the Church there is one office of all Bishops whereof every man hath a part allotted wholly unto him Now if the Bishop of Rome may meddle over all where he will then every man hath not wholly his part for the Bishop of Rome may meddle in his part with him so that he hath it not wholly which is against Cyprian And where Christ said that he would give to Peter the keyes of heaven that was said to him not for himselfe onely but for the whole Church which confessing the Faith that he did should have the keyes of heaven as well as he as Saint Austine saith expounding the Gospell of Iohn in the 50. treaty And as to the authority of the last chapter of Iohn where Christ said thrice to Peter Feede my sheepe after he had confessed to love Christ thrice asked that place is as Cyrillus saith expounding the same thus to be understood that because Peter had thrice denyed Christ whereby he thought himselfe he had lost his Apostleship Christ to comfort him againe and to restore him to his office that he had lost asked him thrice whether he loved him and so restored him againe to his office which else he durst not have presumed unto saying to him Feede my sheepe With which Exposition the antient holy Expositours of that place doe agree And where it is said that those words were spoken onely to Peter whereby he ought to have a preheminence above the other Saint Paul in the 22. chapter of the Acts proveth the contrary where Saint Paul said to all the Bishops assembled at Milete Take heed to your selves and to all your flocke in which the holy Ghost hath put you to govern his Church which word To governe is in the originall Text of Greeke Pimenin the same word that Christ spake to Peter and doth signifie to feed and governe the sheepe as the shepheard ought to doe so that Saint Paul saith that the holy Ghost hath ordained all Bishops to feed their flocke as Peter was bidden doe Saint Peter also in the last chapter of his first Epistle saith Yee that be Priests feed the flocke of God amongst you which word there spoken to all Priests is the same word that Christ spake to Peter So it appeareth plainely by the Scriptures aforesaid conferred together that neither the 16. chapter of Matthew nor the 21. of Iohn doe prove that Peter had power authority or dignity given by Christ over all the other that they should be under him and yet his primacie that hee first of all the Apostles confessed our faith that Christ is the Sonne of God with which his confession all the Apostles did consent and preached the same standeth still And all that will be saved must follow that lesson that hee first taught us to confesse And so the Bishops of Romes power over all which he would prove by those places wrong alledged for his purpose utterly quaileth and is not proved Besides this when Faustinus Legate to the Bishop of Rome alledged in the 6 Counsell Carthaginense that the Bishop of Rome ought to have the ordering of all great matters in all places by his supreme authority he alledged no Scripture for him for at that time no Scripture was thought to make for it but hee alledged untruly the first generall Councell Nicene in which Arrius the heretike was condemned to make for that purpose Which after the Booke was brought forth and no such article found in it but the contrary yet the Councell at that time sent to Constantinople Alexandria and Antioch where the patriarchall Sees were to have the true copy of the councell Nicene which was sent unto them and also from Rome whither they sent also for that purpose And after they found no such article in it but in the fifth chapter thereof the contrary that all causes ecclesiasticall should either be determined within the Diocesse or else if any were grieved then to appeale to the Councell provinciall and there the matter to take full end so that for no such causes men should goe out of their Province The whole Councell Carthaginence wrote to Celestine at that time being Bishop of Rome that since the Councell Nicene had no such Article in it as was untruely alledged by Faustinus but the contrary they desired him to abstaine after to make any more such demand denouncing unto him that they would not suffer any cause great or small to be brought by appeale out of their country And thereupon made a law that no man should appeale out of the country of Affricke upon paine to be denounced accursed Wherewith the B. of Rome ever after held him content and made no more businesse with them seeing he had nought to say or himself to the contrary And at this councell amongst other S. Augustine was present and subscribed the same which he would not have done if he had known or taken any part of the Gospell or of the Scripture to be contrary It is also determined in the sixth Article of the said Councell Nicene that in the orient the Bishop of Antioch should be chiefe in Egypt the Bishop of Alexandria about Rome the Bishop of Rome and likewise in other countries Metropolitans should have their preheminence so that the Bishop of Rome never had medling in those countries And in the next Article following the Bishop of Ierusalem which citie before had beene destroyed and almost desolate is restored to his old prerogative to be the chiefe in Palestine and the country of Iury which Church of Ierusalem if places should be regarded should be the chiefe for there was accomplished the mystery of our redemption and Christ himselfe the eternall Word and Sonne of God there preached in person and after his ascention all the Apostles and Disciples and Saint Paul also preached there in person the whole twelve Apostles began first there as Christ had commanded to have the saying of Esay the Prophet in the second chapter fulfilled where he saith The law shall goe forth out of Sion and the word of God out of Ierusalem Which place Saint Ierome there expounding saith that the Church first founded at Ierusalem did fow abroad all other churches of the world And at that time and a good season after Rome had not heard tell of Christ so that the Church of Rome must needs confesse that they came out of Ierusalem which was their mother as shee was to all other Churches as Esay had prophecied And now since the purpose and ambitious objection of the Bishop of Rome is cleerely avoyded let us returne to our purpose to declare what commission was giuen by Christ to his Apostles We shewed before that hee bade them preach and teach to all men all things that hee had commanded them and in the 10. chapter of Matthew and of Luke he sheweth them how they shall enter their charge saying Into what house or place soever ye shal arrive first ye shall say Peace be to this house and if
