Rainoldes. Then if the Jews and Gentiles hear the voice of Christ, and so become one flock: how could he mean any but himself alone by the one Pastor?

Hart. Him self alone (I grant) directly, and first: but secondarily, and by consequent, his vicar too, Peter, and Peters successor. For Christ, while he lived in flesh upon the earth, did not bring the Gentiles: che was not sent (he said) but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. In the which respect S. Paul calleth him dthe minister of circumcision, because he did execute his office, and ministry, only towards the people of circumcision, that is, the Jews. The Gentiles he did bring after his ascension, by the ministry of his servants, chiefly of S. Peter: whom ehaving instructed by a vision from heaven, he sent him to Cornelius, & fchose him that the Gentiles should hear by his mouth the word of the Gospel, and believe. Wherefore, as Christ said, that he must bring the Gentiles, though he meant to bring them not by his own preaching, but by the mouth of Peter; and so Peter brought them after a sort too: likewise he gave him self the name of one Pastor, though he fed his flock not in his own person, but in his vicar; and so might he mean his vicar too thereby.
