apostelles so that all they be in the foundation set vpon Christ the very rocke whervpon the hole church standeth So lykewise in the .xxi. chapter of the Apocalypse it is wrytten that the wall of heuenly Hierusalem the citie of almyghtye god whyche is the churche Christis espouse hath .xii. foundations and in theym the names of the .xii. apostels wrytten soo that the name of Peter is not there wrytten onely for the .xii. apostels throughe all the worlde as well as Peter preached Christ to be the sonne of god who is the very rocke whervpon all our fayth is founded ¶ Sayncte Cyprian also saythe in his boke of the simplicitie of prelates that all the apostels had equall power and dignitie gyuen to them by Christ. And bycause all shulde preache done thynge therfore the begynnynge therof fyrste beganne by one whiche was Peter Who confessed for them all that Christ was the sonne of god that lyueth sayinge further that in the churche there is one offyce of all bysshops wherof euerye man hath a parte allotted holly vnto hym Nowe if the byshop of Rome may medle ouer all where he wyll then euerye man hath not holly his parte for the bysshop of Rome maye medle in his parte with hym soo that he hath it not holly which is agein Ciprian ¶ And where Christe sayd that he wold gyue to Peter the keyes of heauen that was sayd to hym not for hym selfe onely but for the hole churche Whiche confessynge the faithe that he dyd shulde haue the keys of heauen as well as he as saint Augustin sayth expoundynge the gospel of Iohn in the fyfty treaty ¶ And as to the auctoritie of the laste chapter of Iohn̄ where Christ said thrise to Peter Fede my shepe after he hadde confessed to loue Christ thrise asked that place is as Cyrillus sayth expoundynge the same thus to be vnderstande that bicause Peter hadde thrise denyed Christe wherby he thought hym selfe he had loste his apostelshyp Christe to comforte hym ageyne and to restore hym to his offyce that he had loste asked hym thrise whether he loued hym and so restored him ageyne to his offyce Whiche els he durste not haue presumed vnto sayeng to hym Fede my shepe With whiche exposition the ancient holy expositours of that place do agree ¶ And where it is sayde that those wordes were spoken onely to Peter wherby he ought to haue a preeminēce aboue the other Saynt Paule in the .xx. chapiter of thactes proueth the contrarye Where saynt Paule sayde to all the bysshops assembled at Milete Take heede to youre selues and to all your flocke in whiche the holy gooste hath put you to gouerne his churche whiche worde To gouerne is in the origynall texte of Greke Pimenin the same worde that Christe spake to Peter and doth signify to fede and gouerne the shepe as the shepeherde ought to do so that saynte Paule sayth that the holye gooste hath ordeyned all byshops to fede their flocke as saynte Peter was bydden do Saynt Peter also in the laste chapiter of his fyrste epystle sayth Ye that be priestes fede the flocke of god emongeste you whiche worde there spoken to all pristis is the same worde that Christe spake to Peter ¶ So it appereth playnely by the scriptures afore sayde conferred to gether that nother the .xvi. chapter of Mathew nor the .xxi. of Iohn do proue that Peter had power auctoritie or dygnitie gyuen by Chryste ouer all the other that they shulde be vnder hym and yet his primacie that he firste of al the apostels confessed our fayth that Christe is the sonne of god with whiche his confession all the apostels dydde consente and preched the same standeth still And all that wyll be saued must folow that lesson that he first taughte vs to confesse And soo the bysshoppes of Romes power ouer all whiche he wolde proue by those places wrong alleged for his pourpose vtterly qualeth and is not proued ¶ Besides this whan Faustinus legate to the byshop of Rome alleged in the .vi. counsel Carthaginense that the bysshop of Rome ought to haue the orderynge of all great matters in all places by his supreme auctoritie he alleged no scripture for him for at that time no scripture was thought to make for it but he alleged vntruely the fyrste generall counsayle Nicene in whiche Arrius the heretyke was condemned to make for that pourpose Which after the boke was brought forth and no suche article founde in it but the contrarye yet the counselle at that tyme sent to Constantinople Alexandria and Antioche where the patryarchall sees were to haue the true copye of the counsel Nicene Whiche was sent vnto theym and also from Rome whether they sente alsoo for that pourpose And after they founde noo suche article in it but in the fyfth chapyter therof the contrarye that all causes ecclesiasticall shulde eyther be deterymned within the diocese or elles yf any were greued than to appeale to the counsel prouinciall and there the matter to take ful ende so that for no suche causes men shulde go out of their prouince the hole counsell Carthaginence wrote to Celestine at that tyme beinge bysshop of Rome that sens the councel Nicene had no suche article in it as was vntrewely alleged by Faustinus but the contrarye they desired hym to absteyn after to make any more suche demaunde denouncynge vnto hym that they wold not suffre any cause great or small to be brought by appele out of their countrey And thervpon made a lawe that no man shuld appeale out of the countreye of Aphrike vppon peyne to be denounced accursed Wherwith the byshop of Rome euer after held hym content and made no more busynes with them seinge he had nought to saye for hym selfe to the contrary And at this counsel amongest other saynt Augustine was presente and subscrybed the same whyche he wold not haue done if he had knowen or taken any parte of the gospel or of the scripture to be contrary ¶ It is also determyned in the .vi. article of the sayd counsel Nicene that in the orient the byshop of Antioche shoulde be chiefe in Egypte the byshop of Alexandria About Rome the byshop of Rome and lykewise in other countreyes metropolitans shulde haue their preemynence so that the bysshop of Rome neuer hadde medlynge in those countreys ¶ And in the next article folowynge the byshop of Hierusalem which citie before had bene distroyed and almoste desolate is restored to his olde prerogatiue to be the chiefe in Palestyne and the countrey of Iure whiche churche of Hierusalem if places shulde be regarded shoulde be the chiefe for there was accomplysshed the mistery of our redemption and Christ hym selfe the eternall worde and sonne of god there preached in personne and after his ascencion all the apostels disciples and sayncte Paule also preached there in person the hole .xii. apostels began fyrst there as Christ had commanded to haue the saying of Esai the prophete in the .ii.
