CERTAINE GREEVANCES VVELL VVORTHY THE SERIOVS CONSIDERATION OF THE RIGHT HONORABLE AND HIGH COVRT OF PARLIAMENT Set forth by way of Dialogue or Conference betweene a Countrey Gentleman and a Minister of Gods word for the satisfying of those that doe clamour and maliciously revile them that labour to have the errors of the Booke of Common Prayer reformed By LEVVES HEVVES Minister of Gods Word Printed in the Yeare 1640. A DIALOGVE OR CONFERENCE BETWEENE A COVNTREY Gentleman and a Minister of Gods word about the Booke of Common Prayer Gentleman I Am very glad that I have met with you and did long to speake with you that you might satisfie me in some things concerning the booke of Common Prayer therefore I pray you tell me truely as I hope you will is there any thing in it contrary to Gods word Minister Yes verily it is full of Popish errours and doth appoint horrible blasphemies and lying fables to bee read to the people in stead of Gods holy word and hath caused the Church of England to groane under the abominations of the Church of Rome even from the infancie of it in Queene Elizabeths time untill this houre and now there is great hope that a time of refreshing and deliverance is at hand through the blessing of God on this Parliament Gent. I never heard any blasphemie or lying fable read in the Church Min. I thinke so because it may bee that you were never in the Church on those dayes wherein they are appointed to be read Gent. Upon what dayes are they appointed to be read Min. On the fourth of October in the forenoone it appointeth an horrible blasphemie to bee read for the first lesson out of the 12 of Tobie and the ninth verse where it is written that Almes doe save from death and purge away all sinne which is a maine ground of Popery and an horrible blasphemy against Christ and his blood that clenseth us from all sinne 1 Iohn 1.7 Also in the 15. verse of that chapter it is written that there are seven Angels that doe present our prayers which is an other horrible blasphemie against Christ who only doth present our prayers Rev. 8.3 4. Gent. These are horrible blasphemies indeede I pray you let me heare some of the fables that are in it Min. On the fourth of October in the afternoone it appointeth a lying fable to bee read out of the 11. of Tobie where it is written that Tobie going to the doore to meete his Son Tobias comming from Rages did stumble and that his sonne ran unto him and laid the gall of a fish to his eyes and that the whitenesse did scale off and hee restored to his sight On the 30. of September another lying fable is appointed to be read of an Angell that was sent to scale the whitenesse from his eyes and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel to his sonne Tobias in marriage and to bind Asmodeus an evill spirit that was in love with her and had killed seven men that had beene married unto her On the first of October an other lying fable is appointed to be read how Tobie being about to send his sonne Tobias to Rages in Media for a wife did bid him go and look for a man to goe with him that he went found an Angell brought him to his Father who promised to give the Angell wages and agreed with him what hee should have by the day and sent him with his sonne and his dog On the third of October another lying fable is appointed to bee read how Tobias being come from Rages did call the Angell unto him bad him take a servant and two Camells and goe to Rages for money and that the Angell went and carried writings which he delivered to Gabael who brought baggs of money sealed up which hee delivered to the Angell Gent. O horrible how have the Bishops deluded King Edward the sixt Queene Elizabeth King Iames and our gratious King Charles and the whole estate and made them beleeve that there was nothing in the Service Book contrary to Gods word God Almighty deliver us from them now that you have shewed me the blasphemies and lying fables shew also what are the Popish errours that are in it and first tell me whether the Service book doth command that all both Ministers and people shall bow their bodies when the name Jesus is read Min. The Bishops onely without any warrant from God but from the Pope Gent. I have heard that the Name Iesus was a common name among the Jewes was it so Min. Yes Syrach of Ierusalem had a son whose name was Iesus Eccles. 50.23 also Ioshua the son of Nun was called Iesus Acts 7.57 and one of Saint Pauls fellow labourers was called Iesus Col. 4.11 Gent. Why doe the Bishops make an Idoll of the name Iesus by causing men to bow their bodies and to put off their hat when it is read Min. Because they mistake the word of God where it is written that at the name of Iesus every knee shall bow both of things in heaven of things on earth and of things under the earth Phil. 2.10 Gent. What is the name of Jesus Min. As by the name of our gratious King Charles is meant not the name Charles which is a common name but the authority and power that God hath given him over all people within his owne dominions as when men are prest to the Kings service they are prest in the Kings name that is by vertue of authority and power from the King even so as by the name of King Charles is meant his authority and power c. so by the name of Jesus is meant the authority and power that God hath given him over all things in heaven and in earth and under the earth Gent. What is meant by things in heaven Min. By things in Heaven are meant the holy Angels and soules of the faithfull that have no knees Gent. What is meant by things on earth Min. By things on earth are meant all mankinde living on earth whether they be Elect or Reprobate Gent. What is meant by things under the earth Min. By things under the earth are meant the devills and damned soules in hell Gent. What is meant by bowing of the knee Min. By bowing of the knee is meant subjection Isa. 45.23 and not bowing of the body when the name Iesus is read as Pope Anastatius did command An. 404. Gent. What is meant by bowing of every knee of things in heaven of things on earth and of things under the earth Min. Thereby is meant that all the holy Angels and Saints in heaven and all mankind on earth and all the Devils and damned soules in hell shall submit themselves to Christ and acknowledge him to be Lord of all and to have power over all to save and to condemne whom he will Gent. What doe you thinke of them that kneele when they receive the Communion bread Min. The Papists say
