And in the Council of Trent, their Cornelius Muss, a Bishop there, and the wonder of his age among the Papists, saith that [there was no monsters of filthiness, or sink, or plague of uncleanness, with which both people and Priest was not defiled: In the very Sanctuary of God, there was no shame, no modesty, no hope or regard of good living: but unbridled and untamed lust, singular audaciousness, incredible wickedness.] And after more of the like he adds, [Would they had not fallen from Religion to superstition, from faith to infidelity, from Christ to Antichrist, yea as men that had no souls, from God to Epicurus or Pythagoras, saying in an impious heart, and an impudent mouth, there is no God. And yet now of a long time, there hath been no Pastor that would require, (or seek them again) I say there was none to seek them, because they all sought their own things, but not one the things of Jesus Christ] The same Bishop Cornelius Muss after the Council writes thus (To. 2.

I speak not now of enemies that call it Babylon, Hell, the Whore, and say it is the sink of all Errors: But I speak of friends, that groan and daily sigh within themselves, saying, O holy City, how art thou thus profaned! O glorious City! that art thus become vile; thus contemned, and neglected.] These and many more such Testimonies of their own writers, Rivet and many of ours have oft set before them.
