THE PAPACY OF Paul the Fourth OR THE RESTITUTION OF ABBY LANDS AND IMPROPRIATIONS An indispensable condition of Reconciliation to the Infallible SEE c. LONDON Printed for Richard Royston Bookseller to His most Sacred Majesty 1673. THE EPISTLE DEDICATORY The Publisher to my Lord Viscount Mountague MY LORD I Once thought to have dedicated these papers sent me by a friend to some of the most eminent of our Protestant Clergy but I considered the Romane Church had carried their interest higher by much than any other and therefore it must be singular Piety an high Self-denial and a sincere love of God that must secure their opposition to the growing greatness of Rome amongst us I therefore quitted that thought and in the next place designed to address my self to some person of great Quality of the Protestant Religion but then I considered that great ●ffices Favour and Interest with some great Men might be preferred to their concer●s in Abby-lands and render them cooler than cur cause requires My last refuge then was to cast this small thing into your Lordships Arms and Protection a Noble man of a great and ancient Extraction and therefore I hope not willing to exalt more than needs the dominion of the Priests Besides though your Religion be of the Romish Faith yet your dependence is not on Offices and Preferments nor can they countervail so great an Estate in Land and you may be content to be saved in the private exercise of your own Religion though the Protestant be uppermost nay much better saved than if the Church of Rome returning triumphant reduce you from an Estate in Land of ten thousand pound per annum to a Lease from an Abby of two or three hundred pounds a year which however it may exalt your Faith must undoubtedly destroy your Charity What terms you are certainly to expect if England ever submit its self to the See of Rome the Author out of whom these papers are extracted a man of unquestioned Credit and of your own Religion will inform you which your Lordship of all other persons hath reason to believe because one of your Ancestors was employed to Rome in the very Ambassy here mentioned and you must needs have amongst the papers of your Family if they are extant authentick proofs to confirm it Your LORDSHIPS most Humble Servant I. S. THE EPISLE to the READER Reader I Am abundantly satisfied that the strenuous attempts a-against the Religion of Romane Catholicks made by the zealous Assertors of the Protestant Cause do amount to but little more than an Endeavour to fortify these two Objections First that it is in not a few instances manifestly different from and repugnant to the Doctrine of our Saviour and his Apostles delivered in the New Testament Secondly that it is highly prejudicial to the Secular interest violates the due Liberty and infringes the rights of Princes and their Subjects Now how well they have quitted themselves as to the former of these Charges I leave those to determine who with an unbiassed and impartial mind have oonverst with their Writings but as to the latter thou wilt be sufficiently enabled to pass a true judgment concerning it by putting thy self to the small pains of perusing this short Narrative From hence thou wilt as throughly understand what obligation lieth upon this Kingdom especially from the consideration of its Civil interest to return into the bosome of our Holy Mother as thou wilt from the Doughty defences of of her Sons against the Assaults of her troublesome Adversaries what necessity our Consciences and the concerns of our Souls do impose upon us to persevere in our Separation Thou wilt clearly perceive by these few leaves how much Princes consult the security of their Government and advancement of their Soveraignty and Subjects the preservation of their Estates and Fortunes by their filial obedience and entire subjection to the Apostolick See And that thou mayst not have the least suspition concerning the truth of the following Narrative I assure thee I have most faithfully taken it from Father Paul a person of unquestion'd integrity and that lived and died in the Communion of the Romane Church As thou mayst be satisfied by comparing it with his relation of the Government of Pope Paul the Fourth in his exact History of the Council of Trent For which as the Christian Church is highly obliged to him upon many other accounts so particularly for the Life of this Zealous Pope in which his extraordinary kindness for two things is more especially remarkable because they seem to stand in no small need of so Great an Authority to recommend them viz. Perjury and an Inquisition Besides that we may learn from this Pope how exceedingly convenient Infallibility is for the Catholick Church when we see that it may sometimes fall out that a Pope may be but little better than a mad-man In which case Infallibility must needs be a very great Security to the Catholick Faith E. A. THE PAPACY OF PAUL The FOURTH IN the Year of our Lord One thousand five hundred fifty and five Marcellus Cervinus was Created Pope and retained his Name but having sate no more than twenty two daies died The Cardinals being assembled again in the Conclave he of Ausburg assisted by Morone made great instance that among the Capitulations which the Cardinals were to swear to one should be that the future Pope should by Counsel of the Colledg call another Synod within two years to finish the Reformation begun to determine the Controversies of Religion that remained and to find a means to cause the Councel of Trent to be received in Germany And the Colledg of the Cardinals being full it was capitulated that the Pope should not Create more than four within two years The three and twentieth day of the next moneth John Peter Caraffa who called himself Paulus Quartus was Created He took it for a great glory that the three English Ambassadors dispatched in the time of Julius entred Rome the first day of his Papacy and the first Consistory after the Coronation was publick The Ambassadors were brought into it who prostrating themselves at the Popes feet did in the name of the Kingdom acknowledg the faults committed relating them all in particular for so the Pope would have it confessing they had been ungrateful for so many benefits received from the Church and humbly craving pardon for it The Pope did pardon them took them up from the ground and embraced them and to honour their Majesties who sent them gave the title of a Kingdom to Ireland granting them this Dignity by the Authority which the Pope hath from God being placed over ☜ all Kingdoms to supplant those that are Contumacious and to build new But it did not then seem a fit time to say he had power from God to build up and overthrow Kingdoms Henry the Eighth after his separation from the Pope made Ireland a Kingdom and called himself King of England France
