himself saith of Christ in reference to his ascending into heaven The Lord said unto my Lord sit thou at my right hand untill I make thine enemies thy footstool Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly That God hath made the same Jesus whom ye have crucified both Lord and Christ Which he thus seconded both before the Councel and High Priest of the Jews Acts 5. 31 32. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour for to give repentance to Israel and forgivenesse of sins and we are witnesses of these things And in his Sermon to Cornelius Acts 10. 36. he addes He not I is Lord of all Which St. Paul whom he stiles Our beloved brother and fellow Apostle and whose Epistles he voucheth as concurring with his own 2 Pet. 3 15 16. thus amplifies 1 Cor. 15. 24 25 26. For Christ must reign till he hath put all his enemies under his feet the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death Then cometh the end when he shall deliver up the Kingdom to God even the Father when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power Compared with Ephes 1. 20 21 22. Col. 1. 17 18 19. Phil. 2. 9 10 11. 2 Tim. 5. 14 15 16. And St. John thus thirds Rev. 11. 15 16 17. And there were great voices in heaven saying The Kingdoms of the world are become the Kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ and He not St. Peter or the Pope his pretended successor shall reign for ever and ever And the twenty four Elders fell upon their faces and worshipped God saying We give thee thanks O Lord God Almighty which art wast and art to come because thou hast taken to thee not delegated to the Pope or St. Peter thy great power and hast reigned And Rev. 19. 6. I heard as the voyce of a great multitude and as of mighty thunderings saying Allelujah for the Lord God omnipotent not Pope reigneth Moreover David in relation to the Kingdom Kingship of Christ after his resurrection and ascension assures us Psal 29. 10. The Lord sitteth King for ever Psal 97. 1. The Lord reigneth let the earth rejoyce let the multitude of Isles be glad thereof Yea Dan. 2. 44. c. 4. 3 34. c. 6. 26. c. 7. 14 27. Luke 1. 33. It was prophesied and predicted of Christ That his Kingdom shall never be destroyed that his Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and his Dominion an everlasting Dominion from generation to generation without any inter-regnum or succession and shall be even unto the end and shall not passe away or be transferred and shall not be left to other people therefore not to St. Peter or Roman Pontiffs of several Nations and all Dominions shall serve and obey him not St. Peter or Popes Compared with Mich. 4. 7. And the Lord not Popes shall reign over them for ever Isa 9. 6 7. Luke 1. 38 39. And the Lord God shall give him the throne of his Father David and the government shall be upon his shoulders and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever and of his Kingdom and of the encrease of his government there shall be no end Therefore by the concurrent verdicts of St. Peter himself backed by St. Paul St. John and all these sacred Texts it is infallible that Christ neither at his ascension nor at any time else ever transferred the right exercise dominion of his Kingdom Church or government thereof much lesse of all Kingdoms Nations Monarchs in the world to St. Peter or his Roman successors but intirely reserved it to himself as personal and untransferrable to any other And so they must bid farewell for ever to St. Peters pretended Universal Monarchy and Patrimony as Christs Successors or Vicars by the Testimony of all these sacred Texts whereon they would gladly found and establish it The third Texts are such as destroy both St. Peters and all Popes Titles to Christs Universal High Priesthood or Shepherdship over the Catholick Church as the precedent do their Kingship The first is St. Peters own expression 1 Pet. 5. 2 3 4. Feed the flock of God which is amongst you neither as being Lords over Gods heritage but being ensamples to the flock And when the Chief Shepherd Christ shall appear therefore Christ not he was then Chief Pastor of the Sheep you shall receive a Crown of glory that fadeth not away The next is that of St. Paul Hebr. 13. 20. Our Lord Iesus Christ brought again from the dead is the Great Shepherd of the Sheep to whom be glory for ever and ever Amen compared with Hebr. 7. 21. to the end ch 10 12. 15 to 22. and Psal 110. 4. The Lord sware and will not repent in relation to Jesus Christ and his Priesthood Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedech And they truly were many Priests because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death but this man because he continueth ever hath an unchangable or untransferrable Priesthood that passeth not to another by succession or delegation therefore not to St. Peter or any other Roman Pontiff Wherefore he is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God by Him not by Peter Mary or the Pope seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them For such an high Priest became us who is holy harmlesse undefiled separate from sinners and made higher then the heavens are any Roman Pontiffs so qualified and who needed not daily as these Priests did and all Popes and Masse-Priests too to offer up sacrifice for their own sinnes and then for the peoples for this he did once when he offered up himself and is consecrated for evermore For by his own blood he entred in once into the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us After he had offered one sacrifice for ever he sate down at the right hand of God from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool for by one offering he hath perfected for ever those that are sanctified And having him an High Priest over the House of God not St. Peter nor his successors let us draw near with a pure heart in full assurance of faith Popes therefore and their seduced Pontificians must now bid adieu to their Antichristian Titles of Pontifex Optimus Maximus Pontifex Summus Sanctissimus Episcopus Vniversalis Oecumenicus Pastor summus Pastor Pastorum and to their Vicarship and succession in Christs Vniversal High Priesthood as well as to his Kingship unlesse they will renounce all these Canonical Scriptures Vnking Vnpriest our Saviour Christ and usurp both his Royal Throne and Chair upon Christs pretended Donation of them to St. Peter at his ascention who never heard of claimed but professedly disavowed any such Gift and all Popes of Rome too for some hundreds of years Of no greater Credit or Validity then their forged Donation of all Ecclesiastical and Temporal Soveraignty and

her Sons were the two first grand Trayterous Oppugners Underminers of our Kings Ecclesiastical Soveraignty and Jurisdiction as well as of Jesus Christs and first Propugners of the Popes Usurpations not unworthy observation I might here subjoyn to these their Catholick Blasphemies concerning the Virgin Maries Monarchy Mediation Redemption c. the like concerning her two grand Chaplains St. Francis and St. Dominick to whom their followers apply sundry Scripture Texts peculiar to our Lord Jesus Christ his person Kingly and Priestly Offices in derogation of his Soveraignty Priesthood Advocation and of the Virgin Maries and Popes too Witnesse their Conformitatum Sancti Francisci presented by Bartholomaeus de Pisis to and specially approved by the General Chapter of the Franciscans Assisii 2º Augusti 1389. as Liber Aureus yea by Pope Gregory the 9. Alexander the 5. Nicholas the 3. Benedict the 12. since printed and reprinted by publick authority wherein they assert of St. Francis Ipse merito dicere posset illud quod cantatur in Evangelio Omnia mihi tradita sunt à Patre meo Ero illi in Patrem ipse erit mihi in Filium Hic est Dei gratia totus Christo conformis Omnis perfectionis exemplar In gloria Dei Patris Deificatus In gloria Sanctorum Deo unitissimus Vnde et praefuit universae creaturae factus unus Spiritus cum Deo Quem Ecclesia militans ADVOCATUM apud Deum possidere meruit Exiens de vulnere laterale Christi Iesus typicus passione factus ad similitudinem Iesu Christi crucifixi In eo passio Iesu Christi pro genere humano renovatur De quo David dixerit Gloria honore coronasti eum constituisti super opera manuum tuarum Datus est in lucem Gentium Quod propter unam Missam beati Francisci placatus fuerit Deus pro toto mundo Omnes salvantur qui moriuntur in ordine et sub regula Sancti Francisci Et indutio cuculli dat ei plenam peccatorum remissionem tam a poena quam a culpa In a word Christus oravit Franciscus exoravit Witnesse what St. Antoninus Archbishop of Florence Surius Ribadeniera and others story of St. Dominick Christus post mortem dicit Omnis potestas mihi dara est in coelo in terra Et haec potestas non parum communicata est Dominico therefore not wholly transferred to the Pope or Virgin Mary coelestium terrestrium et insernorum Nam Angelos Sanctos in suum Ministerium habebat ad nutum ejus Daemones contremiscebant nec imperium ejus recusare valebant for which they produce several examples Quia Christo similis à Demino Christo aptissime denominatus est Dominicus Dominicus namque quasi totus Domini Vt Christus sit Dominus absolutè authoritativè Dominicus autem principaliter possessive Whom as they parallel with Christ in many things so they preferre before Christ in others as in the multitude of his miracles and prevalency of his Prayers and Advocation Nam Christus cum in horto oravit Calicem à se transferri non fuit exauditus c. Dominicus autem cuidam religioso viro sibi familiari insinuavit se nunquam a Deo aliquid postulasse quod ad votum non obtinuerit That Christus Dominus dilexit nos lavit nos à peccatis nostris in sanguine suo but by one suffering Dominicus verò charitatis perfectione non vacans pro salute omnium animam ponere promptus erat For which end trinam disciplinam quasi de manu propria non cordula sed cathena ferrea usque ad sanguinis effusionem capiebat pro suis culpis unam quae minimae erant pro in purgatorio existentibus aliam tertiam pro iis qui versantur in mundo That at his death to comfort his sorrowfull and mourning Disciples he used the same words to and Prayer for them as Christ did to his Disciples John 17. promising them In loco ad quem vado utilior vobis ero quam hic Et post mortum ADVOCATUM POTIOREM HABEBITIS quam in hac vita habere possitis As if he would then prove a better Advocate for them in Heaven then the Virgin Mary or Christ himself Who both honoured him so far That adfuit in hac hora transitus sui beata Virgo cum Filio as was revealed to Freer Guala then Prior afterwards Bishop of Brixia who saw Heaven opened and two most white Ladders let down from thence Summitatem unius scalae tenebat in manu beata Virgo Maria alterius summitatem Filius ejus Jesus Christus tenebat Angeli autem discurrebant per eas ascendendo descendendo at the end of both which Ladders St. Dominick was placed in a Chair fastned to them Scalas autem illas sursum trahebat Dominus Jesus cum Matre paulatim ducebatur sursum simul cum illis scalis sedes pariter cum sedente comitantibus Angelis Denique receptis in coelum scalis sede cum sedente apertura illa coeli clausa est visuque disparuit In brief they preferre him before St. Paul and all the Apostles recording that before his birth there appeared to all the people two Images in the Church of St. Marke at Venice the one of St. Paul with this motto under it Per istum itur ad Christum the other of St. Dominick with this inscription Facilius itur per ipsum Quia writes St. Antoninus Doctrina Pauli sicut caeterorum Apostolorum erat Doctrina inducens ad fidem observantiam praeceptorum Doctrina Dominici ad observantiam consiliorum et ideo facilius per istum itur ad Christum and so by his Mediation and Advocation they may easier go and be reconciled to God the Father then by Christs St. Pauls or their grand Advocate the Virgin Maries I shall no longer insist on these or any other of their Saints Powers or Advocations but proceed to the second sort of established Doctrines and Practices in the Church of Rome which directly overthrow the very foundation of St. Peters and the Popes Universal Monarchy over the World and Church Militant to wit Christs personal corporal absence from his Church and all Kingdoms Nations on Earth during his residence at his Fathers right hand in Heaven which could not be supplyed but only by constituting St. Peter and Popes his pretended Successors in his Chair at Rome to succeed him in his Supreme Universal Monarchy and Priesthood as his sole Viceroyes and Vicars to instruct feed comfort direct rule them in his stead untill his second coming to Judgement This foundation of St. Peters and Popes pretended Universal Monarchy Vicarship as it is directly contradicted 1.
