Greece Also among other the Ecclesiastical aunswers of the Pat●iarkes of Constantinople is to bee seene this of Germanus to the Bishop of Ara who enquired how he was to proceed against a maiden that had bene blessed and corrupted before her ripe age also against the Priest that had ministred these ceremonies Whereto aunswer was made that the maid should be seperate and the Priest put from his charge 5 As in trueth in all well ordered Commonwealthes there haue euermore bene established a certaine age for the conioyning and mariage of the Citizens of the same because as saith Ful●entius the lawe of mariage is by the will of God ordeined f●r hauing of issue it is meete that it be contracted at lawfull age So as by the pollicie of some Citties it was considered that the tyme of generation doth for the most part by nature ende in the man at the 70. and in the woman at the fiftie yeere Aristotle is of opiniō that after that age mariage is not to be permitted Whereto seemeth to agree that which is found in the establishment of the Romaines Among whom those Citizens were not iudged to haue satisfied the lawe Iulia which was made for mariages who to the ende not to be subiect to the penalties limitted in detestation of vowed chastitie did contract matrimonie the man after sixtie yeres or the woman after fiftie For Iustinian also writeth that some accompted it almost a wonder in nature to see a woman with childe after she were fiftie yeres of age And it seemed such marriages were contracted not so much in hope of begetting children into the Commō-wealth as in respect of some wealth or other perticuler commoditie that the one hoped for of the other by which reazon wee reade that Antigonus perswaded his sonne Demetrius to marrie an old woman named Philla vsing the authoritie of Euripides which he altered to his purpose and in liew that the verse said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he sayd 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to the ende the sence might importe that for some benefite hee should not differ the mariage of a wife though of a contrary age As on the other side also ouermuch youth was neuer accoumpted meete for the coniunction of mariage because therein generation cannot bee but lame and vtterly vnperfect the mother in greater daunger at her childbirth the father more vndiscreete in the coniunction and so the more hindered from atteining to that perfection and force which Nature reserueth to their bodies wherevpon the auncients imagined that the Idoll of Apollo gaue the Trezenians warning when he had them beware of casting their seede ouer hastely vpon the fieldes of their countrey 6 Finally concerning this present argument although the sayd Lady Iane of Albret had offended in marying with the late Antonie of Bourbon Duke of Vendosme because she had beene afore married to the Duke of Cleue yet were that no let why the King of Nauarre now raigning should not bee borne of the lawfull mariage of the sayd Antony of Bourbon his father who doing amisse that vpon simplicitie vnder the authoritie and in the face of the Church with publicke credite did solemnize the said mariage in which cace there is no doubt but the Childrē of a putatiue mariage as say the Canonistes are legitimate because in a doubtfull cace sentēce must passe in fauour of the marriage and of the children borne in the same the question depēding vpō the simple meaning conscience of him that meaneth to marrie a wife for by the lawes and decrees of the Church opinion hath the vpperhand of trueth so as by the common resolution it is enough for the legitimation of children that either the one or the other of the cōtracters ment good faith in that coniunction beleeuing it to be a thing lawful for him Thus doe you briefly see how children borne of such mariages are legitimate In our cace wee haue moreouer aduowed that the pretended marriage of Lady Iane of Albret mother to the now raigning King of Nauarre was voyd and of no effect and for such by all reason iustly broken and disanulled by the iudgement of the Church with whose authoritie the sayd Lady Iane was permitted to marie where she pleased which was not done without president For wee reade in the auncient Chronickles that for the like cause the Emperour Ottho the fourth was diuorsed from Margaret Daughter to the Duke of Brabant Lewes Daulphin of Viennois sonne to King Charles y e sixt a litle before he dyed vsed as some say the like pretence to returne Catherin daughter to y e Duke of Bourgondy home again In later tyme King Charles the eight of Fraunce in the yeere 1480. was by his father Lewes the eleuenth before hee was foreteene yeeres old affianced by words present and so by indissoluble marriage vnto Margaret of Austrich daughter to the Emperour Maximilian who being then but two yeeres olde was conueyed into Fraunce and there brought vp for the space of ten whole yeeres after the which they were neuerthelesse diuorced by a dispensation from Pope Innocent the eight who also for the like reason dispensed with Lady Anne of Brittaine and gaue her leaue to marrie where she pleased notwithstāding during her minoritie her father Francis Duke of Brittaine had matched her with the Emperour Maximilian by proxye had celebrated the sayd mariage Nicholas Duke of Lorrain while his father Duke Iohn liued did in the yeere 1460. by present words affiance Lady Iane of France daughter to King Lewes the eleuenth and yet comming to the age of foreteene yeeres he did through the Popes dispensatiō betroth Lady Mary of Bourgondy Daughter to Charles the last Duke of Bourgondy whom he was going to marrie when death euen during the preparatiues of the solemnitie of the mariage preuented him So the manifolde decrees and iudgements passed in like matters doe manifest vnto vs the exceeding malice of the enemies of the sayd Lord King of Nauarre 7 Their seconde obiection importeth that the sayd Lorde King of Nauarre is an Hereticke and therefore vnworthy to succeede in the Realme of Fraunce whose Kings are intituled most Christian in respect of the oath that they take at their sacring in the hands of the Archbishop of Rheimes which is that to their powers they shall defende the Catholicke Religion and faith which the sayd Lord King of Nauarre cannot doe as professing an opinion already condemned by the Church and so consequently can not pretend aught in the sayd Crowne neither may the subiects thereof obeye him according to the decree of the generall Counsaile holden at Roome vnder Innocent the third about the yeere 1215. repeated out of the auncient constitutions of Theodosius the yonger Valentinian the 3. and Martian all most Catholicke Princes vpon the confirmation of the general Counsailes of Ephesus and Chalcedon and afterward recited by Iustinian the first in the fifth Counsaile of

prouoked vnder pretence of the sayd interdiction did him some displeasure Howbeit so soone as hee seemed willing to mend his maners toward the English natiō they fell at his feete and expulsed Lewes of Fraunce whom they had subrogated in his place so soone as the sayd Iohn was dead admitted his sonne Henry King Henry the eight of the same Ile was very faithfully obeyed by his subiects after that Pope Paule the third had excommunicated interdicted aggrauated and reaggrauated the curse against him wherby some were somewhat shaken frō his obediēce Su●noo King of Denmarke about the yeere of our Lord 850. was iustly excōmunicated by y ● Bishop of Roscholech for becomming an Apostata and procuring to slay sundry of the Princes of his blood in the Church founded in the name of the holy Trinitie in the same Towne of Rhoscholech the entry into which Church this Bishop forbad him together with the communiō of the faithfull but he did not neuerthelesse depriue him of his Crowne neither did his subiects refuse him their faithfull seruice although Canutus and Wademarus two of his chiefest fauorites and priuy Counsailors who sought to share the Realme with Suercherus King of Sueden did thereto suborne them Brigerus King of Sueden who raigned about the yere 1300. was one of the most wicked and cruell Kings that could be especially against the Church and Churchmen but chiefly against Nicholas Archbishop of Vpsale whom together with the rest of his Bishops he committed to prison wherevpon they excommunicated him and Turgillus Canutus his Lieutenant general and author of his behauiours neuerthelesse the people though therby stirred vp against their King and hauing greater opportunitie to rebel and shake of the yoke of his obedience vnder the conduct of Wademarus and Henry his brothers who sought no better occasion to put out their brother would neuer hearken to thē neither hinder or become cruell to their naturall Lord so as the two brothers were forced to employe their other friendes for the executing of their intēts against Brigerus whom when they had taken prisoner they were neuerthelesse compelled to force al the townes neither found they any one that would yeeld to them so greatly did the Subiectes of the Realme accoumpt themselues bound to the seruice of their King whom they knew to be wicked excommunicate and an euill liuer besides a prisoner and captiue in the power of his brethren whom in the ende they forced to set him at libertie to submit themselues to his obedience Of such force is the bond of good people to their King whatsoeuer he be In Poland Boles●aus a Prince of most wicked life a commō adulterer an enemie to the Church and Cleargie after Stanis●aus Bishop of Cracouy had often admonished him to amend was by him at length excommunicated whereat the King being offended did put the sayd Bishop to death for which cause Pope Gregory the seuenth did confirme and aggrauate the sayd excommunication with a generall interdiction against the Realme about the yeere 1079. yet did he still raigne by the consent and with the obedience of the Polonians ouer whom he ruled a whole yere and more vntill in his iourney to Ladislaus King of Hungary hee flewe himselfe peraduenture through the iust iudgement of God The Emperour Sigismund and his faction could neuer winne the Bohemians from the due affection that they ought to his brother Winceslaus their naturall King though vicious wicked filthy for the which offences through the practises of the said Sigismund he was often emprisoned and excommunicated by the Bishops of that coūtrey yea by the Electors deposed from the Empire so as in the ende he dyed in Boheme still taking the place order and qualitie Royall through the goodwill of his Subiects who deemed that the same could not perticulerly conteyne any dispensation to discharge the subiects therof of the oath and faith that to him they ought as also they may not be discharged frō his bondage but onely by death or his owne liberall cession which he would make to an other as did Albert King of Sueden about the yeere 1388. beeing prisoner to Margaret Queene of Denmark and Norway to whom he yeelded whatsoeuer his right to the Crowne of Gothland and Sueden whereby the States of the countrey sware their faith and homage to the sayde Margaret and after they had secretly enquired of their King sundry times solemnly desired him to shew them his mind or els to discharge them of the duetie wherein they stood bound to him although vndoubtedly the Suedens had great cause to seeke his mishap for all Histories doe agree that neuer Prince committed so many outrages and wrought so many iniuries to his subiects as had this Albert. It therefore remaineth that by the lawe of Nations the inuiolable keeping of the obligation that the subiectes doe owe to their naturall Prince and not to depart therefro at the appetite or sentence of others haue euen among the most barbarous people bene euermore obserued so as wee ought in respect of the bonde that wee owe him say of the King and his bloud as of Matrimonie whom God hath ioyned together let no man put a sunder 22 But let vs more perticulerly learne whether the sentence of excommunication were lawfully vppon reasonable cause and exemplary occasion pronounced against a King and done by the iudgements of many Popes of Roome within these fiue hundred yeeres against such Kings and Emperours to whō they haue borne bad minds Although I thinke it not meete to ground any lawe vpon the examples of these men in troth full fraught with ambition more then humaine affection but it is requisite to examine this question by the rules of Gods lawe and politicke reason established for the preseruation of the societie of mankinde Herein therefore I say y t the sentence of excōmunicatiō denoūced against a King how iust soeuer the cause bee and conteyneth dispensation for the oath and duetie that the subiects do owe vnto him this licence and tolleration vnto the people graunted is repugnant to the lawe of God and all mans reason For sith the subiects are by Gods commandement bound to obeye their Princes whatsoeuer without any further enquirie of their consciences and behauiours they cannot by any tradition or permission of man either generall or perticuler be dispensed with because no man can enterprize vpon Gods ordenances and euery dispensation so graunted is voyde as beeing repugnant to the deuine prouidence As Pope Leo and Vrban haue very wisely confessed Especially sith this dispensation cannot bee put in execution without great sclaunder and shedding of bloud by reason of such warres and quarels as will be raysed through the rebellion of the Subiects against their Prince their Kings resistance not onely in respect of his conscience but also for his Estate and the defence of his Crowne In such necessities therefore Pope Gelasius teacheth vs that we are especially
