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. 1The name of Universal Bishop, was offered by the Council of Chalcedon to the Bishop of Rome. He saith, they offered to call him so: but that they called him so in deed, he saith not. Therefore M. Harding herein overreacheth, & mistelleth his authors tale. But S. Gregory saith further, That neither Leo, nor any other of his Predecessors Bishops of Rome, 2would ever receive that Arrogant, and Ungodly name, or suffer him self to be so called: not withstanding it were offered by the Council.
Perhaps he wil say, This Canon was burnte by some Heretiques, as he saide before of the Councel of Nice. How be it, it were muche for him to say, That of that whole Councel, onely sixe Lines should be burnte, and that in al the examples throughout the worlde: and yet al the reast of the same Councel remaine safe: Or that the woords, wherby the Pope claimeth his title, should so negligently be lost, and that in Rome it selfe, in the Popes owne Librarie: and yet the woordes that the Pope reprooueth, and condemneth, shoulde stande whole. M. Hardinge hath no other Councel within sixe hundred yéeres after Christe to holde by, but onely this. And yet the same cannot be founde. But S. Gregorie is witnesse sufficient: He saith, that .630. Bishops in the Councel of Chalcedon, named the Bishop of Rome the Vniuersal Bishop. This is an vntrueth to beguile the Reader. For Gregorie saith not, the Bishoppes in that councel Saluted, Intitled, Proclaimed, or Called the Bishop of Rome by that name. Onely he saith, Romano pontifici Vniuersitatis nomen oblatum est.
