Note 307 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
D'Ewes, p. 239; Parl. Hist. 790; Strype's Life of Parker, 394.
In a debate between Cardinal Carvajal and Rockisane, the famous Calixtin archbishop of Prague, at the council of Basle, the former said he would reduce the whole argument to two syllables; Crede. The latter replied he would do the same, and confine himself to two others; Proba. Lenfant makes a very just observation on this: "Si la gravité de l'histoire le permettoit, on diroit avec le comique: C'est tout comme ici. Il y a long tems que le premier de ces mots est le langage de ce qu'on appelle l'Eglise, et que le second est le langage de ce qu'on appelle l'heresie." Concile de Basle, p. 193.
