But being granted, that Peter appointed James to preach in Jerusalem, yet will it not follow therefore, that Peter had rule, and Dominion •uer the Apostles. For thereof would follow this great inconvenience: The Apostles at […]appointed Peter, 1to go, and to preach in Samaria: Ergo, The Apostles had rule, and Dominion over Peter. Which were an overthrow of M. Hardinges gr•attest principle.

But let us grant, that Peter was the Head of the Apostles, as a matter nothing pertaining to this question. Will M. Harding thereof conclude, that the Pope is therefore the Head of the Universal Church? For what is there in the Pope, that was in Peter? Preaching of the Gospel? He preacheth not. Feeding of the flock? He feedeth not. He will say, Succession, and sitting in Peters Chair, which is in Rome.1 A man may answer, The Scribes, and Pharisees sate in Moses Chair. But M. Harding knoweth, that Peter, when he received this Privilege, was in Jerusalem, and not in Rome. Therefore this argument would better stand thus: Peter neither had Dominion over the rest of the Apostles: nor was Bishop of Rome, when Christ spake unto him; Therefore the Bishop of Rome cannot justly claim hereby the Universal Power, and Dominion over all the world.
