them fifteen thousand Crowns a month whose steps were followed by his Successour Innocent the 9th who remitted them fifteen thousand Ducats every month of his Popedom which was but short for he sate not much above eight weeks in that Chair Yet were not these Designs of the Leaguers and Mayenne sufficient to content the Pope but the young Cardinal of Bourbon hoped for the Crown and so formed another Party of seditious Persons called Thirdlings among whom was Perron afterwards Cardinal and this Faction also had the countenance of the last Pope who to advance this Cardinal exhorted the States to chuse a Roman Catholick for their King. And his Example was so far approved of by Clement the Eighth who was chosen in his room that he continued the same allowance to the Leaguers renewed the same Exhortations and declared any other but a Romanist incapable of the Crown The Parliament of Roan published a severe Edict against all who adhered to the King and Discourses were spread abroad maintaining That it was unlawfull to desire his Conversion and that such as proposed or endeavoured it were excommunicated and ought to be driven away lest they should infect the rest and the Parliament of Paris enjoined Obedience to the Pope and his Legate declaring that the Convention of Estates designed to chuse a Popish King And by this time those few Romanists who had continued with the King became rebellious too requiring him to change his Religion within a time which they prescribed otherwise protesting they would elect another of their own Persuasion Thus Rebellion and the Roman Catholick Cause went on prosperously in France but not having the same strength and opportunities in England the more secret Methods were made use of the Spaniard was importuned to make another Invasion which he prepared for but the Romanists unwilling to trust to that alone took a shorter course and by Mr Hesket's means attempted to persuade the Lord Strange afterwards Earl of Derby to take upon him the Crown which they pretended he had a Title to and soon after Father Holt and others employed Patrick Cullen an Irish Fencer to murther the Queen which he readily undertook and for a very small reward but his barbarous Intention was discovered and he upon apprehension confessing the Design and who set him on was executed Two years before this the Jesuite Creighton upon his going into Spain had desired blanks to be filled up with Credentials and Procurations from the Noblemen of the Popish Party in Scotland and this year he received them the Persons who sent them farther engaging that all the Romanists in Scotland should assist them upon the arrival of the Army which the King of Spain promised should be with them by the End of the Spring to the number of thirty thousand whereof some were to remain in Scotland and the rest march directly into England These Blanks were sent by a Servant of the King 's with Letters from several Jesuites but he was apprehended and some of the Conspiratours imprisoned and executed The Jesuites complained in their Letters that the Spaniards were too slow and therefore desired the Invasion with great earnestness Upon this Discovery the Earls of Angus Huntley and Arrol rebell'd but the King's Army marching against them before they had formed any considerable Body they fled into the Mountains submitted and were imprison'd in Order to a Tryall At the same time Tir Oen in Ireland after having persuaded and underhand maintained several Insurrections openly declar'd himself for the Rebells taking on him the Title of O Neal which by an Act of Parliament was declared Treason for any to assume Nor was England long free from open Rebellion yet clear'd of a Treasonable Generation who were daily employ'd in new Conspiracies against the Queens Life for Lopez one of the Queens Physicians undertook to Poison her for which he was to have Fifty thousand Crowns but being discovered confessed all and with two of his Accomplices was Executed But being unwilling to depend wholly on this Doctour the Jesuite Holt Dr. Worthington and others employed Edmond York Nephew to him who six years before had betrayed Zutphen to the Spaniards and Richard William with others to Kill the Queen who upon their Apprehension confessed That after several Consultations among the Priests and Jesuites in Flanders Holt threatned That if this Plot failed they would take this honourable Work out of the Hands of the English and employ Strangers for the future that they had vowed to Murther the Queen and that one Young Tipping Garret with two others had undertaken the same Design While God was thus confounding the Designs of these bloudy Men in this Nation the Leaguers in France seemed to have forgotten that an all-seeing Eye beheld their Actions where the Duke of Mayenne put forth a Declaration affirming That Henry of Bourbon could not be lawfull King because he was an Heretick and therefore they cannot be blamed for opposing him in obedience to the Pope's Bulls and Admonitions to which his Holiness's Legate added another assuring the Romanists that the Pope would never consent to the admission of an Heretick that such who assisted the King were in a desperate Condition and exhorting all to be obedient to the Pope and when the Estates were met he proposed that all should take an Oath never to acknowledge the King though he should be converted to their Church nay so great was his Fury that when the Romanists with the King sent to the States some Propositions for a Treaty he declared the very Proposals to be Heretical and by his influence the Doctours of Sorbon asserted the same as intimating a declared Heretick might be King but the Proposition was accepted and a Conference agreed on but with this Clause in the Answer to the Proposal That to fight against an Heretical King is not Treason yet the Legate entred his Protestation against the meeting and the Parisians attempted to make the young Duke of Guise King Nor were things better in the Royal Army where the Romanists whom the King most trusted were falling from him upon which resolving to change his Religion his Intensions were no sooner published than the Legate forbad all Bishops to absolve him pronouncing all that should be assisting to his reception into the Roman Church excommunicated and deprived and all their Actions in that Affair null and void But hower the King was reconciled and sent his Ambassadours to Rome but the Pope who had formerly refused to admit any Message from him prohibited their Entrance neither would he receive the Prelates that absolved him In the mean while the Leaguers stormed at the King's reconciliation and set themselves to destroy him by private Treason now Force could doe no good for which purpose one Barriere or Le Barr was employed who confessed that the Curate of St. Andrews of Arts in Paris commended the Design telling

Henry though he did not publish it till 1538. wherein he asserts his Authority over Kings to plant and destroy as he sees good and then proceeds with the Advice of his Cardinals to summon the King and all his Adherents to appear before him at Rome on a day appointed threatening them with the greater Excommunication in case of Non-appearance and declaring Him and his Posterity incapable of any Honours Possessions or even of being Witnesses absolves all his Subjects from their Oaths of Fidelity and commands them upon pain of Excommunication not to obey him or his Officers enjoyning all Christians to have no Commerce with him all Ecclesiasticks to leave the Land and all Dukes Marquesses c. under the same penalty to drive him out of his

Kingdom declares all Leagues made with him by any Princes void exhorting them to endeavour his Ruine with their whole power bestowing all the Goods of his Adherents upon such as would seize them commanding all Bishops to declare the King and his Followers Excommunicate and denouncing the same Censures against whosoever should hinder the publication of this Bull. This piece of prodigious Impudence and Vanity would not satisfie the Pope but he immediately set his Instruments to work to prosecute the design of his thundering Bull so that the beginning of the next year this Letter was written from Paris to one Fryar Forrest Brother WE behold how the King is changed from a Christian to an Heretick and how he hath robb'd Christ's Vicar of his Rights and Privileges by placing himself in his Holiness's Seat there as Supreme over the Catholick Church within the Realm It was the late damn'd Assembly of Lords and Commons furthered his Pride otherwise he could not nor durst not assume it to himself We have thought of these passages and do agree That there is no way to break this Tyrant's Neck but one Puff him up in his Pride and let our Friends say unto him That it is beneath so mighty a Monarch as he to advise with Parliaments but to act all in Person and that it behooveth his Majesty to be chief Actor himself If he assumes this it will take off great Blemishes from the Nation which the Church holds them guilty of and doe our Business For then the People it being contrary to their Laws will fall from him also the Catholick Party of his Council will be too strong for the Hereticks and then the Common sort will be the abler to declare his Tyranny This is to be contriv'd with the Church's Members and cautiously because it is observed that the Parliaments of England have hindred the Church in most of the Kings Reigns otherwise She had held her Party better than She does now You have our Convent's hearty Prayers for your Guide From St. Francis at Paris Primo Id. Jan. 1536. Thomas Powell This Letter was found two years after among Father Forrest's Papers together with an account of vast Summes which he had expended for the Church of Rome and her Designs But this Design not being sufficient the Pope offered England to James the Fifth King of Scots and presented him with a Cap and consecrated Sword. When that Offer of what was none of his succeeded not according to his Desires the same Pope Paul the 3d. by his Bull of the year following absolv'd in general all Subjects from their Oaths of Allegiance unto Heretical Kings Princes and States as they be Enemies unto the Holy See of St. Peter all Men from the tye of their Heretical Wives Wives from their Heretical Husbands c. which was accompanied with a Rebellion in Lincolnshire under the Conduct of one Mackarel a Monk to the number of Twenty thousand against whom the King prepar'd to march in Person but their first Fury being over they embraced the King's Pardon and returned home But this Commotion was succeeded by another more dangerous led by the Lord Lumley several Knights and Gentlemen with most of the Clergy this Army in the North consisted of 40000 Men well Armed who call'd themselves the Holy Pilgrimage and the Pilgrimage of Grace they had the Five Wounds of our Lord the Chalice and the Host painted in their Standard and the Name of Jesus upon their Sleeves their whole pretence was for Religion in their March they took Pontefract Castle but were at length appeas'd But soon after the same Persons raised another Insurrection in which several Monks came armed into the Field as Souldiers who were taken and with the Ring-leaders of the Rebellion Executed Two years after if not the next year to the last Rebellion for some place it in the year 1538. the Marquess of Exceter the Lord Montacute and his Brother Sir Edward Nevill and others enter'd into a Conspiracy to depose the King and advance Reynold Pool then Dean of Exceter and afterwards Cardinal to the Throne for which the Marquess Lord Montacute and Sir Edward Nevill were Beheaded upon Tower-Hill In the year 1546. Pope Paul the Third not content with his shewing his pretended Authority over Kings in the two Bulls mention'd before published another in favour of the Jesuits whereby he exempts them and their Goods from the Power of any but himself and commands all Princes to swear not to molest the Society or invade their Privileges and pronounces an Anathema against all who will not obey the Bull. Two years after this King Edward the Sixth being settled in the Throne one Body a Commissioner pulling down Images by the King's Order was stabbed by a Priest and a Rebellion was rais'd in Cornwall Humphrey Arundell Governour of the Mount with other Gentlemen gathering together Ten thousand Men besieged Exceter and reduc'd it to very great Extremity declaring they would have Popery and the Six Articles restor'd They fought four several Battels with the King's Forces but at last were entirely Routed and their Leaders Executed Yet the next year in Norfolk they Rebell'd again and when the King sent them his Pardon they refus'd it after which they took the City of Norwich and fir'd it beat the Marquess of Northampton and were very near Defeating the Earl of Warwick whose Cannon they took and refus'd the King's Pardon a second time but were at length Defeated and so were another Party who took Arms upon the same Account that year in Yorkshire There were other Insurrections in this King's time which I will not at present mention only observe what is confess'd by a late noted Authour of the Romish Church That these Risings of the Laity in such numbers for their former way of Religion would not have been had not their Clergy justified it unto them After this we find that Pope Paul the Fourth following the steps of his thundering Name-sake when the Dyet of the Germans at Ausburgh made an Edict for full Liberty of Conscience whereby the Protestants were maintain'd in the Possession of their Church Revenues fell into a furious rage publickly threatening the Emperour and King of the Romans That he would make them repent it protesting that if he did not recall the Edict he would proceed against them with as severe Censures as he intended to use against the Protestants telling all the Ambassadors in his Court That he was above all Princes that he expected not that they should treat with him as with their Equal that he could alter and take away Kingdoms as he thought good And one day at Dinner in the presence of many Persons of the highest Quality he affirmed That he would subject all Princes under his Foot. No wonder then that the same Spirit of Opposition to Princes actuate the Members of the Church
