But, touching the Emperor Constantine's place in the Council, Eusebius saith thus:1 Accessit ad summum gradum ordinum: He went up to the highest rising of all the benches. Sozomenus saith: Imperator peruenit ad Caput Concilij: & sedit in Throno quodam, quem ipse sibi fecerat. Erat autem Thronus ille Maximus, & alios omnes superans: The Emperor went up to the head, or highest place of the Council: and sate down in a Throne of estate, that he had prepared for him self. But this Throne was very great, and far passed all the rest. In the mean season, the Popes Legate sate, as it is said before, neither in the First place, nor in the Second, nor in the Third, but in the Fourth. Hereby it seemeth, to appear plainly, that Constantinus the Emperor had his place in the Council above the Bishops.
