christ_n and_o one_o chair_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a and_o know_v hitherto_o s._n cyprian_n 11._o but_o now_o that_o these_o promise_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o belong_v to_o the_o person_n of_o s._n peter_n but_o also_o to_o all_o those_o who_o be_v to_o succeed_v he_o in_o the_o same_o office_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n we_o do_v thus_o clear_o prove_v and_o demonstrate_v first_o because_o s._n peter_n be_v here_o make_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o rock_n whereupon_o it_o be_v build_v but_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n always_o remain_v therefore_o the_o foundation_n thereof_o must_v always_o remain_v see_v that_o nothing_o can_v continue_v and_o be_v without_o it_o foundation_n 12._o moreover_o those_o key_n which_o be_v give_v to_o s._n peter_n do_v remain_v always_o in_o the_o church_n as_o all_o our_o adversary_n confess_v ergo_fw-la he_o also_o remain_v to_o who_o these_o key_n be_v give_v for_o that_o authority_n or_o those_o key_n be_v not_o give_v for_o s._n peter_n alone_o but_o for_o the_o church_n which_o be_v always_o extant_a it_o therefore_o always_o retain_v those_o key_n and_o that_o authority_n of_o bind_n or_o lose_v man_n from_o their_o sin_n in_o s._n peter_n and_o his_o successor_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 13._o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o s._n leo_n say_v when_o he_o write_v pontif._n that_o s._n peter_n even_o to_o this_o day_n govern_v the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o his_o successor_n insomuch_o that_o his_o dignity_n never_o fail_v even_o in_o a_o unworthy_a successor_n but_o hitherto_o there_o be_v never_o any_o successor_n of_o s._n peter_n acknowledge_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n beside_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n he_o therefore_o be_v the_o only_a successor_n of_o s_o peter_n and_o the_o supreme_a bishop_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o roman_a be_v not_o only_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n but_o also_o prefer_v before_o all_o other_o even_o by_o christ_n himself_o 14._o the_o second_o place_n be_v feed_v my_o lamb_n 17._o feed_v my_o sheep_n in_o which_o word_n god_n commend_v to_o s._n peter_n not_o only_o his_o lamb_n which_o signify_v the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n but_o also_o his_o sheep_n to_o wit_n the_o pastor_n and_o father_n of_o his_o church_n first_o say_v eusebius_n emissenus_fw-la evangelist_n he_o commit_v to_o s._n peter_n his_o lamb_n and_o then_o his_o sheep_n because_o he_o make_v he_o not_o only_o a_o pastor_n but_o the_o pastor_n of_o pastor_n peter_n therefore_o feed_v the_o lamb_n and_o also_o the_o sheep_n he_o fee_v child_n and_o their_o mother_n he_o rule_v the_o people_n and_o their_o prelate_n pontif_n he_o be_v therefore_o the_o pastor_n o●_n all_o because_o beside_o lamb_n and_o sheep_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o church_n hitherto_o eusebius_n and_o s._n bernard_n my_o sheep_n say_v christ_n unto_o who_o be_v it_o not_o plain_a and_o manifest_a that_o he_o do_v not_o assign_v some_o but_o all_o nothing_o be_v except_v where_o there_o be_v no_o distinction_n make_v thus_o s._n bernard_n and_o s._n leo_n peter_n do_v proper_o govern_v all_o who_o principal_o christ_n also_o govern_v 15._o 15._o furthermore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o these_o word_n be_v speak_v to_o s._n peter_n and_o not_o to_o the_o other_o apostle_n see_v that_o christ_n ask_v he_o thrice_o do_v thou_o love_v i_o and_o moreover_o he_o add_v more_o than_o these_o that_o he_o may_v make_v a_o manifest_a distinction_n betwixt_o s._n peter_n and_o the_o other_o apostle_n 16._o final_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o this_o promise_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o appertain_v to_o the_o person_n of_o s._n peter_n but_o also_o to_o his_o successor_n which_o be_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o church_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 25._o for_o both_o the_o apostle_n do_v plain_o testify_v and_o our_o adversary_n do_v also_o confess_v that_o the_o office_n of_o a_o pastor_n be_v ordinary_a and_o shall_v always_o continue_v and_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n 17._o and_o the_o chief_a re●son_n hereof_o be_v because_o we_o stand_v in_o no_o less_o need_n now_o of_o a_o supreme_a pastor_n than_o they_o which_o be_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n while_o yet_o the_o apostle_n be_v alive_a yea_o we_o have_v much_o more_o need_n thereof_o beside_o that_o there_o be_v still_o and_o always_o shall_v be_v some_o sheep_n of_o christ_n therefore_o there_o shall_v also_o still_o continue_v their_o chief_a pastor_n the_o roman_a church_n therefore_o be_v not_o only_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n but_o also_o that_o wherein_o s._n peter_n successor_n and_o the_o supreme_a pastor_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n remain_v 18._o but_o these_o two_o place_n be_v so_o manifest_a that_o they_o can_v be_v confute_v or_o wrest_v to_o any_o other_o sense_n unless_o we_o will_v reduce_v all_o word_n to_o a_o metaphorical_a signification_n or_o other_o figurative_a speech_n the_o which_o be_v a_o common_a trick_n of_o our_o adversary_n when_o they_o be_v urge_v with_o plain_a word_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o against_o all_o these_o falsification_n of_o our_o adversary_n we_o must_v always_o observe_v that_o rule_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n take_v out_o of_o s._n augustine_n to_o wit_n 16._o that_o we_o must_v never_o depart_v from_o the_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n unless_o we_o be_v force_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o some_o more_o evident_a point_n of_o faith_n whereunto_o the_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n do_v manifest_o repugn_v for_o otherwise_o if_o we_o may_v as_o often_o as_o we_o will_v refuse_v and_o leave_v the_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n there_o will_v be_v nothing_o less_o certain_a in_o all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 19_o moreover_o it_o will_v be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o every_o one_o to_o fly_v to_o metaphor_n and_o improper_a signification_n when_o he_o be_v press_v with_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o here_o that_o shall_v force_v we_o to_o depart_v from_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n none_o therefore_o but_o desperate_a and_o careless_a of_o their_o own_o salvation_n will_v give_v credit_n and_o believe_v these_o foolish_a toy_n and_o dream_n of_o our_o adversary_n invent_v only_o by_o they_o in_o hatred_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n 20._o yea_o he_o will_v rather_o embrace_v and_o follow_v the_o uniform_a consent_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o of_o all_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o the_o holy_a father_n in_o many_o place_n do_v affirm_v that_o ●h●se_n two_o lace_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v literal_o of_o s._n peter_n the_o which_o bellarmine_n and_o coccius_n have_v diligent_o gather_v together_o 4._o as_o many_o other_o catholic_a author_n have_v do_v before_o they_o but_o because_o this_o matter_n be_v so_o clear_a and_o manifest_a that_o even_o our_o aduersarsary_n can_v deny_v it_o as_o we_o will_v plain_o show_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n we_o will_v not_o now_o spend_v any_o more_o time_n in_o allege_v of_o author_n 21._o but_o our_o adversary_n do_v here_o cry_v out_o and_o object_n against_o we_o that_o the_o holy_a father_n do_v sometime_o affirm_v that_o the_o church_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o faith_n of_o s._n peter_n and_o sometime_o upon_o his_o confession_n as_o though_o forsooth_o there_o be_v any_o among_o we_o so_o foolish_a as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o church_n be_v build_v upon_o s._n peter_n back_n or_o shoulder_n or_o upon_o s._n peter_n as_o he_o be_v a_o infidel_n or_o dumb_a and_o not_o rather_o upon_o s._n peter_n as_o endue_v and_o replenish_v with_o the_o gift_n of_o faith_n confess_v and_o profess_v open_o the_o mystery_n thereof_o wherefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o whether_o we_o say_v that_o the_o church_n be_v build_v upon_o s._n peter_n or_o upon_o his_o faith_n and_o confession_n for_o we_o do_v not_o separate_v s._n peter_n from_o his_o faith_n or_o from_o the_o public_a pro●ession_n thereof_o but_o we_o only_o affirm_v that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o faith_n and_o confession_n of_o s._n peter_n alone_o and_o of_o no_o other_o 22._o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o same_o holy_a father_n who_o in_o some_o place_n affirm_v that_o the_o church_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o faith_n and_o confession_n of_o s._n peter_n 22._o do_v else_o where_o plain_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v build_v upon_o s._n peter_n himself_o yea_o even_o in_o the_o same_o place_n they_o sometime_o say_v that_o it_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o faith_n or_o confession_n of_o s._n peter_n and_o sometime_o upon_o s._n peter_n

the_o come_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v dilate_v and_o propagate_v over_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n 11._o s._n augustine_n use_v this_o argument_n most_o of_o all_o against_o the_o donatist_n to_o show_v the_o true_a church_n for_o first_o god_n promise_v abraham_n that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bless_v in_o his_o seed_n and_o afterward_o he_o confirm_v the_o same_o with_o a_o oath_n so_o god_n the_o father_n say_v unto_o christ_n ask_v of_o i_o and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o nation_n for_o thy_o inheritance_n &_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o thy_o possession_n many_o such_o like_a place_n be_v in_o the_o psalm_n and_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n 12._o and_o this_o sign_n be_v also_o visible_a because_o that_o which_o be_v every_o where_o and_o at_o all_o time_n may_v be_v see_v of_o all_o man_n when_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v see_v as_o this_o be_v 13._o moreover_o this_o sign_n be_v very_o certain_a even_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o natural_a reason_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n extend_v itself_o very_o careful_o over_o all_o those_o which_o be_v he_o and_o that_o falsity_n can_v always_o continue_v but_o must_v needs_o be_v overcome_v by_o truth_n and_o that_o god_n be_v of_o great_a power_n and_o able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o the_o devil_n yea_o the_o beginning_n and_o progress_n of_o all_o false_a

ever_o since_o their_o time_n till_o these_o our_o day_n by_o a_o continual_a succession_n for_o this_o sign_n as_o also_o the_o former_a be_v the_o proper_a mark_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o of_o it_o be_v all_o our_o controversy_n but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v found_v by_o the_o apostle_n 20._o appear_v evident_o by_o those_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n and_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v the_o continual_a succession_n of_o the_o church_n by_o many_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n 18._o ●he_v same_o also_o the_o prophet_n do_v testify_v in_o many_o place_n 15._o moreover_o see_v that_o there_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v always_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n in_o the_o church_n without_o who_o she_o can_v consist_v and_o continue_v as_o our_o adversary_n confess_v it_o necessary_o follow_v as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o that_o there_o have_v always_o be_v a_o continual_a succession_n of_o these_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n in_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n 16._o but_o that_o which_o many_o do_v say_v be_v both_o foolish_a and_o frivolous_a to_o wit_n that_o there_o have_v be_v always_o a_o continual_a succ●ssion_n of_o doctrine_n in_o the_o church_n but_o not_o of_o person_n for_o see_v that_o true_a doctrine_n must_v needs_o proceed_v from_o some_o person_n a●d_v those_o of_o man_n for_o not_o angel_n but_o man_n do_v teach_v now_o adays_o if_o the_o true_a doctrine_n continue_v it_o be_v also_o necessary_a that_o the_o man_n which_o

sucession_n be_v also_o a_o visible_a sig●e_n because_o in_o some_o part_n or_o person_n thereof_o it_o may_v be_v see_v at_o all_o time_n as_o suc●ssive_a and_o transistory_n thing_n be_v wont_a to_o

among_o the_o infidel_n for_o unless_o this_o sucession_n be_v continual_a the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n shall_v altogether_o perish_v and_o decay_v all_o honour_n &_o worship_n of_o the_o true_a

19_o furthermore_o that_o which_o we_o have_v hitherto_o say_v of_o these_o sour_a sign_n may_v suffice_v but_o that_o the_o pertinacy_n and_o inconstancy_n of_o our_o adversary_n be_v so_o very_o

as_o appear_v by_o the_o jew_n and_o mahomet_n but_o these_o be_v easy_o answer_v for_o these_o sign_n be_v not_o allege_v as_o property_n quarto_fw-la modo_fw-la as_o beza_n think_v but_o rather_o

the_o prophet_n therefore_o say_v that_o the_o labour_n &_o negotiation_n that_o be_v the_o riches_n get_v together_o by_o labour_n and_o negotiation_n of_o egypt_n and_o ethiopia_n and_o the_o
