A11924	A Godlye sermon preached before the Queens Most Excellent Maiestie vpon the 17, 18, 19 verses of the 16 chapter of S. Mathew vvherein is contained the conclusion of a dialogue betweene Christ and his disciples, shewing breefely that the authoritie which the Pope of Rome doth challenge to himselfe is vnlawfully vsurped : very necessarie for these perilous times wherein the simple may perceiue their intollerable impietie, vsurping that office and action which euer appertayned vnto Christ only : published at the request of sundry godly and well disposed persons.		1585 (1585)	STC 22237; ESTC S2330	39,008	98

also_o at_o jerusalem_n and_o at_o antioch_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n why_o shall_v not_o then_o the_o bishop_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o antioch_n be_v account_v peter_n successor_n as_o well_o as_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n if_o it_o be_v because_o peter_n suffer_v there_o so_o do_v paul_n also_o and_o sure_o that_o be_v but_o a_o mean_a reason_n to_o make_v rome_n

to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v neither_o immediate_o call_v of_o god_n neither_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o apostle_n in_o go_v about_o to_o preach_v to_o all_o nation_n he_o can_v be_v

successor_n to_o peter_n in_o that_o which_o peter_n be_v not_o he_o be_v by_o office_n a_o apostle_n not_o a_o bishop_n and_o further_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v ancient_a writer_n valent._n irenaeus_n contra_fw-la valent._n peter_n be_v never_o bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o irenaeus_n and_o eusebius_n say_v that_o paul_n and_o peter_n found_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o linus_n

of_o a_o apostle_n who_o teach_v there_o as_o paul_n do_v also_o so_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v be_v peter_n successor_n in_o his_o bishopric_n because_o he_o be_v never_o bishop_n of_o rome_n if_o he_o say_v he_o be_v his_o successor_n in_o his_o doctrine_n if_o he_o be_v able_a to_o justify_v that_o it_o will_v bear_v some_o colour_n but_o if_o the_o quite_o contrary_a be_v prove_v then_o be_v

or_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n which_o follow_v they_o in_o place_n or_o in_o name_n but_o those_o which_o follow_v they_o in_o their_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n which_o thing_n if_o they_o can_v show_v they_o do_v we_o will_v in_o part_n grant_v they_o to_o be_v successor_n to_o the_o apostle_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v long_o upon_o this_o point_n i_o trust_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v shall_v be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o second_o part_n part_n i_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o prove_v now_o i_o will_v hasten_v unto_o the_o three_o there_o remain_v then_o the_o three_o part_n to_o discuss_v which_o be_v what_o the_o power_n &_o commission_n be_v that_o be_v give_v to_o peter_n in_o this_o place_n when_o it_o be_v say_v to_o he_o to_o thou_o will_v i_o give_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n whatsoever_o thou_o shall_v bind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n which_o word_n be_v speak_v unto_o peter_n &_o give_v he_o by_o express_a word_n the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v thereby_o they_o have_v infer_v some_o special_a authority_n and_o prerogative_n to_o have_v be_v give_v to_o peter_n above_o all_o other_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o this_o place_n wherefore_o concern_v the_o interpretation_n and_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n see_v there_o be_v no_o agreement_n between_o we_o &_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o that_o they_o say_v that_o hereby_o peter_n be_v endue_v with_o special_a commission_n above_o all_o other_o the_o apostle_n &_o we_o contrariwise_o do_v affirm_v that_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v unto_o he_o be_v speak_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n alike_o for_o the_o better_a examination_n of_o this_o it_o shall_v be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v these_o two_o point_n first_o unto_o who_o these_o word_n be_v speak_v whether_o unto_o peter_n alone_o or_o principal_o as_o the_o papist_n will_v have_v it_o or_o unto_o all_o in_o general_n second_o what_o be_v that_o power_n and_o authority_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o peter_n for_o in_o neither_o of_o these_o point_n do_v we_o agree_v with_o they_o for_o the_o first_o that_o although_o these_o word_n be_v direct_v to_o peter_n alone_o yet_o that_o thereby_o our_o saviour_n christ_n mean_v not_o to_o give_v he_o any_o special_a privilege_n or_o prerogative_n above_o his_o fellow_n but_o to_o endew_v they_o all_o with_o the_o like_a authority_n first_o both_o the_o word_n and_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o other_o place_n do_v declare_v it_o and_o second_o the_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_a &_o learned_a father_n do_v approve_v the_o same_o that_o the_o whole_a course_n and_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n do_v evict_v this_o promise_n &_o gift_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o appertain_v to_o they_o all_o it_o may_v be_v apparent_a by_o this_o first_o that_o the_o question_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v propound_v to_o they_o all_o who_o do_v you_o say_v that_o i_o be_o and_o therefore_o he_o require_v not_o the_o opinion_n of_o peter_n alone_o but_o of_o they_o all_o that_o their_o knowledge_n and_o opinion_n of_o he_o may_v better_o agree_v and_o be_v more_o constant_a true_a &_o perfect_a than_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o common_a people_n which_o before_o they_o have_v declare_v unto_o he_o and_o the_o answer_n also_o peter_n make_v be_v not_o in_o his_o own_o person_n alone_o but_o for_o they_o all_o so_o say_v austin_n as_o be_v allege_v of_o i_o before_o the_o lord_n ask_v and_o say_v say_v he_o who_o do_v you_o say_v that_o i_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_o peter_n answer_v thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n one_o give_v answer_v for_o many_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o dialogue_n appertain_v also_o unto_o all_o for_o in_o the_o end_n christ_n forbid_v not_o only_a peter_n to_o tell_v any_o body_n that_o he_o be_v jesus_n that_o christ_n but_o he_o charge_v they_o all_o to_o tell_v that_o to_o no_o man_n so_o that_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o dialogue_n the_o midst_n and_o the_o end_n appertain_v to_o all_o why_o then_o shall_v any_o special_a thing_n be_v attribute_v to_o any_o one_o above_o other_o by_o these_o word_n beside_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o alone_o to_o peter_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n in_o the_o 18._o chapter_n be_v speak_v to_o all_o in_o the_o plural_a number_n very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o whatsoever_o you_o bind_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o you_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n here_o equal_a authority_n be_v give_v to_o all_o in_o the_o same_o word_n but_o let_v we_o observe_v further_o that_o christ_n say_v here_o dabo_fw-la i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o so_o forth_o here_o the_o key_n be_v promise_v but_o not_o give_v if_o then_o christ_n when_o he_o perform_v this_o promise_n give_v not_o any_o special_a power_n to_o peter_n but_o endue_v they_o all_o with_o the_o like_a shall_v we_o imagine_v here_o any_o special_a thing_n give_v he_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o other_o in_o the_o 20._o of_o john_n 20._o john_n 20._o where_o christ_n perform_v this_o after_o his_o resurrection_n
