vnto vs by God himself to direct al our praiers vnto God All the praiers in the olde Testament and in the newe are wholy and onely made vnto god And so we are commaunded to do Psal. 50. Call vppon me in the day of trouble and I will deliuer thee and thou shalt glorifie me Christ taught his Apostles to pray vnto God Our father c He willeth them To aske in his name and it shal be graunted them S. Paule 1. Tim. 2. That there is one mediatour betweene God and vs 1. Iohn 2. If any man sinne saith he we haue an aduocate with the father Iesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sinnes As for praier to the Saintes departed or to anie Angell we haue neither example nor commaundement in all the scripture The Angell Apoc. 19. refused to bee woorshipped of his felowe seruaunt Augustine de vera religione cap. 55. saith Honoramus Angelos charitate non seruitute We honour the Angelles in louing them not in dooing seruice vnto them And of the Saintes departed he saith Honorandi sunt Martyres propter imitationem non adorandi propter religionem We must honour the Martyrs so that wee make them patterns to imitate and follow we may not woorship them in way of religion Chrisostome commendeth very much the woman of Canaan for that she came not to the Apostles for her daughter but directly to Christ Vide prudentiam mulieris non rogat Iacobum non obsecrat Ioannem non pergit ad Petrum See the wisedome of the woman shee dooth not entreate Iames she dooth not beseech Iohn she goeth not to Peter but directly to Christ And in the same place If thou haue a suite to a man thou askest what he dooth and whether he be at leisure or no And thou hearest that either he is a sleepe or not at leisure and peraduenture the seruant will not vouchsafe to giue thee an answeare But if thou goest to God thou shalt need none of these thinges neither minister nor Porter nor mediatour Christ alone both God and man is the onely Mediatour both of redemption and intercession Augustine lib. 2. cap. 8. contra epist. Parmeniani Pro quo nullus interpellat sed ipse pro omnibus hic vnus verusque mediator est He that praieth for al and none for him he is the onely and true Mediatour Epiphanius contra Colliridianos Ne cōmedas de ligno etsi pulchrum est lignum non tamen ad esum etsi pulcherrima est Maria et virgo et honorata non tamen ad adorationem nobis data sed ipsa adorans eum qui ex ipsa carne genitus est Thou mayest not eate of the tree said God to Adam though the tree bee faire and pleasant to behold yet is it not giuen to be eaten on So though the virgin Marie be most beautifull in al vertue an holy virgin and honorable yet was she not giuen to be woorshipped but she her selfe did woorship him which was borne of her as touching the fleshe He sayth further Sit in honore Maria pater filius et spiritus sanctus adoretur Mariam nemo adoret Let the virgin Marie be had in honour the father the sonne and the holy Ghost must be woorshipped as for the virgin Marie let no man woorship her All the Psalmes of Dauid all the praiers of the godly throughout the whole scripture are directed vnto God alone And in deede this is the olde and safe way warranted by the woorde of god As for the inuocation of Saintes in comparison of this way is a very newe waye though it be found in diuers auncient writers But it is a way found out of verie late tyme to turne all the Psalmes of Dauid into praiers to the virgin Marie and to turne and chaunge Dominus into Domina the Lorde into our Ladye as Bonauentura a schooleman of great estimation among the Papists hath doone As for example Where Dauid saith in the fourth Psalme Heare me when I call O God of my righteousnes c. Bonauentura sayth Cum inuocarem exaudiuisti me domina et e sublimi solio tuo mei dignata es recordari When I cried thou heardest me O our Lady and vouchedstsafe to remember mee from thy highe throne Where Dauid saith in the sixtenth Psalme Preserue me O Lord for in thee haue I put my trust Bonauen saith Preserue me O our Lady for in thee haue I put my trust Where Dauid saith in the 54. Psal. Saue me O god for thy names sake auenge me in thy strēgth Bonau saith Domina in nomine tuo saluum me fac et ab iniustitiis meis libera me Saue me O Lady for thy names sake deliuer me from mine vnrighteousnes Where Dauid saith in the 110. Psalme The Lord said vnto my Lord sit thou on my right hand vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole Bonauentura saith The Lord said vnto our Lady O my mother sit on my right hand c. And not onely the Psalmes of Dauid turneth he thus but also the Song of Moses the praier of Ezechias Te Deum Benedictus Benedicite Quicunque vult and the whole Letanie And yet notwithstanding these blasphemies Pope Sixtus the fourth of that name did canonize this Franciscane Frier for a Saint in the yeare of our Lord 1482. But this is a new way and a great way about to turne our praiers from God most mercifull most mightie most able to helpe vs and most willing to heare our praiers and to poure them out not onely vnto the dead who whether they heare vs or no we can not tell but also to stockes and stones which haue eyes and see not eares and heare not mouthes and speake not handes and handle not feete and walke not But it is true that foloweth in the same Psalme They that make them are like vnto them and so are all they that put their trust in them Let vs therefore stand vpon the wayes and consider c. The old way to minister the Lordes supper is that which our sauiour Christe did goe in himselfe and commaunded his Apostles to walke in also set downe in the 26. cap. of Sainte Matth. the. 14 of Sainte Marke the 22. of Saint Luke and the 11. of the 1. Cor. That Christe in the same night that he was betrayed toke breade and when he had geuen thankes hee brake it and gaue it saying Take eate this is my bodie whiche is giuen for you doe this in remembraunce of me Likewise after Supper he tooke the cup and when he had giuen thankes he gaue it them saying This is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for manie for remission of sinnes doe this as ofte as ye shall drinke it in remembraunce of me for as ofte as ye shall eate of this bread and drinke of this cuppe ye shew the Lordes death vntill he come The Apostles

wine This no doubt was catholike doctrine in the dayes of these fathers this was thold way that our Sauiour taught them But the Papistes haue found a new way that the wordes of consecration being pronounced the bread wine are transubstantiat into the reall bodie and blood of Christ yea into Christe himselfe yea into God him selfe per concomitantiam For so we reade in the Legend of Saintes added vnto Lombardica historia There are in God three kindes of power magna maior maxima As for example The great power of God appeared when he made one thing of an other as man of the earth and woman of the ribbe of man But the greater power of God appeared when he made heauen and earth of nothing But this is the greatest power of all that one creature of an other creature should make the creatour And this power is giuen neither to Angell nor Archangell but to the holy Priestes What is blasphemie if this be not blasphemie Surely I cannot tell God that made all thinges is not made himselfe neither can he make himselfe for if he could be made he were not god And shall a sinfull miserable Popish Priest in a corner take vppon him to make the maker of all Let vs therefore giue eare vnto the Prophets counsell Let vs stand vppon the wayes and consider inquire of the olde wayes which is best and walke therein and we shall finde rest them that the people did receiue the Lords supper in both kindes And so they doo in the Greeke Church vnto this day Gabriel Biel a schoole Doctor confesseth that this institution continued in the church a greate while neither can he tell when one kinde beganne to be vsed first nor how it came in And Alphonsus confesseth also that although he had bestowed greate paine to know how and when the people began first to receiue in one kinde yet coulde he not finde it out And surelie it was neuer taken to be heresie to keepe Christes holy institution before the Councel at Constantia in the yeare of our Lord 1417. Let vs therfore stand vpon the wayes and consider aske of the olde wayes c. Thirdlie Christ in his last supper did not sacrifice for the quicke and the dead for the sinnes of the whole world for that did he once for all vppon the altare of the Crosse Which oblation beeing most perfect neither can nor needeth to be repeated For repetition is an argument of imperfection Heb. 10. Moreouer whereas there are foure thinges to be considered in Sacrifices as Saint Augustine saith Quis Quid Cui pro Quibus Who dooth offer What dooth he offer To whom And for whom Who dooth offer A Prieste What dooth hee offer A sacrifice To whom dooth he offer vnto God to whom onely sacrifice is due For whom dooth he offer for men that are sinners In all others these foure thinges are distinct one from an other First the Priest Secondly the Sacrifice Thirdly almightie God to whom and fourthly sinful men for whom sacrifice was offered But in Christ only these foure did concurre in one Christ was the Priest Christ was the sacrifice Christ was all one as touching his diuine nature with the father to whom he was offered and as touching his humane nature sinne onely excepted all one with vs for whom he offered him selfe And with this one oblation hath he made perfect for euer those that are sanctified as saith Saint Paule to the Heb. 10. For the continuall memorie of which sacrifice he did institute the holy sacrament of his blessed bodie and bloode to continue in the Church vntill his second comming for our full redemption Doo this saith he in remembraunce of me And as oft as ye shall eate of this breade and drinke of this cuppe ye shewe the Lordes death vntill his comming It is true that the olde fathers with one consent call it a sacrifice But they expounde themselues not to meane of a real offering of a reall bodie really present But of a Sacrament of that real oblatiō which he made once for all vppon the Crosse For as it is called the body and blood of Christ both in the Scriptures and in the auncient writers because it is a holy sacrament of Christes body and blood so is it tearmed of the olde writers a Sacrifice and the selfe same sacrifice that Christ did once offer vppon the Crosse because it is a Sacrament of that oblation to put vs in a thankefull remembraunce thereof Chrisostome and Saint Ambrose doo say That wee offer vppe Christ daily But we doo it in remembrance of his death and worke a memorie of that sacrifice He was offered vppe once But this sacrifice is as it were a copie drawen out of the first originall to put his death and passion alwaies in our remembraunce Augustine also in the 20. booke against Faustus sayeth That the Iewes before Christes comming in offering vp the sacrifices appointed in the law did promise and prophesie of Christes oblation vppon the crosse Christe when hee died did perfourme it in deede and we Christians now after his ascention into heauen doe celebrate the memorie thereof in the Lordes Supper But the Papistes are not content with this But they say they haue him really present and holde him vp in their handes in the same quantitie that he was vppon the Crosse though not after the manner of quantitie and reallie offer him vp to the father Brulifer saith Quem totus mundus capere non potest noster captiuus est non ergo dimittamus priusquam quod petimus obtineamus Whom the whole worlde cannot conteine is now our captiue therfore let vs not let him goe vntill he haue graunted our request This and such like blasphemies wherin they giue to creatures the honour due to GOD they call Spirituall daliance But it is indeede more than daliance for it is plaine Spirituall fornication Therefore let vs followe the Prophets Counsel Stand vppon the waies and cōsider aske of the old waies which is best c. Last of all Christe did not institute a priuate Masse but a Communion he willed all that was present to take and eate he commaunded them all to drinke In the Church of Corinthus and in all Churches many hundred yeares after Christe it was the action of the whole Churche wherein many eating of one breade shoulde bee made one mysticall bodie It appeareth by Iustinus Martyr in his Apologie to the Emperour Antonius for the Christians Cyprian Ambrose and the Liturgies that goe abroade in the name of Iames of Basil of Chrisostome and the oldest writers that when the Lordes Supper was ministred there was some parcell of scripture read a Sermon made vnto the people a collection for the poore and all that was present did communicate Chrisostome saith Qui mysteriorum particeps non est improbus et impudens adstat Hee is an impudent looker on that beeyng present doeth not communicate This was Catholike
