Andreas Dudithius the Defendant.

What good could be done in that Coun∣cell, wherein voyces were numbred, but not wayed? If the merits of the cause (hee spea∣keth of the Communi∣on in both kindes) or reason might haue car∣ried it, or if but a few had ioyned with vs, wee had won the day. But when the number onely could beare sway, in which wee came short, though our cause was excee∣ding good, wee were faine to sit downe by the losse, &c. In summe the matter came to that passe, through the wickednesse of those hungrie Bishops, that hung vpon the Popes sleeue, and were crea∣ted on the sudden by Page  224 the Pope for the pur∣pose, that that Coun∣cell seemed to be an as∣sembly not of Bishops, but of Hobgoblins; not of men, but of Ima∣ges, moued like the statues of Dedalus, by the sinewes of others.
