A73418	Roger Widdringtons last reioynder to Mr. Thomas Fitz-Herberts Reply concerning the oath of allegiance, and the Popes power to depose princes wherein all his arguments, taken from the lawes of God, in the Old and New Testament, of nature, of nations, from the canon and ciuill law, and from the Popes breues, condemning the oath, and the cardinalls decree, forbidding two of Widdringtons bookes are answered : also many replies and instances of Cardinall Bellarmine in his Schulckenius, and of Leonard Lessius in his Singleton are confuted, and diuers cunning shifts of Cardinall Peron are discouered.

who_o i_o build_v a_o monastery_n i_o have_v not_o repent_v at_o the_o last_o hour_n and_o true_o i_o have_v escape_v eternal_a death_n but_o i_o shall_v be_v torment_v with_o most_o grievous_a

herself_o for_o his_o cause_n with_o wonderful_a punishment_n let_v the_o reader_n know_v say_v thomas_n cantipratensis_fw-la the_o writer_n of_o her_o life_n from_o who_o surius_n take_v the_o same_o that_o those_o three_o cause_n be_v by_o the_o reveal_n of_o ludgard_n not_o unknown_a to_o we_o but_o for_o the_o reverence_n of_o so_o great_a a_o pope_n we_o will_v not_o relate_v they_o 7_o

of_o his_o conscience_n for_o i_o do_v easy_o persuade_v myself_o that_o so_o great_a a_o pope_n can_v not_o commit_v deadly_a sin_n but_o be_v deceive_v under_o the_o show_n of_o good_a by_o

we_o all_o learn_v by_o this_o so_o great_a a_o example_n to_o examine_v careful_o our_o conscience_n lest_o perchance_o it_o be_v erroneous_a albeit_o to_o we_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v right_a and_o

albeit_o to_o we_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v right_a and_o sound_a be_v erroneous_a and_o ground_v upon_o culpable_a ignorance_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o have_v examine_v my_o conscience_n very_o

and_o that_o i_o be_v not_o move_v thereunto_o for_o fear_n flattery_n hope_v of_o gain_n or_o any_o other_o worldly_a respect_n but_o true_o and_o sincere_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n for_o the_o

or_o forge_a coin_n and_o whether_o any_o fault_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o both_o for_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o gold_n examine_v by_o the_o touchstone_n and_o those_o way_n by_o which_o true_a gold_n be_v discern_v from_o counterfeit_n before_o he_o be_v compel_v to_o take_v it_o for_o good_a and_o currant_n and_o also_o for_o give_v his_o reason_n why_o he_o think_v the_o same_o to_o be_v false_a and_o forge_a and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o make_v trial_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o no_o but_o will_v needs_o have_v he_o to_o take_v it_o for_o good_a gold_n when_o not_o only_a himself_o but_o also_o diverse_a other_o skilful_a goldsmith_n do_v great_o suspect_v yea_o and_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v naught_o and_o counterfeit_n and_o if_o he_o refuse_v to_o accept_v thereof_o in_o that_o manner_n they_o shall_v seek_v to_o disgrace_v he_o with_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n and_o to_o accuse_v he_o of_o disobedience_n to_o the_o

may_v not_o be_v prudent_o think_v that_o they_o have_v a_o guilty_a conscience_n and_o that_o they_o themselves_o suspect_v the_o say_a gold_n not_o to_o be_v indeed_o so_o good_a and_o currant_n as_o in_o word_n they_o will_v pretend_v 9_o now_o the_o case_n between_o i_o and_o my_o adversary_n be_v far_o worse_a than_o this_o for_o they_o have_v seek_v by_o false_a and_o fraudulent_a mean_n not_o only_o to_o impose_v upon_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n a_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a catholic_a faith_n for_o true_o catholic_a but_o to_o slander_v and_o defame_v all_o those_o catholic_n and_o myself_o in_o particular_a who_o for_o the_o reason_n we_o have_v often_o propound_v refuse_v to_o accept_v thereof_o for_o catholic_a until_o it_o be_v better_o prove_v so_o to_o be_v and_o to_o condemn_v we_o of_o temerity_n and_o disobedience_n to_o the_o sea_n apostolic_a yea_o and_o of_o flat_a heresy_n and_o they_o will_v make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o we_o be_v not_o true_a catholic_n but_o heretic_n disguise_v and_o mask_v under_o the_o vizard_n of_o catholic_n 19_o for_o so_o say_v m._n fitzherbert_n c._n 17._o nu_fw-la 19_o and_o albeit_o we_o do_v public_o profess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v true_a catholic_n and_o do_v submit_v all_o our_o writing_n to_o the_o judgement_n and_o censure_n of_o the_o catholic_a roman_a church_n and_o do_v sincere_o

suffer_v we_o to_o examine_v by_o the_o true_a ground_n of_o catholic_a religion_n their_o new_o invent_a catholic_a faith_n and_o to_o yield_v our_o reason_n which_o do_v full_o persuade_v we_o that_o their_o faith_n which_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v catholic_a be_v not_o ancient_a and_o true_a but_o a_o new_o invent_v and_o a_o false_a and_o forge_a catholic_a faith_n but_o they_o have_v cause_v his_o holiness_n to_o condemn_v our_o book_n which_o in_o our_o judgement_n do_v plain_o discover_v their_o forgery_n and_o to_o forbid_v all_o catholic_n as_o well_o learned_a as_o

know_v the_o same_o but_o all_o that_o they_o say_v or_o write_v we_o must_v forsooth_o without_o any_o further_a examination_n approve_v for_o good_a and_o currant_n doctrine_n albeit_o we_o have_v most_o plain_o convince_v they_o of_o manifest_a fraud_n and_o falsehood_n in_o almost_o every_o one_o of_o their_o argument_n and_o answer_n which_o they_o have_v bring_v to_o prove_v their_o

and_o to_o the_o sea_n apostolic_a yet_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v see_v but_o that_o any_o prudent_a man_n may_v just_o suppose_v their_o zeal_n to_o be_v blind_a and_o not_o according_a to_o

holy_a scripture_n wherein_o the_o institution_n and_o law_n of_o christ_n be_v contain_v 85_o and_o although_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v express_o testify_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v in_o

can_v deduce_v a_o good_a argument_n from_o thence_o that_o therefore_o spiritual_a pastor_n have_v now_o a_o ordinary_a power_n to_o inflict_v the_o same_o punishment_n but_o only_o that_o they_o may_v inflict_v they_o in_o that_o manner_n and_o by_o that_o power_n wherewith_o the_o apostle_n do_v to_o wit_n by_o miracle_n in_o which_o case_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o if_o perhaps_o any_o holy_a pope_n or_o bishop_n have_v the_o grace_n of_o miracle_n he_o may_v by_o prophecy_n foretell_v or_o by_o prayer_n obtain_v that_o such_o a_o wicked_a prince_n whether_o he_o be_v

and_o the_o apostle_n have_v so_o ample_a and_o extraordinary_a apostolical_a power_n to_o inflict_v corporal_a punishment_n therefore_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o apostle_n successor_n shall_v have_v a_o ordinary_a power_n to_o inflict_v the_o same_o for_o as_o christ_n give_v to_o the_o apostle_n such_o a_o extraordinary_a and_o transcendent_a power_n so_o he_o give_v they_o a_o extraordinary_a

of_o nature_n because_o they_o have_v no_o other_o light_n to_o guide_v they_o but_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n hold_v it_o to_o be_v most_o conform_a to_o nature_n that_o religion_n shall_v be_v prefer_v before_o policy_n and_o temporal_a thing_n subordinate_a to_o spiritual_a by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o thing_n less_o perfect_a be_v inferior_a to_o the_o more_o perfect_a the_o body_n to_o the_o soul_n earthly_a thing_n to_o heavenly_a man_n to_o angel_n and_o the_o like_a 4_o so_o albeit_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o their_o custom_n proceed_v from_o their_o municipal_a law_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v thereon_o that_o it_o do_v not_o also_o proceed_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a because_o their_o municipal_a law_n in_o that_o point_n have_v no_o other_o ground_n but_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o move_v they_o to_o make_v that_o law_n for_o although_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n can_v not_o teach_v they_o the_o

for_o in_o his_o sixth_o chapter_n he_o pretend_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o pagan_a priest_n to_o punish_v temporal_o the_o supreme_a civil_a magistrate_n do_v proceed_v from_o the_o
