THE SOVTH-CHVRCH.

ALuares.e 1.1 Prester-Iohn sent to me, to aske wherfore we haue diuided the Churches of Antioche and Rome, seeing we professe to be Christians, & seeing that the Church of Antioche, was in a manner the chiefest, vntill the Councell of Pope Leo, whom three hundred and eighteene Bishoppes assisted. I answered as I had said once before to his greatnesse, that indeed An∣tioche, was heretofore the head of the Church, which Saint Peter gouerned, and dwelt in it fiue yeares, and in Rome fiue and twenty yeares. After that, hee inquired whether we doe obay all that which the Pope commaunded vs; I answered him, that we doe, and that we were obliged therunto, by the Article of our holy faith, which confesseth one holy Catholicke Church. Whereupon hee replied, that if the Pope would vsurpe so great prerogatiue, as to vse towards them an vnlawfull commaundement, they would not make any reckoning of it: And if by such meanes their Abuna would presume so farre, they would burne the Coppie of such commaundement.

Annot. By this discourse it is seene that the Aethio∣pian

Church doth hold, that the Primate of the Church may erre, and commaund vnlawfull things, although he doe it in the qualitie of a Primate (for hee comman∣deth not by any other authority) and that the Iudge∣ment of the Church is good and valuable, without the aduise and consent of the Primate.
