the word of Messe or of in the Romane tongue to be deriued from the auncient Romane Idolaters and not from the Hebrewes not the Greekes we must now discend to the vestments of these Missalian Sacrificers But by the way we must not omit the name of Pontife or Pontifex taking also it 's originall from the Romanes as we declared in our Commentaries The stile also of Pope proceeding from the ancient Idolaters who vsed to ●nstile their God Iupiter calling him Pope Iupiter but especially the Bithinians and Scithians Which word Papa comes from the Greeke word Papus which is to say great Father As also the true title subscribed to any sutes presented to the great Romane Pontife is Most blessed Father The next purple Pontifes are termed most reuerend Fathers and petty Bishops reuerend Fathers all of them retayning this word Father or Pope Great Father which was wont to be a common name to all Bishops but afterwards the great Romane Pontifes reserued it onely to themselues Another title is also retayned for the Demie Bishops termed Curates who are superintendants in euery Parish borrowing this nomination from the ancient Romane Curates which is to say a rasing or shauing because the ancient Curions and Sacrificers were cut and shauen in their heads after the Babilonian manner or of the Herculean Pontifes called for this reason Stephanophores as wearing a Crowne vpon their heads Neuerthelesse by the reason that all the members of the Missall Sacrifice deriue from the Pompilian Religion● wee should wrong the ancient Romane Idolaters to take from them the originall of these names Masse Pontife and Curate as may be iustified by the Romane Histories As for the vestment of Missall Sacrificers Numa ordained that it should be white called by the Latine word Alba an Aube which name of Aube continues to this day for the vestment of him that sacrificeth and celebrates Masse Moreouer aboue his Aube the Priest was appointed to weare a Tunickle painted and aboue that the ornament of a Pectorall of copper or brasse afterwards changed into gold or siluer which the Missalists terme a Chasuble They also vsed a vaile to couer their heads when they sacrificed called Amictus first instituted by Aeneas These are the principall vestments instituted by Numa more then 700. yeares before the Incarnation of Iesus Christ T is true that since there haue beene many Iewish ornamens added as the Stole Ephod Zone or Centure the Myter or Theare and some other decorations the better to pownce and set forth the great Babilonish whore But the Missalians desirous to alter the original of their Missall vestments pretend that the Aube is a figure of Iesus Christs conuersation in the flesh or the purity of his body incarnate in the wombe of the virgine Others interprete the white colour to signifie chastity and continencie Some minding to mocke and make Playes sophistically of the Passion of Iesus Christ say that by the Aube the white Robe is represented which was offered by Herod to Christ when he was sent back againe like a foole to Pylat Philo the Iew a more worthy Philosopher in his Treatise of Dreames subtilly deuiseth that the Aube signifies the solidity of the most resplendant light of the Dyetie which he calls Ens. The linnen also whereof the Aube is made they expresse for the subtilty of the Scriptures As for the Amict inuented by Aeneas they adulterate it for the Vayle wherewith Christ was couered when the Iewes mocking him in Caiphas house did smite him Titilman one of the subtilest Missalians deuiseth that in the Amict Christs Deuinity concealed in his humanity was intimated Some likewise confesse that the Amict was subrogated in stead of the Iewish Ephod by the Zone Maniple and Stole which are three Ligaments they vnderstand the three Cordes wherewith Christ was bound and drawne before the high Priests and after that before the Romane Lieutenants in Iudea Biel another pregnant Missalian by the Zone conceiues the rods wherwith Christ was scourged By the Stole extended in forme of a Crosse there was signified the Gibbet or Crosse which Christ bare vpon his shoulders The Maniple also which he weares on his left arme to figure the band of loue wherewith Christ was bound Another Mummerie they haue for the Zone wherewith the Aube is trussed and this signifies the band of Gods charity The Stole put ouer the Amict at the Missalians necke in forme of a Crosse deciphers Christs obedience euen to the death of the Crosse The Maniple worne on the left hand signifies the reward of Christs eternall felicitie Other sophistries there are vpon the Amict as that it represents faith the Stole humility and obedience the Maniple the vigilancie and hearty deuotion of the Missalian Priest Tittilman hath another subtle deuise for the Maniple worne on the Priests left hand which as he saies doth expresse the battaile and power of Christ against all visible and inuisible dominations being as a buckler against all temptations and the Buttons of the Maniple portend finall perseuerance He also further sophisticates that by the left hand is vnderstood the humane infirmity of Christ which being tyed with the Maniple that Christ is tyed and bound by his diuinitie like a mad man Brunus another Missalian Doctor fantasticates that by the Maniple is inferred the Missalian Priests speciall care to driue away bad affections or else that it figures the Cord wherewith Christ was bound by the Iewes and that the Stole is a figure of the Lords yoake which the Masse-priest must weare garnished with the Armes of Iustice on the right and on the left hand The other painted Ornament instituted formerly by the Magitian Numa they disguise by the name of a Planet as an errant Vestment otherwise called a Cap or Chasuble which they say resembles the Purple Robe presented to Christ in Pilates Hall when they mocked and called him King of the Iewes There is another sophistrie how this Vestment implies the Nature of Christ wherein the Deity was couched Philo the Iew immitating Plato interprets this Vestment so adorned with colours to be a Figure of the signes and coelestiall Starres Now the Masse-Priest being roabed with his Aube Amict Zone Maniple Stole and his Chasuble or Cap of diuers colours he must stretch out his armes to play two parts at an instant represented by the Chasuble whose quarter before is lesse then that behinde figuring herein the Primatiue Church from Abel till Christ and by the after part more ample and enricht with the signe of the Crosse Christian people are signified This Chasuble must be ioyned to the Amict which was in the beginning in the head to represent the coniunction of Christ with his Church The Aube also must be correspondent to the Chasuble to intimate how Christ applied himselfe to our infirmities Besides the aboue mentioned Vestments Philo the Iew addes a Myter to declare the Messalians royall Diadem who must
