thought had not bin own'd by any Idolater in the world viz. That Images are to be worshipped not as the representatives of the Deity c. and per accidens but properly and per se so as that they terminate the Worship Inter delicias uberis lateris Et dico si forte oculos super ubera tendo Diva parens mammae gaudia posco tuae Sed dico si deinde oculos in vulnera verto O Jesu lateris gaudia malo tui Rem scio prensabo si fas erit ubera dextrâ Laevâ prensabo vulnera si dabitur Lac matris miscere volo cum sanguine nati Non possum antid●to nobiliore frui Vulnera restituant turpem ulceribus mendicum Testa cui saniem radere sola potest Ubera reficient Ismaelem sitientem Quem Sara non patitur quem neque nutrit Agar Ista mihi ad pestem procul procul expungendam Ista mihi ad longas evalitura febres Ira vomit flammas sumatque libidinis Aetna Suffocare queo sanguine lacte queo Livor inexpleta rubigine saevit in artus Detergere queo lacte cruore queo Vanus honos me perpetua prurigine tentat Exsaturare queo sanguine lacte queo Ergo parens nate meis advertite votis Lac peto depereo sanguinem utrumque volo O sitio tamen O vocem sitis intercludit Natae cruore sitim comprime lacte parens Dic matri meus hic sitit optima mater Vis e fonte tuo promere deque meo Dic nato tuus his frater mi mellee fili Captivus monstrat vincula lytron habes Ergo Redemptorem monstra te jure vocari Ubera si reliquis divitiora geris O quando lactabor ab ubere vulnere pascar Deliciisque fruar mamma latusque tuis To which might be added as second hereunto the blasphemous poetry of Franciscus de Mendoza in viridario utriusque eruditionis lib. 2. Prob. 2. The usual ascription of Laus Deo Virginique matri Mariae in the close of their writings in which Divine honour with God is ascribed to the Virgin Mary is known to all Any ordinary Reader knows where to furnish himself with many more instances of the like nature equalizing if not exceeding in expression the greatest Idolaters that ever were in the world We judge it not necessary to stand longer upon this matter 't is beyond exception evident that that Assembly of men that are usually known by the name of the Church of Rome are Idolaters If there be any such in the world they are so 2. That the present Ministers of England act by vertue of an Office-Power from this Combination and Assembly of Idolaters they themselves will not deny Succession from hence being one of the best pleas they have for the justification of their Ministry which when they have proved that ever the Lord Jesus did entrust an Assembly of the greatest Murderers Adulterers and Idolaters in the world with any power for the sending forth Officers to act in the Holy Things of God to and for the Church his Spouse will be admitted but this they shall never be able to do So hugely importunate are some of them herein that they are not ashamed to ask us why Ordination may not be received from the Church so called of Rome as well as the Scripture To which we shall onely say that when it is proved that we received the Scripture from that Apostate Church by vertue of any Authority thereof as such somewhat of moment may be admitted in that enquiry but this will never be done 'T is true the Bible was kept among the People in those parts where the Pope prevaileth yet followeth it not from hence that we received it from their Authority as Ordination is received if we did why did we not keep it as delivered from them to us in the vulgar Latine so that of these things there is not the same reason It will not then be denied but the present Ministers of England act in the holy things of God by vertue of an Office-Power received by Succession from the Church of Rome and so from Idolaters that Church being eminently so as hath been proved 3. Nor can it be denied but they offer up to God a Worship meerly of Humane Composition as the Common-Prayer-Book-Worship hath been proved to be once abused to Idolatry with the Modes and Rites of Idolaters That the Common-Prayer-Book-Worship is a VVorship that was once abused to Idolatry being the VVorship of that Church whose VVorship at least in the complex thereof is so cannot with the least pretence of Reason be denied That the whole of it is derived from and taken out of the Pope's Portuis as are the common-Common-Prayers out of the Breviary the Administration of the Sacraments Burial Matrimony Visitation of the Sick out of the Ritual or Book of Rites The Consecration of the Lord's Supper Collects Epistles Gospels out of the Mass-Book The Ordination of Arch-Bishops Bishops and Priests out of the Romane Pontifical hath been asserted and proved by many Which might be evidenced if needful beyond exception not onely by comparing the one with the other but also from the offer was made by Pope Pius the 4th and Gregory the 13th to Q. Elizabeth to confirm the English Lyturgy which did it not symbolize with the Service of the Church of Rome they would not have done Yea when the said Queen was interdicted by the Popes Bull Secretary Walsingham procures two intelligencers from the Pope who seeing the Service of London and Canterbury in the Pomp thereof wonder that their Lord the Pope should be so unadvised as to inderdict a Prince whose Servive and Ceremonies did so symbolize with his own When they come to Rome they satisfie the Pope That they saw no Service Ceremonies or Orders in England but might very well serve in Rome upon which the Bull was recalled Not to mention what we have already minded viz. the Testimony of King Edward the 6th and his Council witnessing the English Service to be the same and no other but the old the self-same words in English that were in Latine which was the worship of England and Rome in Queen Maries dayes it 's evident that the present Ministers of England offer up a Worship to God once abused to Idolatry That they do this with the Rites Ceremonies and Modes * Maccovius loc com append de adiaph p. 860. saith Non licet mutuari aut retinere res aut ritas Sacros Idololatrarum sive Ethnicorum sive Pontificiorum c. etsi in se res fuerint adia Phorae quia vitandam esse omnem conformitatem cum Idololatris docemur Lev. 19. 4 27. and 21. 5.
