But these things be not only grown in ure, and so by custom
and continual time well allowed, as all the rest of their doings in manner be,
but they are now waxen old and rotten ripe. For who hath not heard what a
heinous act Peter Aloisius, Pope Paul the Third’s son, committed against Cosmus
Cherius, the Bishop of Fanum; what John, Archbishop of Beneventum, the Pope’s
legate at Venice, wrote in the commendation of a most abominable filthiness:
and how he set forth, with most loathsome words and wicked eloquence, the
matter which ought not once to proceed out of anybody’s mouth! To whose
ears hath it not come, that N. Diasius, a Spaniard, being purposely sent from
Rome into Germany, so shamefully and devilishly murdered his own brother John Diasius, a most innocent and a most godly man, only
because he had embraced the Gospel of Jesu Christ, and would not return again
to Rome?
