not been distinctly chosen by God as the most solid
enduring, and incorruptible rock of the whole
Christian Church-let him be anathema.
2. If any one shall say that there exists on earth,
distinct and separate from the Chair of the Blessed
Peter, any other Infallible Chair of the Truth of the
Gospel of Christ the Lord-let him be anathema.
3. If any one shall deny that the Divine Supre-
macy of the Chair of the Blessed Peter is to all
men, whether unbelievers or believers. whether
laymeD or bishops. necessary as the true road to
eternal salVation-let him be anatheIna.
4. II any one shall say that each and all of the
Roman POntifs, legitimately elected. are not jure
diUinO successors of the Blessed Peter, in the gift
also of Magisterial Infallibility. and shall deny to
any one of them the prerogatiye of Infallibility to
teach the Church the word owGod, pure from all
corruption and error-let him be anathema.
