Rainoldes. And because S. Matthew, (as it is more likely) meant not a primacy of power to one there, where nhe showeth that Christ gave the same power to all the Apostles: thereof do I gather that he meant a primacy of order only, not of power. ⟨p. 221⟩But Austin and Cyprian meant a farther primacy, you say. Perhaps they did. Therefore a primacy in power? It doth not follow. Nay, it is manifest, they meant it not of power. oFor Austin doth build it upon the ground of Cyprian: and pCyprian doth teach, that Christ gave 1equal power to all the Apostles. The truth is, they meant a primacy in calling: to wit, that 2the Lord did choose Peter first, as qCyprian doth speak expressly. And whether S. Matthew regarded this also, in that he numbered Peter, first: I can not define. But whether he did, or no; it is no farther primacy then I granted you by the foreman of the Quest: who is called first, as he is reckoned fi•st; and so both in order and calling hath a primacy, which he hath not in power.
