vpon the regall Throne so long as the Sunne and Moone endureth Haec regnd tenere Et natos natorum qui nascentur ab illis That all his Subiects may euer pray for him obey him and honor him aswel in deeds as words hea●ts as tongues saying and praying God saue the King CHAP. VII THE fourth duty of Subiects to be duly rendred and tendered to their annointed Soueraignes is loyall and faithfull seruice thinking themselues as Tiberius said of his People Homines ad seruitutem nati Men borne to doe them seruice And therefore it was a commendable order as Melancthon records it that euery Citizen did sweare taking a corporall Oath Pugnabo pro sacris pro legibus pro aris focis solus simul cum alijs ne patriam meam deteriorem qua accepi posteris tradam omnibus viribus enitar I will fight for Religion for our lawes c alone with others and I will with all my might rather endeauour to better then to make worse my Countrey to posterity acknowledging themselues seruants to their Countrey and vowing their best endeauours to doe her faithfull seruice So all true subiects are bound by the Lawes of God and men to be faithfull seruants to their Soueraignes and if they neglect or reiect this duty I may say to them as Dauid did to Abner Ye be worthy to die because ye haue not kept your Master the Lords Annointed because you haue not been faithfull seruants to your anointed Soueraignes If any Bighthan or Teresh seek to lay hands on our gracious Soueraigne with faithfull Mordecai and Ester speedily preuent it by reuealing it If any King of Aram takes counsell with his seruants against the King of Israel with faithfull Elisha reueale it to your Caesar euen the words he speakes in his Priuy Chamber nay not onely reueale it but reuenge it In reos Maiestatis publicos Hostes omnis homo miles est saith Tertullian against Traytors and publike enemies euery man is a Souldier yea in this kind and sence we may and must in fortitudine nostra sumere cornua with Zedekiah make hornes of iron to push these treachercus Aramites vntill wee haue consumed them giue couragious resistance to treacherous violence vntill they may receiue deserued doome by Iustice And for the performance of this loyall seruice to their appointed Soueraignes no condition of men vnder the Sunne can pleade immunity neither Popes Priests nor People the Pope cannot pleade priuiledge if he will stand to his owne and old title Seruus seruorum A seruant of Seruants but he carries himselfe now adayes as if his Prentiship were out and would change his stile to be Dominus Dominorum A Lord ouer his Lord as the old Poet tels vs Roma tibi quondam fuerant Domini Dominorum Seruorum serui nunc tibisunt Domini For he disclaimes in action his old appellation the seruant of seruants neuer vses it but by way of equiuocation But to let him goe for Senex psittacus non capit ferulam He is too old to learne and happy are those Kings that haue least part of his seruice but if it please the Pope to be like the High Priests and I thinke that title is high enough for him they were content to call themselues seruants vnto Kings as Abimilech accounted himselfe Sauls seruant Let not the King impute any thing vnto his seruant c. And Zadocke the High Priest called by Dauid his seruant So Aaron to Moses Ne indignetur Dominus meus Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fierce In a word Summi sacerdotes regibus subdebantur saith their Iesuite Their chiefe Priests were subiects and seruants to Kings in the Law and the chiefe Apostle euen Saint Peter from whom they would fetch their Pedegree of Primacy enioynes all in the Gospell to submit themselues for the Lords sake whether it be vnto the King as vnto the superior So that their freedome from seruice to the Princes of the Earth hath no warrant except from the Prince of the Ayre to whom Rome dedicates her scepter and seruice And this loyall seruice of the members vnto the royall and Princely Head ought to be dutifull faithfull and perpetuall that is the happy seruice which comes from an hearty obedience many things may seeme so in apparance which are not so in eslence It is the practise and very prayers of the wicked to cry thus Hor. 1. Epist 16. Da mihi fallere da iustum sanctumque videri Noctem peccatis fraudibus obijce nubem If they seeme trusty in shew though treasonable in heart they care not like bad seruants not in singlenesse of heart but with seruice to the eye as men-pleasers obey they their regall Masters This Age is full of such treacherous hearts as deceiptfull as Ioab to Amasa who tooke him aside to speake with him peaceably and smote him vnder the fift rib that he died or like Dalilah to Sampson with faire words and weeping to betray him to the Philistines No treason but in trust Decipimur specie recti The fained voice of Fowlers catcheth the Partridges Plouers The Mother of Error puts on her maske to bee taken for the Daughter of Time truth The Wolfe in sheeps cloathing scarce knowne from the sheapheards dogge Ptolomie the sonne of Abusus vnder a faire vizard of loue and kindnes feasting Simeon and his two sonnes killes them in his banquetting house Herod when he would play the wolfe he counterfetted a Foxe Goe and search diligently for the Babe and when ye haue found him bring me word that I may worship him his meaning was to worrie him So Iudas comes with his Aue Rabbi Haile Master betraying him with a kisse Do'i non sunt doli nisi astu celas Plautus So many a perfidious Traytor will cry Aue Caesar God saue the King but it is with such an affectiō as Antoninus Caracalla said of his brother Geta Sit diuus modo non viuus Let him be a Saint or a King in Heauen so he be not a King on Earth Beware of dissemblers parasites and equiuocators His nomina mille mille nocendi artes Such are full of fraud full of villany beleeue them as the people of Rome belieued Carbon swearing neuer to credit him They are like to Polypus haue various shapes changing themselues into Angels of light but Malus vbi se bonum simulat tunc est pessimus A bad man when he counterfetteth to be good is worst Simulata sanctitas est duplex iniquitas A counterset holinesse is a two fold wickednesse Let vs performe according to our place faithfull hearty and trusty seruice to our dread Soueraigne and though the wicked labour to darken with a cloud of slaunder our faire and faithfull seruice yet at last that eclips of enuy will vanish of it selfe and our owne innocency

to be true seruants to their Sauiour or good subiects to their Souereigne I Hauing finished yet in great weakenesse our former worke wherein I doe humbly craue of all sorts a friendly and fauourable construction and acceptation and there still remaining a few pages vnwritten I thought it not labout lost if I did annexe some common yet courteous direction to the Lay-papists of the land to disswade them from the corrupt Doctrine of the Church of Rome vnto the which they are induced by the inchaunting allurements of Popish Priests men whose learning and wits are tempting baites yea bawdes Thamar-like prostitute themselues so that they may haue children they will deceiue their owne father Iudah as also by the ignorance of these Lay-disciples whose right eyes of knowledge they thrust out as Nahash the Ammonite would haue done to the men of Iabesh Gilead depriuing them of the word of knowledge the Scripture and saying It was the Deuills inuention to permit the people to reade the Bible as one of their fide writes and therfore the Church of Rome forbiddeth the reading of it among the people By which meanes oh wofull meanes and to cry with their owne Doctor to their Cleargy for it woe to our Parish Priests woe to our Bishops woe to our Prelates they haue brought in such a floud of prodigious ignorance as that many of them are as ignorant as that Knight was of whom Claudius Esp●ncaem tells of who being demanded his beliefe touching the holy Ghost answered he knew not whether there was an holy Ghost or no. So that their followers being so blind not able to iudge of colours wanting the word of Truth the Scripture in the tongue they vnderstand which is the lapis Lydius the touchstone to try the truth from error diuina statera as Augustin calles it the diuine ballance to weigh truth from falsehood it is easie to winde such into selfe-losing labyrinthes and to driue them with their painted clothes like woodcockes into their nets and to goe with them with Domitius Chalderinus yet hee learned who when he should goe to the Masse accustomed to say Eamus ad communem errorem Let vs goe to the common error So these are content to goe to Masse the common or Catholicke mother of all Bastard errors The attractiue motiues which draw many to fancy and follow the religion of the Church of Rome may be reduced to three Heads 1. The Antiquitie 2. The Vniuersality 3. The Vnity of that Church which three if they could be found there were of powerfull consequence to mooue reuerence but neither of these can be found there for the moderne Romane Church which coines so often new Creedes and Articles of faith and is reuolted from herselfe in substance of doctrine is no more like herselfe in her primitiue State then Lais the Curtizan is an honest woman I could demonstrate this I say without controulement if I were purposed to write a common-place-booke of Controuersies in this point but it hath beene handled so largely and learnedly by other Diuines of our Church that I may at this time forbeare any long discourse I will but touch it and instance this I write how the moderne Church of Rome is swarued from herselfe not onely from the Truth which primitiue Rome embraced but also varied from herselfe declining into heresie innouating those Articles and dogmaticall points of faith as they count them which in the processe of her fall she professed it might be specified in most of the points of Doctrine she maintaines at this present time but I will rest with these few for I write but an Epitome 1 Example shall be in the Sacrament At the first the people receiued the cup as well as the bread for the space of a thousand yeeres yea afterward the Romance Church commanded the wine to be consecrated that the lay-people might fully communicate saith Micrologus most and the best Papists liked this well that the people should communicate in both kinds but afterward the Councell of Constance forbad it and after that the Councell of Basil released the decree of Constance to some and after that the Councell of Trent the mint of errors confirmed it againe and depriued the Laity of the Cup Sect. 21. c. 2. So that this point of Doctrine now maintained in the Church of Rome can pleade no antiquity being now so oft renewed put vp and put downe and their most ancient Liturgies shew how the people receiued the wine as well as the bread and this custome saith Caietan endured long in the Church and as one of their Church say It were better if this custome were renewed againe 2 Example in Transubstantiation Transubstantiation lately brought into the Church and made a matter of faith by a silly Pope Innocent the third in the Lateran Councell within these 400 yeeres and the Papists themselues say this opinion is very new and lately brought into the Church and beleeued onely vpon the authority of the Lateran Councell and speake so vncertainely and inconstantly in this point and doe so stagger enterfere in their opinion herein confessing that there is no Scripture to conuince it vnlesse ye bring the Church of Romes exposition so that hitherto we can see no great antiquity nor good vniuersality in their doctrine 3 Example in Popes supremacy The Councell of Constance and Basil decreed That a generall Councell was of greater authority then the Pope but long after that the Councels of Lateran and Trent decreed contrary The Councels of Chalcedon and Constantinople make the Bishop of Constantinople equall with the Bishop of Rome yet now he arrogates a supremacy aboue Bishops aboue Councels aboue Kings aboue all his title no lesse then vniuersall Bishop yet Gregory who was Pope of Rome saith I hat he dare confidently say He is the forerunner of Antichrist in his pride whosoeuer he be that calleth himselfe vniuersall Bishop but this smoaky pompe of pride the Pope now likes well enough and makes it an Article of Faith to swea●e obedience to his primacy and he that denies this denies Fidem Catholicam The Catholicke Faith faith Bellarmine I might here produce other examples of Popish Doctrine crept in by degrees as their abhominable Image-worship brought in by the second Councell of Nice the first restraint of Priests marriage by Pope Siritius the doctrine of the merit of workes lately by the Schoolemen as Waldensis writes Their prayers to the dead Popes pardons Purgatory a Platonicall or poeticall fiction Auricular confession with other like triuiall trash which if they haue any colour of antiquity yet they haue no colour of verity And what is antiquity without verity Saint Cyprian tels vs Consuetudo sine veritate est vestustas erroris Continuance without truth is the antiquity of error And againe Non hom ines consuei ●dinem

sequi ●porter sed Dei veritatem Wee may not follow the custome of men but the truth of God for as Tertullian Quodcunque contra veritatem sapit hoc erit haeresit etiam consuetudo Whatsoeuer is contrary to truth is heresie euen custome and antiquity Ignatius writes that he heard some say Nisi Euangelium in ●nt quis inuenero non credam Vnlesse I find the Gospel among the Ancients I will not beleeue it P●gani saith Austen Antiquitatis causa se verum tenere contendunt The Pagans for the cause of antiquity contend they hold the truth If antiquity might carry it the Iewes might carry it from the Christians The Church of Antioch from the Church of Rome for so saith Bellarmine Petrus Antiochiae Cathedram suam aliquandiu tenebat priusquam ad Romam eam transtulisset Peter did set his Chaire at Antioch before he translated it to Rome Indeed the woman of Samaria pleades antiquity to Christ our Fathers worshipped in this mountaine and ye say that in Ierusalem is the place where men ought to worship so say our Lay-Papists Our Fathers worshipped God with Images with the Masse c. But Christ will say to them as to that woman ye worship that which ye know not Away with your wicked and wil-worship I will be worshipped according to my word The great hinderance saith the Iesuite Acosta to the plantation of the Roman Faith among the Indians Ex inueterata consuetudine proficiscitur proceeds from their ancient custome wherein before they were inured and from it hardly reclaimed and as the Iesuite Xauerius saith Indi ne Christiani fierent hanc causam afferebant so à maioribus suis semper cultores extitisse c. The Indians that they should not be made Christians alleadged this cause that they had alwayes beene worshippers according to their Forefathers The same is the answere of many Papists We serue God as our Fathers did and yet the Lord saith to all walke not in the ordinances of your Forefathers neither obserue their manners nor defile your selues with their Idols I am the Lord your God walke in my Statutes c. Men should not doe as the most doe but as they must doe God doth not say walke as others doe but Haec est via ambulate in ea This is the way walke ye in it Truth is not to be tried by antiquity or vniuersality but by the Scripture Nabuchadnezars idolatry graced with vniuersality onely three doe gainesay it In a word with Cyprian Multitude errantium non parit errori patrocinium An erring multitude doth not patronize error It hath beene a long time the calumny and reproaches of Popish Priests men who haue an infirmity to void excrements at their mouth to defame our Church with an vpstart nouelty where was your Church before Martin Luthers time We doe not fetch our Religion from Martin Luther a worthy man but from the Scripture from Christ and his Apostles we want no antiquity hauing the Scripture your Iesuite will tell you so much Sanctarum Scropturarum summa est antiquitas c. The Holy Scripture is of the greatest antiquity and that Church whose doctrine agrees with it is most ancient Yet Martin Luther is more ancient then your Tridentine Fathers and brood of Iesuites the Atlasses to support your falling Church But many hundred yeeres before Luthers dayes there wanted not famous and zealous men who resisted the corrupt doctrine of the Church of Rome the persons and the points the time when in all Ages are compendiously recited by a iudicious and very learned Diuine of our Church to whose Booke for breuity sake I referre my Reader The nakednesse of the Roman Diana was discouered long agoe for which dscouery many good men haue beene Acteon-like hunted by bloody hounds to death Corruptions spread by degrees Et tanquam cancer serpit as Espencaeus creepes stealing like a Canker infects one part then another Such hath beene the malady of the Church of Rome their creeping corruptions canker-like first one part then another point that it is hard to set downe the precise time when these corruptions ingendered The Greekes debated long on this probleme The ship Argos wherin Iason sayled for the golden Flecce after the voyage ended was laied vp in the roade for a Monument where decaying by degrees it was repaired by peeces anew in the end the whole substance of the vessell extinct and nothing left but onely the reparations successiuely made Now the question was whether-this ship suppose it Peters were the same that he sayled in when he liued or an other renewed and whether can any man tell when such a peece was added such a part supplied And if this cannot be so precisely shewed doth it follow infallibly that it was the very Argosie wherein Iason sayled So in this case their ship their Church so often peeced so many new points added euery Pope almost changing his Predecessors decrees abrogating this point and augmenting it with another that it is indeed a new ship and can iustly pleade no great antiquity And for vniuersality and vnity in Doctrine no Church so much diuided VVe doe reade how Popes vsually haue condemned that which other Popes haue confirmed Councels contradicted that which others haue concluded Their outcries in Schooles Pulpets Consistories one against another makes their diuision and difcord audible That we may say of them which Lucian of the old Phlosophers With the noise of their disputations they haue so filled the eares of Iupiter and made him deafe that he cannot heare their prayers How irreconciliable are the iars and contentions of Scotus Aquinas Egidius Romanus and others that they imitate the wranglings of the old Academicks Stoicks and Peripatetickes Haue they not Families of the Schoolemen wherein euery one professeth his particular Sect-Master Thomas Scotus Occham Durandus both Masters and Scholers haue spent their lines and liues in opposition The Dominican and Franciscan Friers many ages quarrelling about the conception of the Virgin Mary Their writers sharping their pens one against another Armachanus against the Friers the Iesuites and secular Priests one against another Catharinus against Caietan Catharinus and Soto one against another Pighius Gropper B●rus Peresius Cassander Hosius Almayne c great pillars of Popery some fourescore yeeres agoe are now by late Iesuites contemned and confuted who knoweth not saith Bellarmine that Pighius in many points was miserably seduced by reading Caluins Bookes and of Gropper and other Diuines of Collen he saith Their Bookes haue need of the Churches censure Yea are not the writers of the last stampe euen Bellarmine Gregory of Valence Stapleton Suarez Vasquez Molina Baronius c vp to the eares in contention and faction among themselues Bellarmine confuted by Bar●layus Suarez Carerius Marsilius yea Bellarmine hath often confuted himselfe by contradictions Suarez confuted by Vasques Baronius by
