A POORE MANS MITE A letter of a Religious man of the Order of Saint BENEDICT vnto a Sister of his concerning the Rosarie or Psalter of our blessed Ladie Commonly called the Beades âœš IHS Printed with license of Superiors M.DC.XXXIX A Poore Mans Mite A Letter of a Religious Man of the Order of S. BENEDICT vnto a sister of his concerning the ROSARIE or PSALTER of our blessed LADY commonly called the BEADES Deare Sister I Haue sent you a small token of my no smal loue a paire of plaine Beades together with the explication thereof The (a) 1. Reg. 18 19. Prophet Dauid vsed to sing certaine spirituall Ditties or Songs to his Harpe with which melodie hee so appeased the spirit of furie wherewith King Saul was possessed and grieuously tormented that notwithstanding hee was so incensed against Dauid that he would haue slaine him hee was faine to forbeare for the great ease hee enioyed by his melodie yea and whilest hee sang in his presence he had no power to execute his wicked purpose vpon him as if he had enchaunted him by the sweetnesse thereof as indeede it seemed to doe These Songs are called Psalmes of Psallo a latine word which in english signifieth to sing because they were sung to the Harpe and the whole number of them are called Dauids Psalter They are registred amongst the Bookes of Canonical Scripture and accounted a principall part thereof so mysterious that they are appliable and correspondent to all the affections and motions of our minde whatsoeuer They are spirituall Manna (b) Sapient 16. vers 20. Exod. 16. vers 14. Num. 11. vers 7. hauing the taste of euery good thing we can desire In regard whereof a certaine Father affirmeth whatsoeuer is contayned in all the other Bookes of holy Scripture by way of Prophecie Doctrine or Example is comprised in this by way of spirituall Songs and prayses of God the seuerall Verses whereof are as it were so many iaculatorie darts cast vp to heauen and therefore they are altogether vsed in the Church-Seruice and in the Office of our blessed Lady commonly called the Primmer and in the Manuall of Prayers as a most soueraigne and sanctified deuotion to please God and appease the furie of our ghostly enemie the Deuill who like another Saul seeketh the destruction of our soules The number of theses Psalmes are one hundred and fiftie and are called as I said before the Psalter of Dauid To the imitation of this holy Psalter the Church hath ordained another diuine Psalter called the Psalter of Iesus coÌ„monly set in the latter end of the Manuall of Prayers consisting also of the like number that is to say fifteene Petitions with ten Inuocations to each Petition And to the same imitation the Church hath instituted yet another Psalter of our blessed Lady the glorious Virgin Mary commonly called the Rosarie or Psalter of our blessed Lady or the Beades consisting of the like number of Aue Maries and is diuided into three parts each part consisting of fiftie Aue Maries wherevnto are added fiue Pater nosters to wit one betweene euery ten Aue Maries and a Creede at the end This Psalter is nothing inferior vnto the other two but rather so much the more soueraigne by how much more excellent the wordes and mysteries thereof are The Pater noster for sanctitie and pithynesse no Prayer comparable vnto it proceeding from the sacred mouth of Christ (a) Matth. 6. vers 9. Luc. 1. vers 29. and instituted by him as a generall forme of Prayer The Aue Mary indited by the most blessed Trinitie in heauen and brought as an Ambassage vnto the earth by the Arch-angell Gabriel b for most ioyfull tydings of the Redemption of Mankinde the blessed Virgin Mary being saluted and honored with the miraculous Motherhood of the VVorlds Redeemer The Creede contayneth the twelue principall articles of our Faith wherevpon as most certaine and infallible foundations our holy Catholike beliefe without which (a) Ephes 2. vers 20. Hebr. 11. vers 5. it is vnpossible to please God is built and erected and was composed by the twelue Apostles each of them making one seuerall Article which in regard thereof is called in Latine Sâ—mboâ—um Apostolorum that is to say The Shot of the Apostles alluding to an Ordinarie whereas euery one of the Commensals lay downe their shot or share And as this Creed is a geuerall Summe of all our beliefe so are the Pater noster and Aue Marie generall formes of prayer and praisings of God which may be applyed to all the particular affections and motioÌ„s of our minde whatsoeuer wee desire to obtaine at the hands of Almightie God as the Psalter of Dauid may And as our Sauiour Christ commended the Pater noster vnto vs saying When you pray pray thus Our Father c. So our blessed Lady in her Hymne of Magnificat commended the Aue Marie vnto vs saying For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed for with what words I pray you can wee more properly and pleasingly to God and Her call her blessed then by the Aue Marie wherewithall the Angell Gabriel was sent from Heauen to salute her so as aforesaid The mysterie of the number of prayers in this holy Rosarie or Psalter is this In the old Law (a) Leuit. 25. vers 10. before the comming of Christ euery Fiftieth yeere was a yeere of Iubile wherein there was a generall forgiuenesse of all debts crimes and grieuances whatsoeuer and a reducing of all things to their former qualitie and state in which all grieuances being redressed the whole earth did seeme to reioyce and clap her hands and therefore had the appellation of the yeere of Iubile or Iubilation that is to say of exceeding ioy and iubilation and this was indeed a figure of the most ample remission of sinnes in the new Law by the Death and Passion of Christ Iesus expressed more plainly by the descending of the holy Ghost the Fountaine of Grace and Remission of sinnes vpon the Apostles and Disciples of Christ Fiftie dayes after his Death and Resurrection vpon the feast of Pentecost or Whitsunday so called in regard of the number of fiftie dayes Wherefore by the number of fiftie Aues Maries whereof the third part of the said Psalter consisteth is aptly signified remission of sinnes By the fiue Pater nosters is signified the fiue principall wounds of Christ which fiue wounds may bee resembled to those Cities of refuge in the old Law (a) Dcuter 15. vers 2. as it were places of Sanctuarie for all Offenders to flie vnto for refuge against their persecuting Foes either spirituall or corporall By the ten Aue Maries betweene the Pater nosters is signified the ten Commandements By the Creede is signified the Catholike Faith or Beliefe out of which there is no saluation or possibilitie of pleasing God as aforesaid So that all this put together signifieth thus much wheÌ„ we say this holy Psalter
