But to satisfy these men, and to take away occasion of cavil, I will allege a few places, where the express term (head) is attributed to Peter the first Bishop of Rome, and by like right to his successors, and to the See Apostolic. Chrysostom speaking of the virtue and power of Peter, and of the steadfastness of the Church, in the .55. Homily upon Matthew hath these words among other. Cuius pastor, & caput, homo piscator, atque ignobilis &c. 1By which words he affirmeth that the pastor, and head of the Church, being but a fisher, a man, and one of base parentage, passeth in firmness the nature of the diamond. Again, in an Homily of the praises of Paul, he saith thus. Neither was this man only such a one, but he also which was the head of the Apostles, who oftentimes said, he was ready to bestow his life for Christ, and yet was full sore afraid of death. If he were head of the Apostles, then was he head of the inferior people, and so head of the universal Church.

Chrysostome speakinge of the vertue and power of Peter, and of the stedfastnes of the Churche, in the .55. Homilie vpon Matthew hath theise wordes amonge other. Cuius pastor, & caput, homo piscator, atque ignobilis &c. 1By which wordes he affirmeth that the pastoure, and heade of the Churche, beinge but a fisher, a man, and one of base parentage, passeth in firmnes the nature of the diamant. Againe, in an Homilie of the praises of Paule, he saith thus. Neither was this man onely suche a one, but he also which was the heade of the Apostles, who oftentimes saide, he was readie to bestowe his life for Christ, and yet was ful sore afraied of death. If he were heade of the Apostles, then was he heade of the inferioure people, and so heade of the vniuersal Churche.
