SECT. XXIII.

HEnce he saith Discuss. page 2. Quare * 1.1 non est Culpandus Duarenus, qui ita Catholicae pacis amantem se ostendit, &c. which Duarenus was a moderate Papist, of whom he saith in the antecedent lines, [ita Romanae sedis fuit communione, ut acerri∣mè obstiterit iis quae nonnulli sive Romae, si∣ve Genevae, contra Regum aut Episcoporum jura moliuntur. And p. 18. he saith Talem pacem quae Papae Omnipotentiam tribuat, & in Ecclesiae & imperii rebus, sicut Casau∣bonus

Page 38

non probavit, ita nec probat Grotius, nec qui in Gallia & alibi sunt sapientes Ca∣tholici, qui & falli posse Papas putant, & Authoritatem eorum certis finibus contineri: sicut in Florentia Synodo decretum est, Pa∣pam esse Principem Sacerdotum, & Guber∣natorem Ecclesiae secundum Canones Conci∣liorum universalium, & salvis juribus Pa∣triarcharum Orientis] Here you see 1. That he is of the French Religion, who no doubt are Papists. 2. That he is for the Popes Uni∣versal Principality, yea and Government of the Church, though he will have him Go∣vern according to the Canons & not arbitra∣rily, & notincroach on the rights of the infe∣riour Patriarks. 3. That he is for the Power given him in the Council of Florence, which is commonly supposed to set up the Pope above a General Council; Though its like in that Grotius might dissent; yet I think he doubted not but that Council was Papal, for all the compliance of the Greeks there at that season. And 4. Whereas he exclu∣deth the Popes Omnipotency in Civil and Ecclesiastick matters, so do, as he saith, the French and thousands of Papists as well as he, that yet are still Papists.
