Panormitanus saith, That Councils 1may err as they have erred, as concerning that contract of Matrimony, Inter raptorem & raptā, & the saying of S. Hierome was afterward preferred above the statute of the Council as it is proved. 36. q. 2. Tria, for in things concerning the faith is the saying of a private person to be preferred before the saying of the pope, if he have better reasons & scriptures of the new, & of the old Testament for him then the Pope. Nor it can not help, to say that the Council can not err, because that Christ did pray for his Church that her faith should not fail▪ For I answer to this, that though the general Council do represent the whole universal Church: nevertheless in very deed there is not the very universal Church, but representative. For the universal Church standeth in the election of all faithful men: and all faith full men of the world make that universal Church, whose head and spouse is Christ Jesus, and the Pope is but the Vicar of Christ and not the very head of the Church, this is the Church that can not err. &c. 248. col. 1

Hierome was afterward preferred aboue the statuteof the Councell as it is proued. 36. q. 2. Tria, for in things cōcernyng the faith is the saying of a priuat persō to bee preferred before the saying of the pope, if hee haue better reasōs & scriptures of the new, & of the old Testamēt for him then ye Pope. Nor it can not helpe, to say that the Councell can not erre, because that Christ dyd pray for his Church that her fayth should not fayle▪ For I aunswere to this, that though the generall Councell doe represent the whole vniuersall Church: neuertheles in very deede there is not the very vniuersall Church, but representatiue. For the vniuersall Church standeth in the election of all faythfull men: and all fayth full men of the world make that vniuersall Churche, whose head and spouse is Christ Iesus, and the Pope is but the Ʋicare of Christ and not the very head of the Churche, this is the Church that cā not erre. &c. 248. col. 1
