is of it selfe damnable 20 I reade in your bookes That he is more capable of holy Orders among you who hath kept two Whores then he who hath married a widdow or two wiues And if this be thus may we not say with your glosse Nota mirabile quod plus habit luxuria quam castitas Obserue a strange thing Whoredome hath greater priuiledge then Chastitie 21 I haue heard it credibly reported That your BB. may absolue from any sinne committed against the Law of God but not from euery trespasse against the Papal Sea Now if the report be true I desire to know why he should be denied the lesser to whom the greater is granted And why you should be angry at vs if wee say that according to your opinion Trespasses against the Pope are more hainous then trespasses against God 22 I haue heard it credibly reported That the Iewes are licensed to haue Synagogues at Rome where Protestants cannot be allowed to haue a Chappell Now if this report be true also I would gladly know of you why the Iewes should haue such fauour aboue the Protestants seeing the Iewes raile blasphemously on Christ Iesus of whom the Protestants neuer spake nor thought euill but alwaies honourably 23. But to come neerer you Sir Priest I am told That your Priests take this oath Ego N. sacram scripturam iuxta eum sensum que tenuit tenet sanct a mater Eeclesia cuius est iudicare de vero sensu interpretatione sacrarum scripturam admitto nec eam vnquam nisi iuxta vnanimem consensum patrum accipiam interpretabor that is I such a one doe take the holy Scriptures in that sense which my holy mother the Church whose dutie it is to iudge which is the true sense of Scripture hath taken it and takes it in neither will I euer take it in other sense then such as the Fathers giue thereof with ioynt consent Now if you doe so I would gladly know how you can cleere your selues from periurie seeing it is plaine you sometimes take and expound Scripture in that sense which neuer father gaue of them as for example Micah 7. ver 8. 9. which you alleadge for Purgatorie For no Father did euer so expound it Sometimes you take and expound them in that sense which is contrarie to some Fathers as when you expound the words in the 24. of the Prouerbs ver 16. of falling into sinne which Austen saith is not so For Non de iniquitatibus sed de Tribulationibus loquitur saith Austin Sometimes you take and expound them in that sense which is contrarie to all the Fathers which we finde to haue interpreted them as when you take Christs words which he spake of one Shepheard to be meant of your u Pope and not of Christ himselfe For the Fathers say that by that one Shepheard Christ meant himselfe 24. Againe Sir Priest I am informed that your famous B. Simancha writes thus Hereticis fides à priuato data seruanda non est-nec fides à magistratibus data seruanda est haereticis faith made to an hereticke by a priuate man is not to be kept-neither is that Faith which is made to an hereticke by Magistrates to be kept Though I haue seene a booke of yours wherin this is vtterly denied yet I am credibly informed it is very true Yea I am informed that your Pope Martin the 5. writ to Alexander Duke of Lituania thus Scito te mortalitater peccare si seruabis fidem datam haereticis Know thou sinnest mortally if thou keepe thy oath with heretikes Now if this bee thus I would gladly know you holding Protestants for heretikes why you should look that any Protestant should trust you further vpon your oathes then he would trust a dog with a shoulder of Mutton 25 They say you teach haereticum esse priuatum dominio naturali Ciuili Politico That an heretike is depriued of all his iurisdiction whether Naturall Ciuil or Politike and omni debito obligationis et obsequii freed from al debt due by bond or seruice in so much that the children and seruants and subiects of heretikes owe no dutie to their Parents Ministers or Princes that good wiues need not lie with their husbands That such as are indebted need not pay their debts to their Creditors That keepers of Forts or Towns may surrender them into the enemies hands And if this bee your doctrine can you bee angry If Protestant Princes and their Subiects who haue wiues and children and seruants and mony in other mēs hands do wish you al vltra Garamantas Indos 26 You teach Sir Priest That the Word of God is partly written partly vnwritten And the written word you call Scripture the vnwritten Tradition Yet you vndertake to proue diuers of your opinions both by the Scripture and by Tradition as for example Praying to Saints Praying for the dead setting vp of Images in Churches worshipping of Images set vp c. Now I would know with what honestie you can alleadge Scripture for that which you say is a tradition or tradition for that which you say you haue Scripture Can one and the same thing bee written and not written 27 You brag much of the Church as though it were yours onely and not ours You tell vs that infallibilitas verbi dei ex Ecclesiae testimonio pendet The infallibilitie of the word of God depends vpon the Churches testimonie that the Church is Iudex omnium controuersiarum Iudge of al controuersies And yet when we vrge you to deale plainely with vs and to tell vs what you meane by the Church you 3 answere Per Ecclesiam intelligimus Pontificem Romanū by the Church we meane the Pope of Rome Now is not this a iest 28 You tell vs that Clemens 8. was called by Gabriel Patriarke of Alexandria tertius-decimus Apostolorum gloriosi domini nostri Iesu Christi et quintus SS Euangelistarum the 13. Apostle of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ and the 5. Euangelist and your 6 Cardinall Baronius approues of the Patriarks intitling of your Pope so Now I would know if Clemens the 8. deserued to be called the 13. Apostle and the 5. Euangelist why the other Clements and especially Clemens the first yea and all the rest of your Popes may not be thought to haue been Apostles and Euangelists 29 They say you burne Incense to your Images And if that be so I would know why you should not bee held Idolaters seeing to burne Incense to a thing hath been held as much as to offer sacrifice vnto the thing And sacrificing vnto any thing but God onely hath been alwaies reputed Idolatry 30 I haue seene a prayer of yours Sir Priest which as the Rubrick saith was shewed vnto S. Austen by reuelation of the holy Ghost and of which you giue out that who beareth it about them shall not perish in fire nor
