sacrifices of the Church Thus farre Hosius You see the grounds that this good Bishop stood upon rather resolved to suffer any death or torture then by his consent to betray the truth or to condemne the guiltlesse He admonisheth freely and reproveth sharply hee offreth his life to the Princes pleasure It was farre from his meaning to revile the sacred Majesty or to stirre up any rebellion against this Hereticall Emperour which infringed the Canons of the Church without all regard of truth or equity to serve the humours of the Arrians and to wreck his anger on them all which yeelded not to that heresie Liberius a Bishop of Rome did neither excommunicate nor depose this wicked Emperour Constantius but appeared at his command and endured his pleasure to the admiration of the Arrians and the confirmation of the Christians as wee find in Athanasius Trahitur Liberius ad Imperatorem c. Liberius was haled to the Emperour when hee came to his presence hee spake freely Cease said hee O Emperour to persecute the Christians goe not about Liberius quo supra apud Athanas by any meanes to bring Hereticall impiety into the Church of God Wee are ready rather to endure any torture then to bee called Arrians Compell us not to become enemies unto Christ Eight not against him wee beseech you that hath bestowed the Empire upon you Render not impiety to him for his grace persecute them not which beleeve in him least you heare It is hard for thee to kick against the prick Act. 9.5 Oh would to God you did so heare it that you might as Paul did beleeve it Loe wee are at hand and come to your presence before our enemies the Arrians can invent any thing to informe against us wee hastened to come at your command though wee were assured of banishment that wee might abide our punishment before any crime could bee objected much lesse proved against us Whereby it may appeare that all Christians are as wee now bee undeservedly punished and the crimes laid to their charge not true but fained by sycophancy or deceitfull subtilty Thus spake Liberius and every man admired his resolution but the Emperour for answer commanded him to banishment Thus ●●e he Pope Liberius had not learned the language of his Suceesfour Pins Quintus when hee bellowed against our late Queene nor that principle of the Puritans that the inscriour Officer may use force of armes against the chiefe Magistrate that shall become a Tyrant Whereof every seditious Sectary will hee judge and not onely defend himselfe and his owne people but also any other that shall fly unto him Which opinion Lambertus Danaus avoucheth Polit.

Constant Banefica natura tua Domine beatissime Auguste Your mild nature most blessed Emperour agreeing with your gracious disposition and the mercy which floweth aboundantly from the fountaine of your Fatherly godlinesse doe assure us that wee shall obtaine our desire Wee beseech you not onely with words but also with teares that the Catholique Churches bee no longer oppressed with grievous injuries and endure intollerable persecutions and contumelies and that which is most shamefull even of our brethren Let your Clemency provide c.

Haec ille When it was objected against this reverend Father Athanasius that hee had incensed Constance the Religious Emperour of the West against Constantius Apolog. Athan ad Constant in the behalfe of the persecuted Christians hee cleared himselfe from that accusation in an Apologie to the said Emperour Constantius The Lord saith hee is my record and his annointed your brother that I never made mention of your Majesty for any evill before your brother of blessed memory that religious Emperour Constance I did never incite him against you as these Arrians doe stander mee but whensoever I had accesse unto him I recounted your gracious inclination God knoweth what mention I made of your godly disposition Give mee leave and pardon most courteous Emperour to speake the truth The servant of God Constance was not easily drawne to give care to any man in this kind I was never in such credit with him that I durst speake of any such matter or derogate from one brother before another or talke reprochfully of one Emperour in the hearing of another I am not so mad neither have I forgotten the voice of God which saith Carse not the King in thine heart and backbite not the mighty in the secrets of thy Chamber for the birds of the aire shall tell it and the winged foule shall bewray thee If then the things that bee spoken in secret against Princes cannot bee hid is there any likelihood that I in the Emperours presence and before so many as continually attended his person would say any thing otherwise then well of your Majesty Thus farre Athanasius This is sounder and seemelier doctrine for subjects then that which Henry Garnet and Robert Tesmond caught some Romish Catholike Gentlemen of England who imployed Thomas Winter into Spaine in the Moneth of December Ann. Dom. 1601. to make request to the Spanish King in the behalfe and names of the English Pope-catholikes L. Cooke in his speech at Garnets arraignment that hee would send an army hither into England for the advancement of their Catholique cause and to promise that the forces of the Papists here should bee ready to doe him service against the late Queene The selfe same Doctrine of sedition was published in the yeare after viz. Ann. Dom. 1602. by Gulielmus Bucauus a man of no meane esteeme among the Puritans and that at the earnest request of Beza and Goulartius the chiefest Ministers of the Church of Geneva if
