And, good Christian Reader, least thou shouldest think, I have in scorn, and wilfully wrested M. Hardinges words, which otherwise might be uttered by him in some sober meaning: may it please thee by these few to consider, what certain others of that side have uttered, and published, touching the same.

Petrus de Palude saithe thus: 1Dico▪ quòd nullus Apostolorum, praeter Perrum, factus est à Christo Episcopus: I say, that none of the Apostles, saving only Peter, was made Bishop by Christ. And again, Videretur, in Novo Testamento, quòd alij Apostoli à Christo Nullam Potestatem Jurisdictionis receperunt: & per consequens relinguitur, quòd Omnis Potestas Jurisdictionis, quam habuerunt Apostoli, Specialiter post ⟨p. 106⟩Christi Ascensum, fuit collata eis à Petro: It would appear, that in the New Testament the rest of the Apostles received no manner Power of Jurisdiction at Christs hands: and so consequently it followeth, that all the Power of Jurisdiction, that the Apostles had, specially after Christs Ascension, was given unto them by Peter. Again, he imagineth God the Father thus to say unto Christ: 2Constitues eos Principes, non per te, sed per tuum Vicarium: Thou shalt make the Apostles governors over all the Earth, not by thee self, but by Peter thy Vicar. And again, Paulus, & alij Apostoli à Petro, non debuerunt praedicare in Ecclesia specialiter Petro commissa, nisi de eius licentia. Unde à Christo habuerunt idoneitatem: à Petro autem Authoritatem: Paule, and the other Apostles might not Preach in the Church committed unto Peter, but with Peters Licence. For of Christ they had only Ability: but of Peter they received Authority.
