the takinge of them into his handes he determined with himselfe not to make any more vse of them God would not haue thinges dedicated to his honor to be transferred to any prophane vse vppon anny pretence whatsoeuer And for that Nicephorus Phocas Emperor made a lawe by which he reuoked and called backe all lawes that were made in fauor of churchmē for that they had such ample patrimonie and that the poore as he alleadged was not releeued nor the soldiors had wherwith to eate Lib. 1. in in Constit 69. orient The Emperor Basilius did repeale that statute by another lawe by these wordes Vnderstandinge that the lawe of Nicephorus made after that he vsurped the empire against the church and church liuinges was the only cause and ofspringe of all our mischeefe and present callamities for that lawe was not only don in preiudice of the church but also it was plainly against the honnor of God and seinge wee finde by experience to our great greefe that nothing succeeded well with vs neither did wee want continuall callamities after the makinge thereof therfore wee comaunde that it shall cease and be of noe force nor anny other lawe against the church 6.

Allas how manny maledictions were cast vppon the protestants for comittinge sacriledge and for robbinge of churches as that of Corronell Randale and 500. English soldiors withall their munition and victualls which were blowen vpp into the ayre by their owne pouder by an extraordinarie accident of a Woulfe who rann with a firie taile into the church of Derrie in Vulster which by the said Randall was polluted all which in a moment did perishe with a shipp that was at ●anker by the said church Anno Domini 1565. Also of one Sentleger beinge master of the mint that was at Rosse in Ireland in the monasterie of S. Francis in kinge Edwardes dayes who for that the workmen told him that they were beaten by S. Francis euerie night went himselfe of meere presumption vnto the said monasterie to lodge the verie first night he went thither he was soe assaulted that he rann madd and rann headlounge that verie nighte into the riuer and drowned himselfe and his carcase was found dead vppon the sand that morninge In the warres of Garret Earle of Desmond the English garrisō that was at Yonghull a port towne in the prouince of Mounster in their sally foorth vppon the enemies went to a certaine monasterie called Melanie which is scituated in an Iland and in the riuer of that towne called the broade water one captaine Peers beinge the leader of that garrison caused a fire to be made and one of his companie called Bluett an Irishman and natiue of Yonghull making fire of the image of that Sainct called Melanye vppon the suddaine fell madd and died within 3. dayes after And the said captaine for that he comaunded him soe to doe was depriued of the vse of his limmes and falling into a dead palsie was neuer founde vntil he died and his companie were all killed by the said Earle his Sensciall this happened 1580. 8. Alsoe one Poet an Englishman breakinge downe a monasterie of S. Dominiques in the North part of Yonghull fell dead downe from the toppe of the church all his limmes beinge broken Anno Domini 1587. Also three souldiors of that towne which did cast downe and burne the holye roode of that monasterie died within one seanight after they hade done it An. 1580 The firste fell madd and died within 3. dayes after The second was eaten with life and died within 5. daies And the third was kild by the said Earles Sensciall within 7. daies after all which manny of that towne now ●iuinge can wittnesse An. 1608 The Lord Crowmell that cast downe the steeple of S. Patriques Church in Vlster dyed within one seanight after some said he fell madd and died therof Also an English carpenter that went vp vpon the vesterie of S. Patriques church of Dublin fell downe his bones were brokē and died frantique within 2. dayes after An English captaine that pulled downe the holie roode of Cahir An. 1609 rann madd and cast himselfe from the toppe of the castle of the said Cahir headlonge into the riuer and drowned himselfe 9. Garrett Earle of Desmounde after beinge proclaimed traitour accompanied with his brother Sr. Iohn of Desmound and 800. more in their company for their first exploite inuaded the towne of Yonghull which they spoyled ransacked burnt and destroyed the howses tooke away all the poore inhabitants goodes stript them most cruelly of all their cloathes and left them both man and wooman naked not permittinge them to hide or couer their secreat pertes which nature it selfe would faine couer rauishinge married woomen with manny other wicked actes which they perpetrated not sparinge church or sanctuarie nor any thinge whatsoeuer that was sacred which they polluted defiled and brought euery thinge to vtter confusion and desolation makinge hauocke aswell of sacred vestimentes and chalices as of any other chattle Certaine Spaniardes which were with them at that wicked exploite perceauinge by the furniture and ornamentes of the churches that the townes men were all catholiques and containinge their handes from spoiling were reproued by some of that wicked companie for that they tooke not parte of the spoile as others did but they aunswered that they ought not to robbe or spoile better christians then themselues And one of the said Spaniardes cut his cloake as S. Martine did in fiue partes and distributed the same vppon fiue children which were stript of their cloathes and lefte naked by some of the kearnes But very fewe or none of them escaped a miserable end For the Earle himselfe was beheaded by a poore souldior beinge ●ound in a woode with a verie smale

desolation the other to restore the same to the auntient perfection thereof the one of a religious man became an Apostate of a continent became lecherous of a saint became a diuell the other of a seculer became religious of a souldier became a saint of a man became an Angell And as at one time and in one night S Augustine was borne in Africke and Pelagius the heretique was borne in Englande and as Pelagius intended to ouerthrow the church with his peruerse heresie and S. Augustine laboured to restore the same by his founde doctrine so the blessed Ignatius with his religious blessed family labored to destroy the darnell and cockell of heresy which Luther Caluin and all their most wicked and blasphemous sectaries haue sowen in the feild of our Lord which is the Catholique Church 4. Others after him were made instrumentes to reforme the slacknes and desolation of the clergy as Phillip Nereias and other godly people at Rome and els where in our owne dayes and haue also cast their beames into other kingdomes especially Italy Fraunce and Spaine Seing that God can neuer be glorified in this world but by his church nor his church can neuer be manteyned but by sacrifice and sacramentes nor sacraments can be offered or done but by pristes for the which they are ordeyned and instituted cheifly and principally And whosoeuer goeth about to take away preisthood taketh away both sacrifice sacraments religion church and consequently robs God of his honour spoiles him of his glory and depriues Christians of theire knowledge loue of him 5. This preist-hoode is deuided into two orders the one speculatiue and the other practicall and as Christe was interteyned by two deuout sisters Mary Martha so he is also continually serued in his church by two religious orders which Mary represented I meane the speculatiue and the order of the cleargy which Martha signified Ambros epist 25. This saint Ambrose declareth saying Who can be ignorant that in the church of God there are two excellencies the one is the office of the Clergy the other the institution of Monkes the one to be exercised and practised amongst men the other to be trained vp and accustomed to abstinence patience the one to be represented on the theater the other to be hidden in a corner the one to be a spectacle to the world the other to be kept in secret And therefore that worthy champion of our Lord saith spectaculum facti sumus Deo angelis hominibus Wee are become a spectacle to God to Angells and to men the one fighteth against the confusion of the world the other against the allurementes of the flesh the one more profitable for his neighbor the other more perfect for himselfe both of them denie themselues that they may serue Christe perfectly because to men of perfection it is said whosoeuer will come after me let him deny himselfe and follow me the one doth strugle with the world the other wrestleth with the deuill the one ouercometh the baites of the world the other flies from them vnto whome the world is crucified and he vnto the world the one hath greater tentation and greater victory the other lesse daunger and greater secury thus farre saint Ambrose by which you may perceiue the state of those that liue in Cloisters and Monasteries and Monkes Friers and such as liue abroade in the world in continuall feare and manifest daungers in which many are fallen and many others are vpholden Of the multitude of religious persons CHAPTER V. 1. NOthing is soe ircksome vnto our corrupt nature and carnall disposition altogether corrupted with the too much alluring humors of sensuality intoxicated with the blinde affection thereof as to caste the yoake thereof away from vs by taking vp Christes crosse by denyinge our selues to follow Christe whereof in so doing wee may apply to our selues that verse of the prophett Deripuisti Domine vincula mea tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis O Lord thou hast broken my fetters I will sacrifice vnto thee a sacrifice of praise Which euer was obserued in all ages of the gospell by vtterly renouncinge the world with all the pompes thereof which was put in execution by the perfection of religious vocation 2. How many thousandes or rather millions by the examples of saint Paule the Hermitt and saint Antony haue caste off this yoake abandoned or rather abiured the world retired themselues to the desertes there with greater liberty of spirite better security for their saluation and les daunger of tentation to serue God all the dayes of their liues Athan. in vita eius Of the said saint Antony it is written by a moste holy sainte that in the mountaine there were monasteries as if they were tabenacles full of deuine quires of such as songe psalmes and praied which seemed to inhabite a certaine infinite region seperated from all conuersation amongst whome saith he there was peace and concord there none hated another either by word or frowninge wherefore that of the scripture may be verified thereof Num. 23. quam bon● domus tuae Iacob how good are the house of Iacob the tabernacle of Israell they are like woodes that doe shaddowe like a paradise vpon riuers like tabernacles which are pitched of our Lord and like Cedars of Libannus about the waters 3. Hieron in vita Hillarion The like testimony saint Hierom giueth of saint Hilarion who about that time founded many monasteries in Palestine wherein also Macharius the disciple of saint Anthony and Ca●iton founded many monasteries in one of which as ●odorus recordeth were a thousand Monkes It is said also that one Apollonius had 5000. Monkes vnder his gouernment In the mountaine of Mitria which is 40. miles from Alexandria were 5000. monkes in 50. monasteries which were all gouerned and directed by one Superiour Syria and Aegipt did also a●ound with such swarmes of holy monkes that the wicked Emperour Iulian the Apostate and Valens compelled them by force and violence to goe as souldiers to the warres but quickly afterwardes God punished both the one and the other for their labour saint Hierome wrote the life of those Monkes 4. Palladius Bishop of Cappadocia went in pilgrimage barefooted being accompanied with 7. to visite the Monkes of Aegipt they came vnto a certaine citty by Thebes called Oxirnicum in which they found such religion and sanctity as they by word could not expresse in which there was no heretique nor gentile and wee saw more monasteries and religious houses there said he then prophane houses so that euery streete and corner thereof were replenished with deuine praises and celestiall Alleluias the whole citty being as it were but one only church inhabited and possessed of the seruantes of God the Bishopp of that citty tould them there were 20. thousand Virgins and 10. thousand Monkes wee are not able saith he to expresse with what entire affection honour and feruour of charity they enterteined vs. He saw also
