To quali••e the matter, ye sate, the Emperor did these things, although not by the Popes warrant, yet, at th• least, by the Popes Consent, and never otherwise. Here likewise is an other Untruth. For the Emperor commanded Councils, both when he would, and whither he would, whether the Pope would, or no, many times without any manner of regard had to his pleasure. Pope Leo wrote thus unto the Emperoure Theodosius, Omnes nostrae Ecclesiae, 1Omnes Mansue•udini Vestrae cum gemitibus, & Lachrymis supplicant Sacerd••es, ut Generalem Synodum jubeatis intra Italiam celebrari: Al our Churches, and all our Priests most humbly beseech your Majesty with sobs, and tears, that ye will command a General Council to be holden within Italy. In like sort he caused the Clergy of Constantinople, to be suitors unto his Majesty for the same: yet nevertheless the Emperor continued still in his purpose: and, contrary to the Popes humble petition, kept the Council, not in Italy, but at Chalcedon: where also, as it is said before, Pope Leo him self was summoned to appear by the Emperors Commandment, with other Bishops.
