that vn till Christs comming againe 1 Tim. 6.14 So if you looke beyond Luther you shall finde that there neuer wanted a visible company of Pastors protesting against the innovated doctrines of the Church of Rome which made as I suppose the Iesuite disputants in Sir Humphrey Linds his house ashamed to try the succession of doctrine offering their blinde buttery booke of names For if they durst try their succession of their doctrine Why did they not either then vndertake it or since make supplication to his Maiesty that they might proue the same and so saue their Credits And since that I had digested and set downe in writing these former inducements I haue beene yet further confirmed by the reading of two bookes the one of Sir Humphrey Linds intituled via tuta wherein is manifestly proued that whatsoeuer the Protestants hold positiuely for matter of faith no learned Papists can or euer could deny And that whatsoeuer the Protestants deny of the things held by the Papists the same cannot be prooued to be Catholicke and Apostolicke agreeing with the Apostles Creed The other is Doctor Fauours booke entituled Antiquity triumphing ouer Nouelties wherein is as plainely proued that the Papists doe speake contemptuously and disgracefully of the Scriptures to deterre men from reading of them Contemne those first and best generall Councels wherin they speake against them and for the Protestants And in the later they take what parts make for them and reiect what makes against them as reprobate as I find Cardinall Bellarmines distinction of them to bee partim probata partim reprobata L. 1. c. 4. de concil eccl The like doe they by the Fathers and also by Histories as you may see if you reade cap. 7 8 9. of the said booke of D. Fauour And all this it seemeth will not serue the turne for they haue set vp shops and Inquisitors of purpose called their Indices Expurgatorij to blot out in the Catholicke Writers what makes against them with a deleatur and to adde what may serue their turne And likewise in their citations they make vse of Bastard and counterfeit Fathers acknowledged by themselues to be such as you may see more plainly and particularly in Doctor Iames his booke printed 1612. entituled A Treatise of Scripture Councels Fathers corrupted by the Romish Pastors And as for their contempt of the Fathers When Tertullian pleaseth Bellarmine he is with him granissimus Author A most graue Author a famous Doctor a Catholike Writer Bellar. de Rom. pont l. 2. c. 5. But if he speake against or please not Bellarmine then he is an Heretique and he will answer fidem non esse omnino adhibendam Tertulliano in hac parte that no credite at all is to be giuen to Tertullian in this case ibid. lib. 4. cap. 8. And as for the vse which the Papists doe afford vnto that euidence of antiquity which is histories Doctor Fauour proposeth certaine examples to make it plaine that in this case the Romanists either miserably or doggedly snarle at all antiquity or vtterly reiect and deny it Cap. 9. § 20. the most expedite course they can deuise to ouerthrow that which in truth would ouerthrow them His first instance is in the matter of Pope Ione The truth of which historie when he hath confirmed by the witnesse of more then a double Grand-iurie of sufficient Authors older and later Greekes and Latines domesticall and forraigne Diuines Lawyers and Physitians Philosophers Poets and other humanitians Priests Bishops in their accompt Saints and Cardinals Fryars Monkes and Canons yea and whole Vniuersities not one of them an enemy nay not so much as one of them not a friend to the Roman Catholicke Court and Religion c. At last hauing named the seuerall Authors in the Margin of his page hee saith Yet because this story doth preiudice the vaunt of their perpetuall succession doth make vncertaine their pretended onely sufficient ordination giues a shrewd shake to their counterfeit rocke c. Fiue or sixe and thirty Authors constantly in diuers countries in many Ages in Catholicke Vninersities Citizens of Rome and Officers in the Popes Court secular religious are all corrupted falsified denyed discredited shaken off and branded with infamy and all must be without sap or sense truth or honesty learning or credit onely to salue that frothy Sea from this filthy Queane And all this begun and set on foot by that one consciencelesse Onuphrius De Rom. pon● l. 2. c. 6. whom Cardinall Bellarmine himselfe reiecteth as a contradictor of all antiquity and for auouching that for which he hath no authority Who was borne some hundreds of yeares after some of the said Historians which is strange that any man should beleeue it fit that he alone is sufficient to out-beard and out-face all former antiquity And saith D. Fauour I maruell how they laugh not one at another when they see how they gull the simple world as the Auruspices did among the Gentiles His second example is the story of Pope Silvester the second infeofing Antichrist in the Sea of Rome by liucrie and seisin about which he sheweth that they vse the like dealing as about the former story of Pope Ione And while I considered these foule abuses in the Church of Rome there came to my minde an answer which a Iesuite Father Floyd made vnto me when I told him that King Iames his answer to Cardinall Perrone his speech in the Parliament of Paris did charge the said Cardinall with manifold falsifications of the holy Scriptures to proue the Popes power to depose Princes And that if the King were not answered the cause would be much scandalized The Iesuite answered mee that there was too much written already and that he must be answered another way I was afraid then to aske him any more fearing it might be another Powder-plot the rather because I heard Master Smith my old Lady Kneuets Priest affirme that he had heard a zealous Catholicke say when he first heard how the Powder-plot had missed that it was the onely way in the world that could haue beene deuised to haue rooted out the Protestants And now I am easily drawne to beleeue Father Floyd that they will answer no more with bookes or writings but with force and plots if as the Scripture saith Ex ore tuo te iudico a man may iudge according to their owne words specially if we consider how the secular Priests do charge the Iesuites with ambitious vsurping authority in the Church of Rome corrupting it with their treasonable doctrines as is euident in the said Priests bookes whereof I haue already giuen the Reader some taste And I thinke good here to adde more the rather because that the bookes are not easily to be had for that the Iesuites making vse of a rich Spanish Ladies purse for the buying vp and burning of hereticall bookes they tooke vp as many as they could of these Priests books which they counted worst
