Iev falsifieth Gratians meaning is a worse falsehed then the former Gratian vseth to kepe a certaine order and methode in othet places of his booke as he doth in this special place Distin 99. whereof M. Iewel now would faine take aduantage In that Distinction he treateth of Patriarkes saying in the first parte that Archebishoppes must obey Patriarkes In the second that Archebishoppes must not be called ordinarily Primates In the third that the Pope him selfe is not to be called Vniuersal And so doth the Glose diuide this Distinction Glosa in distin 99. beginning thus Haec Distinctio diuiditur in tres partes in quarum prima dicitur quòd vbi erant Primates Gentium olim ibi sunt modò Primates id est Patriarchae qui idem habent officium licet nomina sint diuersa Secunda ibi nulli Archiepiscopi Tertia ibi Vniuersalis This Distinction is diuided into three partes in the firste of whiche it is said that where the Primates of the Heathens were in olde time there are nowe the Primates that is to saie Patriarches who haue the same office that Primates haue although the names be diuers The second parte of this Distinction beginneth at the wordes Nulli Archiepiscopi The third parte beginneth at the worde Vniuersalis This being so it wil folow that Gratian meant to place the Canon of the Councel of Carthage in the second part of his 99. Distinction And so the mater of the vniuersal Bishop is not referred by Gratian to the Councel of Carthage He neuer meant any such thing Neither was there any cause in deede why he should so haue meant The true discussiō of Gratians vvordes in the 99. distinction But it is referred to the third parte of the distinction which foloweth afterward For it is Gratians custom for the connexion of his maters one after an other to put in his own wordes many times wherby to signifie vnto his reader what foloweth These wordes then vniuersalis autem nec etiam Romanus Pontifex appelletur Vnde Pelagius secundus omnibus Episcopis These wordes I saie be Gratians owne wordes whiche are this muche in English Not so much as the Bishop of Rome him selfe maie be called Vniuersal Bishop wherevpon Pelagius the Second writeh to al Bishops If now M. Iewel be so blinde a Lawier as to saie that the wordes Vniuersalis Episcopus c. do apperteine to the former Decree of the Carthage Coūcel and be a peece thereof he maie saie also that these wordes Vnde Pelagius Episcopus c. be wordes of the Carthage Councel For they are no lesse in the same Chapter as it maie seeme But verely a meane wise man might haue seene the difference of these maters And yet M.

And in the Glose thereupon it is noted thus In hac distinctione dicitur quòd Papa non debet dici Vniuersalis In this distinction it is said that the Pope ought not to be called the Vniuersal Bishop Harding O impudent Gloser Are you not ashamed to shew your peeuish falshed after this sorte Why leafte you out the beginning of the sentēce Why haue you placed and counterfeited the wordes otherwise then thei are in the glose There they are thus written Vniuersalis M. Ievv fovvly falsifieth the Glose vpon Gratian. haec est tertia pars Distinctionis in qua dicitur quòd Papa non debet vocari Vniuersalis This word Vniuersal is the first worde whereat the third parte of the distinction beginneth in whiche third parte it is said that the Pope ought not to be called Vniuersal It is the third parte saith the glose whiche is to saie it is not the second part wherein the Decree of the Councel of Carthage was rehersed it is the third part For as the first part spake of Primates the second of Archebishoppes so the third speaketh of the Pope The Decree of Carthage belongeth to the mater of Archebishoppes and therefore it standeth in the second part Where are now these vaine bragges so ofte doubled by M. Iewel that these wordes Let not the Pope be called the Vniuersal Bishop are the woordes of the Councel of Carthage as Gratian allegeth Pag. 118. They are not the wordes of that Councel neither doth Gratian so allege them nor doth the Glose so take them and consequetly you are like your selfe I neede not tel what Some man perhaps wil saie at the lest they are Gratians wordes and then he holdeth that the Pope ought not to be called the Vniuersal Bishop Concerning that obiection I answer that Gratian doth no more but ioine together diuers decrees and his wordes depende vpon those that folow For he referreth him selfe to the Decrees whiche he there immediatly after reciteth These Decrees are the one of Pope Pelagius the second the other of Pope Gregorie the first whiche both refused the name of Vniuersal Bisshop as also al their successours haue donne But neither of them both refused that sense and meaning of the name wherein the fourh Councel offered that name vnto Pope Leo In vvhat sense the fourthe Coūcel of fred vnto Pope Leo the title of vniuersal Bishop vvhiche the catholiques defende Greg. li. 7 Epis 64. and that sense we only defend To witte that the See of Rome is Head of al Churches and maie correcte or supplie the want of any Church whatsoeuer by sending a Bisshop to it where none is or by deposing him that is vnwotthy of that roume For hereof the same S. Gregorie who refused to be called Vniuersal writeth thus Quod se dicit Primas Bizancenus sedi Apostolicae subijci si quae culpa in Episcopis inuenitur nescio quis ei Episcopus subiectus non sit Cùm verò culpa non exigit omnes secundùm rationem humilitatis aequales sunt Whereas the primate of Constantinople saith he is vnder the Apostolike See A saying of S. Gregorie to be noted touching this whole controuersie if any faulte be founde in the Bishops I know not what Bishop is not subiect hereunto But when no faulte requireth so al are equal according as humilitie would it should be Concerning the Supremacie of the Bishoppe of Rome I thinke it not conuenient to stande here any longer about it seing al the Articles therof are sufficiently by me handled already both in my Answer to the Chalenge and also in the Confutatiō of th'Apologie M. Dorman also hath answered to the Obiection out of the sixth Coūcel of Carthage and M.

Iewel by no shifte is hable to excuse What he bringeth in his Replie out of the Abbridgement of the Councel of Hippo made in the third Councel of Carthage is to no purpose For though the Abbridgement saie that praeter Scripturas alia non legantur other thinges be not readde in the Churche beside the Scriptures yet how that is to be vnderstanded it is supplied by the Decree of the third Coūcel of Carthage by those wordes sub nomine diuinarum scripturarum So that M.

Gregor Lib. 7. Epist 64. For he confesseth euery Bishop to be his equal so long as he sinneth not or as longe as his Church suffereth not some defecte And in that case he supplieth al negligences and al defectes and prouideth for al Churches in Asia in Europa and in Aphrica as his Epistles doo fully declare The whiche if I were disposed here ambitiously to blase as M. Iewelles custome is I might write out the effecte of twelue great bookes of S. Gregories epistles whiche doo fully proue these my sayinges But for so muche as that is already donne sufficiently let this one sentence serue for al. S. Gregorie saith of his owne Church of Rome The Apostolike See Head of al churches Gregor li. 11. epist 54. Apostolica Sedes omnium Ecclesiarum Caput est The Apostolike See is the Head of al Churches This being so let vs now consider that M. Iewel doth not only mislike with the name of Vniuersal Bishop as not becoÌ„ming the Bishop of Constantinople because he was of lower degree then the Bishop of Rome nor only as vnseemely also for the Bishop of Rome bicause it conteineth a proude and ambitious brag and a meaning that may be taken in euil sense for which cause no Bishop of Rome euer vsed that name Defence pag. 118. but also he misliketh with me for saying that the name of Vniuersal Bishop in a right sense is no proude name in respect of him to whom it belongeth By a right sense I meane that sense which S. Gregorie allowed and that whiche the fourth general Councel allowed Yea farther M. Iewel saith that some Popes would haue had Ibidem and ambitiously laboured for the title of Vniuersal Bisshop and againe that the Councel of Carthage forbad the Pope of Rome to be called the Vniuersal Bisshop Al these thinges are false and fond as now it shal be proued Gregor li. 4. epist 32 ad Mauricium IteÌ„ eodeÌ„ lib. epist 36. ad Eulogium Anastasium Item codem lib. epist 38. ad Iohannem CoÌ„stantinop Gregor li. 4. epist 36 Tâ—e name of Vniuersal Bishop offered to Popâ— Leo by the Councel of Chalcedon The name of Vniuersal 8. in vvhat sense agreable to the â—ope Firste S. Gregorie witnesseth that the fourthe Councel offered the name of Vniuersal Bishop to Pope Leo â–ª Therefore saie I there is a good meaning in that name whiche the See of Rome maie laufully vse For it is not to be thought that the fourth Vniuersal Councel assembled out of the whole worlde wherein were six hundred thirty and six Bishops would haue offered that name vnto the Pope whiche by no meanes could be verified of him S. Gregories wordes are these written to Eulogius and Anastasius the two patriarches of Alexandria and of Antioche Sicut veneranda vestra sanctitas nouit vni per sanctam Chalcedonensem synodum Pontifici sedis Apostolicae cui Deo disponente deseruio hoc Vniuersitatis nomen oblatum est As your Reuerend holines knoweth this name of Vniuersalitie or of Vniuersal Bishop was offered by the holy Councel of Chalcedon to the only Bishop of the Apostolike See wherein I serue by the disposition of God If then that name of Vniuersalitie was offered to the Pope and onely to him how can it be iustified that the said name may in no sense be agreeable vnto the Pope of Rome If it may be agreeable vnto the Pope in any sense it is in this bicause he is the chiefe of al Bishops who by office hath care of the whole Churche For the name of Vniuersal must needes haue respecte to the Whole Churche And in that only sense did the Fathers of that Councel of Chalcedon offer that name to the Pope bicause they knew that thing dignitie and office to be in the Pope for that he is S. Peters Successour whiche cause also is expressed in S. Gregorie Gregor lib 4. epist 32. Certè nomen Vniuersalis Episcopi pro beati Petri Apostolorum Principis honore per venerandam Chalcedonensem SynoduÌ„ Romano Pontifici oblatum est Soothly the name of Vniuersal Bishop was offered by the reuerend Councel of Chalcedon to the Bishop of Rome for the honour of S. Peter the Prince of the Apostles Marke M. Iewel he saith not that it was offered bicause Rome was the Emperial Citie That had ben a heathnish respecte but it was offered for the honour of S. Peter If it may then be vsed in a good sense only of that Bishop who is the Successour of S. Peter M. Iewel hath vniustly reproued me That no Pope vsed the title of Vniuersal Bishop Gregor li. 4. epis 32 Now to the second point that no Pope vsed the same title So saith S. Gregorie in the same place Nullus corum vnquam hoc singularitatis vocabulum assumpsit nec vti consensit ne dum priuatum aliquid daretur vni honore debito Sacerdotes priuarentur vniuersi None of the Bishops of Rome hath taken this name of Singularitie vpon him nor did consent to vse it lest whiles some peculiar thing should be geuen to one al Priestes or Bishops together should be depriued of their due honour This modestie was then in Popes for six hundred yeres together But this man here saith Iewel Pag. 118. VVherfore then did their Successours that folovved aftervvard so ambitiously labour to geate the same Harding They laboured not for it nor vsed it any time afterward as their style in al ages til this day doth witnesse For the Bishoppes of Rome doth not write them selues Vniuersal Bishops The Popes stile Seruus seruoruÌ„ Dei but eche one Seruum Seruorum Dei the Seruant of Goddes Seruantes And that style was of purpose taken and reteined of them to checke thereby the pride of the Bishop of Constantinople who neuer leaft his proude name of Vniuersal til the Turcke was sent ouer him to chasten bothe him for his Shisme and al that defended or obeied him in despite of the Bishop of Rome And that you bring out of Platina proueth not that any Pope euer called him selfe Vniuersal Bishop but when the Bishops of Rome sawe that the Bishops of Constantinople would needes by force keepe and vse that arrogant name Bonifacius 3. then Bonifacius the third intending to stay that together with that name the right of the See Apostolike should not be lost and passe away to the See of Constantinople then I

Hovv be it this I trovve is not the readiest vvaie to procure peace and to mainteine vnitie in the Churche Harding Vnitie is best mainteined by the gouerment of one general Head The .13 Chapt. If the hauing of one king or Prince be the readiest waie to procure peace and mainteine vnitie in worldly matters of a Realme why should not the hauing of one general Head be the readiest waie to procure peace and vnitie in the Churche If that be not the waie you leaue vs none at al. If euery man take that Religion that liketh best his owne phantasie as many doo in diuers partes of the worlde already who shal cal them backe to the true Catholique Religion Iewel And therefore Gregorie saith of Iohn the Bishop of Constantinople that claimed to him selfe this vniuersal povver c.

Gregorie in that sense coulde not brooke but tooke it to be arrogant and proude And we saie as we haue alwaies said that no Pope euer claimed the title of vniuersal Bishop in that sense that there ought none others to be Bishoppes but he And yet S. Gregorie claimed the right title of the Primacie apperteining to his See in his answere made to Mauricius the Emperour as Platina recordeth And S.
