of the Masse meaned the sacrifice of thankes giuinge there wolde be lesse contencion But be cause they prate most folyshly defynynge the Masse to be a purgynge sacrifice which beyng dayly offred for the quicke and the deed taketh and putteth awaye not onely all veniall but also mortall synnes and so forthe Luther not without a cause defendeth the dignitie of the mercifull sacrifice agaynst these asses and the sacrifice of thankes gyuynge is admitted onely in to the supper of the lorde the whiche by vs maye be offred vp to God Poli. This treasure whiche is gyuen in the supper to them that beleue is suche so great that there is nothynge in the worlde so precious whiche maye in any wyse be conferred with it for it is no small thynge to be delyuered from synne to be accōpted iust before God yea and to be rewarded with eternall lyfe and that frely for Christes sake Then seynge it is so in my iudgement it is naughtely done yf we lykewyse do declare no kyndnes towardes so merciful a God in praysynge honorynge and gyuynge hym thankes continually for so great benefites for this the sacrifice of thankes gyuynge as I thynke meaneth Mith. Who wyll denye that seinge we haue in that thynge the manyfest commaunde mente of God And euen the holy goost also vseth to moue suche as beleue to the same Psal 49. Offre vp to God sayth the psalme a sacrifice of prayce perfourme thy vowes to the hyghest And in the thyrde chapter of Malachie it is sayd he wyll purge the sonnes of Leui wyll purifie them as golde or syluer and they shall offre vnto the lorde sacrifices in tyghtuousnes and the sacrifice of Iuda shall please the lorde so forth There is no doubte but that these must be vnderstode of Messias tyme wherfore this place contayneth bothe the sacrifices of the newe testamente It must be taken of the purgynge sacrifice wherin he geueth him selfe to vs whiche sayth he shall purge the chyldren of Leui and so forth For as we can not be purged from oure synnes but by Christe lykewyse by the same man we are become the sonnes of Leut that is preestes whome he wyll trye as golde or syluer But that must be taken of the sacrifice of thankes gyuynge which sayth they shall offre vnto the lorde in ryghtuousnes for seynge we that beleue are become nowe a kyngly preesthod it is mete that we offre incessauntly vnto the same the sacrifice of thankfulnes for suche a benefite Poli. you playe the phisician nowe in dede not for the body but for the woūdes of the soule for who wold euer haue loked for such exactues in diuiuitie of a phisitiane I heare verely and beleue the same that thes sacrefices of thankes geuynge perteyne equally to all Christians and for all this I thynke they be not all of one sort Mith. They that professe diuinitie no we adayes make two kyndes of workes of suche as byleue whiche maye be taken out of the two tables of the .x. commaundementes Thē what letteth that in thākes gyuynge we maye not make two kindes of sacrifices Poli. No thynge at all Mith. Then let the sacrifices of the fyrst sorte be wher in we declare the kyndnes of our mynde towardes God as truste of mercye feare of God mortyfyenge of the fleshe caulynge vpon God confessynge of the truthe prayse of God and cōtynuall thākes gyuynge for all our benefites eyther spirituall or corporal For this kynde of sacrifices must nedes be a moste pleasaunt sauour to God seynge it pertayneth to the trewe worshyp of God aswell inwardly as outwardly Poli. It is meruayle yf that continuall sacrifice whiche the prophetes prophecied shulde be in the churche conteyne not all these Mith. It is so you muste remembre also that the workes of the second table be as certayne sacrifices whiche partayne to the other parte of the sacrifice of thankes gyuynge Is it not a moost sure token of a thanckeful mynde to obey thy parētes magistrates for his cause which cōmaunded the same to abstayne from adultrie from thefte from robberie from all sortes of false swearyng from false witnessyng and brefely from all suche wherby our neighbour may be hurt Poli. They that be thus mynded towardes theyr neyghbour by the sterynge vp of the holy goost me thynketh do a thynge most acceptable vnto God so moche lacketh it that I accompte not suche workes for sygnes of a thanckefull mynde Mith. And vnfaythfull me can speake very well outwardlye of suche thynges the which thing euen Tullie alone approueth sufficiently and do some thynge in dede as beyng taught by the law of nature that we muste hurte no mā but because what soeuer they do they do it with out fayth they can by this kynde of sacrifice please God no more than they which in tymes past inuented Hecatom be Lupcalia Meditrinalia Nouendialia Fontanalia Penetralia Consualia and a thousande suche other Poli. Hyther I thynke perteyneth that by fayth Abell offred vn to God a more plentuous sacrifice then Cyin Hebre. 11. by which he obtayned wytnes that he was ryghtuous God testifienge of his gyftes by whiche also he beynge deed yet speaketh Mith. After the same sorte our sacrifices shall not please God onles they be seasoned with faythe but whye do I lette you with many wordes These thynges be taught euery daye in the pulpet you by youre selues maye reade inoughe concernyng this mater in bokes whiche be abrode that I nede not to teache you Poli. Thē this is the summe of those thynges that you haue spoken of hytherto This worde sacrifice agreeth not to the supper of the iorde onles it be taken for the remembraunce of the sacrifice ones done or for a thankes gyuynge Mith. The sacrifice whiche purgeth vs was ones fynysshed by Christes death vpon the crosse in somoch that as many as cleaue to hym by faythe shall certaynely obtayne forgyuenes of synnes and euerlastynge lyfe Therfore it can not be done agayne by a sacrificer but the sacrifice of thankes gyuynge pertayneth as well vnto all Christians as that we knowe that God hath gyuen vs innumerable benefites for whome we must thancke hym Therfore we must nedes continually vse this sacrifice Poli. I perceyue you entendynge not from hence forthe to folowe lyghtly a contrarie iudgement Mith. Then farewell and after suche tyme as you applye your mynde to diuinitie se that of agreate talker you become a great praecher Poli. It shal be done The trew worship of God Curio / Alutarius FRom whence come you with this youre Rosarie Aluta Out of S. Blases church Curi What made you there Aluta As thoughe you knowe not what men do there Curi I aske not that with out a cause for I meruayle howe it chaunceth that you had rather be in the churche whiche you haue hated alwayes as poysone thā in the tauerne Aluta Wel what soeuer I haue done is myn owne harme and not yours No the Lutherians haue
theyr beast for an ydoll deserued pardon after that sort that if certayne of my frindes had not cōueyed me awaye I had fedde fisshes in Tiber. Mith. What had you done I praye you Poli. I wil tel you Upon a certayne daye that same highest byshoppe which fearith all heauen with his lokes dyd sacrifice but with such pompe such pride such gorgeousnes that nothyng passed nowe I thynkyng wyth my selfe that excepte I sawe wyth my eyes the religion vsed in the cytie al my labour was loste I gote me in to the church and marked all thynges very curiously Mith. It is meruel if al thynges were not ful of hipocrisie Poli. I praye god I dye Mithobius yf euer I sawe any thynge more folysh or superstitious for sauyng the proud vestimētes asses brayenges the noyse of musicians a fewe childishe ceremonies nothyng apeared in all that sacrifice worthie to be loked vpon the wich be no parte of religion Mith. Luther then and other good men note them not with out a cause as the destroyers of true godlines Poli. I graunte that Luter is free in notyng them of hipocrisie and knauery but my iudgement is that they are worthie for theyr deuyllyshnes to be described of some behementer mā euen by some such as were in olde tyme as Eupolis or Cratinus or Aristophanes for as Horacesaith If any man for knauerie were worthie to be paynted For thefte or horedom yf any were attaynied If any for robbery had goten an euyll name In paiting of such their tōges were not lame Mith. I truste there wyll be euer more whiche wyll paynte theyr knauery acordynglye for asmoch as it is knowen by the gospell I am nowe very desirous to knowe howe you behaued youre selfe whē you saw the sacrifice held you your tounge or declared you your selfe to be angrie Poli. I wente out of the church and had muche ado to holde my tounge but afterwardes I wente to diner in myne Inne with a sorte of sacrificers which wonderfully praysed this pompeus seruice as that daye in the church whereby it came to passe that Luther was noted as one that vnworthilie reprouith the solemnitie of the Masse and other godly honours Many of them cursed the good man Many of them sayde his heresie wold not contine we longe Many of them sayede he was more deuylish and hurteful then any heretike which vexed the church in the fathets tyme wherfore Germanie is worthie seing it kepith thys monster to be compelled by sworde and fier to obaye agayne the Apostles seat Mith. But threates wyll not ouercome the Germanes for as much as they haue cast of the seruile yocke and haue recouered ther former libertie but made not thes folyssh wordes you to be angrie or mocked you those knaues by holdīg your peace I although I be no scolder must nedes haue ā swered them as bitterly Poli. I was somewhat heated with wyne the which also made me to be bolde for when they wold not ceace from reprouyng and had hurt my charitie at the length I set vpon them with wordes in lyke maner but with such that I made euery man to loke vpon me and to harken to me very anger lead me so farre that I sayde not only the Pope dissentith not from Antichriste both in tyrānie and in knauerie but also that al the table of sacrificers and monkes whiche cleaue to him are vnworthie whō the earth shuld carie to a certaine man asking whye so sayde I because they crucifie Christ euery daye whom the Iewes were contēte once only for to crucifie with this euery one was madde and to be shorte made suche a tumulte beynge ready out of hande to cōplayne of me vnto the officers that except certayne of my frendes had conueyghed me preuely vnto Tiber and there had taken shyppe whiche as chaunce was had her sayles spred redy to go I had ben trymmed Mith. yf you had spoken this in this place it had ben well but to saye so at Rome can not be suffered of these chyldren of darkenes Poli. And yet it can not be denyed but that to sacrifice as the papistes do is to crucifie Christe a newe / and haue you no busines but that we may talke of this mater a fewe wordes for I knowe that you be asmoche geuen to the scriptures as to phisike Mith. The cure of the body Eccle. 38. and confyrmacion of healthe be no thynges to be despysed namely seynge the holy scrypture commaundeth men to worship the phisitian but the cure of the soule passith thys farre as Christ teacheth in the gospel who will then denye that a christiane ought especially to knowe the medicines for the soules Poli. Then I praye you tel me howe the Masse ought to be cauled a sacrifice Mith. They be greatly deceyued in my iudgement which toke the sacrifice of the Masse for I wyl vse the comin worde for a satisfieng worke which both satisfieth for other mens sinnes and pacifieth goddes wrath that ys when the sacrificer saieth that he offreth vp to god the father Christis body and Christis bloode for the sinnes of the quicke and deade for who wyl ve so madde to beleue that a sacrificer cā a newe offce vp Christe contrarye to the scriptures which once was offred Hebre. 9. vpon the crosse for our sinnes he once died he once was offred Then as Paule sayth death hath no more power ouer hym so he beyng once offred colde be offred no more Poli. I am of the same mynde for I see yt cōfirmed euery where in the holy scripture but cheifly in the epistle to the Hebrues Hebre. 10. for on thys manet it is there with one offring hath he made parfeit for euer them that be sanctified Also in an other place Hebre. 9. Christ was once offred to take awaye the sinnes of many Mith. And yet liturgia maye by a certayne maner be cauled a sacrifice yf we wyll vse to speake of thys thynge as the olde mē vsed Poli. I am ready to heare howe certayne of the old mē vsed to speake Mith. Although Augustine foloing other mens maners caulieth the Masse a sacrifice yet we maye gather of the wordes whiche he wrote concernyng fayth to Peter the deacon howe thys maner of speakyng ought to be vnderstode and taken for thus he sayeth In those carnall sacrifices was a fygure of Christes flesshe whyche euen he that was without synne was determined to offre for oure synnes and of his blood the which he was determined to shede for the forgyuenes of our sinnes but in thys sacrifice is a thankys gyuynge and the remenbraunce of Chrstes flesshe the whiche he offred for vs and of hys bloode the whiche the same god shed for vs. Cauleth he not here the sacrifice of the supper a thankes gyuynge and remenbraunce of Christes flessh Poli. As farre as I can gather of Augustines wordes yf a mā take thys worde sacrifice for the remenbrauns of the sacryfice done ones vpon the crosse
