of the Apostles and blessed Martyrs to shew that their glorious passage from this valley of misery to Eternal Joy was through the Red Sea of many Tribulations and that their Glory was purchas'd with the price of their own dear blood They dyed their Robes in the blood of the Lamb. Apoc. 7. What is signified by the Green Colour THe Green colour is used in the Church from the Octave of the Epiphanie till Septuagesima and from the Octave of Pentecost till Advent exclusively containing the greatest part of the whole year and is to be industriously imploy'd for our purchasing Heaven which is to be got by vigorous force well represented by this colour the Hieroglifick of Youth and consequently betokening this couragious and vigorous strength in virtuous Exercises whereby that Coelestial City is to be conquered What the Violet Colour means THe Violet colour is a kind of blew and resembles the colour of the Sky of Heaven which we must know to be fast shut against all sinners who by their true repentance shall not amend And therefore this colour is us'd in the Church all Lent and Advent the proper times allotted for the practise of the worthy fruits of holy Penance and satisfaction for our sins the only unhappy Bar of the Gate of Heaven against our Souls What the Black Colour means BLack is the Mourning Standard of the Church display'd upon her Altars and other Ornaments in the mournful times wherein we celebrate the Death and Passion of our Loving Lord and Divine Redeemer Jesus Christ It is used also at the Office of the Dead thereby to testify as well a civil respect from Nature for the present separation from our Friends as to stir also up and move in us thereby a true compassion of their Souls temporal great pain in Purgatory for whose speedy relief we ought most heartily to pray Having briefly here spoke of the quality and colours of the chief Ornaments belonging to the Altar I will with like brevity treat also about the Vestments and Attire belonging to the Priest for Celebration of the holy Sacrifice of the Mass that high Function and supremest Divine Homage which can be done to God by any Creature And therefore those Ornaments if not very rich at least ought to be comely and very deceat as well in regard of that great Reverence which is most due to those Sacred Mysteries as also that those Divine actions should be had in greater veneration and thereby more movingly represent to us Christs bitter Death and Passon as I shall hereby declare by the meaning of those several Ornaments observing first the great Antiquity and use of those Holy Ornaments which well appears in England by that of S. Gregory the Great who above a thousand years ago did send into our Countrey Vessels for the Altar Relicks Books and Ornaments for the Priests and Clerks as both S. Bede and most Hystorians do declare The meaning of the Sacred Ornaments which the Priest doth wear in Celebrating the Holy Mass What the Amice or first Ornament the Priest puts on when he goes to celebrate doth mean THe AMICE which the Priest puts over his head doth signifie the Humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ under which lay hid and cover'd his most Sacred Divinity 2. It signifies the Linnen Napkin wherewith this our merciful Redeemer was blind-folded and after struck upon the Face by those sacriligeous Jews then saying to him Prophesy to us Christ who is he that struck thee Mat. 26. By which outragious injury suffer'd for our sakes he purchas'd Grace enabling us to behold him face to face in Eternal Glory In putting it on he saith put on O Lord the Helmet of Salvation upon my head that I may overcome all diabolical temptations Amen Of the ALBE THe Albe or long white Garment doth signifie the Robe of Innocency given us in the Sacrament of Baptism It represents also the white Garment which Herod put upon our Saviour reputing him as an Ideot when Luke 22. with mockery and derision he sent him back to Pilate The Priest putting it on saith Make me white O Lord and cleanse my heart that being whit'ned in the Blood of the Lamb I may enjoy Eternal Gladness Amen Of the Girdle THe Girdle which the Priest puts about him doth signify the Cord wherewith our Saviour was bound to the Pillar when the cruel Souldiers scourch'd him The two ends of the Girdle turn'd up the one on the right side and the other on the left do signifie the two means to conserve our Chastity which are Fasting and Prayer whereby we subdue the Flesh and strengthen the Spirit The Priest when he putteth the Girdle about him saith Gird me O Lord with the Girdle of Puâ—iâ—y and quench in my Loyns the humour of Lust that there may remain in me the virtue of Continency and Chastity Amen Of the Maniple THe Maniple represents to us the Cords which bound our Saviour's hands and arms when he was dragg'd from place to place and from one Judge to on other It is put on the left Arm which is nearest to the heart to declare with what love and affection he endur'd all these outragious injuries to expiate our sins When the Priest putteth the Maniple upon his Arm he saith Vouchsafe me O Lord so to bear the Maniple of weeping and sorrow that I may receive the reward of my labour with Exultation Amen Which Prayer also alludes to the antient devouter times which us'd this Maniple as a Linnen cloath or Handkerchief to wipe their tears which their fervent Piety made often to run in abundance from their eyes Of the Stole THe Stole which the Priest putteth about his Neck doth signifie the Yoak of Obedience even unto death upon the Cross whereunto our Lord Jesus submitted himself for our Redemption The Priest kisseth the Cross which is upon the middle of it when he putteth it on to shew his chearful willingness to bear the sweet Yoak of Christ's Cross with all patience in tribulation He puts the two ends overthwart his Breast in form of a Cross representing saith S. Bonaventure the Passion of Jesus Christ which the Priest ought to have most seriously fixed in his heart The Stole also doth properly signifie that long Rope about our Saviours Neck whereby those Barbarous Executioners dragg'd him charg'd with the heavy Cross upon his Neck and Bloody Shoulders The two Crosses at the ends of the Stole hanging on either side of the Priest do signifie the Crosses whereon the Two Theeves were Crucified by him one on the right hand and the other on the left and the Cross in the middle represents that whereon himself was Crucified in the middle betwixt them both The Priest in putting on the Stole saith Render me O Lord the Stole of immortality which I have lost by the prevarication of my first Parents that though I approach unworthily to thy holy Mysteries yet may I desire joys everlasting Amen Of the
