Nevertheless a few years after, when the Bishops of Rome were sore afraid, leest that dignity should be given to the bishops of Constantinople, Boniface the .3. obtained of the emperor Phocas a parricide, that he which was bishop of old Rome, might be taken for the universal bishop, and Rome for the head of all churches: which constitution set up the Pope in Authority,1 that he was now, taken of the most part of the west Bishops for Apostolical, and many matters brought before him to determine: whereby he got the favour of many Princes, chiefly of France, by whose aid he drove out of Italy both the Emperor of Greece, and kings of Lombardy, and brought Rome, and the best & most flourishing parts of Italy under his own subjection. Thus I say out of the earth cometh up the second beast.
