INCLOSED PAPER.

N the Confession of the Faith of the Greek IN

Church, compild by a Synod at Fafs in Moldavia, and confirm'd by another at Constantinople in the presence of all the four Patriarchs, we have these words, in answer to this Question, “ What “ is secondly implied by our professing to believe « in the Holy Catholick Church?

“Οι σαρ έδενός τόπε η καθολική Εκκλησία έληξε τένομα. Αι γδ τοπικαι μερικαί εισιν, η εν Εφέσω, η εν Αυλιωχεία, η εν Ιεροσολύμοις, η ν Ρώμη, η αν 'Αλιξανδρεία, και αι λοιπα, &c.

Vide ορθόδοξον ομολογίαν, printed in Valachia, Anno 1699. p. 109.

Against the Primacy and Supremacy of the Pope, there are various Tracts in my Collection of this Sort. But for a Specimen of their Opinions in this matter, take the following words of the present Patriarch of Jerusalem, in his Preface to his Edition of the TόμG- αγάπης.

Μήτε ο Κωνςαντινοπόλεως, μήτε οι λοιποι πατριάρχω, μήτε άλλων τις ορθόδοξG- εφρόνησε ποτέ τι έχη η εκκλησία Κωνςαντινοπόλεως αν τη καθόλα οκ. κλησία μοναρχικόν, η αυτοκρατορικόν, η γενικών αξίωμα, άλλ' έσι κεφαλή προλάβεσα μόνια και τάξιν, όπερ και αυτό μέγα τι ειν' ον τη εκκλησία. 'Ελα νάτως οι παπιςαι, ότι όν τρόπον η ανατολική έκκλησία λέγξ ή Κωνςαντινοπόλεως πρώτος και κεφαλίω ή εκκλησίας, τ' ά τρόπον τέτον, 131 και ο οπίσκοπG Ρώμης πρώτG- και κεφαλή τ εκκλησίας, και δεχόμεθα ή Ρώμης πρώτον ή και κεφαλω εν τη εκ

κλησία,

κλησία. Αλλ' αρασέχον) τύτο : άρα και ημείς και αραδεχόμεθα ή Ρώμης έτε πρώτον, έτε κεφαλίων, ότι ο ιόλα οπίσκοπον εν τη εκκλησία.

In another Tome published by the faine Patriarch, under the Title of ΤομG- καλολαγής there are the Summaries of particular Chapters.

“Οτι και μόνον ο τ πρεσβυτέρας Ρώμης θρόνα Αποσολικός καλά.), αλλα και έκατG- ή άλλων Πατριαρχικών θρόνων.

“Ότι μία καθολική και αποστολική εκκλησία, έχη και πρεσβυτέρας Ρώμης λέε), αλλ' η οικεμένης φάσης τ ορθοδόξων.
