A13025 A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion. By Thomas Stoughton minister of the word Stoughton, Thomas. 1598 (1598) STC 23316; ESTC S113794 180,055 360

drop of Christs blood waieth more then all the sinnes of the world that concerned religion hard and negligent This man not with standing accustomed himselfe to piaie vnto the virgin and once a daic to say an 100. Av●● Maria. Being brought vnto extremitie and taken into a transe the Duclus ad extrema raptus est ad extasin deuills presented him to the highest iudge crauing sentence that he might be iudged as their owne God therefore knowing his sinnes many waies saide he should be damned In the meane time came the blessed virgin offering The virgin bringeth a writ of errour to r●uer●e the former iudge ment of her sonne the rolles in which were contained all his Ave Maria desiring her sonne the second time to proceede to iudgement But the deuills brought many bookes of his sinnes so on both parts the bookes were put into the ballance but his sinnes waied heauier Then the blessed virgin seeing that she did not profit did most deuou●ly make supplication to her sonne saying Remember deare sonne of my substance thou tookest substance visible palpable and passible and therefore giue me one droppe of thy bloode which was shedde for sinners in thy passion Then saide he It is impossible to denie thee any thing yet know that one droppe of my blood waiethvp all the sinnes of the whole world Take therefore that which thou hast asked The which she taking put it into the skoales and it ouerwaied all the sinnes of the foresaid religious man as if they had beene but light ashes Then the deuills departing consounded Tanquam savillam cryed saying The ladie is too mercifull to Christians therefore we faile so often as she putteth her selfe into the conflict His soule therefore was brought againe to the bodie and he recouering told all these things and Monkerie a reward of lying was made a monke 16 Like vnto the former is the 51. the The virgin a friend to encrochers summe and effect where of is this A certaine secular man occupied in countrie busines as he was many waies euill so in plowing of his ground he would encroch vpon his neighbours and steale from them Not with standing he had sometime the virgin in his minde and did often deuou●ly salute her When he was dead the deuils gathered them selues together hoping to haue his soule The angels also were present she wed the good things that he had done the deuils like wise brought forth his infinite euills Here upon they triūphed as thinking they had gotten the day but one of the angels pleaded that he was wont with great deuotion to salute the virgin The vncleane spirits hearing these things left his soule and went away ashamed So was his soule deliuered from the power of his aduersaries 17 The 53. example is of one that hauing learned of a virgin that cuery one that fasted How good a thing 〈◊〉 is to fast on saterdaies in the honour of the virgin on saterdaies in honour of the virgin Marie should neuer die without the sacraments did therefore obserue the same and beeing beheaded his head when it was cut off cried Confessiō confessiō The 54. is like vnto this 18 The 57. A certaine soldier did daily salute the blessed virgin Marie with an Aue One saued onely by saluting daily the virgin Matir without doing any other good thing Maria when he arose in the morning and at night when he laied him downe to sleepe He did no more good and by the grace of the virgin he was saued Like vnto which is the 45. example of a notable theefe that nener had done any good thing but onely fasted on saterday to the blessed ladie and prouided her one masse yet by the grace of the virgin he spake fiue wordes at his ende by which he was saued The like is also in the 60. example of a certaine priest that was a notorious sinner and drowned as he went about his sinne or after he had committed it and yet saluting the virgin he was saued But this was mentioned before in the seruice of the virgin made by Bernardine de Busti Lastly like vnto the former is the 72. example which is of a grieuous sinner that neuer had done good but onely saluted the virgin euery daie and yet beeing dead and chalenged earnestly by the deuills to be theirs the virgin Marie rescued her and saued her 19 The summe of the 78. example is this A priest desireth to see the virgins beautie A certaine priest of Paris very deuout to the Virgin entreated earnestly to see her beautie At lēgth he was certified by an angel that his praiers was heard by the virgin and that on such a daie and houre shee would come vnto him and he should see her but withall that afterwards he should be blinde The priest was glad of this ridings and willingly accepted the condition But after the departure of the angel he began to thinke with himselfe that if he should loose both his eyes he should be vtterly vndone a miserable person a beggar as being vnfit for any thing There fore he determined with himselfe to behold her but The priest coseneth the virgin with one eye and to shut his other eye and that if he might keepe the sight of one eye that would be sufficient When the day appointed came the virgin appeared and he put his hand before one of his eyes and with the other did behold her seeing so much of her beautie and glorie as can be expressed with wordes or thought in heart So he lost the The beautie of the virgin sight of one eye not with standing he was so rauished with her beautie that he greatly lamented that he had not beheld her with both his eyes and reprooued himselfe for shutting of one eye wishing that he were wholly blinde so as he might see her more fully Wherefore he praied more earnestly that hee might see her the second time The angel therefore was sent againe to certifie him of the second comming of his ladie The priest said that if he had a thousand eyes he could be content to loose them all for euer vpon condition that he might see her againe Then the angel signified that he should see her againe and that he should not onely enioy that eye which alreadie he had but also haue the other eie restored And so it came to passe whereby we may consider how excellent the beautie of the virgin is and how delectable a thing it is to beholde the same with our eyes 20 The 83. example A certaine painter painted the deuill with hornes and other Marie vpholdeth a painter from falling members as fouly as he could to make him the more horrible but he painted the image of the blessed virgin Marie so comely and so faire as he could with diuers colours The deuill therefore was very angrie with it and enuied it and in all hast came to the painter and questioned with him
