But (saith M. Harding) the Bishop of Rome allowed General Councils. This is not denied. So did others, not only Patriarchs, or Bishops, but also Civil Princes. In the Council of Chalcedon it is written thus,1 Divae memoriae Theodosius confirmavit omnia, quae judicata sunta Sancta, & Universali Synodo Generali Lege. Theodosius the Emperor of godly memory, hath confirmed all things by a General Law, that were determined in the Universal Council. 2So likewise the Emperor Martianus, Sacro nostrae Serenitatis edicto, venerandam Synodum confirmamus. By the holy Edict of our Majesty we confirm that reverend Council. So Eusebius witnesseth, that the Emperor Constantinus confirmed the Determinations of the Council of Nice.3 So the Bishops in the Council of Constantinople wrote unto the Emperor Theodosius by these words,4 Rogamus tuam clementiam, ut per literas tuae Pietatis ratū esse •ubeas, confirmefque Concilij Decretum. We desire your favour, by your Highness letters to ratify, and Confirm the Decree of the Council.
