of_o the_o nation_n 28.18_o for_o whereas_o after_o his_o ascension_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o all_o power_n be_v give_v he_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n his_o meaning_n therein_o be_v only_o this_o that_o now_o all_o power_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v be_v under_o his_o humanity_n as_o before_o it_o be_v under_o his_o deity_n and_o that_o as_o all_o man_n even_o

for_o the_o effect_n thereof_o there_o need_v no_o alteration_n of_o state_n or_o new_a conveyance_n for_o that_o as_o all_o other_o creature_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n whether_o

the_o second_o adam_n as_o in_o the_o first_o for_o as_o the_o second_o adam_n do_v not_o think_v good_a to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o a_o new_a generation_n by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n wherewith_o to_o propagate_v his_o church_n but_o make_v choice_n of_o the_o old_a adam_n issue_n to_o new_a graft_n upon_o so_o may_v we_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o course_n most_o answerable_a thereunto_o that_o when_o he_o mean_v to_o adorn_v and_o bespangle_v his_o church_n with_o sceptre_n crown_n and_o authority_n he_o will_v not_o make_v new_a crown_n or_o new_a sceptre_n or_o take_v away_o crown_n and_o sceptre_n from_o the_o old_a possessor_n to_o adorn_v his_o follower_n withal_o but_o only_o new_a graft_n upon_o those_o old_a crown_n and_o potentate_n and_o so_o most_o sweet_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o though_o he_o do_v not_o make_v his_o follower_n king_n yet_o do_v he_o make_v king_n his_o follower_n which_o as_o it_o be_v all_o one_o for_o the_o outward_a glory_n and_o countenance_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o it_o be_v far_o more_o agree_v with_o the_o property_n and_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n namely_o in_o win_a king_n unto_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o gentle_a easy_a weak_a and_o peaceable_a mean_n make_v choice_n of_o sheep_n and_o not_o wolf_n or_o lion_n for_o his_o ambassador_n and_o that_o when_o he_o send_v to_o wolf_n and_o lion_n and_o worse_a than_o tiger_n that_o so_o those_o rebel_n in_o the_o day_n of_o visitation_n when_o they_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v deal_v with_o they_o and_o how_o in_o stead_n of_o sheep_n he_o can_v have_v send_v wolf_n and_o lion_n in_o their_o own_o kind_n to_o have_v worry_v and_o destroy_v they_o then_o as_o overcome_v with_o the_o coal_n of_o fire_n which_o his_o long_a suffering_n have_v cast_v upon_o they_o they_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o soul_n present_v he_o and_o his_o gospel_n with_o their_o sceptre_n crown_n dignity_n and_o possession_n yea_o they_o thus_o break_v forth_o into_o most_o vehement_a and_o sincere_a protestation_n as_o our_o so_o christian_a sovereign_a have_v teach_v they_o unto_o his_o majesty_n alone_o i_o have_v devote_a my_o sceptre_n 249._o my_o sword_n my_o pen_n my_o whole_a industry_n my_o whole_a self_n with_o all_o that_o be_v i_o in_o whole_a and_o in_o part_n i_o do_v it_o i_o do_v it_o in_o all_o humble_a acknowledgement_n

of_o my_o earthly_a kingdom_n we_o conclude_v then_o that_o neither_o divine_a ordinance_n nor_o church_n benefit_n do_v enforce_v or_o persuade_v this_o ground_n without_o which_o saint_n peter_n can_v be_v entitle_v unto_o sovereignty_n that_o the_o more_o spiritual_a man_n be_v the_o more_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v possessor_n of_o authority_n which_o conclusion_n also_o be_v it_o grant_v yet_o will_v not_o peter_n supremacy_n thereupon_o ensue_v unless_o it_o be_v also_o prove_v that_o in_o spiritual_a gift_n and_o grace_n peter_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o

ordinary_o first_o name_v when_o the_o apostle_n be_v rehearse_v 2._o that_o our_o saviour_n three_o several_a time_n give_v he_o charge_n to_o feed_v his_o sheep_n 3._o that_o our_o saviour_n

especial_o by_o he_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n affair_n we_o thus_o short_o answer_v they_o in_o order_n and_o first_o concern_v his_o nominal_a priority_n we_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o force_n to_o entitle_v he_o unto_o any_o principality_n it_o be_v not_o avoidable_a among_o the_o most_o equal_v but_o that_o there_o must_v be_v such_o kind_n of_o precedency_n as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o trinity_n though_o neither_o be_v peter_n every_o where_o first_o name_v both_o 2._o james_n and_o 1.40_o andrew_n be_v sometime_o name_v before_o he_o 2._o and_o as_o for_o our_o saviour_n triple_a charge_v he_o to_o feed_v his_o sheep_n we_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o check_n then_o a_o grace_n to_o be_v often_o call_v upon_o to_o do_v a_o duty_n and_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o peter_n be_v sorry_a when_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o he_o the_o three_o time_n etc._n etc._n it_o may_v seem_v that_o peter_n take_v it_o no_o otherwise_o as_o perhaps_o conceit_v such_o tripling_n of_o his_o charge_n to_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o glance_n at_o his_o triple_a denial_n 3._o fron_n the_o like_a consideration_n of_o peter_n weakness_n we_o answer_v to_o the_o three_o may_v proceed_v our_o saviour_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v pray_v for_o he_o for_o no_o doubt_n our_o saviour_n prayer_n be_v as_o frequent_v &_o effectual_a for_o the_o rest_n though_o he_o see_v not_o the_o like_a cause_n to_o tell_v they_o so_o much_o 4._o and_o as_o for_o our_o saviour_n pay_v the_o tribute_n for_o he_o we_o answer_v that_o it_o may_v rather_o argue_v peter_n poverty_n and_o subjection_n than_o any_o kind_n of_o excellency_n and_o dominion_n the_o rest_n also_o perhaps_o not_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o tribute_n which_o be_v then_o demand_v either_o because_o they_o be_v no_o dweller_n at_o capernaum_n as_o peter_n be_v and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v if_o it_o be_v the_o emperor_n tribute_n or_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o first_o bear_v in_o their_o family_n of_o who_o only_o the_o other_o tribute_n towards_o the_o temple_n be_v demand_v 5._o and_o as_o for_o our_o saviour_n so_o ordinary_a discourse_v with_o peter_n we_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o natural_a father_n to_o make_v choice_n rather_o of_o their_o little_a one_o to_o oppose_v and_o discourse_v withal_o than_o their_o man_n grow_v son_n especial_o when_o their_o intent_n therein_o be_v to_o teach_v stander_n by_o the_o most_o ready_a answerer_n rather_o than_o the_o more_o wary_a being_n fit_a for_o such_o purpose_n 6._o and_o as_o for_o the_o new_a name_n of_o peter_n we_o answer_v that_o

therefore_o be_v not_o universal_o the_o christian_n head_n that_o those_o king_n and_o governor_n have_v such_o authority_n more_o than_o peter_n have_v we_o prove_v because_o they_o stand_v more_o
