A15431	Tetrastylon papisticum, that is, The foure principal pillers of papistrie the first conteyning their raylings, slanders, forgeries, vntruthes: the second their blasphemies, flat contradictions to scripture, heresies, absurdities: the third their loose arguments, weake solutions, subtill distinctions: the fourth and last the repugnant opinions of new papistes with the old; of the new one with an other; of the same writers with themselues: yea of popish religion with and in it selfe. Compiled as a necessarie supplement or fit appertinance to the authors former worke, intituled Synopsis papismi: to the glorie of God for the dissuading of light-minded men from trusting to the sandie foundation of poperie, and to exhort good Christians stedfastlie to hold the rockie foundation of faith in the Gospell.

Wherfore that it may appeare to the world how vniustly they haue accused vs how subtilly they would vnburden exonerate thēselues of those crimes which are theirs not ours to this ende I haue vndertaken this labour in this treatise to detect and bewray their guiltines in this behalfe that we may bee purged from their slaunders and our cause iustified and that the shame blame may fall vpon them that haue deserued it As for vs wee raile not neither vse reuiling speech yet sometime we tell them roundly their owne and this may bee done without rayling vnlesse they will say Christ rayled when he tolde the Iewes that they had made his fathers house a denne of theeues But their rayling and venemous dartes which they shoot at vs are notoriouslie knowen and cannot be hide It is the grace of popish writers both old and new to stuffe their bookes full with cursing rayling Stapleton that blacke-mouthed Sophister of Louaine hath of late set foorth a booke against D.

rest First Harding chargeth him to haue written against the power of lawfull Magistrates Luthers wordes saith he be these Inter Christianos nullus neque potest neque debet esse magistratus Among Christian men none can nor ought to be a magistrate Defens Apol. P. 446. Luther speaketh not these words of the outwarde Ciuill gouernmēt but onelie of our inward band obediēce toward God And in this respect there is no king nor prince indeed nor may be anie In this sense S. Paul saith There is no Iewe there is no Gentile there is no Lorde there is no seruant there is no man there is no woman for all you are one in Christ Iesus Galath 3. They might therefore as well haue charged S. Paul to haue written against ciuil gouernors as Luther But what his opinion was of the authoritie of the ciuil Magistrate may appeare where he writeth thus vnto the rebels in Garmanie being in the field against their Lords Yee take the sword withstand the magistrate whom God hath apointed is not this rashly to abuse the name of God Iohn Sleidan lib. 5. Our Rhemistes charge Luther that vpon these wordes of our Sauiour Resist not euill Math. 5. 39. He should hold that Christians might not resist the Turke annot Math. 5. sect 9. This is a slaunder of Luther hee did write onely that Christians should not hope to haue victorie against the Turkes before the Church were reformed That Luther teacheth that onely infidelity is sin Annot. Mat. 7. sect 5. Luther doth not teach that infidelity only is sin but that it is the root of al sin That Luther and Caluine do teach that God was the author of the traiterous sinne of Iudas Act. 2. sect 9. They neuer so taught but speake onely as the scripture doth That Christ was deliuered vp according to the determinate Counsell and foreknowledge of God That Luther and Caluine attempted to cast out diuels sped much like as the 7. sons of Scena did Act. 19. sect 9. This is a great slaunder inuented of them by a lying spirit yet it is most credibly reported of Luther that God by his hand wrought a miraculous worke vpon a yong man that had giuen himselfe bodie and soule to the diuell see the storie Foxpag 864. Against Melancthon they obiect that he auouched 3. sacraments Baptisme the Eucharist and Orders Harding defens apolog 162. Melancthon onely sayth thus That he can well call Orders a sacrament so that it be knowen from baptisme and the supper which in proper speech and verily be called sacraments In apolog confes August So another Sorbonist disputing with Friderike Danuile Martyr belyed Melancthon that in his booke of common places he should call auricular confession Euangelicum secretum A secrete of the gospell Fox pag. 921. Whereas Melancthon saith cleane contrary in that booke calling it a snare of the conscience and against the Gospell But aboue all other they haue a great spite at Caluine Harding accuseth him that hee should teach that where the death of Christ may bee remembred otherwise there all Sacraments bee superfluous Defens apolog pag. 185. But Caluine teacheth cleane contrarie Sic est exigua nostra fides saith he c. So smal is our faith that vnles it be borne vp of euery side by all meanes be held vp it wauereth and is like to fall By which words hee sheweth that wee haue great neede of such remedies because of the weakenes of our faith much lesse are they superfluous thus M. Harding by his leaue is proued a lyer The Rhemistes charge Caluine with this heresie that God is the author of sin Mat. 13. sect 2. Neither Caluine nor any of vs say so but we say hold as Augustine doth that God hardeneth the wicked not as an euill author but as a righteous iudge not by a bare permission or suffering as the papists teach but by withdrawing and withholding his grace deliuering thē to the deceit of sathan as a iust punishment of their sinnes thus Augustine at large Cont. Iulian. lib. 5. cap. 3. Thus also S. Paul affirmeth of the Idolatrous Gentils That God gaue thē ouer to their hart● lust Ro. 1. 24. Fulk ibid. That Caluine holdeth the second person to be God not as of God the father but as of him selfe Iohn 1. sect 3. Caluin teacheth that Christ is God of God the father in respect of his person as the sonne yet very God of himselfe in respect of his diuine nature and essence and of one and the same Godhead with his father which is not multiplied by cōmunication of generation but is one and most singular in al the three persons And this is sound and Catholik doctrine That Caluine teacheth that Christian mens children be so holie that they neede no baptisme 1. Corinth 7. sect 11. Rhemist A false slaunder for Caluine contrariwise doth reason against the Anabaptistes out of S. Paules wordes that because they are holie they are to be baptized That Caluine and Luther and their followers refuse to put their preaching to the triall of holy Councels Rhemist 2. Galath sect 3. It is false they neuer refused neither doe wee to put our doctrine to the conference of lawfull Councels but haue often desired that such a generall councel by consent of Christian princes might be gathered we onely refuse to be tried by popish councels such as the late Chapter of Trent was where the pope is both the partie accused and the Iudge That Caluine exhorteth all men to haue respect to S. Pauls Apostleship rather then vnto S. Peters as though the preaching authoritie and Apostleship of both were not alike true all of one holie spirit whether they preached to Iewes or Gentiles Galath 2. sect 6. See what sophistical cauilling here is Caluine maketh no difference of the truth of doctrine or Apostolike authoritie which was the same whether in Paule or in Peter but biddeth vs to keepe the difference of primacie distinction of prouinces made betweene them by the holie ghost that Paule should be the chiefe Apostle of the Gentils Peter of the circumcision Calu. lib. 4. Instit. 6. 14. Bellarmine seemeth to charge Caluine yet further that hee shoulde affirme Christum in cruce desperasse et esse damnatum That Christ did despaire vppon the crosse and was damned lib. 4. De Christi anima cap. 8. This is a grieuous slaunder Caluine only saith that it was necessarie that Christ should not onelie suffer in body but euen abide the wrath of God in his soule for the sinnes of the world which inforced him and not his bodilie paine to crie out vppon the crosse that hee was forsaken of his father This is neither heresie nor blasphemie but sound doctrine and agreable to scripture Our Rhemistes also in diuerse places haue a ●●ing at that reuerend and learned pastor M. Beza and finding no iust matter to vpbraid him withal they thus fondly picke quarrels against him Heare say

matrimonia As though now a daies very many priestes are not maried Aduers Iouinian lib. 1. And Damasus testifieth Complures inueniuntur qui de sacerdotib nati Apostolicae sedi praefuerunt Many are found that being priestes sonnes ruled the Apostolique sea of Rome as pope Syluerius pope Deusdedit pope Adriane 2. pope Iohn 15. and diuers other ex Gratian. M. Harding therefore hath faced vs out here in denying so euident a trueth We say plainely that S. Augustine affirmeth purgatorie and that it cannot be shewed where he doubteth of it Hard. pag. 354. And yet Augustine writeth thus speaking of purgatory Tale aliquid etiā post hanc vitam fieri incredibile non est vtrum ita sit quaeri potest Some such thing to be after this life it is not incredible whether it be so or no it may be a question ad Dulcitium quaest 1. Let any indifferent man now iudge whether Augustine doubteth of purgatorie or not That fornication was neuer allowed in the catholike Church he meaneth the Church of Rome Hard. pag. 7. defens apolog Neither haue the Canonistes euer taught the people that simple fornication is no sin pag. 411. For triall of this matter let vs heare what their canonistes say Etsi notoria sit fornicatio presbyterorū tamen non propter eā abstinendum est ab officijs illorum Although the fornication of priestes be notorious yet may no man therefore refraine from their seruice distinct 32. Nullus Iohan. Andre● M. Harding himselfe calleth the open Stewes in Rome a necessarie euil forauoiding of other disorders that would be greater Againe Qui non habet vxorem loco illius concubinam habere licet It is lawfull for him that hath no wife in stead of her to haue a concubine distinct 34. 15. qui. An other saith Si clericus amplectitur mul●erem laicus interpretabitur quòd causa benedicendi eam hoc faciat If a priest embrace a woman a lay man must iudge that he doth it with intent to blesse her 11. quaest 3. absit in glossa By this it may appeare what account the Church of Rome in time past hath made of fornication and whether it were tolerated amongst them or not Harding saith that the whores in Rome haue not free libertie of dwelling in the haunted streetes and pallaces but onely in outhouses and by-lanes neither is it lawfull for them to ride in Coches or Chariots but only to go a foote in the streetes and that by their short vailes a note of dishonestie they are discerned from honest women pag. 423. All these are descried to be manifest lyes and vntruthes for the Cardinals gaue cleane contrarie information to Pope Paul the third Meretrices in hac vrbe vt matronae incedunt mula vehuntur habitant insignes aedes the courtizans of this citie goe like honest matrones being carried vpon Mules dwel in the fairest houses ex Iuello defens Apol. 426. Thus we see what credite is to be giuē to master Harding what small conscience he maketh of a li● Master Harding impudently denyeth and so do other Papistes that a woman named Ioan was euer Pope of Rome that there is no such image representing a woman in trauaile nor no such chaire for proofe of the Popes humanitie at his creation neither that the Popes in their procession refraine to go that way where the said Pope Ioane in the middest of a solemne procession fel in trauel P. 428. Yet the storie is reported by Marianus Scotus that liued an 1028. Sigibert Gemblacens that liued ann 1100. Martinus Polonus the Popes Penitentiarie who wrote ann 1320. witnesses of great antiquitie B. Iuell reckoneth vp 16. authors beside that report the same thing none of them all Lutherans That there is such an image representing such a fact that the Pope of purpose refraineth that way it is testified by Theodoricus Niemus the Popes Secretarie And concerning the holow chaire of Porphyrie stone which is kept for such an vse Sabellicus doth report Enead 9. li. 1. plura apud Iuell P. 433. Now who is more like to be the lier M. Harding a new vpstart writer or these so many auncient witnesses I thinke it is not hard to iudge He denieth the storie of Iohn Diazius death how hauing bin a doctor of Sorbona in Paris afterward conuerted to the Gospel was most traiterously slaine by his owne brothers Alphonsus Diazius man at Nuburg in Germanie how he was sent vp by his master with a carpenters axe to kill him so he did his master Alphonsus waiting below and the quarel was because good Iohn Diazius would not returne to Poperie againe this is the truth of the storie as it is faithfully reported by Iohn Sleidan li. 17. Yet M. Harding saith we ●el manie lies at once P. 435. what now wil not these good fellowes denie That the Pope euer cōmaunded any such seruice to be done vnto him as that the Emperour should hold his stirrop lead his horse by the brydle ye can neuer shew it by any credible witnesse Harding Pag. 463. yet in the Popes own booke of Ceremonies ca. 8. it is found thus writen The Emperor cōmeth to the popes horse in honor of our Lord Iesus Christ whose person in earth the Pope beareth hee holdeth the stirrop till the Pope be mounted and afterward he taketh the brydle and leadeth foorth his horse This is the Popes owne prescription in his booke of Ceremonies And therefore Pope Hadrian 2. was angrie with the Emperour Frederike for holding his stirrop on the wrong side Gregor Haimburgens in appellat Sigismund It seemeth therefore that the Pope looked for this seruice of duetie It is denyed that the Pope put in armes Henricus 5. against Henrie the fourth his father Hard. 469. Yet is it reported by an author of good credit Paschalis Papa Principes contra Henricum 4. concitauit imo eius proprium filium Pope Paschalis raised vp the Nobilitie against Henry the fourth yea his owne sonne Gregor Haimburgens He denieth that euer any of them taught that Gods sayings and precepts be voide except the Bishop of Rome ratifie them pag. 487. Yet are they the verie wordes of Siluester Prierias master of the Popes pallace A doctrina Romanae ecclesiae Romani Pontificis sacra scriptura robur trahit authoritatem The holie Scripture taketh strength and authoritie of the doctrine of the Romane Church and of the Bishop of Rome Siluest Prier contr Lutherum He saith it is a slaunder that any of them should call the Scriptures dumbe and vnprofitable pag. 535.
