Hart. Such dregs (as our yCanus termeth them) of sophisms, brought into the School by men who were unworthily named School-divines, are reproved by us as well as by you. But the words of Christ do speak enough for Peters prerogative without violence. For zthey command him to strengthen his brethren. And his brethren were the rest of the Apostles. They command him therefore to strengthen the Apostles. If to strengthen the Apostles: then must he be their supreme head. Wherefore the words of Christ prove the supremacy of Peter.
