B08923	Memoires of Mr. Des-Ecotais: formerly stiled in the Church of Rome the most venerable Father Cassianus of Paris, priest and preacher of the Order of the Capucins. Or, The motives of his conversion. Divided into two parts. I. That the doctrin of the now Roman church is not grounded neither upon the Holy Scripture; neither upon the belief of the primitive church or the authority of the Holy Fathers, which is more particularly and more evidently verified in the examination of the belief of Rome concerning the Eucharist. II. That the church of Rome is not the true church; that it doth not enjoy, as absolutely its own, out-shutting all other churches, neither the antiquity of the belief, neither the multitude of the people, neither the true and lawful succession of the bishops; that the authority thereof is not infallible, and that it is full of errors and corruptions.

Pope and which are to be seen in Baronius (a) An. 1076. Num. 31 32 c. Among them the following propositions are to be found Princes are to kiss the Popes feet It is lawful for the Pope to depose Emperours and to absolve their subjects from their fidelity and the obedience which they owe their natural Lords and Superiours 'T is to establish these fine Propositions that Pope Innocent the 3d witness Durandus (a) Lib. 1. myster cap. 5. compareth the Pope with the Arke of the Covenant and saith that the Cardinal Deacons have the care of carrying the Pope upon their shoulders because in the Old Testament it was the duty of the Levites to carry the Ark of the Lord. 'T is for this reason that in the publick Processions which are made at Rome they carry the Pope and the Sacrament yet with such difference that the Sacrament which in the opinion of Rome is transubstantiated into the body of Christ is tyed upon the back of a Mule whilest the Pope is carried with Magnificence by the Princes or the Kings who are present there or else by their Ambassadors if the Kings be not present according as it it written in the (b) Lib. 2. sect 2. cap. 3. Book of their Ceremonies It was to put in practice the Maximes of deposing Kings and absolving their subjects from the obedience they owe them that Pope Gregory the 7th deposed Henry the 4th Emperour and Boleslaus the 2d King of Poland that Pope Zacharias deposed Chilperick King of France absolved the French from the fidelity they owed their natural King and put Pepine into his place that Boniface the 8th deposed Philip le Bell King of France and excommunicated him in that decretal which begins (c) Extravagant de majorit obedi Vnam sanctam Ecclesiam In which the Pope himself declares That it is of necessity to Salvation for every humane creature to be subjected to the Pope of Rome that Innocent III. deposed the Emperour Otho IV. Innocent IV. deposEd the Emperour Frederick II. Julius II. took away the Kingdom of Navarre from its natural King to give it to the King of Spain In fine it was to maintain all these ambitious Maximes that about the year 1200 Pope Innocent III. who deposed the Emperour Otho deposed also King John of England declared him to have lost the right to his Kingdom absolved his subjects from the Oath of Allegiance caused Divine Service to cease throughout all the Kingdom and Churches and Church-yards to be shut up which continued by the space (d) Mat. Paris of six years and a half excommunicated the King and gave the Kingdom of England to Philip Augustus King of France upon condition to conquer it at his own peril and fortune in short it was to maintain those principles that Paul III. excommunicated Henry VIII King of England and Pius V. Queen Elizabeth of blessed memory Whereas by right (e) King James in his premonition to all Christ Monar pag. 23. Christian Emperours are the Lords and the Superiours of the Popes even the Popes have acknowledged themselves their subjects and vassals and that they were to honour and obey the Emperours as their Lords and their Masters as it is to be seen by the Letters of Gregory the great and other Bishops of Rome to the Emperours in whose time they lived The Roman Emperours used to Elect the Popes and make Laws which were to be observed by the Roman Seat it was from the Emperours all the Bishops and Archbishops of Rome were to receive their Investiture and it was to the Emperours the Popes themselves were forced to pay a certain sum of mony to be confirmed in the Papacy witness Igebert and Luitprand with other Popish Historians The Emperors deposed the Popes as relateth King James the Emperor Otho deposed Pope John XII for diverse crimes and vices especially of Lechery the Emperour Henry III. in a very short time deposed three Popes to wit Benedict IX Silvester III. and Gregory VI. both because of their Covetousness and because they abused their Authority against Kings and Princes In fine all the Church-men and the Pope himself with them is subject to Kings who are immediately under God Supreme Governours of the Church since the Apostle (f) Ad Rom. 13.1 saith Let every soul be subject to the higher Powers c. Do but read the Comments of the Fathers upon that verse and they will teach you that Ministers Bishops and High-priests are not excused from that upon any terms St. Chrysostome (a) Homil. 23. super epist ad Rom. maintains that the greatest Bishops are not exempted from the jurisdiction of Kings 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. And afterwards Should you be an Apostle saith he should you be an Evangelist or a Prophet no body is exempted from the Kings Jurisdiction Theodoret St. Bernard and the others hold the same Is the Pope more than a Prophet is he more than an Evangelist is he more than an Apostle to rise above bove all the Kings of the earth and not only deny to them his obedience but furthermore to take upon him to rule and dispose of their Estates to depose and excommunicate the Kings themselves and to Commission the subjects to rebel against their natural Princes § 2. The Pope exalts himself above all Churches taking unjustly to himself the titel of Universal Bishop That it is a Blasphemy and an Apostasie in Christendome to take upon him such a title ANother of those 27 Propositions which do compose the Dictatorship of the Pope is this that the Bishop of Rome is to be called Universal Bishop where you may see the monstrous ambition of that man who is called the Pope who after he hath elevated his power above the Majesty of all Kings would rise above all his fellows and above all Churches 'T was in prosecution of this Maxime that in the 4th Council of Carthage three Bishops of Rome one after another after having falsified the decree of the first Council of Nice produced the Articles of the Council of Sardis pretending that one might appeal from other Bishops to the Bishop of Rome but the Fathers of that Council having had recouse unto the originals and known by that means the foul-play of the Bishops of Rome made a decree quite contrary to that exorbitant Authority that the Bishops of Rome would have taken upon themselves Truely there is nothing so ill grounded as that Primacy and that Title of Vniversal Bishop which the Popes challenge to themselves neither Peter nor any of the Apostles ever took upon themselves such title or jurisdiction and though they observed among the Apostles and in the Primitive Church the order of first and second c. yet such an order was never for the destruction of the Authority of the other Apostles or Bishops since among the Apostles St. Peter who was the first presided not in the Council of Jerusalem but St. James who
