the hole trinitie yet the thyng was not done and accomplysshed without or before her consent was grauÌ„ted for the which so solemne a messanger was sent And how hygh grace was this that after the defaulte made throughe the perswasion of the fyrst womaÌ„ our mother Eua by whom Adam was broughte in to dysobedience this blessed virgin was electe to be the instrument of our reparation in that she was chosen to beare the sauyour and redemer of the worlde And is not this a wonderfull prerogatiue to see a virgin to be a mother and agaynste the generall sentence of the malediction of Eua to conceyue brynge forthe her chylde without synne And who can esteme that meruaylous solace and comforte whiche was in her harte whan she enbraced that chylde and nourysshed it with her pappes had contynually company of suche a sonne so many yeres togyther Wherfore we may worthyly say that she is the moost blessed of al other women And to the intent that all good christen men shulde repute and take her soo beholde the prouidence of god that wolde by an nother witnesse confirme the same For euen the same wordes that the aungell spake the blessed matron saint Elisabeth spake also and where the aungell made an ende there she began The aungell made an ende of his salutation with these wordes Blessed arte thou among women The blessed matrone began her salutation with the same wordes declaryng that she was enspired with the same spirite that sent the aungel that they were bothe ministers of the hole Trinitie the one from heuen the other in erthe And afterwarde she added these wordes and sayd And blessed is the fruict of thy wombe These be not the wordes of the aungell but of saynct Elisabeth For whan the virgin Marie came to salute her the sayd Elisabeth beyng inspired with the holy goost and knowyng that the virgin Marie was conceyued spake these wordes of the fruict that the virgin shulde brynge forthe And here is also an other wonderfull thynge to be noted for as it appereth in the gospell the chylde in saynt Elisabethes wombe that is to saye saynct IohnÌ„ whiche yet had scant lyfe gaue testimony to this fruict that this fruict shulde saue hym and all the worlde and as a prophete he lepte for ioye in his mothers bealy And althoughe he coulde not yet speake yet neuer the lesse he declared by suche sygnes and tokens as he coulde that blessed was the fruict of that wombe This is the fruict that the aungell spake of sayinge his name shall be Iesus that is to saye a Sauyoure for he shall saue his people from theyr synnes And well he may be called the blessed fruict whiche hathe saued vs and geuen vs lyfe contrarye to the cursed fruict whiche Eue gaue to Adam by whiche we were dystroyed and brought to deathe but blessed is the fruict of this wombe whiche is the fruict of lyfe euerlastynge Â¶ Fifthely we thynkh it conuenient that all bysshoppes and preachers shall instructe and teache the people commytted vnto theyr spirituall charge that this Aue Maria is not proprely a prayer as the pater noster is For a prayer proprely hath wordes of petition supplication request and suite but this Aue Maria hath no suche Neuer the lesse the churche hath vsed to adioyn it to the ende of the Pater noster as an hymne laude and prayse partly of our lord and sauyour Iesu Christ for our redemption and partely of the blessed virgin for her humble consent gyuen and expressed to the aungell at this salutation Laudes prayses and thankes be in this Aue Maria principally gyuen and yelded to our lorde as to the auctour of our sayd redemption but herewith also the virgin lacketh not her laudes prayse and thankes for her excellent and synguler vertues and chiefely for that she humbly consented accordynge to the sayinge of the holy matron saynt Elisabeth when she sayde vnto this virgin Blessed arte thou that dyddest gyue truste and credence to the aungelles wordes for all thynges that haue bene spoken to the shall be perfourmed Â¶ The article of Iustification AS touching the order and cause of our Iustification we thynke it conuenient that all bysshoppes and preachers shall instructe and teache the people commytted vnto theyr spirituall charge that this worde Iustification signifieth remyssyon of our synnes and our acceptation or reconciliation into the grace fauour of god that is to say our perfyte renouation in Christ Â¶ Item that synners attayne this iustification by contrition and faythe ioyned with charitie after suche sorte and maner as is before mencioned and declared in the sacrament of penaunce Not as thoughe oure contrycyon or faythe or any workes procedynge therof can worthyly meryte or deserue to attayne the sayde iustification For the onely mercye and grace of the father promysed frely vnto vs for his sonnes sake Iesu Christ and the merytes of his bloode and passyon be the onely suffycyent and worthy causes therof And yet that not withstandynge to the attaynynge of the same Iustification god requyreth to be in vs not onely inwarde contrycyon perfite faythe and charitie certayne hope and confidence with all other spiritual graces and mocions whiche as was sayde before muste necessarylye concurre in remyssyon of our synnes that is to saye our Iustification but also he requyreth and commaundeth vs that after we be iustified we muste also haue good workes of charitie and obedyence towardes god in the obseruynge and fulfyllynge outwardely of his lawes and commaundementes For althoughe acceptation to euerlastynge lyfe be conioyned with iustification yet our good workes be necessaryly requyred to the attaynynge of euerlastynge lyfe And we beynge iustified be necessaryly bounde and it is our necessary duetie to do good workes accordynge to the sayinge of saynct Paule we be bounde Rom. viii not to lyue accordynge to the flesshe and to flesshely appetites for yf we lyue so we shall vndoutedly be damned And contrary yf we woll mortifie the dedes of our flesshe and lyue accordynge to the spirite we shall be saued For who so euer be led by the spyryte of god they be the chyldren of god Matt. xix And Christ sayth If you woll come to heuen kepe the commaundementes And saynct Paule spekynge of yuell workes saythe Gala. v. Who soo euer commytte synfull dedes shall neuer come to heuen Wherfore all good chrysten people must vnderstande and beleue certaynely that god necessaryly requyreth of vs to do good workes commaunded by hym and that not onely outwarde and ciuyle workes but also the inwarde spirituall motions and graces of the holy goost that is to saye To drede and feare god to loue god to haue ferme confidence and trust in god to inuocate and call vpon god to haue pacience in all aduersities to hate synne and to haue certayne purpose and wyl not to synne agayne and suche other lyke motions and vertues Matt. v. For Christe saythe we muste not onely doo outwarde cyuyle good workes but we must also haue these foresayd inwarde spirituall mocyons consentyng and agreable to the lawe of god The article of Purgatorye FOr as moche as due order of charitie requyreth and the boke of Machabees and dyuers auncient doctours playnely shewen that it is a veray good a charytable dede to pray for sowles departed And for as moche also as suche vsage hath contynewed in the churche so many yeres euen from the begynnynge we thynke it conuenient that all bysshoppes and preachers shal instructe and teache the people commytted vnto theyr spirituall charge that no man ought to be greued with the contynuaunce of the same that it standeth with the veray dewe order of charitie that chrysten men shulde pray for the sowles departed and commyt them in our prayers to goddes mercy and also to cause other to pray for them in masses exequies to gyue almes to other to pray for them wherby they maye be relyued and holpen of some parte of theyr peyne But for as moche as the place where they be the name therof kynde of peynes there also be to vs vncertayne by Scripture Therfore this with al other thynges be to be remytted to almyghty god vnto whose mercye it is mete and conueniente for vs to commende them trustynge that god accepteth oure prayers for them referrynge the reste holly to god to whome is knowen theyr estate and condicion Wherfore it is moche necessarie that suche abuses be clerely put awaye whiche vnder the name of purgatorie hathe bene aduaunced as to make men beleue that throughe the bysshop of Romes pardons soules might clerely be delyuered out of purgatorie and all the peynes of it or the masses sayd at Scala celi or other where in any place or before any ymage myght lykewyse delyuer them from all theyr peyne and sende them streyght to heuen and other lyke abuses LONDINI IN AEDIBVS THOMAE BERTHELETI REGII IMPRESSORIS AN.

semely for christen people to be without all suche images of the father than to haue any of them Seconde that althoughe all images be they engrauen peynted or wrought in arrayse or in any otherwyse made be so prohibited that they may neyther be bowed downe vnto ne worshipped for asmoche as they be the workes of mans hande onely yet they be not so prohibited but that they may be had and sette vp in churches so it be for none other pourpose but only to thintent that we in beholdinge and lokyng vpon them as in certayne bokes and seynge represented in them the manyfolde examples of vertues whiche were in the saynctes represented by the sayd images maye the rather be prouoked kendled and styred to yelde thankes to our lorde and to prayse hym in his said saynctes and to remembre and lamente our synnes and offences and to praye god that we maye haue grace to folowe theyr goodnes and holy lyuynge As for an example The image of our saluyour as an open boke hangeth on the crosse in the rode or is paynted in clothes walles or wyndowes to the intent that beside thexamples of vertues whiche we may lerne at Christe we may be also many wayes prouoked to remembre his peynefull and cruel passyon and also to consydre our selfes when we beholde the sayde image and to condempne and abhorre our synne whiche was the cause of his soo cruell dethe and therby to professe that we wol no more synne And furthermore consyderyng what hygh charitie was in hym that wolde dye for vs his ennemies and what great dangiers we haue escaped and what hygh benefytes we receyue by his redemption we may be prouoked in all our dystresses and troubles to runne for comforte vnto hym All these lessons with many mo we may lerne in this boke of the Roode yf we wol entierly and ernestly loke vpon it And as the lyfe of our sauyour Christe is represented by this image euen soo the lyues of the holy sanctes whiche folowed hym be represented vnto vs by theyr images And therfore the sayde images may well be set vp in churches to be as bokes for vnlerned people to lerne therin examples of humylytie charitie pacience temperance contempte of the worlde the flesshe and the deuyll and to lerne example of all other vertues and for the other causes aboue rehersed For whiche causes onely images be to be sette in the churche and not for any honoure to be done vnto them For although we vse to sense the sayde ymages and to knele before them and to offre vnto them and to kysse theyr feete and suche other thynges yet we muste knowe and vnderstand that suche thynges be not nor oughte to be done to the ymages selfe but onely to god and in his honour or in the honour of the holy saincte or sainctes whiche be represented by the sayd ymages Â¶ Thyrdely we thinke it conuenient that all bysshops and preachers shall instructe and teache the people coÌ„mitted vnto theyr spirituall charge that agaynst this commaundment dyd offende generally before the comyng of Christe all gentiles people that were not of the nation of Israell For they worshipped images and false goddis somme one somme another Of the whiche sorte there was a great nombre For besyde theyr common goddis euery countrey euery citie or towne euery house and familie hadde theyr propre goddis Wherof is moche mencyon made in authors bothe christen hethen And these gentyles thoughe they had knowlege of a veray god yet as saynt Paule saith Roma i. they had ydle and vayn fantasyes whiche ledde them from the trouthe and where they counted them selfes wyse they were in dede very foles Â¶ Item that agaynst this coÌ„mundement also offended the Iewes many and sondry tymes and almooste continually For not withstandyng that they professed the knowlege and worshypping of the veray true god yet they fel to worshyppinge of ymages idols and false goddis as the holye scrypture in many places maketh mencion Â¶ Finally we thynke it conuenient that all bysshoppes and preachers shall instructe and teache the people commytted vnto theyr spirituall charge that to sette vp images as the hethen people and the Iewes dyd to bowe to theym and to worshyp them is forbydden in this seconde coÌ„maundement Â¶ Item that all they do greatly erre whiche put difference betwene ymage and ymage trustyng more in one then in an other as thoughe one coude helpe or do more than an other when bothe do represent but one thyng and sauyng by way of representation neyther of them is hable to worke or to do any thynge And they also that be more redye with theyr substance to decke deed ymages gorgiously and gloriously than with the same to helpe poore chrysten people the quicke and lyuely images of god Whiche is the necessarye worke of charitie coÌ„manded by god And they also that so dote in this behalfe that they make vowes and go on pylgremages euen to the images and there do calle vpon the same ymages for ayde and helpe fantasieng that eyther the image wol worke or els some other thynge in the image or god for the images sake As though god wrought by images carued engrauen or peynted brought ones into churches as he dothe worke by other his creatures In whiche thynges if any personne heretofore hath or yet dothe offende all good and well lerned men haue great cause to lament suche errour and rudenes and to put theyr studies and diligence for the reformation of the same Â¶ The declaration of the thyrde commaundement AS touchynge the thyrde commaundemente we thynke it conueniente that all bysshoppes and preachers shall instructe and teache the people commytted vnto theyr spyritual charge that in the said coÌ„maundement god requireth of vs to vse his name with all honour and reuerence Â¶ Item that the ryght vse of the name of god and the outwarde honour of the same standeth chiefely in these thynges folowynge that is to saye In the constant confession of his name in the ryght inuocation of the same in gyuynge of due thankes vnto god as well in prosperytie as in aduersitie and in the preachynge and teachyng of his worde For Christ sayth Mat. x. He that openly confesseth me before men I shall confesse hym before my father in heuen and he that is a shamed of me to confesse my name before men I woll be ashamed of hym before my father in heuen In whiche wordes Christe techeth vs not only to professe the name of god but also boldly and constantly to defende the same not to swarne from it for any maner of persecution or iniurie We muste also in all tribulation and necessitie and in all temptations and assaultes of the deuill inuocate call vpon the name of god For god accompteth his name to be halowed magnified worshypped whan we call vpon hym in our nede Call vpon me sayth he in the tyme of trouble and I woll delyuer the
