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
move
and
incite
him
to
feare
and
obedience
,
as
also
to
make
him
partaker
of
his
blessings
,
he
gave
him
sme
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
approve
the
better
of
their
obedience
:
to
wit
,
trees
planted
in
the
middest
of
the
Orchard
,
&
earthly
Paradise
:
which
although
they
were
not
of
any
other
qualitie
then
the
other
plants
,
yet
notwithstanding
being
dedicated
&
consecrated
of
God
for
Sacraments
,
or
Sacred
Signes
,
their
qualitie
was
then
for
to
serve
as
Seales
for
the
Testimonie
and
approbation
of
his
divine
will
and
pleasure
,
which
was
effected
by
the
infinite
goodnesse
&
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
serve
for
an
assurance
,
pledge
,
and
hostage
of
the
Divine
Covenant
.
These
Trees
and
substantiall
Fruits
ordained
for
our
first
and
common
Father
,
were
committed
and
given
unto
him
to
keepe
,
without
wasting
either
,
or
eating
of
the
one
,
upon
paine
of
eternall
death
.
Wherefore
wee
must
in
faith
beleeve
,
that
they
were
not
vaine
Signes
and
Sacraments
,
or
as
a
meere
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
and
justice
of
the
deluge
was
appeased
,
After
this
,
with
the
faithfull
Patriarch
Abraham
,
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
preserve
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
:
as
the
signe
of
the
Cloud
,
Then
followed
the
signe
of
the
division
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
,
of
the
Rocke
gushing
out
with
cleere
water
in
Mount
Horeb
,
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
above-mentioned
,
Exedus
,
Leviticus
,
&
Numbers
.
Beasts
appointed
for
sacrifice
.
were
the
most
obedient
and
obsequious
beasts
;
as
the
Oxe
and
the
Calfe
,
the
Hee
,
and
Shee
Goat
:
and
so
likewise
amongst
Fowle
,
the
most
mild
and
gentle
;
as
the
Pidgeon
,
and
Turtle
.
Of
Sacrifices
againe
,
some
were
publike
,
and
others
private
or
particular
:
those
publike
were
either
quotidian
or
every
seventh
day
,
either
at
New
Moones
,
or
in
times
of
Fasting
:
but
they
were
chiefely
celebrated
at
three
festivall
times
of
the
yeere
which
were
:
-
First
,
the
dayes
of
unleavened
bread
,
-
Secondly
,
the
time
of
Harvest
,
and
the
first
Fruits
.
-
And
thirdly
,
at
the
Feast
of
Vines
,
and
Olives
,
towards
the
end
of
the
yeere
.
Some
of
the
Sacrifices
also
were
ordain'd
,
Ioseph

.
Sacrifice
for
health
.
that
is
to
say
,
the
Oxe
,
the
Lamb
,
or
Goat
of
a
yeere
old
.
In
the
sacrifice
for
Health
,
it
was
a
matter
indifferent
,
whether
the
oblation
were
Male
or
Female
:
but
of
the
victime
offered
,
three
parts
were
reserved
for
the
Priest
,
which
was
the
fat
,
the
two
Rumnions
,
and
the
Kidney
,
or
Fillet
of
the
Kidneys
.
There
was
another
difference
betweene
the
Sacrifice
for
Health
,
and
that
celebrated
for
sinne
:
for
in
the
one
,
they
were
injoyn'd
to
eate
up
all
the
oblation
in
two
dayes
;
and
in
the
other
for
sinne
,
the
Priest
was
commanded
to
eate
it
up
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
divers
,
both
in
respect
of
the
persons
,
and
of
the
oblations
.
For
he
that
offended
out
of
ignorance
,
his
expiation
was
celebrated
with
a
female
Sheepe
or
Goat
:
but
the
expiation
for
voluntary
and
wilfull
sinne
,
was
with
a
Male
sheepe
.
The
High
Priests
sinne
was
expiated
by
the
sacrifice
of
an
immolated
Calfe
:
that
of
the
Prince
with
an
Hee
Goat
,
or
Bull
:
that
of
a
Magistrate
,
with
an
Hee
Goat
;
and
the
sinne
of
a
particular
man
,
with
a
female
oblation
.
The
Sacrifice
for
expiation
of
offences
towards
God
,
was
with
a
Ramme
.
The
Sacrifice
of
a
man
polluted
,
was
also
with
a
female
Sheepe
or
Goat
:
&
for
a
womans
expiation
after
child-bed
,
was
a
Lambe
of
a
yeere
old
,
a
yong
Pidgeon
,
and
a
Turtle
.
For
the
clensing
of
the
Leprous
,
were
appointed
two
living
Fowles
,
pure
and
cleane
,
Cedar-wood
,
and
Hysop
,
two
whole
Lambes
,
and
a
female
sheepe
of
a
yeere
old
,
with
Meale
and
Oyle
.
Another
Sacrifice
was
celebrated
for
a
man
or
woman
polluted
,
by
shedding
his
Seed
,
or
her
menstruall
bloud
;
with
two
Turtles
,
and
two
yong
Pigeons
.
If
the
great
Oblations
failed
,
they
had
recourse
to
Doves
,
Pigeons
,
or
Turtles
,
or
for
Holocausts
:
others
,
maintenance
.
In
all
Sacrifices
there
was
pure
Flowre
,
without
Leaven
,
Notwithstanding
in
the
Sacrifice
constituted
for
the
Purification
of
a
woman
suspected
of
Adulterie
,
there
was
neither
Incense
,
nor
Oyle
,
as
in
other
Sacrifices
;
but
it
was
offered
with
water
,
mingled
with
the
dust
,
or
ashes
,
gathered
up
from
the
floore
of
the
Temple
.
There
was
also
another
Sacrifice
,
celebrated
for
those
that
had
made
some
great
Vow
,
called
Nazareans
,
when
the
time
of
their
Devotion
was
expired
,
wherein
they
were
appointed
to
offer
three
Victimes
,
a
Lambe
of
a
yeere
old
,
a
Sheepe
,
and
a
Ramme
:
the
one
,
that
is
,
the
Lambe
,
to
serve
for
a
Holocaust
:
the
other
,
of
a
female
Sheepe
,
for
Salvation
,
and
the
third
oblation
for
Health
.
Furthermore
,
his
haires
that
made
the
oblation
,
were
to
be
cast
into
the
fire
,
to
be
burned
together
with
the
Holocaust
.
I
was
willing
particularly
to
discourse
of
the
diversitie
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
Aegypt
an
Idolatries
,
wherein
they
had
beene
nourished
and
bred
,
for
about
foure
hundred
yeeres
,
under
the
tyranny
of
the
Pharaohs
.
There
was
another
signe
&
Sacrament
instituted
of
God
,
Another
sacred
signe
there
was
,
The
Fire
;
for
the
burnt-offering
was
ordained
to
be
of
Cedar-wood
,
At
the
entry
of
the
Tabernacle
,
or
Temple
,
there
was
a
kinde
of
Laver
like
a
Font
of
Brasse
,
forged
at
first
of
seeing
Glasses
,
of
the
Israelitish
Women
.
In
this
Laver
or
Holy-water
Font
,
was
put
this
Water
of
Purification
,
wherewith
the
Priests
besprinkled
themselves
,
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
heavenly
Manna
,
which
hee
gave
them
bountifully
for
their
sustentation
,
they
were
punished
with
the
stingings
of
venemous
Serpents
.
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
oblivion
and
disobedience
against
God
his
Creator
,
This
holy
signe
which
our
first
Parents
so
alienated
&
abused
,
was
the
originall
of
other
Vices
and
corruptions
hereafter
described
,
whereinto
men
are
falne
,
having
a
rellish
of
the
corrupt
masse
in
Adam
.
Omitting
the
particular
corruptions
of
signes
,
sacrifices
,
Aaron
.
Exod.
32.
Deut.
9.
&
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
government
and
charge
of
the
people
.
When
Moses
remained
in
Mount
Sinai
,
to
receive
the
Commandements
from
God
,
his
brother
Aaron
the
High
Priest
caused
a
golden
Calfe
to
be
framed
,
of
the
earings
delivered
unto
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
,
&
a
corrupting
of
their
true
use
,
procuring
the
same
to
be
ado●'d
,
which
before
was
it selfe
offered
,
and
immolated
,
according
as
the
custome
was
?
His
sonnes

Nadab
,
and
Abihu
,
were
they
not
consum'd
with
fire
,
because
they
adulterated
the
true
use
of
sacrifices
,
and
tooke
unconsecrated
wood
,
by
corrupting
the
instituted
Law
?
The
people
of
Israel
ingratefull
for
the
benefit
received
,
in
being
delivered
from
Pharaohs
captivitie
;
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
Jericho
,
which
were
vowed
&
consecrated
for
sacrifices
to
God
?

man

curious

Conductor
of
the

,
did
not
he
corrupt
the
Law
of
sacrifices
,
when
he
offered
up
his
owne
daughter
,
excusing
himselfe
by
a
Vow
he
made
,
which
was
not
so
enjoyned
him
by
God
?
The
sacred
signe
ordain'd
for
the
High
Priest
,
&
Sacrificer
,
in
celebrating
of
sacrifice
,
How
long
was
this
externall
signe
of
the
Ephod
abused
,
Were
not
these
wonderfull
abuses
,
and
detestable
corruptions
practised
by
the
sacrificers
and
High
Priests
,
under
the
pretext
and
colour
of
sacrifice
?
What
grosser
corruption
can
be
mentioned
,
then
that
of
the
children
of
Eli
the
High
Priest
,
nam'd
Ophni
,
and
Phinees
;
who
,
This
sacred
signe
was
so
precious

estimable

though
it
had
been
practised
since
Moses
time
,
notwithstanding
the
idole
of
Moloch
,
in
the
valley
of
Ennon
,
was
not
demolished
till
the
reigne
of
good
King
Iosias
,
more
then
nine
hundred
yeeres
after
Moses
.
Neverthelesse
,
this
abuse
hath
been
continued
by
the
Arabians
and
Africans
,
even
to
this
present
day
;
for
the
Alcaronists
and
Mahumetans
are
of
this
beliefe
,
that
the
soules
of
the
dead
shall
passe
through
fire
,
to
bee
purged
&
purified
of
their
offences
.
By
this
briefe
collection
wee
may
cleerely
discerne
,
how
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
man
hath
fallen
by
his
owne
defect
into
this
gulph
of
the
error
and
corruption
of
sacred
signes
,
sacrifices
,
and
Sacraments
instituted
for
him
,
by
God
.
But
the
most
capitall
abuses
,
from
whence
the
originall
of
all
Idolatry
derives
,
have
proceeded
from
this
,
in
that
carnall
and
fleshly
men
have
bin
alwayes
more
addicted
to
visible
signes
,
and
externall
ceremonies
,
then
to
things
signified
and
intimated
in

Corruptions

.
AFter
that
the
inscrutable
Wisedome
of
God
knew
the
obstinacie
and
infidelity
of
the
Israelitish
people
,
which
persevered
still
in
committing
Idolatrie
,
by
corrupting
the
sacred
signes
,
sacraments
,
&
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
,
Sydomans
,
and
other
envious
people
,
and
enemies
:
This
rude
and
ingratefull
people
continued
still
in
their
Idolatry
,
instructed
by
their
Priests
,
sacrificers
,
Princes
,
&
Kings
,
without
returning
to
the
true
adoration
of
one
onely
God
:
For
this
cause
,
after
great
mercies
shewed
,
and
long
expectation
of
a
Iust
and
rigorous
Iudge
,
who
by
all
courses
of
correction
was
desirous
to
reduce
his
people
by
divine
particular
inflictions
;
which
was
,
by
excited
wars
,
by
captivities
,
&
servitudes
,
by
divisions
of
the
Kingdom
,
distributed
between
Roboam
and
Ieroboam
,
successours
to
Salomon
.
who
fell
to
extreme
Idolatry
,
by
intestine
and
civill
warres
,
growing
betweene
the
same
people
,
divided
in
themselves
,
and
by
other
usuall
scourges
,
to
chastize
those
whom
God
meant
to
favour
,
for
the
reducing
of
them
under
his
feare
and
obedience
.
At
last
,
this
people
beeing
too
much
obdurate
,
and
inveterated
in
their
Idolatries
,
were
brought
into
miserable
servitude
under
the
Tyranny
of
the
unbeleeving
Assyrians
,
But
some
pretty
while
after
,
when
the
same
people
by
the
speciall
mercy
of
God
,
were
delivered
out
of
the
hands
of
these
infidell
Tyrants
,
restored
to
their
liberty
,
and
Countrey
of
promise
,
they
againe
fell
from
God
more
then
before
,
under
the
government
of
their
sacrificers
&
high
Priests
,
which
confounded
the
Spirituall
and
Temporall
together
,
so
farre
as
to
invest
themselves
with
the
Royall
Scepter
,
and
Diadem
.
Then
came
in
the
Heresies
of
the
Pharisees
,
the
Sadducees
,
For
the
Babylonians
worshipped
Succobenoth
for
their
god
The
Cutheans
of
Persia
had
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
,
avaricious
,
tyrants
&
Idolatrous
.
The
people
made
tributary
to
the
Tyrants
of
Rome
,
the
Countrey
of
Iudea
reduced
to
a
Province
,
When
the
Royall

was
alienated
from

of

ingrafted

to
be
made

The
like
reasons
may
be

for
the

holy

instituted

God
in

is
that
of

desiring
to
draw
all

had

AS
the

being

grosse

relyed
too
much
on
externall
signes
,
having
corrupted
the
true
use
of

appointed

them
by
God
;
so
such
like
abuses

Of
the
Corruption
of
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
.
WEe
may
evidently
discerne
by
this
succinct
discourse
,
how
weake
and
mutable
man
is
,
ever
abusing
&
aliemating
the
graces
of
God
.
For
as
the
people
of
Israel
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
Law
and
Institution
to
them
recommended
,
corrupted
the
true
use
of
sacrifices
,
sacred
signes
,
and
Sacraments
ordained
of
God
,
so
hath
it
falne
out
to
the
Law
of
God
by
Iesus
Christ
,
having
consituted
a
forme
of
communicating
his
Body
and
Bloud
,
under
the
symboles
and
sacred
signes
of
Bread
and
Wine
:
which
holy
Sacrament
began
to
bee
alienated
,
Wherefore
,
let
no
man
hereafter
thinke
it
strange
,
if
the
Apostles
successors
have
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
living
,
from
the
time
of
the
Apostles
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
more
easily
they
fell
into
corruptions
;
yea
,
such
as
were
most
abominable
;
having
converted
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
Passeover
,
Some
of
his
sect
ordained
,
that
this
holy
Sacrament
should
bee
solemnized
the
fourteenth
daye
of
Moneth
,
as
the
Iewes
did
.
Policrates
,
Philip
Hiropolitan
,
Policarpus
,
Truscas
,
Melitus
,
&
Narcissus
Bishop
of
Ierusalem
;
Victor
Bishop
of
Rome
,
Eleutherius
his
predecessor
,
&
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
Passeover
after
the
Aequinoctiall
season
,
when
the
sunne
entred
into
the
signe
of
Aries
:
and
others
observed
the
Moneth
Xanthicke
,
called
by
the
Romanes
,
Aprill
.
Some
affirmed
for
example
the
Quartodecumans
,
how
they
were
informed
by
S.
Iohn
,
to
celebrate
it
in
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
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
observed
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
Moneth
;
and
that
they
ought
herein
to
bee
governed
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
upon
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
Festivity
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
,
many
Councels
were
assembled
;
After
these
petty
corruptions
,
there
succeeded
greater
from
time
to
time
,
according
to
the
humours
and
affections
of
the
Bishops
of
Rome
.
Platina

Alexander
,
1.
of
that
name
,
being
raised
to
the
superintendencie
of
the
Romane
Church
;
one
of
the
first
successors
to
the
Apostles
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
one
of
the
first
corruptors
also
of
the
holy
Sacrament
of
the
Supper
;
invented
the
mingling
of
water
with
Wine
,
before
the
Communion
:
wherein
,
hee
went
about
to
reforme
the
holy
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
instituted
the
Communion
of
his
Body
and
Bloud
,
under
the
two
kindes
of
Bread
and
Wine
;
but
Alexander
added
thereunto
a
third
kind
,
which
was
water
.
Hee
also
renewed
the
Iewish
ceremony
of
unleavened
bread
,
wherewith
to
celebrate
the
Passeover
,
as
the
Iewes
did
,
following
herein
the
opinion
of
the
Ebionites
,
who
taught
,
that
the
Ceremoniall
Law
of
Moses
was
necessary
for
falvation
:
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
derive
the
originall
thereof
from
Numa
Pompilius
,
that
great
Magician
,
and
Romane
Idolater
.
With
this
comparison
,
Iustine
Martyr
relates
the
custome
observed
amongst
Idolaters
,
&
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
,
persevered
not
without
contradiction
:
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
Blond
,
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
converted
into
blood
:
but
as
for
the
water
,
it
was
transubstantiated
into
the
water
that
came
out
of
Christs
side
.
This
first
corruption
of
Alexanders
,
gave
occasion
of
many
other
succeeding
abuses
:
For
some
other
more
profound
Impostors
devised
to
mingle
with
the
wine
,
bloud
,
that
was
taken
from
yong
Infants
,
wherewith
to
besmeare
the
bread
of
the
holy
Supper
of
Iesus
Christ
as
the
Cataphtigians
,
Some
others
added
cheese
thereunto
,
For
another
detestable
corruption
of
this
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
under
the
sacred
signe
of
Bread
,
and
not
of
Wine
;
which
they
reserved
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
,
&
drinke
of
his
blood
?
When
he
tooke
the
Cup
,
did
he
not
use
these
proper
words
?
Drinke
all
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
Bloud
,
under
the
signe
of
Wine
?

For
if
wee
compare
the
sacred
signe
,
ordained
by
God
in
the
Church
of
the
Israelites
,
being
a
Figure
of
the
Communion
of
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
was
the
true
Paschal
Lambe
,
whose
flesh
was
ordained
to
bee
eaten
without
exception
of
persons
,
so
they
were
circumcised
:
was
there
ever
any
difference
in
the
eating
of
the
Paschall
Lambe
,
and
the
celebration
of
the
Passcover
among
the
Iewes
;
betweene
the
Levites
being
of
the
race
of
sacrificing
Priests
,
&
others
of
the
common
people
?
To
bring
in
another
odious
corruption
,
the
Messalians
instituted
in
their
Missal-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
Eternall
Sacrifizer
and
Priest
,
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
us
by
Iesus
Christ
,
the
Eternall
sacrifice
,
and
sacrificer
;
who
reserved
onely
for
himselfe
this
Eternall
Priesthood
;
yet
neverthelesse
,
hee
left
unto
us
a
sacred
Institution
of
a
banquet
,
set
before
us
in
the
Bread
&
Wine
,
which
represent
his
Body
and
Bloud
.
After
these
above-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
subvert
the
kingdome
of
Iesus
Christ
,
when
hee
undertooke
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
inveterated
in
their
ancient
Idolatries
,
shall
by
the
trueth
of
Histories
acknowledge
their
errours
,
and
abominable
Heresies
.
CHAP.

.
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
seven
hundred
yeeres
before
the
Incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
.
In
the
Colledge
of
Priests
,
Pontifex
Maximus
,
who
was
chosen
by
the
other
inferiour
Priests
,
of
their
Order
and
dignitie
;
even
as
the
pettie
Priest
purple-Cardinals
make
the
election
of
their
great
Romane
Pope
,
out
of
their
place
,
order
,
and
dignitie
.
This
Pompilian
Relig
on
was
so
religiously
observed
by
the
Romanes
from
father
to
sonne
,
as
it
was
never
possible
to
irradicate
,
or
supplant
it
:
but
it
continues
even
to
this
day
,
as
every
one
shall
manifestly
discerne
by
this
succinct
Narration
.
To
confirme
this
point
,
no
man
can
be
ignorant
,
if
ever
he
read
the
Romane
Histories
;
but
that
,
before
the
Incarnation
of
Christ
,
there
was
not
so
much
as
one
King
,
Confull
,
Dictator
,
or
Romane
Emperour
,
instructed
in
the
Law
of
God
,
but
all
were
Idolaters
and
Infidels
,
observing
the
Religion
of
that
Magician
,
Numa
Pompvius
.
For
since
the
Incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
the
space
of
three
hundred
yeeres
,
or
thereabouts
,
there
was
not
likewise
any
Emperour

over

for

after
the

of
Iesus

;
and
in
their
Coynes
,
Sepulchres
,
Monuments
,
Titles
,
&
Letters
Patents
,
they
retained
the
stile
of
great
Pontifes
,
&
high
Priests
:
as
is
most
diligently
collected
in
a
booke
of
the
Antiquities
of
Rome
,
wherein
are
specified
the
Medails
,
Coynes
,
and
Monuments
of
the
ancient
Romane
Emperours
,

beeing
therefore
in
this
manner
Emperours
,
and
Romane
Pontifes
,
they
never
would
permit
any
other
head
above
themselves
,
in
the
Church
and
religion
of
Rome
,
which
in
all
ages
was
an
enemie
to
Iesus
Christ
.
For
when
the
Apostles
preached
Christ
to
bee
the
high
and
Soveraigne
Priest
,
the
Eternall
and
Great
sacrificer
,
without
successour
,
after
the
order
of
Melchizedee
,
the
Romane
Tyrants
tooke
occasion
,
or
at
least
their
Lieutenants
,
to
condemne
Iesus
Christ
,
for
feare
of
impayring
the
authority
of
the
Caesars
high
Romane
Pontifes
.
With
what
fury
for
the
space
of
three
hundred
yeeres
,
Anno
Dom.
410.
were
they
excited
against
Christians
,
&
the
Religion
of
Iesus
Christ
,
to
maintaine
their
ancient
Pompilian
Religion
?
What
answere
was
given
to
the
Emperour
Theodosius
,
by
the
Senate
&
Senators
of
Rome
,
when
they
were
mooved
to
change
their
Religion
,
and
imbrace
that
of
Iesus
Christ
?
They
shewed
how
they
had
bin
in
possession
of
their
Pompilian
Religion
for
more
then
a
thousand
yeeres
,
and
that
the
alteration
of
Religion
,
was
the
ruine
of
Common-wealths
.
For
these
reasons
persisting
in
their
old
Romane
Religion
,
they
forbare
to
receive
the
Law
of
Iesus
Christ
.
CHAP.

How
the
Bishops
of
Rome
began
their
Corruptions
.
BY
these
Histories
we
may
easily
resolve
,
that
during
foure
hundred
yeeres
and
more
,
Anno
Dom.
93.
the
Bishops
of
Rome
,
who
tearmed
themselves
Christians
,
could
never
draw
the
Senate
nor
Senators
of
Rome
,
to
entertaine
the
holy
Gospel
.
As
also
they
could
hardly
convert
the
Romane
Idolaters
from
their
old
and
inveterate
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
;
to
invent
Table
clothes
,
Vailes
,
Rome
.
Higinus
Bishop
of
Rome
,
in
the
yeere
140.
Fabian
Bishop
of
Rome
,
in
the
yeare
240.
to
make
it
purgatory
,
and
exorciz'd
for
the
repelling
of
devils
.
Othersome
in
like
manner
tooke
great
paines
to
ordaine
Ephods
of
fine
linuen
,
wherin
to
wrap
the
sacred
Host
:
also
to
constitute
Aubes
,
and
other
vestiments
for
the
Priests
in
their
sacrifices
,
of
white
,
and
no
died
colours
.
Some
had
their
braines
troubled
to
devise
Feasts
of
dedication
,
and
Consecration
with
Exorcismes
,
to
drive
away
devils
with
salt
:
and
othersome
to
invent
Oyles
and
Vnctions
,
wherewith
to
corrupt
the
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
.
Then
afterward
during
the
time
of
these
tyrant
Emperours
,
&
great
Pontifes
,
the
Bishops
of
Rome
,
desiring
to
perpetuate
their
names
,
they
wore
out
their
braines
in
building
of
Temples
,
not
to
the
honour
of
God
,
but
to
the
names
of
men
,
Zephc
●in
:
Bishop
of
Rome
,
in
the
yeare
200
and
women
,
Saints
by
them
cannonized
,
at
their
owne
pleasure
.
Others
were
occupted
in
ordaining
and
decreeing
,
that
the
consecrated
Bread
or
Wine
falling
to
the
ground
,
should
be
licked
up
by
the
Priests
,
and
the
rest
remaining
to
be
burnd
in
the
fire
:
and
the
ashes
to
be
reserved
in
a
Reliquarie
.
Some
looke
out
for
Chalices
,
that
they
should
be
of
Glasse
,
Others
instituted
solemne
ceremonies
for
the
foure
severall
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
to
bring
Christians
by
this
meanes
under
the
servitude
or
distinction
of
dayes
.
Others
were
studiously
employed
in
ordaining
the
oblation
,
Others
were
occupied
in
devising
confirmation
for
little
Infants
,
&
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
,
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
so
muche
to
corrupt
the
use
of
the
holy
Sacraments
,
to
restore
the
Iewish
ceremonies
,
&
the
Idolatries
of
the
ancient
Heathen
Romanes
?
They
may
here
object
one
Philip
,
which
some
vaunt
,
was
converted
to
holy
Baptism
,
whose
depraved
manners
gave
occasion
to
the
most
authentick
Historiographers
,
Cronic
.
of
Iohn
Bapeista
Ignatius
.
to
esteeme
him
unworthy
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
the
East
,
&
yet
he
would
never
embrace
the
character
of
Baptisme
,
to
be
regenerate
by
the
blood
of
Christ
,
till
he
was
threescore
&
five
yeares
old
,
Now
we
must
come
to
the
subsequent
times

After
the
decease
of

,
the
Romane
Westerne
Empire
began
so
much
to
decline
,
that
in
a
short
space
,
it
was
cleane
extirpated
by
the
Vandales
and
Alands
,
who
were
the
first
that
sacked
Rome
,
in
part
burned
it
,
and
carryed
away

daughter

married

succeeded

ordained
to

committed
by

,
who
had

of

ranne
astray
from
the
true
adoration
and
worship
of
God
,
violated
and
corrupted
the
holy
Sacraments
by
their

inventions

fictions
:
in
like
manner
to
punish
the
obstinacie
,
and
infidelity
of
the
Emperours
and
Senators
of
Rome
,
who
first
by
their
Officers
,
and

,
had
caused
Iesus
Christ
,

his
holy

to
bee

:
daily
persecuted
the
Christians
,
and
ever
opposed
the
Law
Euangelicall
,
to
maintaine
their
Pompilian
Religion
.
We
may
therefore
resolve
,
and
conclude
,
that
for
the
space
of
foure
hundred
yeares
,
the
Romane
Church
of
Emperours
and
Senators
were
alwaies
opposites
and
enemics
to
the
Law
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Afterwards
when
the
Westerne
Empire
was
extinguished
for
three
hundred
yeares
or
thereabouts
,
that
Rome
,
&
all
Italie
was
rulde
and
governed
by
Kings
,
Princes
and
Dukes
,
that
were
Infidels
,
and
Idolaters
,
which

,
by

by

,

,
for
the
space
of
seaven
hundred
yeares
or
thereabouts
after
the
Incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
there
was
no
Emperours
,
Kings
nor
Princes
at
Rome
,
that
would
embrace
the

of
Iesus
Christ
.

I
thought
requisite

before

of

of

that

:
how
the
Romane
Empire
was
govern'd
till
the
declination
of

,
which
was
about
the

of
Christ

yeares
:
as
also
the

have
beene
rais'd

which
still
enjoy
it

have
done

CHAP.

.
Of
the
Masse
in
particular
,
with
her
true
Originall
.
FOr
beginning
to
this
our
briefe
Missall
Treatise
,
Numa
Pompilius
,
never
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
have
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
received
from
the
auncient
idolatrous
Greekes
,
to
mumble
secretly
the
principall
words
of
their
Masses
,
that
the
Auditors
might
not
heare
them
:
but
they
used
to
murmur
&
whisper
betwixt
the
teeth
,
the
Canons
,
&
some
speciall
words
,
which
neither
themselves
,
nor
they
that
looke
on
understand
.
Neverthelesse
,
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
,
&
Messives
,
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
.
I
licet
Missa

:
depart
,

,
as
if

so
the
Assembly
was

But
in
time
,
because
this
note
signified
a
pleasing
release
of
the
people
,
to
goe
home
to
their
houses
,
being
a
chearefull
,
and
acceptable
sound
,
it
was
supprest
,
and
the
Sacrifice
honoured
with
this
terme
of
Missa
.
To
confirme
this
point
,
two
thousand
yeares
being
now
come
and
gone
,
these
words
are
pronounced
at
this
present
day
.
Ite
,
Missa
est
,
which
signifies
a
leave
given
to
the
company
or
assembly
,
to
depart
:
so
as
they
themselves
,
which
frequent
these
Temples
,
so
soone
as
they
heare
this
pleasing
note
,

they

that

being

Furthermore
,
they
so
highly
esteeme
this
name
of

,
as
we
doe
the
name
and
title
of
Christians
.
Intimating
by
this
word
Messelman
,
as
much
as
saved
.
Moreover
,
the
Mahumetists
honoured
their
Priests
with
the
name
of
Messe
,
calling
them
Messen
,
and
their
Temples
Messites
,
or
Meschites
:

write
with
speciall
reverence
,
in
respect
of
the
ancient
Pompilian
Religion
and
the
Alcoran
,
Institutions
of
Mahumet
.
After
we
have
thus
decided
the
word
of
Messe
,
or
of
in
the
Romane
tongue
,
to
be
derived
from
the
auncient
Romane
Idolate●s
,
&
not
from
the
Hebrewes
nor
the
Greekes
:
we
must
now
discend
to
the
vestments
of
these
Missal
an
Sacrificers
.
But
by
the
way
,
we
must
not
omit
the
name
of
Pontife
,

of
Comment.
or
Pontifex
,
taking
also
it
's
originall
from

we
dēclared

.
The
stile
also
of
Pope
proceeding
from
the
ancient
Idolaters
,
who
used
to
enstile
their
God
Iupiter
,
calling
him
Pope
Iupiter
,
but
especially
the
B●thinians
and
Scithians
.
Which
word
Papa
,
comes
from
the
Greeke
word
Papus
:
which
is
to
say
,
great
Father
.
As
also
the
true
title
subscribed
to
any
sutes
presented
to
the
great
Romane
Pontife
,
is
:
Most
blessed
Father
.
The
next
purple
Pontifes
are
termed
,
most
reverend
Fathers
,
and
petty
Bishops
,
reverend
Fathers
:
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
,
instituted
by
Numa
more
then
700.
yeares
before
the
Incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
.
T
is
true
,
that
since
,
there
have
beene
many
Iewish
ornamens
added
,
as
the
Stole
,
Ephod
,
Zone
,
or
Conture
,
the
Myter
or
Theare
,
and
some
other
decorations
,
the
better
to
pownce
,
&
set
forth
the
great
Bab●
〈◊〉
whore
.
But
the
M●●●lians
desirous
to
alter
the
originall
of
their
Missall
vestments
,
pretend
that
the
Aube
is
a
figure
of
Iesus
Christs
conversation
in
the
flesh
,
or
the
purity
of
his
body
incarnate
in
the
wombe
of
the
virgine
.
Others
interprete
the
white
colour
,
to
signifie
chastity
and
continencie
.
Some
minding
to
mocke
,
and
make
Playes
sophistically
of
the
Passion
of
Iesus
Christ
,
say
,
that
by
the
Aube
,
the
white
Robe
is
represented
,
which
was
offered
by
Herod
to
Christ
,
when
he
was
sent
back
againe
,
like
a
foole
to
Pylat
.
Philo
the
Iew
,
a
more
worthy
Philosopher
,
in
his
Treatise
of
Dreames
,
subtilly
deviseth
,
that
the
Aube
signifies
the
solidity
of
the
most
resplendent
light
of
the
Dyetie
,
which
he
calls
Ens.
The
linnen
also
whereof
the
Aube
is
made
,
they
expresse
for
the
subtilty
of
the
Scriptures
.
As
for
the
Amict
invented
by
Aeneas
,
they
adulterate
it
,
for
the
Vayle
wherewith
Christ
was
covered
,
when
the
Iewes
mocking
him
in
Caiphas
house
,
did
smite
him
.
Titilman
one
of
the
subtilest
Missalians
,
deviseth
,
that
in
the
Amict
,
Christs
Devinity
,
concealed
in
his
humanity
,
was
intimated
.
Some
likewise
confesse
that
the
Amict
was
subrogated
in
stead
of
the
Iewish
Ephod
,
by
the
Zone
,
Maniple
,
and

,
which
are

He
also
further
sophisticates

the
humane
infirmity
of
Christ
,
which
being
tyed
with

that

of
the
fierie
Nature
,
or
of
Fire
,
very
proper
to
purifie
.
For
this
reason
,
the
Ancient
Romane
Idolaters
,
besprinckled
this
salt
exorcised
water
,
as
a
Mercuriall
expiatorie
&
Purgatory
water
for
popular
offences
,
especially
for
perjurie
and
lying
.
To
preserve
this
consecrated
,
and
exorciz'd
salt
Water
,
they
had
two
sorts
of
Holy
water
Fonts
:
One
was
large
not
moveable
,
but
placed
at
the
entrie
of
their
Temples
,
where
they
adored
their
Images
,
that
so
they
might
sprinckle
those
which
entred
into
the
same
Temples
.
The
other
was
a
portable
Font
,
to
conveigh
therein
Lustrall
water
into
any
part
of
their
Temples
or
houses
,
that
they
might
be
watered
with
it
,
for
their
expiations
,
and
purifications
.
They
that
were
to
celebrate
Masse
,
if
it
were
to
the
inferiour
gods
,
it
was
enough
for
the
sacrificing
Priest
to
sprinckle
himselfe
with
that
Lustrall
water
.
But
if
the
Priest
celebrated
Masse
,
to
the
superiour
gods
,
hee
must
bathe
his
whole
body
,
and
wash
all
his
members
therewith
.
Furthermore
,
he
was
prohibited
,
not
to
use
this
Lustrall
water
for
any
other
purpose
,
but
for
expiations
,
&
purgations
.

Alexander
the

of

,
next
successor
to
the
Apostles
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
one
of
the
first
corrupters
of
the
holy
Sacraments
ordained
by
God
,
continued
this
Idolatrie
,
of
consecrating
&
exercising
Lustrall
water
with
salt
,
to
repell
devils
.
Neverthelesse
,
the
better
to
maske
Pompilian
Magicke
,
he
framed
this
comparison
:
so
it
is
,
said
Alexander
,
that
the
ashes
of
an
inviolated
red
Cow
for
sacrifice
,
mingled
with
Fountaine
water
,
purified
the
people
of
the
Iewes
,
and
therefore
by
a
more
prevalent
reason
,
water
exorzed
with
salt
,
must
needs
purifie
Christians
,
and
drive
away
devils
.
Was
not
this
a
violating
,
and
corrupting
of
the
holy
Law
of
God
,
to
content
and
please
the
Romaines
,
tainted
with
the
auncient
religion
of
Numa
Pompilius
the
Magician
?
If
Alexander
had
not
yeelded
to
the
use
of
salt
,
instituted
by
the
auncient
Idolaters
for
lustrall
water
,
he
would
rather
have
followed
the
Iewish
ceremonie
,
and
ordained
Ashes
to
consecrate
the
water
of
expiation
.
For
if
he
thought
to
disguise
it
by
the
Miracle
of
Elizeus
,
that
purified
the
water
with
salt
,
Moyses
also
did
the
like
,
with
the
wood
which
was
brought
him
,
when
the
people
of
Israel
were
distressed
for
sweet
water
to
drinke
.
But
in
these
miracles
no
mention
is
made
,
that
Elizeus
or
Moses
instituted
any
lustrall
water
to
purifie
the
people
of
the
Iewes
.
And
we
cannot
finde
,
that
there
was
ever
any
lustrall
water
amongst
the
Iewish
ceremonies
,
but
only
with
Ashes
of
the
victime
offered
for
sacrifice
.
And
therefore
Alexander
&
his
followers
must
needs
acknowledge
,
that
the
invention
of
salt
water
exorcized
for
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
tooke
originall
from
Numa
Pompilius
more
then

This

by

for

to

which
is
attributed
to
Agapet
the
Romane
Pope
:
But
this
was
Instituted
above
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
gods
,
to
obtaine
peace
,
or
to
pray
unto
God
for
the
fruits
of
the
earth
;
the
order
was
in
this
manner
:
First
before
the
Procession
walkt
certaine
young
children
,
then
the
sacrificing
Priests
clad
in
white
Surplesses
,
singing
Hymnes
,
Paeans
,
&
Canticles
to
the
honour
of
their
gods
.
Then
marched
the
high
Priest
,
or
Curio
:
Then
marched
the
Romane
Senators
,
with
their
wives
and
children
:
and
sometimes
the
common
people
assisted
.
There
was
commonly
carried
about
in
Procession
,
the
Shrine
or
Reliquarie
of
god
Jupiter
,
or
of
Anubis
,
by
some
Priests
clad
in
white
Surpleses
,
with
shaven
heads
,
and
thereon
wearing
crownes
.
This
Crowne
was
of
such
reverence
&
esteeme
,
that
the
Emperour
himselfe
Commodus
Antonius
high
Pontifex
,
caused
his
head
to
be
shaven
and
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
serve
for
stations
or
places
,
where
the
Priests
,
which
caried
the
relicks
were
apointed
to
rest
and
take
breath
.
When
the
Procession
was
ended
,
the
Temples
were
opened
,
the
Altars
and
Images
perfumed
with
Insence
,
and
the
Reliquies
of
their
gods
shewed
.
On
those
dayes
,
when
the
Procession
went
abroad
,
a
Feast
was
celebrated
,
the
shops
were
closde
up
,
the
Hall
of
Iustice
shut
in
,
and
the
prisonners
unshackled
:
who
can
better
discipher
the
order
of
Processions
observed
even
at
this
day
,
by
the
Missalians
Instructed
from
father
to
sonne
in
the
Pompilian
Religion
.
What
other
Author
can
be
alleadged
touching
the
Ceremonies
performed
in
Procession
,
except
Numa
Pompilius
himselfe
?
If
the
Missalians
sought
not
out
further
,
for
their
crowned
shaven
crownes
,
and
white
Surplesses
which
the
ancient
Aegiptian
Idolaters
were
wont
to
vse
:
the
Priests
of
the
Goddesse
Isis
,
or
the
Babilonian
sacrificers
,
wearing
their
heads
&
beards
shaven
.
As
for
the
Law
of
God
,
the
contrary
therein
was
observed
,
and
the
sacrificing
Priests
were
forbidden
,
to
cut
their
heads
or
haire
round
,
&
to
shave
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
have
added
the
carrying
of
the
Crosse
or
Banner
:
this
Banner
was
tearmed
by
the
ancient
Romane
Idolaters
Labarum
:
which
was
reputed
a
sacred
ensigne
,
so
much
revered
by
the
Dictators
&
Emperours
,
as
also
by
the
souldiers
that
went
to
the
wars
.
Antenor

pictured
in
that
Banner
a
Sow
,
by
reason
of
the
name
Troja
,
which
in
the
vulgar
Italian
tongue
signifies
a
Sow
:
which
ensigne
Antenor
vowed
and
dedicated
in
the

of

also
ordained

.
Porphirius
the
Heretick
did
not

continue
this
Pompilean
Magick
,
but
further
he
constituted
,
that
the
entry
into
the
Temple
,

the
Images
should
be
turned
towards
the
East
,
to
the
end
that
those
which
went
into

prostituting
themselves
before
the

,
might
adore
&
make
their
prayers
towards
the
cast
:
even
as
the
Persians
did
,
who
worshipped
the
Sunne
in
the
East
.
Are
not
these
Missalian
&
Pompilian
Institutions
contrary
to
the
auncient
ceremoniall
Law
of
the
Iewes
,
wherein
they
were
prohibited
to
pray
towards
the
East
,
that
so
they
might
be
different
from
the
ancient
Idolaters
?

For
this
reason
,
Durand
a
subtill
Missalian
,
writes
,
that
the
Missall
Mummery
must
begin
at
the
right

of
the

,
&
conclude
in
the
same
:
neverthelesse

all
the
principall
Monkeries
are
celebrated
on
the

of

.
As
for
the

Taper
,
they
apply
them
to
Christ
,
as
being
the
fire
which
purifies
the
rust
of
our
sinnes
:
Or
otherwise
,
the
fire
of
charity
environing
all
Christian
people
:
and
the

Taper
portends
the
light
of

,
&
the

not

never

if

For
as

celebrated
their

the

also
persever
to
celebrate

interpret
the

Furthermore

for

,
the

must
not
passe
the

,
by

The
Sophister
Biel
in
his
Alcoran
of
the
interpretation

the
Masse
,
addes
,
That
the
number
of
the
Collects

notwithstanding

this

and
musicall

,
the
ancient
Romane
Idolaters
were
wont
to
use
in
their
sacrifices
,
the
perfume
of
Incense
which
they
preserved
in
a
little
vessell
called
Acerra
.
In
this
little
Thurall
Coffer
lay
the
Odors
which
the
Priest
tooke
to
incense
the
Altars
,
Images
,
Hoste
or
Victime
,
especially
in
Masses
celebrated
to
god
Ianus
,
and
to
the
goddesse
Vesta
,
who
rejoyced
in
the
Wine
and
Incense
offered
to
them
.
For
in
the
Trojans
time
,
in
stead
of
incense
they
used
Cedar
or
Pomecytron
wood
for
perfume
.
Wherefore
it
was
not
Leo
the
Romane
Pontifex
that
first
instituted
the
use
of
incense
,
and
to
smoake
incense
at
the
Missall
Sacrifice
:
for
more
then
seven
hundred
yeares
before
the
Incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
ancient
Romane
Idolaters
practised
mcense
in
their
sacrifices
.
As
also
the
Romanes
retained
the
Latine
word
which
signifies
Incense
,
Thus
,
from
the
old
Greeke
word
θνω
,
that
is
to
say
,
I
sacrifice
:
because
the
Idolatets
in
all
their
sacrifices
used
incense
,
as
likewise
they
had
a
portable
Incenser
,
wherewith
to
incense
:
Although
some
have
written
,
that
the
ancient
Romane
Idolaters
celebrated
sacrifices
to
the
goddesse
Ceres
,
and
used
the
gumme
of
the
Pinetree
called
Tede
,
instead
of
incense
:
In
Titelmans
Alcoran
,
the
incense
is
interpreted
for
the
prayer
of
the
Masse-priest
,
that
it
may
mount
up
into
heaven
with
the
odour
of
swavity
:
even
as
the
fume
of
incense
steames
up
on
high
.
He
sophisticates
also
with
Biel
his
companion
,
averring
that
the
Jncense
signified
the
grace
of
the
holy
Spirit
.
These
subtill
Alcoranists
alledge
the
passage
of
Tobia
,
who
drave
away
the
Devill
by
the
perfume
of
a
burnt
Liver
.
The
same
Biel
makes
another
interpretation
of
the
incense
,
as
that
it
figures
the
unction
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
,
the
Offertory
of
the
first-fruits
comes
in
,
Plin.

which
were
offered
to
the
honour
of
the
gods
,
in
whose
name
the
sacrifice
was
solemnized
.
This
offering
belonged
to
the
Masse-priest
,
and
he
might
freely
cary
it
home
unto
his
house
,
for
the
nourishment
of
himselfe
,
and
his
family
.
Notwithstanding
there
were
other
offerings
distributed
to
such
as
were
indigent
.
Afterwards
through
the
Missalians
avarice
,
this
use
was
converted
into
an
offertory
,
or
offering
of
gold
or
silver
to
line
the
purse
,
which
some
attribute
to
Leo
the
Romane
Pontifex
;
though
this
offertory
had
beene
practised
more
then
a
thousand
yeares
before
his
time
.
Dispensation

He
caused
a
fundamentall
allowance
to
be
raised
out
of
the
publike
revennues
for
the
maintenance
and
entertainment
of
religious
vestals
.
After
his
example
,
many
particular
men
did
the
like
,
so
as
their
benefices
grew
rich
by
these
foundations
or
annuities
:
&
these
benefices
were
of
two
kinds
;
one
at
the
presentation
and
inauguration
of
a
Prince
,
of
the
Common-wealth
,
or
of
the
C●lledge
of
Pontifes
:
the
other
were
,
at
the
presentation
of
some
particulars
,
patrons
of
the
same
benefices
by
them
founded
,
and
endued
with
great
richesse
.
Over
which
benefices
the
high
Romane
Pontifes
had
usurped
a
power
to
give
dispensation
for
the
holding
of
two
together
,
as
in
Titus
Livius
it
is
related
of
Fabius
Maximus
,
who
by
a
dispensation
held
two
benefices
when
he
was
created
Pontifex
,
more
then
two
hundred
yeares
before
the
incarnation
of
Iesus
Christ
.
This
was
therefore
the
first
revennue
of
Missalian
sacrificers
,
to
have
benefices

Their
second
revenue
or
emolument
,
grew
by
offertories
,
offerings
or
oblations
.
The
third
revennue
consisted
of
annuall
meanes
and
contributions
,
as
the
first
yeares
fruits
,
which
the
idolatrous
Romane
Pontifes
were
wont
to
take
,
for
the
vacancy
of
benefices
in
their
gift
,
or
that
they
sold
,
and
dispensed
with
.
The
fourth
revennue
grew
from
obsequies
,
anniversaries
,
legacies
,
and
donatives
conferred
,
to
pray
to
their
gods
for
the
soules
of
the
deceased
.
All
which
is
verified
likewise
at
this
day
,
by
the
monuments
and
sepulchres
of
the
ancient
idolaters
.
The
fift
revennue
came
in
by
amercements
,
condemnations
,
and
confiscations
,
which
were
adjudged
by
the
Romane
Pontifes
:
As
Ciceroes
house
&
palace
when
he
was
banished
,
were
confiscated
to
the
Colledge
pontificall
:
and
specially
alloted
for
sacrifices
to
be
celebrated
in
the
Temple
consecrated
to
the
goddesse
Liberty
.
I
was
desirous
by
the
way
,
briefly
to
recite
the
revennues
and
supportations
of
the
ancient
Romane
sacrificers
,
to
the
end
that
men
might
more
and
more
discerne
that
all
abuses
and
idolatries
succeeding
in
the
Church
of
Iesus
Christ
,
are
not
new
;
but
originally
derived
or
revived
from
the
ancient
Romane
idolaters
,
as
the
foundation
of
Masses
,
Obits
,
Anniversaries
,
Dispensations
for
holding
sundry
benefices
,
pensions
,
vacancies
,
first-fruits
,
offerings
,
and
the
Missalian
treasure
,
all
amercements
,
and
confiscations
adjudged
within
the
demeans
of
the
Romane
Pontife
,
with
other
ordinances
revived
by
new
Romane
Popes
,
which
have
discended
from
one
to
another
.
To
this
purpose
wee
reade
in
the
Romane
Stories
,
that
during
the
reigne
of
the
Emperour
Valentinian
the
second
of
this
name
,
there
hapned
a
dangerous
sedition
at
Rome
,
betweene
the
Christian
&
idolatrous
Priests
,
which
strove
who
should
amasse
or
heape
up
together
most
wealth
in
the
Church
by
grants
,
testamentary
legacies
,
oblations
and
other
inventions
:
so
as
the
Heathen
and
Infidell
idolaters
,
who
retained
yet
a
Temple
to
themselves
,
called
at
this
day
the
Church
of
Saint
Peter
ad
Vincula
,
fought
with
the
Christians
at
Rome
,
who
would
have
dedicated
it
to
their
devotion
.
After
the
Offertory
,
Titelmans
Alcoran
sets
downe
how
the
Masse
Priest
should
bee
silent
for
a
time
,
to
figure
the
flight
of
Christ
,
or
his
disciples
feare
to
confesse
him
before
the
Iewes
.
Then
this
being
performed
,
the
Priest
sings
aloud
,
per
omnia
secula
seculorum
:
because
after
Christ
had
hidden
himselfe
,
he
publikely
came
forth
in
Lazarus
house
:
Then
hee
sings
Sanctus
,
sanctus
,
sanctus
;
to
allude
to
the
Iewes
song
,
when
Christ
entred
unto
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
mure
mummerie
,
by
the
making
of
many
reiterated
croysadoes
,
as
shall
hereafter
be
mentioned
.

,
with
the
Consecration
of
the
same
.
NExt
to
the
Offertory
,
Plut.
in
Numa
.
we
must
come
to
the
ninth
part
of
the
Masse
,
the
most
rich
and
most
pleasing
for
the
Missalians
.
This
is
the
Host
or
victime
,
which
comprehends
the
end
of
all
this
Missall
Sacrifice
.
In
the
dayes
of
Numa
the
Magician
,
the
Romanes
were
not
yet
accustomed
to
kill
,
and
immolate
with
the
blood
of
beasts
:
Mola
,
and
from
thence
came
this
word
immolare
.
There
were
divers
hosts
,
that
is
to
say
;
little
round
loaves
dedicated
to
divers
gods
,
as
there
were
likewise
sundry
Missall
Sacrifices
.
With
the
said
round
hosts
they
also
offered
Wine
:
the
Altars
serving
for
Tables
.
While
the
Priests
and
the
assistants
in
the
sacrifice
,
eate
&
communicated
together
of
the
said
little
round
loaves
consecrated
to
the
honor
of
their
gods
,
hymnes
and
thanksgivings
were
sung
,
and
some
used
the
sound
of
the
Organs
and
Cymbals
.
Before
the
swallowing
of
this
round
host
,
printed
with
imagery
,
the
Missalian
Doctors
ordained
the
Priest
,
to
utter
certaine
exorcismes
,
and
conjurations
,
with
many
signes
of
the
crosse
.
First
,
hee
must
make
three
crosses
upon
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
delivered
his
Master
into
the
hands
of
the
Iewes
.
Besides
the
above
mentioned
three
Croisadoes
,
five
other
follow
:
to
intimate
the
five
dayes
space
from
the
day
of
Palmes
,
to
the
day
of
the
Passion
,
or
otherwise
to
represent
the
five
wounds
of
Christ
;
two
in
the
hands
,
two
in
the
feet
,
and
one
in
the
right
side
.
Of
which
five
Croysadoes
,
the
three
first
must
be
made
over
the
Chalice
,
and
the
round
host
;
to
figure
the
delivery
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
crossings
are
made
distinctly
;
on
which
is
the
fourth
over
the
host
,
&
the
other
over
the
Chalice
,
distinctly
to
manifest
unto
us
the
two
persons
,
of
Christ
&
Iudas
:
when
this
is
done
,
the
Masse-Priest
continuing
in
his
fooleries
&
monckeries
,
stretcheth
out
his
armes
,
to
delineate
Christ
spred
upon
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
over
the
host
,
another
over
the
Chalice
,
and
third
over
himselfe
:
to
play
herein
the
part
of
three
estates
or
conditions
of
those
that
are
in
Heaven
,
in
Purgatory
,
and
in
the
earth
.
Then
he
thumps
upon
his
brest
,
to
play
the
penitent
theefe
that
was
hanged
upon
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
reserved
to
consecrate
and
transubstantiate
the
round
host
.
Moreover
,
he
must
beat
his
breast
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
over
the
covered
Chalice
,
to
commemorate
the
three
houres
that
Christ
hung
alive
upon
the
Crosse
;
and
three
other
crosses
are
made
over
the
open
Chalice
,
and
the
round
host
,
being
once
more
elevated
,
to
decypher
the
three
houres
,
that
Christ
hung
dead
upon
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
above
mentioned
mute
mummeries
,
the
Priest
must
lift
the
vaile
over
the
Chalice
,
and
release
it
from
Plataine
,
to
represent
the
rent
vaile
in
the
midst
,
at
Christs
death
.
This
being
done
,
the
round
host
is
laid
upon
the
Chalice
,
and
couched
in
the
corporall
,
to
figure
the
burial
of
Christ
.
When
the
Masse
Priest
hath
plaid
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
petitions
in
the
Pater
Noster
,
expresseth
the
seven
teares
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
the
seven
vertues
;
or
the
seven
mortall
sinnes
.
When
this
song
is
ended
,
the
Priest
remaines
silent
for
a
while
,
to
represent
the
silence
&
repose
of
Christ
in
the
grave
.
Another
apery
or
Monckery
is
plaid
by
the
Masse
Priest
,
with
the
round
host
,
which
hee
laies
upon
the
Pix
to
decypher
the
union
of
his
divinity
,
with
his
humanity
:
but
when
he
plaies
the
secret
mystery
,
the
host
is
hidden
out
of
sight

to

the
Assembly

dismist
,
to

Are
not
these
all
the
parts
of
the
Missal
sacrifice
,
most
of
which
were
ordained
by
Numa
the
Magician
,
above
seven
hundred
yeares
before

Will
you
now
at
last
acknowledge
,
O
Missalians
,
that
you
borrowed
all
these
parts
and
members
in
your
Masses
from
the
Pompilian
Religion
?
Why
retaine
you
the
name
of
Masse
,
which
Iesus
Christ
called
a
Supper
,
or
the
Communion
of
his
body
?
Why
have
you
made
choice
of
the
peculiar
vestments
of
an
Aube
,
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
invented
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
&
Philosophy
,
Tullus
Hostilius
,
successor
to
Numa
,
to
the
end
to
perpetuate
his
name
by
some
new
addition
to
the
sacrifice
of
the
Masse
,
instituted
the
singing
nine
times
,
these
Greeke
words
Kyrie
eleyson
.
Gregory
held
this
ninth
number
in
great
reverence
,
In
stead
of
which
Alleluia
is
sung
another
song
called
a
tract
,
with
a
loud
voice
,
and
a
portracted
note
,
in
a
grave
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
Magicke
enough
in
the
Missalians

adding
these
Grecke
and
Hebrew
words
?
and
foisting
in
Pithagoricall

instituting
a

of

to
sing
the
Hebrew
words
,
on

them

and
to

a

of
Christs
Ascension
.
Jnnocent
with
a
kissing
of
the
Pix
by
the
Priest
.
Which
Pix
of
gold
signifies
the
Divinity
of
Christ
,
by
the
doctrine
of
the
Alcoran
:
the
Gloria
in
excelsis
by
Symmachus
,
which
must
be
sung
with
a
low
&
mild
voice
,
&
it
represents
as
Titlemans
Alcoran
relates
,
the
weak
and
infantine
voice
of
Christ
while
he
was
yet
in
the
cradle
.
O
blaspemous
and
detestable
mummeries
of
the
Sonne
of
God!
Leo
the
second
instituted
the
kissing
of
the
Pix
,
Alcoran
sayes
doth
signifie
the
union
of
Christians
,
and
that
the
kissing
of
the
Pix
was
subrogated
in
stead
of
the
holy
Communion
observed
in
the
first
and
next
primative
Church
to
the
Apostles
.
This
kisse-Pix
is
sung
by
the
Masse-Priest
in
saying
;
and
making
three
crosses
upon
the
Chalice
,
when
the
third
part
of
the
Host
,
is
put
into
the
Wine
,
to
intimate
the
Incarnation
of
Christ
,
or
to
signifie
the
triple
peace
,
of
the
time
,
of
the
Spirit
,
and
of
future
eternity
.
Furthermore
,
there
is
added
the
forging
of
the
Missall
Canon
to
Alexander
,
Gelasius
,
Syricius
,
Leo
,
&
Pelagius
.
These
be
peeces
patcht

,
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
lewes
;
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
receives
no
benediction
from
the
Masse-Priest
,
as
the
Deacon
doth
:
because
,
say
the
Missalian
Doctors
,
God
sent
his
Prophets
invisibly
:
But
the
Deacon
representing
the
Euangelicall
Law
receives
benediction
,
as
being
sent
among
wolves
,
in
that
Christ
sent
his
Apostles
visibly
like
men
.
The
Deacon
is
enjoyned
to
weare
a
crost
Stole
hanging
downe
his
shoulders
crosse
the
reines
of
the
backe
,
to
figure
force
and
continencie
joyned
together
in
the
Masse-Priest
.
The
Deacon
playing
his
part
,
and
singing
some
abstracted
passage
of
the
Gospell
,
in
a
language
not
understood
either
by
himselfe
,
or
the
assistants
,
must
wheele
about
toward
the
North
,
standing
upright
:
because
saith
Titleman
,
the
Northerne
parts
are
cold
&
obnoxious
:
for
this
reason
he
must
make
a
crosse
,
to
repell
Northerne
Devills
.
Are
not
these
more
blaspemous
juglings

incantations

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
invention
a
Romane
Antichrist
,
reighing
in
the
yeare
of
Christs
incarnation
1226.
which
Numa
the
Magician
never
practised
before
,
neither
grow
to
this
abominable
idolatry
:
what
more
detestable
heresie
can
be
laid
open
,
then
to
paint
the
Majestie
of
God
in
the
forme
of
humane
similitude
as
the
Anthropomorphites
did
?
And
the
Missalians
have
not
only
made
choice
of
the
round
forme
in
then
consecrated
hosts
,
printed
with
Images
,
to
make
them
be
adoted
after
the
manner
of
the
ancient
Romans
:
but
moreover
they
have
exceeded
all
other
Idolaters
.
For
in
the
dayes
of
Numa
and
his
fuccessors
,
those
that
were
present
at
the
Missail
sacrifice
,
eate
standing
together
the
said
little
round
consecrated
hosts
,
they
using
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
&
juggle
,
as
to
procure
your
Missal
sacrifice
(
wherein
the
Priest
alone
devoures
the
little
round
printed
Host
with
Images
,
giving
no
share
of
it
to
others
)
to
be
taken
and
received
as
a
communion
,
causing
them
that
are
present
at
your
Masse
by
an
admirable
Magicke
to
beleeve
that
they
have
communicated
together
with
the
Priest
,
though
they
neither
eate
,
nor
receive
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
divided
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
living
in
the
world
.
But
Durands
Alcoransets
downe
,
that
the
three
broken
portions
of
the
Host
,
represents
the
triple
forme
of
Christs
body
,
sleeping
in
the
grave
,
lying
on
the
earth
,
and
afterwards
raised
up
from
the
dead
.
Biel
another
subtil
Doctor
,
not
to
confesse
the
body
of
Christ
to
be
broken
or
bruised
in
the
round
host
,
deviseth
the
fraction
of
the
Host
to
be
made
of
an
accident
without
substance
.
Are
not
these
abhominable
Heresies
,
to
make
souies
that
are
in
Paradise
,
or
Purgatory
communicate
:
instituted
by
Sergius
a
Mahumetan
Doctor
,
by
the
meanes
of
a
round
Host
devoured
by
the
Masse-Priest
?
But
peradventure
(
Missalians
)
you
may
object
unto
me
,
the
use
of
the
Primative
Church
observed
in
the
Communion
of
the
holy
Supper
,
where
every
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
leven
:
the
round
Host
is
without
salt
,
and
the
holy
bread
seasoned
:
the
round
Host
is
printed
with
Images
,
and
the
holy
bread
is
without
characters
or
effigies
:
the
round
Host
is
adored
,
and
the
holy
bread
received
with
thanksgiving
:
the
round
Host
is
devoured
by
the
Priest
,
and
the
holy
bread
distributed
to
every
one
of
the
Assembly
,
to
communicate
&
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
severall
Communions
,
as
there
is
betweene
the
law
of
the
ancient
Idolaters
,
&
the
Law
Euangelicall
:
but
that
they
jumpe
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
invention
of
Transubstantiation
,
with
confutation
of
that
labyrinth
of
Jaolatry
.
WE
must
now
descend
to
the
very
bottome
of
this
Idolatrous
Labyrinth
:
The
wine
also
offered
in
their
Missall
Chalices
to
bee
transubstantiated
into
blood
,
the
wine
being
no
more
wine
,
but
an
accident
without
substance
.
This
Heresie
began
to
spread
very
much
of
a
Nicholai●an
Antichrist
climbing
up
to
the
Romane
Pontificacie
,
by
the
monopoly
&
suggestions
of
Hildebrand
,
expelling
by
force
the
other
elected
Pope
,
Afterwards
by
a
Monopoly
held
in
Saint
Iohn
Lateran
in
Rome
,
it
was
advanced
during
the
ecclesiasticall
tyranny
of
Innocent
the
third
of
that
name
,
about
two
hundred
years
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
celestiall
Manna
,
The
unspotted
Lambs
immolated
by
Abel
,
The
Fore-skinne
circumcised
for
a
note
&
marke
of
covenant
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
Passeover
,
having
reference
to
the
holy
Sacrament
of
the
supper
,
was
it
transubstantiated
into
an
accident
wi●hout
substance
?
The
brazen
Serpent
,
which
being
only
beheld
,
Victi●nes
offered
in
sacrifice
,
both
of
beasts
of
the
earth
,
All
sacred
signes
ordained
by
God
in
the
Israelitish
Church
,
though
they
sacramently
represented
that
which
was
by
them
figured
,
and
not
as
a
simple
picture
without
reall
effect
,
yet
did
there
never
live
so
detestable
an
heretique
,
which
invented
or
added
thereunto
this
Magicke
of
transubstantiation
.
And
neverthelesse
,
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
,
&
purchased
eternall
life
by
Iesus
Christ
:
that
they
and
we
have
but
one
God
,
&
one
onely
Iesus
Christ
,
one
Mediator
and
Redeemer
:
That
by
faith
,
they
sacramentally
communicated
,
and
participated
spiritually
of
the
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
their
salvation
and
eternall
life
:

1.
Cor.
10.
August
.
in
Psal.
and
wee
in
the
new
law
celebrate
the
memoriall
and
remembrance
of
the
sacrifice
now
finished
by
Iesus
Christ
,
having
a
fruition
of
the
promise
accomplished
.
If
then
the
Israelites
eate
the
same
celest
all
bread
,
&
drunke
the
same
saving
drinke
,
which
we
doe
by
faith
in
one
onely
Iesus
Christ
:
If
they
had
sacred
signes
to
represent
actually
and
really
the
future
death
of
Iesus
Christ
,
even
as
we
retaine
sacred
signes
of
his
present
,
or
past
death
:
they
for
the
future
,
&
we
for
that
which
is
past
;
why
did
the
Missalians
invent
this
new
magicke
,
to
convert
an
holy
Sacrament
ordained
by
God
,
into
a
magicke
of
transubstantiation
,
and
into
an
accident
without
substance
?
But
tell
me
O
Missalians
,
when
Iesus
Christ
made
it
known
how
himselfe
was
the
true
bread
of
life
descended
from
heaven
,
to
conferre
life
eternall
;
&
how
these
sacramentall
words
of
eating
his
flesh
,
and
drinking
his
blood
,
were
to
be
understood
,
wherewith
the
Capernaits
your
Predecessors
were
scandalized
;
Another
interpretation
of
the
holy
Doctor
and
author
of
the
sacramentall
law
is
described
,
The
holy
Apostle
,
This
Magicke
was
by
you
restored
,
since
the
first
author
of
your
Missall
Sacrifice
Numa
Pompilius
:
9.
Corruption
of
the
holy
Sacrament
.
who
by
his
magicke
divulged
,
that
he
made
his
Nymph
and
Goddesse
Egeria
come
downe
fro
heaven
,
as
also
his
Jupiter
Elicius
,
by
whose
meanes
there
were
celestiall
secrets
and
mysteries
revealed
unto
him
.
If
by
your
magicke
the
round
consecrated
host
,
was
transubstantiated
into
the
true
&
reall
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
bread
being
no
more
bread
,
but
the
true
body
,
how
came
you
to
be
so
presumptuous
,
to
breake
and
teare
in
peeces
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
according
to
the
invention
of
Sergius
the
second
of
that
name
your
predecessor
Romane
Pontife
?
Are
not
you
farre
more
execrable
executioners
then
your
predecessors
,
Lieutenants
of
the
Romane
Church
,
which
crucified
Iesus
Christ
,
&
yet
they
never
tare
,
nor
rent
his
body
in
peeces
,
as
he
prophesied
?
And
notwithstanding
you
are
not
contented
to
have
broken
it
into
three
peeces
,
but
in
your
Missall
sacrifices
you
presume
to
drowne
&
steepe
one
portion
in
wine
,
transubstantiated
into
blood
,
to
be
swallowed
,
and
drunke
.
To
confirme
your
Magick
of
transubstantiation
:
why
tooke
you
no
order
to
preserve
from
corruption
your
little
round
printed
Hosts
,
which
you
keepe
and
lay
up
so
curiously
in
reliquaries
and
boxes
,
after
they
are
transubstantiated
into
flesh
,
&
bone
,
and
into
the
reall
bodie
of
Iesus
Christ
?
When
Victor
the
third
of
that
name
,
Pope
of
Rome
,
Now
it
remanes
for
us
to
contest
with
the
subtill
reasons
of
the
Missalians
,
who
to
make
a
foundation
for
their
Magicke
,
insist
carnally
upon
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
&
of
his
Blood
,
under
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
under
the
kinds
of
bread
&
wine
:
so
that
the
terme
of
bread
is
often
taken
in
the
holy
Scriptures
for
the
nourishment
and
life
of
Man
.
Let
us
enter
into
an
examination
of
the
passages
of
the
Bible
.
When
Iacob
prayed
unto
God
to
give
him
bread
&
raiment
:
Is
this
Manna
called
the
bread
of
Heaven
,
When
Melchisedech
meant
to
furnish
good
Father
Abrahams
Armie
,
did
hee
not
present
him
with
Bread
and
Wine
?
When
Ahraham
was
to
gratifie
and
refresh
three
Angels
that
appeared
unto
him
:
When
we
goe
about
to
discribe
a
Famine
and
scarcitie
of
victuall
,
do
we
not
say
there
wants
bread
?
When
Satan
enterprized
to
tempt
Iesus
Christ
,
When
Iesus
Christ
celebrated
his
banquets
to
give
bodily
nou●i●hment
,
once
to
five
thousand
men
,
and
then
againe
to
foure
thousand
persons
:
Did
hee
not
shew
his
power
under
the
Symbole
of
bread
?
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
upon
the
Altar
;
And
therefore
,
O
you
missalian
Capernaites
,
you
must
not
be
so
obdurate
,
and
inveterate
in
your
carnalities
,
as
not
to
observe
the
phrases
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
Sometimes
also
bread
is
taken
for
the
Word
of
God
,
and
Doctrine
.
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
provisions
being
common
to
all
Nations
,
was
this
any
reason
,
to
build
upon
it
a
carnall
transubstantiation
,
as
if
God
without
it
were
not
mighty
enough
,
really
to
figure
,
and
represent
unto
us
sacramentally
,
that
life
was
given
us
:
Yea
,
life
eternall
,
by
the
communion
of
consecrated
Bread
,
and
Wine
of
benediction
;
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
living
Bread
,
&
that
hee
was
the
living
Bread
come
down
from
Heaven
.
Further
hee
sayes
:
That
hee
who
eates
of
that
bread
,
shall
live
eternally
.
Doth
this
inferre
by
the
word
Est
,
that
Iesus
Christ
is
converted
and
transubstantiated
into
bread
,
and
that
hee
is
no
more
Christ
,
but
an
accident
without
substance
.
O
abominable
heresies
!
have
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
gives
eternall
life
?
Iesus
Christ
said
:
Hoc
est
Corpus
meum
,
hee
also
sayes
of
himself
.
Hic
est
Panis
qui
de
Coelo
descendit
:
in
both
these
places
,
is
not
this
word
est
used
?
And
yet
must
we
needs
hereupon
inferre
a
transubstantiation
,
in
stead
of
orthodoxally
interpreting
the
same
by
a
Metonimy
and
familiar
comparison
of
bread
to
Iesus
Christ
,
that
we
might
apprehend
,
how
eternall
life
was
given
us
by
him
,
and
likewise
by
him
our
spirituall
food
is
ministred
,
even
as
by
bread
,
a
nourishment
corporall
?
Howsoever
,
wee
must
alwayes
have
recourse
to
the
true
expression
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
absolute
Law-giver
,
and
Author
of
this
holy
Sacrament
,
who
expounding
his
owne
institution
,
saith
in
the
first
place
,
that
hee
is
the
Bread
of
Life
,
then
afterwards
hee
sayes
,
that
this
bread
is
his
flesh
&
his
body
,
How
doth
hee
himselfe
expound
this
Manducation
?
Iesus
Christ
by
his
owne
words
expresseth
himselfe
:
Whosoever
comes
to
me
,
shall
never
hunger
;
and
hee
that
beleves
in
me
,
To
addresse
our selves
to
Iesus
Christ
,
our
celestiall
bread
,
our
spirituall
drinke
,
wherewith
to
bee
satisfied
for
ever
,
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
invent
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
,
giving
spirit
and
life
,
by
faith
and
confidence
,
that
hee
is
the
Saviour
of
the
world
,
incarnate
,
dead
,
and
crucified
,
to
purchase
for
us
eternall
life
:
To
returne
to
this
terme
,
est
,
that
does
so
molest
the
Missalians
braines
,
that
they
dreame
out
of
it
a
transubstantiation
.
If
Iesus
Christ
uttered
how
hee
was
the
true
Vine
,
If
Iesus
Christ
was
said
to
be
the
immaculate
Lambe
that
wipes
out
the
sinnes
of
the
word
;
If
Iesus
Christ
said
,
that
hee
was
the
doore
of
the
sheepefold
,
by
whom
wee
must
enter
to
be
saved
:
And
that
hee
is
the
good
Pastor
,
and
wee
his
sheepe
;
Must
wee
needs
so
straine
&
wrest
these
places
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
as
to
thinke
it
necessary
,
because
the
word
est
is
mentioned
,
to
beleeve
a
transubstantiation
?
When
Iesus
Christ
admonished
his
Apostles
,
Lots
Wife
?
If
Iesus
Christ
said
by
his
Apostles
,
that
we
are
the
Temples
of
God
,
If
the
holy
Apostle
writt
,
If
the
holy
Apostle
testifieth
,
I
readily
foresee
,
O
you
obdurate
Missalians
,
that
you
will
object
all
these
pre-alleadged
places
:
wherein
this
word
est
,
is
,
&
make
no
mention
of
the
Sacrament
,
which
must
the
more
exactly
bee
observed
,
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
wee
speak
of
holy
Sacraments
first
instituted
by
God
for
his
people
of
Israel
;
it
is
written
,
In
the
other
holy
Sacrament
of
the
Communion
of
the
Paschall
Lambe
;
was
it
said
that
the
Lambe
was
the
Passeover
,
Will
you
not
confesse
,
O
Missalian
transubstantiators
,
that
in
these
passages
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
speaking
of
holy
Sacrament
,
that
this
word
est
,
can
not
bee
otherwise
interpreted
,
then
to
signifie
some
reall
performance
:
If
then
the
sacred
Arke
is
called
the
Lord
,
and
nominated
God
,
because
in
it
hee
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
Heaven
,
the
bread
of
life
:
&
the
wine
was
his
blood
:
that
the
Cup
is
the
New
Testament
,
by
the
externall
signes
of
bread
&
wine
,
to
give
us
to
understand
,
that
our
life
and
saving
nutriment
depended
onely
on
Iesus
Christ
,
and
that
by
his
death
and
bloodshed
,
we
have
assurance
of
eternall
life
,
even
as
Bread
and
Wine
serve
for
corporall
nourishment
,
and
that
he
meant
and
ordained
these
sacred
signes
,
to
bee
to
us
for
Sacraments
,
to
approve
and
confirme
our
faith
:
Did
he
determin
we
should
hereby
Capernice
,
and
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
unto
us
by
the
word
,
wherefore
have
you
,
O
Missalians
,
conceived
a
carnall
taansubstantion
,
destrusting
in
the
incomprehensible
power
of
God
?
May
it
not
suffice
you
simply
to
beleeve
,
that
the
body
&
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
was
really
and
sacramentally
offered
,
to
communicate
thereof
for
our
spirituall
nourishment
,
and
to
grant
us
eternall
life
,
through
the
Bread
and
Wine
consecrated
,
with
giving
of
thankes
;
the
Bread
being
truely
his
Body
,
&
the
Wine
his
Blood
,
which
we
must
worthily
receive
by
faith
,
&
puritie
of
conscience
,
as
sacred
signes
&
markes
of
the
divine
Caracter
,
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
we
doubt
whether
God
hath
power
,
by
the
symboles
of
Bread
&
Wine
consecrated
,
to
make
us
communicate
of
the
bodie
and
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
though
the
bread
remaine
bread
,
&
the
wine
wine
?
If
it
were
other
wise
,
this
could
be
no
Sacrament
,
but
rather
called
a
Miracle
.
As
when
Iesus
Christ
converted
the
water
into
wine
,
Was
it
not
also
as
easie
for
God
to
change
the
wine
into
blood
,
CHAP.

.
Comparison
betweene
the
two
holy
Sacraments
.
IF
wee
may
presume
to
make
comparison
of
the
two
holy
Sacraments
of
Baptisme
,
and
of
the
Supper
,
In
this
sense
the
holy
Apostle
testifieth
,
that
wee
were
all
baptized
by
the
vertue
of
the
Holy
Spirit
,
Jupiter
Elicius
,
before
the
day
preordained
for
his
second
comming
?
I
may
well
propound
unto
you
the
similitude
of
the
Sunne
,
You
may
now
therefore
understand
,
carnall
and
grosse
Capernaites
,
this
sufficient
and
evident
comparison
,
to
intimate
that
the
infinite
power
of
God
,
is
much
more
compleat
and
perfect
,
then
your
abominable
invention
of
transubstantiation
.
Will
you
not
acknowledge
,
except
your
eie
be
blinded
,
&
obfuscated
with
the
palpable
darknes
of
obstinacie
,
that
the
Sunne
gives
us
his
light
,
his
force
,
his
heate
and
vigour
,
and
yet
neverthelesse
,
the
body
it self
of
the
planetall
Sunne
remaines
&
continues
in
his
sphericall
Orbe
?
Doe
you
not
use
to
say
in
ordinary
common
language
,
when
the
window
of
an
house
is
open
on
that
part
where
the
Sunne
shines
,
that
the
Sun
is
come
into
the
house
,
although
the
Sunne
remaines
still
in
the
Firmament
?
Must
wee
therefore
violently
hale
and
pull
the
body
of
the
Sunne
,
to
make
it
descend
,
and
bee
transubstantiated
into
this
earthly
substance
,
before
it
can
affoord
its
heat
,
beames
,
light
and
nourishment
,
to
Plants
,
Trees
,
Herbes
,
and
Beasts
of
the
earth
?
Are
you
so
brutish
,
O
Capernaits
,
as
not
to
recognize
that
the
true
Sunne
of
Righteousnes
Iesus
Christ
,
hath
more
power
then
this
Astrall
Sunne
,
being
but
mortall
,
and
created
?
If
then
a
mortall
crature
hath
this
power
to
infuse
into
us
the
vertue
and
efficacie
of
his
body
,
by
his
beames
,
light
,
and
heate
,
extended
really
and
effectually
over
the
whole
earth
,
the
body
remaining
still
in
its
heaven
:
and
shall
wee
not
beleeve
that
God
an
immortall
Creator
hath
much
more
power
to
grant
us
the
true
Sunne
of
Righteousnesse
Iesus
Christ
:
to
give
us
the
vertue
and
power
of
his
body
and
bloodshed
for
us
by
the
beames
,
light
,
and
heat
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
except
hee
be
by
your
Magicke
pluckt
from
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
his
body
drawne
out
of
Heaven
,
to
be
transubstantiated
upon
earth
?
Why
should
not
Iesus
Christ
have
this
power
to
affoord
us
his
light
,
and
to
offer
his
body
and
blood
to
enter
intous
,
if
by
faith
and
a
pure
conscience
wee
be
ready
to
receive
him
,
by
the
efficacy
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
as
well
and
better
,
then
the
sphericall
Sunne
can
enter
into
our
houses
with
his
force
and
power
,
and
never
be
drawne
out
of
its
heaven
,
to
bee
transubstantiated
?
The
Snnue
is
an
entire
body
created
,
residing
in
heaven
:
the
cause
of
the
generation
of
Plants
,
Trees
,
&
Herbes
,
which
by
its
force
and
calidity
,
gives
sustentation
to
whatsoever
lives
upon
the
earth
,
and
in
one
&
the
same
moment
,
hath
power
to
quicken
,
heat
,
and
nourish
,
an
infinit
number
of
Plants
,
Trees
,
and
Beasts
of
the
earth
:
and
yet
his
body
is
never
separated
,
divided
,
drawne
out
of
his
spherre
,
nor
transubstantiated
.
The
body
also
of
Iesus
Christ
which
hee
assumed
up
into
heaven
,
set
at
the
right
hand
of
God
:
hath
not
that
more
force
,
more
vertue
,
more
power
,
to
regenerate
,
nourish
and
sustaine
us
;
to
give
us
his
vertue
,
light
and
beames
;
to
inspire
,
quicken
,
illuminate
and
nourish
us
,
&
in
a
moment
to
make
us
all
by
faith
partakers
of
his
body
and
blood
:
to
make
us
members
of
his
members
,
united
in
,
&
by
him
,
through
his
true
promise
,
comprehended
under
the
symboles
and
sacred
signes
commended
unto
us
,
till
the
second
comming
of
his
humanity
be
revealed
upon
earth
?
Wherefore
then
,
O
Missalians
,
have
you
divised
this
Magicke
of
transubstantiation
,
to
blaspheme
against
God
,
to
impaire
his
omnipotency
,
and
disable
his
vertue
more
then
you
do
that
of
the
sphericall
Sun
,
but
his
creature
?
Why
should
you
hale
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
out
of
heaven
,
before
the
preordained
time
,
to
transubstantiate
it
into
your
little
round
azimall
hosts
,
printed
with
imagery
,
which
you
cause
to
bee
adored
,
For
other
more
familiar
and
domesticall
comparisons
,
consider
,
O
Missalians
,
how
earthly
and
mortall
Princes
are
reputed
,
reverenced
and
honoured
by
such
sacred
signe●
as
they
ordaine
;
I
will
onely
propound
unto
you
two
,
which
is
to
say
,
waxe
and
metalls
:
of
one
the
Princes
seale
is
composed
,
with
which
,
grants
,
pardons
,
and
remissions
are
sealed
,
charters
,
and
priviledges
by
the
Prince
conferred
.
He
that
falsifies
this
seale
is
he
not
punisht
as
in
case
of
high
treason
,
even
as
if
hee
had
outraged
the
person
of
the
Prince
?
Does
not
this
seale
represent
his
owne
person
,
even
as
if
himselfe
were
present
?
Neverthelesse
the
seale
though
it
bee
called
the
seale
of
the
Prince
,
is
not
transubstantiated
,
but
still
remaines
waxe
:
Also
the
mettals
of
gold
or
silver
coyned
with
the
Princes
stampe
,
doe
serve
for
mony
,
although
they
are
no
more
called
gold
nor
silver
;
but
having
once
exchanged
their
names
at
the
Princes
will
,
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
have
the
Princes
impression
upon
them
,
by
&
in
which
hee
is
represented
really
:
so
that
whosoever
clips
or
falsifies
that
money
,
is
sorely
punisht
by
death
as
a
fellon
&
a
traitor
to
his
Prince
,
for
it
is
in
a
manner
as
bad
,
&
as
if
hee
had
offended
&
conspired
against
the
Princes
owne
person
;
by
farre
greater
reason
the
bread
and
the
wine
,
consec
rated
and
ordained
to
bee
Sacraments
of
the
pretious
body
and
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
But
if
you
Missalians
or
Masse-Priests
,
Nicolaits
and
transubstantiators
,
At
the
least
wil
you
not
beleeve
at
all
the
interpretations
of
the
ancient
Authors
of
the
Church
:
hearken
but
to
the
saying
of
St.
Augustin
against
Adamantine
that
notable
hereticke
:
Hoc
est
Corpus
meum
,
this
is
my
Body
,
in
presenting
and
breaking
bread
to
his
Disciples
,
hee
gave
them
the
signe
of
his
body
,
for
otherwise
it
should
seeme
to
bee
a
thing
both
inhumane
and
unlawfull
,
to
devoure
the
pretious
flesh
&
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
;
if
there
were
not
the
figure
of
the
bread
and
wine
for
to
keepe
in
memory
his
flesh
and
blood
,
the
body
of
Christ
having
beene
sacrificed
to
God
his
Father
for
our
life
and
eternall
nourishment
.
Againe
the
same
Author
used
this
interpretation
:
Wherefore
then
,
O
Missalians
,
have
you
not
followed
the
authority
of
these
holy
Doctors
,
of
the
Church
which
would
not
blaspheme
against
God
by
the
Magick
of
transubstantiation
,
bat
have
freelly
and
vertuously
acknowledged
the
Sacrament
to
be
a
visible
signe
or
sacred
figure
,
signifying
by
faith
&
spirit
that
which
is
invisible
?
Wherefore
do
you
prepare
the
mouth
&
the
belly
for
to
devoure
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
corporally
,
really
and
carnally
?
Why
offer
you
not
your selfes
by
true
and
lively
faith
for
to
eate
worthily
Christ
Iesus
?
Why
have
you
not
understood
the
manducation
of
the
body
of
Christ
,
by
the
notable
distinction
of
that
loarned
Doctor
St.
Ierome
,
saying
:
For
another
proofe
,
And
if
ye
desire
larger
testimonies
,
S.
Ambrosius
upon
the
Epistle
of
S.
Paul
to
the
Corhintians
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
us
.
Origen
likewise
in
his
Homilies
,
Hoc
est
Corpus
meum
,
not
understood
spiritually
kils
the
soule
,
when
he
writes
to
eate
the
flesh
of
Christ
.
Wherefore
St.
Chrysostome
admonished
the
people
to
honour
that
holy
Sacrament
in
offring
himselfe
,
his
soule
to
God
,
For
the
resolution
,
wee
must
follow
and
be
ruled
,
according
to
the
instruction
and
interpretation
of
our
holy
Saviour
Christ
Iesus
and
his
Apostles
,
to
honour
and
reverence
his
holy
Sacraments
instituted
of
him
by
extorior
signes
,
to
lift
up
our
hearts
,
and
raise
our
spirits
and
minds
to
Heaven
,
Let
us
then
be
assured
in
Christ
Iesus
as
members
of
his
body
,
FINIS
.
Invincible
proofes
,
that
Transubstantiation
is
but
of
late
yeares
,
gathered
out
of
authentick
Authours
and
confessed
by
the
most
learned
of
the
Papists
.
NOw
to
manifest
that
the
Church
of
Christ
taught
none
other
doctrine
concerning
the
Lord
Supper
,
then
the
reformed
Churches
doe
teach
for
one
thousend
years
since
Christ
,
here
I
doe
produce
undenyable
testimonies
.
First
the
Book
of
Alfricus
,
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
Anno
996.
in
the
raigne
of
Etheldred
King
of
England
,
which
book
doth
remain
in
the
Library
at
Exeter
,
and
a
coppy
of
part
of
it
dedicated
to
King
Henry
the
8.
by
Doctor
Cranmer
;
And
by
the
same
booke
Alfricus
having
translated
So.
Sermons
out
of
Latin
into
the
Saxon
tongue
,
of
which
hee
made
two
bookes
,
and
hee
was
of
such
learning
and
eloquence
and
of
such
worthy
esteem
in
the
Churches
of
England
,
that
wheras
they
made
a
book
of
Canons
after
his
death
to
govern
the
clergy
,
they
did
collect
out
of
some
generall
counsells
,
&
other
ancient
Fathers
,
in
which
they
did
insert
two
of
the
Sermons
in
that
book
of
Alfrieus
his
translation
into
the
Saxon
language
,
the
one
was
read
in
the
church
on
Easterday
,
before
they
received
the
Lords
Supper
,
and
there
anie
may
read
it
in
the
Saxon
language
or
in
English
recorded
by
Mr.
Fox
,
and
there
are
two
of
these
books
extant
,
and
one
of
them
is
to
be
seen
in
the
Library
at
Exeter
,
and
the
Italians
and
French
did
not
understand
the
Saxon
language
,
&
I
take
it
that
was
the
cause
they
did
not
suppresse
it
,
as
they
did
others
.
For
Mr.
Fox
doth
shew
there
,
how
they
have
rased
out
of
some
of
the
Latin
sermons
,
which
are
to
be
seen
in
those
of
the
Saxon
tongue
,
and
thence
he
doth
shew
that
they
were
such
words
,
as
made
against
their
superstition
:
So
it
is
manifest
that
this
doctrine
of
Transubstantion
was
not
received
in
the
Churches
of
England
for
fifty
years
after
,
for
this
book
of
constitutions
was
in
use
till
Langfrank
was
Archbishop
,
&
it
doth
appeare
that
sermon
was
read
in
those
Churches
untill
William
the
Conquerour
came
into
England
,
&
had
raigned
there
some
years
,
in
likely
hood
till
the
year
1070.
&
Capgrave
and
William
Mamsbery
,
who
were
History
writers
,
doe
both
of
them
affirm
,
that
this
Alfricus
was
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
about
the
year
996.
And
by
the
rehearsed
booke
of
Canons
&
constitutions
it
doth
appear
that
this
Alfricus
was
holden
for
a
man
of
found
judgment
and
a
Catholike
writer
,
and
this
booke
of
constitutions
was
given
unto
the
Church
of
Worcester
,
by
William
Bishop
of
Worcester
,
for
an
especiall
treasure
;
as
doth
appeare
in
the
same
booke
.
Besides
this
book
,
there
is
another
booke
given
to
the
Church
of
Exeter
,
by
Leofrious
,
the
first
and
famous
Bishop
of
that
Sea
,
which
hath
those
two
Epistles
before
rehearsed
.
Manie
other
proofes
ye
may
see
in
Mr.
Fox
,
for
the
truth
of
this
Authour
.
And
it
doth
appear
that
Langfrank
did
alter
this
doctrine
,
for
before
hee
came
into
England
,
I
doe
finde
that

Counsell

doe
say
,
manie
French
stood
with
him
,
William
Mau●●usbury
affirme
,
the
same
.
which
did
dispute
against
one
Beringarius
,
Archdeacon
of
Angreas
in
France
,
who
was
turmoiled
&
persecuted
by
four
Popes
,
for
defending
in
the
Lords
Supper
,
Bread
and
Wine
did
remain
,
and
that
the
faithfull
received
Christ
spiritually
and
not
with
their
carnall
mouths
,
his
last
recantation
hee
made
under
Pope
Hildebrand
,
named
Gregory
the
7.
Anno
1079.
Vpon
which
hee
with
griefe
and
sorrow
did
give
away
his
living
,
and
all
his
goods
to
the
poore
,
and
wrought
for
his
living
in
his
old
age
,
after
hee
had
been
persecated
thirty
years
:
one
Authour
doth
say
,
hee
did
repent
his
forsaking
of
the
truth
before
his
death
.
These
with
manie
other
testimonies
are
to
be
seen
in
the
answere
to
the
6.
Articles
,
recorded
by
Mr.
Fox
.
And
Osbon
,
who
did
write
an
History
at
the
appointment
of
Langfrank
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
doth
say
,
that
at
that
time
certain
of
the
Priests
and
Clergy
were
deluded
and
seduced
by
wicked
errour
,
did
hold
and
maintain
that
bread
and
wine
which
are
sett
upon
the
Altar
after
the
consecration
doe
remain
in
their
former
substances
,
and
are
but
a
figure
of
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
.
Thus
was
the
manner
of
the
Popish
Priests
thus
to
deprave
,
wher
it
is
certain
by
that
before
rehearsed
,
&
this
herafter
testified
,
that
this
was
the
judgment
of
the
Church
:
&
the
reasons
he
used
to
shew
what
made
them
alter
their
mindes
are
certain
false
miracles
,
which
are
common
in
their
Legendaries
,
&
may
be
read
in
the
forenamed
History
,
which
if
I
should
rehearse
would
be
thought
lying
for
the
Whetstone
.
Whilst
this
abhominable
doctrine
was
in
hatching
.
See
how
many
thousand
witnesses
the
Lord
did
stirre
up
to
maintain
his
truth
,
even
by
their
own
Authors
confessed
.
See
rerum
Francicarum
scriptores
about
the
yeare
1283.
Hee
saith
,
the
heresye
of
the
Waldenses
spread
throughout
Europe
.
Look

Rayling
Booke
,
written
against
Mr.
Fox
his
Booke
,
printed
1603.
in
the
528.
Section
he
saith
,
the
doctrine
of
the
Waldenses
was
spread
in
more
then
a
thousand
Cityes
,
speaking
of
the
yeare
1200.
There
is
a
Cronicle
of
Lambertus
a
Monk
of
Hersfield
,
The
Bishop
of
Florence
did
teach
and
preach
,
that
Antichrist
was
then
manifested
,
as
Gabellicus
testifyeth
.
Blondus
Platina
testifieth
he
also
disalowed
of
many
Ceremonies
,
for
which
the
Pope
deprived
him
of
all
his
goods
.

A
counsell
holden
at
Rome
,
St.
Peter
,
and
hee
had
delivered
it
from
the
mouth
of
Christ
,
that
all
Churches
and
Cloysters
are
to
be
planted
and
established
by
the
Sea
of
Rome
,
and
all
ought
in
conscience
to
be
obedient
to
that
Sea
,
and
to
acknowledge
that
he
hath
received
power
to
open
the
gates
of
Heaven
to
whom
he
would
,
and
also
to
shurt
them
against
any
,
and
that
the
Romain
Church
was
builded
on
the
Sone
of
God
,
which
all
ought
to
beleeve
;
and
this
is
builded
on
the
faith
of
Peter
,
&
that
Peter
and
Paul
did
plant
the
Church
at
Rome
with
their
blood
,
and
that
it
was
the
Mother
church
of
all
other
Churches
,
and
those
which
did
oppose
that
Church
did
oppose
the
Word
of
God
.
See
the
counsell
of

At

was

The
Archbishop

sett
down
some
testimonies
of
some
of
those
,
Before
there
was
any
generall
Lawe
to
maintain
this
Transubstantiation
.
I
finde
under
the
Bishop
of
Trare
four
persons
banished
,
and
accompted
hereticks
,
for
that
they
affirmed
the
bread
and
wine
doe
remain
in
their
former
substance
at
the
Lords
Supper
,
after
the
words
of
consecration
.
They
denyed
the
Pope
to
have
authority
over
other
Churches
.

was

the
other
was
apprehended
&
committed
to

,
but
what
came
of
him
we
finde
not
:
but
the
followed
great
persecution
,
&
many
of
their
Disciples
went
to
their
death
joyfully
.

did

,
and
in

with
envy
.
See
the
Cronicle
of

Ilyricus
in
his
boock
Detesbus
,
This
yeare
was
Peter
Waldus
called
in
question
,
First
the
Bishops
and
Priests
sent
unto
him
,
and
forbad
him
to
have
any
mo
such
meetings
in
his
house
upon
payne
of
excommunication
;
to
which
he
gave
this
answer
:
That
it
was
his
dutie
to
teach
his
houshould
the
grounds
of
religion
,
&
wheras
his
neighbours
came
to
heare
him
,
he
did
not
find
wher
that
he
ought
to
forbid
them
,
but
he
was
assured
it
was
his
dutye
to
teach
his
houshould
,
&
he
would
obey
the
voice
of
Christ
,
&
when
he
was
called
into
question
,
that
which
they
layd
to
his
charge
was
,
that
hee
affirmed
that
the
Masse
was
abominable
before
God
,
and
that
hee
denyed
any
more
Sacraments
,
then
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
Supper
,
and
that
it
was
an
abomination
,
to
offer
for
the
dead
,
and
that
Purgatory
was
the
invention
of
men
,
&
that
there
was
no
ground
in
the
Scripture
for
it
,
for
the
Faithfull
go
presently
to
joy
after
this
life
,
that
honouring
of
Images
&
praying
to
Saincts
,
was
idolatrie
,
&
that
the
Church
of
Rome
was
the
Whore
of
Babylon
,
&
that
Christians
ought
not
to
obey
the
Pope
or
the
Bishops
,
because
they
were
no
better
then
Wolves
to
destroy
the
Church
,
and
that
they
ought
not
to
meddle
with
the
temporall
sword
,
and
that
their
additions
of
mo
Sacraments
then
two
,
was
wicked
.
Item
,
that
the
Vowe
of
chastity
was
found
to
be
Sodomitrie
,
&
that
the
many
orders
of
the
Monks
was
the
marke
of
the
Beast
,
&
abominable
against
Christ
;
And
because
the
Popes
champion
Bernard
,
who
is
saincted
for
his
worke
,
&
Peter
of
Clumin
:
write
so
spightfully
of
them
charging
them
with
sundry
heresies
,
and
that
they
denie
childrens
baptisme
.
I
will
set
downe
the
testimonie
of
one
,
who
was
a
bloody
persecutor
of
them
,
as
it
is
in
a
little
booke
that
he
wrote
against
the
Waldenses
,
about
the
yeare
1270.
wherein
when
hee
hath
spoken
all
the
evill
of
them
he
could
,
yet
God
,
who
opened
the
mouth
of
Balaams
Asse
,
caused
him
to
write
these
words
of
them
.
They
are
(
saith
he
)
more
pernitious
against
the
Romane
Church
,
then
all
other
hereticks
,
for
three
causes
.
The
first
is
,
because
they
have
bene
of
longer
continuance
,
for
some
say
they
have
bene
since
Silvester
,
others
say
,
they
have
bene
since
the
Apostles
time
.
The
second
cause
is
,
because
they
are
more
generall
,
for
there
is
almost
no
land
in
which
this
sect
doth
not
creepe
.
The
third
cause
is
,
because
all
other
sects
,
do
bring
a
horrour
,
with
the
haynousnesse
of
their
blasphemies
against
God
:
but
this
secte
of
the
Lioneses
hath
a
great
shewe
of
godlynes
,
because
they
live
justly
before
men
,
and
they
beleeve
all
things
well
concerning
God
,
&
they
beleeve
all
the
Articles
,
which
are
contayned
in
the
Creede
.
They
blaspheme
and
hate
only
the
Church
of
Rome
.
This
is
to
be
found
in
a
little
Treatise
of
Renerius
,
imprinted
neere
a
hundred
yeares
since
.
Who
was
a
bloody
Inquisitour
,
and
gave
sentence
of
death
against
sundry
of
them
.
The
Iesuite
saith
,
that
one
Cesarius
writes
,
that
the
Doctrine
of
these
Waldenses
was
spread
in
more
then
a
thousand
cities
,
Now
we
will
shewe
what
the
heresie
was
for
which
they
were
persecuted
,
as
Langfrank
saith
.
That
the
sacrifice
of
the
Church
consisteth
of
two
things
,
the
one
visible
,
the
other
invisible
,
that
is
,
of
the
Sacrament
,
&
the
the
thing
or
matter
of
the
Sacrament
,
which
is
the
body
of
Christ
,
if
it
were
here
present
before
our
eyes
,
it
were
a
thing
visible
,
and
to
be
seene
;
but
being
lift
up
to
Heaven
,
and
sitting
on
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
,
to
the
time
of
restoring
of
all
things
,
as
Peter
saith
.
It
can
not
be
called
downe
from
thence
,
for
the
person
of
Christ
consisteth
of
God
and
man
.
The
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Table
,
consisteth
of
bread
and
wine
,
which
being
consecrated
,
are
not
changed
but
remaine
in
their
substances
,
having
a
resemblance
or
similitude
of
those
things
,
whereof
they
be
Sacraments
.
See
Langfrank
.
The
adversaries
did
teach
this
Faith
following
.
I
beleeve
the
earthly
substances
,
The
Doctrine
of
Guimundus
,
Archbishop
of
Aversam
,
And
further
,
he
answereth
an
objection
putt
forth
,
that
it
is
not
lawful
for
Christ
to
be
torn
in
peeces
with
teeth
,
he
doubteth
not
to
pronounce
,
that
whether
we
take
tearing
for
bare
biting
,
it
is
not
repugnant
nor
disagreeing
,
but
that
by
the
will
of
God
agreeing
thereunto
,
the
body
of
Christ
may
be
b●tten
,
with
mouth
crushed
,
yea
&
divided
in
peeces
with
hard
or
soft
pressing
of
the
teeth
,
&
that
as
he
was
brursed
upon
the
crosse
,
according
to
the
Prophets
laying
,
hee
was
bruised
for
our
iniquityes
,
so
the
same
body
for
the
health
of
the
faithfull
,
may
devoutly
be
torn
&
tent
with
their
teeth
,
any
thing
to
the
contrary
notwithstanding
.
Cuimundus

Let
all
which
fear
God
observ
now
these
doe
oppose
the
word
of
God
,
They
shall
not
break
a
bone
of
him
.
Thus
I
have
shewed
how
this
abhominable
doctrine
of
Transubstantiation
crept
into
the
church
,
&
that
it
was
hatched
by
the
Monks
,
&
by
the
Histories
wee
may
see
how
they
confirmed
it
with
miracles
,
and
their
holy
bishop
Duaston
did
triumph
over
the
Divell
,
when
hee
would
have
enticed
him
to
lust
after
a
young
Woman
.
Hee
got
the
Divell
by
the
nose
with
a
pair
of
red
not
tongs
.
Such
like
miracles
are
to
be
read
in
their
Legend
.
Another
miracle
of
a
lewish
Boy
,
And
seeing
the
Papists
,
do
affirme
,
that
the
Church
of
Christ
did
in
all
ages
teach
Transubstantiation
to
be
a
Catholike
doctrine
:
We
will
examine
one
of
their
Historie-writers
,
who
wrote
in
the
time
this
idole
was
a
hatching
,
called
Osbon
,
who
did
write
the
lives
of
three
Archbishops
of
Canterbury
,
about
the
yeare
1076.
in
which
Historie
hee
saith
:
In
the
dayes
of
Odo
,
certaine
of
the
Clergy
being
seduced
by
wicked
error
,
did
hould
and
maintaine
,
that
the
bread
and
wine
,
which
are
set
upon
the
Altar
,
after
the
consecration
,
do
remaine
in
their
former
substance
,
&
are
but
only
a
figure
of
the
body
&
blood
of
Christ
:
But
(
saith
hee
)
that
holy
Father
Odo
did
convert
them
,
which
was
about
the
yeare
951.
Hee
reciteth
the
means
which
Odo
did
use
,
to
convert
them
by
a
certaine
miracle
.
Hee
saith
:
These
Clergie
Men
being
before
him
,
hee
perswaded
them
,
seeing
they
could
not
be
convicted
by
argument
,
yet
he
requested
them
,
to
stay
and
see
him
say
Masse
,
&
to
communicate
,
which
they
did
,
&
seeing
,
after
consecration
&
breaking
of
the
Hoste
over
the
chalice
,
the
blood
dropped
out
of
the
Hoste
into
the
chalice
Odo
.
(
saith
hee
)
wept
for
joy
to
see
his
petition
accomplished
,
which
hee
so
carnestly
prayed
for
.
On
the
sight
thereof
,
he
saith
:
these
clergie
men
behoulding
and
seeing
were
converted
,
and
blessed
the
Archbishop
,
thanking
God
that
he
was
borne
to
manifest
his
truth
to
them
,
and
thus
they
were
converted
to
beleeve
Transubstantiation
,
and
blessed
the
Archbishop
for
their
conversion
,
and
they
desired
him
to
pray
againe
that
it
might
returne
to
the
former
substance
,
and
presently
he
returned
it
into
the
same
substance
.
Now
I
would
gladly
know
what
was
the
reason
,
that
after
this
great
miracle
,
and
the
conversion
of
this
clergie
,
that
this
contrarie
Doctrine
should
be
taught
,
and
that
an
Archbishop
Alfrecus
should
translate
and
write
against
this
miracle
&
doctrine
,
and
that
all
the
Churches
in
England
should
with
him
teach
against
this
Transubstantation
,
and
that
for
90.
yeares
,
if
not
for
a
hundred
,
and
yet
should
not
be
excommunicated
by
the
holy
Father
the
Pope
,
&
not
once
proceeded
against
,
seeing
that
60.
yeares
after
,
the
clergie
of
England
made
a
booke
of
constitutions
to
be
governed
by
,
in
which
they
did
all
approve
,
that
in
the
Lords
Supper
,
there
remained
bread
&
wine
,
and
yet
the
faithfull
receaved
Christ
spiritually
,
and
yet
for
all
this
the
Pope
did
not
proceede
against
them
.
Againe
what
was
the
reason
,
there
were
so
many
Latine
sermons
tolerated
in
the
Church
,
which
taught
against
their
superstitions
,
and
they
not
condemned
by
some
generall
councell
for
heresie
,
if
the
Church
had
formerly
concluded
this
Doctrine
.
Againe
what
is
the
reason
that
these
Latine
Sermons
are
all
made
away
,
except
one
,
and
that
that
should
have
some
words
utterly
razed
out
,
&
the
same
Sermon
remaining
in
the
Saxon
language
,
hath
these
words
:
Notwithstanding
this
sacrifice
is
not
the
same
body
of
his
,
wherein
he
suffered
for
us
,
nor
the
same
blood
of
his
,
which
hee
shed
for
us
,
Againe
I
marvell
those
clergie
men
were
suffred
to
be
so
neare
the
Bishop
at
his
celebrating
of
Masse
,
and
were
not
rather
committed
to
ward
like
hereticks
.
Againe
I
marvell
that
this
Odo
,
Againe
I
do
marvell
that
Osbon
doth
not
make
mention
of
their
singing
to
Deum
,
seeing
it
was
in
the
Cathedrall
Church
,
where
so
many
singing
men
were
.
That
Jesuite
,
who
can
cleare
these
Doubts
shall
do
as
great
a
miracle
,
as
Odo
did
,
when
by
his
prayers
caused
a
sword
to
come
flying
from
heaven
into
King
Ethelstanes
scabard
,
when
he
had
lost
his
owne
,
and
he
being
in
fight
with
Analnus
.
Or
as
great
a
miracle
as
Odo
did
,
in
making
that
all
the
time
the
roofe
of
the
Chuch
of
Canterbury
was
a
building
,
hee
caused
that
not
one
drop
of
raine
fell
in
the
Church
,
nay
that
Iesuite
deserveth
a
Cardinals
hat
.
All
these
reasons
well
considered
,
do
shewe
that
this
Osbon
did
seeke
to
delude
the
people
,
and
his
testimonie
is
found
to
be
against
them
,
and
to
manifest
the
truth
for
us
.
And
this
Doctrine
was
not
established
by
generall
consent
,
till
Innocent
the
3.
by
the
counsell
holden
at
Rome
,
Anno
1215.
It
was
by
1300
,
Bishops
,
and
there
they
did
decree
,
that
all
must
goe
to
confession
once
a
yeare
,
and
come
to
the
communion
,
and
this
was
made
an
Article
of
Faith
.
About
the
year
of
our
Lord
1280.
lived
Iohannes
Scotus
,
he
is
called
Downes
,
he
was
Master
of
Sciences
,
&
in
his
4.
book
he
writes
thus
of
the
sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
the
scriptures
might
be
expounded
more
easily
&
more
planely
,
without
Transubstantiation
,
but
the
Church
did
choose
this
sence
,
which
is
more
hard
being
moved
thereunto
,
as
it
seemeth
chiefly
because
of
the
Sacrament
,
men
ought
to
hold
as
the
holy
Church
of
Rome
holdeth
.
And
in
the
same
place
,
he
doth
allude
unto
Jnnocent
the
3.
and
the
counsell
holden
in
the
Church
at
Rome
,
called
the
Laterane
counsell
.
Erasmus
on
the
1.
Corinth.
7.
saith
:
The
Church
of
Christ
hath
lately
determined
Transubstantiation
in
the
Sacrament
,
it
was
enough
a
long
season
to
beleeve
Christs
body
to
be
either
under
the
bread
consecrated
,
or
els
to
be
present
after
any
other
manner
,
this
he
wrote
about
an
120.
yeares
since
.
He
was
as
great
a
learned
man
,
as
any
lived
in
that
age
.
This
Pope
having
(
as
it
is
manifested
)
altered
the
institution
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
he
having
ordained
a
new
faith
,
and
having
chosen
4.
orders
of
Fryers
,
which
brought
forth
a
new
Gospel
,
called
Cirillus
,
by
which
they
taught
that
God
governed
in
the
time
of
the
Law
,
the
Sone
in
the
time
of
grace
,
but
now
by
the
comming
of
the
4.
orders
of
begging
Fryers
,
the
Holy
Ghost
began
to
raigne
,
and
should
raigne
till
the
end
of
the
world
,
and
those
which
beleeved
this
new
Gospell
,
should
be
saved
.
And
if
the
Lord
in
mercy
had
not
stirred
up
many
witnesses
,
Mr.
Fox
.
This
Innocentius
the
3.
came
to
be
Pope
Anno
1198.
Hee
was
Pope
19.
yeares
,
and
he
having
brought
in
many
superstitions
into
the
Chuch
:
Hee
commanded
Almericum
of
Paris
to
be
burned
for
an
hereticke
,
because
he
disallowed
Transubstantiation
,
and
that
whosoever
did
not
goe
to
confession
at
least
once
a
yeare
,
should
be
excommunicate
.
He
ordained
the
Lords
Supper
should
be
celebrated
without
wine
:
he
ordained
that
the
consecrated
Hoste
should
be
carryed
to
the
sick
by
the
Priest
in
a
gorgeous
habit
,
with
torches
or
candles
light
,
and
a
bell
before
him
,
and
so
to
goe
to
the
sick
,
and
give
him
of
it
.
It
is
recorded
,
this
Pope
was
exceeding
subtile
and
crafty
,
he
brought
the
Emperour
under
him
,
and
all
the
Kings
in
Europe
,
as
Abas
Vespergincs
saith
.
Hee
gott
all
the
wealth
in
the
world
by
his
wicked
devises
.
This
Pope
did
first
institute
the
fowr
orders
of
Fryers
.
wheras
the
order
of
Monks
were
made
first
clergy
men
by
Boniface
the
third
,
in
a
counsell
at
Rome
,
Anno
610.
There
it
was
decreed
that
the
Moncks
might
preach
and
baptise
,
excommunicate
and
absolve
,
whereas
before
they
did
not
attend
any
such
office
:
Vencenee
Belovanses
Hist.
lib.
30.
and
it
doth
appeare
,
that
the
Priests
did
much
oppose
them
.
For
I
doe
find
,
that
Pope
Honorius
after
did
conform
them
to
those
degrees
.
To
returne
to
this
Innocentius
,
there
he
did
ordain
,
that
the
foresaid
Fryers
should
refort
to
all
houses
,
and
that
they
having
received
from
him
power
to
teach
,
to
binde
or
to
loose
all
which
they
should
judge
of
,
and
thus
they
kept
the
people
in
great
feare
of
them
.
These
Popish
orders
of
these
croaking
frogs
were
not
lesie
then
an
hundreth
sorts
of
them
,
and
they
were
in
all
parts
of
Christendom
,
not
one
village
was
free
of
them
,
and
these
were
established
to
suppresse
the
hereticks
,
as
they
did
accompt
them
.
These
Locusts
were
prophecyed
of
before
by
Heldegardis
,
which
Mr.
Fox
doth
record
.
The
Holy
Ghost
hath
foretold
us
,
that
there
should
arise
a
nomber
of
Locusts
out
of
the
earth
,
And
of
these
false
teaching
Fryers
there
needs
no
farther
or
clearer
testimonie
for
their
conviction
,
then
the
condemnation
,
that
Hildigardis
foretold
of
them
,
and
her
testimonie
touching
them
,
is
void
of
exception
,
since
they
hold
hir
for
a
Prophetesse
:
she
prophecyed
first
against
the
Prelates
and
Priests
,
charging
them
with
their
abhominable
living
,
in
neglecting
the
Word
of
God
,
and
betraying
the
truth
,
and
destroying
the
Law
.
She
foretold
thereof
70.
yeares
before
they
were
.
And
this
testimony
M.
Fox
affirmeth
,
he
received
in
parchment
,
written
in
ould
Characters
in
Latine
,
&
hee
doth
shew
certaine
ancient
writers
,
who
have
alledged
it
.
And
this
is
M.
Brightmans
,
translated
into
English
,
as
followeth
.
In
those
dayes
there
shall
rise
up
a
sort
of
Blockish
fellowes
proude
,
covetous
,
perfidious
,
and
crafty
,
Men
who
will
shunne
labour
,
and
give
themselves
wholy
to
idlenes
,
rather
chusing
to
get
their
living
by
flattery
,
and
beggery
,
and
that
will
bend
themselves
with
all
their
might
every
way
they
can
,
perversely
to
resist
the
teachers
of
the
Truth
,
and
hinder
them
,
and
for
this
end
they
will
flatter
noblemen
,
that
they
may
assist
them
in
this
purpose
:
They
shall
also
deceive
the
Nobles
,
and
draw
them
into
errour
,
that
they
may
furnish
them
with
all
necessaries
,
yea
with
all
the
delights
and
pleasures
of
this
world
.
For
the
Divell
shall
ingraft
these
foure
principall
vices
into
their
minds
.
Flattery
,
Envy
,
Hypocrisy
,
and
Sclander
.
Flattery
.
wherewith
to
purchase
great
matters
to
themselves
.
Envy
when
they
shall
see
benefits
bestowed
uppon
others
besids
themselves
.
Hypocrisy
whereby
they
shal
seeke
to
please
men
by
means
of
a
conterfait
dissembling
.
Slander
,
whereby
they
shall
extoll
&
sett
out
themselves
with
prayses
,
by
derogating
from
others
,
that
they
alone
might
be
renowmed
among
men
,
specially
the
simpler
sort
that
are
deceaved
by
them
.
They
shall
preach
indeed
diligently
,
but
without
all
sence
of
pietve
,
and
not
after
the
manner
of
the
holy
Martyres
of
old
.
They
shall
derogate
from
the
secular
Princes
,
they
shall
take
away
the
Sacrament
from
the
true
Pastours
,
and
shall
take
almes
of
those
that
are
very
sicke
,
and
miserable
,
insinuating
,
and
by
litle
and
litle
winding
themselves
,
into
the
harts
of
the
common
people
.
They
shall
have
familiarity
with
women
,
teaching
them
how
to
deceave
their
husbands
and
freinds
,
with
sugared
,
and
dissembling
words
,
how
to
robbe
them
of
their
goods
,
&
then
to
give
the
same
being
thus
purloined
unto
these
their
teachers
.
For
they
shall
lay
hold
on
whatsoever
men
get
,
or
howsoever
it
be
gotten
,
by
stealth
,
robbery
,
or
by
any
legerdemaine
;
&
will
say
to
them
,
give
it
unto
us
,
and
we
will
pray
for
you
,
so
that
labouring
to
cover
other
mens
sinnes
,
they
shall
quite
forget
their
own
.
And
alas
,
they
shall
receave
any
thing
,
from
rogues
,
filchers
,
Theeves
,
Robbers
that
steale
by
the
high
way
side
,
Sacrilegious
persons
,
Vsurers
,
Adulterers
,
Hereticks
,
Scismaticks
,
Apostats
,
whores
and
bawdes
of
Noblemen
,
perjured
Merchants
,
corrupt
Iudges
,
Souldiers
,
Tyrants
,
or
any
that
live
contrary
to
Gods
Laws
.
Perverse
and
wicked
men
they
shal
be
,
embracing
the
persuasion
of
the
Divel
,
the
sweetnes
of
Sin
,
a
soft
and
delicate
life
,
and
a
certaine
fullnes
and
abundance
of
all
wordly
things
,
though
it
be
to
their
own
eternall
damnation
.
All
these
things
shall
manifestly
appeare
to
be
in
them
,
and
they
shall
every
day
ware
more
&
more
wicked
,
and
that
with
mindes
more
&
more
obdurate
.
But
when
as
once
their
crafty
conveiances
shal
be
found
out
,
and
all
their
other
wickednes
,
then
shall
their
large
gifts
cease
,
and
they
shall
go
from
house
to
house
like
hungerbitten
,
and
madde
dogges
,
looking
down
uppon
the
earth
,
and
drawing
in
their
neckes
likes
drones
&
all
to
get
their
fill
of
bread
.
Then
shall
the
people
pursue
them
with
this
out-cry
:
Wo
be
unto
you
miserable
wretches
,
that
are
ordained
to
sorrow
,
the
world
hath
deceaved
you
,
the
Divel
hath
guided
you
with
his
raines
hitherto
,
your
flesh
is
frail
,
your
heart
is
altogether
without
witt
,
grace
,
or
wisdom
,
your
mindes
are
unstable
,
and
wavering
,
and
your
eyes
are
blinded
with
much
vanity
and
folly
.
Your
idle
bellyes
have
lusted
after
delicate
dishes
of
meat
:
and
your
feete
have
been
swift
to
wickednes
.
Remember
the
time
when
you
were
in
sight
happy
,
yet
privily
envyous
:
poore
abroad
,
but
rich
at
home
,
covertous
in
shew
,
but
great
flatterers
in
deed
,
unfaithfull
,
trecherous
,
perverse
backbiters
,
holy
hypocrits
,
supplanters
of
the
truth
,
immoderately
just
,
proud
,
unchast
,
unconstant
teachers
,
delicate
Martyrs
,
gainthirsty
Confessors
,
gentle
,
but
yet
slanderers
.
Religious
,
but
yet
covetous
:
humble
,
but
yet
proud
:
merciful
:
but
yet
impudent
lyers
,
pleasant
flatterers
,
peacemaking
persecutors
,
oppressors
of
the
poore
,
bringers
in
of
new
sects
,
devised
by
your selves
,
men
that
were
counted
mercifull
,
but
are
found
out
to
be
wicked
wretches
,
lovers
of
the
world
,
conjurers
,
dronckards
,
ambitious
,
patrones
of
wicked
facts
,
the
pollers
and
pillers
of
the
whole
world
,
unsatiable
preachers
,
that
seeke
to
please
men
,
&
to
deceave
women
,
sowers
of
discord
,
of
whom
that
famous
Prophet
Moses
spake
wisely
in
his
Song
:
A
people
without
counsaile
,
and
understanding
,
would
to
God
they
had
knowledge
&
understanding
,
and
could
have
foreseene
their
latter
end
.
Ye
have
built
your
nests
on
high
indeed
,
and
when
ye
could
rise
up
no
higher
,
ye
fell
down
like
as
did
Simon
Magus
,
whom
God
destroyed
&
smote
with
a
mighty
plagne
;
So
shall
you
also
be
thrown
down
uppon
the
earth
out
of
the
clouds
,
and
that
by
meanes
of
your
false
doctrine
,
your
wickednes
,
lies
,
slanders
,
and
detestable
facts
.
Then
the
people
shall
say
unto
them
:
Out
uppon
you
,
get
ye
packing
hence
,
you
Captaines
of
mischiefe
,
overturners
of
truth
,
ye
shunamitish
brethren
,
fathers
of
heresies
,
false
Apostles
,
that
counterfaited
the
life
of
the
Apostles
,
whereof
ye
have
been
imitators
by
no
meanes
:
You
sonnes
of
iniquity
,
we
will
not
follow
the
manner
of
your
wayes
.
For
pride
and
arrogancy
have
seduced
you
,
and
insatiable
covetousnes
,
hath
entangled
your
erring
minds
.
And
seeing
that
you
would
needs
ascend
up
higher
then
was
meete
and
equall
,
ye
are
fallen
backe
headlong
into
everlasting
shame
and
reproch
by
Gods
just
judgment
.
These
things
wrote
Hildegard
about
the
yeare
1146.
It
is
recorded
,
that
the
people
were
so
opprest
with
them
,
that
they
make
suite
that
their
number
might
be
lesse
,
for
they
were
not
able
no
maintain
them
all
,
for
they
kept
the
people
in
feare
of
them
,
so
that
they
durst
not
displease
them
,
for
if
they
did
,
they
would
excommunicate
them
,
or
els
accuse
them
to
be
hereticks
,
&
those
that
did
obey
them
,
they
would
flatter
,
&
tell
them
they
would
pray
and
prevaile
with
the
Saincts
,
that
they
should
not
be
tormented
in
Purgatory
.
And
if
they
were
rich
,
&
lay
sick
on
their
death-bed
,
then
they
would
perswade
them
to
give
to
their
order
and
house
at
least
a
childs
portion
,
that
they
might
not
be
tormented
in
purgatory
,
yea
if
they
gave
liberally
,
they
would
promise
them
their
soules
should
goe
presently
into
Paradice
,
and
thus
they
did
beguile
the
simple
people
,
and
defrand
their
posterity
of
their
inheritance
;
so
that
in
lesse
then
400.
years
they
had
gott
the
third
part
of
the
wealth
in
the
world
.
To
the
like
effect
also
prophecyed
Catharine
,
whom
they
have
canonized
for
a
Sainct
.
She
affirmed
that
all
their
Clergy
were
deceivers
of
the
people
,
and
perverters
of
the
truth
.
And
holy
Bridget
did
affirme
,
that
most
of
the
Popes
were
in
Hell
torments
,
for
their
deceaving
the
people
,
and
perverting
the
truth
of
the
Gospell
.
This
Pope
sent
his
Legate
into
France
with
12.
Abbotts
,
to
suppresse
the
Waldenses
,
which
taught
the
Church
of
Rome
was
the
Whore
of
Babylon
,
and
his
ordinances
wicked
,
and
their
Masse
full
of
abhomination
,
contrary
to
Christ
and
his
Gospell
,
and
never
known
to
the
Apostles
.
And
this
Pope
did
first
institute
an
inquisition
,
which
did
condemn
the
poore
lambs
for
hereticks
,
&
the
like
they
did
in
Spaine
,
&
appointed
Diedicus
a
Bishop
there
,
who
did
persecute
them
with
all
cruelty
.

THE
DOCTRINE
Of
the
Church
of
Christ
for
one
thousand
years
after
his
Ascention
.
IRENEVS
saith
,
And
herunto
Tertullian
doth
teach
the
Sacrament
,
Dionisius
calleth
the
Sacrament
of
Christs
body
,
as
Eusebius
doth
relate
.
Ciprian
saith
,
He
saith
:
Christ
drunk
wine
at
his
last
Supper
,
because
hee
would
root
out
the
heresy
of
certain
,
who
used
water
in
administration
.
Chrisostom
saith
,
And
Theodoretus
in
his
first
Dialogue
,
bread
remaineth
,
still
its
former
nature
.
At
a
Counsell
holden
at
Leadium
,
Hesichius
,
Emissenus
,
compareth
a
man
converted
to
Christ
,
Augustin
saith
:
The
bread
doth
not
loose
his
first
nature
after
the
consecration
,
but
it
receiveth
another
quality
,
wherby
it
differeth
from
common
bread
.
And
against
Maximinus
hee
saith
,
Sacraments
are
figures
,
And
in
another
place
he
saith
:
There
are
no
other
sacrifices
then
prayer
,
praises
,
and
thanksgiving
.
Gelasius
saith
:
The
Sacraments
,
which
we
receive
,
Beda
writing
on
the
21
th
.
Psalme
,
hath
these
words
:
Now
to
observe
the
Article
of
our
Faith
:
He
ascended
into
Heaven
,
and
sitteth
on
the
right
hand
of
God
.
Augustin
saith
:
Elsewhere
he
saith
:
Let
the
godly
receive
also
that
Sacrament
,
but
let
them
not
be
carefull
for
the
presence
of
his
body
,
for
as
concerning
his
Majesty
,
his
providence
is
invisible
,
&
unspeakable
graces
,
for
these
words
are
fullfilled
,
which
hee
spake
:
I
am
with
you
to
the
end
of
the
world
.
But
according
to
the
flesh
,
which
he
took
upon
him
when
hee
was
born
of
the
Virgin
,
and
was
apprehended
of
the
Iewes
,
and
was
fastened
to
a
tree
,
taken
down
again
from
the
Crosse
,
lapped
in
linnen
clothes
,
was
buried
,
&
rose
again
,
&
appeared
after
his
resurrection
,
so
ye
shall
not
have
me
alwaies
with
you
&
why
?
Because
as
concerning
his
flesh
:
Mark
well
what
Augustine
saith
,
he
is
aseended
into
heaven
,
and
is
not
here
,
saith
hee
,
therefore
beleeve
not
them
,
which
say
hee
is
here
still
upon
the
earth
.
Also
hee
saith
,
doubt
not
,
but
that
Iesus
Christ
as
concerning
the
nature
of
his
manhood
is
there
,
from
whence
hee
shall
come
,
&
remember
well
,
&
beleeve
the
profession
of
a
Christian
man
,
And
in
the
same
Epistle
he
saith
,
take
away
from
the
bodyes
the
limitation
of
places
,
and
they
shal
be
no
where
,
and
because
they
are
no
where
they
shall
not
be
at
all
.
Vigilius
saith
:
These
few
testimonies
I
have
produced
to
shew
,
that
in
the
maine
differences
of
our
Religion
betwixt
the
Pap●sts
and
us
,
we
have
proofs
not
onely
from
the
Scriptures
,
and
authentick
Fathers
:
but
also
from
the
confession
of
the
Popish
writers
themselves
,
and
that
for
one
thousand
yeares
since
the
Ascention
of
our
Lord
.
And
for
these
points
I
have
related
,
I
could
produce
as
many
more
,
but
I
hasten
to
be
breefe
.
In
the
next
place
I
will
shew
the
Fathers
,
That
we
are
justified
freely
by
tho
grace
of
God
,
apprehended
by
Faith
,
is
a
Doctrine
,
taught
by
the
Apostles
,
&
testified
by
the
ancient
Fathers
.
And
now
,
this
Doctrine
was
opposed
by

Pelagians

And
it
doth
appeare

Remegus
,
Iustifying
faith
is
a
knowledge
,
which
a
man
doth
firmly
assent
to
every
word
God
hath
revealed
unto
him
,
&
resolveth
that
the
promises
of
Gods
graces
through
Christ
,
belongeth
unto
him
,
and
he
hath
a
full
perswasion
,
and
confidence
in
the
favour
of
God
towards
him
,
so
he
overcomming
all
f●are
and
pensivenes
.
For
the
confidence
of
justifying
faith
,
is
a
motion
of
the
will
and
heart
,
consisting
of
a
joy
conceived
for
the
certainly
of
the
present
grace
of
God
toward
him
,
and
of
the
Hope
of
our
future
delivery
from
all
evils
.
There
is
no
faith
,
but
that
,
which
resteth
on
the
will
of
God
,
revealed
in
his
word
.
All
true
faith
is
wrought
in
man
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
either
by
the
voice
of
Gods
heavenly
Doctrine
,
or
by
his
imediate
revelation
,
and
seeing
God
will
kindle
,
frame
,
and
confirme
ordinary
faith
in
us
,
by
the
Doctrine
of
the
Church
,
all
are
bound
to
heare
it
,
and
meditate
theron
.
Faith
alwayes
in
the
ellect
,
is
imperfect
in
this
life
,
&
sometime
languisheth
,
yet
howsoever
,
he
feeleth
in
his
heart
an
earnestnes
against
doubts
,
which
arise
in
his
minde
,
yet
he
doth
certainly
resolve
,
hee
is
indued
with
true
faith
.
This
true
faith
,
being
once
kindled
in
our
hearts
:
although
often
it
languisheth
,
and
is
darkened
for
a
time
,
yet
it
is
never
wholy
extinguished
;
for
by
faith
onely
we
apply
the
promises
of
grace
,
and
we
obtaine
the
promises
of
grace
,
receiving
righteousnes
before
God
and
the
participation
or
communion
of
Christ
,
with
all
his
benefits
.
Soe
true
faith
is
the
perswasion
of
the
heart
,
whereby
the
soule
is
truely
assured
of
redemption
,
and
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
imputation
of
righteousnes
through
Iesus
Christ
.
Let
us
hereto
observe
what
our
Saviour
saith
:
And
therefore
saith
the
Apostle
Iames
What
availeth
it
my
Brethren
,
if
a
man
saith
,
he
have
faith
,
when
he
hath
no
works
:
All
which
have
this
true
faith
,
doe
daily
judge
&
examine
themselves
of
those
sinnes
,
they
have
fallen
into
,
and
they
are
truely
sorye
for
them
,
&
they
doe
humbly
beseech
the
Lord
,
not
onely
for
pardon
,
but
they
doe
instantly
begge
of
him
for
strength
of
his
grace
,
that
he
may
subdue
his
naturall
corruptions
,
which
is
an
especiall
worke
of
true
faith
:
&
therefore
Christ
saith
:
Come
unto
me
all
ye
,
which
labour
and
are
laden
,
For
all
which
have
the
spirit
of
regeneration
,
doe
not
allow
that
which
they
doe
,
for
they
labour
to
doe
that
,
which
they
are
unable
to
performe
,
therefore
they
doe
as
little
Children
doe
,
who
when
their
Father
bids
,
bring
them
somthing
they
are
unable
to
doe
,
and
performe
,
yet
if
the
Child
doe
his
best
to
doe
it
:
his
father
doth
accept
it
as
well
,
if
he
had
performed
it
.
So
is
it
betwixt
us
and
the
Lord
,
if
we
subdue
our
corruptions
,
and
be
sory
for
our
faults
,
and
be
earnestly
sueing
to
the
throne
of
grace
,
for
strength
of
his
Spirit
,
that
we
may
subdue
them
,
then
are
we
those
Christ
speake
of
:
Blessed
are
those
,
which
mourne
for
they
shal
be
comforted
.
If
wee
have
these
effects
,
then
are
we
those
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
,
saying
:
He
which
is
borne
of
God
,
The
consideration
of
this
,
caused
the
Apostle
to
charge
the
servants
of
God
,
to
mortify
their
lusts
,
because
the
time
is
come
that
judgement
doth
begin
at
the
house
of
God
.
And
he
saith
:
If
it
doe
beginne
with
us
,
what
shall
the
end
be
of
those
,
which
obey
not
the
Gospell
of
God
,
for
if
the
righteous
scarcely
be
saved
,
where
shall
the
wicked
and
ungodly
appeare
?
For
if
Christ
raigne
not
in
our
hearts
,
then
hee
is
not
our
Lord
,
Thus
I
have
pointed
at
the
true
justifying
faith
,
which
the
ancient
Church
did
maintaine
:
But
if
I
should
explicate
it
,
it
would
require
a
quyer
of
paper
to
manifest
it
.
But
I
hasten
to
other
things
.
The
Iesuite
saith
in
484.
folio
,
From
his
owne
affirmation
I
conclude
their
Church
is
false
by
reason
their
faith
was
not
knowne
the
first
thousand
years
,
nay
nor
till
Jnnocent
the
3.
who
was
the
first
Father
of
it
,
although
there
were
sundry
Popes
before
him
in
hatching
it
250.
yeares
,
yet
was
it
not
brought
forth
,
till
the
Counsell
of
Latteran
Aᵒ
1215.
where
there
was
decreed
sundry
other
superstitions
,
and
as
I
have
before
shewed
a
new
faith
was
inacted
,
which
Langfrank
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
did
hatch
,
and
bring
forth
against
Baringaris
.
The
Iesuite
doth
vaunt
that
Rome
is
the
Mother-Church
,
&
that
she
had
converted
Brittaine
before
Paul
came
to
Rome
;
which
is
very
false
by
the
testimony
of
records
,
for
St.
Luke
doth
tell
us
,
that
at
the
persecution
of
Steven
,
there
was
great
persecution
,
B●nardus
Precoris
faith
,
there
was
put
to
death
200●
.
and
the
Church
was
all
scattered
except
the
Apostles
.
And
some
write
,
that
there
fled
out
of
Ierusalem
15000
upon
this
persecution
,
&
some
of
them
fled
into
many
nations
,
preaching
the
Gospell
.
And
that
this
persecution
was
very
great
.
Paul
saith
:
He
went
into
every
house
,
&
drew
out
both
men
and
women
,
and
put
them
in
prison
,
and
thus
he
did
even
in
strange
Cityes
.
And
to
this
end
,
I
will
shew
what
three
of
the
Fathers
have
written
.
Tertullian
,
who
lived
about
one
hundreth
yeares
after
,
saith
:
That
the
faith
of
Christ
was
received
in
the
raigne
of
Tiberius
,
of
the
Medes
,
Persians
,
Messapotanians
,
Iurie
,
Cappadocia
,
Pontus
,
Asia
,
Egypt
,
Pamphilia
,
Morians
,
Spaine
,
France
,
Brittaine
,
Denmarke
,
Germany
,
Suhia
,
Hee
saith
,
in
all
these
Countryes
Christ
is
received
.
And
Gildas
saith
:
The
faith
of
Christ
was
received
in
Brittaine
the
raigne
of
Tiberius
.
Gregory
speaking
of
the
multitude
,
which
fled
out
of
Ierusalem
upon
the
persecution
,
when
Steven
was
put
to
death
,
saith
:
That
the
faith
of
Christ
did
spread
over
all
the
world
,
by
the
multitude
of
them
,
which
fled
.
And
St.
Paul
wrote
to
the
Church
at
Rome
,
about
21.
years
after
,
&
hee
saith
:
The
faith
of
Christ
was
published
throughout
all
the
world
,
which
was
before
Peter
came
at
Rome
.
And
it
doth
appeare
that
those
,
which
planted
the
Gospell
in
Brittaine
,
came
not
from
the
Romaine
Church
,
because
they
did
so
much
dissent
in
ceremonies
,
for
the
observation
of
Easter
day
,
which
is
one
of
the
ancientest
traditions
,
they
did
dissent
from
Rome
700.
yeares
,
and
although
Austine
the
Monk
did
corrupt
the
Church
with
the
Romane
superstitions
,
yet
hee
was
opposed
by
many
learned
Brittaines
,
and
they
sent
unto
Augustine
,
to
confer
with
him
concerning
their
differences
,
&
they
did
agree
to
have
a
meeting
where
Austine
came
with
his
learned
men
;
and
the
Brittaine
Churches
sent
thither
one
Donatus
with
7.
Bishops
,
where
they
met
at
a
place
called
Austines
oake
,
&
there
it
doth
appeare
,
that
they
could
not
agree
,
on
which
Austine
did
threaten
them
with
warre
,
if
they
would
not
receive
his
superstitions
.
And
as
Segebertus
saith
,
Beda
,
Baleus
,
Galfridus
,
and
others
,
Mr.
Fox
doth
shew
,
that
when
Charles
the
Great
did
send
into
England
to
the
King
&
Bishops
and
Nobility
for
to
receive
the
Romane
ceremonies
&
Images
in
the
Churches
,
they
appointed
Albinus
to
answer
it
,
which
hee
did
,
&
when
he
had
answered
it
,
they
did
well
approve
of
it
,
&
sent
it
with
the
booke
to
Charles
King
of
France
,
and
appointed
this
Albinus
to
go
to
him
with
it
.
And
howsoever
it
hath
since
prevailed
,
Panlus
Meriall
.
Anno
794.
yet
there
was
the
same
yeare
a
Counsell
houlden
at
Franckford
of
205.
Bishops
,
which
did
condemne
the
worshipping
of
Images
,
and
the
second
Counsell
of
Nice
for
establishing
of
them
.
But
it
is
objected
,
Foxes
booke
is
a
booke
of
lyes
,
&
therefore
not
to
be
credited
.
I
know
the
Papists
doe
so
charge
it
,
but
(
wee
say
)
how
comes
it
then
,
that

And

refused

so
much

had
so
corrupted

they
would
compell
them
to
receive
the

,
which
they
refused

doe

and
thereupon
they
fell
at
so
great
contention

that
the

Thus

And
then

they
were
converted

the

it
is
certain
they
perverted
the

by

the
faith
of
Christ
was
professed
in

Countryes
long
before

as
I
have
partly
related

I
have
alledged
some
Fathers
here
,
to
shew
how
it
doth
appeare
,
that
they
have
given
testimony
unto
the
truth
,
we
confesse
;
not
that
I
doe
build
my
faith
upon
their
writings
,
or
upon
any
man
on
earth
,
I
doe
reverence
the
graces
of
God
,
I
find
in
them
,
but
my
faith
I
build
upon
the
word
of
God
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
:
For
the
Fathers
themselvs
,
doe
desire
not
to
be
followed
,
but
as
they
follow
Christ

when

hee
saith

are

are

Chrifostome
saith
:
When
the
wicked
heresy
,
which
is
the
army
of
Antichrist
,
hath
prevailed
in
the
Churches
,
there
can
be
no
proofe
of
the
Christian
Religion
,
nor
any
other
refuge
for
Christians
,
that
would
know
the
true
faith
,
but
the
Divine
Scriptures
.
Whosoever
would
know
which
is
the
true
church
of
Christ
,
how
shall
he
know
it
,
but
by
the
Scripture
onely
?
Whereupon
the
Lord
knowing
,
that
there
should
come
such
confusion
of
things
in
the
last
dayes
,
doth
injoyne
the
Christans
,
which
would
have
assurance
of
the
true
faith
,
And
having
written
on

hee
saith

Again
he
saith
:
As
for
us
we
may
not
please
ourselvs
in
any
thing
of
our
own
conceits
,
neither
may
we
choose
that
,
which
others
bring
in
of
their
own
Will.
The
Apostles
of
the
Lord
we
have
for
Authours
,
who
did
not
themselvs
choose
to
bring-in
any
thing
of
their
own
will
,
but
did
faithfully
assigne
to
the
Nations
the
discipline
they
received
of
Christ
,
therefore
although
an
Angell
from
Heaven
should
speak
otherwise
,
wee
should
say
he
were
accursed
