Church A motion was made of Marrying the Queen who was already forty years old and three Matches were proposed Cardinal Pool who was of the Bloud Royal the Lord Courtenay Cozin to Henry VIII and Philip Prince of Spain Mary chose Philip and the Emperour fearing lest Cardinal Pool who had been his Son's Competitor might by his presence cross his Marriage with Mary did all he could not make him delay his Journey and not being able to perswade him sent Don Diego de Mendoza to stop him in the Palatinate by Force and Authority The Cardinal complained of this as of an action that did violate the Majesty of the holy See and an affront done to the Pope and his Legates So that Charles having detained him sometime was forced to give him his liberty and sent him to Brussels But he found a means to amuse him in Brabant under colour of engaging him in a negotiation of Peace betwixt the King of France and himself untill the Marriage was accomplished In the beginning of the year 1554. The Emperour sent four Ambassadours into England for concluding the Treaty betwixt the Queen of England his Son and himself Mary in the mean while who with much prudence went gradually on in the re-establishment of Religion made new Proclamations restored the use of the Latin Tongue in Divine Service renounced the Supremacy in the Church gave it back to the Pope and so annulled the Acts of her Father The matter was brought before the Parliament where it met with opposition amongst the Lords because of the Church Lands possessed by the Nobles which they must be obliged to give back again So that the Pope's Supremacy past not at that time Prince Philip that he might not seem inferiour to Mary in Dignity took the Title of King of Naples and consummated his Marriage at London the twenty fifth of July being St. James his day the Patron of Spain The Parliament met again in the month of November following and Cardinal Pool was therein restored to all his rights and honours Two Members of Parliament were sent to bring him over into England and he arrived at London the twenty third of November with the Silver Cross carried before him Being brought into the House of Lords where the King and Queen were present he made a Speech to that Illustrious Assembly thanking them for the favour they had done him in restoring him to his Honours and Countrey He earnestly exhorted them to return again to the obedience of the holy See wherein he prevailed and the Ceremony of Reconciliation was performed the last day of November for the Authority of the King and Queen had obliged all the dissatisfied Members to silence which silence was taken as a consent The Queen caused a Petition to be framed wherein the Parliament begg'd Pardon of the Pope for having withdrawn themselves from under his obedience This Petition was presented to the King and Queen who rising immediately from their Chairs of State went to the Legate and besought him to grant the Parliament the Pardon which they begg'd The Legate standing up and all the Members of Parliament kneeling before him made a Speech concerning the Joy that the repentance of sinners causes in Heaven and then having prayed over them he gave them absolution The Members rose up and the whole Parliament went in body to the Church where Te Deum was Sung Next day three Ambassadours were named to goe render homage to the Pope in name of the whole Nation and this success caused so great Joy at Rome that the Pope proclaimed a Jubile the twenty fourth of December to render thanks to God for so great a blessing The Parliament of England sitting till the middle of the next year Philip and Mary got all the Ancient Laws against Here-ticks to be revived All Acts to the contrary year 1554 made in the time of Henry and his Son Edward were Repealed and afterward the rigour of the Laws that were now again in force was put in execution against the Protestants One hundred threescore and sixteen persons of Quality besides inferiour people were by Mary's Order that year put to death amongst whom Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury and the rest of the Bishops who had been the Authors of the Reformation were burnt It was put to their choice either to dye or to recant but none of them would save their Lives by a Recantation This persecution extended to the very Graves and the ashes of the dead the bodies of Bucer and Paulus Fagius who had been dead some four years were taken up and burnt So that the Protestants went to pot in all places for at the same time Henry the II. caused a great many of the reformed Religion to be burnt in France not so much out of Zeal as to satisfie the insatiable avarice of Diana of Poictiers Dutchess of Valentinois his Mistress to whom he had given the forfeitures of all that should be condemned for Heresie On the other hand Ferdinand King of the Romans published an Edict whereby he strictly charged all his Subjects not to make any innovation in matters of Religion and banished above two hundred Ministers out of Bohemia Several of his most considerable Nobility prayed him that he would at least permit the use of the Cup but he refused it and caused a Catechism to be made according to which all School masters should instruct their Scholars But this Edict did not altogether please the Pope who complained that a Prince should have undertaken to make a Formulary of Faith year 1555 The same year being 1555. a Diet was called at Ausbourg for composing the troubles of Religion Ferdinand made a long Speech in it 1555. A Diet at Ausbourg during which the Pope dies wherein he reckoned up the mischiefs that had been occasioned in Germany by those controversies in Religion and the horrid corruption of manners that these debates had drawn after them Divers means were proposed for taking up these differences and amongst others a conference of the learned of both sides but the Pope who had an aversion to any thing that bore the name of conference approved not that expedient he caused Cardinal Morone his Legate in Germany to represent to the Diet that all conferences ought to be avoided and that the onely way to put an end to controversies was that which was taken in England to wit to return again to the obedience of the holy See But Cardinal Morone was not long at Ausbourg before he heard of the death of Julius which happened in February 1555. He therefore returned to Rome to assist at the Election of a new Pope and found the business done before he came MARCEL II. Marcello Cervino Cardinal of Santa Croce was created Pope on the eighth of April 1555. It is observed as a thing singular in him that he would not change his name as others do This custome of changing of names upon promotion to the Papacy came from the Germans whose names

from the Church of Rome and Catholicks themselves took Liberty to speak The whole Discourse both of Catholicks and Protestants was about the Debates and Factions in managing of Affairs especially the matter of Reformation And according to the French way of raillery it was presently in every body's mouth that the Council of Trent had far more Authority than that of the Apostles for whereas the Apostles said It seemeth good to the Holy Ghost and to us the Fathers of Trent said barely It hath seemed good to us quite excluding the Holy Ghost Germany slighted the Council to the highest Degree for the Prelates of that Nation had not been present in this last Convocation which notwithstanding was the most Solemn of all Very few Bishops were there for the Kingdoms if Hungary and Poland none at all from England Swedeland Danemark and the low Countries The French Prelates came onley at the latter end and reckoning them all together with the Spaniards they did not exceed the number of forty Bishops all the rest were Italians of a few more than two hundred Prelates which made up the Council there were above an hundred and fifty from Italy And therefore it had the Name of the Council of the Pope and Italians The Pope confirms the Council by a Bull. The Court of Rome was very glad that the Council was ended they mattered not much what Decrees it had made provided it could make no more The Pope died not then of his sickness and had double Cause of rejoicing at the same time both that he had recovered his health and was also discharged of the burthen of the Council He was so overjoyed that without boggling he declared that he would confirm it and even add some new Reformations That Declaration allarmed the Court of Rome though the Reformations of the Council went not very far however no body was willing to part from any of their Rents and Profits and that nevertheless they must have done had the Decrees of the Council been religiously observed Most of the Cardinals were of opinion that the Pope should moderate the Articles which might incommode the Court of Rome before he confirmed them and alledged that that would serve for two ends First it would as we have said ease them of several incommodious Regulations and then it would confirm the Pope in his Superiority over the Council by reforming it But in fine after that a great many Congregations of Cardinals had been held upon that Subject the opinion of confirming it without any alteration prevailed Some perswaded the Pope to it by Arguments of Piety Honour and Sincerity to his word But the deciding Cast was put in by Hugo Boncompagno Bishop of Vieste in Apulia He alledged that the Confirmation of the Council was so far from diminishing the Authority of the Pope and the Grandure of the Court of Rome that it would much advance it provided a Barriere were set to put a stop to the Rashness of Doctours and hinder them from interpreting the Council according to their several Fancies and Interests It was his advice then that the Judges themselves should be prohibited from medling with the Interpretation of the Sense of the Council and that it should be ordained that in all doubtfull matters recourse should be had to the Holy See and its Interpretations submitted to And thus he made it appear that by so doeing the Court of Rome would always have the absolute Disposal of every thing that pinched them because in confirming the Council the Holy See reserved to it self the Power of interpreting it He said that there was no Law so plain and express nor so rigorous which might not be turned to a commodious and a favourable Sense by means of Exceptions and Qualifications If there be any thing then in the Council that pinches the Holy See and Court of Rome it will be a very easie matter to avoid it by expounding it as one pleases But the Council cannot be made use of said he to the Prejudice of the Court of Rome because all the force of its Execution will depend on the Holy See to which recourse must be had for Interpretation This Overture was worth a Cardinals Cap to the Bishop and it appeared so convenient and good that all agreed to it Thus the matter was resolved upon and the Pope on the six and twentieth of December gave the Bull of Confirmation wherein he forbids under pain of Excommunication the publishing of any Commentaries or Observations upon the Council ordaining in all doubtfull Cases Recourse to be had to the Holy See Within some Months after the Pope made a Promotion of Nineteen Cardinals to reward those who had faithfully served him in the Council and neither Marco Antonio Colonna Archbishop of Taranto nor the Bishop of Vieste were forgotten FINIS ERRATA In the Historical Reflexions Page 20. line 5. reade if according p. 37. l. 26. for of r. from p. 60. l. 20. r. exalting p. 102. l. 6. r. sufficiently p. 113. l. 9. for prompted r. permitted In the History Page 1. l. 1. for fifteenth r. sixteenth p. 60. l. 28. for Madoncio r.
