And (as I said before from Suarez and others) when the Pope hath deposed a King, any man may kill him. I will not trouble you with Mariana's directions for poisoning him, or secretly ⟨p. 354⟩dispatching him (de Reg. instit. lib. 1. cap. 7.) Suarez his moderate conclusion is enough (Defens. fid. Cathol. li. 6 c. 4. sect. 14.) [Post sententiam, &c. After sentence past he is altogether deprived of his Kingdom, so that he cannot by just title possess it; therefore from thence forward he may be handled as a mere tyrant; and consequently any private man may kill him] O Learned Suarez! No wonder if you and your Profession be dear to Princes; and if Henry the fourth of France took down the Pillar of your infamy, and received you into his Kingdom and Heart again? No wonder if the Venetians at last have readmitted you, to procure some aid against the Turk.

I will conclude with one Testimony of a Roman Rabbi (cited by Bishop Usher, who knew his name, but would not do him the honour to name him.) It is, B. P. [Greek or Hebrew]. Epistol. J. R. impresan 1609. Who hath excused the Powder-Plot from the Imputation of cruelty, [because both Seeds and Root of an evil herb must be destroyed] and doth add a derision of the simplicity of the King in imposing on them the oath of Allegiance, in these most memorable expressions, worthy to be engraven on a Marble Pillar [Sed vide in tanta astutia, quanta sit simplicitas! &c. But see what simplcity here is in so great craft! When he had placed all his security in that Oath, ho thought he had framed such a manner of oath, with so many circumstances, which no man could any way dissolve with a safe conscience. But he could not see, that if the Pope dissolve the Oath, all its knots, whether of being faithful to the King, or of admitting no Dispensation, are accordingly dissolved. Yea I will say a thing more admirable. You know I believe, that an unjust Oath, if it be evidently known to be such, or openly declared such, obligeth no man. That the Kings oath is unjust, is sufficiently declared by the Pastor of the Church himself. You see now that the Obligation of it is vanished into smoke, and that the bond which so many wise men thought was made of iron, is less then straw.]
