Wherefore in that they join Paul with Peter, and challenge their superiority as well by the authority of Paul as of Peter, there they make Paul fellow and equal with peter. And thus it is false that Peter was •eater then his fellows, but the blind owls care not what they howl, seeing it is night ⟨image 40⟩and the day light of gods word, shut up that no man can spy them.

Wherfore in that they ioyne Paule with Peter, and chalēge their superioritie as wel by ye auctoritie of Paule as of Peter, there they make Paule felow ād equall with peter. And thus it is false that Peter was •eater then hys fellowes, but the blynd onles care not what they houle, seyng it is night ⟨image 40⟩and the daye lyght of gods worde, shut vp that no man can spye them.

Moreover with this term Peters seat they juggle a pace (as with infinite other) saying that Peters seat, is the chief seat / but what Peters seat is that they tell you not For wist ye that / ye should some perceive that they lye. Peters seat is no stole or chair (for what hath the kingdom of Christ to do with such baggage) but, it is a spiritual thing. Christ saith in the gospel Math. xxiij. The Scribes and Pharisees sit on Moses seat. What was moses seat there, a chair •or the temple / or the churches, or synagogue of the land? Nay verily▪ for moses came never there. But Moses seat was Moses law and doctrine. Even so peters seat, is peters doctrine, the gospel of christ which peter taught. And the same doctrine is Peters keys: so that peters seat, Peters keys and Peters doctrine is all one thing Now is peters doctrine, Pauls doctrine & the doctrine of all the .xij. Apostles in differently, for they taught all one thing. Wherefore it followeth / that peters keys, and peters seat, be the keys and seat of Paul also, & of all the other .xij. Apostles and are nothing save the gospel of Christ
