This Oration of the Cardinal, was heard & very well allowed of the fathers. Whereunto the Bohemians answered in few words,1 that they neither had contemned the Church nor the councils: that the sentence given at Constance against those which were unheard, doeth diminish nothing of the Christian religion: that the authority of the fathers hath always remained amongst them inviolate, and whatsoever thing the Bohemians had taught, to be confirmed by the scriptures and Gospel, and that they are now come to manifest their innocency before the whole Church, and to require open audience, where as the laity may also be present. The request was granted them: and being further demanded in what points they did disagree from the church of Rome, they propounded 4. Articles.
