have_v do_v who_o blood_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v drink_v thus_o much_o in_o brief_a to_o the_o nine_o particular_n of_o a._n s._n his_o first_o argument_n by_o which_o i_o perceive_v he_o

judge_n and_o the_o next_o thing_n he_o undertake_v be_v to_o prove_v peter_n to_o be_v the_o rock_n or_o foundation_n upon_o which_o christ_n build_v his_o church_n and_o to_o accomplish_v this_o design_n he_o ramble_n through_o several_a language_n into_o which_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v translate_v and_o in_o the_o conclusion_n he_o say_v a_o great_a lie_n to_o peter_n then_o christ_n say_v upon_o thou_o i_o will_v build_v my_o church_n etc._n etc._n when_o none_o of_o the_o several_a language_n which_o he_o make_v use_v of_o to_o prove_v it_o say_v any_o such_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o own_o interpretation_n of_o they_o and_o indeed_o its_o blasphemy_n in_o a._n s._n to_o affirm_v it_o but_o then_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o primary_n rock_n and_o peter_n the_o secondary_a rock_n reply_n but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v that_o peter_n shall_v be_v a_o secondary_a rock_n for_o a._n s._n can_v prove_v that_o god_n ever_o ordain_v or_o appoint_v a_o secondary_a rock_n to_o build_v his_o church_n on_o neither_o do_v we_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n read_v of_o a_o secondary_a rock_n once_o mention_v for_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v the_o contrary_a say_v another_o foundation_n can_v no_o man_n lay_v then_o that_o which_o be_v already_o lay_v 1_o cor._n 3.11_o which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n so_o he_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n and_o a._n s._n his_o affirmation_n be_v nothing_o worth_a for_o his_o purpose_n nay_o it_o be_v worse_a than_o nothing_o for_o it_o discover_v his_o deceit_n and_o ignorance_n though_o i_o perceive_v his_o intent_n and_o aim_n be_v to_o gratify_v his_o master_n the_o pope_n by_o plead_v his_o supremacy_n under_o pretence_n of_o set_v peter_n above_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o indeed_o its_o manifest_a enough_o that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o set_v up_o the_o pope_n as_o lord_n and_o master_n over_o god_n heritage_n gentile_a like_a contrary_a to_o that_o say_n of_o our_o one_o lord_n christ_n viz._n be_v not_o many_o master_n for_o one_o be_v your_o master_n even_o christ_n and_o all_o you_o be_v brethren_n mat_n 23.8_o so_o that_o peter_n be_v not_o set_v up_o as_o a_o visible_a head_n over_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n as_o a._n s._n say_v the_o pope_n be_v over_o the._n church_n of_o rome_n neither_o be_v peter_n above_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n but_o a_o fellow-servant_n with_o they_o and_o they_o all_o fellow-worker_n together_o with_o christ_n 2_o cor._n 6.1_o and_o paul_n be_v not_o at_o all_o inferior_a to_o peter_n in_o relation_n to_o his_o spiritual_a authority_n for_o he_o himself_o say_v yet_o not_o boast_o but_o true_o that_o he_o come_v not_o behind_o the_o very_o chief_a apostle_n 2_o cor._n 12.11_o so_o that_o peter_n be_v no_o more_o the_o rock_n then_o paul_n be_v and_o what_o be_v paul_n or_o what_o be_v apollo_n or_o peter_n either_o but_o minister_n by_o who_o the_o church_n believe_v 1_o cor._n 3.5_o so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o set_v themselves_o one_o above_o another_o for_o they_o abase_v themselves_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v exalt_v neither_o do_v they_o preach_v themselves_o but_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n and_z themselves_z servants_z etc._n etc._n 2_o cor._n 4.5_o by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o pope_n do_v not_o true_o succeed_v peter_n in_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o who_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o mind_n of_o christ_n who_o make_v himself_o of_o

and_o have_v also_o lay_v themselves_o open_a enough_o to_o the_o view_n of_o all_o who_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o see_v so_o that_o i_o need_v not_o produce_v any_o far_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o

they_o who_o hear_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o hear_v christ_n but_o sure_o when_o a._n s._n begin_v this_o work_n of_o decide_v controversy_n he_o have_v forget_v that_o the_o church_n

which_o book_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o judge_n be_v his_o own_o only_a work_n and_o not_o the_o church_n in_o which_o we_o find_v he_o condemn_v himself_o for_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o be_v do_v for_o as_o appear_v by_o his_o aforesaid_a title_n himself_o undertake_v to_o decide_v controversy_n and_o in_o his_o 6_o chapter_n he_o affirm_v '_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o only_a judge_n
