So saith Tertullian,1 Videamus, quod lac à Paulo Corinthij hauserint: ad quam Regulam Galathae sint recocti: quid legant Philippenses, Thessalonicenses, Ephesij: quid etiam Romani de proximo sonent: quibus Evangelium Petrus, & Paulus sanguine quoque suo signatum reliquerunt: Let us see, what milk the Corinthians sucked of S. Paul: after what Pattern the Galatians were reformed: what the Philippians read, what the Thessalonians, what the Ephesians: what sound the Romans give, that are so near us: unto whom Peter, and Paul have left the Gospel sealed, and confirmed with their Blood. In like sort writeth Gregory Nazianzene of the Church of Caesarea:2 Cuiuslibet Ecclesiae, tanquam Corporis Christi, habenda est ratio: maximè verò nostrae (Caesariensis) quae & ab initio fuit, & nunc est, Mater propè omnium Ecclesiarum: Eam Christiana Respublica, velut Centrum suum Circulus, undique obseruat, non solùm propter Orthodoxam Doctrinam ubique ab initio praedicatam, sed etiam propter conspicuam Concordiae Gratiam, quam divinitùs accepit: We must make great account of all Churches, even as of the Body of Christ: but specially of this our Church of Caesarea: for that it hath been from the beginning, and still is in a manner the Mother of all Churches. The whole Christian Common Weal beholdeth this Church of every side, even as the Circle beholdeth the Centre: not only for the Catholic Doctrine, that from thence hath been published everywhere, but also for the notable Grace of Concorde, that it hath received from above.
