A13964	The trial of trueth or a treatise vvherein is declared vvho should be iudge betvvene the Reformed Churches, and the Romish in which is shewed, that neither Pope, nor Councels, nor Fathers, nor traditions, nor succession, nor consent, nor antiquitie of custome: but the onely written worde of God, ought to determine the controuersies of religio[n]: wherin also is declared which is the true religion, and Catholick church. Written for the pleasure of the Popes, Cardinalles, prelates, abbots, monkes: and speciallie the Iesuites, which of late were driuen out of Transyluania, by the states there. Published in Latine by a certaine Hungarian, a fauourer of the trueth: and translated into English by Richard Smith.; Oratio de constituendo iudice controversiorum religionis. English.

the eight had cursed with bell booke and candle as a Schismatick and an heretick yet the King ceased not from his enterprise but when he had by manifest proofes prooued him guiltie of horrible villanies he caused him to be apprehended at Rome and cast into Prison who when he had entred as a Fox and raigned as a Lyon he died as a Dogge The same Boniface in the yeere of our Lord one thousand thrée hundred when there was great floking of people out of diuers Countries to Rome because of the yéere of Iubily the first festiuall daye shewed himselfe to the people attired in his Bishoplike ornaments and the next day flaunting it in his Princelike robes commaunded a naked swoord to be borne before him crying with a lowd voice I am both Pope and Emperour I haue both temporall and spirituall iurisdiction and dominion And when as a fewe daies after Albert being made Emperour by the Germain electours required his confirmation of him at first he refused it denying that an election made without his authoritie ought to be of force but yet a little while after he agreede to the emperour vpon this condition that he should with all spéed by force set vpon the Kingdome of Fraunce Innocentius the third did so boyle in rancour against Phillippe the Emperour because hee had beene chosen against his will that he often times saide Either the Pope shall take from Phillipe his crowne Kingdome or else he the Apostolical ornament and dignitie from the pope Clemens the sixt tould the Ambassa●●rs that hee wo●ld nener pardon Lewis unlesse hee first ●●rrendred his Empire and yelded both him selfe his sonnes and all that he had into his hands and would promise that he would take none of them againe without the Popes leaue and fauour Besides this they further charge them that where as Constantine the first was the first that held soorth his feete for the Emperour to kisse Martine the first compelled the Emperour Sigismund Iohn the two and twentieth Crescentius the Consul of Rome and Bennet the third the Emperour to doe like wise Neither doe they say that this is to bee passed ouer in silence that Innocentius the third excommunicated Otho the fourth Gregorie the seuenth did the same to Henrie the fourth Pascalis the second to Henrie the first Hadrian the fourth and Alexander the third to Fridericke the first Innocentius the third to Phillippe the sonne of Fridericke Gregorie the ninth to Fridericke the second three time● Innocentius the fourth to Conradus the fourth and that specially for this cause that they did not in al points satisfie the Popes lustes And now moreouer there is no King no Kingdome no Prince whom the Romish papacie hath no● challenged to bee her vassal and tenant Sixtly the Gospellers accuse the Popes of treacherie and conspiracie and proue both by most auncient and also most weightie Histories that the Popes in all ages haue wholly bent their might to this that when they knewe that there was any debate growen betwene Princes they might by certaine bréed-bates of theirs helpe forwards and increase the quarrel and might also bargaine with one of the s●des that if they gotthe kingdome of y t contrarie faction by their furtherance they should then acknowledge the See of Rome for the author of so great a benefit and paye her an yearly rent This legéerdemaine being once contriued presently the Prince of the contrarie side was proclaymed an Hereticke by the Pope and his kingdome graunted to him that could first inuade it This matter will be more euident by examples For although Lewis the twelfth king of Fraunce had giuen certaine Cities to Pope Iulius the secōd yet not withstanding he not satisfied with the gift vexed him with the terrible thunderbolts of excommunications as a schismaticke and an Hereticke and laide open his kingdom to the spoyle But when he for sundry kinde of abominable vices which anon shall bee handled by a counsell called at Pisum but interrupted by him and translated to Lions was suspended from his Popelike function he so raged with furie that spedily leuying an Armie he hastned into Fraunce and as he ledde his hoaste out of the Citie by the bridge of Tibris in his harnesse he spake these wordes in the hearing of many thousand men Sith Peters keyes stand vs in no stede goe to let vs drawe fourth Paules rustie sword And therewithall casting Peters Keyes into the riuer of Tybris and drawing his sworde out of his sheath threatned all crueltie to the French men with a mighty hacking and gnashing of his teeth together Neither is the example of Phillip the french King much vnlike hereunto who when he had recouered no smal part of his possessions out of the English mens handes Innocentius the third first sent two ambassadours into France which might there rayse Rebellion and afterwards so incensed the Emperour Otho the fourth and Ferdinand Earle of flaunders against the Frenchmen that except with great stomacke and valure they had withstoode the Popes practizes they had euen then lost their kingdome But what néede we olde examples when fresh matters are in the mouthes of all men For in the yeare one thousand fiue hundred four score and fiue Sixtus the sifte bishop of Rome sent out his brutish thunderbolts against Henrie Bourbon king of Fraunce and Nauarre and Henry Bourbon Prince of Condie their heires and successors whom he banneth as heretikes and committeth their kingdomes to the spoile Neither is that matter close or vnknowen which fell out very lately For the same Sixtus the fifth in the yeare of our Lord one thousand fiue hundred fourscore and nine did solemnlie geue vnto Philip king of Spain the realm of England hauing condemned it for heresie The Spaniard had furnished such a Fléete as might terrifie the Emperor of the Turkes himselfe and the sauage Princes of Africa For they had besides vessels of cariage one hundred and thirtie ships whereof thréescore were of such ●●genes that there scarce passe any in the Ocean to match them and whereof foure are thought to haue gotten the victory at the Gulfe of Arta. There were in them of most choise Souldiers of Italians Spaniards and Germanes to the number of thrée and twentie thousand at the least euen by the testimonie of the Spaniardes themselues sixe thousande brasse péeces Besides this so great an armie the King of Spaine had in Flaunders fourtie thousand choise footmen and twelue thousand horsemen the monthly charges of which armie came to fiftéen hundred thousande crownes But what did this so well stored a Fléete preuaile what did this so great an hoast boote Of these hundred and thirtie ships of warre scarce thirtie went home againe and those of the lesser sort and of men of all sorts scarce thrée thousand and those scarce hauing life or soule Now if we please to alledge
