The learned Lady Anna Daughter unto the Emperor Alexius, and Irene, in her Story, that she wrote in Greek, among many other things to like purpose, writeth thus: Papa est Dominus totius Mundi, quemadmodum Latini quidem putant, & praedicant: Est enim etiam haec pars quaedam illorum insolentiae. The Pope is the Lord of all the world, as the Latins think, and speak of him. For this is a piece of their Ambition.
The learned Lady Anna Daughter vnto the Emperoure Alexius, and Irene, in her Storie, that she wrote in Greeke, emonge many other thinges to like pourpose, writeth thus: Papa est Dominus totius Mundi, quemadmodum Latini quidem putant, & praedicant: Est enim etiam haec pars quaedam illorum insolentiae. The Pope is the Lorde of al the worlde, as the Latines thinke, and speake of him. For this is a peece of theire Ambition.
This hath been the late wanton Claim of the Popes Canonists.1 Otherwise the Ancient Learned Fathers have evermore bounded, and limited the Pope within his own particular Jurisdiction. Ruffinus saith, the Fathers in the Council of Nice,2 appointed the Pope to oversee the Churches of his own Suburbs: Ut Romanus Episcopus Suburbicarum Ecclesiarum sollicitudinem gerat. Athanasius saith, Roma est Metropolis Romanae ditionis: Rome is the Mother Church (not of all the universal world, but) of the Romaine (particular) Jurisdiction. The Bishops in the Council of Rome write thus to the Bishops of Illyricum, Par est, omnes qui sunt in Orbe Romano, Episcopos conuenire: It is convenient, that all the Bishops, that be within the Jurisdiction of Rome, should accord together. S Hierome speaking of the usage, and order of the Church of Rome, ⟨p. 531⟩saithe thus, 3Quid mihi profeis Unius Urbis Consuetudinem? What allegest thou me the Custom of one City? So much he abridgeth the Popes Jurisdiction, that he extendeth it, not unto the Lists, & ends of all the world, but restraineth it only to the limits of one City.
