A08196	Iohn Niccols pilgrimage whrein [sic] is displaied the liues of the proude popes, ambitious cardinals, lecherous bishops, fat bellied monkes, and hypocriticall Iesuites.	Nicholls, John, 1555-1584?	1581 (1581)	STC 18534; ESTC S113251	106,007	296

man sonne to a Duke borne in Germanie differing from the Papistes in religion and disagréeing with their doctrine So soone as the Pope had heard these wordes being moued with furious indignation hée cried vnto the Cardinall burne him burne him but the Cardinall béeing more mercifull then the Pope desired his gracelesse Antichristian Maiesty to commaunde the young noble youth to appeare before him and so hée did When the young Noble man came before his presence hée did prostrate him selfe at the Popes féete at whom the Pope began so to raile and so to threaten him that the Noble man ouercome with his threatenings of death was readie to beléeue whatsoeuer hée woulde haue him beléeue and so with his grimme countenance and threatning words hée peruerted this Noble young man to the religion of perpetuall destruction Trisander Surely this man was more bitter then prudent and more gréedie of vndeserued subiection then carefull ouer the life of true Christians Fie vpon such a proude persecutor from such Tirants libera nos Domine But father it was tolde mée that hée was a great Coniurer or Nigromancer Panteleon And in very déede as I suppose thou hast hearde nothing but the truth in that For surely at Rome it is reported that hée did those thinges which no man coulde haue doone vnlesse he had béen skilfull in Nicromancie Hée foretolde of the victorie of the Venetians and Dun de Austria ouer the Turkes Hée came also vp on a certaine time out of his studie and tolde them of the victorie that were then in his presence Nowe quoth hée the Turkes are vanquished and slaine These wordes hée might foretell by Nigromancie as I suppose and not otherwise For hée had not the gift of Prophesie being a Tyrant and an open persecutor of the truth This Pius Quintus was so welbeloued of his seruants that some of his Chamberlaines had besméered his Crucifix with poyson so that when he came to pray and approched to kisse the Crucifix it ranne away when he saw the Crucifix remoouing it selfe after that maner he créeped néerer but the more hée créeped the farther the Crucifix remooued This thing I thinke was doone by the Art of Nigromancie but it was one of the myracles of his Grandfather Satan But the Romans report him to haue béene familiar with God and that hée very myraculously preserued hun alwayes and caused the stones to certifie him of any iminent dangers This man of sinne was so bent to the heauenly treasures that hée cared not for worldly riches for hée gaue all his goods to the poore made them Noble men and Gentlemen but they were suche poore as were his kinsmen some of them Cozins and Nephewes to speake plainely his bastardes Trisa Of this Pope Pius Quintus I also good father haue hearde muche Was it not hée I pray you sir that first excommunicated our gracious Quéene ELIZABETH Pante It was euen hée but shée neuer prospered better nor this Realme did neuer florishe more then since it was by him excommunicated therefore for his cursing wée passe not neither doe we regarde the thundering Bulles of excommunication of his successours Trisander It is so as you say that the Popes curse can doe vs no hurte but can you tell me father whether they are chosen Popes by the meanes of their vertue learning and wisedome or by the meanes of briberie golde and siluer Panteleon I haue tolde thée my sonne that in the Popedome there is no vertue and therfore it is the more lightly to be regarded Learned they must néedes bée not in Scriptures for that they defie them but in the Ciuile Canon lawes that they may know what is their owne Iure illicito may pleade for that which is not their owne Iure Pontificiali Wisdome is requisite in a Pope whereby he may knowe golde from siluer gemmes and precious stones frō common stones which bée in the stréetes Hée must haue wisedome to counte them wisedome to locke them vp in his treasure house hée cannot bée without wisedome to picke out the best golde from the badde to giue to his waiting gentlewomen at bed and boorde Hée must moreouer haue wisedome to prouide for his bastardely children which hée begot whiles hee was a soule Priest to the Putanne in the Burdello or whilest hée saide Masse elswhere for money to supplie the necessitie of any sober Curtezane and defloured Virgin Such learning and wisedome as before is recited euery Pope muste haue and euery Gentleman Bribery large giftes and greate promises must helpe him to that Papall dignitie or els hée shall go without it as most commonly it falleth out vnlesse perhaps some poore Cardinall be made Pope and compoundeth with the colledge of Cardinals that the Papall reuenewes bée equally parted amongst them all of the Colledge of Cardinals Trisander But what if a man had plentie of money then peraduenture hée might bée made Pope and rule the roste at his pleasure Panteleon If a man had money as thou saiest great plenty he should quickly bée made Pope of Rome as it saide of Iohn the xviii a Grecian borne who obtained the place by briberie sedition and hurly burly This man brought so much money to Rome with him from Constantinople as that hée was able therewithall to drawe and tempt vnto him aswell the wise and wary as the simple sort to bée of his faction whereby hée corrupted Crestentius the Consul violently to abuse Pope Gregory and to driue him out being a Germane and so purchased the Popedome and the sequell thereof But of those thinges that hée and his traine set to sale in his Popeship Mantuan writeth thus Pernices mercatur equos vaenalia Romae Tēpla Sacerdotes Altaria Sacra Coronae Iohn the xiii being the sonne of Albericus the sonne to Maozia obtained to be pope partly by the briberie and partly by the threatning of his father Albericus being Prince Before the Emperour Otho in an open Synode it was laide to his charge as Lutherandus writeth in his sixt booke that hée neuer saide Mattins that incelebrating the Masse he himselfe had not communicated that hée made Deacons in his stable among his Horses that hée had committed incest with two harlots being his owne sisters that hée played at Dice prayed to the Diuell to send him good luck the for money he admitted boy as to bée Bishops that he had rauished virgins and strange women that hée had made the holy pallance of Lateran a Stewes Brothelhouse that hée had defloured Stephana his Fathers Concubine and one Rainera a Widdow beside one Anna another Widdowe and her Néece that hée had put out the eyes of Benedict his Ghostly father that hee vsed common hauntes that hée ware armour and set houses on fire that hee brast open dores windowes by might that hée tooke a cup of wine and drunke to the Diuell and neuer blessed him selfe with the signe of the Crosse These and many more odious Articles were laid to
