VI

'Tis not the Doctrine of France, that the Pope may dispence without cause, or derogate from the Canons of Councils,* 1.1 la quod tendeva ad abbatere la Monarchia, che le costituzioni fatte dal Concilio non cades∣sero sotto dispensazioni.

But the better to know wherein the Doctrine of France, and its Policy is oppo∣site to that of Rome, one need but to read the Thirty four Articles contained in the Instructions of the French Ambassadors at the Council of Trent, on occasion where∣of Cardinal Simonetta, Pope Pius IV. his great confident in the Council of Trent, said, That the Physick of Reformation ought to be like that which old Physicians prescribe, which is always gentle, al Cardinal Simo∣netta parea che à guisa de'Medici vecchi &* 1.2

cauti non formasse ricette senon leggiere; and that the receipts of the French Reforma∣tion were too strong.
