It forceth not greatly, what M. Harding deny, or grant, having neither Reason, nor Authority, but only his own. But if Power were not given indifferently to all the Apostles, tell us then, wherein is the odds? What had Peter more? What had the others less?

Christ said equally unto them all, Rece••• the Holy Ghost: Whose Sins ye ⟨p. 108⟩forgive, they are forgiven: Go into the whole World: Preach the Gospel to every Creature. These words pertain equally unto all. Peter had no more the Holy Ghost, no more Power to forgive Sins, no more Commission to go into the whole World, no more Authority to Preach the Gospel, then others had.
