So likewise saith Bede, Potestas Ligandi, & Soluendi, quamuis Soli Petro à Domino data videatur, tamen absque ulla dubietate noscendum est, quòd & Coeteris Apostolis data est: The Power of Binding, and Loosing, notwithstanding it seem to be given Only unto peter, yet without all doubt we must understand, that it was given also to the rest of the Apostles.
So likewise saithe Beda, Potestas Ligandi, & Soluēdi, quamuis Soli Petro à Domino data videatur, tamen absque vlla dubietate noscendum est, quòd & Coeteris Apostolis data est: The Power of Bindinge, and Loosinge, notwithstanding it seeme to be geeuen Onely vnto peter, yet without al doubte wee muste vnderstande, that it was geeuen also to the reste of the Apostles.
Briefly, M. Hardinges own Scholastical Doctors Confess, that the Power of the Apostles was One, and Equal. But they say, that the whole multitude of the Church was committed only unto Peter: and not likewise to any other: and that therein only standeth all the difference.1 Heruaeus saith, Quamuis Apostoli eandem habuerint à Christo, & aequalem potestatem Clavium, & Jurisdictionis, ⟨p. 163⟩tamen Jurisdictionem, 2sivè Materiam subiectam, non habuit, nisi Petrus, & cui eam Petrus committere voluit: Notwithstanding the Apostles received of Christ equal Power of the Keys, and Jurisdiction, yet the Jurisdiction, or matter wherein to use their Power, none had, but Only Peter, and to whom so ever Peter would commit the same. And thus he imagineth, that all the Apostles, saving Only Peter, had Keys given them, but no House to Open: and Jurisdiction, but no people to govern.
