design_n he_o ramble_n through_o several_a language_n into_o which_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v translate_v and_o in_o the_o conclusion_n he_o say_v a_o great_a lie_n to_o peter_n then_o christ_n

to_o his_o own_o interpretation_n of_o they_o and_o indeed_o its_o blasphemy_n in_o a._n s._n to_o affirm_v it_o but_o then_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o primary_n rock_n and_o peter_n the_o secondary_a rock_n reply_n but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v that_o peter_n shall_v be_v a_o secondary_a rock_n for_o a._n s._n can_v prove_v that_o god_n ever_o ordain_v or_o appoint_v a_o secondary_a

of_o the_o apostle_n when_o indeed_o its_o manifest_a enough_o that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o set_v up_o the_o pope_n as_o lord_n and_o master_n over_o god_n heritage_n gentile_a like_a contrary_a to_o that_o say_n of_o our_o one_o lord_n christ_n viz._n be_v not_o many_o master_n for_o one_o be_v your_o master_n even_o christ_n and_o all_o you_o be_v brethren_n mat_n 23.8_o so_o that_o peter_n

in_o relation_n to_o his_o spiritual_a authority_n for_o he_o himself_o say_v yet_o not_o boast_o but_o true_o that_o he_o come_v not_o behind_o the_o very_o chief_a apostle_n 2_o cor._n 12.11_o so_o that_o peter_n be_v no_o more_o the_o rock_n then_o paul_n be_v and_o what_o be_v paul_n or_o what_o be_v apollo_n or_o peter_n either_o but_o minister_n by_o who_o the_o church_n believe_v 1_o cor._n 3.5_o so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o set_v themselves_o one_o above_o another_o for_o they_o abase_v themselves_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v exalt_v
