be buried so soone as they arrived in the land of Canaan in a field which Abraham Iacob had bought before time of the sonns of Hamor the father of Sechem Also the Prophet Samuel sheweth vs that K. Dauid hauing taken the bones of Saul and Ionathan froÌ„ the inhabitants of Gabish Gilead which had taken them vp from the streete of Beth-shan brought them from thence into the contrey of Beniamin caused theÌ„ to be buried in the sepulchre of Kis the father of Saul and that in the SolemnizatioÌ„ of their funeralls his subjects did all that the King coÌ„manded them but there is no mention made of any pilgrimage or any religious seruice which they should doe in honour of theÌ„ about their Sepulchre Likewise in the second booke of kings the Authour of this Historie writeth that King Iosiah willing to prophane the Altar which King Ieroboham had caused to be built in Bethel and to dishonour eternally the Priests other Idolaters which he had maintained there caused the bones of the false priests other their confederates to be digged vp coÌ„manding them to burne theÌ„ vppon the same Altar But on the contrary espying an other Tombe in the same Cittie demanded of the cittizeÌ„s thereof What title is that which I see hauing vnderstod by their answer that it was the sepulchre of the man of God which before prophesied the things which the sayde King came then to doe vpon that very Altar to shewe the publick reverence he bore vnto that man of God even after his buriall bad the inhabitants of Bethel Let him alone let none remoue his bones whereto this HistoriaÌ„ addeth that the citizens of the said city obeied therein king Iosiahs commandement Although the holy Scriptures giues vs to vnderstand that among all that are borne of woemeÌ„ God hath not raised vp more excelleÌ„t servants of his house then Moses and Iohn Baptist nor a more faithfull Martyr of his son Christ Iesus then S. StepheÌ„ one of the seaven deacons of the Apostolique Church one of the first witnesses of Christ persecuted in Ierusalem Neueverthelesse their bodies were presently interred after their departure that of Moses by God himself after a miraculous manner in the contrey of Moab in a place vnknowne vnto the children of Israel and inaccessible for the deuil to the end they might not abuse it by Idolatrie that of S. Iohn Baptists by his disciples and S. Stephens by some men that feared God as appeareth by the History of Moses the Gospel according to S. Marke the book of the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistle of S. Iude. Among all the auncient Prophets there is none whose buriall is more memorable then that of the Prophet Elishas in regard it pleased God to raise vp miraculously by touching of his dead and buryed bodie a man which in great hast for feare of their enemies they had cast into the grave of this prophet as we read in the second booke of Kings 2. Chap howbeit the Authour of this historie addeth not for all that that the Priests of the old Testament haue commanded the people of God to resort vnto that tombe to offer vp their praiers and sacrifices or that they instituted any Feasts vpon certain daies in memorie of this miracle or enclosed the bones of this Prophet into a shrine or chose out any expresse place to raise vp some altar in his honour or did perswade any to resort thither from all partes to offer vp there their praiers and sacrifices in the name of the vulgar people as if it were before the face of God himself Morover the prophet Isaiah hauing respect vnto the auncient custome of interring the dead and hiding them in their graues compareth the sepulchres of the righteous vnto bedds to shew by this similitude that wee can doe noe greater pleasure to God nor a greater honour to his wel-beloved Sainctes after their departure then to wrap vp their bodies in the beddes of the Earth to rest there from their labours vntil the day of their resurrection in which Christ wil come to awaken call them vnto him bring them into the possession of life eternall I say moreover that the greatest hypocrits among the last Doctors of Israel to wit the Scribes and Pharises who through hypocrisie and vaine glorie buylt vp the sepulchres of the prophets and repaired the tombles of the righteous stoned massacred to death by their auncestors did not deterre their corpses to dismember them and shew their bones vnto the meaner sort of people or to adorne the Altars of the Tempel of Ierusalem with them but suffered theÌ„ to rest in their graues as Christ himself witnesseth in the 23. Chap. of S. Mathews Gospel the 27. verse and the next following Touching the Apostles disciples of our Saviour Christ the historie of his burial shews vs that S. Peter S. Iohn approching neere vnto his sepulchre to see whether he was truly risen or noe found there his kerchief with his linen clothes laied aside but the EuaÌ„gelist S. Iohn noteth more expresly that they came thither one after another to behold the more earnestly his hand-kerchief and linneÌ„ which he had left behinde him after his resurrectioÌ„ addeth not which neverthelesse would have ben soo much the more remarkeable that they either handled theÌ„ or bore awaie those reliques with them to shewe them vnto their con-disciples or put them into any shrine or boxe which with out all doubt they would haue done if they had receued any such charg froÌ„ ther Mr. or if they could haue gathered by any of his familliar speeches he had with theÌ„ before that such a collection transportatioÌ„ of his reliques would haue pleased him after his resurrection haue ben as a fitt meanes to confirme their bretheren in the Christian faith As for S. Luke who discribs vnto vs all the memorable acts of the Apostles since the assention of Christ vntil the second yeere of S. Pauls imprisonment at Rome to the intent they might serue as a miror and exsample to all our actions he makes no recitall nor reckons vp in his second booke any of Christs reliques his Parents or faithful Martyrs collected by his Apostles or giuen into the custody of their frends but hee shewes that the christians of his time perseuered with the Apostles in the sincere doctrine of the H. Gospell and in breaking of bread the true reliquaries and memorialls of the instructions suffrances of our sole Redeemer Iesus Christ. In like manner the Apostle S. Peter while he was living would not promisse the faithfull dispersed throughout Pontus Galatia Capadocia Asia and Bithynia to leave after his death any other reliques behinde him theÌ„ his Epistles which he wrote vnto them as him self declareth by these wordes that he wold endevour alwaies to wit by his writings that they also might bee able to haue rememberance of those things after his departure I could
