this one little distracted text for proofe of professed bloudy massacres intended by vs against Protestants Wherein lastly he peruerteth the very words of God himselfe in the Law by translating vs fundas fanguinem ipsorum spill their blood instead of slied their blood as though God were a blood-spill●● or 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 to be vniustly done by others By this one of 〈◊〉 but one you 〈…〉 c. Thus farre P. R. The Answer 125 To the allegation of this place of Gratiam R. S. doth owe you an answer which hee hath performed in these wordes This second place also I brought saith hee vnto T. M. the whole being no otherwise distractedly quoted then the glosse whence I had it warranted by me So that of P. R. reprooue me he must chocke his glossary for when the glosse had set down the first part he quoted for the latter causa 23. q. 8. cap. legi meaning in the decrees where it is Sit manus tua super eos vt fundas sanguinem ipsorum 126 So hath he satisfied for his allegation It remaineth that I likewise iustifie both my collection and translation For the first I would demand of P. R. if Romish ones applying this Canon of Murdering their kindred c. against Protestants when the Pope shall iudicially denounce them Heretikes whether it may bee called a massacre or no I haue now my Mitigator vpon a Logicke ●acke either he must say that it is no bloudy massacre but Catholike iustice and then what shall his Reader thinke vpon his Mitigation otherwise than a Iudas his lips in be traying his Master If he shall hold it an execrable mischiefe then how shall he iustifie the application of this canon when the Pope shall extend it against Protestants He cannot answer directly but hee must manifest himselfe either a Traitor to his Country or a preuaricator to his cause 127 His other censure is vpon my interpretation Vt fundas sanguinem to spill their blood in stead saith he of shed their blood Why so because otherwise the man may seeme to haue some pious and religious deuotion in him God should be said to be a blood-spiller And must it therefore be rather translated shed why so God should bee said to bee a blood-shedder I maruell what new Dictionary for he is altogether verbal P. R. doth follow I hope that so profound a Clerke will not want a reason of his subtilty let vs heare him To spill blood saith hee doth signifie an vniust deed Is this it as though shedding of blood might not likewise signify an vniust deed Let him consult with their own Remish translation Rom. 3. 15. Their feet viz. of the wicked are swift to shed blood And Act. 22. 20. When the blood of the Martyr Stephen was shed And Apoc. 16. 6. They haue shed the blood of the Saints therefore hast thou giuen them blood to drinke And Luc. 11. 50. That the bloud of the Prophets shed from the beginning of the world may bee required of this generation Will P. R. haue the face to say that the blood of the Martyr Stephen and of the Prophets by the Iewes or of the blood of Saints by the Heathen was shed iustly Againe the Rhemists Mark 2. 22. No man putteth new wine into old bottles otherwise the wine breaketh the bottles and the wine will be shed This is spoken of the wine which being shed perisheth So is it vulgarly vsed drinke is spilt and drinke is shed Now then what a notable Critick haue I met withall whom euery goodwife is able to conuince of idle dottage But this is a man priuiledged to send me to the Vniuersitie to make a Syllogisme whom I may more iustly send vnto an Ale-house to learne English 128 The last point which is obseruable in our Mitigator is that he affirmeth this Canon to haue beene decreed in the 3. Councell of Carthage where no such thing can be found Therefore must his owne termes of falshood fraud treacherie reuerberate vpon himselfe And yet againe we may consider how zealous P. R. is in authorizing that Canon and in vrging the text of Scripture saying If thy brother or friend or wife will goe about to destroy the truth let thy hand be vpon him To what end must all this be but that Protestants being in their opinion heretikes may haue all the penalties which are awarded against heretikes executed vpon them as Bouchier and others defend before or at least as P. R. holdeth after denunciation of sentence And consequently Protestants may be by these Romishones without exception of sex or kindred or friendship as it was by execution in the cruell Massacre in France and by intention in the Powder-treason vtterly consumed at once Which being performed the Conspiracie shal be called an holy League the Actour a zealous Ahod the Act a Sacrifice All which proceedeth from a false and perfidious application both of the Scripture and of the Canon For the law of Deuteronomy mentioneth such transgressions Who shall intice thee saying Let vs go and serue other gods which thou hast not knowen nor thy fathers before thee And the Canon was directed only against such heretikes who did ruinate the foundation of Christian faith But Protestants are so farre from idolatrie that for feare thereof they haue in the dayes of Q. Marie yeelded their bodies to the fire so farre from heresie that they are ready to seale euery fundamental Article of faith with their blood A seuenth obiection of falshood wherein he insulteth saying Seeing hee hath corrupted a text of Scripture you may thinke what libertie hee will take afterward thorowout his whole booke 129 I haue already answered vnto this calumniation shewing that both the English text the Latine Commentaries the Hebrew Originall and the confession of their owne Doctour doe free me from all suspition of corruption wherein our Reader may imagine whether P. R. by obiecting the Hebrew text hath not deserued the title of an êbrition An eighth obiection of falshood wherin he insulteth in this maner Thus much for his varietie of corruptions in this little sentence 130 P. R. pretermitting as his maner is such points wherein he saw the Romish Arguments most forcibly confuted insisteth only vpon such wherein hee thinketh his abilitie will serue to make some sensible resistance Therefore hee sayth To the end you may see his Talent in deducing proofs out of Romish Writers wee shall examine only the third Reason in this place which he declareth in these words Except sayth the Romish pretence there were a way of deposing Apostata Princes God had not prouided sufficiently for his Church And for this he citeth the Constitution extrauagant of Pope Bonifacius and sayth This obiection is in your extrauagants and so it may be called because it rangeth extra that is without the bonds of Gods ordinance c. But as in all his other citations generally hee is neuer lightly true and sincere in
