who_o do_v not_o know_v or_o not_o consider_v that_o what_o be_v deliver_v by_o peter_n the_o prince_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o be_v keep_v till_o this_o very_a day_n

elsewhere_o especial_o since_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o none_o have_v institute_v church_n in_o all_o italy_n france_n spain_n africa_n sicily_n and_o the_o interjacent_a island_n but_o those_o which_o the_o venerable_a apostle_n peter_n or_o his_o successor_n have_v ordain_v priest_n or_o let_v they_o search_v whether_o any_o of_o the_o other_o apostle_n be_v find_v or_o read_v to_o have_v teach_v in_o those_o province_n if_o they_o do_v not_o read_v this_o because_o they_o no_o where_n find_v it_o they_o ought_v to_o follow_v that_o which_o the_o roman_a church_n observe_v from_o whence_o no_o doubt_n they_o have_v their_o original_a least_o in_o give_v themselves_o self_n up_o to_o the_o assertion_n of_o stranger_n they_o may_v seem_v to_o wave_v the_o head_n of_o their_o

priest_n institute_v church_n through_o all_o italy_n france_n spain_n africa_n sicily_n and_o the_o interjacent_a island_n and_o therefore_o that_o these_o aught_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o roman_a

annal_n do_v not_o full_o satisfy_v you_o let_v we_o interpret_v innocent_n mind_n by_o his_o own_o word_n and_o show_v that_o peter_n only_o preach_v in_o the_o west_n in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o the_o most_o holy_a pope_n assert_n he_o to_o have_v preach_v innocent_n speak_v in_o the_o place_n before_o cite_v concern_v that_o apostolical_a preach_v by_o which_o church_n be_v institute_v in_o the_o western_a region_n not_o of_o that_o which_o the_o church_n have_v after_o they_o be_v once_o constitute_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o paul_n the_o apostle_n himself_o in_o the_o

full_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n yea_o so_o have_v i_o strive_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n not_o where_o christ_n be_v name_v lest_o i_o shall_v build_v upon_o another_o man_n foundation_n but_o as_o it_o be_v write_v to_o who_o he_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o from_o which_o word_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o paul_n reckon_v no_o church_n in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o he_o have_v preach_v to_o wherein_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v before_o which_o be_v so_o and_o evident_o so_o from_o his_o own_o word_n the_o roman_a church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reckon_v as_o one_o of_o those_o which_o be_v institute_v by_o paul_n for_o that_o be_v institute_v before_o his_o come_n to_o the_o city_n as_o be_v plain_a from_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n which_o as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o it_o show_v be_v write_v before_o he_o come_v to_o rome_n and_o yet_o he_o assert_v that_o even_o then_o when_o he_o write_v there_o be_v a_o church_n institute_v at_o rome_n because_o chap._n 26._o he_o send_v his_o salutation_n to_o many_o of_o the_o faithful_a at_o rome_n and_o chap._n 1._o he_o derect_v his_o epistle_n to_o all_o that_o be_v in_o rome_n belove_v of_o

among_o those_o which_o he_o by_o his_o preach_n institute_v which_o innocent_a the_o first_o know_v of_o declare_v that_o peter_n only_o preach_v at_o rome_n because_o he_o have_v find_v that_o the_o

to_o those_o part_n so_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o paul_n be_v no_o argument_n against_o peter_n institute_v those_o church_n which_o way_n of_o preach_v and_o no_o other_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o
