This packing of places therefore between Coelestinus, and Cyrillus, was a Mystery, purposely canvassed, to keep the Bishop of Constantinople, whom the Pope evermore envied, out of countenance. For by this Policy, the Bishop of Alexandria, that should have had the Third Place, was handsomely shifted into the First: and the Bishop of Constantinople, which, in the Bishop of Romes absence, should have had the First Place, was removed down to the Second.
This packinge of places therefore bitwéene Coelestinus, and Cyrillus, was a Mysterie, pourposely canuessed, to kéepe the Bishop of Constantinople, whom the Pope euermore enuied, out of countenaunce. For by this Policie, the Bishop of Alexandria, that shoulde haue had the Thirde Place, was handsomely shifted into the Firste: and the Bishop of Constantinople, whiche, in the Bishop of Romes absence, shoulde haue had the Firste Place, was remoued downe to the Seconde.
Howe be it, what availeth all this, M. Harding, to further your purpose, & to prove, that Councils were summoned by the Pope? Verily it appeareth not hitherto, that either Coelestinus, or Cyrillus, or any other Bishop had any such Power, or Authority to summon Councils. This is it, that ye should have proved. As for the First, or Second Place, we moved no question.
Howe be it, what auaileth al this, M. Hardinge, to further your pourpose, & to proue, that Councelles were summoned by the Pope? Verily it appeareth not hitherto, that either Coelestinus, or Cyrillus, or any other Bishop had any sutche Power, or Authoritie to summone Councelles. This is it, that yée shoulde haue proued. As for the Firste, or Seconde Place, wée moued no question.
Again, ye seem to say, the Pope of right was evermore President in all Councils. This, if ye know it, is an other Untruth: If ye know it not, it is an error.
