SIMEON and LEVI BRETHREN in INIQUITY A COMPARISON BETWEEN A PAPIST AND A Scotch Presbyter OR An Account of the Antient and Modern Jesuits in point of Doctrine and Practice carefully extracted and parallel'd for the Benefit of all his Majesties Loyal Subjects who are not willing to be Cheated out of their Loyalty Religion and Lives and at length their Souls and all under a specious pretence of Religion by such men as make Godliness their Gain and Religion the Stalking-horse to all their Black Designes Papist POpe Gregory the Seventh was the first that took upon him to Depose Kings And 't is the General received Doctrine of the Roman Church that the Pope hath full power to Depose Kings and Princes and to give away their Kingdoms to whom he pleases Pope Gregory the 13th having two Bastards or Nephews as they are commonly called to the one he gave the Kingdom of Ireland to the other the Kingdom of England He that shall look into their History shall finde what a number of Popes have raised up one Prince against another and stirr'd up the Subject against his lawful Sovereign Pope John the 8th raised Berengar and Adalbar against Otho the Emperour Pope John the 18th stirr'd up Crescentius against Otho the third Pope Benedict the 9th raised Peter of Hungaria against Henry the Black No less than seven Emperours have been Excommunicated by their Holinesses viz. Frederick the first Frederick the second Philip Conrade Otho the fourth Lewis of Bavaria Henry the fourth Henry the fifth who having their Dominions set on fire were at last contented with what Holy-water the Pope was pleas'd to cast upon them Let 's come nearer home and see how troublesome his Agents have been to the Kings and Queens of this Nation Henry the first was plagued with Anselm A. B. of Canterbury Henry the second with his Successor Becket Henry the third was sufficiently plagued with the Roman Hierarchy he had his Treasure exhausted his Subjects scourged and all by the Popes intolerable Exactions Henry the Eighth though he continued the Pope's Religion entire yet for rejecting his Jurisdiction was Condemned Excommunicated pronounced no King his Subjects commanded to deny all Subjection and all men to take up Arms against him Pope Pius the fifth Excommunicates Queen Elizabeth and Deposes her by his Bull. The Effects First a Rebellion in the North stirred up by Nic. Morton a Priest the Chief Leaders were the Earls of Westmorland and Northumberland intending to joyn with the Duke of Norfolk in order to a Match between him and the Queen of Scots thereby to make claim to the Crown of England Queen Elizabeth being Deposed by the Popes Bull. Thuanus tells us that these Doctrines were inculcated every where 1. Princes not professing the Roman Faith are fallen from their Title and Royal Authority 2. That Princes Excommunicate were not to be obey'd but thrown out of their Kingdoms and that it is a meritorious Work to do it 3. That the Clergy are exempt from the Jurisdiction of Secular Princes and are not bound by their Laws 4. That the Pope hath the chief and full Power and Authority over all throughout the world even in Civil matters 5. That the Magistrates of England are not lawful Magistrates and therefore not to be accounted so 6. Whatever since the Bull of Pope Pius the fifth was published which some hold was Dictated by the Holy Ghost hath by the Queens Authority been acted in England is by the Law of God and Man reputed altogether void and null The fruit of these Doctrines you may see in the Case of Anthony Babington a proper young Gentleman who was excited by Ballard a Jesuite to kill Queen Elizabeth as a Deed not only just and holy in it self but honourable and profitable she being Excommunicated whoever killed her should be free from all Sin either against God or Man yea he would merit a Crown of Glory and if he survived the Enterprise should doubtless obtain a great Reward Under the notion of reward not obscurely insinuating his Marriage with the Queen of Scots In the Year 88 it was agreed between the Pope and King Philip that the said Philip should hold the Kingdome of England in Fee of the Pope when once it was reduced according to the Articles and Contract of King Ina Henry the second and King John made and renewed with the Title of Defendor of the Faith upon which King Philip endeavours an Invasion but Providence frustrated his and his holy Fathers Expectation I should be endless should I mention all the Plots and Treacheries of the Whore of Babylon and her Agents as that of Hugh Oneale Earl of Tyrone that of Don John D'Aquila who was sent by his Master the King of Spain with a great Army into Ireland as also that Damnable Plot of the Gun-powder Treason never outdone till this now which by the great Mercy of God was brought to light by a Miraculous means The chief Contrivers were First The Pope 2. Cardinal Howard 3. Johannes Paulus d'Oliva General of the Jesuits 4. Petro Jeronimo de Corduba Provincial of the Jesuits at Castile 5. Le Cheese a Jesuit Confessor to the French King 6. The Provincial of the Jesuits in England 7. The Benedictine Monks at the Savoy and other Seminary Priests and Jesuits The apprehension of so glorious a work engaged most of the eminent Popish Clergy in England whose Names will stand upon Record to their perpetual shame Those design'd for the act some or them have had their reward But why should we so much wonder at the Treachery of the Church of Rome considering she is always embrewing her hands in Blood by her Inquisition by private Plots or by raising Jealousies amongst Princes witness that Murder of Henry the fourth by Raviliac a Jesuit by the consent of the Jesuits That of one of the Princes of Orange by Gerrard a Jesuit set on by his Brethren of that Order The Death of Sir Edmondbury Godfrey by the Jesuits acted and contrived The Massacre in Ireland The Cruel and Bloody Massacre in France both carried on by Jesuits But above all their most barbarous Murdering of no less than Twenty Millions of Souls in the West Indies which shews they are no Christians otherwise they could not have shed so much Blood for to enrich themselves Presbyter MR Calvin in his Institutions Book the 4 th tells us That the three Estates in every Kingdom have power to lay retraints on their Princes and call them to account if they any way entrench on the Peoples Liberty if they connive with the King they are guilty of perfidious dissimulation and treacherously betray the Subjects Liberty This Doctrine no man is so happy as to be ignorant of has been practised by him and his Followers in France Holland Scotland and England almost to the ruine of the Nation Mr. Buchanan in his Common place tells us That though Princes and Subjects have relation one to another yet Subjects in the
