S. Augustine,1 having reckoned up a great number of the Bishops of Rome, by a general Negative saith thus: In hoc ordine Successionis nullus Donatista Episcopus inuenitur: In all this order of Succession of Bishops, there is ⟨p. 580⟩not one Bishop found, 2that was a Donatist. S. Gregory, being him self a Bishop of Rome, and writing against the Title of Universal Bishop, saith thus, Nemo Decessorum meorum hoc tam prophano vocabulo uti consensit: Nullus Romanorum Pontificum hoc singularitatis nomen assumsit:3 None of all my Predecessors ever consented to use this ungodly Title: No Bishop of Rome ever took upon him this name of Singularity.
