Ephesin Append. 1. cap 4. In the Council of Chalcedon Act. 18. the Legats of Leo the first contradicted the Priviledges of the Constantinopolitan Patriarch but because they were according to the Canon of the fifty Holy Fathers assembled at Constantinople Leo 1. withstanding it was Synodically defined for the Patriarch of Constantinople These out of the Acts of the four general Councils which a Can. sicut Dist 16. Gregory receives as the four Books of the Holy Evangel yea as Cardinal Deus-dedit i. e.

Ephesine Council expresly orders that every single Church of the Provinces should have its rights preserved Hence arise the Appeals ab abusu and exceptions against the new Oecumenical commands So the Gallick Bishops under Ludovicus Pius except formally in these words against certain new Laws That they will obey them unless the Authority of the ancient Canons order otherwise And g Tract de Libert Eccles Leschasserius hath another honest note concerning the Gallick Nation That it was the usual manner of the Gallick Church to profess That shee acknowledged not the Pope of Rome but legitimately and canonically Which is the restriction of the Universal Church as hee there learnedly proveth Hence the African Fathers in a h Cap. 105.

Anno 818. N. 48. Baronius For he passed by with a deaf ear the Pope excommunicating him unless within thirty daies he recalled his Priests out of Bulgaria And Baronius doth not think Ignatius excommunicate for that command not fulfilled because hee defended the right of his Church as hee was bound by oath on the hazard of life eternal Therefore of greater authority is a Canon granting priviledge to the Church of Constantinople than a command of the Pope even Baronius being Judge See the very learned Collections of Vigorius Comment in Reipub.

Act. 25. Paul and f Chrys in 13. Rom. Chrysostom And the Gloss also maintains That Clerks and Monks are subjected to the commands of secular Princes and to be governed by their Laws so far as they pertain to the common society of living in a Kingdome that most of all cherisheth peace and tranquillity which cannot but oblige Clerks so that necessarily they ought to obey them their Clericate notwithstanding And by what right hee saith that concerning the Ecclesiastick and spiritual personages of Clerks hee ought to aver the same concerning their corporeal actions yea their sacred and spiritual And this Doctrine as at large is proved in the said Apology both Chrysostome and the Gloss assert in the cited places Beside the reasons which are brought by a L. 5. De Rom. Pontif.
