Nay the Pope makes himself a Temporal Prince in every Princes Dominion on earth, where he is able to do it, and takes all the Clergy out of their Government into his own. So that actually he hath dispossessed them of part of their Dominion already, by taking so considerable a part of their subjects from under their power, yea and those that have so great an influence upon all the rest: What by public Preaching, and Church-governing, and secret Confessing, and dependence on them for the Sacraments, one would think it should be no hard matter for a Romish allowed numerous Clergy, to be Masters of any Kingdom where they are. And thus Princes are more then half conquered already, without a war. If any believe not that the Pope doth not thus exempt his Clergy from the secular power, it is because he knows not their most notorious principles and practises. Nay even in England, in King Charles his Articles for the Spanish match, the Pope had the confidence to demand this Prerogative, and therefore himself added to the sixteenth Article, which freed them from Laws about Religion, [Ecclesiastici verò nullis legibus subjaceant, nisi suorum superiorum Ecclesiasticorum] that is [Ecclesiastic persons shall be under no Law, but of their Superior Ecclesiastics (or Churchmen)]. Is not this plain English? See Prins Introduct. p. 6. So that no Church-man must be under any Law of the Land, or Government of Secular Princes. And when they have such a strength in our own Garrisons, a foreign Enemy is easily let in. To the exciting of whom they will never be wanting, having their Agents in one garb or other at the ears of the Princes and States in Christendom, and of most of the Great and Noble persons that are deeply interested in the Government. Yea, and with Infidel Princes sometimes, as Cyril the Patriarch of Constantinople ⟨p. 360⟩proved, to the loss of his life, for being so much against the Papists. And the more cause have all Christian Princes and States to be vigilant against these incendiaries, 1. Because they trust to War and Violence, and build their Kingdom on it, and therefore study it day and night. 2. And because they have such a fry of politic Jesuits all abroad continually upon the design; whose contrivances and endeavours are day and night to bring Princes and Nations to their will, and to kindle divisions and wars among them to attain their Ends.
