Q. 21. But if the Universal Church be divided into Patriarchates, and chief Seats, those can Govern the whole Church when there is no General Council; even by their Communicatory Letters?
A. 1. And who shall divide the World into those chief Seats, and determine which shall be chief in all the Kingdoms of Infidels, and Christian Kings in the World? And which shall be Chief when they differ ⟨p. 201⟩among themselves? How many Patriarchs shall there be, and where? There were never Twelve Pretenders to succeed the Twelve Apostles: The Roman Empire had three First, and Five after within it self: But that was by Humane institution; and over one Empire; and that's now down; and those Five Seats have many Hundred Years been separated, and condemning one another; so far are they from being One Unifying Aristocracy to Govern all the World: And if they were so, then Europe is Schismatical, that now differs from the Major Vote of those Patriarchs.
