in Christ by this Frierly glosse it is not enough vnlesse he also beleeue the Pope to be Christs Vicar Euen like as these Romanists would haue all Churches depend vpon Rome in the West so the Donatists being caried with the like humour did contend for the South that the Church of God was onely to be found in Africa thereto abusing that text Cantic 1.6 Vbi pascis vbi cubas meridie Where feedest thou and liâ—st at noone or in the South as they interpreted By the same reason saith Augustine Marcion vpon that text Psal. 48.2 Mons Sion latera Aquilonis Mount Sion the sides of the North might also chalenge a priuiledge for the North quia ponticus dicitur fuisse quae partes ad Aquilonem sunt Because he is said to haue been of Pontus which is toward the North. As these Heretikes did striue for the South and North so the Luciferians would haue the Church of God onely at Sardis in the East vnto whom Hierome saith Non ob Sardorum tantum mastrucam filium Dei descendisse That the sonne of God did not only descend for a Sardish mantill that is to saue onely the Sardians Euen so did hee not onely die to redeeme the Romanes Yea if any sect among Christians haue diuided and cut themselues off from Christ the Papists that chalenge most to be priuiledged are most like to be excluded 1. Idolaters shall not inherit the kingdome of heauen 1. Cor. 6.9 such are Papists notoriously knowne to be 2. Heresies also doe shut men out from the kingdome of God Galath 5.20.21 But the Church of Rome holdeth and professeth many apparant heresies as euen now shall be shewed 3. The Apostle saith Ye are abolished from Christ whosoeuer are iustified by the lawe Galath 5.4 But the Papists do seeke to be iustified by the righteousnes of the lawe for these are their owne words True iustice is by keeping the lawe Rhemist in 2. Rom. sect 5.4 The scripture saith If any man shall adde vnto these things I will adde vnto him the plagues written in this booke Reuel 21.18 They which adde vnto the scriptures can not be saued Such are the Papists that beside the written word do receiue many traditions which they call verbum Dei non scriptum the word not written By these and sundrie other reasons which might be produced the pope-catholike is found to haue the least part in Christ vnlesse they do reuoke their errors and repent them of their misbeliefe 3 True it is that Christ will so preserue his Church and euery faithfull member thereof from error as that they shall not fayle in the foundation but as to infirmities of life so to errors of doctrine which are not fundamentall euen the true Church of Christ is subiect till God by his word do otherwise teach them as the Apostle saith if ye be otherwise minded God shall reueale the same vnto you But concerning any particular visible Church such as the Romane and the Latine Church is it is vntrue that it is absolutely preserued froÌ„ error but so long only and so farre-forth as it doth yeeld and submit it selfe to be guided by the direction of Gods word For what priuiledge hath one locall Church more then an other What can Rome challenge more for it selfe then Ephesus Sardis Smyrna and the other Churches of Asia to whom our Sauiour directed his Epistles Reuel 2.3 whose candlesticks are now remoued The earthlie Ierusalem had greater assurance for their continuance and more ample promises then euer Rome had for the Psalme testifieth thus the Lord hath chosen Sion and loueth to dwell in it saying this is my rest for euer yet is Sion now forsaken and Ierusalem become desolate for the promise is conditionall if thy sonnes keepe my couenants c. v. 12. Let not reachles Rome therefore presume before Ierusalem euen vnto the Romanes doth the Apostle speake if God spared not the naturall branches take heed least he also spare not thee Let the Romanists therefore take heed least it happen vnto them as vnto the Iewes as Origene saith alapa Christum caedentes alapam aeternam receperunt ab omni prophetia percussi priuati for giuing Christ a blow they receiued an euerlasting blow being shaken from and depriued of all prophesie The like deadlie stroke proud Rome must expect to be depriued of all propheticall spirite and true iudgement for striking and persecuting Christ in his members 4 Vntrue also it is that the Church of Rome hath condemned and extirped 400. heresies seeing that it may easily be proued that it doth maintaine at this present one hundred at the least of those auncient heresies which haue bene in former time condemned by Irenaeus Tertullian Hierome Augustine Epiphanius Damascene and other of the Fathers From Marcellina the companion of Carpocrates they haue receiued the adoration of Images of the Heracleonites extreame vnction with the Tatians they condemne mariage with the Pepuzians they allow women to be priests in that they authorise them to baptize with the Catharists that some are so iust that they neede no repentance with the Angelici they worship Angels with the Apostolici they admit none to orders as they did not to their communion that had wiues with the Hierarchites they haue brought in Monks and Nunnes with the Euchites canonicall houres with the Priscillianists they make Apocryphall writings equall to the scriptures with the Anthropomorphites they picture God the Father like an old man from the Pelagians they haue borrowed free-will from the Manichees the prohibiting of the eating of flesh Many such heresies are without any wresting or forcing fastned vpon the Romish professors as a learned writer of our Church hath alreadie challenged and charged them with fiftie heresies and another hath proued them guiltie of fortie more and so many as want of an hundred shall be supplied shortlie and the number made vp in the enlarging of the last recited worke as God shall giue strength and abilitie thereunto 5 Neither is it true that diuers generall Councels where the whole Christian world was assembled haue anathematized and condemned the religion of Protestants for whereas in the margent he referreth vs to the Concil Constant. Concil Florentin in Vnion Concil Trident. the first of these by our aduersaries confession was not a generall Councell for whereas Sess. 4. of the Councell of Constance it was decreed that the Pope ought to be subiect vnto the authoritie of a generall Councell Bellarmine telleth vs Non erat tum generale Concilium c. It was not then a generall Councell when as the third part only of the Church was present only those prelates which were vnder the obedience of Pope Iohn if it were not generall in the 4. session neither was it in the 8. session wherein the opinions of Wickliffe and Hus were condemned As for the Florentine
or comfortlesse but prescribeth prayers to be vsed by the Elders and Ministers to be sent for the prayer of faith shall saue the sicke Iam. 5.15 and spirituall instruction and consolation to be ministred if there be a messenger with him to declare vnto man his righteousnes Iob. 34.23 7. Which doth not appoint orders to consecrate men to a blasphemous seruice to make the body of Christ and to install them Priests of the order of Melchisedech as that corporation doth of which order of Priesthood is none but Christ Psal. 110.4 Nor which maketh it no essentiall part of their ministrie to bee able to teach and instruct the people but especially requireth that Ministers should be apt to teach 1. Timot. 3.2 that they should be pastors and teachers c. for the edification of the bodie of Christ Ephes 4.11.12 Neither doth it teach that the grace of the spirit is actually conferred by orders but that men set apart to this calling not relying vpon their ordination should take heed to themselues and vnto learning thereby both to saue themselues and their hearers Which doth not denie the remedie of mariage to any condition of men as the Romane seignorie doth to their Clergie seeing the Apostle saith Mariage is honourable among all men Heb. 13.4 Neither doth it tie the grace of mariage to the matrimoniall solemnitie as this contradictor saith it giueth grace against the cares and difficulties of that condition pag. 27.7 but teacheth that the maried parties not relying vpon the ceremonie or solemnitie should giue themselues to fasting and prayer 1. Cor. 7.5 no doubt to obtaine among other matrimoniall graces Thus it is euident that not the Protestants faith but the Papists beleefe leaueth many without helpe and remedie As infants dying without baptisme are in their iudgement damned Priests not hauing the gift of continencie are denyed mariage Sick men haue no true comfort but a little greazing of the eyes and eares Sinfull men are by their popish penance made hypocrites their ordered Clerks are depriued of the principall part which is the preaching of the word Thus this cauiller for his false accusation shall haue Damasus fee Calumniator si in accusatione defecerit talionem accipiat A false accuser if he faile in his accusation shall receiue the law Talionis himself to incurre the same for it is in deed the popish irreligion that affoordeth no true comfort stay or remedie to their miserable disciples that a man may say to them as Iob to his deceitfull friends yee are physicians of no value And whereas they thinke to cure spirituall maladies with corporall medecines as with oyle chrisme salt holie water crossing to be defended against temptation it is as Ambrose saith vt qui latere laterem lauat as if a man should clense clay with clay magis se oblinebat luto such an one should defile himselfe more And as Diogenes said that Patacion the thiefe was no better then Epaminondas because he was professed or entred into religion no more is an euill man made better by such popish ceremonies The ninth Perswasion 1 I Defend not a religion where God is made author of all sinnes and thereby worthie no religion 2 Where the decision of spirituall doubts appertaine to temporall and vnlearned princes men women children 3 Where such sentences though neuer so much disagreeing and apparantlie false must be obeyed for the infallible word of God 4 Where man hath no libertie or freedome of will where our good works are necessitate 5 Where the predestination of God taketh away all election and indifferencie c. 6 But that religion that so accordeth the eternall prescience and predestination of God with the temporall cooperation of man that it both leaueth the first infallible and yet proueth the temporall action appetite c. to be voluntarie free in the power of man to be effected The Disswasion HEre is nothing else but an heape and pack of sclanderous vntruths which by one common answere of deniall might be easily remoued but somewhat more shall be said 1 The Protestants make not God author either of all or any sinne but the Papists rather that thus write They meane not that God is any way the author causer or mouer of any to sinne but onely by permission c. Ergo they grant that by permitting and suffering God is the author and causer of sinne And true it is that he which permitteth euill to be done and hindreth it not is consenting to it and a doer of it because accessorie to it But we say that God is not so much as a permitter or sufferer of sinne as it is euill and yet as he is a disposer of euill actions to good and an imposer of punishment is not only a permitter and beholder but an agent and doer euen in euill actions so that although sinne do no way stand with the will of God in approuing or consenting to it yet it standeth with his prouidence in ordering disposing and iudging of it As God is said to haue bid Shemei curse Dauid because he both disposed it to Dauids good for his further tryall and probation and iudged Shemei by it to his greater confusion Thus Origene well distinguisheth betweene Gods will and prouidēce Multa sine dei voluntate geruntur nihil sine prouidentia c. Many things are done without Gods will nothing without his prouidēce his prouidence is that whereby he dispenseth and prouideth his will whereby he willeth any thing or nilleth 2 The Prince challengeth not the decision of spirituall doubts but only to haue the rule ouer all manner persons within his realmes either Ecclesiasticall or Temporall so as no other forraine power shall or ought to haue any superioritie ouer them And againe in the booke of Articles it is thus conteyned We giue not to our Princes the ministring either of Gods word or sacraments but only that prerogatiue which we see to haue bene giuen alwayes to all good Princes c. in holie scriptures by God himselfe that is that they should rule all estates and degrees committed to their charge by God whether they be Ecclesiasticall or Temporall And beside the deciding of doubts is referred to the Ordinaries directlie and not to the Ciuill Magistrate 3 A most wicked sclaunder it is that we are bound to take such sentences for the infallible word of God The contrarie is euident in the Articles of religion set forth by authoritie of Parliament wherein the Church of England thus professeth It is not lawfull for the Church to ordaine any thing that is contrarie to Gods word written Againe things ordained by them that is general Councels as necessarie to saluation haue neither strength nor authoritie vnlesse it may be declared that they be taken out of holie scripture If Protestants attribute no greater authoritie to the whole Church
furtherer of certaine youthes that entred into the order of Benedict The storie is reported by their owne Masse-priests in their replie to Parsons Manifestation pag. 69. I would thinke that his fellow Friers should giue him little thanks for speaking so honourably of the Monkes of Maledictes I would say Benedictes order 4. Concerning the Bishops of Canterburie which hee hath rehearsed to haue bin so honourable in their time it is but his owne fansie The most of them haue left no notable memorie behind them vnlesse it be of their ambition contention rebellion against their Prince crueltie against the members of Christ. Baldwine is famous for his contention with the Monks of Canterburie he suspended the Prior from his Priorship and 22. Monkes from seruice And Kilwarbie for contending with Walter Archbishop of Yorke for bearing vp his crosse thorough the middle of Kent ann 1272. So Peccham excommunicated Thomas Bishop of Hereford who appealed to Rome he contended also with William of Yorke for bearing vp his Crosse thorough Kent and at another time with the Prior and Monkes of Canterburie Iohn Stratford being refused and not suffered to visite in Norwich diocesse excommunicated the Bishop suspended the Prior interdicted the Couent anno 1343. Offord and Braidwarden sate each of them but ten moneths and therefore could leaue no great memorie behind them of their doings Some of them are noted for their disloyaltie to their Prince as Thomas Becket who set himselfe against Henrie the 2. Winchelsey was banished the Realme by Edward the 1. because he was a disturber thereof and tooke part with Rebels Langhton suffered King Iohn his liege Lord to kisse his feete Arundel was adiudged by act of Parliament to be a traytor and condemned to banishment and his goods confiscate As for Courtney and Chichley they are detected in stories for their cruell hatred against the Church of Christ the first a great enemie to Wicklâ—ffe and his followers the other a most butcherly persecutor of Gods Saints and a contriuer of the vertuous and valiant Lord Cobhams cruel and vniust death against whom Arundel his predecessor gaue sentence and he executed the same Sudburie is pitied in Chronicles for his miserie being most cruelly beheaded of the Rebels not for religion but because he simply counselled the King not to goe to satisfie the tumultuous peoples demaunds and complaints which afterward he did before they could be appeased Islip is famous for nothing more but that he prohibited vpon paine of excommunication the people to abstaine from labour vpon certaine Saints daies Murton is commended not as a Bishop for true deuotion but as a wise and politike man for his sage aduice for conioyning the two houses of Yorke and Lancaster We see then what small honour Poperie giueth to the sectmasters thereof true religion would haue made them shine whereas their superstition hath buried them in obliuion according to the saying of the Wiseman The memoriall of the iust shall be blessed but the name of the wicked shall rot Prou. 10.7 Ambrose well saith of Valentinian Non ego floribus tumulum eius aspergam sed spirâ—tum eius Christi odore persundam hoc eius reliquias sacrabo hoc gratiam eius commendabo I will not sprinkle his graue with flowers but perfume his spirit with the sweete sauour of Christ with this will I honor his reliques and commend his gracious memorie So had those Princes and Prelates by true religion purchased an eternall memorie whereas by their idolatrie and superstition they haue gayned rather shame and ignominie Thus hath this brrgger faced vs out with a glittering shew of honor which is turned to dishonor rather and disgrace and so as Seneca sayth quae decipiunt nihil habent solidi tenue est mendacium perlucet si diligenter inspexeris deceitfull things haue no soundnes a lye is but a thinne mettall if you marke it well you shall soone see thorough it Now this cauiller turneth himselfe from defending of his religion to pick quarrels with ours and to lay open the infirmities and offences of it and to obiect against it The first obiection 1 HE obiecteth out of Luther that he should write it is the nature of the Gospell to cause warres that there is no Magistrate no superior c. it is to be intreated by many prayers that the countriemen obey not their Princes c. no lawe nor any syllable of lawe can be opposed vpon Christians more then themselues will pag. 86. 2 Caluine Beza with others decreed in their conuenticles that all lawfull policie and ciuill gouernment must be taken away they kept a councell to destroy the King of Fraunce his children and wife the Queene mother c. a Taylor and Cobler at Frankeford instituted new courts pag. 86. 3 Tyndall taught and Fox maintaineth these propositions following that it is impossible for vs to consent to the law of God the law requireth things impossible the law maketh vs hate God euery man is Lord of other mens goods the children of faith are vnder no lawe pag. 87. 4 The Protestants did write a booke against the temporall regiment of women pag. 87. 5 The Lord Cromwell Iohn Duke of Northumberland Cranmer were put to death for treason pag. 87. 6 The Councell of King Henry the eight onely the Lord Chauncelor Wriotheslie excepted did violate the Kings will and testament pag. 87. 7 The Protestant Councell of King Edward would haue disinherited her Maiestie and Queene Mary pag. 88. The Reiection 1. FIrst concerning Luther my answere is 1. that in those bookes which are quoted in the margen and cited by the aduersarie Luther hath no such words in the edition of his works at Wittemberge at the least not in any such sense that I by diligent search could find 2. for if he could haue bene detected of such grosse and erroneous sayings it is not like that Leo the 10. in his Bull against Luther wherein his errors are condemned would haue omitted them 3. in which Bull artic 34. these words are fathered vpon Luther that he should say Praeliari aduersus Turcas est aduersari Deo c. To warre against the Turks is to resist God visiting our iniquities which words Luther in his answere denyeth not thus expounding himselfe that he simplie condemned not the warre against the Turks but the Popes subtiltie that vnder that colour sought to enrich himselfe Hoc praeliari contra Turcas saepe pontificib magno fuit lucro This warring against the Turks hath brought great aduantage to the Bishops 4. For otherwise Luther taught obedience to the Magistrate and misliked all tumultuous and disordered courses as it may appeare by his misliking of Carolostadius violent proceedings who stirred vp the people by violence without the Magistrate to cast downe images at Wittemberge which Luther did not disproue as though he maintained Images but that this ought to be
