A94135	The Jesuite the chiefe, if not the onely state-heretique in the world. Or, The Venetian quarrell. Digested into a dialogue. / By Tho: Swadlin, D.D.	Swadlin, Thomas, 1600-1670.	1646 (1646)	Wing S6218; Thomason E363_8; ESTC R201230	173,078	216

of this our third Proposition some go about all they can to put out our eyes with Pope Alexander VI. who divided the Indies between the Kings of Spain and Portugall because he was the naturall Prince Temporall thereof as the Vicar of Christ and with Leo III. who frankly by their saying made a free deed of guift of the Western Empire to Charles the Great for the same reason that is because Leo was Christs own Vicar These Authors are very far out of the right path For Alexander not as Lord Patron and Pr●prietarie of the Indies but as a compromissary Judge chosen by the said Kings to asswage utterly to quench the flames of their discord by his holy sentence umpiered and awarded the Seas to be divided whereby the Navy of the one might make Navigation by one of the said Seas and that of the other might Navigate by the other He likewise determined that what acquist soever they made Iure belli by right of War should remain for ever to the Acquistor and Conqueror according to the tenor true intent and meaning of his Division as it is recorded by Historians of that age It is true that Leo III. hunted by the people of Rome out of his Papall Seate like a Fox unkennel'd and bolted out of his Earth was reinstalled therein by CHARLES the Great Whereupon Leo wrought and procured the People to proclaime and salute CHARLES Emperour of the West as Platina hath related Which act sometimes the Historians ascribe to the Romane people who finding the Empire not gloriously governed by the Greekes elected another Emperour more antiquo Sometimes they say that Charles having once seized the state bought and purchased the title thereunto of Irene and Nicephorus the Greeke Emperour Sometimes that Irene and Nicephorus were well pleased and contented to give way unto such division of the Greek Empire In briefe be that matter as it may most certaine it is the Pope who had beene chased out of his Papall Seate and had no possession at all neither did give nor could give the possession of the Western Empire unto King Charles who had already griped it in his Princely talans and was now become Lord thereof Iure belli by right of Warre Besides it is not yet certaine and cleere but in some question whether Leo absolutely gave Charles the title to the Westerne Empire or no But as well in this case as in some other which may be alledged against our Proposition it is to be answered That for so much as the Pope never had any Authoritie from Christ in Temporals as we have already shewed and intend cleerly to demonstrate in the next Proposition If the Pope at anie time hath exercised the said Authoritie either he used that practise with consent of parties interessed or else because he is armed with some Temporall power by one of the foresaid foure waies and thereby neverthelesse it is not proved that ever the Pope had any Authoritie directly in Temporals from Christ our Saviour Besides many acts are done by some whereof in case a man should aske by what right such acts are passed it would prove no easie taske to find out such right Hetrodox I can hold my tongue yea hardly my hands no longer As the Proposition it selfe makes nothing to the present purpose no more doe the Arguments Pro and Con you say that Alexander VI. divided the Sea betweene the Kings of Spaine and Portugall and that he determined whatsoever they wonne by Right of Warre ●b Quaest in lib. Iosua qu. 10. should be their owne Here if by Right of Warre you understand a just Warre which alwaies presupposeth some injurie received by those against whom the Warre is moved as luculently St. Augustine declares then you say verie well But if your meaning be that warre may be moved against the Infidels of the Indies when they offer no manner of hurt or wrong to Christian● and onely to make a Conquest of their Countries your judgement is erroneous and you strive against the streame of the best Divines as Cardinall Cajetanus Cajet in Com. in 2. 2. 9. 66. art 8. Sotus 5. de Iust Iur. q. 3. Art 5. Vincentius c. For they and manie more are of this opinion that Infidels of the Indies are the true Lords of their own Countries For by the Doctrine of Thomas Fides Gratia non destruunt Naturam Faith and Grace destroy not Nature and therefore they never deprive any People or Nation of that which they had before they received ●he Faith neither is it lawfull to goe and make a Conquest of Provinces as men goe forth to hunt Wilde Beasts void of humane reason And this moved Sotus to affirme that Pope Alexander VI. did not give the Indies to the Kings of Castile and Portugall but onely granted that whereas Preachers were to travaile into those new-found Lands and Countries the two Kings might send Souldiers in Armes to defend as well the Preachers as also the new Christians To this I subjoyne that Pope Alexander as the head of all Christians seeing the danger of Warre like to ensue betweene these two Christian Princes for free trade and Traffique into the Indies was pleased to determine the King of Castile should have the honour of Navigation to the West-Indies and the King of Portugall to the East you touch a little after Orthodox the Translation of the Empire made by Leo III. and knowing full well the controversie of this matter between Matthias Illyricus a Lutherane Heretique and Cardinall Bellarmine it seemes good in your eyes as men alwaies tie themselves and adhere to the worse part whether of things or persons to follow the steps of the Heretique in his erroneous opinion And thereupon you presume to affirme that Charles the great obtained the Empire by guift of the Romane people or bought a Title thereunto of Irene and Nicephorus Emperours or else that Irene and Nicephorus were well contented with such parting of stakes and sharing in the Empire and to be short you say it is most certaine the Pope gave not the Empire to Charles the Great and yet you know Cardinall Bellarmine proves by the Authoritie of 33. Historians of ten Emperors of all the Imperiall Electors of seven Popes and by evident reasons besides after he hath well sifted and scanned all the Titles that belong to the Acquist of an Empire that Charles the Great was invested and inthronised in the Empire by Pope Leo III. the Bishop of Bishops So that your opinion which makes you seem but a new Divine according in unison with Illyricus may well be termed an Historicall Heresie or an Heresie in Historie and a Temeritie in Divinitie because it gives a soare Counter-b●ffe to all Historians Cap. Venerabilem de Elect. and Sacred Canons To pretermit all other places these be the words of Pope Innocentius III.
