Letanies out of the Church upon it are four red crosses signifying the four Cardinal vertues justice prudence fortitude temperance which ought to be in Prelates which vertues are not acceptable to God but as they are sanctified by the crosse of Christ in which onely they should glory with the Apostle for the Gentiles had these vertues but knew not Christ nor his crosse There are also in the Pall three pins or bodkins signifying the three Christian vertues of faith hope and charity without which he cannot justly claim or retain his Pall they may signifie also a three-fold pricking or compunction which ought to be in Prelates 1. Of compassion towards those that are in miserie 2. Of care in the due and conscionable execution of their office 3. Of feare to offend God 4. Their worship consisteth in the Masse where we have many ceremonies first the Bishop or Priest before he begins sings five Psalmes then he combs his head and washeth his hands followeth the aspersion of holy water then is the Introi●us or singing at the Priests approaching towards the Altar whilest the Introitus is singing the Priest or Bishop walketh towards the Altar between a Priest and a Deacon before whom walketh the Sub-Deacon carrying the Book of the Gospel shut before whom march two Taper bearers and before them is carried the Censer with incense When the Priest or Bishop comes to the Altar he takes off his Mytre makes confession openeth the book and kisseth it Over the Bishop also a linnen cloth full of pictures is carried by four Ministers in form of a canopy In their four solemn Processions to wit at Candlemas Palme-Sunday Easter Ascention day they have crosse in banners seven Tapers borne by seven Acolyths seven Deacons following then seven Priors three Acolyths with incense one Sub-Deacon carrying the Gospel then the Bishop in great state whom the people follow with the Porters Readers Exorcists Singers c. Before the Bishop or Priest ascends the Altar he boweth himself to the ground and then confesseth and during the time of the Masse he boweth his body eight times before the Altar After confession and absolution the Priest blesseth the incense and puts it in the censer then he kisseth the Altar and the Book and takes the censor from the Deacon with which he sumeth the Altar and then removeth to the right side of the same and withal Kyrie Eleeson is said not lesse then nine times in the Masse Gloria in Excelsis is also sung which was the Angelical Hymne at Christs Nativity then the Priest turning to the people salutes them in these words The Lord be with you to whom the Quire answereth And with thy Spirit Seven times in the Masse the Priest salutes the people but turneth to them onely five times Then the collects or prayers are said and after them the Epistle is read with the face towards the Altar it s the Sub-Deacons office to read the Epistle which done he delivers the Book shut to the Bishop who layeth his hand on the Sub-Deacon which he kisseth Alter the Epistle is sung the Gradual so called from the steps of humility by which we ascend to Heaven it 's called also the Responsory because the matter thereof answers the matter of the Epistle Next to this Hallelujah is sung but from Septuagesima Sunday till Easter in stead of Hallelujah the Tractus is sung so called a Trabend● because it is sung with a long drawing tone as containing the mournful condition of man in this life as Hallelujah is the joyful song of Heaven After Hallelujah is sung the prose which by them is called Sequentia it is a song of exaltation This done the Priest removeth from the right to the left side of the Altar whence the Deacon takes the Gospel and ascends into a high place where he reads it with his face to the North the crosse the censer and two lights are carried before the Gospel which is laid upon a chshion to shew the yoak of Christ is easie at the reading of it all stand up and crosse themselves and give glory to God After this the Creed is rehearsed and the Sermon followeth which concludeth the first part of the Masse Q. 11. What is their manner if dedicating Churches A. In the Church to be dedicated or consecrated are painted twelve Crosses on the walls before which burne twelve Tapers The Bishop in his Pontificalls with his Clergy and the people come to the Church door being shut where he prayeth and then besprinkleth the walls with holy water whilest the Clergy and people goe singing about the Church The holy water is sprinkled out of a bundle of Hysope Then the Bishop with his whole Traine returning to the Church-porch prayeth again and with his crosier staffe knocketh the door thrice saying these words Lift up your heads O ye Gates and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in Of whom the Deacon within the Church asketh Who is the King of glory to whom the Bishop answereth The Lord strong and mighty the Lord mighty in Battell Then the door is opened the Bishop with three of his servants entereth the rest remain without after-the Bishop hath wished peace three times to that house the door is shut again and he on his knees before the Altar prayeth whilest the Clergy without sings the Letanie and the Priests carry on their shoulders a Chest or Coffin containing the Reliques of that Saint to whom the Church is dedicated The Altar with all belonging to it are sanctified the walls with certain letters are painted Salt Water Ashes and Wine are exorcized and mingled together into which he dipps his thumb and makes the signe of the Crosse on the Altar Walls and Pavement Then he offers incense and blesseth the Church in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost this being done the Bishop before the Church door preacheth to the people concerning the anniversary dedication of that Church of honour due to the Clergy of tenths also and obl●tions After Sermon all are admitted into the Church singing The twelve Lights and twelve Crosses do signifie the Doctrine of the twelve Apostles which shineth in the Church by which they preached the Crosse of Christ The Bishop representeth Christ making intercession for his Church and by the Staffe of his word knocking at the door of our hearts His compassing the Church three times and his three times knocking at the door signifie his three fold power in Heaven Earth and Hell And his threefold right or interest he hath in us to wit by Creation by Redemption and by the gift of life eternal promised to us The making of Greeke and Latine Letters with a Crosse on the Pavement with ashes shew that the Gentiles are made partakers of the Crosse of Christ but not the Jewes besides that the rudiments and alphabet of Christianity must be taught to the weaker sort the Oyle Salt Water Ashes and

came of Eleazer And the government held out in some sort till Herod the first overthrew it by thrusting out the lawful Priests and substituting at his pleasure unworthy men The like was done by the Roman Governors then were the Levites deprived of their tiths by the chief Priests The singers were permitted by Agrippa the younger to wear a linnen garment as well as the Priests they retained then some Priests and Levites they had also Scribes and Lawyers who exercised Ecclesiastick Jurisdiction with the Elders of the people They had also Synagogues of their profession abroad in Alexandria Cilicia and other places Acts. 6. 9. and in Iudea too whither the people met to pray and hear the Law and Prophets read The Synagogues had their Rulers Acts 13. 15. who did interpret the Law they were also called Prophets Scribes and Lawyers but the Government of the Jewish Church was much pestered by the Samaritans Esseans Sadduces and Pharises Nazareans who rejected the books of Mojes Hemerobaptists who washed themselves daily and the Herodians who held that Herod was Christ the Esseans contemned marriage and thought themselves holier then other men therefore called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Saints they would have had all things equal The Samaritans rejected all Scripture except the Pentateuch and were the sworn enemies of the Iews The Pharisees were so called from Separation for they separated themselves from other men accounting all profane but themselves They placed all Sanctimony in outward shews The Sadduces so called from Justice denied providence subjected all things to our will denied the souls Immortality Angels and the Resurrection The Scribes perverred all by their sophistical glosses on the Law Of these things see Sigonius Bertram Iosephus and others Q. But what Church government have the Iewes at this day A. In Rome Venice Worms Mentz Frankford on the Moen Fridburg Amsterdam and in divers places of Poland Bohemia and elsewhere they have their Synagogues where they use to pray together and to hear the Law read Before they come thither they wash themselves and scrape their shooes with an iron fastened in a wall before the Synagogue They enter with great reverence bowing themselves towards the Ark where their Law is kept and are tied to a set form of prayer which they must read in their books they that cannot read must hearken diligently and say Amen though they understand not what is read for their Liturgy is the old Hebrew which they generally understand not They utter divers brief benedictions and after them some short prayers and because they cannot sacrifice being banished from Ierusalem the place appointed for sacrifice therefore in stead thereof they read the Law concerning sacrifices and offerings and some Expositions thereof out of the Thalmud which they understand not They pray in particular for the rebuilding of Ierusalem and their return thither which they dayly expect for which they expresse great joy and vociferation Then they read a long prayer collected out of the Psalms with some part out of the first Book of the Chronicles ch 30. Then they conclude with singing these words of Obadiah vers 17. But upon mount Sion shall be deliverance and there shall be holinesse and the house of Iacob shall possesse their possessions c. And the house of Esau shall be stubble c. And Saviours shall come upon mount Sion to judge the mount of Esau and the Kingdom shall be the Lords Other Songs also they sing much to this purpose and when they sing or say these words Hearken O Israel the Lord our God is one God they turn their heads to the four corners of the world intimating thereby that God is every where King There be some of their prayers which they are bound to say every day twice standing strait thinking that thereby they shall merit But when they utter these words of Isai. 6. 3. Holy Holy Holy Lord God of Sabbath the Earth is full of the Glory they leap three times They hold that whosoever doth speak whilest they are praying shall eat burning coales when they are dead After this they utter an execrable praver against all Christians and baptized Jews Then they pray for peace bowing their head to the left then to the right hand and depart out of the Synagogue with their faces stil towards the Ark like crabs going backward They use also to go slowly out of the Synagogue lest by making haste they might seem to be weary of praying When they mention the adoration which is given to Christ by Christians they spit on the ground in detestation thereof Q. What circumstances do the Iews now observe in praying A. They pray being girt standing upright with their faces toward Ierusalem laying their hand on their heart and bowing their head They hold it a great sin in praying to belch yawn spit or break wind because they hold the Angels to be there present but if any be necessiated to break wind he must beg pardon of God who hath made him a body so full of holes he that prays must make no interruption though a Serpent should bite him or the King of Israel speak to him They are bound to utter an hundred blessings every day In praying they must not touch their naked skin They hold sneezing in prayers to be a good signe but breaking wind to be ominous and they beleeve that whosoever saith heartily Amen to their prayers hasteneth their Redemption Q. What is the time and order of their Evening prayer A. About five in the afternoon the Door-keeper of the Synagogue with a hammer knocks at their doores warning them to repair to Evening prayer When they are come they sit down and begin their service with these words of the 84. Psalm Blessed are they that dwell in thy house Then the Precentor having said or sung some Psalms and half that holy prayer called Kaddesh the whole Synagogve saith eighteen prayers according to the number of bones in a mans back And then the Praecentor comes down from his Pulpit and falls upon his knees before the Ark after the example of Ioshuah Iosh. 7. 6. and layeth his left hand under his face because it is said Cant. 2. 6. His left hand is under my head This the people do likewise and with their faces covered and towards the ground they say the sixth Psalm Having ended their Evening Prayer and pawsed a while they begin their night prayers which they should say after supper but because it would be inconvenient to return late to the Synagogue and many times they are drunk after supper therefore before they depart they say some prayers but if any have a quarrel with his neighbour he takes the Liturgy-book and shuts it clapping his hand upon it intimating hereby that he would pray no more till his neighbour were reconciled to him Q. Why do the Iews beside the Sabbath keep holy the Monday and Thursday A. Ezdras appointed that the people should meet three times

the house of Iacob for ever to this City of the Church shall the Kings of the earth bring their glory and honour in that day he that is feeble shall be like David and the house of David shall be as God See Isa. ch 2. ch 55. and ch 65. Ier. 16. Ezech. 21. Dan. 2. Zach. 12. Luke 1. Rev. 21 and many more places which speak of the Churches felicity under the Gospel but not a word of a millenarie Reign Q. 9. Wherein doth the vanity of the Millenaries opinion consist An. 1. In giving to Christ a temporall Kingdome of a thousand years whereas his Kingdome is eternall it shall stand fast for ever of his Kingdome shall be no end saith the angel 2. In giving him an earthly Kingdome whereas his Kingdome is heavenly My Kingdome saith he is not of this world It is not from hence it is within us 3. In making his Kingdome to consist in earthly pleasures in eating drinking fighting c. all which are directly against the nature of his Kingdome which as the Apostle saith Rom. 14. 17. Is not meat and drink but righteousnesse peace and joy of the Holy Ghost the end of his coming was to fight with no other weapon but with the two edged sword of his word proceeding out of his mouth he was the prince of peace the dove that brought the olive branch in his mouth he brought peace in his birth he preached peace in his life and recommended peace to us at his death and as Saint Austin saith pacem nobis reliquit iturus ad Patrem pacem nobis dabit perducturus ad patrem his peace he left with us and his peace he will bring again to us 4. In this their imaginary Kingdome they bring Christ down from heaven before his time for the heavens must contain him till the restitution of all things which cannot be till the last Judgement it is an Article of our Creed that Christ shall come down from heaven to judge the quick and the dead which shall not be till the last day 5. He is to sit at Gods right hand untill be hath made his enemies his footst●●l Ps. 110. 1. But these men will bring him from thence before he hath obtained this conquest and triumph which is not to be obtained till the last day and consummation of all thing 6. They are injurious to Christ to bring him from his place and condition of glory to play the part of a butcher and executioner in murthering of men with the sword here on earth an office ill beseeming him and no wayes suitable to his glorious condition and mercy who came to save sinners and not to destroy them 7. The Scripture mentioneth no other Resurrection of the bodies but such as shall rise at the last day Iohn 6. 39 40 44. in the end of the world when he shall have delivered up the Kingdome to God 1 Cor. 15. 22. where we shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the aire and shall be ever with the Lord 1 Thes. 4. 15. but this Millenarie Resurrection is long before the last day and end of the world neither in it shall we be ever with the Lord if we are with him but a thousand years 8. The Scripture doth not speak of three comings of Christ but of two onely the first when he came in humility the second when he shall come in glory unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation Heb. 9. 28. let them shew us out of Scripture a third coming and we will believe them 9. Christ tells us Iohn 14. 2. that in his Fathers house that is in heaven are many mansions thither he is gone to prepare a place for us that where he is there we may b● but he is in heaven in his Fathers house there doth he prepare a place for us and not here upon earth for so we shall not be where he is but he will be where we are which is repugnant to his own words 10. They make the time of Christs second coming to Iudgement certain in affirming it shall be at the end of their thousand years but this is repugnant to Christs words who faith that his coming shall be sudden secret and unexpected like the coming of a thief in the night like the coming of Noahs stood or the fire of Sodom so that of that day and 〈◊〉 knoweth no man no not the angels in heaven nor Christ himself as he is man 11. Whereas the condition of Christs Church here on earth is mixed consisting of Saints and reprobates of sheep and goats of good and bad fishes of wheat and chaffe of corn and ●ares they give Christ such a Church as is without sinne or sinners as need no preaching nor Sacraments no Pastors and Jeachers no Advocate with the Father no Christ to appear for us in the presence of God and lastly such a Church as is not subject to persecution affliction sufferings and trouble all which is directly repugnant to Gods word and condition of the Church mi●●tant here which is subject both to infirmities and afflictions 12. Antichrist shall not be destroyed till Christs second coming to Iudgement as the Apostle sheweth 2 Thes. 2. 8. That Christ shall destroy him with the brightnesse of his comming but the millenaries will have him to be destroyed before the beginning of their thousand years which is flat against Scripture 13. They do exceedingly wrong the Martyrs in bringing their souls down from heaven where they have the fruition of God and his angels to reign here on earth and to enjoy carnall and sensuall pleasures the meanest of the Saints in heaven must be in a far better condition than the greatest martyr in this earthly Kingdome 14. The reward that is promised to the Saints after this life is not a Kingdome here on earth but the Kingdome of heaven a house made without hands eternall in the heavens a mansion in our heavenly Fathers house to sit with Christ in his throne to be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and to be ever with the Lord to be with Christ in Paradise to enjoy life eternall c. 15. Whereas they dream that Ierusalem shall be rebuilt and the Iewes shall reign in Iudea a thousand years with christ is directly also against Gods word which Ezech. 16. 53. 55. sheweth that the Iews shall be restored to their former estate when 〈◊〉 and Sodom shall be restored which will never be and Gen. 49. 10. The Scepter shall depart from Iuda when S●iloh cometh Ierusalem saith Saint Hierom est in aetornos collapsa cineres fallen into everlasting ashes and never to rise again 16. Whereas they dream that in the millenarie Kingdome sacrifices circumcision and all other Iewish ceremonies shall be used 't is plainly to deny that christ ever came in the flesh or that he offered himself a propitiarory sacrifice to put an

death of this 〈◊〉 great many with resolute mindes made it their businesse not only to bring his doctrine into suspicion but into utter disesteem unanimously resolving to embrace 〈◊〉 was good sound and consonant to Christian doctrine and reject the rest as hereticall In the meane time the report beat up and downe both among the people and the more learned that this man of ingenuity and authour of private doctrines this very David George was a contagion and a destructive pestilence a devoted incendiary of a most dangerous Sect that though most falsely he was born a King and that he accounted himselfe the true Messias The Magistrate being extreamly moved at these things not deferring his zeale any longer when the glory of God and his Son Iesus Christ was so much concerned caused all those who were conceived to be infected with the pestilence of that Religion to be brought to the Palace to whom he rubbed over what things had been transacted some years before that is to say acquainted them how that they had been banished their Countrey upon the account of the Gospel and upon their humble addresses received into the protection and made capable of the priviledges of the City c. But that it had appeared since that they had fled for refuge to Basil not for the propagation of the Gospel but for that of the leaven of the sacrilegious David though by all outward appearance they had hitherto been accounted favourers and professors of the true Religion In the first place therefore the Senate being desirous to know the truth required to have his true proper name for some have thought as some authours deliver that his name was Iohn Br●●es Secondly whether he had privately or publickly dispersed his Religion and what Tenets he held To which some made answer unanimously that they had left their countrey for the true Religions sake nor did they acknowledge themselves any other than the professors and practisers of the lawfull Religion That for his name he had not called himselfs by any other than his own proper name and for his doctrine they had acknowledged none either privately or publickly save what he had privately sometimes suggested which was not disconsonant to the publick The Magistrate perceiving this obstinacy of mind caused eleven of them the better to discover the reall truth to be secured and more narowly looked to In the mean time the Senate leaving no stone unmored in this businesse appointed some to bring forth into publick view some bookes and writings of David which should give no small light in the businesse and these the Magistrate recommended to men of the greatest learning to be read over and examined with the greatest care possible that so whatsoever they should meet with rep●gnant to the Truth they should extract and give him an account thereof Those who had this charge put upon them presented the Senate with this extract of Articles out of his writings 1. THat all the Doctrine delivered by Moses the Prophets or by Jesus Christ himselfe and his Apostles was not sufficient to salvation but ●ress'd up and set forth for young men and children to keep them within decency and duty but that the doctrine of David George was perfect entire and most sufficient for the obtaining of salvation 2. He affirmed that he was Christ and the Messias the well beloved Sonne of the Father in whom he was well ●leased not born of blood nor of the flesh nor of the lust of man but of the holy Ghost and the spirit of Christ who vanishing hencelong since according to the flesh 〈◊〉 deposited hitherto in some place unknown to the Saints was now at length reinfused from heaven into David George 3. He held that he only was to be worshipped as wh● should bring out the house of Israel and the true tha● is the professors of his doctrine tribe of Levi and th● Tabernacle of the Lords not through miseries sufferings crosses as the Messias of the Jewes did but with 〈◊〉 meekness love and mercy in the spirit of Christ granted unto him from the Father which is in heaven 4. He approved himself to be invested with the auth●rity of Saving or condemning binding and loosing and that at the last day he should judge the twelve tribes of Israel 5. He further maintained that Jesus Christ was sent from the Father to take flesh upon him for this reason at least that by his doctrine and the use of his Sacraments men being as it were no better then children 〈◊〉 uncapable of receiving the true doctrine might be kept within duty till the coming of David George who should advance a Doctrine that should be most perfect and 〈◊〉 effectuall should smooth out mankinde and should consummate the knowledge of God and of his sonne and what●ever hath been said of him 6. But he further affirmed That these things should not come to passe according to humane ceremonies but after a spiritual dispensation and after such a manner as ha● not been heard of which yet none should be able to discern or comprehend but such as were worthy disciples of David George 7. To make good and prove all these things he wrested and misinterpreted many places of the holy Scripture as if Christ and the Apostles whom he commends had inti●●ted not themselves nor any other Ecclesiasticall 〈◊〉 save only the coming of David George 8. And thence it was that he argued thus If th● Doctrine of Christ and his Apostles be most true and 〈◊〉 effectuall for the obtaining of salvation the Church which they had by their doctrine built up and confirmed could not possibly have been broken to peeces for as Christ himself testifieth against the true Church the gates of Hell shall not be able to prevaile But that building of Christ and his Apostles is overturned and pulled down to the very foundation by Antichrist as may be evidently seen in the Papacy according to the Testimony of the same Christ It therefore necessarily followes that the Doctrine of the Apostles is imperfect and interrupted whence he concluded his own doctrine and faith to be the only solid and sufficient doctrine 9. Moreover he maintained himself to be greater than John Baptist yea than all the Saints that had gone before him for that the least in the Kingdome of God according to the suffrage of Truth it self is greater than John But he said David George was one whose kingdome was heavenly and most perfect whence he makes himself not only greater than John but also sets himself above Christ since that he was born of flesh and that himself was born of the spirit according to a heavenly manner 10. He further allowed with Christ that all sinnes committed against God the Father and against the Son may be forgiven but those that are committed against the Holy Ghost that is to say against David George shall be forgiven neither in this world nor in the world to come by
