Moreover he showed that in the matter of faith. not only the general council, but also every faithful christian is above the Pope, if he leave to better authority and reason: that the ⟨p. 846⟩Extravagant containeth untruths: that it is an infallible verity, that none is just: that it is necessary for him that cometh to the receiving of the sacrament, to believe: that faith in the absolution and remission of sins, is necessary that he ought not nor might not decline from the verity of the Scripture: that he sought nothing but the light of the truth.1 &c.
