A cleare, sincere, and modest confutation of the vnsound, fraudulent, and intemperate reply of T.F. who is knowne to be Mr. Thomas Fitzherbert now an English Iesuite. Wherein also are confuted the chiefest obiections which D. Schulckenius, who is commonly said to be Card. Bellarmine, hath made against Widdrintons [sic] Apologie for the right, or soueraigntie of temporall princes. By Roger Widdrington an English Catholike.

Chap. 10.

Wherein Card. Bellarmines sixt and last argument, taken from the authoritie of Pope Innocent the third, comparing the spirituall and temporall power to the Sunne and Moone, is answered.

Secondly Card. Bellarmines reasons, which moued him to recall his opinion touching the subiection of S. Paul to Caesar, and of Cleargie men to temporall Princes, are confuted, and some of them by his own grounds; where∣by it is cleerely proued, that without iust cause he hath de∣parted from his ancient, and the common doctrine of the Schoole Diuines to follow the Canonists, and also that not without some note of temeritie hee hath condemned as improbable the common opinion of the Schoole Diuines, who also follow therein the Ancient Fathers.

Thirdly, the true state of the question concerning the

power of spirituall Pastors to exempt Cleargie-men from the authoritie of temporall Princes, is declared, whereby it is made apparant, how weake or strong an argument can be drawne from the Popes power to exempt Cleargie men from all subiection to temporall Princes, to proue his power to depriue temporall Princes of their Regall authoritie.
