Bishop Bonner's butchers hands You boast of your Loyalty to our present King and his Father But what you have done like Loyal Subjects did it proceed out of a Loyal Principle or out of Necessity Was it Faith that acted you or Fate What you have done well was it not for want of opportunity to do worse or for want of a Popes Bull which tolerates and commands Rebellion If Loyalty to an Heretick Prince especially when he is declared Excommunicate be your Conscience and Faith and Principle then abhor and renounce your Pope and Church which teach you another Lesson For says your Lateran Council under Pope Innocent the Third thus Si Dominus temporalis requisitus monitus ab Ecclesia terram suam purgare neglexerit ab haeretica pravitate per Metropolitanum caeteros comprovinciales Episcopos Excommunicationi vinculo innodetur si satisfacere contempserit infra annum significetur hoc summo pontifici ut ex tunc ipse vasallos ab ejus fidelitate denuntiet absolutos terram exponat Catholicis occupandam qui eam exterminatis haereticis sine ulla contradictione possideant That is If a Temporal Lord being admonished by the Church neglects to purge his Dominion of Heresie let him be Excommunicated by the Metropolitan and the other comprovincial Bishops and if he refuseth to satisfie within a year let this be signified to the Pope that thence he may declare his Subjects free from Allegiance to him and expose his Dominion to be possessed by the Catholicks who expelling the Hereticks may justly possess it And thus thundred Pope Paul the Third in his Bull against our King Henry the Eighth Because he hath cast off obedience to the Church he is therefore deprived of his Kingdom and his fautors of all their goods honors and fortunes his Subjects commanded not to obey him Foreigners to have no Commerce with him and all to take up Arms against him and his People and to take unto them his Kingdom and Fortune for a Prey and Reward and to keep his People in servitude And thus says Pope Pius the Fifth in his Bull against our Queen Elizabeth Regnans in excelsis hunc unum super omnes gentes omnia Regna Principem constituit qui evellat destruat dissipet disperdat plantet aedificet Illius auctoritate suffulti qui nos in hoc supremo Iustitiae Throno voluit collocare de Apostolicae potestatis plenitudine declaramus praedictam Elizabetham haereticam haereticorum fautricem eique adhaerentes in praedictis anathematis sententiam incurrisse Quinetiam ipsam praetenso Regni praedicti jure necnon omni quocunque dominio dignitate privilegioque privatam Et item proceres subditos populos dicti Regni ac caeteros omnes qui illi quomodocunque juraverunt à juramento hujusmodi ac omni prorsus dominii fidelitatis obsequii debito perpetuò absolutos prout nos illos praesentium auctoritate absolvimus privamus eandem Elizabetham praetenso jure Regni aliisque omnibus supradictis Praecipimusque interdicimus universis singulis proceribus subditis populis aliis praedictis ne illi ejusve monitis mandatis legibus audeant obedire Qui secus egerint eos simili Anathematis sententiâ innodamus That is Christ hath wade Peter and his Successor Prince over all Nations and Kingdoms to pluck up destroy scatter consume plant and build By his Authority who hath placed us in this supreme Throne of Iustice We out of the plenitude of our Apostolick power declare Elizabeth as being an Heretick and a favourer of Hereticks and her Adherents to have incurred the sentence of Excommunication and moreover to be deprived of her pretended right to the Kingdom and of all Dominion Dignity and Priviledge whatsoever and also the Nobility Subjects and People of the Kingdom and all others who have sworn unto her in any sort to be absolved for ever from the said Oath and from all duty of Dominion Allegiance and Obedience and by these presents we do absolve them and deprive Elizabeth of her pretended right to the Kingdom and of all other things before named And we command all the Nobles Subjects and People that they presume not to obey her or her Orders Mandates and Laws And those that shall do the contrary we bind with the same Anathema We swear in the Oath of Allegiance to bear true Allegiance to our King and to defend him against all Conspiracies and Attempts which shall be made against his Person and Crown to the uttermost of our Power and to do our best endeavour to discover all treasons and traiterous Conspiracies which we shall know or hear of to be against him And is this an unlawful Oath And may we break it And can any one absolve us from it Would you plot Treason and attempt the Death of your present King and the ruin of his Crown And them that do so will you not disclose if you know them And we that have sworn to disclose such persons if we can ought we not in your judgment so to do You see what your Pope and Council teach you and in Mr. Fowlis's History of Romish Treasons you may see an hundred or two hundred more Popes and Doctors of your Church which teach the same traiterous and rebellious Doctrin but I hope some of you are of a better mind And I desire you to read again the former citations and then with the words of St. Peter and St. Paul that you may see how contrary to the Apostles your men teach you For says the one Apostle thus Submit your selves to every Ordinance of man for the Lords sake whether it be to the King as Supreme or unto Governours For so is the will of God that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men Honour the King And says the other Apostle Let every Soul be subject to the Higher powers For there is no power but of God the powers that be are ordained of God Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the Ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation Render tribute to whom tribute is due custom to whom custom fear to whom fear honour to whom honour And is this plucking up destroying scattering and consuming Is this absolving subjects from their Allegiance and commanding them to take the Kingdom from their King Is this depriving Kings and Temporal Lords of their Dominions And remember that Nero an heathen and monstrous wicked man and a persecutor of the Christians was at this time King of the Roman Empire And yet says the Apostle Whosoever resisteth the power be he Peter then be he Pope he shall receive to himself damnation Forbear Bold Actors for it is not now night that you should play your wicked pranks among us and not be discerned Nor are our hearts so bad though bad enough as to love or favour or comply with your gross
