1Another man allegeth unto me the authority of the Bishop of Rome / without which / neither can the counsels (saith he) be lawfully gathered / neither being gathered determine any thing concerning religion. But this objection is only grounded upon the ambitious and shameless maintenance of the Romish tyranny / and usurped dominion over the clergy / 2which tyranny we English men / long ago / by the consent of the whole Realm / have expulsed / and abjured. And how rightly we have done it / a little book set furth / de utraque potestate / (that is of booeth the powers) doeth clearly show. I grant that the Romish ambition hath gone about to challenge to it self / and to usurp such a privilege of old time.3 But the council of Carthage / in the year of our Lord / 457. did openly withstand it and also the counsel at Milcuyte: in the which S. Augustin was present / 4did prohibit any appellations to be made to Bishops beyond the sea.
