In these places M. Harding cannot deny, but these words Universa fraternitas, Omnis fraternitas, and Universitatis consensus, must needs be taken for one whole particular Brotherhood within one Province, or Diocese. In the same sense Origen saithe,1 Qui vocatur ad Episcopatum, vocatur ad seruitutem Totius Ecclesiae. He that is called unto a Bishopric,2 is called unto the service of the Whole Church. Likewise again he saith: Plus à me exigitur, quàm à Diacono: plus à Diacono, quàm à Laico: Qui verò Totius Ecclesiae arcem obtiner, pro Omni Ecclesia reddet rationem. There is more required of me (being a Priest) then of a Deacon: more of a Deacon, then of one of the people: But he, that keepeth the watch, or Castle of the whole Church (which is every Bishop in his Diocese) shall yield a reckoning for the whole.
