A91303	The treachery and disloyalty of papists to their soveraignes, in doctrine and practise. Together with an exact parallel of the jurisdiction, power, and priviledges claimed and exercised by our popish Parliaments, prelates, Lords and Commons in former times, with those now claimed and practised by the present Parliament, Lords and Commons, which are here manifested to be farre more loyall, dutifull, moderate; more consistent with, lesse invasive on, and destructive to the Kings pretended soveraigne power and prerogative, then those of popish parliaments, and subjects. Wherein likewise the traiterous, antimonarchicall doctrines, practises and attempts of papists upon their soveraignes prerogatives, crownes, persons, with the dangerous consequences, effects, and designes, of their present illegall arming, and accesse to the Kings Army, and person by meanes of evill counsellours, are briefely discovered; ...

Crimination 1. for arming Papists against Law is That the Parliament hath traytorously invaded the Kings Prerogatives in a high degree claymed a power and jurisdiction above his Majesty in sundry particulars and â—surped â—o its selfe a more exorbitant unlimited arbitrary authority in making Lawes imposing taxes c. then any Parliaments challenged in former ages to represse which insolencies and reduce the Parliament to its due limits his Majestie is now necessited to raise an Army and pray in avde of Papists who in former ages have beene more moderate in their Parliaments and are like to prove most cordiall in this service To answer which pretence more fully though it be for the maine of it most palpably false yet by way of admission onely I shall suppose it true and with all possible brevitie manifest That Parliaments Prelates Peeres and Commons in times of Popery have both claimed and exercised farre greater authority over our Kings and their Prerogatives then this or any other Protestant Parliament hath done Wherefore Papists of â—ll others have least cause to taxe the Parliaments proceedings and those ill Counsellors small reason to imâ—loy Answ or trust Papists in this service To descend to some particular heads of complaint involved in this generall First it is objected that the Parliament and some of its h The observations A suller answer to Doctor Ferne with others Advocates with its approbation affirme that â—e Parliament being the representative body of the whole Kingdome is in some respects of greater power and authoritie â—hen the King who though he be singulis major yet he is universis minor which is contrary to the oath of supremacy wherein every Subject * 1 Eliz. ch 2. doth utterly testifie and declare in his conscience that the Kings highnesse is THE ONELY SVPREAME GOVERNOVR of this Realme c. as well in all spirituall or Ecclesiasticall causes as Temporall â—nd a kind of unkinging his Majestie no wayes to be indured To which I answer first that if this Doctrine be either Traytorous or Hereticall the Papists were the first broaâ—hers of it long agoe For Hen. de Bracton a famous English Lawyer who writ in King Henry the third his â—eigne lib. 2. cap. 16. f. 34. a. resolves thus i Rex habet superiorem Deum c.

The Pope is in the Church as a King is in his Kingdome and for a King to be of more authority then his Kingdome it were too absurd Ergo Neither ought the Pope to be above the Church In every well ordered Kingdome it ought specially to be desired that the whole Realme should be of more authority then the King which if it happened contrary were not to be called a Kingdome but a Tyranny And like as oftentimes Kings which doe wickedly governe the Common-wealth and expresse cruelty are deprived of â—heir Kingdomes even so it is not to bee doubted but that the Bishop of Rome may be deposed by the Church that is to say by the generall Councell At the beginning as * Lib. 2. Cicero in his Offices saith it is certaine there was a time when as the people lived without Kings But afterwards when Lands and possessions began to be divided according to the Custome of every Nation then were Kings ordained for no other causes but onely to execute justice for when at the beginning the common people were oppressed by rich and mighty men they ran by and by to some good and vertuous man which should defend the poore from injury and ordaine Lawes whereby the rich and poore might dwell together But when as yet under the rule of Kings the poore were oftentimeâ— oppressed Lawes were ordained and instituted the which should judge neither for hatred nor favour and give like eare unto the poore as rich whereby wee understand and know not onely the people but also the King to be subject to the Law For if wee doe see a King to contemne and dispise the Lawes violently rob and spoyle his Subjects dâ—flower Virgins dishonest Matrons and doe all things licentiously and temerariously doe not the Nobles of the Kingdome Assemble together deposing him from his Kingdome set up another in his place which shall sweare to rule and governe uprightly and be obedient unto the Lawes Verily as reason doth perswade even so
