Hereby it is clear, that the godly Fathers, and Bishops in old times, misliked much this shifting of matters to Rome, for that they saw it was the hinderance of right, the increase of ambition, & the open breach of the holy Canons.

And therefore the Emperor Justinian, foreseeing the disorders, that hereof ⟨p. 267⟩might grow, to bridle this ambitious outrage, thought it necessary for his sub••••es, to provide a strait Law in this wise to the contrary. Si quis Sanctissimorum Episcoporum eiusdem Synodi dubitationem aliquam adinuicer •habeat, sive pro Ecclesiastico jure, sive pro alijs quibusdam rebus, 1prius Metropolita eorum, cum alijs de sua Synodo Episcopis, causam examiner, & judicet. Quod si utraque pars rata non habuerit ea, quae judicata sunt, tunc beatissimus Pa•riarcha Dioceseos illius inter eos audiat, & illa determinet, quae Ecclesiasticis Canonibus, & Legibus consonant, Nulla parte eius sententiae cō tradicere valente. 2If any of the most holy Bishops, •einge of one Synod, have any matter of doubt, or question among them selves, whether it be for Ecclesiastical right, or any other matters, First let their Metropolitan with other Bishops of the same Synod, examine, and judge the cause. But if both the parties stand not to his, and their judgements, then let the most holy Patriarch of the same Province, hear, and determine their matter according to the Ecclesiastical laws, and Canons. And neither of the parties may withstand his determination. And immediately after, Patriarcha secundum Canones, & Leges Praebeat finem.
