I think it hereby plainly, and sufficiently proved, first that the Bishop of Rome had no authority to receive appeals from all parts of the world, and that by the Councils of Nice, of Tele, of Milevitum, and of Africa: by S. Cyprian, and by the Emperors Martian, and Justinian. Next, that M. Harding, the better to furnish his matter, hath notoriously falsified Chrysostoms words, three times in one place. Thirdly, that Chrysostoms letter unto Innocentius contained matter of complaint, but no appeal: which thing is also proved by the very words, and tenor of the letter: by the Bishops of Romes own confession: and by the imperfection, and weakness of their doings. For the law saith, Jurisdictio sine modica coerctione nulla est. Jurisdiction without some compulsion is no Jurisdiction.1

For the lawe saith, Iurisdictio sine modica coerctione nulla est. Iurisdiction without some compussion is no Iurisdiction.1

In deed by way of compromise, and agreement of the parties, matters were sometimes brought to be heard, and ended by the Bishop of Rome, as also by other Bishops: but not by any ordinary process, or course of Law. And so it appeareth, this matter between Athanasius, and the Arians was first brought unto Julius: for that the Arians willingly desired him, for trial thereof, to call a Council. For thus Julius him self writeth unto the Bishops of the East, as it is before alleged.
