By these it appeareth, if there were any sutche Councel called to Rome, it was called by the Emperoure, and not by the Pope.
Ye say, the Emperor in such affairs was advised evermore by the Bishops. This is not unlikely, and therefore easily may be granted. Notwithstanding, for ought, that may appear, he was more advised oftentimes by some other Bishops, then by the Pope, as it shall appear. Eusebius, touching the Emperor Constantinus, writeth thus: Quasi Communis quidam Episcopus à Deo constitutus, 1Ministrorum Dei Synodos conuocavit: As if he had been one Common Bishop appointed by God, he appointed Councils of Bishops to assemble together. Ruffinus saith, The Emperor was advised hereto by Alexander, the Bishop of Alexandria, and by other Bishops, and Priests of Egypt. Here is no mention of the Pope. In the like cases of Ecclesiastical Affairs, Athanasius was an earnest suitor unto the Emperor Constantius: Dioscorus, unto Theodosius: and so others, unto other.
