Blessed be God that hath geuen you liberty in the meane season that you may vse your penne to hys glory and the comforte as I heare say of many I blesse God dayly in you and all your whole company to whom I beseeche you commend me hartily Nowe I loue my country man in deed
sent to be our Byshop and also our Sacrifice he was sent from the Trinitie to be our Mediatour betwene God and vs and to reconcile ve to the fauour of God the Father he was the Byshop that offered for our sinnes and the Sacrifice that was offred and as he is our Byshop so is he our meane to pacifie God for vs for that was the office of a Byshop to sacrifice for the sinnes of the people and to make intercession for the people and as he was our Sacrifice so was he our reconciliation to God agayne But we must confesse and beleeue hym throughly I say for as he was our Byshoppe then so is it hee that still keepeth vs in fauoure with GOD and lyke as his Sacrifice then made was sufficient for vs to delyuer vs from our sinnes and to bryng vs in fauour with GOD so to continue vs in the same fauoure of GOD he ordeyned a perpetuall remembraunce of hym selfe he ordeyned hym selfe for a memory of hym selfe at his last Supper when he instituted the Sacrāment of the Aulter not for an other Redemption as though the worlde needed a new Redemption from sinne but that we myght throughly remember his most holy Passion he instituted this Sacrament by his most holy worde saying This is my body which worde is sufficient to proue the Sacrament and maketh sufficiently for the substaunce thereof And this dayly Sacrifice he instituted to be continued amongest Christian men not for neede of an other Redemption or Satisfaction for the sinnes of the worlde for that was sufficiently perfourmed by his Sacrifice of his body and bloud done vppon the Crosse neyther that he is nowe our Byshoppe for neede of any further Sacrifice to be made for sinne but to continue vs in the remembraunce of his Passion suffered for vs to make vs strong in beleeuyng the fruite of his Passion to make vs diligent in thankesgeuyng for the benefite of his Passion to establyshe our fayth and to make it strong in acknowledgyng the efficacie of his death and Passion suffered for vs. And this is the true vnderstandyng of the Masse not for an other Redemption but that we may be strong in beleeuyng the benefite of Christes death and bloud shedding for vs vppon the Crosse. And this it is that wee must beleeue of Christ and beleeue it throughly and therfore by your pacience as Peter made his confession so wyl I make confession wherein by your Maiesties leaue and sufferaunce I will playnly declare what I thinke of the state of the Church of Englande at this day how I like it and what I thinke of it Where I sayd of the Masse that it was a Sacrifice ordeyned to make vs the more strong in the fayth and remembraunce of Christes Passion and for commendyng vnto GOD the soules of such as be dead in Christe for these two thynges are the speciall causes why the Masse was instituted the Parliament very well ordeyned Masse to be kept and because we shoulde be the more strong in the fayth and deuotion towardes GOD it was well done of the Parliament for mouyng the people more and more to deuotion to ordeyne that the Sacrament shoulde bee receiued in both kindes Therefore I say that the Acte of Parliament for receiuing of the Sacrament of the Alter in both kindes was well made I say also that the Proclamation whiche was made that no man should vnreuerently speak of the Sacrament or otherwise speake of it then Scripture teacheth them was well made For this proclamation stoppeth the mouthes of all suche as will vnreuerently speake of the Sacrament for in Scripture is there nothing to be found that maketh any thing agayng the Sacrament but all maketh with it Wherefore if they were the children of obedience they would not vse any vnreuerent talke agaynst the Sacrament nor blaspheme the holy Sacrament For no worde of the Scripture maketh any thing agaynst it But here it may be sayde vnto mee Why Syr is this your opinion It is good you speake playnelye in this matter and halt nothyng but declare your mynde playnelye without any coulouryng or couert speakyng The Acte for the dissoluyng and suppressing of the Chauntries seemeth to make agaynst the Masse howe lyke you that Acte What say you of it or what woulde you say of it if you were alone I will speake what I thynke of it I wyll vse no coulourable or couert woordes I wyll not vse a deuised speeche for a tyme and afterwarde goe from it agayne If Chauntries were abused by applying the Masse for the satisfaction of sinne or to bryng men to heauen or to take away sinne or to make men of wicked iust I lyke the Acte well and they myght well be desolued for the Masse was not instituted for any suche purpose yet neuerthelesse for them that were in them I spake nowe as in the cause of the poore it were well done that they were prouided of lyuinges The Acte doth graciously prouide for them duryng thier lyues and I doubte not but that your Maiestie and the Lordes of your most honorable Counsell haue willed and taken order that they should be well looked vnto but yet howe they shall be vsed at the handes of vnder officers God knoweth full hardly I feare But as for the Chauntries them selues if there were any suche abuse in them concerning the Masse it is no matter if they be taken away Kyng Henry the eyght a noble and wyse Prince not without a great payne maynteined the Masse and yet in his doctrine it was confessed that Masses of Scala Coeli were not to be vsed ne allowed because they dyd peruert the right vse of and institution of the Masse For when men adde vnto the Masse an opinion of satisfaction or of a newe redemption then doe they put it to an other vse then it was ordeyned for I that allow Masse so well and I that allowe praying for the dead as in deede the dead are of Christian charitie to bee prayed for yet can agree with the Realme in that matter of putting downe Chauntries But yet ye woulde say vnto me there be fewer Masses by puttyng away the Chauntries So were there when Abbeyes were dissolued so be there when ye vnite many Churches in one But this is no iniury nor preiudice to the Masse it consisteth not in the number nor in the multitude but in the thing it selfe so that the decay of the Masse by takyng away of the Chauntries is aunsweared by the Abbeyes But yet I woulde haue it considered for the persons that are in thē I speake of the poore mens liuinges I haue nowe declared what I thinke of the Acte of Parliament made for the receyuing of the Sacrament of the body and bloud of our Sauiour Iesus Christe in both kyndes Ye haue my mynde and opinion concernyng Proclamation that came foorth for the same Acte and I haue shewed my
was neuer so takē in many hūdred yeares after Christ as by Nicene Ephesine the first and the seconde Calcedone Constantinopolitane Carthaginens Aquiliense Couen Why will ye not admit the Churche of Rome to be the Catholicke Church Phil. Because it followeth not the primitiue Catholicke church neither agreeth with the same no more then an apple is like a nut Couent Wherin doth it dissent Phil. It were to long to recite all but two thinges I will name the supremacy and transubstantiation Curtop As for transubstantiation albeit it was set forth decreed for an article of fayth not much aboue 300. yeares yet it was alwayes beleued in the church Bon. Yea that it was Uery well sayd of you M. Curtop Phil. Ye haue sayde right that Transubstantiation is but a late plantation of the byshop of Rome you are not able to shew any auncient writer that the primitiue church did beleue any such thing and with this Curtop shrank away And immediately after the Ambassadour of Spayne came in to whom my Lord of London went leauing the other with me To whome I sayde my Lordes if you can shew me that this church of Rome wherof you are members is the true Catholicke Church I shall be content to be one thereof and as conformable to the same as you can require me in all things for I know there is no saluation but within the Church Couen Can you disproue that the Church of Rome is not the Catholicke Church Phil. Yea that I am able but I desire rather to heare of you for the proofe thereof And seing I cannot haue my request at your hāds neither be satisfied with any probable authority I will shewe you good proofe why it is not For if the primatiue Church were Catholicke as it was in deed and ought to be the form and scholemaysters of the Church to the worldes end then is not the church of Rome now the Catholicke church which dissenteth so farre from the same both in doctrine and vse of the sacramentes Couent How proue you that the Church of Rome nowe dissenteth in doctrine and vse of the sacramentes from the primitiue Church Phil. Compare the one with the other and it will soone appeare as ye may see both in Eusebius and other Ecclesiasticall and auncient writers Couent What haue you to say more why it is not the catholicke Church Phil. Because it is not by youre interpretation of Catholicke vniuersall neyther neuer was albeit you falsely perswade the people that it is so For the world being deuided in three partes Asia Africa and Europa ii partes therof Asia and Africa professing Christ as wel as we did neuer consent to the Church of Rome which is of Europa whiche is a sufficient testimony that your faith was neuer vniuersall Couent How proue you that Phil. At the Historiographers whiche write of the proceedinges of the Church doe testifie the same Besides that this present time doth declare that to be true which I say For at this present the Church of Asia and Africa doe not consent to the churche of Rome Yea and besides all thys most parte of Europa doth not agree neither allowe the Churche of Rome as Germanye the kingdome of Denmarke the kingdome of Poole a great part of Fraunce England and Zeland which is a manifest probation that your Church is not vniuersall And after this the Bishop of London called away the other Bishops and lefte with me diuers Gentlemen with certayne of his Chaplaynes as Doctor Sauerson an Englishman which had proceeded Doctor in Bonony who after began with me in this maner Doctour Sauer Mayster Philpot I remember you beyond sea since the time you reasoned with a Fryer a notable learned man commyng from Uenice to Padua in a barge Phil. I cannot forget that for the Fryer threatned me to accuse me of heresie as soone as he came to Padua for that I talked with him so boldly of the truth He was no suche learned manne as you name hym to be but onely in hys schole poyntes a good Purgatory Fryer Doct. Sauer Well he was a learned man for al that And I am sory to heare that you this day hauing cōmoned wyth so many notable learned men are no more conformable to them then you be Phil. I will be conformable to all them that be conformable to Christ in his word And I praye you good mayster Doctour be not so conformable to please men more then GOD contrary to your learning for worldly estimations sake Doct. Sauer No that I am not Upon what occasion shuld you thinke thus of me Phil. Upon no euill that I doe knowe of you Mayster Doctour but I speake as one wishing that you shoulde not be led away from the truth for promotions sake as many Doctours be now a dayes Doct. Sauer I haue heard your argumentes hetherto and me thinketh that a great many of the olde ancient writers be agaynst you in that you doe not allowe the churche of Rome neyther the supremacie for sainct Cyprian whiche is an old ancient writer doth allowe the byshop of Rome to be the supreme head of the Church Phil. That I am sure of he doth not For he writing vnto Cornelius then Byshoppe of Rome calleth hym but his companion and fellow Byshop neither attributed to hym the name either of Pope or els of any vsurped terms which now be ascribed to the Bishop of Rome to the setting forth of his dignitie Doct. Sauer You cannot be able to shewe that S. Cyprian calleth Cornelius his fellow Byshop Phil. I will wager with you that I amble to make that I can shew it you in Cyprian as I haue sayd Doctor Sauer I will lay none other wager with you but booke for booke that it is not so Phil. I agree thereto and I praye you one of my Lordes Chaplaynes to fet vs Cyprian hether for the tryal hereof And with that one of them went to my Lordes study and brought forth Cyprian by and by he turned to the fyrst booke of his Epistles the 3. Epistle and there would haue seemed to haue gathered a strong Argument for the supremacie of the Byshop of Rome because he sayth It goeth not well with the Churche when the hygh Prieste is not obeyed which supplyeth the stead of Christ after Gods word and the cōsent of hys fellow Byshops and the agreement of the people Doct. Sauer How can you auoyd this place which maketh so playnely for the Bishop of Romes supremacy Phil. It maketh not so playne mayster Doctour on your side as you gather as by and by I wil geue you to vnderstand But first I challenge the wager which wee made that your booke is mine For here you may see that hee calleth Cornelius his fellow byshop as he doth also in other places And now for the vnderstanding of that place you do misconstrue it to make the high Priest onely for the Bish. of Rome
the Pope taketh vpon him to geue Empires and kyngdomes being none of his t◠such as will fall downe and worship hym and kisse his feete And moreouer his Lawyers and glosers so flatter him that they fayne he may commaund Emperors and kyngs to hold his stirrop when he lighteth vppon his horse and to be his footemen and that if any Emperour and kyng geue him any thyng they geue him nothing but that is his owne and that he may dispense agaynst Gods worde against both the old and new Testament agaynst s. Pauls Epistles and agaynst the gospell And furthermore what so euer he doth although he draw innumerable peoply by heapes with himselfe into hell yet may no mortal mā reprooue hym because he beyng iudge of all men may bee iudged of no man And thus he litteth in the Temple of God as he were a God nameth himself Gods Uicar yet he dispenseth agaynst God If this be not to play Antichrists part I cannot tel what is Antichrist which is no more to say but Christes enemy and aduersary who shall sit in the temple of God aduancing himselfe aboue all other yet by hypocrisie and fayned religion shall subuert the true religion of Christ and vnder pretence and colour of christian religion shall worke against Christ and therfore hath the name of Antichrist Now if any man lift him selfe higher then the Pope hath done who lifteth himselfe aboue al the world or can be more aduersary to Christ thē to dispense against gods lawes and where Christ hath geuen any commandement to command directly the cōtrary that man must needes be taken for Antichrist But vntil the tyme that such a person may be found men may easily coniecture where to find Antichrist Wherfore seyng the Pope thus to ouerthrowe both Gods lawes and mans lawes taketh vpon him to make Emperors and kings to be vassals and subiects vnto him especially the crowne of this realme with the lawes and customes of the same I see no meane how I may consent to admit this vsurped power within this realme contrary to myne othe myne obedience to Gods law mine allegeance and dutie to your Maiesty and my loue and affection to this realme This that I haue spoken against the power authoritie of the Pope I haue not spokē I take God to record and iudge for any malice I owe to the Popes personne whom I know not but I shall pray to God to geue hym grace that he may seeke aboue al things to promoote gods honour and glory and not to follow the trade of hys predecessors in these latter dayes Nor I haue not spoken it for feare of punishment and to auoyd the same thinkyng it rather an occasion to aggrauate them to diminish my trouble but I haue spokē it for my most bounden duty to the crown liberties laws customs of this realm of England but most specially to discharge my conscience in vttering the truth to gods glory casting away all feare by the comfort which I haue in Christ who sayth Feare not them that kil the body and cannot kill the soule but feare hym that can cast both body soule into hell fire He that for feare to loose this lyfe wyll forsake the truth shal loose the euerlasting lyfe And he that for the truthes sake will spend his lyfe shall find euerlasting life And Christ promiseth to stande fast with them before hys father which wil stand fast with hym here Which comfort is so great that whosoeuer hath his eies fixed vpō Christ cannot greatly passe on this lyfe knowyng that he may be sure to haue Christ stand by hym in the presence of his father in heauen And as touchyng the sacrament I sayd For as much as the whole matter standeth in the vnderstāding of these words of Christ This is my body This is my bloud I sayde that Christ in these wordes made demonstration of the bread wyne and spake figuratiuely callyng bread his body and wyne his bloud because he ordeyned them to bee Sacraments of his body and bloud And where the papistes say in those two points contrary vnto me that Christ called not bread his body but a substaunce vncertaine nor spake figuratiuely Herein I sayd I would be iudged by the old church and which doctrine could be prooued the elder that I would stand vnto And forasmuch as I haue alledged in my booke many old authors both Greekes and Latines which aboue a thousand yeres after Christ continuallye taught as I do if they could bring forth but one olde author that sayth in these two points as they say I offred 6. or 7. yeres ago doe offer yet still that I will geue place vnto them But when I bring forth any author that saith in most plain termes as I do yet saith the other part that the authors ment not so as who should say that the Authours spake one thing ment cleane contrary And vpon the other part when they cannot find any one Author that saith in words as they say yet say they that the authors mente as they say Now whether I or they speake more to the purpose herein I referre me to the iudgement of all indifferent hearers yea the old church of Rome aboue a thousand yeres togethers neither beleued nor vsed the Sacrament as the church of Rome hath done of late yeres For in the beginning the church of Rome taught a pure a sound doctrine of the sacrament But after that the church of Rome fell into a newe doctrine of transubstantiation with the doctrine they chaunged the vse of the Sacrament contrary to that Christ commanded and the old church of Rome vsed aboue a thousand yeres And yet to deface the old they say that the new is the old wherein for my part I am content to stand to the triall But their doctrine is so fond and vncomfortable that I meruaile that anye man would allowe it if he knewe what it is But howsoeuer they beare the people in hande that which they write in their bookes hath neither truth nor comfort For by their doctrine of one body of Christ is made ij bodies one naturall hauyng distance of members wyth forme and proportion of mans perfite body and this body is in heauen but the body of Christ in the Sacrament by their owne doctrine must needes be a monstruous body hauyng neither distaunce of members nor forme fashion or proportion of a mans naturall body And such a bodye is in the Sacrament teach they and goeth into the mouth with the forme of bread entreth no further thē the forme of bread goeth nor tarieth no longer then the forme of bread is by naturall heat in digesting So that when the forme of bread is digested that body of Christ is gone And for as much as euill men be as long in digesting as good mē the body of Christ by their doctrine entreth as farre
not onely in churches but also in other assemblies of honest people Tertullian sayeth he vsed sometymes to burne frankincenâ—e in his chamber which was then vsed of Idolaters and is yet in the Romish Churches but hee ioyneth withall Sed non eodem ritu nec eodem habitu nec eodem apparatu quo agitur apud Idola That is to say But not after such a riâ—e or ceremonie nor after such a fashion nor wyth such preparation or sumptuousnesse as it is done before the Idols So that Images placed in Churches and set in honorabili sublimitate that is to say in an honourable place of estimation as S. Augustine sayth and especially ouer the Lordes table which is done vsing the words of Tertullian eodem ritu eodem habitu that is after the same maner and fashion which the Papists did vse especially after so long continuance of abuse of Images and so many beyng blinded with superstitious opinion towardes them cannot be counted a thing indifferent but a most certaine ruine of many soules Epiphanius in his Epistle to Iohn bishop of Hierusalem which epistle was translated out of the Greeke by S. Hierome beyng a likelyhoode that S. Hierome misliked not the doctrine of the same doth write a facte of hys owne which doth most clearely declare the iudgement of that notable learned Bishop concernyng the vse of Images his words are these Quum venissem ad villam quae dicitur Anablatha vidissemque ibi praeteriens lucernam ardentem interrogassem quis locus esset didicissemque esse Ecclesiam intrassem vt orarem inueni ibi velum pendens in foribus eiusdem ecclesiae tinctum atque depictum habens imaginem quasi Christi vel sancti cuiusdam non enim satis memini cuius fuit cum ergo hoc vidissem in Ecclesia Christi contra authoritatem scripturarum hominis pendere imaginem scidi illud c. Et paulò post Et praecepi in ecclesia Christi istiusmodivela quae contra religionem nostram veniunt non appendi c. That is to saye When I came to a village called Anablatha sawe there as I passed by a candle burnyng enquiring what place it was and lerning that it was a church had entred into the same to pray I found there a vaile or cloth hanging at the dore of the same church died and painted hauing on iâ— the image of Christ as it were or of some Saint for I remember not well whose it was Then when I sawe this that in the Church of Christ against the authoritie of the scriptures the image of a maÌ„ did hang I cut it in pieces c. And a little after And commaunded that such maner of vailes or clothes which are contrary to our religion be not hanged in the church of Christ. Out of this place of Epiphanius diuers notes are to be obserued First that by the iudgement of this ancient Father to permit Images in Churches is against the authoritie of the scriptures meanyng agaynst the second commaundement Thou shalt not make to thy selfe any grauen Image c. Secondly that Epiphanius doth reiect not only grauen and molten but also painted Images for so much as he cut in pieces the Image painted in a vaile hangyng at the church dore what would he haue done if he had found it ouer the Lordes table Thirdly that he spareth not the Image of Christ for no doubt that Image is most perillous in the Churche of all other Fourthly that he bid not onely remooue it but with a vehemencie of zeale cut it in pieces followyng the example of the good king Ezechias who brake the brasen serpent and burnt it to ashes Last of all that Epiphanius thinketh it the duetie of vigilant bishops to be carefull that no such kind of paynted Images be permitted in the church Serenus bishop of Massilia broke downe Images destroied them when he did see them begin to be worshipped Greg. in Regist. epist. 109. Experience of the tymes since hath declared whether of these two sentences were better For since Gregories time the Images standyng in the Westchurch hath bene ouerflowed with Idolatry notwithstanding his or other mens doctrine Whereas if Serenus iudgement had vniuersally taken place no such thyng had happened For if no Images had bene suffred none could haue bene worshipped and consequently no idolatry committed by theÌ„ ¶ To recite the processe of histories and councels about the matter of Images it woulde require a long discourse but it shall be sufficient here briefly to touch a few IT is manifest to them that read histories that not onely Emperors but also diuers and sundry Councels in the East church haue condemned and abolished images both by decrees and examples Petrus Crinitus de honesta disciplina lib. 9. cap. 9. ex libâ—is Augustatibus haec verba transcripsit Valens Theodosius Augusti Imperatores praefecto praetorio ad hunc modum scripserit Quum sit nobis cura diligens in rebus omnibus superni numinis religionem tueri Signum saluatoris Christi nemini quidem concedimus coloribus lapide aliáue materia fingere insculpere aut pingere sed quocuÌ„que reperitur locotolli iubemus grauissima poena eos mulctando qui contrarium decretis nostris imperio quicquam tentauerint That is to say Petrus Crinitus in his booke of honest discipline the 9. booke the 9. chapiter wrote out of the Emperours bookes these wordes Ualens and Theodosius the Emperours wrote to the high Marshall or Lieuetenant in this sort Where as wee are very carefull that the religion of almighty God should be in all thinges kept We permit no man to cast graue or paint the Image of our Sauiour Christ either in colors stone or other matter but wheresoeuer it be found wee commaund it to be taken away punishing them most greuously that shall attempt any thing contrary to our decrees and Empire Leo the 3. a man commended in histories for his excellent vertues and godlinesse who as is iudged of some men was the author of the booke De re militari that is Of the feate of Warre beyng translated out of Greeke by sir Iohn Cheeke and dedicated to king Henry the viij your highnes father by publike authoritie commaunded abolishing of Images and in Constantinople caused all the images to be gathered together on a heape burned them vnto ashes Constantine the first his sonne assembled a Councel of the bishops of the East church in which Councell it was decreed as followeth It is not lawfull for them that beleeue in God through Iesus Christ to haue any Images neither of the Creator nor of any creatures set vp in temples to be worshipped but rather that all Images by the law of God and for the auoiding of offence ought to be taken out of churches Which decree was executed in all places where any Images were either in Greece or in Asia But in all these tymes the bishops of Rome rather mainteining the
