Schooles begun by him about the same periode resisted the Romish idolatry planted in all the West We will likewise obserue an especiall grace which God powred vpon your Ilands realmes during these ages of ignorance idolatry for euē as the great men of the former periode disciples to the English Beda who maintained the onely worship of God went out of the Iland euen so God during this fourth periode preserued the same realmes defended them against the tyranny of Rome for Peter of Clugny writing to Bernard saith that the Scotishmen in his time did celebrate their Easter after the Greeke manner which is a testimony they were not yet subiect to the church of Rome which held thē heretickes that followwed the cerimonies of the Greekes who in the time of the said Bernard had their Lyturgie and seruice of the Church as they haue at this day which is a communion like vnto that of the reformed Church of these times neither did the Greeke Church euer allow of that heathenish worshippe of the Sacrament of the Lordes supper as in the Romish Church which caused Marcus Ephesius who was Orator for the Greekes at the counsell of Florence in a sermon printed at Paris in Greeke and Latine at the ende of the volume of Lyturgies to confute the Masse of the Latines as directly contrary to the institution of Iesus Christ So as the Scottishmen who maintained the ceremonies of the Greeke Churches had not yet receiued the new Romish Masse nor the heathen adoration of the hoast whereby we see that the people of your realmes were the first that made publike profession of Christ and abolished Gentilisme during the cruell persecutions of Romish Emperours and when as the tyranny of the Bishops of Rome brought into the Church about 400. yeares since the worship of the hoast as God the Creator the same British people were also the last of the West part of Europe which receiued the abominable worship of things created insteede of the Creator This heathenish worship began vnder Pope Honorius 3 about the yeare 1225. who commanded all Priestes and Curats to teach the people to kneele at the Eleuation of the hoast in the Masse or when it should be carried to sicke persons yet this idolatry was not long after receiued in the Churches of Germanie and France For Ralfe de Riuo printed a booke at Rome de Can obser propos 22. witnessing that Nicholas 3. about the yeare 1277. tooke the olde missalles out of all Churches of Rome bringing in a new forme of Masse inuented by the Fryers minors or Franciscans At this day saith hee all the bookes at Rome are new after the manner of Saint Francis and meaning to discribe the forme of Masse obserued in those dayes in Germany France other nations hee saith Leauing the manner of the Fryers mino●s let vs follow the holy Canons the ancient Scriptures and the generall customes of places and in doubtfull things the most auncient bookes And in the twenty three proposition he describes particularly all the ceremonies of the Masse as it was vsed in his time who liued in the beginning of the foreteenth age of Christianisme at what time it is found that the coniunction of the Bread and Wine was obserued according to the institution of our Sauiour and that both the Priest and people did eate and drinke togeather standing without adoration or inuocation of the Sacramentes and in the ende of the saide proposition hee saithe It is sacriledge to vse bread onely dipt in wine in the Sacrament of the Communion So as there was no difference betwixt the Communion of the reformed Church and the Communion of the Masle in those daies except the signe of the Crosse and some other ceremonies vestaments and incense The Masse therfore of our age is a new fiction of Cordiliers or Franciscan Friars the worship of a pretended God and the priuation of the cup is a plaine sacriledge for if they abuse to vse bread steept in wine instead of following the ful institutiō of our Sauiour was as they said Rodolphus de Riuo writeth cōdemned as sacriledge with greater reason is it a more horrible sacriledge to haue quite taken away the vse of the wine from the people The Romish Church of our age cannot bee called the true Church seeing they haue no Communion of the Cuppe and are fallen from the true Priesthoode as the Arrians and Nestorians by their errours lost the outward markes of Priesthoode During the fift Period of the ages of Christianisme which contains the thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth ages the Westerne Church was deuided into two parts for in the time of Bernard Peter de Valdo a rich Bourgesse of Lions hauing beene instructed in the onely worshippe of God by the reading of the holy Scriptures had the Romish Idolatrie in such horror as he sould all his goods and caused the Bible and many writings of the auncient fathers to be translated into French he made assemblies at Lions and appointed pensions for religious learned men to set vp Schooles of diuinitie who beeing since persecuted by the Popes and their adherents the said Schooles were dispersed ouer all France and a good part of Spaine Germanie and Bohemia who haue euer since maintained the same articles of the faith which are professed at this day in the Churches of your realmes whereof some were called Albigeois and others Taborites which haue florished and raigned vnto this day notwithstanding all the persecutions fires flames and cruell torments vsed against them by the supporters and fauourers of Rome Out of this Schoole also came Iohn Hus and Ierosme of Prage Wickliffe an Englishman Paul Crau a Scottish man who maintained the true and onely worshippe of one onely God and other articles of the faith confessed by the reformed Churches of Europe the which is seene by the articles recited by Aeneas Siluius beeing since Pope which shewes a notable correspondencie betwixt the first Period of Christianisme and the fift for euen as in the first three hundred yeeres the true Christians who worshipped one onely God without mingling the adoration of Creatures had beene persecuted by Pagan Rome euen so the worshippers of this true adoration haue beene cruelly persecuted during the three hundred yeres of the fift Period by Roome disguised with a Christian maske There is an other admirable correspondencie betwixt these and the second Period for euen as in the end of the first Period the God of armies did raise vp that great Constantine to plant his Church by force throughout all the Romaine Empire beeing then Pagan abolishing Idolatrie in the worship of men of Images and of visible and material formes euen so after the end of this fift Period God suffered the restoring of the said true auncient Christian religion to be done by armes We read in the Bohemian Historie of the said Aeneas Siluius that Zisca a great Captaine assēbled in the yeere 1501. a mightie armie beating downe all
