Hee ordained that the Masse should be received with equal authority as if it had proceeded from the Euangelists or Apostles themselvs These Popish orders of these croaking frogs were not lesie then an hundreth sorts of them and they were in all parts of Christendom not one village was free of them and these were established to suppresse the hereticks as they did accompt thē These Locusts were prophecyed of before by Heldegardis which Mr. Fox doth record Exod. The Holy Ghost hath foretold us that there should arise a nomber of Locusts out of the earth ●evel 9. which should have stings like Scorpions those are the Fryers and Monkes who when they could not pervert men from the truth of the Gospell then they would falsly charge them and affirm they did maintain certain grosse heresies which they did alwayes detest and abhorre and thus have they slaundered these faithfull Servants of Iesus as Master Brightman doth well observe And of these false teaching Fryers there needs no farther or clearer testimonie for their conviction then the condemnatiō that Hildigardis foretold of them and her testimonie touching them is void of exceptiō since they hold hir for a Prophetesse she prophecyed first against the Prelates and Priests charging them with their abhominable living in neglecting the Word of God and betraying the truth and destroying the Law She foretold thereof 70. yeares before they were And this testimony M. Fox affirmeth he received in parchment written in ould Characters in Latine hee doth shew certaine ancient writers who have alledged it And this is M. Brightmans translated into English as followeth In those dayes there shall rise up a sort of Blockish fellowes proude covetous perfidious and crafty The Prophecy of Hildegard that shall eate up the sinnes of the common people carrying a certain shew of foolish superstition under a fained coverture of beggery preferring theselves before all other men by reason of a counterfait Religion Men of an arrogant disposition and fained holynes voide of all shame or feare of God In inventing many new mischiefes strong stout but all prudent men faithfull Christians shall curse this pestilent order Men who will shunne labour and give themselves wholy to idlenes rather chusing to get their living by flattery and beggery and that will bend themselves with all their might every way they can perversely to resist the teachers of the Truth and hinder them and for this end they will flatter noblemen that they may assist them in this purpose They shall also deceive the Nobles and draw them into errour that they may furnish them with all necessaries yea with all the delights and pleasures of this world For the Divell shall ingraft these foure principall vices into their minds Flattery Envy Hypocrisy and Sclander Flattery wherewith to purchase great matters to themselves Envy whē they shall see benefits bestowed uppon others besids thēselves Hypocrisy whereby they shal seeke to please men by means of a conterfait dissembling Slander whereby they shall extoll sett out themselves with prayses by derogating from others that they alone might be renowmed among men specially the simpler sort that are deceaved by them They shall preach indeed diligently but without all sence of pietve and not after the manner of the holy Martyres of old They shall derogate from the secular Princes they shall take away the Sacrament from the true Pastours and shall take almes of those that are very sicke and miserable insinuating and by litle and litle winding themselves into the harts of the common people They shall have familiarity with women teaching them how to deceave their husbands and freinds with sugared and dissembling words how to robbe them of their goods then to give the same being thus purloined unto these their teachers For they shall lay hold on whatsoever men get or howsoever it be gotten by stealth robbery or by any legerdemaine will say to them give it unto us and we will pray for you so that labouring to cover other mens sinnes they shall quite forget their own And alas they shall receave any thing from rogues filchers Theeves Robbers that steale by the high way side Sacrilegious persons Vsurers Adulterers Hereticks Scismaticks Apostats whores and bawdes of Noblemen perjured Merchants corrupt Iudges Souldiers Tyrants or any that live contrary to Gods Laws Perverse and wicked men they shal be embracing the persuasion of the Divel the sweetnes of Sin a soft and delicate life and a certaine fullnes and abundance of all wordly things though it be to their own eternall damnation All these things shall manifestly appeare to be in them and they shall every day ware more more wicked and that with mindes more more obdurate But when as once their crafty conveiances shal be found out and all their other wickednes then shall their large gifts cease and they shall go from house to house like hungerbitten and madde dogges looking down uppon the earth and drawing in their neckes likes drones all to get their fill of bread Then shall the people pursue thē with this out-cry Wo be unto you miserable wretches that are ordained to sorrow the world hath deceaved you the Divel hath guided you with his raines hitherto your flesh is frail your heart is altogether without witt grace or wisdom your mindes are unstable and wavering and your eyes are blinded with much vanity and folly Your idle bellyes have lusted after delicate dishes of meat and your feete have been swift to wickednes Remember the time when you were in sight happy yet privily envyous poore abroad but rich at home covertous in shew but great flatterers in deed unfaithfull trecherous perverse backbiters holy hypocrits supplanters of the truth immoderately just proud unchast uncōstāt teachers

of the poore bringers in of new sects devised by your selves men that were counted mercifull but are found out to be wicked wretches lovers of the world conjurers dronckards ambitious patrones of wicked facts the pollers and pillers of the whole world unsatiable preachers that seeke to please men to deceave women sowers of discord of whom that famous Prophet Moses spake wisely in his Song A people without counsaile and understanding would to God they had knowledge understanding and could have foreseene their latter end Ye have built your nests on high indeed and when ye could rise up no higher ye fell down like as did Simon Magus whom God destroyed smote with a mighty plagne So shall you also be thrown

Iustine Martyr relates the custome observed amongst Idolaters by Christians in the consecration of Bread Wine and Water by the one which is to say by the Idolaters in the name of their Idols and by Christians in the Name of their True God And yet this first corruption in the administratiō of the holy Sacrament by the mixture of water with Wine persevered not without contradiction Inno. lib. 4. cap. ●●de officio Dissal For the Greekes were of a contrary opinion and that it was not requisite to brew water with Wine neither would they herein follow the Alexandrian corruptions Amarcanus was of the same opinion as Alexander affirming that the mixture of water with Wine was necessary Scotus the subtile Sophister absolutely denied that it was necessary to mingle the water with the Wine because saith he it cannot then be changed nor transubstantiated into Blond except the same were first changed into Wine Some others more ingenious laboured to interpret this Institution of Alexander by alleadging that the wine was cōverted into blood but as for the water it was transubstantiated into the water that came out of Christs side This first corruption of Alexanders gave occasion of many other succeeding abuses For some other more profound Impostors devised to mingle with the wine bloud that was taken from yong Infants wherewith to besmeare the bread of the holy Supper of Iesus Christ as the Cataphtigians August lib. d. H●cret ca. 26 64. who brought in a kinde of transubstantiation of wine into bloud really and corporally Some others added cheese thereunto Epiphan lib. 2. tom 5. haevet 49. called Artotirites which is to say Cheese-bread-mongers Certaine also abusing this holy Sacrament in stead of wine put in water under pretext of the greater abstinence Others had an Institution of steeping bread in the wine the which custome the Messalians also retained in their Missal sacrifices For another detestable corruption of this Sacrament some Popes of Rome forbade their Messalian sacrificers not to administer to Christian people whom they call Lay-men the Body of Iesus Christ in both kindes but onely under the sacred signe of Bread and not of Wine which they reserved for their Messalian sacrificing Priests Is not this corruption directly against the holy Gospel and Institution of the Supper of Iesus Christ ordained and commaunded that all faithfull men should eate his body drinke of his blood When he tooke the Cup did he not use these proper words Drinke all this Wine in memoriall of my Bloud shed Vsed hee any other words for the eating of his Bodie in the symbole of Bread then hee did of his Bloud under the signe of Wine Matth. 26. Marc. 14. Luc. 22. 1. Cor. 11. For if wee compare the sacred signe ordained by God in the Church of the Israelites being a Figure of the Communion of the body of Iesus Christ which was the true Paschal Lambe whose flesh was ordained to bee eaten without exception of persons so they were circumcised was there ever any difference in the eating of the Paschall Lambe and the celebration of the Passcover among the Iewes betweene the Levites being of the race of sacrificing Priests others of the common people To bring in another odious corruption the Messalians instituted in their Missal-Idolatries to sacrifice and offer the Body and Bloud of Iesus Christ reiterating by this means the sacrifice fully consummated by Iesus Christ which cannot bee reiterated because it was not according to the forme of Aaron but of Melchizedec the Eternall Sacrifizer and Priest 1. Cor. 11. without leaving any successor As also when the Apostle admonished the Corinthians to celebrate sacredly the Supper of Iesus Christ were they commanded to sacrifice No but to eate communicate together of the Body to drinke of the blood of Iesus Christ The beginning of the Supper was not to kill or immolate or to sacrifice any beast or oblation to God but onely to eate and drinke at his holy banquet prepared for us by Iesus Christ the Eternall sacrifice and sacrificer who reserved onely for himselfe this Eternall Priesthood yet neverthelesse hee left unto us a sacred Institution of a banquet set before us in the Bread Wine which represent his Body and Bloud After these above-named corruptions Satan a diligent Babylonian Architect employed all his power and means to rayse an inexpugnable Fort of Idolatry to the end that hee might wholly demolish and subvert the kingdome of Iesus Christ when hee undertooke to suborne the Masse in stead of the holy Sacrament of the Supper as wee will briefly produce and so clearely that the most hard-hearted Pharaohs inveterated in their ancient Idolatries shall by the trueth of Histories acknowledge their errours and abominable Heresies CHAP. IX The ancient Religion of the Romane Empire BEfore my deciphering of this labyrinth of Errour The Romane Emperors and their Priests wherein the Messalians did so loose themselves I thinke it verie requisite succinctly to lay open the ancient Religion of the Romanes during the reigne of the Occidentall Empire and of the Emperours usurping both the Temporall scepter the dignitie of high Priests superintendents over the Romane Church and Religion All of them as well as my selfe will confesse that the ancient Romane Religion was either wholly or for the greatest part instituted by Numa Pompilius the second King of the Romanes about seven hundred yeeres before the Incarnation of Iesus Christ Titivill lib. 1. deca 1.

Rom. there was one Pontifex Maximus who was chosen by the other inferiour Priests of their Order and dignitie even as the pettie Priest purple-Cardinals make the election of their great Romane Pope out of their place order and dignitie This Pompilian Relig on was so religiously observed by the Romanes from father to sonne as it was never possible to irradicate or supplant it but it continues even to this day as every one shall manifestly discerne by this succinct Narration To confirme this point no man can be ignorant if ever he read the Romane Histories but that before the Incarnation of Christ there was not so much as one King Confull Dictator or Romane Emperour instructed in the Law of God but all were Idolaters and Infidels observing the Religion of that Magician Numa Pompvius For since the Incarnation of Iesus Christ for the space
