Hart. It is true that others may strengthen their brethren, as members of the same body: but Christ commandeth Peter to do it as their head. Which may be gathered *by the occasion, whereon the words were spoken. For, when there arose a strife among the Apostles which of them should seem to be the greatest: Christ said unto them, oThe kings of the Gentiles do reign over them; but you not so, and so forth: teaching them, that 1all desire and lust of reigning ought to be far from his ministers. 2Yet least he should seem thereby to have forbidden withal, or taken away all power of reigning from them: he added those words spoken to Peter only; plainly declaring that he should be the greatest, which was the matter where about they strived.
