dixit Irenaeus, satis apparebit ei qui nullo partium studio infectus eum lege∣rit—] Still here is a Primacy of Autho∣rity: And Irenaeus unworthily abused. I dare say I have sine partium studio, with an unfeigned willingness to know the truth, perused that place of Irenaeus long ago, up∣on the boasts of Bellarmine concerning it. And it seems most plain to me that its the secular Principality occasioning a Con∣curse to that place that Irenaeus speaks of. And if it were not so, yet is it much more likely that it is an Ecclesiastick Principality, ex nobilitate Materiae, because the Great∣ness of that City occasioned the gathering of a more numerous famous Church where Apostolical persons were still at hand, and opportunities were greater to preserve Church History, then that it should be any Instituted Principality of office or seat? Nor do Grotius his Arguments do any thing to Prove this Roman Principality which he pleads for.
