Hart. That exposition of S. Austin, denying Peter to be the rock, was *lapsus humanus (as D. aStapleton calleth it) caused by the diversity of the Greek and Latin tongue, which either he was ignorant of, or marked not. Howbeit nevertheless it hath a true meaning: though not the full & proper sense of this place. Besides that, him self doth bother-where expound it as understood of Peter: according to the famous verses of S. Ambrose, in which he calleth Peter the rock of the Church. The rest of the Fathers, who apply the rock to Peters confession, imply his person in it. For, to say, that the Church is built on the confession and belief of Peter, is all one in deed, and to say, it is built on Peter confessing and believing in Christ. Wherefore in as much as they affirm the former, they prove withal the later by it.
