so as without any respect made of the race Leuiticall the sacrificers were constituted by the Consuls and Deputies of Rome at their pleasure and whereas before they were permanent during life they now became Annuall When the Royall Scepter was alienated from the Progenie of Judea their Kingdome wholly subuerted as before was prophecied the incomprehensible power of God was reuealed by his Sonne begotten before all ages who humbled himselfe to take vpon him humane flesh in the wombe of the Virgin to redeeme his people and to restore them to grace and fauour with God CHAP. V. The Ceremoniall Law accomplished by Iesus Christ NOw as in Adam through his preuarication and sinne and in abusing the Sacred signes committed to his guard and custodie as the whole masse of humane flesh was tainted with the leauen of sinne so by the second Adam Iesus Christ wee were againe by grace purged from all our offences To our first and generall Father Adam was giuen the Sacred signe for an exercise of obedience and other sacred signes to his successors Sacrifices and Sacraments instituted by God the Tree of Life the Fruits of the knowledge of Good and Ill the Rainbowe Circumcision the vnspotted Lambe the vnleauened bread the Cloude the Pillar of Fire the Red sea diuided Heauenly Manna Water out of the Rocke the Oblations Holocausts of beasts for sacrifice the Arke of Couenant the Brazen Serpent the Temple edified in the holy Citie All which sacred signes Sacrifices and Sacraments were figures of that which was accomplished in Iesus Christ For first hee was the true Tree of Life planted in the middest of the Paradise of God in and by whom wee that were bastard slips haue been engraffed to obtaine eternall life Hee committed to our keeping the Fruits of the Tree of Wisedome by his holy Gospel commanding vs to preserue it entirely without adulterating or corrupting the same without adding or dimishing there-from vpon pain of eternall death Hee was as the Rain-bow extended all ouer the Aire to assure vs of the League and Couenant contracted between God and vs that we should no more be drowned in the deluge of sinne He was circumcised that the Law in him might be accomplished that so the prepuce of our hearts might be circumcised and to make vs cast off our old corrupted skinne in Adam Hee was like the flaming Bush incarnate in the wombe of the Virgin conceiued by the Holy Ghost without the seed of Man the sacred Virgin like the Bush remaining notwithstanding entire and not consumed He was sacrificed like the iust Innocent Lambe and his Blood shed to preserue vs from the Tyranny of satan and to open vnto vs a passage whereby we may enter into the Land of Promise the Heauenly Kingdome Hee is that true vnleauened Bread which came downe from Heauen incorrupt and vnspotted of whom we must eate for our spirituall nourishment that we may celebrate the Feast of that miraculous passage from Pharaoh in the Land of true Liberty Hee was the Cloud the firie Pillar the diuided Red Sea which conducted and deliuered vs out of the hands of our enemies out of whose opened Side came Water and Bloud for our Saluation He was the heauenly Manna sent from Heauen to feed vs for euer and the true Rocke out of which issued Water to quench their thirst for euer which beleeue in him It was He that onely offered vp the sauing Sacrifice for the expiation of our sinnes both Priest and Sacrifice both the Offerer and the Oblation remaining an Eternall High-Priest at the Right Hand of God his Father beeing entred into the Holy and Heauenly Sanctuarie not built with mens hands but by the Hand of God He was the true Arke of Alliance and Couenant by which God reuealed and manifested his Oracles and in him he did reside to accomplish his diuine and incomprehensible Mysteries He was like to the Brazen Serpent fastened to the Crosse to giue health vnto the sicke which returne to him and contemplate on him by Faith He was the true Temple of God wherein the Holy Ghost dwels one God in Trinity in and by whom God is onely adored He was the true and sacred Oblation of whom the reall water purgatorie was made for the purgation of euery blemish Himselfe with his owne Ashes that is with his immolated Body besprinkled and wet with water issuing out of his Side all People and Nations that beleeue in him CHAP. VI. Of Sacraments ordained by Iesus Christ himselfe THe Law Ceremoniall beeing by this meanes accomplished not in Figures but really executed by the Incarnation Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Sauiour our Mediator our Eternall Priest and Propitiator the infinite goodnesse of God was yet further reuealed by the new Couenant new Alliance and new comming of the Sonne of God Incarnate For by his New Testament ratified and confirmed in the death of the Testator He hath constituted vs as heires and coheires to God in his heauenly Kingdome For assurance of this celestiall succession purchased for vs by grace after the Consummation of the Law Ceremoniall and the same abolished as we haue formerly declared through that perfect Sacrifice of the Priest Eternall there were left vnto vs two sacred Signes or Sacraments wherein God bestowed greater fauour and more speciall grace then he had done before his Incarnation For hee hath freed vs from the seruile Law of Circumcision from the difference of meates and diuers Sacrifices ordained in the first Church of the Israelites And by easing vs of this waighty burthen Hee further conferred vpon vs a greater comfort in constituting for a memoriall and remembrance of our regeneration and eternall life two holy Sacraments vnder two sacred signes which are the water of Baptisme and the Bread and Wine in the Communion of his Body Now that his Grace might be extended to all Nations God thought good to make choice of the most familiar and ordinary Signes and Symboles For Circumcision was a speciall marke for Abraham and his Posterity to which Circumcision other Nations were not accustomed though Herodotus a Grecian borne in an History he wrote of the Aegyptian manners specifies their manner and custome of beeing circumcised but especially the Priests and we may easily coniecture that he had heard of it at the time when the Iewes dwelt in Aegypt for the space of 430 yeeres and obserued Circumcision Moreouer Circumcision was appointed onely for the Males and not for Females there was a limited time appointed for Circumcision which was within eight dayes after the Natiuity and the cutting of the fore-skin was with griefe and paine But the Grace of God by his Incarnation and plenary Sacrifice hauing abolished the rigor of the Law Ceremoniall as well for difference of meates as of daies He

from the Law Euangelicall of Iesus Christ they thought to attribute these inuentions meerely to themselues though they had their originall from the ancient heathen Romane Idolaters 700. yeares before the Incarnation of Christ To resolue this first Missall part it were much more expedient O you Missalians in stead of your sacrifices and exorcismes of salt water wherewith you sprinckle the people to preach purely and cincerely the holy Gospell and to teach Christian people that the true purification washing away of sins depends on the blood of Iesus Christ which is powerfull enough to repell deuils to deliuer vs from hell to preserue vs from eternall death and to wipe out in vs euery spot and blemish of sin without vsing exorcismes or coniurations with salt to driue away deuils conformable to Pompilian Magicke the herefie of the Samaritans who thought themselues purified by those and washing with the same euery day CHAP. 14. The Procession of the Masse AFter the Asperges is sung the lustral exercizde water sprinckled vpon the Altars the Images and all the assistants at a Masse then followes Procession which is attributed to Agapet the Romane Pope But this was Instituted aboue a thousand yeares before him for the ancient Romane Idolaters called it Supplication A forme Instituted by Numa to goe on Procession either to appease the wrath of the godds to obtaine peace or to pray vnto God for the fruits of the earth the order was in the manner First before the Procession walkt certaine young children then the sacrificing Priests clad in white Surplesses singing Hymnes Paeans and Canticles to the honour of their gods Then marched the high Priest or Curio Then marched the Romane Senators with their wiues and children and sometimes the common people assisted There was commonly carried about in Procession the Shrine or Reliquarie of god Iupiter or of Anubis by some Priests clad in white Surpleses with shauen heads and thereon wearing crownes This Crowne was of such reuerence and esteeme that the Emperour himselfe Commodus Antonius high Pontifex caused his head to be shauen cut round expressely to carry the Cabinet of god Anubis Before the Cabinet or Reliquarie went a Cierger carrying a light Taper in his hand When the Procession went along through the streets there were seats erected to serue for stations or places where the Priests which caried the relicks were apointed to rest take breath When the Procession was ended the Temples were opened the Altars Images perfumd with Insence and the reliques of their gods shewed On those dayes when the Procession went abroad a Feast was celebrated the shops were closde vp the Hall of Iustice shut in and the prisoners vnshackled who can better discipher the order of Processions obserued euen at this day by the Missalians Instructed from father to sonne in the Pompilian religion What other Author can be alleadged touching the ceremonies performed in Procession except Numa Pompilius himselfe If the Missalians sought not out further for their crowned shauen crownes and white Surplesses which the ancient Aegiptian Idolaters were wont to vse the Priests of the Goddesse Isis or the Babilonian sacrificers wearing their heads and beards shauen As for the Law of God the contrary therein was obserued and the sacrificing Priests were forbidden to cut their heads or haire round and to shaue their heads And as for the Law of the Gospel there is no such like ceremony commanded by Iesus Christ nor by his Apostles they must therefore needs proceed from the ancient Pompilian Religion For other things in the Procession they haue added the carrying of the Crosse or Banner this Banner was tearmed by the ancient Romane Idolaters Labarum which was reputed a sacred ensigne so much reueerd by the Dictators and Emperours as also by the souldiers that went to the wars Antenor first pictured in that Banner a Sow by reason of the name Troia which in the vulgar Italian tongue signifies a Sow which ensigne Antenor vowed and dedicated in the Temple of Iuno Queen of the heauens because the Sow was the consecrated Victime to the same Goddesse The old Romans afterwards caused a Mercurius Caduce to be drawn vpon the Banner whereon was painted the picture of two Serpents coupyed together then was an Eagle portraced for the Ensigne of the Romain Empire but Constantine the Great Emperour in Greece made to be drawne therein a figure of greek letters a X interlaced with an ę on the two sides α ω in this signe α ☧ ω signifying thereby this word Christos or Christ This Banner was spread vpon a pole or staffe of wood made in forme of a Crosse the Bāner being foure square in the fashion of an Ensigne of crymosine violet silke edgd about with fringe of Gold or siluer pretious stones In imitation of this the Missalian Priests haue adornd their Pompilian Processions in which they carry Banners as if they meant to goe to the wars or conduct a martiall Army but in stead of portraying therin the name of Iesus Christ they paint the effigies Images of diuers gods and goddesses saints men women the Patrons of each parish This in somme is the originall of the Missall Procession standing for the second part of the Masse Was there euer such palpable Idolatry vsed by the Israelites when they would celebrate the Feast of vnleauened bread to eate the Paschall Lambe a Figure of the holy Sacrament of the Supper which the Missalians haue adulterated by their Missall sacrifices Did they euer carry about in Procession the flesh or the bloud of the immaculate Lambe Did they euer lay it vp in a Reliquarie to be carried in Procession about the streets The Serpent of Brasse though they much prophaned and abused it yet did they at any time carry any part of it in a Reliquarie vpon the shoulders of their Priests wearing their heads and beards shauen as the Greek Pontife Vrban ordained that the round consecrated Hoste should be carried in Procession by the Missalians instituted a solemn Feast euery yeare on holy Thursday that so he might conuert the vse of the holy Sacrament to a more detestable Idolitrie then all his Predecessors CHAP. XV. The third part of the Masse that is the Altar and Candels lighted AFter the sprinkling of holy-water Procession performed Numa instituted that the Masse priest to celebrate Sacrifice being clad with his Aube and Chasible or painted coate his head crown'd beard shauen that he should approach to the Altar prepared for sacrifice set forth with a Lamp or light Taper which ordinarily was of Tede or Pine For without an Altar fire no Sacrifice could be celebrated He also ordained that the Masse Priest should turne himselfe neere to the Altar towards the East Porphirius the heretick did not only continue this Pompilean Magick but further he constituted that the
