saxum immobile totius operis christiani cōpagem molemque contineat that is to saye Peter is called petra bycause that he fyrste amonge the gentyles dyd establisshe the groūd of our fayth as a stone not easy to be remoued he cōteyneth in hym stayeth all the frame gretnes of the worke of christ And saynt Gregory saythe Certe Petrus apostolus primū membrū sancte vniuersalis ecclesie est Paulus Andreas Joannes quid aliud quam singularium plebiū sunt capita that is to saye Peter is the chefe membre of the vniuersall chirche Paule Andrew John what els be they but heedes of certayne syngler

these be of the latyn chirche holy fathers all men of grete lernynge all men of synguler holynes whose vertuous lyuynges be cōformed by miracles bothe done in theyr lyfes after theyr deeth Of grekes lykewyse Chrisostome after that he hath praysed saynt Paule speketh of saynt Peter sayeng ꝙ ipse quifuit apostolorum caput talis fuit that is to saye that saynt Peter whiche was the heed of the

grekes and latyns shall not coūterpease agaynst one frere What reason is this I truste there is no true chrysten man but that he wyll be moued with the testimonye of all these specyally whan they be groūded of so playne euydent a fygure of the olde lawe and of so clere a lyght of the holy gospels ¶ But here Luther wyll saye that he can not cōceyue duos summos Of the whiche I merueyle gretly Sithen it is manyfest that Aaron was called summus in scrypture yf he were summus sacerdos Moyses was no whit benethe hym than must they two eyther of them be summus one of them vnder an other in

hyr owne to gouerne hyr accordynge to the wyl pleasure of hyr housband yet she hath hyr housband to be hyr heed chryst to be hyr heed and god to be hyr heed How moche rather our mother holy chirche

chryst how can he haue in hym the spyryte of this body whiche is the spyryte of trouthe specyally whan he hath dyuyded hymselfe with suche pryde arrogancye presumpcyon whiche is moost odyous vnto this

his religyon he hath vowed and promest obedyence How can this man haue in hym the spyryte of god this holy spyryte of trouthe And here I make an ende of the fyrst instruccyon ¶ Here foloweth the
