4. It is not all degree of infallibility or not failing that Christ prayeth for to Simon: but he only prayeth that his Faith may not be overcome, foreseeing that it would shake, and that he would deny him: So that this is no promise of perfect Infallibility to Peter himself as appeared by the issue.

5. Peter himself was to be converted from some failing: Therefore he was not exempted from it: And the case here in hand is such as that conversion had respect to. Therefore it was not, that he should not fail in Cathedral Determinations; for he was not converted from such. Bellarmine here most immodestly would intimate that the text speaks not of Peters conversion from any sin, but of his turning to his brethren to speak to them; as if it were [When thou turnest thee to speak to thy Brethren, strengthen them] Nothing but the Popes infallibility, or the gross fallibility of common reason, could make a learned man think that this is the sense of the Text.
