Morouer that they haue euer from the first plantinge of Christianitie in this our Britanye, in the dayes of the Apostles, in euery age, and hundred of yeares, beene continued and preferued here.

Peter the Apostle preached the word of life in this Iland as to other gentiles hee did for whome God had chosen him that from his mouth they might heare the ghospell as himselfe alleadgeth and that hee here founded churches and ordeined preists and deacons which is reported by Simon Metaphrastes out of the greek Antiquities and Gulielmus Eisingrenius in the first of his Centuries Therfore this beeing written by soe learned and holy a man as S. Simon Metaphrastes was and soe auntient aboue 700. yeares since and out of such monuments and Authorities of the Gretians as in his time were honored with the Title of Antiquities this alone might content vs in this matter as it hath already the best learned protestant Antiquaries of this nation But because allowance is giuen to the authoritie which cannot be denyed because it is the maner of Protestants to mynce authorities I will cite that holy auntient Father and Saint S.

Peter by reuelation came to Hierusalem at the death of the mother of God then returning into Egipt by Africk came againe to Rome From whence hee came to Milane and Photice which bee cities in the continēt in which when hee had constituted Bishops and preists hee came into Britanie where when hee had stayed a longe time and drawne many nations not named to the faith of Christ hee had an Angelicall vision which saide ô Peter the time of thy Resolution is at hande and thou must goe to Rome in which when thou hast suffered death by the crosse thou shalt receaue the reward of lustice Therfore when hee had glorified God and giuen thankes for it and remayned some dayes with the Britans and illuminated manie with the word of grace and founded churches ordeyned both Bishops priests and deacons hee returned againe to Rome in the twelueth years of the Emperor Nero. Hitherto the very words of this learned Saint soe precisely and particularly describeing the tyme and comming of that glorious Apostle into this Iland staying here with his returne to Rome againe that as noe man except an infidell will or can deny it no Author of antiquitie or credit auouching halfe so much for either S Paul or any other Apostle to haue beene here at all soe except wee of Englād wil shew our selues the most vngratefull disobedient to that our first and most glorious Pastor and parent of all nations in the world except Hierusalē Antioch and Rome wee ar most engaged to honor and reuerence this most glorious Apostle his Successors in his holy Sec for neither Pontus Galatia Cappadocia Asia or Bythinia which hee himselfe particularly remembreth 1.

perfect sacrifice of Christs body to succeed in place of them and thus concludeth by our protestants translation hee taketh away the first that hee may establish the second So it is in Greeke so in the Latine readinge 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Aufert primum vt sequens statuat Therefore our protestants makinge this concordance of these scriptures and graunting before an external sacrifice of Religion among Christians cannot possibly make other construction of this place of the Prophet then S. Paule and S. Augustine after him hath done before and to endeuour the contrary would be to recal the sacrifices of the Iewes to bee still in force and euacuate the Law of Christ S. Chrisostome writing vppon the 95. psalme saith plainely that the Prophet there plainely interpreteth the misticall table the vnbloody-sacrifice the heauenly and exceeding venerable sacrifice of Christians Luculenter dilucidè mysticam interpretatus est mensam quae est incruenta hostia caeleste summe que venerandum sacrificium And in the 72. psalme by the Hebrues speaking at large of the cominge of Christ our Messias as our protestants protest argum in psal 72. and all agree about many misteries of him and many excellencies which hee should haue as that he should rule from sea to sea all Kings should fall downe before him Hee shall bee a deliuerer shall redeeme soules hee shall daily bee praysed Psal 72. v. 11.10.12.13.14.15 and the like 7 It immediatly in the next verse followeth of him in the Hebrue readinge which by protestants wee must followe without any interruption or interposition of any one word Iehi Pissath Barbaaretz be Roh Harim Hee shall bee a little cake of bread placentula panis as Iacobus de Valentia before these controuerses readeth in psalm 72. as an handfull of meale fietque vt farris pugilli by the protestant Sebastian Castalio Sebast Castal ibid. a cake of wheate placenta frumenti a sacrifice of bread Francisc Stancar in l. 10.

The other Rabbi Ionathā Ben Vziel which wrote before the coming of Christ as the Iewes themselues besides both Catholick and Protestant witnesses approue and cite him in their booke Besepher Bibakim of collections here readeth erit sacrificium panis in terra in capite montium Ecclesiae he the Messias shal bee a sacrifice of bread on the head of the mountaines of the church Let him consider that hath eyes that as it is said hee is the Messias of whome the whole psalme speaketh therefore when hee saith and hee shall bee a cake of wheate on earth on the head of mountaines hee meaneth and would say that a cake of bread shal bee the sacrifice ouer the heads of preists vvhich are in the church And Iacobus de Valentia in psal 72. longe before these times proueth against the Iewes that theire Targum readeth erit placeutula tritici super capita Sacerdotum Hee shall bee a little cake of wheate aboue the heads of preists Neither doth either the Greeke or any Latine readinge contradict these most auncient and approued readings the Greeke sterigma signifieth fulcimentum flabilimentum or firmamentum that which susteineth beareth vp or strengtheneth some other so is the Latine what exemplar soeuer wee follow or readinge frumentum or firmamentum or as Iacobus de Valentia writeth vt supra S. Ierome readinge memorabile triticum memorable wheate For all these significations and properties in an excellent maner are verified of Christ and the holy sacrifice of his body And the Copula or verbe in all learned languages Hebrue Greeke Latine Iehi estai erit must needes haue relation and connection with the Messias onely there spoken of both immediatlie before and after the next verse beeing by our protestantes translation the Hebrue Greeke and Latine agreeing psal 72. Hebr. vers 17. his name shall endure for euer his name shall bee continued as longe as the sunne and men shall bee blessed in him all nations shall cal him blessed And so to the end of the psalme so the whole psalme before the 16. verse 9. Therefore straunge it should be that in a whole psalme both by Iewes Catholicks and protestants entreating onely of the Messias there should bee one only verse relatinge a matter quite extrauagant by protestants translation beeing thus There shall bee an handful of corne in the earth vpon the toppe of the mountaines the fruite therof shall shake like Lebanon and they of the citie shall florish like grasse of the earth And then immediately followeth of the Messias by these protestants translation His name shal endure for euer Which hath no connexion with the former if we expound it of materiall corne and for the prophet to say only there shall be an handful of corne in the earth vpon the top of mountaines neuer was or can bee in that materiall sence any signe or distinction to knowe the Messias by which is the scope of that psalme And yet in their psalmes in meeter printed an 1614. cum priuilegio Regis regali conferred with the Hebrue as these men write they make the matter worse thus it is The mightie mountaines of the land of corne shall bringe such thronge That it like Cedar trees shall stand in Libanus all alonge Their cities eke full well shall speed the fruites thereof shall passe In plenty it shall far exceede and springe as greene as grasse This is the Rithme the reason I leaue to others to finde it passeth my skill But this I am certaine of that neuer any such thing chaunced in the time of Christ since or before to my readinge and for any protestant or other to say that come as high as Cedar trees with the rest described in their Rithme shall bee at the cominge of the Messias is to deny Christ and with the Iewes to expect an other yet to

come when such things may bee performed 10. Therefore to let others passe I will conclude this matter with Iacobus de Valentia that learned Bishop of Cristopolis in psal 71. and Hieronymus à S. fide a Iew. both longe before this time of controuersies The first saith per hoc quod additur in summis montium by that which is added in the tops of mountaines is expressed that this aboundance is not to bee vnderstood of wheate or materiall corne as the blind Iewes doe say that in the cominge of the Messias there shal bee great aboundance of corne and wine and oyle Therefore here is recompted and foretold the sacrifice of the Eucharist in which Christ is daily offered in the forme of breade for Christ is daily lifted vp ouer the heads of preists as it is figured in the 29. chapter of Exodus where God commaunded a peece of breade to bee lifted vp ouer the heads of the preists before the people The same figure was of the bread of proposition in the 25. chapter of Exodus and 24. of Leuiticus Therefore in an other translation which is called Targum it is erit placentula tritici super capita Sacerdotum Hee shall bee a little cake of wheate aboue the heads of preists Therefore Dauid saith soe This Kinge the Messias shall bee firmament or corne or memorable wheate in earth vpon the tops of mountaines that is he shall bee lifted vp ouer the heads of preists in the forme of breade for preists are often in scriptures vnderstood by mountaines for their eminency of dignity as is said before And againe after the Prophet had foretold that the Messias should bee God and man and worshipped of all nations and Kings of the world after hee addeth that this Kinge Messias shall bee corne and wheate and a peece of of bread on the tops of mountaines and ouer the heads of preists as hath beene declared there by many translations And so it is manifest how this Sacrament is not onely possible but also many wayes figured and foretold in the lawe and Prophets And so it plainely appeareth that Christians doe not adore bread as the blind Iewes doe lie but we adore Christ consecrated vnder those accidents 11. The learned Iew. Hieronym à S. fide l. 1. contr Iudaeos hauing disputed in the like maner thus concludeth we learne that the Iewes affirme that psalme Deus iudicium tuum Regi da speaketh all thinges of the Messias now therfore vvhere it saith hee shall bee firmament on earth on the tops of mountaines and the Caldy trāslation saith that hee the Messias shall bee a sacrifice of bread on earth on the head of the mountaines of the Sinagogue The mountaines of the Sinagogue are the preists of the church which de facto euery day doe eleuate or lift vp the Messias ouer their heads and this is so manifest that it cannot bee denied but by them to whom the malediction of Esay the Prophet is come that they should bee made blinde in eyes and hart Is 42. And to this case and condition are all they brought by these holy and learned authorities which deny the truth of this holy sacrifice for it is euident that in the sence of protestant Sacramentaries this prophesie to bee fulfilled at the cominge of the Messias was neuer performed when in this Catholick constructiō it is iustified effected in the whole world And if we should come to Libanus it selfe though now many hundred yeares vnder the Mahumetans yet wee are assured euen by protestants themselues that Christ in the forme of bread is there most religiouslie and aboue other places eleuated dailie by preists ouer their heads in the holy sacrifice of Masse there bee Catholicke Christians in greate number with Patriarke Archbishop Bishops and religious men obedient to the Pope of Rome in all the dominions of the grād Segnior of the Turke there bee so many Christians frequenting Masse that a protestant telleth vs They make aboue two third parts of his Empire Cytraeus lib. de statu Ecclesiae pag. 20.21 Munster in Cosmograph Ed. Grimstom booke of estates pag. 1053. 1064. of that which the Prophet speaketh of Christs beeing a preist after the order of Melchisedech I haue spoken before onely I add here from the learned Father Anastasius Abb. l. contra Iudaeos disputing against the Iewes who hauing proued from the history of Genesis and S. Paule the dignitie of the preisthood of Christians aboue that of the old testament and that of Melchisedech greater also then that was inferred that the sacrifice of Christians must needes be much more excellent Si Typus ille excellētior erat Iudaico Sacerdotum profecto multo magis erit ipsa veritas If that Type or figure was more excellent then the Iewish preisthood surelie the truth it selfe must needes bee much more excellent which is no other by any Christiās but Christs most holy body and blood in the sacrifice of Masse THE V.
