PVRITANO-IESVITISMVS THE PURITAN TVRN'D JESUITE OR RATHER OVT-VYING HIM IN those Diabolicall and dangerous Positions of the Deposition of KINGS from the yeare 1536. untill this present time extracted out of the most ancient and authentick Authours By that Reverend Divine Doctour OVVEN Batchelour of Divinity Shewing their concord in the matter their discord in the manner of their sedition August in Psal 36.

THE FIRST CHAPTER Proveth by the testimony of Scripture that Kings are not punishable by man but reserved to the judgement of God KIngs have their authority from God a Rom. 13.1 and are his Vicegerents in earth b Prov. 8.15 to execute justice and judgement for him amongst the Sonnes of men c 2 Chron. 19.6 All subjects as well Prelates and Nobles as the inferiour people are forbidden with the tongue to revile Kings d Exod. 22.28 with the heart to thinke ill of them e Eccl. 10.20 or with the hand to resist them f Rom. 13.2 The great King of Heaven doth impart his owne name unto his Lievetenants the Kings of the Earth and calleth them Gods with an ego dixi g Psal 82.6 whose word is Yea and Amen with this onely difference that these Gods shall dye like men h Psal 82.7

Lord Edward by the grace of God the Noble King of England caused your Letters to bee read openly before us touching certaine occurrents of state betweene him and the King of Scotland wee did not a little marvaile at the contents thereof so strange and wonderfull as the like hath never beene heard of Wee know most Holy Father and it is well knowne in this Realme and also to other Nations that the King of England ought not to make answer for his right before any Iudge Ecclesiasticall or secular Parliament at Lincolr c quoted by M. ekenshaw by reason of the free estate of his Royall dignity and custome without breach at all times unviolably observed Wherefore after treaty had and diligent deliberation this was our resolution that our said King ought not to answer in judgement nor send Procuratours or Messengers to your Court seeing that tendeth manifestly to the disinheriting of the right of the Crowne the overthrow of the state of the Kingdome and the breach of the liberties customes and lawes of our Fathers for the keeping whereof wee are bound by the duty of an oath and will by Gods helpe maintaine and defend with all our power and strength c. Dated at Lincolne Ann. Dom. 1301. Anno Edwardi primi 29. This was then the resolution of the State of this Land if our late Sectaries Popish or Puritan bring in any other Doctrine wee may not leave the cawsey of truth and obedience whereon our Fore-fathers walked to their commendation to follow these new guides in their bypaths of pride disobedience and contempt of authority to our destruction Vincentius in his Speculo Historiali hath a notable place to disswade from sedition and perjury Lib. 15. c. 84. Vt pace omnium bonorum dixerim haec sola novitas ne dicam Haeresis nec dum è Mundo emerserat That I may speake with the favour of all good men this meere novelty if not Heresie was not sprung up in the World that Priests should teach subjects that they owe no subjection to wicked Kings and albeit they have given an oath of fidelity unto them they are not bound to keepe it Nay they that obey an evill Prince are to bee held as excommunicated and all such as rebell against him are free from the guilt of the crime of perjury So farre hee I will end this Chapter with Aeneas Silvius Pius 2. de ortu author Imperii c. 23. who died in the yeare 1464. Sit tandem finis litium Let there bee an end of contention and one principall head to determine all temporall matters let the occasion of perpetuall debate bee taken away let men acknowledge themselves subject to their Prince and give reverence to him whom God hath made his vicegerent on Earth As that which God commandeth must bee obeyed without contradiction so the temporall Commandements of Caesar may not bee resisted But let the Kings themselves beware that they oppresse no man unjustly nor give their people cause to crie to God against them for the Earth is the Lords and the fulnesse thereof hee will not forget the crie of the poore and for the sinne of the Prince hee translateth the Government from one Nation to another There is nothing more offensive to the greatest God the King and Creatour of Heaven and Earth then the neglect of justice and the oppression of the poore as the Psalmist saith The poore shall not alway bee forgotten and the patient abiding of the needy shall not perish for ever So farre Silvius The seaventh Chapter sheweth the concord of Papist and Puritan for the deposition of Kings and their discord about the meanes and persons to bee imployed in the execution of their designements CHilderick was deposed and Pipine crowned King of France about the yeare 750. The truth of which History is this Childerick void of all princely gravity gave himselfe over to pleasure and wantonnesse leaving the burthen of the state to Pipinus that was his Lord Marshall Who conspired with the Nobles to advance himselfe by the deposition of the King his Master To set a better colour on the matter Pipine sent his Chaplaine to Pope Zachary to have his answer to this Question Whether should bee King hee that bare the name and did nothing or hee that governed the Kingdome The Pope gave sentence with the Marshall against the King whereupon Childerick was made a shorne Monke and Pipine a crowned King It is a wonder to see how these opposite Sectaries doe insist upon this fact of the French-men to justifie their dangerous doctrine and seditious conspiracies against Princes As Cardinall Bellarmine de Pontif. lib. 2. cap. 17.

The Papists which ascribe this deposing power to the Pope endeavour by tooth and naile to disprove that interest which the Puritans grant the Peeres or the people First this example served Gregory the seventh to excuse his presumptous practises against Henry the fourth Quidam Romanus Pontifex A certaine Bishop of Rome deposed a King of France not so much for his ill life as for that hee was not fit for government Lib. de unit Eccles apud Scard pag. 3. and placed Pipine which was Father to Charles the great in his place absolving all the French-men from the oath of allegeance which they had sworne to their King Thus farre Gregory in an Epistle to one Herimanus that was Bishop of Metz in France Thomas Harding concludeth from this fact a Divine power in the Pope Consut of the Apolog. fol. 181. Can you not see saith Harding what strength and power is in the Pope which is able with a word to place and displace the mightiest King in Europe with a word I say for I am sure you can shew us of no army that hee sent to execute his will Is it in the power of man thinke you to appoint Kingdomes can the Devill himselfe at his pleasure set up and depose Kings no surely Much lesse can any member of his doe the same Remember you what CHRIST said when the Iewes objected that hee did cast out Devils in the name of the Prince of Devils
