number with the Iewish ceremonies but also doe excéede them far neither haue our churchmē bin contented to fetche a great part of theyr Ceremonies from the Iewes but ro●bed the Pagans and the idolatrous Et●nicks also of theirs to patch vppe the● heape as appeareth moste euidentlye 〈◊〉 their sacrifice of the Masse as ther ter● it for it is botched and clowted parte● with the superstitious ceremonies of t●● Iewes and the Gentiles but chiefly an● principallye of the rites instituted 〈◊〉 Numa Pompilius Arnobius a verye auntient Doctour wrote an Apollogie in defence of Christian religion wherein hée sayth that th● Ethnickes founde verye greate fault with the Christians bicause they neithe● dedicated their churches to god nor builded altars nor set no incense vpon them nor had no vessell of siluer and golde t● serue for holy vses wherwith they migh● do seruice vnto God and beautifie their Temples But if those that blamed this want of these things among the Christians in those times wer now aliue in our dayes and should behold the popish ceremonies in their Sinagogs they coulde scarcely beleue them to be Christians or at the leaste they coulde finde no suche ●aulte with the Romishe religion nowe ●s they founde with the Christian religi●n then But forasmuche as the wordes of Arnobius containe in them a most no●able and excellent doctrine againste the horrible idolatry and superstition of our times I wil here annexe a fewe leaues out of Arnobius to the intent that youre Maiestye myght more euidentlye sée in what sorte they of the most auntient and perfectest Churches and that were nighe vnto the Primitiue church and to the Apostles times did serue god how much their seruice differed from the pomp and multitude of ceremonies vsed of the Pope in his church Now saith he that I haue generallye declared what wycked and blasphemous opinions you houlde of youre Gods it followeth consequentlye that I speake somewhat of youre Temples and youre Sacrifices and other the consequences that depende héere vppon for thys is a matter whyche you are wonte speciallye to challenge vs for and to laye to oure chardge as a horrible impietie That wée buylde 〈◊〉 churches for diuine seruice we set vp 〈◊〉 grauen nor paynted Images of anye 〈◊〉 the Gods we reare no altars nor sprin●kle no bloud of fatlings therevppon n● burne no incense nor bring in no cor●● nor wine to bee poured into cuppes th● which things we omit and leaue vndon not of any wicked and godlesse intent o● for any contempt againste God but bycause we thincke and are certaynely perswaded that if they be Gods indede and worthy that name they do either laugh at these kinds of worshipping and seruice as follies and fantasies or else are greuously offended with them if there be in them either of these affections the one or the other either disposition to reioycing or motion to indignatiō and displeasure for bycause you shall vnderstande what opinion wée haue of the verye name of God and howe we iudge thereof we are perswaded that if they be Gods in déede to repeate the same ioyntly togither agayne they bée indued wyth all kinde of vertues moste perfectly and most abundauntly as wisedome iustice grauitie if wée maye wythout blame gyue them suche termes of praise and commendation as we vse towards men excelling in al inward gifts without néeding the help of any external things forasmuche as the fulnesse and perfection of all happiness● and felicitie is absolute in them that they are frée from all affections voide of anger not moued wyth luste or sensualitie harmefull to none not delighted wyth the miseries and calamities of others not fearing men with straunge and rare visions not chargyng them wyth theyr vowes nor sending signes of threate and anger to the intent that men shuld make sacrifices of expiation nor plagues or pestilences or other diseases by the infection of the ayre nor making dearthe by droughtes nor presenet at the sheading of bloude by warres or vnpeopling of Cities not partial as fauourable and inclining to some contrariwise frowning vppon others but rather yelding equally and indifferently to either parte and affectionated alike in good will towardes all for it is an argument of a weake and féeble nature to be subiect to contrarieties and the determinations of Sages concerning this point hath béene that they whiche are touched with affections haue sense and féeling of grief and sorrowe either more or lesse and that it is not possible but that they whiche are any wayes subiect to affections are subiect also vnto mortalitie The case then being thus howe can we iustly be thoughte to contemne God séeing wée denye that any can bée déemed woorthye that name excepte he be iuste and vprighte and such as is praise worthye and honorable in the iudgement and estimation of them that be best affected But yée will obiect against vs perhaps that we build no temples for seruice of them nor worship their images nor offer them no sacrifices nor burne thē no incense what I pray you can you require more at our hands or what greater worshippe or honour can wée yéelde them than to place them in the same degrée in the which we put the chiefe Lorde and supreame head of all by whome the very celestiall bodies haue their being as well as we For doe wée honour hym wyth building of Churches and Temples or doe we slay any sacrifices for him or present him with any other things wherof ther is no sounde reason to be yéelded but onlye a foolishe continuance of a blinde custome For what follye and madnesse is it to measure the Maiestye of God by our necessities and for bicause suche thinges séeme for the vse of man to yéelde them therefore vnto God who gaue the same vnto man and to be perswaded that by thus dooing thou doste hym honour and not rather greatly dishonour hym To what what vse then I pray you doe we séeke so much for Temples and churches for Gods vse or what néede was there say you why they shoulde either be built at the firste or nowe be repaired do they fréese wyth the colde in Winter or broile in the heat of Sommer or can the cloudes drowne them with raine or are they tossed with whirlewindes or afraid to be inuaded or ouercome with enimies or rente in péeces wyth wilde beastes that therfore there shuld be cause to kepe them in close house and defende them by stone walles for what are these Temples I praye you in respect of men and in oure féeble iudgement very huge and vaste But in comparison of the might and Maiestie of God a little small corner or rather a straighte and a very narrowe hole The firste builder wherof if yée liste to knowe them was either Ph●roneus the Egiptian or Merops or as Varro wryteth in hys treatie of wounders Aeacus Iupiters sonne be they therfore builte wyth marble or beautified wyth golde or adorned with Iewells and precious stones or
