he_o not_o only_o into_o that_o bishopric_n but_o likewise_o into_o all_o his_o other_o more_o than_o apostolical_a privilege_n the_o first_o he_o prove_v from_o the_o dignity_n of_o that_o see_v which_o say_v he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o arise_v but_o because_o peter_n be_v primate_n there_o but_o who_o do_v not_o see_v that_o the_o dignity_n of_o it_o may_v easy_o arise_v from_o other_o cause_n as_o particular_o from_o this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a seat_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n assign_v why_o the_o bishop_n of_o constantinaple_n be_v to_o have_v the_o second_o place_n 5._o council_n constantinop_n can._n 5._o because_o he_o be_v bishop_n of_o new-rome_n 2._o he_o prove_v it_o because_o peter_n die_v and_o be_v bury_v there_o as_o say_v he_o be_v apparent_a from_o his_o sepulchre_n yet_o to_o be_v see_v as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o as_o easy_a for_o the_o pope_n to_o make_v specious_a tomb_n for_o man_n who_o never_o die_v in_o rome_n as_o to_o canonize_v and_o make_v prayer_n to_o saint_n who_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v have_v no_o place_n in_o heaven_n his_o reason_n to_o defend_v the_o pope_n succession_n unto_o peter_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o 1._o because_o peter_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o successor_n there_o be_v say_v he_o as_o much_o reason_n for_o a_o universal_a bishop_n now_o as_o then_o which_o i_o easy_o grant_v and_o return_v it_o thus_o but_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o a_o universal_a bishop_n then_o for_o then_o sure_a the_o holy_a man_n who_o business_n it_o be_v to_o write_v all_o

we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o such_o universal_a bishop_n but_o admit_v it_o be_v so_o how_o will_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n more_o than_o any_o other_o bishop_n be_v to_o be_v his_o successor_n yes_o say_v bellarmine_n 2._o none_o ever_o do_v yet_o pretend_v to_o be_v peter_n be_v successor_n but_o only_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o therefore_o undoubted_o he_o be_v the_o man_n which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o usurper_n who_o have_v gain_v a_o crown_n by_o force_n and_o destroy_v all_o the_o lawful_a heir_n shall_v say_v none_o do_v now_o pretend_v to_o the_o crown_n but_o myself_o and_o therefore_o undoubted_o i_o have_v a_o true_a title_n i_o believe_v this_o be_v the_o first_o case_n wherein_o a_o confident_a and_o
