from death to life and that hee shall not enter into condemnation Did he send vs to Rome or any other place Doth he not say if wee cate his fleshe and drinke his bloud which he had preposed before in these termes if we come to him and if we beleeue in him he dwelleth in vs and wee in him Can there be any charity to expose so many persons to infinite paines trauailes and daungers to put them in great charges to leaue their houses and vocations to goe a long iourney to seeke that which they may haue at home at their own dores if they haue a true faith working by charity But I pray you doth not the holy Father and his supports shew a manifest contradiction in their opinions and by consequent what spirit of error lying speaketh by their mouths and not the spirit of truth They proclaime with hewe and crye that in their Masse the Sacramentall wordes being pronounced the substance of bread is transubstantiated into the body of Christ and the wine into the bloud Now Iesus Christ ordaining the holy Supper would there by assure vs that if wee communicate worthily and examine our owne consciences we communicate his body which was deliuered for vs and his bloud which was shed for the remission of our sins To be short wee are participants of the efficacy vertue of his death and passion If then it be so that Iesus Christ very God and very man is there as they pretend yea in corporall presence Is it not a great folly and indiscretion to goe so far to seeke that which they may haue among themselues Wherefore should Iesus Christ present himselfe there vnto vs and should not haue so much power in his corporall presence as men are made beleeue that the bones sepulchers Temples and Images of S. Peter and S. Paul haue Is it not to make lesse account without comparison of the Master then of the seruaunts Yea is it not a despising of the Lord who is alwaies liuing to adore and worship the putrified carkasses of his seruantes If then it bee true that they are his seruants who will deny it to be a manifest blasphemy Wherefore all these goodly exhortations by the Pope made both to the Prelates and to Kings and Princes are like to Suger and other Spices wherewith he seeketh to sweeten his venomous drinke thereby the easier to impoyson all the world We must not stay nor attend the 100. yeare of the Romaine Iubile to amend our liues correct our vices to dispose our selues to doe good and to be intentiue to the word of God to read the holy Scriptures to exercise charity to giue honor to whome honor belongeth and tribute to those that ought to haue tribute and to pray to God one for an other and namely for Kings Princes and such as are in authority Such holy exercises are necessary for all the faithfull and at all times and seasons And also such as are called to feede the Lords flocke ought not to attend vntil that time to teach and instruct the people committed to their charge Act. 20. but they are alwaies to doe it as S. Paul writeth to the Bishop of Ephes yea in time and out of time according to the instruction by him giuen to his Disciple Timothy For that following their Masters example they must trauel in his Vineyard the 12. houres in the day without staying till euening comes Wherfore you my maisters of the church of Rome if you desire to be participants of saluation harken rather to the voyce of the great Pastor of al Pastors our only Sauiour redeemet Iesus christ Math. 11. who so sweetly inuiteth you vnto his word Come vnto me all you that are laden and I will comfort you Also If any man haue thirst let him come vnto mee and I will refresh him Ioh. 7. Then vnto these false Prophets which make you runne from place to place binding your consciences cause you to doubt of your saluation And the better to empty your purses set before your eyes a fire of purgatory wherein after you haue bin tormented in this world by fastings abstinences pilgrimages and other corporall exercises you must as they make you beleeue passe through and therein remaine to be as it were new boyled and refined before you enter into Paradice But the Sonne of God maketh one selfe same promise vnto all those who by a true faith shall seeke their saluation in him as he did vnto the poore theefe when hee said vnto him this day shalt thou be with me in Paradice that is to say if we commit our soules into his hands he will receiue them and place them in ease and rest attending the moste happy resurrection by meanes whereof he will leade vs all both in body and soule into his Paradice which is the heritage prepared for vs before the foundation of the world This great eternall and vniuersall Iubile whereunto God calleth and summoneth vs euery day hath bin written by the precious bloud and signed by the death and passion of our Lord Iesus Christ the eternall Sonne of the eternall God our great King and onely soueraigne Sanctifier Vnder written by the holy Apostle that Preached and declared it vnto all the world to be indifferently receiued and celebrated in all places where the name of God is called vpon and sealed with two great seales of his Maiesty Baptisme and the holy Supper Ga. 1.

ambitiō he so deceiued that holy man hauing perswaded him to leaue this dignitie hauing taken and put him into the tower of Fumon constrayned him to dye therein before his time And we must not omit by silence that which Nauclerus saith which is that in Anno 1295. the seat being vacant as the Florentine historye declareth Cardinall Benet was in great care for the Papacie not staying till he was called therunto Note like Aaron wherevpon it hapned that one night he went not with any great traine to the Pallace of King Charles promising him all ayde that the Church could giue if by his meanes he might be made Pope whereupon the King perswaded by this hope found the meanes that the Cardinals his friendes elected him Pope Behold the holy man of whome Clement the eight is successor so the supposts and vpholders of the Papacie haue a most firme argument to maintaine and defend their vocation which is the succession of such men To make an end of this matter I will adde that which Platina setteth downe of the gouernment and end of this Boniface or rather Maliface this man saith he dyed when that is like a dogge he sought to procure terror and feare among Emperors Kings Princes nations and people rather then to plant true Religion that vsed all meanes he could to giue and take away kingdomes to banish and after that to recall men againe when it pleased him being without all measure puffed vp with the great treasure by him gotten from all places Let vs now returne vnto our Iubile which the Pope commaundeth at the end of 100. yeeres although saith he some others haue restrained it vnto a shorter number of yeares as Clement the sixt that caused it to be celebrated 50. yeares after but hee did it the easilyer to fill his Coffers And it is to be noted that this said Pope the better to make himselfe to be knowne to bee Antichrist in the Bull by him sent foorth for the same effecte commaunded the Angels to draw out of Purgatory the soules of all those that dyed in the way to Rome But howe can Clement the eyght prooue that this custome at the end of euery 100. yeares to celebrate this holy Iubile is Diuine and that rather in the Citty of Rome then else where What vertue hath this number of 100. more then any other What charity is there so long a time to deferre so great a benefit as this Iubile bringeth Clement the sixt had more reason in appearance in abreuiating the time from 50. to 50. yeares according to that of the Iewes The number of 7. multiplyed in it selfe inclusiuely comprehending 49 signifiyng perfection in the holy Scriptures But yet neuerthelesse the vse of that Iubile of the Iewes did wholy cease at the comming of Iesus Christ and we finde not that any other hath been established for the Christians in a certaine number of yeeres As wee read that Baptisme succeeded Circumeision the holy Sacrament the Paschal Lambe And as this holy Father can not prooue that but onely because it is his pleasure and that his will ought be holden for a decree of the Celestiall Court So can he much lesse prooue that such a thing ought to bee done in Rome by him called the Fortresse and house of christian religion As many words as in that place he setteth down are so many blasphemies that the towne most giuen ouer vnto all the villanies that euer were which also by S. Ierom in his time In the pref vpon Didimus is called the seate of the whore apparelled in purple vestures the Citty wherein al things are permitted where vertue is banished the towne wherin all sacred things yea God himselfe if it were possible are to be solde But what speake I of sacred thinges All things prophane defiled and vncleane are to be bought by him that offereth most money The Citty wherin the Cardinals by the Pope termed his reuerend bretheren leade a life more then Sardanapalike for that they are not ashamed to walke with their Concubines throughout the Citty in the open view and sight of all the people Sodomy is therein tollerable approoued and maintained that such a towne I say ought to be called the Fortresse and house of religion but according to the saying of Petrarke the house of dolour the Schoole of error and the temple of herresie But to what end is this Iubile ordained to reiterate and renue saith Clement the eyght the memory of so great a benefit that is that Iesus Christ the Son of Iustice he that brought saluation to all the world is borne of the Virgin Mary c. Now you shall see how this is done if we ought to referre it to any certaine place of celebration it were fitter to bee done in Bethlehem where Iesus Christ according to the flesh was borne then in Rome but wee haue not any commandement neyther for this place nor for any other But as expresse commandement was giuen vnto the Apostles to Preach the Gospell throughout all the world so is it that throughout all the world wee must celebrate the memory of the Sonne of God without distinction of this or that place The Lord is with those that are assembled in his name according to his will The holy Sacrament was ordained by him to the end that wee should celebrate it in memory of him not onely because that hee was borne but also that he suffered death and passion for the remission of our sinnes and rose againe for our iustification And we must not attend a 100. 50. or 25. yeares but we must doe it as often as we may not at Rome from whence the Gospell yea and Iesus Christ himselfe is banished but in all places where the Doctrine of the Gospell is purely Preached the holy Sacraments administred according to the ordinance of our Soueraigne Pastor and Master our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ The Pope calleth himselfe the successor of the Apostles where doe wee finde that the Apostles did establish any certaine seate whereunto they haue enioyned vs to resort as to the stone of faith But to the contrary they themselues went Preached throughout all the world they themselues went to seeke the sheep and stayed not till the sheep came to finde them S. Peter himselfe preached vnto the Iewes and S. Paul vnto the Gentils Now that S. Peter erected his seate in Rome there is no apparance thereof the booke of the Actes of the Apostles and the Epistles of S. Paul both that which hee wrote vnto the Romaines and that which he sent out of prison in Rome doe sufficiently ouerthrow and disprooue all these impostures that would affirme the contrary for in any of them there is not any mention made of S. Peter And as touching that which the Munke Onuphrius saith that S. Peter did first erect his seate in Rome for the space of nine yeares and that he was driuen away among other Iewes by the
