of Rome and stand amazed at it contrary to the intention of him which gaue it and him which craued it And indeed hast thou no pitty to see the word of Christ so racked being now made a snare to the simple a laughing-stocke to the prophane and blasphemy to the meredulous But let vs proceed on a little further vnder this I ordaine thee Monarch both of things temporal and things spirituall soveraigne king Bishop together of spiritual to controle the old and new Testament to dispense against the Gospell and against the Apostle to make new articles of faith to be aboue all councels and when thou traylest men by thousands into hell I would haue no man question thee why dost thou this Of temporall to dispose of all the world to distribute it at thy pleasure as if it were thine owne heritage to raigne over kings to arraigne indite them to depose them to absolue their subiects from their oath of allegiance to expose their estates for a pray their persons to murther to bestow their kingdomes on whom it shal please thee and lastly to change their tenures to fealtie or convert their territories to thine owne demaines Pitty will here stricke thee into honour though hardly canst thou beleeue it But the Iesuites boast consists in this that of this they are not ashamed The bookes of Mariana of Eudaemon Iohannes of Becanus of Suarez and of a thousand others doe swell with these assertions the Cardinals make them authentique Bellarmine writing against the King of England Baronius against the Venetians And the Pope menaceth with fire the edicts of our Parliament which burne them the Sorbone with excommunications if she rest not contented with them Poore deluded Christian thou never couldest well imagine a protection or multiplication whereby to reape more profit then an hundred from one loe here thou maist gaine aboue a thousand frō one stone and at this day this ●an article of faith and such a one that to defend it and overshadow it there is nothing which the court of Rome leaues vnattempted so that to retaine it it passeth not greatly to forgoe halfe her controversies yea to renounce the holy Scriptures and the articles of all the Creeds Wouldst thou fame see an experiment hereof thou good Catholike Goe confesse thy selfe vnto a Iesuite say vnto him father I am in some scruple whether I may purchase my salvation in the Church of Rome or not I doubt of Purgatory of prayer for the dead because I haue not evidently read them in the Scriptures After hee hath checkt thee for reading of them who enforceth thee saith he to pray for thē and indeed you shall never see Iesuits in places of buriall and in the Abbayes which they possesse they little regard the intention of the first founders but convert the profit to other vses Another saith vnto him Father I haue no devotion to pray vnto Saints because I see no example thereof neither in the olde nor new Testament After hee hath demaunded of thee who in Gods name hath taught thee so much it is not free for thee will he say either to pray or not to pray vnto them if thou wilt who wil so nee●ly presse cōtrole thee pray to God abide in the Church Likewise of the Images dost thou not obserue that in our Churches wee haue few or none and those we haue are plaine and little garni hed But let an Huguenote come and say thus vnto them I would willingly accommodate my selfe vnto you many reasons and much more interests doe carry mee on but I cannot beleeue this reall presence lesse can I bee perswaded to adore the host least thereby I fall into Idolatry to how many of such kind of men haue they said stand not vpon that that beleefe will come to you at leasure In Spaine it selfe they obserue not men so narrowly for some adore the host standing Turne a new lease and albeit that thou beest a good Catholike yet if thou saist vnto them Father I doubt somewhat of the preheminence of the Pope and of that Monarchy whether it hath so large an extent as some make it to haue these tearmes of his being Gods vicegerent of his omnipotency doe wound my conscience they are straight in an vproare an inexpiable blasphemie and an Anatheme If thou thinkest but to dull the edge of this blade or bend this temporall sword if thou receavest not the thrust of it with thy naked breast thou art a dead man hadst thou saith enough to remooue mountaines from one place to another hadst thou as much charitie as to suffer thy selfe to be burnt for thy brethren yet the Ocean were it turned all into holy water could not expiate thee there is no peace for thee in this life nor remission in the world to come 7 This article notwithstanding cannot be drawne from this place and besides ☞ to it all that which followeth i● the Scripture is contrary for betweene these words Tu es Petrus c. and Paulus Quintus is Monarch of things both temporall and spiritua what depthes haue they to fill how many Theses to prooue and syllogismes to compose as first that Peter was at Rome that there hee constituted his Apostolicall Sea that as being Bishop of Rome Christ conferred vpon him that Monarchy that hee ●aue him authorititie to bequeath it to his successors and that this Pope which now liveth succeeds him in his Chaire his vocation and his doctrine of which they shall never bee able sufficiently to confirme the least And as for the Scripture it is altogether contrary vnto it For cōcerning the spirituall power Christ intending that which we here handle cuts of the question which arose from the ambition of the sonnes of Zebedie Mat. 20.26 whosoever will be great amongst you let him be your Minister c.
