has Prohibited them to be defended or published by any under the pain of Excommunication ipso facto and that to be reserved to the Holy Apostolick See Thursday the 2. of March 1679. In a General Congregation of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition held in the Apostolick Palace in the Vatican before our most H. Father Innocent by the Divine Providence the XI Pope and the Most Eminent and Most Reverend Lords the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church being specially deputed by the Holy Apostolick See to be the General Inquisitors for the whole Christian Common-wealth against all Heretical Pravity OUr said most Holy Father Pope Innocent the XI considering seriously the salvation of the Sheep committed to him by God and designing to prosecute that healthful work that was begun by his Predecessor Alexander the 7th of happy Memory of separating the hurtful Pastures of evil Doctrines from those that are not so has gathered many Propositions partly out of Books Theses or other Writings partly out of some late Innovations and appointed them to be examined by several Divines and has since laid them before the Most Eminent and Most Reverend Cardinals who are the General Inquisitors against Heretical Pravity Which Propositions having been diligently exactly and frequently discussed and the Opinions of the said most Eminent Cardinals and Divines having been heard by his Holiness the said most Holy Father having maturely considered the Matter has at present appointed and decreed that the following Propositions and every one of them as they are set down shall be damned and prohibited as being at least scandalous and pernicious in practice like as he does hereby damn and prohibit them His Holiness not intending by the Decree to approve in any manner other Propositions that are not here expressed that either have been or shall be hereafter presented to him 1. IT is not unlawfull in the Administration of the Sacraments to follow a Probable Opinion concerning the Validity of the Sacraments rather than one that is more safe unless that the forbidden by a Law Agreement or the hazard of some great Damage Hence it follows that an Opinion only probable is not to be followed in the conferring of Baptism or of Priestly or Episcopal Orders 2. I think it Probable that a Judg may give sentence according to an Opinion that is less Probable 3. Generally when we do any thing trusting to the Probability of it whether it be Intrinsecal Which is grounded on Reason or Extrinsecal that is grounded on Authority were it ever so small so we do not go beyond the bounds of probability we act always prudently 4. An Infidel that will not believe trusting to an Opinion that is less probable shall be thereby excused from his Infidelity 5. We dare not condemn a man of Mortal sin that never had any act of love to God but one in his whole life 6. It is probable that the Precept of loving God does not oblige rigorously and of it self no not once every fifth year 7. It only then obliges us when we are bound to put our selves in a state of Justification and have no other way left us by which we can do it 8. It is no sin to eat and drink to satiety only for pleasure so that it does not prejudice our health for the natural appetite may lawfully enjoy its proper acts 9. The use of Marriage only for pleasure is free of all fault and even of a venial defect 10. We are not bound to love our Neighbour by an internal formal act 11. We obey the Command of loving our Neighbour by external acts only 12. It is hard to find among secular persons even Kings an abundance so there is scarce any body bound to give Alms if one is only obliged to give out of their abundance 13. One may without Moral sin be troubled for the life of another so he does it with due moderation and one may rejoyce at the natural death of another and desire and wish it with inefficacious desires so it be not out of dislike to the person but for some temporal advantage 14. It is lawful to desire the death of ones Father by an absolute desire so that it be not desired for the Fathers hurt but for his good that wishes it that he may thereby obtain a good Inheritance 15. It is lawful for a Son to rejoice for the Murder of his Father committed by himself when he was drunk for the great riches which may come to him by inheritance 16. Faith does not seem to come within any special or absolute Precept 17. It is enough to have one act of faith in our whole life 18. If one is examined by the Civil Power I advise him to confess the Faith Ingeniously as a thing both for the glory of God and of the Faith but if he is silent I do not condemn it as sinful of it self 19. It is not in the power of the will that the assent of Faith be more firm in it self than the weight of the reasons which inforce it does require 20. A man may prudently reject a supernatural assent which he had formerly 21. An Assent of Faith that is supernatural and profitable to salvation may consist with a probable knowledge of Revelation only Yea even with a fear by which one apprehends that God has not spoken it 22. The faith of one God seems only to be necessary by an indispensible necessity but the explicit belief that God is a rewarder seems not necessary 23. Faith in its large sense only from the evidence of the Creation or some such motive is sufficient for Justification 24. To call God a witness to a lie in a light matter is not so great an irreverence that he either will or can damn a man for it 25. If a man have cause for it whether it be small or great he may lawfully swear without an intention of swearing 26. A man either alone or before others may either ☜ when he is asked or of his own accord or for his diversion or any other end swear that he did not do a thing which he really did having a secret meaning either of some other thing which he did not do or of another way of doing it or of any other truth which he adds to it in which case he is in truth neither a liar nor is he perjured 27. A just cause of using those secret meanings is as oft ☜ as it is necessary or profitable for the preservation of life or honour or saving ones goods or for any other act of vertue so that the concealment of truth seems in that case expedient or desirable 28. He that is promoted to a Magistracy or Publick Office either by the means of some recommendation or present may with a mental reservation take the Oath which Kings usually require not regarding the intention of him that exacts it because he is not bound to confess a secret crime 29. A pressing and great fear is a
