This Multiplication of Heavens, as I have said, is but a fantasy: and yet to M. Hardinges purpose it maketh nothing. For Origen by this word Peter, meant not Peter the Apostle, but any other Godly Learned Priest, or Bishop: whom he expresseth here under the name of Peter. For it followeth immediately, Ergo, quantò melior fuerit, qui soluit, tantò beatior erit, qui soluitur: quoniam in omnibus solutus est Coelis: Therefore the better man he is, that looseth, the more blessed is he, that is Loosed: 1for that he is Loosed in all the Heavens.

Petra enim est, quisquis est Discipulus Christi: If wee speake the same, that Peter spake, wee are made Peter: And vnto vs it shalbe saide, Thou arte Peter. For he is the Rocke, that is the Disciple of Christe.
