Paul — A relation of perfect equality — St. Paul's epistles— His independence of Peter and the other apostles. If the Roman view of the privileges of St. Peter be the true one, it will be confirmed and illustrated by the primitive records of the Church's history. If the Roman interpretation of the three great texts be accurate, that teaching will not be contradicted, but supported, by a consideration of the position which St. Peter actually occupied in the Church after its constitution on the d...ay of Pentecost, and by his relation to his brother apostles. We must repeat, it would be most unsafe to take any passage of Scripture, and affix to it off-hand the meaning which to us might seem most probable on a mere super- ficial and passing examination of its contents. Such a treatment of Scripture, especially if it were employed against their own positions, would be indignantly and 68 ST. PETER IN THE CHURCH, AND IN justly resented by Roman theologians.
