16. And here you tell us of Juvenal, Act. 6. Repl. 1. The Council is not divided into Acts in Binnius, but many Tomes and Chapters: but your words are in the Notes added by your historian; but how to prove them Juvenal's words I know no•, nor find in him or you. 2. But why were not the antecedent words of the Bishop of Antioch and his Clergy as valid to the contrary, as Juvenal's for this? 3. If these words were spoken, they only import a Judging in Council as a chief member of it, and not of himself. And his apostolica ordination is expressly contrary to the forecited Canon of the Council of Chalcedon, and therefore not to be believed. Yet some called things ⟨p. 164⟩done Ordination apostolica, which were ordained by the Seats which were held Apostolic. 4. But still you resolve to forget that Antioch or the Empire extended not to the Antipodes, nor contained all the Catholic Church.
