But hereto some will reply: The Emperor in deed called Councils at that time, ye speak of, because the Bishop of Rome was not yet grown so great, as he is now: but yet the Emperor did not then sit together with the Bishops in Council, or once bare any stroke with his Authority in their consultations. I answer, nay, that it is not so. For, as witnesseth Theodorete, the Emperor Constantine, sate not only together with them in the council at Nice, but gave also advise to the Bishops, how it was best to try out the matter by the Apostles, and Prophets writings, as appeareth by these his own words. In disputation (saith he) of matters of Divinity, we have set before us to follow, the Doctrine of the Holy Ghost. For the Evangelists, and the Apostles works, and the Prophets sayings show us sufficiently, what opinion we ought to have of the vvil of God.
