In respect of places, they were moved either for their Antiquity: or for their Authority and Civil power: or for the commodity of the situation: or for some other good consideration, and circumstance, to favour them, and to grant them privileges above others. Thus the Emperor Justinian had a special inclination to the City of Constantinople, for that it was now grown in wealth, and puissance, and for the state,1 & nobility thereof called Nova Roma, New Rome: And for that it was, as he saith, Matter pietatis nostrae, & Christianorum Orthodoxae Religionis omnium.

Hierome entitleth his Epistles unto S. Augustine being Bishop of Hippo. Hieronymus beatissimo Papae Augustino. Hierome unto Augustine the most holy Pope. Thus much only by the way.
