Henry though he did not publish it till 1538. wherein he asserts his Authority over Kings to plant and destroy as he sees good and then proceeds with the Advice of his Cardinals to summon the King and all his Adherents to appear before him at Rome on a day appointed threatening them with the greater Excommunication in case of Non-appearance and declaring Him and his Posterity incapable of any Honours Possessions or even of being Witnesses absolves all his Subjects from their Oaths of Fidelity and commands them upon pain of Excommunication not to obey him or his Officers enjoyning all Christians to have no Commerce with him all Ecclesiasticks to leave the Land and all Dukes Marquesses c. under the same penalty to drive him out of his

in this the Pope published a Jubilee granting Indulgence to all but those of Interdicted places this he expected would make the People murmur but he was deceived in that point too so that he declared in a full Consistory that he would have War with the State of Venice and called the Spaniards to his aid but finding the Senate resolute in Defence of their Rights he was glad to recall his Bull and make a Peace with them and though he earnestly pressed for the Restauration of the Jesuites yet he could not obtain it About this time the Oath of Allegiance being established by Law the Romanists sent to Rome to know what they should doe in this Case where it was consulted by seven or eight of their learnedest Divines who all agreed that the Pope's Power of chastizing Princes is a Point of Faith and consequently cannot be denied without denying of the Faith and the Pope told Father Parsons and Fitzherbert he could not hold those for Catholicks who took the Oath which he soon after declared by his Breve addressed to the Romanists of England Septemb 22. 1606. wherein he affirms That they cannot without most evident and grievous wronging of God's Honour bind themselves by the Oath seeing it contains many things contrary to Faith and Salvation But when some Romanists who had taken it began to question the Breve willing to think it was obtained from his Holiness by surreption he sent † another to undeceive them wherein he blames them for entertaining such thoughts and assures them That it was written upon mature deliberation and therefore they are bound fully to observe it rejecting all interpretation to the contrary upon which several who were willing before refused it some of whom were imprisoned It is an hard thing for men accustomed to doe evil to learn to doe well which Truth Tyr-Oen is a great Example of for notwithstanding after his frequent Rebellions he was pardoned by King James and received into favour yet returning into Ireland he began new Contrivances and fearing he was discovered fled this year into Flanders which caused the King to publish a severe Proclamation against him from thence he went to Rome where he was maintained at the Pope's charge till his death This same Year Parsons published his Treatise tending to Mitigation wherein he labours to take off the imputation of rebellious Principles from the Romanists and yet he tells us in the same Book That this is Catholick Doctrine that in publick Perils of the Church and Common-Wealth Christ our Saviour hath not left us wholly remediless but besides the natural Right which each Kingdom hath to defend themselves in certain cases he left also supreme Power in his High Priest and immediate Substitute to direct and moderate that Power and to add also of his own when extraordinary Need requireth though with great deliberation Where we have a plain justification of the Pope and People's Power to depose and resist their Princes a most excellent Argument to clear the Papists of Disloyalty Though we find no Plots discovered this year in England yet in Transilvania the Jesuites were employed in poisoning Stephen Potscay the Prince And in France Father Cotton recommended a Spaniard to the King who had not been in the Court many hours when the King had Intelligence of his coming from Barcellona purposely to poison him upon this he sent for Father Coton who desired his Majesty not to give any Credit to the advice and when the King ordered him to produce the Spaniard he pretended to seek him but at his return told his Majesty that he was escaped and he could not find him This year the Pope sent another Breve into England directed to the Arch-Priest forbidding him to take the Oath and commanding him to deprive all Priests of their Faculties who took it except they immediately renounc'd it prohibiting likewise the resort of any to the Protestant Churches At the same time Divines of Italy Germany and France wrote against it all grounding their Exceptions upon this that it takes away the Pope's Power of Deposing Kings So rebellious had the Writings and Practices of the Jesuites been that the Bohemians petition'd the Emperour against them and the Valesian Magistrates refused to admit them because wherever they came they distrurbed the publick Peace and were under such a tie of blind Obedience that if their Superiour enjoin'd them a treasonable Attempt they must obey They had made it their Business for some time to endeavour to get footing in Transilvania but when all their Importunity could not prevail they engaged several of the Nobility in a Design against the Prince's Life which proceeded so far that one of the Conspiratours attempted to run him through but was prevented and several of his Companions taken the rest escaped And now King Henry the Great of France having amassed a very considerable Treasure prepared for some great Design which the Romanists grew so jealous of that they secretly caused several to subscribe their Obedience to the Pope in a Book which was kept on purpose it was half written through and some names subscribed in bloud several Designs were formed against his Life four Piedmontiers a Lorrainer and three others conspired his Death advice was given of several other Plots from many other places and Reports were spread in foreign parts that he was killed Father Hardy in his Sermon at St. Severius in Paris reflecting upon the King's Treasure said That Kings heaped up Treasures to make themselves feared but there needed but a blow to kill a King. All these were but Fore-runners of that horrid Murther which was committed in a few Weeks after by Ravilliac once a Monk who stabbed him to the Heart with a poisoned Knife as he was going to the Arsenal in his Coach so that he expired in an instant upon his Examination he confes●ed that he resolved to murther the King who he supposed had a Design to make War upon the Pope because making War against his Holiness is the same as to make War against God seeing the Pope was God and God was the Pope and that he had revealed his Design to the Jesuite d' Aubigny in Confession and shewed him the Knife and that he had heard several of that Order maintain the Lawfulness of it in their Sermons No sooner was the King dead but the Jesuites desired leave to teach Schools in their Colleges which acquest the Parliament took into consideration and required that they should first declare That it is unlawfull for any Person to conspire the death of the King that no Ecclesiastick hath any Power over the Temporal Rights of Princes and that all are to render the same Obedience to their Governours which Christ gave to Caesar. These Positions were proposed to them to subscribe but they refused to doe it without

guilty Consciences of those Gentlemen that the World hath not been long since more fully satisfied as to every particular for Dr. Du Moulin in the first Edition of his Book Ann. 1662. had challenged them to call him to an Account for affirming that the Rebellion was raised and promoted and the King murthered by the Arts of the Court of Rome the Book came to a fourth Edition in all which he renewed the Challenge and in the last in these words I have defied them now seventeen years to call me in question before our Judges and so I do still affirming that certain Evidence of what he asserted should be produced whenever Authority shall require it I remember once a Jesuite attempted to prove the truth of the Nag's-Head Ordination because that Charge had been laid to our Church some years before any offered to confute it or to produce the Lambeth Record which he affirmed was an evident sign that the thing was true or else having such means to confute it they would not have been so long silent what then may we think of those Gentlemen who had so heavy a crime charged on them and yet for near twenty years together never called the Accuser to account The Doctour always refused to produce his Evidences till required by Authority only he gives us this Account That the Papers of Resolution in favour of the Murther when it was found to be generally detested were by the Pope's Order gathered up and burnt but a Roman Catholick in Paris refused to deliver one in his possession but shewed it to a Protestant Friend and related to him the whole carriage of the Negotiation And I am sure if the Protestants had been under such an Imputation the Papists would make good use of their silence to prove their Guilt But farther to shew their aversion to the Royal party no sooner had the Rebels of Ireland in consideration of the straits they were in made a cessation for some time with the Lord Inchequin but the Nuncio excommunicated all who observed it and upon the conclusion of a second Peace with the Duke of Ormond His Majesty's Lieutenant the Assembly of the Bishops and Clergy at James-Town renounced it and as much as in them lay restored the former confederacy anew but of this we shall have a farther account in its due place In the mean while Reilly Vicar General to the A. B. of Dublin betrayed the Royal Camp of Rathmines to Coll. Jones Governour of Dublin for the Parliament which service he afterwards pleaded for himself to the safety of his Life which was in danger for his cruel Actions in the Rebellion and he well deserved more than bare safety from those men that defeat being the total ruine of His Majesty's Affairs in Ireland At the same time the Rebels in France encreased both in Insolence and Power daily the Coadjutour of Paris going to St. Germains in obedience to the Queens Commands was tumultuously stopt by the People who hindered the Nobility from following the King and broke their Coaches the Parliament forbad all places to receive any Garisons from the King listed men and resolved upon a War the Duke D'Elbease Duke of Lonqueirlle Prince Marsil liack afterwards D. of Rochfecault the Prince of Conty and many other persons of the greatest Quality joining with them Soon after Normandy and Poictou declared for the Parisians who sent Deputies to call in the Spaniards to assist them but these Troubles being in a little time appeased new ones began in Provence and Guienne the Parliaments of those Provinces prosecuting the War with great fury declared they would have no pardon from the King and one Gage a Priest endeavoured to persuade them to take the Sovereign Power on themselves which they declined but to maintain the War they treated with the Spaniards for Assistance both of Men and Moneys This Year the Prince of Conde joined himself to the Troudeurs which was the usual Nickname of the discontented Party but finding that they intended the advancement of Chasteau Neuf his mortal Enemy he left them in disgust however the Parisians made several Insurrections and upon the Imprisonment of that Prince an open Rebellion broke out in Berry whose Example was followed by Normandy and Burgundy to support which the Spaniards agreed to contribute 2000 Foot and 3000 Horse besides great Summes of Money and soon after the Parliament of Bourdeaux declared for the Rebells During these Transactions the Popish Bishops of Ireland met at James-Town published a Declaration against all that should adhere to the D. of Ormond His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant in that Kingdom upon which my Authour makes this remark that if the Archbishops c. in Ireland will take upon them to declare against the King's Authority where His Majesty hath placed it they assume an Authority to themselves that no other Clergy ever pretended to and declare sufficiently to the King how far they are from being Subjects or intend to pay him any Obedience longer than they are governed in such manner and by such Persons as they think fit to be pleased with But not satisfied with refusing Obedience to the King's Commissioner the Confederates agreed that if compounding with the Parliament should be best for the People they should doe it And presently after the Marquess of Clauricard had at their request taken the Government upon him in his Majesty's Name it was proposed in their Assembly that they might send to the Enemy to treat with them upon surrendring all that was left into their hands Thus did they chuse rather to submit to the Parliament than obey the King for they were not forced to that Submission the army of the Enemy having made no progress at that time neither had it been flusht with any new Success As forward was Father Bret to persuade the Gentlemen who had defended the Castle of Jersey for the King to renounce the Royal Family and Kingly Government by taking the Engagement affirming that they were not to acknowledge any Supreme but the prevailing Power All this while the Rebellion in France increased the Parisians took Arms designing to seize the King and the Prince of Conde fortified several places and confederated with the Spaniards whom under the Conduct of the Duke of Nemours he called into France to his Assistance with which he maintained the War all this Year to whom the Duke of Orleance joined himself and with all his Interest increased the Party The next year Mr. Tho. White published his Book of the Grounds of Obedience and Government wherein he asserts That if a Prince governs ill he becomes a Robber and the People may expell him in which case they are not bound by any Promise made to him and that they have no Obligation to endeavour the Restauration of a Prince so dispossessed of his Dominions but rather to hinder it nay though he were wrongfully

Shoals of Priests from several parts beyond Seas and Ireland who for several years before had scarce any and those that were skulking and lying close was in a little time almost over-stocked and Father Walsh who was a kind of a Trimmer among them and to speak truth an honester sort of a man than most of them were and willing to introduce the King's Authority as well as that of the Popes to that End went over with the Duke of Ormond and being countenanced by him summoned an Assembly in Dublin to be held of the most principal of them where what a stir he had and how strangely bigotted those Irish Understandings were to the See of Rome is by himself at large set forth in his loyal Formulary But one thing which himself notes is not unworthy the recital The General among them were so strongly possest with some strange Catastrophe that was to arrive eminently no doubt to their Advantage in the year approaching of Sixty six that they generally expressed themselves so averse from complying with the King in those matters a violent presumption that the firing of London had been for some years in contriving and the mention that is made of a Plot in the April Gazette 65. was put into the Heads by some Rascally Priests of those poor little Rogues that were hangued one of the main things charged upon them being the Firing of the City of London and what influence their Councils had in that Prince's Reign is obnoxious to all considering Men by the breaking the triple League by that close Alliance between France and England for the Extirpation of Protestancy out of Heretical Holland and no doubt had it succeeded out of England also and the reason why it was not effected was the Parliament's and People's Aukwardness to the War but notwithstanding they were so not discouraged but they resolved to go on with their Designs still in England keeping by the means of Coleman and Father le Chaise a constant Correspondence with the Court of France and so strong was their Ascendent with Charles the Second that he publishes a Declaration for Liberty of Conscience by which as Coleman in his Letters says he doubted not the bringing in of their Religion but this so allarmed the Parliament that they were strangely uneasie and restless with him resolving to give him no more Money untill he had recalled it which at last with regret he did This strangely nettled our Roguish Catholicks who by this thought their Game cock sure but being frustrated used him in their Discourses as if he had been a Cobler as pitifull irresolute nothing of Honour his Word no ways to be relied on and not worthy of a Crown and from that day forward plotted his removal to make way as they supposed for a Man of Honour and Resolution and who would not be balked with any thing of a Parliament which at the last as a great many suppose they effectually did And now James the Second ascended the Throne and how the Sceptre by him was swayed needs no long characterising for Father Petre with his Ghostly Associates managed most things under him who with that Priestly Violence so hurried on things that on him at last the Tower of Siloam fell and so weak and ridiculous were their Politicks that they are not worth blurring Paper Now to sum up all it is plain by what precedes That she several Popes and Court of Rome in places where they power had have been most Imperious and domineering and nothing so bloudy base or cruel but by their Priests has acted been not in other Countries only but in this our Nation too for since the twelfth year or thereabouts Queen Elizabeth's Reign Popery we may compare to an Imposthume breeding in the very Trunk of this Political Body and broke in the year forty two into a Civil War discharging only part not all the corrupt matter and since regathering head and filling up about four years ago broke the second time casting forth Filth and Corruption in quantity abounding the Stench thereof offending almost all Men in the Nation but I do not doubt but our State Physicians will use such detersive or cleansing Medicines as well as sanative as shall not effect a Palliative but a real and thorough Cure and that the Countrey may be restored to its sound habit of Body Now therefore as to the ensuing Treatise it was occasioned by that Hero of English Jesuitism Mr. Pulton who being strangely nettled at those stinging Truths contained in the Missionaries Arts challenges the Authour to make good his Assertion in page 76. viz. That the Romanists Treasons owned by their Popes and by their great Men approved of since the Reformation do far outnumber all the Plots and Insurrections that the Papists or Malice itself can lay to the charge of Protestants all which notwithstanding have been wholly condemned by the Body of our famous Divines To satisfie therefore this Savoy Champion and vindicate the Assertion aforesaid the Authour of this Account with no little pains has endeavoured to give entire satisfaction But such has the Misfortune been of Writers Protestant that in dealing in Controversies they have to doe with a sort of Men that when they have yet will seemiugly take no Answer and their last refuge is generally Banter and Whiffle if downright Railing will not doe the feat The Subject of this Treatise is most matter of Fact and the Citations though from their own selves no way unfairly used for if otherwise they appear let them openly be exposed that all that are impartial may see and judge whether any thing of Passion Envy or Malice has Prepossed the Authour I know 't is natural for Men when they have a bad Cause to manage to be froward and testy and where they are galled to kick and wince and instead of arguing closely to the purpose to seek Evasions that may seem plausible at least to the less refined Understanding which has been the great Masterpiece of Romish Priests and Jesuites for many years together for by their little Witticisms and Jokes upon Names they keep up among their Party a kind of Reputation not unlike Jack Pudding's on a Stage they please though at the same time delude the foolish and gazing People and if it happens that one slip falls from a Protestant Pen or a Citation carelesly passed that has not proved true what a Clutter have they not made about it though the main of the Subject still remains good This as a demonstration plainly proves the Weakness of their Cause and had Mr. Pulton but candidly read the History of the last Hundred Years he must have acknowledged that this his great Challenge was a vain and frivolous Motion and never needed to have given the Authour this Trouble which being done it 's hoped will be to his firm conviction and not only his but any other who have been imposed on by false Notions The truth is this Treatise has been
