Here is much ado about nought, and a number of bitter words piked out of S. Gregorio Epistles, pretended to be written against the Bishop of Rome, to no purpose. For if we say,* as we may say truly, that he challengeth to him self no such name, then what hath this Defender to say? Let him show us how many Bishops of that see ever took the name of the Universal Bishop upon them, specially as Gregory understandeth it to signify. If he can show none, why blotteth he so much paper with so impudent lies?
