punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o heretic_n or_o contumacious_a person_n 38._o my_o conclusion_n now_o be_v this_o see_v this_o five_o council_n be_v both_o for_o the_o call_n general_a and_o for_o the_o proceed_n therein_o lawful_a and_o orderly_o and_o see_v although_o it_o want_v the_o pope_n consent_n yet_o it_o have_v the_o concurrence_n of_o those_o two_o confirmation_n before_o mention_v episcopal_a and_o imperial_a in_o which_o be_v include_v the_o ecumenical_a approbation_n of_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n it_o hence_o therefore_o ensue_v that_o as_o from_o the_o first_o assemble_v of_o the_o bishop_n it_o be_v a_o holy_a a_o lawful_a and_o ecumenical_a council_n so_o from_o the_o first_o pronounce_v of_o their_o synodal_a sentence_n and_o the_o imperial_a assent_n add_v thereunto_o it_o be_v a_o approve_a general_a council_n approve_v by_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n and_o so_o approve_v that_o without_o any_o express_a consent_n of_o the_o pope_n add_v unto_o it_o it_o be_v of_o as_o great_a worth_n dignity_n and_o authority_n as_o if_o all_o the_o pope_n since_o s._n peter_n time_n have_v with_o their_o own_o hand_n subscribe_v unto_o it_o and_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o satisfy_v the_o four_o and_o last_o exception_n which_o baronius_n devise_v to_o excuse_n vigilius_n from_o heresy_n cap._n xix_o the_o true_a note_n to_o know_v which_o be_v general_a and_o lawful_a and_o which_o either_o be_v not_o general_a or_o be_v general_a be_v no_o lawful_a counsel_n with_o divers_a example_n of_o both_o kind_n 1._o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n be_v sufficient_a to_o refute_v that_o cavil_n of_o baronius_n against_o the_o five_o council_n whereby_o he_o pretend_v it_o to_o have_v neither_o be_v a_o general_n nor_o a_o lawful_a
synod_n because_o the_o pope_n resist_v the_o assemble_v and_o contradict_v the_o decree_n and_o sentence_n thereof_o but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o victory_n but_o truth_n which_o i_o seek_v and_o the_o full_a satisfaction_n of_o the_o reader_n in_o this_o cause_n and_o see_v this_o point_n about_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o general_a counsel_n be_v frequent_a and_o very_o obvious_a and_o such_o as_o be_v right_o conceive_v will_v give_v great_a light_n to_o this_o whole_a controversy_n about_o counsel_n i_o will_v crave_v liberty_n to_o launch_v somewhat_o further_o into_o this_o deep_a and_o explain_v with_o what_o convenient_a brevity_n i_o can_v what_o it_o be_v which_o make_v any_o synod_n to_o
