ratio non consentit quae homo inuitus patitur sunt prohibita praecepto Non concupisces Wicked lusts whereunto reason giues no consent and such as man falls into against his will are forbidden by the commandement Thou shalt not couet Definitiua haec sententia Deum homini nihil impossibile praecepisse falso tribuitur Augustino cum Pelagij sit This definitiue sentence viz. God commanded no man any impossible thing is falsly fathered on S. Austin for it was Pelagius not S. Austin Nemo praeter Christum est absque originali peccato hinc beata Virgo mortua est propter peccatum ex Adam contractum omnesque eius afflictiones in hac vita sicut aliorum iustorum fuerunt vltiones peccati actualis vel originalis No person besides Christ is exempt from originall sinne the virgin Mary died by reason of originall sinne and all the afflictions which she suffred in this life befel her as then befell to other good men viz. as punishments either of actuall or originall sinne Satisfactiones laboriosae iustificatorum non valent expiare de condigno poenam temporalem restantem post culpam condonatam The painfull satisfactorie workes of such as are iustified doe not condignely satisfie for the temporal punishment remaining after the fault pardoned Did not I say Michael Baius your Deane of Lonaine teach these doctrines and aboue 70 more much like vnto these all which are condemned by Pius 5. and Gregory 13. as partly hereticall partly erroneous partly suspitious partly temerarious partly scandalous partly offensiue And are you not ashamed to brag of your vnitie Me thinks your vnitie is like that of the Madianites who thrust euerie man his sword into the side of his fellow 11 You brag much of the commendation that S. Paul gaue vnto the Church of Rome in his Epistle to the Romanes and say It is much to be noted And is it not as much to be noted what commendations God by his Prophets gaue vnto Ierusalem the mother of all other Churches Is it not as much to be noted how God by his Prophets affirmed that he chose Ierusalem that his Name might be there and that for euer How God by his Prophets affirmed that he meant to dwell there for euer because he had a delight therein His eyes and his heart should be on Ierusalem perpetually Ierusalem should be called a city of truth and the mountaine of the Lord of hoasts the holy mountaine Do not these commendations surpasse those which are giuen by Paul vnto the Church of Rome in his Epistle to the Romanes And if the Iewes now haue no occasion to bragge of the commendation giuen to the Church of Ierusalem of olde why should you stand so much vpon it that S. Paul in his time gaue commendation to the Church of Rome in his time May it not be that as Ierusalem of a faithfull Citie became a harlot so Rome since S. Pauls time of a virgin is become a strumpet Many virgin Churches lost their virginitie soone as you may see by Egesippus words recorded in Eusebius Againe was not the Church of Corinth as much commended if not more by S. Paul in his Epistle written to the Corinthians as the Church of Rome in his Epistle to the Romanes The Apostle writes of the Corinthians that they were rich in Christ in all kind of speech and in all knowledge that they were not destitute of any gift affirming further that our Lord Iesus Christ will confirme them to the end Which he writ not of the Romanes Of the Romanes continuing in that fame and renown of faith for which he commends them he speakes nothing and yet the Church of Corinth hath lost her maidenhead and why not Rome If the naturall branches the Iew notwithstanding all their promises and the branches of the same Oliue plant with the Romanes I meane the Corinthians notwithstanding all the commendations which S. Paul gaue them be cut off be deceiued what reason haue you who hold of Rome to please your selues with conceits of I know not what drie Summers because Saint Paul commended your predecessors 12 You brag that the faith which you professe at this day is the same with that which the Apostle commended in the Romanes in his dayes and yet though the Apostle in his Epistle to the Romanes wherein he commends the Rom. faith comprehends all kind of doctrines and handles them very fully and exactly as Theodoret witnesseth and the Rhemists confesse he speakes nothing therein of the Popes Monarchie of his power to iudge and determine all â—auses of faith of his calling of Councels of his Presidentship in Councels of his right to ratifie their decrees to decide causes brought him by Appeales from all the coasts of the world of censuring Kings by deposing them on their kingdomes by interdicting them he saith nothing herein of his right to bind Bishops Metropolitans and Patriarkes with an oath to be his faithfull subiects to giue Church-liuings and Offices to whom he list to breake the bands of all Councels with dispensations He saith nothing of the Masse of the real presence of Transubstantiation He saith nothing of the vowes of pouertie of obedience and chastitie He saith nothing of Images of the Crosse of Pilgrimages of Iubiles of pardons of Purgaroriâ—s of praying to the dead or for the dead He saith nothing I say no not a word not so much as in shew for the proofe of these or any such doctrines as these whereon ye stand most in these dayes but on the contrary in many places he speakes directly against many of your now-doctrines against many of your present positions As for example whereas you both in bookes and windowes paint God the Father in the likenesse of an old man and defend it as lawfull The Apostle in his Epistle to the Romanes teacheth that it is vnlawfull calling them fooles who turned the glorie of the incorruptible God into y e similitude of the image of a corruptible maÌ„ Secondly whereas you teach that religious worship is due to creatures to Angels to men to Images to Crucifixes c. The Apostle in this Epistle shewes how grieuously they were punished by God who worshipped and serued the creature forsaking the Creator implying therein that it is not lawfull to giue religious worship vnto creatures Thirdly whereas you maintain that the doctrine of faith onely iustifying is an old heresie the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth it for a Catholicke doctrine for we conclude saith he that a man is iustified by faith without the workes of the law which is all one as to say a man is iustified by faith onely Fourthly whereas you teach that the virgin Mary was free from originall sinne the Apostle in this Epistle writes that in Adam all men and by consequent the virgin Mary sinned what exception haue we but Christ Fiftly whereas
his wife after he followed Christ The consequence of which Argument is proued thus Petronilla in the 98 yeare of Christ could not be so faire and beautifull that a man of honour and worth could dote on her vnlesse she was begotten by her father of his wife after his Apostleship For in that yeare viz. 98. if she had bene begotten by her father before his Apostleship she had bene 68. yeares old past fairenesse past beautie Ergo Saint Peter had a daughter called Petronilla begotten of his wife after he followed Christ Answer Priest and denie not the Legends of thy Church and I will burne all my bookes but my Bible 5 You all affirme That if the studious Reader peruse all antiquitie he shall finde all notable Bishops and Priests of Gods Church to haue bene single or continent from their wiues if any were maried before they came to the Clergie And we denie it Now thus I argue for vs and against you in this If by antiquitie it appeare that some notable Bishop had two sons by his wife to the elder of which he spake thus a little before his death 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Nondum tot anni sunt tui quot iam in sacris Mihi sunt peracti victimis c. The yeares of thine age are not so many as the yeares of my Priesthood c. Then the studious Reader perusing antiquitie may finde that all notable Bishops liued not continent from their wiues whom they had maried before they came to the Clergie For how could a notable Bishop haue the elder of his two sonnes by his wife of fewer yeares then he had bin in Priesthood vnlesse he begat him and his yonger brother after he was in the Clergie But the Antecedent is true Ergo the consequent That the Antecedent is true is proued by this That in antiquitie we find Gregory Nazianzen and Caesarius were brethren sonnes of one Gregory a notable Bishop by his wife Nonna and that Gregory Nazianzen was the elder to whom his father Gregory said as is abouesaid 6 You haue set vs out at diuers times diuers Indices of forbidden bookes of which I haue seene three One made by the Inquisitors of Rome and printed Anno 1559. by the commandement of Paul 4. Another made by the Deputies of the Councell of Trent and printed Anno 1564. by the commandement of Pius 4. A third enlarged by Sixtus quintus and reuiewed and printed an 1594. by the commandement of Clemens the 8. In the first of these Editions I found forbidden Abdicis de vitis 12. Apost Itinerarium Petri per Clementâ—m Opus imperfectum in Matheum Nicolas Cabasila Almaricus Gulieimus de sancto Amore Iacobus Alman contra Thomam de Vio by whom is meant Cardinall Caietan and Ioh. Casae poemata But I can not find any of them either in the second or third Editions Againe in the first Edition of these Indices I found Desiderius Erasmus Roteradamus placed in the ranke of writers quorum libri scripta omnia prohibentur whose bookes and writings of what argument soeuer Religion or humanitie are absolutely forbidden And I found in the same ranke forbidden Nilus Thessalonicensis Nicolaus Clemangis Beatus Rhenanus and Vearicus Zaesius Yet in the two latter Editions of the Indices I found all these remoued out of the first ranke into the second which are not so seuerely censured as those in the first And in the last of Clemens 8. I found a Catechisme of Charanza Archbishop of Toledo forbidden which was approued by the Deputies of the Councell at Trent vpon perusall and relation made that nothing worthy of censure was found in it Now I desire to know the reason of all this shuffling why Abdias Itinerarum Petri Opus imperfectum Cabasila Almaricus Gulielmus de S. Amere Alman against Caietan and Casae poemata which were forbidden in the first Edition are left out in the later Editions seeing the leauing of them out argues allowance of them And vpon what consideration all Erasmus works were forbidden seeing some of them were approued by the Bull of Leo 10 and why Nilus Clemangis Rhenanus Zasius and Erasmus were remoued out of a worse ranke into a better seeing that argues great diuersitie of iudgement in Popes And by what authoritie Charansaes Catechismes is forbidden which was approued by the Councell of Trent I hope your later Popes will not disanull what the Councell of Trent established and I hope they dare not iustifie the books cried downe by Paulus quartus especially Iohannis Casae poemata which were written in commendation of the sinne of Sodom though the writer was Archbishop of Beneuentum and the Popes Legat throughout the whole estate of Venice nor yet Abdias whose liues of the Apostles fabulis similiores sunt quà m verae narrationi are more like to tales of Robin Hood then to truth in Bellarmines opinion 7 As you haue set vs out diuers Indices of forbidden bookes so you haue set vs out diuers Indices of bookes which stand need of purgations and must be purged before they can be vsed of which I haue seene foure the Belgick published by Iunius the Spanish by Quiroga the Neapolitan by Gregory Capuccinus the Romane by Fr. Ioan. Maria Master of the Popes Pallace In one or two of these purgatory Indices order is taken that these and such like propositions shall be razed out of the Indices and margents of S. Austin S. Ierom S. Hilarie S. Chrysostome and S. Epiphanius viz. Eucharistiam non esse sacri cium sed sacrifi ij memoriam The Eucharist is not a sacrifice but a commemoration of a sacrifice Fides sola iustificat Faith onely iustifies Imaginum vsus prohibitus The vse of Images is forbidden Machabaeorum liber Apocryphus The booke of Machabees is Apocryphall Matrimonium omnibus concessum qui continere non volunt Marâ—age is free for all who will not liue vnmaried Peccata venalia damnant Veniall sinnes are damnable Sanctorum inuocationem praeuenit Iohannes Saint Iohn preuented inuocation of Saints Adorare statuas vel imagiâ—es cultores Dei non debent Religious persons should not adore statues or images Fides sola iustificat Faith onely iustifies Opera non iustificant Workes doe not iustifie Opera si iustificant Christus gratis mortuus est If works iustifie Christ died causlesly Apostoli omnes aequales All the Apostles were equals Opera omnia commixta sunt aliquo errore Our best actions haue some want Oratio pro viuis valet non pro mortuis Prayer profits liuing men not dead men Alienis meritis operibus nemo iuuatur No man is the better for other mens merits and works Meritum hominis nullum Man hath no merits Non ex meritis salus Saluation comes not of merit Apostolorum doctrina facilis
