decernit And Ecclesiasticks should not so sinisterly interpret a law made for a publike necessitie it being so conformable to equitie and iustice and say that it was made to make them inferiors to base and illiberall men they might rather haue said it would be farre better that they would liue conformable to the Apostles But will they then peraduenture alledge Act. 4. that the Apostles themselues selling all their possessions distributing them to the poore were of worser quality and condition then the most infamous sort of men Shall so many fraternities of Regulars which possesse nothing be reputed infamous or vile And if they answer that they doe thus voluntarily it may be replied that voluntarie or not voluntarie make some difference indeed about the being meritorious or vertuous but not about the being honorable or base For this purpose there is a Canon worthie of consideration De consec distin 1. c. vasa wherein it is said Bonifacius martyr Episcopus interrogatus si liceret in vasculis ligneis sacramenta conficere respondit quondam sacerdotes aurei ligneis calicibus vtebantur nunc Ã¨ contrario lignei sacerdotes aureis vtuntur calicibus But let them be contented willingly with that which they haue which is so far aboue their share and so we shal quickly be at a point The example of Moyses is worthy of imitation in chap. 36 of Exodus who hauing exhorted the people to offer vp gold siluer and other precious things for the building of the Temple when there was more offered then was conuenient he appointed by a publike proclamation that no body should offer any more And we may adde vnto all this an other reason also If by these lawes the Ecclesiasticall libertie were infringed then by the Lawes Pontificall also which prohibite the Ecclesiasticks to alienate any thing to Seculars the Secular libertie should be iniuried and by this meanes they might make Lawes to take away other mens libertie and they might not doe the like againe vnto them and this reason is so much the more preualent in that Laie possessions though they might not be passed ouer to the Clergie yet the price thereof might be conueied and with licence the goods themselues by a iust sale but the Ecclesiasticks can not alienate vpon any gratuite bargaine whatsoeuer nor sell nor change but with good gaine and aduantage and if the Seculars which haue more reason complaine not of this why should they grieuously complain for a matter of farre lesse consequence I will finish this point with this saying That before the yeere 400 of our sauing health Valentinian Valent and Gratian made a Law C. Theod. de ep cler l. 20. That the Clergie might not purchase any thing of women the which law was also put in vre by Saint Damase Bishop of Rome in those daies when it was published it being openly proclaimed and also for a long time after it was obserued in Rome and S. Ierome who makes mention of it in his Epistle to Nepotianus saith he found no fault with the law because the Clergie had worthily deserued it but onely he grieued at their auarice which had giuen Princes iust occasion to make such an one There was such a like law also made in Saxonie by Charlemaine of famous memorie which was long obserued and kept In the yeere 1300 Polyd. l. 13. Hist Anglicae Edward the Third King of England made a law precisely conformable to this and though the Clergie resisted yet was it for all that put in execution De cont t. d. 2. 140. l. 2. t. 8. Â§. Lodouicke Molina testifieth in the ordinances of Portugall that there was a law made that Churches and Monasteries might not either by sale donation or succession purchase any thing stable to the end that Ecclesiasticall reuenues and possessions might not immeasurablie encrease to the preiudice of the Laietie he further adding that in other kingdomes of Spaine also the same law was in force Certaine it is Petr. Bolug in spe princ R. 13. C. that Iames king of Arragon constituted in the kingdomes subiect to that Crowne that Realenco goods for so they tearme them which hold in capite or pay any thing to the King might not be demized ouer to the Clergie without the Kings licence In France the same law was enacted by S. Lewes which was a strange matter and afterwards successiuely confirmed by Philip the Third Philip the Faire Hen. 17. c. by Charles the Faire by Charles the Fift by Frances the First by Henry the Second by Charles the Ninth and by Henry the Third And yet the Common-wealth of Venice now three hundred yeeres since hauing made the same law for her Citie and Duchie we can say no lesse but that the extention of the same ouer her whole State and Dominion is an innouation seeing Saluius Guilianus answers Omnes debere sequileges consuetudines vrbis Romae as the Emperour Iustinian reporteth C. de vet iur enuel Â§. sed etsi And in Sicilia the yeere 1296 King Fredericke as it is written in the Capitular of that kingdome made a law of the selfe same forme that the same of Venice is in the yeere 1536 but that it giues the respite but of a yeere onely Pius Quintus in like maner in the towne of Bosco where he was borne hauing built there a great Monasterie because the towne might not come to decay he prohibited for euer the Clergie to buie any thing of the Laietie and Clement the Eight perceiuing how much the house of Loreto possessed for preseruation to the Laietie he forbad them to buie any more And in Genoa also there is a generall Constitution that all goods should be tied to the Common-wealth so as they might not be alienated to the Clergie Peraduenture some will answer that Pope Clement made such a law as a temporall Prince hauing first asked leaue of himselfe as he was Pope to doe so A very profound consideration indeed but yet not conformable to the solide morall and diuine doctrine which teacheth that God hauing giuen the gouernment of a State to him that is Prince thereof with independent power in things temporall he hath also giuen him authoritie of himselfe and without the licence and permission of any body else to make all those lawes which are necessary to maintaine it We neuer finde that God made any precept or commandement which to performe we must needs haue leaue of an other In things indifferent or good so they be liberall and free it may so occurre that an error may be coÌ„mitted against the superiors will but for those which are expresly commanded by God that which S. Peter sayth doth touch them neere Obedire oportet Deo magis quÃ m hominibus Act. 5. If God sayd to a Prince Make those lawes which are necessarie for publike peace and tranquillitie and if thou failest herein I will be offended with thee and yet we must

needs haue licence to obey him and licence being required whereas without non licet shall not then that which God commands be lawfull Nature in all her finall drifts giueth also such faculties and powers as are necessarie for the atteining to the same and shall God set downe an end and commandement which can not be executed without the fauour of men This is too great an inconuenience But let vs returne to the matter of the same law the which as it is in it selfe no new inuention so the most famous Ciuilians haue discussed of the same and defended it for iust and amongst others there is Baldus the Archdeacon the Abbat Signarolus Alexander Bal. c. qua in ecclesiarum c. ecclesia S.

Peter committing them to his charge the which things only were practised by him as also by the holy Martyrs his successots and the holy Confessors also which succeeded them from time to time but not in such a maner as the darknesse succeeds the light In the sacred Scriptures wee learne that the glorie of God consisteth in the propagation of the Gospell and in good Christian life 2. Cor. 4. and in briefe as S. Paul speaks in the mortification of the externall man in the life of the internall and in the exercise of charitable deeds For if the glorie of God should lie in the abundance of Temporall goods we might haue iust cause to be afrayd of our selues seeing Christ hath promised to his nothing but pouertie Iohn 15. persecutions discommodities and to conclude as the same vulgar know very well troubles and want are the true trials of the ftiends of God Math. 8. and no man sayth the Gospell followes Christ but after he hath taken vpon his shoulders his owne crosse That which by some one hath beene dispersed in diuers places and to many persons is very different from the doctrine of S. Paul which is 1. Cor. 15. That it can not be seene wherein this city can be so truly commended for religion for though almes and charitable deeds towards the poore abound in the same as also ornaments of the Church and worship diuine yet for all this the very substance of a Christian consisteth in fauouring the Ecclesiasticall iurisdiction and in Venice we see the contrarie to this 1. Cor. 15. The saying of S. Paul is Si tradidero corpus meum ita vt ardeam charitatem autem non habuero nihil sum We reade in the holy Euangelists that our Sauiour in the day of iudgment will demand an account of the wicked for not hauing vsed the works of
