his kingdome substituted Papin into his roome So Pope Hadrian saith as Arentinus reporteth Lib. 6. in Epist ad Archiepisc Trevicens Mogunt Coloniens From whence hath the Emperour his Empire vnlesse it be frō vs therefore he ruleth by vs. Againe whatsoeuer the Emp. hath he hath it wholly frō vs. Further behold the Empire is in our power to giue it to whōsoeuer we wil. Therefore are we appointed of God aboue nations kingdoms that we may destroy pull down build plant And thus say the Canonists that the Emp. is the Popes vassall and that hee hath the Empire of him in name of Homage The acts of the Bishops of Rome afford vs plentifull exāples who haue either proclaimed as deposed at their pleasure tūbled them frō their thrones or else crowned Emperors kings and princes So dealt Innocentius with Otho the 4 Emperour of that name Gregorie the 7 with Henry the 4. Paschalis the 2 with Henry the fift Hadrian the 4 and Alexander the 3 with Frederick the first Innocentius the 3 with Philip the son of Frederick Gregory the 9 with Frederick the 2 Innocentius the 4 with Conrad the 4 Alexander the 2 with W. king of Englād Boniface the 8 with Philip Pulcher the K. of France whom they did excommunicate either did depose or labored to depose them frō their Empire kingdoms And at this day Sixtus the 5 doeth depriue the king of Navar and prince of Condie of their kingdome prerogatiue all hope of successiō absolueth the subiects from the oth of allegiāce obediēce inciteth the French king to persecute them with violence fire and sworde So Leo the third created Charles the great Emperour hee annointed him and sate the diademe vpon his head so transferred the Empire vnto the Frenchmē frō the Grecians among whō it had cōtinued 500 yeres Iohn the ninth made three Emperours one after another gaue the Emperiall crown vnto Carolous Calons to Ludovicus Bulbus his sonne and to Charles the third sonne to Ludovicus Germanicus Iohn the thirteenth created Otto and Clement the fift created Henry Emperour called him Augustus But aboue all the acte of Gregorie is famous who tooke away the Empire from Henricus the Emperour gaue it to Rodolphus adding this verse Petra dedit Patro Petrus diadema Rodolpho This diademe the Rocke to Peter gaue And Peter graunts that Rodolph shall it haue The same Pope is an idolatour worshipping strange gods that is such a thing for God which is no God First in the bread of the Eucharist where Innocentius the fourth was the first who established transubstantiatiō the worship of that bread Honorious the 3 vouchsafed it a peculiar place where it should be set that the God of bread might haue a temple palace To conclude least any thing should be wanting vnto idolatrie Vrbanus the fourth Anno Christ 1263. appointed a feast vnto the body of Christ and the carying about of the Eucharist in procession and gaue verie large indulgences there withal Secondly in the calling vpon the saintes departed For he persecuteth the saintes whilest they liue on earth and killeth them whom being dead hee worshippeth in heauen Wherein he is like vnto hunters who do therefore hunt that they may kill and eate and eating doe commend the meate and are encouraged to follow their game againe And also he is like to eraftie and close marchants who whilest they are to buy dispraise that which afterward they do commend when they haue bought it according as it is said Prov. 20. 14. It is nought it is nought saith euery buyer Finally he is like to the Scribes and Pharises of whome mention is made Mat. 23. 29. 30. Thirdly in the worship of images and monuments relikes of Christ and the saintes in that which they call holy water in the hallowed and consecrated oyle and waxe candles in the signe of the crosse in the baptizing of belles in Amulets Pomanders such like The which Idolatrie is gone so farre that there hath not bin greater no not amōg the heathē The Pope is also an hypocrite worshipping the true God indeed but onely in externall rites perfourmed ex opere operato by the worke done and instituting new kinds of worship as in the sacraments in the sacrifice of the Masse in the vigils or saintes euens in Canonicall houres in chaunting in the Church in fastes in choice of meates single life religious pilgrimages anointing the order of Monasticall life whereof there be more kindes if they were tolde then there are of fowles which yet also haue differēce by their colours so great multitudes if they were mustered together that they wold seeme to bee the armie of Xerxes In workes of supererrogation in almes in mumbling of praiers and in the number of them in their apparell or holy habites in the shauing their haire their burning tapers the ornaments of the Churches the multitude of feasts wherof there is neither measure nor end But yet he is indeed prophane wicked an Atheist because he getteth this kingdome by magique or Symonie or else by threats sedition and tumult both he himselfe beareth also suffereth others to beare the titles names of holy offices without the thing itselfe For if you do take a view either of the ministerie of the word sacraments or of the whole gouernmēt of the Church it appeareth that the bishops others besides doe not execute any part of their owne function but are wholly emploied about temporall affaires contrarie to the word of God the ancient canons We haue exāples herof in Gregory the 5 who being caried with a deuilish desire of authority did first by bribes obtain the Archbishoprick of Rhenes and afterwarde got by the deuils assistance the Popedome itselfe on this cōdition that after his death the deuil shoulde wholly haue him as Platina recordeth In Gregory the 7 who being a Magitiā caused that stones fell downe frō aboue when Henry the 3 Emperor was praying in the tēple whē he was seeking answers from God against the Emp. he cast the sacramēt of the body of the lord into the fire as Platina doeth witnesse In Iohn the eight or rather Ione a woman who dissembling her sexe obtained and exercised the Popedome vntil such time as her tranell did bewray what shee was as againe Platina and verie manie others doe witnesse In Iohn the thirteene who gaue himselfe vnto Sathan corporally as it is registred in Fasciculo Temporum In Sylvester the second of whome Iohannes Stella the Venetian writeth that hee was appointed Pope by the assistance of the deuill on this condition that after his death hee might haue him whollie both soule bodie by whose subtiltie he attained to so great promotion In Benedictus the ninth and Gregorie the sixt and moreouer in Sixtus the fourth as the said Cardinall Benno witnesseth who being at Florence in the Church

former beautie first in Germanie Switserland then in England Scotland France Flanders Denmarke other prouinces And though that vnluckie contention concerning the supper of the Lorde did straightwaie beginne amongst the preachers of the Gospell euen in the beginning thereof and continueth also vnto this day Satan endeauouring thereby to hinder and staie the cause of the gospell yet we are to thinke thus First that Sathan hath not now begun but hath practised long agoe to set at variance the holy seruants of God as Paul and Barnabas and againe the same Paul and Peter with others more secondlie that as concerning the foundation of the doctrine religion of Christ all things necessarie vnto saluation there hath alwaies bene and still is an agreement betwixt those men who are the restorers of this gospell which now beginneth to take life againe For hauing consuted merit and trust reposed in workes wherwith miserable men were bewitched in time of Poperie both parties agreed that our whole saluation consisteth in the merites of Christ onely the difference is in the supper of the Lorde concerning the corporall presence and the bodily eating and that the same is common vnto the godlie and the wicked as the one part defendeth and so not necessarie vnto saluation Thirdly it is no great maruell if in the beginning of reformation as it were in the dawning of the day all things were not at the first well considered for it can scarsely be declared what a deep gulfe of ignorance was in popery and what an horrible darkenesse by reason of errours And doubtlesse it was a verie great miracle wrought by God that those first doctours of the gospell could arise from thence in so litle and short space And although the Iesuites which are lately sprong vp indeauour to heale this wounde of Antichrist yet shall they neuer fullie cure the same Finally he shalbe destroied in the last daie of Christ when he returneth to iudgement and shalbe cast into the lake of fire and brimstone according vnto the prophecie before declared In the meane season we are patiently to beare that persecution wherwith he oppresseth vs and we must not for his tyranie leaue or forsake the profession of the truth Which things sith they are all true it followeth that the Pope since the death of Gregorie the great and the murther of Mauritius the Emperour is that Antichrist whome we haue before described out of the Prophecies of the Prophets and Apostles For whether they consider the doctrine or behold the maners and actions of the Pope they all agree vnto these prophecies and though heretofore there were controuersie touching primacie there were diuers errours and they not small concerning the doctrine yet afterwarde the desire of bearingsway did more breake forth Idolatrie and impietie was encreased and at the length Boniface the third obtained of Phocas the Emperour that whosoeuer should be the Bishop of auncient Rome should also bee esteemed as vniuersall Bishop that Rome shoulde be accounted the heade of all Churches and that this priuiledge might be traduced to their successours and within a while after others of them chalenged both the swords for themselues established this by decree that the Masse was a sacrifice propitiatorie for the liuing and the dead and to conclude they made Rome a sanctuarie for Idols Hitherto wee haue shewed who this great Antichrist is But as in the former question the Papistes doe differ from vs what Antichrist should be so likewise in this latter who Antichrist should be for as they doe define Antichrist otherwise then we so doe they vtterly denie that the Pope of Rome is that Antichrist For the Pope with his adherents now playing the part of Antichrist doeth feigne another Antichrist and teacheth that he is yet to come least he himselfe should bee thought to be the Antichrist indeed Of whose opinion and their reasons we will say more as occasion shall be offered for the manner of our positions will not now permit vs to speake of the same God the Father graunt for our Lorde Iesus Christes sake that men may learne to knowe and to abhorre that Antichrist the most dangerous enemie of Christ and the Church and may likewise learne more and more to loue and worship Christ FINIS Doctor Sohn publike professor of Diuinitie at Heidelberg The matter of this booke No vnion of the two religions The
