I take not here vpon me to iudge other mens consciences but such men there haue byn as we may know by reading as God hath opened by notable iudgement I pray God there be none such now I pray God there be none that offend against their own conscience and knowledge and against the holy spirit of God But alas I speake not now of the ignorant and vnlearned sort of people that offend of simplicity and haue a zeale of God although it be not according to knowledge but I speake of them that be learned that knowe well that wee teach you nothing this day but that Christ and his Apostles taught before vs was euermore frequeÌ„ted throughout the church vntil al things grew to corruption And of the contrary parte they doe know and their consciences doe testifie vnto them that their doctrine for the most parte is contrary to the vse of the primitiue churche contrary to the Apostles contrary to Christe himselfe Yet wil these men sooner leaue their liuing then bee present at the hearing of an Englishe prayer or communicate with the people vnder both kyndes They call it a schisme to haue the common prayers in a tongue that the people may vnderstande To communicate vnder both kindes they call it a schisme For the Ministers to be maried they cal it a schisme And other like things which were tedious to rehear se at length Those thinges which were ordeyned by Christ and his Apostles vsed throughout the whole Catholique primitiue Churche without question they cal schismaticall O mercifull God shall wee saye that all the whole world of the Christians euer from Christes time vntil the late time of these later Fathers was in a continual schisme Shal we say that S. Augustine S. Ambrose and other old fathers were schismatiques Shall wee say that Christ and his Apostles taught vs schismes or that was once true and Christian doctrine-is it nowe become a schisme Is the Churche nowe within fiue hundreth yeeres become Catholike and was Christes church and the Apostles churche and the Doctours church not Catholike O Lord if we be deceiued thou hast deceiued vs for if in these doings we be schismatikes for hauing prayer in a knowen tongue or for communion vnder both kindes or for the mariage of Priestes and Ministers where as thou gauest thy communion vnder both kindes and didst choose such as were married to be thy Apostles and didst pray in the common and vulgar tongue as also thy Apostle Paule taught vs to do If this be schisme we are become schismatiques for folowing thine example and that ordinance which thou hast left vnto thy Church But S. Hillarie sheweth how we shalbee sure to know an heresie or a schisme Hee est regula fidei Christus dixit Apostolus dixit This is a rule of faith to say Christ hath said it the Apostle hath said it Christ saith Bibite ex hoc omnes Drinke ye al of this without exception Paul biddeth vs to pray so that the people may say Amen And sayeth Honorabile coniugium in omnibus Mariage is honorable in al men Then is this by Hylaries rule the Catholique faith the contrary is Schismaticall for our faith is buylded vppon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets S. Cyprian saith Non pax est sed bellum nec Ecclesiae iungitur qui ab Euangelio separatur It is no peace but war no Catholike peace or vnity but opeÌ„ war schisme neither can he say I am of the Church that is diuided from the gospel Iustinus martyr as it is reported by Eusebius saide Ipsi Domino non acquiescerem si alium Deum diceret praeter omnium Creatorem I would not beleue Christ himself if he should say there were another God then the creator of al things If he would not beleeue God himselfe teaching otherwise then is sette downe by the woorde of God much lesse would he beleeue the Churche teaching contrary to the Gospel God of his mercy graunt that al our controuersies that we now stand vpon may be hearde and determined by Gods Gospel and open the eyes of our aduersaries that they may see the hope whereunto they are called In the meane season let not vs shunne or refraine them but exhort and counsel them with al sobrietie in the spirite of meekenesse as our brethren Who knoweth whether God of his mercie will call them to repentaunce As God sayde to Saynt Paule by Reuelation Populus mihi multus est in hac ciuitate I haue much people in this citie So I trust I may say at least I doubt not but wee may charitably hope God hath a great number euen among them that runne to the Masse that will yet heare no reason but are stubborne and wilfull Their hearts are in the handes of God and he is able and will mollifie them and of stony wil make them fleshy and of stones make them the children of Abraham and the principall corner stones in the building of his Church Other impedimentes there bee that keepe men from the buylding of Gods house But that which GOD complayneth of by the Prophet is that euery man fell to builde his owne house and lefte the house of God vnbuilded This is the corruption of our nature Such thinges as we shoulde glorifie God withall we abuse moste to the dishonour of God Therefore Christe calleth them thornes and the Mammon of wickednesse not because they are so of themselues for they are the giftes of God but
