come_v to_o his_o 4._o reason_n thus_o they_o stand_v 1._o because_o at_o that_o time_n the_o ancient_a law_n imperial_a be_v in_o force_n which_o do_v forbid_v all_o assembly_n and_o company_n of_o man_n without_o the_o emperor_n authority_n because_o the_o emperor_n fear_a sedition_n and_o tumult_n may_v have_v arisen_a 2_o if_o that_o law_n have_v not_o be_v in_o force_n yet_o see_v the_o emperor_n govern_v the_o world_n in_o great_a peace_n a_o council_n can_v not_o be_v hold_v but_o in_o some_o imperial_a city_n and_o no_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o a_o assembly_n shall_v be_v make_v to_o one_o city_n out_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n without_o the_o licence_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o that_o place_n he_o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v not_o all_o temporal_a lordship_n deminion_n and_o rule_v as_o now_o they_o claim_v for_o he_o as_o now_o at_o this_o day_n if_o a_o council_n be_v hold_v out_o of_o the_o territory_n of_o the_o pope_n as_o in_o france_n spain_n or_o germany_n without_o doubt_n his_o consent_n must_v be_v ask_v in_o who_o city_n or_o province_n it_o be_v 3._o because_o in_o those_o time_n general_a counsel_n be_v make_v by_o the_o public_a charge_n especial_o touch_v the_o bring_n of_o the_o bishop_n to_o the_o place_n where_o the_o council_n be_v for_o they_o be_v carry_v on_o horse_n or_o in_o city_n wagon_n without_o

out_o of_o theodoret_n 2.16_o eccl._n hist_o 2.16_o where_o in_o the_o conference_n between_o liberius_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o constantius_n the_o emperor_n liberius_n for_o the_o equity_n

although_o at_o that_o time_n the_o pope_n be_v head_n over_o all_o even_o emperor_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n yet_o in_o temporal_a matter_n mind_n the_o pope_n can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o

of_o the_o emperor_n for_o the_o call_n of_o a_o synod_n yet_o because_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o emperor_n his_o temporal_a lord_n he_o do_v beseech_v he_o emperor_n the_o pope_n beseech_v the_o
