Because he was the first visible founder erecter of that Antichristian Papal Soveraignty Tyranny which his ambitious Successors have since presumed to claim exercise over Christian Emperors Kings Kingdoms Churches Prelates The first who attempted to excommunicate depose interdict the Roman Emperors give their Crowns Kingdoms to others to absolve all their subjects from their Oathes of Allegiance to them and excite Subjects to rebell and take up arms against their rightfull Kings to dethrone them for not obeying their Papal Decrees 2ly Because he was the chief contriver before after his intrusion into Peters pretended Chair how to deprive the Roman Emperors of their antient hereditary Soveraign Ecclesiastical right of electing ratifying investing confirming Popes Patriarchs Archbishops Bishops and to defraud robb all other Christian Kings Princes Nobles Lay-Patrons of their Patronages Presentations Collations to Bishopricks Benefices or any other Ecclesiastical dignities under the false pretext of Simony Heresie Sacriledge Idolatry wherewith he branded it on purpose to monopolize the sale and disposal of them to himself and his Successors to make all Bishops Clergymen and Religious Orders sworn Vassals Feudatories Votaries Servants to and sole Dependants on the See of Rome but perfidious Traytors Rebels to their own natural Kings Princes as exempted from and having no Dominion over them nor engagements to them 3ly Because he was the first Pope who violently persecuted married Priests prohibiting all Laymen to hear their Masses c. unlesse they were totally divorced from their wives in obedience to his Papal Decrees Which Antichristian Usurpations Innovations of his being the Original ground president of all his Successors intollerable Encroachments on proceedings of like nature against our English Kings and their Soveraign Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and the Emperor Henries oppositions against him and his encroachments a grand encouragement to our Kings vigorous oppositions against his successors usurpations of like nature in England the chief Subject of my ensuing History I deemed it not only expedient but absolutely necessary to present the world with a full and faithfull Narrative of his Hildebrandian Antimonarchical Sentences Decretals Proceedings the opositions made against them which have ever since infested all Christian States Churches with high contests schisms wars between the Crown and Miter And before I procceed to his Successors I shall give you this further Account of these 3. particulars beginning with the Original ground of the quarrel Investitures and Simony I have formerly discovered how some of Hildebrands immediate Predecessors by his advice and instigation made

holy is he that hath part in the first Resurrection on such the second death hath no power but they shall be Priests God and of Christ From which Texts Tertullian thus argued Nonne Lalci Sacerdotes sumus Regnum quoque nos et Sacerdotes Deo Patri suo fecit St. Ambrose resolves Omnes filii Ecclesiae Sacerdotes sunt St. Hierom determines Genus Sacerdotale Regale sumus omnes qui baptizati in Christo Christi censemur nomine Which St. Chrysostom thus backs Et tu in baptismo Rex essiceris Sacerdos Propheta adding St. Peter calls the whole Church of Christ A Kingly Priesthood St. Augustin concludes Hoc Sacerdotio Regali consecrantur omnes pertinentes ad corpus Christi Summi veri Principis Sacerdotum Omnes sunt sacerdotes quia membra sunt unius Sacerdotis Yea St. Bernard most Commentators and all Protestant Divines from these Texts resolve That every faithfull Christian is after a spiritual and ghostly manner both a Priest to offer up spiritual Sacrifices unto God and likewise a King to rule over his sins and corruptions Therefore Mr. Hardings inference from this Text of Peter That the Pope being a Bishop may be a King But on the other side a King may in no wise be a Bishop or Priest That the Priesthood which is the greater may contain the Kingship being the lesse but not è converso And Dormers inference thence You are a Kingly Priesthood as who should say the Priesthood before was not Kingly for that their Kings under the Law ruled over Priests but now is the Priesthood Kingly for that to it be subiect even Kings themselves So that unlesse the Pope yea every Popish Priest may rule over Kings and Princes as their Lords paramount and that in Temporals as well as Spirituals and all the world at their pleasures they think they are no Kingly Priestood must needs vanish into smoak since not only every Christian King but private Christian is as much as really a Spiritual Priest and King too by St. Peters and St. Johns resolutions as the Pope or St. Peter himself Especially if we believe Johannes de Parisiis his decision Sacerdotium dicitur Regale a Regno non hujus mundi sed coeli and the Glosse on Gratian from St. Cyprians resolution Christus actibus propriis Dignitatibus distinctis potestates utriusque discrevit Hinc est argumentum as the Glosse resolves quod Papa non habet utrumque gladium or at least it evidenceth that every private Christian being both a Spiritual King and Priest hath both swords as well as the Pope who upon this account can have no superiour Spiritual or Temporal Jurisdiction over them since Par in parem non habet Imperium To cloze up this Chapter I can discover upon serious disquisition nothing in all or any of the Evangelical Commissions or Titles given to the Apostles or Ministers of the Gospel that can invest St. Peter or any other Apostle Pope Bishop Presbyter Minister Priest with Supream Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction or Dominion much lesse advance the Pope to such a transcendent superiority over the whole Church all Bishops yea Emperors Kings themselves as now they exercise prescribe expect by their very Caeremoniale wherein they inform us Papa nemini omnino mortalium reverentiam facit assurgendo manifeste aut Caput inclinando aut detegendo Such is his Antichristian pride But on the other side the Emperor himself when he is to be crowned by the Pope ut primum videt Pontificem detecto capitc illum genu terram contingens veneratur iterum cum appropinquat ad gradus sedis genu flectit Demum ut ad Pontificis pedes pervenit illos in reverentiam Salvatoris who never received nor required any such reverence from Emperors or Kings devote osculatur Yea the Empresse Imperatrix Coronata mox osculatur pedem Pontificis Moreover the Emperor himself like a Groom of the Popes Stable or Footman must hold the Popes stirrop and lead his horse as Pepin did to Pope Stephen and Frederick to Pope Hadrian and as Constantine the Great did to Pope Silvester if we credit Mr. Harding If more Kings be present then the more worthy King must lead the Popes horse on the right side and the other on the left And if he be not pleased to ride then four of the greatest Kings whereof the Emperor to be one if present must bear the Popes chair on their shoulders and the Pope sitting therein At his feast the Emperor or greatest King must bring water to wash his hands they must carry the first dish of meat and set it on his Table At his Coronation two Cardinal Deacons must hold up the sides of his Pluviale or loose upper Garment and the Emperor or in his absence two of the chiefest Kings must hold up the tayl thereof If they happen to offend the Pope they must dance attendance barefooted at the Popes gates as did Henry the 4th the Emperor and that for divers dayes and nights and in a cold frosty snowy sharp season Or they must be whipped with rodds on their naked body as was Henry the 2d of England who received three stripes on his naked body from many religious persons and from others 4. or 5. who in great numbers resorted to his pennance Or else suffer the Pope to trample on their necks as Pope Alexander the 3d. did on the neck of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa justifying this his proud insulting over him by a blasphemous wresting of this sacred Text Thou shalt tread upon the Adder and the Basili●k And when the Emperor replyed He shewed this humility Non tibi sed Petro this insolent Pope retorted et Mihi et Petro Yea Caelestine the 3d. when he crowned Henry the 3d. Emperor and had set the Imperial Crown on his head which he bowed down to him the proud Pope sitting in his chair Statim pede in terram excussit presently struck the Crown off his head with his foot to the ground designans per hoc quod ipse Papa haberet potestatem coronandi Imperatorem si meruerat dejiciendi si demeruerit Antoninus averrs Non minor honor debetur Papae quam Angelis Vnde Papa recipit a fidelibus yea a Regibus et Imperatoribus Adorationes Prostrationes et Oscula pedum quod non permisit Angelus a Iohanne Evangelista fieri Therefore he learned this humility and prostration not from this good Angel but the Apostate Angel the Devil who usurped a power to give all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them to Christ if he would thus fall down unto him and worship him as Kings and Emperors do to the Pope who though he stiles himself Servus servorum Dei in his Epistles yet displayes himself to be Rex superbiae Rex Regum Dominus Dominorum in and by this his
