— 1593, Henry Garnet, A Treatise of Christian Renunciation, The Declaration of the Fathers of the Councell of Trent, To the Catholicke Reader, p. 6, in D. M. Rogers (ed.), English Recusant Literature, 1558-1640, Volume 47, Scolar Press, 1970, A third cause there is of the setting forth of this Declaration, for that after so many disputes so often made of this pointe, if our new Laye schismaticall Deuines will not yet be quiett, there can be no fitter moderatours or more authorised Vmpiers, than the President and eleuen other Prelates and Fathers of the Councell of Trent, to impose eternall silence vnto so froward and impudent brabblers.
