that he committed Idolatrie when he called the Bishop of Rome God for the meaning was playne that he did it only in honour of Christ his Maister which was true God and had lefte his place and power vpon earth to this his seruant as the Bishop explayneth in the rest of the wordes following which the deceytful minister left out of purpose and corrupted also those fewe wordes he alleadgeth by shutting out the wordes à Constantino therby to make it seeme that Steuchus spake this of himselfe and so to make way to his lying calumn●ation saying as he doth Augustin Steuchus doth honour him as a God by this yow may see in what case men are that beleeue these lying lippes of consciēceles Ministers vpon their words in matters of their saluation which are commonlie at this day without controlment in England seing they dare aduenture to falsifie so openlie in points which they may probably doubt to be called to reckning for by their aduersaries as we do O.E. in this other maters wherin we are to charge him hereafter Diuers other places he alleadgeth and heapeth togither taken out of Ministers note books to proue the flatterie of later Catholiques Canonistes to the Pope but they are such as eyther make nothing to the purpose or are corrupted or peruerted by him or may haue a very true and pious sense in respect of the Popes authoritie and place giuen him by Christ if they be wel and truelie vnderstood and as much or more was vsed by the ancient Fathers which these compagnions do auoid to recite of purpose for their credit sake alleaging only later wryters as ●or example the very first place cyted by this fellow out of Card●nal Cusanus is this Cusan epist. ad Eohem Mutato iudicio Ecclesiae mutatum est Dei iudicium The iudgment of the Church being changed about any matter the iudgment of God changeth also and heere the ministers mouth ouerrūneth exceedingly saying these good fellowes for their bellies sake speake rayle Ouerlashing of the minister hold their peace wryte faune flatter and vnto the Popes pleasure tu●ne their style But ho Sir swash-buckler harken to others that had l●sse care of their belly then yow and yours this of the change of Gods iudgment after the iudgment of the Church and of the supreeme Pastor in particular is a common saying of all the Ancient Fathers vpon those wordes of Christ VVhose sinnes yow loose on earth shal be loosed in heauen and whose ye retayne shal be reta●ned Matth. 16. And S. Chrisostome goeth so farre therin who yet was neyther belly God nor flatterer as he attributeth this of drawing Gods iudgment after theirs not to the whole Churche and cheife Pastor onlie but to all euery lawful Priest also in absoluing from sinne whose power and dignitie he preferreth before Emperors Angels and whatsoeuer els but the only sonne of God which may answere also the ydle cauillations of S. F. among his other allegations of flatterie in the former chapter where he complayneth that some canonists preferre the Popes Authoritie before Emperors and Angels let him heare S. Chrysostome Qui terram incolunt saith he in his 3. book de sacerdotio A discourse of S. Chrisost. of Priests author tie l. ● de sacerdoti● To Priests that dwel and conuerse vpon earth is it committed to dispence matters that be in heauen an authoritie that God hath geuen neyther to Angels nor Archangels tyme in the Churche of God what are yow I say Yow are the great Priest the highest Bishop yow are Prince of Bishops and heire of the Apostles yow are in Primacy Abel in gouernment Noë in Patriarkship Abrahā in order Melchisedech in dignity Aaron in authority Moyses in iudicature Samuel in power The iudgmēt of S Bernard about the Popes tytles of honour Peter in vnction Christ to yow are geuen the keyes and the sheepe are committed to your trust there are other porters of heauen other feeders also of flockes besydes your selfe but yow are so much more glorious then they by how much more different your tytle is which yow haue inherited aboue them all They haue their flockes assigned seuerally to them in seueral but to yow all vniuersally are committed that is one general flocke to one general Pastor neyther only are yow the Pastor of all sheepe but of all Pastors also do yow aske me how I can proue it I answere out of the word of God Thus farre S. Bernard and then goeth he on to shew diuers playne places of Scripture for his profe and those especially which S. Chrysostome and S. Hilary before mentyoned and now I feare me our minister Oedipus wil say heere that S. Bernard is become a flatterer of Popes also as wel as Card. Cusanus Bellarmin D. Stapleton and other like whose sentences he cyteth but eyther vnderstandeth them not or wilfully peruerteth their meaning to deceaue his reader therby to seeme to haue somewhat euer to say though he say nothing or worse then nothing And heere I would leaue now O.E. with his arte of cogging to him selfe but that he passeth on to a contumelious calumniation or two more against a frēd of myne my selfe Pag 11 Gifford sayth he calleth Philip the second the K. of Spayne the greatest Monarch vnder the sunne to shew himselfe to be one of the gressest flatterers vnder the moone About D. Gifford Deane of Lile and I say yow shew yow selfe on of the veryest fooles vnder the 7. starres to print this for so grosse a flatterie which no man of knowledge iudgment in matters of story and cosmography can deny to be truth if he consider the multitude and greatnes of countryes vnder him and your selfe that haue byn a rouing theuing about the Indyes other his dominions how large and wyde they ly cannot speake this but of wilful insolency against your conscience And as for M. Doct. and deane Gifford who hath his deanery by true adoption and not by intrusion as some frend of yours and hath his learning by studie and not by borowing wandering he I say being often iniured by yow in this book wil answere for himselfe I doubt not for that yow brag much that yow haue set foorth if I mistake yow not a booke in Latyn intituled Turco-papismus which is nothing els but an apish imitatiō of M. Raynolds Caluino-T●rcimus printed by M. D. Gifford after the Authors death and that yow require so earnestly to haue it answered I hold him obliged to satisfi● your demand so I make accompte that he wil take the payne to looke ouer your said worthy worke and geue both it and the Author the colours which both deserue And thus much ●or my frend now for my selfe I may be briefer It followeth this Noddy to shewe himse●fe a n●ble paras●e Pag.

the king yow would obey him were not this a wise argument trow yow but now the second is as wise as this Boniface the eight saith he maketh subiection to the Pope to be a matter of Saluation Suppose he do seing that to obey or disobey our Superiors is a matter of saluation or dānatiō by S. Paules expresse words Rom. 13. But what is this to blasphemies But heare his thyrd argument Bellarmine saith he maketh it an essential point of a Catholike to be vnder the Pope This also we graunt But what inference can be made of this It followeth further And such trust haue Papists in his iudgment concerning matters of faith that they think he cannot be deceaued This also we 〈…〉 it of error 〈…〉 that it 〈…〉 power 〈…〉 his Churche 〈…〉 assistance of 〈…〉 seing Christ 〈…〉 able to preforme it we 〈…〉 is this also to blasphemy He addeth further Cap. 17. Pag. 54. Nay if he once 〈◊〉 or determine any thing they count it no better then sacriledge to dispute of his doings This is exaggerated for we cal it not sacrilege but pryde rather disobedience malepartnesse and other lyke sinnes for inferiors lightly to dispute or examine the doyngs of their Superiors which among Protestants perhaps is held for a commendation and quicknesse of wit for so this minister determineth the matter presently after Ibid. saying VVe are not to beleeue euery thing our Pastors teach but as farre as they teach the doctrine of Christ Iesus nor are we absolutely to obey but when they commaund according to the law But who shal heer be iudge or who seeth not that this is a most absurd circle opening the way to all wrāgling dispute and disobedience An absurd proposition about obedience nothing being attributed heer more to the iudgment and authority of Superiors then to the most vnquiet spirits and dissentious heads of any inferior whatsoeuer And finally wholy to disgrace our obediēce to the Pope he bringeth in that former famous sentence cited by Syr Francis before and now 〈…〉 all his 〈…〉 Pope should 〈…〉 an must say 〈…〉 why do yow 〈…〉 the Pope 〈…〉 for proof of 〈…〉 margēt out of 〈…〉 si Papa distinct 40. which 〈…〉 haue heard omitted to quote 〈…〉 ●nd so had this man done more wisely in my opinion if he had followed the other example 〈…〉 any Popes doings and not shamed them both by noting the place where their false shifting might be discouered as now it is lyke to be For vnderstanding wherof we are first to note that the foresaid sixt Chapter of the decretal cyted by him which beginneth D●cret Part. 1. dist 40. c. 6. si Papa suae fraternae salutis negligens deprehenditur c. yf the Pope be found negligent of his owne saluation and of the saluation of his brethren c. The sentence of S. Boniface an English man This whole chapter or Canon I say is taken out of the words and so it is noted in he decretal it self of S. Boniface an Englishman before called Winfrid first Archbishop in tymes past of Moguntia Apostle of Germany finally a most holy Martyr who liued vnder Ethelbald King of the Mercians to whome his most Christian wrytings are extant about the yeare of Christ 720. Se Iohn Stovv in his Chron. Pag. ●5 an 718. And the whole purpose of this Chapter or Canon tendeth to shew the imminent danger of euerlasting damnation to Popes aboue other men if they liue not carefully according to their State and degree and this sheweth 〈…〉 which is this 〈…〉 fraternae salutis est ne 〈…〉 that neglecteth 〈…〉 And then 〈…〉 is set downe in 〈…〉 biles populos caterua● 〈…〉 gehennae cum ipso 〈…〉 For that an euil Pope doth 〈…〉 immunerable people by multitudes 〈…〉 with himself the cheefest bondslane of her● there to be punished with him euerlastingly with many strypes Behold heer the Pope nothing at all flattered by S. Boniface in this Canon Playne speech of S. Boniface to all Popes which Protestants do cite for most high flattery towards him And if all Canonists or Popes themselues did loue flattery so much as this minister and his mates do make them they would neuer haue suffered this playne speech to haue byn registred for a Canon of Ecclesiastical decrees to be seene and read by all the world to all posterity As neyther would they permit the bookes of S. Bernard de Consideratione ad Eugenium Papam wherin he putteth both that and all other Popes in due considerations of their owne defects which are willingly read by Protestants But yet togeather with this playnesse doth this holy martyr S. Boniface as also the other deuout Father S. Bernard acknowledge the Popes prerogatiue also of not being subiect to any mortal mānes iudgmēt in this world except in matter of apostasie from 〈…〉 culpas ●stic 〈…〉 llus quta cunctos ipse 〈…〉 dus nisi deprehendatur 〈…〉 may presume to 〈…〉 opes faults in this 〈…〉 to erre in faith for 〈…〉 iudge all other mē 〈…〉 no man but by God 〈…〉 ●nd this is all that heer is said of this matter which doctrine about the Popes immunity from iudgment in this lyfe cannot in reason mislike Protestants seing many of them and other their frēdes in their books do grant thesame priuiledge to euery temporal prince in his owne dominion making him so absolute both in temporal and spiritual affayres See tvvo books of Bellay named Apologies in ●rench as he may not be iudged by any mortal man but only by God himself And albeit our aduersaryes do bestirre themselues to inferre further vpon vs heer then this partly by the word redarguere vsed by S boniface partly by the sentence foysted in by themselues that no man may say why do yow so wher-vpon they do inferre that we make the Pope not only free from being iudged or condemned but also from being so much as reprehended by any in this lyfe Yet this is manifestly shewed to be false as wel by the greuous reprehension vsed heere to all euil Popes by S. Boniface himself calling them the cheef bondsla●es of hel and by the many like reproofes vsed to thesame effect by the fornamed holy man S.
