of churches y e discord debate strife of the whole world hath folowed euyn vntyl this pÌ„seÌ„t tyme. These thiÌ„ges manifestly do repugne ar plaiÌ„ly contrarye to y e boke of the actes of Siluester whiche boke Vincentius saith to haue ben translated out of Greke by a certayn man whose name he knoweth nat as it is had in the same boke in the ix chap. who wolde nat rather gyue credence to Ierome whiche is an approued authour than to y e writyngê of an vnknowen authour which therfore are called Apochriphe scriptures The texte also which is ascribed to Melchiades y e pope whiche is had in the .xii. cause the first questioÌ„ FuturaÌ„ c. which texte semeth to be somwhat agaiÌ„st this sayeng Is nat y e texte of Melchiades after y e miÌ„de of a certayne glose also accordyng to y e very trouth For Melchiades was pÌ„decessour to Siluester as it appereth in y e cataloge of the popes of Rome And if CoÌ„staÌ„tine was baptyzed of Syluester accordiÌ„g to y e commune noyse fame thaÌ„ it is euydeÌ„t that y e tytle of y e texte is false For it maketh meÌ„tion of y e baptisme of CoÌ„staÌ„tine And albeit that y e sayd texte had ben writteÌ„ by Melchiades yet coulde nat therof any argumeÌ„t or profe he takeÌ„ agaiÌ„st the pÌ„misses for it sayth nothiÌ„g els but y e ConstaÌ„tine forsoke y e emê‘iall place of Rome grauÌ„ted it to Peter to his successours that is to say y t wher soÌ„tyme was y e emê‘iall seate there is now y e papall see which thiÌ„ge no maÌ„ denyeth And trouth it is that CoÌ„staÌ„tine theÌ„perour was in y e time of Melchiades y e pope and that he was thaÌ„ christen as it is red in the workes of saint AugustiÌ„e in many places namely in y e epistle to Glorius Elusyus which beguineth in this wise Dixit quidaÌ„ aplolus c. this also agreeth w t the miÌ„de of saiÌ„t Ierome I haue seeÌ„ also y e decre of Leo the pope in y e sinode holdeÌ„ at RoÌ„e w t the subscription of the bisshoppes clerkes of the cytizeÌ„s of Rome where Leo y e pope restored to Otho the first all y e places which had ben gyueÌ„ by y e kiÌ„ges Pipyn Charles Roberte to saiÌ„t Peter And all y e sayd places ar named in y e same decre but ther is no meÌ„tion made of y e donation of CoÌ„staÌ„tine In my iugemeÌ„te those textes coÌ„cerniÌ„g CoÌ„staÌ„tine ar apocriphe of non auctorite Â¶ Antonine y e archebisshoppe of Florence saith as here foloweth in y e eyghte tytle the secoÌ„de chapitour the eyghte paragraffe of the fyrst parte historiall THe thyrde dout is of the donatioÌ„ or gyft made to the churche by ConstaÌ„tine of the which donation meÌ„tion is made in the decrees the xCvi. distiÌ„ction CoÌ„staÌ„tinê° But that chapitour is nat fouÌ„de in the olde auÌ„cieÌ„t boke of the decrees Therfore what how moch he gaue it is nat very certayne but neuer the lesse it semeth at the lest wise to be that which Ludouyke kiÌ„ge of FrauÌ„ce emê‘our ê“myseth vnder othe to Paschalis y e pope to his successours wherof meÌ„tion is made in the .lxiii. distiÌ„ction Ego Ludouicus c. which Otto the fyrst emê‘our of the Germayns doth confirme to IohnÌ„ the pope in the same distiÌ„ction Tibi c. But yet euen to this day it is a great question amonge the Canonistes lawyers whether y e donation gyfte hath holden which thiÌ„ge the Canonistes do vtterly affyrme the diuynes do more confirme And y t it was no plaine donation but rather a restitution made to the churche of her owne â—â—ght For as moch as all thiÌ„ges are of the dominion if Christ whose vicare the pope is in erthe but the other thiÌ„ges he hath dimyssed lefte to the temporall â—ordes Â¶ Raphaell Volaterrane in the lyfe of great ConstaÌ„tyne writeth thus as foloweth OF the gyfte or grauÌ„t of ConstaÌ„tine â–ª there is no meÌ„tion made in any authours saue onely in the boke of decrees And y t the sayd donation or grauÌ„t is nat coÌ„tayned in the auÌ„cieÌ„t volumes of the olde tyme.
