say that no decree may be made in the Church without the Popes consente whyche in dede they may very well lay against vs but we shall repaye oure aduersaries with the same measure For neyther the Pope yf wee beleeue the canons of the apostles maye constitute any thyng in the Churche without the aduise of other For so sayth the .xxxiii. Canon of the Apostles The bysshops of euerye nation muste knowe who is chiefe amonge them and count hym in manner as theyr heade neyther maye they doo any newe thynge without his consente lette euery man handell suche matters by hym selfe as appertayn and belonge to his Diocesse and the places vndernethe hym neyther may he that is chiefe amonge theim doo any thynge without the consent of the reste For so shall concorde be mayntayned and god shall be glorified through our Lorde in the holy ghoste If our aduersaries say that the Canons of the Apostles ar not theyrs neither of authoritie sufficiente but Apocriphe we may lay vnto them agayne the authoritie of the fathers in the firste thirde fourthe sixthe and seuenth synode whiche defend the authoritie of the Apostles cannons For the fyrste Synode in the fyfth cannon therof maketh mention of two of the apostles cannons the .xii. and the .xxxii. Also the same Synode in the .xv. canon speaketh of the .xv. canon of the apostles The thirde Synode or Ephesine councell writyng to Theodosius maketh mencion of the .lxxiii. canon of the apostles wherwith the sayd synode was armed agynste Nestorius and condempned hym lyke as the fowerth synode with the same condemned Dioscorus Moreouer the same fourthe synode in the .v. canon thereof wryteth in this wyse worde for woorde of the .xii. xiij .xiiij. and .xv. Canon of the Apostles As for suche bysshoppes as wander from one citie to an other and often chaunge theyr mynistery it seemeth good to this Synode that they shall be in daunger and punysshed by the Canons of the Apostles Furthermore the Decrees of the syxte Synode doo shewe the full number of the apostles canons For so hathe the seconde Decree of the sayde Synode It seemeth to this holy Synode that it were most expedient that the .lxxxv. canons in the Apostles name receaued and allowed by the holye Fathers and delyuered to vs by tradition shoulde also from hencefoorthe remayne fyrme and stedfaste that they maye be wholsome medicines for the sowle and remedyes for dyuers dyseases in the Churche The seuenthe Synode in the fyrste Cannon thereof rehersynge the lawes of the Churche beefore all other mencioneth the Cannons made by the Apostles adioynynge oute of Moises That nothyng ought to be added to theym or taken from theym Shall we therefore condemne as fayned and vnprofytable those Cannons that are so muche commended and approued of so many holye fathers No trewely But lefte this bee the summe and chiefe of all our talke and disputation that so longe as the Pope doth keepe the coneuniente order in tymes paste ordeyned so longe as he holdeth and maynteyneth the veritie celestiall and so longe as he cleaueth and stycketh faste to Christe the hygh and trewe Lorde and head of the churche I gladly permytte hym to be heade of the Churche and chiefe priest and successoure to Peter or yf he lyste to all the Apostles all menne to obeye hym and nothynge touchynge his honour to be diminished But yf he be fallen from the truthe and wyll not retourne vnto it agayne he oughte but to bee reputed as a personne condempned and reprobate These thynges haue I spoken accordynge to my abilitie of the Popes primacye as that whyche I iudge to bee manyfeste and trewe If they be otherwyse I desyre to be better enfourmed For I also praye and syng vnto the Lorde that oute of the Psalme Take not from my mouthe the worde of Truthe FINIS ¶ Imprinted at London by Henry Sutton for Rafe Newbery Authorised accordyng to the Quenes maiesties Iniūctions In the yere of our Lorde a thousande fyue hundred sixty The .xvi. daye of Marche And are to be solde at his shop in Fletestrete a lyttle aboue the Cundite Grego li. 4.
