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…

Here you see from a credible Bishop that lived in the thickest of their Clergy in France, that he knew not that any one person in the age that he lived in, was ever kept from the Lords Supper; but if he were, yet that was all: he was still a member of their Church, and familiar with the rest. Let the Christian world then observe by their practice, what an abominable hypocritical contest they make, for to prove the Power of Church-government to be only in their Pope, and the Prelates to whom he giveth it; and when they have done, do make no more use of the Power which they so pretend to, as not to exercise the Censures of the Church upon one offender there in an age. How were that man worthy to be thought of, or to be used, that would set all the world on fire by contending, that no Schoolmaster or Physician should be suffered in the whole world, but himself and such as he giveth power to: and when he hath done, will not by himself or his subjects and dependants teach or heal one person in an age? were such an one meet to live on the earth? Or should we judge that man in his wits that would believe him? O what a sty is the Roman Society! what dunghills are in their Assemblies? and yet must not the Shovel or the Besom be used once in an Age? what! no weed pulled up? no super fluous branch cut off? Is this the use of all the Canons of their Church concerning Excommunication, and abstention? Must the Christian world be at such a vast expense, to maintain so rich and numerous a Clergy for this? And must we cast out our Pastors to receive such as these? when we should be ashamed, if we had not exercised more of the cleansing power of the Keys in one Parish Church, then Albaspinaeus knew of among the Papists in a whole age.
