A73418	Roger Widdringtons last reioynder to Mr. Thomas Fitz-Herberts Reply concerning the oath of allegiance, and the Popes power to depose princes wherein all his arguments, taken from the lawes of God, in the Old and New Testament, of nature, of nations, from the canon and ciuill law, and from the Popes breues, condemning the oath, and the cardinalls decree, forbidding two of Widdringtons bookes are answered : also many replies and instances of Cardinall Bellarmine in his Schulckenius, and of Leonard Lessius in his Singleton are confuted, and diuers cunning shifts of Cardinall Peron are discouered.

derogate_v from_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o their_o temporal_a prince_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o head_n of_o a_o family_n shall_v bind_v his_o wife_n and_o child_n to_o defend_v he_o from_o the_o correction_n of_o his_o lawful_a prince_n when_o occasion_n shall_v require_v i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v be_v so_o absurd_a to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o lawful_a oath_n and_o correspondent_a to_o nature_n though_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v colour_v and_o shadow_v never_o so_o much_o with_o pretence_n of_o economical_a and_o filial_a discipline_n and_o duty_n and_o no_o more_o can_v the_o other_o oath_n be_v lawful_a and_o agreeable_a to_o nature_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o much_o colour_v with_o respect_n of_o temporal_a allegiance_n 17_o but_o first_o observe_v i_o pray_v you_o the_o egregious_a shuffle_n of_o this_o man_n for_o he_o pretend_v to_o prove_v in_o this_o chapter_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v power_n to_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n and_o to_o punish_v temporal_a prince_n temporal_o and_o that_o therefore_o the_o new_a oath_n which_o deni_v this_o power_n to_o be_v in_o the_o pope_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o i_o expect_v that_o he_o will_v have_v bring_v some_o effectual_a argument_n take_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n abstract_v from_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n to_o confirm_v this_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n to_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n and_o to_o punish_v temporal_a prince_n temporal_o and_o consequent_o that_o this_o oath_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n prejudicial_a to_o the_o coercive_v authority_n of_o spiritual_a pastor_n but_o now_o he_o fly_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o oath_n be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v prove_v this_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n than_o it_o follow_v say_v he_o that_o the_o say_a oath_n be_v no_o less_o unlawful_a unjust_a and_o repugnant_a to_o nature_n then_o if_o a_o husband_n shall_v exact_v of_o his_o wife_n a_o maiester_n of_o his_o servant_n a_o father_n of_o his_o child_n a_o oath_n which_o shall_v derogate_v from_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o their_o temporal_a prince_n so_o that_o mr._n fitzherbert_n do_v only_o conclude_v here_o that_o the_o oath_n be_v unlawful_a unjust_a and_o repugnant_a to_o nature_n suppose_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n prejudicial_a to_o the_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n 18_o second_o therefore_o although_o we_o shall_v suppose_v here_o with_o mr._n fitzherbert_n that_o this_o new_a oath_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v not_o yet_o he_o can_v therefore_o right_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v also_o repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o he_o in_o this_o chapter_n pretend_v to_o prove_v for_o that_o every_o transgression_n of_o the_o positive_a law_n or_o institution_n of_o almighty_a god_n be_v unlawful_a and_o yet_o not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n whereupon_o the_o divine_n do_v divide_v the_o law_n of_o god_n into_o the_o divine_a natural_a and_o the_o divine_a positive_a law_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v deny_v that_o the_o spiritual_a pastor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v authority_n to_o remit_v sin_n shall_v contradict_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o so_o this_o denial_n of_o priestly_a authority_n to_o forgive_v sin_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n of_o spiritual_a pastor_n and_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o from_o thence_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v natural_o graft_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o every_o man_n whether_o he_o be_v jew_n or_o gentile_a infidel_n or_o christian_a as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v by_o my_o adversary_n take_v here_o wherefore_o mr._n fitzherbert_n conclude_v here_o that_o the_o oath_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o that_o it_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o power_n and_o iuridiction_n give_v by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n seem_v not_o to_o understand_v himself_o what_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o how_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n but_o of_o this_o law_n of_o nature_n more_o beneath_o chap._n beneath_o num._n 90._o ●_o seq_fw-la and_o in_o the_o next_o chap._n where_o also_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o the_o obedience_n in_o general_a which_o a_o wife_n owe_v to_o her_o husband_n a_o servant_n to_o his_o master_n and_o child_n to_o their_o parent_n be_v not_o proper_o natural_a but_o civil_a and_o yet_o the_o obedience_n in_o general_a which_o subject_n owe_v to_o their_o temporal_a prince_n be_v not_o only_o call_v civil_a but_o also_o natural_a allegiance_n 19_o but_o three_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o this_o oath_n now_o in_o question_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n for_o that_o it_o deny_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v sovereign_n prince_n and_o to_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n neither_o have_v mr._n fitzherbert_n prove_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v any_o such_o power_n as_o you_o have_v see_v at_o large_a in_o the_o former_a chapter_n and_o to_o say_v that_o this_o oath_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n take_v the_o law_n of_o

and_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o clear_a then_o that_o the_o main_a question_n betwixt_o my_o adversary_n and_o i_o be_v not_o what_o authority_n the_o commonwealth_n have_v over_o

to_o the_o whole_a objection_n to_o the_o first_o breve_fw-la whereon_o the_o other_o two_o do_v depend_v it_o be_v answer_v first_o that_o although_o his_o holiness_n think_v and_o in_o his_o opinion_n suppose_v the_o oath_n to_o be_v of_o itself_o unlawful_a and_o to_o contain_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n do_v therefore_o by_o his_o letter_n or_o

opinion_n of_o his_o holiness_n as_o before_o sequen_o before_o num._n 44._o &_o sequen_o we_o have_v show_v as_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o follow_v the_o pope_n opinion_n against_o the_o probable_a opinion_n of_o other_o catholic_a divine_n than_o especial_o when_o by_o follow_v it_o very_o great_a prejudice_n be_v like_a to_o come_v to_o ourselves_o and_o many_o other_o and_o when_o the_o reason_n and_o ground_n for_o his_o opinion_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n by_o all_o man_n account_v to_o be_v very_o unsound_a as_o be_v almost_o all_o those_o argument_n which_o our_o learned_a adversary_n have_v object_v against_o the_o oath_n so_o also_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o obey_v the_o pope_n declarative_a precept_n which_o be_v found_v in_o his_o opinion_n and_o in_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o allege_v which_o precept_n according_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a doctrine_n of_o franciscus_n suarez_n have_v no_o great_a force_n to_o bind_v then_o have_v his_o reason_n and_o opinion_n whereon_o his_o declarative_a precept_n do_v whole_o depend_v 15_o second_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o english_a catholic_a who_o if_o he_o be_v well_o instruct_v will_v take_v the_o oath_n or_o approve_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o his_o holiness_n by_o all_o probable_a conjecture_n have_v condemn_v it_o for_o it_o be_v probable_a and_o in_o my_o judgement_n moral_o certain_a that_o his_o holiness_n do_v understand_v the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o the_o divine_n of_o rome_n do_v conceive_v they_o and_o especial_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n who_o advice_n and_o opinion_n in_o this_o so_o weighty_a a_o theological_a controversy_n which_o must_v needs_o bring_v great_a good_a or_o harm_n to_o this_o kingdom_n his_o holiness_n as_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a both_o demand_v and_o follow_v who_o therefore_o according_a to_o his_o holiness_n mind_n and_o by_o his_o permission_n write_v in_o defence_n of_o his_o breve_n against_o his_o majesty_n apology_n for_o the_o oath_n but_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n understand_v the_o oath_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o though_o it_o deny_v the_o pope_n primacy_n in_o spiritual_n his_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v to_o bind_v and_o loose_v and_o also_o to_o dispense_v in_o oath_n in_o which_o sense_n doubtless_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o contain_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v flat_a contrary_n to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n but_o no_o catholic_a do_v in_o this_o sense_n either_o take_v the_o oath_n or_o defend_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a neither_o be_v the_o argument_n which_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n have_v bring_v to_o prove_v the_o same_o any_o way_n sound_n and_o sufficient_a but_o very_o fallacious_a as_o i_o have_v show_v at_o large_a in_o the_o say_a disputation_n 16_o all_o this_o which_o be_v only_o a_o part_n of_o the_o answer_n i_o bring_v from_o the_o objection_n take_v from_o his_o holiness_n breve_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o repeat_v here_o again_o only_o for_o satisfaction_n of_o some_o scrupulous_a catholic_n who_o perchance_o fear_v now_o to_o read_v my_o disputation_n it_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o cardinal_n of_o the_o inquisition_n without_o declare_v any_o cause_n either_o in_o particular_a or_o in_o general_a why_o it_o it_o be_v forbid_v of_o wnich_a their_o prohibition_n i_o will_v say_v more_o beneath_o may_v here_o most_o clearley_n see_v how_o sound_o and_o without_o any_o irreverence_n or_o undutiful_a respect_n to_o his_o holiness_n i_o propound_v to_o he_o the_o reason_n for_o which_o english_a catholic_n think_v themselves_o not_o bind_v to_o obey_v his_o declarative_a precept_n contain_v in_o his_o breve_n humble_o request_v he_o that_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o fatherly_a care_n and_o pastoral_a duty_n he_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o instruct_v we_o in_o the_o catholic_a faith_n and_o to_o make_v know_v unto_o we_o but_o one_o of_o those_o many_o thing_n which_o he_o say_v be_v in_o the_o oath_n so_o manifest_o repugnant_a to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n 17_o whereby_o the_o reader_n may_v easy_o perceive_v the_o egregious_a fraud_n of_o this_o my_o unlearned_a adversary_n in_o urge_v so_o vehement_o to_o my_o disgrace_n the_o objection_n draw_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o holiness_n breve_n &_o conceal_v the_o principal_a answer_n which_o i_o bring_v thereunto_o &_o whereby_o i_o clear_v myself_o from_o all_o just_a imputation_n of_o irreverence_n or_o undutiful_a respect_n to_o his_o holiness_n for_o what_o irreverence_n or_o undutiful_a

which_o do_v move_v we_o to_o think_v that_o he_o have_v be_v misinform_v of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o oath_n and_o the_o difficulty_n which_o do_v perplex_v our_o conscience_n concern_v his_o
