1000. Also all other things taught, defined, and declared by the sacred canons and ecumenical Councils, and especially by the sacred and holy Synod of Trent, (and by the ecumenical Council of the Vatican,1 particularly concerning the primacy of the Roman Pontiff and his infallible teaching), I without hesitation accept and profess; and at the same time all things contrary thereto, and whatever heresies have been condemned, and rejected, and anathematized by the Church, I likewise condemn, reject, and anathematize. This true Catholic faith, outside of which no one can be saved, (and) which of my own accord I now profess and truly hold, I, N., do promise, vow, and swear that I will, with the help of God, most faithfully retain and profess the same to the last breath of life as pure and inviolable, and that I will take care as far as lies in my power that it be held, taught, and preached by my subjects or by those over whom by virtue of my office I have charge, so help me God, and these holy Gospels of God.

  2. DuPl III, II 110 ff.; coll. Viva 553 a; CIC Rcht II 136 ff.—Michael Baius (du Bay), born in 1513, professor on the faculty of theology at Louvain, began to propose false doctrines in 1551. When presently others, especially Ruardus Lapperus, strenuously opposed him, in the year 1560 the theses of du Bay were sent to the faculty in Paris and were condemned by it. But when du Bay and his followers stirred up great contention, Pius IV in the year 1561 imposed silence upon him. But when du Bay did not obey, Pius V in a Bull, not then published, "Ex omnibus afflictionibus," omitting the name of the writer, noted his theses with various censures. Then du Bay sent a defense of his teaching to the Pontiff, who after reading it confirmed in the year 1569 the earlier condemnation. And when du Bay, who for appearance sake had subjected himself, was unwilling to cease spreading his errors, that condemnation was repeated and the Bull of Pius V was published by Gregory XIII in the Bull "Provisionis nostrae" on Jan. 29, 1579 [BR(T) 8, 315 a ff.; Hrd X 126 ff.], and afterwards by Urban VIII in the Bull "In eminenti Eccl. milit." on the 6th of March, 1641 [BR(T) 15, 93 a ff.].—These theses either word for word, or at least according to sense have been selected from the various works of du Bay: 1–20, "On the merits of works" (De meritis operum); 21–24, 26, "On the first justice of man" (De prima hominis iustitia); 25, 27–30, "On the virtues of the impious" (De virtutibus impiorum); 31–34, 36–38, 42, "On charity" (De caritate); 37, 39–41, 66, "On free will" (De libero arbitrio); 42–43, "On justice" (De iustitia); 44, "On justification" (De iustificatione); 45, "On sacrifice" (De sacrificio); ↩
