Quality soever though King Duke c. they be Excommunicated and deprived of all their Secular Honour and Dignity And in the Bull of Pope Martin the 5th read and approved in that Council All Professors of the Christian and Catholick Faith the Emperor Kings Dukes c. are required to expel all Hereticks out of their Kingdoms and Provinces according to the Canon Sicut ait c. That is the abovesaid Canon of the 3d Lateran Council The Council of Trent The Emperors Kings Dukes c. and all Temporal Lords of what Title soever who shall grant a place for Duelling among Christians within their Lands should for that Cause be deprived of the Dominion of the City Castle or Place in which they permitted the Duel to be 4. The Church of Rome doth exempt the Clergy from Temporal Jurisdiction So The 3 d General Lateran Council Because some Laicks do compel Ecclesiastical Persons and also Bishops themselves to appear before their Judgment-seat We do therefore decree that such be separated from the Communion of the Faithful who shall presume from henceforward so to do The 4 th General Council of Lateran Some Laicks do too much usurp upon Divine Right when they do compel Ecclesiastical Persons holding nothing Temporal from them to take an Oath of Allegiance to them But because according to the Apostle the Servant doth stand or fall to his own Master We do forbid by the Authority of the Sacred Council That such Clerks be compelled to take this kind of Oath to Secular Persons See further the Bull of Pope Leo the 10 th read in the 5 th General Council of Lateran And the Council of Trent which doth ratify all Canons made in their favour The Opposition The Church of England The Church of Rome 1. The King hath chief power 1. The Pope hath Power over Kings to Excommunicate Depose c. 2. The King hath power over all persons 2. Ecclesiastical persons are exempted from Secular Jurisdiction 3. The Bishop of Rome hath no power in the Kings Dominions And the power he challengeth is usurpation 3. The Bishop of Rome is the Universal Pastor 4. The King is not to be resisted 4. The Pope can give power to resist Sovereign Princes and can absolve Subjects from their Allegiance As the Opposition in this matter is evident betwixt Church and Church so we look upon the one to be no less the Doctrine of the Church of Rome than the other is the Doctrine of the Church of England For 1. It 's notoriously manifest That the Church of Rome hath both owned such Principles and proceeded according to those Principles in Excommunicating and Deposing Kings in limiting their Jurisdiction and Absolving Subjects from their Allegiance 2. It is manifest That the several branches of Authority fore-recited and claimed by that Church are grounded upon the Canons of what they call General Councils And that all in the Communion of that Church are bound to own and receive these Principles is evident since they are decreed by the same Councils and after the same manner as the Doctrine of Transubstantiation it self and so are equally to be received with it by all the Members of that Church Thus far I have traced the Disagreement between the Church of England and Rome according to the order observed in the 39 Articles and I might proceed to shew the Opposition between them in many other points such as the sufficiency of Attrition with Absolution the necessity of Auricular Confession the Adoration of the Cross the Images made of God and the Trinity the Guardianship ascribed to Angels and Saints over Places Professions c. The Pilgrimages to Images and Relicks the Miracles pretended to be wrought by them The Religious states of Life and their Vows of Poverty and Obedience Their particular Ceremonies in the Mass and Baptism their Limbus's c. But this will be too tedious and indeed somewhat unnecessary considering how evident it has been already made not to say with some clearness demonstrated that there is an irreconcilable difference between the two Churches about those points to use our Authors words wherein the very life of Popery consists and the whole System of that Religion is founded And as now I may leave it to his skill to try whether he can with a Dictum factum patch up a Cassandrian Peace presently between them So I shall leave it to the Readers Judgment even those he calls the unwary Readers of Books whether we have left us nothing but the name and shadow of a Protestant Church of England as he affirms or whether the Doctrine of the Protestants be any where to be found if not in the Church of England And for this purpose I shall present the Reader with the sum of what has been said upon this Argument A brief Scheme of the Difference betwixt the Doctrine of the Church of England and the Church of Rome as set forth in the foregoing Treatise Sufficiency of Scripture The Church of England teacheth THe Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to Salvation so that whatsoever is not read therein nor may be proved thereby is not to be required of any man that it should be received as an Article of Faith or be thought requisite or necessary to Salvation p. 15. The Church of Rome holdeth THe Holy Scripture doth not contain all saving Truth but there are certain Traditions not written which the Church is to have recourse to for it as well as the written Books And such Traditions are to be received and regarded with the like Piety and Reverence as the Books of the Old and New Testament Canonical Books The Church of England teacheth No Books are to be received as Canonical but Genesis c. that is the 39 Books of the Old Testament and the New. And as for the 13 Books commonly called Apocrypha tho the Church doth read them for Example of Life and Instruction of Manners yet She doth not apply them to establish any Doctrine The Church of Rome holdeth The Books commonly called Apocrypha viz. Tobias c. are as Canonical and as truly the Word of God as the five Books of Moses c. And whosoever doth not so receive them is accursed Scripture in a known Tongue The Church of England teacheth There is in Scripture whatsoever is meet for all ages and sorts of Men and so the Books of it ought to be much in their Hands Eyes and Hearts And none are Enemies to the reading of it but such as are ignorant or ungodly that would wish the People still to continue in blindness and ignorance of God p. 15. The Church of Rome holdeth If the Scripture be permitted to be read every where in the Vulgar Tongue more prejudice than benefit doth redound from it And therefore it 's fit that the People be deprived altogether of it nor so much as suffered to have Summaries or Historical Abridgments of it Church Authority
