You will remember The title sent you nearly a
week ago OF the new SchenldtG distributed TO the
fathers and what have since added to the informa-
ton then gave. Perhaps you would ike to see
what IS AT last said on this matter in official quar-
ers. ''The second Schema relating to matters OF
faith treats ofthe constitution OF the Church as the
first treated Of God" lBy tas last phrase reference
IL intended to raiionalsln, science, DC, which are
supposed to be opposed and der0gatory to God.)

baoe that as soon as the discussion OF It is COM

already received by the Universal Church.
In the chapter concerning the Roman Pontln, we
propose thai, after the condemnation Of certain
might be sdded:-We utterly reprobate the temeriIy
OF those VINO have the audacity TO appeal from the
decisions OF the Sovereign Pontin to an ECumenical
Council. Furthermore, we condemn the perverse
cavis OF those who have the audacitJ to say that
assent OF the mind and heart il due 80 the decisions
OF the Roman Pontn
Moreover, we utterly reprobate the way OF speak.
Ing and teaching common among those who, rashly
supposfng q prepoSterous division OF opinion be-
tween the body OF the episcopacy and the Supreme
POntl, dispute as to which or them hath the greater
authority ana thus endeavor to sever Peter from the
Church as . head from It's body; ~ II the body Of
the Fathers whom Peter is ordered IN MS successors

Nor do we regard rs less rcprehensibe the opn-

may more freely spread those errors abroad which
