But to leave these vain Fantasies, not worth the hearing, S. Paul will soon remove all these doubts. 1Thus he writeth of him self: Paul the Apostle, not of Men, nor appointed by Men, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father. And S. Chrysostom hereof writeth thus, 2Paulus nihil opus habebat Petro, nec illius egebat voce: sed Honore Par erat illi. Nihil enim hic dicam amplius: Paul had no manner lack of Peter: nor stood in need of his voice, or allowance: but in Honour was his Fellow. For I will here say no more. His meaning is, He was his better.
