christ_n only_o be_v to_o reign_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o the_o pope_n claim_v power_n to_o bind_v man_n conscience_n by_o his_o law_n statute_n and_o decree_n three_o he_o

who_o it_o only_o appertain_v 1.22_o but_o before_o i_o procee_v any_o further_a herein_o i_o demand_v of_o the_o pope_n and_o papist_n when_o &_o by_o what_o right_a he_o their_o proud_a pope_n take_v up_o on_o he_o this_o title_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n or_o universal_a bishop_n over_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o title_n he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o rule_v as_o he_o listen_v &_o to_o do_v what_o he_o listen_v first_o to_o claim_v it_o as_o successor_n to_o peter_n be_v impossible_a for_o that_o peter_n the_o apostle_n never_o have_v any_o such_o title_n prehemince_n or_o authority_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n 16.18_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n say_v to_o peter_n after_o he_o have_v confess_v christ_n to_o be_v that_o christ_n the_o sonn_n of_o the_o live_a god_n thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n these_o word_n hitherto_o give_v no_o superiority_n to_o peter_n above_o the_o rest_n only_o they_o show_v that_o the_o church_n be_v build_v non_fw-la super_fw-la petrum_fw-la sed_fw-la super_fw-la petram_fw-la not_o upon_o the_o person_n of_o peter_n but_o upon_o the_o rock_n and_o upon_o what_o rock_n namely_o upon_o that_o christ_n jesus_n who_o peter_n confess_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n for_o that_o confession_n of_o peter_n concern_v jesus_n to_o be_v that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n be_v the_o rock_n whereupon_o the_o church_n be_v build_v for_o as_o saint_n paul_n expound_v and_o affirm_v other_o foundation_n can_v no_o man_n lay_v 3.11_o but_o that_o which_o be_v lay_v already_o namely_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v express_o 10.4_o that_o that_o rock_n be_v christ_n and_o christ_n himself_o affirm_v likewise_o 7.24_o that_o he_o that_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o do_v they_o be_v liken_v to_o one_o that_o build_v his_o house_n upon_o a_o rock_n show_v thereby_o that_o he_o and_o his_o word_n &_o doctrine_n be_v the_o rock_n against_o which_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v never_o prevail_v agreeable_o whereunto_o speak_v saint_n paul_n again_o 2.20_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o church_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n christ_n jesus_n himself_o be_v the_o head_n stone_n in_o the_o corner_n where_o then_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o peter_n be_v make_v prince_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o rule_v over_o all_o the_o rest_n 16.19_o as_o the_o pope_n now_o do_v the_o papist_n answer_v that_o in_o the_o next_o word_n when_o christ_n give_v unto_o peter_n by_o speaciall_a name_n the_o key_n of_o bind_v &_o lose_v he_o thereby_o make_v peter_n the_o prince_n &_o universal_a bishop_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o hereunto_o i_o say_v that_o christ_n therein_o give_v no_o authority_n more_o to_o peter_n than_o to_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v at_o this_o time_n the_o key_n be_v not_o give_v to_o he_o nor_o to_o the_o rest_n only_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v give_v for_o the_o word_n be_v not_o in_o the_o present_a tense_n do_v tibi_fw-la i_o give_v unto_o thou_o but_o in_o the_o future_a tense_n dabo_fw-la tibi_fw-la i_o will_v give_v unto_o thou_o which_o promise_v of_o christ_n be_v afterward_o true_o perform_v and_o when_o it_o be_v perform_v the_o key_n 20.22.23_o that_o be_v the_o power_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v sinner_n be_v give_v not_o only_o to_o peter_n but_o to_o peter_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n together_o as_o saint_n john_n in_o his_o gospel_n clear_o declare_v and_o avouch_v now_o because_o peter_n be_v the_o man_n that_o give_v answer_n for_o himself_o and_o the_o rest_n and_o so_o both_o cyprian_a and_o augustine_n do_v expound_v and_o declare_v it_o and_o therefore_o neither_o in_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o key_n nor_o yet_o in_o the_o receipt_n of_o the_o key_n by_o peter_n do_v he_o receive_v any_o more_o authority_n or_o superioritye_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v i_o grant_v he_o be_v call_v primus_fw-la because_o he_o be_v of_o the_o first_o that_o be_v call_v to_o the_o apostleship_n or_o because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o the_o apostle_n that_o confess_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n or_o because_o he_o be_v ready_a always_o to_o speak_v and_o answer_v but_o all_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o he_o have_v authority_n over_o the_o rest_n or_o a_o large_a commission_n than_o the_o rest_n yea_o the_o word_n of_o their_o commission_n do_v show_v the_o contrary_a namely_o that_o they_o have_v all_o equal_a authority_n for_o it_o be_v thus_o make_v unto_o they_o all_o indifferent_o &_o without_o put_v a_o difference_n namely_o go_v you_o and_o

command_v you_o math._n 28.19.20_o run_v over_o all_o that_o remain_v write_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o peter_n be_v one_o of_o the_o twelve_o equal_a with_o the_o rest_n and_o their_o

fourtéenth_fw-mi verse_n in_o that_o he_o go_v at_o their_o send_n he_o plain_o show_v that_o he_o have_v no_o principality_n over_o they_o where_o be_v his_o pre-eminence_n or_o authority_n when_o in_o a_o council_n hold_v at_o jerusalem_n where_o the_o apostle_n be_v yet_o not_o peter_n but_o james_n rule_v the_o action_n and_o according_a to_o his_o sentence_n be_v the_o decree_n make_v

that_o king_n of_o nation_n may_v bear_v rule_n over_o their_o people_n and_o that_o great_a man_n under_o those_o king_n may_v likewise_o exercise_v authority_n over_o other_o but_o so_o may_v not_o
