Platina tells us, that Pope John was depofed only bythole thathad adhered to him, before the other parties came. He was kept Prifoner three years, none but Germane!, whom he utaderfloodnot,attending him : Gregory died of grief, that Carolus Malatefla had too haflily publithed his refignati- on, whichhe harped to frufirateby delay. Benedict refuting to refign, the Arragonians and Spaniards forfook him as obftinate. The Scot Huck fall to him: Platina faith Huff' and Hierome wereburnt forlaying that Churchmen fhould+imitate Califin poverty, when their wealth and luxurywas the common Scandal. There was great joy at the choice of Martin. g. but Romeand Italy were Hill inwars and confufion. § 19. Gregory was preferred till he died, and this P.John foodionfly del cribed by the Council is yet after tome years imprifonment made Cardinal Bithopof Tufculum. Owhat Bithops then had the Church! 6 zo. For all the confirmationsof this Council, the decrees of aCoun- cil being above the Pope, are laid by molt Papifis to be unapproved, be- caufe the Council of Florence and Lacerane judged the contrary to be true. § 2 r.

He bath prefently a War and much bloodthed in the freers of Rome, with the Columnenjes.

The Emperor coming into Italy he would have refilled 'but could not, who peaceably carne and went. It were tedious to relate all his and others Wars in Italy; Platina and many o- thers do it. The Council at Bzfil beginning, he would have removed it toBoron a: The Emperour and Council refill, and threaten him, and he contirmeth it for, faith Platina, he had fcarce breathing time fromvexing Wars.
