But if any difficulty should arise in regard of receiving those (decrees), or should any things occur, which it does not believe, which require explanation or definition, the holy synod trusts that, besides the other remedies appointed in this council, the most blessed Roman Pontiff will take care that, for the glory of God and the tranquillity of the Church, provision be made for the necessities of the provinces, either by summoning, particularly out of those provinces where the difficulty shall have arisen, those whom he shall deem it expedient, in treating of the said matters; or even by the celebration of a general council, if he shall judge it necessary; or in such other way as shall seem to him most convenient.
ON RECITING IN SESSION, THE DECREES OF THE COUNCIL UNDER PAUL III. AND JULIUS III.
Insomuch as, at divers times, as well under Paul III. as under Julius III., of happy memoir, many things have, in this sacred council, been ordained and defined touching dogmas and reformation of manners, the holy synod wills that they now be recited and read.
They were recited.
ON THE CLOSE OF THE COUNCIL, AND ON SUING FOB CONFIRMATION FROM OUR HOST HOLY LORD.
Most illustrious lords and most reverend fathers, doth it please you that, to the praise of Almighty God, an end be put to this sacred œcumenical synod? and that the confirmation of all and each of the things which have therein been decreed and defined, as well under the Roman pontiffs Paul III. and Julius III., of happy memory, as under our most holy lord Pius IV., be asked, in the name of this holy synod, by the presidents, and the legates of the Apostolic See, from the most blessed Roman pontiff?
They answered: It pleaseth us.
Afterwards, the most illustrious and most reverend Cardinal Morone, the first legate and president, blessing the holy synods said: After having given thanks to God, most reverend fathers, go in peace.
Who answered: Amen.
