M. Horne. The .171. Diuision. pag. 119. a.
Although yee (.644.) vntruely reporte the storie of Theodosi∣us the Emperour, and Ambrose the Bisshoppe of Millaine, yet can you not by any meanes vvrast it, to serue your purpose (.645.) any vvhitte at all. For if it vvere true, that Ambrose forbadde Theodosius the Emperour the entraunce into the Chauncellior that the Emperour had said to him, that he had learned the dif∣ference betvvixt an Emperour and a Priest, yet can you not con∣clude thereof: therefore Bisshops and Priests haue povver and au∣thoritie to make Lavves, Orders, and Decrees to their flockes and cures, and to exercise the seconde kinde of Cohibitiue Iurisdi∣ction ouer them. Theodosius, as the Author vvriteth, came into the Chauncell to offer his oblation, vvhereat S. Ambrose found no fault: But vvhen he staid there still to receiue the holy Mysteries, S. Ambrose sent him vvord to go foorth and abide vvith the other of the Church, for that place vvas only for the Priests: For vvhich monition the Emperoure vvas retourned to Constantinople, and came on a time into the invvarde place or Chauncell to offer his oblation, and vvent foorth againe so sone as he had offred, Ne∣ctarius the Bisshop demaunded of him, vvherefore he taried not stil vvithin, meaning to receiue the holy mysteries: To vvhome the Emperour maketh ansvvere, saying: I haue scarsely learned the difference betvvixt an Emperour and a Priest.
