Howe be it, we have not by our Provincial Council removed, or shaken the Authority of any one Ancient General Council, M. Harding. For of all the Ancient Councils, that have been, touching the cases, that lie between us in controversy, ye are not yet able to allege one. We have upon good causes removed your Vanities, & unseemly Follies: & have restored again, so much, as in us late, the Decrees, & Canons of the Ancient Councils. Hincmarus, the Bishop of Rheims, 1saith thus: Cùm duarum, aut trium Provinciarum Praesules in unum conueniunt, si Antiquorum Canonum justitutione muniti, aliquid praedicationis, aut dogmatis instituunt, quod tamen ab Antiquorum Patrum dogmaribus non discrepet, Catholicum est, quod faciunt: & fortasse dici potest, Universale: When the Bishops of two, or three Provinces meet together, if they by the warrant of the Old Councils, appoint any matter of preaching, or Doctrine, so that it disagree not from y• Doctrine of the Ancient Fathers, it is Catholic, that they do, and perhaps may be called Universal.
