live_a god_n who_o peter_n confess_v if_o peter_n then_o be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n down_o must_v fall_v the_o title_n of_o the_o universal_a bishop_n of_o all_o the_o church_n

the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o general_a counsel_n peter_n never_o claim_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n he_o never_o have_v that_o authority_n give_v he_o nay_o it_o be_v

peter_n never_o have_v this_o authority_n i_o marvel_v much_o how_o the_o papist_n can_v possible_o convey_v that_o to_o the_o pope_n which_o his_o predecessor_n never_o have_v for_o they_o affirm_v

it_o that_o lordship_n and_o dominion_n belong_v unto_o the_o king_n of_o nation_n the_o power_n therefore_o of_o bind_v and_o lose_v be_v not_o commit_v to_o peter_n alone_o but_o to_o all_o the_o

be_v prove_v before_o that_o christ_n give_v the_o power_n of_o bind_v &_o lose_v to_o all_o the_o apostle_n and_o why_o at_o this_o time_n christ_n say_v unto_o peter_n that_o he_o will_v give_v to_o he_o the_o key_n by_o special_a name_n the_o reason_n be_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n because_o when_o christ_n demand_v of_o his_o apostle_n who_o say_v you_o that_o i_o be_o simon_n peter_n answer_v thou_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n for_o peter_n answer_v in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o the_o apostle_n and_o christ_n likewise_o give_v he_o the_o key_n in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o and_o so_o cyprian_a and_o augustine_n two_o of_o the_o father_n expound_v it_o that_o christ_n do_v it_o not_o for_o this_o purpose_n to_o prefer_v one_o man_n before_o a_o other_o but_o so_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n for_o so_o say_v cyprian_n that_o god_n in_o the_o person_n of_o one_o give_v the_o key_n to_o all_o to_o signify_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n augustine_n say_v when_o the_o apostle_n be_v all_o ask_v only_a peter_n answer_v thou_o be_v christ_n and_o it_o be_v say_v to_o he_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o key_n as_o though_o he_o alone_o have_v receive_v the_o power_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v whereas_o he_o be_v one_o stand_v one_o for_o all_o and_o he_o receive_v the_o other_o with_o all_o as_o bearing_z the_o person_n of_o unity_n therefore_o one_o for_o all_o because_o there_o be_v unity_n in_o all_o i_o trust_v these_o father_n will_v satisfy_v the_o papist_n if_o they_o be_v not_o obstinate_o malicious_a and_o froward_a child_n that_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n of_o peter_n gain_v no_o superiority_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n cap_n act_n 15_o 5_o
