Touching the Deprivation of the two Popes, Syluerius, and Vigilius, ye say, It was done only by Theodora the Empress, and not by the Emperor Justinian: and therein, ye think, ye have taken us in some great advantage. Notwithstanding in your own Pontifical it is written thus, 1Belisarium interrogavit Imperator, quomodò se haberet cum Romanis: vel quomodò in loco Syluerij statuisset Vigilium. Tunc gratias ei egerunt Imperator, & Augusta: The Emperor demanded of his Captain Belisarius, how he had done with the Romans: and how he had deposed Pope Syluerius, and placed Vigilius in his stead. Upon his answer, both the Emperor, and the Empress gave him thanks. Now ye know, 2it is a Rule in Law, Ratihabitio retrotrahitur, & mandato comparatur: The Allowance of a thing done, is as good, as a Commission for the doing.
