Cap. 8. Of the Chorepiscopi there is little that concerneth us, saving that he cometh near to grant us all that we desire, while that §. 15 he saith that Learned men believe that in the Church of one Region, of old there was but one Altar, so that lgnatius rightly conjoineth [Greek or Hebrew] and [Greek or Hebrew]: And all Schismatics were said to set up Altar against Altar. As Cypr. de Unit. Eccle. Ep. 40. 72, 73] This is the sum of all that we plead for. And §. 29. he mentioneth the Chorepiscopis as imitating the 70, when yet he had denied the 70, to have the power of the Keys, which he supposeth the Chorepiscopi to have under the Bishops. Of Clemens words in due place.
