poysoned in taking the Sacrament Strange Absurdities and prodigious Acts to which Transubstantiation would subject the Body of Christ if the Doctrine were true His next Exception is against the Privation of the Cup contrary to the commands of Christ Drink ye all and the Practice of the Church 1 Cor. 11. His third Exception is against Purgatory as if the unspeakable Dignity of the Sacrifice of Christ were not able to blot out our Offences to reconcile our Souls to God and to justifie before the Throne of Justice Besides he assures himself that it is a great diminishing of Gods Mercy Grace and unspeakable Favour and a too-much eclipsing of the matchless Glory of the Ocean of his compassions His next Exception is against the Canonizing of Saints by which means the silly ignorant People are induc'd to commit Idolatry and Spiritual Fornication impiously and incredulou●ly against God who is able to save and restore to life those that are dead that from hence proceeded so many Pilgrimages into strange Countries under pretence whereof many Adulter●es Fornications Sodomies Incests and other execrable acts were committed and the Bodies of those Ador'd and ●uper●●it●ou ly Wor●hipped upon Earth whose ●ouls were tormented in Hell He adds that Gold and Silver can work m●ch with the People for ra● ng of the most vile and wicke● Pe●son ●pon Earth to the reputation of Holiness and De●●ca●●n which never can come from the spirit of Sanctifica●ion but from ●he Authority of a mortal and sinful Man Yet that those were the ●a●nts wherein the Papists put their hopes and at whose hands they look for Succour both in life and death Wherefore says the Convert I utterly renounce them and put my whole trust and confidence in my Creator only And lastly he renders to the Divine Majesty eternal thanks above all other benefits of his large liberality bestowed upon him for his Conversion in particular protesting to imploy the Grace and Gifts it had pleas'd his Omnipotency to endue him withall to the glorious praise of his eternal Majesty and the Edification of his Church where his Word was most purely Preach'd and his holy Sacraments most sincerely administred according to the Institution of Christ John Norman Sub-Prior of Marestay and a Predicant Friar made publick profession of the Protestant Religion the same year and gave his Reasons in the Reformed Churches of Yours and Traisneau to this effect In the first place he bewails for having so long follow'd the way that conducted to Perdition and for having forsaken the true Path which was to be trac'd for the attaining of heaven and then blesses himself for that in the end the Spirit of God had brought him to the light of a holy Knowledge of the way of Salvation Lo now says he you see me unmask'd from the fraudulent embraces of the Strumpet Babel which is the Nursery of all Impiety Now am I loose from the dangerous labyrinth of Errors Errors so abominable that there is no man of never so little Faith but detests and renounces them particularly he instances the boldnes● of the Popish Priests in using the terms Qui creavit me dedit mihi creare se he that created me gave me power to create him and qui creavit me sine me creatur mediante me he that created me without me is created by my means Which he asserts to be a manifest over-throwing the Doctrine concerning the truth of the Humane Nature of Christ who has but one Body and not two Bodies as the words infer for that by their reckoning Christ must have one Body fram'd in the Womb of the Pure Virgin and another which the Creator creates by the Priest In the next place he objects against their daily Sacrificing for the Quick and the Dead by which means the Papists seem directly to infer that the Sacrifice once made by Christ upon the Cross was insufficient In the next place he objects against Praying to Saints as depriving Christ of his excelling Titles of Intercessor and Med●ator In the next place he taxes the Papists with Idolatry in attributing to a thing without life that which only belongs to Christ instancing for example that Prayer of theirs to the Cross Hail Holy Cross our only Hope in this time of passion Encrease Justice to the Godly and give Mercy to the Guilty He further taxes their want of Understanding in believing that by the●r Works they Meritoriously gain Heaven as being a palpable lessening the merits of Christ for that if the Graces of God might be purchas'd by Man's Merits Christ had then dy'd in vain Besides that it is contrary to the Scripture which tells us That when we have done all we can we are unprofitable Servants In the conclusion he tells the World that he has omitted many Superstitions and Heresies that caus'd him to fly from the preten●ed Catholick Religion and to settle himself with all hum●lity in the Reformed Church Adding withall that let his ●nem●es say what they pleas'd or do what they could neither Promises nor Threats neither Injuries nor Persecutions should with Gods grace withdraw him from his Pious Resolution to embrace the true and lively Faith of the Reformed Churches And lastly beseeching the Congregation of the Faithful meaning the Protestants to receive him into their number The Names of several Roman Catholicks that are turn'd to the Protestant Religion In the 12th ●ge from 1100 Sermon 22. upon the Canticles Sermon 5. upon Isai 6.46 Sermon 86. upon the Canticles l. 3. Comment upon the Book of Kings c. 12. Summa sententia Tract 6. to 1200. liv'd St. Bernard a Monk who held Justification by Faith alone and disclaim'd Justification by works I am not worthy says he neither can I by my own merets obtain the Kingdom of Heaven but rest upon that Interest which I have in the Merits of Christ's passion He also taught that the Eucharist was a Commemoration only in his Sermon upon the Lords Supper he also held the Sufficiency of the Scriptures without Traditions affirming that the Word of God was all in all c. Rupertus Tuitiensis taught That whatsoever concerns the Word of God whatsoever was to be known or spoken touching the Incarnation the Divinity and Humanity of Christ is contain'd in the Two Testaments besides or without which two there was nothing that ought to be deliver'd or believ'd And Hugo de Sancto Victore maintain'd Communicating in both kinds Gracianus the Monk Recites many Ancient Canons and Constitutions for Communicating in both kinds C. 6. tom 3. de concecrat dibt 2 and declared his Testimony against Transubstantiation in these words As the Heavenly Bread which is Christ's Body where indeed it is but the Sacrament of his Body so the sacrificing of the Flesh of Christ is said to be his Passion not in the truth of the thing but in●d signifying Myster Of the same Opinion in the same Age was Peter Blesensis Archdeacon of Bath and Johannes Semeca Dominic Calderinus mention●d by Ladovicus Vives condemn'd the whole Mass so that being urg'd by his Friend to go to Mass when he could not in Civility deny it Come said he let us go to the Common Error FINIS
