it shal appeare at the day of iudgemeÌ„t as saynt Mathewe testifyeth sayinge Math. 24. Tunc parebit signum filii hominis in caelo Then at the day of dome the signe of the soÌ„ne of man shal appeare in the fyrmamente that is to saye the crosse of Christe sayeth Teophilactê° glisteryng and shynynge muche aboue the sunne to the reproche and condemnation of the Iewes Is coÌ„cernyng the worshyppyng of the crosse I haue alleged already saynte Damascenes wordes nowe wyl saint Hieroms Austens and Chrisostoms that therby men may se theyr blyndnes and errour whyche can not abyde that picture to be honoured of christen people seinge theyr fooly may forsake it in time ere it be to late Thys sayeth saynte Hierom vpoÌ„ these wordê of Dauid Adorate scabelluÌ„ peduÌ„ eiê° quo niam sanctuÌ„ est Honour the lowe Psal 9â— settle or fote stole of hys fete for as much as it is holy There are many opinioÌ„s of thys fote stole For some referre it vnto christes humanitie or manhode vpoÌ„ the whyche the godheades maiestie stode this humanitie the apostles dyd worshyppe Ad crucem dominicam et ad animaÌ„ sanctaÌ„ haec referenda sunt These wordes of saynte Dauyd muste be referred sayth Hierom to our lordes crosse and his holye soule And therfore after Hieroms mynde the holy goost by Dauids mouth coÌ„mauÌ„ded christen men womeÌ„ to honour the crosse though we very vngodlye do dishonoure it neuer so muche Saynt Austen sayeth Quid seruat fideli suo qui Tract in JoaÌ„ 36. taleÌ„ honorem dedit supplicio suo Denique modo in paenis reorum non est apud Romanos Vbi enim crux domini honorata est putatuÌ„ eÌ„ quod reus honoraretur That is to say What doth god reserue for hys faythful whych hath gyueÌ„ such honour to the crosse vpoÌ„ whych he suffrred death To conclude nowe the crosse is not amonge peynes of the gyltie at Rome For after the crosse of our lorde was honoured it was thoughte that the giltie was honoured Thys saynt Austen full godlye Lib. 6. aduersus Iulianum touched the honorynge of christes crosse Cirillê° also makinge answere to Iulian whych mocked christen people for worshypping the crosse sayed vnto hym after he had rehearsed the greate and sundrye benefites that came to vs by the crosse Haec oiÌ„a recordari nos facit salutare lignuÌ„ et suadet vt cogitemê° quod sicut dicit diuus Paulê° Vnus pro oiÌ„bus mortuus est et resurr exer it The holsome wood maketh vs remembre all these thinges and moueth vs to thynke that as s Paule sayeth one is deade for all and hathe rysen vp agayne Thys auncyent doctoure saynte Cyril wrote against the apostata IuliaÌ„ scornyng christen people for honouryng the crosse and not agaynst hym onely but agaynst al other in lyke maner derydynge mockyng men for the same worshippynge But of thys matter I mynde god wylling to entreate more largelye in a boke of worshyppyng ymages of the whych in thys boke I thoughte to saye nothynge at all therfore nowe I wil passe ouer it to the rehearsal of other the apostles vnwritten traditions of the whych the obseruyng of the sonday is one For though saynt Iohan in the Apocal. cap. 10. apocalypsis maketh mention of it yet there is no coÌ„mauÌ„demeÌ„t in The obseruyng of the sonday coÌ„meth by the apostles tradition the scripture to kepe the day holye day more then al other dayes of the weke Of this dayes honourynge before other spake saynte Damascene aboue a thousande yeres paste saying We do celebrate holy the perfect rest of mans nature I saye the daye of Chrystes lib. 4. ca. 24 Crip. hist cap. 9. resurrection The valeant and noble Emperoure constantyne made a lawe that vpon our lordes daye the sondaye all men shulde ceasse froÌ„ gyuyng iudgementes and from the doynge of other matters of the worlde Ambros ser 6. de peÌ„ tecoste dominica est venerabilis atque ColeÌ„nis quia eo die chritus resurrexit and to be occupied that day onely in prayer Honorabat autem diem dominicum qnia in eo Christê° resurrexisset a mortuis alium vero scz veneris quia in eo fuerit crucifix us That is to saye But the emperoure Constantyne honoured the lordes day sonday because Christe rose agayne vppon that daye from death to lyfe and he honoured the frydaye because christe on that was crucifyed Hytherto the storye Ignaiius saynte Iohans disciple wryteth of this holy daye saying Christ Epist 1. â— vpon the sondaye rose froÌ„ death to lyfe Pro sabati zatione celebret omnis christianus diem festum dominicâ— resurrectionem regalem et eminentissimum omnium
