other was a home-bred man native of our owne parts unlearned but witty hee had beene in the Order of Priest-hood when hee dy'd 70. years they said hee was a Queen Mary Priest I came to him upon his dying-bed in November 1639. and did my best to bring him to a true beliefe and used to that effect obliging tearmes as I conceiu'd I earnestly desired him to make a sound Act of Contrition and confesse his sins penitently for reconciling himselfe to God I told him hee was not taken for an Heretick but for one that willfully went out of the Church and forsook his Master not for feare as Peeter did but to live with a woeman in Lust and Sacriledge and to injoy the pleasures and commodityes of the World notwithstanding all this I told him I would ingage my Soule under God for his Salvation if hee would then turne to God and true Faith with a true Repentance for his sinnes and have harty Contrition I pray'd him to think on the good theefe that lived wickedly untill his last Houre and yet when hee said even then with repentance and love Domine memento mei dum veneris in Regnum tuum hee heard that comfortable voyce of mercifull Iesus Hodie mecum eris in Paradiso I did all I was able to doe and wept bitter tears to see if I could gaine this Soule and peerce his stony hart but all in Vaine for hee gave mee noe good answer but very hard words and cal'd mee Hypocrit and what not his words did not trouble mee but the dispairing state of the mans Soule gave mee great Affliction of minde At length I told him in severe words that I would arise against him in the day of Iudgment to give Testimony of his rejecting Gods Grace offered him at that tyme for sauing his Soule what was the ende of my sincere Exhortation Prayers and Tears the man roaring out and speaking impious words turn'd his face to the Wale and even in that Instant lost his witts God knows with how sad a hart I parted from him one of his Daughters a Catholick that liu'd with him came to mee weeping and crying O Reverend Father what of my Father will hee come of I have seen him said shee often saying his Canonicall Houres and did use to hide his Breviary in a secret place I replyed your Father hath willfully violated his holy Vowes hee hath liu'd in Sinne and Sacriledge aboue 64. yeares hee hath deserted God and all Godliness and God hath I may well feare it abandoned him in this tyme of his departure out of the world The miserable man dyed within some Houres after sencless and this was his end Think well Sall if it is not your neare concern to consider seriously and deeply of the evill end of these two wicked Apostata's Secundum Punctum THis Author further said it was observed that Protestants who imbraced the Catholick Faith made change of lives and manners for the better that they mortify'd theire Bodys Fasted and Prayd were meek humble continent and charitable especially those that took Priest-hood became rare examples of Piety and all kind of Vertue and soe lived in the feare of God and in soe great Charity toward all men that Catholicks took great Joy and delight in theire Conversation and glorify'd God in theire Conversion and Protestants in theire change confessed they had cause of Admiration Tertium Punctum THe Author said alsoe hee had heard of some Protestants that dying demaunded a Catholick Priest to helpe them to dye in the Roman Catholick Faith But hee never understood of any that lived Catholicks who dying caled for a Protestant Minister to helpe them dye and make a happy end in the Protestant Religion Sall though you are a Learned man for such I take you to bee and haue read much and taught Diuinity for soe many years I doe not think you shall make any loss of tyme in pondering duly these three graue points and obseruations of this Protestant learned Author The seventh and last Advertisment OLIM POSSIDEO PRIOR POSSIDEO The Roman Catholicks strong defence against the Claime of all kinde of Hereticks and theire Attempts I Shall borrow much of what will be said in this Advertisment out of the Author of PROTESTANCY WITHOVT PRINCIPELS c. The strong Arguments of that learned man shall serve for a Wale and Ramper to this my little Treatise from men of my decaying age high and great things can not bee expected wee must then have them from our Neightours to him it will be some honour that I make use of his Learning and discourse and to mee noe kinde of disgrace both of us ayming at the same mark or Butt the pure Glory of God Quia ambo predicamus Christum Crucifixum Prime Cor. cap. 1. Nor have wee beene at any tyme esteemed by those that know us men gaping after winde and Vanity Now to my purpose 1 Before all I would have my Reader suppose as realy hee should that Luther and his Associats once Roman Catholicks separated themselves from the Communion of the ancient Church which gave them Baptisme about the year 1517. 2. It is as evident that the Protestants of England following Luther and his Sectaryes uphold still and stifly defend that actuall Separation as a Necessary Lawfull fact and well done 3. It is noe less cleare that as Luther when hee first began his Revolt from the Church stood all alone without joyning himselfe with any visible Society of Christians soe it is now as manifest that our Protestants to this day stand alsoe as a Solitary Society alone owning noe Fellowship Union or Communication of Liturgies Rites or Sacraments with any Church through the Universall World they forsake Catholicks they forsake Grecians Armeâ—ians Abyssins Arians Nestoriâ—ns Ruthemans Socinians and all the rest of Christians wherfore if euer Scisme was in the World or can be possibly conceived Protestants are most evidently guilty of a formall Separation from all other Christian Churches and consequently are formall Separators or in plaine tearms Scismaticks I pray did not Cromwell and his bands runn into a Rebellion why soe because with those that follow'd him hee shaked of all Obedience to the King and to the Lawes of the Land hee contemned the Goverment and made himselfe and his party a Body by themselves a Body apart and though hee gayned all the Cittys and Townes inslaved Free-men and acted the worst Treason Imaginable by putting to death his Leage-Lord and Soveraigne noe man for all this can affirme that this great power hee had and soe many years enjoy'd exempted him from of the Title of a Traytor actually in Rebellion Unlawfull power and violence cannot justify Rebellion and Treason This is our very case England all the World knowes once owned the Pope of Rome not only for the first Patriarch but alsoe supreme head of the Vniversall Church It admitted of this Churche's Discipline and Law and yielded Obedience to it It communicated

with the Roman Church as well in points of Faith as in the use of Rites Liturgy's and Sacraments yet for all this they have shaken of all Obedience to the Church of Rome and if this bee not a willfull formall Separation of theire part let any man judge And after all this they are soe bold and impudent as to say the Scisme Lyes of our part for having given them the Occasion of Separation but they doe not point out the time and errors they say crept into our Church Is not this a pleasant Jest first openly to Rebell and then without any other proofe but theire owne prooflesse word tacitly to suppose they had great Reason for theire Rebellion and to accuse soe vast a Society of ancient Christians as wee are and know not why to condemne us of Errors and know not wherfore and this before noe other Tribunall but themselves who were the Rebells This indeed savors soe strongly of sauciness and self-conceited pride that the very method held in the Condemnation makes all to look upon it as naught illegall and contemptible This kinde of Proceeding of Protestants makes it most evident that this actuall breach with Rome this Rupture this Rent this Rebellion this divorse from the ancient Church this formall Scisme let Protestants couer it with the smothest words they please is as cleare on theire side as the Sunne shining at noon-day like durt it lyes at theire doores and they will neuer be able to wype it away They say often and over and over that wee erred and gave them the Occasioâ— of Separation but prouing nothing nor shewing the cause wee have given of such Separation they say nothing doe they thinck theire Asserâ—â—on or saying that wee have erred can be proofâ— strong enough against us or any thing like a Satisfactory reason in this matter between us theire saying being noe received Principle Certainly the humour of Protestant Wâ—iters and Disputers is strange they chiefly abuse themselves in finding fault and carping at Catholick Religion whilst they speake least of that which most concerns them that is possitively to prove that Protestancy ought to bee owned as Christs true and Orthodox Religion this they wholy Wave and Protestants prove noâ— theire owne Religion the reason is because an â—mprobability cannot be proved For confirming what I say heare what the Author of PROTESTANCT WITHOVT PRINCIPLES c. speaks Pray you saith hee tell mee did you ever yet heare from a Protestant That Author pa. 430 431 any thing like a convincing Principle when hee goes about to prove two Sacraments and noe more or that Faith only Iustifyes without Charity or to bee brief that Protestancy ought to be valued of as the only Pure and Orthodox Religion of Christianity Noe these points they eyther pass over in silence or soe sleightly handle them that they seem afraid to meddle with such difficultyes what doe they therfore Theire whole straine is to finde fault This in the Papist Religion is not right that is not well proved a third thing pleaseth not here wee have a nouelty introduced there is a ceremony blamable c. then a Iere follows in handsom language and theire worke is done In the mean tyme the maine point in controversy which is to prove that Protestancy ought to be owned as a true and Orthodox Religion is noe more touched on then if it were not in being This same Author says else where I realy perceive a strange humor The Author pa. 320 321 in our Protestant writers You have theire Books t is true difficultys now and then hinted at words â—ultiply'd much talke in generall intricate discourses carryed in darkness and this to amuse a vulgar reader weak conjectures enough now drawne from this now from that Evidenced Authority Margents charged with Greek and Latin and they must bee thought learned Margents But after all you see the maine difficulty's waved you finde nothing proved nothing clearly reduced to any other owned Principle but theire owne proofless word and bare assertion in soe much as I am apt to beleeve if I think amiss God forgive mee all that Protestants ayme at in theire Polemicall writings is only to keep up talk in the world and Glory when they have the last word in a Controversy whether a prou'd word or noe it Imports not soe it may be proved they answer it Is it not a remarkable thing that Protestants notwithstanding they doe not nor cannot defend theire owne Religion and notwithstanding they are wilfull and wrongfull in their Separation from the Roman Church an open Scisme and notwithstanding a lawfull Succession in our Church from th' Apostles tymes and a quiet Possession of truth with it by Vertue of an immemoriall Tradition yet our Adversaryes the Protestants tell us the Obligation of proving lyes upon us of proving what for God-sake That our Possession is lawfull Quo Iure came they to question this they being Actors how come they to put the proofe upon us contrary to the Custome of all Benches of Justice contrary to that knowne Rule of the Law Actore nihil probante reus absoluitur If they would euer acknowledge any indifferent Iudge or umpier between us which they are neuer like to admitt of assuming to themselves the Office of Accuser wittness and Judge hee would compell them to the proofe wee are noe way bound therunto wee only stand upon our owne defence and garde wee only say OLIM POSSIDEO PRIOR POSSIDEO that irrefragable Rule of the Law is for us Qui prior est tempore Regula Iuris 24. in sexto prior est Iâ—re Ratio huius regulae est quod jus acquisitum alteri inuito auferri non potest That is The reason of that rule is that reason acquired to any one cannot bee
