Jerome therefore, saying, that Peter was appointed head of the Apostles, did mean that preeminence among the Apostles, and not a sovereignty above them.

Hart. The words of S. Jerome do speak somewhat too liberally of the Apostles, in that he saith the church is built upon them all equally. And, as D. dStapleton noteth very well, 1the distinction touching things written by the Fathers, some by way of doctrine, and some of contention, is verified in them. For here, by occasion that he reasoneth against Jovinian, who alleged (against the honour of virginity) that Christ preferred Peter, a married man, before the rest: he doth lessen and extenuate the authority of Peter, (as far as truth did give him leave,) making the rest equal to him for the Apostleship; yet affirming plainly, that he was head of the rest.
