By these it may appear, M. Harding, it was great folly for you, thus to ca•••l at the name. For the Power, and Jurisdiction, then claimed by the Bishop of Constantinople, and afterward usurped by the Bishops of Rome▪ was all one. Therefore S. Gregory saith to John the Bishop of Constantinople,1 Tu quid Christo, Universalis Ecclesiae Capiti, in Extremi Judicij dicturus es examine, qui Cuncta cius membra tibimet conaris Universalis appellation supponere? What answer wilt thou make, at the trial of the Last Judgement, unto Christ the Head of the Universal Church, which thus by the name of Universal Bishop, seekest to make all his Members subject unto thee? Even the self same Universal power claimeth now the Bishop of Rome: and seeketh to make all other Bishops through the world, and the whole Universal Church of Christ, thrall and subject unto him.
