A18573	The rooting out of the Romishe supremacie Wherein is declared, that the authoritie which the Pope of Rome doth challenge to him selfe ouer all Christian bishops and churches, is vnlawfully vsurped: contrarie to the expresse word and institution of our sauiour Iesu Christ: who did giue equall power and authoritie to all the apostles, bishops, and ministers of his Church, whereof he is the true corner stone, and only heade.

time of King Henrie the eight who did roote it out wholy THus hauing hitherto shewed declared how the supremacy and Papacie of Rome béeing not planted by Christe and his Apostles was rooted first in the Church by Boniface the third and afterward spreade abroade farther and farther by his successours so that it grew and brought forth the poysoned fruites which I haue rehearsed Now it doeth remaine that I proceede to shew how it hath ben rooted out of the Church of England by godly princes of famous memorie whose examples some princes haue I wish all princes of the earth would follow And herein I shall euidently discouer and refute their errour who béeing counted men of good knowledge and iudgement haue borne me in hand that the power authoritie of the Pope of Rome was neuer banished out of this our countrie vntill that King Henrie the eight did expell it in the xxvj yeare of his raigne in the yeare of our Lord a thousand fiue hundred thirtie foure For it is certaine and shal be clearely proued that many yeares before that King Henrie the eight was borne or King Henries Fathers Father the kinges of this Realme haue made lawes and statutes against the Bishop of Rome his authoritie and iurisdiction whiche he did wrongfully clayme and vsurp within their dominions and therefore they did iustly remoue it and expell it To the which purpose it must be firste considered that vnder the colour of the decrées aboue mentioned the Popes did take vpon them to preferre strangers vnto the roomes of Archbishops and bishops throughout the Realme of England many yeares together and to place whom they list Abbots and Priors in any religious houses when so euer that the places were voide neither onely to present vnto all manner of religious houses but also to Prebends Prouostries Deanries Parsonages and such like Which thinges as they were done to the great impeachment of the kings dignitie and crowne imperiall of the Realme so did they tend also to the disinheritance after a sort of his maiestie of his coūsellours of the nobilitie of other his subiectes which had by inheritaunce the giftes of such liuings and to the great losse of the whole countrie by decay of hospitalitie and conueying of our treasures out of the Realme through the meanes of straungers who were preferred to these liuinges and spirituall promotions For redresse of which faultes the nobles and commons of this Realme at the Parleament holden at Carlile in xxv Anno. Domini 1296. yere of the raigne of King Edward the first did present and exhibite a bill into the Parleament of all the inconueniences and iniuries offered to the kinges maiestie the nobles and commons by the Bishop of Rome Wherevpon the Parleament tooke order and enacted that from thence forth the Bishop of Romes authoritie shold take no place within this Realme in any such matters if he dealt in any they should be voide and of none effect Which act made againste the Bishop of Rome because there was no penaltie set vpō such as did mainteine or suffer his doings to preuaile against the order taken therefore not long after the death of this good king Edward the first Edward the second his sonne being king a man of no suche courage as his father was neither hauing leasure thorough his great troubles with the Earle Mortimer and the Quéene his wife to looke to such matters the Bishop of Rome did spring againe to doe what he would The substance of this Act made by king Edward the first is not recited in the statutes of the xxv yere of his raigne because it is wholy mentioned in the first part of the statute made the xxv yere of King Edward the third At the which time in a Parleament holden at Westminster the same petition and Act made at Carlile was returned Anno Domini 1350. cap. 1. and more ample order taken withal against the Bishop of Rome For it was prouided there and enacted that whosoeuer did fetche from Rome or take any such prouisions to disturbe any presentation or election made in this Realme or the persons that were in possession of any spirituall promotions that the prouisors and disturbers their procurators executors notaries and attournies should be attached and laid in prison without baile or mainprise there to remaine vntil both they had answered the king such fine and raunsome as shold be taxed at his pleasure and also had agréed with the partie wronged neither should they be deliuered vntill they had put in sufficient sureties neuer to attempt any suche thing afterward Cap. 1. Againe in the xxvij yeare of his raign in the Parleament holden at Westminster the same statute was inlarged and the penaltie made that the offenders therein if they came not to answere at their day in proper person and were found culpable they should forfaite all their landes and goodes their bodie should remaine in prison out of the kinges protection It appeareth farther in the xxx yeare that an excōmengment as they do tearme it was certified by the Pope whiche was disallowed by the Iustices and the bringer thereof should haue bene hanged and drawne if the Chancelour of England had not prayed to the king for him In the xxxviij yeare the like acte was made for such as procured any citations or processes from the court of Rome that their procurers and attourneyes should haue such punishmentes and forfaitures as are before mentioned Now in the time of king Richard the second who did next succéed him there was a statute made the thirtéenth yeare of his reigne Anno Domini 1363. Cap. 1. in the Parleament at Westminster againste prouisors of benefices with this penaltie that they should be out of the kings protection and forfeit the benefice But in the sixtéenth yeare of his reigne Cap. 15. the same king made more full and straite lawes against the Bishop of Rome whereby he banished his whole authoritie out of this realme enacting that no processe from Rome should be allowed Yea further Cap. 5. that if any subiect of this realme should receiue or fetch from Rome or set forth any maner Citations Presentations Fulminations Buls or any other things against the kings regaltie crowne he being conuict thereof should loose and forfet all his landes and goods to the king his body to be at the kinges pleasure and out of his protection and in the cause of praemunire The same punishment also appointed for him who so euer should sue any appeale to Rome King Henrie the fourth which succéeded Richard in the second yeare of his reigne in the parlament holden at Westminster An. Do. 1401. Capit. 3.4 did likewise make a lawe that no spirituall or religious person secular or regular should take any maner of promotiō or liuing spiritual or offices in any spiritual houses by any prouisions of Licences or Buls frō Rome vnder the payne contained in the praemunire as in

Peter finally that these Bishops had but short liues bicause God did quickly take them out of the earth as it were certaine monsters And these are the testimonies that Platina doth giue of this trimme succession of the Romane Bishops following one an other when yet their power was lesser and their supremacie not growen so high If I should goe forward to speake of their behauiour who came after these men and did succéede them in that sée as namely of the crueltie of Sergius the third Platina in vitis horum pontificum who did behead the carcase of Pope Formosus long after he was dead of the beastlinesse of Iohn the thirtéenth a man euen from his youth giuen ouer to filthy lustes and all dishonestie of life of the sacriledge of Boniface the seuenth who being driuen of the citizens out of Rome did rob Saint Peters Church of iewels and making money of them returned to buy the Popedome of Iohn the sixtéenth who to enrich his kinsemen spared neyther heauen nor earth regarding neyther Gods honour nor the Churches commoditie of Siluester the second who gaue him selfe vnto the diuell that he would helpe him to be Pope vpon condition that he should haue him wholy after his death of Benet the ninth Siluester the third Gregorie the sixt of whom the first solde the other bought the dignitie and stroue together for it thrée most ougly monsters as Platina doth call them and to passe ouer the rest of Alexander the vi in our owne dayes who wasted and spoyled all Italy most miserably to make his bastarde Borgia Cesar a Prince and hauing at the length certaine of the richest Cardinals at supper did minde to poyson them to haue their riches for his bastarde Onuphrius in vita Alexandri sexti but him selfe was poysoned through the errour of his butler who mistakinge the flagon gaue the good wine to the Cardinals and to the Pope the poyson If further I shoulde speake of all their straunge and horrible scismes and contentions when two or three were made Popes at one time and raised their thrones at once in diuerse places of the which kind themselues doe number thirtie scismes some of them lasting for fiftie yeares together as namely that for which the councell of Constance was assembled by Sigismund the Emperour because the state of Christendome was troubled then with three Popes all chosen by Cardinals The firste Pope in Italy the seconde Pope in Fraunce the thirde Pope in Spaine and none would yéeld to other the very rehearsal of these and the like pointes would I feare be tedious and I coulde say no more of them thē that which Platina doth say often O quantum degenerarunt isti Pontifices a suis maioribus Alas howe greatly do these Bishoppes degenerate from their auncesters Or rather that which the Apostle doth write to the Romanes he spake it of the Gentiles it was fulfilled in the Popes Bicause they knewe God Rom. 1. and did not glorifie him as God but became vaine in their owne imaginations and turned the glory of the incorruptible GOD into the similitude of the image of a corruptible man therefore God gaue them vp to their hearts lustes vnto vncleannesse vnto vile affections vnto reprobate mindes Wherefore to leaue the rest which might be saide touching these fruites of the Romish supremacie to the further search and consideration of the godly reader onely this I can not choose but I must expresly note as the chiefest pearle of their supremacie that after they had gotten the loftie title of it by the graunt of Phocas of Emperours subiectes they became the Lords of Emperours commaunding what they list deposing whome they list as though they were the souereigne kings of all the earth First Constantine the Pope did onely resist Philippicus the Emperour refusing to plucke downe images as he commaunded him Then Gregorie the second when Leo the Emperour gaue him the same charge did take away from him his Empire in Italie and Gregorie the third did both depriue him of the Empire and of the fellowship of the faithfull But in this point Gregorie the seuenth who was named Hildebrand before he was Pope did farre passe all his predecessors for whereas before that time the Emperour had authorite to giue byshopriks and other spiritual liuings through all his dominions Gregory the seuenth tooke authoritie vppon him to forbidde the Emperour to giue any such liuinges threatening him withall that if he did giue them hee woulde condemne both him and whosoeuer shold receiue them Which commaundement of the Pope for as much as Henrie the Emperour missliked thinking it vniust and would not therefore obey it Gregorie the Pope excommunicated him and depriued him of his Empyre assoyling all his subiectes of their allegeances vnto him and charging them withall that they shoulde not obey him Wherevppon a parte of his Empire did rebell and great warres were raised against him by the Saxons which and other discommodities that did ensue I will not stande vppon Onely I do note the presumption of these Priests who both rebell them selues againste their Lordes and Emperours and stir vp others to rebellion vnder the colour of their supremacie Whereof we neede not to séeke for the proofe in Gregory the seuenth who did so abuse the good Emperour Henrie we haue had experience of it at home within our owne realme which Pius the fifth did raise to rebellion against our gratious Quéene Elizabeth whome the Lorde defende for euer as hee did then defend her when Pope did curse her he did blesse her But to knit vp this point of the fruites of the Popes supremacie this is the summe of all that they doe seeke their owne dominion the honour the wealth the pleasures of this worlde they will rather spoile Princes and Emperours all of their right then any part of their preeminence or commodities shal be empaired Vppon this ground to satisfie their ambition their coueteousnesse their lustes beside dominions in Italie which with Italian policies by the discorde of kings and Emperours they haue gotten into their hands they haue endeuored to take away as I haue shewed in Hildebrand and might at large in sundrie others which I omit for breueties sake they haue don I say whatsoeuer they could to take away frō Emperours Kings noblemen gentlemē and all the temporalitie as they did terme it their liberties of patronages donations presentations of al spiritual promotions in al kingdomes and countries reseruing to thēselues either alone or especially full power authoritie to giue bishoprickes and Abbayes and Prebendes personages and other such liuings And al to maintain their inordinate ambition their excesse of riot their imperial pompe their fleshly sensualitie which are the naturall children of the Romish supremacie the daughter of coueteousnes pride the mother of mischiefes and all abominations

Howe the Princes of England made many lawes and statutes against the Popish supremacie long before the
