image of S. Peter as euery one may see and their antiquaries dissemble not The Gentiles did deifie their Emperours and benefactors and erect temples altars in their honour And what doe Papists doe not they canonize their Popes and do not Popes canonize Saints and do they not erect temples and altars to Saints they will not deny it but S. Augustine lib. 22. de ciuit Dei c. 10. sheweth that Christians built no temples nor altars to martyrs as gods nos saith he martyribus nostris non templa sicut dys sed memorias sicut hominibus c. fabricamus nec ibi erigimus altaria Heathen nations as Tertullian sheweth vs did so dispose of God that they assigned the chiefe Empire to one and distributed his offices and duties to many diuinitatem sic disponebant vs imperium summ●● dominationis penes vnum offieia eius penes multos esse vellent so the Papists acknowledging one God in termes doe assigne the parts of his gouernment to manie Saints making our Lady chiefe of all as may appeare by their practise and by the expresse words of Horatius Tursellinus before rehearsed to S. George they assigne the charge for the warres to S. Antony the custody of swine to S. Apollonia the cure of the toothach to S. Roch and S. Sebastian the remedy against the plague to S. Fiacre the healing of quartan agues to S. Margaret the charge of women in trauell of childbirth to S. Lewes the gouernment of horses Eusebius hist eccles lib. 7. c. 17. sheweth that ancient Christians after the custome of the Gentiles kept the images of those with them of whom they had receiued benefites In the Masse also diuers trickes are borrowed from the Gentiles they did offer for the dead and so likewise do the Papists Polydore lib. 6. de inuentorib c. 9. proueth the yearely sacrifice for the dead out of Macrobius and Cato and c. 10. the 9. daies sacrifice out of Horace fichat sacrificium pro mortuis saith he nono die from thence also he fetcheth mourning and mourning blackes The vse of burning incense saith Polydore lib. 5. de inuentorib c. 10. came from the heathen apud nos Leo tertius idem fiers sanxit saith he quod etiam ab Ethnicis seruabatur then he bringeth Virgiles testimony for burning incense From the heathen the Priests also take their washing of hands at Masse ab Ethnicis sumptum est saith Polydore apud quos sacrificantes primùm omnium n● uius lausabant Likewise of them they borrow their skippings and turnings for as Apuleius saith the Priests turned about sprinkling the bloud of the sacrifice The clause of the masse as appeareth by the testimony of Apuleius lib. 11. of the golden asse cited by Polydore de inuentoribus lib. 5. c. 11. came from the Gentiles for as the Priest said there 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so the Priest saith heere ite missa est The consecrating of images Durand deriueth from the example of Nabuchodonosor that called all his Princes to the dedication of the golden image as wee read rational diuin lib. 1. c. 6. The gentiles did not sacrifice without fire and water no more doe Masse priests as appeareth by the chapter literas tuas de celebrat miss In their praiers the Masse-priests turne themselues to the East and this custome Polydore lib. 5. de inuent c. 9. doth prooue to haue beene borrowed from the gentiles for God forbad his people to pray toward the East The Masse-priests carrie about their corpus Domini vpon a hackney when the Pope goeth in progresse so likewise did the Priests of Isis carry the image of their goddesse about with them and the Chaldeans the fire which they worshipped as God Choul in his booke of the religion of the Romans confesseth that tunicles albes and the pompe and ceremonies of the Masse haue beene taken from the Aegyptians and Gentiles That Purgatory came from the Gentiles it cannot be denied Virgil Aenead 6. doth testifie so much ergo exercentur poenis veterumque malorum saith he supplicia expendunt So likewise the Papists suppose that soules are there purged for their sinnes likewise from them they borrow their purgation by holy water as is signified by Polydore de inuentoribus lib. 6. c. 1. As the Gentiles beleeued that euery one had his good and bad genius so the Papists assigne to euerie Christian a good and bad Angell The Gentiles allowed no married Priests as Hierome lib. 1. contra Iouin doth testifie the same practise haue Papists vsed concerning their Priests The 2. councell of Arles c. 23. sheweth it to be a custome of Pagans to worship trees or stones or founteines yet our English Papists cease not to go on pilgrimage to S. Winifrides well nor to worship stockes and stones How then can the Papists call themselues Christians that haue in fresh practise so many heathen customes CHAP. XXV That poperie borroweth also diuers fashions from the Iewes VVHat they haue not from the Gentiles that for the most part of their ceremonies is borrowed from the Iewes from them also I haue shewed how they haue borrowed diuers heresies with the Pharisies they boast in the law and are more curious in obseruing their owne traditions than the law of God With the Hemerobaptists they sprinkle themselues continually with holy water with the same they consecrate their clergie as the Leuites were consecrated Numbr 8. by the law of Moyses they doe also borrow their shauing at the time of their ordination from the law God speaking of the consecration of Leuites aspergantur aqua lustrationis saith he radant omnes pilos carnis suae Innocentius the third in the chapter per venerabilem proueth the supreme authority of the Pope and of his see out of the words of the law Deut. 17. thence also hee proueth his Cardinals nay to shew himselfe more Iewish hee tieth Christians to the obseruance of the ceremoniall lawes of Moyses contained in Deuteronomy In the chapt cleros dist 21. they endeuour to proue the seuen orders of their clergy their seuerall functions from the Leuiticall law The burning of incense at the altar Polydore lib. 5. de inuentorib c. 10. sheweth to haue beene borrowed from the example of Aaron quod thus adoletur ad altare id primus fecit Aaron saith he The Iewes began their feasts with washing of hands and from thence doth Polydore think that the washings of masse-priests at the altar are deriued As the Iewes adorned the tombes of the Prophets so doe Papists adorne the tombes of their martyrs hoping to bee relieued by them Durandus rational diuin lib. 1. c. 6. deriueth the consecration of Churches altars and vessels and the greasing of them from the law of Moyses and this is also proued by the chap. tabernaculum de consecrat dist 1. The apparrel of Priests is transsiumpted from the Iewish ceremoniall law as Durandus witnesseth lib. 3. rat diuin c. 1. sacrae vestes saith he à veteri lege videntur

was onely auaileable to cut away former sinnes so likewise doe Papists teach against them both Theodoret de diuin decret c. de baptismo teacheth that baptisme is the earnest of future graces and the communication of Christs passion and againe non vt dicunt amentes Messaliani baptismus nouaculam imitatur quae praecesserunt peccata auferens hoc enim ex superabundanti largitur likewise both Papists and Messalians mumbled ouer their praiers and thought to be heard for their much babling the Papists for saying the ladies rosary and certaine number of creeds and pater nosters haue many indulgences giuen them by their holy father 19. The Angelikes were condemned for worshipping and praying to Angels Synodus quae conuenit Laodiceae saith Theodoret in Coloss 3. lege prohibuit ne precarentur angelos this is also testified by S. Augustine de haeres c. 39. Epiphanius haeres 38. condemneth the Caians for inuocating Angels and Tertullian de praescript aduers haeret sheweth that this heresie proceeded from Simon Magus this condemnation of the Angelikes therfore serueth against the Papists that inuocat worship and say Masses in the honour of Angels 20. S. Augustine taxeth the Seuerians for their forged miracles Philumena one of that sect as he testifieth de haeres c. 24. did worke a strange miracle drawing a loafe of bread out of a narrow mouthed glasse but all their miracles are nothing to the popish miracles reported in legends Bellarmine maketh miracles a marke of the Church heerein therefore they resemble heretickes 21. The Tatians and Encratites condemned mariage as not so pure as single life so likewise Papists thinke that it cannot stand with the perfection of orders in the chap. proposuisti dist 82. they call mariages fleshly pollutions and in their legends account them corruptions 22. As the Manichees condemned mariage in their Priests called electi so do the Papists they abstained from the cup in the eucharist as Leo ser 4. de quadrages doth testifie and as it may be gathered out of the chap. relatum and comperimus dist 2. de consecrat and so doe the Papists the Manichees giue Christ no solide body and place it in diuers places this heresie therefore is also common with them to the Papists lastly both Manichees and Papists abstaine from flesh in their fasts but vse other delicate and banqueting dishes 23. From Montanus the Papists haue receiued their laws of fastings and learned to aduance their vnwritten traditions from him also they haue borrowed their sacrifices for the dead and their doctrine of purging small sinnes after this life S. Augustine epist 86. ad Casulanum sheweth that he found not in any commaundement of Christ or his Apostles what daies we are to fast and what not as Apollonius Eusebius write li. hist 5. c. 57. he did first appoint lawes for fasting Tertullian montanizing in his booke de corona militis derineth sacrifices for the dead from tradition and from his Paraclet and in his booke de anima teacheth that small sinnes are done away after this life Epiphanius in haeres 48. sheweth that Montanus disputed that the scriptures were not perfect and with him in this point do Papistes concurre 24. The Papists take Rome to be their Hierusalem as the Pepuzians did the town of Pepuza and both of them admit women to baptize nay among the Papists we read of a woman that was Pope which was a degree aboue the Pepuzians that neuer made a woman chiefe priest 25. With the Catharists the Papists bragge of their merits purity and perfection further they will not admit heretickes relapsed lastly as the Catharists so Papists sometime vse rebaptization as the histories of France and Flanders testifie against Papists 26. The Iacobites and Armenians were condemned for heretikes for making the images of God the father and God the holy ghost Imagines saith Nicephorus lib. hist 18. c. 52. patris spiritus sancti effigiant quod est perquam absurdum yet doe the Papists offend therein and giue these images diuine honour which is more than those heretikes did 27. The worshippers of the crosse called Chazinzarij were reputed heretikes as Nicephorus hist lib. 18. c. 54. testifieth crucem tantum saith he adorare colere dicuntur yet is either tantum added or else he meaneth they worshipped no images but the crosse for if he should say they worshipped not God then had they beene pagans with them also the Papists concurre for they adore the crosse and pray to it which I doubt whether those foolish heretikes did 28. The Collyridian heretikes worshipped the Virgin Mary and offered cakes in her honour how then can the Papists shift their hands of this heresie that worship the Virgin and more deifie her then they did offering their consecrated cakes nay offring Christ himselfe as they say in her honour some say they worshipped her as a God but that doth not appeare by any presumption some say they offered triangular cakes as if Epiphanius did allow round cakes and onely condemne triangular cakes whose whole purpose was to shew that she was not to bee adored she was a virgin saith he and honorable but not to be adored he sheweth that to giue adoration to creatures is idolatrie and gentilisme non dominabitur nobis saith he haeres 79. antiquus error vt relinquamus viuentem adoremus ea quae ab ipso facta sunt 29. The councell of Franck ford vnder Charles the great condemned the second Nicene councell vnder Irene and all that worshipped images set vp in churches which is a plaine condemnation of the error of the Papists in this behalfe they pretend that this councell was disallowed by Adrian the Pope but what if Liberius should haue condemned the councell of Nice when he ioined with the Arians and what if Marcellinus when he sacrificed to idols should haue condemned Christian religion shall all Christianity depend vpon one mans pleasure 30. S. Augustine de haeres c. 68. telleth vs of an heresie of certaine fellowes that went barefooted est alia haeresis saith he nudis pedibus semper ambulantium the barefooted friers therefore and such as go on pilgrimage barefooted are to take his report as a sentence pronoūced against themselues 31. The Apostolikes were condemned as heretikes for that they receiued none into their communion that had wiues or possessed goods in propriety for Clergie men and Monkes in those daies had both wiues and goods in property as S. Augustine de haeres c. 40. sheweth Apostolici quise isto nomine arrogantissime vocauerunt saith he non receperunt in suam communionem vtentes coniugibus res proprias possidentes quales habet Ecclesia Catholica monachos clericos plurimos see therefore I pray you how he excludeth Papists with the Apostolikes out of the Catholike Church 32. The Heraclites saith Isidore orig lib. 8. c. de haeres were heretickes that receiued onely Monkes and excluded maried folkes out of their company monachos tantum recipiunt coniugia
