High Treason to acknowledge this Usurper We must then be perswaded that this Authority which they call Of the Holy Siege is legitimate before that it can be honestly done to sollicite us to submit thereto There hath been a time wherein God had charged himself with the Care of Governing immediately the Common-wealth of the Hebrews by Prophets and inspired Judges whom he sent to them If any during that time had undertaken without a Call to make himself Monarch of that People is it not true that by this attempt the Usurper had made himself guilty less against the Nation whereof he would oppress the Liberty than against God upon whose Rights he had undertaken That People though inclined to Revolt durst not make them a King they ask one of God If that Nation had otherwise used it it is certain it had been Criminal before God as much as may be If we will consider this Reflexion we shall see that Protestants in their Principles must regard as guilty of the highest Enterprize against the Rights of God Him that without Call hath made himself the Head of this Church and it will be granted that without the greatest baseness they cannot submit to that Prince who hath seized upon God's Rights without his permission In fine It is impossible that Protestants should regard as Indifferent or as Tolerable in Christian Religion a Dignity which is absolutely opposite to the Spirit of Christianism This Spirit is Humility Poverty Despising the World Obedience Renouncing all kind of Pomp Grandeur and Vanity After that they would have us to regard as Prince Spiritual of the Christian World a Man that is Crowned with all the Pomp of the Kings of the Earth that makes his Feet to be kissed by the Persons of the greatest Quality that is carried on Mens Shoulders and who carries the Rights of Soveraignty and the Characters of Puissance beyond what was ever imagined But after having considered the Pope is the Theology of Politicians who keep within general Terms why should it not be lawful to us to regard him in an Italian Theology See what it is in this Italian Theology It is a Man that cannot be tied nor untied by a Regular Power who was called God by Constantine Now it is manifest that God cannot be judged by Men. It is a Man whose Faults cannot be admonished on Earth though he should be known to neglect his own Salvation and that of his Brethren useless and relaxed in his Works silencing the Good and leading with himself Crowds of Men to the first slavery of Hell because being setled to judge all the rest He may not be judged of any It is a Man whom none of the Councils lawfully Assembled durst ever judge because he is the Judge of all On the contrary Councils have often cried The first Seat is Judged of none and they say to the Pope Judge your self Justifie or Condem your self It is a Man whereof the Roman Ceremonial saith That as oft as the Emperour seeth him he ought to salute him bare his Head and kneel to him approach his Throne kiss his Feet devoutly hold his Stirrup till he be got up then takes his Horse by the Bridle and leads him some Paces And in whatever Town where the Pope is to be carried in a Chair the Prince of the place though he were a King must carry the Chair some steps with the greatest Lords of the Country It is a Man that can do all what is needful to lead Souls to Paradise and may take away all Obstacles which the World and the Devil with all their Strength and Craft can oppose It is a Man that can suffer the Title of Vice-God as Paul the Fifth in the beginning of this Age. They made Pictures and Dedications with this Inscription Paulo Quinto Vice-Deo c. Most Invincible of the Christian Republick c. It is a Man of whom the Canonists say Restituit Papa solus deponit ipse Dividit ac unit eximit atque probat Articulos solvit Synodumque facit Generalem transfert mutat appellat nullus ab illo That is to say That he alone settles deposes divides unites condemns approves breaks Articles makes Councils transports and changes according to his good pleasure without appeal It is a Man that gives Realms at his Will loosens Subjects from their Oath made to their Prince who is Master of the Temporal of Kings It is a Man who alone possesses the Priviledge of Infallibility and who is the only Oracle of the Church It is a Man that can dispense against Laws Divine and Human and according to the plenitude of his Power dispences above Right and Law dispences against Apostles and their Canons against the Old Testament about Tithes Vows and Oaths It is a Man whom they set upon the Altar when he is Chosen and then to go to Adoration It is a Man that can suffer to be told in a full Council Do so that we may never lose the Spirit Life and Salvation which thou hast given us Thou art the Pastour the Physician the Pilot the Patron Thou art in fine God on Earth It is a Man that likes it well that in the same Council they should apply to him these Words of Psalm 72. Aethiopians shall come c. his Enemies shall lick the dust all Kings shall adore him all Nations shall serve him It is there also where they stiled him The Divine Majesty In fine He is a Man that likes to be called Lord of Lords Most Prudent Most Wise Adored of all Men. If this Power be not lawful why would they have us to submit thereto How could that agree with our Principles These are happily the things which Monsieur de Condom means and whereof he saith That Ministers cease not to relate them to render that Power odious You know well say they that this Italian Theology is slighted They do not Canonize in France the Excess of the Canonists contrarily they are condemned And you cannot be ignorant that the Gallican Church hath still opposed them I grant it if they please Why then would they that I should regard the Pope under the Idea which the Gallican Church forms rather than under that which the Roman Church I always heard say That to know a Subject we must not regard him in the Opinion which certain Persons have of him but in himself in that which he saith of himself and what he doth Now it is certain that the Pope is in himself what the Canonists have made him and that he thinks of himself what the Canonists have said for it is he that hath caused those Canonists to write It is the Canon Law of the Roman Church approved generally by the Court of Rome and according to which they rule their Conduct The Gallican Church may do what they please the Pope doth still keep himself in the possession of Excommunicating Kings dispensing their Subjects to the
