Bozius concluding supremus locus detur miraculis velut testimonium ipsius Dei Which Miracles shewed by God do forcibly confirm the same adds Mr. Brerely and Mr. Mallon the Jesuit stiles them Miraculous demonstrations in confirmation of the Catholick cause much like the Mules adoration of the Hostia in the Hospital of Drochora in the Kingdom of Valentia An. 1239. and of Bovibile his sick Mules refusing his provender 3. days space and the falling down on his knees to the Hostia brought to him by St. Anthony of Padua in solemn procession thereby to convert the Master from his Heresie in not beleeving the Hostia to be Christs natural body which miracle was for the great consolation and edification of the Catholicks though it would not convert Bovibile himself who had not so much understanding as his Mule to acknowledge and adore his Maker in the Hostia as i Ribadeniera stories in the life of of St. Anthony of Padua on the high Altar of whose Church the Mule is yet engraven adoring the Hostia to confirm them in the faith of Transubstantiation and Adoration of the Host But whatever some Catholick Doctors assert of the reality of these miraculous transubstantiations yet Tho.

injury prophanations as sacred to which they were exposed before their consecrations as they all resolve and decree That therefore the very words of benediction consecration pronounced over the elements of the bread and wine in the Eucharist should not only transubstantiate but annihilate and destroy their very substances as some Romish Grandees assure us against the use scope end of all other consecrations whatsoever and metamorphose their very benediction into the greatest curse or execration worse then that Christ denounced against the barren Fig-tree which made it only to wither and dry up but did not quite annihilate it yea worse then the condemnation of the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah which God turned into ashes but not into meer nothing inflicting on them the very judgement of the last day when the heavens shall passe away and the elements earth and works that are therein shall be burnt up and dissolved insteed of a benediction and exemption from violence is not so much miraculous as monstrous impossible incredible untheological Eighthly God and Christ never wrought a Miracle but to manifest or advance their glory divine adoration and destroy Idolatry John 2. 11. 1 Kings 18. 24. 24. 32. But this pretended Miracle serves only to introduce and advance a new kind of Idolatry in adoring the consecrated Host with divine adoration as if it were God himself when as it is in truth but a creature which is both material and formal Idolatry as sundry Protestant Divines and some Pontificians acknowledge Therefore it can be no Miracle Especially if in the Ninth place we consider the sandy foundation whereon this Miracle is built to wit on these 4. or 5. words pronounced over the Hostia by the Priest thus prescribed in the Canon of their Masse Hoc est enim corpus meum Which being at this day pronounced over the bread 1. Not by Christ himself in person as at first but only by the Priest who is but Christs Minister Representative at most The words This is my bodie c. pronounced by him must be false or the Priests body or can only produce a representation of Christs body as he is Christ but in representation 2ly Not uttered by Christ then or Priests now as words of consecration his benedicton of the bread and cup being precedent to them Mat. 26. 26 27. Mar. 14. 22 23 24. Lu. 22. 17 19. 1 Cor. 10. 16. c. 11. 23 24. 1 Tim. 4. 4 5. much lesse of operation or transubstantiation directed to the bread it self or wine to make them his very body and blood but only by way of excitation directed wholly to the Disciples and Communicants as a reason why they should receive it as the word Enim infallibly demonstrates which themselves in the Canon of the Masse annex to Hoc est enim corpus meum as Christ annexed it to hic est enim sanguis meus Novi Testamenti c. Mat. 26. 28. 3ly Because now used only as an historical commemoration or recitation rehearsing what Christ did and said when he first instituted this Sacrament and delivered it to his Disciples above 1600 years past as Lu. 22. 19. 1 Cor. 11. 24 25. their own Canon of the Masse and Micrologus c. 23. assure us by their Qui pridie quà m pateretur accepit panem in sanctas venerabiles manus suas c. deditque discipulis suis dicens Accipite c. Hoc est enim corpus meum c. Hoc quotiescunque feceritis in mei commemorationem facietis not as a thing now really acted over again by Christ when the Priest recites this Historie Which words used by way of historical commemoration of what Christ then did spake can no more in point of reason or experience actually transubstantiate the very bread and wine now consecrated by the Priest in memorial thereof then his reading or recital of the Historie of the Creation Gen. 1. or drowning of the old world building the Temple the several battels slaughters of men in the Old Testament or of Christs conception birth circumcision crucifixion burial resurrection and ascention in the New in the Church or at Masse can produce a new actual creation of the world or new Deluge Temple new Battles slaughters of the self-same or other men or a new real conception birth circumcision crucifixion burial resurrection ascention of Christ himself neither the reciting acting nor representing of any History past ever yet producing an actual real reacting of it in specie or individuo Therefore this historical rehearsing of what Christ did and spake when he instituted his Supper cannot possibly make every peece of bread drop of wine made consecrated above 1600 years after Christs passion his very natural body and blood born of the Virgin Mary erucified and shed upon the Crosse by way of adduction or production without any new addition thereunto or creation of a new body and blood which he had not before no not by a miracle or divine omnipotency 4ly The words then uttered by Christ admit he used the word est not usual in the Hebrew tongue which he then spake as some observe are not direct or positive This bread or wine is turned into or is become or is made my bodie and my blood used in all other real transubstantiations of one thing into another both in the Old and New Testament as Gen. 19. 26.

Whence the Devil himself when he tempted our Saviour to work a transubstantiation of stones into bread used this expression Matth. 4. 3. Command these stones to be made bread But only as their Latin Translations render it Hoc est corpus meum which Verb â—â—â— est or is relating to the words Hoc and Hic and both of them only to the bread and cup which Christ took blessed brake and delivered to his Disciples as the Evangelists and St. Paul expresly resolve not to any Individuum vagum matcria prima or t planè nihil as some of their Seraphical Doctors absurdly determine it must of necessity be interpreted significatively commemoratively or sacramentally not identically since Disparata de disparatis non praedicantur identicè it being impossible that bread and wine creatures specifically distinct from Christs mystical body and blood should be identically his body and blood but only representatively commemoratively or sacramentally as some of their own Doctors confesse In which sense it is most usually taken throughout the Old and New Testaments in texts of like nature as Gen. 9. 17. c. 41. 26 27. Dan. 2. 38. Ezech. 5. 5. c. 37. 11. Mat. 11. 14. c. 13. 30. c. 8. 37. 1 Cor. 15. 4. Gal. 4. 25. Rev. 17. 9 12 15 18. More particularly Isay 40. 6.

Till we all come c. unto the measure of the stature of the fullnesse of Christ Whence St Augustine affirms Ipsi Christiani cum Capite suo quod ascendit in coelum Vnus est Christus omnes in illo et Christi et Christus sumus Now although Christ took upon him their very human nature flesh and blood and was made man like to them in all things sinne only excepted yea made one with them and they with him as their spiritual head husband he dwelling abiding in them and they in him whence he cries out when they are persecuted Saul Saul why persecutest thou me I am Iesus whom thou persecutest and when they are visited fed clothed he particularly affirms I was an hungred and ye gave me meat I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in naked and ye clothed me sick and in prison and ye visited me Verily I say unto you in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me and so vice versa in the negative Yea though he superadded of those who are his Apostles Ministers He that heareth you heareth me and he that despiseth you despiseth me Neither of all which was ever once affirmed by him of any of his Apostles of the consecrated bread or wine in the Eucharist whose nature similitude he never assumed Yet no Roman Pontiff Council Priest or Prelate did ever from all or any of these Texts professedly assert or once endeavour to prove that the Church and every believing Christian Priest was really transubstantiated into the very Natural Body Members Flesh Bones of Christ and into Christ himself but only into his mystical bodie members flesh bones in a mystical and spiritual sense yea though St. Augustine cited by Gratian Beda and St. Chrysostom too asserts Quia passus est Dominus pro nobis commendavit nobis in isto Sacramento sanguinem suum corpus quod etiam fecit nosmetipsos nam et corpus ipsius facti sumus per misericordiam ejus quod accepimus nos sumus Yet Bartholomaeus Brixiensis and other Glossers thus interpret it Haee relatio refertur ad Ecclesiam non ad corpus

Verily verily I say unto you except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood ye have no life in you Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life For my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him I answer 1.

D. besides other Docti religiosi probi viri Catholici of the Roman Church as Maldonet acknowledgeth as well as Luther Oecolampadius and other Protestants resolve that this Chapter Text was never intended of the eating of Christs body and blood in the Sacrament but only of our mystical or spiritual eating and drinking it by faith alone as these unanswerable arguments will evidence 1. Because these words were spoken by Christ near a year or more before the institution of the Lords Supper 2ly They were spoken to all the people and Capernaites who followed Christ only for the loaves John 6. 26 to 67 to whom he never administred the Sacrament not to his 12. disciples to whom only he administred it at his last Supper in private 3ly Because it speaks only of the eating of that bread and flesh of his which came down from heaven not of the Sacramental bread or wine of which there is not one syllable in this Chapter being not then instituted 4ly Of that eating and drinking which is only spiritual by faith not oral by the mouth or teeth and so St. Peter himself as well as Christ then expounded it v. 69. 5ly Of such an eating Christs flesh and drinking his blood without which none can have spiritual or eternal life Therefore not of a Sacramental eating else all infants and others who die before they receive the Sacrament must necessarily be damned which the Church of Rome as well as Protestants contradict 6ly Of such an eating and drinking only which gives eternal life to all who eat Christs flesh and drink his bloud which the Sacramental eating doth not for all unworthy communicants eat and drink damnation to themselves 1 Cor. 11. 23 24. 7ly Of such an eating his flesh and drinking his blood as their dwelling is in Christ and Christ in them John 6. 56. but that dwelling is only spiritual or mystical by faith alone not by eating swallowing bodily inhabitation union or commixture with the bodies of the Communicants as many Romanists in odium haereticorum assert by Suarez his confession 2ly Admit this Text meant of the Sacramental eating Christs flesh drinking his blood it proves only a quite contrary transubstantiation to that the Romanists assert to wit of the flesh of Christ into meat or bread indeed of his blood into drink or wine indeed not of bread into his flesh indeed as the words infallibly attest 3ly It utterly subverts their half-communion and depriving Lay-communicants totally of drinking Christs blood by taking from them the sacred Wine Cup here severed from their eating his flesh in the consecrated bread as not only sacrilegious but damnable since none by the express Letter of the objected Text can have any everlasting life or dwell in Christ and Christ in them unless they drink his blood as well as eat his flesh being here thrice coupled together with the conjunction and yea ratified with this double asseveration of Christ himself who is the truth Verily Verily I say unto you So as they must now either renounce their half communion or this abused Text and their Doctrine of Transuâ—â—â—aâ—â—iation founded thereon Which as it subverts St. Peters and their Popes usurped Universal Ecclesiastical and Temporal Monarchy Vicarship and as it is wholly inconsistent with it or their Ladies Queens Empresse Goddesse Maries Soveraignty or the antient undoubted Ecclesiastical and Temporal Rights of all Christian Kings so particularly of our Kings of England and Ireland whose Papal usurpations on their Crownes were the original occasion of many horrid Conspiracies Insurrections Rebellions Treasons Wars Attempts against their sacred Persons Prerogatives Subjects Liberties Properties in former ages as the ensuing Exact Chronological Vindication c. will at large demonstrate during the Reigns of King John and Henry the 3d. to which I shall now apply my self having been more large in this Introduction to it to help fill up the vacant Pages left for the second Book which I originally designed to have annexed thereunto but amounting to an intire Tome of it self was necessitated to sever from it THE SECOND TOME AND THIRD BOOKE The Prologue I Am now through Divine assistance arrived at the Second TOME and Principally intended part of An Exact Chronological and Historical Demonstration of our British Roman Saxon Danish Norman English Kings Supream Ecclesiastical Iurisdiction over all Prelates Persons Causes within their Kingdomes and the Popes and Popish Prelates intollerable Usurpations on Oppositions against the same beginning with the Tempestuous Reign of our Unfortunate King John when the Antientest Charter Clause Fine Liberate Patent and other Rolls yet extant in the Treasury of the Tower of London begin the Jawes of All-devouring Time having totally consumed all precedent Rolls of this nature during his Predecessors Regins except some Antient Charters and other Fragments of Records never reduced into Rolls In this Kings Reign we meet with

At my first answer no man stood with me but all men forsook me notwithstanding the Lord stood with me and strengthened me that by me not Peter the preaching might be fully known and that all the Gentiles might hear and I was delivered out of the mouth of the Lion And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil worke and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdome 2ly By Christs reiterated promises to send the Holy Ghost as a Comforter unto his Apostles Church Saints to supply his absence not St. Peter or the Pope John 14. 16 17 26. I will pray the Father and he shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever Even the spirit of truth for he dwelleth in you and shall be with you I will not leave you Orthans I will come to you because I live ye shall live also But the Comforter the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in my name he shall teach you all things c. John 16. 7 8. It is expedient for you that I go away for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you but if I depart I will send him unto you And when he is come he shall convince the world of sin c. which promises he fulfilled in sending the Holy Ghost upon them in cloven tongues immediately after his ascention Acts 2. and by shedding him on them and us abundantly through Jesus Christ Tit. 3. 5 6. 1 Cor. 12. 4 5 c. 3ly By Christs expresse provision for his Churches when he ascended up on high and gave several gifts unto all his Apostles and others not to Peter alone for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the Ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ to wit his Church Ephes 2. 8 to 17. 1 Cor. 12 4 c. to 31.

others repute all or most of these Apparitions and Miracles First not to be the true body flesh or blood of Christ and at most but only a colour or signe thereof 1. Because they had not the lineaments shape and proportion of Christs bodie crucified on the Crosse 2.

Walsingham from the testimonie of William de Bonvil an English Knight relates this Miracle that Otho Imperator dysenteriae morbo laborans cum instante morte viaticum recipere non auderet quia nihil retinere poterit tamen corpus Christi ad instantiam ejus ut illud videret allatum humiliter adoravit cum quasi amplexaturus brachiis expansis nudatò corpore appropinquaret hostia illa in loco illo ubi cor latuit facta apertura intravit prosiliens de manibus Sacerdotis et absque omni cicatricis vestigio reclusus est sic que recumbens spiritum reddidit this miraculous Hostia leaping so nimbly out of the Priests hands passing through Otho his ribbs into his bea rt being no other but Christ himself as they reputed who came into his disciples after his resurrection the doors being shut Jo. 20. 19. 26.

Dominion from Constantine the Great which refute and destroy each other Now because the sacred Scriptures are of little or no Authority in the Church of Rome but as they are glossed interpreted from time to time by Popes themselves in their own causes for their own advantage I shall in the next place subvert the foundation of their pretended Universal Monarchy by their own established Romish Devotions Practises Doctrines directly or consequentially contradicting overturning each other by a divine infatuation I shall reduce them to these two general heads 1. Such Practises Devotions Doctrines of the Roman Church and its members as directly invalid diminish subvert the Soveraign Universal Kingly or Priestly offices of Christ himself and by consequence St. Peters and the Popes which they derive from him 2ly Such as subvert the Popes alone To begin with their Practises and Devotions as they deem them The Romanists as you heard before acknowledge that our Saviour Christ as God and Man did not receive the actuall possession or exercise of his Universal Kingly power in earth or heaven especially in Temporals till after his resurrection and his ascention in his humane body and nature into heaven to the Throne of his Majesty not whiles he was a sucking babe in his mothers arms or hanging nayled on his Crosse or intombed in his sepulcher the lowest acts parts of his humiliation antecedent to his actual Soveraign Exaltation and Regal Power as Phil. 2. 1 to 12.

To visit his Mother Mary in her sicknesse 2ly To interre her body after he had ascended with her soul into heaven 3ly At her corporal assumption into heaven some 15 or 16 years after his ascention many years before St. Peters death For 1.

Swoll the Daughter of Fulco King of Jerusalem and Wife of King Theodoricus by the Consent of her Husband became a Nun or Religious woman at Jerusalem where she found as they write a good quantity of Christs bloud which Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea got out of the Wounds of Christ when they washed his body and she sent it to her Husband which bloud as they say is at this day kept at Bruges and is there shewed to the people on the Third day of May Besides this Viol of his Bloud sent into England which he likewise mentions If the Reliques of the bloud of Christ shed on the Crosse be extant in so many places then it could be no such peculiar blessing to England as was then pretended yea being found out only by this Nunne above a thousand years after Christs death it must doubtlesse be a Grosse Imposture as it was afterwards resolved declared and those most audatious false Witnesses who durst thus publickly attest the truth and reality of it under their Hands and seals upon her single evidence yea this our devout King his Nobles Prelates Clergy were strongly deluded to believe lyes who annually adored this bloud with such solemn Devotions Processions and used such artifices to induce the people to adore it as you have already heard In the year 1248. 32 H. 3. the Bishop of Durham presuming upon the Priviledges of his Bishoprick being a County Palatine granted by our Kings favour oppressing the Prior of Tynemouth against the Liberties granted to the Priory by the Kings royal predecessors and the Lawes of the Realm and refusing upon two former Letters sent unto him by the King intreating him in a fair and friendly manner to desist from oppressing the Prior in respect he was under his special protection the Bishop notwithstanding most contemptuously and ungratefully persevering in his illegal vexations aud slighting the Kings former Letters he therupon by his royal Prerogative sent this special Writ and Mandate to him to do justice to the Prior or else he would do him justice himself notwithstanding his Liberties and punish the injuries done unto him which he could not yea ought not any longer to endure HENRICUS Dei Gratiâ c.
