head_n that_o be_v her_o natural_a one_o besides_o her_o husband_n shall_v we_o therefore_o say_v that_o every_o marry_a woman_n be_v a_o monster_n with_o two_o head_n to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v as_o before_o that_o a_o head_n be_v take_v two_o way_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o member_n first_o according_a to_o the_o internal_a influence_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o head_n into_o the_o other_o member_n and_o so_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o head_n of_o one_o body_n second_o as_o to_o the_o external_a government_n so_o there_o may_v be_v two_o head_n of_o one_o body_n so_o the_o body_n of_o a_o woman_n as_o aforesaid_a have_v but_o one_o head_n from_o which_o it_o receive_v the_o influence_n of_o sensitive_a spirit_n but_o have_v two_o as_o to_o the_o government_n of_o her_o

in_o the_o church_n which_o have_v but_o one_o head_n as_o to_o the_o influx_n of_o grac_n but_o two_o as_o to_o its_o government_n whereof_o one_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o the_o other_o the_o first_o be_v only_a christ_n be_v head_n and_o all_o other_o be_v member_n the_o last_o way_n not_o only_a christ_n but_o peter_n be_v head_n who_o the_o former_a way_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o head_n that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o common_a member_n when_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o corinthiaus_fw-la that_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n make_v but_o up_o one_o entire_a mystical_a body_n which_o consist_v of_o head_n and_o member_n this_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o the_o former_a sense_n for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v plain_o there_o of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o internal_a division_n of_o his_o gift_n of_o grace_n as_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o context_n and_o so_o in_o that_o case_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o all_o beside_o christ_n be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o none_o beside_o he_o can_v be_v head_n of_o it_o but_o if_o you_o speak_v as_o to_o the_o external_a government_n than_o christ_n vicar_n may_v be_v head_n and_o all_o other_o member_n as_o in_o kingdom_n govern_v by_o a_o deputy_n or_o vice-king_n as_o aforesaid_a to_o the_o three_o i_o free_o grant_v what_o you_o urge_v out_o of_o the_o gospel_n that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v commend_v the_o care_n of_o his_o church_n to_o all_o his_o apostle_n but_o i_o deny_v that_o he_o command_v it_o equal_o to_o all_o for_o only_o to_o pater_n he_o say_v feed_v my_o sheep_n therefore_o the_o supreme_a pastorship_n be_v only_o commit_v to_o peter_n and_o to_o none_o of_o the_o rest_n nor_o do_v i_o understand_v any_o force_n in_o that_o argument_n of_o you_o which_o follow_v thus_o all_o of_o they_o be_v equal_o teach_v and_o instruct_v by_o christ_n and_o all_o of_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n equal_o therefore_o one_o have_v no_o more_o jurisdiction_n than_o another_o for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o learning_n and_o sanctity_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o another_o to_o speak_v of_o their_o power_n or_o jurisdiction_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o all_o which_o have_v equality_n of_o one_o shall_v have_v equility_n of_o the_o other_o otherwise_o a_o king_n in_o his_o kingdom_n if_o he_o have_v not_o more_o learning_n and_o holiness_n than_o his_o subject_n shall_v not_o have_v a_o great_a power_n and_o authority_n which_o you_o know_v how_o absurd_a it_o be_v to_o say_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a for_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n do_v not_o necessary_o and_o of_o themselves_o depend_v upon_o learning_n and_o sanctity_n and_o suppose_v we_o grant_v that_o all_o the_o apostle_n be_v equal_a before_o christ_n say_v to_o peter_n feed_v my_o sheep_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v all_o equal_a afterward_o but_o that_o peter_n have_v ever_o after_o that_o his_o just_a pre-eminence_n to_o the_o four_o i_o grant_v that_o paul_n do_v resist_v peter_n and_o just_o for_o peter_n be_v in_o a_o error_n and_o yet_o not_o in_o any_o article_n of_o faith_n neither_o for_o in_o that_o he_o can_v not_o err_v for_o christ_n assure_v he_o that_o he_o have_v ask_v his_o father_n that_o his_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v but_o his_o error_n be_v in_o matter_n of_o fact_n only_o because_o he_o do_v unadvised_o dissemble_v judaisme_n to_o the_o scandal_n and_o offence_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o from_o hence_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o peter_n be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n no_o more_o than_o this_o be_v a_o consequence_n david_n be_v rebuke_v by_o joah_n therefore_o david_n be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o his_o kingdom_n nay_o all_o good_a man_n will_v collect_v rather_o this_o from_o the_o reprehension_n that_o paul_n give_v to_o peter_n that_o superior_n when_o they_o be_v in_o fault_n may_v be_v reprove_v by_o inferior_n when_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o with_o due_a humility_n and_o charity_n now_o can_v this_o be_v call_v perverseness_n or_o arrogance_n in_o st._n paul_n because_o he_o bid_v it_o with_o a_o good_a zeal_n to_o take_v away_o a_o scandal_n that_o be_v like_a to_o rise_v by_o the_o unwary_a dissimulation_n of_o st._n peter_n beside_o this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o belong_v to_o the_o apostleship_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o look_v to_o the_o edification_n of_o faith_n and_o as_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o apostleship_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o it_o they_o be_v all_o equal_a though_o not_o in_o point_n of_o power_n and_o government_n for_o therein_o peter_n have_v the_o primacy_n to_o the_o five_o your_o inference_n do_v not_o hold_v that_o peter_n have_v offend_v in_o his_o person_n therefore_o the_o gares_z of_o hell_n prevail_v against_o his_o power_n so_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o just_a jurisdiction_n will_v hold_v as_o due_a to_o the_o successor_n of_o st._n peter_n though_o their_o person_n be_v never_o so_o sinful_a for_o christ_n give_v the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n to_o his_o church_n in_o the_o person_n of_o st._n peter_n so_o st._n peter_n have_v the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n as_o he_o bear_v the_o person_n of_o the_o church_n only_o beside_o all_o this_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o when_o peter_n deny_v christ_n the_o church_n be_v not_o then_o found_v upon_o he_o but_o to_o be_v found_v for_o christ_n say_v upon_o this_o rock_n i_o will_v build_v my_o church_n that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v after_o his_o resurrection_n to_o the_o six_o it_o be_v most_o

though_o saint_n paul_n saying_n be_v true_a that_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a foundation_n the_o say_n of_o saint_n john_n must_v be_v as_o true_a that_o the_o wall_n of_o that_o city_n have_v twelve_o foundation_n and_o in_o they_o thennee_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n to_o the_o seven_o it_o will_v be_v too_o long_a abusinesse_n and_o out_o of_o the_o road_n that_o we_o have_v propose_v to_o ourselves_o to_o prove_v out_o of_o antiquity_n that_o st._n peter_n be_v at_o rome_n which_o no_o question_n be_v more_o sure_a than_o that_o you_o and_o i_o be_v once_o in_o london_n and_o never_o be_v deny_v till_o some_o upstart_n doctor_n of_o you_o be_v please_v to_o make_v a_o question_n of_o it_o i_o be_o inform_v that_o all_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n of_o the_o church_n do_v understand_v the_o epistle_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n as_o send_v on_o purpose_n to_o confirm_v they_o in_o that_o faith_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v by_o the_o preach_a of_o st._n peter_n there_o and_o be_v so_o famous_a as_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o so_o he_o himself_o imply_v when_o he_o say_v he_o write_v to_o they_o some_o spiritual_a gift_n to_o the_o end_n that_o that_o they_o may_v be_v establish_v etc._n etc._n paul_n will_v confirm_v what_o peter_n have_v preach_v that_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o two_o apostle_n their_o faith_n may_v be_v strengthen_v and_o as_o for_o his_o so_o late_a come_n to_o rome_n it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o error_n it_o be_v true_a he_o be_v five_o year_n in_o pontus_n and_o asia_n and_o

in_o a_o council_n there_o which_o be_v the_o groan_v of_o your_o error_n in_o say_v that_o he_o be_v eighteen_o year_n in_o and_o about_o jerusalem_n before_o he_o go_v to_o rome_n but_o howsoever_o all_o that_o
four_o mark_v you_o make_v be_v to_o exalt_v and_o oppose_v himself_o to_o and_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n and_o that_o you_o say_v the_o pope_n do_v when_o he_o exalt_v himself_o above_o

out_o of_o s._n john_n that_o he_o must_v deny_v jesus_n christ_n which_o you_o say_v the_o pope_n do_v by_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o concern_v the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n and_o introduce_v of_o new_a mediator_n but_o that_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o corruption_n of_o you_o as_o you_o will_v see_v in_o my_o last_o paper_n the_o six_o mark_n again_o you_o make_v to_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o worker_n of_o false_a miracle_n so_o you_o say_v the_o pope_n do_v at_o loretto_n and_o other_o place_n i_o wonder_v your_o understanding_n be_v so_o weak_a as_o to_o think_v that_o we_o think_v that_o the_o pope_n do_v the_o loretto_n miracle_n but_o god_n if_o you_o will_v prove_v any_o thing_n as_o to_o this_o point_n you_o shall_v prove_v indeed_o that_o the_o pope_n do_v those_o very_a miracle_n which_o the_o scripture_n foretell_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v do_v 13.13.15_o revel_v 13.13.15_o as_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v fire_n come_v

as_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o have_v be_v attempt_v yet_o by_o any_o pope_n the_o seven_o and_o last_o mark_v you_o give_v be_v that_o he_o cause_v all_o both_o small_a and_o great_a rich_a and_o poor_a free_a and_o bond_n to_o receive_v a_o mark_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o pope_n you_o say_v plain_o do_v that_o 14.9_o revel_v 16.13_o &_o ch_z 14.9_o when_o he_o impose_v his_o character_n upon_o

three_o condition_n require_v by_o the_o text_n to_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o mark_n first_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v common_a to_o all_o great_a and_o little_a rich_a and_o poor_a bond_n and_o free_a second_o that_o he_o shall_v impose_v his_o character_n either_o in_o their_o forehead_n or_o right_a hand_n three_o that_o none_o but_o he_o that_o have_v his_o mark_n or_o character_n

to_o conclude_v your_o trouble_n and_o mina_fw-la upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n can_v possible_o err_v and_o that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n be_v that_o church_n disperse_v over_o all_o the_o world_n i_o prove_v by_o most_o express_a scripture_n thus_o how_o that_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v clear_a by_o many_o scripture_n what_o probability_n then_o nay_o what_o possibility_n be_v there_o that_o a_o thing_n so_o near_o relate_v to_o he_o and_o in_o so_o high_a dear_a and_o honourable_a relation_n shall_v be_v forsake_v by_o he_o first_o that_o the_o church_n be_v his_o body_n be_v plain_a out_o of_o s._n paul_n who_o tell_v we_o 4._o eph._n

speak_v of_o christ_n only_o as_o he_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o internal_a influence_n of_o his_o gift_n of_o grace_n and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v

for_o all_o be_v to_o receive_v grace_n from_o christ_n the_o head_n not_o from_o saint_n peter_n or_o the_o pope_n but_o if_o you_o speak_v of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v head_n of_o the_o churrh_n by_o his_o eternal_a government_n of_o it_o than_o not_o only_o he_o himself_o but_o peter_n also_o be_v the_o head_n for_o though_o to_o he_o primary_o and_o in_o his_o proper_a power_n the_o government_n belong_v so_o secondary_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o other_o and_o by_o a_o power_n derive_v from_o he_o and_o whereas_o i_o know_v here_o you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o reply_v that_o the_o church_n have_v two_o head_n which_o be_v monstrous_a i_o answer_v that_o a_o kingdom_n be_v not_o to_o be_v say_v to_o have_v two_o head_n when_o the_o king_n be_v absent_a and_o a_o
