An. 1017. A Council was called at Orleance in France; where, by the Zeal of the religious KingRobert and the Prelates, the burning of Hereticks were let on foot. Bin. out ofGlaber thus reciteth the matter. One Italian woman revived the herefie of the Ma- nichees, and two Clergie men (yet called Palatii proceres et Regi famili- ares) received and fpread it abroad with confidence. The opinions are thus recited byGlaber. a. That the Do&rineof the Trinity delivered in fcripture, is a deceit. 2. That Heaven and Earth are from eternity with- out a maker. 3. That the crimes offenfual pleafure {hall have no punifh- ment. 3. That there is no reward for any Chriftian works, Pave of Piety & Juftice.The two leaders Lifoists and Heribertus,and eleven more were burnt to afhes ; and afterwards as many more as were found guilty of the fame errours.

But Bin, ex Baron. would per- fwade us that this invaded Pope afterward repented, refigned, and was new chofen by the Clergy. He was very like to have their votes when he had gotten fuch power and advantage: But where was the Roman Church that while? Now dyed the pious Emperor Henry, and when he dyed gave up his religious wife to the Bifhops and Abbots, as a Virgin,as he received her; who entered a Monaftery accordingly : Conrade his General fucceeded him, and the Pope (john 21 as Plat. 18 as Bin.) being driven away by the People, Conrade reftored him.
