The answer.
I say first, that the bishop of Rome is not saint Peters suc∣••essor, [ 1] and I haue already prooued it effectually. I say second∣ly, that all Christs sheepe were committed to all the apostles [ 2] in like manner. For Christ gaue all his apostles charge and authoritie, to go into all the worlde, and to teach all nations. Which answer saint Austen sheweth excellently, in the person of saint Peter to be accomplished: his owne words are these; Ecclesiae catholicae personam sustinet Petrus, & cùm ei dicitur,* 1.1ad omnes dicitur: amas me? pasce oues meas. Peter representeth the person of the church catholique, and when it is said to him, it is said to all: Louest thou me? Feede my sheepe. Loe, the popish bulwarke is battered downe.
