much vnto free-will that he seemeth to come very high to the heresie of Pelagius as may be gathered out of the 28. chap. of Augustins booke de Heresibus The Scriptures teach that Christ onely hath satisfied for our sinne 1.

But the Pope teacheth that wee must by our abilitie merite satisfie and answer the iustice of God The Scripture teacheth that we are onely iustified by faith in Christ and that freely vnto life eternall and that our saluation is to be accounted and esteemed as obtained by the onely mercie of God Esay 43. 25. Ioh. 3. 6. Act. 10. Eph. 2. 8. Heb. 24. But the Pope hee teacheth that wee not onely haue not our saluation by faith alone but that wee may merit and deserue euerlasting life by our workes and demerits Further that there is in the masse application made of all Christes benefits ex opere operato that is by the deede done or for the workes sake Finally that the masse beeing applied in the behalf of others though they be vnrighteous persons so that them selues put no barre and be no hinderance of the same doeth merite the remission both of the guilt and of the punishment thereof The Scripture teacheth that iustifying faith is a sure confidence reposed in Christ or els thus a sure confidēce of the remission of our sinnes for Christs sake Rom. 4. 19. c. But the Pope he teacheth that faith is nothing but a knowledge of the historie and a doubtfulnes of the remission of sinnes The Scripture teacheth that euen the regenerate man whilest he is in this life can not perfectly obserue and fulfill the Lawe of God Roman 7.

Mark 20. 25. Luk. 22. 25 27. In like manner the Canons of the Apostles commaund that hee should be remooued and deposed from his office who so euer should beare both ciuill and ecclesiastical iurisdiction But the Pope who boasteth that he is the Vicar of Christ and the Successour of Peter doth arrogate to him selfe both ciuill and ecclesiasticall authority as hereafter we will shew more at large The Scripture saith there are onely two Sacraments of the new Testament properly so called Baptisme and the Supper of the Lord of which the one is ordained Math. 28. and Mark 16. The other Math. 26. Mark 14. Luk. 22. 1. Cor. 11. But the Pope holdeth that they be seuen The Scripture teacheth that the vulgar tongue with an euident significant a loud and distinct pronuntiation is to be vsed in the Church or the meetings of the godly that whatsoeuer is spokē might be easily vnderstood and approoued by the people 1.

But the Pope teacheth that it is transubstantiated and chaunged into the bodie of Christ The Scripture teacheth that bread in the Lords Supper is a token of remembrance or a signe of the bodie of Christ once offred vp as a sacrifice for vs and that the body of Christ once giuen for vs and his blood shed is not offered againe vpon the alter by vs in the supper but is eaten and drunken for the confirmation of our faith in Christ and for to stirre vp thankesgiuing in vs Hebr. 9. 28. and 10. 12.

Luk. 24. 39. 1. Cor. 11. 26. But the Pope feigneth that the bodie of Christ is inuisible and insensible and so altogether diuerse and vnlike vnto ours and such a one as may be in many places at one time that is to say that a bodie is present but not as a bodie in deede The Scripture teacheth that not onely the Ministers of the worde but others also which be faithfull ought to take eate and drinke the breade and wine in the Lordes Supper Luk. 22. 17. 1. Corinth 11. 20.

former beautie first in Germanie Switserland then in England Scotland France Flanders Denmarke other prouinces And though that vnluckie contention concerning the supper of the Lorde did straightwaie beginne amongst the preachers of the Gospell euen in the beginning thereof and continueth also vnto this day Satan endeauouring thereby to hinder and staie the cause of the gospell yet we are to thinke thus First that Sathan hath not now begun but hath practised long agoe to set at variance the holy seruants of God as Paul and Barnabas and againe the same Paul and Peter with others more secondlie that as concerning the foundation of the doctrine religion of Christ all things necessarie vnto saluation there hath alwaies bene and still is an agreement betwixt those men who are the restorers of this gospell which now beginneth to take life againe For hauing consuted merit and trust reposed in workes wherwith miserable men were bewitched in time of Poperie both parties agreed that our whole saluation consisteth in the merites of Christ onely the difference is in the supper of the Lorde concerning the corporall presence and the bodily eating and that the same is common vnto the godlie and the wicked as the one part defendeth and so not necessarie vnto saluation Thirdly it is no great maruell if in the beginning of reformation as it were in the dawning of the day all things were not at the first well considered for it can scarsely be declared what a deep gulfe of ignorance was in popery and what an horrible darkenesse by reason of errours And doubtlesse it was a verie great miracle wrought by God that those first doctours of the gospell could arise from thence in so litle and short space And although the Iesuites which are lately sprong vp indeauour to heale this wounde of Antichrist yet shall they neuer fullie cure the same Finally he shalbe destroied in the last daie of Christ when he returneth to iudgement and shalbe cast into the lake of fire and brimstone according vnto the prophecie before declared In the meane season we are patiently to beare that persecution wherwith he oppresseth vs and we must not for his tyranie leaue or forsake the profession of the truth Which things sith they are all true it followeth that the Pope since the death of Gregorie the great and the murther of Mauritius the Emperour is that Antichrist whome we haue before described out of the Prophecies of the Prophets and Apostles For whether they consider the doctrine or behold the maners and actions of the Pope they all agree vnto these prophecies and though heretofore there were controuersie touching primacie there were diuers errours and they not small concerning the doctrine yet afterwarde the desire of bearingsway did more breake forth Idolatrie and impietie was encreased and at the length Boniface the third obtained of Phocas the Emperour that whosoeuer should be the Bishop of auncient Rome should also bee esteemed as vniuersall Bishop that Rome shoulde be accounted the heade of all Churches and that this priuiledge might be traduced to their successours and within a while after others of them chalenged both the swords for themselues established this by decree that the Masse was a sacrifice propitiatorie for the liuing and the dead and to conclude they made Rome a sanctuarie for Idols Hitherto wee haue shewed who this great Antichrist is But as in the former question the Papistes doe differ from vs what Antichrist should be so likewise in this latter who Antichrist should be for as they doe define Antichrist otherwise then we so doe they vtterly denie that the Pope of Rome is that Antichrist For the Pope with his adherents now playing the part of Antichrist doeth feigne another Antichrist and teacheth that he is yet to come least he himselfe should bee thought to be the Antichrist indeed Of whose opinion and their reasons we will say more as occasion shall be offered for the manner of our positions will not now permit vs to speake of the same God the Father graunt for our Lorde Iesus Christes sake that men may learne to knowe and to abhorre that Antichrist the most dangerous enemie of Christ and the Church and may likewise learne more and more to loue and worship Christ FINIS Doctor Sohn publike professor of Diuinitie at Heidelberg The matter of this booke No vnion of the two religions The

when after a watch word giuen the Eucharist was taken away hee would by his conspiratours haue killed the two brethren Iulianus and Laurentius Medices and did indeede slay the one and wound the other as Raphael Volateran recordeth in the 5 of his Geographie In Leo the tenth who is reported to haue answered vnto Peter Bembus when hee alledged a saying out of the Gospell What doest thou alledge or tell me of that fable Hee is also blasphemous in that he claimeth for his owne that which is Gods doeth speake against God namely when he saieth that he is God and of equall power with Christ the head and spouse of the Church the which we haue more fully opened before Further when he affirmeth that the Scripture is obscure and imperfect and doubtfull and that hee may interprete it as he listeth and may make new articles of faith and yet he neither erreth herein nor is to be controlled by any As also when he boasteth that he can graunt indulgences and pardons and remission of all sinnes to whom soeuer he will He is also ambitious and proud both in his wordes and deedes because hee beeing euen sicke of an vnsaciable thirst after honour and vnlawfull desire of lordlinesse doeth set vp himselfe aboue the Church aboue councils aboue all magistrates and accounteth all Emperours kings and princes which are in Europe to be but his vassals his tenauntes and almost his slaues and drudges hee treadeth them vnder his feete Of which pride and arrogancie of his we before brought testimonies euen out of the Canon lawe but nowe wee will bring others like vnto them out of the booke which is called Liber ceremoniarum Romanae curiae Where it is saide that all men of what honour or preheminence soeuer they be so soone as they come within the sight of the Pope ought to bowe their knees thrise obseruing equall distance of pace and to kisse his feete Further when the Pope doeth get vp on horse-backe the greatest prince of them which be present though he be a king or Emperour must hold the Popes stirrup then lead the horse by the bridle a little on the way But if that the Pope be not carried on horsebacke but on his chaire whether hee be king or Emperour that is present it skilleth not they must cary the seate it selfe with the Pope in it a while vpon their shoulders Againe that the prince of the city into which the Pope shall enter though he be a king shall leade the popes horse by the bridle or if the pope be caried in his chaire shall together with the chiefe of his Nobles carry the same a good way then when the pope commandeth him the king shall take his horse ride according vnto his place Further the Emperor must at the baket holde water for the pope to wash his hands And moreouer when the pope hath a feast the Emperor or els the king of the Romans must cary the first messe or seruice And to conclude the pope doth no reuerence at all to any mā only he raiseth vp himselfe when the Emperour kisseth him For examples these are chiefly to be noted first of the pope in generall who offreth his feet to be kissed of the Emperor kings princes Cardinals bishops the rest Then specially of pope Sylvester of whome it is reported that for the honour of S. Peter Pseudoconstantinus or that feigned Constātine helde his horse bridle in his hād when he tooke horse and plaid the gentleman vsher or sergeant before him Dist 96. Thirdly of pope Hadrian the fourth who was very angry with Fredericke the Emperour and did in reproch obiect vnto him that when as hee woulde haue helde his stirrup at his lighting downe from his horse he came and helde not the further stirrup as hee should but the other And that he also had set the Emperours name before the popes in certain letters which were sent vnto him Fourthly of Alexander the third who set one foote in the necke of Fredericke the Emperour when he was prostrate and suppliant at his feet in the Cathedrall Church of Venice that he might haue his excommunication released and commanding that the verse of Psalme should be song of his priests Thou shult walke vpon the Serpent and the Basiliske thou shalt tread vnder foote the Lyon and the Dragon Fiftly of Boniface the eight Anno 1300 who shewed himselfe at Rome in a great assembly of the people by reason of a Iubile then solemnized the first day of the solemnitie with all the ornaments of the Pope and the next day hee came foorth clad with the Emperours robe or coate armour and commaunded a drawne sword to be caried before him himselfe crying with a loud voice I am both Pope Emperor haue authoritie both in heauen earth within few dayes after did proudly reiect Albertus who was created Emp. by the electours of the Empire desired to be confirmed by him Affirming moreouer that no election could be authenticall which was made without his authority sith that he alone had the authoritie of both the swords which when Albertus Crautzius superintendent of the church of Hanburgh reciteth hee maketh this exclamation O Peter behold thy successour O Sauiour Christ behold thy Vicar beholde the pride of the feruant of thy seruants vnto what height he is now come He is also lawlesse because hee doeth what he listeth he abolisheth the lawes which Christ hath made maketh new at his owne pleasure and because he will be iudged of no man but aduanceth himselfe aboue lawe as wee shewed heretofore Whereof we haue example in the forbidding of the mariage of Priestes and certaine meats of the chalice in the Lords supper which is contrary vnto the reuealed will of God and of Christ our Lord. Further in dispensing with degrees contrarie to the lawe of God and nature as that Pope Martin the fift gaue dispensation that a man might take his owne sister to wife And that others haue dispensed that any man might mary two sisters his fathers sister or his mothers or any woman two brethren her vncle by her fathers side or by her mothers and that which some also of the schoolemen doe teach vpon the 4. sent dist 34. Caietan secunda secundae Thomae quaest 154 Art 9. to wit that the Pope may dispense with all degrees excepting the mariage of the father and the sonne with the daughter and the mother He is also a single man but yet a filthy fornicatour because that hee in forbidding mariage vnto his clergie the Nuns commandeth single life The authous defenders of the which law are these especially Siricius the pope C. plurimos dist 82. Greg. 7. Calixtus 6. Presbyteris dist 27. Leo. dist 32. per totū Innocentius c. proposuisti dist 82. c. Sacerdoticus seq dist 31. Leo the tenth other more But on the contrary hee permitteth concubines brothel houses

the citie of Rome with Italie Sicilie Sardinia Spaine Germanie and Britaine were giuen vnto him by that Emperour Againe he is taken in manifest contradictions in that hee sometime affirmeth that the same deed of gift was made vnto Sylvester the Pope by Constantine sometime before Sylvester by the same Constantine sometime by Ludovicus Pius sonne to Charles the great cap.

Sometime that both he preferreth Peter before the rest of the Apostles and ascribeth the primacie to him alone cap. sacrosancta dist 22. and else where In that hee saieth that the election of the Pope ought to be made by the consent and approbation of the Emperour and that the Pope is in subiection to the Emperours lawes and statutes and that the Emperour excelleth him in temporalities c. 22. 22. dist 63. c. 9. 3. dist 10. 2. q. 7. can 1.

Sometime he auoucheth the contrarie as c. 2. dist 40. In that somtime he wils that priests bishops shuld only be occupied in matters spiritual not tēporal dist 36. 38. cōmanding also that he shuld be remoued frō his functiō who bereth both ciuil Ecclesiastical magistracy at one the same time in Can. Ap. quos approbat Can. 8. Sometime he chalengeth both the powers and both the swordes vnto himselfe and to his Bishoppes as was shewed heretofore In that he graunteth sometimes yea commaundeth mariage vnto Priestes C. si quis docuerit dist 28. C. quoniam Dist 31. C. si quis nuptias dist 3 Somtimes hee doth altogether forbid them mariage as we shewed before In that sometime hee commandeth the entire and perfite vse of the Sacrament of the supper of the Lord excommunicating them also which otherwise shall doe De Consec c. comperimus dist 2. Sometimes hee forbiddeth the people to receiue the Cuppe In Concil Constant sess 13. In that he willeth sometime that all should communicate in the supper of the Lorde that is should take eate and drinke and doeth excommunicate them who doe otherwise De consecrat c. per Acta dist 2. sometimes hee debarreth the Laity and defendeth that this is onely lawfull for the priests vt inprivata Missa In that he saith that the Pope is to be iudged of no man vnlesse he be founde to erre from the faith c. si papa dist 40. Sometimes he saith that the Pope Discorus is excommunicate though hee hath not erred in the faith Quaest 2. Can. sane profertur vers item Romanorū Furthermore in that hee maketh his promise but keepeth it not saying that promise is not to bee kept with heretikes as in concil Constant In that he sometime affirmeth nowe denieth verie impudently by the Iesuites and others that Pope Iohn the eight was a woman that the chaire of inquirie by which the Pope created is pronoūced capable or vncapable was vsed since that time which is contrarie vnto so many euident testimonies of Hystoriographers and euen of them who haue bene Papists both olde and newe as Marianus Scotus Anno 1080 orthereabout Sigebert the Monke anno 1110.

Stella of Venice Nauclerus Albertus Crantzius and the authour of Fasciculus Temporum Baptista Mantuan Caelius Rhodignius and of others who doe beare witnesse of this feminine or woman Pope whose entire recordes are not long since put forth into print In that he hath not onely put counterfeits in stead of the right bookes especially in the Monuments of the Fathers but doeth also corrupt cancell chop and change them as may appeare both in that hee corrupteth the Latine Bible and obstinately defendeth the corruptions which do many times disagree from the Hebrewe and Greeke copies and in that he now altereth and changeth the writings of the fathers which being thus made vnperfect hee setteth foorth and alledgeth them as they are set forth according to these Editions Example wherof to omit others which might plentifully be brought in this place and haue bene also alledged by others heretofore wee haue afforded vnto vs by Iohn Gibbons an English Iesuite doctour of diuinitie and professour at Triens in disputatione de sanctis Thes 207. alledging a place out of Augustine Lib. 8. cap. 27. de civitate Dei for his owne purpose but as it seemeth out of an imperfect and counterfeit copie in this manner Wee appoint Churches and orders of Priestes and holy rites and sacrifices vnto the martyrs not for that they be good but because their God is ours c. Whereas other editions are thus Yet doe not wee appoint temples orders of Priestes holy rites and sacrifices vnto the saintes c. And the scope and drift of Augustine will not admit of that sense which the Iesuite woulde haue but doeth necessarily require this which is all in all our Copies Further in that hee feigneth many reliques of the saintes which neither are nor possibly can be true vnlesse we would graunt that there be many bodies many heades many armes of one saint or holie man For if so bee that all the reliques of the Saintes were brought together the bodies of the saintes would not be onely verie vaste for their quantitie of huge bignesse and verie monstrous for the number of the members but also oftentimes there woulde bee more bodies then one of
