Somme of your Friends have said, 1Totus Mundus non potest Deponere, aut Judicare Papam: The whole world cannot Depose, or Judge the Pope. Yet Eutropius saith, Si quando Imperialis Legatus mitteretur à Principe, ut Romanus Pontifex proficisceretur Constantinopolim ad Imperatorem, omni neglecta occasion, ibat: etiamsi pro certo sciret, see iturum in exilium: If the Emperors Ambassador had commanded the Bishop of Rome to appear at Constantinople before the Emperor, he went straight way without excuse: Yea, although he certainly knew, that he should be banished. Here I leave sundry Examples of Emperors, that by their Authority have Deposed, not only other Bishops, but also Popes:2 As the Example of Honorius, that Deposed Pope Bonifacius: Of Theodoricus, that Deposed Pope Symmachus: Of Otho, that Deposed Pope ⟨p. 694⟩John, 12: Of Henry, that Deposed Pope Benedictus. 9. and that, as it is recorded, not by wilful might, or Tyranny, but, Imperiali, & Canonica Censura: By his Imperial, and by the Canonical Censures. Yea, one of your own Friends saith thus: Populus commendabiliter Zelo Fidei commotus, Constantinum Papam, qui erat Ecclesiae in scandalum, privavit oculis, & Deposuit: The people of Rome, moved with the Zeal of Faith, 3took Pope Constantine, and pulled out his eyes, and Deposed him, for that he was slanderous unto the Church: and they deserved great Praise for the same.
