Againe he was there to confirme with his bloud the Doctrine taught and was obedient to the Emperour and suffered death at his command whereby he left an ensample for doctrine and manner of liuing to his successors Now let vs see how the Pope succeedeth Peter He teacheth not Christ the onely meanes of saluation but his own traditions merits worshipping of Saints c. and persecuteth and putteth them to death that obey not his decrees and commands Secondly he yeeldeth not obedience to authority as Peter taught and practised 1 Peter 2. 13.

We haue a manifest Prophecie that Sathan should be bound which ranged at pleasure in the vnchristian World that is before Christ who shall lighten things that are hid in darkenesse 1 Cor. 4. 5. and Luk. 1. 79. Ioh. 1. 5. Ioh. 3. 19. This is condemnation that light is come into the World and men loued darkenesse c. Act. 17. 30. The time of this ignorance God regarded not but now biddeth all men Euery c. Now this light is Christ and the preaching of the Gospell Sathan therefore must be bound one thousand yeeres from Christs preaching that he should not through the darkenesse of error vexe men as he had done though their bodies be not freed from the Crosse and persecution that they may be like their Master Now the Apostles and Bishops of Rome with other Bishops Ierusalem Antioch Constantinople and the rest that succeeded not at Rome but wheresoeuer for preaching Christ crucified were so occupied what with preaching and vnder the Crosse for the space of the first 300. yeeres as they had no leysure to dreame of Supremacy After which time as Rest breeds Rust so by little and little they grew ambitious and now and then one Bishop or other would affect priority so as about the end of the next 300. yeeres they began to desire primacy but not supremacy As Policarpe Bishop of Ierusalem challenged the first place 426. yeeres after Christ Gelacius Bishop of Rome after him about 445.
