B04950 The Virgin Mary misrepresented by the Roman Church in the traditions of that church, concerning her life and glory; and in the devotions paid to her, as the mother of God. Both shewed out of the offices of that church, the lessons on her festivals, and from their allowed authors. Part I. Wherein two of her feasts, her conception and nativity, are considered.

to hear of her when they bring her upon the stage of the World give me leave only to premise how they consider her in the Divine Decree before she was conceived and born into the World. SECT I.

But just as they have betrayed the Christian cause against the Heathens in the case of Images since the same Distinctions and Answers this Church makes me of to defend their Worship of them may all be pleaded for the Justifying the Heathen Idolatry in that particular So by their Application of these places of scripture to the B. Virgin whi●… the Fathers generall● thou●ht did belong only to Christ and proved his existence before all Ages of the World they have plainly put Answe● into the mouths of those Hereticks to evacua●… the 〈◊〉 of all those Arguments for those places may then be applied to Christ though supposed a Cr●… 〈…〉 ●eer Man as well as to la● 〈◊〉 must be 〈…〉 a meer Woman Cartha●…na a L. 1. de arc Deip. ho. 2. p. 9. is so 〈…〉 that not being able to deny what by the Authority of his Church he is forced to own nor yet to disown the other he thus agrees the matter Since those things which are spoken of the infinite Wisdom of God are verified also of the B. Virgin it is necessary that from the infinity of the Son she borrow a kind of infinite Dignity and from thence those Words may agree to both though in a different Sence And another b Carre Sweet thoughts of Jesus and Mary p. 293. thus What was said of the eternal Wisdom by eternal Birthright and property is applied to her by the wisdom of the Church guided by the H. Ghost by attribution and participation Our Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways This therefore is now their business to advance her as high as is possible and to give her Prerogatives above all other Creatures of which many of their Authors c Cited by Raynaudus Pipt Mar. p. 130. make this to be one That after Christ she was elected the first of all others So our Contemplator d Contemplat I. and Gl. of Mary p. 21. Thou wast the first and most delicious Object of God's Love towards pure Creatures from the beginning of Eternity Which they Illustrate thus e Carthagena Ibid. p. 7. As God decreed to constitute our first Parent Adam to be the Head of Mankind and gave him Eve for his Companion taken out of his side while he was a sleep so for the Reparation of Mankind he predestinated Christ to be the Head of another spiritual Off-spring and out of his side whilst he slept upon the Cross he brought out this second Eve the Mother of all Living by Grace And to this purpose they cite Prov. 8.25 Before the
Examination proved so Not unlike to this is another incouraging Story which Pelbartus f Stellarii l. 5. p. 2. art 3. gives us out of a Book of Miracles which he attributes to S. Anselm How a Beggar came to a covetous rich Man greatly devoted to the Virgin and ask'd an Alms of him for God's sake and he denied him with Reproaches he asked again of him for the Love of his own Soul and his Salvation but that Argument moved him not at all He begg'd a Third time for the Love of the blessed Virgin at which the covetous Man angrily threw a Loaf of Bread to him charging him to beg no more in that Name When this Miser died and his Works came to be weighed it was found that his good Works were less and so was adjudged to the Devils to be tormented But the blessed Virgin immediately appeared and brought a Loaf of Bread he had given for her sake and put it in the Balance and immediately by her Merits the Scale was turned She intreated her Son for him who said I was hungry and he gave me no Meat c. He shewed no Mercy therefore deserves to find none to whom she replied I am the Mother of Mercy and he had me in great Devotion And so he was released and sent into the Body again to repent and lead a better Life Such Stories as these have given such Spirit to the Worshippers of the Virgin that they are not afraid to dispute and put it to the Question Whether the Name of Mary be not more powerful than that of Jesus That it is a sweeter Name is a concluded Case For they compare g Barthol de los Rios ubi supra l. 6. c. 32. the Two names of Jesus and Mary to Salt and Honey Salt which answers to Christ's Name is more wholesome and in respect of its Preservative Virtue of it self more efficacious yet for all that it seems to be more sharp and pungent and so the Name Jesus howsoever you take it sounds something of a judging Majesty by reason of his Divinity but now the Name of Mary quantum quantum est is every way all Sweetness it is Honey preserving from Corruption yet not biting and he concludes That the Name of Mary to us affords a sweeter Tast than that of her Son. If you ask about the Power and Prevalency of the Two Names we are told h Id. ib. c. 38. That it is not improbably said That her Name at lest quo ad nos is more efficacious than his For which he cites the Words of the spurious S. Anselm Velocior est nonnunquam salus c. i De excel Virginis c. 6. Salvation comes more speedily by invoking Mary's Name than that of Jesus Christ being called upon in his own Name he does but what is just if he does not presently hear but when his Mother's Name is invoked though he that prays does not deserve to be heard for his own Merits yet the Merits of his Mother intercede that he should be heard So that he concludes That the Name of Mary affords more gentle and humane more frequent and speedy Arguments of Pity and Mercy than the Name of her Son. Which another Blasphemer k Rich. a S. Laurentio de laud. Virg. l. 1. c. 2. thus expresses Jesus is as it were a proud name quasi superbum nomen and too potent but Affection become hers that is a name more humble so that if any one dreads the Austerity of the Deity or Male-sex Sexus virilis in Jesus let him have Recourse to Mary in whom nothing of these is to be suspected for Mary is a Womans name commending and carrying before it Gentleness Francis Mendoza l Veridar l. 2. probl 2. p. 70. the Jesuit has spoke his Mind out in answer to the former Question I say though Christ stands in greater Authority with God than the Virgin yet the blessed Virgin sometimes is more easily moved by our Prayers than Christ and therefore the Patronage of the Mother is sometimes more present to us than that of the Son The Reason is That Christ is a Judge and the blessed Virgin only a Patroness and a Patroness is only Mercy And for a further Proof of this he gives Examples of this greater Prevalency of the Virgin in several Plagues at Rome and Constantinople c. Where after the Invocation of Saints and of Christ himself without Success upon flying to this sacred Anchor as he calls her upon carrying about her Image or celebrating her Festival the Plague his immediately ceased for as it is a common thing to break the Force of Cannon Bullets by opposing Wool-sacks to them m Ib. p. 73. so the Anger of the Deity thundring and raging against miserable Offenders the Force of it is broken and dull'd by the Interposition of Mary's Fleece We read says another n Novarinus umbr Virgin. num 1195. Prov. 18.10 That the Name of the Lord is a strong Tower the righteous Man runs unto it and is safe Turn but nomen Domini into Domina a small matter only the change of a Letter the name of Lord into that of Lady and you may say the same of Mary Nay you may say more of her name for though Solomon indeed says the foresaid Richardus o Rich. a S. Laurent ubi prius who knew but little of Mary bids the Righteous fly to the name of the Lord as to a strong Tower yet we to whom blessed Revelations have been made since his days may says The Name of our Lady is a strong Tower the Sinner flys unto it and is safe It seems a just Man may fly to God if he pleases but a Sinner had better betake himself to Mary And thus says Novarinus p Ibidem some explain that in Luc. 13. concerning the Tower of Siloans that fell and slew Eighteen Persons That Tower is Christ who was sent by the Father into the World and broke in pieces all those on whom he fell The Virgin Mary is our Tower but for Safety who withdraws and fetches off Sinners subducit from the deserved Anger of her Son. So that according to this Doctrine though it be a common thing in Exclamations Jesus Maria and in Prayers Laus Deo Virgini Mariae to join the Two names of Jesus and Mary and to put Jesus first just as Philip and Mary stand in our Coins yet this must be interpreted as done rather in Civility to the Relation of Son and Mother than that Sinners have an equal Expectation from them or Encouragement in Addresses to them for in this Mary has the Preference and Precedency To conclude this the Jesuit Poza q Elucidar l. 2. tr 17. c. 6. reckons up several admirable Effects that follows the use of the Virgin 's name That the name of Mary frees from the Fear of Death and injury of Devils that it makes the Mind Chast that it refreshes a Soul
that is fainting and sorrowful that it gives Security and Safeguard to the Body And in a Word That her name receives all Virtue from her self and does the same things that she does The Words also of S. Briget r Revelat. l. 1. cap. 9. must not be forgotten Upon the hearing Mary named those that are in Purgatory rejoice beyond measure as a sick Man lying in his Bed when he hears a word of Comfort The good Angels hearing this name presently approach nearer to those just Men who are committed to their Guardianship and rejoice in their Proficiency as if forsooth they were more negligence in their Office till she was invoked The Devils also all of them dread and fear it so that upon hearing the name of Mary they presently let go and leave the the Soul that was detained in their Clutches All that I shall further add is That upon Instigation of Lewis IX King of France Pope Clement IV. s Raynaud Dipt Marian. p. 28. bestowed a Three years Indulgence upon all that should repeat these following Words viz. Benedictum sit dulce nomen Domini nostri Jesu Christi gloriosissimae virginis Mariae matris ejus in aternum ubra Nos cum prole pia benedicat virgo Maria. That is Blessed be the sweet Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and of the most glorious Virgin Mary his Mother for evermore Afford to us thy Benediction O Virgin Mary with thy gracious Son.
