Now, that the Bishop of Rome had always cure, and rule over all other Bishops, 109.1 specially of them of the East (for touching them of the west Church it is generally confessed) beside a hundred other evident arguments, this is one very sufficient, that he had in the East to do his stead, three Delegates, or Vicars, now commonly they be named Legates. And this for the commodity of the Bishops there, whose Churches were far distant from Rome. The one was the Bishop of Constantinople, as we find it mentioned In Epistola Simplicij ad Achatium Constantinopolitanum. The Second was the Bishop of Alexandria, as the Epistle of Bonifacius the Second to Eulalius recordeth. The third was the Bishop of Thessalonica, as it is at large declared in the 82. Epistle of Leo, ad Anastasium Thessalonicensem. By perusing these Epistles every man may see, that all the Bishops of Greece, Asia, Syria, Egypt, and to be short of all the Orient, rendered and exhibited their humble obedience to the Bishop of Rome, and to his arbitrement referred their doubts, complaints, and causes, and to him only made their appellations.
