CHALLENGE.
YOur Iesuite grounded his Assertion of an Infallible faith due to be had, touching the Consecration of your Popes, up∣on a Supposition; and his Conclusion upon the like infallible Be∣liefe, which men ought to have concerning the Consecration of the Eucharist, wherein (saith he) if there should be any Vncer∣tainty, so that our faith should depend upon the Intention of the Priest, in like manner might every one doubt, whether he may adore the Sa∣crament, as being not truly consecrated; as also make doubt of the Priest himselfe, as being not rightly ordained. So he; who therefore in all these requireth a faith infallible. All these forecited Confes∣sions of your owne Divines, as first concerning your Definition of Idolatry, next in the point of Coadoration of the Creature, toge∣ther with the Creator. Thirdly, in your Beleefe of the ••anonization of Saints; and lastly, in the Consecration of the Pope, which are but humane Institutions, doe enforce much more a necessity of Infallibility, in every Adoration instituted by God.
Now among all the Schismes of Anti-Popes, sometimes of two, sometimes of three at once, and that for forty or fifty yeares space together, if any one of those Popes, in his time, had heard any Papist saying to him: you may not be offended, although I hold your Adversary (as for example Vrbane) to be the true Pope, and yeeld to him all Fealtie and Obedience, for I doe this to a Good Intent, in a Morall Certainty, that he is truly elected Pope; and in an habituall Condition, not to acknowledge him, if I knew him not to be Pope, wherein if I erre, it is but a Materiall Dis∣loyalty; would not the Pope, notwithstanding all these Preten∣ses, judge this man to be formally an Anti-Papist, and pierce him with his Thunder-bolt of Anathema, as Popes have often dealt with Cardinals, Princes, and Emperours in like Case? yet what is this Glo-wormes slimy shine to the glory of Divine Majesty?
