The words of Christ to Peter, contained a promise of the keys, I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The occasion of the ⟨p. 101⟩words, was a question of Christ, asked of the Apostles, answered by Peter: whom say ye that I am? Thou art Christ the Son of the living God. The sense which I gathered by laying these together, was, that as Peter answered, one, for all: so the keys were meant to him, one, with all. To prove the former point, that Peter answered, one, for all: the scripture is most plain, in the sixth of John, where (before this time) Peter had confessed in their common name, hWe believe, and know, that thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. To prove the later, that the keys were meant to him, one, with all: the scripture is as plain in the twentieth of John, where Christ performing that which he had promised to Peter, doth say to him with the rest, iAs my Father sent me, so do I send you. Whose sins soever ye remit, they are remitted to them: & whose sins soever ye retain, they are retained. Wherefore sith the keys were promised by Christ on the profession of their faith, which was common to them all: and the promise was performed, when he sent them all with power to bind and loose, to remit and retain sins: it followeth that the keys belonged no more to Peter, then to all the Apostles. And therefore the promise of the keys to him, importeth no headship of his over them.
