The Unbishoping of Timothy and Titus, Quotations – Errata

PAſtores fidos omnes nos Dounamus aequat
Praeſulibus, laudi dum labor urget opus.
Idem mox ſeptem ſtellarum arcana revelans,
Angelico hos unos tollit in aſtra gradu.
Nos animas viles quibus una eſt perdia, pernox
Cura gregis, vulgi in faece relinquit humi.
Chriſte ducum Lecti pecoris cordate Magiſter,
Coge gregem, numerum non habet ille ſuum.
Si ſtella eſt ſacri gregis Angelus, Angelus, Anglus
Preſul, et hic gemino ſplendet in imperio;
Quaerere nunc reſtat quae ſtella ſit Angelus, Anglus
Praeſul, ut is gemino ſplendet in imperio?
An quae ſtella haerens caelo ſcintillat ab alto?
Subtus an orbe alio qui vagus erro meat?
Portentum an terris metuendus crine cometes?
Stella an ab axe in humum tracta Draconis ope?
Et quam in ter ternotenet Angelus, ordine ſedem,
Aetheris? aut Terrae? aut Aequoris? haud Erebi.
Nam regnandi illi haud veniat tam dira cupido,
Vt Papa Cerbereum tollas in aſtra caput.
Praeſul Regalis.
Praeſule Papano quod nos damnamus in omni,
Quodque in Romano Pontifice eſt vitium,
Praeſule Regali, quid non damnamus in omni?
Quae virtus noſtri eſt maxima Pontificis?
Curia pro Cura gregis, aut Iucuria: Cura
Cui non ulla gregis, Curio an egregius?
Aureus antiquo florebat Epiſcopus aevo,
Tum cum ſacrae eſſent lignea vaſa domus;
Ligneus hoc noſtro frondeſcit Epiſcopus aevo,
Cum ſacram exornant aurea vaſa domum
Porticibus Regem Antiſtes cur excipit amplis
Fruge menſa fuit, dum caſa parva fuit.
Subſtruit inſanas cur celſa ad Sydera moles,
Moribus it praeceps Tartara ad ima rudens,
A plebe et Clero fiebat Aepiſcopus olim.
Illum nunc Mammon, Regia et Aula facit.
Hoſpitio in parvo olim haerebat Epiſcopus aedi:
Arcem excelſam habitat nunc procul aede ſacra.
In commune olim cum Clero cuncta gerebat.
Nunc ſine Praesbyteris omnia ſolus agit.
Canonicae quondam Scripturae interpres agebat.
Nunc pro jure ſacro regia juſſa docet.
Fratrum jure patri contentus Epiſcopus olim.
Nunc Regnum in fratros imperioſus obit.
Tum tenui ſtipem vitam ultro tolerabat egenam:
Nunc beat illum amplis copia divitijs:
Nunc opibus dives, pictai veſtis et auri.
Olim divitiae in moribus atque animo.
In grege paſcendo totus ſudaverat olim;
Nunc mundi incumbet rebus et imperio.
Olim Acalutho ibat, ſeu Tros comitatus Achatem;
Nunc ſeptus magno Papa ſatellitio.
Tunc capite obſtipo, et ſpectanti lumine terram:
Nunc ſtupet elatis aſtra ſupercilijs.
Tunc vulgaris ei corpus velabat amictus:
Nunc picturatae ſyrmata laxa togae.
Et tunicae manicas, et habent ridimicula mitrae,
Carbaſeoſque levis ventilat aura ſinus.
Pileus in quadrum tereti de vertice ſurgit,
Et bis cocta humilem purpura verrit humum.
Ni caudam ſuſpenſam ulnis gerat unus et alter
Vulpinam. O gerulis ſarcina quanta tribus!
I ſiodor Pel…ſiota Epiſt. l. 3. Epiſt. 223.
Illud fortaſſe ignorare videmini, lenitatis ac manſuetudinis dignitatem, in tyrannidem tranſijſſe. Olim enim ſalutis ovium cauſa mortem oppetiebant; nunc autem Paſtores mortem ovibus inferunt, non corpora jugulantes, (levius enim hoc inalum eſſet) verum animis offenſionem afferentes. Tum jejunijs corpus caſtigabant, nunc autem ut luxu et delicijs ex…ltent, efficiunt. Tum bona ſua egentibus deſtribuebant, nunc autem pauperum bona in rem ſuam vertunt. Tum virtutem colebant, nunc virtutis cultores proſcribunt et eliminant.
Ne Savi Magna Sacerdos.
