A17259	A suruey of the Popes supremacie VVherein is a triall of his title, and a proofe of his practices: and in it are examined the chiefe argumentes that M. Bellarmine hath, for defence of the said supremacie, in his bookes of the bishop of Rome. By Francis Bunny sometime fellow of Magdalene Colledge in Oxford.

Emperour with a sword carried before him cried aloude Beholde two swordes as the same Abbat reporteth Who when Albert Duke of Austria came to him to be confirmed in the Empire whereunto he was chosen tooke the Crowne and set it vpon his owne heade and tying the sworde to his owne side sayd I am the Emperour Or as Frier Rioche a friend to popes writeth I onelie am Emperour who boastingly woulde call him selfe key-carryer of heauen And therefore hee is worthilie called a famous pope and a magnificall tyrant of priests Nowe if wee search and trie from whence hee hath anie warrant for this his Luciferian behauiour against God and man what can hee answere Hee hath no commaundement nor any proofe or approbation of it in Gods worde no example of the godlie Christ and his Apostles shewed all dutifull obedience to magistrates and exhorted also others to doe the like Cesar must haue his due whether in obedience or tribute or feare or honour or anie thing else if wee will obey the commaundement of Christ and his Apostles or followe their example or beleeue their saying when hee telleth vs that the Apostles shoulde not haue such dominion or exercise such authoritie as the Lordes of the Gentiles did exercise ouer them He commendeth loue and pronounceth the ●eacemakers blessed and would haue vs to learne of him to bee meeke and lowly in heart But the pope finding nothing in all these that serueth or fitteth his humour taketh his patterne of Diotrephes who loued to haue the preheminence Or of the Scribes and Pharises who loued the chiefe place in feastes and to haue the chiefe seate in the assemblies and greetings in the market and to be called of men Rabbi Rabbi Yea Christ and his Apostles tooke great paines in preaching spared not for labour feared not for daunger preaching in season and out of season suffered all things indured all things seeking Gods glorie and not their owne Whereas on the contrarie the popes cannot or will not vse to preach They haue inough to doe to deuise howe they may subdue Emperours bring vnder their yoke the neckes of Kings set vp their chaire of pestilence aboue all the thrones in the earth This is their care their studie their whole endeour And therefore Paschalis the second although he would not be pope vnlesse the people would first giue some rare testimonie of his diuine election for they must cite three times Saint Peter hath chosen to bee pope Rainer for that was his name before an excellent good man O fond hypocrite yet when he had taken it vpon him it was done with many ceremonies to make him seeme more glorious For hauing gotten this double conquest first in that he got to be pope secondly that hee made the people giue such a testimonie of him that he was so worthie a man he thus addresseth himselfe to his triumph First he putteth on him a crimson robe an ornament vpon his head and so waited on by the people and cleargie vpon a white horse he rideth to the south gate of the pallace of Laterane and entering into the pallace hee putteth about him a girdle at which were hanging seuen keies and seuen seales and holdeth his scepter in his hand But Paul the secondthought not this brauerie sufficient to set forth his glorie and therefore he much increased the costlines of these ornaments especially for the miter which hee wore vpon his head buying the most precious stones that he could heare of to adorne and decke the same And least his withered face should not be somewhat sutable he would also as some report for so Platina telleth vs paint it And he also saith that hee had a great delight to shewe himselfe to straungers and woulde keepe them manie times in the Citie that they might beholde and wonder at him And indeede they had iust cause to wonder at him that he who by his calling shoulde haue beene an example of modestie a light to shine vnto other and salt to season them that were vnsauerie and by his age should haue beene past those toyes and childish vaine conceits should so farre forget himselfe that he would not only decke his body with more precious attire then was seemely for him who should haue beene to other a patterne of all christian humilitie but also paint his face more like a wanton Iesabell than a sober bishop And thus I trust it appeareth how insolently and stately the bishops of Rome haue behaued themselues hauing by very vniust meanes gotten to that greatnes wherein they are I might by infinite examples haue shewed this to be true For all stories are full of their insolent doings But my indeuour is only to shew that as they claime by an vniust title so they do in many respects abuse their greatnesse Which hitherto I haue proued because so saw●ily they match themselues with God spurn against the highest authoritie magnifie themselues in al their behauiour The stories also do point out vnto vs their incredible auarice and more then greedy couetousnesse which is so insatiable that no summes of money can satisfie no kingdomes can stanch the same It is a world to consider what large and ample dominions they haue gotten into their hands what landes and territories Whereinto they hauing intruded themselues by setting princes together by the eares or such other subtile practises and yet would seeme somtime to hold the same by the gift of Constantine sometime from Charles the great sometime from his son Lewes But from whom they should claime to holde their possessions they are not yet fully resolued as it seemeth But how great soeuer their possessions are or howe they holde them I am not purposed to examine My purpose is rather to shew how little contented they are with all that they haue and how still they haue new deuises and other practises to get money into their coffers Henry the second or as some reckon the third had built a church in Bamberg and was desirous to haue it made a bishops sea hee requested the pope to do so much at his request Now this pope rested wholy of the good will of the emperour Henry And yet would he not at his request do so much but that also he would benefit himselfe and so was content to do it vpon couenant that that church should giue him yeerely a hundred markes and a white horse with his But what should we enter into any particulars in this point What bishop could get his alowance or confirmation to any bishopricke without great summes of money Then the archbishops haue their palles not without infinite charges Wonderfull sums of money haue in the time of vacation of bishoprickes and other spirituall promotions beene carried to Rome from Germany Fraunce this our country and other places as the manifold complaints and greeuances do manifestly declare And besides
