A61807	The necessity of reformation, with respect to the errors and corruptions of the Church of Rome the second part : wherein is shewed, the vanity of the pretended reformation of the Council of Trent, and of R.H.'s vindication of it : in his fifth discourse concerning the guide in controversies.

are ugly enough yet they are so much more deform'd as drawn by others who yet were no Hereticks that his when compared with theirs may be thought to flatter them Yea I appeal to any indifferent Reader whether Pallavicino himself says not more to the discredit of Leo X. g Hist l. 1. c. 2. Whether the Character he gives of Julius III. does not make more to his disgrace h L. 13. c. 10. n. 8. than that Soave gives him And for those Popes which Soave highly commends does not Pallavicino as much defame them Adrian of whom Soave thought the World not worthy Pallavicino represents as a Pope not worthy of the World He was indeed an excellent Priest but in truth a mean Pope the Cardinals valu'd him above his desert when they exalted him to the Papal Throne i Fu Ecclesiastico ottimo Pontifice in verita mediocre c. l. 2. c. 9. And for Marcellus though he falls foul upon Soave for defaming him yet see what a worthy Eulogie he has left of him 'T was happy for him that he died so soon for had his Reign been long he would hardly have maintain'd by his actions that high opinion the World had conceived of him k Lib. 13. c. 11. n. 7. To conclude this if we may credit Aquilinus Pallavicino seems to have done more mischief to the Church of Rome by what he has written of the Popes than Soave l Certum sane apparet quantum detrimenti Catholicae reipublicae inducat haec Pallavicini historia in his quae de Romanis Pontificibus narrat Unde e contra minus damni Petrus Soave in suo opere afferre videtur p. 77. Quis tulerit Gracchos 2. Having seen how fairly he treats the Popes let us now look whether he hath shew'd himself so just to their Legats in the Council Pallavicino says That he defames not only some but all the Presidents and that perpetually m Non parlo del vituperio perpetuo col quale infama e tutti i Presidenti di essa c. Introduz c. 11. If this Accusation were true it would be a shrewd Argument of his insincerity but how remote it is from the neighbourhood of truth will soon be made appear The Presidents of the Council under Paul III. were John Maria de Monte Cardinal Bishop of Palestrine Marcellus Cervinus Cardinal Priest of the holy Cross and Reginald Pool Cardinal Deacon of S. Mary in Cosmedin Hear now what Soave says of them In this Man viz. Reginald Pool the Pope chose Nobility of Blood and Opinion of Piety which commonly was had of him In Marcellus Constancy and immovable and undaunted Perseverance together with exquisite Knowledge In Monte reality and openness of mind with such Fidelity to his Patrons that he preferred their interest to the safety of his own Conscience n L. 2. p. 111. Is there any thing in this but what is for the credit of Reginald and Marcellus and nothing but the last clause that can reflect the least disparagement upon Monte. He says That the Legats admonition at the opening of the Council was accounted Pious Christian Modest and worthy the Cardinals o L. 2. p. 132. And this I hope is not to disgrace them Again That they proposed to the Popes consideration that it would be good to make some effectual Reformation in Rome p L. 2. p. 254. And that at Trent in the next Congregation they proposed the Reformation of divers Abuses q P. 256. These things are spoken of the Legats in common Let us now see what he says of each of them apart and first of Marcellus When a great and rich Prelate r This was the Cardinal of Trent in the Congregation went about to shew that they ought only to aim at the Reformation aggravating much the common Deformation of the whole Clergy and inculcating that so long as our Vessels were not cleansed the Holy Ghost would not dwell in them The Cardinal of Holy Cross much commended that Prelate for making mention of a thing so holy and of so good example for beginning from themselves they might easily reform all the rest of the World and he earnestly exhorted all to the practice thereof Å¿ L. 2. p. 144. He tells us also That the Cardinal took incredible pains to make the Decrees viz. of the sixth Session avoiding as much as was possible to insert any things controverted among the Schoolmen and so handling those which could not be omitted as that every one might be contented t P. 215. And truly says he concerning these particulars it is not fit to rob the Cardinal of his due Praise u P. 216. It seems Soave intended this for his Praise And so did he many things which he hath left on Record concerning the Cardinal of Monte. For instance his Discourse about Residence in which the Cardinal says That the World hath complain'd long since of the absence of Prelates and Pastors daily demanding Residence That their absence from their Churches is the cause of all the mischiefs of the Church For the Church may be compared to a Ship the sinking whereof is ascribed to the absent Pilot That Heresies Ignorance and Dissolution do reign in the People and bad Manners and Vices in the Clergy because that Pastors being absent from the Flock no Man hath care to instruct those or correct these c. w L. 2. p. 191. When his Master the Pope order'd the Legats to find out matters to delay the Session Monte who was of an ingenuous Disposition thought it would be hard and could not promise to be constant in so long a Dissimulation x P. 204. This may perhaps pass for a Defamation with Pallavicino the Jesuits being so excellent at the art of dissembling He elsewhere tells us That Monte was peremptory against the Abuse of selling the Sacraments y P. 247. And his Zeal Courage and undaunted Resolution upon all occasions in asserting and maintaining the Pope's Power and Greatness z P. 260 261 266 268 279 281. one who hath read Pallavicino's new Gospel would not think the Cardinal should reckon it a Disparagement to him Let us now see how Soave defames Cardinal Pool He says That he was of the Blood Royal That the Dependents of the Farnesi for his good Disposition were content to elect him Pope to succeed Paul III. That he was of exemplary life That he was acceptable to the Nobility of England for his Wisdom and Sanctity a P. 298 384 405. That many in England were scandaliz'd and alien'd from the Pope for depriving him of his Legation And if this be to dispraise what is it to commend a Man But let it be that in the Jesuits reckoning good Disposition and exemplary Life are no matters of just Commendation The Presidents of the Council under Julius III. were Marcellus Crescentius Cardinal of S. Marcellus Sebastianus Pighinus

For what he saith says he of the Authority of Austin is a manifest lye and 't is certain that the Historian after his wonted manner belyes Pope Innocent (u) Caeterum quod dicit de authoritate Augustini est apertum mendacium Et debuisset Historicus non loqui perperam sed referre loca atque ejus verba Oppositum enim ex eodem Augustino asserit S. Thomas 3. P. q. 73. art 3. referens verba ejusdem ad Bonifacium contra Pelagianos quae talia sunt Nec illud cogitetis parvulos vitam habere non posse qui sunt expertes corporis sanguinis Christi Et ibidem qu. 50. Artic. 7. refert eundem Augustinum asserentem parvulos ante usum rationis communicandos non esse De Innocentio Papa certum est Historicum mentiri more solito Sect. 5. Art 9. p. 208. A manifest lye These two things he says of S. Austin First that he does affirm the necessity of the Eucharist for Children Secondly That he does alledge for it Pope Innocent Both which will presently appear to be most manifest Truths As to the first no Man that hath look'd into the writings of S. Austin against the Pelagians can be ignorant that he frequently and with zeal asserts this if the words Parvuli and Infantes signifie Children But because the Jesuit says that the Historian ought to have quoted the Places and the words though it will be too tedious to transcribe the words they are so many yet I will refer the Reader to at least nine places in which he may find such words as manifestly prove this (w) Epist 106. Epist 107. De Peccator Merit Remiss L. 1. c. 20. cap. 24. Contra duas Epist Pelag. l. 1. c. 22. l. 2. c. 4. l. 4. c. 4. Contra Julian l. 1. Col. 943. Col. 949. l. 3. c. 1. Col 991. Contra Pelag. Hypognost l. 5. And divers of these places particularly de Peccator Merit Remis l. 1. c. 20. c. 24. do make the Eucharist as necessary to Children as Baptism And which is observable S. Austin makes the drinking of the Blood of Christ no less necessary to Infants than the eating of his Flesh which is a manifest proof that in his days the Cup was thought necessary for the Laity 'T is true that Aquinas in the place quoted by Henry asserts the contrary Doctrine out of S. Austin But nothing can be truer than that Aquinas either ignorantly or wilfully abuses the Father by perverting first his words in changing cogitatis into cogitetis for so it is in Aquinas and then wresting them to a sense directly contrary to S. Austin's meaning for those very words are used by him to prove that little Children cannot be sav'd without receiving the Body and Blood of Christ as will be evident to any Man who will be at the pains to consult the context What he says S. Thomas quotes out of S. Austin to the same purpose qu. 50. Art 7. is certainly false because there is no 7th Art under that Question And as manifest it is That S. Austin alledges Pope Innocent for this Doctrine which is the other thing Father Paul says of him For behold saith he Pope Innocent of Blessed Memory says That little Children have not Life without the Baptism of Christ and without partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ (x) Ecce beatae memoriae Innocentius Papa sine Baptismo Christi sine participatione corporis sanguinis Christi vitam non habere parvulos dicit Contr. duas Epist Pelag. l. 2. c. 4. And see says he to Julian what thou canst answer to S. Innocent who hath determin'd that little Children can no way have life unless they eat the Flesh of the Son y Sancto Innocentio vide quid respondeas qui nihil aliud de hac re sapit c. Qui denique parvulos definivit nisi manducaverint carnem filli vitam prorsus habere non posse Contra Julian Pelag. l. 1. col 943. to 7. Edit Bas I think by this time what the Jesuit calls a manifest Lye doth appear to be a Truth as manifest as Day But 't is certain says he that he belyes Pope Innocent All that he says concerning Innocent is That his Epistle yet remains in which he plainly says this If then it be certain that Father Paul belyes him it must also be certain That when he wrote this there was no such Epistle of Pope Innocent's in being And yet it is certain that this Epistle remains still and any one that lists may see it among S. Austin's Epistles viz. Epist 93. and in Binius z Concil Tom. 1. p. 768 769. His words are these That which your Brotherhood asserts they Preach viz. the Pelagians that little Children may attain the Rewards of Eternal Life without the Grace of Baptism is very absurd for unless they eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood they shall not have Life a Illud vero quod eos vestra fraternitas asserit praedicare parvulos aeternae vitae praemiis etiam sine Baptismatis gratia posse-donari perfatuum est Nisi enim manducaverint carnem filii hominis biberint sanguinem ejus non habebunt vitam in semetipsis Binius upon these words Nisi manducaverint c. says That some Men of good Learning have thought that Innocent understood this place of S. John not of the Eucharist but of Baptism But they were deceived says he in that they did not apprehend the force of the Argument which the Pope uses For he proves the necessity of Baptism for Children because the Eucharist is necessary of which they are not capable with ut Baptism And upon these words Illud vero c. his Note is Hence it is manifest that in the judgment of Innocent I. the Eucharist is necessary even for Infants b Hinc constat Innocentii I. sententia quae sexcentos circiter annos viguit in Ecclesia quamque S. Augustinus sectatus est Eucharistiam etiam Infantibus necessariam esse Concil Tom. 1. p. 769. In short what the Historian here affirms is so far from a certain and manifest Lye That Binius and Maldonate expresly affirm the same both of Innocent and S. Austin And not only so but that this Opinion prevailed in the Church for about 600 Years c Missam facio Augustini Innocentii I. sententiam quae sexcenros circiter annos viguit in Ecclesia Eucharistiam etiam Infantibus necessariam esse Maldonat 6. cap. Joh. v. 53. The manifest consequence of which is That since the Council of Trent hath denounced an Anathema against all those who say the Communion of the Eucharist is necessary for Children d Sess 21. Can. 4. It is certain That either Pope Innocent I S. Austin and other the most eminent Fathers for 600 Years were Hereticks or Pope Pius IV. and the Council of Trent have erred If
