Boanerges the Sons of Thunder Mark 3. yet Bellarmine observes that Simon was afterwards almost continually called Cephas or Peter but James and John were never called Boanerges but Iames and Iohn as they were before as if it had been rather their Title or an addition then a Change of their Name Again I do not finde ten times in the Evangelists that our Saviour spake in the singular number to any of the rest of the Apostles or that any of them spake to him and one of those times was when Sim n Peter beckned to the Disciple Whom Jesus lived that he should ask him who it should be of whom he speak that should betray him Joh. 13. But usually he spake in general to them all and so they to him As Mat. 13. His Disciples came to him saying declare unto us the Parable of the tares of the field He answered and said unto them ver 37. And Mat. 14. His Disciples came unto him saying this is a desert place c. But Jesus said unto them ver 16. Yet it is not likely that they all shake at once but rather that S. Peter comonly answered and spake for them all because we read sometimes where his Name is conceald which is by some other Evangelist declared that it was S. Peter if we shall compare John the 18. with Matthew 26. But as for S. Peter our Saviour still speaks to him ●y Name and hee onely makes the answer and he speaks to our Saviour and that so frequently that it is most Remarkable as Mat. 14. And Peter answered him and said Lord if it be thou bid me come unto thee on the Water And Mat. 16 And Simon Peter answered and said Thou art Christ the Son of the living God And Jesus answered and said unto him ver 17. And I say also unto thee ver 18. And I will give unto thee the keyes of the Kingdome of Heaven and whatsoever thou shalt binde on Earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven So Christ in his Transfiguration when he took with him Peter James and Iohn Mat. 17. Then answered Peter and said unto Iesus ver 4. Again Mat. 18. Then came Peter to him and said Lord how oft shall my brother sin against me I forgive him Jesus saith unto him ver 21. And Mat. 26. Peter answered and said unto him Though all men shall be offended because of thee Yet will I never be Offended Iesus answered and said unto him Verily I say vnto thee ver 34. Peter answered and said unto him Though I should dye with thee Yet will I not deny thee ver 35. And Iohn 21. Our Saviour after his Resurrection speaks thrice to St. Peter saying Simon son of Ionas lovest thou mee more then these and Peter answered and said Lord thou knowest that I love thee And this is so frequent in all the four Evangelists that I have not time to repeat them all Add to this that his priviledges Recorded by them are for greater and more than any of the rest had For he is sent to take the Fish to pay Pole mony for his Master and himself Mat. 17. Christ goes to his House and cures his wifes mother of a feavour Mat. 8. Enters into his Ship to Preach Luke 5. prays for him in particular that his faith fail not Lvke 22. Washeth his feet first as it is probable Iohn 13. Foresheweth his death in special Iohn 20. Apears first to him of the twelve after his Resurrection Luke 24. The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared unto Simon That he was seen of Cephas then of the twelve 1. Cor. 15. Again he wrought more memorable Acts and miracles than they all did Hee walks upon the Waters to Christ Mat 14. He passeth sentence as Judge upon Ananias and Saphira Acts 5. He preacheth first to the Iews when 3000 were converted by him at one Sermon Acts 2. He Preacheth first to the Gentiles Act. 10. His very shadow in passing by cured all that were sick Acts 5. I cannot stay to run over all that might be said in his behalf But I hope here not to be misunderstood as if I had left my Religion beyond the Seas We all blesse God who hath preserved your Majesty amongst so many dangerous provocations to for sake it to hold fast to the Church of England as it was Established and maintained by King Edward Queen Elizabeth King James And King Charles Your Martyred Father all of ever blessed Memory And your Subjects that have not done the like cannot say Behold we have forsaken all and followed thee As for S. Peters Supremacy over the rest were it granted that he was a Metropolitan amongst the Apostles yet the Minor Proposition But the Pope is S. Peters successor will be hard to prove because it is not so cleer that S. Peter was at Rome much less Bishops there And if the Pope did Succeed him Locally it doth not follow that therfore hee doth succeed him in his piety and Priviledges But the conclusion is to large by odds for the Primises that therefore the Pope is supreme to all Kings and Emperours in all causes Spirituall and Temporal S. Peter preach't the contrary 1 Epist Peter 2. chap. ver 13. Submit your selves to every ordinance of man to the King as Supreme But amongst all the Arguments brought to prove S. Peters supremacy I do not read this of my Text which may be alleaged to confirm it as well as any of the Rest For it shewe in what great Authority he was about our Saviour that the petition for them all must be prefered by him and he doth it so vigorously and effectually that he deserves to be ownd as the Christ amongst them for it There are 5 Circustances very remarkable which he observed in this presenting of it Two are concealed in the Text Fust that he did it spontaneously and of his own accord we do not read that any of the Apostles did move or sollicite him to undertake it for them but knowing their sufferings he goes about it of his own free will Contrary to the course of the world where men must be continually solicited though it be but for recovering what is a mans own and the following of it is commonly so tedious and chargeable that a man were better oft times leave it off then spend his mony and time about it Secondly he doth it gratis and without reward we do not find that he either asked or received any thing for his pains He knew that they had forsaken all to follow Christ and therefore it were not reasonable to expect any thing from them For if long Soliciting and money must do it then they who never did forsake what they had were fitter to procure it To these two we may adde one more that there is some probability that S. Peter was appointed by our Saviour to promote their common interest or at least received a hint
