§ 32. CLXXIX. An. 563. in the time of Pope John 3d. (not he, but) Theodomire, alias* Ariamire King of the Sueves, called a small Council at Braccara in Galicia, where eight Bishops opened so much of the Priscillian Heresy, as ⟨p. 187⟩may tell us it was worthy to be detested (not much unlike the Manichees;) and many old Canons they recited: But I could have wished that they had not made a mans diet the note of his Heresy, and a sufficient cause of his conviction and damnation. The Priscillianists (as these say) would not eat flesh, nor herbs boiled with flesh.2 This Council ordered that if any that abstained from flesh, did not eat herbs boiled with flesh, he should be taken for an Heretic. This is not conformable to Paul's Rules or Spirit.
