Frederick returning into Italy from the East after all these wrongs hauing both cause and means opportunely offering it selfe to reuenge his wrongs yet resolued not to bee drawne from his milde course He made m●…anes to be reconciled to the Pope the Pope would not heare of reconciliation vnlesse he would giue him one hundred and twenty thousand ounces of gold This was the price of his absolution That the Princes of the world might know that his excommunications stand in bloud cruelty and ambition his absolutions in couetousnesse Frederick being thus absolued was receiued by the Pope in a banquet but all was counterfeit cheere For no sooner was Frederick returned into Germany but presently hee vnderstood that the Princes of Germany had receiued directions from the Pope to c●…use none of his family Emperour after him that the Pope had conspired with his enemies to deiect him from the Empire Frederick prepared an Army to represse the Lumbards who had conspired against him and tooke many Cities in Lumbardy Vmbria and Hetruria The Pope being one of the same conspiracy was so offended at Frederick that he thundred out now the third time his excommunication against him discharging áll his Subiects from their faith and alleageance He made a league with the Venetians and hee called the Lateran Councell wherein the purpose was to depose Frederick Hee commaunded also the heads of Peter and Paul to be caried through the City in solemne Procession And calling the people together in Saint Peters Minister hee made an Oration to them full of commiseration stirring them vp to fight against the Emperour and to take the signe of the Crosse as against an enemie of Christ promising euerlasting life to all that tooke Armes against him 121. The Emperour in whom it appeared that the greatest patience once broken is turned into the greatest furie vnderstanding that the Pope whom he had alwayes sought to mitigate was not to be drawne by kindnesse or faire meanes hearing also that against himselfe as against a Turke or Sarracine the Crosse was giuen brought his Army before the City of Rome and ioyning battell against his enemies put them to an ouerthrow but especially hee declared his indignation against such as had taken the Crosse. For hee commaunded that they should be cut in the manner of a Crosse. Some had their heads clouen in foure quarters crosse-wise The Clergie had first a c●…owne cut off to the quicke and then were deepely crossed with a sword that as they were called so they might bee in truth signed with a Crosse. The Emperour also vnderstanding that the Popes Legates were sent out to call the Bishops of England and Fraunce to the Councell kept watch in all the wayes that none might come to the Councell He tooke diuers Cardinals and Bishops that were comming by shippe some he drowned others he hanged among whom was the Popes brother Pope Gregory hauing thus raised vp the quiet spirit of this Prince into su●…h a rage and knowing no way how to appease him or to rid himselfe out of these troubles which himselfe had procured for griefe died 122. C●…lestinus the fourth succeeding would alfo haue succeeded Gregory in the same hereditary spirit of rebellion and sauage crueltie but a sudden death and short gouernment would not suffer him to performe his purpose for within eighteene daies of his Election he was poisoned In his place came Innocentius the fourth who of a most inward friend of the Emperor became a most mortall foe and surpassed all his predecessours in spirituall fury against the good Emperour for when Bald●…in King of Ierusalem and Raymond Earle of Tholous laboured to establish peace betweene the Empire and Papacy and had procured for that purpose a meeting the Pope aided by the Fleete of Genua gaue them the slippe and came to Lyons in Fr ance where he called a Synode In this Synode the Pope caused Fred ericke to be cyted personally to appeare and to answere to such things as should be obiected against him The Emperour appeared not but sent thither Thaddaeus Suessanus a famous Lawyer in those daies among other that the Emperour sent Naucler nameth also Petrum de Vineis a learned and eloquent man at that time These pleading for the Emperor declared that he was hindred by such impediments that personally he could not be present and therefore they required with great submisnes on the Emperours behalfe that a conuenient time might be assigned to him wherein he might come and answere This reasonable petition was denied the Pope drew out his terrible toole excommunicating the Emperour absoluing all Princes of the Empire from their Oath and faith moued them to make choice of a new Emperour alleaging many causes falsly deuised as blasphemy periury sacriledge and such like 123. Fredericke after he heard of these proceedings against him made readie for a iourney to Lyons but as he was in the way vnderstanding that

liued 30. But was not Bishoppe Grosthead of the same faith and Religion with the Church of Rome Yes verily and so will I be if you grant me his conditions exceptions for he putteth two clauses very memorable by which he will condition with the Church of Rome or any other particular Church whatsoeuer First That the doctrines of that Church be the doctrines of Christ and his Apostles Secondly That so wee may regard the Church of Rome that wee be sure to hold vnity with the true Church the body of Christ. These excellent and famous men that haue heretofore liued in the vnity of the Church of Rome haue beene willing wee confesse to yeelde so much to the Pope and that particular Church as they might doe holding vnity with the true body of Christ. But if the vnity with the Romane Church doe draw them away from the vnity with Christs body then haue they alwaies beene resolued to giue ouer the vnity with that particular Church This confirmeth that which before I obserued in the Distinction betweene the Church of Rome and the Court of Rome because we see many learned and worthy men of our forefathers were of the Church of Rome that is held the bond of vnity with it who were professed enemies to the Court of Rome Now the Pope and his flatterers haue forsaken that vnity with the Church of Rome which stood in Apostolicall doctrines and vnity with the true body of Christ howsoeuer they boast of the name and haue nothing now to shew for themselues but the pride and faction of the Court of Rome 31. Now come we to the time wherein liued Iohn Wiclif another of the worthies of Merton Colledge in Oxford his aduersaries would blot him with the name of an Hereticke some things are vntrue wherewith they iniuriously charge him some things are true which they vniustly call Heresie In this question of Iurisdiction as he receiued the truth from Occham his Senior in Merton Colledge so he deliuered the same faithfully Speaking of the Kings Iurisdiction as well ouer the Clergie as Laity he saith The chiefe Lordshippe in this land of all temporalties both of secular men and religious pertaine to the King of his generall Gouernement for else hee were not King of all England but of a little part thereof Therefore the men that busien them to take away this Lordshippe from the King as don Friars and their sautors in this point beene snarper enemies and Traytors then Frenchmen and all other nations Wiclif labored worthily to descry refute the errors concerning Iurisdiction that in his time came creeping in introduced by Friars For he witnesseth that the Friars taught thus Rex Angliae non est rex totius Angliae sed regulus paruae partis super residi●…um vero mortificatum est Papa Dominus Veruntamen non est disp utandum inquiunt de hac materia quousque fuerit in effectu potentius stabilita sed tolerandae sunt iniuriae dominorum saecul●…rium quousque arriserit opportunit as temporis That is The King of England is not King of all England but Lord of a little part ouer the residue in a dead hand the Pope is Lord but say they there is no disputing of this matter vntill it be powerfully brought in effect In the meane time they say the iniuries of temporall Lords must be borne vntill an opportunity fauo ur them This is plaine dealing The Friars declare what is that thing at which they haue long aimed For what other meaning haue their pretended exemptions then by making a reuolt from the obedience of their soueraigns to become wholly the Popes seruants and creatures 32. But this late generation of Friars I meane the Iesuites exceeding these olde Friars in admirable practises in the blood and destruction of Princes and states are yet so confident in their wit and eloquence that they thinke themselues able to perswade the Kings of the earth to account them among good and loyall subiects The old Friars dealt more plainely they professed not obedience to Princes these professe more and would colour their deepe deuises in destruction of Princes with impudency and dissimulation as if they meant not the same things which daily they practise Now that which Wiclif taught against these wicked and prophane opinions of these olde Friars was no other thing then the iudgement of the learned Diuines which liued before and in his time for he brought in no nouelties but the Friars introduced the nouelties in Religion and Iurisdiction And that Distinction which before we obserued betweene the Church of Rome and the Court of Rome he confirmeth as a thing notori●…usly marked in his time for of the Church of Rome he saith thus Protestor publice quod amando venerando Romanam Ecclesiam matrem meam desidero procuro defensionem omnium priuilegiorum suorum That is I protest publiquely that louing and honouring the Church of Rome Ireuerence my mother and procure the defence of all her priuiledges But of the Court of Rome or that particular Church of Rome which was gouerned by the Pope hee saith much otherwise not doubting but that the iudgement of the particular Church of England might in many things be preferred before that particular Church of Rome guided by the Pope Fieripotest saith he quod Dominus Papa foret ignarus legis scripturae quod Anglicana Ecclesia foret longe praestantior in iudicio veritatis Catholica quam tota ista Romana Ecclesia collecta de istis Papa Cardinalibus That is It may come to passe that the Lord Pope may be ignorant of the law of Scripture and that the Church of England may be more excellent in the iudgment of the Catholicke truth then all this Romane Church collected of the Pope and Cardinals Then in those dayes there was not much attributed to the Popes not erring iudgement or to the authority of that Church which was wholly gouerned by the Pope seeing the Pope might be ignorant of the lawe of God and the Church of England might haue a more excellent iudgement in the truth then that particular Church of Rome That which Wiclif saith might come to passe the world seeth and acknowledgeth that since that time it is come to passe That Friars were the introducers of Nouelties we haue already shewed out of Iohn Wiclifes obseruations In this sorte things stood vntill the time of the Councell of Pisa which was helde some twentie yeares after Iohn Wiclifes death §. IIII. The Popes Iurisdiction ouerthrowne by Councels 33. THus haue we heard the iudgement of learned men against the Popes Iurisdiction after that the same Iurisdiction began to be practised these haue refuted especially that part of his claime which was in temporalibus Now we will consider another part of his pretended Iurisdiction which was in spiritualibus in this we finde his feathers as well pulled as in the former so that when both temporall and spirituall Iurisdiction is
