LXXII. In Justinian's time a Controversy arose, whether we may say [One of the Trinity was crucified?] Hormisda Bishop of Rome said No. The Nestorians took hold of this and said, [Then we may not say Mary was Mother to one of the Trinity.] Justinian sent for a Council about it to Pope John: He and his Bishops concluded contrary to Hormisda, that we may say [One of the Trinity was crucified.] And say Baronius and Binius [Ita mutatis hostibus arma mutari necesse suit.] Faith changeth as occasions change. Reader, if thou seest not here how Bishops have broken the Church in pieces, I must not tell thee, lest Mr. M. be angry.
