Emperour, who was accounted,one of the PopeJ befi So1me1; yet proceeded,in matter temporall,. towards rope c lement, with frra nge Rigour; Never regarding the r ontificality, but kept him Prifoner 18.

But now to ~orne to the particular charge , of this Man: I tnufl enfonn your Lordjhipr the Occajon , a~1d Nat ure, of this ojfettcc. There hath been publifhed, lately, to the fVorld,a Work ofsu..~rez.~ a Portugeft; A Profeffor in the Vniverjity of Coimbra; A Confi deg t, and daring Writer ; fuch an one, as 71dly defcribes in derifion ; Nihil tam veretu,q~tam ne dubitare,aliqua de re,videretur: one thatfear eJ nothing, but this, leafl he foeuld feem to doubt of any thing. A Fe Ilow: that thinks, with his Magifi rallity, and Goofe-quil1, to givt , L~wes,and Mannages, to Crownt and S~epters. In tbis .JVJavs writing thts Dof1rine of Depojing , and Murthering, lOngs, fetms-to come to a higher Elevation, then heretofore; And it i,s more :rtted,and pofitived, then in othtrs. For in the patfages, which your Lordfbips iliaU hear read anon, I find three .A./JertiotJs) which run, not in the vulgar Track, But are fuch, as wherewith M~ns Eares (as 1 fu ppofe) are not much acquainted.
