demonstration, to consute the now pretended Romish ex∣emption of Priests, which M. Parsons calleth a plaine de∣monstration of my falshood, as though I had abused the sen∣tence * 1.1 and sense of Victoria: wherein if M. Parsons haue dealt iustly, then thinke (good Reader) that he can not doe me an iniurie. I shall easily acquit my selfe both by the euidence of the place of Victoria, and by the confession of their owne Doctour, in his like exposition of Victoria. First, the text standeth thus: l 1.2 The persons of Clergie-men (saith Victoria) are not altogether, nor in all things exempted from the ciuill power, neither by humane, nor by diuine lawes. And after, in * 1.3 the Prop. 8. If the libertie of Clergie-men (saith he) were to the manifest destruction of a Common-wealth, so that Ecclesia∣sticall persons should riotously worke the slaughter of Laicks, and the Pope would not remedie it, then secular Princes might pro∣uide for the good of their Laicks, notwithstanding the priuilege of the Clergie.
11 This is so contrary vnto the claime that the now Pope hath made of a power to exempt Ecclesiasticall persons, notwithstanding the contrarie opposition of Magistrates, that their owne Doctor (in his m 1.4 confutation of Bellarmine about this point) doth produce the iudgement of many scholasticall writers, as n 1.5 namely, Medina, Couarruuias, So∣tus, Victoria; vnto whom (which is our second point) he ad∣ioineth himselfe; who, although he say it is lawfull to ex∣empt the Clergie; yet doth he not defend an absolute neces∣sitie. And thus the Argument proueth to be a Demonstration of M. Parsons his ignorance. Another Demonstration of his idlenesse hee will giue himselfe in his next Addition: the summe wherof followeth.
