A35138	The catechist catechiz'd: or, Loyalty asserted in vindication of the oath of allegiance, against a new catechism set forth by a father of the Society of Jesus To which is annexed a decree, made by the fathers of the same Society, against the said oath: with animadversions upon it. By Adolphus Brontius, a Roman-Catholick.	Cary, Edward, d. 1711.; England. Parliament.	1681 (1681)	Wing C722; ESTC R222415	68,490	195

in_o opposition_n to_o he_o shall_v be_v not_o like_o he_o to_o applaud_v myself_o but_o to_o refer_v my_o answer_n to_o man_n of_o impartial_a judgement_n to_o who_o i_o present_v this_o follow_a

of_o the_o same_o thing_n often_o answer_v without_o advance_v three_o he_o be_v incorrigible_o obstinate_a against_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o the_o law_n lawmaker_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o law_n four_o he_o mind_v not_o circumstance_n to_o understand_v word_n by_o final_o he_o put_v a_o reservation_n where_o nothing_o be_v reserve_v reverend_a father_n be_v this_o christian_a doctrine_n his_o nine_o chapter_n examine_v nothing_o be_v more_o usual_a with_o he_o than_o to_o reckon_v without_o his_o host_n he_o be_v not_o content_a to_o style_v the_o pope_n chief_a judge_n in_o spirituall_n unless_o it_o be_v with_o the_o lustre_n of_o sovereign_n a_o character_n which_o may_v be_v the_o pope_n himself_o will_v not_o admit_v and_o those_o who_o maintain_v a_o general_n council_n to_o be_v above_o the_o pope_n will_v not_o allow_v though_o he_o suppose_v it_o as_o a_o know_a maxim_n true_a it_o be_v among_o the_o roman-catholick_n prelate_n the_o pope_n be_v chief_a judge_n but_o they_o be_v also_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la judge_n so_o that_o in_o the_o court_n of_o judicature_n he_o be_v neither_o monarch_n nor_o sovereign_n but_o suppose_v he_o be_v sovereign_a judge_n in_o spiritual_n as_o the_o king_n be_v in_o temporall_n do_v it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o i_o must_v rather_o obey_v the_o pope_n by_o refuse_v the_o oath_n than_o the_o king_n by_o take_v it_o yes_o say_v he_o because_o the_o lawfulness_n or_o unlawfulness_n of_o a_o oath_n as_o a_o point_n of_o conscience_n lie_v within_o the_o verge_n not_o of_o a_o temporal_a but_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n if_o so_o i_o believe_v the_o new_a oath_n of_o allegiance_n which_o he_o offer_v the_o king_n in_o the_o name_n of_o catholic_n will_v end_v in_o a_o juggle_n especial_o he_o declare_v with_o certainty_n the_o pope_n to_o be_v infallible_a judge_n for_o though_o it_o do_v not_o renounce_v the_o pope_n power_n of_o depose_v yet_o it_o stand_v in_o defiance_n of_o that_o power_n and_o render_v it_o vain_a &_o ridiculous_a as_o never_o practicable_a nay_o the_o subject_n swear_v by_o it_o that_o he_o will_v stand_v by_o the_o king_n and_o disobey_v the_o pope_n if_o he_o attempt_v to_o depose_v he_o and_o can_v any_o man_n of_o sense_n persuade_v himself_o that_o such_o a_o oath_n can_v be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o pope_n who_o claim_v the_o depose_n power_n will_v he_o ever_o permit_v such_o a_o oath_n without_o declare_v it_o unlawful_a and_o if_o he_o shall_v declare_v it_o unlawful_a and_o by_o his_o breve_fw-la prohibit_v it_o to_o be_v take_v must_v he_o not_o be_v obey_v as_o a_o infallible_a judge_n by_o his_o doctrine_n it_o be_v evident_a he_o ought_v you_o see_v then_o this_o catechist_n by_o the_o offer_n of_o his_o new_a oath_n design_n to_o delude_v both_o pope_n and_o king_n but_o this_o answer_n be_v only_o ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la my_o second_o answer_n more_o direct_a be_v that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o sole_a judge_n in_o temporal_n it_o be_v presume_v he_o best_o know_v his_o own_o temporal_a concern_v and_o the_o extent_n of_o his_o power_n as_o the_o pope_n do_v he_o in_o spiritual_n if_o then_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o right_n in_o temporal_n he_o frame_v a_o oath_n to_o be_v take_v by_o his_o subject_n and_o declare_v as_o king_n james_n do_v that_o he_o require_v by_o that_o oath_n nothing_o but_o civil_a or_o temporal_a allegiance_n and_o if_o it_o be_v clear_a unto_o his_o subject_n that_o nothing_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o oath_n but_o temporal_a allegiance_n my_o answer_n i_o say_v be_v that_o it_o be_v within_o the_o verge_n of_o the_o temporal_a power_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o his_o own_o oath_n for_o the_o lawfulness_n depend_v upon_o the_o good_a or_o ill_a design_n of_o the_o lawmaker_n and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o which_o himself_o be_v the_o interpreter_n the_o design_n be_v only_o to_o contain_v his_o subject_n within_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o temporal_a duty_n and_o the_o word_n import_v no_o other_o than_o temporal_a allegiance_n whoever_o wrest_v his_o word_n from_o the_o design_n and_o sense_n by_o he_o declare_v invade_v his_o right_n otherwise_o the_o pope_n assert_v his_o own_o right_a or_o power_n to_o depose_v king_n may_z and_o will_v render_v all_o oath_n repugnant_a to_o that_o power_n illegitimate_a for_o it_o be_v but_o declare_v they_o to_o be_v against_o his_o spiritual_a power_n and_o all_o be_v in_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o the_o question_n of_o depose_v be_v at_o a_o end_n nay_o at_o this_o rate_n of_o argue_v the_o pope_n may_v hedge_v in_o all_o thing_n within_o the_o circle_n of_o his_o jurisdiction_n for_o since_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o bear_v not_o the_o badge_n of_o good_a or_o evil_a lawful_a or_o unlawful_a all_o thing_n must_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o spiritual_a court_n and_o then_o what_o need_v of_o king_n when_o the_o spiritual_a power_n alone_o can_v govern_v the_o universe_n three_o admit_v the_o pope_n be_v judge_n as_o to_o the_o legality_n or_o illegality_n of_o the_o oath_n must_v his_o decision_n always_o prevail_v what_o if_o he_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o sycophant_n as_o be_v the_o fate_n of_o all_o prince_n more_o or_o less_o what_o if_o he_o give_v too_o much_o credit_n to_o sinister_a suggestion_n as_o that_o his_o supremacy_n in_o spiritual_n be_v invade_v his_o

who_o have_v peruse_v the_o book_n of_o the_o misinformer_n against_o the_o oath_n all_o of_o they_o use_v such_o figg-leaf_n pretence_n but_o let_v we_o also_o allow_v that_o there_o be_v fair_a deal_n in_o the_o informer_n may_v not_o this_o judge_n be_v too_o indulgent_a to_o his_o own_o private_a opinion_n and_o so_o as_o to_o deceive_v himself_o and_o other_o undoubted_o he_o may_v for_o on_o all_o side_n it_o be_v confess_v that_o pope_n may_v err_v in_o their_o private_a opinion_n and_o as_o clear_v it_o be_v that_o the_o error_n once_o discover_v nothing_o can_v justify_v a_o
