A General Council at Constantinople condemn Image Worship as Idolatry, and swear men against it, and against praying to the Apostles, Martyrs, and Virgins (I suppose before Images.) §. 24. This Council and the Council of Nice second, determine that Christ glorified body is not flesh (with Anathema.) §. 26. Noted as to Transubstantiation and other Errors. §. 26, 27. Pippins Council decreeth every City a Bishop, and joineth the sword or force to Excommunication, banishing the despisers of it. §. 28. The Greeks accuse the Latins for adding [Filioque.] §. 30. The People still choose Popes. §. 29, 31. Three Popes fighting for it: one putting out the eyes and cutting out the tongue of the other, and of his adherents. §. 31. Constantine's Acts invalid, except Baptizings and Consecrating. §. 33. Christophers eyes and life taken away through the Pope that he set up. §. 35. Desiderius fighteth against the Pope, Charles M. overcometh him, and maketh Pope Adrian grater than any before him. §. 37. Why Deacons mostly made Popes: No Bishop might be made Pope, or removed. §. 39. The terms of Papist Writers expounded. §. 40. Putting penance on Murderers for hanging, filled the Church with Rogues. §. 41. The Historians give the lie to each other about the power given Carol. M. in making Popes and Bishops.

A Bishop neglecting to convert Heretics▪ he was to have them that delivered them, &c. §. 51. Ch. Mag. forceth the Saxons to profess themselves Christians and swear perseverance, which they oft broke. §. 52. Eight more old Canons collected by Adrian, e. g. The Bishops sentence void, not confirmed by the presence of the Clergy. The judgment of a Bishop in another's Parish void, for none is bound by the sentence of any but his own Judge. Foreign Judgments forbidden: All to be judged by Men chosen by themselves. No Clergy-man to be judged without lawful accusers present, and leave to defend himself.
