3. THe dispensing of pardons and indulgences, is onely committed, they say, [error 25] to the chiefe magistrates the Popes and Bishops: and as the Bishops in their Diocese haue especiall cases reserued to themselues, wherein inferiour Priests are not to deale: so the Pope hath also his proper reseruations, wherein other Prelates are not to meddle, Concil. Trident. sess. 14. cap. 7. The cases reser∣ued to the Pope are 51. in number, Fox. pag. 785. The Bishop of Paris, ann. 1515 reserued these cases to himselfe, to dispense in murder, witchcraft, sacrilege, he∣resie, simonie, adulterie, ex Tileman. Heshus. loc. 9. de poeniten. err. 63. Likewise the yeares of their pardons are limited: Bishops may not exceede 40. dayes pardon: the Pope may be lauish in his hundreds and thousands, yea, and this reseruation of cases, standeth not onely with the externall policie of the Church, but is of force euen before God, Concil. Trident. sess. 14. cap. 7.
