plus in the matter Thou canst smooth and sooth These be the fruites of Papists thou canst with the Satyre out of one mouth blow both whotte and colde thou knowest well enough the fashion and frailtie of this Court Omnia Roma cum precio thou hast vnguentum rubrum to grease them withall if néede bee thou hast enough and enough to pacifie this fray and to saue thy selfe harmelesse Therefore be not dismayde sat supérque habes and say with Niobe tutum me copia fecit Hauing thus spoken he went vp and downe with a pleasant and merrie countenaunce couering as well as he could all his griping griefes and patheticall affections with an outward colour of great courage spirite and securitie Yet by no meanes he could driue away the cogitation out of his heart but euer he hammered and hacked vpon it and especially how he should the next day answere the matter brought in question Therefore he disputed pro con with himselfe and armed his heade so strongly and bombasted his braines so egregiouslie that his force seemed impregnable and hee thought himselfe able in disputation to encounter with the best doctour and profoundest Coriphaeus in all Italie Well the day and hower was come wherein he should draw néere towardes the Consistorie wherefore he got all his tackling and furniture about him and went his way As soone as hee and the rest of the Cardinals were sate the mightie Maiestie of the high potentate Gregorie came in glittering and glistering in his pontificall and princely robes fortified with no smal companie of men and palfraies Plaine and euident tokens of Antichrist and sat downe in a stately and emperiall chaire there erected and prepared for him after that he had well setled himselfe he began this solemne oration Reuerend Cardinals my owne déere and first begotten children The Popes oration fit and worthie pastours of my Catholique and Apostolique Church may it please you to the health and securitie of my authoritie to the praise and honor of God See his pride and ambitiō he putteth himselfe before God and to the encrease and aduancement of our Romane faith and religion to consider with me and to iudge vprightly of these three points following First whether the Porphyrie chaire vsed for the triall and proofe of our virility The points to be decided in the Parliament is to be preserued as hitherto it hath bene or else to be destroyed and abolished Secondly whether the marble image néere Colosseo that sheweth Pope Ioane lying in her trauell is to be kept as an ancient monument or to be defaced and broken in péeces as a ridiculous and odious spectacle Thirdly whether the English fugitiues are to be retained and further maintained at our great charges or else without any longer delay to be vtterly expelled and exiled They all answered it pleaseth vs. The Pope then went forward on this maner The popes iudgement in the first point Most noble Cardinals I will first of all relate vnto you my sacred and Apostolicall censure concerning these questions and then I will permit you franckly and fréely to propose your iudgements also My censure concerning the hollow chaire of Porphirie stone is affirmatiue and this that it is no longer to be kept and preserued as proper to the Romane chaire of blessed Peter prince of the Apostles but forthwith to be defaced and destryed as a thing too base and contemptible far vnworthie of our high calling and reuerend iurisdiction The reasons that moue me are these First it is no small defamation and disgrace to Christ his chiefe vicar and pastour to him whose power is diuine and emperious farre aboue any mortall man to yéeld himselfe to so vnséemely and vile athing Sabellicus Enneadis 9. lib. 1. ab vltimo Diacono attrectantur as to suffer another man attrectare genitalia at his creation Secondly it is a renouation and continuall demonstration of the memorie of Pope Ioane who hath brought more infamie contempt and detestation to our sanctified chaire and religion then now can or euer I feare me will be well wiped or taken away Thirdly the defacing and abolishing of it will restraine hereticall and contumelious tongues aswage the calamities of these our times quiet the controuersies of religion and restore a more true and Ecclesiasticall peace vnto vs. Now let me heare what your opinion is Conuenimus omnes said the Cardinals your holinesse hath spoken nothing but that which is for the glorie of the blessed chaire of Peter for the benefite of the ancient Catholike faith and for the assurance of our safeties and dignities And what say you Cardinall Allen quoth the Pope Vox tua raucescit are you mute and silent How like you these suppositions The Cardinall with all mildnesse and modestie thus answered Conuenimus omnes We agrée altogither they are pure and Catholike fit and famous decrees and canons for your Apostolical seate and for the ancient absolute and full perfect faith of the high citie of Rome Perge perge go on go on quoth the Pope you haue more to say I am sure Since it so pleaseth your sanctimonie said the Cardinall Libentissimè pergam I will go forward with all my heart Right well may I vse the words of the learned father S. Hierome In Epist. Haec est fides beatissime Papa quam in catholica discimus Ecclesia in qua si minùs peritè aut parùm cautè forte aliquid positum est emendari cupimus à te qui Petri fidem sedem tenes This is the faith ô most blessed father which we learne in the catholike Church wherein if any thing peraduenture be put not skilfully nor aduisedly we desire to be reformed of you who vsurpe the seate and faith of Peter For if the holy mother church of Rome False vngodly opinions be so founded built and grounded vpon Peter Prince of the Apostles that the gates of hell shall not preuaile against it and if Peters successour and Christs chiefe steward hath the keyes of heauen giuen him to binde and loose to adde and subtract to multiplie and diuide at his celestiall will and pleasure then who may vnder paine of damnation gainesay his heauenly sentence and opinion and without his great curse and thundering bull derogate any one iot from his faith and religion A notable Parasite If your omnipotent authoritie most gracious father be as farre aboue Princes and Emperours as the sunne is aboue the moone and aboue the Angels of God without whom there is no saluation then how may we or dare we once spurne or maligne at you and reiect your diuine and infallible sentence in any matter whatsoeuer You are the spirituall man that iudgeth all things you your selfe are iudged of none and although you be found vnprofitable and remisse in your workes hauing no regard to your owne saluation This was the detestable doctrine of Pope Boniface an English

Catholique Apostolique autentique and mother Church become an harlot corrupt and putrified Are all our ornaments orders and ceremonies but toies trash and trumperies all our Saints and pictures but dumbe stockes and foolerie all our pompe pride and prodigalitie contemptible and odious Is our antiquitie our vniuersalitie and vnitie whereupon we haue bragged and boasted so exceedingly now vilified detestable and nothing worth And are our images heathenish but siluer gold Psal 135. the works of mens hands Haue they mouthes and speake not eyes and see not eares and heare not And are all we like

swords authoritie ouer heauen and hell to let set bind and loose and do what please him and cannot with one bare mischance be harmed or discredited Note the braue and lusty speeches of a stout papist Nay he hath wealth and riches treasure iewels and what not and is farre happier better then Peter was who said Aurum argentum non est mihi Siluer and gold I haue none What is there then that can diminish his glorie cracke his credite or impaire his holinesse An semper feriet quodcúnque minabitur arcus Will euerie bow that is bent strike the marke And euery little blast subuert the Roman faith No no it is farre otherwise Remember that the Popes heretofere haue had as badde or rather worse chances then this and yet there was no contradiction to them nor any derogation to their religion Remember the actions of Pope Hildebrand of Clement the eight of Innocentius the third Remember the opinions of Iohn 22. of Liberius many others I channe Baleus de illustr scrip Br●an Remember the madge Howlet that sate vpon the middle beame of saint Martins Temple two dayes together where the Pope called Balthasar with his prelates sate in councell flickering about with his shreeching noise and casting his broad eyes directly vpon Balthasar Acts Monuments T●m 1. fol. 705. 706. who would not be beaten away with libets or clubbes or crying noise till with much cudgelling at him being sore beaten he fell downe dead before them all Remember also the straunge sights the monstrous births and the signes in the elements that haue beene in Rome and in other Countreys where the Romane faith is professed What for all this Is our Pope preiudiced or his holinesse abhorred Is our religion changed our pompe diminished our orders dissolued or anie one iote of our ceremonies abrogated O worthie proctour for the pope No no the Pope is too mightie to haue repulse of earthly creatures and Rome is too strong to be blowne downe with so light a blast Hic Petrus haec Petra Here is the faith here is

at the Moone-shine in the water Consider yet further of the matter and thou shalt not so lightly slippe it ouer The Pope was straungely afrighted No small matter Where in his solemne procession A shrewed peece of worke How came it to passe by beholding the marble image of Pope Ioane O this is gall to me The Cardinall caused the Pope to passe throgh the forbiddē streete and wormewood to English Catholiques But how did it chance that he had not refrained that way as the Popes manner hath a long whiles beene O it was by my meanes conscientia mille testes I cannot nor may not denie it I neuer thought any such thing would haue happened vnto him yea I thought the refraining of the Popes that way to haue beeae causelesse and but méere vanitie How shall I pacifie this tumult How shall I pull my necke out of this coller With what face shall I looke vpon the reuerend holinesse of Gregorie What opinion will he now conceiue of me that hath loued me tenderly fauoured me especially and honourablie promoted me to the dignitie of a Cardinall And what will he thinke also of my good countrymen whom he harboureth succoureth and maintaineth at his great charges Veh misero mihi quanta de spe decidi I was neuer in this extremitie and I neuer kindled such firebrandes of troubles before Shall I flie that would be a most horrible discredite Shall I hide away that is dastardly Shal I confesse the fault that sauours of base simplicitie See the spirit of a Romish champion Shall I recant and hasten backe againe to my natiue Countrey what thinke not of that be rather thine owne butcher Shall I beare a bolde face and manly resolution and feare no colours Oh this is the way Hic labor hoc opus est here goeth the hare away Procéede and feare not Thou art a Cardinall O noble

passions and millions of griefes and comming into the Popes court as he had beene accustomed was noted and maligned at by many yea verie heardly and heauily taken yet he went forward not forgetting Didoes lesson Ineid 4. Degeneres animos timor arguit And hied to the swéete side of his good Lord and master the Pope fully determining to trie the vttermost of the chauece and what would befall vnto him He found the Pope as his good lucke was in reasonable good temper and recouered of his former agonie The great studie of the Pope that he vseth yet neither occupied in the pulpit I warrant you nor in the studie of Theologie nor feeding his shéepe as Christ commaunded Peter
