By the which Iesus Christ our true Pastor and Bishop the father of mercy hath opened the inestimable Treasure of grace 1 Cor. 5 and mercie 1 Pet. 1 which is the Treasure of all faithfull Christians vnder Heauen to the end that all those which trust and firmely beleeue that this bloud was spilt for the remission of their sinnes might be saued and deliuered from the snares of the diuell Gal. 1 And so hereafter in steed of sinning wee might doe good works like vnto our Redemers in louing our neighbours yea euen our enemies euen as Iesus Christ hath loued vs Iam. 2 which were his enemies Deut. 1 therefore gaue himselfe vnto death for vs Leuit. 9 and that we should bee helpfull vnto all in all we can Mat. 22 with as free and good a will as hee hath done good vnto vs not hauing respect vnto the rewarde but onelie vnto Iesus Christ And to the end ye should not thinke that these Pardons and Indulgences bee false counterfeit we will hereafter following recite the witnesses which were present when they were granted beeing all credible persons and who were all expressly commanded to beare witnesse therof vnto all in generall The Witnesses of the Premisses FIrst as concerning the ould Testament Moyses witnesseth in his booke of Genesis and other following in divers places That by Iesus Christ of the seed of Abraham Isack Iacob Iuda and Dauid all people shall receiue blessing and saluation Item Esay 19. 2 33. 35. 43. 18. 53 Esaie Ieremie Ioel Michay Malacky doe witnesse That the saluation of Israell and of the elect people of God is in Iesus Christ Ioel. 2 Secondly Mich. ● that in the new Testament Mala. 2 Saint Mathew witnesseth that our great Bishop Iesus Christ saith I am not come to bee serued but to serue and to giue my life for the redemption of manie Item Mat. 9. 20. 26 Behould my bloud which shall bee for the remission of sinnes Item hee said vnto one sicke of the Palsey that he should beleeue in him Mar. 9. 16 and his sinnes were forgiuen him The like vnto the sick woman vnto the Leper vnto the Blind and others Saint Marke witnesseth also that Iesus said vnto the father of the Possessed If thou canst beleeue all things are possible vnto him that beleeueth Item in another place Whosoeuer will beleeue and bee baptised shall bee saued And in manie other places Saint Luke witnesseth saying Blessed bee the Lord God of Israell for hee hath visited redeemed his people Luc. 12. 24 Item Behold I bring you tidings of great ioy vnto all people to wit that this daie is borne the Sauiour which is Christ Ioh. 13. 5 Item it is written So it behoued that Christ should suffer death and rise againe and so enter into his glorie and that men should preach euerie where in his name repentance and forgiuness of sinnes Saint Iohn witnesseth that Saint Iohn Baptist did publicklie approue Iesus Christ saying Behould the Lamb of God which taketh awaie the finnes of the world Item whosoeuer belueeth in Iesus Christ the son of God he hath euerlasting life Item Verclie I saie vnto you whosoeuer heareth my word and beleeueth in him that sent mee hee hath euerlasting life and commeth not in to iudgment 1.

authority to expresse and declare to decree also and cōmād those things which concern faith Christian manners and that because this word changeth according to the age and is fitted unto the time and that the Romish Chur. hath power also to adde new articles thereunto even in the points of faith The greatest mischief is that these traditions and instructions of the unwritten word are not only additions unto the Scripture but also manifest oppositions thereunto whereof the Mass alone doth furnish us with many examples 1. For Iesus Christ administring the holy Sacrament of the Eucharist spake in a tongue understood of the standers by but the Priest in his Masse speaketh in an unknown language 2. Iesus Christ administred to all there present but the Priest oftentimes eateth drinketh himselfe alone 3. Iesus Christ communicated the cup unto all and willed that all should drink thereof but the Priest drinketh alone and denieth the chalice unto the people 4. Iesus Christ offred nothing to God but the Priest prayeth in the Masse that God would be pleased with his oblation 5. Iesus Christ made no elevation of the hoste but the Priest houldeth up an hoste to bee adored 6. In the institution of this holy Sacrament there is no speech of a sacrifice nor of sacrificing the body of Iesus Christ cleane contrary the Priest pretendeth the sacrificing of the body of Iesus Christ in a reall propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead also 7. Vnder the Table of our Lord there were no reliques hid We beseech thee Lord through the merits of the Saints whose relicks wee have heer and for the merits of all the Saints besides that thou wouldest vouchsafe to pardon all our sins nor the bones of any Patriarch or Prophet on the contrary the Priest hath under the stones of his Altar the bones of the dead without which reliques an Altar cannot bee consecrated and so accordingly the Priest in his Masse craveth salvation by the merits of those Saints whose bones lie hidden under that Altar a thing that Iesus Christ never thought of 8. Iesus Christ witnessed that it was the fruit of the Vine that hee drank but the Priest denies that it is so 9. Iesus Christ will that we make commemoration of him but the Priest pretendeth to make Iesus Christ himself 10. Saint Paul saith foure times that we eat break bread on the contrary the Priest maintains that we neither eat nor break bread 11. The Lord instituteth a Sacrament but the Priest celebrateth a Sacrifice In a word the one administreth the Communion the other singeth Masse expresly made to dis-figure the holy Supper of our Lord. These Masters thinke themselves well fensed with using a childish recrimination in objecting unto us that seeing wee will imitate our Lord we ought all to celebrate the Communion after supper in a high chamber and not to admit of women but neither the place nor the houre nor the sex of the assistants is either part or essence of the action and without any of these the action remaineth intire nor hath Iesus Christ touching the same given any rule or forbidden any circumstance But the chāge which wee object against them is in things essentiall and which change the nature of the action seeing that thereby is introduced an adoration not commanded nor practised by the Apostles and a sacrifice established which our Lord hath not ordained and an authorized superstition about dead mens bones and a publike repast changed into a private Mass and the people frustrate of understanding their ordinary service and instructed to take God and to eat their Creator adore the creature and deprived of one halfe of the Sacrament to wit the cup wherof Christ hath said 1 Cor. 8. 11. Drink ye all of this as also the Apostle commandeth the people of Corinth to take the cup as well as the bread Let a man prove himself and so eat of this bread and drink of this cup. Whereupon wee propose a means of agreement which cannot bee refused but by him that loves discord or is thirsty of Christian blood or which will war against God for all Christians confesse that Iesus Christ hath done well and that there is nothing amisse in his institution and that even when it might bee lawfull to celebrate the holy Communion in some other fashion then hee did yet all agree that it would not bee ill done to follow his example speak as hee spake and doo as he did Now this is that which wee demand and certaine it is that the Pope might make an end of all contētions sprung from this point which trouble and divide Christendome if hee would restore the holy Communion unto the form in which our Lord did celebrate it laying aside all disputes binding the people unto the example of the Son of God What incommodities or incōveniences soever might bee alleaged against the same could not bee put in balance against the obedience which wee owe to Iesus Christ against the peace of Christendome and the re-union of that rupture and separation of people which hath caused so many troubles and spilt so much blood and which goareth the side of the Ro. Church as well as ours exposing it to the violence of Turks and Infidels Every spirit that is not preoccupated will easily acknowledge that this is the language of truth wherewith lest your consciences should bee touched they use a device namely to represent unto you our religion altogether other then it is and paint it out unto you like a hideous monster and to make us speake things wholly against our beleef And thereupon many amongst you are of so easie beleef as to chuse rather to learne what our religion is by our enemies invectives than by our owne confession yea after wee have protested not to beleeve any thing of all they father upon us yet would they make us perswade our selves that wee beleeve that which wee beleeve not wherein they justifie us before they bee aware For thereby they privily confesse that our religion truely proposed cannot bee encountred and that if it were represented in as true colours at the very first it would make a strong impression in the minde of the Auditor through the evidence of the truth thereof They tell you 1. that our religion teacheth that good works are not necessary 2. that the Elect may without danger licence themselves to doo evill 3. that God gives no recompense to good works 4. that God constraineth our willes and forceth them unto good 5. that we accuse God of injustice as having given us a law which wee cannot accomplish 6. that wee are enemies to the Saints and the Virgin Mary 7. that for the understanding of the Scriptures every one of us vanteth to have a particular inspiration 8. and that wee deny the Almightinesse of God in the Eucharist Is not this all false and contrary to our beleef 1. Our religion teacheth that good
