4. But yet I can say more of your Church then of others. He that kills the Head, kills the Man: Your Usurping Head is an Essential part of your New-formed Church: But your Head hath been condemned by Councils; therefore your Church in its essential part hath been condemned by Councils. Do you not know that all the world (as well as the feigned Council Sinuessan.) condemned your Pope Marcellinus for Offering to Idols? Know you not that two or three General Councils condemned Pope Honorius as a Monothelite? Yes: no doubt you know it. Know you not that the second General Council of Ephesus condemned and excommunicated your Pope? And that the Council of Basil called by him did the like? If you do not, see Bellarmines parallel of them de Conciliis lib. 2. cap. 11. Do I need to tell you what the Council of Constance did? Or for what John 22. alias 23. and John 13. and other Popes were deposed by Councils?

2. And for Fathers, do I need to tell you how many condemned Marcellinus, Liberius, Honorius and others? How oft Hilary Pictav. (in fragmentis in recit. Epist. Liberii) doth cry out Anathema tibi Liberi, prevaricator: presuming to curse and excommunicate your Pope. Need I tell you what Tertullian saith against Zephernius: Yea what Alphonsus à Castro and divers of your own say against Liberius, Honorius, Anastasius, Celestine; and tell us that many Popes have been Heretics? At least give us leave to believe Pope Adrian the sixth himself. Read Dom. Bannes in 2m 2a q. 1. art. 10. Where he
