And this is it, that Gregory saith of John the Bishop of Constantinople: Illum, videlicet, imitatur, qui spreta Angelorum societate, ascendere conatus est ad culmen Singularitatis: 1He followeth Lucifer, 2who despising the fellowship of the Angels, laboured to get up to the top of Singularity, and said, I will mount up above the North, and will be like unto the Highest.

Verily, Dionysius writing purposely of the Policy, and Government of the Church, & comparing the same with the Glorious Government of the Angels and powers in Heaven, yet never uttered one Word of the Universal Government of the Pope. Nay rather in the late Council of Constance, out of this very place is Formed an Argument to the contrary: In Coelesti Hierarchia tota Congregatio Angelorum non habet Caput Unum, 1praeter solum Deum: Ergo, à Simili, in Ecelesiastica Hierarchia Hominū nō debet esse Unum Caput, praeter Solum Deū: In the Heavenly Government the whole Company of the Angels hath none other One Head, but only God: Therefore of the like, in the Ecclesiastical Government amongst Men, there ought not to be any One Head, but only God.
