A02680	Exile exiled Occasioned by a mandat from Rome, procured by Tho. Flemming alias Barnwell, archb. of Dublin, and friar of the Order of S. Francis, from the Congregation of Cardinalls De propagandâ fide, for the banishment of Paul Harris out of the Diocesse of Dublin. By Paul Harris Priest.	Harris, Paul, 1573-1635?	1635 (1635)	STC 12811; ESTC S119022	32,749	61

that there wants not of these Countreyes in the Citty who are able to translate them into Italian This Congregation of Cardinalls I confesse have a glorious stile conferred upon them by his Hol. as to be Propagators advancers promoters of the Faith but surely their endeavors will never answere unto those honorable titles so long as giving eare to a company of turbulent malecontent Friars they shall seeke to disturb the peace tranquillity of those Kingdomes over or in which they have no principality I say by exercising a secular power over those who are none of their subiects For as his Majesty of Great Brittaine never attempted to exile any of the Popes subjects out of Rome or any other his Territoryes so neither ought they to banish any of his Majesties liege people either out of this or that City Province or Diocesse but to know their owne bounds and not to transgresse the same And truly were I either wise or learned I would endeavour to perswade those most eminent L. Cardinalls in acknowledgment of their error either to send an Embafsadour unto his Majesty or at least to direct a deprecatory Epistle unto him by which he might be induced to passe over that injurious entrenchment upon his Crowne Dignity And alas what lesse can they doe This truly would be a cōmendable act beseeming their greatnesse and answerable unto their high titles by this meanes the Faith might either be propagated or certs lesse scandalized And it may be hoped that in so generous a brest of our renowned Soveraigne it would find both a gentle admittance and remittance And as for the faithfull people here mentioned Surely as many as be of understāding capacity who I cōfesse are not the greatest part of your flock doe well see discerne that all these machinations of the Friars against Harris proceed meerely from malice who for his desire zeale of their reformation as well in their corrupt manners in life as abhominable errors in doctrine doe labour by all meanes to ruinate undoe him But P.H. is confident that Qui habitat in adjutorio altissimi in protectione Dei coeli commor abitur Hee that dwells in the helpe of the highest shall remaine in the protection of the God of Heaven Neither is he better then his predecessors so many worthy Prelats and Priests who for seeking to reforme abuses among Monkes Friars have suffered at their hands extreame persecutiō not alwayes ad exiliū but sometimes ad sanguinē Examples whereof both ancient and moderne our Ecclesiasticall Historyes doe recount And it is no smal comfort unto P.H. and an affront to his adversaryes that his bookes being by the Friars presented unto the Roman Censors and by them read perused tryed sifted bolted yet came off as Gold from the fire without the least note obeliske or asteris ke of reproofe which is also no small honour unto our holy Faith because hereby those who are otherwise perswaded in matters of doctrine may plainely see that the Catholique Church maintaines none of those fooleryes which the Friars profructu ventris doe daylie vent and were largely confuted in his aforesaid Booke It followeth in the Epistle And that some scandall arise not by meanes of this order your Lordship may give unto the said Bishop when he receiveth this enclosed such advertisements informations as you shall thinke fitting for prevention thereof But no advertisements or informations that Dublinensis could give seemed sufficiēt to Medensis to the prevention of scandall maturely considering that it was a thing impossible without notorious scandall indictâ causâ to banish a Priest out of the Diocesse wherein hee hath his habitation his friends acquaintance and benefactors and that in a continued residence of more then 20. yeeres and to be sent into Pontus I mean to uncouth unknowne places where being separated from his friends wel-willers he may with lesse difficulty have his throat cut by a malicious Friar or some suborned Wood-kerne O! but Harris might passe into his native Countrey of England True indeed and so he may but not for sic volo sic jubeo of a Prelate though as yet he is not so minded these 20. yeeres of a continued absence having made him well-neere as much a stranger in his owne Countrey as in the County of Tirconnell where as yet he never set foot Such are the fruites of time whose nature is as the Poet Menander saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to procure oblivion No no with the good leave of the State P. H. now of the age of 63. hath set up his rest and is resolved to say of Ireland and in particular of this Diocesse of Dublin Hic habitabo quoniam elegi eam Heere will I dwell for that I have made choyse thereof till such time as his better part bee translated into a better habitation Againe the Lo. Bishop of Meath no doubt doth well consider that a banishment inflicted without an examination of the cause without the bill of the Plaintiff and answer of the Defendant can not but be most injurious illegall and so by the same non-sense of a nolo that a party is removed from this Diocesse of Dublin he may also be excluded from any other Diocesse and so consequently out of all Christendome for that there is no place in any Countrey of the Christian world but is contained in some Diocesse and so perforce must bee cōpelled to live either vpon the Seas or among Turkes and Infidells Lastly the Lo. B of Meath had good cause to refuse to be imployed in such a piece of service viz. to pronounce sentence of exile against any of the Kings Subjects for hee being a Do. of that famous Vniversity of Sorbon as by profession a Divine so also seene in the Canons Lawes of holy Church doth well understand that Exile is a punishment beyond the spheare of Episcopall jurisdiction proper to the Crowne and not to the Miter and accordingly to be managed by the Secular and not by the Spiritual arme So S. Bernard in his 5. booke De consideratione unto Pope Eugenius tells us That as the Keyes belong unto the Prelats so the Sword unto the Civill Magistrate Forsitan tuo nutu non tua manu evaginandus Peradventure by your will sayth he not by your hand to be unsheathed Which doctrine is layde downe and canonized in the Decretals of Gregory lib. 5. de Cler. excom tit 27. cap. 2. Si quis presbyter aut alius clericus fuerit degradatus aut ab officio pro certis criminibus suspensus ipse per contemptum superbiam aliquid de ministerio sibi interdicto agere praesumpserit postea ab Episcopo suo correptus in incepta praesumptione perduraverit modis omnibus excommunicetur quicunque-cum co communicaverit similiter se sciat esse excommunicatum Similiter de Clericis Laicis vel foeminis excommunicatis observandumest Quod si aliquis omnia ista
