Tit. 7. He rebuketh the King for letting none be Bishops but those that he liked, charging him to admit none at Colen or Triers, till the Pope had notice. And before he told Emperors, that they must take no care what kind of Lords the Priests be, but what they say of the Lord; nor to note what Popes be, but what they do for correction of the Churches; For they are by Constantine called Gods, and God must not be judged of men, Tit. 3. c. 3. He questions whether Lotharius was to be called a King, because he was an Adulterer.
§ 29. Tit. 8. c. 1. He decreeth that no Bishops be ordained, but by the election or consent of the Clergy and People.
