SECT IV. Doctor Morton contradicteth himselfe.

TO shew your splene yet more against Gregory the sea∣uenth, of whom, beside what hath bene said, Martinus

Page 495

Polonus writeth(f), that by his prayers he wrought great mira∣cles, and Lambertus Schafnaburgensis(g), that he was en∣dowed with the gift of prophesy, you say(h): It is confessed, that no Pope in all the succession of S. Peter, did depose any Emperor before Gregory the seauenth, that is, vntill a thousand and sixty yeares after Christ. You bring for your author Otho Frisingensis, who (though otherwise a learned and pious Bishop, yet) being grand-child to Henry the Fourth, whom Gregory depo∣sed, writeth partially in his fauor, and contradicteth him∣selfe: for he confesseth(i), that Zacharias Pope, who liued 300. yeares before Gregory the seauenth, deposed Chil∣dericus King of France. And the same, you likewise con∣tradicting your selfe acknowledge(k), producing the same example of Zacharias, which Otho doth. Nor could you be ignorant of others more ancient alleaged by Bellarmine in that place(l), from whence you toke this of Gregory the seauenth: but you mention not them, that you may haue the better colour to inueigh against him.
