Now, for as much as, it hath pleased M. Harding, for the Conclusion hereof, to touch the Effects of God's will, I trust, it shall not be painful to thee, gentle Reader, likewise shortly to consider the effects, and sequels of this Universal power. It is granted, that the Church of Rome, for sundry causes before alleged, was evermore from the beginning the chief, and most notable above all others. Notwithstanding Aeneas Syluius,1 being him self a Bishop of Rome, saith, Ad Romanos pontifices ante Nicenum Concilium, aliquis sanè, & si non magnus, respectus fuit. Verily there was some respect had to the Bishops of Rome before the Council of Nice, although it were not great. S.

Origen in his time complained, that the Ministers of Christ seemed even then to pass the outrage of worldly Princes.
