The Bishops of the East part of the world, being Arians, writing unto Julius the Bishop of Rome,1 took it grievously, that he would presume to over rule them: and showed him, It was not lawful for him, by any sleight, or colour of appeal, to undo that thing, that they had done.

S. Cyprian 1finding fault with such running to Rome, and defeating of Justice, writeth unto Cornelius the Bishop there in this sorte: Cum aequum justumque sit, ut uniuscuiusque causa illic audiatur, ubi crimen est admissum, & singulis pastoribus portio gregis sit adscripta, quam regat unusquisque, & gubernet, rationem sui actus Domino redditurus, oporte• utique cos, quibus praesumus, non circumcursare, nec Episcoporū concordiam cohaerentem sua subdola & fallacy temeritate collidere: sed agere illic causam suam, ubi & accusatores habere, & testes sui criminis possint: nisi paucis desperatis, & perditis, minor videtur esse authoritas Episcoporum in Aphrica constitutorum, qui jam de illis judicaverunt &c. Seeing, it is meet, and right, that every mans cause be heard there, where the fault was committed, and seeing, that every Bishop hath a portion of the flock allotted unto him, which he must rule, and govern, and yield account unto the Lord for the same, therefore it is not meet, that they, whom we are appointed to oversee, do thus run about (with their appeals) and so with their subtle, and deceitful rashness, break that concord and consent of Bishops. But there ought they to plead their cause, where they may have both accusers, and witnesses of the fault.
