The Eleventh Point accused.
That St. Peter was not Ordained by Christ the first Head or Chief among the Apostles; and that among the Twelve, none was greater or lesser than other.
Ans. Mere Falsehood, as undistinguished. The word Head is ambiguous; this Writer hath a Head, such as it is, that other Heads much differ from. Reformed Catholics hold, that Peter is called first in numbering them: That he was by Christ in many instances, preferred before others: That he was an Eminent Speaker, and worker of Miracles: That all the Apostles were not Equal in parts and worth; but some herein greater than other. What, was Judas no lesser than the rest, that was a Thief and Traitor? John was Eminently the Disciple whom Jesus loved.
