every_o of_o these_o point_n as_o the_o papist_n can_v clear_o resolve_v consider_v well_o the_o four_o next_o article_n 13_o none_o do_v simple_o deny_v but_o that_o peter_n may_v have_v be_v at_o rome_n as_o a_o passenger_n or_o for_o some_o short_a abode_n although_o so_o much_o be_v not_o manifest_a but_o that_o he_o sit_v bishop_n there_o and_o that_o so_o many_o year_n be_v altogether_o

mention_n of_o peter_n and_o whereas_o six_o of_o his_o epistle_n be_v date_v at_o rome_n be_v it_o not_o lik_o but_o that_o in_o some_o of_o they_o he_o will_v speak_v of_o peter_n if_o he_o have_v be_v there_o so_o long_o and_o in_o such_o authority_n as_o he_o do_v of_o timothy_n who_o authority_n be_v less_o that_o thereby_o his_o exhortation_n and_o reproving_n may_v better_o prevail_v to_o say_v nothing_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o in_o any_o place_n signify_v that_o peter_n be_v at_o rome_n which_o in_o likelihood_n shall_v have_v be_v do_v if_o god_n have_v see_v succession_n of_o bishop_n at_o rome_n from_o peter_n to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n as_o now_o it_o be_v make_v 14_o but_o say_v that_o he_o be_v at_o rome_n it_o will_v help_v the_o papist_n nothing_o except_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v also_o bishop_n of_o rome_n whereof_o there_o be_v small_a likelihood_n if_o we_o take_v this_o word_n bishop_n not_o in_o the_o large_a sense_n which_o comprehend_v apostle_n and_o all_o minister_n have_v authority_n but_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n which_o signify_v a_o minister_n entitle_v to_o a_o certain_a place_n for_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o peter_n descend_v from_o the_o high_a degree_n in_o the_o church_n of_o which_o all_o apostle_n be_v next_o to_o christ_n the_o head_n to_o the_o inferior_a degree_n of_o a_o

to_o a_o particular_a charge_n as_o he_o be_v bishop_n 15_o but_o they_o say_v he_o be_v universal_a bishop_n and_o therefore_o his_o authority_n be_v not_o restrain_v they_o must_v needs_o say_v so_o for_o else_o his_o suppose_a be_v bishop_n at_o rome_n will_v stand_v they_o in_o no_o stead_n but_o be_v his_o authority_n enlarge_v hereby_o if_o not_o for_o how_o can_v he_o have_v a_o large_a jurisdiction_n than_o apostolical_a authority_n throughout_o the_o world_n what_o reason_n then_o can_v they_o give_v why_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o universal_a authority_n rather_o by_o the_o

this_o point_n since_o it_o be_v of_o such_o consequence_n with_o they_o as_o that_o it_o bind_v their_o conscience_n to_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n nay_o rather_o the_o scripture_n show_v the_o
