XIV. It is a Church that pretendeth to have a Judge and end of Controversies; but indeed hath a Judge that for the most part dare not decide them, and that can make no end of them when decided.
For instance, the Controversy of the Virgins immaculate conception decided at Basil, is never the nearer an end. Images were decreed up by some Councils, and down by others. Even S.
