Do I need to tell England of the many treacheries since the Reformation against our Princes? Or who it was that would have deposed as well as Excommunicated Queen Elizabeth, and exposed her Kingdoms to the will of others? Or who it was that wrote against King James his Title to the Crown? Or who were the Actors of the Hellish Powder-plot? Or who it is that hath been still blowing the fire, and casting all into disturbances for their ends? Do I need to mention their approving of the Murdering of Princes, and the pretence of power to dispense with oaths of Allegiance and fidelity, and who hath actually so oft pretended to disoblige the subjects, and expose Princes and their Dominions to the first occupant? I know that many of the seculars in England disowned this doctrine: But 1. So never did the Pope, but hath owned and practised it. 2. By disowning it, they disown Popery it self, if they know ⟨p. 350⟩what they do: For it is an Article of their Faith, and so Essential to their Religion, as explicitly held; and is determined by a Pope and an approved General Council, even 12. the fourth at Lateran under Innocent the third, as I before recited the words at large in the third Argument against them here.
I know some of the Papists would persuade the world that it was none but Mariana the Jesuit that wrote for King killing: and that it was first condemned by themselves. But the Parliament of Paris tells another story of them, as it is recited by Thuanus (who was President and then present) Hist. lib. 130. ad. an. 1604. And Rivet names them Guignardus (that wrote in praise of the murder of Henry the third) and of Ode Pichenatus, Barterius suborned by Varada, &c. And Albineus the Jesuit did hear the Murderer of Henry the fourth confess before he did the fact, and put off the examiners with this answer, that God had given him that special gift to forget when once he had absolved a sinner whatsoever was confessed by him. And why was it that France did expel the Jesuits, and set up a Pillar of Remembrance of their villainies, till Henry the fourth would needs gratify the Pope by calling them in again, and told the Parliament, that the peril of it should be on him; and so it was; for it cost him his life. And why did the same Parliament of Paris, Novemb. 1610. condemn Bellarmines book against Barclay, as an engine of treason and rebellion? And the Theological faculty of Paris, April. 4. 1626. condemned Santarellus Book as guilty of the same villainy, stirring up people to Rebellion and King-killing? And May 12. the University confirmed it: And March 13. the Parliament condemned the Book to be burnt.
