 out of tlm evil assumption by men of an attribute which 

 our liloxaed Lord, tempted to assume dominion over all the 

 kiiiK'tloniH of the world, and the glory of them, stedfastly 

 renounced. The power hitherto supposed to be inherent in 

 councils is now to be transferred to the Pope. An infallible 

 Church is represented by a general council, which is therefore 

 itself infallible; and being so, is able, without the slightest 

 shock to any historic sentiment, to depose itself in favour of 

 one infallibly elected to receive its functions. Such was the 

 scene which was enacted at Rome at the last council, a scene 

 which appropriately comes after the scenes formerly enacted 

 *hrrt\ in which dissentients were burned, the consciences of 

 men were bound up tightly in bonds from which they have never 

 since been free, and in which truly men have " played such fan- 

 tastic tricks before high heaven as made the angels weep."
