Mother while as by a perfidious prevarication abjuring the true doctrine of the Catholicke Apostolicke and Romane Church hee hath openlie and avowedlie fled to the societie of Heretickes and hath given vp his name to impietie and lies But what is the cause of his being so bent vnto so great and headlongs a destruction But the inbred pryde of his mynd and his vnbrydled lust wherewith he was ever seene by them who knew him best to be inflamed with an vndaunted burning whence being blinded and according to his lustes beeing still kindeled having shaken off the sweet yoke of Christ hee hath become the bondslaue of Heresie which of all sinnes is the verie accomplishment Seeing therefore as Christian Emperours doe speak that that which is done agaynst divine Religion is an injurie done vnto all by farre greater right then hath that sacred Facultie esteemed that contumelie done by a degenerated sonne agaynst Christ and the fayth of Christ to be done agaynst her and that so it belongeth vnto her according to the grievous great haynousnes of the cryme by her censures to chastise the same by a publick detestation to remoue the same from her Altho it is not to bee feared that these bastard plants will root deeplie or haue anie stable fastening Woe vnto thee then who hath proven a deserting sonne and back-slyder that thou should take counsell but not of me and thou should begin a web but not by my spirit that so thou may joyne sinne vnto sinne who walks so that thou may goe down into Aegypt to the synagogue of satan and did not aske counsell at my mouth nor was mindfull of my commandementes Thou hast cast away my discipline behind thee hoping for help in the strēgth of Calvin and his followers and placing thy confidence in the shadow of Aegypt that is in the conventicle of Hereticks but that imaginarie strength shal be vnto thee to thy confusion and thy confidence in that shadow which thou followest after having disdayned the bodie of the orthodox Church shall bee vnto thee to thy ignominie and shame WHEREFORE The sacred Facultie of Theologie at Paris according to the appoyntmēt of the Apostle by cōmon consent hath condemned the fore-named Francis Cupif as a wicked perjured sacrilegious Apostate and Heretick consequently by his own judgement against himselfe condemned for ever hath blotted him out of our number degraded him of all degree honour or Title which ever hee had amongst vs and decreed by a publik Programe or intimation a curse to be denounced agaynst him Done at Sorbon in their solemne meeting the first day of Iulie and confirmed the fourteenth day therof in the yeare of our LORD 1637.
