shewed himself one day in his Priestly Pontisicals with the Cross caried before him the next day in an Emperors Robes with a Sword carried before him and his Title proclaimed ego sum pentifex et imperator terrestre et Caeleste Imperium habeo all this is mine and to whomsoever I will I give it So Pope Adrian the 4th caused the Emperor Fredrick to hold his Stirup and quarrel'd with him for taking the Left instead of the Right but the next Pope Alexander the third trod upon His neck when he stoop'd to kiss his Holinesses Foot using those Words in the 91. Psal Thou shalt tread upon the Lyon and Adder the Young Lyon and Dragon thou shalt trample under foot and when the Emperor replyed Non tibi sed Petro not to thee but to Peter do I this Submission the Pope treading on him again said et mihi Petro both to Me and Peter So Pope Celestine the third Crowned the Emperor Henry the 6th with his Foot and after he had Crowned him cast down the Crown to the ground thereby signifing that he had Power to cast Him down from the Empire if he deserved it which Baronius highly commendeth But his Successor Innocent the 3d exceeded him For he Excommunicated John King of England deposed Him Absolved his Subjects from their Allegiance to Him and did cast an Interdict upon the Kingdom which lasted six years giveing it to Philip of France If he could take it which made his Subjects to despise Him the Clergy to Revile Him the Barrons to rise in War against Him and the French King to fall upon Him and thereby reduced him to such extremity that to purchase his Peace He was glad to give the Kingdom to the Pope and in the end a Monk Poysoned Him It were endless to recite their dealings this way whereby it would appear that a great part of their Religion is but a Mistery of Iniquity a bundle of Pollicy which hath brought and held most Kingdoms and Countryes in Europe within the snare and Bondage of a silly Fryer and that by the pretended Sanctity lying Miracles false Donations forged Writings and the like What Potentate could ever lay the Foundation of Obedience in Conscience or could overcome his Enemy without War by a Parchment Bull or maintain himself and his pomp at all Mens costs and devotions or conquer opposite Princes by their own Subjects or stablish himself by Dispensing with unlawful Marriages or lawful Oaths or maintain so many Intelligences by Consossions or Pleasure all Men in their humours by Wealth Poverty Austerity Volumptuousness What a notable Combination of mischievous devices is there in that Religion where all those things and many more are most eminent and most usual and that they are all in this will easily appear if we consider either their Positions or Disposions their Principles or Practises First their Principles and herein I shall be so just as not to deliver one syllable but what I have from their own Authors So that if any of them herd me I may if possible undeceave them for I have Charity enough to believe many of them Pious and Devout in their own way and if they really understood their own Doctrine as now refin'd by the Friery Witts of late Jesuits and Priests they would soon renownce Communion with them 1. Neighbours of Heriticks meaning thereby Protestants may lawfully be spoyled of their goods though indeed it were better say they to do it by the Authority of the Judge 2 Men are not bound to restore what they have received or to satisfie their Creditors that are tainted with Heresy 3. By the Heresy of the Parent a Child is freed from his Obedience and Symancha gives us this instance If a Priest returning into England finds his Father to be a Protestant he may deny him to be his Father meaning saith he that he is not such a one as he ought to acknowledge for his Father 4. Heriticks may not be termed either Children or Kindred but according to the old Law thy hand must be upon them to spill their Blood 5. It is not Lawful for Christians to Tollerate an Heretical King that is a Protestant they may Expel him Depose him yea Murder him and this they say is agreeable to the Apostolick Doctrine 6. It is Lawful for Catholick Princes to make League with Protestants only for their own advantage as for Example to dispatch some business which hinders them from falling on Protestants with all their Forces By these and the like Positions which they maintain we plainly see how they disolve all Bands of humane Fellowship and strangle the very Vitalls of all Society But amongst many many more there is one yet remaining the most pestilential of all to wit that no Faith is to be kept with Hereticks and that all Protestants are Hereticks being condemned by the Pope and Council of Trent as such and so are fallen from the Faith and forfeit all priviledges where keeping of Faith with them might stead them or oblige others I confess indeed I have seen a little Book written by one of them who denieth this assirming that Papists esteem themselves Obliged to keep Faith even with Insidels but this is an ordinary Stratagem of theirs to profess to abhor Jesuitical Tenets to lull us asleep to get their Wickedness acted with less Suspition Amongst many Instances that might be given I shall give one in Queen Elizabeths time so soon as the Pope perceived that She intended in earnest to shake off the Romish Yoke and that all his slattery and smooth dealing could not reduce Her to his Obedience She refusing to permit his Nuncio to enter Her Kingdom he falls to his old courses and in the Year 1569 Pope Pius the 5th Excomunicates Her Absolving all her Subjects from their Obedience Cursing all that should any longer submit to Her giving Her Kingdom to his Catholick Majesty the King of Spain and sends over his Bull against into England which some Seminary Priests there admired and Extolled and Blasphemously asserted that it was Indited by the Holy Ghost yet presently after they set out a Book on purpose to lull the Queen and State asleep and to admonish the Papists of England not to practise any mischief upon the Queen because Catholicks might use no other Arms but Prayers Tears Watching and Fastings against their Adversaries And yet in the mean time these very Men never rested Plotting one Treason after another and Watson with other Priests who writ against this Book were the desperate Propounders and Ringleaders of that Treason against King James and Prince Henry at his first coming into England for which he with Clarke suffered the reward of Traytors So that they are not to be believed for they will say any thing maintaine any Assertion that may tend to the advancement of their Cause But for your farther satisfaction to prove the truth of this and shew you that their practice is sutable to this principle let
