of being chosen heire unto that foole Impostor in his dignity of a Prophet made it one of his first works to dispoile poor Aliffe the Nephew of Mahomet and heire of his great riches taking al from him by this pretence That unto whom belonged the Succession in wisdome unto him also belonged the Succession in wealth And this grew presently to be a famous question among the Doctors of the Saracen Law But howsoever it were then decided we see now the Muphti or high Prelate who is the only Oracle among the Turkes in Spirituall matters lives and holds all that he hath at the discretion of the great Sultan Neverthelesse it should seeme that the doctrine of Abubachar hath not lost all force for the examples are many in all Saracen Lands of Prophets or deceivers which got that name that never rested untill they became Kings The Seriph in Barbarie was one of the last who having once acquired the opinion of an holy Man afterward found means to become a Captain and Lord of a small Territory And finally increased his followers and withall his bounds so fast and so far as having made himself King of Morocca he had the grace to tell the King of Fessy lately his Soveraigne that both Fesse and all Kingdomes in those parts were belonging to his own holinesse and this he made good by winning all sooner after Whether the claime which the Popes laid to a Supremacie over all Kingdomes and estates had not affinity with the principle of Abubachar Let other men Judge that their practises to mainetaine it have been sutable to those of Seriffo all Historians doe testifie For when Pope Gregory the second procured the Citie of Rome and some other places in Italie to Rebell against the Emperour Leo the third what other colour used he then that himself had Excommunicated Leo as an ungodly Prince for breaking downe Images that were worshipped in Churches when for this treason Paul the Exarch Leiutenant unto the Emperour besieged Rome with the assistance of Lueitpraud King of the Lumbards by what other art did the Pope remove the siege then by perswading the Lumbard with a Tale of Peter and Paul that had consecrated the Citie of Rome with their pretious blood Thus was devotion made the Cloake for treason And thus did the Popes first slip their necks out of the Emperours coller Within very few years after this by the like Religious pretext were those Princes of France Charls Martell Pepine and Charlemaine won to assist the Papacie against the Lumbards yea to give unto St. Peter the most of those Lands which the Pope now holds in Italie And not restore them to the Emperour from whom the Lumbards had gotten them And thereunto Pepine was perswaded for his Souls health Yet had Pope Zachary through the opinion that went of his holinesse done a notable good office for Pepine before when he Released the Frenchmen of their Oath to King Chilperick And was the cause that Pepine was chosen in his stead by saying That rather he should be King who did the Kings duty then he that did it not In like manner did Pope Leo recompense the benefits of Charlemaine by setting him up as Emperour in the West against those of Constantinople But in these mutuall offices the Popes did only help with gracefull words to adorne that might which Pepine and Charlemaine had before acquired Whereas these Kings used force of arms to erect the papacy in Principallity That was held yet in vassallage unto themselves Now this could not satisfie the ambition of that See which gloried falsly to be the only See Apostolique For as the Reputation of the Romane Prelats grew up in those blind ages under the Westerne Emperours much faster then true piety could raise it in former times when better Learning had flourished So grew up in them withall a desire of amplifying their power that they might be as great in temporall forces as mens opinion have formed them in spirituall matters Immediately therefore upon the death of Charlemaine they began to neglect the Emperours consent in their Elections And finding in them that afterwards reigned of the house of France either too much patience or too much weakenesse they were bold within seaventy years to decree That in the Creation of Popes the Emperour should have nothing at all to doe Having obteined this It followed that they should make themselves Lord over the whole Clergie in all Kingdomes But the worke was great and could not be accomplished in hast for they were much disturbed at home by the People of Rome who seeing about Fifty Popes or rather as mainetainers of the Papacie would now have them called Monsters to succeed one another and attaine by the faction of Cut-throats and Strumpets St. Peters Chaire despised that hypocrisy which the world abroad did Reverence as holinesse Likewise the Empire falling from the line of Charles to the mighty house of Saxonie was so strongly upheld by the first Princes of that race as it greatly curbed the ambition of those aspiring Prelats Yet no impediment could alwaies be of force to withstand the violence of seeming sanctity The Polonians Hungarians and some other farre removed Nations had yeilded themselves in subjection more then meerely spirituall even to those Popes whom Italie knew to be detestable men As for the Romane Citizens they were chastised by the sword and taught to acknowledge the Pope their Lord though they knew not by what right Long it was indeed ere they could with much adoe be throughly tamed Because they knowing the Lewdnesse of their Prelate and his Court their devotion unto him the trade by which now they live was very small Because also they were the Popes domesticall forces against which no Prince doth happily contend But finally the Popes Armes prevailed or when his owne were too weake the Emperours and other friends were helping Contrariwise against Emperours and other Princes the sword of the people even of their owne Subjects hath been used by teaching all Christians in our Westerne world a false Lesson That it is lawfull and meritorious to rebell against Kings excommunicated and deposed by the Pope This curse was first laid upon the Emperour Henry the fourth by Pope Hildebrand or Gregory the seaventh It is true as I said before that Leo of Constantinople had felt the same though not in the same sort For Leo being excommunicated was not withall deposed only he suffered a revolt of some Italian Subjects And one may say That the Germane Empire deserved this plague Since the founder thereof had given countenance to the Popes Rebelling against their Soveraigns the Emperours of Constantinople Howsoever it were when Hildebrand had accursed and cast downe from his throne Henry the fourth there were none so hardy as to defend their Injured Lord against the Counterfeited name of St. Peter Wherefore he was faine to humble himselfe before Hildebrand upon whom he waited three daies beare footed in the Winter ere he
