the

CHAP.
I.
Of
Sacred
Signes
.
IN
the
time
preordained
of
GOD
by
his
inscrutable
and
incomprehensible
Wisedome
,
(
when
hee
had
created
man
to
his
true
Image
and
likenesse
,
the
better
to
moue
and
incite
him
to
feare
and
obedience
,
as
also
to
make
him
partaker
of
his
blessings
,
he
gaue
him
some
exercise
of
vertue
whereby
hee
might
acknowledge
him
his
Almighty
GOD
,
and
omnipotent
Creatour
)
were
ordained
many
Signes
,
Sacrifices
,
and
Sacraments
:
First
,
to
our
first
Father
Adam
,
to
whom
with
his
Successors
,
corporall
men
,
God
allotted
corporall
signes
,
to
approue
the
better
of
their
obedience
,
to
wit
,
trees
planted
in
the
middest
of
the
Orchard
,
and
earthly
Paradise
,
which
although
they
were
not
of
any
other
qualitie
then
the
other
plants
:
yet
notwithstanding
being
dedicated
and
consecrated
of
God
for
Sacraments
,
or
Sacred
Signes
,
their
qualitie
was
then
for
to
serue
as
Seales
for
the
Testimonie
and
approbation
of
his
diuine
wil
and
pleasure
,
which
was
effected
by
the
infinite
goodnesse
and
bounty
of
God
,
to
make
appeare
and
knowne
,
that
the
Association
,
Confederation
and
alliance
contracted
with
man
his
Creature
,
was
ordained
from
time
to
time
,
yea
,
from
the
beginning
of
all
times
:
Thus
,
I
say
,
were
exteriour
and
Corporall
Signes
,
which
man
could
see
and
contemplate
with
his
Corporall
Eyes
,
constituted
to
serue
for
an
assurance
,
pledge
,
and
hostage
of
the
Diuine
Couenant
.
These
Trees
and
substantiall
Fruits
ordained
for
our
first
and
common
Father
,
were
committed
and
giuen
vnto
him
to
keepe
,
without
diminishing
,
eating
,
or
wasting
of
them
,
vpon
paine
of
eternal
death
.
Wherefore
wee
must
in
faith
beleeue
,
that
they
were
not
vaine
Signes
and
Sacraments
,
or
as
a
meere
and
simple
Picture
,
but
whereas
life
or
death
depended
on
them
:
they
comprehended
both
the
signes
and
thing
signified
;
wherein
consisted
the
knowledge
and
wisedom
to
feare
God
,
For
other
exercises
required
of
man
towards
God
,
Iesus
Christ
,
slaine
and
offered
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
After
the
rigor
&
iustice
of
the
deluge
was
appeased
,
After
this
,
Then
followed
to
his
posterity
afterward
,
called
The
people
of
Israel
,
the
sacrifice
of
the
immaculate
Lambe
,
which
was
ordain'd
by
the
shedding
of
bloud
,
to
preserue
them
from
the
appointed
slaughter
in
Egypt
:
Other
sacred
signes
were
sent
by
God
to
his
Elect
people
,
to
winne
them
continually
to
his
feare
and
obedience
:
Then
followed
the
signe
of
the
diuision
of
the
Arabicke
Red
Sea
,
Now
during
the
time
that
this
elect
people
of
God
were
detained
in
the
Arabian
Desarts
,
Another
wonderfull
signe
there
was
ordained
by
God
,
This
was
a
signe
and
figure
of
the
true
Rocke
Iesus
Christ
,
out
of
whom
came
bloud
&
water
,
to
quench
perpetually
the
thirst
of
sinners
,
and
refresh
our
soules
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
Sacrifices
.
BEsides
these
signes
and
Sacraments
aboue-mentioned
,
Of
Sacrifices
againe
,
some
were
publike
,
and
others
priuate
or
particular
:
those
publike
were
either
quotidian
or
euery
seuenth
day
,
either
at
New
Moones
,
or
in
times
of
Fasting
:
but
they
were
chiefely
celebrated
at
three
festiuall
times
of
the
yeere
;
which
were
:
First
,
Secondly
,
the
time
of
Haruest
,
and
first
Fruits
.
And
thirdly
,
at
the
Feast
of
Vines
,
and
Oliues
,
towards
the
end
of
the
yeere
.
Some
of
the
Sacrifices
also
were
ordain'd
,
In
the
sacrifice
for
Health
,
There
was
another
difference
betweene
the
Sacrifice
for
Health
,
and
that
celebrated
for
sinne
:
for
in
the
one
,
they
were
inioyn'd
to
eate
vp
all
the
oblation
in
two
dayes
;
and
in
the
other
for
sinne
,
the
Priest
was
commanded
to
eate
it
vp
in
one
day
:
and
by
this
meanes
some
Sacrifices
were
termed
Holocausts
:
some
were
ordained
for
health
,
other
some
for
sinnes
.
Sacrifices
for
sinne
were
diuers
,
For
he
that
offended
out
of
ignorance
,
The
High
Priests
sinne
was
expiated
by
the
sacrifice
of
an
immolated
Calfe
:
The
Sacrifice
for
expiation
of
offences
towards
God
,
The
Sacrifice
of
a
man
polluted
,
For
the
clensing
of
the
Leprous
were
appointed
two
liuing
Fowles
,
Another
Sacrifice
was
celebrated
,
If
the
great
Oblations
failed
,
they
had
recourse
to
Doues
,
Pigeons
,
or
Turtles
,
or
for
Holocausts
:
others
,
maintenance
.
In
all
Sacrifices
there
was
pure
Flowre
,
Notwithstanding
in
the
Sacrifice
constituted
for
the
Purification
of
a
woman
suspected
of
Adulterie
,
There
was
also
another
Sacrifice
,
I
was
willing
particularly
to
discourse
of
the
diuersitie
of
sacrifices
,
that
hereby
I
might
make
knowne
the
great
goodnesse
,
and
bounty
of
our
God
:
who
in
the
Law
of
sacrifices
,
publisht
by
Moses
,
meant
to
curbe
and
reyne
in
the
rude
people
of
Israel
,
as
it
were
with
a
Bridle
,
who
could
not
forget
the
Aegyptian
Idolatries
,
wherein
they
had
beene
nourished
and
bred
,
for
foure
hundred
and
thirty
yeeres
,
vnder
the
tyranny
of
the
Pharaohs
.
But
what
rigorous
Lawes
soeuer
enacted
:
There
was
another
signe
and
Sacrament
instituted
of
God
,
Another
sacred
signe
there
was
,
The
Fire
;
for
the
burnt-offering
was
ordained
to
be
of
Cedar-wood
,
Hysop
,
and
of
Purple-Crymosine
.
Polluted
men
were
sprinkled
ouer
with
this
Water
,
At
the
entry
of
the
Tabernacle
,
or
Temple
,
there
was
a
kinde
of
Lauer
like
a
Font
of
Brasse
,
forged
at
first
of
seeing
Glasses
,
of
the
Israelitish
Women
.
In
this
Lauer
or
Holy-water
Font
,
was
put
this
Water
of
Purification
,
where
with
the
Priests
besprinkled
themselues
,
before
they
celebrated
their
sacrifices
,
to
the
end
they
might
be
purified
,
and
obtaine
grace
and
remission
of
sinnes
.
After
the
death
of
the
High
Priest
Aaron
,
the
Israelitish
people
,
ingratefull
towards
God
,
for
the
benefit
he
sent
them
,
murmuring
when
they
were
wearie
of
the
heauenly
Manna
,
This
in
briefe
is
the
greatest
part
of
the
Signes
,
Sacrifices
,
and
Sacraments
,
instituted
by
God
,
in
the
first
Church
of
the
Israelites
,
being
figures
of
the
true
and
perfect
sacrifice
,
accomplished
and
immolated
by
Iesus
Christ
,
the
true
Messias
,
the
Eternall
Priest
,
who
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
his
Father
.
CHAP.
III.
Of
Corruptions
.
NOW
wee
must
succinctly
produce
how
Man
by
his
owne
fault
falling
into
obliuion
and
disobedience
against
GOD
his
Creator
,
This
holy
signe
which
our
first
Parents
so
alienated
and
abused
,
was
the
originall
of
other
Vices
and
corruptions
hereafter
described
,
wherein
two
men
are
falne
,
Aaron
.
Exod.

hauing
a
rellish
of
the
corrupt
masse
in
Adam
.
Omitting
the
particular
corruptions
of
signes
,
sacrifices
,
and
Sacraments
,
before
the
Law
written
by
Moses
,
we
will
begin
in
setting
downe
briefely
,
the
most
notable
errors
committed
by
the
greatest
Sacrificers
,
Kings
and
Priests
,
with
others
,
that
had
the
gouernment
and
charge
of
the
people
.
When
Moses
remained
in
Mount
Sinai
,
to
receiue
the
Commandements
from
God
,
his
brother
Aaron
the
High
Priest
caused
a
golden
Calfe
to
be
framed
,
of
the
earings
deliuered
vnto
him
by
the
people
of
Israel
,
hee
built
an
Altar
,
offered
Incense
,
and
celebrated
Sacrifice
,
causing
the
common
people
to
adore
this
Image
.
Was
not
this
an
abusing
of
the
sacrifices
ordained
by
God
,
and
a
corrupting
of
their
true
vse
,
procuring
the
same
to
be
ador'd
,
which
before
was
it selfe
offered
,
and
immolated
,
according
as
the
custome
was
?
His
sonnes
also
,
Abihu
.
Leuit.
10.
Numb
.
11.
Nadab
,
and
Abihu
,
were
they
not
consum'd
with
fire
,
because
they
adulterated
the
true
vse
of
sacrifices
,
and
tooke
vnconsecrated
wood
,
by
corrupting
the
instituted
Law
?
The
people
of
Israel
ingratefull
for
the
benefit
receiued
,
in
being
deliuered
from
Pharaohs
captiuitie
;
did
they
not
murmure
against
the
holy
Sacrament
of
celestiall
Manna
,
when
they
contemned
and
despised
this
Bread
of
Life
,
crying
out
for
flesh
to
eate
?
Achan
the
sonne
of
Charmes
,
did
not
hee
violate
the
Law
of
sacred
signes
,
when
hee
committed
sacriledge
,
by
detaining
the
spoiles
of
Iericho
,
which
were
vowed
and
consecrated
for
sacrifices
to
God
?
If
any
man
more
curious
,
desires
to
see
the
abuses
and
corruptions
continued
by
the
same
people
,
let
him
reade
the
Histories
of
the
Iudges
of
Israel
,
and
he
shall
perceiue
,
Iephta
Iudge
,
and
Conductor
of
the
Israelites
,
did
not
he
corrupt
the
Law
of
Sacrifices
,
when
he
offered
vp
his
owne
daughter
,
excusing
himselfe
by
a
Vow
he
made
,
which
was
not
so
enioyned
him
by
God
?

signe

17.
and
Sacrificer
,
in
celebrating
of
Sacrifice
,
called
the
Ephod
,
seruing
for
an
externall
ornament
,
was
it
not
abused
by
Gideon
,
Captaine
of
Israel
,
when
of
the
spoiles
of
the
Madianites
,
and
their
earerings
,
hee
forged
an
Ephod
of
gold
;
by
meanes
whereof
,
the
people
fell
to
great
Idolatrie
?
How
long
was
this
externall
signe
of
the
Ephod
abused
,
Were
not
these
wonderfull
abuses
,
and
detestable
corruptious
practised
by
the
sacrificers
and
High
Priests
,
vnder
the
pretext
and
colour
of
sacrifice
?
What
groffer
corruption
can
be
mentioned
,
then
that
of
the
children
of
Eli
the
High
Priest
,
This
sacred
signe
was
so
precious
and
estimable
,
This
example
may
make
them
tremble
,
that
presume
to
profane
the
fignes
and
Sacraments
instituted
by
God
,
Saul
the
first
elected
King
of
the
Israelites
,
Ieroboam
King
of
the
Israelites
,
did
not
onely
erect
a
golden
Calfe
,
This
Idolatrie
and
corruption
of
Sacrifices
was
continued
by
the
Israelites
for
more
then
foure
hundred
yeeres
,
Achab
another
King
of
the
Israelites
erected
an
Altar
,
Iosephus
,
Myos
;
and
by
the
Grecians
Priapus
,
to
which
god
hee
offered
sacrifice
.
And
to
bee
short
,
what
more
abominable
corruption
can
bee
imagined
,
then
the
inuention
of
Purgatory
fire
,
This
corruption
of
sacrifice
,
In
the
booke
Alcoran
.
though
it
had
been
practised
since
Moses
time
,
notwithstanding
the
idole
of
Moloch
,
Who
incited
you
,
O
Israelites
,
to
erect
Images
to
the
god
Moloch
,
and
to
the
starre
of
Romphan
,
during
the
time
you
were
in
the
desarts
,
where
I
fed
you
with
my
heauenly
Manna
?
Our
good
God
herein
clearely
expresseth
what
he
would
haue
vs
to
follow
;
And
then
further
,
to
heape
vp
all
corruptions
,
they
offered
sacrifice
with
the
bloud
of
Innocents
,
offering
,
and
causing
them
to
passe
thorow
the
Purgatory
fire
,
in
the
valley
of
Tophet
.
For
the
abuses
also
committed
in
the
holy
Sacrifices
,
sacred
signes
,
and
Oblations
constituted
for
God
,
it
was
said
to
the
people
of
Israel
by
the
Prophets
,
that
God
would
haue
no
more
of
their
Feasts
,
of
their
New
Moones
,
nor
of
their
celebrated
sacrifices
,

Corruptions
punished
.
AFter
that
the
inscrutable
Wisedome
of
God
knew
the
obstinacie
and
infidelity
of
the
Israelitish
people
,
which
perseuered
still
in
committing
Idolatrie
,
by
corrupting
the
sacred
signes
,
sacraments
,
and
sacrifices
;
and
in
stead
of
acknowledging
Gods
infinite
goodnesse
,
that
had
freed
them
from
the
tyranny
of
Pharaoh
,
and
fedde
them
in
the
Desart
;
who
had
brought
them
into
a
promised
fertile
Land
,
and
had
so
many
times
assisted
them
in
the
warres
,
against
their
neighbours
,
the
Canaanites
,
Moabites
,
Madianites
,
Philistines
,
Ammonites
,
Syrians
,
Sydonians
,
and
other
enuious
people
,
and
enemies
:
This
rude
and
ingratefull
people
continued
still
in
their
Idolatry
,
instructed
by
their
Priests
,
sacrificers
,
Princes
,
and
Kings
,
without
returning
to
the
true
adoration
of
one
onely
God
:
For
this
cause
,
after
great
mercies
shewed
,
and
long
expectation
of
a
Iust
&
rigorous
Iudge
,
who
by
all
courses
of
correction
was
desirous
to
reduce
his
people
by
diuine
particular
inflictions
;
which
was
,
by
excited
wars
,
by
captiuities
,
&
seruitudes
,
by
diuisions
of
the
Kingdom
,
distributed
between
Roboam
and
Ieroboam
,
successours
to
Salomon
,
who
fell
to
extreme
Idolatry
,
by
intestine
and
ciuill
warres
,
growing
betweene
the
same
people
,
diuided
in
themselues
,
and
by
other
vsuall
scourges
,
to
chastize
those
whom
God
meant
to
fauour
,
for
the
reducing
of
them
vnder
his
feare
and
obedience
.
At
last
,
this
people
beeing
too
much
obdurate
,
and
inueterated
in
their
Idolatries
,
were
brought
into
miserable
seruitude
vnder
the
Tyranny
of
the
vnbeleeuing
Assyrians
,
But
some
pretty
while
after
,
when
the
same
people
by
the
speciall
mercy
of
God
,
were
deliuered
out
of
the
hands
of
these
infidell
Tyrants
,
restored
to
their
liberty
,
and
Countrey
of
promise
,
they
againe
fell
to
Idolatry
more
then
before
,
vnder
the
gouernement
of
their
sacrificers
and
high
Priests
,
which
confounded
the
Spirituall
and
Temporall
together
,
so
farre
as
to
inuest
themselues
with
the
Royall
Scepter
,
and
Diadem
.
Then
came
in
the
Heresies
of
the
Pharisees
,
For
the
Babylonians
worshipped
Succobenoth
for
their
god
.
Wherefore
,
when
all
kind
of
Idolatry
was
thus
spred
among
the
Israelites
,
when
the
sacrifices
were
absolutely
corrupted
,
the
sacrificers
became
mercenary
,
auaricious
,
tyrants
and
Idolatrous
.
The
people
made
tributary
to
the
Tyrants
of
Rome
;
the
Countrey
of
Judeae
reduced
to
a
Prouince
,
When
the
Royall
Scepter
was
alienated
from
the
Progenie
of
Judea

of

by

God

For
,
For
assurance
of
this
celestiall
succession
,
Now
,
Moreouer
,
Circumcision
was
appointed
onely
for
the
Males
,
and
not
for
Females
:
there
was
a
limited
time
appointed
for
Circumcision
;
which
was
,
within
eight
dayes
after
the
Natiuity
;
and
the
cutting
of
the
fore-skin
,
was
with
griefe
and
paine
.
But
the
Grace
of
God
,
This
Signe
of
Water
,
intimating
vnto
vs
the
purgation
and
expiation
of
our
sinnes
,
through
the
Bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
was
common
,
not
onely
among
the
Iewes
,
who
vsed
ordinarily
,
Water
purgatorie
,
and
of
expiation
;
but
the
Gentiles
also
,
and
all
other
Nations
,
By
which
Signe
,
he
hath
instituted
his
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
for
an
assured
note
and
marke
of
our
regeneration
and
purification
,
sacramentally
conferred
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
:
In
which
Sacrament
,
God
doth
warrant
vs
his
helpe
and
assistance
,
so
ingrafted
and
regenerate
in
Iesus
Christ
,
to
be
made
and
renewed
the
members
of
his
members
;
and
to
receiue
vs
,
The
like
reasons
may
be
produced
,
for
the
other
holy
Sacrament
instituted
by
God
in
his
New
Testament
,
which
is
that
of
Bread
and
Wine
:
Which
Signes
Symboles
,
and
externall
Elements
,
all
Nations
were
accustomed
to
vse
,
in
their
Sacrifices
,
Oblations
,
and
Ceremonies
belonging
to
their
Religions
;
both
Circumcised
and
vncircumcised
,
both
Iewes
and
Gentiles
:
As
also
,
the
two
specificall
Refections
for
the
nourishment
and
sustentation
of
men
,
are
comprehended
vnder
these
signes
of
Bread
and
Wine
.
Our
good
God
therefore
,
for
these
reasons
,
desiring
to
draw
all
Nations
to
himselfe
;
to
nourish
,
and
minister
vnto
them
most
necessarie
prouisions
,
He
instituted
the
Communion
of
the
Body
and
Bloud
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
vnder
the
symboles
,
sacred
signes
,
and
Sacraments
of
Bread
and
Wine
:
And
looke
how
we
are
assured
by
the
outward
marke
and
Character
of
Water
in
Baptisme
,
to
bee
regenerate
and
incorporated
into
the
Body
and
Blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
represented
in
this
Sacrament
of
consecrated
Water
,
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
so
are
wee
nourished
by
the
Communion
of
his
Body
and
Bloud
really
presented
to
vs
,
in
the
consecrated
Bread
and
Wine
,
for
our
spirituall
foode
,
liuing
and
eternall
,
by
the
vertue
and
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
:
Wherein
God
hath
shewed
vs
this
speciall
fauour
,
to
discharge
vs
of
all
bloudie
Sacrifices
,
ordained
in
the
first
Church
of
the
Israelites
,
who
were
charged
with
sundry
and
diuers
Sacrifices
,
celebrated
with
the
bloud
of
many
earthly
beasts
shed
,
according
to
the
diuersitie
of
sinnes
and
offences
,
and
of
persons
that
had
offended
.
All
which
Sacrifices
were
consummated
and
abolished
,
by
shedding
of
the
bloud
of
that
iust
and
Innocent
Lambe
,
IESVS
CHRIST
;
who
,
by
his
perfect
Sacrifice
,
hath
absolutely
abolished
all
other
Sacrifices
,
reseruing
to
himselfe
,
the
dignity
of
High
and
eternall
Priest
,
placed
at
the
right
hand
of
God
the
Father
.
But
so
much
hee
hath
fauoured
vs
,
that
in
stead
of
abolished
sacrifices
,
hee
hath
instituted
two
holy
Sacraments
heretofore
mentioned
,
for
an
infallible
assurance
of
our
Regeneration
,
Purgation
,
Adoption
,
and
of
our

CHAP.
VII
.
Of
the
Corruption
of
the
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
.
AS
the
Israelites
being
too
grosse
and
carnall
,
relyed
too
much
on
externall
signes
,
hauing
corrupted
the
true
vse
of
Sacrifices
,
and
Sacraments
appointed
for
them
by
God
;
so
such
like
abuses
,
yea
,
farre
greater
corruptions
haue
happened
in
the
two
holy
Sacraments
,
For
the
Messalian
Heretikes
,
By
this
meanes
the
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
came
to
bee
corrupted
,
What
greater
corruption
can
bee
imagined
,
then
such
abominable
inuentions
;
Some
also
there
bee
more
subtill
Magicians
,
Pithagoreans
,
instructed
in
the
Messalian
Heresie
,
haue
added
to
all
this
,
the
pronouncing
of
the
Deuils
name
twenty
times
,
to
exorcise
and
coniure
him
,
as
●e
that
associates
the
male
Infant
when
hee
comes
to
be
baptized
;
and
thirty
times
they
vtter
it
,
at
the
baptizing
of
a
Daughter
.
Was
there
euer
so
detestable
a
corruption
in
the
Sacrament
of
Circumcision
?
Wherefore
,
O
you
Messalians
,
haue
you
foysted
in
Oyles
,
into
the
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
;
imitating
herein
the
Heresie
of
Marcus
,
and
Marcosus
,
who
commanded
that
Infants
to
be
baptized
,
The
Body
and
Bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
wherewith
wee
are
clothed
anew
by
the
sacred
Water
of
Baptisme
,
was
it
not
powerfull
enough
,
and
efficacious
,
to
preserue
vs
from
all
tempests
,
without
borrowing
of
your
Exorcismes
and
Vnctions
?
And
yet
,
for
a
further
corruption
and
abuse
,
Women
were
permitted
to
baptize
,
conformable
to
the
errour
of
the
Marcionists
,
Quintilians
,
Cataphrigians
,
Montanists
,
In
the
Historie
of
Moses
it
is
reported
,
that
his
wife
Sephora
excited
with
feminine
furie
,
Out
of
these
corruptions
in
the
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
many
Heresies
were
raised
by
the
Catabaptists
,
Anabaptists
,
Antipedobaptists
,
with
other
Heretikes
,
and
Schismatikes
,
who
were
not
satisfied
with
Gods
pure
and
sincere
Institution
,
but
regarded
more
exteriour
signes
,
then
that
which
in
them
was
spiritually
represented
.
Whosoeuer
desires
to
vnderstand
more
particularly
,
the
abuses
and
corruptions
,
inuented
and
deuised
in
diuers
ages
,
out
of
the
variable
humours
of
men
,
let
them
read
our
Ecclesiasticall
Commentaries
.
Wee
must
now
at
this
present
descend
to
the
corruptions
in
the
other
holy
Sacrament
of
the
Supper
,
and
Communion
of
the
Body
and
Bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Of
the
Corruption
of
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
.
WEe
may
euidently
discerne
by
this
succinct
Discourse
,
how
weake
and
mutable
man
is
,
euer
abusing
and
alienating
the
graces
of
God
.
For
as
the
people
of
Israel
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
Law
and
Institution
to
them
recommended
,
corrupted
the
true
vse
of
Sacrifices
,
sacred
signes
,
and
Sacraments
ordained
of
God
,
so
hath
it
falne
out
to
the
Law
of
God
by
Iesus
Christ
,
hauing
constituted
a
forme
of
communicating
his
Body
●and
Bloud
,
vnder
the
symboles
and
sacred
signes
of
Bread
and
Wine
:
Which
holy
Sacrament
began
to
bee
alienated
,
euen
in
the
very
times
of
the
Apostles
,
by
the
Corinthians
;
Wherefore
,
let
no
man
hereafter
thinke
it
strange
,
if
the
Apostles
successors
haue
from
time
to
time
adulterated
the
true
Vse
and
Rite
of
this
holy
Sacrament
;
and
the
further
off
they
were
in
the
present
age
of
their
liuing
,
from
the
reigne
of
the
Apostles
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
more
easily
they
fell
into
corruptions
;
yea
,
such
as
were
most
abominable
;
hauing
conuerted
the
sincere
Vse
of
this
Sacrament
,
into
a
Gulph
and
Precipice
of
all
Idolatry
.
First
of
all
,
Sabatius
the
Heretike
instituted
the
celebration
of
the
Passeouer
,
Some
of
his
sect
ordained
,
Philip
Hiropolitan
,
Policarpus
,
Truscas
,
Melitus
,
and
Narcissus
Bishop
of
Ierusalem
;
Victor
Bishop
of
Rome
,
Eleutherius
his
predecessor
,
and
Theophilus
Bishop
of
Palestina
were
of
a
contrary
opinion
.
This
difference
continued
for
more
then
three
hundred
yeeres
after
the
Apostles
time
.
Others
celebrated
the
Passeouer
after
the
Aequinoctiall
season
,
when
the
sunne
entred
into
the
signe
of
Aries
:
and
others
obserued
the
Moneth
Xanthicke
,
called
by
the
Romanes
,
Aprill
.
Some
affirmed
for
example
the
Quartodocumans
,
how
they
were
informed
by
S.
Iohn
,
to
celebrate
it
in
the
fourteenth
Moneth
.
The
Romanes
vaunted
that
they
were
taught
by
S.
Peter
and
S.
Paul
,
whereof
notwithstanding
no
manifest
proofe
appeared
.
The
Phrygian
Montanists
condemne
the
Quartodecumans
,
which
obserued
the
fourteenth
Moneth
;
and
that
they
ought
herein
to
bee
gouerned
by
the
course
of
the
sunne
,
and
so
to
begin
it
at
the
springs
Aequinoctiall
:
And
for
this
reason
they
celebrated
it
the
eight
of
the
Ides
of
Aprill
,
which
was
the
fourteenth
of
the
said
Moneth
,
though
it
fell
vpon
a
Sunday
.
And
there
was
not
a
contention
onely
touching
the
administration
of
this
holy
Sacrament
,
Then
was
another
Iewish
Ceremonie
restored
,
But
was
there
any
holy
Apostle
of
God
,
Wherefore
,
we
must
necessarily
hereupon
inferre
,
that
the
Ceremony
and
Festiuity
of
the
Pascha
,
or
Easter
,
proceeded
from
a
custome
;
for
none
of
the
Apostles
left
any
thing
thereof
in
writing
.
To
qualifie
such
Dissentions
and
Corruptions
,
After
these
petty
corruptions
,
there
succeeded
greater
from
time
to
time
,
according
to
the
humors
and
affections
of
the
Bishops
of
Rome
.
He
also
renewed
the
Iewish
ceremony
of
vnleauened
bread
,
wherewith
to
celebrate
the
Passeouer
,
as
the
Iewes
did
;
following
herein
the
opinion
of
the
Ebionites
,
who
taught
,
that
the
Ceremoniall
Law
of
Moses
was
necessary
for
saluation
:
as
also
,
Symmachus
the
Hereticke
in
Palestine
,
taught
the
like
.
If
Iesus
Christ
was
circumcised
to
fulfill
the
Lawe
of
Moses
,
As
for
the
Purgatory
Water
by
him
ordained
,
wee
will
hereafter
deriue
the
originall
thereof
from
Numa
Pompilius
,
that
great
Magician
,
and
Romane
Idolater
.
With
this
comparison
,
Iustine
Martyr
relates
the
custome
obserued
amongst
Idolaters
,
and
by
Christians
,
in
the
consecration
of
Bread
,
Wine
,
and
Water
:
by
the
one
,
which
is
to
say
by
the
Idolaters
,
in
the
name
of
their
Idols
;
and
by
Christians
,
in
the
Name
of
their
True
God
.
And
yet
this
first
corruption
in
the
administration
of
the
holy
Sacrament
,
by
the
mixture
of
water
with
Wine
,
perseuered
not
without
contradiction
:
For
the
Greekes
were
of
a
contrary
opinion
;
Amarcanus
was
of
the
same
opinion
as
Alexander
;
affirming
,
that
the
mixture
of
water
with
Wine
was
necessary
.
Scotus
the
subtile
Sophister
,
absolutely
denied
,
that
it
was
necessary
to
mingle
the
water
with
the
Wine
:
because
,
saith
he
,
it
cannot
then
be
changed
,
nor
transubstantiated
into
Bloud
,
except
the
same
were
first
changed
into
Wine
.
Some
others
,
more
ingenious
,
laboured
to
interpret
this
Institution
of
Alexander
,
by
alleadging
,
that
the
wine
was
conuerted
into
blood
:
but
as
for
the
water
,
it
was
transubstantiated
into
the
water
that
came
out
of
Christs
side
.
This
first
corruption
of
Alexanders
,
gaue
occasion
of
many
other
succeeding
abuses
:
For
some
other
more
profound
Impostors
deuised
to
mingle
with
the
wine
,
bloud
,
that
was
taken
from
yong
Infants
,
Some
others
added
cheese
thereunto
,
For
another
detestable
corruption
of
this
holy
Sacrament
,
some
Popes
of
Rome
forbade
their
Messalian
sacrificers
,
not
to
administer
to
Christian
people
,
whom
they
call
Lay-men
,
the
Body
of
Iesus
Christ
in
both
kindes
,
but
onely
vnder
the
sacred
signe
of
Bread
,
and
not
of
Wine
;
which
they
reserued
for
their
Messalian
sacrificing
Priests
.
Is
not
this
corruption
directly
against
the
holy
Gospel
,
and
Institution
of
the
Supper
of
Iesus
Christ
,
ordained
and
commaunded
,
that
all
faithfull
men
should
eate
his
body
,
and
drinke
of
his
blood
?
When
he
tooke
the
Cup
,
did
he
not
vse
these
proper
words
?
Drinke
all
of
this
Wine
,
in
memoriall
of
my
Bloud
shed
?
Vsed
hee
any
other
words
for
the
eating
of
his
Bodie
in
the
symbole
of
Bread
,
then
hee
did
of
his
Blond
,
To
bring
in
another
odious
corruption
,
the
Messalians
instituted
in
their
Missall-Idolatries
,
to
sacrifice
and
offer
the
Body
and
Bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
reiterating
by
this
means
the
Sacrifice
fully
consummated
by
Iesus
Christ
,
which
cannot
bee
reiterated
,
because
it
was
,
not
according
to
the
forme
of
Aaron
,
but
of
Melchizedec
,
The
beginning
of
the
Supper
,
was
not
to
kill
or
immolate
,
or
to
sacrifice
any
beast
,
or
oblation
to
God
;
but
onely
to
eate
and
drinke
at
his
holy
banquet
,
prepared
for
vs
by
Iesus
Christ
,
the
Eternall
sacrifice
,
and
Sacrificer
;
who
reserued
onely
for
himselfe
this
Eternall
Priesthood
;
yet
neuerthelesse
,
hee
left
vnto
vs
a
sacred
Institution
of
a
banquet
,
set
before
vs
in
the
Bread
and
Wine
,
which
represent
his
Body
and
Bloud
.
After
these
aboue-named
corruptions
,
Satan
,
a
diligent
Babylonian
Architect
,
employed
all
his
power
and
means
,
to
rayse
an
inexpugnable
Fort
of
Idolatry
;
to
the
end
that
hee
might
wholly
demolish
and
subuert
the
kingdome
of
Iesus
Christ
,
when
hee
vndertooke
to
suborne
the
Masse
,
in
stead
of
the
holy
Sacrament
of
the
Supper
,
as
wee
will
briefly
produce
,
and
so
clearely
,
that
the
most
hard-hearted
Pharaohs
inueterated
in
their
ancient
Idolatries
,
shall
by
the
trueth
of
Histories
acknowledge
their
errours
,
and
abominable
Heresies
.

.
The
ancient
Religion
of
the
Romane
Empire
.
BEfore
my
deciphering
of
this
labyrinth
of
Errour
,
All
of
them
,
as
well
as
my selfe
,
will
confesse
,
that
the
ancient
Romane
Religion
was
either
wholly
,
or
for
the
greatest
part
instituted
by
Numa
Pompilius
,
the
second
King
of
the
Romanes
,
about
seuen
hundred
yeeres
before
the
Incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Then
were
your
high
Priests
inuested
,
which
afterwards
were
reduced
to
a
certaine
number
,
In
the
Colledge
of
Priests
,
Pontifex
Maximus
,
who
was
chosen
by
the
other
inferiour
Priests
,
of
their
Order
and
dignitie
;
euen

the
election
of
their

Romane
Pope
,
out
of
their
place
,
order

and
dignitie

This
Pompilian
Religion
was
so
religiously
obserued
by
the
Romanes
from
father
to
sonne
,
as
it
was
neuer
possible
to
irradicate
,
or
supplant
it
:
but
it
continues
euen
to
this
day
,
as
euery
one
shall
manifestly
discerne
by
this
succinct
Narration
.
To
confirme
this
point
,
no
man
can
be
ignorant
,
if
euer
he
read
the
Romane
Histories
;
but
that
,
before
the
Incarnation
of
Christ
,
there
was
not
so
much
as
one
King
,
Consull
,
Dictator
,
or
Romane
Emperour
,
instructed
in
the
Law
of
God
,
but
all
were
Idolaters
and
Infidels
,
obseruing
the
Religion
of
that
Magician
,
Numa
Pompilius
.
For
since
the
Incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
the
space
of
three
hundred
yeeres
,
or
thereabouts
,
there
was
not
likewise
any
Emperour
,
or
Romane
Consull
,
that
changed
his
Religion
,
to
embrace
the
Law
of
Iesus
Christ
:
but
,
on
the
contrary
,
they
strayn'd
all
their
might
and
power
,
to
put
in
practice
what
cruelties
soeuer

the
Bishops
of
Rome
,
who
tearmed
themselues
Christians
,
could
neuer
draw
the
Senate
nor
Senators
of
Rome
,
to
entertaine
the
holy
Gospel
.
As
also
they
could
hardly
conuert
the
Romane
Idolaters
from
their
old
and
inueterate
Idolatries
.
For
the
Bishops
of
Rome
were
too
busie
in
restoring
the
Iewish
and
heathen
Ceremonies
,
about
difference
of
meats
,
touching
ordinances
not
to
fast
on
Sundayes
or
Thursdayes
;

of
Rome
.
and
other
vestiments
for
the
Priests
in
their
sacrifices
,
of
white
,
&
no
died
colours
.
Some
had
their
braines
troubled
to
deuise
Feasts
of
dedication
,
and
Consecration
with
Exorcismes
,
Then
afterwards
during
the
time
of
these
tyrant
Emperours
,
Others
were
occupied
in
ordaining
and
decreeing
,
Some
looke
out
for
Chalices
,
Others
instituted
solemne
ceremonies
for
the
foure
seuerall
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
to
bring
Christians
by
this
meanes
vnder
the
seruitude
of
destinction
of
daies
.
Others
were
studiously
employed
in
ordaining
the
oblation
,
Others
were
occupied
in
deuising
confirmation
for
little
Infants
,
and
to
consecrate
the
Creame
for
Bishops
only
,
also
to
honour
extraordinarily
the
Bishop
of
Hostia
,
by
whose
hands
the
Bishop
of
Rome
is
to
be
consecrated
,
with
a
kinde
of
Mantle
called
Pallium
:
How
was
it
possible
therefore
,
for
the
first
Bishops
of
Rome
to
drawe
the
Princes
and
Romane
Senators
,
to
the
Law
of
the
Gospell
,
for
three
or
foure
hundred
yeares
after
the
Incarnation
of
Christ
,
when
they
laboured
nothing
else
but
to
corrupt
the
vse
of
the
holy
Sacraments
,
to
restore
the
Iewish
ceremonies
,
and
the
Idolatries
of
the
ancient
Heathen
Romanes
?
They
may
here
obiect
one
Philip
,
which
some
vaunt
,
was
conuerted
to
holy
Baptism
,
whose
depraued
manners
gaue
occasion
to
the
most
authentick
Historiographers
,
Cronic
.
of
Iohn
Baptista
Ignatius
.
to
esteeme
him
vnworthy
of
the
name
of
a
Christian
;
Whereunto
they
adde
Constantine
the
Great
,
that
assembled
the
Counsell
of
Nice
,
but
his
residence
was
in
Greece
,
called
the
Empire
of

,
and
yet
he
would
neuer
embrace
the
Character
of
Baptisme
,
to
be
regenerate
by
the
blood
of
Christ
,
till
he
was

ordained
to
punish
the
Romaine
Idolaters
committed
by
them
,
who
had
receiued
the
knowledge
of
the
holy
Gospell
:
and
yet
ranne
astray
from
the
true
adoration
and
worship
of
God
,
violated
and
corrupted
the
holy
Sacraments
by
their
humane
inuentions
and
fictions
:
in
like
manner
to
punish
the
obstinacie
,
and
infidelity
of
the
Emperours
and
Senators
of
Rome
,
who
first
by
their
Officers
,
and
Lieuetenants
Deputies
,
had
caused
Iesus
Christ
,
and
his
holy
Apostles
to
bee
crucified
:
daily
persecuted
the
Christians
,
and
euer
opposed
the
Law
Euangelicall
,
to
maintaine
their
Pompilian
Religion
.
We
may
therefore
resolue
,
and
conclude
,
that
for
the
space
of
foure
hundred
yeares
,
the
Romane
Church
of
Emperours
and
Senators
were
alwaies
opposites
and
enemies
to
the
Law
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Afterwards
when
the
Westerne
Empire
was
extinguished
for
three
hundred
yeares
or
thereabouts
,
that
Rome
,
and
all
Italie
was
rulde
and
gouerned
by
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
Dukes
,
that
were
Infidels
,
and
Idolaters
,
which
was
by
the
Vuandales
,
by
the
Gothes
,
by
the
Hunnes
,
Ostrogothes
,
Visigothes
,
and
Lumbards
,
for
the
space
of
seauen
hundred
yeares
or
thereabouts
after
the
Iucarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
there
was
no
Emperours
,
Kings
nor
Princes
at
Rome
,
that
would
embrace
the
Law
of
Iesus
Christ
.
The

I
desired

end
the

might
not

it

,
to

end
nothing
might
be
concealed
out
of
the

histories
,
to
obscure
the
clearenesse
and

of
truth
,
during
the
Tyranny

of

Nations
,
there
was
erected
in

a

Exarcate
at

stood

Charles

While
this

Exarcate
continued
at

a
long
time
before

Donation
,
After
him
rose
another
great
Antichrist
in

,
May
not
he
rightly
be
term'd
Antichrist
,
that
labours
directly
to
oppose
the
holy
Gospell
of
Iesus

,
Is
not

truly
an
Antichrist

will

be
Iesus

to
the
chiefe
Pontificacie

and
to
the

him
administred

which
dignity
he
reseru'd
onely
to
himselfe
,
he
remaining
eternall
and
high
Priest
for

:
Who
left
no
successour
in
his
dignity

as
Aaron

his

did

to
the
dignity

but
according
to
the
order
of
Melchisedeck

King
,
and
high

without
any

Wherefore
O

why
haue
you
assum'd
the
dignity
of
high
Priests
,
as
Heads
and
Soueraignes
of

About

This
briefe

compendious

I
thought
requisite
to
recite
,
before
I
began
to

the
originall
of

sacrifice
of
the

,
:
that
thereby
I
might

:
how
the
Romane
Empire
was
gouern'd
till
the

,

was
about

Of
the
Masse
in
particular
,
with
her
true
Originall
.
FOr
beginning
to
this
our
briefe
Missall
Treatise
,
Numa
Pompilius
,
neuer
thought
of
the
Hebrewes
,
when
he
first
instituted
the
Masse
:
neither
can
this
word
Missa
,
or
Messe
,
take
originall
from
the
Greekes
.
Because
there
is
no
sacrifice
of
this
name
or
title
,
though
some
haue
brought
in
a
colourable
reason
from
this
Greeke
word
Myzein
,
which
is
to
say
in
French
;
to
hide
or
keepe
in
secret
:
as
if
the
Messalian
Sacrificers
receiued
from
the
auncient
idolatrous
Greekes
,
to
mumble
secretly
the
principall
words
of
their
Masses
,
that
the
Auditors
might
not
heare
them
:
but
they
vsed
to
murmur
and
whisper
betwixt
the
teeth
,
the
Canons
,
and
some
speciall
words
,
which
neither
themselues
,
nor
they
that
looke
on
vnderstand
.
Neuerthelesse
,
neither
the
Hebrew
nor
Greeke
words
cannot
properly
be
applyed
to
the
Missall
Sacrifice
.
And
therefore
we
must
repaire
to
the
true
etimologie
of
the
word
Missa
,
Messager
,
Message
,
and
Messiues
,
for
letters
sent
.
Wherefore
,
when
the
ancient
Romane
Idolaters
meant
to
dismisse
the
Assistants
at
the
Sacrifices
celebrated
,
they
pronounced
in
the
end
these
words
.
Laiois
Aphesis
,
as
if
he
discharged
the
people
.
Ite
,
missa
est
,
which
signifies
a
leaue
giuen
to
the
company
or
assembly
,
to
depart
:
so
as
they
themselues
,
which
frequent
these
Temples
,
The
Arabians
,
and
Mahumetists
,
instructed
for
a
long
time
by
the
Monke
Sergius
,
as
formerly
we
cited
,
hold
this
word
of
Messa
in
great
esteeme
.
By
which
word
they
haue
nominated
three
Townes
or
Cities
called
Messa
,
Mount
Atlas
takes
his
beginning
.
Neere
to
the
same
Townes
,
in
the
Suburbs
,
there
is
a
Temple
much
reuerenced
by
the
Turkish
Idolaters
,
because
they
beleeue
,
Antonie
Geffrie
.
Ionas
was
cast
vp
againe
,
after
his
being
swallowed
vp
by
the
Whale
.
Furthermore
,
they
so
highly
esteeme
this
name
of
Messelmans
,
as
we
doe
the
name
and
title
of
Christians
.
Intimating
by
this
word
Messelman
,
as
much
as
saued
.
Moreouer
,
the
Mahumetists
honoured
their
Priests
with
the
name
of
Messe
,
calling
them
Messen
,
and
their
Temples
Messites
,
Messen
,
Messi
.
or
Meschites
:
Wherefore
,
they
that
publisht
the
Anatomie
of
the
Masse
,
the
Centons
,
the
Foundation
,
Augmentation
,
and
embellishing
thereof
,
could
not
but
write
with
speciall
reuerence
,
in
respect
of
the
ancient
Pompilian
Religion
and
the
Alcaron
,
Institutions
of
Mahumet
.
After
we
haue
thus
decided
the
word
of
Messe
,
or
of
in
the
Romane
tongue
,
to
be
deriued
from
the
auncient
Romane
Idolaters
,
and
not
from
the
Hebrewes
not
the
Greekes
:
we
must
now
discend
to
the
vestments
of
these
Missalian
Sacrificers
.
As
for
the
vestment
of
Missall
Sacrificers
,
Numa
ordained
that
it
should
be
white
,
called
by
the
Latine
word
Alba
,
an
Aube
:
These
are
the
principall
vestments
,
Stole
,
Ephod
,
Zone
,
or
Centure
,
the
Myter
or
Theare
,
and
some
other
decorations
,
the
better
to
pownce
,
and
set
forth
the
great
Babilonish
whore
.
But

Missalians
desirous
to
alter
the
original
of
their
Missall
vestments
,
Pylat
.
Philo
the
Iew
,
a
more
worthy
Philosopher
,
in
his
Treatise
of

,
subtilly
deuiseth
,
that
the

Another

also
further
sophisticates
,
that
by

vnderstood
the
humane
infirmity
of
Christ
,
which
being
tyed
with
the
Maniple
,
that
Christ
is
tyed
and
bound
by
his
diuinitie
,
like
a

Brunus
another
Missalian
Doctor

fantasticates
,
that
by
the
Maniple
is
inferred
the
Missalian
Priests
speciall
care
to
driue
away
bad
affections
:
or
else
that
it
figures
the
Cord
,
wherewith
Christ
was
bound
by
the
Iewes
;
and
that
the
Stole
is
a
figure
of
the
Lords

weare
garnished

The
other
painted
Ornament
instituted
formerly
by
the
Magitian
Numa
,
they
disguise
by
the
name
of
a
Planet
,
as
an
errant
Vestment
;
otherwise
called
a
Cap
,
or
Chasuble
,
which
they
say
resembles
the
Purple
Robe
presented
to
Christ
,
in
Pilates
Hall
,
when
they
mocked
and
called
him
King
of
the
Iewes
.
There
is
another
sophistrie
,
how
this
Vestment
implies
the
Nature
of
Christ
,
wherein
the
Deity
was
couched
.
Philo
the
Iew
immitating
Plato
,
interprets
this
Vestment
so
adorned
with
colours
,
to
be
a
Figure
of
the
signes
,

coelestiall
Starres
.

This

was
in

beginning

which
is
attributed
to
Agapet
the
Romane
Pope
:
But
this
was
Instituted
aboue
a
thousand
yeares
before
him
;
for
the
ancient
Romane
Idolaters
called
it
Supplication
.
A
forme
Instituted
by
Numa
to
goe
on
Procession
,
either
to
appease
the
wrath
of
the
godds
,
to
obtaine
peace
,
or
to
pray
vnto
God
for
the
fruits
of
the
earth
;
the
order
was
in
the
manner
:
First
before
the
Procession
walkt
certaine
young
children
,
then
the
sacrificing
Priests
clad
in
white
Surplesses
,
singing
Hymnes
,
Paeans
,
and
Canticles
to
the
honour
of
their
gods
.
Then
marched
the
high
Priest
,
or
Curio
:
Then
marched
the
Romane
Senators
,
with
their
wiues
and
children
:
and
sometimes
the
common
people
assisted
.
There
was
commonly
carried
about
in
Procession
,
the
Shrine
or
Reliquarie
of
god
Iupiter
,
or
of
Anubis
,
by
some
Priests
clad
in
white
Surpleses
,
with
shauen
heads
,
and
thereon
wearing
crownes
.
This
Crowne
was
of
such
reuerence
and
esteeme
,
that
the
Emperour
himselfe
Commodus
Antonius
high
Pontifex
,
caused
his
head
to
be
shauen
&
cut
round
,
expressely
to
carry
the
Cabinet
of
god
Anubis
.
Before
the
Cabinet
or
Reliquarie
,
went
a
Cierger
,
carrying
a
light
Taper
in
his
hand
.
When
the
Procession
went
along
through
the
streets
,
there
were
seats
erected
,
to
serue
for
stations
or
places
,
where
the
Priests
,
which
caried
the
relicks
were
apointed
to
rest
&
take
breath
.
When
the
Procession
was
ended
,
Numa
Pompilius
himselfe
?
in
his
Histories
.
or
the
Babilonian
sacrificers
,
wearing
their
heads
and
beards
shauen
.
As
for
the
Law
of
God
,
the
contrary
therein
was
obserued
,
and
the
sacrificing
Priests
were
forbidden
,
to
cut
their
heads
or
haire
round
,

his

and
to
shaue
their
heads
.
And
as
for
the
Law
of
the
Gospel
,
there
is
no
such
like
ceremony
commanded
by
Iesus
Christ
,
nor
by
his
Apostles
:
they
must
therefore
needs
proceed
from
the
ancient
Pompilian
Religion
:
For
other
things
in
the
Procession
,
they
haue
added
the
carrying
of
the
Crosse
or
Banner
:
this
Banner
was
tearmed
by
the
ancient
Romane
Idolaters

:

was

BVt
to
varnish
this
Babylonian
Sacrifice
,
the
Alcoranist
Missalians
interpret
the
variety
of
their
musicall
Songs
by
Pythagoricall
Philosophy
.
As
for
the
Collects
,
that
is
to
say
,
pieced
or
annexed
Prayers
;
they
co●mand
them
to
besung
in
vneauen
numbers
:
that

three

fiue

three
,
to

fiue

vttered

or
else
the
seuen
gifts
of
the
Holy-Ghost
.
Furthermore
,
for
the
more
subtill
Pythagoricall
Philosophy
,
the
Masse-Priest
must
not
passe
the
number
of
seuen
,
by
the
ordinance
of
Pope
Innocent
the
third
of
that
name
.
The
Sophister
Biel
in
his
Alcoran
of
the
interpretation
of
the
Masse
,
addes
,
That
the
number
of
the
Collects
are
equall
to
that
of
the
secrets
;
which
is
to
say
,
to
prayers
secretly
mumbled
by
the
Masse-priest
,
that
they
might
not
be
contemned
of
the
people
.
After
the
Collects
,
the
Graduall
song
more
sharpe
and
graue
,
is
a
figure
of
the
confession
of
Publicans
,
when
they
heard
the
preaching
of
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
:
notwithstanding
,
this
Graduall
note
is
not
sung
in
the
missall
sacrifices
from
Easter
till
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
,
to
decypher
the
happy
estate
of
the
time
to
come
.
Besides
the
sound
of
the
Organs
,
In
Titlemans
Alcoran
,
the
incense
is
interpreted
for
the
prayer
of
the
Masse-priest
,
that
it
may
mount
vp
into
heauen
with
the
odour
of
swauity
:
euen
as
the
fume
of
incense
steames
up
on
high
.
He
sophisticates
also
with
Biel
his
companion
,
auerring
that
the
Incense
signified
the
grace
of
the
holy
Spirit
.
These
subtill
Alcoranists
alledge
the
passage
of
Tobia
,
who
draue
away
the
Deuill
by
the
perfume
of
a
burnt
Liuer
.
The
same
Biel
makes
another
interpretation
of
the
incense
,
as
that
it
figures
the
vnction
of
Christ
by
Mary
Magdalen
,
because
Christ
was
anointed
twice
,
the
incense
is
also
twice
offered
in
the
Missall
Sacrifice
.
For
another
part
of
the
Missall
Sacrifice
celebrated
by
the
ancient
idolaters
,
After
his
example
,
many
particular
men
did
the
like
,
so
as
their
benefices
grew
rich
by
these
foundations
or
annuities
:
and
these
benefices
were
of
two
kinds
;
one
at
the
presentation
and
inauguration
of
a
Prince
,
of
the
Common-wealth
,
or
of
the
Colledge
of
Pontifes
:
the
other
were
at
the
presentation
of
some
particulars
,
patrons
of
the
same
benefices
by
them
founded
,
and
endued
with
great
richesse
.
Ouer
which
ben●fices
the
high
Romane
Pontifes
had
vsurped
a
power
to
giue
dispensation
for
the
holding
of
two
together
,
as
in
Titus
Liuius
it
is
related
of
Fabius
Maximius
,
After
the
Offertory
,
per
omnia
secula
seculorum
:
because
after
Christ
had
hidden
himselfe
,
he
publikely
came
forth
in
Lazarus
house
:
Then
he
sings
Sanctus
,
sanctus
,
sanctus
;
to
allude
to
the
Iewes
song
,
when
Christ
entred
into
Ierusalem
.
When
this
Musicke
ends
,
the
Priest
must
murmur
in
secret
,
and
betweene
his
teeth
,
counterfeiting
sorrow
,
without
any
turne-abouts
,
but
then
he
must
expresse
a
kind
of
mute
mummery
,
by
the
making
of
many
reiterated
croysadoes
,
as
shall
hereafter
be
mentioned

,
the
Missalian
Doctors
ordained
the
Priest
,
to
vtter
certaine
exorcismes
,
and
coniurations
,
with
many
signes
of
the
crosse
.
First
,
hee
must
make
three
crosses
vpon
this
round
host
,
to
figure
the
trinall
tradition
of
Christ
;
that
is
to
say
,
by
the
Father
,
by
himselfe
Christ
,
and
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
in
pronouncing
these
words
;
Haec
dona
,
haec
munera
,
haec
sancta
sacrificia
illibata
.
Some
other
Doctors
Alcoranists
and
Missalians
interpret
the
third
crossing
for
Iudas
treason
,
who
deliuered
his
Master
into
the
hands
of
the
Iewes
.
Besides
the
aboue
mentioned
three
Croisadoes
,
fiue
other
follow
:
to
intimate
the
fiue
dayes
space
from
the
day
of
Palmes
,
to
the
day
of
the
Passion
,
or
otherwise
to
represent
the
fiue
wounds
of
Christ
;
two
in
the
hands
,
two
in
the
feet
,
and
one
in
the
right
side
.
Of
which
fiue
Croysadoes
,
the
three
first
must
be
made
ouer
the
Chalice
,
and
the
round
host
;
to
figure
the
deliuery
of
Christ
to
the
Priests
,
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
or
to
signifie
the
price
of
Christs
sale
,
that
is
to
say
,
three
times
ten
,
which
import
the
thirty
pence
.
The
two
other
crossi●gs
are
made
distinctly
;
on
which
is
the
fourth
ouer
the
host
,
and
the
other
ouer
the
Chalice
distinctly
,
to
manifest
vnto
vs
the
two
persons
,
of
Christ
and
Iudas
:
when
this
is
done
,
the
Masse-Priest
continuing
in
his
fooleries
and
monckeries
,
stretcheth
out
his
armes
,
to
delineate
Christ
spred
vpon
the
Crosse
:
then
,
he
lifts
the
round
host
printed
with
imagery
on
high
,
that
it
may
be
adored
:
Afterwards
,
he
returnes
to
make
three
crosses
;
one
ouer
the
host
,
another
ouer
the
Chalice
,
and
a
third
ouer
himselfe
:
to
play
herein
the
part
of
three
estates
or
conditions
:
of
those
that
are
in
Heauen
,
in
Purgatory
,
and
in
the
earth
.
Then
he
thumps
vpon
his
brest
,
to
play
the
penitent
theefe
that
was
hanged
vpon
the
Crosse
.
This
thumping
of
his
stomacke
must
bee
performed
with
the
three
last
fingers
of
his
hand
,
because
the
thumbe
and
the
next
finger
are
reserued
to
consecrate
and
transubstantiate
the
round
host
.
Moreouer
,
he
must
beat
his
brest
three
times
,
to
figure
a
triple
offence
,
of
the
heart
,
of
the
mouth
,
and
of
reall
act
;
exalting
his
voice
,
to
represent
the
Theefe
or
the
Centurion
which
confessed
God
in
the
Passion
.
Sixe
other
Croisadoes
are
afterwards
reiterated
,
three
ouer
the
cou●red
Chalice
,
to
commemorate
the
three
houres
that
Christ
hung
aliue
vpon
the
Crosse
;
and
three
other
crosses
are
made
ouer
the
open
Chalice
,
and
the
round
host
,
being
once
more
eleuated
,
to
decypher
the
three
houres
,
that
Christ
hung
dead
vpon
the
Crosse
.
Then
does
he
adde
two
other
crosses
,
after
the
Masse-monger
hath
kist
his
Chalice
,
to
describe
the
mystery
of
blood
and
water
issuing
out
of
Christs
sides
.
Besides
all
the
aboue
mentioned
mute
mummeries
,
the
Priest
must
lift
the
vaile
ouer
the
Chalice
,
and
release
it
from
the
Plataine
,
to
represent
the
rent
vaile
in
the
midst
,
at
Christs
death
.
This
being
done
,
the
round
host
is
laid
vpon
the
Chalice
,
and
couched
in
the
corporall
,
to
figure
the
burial
of
Christ
.
When
the
Masse
priest
hath
plaia
the
part
of
the
hang'd
theefe
,
of
the
traitor
Iudas
,
of
Christ
,
of
the
Publicanes
,
hee
afterwards
comoediates
the
Centurion
,
singing
the
Pater
Noster
.
But
Durandus
Alcoran
,
by
the
seuen
petitions
in
the
Pater
Noster
,
expresseth
the
seuen
teares
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
the
seuen
vertues
;
or
the
seuen
mortall
sinnes
.
When
this
song
is
ended
,
the
Priest
remaines
silent
for
a
while
,
to
represent
the
silence
and
repose
of
Christ
in
the
graue
.
Another
apery
or
monckery
is
plaid
by
the
Masse-priest
,
with
the
round
host
,
which
he
layes
vpon
the
Pix
,
to
decypher
the
vnion
of
his
diuinity
with
his
humanity
:
but
when
hee
plaies
the
secret
mystery
,
the
host
is
hidden
out
of
sight
.

Of
diuers
parts

sundry
Ceremonies
belonging
to
the
Masse

WHen
the

was
ended

&
the
little
round
hosts
eaten
,
I
,

which
is
to
say
,
go
,
you
are
permitted
,
the
assembly
is
dismist
,
to
repaire
home
to
their
houses
.
Are
not
these
all
the
parts
of
the
Missall
sacrifice
,
But
you
Missalists
,
I
fore-see
your
cautels
,
wherein
(
Missalians
)
you
wil
readily
confesse
that
the
main
body
,
and
principall
parts
of
the
Masse
,
were
digested
and
brought
in
by
Numa
Pompilius
:
the
further
additions
notwithstanding
and
ornaments
were
inuented
by
other
Romane
Pontifes
;
and
especially
by
a
Monck
called
Gregory
,
the
first
of
that
name
,
who
attained
to
the
Papacy
:
who
being
instructed
in
Pythagoricall
Magicke
and
Philosophy
,
hauing
also
studied
the
lawes
of
King
Tullus
Hostilius
,
successor
to
Numa
,
to
the
end
to
perpetuate
his
name
by
some
new
addition
to
the
sacrifice
of
the
Masse
,
Gregory
held
this
ninth
number
in
great
reuerence
,
Instead
of
which
Alleluia
is
sung
another
song
called
a
tract
,
with
a
loud
voice
,
and
a
protracted
note
,
in
a
graue
kind
of
Musicke
,
to
decypher
the
miseries
of
this
age
.
Now
,
hee
that
sings
the
Alleluia
must
sing
with
a
higher
voice
then
he
that
howles
the
Graduall
,
as
Titlemans
Alcoran
makes
mention
.
Was
there
not
M●gicke
enough
in
the
Missalians
sacrifice
without
adding
these
Greeke
and
Hebrew
words
?
and
foisting
in
Pithagoricall
numbers
,
and
the
song
Nouemdiall
;
instituting
a
distinction
of
daies
,
where
on
to
sing
the
Hebrew
words
,
on
other
dayes
prohibiting
them
?
and
to
inuent
croysadoes
and
mute
mummeries
?
Are
not
these
corruptions
of
the
holy
Sacrament
of
the
supper
ordained
by
God
?
some
others
augumented
this
Missal
sacrifice
,
Kisse-Pix
,
instituted
.
as
Damasus
the
Romane
Pontifice
,
with
a
Gloria
Patri
:
Sergius
with
the
Agnus
Dei
song
thrice
:
Which
Titleman
interprets
to
be
a
figure
of
Christs
Ascension
.
Innocent
with
a
kissing
of
the
Pix
by
the
Priest
.
Which
Pix
of
gold
signifies
the
Diuinity
of
Christ
,
by
the
doctrine
of
the
Alcoran
:
the
Gloria
in
excelsis
by
Symmachus
,
which
must
be
sung
with
a
low
and
mild
voice
,
and
it
represents
as
Titlemans
Alcoran
relates
,
Furthermore
,
Alexander
,
Gelasius
,
Syricius
,
Leo
,
and
Pelagius
.
These
be
peeces
patcht
together
,
according
to
the
humour
of
the
Romane
Pontifes
,
Authors
,
Restorers
,
Endowers
,
and
augmenters
of
the
Missall
Sacrifice
.
We
must
not
omit
the
greatest
enrichment
instituted
in
this
Missall
sacrifice
,
The
Missalians
for
the
song
after
the
Epistles
and
Gospels
,
constituted
two
persons
,
to
solemnize
their
Missall
dance
,
which
is
to
say
,
the
Subdeacon
who
marcheth
afore
,
to
play
the
part
of
the
first
law
of
the
Iewes
;
and
the
Deacon
who
comes
after
in
greater
dignity
,
to
represent
the
Law
Euangelicall
.
Which
Deacon
caries
a
pillow
against
his
stomacke
,
to
figure
an
humbled
heart
:
The
Subdeacon
receiues
no
benediction
from
the
Masse-Priest
,
as
the
Deacon
doth
:
because
,
say
the
Missalian
Doctors
,
God
sent
his
Prophets
inuisibly
:
But
the
Deacon
representing
the
Euangelicall
Law
receiues
benediction
,
as
being
sent
among
wolues
,
in
that
Christ
sent
his
Apostles
visibly
like
men
.
The
Deacon
is
enioyned
to
we
are
a
crost
stole
hanging
downe
his
shoulders
crosse
the
reines
of
the
backe
,
to
figure
force
and
continencie
ioyned
together
in
the
Masse-Priest
.
The
Deacon
playing
his
part
,
and
singing
some
abstracted
passage
of
the
Gospell
,
in
a
language
not
vnderstood
either
by
himselfe
,
or
the
assistants
,
must
wheele
about
toward
the
North
,
standing
vpright
:
because
saith
Titleman
,
the
Northerne
parts
are
cold
and
abnoxious
:
for
this
reason
he
must
make
a
crosse
,
to
repell
Northerne
Deuills
.

Antiquity

IS
not
this
long
Possession
,
to
confirme
the
Mahumetan
Alcoran
,
Was
the
people
of
Israel
excusable
before
God
,
If
therefore
during
the
reignes
of
Princes
,
Iudges
of

,
when
this
people
was
gouerned
as
in
an
Aristocracy
,
then
yeelding
to
the
yoake
of

,
as
by
a

:
and
at

reduced
vnder
the
gouernment
of
Priests
,
embracing
the
spirituall

temporall
,
the
law
of

was
corrupted
,
the
sacrifices

sacraments
adulterated

violated

erected

then
sixteeene
hundred
years
from
the
written
law
,
publisht
by

,
till
the

what
may
be
hoped
of
the
people
of
Rome
,
instructed
and
nourished
in
all
idolatry
,
like
a
withered
tree
,
like
a
bastard
and
heathen
people
?
Notwithstanding
that
the
Missalian
heretikes
may
not
vaunt
of
long
possession
,
in
their
missall
sacrifices
,
except
it
be
by
the
restauration
of
the
nine
parts
formerly
described
,
borrowed
from
Numa

:
the
other
members
of

,
were
inuented
at
diuers
times
by
sundry
Antichrists
,
corrupters
of
the

to

of

What

How
can
we

Against
the
Idolatry
of
the
round
Host
.
BVt
we
must
returne
to
our
Romane
History
,
These
little
round
Hosts
of
wheat
floure
were
taken
by
the
Missalian
sacrificers
,
Numa
Pompilius
,
in
that
they
beautify
their
little
round
Hosts
with
pictures
and
images
printed
within
the
rotundity
of
the
said
Hosts
,
to
make
them
the
more
sacred
,
yea
that
they
may
bee
adored
,
out
of
Honorius
inuention
a
Romane
Antichrist
,
reigning
in
the
yeare
of
Christs
incarnation
1226
,
which
Numa
the
Magician
neuer
practised
before
,
neither
grew
to
this
abominable
idolatry
:
what
more
detestable
heresie
can
be
laid
open
,
then
to
paint
the
Maiestie
of
God
in
the
forme
of
humane
similitude
as
the
Anthropomorphites
did
?
Who
taught
you
,
O
Missalians
,
And
the
Missalians
haue
not
onely
made
choice
of
the
round
forme
in
their
consecrated
hosts
,
printed
with
Images
,
to
make
them
be
adored
after
the
manner
of
the
ancient
Romans
:
but
moreouer
they
haue
exceeded
all
other
Idolaters
.
For
in
the
daies
of
Numa
and
his
successors
,
those
that
were
present
at
the
Missall
sacrifice
,
eate
standing
together
the
said
little
round
consecrated
hosts
,
they
vsing
no
charity
towards
them
that
assist
in
their
Missall
sacrifices
?
Is
this
to
follow
the
ordinance
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
brake
the
bread
and
distributed
it
to
his
Apostles
?
Iesus
Christ
the
eternall
Priest
,
stood
he
alone
neere
to
an
altar
,
munching
a
little
round
Host
,
printed
with
Images
,
when
he
celebrated
the
holy
communion
of
his
body
.
O
you
Missalians
,
more
detestable
,
and
lesse
charitable
Idolaters
,
then
all
the
other
ancient
Romanes
;
can
you
so
sophisticate
and
iuggle
,
as
to
procure
your
Missall
sacrifice
(
wherein
the
Priest
alone
deuoures
the
little
round
printed
Host
with
Images
,
giuing
no
share
of
it
to
others
)
to
be
taken
and
receiued
as
a
communion
,
causing
them
that
are
present
at
your
Masse
by
an
admirable
Magicke
to
beleeue
,
that
they
haue
communicated
together
with
the
Priest
,
though
they
neither
eate
,
nor
receiue
any
portion
of
the
round
Host
.
And
yet
further
,
for
a
more
extreame
Idolatry
,
the
Missalian
Doctors
Interpreters
informe
,
that
the
round
Host
must
be
diuided
into
three
parts
,
one
for
those
that
are
in
Paradise
,
another
for
those
that
are
in
Purgatory
,
to
obtaine
remission
of
their
sinnes
,
and
a
third
steept
in
wine
,
for
those
that
are
liuing
in
the
world
.
But
Durands
Alcoran
sets
downe
,
that
the
three
broken
portions
of
the
Host
,
represents
the
triple
forme
of
Christs
body
,
sleeping
in
the
graue
,
lying
on
the
earth
,
and
afterwards
raised
vp
from
the
dead
.
Biel
another
subtil
Doctor
,
not
to
confesse
the
body
of
Christ
to
be
broken
or
bruised
in
the
round
host
,
deuiseth
the
fraction
of
the
Host
to
be
made
of
an
accident
without
substance
.
Are
not
these
abhominable
Heresies
,
to
make
soules
that
are
in
Paradise
,
or
Purgatory
communicate
:
instituted
by
Sergius
a
Mahumetan
Doctor
,
by
the
meanes
of
a
round
Host
deuoured
by
the
Masse-Priest
?
But
peraduenture
(
Missalians
)
you
may
obiect
vnto
me
,
the
vse
of
the
Primatiue
Church
obserued
in
the
Communion
of
the
holy
Supper
,
where
euery
one
of
the
assembly
in
the
Temple
,
tooke
a
portion
of
the
broken
bread
;
being
also
consecrated
to
eate
,
and
communicate
together
:
which
custome
was
retained
till
this
present
day
,
in
your
Missall
sacrifices
,
celebrated
on
Sundayes
,
The
round
Host
is
azimall
,
and
the
holy
bread
made
with
leuen
:
the
round
Host
is
without
salt
,
and
the
holy
bread
seasoned
:
the
round
Host
is
printed
with
Images
,
&
the
holy
bread
is
without
characters
or
effigies
:
the
round
Host
is
adored
,
and
the
holy
bread
receiued
with
thanksgiuing
:
the
round
Host
is
deuoured
by
the
Priest
,
and
the
holy
bread
distributed
to
euery
one
of
the
Assembly
,
to
communicate
and
eate
thereof
:
the
round
Host
is
in
part
steeped
in
wine
,
and
the
holy
bread
is
eaten
dry
without
wine
.
To
conclude
,
there
is
so
great
a
difference
betweene
these
two
seuerall
Communions
,
as
there
is
betweene
the
law
of
the
ancient
Idolaters
,
and
the
Law
Euangelicall
:
but
that
they
iumpe
in
one
point
:
which
is
that
both
in
the
one
,
and
the
other
,
there
is
a
corruption
of
the
holy
sacrament
of
the
supper
ordained
by
God
.
CHAP.
XXI
.
The
inuention
of
Transubstantiation
,
with
confutation
of
that
labyrinth
of
Idolatry
.
WE
must
now
descend
to
the
very
bottome
of
this
Idolatrous
Labyrinth
:
The
wine
also
offred
in
their
Missall
Chalices
to
bee
transubstantiated
into
blood
,
the
wine
being
no
more
wine
,
but
an
accident
without
substance
.
Was
there
euer
a
more
abominable
magicke
,
This
Heresie
began
to
spread
very
much
of
a
Nicholaitan
Antichrist
climbing
vp
to
the
Romane
Pontificacie
,
by
the
monopoly
and
suggestions
of
Hildebrand
,
expelling
by
force
the
other
elected
Pope
,
which
was
Benedict
the
second
of
that
name
,
Afterwards
by
a
Monopoly
held
in
Saint
Iohn
Lateran
in
Rome
,
it
was
aduanced
during
the
ecclesiasticall
tyranny
of
Innocent
the
third
of
that
name
,
about
two
hundred
yeares
after
the
Palinodie
canonized
by
Berengarius
Deane
of
S.
Maurice
in
Angiers
.
Against
which
abominable
magick
and
heresie
we
must
briefly
by
forme
of
a
recapitulation
compare
the
institutions
of
the
Sacraments
ordained
by
God
.
First
of
all
,
the
fruits
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
ill
,
The
celestiall
Manna
,
The
vnspotted
Lambs
immolated
by
Abel
,
The
Fore-skinne
circumcised
for
a
note
and
marke
of
couenant
to
the
good
Patriarche
Abraham
and
his
posterity
,
The
blood
of
the
Paschall
Lamb
,
The
flesh
of
the
immaculate
Lambe
,
to
bee
eaten
on
the
day
of
the
Passeouer
,
a
true
figure
of
the
holy
Sacrament
of
the
supper
,
was
it
transubstantiated
into
an
accident
without
substance
?
The
brazen
Serpent
,
Victimes
offered
in
sacrifice
,
All
sacred
signes
ordained
by
God
in
the
Israelitish
Church
,
though
they
really
and
sacramently
represented
that
which
was
by
them
figured
,
and
not
as
a
simple
picture
without
reall
effect
,
yet
did
there
neuer
liue
so
detestable
an
heretique
,
which
inuented
or
added
thereunto
this
Magicke
of
transubstantiation
.
And
neuerthelesse
,
O
Missalians
,
you
must
needs
confesse
that
the
good
and
holy
Fathers
of
Israel
were
adopted
,
engrafted
,
and
regenerated
by
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
,
begotten
before
all
ages
:
that
they
were
nourished
,
and
purchased
eternall
life
by
Iesus
Christ
:
that
they
and
we
haue
but
one
God
,
and
one
onely
Iesus
Christ
,
one
Mediator
and
Redeeme●
:
That
by
faith
,
they
sacramentally
communicated
,
and
participated
spiritually
of
the
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
their
saluation
and
eternall
life
:
If
then
the
Israelites
eate
the
same
celestiall
bread
,
and
drunke
the
same
sauing
drinke
,
But
tell
me
O
Missalians
,
when
Iesus
Christ
made
it
knowne
how
himselfe
was
the
true
bread
of
life
descended
from
heauen
,
to
conferre
life
eternall
;
and
how
these
sacramentall
words
of
eating
his
flesh
,
and
drinking
his
blood
,
Another
interpretation
of
the
holy
Doctor
and
author
of
the
sacramentall
law
is
described
,
when
Iesus
Christ
was
interrogated
by
Nicodemus
,
of
the
meanes
how
a
man
might
be
regenerated
,
and
borne
anew
.
Is
it
possible
saith
Nicodemus
,
The
holy
Apostle
,
This
Magicke
was
by
you
restored
,
since
the
first
author
of
your
Missall
Sacrifice
Numa
Pompilius
:
who
by
his
magicke
diuulged
,
that
he
made
his
Nymph
and
Goddesse
Egeria
come
downe
from
heauen
,
as
also
his
Iupiter
Elicius
,
by
whose
meanes
there
were
celestiall
secrets
and
mysteries
reuealed
vnto
him
.
If
by
your
magicke
the
round
consecrated
host
,
was
transubstantiated
into
the
true
and
reall
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
To
confirme
your
Magick
of
transubstantiation
:
When
Victor
the
third
of
that
name
,
Now
it
remaines
for
vs
to
contest
with
the
subtill
reasons
of
the
Missalians
,
who
to
make
a
foundation
for
their
Magicke
,
insist
carnally
vpon
the
word
est
,
saying
,
that
these
words
were
expressely
written
:
This
is
my
body
,
this
is
my
blood
,
when
Iesus
Christ
instituted
the
holy
Sacrament
of
his
Body
and
of
his
Blood
▪
vnder
the
Symboles
of
bread
and
wine
.
But
I
desire
all
those
that
are
zealous
of
the
honour
of
God
,
exactly
to
weigh
the
sacred
Institution
of
this
Sacrament
,
by
which
God
meant
to
symbolize
and
signifie
the
communion
of
his
body
by
the
bread
,
and
the
drinking
of
his
bloud
by
the
Wine
and
Cup.
All
will
confesse
,
that
the
true
and
principall
nourishment
of
mans
body
,
is
comprehended
vnder
the
kinds
of
bread
and
wine
:
so
that
the
terme
of
bread
is
often
taken
in
the
holy
Scriptures
for
the
nourishment
and
life
of
Man
.
Let
vs
enter
into
an
examination
of
the
passages
of
the
Bible
.
When
Iacob
prayed
vnto
God
to
giue
him
bread
and
raiment
:
Is
this
Manna
called
the
bread
of
Heauen
,
When
Mel●hisedech
meant
to
furnish
good
Father
Abrahams
Armie
,
When
Abraham
was
to
gratifie
and
refresh
three
Angels
that
appeared
vnto
him
:
When
we
goe
about
to
describe
a
Famine
and
scarcitie
of
victuall
,
When
Satan
enterprized
to
tempt
Iesus
Christ
,
When
Iesus
Christ
celebrated
his
banquets
to
giue
bodily
nourishment
,
Contrariwise
the
tearme
of
bread
,
is
appropriated
to
the
bread
of
iniquitie
,
of
lyes
,
of
sorrow
,
to
polluted
bread
of
Idolaters
,
to
bread
of
coinquination
offered
vpon
the
Altar
;
And
therefore
,
O
you
Missalian
Capernaites
,
you
must
not
be
so
obdurate
,
and
inueterate
in
your
carnalities
,
Sometimes
also
bread
is
taken
for
the
Word
of
God
,
and
Doctrine
.
When
Iesus
Christ
commanded
his
Apostles
to
keepe
themselues
from
eating
leauened
bread
with
the
Pharises
:
Wherefore
if
bread
bee
taken
for
the
life
of
Man
,
which
depends
principally
of
Bread
and
of
Wine
,
and
that
Gods
goodnesse
,
accommodating
it selfe
to
our
infirmities
,
made
choise
of
these
two
signes
and
symboles
,
or
notable
markes
,
to
signifie
his
body
and
his
blood
;
that
is
to
say
,
the
bread
,
the
Wine
,
these
two
prouisions
being
common
to
all
Nations
,
was
this
any
reason
,
to
build
vpon
it
a
carnall
transubstantiation
,
as
if
God
without
it
were
not
mighty
enough
,
really
to
figure
,
and
represent
vnto
vs
sacramentally
,
that
life
was
giuen
vs
:
yea
,
life
eternall
,
by
the
communion
of
consecrated
bread
,
Iesus
Christ
produced
these
words
,
that
the
Bread
is
his
body
,
and
the
Wine
is
his
blood
:
he
also
said
,
that
himselfe
was
the
Bread
of
Life
,
the
liuing
bread
,
and
that
he
was
the
liuing
bread
come
down
from
Heauen
.
Furher
hee
sayes
,
that
hee
who
eates
of
that
bread
,
shall
liue
eternally
.
Doth
this
inferre
by
the
word
est
,
that
Iesus
Christ
is
conuerted
and
transubstantiated
into
bread
,
and
that
hee
is
no
more
Christ
,
but
an
accident
without
substance
.
O
abominable
heresies
!
haue
you
any
more
reason
,
O
you
Missalians
,
to
interpret
these
words
carnally
,
This
is
my
body
,
to
transubstantiate
the
bread
into
the
body
,
then
when
hee
testifies
,
that
himselfe
was
the
bread
,
to
transubstantiate
him
into
bread
,
considering
that
it
is
written
,
how
the
communion
of
this
bread
giues
eternall
life
?
Iesus
Christ
said
,
Hoc
est
corpus
meum
:
he
also
sayes
of
himselfe
,
Howsoeuer
,
wee
must
alwayes
haue
recourse
to
the
true
expression
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
absolute
Law-giuer
,
and
Author
of
this
holy
Sacrament
,
who
expounding
his
owne
Institution
,
saith
in
the
first
place
,
that
hee
is
the
Bread
of
Life
,
How
doth
hee
himselfe
expound
this
Manducation
?
Iesus
Christ
by
his
owne
words
expresseth
himselfe
:
Whosoeuer
comes
to
me
,
To
addresse
our selues
to
Iesus
Christ
,
our
celestiall
bread
,
our
spirituall
drinke
,
wherewith
to
bee
satisfied
for
euer
,
to
quench
our
thirst
of
sinne
perpetually
,
must
we
runne
to
the
Magicke
of
transubstantiation
,
and
forge
an
accident
without
substance
?
Wherefore
,
O
Missalians
,
doe
you
presume
to
inuent
any
other
interpretation
,
then
that
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
witnesseth
that
the
flesh
profits
nothing
;
but
the
Spirit
quickens
?
and
that
his
words
are
not
carnall
,
but
spirituall
,
giuing
spirit
and
life
,
by
faith
and
confidence
,
that
hee
is
the
Sauiour
of
the
world
,
incarnate
,
dead
,
and
crucified
,
to
purchase
for
vs
eternall
life
:
and
then
raised
vp
againe
,
he
ascended
into
heauen
,
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
his
Father
,
To
returne
to
this
terme
,
est
,
that
does
so
molest
the
Missalians
braines
,
that
they
dreame
out
of
it
a
transubstantiation
.
If
Iesus
Christ
vttered
how
he
was
the
true
Vine
,
If
Iesus
Christ
was
said
to
be
the
immaculate
Lambe
that
wipes
out
the
sinnes
of
the
world
;
When
Iesus
Christ
admonished
his
Apostles
,
If
the
holy
Apostle
writ
,
If
the
holy
Apostle
testifieth
,
I
readily
foresee
,
O
you
obdurate
Missalians
,
that
you
will
obiect
all
these
pre-alleadged
places
:
wherein
this
word
est
,
is
,
and
make
no
mention
of
the
Sacraments
,
which
must
the
more
exactly
bee
obserued
,
in
that
these
be
sacred
mysteries
ordained
of
God
:
which
is
most
true
.
And
this
word
est
,
is
not
onely
found
in
the
holy
Scriptures
formerly
cited
:
but
when
we
speake
of
holy
Sacraments
first
instituted
by
God
for
his
people
of
Israel
;
In
the
other
holy
Sacrament
of
the
Communion
of
the
Paschall
Lambe
;
If
then
the
sacred
Arke
is
called
the
Lord
,
and
nominated
God
,
because
in
it
he
exercised
his
omnipotent
power
,
and
declared
his
Oracles
and
mysteries
,
by
exteriour
signes
,
to
draw
the
Israelitish
people
to
bee
mindfull
of
God
,
and
to
feare
and
obey
him
:
If
Iesus
Christ
also
said
that
hee
was
bread
which
came
downe
from
Heauen
,
the
Bread
of
Life
;
and
that
the
Wine
was
his
bloud
:
that
the
Cup
is
the
New
Testament
,
by
the
externall
signes
of
Bread
and
Wine
,
to
giue
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
our
life
and
sauing
nutriment
depended
onely
on
Iesus
Christ
,
and
that
by
his
death
&
bloodshed
,
we
haue
assurance
of
eternall
life
;
euen
as
bread
and
Wine
serue
for
corporall
nourishment
,
and
that
he
meant
and
ordained
these
sacred
signes
,
to
bee
to
vs
for
Sacraments
,
to
approue
and
confirme
our
faith
:
Did
he
determin
we
should
hereby
Capernize
,
&
Nicodemize
,
to
enquire
,
or
make
doubt
of
Gods
power
how
it
is
possible
to
eate
the
body
,
or
drinke
the
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
:
how
we
can
possibly
be
regenerated
and
borne
anew
?
Seeing
the
promise
was
made
vnto
vs
by
the
Word
,
wherefore
,
haue
you
,
O
Missalians
,
conceiued
a
carnall
transubstantiation
,
distrusting
in
the
incomprehensible
power
of
God
?
May
it
not
suffice
you
simply
to
beleeue
,
that
the
body
and
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
was
really
and
sacramentally
offered
,
to
communicate
thereof
for
our
spirituall
nourishment
,
and
to
grant
vs
eternall
life
,
through
the
Bread
and
Wine
consecrated
,
with
giuing
of
thankes
;
the
bread
being
truely
his
bodie
,
and
the
Wine
his
Blood
,
which
we
must
worthily
receiue
by
faith
,
and
puritie
of
conscience
,
as
sacred
signes
and
markes
of
the
diuine
Character
,
without
searching
too
subtilly
after
the
meanes
,
other
then
the
plaine
interpretation
of
Iesus
Christ
,
that
the
flesh
profits
not
,
but
the
Spirit
quickens
,
and
that
his
words
are
spirit
and
life
?
Should
wee
doubt
whether
God
hath
power
,
by
the
symboles
of
Bread
and
Wine
consecrated
to
make
vs
communicate
of
the
bodie
and
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
though
the
bread
remaine
bread
,
and
the
wine
wine
?
If
it
were
otherwise
,
this
could
be
no
Sacrament
,
but
rather
called
a
Miracle
.
As
when
Iesus
Christ
conuerted
the
Water
into
Wine
,
hee
then
vsed
the
miracle
of
transubstantiation
,
Was
it
not
also
as
easie
for
God
to
change
the
Wine
into
blood
,
CHAP.
XXII
.
Comparison
betweene
the
two
holy
Sacraments
.
IF
wee
may
presume
to
make
comparison
of
the
two
holy
Sacraments
of
Baptisme
,
In
this
sense
the
holy
Apostle
testifieth
,
that
wee
were
all
baptized
by
the
vertue
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
Iupiter
Elicius
,
before
the
day
preordained
for
his
second
comming
?
I
may
well
propound
vnto
you
the
similitude
of
the
Sunne
,
You
may
now
therefore
vnderstand
,
carnall
&
grosse
Capernaites
,
For
other
more
familiar
and
domesticall
comparisons
,
consider
O
Missalians
,
how
earthly
and
mo●tall
Princes
are
reputed
,
reuerenced
and
honoured
by
such
sacred
signes
as
they
ordaine
;
I
will
onely
propound
vnto
you
two
,
which
is
to
say
,
waxe
and
mettals
:
of
one
the
Princes
seale
is
composed
,
with
which
grants
,
pardons
,
and
remissions
are
sealed
,
charters
,
and
priuiledges
by
the
Prince
conferred
.
He
that
falsifies
this
seale
is
he
not
punisht
as
in
case
of
high
treason
,
euen
as
if
hee
had
outraged
the
person
of
the
Prince
?
Does
not
this
seale
represent
his
owne
person
,
euen
as
if
himselfe
were
present
?
Neuerthelesse
the
seale
though
it
bee
called
the
seale
of
the
Prince
,
is
not
transubstantiated
,
but
still
remaines
waxe
:
but
otherwise
hauing
receiued
the
sacred
character
of
the
Prince
,
Also
the
mettals
of
gold
or
siluer
coyned
with
the
Princes
stampe
,
doe
serue
for
mony
,
although
they
are
no
more
called
gold
nor
siluer
;
but
hauing
once
exchanged
their
names
at
the
Princes
wil
,
they
are
either
crownes
,
Angels
or
Pistols
,
or
else
shillings
,
groats
or
penies
,
or
other
such
like
names
;
they
are
yet
notwithstanding
mettals
of
the
very
substance
as
they
were
before
,
there
is
but
that
difference
,
that
they
haue
the
Princes
impression
vpon
them
by
and
in
which
hee
is
represented
really
:
so
that
whosoeuer
clips
or
falsifies
that
money
,
is
sorely
punisht
by
death
as
a
fellon
and
a
Traitor
his
Prince
,
for
it
is
in
a
manner
as
bad
,
and
as
if
he
had
offended
and
conspired
against
the
Princes
owne
person
;
by
farre
greater
reason
the
bread
and
the
wine
consecrated
and
ordained
to
bee
Sacraments
of
the
pretious
body
and
blood
of
Christ
Iesus
,
represents
them
really
,
But
if
you
Massalians
or
Masse-Priests
,
Nicholaits
and
transubstantiators
,
be
not
sufficiently
satisfied
with
Iesus
Christ
&
his
Apostles
interpretations
,
as
likewise
with
those
similitudes
and
familiar
comparisons

so
the
bread
is
said
to
be
his
body
:
which
three
places
must
be
vnderstood

to
bee
sacred

,
then
when

saying
,
the
flesh
of
Christ
Iesus
is
to
be
vnderstood
carnally
,
when
it
is
spoken
of
the
shedding
his
blood
,
and
crucifying
of
his
body
for
our
saluation
;
but
spiritually
,
when
it
is
said
that
his
flesh
is
the
true
meat
for
vs
to
eate
.
For
another
proofe
,
I
will
alledge
that
learned
Prelate
Gelase
Bishop
of
Rome
,
the
which
disputing
against
the
Heretickes
Eutichines
and
Nestorians
,
doth
affirme
the
bread
&
wine
consecrated
and
made
Sacraments
are
neuerthelesse
in
substance
bread
and
wine
,
but
to
be
signes
of
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
Iesus
by
the
mystery
of
the
Sacrament
.
And
if
ye
desire
larger
testimonies
,
Saint
Ambrosius
vpon
the
Epistle
of
Saint
Paul
to
the
Corinthians
hath
explicated
and
made
manifest
,
that
the
eating
of
the
bread
and
the
drinking
of
the
wine
doth
signifie
the
flesh
and
the
blood
of
Christ
Iesus
offered
for
vs
.
Hoc
est
corpus
meum
,
not
vnderstood
spiritually
kils
the
soule
,
when
he
writes
to
eate
the
flesh
of
Christ
.
Wherefore
S.
Chrysostome
admonished
the
people
to
honour
that
holy
Sacrament
in
offring
himselfe
his
soule
to
God
,
for
the
which
Christ
Iesus
was
crucified
;
&
that
by
that
holy
Sacament
of
bread
&
wine
,
is
signified
to
vs
the
similitude
of
the
body
and
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
.
For
resolution
,
we
must
follow
and
be
ruled
,
according
to
the
instruction
and
interpretation
of
our
holy
Sauiour
Christ
Iesus
and
his
Apostles
,
Let
vs
then
be
assured
in
Christ
Iesus
as
members
of
his
body
that
we
may
be
reduced
and
brought
all
into
one
vnity
