vncapable thereof namely because it is grounded vpon matters of fact which hapned long since the time when those proofes had their last period Secondly as it is vncapable of diuine proofe so also is it vncapable of the better kind of humane proofe namely that kinde of proofe which is by operation of iudgement matters of fact hauing only Sense and eye-witnesse to beare them out Thirdly wheras other matters of fact are ordinarily prooued with two or three witnesses at the most this proposition must haue no lesse lesse then two or three hundred euery seuerall Successour whereof there haue beene aboue an hundred needing no lesse then two witnesses a Register being a double witnesse to auouch the canonicall validitie of his choice To these exceptions we might adde how sundry times and waies the Succession from the first Pope to the now present hath beene interrupted As first for that the Papacie diuers times by the space of an whole yeare and sometimes seauen yeares hath beene vnsupplyed secondly that diuers times againe no lesse then thirty seuerall times there haue beene two or three Popes at once thirdly for that diuers times the Successour hath contraryed the Predecessour and that so mortally as that the dead corps of the Predecessour hath capitally been proceeded against Fourthly for that diuers haue beene elected and installed incompetently indirectly fraudulently violently in which cases the so elected are by the Locall Decrees pronounced Apostaticall and not Apostolicall Fiftly for that diuers haue supplyed the place which in their liues were most vile Licencious Monstrous Homicidious Incestuous Scismaticall Hereticall Magicall and Diabolicall in so much as a Writer of their owne Nation hath not spared to say that the goodnesse of a Pope is commended when it exceedes not the wickednesse of other men And finally for that their doctrine hath continually beene protested against especially this last hundred yeares and that maugre all kind of torturings murtherings and massacrings that could bee deuised These kind of allegatiōs though we might insist vpon against the tenour of this pretended Succession yet because it cannot be done but by the aide of humane writers which for that they bee subiect both to errour falsifications when we haue done neuer so much it will not be of force to either satisfie or conuince the conscience which is the only thing wee aime at To say therefore no more then we meane to make the conscience a Iudge of and yet as much as conditionally particulars not being capable of any other but conditionall demonstrations shall fasten vpon the Conscience thus wee pronounce that if at any time since first the Papacie began any of the Popes did euer inioyne vpon Capitall penaltie blasphemous or Idolatrus Doctrine or to make our instance more speciall if they did euer at any time capitally inioyne either the worshipping of any kinde of Image or the bowing downe thereto or that men should attribute more reuerence vnto any kinde of Image whether of God or man Christ or his Crosse so supposed to be then vnto the meanest member of Christ vpon the face of the earth yea the vilest man that is hauing a deeper Character and impression of God then the colourings caruings or works of any mortall man whatsoeuer or finally if euer they did capitally inioyne that men should esteeme that to be the very true and proper person or manhood of Christ which before the speaking afew words they cōfesse was no better then Bakers bread In any of these cases wee pronounce and challenge their Successiō to be extinguished as vtterly dead as euer Corps was whē the soul was departed And that euery such Successor was no better the Successour of Peter then darkenes is the Successour of the light death the Successour of life and Antichrist the Successor of Iesus Christ But admit none of these Doctrines were euer taught in that Chaire from the first to the last which that is might bee true no doubt all that euer writ or reported to the contrary would gladly be found lyars yet will not the maine conclusion follow therevpon vpon vnlesse all the former Linkes of the Chaine bee firme and inviolable which if Christian Reader you find farre otherwise then iudge how it concernes you to beware how you venter the waight of your saluation thereupon least as the people of Israel leaning on the Staffe of Egypt did find it to bee but Reed so you bearing your selfe vpon this Chaine doo in the end when it is too late find it to bee made of Rushes and while out of an hope to bee thereby haled vp to Heauen you suffer your selfe to bee hoysted out of that protection which God hath lent you vpon earth you fall in the mid-way without recouery Which Iudgement God of his goodnesse keepe you and me from and so Christian Reader commending these my paines vnto your seruice in the Lord in him I leaue you FINIS 1 Psalme ●● 2 Esay ● 3 Esay 49. 4 Psal 45. 5 Psal 5. 6 Esay 45.13 7 Psal 90 1● 6 Psal
