Galatians2:11
Verſe 11. But when Peter, &c.] I would gladly learn (ſaid that Martyr) why the ſeat of the primacy (to grant that) ſhould be rather at Rome then elſewhere? They anſwer, becauſe Peters chair was at Rome. Act. and Mon. fol. 1496. This is even like to this, becauſe Moſes the greateſt Prophet, and Aaron the firſt Prieſt exerciſed their office untill their death in the deſert, therefore the principalleſt place of the Jews Church ſhall be in the wilderneſſe. But grant them their reaſon that it is good, what ſhould Antioch claim? for Peters chair was there alſo, when Paul gave him a check, which was unſeemly and unmannerly done of Paul, that would not give place to his Preſident and better.Baron. A[illegible: 2 letters]a'. Thus far Mr Bradford. Cardinall Baronius withſtands Paul as much as ever he did Peter, and blaſphemouſly aſſirmeth, that Peter was not to be blamed, but Paul a great deal more, Bellarmine ſaith, It was not Peter, but Cephas one of the ſeventy.
