It grieveth us, 1to see S. Gregory's words, by S. Gregory's Successors, so proudly broken. For thus he wrote, wellnigh a thousand years sithence, unto the Emperor Mauritius, against John the Bishop of Constantinople, claiming then the same Universal Authority, that is now usurped by the Pope:2 Ille coercendes est, qui Sanctae Universali Ecclesiae iniuriam facit: qui corde tumet: qui gaudere de Nomine Singularitatis appetit: qui Honori quoque Imperij vestri see per privatum vocabulum superponit: Your Majesty must repress him, that do the this wrong unto the Holy Universal Church: that swelleth in heart: that desireth to enjoy a Name of Singularity: that also, by a private Title, (calling him self the Universal Bishop) placeth him self over and above the Honour of your Empire.
It gréeueth vs, 1to sée S. Gregories woordes, by S. Gregories Successours, so proudely broken. For thus he wrote, welneare a thousande yéeres sithence, vnto the Emperoure Mauritius, againste Iohn the Bishop of Constantinople, claiminge then the same Vniuersal Authoritie, that is nowe vsurped by the Pope:2 Ille coercendes est, qui Sanctae Vniuersali Ecclesiae iniuriam facit: qui corde tumet: qui gaudere de Nomine Singularitatis appetit: qui Honori quoque Imperij vestri se per priuatum vocabulum superponit: Your Maiestie muste represse him, that do the this wronge vnto the Holy Vniuersal Churche: that swelleth in harte: that desireth to enioie a Name of Singularitie: that also, by a priuate Title, (callinge him selfe the Vniuersal Bishop) placeth him selfe ouer and aboue the Honoure of your Empiere.
