Phil. This fact of Ireneus proveth no more for the supremacy then mine hath done, for I have been at Rome as well as he, and could have spoken with the Pope and if I would: yet would there were none in England favoured his supremacy more then I: And it is not like that Ireneus, or the primitive church so take him, for I can show 7. general Councils after Ireneus time: wherein he was never so taken in many hundred years after Christ: These be the Councils; the Nicentine, Ephesine, the first, & second: Calcedone, Constantinopolitane, Carthagenense, Avilence.
