Neither do the Bishop of Romes own words import any appeal, but rather the contrary: for he useth not his familiar words of bidding, or commanding, but only in gentle, and friendly manner exhorteth them to appear: and that not before him self, but only before the Council of sundry Bishops summoned specially for that purpose. For thus Julius writeth unto the Bishops of the East: 1Quae est causa offensionis? An quia adhortati vos sumus, ut ad Synodum occurreretis? What is the cause of your displeasure? Is it because we exhorted you to come ⟨p. 270⟩to the Council? Here he exhorteth, and entreateth them: he commandeth them not: he calleth them to come, not before him self, but before the Council. Again he saith, Legati vestri Macarius Presbyter, & Hesychius Diaconus, 2Concilium indici postulaverunt: Your own ambassadors Macarius being a Priest, and Hesychius being a Deacon, required that a Council might be summoned.

Send some worthy men of your Churches (not unto the Bishop of Rome, but) unto the Bishops of the West, that may let them understand, with what miseries we are beset. Likewise again he saith, Visum mihi est consentaneum, 5ut scribatur Episcopo Romae, ut ea, quae hic geruntur, consideret, detque Concilium: I think it good, ye write to the Bishop of Rome, that he may consider that is here done, and may appoint us a Council.
Neither doo the Bishop of Romes owne woordes importe any appeale, but rather the contrary: for he vseth not his familiar woordes of biddinge, or commaundinge, but onely in gentle, and frendely manner exhorteth them to appeare: and that not before him selfe, but onely before the Councel of sundrie Bishoppes summoned specially for that purpose. For thus Iulius writeth vnto the Bishops of the East:
