POPERY CONDEMNED BY<br />

pressions which have been used to illustrate this<br />

doctrine. He niust be a very ignorant priest indeed,<br />

uho does not know, that <strong>the</strong> phrase used<br />

<strong>by</strong> <strong>the</strong> Church is not " non est fides habenda<br />

" hereticis/' but " -non est fides serv<strong>and</strong>a here-<br />

*'<br />

ticis ;"<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> latter would be translated <strong>by</strong><br />

a boy at <strong>the</strong> grammar-school, in <strong>the</strong> usual way.<br />

Of <strong>the</strong> real existence of this doctrine in <strong>the</strong><br />

Church, <strong>and</strong> likewise of <strong>the</strong> mode of expression,<br />

<strong>the</strong> following authorities may convince him.<br />

" Fides hereticis data serv<strong>and</strong>a non est : Faith<br />

**<br />

given to heretics is not to be kept *."<br />

''<br />

Si tyrannis piratis et ceteris praedonibus,<br />

*'<br />

fides serv<strong>and</strong>a non est, qui corpus occidunt,<br />

" longe minus hereticis pertinacibus qui occidunt<br />

" animas.— If faith ought not to be kept with<br />

*'<br />

tyrants, pirates, <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r plunderers who<br />

" kill <strong>the</strong> body, far less with obstinate heretics<br />

*'<br />

who destroy souls f.'*<br />

" Hereticis datam fidem serv<strong>and</strong>am non esse<br />

" intelligo, cum data fides est ad detrinientum<br />

" fidei catholicas.— Faith given to heretics ought<br />

*'<br />

not to be kept, that is, faith given to <strong>the</strong> de-<br />

" triment of <strong>the</strong> catholic faith J."<br />

P^enochius, a Roman Canonist, also asserts^<br />

" That <strong>the</strong> safe-conduct granted <strong>by</strong> princes in<br />

" cases of heresv is unlawful, because <strong>the</strong> infe-<br />

" rior'* (as he supposes all princes to be to <strong>the</strong><br />

Pope)<br />
