11. 12. 13 Although we grant them this also, that the Supremacy of the Church was so established in Peter, that it should always remain in perpetual succession, yet they can never win this, that the Sea of Rome is so settled, that whosoever is Bishop of that City, should bear authority over the whole world: although we grant them this, that Peter was Bishop there, as they say. Christ himself the Prince of Pastors, the sovereign bishop the head of the Church, while he lived, exercised his Bishopric, and in dying, fulfilled the office of Priesthood, at Jerusalem, yet could he not purchase honour to the place, if Peter got supremacy to Rome, because he sate there, why may not the Israelites set the seat of supremacy in the wilderness,1 because Moses sate there?
