XXVII Martian•, Charles the great, and other Christian Princes, when there was any change to be made of Ecclesiastical rites, did not by their own authority imperiously enjoin the change, but convocate Synods for deliberating upon the matter, as rBalduine noteth. The great Council of Nice was assembled by Constantine, not only because of the Arian heresy, but also (as sSocrates witnesseth) because of the difference about the keeping of Easter.
