No custom of anyone can thwart the itatutes of the popes. ft. Let no resistance be offered to the apostolic (canon) precepts, but let them be lalutlferlously fulfilled. T. The yoke Imposed by the holy see Is to S borne, though it appear Intolerable and insupportable. I. The pontiff can nelthor be loosed no Sound by the secular power. 1 That the Pontiff was called God by the pious Prince Constantine, and that as god he cannot be Judged as man. 10.

W. Heretics are to be deprived of all civil and paternal right. 11. The pope can absolve from all oaths. C Every bishop la ordinary Judge in a cause of heresy. The reason is because tbe bishops can ex-offlclo, and ought to extirpate heretics, and Inflict upon them the due pun ishments, and to this are bound on pain of deposition. Besides, are the Inquisitors es pecially deputed by the apostolic see. Every bishop in his diocese Is thought to be, and in reality Is, a natural Inquisitor, (liter ally born Inquisitor), so as to have the same power with those already mentioned in a cause of heresy, 33.
