Of the twenty second schism the same Wernerus saith thus, (ad annum 1373.) [the twenty second schism was the wo•st and most subtle schism of all that were before it. For it was so perplexed, that the most Learned and Conscientious men were not able to discuss (or find out) to whom they should adhere. And it was continued for forty years, to the great scandal of the whole (lergy, and the great loss of souls, because of Heresies and other evils that then sprung up, because there was then no discipline in the Church against them. And therefore from this Urbane the sixth to the time of Martin the fifth, I know not who was Pope]

After Nicolas the fourth there was no Pope for two years and an half, and Celestine the fifth that succeeded him resigning it, Boniface the eighth entered, that stilled himself Lord of the whole world in Spirituals and Temporals, of whom it was said, He entered as a Fox, lived as a Lyon, and dyed like a Dog, saith the same Wernerus.
The twentieth schism (saith the same Author) was great between Alexander the third, and four Schismatics, and it lasted seventeen years.
