But, as S. Ambrose saith, The Emperor hath no Power over God's causes, so may we likewise, and as truly say, The Pope hath no Power over God's causes. S. Chrysostom saithe, Siquidem est in Causa Fidei, fuge illum, & evita:1 non solùm si homo fuerit, verùm etiam si Angelus de Coelo descenderit: If it be a Matter of Faith, (wherein he seeketh to abuse thee) flee him, and shun him: not only, if he be a man, but also if an Angel should come down from Heaven. Thus it appeareth, S. Ambrose refused not the Emperors Power, and Authority of Judgement in Cases Ecclesiastical, but only his wilful Ignorance, & his Tyranny: For that he knew, 2his Judgement was corrupted, and not indifferent.
