of_o the_o christian_a people_n have_v all_o the_o same_o authority_n over_o they_o but_o be_v not_o equal_a among_o themselves_o st._n peter_n be_v superior_a to_o the_o rest_n out_o of_o these_o answer_n and_o other_o their_o write_n concern_v this_o matter_n we_o may_v gather_v these_o three_o difference_n betwixt_o st._n peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n 1._o in_o the_o apostleship_n all_o the_o apostle_n be_v equal_a but_o peter_n receive_v this_o plenary_a power_n not_o as_o apostle_n but_o as_o ordinary_a pastor_n and_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v to_o continue_v to_o his_o successor_n 2._o the_o apostle_n be_v equal_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o be_v convert_v by_o they_o but_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o all_o the_o apostle_n have_v supreme_a authority_n over_o the_o christian_a world_n but_o peter_n be_v so_o supreme_a head_n of_o all_o christian_n that_o he_o be_v also_o superior_a to_o the_o apostle_n 3._o all_o the_o apostle_n have_v equal_a power_n of_o execute_v what_o christ_n command_v they_o but_o st._n peter_n only_o have_v power_n of_o make_v new_a order_n and_o prescribe_v by_o his_o successor_n what_o be_v always_o to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n which_o pretence_n we_o shall_v now_o examine_v and_o confute_v first_o it_o be_v pretend_v that_o the_o amplitude_n of_o power_n which_o all_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o common_a the_o rest_n have_v only_o for_o themselves_o and_o as_o a_o privilege_n mere_o personal_a be_v to_o end_v with_o they_o but_o peter_n have_v the_o same_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o may_v leave_v it_o to_o his_o successor_n so_o that_o that_o power_n which_o in_o the_o rest_n be_v apostolical_a and_o temporary_a be_v ordinary_a pastoral_n and_o perpetual_a in_o peter_n which_o be_v it_o true_a than_o every_o pope_n be_v immediate_o choose_v by_o god_n not_o by_o the_o cardinal_n then_o they_o be_v all_o consecrate_a and_o ordain_v immediate_o by_o christ_n not_o by_o bishop_n then_o have_v they_o all_o power_n to_o write_v book_n of_o canonical_a scripture_n and_o be_v free_a from_o danger_n of_o err_v whensoever_o they_o either_o preach_v or_o write_v then_o can_v they_o confirm_v their_o doctrine_n by_o miracle_n and_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o imposition_n of_o their_o hand_n but_o since_o no_o pope_n can_v pretend_v without_o great_a impiety_n to_o any_o of_o these_o preeminency_n it_o be_v vain_a for_o they_o to_o urge_v that_o some_o part_n of_o that_o dignity_n and_o power_n that_o be_v in_o peter_n be_v in_o peter_n successor_n for_o so_o there_o be_v in_o the_o mean_a priest_n in_o the_o world_n second_o as_o for_o that_o other_o shift_n that_o the_o apostle_n be_v equal_a towards_o the_o people_n but_o not_o among_o themselves_o inasmuch_o as_o they_o have_v no_o superior_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o office_n of_o teach_v and_o govern_v the_o world_n but_o be_v subject_n to_o one_o head_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o personal_a action_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o strong_a paradox_n the_o world_n ever_o hear_v of_o for_o who_o can_v imagine_v that_o god_n will_v trust_v the_o apostle_n with_o the_o manage_n the_o weighty_a affair_n of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o government_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n without_o be_v any_o way_n accountant_a in_o respect_n thereof_o unto_o any_o one_o among_o they_o as_o superior_a and_o that_o he_o will_v appoint_v a_o head_n and_o chief_a and_o subject_v they_o to_o his_o censure_n in_o their_o personal_a action_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o only_a absurdity_n this_o doctrine_n run_v they_o into_o for_o three_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o all_o the_o apostle_n have_v equal_a power_n of_o execute_v what_o christ_n command_v they_o but_o st._n peter_n only_o have_v authority_n to_o make_v new_a constitution_n and_o to_o prescribe_v by_o his_o successor_n what_o be_v always_o to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n but_o this_o be_v say_v without_o any_o proof_n at_o all_o and_o indeed_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o another_o debate_n of_o which_o i_o have_v now_o thus_o much_o to_o say_v that_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o peter_n have_v power_n of_o himself_o to_o determine_v any_o matter_n of_o moment_n else_o when_o he_o be_v question_v for_o go_v unto_o the_o gentile_n he_o need_v not_o to_o have_v make_v his_o defence_n before_o the_o apostle_n and_o brethren_n but_o will_v have_v strengthen_v his_o practice_n by_o his_o own_o authority_n and_o at_o the_o great_a council_n at_o jerusalem_n he_o neither_o preside_v as_o chief_a nor_o be_v his_o vote_n more_o requisite_a than_o any_o other_o apostle_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o what_o they_o then_o determine_v the_o apostle_n be_v all_o star_n of_o the_o great_a magnitude_n and_o have_v each_o of_o they_o a_o light_n to_o guide_v man_n to_o christ_n in_o the_o ordinary_a concern_v of_o christianity_n but_o when_o any_o momentous_a matter_n arise_v in_o debate_n they_o then_o be_v gather_v together_o and_o make_v up_o a_o glorious_a constellation_n which_o by_o its_o illustrious_a emanation_n of_o light_n lead_v the_o church_n in_o its_o dark_a emergency_n by_o who_o act_n and_o write_n the_o church_n be_v so_o secure_v from_o error_n and_o direct_v into_o all_o truth_n that_o it_o no_o long_o needs_o the_o extraordinary_a way_n of_o guidance_n if_o man_n will_v submit_v to_o the_o truth_n they_o find_v there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o any_o power_n of_o define_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n the_o church_n can_v by_o her_o approbation_n make_v those_o assertion_n and_o proposition_n to_o be_v catholic_n verity_n that_o be_v not_o so_o before_o she_o may_v indeed_o propose_v what_o be_v before_o not_o so_o thorough_o think_v on_o but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o clear_a deduction_n from_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v bind_v express_o to_o believe_v that_o make_v thing_n of_o that_o sort_n that_o they_o must_v be_v particular_o and_o distinct_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o be_v not_o necessary_o so_o to_o be_v believe_v before_o i_o conclude_v this_o part_n with_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o magdeburgense_n cen._n 2._o lib._n 2._o cap._n 7._o who_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o supremacy_n give_v to_o st._n peter_n by_o this_o place_n because_o the_o apostle_n mat._n 18._o afterward_o doubt_v who_o be_v the_o great_a among_o they_o and_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v that_o christ_n will_v have_v command_v they_o to_o strive_v no_o more_o about_o it_o have_v he_o appoint_v st._n peter_n to_o be_v their_o chief_n his_o silence_n herein_o be_v argument_n enough_o ii_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o ordinary_a power_n honour_n and_o privilege_n of_o st._n peter_n and_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v to_o be_v derive_v down_o to_o their_o successor_n that_o it_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o be_v and_o constitution_n of_o a_o church_n not_o only_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o distinction_n of_o clergy_n and_o laity_n but_o that_o in_o the_o clergy_n also_o there_o shall_v be_v different_a order_n be_v demonstrable_a from_o scripture_n antiquity_n and_o the_o general_a concurrence_n of_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n though_o indeed_o for_o the_o reason_n before-given_a it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v in_o every_o age_n have_v the_o same_o qualification_n the_o apostle_n have_v for_o as_o those_o be_v reserve_v as_o peculiar_a and_o proper_a unto_o the_o
