Then came he to this text Mat. xvi Thou art peter and upon this rock I will build my congregation or church. Lo saith Antichrist the carnal beast / peter is ⟨image 36⟩the rock whereon the church of Christ is built, and I am his successor, and therefore the head of christs church. When christ meant by the rock, the confession that Peter had confessed, saying: Thou art christ the Son of the living god, which art come into this world. This faith is the rock,¹ whereon christs church is built. For who is of christs church, but he only that believeth that Christ is Gods Son, come into to this world to save sinners? This faith is it, against which hell gates can not prevail. This faith is it, which saveth the congregation of christ and not Peter.
