Psalter which they intituled Iesus Psalter printed at Antwerp 1505. in Latine since translated into English by Laurence Kellam and printed at the end of his Manuel of Prayers Duaci 1603. which Psalter begins thus Phil. 2. In nomine JESU omne genu flectatur Coelestium Terrestrium Infernorum omnis lingua confit●atur quia Dominus Iesus Christus est in gloria Dei Patris which is likewise repeated after the first and tenth Petition It consists of 15 Petitions The 1 Petition is Iesu Iesu Iesu mercy 10. times repeated one after another without intermission The 2. Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu help me The 3. Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu strengthen me The 4. Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu comfort me The 5 Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu make me constant and stable The 6. Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu light me The 7. ●etition Iesu Iesu Iesu grant me grace to dread thee The 8. Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu grant me to love thee The 9.

Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu grant me grace to fix my mind on thee The 15. Petition Iesu Iesu Iesu give me grace to order my life to thee Each of these 15. Petitions are thus trebled ten times over one after another the name Jesus being 30 times repeated together in each Petition and 54. times more in other larger Petitions between each of these in all 504. times but his name Christ not once mentioned nor any other of his names but Lord alone and that rarely which name Jesus is as oft to be bowed to adored as thus recited by their Injunctions Canons to wit 504 times in one half hour Moreover to propagate this Ceremony and bowing to and at this name they not long after compiled 5. Speciall Psalms in honorem nominis Iesu with the Letters I. H. S. and a Crucifix in the midst of the H. prefixed to them together with Letaniae de Nomine Iesu wherein the name JESU is repeated no lesse then 74. times together with several titles added to it as I●su potentissime Iesu perfectissime c. miserere nobis Libera nos I●su Parce nos Iesu exaudi nos Iesu c. At the end whereof follows this Prayer for those who devoutly adore and bow to the name Iesus upon Earth God who hast made the most glorious name of Iesus Christ ●hy only Son amiable with the chief affection of sweetnesse to thy faithfull ones and dreadfull and terrible to evil Spirits mercifully grant that all those who devoutly worship this name of Iesus on Earth may receive the sweetnesse of its holy consolation in this present world and in the world to come may obtain the joy of endlesse exultation and blisse in Heaven by the same our Lord Iesus Christ thy Son The benefit of which Masse-Prayer our modern Advocates for bowing at and to the name of Jesus with all their over-zealous Proselytes may do well to claim About the year 1510 Richardus Hampole an English Popish Priest writ a Treatise De Veneratione Nominis Iesu mentioned by Bishop Bale and if I mistake not extant in his Opuscula Varia Ms. in the famous University of Oxford to promote the adoration of and bowing at and to the Name of Iesus Not long after as I conjecture there were special Liturgies compiled and published for the self-same end by the Popes and Popish Priests direction intituled Litaniae Passionis Domini nostri Iesu Christi beginning with this Text of Phil. 2 8 9 10 11. recited at large wherein the name Iesus is repeated no lesse than 164. times one after another with Miserere nobis Iesu Liberanos IESV ●xaudi nos Jesu subjoyned to each petition as in the precedent Liturgies of the Name Jesus They likewise then compiled printed published used Horae de Nomine Iesu Dulcissimi nominis Iesu. And Vesperae in veneratione nominis Iesu editae à devoto Ricardo de Hampole printed in Horae beatitissimae Virginis Mariae ad legitimum Ecclesiae Sarisburiensis ritum Parisiis 1519 f. 169 170 c. In which I find on the 7th of August in the Kalendar printed with it and in other Popish Kalendars a special Feast dedicated likewise to the Name of Jesus intituled Festum dulcissimi Nominis Iesu Minus duplex which Feast Pope Clement the 7th about the year 1524. as Stengelius and Molanus inform us appointed to be generally observed as Minus duplex a lesse double Festival famous among many Churches and amongst the common people Thus one Superstition Idolatry to this Name begot another These Popish Letanies Howers Vespers Psalters Festival of the name Jesus purposely invented to promote its adoration to which the people were formerly very backward brought bowing to it into general practise request in most Churches then leavened with Popery the Priests and People usually bowing their Heads Knees and putting off their Hats to it when rehearsed in Epistles Gosples Masses Sermons and Divine Offices And hereupon the Provincial Popish Council of Sienna or Sennes in the year 1524. following the pattern of the Council of Basil Decreta Morum c. 18. established the use of this Ceremony in all Collegiate Cathedral not other Churches in these following words vizt Et ut in majoribus Ecclesiis cultus Dei vivi sanctior juxta majorum traditiones in melius reformetur statuimus ut in Cathedralibus collegiatis conventualibus Ecclesiis horis debitis c. Horas autem canonicas dicturi c. Cum nominatur illud nomen gloriosunt Iesus in quo omne genu flectitur coelestium terrestrium infernorum omnes caput not genu inclinent And Decreta Fidei c. 14. this Council also draws this Argument from this very Ceremony to prove the lawfulnesse of worshiping the Image of Christ Saints Et nos quidem non quasi ante Divinitatem ante imagem prosternimur sed illum adoramus quem per Imaginem aut passum vel in throno sedentem recordamur Et dum per ipsam picturam quasi per scripturam ad memoriam Filium Dei reducimus animum nostrum de resurrectione laetificat aut de passione mulcet non majore quidem idolatriae periculo quam cum nomine Iesu omne genu flectitur coelestium terrestrium infernorum Quem enim vocabula cursim auribus insinuat hunc eundem fidelibus oculis imago sedulò repraesentat c. In the year of our Lord 1526. the Synod of Carnotum or Chartres in France decreed thus for the use of this Ceremony Nullus in Ecclesia maximè dum sacra aguntur

Country should put away such Ceremonies which from time to time they see most abused as in mens Ordinances it often chanceth diversly in divers Countryes Whether all or some of these Passages may not be justly applyed to thi● Bowing at the Name of Iesus only as likewise to kneeling at the Sacrament upon due consideration of its original Author● Promoters and Pr●mises abuses I refer to every mans conscience to resolve Especially because it puts a difference disparity inequality not only between this Name Iesus and all other Names Titles Attributes of our Saviour and the Name● Titles of God the Father and Holy Ghost but a visible undenyable inaequality and disp●rity between their sacred Persons though co●ternal and co●qual by our Churches Creed and Scriptures resolution and to be equally worshipped ●dored reverenced bowed unto by all Orthodox Believers whose Persons are never adored worshipped or bowed unto in the Church when their Name● or Titles are mentioned nor yet the Person of God the Son when any other of his Names are uttered but only the Person of Iesus or rather his name alone when I●sus is either read heard or seen Which as it apparently thwarts that express Text of Iohn 5.22 23. The Father hath committed all ●udgement to the Son that all men should honour the Son even as that is in the self-same manner form they honor the Father not otherwise nor more frequently devo●tly reverently than they honour the Father at and to whose person they bow not their Knees or Head when his name is recited as usual they do by standing up at and honouring all three persons alike in their frequent repetitions of Glory be to the Fa-Father and to the Sonne and to the Holy Ghost without bowing at or to all or any of their Names So it seems to put an inequality and disparity between their sacred Person● and Sovereign Divine Authority and to advance Iesus the Son above God the Father and Holy Ghost Especially when all their three names are joyntly read and repeated together in one Verse Prayer Sentence as at the end of every Morning Prayer The grace of our Lord JESUS Christ th● love of God the Father and the most comfortable fellowship of the HOLY GHOST be with us all evermore Amen At the end of every Evening Prayer and Communion The Peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God and of his Sonne JESUS Christ our LORD And the blessing of God Almighty the Father the Sonne and the Holy Ghost be amongst you and remain with you alwayes Amen In the Apostles Creed repeated every Morning and Evening prayer I believe in God the Father Almighty maker of heaven and earth and in JESUS CHRIST his only Sonne our LORD which was conceived by the Holy Ghost c. I believe in the Holy Ghost c. And in the Nicen● Creed used every Sunday and Holiday to omit A●●ana●ius his Creed the Letany Form of Baptisme the Collect Epistle and Gosple Trinity Sunday they are all mentioned together I believe in one God the Father Almighty maker of heaven and earth c. and in one LORD JESUS Christ the only begotten Sonne of God begotten of the Father before all Worlds God of God Light of Light very God of very God being of one substance with the Father c. And I believe in the Holy Ghost the LORD and giver of Light proceeding from the Father and the Son who with the Father and the Sonne together is worshipped and glorified If any Pagan Turk Jew or sober judicious Christian should come into our Churches when these Prayers Creeds are read and observe both Ministers and People to bow their Bodies Heads Knees with extraordinary reverence and adoration at and to the Name Iesus only when mentioned in them but not at or to his other Names Lord Christ only SON of GOD God very God thus coupled with immediately preceding following his Name Iesus yea not to bow to the person of Jesus as represented to them by these other glorious Names nor at the Name God as it comprehends the whole Trinity in Unity or denotes the persons of God the Father or God the Holy Ghost nor yet at or to the name Person or sence to use Bishop Andrews words will they not all then necessarily conclude and resolve that this Name Jesus is more adorable honourable worshipfull holy divine than all those other Names and Titles coupled with it Yea that the person of Jesus himself is more adorable honourable glorious divine when represented to our minds by his Name Jesus than by his other Names Titles of Christ Sonne Sonne of God LORD GOD very God That this Name Iesus it self addes special adoration veneration honor worship to his Person Deity not his Person Deity to his Name or that his Person Deity accumulate more honour glory and worship to this Name alone than to all or any of his other Names Titles Yea would not those Infidells conceive that Jesus was one Person thing and God Christ Lord Sonne of God c. another Person or thing inferiour to and lesse venerable adorable than Jesus And that the Person of Jesus who is onely thus devoutly bowed to when his name Jesus is recited in these Prayers Creeds is exalted far above God the Father and God the Holy Ghost whose names and Persons are neither thus adored worshipped bowed to nor honoured by them when thus coupled recited and represented to our minds at once in one Sentence Prayer Creed And doth not this bowing directly contradict those very Creeds wherein we professe these three Persons to be coet●rnal together and coequal to be neither greater nor less than another and the Holy Ghost with the Father and the Sonne together to be worshipped and glorified No doubt it doth in a very high degree a● every mans Conscience upon serious deliberation will inform him and these ensuing Histories in some so●● demonstrate It i● storied of Amphilochius Bishop of Iconium that to c●nvince the Emperor T●eodosius of hi● Error in tollerating the Arrians who den●ed the Deity of Christ the Son of God whom they adored not with divine worship but only God the Father that comming one day to his Court and beholding Theodosius and his Sonne Arcadius newly made joynt Emperour and invested in equal imperial Power with his Father standing both together he pu●posely bow●d hims●lf and made low and accustomed reverence to Theodosius the Father without doing any reverence to or taking notice of Arcadius his Son and Fellow Emperour in equal honour and power with him Whereupon Theodosius being very angry with this Bp. for this contempt neglect of his Son Arcadius in not bowing doing any obeysance to him and sharply reprehending him for it as an injury and affront to himself Amphilochius wisely replyed that he did it on set purpose and then said Thou seest hereby O Emperour how hardly thou sufferest the ignominy and
