Pope John the twenty third was accused and deposed by the General Council at Constance, upon about seventy Articles which in Binnius take up about thirteen columns in folio: and therefore I suppose you would give me no thanks to trouble you with the recital of them all. The first Article was, that he was from his youth, a man of a bad disposition, immodest, impudent, a liar, a rebel and disobedient to his parents, and given to most vices, and then was, and yet is commonly taken for such a one by all that knew him.

The fourth Article, that being Legate at Bononia he governed Tyrannically, impiously, unjustly, being wholly alien from all Christian piety, and justice, divine and humane, &c. The fifth Article, that thus he got to be Pope, and yet continued as bad, and as a Pagan despised the worship of God, and if he performed any, it was more lest he should be totally blamed of heresy and cast out of the Papacy, ⟨p. 23⟩then for any devotion, and he huddled it up like an Hunter or a Soldier.

The seventh Article was, that being a vessel of all sins, repelling the worthy, he Simonically sold Benefices, Bishoprics and Church dignities openly to the unworthy that would give most for them.
