In the time (saith he) of Pelagius my predecessor, Joannes Constantinopolitanus when he had assembled a synod, by an other pretence, claimed unto him self the title of the universal supreme Patriarch, which thing Pelagius toke in evil part, and therefore made the acts of that Synod frustrate. Farther, he commanded his Deacon which was his deputy, whom he had with the Emperor, that he should not communicate with John, being so arrogant and proud. Gregory ⟨image 154⟩succeeded Pelagius and decreed the same things, & writing unto the emperor, saith, Peter the chief among the Apostles, never called himself universal Apostle, and nevertheless John bishop of Constantinople now goeth about to call him self the universal Patriarch: & straightway he crieth out: O times, O manners. And this reason he addeth to these things, if the universal head be so ordained of men, by the ruin or corruption of such a head, the church also shall perish together. Of this place Nestorius was once bishop, who believed most wickedly of the son of god. Macedonius had the same dignity, who believed not that the holy ghost was god. If those Patriarchs had then been universal Bishops in the church, the whole church had fallen also with them.

Farther, he commaunded his Deacon which was his deputye, whome he had with the Emperoure, that he should not communicate with Iohn, being so arrogant and proud. Gregorye ⟨image 154⟩succeded Pelagius and decreed the same things, & writing vnto the emperor, sayth, Peter the chiefe amonge the Apostles, neuer called himselfe vniuersall Apostle, and neuerthelesse Iohn byshop of Constantinople now goeth about to cal him selfe the vniuersall Patriarch: & straightway he crieth out: O times, O maners. And this reason he addeth to these things, if the vniuersal head be so ordeyned of men, by the ruine or corruption of such a head, the church also shall perishe together. Of this place Nestorius was once bishop, who beleued most wickedly of the sonne of god. Macedonius had the same dignitye, who beleued not that the holy ghost was god.
