Again, every Bishop may be called the Bishop of the Universal Church, for that it is his duty to care, not only for his own flock, but also for all others of the whole Church of God.1 So saithe Origen, Qui vocatur ad Episcoparum, vocatur ad Seruitutem totius Ecclesiae: Who so is called to a Bishopric, is called to the service of the whole Church. So Chrysostom exhorting the whole people together, saith unto them, Uni•ersae Ecclesiae curam geramus, Let every one of us take the care of the Universal Church. So likewise Pope Eleutherius writeth unto the Bishops of Fraunce, Huius rei gratia Universalis vobis a Christo commissa est Ecclesia, ⟨p. 300⟩ut pro omnibus laboretis, & cunctis opem ferre non negligatis.2 For that cause the whole Universal Church is committed unto you, that you should travail for all, and not be negligent to help all. Thus, many ways the Bishops both of Rome, and of Antioch, and of France, were called the Bishops of the Universal Church. But the Universal Bishop none of them all was ever called. Of John of Constantinople, that first began to usurp that name, Gregory the Bishop of Rome writeth thus, Despectis omnibus,3 solus conatur appellari Episcopus. Despising all other Bishops, he would only be called a Bishop. So likewise saith Pope Pelagius,4 If the chief Patriarch be called Universal, then the rest have lost the name of Patriarchs.
Againe, euery Bishop maye be called the Bishop of the Uniuersal Churche, for that it is his duetie to care, not onely for his owne flocke, but also for al others of the whole Churche of God.1 So saithe Origen, Qui vocatur ad Episcoparum, vocatur ad Seruitutem totius Ecclesiae: Who so is called to a Bishoprike, is called to the seruice of the whole Churche. So Chrysostome exhortinge the whole people togeather, saithe vnto them, Vni•ersae Ecclesiae curam geramus, Let euery one of vs take the care of the Vniersal Churche. So likewise Pope Eleutherius writeth vnto the Bishops of Fraunce, Huius rei gratia Vniuersalis vobis a Christo commissa est Ecclesia,
