Vbi periculū Dist 63. c. Obeuntibus Pope Innocent did appoynt in a Councell holden at Rome that Byshops shoulde be chosen not only by the Chanons of the mother church but also by other religious Clearkes but nowe contrary to the same the Popes reserue the prouision of y e dignities as of Byshops Archbyshops Patriarches Abbots and such like to himselfe The age of persons that receyue orders now a dayes in the Popes Church althoughe it be done according to the will of the title De aetate qualitate ordinandorum in Clement yet is contrary to the .77 .78 Dist Let this as touching the Chanons suffise for briefenesse sake whiche I in this behalfe busily endeuour Is this the boke that we must beleue as the Gospel Be these the mates to Canonicall Scriptures Is not this to be repugned that repugneth it selfe Or is it to be estéemed or credited as if it were spoken of Peters owne mouth As they for their selues craue credite Vndoubtedly if Peters sermons or epistles had bene as various and contrary as Hereticall and hypocritical as lewde and licentious as the contentes of these Decrées manifestly are the fathers would neuer haue receyued the same as Canonicall but reconed them among the Apocrypha And yet dare the Popistes presume to count them Canonicall and of as greate force as the wordes of Peter And these doe they thrust into heartes and consciences of men vnder the glorious names of Church Fathers Councels Peter Paule and spirite of God onely to the intente that they may throng in after and wring in with their errors supersticions and myssegouernement To this end hath Gratian bene occupied in their Church To this ende hath before him the Heretiques deuisers of the elder Apocrypha writings ben of their father the Diuell vsed Wherefore he is their Ape or sonne that can so handsomely imitate and folow them Therefore I pray thée gentle Reader let him attayne to equall honour with the rest of that preasse And as for Peter his brother authour of the foure bokes of the sentences and therfore commonly called by the name of Master of Sentences he hath many faultes as they themselues confesse and haue condemned at Paris To wéete in his firste boke 4.

Stapleton hath reason or authoritie to saye that a Calfe signifieth Luther I do better say that this monster in the scutchion of this trée doth signifie Gratian and Lombardes works persons and Hell hound harmonte Of whiche monster before I doe speake In these foure lines I aunswere Staphilus that hys Calfe signified their Calues of Rome The Calfe borne in cowle it caried to his graue Then Luther is no Calfe that cast the cowle away For the Calfe in the cowle must signifie euer Such Calfe and such cowle as goe both together Peter Lombarde came to the pride of his estimation 20. yeares after his brother Gratian who as before I sayd was in his ruffe Anno. 1120.

The which to interprete meaneth thus If any Priest Deacon or Subdeacon doth rest in fornication we on the behalfe of almighty God by the authoritie of Sainct Peter forbid such the entrance into the Church vntill they repent and amende But if cōtrarywise they had rather abide in this their sinne then loke that none of you presume to heare any suche mans seruice for their blessing wil turne to a cursse their prayer
Iohn Gualbertus a Florentine began this sect which hath hys certayne agrement with the Benedictes Gregory the seauenth in his time allowed the same Chanons Regularie Anno 1070. ABout this time one Abbot Arnulphus began that order in the dayes as some recken of Pope Alexander the seconde a victorious Champion who ouercame Cadolus Byshop of Parmenion chosen Pope as his better in the plaine field Their wéede is a Sarplar of blacke tied vnder their arme They are as it were the Bollimon of Monkes and Priestes or as Krantz calleth them Regularum irregulatio the misserule of Rules Grandimontenss order Anno. 1080. ABoute that time one Stephanus Gallus who vsed to weare nexte hys bare body vnder a black cowle an habergeon did excogitate this sect out of the Benedictines That crafty Monke Gregorie the seauenth after the accōpt of some writers being Pope and Scholler as they say in Necromancie Carthusian order Anno. 1095. CAme of one Bruno a Coloner who toke occasion of a certaine Doctor that being dead his Corps in the Church abyding the obsequies cried out I am damned by the iust iudgement of God to deuise the same out of the Benedicts These eate onely fysh and no fleshe and vowe silence by rule Cistertiene order Anno. 198. ONe Ardinus or as Polydor sayth Arding an English man and Robert Molismensis began this order of Monkes as Volateranus Sigebertus say Paschalis secundus then being Pope at whose death the Euening or shutting in of the night sodaynly became so bright for an houres space together as that the Moone which then was at the full was altogether vnapperceyued They weare redde shoes a shirt ouer their gowne and their Abbots a Crosier Bernhardes order Anno 1113. THis order S. Bernhard they say began and framed that secte out of the dysorder of the Cistertiens They weare a black Cowle This order went so wel forwarde that in his life time there were .160 houses thereof Duytch Lordes ABout the foresayd time began the order of the Teuthoniks commonly called Duytch Lordes For they are for the moste parte Gentlemen borne whom in this place I remember that in them thou mightst call to minde the warrelike rowte of religious Ruffians They weare a white mantell a blacke Crosse vpon it It is lawfull for them to haue a beard The founder therof was one Gaufredus de Aldemaro This was done in the dayes of Innocentius the seconde who bycause at hys own lust and pleasure he vsed to alter the estate of the Churches in Syria stirred vp great contention and scismes among the byshops there Premonstratenss order Anno. 1140. THe authour thereof was one Nobertus Lotharing Byshop of Laudane who ordeyned them white Chanons to weare a white cowle They are called Chanons Regulars exempted Wilhelmites Anno. 1170. THese be a kinde of Heremites raysed vp by one good Iohn of Mātua Their wede is black Some appoynt it to one Guilihelm byshop of Aquitane Carmelites or white Friers Anno. 1175. THe white Friers firste began about this time in Syria They fayne thēselues to be folowers of Helias in Carmell Mount They vse a blacke weede and a white Mantle or Cope These two sectes began in the dayes of Alexander the thirde of whose goodnesse in part I entreated before Crosse Friers Anno. 1197. THis order called Cruciferers that is to say Crosse cariers beganne in Italie the same time they trauayled barefooted and bareheaded they lodged on the earth and were girded with hempe This was in the dayes of Pope Celestinus the thirde Barefoote Friers Anno. 1205. SAinct Frauncis the Frier of Asininas the sonne of one Peter Barnardine did deuise this order and sect of religion called Gray Friers Begging Friers Barefoote Friers Minors or Franciscanes preaching in a Cowle of whome before I mencioned The colour wherof was Millers Graye on their heades was shauen a large crowne Their Girdle must be full of Knottes They goe a limlyfting in the countrey for their lyuing c. Innocentius the thirde in whose dayes they arose approued them This same Innocentius is he of whome Abbas Vspergens sayth that he vsed to say thus Eyther the Pope must take from Philip his Crovvne or Philip from the Pope his Apostolique Miter Keyes and svvorde And therfore crieth out agaynst Rome Thou hast that thou long thristedst for O Rome soūd thy triumph for thou hast ouercome the world by wickednesse not by religion This swarme excéeded the number of .60000 in the dayes of Sabellicus Trinitie order Anno. 1214. VNder the same Pope thys order began by one Iohn Matta Felice an Ancherite Their apparell and wéede is white a crosse on their breast half red halfe blewe Dominicke or blacke Friers Anno. 1225. THis order was deuised of one Dominicus therfore are called Dominicks preaching or lying Friers blacke Friers begging Friers They weare a black cowle By the meanes of certaine of this broode Henry the Emperor was poysoned in y e cuntrey of Berna Pope Gregorie .ix. helde the chaire of Rome whē as they sprang This Gregorie is he that compiled the fiue bokes of Decretall Epistles This Pope promised life euerlasting to as many of the Emperour Fredericks subiectes as would fight agaynste their Lord. Sabellicus declareth that in his time there were .4143 houses of his broode This thing shoulde séeme true as wel bycause of the credite of the author as otherwise and especially bycause that Helias Ioannes and Albertus did by battayle striue who should be successor to S. Dominicke in his Abbey which they would neuer haue done vnlesse that their kingdome were already big and rich yea and was likelier to be larger and richer Bonne Hōmes THis sect first began here in England at a towne called Ashering in the raygne of King Richarde of Cornevvall whose sonne built the Monasterie They vse girt cowles and blewe hoodes Ladyes order Anno. 1280. ONe Tudent of Florence began this order Their apparell is blacke Celestine order THis secte arose of one Celestinus Eserimnensis who was the fift Pope of that name He beganne the same order after his consecration And after the sixte moneth of his enthronization retourned thither agayne But by the craft of Boniface his successor otherwise called Caietanus who hiering false harlots in the night times to speake thorow trunks to him as by oracles persuaded him to returne for his soules health to the Heremites life Whervpon he resigned his Popedome Notwithstanding he was deceiued of his purpose for his sayd successor by treacherie caused him to be shutte vp as prisoner in the castle called Fumonis where the siely soule ended his life miserably This Caietane is that glorious Monarch and Pope who one solempne day apparelled in his Pontificalibus played the parte appertayning to his office blessed the people with the Apostolique blessing And on an other adourned in the Emperours robes had as
he thereby should declare that he starteth not from that purpose and as they call it non conuolat ad vota directè contraria continentiae did not establish himselfe in the state of matrimony which is direct contrary to their Tatian rules and religion as S. Thomas in the authoritie nexte before alleaged sayth If they shall obiect that in the case of the Decretall the woman consented to relinquishe the right and in Montanus doctrine the seperation and vowe is done without any such consent then to answere the same I alleage that the true meaning and interpretation of the same Chapter according to the coÌ„mon opinion of the Doctors is otherwise who alleage it to proue that the party maried may performe his vowe made before copulation And maugre the will of the other wythout y e consent enter into religion as the same D. praepositê° Cardinal declareth thus Distingue post Gemi Car. Quandoque coniuges contraxerunt non tamen est copula consummatuÌ„ tunc alter inuito alio etiam remanente in saeculo potest religionem intrare remanens in saeculo cum alio coÌ„trahere est casus extra de sponss c. Commissum ibidem de conuer coniug c. Ex publico That is distinguished after the opinion of two Doctours Gemi and Card. that sometymes the husbande and wife haue contracted and not vsed copulation then the one may without the others leaue yea though repugning and tarying in the seculer and worldly estate enter into religion And the partie remaining behinde in the seculer estate they cal it the world may marry As a speciall case in the chapter Commissum c. Ex publico declare In y e which allegation appeareth how the same chapter or Decretall Epistle of Alex. is vnderstanded And to make the practise of these Popists more plaine I wil here briefly rehearse the case of the same chapter Ex publico by the sayde Doctours alleaged which is thus The same Alex 3. writeth to the Byshoppe of the Diocesse of Brixien whome he deputeth his delegate in this matter that by a certayne publique instrument it appeareth to him that whereas the Byshop of Verone toke in hande to determine and ende a cause of matrimony depending betwene a certayne man one A. on the one partie a certayne woman one M. on the other partie he by his diffinitiue sentence approued y e matrimonie and therevpon enioyned the woman that she should betake hir to hir husbande and vse hym with all wifelike and mariageable affection The which thing sith she denied to doe she was by the same Byshop excommunicated The which notwithstanding we commaunde thée sayth the Pope albeit she is maried to the same man and yet remayneth as she sayth vntouched of him that if it appeare that he hath not had companie with her and that she will enter into religion taking of hir sufficiente warrantize or suretie that she shall within the terme of two monethes either go to hir husbande or leauing him choose religion then absolue hir from the sentence of excommunication wherein she standeth in such wise that if she wil enter into religioÌ„ they shall restore eche to other the giftes on eyther side giuen receyued c. It is most playne that the Pope Alex. so fauoreth y e vowed life y t although the parties are by god who worketh the consent of the minde coupled togither yet he dare seperate them contrary to the fayth of Christian religion wherein it is plighted and fastened Surely Paul dareth not doe so For he sayth Let not the maried persons defraude ech other vnlesse it be perhaps for a season and that by both their consentes Agayne Vnusquisque ergo in quo vocatus est fratres in hoc maneat apud Deum that is Brethren let euery man abyde before God in that estate of life vnto the which he is called But it is no maruell that this Pope spake so for he had not the spirite that Paule spake by as their diuers behauiour declareth For Paul called to the office of the Apostleship of the Gentiles neyther shouldred with Barnabas Apollo or anie other Contrarywise the L. Alex. shouldred out Victor Pascall Calixte Innocente or foure other by what name so euer the writers name them all called therto by Gods ordinarie meane the Emperour Paule for the quietnesse of the congregatioÌ„ remitteth of his very right Alex. for his honor resisteth Fredericke the Emperour by force of Armes Paule honoureth all estates of Princes and humbleth himself before Agrippa c But Alex. rideth from the Citie of TotiacuÌ„ to Lingerim with Levves the French king Henrie of England wayting vpon foote as his Pages leading hys Horsse by the brydle the one on the right the other on the lefte hande in great pompe and iolitie yea and causeth the Emperour to lye prostrate before his féete But to returne to our purpose it behoued the Pope so to councel and entice al men by right and by wrong to the vowed life bycause that many withstode him as the sayde Byshop of Veron did Also bycause that else he should séeme to condemne the abstayning life in others and restrayne the same in the cleargie in whome he aboue all others alowed the same and compelled those that should receyue orders to enter into Finally then to conclude for as much as Pope Alex teacheth the departure of the man from the womaÌ„ in the c. Commissum the woman from the man in the sayd c. Ex publico when as gladly the man would kepe his wife in the one case and the wife hir husband in the other case and that bycause they will professe themselues a Monke or a Nunne which is an hereticall secte as shall be declared hereafter No indifferent reader can denie but that the Romanistes or Popistes holding his steppes are Montanistes breaking Gods ordinance and dishonoring the Christian fayth wheron the same contracte is plighted Pelagianes THe Heresie of the Maniches was the ground as Hierome wryteth to this which arose of Pelagiê° also called by sirname Brito or Briton for difference sake of Pelagius Tarrentus as Augustin declareth who being a man of a moste hote earnest zeale was first a godly and good Christian promoted to diuers dignities by the Church is in Syria likewise made Monke But afterwardes fell from the Church and became an Archeheretique and began to sowe the séedes of that wéede about the yeare of our Lorde as Prosper sayth .415 But as Martianus sayth 414. in the .5 yeares of Honorius and Theodosius the Emperours raygnes In diuers places in the East in Fraunce Rome and thence he himselfe came into this realme of Englande to eare our lande wyth the same The principall and chiefest aduauncers of this sect to let other passe was Celestius Iulianus as Augustine declareth and are of the same Celestius who is very famous therein called Celestianes
And in this realme besides Pelagius himself one Seuerianus and Agricola his sonne set forwarde the same about the yeare of our Lorde as Prosper declareth .432 The Heresie that first tooke hold of Pelagius was y t he taught that maÌ„ notwithstanding Adams fall had not lost his frée will but fully and naturally enioyeth the same Of this as of their first beginning whereof they are most famous I call them in their blazone Freevvill Pelagianes and not bicause it is their onely sole heresie For out of it there springeth diuers but speciallye tvvo notable errors no lesse horrible then hurtfull As first concerning originall sinne secondly Iustification Of which two perillous braunches and ranke roote bicause I determine to intreate I wyll procéede on this maner First setting laying a parte the doctrine of y e olde Pelagianes in order as they stand I will secondely couche seuerallye the doctrine of the yong Pelagians the Montanistes before gone next after euery of their fathers faults so that by ech of them fo coupled togither thou better mayst marke howe the yong Cockatrice croweth after the elders note Entring thus vpon the error of frée will Pelagius dicit in libro de libero arbitrio Habemus possibilitatem vtriusque partis a deo insitaÌ„ velut quadam vt ita dicam radicem fructiferam atque foecundam quae ex voluntate hominis diuersa gignat pariat quae possit ad proprij cultoris arbitrium vel nitere flore virtutum vel sentibus horrere vitiorum Pelagius quoth Augustine sayth in his worke that he made for frée will in this wise We possesse a certayne ablenesse and possibilitie to both wayes Which God hath planted in vs lyke as I may say vnto a certayne fruitfull roote which of mans owne will bringeth forth and beareth diuers fruites And the which euen at the pleasure of the tylther thereof can eyther be comely beawtifully arayed with flowers of vertue or else doe the contrarie by bearing bryers or wéedes Whereas in the former part of this treatise I vsed to gather the summe of y e Heresie I shall not néede here in this place to doe so now for that it is summary brief and playne ynough But as I before promised so I will here annexe the opinion of the Popists after suche maner as they accusing and confuting one another shall both bewray their Felowes and condemne themselues The yeare anno 1563. there came forth a booke printed in the shop of Ziletus at Venetia intituled de quadripartita Iusticia The author whereof is one Lusitanus Lyriensis Episcopus who hath dedicated y e same his worke to the late Councell holden at Trent In the which

The which in our tong meaneth thus Augustines Gregorie Ariminensis iudgemeÌ„t better liketh me than the other that are contrarye to the same Ne yet are Augustine and Gregory alone of the same minde but they haue on their sides many yea and those worthie champions of whome I will make mention Now very lately the reuerende M. Dominick Soto an excelleÌ„t Philosopher and diuine and very muche exercised in the studies of good artes in his worke intituled de Natura gratia persuaded by many reasons is of this minde That man of him selfe without any speciall helpe and grace is able to worke that thing which is morallie good as hereafter is declared out of his owne worke But as touching that which belongeth to thys present question he doth rehearce the sayde Gregorie Ariminens in that matter wherein the same Gregorie denieth that any worke is morally good before it be referred to the vttermost end and mark which
