Gentle
Reader
Irenaeus
,
That by only bringing forth that Tradition and Religion , which the greatest , and most ancient , and to all men manifest , I say , the Church of Rome , founded and erected by the two most glorious Apostles S. Peter & S. Paul , receiued of them , and by succession of Bishops , hath brought vnto our time ; we do counfound all those , which howsoeuer , either by vaine pleasing of themselues , or vaine glory , or by blindnes and peruerse iudgment , do make erroneous decoctions .
as
the
same
there is in the Roman Church a more powerfull principality , by reason wherof , it is necessary for euery Church , that is , for all Christians throughout the whole world , to haue recourse vnto it &c.
