had made an other conclusion, whiche they would haue affirmed to haue bene of force, because they would say the last conclusion was to be receaued. But many being warned by the wordes of þ^e Prothonotarie, and callyng to remēbraunce the lyke chaunce of other Councels before, called backe againe the multitude whiche were departyng, & cried vpon the Cardinall and the Patriarke to sit down agayn, & that they should not leaue þ^e church voyde and quiet for theyr aduersaries. Wherupon, sodenlye all the whole multitude satte downe, and the gates were shut agayne. MarginaliaAlbiganensis redeth the protestation, but none could heare hym.In the meane tyme Mathæus Albiganensis a Bishop, read the protestation to none els but to him self alone, for it could not be heard for noyse: which beyng ended, the Lombardes and the Cathelanes confirmed the protestation. Whē the Cardinall of Terraconia sayd þ^t he did agree to that dissension, they maruailed at that saying. And when some smyled & laughed at him: what sayd he, ye fooles, do ye mocke me? do not þ^e Ambassadors of my king dissent frō you? What do you maruaile then if I do say, I do consent vnto their dissension? And with these wordes, he and almost all the Arragons Lombardes and Cathelanes departed, all the other taried still. MarginaliaThe affaires of the councell are red.And albeit it was somewhat late (for it was past ij. at after none) Arelatensis seying the congregation quiet, commaunded the affaires of priuate persons to be read, as the maner is: which beyng ended, he cōmaunded also the publike affaires to be read, and willed the cōclusions and the forme of the decree to be read, agayne. There remayned in the congregation, the Ambassadors of the Empire and of Fraunce, talkyng together of theyr affaires. Notwithstandyng the bishop of Turnon heard mention made of the conclusions, and turnyng him self to the Byshop of Lubecke, sayd: lo, the matters of fayth are now in hand agayn, let vs go hence I pray you that we be not an offence vnto others, or that we be not sayd to dissent from the other Ambassadours. To whom theByshop of Lubecke aunswered: tary father, tary here, are not the conclusions most true? Why are you afraid to be here for the truth? These words were not heard of many, for they spake them softely betwene them selues. MarginaliaEneas Syluius being present collected this.Notwithstanding I heard it, for I sittyng at their feete, did diligently obserue what they sayd. Arelatensis, after all things were read, which he thought necessary, at the request of the deputies concluded, and so makyng an end dismissed the congregation. MarginaliaArelatensis concludeth here, as he did also before, not without the consent of the deputies, according to the order of the Councell.Twise, it is declared, w^t how great difficultie Arelatensis concluded, for somuch as neither the matter nor the forme could be concluded without dissension: Marginalia* Eneas, you did not so praise this councell after you were byshop your selfe.* and the conclusions were miraculous, and past all mens hope, but were obteined by the industrie of Arelatensis, or rather by the speciall gift of the holy Ghost.

After this, it was determined betwene the Lōbardes and Aragons to absteine from the deputacions for a certaine tyme, whiche they did not long obserue, notwithstandyng the deputations were holden very quietly for a certeine space: neither was there any thyng done worthy of remembraunce, vntill the. xv. day of May, duryng which tyme, all meanes possible were sought to set a cōcorde betwene the fathers, but it would not be. Then Nicolas Amici promoter of þ^e faith, was called into the congregation, & briefly rehearsed those thinges which were done þ^e daies before, and declared howe that Arelatensis might point a Session. Wherfore, for somuch as delay in matters of faith was daungerous, he required that a Session should be appointed against þ^e morow after, requiring the Cardinal for his dignities sake, in þ^t he was called the principall of the church, and þ^e other byshops, that (as they had promised in theyr consecration) they would not now shrinke from the churche in these waightye affaires, and suffer the fayth to be oppressed: but the other inferiours he required vpon their othe which they had taken, to shewe them selues faythfull and constant herein. Then agayne there fell a great con-tention vpon these wordes: for Arelatensis, as he was required, did appoint a Session, and exhorted all men to be there present in their Robes. MarginaliaThe byshop of Lubeck.The Byshop of Lubecke rising vp, made a protestation in his owne name, and also in the name of his protector, that he would not consent, that there should be any Session, if it should in any part derogate frō þ^e agrement had at Mētz. Georgius Miles also, his felow Ambassadour consented to this protestation. When as the protectour of the Councell appointed by the Emperour, MarginaliaConrade Winiperg a baron.vnderstood him selfe for to be named by the byshop of Lubecke, he meruailed a while what the matter should be. But being certified by an interpreter, he aunswered that he would in no case consent vnto the protestation of the Byshop of Lubecke, and that he did not knowe any thing of theyr doynges at Mentz. also þ^t he was sent by the Emperour to the sacred Councell, and hath his charge which he doth well remember, and would bee obedient thereunto. After whome the Byshop of Concense, accordyng to his accustomed maner, made his protestation, & after hym also folowed Panormitane. Whose words before I will repeat, I desire that no man would maruaile that I make mention so often of Panormitane: for it is necessary to declare the matter in order as it was done. It happened in these matters euen as it doth in warlike affaires: For as there, such as are most valiaunte and strong, and doo most woorthy feates, obteine most fame, MarginaliaPanormytan the Achilles of the Eugenians, and Arelatensis the Hector of the councell.as in the battaile of Troy, Achilles and Hector: so in these spirituall warres and contentions, those whiche most excell in learnyng and eloquence, and do more thē other, should be most renouned and named: for on the one part Panormitane was prince and Captaine, on þ^e other, Arelatensis: but his own will made not the one Captain, but onely necessitie, for it be behoued hym to obey hys prince. Notwithstandyng he was not ignoraunt of the truth and veritie, neither dyd he resiste willingly agaynst it: for I haue sene him often times in his librarye complaine of his prince, that he folowed other mens Councell. When as his tyme came to speake, he sayd that he did not a litle maruaile why the protector of þ^e fayth, should requre the Prelates to haue a Session, which was nothyng perteinyng to his office, & that he ought not to vsurpe the Presidētes place. And agayne he complayned, touchyng the contempt of the Prelates, for the matter did presently touch the state of the Apostolike sea, and for that cause the sea ought to be heard before any Session be holdē. Neither is it to be regarded (said he) þ^t the coūcel of Cōstance semeth to haue decreed, that it should now be spoken of, For so much as pope Iohn was not heard at Constance, neither any mā els, to speake for the sea. By which wordes he seemed both to contemne and bring in doubt, all the decrees of that most great and sacred Synode of Constance: therfore there was a great tumult, and all men cryed out with one voice, saying: that the Synode of Constance: is holy, and þ^e authoritie therof ought to be inuiolate. MarginaliaThe papists extol that which maketh for their purpose, but the contrary they contemne, whether it be scripture or prophane.But he, beyng still instaunt, with a stoute and haute courage, affirmed that the matter coulde not bee finished without the Ambassadours of the Princes, and that the Princes ought to be heard in a matter of fayth. And agayne that the Embassadours themselues can not consent, forsomuche as in the Colloqui holden at Mentz, they had promised þ^t during the treatie of peace by thē begunne, they would receiue and allow nothing that the Pope should either doo against the councell, or the councell against the Pope: and that he douted not, but that the three first conclusions declared Eugenius an heretike, in somuch as it was euident, that Eugenius did vehementlye resiste the two first. And therefore, for so much as the Session was not yet holdē, and that it was lawfull for euery man before þ^e Session to speake what he will, he desired and required thē most instantly, that there myght be no Session as yet holden.
