were not forbiddē True it is that 1. Cor. 10 11. euery thing happened vnto the Iewes in figure for asmuch as the wholle state of that people was figuratiue of things to come but the principall ende of these iudicial Lawes was the peaceable politicke gouerment of theire countrey so vsed by vs with that intent and not to figure Christ as to come or accepted as from Moises his autoritie now abolished as wee haue saide they are no doubt lawful good Thus much of the iudiciall Lawes But among the ceremonial Laws some indeed there were which had no other relation to signifi e Religion but only in respecte Aug. ep 19 ad Hier. of Christ to come as circūcision Sancta Sanctorum bloodie sacrifices which signified the deathe of Christ and the circumcision of our hartes which he by his bloode was to procure And these to practise and allow is most detestable Gal. 5 2. a disanulling of the faith of Christ Other ceremonies ther were which although they might in that people signifie thinges to come in the lawe of Grace yet this was not theire proper nature but onely in respect that they were in that people whos state was nothing but a figure For of theire owne nature Vide Leonem ser 7. de ieiun 7 mensis they had in them selues a morall goodnesse and did signifie a subiection toward God and gaue ornament comelinesse to his seruice And these so long as they be not taken as binding by the force of the olde Lawe but only brought from thence as proportionable both to the naturall duety wee owe to God and fitte for the better order in matters of religion which S. Paul commendeth 1. Cor. 14 40. may be and alwaies haue bene vsed in the Church Such are the ceremonies of Churches Aultars Candells continuallye burning in the Churches Offeringes Churching of womē abstaining from seruile workes vpon the Sondaye for in this respect of working that Commandemēt was ceremonious For certain it is that we may honor God although wee worke And so we see among Christians that ceremony not to be kept in such rigour as it was by the Iewes because the Church renuing that ceremonie onely forbiddeth seruile works but not trauailing nor riding and consequently not the labour of beastes and such like To conclude all therfore in fewe wordes the Aug. ep 8.9.19 Hier. ep 89. Lawe of the Iewes in as much at it is Ceremonial and Iudiciall is Mortua that is Dead for to vse the word of holy doctors for that it bindeth not But it is not Mortifera perniciosa that is deadly or bringing death to those which vse the particular Lawes therof but in respect of such ceremonies which are not founded in the very Law of nature but only instituted either by Moises or before his time to signifie Christ as yet to come Such are not kneling in praier lifting vp of hands or eies knocking of the breasts and finallye that which wee spoke of Voweing Offering Which may euidently be proued for that it was the generall custome of all nations in which hath at any time beene the honour of the true God is read in the Scripture to haue beene vsed by Gen. 28 20. Iacob before Moises And for more confirmation of this let it bee considered howe the very Apostles of Christ retained Act. 15. necessarily imposed vpon Christians the Ceremony of abstaining from bloode and strangled yet not to be obserued as hauing the force of a Lawe from Moises whereas they expresly say that themselues impose it But only for a charitable knitting See Saint Augustine and Saint Hierome of this matter togither of the Gentiles and Iewes who for their long custome at that beginninge would abhorre those meates which they had before esteemed as vncleane Lette it therefore remaine that these things aboue spoken of neither are Iewish ceremonies but common to al true Religions of all ages if they had bene Iewish yet might they hauing no necessarie signification of our redemption as to come be holesomely instituted and commaunded by Christ his Church S. Tho. par 3. qu. 60 artic 3. I say of our Redemption to come For we in our Ceremonies and Sacramentes for the most parte haue three manner of significations of thinges past of thinges present and of thinges to come Our sacramēts signifie the death of Christ as past the grace of God by them presently wrought in our soules and euerlasting glory the effect of Gods grace which in time shal be reuealed in vs. So CANDELS burning in the Church euen in the day-time especially at the Gospel doe signifie the light of the Gospell Io. 1 brought into the worlde by Christ the light of grace shining in the hearts of the liuely members of Christ and the euerlasting light of Heauen So Holy-water putteth vs in minde of the washing away of our sinnes by Christ his death applied vnto vs in BAPTISME signifieth the present washing of our Soule which wee ought to procure by contrition of hart the perfecte washing away of al filthes when God shal bring vs being purged from all iniquity into Apoc. 21 27. Psal 23 4. 14 2. his holy place where none can be receiued but hee that hath innocent handes and a cleane heart So may wee discourse of other holye ceremonies vsed in Gods Church And it is no maruell though in our state we haue some figure of things to come For 1. Cor. 13 10. wee haue not as yet attained to that which is perfect but onely to that which is in part nowe we walke by Faith and as it were wee see by a glasse in a darke sort but not yet in likenesse face to face Wherefore Christ himselfe by his rest in the Sepvlcher signified the rest of Heauen although the Sabbath bee taken away yet haue we the celebration of the Sunday Aug. lib. 22 ciu c. 30. ep 119. signifying the blessednesse of Heauenly rest The reason of this is because of all those things which Christ caused and deserued by his Passion some are nowe fulfilled as the price of our redēption the benefits of Gods grace Faith Hope such like things but yet ther remaineth the principall which is Iudgement Glory Wherefore meete it was that those Ceremonies which signified all those things as to come should ceasse and othere should be ordained which might both signifie the benefites already obtained and nourishe our hope with the representing of the good thinges to come which being once had all ceremonies shall cease As S. Ihon did insinuate Apo. 21 22. vnto when he said And a Temple I sawe not in it for our Lord God Omnipotent is the Temple of it and the Lambe And those which now mislike the Churches ceremonies and orders vnlesse they repent which God graunt shall not onely be without ceremonies but with out all order with Iob 10 22 sempiternall horror and confusion V What testimonie haue wee of Candells burning
shewed vnto the Saintes For if hee had euer seene it vsed in the day than must it needes haue beene for a signe of ioy honour to the Saintes which he heere denieth to haue beene the intent of the Church Yet that this custome was in other partes of the world far from S. Hierome as in SPAINE FRANCE where Vigilantius liued we may gather manifestly both by his obiection out of others whō we will alleadge Yea S. Hierome himselfe although he seeme not to acknoweledge any general custome of the Church in this pointe yet doth he commend the zeale of who soeuer might perchaunce in some place vse the same euen to honour Saintes thereby comparing their deuotion to that of MARY MAGDALEN when shee powred the ointmente vpon our Sauiour and was by him defended from Iudas his hipocrisie So whosoeuer doth light torches saith he hath a reward according to his faith Whereas the Apostle saith Let euery one abounde in his owne sense These men dost thou call Idolaters We al I confesse which doe beleeue in Christ came forth of the error of Idolatrie For we are not made Christians by birth but by regeneration And because we once worshipped Idolles must we not nowe worshippe God least we may seeme to worship him with the like honor with which we worshiped Idolles That was doone vnto the Idols and therefore must bee detested this is doone to Martyrs and therefore must be admitted For euen where there are no Relickes of Martyrs in all the East-Churches when the Gospell is to be read Lights are kindled euen the Sunne shining not to driue away darkenesse but to shewe a token of ioy Wherefore those Virgins Mat. 25. of the Gospell haue alwaies their Lampes burning And to the Apostles it is said Let your loines bee Luc. 12 35. girded burning Candels in your hands And Io. 5 35. of Iohn Baptist Hee was a Candle burning and shining that vnder the type of corporal light that light may be shewed of which we reade in the Psalter Psal 118 104. A Candell vnto my feete is thy worde O Lord a light vnto my pathes Thus farre Saint Hierome Theodoretus Lib. 5. cap. 30. reporteth of the translation of Saint Chrysostoms bodie made in his time in which the whole mouthe of the straite called Bosphorus was couered with candels burning the boates being so many that the sea seemed to be firme land The same Ibidem cap. 34.

Gregory And Lib. 7. ep 2 cap. 1● Germanus the Patriarch of Constantinople reporteth the like deuotion to Images S. Iohn Damascen 3. De Imag. writeth of Lights before S. Simeons Image In the history Vide hist scrip a Constantino Porphyr also of the Image of our Sauiour at Edessa of which we spake before wee reade of a Candel burning before it In vita Siluestr Finally Constantine the great offered to the Relickes of SS Peter and Paul many Candel-sticks ordained that there shoulde be maintained many Lamps continually burning The like vnto which is to bee seene in a Donation made by Saint Gregory to Sainte Peters Church in Rome which being cutte in Marbell from very auncient time is now extant in the Porch These things therefore many other which might be brought doe euidently shew that which we purposed That is that as al other Ceremonies be holesomely obserued in the Church to represent vnto vs the benefites of God and to shewe our duty and subiection towardes him So also this of Candels is most profitablely retained to shewe our ioy exultation in Christ to represent vnto vs the light of Heauē to put vs in minde of the light of the grace and Gospel of CHRIST to stirre vs vp to walke like the children of light finally that which is an inuincible argument to See Sainte Hierome cited before shew vs that in an external signe of which the Scripture yeeldeth vs so manie signes in writing For as wee maie by reading the Scriptures put the people in minde of these excellent significations of light so may wee also by shewing the thing it selfe after a reuerend solemne maner admonishe them of the same light and stirre them to a deepe and earnest consideration of their dueties Whereas writings are but signes of the things thēselues as a Heathen Poet saith Segnius irritant animos demissa per aures quam quae sunt oculis subiecta fidelibus Ho●at in arte Poet. More slowly do those thinges moue the minde which are hearde than those which are seene VI How is it voide of Heathenish superstion that we aske in Pilgrimages diuerse things of diuerse Saints THis is another obiection of our aduersaries whereby as before they charged vs with Iudaisme so nowe because the Heathens vsed ceremonies often-times not vnlike to ours they inferre that wee are professours of Paganisme But this was long since aunswered by See pag. 605. Sainte Hierome cited here immediately before when he said that for the same reason wee must not worship God because the Gentiles vsed to worship their Gods And That was doone saith he to Idolles therefore must be detested This is doone to Martyrs therefore is to be admitted The like also doth Lib. 20 cont Faust cap. 21. S. Augustine aunswere to Faustus reprehending the honor of Martyrs as though we made thē Idols For saith he we must not therefore contemne detest the Virginity of NVNNES because there were in times past Virgins consecrated to Vesta Whence it proceedeth that the Gētiles superstitions were like to holie ceremonies True it is that the diuel who euer since the begining hath had a desire to be like the highest hath alwaies studied to transferre the rites and ceremonies of Gods people to his abominable Idolatries So witnesseth the holie Scripture 1. Mach. 3 48. reporting that in the time of the Machabees out of the sacred bookes of the Lawe the Gentiles did search out a similitude of their Idolles So also witnesseth Lib. de perscript Tertullian Hence was it that as the same Tertullian affirmeth the Gentiles hadde many superstitions much-like vnto our Sacramentes as a kind of Baptisme a certaine mysticall Bread taken no doubt frō the Iewes whose waters of expiation and breade of proposition gaue the Gentiles occasion of an Apishe and Sacrilegious imitation Nowe what meruaile if the Iewes Ceremonies being so like ours as that they were purposely instituted to presignifie them the Gentiles superstitions imitating the Iewes doe somewhat also resemble our holy Ceremonies Whereas hereof it must needs followe which Lib. 20. cont Faust cap. 21. Saint Augustine saith that as the Iewes
