Neither is it likely, That James took authority of Peter, having before taken sufficient authority of Christ himself.1 For this Commission Christ gave to every of his Apostles all alike:2 As my living Father sent me, so do I send you: Ye shall be witnesses to me,3 even to the ends of the World. And if Peter gave authority unto James,4 who then gave authority unto Paul? Certainly, S. Paul dwelt in no Peculiar,5 but was as much subject to Jurisdiction, as S. James. But S. Paul saith,6 He was an Apostle non ab hominibus, neque per hominem▪ neither of men, nor by men,7 but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father. They that were the chief of the Apostles, give nothing unto me. The preaching of the Gospel among the Gentiles was committed unto me, even as unto Peter the preaching of the Gospel among the Jews. And Chrysostom expounding the same place saith thus,8 Paulus nihil opus habebat Petro, nec illius egebat voce: Sed honore par erat illi: nihil hic dicā amplius. Paul had no need of Peters help, nor stood in need of his voice: but was in honour as good, as he: I will say no more. ⟨p. 304⟩Hereby it may appear, that the rest of the Apostles took not their Apostleship, […]authority of S. Peter.
Neither is it likely, That Iames tooke authoritie of Peter, hauinge before taken sufficient authoritie of Christe himselfe.1
