A33943	A modest enquiry, whether St. Peter were ever at Rome, and bishop of that church? wherein, I. the arguments of Cardinall Bellarmine and others, for the affirmative are considered, II. some considerations taken notice of that render the negative highly probable.	Care, Henry, 1646-1688.	1687 (1687)	Wing C529; ESTC R7012	75,600	120

c. 6. In the 2d Year of his Reign saith St. Hierom in the 3d saith Onuphrius no crys Fasciculus Temporum it was in the 4th Year of his Reign and so says Nauclerus Nay upon my word says Paschasius de vit sanct it was in the 14th year of Claudius's Reign But as the aged Lady could see the Needle but not the Barn so tho they are no surer of the Year they are exact as to the Day it was precisely the 18th Day of January this you may be sure of for the Church of Rome that is Pope Paul the 4th as long ago forsooth as the year of our Lord 1557. thought fit to appoint that Day to be kept Festival on that occasion and accordingly you may see it set down in the Calendarium Catholicum 2. Question How long did Peter continue Bishop of Rome Answ 27 Years saith St. Hierom 29 saith Venerable Bede 25 Years 7 Months and 8 Days says Fasciculus Temporum just 25 Years 2 Months and 3 Days says the Pontifical pretended to be written by Infallible Pope Damasus But heark ye Friend if he came to Rome the 18th of January and continued Bishop thereof 25 Years 2 Months and 3 Days then he must be put to Death on the 22th of March and if so why does the Church Celebrate his Martyrdom on the 29th of June Ay but Damasus is mistaken saith Binius with the consent of Barnious Peter did not hold the Chair twenty five Years two Months and three Days it was exactly twenty four Years five Months and twelve Days and so he might be Martyred on the 29th of June Very good this indeed avoids one Inconveniency but it dashes upon another For if he were put to Death on the 29th of June then he could not dye in the fourteenth Year of Nero but almost all Writers of the story attest that he dyed in the 14th Year of Nero Now the 14th Year of Nero began the 13th of October and on the 10th of June following Nero being declared a publick Enemy kill'd himself so that if Peter were put to Death according to the former Opinion on the 22th of March it might be in Nero's 14th Year But if it were on the 29th of June it must be either in his 13th or some other foregoing Year which is contrary to the whole stream of your Evidence or else after Nero's Death which likewise will utterly marr the credit of the whole story for no man ever talk'd of Peter's being at Rome but he also affirm'd that he suffer'd there under Nero. 3. Question In what Year after our Lords Passion was Peter Martyr'd Ans It was in the 38th Year after the Passion of our Lord says the Pontifical the 37th says Nicephorus no crys Binnius it was in the 35th Year after the Passion An. Chr. 69. And yet Onuphrius is confident it was exactly 34 Years 3 Months and 4 Days after our Lords Passion the 29th of June An. Dom. 68. 4. Question Were Peter and Paul put to Death at the same time Answ Yes on the same Day says the Pontifical not the same Year tho say Prudentius and St. Augustine I will tell you how it was says Binnius it was the same Day of the Month indeed though not the same Year Well but if one out-liv'd the other at least a year since Paul seems likest to be the survivor because as St. Peter was much the elder man for he was Marryed when first call'd to the Apostleship whereas Paul at the stoning of Stephen is expresly said to be a young man so also if he were Prince of the Apostles Soveraign Head of the Christians and Bishop of Rome he was on that account likest to incur the fury of Nero. If I say Paul did as he might for what appears to the contrary outlive Peter why might not he have been as fit to succeed as another Would it it not be very hard that Paul who avow'd himself not inferior to the chiefest of the Apostles should in his old Age be made Subject to a Linus a Cletus or a Clement Or suppose he was put to Death before or with Peter yet if Peter did as they say constitute a Supream Pastor over the Universal Church to succeed him why should he not have committed that Charge to some other of the Apostles especially since all Ecclesiastical Historians seem agreed That St. John who is honoured with the Title of the Beloved Disciple did survive for many years after and consequently must become inferiour to some one that was no Apostle But not only Prudentius tells us That Paul suffered a Day after Peter but Abdias one of our Adversaries Worthy Authors avers it was two years after nay if that be true which the same Abdias relates That after the Crucifying of Peter Paul remained in his free Custody at Rome mentioned in the 28th of the Acts which was as St. Hierom witnesseth in the third or fourth year of Nero then it must be ten years betwixt the Martyrdom of Peter and Paul forasmuch as it is by all Writers acknowledged That Paul suffered in the last that is the 14th year of Nero. Vspergensis saith these Apostles were both Executed in one Year but he noteth not that they dyed in one Day Sabellicus saith both in one Year and one Day some say as St. Ambrose they dyed together both in one Place but Dionysius seems to say otherwise telling us that the one bad the other farewel when they were parted asunder going to Death most Writers charge Nero as the Author of both their Deaths but Linus saith That Agrippa commanded Peter to be put to Death which must be at Jerusalem because by his perswasion four of the said Agrippa 's Concubines refused to live any longer in such unchast life with the King 5. Question But who indeed was Peter's next and immediate Successar Answ Linus a Tuscan saith Platina for eleven Years three Months and twelve Days who was succeeded by Cletus a Roman for twelve Years one Month and eleven Days after which the See was vacant twenty Days and then came Clement a Roman who held it nine Years two Months and ten Days And Binius saith that Linus was Pope but eleven Years two Months and twenty three Days and quarrels with Damasus for assigning to Cletus twelve Years one Month and eleven Days But the difference is not only in point of time of their several Pontificates though yet a Days difference where so great an exactness is pretended is enough to discredit all the Relation but there is as much Cloud and Debate in the very order of Succession For Tertullian Lib. de Praescript and St. Hierom on the 25th of Isaiah place Clement next and immediately after St. Peter And Clement himself if you hearken to the before-recited Epistle in his Name to St. James avers that Peter most solemnly conferred that Dignity upon him nor does Platina or Onuphrius forbear to tell us the Circumstances thereof so that
