A10151	The right of Kings conteyning a defence of their supremacy, over all persons and in all causes, as well ecclesiasticall as civill, within their severall dominions : herewithall is proved by testimony of Holy Scripture, that Christian Kinges are to haue such dignity, and execute such office in the Christian church, as Gods kinges had exercised in the church under the lawe : which part of the mysterie of Gods will, as it hath been wickedly under poperie shut up from men, so it is in our tymes right needfull that the same be opened to all Christian nations.

the_o apostle_n paul_n purposely_o provide_v that_o none_o shall_v conceive_v he_o to_o have_v receive_v his_o doctrine_n of_o man_n or_o by_o man._n and_o as_o for_o building_n upon_o the_o apostle_n peter_n allowance_n or_o approbation_n of_o his_o doctrine_n it_o be_v very_o absurd_a that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n shall_v build_v or_o ground_v himself_o for_o his_o doctrine_n upon_o peter_n allowance_n thereof_o or_o the_o authority_n of_o such_o allowance_n when_o he_o receive_v his_o doctrine_n from_o the_o lord_n himself_o for_o it_o be_v true_o absurd_a to_o seek_v a_o apostle_n allowance_n and_o to_o build_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o such_o allowance_n for_o that_o receive_v immediate_o from_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o likewise_o the_o church_n who_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n inasmuch_o as_o they_o believe_v that_o he_o receive_v it_o not_o of_o peter_n but_o of_o christ_n how_o seek_v they_o either_o or_o how_o build_v they_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n approbation_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o approbation_n gal._n 2.7_o but_o not_o a_o building_n upon_o such_o approbation_n see_v the_o apostle_n have_v a_o high_a warrant_n and_o authority_n for_o his_o doctrine_n last_o see_v it_o be_v very_o apparent_a mark_v 3.14_o that_o our_o lord_n himself_o choose_v the_o apostle_n and_o authorize_v they_o to_o the_o apostolical_a ministration_n &_o see_v the_o apostle_n paul_n gal._n 1.1_o say_v paul_n a_o apostle_n not_o of_o man_n neither_o by_o man_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o who_o receive_v not_o their_o ministration_n from_o peter_n how_o shall_v they_o receive_v from_o he_o the_o doctrine_n whereof_o they_o be_v apostolical_a minister_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o all_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o feed_v with_o doctrine_n by_o peter_n &_o consequent_o that_o apostle_n be_v not_o to_o feed_v all_o the_o lord_n sheep_n with_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o as_o for_o feed_v they_o with_o government_n by_o exercise_v a_o supreme_a rule_n over_o they_o this_o also_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o false_a collection_n from_o this_o scripture_n inasmuch_o as_o we_o find_v that_o our_o lord_n express_o forbadd_a unto_o his_o apostle_n any_o one_o of_o they_o to_o rule_v over_o the_o rest_n for_o mark_v 10.42_o our_o lord_n say_v thus_o unto_o the_o apostle_n you_o know_v that_o they_o which_o delight_n to_o bear_v rule_n among_o the_o gentile_n have_v domination_n over_o they_o and_o they_o that_o be_v great_a a-among_a they_o exercise_n authority_n over_o they_o but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o by_o which_o scripture_n appear_v manifest_o that_o how_o ever_o every_o one_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o govern_v and_o exercise_v authority_n over_o other_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o be_v to_o govern_v or_o exercise_v authority_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o company_n of_o the_o apostle_n it_o must_v needs_o therefore_o be_v a_o false_a and_o very_o pernicious_a interpretation_n or_o collection_n to_o affirm_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n be_v make_v governor_n to_o exercise_v authority_n over_o all_o christ_n sheep_n for_o than_o he_o be_v to_o govern_v and_o exercise_v authority_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o thing_n the_o lord_n express_o forbadd_a now_o if_o the_o generality_n hold_v not_o in_o the_o apostle_n how_o can_v it_o hold_v in_o all_o christ_n sheep_n for_o ever_o if_o peter_n exercise_v not_o such_o universal_a government_n and_o authority_n over_o all_o christ_n sheep_n why_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o this_o speech_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v he_o govern_v and_o exercise_v authority_n over_o all_o king_n and_o indeed_o if_o a_o man_n have_v already_o diverse_a shepherd_n say_v to_o one_o of_o they_o feed_v my_o sheep_n shall_v that_o one_o shepherd_n gather_v hereupon_o that_o now_o he_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o all_o his_o master_n sheep_n why_o shall_v he_o not_o rather_o understand_v this_o of_o some_o portion_n of_o sheep_n only_o which_o his_o master_n will_v sure_o allot_v out_o to_o his_o particular_a charge_n for_o he_o may_v well_o think_v with_o himself_o that_o where_o many_o shepherd_n be_v already_o appoint_v there_o all_o the_o sheep_n shall_v not_o be_v commit_v to_o one_o only_a very_o that_o apostle_n excellency_n even_o among_o the_o very_a apostle_n themselves_o be_v such_o &_o such_o will_v be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o good_a christian_n for_o ever_o that_o it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v help_v with_o unsound_a and_o false_a interpretation_n of_o and_o collection_n from_o holy_a scripture_n thus_o have_v discover_v the_o false_a use_n make_v of_o the_o latter_a of_o the_o two_o scripture_n proceed_v we_o to_o the_o first_o scripture_n as_o for_o the_o first_o scripture_n from_o whence_o some_o will_v collect_v that_o all_o doctrine_n must_v be_v receive_v from_o peter_n and_o all_o power_n or_o office_n or_o at_o least_o wise_a must_v be_v authorise_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o allowance_n or_o approbation_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v build_v upon_o the_o rock_n which_o christ_n have_v give_v to_o be_v a_o rock_n whereon_o he_o will_v build_v his_o church_n this_o collection_n appear_v to_o be_v a_o false_a use_n of_o this_o scripture_n in_o asmuch_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n receive_v not_o their_o doctrine_n nor_o power_n of_o apostleship_n from_o the_o apostle_n peter_n but_o from_o christ_n himself_o but_o what_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o lord_n himself_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o seek_v to_o build_v it_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o peter_n allowance_n or_o approbation_n the_o apostle_n paul_n as_o i_o have_v before_o note_v speak_v of_o the_o power_n of_o his_o apostleship_n say_v paul_n a_o apostle_n not_o of_o man_n neither_o by_o man_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n why_o say_v he_o this_o but_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v such_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o allowance_n or_o approbation_n of_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o and_o whilst_o the_o apostolical_a power_n be_v neither_o receive_v from_o peter_n nor_o build_v nor_o ground_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o permission_n approbation_n or_o allowance_n why_o shall_v this_o be_v require_v of_o king_n and_o prince_n these_o scripture_n therefore_o what_o ever_o they_o intend_v yet_o this_o which_o papist_n collect_v may_v not_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o intend_v for_o you_o see_v that_o that_o which_o be_v collect_v from_o they_o by_o papist_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o a_o most_o plain_a commandment_n of_o our_o lord_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n thus_o have_v by_o testimony_n of_o several_a scripture_n confute_v these_o collection_n make_v by_o some_o from_o these_o scripture_n i_o think_v it_o sufficient_a to_o oppose_v both_o against_o tradition_n and_o also_o against_o the_o great_a father_n or_o bishop_n this_o testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n by_o which_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o feed_v by_o the_o apostle_n peter_n in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o exercise_v authority_n or_o rule_n over_o they_o but_o if_o the_o scripture_n thus_o witness_n that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n himself_o may_v not_o lawful_o claim_v this_o supreme_a government_n or_o rule_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o consequent_o over_o all_o christ_n sheep_n how_o much_o less_o lawful_o than_o may_v his_o successor_n claim_v this_o for_o as_o no_o apostle_n can_v make_v a_o other_o man_n a_o apostle_n so_o no_o successor_n can_v be_v make_v a_o apostle_n by_o the_o apostle_n peter_n and_o not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o a_o apostle_n how_o shall_v he_o claim_v the_o chief_a singularity_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n and_o that_o no_o apostle_n can_v make_v a_o apostle_n i_o gather_v from_o the_o apostle_n paul_n who_o gal._n 1.1_o say_v paul_n a_o apostle_n not_o of_o man_n neither_o by_o man_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n for_o this_o argue_v that_o a_o apostle_n shall_v not_o be_v of_o man_n neither_o by_o man_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n i_o conclude_v therefrom_o that_o no_o successor_n can_v be_v in_o all_o thing_n like_o the_o apostle_n to_o who_o he_o succee_v and_o much_o less_o than_o in_o those_o thing_n by_o which_o if_o by_o any_o thing_n the_o apostle_n peter_n be_v prefer_v unto_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n if_o the_o successor_n have_v confer_v upon_o he_o all_o the_o gift_n and_o prerogative_n of_o a_o apostle_n what_o be_v he_o then_o but_o a_o apostle_n but_o such_o gift_n and_o prerogative_n as_o by_o which_o apostle_n be_v apostle_n can_v not_o be_v give_v by_o man_n but_o by_o christ_n only_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n peter_n neither_o might_n nor_o can_v confer_v upon_o his_o successor_n all_o the_o power_n
