with_o the_o loss_n of_o thy_o life_n and_o seal_v with_o thy_o blood_n and_o by_o the_o history_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n we_o find_v his_o extraordinary_a diligence_n to_o spread_v

encourage_v the_o repentance_n of_o those_o that_o have_v fall_v in_o a_o hour_n of_o temptation_n we_o may_v observe_v far_o from_o the_o sin_n and_o fall_n of_o this_o apostle_n what_o little_a reason_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v to_o boast_v of_o the_o pretend_a succession_n of_o their_o pope_n to_o the_o apostle_n peter_n they_o be_v his_o successor_n in_o deny_v christ_n the_o

superiority_n that_o peter_n have_v over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n not_o till_o christ_n ascension_n to_o be_v sure_a for_o then_o there_o will_v have_v be_v two_o head_n of_o the_o church_n nor_o afterward_o for_o he_o be_v only_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o circumcision_n and_o st._n paul_n the_o doctor_n of_o the_o gentile_n withstand_v he_o to_o the_o face_n and_o ordain_v pastor_n without_o he_o 11.5_o gal._n 2._o and_o 2_o cor._n 11.5_o and_o tell_v we_o he_o be_v not_o inferior_a to_o the_o chief_a apostle_n and_o peter_n be_v send_v as_o a_o messenger_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n act_n 8.14_o and_o when_o he_o be_v accuse_v he_o plead_v his_o own_o cause_n before_o the_o other_o disciple_n and_o submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o council_n act_v 11._o moreover_o when_o there_o be_v division_n in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n that_o some_o be_v for_o paul_n and_o some_o for_o apollo_n and_o some_o for_o cephas_n or_o peter_n we_o do_v not_o find_v the_o apostle_n paul_n direct_v they_o to_o centre_n all_o in_o peter_n he_o own_v no_o such_o authority_n and_o supremacy_n in_o he_o above_o other_o as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v invest_v he_o and_o his_o successor_n in_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v imitate_v peter_n too_o much_o in_o the_o denial_n of_o christ_n but_o in_o little_a else_o that_o we_o know_v of_o again_o from_o the_o sin_n and_o fall_n of_o peter_n we_o may_v observe_v the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o suit_v his_o temptation_n to_o the_o particular_a temper_n of_o man_n and_o so_o to_o season_v and_o time_n his_o temptation_n as_o to_o have_v the_o great_a probability_n of_o success_n he_o take_v confident_a peter_n in_o a_o fit_a of_o fear_n at_o the_o apprehension_n and_o arraignment_n of_o his_o master_n who_o at_o another_o time_n will_v have_v reply_v to_o the_o devil_n as_o christ_n do_v to_o he_o when_o he_o act_v the_o devil_n part_n get_v thou_o behind_o i_o satan_n our_o great_a adversary_n the_o devil_n know_v how_o to_o assault_v we_o with_o suitable_a temptation_n and_o in_o what_o circumstance_n we_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o yield_v we_o have_v therefore_o need_v to_o watch_v and_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n we_o may_v also_o observe_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o permit_v the_o strong_a confidence_n to_o be_v shame_v and_o baffle_v let_v we_o therefore_o remember_v that_o none_o be_v so_o likely_a to_o enter_v into_o temptation_n and_o be_v overcome_v as_o those_o who_o be_v least_o afraid_a of_o it_o none_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o fall_v than_o those_o who_o be_v most_o confident_a of_o their_o own_o stand_n none_o more_o ready_a to_o yield_v to_o temptation_n than_o such_o as_o presume_v they_o shall_v never_o yield_v moreover_o in_o that_o after_o peter_n first_o denial_n he_o hear_v the_o cock_n crow_n and_o do_v not_o take_v warning_n we_o may_v learn_v that_o whoever_o sin_n against_o the_o light_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o conscience_n may_v be_v so_o far_o harden_v and_o stupefy_v by_o it_o as_o that_o the_o plain_a warning_n for_o a_o time_n at_o least_o shall_v be_v disregarge_v and_o have_v no_o influence_n one_o will_v wonder_v after_o what_o christ_n have_v tell_v he_o concern_v his_o denial_n before_o the_o crow_v of_o the_o cock_n that_o he_o do_v not_o recollect_v it_o when_o he_o first_o hear_v the_o cock_n to_o crow_n we_o may_v further_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n of_o corruption_n and_o grace_n in_o the_o best_a saint_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o peter_n resolution_n to_o die_v with_o christ_n rather_o than_o deny_v he_o proceed_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o grace_n and_o true_a affection_n to_o his_o lord_n i_o question_v not_o but_o he_o very_o think_v he_o shall_v do_v as_o he_o say_v but_o his_o confidence_n of_o himself_o whereby_o he_o presume_v on_o his_o own_o strength_n have_v a_o sinful_a mixture_n with_o it_o which_o occasion_v his_o fall_n it_o therefore_o concern_v all_o even_o the_o best_a man_n that_o they_o watch_v and_o pray_v lest_o they_o enter_v into_o temptation_n but_o consider_v that_o though_o the_o sin_n of_o peter_n be_v great_a yet_o his_o repentance_n be_v not_o long_o delay_v we_o may_v compare_v it_o with_o some_o other_o instance_n in_o scripture_n and_o observe_v that_o sin_n by_o the_o surprisal_n of_o a_o sudden_a temptation_n be_v much_o soon_o repent_v of_o than_o where_o the_o sin_n be_v presumptuous_a deliberate_a and_o contrive_v let_v we_o take_v the_o instance_n of_o
