scarcely be made euen by impudency it selfe preaching at the Crosse in a Ministers weed For scarce is there any Catholike Author that hath of late writtē against Hetikes that hath not detested this blasphemy and censured Protestants as impudent slaunderers for charging the same to be a point of our Cath. (a) See Bellar lib. 3. de Rom. Pontif c. 19. 20. doctrine Secondly he saith that we hould the Pope to be aboue a Councell aboue Scripture it selfe aboue Kings and the reason is because he is God which are vast vntruths That the Pope is aboue a Councell some Catholikes deny that he is aboue holy Scripture we all detest teaching that he is bound to belieue the doctrine and to obey the precepts therof And though he be aboue Kings as spirituall iurisdiction exceedeth temporall yet the reason therof which we assigne is not because the Pope is God God the King of Kings which the Bachelour bringeth as ours but because the soule exceedeth the body heauen surpasseth earth and therfore the Pastour of the soule and the director vnto heauen is a more high and excellent office then that of earthly and temporall power so that in this his saying there is not one true word And no lesse false and impudent is the next that we hold that the Pope should take appeales from all the world weare a triple crowne be carryed on mens shoulders giue his foot to be kissed dispose of Kings and Kingdomes at his pleasure because he that is God may doe more then all these For the Pope as all know that haue seen Rome vseth to go on foot or in Litter or in Coach neyther doth he giue his foot to be kissed though somtimes he permit the same to them that desire to offer that signe of reuerence vnto Christ whose Vicar he is neyther doth he challenge the authority of taking appeales in worldly and temporall affayres but in Ecclesiasticall only much lesse from all the world wherof a great part is not Christian least of all do Catholikes teach that he can dispose of Kings and Kingdomes at his pleasure But that which surpasseth beyond measure the bounds of modesty and truth is that we deriue these doctrines from the Popes Godhead what truth modesty or shame can be in this fellow that vseth such exorbitant lying and rayling What discretion of the English Ministry to make him the patterne of their modest Preachers Finally to make good what I said that you should find no sentence in him which is not eyther notoriously false or witlesse he concludeth with this sottish argument that we worship not the true God because our God admits another Lord God to wit the Pope and so is not God alone where I wish the Bachelour to examine his cōscience and search the corners of his inuisible Church and tell vs what Gods he and other Ministers do worship in priuate whether it be Iupiter or Mars or Cupid seeing their God whosoeuer he be will not be alone nor suffer his worshippers to liue single but admit the company of Lady Goddesses as Q. Elizabeth was tearmed The second wound and slaunder That the Pope can doe more then God hath done His secōd wound or head of slanders 14. IN the second wound the Bachlour mounteth a point higher charging the Church of Rome to teach tha● the Pope can do more then God hath done which is indeed a note aboue a lye that no meruaile though he fell hoarce strayning his voyce to reach such high poynts of falshood l. 4. reuelat c. 13. This blasphemy he seeketh to build vpon the booke of the Reuelations of S. Brigit where saith he it is dogmatically deliuered as a matter without question Foure vntruths in few lines the foure corner stones of his Babel that Pope Gregory by his prayers lifted vp the heathen Emperour Traian out of hell In which few words are contayned foure notorious vntruths the foure corner stones on which the Babel of this feygned blasphemy is set First it is false that there is affirmed that Gregory did deliuer Traian out of hell there being no mention at all of hell Infidelem Caesarem eleuauit ad altiorem gradum he lifted vp the vnbelieuing Emperour to a higher degree Secondly it is false that the same is affirmed as a matter without question which is barely related at the most but as a credible story Thirdly it is false and notoriously false that the said story is there deliuered dogmatically that is as a matter of faith there being no word out of which he may gather it for though that booke was seene and allowed to be printed by a Cardinall at the appoyntment of the Councell of Constance yet it is ridiculous thence to inferr that all matters contayned in a booke set out by authority are pointes of Catholick faith as any man of iudgment doth know and the Bachelour doth affirme that our learnedest authors hold this story to be a fable as you shall heare Fourthly he falsely translateth bonus Gregorius Pope Gregory for holy Gregory which in truth were a small fault by itself did he not say the same as a foundation of foure huge Foure huge vntruths raysed by the Bachelour only on the word cogged into S. Brigits sentēce the foure walls of his Babel and horrible vntruthes as the foure walls on the top of which he reareth vp the blaspemy which reacheth aboue God For by putting in the word Pope which is not in S. Brigit he inferreth first that Gregory was Pope when he wrought the supposed miracle of raysing from death and deliuering Traian from hell which though he doe very constantly affirme and suppose as auouched by the authors of that story yet I thinke it is more then he can proue these authors seeming rather to affirme that Gregory did that miracle if euer he did it before he was Pope The second falshood which he inferreth from the intruded title of Pope is that Gregory did the sayd miracle as Pope deliuering Traian out of hell by his papall prerogatiue power contrary to the authors of that story who affirme that he did it by his prayers and by his teares Bonus Gregorius oratione sua infidelem Caesarem eleuauit ad altiorem gradum Holy Gregory saith the booke he citeth by his prayers lifted vp Traian to a higher degree 15. The third falshood is A fond discourse that the Pope in this respect because the miracle was done by a Pope doth defend this booke of S. Brigits and the story of Traian against many learned men to wit Melchior Canus Blasius Vegas and the two Cardinalls Bellarmine and Baronius who reiect the same as a fable And how doth he proue the Pope mayntayneth the story against these learned men Heare I pray you this learned Procter of the English Church discourse and then iudge of his wisdome Because saith he he suffered a Spanish Dominican fryar to defend it and not in word but in writing
