Church Answere Paul did not conferre with Peter onely but with Iames and Iohn also which were esteemed of price and pillers of the Church Second answere Paul himselfe denyeth that he did receiue ought of them neither was inferior to them and truly if he had receiued confirmation of his calling from them in that respect he had beene inferior And that which is of more importance if Paule had acknowledged Peter for his Lord and Head of the Church How was he so bold I pray you to withstand him to his face and so publiquely in presence both of Iewes and Gentiles vpbraid his dissimulation alleadging him to bee a Rocke of offence to others who were brought into the like dissimulation But thou wilt demaund what mooued Paul from Siria aud Silicia and other farre distant bouilds wherein he had planted the Gospell amongst the Gentiles to take the second paines and trauaile vppon him to passe to Ierusalem if it were not for the cause aforesaid Answere Paul expresseth the cause himselfe of his ascending to Ierusalem was to remooue and cut off that false rumour which was spread abroad by false Apostles that hee taught otherwise then the rest of the Apostles did for these false Brethren did conioyne Moses and Leuiticall Ceremonies of the Law new Moones Saboaths Circumcision c. with IESVS CHRIST and Euangelicall Doctrine as simply and absolutely necessary vnto Saluation which Paul reiected to be done yea taught that whosoeuer was circumcised was fallen from Grace and that by the workes of the Law no flesh should bee iustified but by the Faith of Iesus Christ and not by the workes of the Law Thus then I reason if Paul at that time did ascend to receiue authoritie and confirmation to preach the Gospell then wee must graunt that the foureteene yeares proceeding wherein hee had trauelled in the Euangell hee had openlie taught without any warrant which is manifest absurditie And last of all if Paul receiued any authoritie of Peter to publish the Gospell how is it that Paul declares he was an Apostle not of men neither by man but by Iesus Christ and God the Father which had raised him from the dead It rests therefore that Peter was neuer ordained Head of the Church and that whatsoeuer the Aduersaries of the troth alledge for the establishing of his Primacie and Superioritie is friuolous and cannot abide the ballance of the Sanctuary because they are too light Wherefore also in that third time Christ acquaints his Disciples with his Resurrection most liuelie speaking and inuiting Peter with the rest to eate after his vnprofitable labour all the night he did not euen then as it were lastly designe him to such a Supreame place And also he left vnto him a Propheticall declaration what death hee should dye and would he not haue signified vnto him of this his great Stile in the Church And this did Peter himselfe very well remember and prepares himselfe for such a departure recommending sundry good and profitable Obseruations Doctrines and Lessons to the Iewes saying I will endeuour therfore alwaies that ye also may be able to haue remēbrance of these things after my departure but neither Christ remembreth in the Gospell at any time neither the Apostles nor Brethren then remaining of the Church acknowledge neither Saint Luke the Compiler of that Ecclesiasticall History of the Acts of the Apostles recordeth neyther yet Peter leaues any succeeding Monument of that meere vsurpation which cannot fal without great blasphemie in any humane Nature Soli Deo Gloria ¶ Prophetia Frederici Jmperatoris de Excidio Romano ad Gregorium Pontificem

yeeld to his Brethrens desire but who can excuse the Apostles yea and the other Brethren which were of Iudea which could not haue a like place and authoritie with the Disciples of Christ in many and divers respects which are not here to be reckoned to haue accused and caused Peter to giue a reason of his conuersation and Doctrine among the vncircumcized in that he had entered vnto them and eater with them after the receipt of the word of God if hee had been constituted head of the Church either in Christs time here vpon earth or yet after his resurrection by Christ or his Apostles or by any other means whatsoeuer remarkeable who can say but that the Apostles haue done greatly amisse in challenging their Superior and not rendring that simple and humble submission as in such matters is requisite and suppose it were tollerable in the Apostles who were in like rank and estate with him yet if Peter had been mounted to that degree he could not haue comported to heare himselfe so disgraced as it were and contended against by those farre inferiour to the Apostles and adacted to giue in his Apologie clearely expounding and dilating the whol matter vnto them with all the circumstances thereof Peter if hee had been their Master and head might haue put them to silence for their sudden strife with him or else haue said I haue done no wrong I haue reason for my actions and that may suffice that I haue commandement by Reuelation from aboue wherevnto I am priuie my selfe Peter yet might haue deliuered in defence of his proceedings to the Apostles and Brethren of Iudea offended at him for Peters primacie had not been divulged and made manifest to the Church if any had or for persecution and iniurie of the time it was suppressed and holden vnder vntill more conuenient time while it should break vp either truely in Antioch or at Rome But it is exceeding maruellous that Paul should not many yeares after haue got intelligence of the same seeing it was such a necessary Head in the Church as tending to calme tranquill all controuersies when refuge and appeale should be made to him as vnto an Oracle for whom God sendeth in his worke whatsoeuer him hee furnisheth fit and meet for the discharge thereof and being aduanced to bee head his graces should haue surpassed the other Apostles especially Paul who cals himselfe an abortiue issue and borne out of time and it is credible that Paul would not take that arrogancy vppon him by sundry arguments to contend himselfe no wise inferior to Peter if Peter was head of the church that hee receiued no point of doctrine from him or any other of the brethren at Ierusalem to which hee did ascend by reuelation to know his conformity with them Moreouer in recompting certaine disciples as Iohn and Iames he placeth not Peter in the first order and roome this is farre from his accustomed manner who was so meeke as a nurse to her children and who requireth his Galathians to bee as he was for he was as they were and to giue to all men their duty scare to whom feare and honor to whom wee owe honor but in Gods cause when hee did see Peter that he went not the right way to the truth of the Ghospell hee did withstand him to his face before all men because hee was to bee rebuked what can bee more euident We know when Paul was rauished in the third heauen and receiued vasions and reuelations fourteene yeares before hee manifested the same and heard words vnutterable but of this preferment of Peter there is not one siyllable yea Paul was his contradictor in this place where hee bringeth his warrant for in that matter and combate with Peter hee did nothing without expresse command as not purposing one foot in that voyage without speciall reuelation yea and if the subscription and date bee true hee wrote the same Epistle to the Galathians from Rome Now in many other placees he comes to intimate by the spirit of Prophesie the condition of the world and the state of the Church vnder Antichrist but of this prerogatiue of Peter at any time hee hath not one word but that three yeares after his conuersion hee came vp to Ierusalem to see Peter and staid with him fifteene dayes where Paul might haue beene taught of others or of Peter himselfe and beene perswaded of this his Primacy after soe many yeares since Christs ascention and so many dayes conference and society with Peter himselfe who doubtles would haue imparted to Paul whom hee cal'd his beloued brother all speciall comfort aud heauenly grace particularly this point of the head of the Church if any other then Christ had beene land so much the more for that Paul of all the Apostles makes oftenest mention in all his Epistles almost thereof euer deferring that honor to Christ onely the Sauiour of the Church which is his body for Paul is farre off from grudging and disceptation but his zeale must shew it selfe when Christs truth is peruerted as hee himselfe witnesseth Besides this three yeares after God had reuealed his sonne in him that hee might preach him among the Gentiles because hee did foresee that this verity should bee called in question by them who would establish another head of the Church then Christ hee conceites a graue atestation saying in these things which I write vnto you behold before God I lye not as also more plainely in another place whose preacher and Apostle saith he I am constituted I speake the truth in Christ and lye not euen a Teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity Moreouer three yeares after his conuersion he passed to Ierusalem and fourteene yeares after hee ascended to Ierusalem the second time now in this seauenteenth yeare after his calling to the Apostleship which fell in the yeare of Christ Anno 6. Paul testifies the Ghospell of vncircumcision was committed vnto him as that of the Circumcision to Peter and the Lord blessed and made both their Ministeries effectuall So that it came to passe that Paul and Barnabas did couenant and giue their right hands of fellowship that they among the Gentiles Iames Peter and Iohn for so hee rankes them among the Iewes should discharge their Apostleship now it must be of necessity that if Peter was head of the Church then hee was constituted head both ouer Iew and Gentile vnles they would say that hee was but halfe a head but Paul affirmes and that by their owne motiue and voluntary will that the Ghospell of the Gentiles was committed to him and Barnabas and not vnto Peter how can we say then that he was or apoynted to bee head of the Church seeing he was bound and tyed by his owne faithfull promise beside his Commission not to meddle with the Gentiles in his Ministery or was not that an vnfirme head of the Church if so
