A multitude of petty Prelates without experience how to govern people, can but produce a like multitude of Sentiments, lit∣tle regular, and Projects likely to trouble the Church,* 1.1 in una moltitudine di persone per lo più non esperte del governo de' popoli si potea dubitare che sorgessero concetti stravaganti e di gran' disturbo al ben della chiesa: An exam∣ple thereof was seen even among the Bi∣shops assembled at the Council of Trent,
vescovi raunati in Trento,* 1.2 i più di lorò ine∣sperti degli affari mondano...* 1.3 i vescovi chi per imperizia di maneggio, chi per discrezione di zelo, &c.
Is it not much to be feared lest the Whimsey should take these petty Prelates to decide once more again, as it was done at the Council of Basil, That a Council is above the Pope?* 1.4 Era da temersi che non si re∣suscitasse la fastidiosa disputazione della mag∣gioranza trà il Concilio e' l Pontifice. Who does not see what trouble such a Decision would bring upon the Church? 'Tis an Opinion held erroneous at Rome, and con∣demned by a multitude of Divines and Ca∣nonists;* 1.5 in Roma si tien per dottrina erronea e condannata dal torrente de' Theologi e de' Canonisti.
