Perhaps M. Harding will say, This name belonged peculiarly, and only to the Bishop of Rome: and therefore Gregory reproved John the Bishop of Constantinople, for that he so presumptuously, and by way of intrusion, claimed the same, as a right, and interest, that was not his. But S. Gregory calleth the same title of Universal Bishop,a Typhum superbiae:b Nomen novum:c Vocabulum Temerarium, Stultum,d Superbum, Pompaticum,e peruersum,f Superstitiosum, Profanū, gScelestum:h Nomen erroris:i Nomen singularitatis:k Nomen vanitatis:l Nomen Hypocriseos:m Nomen Blasphemiae. That is to say, A puff of Arrogance: A new name: a R•she, a Polish, a Proud, a Pompous, a Perverse, a Superstitious, an Ungodly, and a Wicked title: A name of Error: a name of Singularity: a name of Vanity: a name of Hypocrisy: and a name of Blasphemy. And doth M. Harding think, or would he have the world believe, that S. Gregory would ever take these names and titles from John the Bishop of Constantinople, to the intent to lay them upon his own See of Rome? Or is it likely, that M. Harding knoweth S. Gregory's mind, better then ever S. Gregory knew it him self? Verily, S. Gregory not only misliketh these titles in others, but also disclaimeth the same from him self, and from his See of Rome for ever.
