Hierome writing against Jovinian saith, Propterea inter duodecim unus eligitur, ut capite constituto, Schismatis tollatur occasio. For that cause among the twelve, one is specially chosen out, that the head being ordained, occasion of schism may be taken away. Whereby it appeareth, that Peter was constituted head, for avoiding of division, and schism. Now the danger of the inconvenience remaining still, yea more then at that time, for the greater multitude of the Church, and for sundry other imperfections: the same remedy must be thought to continue, onlesse we would say, that Christ hath less care over his Church now that it is so much increased▪ then he had at the beginning, when his flock was small. For this cause, except we deny God's Providence toward his Church, there is one head for avoiding of schism also now, as well as in the Apostles time. Which is the Successor of him, that was head by Christs appointment then, the Bishop of Rome sitting in the seat, that Peter sate in.
Hierome writinge against Iouinian saith, Propterea inter duodecim vnus eligitur, vt capite constituto, Schismatis tollatur occasio. For that cause amonge the twelue, one is specially chosen out, that the heade beinge ordeined, occasion of schisme maie be taken awaie. VVhereby it appeareth, that Peter was constituted heade, for auoidinge of diuision, and schisme. Nowe the danger of the inconuenience remaininge stil, yea more then at that time, for the greater multitude of the Churche, and for sundrie other imperfections: the same remedie must be thought to continewe, onlesse we woulde saie, that Christ hath lesse care ouer his Churche nowe that it is so muche encreased▪ then he had at the beginninge, when his flocke was smal. For this cause, excepte we denie Goddes Prouidence towarde his Churche, there is one heade for auoidinge of schisme also nowe, as wel as in the Apostles time. VVhich is the Successour of him, that was heade by Christes appointement then, the Bishop of Rome sittinge in the seate, that Peter sate in.
Cyrillus saith, Petrus ut princeps, Caputque caeterorum, primus exclamavit, tu es Christus filius Dei vivi. Peter as Prince, and head of the rest, first cried out, thou art Christ the son of the living God.
