What armes giues thys mightie Monarch for seeing that his power is so great it must needes bee that his armes are riche and suche as may set foorth the glory and magnificence of his Papall estate Stupe I am very vnskilfull in blasing of armes for I was neuer herauld in all my life but yet I wyll tel you the best that I can The Pope giueth the twoo crosse keyes which hee calleeh falsly Saint Peters keies These keyes hee blaseth very richly in golde and siluer Scutchins thereby the rather to perswade the worlde that neither Emperour Kyng Queene high nor lowe riche nor poore can enter inâ—to the kingdome of heauen without the graunt of hys pasporte commission except hee open and vnlocke the gates By force of these keies he perswadeth the worlde that it lyeth in his power to open heauen gates to whome hee will and too shutte them against whome hee will to sende to heauen whom hee pleaseth and to throwe downe to hell againe whom he thinketh good This is a worthie knight Marshall I trowe and such a fellow as is too bee feared Is it anye maruell thoughe Kynges and Princes high and lowe rich and poore euen all in general haue trembled at the very name of y e Pope Thus playeth hee both the Iugler in castinge mystes before mennes eyes the rather to deceiue them wyth hys Diuelish deceptions and illusions and also the false Traitour to GOD in stealing away the hearts of the people from the Lord. Phile. Howe came he by these pretensed counterfait keies can you tell Stupe I will tell you As hee commeth by all thinges els that is by vsurpation by false wresting and wrything of Scriptures and a thousande such like indirect meanes which he hath coyned in the forge of his owne braine And the better to bring hys purpose about he pleadeth to haue receiued them from Saint Peter who as he falsly alleadgeth was Pope of Rome before him But least action bee commensed against him his Plee proued naught and him selfe a liar it behooueth him first of all to proue whether Peter was euer at Rome which is doubted of many nay clearely proued by as learned and famous menne as haue writte in all tongues that hee was neuer at Rome muche lesse Bishoppe or Pope there And hauing prooued that hee was there which hee can hardly doe it standeth hym then in hand to prooue that he was Pope there whiche neither hee nor all the worlde too helpe hym with besides shall neuer bee able too doe Then hauing prooued that hee was there and that hee was Pope there also yet helpeth it him not excepte hee can prooue that Peter gaue it him eyther by wyll Deede of gyfte Feaftmente or some other lawefull graunte whereby hee maie wyth good conscience inioye that whiche both Christe Iesus the blessed Apostle Saint Peter and all the reste of the Apostles in generall did alwayes refuse Or yf that hee canne not dooe thys lette hym then shewe vs by what other hidden meanes it may come vnto him whether by lineal discent by hereditarie possession or by what other conueiance And hauing proued al this yet helpeth it
him nothing at all vnlesse hee canne prooue that Peter had suche large power and authoritie as hee pretendeth by these keies These thynges if eyther hee or a nye of his whelpes can prooue vnto mee than wyll I say more vnto them in the meane time I rest perswaded that hee is so farre from hauing any power in or ouer the Churche of God vppon earth by reason of these keyes or any thing els that hee is not so muche as a member of the same But notwythstandinge I confesse that Peter receyued the Spirituall Keyes of the kingdome of heauen that is the power of bindyng and loosing of sins togeather with the power and gyfte of expoundinge interpretynge and explaning of the holy Scriptures to the people And not onely did Peter receiue these keyes but also all the reste of the Apostles wythe hym and in them all other faithfull Preachers Pastours Doctours and Ministers of the Gospell as effectually as fully and as amplie as the Apostles themselues Phile. What is meant by these keies Stupe A key yee knowe is an instrument that men vse to open and to shut withall Therefore is this Metaphor borrowed thereof by which keyes is meant potestas soluendi ligandi the power of bynding and loosing as I tolde you before in the Page precedent Phile. How is binding loocing perfourmed Stupe By preaching of the lawe and the Gospel as for example When the lawe is preached and the fearefull threates and comminations therof thundred foorth against any impenitent sinner then may hee bee saide to be bounden and his sinnes to bee retained And when the glad tidings of the Gospel is preached too the penitent and contrite sinner then may he be saide to be loosed and his sinnes to be remitted Again when any one ariseth against the Maiestie of GOD and rebelleth against his lawes and commaundements without eyther remorse of conscience feare of God intention of amendement or repentaunce at all this man is bounden and his sinnes retayned But vpon the other side if hee sinne of frailtie and afterwarde truelie repenteth amendeth and turneth too the Lorde wythall hys hearte wyth an intention neuer to committe the same offence againe and constantly beléeuing in Iesus Christe trusting too bee saued and pardoned by his death then is hee loosed and hys sinnes cleerely put away and remitted In this sorte and in this case hath euerie faithfull Pastour and Preacher of the Gospell full absolute and Plenarie power too binde the impenitent sinner that is to pronounce hym by the warraunt of Gods worde to be bound and to loose him agayne that is to pronounce hym by the woorde of God too bee loosed when hee repenteth and turneth to the Lorde with all his hearte as I haue saide Thus ye see the power of the keies that is of bynding and loosing is restrayned within the Pale and wall of Gods woorde and not in suche a lauish maner and raunging sorte as pleasethe Magister noster our greate Master the Pope too determine For if it were true or coulde bee prooued that the Pope hadde this Plenarie power too bynde and loose whome hee would wythout the warraunt of the woorde of GOD then woulde I not blame them yf all the worlde wente after him and not onely worshypped hym as a manne but as a GOD vppon earthe Is it any maruaile though hee hath withe thys Sweete Bayte and venemous Hooke drawen vntoo hym selfe the moste Kingdomes and Nations of the woorlde But nowe GOD bee thanked they beeing better instructed in the woorde of GOD and seeynge hys horrible Blasphemie Superstition Idolatrie and euen Diuelrie it selfe haue the most of them made Defection and shrunke from hym And dayly doe they fall from his Antichristian kingdom and the Lord graunt that more and more may fall from hym euery day and houre tyll there be none left with him that God may be glorified and they eternally saued in the daye of the Lord Iesus Phile. Mee thinke that menne might easily spie out his doings being so detestable as they bee and hauing spied them out myght then eschewe them might they not Stupe Yes And God bee praysed so they doe dayly Englande hathe spied out his knaueries and therefore hath spewed hym out Scotlande hath done the like Fraunce hath abandoned hym Germanie hath vtterly forsaken hym Yea and part of his owne countrie of Italie seeing hys abhominations haue and doe dayly fall from hym with infinite other places Countries and Nations which for breuities sake I omit Phil. It cānot otherwise be but hauing the woorde of God amongest them they must needes finde out his knaueries being so grosse that a man with halfe an eye as they vse to say may easily perceiue them Stupe You saye the trueth But if the worde of God shoulde once bee set a broch and come to light then he knoweth it verye well his kingdome of ignoraunce and darknesse woulde soone decay and come to naught And therefore to the end that he may the better maynteine his kingdome of ignoraunce hee clappeth vppe the Byble forbidding all men whatsoeuer to reade it or once to looke one worde vpon it and that vppon payne of damnation saying further that none ought to looke vpon it but he and his rabbynes or such others as he shal license and authorize therto by his bulles of dispensation This is cleane contrary to the doctrine of our sauiour Christ who biddeth vs searche the Scriptures saying Scrutamini Scripturas eae sunt enim qui testificantur de me Whiche is Searche the scriptures for those are they that beare witnesse of me In an other place he saith Scrutamini scripturas in eis enim speratis vitam eternam habere That is search the scriptures for in them you hope to haue eternal life This is contrary to the example of the Birreans in the Actes of the Apostles who searched the scriptures dayly to see whether the things preached by the Apostles were true or not Nowe whether it bee better to obeye Christe who commandeth vs to search the scriptures or the Pope who forbiddeth vs the sight of them iudge you And to the ende that he may bee sure to keepe the worlde in Cymmeriis tenebris in palpable darknesse grosse ignoraunce stil for ignorance he calleth the mother of deuotion whereas indeede it may well bee called the mother of damnatiō he not only locketh vp the byble vnder strong lockes keyes but also turneth it into a straunge tongue contrary to the doctrine both of our sauiour Christe his blessed Apostle Paul who commandeth that al thinges be done in the Church to edification in a knowen tongue also to the example of the Prymitiue and Apostolicall Church who euer vsed to haue the bible and other diuine bookes in the mother tongue which they vnderstoode And as though this restraint were not badde ynough he giueth in charge that
for youres And notwythstandyng all thys submyssion if they please him not well hee wyll not sticke to treade and crample vppon them lyke dogges As wee reade of a certayne Emperour whose neck the Pope proudly stampe vpon as though he had bin a beast There was also another pope who vsed to makkings Emperours his blocks to stand vpon when he mounted vpon his horse Some kings must hold his styrrops other some on either side one at the least must lead his horse by the bridle thorow thicke and thinne And thus maketh hee all men both Emperours kings princes euen all in generall subiecte vntoo him in the meane time he himselfe beeyng subiect to none And yet notwithstanding there is nowe neither emperor king nor prince that dares mute against him but him they obey as sole lord of heauen earth Whatsoeuer he commaundes they dare not but fulfil In so much that if he command them to make warre against the couÌ„trey people or nation theÌ„ gather they their troups legions of armed men to gether forwarde they go sacking spoyling and burning both cities towns countries And imbruing their hands in the blood of poore innocentes they slaye and kill euen all without mercy man woman and child putting all too the edge of the swoorde most cruelly too beholde And this they must doe Why Because the Pope commands theÌ„ so to do whose commandement whether it bee wrong or ryght aboue all thynges in the Worlde is to bee obeyed in euerye poynt without exception Phil. This is an intollerable slauery and seruilitye I maruell that euer christian princes will suffer theÌ„selues so to be abused and that of a greasie prelate Stupe Nay he proceedeth further as though the former abuses were not sufficyent hee maketh the lawes the Courtes and Offices of kynges and Prynces subiect vnto hym So that if any man dislyke of the lawes Courtes of their Prynces he maye frankely and freely make his appeale to the pope and Court of Rome By which meanes hee raketh in moneye not a lyttle euerye yeere Phile. Is it possible that princes will put vp this iniurie at his hands and not bee reuenged I praye you how doth hee behaue himselfe towardes them that they rise not vppe against him and pull him out of hys kingdom by the eares Stu. He feedes their humors he speaketh pleasant things vnto them hee flattereth fawneth vpon them in such sort as he makes them beleeue the moone is of green cheese and so it is indeede if he say so But for feare of the woorst and for further safegarde of hys personne hee entreth intoo league with all suche kings princes of euery couÌ„trey as are of any great force power least happily they might indanger his estate incase they shoulde resist his Maiesties person And if it happen that at anye tyme hee want money and knoweth not howe to come by any then sendeth he foorth hys Embassadours his Legates his Suffraganes and hys Cardynals into all landes thorow whose diligent industry he setteth kings and princes together by the eares and beyng at bloody warres amongst themselues then wil he be sure to take parte with him that is the stronger be it wrong or right that maketh no matter for of wrong he can make right Alwayes prouyded that in all spoyles prayes bootyes and escheates he haue the greatest share for that is the thinge that hee desires and the onely marke that hee shootes at Thus hee feedeth hymselfe wyth the blood of the poore innocent Lambes contrarye both to the law of God and his own calling which is to saue blood and not to shed innocent blood Phile.
