A33943	A modest enquiry, whether St. Peter were ever at Rome, and bishop of that church? wherein, I. the arguments of Cardinall Bellarmine and others, for the affirmative are considered, II. some considerations taken notice of that render the negative highly probable.	Care, Henry, 1646-1688.	1687 (1687)	Wing C529; ESTC R7012	75,600	120

of_o rome_n shall_v no_o long_o be_v head_n nor_o have_v any_o sovereignty_n over_o christian_n but_o let_v that_o pass_n we_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o argument_n bring_v to_o prove_v peter_n be_v bishop_n of_o the_o particular_a church_n of_o rome_n and_o because_o they_o who_o affirm_v he_o be_v so_o do_v with_o equal_a confidence_n maintain_v that_o he_o be_v also_o bishop_n of_o antioch_n for_o about_o seven_o year_n we_o will_v here_o take_v that_o part_n of_o the_o story_n into_o our_o thought_n 1._o that_o peter_n be_v a_o apostle_n no_o man_n that_o believe_v the_o new_a testament_n can_v doubt_v but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o a_o apostle_n and_o a_o bishop_n proper_o so_o call_v place_n will_n i_o think_v not_o be_v deny_v for_o the_o apostle_n be_v immediate_o call_v by_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o world_n be_v their_o diocese_n for_o so_o run_v their_o commission_n mark_v 16._o 15._o go_v you_o into_o all_o the_o world_n preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a office_n consist_v of_o personal_a privilege_n as_o immediate_a vocation_n power_n to_o work_v miracle_n universality_n

bishop_n be_v choose_v by_o man_n and_o have_v a_o certain_a seat_n and_o church_n and_o their_o office_n be_v ordinary_a 1_o tim._n 3._o 1._o tit._n 1._o 5._o 1._o pet._n 5._o 2._o therefore_o peter_n be_v a_o apostle_n can_v not_o i_o conceive_v be_v bishop_n either_o of_o antioch_n or_o rome_n in_o the_o proper_a strict_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n for_o this_o have_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o degrade_n he_o from_o a_o superior_a and_o more_o ample_a office_n to_o one_o inferior_a and_o restrain_a i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o as_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v at_o large_a a_o inspecter_fw-la or_o overseer_n every_o apostle_n where_o ever_o he_o happen_v to_o come_v may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bishop_n of_o that_o place_n but_o not_o exclusive_o to_o other_o and_o thus_o you_o may_v if_o you_o please_v call_v paul_n a_o general_n bishop_n 28._o because_o he_o testify_v that_o he_o have_v the_o care_n of_o all_o the_o church_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n

presbyter_n or_o elder_n 1_o pet._n 5._o 1._o i_o also_o agree_v that_o peter_n or_o any_o other_o apostle_n may_v wherever_o he_o come_v act_n and_o discharge_v all_o part_n of_o a_o bishop_n function_n whether_o ministerial_a or_o govern_v but_o all_o this_o will_v not_o constitute_v he_o proper_a bishop_n of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a church_n or_o of_o one_o more_o than_o another_o for_o though_o a_o prince_n in_o his_o progress_n may_v do_v some_o act_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o mayor_n or_o other_o particular_a governor_n of_o that_o town_n where_o he_o happen_v to_o lodge_v yet_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o mayor_n or_o particular_a governor_n of_o such_o a_o corporation_n for_o that_o will_v be_v a_o diminution_n of_o his_o royal_a dignity_n no_o more_o do_v the_o apostle_n become_v local_a bishop_n because_o of_o their_o exercise_v episcopal_a power_n in_o any_o particular_a church_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o power_n apostolical_a wherein_o the_o other_o be_v include_v nor_o can_v the_o first_o planter_n or_o establisher_n of_o a_o church_n as_o such_o be_v style_v the_o bishop_n of_o such_o a_o church_n for_o then_o both_o paul_n and_o peter_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n must_v be_v bishop_n of_o many_o several_a diocese_n 2._o church_n if_o peter_n be_v bishop_n either_o of_o antioch_n

these_o three_o can_v be_v say_v not_o the_o first_o for_o as_o there_o appear_v no_o footstep_n of_o such_o a_o ordination_n in_o scripture_n so_o if_o by_o christ_n he_o be_v constitute_v

ascension_n any_o such_o church_n in_o be_v not_o the_o second_o for_o than_o he_o must_v relinquish_v the_o apostolical_a office_n which_o he_o receive_v of_o christ_n and_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o far_o degrade_v by_o man_n as_o to_o undertake_v a_o mean_a and_o more_o limit_a office_n as_o if_o the_o bishop_n of_o london_n shall_v be_v make_v parson_n of_o pancras_n hence_o too_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o st._n peter_n thenceforth_o instead_o of_o be_v prince_n of_o the_o apostle_n shall_v as_o bishop_n of_o antioch_n or_o rome_n be_v inferior_a to_o the_o other_o apostle_n
