haughty King after so many Armies vanquish'd so many flourishing people so many great Princes his Enemies layd at his feet at length for all his Grandeur prostrating himself at the feet of the Pope receives his commands at the hands of his Monsieur Confessor and Cardinal D' Ossat Which two were layd upon their bellies jigg by jowl like Mackarel upon a Gridiron while you might have read half a Mass They say moreover That there was the same play to be play'd over again between his Majesty and Monsieur the Legat but that was to be done gently and under the Rose They who would turn the Holy See quite out of doors instance the boldness of the Court which being a Fugitive as far as Tours yet ventur'd to burn the Bulls of his Holiness by the hand of the common Hangman After that they tell of a second piece of Audacity of the Court united together which was the Banishment of the Jesuits out of France a high contempt of the Romish See But I answer to that That we have no reason to repent of it Witness the good Catholic City of Tournon and in imitation of her the Parliaments of Tholouse and Bourdeaux who both in spight of Fate re-established these stout Champions of the Church Thus you have the proofs of the one and the other side by Consequences and Effects Now for proofs by reason and let no man wonder at this way of proceeding It has been the humor of France for many years to mind the effects and not the reason of things Then I must tell the Reader that a man may sooner venture his Neck and get a hundred thousand Crowns then disengage himself out of the labyrinth of such difficult affairs I shall therefore only say this That I believe the Pope to be more then all the rest of the World together nay then all the Saints and all the Angels I 'll shew ye certain passages which Monsieur Confessor gave me to confirm me in this opinion Bernard of Sens calls him Prince of the Bishops Heir of the Apostles for antiquity of dignity Abel and Noah as a Patriarch Abraham as to his Order Melchisedec as to his Priesthood Aaron as to his Soveraignty Moses in Judgment a Samuel in power a Peter in authority Christ I remember the words of one of the Bulls of Clement the 6th The Pope is to be admir'd The Pope is the astonishment of the World Neither God nor Man but as it were between both The Glossary upon q. Sect. 1. cap. 17. is positive That the Pope is no man I have also read the Distinct and Canon Proposuit de con prae 19. c. Si humanarum Where it is pithily observ'd That the Pope according to the latitude of his Authority has power to give a dispensation against any Law And 5. Transub Epist 5. in Gloss he explains himself farther saying That the Pope can turn injustice into justice Monsieur Confessor never admire at these last passages when I shall tell ye by way of reinforcement that the Pope can make infecta facta that is he can make Something out of Nothing and Nothing of Something By one History alone will I undertake to prove that the Pope can do all this That high and mighty Pope Sixtus Quintus who in his time caus'd above four thousand pair of shoulders to want heads and envy'd the Queen of England for nothing more but that she had the Honour to cut off a Queen's Head who put down the Bawdy houses and consequently took away fourscore thousand Duckets of rent from the Church He that was wont say There 's no trusting in this Religion for it will not last He whom the King call'd Mr. Sixtus who was made Pope that he might bring his Hoggs to a fair Market This Great Personage having unfortunately entred into a Contract with the Devil and having read how Alexander the Sixth for that he had usurp'd the Chair by force was couzen'd in his term of years made his bargain absolutely for seven years but notwithstanding all his wit the Scrivener he had to deal with found a way to get loose from his Articles For after he had raign'd five years very formidably he fell sick the last day of the five years at what time there came to his Bed-side in the sight of his chief Chamberlain a certain grave Abby-Lubber with whom the Pope entred into a very high Contest insomuch that they in the next Room could hear the Pope call the t'other perfidious asking him withal whether he had not promis'd him seven years and whether there were any more then five past To which the Devil's Envoy made answer with a loud voice 'T is true said he I promis'd thee seven years and there are but five elaps'd and yet for all that I am no perfidious Person For do but remember That when you had a desire to put to death the Son of such one for such a Crime when you were inform'd by Justice that Legally he could not be put to death till he was Seventeen years of Age I say then do but remember how you said you would lend him two of yours Now five and two make seven and therefore you must go there 's no remedy By this Story we find the absolute power of the Pope and a confirmation of the fore-mention'd Characters of his Grandeur For by putting the young Lad illegally to death he dispens'd with Law against Law That Justice which should have sav'd the Lad he turn'd into Injustice And the Devil and he made out the third point For the Bargain which was for seven years at first imperfect by the power of the Pope and the Devil became a good Contract as the Devil made it out by the Pope's own Act and Deed. And therefore that buffonly President of Beaulieu when the Pope had excommunicated the Mass which had been said when the King was crown'd together with all that assisted at the Coronation did not much amiss according to his rambling Divinity to say That where there was an Assembly of Ecclesiastics it was such because there was a God among them The Chancellor going about to reply By the body of Sir cry'd the Belswagger you shall grant me that God was present at that same Council The Chancellor not daring to deny the other demands if any Heretic were there who durst venture to bound the puissance of his Holiness Every one shrug'd up his shoulders choosing rather to allow the Excommunication of the God of Heaven then limit the power of a God upon Earth CHAP. II. Of Traditions WE puzzle the Heretics infinitely when we demonstrate to them that the Authority of the Church and Traditions teach us to acknowledge the Scriptures although the Canonical Writings teach us not to acknowledge either Traditions or the Authority of the Church In truth we must hold to the Legends of the Church and not to Canonical Scripture otherwise the Heretics will goad us to Eternity with their Texts out of
