The next word to be considered is _convenire_, which may be rendered either _resort_ or _agree_; and I confess I should have been disposed, with Massuet, to render it _agree_, were it not for a perfectly parallel passage in the 32d _Oration_ of Gregory of Nazianzum, delivered at the first council of Constantinople. Speaking of Constantinople, he says, { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH PSILI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH DASIA AND VARIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH VARIA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}, { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH VARIA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH DASIA AND OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH PERISPOMENI~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH PERISPOMENI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~}. Here Constantinople is spoken of _then_ under the very same terms as Rome by Irenæus, as _the common repository of the faith_: other parts of the Christian world are said to be _governed_ ({ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}) by it; and distant Churches are said to _resort from all quarters_: { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~} { ~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH OXIA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{ ~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}. Are not these words an exact parallel to the _convenire_ and _undique_ of the translator of Irenæus? I therefore feel bound to give _convenire_ the sense of _resort_. The next word to be noticed is _undique_, the _application_ of which is disputed; some, as Barrow(146) and Faber(147), applying it only to the immediate neighbourhood of Rome, i. e. Italy and the adjacent parts of Gaul; others, and of course the Romanists, to the whole Christian Church. According to the former plan, the clause "hoc est ... fideles" is a limitation of the expression "omnem ecclesiam," confining it to the Churches immediately surrounding Rome; and consequently the pre-eminence of the Church of Rome would be equally narrowed by this interpretation of _undique_. I am far from contending that this interpretation is not correct; and the very fact of the passage admitting it, without any force whatever, shows how little the papal cause can be made to rest upon it.
