Actes 2. 14.
The text.
But ∴ Peter standing with the eleuen, lifted vp his voice and spake to them.
The note.
Peter the head of the rest, and now newlie replenished with all know∣ledge and fortitude, maketh the first sermon.
The answer.
If you did not with colour of words go about to beguile the ig∣norant, we would not stumble at your naming Peter the head of the rest, but now because vnder that terme you would haue men vnderstand that supremacie and superioritie which you cha∣lenge for the bishop of Rome, therefore it is not amisse to shew how vaine your collection is out of this place. Peter spake for himselfe & the rest, Ergo he is head of the rest. Master Recorder speaketh for my Lord Maior of London, and his brethren, Ergo master Recorder is aboue my Lord Maior and the bench. And where you say he maketh now his first sermon, except you meane the first after he receiued the gift of tongues, you are deceiued, for he both preached when Christ was vpon the earth,* 1.1 and afterward at the election of another, into the roome of Iudas.
