But what duty the Bishops of the East parts owed to the Bishops of Rome, whosoever hath read, and considered the story and practise of the times, may soon perceive. First the Council of Nice appointed every of the three Patriarchs to his several charge, none of them to interrupt, or trouble other: and willed the Bishop of Rome, as Rufinus reporteth the story, to oversee Ecclesias Suburbanas, which were the Churches within his Province:1 and therefore Athanasius calleth Rome, the Chief, or Mother City of the Romaine Jurisdiction. And for that cause, the Bishops of the East in their Epistle unto Julius, call him their Fellow Servant: and Cyrillus the Bishop of Alexandria, writing unto Coelestinus, calleth him his Brother. Fellows, and Brothers be titles of Equality, and not of Subjection.
