Christian men then that which the holy Ghost this day spake in you Wee beseech O Emperour wee offer not to fight wee feare not to die wee intreat your clemency Oh it was seemely for Christian souldiers to desire the tranquility of peace and faith and to bee constant in truth even unto death Thus farre Ambrose Saint Augustine relateth the same of the Christian souldiers under Iulian the Apo●tate-Emperour Iulianus extitit Imperator infidelis Iulian was an unbeleeving Emperour was hee not an Apostata an Oppressour and an Idolater Christian souldiers served that unbeleeving Emperour When they came to the cause of Christ they would acknowledge no Lord but him that was in Heaven when they were commanded to adore Idoles and to offer sacrifice they preferred God before their Prince But when hee called upon them to warre and bad them invade any nation they presently obeyed They did distinguish their eternall Lord from the temporall King yet they submitted themselves to their temporall Lord August in Psal 124. for his sake that was their eternall King So farre hee Optatus Milevitanus is another pregnant witnesse Cum super Imperatorem nemo sit nisi solus Deus Seing there is no man above the Emperour beside God alone which made the Emperour De schism Donatist l. 3. Donatus by advancing himselfe above the Emperour doth exceed the bounds of humanity and makeeh himselfe a God rather then man in that hee feareth and reverenceth him not whom all men should honour next after God So farre Optatus Saint Cyril is of the same judgement Com. in Evang Ioh l. 12. c. 36. Cuilegis prevaricatores liberare licet nisi legis ipsius authori Who can acquit them that breake the law from transgression beside the Law-giver as wee see by experience in all humane states no man can without danger breake the law but Kings themselves in whom the crime of prevarication hath no place For it was wisely said of one that it is a wicked presumption to say to a King Thou doest amisse So farre hee And also Saint Chrysostome In 1. epist ad Timoth. c. 2 v. 1. What meaneth the Apostle saith hee to require prayers and supplications inter cessions and thansgiving to bee made for all men hee requireth this to bee done in the dayly service of the Church and the perpetuall rite of Divine religion For all the faithfull doe know in what manner prayers are powred out before the Lord morning and evening for all the world even for Kings and every man in authority Some man will peradventure say that for all must bee understood of all the faithfull Which cannot bee the Apostles meaning as may appeare by the words following viz. for Kings seeing that Kings neither did then nor in many ages after serve the living God but continued obstinately in infidelity which by course of succession they had received Thus farre Chrysostome Our Moderne Reformers teach us that which Paul and Chrysostome neither knew nor beleeved See the preface before Basilic Dor. that wicked Princes are not to bee prayed for but to be resisted c. When the faction of Eutiches had prevailed against the Catholikes Leo the first had no other remedy then prayers to God sighes teares and Petitions to the Emperour Epist 24. ad Theod. Imper. Omnes partium nostrarum Ecclesiae c. All the Churches of these parts all wee Priests even with sighs and teares beseech your Majesty to command a generall Synod to bee held in Italy that all offences being removed there may remaine neither errour in faith nor division in love Favour the Catholiques grant liberty to protect the faith against Heretiques defend the state of the Church from ruine that Christ his right hand may support your Empire Thus farre Leo. When Gregory the great was accused for the Murther of a Bishop in prison hee wrote to one Sabinianus to cleare him to the Emperour and Empresse Epist lib. 7. epist 1. Breviter suggeras serenissimis Dominis meis You may briefly enforme my soveraigne Lord and Lady that if I their servant would have busied my selfe with the death of the Lombards that nation would by this time have had neither Kings nor Dukes nor Earles and should have beene in great confusion and division but because I stood in aw of God I was ever afraid to meddle with the shedding of any mans bloud so farre Gregory These Lombards were Pagans Invaders of the Countrey Ransackers of the City Persecutours of the Saints Robbers of the Church Oppressours of the poore whom Gregory the first might and would not destroy Quia Deum timuit because hee feared God It is very like that his Successour Gregory the seventh feared either God nor man when hee erected the Papall Croisier against the regall scepter and read the sentence of deprivation against the Emperour Henry Ego authoritate Apostelica c. I by my power Apostolicall doe bereave Henry of the Germane Kingdome and doe deprive him of all subjection of Christian men absolving all men from the allegiance which they have sworne unto him And that Rodolph whom the Peeres of the Empire have elected may governe the Kingdome I grant all men that shall serve him against the Emperour Carol. Sigon de Regno Ital. lib. 9. in vita Hen. 3. forgivenesse of their sinnes in this life and in the life to come As I have for his pride dejected Henry from the Royall dignity so I doe exalt Rodolph for his humility to that place of authority Thus farre Gregory the seaventh It is no wonder Benno Card. in vit Gregor 7. that Gregory his chaire clave asunder as some Writers affirme at the giving of this sentence because the proud Pope and his wicked sentence were too heavy a burthen for Peters stoole of humility to beare The fourth Chapter proveth the Immunity of Kings by the Fathers of the third 300. yeares AFter the death of Gregory the great which was about the yeare of our Lord 604. Sabinianus did succeed him who lived but one yeare after whom came Boniface the third which obtained of Phocas to bee called Vniversall Bishop since that time Periit virtus Imperatorum pietas Pontificum the Emperours waxed weake and the Bishops wicked What the judgement of those Fathers then was concerning subjection to wicked Kings I will make evident by the testimony of Gregorius Turonensis Isidorus Damascenus Beda Fulgentius Leo 4. and the Fathers assembled in a Councell at Toledo in Spaine Gregory Turonensis acknowledgeth such an absolute power in Childerick a most wicked King of France as was free from all controll of man Histor l. 5. c. 1. Si quis de nobis Rex justitiae limites transcendere vol●erit c. If any one of us O King doe passe the bounds of justice you have power to correct him but if you exceed your limit who shall chastice you Wee may speake unto you if you list not to hearken who can condemne you

Henr. 4. quo supra an ancient a modest and an impartiall Relatour of such occurrents as happened in his time declareth his dislike of the Popes practises and the Germanes tumults against their said soveraigne Lord. Magnum Mundo documentum datum est A great instruction was given to the World that no man should rise against his Master For the hand of Rodolph being cut off shewed a most just punishment of perjury hee feared not to violete his fidelity sworne to the King and his right hand was punished as if other wounds had not beene sufficient to bring him to his death that by the plague of the rebellious the fault of rebellion might bee perceived Thus farre hee The sixth Chapter proveth the same by the testimony of the Writers from the 12. hundred yeares downeward I Will for conclusion produce Otho Frinsingensis Thomas Aquinas Gratianus Philip the faire King of France the Parliament of England in the time of Edward the first Vincentius and Aeneas Silvius that afterward was Pope by the name of Pius secundus Otho Frising in his Epistle Dedicatory before his Chronicle Otho Frisingensis hath an excellent saying in his Epistle Dedicatory to Frederick Barbarossa Cum nulla persona mundialis inveniatur quae mundi legibus non subjaceat c. Although no earthly man can bee found that is not subject to the Lawes of the World and in respect of subjection liable to correction Kings as it were placed over Lawes are not restrained by them but reserved to the examination of God according to the words of the King and Prophet Against thee onely have I sinned It becommeth therefore a King both in respect of the noble disposition of his mind Psal 51.5 and the spirituall illumination of his soule to have God the King of Kings and Lord of Lords ever in his mind and by all meanes possible to take heed that hee fall not into the hands of God seeing it is as the Apostle saith a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the living God It is more fearefull for Kings then for any other because Kings have none but God himselfe above them whom they need feare It shall bee so much more horrible for them by how much they may offend more freely then other men So farre Otho Thomas Aquinas if the Tractate De regimine Principum bee his maketh three sorts of Kings Aquin. de regimine Princ. lib. 1. cap. 6. Kings by election Kings by subordination and Kings by succession For the first hee saith that they which did establish may abolish for the second wee must have our recourse to him that did surrogate the subordinate King as the Iewes did to Caesar against Herod for the last his resolution is Recurrendum esse ad omnium Regem Deum that wee must flie to God the King of all Kings in whose onely power it is to mollifie the cruell heart of a Tyrant And that men may obtaine this at the hands of God they must cease from sinne for wicked Princes by Divine permission are exalted to punish the sinnes of the people Tollenda est igitur culpa ut cessat Tyrannorum plaga Wee must therefore remove our sinnes that God may take away his punishment Thus farre Thomas Gratianus which compiled the decrees is very peremptory that the Bishop of Rome ought not to meddle with the temporall sword the state of Common-wealths or the change of Princes Hee saith nothing indeed De Regni ordinibus which in his time and a 100. yeares after him never dreamed of any such authority Cum Petrus qui primus Apostolorum à Domino fuerat electus materialem gladium exerceret When Peter whom the Lord had first chosen of all the Apostles drew the materiall sword to defend his Master from the injuries of the Iewes hee was commanded to sheath his sword Math. 26.52 For all that take the sword shall perish by the sword As if Christ should have said Hitherto it was lawfull for thee a thine Ancestours to persecute Gods enemies with the temporall sword hereafter thou must put up that sword into his place and draw the sword of the Spirit Caus 23. quest 8. parag 1. which is the word of God to slay the old man whosoever beside the Prince and without his authority that hath lawfull power and as the Apostle teacheth Rom. 13.4 Beareth not the sword in vaine to whom every soule must bee subject whosoever I say without or beside the Princes authority beareth the sword shall perish by the sword Thus farre Gratian. About the yeare a 1300. beganne a quarrell betweene Boniface the eight and Philippus Pulcher the French King about the collation of benefices Prebends and other Ecclesiasticall promotions Whereupon the Pope wrote unto the said King as followeth Boniface Bishop the servant of Gods servants to his wel-beloved Sonne Philip by Gods grace King of France Greeting and blessing Apostolicall Feare God and keepe his law Wee give thee to understand that thou art subject to us both in spirituall things and temporall and that no gift of benefices or Prebends belongeth to thee If thou have in thy hand any vacant keepe the profits of them to the Successours and if thou hast bestowed any wee decree the collation void and recall it how farre soever it hath proceeded Whosoever beleeveth otherwise wee account him a foole Dated at Lateran the fourth of the Calends of December and in the sixth yeare of our Papacy King Philip returned his haughtinesse a correspondent answer viz. Philip by tho grace of God King of France to Boniface bearing himselfe for Pope Salutem modicam sive nullam Sciat tua maxima fatuitas Little health or none at all Philip. Pulcher Let thy great fooleship know that in temporall things wee are subject to no man And that the gifts of Prebends and Ecclesiasticall promotions made and to bee made by us were and shall bee lawfull both in time past and in time to come For such collations belong to us in the right of our Crowne wherefore wee will manfully defend the Possessours of the said dignities and doe judge them that thinke otherwise fooles and mad men Given at Paris the Wednesday after Candlemasse 1301. Questionlesse this King that did so scornefully reject the Popes chalenge pretended from Christ would little regard the claime of the Nobles derived but from the people The same busie Boniface of whom some write that hee came in like a Fox craftely raigned like a Lyon cruelly and died like a Dogge miserably would take upon him the decision of a controversie betweene the Kings of England and Scotland and commanded King Edward of England either to cease his claime or to send his Procuratours to the Apostolike sea to shew his right and to receive such order from the Pope as justice and equity would require The Lords and Commons then assembled in Parliament at Lincolne sent Boniface this answer in the Kings behalfe Whereas our most dread
