wicked tumults Yet this is the man whom Bellarmine will iustifie by seuen and twenty Authors and C.E. can adde two more to the heape yea in those very things for which he condemned himselfe Reader if one of his euill spirits should haue stept into Peters chaire doe yee thinke he could haue wanted Proctors But how good an account we were like to haue of seuen and twenty Authors if it would require the cost to examine them appeares in that l l Lamb.

That Gregory the seuenth was deposed by the French and German Bishops Only the Germans hee saith were Actors in that Tragedy But if not at Wormes yet let him tell me what was done at Brixia and by whom Quamobrem Italiae Germaniae Galliae Pontifices c.
