A07554 The misterie of iniquitie Plainely layd open by a lay-Christian, no profest diuine, out of truth in humanity, and rules of naturall reason. Whereby the world may see, read and vnderstand, the proud and vaine comparison of a cardinalles red-hat, and a kings golden crowne. Alwayes prouided, in reading, read all, or read nothing at all. Milles, Tho. (Thomas), 1550?-1627? 1611 (1611) STC 17934; ESTC S114600 61,425 60

firmissimum Titulū habere dicebat Quāque viribus opibusque summis Ciuitatibus munitissimis potentissimorum Principum sibi coniurantium auxilio tueri defendere possit c. To all this Paulus 5. now as Pope standes mute and as Bishop there sayes nothing but Bellarmine for Cardinals and the Iesuites for themselues confusedly reply the Enditement lyes not euen That the Pope holds no proportion with God nor his Lieutenantes be they Monarks be they Kings for the Ensignes of his Diocesse nowe soare and are displayed aboue the Eagles wings That Popes are so transcendent as their Cardinals may be Monarks if Monarks be but Kings at least if they will That none but Publicans and Customers men voide of sence and reason or Kentish-men and Christians dare accuse the Pope of Treason If any call him Heretike aboue the paynes of Purgatory great shall be their woe for Iesuites will dispute it and Cardinals can confute it in despight of who sayes no. Though Kings set vp their rest and Bishops doe their best nay though Goodnes do suggest it and Truth doe still protest it and the Word it selfe say so So that tell Cardinals nowe and Iesuists In the beginning was the Word and that Word was with God and God was that Word And they can equiuocate that Word with Traditions and God with the Pope whose Power controuling all and controulable by none showes him All-sufficient and God can bee no more Tell them of Written verities and they reply such Scriptures haue no Credite but what the Fathers lend and those Fathers from the Church did formerly borrow That the Church being alwaies visible The Pope alwaies prouided of mo Bishops in Italy then in all Christendome besides sits no where but at Rome That Rome alone is Catholicke representatiuely where the Pope sits as Head for her Bishops are so many that they furnish Generall Counsailes of themselues and need no more or sway them at the least her Cardynals make the Conclaues wherein Popes become coyned That the Pope but once Created is Ipso facto so Omnipotent both in Church and Common-weale that his Masse controules the Eucharist and his Vsury scornes Exchange so that the Pope being All in All whose Sentence cannot Erre must needes be God Himselfe let God and his Lieu-tenants be what they can let their words be what they shall But Magna semper veritas and see how TRVTH preuailes for howsoeuer hee shifts it off for the point of Heresie whereof he stands endited that the Eucharist is mistaken or not rightly vnderstood Deuines haue laid it open that his Masse was neuer heard of by Christ nor his Apostles besides the distraction he hath made of the second Cōmaundement and multiplying of Sacraments the one Felony towardes God the other Burglary to his Church is more then Mesprision or Premunire at the best But in the point of Treason his owne Picture doeth accuse him in the stamps of his Coyne The Popes Maiesty found guilty de Facto both of Burglary Felony and High-Treason if his Soueraignty de lure or the Bishop doe cleere him and his Maiesty standing mute hath silently confessed de facto et de Iure hee standes euery way Guilty if his Soueraignty doe not helpe and make him to subsist to the which hee nowe appeales Now a Soueraignty it seemes they haue or challenge at the least such a one as it is and a Maiesty withall but how the one may be seene and the other doth Subsist per amount or per aual I meane ouer Soules or ouer Bodies or ouer both or ouer neyther in Heauen Hell or Purgatory or on Earth is nowe to bee decided for Cardinals make the Conclaues where the Popes become Coyned and the Pope Creats those Cardinals that furnish the Conclaue Now read we but this Riddle and then tell me what it meanes Pope Leo 10 A Conclaue of Cardinals some forty at the least laid all their heades together and went and Coyn'd a Pope Dissidebat autem Leo Pontisex a Cardinalibus Juiconturauerant in ipsius necem ita quidem vt exil●o quibusdam alys teterrimo carcere mulctatis triginta vnum crearet eodem tempore Cardinales nonos partim sui mumendi partim pecu●●● conflandae causa whome when they had Created they ment to haue vndone Quia Papa quem fecerant erat valdè Malus but the Pope therof forewarned by way of Premunire Bannishment and some by woorser meanes preuents their Desseings and Coyn'd one and thirty new Cardinals of his owne stamp and fashion Thus the Pope being Created became a Creator and the Cardinalles by their Coyning begat their owne Confusion Nowe where sits Sacred Maiesty in the middes of such profanesse and Chayre of pestilence and howe Subsistes Soueraignety per amount or per aual where Subiects at al hands are suffered to be Coyners Alas poore Conscience The words of a Cardinall of S●●●● comming from a Conclaue how was 't thou tormented at the Coyning of a Pope and forced to cry out siccine fiunt Pontifices Romani Bidding Rome farewell adew and shaking off such company as Christ neuer heard of and Saint Peter neuer knew A warning to the Bishop of Rome to take heede the Pope accuse not him of treasoo giue him the slip Let the Bishop looke about him least the Pope giue the slip and wipe's nose on his sleeue since the question stands of Coyning for what can the Papacy in reason be reputed but a Metaphisicall Subsistence of a Spirituall Soueraignty ouer Soules The Pope hath no Kingdome in Heauen nor on earth Ergo no Maiesty nor Soueraingty in either or ouer Bodies ouer both or ouer neither not on Earth nor in Heauen for on Earth it cannot be where Kings onely Coyne both in Nomber Waight aad Measure by the rules of Iustice for feare of High-treason And in Heauen it may not be where God alone Creats both Faith Hope and Charity by the rules of true Religion for feare of Heresie but in Hell by possibility where the Diuell and hee ioyntly neither Coyne nor Create but Equiuocate together or a place in the Ayre such as pyning Purgatory is by Dreames made to be And a Maiesty so exceeding the bounds offence or reason that the greatest Fooles adore it most and the fowlest Spirits admire Now where Hell is and what is done there the Iesuits best can tell The Iesuites Caeca obediētia sworne to performe all that their Generals enioyne them when how and wheresoeuer instantly that comming last from thence are so quickly here and there and are sworne to their Abaddon without doubtes or questions when he sends them farre and neare These are those Locustes whose Winges and Tayles compared to their Faces showes their Monstrous generation These like Amphibij by creeping on the Earth by their dyuing in the Waters and their flying in the Ayre can bee Countrey-men and Courtiers and Church-men too Let Soueraynes shun their companies as they
