A REPLY TO AN ANSVVERE MADE BY A POPISH ADVERSARIE TO the two Chapters in the first part of that Booke which is intituled a Friendly Advertisement to the pretended Catholickes in Ireland WHEREIN Those two points concerning his Majejesties SUPREMACIE and the RELIGION established by the Lawes and Statutes of the Kingdome be further justified and defended against the vaine cavils and exceptions of that Adversarie By CHRISTOPHER SIBTHORP Knight one of His Majesties Iustices of His Court of Chiefe Place within the same Realme PROVER 24.21 Feare the Lord the King medle not with thē that are seditious DVBLIN Printed by the Societie of STATIONER ●● Anno Domini 1625. TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE MY VERIE GOOD LORD HENRY LORD VISCOVNT FAVLKLAND LORD DEPVTIE of Ireland AT the divulging of my former Booke Right Honorable there were many great and vaunting speeches uttered by the pretended Catholickes as if forthwith or at least very speedily it should have beene fully and sufficiently answered And indeede within a while after came forth an answere not to the whole Booke but onely to a part thereof namely to the first two Chapters contayned in the first part of it made by one that calleth himselfe Iohn at Stile who knowing as it seemeth the weakenesse of his owne answere therein promised a better and further answere that should then shortly come forth to the whole Booke which should be so substantially done as that it should be suteable and correspondent to the three Conditions required by me This maner of answer to the whole booke promised so long since is the thing that I have all this while expected in expectation whereof I have hitherto deferred to publish a Reply to any other answere But having now thus long expected it in vaine not knowing when it wil appeare or whether ever or never I thinke it not amisse in the interim to reply to that answere which marcheth and masketh under the name of Iohn at Stile as having no other nor better as yet to reply unto Where first of all it were fit to learne what this mans right and proper name is But because hee is so loth to declare it I care not much to know it for it is not somuch the man as the matter he delivereth that I regarde Howbeit for his owne credite and the credite of his cause if any credite had belonged unto it it had beene much better for him to have put no name at all unto that his worke then a wrong false and counterfeit name as hee hath done For if in the verie first entrance hee thus misdemeaneth himselfe and feareth not to utter so great an untruth What good dealing or sincere truth may we expect from him in the residue of his discourse Wherein also whilst hee strived to make more hast then good speede hee hath shewed himselfe to bee like canis festinans caecos edens catulos For howsoever he thrusteth himselfe forward and will needs take upon him to be Iohannes ad oppositum yet he speaketh very little or nothing ad propositum Insomuch that sundry by reason of the futilitie and frivolousnes of that his answere have thought it not worthy or meete to bee replied unto Neverthelesse because all be not of that understanding and judgement as to bee able to discerne the frivolousnes and weakenesse of it and that the pretended Catholickes doe for their parts so highly esteeme approve and applaude it for Regnat inter caecos Luscus and for that I am also therein so particularly touched and taxed but chiefly and especially for that Gods Religion and his Majesties Supremacie which two things ought ever to be most deare unto us all be there purposely and professedly encountred and oppugned I could doe no lesse in good dutie and for all these respects but make and publish this my Reply unto it for the further confirmation of the Protestants in those two maine and most weightie points for the further confutation also conviction of the Papists making them yet more and more inexcusable if after so cleare abundant evidence of truth and consequently against all good Conscience they will still bee wilfull stubborne and unreformed herein which yet I trust they will not be For they know that durum est contra stimulos calcitrare Act. 9.5 Act 5.29 Proverb 21.30 and that there is no hope that ever they shall or can prevaile that be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is Fighters and Contenders against God and his Religion or any of his Sacred and Divine Ordinances Yea in such a case what is fitter then duro nodo durus cuneus And so sayth Tertullian Tertul. lib. cont Gnostic cap 21. Aug. Epist. 48. Epist 204. that duritia vincenda est non suadenda and this rule S. Augustine also giveth teacheth that men in error are first to be taught admonished and instructed but if after all this they will notwithstanding without any ground of sufficient reason be and continue perverse and obstinate then must terror punishment and coactive Lawes be put in execution for the reclayming of them For Qui Phreneticum ligat Lethargicū excitat ambobus molestus ambos amat saith the same S. Augustine But of this point concerning the authoritie of the Regall Civill sword and power coactive to be extended against refractary and contemptuous offenders aswell in matters Ecclesiasticall and touching Religion as in matters temporall and concerning the Common-wealth more is spoken in my former Booke and in this also afterward upon occasion given by mine Adversarie and therefore I shall not neede heere to speake any further of it especially to your Lordshippe whose wisedome can and doth easily perceive not onely how lawfull but how expedient requisite and necessary also it is to be extended and used in his due time and place These things Right Honorable I am humbly bould to Dedicate unto your Lordshippe Both because unto you it is that under his most Excellent Majestie the chiefe care of matters concerning the good of this Kingdome doth appertayne And because also such is knowne to be your noble and pious disposition as that a worke of this sorte you are ever most readie and willing to accept and patronize God if it be his will convert the Papists of this Kingdome from their errors to his truth and preserve your Lordshippe to his glorie the good of his Church the benefit of this Common-weale and to the increase of your owne honor in this life and to your everlasting happinesse in the life to come through IESVS CHRIST Amen Your Lordshippes humble at Commandement Christopher Sibthorp TO THE Reader I Doubt not courteous Reader but you well remember that in the conclusion of my former Booke I desired of him that would make Answere thereunto these three things First that he would answere it not by parts or peece-meales but wholy and intirely from the beginning of it to the end Secondly that he would doe it not superficially
