Emperour Claudius whereby it fell out that he was present in Jerusalem at the assembly of the Apostles recited by Saint Luke Act. 15. which is but a meere iest and a notable lye Act. 15.16.17 deuised in his Monkish cap For he can by no meanes shew nor by any approoued Author verifie it besides that that Saint Luke alleageth touching this matter prooueth him a lyer Where he sayth that S. Paul hauing stayed for a time in Antiochia after his returne from Ierusalem went to visit the Churches where he and Barnabas had Preached and hauing past by Siria and Cilicia came to Iconia and from thence went for Phrigia and Galatia and then to Macedonia where he stayed long time Preaching in many places thereof at the last he came to Athens and from thence to Corinthus where he met with Aquilla and Priscila who not long before or lately came thither out of Italy because Claudius had commaunded the Iewes to depart out of Rome Now this word lately sheweth that Onuphrius deceiueth himselfe or else would deceiue other men affirming that S. Peter was driuen out of Rome by Claudius For S. Paul hauing stayed from the time of the Sinode at Ierusalem in Antiohia could not haue made so long a voyage Preaching the Gospell almost in euery place where he past in so short a time And touching the rest if it were so that S. Peter had been at Rome doth it follow that hee was the head of the Church There is but one onely Iesus Christ who is also the true stone of the Fayth whereupon the Church of God is erected and not Saint Peter Which hath been so often prooued by the Authorities and witnesses of the most auncient Doctors that it would be but meere labour lost to reiterate it onely I wil alleadge one witnes taken out of their own Authors which by consequent they cannot reprooue Petra dedit Petro Petrus diadema Rodulpho The stone that is Christ gaue the Diadem to Peter and Peter gaue it to Redulphus Now although this is false as it shall heereafter be prooued so is it notwithstanding that God by a iust iudgement admirable wisedom hath drawne from this lye that the stone gaue Peter the Diadem this true confession that Christ is the stone as also the glose Et Super hanc Petram in the distinction 19. C. ita Dominus sayth I beleeue that the Lord by this indiction hath declared no other thing then only the words which S. Peter answered vnto the Lord when he said thou art the Christ the Son of the lyuing God For the Church is erected vpon this article of the faith Then God hath built his Church vpon himselfe Also behold what is added in the margent Where he saith vpon this stone c. That is the same which thou hast confessed that is to say my selfe for the stone was Christ De consecrat dist 2. C●re vera Vpon which foundation Peter was edified It is then by a false tytle that the Pope saith that he sitteth in S. Peters chayre that he is the Father of those that call themselues Catholiques soueraigne Pastor of the sheepe For without making any long discourse touching the disloyalties disorders couetousnes ambition intollerable tyrannie and pride more then diabolical where with the most part of those that haue mounted vp into this abhominable seate haue bin adorned and inriched or rather spotted and defiled seeing the hystories of their liues are filled therewith What duety of a Father or Pastor I beseech you doe they shew Is it in setting Iesus Christ and al his benefits to sale Is it in sucking the substance of Kingdomes by theyr pardons and indulgences And further by meanes of the Annates and such like diabolicall inuentions and all to draw money into their purses Haue we any one example of the Apostles which in any thing doth resemble these things Sueto in Tiberio The Emperor Tiberius although an Infidel and a tyrant did neuerthelesse say that it is the ducty of a good Pastor to sheare the sheep but not to flea them If wee looke into the trafique and pollicies of the Citty of Rome we shal find it to be but a right fleaing how much wors I omit That which this holy father addeth is no truer then the rest that went before for how is it possible for saith to shine where it is not Will you say that there is the fayth where mans traditions and inuentions are preferred before the expresse commandements of God This onely example shall suffice God often times sayth and that in most plaine and cuident wordes Thou shalt not make any Image nor the likenesse thereof neyther shalt thou worshippe them The Pope saith thou shalt erect Images and the likenesse of God and of his Saints and shalt worship them with the same worship that belongeth vnto the thinges which they represent Can there bee any faith there where the simple people are taught to haue recourse vnto creatures to inuoke and call vpon them and to make vowes and seruices to them that belong to God alone Likewise can there bee faith where men teach that we must doubt the promises of God there where the soueraigne Bishop with his supporters openly boldly and shamelesly maintaine that the holy Scriptures although diuinely inspired and profitable Doctrine to reprehend correct and reprooue that the man of God may bee perfect and instructed in all good workes are neuerthelesse imperfect and vncertaine and that wee must haue recourse vnto traditions which they terme the vnwritten word Where he saith that this truth hath neuer bin changed by any course of times That shal be found to be most vntrue by such as will but conferre the Doctrine which the holy Prophets and Apostles haue left vs in writing with their inuentions and traditions for that the one resembleth the other as much as light and darknesse and truth and vntruth But beholde a most sufficient witnes of the vnion that the celebration of this Iubile where the name of God is outragiously blasphemed the bloud of the Sonne of God villanously abused and troden vnder foote and his death and passion exposed for a mockery and pastime This notwithstanding this holy Father the better to couer his subtilty and mallice full of deceipt will ground his Iubile vpon that which is Prophesied of our Lord Iesus Christ in Esay 61. As our Lord himselfe expoundeth it in Luk. 4. But beholde vnaduisedly not thinking thereof he discouereth his deceipts and impostures being cleane contrary to that he saith hee will doe following our Sauiour Christ It is said in Luke 4. that Iesus Christ according to his manner being entred into the Sinagogue of Nazareth vpon a Saboath day stood vp to read and that the booke of the Prophet Esay was layd before him hauing opened it he turned to the parcell of Scripture where it is witten the Spirit of God is vpon me because he hath annointed me He hath sent me to the

AN ANSWERE OR ADMONITION to those of the Church of Rome touching the Iubile proclaimed by the Bull made and set foorth by Pope Clement the eyght for the yeare of our Lord. 1600. Translated out of French LONDON Printed by E. Allde for Iohn VVolfe An aduertisement or admonition to those of the Church of Rome touching the Iubile proclaimed by the Bull made and set foorth by Pope Clement the eyght for the yeere of our Lord. 1600. YOu of the Church of Rome that beare the name of Christians and vaunt your selues to be Catholike members of the Catholike and Apostolike Church adding thervnto the name of Romaine Now it is time that you awake from the profound sleepe wherein long time you haue continued and open your eies in a manner blinded with the obscurity of errors where with you haue continually bin nourished and fed by the traditions of worldly men vnder the beautifull tytles which by vsurpation they attribute vnto themselues for if euer you had matter or occasion to acknowledge that the sonne of perdition of whome Saint Paul speaketh in the 2. to the Thess 2. is reuealed and that he sitteth in the Temple of God making himselfe God and vsurping the power and authority that appertaineth onely vnto God yea and lifting vp himselfe aboue that which is called God in that he taketh vpon him to controwle the ordinaunces and decrees of God certainly it is now or else neuer And againe if you will looke narrowly into and examine the contents of the Bull rightly to bee termed a bubble or bottle of water touching the Iubile you shal most manifestly perceiue it God grant you the grace that in truth this yeere may be vnto you the agreeable and peaceable yeere of your saluation and remission of your sinnes in one only Iesus Christ 1. Cor. 1. Act. 4. our wisedome Iustice Sanctification and redemption who is onely giuen vs by the Father to this effect Pope Clement the eyght following the good and commendable custome of his Predecessors as he saith therby the better to strengthen and increase the Kingdome of Antichrist and more and more to bring in subiection the consciences of men vnder his tiranny hath pronounced the Iubile for the yeere of our Lord 1600. adorning and inriching the same with most beautifull tytles the better to cause his Marchandize to be esteemed But as being placed in this seate he is the eldest Sonne of Sathan that he hath rather succeeded Simon Magus then Simon Peter in this pretended authority therfore he beginneth his goodly Bull with a most manifest and open lye And to speake truth he could not otherwise maintaine his trumpery and abhominable errors He saith that the Iubile ought to be celebrated according to the custome within the Citty of Rome because it is found to be so by the auncient traditions c. But he cannot shew that this custome hath bin ordained and appointed by Iesus Christ our great Doctor and onely Master Neither yet that it was euer practised nor put in vse by the Apostles For as the auncient Doctor S. Tertullian saith Iesus Christ saith not I am the custome Against Hermogenes but I am the truth And Saint Ciprian conformable thereunto custome without the truth is the antiquity of error And if wee must onely heare Iesus Christ we must not stay nor lay holde vpon that which any one before vs shall haue esteemed lawfull to be done but vpon that which Christ who is before all men hath first done for wee must not follow the customes of men but the truth of God And althought Clement the eyght saith that this institution hath not proceeded from a vaine superstition but of a pure and religious worshipping Yet can it not be true but cleane contrary for that all whatsoeuer is done without faith is sinne and faith is not grounded vpon the institution and traditions of men but onely vpon the pure word of God So that then it appeareth that the superstition grounded vpon insatiable auarice and immoderate ambition of such as haue attained vnto this Seate haue forged this Iubile after the manner of the secular yeere of the Romaines That is of a certaine Feast and playes which was celebrated euery hundred yeeres within the Citty of Rome among the Pagans as in like manner Candlemas day hath been established by them in place of the Feast which the Pagans vsed to celebrate vpon the same day and with the like ceremonies of Candles and Lights in the honor of their Goddesse Proserpin Marke then how these good Prelates and heades of the Church haue transfigured the feastes of the Pagans into their Papistical Feastes onely changing the names But let vs see the antiquity of the institution of this Bul Platine vpon Boniface 8. Naucler we finde by writing that in Anno 1300. Pope Boniface the eight caused the first Iubile to bee published to the same ende aforesaid as hee said according to the institution mentioned in the olde Testament Gen. 44. and commaunded it to be celebrated euery hundred yeares Beholde the originall of the Iubile edified vpon a good foundation beholde a good successor of the Apostles that taught vs a ful deliueraunce and discharge from the yoake of the cerimonies of the Law and this Pope will inclose and holde vs in a much more straiter seruitude The Iewish Iubile ordained by the expresse commaundement of God was indifferently obserued throughout all Iudea Leuit. 25. not any man for that cause beeing bound to goe vnto Ierusalem And this Pope incloseth it within his Citty of Rome but of that we will speake more heereafter There are then but three hundred yeares fully accomplished since that this inuention hath been established and so by consequence it was not at any time vsed within the precedent 1300. yeares Beholde the great antiquity wherewith these Holy Fathers seeme to fight against vs and by the meanes thereof abuse so many poore people But what is this Boniface of happy memory of whome Clement the eyght is successor If wee may beleeue certaine Historiographers as in truth his entrye into the Papacie all the course of his life and his death manifestly declare he was one that entred like a foxe raigned like a lyō and dyed like a dogge Is he not then a Pope of happye memorye Notwithstanding it is no meruayle though Clement saith so for that the memorie of the most parte of the rest of the Popes is not much better and diuers of them much more abhominable The Historians aforesaid speaking of the wicked acte he had played with this Pope Clement his predecessor which was that after he had perswaded him like a craftie foxe to leaue the Papacie whē this poore Celestine went againe vnto his Hermitage he like a furious lyon caused him to be cast in prison where with griefe he dyed Adde further that this man appeared to be a personage ful of great ingratitude and deceit in this that being prouoked by
