was so poore that he was faine to borrow those Cattell as some Doctors doe expound it the reason is for that if hee would haue taken vpon him the Authoritie of a Prince he would not haue said Opus habet but Dominus ita praecipit or some other such like To conclude they which iudge this proposition of ours hard to bee prooued doe say generally that Christ when hee entred triumphantly into Ierusalem the day of the Palmes tooke vpon him the Authoritie of a temporall Prince Whereupon the Euangelist alledgeth the prophecie Ecce Rex tuus venit tibi sedens super asinam super pullum filium asinae but hee that considereth the matter may perceiue that albeit our Sauiour was the promised King and Messias yet entring into Ierusalem in that base and abiect sort he shewed not to take vpon him the Authoritie of a Prince temporall but rather as hee said to Pilate that his Kingdome was not of this world but spirituall and eternall for temporall Kings enter into the Cities of their Kingdomes in an other maner of Pompe then Christ did sitting vpon an Asse and an Asses Colt ¶ The third Proposition OVr Lord Iesus Christ hauing neuer vsed the Authoritie of a temporall Prince it may not be said that hee left this Authoritie to S. Peter and his successors which are his Vicars seeing the Vicar is neuer more then his principall Wherupon Soto treating vpon this point lib. 4. Sententiarum and Cardinall Bellarmine de Autoritate Papae say that they wonder at the Canonists that they durst without any reason or authoritie of the New Testament affirme Quod Papa sit Dominus totius orbis directè in temporalibus A doctrine indeede ill founded and scandalous I know well that some besides the Canons which as humane Lawes in concurrencie with the Diuine can haue no equall Authoritie doe say that Tho. Aquinas lib. de Regimine Principum Cap. 10. 19. affirmeth the Pope to bee Dominus totius Orbis in temporalibus inspiritualibus But that Booke is not his as Cardinal Bellarmine sheweth li. de potestate Papae For besides other assured coniectures this is one That in that Booke lib. 3. cap. 20. he makes mention of the Succession of Adolphus the Emperour after Rodulphus and of Albertus after Adolphus which were the first Anno 1292. The second 1299. And Tho. Aquinas died Anno 1274. They cite moreouer an other place of Thom. Aqui. lib. 2. sent distin 44. where he saith Esse in summo pontifice apicem vtriusque potestatis Temporalis Spiritualis But he that reads the Text may see that Thomas was of a contray opiniō for hauing said that in matters Temporall the Temporall Prince ought rather to be obeyed then the Spirituall and in matters meerely Spiritual rather the Spirituall then the Temporall hee concludes that if it were not the Pope who hauing in the Prouinces subiect vnto him both Iurisdictions hee ought of his subiects to bee equally obeyed in the one and the other To weaken the force of this our Proposition some say that Pope Alexander 6. diuided the Indies to the Kings of Spaine and of Portugale Because hee as Christs Vicar was the naturall Temporall Prince therof and that Pope Leo 3. gaue the Empire of the West to Charles the great by the same reason But these men are very much deceiued sith Alexander not as Lord of the Indies but as Compromissary Iudge elected betwixt the Kings to appease and quench the flames of Discord by sentence determined that the seas should be diuided and that the Armadoes of the one should passe through one of those seas and the other through the other and that whatsoeuer was gotten or cōquered on either side Iure belli should be the Conquerers according to the diuision made by him as the Historians of that time report T is true that Leo 3. being chased from the See of Rome and reestablished by Charles the great caused the people to proclaime him Emperour as Platin saith which act the Historians doe attribute to the people of Rome who seeing the Empire euill gouerned by the Grecians Iure antiquo did elect an other Emperour Now they say that Charles being Patron of the State bought the title thereof of Irene and Nicephorus that were Emperours and that Irene Nicephorus were content therewith In summe be it as it will it is certaine that the Pope being driuen from his seat and being possessour of nothing gaue no Empire to Charles who already Iure belli was Patron thereof And that he gaue him the absolute title thereof it is not a thing certaine and if it were yet it may bee answered aswell in this case as in others alledged against our Propositiō that the Pope not hauing from Christ any authority in Temporall things as hath beene and shal be said more cleerely in the next Proposition if hee haue taken to him any such authoritie or hath done it by consent of the interessed or for that hee hath any Temporall power by any of the foure meanes aforesayd yet for all this hence it is not proued that he hath direct authoritie in Temporall things from our Sauiour Christ And besides many things are done by many men whereof if it be sought Quo iure they doe them it will not easily be found ¶ The fourth Proposition THe authoritie promised by Christ to Saint Peter vnder the Metaphor of the Keyes is meerely Spirituall Tibi dabo claues Regni Coelorum hee saith not Regni terrarum and reason teacheth that which is read in the Hymne of the Church Non Eripit mortalia quia regna dat Coelestia for the Temporall kingdome and the Monarchie was founded from the beginning by God the great Monarch of the world in what sort that should bee gouerned So that Christ our Sauiour did not found the Monarchie Temporall It remayneth then to say that hee founded the Spirituall which is plainely seene in Saint Ioh. cap. 20. where he hauing said Omnis potestas data est mihi in Coelo in terra yet giueth hee it to the Apostles and amongst them to Saint Peter limited and with reseruation Insufflauit in eos dixit Accipite Spiritum Sanctum quorum remiseritis peccata remittuntur ijs quorum retinueritis retenta sunt where both by the act that Christ doth by the words he speakes is gathered that the authority of the Pope is Spirituall and ouer sinne and only ouer soules according to the wordes of that prayer of the Church to Saint Peter Qui beato Petro potestatem animas ligandi atque soluendi tradidisti the which is limited as is said yea the authoritie of Excommunication giuen to Saint Peter is conditionall Math. 18. Si frater tuus in te peccauerit Ecclesiam non audiuerit sit tibi sicut Ethnicus Publicanus In the which place our Sauiour giueth authoritie to Excommunicate but the sinne and obstinacie in the sinne presupposed ¶ The fift Proposition
