ought to prefer Religion before their lives their goods and whatever else they injoy if in that they chance to be prepossess'd by an errour of dangerous consequence to the Civil state they maintain and defend it to the utmost Nulla res multitudinem efficaciùs regit quàm Superstitio The League the Guelphs and Gibelines are sanguinary examples of it so as there is not a more mistaken and wicked policy then that of those who minding onely the present Age and their own interest suffer these Opinions to root themselves without considering that it is infinitely more easie to hinder their establishment then to stop their accurs'd effects when once they are confirm'd The next Pretence is to make the world believe that there is no such great reason to apprehend even the Opinion it self of the Pope's Sovereignty over the Temporals of Kings because say they Popes can exercise in so few Instances that they seldom happen as in case a Prince fall into a formal Apostasie from the Faith and the Church to embrace a false Religion But 't is in vain these Authors endeavour to excuse this pernicious Doctrine by this false Colour since those whom they would defend loudly disavow them as not induring that any should prescribe such narrow bounds to this Temporal Monarchy On the contrary there is nothing with these Divines so ordinary as the Occasions for which they give the Pope this right to depose Kings so as there is not one in Europe whom they may not justly depose according to their Maximes had they but as much power in effect as they conceive themselves to have in right Is there any thing more frequent then not to pursue the Pope's intentions in making Warre or Peace It suffices the Pope according to the Iesuites to dispossess a King whenever he shall conceive Peace or Warre necessary for Religion This is what Bellarmine teaches in express terms in his Book against Barclay cap. 19. And what saies Barclay if the Emperour refuse to draw his sword at the command of the Pope or draw it against his will I answer saies Bellarmine that if the Emperour will not draw his sword at the command of the Pope or draw it against his will and it shall be requisite for the Spiritual weal he shall force him to doe it by the spiritual Sword that is by his Censures to draw the material Sword or to sheath it again and if the Emperour be not concern'd with these Censures he shall absolve his Subjects from their obedience the necessity of the Church so requiring and even take away his Empire from him 'T is thus he shall make him know that the Sword is subordinate to the Sword according to the Bull Unam sanctam and that they both belong to the Church though not after the same manner We see likewise in Raynaldus Continuator of Baronius a famous example of this manner of proceeding in Popes For he reports Anno 1458. n. 36. That Calixtus the III d desiring to hinder the Warre 'twixt the King of Navarre and the Prince de Viana Heir of that Kingdom sent them a Legate with order if he could not reconcile them to Peace to dispose them as from the Pope to lay down their arms by menacing them with an Anathema and arming their neighbour Kings against him that should disobey Is not this to subject Kings in the noblest right of their Crowns which is to conclude Peace or Warre as themselves think fit Nor is there any thing more ordinary with the most Catholick Princes then to have Alliances with Princes either Hereticks or Infidels The example of Iohn d' Albret depos'd from the Kingdom of Navarre by Iulius the II d declares again that this pretence is sufficient for a Pope to depose Kings since this King had not been sold but on pretence of an Alliance which he was accus'd to have contracted with Lewis the XIIth whom this Pope pretended to be a Schismatick because he was in warre with him for Temporal interests 'T is a thing of no great consequence to molest a few Monks in the possession of their Privileges yet was that enough to depose a King and deprive him of his State For so it is that Bellarmine explicates the Privilege of S. Medard of Soissons falsly-attributed to S. Gregory and conceiv'd in these terms If either King Prelate Iudge or other Person whatsoever shall violate these Decrees of our Authority Apostolical or but contradict disquiet or trouble the Friers or shall ordain any thing contrary hereunto let him be depriv'd of his Dignity of whatsoever quality he be separated from the Communion of the Faithful and condemn'd to eternal pains in the judgement of God Though there was never any thing more false then this Privilege as all knowing persons understood and albeit it had been true one might say that it only contain'd a menate of God's displeasure very frequent in those Ages and not a severe sentence of downright Deposition yet did this serve the Iesuites turn in favour of Popes to establish them a right of dispossessing Princes and Iudges upon like occasions and they extort this very interpretation from Gregory the VIIth who takes in the same sense certain expressions somewhat resembling them of this Saint concerning the Hospital of Autun The interpretation of the words of S. Gregory saies Bellarmine de Potest Roman Pontif. in Temp. c. 40. is not mine but of another Gregory equal in Dignity and not much inferiour for Sanctity For S. Gregory VIIth in his Epistle to the Bishop of Mets which is the 21 of the 8 Book cites this place of S. Gregory to shew that the Emperour Henry was justly depos'd S. Gregory saies he declares that Kings are fallen from their dignity when they have the boldness to violate the Decrees of the Apostolical See writing in these terms to an Abbot nam'd Senator Si quis verò Regum c. So although one may and with great reason destroy that foundation which is alledg'd from S. Gregory yet one cannot doe it against the testimony of Gregory the VIIth who was no whitless infallible then he if all Popes be infallible and by consequent it must be acknowledg'd that by the Doctrine of Infallibility Popes have right to pronounce Kings to be fallen from their Dignity as often as they molest Monks and Religious men in the injoyment of the Privileges that have been given them by the holy See à fortiori therefore may it suffice to dispossess Chancellors Presidents Councellors and other Magistrates when they have given any judgment or sentence prejudicial to their Privileges But Innocent the III d in the chapter Novit de judiciis has open'd a door that leaves no considerable errour of Princes for which the Pope may not depose them at least if they persist in them For he pretends that granting he had no right to meddle in Secular affairs yet he was to judge of all such wherein there might be any mixture of
