of_o rome_n about_o a_o primacy_n of_o order_n but_o about_o a_o supremacy_n of_o power_n i_o shall_v declare_v my_o sense_n in_o four_o conclusion_n first_o that_o st._n peter_n have_v a_o fix_a

supremacy_n or_o superiority_n of_o power_n and_o single_a jurisdiction_n over_o any_o other_o apostle_n to_o this_o purpose_n i_o have_v lay_v down_o these_o four_o ground_n in_o my_o book_n of_o schism_n garded_n pag._n 27._o first_o that_o each_o apostle_n have_v the_o same_o power_n by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n commission_n second_o that_o st._n peter_n never_o exercise_v a_o single_a jurisdiction_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n three_o that_o st._n peter_n have_v not_o his_o commission_n grant_v to_o he_o and_o his_o successor_n as_o any_o ordinary_a pastor_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o delegate_n for_o term_n of_o life_n four_o that_o during_o the_o history_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o sovereignty_n of_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n rest_v not_o in_o any_o single_a apostle_n but_o in_o the_o apostolical_a college_n hitherto_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o controversy_n between_o he_o and_o i_o or_o between_o any_o person_n of_o judgement_n and_o ingenuity_n my_o three_o assertion_n be_v that_o some_o father_n and_o schoolman_n who_o be_v no_o swear_a vassal_n to_o the_o roman_a bishop_n do_v affirm_v that_o
