were forbidden and condemned by Fathers Emperors and Councils and how all that the Papists can say for them is answered then read the book of Homilies against peril of of idolatry for I know none that hath written more soundly fully and plainly thereof C.

Yes to the right worshipping of God there is required a reverend use of the means of Gods worship and service the which are sincere prayer preaching hearing of Gods Word and the use of the Sacraments Concerning prayer it must be made with understanding 1 Cor. 14. vers 15. Contrary hereunto is their praying in an unknown tongue In the purest Churches for the space of Eight hundred years at the 〈◊〉 Divine Prayer was never performed in a 〈◊〉 unknown to the people Perk. 2 v●● ●57 Concerning the Sacraments they do not rightly administer and receive them but have added and taken from them at their pleasure The helps and furtherances of Gods Worship are specially two Vows and Fasting The Papists make these to be parts of Gods Worship yea they make fasting to be a work of satisfaction to Gods Justice for the temporal punishment of sin and a meritorious work Rhem. on 1 Cor. 15.

DIALOGUE 9. C. Do they teach and practise any thing contrary to the Commandments following M. Yes The third Commandment concerneth the glorifying of Gods Name in the whole course of our life They teach men to give the glory which is proper to God to creatures as to the Virgin Mary the Pope c. They teach it lawful to swear by Saints and not by God only They maintain perjury because they teach with one consent that one being examined may answer doubtfully against the direct intention of the Examiner framing another meaning to himself in the doubtfulness of his words As for example A man is asked whether he were not such a day at the Mass in such a place They affirm that he may say no and swear unto it although he were at it reserving this to himself not with purpose to reveal it to the Examiner whereas in the very Law of nature he that takes an Oath should swear according to the intention of him that hath power to Administer an Oath and that in Truth Judgment and Righteousness Jer. 4.2 They are also egregious blasphemers of Gods Name They have uttered most horrible blasphemies concerning the Scriptures See Doctor Willets four Pillars of Papistry pag. 49. to 61. The fifth Commandment requireth subjection and obedience to Superiors and namely to Kings and Princes who are Supream and next under Christ Rom. 13.1 2. 1 Pet. 2.13 They teach that the Pope is Supream head over all persons c. that he oweth no subjection to Kings and Princes but hath power to make them and to put them down at his pleasure The Pope and his Clergy will not be in subjection to them but rather exercise Lordship over them The Popes Supremacy was unheard of and unknown till the year of Christ Six hundred It was first broached by the murthering Emperor Phocas at the ambitious desire of the proud Boniface the third about the year Six hundred and seven And since that time the Popes have shewed their intolerable pride in their behavior towards Princes The Pope in his writings calls himself Servus servorum Dei The servant of Gods servants but in his actions he will be Dominus dominorum the Lord of Lords wherein he plainly sheweth himself to be that man of sin and Antichrist which exalteth himself above all that is called God 2 Thes 2.4 This may be shewed by many examples Alexander the Third did tread upon the neck of the Emperor Frederick the First blasphemously abusing the words of the Psalm Thou shalt tread upon the Lyon Adder c. Acts and Monuments p. 185. Pope Celestine crowned Henry the fifth with his foot with his foot spurned it off again ibid. 221. The Papists also teach and maintain disobedience to Parents for they teach that it is lawful for the Child being a Roman Catholick to deny his duty to his Parents being Hereticks And as the Scribes and Pharisees taught that if the Children did bring to their Corban that is their Treasury though they neglected their Parents yet they were free so they teach children to give that they have to Monasteries c. wherewith they should relieve their Parents Bucanus Common places pag. 901. DIALOGUE 10. C. Do they teach and practise any thing contrary to the sixth Commandment M. Yes the sixth Commandment forbiddeth us to kill or hurt any man They teach it lawful for Subjects not only to rise up against but even to kill their Princes the Lords Anointed if they be excommunicated by the Pope and that it is a meritorious work so to do This with other such like Devilish Doctrines and the Authors thereof are to be seen more at large in Bucanus Common places concerning Magistrates and in Master Taylor on Psal 32. pag. 208 209. C. Can you name any that have put it in practice M. Yes Pope Gregory the seventh called Hildebrand hired one to kill the Emperor A Monk poisoned King John Henry the third King of France was slain by a Frier Yea Pope Sixtus Quintus highly commended the Frier for doing it Henry the fourth of France was also slain by a Papist Many of them yea of their Priests and Jesuites have attempted to kill our late Queen Elizabeth and our King James with all his royal issue and that after a most barbarous manner These Popish Traytors may very fitly be compared to that base and unnatural bird the Cuckow who though he be hatched fed and brought up by a little bird yet he devoureth both the natural young ones and also the dam her self C. Are there none that teach and practise the killing of Princes but Papists M. This Doctrine was never maintained by any Hereticks besides the Papists as our most Christian and Learned King hath shewed in a speech of his uttered in the Parliament house in the year One thousand six hundred and five by occasion of the Gunpowder Treason And herein you may see how contrary they are both to the Doctrine and practice of the Prophets Christ and his Apostles who both taught and practised subjection even to wicked and Idolatrous Princes and did never so much as attempt to hurt them As for example Saul was a wicked King forsaken of God and one that did most cruelly persecute David who was anointed to be King after him At two several times the Lord

delivered Saul into his hands so that he might without any resistance have killed him yea Abishai desired that he might strike him but once with his spear But what said David Touch him not for who can lay his hand on the Lords anointed and be guiltless Nay his heart smote him for cutting off the skirt of Sauls Robe 1 Sam. 24.4 5 6 c. chap. 26.8 9 c. And afterwards when one brought tidings to David that he had slain Saul what did David Did he commend him for it as the Pope did the Frier No he caused him to be slain for his labor 2 Sam. 1.14 15 16. Now what think you of David C. He was a man after Gods own heart indued with the Spirit of God M. It is most true and therefore the Papists which both teach and practise the contrary are indued with the spirit of Satan S. Paul saith that to forbid marriage and meats is a Doctrine of Devils 1 Tim. 4.1 3. If that be a Doctrine of Devils then much more is this In the sixth Commandment is also condemned all cruelty yet herein they exceed and excel all others And this is a special note of a false Religion and yet this is one special means whereby Popery is upheld See Taylor on Psal 32. pag. 204. to 208. Solomon describes an harlot by three properties cruelty treachery and flattery Prov. 2.16 17 18. As a dishonest and unchast woman is thus discerned so is a corrupt Religion And these are very badges and Ensigns of the Whore of Babylon Where they get the sword they shew all cruelty where their power faileth they work by treachery where this speedeth not they will deceive by flattery and hypocrisie See the Preface to Dr. Willets Treatise on the Epistle of S. Jude pag. 2 3 c. DIALOGUE II. C. What do they teach and practise contrary to the seventh Commandment M. They hold and teach that Marriage is unlawful in the Clergy and that the Marriage of Ministers is the worst sort of Incontinence and Fornication Rhem. on 1 Cor. 7.9 Sect. 8. Whereas Marriage is the remedy against Fornication 1 Cor. 7.2 They allow the●● Priests to keep harlots rather then to Marry so they do it closely for this Caveat is given them Si non castè tamen cautè If thou canst not live chastly thou mayst keep a whore warily And what uncleanness and filthiness hath been committed by many Popes and Popish Priests all the world knoweth A tast hereof I will give you in a few Examples Pope John the thirteenth was an Adulterer and an incestuous person Being found without the City with another mans wife he was so wounded of her husband that within eight days after he died Acts and Monuments pag. 143. Pope Sixtus the fourth erected at Rome a Stews of double abomination not only of women but also of men Ibid. 6. pag. 667. Alexander the sixth committed incest with his own daughter Lucretia Guicciardine lib. 3. Innocentius the eighth had divers bastards and boasted of them See Willet on Jude pag. 188. They had one Pope that did beget no child but was begotten with child and brought it forth in going on procession and that was Pope John the eighth who proved to be Jone and not John This they deny but there was of late years written a book by M. Alexander Cooke and another writen in Latine by a stranger wherein they prove and that out of Popists Writers that there was such a one For they sufficiently prove themselves to be men indeed in begetting Bastards It is an old saying It must needs be a holy Procession where the Devil bears the Cross so it must needs be an holy chast and pure Church that hath such unholy impure unchaste and filthy heads as many Popes have been And as were the heads such was the rest of the body Their Monasteries and Monkish Cells were detected of most infamous Incests Fornications c. as doth appear in the inquisition made in the time of King Henry the eighth Praefat. Balaei de actis Roman Pontif. See a little book lately set forth called the Friers Chronicle Contrary to the eighth Commandment are the Popes Bulls Indulgences and pardons for sin and all for mony They sell such things as are not to be sold namely remission of sins and the merits by which men may come to the Kingdom of Heaven But no peny no Pater noster Synopsis Papismi Controversie 14. part 3. Popes Bulls and Indulgences wherein is given absolution from the guilt of temporal punishment were not known to the Catholick Church for One thousand years and more after Christ Perk. 2. vol. 589. And herein they maintain licenciousness for what need one care what sin he committeth when for a little mony he may have a Pardon for it One Roger Holland sometime a Papist saith thus I was of this your blind Religion having liberty under your Auricular Confession I made conscience of sin but trusted to the Priests absolution he also for mony doing some pennance for me which after I had given I cared no further what offences I did no more then he cared after he had my mony whether he fasted with bread or water for me or no Acts and Monuments pag. 2040. DIALOGUE 12. C. Shew me also I pray you what they teach and practise contrary to the two last Commandments M. The ninth Commandment condemns all lying and dissimulation rayling mocking c. They maintain equivocation which as the Secular Priests have said Quodlibet 2. Art 4. pag. 6. you may term in plain English lying and cogging They are notorious lyers and slanderers raylers and mockers Willet on Jude pag. 195. 205. 212. They have falsified mens writings putting in and putting out what they please as is to be seen in their Index expugatorius See Perk. 2 vol. page 489 c. There have been in times past games appointed for lying If there were any such now the Papists would carry the Whet-stone from all the Hereticks in Christendom The tenth Commandment condemneth Original Corruption and the very evil thoughts and lusts of the heart without consent They teach that concupiscence in it self is not sin These are the very words of the Council of Trent This concupiscence which the Apostle sometime calleth sin the holy Synod declareth that the Catholick Church did never understand to be called sin because it is truly and properly sin in the regenerate but because it cometh of sin and enclineth unto sin If any man think the contrary let him be accursed Sess 5. cap. 1. de pec orig Wherein they both decree against the Apostle himself Rom. 7.23 and also they gain say themselves for if this concupiscence boil of Original sin as out of a fountain and that is damnable It followeth that concupiscence or lust is also sin before God and doth deserve condemnation They say that in the regenerate it is venial But this is an undoubted principle that all sins in themselves and
