Note 117 — LETTER XLII.[115] JOHN CARDINAL TO JOHN HUSS.
Campbell Mackenzie translation
This passage is exceedingly obscure. It may be seen that it relates to what John Huss had said that he would appeal to Jesus Christ. In law are called apostles certain letters which the appellant ought to obtain from the judges to whom he has appealed; because, if they are not obtained after a certain delay, he is supposed to have renounced his appeal, and is obliged to submit to his first judgment.—Lenfant, History of the Council of Constance.
