A73418 Roger Widdringtons last reioynder to Mr. Thomas Fitz-Herberts Reply concerning the oath of allegiance, and the Popes power to depose princes wherein all his arguments, taken from the lawes of God, in the Old and New Testament, of nature, of nations, from the canon and ciuill law, and from the Popes breues, condemning the oath, and the cardinalls decree, forbidding two of Widdringtons bookes are answered : also many replies and instances of Cardinall Bellarmine in his Schulckenius, and of Leonard Lessius in his Singleton are confuted, and diuers cunning shifts of Cardinall Peron are discouered.

that_o prince_n may_v in_o some_o case_n be_v depose_v by_o the_o pope_n but_o i_o always_o affirm_v that_o the_o aforesaid_a decree_n or_o rather_o act_n do_v only_o concern_v the_o deposition_n of_o inferior_a magistrate_n or_o lord_n by_o the_o consent_n and_o authority_n of_o absolute_a prince_n &_o that_o therefore_o that_o act_n or_o decree_n be_v not_o make_v by_o mere_a ecclesiastical_a

although_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o temporal_a prince_n have_v authority_n to_o make_v temporal_a law_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o in_o make_v such_o law_n they_o can_v err_v and_o therefore_o their_o law_n be_v not_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o of_o fact_n only_o but_o the_o church_n in_o make_v law_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a concern_v such_o matter_n of_o fact_n or_o manner_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n can_v err_v by_o command_v anything_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o gospel_n or_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o such_o law_n be_v not_o only_a matter_n of_o fact_n but_o also_o of_o faith_n 29._o that_o wherein_o i_o be_v confident_a be_v this_o that_o see_v my_o adversary_n have_v not_o hitherto_o bring_v nor_o will_v ever_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v any_o one_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v
hold_v with_o catholic_a faith_n be_v true_o a_o general_a council_n therefore_o unto_o this_o day_n it_o remain_v a_o question_n even_o among_o catholic_n and_o all_o the_o world_n see_v that_o the_o divine_n of_o paris_n be_v admit_v to_o sacrament_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v tolerate_v if_o they_o commit_v any_o heresy_n error_n or_o temerity_n for_o defend_v this_o doctrine_n as_o

it_o evident_o follow_v first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o certain_a and_o infallible_a that_o the_o pope_n with_o his_o cardinal_n and_o divine_n yea_o and_o with_o the_o particular_a roman_a church_n

that_o the_o power_n to_o command_v temporal_a thing_n in_o order_n to_o spiritual_a good_a be_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n accessory_a or_o consequent_a to_o the_o power_n

less_o noble_a and_o worthy_a as_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v more_o noble_a than_o temporal_a therefore_o the_o power_n to_o command_v spiritual_a thing_n may_v be_v well_o call_v the_o principal_a and_o the_o
to_o inflict_v spiritual_a punishment_n have_v also_o power_n to_o dispose_v of_o temporal_n and_o not_o only_o to_o command_v or_o enjoin_v but_o also_o to_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n or_o to_o punish_v temporal_o by_o way_n of_o constraint_n for_o although_o temporal_n be_v ordain_v to_o spiritual_n in_o that_o sense_n as_o i_o have_v often_o declare_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n may_v

belong_v to_o a_o horse_n as_o to_o the_o true_a owner_n thereof_o or_o so_o proper_a to_o a_o horse_n that_o the_o horse_n can_v not_o be_v without_o that_o bridle_n for_o so_o indeed_o it_o will_v very_o well_o follow_v from_o that_o maxim_n that_o he_o who_o be_v lord_n of_o that_o horse_n be_v also_o lord_n of_o that_o bridle_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v buy_v that_o horse_n shall_v also_o

under_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n only_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o condition_n as_o religion_n towards_o god_n honour_n to_o parent_n piety_n towards_o our_o country_n and_o such_o like_a do_v only_o

they_o be_v contain_v precept_n and_o prohibition_n and_o also_o grant_n concession_n and_o permission_n 25_o but_o they_o differ_v first_o and_o principal_o for_o the_o affirmative_a precept_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n do_v not_o infer_v any_o necessity_n of_o the_o thing_n command_v only_o of_o it_o own_o nature_n by_o some_o evident_a deduction_n from_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n

wherefore_o in_o regard_n of_o humane_a reason_n the_o law_n of_o nation_n do_v not_o only_o declare_v the_o act_n to_o be_v evil_a but_o do_v also_o make_v it_o evil_n neither_o do_v it_o forbid_v evil_a for_o that_o it_o be_v evil_a as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v but_o by_o forbid_v the_o act_n it_o make_v it_o evil_n second_o they_o differ_v in_o universality_n and_o community_n to_o

of_o nation_n can_v be_v so_o immutable_a as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n because_o immutability_n do_v proceed_v from_o necessity_n and_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a necessity_n there_o can_v be_v the_o like_a immutability_n whereupon_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v that_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v mutable_a for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o depend_v upon_o the_o consent_n of_o man_n and_o the_o reason_n is●_n for_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v not_o simple_o absolute_o and_o

by_o virtue_n of_o humane_a consent_n which_o have_v be_v introduce_v at_o leastwise_o by_o a_o general_a custom_n and_o therefore_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n there_o be_v no_o repugnance_n

otherwise_o in_o that_o law_n which_o be_v common_a by_o the_o use_n and_o custom_n of_o nation_n as_o among_o themselves_o they_o have_v a_o certain_a society_n and_o communication_n for_o the_o first_o law_n may_v be_v change_v by_o a_o particular_a kingdom_n or_o commonwealth_n for_o as_o much_o as_o concern_v that_o kingdom_n or_o commonwealth_n because_o that_o law_n as_o it_o be_v in_o

be_v per_fw-la se_fw-la and_o of_o it_o own_o nature_n in_o every_o commonwealth_n do_v depend_v upon_o their_o peculiar_a determination_n and_o authority_n or_o custom_n of_o that_o commonwealth_n

with_o the_o state_n i_o do_v sincere_o protest_v and_o call_v god_n to_o be_v both_o a_o witness_n and_o revenger_n if_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o albeit_o i_o have_v be_v send_v for_o sometime_o

name_n to_o seek_v redress_n against_o some_o uncharitable_a person_n who_o have_v most_o unconscionable_o wrong_v i_o and_o seek_v my_o overthrow_n who_o although_o they_o be_v of_o great_a account_n among_o catholic_n yet_o if_o the_o truth_n be_v know_v they_o will_v be_v most_o odious_a to_o all_o man_n for_o their_o execrable_a dissimulation_n and_o unchristian_a carriage_n nevertheless_o i_o think_v it_o best_a to_o remit_v my_o innocie_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o my_o cause_n to_o almighty_a god_n who_o in_o due_a time_n will_v be_v a_o just_a judge_n and_o a_o severe_a revenger_n hope_v that_o my_o patience_n may_v in_o time_n be_v a_o occasion_n of_o their_o repentance_n yet_o i_o do_v free_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o be_o infinite_o bind_v to_o his_o majesty_n to_o my_o lord_n of_o canterbury_n &_o diverse_a other_o of_o high_a place_n &_o degree_n although_o i_o have_v never_o speak_v with_o they_o for_o many_o special_a favour_n among_o which_o i_o

will_v ever_o pray_v for_o their_o eternal_a and_o temporal_a happiness_n and_o account_v myself_o unable_a to_o give_v they_o sufficient_a thanks_n for_o the_o same_o and_o true_o i_o do_v wish_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o all_o catholic_n will_v give_v such_o outward_a token_n of_o their_o true_a and_o inward_a loyalty_n and_o sincere_a affection_n towards_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o
