which_o make_v we_o bless_v these_o thing_n well_o consider_v it_o may_v appear_v that_o as_o christ_n be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v very_a god_n though_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n but_o also_o because_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n viz._n the_o gospel_n teach_v a_o mystical_a righteousteousnes_n so_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v a_o adversary_n in_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o servant_n but_o also_o because_o his_o

the_o mouth_n of_o luther_n and_o other_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 7_o for_o the_o better_a manifestation_n of_o this_o point_n let_v we_o serious_o consider_v that_o howsoever_o the_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

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

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

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

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

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
