It is true, that as well S. Augustine, as also other Godly Fathers, rightly, and well, in old times yielded great reverence to the See of Rome, both for the Antiquity of the Church: and for the honour and memory of S Peter: and for the constancy of the Holy Martyrs, that there had suffered: and also for the purity of Religion, which was preserved there a long time without spot, and might be a standard unto others. But the greatest increase of outward estimation in the world unto that See,1 was the Imperial Seat, and Presence of the Prince, as notably appeareth by the first Council of Constantinople.2 For these causes S. Augustine saith, The See of Rome had the highest place, and chief preeminence above others.
