But M. Harding will say,1 Of what credit so ever this Council ought to be, it gave Leo the name of Universal Bishop. And what if all this be utterly untrue? What if there were no such title either given, or offered in the Council? Certainly, the whole Council of Chalcedon is extant abroad, both written, and printed, & may soon be seen. ⟨p. 297⟩why doth not M. Harding allege, either the place, or the Canon, or the words? At the least, why giveth he no note in the Margin, where this authority may be found?

Perhaps he will say, This Canon was burnt by some Heretics, as he said before of the Council of Nice. How be it, it were much for him to say, That of that whole Council, only six Lines should be burnt, and that in all the examples throughout the world: and yet all the rest of the same Council remain safe: Or that the words, whereby the Pope claimeth his title, should so negligently be lost, and that in Rome it self, in the Popes own Library: and yet the words that the Pope reproveth, and condemneth, should stand whole. M. Harding hath no other Council within six hundred years after Christ to hold by, but only this. And yet the same cannot be found. But S. Gregory is witness sufficient: He saith, that .630. Bishops in the Council of Chalcedon, named the Bishop of Rome the Universal Bishop. This is an untruth to beguile the Reader. For Gregory saith not, the Bishops in that council Saluted, Entitled, Proclaimed, or Called the Bishop of Rome by that name. Only he saith, Romano pontifici Universitatis nomen oblatum est.
