of NuÌnes Here is diligently to be cosidered that we may so both stoppe the blasphemous and venemous mouthes of Herticks Of the nature of Indulgences and by Catholickes make the fruite of these Indulgences to be enioied that no Indulgence can be obtained out of the state of Gods grace Therefore whosoeuer feeleth his mind wounded with any mortall sinne or purpose or desire or deliberate affection liking of the same let him before he seeke Indulgence reconcile him selfe vnto God either by the Sacrament of penance or if he can not conueniently at the least by perfect sorrow and repentance and stedfast purpose of amendment and of Receauing the SacrameÌt of penance at conuenient time without which disposition of minde none can euer obtain Gods grace and by which disposition he may at any moment accordinge vnto Gods most gratious promise and mercy For an Indulgence is a remission of temporall punishment due vnto sinnes already forgiuen and not possible therfore to be applied but to him which hauing forsaken sinne is in Gods holy fauour And hereby maist thou coÌfound the gracelesse ignorant hereticke Also for the better vnderstanding of the nature of Pardons the meaning of so many daies or yeeres of Pardon is that looke how much pain of PVRGATORY we could redeem with so many daies or yeres of such penance as might by reason be imposed vpon vs for to match our faultes our deuotion earnest sorow and purpose of satisfaction considered so much by the Indulgence of soe many daies or yeeres is taken away Neither is it necessary that we might liue so many yeeres whereas perhapps the worlde shall not last so long as the yeeres of some Indulgences for sufficient it is that we may deserue so many yeeres of punishmeÌt which the iustice of God may by the seuerity of the painefully inflict in one houre of the fire of Purgatory And to grosse is the ignorance of our heretickes who thinke that he that hath a hudred yeres of pardoÌ may by the Popes leaue sinne with-out remorse all his life as by this which we haue said is most euident It is also to be vnderstood that one may apply the saying of his beades for whatsoeuer necessitie of his owne or of others excepte where in the IndulgeÌce it is other wise required To what inteÌtion the beades are to bee imploied neither is he bouÌd to say the Rosary once a weeke for the Society so that saying it for what purpose he will he intend to say it as a member of the Society for to obtaine the gtaces of the same OF THE STATIons of Rome Cap. 4 THERE hath bene at Rome a continuall holye custome of the people for thes 1000 yeres at the least at diuers times soleÌnly to visite certaine principall Churches therin to offer vp their deuotions iointly with one mind for their owne necessities and of the wholle Church of God These solemne religious deuoute meetings are commonly called Sations And by diuers Popes there hath bene graunted vnto the foresaid Churches either specially in those daies in which the Stations are there kept or generally all the wholle yeere very great and large Indulgences I will here therfore note the daies and places of the same Stations as for the Indulgences it is sufficient here to aduertise that in euery one of these Churches they are very great and neuer lesse then of tenne thousaÌd yeeres Yet because often times there is a Plenary Indulgence and the deliuery of a soule out of Purgatory I will expresly sett downe when either of these so great graand fauours may bee obtained which thing will be also profitable for those which by hallowed Graines will gaine the Stations 1 The first Sonday in Auent at Sancta Maria Maior 2 The 2.

THIS deuout kind of Psalter or Rosary of our B. Lady coÌtaine 15. principall mysteries of the life of Christ our Lady for euery parte of the life of our Sauiour did very specially appertaine vnto his holy mother Luc. 2. as who did ponder in her hart and diligently weigh whatsoeuer her most beloued sonne wrought in the worlde and whose soule was perced with euery dent of that most sharppe sword which caused greife and so row to him whoÌ she had lodged in her affection for euer no lesse theÌ harboured for some monthes in her sacred wombe Rom. 12 and who finally had learned that lesson of S. PAVL to morne with the morners to reioice with the ioifull This Psalter I saye of 15 Pater nosters and 150 Aues is first deuided into three partes euery one of which may be recited a part by it selfe as we haue said aboue representeth vnto vs as well one of the most holy persons of the B. Trinitie as one of the three kindes of misteries of Christ and our Ladies life that is either ioifull or dolorous or glorious Euery one of these partes first very fitly represeÌteth vnto vs both the woundes of our Sauiour and the spirituall libertie which we obtained therby the number of fiftie signifying a perfect Iubiley release of all bondage as we will shew hereafter Leuit. 25 then doth it also containe fiue mysteries which whilest we are saying euery tenne Aues with the Pater noster beloÌging therunto going before are deuoutly to be laid before the eies of our mind affectuously imagining that we are kneeling in the closet of our Blessed Lady before her sacred person where she talketh with the Angell or in Zacharies house where Iohn Baptist by her voice is saÌctified in his mothers wombe and leapeth for ioy or in the Cribbe where the sonne of God in a new shape manifesteth him selfe vnto the world and is honoured of the wholle multitude of Angells shepheardes and Sages And the like of other so holy deuout misteries although they which haue more leasure fealing of so heaueÌly matters may with more fruit spend some litle time in meditating of euery mistery not saying any thing then afterward saye the Pater Aues thereunto belonging or hauing first rehearsed them afterwarde meditate which beeing doone they may go forward to an other mistery Neither yet doe I thinke that the simpler sort whose capacity cannot reach to the remembrance of so many seuerall misteries is bound for the obtaining of the graces appertaining to this Society to thinke actually of euery mistery although it be the more sure way and more profitable and not very difficult to remember if they first cause euery misterve to be expouÌded vnto them by some more skilfull then them selues Which now although I woulde willingly do yet am I not by my other busines permitted Wherfore for the larger explication of these misteries I refer euery one to a very profitable booke extant in our tong and with great frut practised by diuerse in our countrey of the misteries of the Rosary yet will I not euery place where in the holy scripture each misterye may be reade at large These are therfore the misteries of the holy Rosary The fiue Ioifull Mysteries 1 The AnnunciatioÌ of our Lady Luc. 1 2 The visitation of S. Elizabeth Luc. 1 3 The natiuitie of Christ Luc. 2 4 The purification Luc. 2 5 The inuention or findinge of Christ among the Doctors in the Temple Luc. 2 The fiue dolorous Masteries 1 The praier in the Garden Luc. 22 2 The whipping Ioan. 19. 3 The crowning with Thorne Mat. 27. 4 The carying of the Crosse Ioan. 19. 5 The Crucifying and death of Christ Mat. 27. The fiue glorious Misteries 1 The Resurrection of Christ Mat. 1â 2 The Ascention Act. 1. 3 The sending of the holy Ghost 4 The Assumption of our Lady into heauen Act. 2. Cant. 8 5 The Coronation and exaltatioÌ of our Lady aboue all Angels and Saintes Thus much haue I thought necessary to be heere declared for the perfect information of whosoeuer desireth to knowe what belongeth vnto this deuout Society and to be pertaker of the benefite therof Now before I proceed any farther I haue iudged it very coÌuenient to ad here two briefe admonitions of two things which may greatly appertaine vnto the knowledge and vse of this so greate a treasure First that albeit as we saide aboue in the first chapter What benefite one which is in deadly sinne may reape hereby no maner of persoÌ being out of the blessed fauour of Almightie God and in the miserable estate of mortall sinne can either enioy these Indulgences or any other or be partaker of the good workes and satisfactioÌ of others yet ought not any man which for human frailty may perhaps either sometime fall into deadly sinne or remain most lameÌtably in the same be therby terrified from this most holesome medicine coÌfortable sanctuary of the Blessed Virgins protection For first coÌcerning the entry into this Confraternity although it be desired that euery one at that time dispose him selfe to Gods grace by receauing the holy SacrameÌts and there is as hath bene said aspeciall Indulgence graunted to that end yet that this is not altogither necessary the very practise of this Society doth shew which receiueth those which are absent and not in case or possibility to receaue holy Sacramentes neither euer exacteth the same as necessary of such when they are admitted As for the being afterward in estate of sinne true it is that it hindereth those benefittes as we said before yet doth it not hinder but that so long as one remaineth in the vnitie of holy Church and saieth his Rosarye or our Ladies Psalter euery weeke the commoÌ praiers suffrages of this wholle Society are applied vnto him also as a member therof Wherfore although he haue not that infallible measure of fruit of their
there is required in any day that the wholle Rosary be said then you may not diuide it into seuerall daies it is also more secure to say all at once Finally if one be once admitted and for negligence omit to say the Rosary he ceaseth not for all this to be of the Society and may returning to his wonted deuotion without any new admission obtaine the accustomed graces and benefittes 8 There are celebrated fower anniuersaries in the yeere for the soules of the brethren departed in the Churches of the Society after the 4 principall festiuities of our blessed LADY the Natiuitie Purification Annunciation and Assumption at which euery one ought to be present praying for those soules that the same piety may be vsed toward them 9 Euery first Sonday in the moneth there is made a solemne and deuout procession of the holy Rosary after EueÌsong to the which they should in any wise come together as-well for the Indulgences treasures which they may gaine as that they may be present to honor the most sacred Virgin their aduocate Lady and all deuoutly vnited to aske her helpe These two last articles cannot as it is manifest be preformed in our Countrey 10 After that the Priest hath writen them which deuoutly demaund to enter into this company the Corone or Rosary being laide vpon the Altar with a stole about his necke he blesseth the beads saying the praier folowing This benediction if one can not conuenieÌtly come to him which receiueth him but only sendeth his name to be inrolled is not necessary neither if the beades were euer blessed before Hence also doth it appeare that there is no other thing necessary What is necessarie in this Society for the obtaining of the benefites of this Society but to say once aweeke the Psalter of our LADY whosoeuer thincketh otherwise requiring either other ordinary praiers or frequenting of Sacramentes or any soleÌne profession at the first entraÌce doth confound this Society beeing a generall corporation ouer all the world with other particuler Societies of our Lady in seueral places binding theÌselues to more strict obseruances theÌ were easie to be vndertakeÌ of all that variety of persones which is by this Society embraced Although who-soeuer is of any other particuler Society of our LADY receiuig therin a particuler fellowshipe and incorporation in that place where such a Society is instituted will withall for the generall deuotion vnto this as insttuted by the expresse reuelatioÌ of our Blessed LADY as it is credibly and deuoutlye thought seeke to be here inrolled if he were not before which I thought good to note least any shold either be coÌfounded with variety of opinions or deterred with more heauy burdens from so profitable a deuotion THE PRAIER FOR the blessing of the Beades Versic Adiutorium nostrum
