1Ignatius writing to the Romans calleth them only the Church [[Greek or Hebrew]] [Quae & praesidet in loco regionis Romanorum] or as Bishop Ushers ancient Version hath it [Quae & praesidet in loco chori Romanorum] which is not a presidency over the whole Church. And towards the end, he saith [[Greek or Hebrew]] i.e. [Memores estote in precibus vestris Ecclesiae quae est in Syria, quae prome, jam Christo Pastore utitur.] as Hier. Vairlenius Sylvius interpreteth it in his Edit. pag. 69. I know that the old vulgar Latin Edition, which is in Joachimus Perionius his Edition, pag 494. and in Bishop Ushers pag. 89. translateth it Mementote in orationibus ⟨p. 335⟩vesiris illius qui pro me recturus est ecelesiam quae est in Syria] as if it were his successor that he would have them pray for: But as Vairlenius, so Vedelius also better translateth it [Ecclesiae quae est in Syria, quae pro me jam Domino pastore utitur.] (Edit. Vedel. pag. 250.) And Bishop Ushers old Latin Translation, is [Ecclesiae quae pro me pastore Dei utitur.] And the next words are [[Greek or Hebrew]] i. e. [& solus •am visitahit & sit vestra in eo dilectio] as the vulgar Latin Version, or Solus ipsam curabit visitabitque] As Vairlenius and Vedelius: or rather as Bishop Ushers old Latin version [Solus ipse (Jesus Christus) vice Episcopi sit] From whence I gather that the Bishop of Rome was not the Bishop universal of that Syrian Church, or else Ignatius 1. Would have sure commended it to his care. 2. Or at least not have expressly said that Christ only was their Bishop when he was gone.
