A key for Catholics, to open the juggling of the Jesuits, and satisfy all…A key for Catholicks, to open the jugling of the Jesuits, and satisfie all…

The Minor hath two standing proofs so visible that he must be blind indeed that cannot see them. First there are the many Volumes that are written by both sides for their several forms: Bellarmine, Gretsor and the rest of the Italian faction proving that the Pope is the chief Power, and above a General Council, and the seat of Infallibility, and not to be judged by any, being himself the Judge of the whole world. And the other party proving that a General Council is above the Pope, and that he is to be judged by them, and may be deposed by them. If any say, that they are but few and no true Catholics of this Opinion, I answer, then a General Council are but few and no true Catholics, which yet is said by them to represent the whole Catholic Church: For the General Council of Constance and of Basil have peremptorily asserted it, and repeat it over and over; yea the Council of Basil say, Ses. ultim. that [Not one of the skilful did ever doubt but that the Pope was subject to the Judgement of a General Council, in things that concern faith. And that he cannot without their consent dissolve or remove a General Council; yea and that this is an Article of faith, which without destruction of salvation cannot be denied, and that the Council is above the Pope, de fide, and that it cannot be removed without their own consent, and that he is an heretic that is against these things] See ⟨p. 27⟩Binnius page 43. 79. 96. And Pope Eugenius owned this Council ibid. page 42. And for the Council of Constance, Martin the fifth was chosen by it, and present in it, and personally confirmed it in these words [Quodomnia & singula determinata, conclusa, & decreta, in materiis fidei per praesens concilium, conciliariter tenere & inviolabiliter observare volebat, & nunquam contrary quoquo modo. Ipsaque sic conciliariter facta approbat & ratificat, & non aliter, nec alio modo] (that is, what they did as a Council, and not what private members did) you see then even General Councils representing the Catholic Church do not only say that a Council is above the Pope, but make it an Article of faith, and damn those that deny it. (What then is become of Bellarmine and the rest of their champions?)
