When they assemble themselues to bury the dead euery friend and kinsman giueth the dead a kisse after a Pagan rite for the Pagans were wont to speake these words to the dead Vade cum natura te vocauerit sequemur te 20. They say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Christ cannot doe so much as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Lord therefore they say often 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but neuer 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in their seruice 21. The Monkes as it seemeth only haue power to bind and loose which Christ gaue to Peter and his Successours wherefore Priests for Lucre take vpon them most filthy Monastique habite and remit sinnes only that they may gaine money 22. They auer that the Latines haue no Sacrament because they consecrate vnleauened bread for which damnable opinion they must be Hereticks saith Aetherianus 23. If a Latin Priest offer vpon their Altar which scarse is permitted they wash the Alter with water before they offer any thing vpon it againe And if a Latine woman bee married to a Greeke Husband shee is compelled to abiure the Latin Communion her Baptisme and the Lords Body which shee did eate in the Latine Church her confession and her fast vpon Saterdayes Likewise if a Latin man marry a woman in the Citie of Constantinople he must renounce and abiure the Latin Church the Greekish Priests promise much but they performe nothing they rebaptize those that come from the Latin Church to them The rest of the things which are obiected to them are euen the same which they obiect to the Latins So wee see the fruite of their Schisme to be the malicious imputation of many infamous lies and damnable calumnies worthy to be buried in the gulfe of obliuion for though some of these imputations be true yet most of them are Calumnies on both sides or at least things not worthy of rebuke The names of the Authours which haue written for Grecians against the Latines 1 Photius Patriarcha Constan obiected the procession of the Holy Ghost from the Son as an Heresie to the Latine Church anno 876.
