For that ye tell us so many fair tales of Peters Succession, we demand of you, wherein the Pope succeedeth Peter? You answer, He succeedeth him in his Chair: as if Peter had been sometime installed in Rome, and had sate solemnly all day with his Triple Crown, in his Pontificalibus, and in a Chair of gold. And thus, having lost both Religion, and Doctrine, ye think it sufficient, ⟨p. 727⟩at least to hold by the Chair: 1as if a Soldier, that had lost his sword, would play the man with •he scabbard. But so Caiaphas succeeded Aaron: So wicked Manasseh succeeded David: So may Antichrist easily sit in Peters Chair.
