the_o sick_a for_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cardinal_n great_a argument_n again_o because_o peter_n be_v send_v to_o samaria_n to_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n 9.25_o and_o to_o lay_v hand_n on_o they_o that_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o to_o confound_v simon_n magus_n the_o sorcerer_n therefore_o he_o be_v primate_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o have_v monarchical_a jurisdiction_n and_o yet_o the_o pope_n be_v by_o this_o time_n something_o more_o monarchical_a than_o peter_n for_o he_o will_v think_v scorn_n to_o be_v send_v as_o a_o ambassador_n of_o the_o church_n from_o rome_n to_o the_o indian_n among_o who_o his_o gospel_n have_v be_v in_o these_o latter_a age_n preach_v and_o doubtless_o they_o will_v be_v something_o more_o confirm_v than_o they_o be_v by_o the_o sovereign_a virtue_n of_o his_o prayer_n and_o presence_n but_o alas_o what_o argument_n be_v it_o of_o monarchy_n to_o be_v send_v by_o other_o in_o a_o message_n and_o that_o too_o not_o without_o a_o associate_n who_o join_v with_o he_o in_o the_o confirmation_n of_o that_o church_n and_o if_o the_o confute_v or_o curse_v of_o simon_n magus_n be_v a_o argument_n

6._o because_o paul_n go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o see_v peter_n therefore_o peter_n be_v monarch_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o why_o shall_v not_o by_o this_o argument_n elizabeth_n be_v

enter_v into_o the_o house_n of_o zacharias_n and_o salute_v elizabeth_n but_o we_o find_v no_o argument_n but_o of_o equality_n in_o the_o text_n for_o he_o go_v to_o see_v he_o as_o a_o brother_n but_o not_o to_o do_v homage_n to_o he_o or_o receive_v authority_n from_o he_o as_o a_o monarch_n else_o why_o go_v he_o not_o up_o immediate_o to_o jerusalem_n but_o stay_v three_o year_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n by_o the_o commission_n he_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n alone_o and_o how_o come_v s._n paul_n to_o be_v so_o free_a or_o s._n peter_n to_o be_v so_o much_o more_o
