adversaries from condemning all those Fathers for equalling the Bishoppe of Constantinople to him of Rome in ecclesiasticall matters And it is marvelous how these men dare speak of Councels Afterwards in the year 450. they said they had the same priviledges seeing they knowe the day night are not more contrary than the ancient Councels and the new in which the Pope ruleth and ordaineth all but the other bishops give their opinion only with bowing of the head in signe of approbation At the beginning of which they lay down the holy Scripture at the Popes feet in witnes that the Word of God is subject unto him where the Pope is seated on a high Throne having the Emperor sitting at his feet In brief wee may see by the practice of these later Councels and above all by the Councel of Florence and the last of Lateran and by the book of sacred ceremonies that a Councell now within these few Ages is no other than a papal consistory though with more soleminity whereas in the antient Councels the bishop of Rome durst not be present and his deputies ordinarily had no precedencie there nor authority far from ordaining that no book shall be canonicall without the Popes authority and that all Kings should kiss his feet and to declare that there is no other name under Heaven but that of the great Bishop Annal. Baron which are the decrees of the Roman Councell under Gregory the seventh Anno. 1078 the yeare 1076. Briefly it is certain that they which buzze in your eares the Fathers and Councels do it not because the Antients are favourable unto them but because they knowe that the people can knowe nothing of them and that they must needs in those things referre themselves unto them But as for the Scripture which you ought to knowe and which ruleth all the Fathers it is that which is forbidden you In summe yeares are no rules and lying is ever since the beginning of the world The Church is not in a Countrey of custome but where the written truth is There is no prescription against divine truth yea even in the time of the Apostles the mystery of iniquity was a-brewing how far ought it now then to bee advanced And indeed as wel the people as the pastors of the Ro. Church have these many Ages cried out that their Church had need of reformation In the Councell of Pysa held in the yeare 1411 Pope Alexnder the fift in the twentieth Session promised solemnly to intend the reformation of the Church and to assemble for that purpose the most learned of all Nations A while after was held a Councell at Senes the yeare 1423. where the proposition of the reformation of the Church was revived and then put off to another time for they saw they could not stir this stone without shaking the papall seat That which the great ones would not doo God hath performed by the hands of little ones using unhoped for means to expose unto the view of the world the doctrine of salvation maugre al the machinations of Satan Vnto those that have endeavored and do yet endeavour to perfect this work you are thus much beholding as that the holy Scripture which the people saw not heertofore is now translated into the vulgar tongue and that the Spirit of God speakes it so as none can be ignorant of the Word of God but he that hood-winks himself lest hee should see the light You are also thus much more beholding unto them that the Pope doth lesse tyrannize over you than he did some foure or five hundreth yeares since and that your servitude is by a quarter lesse burdensome Such Buls are found in Math. Paris and in the 3. Tome of Councels at the end of the Councell of Lateran vnder Innocent the third For in those daies the Pope gave to the French which armed themselves for him and at his commandement besides the remission of all their sins a degree of glory in Paradise above others whereas now if he should send them to goe into a farre Countrey upon a Croysada to fight against Hereticks or to take-in some Townes of their neighbours to the Popes use as was done not very long since you your selves would mock at his commandement In former times when any King angred him his custome was to interdite his Kingdome and so put as far as in him lay many millions of persons out of the communion of the Church cause all divine service to cease in a large Countrey cause the Bels to bee still hinder Burialls and to expose the Countrey in preie to him could first conquer it England was six years and a half in this estate in the time of King Iohn but now-a-daies he drawes no more that weapon lest bestirring himselfe too hard hee overturne his owne chair which the doctrine of the gospell hath already much shaken You owe them moreover this obligation that you see not as in the time of Boniface the ninth and Leo the tenth Pardoners to run from house to house through France who for half a crown sould every one remission of all their sins and deliverance of a soule out of Purgatory The time hath bin that in France there was no speech but of miracles and of Saint Anthonies fire and of the apparition of damned soules or others returning from Purgatory of which illusions the greater part is vanished at the Sunne-rise of the holy Scriptures which the night of ignorance had hidden And if now they doo any petty miracles it is in secret and never in our sight for before a man that feareth God and knoweth him Satan is as it were afflicted and loseth his fense-play yea even your owne Magistrates have punisht these deceivers There bee but a few amongst you that doo wholly beleeve your owne religion but doo finde some fault in the Romish Church for indeed it would be a hard matter to endure the decrees and glosses which say that a Tit. 8 de Praebend cap.
