But what if Christian Princes when they are by the word of God admonished of public and most grievous since, will not hear, neither amend that which they have naughtily committed. What I say shall the bishop do herein? Ambrose excommunicated Theodosius the Emperor, when he exercised so grievous tyranny against the Thessalonians. Innocentius also excommunicated Arcadius, when he had exiled John Chrysostom, who admonished him freely and truly, as it is had in the dist. 96. chap. Duo sunt, & in the dist. 18. in the chap. Quoniam quidam. And they are the words of the sixth Synod, where it is decreed that there should every year be had two Synods. And if princes would hinder them, let them be excommunicated.

1But what do I make mention of these latter things? Let us read Eusebius in his .vi. book, and .xxxiiii. chap. where he saith that Philip the Emperor, who lived in the time of Origene, was the first Christian prince, and when he would have been present together with the faithful on Easter even, and have communicated with them in prayers, the bishop, because he was a wicked and naughty liver, rejected him among them that were put to penance, that he should make open confession before the Church, and acknowledge his sin, otherwise he could by no means be admitted unto the Communion. This did the bishop at that time against the Emperor & chief Monarch of the whole world. Wherefore the civil power ought to be subject unto the word of God which is preached by the Ministers. But again the Ecclesiastical power is subject unto the civil, when the Ministers behave themselves ill, either in things humane or Ecclesiastical. For these powers are after a sort convertible and sundry ways are occupied about the self same things, and mutually help one an other, even as Aristotle Theodectes calleth Rhetoric and Logic interchangeable arts,
