water your crosses your reliques your puppets and such like trash being forged dreamed according to your good intentions And what is that to make a den of theeues of that which ought to be addicted vnto the true seruice of the Eternall So like as when robberies surprised the place of prayer vnder the Synagogue Christ Iesus thought it no scorne to returne into the wildernes and enter into priuate houses so likewise are we pleased to serue God in caues and Church-yards as the primitiue Christians did rather then to pollute our selues by frequēting those places so much prophaned CHAP. XI Of Reliques THe Pharisies garnished the sepulchers of the Prophets so doe you in decking the shrines and tombes of the Apostles of Martyrs and other Saints And when your Popes builded the Sancta sanctorum at Rome in the Church of Lateran did they not restore againe the holy place which God in old times had ordained in his Temple of Ierusalem called in the Hebrew language Kodech Kadaschim Truth it is that the God of hosts the Holy of Holy did there shew forth his Maiestie to the intent that he might instruct his people in the knowledge of his will and did appoint the propitiatorie to be kept therein which was a type of Christ and the tables of the Law which the Lord commanded Moses to close therein together with the rod of Moses and a glasse full of the Manna of the Desert in token of the fauour which he had shewen vnto them for Christ Iesus his sake who is the true propitiatorie In stead of all these you haue locked within your Sancta sanctorum of Rome a place whereinto women are not admitted the fore-skinne of our Sauiour with his slippers and his nauell Aarons rod a glasse of Manna with another arke of the couenant CHAP. XII Of holy Water LEt vs come to your holy water Is it not grounded vpon the imitation of that holy water which God ordained by Moses namely to iudge of the guiltinesse or innocencie of the woman that was accused of adultery But let vs hearken vnto that which your Durandus sayth This lustrall water according vnto the testimonie of Pope Cyprian hath power to sanctifie according to that which is written by the Prophet Then will I powre cleane water vpon you and you shall be cleane yea from all your filthinesse and from all your idoles will I cleanse you A new heart will I giue you and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your bodie and I will giue you an heart of flesh And I will put my spirit within you And a little after the water of aspersion cleanseth And from thence he concludeth it appeareth therefore that the aspersion of this water is a washing vnto saluation and is fit to wipe away the ordinarie sinnes of men euen as the ashes of the Cow were in the old Testament Is not this well concluded And from whence should Pope Alexander the first of that name haue learned this whom they make the author of the consecration of this water but from that which was practised in old times by Gods commaundement among the people of Israel He had read that Moses had taken away the bitternesse of the waters of Mara and had made them sweete by causing wood to be throwne therein That God healed the Leprosie of Naaman the Syrian by the waters of Iordan at the prayer of Eliseus the Prophet That he had giuen to the poole of the sheepe at Ierusalem the propertie to make him recouer of any diseases whatsoeuer that first stepped thereinto after the Angel had troubled the water This sillie man thought that his enchanted water should haue the like force And although the lustrall water wherewith the Leuites were purified was a type of Christ Iesus his bloud yet notwithstanding as if this bloud were not sufficient for the purging of the faithfull he hath ordained this water with the application of the same vertue witnesse this ryme Aqua benedicta sit nobis salus vita And let vs see how this iollie Pope doth frame his argument if the ashes of the dead Cow sayth he being sprinkled among the people did sanctifie and cleanse them how much more the coniured water being mingled with salt and hallowed by godly prayers ought to haue this power to purge and sanctifie the people So in stead of the bloud of Christ Iesus they offer coniured water vnto the Church The Iesuite Richeome sayth that you haue the custome of holy water from the Apostolicke institution yet doth not cite any one place of Scripture His fellow Bellarmine is against him in that for he saith Nil deesse ad aquam benedictam nisi diuinam institutionem quominus sit sacramentum And in the table of the same Booke at the letter A. Aqua benedicta sayth he non a Deo instituta est sed ab Ecclesia ideo non est Sacramentum Seeing therefore that he doth freely acknowledge that this water hath not beene instituted by God it remaineth to goe and search out the first authors the rather seeing that the true Church of God hath kept her selfe well from authorising so great a blasphemie Now they are made manifest vnto vs by Epiphanius Bishop of Salamis to wit either the Samaritanes among whom the vse of lustrall water was verie frequent or the Hemerobaptists whom he rancketh in the fourth sect of the Iewes so termed because they washed themselues euery day with hallowed water wherewith notwithstanding you are content to sprinkle your selues onely abusing immediately thereafter the verse of the good penitentiall Psalme which Dauid made in detestation of his adulterie Purge me with hysope and I shal be cleane wash me and I shall be whiter then snow Wherein he meaneth of the ceremonies of the Law And what likenesse hath that with your aspersions CHAP. XIII Of the Creame and anointing MOreouer you teach all with one accord that the glorie and luster of your Chrismes and annointings wherwith the whole Hierarchie of your Priests is greased proceedeth from no other origine but from the shaddows and figures of the Iewish Law notwithstanding that Christ Iesus had alreadie abolished them through his comming I suspect you will alledge Denys called Areopagite who will haue the composition of the Chrisme to be peculiar vnto Bishops onely but we say that it was not many ages after which long after it was brought in was common to all Priests The vse of this Chrisme is frequent in your greatest mysteries and chiefly in the benediction of your Agnus Deis as this braue poesie testifieth Balsamus cera munda cum Chrismatis vnda Conficiunt agnum quod munus do tibi magnum Fronte velut natum per mystica sanctificatum Fulgura desursum depellit omne malignum Peccatum frangit vt Christi sanguis
