Peters Church in this manner An ancient graue matrone named Lady Custome walked on foremost After her with a sober pace and demure countenance followed Worldly Wisedome bearing the Salte Creame and Spittle to baptise the Infant Then came Madame Hypocrisie holding her head somewhat downe as hauing verie speciall care of the Childe And shee carried the water to fit the intended busines Subbornation went next bearing the Towell which was all beset with precious stones and round imbrodered with the fires of Purgatorie which was described in very antique great carracters Then vnder a sumptuous Cannopie came Abuse the Godfather who carried the Childe being attended on by Heresie and Tyrannie twoo hard-fauoured Ladyes and they held vp the corners of the linnen couerture behinde Error an old thicke square goutie Lord so bigge as his legs could scarse supporte his body hee beeing the other Godfather made what haste he could after the rest Dame Auarice and Dame Symonie being the appointed God mothers followed close after in a very sad and serious consultation Then came the Romaine Burgesses named Humaine Traditions with whome walked Idolatry and Blasphemy and they with the rest of the quiere sung very solemnly Now to glad the people the more and in signe also of liberality the Iubilie which had beene sold before at a verie deare rate was proclaimed freely and Bulles and Pardons were now as cheape as strawing hearbes When they came to name the childe striuing to haue it a name of immortall renowne there happened to growe a great difference among them and euery one stroue to please his owne appetite One would haue him to bee named Holy Mother An other thought it more fit to call him Holy Father Hypocrisie would haue him to bee tearmed The supreme Bishop But the Gossips named him The Seruant of Seruants Idolatry said it were better to call him God on earth When the Preist that was to performe the solemnity saw no likelyhoode of any other agreement but the contention still to grow on more and more He concluded to exercise his owne authority and bethinking him on a name that might both fit and answere all their hope He Christened him and named him THE POPE FINIS S.

this Shot and Powder against the Pope by way of Antithesis or comparison in opposition for better distinguishing the right of either part And because in iustice the Apostles doe deserue the cheefe and eminent place wee preferre them to lead the way in euery cause and then the Pope followes with his allegations vprightly and without any partialtie Commend both me and this worke to God in thy praiers and desire his blessing on it for generall benefit From Egypt neere the red Sea this yeere of grace 1608. Attending the yeerre 666. against Babylon Sentences extracted out of the sacred Scriptures which are especially to be noted for more iustly iudging the cause on both parties HE that refuseth mee and receiueth not my wordes hath one that iudgeth him the word the I haue spoken it shall iudge him in the last day Though that wee or an Angel from heauen preache vnto you otherwise then that which we haue preached vnto you let him be accursed Receiue with meekenesse the word that is grafted in you which is able to saue your soules Striue not about wordes which is to no profit but to the peruerting of the hearers Stay also prophane and vaine babling Put away foolish and vnlearned questions knowing that they ingender strifes You shall put nothing vnto the word which I haue commanded you neither shall you take ought there from You shall not do after all these things that we do heare this day that is euery man whatsoeuer seemeth him good in his owne eyes Whatsoeuer I command you take heed you do it thou shalt put nothing thereto nor take ought therefrom The Prophet that shall presume to speake a word in my name which I haue not commanded him to speake or that speaketh in the name of other Gods euen the same Prophet shall die Walke not in the ordinances of your Fathers neither obserue their manners nor defile your selues with their Idols I am the Lord your God walke in my statutes and keepe my iudgements and doe them There is a way that seemeth right to man but the issues thereof are the wayes of death The way of a foole is right in his owne eyes but hee that heareth councell is wise Other notable and important Sentences collected out of the holy doctours and auncient Fathers of the Church which doe both admonish and instruct all men of sound iudgement and vnderstanding how to censure in the cause betweene these parties as also which of them ought to be embraced and defended as the infallible best and most certaine testimonie before God Saint Hierome vpon the Prophet Micheas Chap. 7. Tom. 6. CHrist is the head of all men and Christ is head of the Church They that are reputed to be in his house that is to say in the Church fall out often times to be his enemies And though they part not from the head yet they will speake ill of their head because both without the Master and without the Lords grace they dare promise in their owne iudgement knowledge of the Scriptures Whereas indeed they are but only puft vp vnderstanding nothing but doe languish about questions contentions and strifes of words who if they bee truely in the house are yet meere enemies to truth and the house S. Cyprian ad Magnum Lib. 1. Epist 6. THis ought to be admired yea and greiued at with an holy indignation that Christans should giue assistance to Antichrists and that preuaricatours and betrayers of the Church should hold firme abiding in the Church against the Church S. Chrysostome vpon S. Matth. Chap. 24 Hom. 49. ALl heresies are the army or band of Antichrist especially those that get place in the Church and presumeth to be in the holy place where it would seeme to bee held in reckoning as if it were the word of truth But it is the abhomination of desolation euen the battalion of Antichrist which hath yeelded vp the soules of many men very desolate of God S. Hierome agaiust Pelagius VVIse Phylosophers Patriarckes of Heretiques haue polluted the puritie of the Church by peruerse doctrine S. Chrysostome in his imperfect worke on S. Matth. Cap. 23. IT is a matter behoouefull that the people should goe to all Doctors and teachers and enquire of them where pure truth is to be had and where it is corrupted For it is not prohibited to know that which all men do confesse and to elect the best And the Apostle saith Try all things and keepe that which is good S. Hierome his Prediction accomplished in our time as it is written in his sixt Tome on the Prophecie of Nahum Chap. 3. vpon these words O King of Assur thy shepheards do sleepe AT the comming of Iesus Christ and of the word of God and in the comming of Niniuies consummation heeretofore the faire strompet the people shall arise and walke that before had slept vnder their Masters And they shall goe to the Mountaines of the Scriptures and there they shall finde the hilles to wit Moses and Iosua the sonne of Nun. The hilles which are the Prophets the mountaines of the new Testament namely the Apostles and the Euangelists And when they shall bee fled to such hilles and haue conuersed in reading with such maner of hilles there will bee found none to teach for the haruest truely is great and the labourers very few in number then shall their studie bee praysed because they fled vnto the hilles And the sloth and ignorance of the other Masters shall be repooued The same S. Hierome on the 86. Psal Tome 8. ALthough any one should be holy after the Apostles albeit he should be learned yet hath he no authoritie because that the Lord is declared in the Scriptures of the people and of Princes that haue been and not by that which is in themselues The same vpon Ieremie Chap. 6. Tome 9 THe errour of our Fore-fathers nor of the greatest is to bee followed but the authoritie of the Scriptures ought to be followed and the commandements of God which only do instruct The same on the Prophet Micheas Chap. 6.

Cuncta nemo aliorum facta Hereby may be obserued that most falsly he attributeth to himselfe the title of Gods Lieutenant and yet dooth notwithstanding vsurpe his whole authoritie yea euen aboue God in that he countermandeth what God commaundeth and commaundeth what God forbiddeth His Ensignes or Colours doe describe both himselfe and his whole armie euen like vnto Nabuchodonosor who after hee had made and erected his Idols commaunded that euerie one should do honour to them vpon paine to be throwne into the fierie furnace as were Sidrach Misach Abednago Dan. 3. 21. Now albeit that all the Popes stratagems wherewith he hath hitherto deceiued the world have beene discouered euen as Daniel reuealed that of the Idoll Bels Priests whereby they kept the deluded people in their Idolatrie yet neuerthelesse he supporteth his adoration of Images by executing his cruellrage against them that refuse to worship them When the Popes ordinances are receiued of men and allowed to be good it is not to be doubted but that God looseth his right and credit with them For no man can serue two maisters especially when they are contrarie one to the other Now wheras God requireth all authoritie in heauen and on earth as his owne in due right The Pope opposeth himselfe against it and saith That euery one is subiect to the high Priest of Rome vppon paine of damnation and ought to obey what soeuer hee saith Extra de maiori ob Dist C.

And yet we see for all this that all swearings for swearings and blasphemies are permitted in Poperie He declareth in deedes what hee will not confesse in plaine words to wit That slouth and idlenesse is best pleasing to him wherein hee alloweth what God expressely forbiddeth But herein hee proceedeth very cautelously for this commandement and all other he buildeth vpon a mans good will intention as if that were more certain then that which God hath pronounced with his owne mouth Yet hereupon hee establishe than other most horrible blasphemie worthie to be hurlde into the lowest hell namely the Masse the verie height of all euills Herein may you discerne what fruit or benefite ensueth by this good intention which is saide to be full of all sanctitie and Religion For no one can obserue this rule without renouncing father and mother and not onely to renounce or disauow them but likewise to ransack and quite strip them of all their goodes and substance thereby to get the young Nouice or sweete Sister Nunne into a Cloyster or Monasterie I will not say into a brothel of sinne There to vtter blasphemie against God violating his holy iust and lawfull commaundements and be detained as a Swine in the Stie in loose lubricities and wicked impieties a breuiate of the Popes Religion We saith the Pope doo graunt plenarie remission of all sinnes to all such as in the yeare of Iubilie shall come to Rome to gain the said Iubilie Sixtus 4.
