The sum of the conference between John Rainoldes and John Hart touching the head and the faith of the Church.

Rainoldes. I think that none hath: I am sure that none should have. For, in fan other epistle of the same argument, when he had said that all Christians *do cleave to only one head, he addeth, I mean, to Christ: and having (in this same epistle) put that difference between Christ and Peter, that Peter is a member, Christ the head of the church, he showeth manifestly whom he meant by head.
