Certainly, what good liking S. Bernard had herein, it appeareth hy his words: For thus he writeth to Eugenius the Bishop of Rome. Quousque non evigilat consideratio tua ad tantam Appellationum confusionem? Ambitio in Ecclesia per te regnare molitur: praeter jus, 1& fas, praeter morem, & ordinem fiunt.
