Crashawe, Batchelour of Diuinitie, and preacher at the temple; iustified by the authour, both against papist, and Brownist, to be the truth: wherein, this point is principally followed; namely, that the religion of Rome, as now it stands established, is worse then euer it was.

Lords prayer for another place and purpose it is here euident that no Papist in the World can with a good conscience say the whole Lords prayer For if God haue now diuided his kingdome then how can hee say with Dauid in the olde testament i 1. Chr. 29. 11 and Christ in the newe k Math. 6. Thine O Lord is the kingdome for euer therefore hee must either alter the Lords prayer and say Thine is halfe the kingdome c. or neuer say it at all or else curse and detest his owne teachers that write and his Lord God the Pope that alloweth such doctrine Alas poore soules what should a simple honest hearted Papist do in this case See therefore in what pitifull state they liue who haue subiected themselues to such teachers Lastly let it bee obserued that here they teach that there bee in spiritual matters touching the soule 2. diuine Courts the one of Iustice and that is Gods the other a Chancerie a Court of Mercie and that is Maries these bee their verie wordes and further that if any man feele himselfe agrieued in Gods Court of Iustice let him appeale to the Court of mercie of his Mother Oh-strange diuinitie Canne Gods iudgements bee vniust or his proceedinges erroneous and vnequall If they bee not then why do they talke of appealing to a higher Court for why do writtes of error lye from one Court to another but that it is presupposed that they may erre and why is there a Chauncerie but that the rigour and extremitie of the Lawe may bee mitigated But if the Scripture say true in the text Righteous art thou O Lord and iust in thy iudgements l Psal 119. 137. then this is blasphemie of a high nature that there needes a Chancerie to rectifie his proceedinges and mitigate his Iudgements But as for this doctrine that the Chauncerie or Court of mercie is not Gods but his Mothers and that therfore Gods iudgmēts are to be mitigated by another and therefore that shee and her Court are in this respect rant shee is not healed And yet for the better satisfaction of all men that as shee is not yet so shee purposeth neuer to bee healed nor to reforme any thing and that this is not the priuate opinion of that or any other one doctor I desire all that loue the trueth to take knowledge that of late within these seauen yeares an Italian doctor a Iesuite and an approued writer writing a storie of the miracles of our Ladie of Loretto teacheth euen the same doctrin and makes no bones to bluster out almost the very same words which for better assurance I will put down s Horatiu● Tursellinus hist virginis lauretanae in Epistola dedic virgo Maria salutem vndique cinctam periculis expedire vitam veris salutaribus bonis cumulare vult potest Matrem quippe suam omnipotens deus diuinae potestatis Maiestatis sociam quatenus licuit asciuit The Virgin Marie both will and can is both willing and able to deliuer such as bee compassed about with daungers on all sides and to heape vpon them all good blessinges for Almightie GOD as farre as it is lawefull t This clause as farre as it is lawfull is a strange word to be spoken of God for what can be vnlawful to God that is good whose wil is the holiest law if therfore it be good to make a creature fellow with him in his deitie it must needes be lawful and so the clause is idle If it bee not good but impious and contrary to the nature of God then to thinke it any way lawful or possible to be done is no lesse then to think it any way lawfull for God to lie or sin or deny himselfe so that take it any way this limitation of the Iesuite both grossely abuseth the reader and containeth horrible impiety against God So far is it from being any shelter to the blasphemy that is deliuered in the whole passage hath made his Mother fellowe and partaker of his diuine Power and Maiestie c. See here the new and refined diuinity of the Iesuites what is this but the same with that afore for if shee bee made partaker fellow with God in his diuine power and Maiestie it is no maruel that God hath cōmitted his mercy to her if frō these words we look into the body of the book we shal find he ascribes such works miracles to her as can belong to none but him or her that is a fellow with God or rather God himself It cannot bee saide the booke wants authoritie for it is formally allowed dedicated to the Cardinall Aldobrandino printed at Rome and since often elsewhere and of late both the Authour and his booke highly commended by the greatest Romish censurers u Posseu in apparatu sacro to 2. litera H.

Now to go forward from the Person and Maiesty of God let vs proceede to his Holy SCRIPTVRES and see how the Romish Church held of olde and yet holdeth and teacheth of them I will not stand vppon those v●le and base speeches vttered and written of them by Eccius Pighius Hosius and manie other of that generation for that they haue beene both detected and with shame inough re●ected by many reuerend men of our nation both in Latine and English w Whitaker Fulke Iewel Reinolds and others but vppon some that often haue not bin touched by many nor euer can be sufficiently condemned by any In the Canon Lawe the Pope spareth not to disgrace the holy Scriptures in express tearmes sometimes equaling his own Constitutions with them somtimes preferring them In the Decree hee shameth not to affirme that 7 The fourth wound The Popes decrees be equall to the Canonicall Scriptures his decretall Epistles are numbred amongst the Canocall Scriptures x Vide decretū cum glossa Lugd. 1510.
