But let us return to the Pope,1 who least he should seem to be destitute of testimonies of the holy scriptures, taketh two places out of them. Whereof the one is: Upon this rock I will build my Church, and will give the keys. &c. But that place pertaineth to all those which confess the verity of faith: for Peter, when the Lord demanded what the Apostles believed of him, answered in the name of them all, that he was the son of the living God. Wherefore, that which Christ speaketh unto him, pertaineth to all them, which together with him believe and profess the same self thing. For the keys are given unto the Church. And in John, the Lord after his resurrection gave them unto all them: at the last also, when he should ascend up into heaven, he sent them all alike to preach throughout the world. And as touching the foundation, the Church hath no other foundation but Christ. For Paul unto the Corinth. said: No man can lay any other foundation, then that which is already laid,2 which is Christ Jesus. And if at any time the Apostles be called foundations of the church, that is to be understand, because they in the first time of the Church cleaved unto the foundation, as the first and greater stones, not because the Church leaned unto them as to the principal foundation.

Whereof the one is: Vpon this rocke I wil builde my Churche, and wyll gyue the keyes. &c. But that place pertaineth to al those which confesse the verity of faith: for Peter, when the Lord demaunded what the Apostles beleued of him, aunswered in the name of them al, that he was the sonne of the liuing God. Wherefore, that which Christ speaketh vnto him, pertaineth to all them, whych together wyth him beleue and professe the same selfe thing. For the keyes are geuen vnto the Church. And in Iohn, the Lord after his resurrection gaue them vnto all them: at the last also, when he should ascend vp into heauen, he sent them all alike to preache throughout the world. And as touching the foūdation, the Church hath no other foundation but Christ. For Paul vnto the Corinth. sayde: No man can lay any other foundation, then that which is already layde,
