very_a proper_a occasion_n to_o mention_v st._n peter_n authority_n if_o he_o have_v any_o such_o as_o they_o boast_v of_o as_o you_o may_v see_v 1_o eph._n chap._n 1._o now_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_n and_o i_o of_o apollo_n and_o i_o of_o cephas_n or_o peter_n and_o i_o of_o christ_n be_v christ_n divide_v or_o be_v paul_n crucify_a for_o you_o etc._n etc._n those_o people_n certain_o know_v nothing_o of_o st._n peter_n supremacy_n nor_o st._n paul_n neither_o otherwise_o he_o will_v hardly_o have_v omit_v to_o tell_v they_o of_o such_o a_o infallible_a cure_n for_o their_o division_n in_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o galatian_n we_o have_v many_o argument_n against_o st._n peter_n pretend_a supremacy_n st._n paul_n tell_v we_o there_o that_o he_o have_v no_o superior_a that_o he_o have_v his_o authority_n from_o none_o but_o christ_n ch._n 1.17_o he_o compare_v himself_o with_o st._n peter_n and_o say_v that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o uncircumcision_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o as_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o circumcision_n be_v unto_o peter_n ch._n 2._o v._n 7._o he_o mention_n st._n peter_n as_o of_o the_o same_o authority_n with_o james_n and_o john_n when_o james_n cephas_n and_o john_n who_o seem_v to_o be_v pillar_n verse_n the_o 9th_o and_o a_o little_a further_o he_o tell_v we_o how_o he_o open_o withstand_v peter_n to_o the_o face_n because_o he_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v urge_v at_o large_a but_o i_o content_v myself_o only_o tomention_v they_o but_o from_o all_o together_o i_o think_v i_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o this_o promise_n of_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o intend_v st._n peter_n any_o power_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o consequent_o not_o any_o to_o his_o successor_n if_o he_o have_v any_o over_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n who_o be_v successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o general_a though_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o st._n peter_n have_v a_o power_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o only_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v who_o care_n and_o consequent_o authority_n be_v not_o consign_v to_o particular_a church_n as_o it_o be_v think_v fit_a in_o order_n to_o the_o better_a government_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o authority_n of_o bishop_n shall_v be_v since_o but_o be_v leave_v at_o large_a and_o unconfined_a as_o to_o any_o certain_a limit_n either_o of_o person_n or_o place_n but_o suppose_v it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o st._n peter_n have_v such_o power_n as_o they_o affirm_v he_o have_v yet_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n in_o scripture_n about_o a_o successor_n or_o about_o the_o vast_a privilege_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o this_o point_n and_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v as_o little_a evidence_n in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o church_n for_o many_o age_n of_o this_o pretend_a authority_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n rome_n be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o plant_v the_o christian_a religion_n a_o vast_a city_n and_o the_o head_n of_o a_o very_a great_a empire_n this_o must_v of_o itself_o give_v the_o bishop_n of_o it_o a_o great_a influence_n in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v almost_o all_o within_o the_o roman_a empire_n this_o make_v all_o

course_n of_o time_n bring_v great_a riches_n to_o it_o and_o if_o we_o add_v to_o this_o that_o it_o be_v honour_v by_o the_o preach_a and_o martyrdom_n of_o two_o great_a apostle_n st._n peter_n and_o st._n paul_n we_o see_v plain_a reason_n why_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v likely_a to_o make_v a_o great_a figure_n in_o the_o church_n but_o as_o for_o real_a authority_n such_o as_o be_v now_o pretend_a there_o do_v not_o appear_v any_o footstep_n of_o it_o for_o several_a age_n as_o for_o speculative_a opinion_n we_o may_v not_o perhaps_o have_v so_o certain_a a_o account_n of_o they_o so_o long_o after_o unless_o of_o those_o which_o by_o some_o accident_n or_o other_o come_v to_o be_v dispute_v but_o government_n be_v a_o practical_a thing_n and_o there_o happen_v every_o

what_o he_o now_o make_v himself_o his_o power_n can_v have_v be_v no_o more_o a_o matter_n of_o controversy_n than_o it_o can_v be_v make_v a_o controversy_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o christian_a church_n for_o the_o same_o history_n that_o clear_v the_o one_o must_v at_o the_o same_o time_n clear_a the_o other_o the_o old_a body_n of_o history_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v that_o of_o eusebius_n which_o contain_v a_o account_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o it_o for_o above_o 300_o year_n now_o if_o the_o pope_n be_v monarch_n of_o the_o church_n for_o those_o 300_o year_n we_o can_v no_o more_o miss_v to_o see_v it_o in_o that_o history_n than_o we_o can_v read_v any_o history_n of_o england_n for_o such_o a_o number_n of_o year_n and_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o we_o

that_o history_n the_o most_o likely_a place_n to_o find_v his_o authority_n if_o he_o have_v any_o be_v in_o the_o work_v of_o st._n cyprian_n which_o contain_v more_o of_o the_o ancient_a
