Where you say, The whole Council of Chalcedon so esteemed the voice of Pope Leo, as if it had been the voice of Peter him self, this, M. Harding, is a manifest Untruth, as it shall soon appear. I grant, the name of Leo, for his great learning, and gravity was much regarded. So. S. Ambrose for the like cause was called,1 Orbis terrarum oculus, Sacerdotum Archisacerdos, & Fundamentum Fidei: The Eie of the world, the Head Priest of all Priests, and the Foundation of the Faith. So Paphnutius, being no Pope, was heard against all the rest of the Council of Nice: So S. Hierome being neither Pope, nor Bishop, was received against this whole Council of Chalcedon.2

Neither did the Council follow Leo alone, as the Universal Bishop, and Head of the Church, but joined him together with others, as esteeming them of equal Authority.
