to the Pope or his See. But his own explanation
of his meaning can be also produced.

the origin of that very unity should begin from

In these words, St. Cyprian does not grant
even a primacy of honour to any of the apostles,
and certainly far less to the bishop of Rome. If
the R. imagine that this Father calls the Church
of Rome " the See of St. Peter, and the prin-

is a stranger to the doctrine which was taught in
the primitive church, and even by the head of
the Romish See. I will introduce him sgain to
Pope Gregory the Great, that excellent writer,
uho will shew him what he ought to underfland
by the See of St. Peter. " Though there were
*'
several apostles," says he, in his epistle to Eulogius
of Alexandria, " there is but one aposto-
