Here is both Rebellion and Iudaism in high degree: that all Christians may and ought to kill all, Strangers, their Husbands, Wives, Fathers, Children, their King and all his issue, when these are Idolaters, or which is the same, Papists. And why not as well Adulterers, who by the same Iudaic Law were likewise to be put to death? Here is the Statute de Haereticis comburendis revived. Luke 9. 55. Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 1 Cor. 7. 12. If any Brother hath a Wife that Believeth not, let him not put her away: Especially then may he not kill her, because she is an Unbeliever, an Heathen, an Idolater.

Iust so says the Papist Suarez, Adv. Sect. Ang. 1. 6. c. 6. §. 24. Paulus his verbis, Omnis anima, &c. Rom. 13. nunquam addidit, etiam Potestatibus Excommunicatis vel deprivatis à Papa omnes subditi sint: When St. Paul said, Let every soul be subject to the higher powers; he did not add, let all be subject to Powers whom the Pope hath Excommunicated or Deprived. And so Pope Nicolas 1. expounds 1 Pet. 2. 13. perverting the words: Regi quasi praecellenti ( virtutibus scilicet, non vitiis ) subditi estote: Be subject to the King, as excelling, to wit, in vertues, not in vices: I Epist. 4. Append. p. 624. insinuating, that only to a vertuous King we are to be subject.
Just so Says the Papist Suarez, Advantage Sect. Ang. 1. 6. c. 6. §. 24. Paulus his verbis, Omnis anima, etc. Rom. 13. Never addidit, etiam Potestatibus Excommunicatis vel deprivatis à Papa omnes Subditi sint: When Saint Paul said, Let every soul be Subject to the higher Powers; he did not add, let all be Subject to Powers whom the Pope hath Excommunicated or Deprived.

This is just Bellarmine's doctrine, De Rom. Pontif. 1. 5. c. 7. Quod Christiani olim non deposuerunt Neronem, &c. id fuit quia deerant vires temporales Christianis, nam alioqui jure potuerant id facere: The reason why Christians did not depose Nero, Dioclesian, Iulian, was because they wanted temporal power, for they might lawfully have done it. And Bannes, another Popish Doctor, says, Excusandos esse Anglicanos Fideles, &c. The English Catholicks are to be excused for not waging war against their Rulers, and freeing themselves from their power: because they have not strenght enough, and it would be dangerous to them: In 2. 2. Thom. 9, 12. art. 2.

The like, but somewhat better, says Bellarmine, De Rom. Pont. 1. 5. c. 6. Papa potest mutare Regna, & uni auferre, atque alteri conferre, si id necessarium sit ad animarum salutem: The Pope may take the Kingdom from one, and give it to another, if that be necessary to the salvation of souls.

This is pure Iesuitical Popery: the Iesuites and Iesuitical Popes teaching, that Subjects are not bound to keep those Oaths of Allegiance and Obedience which they made to their King whilst he was a Catholick when he turns Heretick.

Much like this says the Pope, Non permitto tibi (inquit Papa) ut Regi non pareas (quod esset contra ius divinum:) sed facio ut ille qui tibi Rex erat, non sit tibi deinceps Rex: I permit thee not, says the Pope, that thou obey not the King (which would be contrary to the divine Command:) but I make him that was thy King, to be no King to thee: Bellarm. in Barcl. c. 3.

Mr. Baxter, when at his Ordination he took the Oath of Supremacy ( which is Law) thus swore, I do declare in my Conscience, that the King's Highness is the See also Artic. of ou Church, 37 And Can. & 36 & 55 Only supreme Governour of this Realm and of all other his Dominions, as well in all Spiritual or Ecclesiastical things or Causes as Temporal: — And do promise from henceforth I shall bear true Allegiance to the King's Highness, his Heirs and Lawfull Successors, and to my power shall assist and defend all Iurisdictions, privileges, praeeminences and authorities granted or belonging to the King's Highness, his Heirs and Successors, or united and annexed to the Imperial Crown of this Realm. Whether Mr. Baxter hath been true to his Oath, let his words and deeds testifie. In this Oath, (Popish Pri••ciples, p. 4• … says our present Bishop of Lincoln) We swear that the King is the Only Supreme Governour: Supreme, and so none above him: and Only Supreme, and so none co-ordinate or equal to him. So that by our known Laws our King is Solo Deo minor, invested with such a Supremacy as excludes both Pope and People and all the World, God Almighty only excepted, from having any power, jurisdiction or authority over him. [ See his Proofs from the Laws p. 5. to 8. ] I add, Stat. 13 Car. 2. c. 1. It is enacted, that if any person shall maliciously and advisedly affirm, that both or either Houses of Parliament have a Legislative power without the King, he shall incur the penalty of a Fremunire mentioned in the Stat. of 16 Rich. 2. And it is also there declared, that all Ordinances of both or either Houses of Parliament for imposing of Oaths, Covenants or Engagements, Levying of Taxes, or Raising of Forces and Arms, to which the Royal Assent either in Person or by Commission was not expresly had or given, were in the very first creation and making, and still are, and so shall be taken to be null and void to all intents and purposes whatsoever. And Stat. 13. Car. 2. c. 6. & Stat. 14. c. 3. it is declared, that within all his Majestie's Realms and Dominions the sole Supreme Government, Command and Disposition of the Militia, and of all Forees by Sea and Land, and of all Forts and Places of strength is and ever was the undoubted Right of his Majesty, and his Royal Predecessors, Kings and Queens of England, and that both or either Houses of Parliament cannot nor ought to pretend to the same, nor can nor lawfully may raise or levy any War, Offensive or Defensive, against his Majesty, his Heirs or lawfull Successors. And Stat. 13. Car. 2. c. 1. & Stat. 14. c. 4. it is declared, that it is not lawfull upon Any pretence whatsoever to take Arms against the King: and that the position of taking Arms by His Authority against His Person, or against those that are Commissionated by Him, is Trayterous. And long before, 25. Edw. 3. Stat. 5. c. 2. it is declared High Treason to levy War against the King, or to adhere to his enemies within the Realm, giving them aid or comfort.
