The priesthood of Christ according to the scriptures nor yet to let others and to hide the light vnder a bushell The third office which is his priesthood consisteth in two principal points In our redemption in his intercession our redemption hath two parts expiation and sanctification In expiation behold foure speciall points first that the word betokeneth a full and entire paiment of all that is due vnto God Secondly that which is due is death according to the sentence giuen by God himselfe Gen. 2.17 Rom. 5.12.6 23 vnderstanding by death not onely the separation of the soule from the bodie which is called the first death Genesis 3.19 whence followeth putrefaction of the bodie in the graue but the second death also which is the frightfull yre and malediction of God reuenging with all perpetuitie sinne in the bodie and soule of the sinner which horrible state is eternall in the diuell and the damned Thirdly this expiation betokeneth not the payment for one sinner but for all sinners I meane the elect which haue been are or shall be to the ende of the world not of one sinne but of all sinnes except that against the holy ghost which is vnpardonable Fourthly this paiment was to be offered by him who in respect of himselfe should be no way bound to this malediction but a pledge suretie for others Now of sinnes or debts to be paied there be two kindes Hebr 7.22 some originall some actuall originall sinne must be considered in two diuers respectes first touching the corruption of the whole man which is as it were the essence of this sinne Secondly touching that which followeth it namely that which makes vs children of wrath worthie of the curse of God from our conception This is it we teach and build out of the word of God In this behold how many waies the papistes play the traitors

Thou art an other god vpon earth Againe it is written of him Dominus Deus noster Papa Our Lord God the Pope In the proheme of the Clementines fol. 3. Papa id est admirabilis nec Deus nec homo quasi neuter es inter vtrumque The Pope is so named because he is wonderfull thou art neither God nor man but as it were a neuter betwixt both Againe Excepto peccato omnia potest quae Deus except sin he can doe all that God can doe He can make holy that which is vnholy pardon sins iustifie the wicked dispense against the old and new Testament Againe Omnis potestas data est mihi in terra All power is giuen to me in earth Now I report me to all them whose iudgement is not quite peruerted whether Mahomet euer did or could speake more blasphemously against the honour of God or Iesus Christ than these diuellish Doctors But we must remember here that as Mahomet hauing renounced the person of the sonne of God yet calleth himselfe his seruant So the Pope claiming supreame iurisdiction in all causes and throughout all countries yet vaileth bonnet and stoopeth his stile calling himselfe seruum seruorum Dei Of whose shamelesse hypocrisie or dissembled humilitie this Distich hath been framed worthie remembrance Roma tibi quondam suberant Domini Dominorum Seruorum serui hunc tibi sunt Domini Time was o Rome whē Lord of Lords Did yeeld thee fealtee Time 's past and seruants seruants now Thy Lords and masters be The fourth semblance is in their laws For Mahomet in his Alcoran commandeth his followers to kill the infidell The fourth semblance in the likelihood of their lawes to auenge themselues and to take no wrong and telleth them that whosoeuer killeth his enemie shall haue the greater share in paradice he permitteth the hauing of many wiues diuorcement for trifling causes by which damnable waies he hath enlarged his kingdome by his successors and partly by fraud partly by force hath brought a great part of the world vnder his tyrannicall subiection Now see whether the Foxe and the Lion agree not as wel as two heads vnder one hood For as Mahomet commaunds to kill and promiseth paradice to them that kil most so the Pope giues authoritie and power to kill the true Christians and promiseth immortalitie to them that murther their naturall princes Secondly as Mahomet commaundeth his to auenge themselues so the Popes doctrine is not farre short of it when he teacheth it to be the counsell of Christ not his commaundement to loue our enemies Thirdly as that damned wretch alloweth the hauing of many wiues and diuorcement for trifling causes so the Pope although he admitte not Polygamie yet simple fornication with him is no deadly sinne He erecteth stewes and brothell houses yea the sinne of Sodome hath been allowed by some of these maiden fathers Ioan. Rauisius Textor in his booke called officina and gelded bishops as by Sixtus the fourth who also gaue licence to all the generation of the Cardinall of Saint Lucie who was his huntsman to vse this sodomiticall filthines in the three hot monthes of the yeare namely Iune Iuly and August What should I tell you that Iohannes de Casa an Arch-prelate and grand-captaine writ a booke in commendation of it Of Catholike O shamelesse harlot to magnifie that in writing the onely thought wherof ought to wound the heart with horrour Thirdly as Mahomet permitted diuorcement for trifling causes so is it a cleare case that the Pope in this point hath also contradicted the doctrine of Christ Lastly as he promiseth paradice to the vilest creatures so the Pope granteth his pardons de paenitētijs iniungendis that is to a man before he sinne and what is this but with Mahomet to open heauen to the basest villaines in the world The which vntollerable beastlines of them God hath raised vp diuers of their owne countrie to displaie Venalia nobis Templa altaria sacra Coronae Ignes thura preces coelum est venale Deusque Thus englished Wares of all sort are here to be sold Buy what you will for money downe told Churches priestes offerings altars and crowne We passe for quicke sale all cities and townes Fire frankencense dirges and pardons from paine Hell Heauen God the Diuell we giue all for gaine Fontana di dolore albergo d'ira Schola d'errori ètempio d'heresia That is to say A gulfe of griefe a rocke of furious rage And take it in briefe a schoole or common cage Of errours most strange faire Rome to looke vpon But marke well the change now beastlie Babilon O dungeon most deepe of fraud deceite and guile O cage fit to keepe hot hate and vengeance vile Where vices preuaile and vertue lies starke dead Where sinne with full saile all states hath long misled O whirpoole of hell o foule and stinking Iakes Such as in thee dwel all goodnes quite forsakes A rare and strange world wonder thou wilt of all be thought If Sathan keepe thee vnder and Christ set thee at nought O nest of deulish treason from whence all vices issue O enemie to reason and fatall foe to vertue O drudge to drowsie drunkennes and surfetting excesse O shrowd of shifters shamelesse as whores and such like guesse I will knit it vp with this pretie Pasquil Roma quid est amor est Qualis praeposterus vnde hoc Roma mares noli dicere plura scio The first semblance is in cloaking their falsehood The first semblance in cunning cloaking of their knaueries for Mahomet notwithstanding his impietie and blasphemies saith that his doctrine is answerable to the old and new testament but yet so that no man examine his lawes vpon paine of death as if one paying money should charge the receiuer neuer to looke vpon it in the daylight and I beseech you who would not suspect such paie euen so dealeth the Pope for they count it heresie for the vulgar people to reade the scriptures in a knowne language and as for them vnto whom they must refer themselues they haue scarce seene the couerings of the bookes for the greatest part of them In deede there be some wallet brethren who are still chattering vntill their chappes be made vp but as for the scriptures they either are buried or els yelled howled censed adored clouted and patched vp in a strange language and vpon some solemne feast day sophisticated prouided that their laytie neither suspect nor sifit them but that they haue a good meaning and refer themselues to their articles The sixt semblance is in the likelihood of their bulwarkes for the fence of their kingdomes Mahomet commands first The sixt semblance in making like fences for their falsehoode to kill them which speake against his Alcoran Secondly hee forbiddeth to confer with a contrarie sect Thirdly that no credit bee giuen to any of a contrarie religion In like sort the Pope murders them that contradict his owne constitutions
