I may say that had so mutilate a body seeing the one halfe as it were seperated and seioyned from Peters Apostleship he hauing obliged himselfe by his troth in his right hand to the contrary Againe if Christ would haue Peter to bee an vniuersall Apostle both of Iewes and Gentiles how durst Peter without speciall licence had and obtained of his Author and euident certainties thereof haue brought his calling into such streighths and narrownes so hastily or at any time after that within foure and twenty yeares he should enter in league with Paul to dimit and forgoe the most dificult part and of greater confequence because both that the benefit of calling was not generally offered before but counter-manded which was a mistery as also for the multitude and greatnesse of the Gentiles for there was farre more Gentiles then Iewes whom the Lord suffered to walke in their owne waies while there was light in some measure among the Iewes in particular places and persons although not generally and amongst the greatest and yet such as might make inexcusable and for this cause Peter not vnmindfull of his charge hee had contracted himselfe vnto as hee taught with great liberty and feruency among the Iewes for wheresoeuer he might haue occasion as wee see aboundantly in the Acts of the Apostles so likewise by writing an Epistle hee taught the Iewes Strangers which dwelt heere and there throughout Pontus Galatia Cappadocia Asia and Bythinia contayning himselfe alwayes within the limits and bounds of his calling requesting them to be mindfull of the wordes of the prophesies spoken so long time before for vnto Iewes was it that the oracles of God were committed And so did Paul also being seperated to the worke he was called to was sent a faire off to the Gentiles by the Lord by whom hee had receiued Grace and Apostleship to the obedience of Faith among all the Gentils for his name and therefore cals it the exalting and adorning of his Ministerie to bee called the Apostle of the Gentils working in the Euangell of God that the oblation of the Gentils might bee acceptable sanctified by the holy Spirit not but that it behooueth the word of God to bee first expounded to the Iewes but since they did repell it and thought them vnworthy of eternall life he and Barnabas did conuert themselues vnto the Gentiles whose Preacher Apostle Doctor he cals himselfe yet euer desiring to prouoke his Kinsmen that he might saue some of them And to whom I pray you can we better giue credit vnto then to Peter himselfe for surely although once he had dissembled in that deniall of his Maister in three-fold forme And again in that euill example he had giuen to Barnabas and others when hee is precisely challenged by Paul Now would hee not haue hid his Talent in the earth but that which was spoken to him in the eare hee would haue spoken vpon the house tops especiallie since he had promised by Christs Praier his Faith should not faile yea and it was enioyned him not to deny but being coÌ„uerted to confirme his Brethren in the veritie of those things he had heard and seene as hee did also abundantly yet hee cals himselfe no other then Apostle and Seruant not Superior yea hee names himselfe a fellow-elder with them who are Elders And if it be so how can he he iustly said to bee Lord and Prince ouer his Brethren and rest of the Elders shall wee giue him more then either Christ bestowed vpon him or that hee would claime himselfe or any of the rest of the Apostles and Elders would acknowledge him to be And which is more he requests them to feede the Lordes flocke which is amongst them taking diligent heede thereunto not by constraint but willingly not for filthy lucre but of a readie mind not as though they were Lords ouer Gods Heritage but to be examples to the Flocke that when the cheefe Shepheard shal appear they may receiue an incorruptible Crowne of Glorie he forbids Dominion Lordships ouer the Heritage of God if he had so done himselfe and affected Primacy in the Church which was farre from the mind of this Saint of God hee had wrongfully forbid that whereof he was culpable himselfe Likewise who will not esteeme it a great absurdity to repute all the Apostles which then liued and all the company of the faithfull to be Peters members and all things that appertaine and belong to a spirituall body to be communicated by him to them which must be graunted and that of most necessary consequence followeth if we condiscend Peter to be head of the church but this of Paul onely in place of all that might be brought in is plainly refuted who doth esteeme himselfe nothing inferior to the highest Apostles here is no exception of Peter or Primacy which Paul such is his modestie wold haue don if Peter had bin superior And who would not contend Paule to be Head of the Church of the Gentiles rather then Peter because it is proued already he is appointed both by Christ as also with consent of those which were thought to bee Pillars of the Church and in price had conditioned to be the Apostle of the Gentiles Now it is certaine wee are not of the Iewes but of the Gentiles if there should bee any of the Apostles Head of our Church it must therefore be Paul who did correct Peters error in Antiochia the first place of his alleaged seat and residence to whom also euen their own great Bulwark Tho Aquinas 2. secunda quest 33. sect 4. Gloss. ad Gal. 2. 11. doth make Paul equal but not superior Besides this Paul was sent to Rome by God that he should testifie of Iesus Christ as he had done already in Ierusalem whom the Lord did encourage to that effect the which also by an Angell of God sent to him by night was reiterate saying Feare not Paul it behooueth thee to be presented to Caesar And further Paul was at Rome and taught there two yeares and the Romans did thereby come to that perfection of Religion that their Faith at that time was spoken of in all the world Here is a speciall designation of Paul to goe thither whither we heare of none to be formerly sent appointed thereto by two seuerall Mandates tending to one Scope who did enter into Rome exercised the Office from morning till euening expounding the Law and Prophets testifying and perswading of the kingdome of God in Iesus Christ and made his aboad there during the space aforesaid in a house hired for himselfe and receiued all that came vnto him teaching with all boldnesse of speech without let what can bee more craued in a good Bishop then which we find in Paul at Rome but in all this time there is no mention made neither by Paul of Peter neither Salutation sent to him in
