12 By your doctrine he sinneth not who hath probable reason for that which he doth For Non peccat is qui probabiliter licere id existimat quod agit saith a Iesuite And by your doctrine he hath probable reason for that which he doth who hath the opinion of two or three yea of one graue Author For in foro conscientiae ad effectum non peccandi sufficit eligere pro vera eius opinionem quem merito cense●●us essevir●m ideneum ad id scientia conscientis saith N●●arrus Now doth it not herehence follow that he who hath the opinion of Iohn Mariana touching the lawfulnesse of poysoning Kings may poyson Kings without sinne He that hath the opinion of him who made the book touching the lawfulnesse of Aequiuocation may equiuocate without sinne He that hath the opinion of Binetus the Iesuite touching the necessitie of concealing Confession may conceale without sinne whatsoeuer is confessed though that concealing cost all the Kings in Christendome yea in the world their liues What villanie approued by any of your Writers or Diuines may not lawfully be practised though thousands be of another opinion according to this your doctrine 13 You teach that the word of God is partly written partly vnwritten And the written word you call Scripture the vnwritten Tradition yet you vndertake to proue diuers of your opinions both by Scripture and by Tradition As for example Praying to Saints praying for the dead setting vp of Images in Churches and worshipping them when they are set vp Christs descention into hell the Virgine Maries perpetuall virginitie c. Now I would know with what honestie you can alledge Scripture for that which you say is a tradition or tradition for that which you say you haue Scriptures Can one and the same truth be written and not written 14 You teach that it was not meete all m●steries should be written in Scripture lest euery ordinarie person should come to the knowledge of them and because of the commonnesse of them contemne them Now I desire to know why the mysteries of the Trinitie should be written in Scripture rather then those mysteries you speake of if there be such danger that ordinarie persons should attaine to the knowledge of whatsoeuer is written in Scripture and vpon their knowledge of them should contemne them Secondly I desire to know why it should be lesse meete that the mysteries you speake of should be written in Scripture then in the Fathers and in your Catechismes Ordinarie persons are as like to come to the knowledge of them by reading if not the Fathers yet of your Catechismes wherein you discourse of them at large as if they were written in Scripture Are they not thinke you 15 Men say you teach that Licet praceptum praelati sit irrationale pro tali merito quandoque haberi potest tenetur tamen subditus illud obseruare Though the commandement of the superiour be vnreasonable and may well enough be thought so yet the inferiour is bound to obey it Men say you teach Si Papa erraret pracipiend● vitia vel prohibendo virtutes teneretur Ecclesia credere vitia esse bona virtutes malas nis●vellet contra conscientiam peccare that if the Pope should erre in commanding vice and forbidding vertue the Church was bound to beleeue vnlesse she would sinne against her conscience that vice was commendable and vertue dispraisable Men are bound Papae sententiam exequi to put the Popes sentence in execution albeit they know it to be vniust Any man illaesae conscientia with a good conscience may execute the Popes vnlawfull mandate by your learning Now I pray you how agrees this doctrine with that of the Apostles Act 5. 29. It is better to obey God then man 16 Sir Priest I reade in your bookes that your Pope is called Caput t●tius Ecclesiae Pater Ecclesiae Fillius Ecclesiae Sponsus Ecclesiae Mater Ecclesia The head of the whole Church the Father of the Church the sonne of the Church the Spouse of the Church the Church our mother Now I would know of you how he can be the Church her selfe and yet head of the Church and the Churches husband how can he be Father to the Church and and yet a sonne of the Church how without committing incest the father may marrie his daughter the brother may marrie his sister the sonne may marrie his mother 17 I reade in your bookes that your Pope is nor onely called the Vicar of Christ and Successor of S. Peter but d S. Peters Vicar and Christs Successor in respect of the gouernment of the Church Now here I desire to know two things of you first how your Pope comes to be S. Peters Vicar seeing S. Peter himselfe is but a Vicar and it is a rule in your Law Vicarius non potest substituere Vicarium A Vicar cannot substitute a Vicar Secondly how without blasphemie your Pope can be called Christs Successor seeing he to whom another succeedeth in office doth cease himselfe to bea●e that office as Felix did cease to be gouernour in Iurie when Festus came in place to be his successor I hope you do not thinke that Christ who endureth for euer hath turned ouer all care of his Church to your Pope 18 I reade in your bookes that in the yeare 1552. your Pope was intituled by a certaine Patriark called Siud The Peter of our time and the Paul of our dayes and that Clemens the eight was intituled by one Gabriel Patriarke of Alexandria Tertius detimus Apostolorum gloriosi Domini nostri Iesu Christi quintus sanctorum Euangelistarum The thirteenth Apostle of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ and the fift Euangelist And that Genebrard approued of the titles which Siud gaue and Baronius of those which Gabriel gaue Now I desire to know of you why Genebrard should like that any Pope should be called the Peter of our time seeing Sergius the fourth being christened Peter vpon his election to be Pope in reuerence to S. Peter renounced the name of Peter and tooke the name of Sergius and secondly how Clemens the 8. can with any wisedome be held the thirteenth Apostle of our Sauiour Christ and the fifth Euangelist considering there were seuen Popes of his owne name and vpon the point of 230 Popes of other names before him For I cannot heare that he was such an A perse as that he deserued these titles rather then any of his predecessors And if all or any of his predecessors deserued to be called Apostles and Euangelists Gabriel in my opinion failed in his Arithmeticke when he termed him the thirteenth Apostle and the fifth Euangelist 19 I reade in your bookes that the iurisdiction of your Pope is boundlesse I His dominion as Christs Psal 72. 8. is from sea to sea and from the riuer vnto the ends of
