to read the word of God in their own Tongue 16. Or that it was then Lawful for the Priest to pronounce the words of Consecration closely or in private to himself 17. Or that the Priest had then Authority to offer up Christ unto his Father 18. Or to communicate and receive the Sacrament for another as they do 19. Or to apply the vertue of Christs Death and Passion to any Man by the means of the Mass 20. Or that it was then thought a sound Doctrine to teach the People that Mass Ex opere operato that is even for that it is said and done is able to remove any part of our sin 21. Or that any Christian man called the Sacrament of the Lord his God 22. Or that the People were then taught to believe that the Body of Christ remaineth in the Sacrament as long as the accidents of Bread and Wine remain there without Corruption 23. Or that a Mouse or any other Worm or Beast may eat the Body of Christ for so some of our Adversaries have said and taught 24. Or that when Christ said Hoc est Corpus meum the word Hoc pointed not to the Bread but to an individuum vagum as some of them say 25. Or that the Accidents or Forms or shews of Bread and Wine be the Sacraments of Christs Body and Blood and not rather the very Bread and Wine it self 26. Or that the Sacrament is a sign or token of the Body of Christ that lieth hidden underneath it 27. Or that ignorance is the Mother and cause of true Devotion The Conclusion is that I shall then be content to yield and subscribe This challenge saith the Learned Dr. Heylyn being thus published in so great an Auditory startled the English Papists both at home and abroad but none more than such of our Fugitives as had retired to Lovain Doway or St. Omers in the Low-Country Provinces belonging to the King of Spain The business was first agitated by the exchange of friendly Letters betwixt the said Reverend Prelate and Dr. Henry Cole the late Dean of St. Pauls more violently followed in a Book of Rastal's who first appeared in the Lists against the Challenger followed herein by Dorman and Marshall who severally took up the Cudgels to as little purpose the first being well beaten by Nowel and the last by Calfhill in their Discourses writ against them but they were only Velitations or preparitory Skirmishes in reference to the main encounter which was reserved for the Reverend Challenger himself and Dr. John Harding one of the Divines of Lovain and the most Learned of the Colledge The Combatants were born in the same County bred up in the same Grammar School and studied in the same University also Both zealous Protestants in the time of King Edward and both relapsed to Popery in the time of Queen Mary Jewel for fear and Harding upon hope of Favour and Preferment by it But Jewel's fall may be compared to that of St. Peter which was short and sudden rising again by his Repentance and fortified more strongly in his Faith than before he was but Harding's like to that of the other Simon premeditated and resolved on never to be restored again so much was there within him of the gaul of bitterness to his former standing But some former Differences had been between them in the Church of Sarisbury whereof the one was Prebendary and the other Bishop occasioned by the Bishops visitation of that Cathedral in which as Harding had the worst so was it a Presage of a second foil which he was to have in this encounter Who had the better of the day will easily appear to any that consults the Writings by which it will appear how much the Bishop was too hard for him at all manner of Weapons Whose learned Answers as well in maintenance of his Challenge as in defence of his Apology whereof more hereafter contain in them such a Magazin of all sorts of Learning that all our Controversors since that time have furnished themselves with Arguments and Authority from it THUS far that Learned man has discoursed the event of this famous Challenge with so much brevity and perspicuity that I thought it better to transcribe his words than to do it much worse my self WHEN Queen Mary died Paul the Fourth was Pope to whom Queen Elizabeth sent an account of her coming to the Crown which was delivered by Sir Edward Karn her Sisters Resident at Rome to which the angry Gentleman replied That England was held in Fee of the Apostolick See that she could not succeed being illegitimate nor could he contradict the Declarations made in that matter by his Predecessors Clement the Seventh and Paul the Third he said it was a great boldness in her to assume the Crown without his Consent for which in reason she deserved no favour at his hands yet if she would renounce her Pretensions and refer her self wholly to him he would shew a fatherly affection to her and do every thing for her that could consist with the dignity of the Apostolick See Which answer being hastily and passionately made was as little regarded by the Queen But he dying soon after Pius the Fourth an abler man succeeded and he was for gaining the Queen by Arts and Kindness to which end he sent Vincent Parapalia Abbot of St. Saviours with courteous Letters to her dated May the fifth 1560. with order to make large proffers to her under hand but the Queen had rejected the Popes Authority by Act of Parliament and would have nothing to do with Parapalia nor would she suffer him to come into England In the interim the Pope had resolved to renew the Council at Trent and in the next year sent Abbot Martiningo his Nuncio to the Queen to invite her and her Bishops to the Council and he accordingly came to Bruxells and from thence sent over for leave to come into England but tho France and Spain interceded for his Admission yet the Queen stood firm and at the same time rejected a motion from the Emperor Ferdinando to return to the old Religion as he called it Yet after all these denials given to so many and such potent Princes one Scipio a Gentleman of Venice who formerly had had some acquaintance with Bishop Jewel when he was a Student in Padua and had heard of Martiningo's ill success in this Negotiation would needs spend some Eloquence in labouring to obtain that Point by his private Letters which the Nuncio could not gain as a publick Minister and to that end he writes his Letters of Expostulation to Bishop Jewel his old Friend preferred not long before to the See of Sarisbury Which Letter did not long remain unanswered that Learned Prelate saith my Author was not so unstudied in the nature of Councils as not to know how little of a General Council could be found at Trent And therefore he returned an answer to the proposition so
