least and necessarily to be understood viz. we shall obey so long as you g●vern lawfully and not longer And hence it was that the Prince of Conde protested Anno 1577. that the oath which some Hugon●ts had taken not to bear arms or fight against their King anymore c. was factum contra Deum bonos more 's Poplonneir lib. 41. contrary to the law of God and their duty and therefore could not oblige any He had it from Calvin who Lib. 4. Institut c. 13. Sect. 21. teacheth Quibuscunque hujus Evangeliis lux affulget c. When men come once to be Illuminated with the light of his Gospel they are presently absolved from all former Snares and Oaths whatsoever that should entangle their Conscience that is oblige them to the performance of any good work or duty more then they have a minde to Sic dixit Calvinus But I confess there are some few particular or rather personal objections made from some pretended matter of fact against that which hath been said of Catholikes Loyalty wherein t is necessary that the Reader should have some reasonable satisfaction This done the conclusion will be cleer which at first I undertook to declare viz. That there is nothing in Catholike Religion inconsistent with Loyalty and that Catholikes are de facto in the truth of their practice better Subjects generally speaking then Protestants have shewen themselves to be or indeed can well be standing to their principles These objections are but few and therefore I shall dispatch them breifly The first is brought against Doctor Allen for teaching to murther Princes in a certain Apology which he wrote of the Seminaries citing Num. 25. to that purpose I answer The mistake is very great it was not Doctor Allen but Doctor Goodman if we may call him so that citeth that Text of Numbers to that purpose Goodm Obedien His words are these Factum illud quod memoratur Num. 25. perpetuumest exemplum in omnem aeternitatem c. That which is reported saith he in Num. 25. viz. of taking the Heads of the people that had committed Idolatry and hanging them up before the Lord is an example upon record to all posterity and a duty for ever lying upon the people that in the like case they deal with their Governors in like maner that is that they take them and Hang them up against the Sun when they withdraw the people from the true worship of God And although saith he it may seem a great disorder that Common people should take so much Authority upon them yet when the inferior Magistrate neglecteth his office the Common people must be lookt upon as having no Magistrate at all to direct them and in such case God puts the Sword immediately into their hand● and is their Captain and guide in the work This I say is all Goodmans Doctrine and not Doctor Allens into wh●se thoughts it never came to conceive much less to publish such Paradoxes of sedition All that he teacheth tends rather to the contrary viz. to keep people in their due bounds and to exhort them not to be transported by any unadvised or evil passions against their governors under a pretence of zeal He confesseth indeed 't is a thing commendable when men are zealous for true Religion but he adviseth that they act modo Tempore in due manner that is no otherwise then lawfully they may and with regard unto all other acknowledged rules of a good conscience and in due season that is not untill they be called thereto by lawful Authority as in the case of the Idolatrous Israelites Num. 25.45 and the place alledged is plain The people acted nothing but by command of Moses who was Supream Magistrate Neither did he command any thing to be done but from the mouth of God and according to the express Law Deut. 13. This is not to put the Sword into the peoples hand and to permit them to execute their fiery zeal upon whom they please under a pretence of punishing Idolatry and rooting out Superstition especially such as no man judgeth to be so but themselves The Second objection is made by Doctor Sutcliff in his Turcopapismus against Father Parsons viz. that he suborned or hired Roderick Lopez a Portughess and some others to kill the Queen Which Treason saith he was discovered by the Earl of Essex I answer it is like the Tale of Peter Panny that was reported to be hired by Mavaraeus a Doctor of Doway and Provincial of the Jesuites to kill Count Maurice which upon examination proved but a Fable and so will this For first was there any person named in that Action but Lopez and his Countrimen that is some Portughesses and Spaniards I have seen and read all the Examinations taken in that business wherein all the circumstances thereof are declared The Ayders Movers Actors all nominated There is not the least mention of Father Parsons in the whole business from first to last Secondly when Master Egerton at Guild-hall so largely and eloquently urged all he could did he so much as once name Father Parsons Or was he a man likely to forget him if he had found or thought him any way Accessory Beside all this F. Parsons himself was known to be a man not of that weakness whatsoever men will think of his honesty as to venture his reputation life interest and all so unadvisedly in a forreign bottom and subject to so many leaks as that was This therefore may pass for a scandalous Fiction and Hear-say but no more A Third objection is made against Parry and sounded aloud in all mens eares as a reproach and stain indelible to Catholike Religion The sum of the charge is that Parry was incited by the Popes Letters to kill the Queen I answer The Acts or process it self of his Examination and Tryal do shew that having conference with Master Wats a Seminary Priest about this business the said Master Wats disliked both his motion and attempt and told him that it was a thing unlawful that he went about As likewise did some other Priests also when they understood the business Secondly at Lyons coming to F. Creighton a Jesuite and after Confession discovering his intention to him out of some Confidence it seems that the good man would bite at such a bait he found himself as much mistaken here as before For the Father resolves him That it was utterly unlawful and useth diverse reasons to diswade him from any further proceeding as Parry himself confesseth to the Queen and Holinshead in his Chronicle doth acknowledge So that already both the Priest and Jesuites are acquitted There remains onely the Letter of Cardinal Como to be considered Touching which we are to know this Parry had lived in Italy as a Spy a long time and being upon his return was desirous to furnish himself with a project that might serve his turn in England both ways that is both to abuse Catholikes as
