A92961	Seven arguments plainly proving that papists are trayterous subjects to all true christian princes. With a touch of Iesuites treacheries.		1641 (1641)	Wing S2735; Thomason E156_1; ESTC R19995	7,100	15

Kingdome and subjects be brought unto so that their blind worship and pageant of Papistry may be erected can be no good subjects But perfect Papists neither regard Majestie of the Prince nor dignitie of the Nobles nor gravitie of age nor difference of sexe nor excellency of learning so that Popery may be set up in stead of the Gospell Therefore such can be no good subjects Wofull experience The desperate dealings and damnable practises of Papists heretofore prove plainly that allegiance to their Prince cannot keepe them from treason the dutie of love to their naturall Countrey cannot withdraw them from favouring rebellion at home nor lincking with strangers abroad that the dutie of obedience of children to parents or of parents affection to children cannot keepe them from unnaturall crueltie that the dutie of mutuall love and societie betwixt the husband and wife cannot remove them from monstrous immanitie that the dutie of kinde and naturall pittie cannot stay a Papists hands from murdering feeble sexe tender babes or reverent age lastly that the dutie of familiaritie in youth of friendship in graver yeares of continuall societie during all the life passed cannot stay a Papists hands from sacrificing his dearest friends Nay which is more not onely are they contented to yeeld their bracelets and carerings to the framing of the golden calfe as did Israell nor to offer their friends in sacrifice as did that unnaturall King of Moab in offering his sons to asswage the ire of his angry Gods but to make their owne lives a prey to their enemies as did the Athenians when they accorded by casting of lots to give themselves to be devoured of that gastly monster Minotaurus Wherefore since it is so cleare a case that the consciences of these Catholikes are altogether Romish that they hold the Popes Excommunication against our dread Soveraigne the Kings Majestie to be lawfull that they yeeld their obedience no longer then durante beneplacito of the Pope that they receive and commend such libels as deface our Church abuse his Highnesse person and all his loving subjects that they receive pardons to exempt themselves from dutifull obedience that they receive and entertaine the enemies of this Realme Jesuits and seminarie Priests that they looke for a golden day and long for an alteration that they care not to conspire at home with traytours and to plot abroad with strangers whereby to convey the crowne to a forrainer subence I say this is so then two conclusions doe follow First that every perfect Papist is a secret traytour to his Prince and Countrey Our land cannot be at ease so long as these lye on her stomacke They pricke and wound her sides not with praying against her for their imprecations wee hope are irrita vota but with preying upon her and when all stratagems faile ready to fetch arguments from the shambles and conclude in ferio Whose Religion is politicke learning bloudy affections malicious ambitious divellish The Inquisition is their Grammar fire and fagot their Rhetoricke fleet and fetters their Logicke the Cannons roare their Musicke and poysoning is their Physicke Whose Priests have such almightie power that they can make their Maker that whereas in their Sacrament of Order as they tearme it GOD makes an impotent creature a Priest now in their Sacrament of the Altar the Priest shall make Almightie God Yea as he made them with a word and put them in their mothers wombe so they can make him with a word and put him in a box They that thus blaspheme their Creator shall wee trust them with their fellow-creature It was an ingenuous answer of a Spanish Noble man commanded by Charles the fist 10 lodge the Duke of Bourbon at his house in Madrid I will obey thee but set my house on fire so soone as the Duke is our of it My Predecessors never built it to harbour Traytors Did he thinke that a conspirator would poyson his house and shall we thinke that such are no infection to our Land David did counterfeit himselfe madde when he was not for his owne securitie these are madde and dissemble it till by one franticke act they can bring us all to ruine If they were forraine publike and profest enemies we would not blame not feare them While Kingdomes stand in hostilitie hostile actions are just But these are domesticall intestine secret adversaries bred and fed in the same Countrey therefore the more intolerable as the more pernicious Tut they can satisfie their consciences by distinguishing of Treasons Indeed all their Religion is a religion of distinctions such as that is that an excommunicate Prince may be dethroned and being once uncrowned may on his penitent submissiō be restored to the Church Quoad animam non quoad rognum Thus they leave positive textuall schoole divinitie and fall to Crowne-divinitie Antichrist pleads their Religion is maintain'd by the Fathers Did ever any Father allow of Treason Shame they not to averre it If any abused wrested falsified writing of the Fathers did seeme to consent to their errors yet wee know that Audiendi Patres non ut Judices sed ut restes The Fathers be heard as witnesses not as Judges It is Gods Scriptum est not their traditum est that must give decision of all doubts And secondarily that it is a safer way to trusse than to trust a two-legged Fox Our gracions God that hath hitherto protected us blesse his Majestie and the nigh Court of Parliament that through their wisedomes zeale and courage Gods glory may be promoted the undermining of these Foxes which destroy our Vines soundly sifted and secret traytours sharply punished Then shall England lesse feare her ruine which GOD forbid by strangers force when vengeance deserved shall strongly sease on houshold foes nay els may England more suspect the weakning of her present state by nourishing a Viper in her owne bowels than Popish power or any els who gnash their teeth at her peace and well-fare Thus holding Popery to be an hotch-potch of new Religion coyned in the mints of the Babylonish whore who contendeth to advance her Kingdome above the Kingdome of Christ by all meanes that themselves or hell it selfe can invent by crueltie by blood by deceit by abusing the word of God by equivocation by what not yea ●●ee hath so taught 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Priests and Jesuites and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by them seduced to sweare and forsweare to promise and protest by whatsoever can be named although they have no purpose to make good any of their vowes in this kinde as that they have almost left no meanes whereby a man may be assured of anothers intentions although he vow it never so seeming setiously Call to minde the great and serious protestations that Warson the Priest made in his Quodlibeticall questions That albeit he differed in Religion from that which was professed in the Church of England yet if either Pope or Spaniard should seeke by hostile meanes to invade his Countrey he would
