easily superstition findes entrance into England and how hardly it is rooted out that former Maledict Monke Benedict as they call him found so little entertainment in France that he made little stay there onely stomacking that the Worship was not after the Romish Order he certified his Master by a grievous complaint who being more moderate than the Monke bid him take that which was good in every Church but England found that that would not serve him of whose Masse and mischiefe it could never yet be ridde It is also worthy your observing how hee laid the foundation of the Masse and established it in blood yea that See of Canterbury in him and his successors hath beene a See of bloud yea it is too well knowne that that cursed Masse whether Latine or English hath lived in bloud and bathed in the bloud of bodies soules and states as shall be more particularly manifested hereafter Now for any thing that can be said in defence of this Idol the Mosse booke it is not worth the citing and hath beene more than abundantly refuted yet one touch for a taste and that upon Prayâ—rs because it is the subject of our discourse we will shew you one place out of the Old Testament and another out of the New such as they make choice of to defend their Masse or Liturgy as they call it the place of the Old Testament is in Genes cap. 4. vers. 26. the words are these Then men began to call upon the name of the Lord as there bee diversity of thoughts upon the meaning of the words so Perierius a Popish Frier will have this the meaning that then they found out some set forme or order of Prayer to gaine footing forsooth to the Popish Liturgy but say it were so what would it make for them The Doctors of Doway are of the same opinion and fuller also in their words it is meant say they of publique Prayer with observing some Rites and set forme in a particular place dedicated to divine service Grant that that were the meaning as indeed it is not yet what would this make for them Would the faithfull Prayers of the godly Patrtarchs confirme or would they not rather confute the abhominable prayers of the Popish Masse the word Invocat in the first language signifieth also to prophane though not so in this place for it suteth not with the sense but if this were the sense then the Papists might well take a hint to parallel their unhallowed Masse which is nothing but an high prophanation of the Name of God The other place which I touch upon and which they doe egregiously abuse as they doe many more is from the New Testament 1 Tim. 2. vers 1. I exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercessions and thanks-givings bee made for all men out of which words of the Apostle the Rhemists make this deduction that the prayers and petitions of the Masse are deduced out of the Apostle his words producing or rather traducing the Fathers making them speake that for the Masse which they never meant the transcription of all the passages would be too tedious but let Master Cartwrights answer suffice First by way of Concession grant the Masse-booke to have the same prayers in it that the Apostle commands will it therefore follow saith he that their prayers is the true service of God no more than the using or rather abusing of the words of Justification This is my body makes for the justifying of Transubstantiation Inchanters and Charmers use many holy words in their charmes as they doe with a peece of the first Chapter of Saint Iohns Gospell but it aggravateth their sinne This plea from good words is or hath beene too frequent in the mouthes of some professors whom vvee desire to satisfie vvith this answer Againe if their vvhole Liturgy or Service bee here as they say vvhere are their Mattens Even-song Complin Procession Dirgie c. As for the name Masse used by the Fathers vve are to understand as Morney and others vvell observe that as the Church finding ease and grovving in vvealth under and after Constantines time fell to grovv a little gawdie to please the Gentiles and also to allure both the Jevves and Gentiles the Christians vvere content to heare and speake antiquated names as Altars Sacrifices Priests and so fell in the vvord Missa but it is as cleare on the other side that never one of the Fathers alleadged nor Orthodox Counsels did use any of these vvords in their sense and this may suffice for the Popish Masse They also abuse that place of the Acts 13. 2. translating it as they were saying Masse but the foolery of it as hath beene said ansvvereth it selfe The Masse then being such a peece as it vvas Englands great unhappinesse to lie so many yeares under the burthen of such an abhomination so vvhen the light of the Gospell sprung up to fetch us out of darkenesse and from the shadovv of death it vvas great incogitancy to speake the least in our Reformers in King Edwards dayes to take a Monke from among the Canaanites and putting a coat of English cloath upon it to represent it being an uncleane beast as a service to the Lord it is no better truely than the excommunicate thing What had vve to doe vvith the river of Nilus hovv could vve looke to picke gold out of the Popes dunghill vvhere there is nothing but myre and dirt It is true that Heathenish Rome sent the sonnes of their Senators to the Etrurians to have their instructions for ordering of their Religion but vvhy should vve vvhen God had brought us out of Babel or Antichristian Rome turne immediately in againe to take a patterne out of it for the service of our God this is an expresse thvvarting of the Booke of God vvhose Omniscience should onely appoint in his owne worship witnesse that order and appointment given from him by Mâ—ses to the Israelites first hee layeth it downe affirmatively Observe and heare all these words that I command thee and he inforceth it with a strong reason it shall goe well wuh thee and thine when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Iehovah thy God but now least they should patch up his service with some Heathenish tricks he strictly inhibites them so much as to enquire after their Gods saying thus How did these Nations serve their Gods even so will I doe likewise where the Hebrews observe two things are observable First I dolatrous service is not to be enquired after because that occasioneth a turning in to it and secondly all imitation of such service is forbidden Crprtans complaint cited by the answers to the Humble Remonstrance sutes well to this purpose Ad hoc malorum dâ—voluta est Ecclesia Dei sponsa Christi c.

which God forbid then might Christ say unto you as David to his kindred yee are my brethren yee are my bones and my flesh wherefore are ye the last to bring back the King Wherein if you will not be faulty but intend as we verily hope you do to bring back the King then let it be your speciall honour to make the paths of the Lord straight by removing of that rubbish that the King of glory may enter in The second Motive is from the Danger of not removing of the Service-booke Danger as all know is the strongest motive to cause a people or nation to take heed Histories report that danger hath made a dumb man speak The danger from this Service-book may be looked upon in a twofold respect namely Ã priori from that which is past and Ã posteriori from that which is like to ensue the former may also be looked upon in a way of prophesie or in a way of performance the men and servants of God to whom he was pleased to reveale himselfe in more then an ordinary way especially in time of persecution or some pressure lying upon them have foretold how the house of David should wax weak and the house of Saul should wax strong that is Popery should make head and the truth of Christ should suffer much and many in triall should forsake it according to that of Simeon a sword shall pierce thorow thine own soule also that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed Luke 2. 35. where by the swords piercing of the soule according to all the ancient is meant the wounding sorrowes of the mother of Christ at his sufferings and by the revealing of the thoughts is meant the discovery of some stumbling or taking scandall at his death Chrysostome Austin Origer Ambrose Theophylact and what is the ground of all this but these dregs of Poperie now in controversie and the hurtfull Hierarchie one of these upholding another a godly and famous Minister preaching to the banished beyond Seas in Queene Martes time that Gods anger was much provoked against England for slacknesse to reforme when they had time place and power and so it was indeed for he cast back that partiall reformation into the flames of Antichristian tyrannâ—â— and gave many up unto fearfull Apostacy Further the good man said it stood them upon it to looke to it and to be circumspect for fear of after-claps meaning that a partiall reformation would not serve God will never indure as hath been said the posts and threshold of Baal and his to stand together the like more fully was delivered by Master Râ—gers that honourable Proto-martyr in his dayes when the Gospell should be established in England if the Kingdome of Antichrist were not utterly cashiered and totall reformation made in Gods worship that our persecution should be greater and our triall hotter then in the dayes when he and other suffered if we will not remove that which is an abomination to God as this Booke is proved to be it is just with God to cast us away One more of this kind from a Peer of this land who on his death bed cryed Wo to England because they turned all their religion into politie dangerous experience hath taught us the truth of these predictions for from that halting reformation after Queen Maryes death wherein we pleased our selves with Agrippa his almost in the originall {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} but a little the Babylonians and Edomites Prelates and Jesuits under the favour of their Canons got at length such footing and made such head for Popery Arminianisme and that especially by causing the Nilus of that Service-booke to swell and heating the furnace of persecution that Religion and Politie the two twins of Gods favour were ground like to Archimedes his tomb so overgrown with thornes that it could not be found yea the woman in the Revelation was brought againe unto that strait as to think on nothing but of flight to the wildernesse And further how nigh were our neighbours and brethren the Scots to the pits brinke of ruine both of Religion and State and that by readmitting of these synonicall Prelates and the Trojan horse the Service booke to enter out of which if God had not beaten the braines we were like to have had a new Babylonish captivity yea we may both truly say with David There was but a step between us and death had not God set in as a present helpe in our distresse and raised you and others the men of his right hand in the very nicke of need our enemies as the Psalmist hath it had swallowed us up alive As we are gone thus far with the danger past and partly present so we desire your Honours leave to present the appearance as we conceive of future danger and that partly to the Church and State in generall and partly more particular to your selves if this Service-book be not removed to make both these dangers more visible let us compare our presentment with the ninth Position of Zions plea in these vvords If the Hierarchy be not removed and the Scepter of Christs Government namely Discipline advanced to its place there can be no healing of our sâ—are no taking up of our Controversie with God yea our desolations by his rarest Iudgements are like to be the astonishment of all Nations As the parts of the Position are soundly proved so the same may be said of the Service-booke and the very same Arguments concerning our danger will serve the one aswell as the other wherefore we intreat your Honours to review the Position and its proofes the Hierarchy and the Service-Booke are resembled already to Mother and Child so may they be to two twins begotten and born of Pride and Superstition nursed and brought up in the lap of Covetousnesse these twins are born together live together and must dye together a great Judge returning from the Circuit of the Emperours service and hearing his Wife to be alive replyed si
