Your L. alwayes to be commaunded in the Lord Iesus THOMAS STOCKER A PREFACE DECLARING ALL SVCH MATTERS AS ARE TO BE handled and treated of within this present hooke SITH we are now growne to an end of that Cronicle which wee were determined to make concerning the Actes and deeds of Popes whereby their holinesse the rest of their ordinances may the better be discerned and iudged I haue not thought it amisse to make some discourse of the Canons and decrees made and established in the Councelles which haue bene solemnelie helde from the Apostles time euen vnto this present I meane of the Canons decrees which touch those matters that we nowe intend to treat of Howbeit there are manie causes which giue me occasion at this time not to deal with thē The first is for that I fear the book will grow to be ouer great as I see it fal out by another booke of mine which I tooke in hand intituled Of the difference and conference of the Supper of the Lorde and the Masse Albeit I did at that time cut of manie thinges which might verie well haue bene set foorth The other is That a great part of the Decrees and Canons of the Councelles appartaining to that matter which we presentlie are to treate of are attributed to the Romish Bishops especiallie to those who at that time enioyed that sea wherein those Councels were solemnized And therefore the greater part of them hath alreadie bene published and set abrode Moreouer I do also consider that these Canons and decrees which are assigned vnto the ancient Councelles are often alotted vnto them vnder a false title as manie other ordinances also are attributed to manie auncient Romish Bishops who neuer once thought of them and were falslie collected euen by the very selfe same men which vpheld the Popish sea all the abuses and superstitions that euer were brought into Christendome Wherefore it is most necessarie that when anie Councelles are spoken of that they which reade thē call to mind that which we haue spoken of in our other booke concerning the witnesses by vs produced for the setting downe of those ordinances attributed to Popes of whom we haue made mention For therein is likewise committed great leasings by the reason of the knowledge and practise of a great number of false witnesses by whom Antichrist hath serued his owne turne that by them he might obtaine a glorious glittering shewe vnto his false religion tyrannie and chieflie vnder the title of antiquitie and auncient Councelles vnder which colour the Suppostes of the Romish Church labour with tooth and naile to quench the truth and word of the Lord. And therefore it is verie requisite that the matter be well looked vnto For as wee must not lightly contemne the authoritie of the lawfull Christian Councelles euen so likewise we must be well aduised how we allow vnlawfull Councelles for lawfull and that errors superstitions and heresies be not allowed receaued vnder the colour of Christian Councelles And besides we must also vnderstand thus much That there was neuer any Councell so pure Christian like sithens the Apostles time wherein som chaffe hath not bene mixed with the Corne yea some notable beginning of superstition also by which meane Antichrist soone after hath not gotten some matter to build an house for his raigne and to work his secrete iniquitie withall Wherefore we are with very sound iudgement to reade whatsoeuer is set downe vnto vs vnder the name of Councelles and auncient Fathers and not lightlie approue any thing vntill such time as we haue
