Then Procopius rising up, said, neither is it untrue, for if neither Moses, neither before him the Patriarchs, neither after him the Prophets, neither in the new law Christ and his Apostles did institute the order of begging friars, who doth doubt but that it was an invention of the devil, and a work of darkness?
Then Procopius rising vppe, sayde, neither is it vntrue, for if neyther Moises, neyther before hym the Patriarkes, neither after him the Prophets, neyther in the new lawe Christe and hys Apostles did institute the order of begging friers, who doth dout but that it was an inuention of the deuil, and a worke of darkenesse?
This answer of Procopius was derided of them all: And Cardinal Julianus went about to prove that not only the decrees of the Patriarchs and Prophets,1 and those things which Christ and his Apostles had instituted to be only of God, but also all such decrees as the church should ordain, being guided through the holy ghost, be the works of God. All be it as he said, the order of begging Friars, might seem to be taken out of some part of the gospel. The Bohemians chose out 4. divines which should declare their Articles to be taken out of the Scriptures. Likewise on the contrary part there was 4. appointed by the Council. This disputation continued 50. days, where many things were alleged on either part, whereof, as place shall serve, more hereafter (by the grace of Christ) shall be said, when we come to the time of that Council.
