Likewise S. Ambrose saith, Post Alexandrinae Ecclesiae, Episcopi quoque Romanae Ecclesiae Definitionem,¹ per Literas plaerique meam adhuc expectant Sententiam: After y• Resolution of the Church of Alexandria, and also of the Bishop of the Church of Rome, many men yet write Letters unto me, and would also understand my judgement. Pope Liberius him self writeth thus unto Athanasius, the Bishop of Alexandria:² Si mecum sentis, quoeso subscribas: quò certiores reddamur, num eiusdem nobiscum suffragij sis, eademque statuas de Vera Fide: ut & ego securior efficiar, Tuaque mandata indesinenter obeam: If ye be of my Judgement, then I beseech you, to subscribe (your name unto these Articles): that I may be out of doubt, whether you think, as I think, touching the True Faith: and, that I may be the better confirmed in me self, and may evermore do your Commandments without delay.

And on every side, they, that have suites, come running unto me.

Here you sée your Heade of the Churche offereth him selfe with al vis Vniuersal Povver, to be at the Commaundèmente of an other inferioure Bishop. Bernarde, beinge but an Abbate, writeth thus vnto Pope Eugenius: Aiunt, non vos esse Papam,
