Fidelity and Allegiance to those that are fallen into Heresy notwithstanding all former Oaths and Promises made unto them Decret Gregor Lib. 5. Tit. 7. cap 16. Boniface 8. decreed That the Church hath two Swords Spiritual and Temporal that the Spiritual Power may institute and judge the Temporal according to that of Jeremy Behold I set thee over the Nations and over the Kingdoms to root out and to pul down c. And he declares it necessary to salvation for every Humane Creature to be subject to the Roman Bishop Extrav Lib. 1. Tit. 8. Cap. 1. We observing saith Gregory 7. the Decrees and Constitutions of our Holy Predecessors do absolve all from their obedience to Excommunicate Persons whereunto they were formerly oblig'd by Oath or any other way and do strictly charge them that for the future they yield no Allegiance to them Decret 2. pars Caus 15. Quaest 6. Cap. 4. And the like Decree we find in the next Chap. made by U●ban the second To these I will add the Bull or Breve of Pope Paul 5. against our Oath of Allegiance in which he declares That they cannot without most evident and grievous wronging of Gods Honour bind themselves by that Oath And afterwards That it cannot be taken with safety of the Catholick Faith and of their souls health since it containeth many things that are plainly and directly contrary to Faith and Salvation And Pope Urban 8. in his Bull sent to the Catholicks in England 1626. calls it That pernicious and unlawful Oath of Allegiance And a little after tells them That which our Predecessor Paul 5. with so great deliberation decreed that ought ye altogether to observe as a Decree of Truth And again Sonner ought the Sword of the Migh●y take from a Christian his Life than his Faith Implying that a man loses his Faith when he takes this Oath And yet our King James hath told the World How careful he was that nothing should be contained in it except the Profe●●ion of Natural Allegiance and Civil and Temporal Obedience with a promise to resist all contrary uncivil Violence Monitory Preface to all Christian Monarchs p. 292. Thus I have clear'd the Proposition from the Canons and Decrees of several Popes which are confirmed by that much admired Council of Trent Sess 25. Cap. 20. Wherefore it decrees and commands that the Sacred Canons and a●l General Councils together with other Apostolical Sanctions made in favour of Ecclesiastical Persons and Eccle●iastical Liberty and against the Violators thereof all which it renewes by this present Decree be precisely observ'd by all men This you see comprehend all their Canons Decretals Clementines Extravagants Bulls And they are sworn unto by every Priest at his Ordination according to the Bull of Pope Pius 4. I vow and swear true Obedience to the Bishop of Rome the Successor of Saint Peter Prince of the Apostles and Vicar of Jesus Christ And all other things do I undoubtedly receive and confess which are delivered defined and declared by the Sacred Canons and General Councils c. So help me God And the Practices of several Popes have been agreeable to these Decrees and Constitutions Gregory 2. rebell'd against the Emperor Leo Isaurus and made Rome and the Roman Dutchy to do the same because he prohibited the adoration of Images Bellar de Roman Pontif. lib. 5. cap. 8.

Rogerius King of Sicily excommunicated by Innocent 2. ibid. Here Sir you have above forty Emperors Kings and Princes excommunicated and depos'd by Roman Bishops and yet this Country-Gentleman hath the confidence to tell us p. 45. That the Popes are few that can be justly taxed with this over-reach of due limits 3. I will now in the last place produce their most approved Councils for the further confirmation of this truth If Practice may be admitted to speak in this Point which with our Romanists is none of the weakest Arguments we shall find that Princes may be lawfully deposed and that confirm'd by the Grandeur of such Meetings Gregory 7. in a Synod at Rome in which Arch-bishops Bishops Abbats and an infinite number of the Clergy were present solemnly excommunicated and deposed Henry 4. Emperor of Germany Baronius an 1080. Sect. 16.

Tit. 14. cap. 2. I will pass by other Instances of this nature and proceed to the Decrees of their General Councils which justify such severe proceedings against Kings and Princes Gregory 7. in a Council at Rome with the consent of those Fathers made this Decree That it was in the Pope's power to depose Emperors and absolve Subjects from Obedience to their Princes Baronius an 1076. Sect. 31.
