But who must begin this last revolt? 'Tis most probable that France shall. Not Spain, which as yet is plunged in superstition, and is as much under the tyranny of the clergy as ever. Not the Emperor, who in temporals is subject to the Pope, and permits the Archbishop of Strigonium in his states, to teach that the Pope can take away the Imperial crown from him. ⟨p. 10⟩It cannot be any country but France, which a long time ago hath begun to shake off the yoke of Rome. 'Tis well known, how solemnly and openly war hath been declared against the Pope, by declaration of the King (ratified in all the parliaments) by the decisions of the assembly of the French clergy, by a disputation against the authority of the Pope, managed in the Sorbonne, solemnly, and by order of the Court. And to heighten the affront, the theses were posted up, even upon the gates of his Nuncio. Nothing of this kind had hitherto happened, at least in a time of peace, and unless the Pope had given occasion by his infolencies.
