Ans. That Peter was one of the eldest in yeares amongst the Apostles we deny not, but that he was the eldest of all as it* 1.1 seems Eliazar was, cannot be proved; as that he was set over the Church of Christ, hath been sufficiently confuted; and thus you see rather then faile, what inventions they have to uphold the proud and vain-glorious assertions touching their lord god the Pope, and to prove his priviledge and dignity from such men as have no relation at all unto him.
So that this that hath been spoken may give every Christian, yea even the Pope himself satisfaction, touching his pride and arrogancy, in assuming to himself that which Peter (whom he pretendeth to succeed) would have bin ashamed of; behaving him∣self altogether like a Priest of the Law, whose ceremonies are abolished; but nothing like the Ministers of the Gospel, which is permanent; or like another Elimas the Sorcerer, Act. 13. 8. 10. full of subtilty and mischief, a childe of the Devill, and an ene∣my to all righteousnesse, forcing Scripture contrary to the true meaning thereof, although he knoweth that it tendeth to his▪ owne ruine and perdition.
