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.

joas_n be_v alive_a to_o who_o it_o do_v by_o lawful_a right_n appertain_v therefore_o joiada_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n that_o joas_n shall_v not_o by_o athalia_fw-la be_v deprive_v of_o his_o right_n to_o the_o kingdom_n therefore_o he_o be_v bind_v when_o it_o do_v lie_v in_o his_o power_n to_o make_v joas_n king_n second_o this_o be_v manifest_a because_o joiada_n be_v in_o a_o certain_a manner_n by_o his_o office_n to_o make_v joas_n king_n because_o after_o the_o king_n there_o be_v none_o great_a among_o the_o people_n than_o be_v the_o high_a priest_n and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o king_n therefore_o it_o belong_v to_o joiada_n as_o to_o the_o high_a priest_n to_o redress_v the_o agreevance_n which_o happen_v among_o the_o people_n and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a agreevance_n that_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o his_o right_n and_o therefore_o joiada_n be_v in_o this_o bound_n as_o much_o of_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n to_o procure_v a_o remedy_n by_o anoint_v joas_n king_n to_o who_o the_o kingdom_n do_v of_o right_o belong_v three_o this_o be_v manifest_a because_o every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o execute_v the_o know_a will_n of_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o do_v prejudice_n charity_n or_o some_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o god_n have_v say_v that_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n there_o shall_v be_v

as_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n to_o accomplish_v that_o will_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o shall_v anoint_v joas_n king_n and_o this_o be_v that_o whereon_o joiada_n ground_v himself_o when_o

joiada_n to_o command_v athalia_fw-la to_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o cause_n be_v just_a to_o wit_n for_o that_o she_o intend_v to_o kill_v the_o king_n see_v that_o she_o have_v usurp_v the_o kingdom_n and_o also_o she_o be_v guilty_a of_o death_n for_o many_o other_o cause_n or_o she_o have_v slay_v all_o the_o king_n son_n and_o she_o be_v a_o disturber_n of_o the_o people_n and_o a_o corrupt_a of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n see_v that_o she_o bring_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o baal_n into_o jerusalem_n and_o have_v make_v there_o a_o temple_n and_o have_v priest_n therefore_o any_o one_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v sufficient_a that_o she_o may_v be_v slay_v also_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o joiada_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o power_n for_o that_o now_o that_o be_v the_o king_n be_v in_o his_o minority_n he_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o people_n as_o be_v the_o high_a priest_n who_o be_v always_o the_o great_a judge_n in_o israel_n from_o who_o sentence_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o appeal_v under_o pain_n of_o death_n or_o to_o contemn_v in_o any_o wise_a his_o commandment_n deut._n 17._o nevertheless_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o king_n in_o temporall_n and_o may_v be_v judge_v by_o he_o as_o the_o say_v abulensis_n before_o affirm_v where_o he_o assign_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o judge_n and_o a_o king_n also_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o joiada_n in_o regard_n he_o now_o represent_v the_o king_n person_n for_o he_o make_v a_o covenant_n in_o the_o place_n or_o person_n of_o the_o king_n with_o all_o the_o people_n and_o with_o god_n and_o he_o represent_v the_o king_n person_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o that_o he_o have_v hitherto_o keep_v he_o hide_v and_o now_o he_o anoint_v he_o king_n but_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o king_n to_o command_v athalia_fw-la to_o be_v slay_v who_o have_v usurp_v the_o kingdom_n therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a also_o for_o joiada_n who_o represent_v the_o king_n person_n in_o all_o thing_n 53_o now_o i_o remit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o understand_a man_n although_o he_o be_v never_o so_o partial_a whether_o every_o faithful_a subject_n have_v great_a

chapter_n to_o prove_v by_o the_o subordination_n of_o temporal_a thing_n to_o spiritual_a that_o the_o pope_n because_o he_o have_v power_n to_o command_v and_o to_o dispose_v of_o spiritual_a

that_o place_n yet_o lessius_fw-la do_v not_o ground_n his_o argument_n upon_o that_o rule_n the_o accessory_n follow_v the_o principal_a but_o upon_o this_o maxim_n he_o that_o can_v do_v the_o

include_v in_o excommunication_n or_o the_o power_n to_o depose_v in_o the_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o good_a argument_n can_v be_v draw_v from_o that_o maxim_n he_o that_o can_v do_v the_o great_a can_v do_v the_o less_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o pope_n because_o he_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v a_o king_n which_o be_v the_o great_a have_v power_n also_o

that_o the_o apostle_n say_v so_o then_o to_o produce_v the_o apostle_n word_n second_o although_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o say_v that_o those_o thing_n

that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v before_o may_v easy_o perceive_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n argument_n be_v this_o the_o church_n must_v have_v all_o necessary_a and_o

to_o inflict_v ecclesiastical_a censure_n be_v consider_v in_o itself_o be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v soul_n and_o that_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n be_v so_o dreadful_a punishment_n as_o i_o have_v

beside_o a_o power_n sufficient_a of_o itself_o sufficient_a force_n might_n

and_o effectual_a mean_n to_o withdraw_v man_n actual_o from_o sin_n for_o this_o be_v extreme_a folly_n to_o say_v as_o my_o adversary_n himself_o confess_v for_o the_o sufficiency_n say_v he_o of_o the_o power_n which_o christ_n have_v leave_v to_o his_o church_n in_o this_o point_n or_o any_o other_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o power_n be_v consider_v in_o itself_o be_v sufficient_a to_o

will_v contend_v that_o the_o church_n must_v have_v a_o more_o sufficient_a power_n to_o save_v soul_n than_o which_o of_o itself_o be_v sufficient_a if_o it_o meet_v with_o a_o capable_a subject_n and_o have_v no_o external_a impediment_n must_v needs_o suppose_v that_o the_o church_n must_v also_o have_v sufficient_a force_n might_n and_o effectual_a mean_n to_o save_v soul_n and_o a_o power_n to_o make_v the_o subject_a capable_a and_o to_o remove_v all_o external_a impediment_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o must_v have_v such_o a_o sufficient_a power_n which_o be_v not_o only_o

for_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v for_o that_o these_o two_o be_v opposite_a part_n or_o member_n of_o the_o distinction_n i_o make_v before_o and_o no_o man_n that_o have_v any_o skill_n in_o logic_n

the_o other_o and_o from_o the_o deny_v of_o the_o one_o to_o the_o affirm_v of_o the_o other_o if_o therefore_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n to_o inflict_v ecclesiastical_a censure_n be_v of_o itself_o a_o sufficient_a coercive_v power_n to_o withdraw_v man_n from_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o ecclesiastical_a power_n and_o if_o man_n be_v not_o thereby_o withdraw_v from_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o insufficiency_n of_o the_o power_n but_o of_o the_o indisposition_n of_o the_o subject_n no_o other_o coercive_v power_n to_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n

it_o contain_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v flat_a contrary_n to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n but_o no_o catholic_a do_v in_o this_o sense_n either_o take_v the_o oath_n or_o defend_v it_o to_o be_v
