argument_n that_o they_o can_v final_o err_v in_o any_o point_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n peter_n himself_o who_o faith_n be_v special_o pray_v for_o as_o there_o be_v special_a cause_n for_o his_o

of_o the_o gospel_n i_o say_v to_o peter_n before_o they_o all_o 2._o i_o know_v the_o papist_n will_v say_v this_o be_v a_o error_n of_o conversation_n and_o of_o fact_n only_o not_o a_o error_n in_o

truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o he_o counterfeit_v before_o the_o jew_n for_o no_o worldly_a respect_n but_o because_o he_o think_v it_o be_v his_o duty_n before_o god_n to_o so_o do_v rather_o than_o to_o offend_v the_o jew_n and_o where_o as_o some_o of_o they_o say_v the_o pope_n can_v induce_v any_o other_o man_n into_o error_n although_o he_o err_v himself_o let_v they_o consider_v this_o example_n of_o peter_n who_o not_o only_o err_v himself_o but_o also_o bring_v yea_o compel_v other_o to_o judaize_v with_o he_o insomuch_o that_o barnabas_n also_o be_v carry_v with_o they_o into_o the_o same_o dissimulation_n wherefore_o although_o christ_n pray_v for_o peter_n faith_n that_o it_o may_v not_o fail_v yet_o peter_n both_o err_v &_o induce_v other_o into_o error_n with_o he_o although_o be_v admonish_v by_o paul_n he_o do_v willing_o reform_v his_o error_n wherefore_o this_o matter_n be_v clear_a that_o the_o establish_n of_o peter_n faith_n from_o fail_v be_v not_o to_o privilege_v he_o from_o err_a but_o from_o despair_v &_o therefore_o can_v not_o extend_v to_o his_o successor_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v but_o a_o personal_a benefit_n obtain_v for_o

many_o other_o intricate_a question_n and_o in_o extricable_a doubt_n will_v grow_v before_o we_o can_v be_v resolve_v who_o be_v peter_n successor_n for_o see_v all_o bishop_n be_v successor_n of_o
