And with what credit can M. Harding say, The whole Council of Chalcedon yielded unto Pope Leo, as if it had been unto Peter him self? For it is certain, that the same whole Council decreed against Leo: and likewise Leo against the Council. For the Council decreed, contrary to the old Canons, that the Bishop of Constantinople among the four Patriarchs should be the second in dignity, and that the same Bishop of Constantinople should have and enjoy one authority, and like Privileges with the Bishop of Rome. The words be these, Acqua Sanctisissmae Sedi Novae Romae Privilegia tribuerunt rationabile judicantes, 1urbem eam ornatam jam Imperio, & Senaru, aequis Senioris Regiae Romae Privilegijs frui, & in Ecclesiasticis, sicut illa habet, Maiestatem habere negotijs: The Fathers gave equal Privileges unto the Holy See of New Rome (which was Constantinople) thinking it to be reasonable, that the same City of Constantinople, being now furnished with Empire, and ⟨p. 53⟩Council, 2should enjoy equal Privileges with the Princely City of the old Rome, and in all Ecclesiastical affairs should bear the same Majesty, that Rome beareth. This thing Pope Leo much misliked, and found great fault with the Council, and would in no wise consent unto it. Thus he writeth,3 Quae per occasionem Synodi malè sunt attentata reprehenderam: I reproved those things that were evil attempted by the Council of Chascedon: 4And again, Nullum unquàm potuerunt nostrum obtinere consensum: They were never able to get our consent.
And with what credite can M. Hardinge saie, The whole Councel of Chalcedon yelded vnto Pope Leo, as if it had benne vnto Peter him selfe? For it is certaine, that the same whole Councel decreed against Leo: and likewise Leo against the Councel. For the Councel decreed, contrary to the olde Canons, that the Bishop of Constantinople emonge the foure Patriarches shoulde be the seconde in dignitie, and that the same Bishop of Constantinople should haue and enioie one authoritie, and like Priuileges with the Bishop of Rome. The woordes be these, Acqua Sāctisissmae Sedi Nouae Romae Priuilegia tribuerunt rationabile iudicantes,
