A42315 The old Roman Catholik, as at first he was taught by Paul, in opposition to the new Roman Catholick, as of latter he is taught by the Pope the one being apostolicall, the other apostaticall : derived and proven only out of the Epistle of Paul to the Romanes : whereunto is added a clear probation that the same also was the doctrine of the primitive bishops of Rome ... discovering to all clearly the apostasie of that church from the ancient Roman fayth and puritie thereof to the noveltie of gross heresie and idolatrie, and sufficient to convince, if not convert, any papist that is not wilfully obdured / by W. Guild. Guild, William, 1586-1657. 1649 (1649) Wing G2210; ESTC R30326 38,314 116

That the Scripture is playn in all things necessarie to Salvation And therefore is to be read by the people IN which poynt thus sayeth Gregorie Scriptura quasi quidam fluvius est planus altus in quo ag●us ambulet ●liphas natet That is The Scripture is as it were a river both eb and deep wherein a Lamb may wade and an Elephant swim Which thing moved also Augustine to say In these places sayeth hee which are clearly set down in Scripture are all these things to bee found which contayn both Fayth and Manners Lib. 2. de doctrina Christiana cap. 9. And agayn For reading of Scripture sayeth Gregorie Quid est autem scriptura sacra nisi Epistola Omnipotentis DEI ad creaturum suam That is What is the Holy Scripture then but the Epistle of the Omnipotent GOD sent vnto His creature Whence it followeth That therefore His creature should reade the same CHAP. IJ. Of the Church And 1. That the Rock spoken of MATH 16. 18. whereon CHRIST sayeth Hee will build His Church and the Popes would build their Infallibilitie is not Peter nor his successours but CHRIST only FOR thus sayeth Gregorie Ipse enim est Petra à qua Petrus nomen accepit super quam se aedificaturum Ecclesiam dixit That is For Hee Himselff is that Rock from which Peter receaved his name and vpon which hee sayd that hee would build his Church And agayn In sacriloquio sayeth hee quando in singulari numero fundamentum dicitur nullus alius nisi CHRISTUS designatur That is In Holie Scripture when in the singular number a foundation is spoken of none other is thereby to be vnderstood but CHRIST alone 2. That the True Catholick Church spoken of in the Belieff and that can not erre fundamentally totally is only the Elect And so no one particular visible Church only as Rome WHereanent sayth Gregorie Christus itaque cum tota sua Ecclesia sive quae adhuc versatur in terris sive quae ●um co regnat in coelis vna persona est sicut est vna anima quae diversa corporis membr● virificat ita totam simul Ecclesiam vnus Spiritus Sanctus vegetat illustrat That is CHRIST therefore with His whole Church whether it bee that part thereof that is on earth or that part which raygneth with Him in the Heavens is but one person and as it is but one soull that quickeneth the diverss members of the bodie Even so it is but one Holy Spirit which quickeneth and illuminateth the whole Church And a little after De hoc spiritu non vivit haereticus non vivit schismaticus That is And by this spirit neither doeth the Heretick nor Schismatick liue And agayn Intra has mensuras sunt omnes electi extra has sunt omnes reprobi etiamsi intra fidei limitem esse videantur That is Within these bounds are all the Elect and within the same are all the reprobate albeit they seem to be within the limits of believers 3. That no man on earth is Universal Bishop of the Catholick Church as the Pope claymeth nor anywyse Head thereof NO man battereth more this loftie Babell of Papall Supremacie more than Gregorie For 1. Hee calleth this name of Universall Bishop in it selff which the Patriarch of Constantinople would haue vsurped Novum prophanum vocabulum contra statuta Evangelica Canonum Decreta Lib. 4. Epist. 32. That is A new and prophane style agaynst the Precepts of the Gospell and Canons of Councells Also Superbum vocabulum A prowd tytle and a perverss Epist. 34. Lykewyse Diabolica praesumptio A divelish presumption Epist. 36. nomen blasphemiae Epist. 32. And a name of Blasphemie according to that of Revel. 17. 3. And last Scelestum vocabulum A most wicked tytle and a playn Departure from the Fayth For so hee sayeth Epist. 39. In isto enim scelesto vocaebulo consentire nihil aliud est quam fidem perdere That is To consent to this most wicked style is no other thing than to lose the Fayth 2. Hee showeth That none who was ever Bishops of Rome his Predecessours would haue any such style And 1. Peter Neminem-se vnquam vniversalem vocare voluit sayeth hee Epist. 38. That is Hee would not haue any ever to call him Universall And thereafter Nullus vnquam predecessorum meorum hoc tam prophano vocabulo vti consensit Epist. 36. That is None ever of my predecessours would consent to vse so prophane a title * And for his own practise when Eulegius Bishop of Alexandria had given him this style in a letter he sayeth Ecce in Praefatione Epistolae quam ad meipsum qui prohibui direxistis superbae appellationis verbum vniversalem me Papam dicentes imprimere curastis quod pet● dulcissima vestra sanctitas mihi vltra non faciat quia vobis substrahitur quod alteri plus quam ratio exigit prebetur And there after Recedant ergo verba quae vanitat inflant charitatem vulnerant Lib. 7. Epist. 30. That is Behold sayeth hee in the Preface of a Letter which yee directed to mee yee caused put in a prowd Title calling mee Universall Bishop or Pope which I did forbid and which I beseech your sweetest Holiness that you doe no more any such thing because that is withdrawn from you vnjustlie which agaynst right reason is given to any other Away then with such words that bloweth vp men with Vanitie and woundeth Charitie 3. Hee setteth down the reasons why such a prowd style should not be vsurped by any 1. Universa ergo Ecclesia quod absit à statu suo corruet quando is qui vocatur vniversalis cadet Lib. 4. Epist. 32. That is For then the vniversall Church sayeth hee should fall which GOD forbid when he falleth in heresie who is Universall Bishop thereof 2. Hee showeth That this were to imitate Lucifer who fell through Pryde saying Quis enim in hoc tam perverso vocabulo nisi ille ad imitandum proponitur qui despectis Angelorum legionibus secum socialiter constitutis ad culmen conatus est singularitatis erumpere vt nulli subesse solus omnibus preesse videretur Epist. 38. That is For who is set before our eyes for imitation in vsurping so prophane or wicked a Tytle but hee who despysing the legions of Angels who in one consociation were joyned with him would so aspyre to the hight of singularitie as hee would bee subject to none and would bee aboue all others himself alone as the Popes since avow in their Decretalls ‡ Last of all hee showeth that this Antichristian style and vsurpation thereof by Iohn Patriarch of Constātinople did design no other thing but that Antichrist was even at hand and that hee who did vsurp the same was his verie Fore-runner For thus hee sayeth Sed
thus sayeth GREGORIE Quando non maneret apud eos qui ascensurus erat coelum promitit dicens Ecce ero vobiscum vsque ad consummationem soeculi sed Vcrbum incarnatum manet recedit recedit corpore manet divinitaete apud eos ergo tunc se mansisse perhibet quia qui invisibili semper potestate presens erat corporali jam visione recedebat That is When Hee was not to abyde with them who was to ascend to Heaven Hee promised saying Behold I am with you vnto the worldes end But this incarnate Word Hee both abydeth with vs and is departed from vs Hee is departed in His Bodie but Hee abydeth in His Deitie Hee sayd therefore that Hee should abyde with them Because by His invisible power Hee was ever present who in His corporall presence was to depart out of their sight As also That the Bread in the Sacrament of the Supper remayneth still in its former substance after Consecration POPE GELASIUS clearly doth testtifie saying Certè Sacramenta quae sumimus Corporis Sanguinis CHRISTI divina res est propter quod divinae per eundem efficimur consortes naturae tamen esse non desinit substantia vel natura Panis Vini c. That is Surelie the Sacrament of CHRISTS Bodie and Blood which wee take is a Divine thing Because wee are made partakers there-in of the Divine Nature And yet not-with-standing The Substance or Nature of Bread and Wyne departeth not or leaveth not off to remayn CHAP. X. Agaynst with-holding of the Cup from the People or Half-Communion CONCERNING this thus sayeth GREGORIE Quid sit Sanguis Agni non jam audiendo sed bibendo didicistis And agayn Ejus Sanguis non jam in manus fidelium sed in ora fidelium infunditur That is What the Blood of the Lamb is yee haue learned now not by hearing there-of but by Drinking the same And this His Blood is not given into the handes of the Faythfull Communicants but it is Powred in into their mouthes Also thus sayeth POPE IULIUS Ubi Apostolus corpus sanguinem commendavit seorsim Panis seorsim Calicis commendatio memoratur Last of all sayeth POPE GELASIUS Comperimus quod quidam sumpta tantummodo corporis sacri portione à Calice Sacri cruoris abstineant qui proculdubio quoniam nescio qua superstitione docentur obstringi aut integra Sacramenta percipiant aut ab integris arceantur quia divisio vnius ejusdemque mysterii sine grandi sacrilegio non potest provenire That is sayth IULIUS Where the Apostle recommendeth the Bodie and Blood of CHRIST to bee taken Hee mentioneth the taking of the Bread apart by it selff And the taking of the Cup in lyke manner apart by it selff not having known then Popish Concomitance Also wee fynd sayeth GELASIUS That there are some who take onlie a part of the Sacred Body of CHRIST but abstayneth from the Cup of His Sacred Blood who truelie because ● know not by what superstition they are bound vp and taught so Therefore they must either receaue the whole Sacrament or bee debarred from the whole Because the division of one and the same mystery can not bee without the commtiting of a great Sacriledge FINIS A TABLE Of the Controversies contained in this Treatise I.
