The traditions of Imperial rule, law, and order could not be divorced from the " Eternal City," and the gradual decay of the Western Empire transferred these traditions from the Roman Emperor to the Roman Patriarch. We may note here that the word Patriarch was officially employed in the Acts of Chalcedon where allusion was made to the "most holy Patriarchs" of each Diocese (oa-uaTCLToi Harpidp DEGREESai StoiKya-ews eicwTTw}} S. Leo the Great is called "the Patriarch of Great Rome," and also, in Canon xxx. of Chalcedon, the Tome of S. Leo is described as "the Epistle of the most holy Archbishop Leo" (tov wruararov 'ApxieTricrKoirov Aeoiroy). The titles of "Patriarch" and "Archbishop" did not long remain thus interchangeable. The title of "Archbishop " was reserved for the chief Metropolitans as a title of honour, and in course of time it was in certain cases used as a title of honour for certain Bishops who were not actually Metropolitans of Provinces. In the Anglican Communion the title of Archbishop belongs exclusively to the Primatial See of Canterbury, and to the principal Metropolitans who own its Primacy.2 The ecclesiastical laws concerning the Patriarchs and their powers afterwards received civil authority in the East by the Laws of Justinian, much in the same way as the Edict of Gratian had given civil authority to the jurisdiction of the Roman Patriarch.

Excerpt from The Constitutional Authority of Bishops in the Catholic Church: Illustrated by the History and Canon Law of the Undivided Church From the Apostolic Age to the Councile of Chalcedon, A. D. 451 There are two points with regard to the following pages towards which I would venture to draw the attention of those who may read them. In the first place, the main object of the investigation may seem academic rather than practical to Churchmen in England. From these I would crave patience, because questions which touch the daily practical working of the Free Churches of the Anglican Communion must necessarily seem at present merely academic to Churchmen whose organisation is still linked with the State. Secondly, I desire the indulgence of all my readers on account of the necessarily frequent repetitions of the same arguments and the same enactments, in slightly varying forms, which this book contains.
