Great within few yeeres after about anno 607. Boniface 3. obtained that title with much suite and bribery of Phocas an adulterer and murtherer of his master that Christian Emperour Mauritius with his wife and children But succeeding Popes for the credit of that dignitie being belike ashamed of such an institution pretended to hold the same by the Donation of Constantine the first Christian Emperour So that al this while there was no cōueyance of that authority from Peter that yet came to light At last the Pope being come to the height of his pride thought it a scorne to be beholden to Constantine or any of them all and therefore laid hold vpon those words of Christ Thou art Peter c. But what hold he hath by them is partly shewed before and is further to be considered In that the Popes champion father Bellarmine made a Cardinall for his deserts doth confesse that this Vniuersal Bishopricke is descended to the Pope by a conueyance indeed but not of the word but of tradition Thus you may discouer the sūdry groūds of an article of the Popish creed viz. That the Pope hath Apostolicall authoritie ouer the whole Church as he is Peters successor 17 Leauing these doubts touching the pretended successors of Peter and commending them to the aduised examination of the Reader I proceed briefly to proue in more speciall manner the Church of Rome not to haue been an apparant member of the Catholike Church euer since the Apostles time I say Briefely For if I should demonstrate as I could the many grosse errors of the Church both in doctrine and discipline vnder which word I vnderstand the administration of the Sacraments and the Liturgie and if withall I should paint out the bloodie tyrannie thereof in persecuting the children of God it would appeare more than manifest that it is and hath bin long an apparant member not of the Catholique but of the malignant Church But then I should be longer than I may by reason of necessary busines or need considering so many bookes are written of those Arguments I will therefore only propound some few things of many concerning the Pope whom the Papists make the head of the Catholike Church So that as a member of a mans body is but dead if it receiue no life from the naturall head so a particular Church is in their opinion no apparant member of the Catholique Church which is not vnder the iurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome From hence it followeth That if the head be dead the body must needs be dead and if the Pope be not the Church of Rome cannot be an apparant member of the Catholique Church But the Pope is not Ergo. 18 The Pope is Antichrist and hath been so long therefore the Church of Rome is not and for a long time hath not been an apparant member of the Catholique Church For as his See is the seat of Reuel 17. 9. 18. the whore of Babylon to wit the Citie builded vpon 7. hilles namely Rome so he hath the properties of Antichrist For he sitteth in the Temple as God In charging 2. Thess 2. 4 the conscience as strictly with his decrees and traditions as with the Word of God from whence the other haue no warrant and In auouching himselfe to be free from error which is proper to God 2. He exalteth himselfe aboue all that is Rom. 13. 4. 2. Thess 2. 4. called God In esteeming himselfe as far aboue the Emperour who must hold his stirrup on whose necke he must tread as the Sunne is aboue the Moone and Rom. 13. 1. therefore hee will not bee subiect to any Magistrate contrary to the expresse word of God 3. He is an aduersary to Christ 2. Thess 2. 4. howsoeuer he pretend to be his Vicar but 1. Ioh. 2. 22. therefore Antichrist in deed seeing this word Antichrist signifieth For Christ and yet Against Christ I say an aduersary not only In teaching Iustification by workes to the preiudice of Christs death for if Gal. 2. 21. Righteousnes be by the Law Christ died in vaine but also In teaching that by Christ we are freed from the guiltines of sinne but not from the punishment therof and yet the Popes pardons and the breaden God of his owne creation can do as much good to soules frying in Purgatory as to all that pay well for them 1. Tim. 4. 1. 3. while they liue on the earth 4. He teacheth doctrines of diuels forbidding to marry and commāding to abstaine from meates which God hath created to be receiued with thankes-giuing of thē which beleeue and know the truth And 5. Hee 1. Ioh. 4. 3. denieth Christ to be come in the flesh In affirming Christ his body to be by transubstātiation in so many places as where Masse is said As the Anabaptists likewise deny Christ to be come in the flesh In affirming Christ to haue brought his flesh from heauen 19 Againe Sith the Pope as supposed head is of the essence and forme of the Church of Rome it must necessarily follow that the Church of Rome hath not been alwaies an apparant member of the Catholike Church according to the sense of the Papists themselues if it can be proued that often somtimes many yeeres together there hath been no apparant Pope But that is not impossible to bee proued For first it is to be noted with a memorandum That by the speciall prouidence of God Pope Ioan was deliuered of a child as she was going solemnly on procession in the middest of the open street and in the presence of the people As if God had said from heauen Behold the Whore of Babylon Secondly It is worthy the obseruation That Stephen 6. and Sergius the third proceeded against Formosus as against an vnlawfull Pope both taking him out of the graue spitefully disgraded him The former summoning a Councel attired him with the pontificall robes plucked them off againe put on Lay-mans apparell cut off the two fingers of his right hand cast them into Tiber buried him in Lay-mens buriall and disanulled his decrees The other set him in the Popes chaire drew him thence againe cut off his head and the other three fingers hurled body and al into the riuer recondemned all his actes so that it was needful to admit them new to orders whom hee had made Priests Thirdly It is not to be neglected as not worth the reading That sixe Popes viz. Clement 5. Iohn 23. Benedict 12. Clement 6. Innocent 6. and Vrban 5. their See was 70. yeers together at Auignion in France Where Popes were elected liued and died so that some of them neuer saw Rome This I say is not to bee neglected For if Iohn the Patriarch of Constātinople claimed the title of Vniuersal Bishop because the Emperours had then their seat there howsoeuer they then bare the title of Emperours of Rome If Peter were therefore the Bishop of Rome because he had his feat
