nication. The bull recently issued
against Victor Emanuel and ex.
tcnsively published in the news
papers of this country, has been
called in question and it's anthem
ITCHY doubted. Plus TX it is said
is not the author of it, but Lawrence
Steruc, the author Of Tristram Shan
dy, and other tales. The writer to
the Civilian, says:
"Oatha Of accommodation have been
of various forms In the Romish Church.
aud have been in uso ever since the rise Of
Antichrist. The substance Of the one
which Is pronounced, "bogvs" and sur
ge,g," having often been altered, IL still
one Of the oldest on record, and has been
used oftenor than any other. IL was In
uHe, as We shall prove, hundreds Of years
before Lawrence Sterne wns born. SO that
whether II 10, or IL not, In his work IL q
matter Of no consequence.
Sterno was born about the year 1Tl4. and
no wrote hiz famous 7risfram Mandy"
about tho year 1850.
Now let ua see how much earlier We can
trace the substance of that oath Of oxcom-
muDication.
We shall quote principally from Romish
writers and those OF the highest authority.
Labbeus, Of Bourgos, who was Of tho
monastic family aud bound by all the ri
Gid rulea Of the order, died at the age Of
so, In 1867 and. says Mosheim, T" was a
man Of great learning, particularly in
Church history" (see vol. 3. p. Ss2.)
This Labbeus wrote the history Of the
Romish Councils in many large Volumes.
In that work, vol. 10, p. 1904 ; and vol.
II, p. 1865 and r. 728; and 2. 1919, may
| DO found tho substance Of this oath -
adopted by tho Council Of the Romish
| Church and which IL nat hs odM girn BY
Bishop England. OF this oath no gives .
| full account, with the alterations and
lamentations. Now this Philipus Laobeus
wrote his history Of tho Councils, and died
nearly hundred years before Lawrence
Sterne was born.
| With tho testimony OF Labbeus we
might rest this matter, but We have one
more witness Of even greater weight, and
whose testimony 10 Of still greater impor-
| lance.
| CARDINAL BAHosrus. Cesar Baronius,
born ut Sora in Naples Second
general Of the Italian order and Father oil
the Oratory, Confessor OF Popo Clemen,
| vIII--Cardinal and Librarian Of the vati-
CANVAS candidate for the papal chair In
1905, and died 1907. No higher authority
for any factin Romish Church History can
be adduced than Baronius. (See Morheim
vol. Ill, p. 355. Also Pictet, vol. III, p
262.)
Now this Baronius has given . full &C.
count Of the difficulty between the haugh-
ty Pontif, Paul, V. and the Republic OF
! Venice. This tyrant Paul. Win the yeal
1906, issued" antiquated form" OF this &c
called bogus oath" against the Vcne-
tians. OF all which Baronius gives full
account and Tho form Of the oath NJ ther
used. lie commences In these words
Dupier est, Beaie Pafsr, nsisisterium Pc
III, pascere, Il occidsre, ETC." Blessed Father
the minietry Of Peter Is Of two-fold, I,
feed and TO Stay, &c" and he conclude
after giving the " Anticipated form OF thu
oath, with the words 7" Hactemus isrdnen
turi, sfc.'
This all happened one hundred and sew
en- years before Stefne was born.
With one more scrap Of history In whicl
a still earlier form Of this oath does IL
fearful work and we have done.
Pope Innocent! having, in 1908, lai,
the dominions Of John, King Of England
under interdict, did in the year 1911, b.
Pandulph, his legate, publish the sentenc
of accommodation against him, and I
show, that the pretended oath rs given b
Bishop En- gland, is not correct in tn
oath against John, 4" sll his subjects wer
absolved from their oath of allegiance, h
was degragged from his roy al dignity, an
, 1t was declared that neither he nor any Q
his posterity should ever reign in Eng
Z land" (See Annual, Monast, Burter npu
Regum, Anglican, Script; tom. l. ps. 10
1861
If any would learn the terrific conse
! quences Of these oaths Of Introduction, an
D accommodation, we would refer them
J, Hume, Hist. Eng. p. 10, TO the so1tene
Q beginning. "Tho execution, &c. An
I If any would read Of the ignoble term
upon which King John obtained absolr

= Thus then we find an early form Of tn
: oath used with terrible effect fire hvndr
