1But leaving this place, they say that Christ said unto Peter: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my Church. I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, &c. These things (as they will have them) have a respect unto one only, and ought to be understand of one which should be the head. But was not this self same thing said unto others also? Undoubtedly in John Christ said unto them all: Receive the holy Ghost, whose sins ye forgive, shall be forgiven. Wherefore Peter did not alone receive the keys of the kingdom of heaven. But they say that it was said unto Peter only: Feed my Lambs. Yea but this he spake unto them all, when he said: Go into the whole world,2 and preach the Gospel to all creatures. But where as they boast that this saying belongeth unto Peter alone: Upon this rock I will build my Church, it shall not be so soon granted them. For Christ is the foundation of the Church, as the Apostle hath taught. And there are some of the fathers, which do interpret that Christ referred these words, not to Peter himself, but to the confession which he had made of Christ. But grant that Peter was in some sort after Christ the foundation of the Church: the same thing also may we say of the other Apostles, forasmuch as in the Apocalypse are read .12. foundations of the celestial Jerusalem. 3But of this matter we have spoken more abundantly before, and shall have better occasion hereafter to speak thereof: only these things I thought good to bring, that it should not be thought, that the Papists had gotten the victory when they obtrude this place to the unlearned.

These thinges (as they will haue them) haue a respect vnto one onely, and ought to be vnderstand of one whiche should be the head. But was not this selfe same thyng sayd vnto others also? Vndoubtedly in Iohn Christ sayd vnto them all: Receaue the holy Ghost, whose sinnes ye forgeue, shalbe forgeuen. Wherfore Peter dyd not alone receaue the kayes of the kyngdome of heauen. But they say that it was sayd vnto Peter onely: Fede my Lambes. Yea but this he spake vnto them all, when he sayd: Go into the whole worlde,
