Honour and my Life to boot G. You argue very politickly but a Christian must not reason so Our Lord doth not permit us to do the least evil that good may come of it Besides there are many other things in your Mass which are a great offence to me As first it is Celebrated in a Tongue I don't understand and suppose I d●d understand something of it most of the people understand no Latin at all The Saints are Invocated and God is prayed unto with the Intervention of their Merits which are put into conjunction with those of J C. and yet we know that J. C. alone is our Mediator Advocate and Intercess●r with God and that it is by him alone and his Merits that we have Access to the throne of Grace The greatest Saints that ever were have stood in need of this intercession and have been saved by it alone And if this was not so yet what reason have we to pray to those that are dead who neither see nor hear us as being out of the Commerce of this World and far removed from us Moreover your Mass is a Sacrilegious Communion for the Assistants are invited to it but upon Condition that they do not present themselves to Receive and to those that do present themselves they give only the one half of what J. C. commands should be given and taken In a word there is no going to Mass without kneeling or seeing others kneel before Images which is a thing expresly for bid by the divine Law Now if any one be present at Mass he must either do all these things himself or at least partake with the Sins of those that do them D. That the Latin used in the Mass may be no rub in your way it will be translated into French for the use of the People Nay it is promised that the Mass shall be publickly celebrated in our Mother Tongue to comply with your weakness and as for Prayers addressed to Saints if they do no good at least they do no hurt and all other things in the Mass which may offend pious and tender Ears will be altered nay more it is promised that the Cup shall be given to those who demand it provided always that none be so bold to demand it on his own private Authority I 'll suppose with you that it is an unjust thing to refuse the Cup to the Laity however suffer it as a piece of injustice and oppession are you to answer for the Sins of your Superiors Celebrate the Lords Supper if you please in your own Houses but do it so as the Curate may not perceive it for otherwise we should be charged with a second Mission to perfect your holy Conversion What you alledge of Images offends me as well as you and I could wish I had Orders to rid the Church of them as I have to clear your House of whatsoever is good to eat drink or make mony of which if I had I protest to you I would soon dislodge them all without sparing so much as one of them wherefore in the mean time to free one self from the Guilt of this Idolatry it is enough to inveigh against Images and as far as lyes in our Power to bring them into dislike and detestation with others and more than this you are not oblig'd to See there Sr if I mistake not all your scruples removed and doubts resolved I hope therefore you are ready and willing now to become a Catholick G. You take them away indeed very much like a Cavilier but let me tell you not at all like a Christian L. Well I have no more to say to you and therefore do summon you once more in the Name of the King my Master to become a Catholick What do you believe his Majesty is damn'd G. Pray Sir don't turn your discourse that way if you were in Turky and that a Turk should bespeak you to become a Musulman with this Emphasis what do you think his Highness is damn'd would you be pleased with this Discourse The King believes he does well in following the Religion he professeth and as for me I should think I sin'd if I follow'd the same or professed the same against my Conscience Pray Sir would you your self be willing that others should force you to become an Huguenot in spite of your Teeth D. Alas Sir how good and simple you are as for our parts we are for any thing that pleaseth the King and if the Great Lewis would think fit to embrace the Alcoran we would readily comply with it we blindly follow the Orders and Will of that August Monarch who is as infallible as either his Father or his Mother for he is the eldest Son of the Holy Father the Pope and the Holy Mother the Church and he shall be so in spite of all those that envy him be it Flemings Hollanders English Germans booted spur'd arm'd Cap a Pie or whosoever else you please G. All these Titles are denyed him in all other Parts except here in France D. No matter for that we are in France and do not trouble our selves about Strangers But enough of this discoursing I summon you a third time in the Name of the King to become a Catholick G. I have been so long since D. Roman Catholick I mean G. Is it not enough then to be a Catholick D. No you must be a Roman Catholick and I have Orders to make all of your House to become Roman Catholicks beginning with you and ending with the Dag and Cat which we will bring along to Mass that they may keep you company there but you shall march first at the head of them The Gentleman endeavours to make his Escape D. Whither do you think to flee you must obey either willingly or by force Hither Comrades come help to bind this obstinate Heritick I think the Devil is in him pray cast abundance of Holy Water upon him let the holy Father Mogileon be sent for the spiritual and carnal Father of so many Children in France and out of France and who knows how to exorcise the Magdalens of this Age better than any Austin Fryar or Carmelite in Europe The R. Father Mogileon enters with a sprinkling Brush in his right Hand a Stole aboue his Neck and a Book of Exorcisutes in his left Hand F. Mogil I exorcise thee Creature Huguenot by the H. God by the true God by the living God and by him who shall come to judg the World by Fire unclean Spirits of Luther of Zuinglius of Calvin and of Beza who art come hither through the Woods and Forrests of Germany over the Mountains of the Alpes the Rocks of Switser-land the Vallys of Luzerne and Agronne and the pestilent Lake of Geneva Spirit of Schism Sedition and Apostacy depart at this very instant out of this Body design'd to be fill'd with the Holy Spirit which proceeds from his Holyness which speaks nothing of it self and inspires nothing but what his Author
