The First Constantinopolitane Council defined against Macedonius who denyed the Holy Ghost to be God and decreed the Bishop of Constantinople to be chief next to the Bishop of Rome W.T. This Allegation consists of two branches The First is Impertinent the Second Frandulent The Church of England explodes the Macedonian Heresie as much as the Church of Rome as is evident in the Fifth Article of the Church of England As to the second branch of the Allegation it is offered with little Fidelity or at least Advertency The Patriarch of Constantinople was not mentioned in the Nicene Council wherein the priviledge of Rome Alexandria Antioch are solemnly recited Constantinople being then in Eclipse in Umbrage in respect of its succeeding Splendor After it was augmented adorned dignified by the Translation of the Imperial Seat it then obtained as signal an Ecclesiastical as Secular Grandeur It was the design of the First Constantinopolitane Synod to match the See of Constantinople with that of Rome this being allowed a Priority of Place not a Superiority of Office of Authority Constantinople is ranked with Rome not subjected under it It levels truckles not The reason of the Equality of Dignity is exprest in the Council it self because that Constantinople is New Rome enjoying the same Ensigns Rights Honours as Sozomen clearly testifies The Epistle of the First Constantinopolitane Council is directed to the Reverend Brethren and Colleagues Damasus Aurelius c.

It defined that Peter was the Head and Prince of the Apostles and that the Power of Loosing and binding Sins was given by our Lord to St. Peter who in his Successors Lives and Exercises Judgment to this very Time and Always Act. 3. W.T. Here is produced a double Testimony out of the first Ephesine Council The one a Condemnation of the Nestorian Heresie the other a Certificate of the Supremacy of St. Peter and his pretended Successors The first is not Controverted between the Romanists and the Reformed The second is but a Shadow at the best but a varnish of a Proof as it is destitute of substance and solidity so of Truth and Candour The Ephesine Council decreed no such flaunting Title no Principality of St. Peter nor Entail to his Successors but it was insolently uttered by one of the Three Legates of Celestine the Bishop of Rome by Philip a Candidate for Promotion a Parasite of the Court of Rome Neither Arcadicus nor Projectus the other Legates more circumspect dignifyed offered any such expression Not any of the Fathers in that Council Their Epistle to Celestinus Bishop of Rome is directed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to their fellow Minister Not only the Fathers then assembled in General but in Special Juvenalis Bishop of Jerusalem a part so recites him The Decree of the Council against Nestorius by the Prelates Convened as it is recorded by Evagrius mentions Celestinus a Colleague The Epistle of Celestinus himself to Nestorius expresses Cyrill his Brother and fellow-Bishop This was not a Courtesie a Complement of his Condescension like the smooth insinuation of the Roman Generals in the Camp Commilitones Fellow-Souldiers many of the Fathers rank them with equal respect in their distinct suffrages recounted in that Council It was their Universal Unanimous Acclamation One Celestine one Cyrill one Faith of the Synod one Faith of the World Nay Theodosius the Emperour who Summoned Authorized Establisht that Council having occasion to mention both these Prelates first nominates Cyrill afterwards Celestinus the former set out with the flourish of an Epithet The Most Holy Bishop of Alexandria the other without it If H. T. hath not consulted with the Records of the first Ephesine Council he is precipitate in his Allegation No Man passeth a right judgment upon that whereof he is ignorant saith Aristotle If he hath consulted with that Council he is disingenuous in misrepresenting it Since H. T. produceth the first Ephesine Council as an Oracle in a Subject that will not consist with its Test.
