NOw who (that is in his wits) will beleeve that Peter did weare a triple Crown of Gold, who had not (sometimes) a penny in his purse▪ Act. 3. 6. as also in that his Lord and Master* 1.1 was crowned with Thornes; I blush therefore to see men so stupid, as to beleeve that the Apostles used such worldly pomp, whose glory was their poverty, and the contempt of the world their Crown and suffering; and if there had been any such Crown, it had rather belonged to Paul, then Peter, for he was the Apo∣stle of the Gentiles, the other of the Circumcision. Againe, if that be Peters triple Crown, which is to be seen, in Saint Peters Church, why doth his Holinesse refuse to weare it, but rather make use of a Massie triple Crown of Gold and precious Stone; and as for Aarons Crown, it was a Type of Christ, and not of the Pope, and temporall things doth not prefigure temporall (one triple Crown another) but that outward Crown did shadow: forth that Spirituall Kingdome, and regall dignity of Christ.
