The Popes answer.
The words which Christ to Peter spoke, are no wayes said to me,You do mistake (by Peters leaue) you are deceiu'd, I see
For why, I no way do succeed to Peter in that case,
As many in the world haue thought, since I vsurpt his place.
The name of Paul I haue tane on, his armour with his name,
And follow him in euery thing, ere his cōuersiō came.
Christs words I do remember well, to me they nothing are,
I came into the world in peace, but for to stir vp war.
