2. But some say, that these were no Decrees of the Council, because they were but proposed in haste by Pope Innoc. and not passed by the Council. This help Bishop Taylor, Bishop Gunning, and Bishop Pierson, in kindness, would give the Papists; but unthankful Men will not accept it: And therefore the Answerers to Bishop Gunning and Bishop Pierson prove the contrary, as Mr. Dodwell hath unanswerably done lately at large: And what ever it was in it self, it was a General Council to the Papists, and is part of their Religion, who number it with the approved ones. And Math. Paris saith but this, that [many Decrees were proposed, or brought in by the Pope, which some liked, and some disliked] and yet the Major Vote might pass them: See also Naucler, Gen. 41. an. 1215. Godefrid ad an. 1215. Platin. in Vit. Innoc. 3.
