my_o kingdom_n be_v of_o this_o world_n then_o will_v my_o servant_n fight_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o jew_n but_o now_o be_v my_o kingdom_n not_o from_o hence_o which_o i_o think_v be_v a_o very_a powerful_a argument_n against_o he_o who_o call_v himself_o christ_n vicar_n and_o lord_n it_o over_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n contrary_a to_o christ_n command_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a christian_n for_o almost_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o christ_n but_o to_o proceed_v since_o we_o can_v find_v in_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v with_o his_o disciple_n in_o the_o flesh_n any_o thing_n to_o warrant_v our_o belief_n of_o st._n peter_n be_v the_o head_n etc._n etc._n we_o will_v go_v one_o step_n further_o and_o inquire_v if_o after_o his_o resurrection_n which_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n and_o confirmation_n of_o all_o he_o have_v deliver_v to_o they_o whether_o he_o do_v deliver_v to_o st._n peter_n any_o power_n or_o commission_n more_o than_o he_o do_v to_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o disciple_n in_o the_o three_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o 28_o of_o st._n matthew_n we_o thus_o read_v all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o i_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v they_o to_o observe_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o and_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n now_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o here_o be_v a_o commission_n give_v but_o to_o who_o be_v it_o deliver_v to_o peter_n james_n or_o john_n etc._n etc._n no_o but_o to_o they_o all_o in_o those_o word_n go_v you_o etc._n etc._n neither_o do_v we_o find_v any_o distinction_n though_o st._n peter_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v there_o at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o you_o may_v read_v verse_n the_o 16_o and_o 17_o of_o that_o chapter_n then_o the_o eleven_o disciple_n go_v away_o to_o galilee_n into_o a_o mountain_n where_o jesus_n have_v appoint_v they_o and_o when_o they_o see_v he_o they_o worship_v he_o but_o some_o doubt_v and_o in_o st._n mark_v the_o 16_o and_o the_o 14_o and_o 15._o verse_n and_o afterward_o he_o appear_v unto_o the_o eleven_o as_o they_o sit_v at_o meat_n and_o upbraid_v they_o with_o their_o unbelief_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o they_o which_o have_v see_v he_o after_o he_o be_v rise_v and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o go_v you_o into_o all_o the_o world_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n so_o that_o here_o be_v again_o the_o same_o commission_n but_o without_o any_o pre-eminence_n give_v to_o either_o of_o they_o st._n luke_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o for_o that_o place_n of_o st._n john_n which_o the_o romanist_n brag_v so_o much_o of_o from_o our_o saviour_n bide_v st._n peter_n three_o time_n feed_v his_o sheep_n it_o be_v i_o think_v impossible_a to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o from_o thence_o our_o saviour_n intend_v he_o to_o be_v the_o head_n and_o chief_a of_o the_o apostle_n but_o rather_o as_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a to_o strengthen_v his_o faith_n that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o better_o enable_v to_o go_v through_o with_o a_o difficult_a work_n for_o we_o find_v our_o saviour_n tell_v he_o in_o the_o two_o follow_a verse_n be_v the_o 18_o and_o 19_o of_o the_o last_o of_o st._n john_n what_o he_o be_v to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a to_o suppose_v that_o our_o saviour_n know_v his_o weakness_n from_o his_o former_a deny_v he_o may_v upon_o that_o account_n lie_v a_o more_o strict_a command_n upon_o he_o than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n beside_o it_o be_v not_o unreasonable_a to_o suppose_v from_o those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n viz._n simon_n son_n of_o ionas_n love_v thou_o i_o which_o be_v as_o oft_o repeat_v as_o his_o bide_v he_o feed_v his_o sheep_n may_v be_v to_o upbraid_v he_o for_o his_o former_a deny_v he_o whereby_o he_o may_v take_v notice_n he_o have_v give_v our_o bless_a lord_n sufficient_a reason_n to_o doubt_v and_o as_o he_o have_v notwithstanding_o his_o resolution_n to_o the_o contrary_a deny_v he_o with_o oath_n and_o imprecation_n three_o several_a time_n so_o possible_a that_o may_v be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n do_v likewise_o trible_a his_o command_n etc._n etc._n and_o to_o i_o it_o appear_v plain_a that_o our_o saviour_n trible_a command_n of_o bide_v st._n peter_n feed_v his_o sheep_n can_v have_v no_o relation_n to_o his_o be_v make_v head_n of_o the_o church_n notwithstanding_o that_o papistical_a objection_n viz._n to_o who_o do_v our_o saviour_n so_o oft_o bid_v feed_v his_o sheep_n &c_n &c_n which_o objection_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v be_v a_o very_a strong_a sheepish_a one_o though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o know_v it_o be_v urge_v as_o a_o strong_a argument_n to_o confirm_v as_o they_o say_v the_o commission_n which_o our_o saviour_n give_v to_o st._n peter_n in_o those_o word_n viz._n thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n etc._n etc._n and_o they_o tell_v we_o our_o saviour_n give_v such_o a_o particular_a charge_n to_o st._n peter_n must_v import_v something_o more_o than_o ordinary_a which_o indeed_o be_v very_o true_a and_o i_o think_v the_o reason_n as_o plain_a for_o as_o i_o before_o observe_v our_o saviour_n well_o know_v his_o faith_n want_v his_o special_a assistance_n take_v more_o than_o ordinary_a care_n that_o his_o faith_n may_v be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o confession_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o rock_n our_o saviour_n mean_v and_o to_o that_o purpose_n we_o read_v in_o the_o 22._o of_o st._n luke_n the_o 31._o and_o 32._o verse_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v simon_n simon_n behold_v satan_n have_v desire_v to_o have_v you_o that_o he_o may_v sift_v you_o as_o wheat_n but_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o and_o when_o thou_o be_v convert_v strengthen_v thy_o brethren_n by_o which_o word_n we_o find_v he_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o convert_v nor_o indeed_o any_o of_o they_o until_o after_o the_o resurrection_n for_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v foretell_v matthew_n the_o 26._o verse_n the_o 31._o i_o will_v smite_v the_o shepherd_n and_o the_o sheep_n of_o the_o flock_n shall_v be_v scatter_v abroad_o so_o after_o the_o jew_n have_v put_v our_o saviour_n to_o death_n we_o find_v they_o disperse_v and_o scatter_v up_o and_o down_o for_o indeed_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v well_o what_o to_o make_v of_o the_o matter_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o discourse_n our_o saviour_n have_v with_o some_o of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v go_v to_o emmaus_n which_o be_v distant_a from_o jerusalem_n some_o threescore_o furlong_n luke_n the_o 24._o from_o the_o 13._o to_o the_o 25._o verse_n and_o at_o the_o 21._o verse_n but_o we_o trust_v that_o it_o have_v be_v he_o which_o shall_v have_v redeem_a israel_n etc._n etc._n by_o which_o it_o appear_v they_o be_v still_o in_o doubt_n but_o after_o christ_n ascension_n and_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o promise_a comforter_n among_o they_o we_o find_v they_o be_v very_o bold_a and_o courageous_a and_o some_o thousand_o be_v convert_v act_v the_o 2._o and_o the_o 41._o at_o st._n peter_n first_o sermon_n from_o which_o some_o learned_a man_n have_v understand_v those_o word_n upon_o this_o rock_n i_o will_v build_v my_o church_n etc._n etc._n as_o a_o particular_a favour_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_n st._n peter_n in_o make_v he_o the_o first_o instrument_n of_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o his_o church_n not_o at_o rome_n but_o jerusalem_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o mother_n church_n and_o as_o our_o saviour_n be_v to_o the_o jew_n so_o may_v the_o misunderstanding_n that_o place_n of_o scripture_n viz._n upon_o this_o rock_n etc._n etc._n be_v a_o stumble_a block_n possible_o to_o the_o papist_n and_o for_o those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n bid_v st._n peter_n feed_v his_o sheep_n it_o can_v possible_o without_o take_v leave_n of_o our_o understanding_n be_v understand_v as_o our_o roman_a friend_n will_v persuade_v we_o but_o much_o rather_o from_o their_o be_v so_o oft_o repeat_v we_o may_v reasonable_a gather_v our_o saviour_n purpose_n be_v they_o shall_v make_v the_o great_a and_o deep_a impression_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o so_o he_o may_v not_o forget_v this_o his_o last_o command_n as_o he_o forget_v he_o matthew_n the_o 26.72_o ver_fw-la and_o again_o he_o deny_v he_o with_o a_o oath_n i_o do_v not_o know_v the_o man._n and_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o our_o inquiry_n how_o or_o in_o
what_o manner_n our_o saviour_n both_o before_o and_o after_o his_o resurrection_n take_v notice_n of_o st._n peter_n more_o than_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o disciple_n in_o relation_n to_o his_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o head_n of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o better_a to_o understand_v this_o infallible_a point_n which_o be_v of_o so_o great_a concern_v that_o if_o gain_v it_o will_v be_v like_o a_o general_n be_v take_v the_o metropolis_n of_o a_o kingdom_n all_o the_o little_a town_n and_o village_n will_v fall_v in_o in_o course_n i_o will_v go_v one_o step_n further_o and_o inquire_v whether_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o do_v know_v or_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o their_o time_n for_o certain_o if_o st._n peter_n have_v be_v invest_v with_o any_o such_o power_n they_o can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o and_o that_o time_n viz._n after_o christ_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n and_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a to_o have_v put_v it_o in_o execution_n but_o in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v make_v two_o inquiry_n first_o whether_o st._n peter_n do_v assume_v or_o take_v upon_o he_o any_o such_o power_n and_o authority_n above_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o second_o whether_o the_o rest_n do_v give_v place_n or_o any_o pre-eminence_n to_o st._n peter_n as_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v their_o chief_a and_o head_n and_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n do_v appear_v i_o hope_v it_o will_v sufficient_o clear_v the_o point_n in_o hand_n i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o whether_o st._n peter_n do_v assume_v any_o such_o power_n etc._n etc._n after_o the_o disciple_n return_v from_o see_v our_o saviour_n take_v up_o into_o heaven_n act_v the_o 1._o and_o 13._o verse_n we_o thus_o read_v and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v in_o they_o go_v up_o into_o a_o upper-room_n where_o abode_n both_o peter_n and_o james_n and_o john_n and_z andrew_z philip_n and_o thomas_n bartholomew_n matthew_n james_n the_o son_n of_o alpheus_n and_o simon_n zelotes_n and_o judas_n the_o brother_n of_o james_n which_o indeed_o be_v all_o the_o eleven_o but_o without_o any_o manner_n of_o distinction_n which_o certain_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o st._n luke_n the_o suppose_a author_n of_o the_o act_n have_v he_o know_v st._n peter_n to_o have_v be_v the_o head_n etc._n etc._n and_o again_o when_o the_o apostle_n meet_v to_o choose_v one_o in_o the_o room_n of_o he_o which_o betray_v our_o lord_n verse_n the_o 23._o and_o 24._o and_o they_o appoint_v two_o joseph_n call_v barsabas_n who_o be_v surname_v justus_n and_o mathias_n and_o they_o pray_v and_o say_v thou_o lord_n which_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n show_v whether_o of_o these_o two_o thou_o have_v choose_v and_o verse_n the_o 26._o they_o give_v forth_o their_o lot_n and_o the_o lot_n fall_v upon_o mathias_n and_o he_o be_v number_v with_o the_o eleven_o apostle_n from_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a st._n peter_n do_v not_o assume_v any_o power_n above_o the_o rest_n in_o this_o matter_n though_o it_o be_v of_o so_o great_a concern_v as_o the_o choose_n a_o apostle_n but_o do_v only_o act_v equal_o with_o the_o rest_n as_o appear_v by_o those_o word_n before_o recite_v viz_o and_o they_o appoint_v and_o they_o give_v forth_o their_o lot_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v that_o neither_o st._n peter_n nor_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o much_o as_o dream_v of_o such_o a_o power_n lodge_v in_o any_o one_o of_o they_o for_o if_o they_o have_v one_o will_v think_v than_o it_o have_v be_v as_o proper_a a_o time_n to_o have_v make_v use_n of_o it_o as_o any_o since_o and_o then_o upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n it_o have_v be_v rational_a for_o the_o evangelist_n to_o have_v give_v the_o account_n of_o that_o matter_n thus_o viz._n st._n peter_n the_o chief_a of_o the_o apostle_n and_o head_n of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n do_v summons_n the_o rest_n to_o attend_v and_o be_v present_a at_o his_o choose_v or_o consecrate_v a_o person_n who_o he_o judge_v sit_v to_o be_v ordain_v a_o witness_n with_o they_o in_o the_o room_n of_o judas_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n resurrection_n this_o as_o it_o will_v have_v be_v to_o the_o purpose_n so_o likewise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v high_o necessary_a at_o that_o time_n for_o then_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o only_o have_v know_v this_o great_a prerogative_n of_o st_n peter_n but_o likewise_o how_o to_o have_v behave_v themselves_o according_o and_o also_o to_o have_v instruct_v their_o follower_n in_o the_o like_a obedience_n to_o he_o and_o his_o successor_n but_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o act_n we_o read_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v verse_n the_o 3._o and_o 4._o and_o there_o appear_v unto_o they_o cleave_a tongue_n like_v as_o of_o fire_n and_o it_o sit_v upon_o i_o pray_v mark_n not_o one_o st._n peter_n only_o but_o each_o of_o they_o and_o they_o be_v all_o fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o begin_v to_o speak_v with_o other_o tongue_n as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n where_o by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v take_v notice_n the_o evangelist_n still_o keep_v to_o his_o rule_n of_o give_v a_o impartial_a account_n for_o in_o this_o place_n also_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v no_o distinction_n notwithstanding_o st._n peter_n be_v present_a but_o sit_v upon_o each_o and_o they_o be_v all_o fill_v etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o three_o of_o the_o act_n verse_n the_o 6._o we_o find_v st._n peter_n cure_v a_o man_n that_o have_v be_v lame_a from_o his_o mother_n womb_n yet_o st._n john_n be_v present_a he_o do_v not_o assume_v as_o if_o he_o only_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n have_v do_v it_o but_o make_v st._n john_n a_o copartner_n and_o instrumental_a in_o it_o as_o you_o may_v observe_v upon_o the_o people_n be_v gather_v together_o for_o the_o 11._o and_o 12._o and_o when_o peter_n see_v it_o he_o answer_v unto_o the_o people_n you_o man_n of_o israel_n why_o marvel_v you_o at_o this_o or_o why_o look_v you_o so_o earnest_o on_o we_o as_o though_o by_o our_o own_o power_n or_o holiness_n we_o have_v make_v this_o man_n to_o walk_v in_o which_o place_n no_o less_o than_o three_o time_n he_o speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n viz._n we_o our_o and_o we_o etc._n etc._n which_o plain_o show_v that_o neither_o st._n peter_n humble_a temper_n nor_o spirit_n do_v reign_v in_o his_o pretend_a successor_n and_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o first_o inquiry_n whether_o st._n peter_n do_v take_v upon_o he_o or_o assume_v any_o such_o infallible_a power_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o be_v whether_o the_o apostle_n do_v give_v place_n or_o pre-eminence_n to_o st._n peter_n as_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v their_o chief_a and_o head_n of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n when_o the_o highpriest_n and_o those_o that_o be_v with_o he_o which_o be_v the_o sect_n of_o the_o sadducee_n have_v lay_v hand_n on_o the_o apostle_n and_o put_v they_o into_o the_o common_a prison_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o night_n open_v the_o prison-door_n and_o bring_v they_o forth_o and_o say_v go_v stand_v and_o speak_v in_o the_o temple_n to_o the_o people_n all_o the_o word_n of_o this_o life_n and_o when_o they_o hear_v it_o they_o enter_v the_o temple_n etc._n etc._n as_o you_o may_v read_v act_n the_o 5._o from_o the_o 17._o to_o the_o 22._o verse_n in_o all_o which_o we_o do_v not_o find_v any_o difference_n but_o a_o equal_a power_n and_o authority_n be_v deliver_v to_o they_o all_o but_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o romanist_n may_v object_v against_o the_o commission_n give_v by_o this_o angel_n and_o say_v it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o st._n paul_n give_v they_o caution_n of_o say_v if_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o

prerogative_n give_v as_o they_o say_v by_o our_o saviour_n to_o st._n peter_n i_o can_v imagine_v but_o i_o suppose_v the_o next_o general_n council_n that_o be_v call_v by_o his_o suppose_a
