Rainoldes. Even Father Robert: the public reader and professor of divinity in Rome. Who, kwhen he discoursed of Christs words to Peter, Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven: said, that all power of the keys is therein promised, not restrained to part, but enlarged to what soever. Yea, that Christ likewise promised the same power to all the Apostles, when *he spake in like words, Whatsoever ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven, & what soever ye loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. For, albeit Origen (more subtly, then literally) doth put a difference between the promises, because, in the one, the word, 3[heaven] is used; in the other, 2[heavens:] yet the common exposition of S. Jerome, S. Hilary, S. Anselm, and others upon this place, yea of S. Austin him self in his treatise upon John, is, that Christ speaketh of the power of the keys by which the Apostles and their successors do bind or loose sinners. And although it seemeth, that here is chiefly meant the power of jurisdiction whereby sinners are excommunicate: yet the said Fathers do understand it of ⟨p. 108⟩both the powers, not only of jurisdiction but of order too. And that may be gathered (it seemeth) by the text. For it is said as generally to the Apostles, What things soever ye shall bind: as it is to Peter, What thing soever thou shalt bind.
