A56184	A moderate, seasonable apology for indulging just Christian liberty to truly tender consciences, conforming to the publike liturgy in not bowing at, or to the name of Jesus, and not kneeling in the act of receiving the Lords Supper, according to His Majesties most gracious declaration to all his loving subjects concerning ecclesiastical affairs ... / by William Prynne, Esquire ...

name Jesus when mentioned in any of the Prayers of this Masse but his Title Dominus no lesse than 3. several times repeated So as the Compilers of this Masse these Prayers of Missa Votiva de S. CRVCE Festum duplex Triumphi CRVCIS reputed not the name Iesu the name above every name intended in this Text but his Name Lord which every tongue shall confesse quia DOMINVS Iesus Christus in gloria est Dei Patris as they all read this Text upon which they also ground their adoration of the Crosse of Christ and this Prayer for its adorers inserted into Missae propriae Sanctorum Hispan p. 114. Deus qui per Crucem tuam populo in te credenti triumphum contra inimicos concedere voluisti quaesumus ut tua pietate adorantibus Crucem victoriam semper trib●as honorem Qui vivis regnas as other Papists ●ounded their formentioned Iesus Psalter Psalmes in honorem Nominis Iesu Litaniae de Nomine Iesu Horae de Nomine Iesu Vesperae in Veneratione Nominis Iesu Festum minus duplex De dulcis nomine Iesu and a Prayer for those who adore the Name Iesus thereon all standing on the self-same Basis equally admitted embraced or rejected upon the self-same grounds which I desire all considerate conscientious Protestants seriously to observe who may as justly adore the Cros● as Name of Iesus In the year of our Lord 1578. Synodus Ebroicensis held in France made this Decree for all Church-wardens under their Popish Jurisdiction to put in execution Editui circumspiciant quid quisque aget in Ecclesia quomodo se g●rat a minimo usque ad maximum si ●aput aperiat genua cum opus est flectat Officio divino animum aures adhibeat si orationi incumbat Agente●● contraria cum aliquae reverentia modestia objurgent ad Officium cogant the intent of which Canon perchance extends to bowing the knee at the n●ming of Jesus and the Virgin Mary as well as to kneeling at Collects and Prayers The Popish Council of Rhemes since that viz. Anno Domini 1583. as Bochellus records made this Decree or Canon following In pronunciatione nominis Iesu cùm dicitur versus Gloria Patri capu● aperiant inclinent That in the pronouncing of the name Jesu and when the verse Glory be to the Father was said or read men should uncover and bow their heads Which Canon extends not unto Women who ought not to uncover their heads in the Church much lesse to come thither like so many Strumpets with cut broidred powdred hair as our Viragoes do of late whereas the words of Phil. 2.9 10. In the name of Iesus every knee should bow extend to women as well as men and rather to womens bowing who in their courtesies bow both their knees full low than to mens who in their common courtesies or legs at the name of Jesus or to men bow only one not both their knees whereas this Text requires every knee to bow and so enjoyns the bowing of both knees not one alone the courtesies of women not heads caps or legs of men here prescribed to bow at Gloria Patri The Popish Council of Bitures alias Concil Bituricense the very next year following viz. Anno Domini 1584. promulgated this Canon to the like effect In fine Psalmorum ubicunque Gloria sanctissimae Trinitati redditur omnes consurgant in invocatione ●ominis Iesu genu flectant Which may be construed as well of kneeling only in the invocation of the name of Jesus in Prayer as of bowing at the pronunciation of his name Jesus Besides these severall Popish Councils the Sorbonists about the year 1540. from Phil. 2.9 10. as Mr. Calvin Marloret and others on that Text record began to publish and teach this Doctrine that as oft as the name of Iesus should be m●ntioned as in some Portuasses and Masse-books it is repeated 20 30. yea 504. times together so often men must bow their knees for which Doctrine write Calvin Marloret ●nd Bishop Alley they are more than ridiculous Plusquam ridiculi sunt Sorbonici Sophistae c. After these the Rhemists about the year 1582. in their Notes in their Rhemish Testament on Phil. 2.9 10. sect 2. and on Apoc. 13. sect 7. set on this Ceremony in an higher strain where they write thus By the like wickedness● the Protestants charge the faithfull people for capping or kneeling when they hear the name of Iesus as though they worshipped not our Lord God therein but the Syllables or Letters or other materiall Elements whereof the word written or spoken con●isteth And all this by Sophistications to draw the people from due ho●our and devotion toward Christ Iesus which is Satans drift by putting scriples into poor simple mens minds about his Sacraments his Saints his Crosse his Name his Image and such like to abolish all true Religion out of the world and ●o make them plain Ath●i●●s But the Church knoweth Satans cogitations and therefore by the Script●re and reason warranteth and teacheth all her Children to do re●erence wh●●soever Iesus is named b●cause Catholicks do not ho●our these thing● nor count them holy for their matter colour sound and syllables but for the respect and relation they have to our Saviour bringing us to the remembrance and apprehension of Christ by ●ight hearing and use of the same signs else why make we not rever●nce at the name of Jesus the Son of Syrach as well as at Iesus Christ And it is a pitti●ull case to see these prophane subtleties of Hereticks to take place in Religion which were ridiculous in all other trade of life When we hear our Prince or Soveraign named we may without th●se scruples do obeysance But towards Christ it must be Superstitious And here it is much to be noted that the Protestants pulling down the Image of Christ out of all Churches and the sign of the Crosse from mens foreheads and taking away the honour and reverence of the name of Iesus do make room for Antichrists Image and mark and name Thus the Rhemists whose steps and genius some modern Protestant advocates and Patrons of bowi●g at the name of Jesus do follow to an hairs breadth though Dr. Fulk in his Answer to the Rhemish Testament Notes on Phil. 2. sect 2. and on Apoc. 13. sect 7.

Anno Domini 1600. corrected and published his Caeremoniale Episcoporum which he prescribed to be used in all Churches especially Metropolitan Cathedral and Collegiate without alteration or addition thereunto as his Bull prefixed to it attests afterwards dedicated to and approved by Pope Vrban the 8. In this Caeremoniale l. 2. c. 8. De Missa solemni Episcopo celebranti p. 206. there is this pres●ription to the Deacon who reads the Gospel in the Masse celebrated by the Bishop Tunc manibus junctis pro sequitur Evangelium Et cum profert nomen Iesu vel Mariae inclinat se sed profundius cum dicit Iesus quod et omnes faciunt But this bowing is only when the Gospel is reading and that to the name of Mary as well as of Iesus but somewhat lower to the name of Iesus then of Mary Since these I find some private Popish Authors especially the Iesuits who deriving their Name and Order from the name of Iesus do most stickle for this bowing at and to the name Iesus who have written in defence and Patronage of this Popish Ceremony As namely one Alphonsus Salmeron a famous Jesuit in his Works at large 1612. Tom. 1. Prolegomenon 24. De Dignit Majest Evang. p. 387 388. writes thus That certain Popes of Rome forecited by Lochmair and among the rest Pope Iohn the 22 who granted an ●ndulgence for 200. dayes to all who should either bow their knees or incline their heads or knock their breasts at the name of Jesus have taught that men are to bow their heads or knees at the naming of Iesus to represent the great humiliation and exaninition of Christ And That a certain Monk was ●●ffed by the Devil not by Christ which is observable for omitting this bowing c. And Operum Tom. 3. Tract 37. Vocatum est n●men ejus Iesus p. 335. he records That the name of Iesus is worthy all worship genu-fl●ction and adoration in whi●h name Paul would have every knee to bow both of things in Heaven and things in Earth and things under the Earth For this name whether it be pronounced with the mouth or heard with the ear or where ever it is written painted or ingraven is worthy Divine Worship not for the bare word writing or picture it self but for the signification of it as the Crosse and Image of Christ are deservedly adored with the worship of Lat●ia for the type and mystery represented in them c. The same Doctrine we shall find in Cornelius a Lapide a Jesuit in his Commentary on Phil. 2.9 10 in Antonius Scaynus Salodiensis Paraphras in Epist. ad Philip. cap. 2. vers 9 10 Venetiis 1593. fol. 142. in Iohannes Molanus Historiae S. Imaginum Antwerp 1617. lib. 3. cap. 1. pag. 244 245. and in Carolus Stengelius SS Nominis Jesu cultus Miracula cap. 23. where he quotes this Text of Phil. 2 9 10. and the Decree of Pope Gregory the 10. informing Protestants Ibid. p. 125 126. That Papists honour not the ●etter● Syllables or sound of the name Iesus but the thing contained and signified together with the sound and Syllables But some saith he may say Why do we bow at the name of Iesus rather than at the name of Christ I Answer Because Christ is not a proper name but a declaration of Christs Kingdom and power But Iesus is a proper name which he hath bought with his great pain and hath received as a reward of his labour For alth●ugh this name was imposed on him in his very Circumcision and promised to him in his Conception yet both these were done because he ought to do that in his time which the name doth signifie to wit to save his people Paul therefore affirms that this name was given to him because he actually performed this with his great pain Phil. 2. He humbled himself therefore God hath highly exalted him and given him a name above every name that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow c. Therefore this most honourable name is given because he merited it The name it self is thus honoured because he hath merited it As oft therefore as we Catholicks honour the name of Iesus by bowing the knee so oft we give unto him due and deserved honour which he hath merited with a great price so oft we do that we ought and are bound to do not only out of congruity for the greatnesse of the benefit conferred upon us but also out of debt by reason of the will and precept of the eternall Father who hath therefore given this name unto his Son that in this name every knee should bow that all should worship this name and in worshipping should confesse that Iesus is in the glory of his Father But as oft as the Hereticks who utter hear this name without any reverence because they have not the Holy Ghost do not worship this name as oft as they refuse to bow and worship as oft as they deride others who worship and bow the knee unto it so oft they violate the precept and will of God the Father so oft they do injury to God the Son and deny him his due honour so oft they contradict th● Apostle so oft they scandalize or rather deride the Church of God Finally so oft they do acceptable service to the Devil who hath in an especial manner taught them this and by th●m doth propagate this impiety unto others This and much more to like purpose doth this Benedictine Fre●r Stengelius write and publish in print Anno 1613. which I thought good in part to transc●ibe because it is almost verbatim the same with Bishop Andrews Sermon who took his materials and reasons from him and with Mr. Widdows and other late Protestants writings and Sermons to this purpose between whom and these there is now no difference at all in this point of bowing at the naming of Jesus for ought that I
