Iohn 4 1. according to that blessed saying of Saint Iohn Beleeue not euerie spirit but trie the spirits whether they be of God These reasons right Worshipfull being weighed and throughly considered by me I was not a little spurred and pricked forward something to take in hand that might testifie and shew my zeale and feruent affection to the same And by chaunce taking Platina though a shamefull parasite for the Popes yet in manie places truly painting and publishing their filthinesse and abominations I lighted vpon Pope Ioane of whom he writeth and craftily cloaketh in the life of Iohn the eight Noting the historie and perceiuing what a miraculous token it was sent of the Lord to the subuersion of poperie and to the vtter confusion of that purple whore I framed thereupon a Parliament though but a fiction yet plainly declaring the great choler and indignation that the Pope and his Prelats haue at the name of Pope Ioane their palpable blindnesse and malcontent stomackes their greedie and insaciable hunger for money their mutinous dissension and antichristian practises that be among them and their spitefull enuie and enimitie against the true professours of the Gospel whereunto I annexed an anatomie of Pope Ioane more manifestly opening their clouted shifts and excuses for her and more apparantly reuealing her whole life and storie This right Worshipfull I boldly offer vnto you although it may import small manners and little modestie in me assuming so vpon your courtesie as I assure my selfe you will vouchsafe of my good will and accept of the matter The matter indeede I confesse is such as deserueth to be handeled of a graue and learned diuine and can not by reason of my ignorance and small knowledge be so cunningly and clearkely described as it ought yet I doubt not but it is so handled as you shall see Pope Ioane painted out in her colours and behold as it were in a glasse the loathsome corruption and peruersnesse of the Romane synagogues howsoeuer it be I am to craue pardon of skillesse attempt shrowding my selfe wholy and solie vnder your courteous protection promising that if hereafter either my wit or skill shall be able to yeelde anie better fruite I will offer it at your Worships shrine For you are the Saint to whom in heart I owe most dutifull deuotion being such a lampe and light of iustice and good gouernement in this our Countie of Dorset such a fautor and friend of vertue and good literature such a furtherer and fauourer of true Christian religion and of the preachers and ministers thereof and so wise well affected and giuen euerie kind of wayes that I should rather embeazle then illustrate your condigne

plus in the matter Thou canst smooth and sooth These be the fruites of Papists thou canst with the Satyre out of one mouth blow both whotte and colde thou knowest well enough the fashion and frailtie of this Court Omnia Roma cum precio thou hast vnguentum rubrum to grease them withall if néede bee thou hast enough and enough to pacifie this fray and to saue thy selfe harmelesse Therefore be not dismayde sat supérque habes and say with Niobe tutum me copia fecit Hauing thus spoken he went vp and downe with a pleasant and merrie countenaunce couering as well as he could all his griping griefes and patheticall affections with an outward colour of great courage spirite and securitie Yet by no meanes he could driue away the cogitation out of his heart but euer he hammered and hacked vpon it and especially how he should the next day answere the matter brought in question Therefore he disputed pro con with himselfe and armed his heade so strongly and bombasted his braines so egregiouslie that his force seemed impregnable and hee thought himselfe able in disputation to encounter with the best doctour and profoundest Coriphaeus in all Italie Well the day and hower was come wherein he should draw néere towardes the Consistorie wherefore he got all his tackling and furniture about him and went his way As soone as hee and the rest of the Cardinals were sate the mightie Maiestie of the high potentate Gregorie came in glittering and glistering in his pontificall and princely robes fortified with no smal companie of men and palfraies Plaine and euident tokens of Antichrist and sat downe in a stately and emperiall chaire there erected and prepared for him after that he had well setled himselfe he began this solemne oration Reuerend Cardinals my owne déere and first begotten children The Popes oration fit and worthie pastours of my Catholique and Apostolique Church may it please you to the health and securitie of my authoritie to the praise and honor of God See his pride and ambitiō he putteth himselfe before God and to the encrease and aduancement of our Romane faith and religion to consider with me and to iudge vprightly of these three points following First whether the Porphyrie chaire vsed for the triall and proofe of our virility The points to be decided in the Parliament is to be preserued as hitherto it hath bene or else to be destroyed and abolished Secondly whether the marble image néere Colosseo that sheweth Pope Ioane lying in her trauell is to be kept as an ancient monument or to be defaced and broken in péeces as a ridiculous and odious spectacle Thirdly whether the English fugitiues are to be retained and further maintained at our great charges or else without any longer delay to be vtterly expelled and exiled They all answered it pleaseth vs. The Pope then went forward on this maner The popes iudgement in the first point Most noble Cardinals I will first of all relate vnto you my sacred and Apostolicall censure concerning these questions and then I will permit you franckly and fréely to propose your iudgements also My censure concerning the hollow chaire of Porphirie stone is affirmatiue and this that it is no longer to be kept and preserued as proper to the Romane chaire of blessed Peter prince of the Apostles but forthwith to be defaced and destryed as a thing too base and contemptible far vnworthie of our high calling and reuerend iurisdiction The reasons that moue me are these First it is no small defamation and disgrace to Christ his chiefe vicar and pastour to him whose power is diuine and emperious farre aboue any mortall man to yéeld himselfe to so vnséemely and vile athing Sabellicus Enneadis 9. lib. 1. ab vltimo Diacono attrectantur as to suffer another man attrectare genitalia at his creation Secondly it is a renouation and continuall demonstration of the memorie of Pope Ioane who hath brought more infamie contempt and detestation to our sanctified chaire and religion then now can or euer I feare me will be well wiped or taken away Thirdly the defacing and abolishing of it will restraine hereticall and contumelious tongues aswage the calamities of these our times quiet the controuersies of religion and restore a more true and Ecclesiasticall peace vnto vs. Now let me heare what your opinion is Conuenimus omnes said the Cardinals your holinesse hath spoken nothing but that which is for the glorie of the blessed chaire of Peter for the benefite of the ancient Catholike faith and for the assurance of our safeties and dignities And what say you Cardinall Allen quoth the Pope Vox tua raucescit are you mute and silent How like you these suppositions The Cardinall with all mildnesse and modestie thus answered Conuenimus omnes We agrée altogither they are pure and Catholike fit and famous decrees and canons for your Apostolical seate and for the ancient absolute and full perfect faith of the high citie of Rome Perge perge go on go on quoth the Pope you haue more to say I am sure Since it so pleaseth your sanctimonie said the Cardinall Libentissimè pergam I will go forward with all my heart Right well may I vse the words of the learned father S. Hierome In Epist. Haec est fides beatissime Papa quam in catholica discimus Ecclesia in qua si minùs peritè aut parùm cautè forte aliquid positum est emendari cupimus à te qui Petri fidem sedem tenes This is the faith ô most blessed father which we learne in the catholike Church wherein if any thing peraduenture be put not skilfully nor aduisedly we desire to be reformed of you who vsurpe the seate and faith of Peter For if the holy mother church of Rome False vngodly opinions be so founded built and grounded vpon Peter Prince of the Apostles that the gates of hell shall not preuaile against it and if Peters successour and Christs chiefe steward hath the keyes of heauen giuen him to binde and loose to adde and subtract to multiplie and diuide at his celestiall will and pleasure then who may vnder paine of damnation gainesay his heauenly sentence and opinion and without his great curse and thundering bull derogate any one iot from his faith and religion A notable Parasite If your omnipotent authoritie most gracious father be as farre aboue Princes and Emperours as the sunne is aboue the moone and aboue the Angels of God without whom there is no saluation then how may we or dare we once spurne or maligne at you and reiect your diuine and infallible sentence in any matter whatsoeuer You are the spirituall man that iudgeth all things you your selfe are iudged of none and although you be found vnprofitable and remisse in your workes hauing no regard to your owne saluation This was the detestable doctrine of Pope Boniface an English
