Matters of variance between Bishops were taken up, not only by the Bishop of Rome, whose greatest practise these many years hath been to inflame, and maintain discord among Princes, but also sometimes by the Prince, sometimes by Councils, sometimes by other Bishops, sometimes by some inferior persons, that were no Bishops.1 S. Ambrose was sent for into France, to pacify the Bishops there. Bernard being but an Abbot, compounded that great dissension, that was between Pope Innocentius, and Peter in the Church of Rome. Therefore to these purposes, it is nothing needful to erect ⟨p. 260⟩a new Vicar General, or to give any man this Universal power over the Church of God.
