luke-warme temper which is so 〈◊〉 to the 〈◊〉 of God that he threateneth to spew such out of his mouth Of which beware Christian Reader as thou tendere●t the everlasting health of thy soule If the Lord be God follow him but if Baal be he goe after him For assure thy selfe whatsoever the Romish Baal may doe God will retaine no halting followers It is not 〈◊〉 to worship God in thy heart but thou must worship him also with thy body for he who hath created both and redeemed both will be worshipped in both and served by both Say thou never didst worship Baal in thy heart yet if thy knee bowed unto him or thy mouth kissed him God will account thee for none of his servants 1 King 19.18 It is not sufficient to beleeve in Christ thou must also confesse his Name for with the heart man beleeveth unto righteousnesse and with the mouth co●f●ssi●n is made unto salvation It is not sufficient that the Religion we professe be true if we be not true to it neither will our faith save us if we save not it and keepe it uncorrupt What the Oratour speaketh of piety towards our parents may be more truely affirmed of piety towards God religion is wounded with a gesture a n●d nay a looke It was said of old saith our Saviour Thou shalt not commit adulterie but I say unto you Matth. 5 27.28 That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adulterie with her in his heart If we goe with a friend to Masse out of a lust or meere curiositie to see the Whore of Babylon in her richest dresse upon a high Festival day we have alreadie committed spirituall adultery with her in our heart And therefore Constantius the Emperour as Ambrose testifieth thought himselfe polluted if he had but seene an Altar and the noble Martyrs in the first and best ages of the Church would rather suffer the last drop of bloud in their heart to be spil● then cast but one graine of Franckincense to the fire in honour of the Idols And when Iulian by a slight as Sozomen writeth had drawne some Christian souldiers to doe some kinde of reverence in this kinde to his heathenish Idols he cunningly sitting by the Altar where there was an Image of his Pagan Deitie and calling them to bestow some gold upon them as soone as ever they perceived how they were circumvented they run backe againe into the place where incense was burning to the Idol and cast downe all the gold they had received before the Emperours face And Valentinian carrying the Mace before Iulian the Apostata when the heathenish Sexton cast some holy water upon him he ●eld him downe at a blow wiped off the water saying 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Theod. hist. l. 3. c. 15.

for ever be cleerely extinguished and never to be used or obeyed within this Realme or any other your Maiesties Dominions and Countries may it please your Highnesse that it may be enacted as followeth c. Hence I thus argue No Papist with a good conscience can take an Oath prescribed by an Act of Parliament made purposely and with an expresse intention for the extirpation of the Popes jurisdiction and Supremacie over the whole Church which he claimeth by vertue of Christs promise made to Peter tibi dabo claves But such is the Oath of Supremacie as appeares by the Statutes above cited Ergo No Papist with a good conscience may take it 2. Secondly from the letter of the law and formal● and expresse words of the Oath which are these That neither the See nor Bishop of Rome nor any forreigne Potentate hath or ought to have any Iurisdiction power or authoritie within this Realme neither by Gods Law nor by any other iust law or meanes Henry 8.35 yeere hereunto adde the Admonition to the Queenes Injunctions Hence I thus argue No Papist may take an Oath which containeth in it the renouncing a prime Article of his faith necessary to salvation in his Religion and the iudgement of his Church But every Papist taking the Oath of Supremacie renounceth a prime Article of his faith necessarie to salvation For so we reade in the Extravagans cap. unam sanctam de maior et obed Subesse Romano pontifici omni humanae creaturae declaramus dicimus definimus et pronunciamus omnino esse de necessitate salutis We saith Boniface the eighth declare say define and pronounce that it is altogether or absolutely necessary to salvation for every humane creature to be subiect to the Bishop of Rome Ergo no Papist may take the Oath of Supremacie 3. Thirdly from the judgement of the Church of Rome which accounteth Fisher Bishop of Rochester and Sir Thomas Moore sometimes Lord Chan●ellour of England blessed and glorious Martyrs because both these lost 〈◊〉 heads ●ather then they would acknowledge the King Supreame Head 〈…〉 and 〈◊〉 the Popes Headship To omit the testimonies 〈…〉 ●ovius Bishop in Italie Iohn Cochleus of Germanie William Paradine a learned Historian of France Cardinall Poole living in the Court at Rome and writing to the King in the defence of Ecclesiasticall unitie saith thus by the figure of Apostroph● Thy Father O England thy ornament thy de●●nce was brought to his death being innocent in thy sight and a little after he lef● his life for thy sake left he should overthrow and b●tray thy salvation and Cardinall B●llarmine in his Booke De Scriptoribus Ecclesiasticis ab Anno 1400. ad 1500. thus writeth of Fisher Bishop of Rochester Iohannes Fischerus natione Anglus Episcopus Roffensis posteà S. R. E. Cardinalis et quod longe gloriofius est Martyr Christi occisus est Henrici octavi Regis anglorum iussu Anno 1535. Iohn Fisher an English man Bishop of Rochester and afterwards Car●inall and which makes him farre more glorious a Martyr of Christ was slaine by the coommandement of King Henrie the eighth in the yeere of our Lord one thousand five hundred thirty five Whence I thus argue To his evasion that it was not the same Oath See the answer p. 119. letter R. and the Appendix p. 141. Either Fisher and Moore were no Martyrs who died for refusing to take this Oath or they are no good Papists who take it But Fisher and Moore were famous and glorious Martyrs in the opinion of the Romane Church as hath beene prooved Ergo they who take the Oath of Supremacie are no good Papists 4. Fourthly from the confession of this Priest pag. 118. The Oath of Supremacie when it was made in the dayes of King Henry 8. was unlawfull to be taken by any Catholique and pag. 119. If any had sworne the King to be Supreame Head of that Church he would have sworne false as making the Church a monster having two heads or depriving the Pope of his authoritie granted him by God Whence I thus argue The Oath of Supremacie prescribed by that Act of Parliament in the 35. of Henry 8. was unlawfull to be taken by any Roman Catholique as this Priest confesseth But the Oath of Supremacie prescribed by Act of Parliament in the first of Elizabeth in force at this day is the same with the Oath prescribed by Act of Parliament in the 35. of Henrie the eighth as appeareth by comparing both the Oathes together with a proviso in an Act the fifth of Elizabeth for expounding this Oath where it is said That we confesse and acknowledge in her Maiestie her Heires and Successours no other authoritie then that which was challenged and lately used by the noble King Henrie the eighth and King Edward the sixth as in the Admonition to the Qeenes Injunctions more plainly appeares The Queenes Maiestie would that all her loving subiects should understand that nothing was is or shall be meant or intended by the same Oath to have any other Dutie Allegiance or Bond required by the same Oath then was acknowledged to be due to the most noble King of famous memorie King Henrie the eighth her Maiesties father or King Edward the sixt her Maiesties brother Ergo the Oath of Supremacie prescribed by Act of Parliament the first of Elizabeth is unlawfull to be taken by any Romane Catholique I conclude therefore super tota materia that the taking of the Oath of Supremacie is an abrenunciation of the Romish faith and consequently that we wrong no Papist that takes the Oath if we beleeve him a forswearer who forsweares his beliefe De memorando irrotulat● * The Hel●esaus w●re cond●mned for heretikes for hol●ing a man might deny his faith with his mouth so hee keepe it in his heart Euseb. h●st l. 6. c. 31. a Rom. 10.10 Cic. pro 〈◊〉 Am●r vultu saepe lad●tur 〈◊〉 Ep. ●● contami●ari se 〈…〉 a●am illam vid●●i● 〈◊〉 ibid.
