Specially a New man, which hath ex professo, debated and proued out of their owne mouths euen by the Rules and Lawes of that their Conclaue, that there is not now, nor for long time past since, hath beene any Regularly made neither Pope nor Cardinal; wherefore from thence forth they haue not dealt (as they were wont before) by a shew of Legal proceedings, as by Excomunications, Interdicts, Jndulgences, Dispensati∣ons, and such like formalities. But now they plainly declare themselues by Assasinats, Leagues, Proscripti∣ons, Inuasions, Breaches of promise and faith, Treasons v∣niuersal and particular, as is discouered by their owne letters and Remonstrances one to another, which they hoped should neuer haue come to light in Testimony a∣gainst them.
