A long Albe a Girdle and a Stool set full of Pearls hanging down from about his Neck but if he were but a Deacon before he was elected then the Stool must lye on his lest shoulder only and come down with both ends fas●ned under his right arm Then after they put upon the Pope a red Cope called a Pluvial and Mitre set and deck● with precious stones and they make him sit upon the Altar and then they kiss his feet and then he is consecrated and the Consecrator blesseth a precious Ring to be put on his singer saying O Lord God Creator and Conservator of Mankind giver of spiritual Gifts and Graces and greater of 〈◊〉 health and 〈◊〉 thou O Lord send down thy blessing upon this Ring c. and while this Prayer is said the Pope stands up and in the mean time one of the Colliters holdeth the Ring in his right hand kneeling down at the beginning of the blessing thereof and the Consecrator the Prayer being ended sprinkleth it over with holy Water and then puts it on the Popes singer saying Take this Ring as a sign and token of Faith c. and Oyle being poured upon his Head by the Consecrator the Cardinal-Deacon dryeth it up again with crumbs of Bread and then setteth on the Mitre and then he gives the Cardinals his feet and hands to Rite and so the Consecrator saith forth the Mass and before he is crowned the Cardinals Deacons Sub deacons and Colliters apparel him in a white Amise and long Girdle a Stool and a red Pluvial and a Mitre and being thus decked he goeth down to the place called St. Peters the Cross being carried before him the Cardinals and Deacons on either side bearing up the skirts of his Pluvial and the noblest of the Laity being present though it be the Emperor or a King must bear up the train of the same and next before the Pope goeth the Minister of the Ceremonies with Reeds in his hand upon the one tow and upon the other a burning candle and when the Pope is past the Ch●ppel of St. Gregory so called the aforesaid Minister turning him to the Pope setteth fire on the tow kneeling down and saying with a loud Voice Holy Father so passeth away the glory of the world which he doth three times and then the Gospel-book is laid upon the Popes shoulders and afterwards he goeth up the Altar and the Prior of the Cardinal-Deacons taketh the Robe called Pollium from the Altar and putteth it upon the Pope saying Receive the Pall which is the sacred Plenitude and holy perfection of the Pontificial Office to the honour of Almighty God of the blessed Virgin Mary his Mother of the holy Apostle Peter and Paul and of the holy Church of Rome and then maketh it fast about the Pope with Buckles and Pins And when the Pope first receiveth this Robe he goeth to the Altar and kisseth it and then kisseth the Gospel-Book and then putteth Incense into the Censers Then they proceed to crown him after this sort The Pope receiving the Gloves and Rings with the other Implements goeth upon a high Stage made for the purpose and when all the La● people are gone out of the Church so called and the Pr●●●● are c●me together the Deacon on the left hand taketh off the Popes Mi●●● 〈◊〉 Deacon on the right hand taketh the Tiare or Cro●● called a Triple Crown and setteth 〈◊〉 on the Popes bead and th●n going to the Church of Latte an so called he goeth up into the Gallery or Cloister of the same where the Prior of the Cannons holdeth him the cross to kiss and the triple Crown is taken off and the Mitre put on and then he is had to a place or seat without the Gate on the left hand called Stercoraria which signifies a Dunghil and setting down on the said seat and leanning down so low that he seemeth rather lying then sitting the Cardinals come to him and lift him up saying He lifteth up the needy from the dust and from the dunghil exalteth the poor that he may sit among the Princes and possesss the Throne of Glory Then the Pope rising up taketh so much money in his hand out of the bosome of his Chamberlain as he can gri●e and casteth among the people saying Arge●●um Aurum non est mihi quod autem habeo hoc tibi do I have neither Gold nor Silver but that that I have that I give thee and at the Popes Feast after he is crowned when he drinketh all the Assistants and Servitors kneel down So great is the pride of this Prelate These things are truly extracted out of the First and Second Sections of the First Book of Ceremonies aforesaid written by a Papist CHAP. XIII The time when the Tythes were first given in England by whom and by whose Authority a Law for payment of Tythes was first established First Whereas it is alledged that Abraham paid the tenth of the spoil that he got by the Sword to Melchisedeck and Melchisedeck made him and his Soldiers a Feast this was not by the command of God nor an example that all Kings and Princes should pay tythes of all their spoil nor the tenth of their Estates For you never read that Abra●am paid it afterwards as you may read in Josephus and Genests the twenty third and Jacob saying to the Lord when he went from Esau at his return he would surely give him the tenth of all that he gave unto him when he vowed a vow This is no example for Christians to pay Tythes no more then it is to offer Sacrifice for he ffored Sacrifices And again Wh●reas it is alledged that Levi took ●ythes and Aaron which was called a Heave-offering or a Shake-offering which tythes was for the Priest Levi and the Widow and the Fatherless and the Stranger that there might not be a Beggar in Is●●ael So you that hold up tythes must hold up the first Priesthood which ord●ined to offer Sacrifices and hold up the Shake-offering and the Heave-offering and so deny Christ come in the flesh and to be offered up one Offering once for all For if the Levitical Priesthood be standing which came after the Order of Aaron then your tythes and Offerings is standing for Levi

by Council Papist Those Councils was gathered by Popes Quaker The Councils was gathered some by the Christian Emperors were them Emperors Popes Dost thee believe the Chronicle six hundred years after Christ Papist I do then there was no Universal Bishop until six hundred years after Christ Quaker And one Council was gathered by the Emperess and was she a Pope Nay this was before the Universal Pope was and Christ said to the Apostles that the Gentiles exercise Lordship one over another but it should not be so amongst them for they are all Brethren and the Gentiles were called gracious Lords which titlethe Bishop of Rome and other Bishops had from the Heathen and not from the Apostles for they was not be called of men Master And so Peter was not set over the rest of the Apostles as Head over them and what was said to Peter concerning having the Keys and binding and loosing was said to the rest of the Apostles as you may read in Scriptures And as concerning the Church that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church of the Papists when Phocas got up to be Emperor did not the Emperor lose most part of his Empire and the Pope most part of Turky and Egypt and Jerusalem and the Land of Canaan Has he not lost England Ireland and Scotland and part of Germany Holland Denma●k and Swerden 〈◊〉 and yet the old man the Pope tells people that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against his Church Let him look about him and see what he has lest and what he would have had left if he had not set up his Inquisitions to torture Christians in the time of the Council of Trent and when that the Princes of Germany in the time of Luther when they defired that for every tristing businesse they might not be summoned down to Rome was it not the Popes answer If it should not be so their Courts would be made or no authority but would go down And did not the German Princes desire that the Concubinary priests might marry For though by the Law they had Concubines yet they desiled other mens wives did not the ope say If I should suffer the priests to marry then they would not go where I would have them but would sit down with their wives And when the German Princes and others desired a free General Council such a Council as was in the time of Constantine mark that was before the Pope was three hundred years See Council of Trent p. 2. did not the Pope chuse a Council of his own Legates and people contrary to the mind of the Germans and others and then did not many of them fall from the Pope and many in France who got the victory over he Pope and yet he says the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church Consider people see what he has lest And after the Pope got up and had lost most of Christendom and the Emperor had lost most of his Empire for the Emperor's seat was at Constantinople before the Turk got up which was after the Pope and then after a time the Emperors came to be thrust up into Germany and called the Emperors of Germany So here see whether the Pope is not he that loveth and maketh a lye Rev. 22. Papist You speak as if you could tell our principles if you know them what is our principles Quaker I 'le tell thee I 'le begin with one There was a woman in Kent one of your Religion and by her Wisdom and Books she had brought many into your way and upon a time it pleased the Lord to convince this woman to see your way was false and Christ was to be her Way her Teacher and Salvation and so she went and declared this among the Papists And upon a time a Taylor that she had brought to be a Papist came to work at her house and she declared to him how Christ was her Way her Teacher and Salvation and he got betwixt her and the door and drew his knife at her it was askt her why did he draw his Knife she said he would have stabb'd me why would he have stabb'd thee why it is their principle What is it their principle to stab people Yes said she if they turn away from their Religion and the woman said Put up thy Knife I know thy principles Papist VVhat do you declare this abroad Quaker It is declared abroad and the women since dyed in the belief of the truth of God and forsook your way and so the Papist went away and never denyed but that it was his principle Papist The Papists say the Quakers are Antichrist and false Prophets Quaker VVhy are they Antichrist and false Prophets Papist Because they say they do prophesie and say Christ is in you c. Quaker Then thou may say the Apostles were false Prophets which shews thy ignorance for they said Christ is in you except you be Rep obates and we preach Christ in you and I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh and my sons and my daughters shall prophesie Read Cor. Col. and Acts. POSTSCRIPT AND you Papists that say there hath been a Head of the church and therefore the Pope must be Head of the Church for Aaron was Head and Moses was Head To which I say Moses was a married man and Aaron was a married man and Eleazer and Ithamer and Aaron was a Priest and Eleazer and Eli the Priest was a married man and Samuel was a Priest and was a married man and had Sons 1 Sam. 8. And by the Law of God the Priests were to marry as you may read in the Books of Moses But your Pope whom ye say is Head of the Church makes a Law contrary to Law and Gospel That Priests must not marry and Popes must not marry but the Popes have bastards and by the Law the priests may have Concubines and this is contrary to the Law to have Bastards and contrary to the Gospel to have Concubines for every man must have his own Wife And you Popes and Papists who say that you brought over the Bible first in England and you preserved the Bible think you not that all people sees you in this For you have been them that have kept the Bible from people in an unknown Tongue and though all profess to be believers in Christ yet they must not have the Scriptures in their own Language in this you are contrary to the Apostles shewing you are degenerate from them who judged them that spoke in an unknown Tongue And Christianity was planted many hundred years in England by Joseph of Aramathea before Austin the Monk brought over his trifling Traditions and Ceremonies And whereas you Papists call some Lay-people and some Spiritual which was not the way of the Apostles to do so and such that be under some Oaths Vows or Orders or has the natural Languages which began at Babel these you call spiritual which be in swearing

The Philistines came to fight against Israel and they cryed to the Lord to save them and to help them and the Lord heard their prayers and thundred that day upon the Philistines with a great thunder and discomfited them and they were smitten before Israel Therefore it is good to trust in the Power of the Lord and not in the Arm of flesh 1 Sam. 7. For this Victory was obtained by prayer and the people forsaking of their sins And in the dayes of Saul the Philistines came against Israel and the Lord made an uproar among the Philistines that every mans Sword was set against his fellow and they destroyed one another 1 Sam. 14. So mind the power of God And often the Lord delivered David out of Saul's hands and his Armies without weapons of Warr but by the power of God and trust therein And the Lord delivered Jacob from Esau which came against him with Pour hundred men And so it is good to trust in the power of the Lord. Gen. 32. And God delivered Elisha from the Armed Host and struck them with blindness 2 Kings 6. And also when the Assyrians besieged Samaria the Famine was so great that an Asses Head was sold for Fourscore pieces of silver and the Fourth part of a Cab of Doves Dung for Five pieces of silver and some did eat their own Children but the Lord did cause a noise in the Camp of the Assyrians as of Chariots and Horses and of an Army so that they were greatly afraid and fled and left their Tents Thus the Lord helped them without any stroke of man Therefore it is good to trust in the Power of the Lord and in his strength and not in the Arm of flesh 2 King 7.
