to death by the croud and others thrust into the River And yet such great Fairs or Marts would not satisfy the avarice of some of the Popes but they sent afterwards their pardons to remote places to be sold Alexander VI. the year after his Jubilee sent his Indulgences far off to be sold In Germaniam saith my Author atque alias longinquas Provincias Diplomata cum amplissimis Jubilei Indulgentiis misit passimque vendidit propter eos qui Romam venire neglexerunt vel venire non potuerunt This was pretended to be for the sakes of those that neglected or could not come to Rome at the Jubilee By his Legates he sold them Pardons every where passim vendidit Buchol a Volater anno 1500. This Simony hath greatly helped to enrich the Popes and to bear them up in their high Exaltation in the World. Are these likely to be Successors of the Apostles and to sit in the Apostolick Seat Who said Love not the World neither the things that are in the World. If any Man love the World the love of the Father is not in him 1 John 2.15 3. This Innovation or inventition of Selling Pardons of Sins absolutely destroys the Popes infallibility transplanting him out of Peter into Simon Magus that is out of that Spirit that was in Peter into that Spirit that was in Simon Magus So that although the Pope pretend to be Peters Successor Yet he is fallen from Peter to Simon Magus The Spirit that was in Peter abhorred the very thought of Selling the Spiritual gifts of God for Money But the Spirit that Simon Magus was of and so the Popes are of hath thought that the Spiritual gifts of God may be purchased with Mony This is a great fall to fall from one to whom the Key of the Kingdom of Heaven was committed to one whom he Excluded out of the Kingdom and turned the Key against him Saying Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter Thou art in the gall of bitterness and bond of Iniquity And what was the ground of all this great Severity only this Because saith Peter thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with mony Act. 8.18 to 24. And is not this very thought the Popes thought Now I entreat you weigh these things Is not the pardon of Sins one of the greatest gifts of God And does not the Pope think that it may be purchased with Money seeing he sells it Is not here the same thought that was in Simon Magus for which he was so severely sentenced by Peter and Excluded by him from all right in dispensing the Spiritual Gifts of God Will you say that Peter condemned this thought in Simon Magus but is of another mind now and approves of it in the Pope If so then you will condemn Peter as one faln from his own Stedfastness and not the Pope If you say the Pope doth not think as Simon did he doth not think that the Spiritual Gift of God may be purchased with Money then I say He is still the worse to sell that Spiritual Gift the Pardon of Sins for Money which he thinks cannot be purchased for Money For in so doing he both robs them of their Money and deceives their Souls making them believe a Lie. And if the Case be so with the Pope as it was with Simon Magus who thought that the Gift of God might be purchased with Money where is his Infallibility yea where is his power to pardon Sin Do you think that Simon Magus had power to pardon Sin Or that one in his Sin hath power so to do Seeing he that was guilty of that Sinful Carnal Thought is excluded with him from having any part or lot in dispensing the Spiritual Gifts of God except you will make Peter partial in excluding one and not another who is in the same fault Again doth not this also help to confirm that the Pope being faln from Peter to Simon Magus is that faln Star mentioned before 4. Another Innovation was that called Annatae An Invention very near of Kin to the selling of Pardons for this is a kind of selling of Benefices For they were not to enjoy Benefices but under this Condition that they should pay half of the yearly profit into the Popes Treasury This and the selling of Pardons hugely increased the Popes Treasure Quae res Blondo Platina testibus Pontifices Romanos Bonifacii Successores non minus Christiani Orbis quam Vrbis Dominos reddidit These things made him Lord as well of the whole Christian World as of the City You may see more of this in the Year 1400 from the Nativity of Christ quoted by Bucholcer Where he saith This Custom all submitted to except in England where the same was yielded to concerning the Bishops but not in other Benefices Now if we may not call this Symony what other name shall we give it Seeing it is a kind of selling and buying of Spiritual Benefices as they are called And judge Ye whether Peter or Paul or any other of the Apostles made filthy Lucre the Door by which they let men into the Ministry as the Popes do And yet the Pope call'd this Treasury into which this is paid The Apostolick Treasury As if the Apostles had set up or used such an Earthly Treasury I mention this invention because it was one thing that greatly strengthened the Popes in their high Exaltation And also because it impairs the Popes Infallibility to see them act so contrary to the Spirit of the Holy Apostles of Christ and yet giving it some Title to the Apostles by calling this the Apostolick Treasury 5. Another Innovation is the Popes Usurpation of a Power over Emperors Kings Princes and People in their Temporal concerns So as with a Word he can dethrone one and have another set up at his pleasure under his Dominion Was there any thing that tended to this in any of the Apostles Practises or Doctrine Or for many Ages and Generations after them Were not the Bishops in Subjection as to temporal affairs under the Princes of the World And not one of them authoritatively above another until wicked Phocas gave the Precedency to ambitious Boniface 3. And yet then he did not give him power over himself or over any secular Princes So that this was an Usurpation and Innovation of the Popes afterwards and was practised by some of them and they got it decreed in some of their Councils And Boniface 8. who first instituted the Mercenary Jubilees the same Year that he celebrated the first Jubilee Writ That he was Lord in Temporals and Spirituals in the whole World. Of whom it is recorded by Platina thus Qui Imporatoribus Regibus Principibus Nationibus populis terrorem potius quàm Religionem injicere conabatur quique dare regna auferre pellere homines ac reducere pro arbitrio animi conabatur c. His endeavour was to be a Terror to Emperors and Kings Princes
