it_o be_v absurd_a that_o the_o church_n which_o be_v christ_n body_n and_o be_v therefore_o call_v 12._o 1._o cor._n 12._o 12._o christ_n because_o it_o can_v consist_v without_o the_o head_n thereof_o which_o be_v christ_n himself_o shall_v be_v build_v upon_o peter_n who_o be_v but_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v therefore_o convenient_a that_o peter_n be_v but_o a_o member_n shall_v be_v build_v upon_o the_o body_n consider_v together_o with_o the_o head_n 10_o surely_n augustine_n have_v reason_n to_o fly_v 6._o 1._o pet._n 2._o 6._o to_o the_o true_a rock_n of_o salvation_n for_o howsoever_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n till_o his_o time_n be_v a_o excellent_a testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n because_o they_o successive_o maintain_v the_o faith_n touch_v the_o fundamental_a point_n thereof_o yet_o he_o may_v well_o consider_v that_o personal_a succession_n without_o succession_n in_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a confirmation_n or_o authentical_a note_n of_o a_o true_a church_n for_o at_o constantinople_n there_o have_v be_v a_o interrupt_a succession_n of_o bishop_n till_o this_o day_n and_o yet_o the_o papist_n will_v deny_v that_o to_o be_v any_o part_n of_o christ_n his_o church_n because_o it_o retain_v not_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o christ_n 11_o but_o because_o there_o be_v such_o ado_n about_o the_o succeed_a of_o peter_n and_o it_o be_v make_v a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v peter_n successor_n which_o how_o possible_o papist_n can_v perform_v i_o can_v see_v since_o there_o be_v such_o a_o disagreement_n about_o his_o suppose_a immediate_a successor_n the_o decree_n affirm_v clement_n and_o writer_n of_o good_a regard_n as_o ireneus_fw-la and_o other_o placing_z linus_n next_o after_o peter_n 12_o that_o this_o doubt_n whether_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v peter_n successor_n may_v be_v put_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n the_o papist_n must_v necessary_o prove_v four_o thing_n 1._o that_o peter_n be_v at_o rome_n 2._o that_o he_o sit_v bishop_n there_o 25._o year_n 3._o that_o he_o

if_o they_o fail_v the_o pope_n authority_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n for_o if_o peter_n be_v never_o at_o rome_n how_o can_v he_o be_v bishop_n there_o if_o not_o bishop_n at_o all_o how_o universal_a bishop_n if_o he_o have_v no_o such_o authority_n himself_o how_o can_v it_o be_v convey_v over_o to_o his_o pretend_a successor_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o sufficient_a conveyance_n how_o frustrate_a be_v the_o pope_n claim_n but_o that_o there_o be_v such_o doubt_n in_o every_o of_o these_o point_n as_o the_o papist_n can_v clear_o resolve_v consider_v well_o the_o four_o next_o article_n 13_o none_o do_v simple_o deny_v but_o that_o peter_n may_v have_v be_v at_o rome_n as_o a_o passenger_n or_o for_o some_o short_a abode_n although_o so_o much_o be_v not_o manifest_a but_o that_o he_o sit_v bishop_n there_o and_o that_o so_o many_o year_n be_v altogether_o unlikely_a for_o it_o not_o very_o likely_a that_o paul_n salute_v so_o many_o by_o name_n as_o he_o do_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n but_o that_o he_o will_v make_v some_o honourable_a mention_n of_o peter_n and_o whereas_o six_o of_o his_o epistle_n be_v date_v at_o rome_n be_v it_o not_o lik_o but_o that_o in_o some_o of_o they_o he_o will_v speak_v of_o peter_n if_o he_o have_v be_v there_o so_o long_o and_o in_o such_o authority_n as_o he_o do_v of_o timothy_n who_o authority_n be_v less_o that_o thereby_o his_o exhortation_n and_o reproving_n may_v better_o prevail_v to_o say_v nothing_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o in_o any_o place_n signify_v that_o peter_n be_v at_o rome_n which_o in_o likelihood_n shall_v have_v be_v do_v if_o god_n have_v see_v succession_n of_o bishop_n at_o rome_n from_o peter_n to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n as_o now_o it_o be_v make_v 14_o but_o say_v that_o he_o be_v at_o rome_n it_o will_v help_v the_o papist_n nothing_o except_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v also_o bishop_n of_o rome_n whereof_o there_o be_v small_a likelihood_n if_o we_o take_v this_o word_n bishop_n not_o in_o the_o large_a sense_n which_o comprehend_v apostle_n and_o all_o minister_n have_v authority_n but_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n which_o signify_v a_o minister_n entitle_v to_o a_o certain_a place_n for_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o peter_n descend_v from_o the_o high_a degree_n in_o the_o church_n of_o which_o all_o apostle_n be_v next_o to_o christ_n the_o head_n to_o the_o inferior_a degree_n of_o a_o bishop_n or_o be_v 20._o matth._n 18._o 18._o &_o 28._o 18._o 19_o 20._o it_o likely_a that_o he_o who_o have_v authority_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n be_v tie_v to_o a_o particular_a charge_n as_o he_o be_v bishop_n 15_o but_o they_o say_v he_o be_v universal_a bishop_n and_o therefore_o his_o authority_n be_v not_o restrain_v they_o must_v needs_o say_v so_o for_o else_o his_o suppose_a be_v bishop_n at_o rome_n will_v stand_v they_o in_o no_o stead_n but_o be_v his_o authority_n enlarge_v hereby_o if_o not_o for_o how_o can_v he_o have_v a_o large_a jurisdiction_n than_o apostolical_a authority_n throughout_o the_o world_n what_o reason_n then_o can_v they_o give_v why_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o universal_a authority_n rather_o by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o bishop_n and_o that_o of_o a_o particular_a place_n than_o by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o apostle_n again_o be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o they_o can_v by_o any_o scripture_n prove_v this_o point_n since_o it_o be_v of_o such_o consequence_n with_o they_o as_o that_o it_o bind_v their_o conscience_n to_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n nay_o rather_o the_o scripture_n show_v the_o contrary_n for_o it_o be_v record_v in_o holy_a writ_n that_o the_o apostleship_n of_o the_o circumcision_n 8._o gal._n 2._o 7._o 8._o that_o be_v of_o the_o jew_n be_v commit_v to_o peter_n and_o the_o apostleship_n of_o the_o uncircumcision_n that_o be_v of_o the_o gentile_n such_o be_v the_o roman_n be_v commit_v to_o paul_n again_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o paul_n who_o 20._o rom._n 15._o 20._o inforce_v himself_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n not_o where_o christ_n be_v name_v lest_o he_o shall_v have_v build_v on_o another_o man_n foundation_n will_v so_o intrude_v himself_o into_o peter_n office_n as_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o affair_n of_o so_o many_o church_n as_o he_o do_v and_o that_o with_o all_o authority_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o other_o his_o epistle_n from_o rome_n and_o all_o this_o without_o any_o mention_n of_o peter_n if_o peter_n have_v be_v at_o rome_n and_o have_v such_o a_o universal_a authority_n sith_o paul_n as_o be_v say_v join_v with_o himself_o for_o the_o more_o authority_n of_o some_o of_o his_o epistle_n timothy_n one_o of_o less_o authority_n than_o peter_n and_o write_v to_o the_o philippian_n that_o he_o 20._o phil._n 2._o 20._o have_v none_o like_o mind_a to_o timothy_n that_o will_v faithful_o care_v for_o their_o matter_n last_o it_o be_v utter_o unlikely_a that_o paul_n etc._n gal._n 2._o 11._o etc._n etc._n will_v have_v reprove_v peter_n to_o his_o face_n and_o that_o open_o for_o withdraw_a himself_o from_o the_o gentile_n if_o peter_n have_v have_v such_o authority_n as_o the_o papist_n dream_v of_o 16_o but_o suppose_v that_o peter_n be_v at_o rome_n and_o have_v such_o authority_n what_o be_v the_o pope_n better_o for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o make_v over_o to_o peter_n successor_n by_o sufficient_a conveyance_n but_o in_o this_o point_n which_o chief_o concern_v the_o pope_n the_o papist_n seem_v utter_o to_o fail_v for_o gregory_n the_o first_o reproove_v john_n bishop_n of_o constantinople_n for_o endeavour_v to_o obtain_v the_o title_n of_o universal_a bishop_n and_o to_o have_v his_o church_n call_v the_o head_n of_o all_o church_n tell_v he_o that_o none_o of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n dare_v take_v such_o a_o title_n though_o the_o emperor_n begin_v in_o rome_n be_v wont_a to_o abide_v there_o only_o and_o do_v then_o entitle_v themselves_o emperor_n of_o rome_n nay_o he_o tell_v he_o yet_o more_o plain_o that_o whosoever_o aspire_v to_o be_v universal_a bishop_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o antichrist_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o in_o gregory_n time_n there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o any_o conveyance_n of_o peter_n suppose_a authority_n make_v over_o
