against both the Old and New Testament sayeth hee Cap. licet n●m 3. de feriis f. 206. Cap. 51. num 4. de divertiis f. 69. Imo Papa tollit jus divinum dispensando contra Evangelium sayeth Petrus de Monte in his Monarchia Papae That is The Pope may take away GODS Law by his dispensation against the Gospell Next For practise the forenamed Angelus Clavafinus in his Summa Angelica f. 241. relateth that Pope Martin the fyfth gaue one a dispensation To marrie his own sister And telleth us That Sanctus Antoninus is a conjunct Recorder of this with him Lykewyse Villa Scotus and Orbellis all three on the fourth of the Sentences reporteth How that Pope Lucius dispensed with one Panormitan to haue two wyues at once Tho also an Archbishop Out of the plenitude of his power sayd they against the Apostle 1. Tim. 2.3 And how the Pope of late dispensed with the king of Pole Sigismund to marrie two sisters As hee did Henrie the eyght before to marrie his brothers wyf is notore to the whole world From all which former I argue thus Hee who extolleth himself not onlie aboue all that is called God But also aboue GOD himself who is so in essence Hee is that Grand Antichrist That Man of Sinne in an eminent way and sonne of Perdition As the SCRIPTURE testifieth But the Pope doeth this many wayes as wee haue shown in this preceeding Chapter Therefore Hee is that Grand Antichrist CHAP. XIII Of Antichrists or the Popes idolatrie and spirituall whooredome Revel 17.6 IN regard wherof Rome with her Papall Head Revel. 17.6 is called That Great Whoore and alluding to Her usuall and usurped Tytle of Mother-Church Shee is called The Mother of Harlots and abhominations of the earth Being not onlie guiltie herself of idolatrie called spirituall whooredome But also being the propagater thereof to all other parts under her jurisdiction So that shee is lyke Ieroboam Who not onlie sinned by Idolatrie himself but also made all ISRAELL to sinne How guiltie then the Pope and the Roman Church under him is hereof wee shall make manifest 1. By their Adoration of Images 2. By their Invocation of Saincts and Angells And 3. By their Adoration of the Hoste First then concerning the Adoration of Images Decreed in their late Councell of Trent under Pius the fourth Sess. 9. the doctrine which by all their Schoolmen is asserted as testifieth their own Bishop Peresius is this That Images are to be worshipped with the same worship as these whom they represent And therefore the Images of GOD and CHRIST are to bee worshipped with the highest Divine Honour which they call LATRIA Which doctrine these who are here after named doe maintaine To wit Their canonized Sainct Thomas Aquinas parte 3. q. 25. art 3.

Iacobus Atlantus in Rom. 1. f. 42. edit. venet 1557. with dyvers others The Iesuit Vasquez in lyke manner disputeth the ●uestion and concludeth That if the worship of Images bee a religious act at all it may justlie bee called LATRIA For LATRIA and Religion are the same thing sayeth hee And so sayeth their Bishop Peresius lykewyse in the place forecited And as for such subtile distinctions whereby they would palliat their Idolatrie They are such as Bellermine speaketh which neither themselves vnderstand who haue broached them And farre lesse the vnlearned people sayeth hee And especiallie that of DULIA The Scripture witnessing That the religious act therof is proper to GOD onlie Deutr. 6.13 1. Sam. 7.3 and Act. 20.19 And when it was given to anie creature it was ever counted Idolatrie GAL. 4.8 And as this is their Idolatrous do●trine concerning the sort of Adoration So lykewyse concerning the extent or termination there of Thus sayeth Bellarmine To wit That images are to bee worshipped properlie That is As they are considered in themselve● So that the worship stayeth it self in the Image sayeth hee For if the Image were not to bee worshipped but vnproperlie To wit Because before it or in it or by it that which it representeth is adored Then surelie it might bee simplie denyed sayeth hee That Images should bee worshipped at all Next To come to the practise of Adoration of Images It is more than manifest sayth their own Cassander Then can bee exprest by words that the worship of Images is come to that hight That the verie Pagans themselves haue given to their Idoles Neither is that excuse of anie worth sayeth hee Which some vse to pretend that they worship not the Images but them whom they represent for this colour the Pagans also used for their idolatrie as wee see in Arnobius sayeth he and may be also seene in Aug. l. 3. de doct. Christ c. 7. and elsewhere And which excuse likewise BELLARMINS forecited words refuteth where he sayeth That if the Image were not to bee worshipped but improperlie Because before it or in it or by it that which it representeth is adored Then surelie it might bee simplie denyed sayeth hee that Images should bee worshipped at all yea the same is come to that hight of madnes sayeth their own Polidor Virgil That this part of Religion is little different from impietie it self for there are very many so exceeding rude and stupid sayeth hee who worship images made of stocks stones brasse and marble c. not as representing figures but as if they had sense and feeling and confide more in these to whom speciallie they go in Pilgramage then in Christ Himself Yea some dote so upon images sayth their own Gabriel Biell that they believe a certan Deitie grace or holienes to bee in them whereby they are able to work miracles restore health and deliver from dangers and to preserue from hurts and snares out of the confidence of the forenamed being moved to worship them that they may obtaine some of the former things Whence also it is sayeth hee that they obliege themselves to undergo Pilgramages some to this and some to that Church according as they respect the images believing that this image in such a place is of greater vertue than in another and is more famous for miracles of greater power a cleir example wherof we haue in the pilgramages to our lady of Loretto Hales And if at any time miracles bee wrought upō men who haue recourse to them this is not by vertue of the image sayth he but some tymes by the operation of the Devill to d●ceiue such idolatrous worshippers GOD so permitting and their infidelitie so deserving the fame Secondlie of Popish Adoration and invocation of Saints This their idolatrie which they perform heerein they seeke to palliat by this distinction that they invocat them not as mediators of

cast it down upon the ground in token that he had power if he deserved to depose him there from and then the Cardinalls taking it up set it agayne upon the Emperours Head which made Matheus Parisiensis say of the forenamed Innocent that hee did know and many wayes had learned by experience Quod Papa super omnes mortales ambitiosus erat superbus That is That the Pope beyound all mortall men was the most ambitious and proudest As likewise made that worshipfull Gentleman and great poet in his time Gefrey Chaucer of whom we spoke before to say of the Pope as head of the Roman Church in his plow-mans tale Her head loveth all honour And to be worshipped in word deed Kings mot to him kneell cowr To the Apostles that Christ forebeed So seemeth hee aboue all And Christ aboue him nothing When he sitts in his stall Damneth saveth as him think Such pride before God doth stink Yea not onelie is it enough that Emperours and Kings be subject unto him that he exalt himself aboue them and that he make them kisse his foot and kick off their Crowns off from their heads tho he be the Emperour but lykwise when he pleaseth to treade upon their necks as Abbas Vrspergensis reporteth that Alexander the third did to the Emperour Frederick at S. MARKS church in Venice As also we haue it set down in the book of sacred Ceremonies That the Emperour or greatest Prince that is present at the Pops Coronation is to carrie his trayne that day to hold his stirrop at his leaping on and lighting and if he go in litter to carrie him on their shoulders hold the basen to him and bring in his first measse of meat Whereof I may say Is this the imitation of CHRISTS humilitie which he recommended to His disciples Or as Bernard sayd to Pope Eugenius in the like case did Peter so or played Paull such prancks when hee was reprehending Eugenius for his pompous carriage and convoy saying Thou goeth in procession glistering with gold and compast about with such a varietie of convoy and by so doing what example getteth Christs sheep or edifying If I durst say sayth he it is the Divels pasture rather which they get teaching them pride nor Christs and thou may see that all ecclesiasticall zeale is now hote onlie for defending of worldlie dignitie sayeth he all men hunting after honour but little or nothing after pietie Thus you see how the Popes pride his Clergies was painted out in Bernards time neere 500. yeares agoe Next let us see how the Pope exalteth himself aboue Angells that are likewise called gods Psal. 97.7 And first Rodevicus a Popish Bishop who was Constable of the castle of S. ANGELO in his Book called Speculum vitae humanae sayeth That the Pope is ordayned to bee aboue not onelie humane but divine principalities and not onlie to rule mortall men but immortalls not onelie men but Angells After which hee applyeth to the Pope places of scripture which speake onlie of GOD in IOB That he is one and there is not a second and againe Thou art mighty aboue the mightiest and wise in counsell and elswhere in Scripture where it is sayd by the Prophet to whō all power and dominion is given of whom David meaned when he sayd he hath given him all power dominion that all people and languages should be subject unto him Of which blaphemous trash the reader may see more in the oration uttered before Pius the second by the Deputies of Florence registrat by Antonius bishop of that Citie as also in that of Iacobus Tecano Chamberlaine to Vrban the sixt and Alvarez Pelagius Penitentiarie to Iohn the 22. As likewise in Augustinus triumphus alias de Ancona in his Booke De potestate Ecclesiae dedicat to Iohn the 22. and thereafter to Gregorie the 13. Printed at Rome 1582. With the Popes priviledge and in Lancelotus Conradus his book of the same subject approved by Pius the 4. And the Bishop of Bitonto in his Oration before the councell of Trent with diverse others Next we see that he exalteth himself aboue Angells in respect as Iohannes Faber sayeth he permitteth himself to bee adored by religious adoration as Paulus Iovius speaketh in the place before cited which the Angell refused Revel. 22.9 because he was Iohn's fellow-servant yet the Pope hypocriticallie calleth himself the servant of GODS servants As also wheras the Angells are only called holie yet hee is called in the abstract Holienesse it self Thirdlie In the bull of Clement the sixt in favours of these who should happen to die comming to his jubile these were his words Wee command the Angells to carrie their soules into Abrahams bosome which bull is extant registrat in the treatise of Iohannes Phofferus Professour of divinitie in Friburg DE MATERIA INDULGENTIARUM anno 1472. From all the which former we frame this argument hee who exalteth himself aboue all that is called GOD is the Grand Antichrist man of sin foretold of 2. Thess. 2.4 But the Pope doth this as hath beene clearelie proven by Romanists themselves Therefore the Pope is that Grand Antichrist and man of sinne foretold of 2. Thess. 2.4 CHAP. XI Of Antichrists sitting in the Temple of GOD as GOD Showing himself that he is GOD 2. Thess. 2.4 And of his Names of blasphemie Revel. 17.3 HAving shown how Antichrist exalteth himself aboue all that is called GOD Wee come next to his sitting as GOD in the Temple of GOD showing himself that he is GOD as the Apostle speaketh 2. Thess. 2.4 That is so farre as any mortall man can in the hight of pride equall himself with GOD which the Pope doeth 1. By usurping not only the Tytle of CHRISTS vicar upon earth that is as it is sayd of Moyses being to Aaron in stead of GOD Exod. 4.16 But also 2. In usurping blasphemouslie the verie name of GOD in the singular which in the plurall onelie is communicated to Kings and Princes Psal. 82.6 As it was written upon that Triumphall Arch at Rome Oraculo vocis mundi moderaris habenas Et merito in terris diceris esse Deus Therefore Panormitan calleth him Dominus Deus noster Papa And of late Stapleton in the Dedicatorie Epistle of his Treatise De principiis Doctrin calleth Gregorie the 13. Supremum Numen in terris or the Supreame GOD upon earth therefore sayth Frossardus in his fourth ●ome and tenth Chapter That as there is but One GOD in Heaven so there is no reasen but there ought in like manner to be but one god onelie upon earth to wit the Pope Wherefore as Platina recordeth Pope Paull the second used to say That hee had all Lawes in the cabinet of his owne breast could rescind or approve the actions of all mē● according to his pleasure Whence also that worshipfull Gentleman forenamed Gefrey Chaucer
