A14292	The golden fleece diuided into three parts, vnder which are discouered the errours of religion, the vices and decayes of the kingdome, and lastly the wayes to get wealth, and to restore trading so much complayned of. Transported from Cambrioll Colchos, out of the southermost part of the iland, commonly called the Newfoundland, by Orpheus Iunior, for the generall and perpetuall good of Great Britaine.	Vaughan, William, 1577-1641.; Mason, John, 1586-1635.	1626 (1626)	STC 24609; ESTC S119039	176,979	382

things were to whom though the old man answered that they were a kind of Goslings yet the yong Religious man could not rest so satisfied but he would needes haue one of those Goslings home with him for his recreation There is a Record yet to bee seene in England of a Grant made by an Abb●t of certaine lands vpon condition the Tenant would prouide a pretty yong wench once a moneth for my Lord Abbot ad purgandos renes to purge his reines Many other examples may be produced to proue the impossibility of fulfilling your monasticall vowes Why then doe you tollerate with vnlawfull lust with billing and bussing like Owles while yee may goe neately about it without any disparage and marrie in the open face of the Church To this Saint Francis answered that hee measured other mens dispositions by his owne and for his poore brother if he erred he erred not of any malicious thought but of pure Loue which is the Soueraignest blessing required in all honest men to root out the contrarie which is Hatred Likewise hee shewed out of profound Schoolemen that there were seuen kinds of Kissing The first a charitable kisse a kisse of charitie which the Patriarkes and the Saints in old time vsed one to another as also in the Scripture is implied by our Sauiour Kisse the Sonne least he be angry And againe Let him kisse me with the kisses of his mouth This sacred kisse did his louing Brother substantially engraue on the lips of his sweet Sister And because the memoriall of his vertuous Loue might sticke there he infused it with a long temporizing breath of halfe an houre together as with a deepe Seale and Character not to bee forgotten by her which kisse being so imprinted could not but argue an entire vnion in their Soules by a pleasing harmonie and a honeyed participation of excellent Charitie As for Doctor Wicliffe impeachment hee hoped that an Hereticks supercilious taxation was not of force to condemne an act of Charitie being a man euer reputed euen among his own Sect too rigorous austere whose teeth might perhaps water at such a daintie obiect because hee had not met with the like happinesse himselfe And if the said Doctor Wicliffe did misconster their true intent he retorted that embleme which the Knights of the Noble Order of the Garter by the Institution of Edward the third King of England vsed for many yeeres to embellize Honte soit qui maly pensoit Shame to him that euill thinketh The second sort of Kissing is called a Complementall Kisse which the English allow by way of Complement and friendly ceremonie to salute their friends wiues withall or any of the Feminine kind often-times giuing it with a smacke to rellish the better This is a harmlesse Kisse iustifiable both at comming and parting But more then two Kisses at one meeting a seuere Lord President of Wales could not endure The third kind of Kissing is a naturall token of Loue among the married couples whereof let them discourse whom the Church hath so conioyned in the Honourable state of Matrimonie The fourth degree of Kissing is called a Lecherous kisse vsed vnlawfully among them that shunne the light or in the Stewes to despite their Angell Guardians and to call the Sunne as a witnesse of their obstinate standing out against their Great Creatour The fift sort of Kissing is termed an unnaturall kisse of man with man a minion-kisse such as Iupiter vsed to Ganymede his Cup-bearer and which I am sorrie to heare of such as some of our Italians doe practize to the obloquie of our Catholicke Romish Church This kind of kissing Pygmalion falling in loue with an Image of his owne caruing often vsed It seem'd a virgin full of liuing flame That would haue mou'd if not with-held by shame So Art it selfe conceald His Art admires From th' Image drawes imaginarie fires And often feeles it with his hands to try If 't were a Bodie or cold Iuorie Nor could resolue Who kissing thought it kist He courts embraces wrings it by the wrist There is a sixt kind of Kissing called a Iudas kisse where with he bearing honey in his mouth and gall in his heart mel in ore fel in corde did most treacherously betray his Master Christ such a kisse likewise as Ioab gaue to Amasa at the instant when hee killed him being compared to the salutation of the antient Irish who when they purposed to doe an ill turne laughed and smiled thereby to make the innocent stranger secure and carelesse of his safetie The seuenth sort of Kissing is stiled the kisse of Grace or Honour which Potentates and great Princes haue vsed to conferre on inferiour Persons by reaching their hands or feet to be kissed by them This last of the Foot doth properly belong to my Lord the Pope to countenance and fauour Emperours and Kings like the Sunne which lends the beautie of his rayes to the Moone and lesser Starres though in very deede they are no more worthy being worldly-minded creatures to kisse his holy and sanctified Foot then Saint Iohn Baptist to approach vnto Christ whose shooe latchet hee confessed that hee was no way worthy to vndoe I know Doctor Raynolds in his workes de Romana Idololatria mislikes this as a marke of Antichristian Pride not accepted by Saint Peter though a meaner man then an Emperour would haue done that vassalage vnto his Holinesse But Heretickes know not the reason of Saint Peters refusall Let them therefore vnderstand that the Triple Crowne was not at that time settled on Peters head and withall that Saint Peters deniall saying My selfe am also a man sauoured not so much of modestie as of a Courtly putting by the vrgent presumption of such an inferiour Person as Cornelius was For perhaps if the Roman Emperour himselfe would haue sued for that Honour with teares and humilitie he might haue had the grace to kisse his Foot When a subiect sues to a King for some extraordinarie Gift which he is not willing to bestow hee will not daunt him with a rigorous repulse but answeres him that he will consider of it Le Roy se auisera Of these sixe last kisses I dare cleere my good Franciscan He is as harmelesse as my selfe I can assure your Maiestie being of my owne education and like me in conditions And a very Ideot then replied Apollo But the young Fellow lookes as if he had more wit then his Tutour more Knaue then Foole. You haue discoursed of sundrie kindes of Kisses Yet for all your simplicitie you haue learnt that magisteriall trick of State for the credit of your Order propter bonestatem domus to couer the sinfull pollutions of your Brood because they are sweet veniall sinnes But if a Lay man had committed such a crime in the Church it had beene exorbitant worthy of fire and faggot Old Couper of Westminster found no such fauor nor Aduocate to defend his innocencie for one poore kisse which hee
