Thus ambitiously to advance them selves, under pretence of such Appeals,1 oftentimes not understanding the case, as it well appeareth by that is written of Apiarius, and by the story of Flavianus, and Eutyches, they found fault with good Catholic Bishops, and received Heretics into their favour: wherewithal the Bishops in the General Council of Africa, find them selves much grieved.

First therefore I must show, that there lay no such ordinary Appeal from all Countries of the world to the Bishop of Rome, & that therefore the same is by M. Harding untruly avouched. That done, I trust, it shall not be hard to answer these places of Chrysostom, Athanasius, and Theodoretus here alleged. And that there lay not any such Appeal to Rome, it is plain by consent of General Councils, by the authority of Holy Fathers, and by the Laws, and Ordinances of Emperors, and Princes: By which grounds, it is easy to understand the practise, and order of the Church in those days.
