For he saith not, All the christian countries beyond the ⟨p. 896⟩seas, &c. but first, All the christian countries are subject to the see of Rome, afterwards addeth, Beyond the sea, but only to augment the dominion of the see of Rome.

And here many words were spent upon the interpretation of the same place of St. Austin.
