ambitiō he so deceiued that holy man hauing perswaded him to leaue this dignitie hauing taken and put him into the tower of Fumon constrayned him to dye therein before his time And we must not omit by silence that which Nauclerus saith which is that in Anno 1295. the seat being vacant as the Florentine historye declareth Cardinall Benet was in great care for the Papacie not staying till he was called therunto Note like Aaron wherevpon it hapned that one night he went not with any great traine to the Pallace of King Charles promising him all ayde that the Church could giue if by his meanes he might be made Pope whereupon the King perswaded by this hope found the meanes that the Cardinals his friendes elected him Pope Behold the holy man of whome Clement the eight is successor so the supposts and vpholders of the Papacie haue a most firme argument to maintaine and defend their vocation which is the succession of such men To make an end of this matter I will adde that which Platina setteth downe of the gouernment and end of this Boniface or rather Maliface this man saith he dyed when that is like a dogge he sought to procure terror and feare among Emperors Kings Princes nations and people rather then to plant true Religion that vsed all meanes he could to giue and take away kingdomes to banish and after that to recall men againe when it pleased him being without all measure puffed vp with the great treasure by him gotten from all places Let vs now returne vnto our Iubile which the Pope commaundeth at the end of 100. yeeres although saith he some others haue restrained it vnto a shorter number of yeares as Clement the sixt that caused it to be celebrated 50. yeares after but hee did it the easilyer to fill his Coffers And it is to be noted that this said Pope the better to make himselfe to be knowne to bee Antichrist in the Bull by him sent foorth for the same effecte commaunded the Angels to draw out of Purgatory the soules of all those that dyed in the way to Rome But howe can Clement the eyght prooue that this custome at the end of euery 100. yeares to celebrate this holy Iubile is Diuine and that rather in the Citty of Rome then else where What vertue hath this number of 100. more then any other What charity is there so long a time to deferre so great a benefit as this Iubile bringeth Clement the sixt had more reason in appearance in abreuiating the time from 50. to 50. yeares according to that of the Iewes The number of 7. multiplyed in it selfe inclusiuely comprehending 49 signifiyng perfection in the holy Scriptures But yet neuerthelesse the vse of that Iubile of the Iewes did wholy cease at the comming of Iesus Christ and we finde not that any other hath been established for the Christians in a certaine number of yeeres As wee read that Baptisme succeeded Circumeision the holy Sacrament the Paschal Lambe And as this holy Father can not prooue that but onely because it is his pleasure and that his will ought be holden for a decree of the Celestiall Court So can he much lesse prooue that such a thing ought to bee done in Rome by him called the Fortresse and house of christian religion As many words as in that place he setteth down are so many blasphemies that the towne most giuen ouer vnto all the villanies that euer were which also by S. Ierom in his time In the pref vpon Didimus is called the seate of the whore apparelled in purple vestures the Citty wherein al things are permitted where vertue is banished the towne wherin all sacred things yea God himselfe if it were possible are to be solde But what speake I of sacred thinges All things prophane defiled and vncleane are to be bought by him that offereth most money The Citty wherin the Cardinals by the Pope termed his reuerend bretheren leade a life more then Sardanapalike for that they are not ashamed to walke with their Concubines throughout the Citty in the open view and sight of all the people Sodomy is therein tollerable approoued and maintained that such a towne I say ought to be called the Fortresse and house of religion but according to the saying of Petrarke the house of dolour the Schoole of error and the temple of herresie But to what end is this Iubile ordained to reiterate and renue saith Clement the eyght the memory of so great a benefit that is that Iesus Christ the Son of Iustice he that brought saluation to all the world is borne of the Virgin Mary c. Now you shall see how this is done if we ought to referre it to any certaine place of celebration it were fitter to bee done in Bethlehem where Iesus Christ according to the flesh was borne then in Rome but wee haue not any commandement neyther for this place nor for any other But as expresse commandement was giuen vnto the Apostles to Preach the Gospell throughout all the world so is it that throughout all the world wee must celebrate the memory of the Sonne of God without distinction of this or that place The Lord is with those that are assembled in his name according to his will The holy Sacrament was ordained by him to the end that wee should celebrate it in memory of him not onely because that hee was borne but also that he suffered death and passion for the remission of our sinnes and rose againe for our iustification And we must not attend a 100. 50. or 25. yeares but we must doe it as often as we may not at Rome from whence the Gospell yea and Iesus Christ himselfe is banished but in all places where the Doctrine of the Gospell is purely Preached the holy Sacraments administred according to the ordinance of our Soueraigne Pastor and Master our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ The Pope calleth himselfe the successor of the Apostles where doe wee finde that the Apostles did establish any certaine seate whereunto they haue enioyned vs to resort as to the stone of faith But to the contrary they themselues went Preached throughout all the world they themselues went to seeke the sheep and stayed not till the sheep came to finde them S. Peter himselfe preached vnto the Iewes and S. Paul vnto the Gentils Now that S. Peter erected his seate in Rome there is no apparance thereof the booke of the Actes of the Apostles and the Epistles of S. Paul both that which hee wrote vnto the Romaines and that which he sent out of prison in Rome doe sufficiently ouerthrow and disprooue all these impostures that would affirme the contrary for in any of them there is not any mention made of S. Peter And as touching that which the Munke Onuphrius saith that S. Peter did first erect his seate in Rome for the space of nine yeares and that he was driuen away among other Iewes by the
