A small TREATISE Against the PRIMACY OF THE POPE.

WE may easily find and per∣ceive by the Experience of the World,

that Humane Nature is dis∣posed to all Evils, and en∣tangled by all manner of Vices. For what Nation is there in the Earth in which there is not some Vice, and many Disorders? And principally in this Age, be∣cause now there is such an exaltation of the great Em∣pire of Antichrist: which is the Source of all Evil, the Fountain of all Abominati∣on, and true Son of the De∣vil. For when God had sent his only Son to heal our Infirmities, and to reconcile the World unto himself by his Death; The Devil in∣stantly changed the Institu∣tions

of Christ into Human Traditions, and perverted the Holy Scriptures to his Purposes and Designs, by his Minister the Pope. And therefore if the Astrologers (who maintain that all things shall return to their own Element) say a Truth, the Pope shall descend into Hell: for he cannot belong unto God, or be his Servant, whilst under the Pretence of Religion, and the Com∣mand of God, he usurps unto himself the Authority of Christ, as appears in all his Works. Therefore it seemed best to me in this little Book, first to condemn

the Papacy, and afterwards the Doctrine of the said Pope. Tho I am not igno∣rant, that it is a difficult task, because there are many that will contradict it: Notwith∣standing we will condemn the Supremacy of the Pope, from these following Rea∣sons.

The First Part.

FIrst then, whereas the Papists say, that Rome is the Mother of all other Churches, and therefore the Bishop of Rome ought to be Superiour to all other Bi∣shops. I answer, that it is impossible; because the first Promise was made unto the Jews: And Rome was Hea∣then, when Jerusalem was Christian; for St. Paul wri∣ting to the Romans, says, through their Fall, Salvation * 1.1 is come unto the Gentiles.

And because the Papist cannot prove Rome to have been the Mother of all the other Churches, they there∣fore say the Bishop of Rome hath received his Power from St. Peter: to whom had been given the same Authority with Christ, and remains in the said Bishop of Rome to this day, which they endeavour to prove out of these following Texts, Thou art Peter, and upon this * 1.2 Rock I will build my Church, saith Christ; and a little af∣ter, And I will give thee the Keys of the Kingdom of Hea∣ven: And they alledge that other place of Scripture,

where Peter says to Christ, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee: Saying▪ that he that loves Christ is the chiefest, and Peter loving Christ, more than any of the other Apostles loved him, is there∣by the chiefest and principal of the Apostles.

Again, they affirm that he only was commanded to feed the Sheep of Christ, and be the Fisher of Men; and that he was the first Speaker, and made answer to Jesus, Behold, here are two * 1.3 Swords: from whence the Papists conclude, that Peter had a Temporal and a Spiri∣tual Sword.

They alledge also some Human Reasons, that as the Bees have one King, so all Christians ought to have one Pope. And that as there was of old amongst the Jews, a principal Priest or Bishop, (as Moses and Aa∣ron) * 1.4 so now it is necessary there should be a Bishop of the Bishops.

Here are two great False∣hoods in these few words: The one is, that the Autho∣rity and Supremacy over the Church was given to St. Pe∣ter: The other, that Peter was at Rome.

To the First, Where they say that that Authority was given him by these Words, Thou art Peter, &c. I An∣swer, that if you remark the preceding and following Words, in that Chapter of * 1.5 the Gospel, you will find that Christ did not speak of Peter, as he was barely a Man, but as he was a Belie∣ver: For the foregoing Words, are, how Peter had said, Thou art the Son of God: By which it is evident, that Christ did not say, that Pe∣ter was the Foundation of the Church, but spoke of the Faith of Peter. The

following Words declare how Christ called Peter Sa∣tan, but the Church of God is not founded upon Sa∣tan, therefore it is not founded upon Peter: for if the Church was founded upon St. Peter, it would have a weak Foundation: and like that House, a sandy Foundation that could not stand long, but, the Floods * 1.6 came, and the Winds blew, and beat upon that House; and it fell. In like manner would the Church fall, if it had so poor a Foundation. By which one may see from these Words in the Text, Thou art Peter, and upon this

Stone will I build my Church, must not be understood of Peter, but of the Faith of Peter; upon which the Church is founded. For he was a frail and weak Vessel, who denied Christ thrice. Their second Text is, that the Keys of Heaven were given to St. Peter. To * 1.7 which I Answer, That the Keys were given not only to Peter, but also to the other Apostles. And by this Ar∣gument, I answer, that he was not principal; because the rest received the same Authority of the Keys, that was committed to him. On which account

St. Paul calls St. Peter, the * 1.8 Pillar, not the Foundation of the Church; his Compa∣nion, not his Governour: And what are the Keys of Heaven, the Authority of pardoning Sins? No, it is the Preaching of the Gospel of God the Father, the Go∣spel, I say, of God; not the Pope's or Devil's. And as when a Door is open, every one who will, may en∣ter therein; so when God sent his sincere Command∣ments and Gospel, he open∣ed Truth, which is the Gate of Heaven: And gave unto Men an understanding of the Scriptures, which if they o∣bey'd,

they should thereby * 1.9 be saved. By which we see that the Gospel and the Truth of the Scriptures, are the only Gates that conduct Men to the Kingdom of God. Whence St. Paul says, Whosoever shall call upon the * 1.10 Name of the Lord, shall be sa∣ved: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a Preacher? And a little after, he saith, So then Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. And in the fourth Chapter to the Romans, he also saith,

But to him that worketh not, * 1.11 but believeth on him that justi∣fieth the Ungodly, his Faith is counted for Righteousness. Moreover, we will prove that the Preaching of the Gospel is the Key of Hea∣ven: in the eighth Chapter to the Romans, Paul affirms that, Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, shall be saved; and that the Preaching of the Gospel is the Door that leads to the Invocation of the Name of God: Whence it follows, that the Preach∣ing of the Gospel is the way and entrance of Salvati∣on.

Again, Paul affirms that Faith justifies, and that the Preaching of the Gospel causes Faith (which I have shewed before) whence it follows that the true Preach∣ing of the Word is the Door and Entrance to Justificati∣on. Like as Ground which is sowed may produce Fruit, if the Seed be not cast into Ground which is full of Thistles, or Thorns, or * 1.12 Stones; and yet altho it be sowed in such Ground, it will a little meliorate the Earth. So if the Word of God be sowed in the Hearts of honest People, or such as have a Zeal for Truth, it

will confirm them in all Goodness; but if any be ob∣stinate and perverse they cannot impute the Fault un∣to the Scriptures, which is really in themselves.

Therefore we ought to do our utmost endeavours to cause the Gospel to be Preach'd throughout all the World; as it is written, All Power is given unto me in Hea∣ven * 1.13 and in Earth: Go ye there∣fore, and teach all Nations, bap∣tizing them in my Name.

Since then it is proved, that the Keys of Heaven is the Authority of Preaching; and that the Authority of Preaching was given to all the Apostles.

I cannot see how by that Text, any more Authority * 1.14 was given to Peter, than to the other Disciples: And St. Paul says, he was not a whit behind the very chiefest Apostles.

Then if he said true, St. Peter was not above him: And if I were ask'd which of them was the better, I should say Paul, because he Preach'd more than them all.

But we ought to account certainly, that the Spirit of God was poured out upon * 1.15 them all; and that the same Spirit of God which filled St. Peter, filled also St. Paul: from whence may be pro∣ved,

that neither of them was Superior to the other.

Again, the Papists say, that after Christ was raised from the Dead, he ask'd * 1.16 who loved him, and that Peter answered, he loved him, and therefore (say they) he was the chief A∣postle.

By which Reason every good Man ought to have the Supremacy over every o∣ther, because each good and pious Person loves God: for it is the Duty and Office of every true Christian. Now the Question is not, Whe∣ther Peter was faithful, pi∣ous, good, a holy and true

Christian; but whether he was principal Head, Go∣vernour, and King above and over the rest of the Apo∣stles, and Ministers of Jesus Christ? For if the Pope would have the Authority of St. Peter, which was to Preach, I would be content to give it him: but he re∣gards but little the Precept of God; for Jesus departed * 1.17 into a Mountain alone, when he perceived the Jews would make him a King, and Emperor: And the Pope by Wrong, or Violence, or Deceit, hath made all Nations subject unto him.

Jesus wore a Crown of Thorns, and a Purple Robe was thrown upon him in Derision, and all the Multi∣tude mocked and spit upon him: But the Pope decks himself with a Triple Crown, and is adored by Kings, Princes, Emperors, and all Estates of Persons. Jesus wash'd his Disciples * 1.18 Feet, and Kings kiss the Feet of the Pope: Jesus pay'd Tribute, but the Pope * 1.19 receives, and pays none: Jesus opened his Mouth and * 1.20 taught the People, the Pope takes his ease and rest in his Castle of St. Angelo. Jesus * 1.21 healed all Diseases, the Pope

rejoices in Blood and Mas∣sacres. Christ bore his Cross * 1.22 upon his Shoulders, the Pope is born upon the Shoulders of Men. Christ came with Peace and Po∣verty into the World, the Pope delights in stirring up War amongst the Kings and Princes of the Earth. Christ * 1.23 came meekly, humbly, and compassionately, sitting up∣on an Ass, but the Pope rides in all Pomp and Splen∣dor. Christ was a Lamb, * 1.24 the Pope is a Wolf. Christ * 1.25 was Poor, the Pope would have all Christian King∣doms under his Power and Command. Christ drove * 1.26

the Money-Changers, and * 1.27 Sellers out of the Temple, the Pope receives them in: Jesus instituted the Sacra∣ment * 1.28 in commemoration of himself; the Pope formed the Mass, a Master piece of Imposture. Jesus ascended * 1.29 into Heaven, and the Pope falls into Hell. God hath * 1.30 commanded that we should have no other God but him; and the Pope makes himself to be honoured like unto a great God. God forbids us * 1.31 to commit Idolatry, and the Pope is the Author of I∣mage-Worship. God hath prohibited swearing in vain; * 1.32 but the Pope allows his Friends

Perjury. God hath com∣manded the use of Festivals in good Works, Prayers, and Devotions, but the Pope allows Pomp, Games, Ideleness, and Mymichry to be exercised on those days in Churches. God hath forbid Murther, and killing any Person, and 'tis a mat∣ter of great Compassion and Sorrow, to see how cruelly the Pope persecutes Christi∣ans. God foretold this Per∣secution in the four and twentieth Chapter of Mat∣thew; Many false Prophets * 1.33 (says Christ) shall arise at that time; and because Iniquity shall abound, the Love of many shall

wax cold: but the Gospel shall be preached in all the World; when ye therefore shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spo∣ken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the holy Place, then let them which be in Judea, flee into the Mountains. And is not this come to pass now? Yea, for there are many Wolves in Sheeps cloath∣ing; who under the pre∣tence of Religion, obscure the true Doctrine of Christ: And almost all Abominati∣ons were introduced into the Holy Place, that is to say, brought into the Church of God.

But to return to our Mat∣ter, God hath forbid Adul∣tery; notwithstanding the Pope, who will be obedient to his Father the Devil, com∣mands his Priests to keep se∣veral Concubines and Har∣lots, rather than join them∣selves to any in Marriage. God hath forbid stealing from either Man, Woman, or Child; but the Pope is such an old Thief, that he robs even God of his Ho∣nour, and transfers it to himself. God has forbid bearing false Witness against any one, but the Pope crys all is good Grist which comes to his Mill. God

hath commanded us to be content with what is our own, but the Pope will have every House pay him a Tribute: to conclude, he is in every thing opposite to God. But I cannot blame him, for he fulfills the com∣mand of Paul, which says, Children obey your Parents, and * 1.34 the Demon of Hypocrisy is his Father, to whom he pays all Obedience. The Devil walketh about as a roaring Lion, * 1.35 (saith St Peter) seeking whom he may devour. And does not the Pope do the same? Yea certainly, for he not only ordains wicked and unjust Laws; but he pursues to

Death, all who have a true Zeal and Love towards God.

But to return to the Pri∣macy of Peter. I ask how many Kingdoms St. Peter had under his Dominion? For it was impossible that all Kingdoms should be un∣der him, when St. James was then Bishop of Jerusalem, and that City then Christian. Neither can I see how Peter should be the Chief: For St. Paul says to the Corinthi∣ans concerning the Apostles, All are yours, and you are * 1.36 Christs, and Christ is Gods. Likewise St. Peter calls him∣self by no other Title, but

Peter an Apostle of Jesus Christ, * 1.37 by which it is manifest, that we are not Peter's, but Peter ours. Again, when Paul came to Antioch he withstood Peter to his Face, because he was to be blamed: which he * 1.38 would not have done if Pe∣ter had had any such Authori∣ty, or could not have lyed (as they say): but (as I have said thereupon) Paul seeing the Dissimulation of Peter, said unto him, If thou, being a * 1.39 Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We who are Jews by Nature, and not Sinners of the Gentiles, knowing

that a Man is not justified by the Works of the Law, but by the Faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the Faith of Christ, and not by the Works of the Law, &c. Let us then see how it is possible that Peter should be Chief; for if he was Princi∣pal, who loved Christ the best, it is evident that St. John would be the chiefest of the Apostles, for Christ ap∣pointed him to take care of his Mother, and John lay in * 1.40 the Bosom of Jesus, whilst he Supped.

But to the Matter in hand. I ask, Whether a lawful

Council can be called but by the Pope? To which, I am sure, the Papists will an∣swer Negatively. Then I ask, If the Pope can call a Council before his Election: To which, I know, they will reply, he cannot; if then no Council is lawful without a Pope, and that none who is labouring to be elected Pope can assemble a Coun∣cil, then the Council which confirms the Pope Superior over the Church, is not law∣ful; because it was not con∣vocated by a Pope, being there was then none ele∣cted.

But being thus driven from that Argument, they fly to another, and say, that Christ commanded Peter to feed his Sheep: but he com∣manded * 1.41 all the rest to do the same, saying, Go ye therefore and teach all Nations, baptizing * 1.42 them in my Name. But the Pope does not obey the Commandment of Jesus Christ: For he doth not feed his Sheep, but devours them, like a roaring Lion who walks about to seek his * 1.43 prey. Now I wish the Pope would obey the Command∣ment which God gave unto St. Peter: For I should not regret his having Authority

to preach Christ to all the World, but he leaves the preaching of the Gospel, and usurps the Authority of be∣ing Head of the Church, which of right belongs to none but Christ.

'Tis true, the Pope is Primate of the Church, but 'tis not the Divine or Catho∣lick Church, but the Diabo∣lical one: For he transgres∣ses the Commandment gi∣ven in general to St. Peter and the rest of the Apostles: For when Christ sent his twelve Disciples to preach the Gospel of Repentance, and the Kingdom of God, he said, Behold, I send you forth * 1.44

as Sheep amongst Wolves: But the Bishop of Rome is like a Wolf amongst Sheep, eat∣ing and devouring the poor Sheep of Christ; and when they are hid by Fear, he takes the Voice of a Sheep to betray and devour them. He excuses himself from preaching, upon its being too low and mean an Office for him, saying, he hath low∣er Officers and Ministers for that Work; whilst he is ta∣ken up with seeing and attending to the singing out of the Masses. But I answer to the first, That if the Office of preaching was not below St. Peter, who had received

all his Authority and Power from Christ himself, me∣thinks that those who call themselves the Successors of Peter, should not esteem the Office too mean for them.

St. Paul writes to Timothy what every Bishop ought to be; A Bishop (saith he) must be blameless, the Husband of one Wife, Sober, of good Be∣haviour, * 1.45 given to Hospitality, apt to teach, not given to Wine, no Striker, not given to filthy Lucre, but one that ruleth well his own House, having his Chil∣dren in subjection with all Gra∣vity. Now let us arraign the Pope before St. Paul, and ex∣amine whether by St. Paul's

Rule he be guilty or not. The first Command to a Bishop is to be blameless; but we have proved that the Bishop of Rome transgresses all the Commandments of God, by which he stands Guilty. The second is, that he be the Husband of one Wife, in which the Bishop of Rome errs mightily; for he allows Concubines, and counts fil∣thy Fornication better than lawful and honest Marriage. The third is, that he should be Sober, and full of Wis∣dom and Vertue, which the Bishop of Rome very little observes. The fourth is, that he be Liberal, given to

Hospitality, not greedy of filthy Lucre; but the Bishop of Rome is full of Avarice and Oppression. The fifth is, that he be apt to Teach: but our Devil, or Diabolical Father accounts maintaining the Glory of God by preach∣ing, is too mean an Office for him; notwithstanding his Predecessor Peter, either preached the Gospel, or sin∣ned against God, in not ob∣serving that Command∣ment; Go ye, and preach * 1.46 the Gospel over all the World. But he will Im∣prison, Slay, and Burn those who do preach the Word, and would himself be their

Executioner, if he did not find others to do it in his stead; by which we may see that he loves himself more than he loves God. What shall I say more? He diso∣beys all the Orders of S. Paul, give Verdict therefore whe∣ther he be Guilty or Inno∣cent.

But now we will proceed to their other Arguments, and first to their maintain∣ing Peter to be the Chief, for which they alledge his being commanded to feed the * 1.47 Sheep: To which I answer, that all the Apostles were commanded as well as he,

to feed the Sheep of Christ, in these Words of the Go∣spel, Go ye all and preach, &c. * 1.48 For the preaching of the Go∣spel signifies nothing else but feeding his Sheep. And their other Argument is not more substantial, when they say Peter was a Fisher of Men; for I say, Andrew and John were by the same Au∣thority made Fishers of Men: For Fishers of Men are really nothing but Prea∣chers of Christ.

Now if the preaching of the Gospel be unlawful, without Authority from Peter or the Pope; then the preaching of St. Paul was

not lawful, because he did not receive his Autho∣rity from Peter; notwith∣standing the Pope accounts himself a God, saying, I cannot lye, therefore I have spoken Truth: To which I answer, that if he be not greater than Peter, he may lye; for Peter denied Christ thrice, Peter then lyed thrice: * 1.49 and St Paul afterwards re∣proved * 1.50 him for his Dissimu∣lation.

But the Bishop of Rome lies notoriously, if in nothing else, but in his pretending to be the Head of the Chri∣stian Church, and having the Keys of Heaven. For if the

Pope have the Keys of Hea∣ven, I make this Query: When the Pope is dead, and none hath the Keys, how can any Soul enter into Heaven? No Person till he be elected Pope having the Keys: whence it must follow, that the Pope being dead, Hea∣vens Gates are closed. But it is a Folly to say, that the Pope hath the Keys of Hea∣ven and Hell, when Christ is our only Mediator, our * 1.51 Gate, Head, Shepherd, Re∣deemer, and Soveraign Lord; who (after he had taught, instructed, done ma∣ny Miracles, and suffered Death for us, and pronoun∣ced * 1.52

Salvation to all that be∣lieve * 1.53 on his Name, and from the power of his Passion faithfully believes to be sa∣ved) ascended into Heaven with great Honour and Glo∣ry, and is seated on the right hand of God his Father, where he intercedes for us; remaining for ever with his Blessed Father, and the Holy Ghost, one God in Trinity, and three Persons in Unity, full of Power and Vertue, and free from Vice and Sin: remaining with us by his Spi∣rit, and being in every re∣spect equal with his Father, till he shall come in Glory * 1.54 to be Judg of all the World:

whose Goodness is inscruta∣ble, Mercy unexpressible, and Glory most inestimable; He is our Governour and Master, He is our Shepherd and Redeemer, and we are his Subjects and Sheep; we * 1.55 are ransomed by his Blood, and washed by the Waters of Baptism, to shew that we are his Sheep; none else is * 1.56 our Pastor or Lord: neither the Pope, or any on Earth, can be our Head; else we should become a Monster having two Heads. Paul * 1.57 writing to the Corinthians, says, that all is ours; Peter, Apollos, and all the other A∣postles were ours, and we

are Christs, and Christ is Gods; whereby it appears, that Peter is not a Head, but a Minister unto us. There∣fore we must esteem God our Spiritual Father, who by the Passion of Christ, took from us all the pains of Death and Hell, to all who believe in him: that is the Spirit of Adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father. If the * 1.58 Pope then will be called our Spiritual Father, we shall have three Fathers, whereof the one is Carnal, and two Spiritual: neither can the Pope be so, for as Christ is the Immaculate Lamb, and only Son of God, endued

with all Power: on the o∣ther side, the Pope is an un∣clean and ravenous Wolf, and only Son of the Devil his Father, from whom he hath received his Authority and Office.

But I would fain know, whether the Pope be our Spiritual, Carnal, or Diabo∣lical Father. In the first place, I see not how he can be our Carnal Father, be∣cause he lives celibate, and makes a profession of Cha∣stity: neither can he be our Spiritual Father, being so addicted to the World, and Worldliness; then it follows that he must be our Diaboli∣cal

Father. Let us therefore conclude, that as it was said of Christ, Thou art my Son, * 1.59 this day have I begotten thee; God will say to the Pope, Thou art my Enemy, this day have I destroyed thee: and as Christ was of the Or∣der of Melchisedek, so the * 1.60 Pope is of the Order Diabo∣lick. But as Christianity is Spiritually very good, and well designed; yet if there be not good Order to pre∣serve it, it must decay: As the Body of a Man could not be healthy with two Heads, four Arms, or four Feet; so these Christian Countries could never well subsist un∣der

the distraction of two e∣qual Soveraigns. But some may question me then, and say, What then, you would not have any Kings or Em∣perours? But to that I an∣swer, that God who sent his * 1.61 only Son down into the World, made him King over it, putting all Spiritual and Temporal Authority into his Hands; he by his Sove∣raignty * 1.62 hath placed Kings to be his Leiutenants over the Earth; but he hath not or∣dain'd any Supream Bishop: for we find none so autho∣rised by the Holy Scripture. Now if the Papists say, that the Pope is Heir to him, I

would advise him then, to stay till Christ were dead be∣fore they seased upon his Kingdom: because no Heirs take the Possession of their Inheritances, till after the Death of their Predecessors.

Moreover the Papists say, that as under the old Law * 1.63 there was an High Priest or Arch-Bishop of the Jews; so there ought now to be an Head or Supream Minister amongst Christians. To which I answer, that the Priesthood of Aaron and Mo∣ses represented the Suprema∣cy of our Saviour Christ, not the Pope: For Christ who came down to the Earth, * 1.64

and suffered Death for us; says of himself, that he was * 1.65 our Messias, and that he was the true Bread which came * 1.66 down from Heaven, and our only Shepherd; for St. John testifies that, he says, I am the Door; he that entereth not by * 1.67 me into the Sheepfold, but climb∣eth some other way, is a Thief; but he that entereth in by the Door, is the Shepherd of the Sheep. To him the Porter o∣peneth, and the Sheep hear his Voice: And he calleth his own Sheep by name, and leadeth them out, and the Sheep follow him, for they know his Voice; and a Stranger will they not fol∣low. But the Pope not com∣ing

by Christ, is an abomina∣ble Thief: therefore all true and good Sheep ought to fly from him: For he comes to devour, not feed them; to prey upon them, not instruct them. But the Papists being thus scourged with their own Rod (to wit, with their own Argument) say farther, that after the Dis∣ciples had preached about the Cities, after they return∣ed to Jesus, he asked them; Whether they had had any Sword with them? and that they answered, Here are two Swords. Now they urge further, that the one of the Swords signifies the Spiritu∣al,

the other the Temporal Power: which reason (as shall be shewed hereafter) is sottish and vain. For first, we ought to consider from whence the Apostles came; they had been sent to preach * 1.68 Christ to all People, and to shew * 1.69 the Light to those that sat in Darkness. Secondly, we must consider the Power Christ had on Earth, for he said himself, that his Kingdom was not of this World: and there are two sorts of Autho∣rity, the one Spiritual, the other Temporal. On which account St. Paul writes in his first Epistle to the Corinthi∣ans, as the Body is one, and * 1.70

hath many Members, for seve∣ral uses; so there are also in the Church of Christ, a∣mongst the Spiritual Mini∣sters; first, Apostles; seconda∣rily, Prophets; thirdly, Teach∣ers: and some Temporal Ministers, as Kings, Em∣perours, Governours, and Leiutenants. Now Christ was a Spiritual Minister, as he testifies of himself, saying, My Kingdom is not of this World. And again, when two Brethren came unto him and requested him to divide their Inheritance between them: he answered, Man, * 1.71 who made me a Judg, or a Divi∣der over you? The third thing

to be considered, is, that Christ spake to the Disciples concerning the Swords Iro∣nically. Fourthly, that all the Apostles answered toge∣ther, Behold, here are two Swords. Fifthly, you may observe in the Text, that the Apostles understood not what Christ meant.

By all which things we may easily understand that Text; for after the Apostles had been sent to preach the Gospel of Truth, when they returned to Jesus, he said un∣to them, Had you any Sword with you then? (as much as to say) when I sent you first out, you would

have Staves with you, but now what do you think, Hath not my Grace kept you from all Evil? Or else, What need have you had of a Sword? Then his Disci∣ples (not Peter only) un∣derstanding not what Christ said, answered, There were two Swords.

By which we see Christ spoke Ironically, and that all the Disciples made an∣swer, not Peter alone; as if he should say, I have two Swords, the one signifying my Temporal Authority, and the other signifying my Spiritual Jurisdiction: nei∣ther would or could Christ

give a Temporal Authority, forasmuch as he was a Spiri∣tual Minister. And the Pa∣pists err extreamly in one Argument, where they say, that Cephas is a Head, where∣as in Truth, Cephas is a Stone, (But when these their Argu∣ments are weakned) then they cry it is probable, that Peter was the chief Apostle, because he spake first at that time, concerning our Dis∣pute, and so answered in be∣half of all the Apostles.

But it is more likely he was not the Prince over the rest, because St. Paul says, For I suppose I was not a whit * 1.72 behind the very chiefest Apostles;

for in nothing I am behind the * 1.73 very chiefest Apostles: in which number Peter is com∣prised. Now we must not dispute what is most proba∣bly true, but what is most certainly true. Nevertheless let us examine whether it be probable or not: For An∣drew sometimes spake first, and it is not to be doubted but that each of them some∣times spake first; but it does not therefore follow, that he who speaks sometimes first, must be Bishop of the Bi∣shops: his first speaking at that time, may signify that he was of a very couragious Spirit; or else that he could

have desired to have been the greatest: But Christ said, They that humble themselves like a little Child, shall be the great∣est * 1.74 in the Kingdom of Heaven; neither is there any lofty proud Title in the Kingdom or Church of Christ, as you may see in that Magnificate in Luke, for God loves Hu∣mility; * 1.75 and Christ says, in Luke, If any Man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and Servant unto all And in another Evangelist saith, Whoso receiveth one such little * 1.76 Child in my Name, receiveth me; and unless ye become as little Children, ye shall not be fit for the Kingdom of Heaven. Nor

does Peter attribute so high a Title to himself, as the Pope takes upon him. For he writes thus in his Epistle, Peter a Servant and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, and no more. * 1.77 But the Pope what does he say? Paul the Third, by the Grace of God, the most Holy Pope and Father, Deputy to Peter, and Vicar to Christ, King of Kings, Prince of Prin∣ces, Bishop of the Bishops, and God on Earth. Behold there∣fore, how he calls him∣self God, and blasphemes Christ. Behold how he is filled and puffed up with Pride and Vanity. Behold how large and fair a Name

and Title he takes, tho he be a venemous Serpent; cal∣ling himself the most Holy Father, whereas he is a de∣testable Thief, and conta∣minated with all Unclean∣ness. He calls himself the Pope, which Word signifies Father unto all Nations, whilst he brings them to de∣struction. Nay he calls him∣self the Vicar of Christ, and Deputy of St. Peter, and God upon Earth; whilst he is Vicar to Belzebub, Deputy to Lucifer, and a terrestrial Demon: for he would seem to be very Good, whilst he is very Wicked. And it is no wonder if the Ministers

of the Devil appear brave and triumphant outwardly, for St. Paul writes to the Co∣rinthians, No marvel what false * 1.78 Apostles, and deceitful Workers can transform themselves into; Satan himself being transformed into an Angel of Light.

Wherefore you may easi∣ly discern the true Ministers of the Word, from the false Anti-Christs; because the true Apostles walk after the Spirit of God, and the false walk after the Flesh. Let us therefore see whether the Pope be the Minister of God, or the Devil: which I fear he will prove; pro∣claiming himself a good

Man, a most Holy Bi∣shop, a King of Kings: whereas he is the Tyrant of Tyrants: all others exercise∣ing their Tyranny over Bo∣dies, but this Devil, Wolf, Tyrant, exercises his over the Souls of Men, constrain∣ing the poor and simple Lambs of God to forsake their Faith, whereby they are saved, to follow his A∣bominable Traditions and Diabolical Precepts. Which if they refuse to obey, to wit, adoring Images, and offering to his Idols and Devils, he burns, wracks, and torments them, or forces them to a costly Recantation.

During the Reign of my late Father the King, when the Pope's Name was blot∣ted out of our Books, he stopt the Mouths of Christi∣ans with his six Articles, as if he would choak them.

And at this day in France, before any one is burnt, a little before the Execution, they cut out his Tongue, that they might not speak. Con∣sidering then that the Pope is the Minister of Lucifer, I am in good hopes, that as Lucifer fell from Heaven in∣to Hell, so the Pope his Vi∣car will fall from the great Glory of his Papacy, into contemptible Derision.

For David hath said in the * 1.79 Psalmes, With the pure thou wilt shew thy self pure, and with the froward thou wilt shew thy self froward. Again, the Pope hath taken God's Ho∣nour away from him, there∣fore, I hope, God will devest him of his Honours and Glory. As Mary the Mother of God saith, He hath put * 1.80 down the Mighty from their Seats, and exalted them of low degree. Take heed of thy self then (O Pope) for if thou tumblest, thou wilt have a terrible fall. As a Man who is got up into an high Tower, would have a huge leap if he should fall

down; so thou who hast ex∣alted thy self into the Hea∣vens, wouldst fall down in∣to the Abyss of Hell: As Christ foretold of Tyre and * 1.81 Sidon.

But to return to the Pope's Primacy: I know very well that the Scripture speaks of one God▪ one Faith, one * 1.82 Baptism, but no mention of one Pope. Now if Peter had been a God on Earth, and Vicar of Christ, we should have been baptized into his Name. But Paul * 1.83 (who affirms himself to be inferior to none of the other Apostles) will not allow us to be baptized in his Name:

nay he is so far from having us baptized in the Name of Peter, that he will not have it said, I am of Peter, or of Paul, or of Apollos.

And now that the Papists cannot prove by the Scrip∣tures that we ought to have one Pope, they run to Simi∣litudes; saying, that as the Creatures in the Earth (as the Bees) have a King over them; so all Christians ought to have one King and Pope. To which I will an∣swer three ways: First, That their Reason is not extracted from the Holy Scripture, but from their own Invention. Secondly, That all the Bees

which are in the World, or in Christendom, have not a King. Thirdly, That if all Bees have their King; so have we, to wit, Jesus * 1.84 Christ.

But the Papists will then say, That if we condemn the Papacy, we shall condemn our fore-Fathers as Here∣ticks. I will answer to that, as God answered Elijah, * 1.85 when he said to the Lord that the Children of Israel had forsaken his Covenant, and were unjust and wicked, Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the Knees which have not bowed to Baal. Nei∣ther must we imagine, but

that there have been many Christians in the World, some of which have spoken openly against the Papacy, and others that have kept their Knowledg and Senti∣ments to themselves: but the Papists will not suffer us to know more than our Fa∣thers. But I know very well, that our Religion consists not of old Customs, or the Usage of our Fathers; but in the Holy Scriptures, and Divine Word: And that (if you think Antiquity and Custom makes a thing good) is older than the World: For God is the Word, who was without

beginning, and shall conti∣nue * 1.86 without end; and if you think, Truth ought to be followed and obeyed, all Truth is contained in that Book. Our Religion ought not to be steered or govern∣ed by our fore-Fathers: for Ezekiel saith, Walk ye not in the Statutes of your Fathers, for they * 1.87 were polluted. Moreover, our God, and Saviour, and Re∣deemer, Jesus Christ, said, I am the Way, and the Truth, and * 1.88 the Life; he did not say, I am the old Custom.

The Papists then say, that tho Christ did not indeed ordain the Pope, yet he left it to the Church to do it. To

which I ask, how Peter then was elected the universal Bi∣shop? For all things necessary to our Salvation are written in the Bible, as St. Paul testi∣fies in his Epistle to Timothy, * 1.89 where he says, But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, &c. And that from a Child thou hast known the Ho∣ly Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto Salvation, through Faith which is in Christ Jesus.

The Second Part.

BUT to what Purpose do we go about to prove that Peter is not the Head of the Church? For al∣low he had been so, that does not conclude that the Bi∣shop of Rome is the principal Head: For the Papists them∣selves cannot prove that Pe∣ter was ever at Rome, because by the Scripture they cannot prove it; nor by any true History: Therefore the Bi∣shop of Rome loses one of his great Titles, of, Papa ex

Jure Divino; for no Authori∣ty can be, ex Jure Divino, un∣less it be confirmed by the Scripture.

Well then, we have him in a great plunge, since he must be forced to say, Paul Pope by Human Traditi∣ons; for if he be not Bishop by the Divine Word, but only by Human Traditions, then all Kings, Princes and other Magistrates, may ab∣rogate the Statutes and Insti∣tutions made by their Fathers, as we have seen before.

If every one then had known this, the Pope had been poor long ago. Now the Papists say, that the Bi∣shop

of Rome was instituted by the Primitive Church; but no more than Mahomet, for they began near the same Age, and the Pope was ele∣cted, when all manner of wicked Errors were advan∣ced in Christendom.

Nevertheless to prove that Peter was at Rome, they produce the Clementine Epi∣stles, but we will prove them counterfeited, and fal∣sified by the Papists: For in them it is written that Peter was at Rome, in the second Year of the Reign of Claudi∣us, and lived there twenty five Years: but Christ was Crucified in the eighteenth

Year of Tiberius, and he reigned five Years after the Crucifixion: Caius Caligula reigned four Years; and Claudius two; which makes it eleven Years before Peter went to Rome: and in the eighteenth Year of our Lord, Paul found St. Peter * 1.90 in Jerusalem; by which we see their History is false. And we will prove that it is not true that Clement wrote those Epistles unto James, for James was dead before Cle∣ment was Bishop.

Moreover, St. Peter was the Bishop of the Jews, and not of the Gentiles: for St. Paul glories in several places * 1.91

that he was the Apostle of the Gentiles. Again, St. Paul writing to the Galatians, says, that he went up to Jerusalem * 1.92 to see Peter; therefore 'tis most probable, that Peter dwelt for the most part in Jerusalem: or in the adjacent Cities. And here we may see the Craft of the Devil, and the Power of God: for notwithstanding the Devil (to establish his Power) in∣vented the Clementine Epi∣stles; (tho they be counter∣feited by the Papists) yet I say, God by his Goodness and Clemency towards his Elect, hath caused the said Epistles to be so written, that

every one who hath read Hi∣story, may plainly compre∣hend and understand, that they were feigned by Ser∣pentine Subtilty, and by some abominable and ob∣durate Papists.

In several other Instances also, we may discover their false Subtilty; for notwith∣standing that the Holy Scripture saith, Idols are sensless things, and without Life, they have often framed Images, which sometimes rouled their Eyes, sometimes turned their Heads, some∣times moved their Hands, and sometimes their whole Bodies: by which means

they made People believe, that an Image made of Wood, heard and understood them; all of it being made so to the Life, that (as they turned them) they made the Head and Eyes of the Image to turn also. But, as Daniel with Ashes or Sand, pro∣ved the Idol Bel did not eat, but his Priests: So by the Holy Scriptures, the confes∣sion of several Persons, and by Observation and Experi∣ence, they have been proved to have been meer Ma∣chines, and other Instru∣ments.

The Third Part.

SInce we see that Peter neither was the Chief, nor was at Rome; (conside∣ring that they say the Pope cannot lye) we will examine whether they themselves have not acknowledged that no Person ought to be the Primate of the Church.

For Gregory the First hath written, that none ought to be Pope. Gregory was then Bishop of Rome, and Mau∣rice was Emperour, and there were many Heresies in

Christendom; and the Bi∣shop and Patriarch of Con∣stantinople, at that time pre∣tended to be the Universal Bishop, who was much fa∣voured by Maurice: But Gregory declared then in his Writings, that there ought to be no Principal in the Church.

And now the Papists are overthrown by this, they say that by the consent of the general Councils, and Do∣ctors, an Universal Bishop was established under the Name of Pope: whereas for four or five hundred Years after Christ, there was no Person in the World that

was distinguished or called by that Name. Moreover, when there were several contentions about the Papa∣cy, all learned Persons de∣tested the Opinion that there must be a Pope: and some∣times the very Bishops of Rome themselves abhorred it. And St. Cyprian, writing * 1.93 concerning the Unity of the Church, saith, There is one Bishop, of whom every Bishop holds a share. For as there are many Beams in the Sun, yet the brightness is but one: Many Branches in a Tree, several Streams from a Fountain; in like man∣ner the Church is but one,

which being illuminated by the Brightness of our Lord, who extends his Beams throughout all the World, yet nevertheless the Clarity is but one, to wit, Jesus Christ. Likewise the same * 1.94 Cyprian, being Bishop of Car∣thage, calls the Bishop of Rome his Companion. More∣over, St. Jerom, Bishop of * 1.95 Rome, humbles the Stile of Primate; saying, if there be any question of the Au∣thority of a Primate of the Church, altho there are Bishops of Nations and Ci∣ties, it follows not therefore that there is a Primate over all the World, for the World

is much greater than any Ci∣ty. And also in the Council of Carthage it was decreed, that none should be called the First or Primate of the Bishops.

What shall I say more, * 1.96 'twas consented and agreed by all, for six hundred Years after Christ, that none ought to be Pope. How could Peter then have been Pri∣mate, or the Pope his Suc∣cessor? For Peter in his Epi∣stles does not command, but pray and beseech the Mini∣sters of God. Likewise when he is accused for ha∣ving communicated with the Gentiles, he does not burn * 1.97

his Accusers, as the Pope does his: but excuses him∣self, and shews a Submission.

Again, when he was sent to Samaria by his Brethren * 1.98 and Companions, he readi∣ly obey'd their Decree and went down to that City.

The Fourth Part.

OF this Detestable and Diabolical Pope, the Holy Scriptures in several Places give us a plenary De∣monstration; some of which I shall shew unto you. As first, in the fourth of Daniel, it is set down how that Daniel (that was beloved by Bel∣shazzar) saw a Vision, which appeared to him thus: I saw, says Daniel, in my Vision by Night, and behold, the four Winds of the Heaven strove up∣on the great Sea, and four great

Beasts came up out of the Earth; the first was like a Lion, and had Eagles Wings; and I beheld till the Wings thereof were pluck'd, and a Man's Heart was given to it. The second Beast was like un∣to a Bear, and it raised up it self on one side; and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much Flesh. The third was like unto a Leopard, which had upon the Back of it four Wings of a Fowl, and the said Beast had also four Heads. After this I beheld the fourth Beast, which was dread∣ful and terrible, and strong ex∣ceedingly; and it had great Iron Teeth; and devoured every thing; and it had ten Horns. And be∣hold, there came up among them

another little Horn, before whom there were three of the first Horns pluck'd up by the Roots; and it had Eyes, and a Mouth speaking Blasphemies. And I beheld till I saw the Ancient of Days did sit, and I beheld, saith Daniel, till the Judgment was set for the Horn, and till the Beast was slain, and his Body given to the burning Flame: and it shall be for a time, times, and a half. Now the four Winds, and the four Beasts (as Melancthon, Oecolampadius, and all the Learned Writers say) signify the four Mo∣narchies; the first was that of the Assyrians, whereof Nebuchadnezzar was Empe∣rour;

who (after he had been made like unto the Beasts for a long Season) had the understanding of a Man given him again. The se∣cond signified the Empire of the Persians, which was a Dominion of great Cruelty. The third notified the Greci∣an Empire, which was im∣mediately raised to its Gran∣dure; and the four Wings, and four Heads signify the four Emperours which suc∣ceeded Alexander, and divi∣ded amongst them the Greci∣an Monarchy: For Seleucus was made King of Syria, Ptolomy got Egypt, Antigonus Asia, and Cassander Greece.

The fourth Beast signifies the terrible Monarchy of the Romans, out of which arises a little Horn, which is Anti-Christ; and Anti-Christ hath two Eyes, viz. the Pope, and Mahomet: For notwith∣standing that the Pope doth not speak against Christ (as Mahomet doth); nevertheless I answer, that the Pope is as much, or rather more, an Anti-Christ than Mahomet. For as he who flatters us, is our Enemy (tho he seems to be our Friend): So the Pope who stiles himself the Servant of the Servants of God, is the Enemy of Christ; whilst under the Shadow of Re∣ligion,

he puts in practice all Hypocrisy, Idolatry, Dissimulation, and all sort of Traditions: his Time shall be a Time, Times, and a half; that is to say, his Days shall be shortned: For the number of seven stands for a perfect number in Scrip∣ture: for St. Paul says, the just fall seven times a day, to wit, often. Now the half of seven, is three and a half; therefore we must interpret by that imperfect time, that those Days shall be shortned. St. Paul also in two Epistles, Prophesies of the Pope; first, writing to the Thessalonians, he says, Now we beseech you * 1.99

Brethren, by the coming of our Lord, that ye be not soon shaken in Mind, or be troubled, neither by Spirit, nor by Word, nor by Letter, as that the Day of Christ is at hand. Let no Man deceive you by any Means, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that Man of Sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition: who opposeth and exalteth himself above God, so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God, &c. Again, St. Paul writing to Timothy, speaks thus: Now the Spirit * 1.100 speaketh expresly, that in the lat∣ter times some shall depart from the Faith; giving heed to Do∣ctrines of Devils, speaking Lies

in Hypocrisy, forbidding to Marry, and commanding to ab∣stain from Meats, which God hath created to be received with Thanksgiving of them which be∣lieve. Now let every one be ask'd, if the Pope hath not forbidden certain Meats, at certain times: and they must all confess he hath, for most Folks have felt it; or per∣chance, I should not be a Lyar if I said, that almost all Folks have.

And concerning the Pro∣hibition of Marriage, ask their own Priests. St. Peter tells us, that there shall come * 1.101 in the last days Scoffers, &c. St. John in the Apocalypse

says, Seven Angels poured out * 1.102 the Vials of God's Wrath upon the Earth; and the signi∣fication is probable to be thus.

The first Vial to be the Assyrian Monarchy; when the People of Israel became Captive to Nebuchadnezzar. The second the Persian Mo∣narchy. The third Vial the Monarchy of the Grecians, which Alexander first estab∣lished. The fourth was the Roman Monarchy, which the Apocalypse (because of its Grandure) says, the fourth Vial was poured up∣on the Sun. The fifth is our Anti-Christ the Pope. The

sixth Vial is the Dominion of Mahomet. The seventh Vial signifies the end of the World, and the Day of Judgment.

In the following Chapter he declares, that one of the seven Angels came and talk∣ed with him, and shewed him the State, Honour and Riches of the Pope: For he says, he saw, A Woman sit * 1.103 upon the Beast, full of Names of Blasphemy, having seven Heads, and ten Horns; and the Woman was arayed in Pur∣ple, and Scarlet Colour, and deck∣ed with Gold; having a golden Cup in her Hand, full of Abo∣minations, and filthiness of her

Fornications: and upon her fore∣head was written, Babylon the Mother of Harlots, and Abomi∣nations of the Earth. The se∣ven Heads signify the seven * 1.104 Hills which Anti-Christ dwells on: For Rome is built upon seven Moun∣tains. The seven Horns are the number of the Kings, who made War with the Lamb, and the Lamb over∣came them, for he is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings; then another Angel came down from Heaven, Crying, Babylon is fallen, and * 1.105 is become the Habitation of De∣vils; thence I hope, that the Kingdom of Anti-Christ

shall be destroyed: For tho the wicked may prosper for a time, their Dominion shall not last; but those who study the Law of the Lord, their Prosperity shall last for ever. St. Paul, wri∣ting to Timothy, says, This * 1.106 know also, that in the last days, Men shall be lovers of their own * 1.107 selves, Covetous, Boasters, Proud, Blasphemers, &c. And the Prophet Isaiah saith, that Christ shall smite the * 1.108 Earth, with the Rod of his Mouth, and with the Breath of his Lips shall he slay the wick∣ed.

Since we see then that the reign of Anti-Christ shall not last for ever, we must wait for the Destruction of Babylon, and submit our selves to the Will of the Lord.

The Conclusion.

IN the first Part of our Book, We have proved and declared that Peter was not Primate of the Church, by confuting all the Papisti∣cal Reasons for it.

In the second, We have proved that they cannot produce and alledge any

true Testimony, that St. Pe∣ter was at Rome.

In the third Part, we have proved from themselves, that they have said they ought not to have the Pri∣macy.

In the fourth Part, We have explained the Prophe∣sies speaking of Anti-Christ. Since then the Pope is that wicked one, very Son of the Devil, an Anti-Christ, and an abominable Tyrant; let us pray unto the Lord to pre∣serve those still in the Light who have seen it: and that he will shew the sincere, pure, and true Light unto those who sit in Darkness:

that all the World may glo∣rify God in this Life, and be Partakers of the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven in the World to come, by the Me∣rits of Jesus Christ our Savi∣our; to whom with the Fa∣ther, and the Holy Ghost, be all Honour, Glory, Do∣minion and Praise, for ever and ever. Amen.
