A56195	A rational account why some of His Majesties Protestant subjects do not conform to some exuberances in, and ceremonial appurtenances to the Common prayer published for the instruction of the ignorant, satisfaction of all contenders, and the churches union in Gods publick worship.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.; Stucki, Johann Wilhelm, d. 1607. Antiquitatum convivialum. Liber 2, cap. 26, De vestitu conviviali.	1673 (1673)	Wing P4048; ESTC R7507	105,873	159

to their People once a Month Quarter Year yea cry up Common-Prayers to suppress frequent constant preachings when as the Council of Trent it self resolves That preaching of Gods word is the principal part of a Bishops Office and belongeth chiefly to Bishops Whereupon it enjoyns them and the Parish-Priests throughout their Diocess to preach every Lords day and Holy day and in the time of Fasts Lent and Advent to preach the word of God daily or at least thrice a week and at all other times whenever it may be oportunely done for the salvation of their people whom they are diligently to admonish that they repair to the Church to hear Gods word when ever they can conveniently do it Yea Bernardinus Senensis a famous Popish Fryer is not afraid to assert That the People are more obliged to hear and Priests to preach the word of God than to hear or say Masse and that experience manifests that the People will incomparably suffer more prejudice both in Faith and Manners and grow more void of the fear love knowledge of God and veneration of the● Sacraments and more over-grown with the stench and horror of sinnes by the want of preaching than by the want of Masse and Common-Prayer concluding Sic utique est populus sine divino verbo licet etiam Missae frequententur sicut mundus sine sole That the People without the preaching of Gods word although they frequent Masse and Common-Prayers will be but like the World without the Sun And therefore all our Bishops Ministers should much more diligently press and apply themselves to the diligent frequent preaching and all People to the assiduous hearing of Gods word than to the reading or hearing of Common-Prayers which too many esteem the principal means to instruct and save their Souls and more necessary than preaching of the Gospel of Christ though the Power of God unto Salvation and principle means of faith of converting and saving the souls of those who believe it 6. That there are some things in the Book of Common-Prayer very necessary and fit to be amended As 1. the mis-recital of Ezech. 18. 21 22. in the very beginning of the Book which many much abuse to the deferring of their repentance 2ly The continuance of the old English Translations of the Psalmes Epistles Gospels and other Texts of Scripture according to the Versions of Mr. Tyndal Thomas Matthews and Mr. Coverdale which are not so exact so agreeable with the Original and Dialect of this Age as the more compleat refined Translation made by King James his Command now onely read and used in our Churches and most private Families Therefore most fit to be used and henceforth inserted into the common-prayer-Common-Prayer-book to take away all former controversies and exceptions against the old Translation as well by Mr. Thomas Cartwright the Lincoln-shire-Ministers Altare Damascenum the Assembly of Perth and others heretofore and of sundry Ministers of late times especially against that of ●sal 105. v. 28. occasioned by the Printers omission of one syllable to wit obedient for disobedient not the Translators Only I shall observe that the old Translation of Phil. 2 10. in the Epistle for Palm-sunday according to the Greek Original all Latin Translations but one all English Versions whatsoever but the Geneva and that of King James which ought to be amended in this particular truly rendred the words That IN not AT the Name of Jesus every knee be bowed or should bow in the passive not active verbe and sense of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth c. till corrupted and turned into A not IN the name of Jesus every knee should bow c. in the active not passive signification by Dr. Cosins about 25. years past expresly against the Original the Latin and most other Translations whatsoever the old English translations of Trevisa Tyndall Matthews C●verdale the Bishops Bible Dr. Fulke Mr. Cartwright the Epistles and Gospels printed in English at Paris Anno 1558. yea against the very sense and scope of the Text it self and our English dialect 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In Nomine c. being never rendred or translated At but IN the name alone in all Texts Liturgies Collects Writs Warrants Histories Authors whatsoever and the phrase ●T the name never heard of read used in any English Latin Greek Hebrew Syriack Arabick French Spanish Italian German Sclavonian or other Writer whatsoever but only in this Text and all to justifie the Ceremony of bowing the head and putting off the hat at the sound or hearing of the name Jesus first introduced and prescribed by Pope Gregory the 10. about the year of Christ 1272. at the reading of the Gospel only after that enjoyned by other Popes Popish Canons Decrees and Masse-books with indulgences annexed for the users thereof to induce them thereunto though never intended nor prescribed by this Text nor practised in the Primitive Church for above 1200 years space nor in the Reformed Churches abroad nor enjoyned by the Common-Prayer-book or any Injunctions or Canons of our Church confirmed by Parliament to make them valid as I have elsewhere proved at large 3ly The frequent repetition of the Lords Prayer purposely instituted prescribed to prevent much babling and vain repetitions in prayer in use only among the heathens who thought they should be heard for their much speaking expresly prohibited by our Saviour Mat 6. 7 to 16. and by Eccle● 5. 1 2. Prov. 10. 19. Which Repetitions seem to countenance the Papists vain Battologies and abuse of the Lords Prayer in their M●ssals Offices Rosaries Psalters Beads by many successive rehearsals thereof against the express command and institution of Christ 4ly The often rehearsals of Good Lord deliver us Wee beseech thee to hear us good Lord by all the People in the reading of the Letany Which Antiphonies and Responsals between Minister Clerk and People except Amen at the cloze of every Prayer have no Precept nor President in Scripture or solid Antiquity but only in Popish Missals Pontificals Offices Processionals Ceremonials Psalters Primers And the interposition of it no lesse than twice in the midst of the Letany and Prayer for THE KING dividing it into three parts seems not onely superfluous but incongruous and ridiculous to many I shall not at all insist upon kneeling at the Sacrament the Crosse in Baptism the King in Mariage for which there is neither command nor example in Scripture or the Primitive Church next after the Apostles which Mr. Cartwright Mr. Knewstubs the Lincolnshire Ministers Mr. Parker Mr. Paybody Doctor John Burgesse Archbishop Whitguift Master Hooker Doctor Prideaux and sundry others have at large debated pro contra and may be omitted or left arbitrary to all but only confine my self to some few Particulars which others have but slightly touched not satisfactorily discussed SECT 1.

Protestant Ministers then denying to wear these Vestments yea decrying them as Superstitious Popish Massing attire altogether as unfit for the Ministers of the Holy Gospel and Evangelical Bishops as those other Vestments then abolished And Mr. Calvin Zuinglius with other eminent Protestant Divines quite exploding their use in forein Churches and declaring their judgements against them to the Lord Protector Cranmer Ridly and other Bishops thereupon in the parliament of 5 6 E. 6. c. 1. the Common-Prayer-book was revised amended in sundry particulars the forecited Rubricks expunged and the use of the Rochet Surplisse and Vestments prescribed by the Book of 2 3 E. 6. quite laid aside the reason whereof are expressed in the Preface to the Book why some Ceremonies were continued and others laid aside and in the Articles of Religion set forth by Edw. the 6th Anno 1552. Artic. 21. 23. Neither were they actually or legally revived by the Common-prayer-book revised corrected ratified by the Statute of 1 Eliz. c. 2. that Act injoyning all things to be done according to the Book of 5 6 Ed. 6. and none other or otherwise in which there was nothing concerning these Garments What hot unchristian Schismes Contests about Rochets Surplisses the form of Bishops Priests ordinary Vestments and Formalities afterwards sprung up between our most zealous Protestant Bishops and Ministers in the first 7. years of Q. Elizabeths reign you may read at leasure in Dr. Heylins late partial History of the Reformation of the Church of England and of Qu. Elizabeth wherein he layes many black aspertions upon K. Edw. the 6. himself his Government the L. Protector sundry of our godly Bishops Martyrs Divines at home and Peter Martyr Calvin Zuinglius Alasco B●za with other chief Protestant Divines of reformed Churches abroad worthy the F●rula These controversies about Church vestments c continued all her reign growing every year higher and higher every Parliament in her time as appears by the Journals being troubled with many Petitions Bills against them which the Bishops by their power in the Lords house suppressed and the world was filled with Books pro contra concerning them as the Books of Mr. Cartwright Mr. Vdal Penry Martin Mar-Prelate Altare Damas●●num A Brief Discourse against the outward apparel and ministring Garments of the Popish Church printed 1●78 A Discourse whether it be a Mortal Sin to transgresse the commandements of Civil Magistracy concerning the Apparel of Ministers The Declaration of certain Ministers in London refusing to wear the Apparel prescribed Mr. Philip Stubs with sundry more on the one side and Queen Elizabeths Advertisements in the seventh year of her Reign by her High Commissioners advice Archbishop Whiteguist his Answer to the Admonition to the Parliament and Defence of his Answer against the Reply of T.

Hooker of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Policy 1593. with others on the other hand evidence Neither did these unnecessary unhappy Controversies about Priests Vestments and Ceremonies which perplexed our Church and gave great advantage to our Romish Adversaries expire with Queen Elizabeth but survived and grew to a heighth at the beginning of K. James his Reign who to silence or allay them appointed a special Conference at Hampton Court between the Bishops and Non-Conformists Party whereof Learned Dr. Ranolds was one about Reformation of Church matters Anno 1603. which many hoped would have put a period to these Contests but instead thereof did much increase them through the Bishops obstinacy potency pride who refusing to comply with the moderate just defires of their Fellow-Ministers and Protestant Christian Brethren in some superfluous Trifles particularly concerning the wearing of the Surpliss then and yet commonly termed A Ragge of Popery soon after in their Convocation held at London 1603. prescribed the constant wearing of Surplisses and Copes Hoods besides not only to Cathedral Church-men but likewise to all Ministers Curates reading Divine Service or administring the Sacraments in Parish Churches or Chapels and likewise to Fellows and Scholars in the Universities for which there was no former binding Law nor Canon by these ensuing Constitutions Canon 16 and 17. In the whole Divine Service and Administration of the Holy Communion in the Colleges and Halls in both Universities the Order Form and Ceremonies shall be duely observed as they are set down and prescribed in the Book of Common-Prayer without any omission or alteration even in the faulty old English Translation all Masters and Follows of Colleges and Halls and all the Scholars and Students in either of the Vniversities shall in their Churches and Chapels upon all Sundayes Holy-dayes and their Eves at the time of Divine Service wear Surplisses according to the Order of the Church of England which had no such Order that I can find before and such as are Graduates shall agreeably wear with their Surplisses such Hoods as do severally appertain to their Degrees Canon 24. In all Collegiate and Cathedral Churches the Holy Communion shall be administred upon Principal Feast-dayes sometimes by the Bishop if he be present and sometimes by the Dean and sometimes by a Canon or Prebendary the principal Minister using a decent Cope and being assited with the Gospeller and Epistolar agreeably according to advertisements published by Queen Elizabeth An. 7. Canon 25. In the time of Divine Service and Prayers in all Cathedral and Collegiate Churches when there is no Communion it shall be sufficient to wear Surplisses saving that all Deanes Masters and Heads of Collegiate Churches Canons and Prebends being Graduates shall daily at the times both of Prayer and Preaching wear with their Surplisses such Hoods as are agreeable to their Degrees Canon 58 Every Minister saying the Publick Prayers or ministring the Sacraments or other Rites of the Church shall wear a decent and comely Surplisse with Sleeves to be provided at the charge of the Parish And if any question arise touching the matter decency or comelinesse thereof the same shall be decided by the discretion of the Ordinary Further more such Ministers who are Graduates shall wear upon on their Surplisses at such time such Hoods as by the Orders of the Vniversities are agreeable to their Degrees which no Minister shall wear being no Graduate under pain of Suspension Notwithstanding it shall be lawfull for such Ministers as are no Graduates To wear upon their Surplisses instead of Hoods some decent Tippet of Black so it be not silk After which followes this 74.
