Hereby it appeareth, that to the ratifying of the Election of any one Bishop, the consent of all other Bishops within that Province was thought necessary. Which Consent they testified among them selves, by writing letters of conference one to an other. And therefore, when John the Bishop of Constantinople had entitled him self the Universal Bishop,1 Gregory counselled Eulogius the Bishop of Alexandria,2 and other Bishops of the East, neither to write to him, nor to receive letters from him by that title. Likewise the Bishops of the East, when they had Excommunicate Julius the Bishop of Rome,3 gave commandment, that no man should either receive his letters, or write unto him, in token they held him for no Bishop.
