A56195	A rational account why some of His Majesties Protestant subjects do not conform to some exuberances in, and ceremonial appurtenances to the Common prayer published for the instruction of the ignorant, satisfaction of all contenders, and the churches union in Gods publick worship.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.; Stucki, Johann Wilhelm, d. 1607. Antiquitatum convivialum. Liber 2, cap. 26, De vestitu conviviali.	1673 (1673)	Wing P4048; ESTC R7507	105,873	159

Areopagita Origen Ambrose and Rabanus to justifie this custom from whence the Lords day Easter week and the Feast of Pentecost on which Christians heretofore were usually baptized and then clad in White Garments were stiled Dominica et feria in albis and by our English Calanders Nation till this day called White-sunday and White-sontide because all persons baptized on them and Virgins too were then usually clad in White Garments Feria 2. In albis hac hebdomada to wit after Easter vocatur quod Sabbato sancto baptizati vestem candidam quam in baptismo acceperant gestare consueverint ac in ea induti ac albati usque ad alterum Sabbatum quo solenni ritu albas deponebant writes Learned George Cassander If then this antient custom of Clothing all baptized Persons in white Robes Rochets Surplisses so long continued in the Churches of Christ before any such Vestments wore by Bishops Priests Deacons grounded on the self-same Texts reasons and some better grounds than Bishops Priests or Deacons wearing these Garments he now totally laid aside through the Pride Usurpation of Popes Prelates Clergy-men who appropriate them only to themselves by way of distinction from other Christians without any scandal or prejudice to Religion then à fortiori Bishops Priests Deacons Rochets Surplisses and other Vestments may be discontinued and laid quite aside as uselesse superfluous if not schismatical dividing discriminating Christians from Christians and Clergy-men themselves from one another raising many unnecessary contests inconsistent with our Churches peace and unity 6ly If a white colour or white Linnen Garments be badges of innocency purity chastity and should mind those who wear them of and excite them to these virtues as is pretended then there is no need at all of white Surplisses Albees Rochets or Lawnsleeves for these purposes For 1. every Bishops Priests Deacons and other mans white Skins the natural Garment of his Body which he wears upon him all his life or his white linnen Shirt Wastcoat he wears day and night all the week year long his white linnen Bands Cuffs Handkerchiefs and linings of his Dublet Hose or the white Sockes he usually puts on every day and not puts off till night his white linnen Night-cap Sheets which he lyes down and sleeps in every night the white linnen Napkins Table-cloaths Towells he daily useth the white bread meat milk egges he eateth every meal the white wax or Tallow-candles he burns the white sealings walls he beholds in his House Church Chapel every day the white Paper wherein he writes and all the Bibles Missals Common-prayers and other Books Papers he reads written or printed the white Corporals Altar-cloaths he beholds at every Sacraments the white frocks of Porters Carters Millers Grooms Hostlers they daily wear the white Dublets of men Wastcoats Peticoats Aprons linnen Mautles of every Woman the white sleeps beasts foul birds snow hail wool flax or radiant light of the Sun Moon Stars and via lactea in the Heavens might abundantly mind every Bishop Priest Deacon unless more dull and averse from purity piety innocency and sincerity than any other sort of Christians and more effectually excite every Clergy-man or pious reasonable Christian to innocency purity sincerity than all their Albees Rochets Surplisses or other Church vestments which they wear only for a short season not constantly all the day as they do their other induments And why white Rochets Surplisses Lawn-sleeves alone should be badges memorials of or incentives to purity innocency chastity rather than all other white ordinary Vestments Utensils Meats Creatures or why Archbishops Bishops Priests Deacons and Clergy-men alone should wear them when as all wear white shirts bands cuffs and other linnen Garments as well as they without distinction no solid reason can be rendered to satisfie any reasonable mans judgement or conscience 7ly If White be a badge of Innocency Holynesse chastity purity as is pretended then why should not Archbishops Bishops Priests Deacons and all Cathedral-men wear white Hats Caps Gownes Cassocks Girdles Doublets Breeches Stockings Shooes but only black red or russet Vestments as sundry Popish Councils and our own Canons enjoyn them as well as white Rochets Surplisses or Lawn-sleeves Or why should they not wear only their shirts instead of Surplisses Rochets upon their Gowns Cassocks and wearing Cloaths or their Surplisses Rochets Lawn-sleeves under their other Cloaths Instead of shirts It was a witty Question a pratling Girle of seven years old demanded of Doctor Laud when Bishop of London arrayed in his white Lawn-sleeves and Rochet Pray Vncle why do you wear your shirt upon your Gowne and Sleeves when other men wear their Shirts under them At which the Bishop smiling could return her no Answer but this That it was the custom of Bishops to do it And had she demanded of him further how his white Sleeves Rochet alone could be a badg of his universal Innocency purity sanctity when his Gowne and all the rest of his Garments were coal-b lack or whether his Innocency purity sanctity were not put off together with his Lawn-sleeves Rochet and laid quite aside till he put them on again He could hardly have returned a satisfactory Answer to these Demands 8ly If Bishops and Clergy-men wear white Rochets Surplisses in the Church only to distinguish them from the people and others not in Orders Then 1. no unordained Singing-men Parish Clerks Choristers Scholars in our Universities should be commanded as now but prohibited to wear Surplisses in the Church 2ly Bishops and Ministers respective Consecrations Ordinations presentations inductions installments to their Bishopricks Benefices perception of their Rents profits tythes and their constant preaching praying officiating baptizing administring the Lords Supper and diligent exercising of their Ministry in the Church are sufficient of themselves without any Rochet or Surplisse to difference them from the people As good trees are best known by their fruits not leaves so are good pious holy Bishops and Ministers of the Gospel best known and distinguished from the Laity by their good fruits by their diligent discharge of their Duties Functions their exemplary transcendent Piety Charity Humility Heavenly-mindednesse and by renouncing the Pomps vanities riches honors of this present world and all the sinfull lusts of the flesh according to their Baptismal vow even as Pope Coelestine the 1. asserted long since in his Epistle to the French Bishop cited in the Title page The Council of Calchuth under our King Alswoold Anno 787. cap. 3. prescribes this as the principal badge and duty of every Bishop Priest ut diligenti cura ad Gregem sibi commissum praedicet The Councill of Clovesho An 747. and the Excerptions or Canons of Egbert Archbishop of York about the year 750.

to their People once a Month Quarter Year yea cry up Common-Prayers to suppress frequent constant preachings when as the Council of Trent it self resolves That preaching of Gods word is the principal part of a Bishops Office and belongeth chiefly to Bishops Whereupon it enjoyns them and the Parish-Priests throughout their Diocess to preach every Lords day and Holy day and in the time of Fasts Lent and Advent to preach the word of God daily or at least thrice a week and at all other times whenever it may be oportunely done for the salvation of their people whom they are diligently to admonish that they repair to the Church to hear Gods word when ever they can conveniently do it Yea Bernardinus Senensis a famous Popish Fryer is not afraid to assert That the People are more obliged to hear and Priests to preach the word of God than to hear or say Masse and that experience manifests that the People will incomparably suffer more prejudice both in Faith and Manners and grow more void of the fear love knowledge of God and veneration of the● Sacraments and more over-grown with the stench and horror of sinnes by the want of preaching than by the want of Masse and Common-Prayer concluding Sic utique est populus sine divino verbo licet etiam Missae frequententur sicut mundus sine sole That the People without the preaching of Gods word although they frequent Masse and Common-Prayers will be but like the World without the Sun And therefore all our Bishops Ministers should much more diligently press and apply themselves to the diligent frequent preaching and all People to the assiduous hearing of Gods word than to the reading or hearing of Common-Prayers which too many esteem the principal means to instruct and save their Souls and more necessary than preaching of the Gospel of Christ though the Power of God unto Salvation and principle means of faith of converting and saving the souls of those who believe it 6. That there are some things in the Book of Common-Prayer very necessary and fit to be amended As 1. the mis-recital of Ezech. 18. 21 22. in the very beginning of the Book which many much abuse to the deferring of their repentance 2ly The continuance of the old English Translations of the Psalmes Epistles Gospels and other Texts of Scripture according to the Versions of Mr. Tyndal Thomas Matthews and Mr. Coverdale which are not so exact so agreeable with the Original and Dialect of this Age as the more compleat refined Translation made by King James his Command now onely read and used in our Churches and most private Families Therefore most fit to be used and henceforth inserted into the Common-Prayer-book to take away all former controversies and exceptions against the old Translation as well by Mr. Thomas Cartwright the Lincoln-shire-Ministers Altare Damascenum the Assembly of Perth and others heretofore and of sundry Ministers of late times especially against that of ●sal 105. v. 28. occasioned by the Printers omission of one syllable to wit obedient for disobedient not the Translators Only I shall observe that the old Translation of Phil. 2 10. in the Epistle for Palm-sunday according to the Greek Original all Latin Translations but one all English Versions whatsoever but the Geneva and that of King James which ought to be amended in this particular truly rendred the words That IN not AT the Name of Jesus every knee be bowed or should bow in the passive not active verbe and sense of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth c. till corrupted and turned into A not IN the name of Jesus every knee should bow c. in the active not passive signification by Dr. Cosins about 25. years past expresly against the Original the Latin and most other Translations whatsoever the old English translations of Trevisa Tyndall Matthews C●verdale the Bishops Bible Dr. Fulke Mr. Cartwright the Epistles and Gospels printed in English at Paris Anno 1558. yea against the very sense and scope of the Text it self and our English dialect 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In Nomine c. being never rendred or translated At but IN the name alone in all Texts Liturgies Collects Writs Warrants Histories Authors whatsoever and the phrase ●T the name never heard of read used in any English Latin Greek Hebrew Syriack Arabick French Spanish Italian German Sclavonian or other Writer whatsoever but only in this Text and all to justifie the Ceremony of bowing the head and putting off the hat at the sound or hearing of the name Jesus first introduced and prescribed by Pope Gregory the 10. about the year of Christ 1272. at the reading of the Gospel only after that enjoyned by other Popes Popish Canons Decrees and Masse-books with indulgences annexed for the users thereof to induce them thereunto though never intended nor prescribed by this Text nor practised in the Primitive Church for above 1200 years space nor in the Reformed Churches abroad nor enjoyned by the Common-Prayer-book or any Injunctions or Canons of our Church confirmed by Parliament to make them valid as I have elsewhere proved at large 3ly The frequent repetition of the Lords Prayer purposely instituted prescribed to prevent much babling and vain repetitions in prayer in use only among the heathens who thought they should be heard for their much speaking expresly prohibited by our Saviour Mat 6. 7 to 16. and by Eccle● 5. 1 2. Prov. 10. 19. Which Repetitions seem to countenance the Papists vain Battologies and abuse of the Lords Prayer in their M●ssals Offices Rosaries Psalters Beads by many successive rehearsals thereof against the express command and institution of Christ 4ly The often rehearsals of Good Lord deliver us Wee beseech thee to hear us good Lord by all the People in the reading of the Letany Which Antiphonies and Responsals between Minister Clerk and People except Amen at the cloze of every Prayer have no Precept nor President in Scripture or solid Antiquity but only in Popish Missals Pontificals Offices Processionals Ceremonials Psalters Primers And the interposition of it no lesse than twice in the midst of the Letany and Prayer for THE KING dividing it into three parts seems not onely superfluous but incongruous and ridiculous to many I shall not at all insist upon kneeling at the Sacrament the Crosse in Baptism the King in Mariage for which there is neither command nor example in Scripture or the Primitive Church next after the Apostles which Mr. Cartwright Mr. Knewstubs the Lincolnshire Ministers Mr. Parker Mr. Paybody Doctor John Burgesse Archbishop Whitguift Master Hooker Doctor Prideaux and sundry others have at large debated pro contra and may be omitted or left arbitrary to all but only confine my self to some few Particulars which others have but slightly touched not satisfactorily discussed SECT 1.
