Simmons at the Prince's Amrs in Ludgate Street 1682. A Brief Account of the Proceedings of the French Clergy in taking away the Pope 's Supremacy c. By way of Introduction to the following Letter and Protestation FOR the better understanding of some Passages in the Letter and Protestation it will be necessary to acquaint you with the Original and Progress of that contest which has so long continued between the Pope and the French King and Clergy of which if you desire to be inform'd fully and at large I must Refer you to a Book Published last Year Entitled The verbal Process or Proceedings of the Extraordinary Assembly of the Arch-Bishops and Bishops held at Paris in March 1680 1 and May 1681 Translated out of the Original French Papers The substance of which take as follows The late Pope's having denied the King's Right called in French Regale and in Latine Regalia which consists in his receiving the Profits of vacant Bishopricks in France and in the Collation of Dignities and Prehends during a vocancy and Claiming the same as their Right especially in four Provinces of that Kingdom the present French King in the Year 1673 caused a Declaration to be Publish'd and another in 1675 in which he asserts his Right of Regalia as well in the four Provinces as in all other parts of France and Commands his Officers appointed to Collect the Profits of vacant Benefices to execute their Office in all Places without distinction as Occasions should offer which was done accordingly and the Declarations were obeyed by all the Prelats except the Bishop of Pomiez who continued a Zealous Stickler for the Pope agaist the King in this Point to the time of his Death This difference between the Pope and the King and Clergy who opposed the Pope as well upon their own Account as the King 's as well shall see anon still increasing at last the Clergy by their Agents General begg'd leave of the King in 1680 1. That such Prelats as were then at Paris about the affairs of their Dioceses might meet and consult for the puting a speedy stop to some sinister practises of the Court of Rome repugnant to the tenour of the Canons the Liberties of the Gallican Church and the Laws of the Kingdom which Request being granted an Assembly consisting of six Arch-Bishops and 35. Bishops was held at Paris in the months of March 1680 1. and May. 1681. To this Assembly the said Agents of the Clergy presented a Memorial in which they Complain that divers Letters or Briefs had been dispers'd in the name of Pope Innocent XI containing many things very Prejudicial to the Regalia and to the Gallican Church viz. The Letter of the 18th of October 1680 which comdemns to the flames the Sentence of the Parliament of Paris past the 24th of September 1680 wherein are explained the Laws of the Kingdom in defence of the Authority of the Bishops The Letters to the King to hinder the Execution of the 2 last declarations about the Regalia Also several other Letters about the business of Pomiez either to the late Bishop of Pomiez or to the Arch-Bishop of Tholouse but especially the 2. last one of which dated the 23. of September confirms the Election of the Grand Vicars chosen by the Chapter in the vacancy of that See likewise an Injunction to acknowledge them upon pain of incurring the Severest penalties of the Church The other deliver'd the first of January Excommunicates the Arch-Bishop of Tholouse without using any of the forms observ'd in France which was Injurious to the Episcopal Dignity and equally mischievous both to Church and State The letter about the business of Charonne c. That the design of these Letters was to beget a misunderstanding and to create a difference between the Pope and the King to ruine the Canons receiv'd and observ'd in that Kingdome to engage the Pope upon bare Informations without any Appeal and omisso medio to Judge and in his Tribunal at Rome of his own meer motion and by the sole motive of the plenitude of his power to confirm several Elections which were nul and void thereby depriving the Bishops of their ordinary Authority Archbishops and Primates of their Jurisdiction and Interrupting the Order of Ecclesiastical Proceedings This Memorial having been read the Assembly desired the Arch Bishop of Paris their President to name six Commissioners who together with himself might consider what was to be done in these affaires and to make their Report to the Assembly which after Consultation was made accordingly by the Arch-Bishop of Reims one of the Commissioners in a long and elegant Speech the effect of which was as follows viz. That the Right of the Regalia which had caused the aforesaid Letters had been a very long time possess'd by their Kings Alexander the 3d. Innocent the 3d. Clement the 4th Gregory the 10th The second Council of Lyon and Gregory the 11th Yea their own Council of Bourges had acknowledg'd and approv'd it That no Assembly of the French Clergy ever pretended that businesses relating to the Regalia ought to be brought before an Ecclesiastical Tribunal but to be Debated and decided by the Jurisdiction of the King's Council only For confirmation of this he said that Philip of Valois by his Order of October 1334. decided all differences of this Nature which happen'd in his Reign That Lewis 11. by his declaration of the 24th of May 1463 prohibits all his Subjects to have any Process concerning the Regalia before an Ecclesiastical Judge no not in the Court of Rome it self and yet that it did not Appear that either John 22. or Pious 2. complain'd of it That the Province of Britany which was not reunited to the Crown of France till the Year 1532 was Subjected to the Regalia by a Degree of Parliament in 1598 in the Popedom of Clement 8. who complain'd not of it no not to the Cardinal of Ossat who then attending the Pope confesseth that the King might Extend the Regalia upon all the Bishopricks of his Kingdom That the Principles of the Pope and of the King ●●●●cers about the Regalia were very different viz.
