A11924	A Godlye sermon preached before the Queens Most Excellent Maiestie vpon the 17, 18, 19 verses of the 16 chapter of S. Mathew vvherein is contained the conclusion of a dialogue betweene Christ and his disciples, shewing breefely that the authoritie which the Pope of Rome doth challenge to himselfe is vnlawfully vsurped : very necessarie for these perilous times wherein the simple may perceiue their intollerable impietie, vsurping that office and action which euer appertayned vnto Christ only : published at the request of sundry godly and well disposed persons.		1585 (1585)	STC 22237; ESTC S2330	39,008	98

the_o same_o epistle_n of_o his_o flesh_n &_o his_o bone_n for_o say_v he_o christ_n nourish_v and_o cherish_v his_o church_n 5.30_o ephe._n 5.30_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n flesh_n and_o bone_n wherefore_o if_o the_o church_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o god_n have_v appoint_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o head_n thereof_o and_o that_o head_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o bone_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n be_v what_o cause_n be_v there_o to_o make_v any_o other_o head_n except_o we_o shall_v think_v either_o that_o one_o head_n not_o to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o give_v life_n and_o to_o rule_v the_o body_n or_o to_o be_v too_o mighty_a and_o of_o too_o great_a rule_n and_o authority_n and_o therefore_o do_v adjoine_v another_o thereunto_o as_o when_o two_o consul_n or_o caesares_fw-la be_v create_v of_o one_o place_n the_o one_o to_o abridge_v the_o other_o power_n and_o might_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o inconvenience_n can_v be_v fear_v in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o to_o assign_v another_o head_n to_o his_o body_n beside_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n be_v that_o part_n of_o the_o body_n which_o give_v life_n nourish_v and_o augment_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o faithful_a unto_o eternal_a life_n but_o who_o do_v or_o can_v perform_v this_o but_o only_a christ_n even_o as_o a_o man_n cherish_v his_o own_o flesh_n so_o nourish_v he_o the_o church_n which_o consist_v of_o his_o own_o flesh_n and_o bone_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n testify_v he_o therefore_o be_v the_o only_a head_n there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n that_o be_v between_o man_n and_o wife_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n testify_v for_o as_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o wife_n head_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o church_n be_v in_o subjection_n to_o christ_n so_o the_o wife_n to_o their_o husband_n as_o christ_n love_v his_o church_n so_o wife_n their_o husband_n as_o wife_n be_v their_o husband_n flesh_n so_o be_v the_o church_n the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o then_o he_o that_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o husband_n and_o spouse_n thereof_o for_o therefore_o he_o be_v the_o head_n because_o he_o be_v the_o husband_n but_o there_o be_v but_o one_o husband_n therefore_o whosoever_o shall_v make_v any_o other_o head_n of_o the_o church_n than_o christ_n must_v also_o make_v another_o husband_n if_o another_o husband_n than_o a_o adulterer_n and_o the_o church_n a_o harlot_n for_o one_o wife_n can_v have_v two_o bridegroom_n or_o husband_n paul_n say_v of_o the_o corinthian_n i_o have_v prepare_v you_o for_o one_o husband_n to_o present_v you_o a_o pure_a virgin_n to_o christ_n &_o john_n baptist_n in_o the_o evangelist_n john_n say_v he_o be_v the_o bridegroom_n &_o his_o apostle_n be_v the_o only_a minister_n &_o friend_n of_o the_o bridegroom_n they_o be_v only_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o marriage_n between_o christ_n &_o his_o church_n how_o can_v peter_n then_o be_v account_v as_o the_o head_n of_o god_n church_n christ_n himself_o be_v the_o head_n and_o the_o husband_n thereof_o let_v he_o therefore_o be_v esteem_v as_o a_o minister_n &_o friend_n of_o the_o spouse_n as_o christ_n himself_o have_v term_v he_o and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o no_o further_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v not_o light_o to_o be_v regard_v that_o after_o christ_n have_v say_v to_o peter_n thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n whereby_o they_o will_v establish_v a_o chiefetie_n &_o pre-eminence_n give_v he_o over_o all_o other_o the_o apostle_n and_o congregation_n of_o god_n arise_v this_o controversy_n among_o they_o which_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a and_o that_o even_o then_o when_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o go_v to_o suffer_v &_o depart_v from_o they_o suppose_v as_o it_o shall_v seem_v after_o the_o departure_n of_o christ_n some_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v chief_a and_o bear_v rule_n over_o the_o rest_n even_o than_o our_o saviour_n christ_n beat_v down_o utter_o that_o conceit_n and_o imagination_n of_o they_o show_v that_o rule_n and_o soveraintie_n belong_v unto_o king_n and_o prince_n the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n they_o reign_v they_o bear_v rule_v they_o be_v call_v gracious_a lord_n but_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o whosoever_o will_v be_v the_o chief_a among_o you_o let_v he_o be_v your_o servant_n and_o he_o set_v himself_o a_o example_n before_o they_o that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o have_v service_n do_v unto_o he_o but_o to_o serve_v and_o to_o give_v his_o life_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o many_o hereby_o although_o it_o be_v the_o especial_a purpose_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o take_v away_o that_o ambition_n which_o reign_v in_o his_o disciple_n by_o reason_n they_o dream_v to_o obtain_v by_o he_o a_o earthly_a and_o terrestrial_a kingdom_n notwithstanding_o be_v so_o often_o occasion_v to_o declare_v through_o their_o desire_n of_o soveraintie_n and_o rule_n and_o especial_o before_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n who_o after_o his_o death_n he_o will_v leave_v his_o deputy_n and_o vicegerent_n of_o who_o they_o shall_v depend_v and_o be_v govern_v it_o may_v give_v just_a occasion_n to_o think_v that_o as_o when_o he_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o in_o flesh_n he_o will_v not_o give_v any_o supremacy_n or_o pre-eminence_n to_o any_o one_o more_o than_o to_o another_o but_o make_v they_o all_o equal_a so_o also_o after_o his_o ascension_n he_o will_v have_v they_o so_o continue_v especial_o the_o reason_n of_o christ_n be_v such_o as_o be_v appliable_a to_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o this_o life_n this_o strife_n and_o contention_n will_v not_o have_v rise_v if_o they_o have_v know_v at_o any_o time_n christ_n have_v appoint_v peter_n their_o chief_a &_o governor_n or_o else_o may_v easy_o have_v be_v end_v if_o answer_n have_v be_v make_v by_o christ_n that_o peter_n be_v he_o who_o shall_v be_v in_o his_o stead_n after_o his_o death_n but_o what_o if_o this_o doctrine_n of_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o faith_n shall_v we_o think_v then_o their_o interpretation_n to_o be_v true_a if_o peter_n be_v the_o rock_n whereon_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v build_v then_o must_v the_o church_n also_o believe_v in_o peter_n for_o the_o church_n can_v be_v build_v but_o by_o faith_n and_o belief_n but_o to_o believe_v in_o peter_n be_v to_o ascribe_v that_o to_o the_o creature_n which_o only_o be_v to_o be_v yield_v unto_o the_o creator_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v want_v great_a impiety_n to_o give_v this_o unto_o peter_n which_o they_o do_v beside_o the_o church_n of_o god_n contain_v the_o whole_a company_n of_o the_o faithful_a even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n unto_o the_o end_n why_o then_o if_o peter_n be_v the_o rock_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o universal_a church_n of_o christ_n then_o must_v the_o faithful_a that_o be_v before_o peter_n be_v bear_v be_v found_v upon_o peter_n and_o depend_v on_o he_o as_o their_o head_n but_o to_o affirm_v that_o i_o think_v can_v want_v absurdity_n therefore_o except_o you_o will_v make_v even_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o god_n to_o have_v have_v many_o visible_a head_n this_o their_o assertion_n must_v prove_v but_o a_o vain_a imagination_n if_o we_o further_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o which_o paul_n write_v of_o peter_n that_o he_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o and_o paul_n himself_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n can_v peter_n be_v account_v the_o foundation_n and_o head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n when_o as_o to_o preach_v unto_o the_o gentile_n belong_v not_o to_o he_o this_o reason_n drive_v cardinal_n poole_n into_o such_o straight_n that_o whereas_o other_o of_o his_o adherent_n say_v peter_n be_v appoint_v head_n of_o the_o church_n here_o other_o immediate_o after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o be_v compel_v to_o say_v that_o peter_n supremacy_n take_v no_o place_n before_o paul_n conversion_n for_o that_o before_o that_o peter_n can_v not_o represent_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n and_o leave_v twelve_o apostle_n to_o figure_n unto_o we_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n wherefore_o these_o thing_n be_v well_o weigh_v together_o first_o that_o the_o apostle_n flat_o set_v down_o that_o no_o man_n can_v or_o aught_o to_o lay_v any_o other_o foundation_n than_o christ_n himself_o the_o corinthian_n seek_v especial_o to_o depend_v upon_o some_o one_o principal_o as_o their_o chief_a teacher_n i_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o
