because_o every_o head_n ought_v to_o infuse_v vigour_n and_o lively_a virtue_n into_o all_o the_o member_n as_o our_o head_n for_o instance_n infuse_v vital_a spirit_n into_o every_o part_n of_o our_o body_n for_o sense_n and_o motion_n but_o christ_n alone_o can_v infuse_v that_o lively_a vigour_n into_o the_o member_n ergo._fw-la true_a say_v the_o papist_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n but_o he_o be_v the_o invisible_a head_n object_n therefore_o there_o be_v need_n of_o another_o visible_a head_n who_o must_v be_v christ_n vicar_n on_o earth_n and_o peter_n the_o apostle_n successor_n to_o wit_n the_o pope_n of_o rome_n whereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o strange_a doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n solut._n there_o be_v contain_v many_o puddle_n of_o error_n the_o first_o error_n be_v that_o christ_n have_v need_n of_o a_o vicar_n or_o deputy_n in_o earth_n whereunto_o we_o oppose_v these_o argument_n first_o there_o be_v no_o vicar_n but_o imply_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o principal_a regent_n or_o governor_n for_o therefore_o king_n have_v their_o deputy_n because_o they_o be_v but_o weak_a man_n not_o able_a to_o look_v unto_o all_o their_o subject_n by_o themselves_o but_o christ_n be_v a_o omnipotent_a king_n second_o he_o need_v a_o deputy_n who_o can_v upon_o all_o occasion_n be_v every_o where_o present_a with_o his_o subject_n but_o christ_n be_v always_o every_o where_o present_a with_o his_o member_n as_o he_o promise_v matthew_n 28._o wheresoever_o two_o or_o three_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o my_o name_n there_o be_o i_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o that_o be_v immediate_o be_o i_o present_a with_o they_o mag._n as_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n teach_v the_o second_o error_n be_v that_o they_o think_v it_o a_o righteous_a thing_n for_o some_o one_o man_n and_o he_o a_o bishop_n or_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n to_o attribute_v unto_o himself_o this_o power_n to_o be_v the_o universal_a head_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n whereunto_o we_o oppose_v these_o argument_n first_o because_o christ_n do_v plain_o forbid_v primacy_n in_o the_o church_n matth._n 20._o luk._n 22._o second_o because_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o divide_v the_o office_n of_o the_o apostleship_n among_o themselves_o for_o that_o they_o see_v that_o one_o man_n can_v not_o be_v over_o all_o church_n as_o the_o scripture_n witness_v gal._n 2.7_o 8_o 9_o where_o paul_n say_v when_o they_o see_v that_o the_o gospel_n of_o uncircumcision_n be_v commit_v unto_o i_o as_o the_o gospel_n of_o circumcision_n unto_o peter_n and_o when_o james_n and_o cephas_n and_o john_n which_o be_v count_v pillar_n know_v of_o the_o grace_n give_v unto_o i_o they_o give_v unto_o i_o and_o barnabas_n the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v the_o office_n of_o the_o apostle_n among_o the_o gentile_n and_o they_o execute_v the_o same_o office_n among_o the_o jew_n 3._o moses_n who_o be_v a_o far_o great_a man_n they_o pope_n can_v not_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o judge_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n alone_o but_o be_v constrain_v to_o part_v it_o as_o it_o be_v exod._n 18._o much_o less_o therefore_o can_v the_o pope_n govern_v the_o whole_a church_n the_o three_o error_n be_v that_o they_o feign_v peter_n to_o have_v be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n multi_fw-la whereas_o notwithstanding_o 1._o christ_n flat_o forbid_v peter_n and_o his_o other_o apostle_n to_o seek_v after_o this_o headship_n and_o 2._o paul_n to_o the_o gal._n 2.7_o in_o plain_a term_n say_v that_o james_n and_o peter_n and_o john_n be_v count_v or_o think_v to_o be_v pillar_n that_o be_v by_o a_o erroneous_a conceit_n they_o be_v take_v to_o be_v such_o by_o they_o who_o may_v by_o the_o abuse_n of_o that_o title_n deceive_v the_o galath_n object_n they_o object_n that_o place_n mat_n 16._o thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n super_fw-la hanc_fw-la petran_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n solut._n whereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o he_o say_v not_o and_o upon_o thou_o peter_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n but_o we_o say_v this_o be_v the_o intention_n and_o scope_n of_o christ_n speech_n namely_o to_o commend_v the_o confession_n of_o peter_n aug._n which_o he_o set_v out_o by_o a_o paranomasia_n or_o allusion_n unto_o the_o name_n of_o peter_n as_o if_o he_o say_v i_o right_o set_v upon_o thou_o the_o name_n of_o peter_n see_v the_o first_o chapter_n of_o john_n where_o christ_n give_v peter_n his_o name_n because_o thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o other_o apostle_n have_v make_v such_o a_o confession_n and_o utter_v such_o a_o doctrine_n as_o upon_o which_o as_o it_o be_v on_o a_o rock_n my_o church_n shall_v be_v build_v first_o then_o christ_n commend_v peter_n and_o in_o the_o person_n of_o peter_n all_o the_o apostle_n for_o that_o they_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n second_o he_o show_v the_o profit_n and_o fruit_n of_o that_o confession_n to_o wit_n for_o that_o this_o doctrine_n and_o confession_n be_v to_o be_v the_o foundation_n whereupon_o christ_n church_n shall_v be_v build_v so_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v overturn_v by_o satan_n otherwise_o that_o peter_n never_o understand_v these_o word_n of_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o be_v that_o stone_n upon_o which_o the_o ch._n be_v rear_v he_o himself_o profess_v open_o 1._o pet._n 2.4_o where_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v that_o very_a stone_n upon_o the_o which_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v build_v the_o four_o error_n be_v that_o they_o take_v for_o certainty_n that_o peter_n be_v bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o so_o consequent_o that_o he_o be_v at_o rome_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v uncertain_a neither_o can_v it_o be_v firm_o prove_v that_o peter_n be_v ever_o at_o rome_n but_o the_o contrary_a for_o that_o place_n which_o before_o we_o cite_v gal._n 2._o be_v very_o remarkable_a namely_o in_o that_o paul_n do_v so_o divide_v the_o apostleship_n and_o part_v it_o with_o peter_n they_o shake_v hand_n of_o the_o motion_n that_o paul_n shall_v go_v to_o the_o gentile_n to_o convert_v they_o and_o peter_n shall_v labour_v in_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n this_o promise_n the_o right_a hand_n be_v give_v upon_o it_o peter_z shall_v have_v break_v if_o he_o have_v go_v to_o rome_n to_o convert_v the_o gentile_n neither_o do_v we_o read_v that_o two_o apostle_n go_v into_o the_o same_o city_n especial_o it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n wherefore_o sithence_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o all_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o paul_n preach_v the_o gospel_n at_o rome_n what_o need_n be_v there_o that_o peter_n shall_v come_v thither_o especial_o at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n as_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o they_o be_v both_o at_o rome_n in_o nero_n his_o time_n ii_o out_o of_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o the_o second_o to_o timoth._n v._n 16._o in_o my_o first_o defence_n say_v paul_n when_o i_o appear_v before_o nero_n there_o be_v none_o that_o stand_v to_o i_o but_o all_o forsake_v i_o i_o pray_v god_n it_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n but_o if_o peter_n have_v then_o be_v bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o the_o papist_n will_v have_v
people_n i_o answer_v they_o first_o that_o the_o pharisy_n also_o do_v run_v about_o both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n to_o draw_v man_n unto_o their_o faith_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o their_o religion_n be_v not_o true_a second_o i_o say_v that_o the_o papist_n have_v slay_v more_o in_o the_o indies_n than_o they_o have_v convert_v as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o a_o place_n which_o i_o have_v cite_v in_o my_o politics_n l._n 1._o c._n 4._o that_o in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n a_o hundred_o forty_o thousand_o man_n be_v murder_v by_o they_o three_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o devil_n also_o go_v a_o compass_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o seduce_v many_o yet_o be_v he_o for_o that_o never_o a_o whit_n the_o better_a four_o i_o aver_v that_o our_o minister_n also_o have_v teach_v the_o true_a

send_v unto_o those_o nation_n some_o light_n of_o his_o essence_n and_o his_o truth_n by_o the_o papist_n and_o afterward_o will_v make_v these_o thing_n shine_v more_o clear_o ununto_o they_o by_o the_o true_a and_o faithful_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n object_n the_o four_o note_n the_o papist_n say_v be_v unity_n and_o good_a agreement_n solut._n i_o answer_v consent_n and_o unity_n be_v but_o so_o far_o a_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n aug._n as_o the_o consent_n be_v in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n and_o not_o in_o evil_a and_o falsehood_n for_o such_o a_o agreement_n in_o evil_a and_o falsity_n be_v among_o the_o very_a devil_n and_o what_o great_a agreement_n &_o consent_n then_o among_o robber_n so_o also_o among_o the_o turk_n there_o be_v very_o great_a consent_n so_o that_o

there_o be_v great_a consent_n in_o the_o truth_n for_o howsoever_o after_o luther_n time_n there_o arise_v many_o church_n the_o devil_n be_v always_o busy_a to_o cast_v his_o plot_n against_o the_o true_a church_n and_o to_o stir_v up_o in_o it_o diverse_a heart_n yet_o the_o orthodox_n professor_n be_v at_o good_a agreement_n about_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n as_o that_o excellent_a book_n call_v the_o harmony_n of_o confession_n do_v testify_v wherein_o it_o be_v manifest_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v exceed_o great_a consent_n betwixt_o the_o church_n of_o france_n england_n scotland_n bohemia_n and_o those_o which_o be_v in_o germany_n near_o unto_o rhine_n and_o in_o other_o province_n for_o that_o disagreement_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o lutheran_n and_o the_o orthodox_n professor_n do_v not_o straightway_o quite_o dissolve_v the_o unity_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o true_a church_n three_o i_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v so_o great_a agreement_n in_o the_o romish_a church_n as_o they_o boast_v of_o for_o it_o can_v be_v easy_o show_v that_o the_o popish_a writer_n agree_v not_o in_o any_o one_o article_n among_o themselves_o as_o it_o do_v appear_v out_o of_o bellarmine_n who_o ordinary_o dispute_v against_o other_o papist_n and_o allege_v their_o opposition_n and_o contradiction_n to_o themselves_o this_o may_v further_o appear_v by_o joh._n pappius_fw-la and_o mathias_n john_n his_o book_n of_o the_o sect_n and_o dissension_n and_o contradiction_n among_o popish_a doctor_n print_v at_o basil_n 1565_o whereunto_o the_o papist_n have_v

that_o bare_a or_o secondary_a propriety_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n this_o propriety_n do_v also_o agree_v that_o it_o be_v catholic_n &_o that_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o place_n 404._o not_o because_o it_o possess_v many_o kingdom_n but_o because_o it_o be_v scatter_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n &_o not_o tie_v to_o any_o certain_a place_n to_o any_o determinate_a country_n or_o city_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n because_o it_o do_v consist_v of_o man_n of_o all_o sort_n gather_v out_o of_o the_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n of_o

be_v with_o you_o even_o until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n four_o in_o respect_n of_o unity_n because_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v at_o all_o time_n but_o one_o to_o wit_n in_o unity_n of_o

by_o these_o propriety_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o pure_a church_n but_o be_v very_o corrupt_a even_o as_o a_o rot_a apple_n be_v a_o apple_n corrupt_v and_o no_o otherwise_o than_o a_o

manifest_a reason_n the_o first_o a_o idolatrous_a church_n be_v not_o the_o true_a &_o pure_a church_n but_o such_o a_o one_o be_v the_o popish_a church_n ergo_fw-la the_o proposition_n be_v
