sometime the most flowrishing part of Christiand●me into the hands of the Turkes The lamentable deminishing decay and ruine of Christian religion the dreadfull encrease of Paganisme and power of the Infidells and miscroants and all by the practise and procurement of the Bishop of Rome chiefely as in the Histories and Chronicles written by the Bishop of Romes owne favourers and friends is to be seene and as well knowne unto all such as are acquainted with the said Histories The ambituous intents and most subtill drifts of the Bishops of Rome in these their practises appeared evidently by their bold attempts in spoyling and robbing the Emperours of their Townes Cities Dominions and Kingdomes in Italy Lombardie and Cisily of ancient right belonging unto the Empire and by joyning of them unto their Bishopricke of Rome or else giving them unto strangers to hold them of the Church and Bishop of Rome as in Capito and as of the chiefe Lords thereof in which tenure they hold the most part thereof even at this day by these ambitious and indeede trayterous meanes and spoyling of their Soveraigne Lords the Bishops of Rome of Priests and none other by right then the Bishops of one City and Diocesse are by false usurpation become great Lord of many Dominions mighty Princes yea or Emperours rather as claiming to have divers Princes and Kings to be their vassalls leigemen and subjects as in the same Histories written by their owne Familiars and Courtiers is to be seene And indeede since the time that the Bishops of Rome by ambition treason and usurpation archieved and attained to this height and greatnesse they behaved themselves more like Princes Kings and Emperours in all things then remained like Priests Bishops and Ecclesiasticall or as they would be called spirituall persons in any one thing at all For after this rate they have handled other Kings and Princes of other Realmes throughout Christendome as well as their Soveraigne Lords the Emperours usually discharging their subjects of their oath of fidelitie and so stirring them up to Rebellion against their naturall Prince whereof some examples shall in the last part hereof be notified unto you Wherefore let all good subjects knowing these the speciall instruments and ministers of the devill to the stirring up of all rebellions avoyd and flee them and the pestilent sugestions of such forraigne usurpers and their adherents and embrace all obedience to God and their naturall Princes and Soveraignes that they may enjoy Gods blessing and their Princes favour all peace quietnesse and security in this World and finally attaine through CHRIST our Saviour life everlasting in the World to come Which God the Father for the same our Saviour IESUS CHRIST his sake grant unto us all to whom with the holy Ghost bee all honour and glory World without end Amen The sixth SERMON NOw whereas the injuries oppressions raveny and tyranny of the Bishops of Rome usurping as well against their naturall Lords the Emperours as against all other Christian Kings and Kingdomes and their continuall stirring of subjects unto rebellions against their Soveraigne Lords whereof I have partly admonished you before were intollerable and it may seeme more than marvaile that any subjects would after such sort hold with unnaturall forraigne usurpers against their owne Soveraigne Lords and naturall Countrey It remaineth that I doe declare the meanes whereby they compassed these matters and so conclude this whole Treaty of due obedience and against disobedience and wilfull Rebellion You shall understand that by ignorance of Gods word wherein they kept all men specially the common people they wrought and brought to passe all these things making them beleeve that all that they said was true all that they did was good and godly and that to hold with them in all things against Father Mother Prince Countrey and all men was most meritorious And indeed what mischiefe will not blind ignorance lead simple men unto By ignorance the Jewish Clergy induced the common people to aske the delivery of Barrabas the seditious murtherer and to sue for the cruell crucifying of our Saviour CHRST for that he rebuked the ambition superstition and other vices of the High Priests and Clergy For as our Saviour CHRIST testified that those who crucified him wist not what they did so doth the holy Apostle Saint Paul say If they had knowne if they had not beene ignorant they would never have crucified the Lord of glory but they knew not what they did Our Saviour CHRIST himselfe also foreshewed that it should come to passe by ignorance that those who should persecute and murther his true Apostles and Disciples should thinke they did God acceptable sacrifice and good service as it al o is verified even at this day And in this ignorance have the Bishops of Rome kept the people of God specially the common sort by no meanes so much as by withdrawing of the word of God from them and by keeping it under the vaile of an unknowne strange tongue For as it served the ambitious humour of the Bishops of Rome to compell all Nations to use the naturall language of the City of Rome where they were Bishops which shewed a certaine acknowledging of subjection unto them so yet served it much more their crafty purpose thereby to keepe all people so blind that they not knowing what they prayed what they beleeved what they were commanded by God might take all their commandements for Gods For as they would not suffer the holy Scriptures of Church-service to bee used or had in any other language then the Latine so were very few eyen of the most simple people taught the Lords prayer the articles of the faith and the tenne Commandements otherwise then in Latine which they understood not by which universall ignorance all men were ready to beleeve whatsoever they said and to doe whatsoever they commanded For to imitate the Apostles phrase If the Emperours sub●ects had knowne out of Gods word their duty to their Prince they would not have suffered the Bishop of Rome to perswade them to forsake their Soveraigne Lord the Emperour against their oath of fidelity and to rebell against him onely for that hee cast Images unto the which Idolatry was committed out of the Churches which the Bishop of Rome bare them in band to bee heresie If they had knowne of Gods word but as much as the tenne Commandements they should have found that the Bishop of Rome was not onely a Traytour to the Emperour his liege Lord but to God also and an horrible blasphemer of his Majesty in calling his Holy word and Commandement heresie and that which the Bishop of Rom● tooke for a just cause to rebell against his lawfull Prince they might have knowne to bee a doubling and trebling of his most haynous wickednesse heaped with horrible impiety and blasphemy But lest the poore people should know too much hee would not let them have as much of Gods word as the tenne Commandements wholy and perfectly withdrawing
