Moreover will any Papists deny that Pope Stephen six, and ⟨p. 250⟩Sergius erred when ^ethey judicially decreed that those should be ordained again that were ordained by Pope Form•sus? And of Pope Celestines error Alphonsus a Castro faith ^fthat he himself saw it in the ancient Decretals as his Definition, and therefore that it cannot be said that he erred as a private man, and not as Pope. What can they say of Pope John twenty two who denied the immortality of the soul, and was admonished of his heresy by the Doctors of Paris, as not only Pope Adrian the sixth, Joh. Gerson, Alphons. a Castro, and others witness, but Bellarmine himself confesseth also. But he excuseth him, because that opinion was not there defined against, and therefore was no heresy: See here 1. Whether the Papists do not make themselves a new Faith and Religion when they please, and that is a point of Faith with them one year that was none the year before: so that the novelty and the mutability of their Religion is thus by themselves confessed. 2. See here that a point declared in Scripture, and held by the former Church is no point of Faith with them, unless it be declared by a Pope or General Council. 3. See here what men Bellarmine would make all the former Popes to have been, that had determined, whether the soul were immortal or not. 4. Chamier truly noteth that Bellarmine himself, forgetfully contradicteth himself, and tells us elsewhere that Innocent the third (the ninteeneth Pope before John twenty two) had taught the contrary in express words.
