PETER'S PRIMACY.; title: Points in question, generally, inequality in the Apostolic College : specially, the appointment of one over the rest; resolution of these tried by four examinations 1. Into the words and acts of Christ, which relate to the Apostles.— 2. Into those which seem to mark the institution of a singular authority.— 3. Into the mode of writing used by the evangelists.— 4. Into the history of the rising Church. — A concurrence of these four points would prove the two questions 200; title: The analysis of what has been written shows this concurrence 201; title: Twelve arguments from what has been written, proving the inequality of the Apostolic college, and Peter's Primacy, 203; title: What is the force and nature of the Primacy. — Six proofs establishing this to consist in superior jurisdiction 209; title: Enquiry into the end and purpose of the Primacy: for the knowledge of the intention and purpose equivalent at least to a negative rule, ascertaining what must be given to it 212; title: Three classes of reasons, typical, analogical, and real, ascertain for us this purpose.— 1. Typical. Parallel of Peter with Abraham and its results 213 Parallel of Peter with Judah and its results 214; title: ii. Analogical. Analogy of body, house, kingdom, city, and fold, and its results. — And of universal, and each particular Church on one hand, and Primate and bishops on the other 217; title: iii. Beal, whether educed from texts containing the institution of the Primacy, or from the inherent properties of the Church. — 1. Educed from texts   219; title: 2. Educed from properties of the Church ; first, its identity ; secondly, its unity; thirdly, its catholicity; scriptural setting forth of unity 220; title: Further illustration from Protestant opinions of the Church's unity. —; title: A. First, that of Anglicans, of unity in particular Churches, but not in the universal Church, represented by Dodwell 222; title: B. Second opinion, set forth by Yitringa, of distinction between the necessity of internal and that of external unity 225; title: C. Third opinion, of agreement in fundamentals 232; title: Two causes of this being held, one theoretical, the other practical.— The former stated 233; title: The practical cause 234; title: Reasons educed, thirdly, from the Catholicity of the Church, with which the Primacy is bound up.— Catholicity has two parts, one material and one formal 236; title: The material part, amplitude and extension. — The formal part, not only negative, but affirmative.— Negative, as expelling from the one true; title: Church all heretics and schismatics: testimonies to it 237; title: Affirmative, at making a coherent body with members and articulations 238 Testimonies to the mode of this coherence, in Irenmus, Cyprian, and Tertullian, and the other Fathers, summed up in S. Leo 239; title: Hence answers to the question whether the doctrine of S. Peter's Primacy is contained in the creed. — It is involved in one Catholic Church 243; title: CHAPTER IX.; title: THE NATURE, MULTIPLICITY, AND FORCE OF PROOF FOR S. PETER'S PRIMACY.; title: Different sorts of proof.— 1. The principal here used, and the subsidiary. — Their joint force 246; title: Hence, I. The nature of the answer required to it.— 2. The proof, if unanswered, demonstrates the Primacy to be revealed  247; title: 3. Enquiry into the certitude of the proof used 248; title: I. Force of the proof in itself and absolutely . — Two conditions requisite, and here found, authenticity of the documents, and clearness of their evidence. — Number and harmony of scriptural testimonies to the Primacy 249; title: The parallel of Julius Caesar 250; title: Collateral proof, supporting that of the holy Scriptures, so that the whole consists in the harmony of these four: — 1. Scriptural documents. — 2. Ancient witnesses. — 3. Analogy.— 4. Facts of Christian history, in fourteen distinct classes  251; title: Prodigious force of this compound proof 256; title: No counter religious system producible by Greek, Anglican, or pure Protestant, but mere negation and objection 257; title: II. Force of the proof comparatively with other doctrines: comparison with the texts on which Anglicans, Lutherans, and Calvinists severally rely 259; title: Retort that all but Catholics are opposed to our interpretation ; answer, that from Catholics alone we are to gather the truth 260; title: Yet all protestants not agreed in opposing our interpretation and reasons why their opposition is of little moment 261; title: Compare, likewise, opposition to the Church in the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries 264; title: And again the conduct of Lutherans and Anglicans in maintaining their own distinctive texts. — But what, then, are the true criteria of documentary evidence ? They are four: —; title: Internal  and immediate and remote 1. Verbal 2. Real 3. Analogical.; title: External 4. Agreement of witnesses 265; title: 1. Comparison carried through verbal criterion, between the texts alleged by us, and those of Lutherans, Anglicans, and Calvinists 266; title: 2. And through the real criterion, or that of the subject matter, greater in the proofs for Peter's prerogatives than in those for the real presence, or the Divinity of Christ, on account of the difficulty of grasping the object in the latter cases 267; title: As to the superiority of bishops over presbyters, the proof severed from that of the Primacy sinks into nothing: considered with it, it is of the same character, but weaker 268; title: Accordingly, the criterion from the subject matter is stronger for Peter's Primacy, than for the superiority of bishops over presbyters, for the real presence, and for the Divinity of Christ. — Sum of both these criteria, verbal and real, in favour of Peter's Primacy, over these three doctrines 270; title: Appeal hence arising to Lutherans, Anglicans, and Calvinists.— Comparison with the inferior evidence for other received doctrines 271; title: 3. The third criterion of analogy: force of this in favour of Peter's Primacy from three heads: — 1. The divine institution of bishops. — 2. The unity of the Church.— 3. The Catholicity of the Church 272; title: 4. Fourth criterion of witnesses. — Immense force of this criterion, both as stated by the fathers, and shewn by Protestants in their own conduct 274; title: Witnesses unanimous in favour of the Primacy 277
