Institutes 4.6.1 — OF THE PRIMACY OF THE ROMISH SEE.

**OF THE PRIMACY OF THE ROMISH SEE.**

Hitherto we have reviewed those ecclesiastical orders which existed in the government of the primitive Church; but afterwards corrupted by time, and thereafter more and more vitiated, now only retain the name in the Papal Church, and are, in fact, nothing but mere masks, so that the contrast will enable the pious reader to judge what kind of Church that is, for revolting from which we are charged with schism. But, on the head and crown of the whole matter, I mean the primacy of the Roman See, from which they undertake to prove that the Catholic Church is to be found only with them, See Calv. Adversus Concilium Tridentinum. Also Adversus Theologos Parisienses.
