HART. The promise made to Peter hath not only show but also weight of truth to prove his supremacy. But, to satisfy you,1 who think it not weighty enough of it self, I will add thereto the performance of it, and so you shall have it weight with the advantage. *For, it was said to Peter in the presence of three Apostles, James, John, and Thomas, by our Saviour Christ, 1even at the very moment when he would now ascend up unto his father, and therefore either then or never make his vicar: aPasce agnos meos, pasce oves meas; Feed my lambs, feed my sheep.
