ARTICLES PROPOSED To the Catholiques of England whereunto it was required they should subscribe their negative answers whereby it might be understood they professe that there is nothing contained in these three Articles which doth necessarily belong to the Catholique Faith and Religion insomuch that they may and will abjure if it be thought needfull the practise and execution of them all 1. THat the Pope or Church hath power to absolve any person or persons from their obedience to the civill and po●iticall Government established or to be established in this Nation in civill and politicall affairs 2. That by the command or dispensation of the Pope or Church it is lawfull to kill destroy or doe any injury to any person or persons living within the Kings Dominions because that such a person or persons are accused condemned censured or excommunicated for errour schisme or herefie 3. That it is lawfull in it self or by dispensation from the Pope to break promise or oath made to any of the a●oresaid persons under pretence that they are Herètiques Fifty English Catholique Gentlemen have subscribed negative answers to these three Articles upon certain conditions secretly agreed vpon for the good and freer exercise of the Catholique Religion they being assured by divers Priests both Seculars and Regulars under their hand writings that it was lawfull for them so to do Which since a Congregation in Rome hath ordained and decreed was not nor is not lawfull Whereupon a Priest writeth out of England to his friend a Doctor of Divinity of Paris and sends him a copy of this Congregationall Decree earnestly desiring him that he will let him freely know his sentiment and opinion in this businesse which Doctors answer to the question ●ere followeth Most dear Brother in Christ HAving seriously considered the three Articles you sent me with their little Preface which you say containes in brief the substance of what was intended both by the proposers and your selves I cannot refuse neither in charity nor friendship to give you my opinion concerning your subs●ription thereunto Yet being unwilling you should rely upon my private and particular judgment in a matter of such moment I have consulted with severall great and learned men of our Nation but especially some of the most ancient and learned Doctors of Divinity of our faculty here whose constant sentiments are that not only in their opinions your Act is lawfull just and true but that it is also the generall and universall belie●e of all the learned and judicious men of this Kingdome So that I see not upon what grounds you need seare or apprehend the cen●ures which the Decree of the Congregation in Rome pretends you have incurred Were your Kingdome or State setled and that your liberty depended only upon your giving assurance of your fidelity I should easily procure you such Soveraigne Antydotes against your timerous apprehensions and such publike Declarations of your duty in this kind as that none but either weakly scrupulous or busily factious would be any whit moved at the interressed proceedings of the Court of Rome Me thinks you should not be ignorant how such Decrees of those Congregations are slighted and rejected in the supream Courts of this Kingdom by the most learned and most vertuous secular Judges of the Christian World Even those who bear the most dutiful respect to his Holinesse as well Seculars as Regulars will openly profess that the cabals and interests of the Court of Rome are now so generally known that the Decrees of their Congregations are scarcely taken notice of out of the Popes Territories We had no● many months ag●e such a Decree sent hither from Rome to the Pope's Nun●o against a late booke called L●s granaeurs de L'●gise Romaine which because the Pope● Nun●io would have published dispersed throughout the Kingdom having obtained license from the King to it The Kings Advocate General Mr. Talon a man worthy of his place made a learne speech in open Parliament without any relation or interest to the doctrine of the book against the admittance of such decrees wherein hee remarked very well the different nature and quality of these con●r●gauonall Decrees which were never received nor acknowledged as legall and authenticall in France from the Buls of his Holinesse as head of the Church And this speech was immediatly confirmed and ratified by a judgment given by this renowned Senate and so the publication of the decree was hindered and suppressed There was likewise in the year 1625. a seditious book written by one Garasse a Jesuit but bearing no name entituled Admonitio ad Regem secretly dispersed up and down in this City which was condemned by a genera Synod of the Clergy of this Kingdom then assembled in this town wherein the indispensable duty and obedience of Catholique Subjects to an heretical and even to a persecuting King or State was particularly declared avouched You may see the words themselvs pag. 12. quare id ipsum c. Given ut Paris in the Generall Assembly of the Clergy the 13. of Decemb. 1625. Whereupon one Sanctarellus an Italian Jesuit was caused to write a book in approbation of the Pope's temporal authority to depose Kings and Princes and to absolve their Subjects from their obedience which was presently censured by our faculty of Divinity and the affirmative doctrine of your first article which is your chief difficulty and other such like positions were improved and condemned as new false erroneous contrary to the Word of God c. Given in the Sor●on the 1. of April 1626. Hereupon four of the most famous Jesuits of France then residing superiou●s in their Colledges here were sent to the Parliament and being demanded their opinions in this point they confirmed and ratified this censure under their hands professing farther that they did and would consent and adneer to what the Sorbon had or should declare in this or any other matter of Doctrine I could send you the particulars of these and many such like proceedings here being partly in print partly upon publike record but I conceive it need esse at least for the present However the Court of Rome's pretentions to secular and temporal power over Kings and Common-wealths are now grown out of date nor was it ever authorized but by the execution of it The origine of the Pope's authority in temporal affaires is well enough known the great piety ahd respect to the Sea of Rome of divers antient Emperours Kings and Princes have made them receive their Crownes and Diadems from his sacred hands and cast their Swords and Scepters at his Saintly feet Others have made use of the Pope's swaying power to settle themselves in their usurped Monarchies and Princedomes not any versed in Ecclesiastical History but knowes the particulars of these truths But to come back to your Decree I perceive that the Authors of it looking only upon the negative answers to the bare Articles without the preface or separated instrument
