flames and it is a common discourse amongst them that the burning of that City is a happiness to the Kingdome and has cured it of the Rickets It is now time to draw to a conclusion though perhaps some things in the Pamplet being stuffed with many ridiculous passages and little pertinent to the purpose I have for brevities sake omitted to speake to For a farewell I will only add this to the Author that if the Protestant assertors of his Majesties Right had been as few as those he has set down in red letters of his party He should here have been imitated by me but our numbers are so vast that many large folio's would not containe them But instead of the Apologist his bloody or red list take here an extract of some things out of the History of Henry the IV. of France written by Hardouin de Perefix Bishop of Rodez formerly Tutor to this French King Lewis concerning the Ligue in France called by its abettours the Sacred Vnios supported by Popes more especially by Sextus Quintus Gregory the XIV entered into by persuasion of the Roman Divines by the Rebellious Roman Catholick Subjects of the two Henry's the III IV to oppose which they were most chiefly assisted by their Protestant Subjects who were always most ready to help them in time of extremity still proved their best and most Loyal Subjects On all hands little notice is taken of Henry the IV. his right to the Crown of France Fol. 61. 〈◊〉 Author wr●● thus conce●●ing the suc●●sion of He the IV Crown o● France 1● yeare of Lord. because he was removed above the seventh degree of blood from Henry the III. of France beyond which there is no kindred as to private succession Besides he was not of that Religion which was ever professed by the French Kings ever since King Clovis and consequently was uncapable of wearing the Crown and bearing the title of Most Christian c.

THUANUS Miseros Principes quibus de conjuratione non creditur nisi occisis IF the Author of the Apologie could make good the beginning of his Discourse I could very heartily turn Apologist for him and his Friends He say's right and the Divel spoke true when he cryed aloud that Jesus was the Son of God that the Arms which Christians may use against lawful Powers in their severities are only prayers and tears Thus far he speakes like a Protestant that is to say a primitive Christian and it might have stood as a faire Character of his pretended innocency had he not foully bespatter'd it in the sequel with the dirt he casts upon the face of Authority But first it would be considered what it is that the Apologist would be at upon his frequent Compellation of his Lords and Gentlemen is it to draw them to a firm combination with those of his Roman party against all such that shall question the innocency of his Carriage and Intentions Nothing less it seems can satisfie or secure him unless my Lords and Gentlemen that is the old constant Royalist stand up for his advocate he must fall under the heavy censure of his greatest adversaries who to compleat the mischief and misery of it are not only become his accusers but his insulting judges as he complains And now it is high time for my Lords and Gentlemen to remember their often vows to that party and renounce all further conjunction with them that have been the cause of so great calamity to the Nation as he there tells them But is not this Divide Impera and though they did not nip the plant in the bud yet now being grown up not likely to answer them in the expected fruits they will endeavor so to dismember the party as may manifestly indanger the whole For what els mean those words let it never be be recorded in story that you forgott your often vows to us in joyning to them those insulting judges as he terms them before that have been the cause of so great calamity to the Nation Is not a disunion here manifestly endeavoured and that in direct contradiction to what was before protested far be it from Catholicks to perplex Parliaments To reconcile this difference in the expressions will well become the Apologist before he answer the following objections which he makes his next task And here first he presents his Catholick Party astonished even to admiration at that calumny above the rest that their principles are said to be inconsistent with Government and they themselves thought ever prone to Rebellion As if because they account themselves the only Orthodox Christians they must necessarily be very Loyal subjects at the least Indeed if they could make good the former we had reason to expect some complyance as to the latter seeing Religion hath its name Religio a religan●o from that connexion and strict conjunction it works in its Professors as with each other so in all with that Government and Governour under which they have their common protection But how Orthodox and united Roman Catholicks are in the grounds of their belief the maine ingredient in the essence of Religion hath sufficiently appeared in the writeings of many who have unanswerably evinced the nullity of the Romanists Faith whether ultimately resolved into their vertual Church the Pope with his Conclave as the Jesuites will have it Or into the representative Church a General Councel as others will have it Or into both the former conjoynd as others contend Or erranti nullus terminus into the new mode of Orall tradition as it is lately and clamorously urged by others who abominate the former Yet though our Catholicks do thus stagger in the grounds of their faith are they not more firm in their fealties and Loyalties surely their principles are every way consisting which the Government under which they live Nothing less and it will plainly appeare if we consider the Doctrine of their Church and their frequent practice To the former much need not be said That the Pope the acknowledged head of their Church hath a plenary power to excommunicate all Christian Kings that will not close with the Papal perswasion and when they are excommunicated that they cease to be Kings that their subjects are absolved from all fealty and allegiance to them yea may take up Arms against them and so murther them All this is so notoriously known that as no reall Roman Catholick will deny so it were needless to urge further proof of it Becanus Bellarm. Bozius Molina Campian Stapleto c. He that hath leisure may find enough of this in Alvarez Mariana and divers others that speake expresly enough at this rate and hath it not been sufficiently verified in the Roman Catholicks practice T is well known who encouraged one Parry to murther Queen Elizabeth what Pope it was that issued out his dreadfull excommunication animateing the Subjects of England against her And if you will allow of Cardinal Perron's positive sentence he will tell you that that doctrine which renders Kings indeposeable opens a gap to no lesse then schisme and heresie as if it were not only lawfull but necessary to suppress whatever they be that will not conforme to the Popish Hierarchy He that should see a Soveraigne Prince holding the bason whilst the Pope washeth his hands
