Wherewith Martin Azpileneta vnto whose doctrine Gregory the thirteenth gaue the attestation of vnanswerable and Holy And of whom the Iesuit Horat. Tursellimus in the life of Lauerius affirmeth That hee was a man excellent for his honestie and learning congratulateth himselfe and boasteth that he commanded vnto a certaine great Prince the Apothegme Qui nescit dissimulare nescit viuere Whereof the sayde Prince made afterwards great vse and profite These were the passions that troubled our forraigne Nouellists In lieu of many to auoid prolixity now let vs proceed to examine at what marke the Romanists on this side the sea doe also leuell And Saunders for that hee will satisfie vs by Scripture is traced by Bellarmine and magnified by our aduersaries to be a man of most eminent learning shall bee speaker for the whole factorie But by the way you must note that these had their priuate respects in their hearts while they held their pens in their hands So this our Country-man was not destitute of his priuate passion also which was either an ouer-hard conceit against his deerest Soueraigne Queen Elizabeth out of whose Kingdome hee was banished or an ouer-weeing respect deuoted vnto the seruice and gracious aspect of Pope Pius the fift vnto whom hee stood many wayes beholden Otherwise your consciences would assure you that he would neuer haue broached so manifest a lye The worke whereat hee aymed and the greeuances which disquieted his penne your discretions may iudge of by reuoking to minde the daies wherein hee liued and the personage that then reigned Mutato nomine the positions you know as yet are as peremptorily maintained and therefore aboue the rest fittest to be spoken vnto With a liuely suke to corroborat a bad matter hee groundeth his first authority his reasons arguments as flowing from the bitternesse of his priuate braine I will ouer-passe vpon the second booke of Cronicles the 26. Chapter where we read Oziam regem cùm sacerdotum officium vsurpauit á Pontifice fuisse de templo eiectum Et cum propter idem peccatū lepra a Deo percussus fuisset coactùm etiam fuisse ex vrbe discedere regnum filio renunciare Quod non sponte sua sed ex sententia sacerdotis vrbe regni administratione priuatus fuerit patet Nā legimus Leuit. 13. Quicunque inquit Lex maculatus fuerit lepra seperatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis solus habitabit extra castra Cum ergo haec fuerit Lex in Israel simul legimus 2. Paralip 26. Regem habitasse extra vrbem in domo solitaria filium eius in vrbe iudicasse populum terrae cogimur dicere fuisse cū ad arbitrium sacerdotis separatum consequentèr regnandi authoritate priuatum Si ergo propter lepram corporalem poterat sacerdos olim regem iudicare regno priuare quare id non potest modo propter lepram spiritualem id est propter haeresim quae per lepram figurabatur vt August decet in questionibus Euangelicis lib. 2. quaest 40. praesertim cum 1. Cor. 10. Paulus dicat Contigisse Iudeis omnia in figuris Haec ille That Ozias the King when he vsurped vpon the office of the Priest-hood was by the Priest cast out of the temple And when for the same sinne he was strucken by God with leaprosie he was constrained to depart out of the City to resigne the kingdom to his sonne That not of his own accord but by the sentence of the high Priest hee was banished the City and depriued of the gouernment of the kingdome It appeareth Leuit. 13. whosoeuer saith the Law shall bee touched with the leaprosie and is seperated by the iudgement of the Priest he shall dwell by himselfe without the tents Sithence then this was the Law in Israel as also that we read 2. Paralip 26. That the King dwelled without the City in a solitary Mansion and that his sonne iudged the people of the land within the City wee must of necessity confesse that hee was sequestred by the iudgment of the Priest and consequently depriued of all authority of gouernment If then in respect of corporall leprosie the Priest of old might dispose of the King and dispossesse him of his kingdome Wherefore now may not the Pope doe the like in case of spirituall leprosie viz. for heresie figured by Leprosie as saith S. Augustin in his Euangelicall questions lib. 2. quaest 40. Especially when in the first to the Cor. ca. 10. Paul saith That all things were manifested vnto the Iewes in figures Hitherto Saunders Take him at his word and heere were learning enough to deceiue millions of soules but examine him by his owne authority and you shall find him in a miserable taking vnlesse God be mercifull For to prooue it most false That Ozias was depriued of his regall Authority by the sole iudgement of the high Priest Nothing through the whole History of the Kings is more liuely expressed then that Ozias from the sixteenth yeere of his age when he began to raign to the 60. yeere wherein he died was perpetuall King Neither was he at any time during his naturall life depriued of his kingdome Without question he dwelled in an House apart And in that respect for the nature of his Disease hee could not dispatch the office of a King which is of fact But that bereaued him not of the right of his kingdome neither of his Kingly capacity for so wee should deny that Children being crowned as in times past Ioas and Iosias were and men of full age if they had fallen into irrecouerable sicknesses either of mind or body to be Kings sithence the one by nonage the other by sicknesse are necessarilie sequestred from managing the State which consisteth in action 2. But Ozias continued king as long as he liued For the scripture saith In the seuen and twentith yeere of Ieroboam king of Israel raigned Azarias called also Ozias and Zacharias the sonne of Amazias king of Iuda Sixteen yeere old was he when he began to raigne and he raigned fifty two yeeres in Ierusalem Behold our Romanist here plainely detected of an vntrueth as I promised gone before and that by the truest testimony that humane satisfaction can vnder the concaue of the heauens demand But to bewray the true genius of impudency I will yet go farther to his and his partakers finall confusion Witnesse the 2. of Kings v. 27. In the two and fiftieth yeere of Azarias King of Iuda Pekan the sonne of Romeliah raigned ouer Israel in Samaria Heere is plaine dealing and matter vpon record How shall we here beleeue this Romanist when the spirit of trueth and Antiquity giueth vs assurance that he continued King thirty six yeers after his Coronation To the further verifying wherof if it were possible Iosephus recordeth in his 9. book of Antiquities cap. 11.
