But I must tell you in your Catalogue you say that many did succeed Peter Where do you read that in all his time he was called Gratious Lord or Pope or that Timothy or Titus or any other that he was set up above another by the Apostles Did not Paul reprove Peter for some things This makes nothing for the Pope the Catalogue you have brought neither doth it suit the matter for your whole Church as you call it together with your Head the Pope is judged by Christ and the Apostles and the primitive Church and therefore because that you have lost the Key of David and Tongue of the Learned the Pope must have the outward Key and you must have the Tongues that begin at Babel which your Brother Pilate set on the top of Christ when he Crucified him and therefore must studdy Arts and so Tubal Cain and this proves you a Seditious Sect and have lost the Crown of Life and therefore he must set up 3.
