to the Crown shewing himself a faithful and quiet Subject continued in both the said Offices though in Religion then manifestly differing and was not restrained of his liberty nor deprived of his proper Lands and Goods but willingly leaving both his Offices lived in his own House very discreetly and injoyed all his purchased Lands and disposd of them as he pleased at his death An Example of Clemency not to be parallel'd in Queen Maries time The like did Dr. Poole Bishop of Peter-borough Dr. Tunstall Bishop of Duresme Dr. White and Dr. Oglethorpe Bishops the one of Winchester the other of Carlisle who was so inclined to dutifulness to the Queen that he did the Office of Consecration and Coronation of Her Majesty And Dr. Thurleby and Dr. Watson the one of Ely the other of Lincoln Bishops and so Turbervile Bishop of Exeter all which lived at their own liberty without being charged with any Capital peine though they maintained the Popes Authority against the Laws of the Realm Some Abbots did the like as Mr. Fecknam Some Deans as Dr. Boxall Dean of Windsor Dr. Cole Dean of St. Pauls Dr. Reignold Dean of Exeter and many others having born offices and Dignities in the Church and that had made profession against the Pope which they only began in Queen Maries time to change yet were these never troubled nor deprived of their proper Goods and Livelyhoods but only removed from their Ecclesiastical Offices which they would not Exercise according to the Laws and most of them and many others of their sort for a great time were retained in Bishops Houses very civily and courteously without charge to themselves or their friends untill the time that the Pope Phalaris like sent out his roaring Bull dated 5. Catend Mart. 1569. 5. Papatus Pij Quint. and his bellowing Messages to trouble this Realm by stirring Rebellion about the same year being about 11 Years after Her Majesties coming to the Crown Besides these Ecclesiasticks there were also very many Lay-men of good Fortunes and Families that were manifestly seduced by their Priests to hold wrong opinions in Religion for the Popes Authority and none of them were ever impeached of Treason or of low of Life Member or Inheritance for such their opinions in Religion or for the Popes Authority alone as our most impudent Adversaries have often published F. 5. and yet some of them were well known to hold opinion That the Pope ought by Authority of Gods Word to be Supreme and only Head of the Catholick Church over the whole World and only to rule in all Causes Ecclesiastical and that the Queens Majesty ought not to be Governour over any of her Subjects in her Realm being persons Ecclesiastical which opinions are nevertheless in some part by the Laws of this Nation punishable in other Degrees yet for none of these points were any persons prosecuted with the Crime of Treason or brought in danger of life but enjoyed their Religion in private with Connivance though not with Tolleration and Abetting and so they have done ever since even unto the very day this Dialogist writ his Dialogue with as much freedom and liberty Nay with more than have our other dissenting Brethren who differ in Discipline and Ecclesiastical Government only not in Doctrin without having their Consciences raked into by Six bloody Articles or any Oaths And if any thing of more than ordinary severity hath lately befallen them they may thank their own most implacable and restless Spirits for it And if any of the same Communion being of more quiet and moderate Temper and Humour and better principled do suffer thereby they ought in all Justice to do as the Seculars in Queen Eliz. days did and place the blame on the fiery tempers of that Crudele genus of some their own Colleagues that have brought this upon them and not to blame us or our Laws who in all prudence ought to provide for the safety and quiet of our selves and of our own Religion by wholsom Laws be displeased therewith who will Now were Papists in Queen Eliz days the quieter or better Subjects for those 12 Years Indulgence Connivance Favours and princely Graces or the Queen in any manner the more secure in her person or quiet in her Dominions Let be Judg that Bull of Pius Quintus together with the Popes Commission granted to Dr. Sanders as Legate who before his passing into Ireland openly by writing Impudently avowed that Bull against Her Majesty to be lawful and which for ought I know is in force to this day against all her Successors if any Pope please to have it so and together with the Faculties granted by the Pope unto P. P. Robert Parsons and Edmund Campion at Rome 14. Apr. 1580. then going for England and together with the Confession of Hart who being Condemned with Campion did the last of December 1580. confess That the Bull of Pius Quintus for so much as is against the Queen is held amongst the English Catholicks for a lawful sentence 25. Feb. 1570. and a sufficient discharge of her Subjects fidelity and so remaineth in force but in some points touching her Subjects it is altered by the present Pope For where in that Bull all her Subjects are commanded not to obey her and she being Excommunicate and Deposed all that do obey her are likewise innodate and Accursed which point is perilous to the Catholicks for if they obey her they are within the verge of the Popes Curse if they disobey her they are in the Queens danger therefore the present Pope to relieve them hath altered that part of the Bull and dispensed with them to obey or serve her without peril of Excommunication which Dispensation is to endure but till it please the Pope otherwise to determine We thank his Holiness This Bull did Import 1. That Her Majesty was not the lawful Queen of England the first and highest point of Trason 2. That all her Subjects are discharged of all their Oaths and Obedience another point of high Treason 3. All warranted to disobey her and her Laws This was the proper and natural product of 12 Years Indulgence and Connivance with much moderation and many favours and from this Root sprang all the subsequent Treasons in Queen Eliz. days and since and will be again if not prevented of Northumberland Westmoreland Parsons Parry Throgmorton Somervile Stewkeley Saunders cum multis aliis A special Argument and Motive I must confess and well becoming P. the Dialogist when he hath no better to perswade King and Parliament to give new and fresh Indulgence to the Papists that they might with the better Grace and more Authority impune peccare As to this pitiful begging Argument of this P. viz. That because many of them deny much of the Popes Authority therefore they should have Tolleration now I shall only apply matter of Fact viz. the chiefest and most of them that I have named had in the times of H. 8.
