There was a certain Archbishop, elected to a Bishopric among the Grecians: who coming to Rome to be confirmed, could not be admitted without a great sum of money: which when he refused to pay, and detested the execrable simony of the Court of Rome, he made his repair home again to his country, unconfirmed: declaring to the whole nobility of that land, how the case stood. Whereupon all the Church of the Grecians hearing this, at the same time departed utterly from the Church of Rome. Insomuch that the Archbish. of Constantinople coming afterward ⟨p. 213⟩to the Council of Lions, declared there openly, that, whereas he had before time above thirty Bishoprics, and Suffragans, now he had not three. Adding moreover, that all the Grecians, and certain other, with Antioch, & the whole Empire of Romania, even to the gates (almost) of Constantinople, were gone from the obedience of the church of Rome.
