You hold the contrary. rThou art Peter, saith he, and upon this rock which thou hast confessed, upon this rock which thou hast known (saying, Thou art Christ the son of the living God,) will I build my church. I will build thee upon ⟨p. 61⟩me, not me upon thee. For men intending to build on men, said, I hold of Paul, I of Apollos, I of Cephas, (that is Peter:) and others who would not be builded upon Peter, but upon the rock, said, I hold of Christ.
