received opinion of their chief Doctors and Casuists especially the Jesuits and their Adherents who bear the great sway in the Church and Court of Rome This I could shew at large by producing the concurrent testimonies of Becanus and Bellarmine Suarez and Lessius Mariana and Santarell Bonarscius or Scribanius which ye will and Emanuel Sa and divers others I shall only quote the sayings of one or two for all Kings have no wrong done them saith Bellarmine if they are depriv'd of their Kingdoms when they prove Heretics Nec ulla eis injuria fiet si deponantur And again Hereticum est saith he 't is a point of Heresie to say that the Pope as Pope has not power Jure Divino by Divine right to depose Kings but indeed you must understand him right 't is onely in ordine ad spiritualia viz. Cùm id bonum spirituale sive ingens Ecclesiae necessitas requirit when the caus of God and the Church when the Catholic caus or if you will when the Good Caus shall require it And a little after Pontificem habere potestatem deponendi Principes est de fide the Pope's power of deposing Kings is a matter of faith and therefore to hold the contrary must needs be a point of heresie No marvel we are counted Heretics for denying this article of the Romish Creed and no marvel saith Lessius that it is De fide and we are bound to believ it as an article of faith seeing it hath been determin'd and given as an Oracle out of the Infallible Chair for Gregory the 7th aliàs Hildebrand has decided it long ago in express terms in a Council held at Rome 600 years since Quòd Papae liceat Imperatores deponere and saith Santarel whose Book being Printed at Rome was burnt at Paris Ringente Papâ multùm frendentibus Jesuitis Potest Papa Reges movere mortis poenâ punire depose Kings and put 'um to death and that sine Concil●o Papa sine Concilio deponit Imperatorem si sit Haereticus How does he prove it Quoniam Papae Christi unum est tribunal And again Qui Religionem Catholicam Romanam deserit regnandi jus omne amittit that 's down-right so says our Countryman F. Creswell in his Philopater I shall name but one more and that is Emanuel Sa in his Aphorisms Verbo Clericus Clerici rebellio in Regem non est crimen laesae Majestatis quia Principi non est subditus Excellent Jesuitical Doctrine enough to make Kings and Princes in love with Jesuites as long as they live A Church-man cannot be guilty of treason because he is none of the Prince's Subjects and no marvel as long as he is one of the Pope's Vassals But this wu'd not serv F. Garnet's turn who was convicted and found notoriously guilty of this day's treason by his own confession and suffer'd accordingly 'T is true this Aphorism of Em. Sa's either for shame or rather for fear is left out of the Paris Edition this Doctrine being not so current in France as at Rome but 't is still extant in the first Colen Impression and in that of Antwerp Well it seems this is the new Heresy of the Jesuits as a late Author even a Papist calls it and these Doctrines they commonly vent and publish in their Books Printed Con Licenza at Rome and elswhere nor did they ever retract or recant them as far as I could hear I know what is commonly pleaded and pretended of late by our Romanists viz. that these dangerous destructive King-killing Doctrines are but the private Tenets and Opinions of some particular Doctors and were never own'd and receiv'd as the public Doctrines of the Romish Church nor ever decreed nor confirm'd by the Church of Rome in a Council And this is the last and latest 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the newest shift and refuge they have found out for themselvs But let me ask 'um 1. Is not the voice of their Pope Boniface the 8th claiming a right to the Temporal Sword by vertue of Ecce duo gladii and Repone gladium in Vaginam and the like and when he told King Philip of France Scire te volumus We wu'd have you to know that you are Subject to us both in Spirituals and Temporals I say is not this Vox Ecclesiae the public voice of the Church of Rome Let me ask 'um 2. Has not that of their Pope Gregory the 7th aliàs Hildebrand Nos nos Imperia Regna Principatus quicquid habere mortales possunt auferre dare posse as Platina has it in his life 'T is in our power to give and take away Empires and Kingdoms at our pleasure I say has not this fine Hildebrandine Doctrine been the public acknowledged Doctrine of their Popes and of their Church at least of the Court of Rome ever since 3. Was the 4th Lateran Council under Innocent the 3d a General Council or no If not as sure it was not nothing being fully and openly determin'd in it saith Platina Nec decerni quicquam apertè potuit how then comes their Transubstantiation to be made an Article of Faith by vertue of a Decree of that Council If it was a lawful Oecumenical Council as they will needs have it then that the Pope has power to absolv Subjects from their Oath of Allegiance and fealty to their Princes is a receiv'd authentic Doctrine of their Church for that they confess was decreed in a Canon of that Lateran Council under Pope Innocent 4. Suppose these King-killing Doctrines are not publicly own'd and declar'd to be the Doctrines of their Church nor decreed in their Councils either of Lateran Florence or Trent are they a whit the less dangerous and pernicious for that seeing they are the current Opinions of their most learned Casuists Doctors and Confessors commonly receiv'd and embrac'd I and openly publish'd and printed by their greatest Clarks among 'um and that without any check or controul yea with great Approbation Licence and liking But now 5 and lastly If in good earnest the Church of Rome disallows and renounces these dangerous Doctrines and Opinions so destructive to Kings and Kingdoms then I pray let his Holiness seat himself in his Chair and condemn these Doctrines as he did or wu'd have seem'd to do those of the Jansenists lately let him limit his Ordo ad Spiritualia and disclaim and quit his Temporal Monarchy let him disown all power so much as indirect over Princes Temporals let him confine himself within his own Precincts and Territories and renounce his Catholic Supremacy and his Universal Jurisdiction over all the Kingdoms and Churches of Christendom Let the Church of Rome publicly declare to the world in Print that she disowns and disclaims these treasonable disloyal Loiolitical Principles these pestilent pernicious Antimonarchical Tenets of the Canonists and Jesuits and then we may hope that our Romanists may be good Subjects But till this be done and while the Doctrine of
