And further, least my judgement herein should seem to stand alone and singular, without some to take my part, I will here produce for me a Parisian Doctor,1 and a famous Lawyer, Joannes Quintius above mentioned, who in his book De Clericorum moribus, plainly accordeth w•th mine opinion, touching this Nicolas author of the Decree aforesaid, where he writeth in these words: Nicolaus Papa Othoni Coloniensi Archiepisc. &c. Quinque fuerunt hoc nomine pontifices Primum, secundumúe oportuit esse, qui haec rescripserit, ille Romanus, anno. 860. hic Burgundus, an. 1059. Reliquos Ninolaos antecessit Gratianus, qui scripsit haec, anno. 1150 Posteriorem fuisse credo, qui in Panomiae lib. 3. Tit. de lapsis, nominatur Nicholaus junior, cuius est & aliud Decretum sequens. 2&c. That is to say in English: Pope Nicolas writing to Otho Archbishop of Colen. Glos. There have been in all, five Popes called by this name of Nicolas. Of the which five, this Nicolas the writer hereof must be either the first, or second: the one a Roman, anno. 860. the other a Burgundian, an. 1059 or. 1060. the other Nicolas lived after Gratian, who wrote in the year. 1150. In my judgement I suppose this to be Nicholas the second, which in the third book of the Laws called Pannomiae. Tit. de lapsis, is named Nicolas the younger. Which Nicholas also is author of the next Decree that followeth. &c.
And further, least my iudgement herein should seeme to stand alone and singular, without some to take my part, I will here produce for me a Parisian Doctour,1 and a famous Lawyer, Ioannes Quintius aboue mentioned, who in his booke De Clericorum moribus, plainely accordeth w•th mine opinion, touching this Nicolas authour of the Decree aforesaide, where he writeth in these wordes: Nicolaus Papa Othoni Coloniensi Archiepisc. &c. Quinque fuerunt hoc nomine pontifices Primum, secundumúe oportuit esse, qui haec rescripserit, ille Romanus, anno. 860. hic Burgundus, ann. 1059. Reliquos Ninolaos antecessit Gratianus, qui scripsit haec, anno. 1150 Posteriorem fuisse credo, qui in Panomiae lib. 3. Tit. de lapsis, nominatur Nicholaus iunior, cuius est & aliud Decretum sequens.
