Among the works condemned in the first of these supplements, is the treatise written by King James I of England in defence of his oath of fidelity or coronation oath. This _Apology_ of the King did not find favour in Rome, and it was condemned by two successive decrees of the master of the sacred palace in July and in September of 1609, the year of its publication. The title of the condemned work begins: _Apologia pro juramento fidelitatis ... vero ab ipso auctore serenissimo et potentissimo Principe Jacobo_, etc. The book did not find place in the Spanish Index of 1612, but secured attention, as specified, on the part of the censors of Portugal. The title appears again among the works prohibited in the Spanish Index of 1632, under the title of _Jacobus Rex_ in the first class, and also in the second class under the title of _Jacobus Angliae_. In the same year, the title finds place in a Roman Index, where it is catalogued under the letter _A_. The condemnation is repeated on the Index of 1664 and in those following. In an examination held by the Parliamentary Committee on the State of Ireland in April, 1825, one of the Catholic witnesses, the Reverend M. O’Sullivan, deduces from these condemnations the conclusion that the old-time papal doctrine of the fight of deposing Kings had not been revoked.[172] In 1609, was included in the lists of books prohibited an Italian edition of the _Confession_ of Theodore Beza. The book had been printed in 1559 in the original French, _Confession de la Foire Chrétienne_, and the Italian version had appeared in 1566. Nearly half a century was required before the pernicious character of the work had become clear to the authorities of the Roman Inquisition. _4._ _Continuations of Roman Indexes, 1624–1655._ The Index of Clement VIII was reprinted from time to time with the original decrees and with supplementary lists. Such reprints were issued in Rome in 1624, 1630, and 1640. In 1618, was printed in Bologna, under the title of _Syllabus seu collectis librorum prohibitorum_, a list of the books prohibited since 1596. In 1619, Franciscus Magdalenus, Secretary of the Congregation, printed in Rome, under the title, _Edictum librorum qui post Indicem Clementis VIII prohibiti sunt_, a reissue of the Bologna _Syllabus_. In 1624, these lists were reissued in Milan, under the title of _Raccolta de libri prohibiti_.
