With this counsel of Bassinet, all the company was offended, but especially the Bish. of Aix, who lifting up his voice above all the rest, said thus unto him: O thou man of little faith,1 whereof art thou in doubt? Doest thou repent thee of that thou haste well done? Thou haste told here a tale that smelleth of fagots and brimstone. Is there any difference (thinkest thou) between heresies and blasphemies spoken and maintained against the holy Scriptures: and opinions holden against our holy mother the Church, and contrary to our holy father the Pope, a most undoubted and true God in earth?2 Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? Then said the Bishop of Arles, could any man entreat better of the little Bark of Christ Jesus, then my Lord of Aix hath done? Then stood up Bassinet again, and made this Oration.
