The University of Paris, nec pontificis reverentia prohibuit, says the report, quominus veritati insistereat, "reverence of the holy father prevented not the university from declaring the truth" , although the matter then in question was an article of the faith and lay within a field within which the competence of the pope could not be doubted, still the university, on the 22d of January, 1332, put forth a decree in which this construction of the dogma was classed to be erroneous.

Attamen non dubitamus, quin in futurum per meliorem vitae conuersationem merebuntur de nostris eam manibus recuperare. Ad hoc ego vltra confusus et stupefactus, nequiui inuenire responsum; verebar enim obloqui veritati, quamuis ab Infidelis ore prolatae, et vultu prae rubore demisso percunctatus sum, Domine, salua reuerentia, qualiter potestis ita plene hoc noscere?

I no more like a web where the knots and seams are to be seen, than a fine figure, so delicate, that a man may tell all the bones and veins: "Quae veritati operam dat oratio, incomposita sit et simplex."
