SixBifhops, and Nine Presbyters, and Four Dea- cons made a Council at Rome, to Canonize Vdalric Bifhop of Augufla, Anno 993; upon the reports of his Holinefs and Miracles. Here let me at once tell the Reader, that he hash no caufe to think the moll of there Canonizations wholly eaufelefs. But that while Pope and Patriarcks, confounded all by wickednefs and contentious pride; God had many faithful Whops and Presbyters that lived holily in quieter and privater kind of Life; And the Popes that would not en- dure themfelves to live a Godly life, thought it their honour to have fuch in the Church that did, and to magnify them when dead, and pat! contradicting them. lull like the Pharifees; Mat. 23. that killed the 'living Servants of God, and -honoured the dead, and built them Mo- numeats, Paying, If we had lived in chafe days, we would not have killed them. 4 80.
