Lands Melchior Adamus p. 233. part 2. and 573. on Hemnitius Nihil non per fasque nefasque tentare solent Dr. Humphrey at large pars 1. Jesuitismi I might add how the Pope dispenses with his very Priests to marry contrary to their Canons and Constitutions only to secure them from justice by being discovered to be Priests Fryars Jesuits in their single life Bishop Jewel's defence of the Apology part 2. c. 8. divis 3. p. 188. to 195. Yea and Mr. Prin shews how the Popes will dispense with any thing almost to avoid the lash of the Law in his New discovery of Romish Emissaries p. 19 20 21 c. Insomuch that it was a watchword in Queen Elizabeth's time by Pope Gregory the thirteenth My Son give me thy heart that is Be but a Papist in heart and then go to Church swear dissemble do what you list c. If the Devil can but get the heart 't is enough and so it is with the Devils Vicar and eldest Son that Son of Perdition who knows not that there be amongst us by vertue of this dispensation Monthly Popish Protestants and protesting Papists such as are Moon Calves of a Lunatick Religion and having fidem menstruam a menstruous or Monthly Faith that waxeth and waineth with the Moon to wit such Roman Catholicks as go to Church once in the Month more for fear of the Law than for love of the Gospel and even then have more than a Months mind to be out of the Church again 16. The seventh Principle of Popery Inconsistent with publick Peace is their Doctrine of Canonizing Saints as if their Almighty God the Pope had any power to make the Devils devilishest Traitors on Earth Christs gloriousest Martyrs in Heaven Histories abound in this the Pope highly honors the Traitor that murther'd Henry the third King of France for that high and honourable Act far above as he saith that of Judeth's murthering Holofernes 't was a great and good Act and done by the Assistance of Almighty God c. Christus 5tus Panegyrick upon this Murther The like honour had the young Knave as King James calls him that murthered his Successor Henry the fourth of France the Pope deluding all such Traitors with the hopes and promise of Salvation for such high meriting and supererogating Villanies King James Premonition p. 104. and his Apology p. 67. And he tells you how Garnet and Oldcorn two Priests hanged at Tyburn for the Powderplot were yet Registred among English Martyrs as if Treasonable Practices should be accounted works of eminent Piety Premonition p. 122. And he challenges Bellarmine to tell him whereever did the Pope call any of those Traitors that escaped to an account or punished them for it This the Pope is so far from that he promises to make them Roman Cardinals if they lived or Canonized Saints if they dyed by their design Apology p. 67. they must be Martyrs for the Faith and their Blood must work wonders c. Premon p. 122. Hence he denounces Gods wo against them from Isa 5.20 for calling good evil and evil good shewing withal that no Princes in Europe can be safe while the Pope Patronizes such Treasonable Practices and if the Moralist may be trusted He that Commends them Commits them The Pope contracts all the guilt of those Treasons upon himself as of the Parisian Massacre by granting a Jubilee at the News and to be painted in his Palace altogether unlike Godly Jacob that cryed Oh my Soul enter not into the secrets of those bloody Men Gen. 49.6 Cursed be their Anger that was both crafty and cruel But 't is blessed of the Pope Garnet's Picture is set up among the Saints in the Jesuits Colledge at Rome a Saint abroad is that chief Powder-plotter at home and while the Pope justifies Approves and Applauds such Treasons the publick Peace can never be safe but those Snakes if warm in our Bosoms will certainly sting us as soon as they have an opportunity while the Pope hugs Traitors no King can be safe from Treason saith King James CHAP. VII The Seventh and last Property is Its Irreconciliableness to the Protestant Religion 1. THe Romish Religion is in the seventh place Irreconciliable to the Protestant which is the true Ancient Christian Religion I am not ignorant that there have been some Pontificians or as the word signifies Bridge-makens on both sides that have endeavoured to make a passage over to each others Religion On the Popish part Cassander and the Cassandrian Papists which are the French who are far more moderate Papists than the Spaniards and Italians are for they would never yet receive the Confession of the Council of Trent nor the points of the Popes Infallibility or his power over General Councils or over the Churches and Bishops of other Nations Upon the mixture of the French and English Blood Franciscus de sancta Clara aliàs Davenport that quirking Scotist makes a strong Essay to reconcile the thirty nine Articles of the Church of England with the Trent Council for so high must he have us to go or he can admit of no reconciliation 2. On the Protestant part Hugo Grotius a man of great Learning who being imprisoned for the Arminian Commotions in Holland yet escaping by being carried out in a Trunk became the Suedes Ambassador to the French King and there was influenced by the Jesuits his great Familiars to undertake the Reconciling of Papists and Protestants in a Cassandrian Popery and this he doth with all his might Hereupon he publishes Cassander with his Notes and writes his Vote for peace wherein he pleads for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or trans-elementation in favour of the Popish Transubstantiation and says that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Bread worshippers are no more to be condemned than 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Ark-worshippers Therein also he rails against Calvin and defends that Saints departed do know our Affairs on Earth as Elisha did Gehazi's And as Ezekiel in Chaldaea did know what was done in the Temple at Jerusalem What was all this but a pleading for Baal whom Gideon's Father would have to plead for himself Insomuch that the Dutch Divines in their Synopsis purioris Theologiae say with one consent Quòd Hugo Grotius papizat that Hugo Grotius plays the Papists part therein he endeavoured to reduce us to the Trent Council though not to the Opinion of their private Doctors 2. Such Bridg-makers as these have been amongst us some considerable time who would have made passage over to receive the Romish Religion into their Bosoms as the only way of Patronizing Unity and Antiquity To cross this Project famous Mr. Perkins wrote his Reformed Catholick which broke the design of Recomiling in his day and conjur'd down that cursed Spirit But alas that unclean Devil is raised up again in our day by the charms of the man of Sin I have sometime wondred at Bishop Bramhal who had excellently told Monsieur Melliteirs that their Romish

filios the Product of the Gods because they spring up without Seed yet are they but the sweat and superfluity of putrefyed Earth and therefore never can continue many Months Weeks or Days but soon shrivles into Fuz-balls This is the exact Resemblance of the Beast with seven Heads to Plot with and ten Horns to Push with ascending out of the Earth or Sea or Hell Revel 13.1.11 and Revel 11.7 and of his Beastly Religion that Smoke which ascendeth out of the bottomless Pit Revel 9.2 with abundance of Craft and Cruelty Though the Romanists say of it as the Town-Clerk said of Diana's Image that it fell down from Jupiter or as the Syriack reads it which descended down from Heaven Act. 19.35 yet Christ saith to them as John 8.23 Vos Infernales estis ye are from beneath Earth-sprung as so many Mushrooms and born from base Beginnings God grant they may dwindle away into Fuz-balls yea into nothing when their forty two Months the Beasts Lease are expired Assuredly Christ will smite Antichrist that Earthy one that lump of Earth which is both cold and dry heavy and bearing downward toward Hell as Earth with the Rod ef his Mouth Isa 11.6 And if John Baptist could say Christ must increase but I must decrease much more may this Earthy Antichrist this Toadstool Beast that only speaketh of the Earth not at all minding Heaven say so John 3.30 31. 6. 'T is Inconsistent with Rublick Peace in its Principles and Practices Insomuch that the very Collect for Gunpowder-Treason day in the Comon-Prayer Book calls the Romish Religion no better than absolute Rebellion How then can may or dare any sober mind do but hate this Religion as Rebellion it self which is as the Sin of Witchcraft 1 Sam. 15.23 Yea Dr. Davenant and Dr. Prideaux the two worthy Professors of our famous Universities have both determined that an absolute Papist living under a Protestant Prince and standing up to his own Principles must be an absolute Traitor And Mr. Fuller of later date affirms that an absolute Papist living under a Protestant King is battered with this two horn'd Dilemma of being either a Traitor if he walk up to his own Popish Principles or an Heretick if he deny them he cannot serve two Masters Matth. 6.24 This cursed Achan with his Babylonish Garment c. hath troubled Israel's peace in all Lands and therefore is to be stoned and burn'd Josh 7.15 to 25. with Rev. 17.16 Lastly 'T is Irreconciliable Implacable Rom 1.31 that admits not of a Truce much less of a peace like the old hatred of the Philistins to Israel Ezek. 25.15 or like the inveterate Enmity of the Seed of the Serpent against the Seed of the Woman that can never be reconciled but will last as long as the World lasts When you hear that the Devil is reconciled to God then may you have the Romish Religion reconciled to the Reformed 't is not any Amicable Reconciliation with Rome our Lord hath foretold but an utter extirpation Oh! then let not my Countrymen now Court the Whore which hath been so long Carted for a Whore the affection that is due to the Beast and his beastly Religion is hatred and not love Revel 17.16 I conclude this first Part with a lightsome story of a French Gentleman that being asked merrily which was the best Religion the Romish or Reformed Answered I may best know for I have been of both and surely saith he the Reformed which I left is the better for when I changed I had this Romish Religion and three hundred Crowns per year to boot Oh! pray that those seven unclean Spirits with the Romish Religion may be cast out of England for ever and never to return Mark 9.25 FINIS Books newly Printed for Dorman Newman at the King's Arms in the Poultrey THe Sinners last Sentence to Eternal Punishment for Sins of Omission where is discovered the Natuee Causes and Cure of those Sins by George Swinock price 2 s. 6 d.
