Likewise the Emperors Honorius, and Theodosius have taken Appeals away from the Bishops of Rome, and have commanded the same to be entered before the Bishop, and Synod of Constantinople. The Law is written thus, Omni innovation cessante, 1vetustatem, & Canons pristinos Ecclesiasticos, qui usque tunc tenuerun•, per omnes Illyrici provincias seruari praecipimus: ut si quid dubietatis emerserit, id oportear, non absque sententia viri Reverendissimi Sacrosanctae Legis Antistitis Ecclesiae vibis Constantinopolitanae, quae Romae veteris praerogativa laetatur, Conuentui Sacerdotali, & Sancto judicio reseruari. 2Al innovation set apart, we command, that the old order, and the ancient Ecclesiastical Canons, which hitherto have holden, be kept still through all the Provinces of illyricum: that if any matter of doubt happen to arise, it be put over to be determined by the holy judgement, and assembly of Bishops, not without the discretion of the most Reverend the Bishop of the City of Constantinople, which City now enjoyeth the Prerogative of Old Rome. Here M. Harding may not forget, that the Church of Constantinople had as great prerogative in all respects, of Preeminence, Superiority, and Universality of charge, as ever had the Church of Rome. Wherefore if the Bishop of Rome were Head of the Universal Church, it must needs follow, that the Bishop of Constantinople was likewise Head of the Universal Church.
Likewise the Emperours Honorius, and Theodosius haue taken Appeales away from the Bishoppes of Rome, and haue commaunded the same to be entred before the Bishop, and Synode of Constantinople. The Lawe is written thus, Omni innouatione cessante, 1vetustatem, & Canones pristinos Ecclesiasticos, qui vsque tunc tenuerun•, per omnes Illyrici prouincias seruari praecipimus: vt si quid dubietatis emerserit, id oportear, non absque sententia viri Reuerendissimi Sacrosanctae Legis Antistitis Ecclesiae vibis Constantinopolitanae, quae Romae veteris praerogatiua laetatur, Conuentui Sacerdotali, & Sancto iudicio reseruari. 2
