it_o ¶_o in_o the_o leaf_n of_o c._n the_o xii_o page_n the._n xxvi_o line_n for_o name_n read_v canon_n a_o treatise_n of_o the_o pope_n primacy_n by_o nilus_n archbishop_n of_o thessalonia_n the_o adherentes_fw-la of_o the_o romishe_a church_n affirm_v first_o that_o s._n peter_n be_v make_v chief_a of_o thapostle_n by_o christ_n himself_o and_o therefore_o have_v the_o key_n of_o heaven_n worthy_o deliver_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o the_o church_n be_v build_v on_o he_o against_o the_o which_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v forasmuch_o as_o christ_n have_v pray_v for_o his_o faith_n and_o have_v command_v he_o both_o to_o strengthen_v his_o brother_n and_o also_o to_o feed_v his_o sheep_n they_o heap_v together_o also_o much_o more_o whereby_o they_o think_v that_o the_o primacy_n of_o peter_n may_v be_v prove_v secondary_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v peter_n successor_n and_o that_o he_o have_v by_o succession_n all_o his_o preeminence_n and_o therefore_o may_v do_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n all_o thing_n after_o like_a sort_n and_o fashion_n as_o he_o may_v have_v do_v and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o the_o pope_n to_o fall_v from_o the_o true_a faith_n for_o if_o that_o shall_v happen_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o be_v build_v upon_o he_o must_v needs_o perish_v to_o the_o prose_n whereof_o they_o allege_v a_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o out_o of_o pope_n agathon_n which_o in_o a_o certain_a epistle_n affirm_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v never_o entangle_v with_o any_o erroure_n neither_o have_v any_o time_n swerve_v from_o the_o true_a way_n of_o verity_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v have_v his_o supremacy_n always_o sense_n the_o apostle_n tyme._n also_o they_o say_v likewise_o that_o other_o metropolitane_n and_o archebyshoppe_n be_v subject_n to_o he_o in_o like_a manner_n as_o the_o byshoppe_n and_o prelate_n which_o be_v under_o the_o arcebyshop_n of_o constantinople_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o say_a archbyshoppe_n theu_o they_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v appellation_n they_o affirm_v moreover_o that_o he_o may_v judge_v all_o man_n and_o that_o none_o may_v judge_v he_o neither_o in_o his_o manner_n neither_o in_o faith_n or_o doctrine_n beside_o this_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v bishop_n of_o no_o certain_a place_n neither_o be_v he_o so_o call_v as_o other_o be_v but_o simple_o without_o circumscription_n he_o be_v name_v a_o bishop_n to_o the_o proof_n whereof_o they_o bring_v the_o pope_n himself_o to_o wytnes_n who_o never_o in_o his_o letter_n term_v himself_o bishop_n of_o rome_n also_o they_o affirm_v that_o rome_n only_o have_v be_v call_v the_o sea_n apostolic_a because_o that_o peter_n the_o apostle_n both_o lead_v his_o life_n there_o a_o long_a time_n and_o also_o die_v there_o item_n they_o affirm_v that_o the_o pope_n only_o have_v authority_n to_o call_v a_o counsel_n their_o last_o assertion_n be_v that_o no_o law_n can_v be_v make_v without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o pope_n neither_o any_o thing_n ordain_v in_o the_o church_n then_o they_o conclude_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v all_o the_o aforesaid_a right_n and_o privilege_n of_o peter_n and_o that_o therefore_o all_o man_n owe_v he_o obedience_n and_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o gaynesay_v any_o of_o his_o commandment_n all_o these_o thing_n the_o adherentes_fw-la of_o the_o romysshe_n church_n allege_v for_o the_o mayntenaunce_n of_o the_o pope_n dominion_n and_o authority_n unto_o the_o which_o assertion_n of_o they_o i_o nothing_o doubt_n what_o to_o answer_v but_o afore_o who_o i_o may_v plead_v for_o if_o i_o shall_v make_v answer_n before_o the_o latin_n themselves_o and_o adherentes_fw-la of_o the_o romishe_a church_n what_o rightful_a judgement_n may_v i_o look_v for_o in_o submyt_v myself_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o my_o enemy_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v plead_v afore_o our_o greek_n then_o may_v the_o latin_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o complain_v of_o i_o where_o as_o i_o make_v the_o grecian_n judge_n over_o they_o who_o they_o think_v to_o be_v their_o adversary_n in_o matter_n ecclesiastical_a what_o then_o must_v we_o do_v hide_v very_o god_n truth_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v bury_v up_o in_o silence_n everlasting_a but_o rather_o we_o ought_v to_o speak_v free_o have_v good_a confidence_n and_o wish_v that_o those_o to_o who_o this_o book_n shall_v come_v desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o the_o truth_n for_o sure_o such_o as_o favour_v the_o truth_n shall_v hereby_o also_o profit_n somewhat_o first_o therefore_o concern_v the_o primacy_n of_o peter_n after_o what_o sort_n he_o be_v chief_a of_o that_o holy_a congregation_n or_o what_o privilege_n be_v give_v or_o ought_v unto_o he_o i_o think_v it_o not_o now_o so_o nedeful_a to_o be_v reason_v of_o for_o be_v it_o after_o such_o sort_n and_o so_o great_a yea_o as_o it_o like_v any_o man_n to_o devyse_v yet_o never_o true_o shall_v it_o thereby_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v such_o right_n of_o peter_n where_o by_o he_o may_v rule_v all_o other_o bishop_n which_o be_v our_o adversary_n second_o position_n for_o concern_v the_o pope_n two_o thing_n must_v be_v considere_v the_o one_o that_o he_o be_v bishop_n of_o rome_n by_o the_o which_o title_n the_o sacred_a synod_n term_v he_o the_o other_o that_o he_o will_v be_v chief_a and_o hygh_a of_o all_o bishop_n the_o first_o true_o he_o have_v of_o peter_n that_o be_v to_o weet_v the_o byshoprike_v of_o rome_n but_o the_o other_o his_o primacy_n he_o have_v of_o certain_a father_n and_o king_n which_o for_o desire_v of_o good_a order_n give_v it_o he_o many_o year_n after_o thapostle_n tyme._n and_o to_o prove_v this_o to_o be_v true_a i_o will_v bring_v forth_o wytness_v not_o two_o or_o three_o or_o twice_o so_o many_o but_o sire_v hundred_o and_o thirty_o yea_o and_o choose_v holy_a father_n reed_n the_o xxviii_o canon_n of_o the_o four_o holy_a synod_n or_o council_n of_o calcedonia_n where_o be_v these_o word_n we_o follow_v the_o decree_n

unto_o the_o sea_n of_o old_a rome_n the_o father_n give_v worthy_o the_o chief_a honour_n and_o primacy_n because_o that_o city_n then_o rule_v all_o the_o world_n the_o same_o cause_n move_v the._n 150._o foresay_a bishop_n to_o geve_v the_o like_a honour_n and_o preeminence_n to_o the_o sea_n of_o new_a rome_n judge_v it_o reasonable_a that_o this_o city_n condecorate_v with_o the_o empire_n and_o senate_n imperial_a and_o equal_a in_o dignity_n with_o the_o old_a imperial_a seat_n shall_v as_o much_o excel_v in_o matter_n ecclesiastical_a sing_v that_o it_o be_v the_o next_o unto_o it_o then_o what_o may_v we_o learn_v hereby_o very_o nothing_o else_o but_o that_o the_o superiority_n over_o other_o church_n be_v give_v to_o the_o pope_n not_o by_o the_o apostle_n apostle_n but_o by_o the_o father_n and_o that_o for_o no_o great_a or_o just_a cause_n then_o that_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n at_o that_o time_n have_v dominion_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o the_o canon_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o primacy_n or_o superior_a dygnitie_n be_v give_v to_o the_o sea_n of_o rome_n by_o the_o father_n so_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v therefore_o the_o superiority_n give_v he_o of_o

for_o the_o more_o apparent_a truth_n let_v we_o read_v the_o hundred_o new_a decree_n of_o justinian_n to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o truth_n have_v wytness_n on_o every_o
