Rainoldes. No marvel. For the noise of it hath been so great and loud about your ears, in the Seminary at Rhemes and other Popish schools beyond seas: that it hath made you dull of hearing, and you cannot perceive *the still & soft voice of the truth. As uwe read of them who dwell about the fall of the river Nilus, where it tumbleth down from the high mountains, that they are made deaf by the greatness of the sound and noise of the waters. But tell me I pray: do you think that Christ made Peter supreme head by saying unto him, I have prayed for thee, or, strengthen thy brethren?
