Hart. Not so. But Clemens rather did succeed Peter: and that, after his death. For, when he perceived his end to draw near, he took Clemens by the hand: and said, in the hearing of the whole Church, (which was then assembled,) Hearken unto me, my brethren and fellow-servants. Because (as my Lord & master Jesus Christ, who sent me, hath told me,) the day of my death approacheth: I ordain this Clemens to be your Bishop, unto whom alone I commit the chair of my preaching and doctrine; and I give to him that power of binding and loosing which Christ gave to me, that whatsoever he decreeth of any thing in earth, the same shall be decreed in ⟨p. 270⟩heaven.
