Now, to come to the prosecution of the matter, M. Harding knoweth, that the Bishops of the East understood not this singular Authority, or Prerogative of the Bishop of Rome, and therefore being called, obeyed not the summon, nor had any regard unto his sentence, as it is many ways easy to be seen. Therefore they returned unto Julius this answer:1 Si nostris placitis assentiri volueritis, pacem vobiscum, & Communionem habere volumus. Sin verò aliter egeritis, & eis amplius, quàm nobis assentiri judicaveritis, contraria celebrabimus: & deinceps nec vobiscum congregari, nec vobis obedire, nec vobis, vestrisue favere volumus. If you will agree unto our orders, we will have peace and communion with you. But if you will otherwise do, and rather agree unto our adversaries, then unto us, then will we publish the contrary: and henceforth neither will we •itte in Council with you, nor obey you, nor bear good will either to you, or to any of yours.
