I do not mean that all the Papists confess it of both, but one part of them confess it of one and the other ⟨p. 257⟩of the other of them. Bellarmine and his fellow Jesuits with the Italian party do confess that a General Council may err in matters of Faith: The French and Venetian Papists, with all the Doctors of their party affirm that the Pope may err and be a heretic, and teach heresy: so that by the confession of one half of them a Council may err and by the confession of the other half the Pope may err.

If any imagine that though both may err dis-junctly, yet not conjunctly, I shall only now say, that the concession that each of them dis-junctly may err, destroyeth the force of all those Arguments which are brought for their infallibility; and therefore will prove it of them also conjunctly. But we have yet further proof.
