A10967	An historical dialogue touching antichrist and poperie, drawen and published for the common benefit and comfort of our church in these dangerous daies, & against the desperate attemptes of the vowed aduersaries of Iesus Christ, his gospell, and this florishing state. by Thomas Rogers. Allowed by auctoritie.	Rogers, Thomas, d. 1616.	1589 (1589)	STC 21237; ESTC S112075	54,518	126

especially for that soueraigne auctoritie hee had both to teach and reueale the wil of God coÌ„cerning the redemption of man T. What was his auctoritie Z. Such as we are both enioined and that by a voice from the excellent glorie to heare him threatned to answere for the same if we despice his doctrine T. What were his giftes Z. Most diuine For he was the brightnes of the glorie and th'ingraued forme of God ful of grace and truth yea so full that all the fulnes of the Godhead dwelleth bodilie in him T. What was his doctrine Z. As were his qualities such was his doctrine euen most heauenlie For all thinges which hee hath heard from his Father hath he made knowen vnto vs and they are committed vnto writing that we might beleeue and that through beleeuing we might haue life through his name T. Now tell mee how Christ is diuested of this office and the Pope of Rome made the great Prophet of the Church of God Z. I haue mentioned nothing from the holie Scriptures touching either th'auctoritie or the giftes or the doctrine of Christ but the Pope is made to match that I say not to surpasse our Sauiour Christ in al and euerie of these respectes and therefore as great for power as Soueraigne for giftes as diuine for doctrine as Christ him-selfe T. I would see that confirmed Z. Who knoweth not that God is more pleased in his sonne Christ than they are delighted in their Father the Pope This is my beloued sonne heare him saith God And of the Pope this is our welbeloued Father in whom wee are delighted hear him say the papistes For whatsoeuer hee determineth is a knowen truth and that which he condemneth is a knowen error His lawes euen all of them are to be taken as confirmed by the mouth euen of God himselfe And whatsoeuer hee saith it is truth and he cannot erre Is not this to make the Pope of equall auctoritie with Iesus Christ T. To denie that is euen to gain-say an open truth Z. Moreouer that which latelie I alleaged though to an other purpose doth fitlie proue also that he is takeÌ„ for giftes diuine partes to be as singular as our Sauiour Christ when they say of him an sainct Iohn said of Christ that of his fulnes wee do all receaue And that his doctrine is made equiualent with the Gospel of Iesus Christ it appeareth manie waies T. Shew that thing Z. He that will reade the bookes of Sentences especially the workes of Gabriel Biel shal finde that they make four sortes or degrees of the law of God T. What are they Z. The first degree be the lawes reuealed immediatlie from God him-selfe be written in the holie Bible especiallie in the Gospels penned through the wil of Christ for our better attainment of euerlasting happines T. What heare I Zelotes Is the word of God the first degree of Gods law be there moe lawes which are to be nombred among the lawes of God besides the holy Scriptures And among those bookes of the sacred Scriptures are the workes of the Euangelistes to be reputed but for lawes Z. That is their iudgement T. Proceede then and tel me what be the other lawes of God besides the holie Scriptures Z. The next are the Phansies and dreames either taken by tradition from man to man or deriued from the Scriptures by their false corrupt erronious pharisaical interpreting of them such are most of the Articles of the popish Creede sometimes drawen from the written word I graunt but rarelie agreeing with the sense of the holy ghost to th'analogie of the catholique faith T. And be the Articles of their faith lawes and their expositions to be accompted for the verie lawes of God Z. It is their opinion T. What bee their other lawes which they say are the verie lawes euen of God himselfe Z. They are of two sortes of one are the Canon lawes the Decretals Sixtes Clementines Extrauagantes and the like of thother sort be the Reuelations false Religions and Rules as of S. Bridget S. FraÌ„cis S. Dominick and that lame Spaniard Layola the founder of the Iesuitical viperous generation either penned or auctorized and made currant by the Popes of Rome T. And are men bound to take these and euerie of them euen as the verie lawes of Iesus Christ himselfe Z. Euen as the lawes of Christ. And how in coÌ„parison of the Pope his lawes traditions ordinances and expositions they thinke of the holie Scripture it would carefullie be obserued T. What thinke they of the holie Scriptures Z. He was a Popish Bishop that sometime demaunded of a reuerend Father and afterward a blessed Martyr of Iesus Christ whether the people might not bee ordered without the holie Scriptures And he was Ã Cardinal of Rome that writ how there might be a Church without the Scriptures And another of that stampe whose name I now remember not said plainlie it had gone better with the Church had there bin no Scripture at all T. These are particular men you shew not the coÌ„mon iudgement of the Romish church Z. It is written of the Circumcellian heretikes that they not onelie exercised most violent persecutions vpon the bodies of Sainctes but also burned to ashes in the fire euen the most holie bookes of God which wee call the Scriptures T. So did Herod afore them and the wicked Israelites afore them also but what of that Z. Their burning of those bookes notified vnto the world in what price and estimacion they had the most pretious word of God T. Yet this is nothing to the Papistes of whom our speech is Z. Yes verie much For they doing the same thing that is burning those bookes do shew thereby in what reuerend accompt they haue the holie word God T. Haue they burned the Scriptures of God as did the Circumcellian heretikes and other impes of Satan Z. Not onlie the Scriptures they haue burned but also in as barberous maner as euer was heard haue they burned into ashes the bodies of men onely for hauing I saie not the whole Bible but euen a litle fragment of the same euen the Lordes praier in the English tong and not allowing the same idolatrouslie to bee said vnto dead Sainctes And how that good Deane of Paules in LoÌ„don D. Colet should haue bin condemned for an heritike and burned it is notoriouslie wel knowen T. But wherfore Z. For translating the Pater Noster forsooth into English And againe how they haue cited tossed threatned and troubled of good people some for hauing the Newe Testament some the Gospel after S. Mathew some Th'actes of the Apostles some Th'epistles of S. Paul some the ReuelatioÌ„ of Sainct Iohn yea some for learning or teaching euen the verie groundes of all true Religion as namely the ten Commaundements the Creed the Lords praier some but for saying

order of sainct Francis T. Then no doubt this Frier raigning raging ouer the church of God men are to addresse themselues either to vnder-goe the punishments appointed for heretikes which is burning fier in this world or to embrace as Heauenlie Oracles these franciscane fables Z. It is wonderfull as a thing may bee which they publish of the successe they shal haue of the swarmes of Franciscanes that are to be in the world T. What successe shall they haue Z. Such as passeth For alreadie and this was written of them no few yeares agoe the verie places of the Friers minors dispersed through the world do mount vnto the number of a thousand and sixe hundred besides them which day by day are newlie erected For as it is in the Psalme Shee stretched out her branches vnto the sea not onelie Mediterrane and Ocean but euen vnto the Indian also and from the riuer vnto th'endes of the world For euen in India this order now hath Ã long while hath had manie places of abode T. If the places be so manie what and how manie may the persons be which supplie those roumes Z. For Nations the French come the Spanish hasten the Dutch and English run and the greatest multitude of diuers other languages do speede them selues to bee of this order And for numder Iohn Th'euaÌ„gelist hauing in the 7. chap. of the Reuelat. described both the time wheÌ„ which was at the opening of the 6. seale and the manner how saint Francis should be sent to wit as that Angel hauing the seale of the liuing God he adioyneth next of the multitude that by the preaching life example of sainct Francis and his companions shall bee conuerted vnto Christ T. What are the wordes of Sainct Iohn Z. His wordes be these And I heard the number of them which were sealed and there were sealed an hundred and foure and forty thousand of al the tribes of the children of Israel T. Expounde they those wordes of the Franciscanes Z. Yea verily or this may be expounded say they on this wise that there shall be so manie friers or men to bee conuerted in this order the people being brought vnto the Lord either in processe of time or in the verie daies of Antichrist when as this order all other orders being destroied shall preache against Antichrist T. Of the Franciscanes one hundred fortie and foure thousande Z. Yea or which more is say they it may bee said that according to the phrase of scripture by Ã certaine hee meaneth an vncertaine nomber as if there should be sealed and in the habit of FraÌ„cis that of the crucified not only an hundred fortie foure thousand but infinite besides And this Iohn seemeth to meane they say when hee addeth that hee beheld Ã great multitude which no man could nomber of all nations kinreds people and tongues c. T. Then I see full plainlie that they make not onelie sainct Francis another Christ but also them of his order to bee the onely people of God and that none either haue bin or shalbe saued but onely they of sainct Francis order Z. You haue gone to the verie point for hence they both terme their companie the family of God they say If thou wilt be saued be a FraÌ„ciscane For not only they which liue but they also that submit them selues vnto the rule of this Francis though at the verie point of death euen all of them are saued No maruell therefore though hee bee adored the world throughout euen as verie God and made an aduocate with the Father like another Christ Chap. 4. Of the Virgin Mary whom the Papistes make another Christ by ascribing vnto her the offices and honor due alwaies and onely vnto the Sauiour of mankinde TIMOTHIE Now do I see which before I knew not the most sacrilegious impietie and popish blasphemies about saint Francis ZELOTES Heare againe what their faith is coÌ„cerning the blessed Virgine as they say our Ladie T. Take they her also for the Sauiour of mankinde as they do sainct Francis and as wee do Christ Z. That do they T. If one should say so vnto them would they not denie it and say we slander them Z. Say they what them list their owne bookes penned aduisedlie and published by them selues shal beare continuall testimonie to that which I haue said T. What write they of hir Z. They describe her nature by her name T. As how Z. Marie in Latine is Maria. T. And what then Z. Maria consisteth of fiue letters T. Then what Z. Those fiue letters do import the fiue offices to be exercised by her to vs-ward T. What are those her fiue offices Z. The first is Maternitatis of Motherhood signified by the letter M. For shee is Ã mercifull Mother euen the mother of mercie being the Mother of God through whom she making intercession and oblation wee attaine mercie Therfore the church calleth her the mother of grace and mercie T. What is her second office Z. That is Conseruationis of conseruing the treasure of God signified by the letter A. which representeth Arcam the sauri the Christ of treasury And therfore called is she the treasurer This is taken from poore men whose manner is to runne vnto the treasurers Therefore we which are poore in this vale of miserie c. must repaire vnto her because in hir say they wee shall finde an infinite treasure of the wisedome and grace of God T. Her third what Z. That is Directionis Gubernationis of direction and gouerning by examples of her life This imported is by the letter R and therefore is she named Regina the Queene T. And what is her fourth office Z. That is Iaculationis repulsionis inimicorum of flinging and repelling backe of enemies signified by the letter I for which cause shee is termed Iaculum inimicorum infernalium the dart of infernal enemies which at the inuocating of this name yeeld and flee away For she is as terrible vnto them as an armie of men set in battel raie Ideo Ecclesia frequenter orat c. This causeth the church often to pray saying Tu nos ab hoste protege hora mortis suscipe protect thou from th'enemie and receaue vs at the houre of death T. Her last office what is that Z. That is Aduocationis of Aduocation imported by the letter A. whence the Church Eya aduocata nostra Eih our aduocate turne those thy merciful eies vnto vs. T. What moueth you now to vse those Latine wordes Z. That do I in two respectes first for that I would haue their more then childish toies obserued who at their pleasure can make letters to signifie as some haue made Bels to sound euen what pleaseth their phantasticall braine and as best may feede their superstitious humors Hence is it that M. is to signifie Mater and nothing
