EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

THE VNMASKING OF THE POLLITIQƲE ATHEIST.

To the Reader.

TO render thee a reaſon (Chriſtian reader) of publiſhing this ſhorte Treatiſe: It is in a worde the contrary to Iſocrates anſwer vnto a queſtion out of time, ſaying; Quae ego noui, temporis huius non ſunt, quae verò exigit tempus hoc, ego neſcio: Thoſe things which J know, belong not vnto this time, and thoſe which appertaine vnto this time, I know not. But we ſay, the things which belong vnto this time, wofull experience hath made vs for to know, and the things which we know, the miſery of this time commaunds vs to report. For are not theſe the dayes whereof our Sauiour Chriſt, and his Apoſtles ſo long agoe foreprophecied, wherein charity ſhould wax colde,Math. 24. 2. Theſ. 2. 2. Tim. 3. and faith ſhould ſo ••• appeare, wherein men ſhould be ſlide backs from Chriſt, and Apoſtates from his true religion, wherein they ſhould be louers of themſelues, couetous, curſed ſpeakers, diſobedient, vnthākeful, vnholy, true-breakers, falſe accuſers, deſpiſers of them that are good, traitors, headdy, high-minded, louers of pleaſure more then louers of good, hauing a ſhew of godlineſſe, but haue denied the power thereof: yea wherein men are become, Ʋſers, Newters, Temporiſers, Athiſts. And the principall cauſe hereof muſt needs be the corrupt nature of man bending too too much vnto Papiſtry. For compare theſe times with the dayes of yore, when Papiſtry ſwayed the ſcepter, and you ſhall ſee the effects of both times to be alike. About the yeare 363. at what time the world began to decline; Anthony ſaw in a dreame, as it were Hogges, which trode vnder the feet their altars: & waking ſaid, that the Church ſhalbe once againe ſpoiled and diſperſed by whoremongers, adulterers, and monſtrous men, which propheſie Melancthon noteth to be againſt the leacherous and voluptuous life of Prieſts and Monkes. This propheſie began to take effect about the yeare 604. when papiſtry did preuaile, the Popedome flouriſh, and true doctrine loſt her puritie. For about the yeare 688. Theodore Archbiſhop of Rauenna was greatly hated of the Cleargie, becauſe he ſough to keep • them in good manners. But to come vnto the time wherein Papiſtry did rage and ſhew her full forces,Anno. 1126. Anno. 1140. Hugo C • rdinal. poſtil. in S. lohan. which was about 100. yeares after Chriſt, and then ſhall you finde Hugo of Saxon mightely complaining againſt diſorders. Barnard calling the Prelates, Pilates, and the Church men miniſters of Antichriſt: yea that all the vniuerſitie of Chriſtians did conſpire againſt Chriſt.Anno. 1157. Now was Iohn of Saresburie Biſhop of Chartres conſtrained to write a booke intituled Obiurgatorium, pertaining to chiding, rebuking, and finding fault, ſo greatly was he mooued with the wickedneſſe of thoſe times: wherein the Popes did ſucceede rather Romulus in murthers and Parricides,Speculum. then S. Peter in feeding the flock: as Pope Adrian the fourth oftentimes confeſſed. Now began Peter de Blois to call the Popes officials helliſh Harpies, and the cleargie Syria, Edom, Anno. 1240. Calues of Bethel, Idols of Egypt, the fat of Samaria, Prieſts of Baal, and earneſtly exhorteth to depart out of Babylon. Then complained Peter de Vinea of the inſaciable couetouſneſſe of the Pope, and the filthineſſe of the Clergie. Guillame le Orfeince prooued the Pope to be Antichriſt, Rome Babylon, Anno. 1260. and the Prelates the mēbers of Antichriſt. Now was there a booke found De pericu'is made of the dangers of the world. Now ſtood vp Peter Caſiodorus vexing his ſoule for the wickedneſſe of thoſe times. So did Mathias Pariſienſis, Iohn Wicleffe, Iohn Hus, Anno. 1306. Anno. 1370.1405, &c. Bridenbachius. and many others, to beholde the uniquitie of thoſe dayes, wherein receſſit lex à ſacerdotibus, à principibus iuſtitia, conſilium à ſenioribus, à populo fides, &c. The Lawe departed from the Prieſt, Juſtice from the Prince, counſell from the Senator, faith from the people • loue from parents, reuerence from ſubiects, charity from Prelates, religion from Monkes, honeſty from young men, pietie from teachers ſtudy from ſcholers, equity from Iudges, concord from Cittizens, feare from ſeruants, and fellowſhip from the countrie, truth from the Marchant, vertue from the Noble, chaſtitie from the Ʋirgin, humilitie from the widdow, loyalty from the marryed, and patience from the poore. Were theſe then and ſuch like the effects of Papiſtry in former ages, and ſhall we behold them againe to enter vpon the world, and not labour to remooue the cauſe? God forbid. The conſideration therefore of theſe lamentable times hath wroong from me this briefe Treatiſe. Wherein thou maieſt behold the very map of Papiſtrie: a doctrine turning the truth of God into a lye, and religion into ſuperſtition: perſwading men to all vngodlineſſe, and yet ouerſhadowing all with the ſhew of religion: Arming the ſubiect againſt the Prince,See the Spaniſh Proclamation in Ireland. and yet defend it by the beaſtly Bull of Popiſh excommunication. Sowing ſedition and treaſons in the land, yet dare appeare vnto the Lords of the councell as men blameleſſe and religious, as did that Machieuillian Turkiſh practiſer (as the Prieſts of his owne profeſſion doe terme him) Parſons that Iugling Ieſuite: whereas they meane nothing els, but the vtter ſubuerſion of religion and the ſtate, as plainly appeareth by the workes of Sir Francis Haſtings and D. Sutliue. Thus are they well practiſed in Machieuel,Lip •• us de duplici conco • dia. turning religion into pollicie: Imitating ſeditious Clodius, Qui cum eſſet religionis non hoſtis ſolum, ſed etiam contemptor, tamē ſceleribus, quae in tribunatu patrauit, religionem et auſpicia fuit auſus praetexere: who, albeit he were not only an enimy to religion, but alſo a deſpiſer and contemner of the ſame, yet he pretended religion in behalfe of all the villainies he committed in his Tribuneſhip. Way then the end of this ſhorte Treatiſe, and let vs be more thankefull vnto God for the riches of his reuealed truth. Firſt it vnmaskes the Politicians, that ſute religion after the faſhion of their pollicie. Secondly it forewarnes and ſo forearmes thee againſt theſe popiſh charmes that now flye about the land, leaſt vnwittingly thou be inchanted with them. Thirdly it giues thee a taſte what benefits thou ſhalt receiue by entertaining Papiſtry, namely hereſie, pollicie, ſuperſti • ion, Atheiſme, and all vngodlineſſe. Fourthly it deſciphers vnto thee the enuious, murdering, and cruell nature of a right Papiſt, that hangs his whole religiō vpō the Popes ſleeue,Lipſiusvbi prius. namely to be ſuch, qui adiiciunt culos ſaepe ad hanc patriam, quā è faucibus ereptam dolent, qui vexillum purpuratae Romanae belluae (O Deus immortalis auerte quaeſo hoc omen) in media defixuros ſe minitantur, qui non praedam ſed vitam, non ſeruitutem, ſed ſanguinem concupiſcunt: quibus nullus ludus iucundior eſt, quàm cruor, quàm caedes, quàm ante oculos trucidatio innocentium. Which often cast their eyes vpon this our countrie, which they greatly ſorrow is by Gods aide deliuered from their ſwallow, in the midſt whereof (which God forbid) they threaten one day to diſplay the banner, and ſet vp the Enſigne of the purple Romiſh beaſt, who deſire not our good, but our bloud, neither thirſt after our liuings only, but alſo our liues: in whoſe eyes there is no play ſo pleaſant, as to beholde maſſacres, heare of murders, & ſee the ſlaughters of ſilly innocents. Laſtly, it armes thee with truth by vnfoulding of the contrary, which truth God graunt vs to embrace to his glory, our health, and the countries good, which God no doubt begins to viſit for the ſinnes thereof, but eſpecially for the ſinne of Apoſtaſie, backſliding, and forſaking the ture religion,Note the Ecclipſe of the moone, Nouēb. 29. 1601. and of the ſunne Decemb. 14. Yea two other Eclipſes of the moone are to happen this yeare. Thunder and lightning very common this Chriſtmas. Socrat. hiſt. 3.to vphold the kingdome of Satan, and maintaine the doctrine of Antichriſt: which grieuous ſinne (eſpecially after ſo long ſunne ſhine of the Goſpell) the Sunne bluſheth to looke vpon, and the Moone is aſhamed to behold. The heauens roare and thunder to conſider, and the ayre ſindeth forth his arrowes and threatneth with his lightning to wound from heauen all ſuch as with the Apoſtate Iulian reuolt from their profeſſion, and vndermine the faith of Christ. Yea the Earth,An earthquake 1601. Decemb. 24. the ſtable earth begins now to quauer, and to ſhake, as being ouerburdned with our ſinnes, and too weake to beare the waight of our iniquities, eſpecially to ſupport this ſinne,Hiſtor. Tripart. lib. 4. cap. 10. this heauie ſinne of Apoſtacie and irreligion, giuing vs warning before it open, as ſometime it did Antioche ready to receiue the hereſie of Arius, that if we leaue not off betimes to welcome Antichriſt, and to entertaine his armio of hereſie and Atheiſme, it will one day ſwallow vs vp quicke for conſpiring with the enemies of Chriſt,Num. 16. as ſometimes it did Corath, Dathan, and Abiram. God graunt that other mens harmes may teach vs to beware.

The vnmasking of the politique Atheist.

BLindfolded Gentiliſme coulde eſpie Atheiſme in Diagoras, Cicero de nat. deor. lib. 1. Damaſ. lib. 1. orthodox fid. cap. 3. and Theodorus, becauſe they denied there was a God, the knowledge of whome is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ingrafted and bred in vs by nature.Reſcius Wright &c. But quick-ſighted Papiſme, can diſcrie Atheiſme in the true Chriſtian, becauſe he defies the Popes whome Chriſt and his Apoſtles haue taught vs to be Antichriſt. O that the Papiſt could as well diſcerne his Lady Enuy, that quickens his ſight, and his Lorde Sathan that lends him light, then would he blame the Iewes ſight, and his owne eyes,7. Iohn. 20. the one for ſeeing a deuill in Chriſt the head, and the other for beholding diueliſh Atheiſme in the Chriſtian his member. Yea then would they ſee that Satan is the maſter builder of their Church,Tuſcul. quaeſt. 1. Cicero et de Nat. deor. lib. 1. 1. Rom. Act. 14 Acts. 17. Ioh. 5. Epheſ. 2. and Atheiſme the chiefe foundation of their kingdome. For what is Papiſme? a denying there is a God? No, ſeeing no Barbarian (excepting ſome fewe) was ſo barbarous, howbeit, not exempted from Atheiſme. What then doth Papiſme acknowledge a Godhead, but deny the perſons? Not ſo neither, for they confeſſe Moſes and the Prophets, and crye templum domini, templum domini, we, and none but we are the Church. How then can they confeſſe God, and yet deny God? Yea, why not, as well as Antichriſt,2. Theſſal. 2. Aug. Ciu. 23, & 19. that ſits in the Temple and Church of God, and yet the greateſt enemy of his Chriſt? For the profeſſion of the Church ſerues him but for a vaile to couer his papiſme, and for a viſard to colour his Atheiſme: ſeeing he both denies and defies Chriſt, his Goſpell, and the Godhead, by his doctrine, worſhip, and liuing, ſo erronious, ſuperſticious, and vngodly: for what is the kingdome of Popery, but hereſie, ſeeing heretiques are armies of Antichriſt? And what is the ſea of Rome,Chryſoſt. hom. 49. in Math. but an huge Ocean of hereſies? wherein Simon, and all heretiques doe take their pleaſure and repaſt. Here is Monkiſh poperie in imitation of Simonian Idolatry, worſhiping the Images of Francis and Clara. Here in domo Dei presbyteri et Epiſcopi vendentes ſunt. Roiard hom. Ser. 2. poſt dom. Latare. Both Prieſts and Praelates make the houſe of God an houſe of Marchandies. Heere are Cardinals buying the Popedome, and Popes ſelling Chriſt and Chriſtendome.Gyrolan Catena. Yea, here are the paines of Purgatorie to be bought off for money, and the pleaſures of Paradiſe to be purchaſed for coine. Howbeit the Pope challengeth place authoritate Dei, by Gods authority. Fie fowlemouthd Florinian to vſu • pe the kingdome of the ſonne,Bulla •• i quinti in Eliz. and yet to challenge it as from the Father. Here may yee ſee Midwiues baptizing,Aug. haereſ. 66. and a woman executing the office of the Popedome, and are not they moſt fearefull foes to the Pepucians?Rom. char. part 2. ſ • ct. 18. But will you know their warres againſt Nouatius? They debarre Miniſters from honorable marriages,Bellar. de bapt. lib 1. cap. 7. and compell them to periſh in diſhonourable luſt: which was one among the greeuances that the Germans exhibited to Cardinall Campeius, Epiphan haereſ. 79. that their Biſhops and Officials did not onely ſuffer Prieſts for their mony to haue concubines,Theod. fab. haereſ. lib. 3. but compelled chaſte Prieſts to pay their tribute, that ſo it might be lawfull for them to liue as they liſt.Rhem. Acts. 21. ſect. 1. O ſay not ſo, this is a chaſte generation. For thoſe that were their wiues before orders,Aug. haereſ. 87. ſhall be their wiues ſtil, but their husbands ſhall not haue acceſſe vnto them: a crue of faithfull Abellians. Oecolamp. Fox pag. 861. And call you this a chaſte generation that condemne men for marriage? witneſſe Petrus Sponglerus in the yeare 1525.Rhen. Anor. 1. Cor. 7. ſect. 8. that call marriage the worſt ſort of incontinencie: that ſay Prieſthood is prophaned by it: that dare affirme that thoſe that are in carne, Greg. mar. diſcou • • . ſect 1 deo placere non poſſunt: that married perſons cannot pleaſe God,Siricius. Epiſt. ad Him: Tarac. that forbid prieſts marriages, leaſt they ſhould defile the ſacrament: and becauſe it is written ſancti eſtote: be yee holy.Aqui. add 3. part. q. 53. art. 3 As if that were no holy thing, that was inſtituted by an holy author,Innocent. diſt. 81. cap. propoſ. bleſſed by an holy God, ordained at an holy time, celebrated in an holy place, and performed vnto holy perſons, as were Adam and Euah before their fall.2. Gen. 74. 13 Heb. 4. which the holy ſcripture calleth honorable vnto all men: and the ſacred Paphnutius, Zozem. lib. 1. c. 23. Enemies 10 mariage were Tatian, Martioniſts, Euſtachians, Montaniſts, Priſcilia • ſ • s, Iuſtin, Peneus, Euſebius, Epiphanius, Alphonſus de caſtro, &c. Ang. haereſ. 25. with all the Nicen councell in the yeare 315. confeſſed and acknowledged concubitum cum propria vxore caſlitatem eſſe, Copulation with a mans owne wife to be chaſtitie. Why then O you Tatian Papiſts and Eucratites exclude you coniugio vtentem married perſons from your order? why embraſe you Cainiſme forbidding him to bee conſecrated Biſhop,Hierom ad Oceanurr. that marrieth another after his firſt wife be dead? quam haereſin ſequitur Romana eccleſia. Eraſmus. Why then yee ſacred Fryars, and chaſte Carthuſians, do you contemne that honorable calling? as if a married woman do come within your cloiſter, it muſt be waſhed and cleanſed after her with holy water.Euſeb. lib. 5. c. 18. Alex. pope. 3. ad Epiſ Exon. de ſpont. c. Com. And why clap you hands rather with Montanus teaching the diſſolution of marriage: then with God, that forbids to ſeperate that, which he hath conioyned? yea and with the Nicolaitans, 2. Apoc. 6. had rather vſe promiſcua venere, vagis libidinibus, Sodomia, quàm legitima vxore: whoredome,Epiphan. rom. 7. lib. 1. haere. 25. fornication, Sodomie, then lawfull wedlocke,1. Timot. 4 albeit the one be commanded, and the other forbidden: but that yee preferre the doctrine of diuels, before the word of God, Antichriſt before Chriſt, and falſe Atheiſme before true religion. For did not Chriſt make marriage the Image of his holy coniunction with his church, and gaue Peter the primacie of order among the Apoſtles that was a married man?Aug. quaeſli. 27. ex vtreque mixtu. Bellar. lib. 1. de cler. c. 18. And Bellarmine confeſſeth ther is no ſcripture that forbiddeth Miniſters marriage.Epiſt. ad Philadelph. Yea reuerend Ignatius wiſhed to be found worthy to walke in the ſteps of the ſaints, namely of Abraham, Iſaac, Iacob, Ioſeph, Iſaias, Peter, Paul and others 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 that liued in holy marriage. And proteſteth that if any profeſſor do call lawfull wedlocke and procreation of children 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 : a defiling diſtaining or filthineſſe,Can. 12. & 13. diſt. 3. quoni • m. that he hath dwelling in him the dragon that fowle Apoſtate.Vliricus Epiſ. Aeneas. Siluius in ſua Germania. The lawfulneſſe of which calling was proued out of the word of God in the councell of Nice, and confirmed by the Synod of Conſtantinople. Yea Gregorie himſelfe,1. Rom. 23. 1. Ioh. 5.25. beholding more then 600. childrens heads drawne out of a Fiſhpond, with blubbered cheekes condemned his decree of ſingle life,Aug. doct. Chriſt. 3. cap. 7. Hierom ad Ripar. preſbyt. ſaying: melius eſt nubere quàm vrere: and melius eſt nubere, quam mortis occaſionem praebere: It is better to marry then to buine, yea it is better to marry then to giue occaſion of murder and deſtruction.

Go now yee Papiſts to ſchoole vnto the Prophets, where hauing learden to diſcerne betweene the ſpirite of Chriſt and the Dragon, tell me how farre you are from Atheiſme. Doe you not pray vnto reliques, and ſay vnto the croſſe ſalue ſancta crux: all haile holye croſſe, and vnto the Napkin Sancte ſudari or apro nobis, et ſudarium Chriſti libert nos a peſti et morte triſti, ô holy Napkin pray for vs, deliuer vs from the peſtilence and euil death. If Atheiſme had not poſſeſſed you,Sutliu us de eccl. Cath. Their ſilken garments kept at Rome are of the Italian faſhion. how dare you call your couſning traſh, ſacred & holy reliques? Elſe muſt Peter & the ſanits be mōſters, Ioſepth & Mary be Italians, & Chriſt borne out of Bethleem. Howbeit the Valentinians were heretiques that worſhipped the croſſe: and do not the papiſts ſo? the Carpocratians were heretiques,Irenaeus lib. 1 Aug. hereſ. 7. &c. ſo was Marceline too, they for worſhiping the Images of Ieſus, and ſhe of Ieſus and Paule: and do not the Papiſts ſo?Bell • r. lib. 1. c. 13. de ſanct. beat. The Collyridians were heretiques for worſhipping the Virgin Mary: and do not the papiſts ſo? yea muſt not euery country, citie, towne,Epiphan. li. 3. haerel. 79. Lactant. de vero cult. cap. 17. village, company, trade, occupation, and perſon, haue their Saint to worſhip by popiſh inſtitution? And were not the Angelici heretiques, becauſe they worſhipped the Angels?Iraeneus lib. 2 c. 59. Aug. haer. 39 Rhē. Annot. Apoc. 3 yet the papiſts defend and maintaine the ſelfe ſame adoration againſt the ſcripture. Would you know where to finde Pelagianiſme? then haue recourſe to popery. That will teach you a man may be perfect in this life,Aug. haer. 88. and keepe all the commandements, as was Franciſcus that kept the Goſpell at an inch,Rhem. 5. Ioh. 5 ſect. 1. lib.

But it may be that theſe Cathariſts will lend ſome eare vnto their popiſh pillars.4. Heb. 3. Galat. Aug. haereſ. 38. If ſo, who accuſed the ſcholemen your famous founders of Pellagiàniſme, as men oppoſite to the conſtant currant of the Fathers? euen your faithfull Roffenſis, who conuicted Pighius your gallant Champion of Pellagianiſme? euen your valiant Dominicus Soto: yet Ruardus Tapperu • leaning vpon that broken ſtaffe the Tridentine councell, • .

O returne yee Prince murdering, & people killing Atheiſts, conſider your teaching, which Chriſt calles hypocriſie, and Saint Paule the doctrine of diuels.

Where now is Antichriſt, if this be not his kingdome? In the yeare 1074.Nauclerus. when Hildebrand was Pope, the Prieſts pronounced him to be Antichriſt: qui titulo Chriſti ageret negotium Antichriſti in Babylone: who vnder the title of Chriſt wrought the workes of Antichriſt in Babylon: At this time terrible commotions, ſchiſmes, lightnings, tempeſts, earthquakes, &c. and among the reſt was ſeene a fearful Comet,Naucl.

Petrarch reſembleth Rome vnto Babylon: and Gregories notes of Antichriſt are verified of the Pope. Bernard called the Prelates Pilates: the Miniſters the ſeruants of Antichriſt: and Archbiſhop Euerard decyphering by the ſcripture this man of ſinne, concludes at the laſt, the Pope to be that Antichriſt: to omit the councell of Wormes, Sanonarola, Auentine annal.

Weſſelus. boaſt himſelfe to be God, counterfeit the Lambe, but ſpeake like the Dragon, & yet remaine without Atheiſme? Tell me then what is Atheiſme. O ſir, to be a proteſtant is to be an Atheiſt: for he defies the Pope, preferres Chriſt before Antichriſt, truth aboue falſhood, the worde before traditions, and God before Satan. Thus you make Atheiſts as you make heretiques: If a man reſiſt the vanitie, idolatrie, and ſuperſtition of your church,Platina in Paulo; 2. preſently he is an heretique: to eate fleſh on faſting dayes is hereſie: yea to ſay there bee Antipodes, or to ſpeake the worde Academia: vel ſerio, Auentine vbi prius. vel ioco: in ſadneſſe or in ieſt, is hereſie.

March. 18. yet ſo as I hope to be ſaued onely by the death and paſſion of Chriſt, and by his merits, not aſcribing any thing to my owne workes: yea and Bellarmine their great Goliah after much withſtanding of the truth, at the laſt giues vp his verdit,Bellar. lib. 5. de iuſtifi • at. c. 7. ſaying: propter periculum maius gloriae tutiſsimum eſt fiduciam totam in ſola Dei miſericordia et benignitate reponere: for the more aſſurance of future glorie, it is the ſafeſt way to put our whole truſt and confidence, in the mercy and louing kindneſſe of Almighty God.17.

Now let the Papiſt then ſpeake whether he be that blood deſiring or ſoule-deuouring Atheiſt: Pope Hildebrand, Benno Cardinal. in vita. & geſt. Hildebrand. quia diebus per paganos Chriſtum publice perſequi non poterat, per falſum Monachum ſub habitu Monaſtico, ſub habitu religionis nomen Chriſti fradulenter ſubuertere diſponebat: becauſe he could not in publicke conueniently perſecute Chriſt, he ſought in ſecret vnde • the pretence of religion, deceitfullie to ſubuert the name of the annointed.Seneca. The old Romaines profeſſed religion magis admorem, quam adrem: rather for faſhion then for truth: and more to ſatiſſie the law, then to be pleaſing vnto God. Wherefore Pontifex Sheuola ſaid, expedit falli in religione ciuitates, Ang. ciuitat. 6. c. 10. & lib. 4. cap. 26. quia non niſi homines in metu quodam et officio continendos eandem proponi cenſendum eſt: It is expedient that cities ſhould be deceiued concerning religion, becauſe it ſerues to • o other end, but to keepe them in feare, and in their dutie. And to what other end belongs the Romiſh Indulgences and Popiſh Purgatorie, but to keepe men in feare, and picke their purſes? For who doe they place in Purgatorie but the rich and wealthy men, by whome they may haue proffit and aduantage by helping them out of pryſon,Bellar. de purg. lib. 2. cap. 15. & 18. and praying for them that they might haue eaſe?Platina. Yet Harding ſomtimes called it purgatorij pictas flammas: and Papyraceos parietes: painted flames and paper wals.

As had Nero, when he put his Mother to death, and Caracalla, when he killed his brother Seta: The Iewes making ſtirres and commotions in Indea and Samaria, Ioſephus lib. 4. de bello Iudaic. about the time of Neroes Empery pretended religio, and inſ •• uta maiorum, religion and ſtatutes of their auncienters to be the cauſe of their rebellion, whereas indeed they cared for nothing leſſe then for religion.

And is not the Popes pretence religion, when he would achieue any matter, or performe any miſchife? for who ſo fulfils not the Popes mind, muſt by and by be an hereticke.Volatcran.

Was not religion the pretence of that infamous Maſacre of Frāce, of the poyſoning of Iohn king of England by a Monke, albeit the king had farmed his crowne of the Pope? And is it not a Popiſh action haeriticis non eſſe fidem ſeruandam a man may breake his oath, troath, and faith, that is plighted to an heretick? Religion was the pretence, wherefore Henry the third of France was killed by a diſſembling Monke Religion was the pretence why an hypocriticall Papiſt ſhot the Prince of Auris with a Gunne, after he had humbly ſaluted his •• aieſtie. And is not this a Popiſh Theorem, principi proteſtanti qui ſi • em non ſeruat, qui prodit, qui perdit, •• m non delinquere? It is no ſinne to forſweare, deceiue, betray, and murder, a Prince, that is a proteſtant. Vnder this pretence two Ia •• bins, with a croſſe in their handes procured the murdering of more then 4000. Chriſtians in Liſbon, but were publickely burned for it in Ebora, Anno. 1600. at the commandement of Emanuell the king. Vnder this pretence a Gray Frier named brother Ferdinand dela place perſwaded the king of Caſtile, to put ſundry Chriſtians to death calling them Apoſtates.

Vnder this pretence of religion did Phocas kill Mauritius the Emperor and his children, and was abſolued both from murder and treaſon by Pope Boniface, vpon this conditiō, that as Phocas ſhould be Emperor,Platina in vi •• Bonifac. • . ſo the Pope ſhould be Epiſcoporum princeps and caput eccleſiae: the prince of the Biſhops, and head of the Church: and can a Church whoſe head is the Pope, & not Chriſt, be without Atheiſme,Specul. Pontiſ. A church that hath many heads at one time? Yea and vnder this pretence did Boniface the eight Dart regna et auferre beſtow & take away kingdomes,Platina. and gather, aurum pluſquam dici poteſt, gold without meaſure: vnder this pretence the Pope ſent Parry, Ianuary 3. 1584. to kill our bleſſed Queene Elizabeth, promiſing him for his labor pardon of all his ſins: and calles it an holy act. Yea vnder this pretence they ſent forth excommunications both againſt Prince and ſubiect, debarring the one from his dignitie, and the other from his dutie. Thus Sixtus the 5. excommunicated Henry of Burbon king of France, the fourth of that name, calling him the pretenced king of Nauarre: and Henry Prince of Condy, ſaying: Nos illos illorun que poſteros priuamus in perpetuum, &c. We depriue them,Datum Romae apud 5. Marcū. Anno. 1584. 5. idus Septemb. Anno primo noſtri pontificatus. & offices &c, and then abſolues all their nobles, vaſſailes & ſubiects of their oathes, allegeance, and duties in paine of excōmunication: And ſiquis hoc attenuare praeſumpſerit, indignatiouem omnipotentis Dei, et beatorum Petri, ac Pauli Apoſtolorum eius ſe nouerit incurſurum: If any ſhall preſume to diminiſh any whit hereof, he vndergoes the wrath and indignation of almighty God, and of his bleſſed Apoſtles Peter and Paule. Yet Pope Clemens the 5. abrogated the decree of Boniface the eight, and freed Phil • king of France from the curſ • thereof. And S. Auguſtine was o • the contrary minde, in his Epiſtl • to Auxilium, Lib. 5. cap. 7. Ernan. con. c. 7. Aug. Epiſt. 75. how be it not ſubiect to his Popiſh penalty. Thus Boniface the 8. Martin the 5. Iulius th • 2. ſent many thundering excommunications into France, but the • were all diſabled by the Counſe • and court of Paris in France. Gratian. c. ſihabes 24. q. 3. Thu • delt Gregory the 9. with Frederick • ſending three Bulles to tormen • him: In the firſt accuſing him of ſacriledge, periury, lying, cruelty, patricide, and all vngodlineſſe. In the ſecond freeing all people, Cities,Extat. apud Auentinum. in Anal. cont. brid. 2. Imperat. Townes iure iurandi religione from their oathes, & commandes it to be preached vnto the people. In the third, he calles him hereticke, beaſt, with other vilde tearmes, commanding all Chriſtian people, if they will haue God • o tender them, and to haue mercy • pon their ſoules, not to fauour the Emperor, in deede, worde, or thought. Yet ſaith God, thou ſhalt not ſpeake euill of the ruler of the people.2. Leuit. 22. Exod. Thus delt Gregory the 7. with Henry the 4. moſt miſerably • yranizing ouer the ſilly Emperor, ſtirring vp trayterous Rodolph againſt his Lord and Maiſter,Antoninus part. 2. & ſending him a golden crowne with this inſcription. Petra dedit Petro, Benno Cardinal. Petrus Diadama Rodolpho the rocke gaue the diadem to Peter, and Peter beſtowed it vpon Rodolph: but it was the ouerthrow both of the Pope & Rodolph For Zedechias periury ſhall not go vnpuniſhed,Ezechi. 17.17.18. becauſe he diſpiſed the oath. Thus delt Paulus the 3. with Henry the 8. king of England a prince of happy memory. And his Popiſh Poole perſwaded with Charles the 5. tranſported his army prepared againſt the Turke into England againſt Henry the 8. becauſe the Pope being baniſhed from hence,Cardiral Poole lib. 3. ad Hen. 8. here wa • ſparſum ſemen Turcicum. Turciſm • was ſowed in the land. Thus de •• Clemens the 5. with Franciſcus De • dalus Duke of Venice: But it were a world to rip vp all their Bulle • and cruell treaſons. Religioſulos, peregrinationum et votorum praetext • obambulantes prouincias, Cornel. Agrip. de vanit ſcient. explorae • ſecreta, ad omnium proditionum genera extractos eſſe: their Fryars, and walking mates, vnder pretence of vowes and pilgrimages, are fitte companions for all treacheries & treaſons. And no maruell ſeeing it is a principle of Papiſtry: that euerie oathe and vowe muſt be holy vnto the Pope; but neither vowe, nor oath vnto the Prince, but what ſhall pleaſe his Popedome. Neither are theſe Bulles and Bullmen hurtfull onely vnto Princes, • ut alſo full of blaſphemies againſt almighty God: as is euident in the Bull of Pius Sixtus vpon the celebration of the Iubily,Ex promonſtrē Ioh. Bal. H. Bulling. Cornel. Agrip. and in the Bull of Gregorie the 9. directed to Albert Beham of Bath. Notwithſtanding leaſt I ſeeme to dwell o • uer-long vpon this demonſtration: I come vnto the thundring Bull of Pius Quintus, roaring and breathing out his beaſtly threats againſt our gracious Soueraigne Queene Elizabeth, thus popiſhly inſcribed. Sententiam declaratoriam contra ſereniſsimam Reginam Anglia • es ei adhaerentes haereticos. Qua etiam declar antur abſoluti omnes ſabditi à • iuramento fidelitatis, Datum. Romae a pud ſanctum Potium 5. kalēd Mart. Anno. 1569. et quocun que alio • debito, et deinceps obedientes anathemate illaqueantur. A ſentence declaratory againſt the moſt renowned Queene of England, and all her hereticall adherents, abſoluing all her ſubiects from their oath of truſtineſſe • loyaltie, and whatſoeuer other duty, accurſing with a fearefull execration all thoſe, that ſhall yeeld vnto her any ſeruice or obedience. Beholde the fruites of Romiſh religion, periury, treaſon, diſobedience, and vilde reuiling of the Lords annointed, calling her ſerua vitiorum: the woman ſeruant of vice and wickedneſſe. And why? becauſe ſhe yoaked not her ſelfe vnto his Popeſhip: held not his ſtirrup with Ludouicke. yeelded not her necke with Fredericke: nor gaue him homage paying a hundred markes a yeare with Richard: therfore ſhe is a pretēced Queene,Anno. 1569. and muſt be excōmunicated, curſed, diſherited, and what not. Now muſt D. Morton ſtir vp the Engliſh Catholicks to rebellion, and raiſe cōmotions in the Noth now muſt auriculer confeſſion caſt the anker of conſpiracy: and the traterous Ieſuites lay their bloody handes vpon the Lordes anoynted a faithfull progeny iſſuing from a murdering ſpaniſh ſouldier Ignatius de Laiola. Concil. Chalceden. Niceph. 13. c. 34. Yet thus delt not the primitiue Church with Conſtantius, and Anaſtaſius, albeit both atached of hereſie, the one with Eutichiſme, and the other with Arrianiſme. But what thinke our moderne Papiſts, of this Antichriſtian Bull? Firſt they demaund An catholici non teneantur virtute Bullae contra eam arma ſumere, Theſe & many more Articles of the ſame ſort were found and taken in the ſearch for Dauid Engle field in York eſhire • & recorded there in the memories of the coū • cell: intituled Ad conſolationem & inſtructionem Anglorū catholicorum & confeſſariorum. eam deponere, incarcerare, vel occidere data opertun •• ate et victoriae conſequendae probabilitate, &c. Whether the Catholickes are not bound by the ver • ue of that Bull to take vp armes againſt her Maieſty, to depoſe, impriſon or kilher, if oportunity ſerue, or if there be any probability of the victory: vnto which is anſwered: non teneri niſi, &c. They are not ſimply bound therevnto by the vertue of the Bull, except the matter be ſo handled, as they may be aſſured of the victory: and in that caſe, all are bound to doe their vttermoſt for the common good of faith and religion. Secondly they demaund An ſtante Bulla in virtute priuatus poſsit eam • occidere: whether it be lawfull for a priuate man to kill her by the vertue of the Bull: To which it is anſwered: It is lawfull out of doubt,Papiſts are no traytors. if he be ſure by that meanes to deliuer the kingdome from oppreſſion. Thirdly An Catholici, &c. whether the Catholicke may take an oath that Elizabeth is the true Queene of England. To this after ſome demurre is anſwered, albei • they muſt not ſweare falſely: yet they may hide, and couer the truth with any kinde of aequiuocation or doubling, eſpecially if the demandes be not according to lawe,Bulla quatenus ſpectat ad fauorem religionis & catholicorum efficax & integrum man •• . or before a lawfull Iudge: As if it be demanded whether ſhe be the true Queene, it is enough for their oath if they vnderſtand it, that ſo indeed the common people take her, or her adherents or after any other ſort. Fourthly An Catholici, &c. Whether the Catholickes for all their oath may by the vertue of the Bull take vp armes againſt her Maieſtie vpon any oportunitie: wherevnto they anſwer,Baſil. Yet God accepts of the oath according to his meaning that giues the oath, or as he vnderſtands it to whome we ſweare. they may do it in the caſe of religion: yea although there were no Bull, yet it is lawfull to ouerthrow & thruſt a tyrant from the throne. Laſtly (to omit the reſt) An princeps ant regina ipſa excommunicata, &c. Whether the Queene being excommunicated and denounced an heretick, ſhe be alſo depriued of the right & title of the kingdome, & the people freed from their oath & allegiance • To which is anſwered affirmatiuely,Yet all the Papiſts in the world are not able to conuince her Grace of any hereſie or tyrannie. adding moreouer, that the Queene of England not onely becauſe ſhe is a heretick and a tyrant, but alſo becauſe ſhe rules with the hurt, loſſe, dammage, and diſturbance of the whole Church of England, may be lawfully thrown from her kingdome, had there bin no bull publiſhed againſt her. Beholde how they make the lawes of God of none effect: Periurare, fallere, diſsimulare: to forſweare,Mach. com. 2. cap. 13. diſſemble, and deceaue is a commaundement of their good Lord Machiauell: If they be ſummoned before heretickes, ſophiſticè iurare et ſophiſticè reſpondere: to ſweare deceitfully and to anſwere Sophiſtically is authorized by their Canons.Int. qu •• ſt. ad tribunal. iudicis pertinentes Q. 2. quomodo reſpond. in tribunali haeret.

But the Ieſuites both againſt the ſcripture, nature, religion, and all antiquity allow the murdering of Princes: an euident ſigne who is their father. The Papiſts ſay kings raigne by the Pope: but the ſcripture ſaith they rule by God. And he that reſiſtes the king withſtādes the ordinance of God. Ieroboham was an Idolater, yet none of the Prophe •• perſwaded any of the people to kill him. Ahab was an Idolater, yet Elias ſeekes no inſurrection. Ieremy vnder Zedechias, Daniel vnder Nabuchodonoſer, Chriſt vnder Pilate, Iohn vnder Herod, Paule vnder Faelix, and Peter vnder Nero line, yet moue not the people to rebellion. But the Papiſts haue beene the authors almoſt of all the warres euerſions, and diſſentions, that haue happened for the ſpace of 700. yeares in diſturbed Chriſtendom. Gregory the ſecond, Gregory the third, and Leo the third made Italy decline from their ſoueraigne Emperor. Adrian the firſt ſet the Frenchmen againſt the Lombardes, and maintained Pippins rebellions againſt king Childerick. Were they not Popes that ſet the Frēch & Germans at oddes, that held war themſelues againſt Henry the 4. & the 5.

Wherefore ſeeing that papiſtry is a religion cō mixed & compounded of error & hereſies: ſeeing it is an Apoſtate church, and the kingdom of Antichriſt: ſeeing it refuſeth Chriſt to be the head therof, & accepteth the Pope in his place & roome: ſeeing it is a monſter hauing ſomtimes 2. ſomtimes 3. ſomtimes 4. heads at once: ſeeing it denies the auncient & true God, & ſets vp new & falſe god, in his ſtead: ſeeing it diueſteth Chirſt of all his offices, & beſtowes them vpō fancies, & vſurping flatteries; ſeeing it remooues Chriſt the true foundation, and builds it ſelfe vpon Sodomits, Magitians, Atheiſts and the diuels ſeruants: ſeeing it is an vſing, a Newter, and a temporiſing church; ſeeing it is corrupt and too too rotten in the groundworke of religion: ſeeing it makes religion an arte of ſubtill pollicie: ſeeing it makes Chriſt a deepe deceiuer, and impoſtor: ſeeing it vndermines the ſimple; and condemnes the ſoule: ſeeing it makes a ieſt and playe of her Papiſticall profeſſion and religion: ſeeing it denies the holy ſeriptures to be the word of God, and coines new ſcriptures to her popiſh fancie and deuiſe: ſeeing it teacheth villanie and all vngodlineſſe: ſeeing it is an enemie to the good and monſtrous murderer of the Saints: ſeeing it ſets vp Iudaiſme, Ethniciſme, and foule Idolatry: ſeeing it makes no account of God himſelfe, nor of his worſhip, and holy • eruice: ſeeing both heads and members are vnſound, vnſanorie, and moſt impure, both in doctrine, manners, and in all good liuing, we conclude that Papiſme is a masked Atheiſme.
