Certain it is,1 that sundry of the Bishops of Rome, began very rathe, to seek this Preeminence, even with manifest forgery, and corruption of Councils, as is already proved.2 But the Bishops of other countries never yielded unto them, nor understood these vain titles. The Bishops of the East, writing unto Julius, allege that the Faith, that then was in Rome, came first from them,3 and that their Churches, as Sozomenus writeth, ought not to be accounted inferior to the Church of Rome: And as Socrates further reporteth, That they ought not to be ordered by the Romaine Bishop. Gennadius the Bishop of Constantinople, together with the Council there, thus writeth unto the Bishop of Rome, Curet sanctitas tua universas tuas custodias, tibique subiectos Episcopos: 4Let thy Holiness see unto thine own charge, and unto the Bishops appointed unto thee.
