Verily, S. Gregory's reason, touching the danger, & Confusion of the Church, weigheth no more against the Bishop of Constantinople, then against the Bishop of Rome. For thus he saith, If he, that is called the Universal Bishop, happen to err, then needs must y• whole Universal Church fall together with him into Error, And therefore if ye had perused the Council of Basil, ye should have found this self same reason alleged there, not against the Bishop of Constantinople, but against the Pride,1 and Arrogance of the Bishop of Rome. The words be these: Alioqui, errante Pontifice, sicut saepè contigit, & contingere potest, to•a ⟨p. 452⟩erraret Ecclesia: 2Otherwise, when so ever the Pope erreth, as he hath often erred, and may err again, the whole Church should err with him. Thus wrote the Bishops, and, by your own Judgement, Catholic Bishops, in the Council of Basil: yet had they not forgotten the Prayer, that Christ made for S. Peter.
