space_n the_o pope_n neither_o once_o call_v any_o general_a council_n nor_o sit_v precedent_n in_o it_o the_o first_o of_o nice_a be_v call_v by_o constantine_n the_o great_a that_o of_o

of_o alexandria_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v for_o so_o evident_a a_o truth_n second_o he_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o repugnant_a to_o the_o equity_n of_o a_o great_a prince_n to_o be_v both_o judge_n and_o party_n in_o so_o much_o as_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n be_v perpetual_o judge_n until_o he_o be_v lawful_o declare_v to_o have_v forfeit_v his_o principality_n although_o the_o suit_n be_v commence_v against_o himself_o but_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v still_o a_o three_o which_o arbitrate_v betwixt_o the_o prince_n and_o his_o subject_n when_o there_o be_v a_o

no_o prince_n but_o a_o tyrant_n that_o will_v reverse_v that_o judgement_n as_o the_o pope_n have_v do_v in_o disannul_v the_o decree_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o basil_n &_o constance_n make_v against_o himself_o but_o admit_v i_o shall_v confess_v that_o a_o prince_n may_v be_v judge_n in_o his_o own_o cause_n yet_o ought_v that_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o suit_n of_o mean_a

how_o then_o i_o pray_v shall_v this_o controversy_n be_v decide_v if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o judge_n beside_o himself_o three_o he_o show_v by_o example_n that_o pope_n marcelline_n sixtus_n the_o three_o symachus_fw-la leo_fw-la alexander_n patriarch_n of_o alexandria_n cyril_n and_o leo_n the_o first_o be_v judge_n in_o their_o own_o cause_n as_o for_o s._n marcelline_n say_v he_o when_o as_o he_o have_v offer_v incense_n unto_o idol_n he_o go_v and_o accuse_v himself_o in_o the_o council_n of_o sinuessa_n and_o yet_o dare_v no_o man_n denounce_v sentence_n against_o he_o but_o all_o the_o bishop_n cry_v out_o with_o one_o consent_n father_n judge_v thyself_o with_o thy_o own_o mouth_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o discover_v this_o to_o be_v but_o a_o forge_a council_n which_o bring_v in_o the_o emperor_n dioclesian_n talk_v with_o s._n marcelline_a at_o rome_n and_o entice_v he_o to_o idolatry_n ●_o whereas_o dioclesian_n be_v at_o the_o

marcelline_n be_v accuse_v of_o a_o act_n of_o which_o he_o be_v most_o apparent_o guilty_a so_o that_o the_o bishop_n perceive_v that_o the_o pope_n deny_v not_o the_o fact_n and_o that_o he_o be_v

no_o other_o judge_n go_v upon_o they_o but_o themselves_o his_o second_o example_n be_v of_o sixtus_n the_o three_o who_o be_v say_v he_o accuse_v of_o adultery_n will_v have_v a_o synod_n call_v by_o the_o emperor_n authority_n but_o they_o will_v not_o nor_o indeed_o dare_v they_o say_v he_o meddle_v with_o his_o cause_n before_o all_o the_o bishop_n be_v meet_v and_o that_o they_o

it_o follow_v not_o hereupon_o that_o every_o pope_n in_o every_o cause_n ought_v to_o claim_v the_o same_o privilege_n but_o the_o contrary_a rather_o viz._n that_o pope_n sixtus_n the_o five_o who_o will_v not_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v indged_a by_o any_o other_o man_n aught_o to_o have_v be_v so_o because_o sixtus_n the_o three_o who_o will_v have_v be_v so_o be_v not_o what_o necessity_n be_v there_o in_o censure_v he_o who_o innocency_n be_v clear_a and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o token_n of_o innocency_n in_o the_o one_o to_o submit_v himself_o unto_o censure_n so_o to_o refuse_v all_o man_n verdict_n but_o his_o own_o be_v a_o evidence_n that_o he_o find_v himself_o guilty_a but_o i_o demand_v now_o whether_o that_o singular_a privilege_n grant_v unto_o sixtus_n must_v thenceforth_o be_v take_v for_o a_o lead_a cause_n or_o not_o if_o he_o answer_v no_o then_o be_v this_o instance_n nothing_o to_o his_o purpose_n if_o yea_o the_o catholic_n will_v oppose_v it_o for_o bellarmine_n confess_v 4._o that_o in_o case_n of_o heinous_a crime_n a_o council_n may_v be_v call_v to_o sit_v upon_o the_o pope_n 9_o but_o the_o think_v not_o peradventure_o that_o sixtus_n be_v accuse_v of_o any_o heinous_a crime_n which_o as_o i_o think_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o he_o name_v not_o his_o fault_n because_o he_o bare_o intimate_v that_o he_o be_v accuse_v of_o adultery_n whereas_o indeed_o he_o be_v accuse_v for_o defile_v of_o a_o nun_n which_o we_o good_a catholic_n style_v not_o adultery_n but_o incest_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o spiritual_a

the_o call_n of_o the_o council_n yet_o when_o it_o be_v call_v he_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o the_o part_n of_o a_o judge_n in_o it_o but_o with_o all_o humbleness_n purge_v himself_o before_o the_o

charlemaigne_n appear_v at_o rome_n they_o for_o fear_n of_o he_o dare_v not_o stand_v to_o it_o to_o prosecute_v their_o proof_n against_o he_o but_o at_o the_o very_a first_o canvas_n they_o all_o
