vpō White I suppose your pen would not stumble vpon such manifest falshoods as these are Who knoweth not that S. Augustine vpon whose honesty you presume that he did bring no other fayth then his Maister gaue him in charg did enter into England with the banner of the holy Crosse carried before him in the labell whereof was a siluer Picture of our Sauiour as Bede writeth (u) l. 1. c. 26. 33. You aske what will become of Images if Gregories doctrine be admitted I answere first they shal be reuerently kept set vp in Churches as bookes to instruct ignorant people whence when the Bishop of Marsils in France had cast them out as you Protestants vse to doe S. Gregorie did seuerely reproue him for the same (x) Greg. lib. 9. ep 9. ad Serenum Massilien Secondly they shal be carried in Processions and the people following shall deuoutly worship and honour the persons represented in them in which sort your owne Bale (z) Imaginem Diuae Virginis circum ferri per misit Bal. Act. Rom. Pontif printed at Basil 1558. p. 44. sequent doth witnes that he caused the Image of the Blessed Virgin to be carried in Procession about Rome to diuert Gods anger from the Cittie then infected with Pestilence (a) Vide vitam Gregor apud Surium Tom. 2. Thirdly Christans shall goe in Pilgrimage to the Images of Saints namly the Blessed Virgins Which deuotion he will stirre vp people vnto by graunting Indulgences to them (b) Vbi supra pag. 46. Peregrinationes ad Statuas pro plebis deuotione per indulgentias confirmauit as the Protestant Friar doth confesse Finally people shall prostrate themselues before them not as vnto God but before them shall worship and adore Christ whome by his Image they remember either as an Infant in his Mothers armes or as crucified or glorious in heauen which manner of honouring Images by adoring their prototype in them this Pope doth expresly teach (c) Non imaginem vt Deum colimus nec quasi ante Diuinitatem ante illam prosternimur sed illum ad oramus quem per imaginem recordamur What more deuotion vnto Images doe Catholikes shew then this Is it not strange any man should auerr that Gregorie did disclaime from our Catholike worshipping of Images or that his doctrine lighting on Images would breake them and their worship into peeces 34. Secondly if Gregories doctrine be preached in England the Popes Supremacy you say must be gone And why Syr I pray you Perchance your reason is because he did detest the tytle of Vniuersall Bishop in Iohn of Constantinople calling it prophane sacrilegious antichristian (d) Greg. l. ep ep 32 36. This I know is your common obiection which Catholikes haue often answered Will you belieue your owne Protestant Historian (e) Carion in Cronico l. 4. pag. 567. that sayth that Gregorie did tragically declame against that title in Iohn of Constantinople yet did he allow and practise himselfe the same Supremacy that title did import Will you heare another (f) Andreas ●riccius an excellent learned man (g) So tearmed by Peter Martyr in his common places part 4. p. 77. who giueth you our Catholike answere telling that you mistake Gregories meaning for that title of vniuersall Bishop lieth open vnto a double acception First it signifieth the sole and only Bishop of the world in which sense saith (h) l. 1. de Eccles c. 10. p. 576. this Protestant Gregorie spake against it amplifying exaggerating the blasphemie contained in it Secōdly vniuersall Bishop may signifie the first Bishop vnto whom the other be subiect and to whome the care of the rest and of their Churches appertaine in this sense Gregorie did neuer say that title did not in rigour agree to the Romā Bishop nay he did practise that authoritie himselfe and thought the same was committed to S. Peter yet did he not thinke that either S. Peter or himselfe was the forerunner of Antichrist Thus he Shewing that you and your Ministers may be thought willfully peruerse who stil florish with this obiection notwithstanding so cleere an answere and so many testimonies of S. Gregorie for the Primacie For doth not he expresly teach that the Romaine is the Head and Mother of all Churches (i) l. 11. epist 54. Speculationem suam toti orbi indicere apud Conturiatores Cent. 6. colum 425. that it appointeth her watch ouer all Churches that euen Constantinople it selfe is subiect to the Romaine Sea (k) l. 7. ep 63. that there is not any Bishop in the world which oweth not obedience to the Romaine which may not be reproued and punished by him if he doe amisse (l) Si quae culpa in Episcopis inuenitur nescio quis ei Episcopus subiectus non sit l. 7. ep 64. In which speach he doth saith Caluin (m) l. 4. institut c. 7. sect 12. more then any where else vaunt of the greatnes of his Primacie 35. Now this Rock of the Romane Supremacie whose pate doth it bruise whose head doth it crush in peeces but that Serpents which hath lately rent as you ridiculously vant (n) Lett. p. 103. the Bishop of Romes slipper that it hath no sound sole whereon his triple-crowned Supremacie may tread I should meruaile that your proud heads should stoupe so low as the sole of the Popes slipper did I not knowe that it is the nature of Serpents to be byting as the heele Suppose you deuoure at last this slipper with the parings of the Popes great toe (o) Counters p. 40. whereof you seeme to say that we make great account yet the force to bruise the Serpents head being not in the shoe but in the naked sole of the foote as Naturalists write (p) Rupert l. 3. de Trinit c. 20. Perer. in cap. 3. gen v. 15. Sinuda mulieris planta viuacissimum serpentis vel leuiter pressit this bare truth alone that the Roman Churches Supremacie was generally belieued of Christians more then a thousand yeares agoe planted amongst the English in their originall conuersion vnto Christ This cleere and vndeniable verity confessed euen by the enemies of that Sea is able I say to strike dead the heresie of this age which more then any other creeping vpon the ground and on her belly (q) Super pectus tuum gradieris terram comedes Gen. 3. busied in worldly and veneriall things hisseth at this point of Catholike religion 36. Now as for the meritts of good workes the third point wherein you say we haue S. Gregorie against vs your owne auhors write that he did highly magnifie the workes of Supererogation Monachisme Satisfastions Vowes (r) Carion in Cronico l. 4. pag. 567. giuing too much to freewill and good workes (ſ) Osiander Cent. 6. pag. 28● This Saint saith that in heauen there shal be differences of dignities (t) l. 4.
