people wherein the Faith is Preached and the Unity of the Church preserved Neither do the Hereticks omit any thing whereby they may render the power by which the peace of the Church is preserved grievous and odious to Princes and their Subjects and by these Frauds they withdraw the Simple from the Communion of their Mother the Church and of Christ To prevent which Evils we the Archbishops and Bishops met at Paris by the Kings Command representing the Gallican Church with other Ecclesiastical Persons deputed together with us have after Mature deliberation thought fit that the following Articles should be established and declared I. That the power of things Spiritual and such as belong to our eternal Salvation was given by God to St. Peter and his Successors Christs Vicars and to his Church but not that of things Civil and Temporal our Lord saying My Kingdom is not of this World And again Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods And this is meant by the Words of the Apostle Let every Soul be subject to the Higher Powers For all power is from God and all powers are ordained by God He therefore that resisteth resisteth the Ordinance of God That therefore Kings and Princes are not by the Command of God subject in things Temporal to any Ecclesiastical Power neither can they directly or indirectly be Deposed by the power of the Keys of the Church nor their Subjects be freed from their Duty and Obedience and Oath of Allegiance And that this Opinion necessary for the publick Peace and no less useful to the Church than the State is to be Maintained as altogether agreeable to the Word of God the Tradition of the Fathers and the Examples of the Saints II. But that this full Power of things Spiritual is so in the Apostolical See and St. Peters Successors the Vicars of Christ as that withal the Decreets of the Holy Oeconomical Council of Constans made in the 4th and 5th Sessions concerning th Authority of General Councils which have been approved by the Apostolick See and Confirmed by the practice of the Popes of Rome and of the whole Church and always Religiously observed by the Gallican Church are in full Force and continue unalterable And that the Gallican Church condems those that would take from the force of those Decrees as if their Authority was doubted or less approved or would apply them only to the times of Schisms III. That therefore the use of this Apostolick power is to be Moderated by the Canons made by the Spirit of God and Consecrated by the Reverence of the whole World That likewise the Orders Customes and Statutes received by the Crown and the Gallican Church are of Force and that the Bounds fixed by the Fathers ought to remain unremoved and that it concerns the Greatness of the Apostostolick See that the Statutes and Customes confirmed by the consent of so great a See and of the whole Church should be Established upon a firm Foundation IV. That in Questions concerning Faith the Pope has the chief part and that all and singular Churches are concerned in his Decrees But that however his Decisions are not unreformable without the consent of the Church V. Which Doctrines we have received from the Fathers do Decree to be sent to all the Gallican Churches and to the Bishops by the Holy Spirit presiding over them that we may all say the same thing and be all of the same Mind Signed by The Archbishop of Paris President The Archbishop of Rheims Six other Archbishops By 26 Bishops and the rest of the Deputies of the Clergy Registred in the Parliament of Paris the 23. of March 1682.
