that will terme himselfe to be Iesus Christs successour to the chiefe Pontificacie and to the soueraignty of Priesthood by him administred which dignity he reseru'd onely to himselfe he remaining eternall and high Priest for euer Who left no successour in his dignity as Aaron and his successours did to the dignity of the Iewes high Priesthood but according to the order of Melchisedeck King and high Priest without any successour in his dignity Wherefore O you Romane Antichrists why haue you assum'd the dignity of high Priests as Heads and Soueraignes of the Church of God and vsurpe the authority of Iesus Christ causing your selues to be entituled most happy and most re●erend Fathers and Popes hauing founded a Colledge of petty purple Pontifes to elect a great Pontife or high Priest but to the end to renew the auncient Ethnick Romane Religion of Numa Pompilius the first founder and erecter of your Pontificall dignities About the same time that this cruell murtherer Phocas set vp Antichrist in the Romane Church Mahomet rose vp in the Church of Arabia instructed by Sergius a Monke about the yeare 620. For this Apostaticall Heritick perceiuing the whole Law of God to be corrupted by humane traditions and the holy Gospell contemn'd also the Sects and diuers heresies planted as well by the Iewish Pharisies Esseans Saduces Masbuthians Galileans Hemerobaptists and Samaritanes as also by Christians the Symoniackes Nicolaitans Cerinthians Menandrians and Ebionites the Valentinians Cerdonians Marcionists Montanists Cataphrigians Tatians Eucratites Seuerians Artemonists Porphirians Helchefaites Nouatians Sabellians Chiliasts Paulianists Manechees Antomousiastes Arrians Eunomians Macedonians Eunomiotheophroniens Eunomeoeutichians Aetians Donatists Luciferians Patripassians or Theopachites Photinians Marcellians Paulosomosetans Apolinarists Iouianists Pelagians Platirians Anthropomorphites Nestorians Sabbatians Acephalians Acarians Olympians Quaternians Monothelites and other Hereticks hauing corrupted the true vse of the Sacraments ordayned of God And seeing also that the Sect of the Messalians especially prospered in their ceremonies taken partly out of the Iewish Law and partly from the Panyme Idolatries hee inuented the high decrees of the Alcoran wherein hee employed many Chapters and Articles called Azoares which are like Canons and Rules of the Mahumetan Religion This briefe and compendious discourse of the Romane History I thought requisite to recite before I began to discribe the originall of the sacrifice of the Masse that thereby I might induce the Reader no vnderstand the truth of the matter how the Romane Empire was gouern'd till the declination of the same which was about the yeare of Christ 410. and how the barbarous Idolaters vsurpt it since for the space of 300. yeares as also the Antichrists haue beene rais'd which still enioy it at this day and haue done for some fiue hundred yeares past CHAP. XII Of the Masse in particular with her true Originall FOr beginning to this our briefe Missall Treatise we must first expresse this terme of Masse called by the ancient Romanes Missa Some haue preferr'd this Missall Sacrifice to take originall from the Hebrewes alleadging that place of Daniell when he speakes of Maozin as if by Maozin they would signifie the Masse But this word in sence stands farre from the Missa or Masse and there are some Hebrew words which come farre nearer to it as Messa which by enterpretation is Conculcation of which word mention is made in the Historie of the Kings of Israell There is also an other Hebrew word very conformable to the vulgar terme of Messel which is Missal and that is hell or the graue But I suppose the great Romane Pontifes would not deriue the originall of the Sacrifice of their Masse from the Hebrewes because then they must acknowledge the Masse or their Missell to be a Conculcation or extortion and hell or a graue And to speake but truth the Author of the Romane Religion Numa Pompilius neuer thought of the Hebrewes when he first instituted the Masse neither can this word Missa or Messe take originall from the Greekes Because there is no sacrifice of this name or title though some haue brought in a colourable reason from this Greeke word Myzein which is to say in French to hide or keepe in secret as if the Messalian Sacrificers receiued from the auncient idolatrous Greekes to mumble secretly the principall words of their Masses that the Auditors might not heare them but they vsed to murmur and whisper betwixt the teeth the Canons and some speciall words which neither themselues nor they that looke on vnderstand Neuerthelesse neither the Hebrew nor Greeke words cannot properly be applyed to the Missall Sacrifice And therefore we must repaire to the true etimologie of the word Missa or Messe drawne from the ancient Latine Romanes who vsed these words Missus Missa Missilis and Missio euen as in French we have Messager Message and Messiues for letters sent Wherefore when the ancient Romane Idolaters meant to dismisse the Assistants at the Sacrifices celebrated they pronounced in the end these words I. licet Missa est depart t is permitted and so the Assembly was dismist to goe home But in time because this note signified a pleasing release of the people to goe home to their houses being a chearefull and acceptable sound it was supprest and the Sacrifice honoured with this terme of Missa To confirme this point two thousand yeares being now come and gone these words are pronounced at this present day Ite missa est which signifies a leaue giuen to the company or assembly to depart so as they themselues which frequent these Temples so soone as they heare this pleasing note Ite missa est commonly they skip and leape for ioy being assured that they are then licenced to goe to dinner The Arabians and Mahumetists instructed for a long time by the Monke Sergius as formerly we cited hold this word of Messa in great esteeme By which word they haue nominated three Townes or Cities called Messa scituated vpon the Ocean shore vpon the Cape where Mount Atlas takes his beginning Neere to the same Townes in the Suburbs there is a Temple much reuerenced by the Turkish Idolaters because they beleeue that from Messa should come the righteous Pontife promised and prophefied of by Mahomet they also thinke that about that quarter or shore of Messa Ionas was cast vp againe after his being swallowed vp by the Whale Furthermore they so highly esteeme this name of Messelmans as we doe the name and title of Christians Intimating by this word Messelman as much as saued Moreouer the Mahumetists honoured their Priests with the name of Messe calling them Messen and their Temples Messites or Meschites Wherefore they that publisht the Anatomie of the Masse the Centons the Foundation Augmentation and embellishing thereof could not but write with speciall reuerence in respect of the ancient Pompilian Religion and the Alcaron Institutions of Mahumet After we haue thus decided

daughter excusing himselfe by a Vow he made which was not so enioyned him by God The sacred signe ordain'd for the High Priest and Sacrificer in celebrating of Sacrifice called the Ephod seruing for an externall ornament was it not abused by Gideon Captaine of Israel when of the spoiles of the Madianites and their earerings hee forged an Ephod of gold by meanes whereof the people fell to great Idolatrie How long was this externall signe of the Ephod abused when an Image was thereof erected in Siloe by the Mother of Michas so that Priests were expressely instituted to sacrifice thereunto and an Altar edified and thus was the true vse of holy sacrifices corrupted While the Temple continued in Siloe into what depraued and adulterate Rites did the Priests and Sacrificers fall who were appointed and ordained for the celebration and Ministerie of holy sacrifices and Sacraments when by long custome they vsurped this priuiledge ouer the people that when the sacrifice was solemnized and the flesh of the oblations was a boiling their sonne or seruant hauing a trident or iron hooke in his hand he had the libertie to rake out of the pot or Cauldron whatsoeuer he could bring vp with his hooke Moreouer with more extreme Leuiticall Tyrannie this seruant of the Priests had the priuiledge to demand of the Celebrater some flesh to roast for the Priest or else he might violently take whatsoeuer he listed Were not these wonderfull abuses and detestable corruptious practised by the sacrificers and High Priests vnder the pretext and colour of sacrifice What groffer corruption can be mentioned then that of the children of Eli the High Priest nam'd Ophni and Phinees who vnder the colour of deuotion committed infamous Whoredoms with the women that watcht neere to the holy Oraculous signe instituted by God For which sinne they were lamentably slaine and the Arke of Couenant violently taken away by the Philistims who erected it in the Temple of their Idol Dagon But God not permitting this sacred signe to the thus prophaned he caused the Image of Dagon to fall downe and sent grieuous punishments vpon the Philistims so as they were constrained to re-deliuer vp againe the Arke of Gods Couenant This sacred signe was so precious and estimable that being but abused and prophaned by the Bethsamites that were not of the Order of the Leuites fiftie thousand of the common people and seuenty of the most apparant and remarkeable amongst them were by diuine reuenge cut off by sodaine death This example may make them tremble that presume to profane the fignes and Sacraments instituted by God Vzza also for abusing the same sacred signe though it were with a good intention to ease the Arke of the Couenant that leaned too much of one side was he not punished with death For other prophanations committed by the Israelites there are examples of Osias punished with Leprosie for adulterating the sacrifices and assuming the Ministerie of incensing allotted onely to the Priests Saul the first elected King of the Israelites was put to the Sword and his Kingdom succeeded to another as was foretold him by Samnel in that he prophaned the sacrifices and permitted his Subiects to commit the like abuses His successors to the kingdomes of the lewes and Israelites did they not perseuer in their abuses and corruptions of the Sacrifices and Sacraments ordained by God when they celebrated Sacrifices to the gods Astaroth the god of the Sidonians Chamos of the Moabites and Melcom or Moloch of the Ammonites building Temples and Oratories for them offering incense and solemnizing sacrifices to them Ieroboam King of the Israelites did not onely erect a golden Calfe as the high Priest Aaron formerly did but hee set vp two golden Cowes in the two Temples of Bethel and of Dan he instituted strange Priests corrupted the Law of God and caused Sacrifices to be celebrated after the manner and forme of Aarons This Idolatrie and corruption of Sacrifices was continued by the Israelites for more then foure hundred yeeres during the reignes of their Kings who had taught them to adulterate the true manner and forme of Sacrifices in particular Chappels and Oratories edified on the tops of hilles and consecrated in shadie forrests violating the law of sacrifices ordained for the holy Temple in the sacred Citie of God For particualr examples of abuses committed against the true vse of sacrifices we reade an historie of Maacha the mother of King Asa who caused an Image to bee erected to god Pan she consecrated and dedicated vnto him a shadie Forrest and celebrated to him sacrifices Achab another King of the Israelites erected an Altar and procured sacrifices to bee solemnized to god Mars otherwise called Baal to whom hee dedicated and vmbragious Groue to please herein his wicked wife Iezabel Hee also built another Temple and Altar to the god of the Tyrians ordained sacrificing Priests and instituted about 40. false prophets His sonne successor Ochosias instructed by his father in corrupting the true vse of the sacrifices caused men not onely to immolate to Baal who signified Mars but perseuering still in farre greater corruptions he built another Temple to the god of the Acaronites called by Iosephus Myos and by the Grecians Priapus to which god hee offered sacrifice And to bee short what more abominable corruption can bee imagined then the inuention of Purgatory fire which the Israelites abused causing their children to passe through the middest of the fire in Tophet a valley belonging to the sonnes of Ennon sacrificing to god Moloch This corruption of sacrifice though it had been practised since Moses time notwithstanding the idole of Moloch in the valley of Ennon was not demolished till the reigne of good King Josias more then nine hundred yeeres after Moses Neuerthelesse this abuse hath been continued by the Arabians and Africans euen to this present day for the Alcaronists and Mahumetans are of this beliefe that the soules of the dead shall passe through fire to bee purged and purified of their offences By this briefe collection wee may cleerely discerne how from the beginning of the world man hath fallen by his owne defect into this gulph of the error and corruption of Sacred Signes Sacrifices and Sacraments instituted for him by God But the most capitall abuses from whence the original of all Idolatry deriues haue proceeded from this in that carnall and fleshly men haue bin alwayes more addicted to visible signes and externall ceremonies then to things signified and intimated in Sacraments for in stead of circumcising their hearts and casting off the old skinne of sinne to bee regenerated and purified by the bloud of the heauenly oblation offered vp before all ages they haue taken and vnderstood the circumcision carnally for nothing but the corporall foreskin circumcised For did they follow the interpretation of God hereof by
