bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v succeed_v st._n peter_n in_o such_o a_o supreme_a power_n and_o authority_n and_o be_v now_o the_o head_n of_o all_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v not_o consistent_a with_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n but_o direct_o contrary_a to_o they_o this_o be_v prove_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o for_o if_o st._n peter_n have_v no_o such_o universal_a power_n and_o authority_n over_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o he_o have_v not_o than_o the_o roman_a bishop_n have_v no_o ground_n to_o pretend_v to_o succeed_v he_o in_o such_o a_o supreme_a power_n and_o authority_n this_o be_v altogether_o vain_a see_v there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o the_o former_a and_o there_o be_v no_o proof_n at_o all_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v st._n peter_n heir_n and_o successor_n and_o be_v the_o only_a master_n of_o that_o power_n and_o authority_n which_o he_o have_v in_o the_o church_n and_o how_o then_o can_v they_o assume_v such_o a_o universal_a power_n and_o authority_n which_o he_o have_v not_o heb._n 5.4_o and_o no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n unto_o himself_o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n and_o how_o then_o can_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n just_o assume_v to_o themselves_o such_o a_o supreme_a and_o universal_a power_n over_o all_o the_o church_n till_o they_o can_v show_v some_o divine_a commission_n for_o it_o and_o for_o such_o authority_n they_o have_v no_o plea_n nor_o colour_n from_o the_o sacred_a word_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o clear_a place_n in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o ever_o st._n peter_n be_v at_o rome_n and_o he_o write_v no_o epistle_n to_o they_o to_o confer_v any_o power_n upon_o they_o and_o in_o those_o epistle_n that_o he_o write_v he_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o such_o power_n and_o supreme_a authority_n that_o they_o be_v to_o have_v st._n peter_n be_v chief_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o

jerusalem_n and_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o place_n may_v have_v have_v a_o better_a title_n to_o be_v his_o successor_n in_o a_o high_a manner_n than_o other_o if_o any_o be_v to_o have_v be_v so_o than_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n can_v have_v because_o he_o be_v chief_o and_o primary_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o jew_n st._n peter_n be_v also_o at_o antioch_n some_o time_n gal._n 2.11_o and_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o place_n may_v allege_v as_o good_a a_o plea_n to_o be_v his_o successor_n as_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n can_v again_o st._n paul_n write_v a_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o several_a epistle_n from_o rome_n but_o no_o intimation_n in_o they_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o place_n only_o be_v to_o be_v st._n peter_n successor_n and_o to_o have_v a_o universal_a power_n and_o authority_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o st._n paul_n know_v nothing_o of_o any_o such_o universal_a power_n that_o the_o roman_a bishop_n be_v to_o have_v for_o if_o he_o have_v know_v that_o our_o bless_a lord_n have_v design_v they_o to_o be_v the_o universal_a pastor_n over_o all_o the_o church_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o
