Azure Or. Purpure Tenne Sanguine Mich. Burgh sculp THat the Pope of Rome hath for some Ages last past pretended âa Soveraign Right over Christian Kings and Princes cannot be unknown to any who are acquainted with the writings of their most approved Authors the Decrees of their councils or the Instances of such uâped authority recorded in Histoâ for these Five Hundred years The judgment of their Licenced Auâors their Councils and their Laws ãâã this Case is excellently published by the Learned Pen of the Right Reârend Bishop of Lincoln and that the ãâã me Doctrine hath been by them generally received I can bring no greater proofs than their common practise recorded in History How many Emârours Kings and Soveraign Prinâ have been de Facto deposed by them âw many great Maslacres and private Murders have been Encouraged and Defended how many Tortures and unheard of Cruelties how âny Treasons and Damnable Conâacies to the subversion of whole kingdoms have been contrived and âme executed by Jesuits and other âissaries of Rome would require a large Volumn to relate I shall refer the Reader to a few Authors for his abundant satisfaction herein Thuanus Bodinus and the Exact Collections of Mr. Fowlis Nor was there any place felt the weight of ãâã Popes Iron Rod more grievous ân the Kingdom of England hence ãâã he wont to exact vast summes of âney which were as readily paid ãâã of what esteem it was with him ãâã may gather from the Character he gives when he calls it Puteus inexhaustus And from the time it hath pleased God to set us at liberty from their yoak and burden which neither we nor our Fathers were able to bear what Damning Censures and Violent Excommunications have been sent out against us what Secret and Horrible Plots have been contrived to destroy our Kings and Kingdoms I hope will never be forgot and all this not so much to reestablish here the Religion as the Authority which the Pope hath lost and the right of that Title which he claims to this Kingdom he thinks equal to that pretended from Constantin's Donation And to this purpose his Sub-Collector Polidore Virgil tels us that Ina was the first King who made this Kingdom of England Tributary to the Pope But he forgets himself pag. 740. where he saith Peter pence was given Pietatis Religionis Causa for Gods sake and therefore not by way of Homage and Subjection This Gift was continued by Offa Atulphus Canutus and Edward the Confessor who calls it the Kings Almes William the Conqueror alloweth this gift but renounceth all Obedience to the Pope as appears by Lanfranks Epist Pope Pascal 2. in a Letter to Hen. 1. calls this Donation Beati Petri Eleemosyna and Bishop Andrews tells us that it was an Alms given to a Hospital at Rome where they used to entertain Pilgrims out of England The Second pretended Title is from King John's Resignation of the Crown to Pandulphus the Popes Legate and receiving it again under Fealty and Homage and at the yearly Tribute of a Thousand Marks Which Title upon several accounts will appear invalid First as to matter of Fact Sir Thomas Moor who could not want all advantages of informing himself in affairs of this nature denies it his words are these Some Writers say that King John made England and Ireland Tributary to the Pope by the grant of a thousand Marks we dare surely say again that this is untrue and that all Rome neither can shew such a grant nor ever could and if they could it were right nought worth For never could any King of England give away the Realm to the Pope or make the Land Tributary if he would nor no such money is there paid nor never was These are the words of that great States-man who was no enemy to the Popes Authority But granting there was something done to this purpose in the presence of a few Peers and without the Consent of Any as Mat. Paris a Monk of Saint Albans who lived at that time acquaints us I shall take my Second Argument to invallidate this Title from the words of Sir Thomas Moor before cited for if they could
at Rome shew any such grant yet it were right nought worth for never any King of England could give away the Realm to the Pope nor make the Land Tributary if he would And herein agree the Learned Grotius Bodinus and other Lawyers and the Barons of this Realm were obliged by their Oaths Terras honores Regis omni fidelitate ubique servare cum eo contra inimicos alienigenas defendere To preserve together with the King the Territories and Honor of the King and to defend them against their Enemies and Forraigners And here with agrees the Command which the Conqueror laid upon all the Commons Firmiter pracipimus ut omnes liberi homines totius Regni praedicti sint fratres jurati ad Monarchiam nostram pro viribus suis facultatibus contra inimicos pro posse sue defendendum viriliter servandum i. e. We strictly Charge and Command that all Free-holders in all parts of our Kingdom shall be sworn Brethren Sworn to defend our Monarchy with their Persons and Estates to the utmost of their ability and manfully to preserve it by which it appears that the Commons were as well as the Lords bound to defend their Country against Usurpations and Invasions and we doubt not but the same English courage is to be found amongst their posterity which we find Recorded about the 44. year of Henry the third For when Pope Alexander the Fourth demanded a revocation of Adomar Bishop of Winchester because he was a Church-man as was urged and not subject to lay Censures who had been Banished by the joynt consent of the King Lords and Commons for his intolerable Insolence the Commons gave this resolute answer to the Popes demand Peter de Monford being Prolocutor Si Dominus Rex Regni Majores hoc vellent meaning Adomar's revocation from Banishment COMMVNITAS tamen ipstus ingressum in Angliam jam nullatenus sustineret Though the King and Peers of the Realm should declare for his return yet the Commons would by no meanes endure it Lastly no man can confer a greater Right upon another than what is in himself and that King John was an Usurper is evident from all Histories of that Age for Arthur of Brittain his Elder Brothers Son was Thirteen years of Age when John invaded the Throne but fearing that he might not be long quiet in his Possession whilst the Right Heir was alive he Murder'd his Nephew and imprison'd his Neice Elianor who survived him and this doth utterly make void his Right to dispose of what he had not right to keep And of what small account was this pretended Title not only the Resolution of the Commons afore mentioned but also this Letter Subscribed by all the Peers of England will abundantly manifest THe Reader may please to take notice that the Exemplar whence this was taken is in Corpus Christi Colledge Library in Oxon and Recorded by Mat. Westminster and Walsingham and mentioned by Parsons in his answer to the Lord Chief Justice Coks Reports but without any Reply pag. 266. cap. 11. and whereas in that the Names round the Armes are in an antient English letter the Graver being unacquainted with the Character for his own ease and more convenient Reading hath put them in the Modern Febr. 8. 1678.
