say for that is S. Peters word some worship of Images is lawfull Iohn Monceye the Frenchman in his Aaron Purgatus dedicated to the late Pope Paul the fifth and in his twenty questions propounded to Visorius stretcheth yet a straine higher For howsoeuer hee cannot away with the name of Idols and Idolatry yet he liketh the thing it selfe so well that he vndertaketh to cleare Aaron from committing any error in setting vp the golden Calfe and laboureth to purge Laban and Micha and Ieroboam too from the imputation of Idolatry hauing found indeed that nothing had beene done by them in this kinde which is not agreeable to the practice of the Romane Church at this day And lest the poore people whom they haue so miserably abused should finde how farre they haue beene misled wee see that the masters of that Church doe in the Seruice books and Catechismes which come vnto the hāds of the vulgar generally leaue out the words of the second Commandement that make against the adoration of Images fearing lest by the light thereof the mystery of their iniquity should be discouered They pretend indeed that this Commandement is not excluded by them but included onely in the first whereas in truth they doe but craftily conceale it from the peoples eyes because they would not haue them to be ruled by it Nay Gab. Vasquez lib. 2. do Ador. disput 4. c. 3. §. 74.75 Vasquez the Iesuite doth boldly acknowledge that it plainely appeareth by comparing the words of this Commandement with the place which hath beene alledged out of the 4. of Deuteronomy that the Scripture did not onely forbid the worshipping of an Image for God but also the adoration of the true God himselfe in an Image He confesseth further that he and his fellow Catholikes doe otherwise What saith hee then to the Commandement thinke you Because it will not be obeyed it must be repealed and not admitted to haue any place among the morall precepts of God * Cùm suerit iuris positiui et Caeremonialis illa leges Mosaicae prohibitio tempore legis Euangelicae debuit cessare atque id quod aliâs iure natu rali licitum et honestum est vt imagines depingere et illis etiā vti ad adoratio nem in lege Euangelie â locum habere debet Vasques ibid. c. 4 §. 84. It was saith he a positiue and ceremoniall Law and therefore ought to cease in the time of the Gospell And as if it had not beene enough for him to match the Scribes and Pharises in impiety who made the Commandement of God of none effect that they might keepe their owne tradition that he might fulfill the measure of his fathers and shew himselfe to be a true childe of her who beareth the name of being the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth Reu. 17.5 he is yet more mad Vasquez de Adorat lib. 3. disput 1. Cap. 2 § 5.8.10 and sticketh not to maintaine that not onely a paynted Image but any other thing of the world whether it be without life and reason or whether it be a reasonable creature may in the nature of the thing and if the matter bee discreetly handled be adored vvith God as his Image yea and counteth it no absurdity at all that a very vvispe of stravv should be thus vvorshipped But let vs turne yet againe E●●● 8.15 and vve shall see greater abominations then these We heard hovv this blessed Sacrament vvhich is here propounded by the Apostle as a bond to vnite Christians together in one body hath beene made the apple of strife and the occasion of most bitter breaches in the Church we may now obserue againe that the same holy Sacrament which by the same Apostle is here brought in as a principall inducement to make men stee from Idolatry is by our Aduersaries made the obiect of the grossest Idolatry that euer hath been practised by any For their constant doctrine is that in worshipping the Sacrament they should giue vnto it latriae cultum qui vero Deo debetur Co●●il Trident. ●ess 13. 〈◊〉 1.5 as the Councell of Trent hath determined that kinde of seruice which is due to the true God determining their worship in that very thing which the Priest doth hold betwixt his hands Their practice also runs accordingly for an instance whereof we neede goe no further then to Sanders booke of the Lords Supper before which he hath perfixed an Epistle Dedicatory superscribed in this manner To the Body and Blood of our Sauiour Iesus Christ vnder the formes of Bread and Wine all honour praise and thankes be giuen for euer Adding further in the processe of that blockish Epistle Howsoeuer it be with other men I adore thee my God and Lord really present vnder the formes of Bread and Wine after consecration denly made Beseeching thee of pardon for my sinnes c. Now if the conceite which these men haue concerning the Sacrament should proue to bee false as indeed we know it to be most absurd and monstrous their owne Iesuite Coster doth freely confesse that they should be in such an error and Idolatry qualis in orbe terrarum nunquam vel visus vel auditus fuit as neuer was seene or heard of in this world * Tolerabilior est enim error eorum qui pro Deo colunt Statuā auream aut argenteam aut alterius materiae imaginem quo modo Gentiles deos suos venerabantur vel pannum rubrum in hastam eleuatum quod narratur de Lappis vel viua animalia vt quondam Egyptij quàm eorū qui frustū panis Coster Enchirid ca. 12. For the error of them is more tolerable saith he who worship for God a Statue of gold or siluer or an Image of any other matter as the Gentiles adored their gods or a red cloth lifted vp vpon a speare as it is reported of the Lappians or liuing creatures as did sometime the Egyptians then of those that worship a piece of bread We therefore who are verily perswaded that the Papists doe thus must of force if we follow their Iesuites direction iudge them to be the most intolerable Idolaters that euer were Nay according to their owne principles how is it possible that any of themselues should certainly know that the host which they worship should be any other thing but bread seeing the change doth wholy depend vpon consecration duly made as Sanders speaketh and that dependeth vpon the intention of the Priest which no man but himselfe can haue notice of Bellarmine disputing against Ambrosius Catharinus one of his owne brethren that a man hath no certaine knowledge of his owne iustification can take aduantage of this and alledge for himselfe that one * Neque potest certus esse certitudine sidei se percipere verum Sacramentum cum Sacramen tum sine inten tione ministri non conficiatur intentionem alterius nemo ●idere possit Bellarmin de

Cor. 12.26 which he further amplifieth in the verse next following by the mutuall sympathy and fellow-feeling which the members of the same body haue one with another For whether one member suffer all the members suffer with it or one member be honoured all the members reioyce with it and then he addeth Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular Shewing vnto vs thereby that as wee are all * Ephes 3.6 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 concorporated as it were and made copartners of the promise in Christ so wee should haue one another in our hearts * 2.

Sam. 11.1 the present supply and offer of your Subsidie was done in a time most seasonable being so much also the more acceptable as it was granted not grudgingly or of necessity but freely and with a willing minde God loueth a cheerefull giuer 2. Cor. 9.7 8. and he is able to make all grace abound towards you that ye alwayes hauing all sufficiency in all things may abound to euery good worke And thus being by your goodnesse so happily abridged of that which I intended further to haue vrged from the coniunction which we haue with the Body I passe now vnto the second part of the Communion of Saints which consisteth in the vnion which we all haue with one Head For Christ our Head is the maine foundation of this heauenly vnion Out of him there is nothing but confusion without him we are nothing but disordered heapes of rubbish but in him all the building fitly framed together groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord and in him are we builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit Ephes 2.21 22. Of our selues wee are but lost sheepe scattered and wandring vpon euery Mountaine From him it is that there is one fold and one shepheard Ioh. 10.16 God hauing purposed in himselfe to gather together in one all things in Christ both which are in heauen and which are on earth euen in him Ephes 1.10 This is the effect of our Sauiours prayer Ioh. 17.21 That they all may be one as thou Father art in me I in thee that they also may be one in vs c. I in them and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one And this is it which we finde so oft repeated by Saint Paul We being many are one body in Christ Rom. 12.5 Ye are all one in Christ Iesus Gal. 3.28 And in the Text wee haue in hand Wee being many are one bread and one body Why because we are all partakers of that one bread namely of that bread whereof he had said in the words immediately going before The bread which we breake 1. Cer. 10.16 is it not the communion of the body of Christ Vnder the name of Bread therefore heere is comprehended both Panis Domini and Panis Dominus not onely the bread of the Lord but also the Lord himselfe who is that liuing Bread which came downe from heauen Ioh. 6.51 For as Saint Peter 1. Pet 3.21 saying that Baptisme doth saue vs vnderstandeth thereby both the outward part of that Sacrament for he expressely calleth it a figure and more then that too as appeareth by the explication presently adioyned not the putting away of the filth of the flesh euen the inward purging of our consciences by vertue of the death and resurrection of Iesus Christ so Saint Paul heere making the reason of our vnion to bee our partaking all of this one bread hath not so much respect vnto the externall bread in the Sacrament though he exclude not that neither as vnto the true and heauenly Bread figured thereby
