Rainoldes. Thus I hear you say. But I had rather hear, Thus saith the Lord.
Rainoldes. Thus I heare you say. But I had rather heare, Thus saith the Lord.
Hart. You shall hear it. The Lord saith that hthere shall be one flock, and one shepherd, or (as we translate it) one fold and one Pastor. *whereof I make this reason. By the name of Pastor is noted an ordinary government and charge, which hath relation to a flock: and therefore, as long as the flock continueth, the Pastors office must continue; the office of one Pastor, as the flock is one. It continued in Peter, when Christ made him supreme Pastor. Now, when Peter dyed, it should continue in his successor. And the successor of Peter is the Bishop of Rome. The Bishop of Rome therefore is the supreme Pastor of the Church of Christ.
