Hart. I grant that bS. Paul was equal in authority to Peter, in some sort. Yet this is a notable difference between them, and well worth the marking, that S. Paul was the Apostle and teacher of the Gentiles: but Peter the Apostle both of Gentiles and of Jews. Which (because we love not to speak without Doctors) you may read in S. Ambrose, in his Commentaries on this place,2 *He that wrought by Peter in the Apostleship of circumcision, wrought by me also towards the Gentiles. He nameth Peter alone (saith he) and compareth him unto himself, because he had received the primacy to build the Church; that himself likewise is chosen to have the primacy of building the Churches of the Gentiles. Yet so, that Peter preached to the Gentiles also. These are S. Ambrose his words.
