Or The seasoning of soules Namely such, as for whom the chapmen here doe come, and whom the author, which taketh the name of a salter, is willing, what in him lieth, to season with the salt of the Word, leauing the successe to the Lord, without whose blessing in such works we can do nothing.

is in request with vs. Guid. I feare mee you are more carefull for shales then kirnels for that which feedeth your sences then that which feedeth your soules and more in loue with fables and Frierly fictions then with the doctrine of saluation Your teachers are no niggards of their old-wiues-fables I speake not now of crosses but of other matters Tract Can you shew vs any fable or fained story that is allowed of our Teachers if you can let vs heare it Guid. Maister Harding in his answere to B. Iewels chalenge to proue priuate Masse telleth this story out of Amphilochius which seemeth to me scarce currant The holy Bishops Basill besought God in his prayers he would giue him Grace Wisdome and vnderstanding so as hee might offer the sacrifice of Christs bloudshedding proprijs sermonibus with praiers and Seruice of his own making and that the better to atchieue that purpose the Holy Ghost might come vpon him After sixe dayes he was in a traunce for cause of the Holy Ghosts comming when the seuenth day was come he began to minister vnto God that is he sayd Masse euery day After a certaine time thus spent thorough faith and prayer he began to write with his own hand Mysteria Ministrationis the Masse or the seruice of the Masse Whome the heauē must contain c. Act. On a night our Lord came vnto him in a vision with the Apostles and layd bread to be consecrated on the Holy Altar and stirring vp Basil saide vnto him Secundum postulationē tuam repleatur os tuum laude c. According to thy request let thy mouth be filled with praise that with thine owne words thou maist offer vp to me Sacrifice He not able to abide the vision with his eyes rose vp with trembling and going to the holy Altar began to say that he had written in paper thus Repleatur os meum laude et hymn̄u dicat gloriae tuae Domine Deus creasti nos et adduxisti in vitam hanc et caeteras orationes sancti ministerij Let my month be filled with praise to vtter an himne to thy glory Lord God which hast created vs and brougt vs into this life and so foorth the other prayers of the Masse Et post finem orationum exaltauit panem sine intermissione orans et dicens Respice domine Iesu Christe c. After that he had don the prayers of consecration and lifted vp the bread praying continually and saying looke vpon vs Lord Iesus Christ out of thy holy Tabernacle and come to sanctifie vs that fittest aboue with thy Father and art here presently with vs invisible vouchsafe with thy mightie hand to deliuer to vs and by vs to all thy people Sancta Sanctis the holy things to the holy The people answered One holy one Lord Iesus Christ with the Holy Ghost amen After this Maister Harding goeth ou saying now let vs consider what followeth pertaining most to our purpose Et diuidens panem in tres partes vnam quidem cōmunicauit timore multo alteram autem reseruauit consepelire secum tertiam verò imposuit columbae aureae quae pependit super Altare He diuideth the bread into 3. parts of which he receiued one at his communion with great feare reuerence the other he reserued that it might be buried with him the 3. he caused to be put into a golden Pix that was hanging vp ouer the Altar made in forme and shape of a Doue Out of the same Amphilochian Story M. Harding setteth downe this also that one Eubolus and others the cheife of the Clergy standing before the gate of the Church whiles this was in doing saw lights within the Church men cloathed in white heard a voice of people glorifying God c. what say you to this dreame M. Tractable Tract Do you call it a dreame Verily Doctor Harding thought that this Story would make Ma. Iewell and his consacramenta ●es to stagger Guid. If you and others of your side would reade and in reading note well what that reuerend and learned Byshop hath answered to D. Harding you would leaue staggering and go more stedfastly in the paths of the Gospell Tract It may be if I come to Church I will reade some of his answers at leasure But I would see what you your selfe haue to say to this story if you remember not his answere Guid. In truth it is so long since I read that answere that I not hauing now that book remember not what he saith to it For mine owne part I maruaile if the Pope that liued in Saint Basils time were Christs Vicar and guided by his Spirit that he did not appoint such prayers and seruice to be vsed in the offering of that Sacrament so you call it as all men that tooke him for supreame head of the Church should be content with Tract No doubt but he did Guid. If he did so and S. Basill tooke him to be such a one as I said I wonder hee should not content himselfe with that forme of seruice which the Pope allowed but would offer with prayers of his owne making If the Holy Ghost had taught the Pope before what forme of prayer should be vsed what needed the Holy Ghost to be wisht for againe to teach S. Basil how to pray in that seruice Rom. Answere him cozen Tractable Tract Though hee misliked not the set prayers yet he was desirous to vse his own Guid. Why should he desire that if the prayers appointed were sound and sufficient or if the Holy Ghost did teach him to pray how can they be called prayers of his owne making Our Sauiour hath taught vs to pray Our Father which art in heauen c. Shall we call this a prayer of our owne making Rom. Answere him cozen sticke to him cozen Tract What a cozening kéepe you I will answere him when I see my time Though the Holy Ghost taught Saint Basil yet they might bee called his prayers because it is said hee wrote them with his owne hand Guid. The the Pater noster or Lords Prayer shall bee called Saint Matthews because hee wrote it with his owne hand for ought we know to the contrary Rom. Quicke cozen quicke Tract Your tongue is so quick in troubling me that it puts me out of my answere if you haue any thing else that you maruell at in this Story say on for I will stand no longer about this Guid. Sith it is called a vision a man might aske this question in what bodies our Sauiour and his Apostles appeared whether the Apostles in their own bodies I meane such as they had when they liued and were in Saint Basils time very dust or some other formes of bodies taken for that time or some like their owne though no resurrection of their owne Also what néed they bring bread with them to lay on the table as if S. Basil were vnprouided Moreouer if he knew Christ to be there with his Apostles
