Also in the 22. Canon of the same Council (and in many other Councils) it is decreed that no Bishop shall come into the City of another Bishop, not subject to him about ordination, and if they there ordain any, it shall be void, and they shall be questioned by a Synod. And Chrysostom hereupon complaineth of Theophilus Patriarch of Alexandria, for ⟨p. 340⟩exercising authority at Constantinople, out of his o•n jurisdiction, contrary to the Canons; as may •e seen in his first Epipse to Pope Innocent. I know they pretend that by that Epistle he yet acknowledged Innocents superiority and jurisdiction: As if a man might not make his moan, or seek all possible relie• from any that are capable of helping them, without respect to superiority or jurisdiction; It was R•mes greatness and interest in the Emperor and others, and not a universal jurisdiction, that made Innocent seem capable of affording some help to *Chrysostom. But thus Baronius the Popes Annalist, where ever he findeth but a letter written to the Bishop of Rome, or his advice or help in any thing desired, doth presently conclude that they acknowledged in the Pope universal regimen, an universal Government. And by the like reason many another should be universal Governor as well as he.
