will_v reply_v he_o have_v limit_n as_o a_o metropolitan_a but_o not_o as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n grant_v i_o then_o that_o he_o have_v limit_n as_o metropolitan_a and_o then_o prove_v you_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v any_o unlimited_a power_n acknowledge_v as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n will_v they_o ever_o have_v make_v such_o a_o instance_n in_o he_o without_o any_o discrimination_n of_o his_o several_a capacity_n if_o they_o have_v know_v any_o other_o power_n that_o he_o have_v but_o only_o as_o a_o metropolitan_a nay_o may_v not_o the_o bishop_n of_o antioch_n and_o alexandria_n be_v rather_o suppose_v to_o have_v the_o great_a power_n because_o their_o province_n be_v much_o large_a here_o than_o he_o and_o although_o bellarmin_n use_v that_o as_o his_o great_a

be_v give_v of_o it_o for_o as_o the_o praefectus_fw-la augustalis_n have_v all_o the_o province_n of_o egypt_n for_o his_o diocese_n so_o have_v the_o bishop_n of_o alexandria_n and_o as_o the_o

proportion_n the_o power_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v correspond_v to_o the_o diocese_n of_o the_o roman_a lieutenant_n which_o be_v over_o those_o ten_o province_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o his_o jurisdiction_n as_o it_o be_v distinct_a from_o the_o diocese_n of_o italy_n which_o be_v under_o that_o lieutenant_n who_o residence_n be_v at_o milan_n here_o we_o see_v then_o a_o parity_n of_o reason_n in_o all_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o the_o true_a account_n of_o the_o suburbicary_n church_n in_o ruffinus_n his_o exposition_n of_o this_o canon_n be_v that_o which_o we_o have_v now_o set_v down_o viz._n those_o church_n which_o lie_v within_o the_o ten_o province_n subject_a to_o the_o roman_a lieutenant_n but_o of_o they_o more_o afterward_o that_o which_o i_o now_o insist_v on_o be_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v then_o a_o limit_a jurisdiction_n as_o other_o metropolitan_o and_o primat_n have_v nay_o if_o we_o shall_v grant_v that_o the_o title_n produce_v by_o paschasinus_n in_o the_o council_n of_o chalcedon_n to_o this_o canon_n be_v not_o such_o a_o forgery_n as_o that_o of_o zosimus_n yet_o the_o most_o that_o it_o can_v prove_v be_v only_o this_o that_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v always_o the_o primacy_n within_o her_o diocese_n i._n e._n all_o metropolitical_a power_n but_o not_o that_o it_o have_v a_o unlimited_a primacy_n in_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n none_o of_o those_o father_n who_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o four_o council_n do_v ever_o acknowledge_v but_o always_o oppose_v any_o thing_n tend_v to_o it_o as_o appear_v by_o those_o very_a proceed_n of_o paschasinus_n at_o the_o council_n of_o chalcedon_n and_o by_o the_o canon_n of_o that_o council_n and_o of_o the_o council_n of_o constantinople_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a answer_n to_o say_v that_o those_o canon_n be_v not_o allow_v by_o the_o roman_a church_n for_o by_o that_o very_o answer_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o do_v oppose_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n or_o else_o doubtless_o they_o will_v have_v be_v allow_v there_o but_o that_o the_o pope_n metropolitical_a power_n be_v confine_v within_o the_o roman_a diocese_n so_o as_o not_o to_o extend_v to_o the_o italic_a we_o have_v this_o pregnant_a evidence_n that_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o nicene_n canon_n that_o the_o main_a power_n contest_v for_o be_v that_o of_o ordination_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o theodoret_n and_o synesius_n his_o epistle_n alexand._n that_o the_o bishop_n of_o alexandria_n do_v retain_v it_o as_o his_o due_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o canon_n to_o ordain_v the_o bishop_n of_o pentapolis_n as_o well_o as_o egypt_n but_o now_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n
