better shift than impudently to say that either Greg. vvrote not so or he vvrote an vntruth to cheere vp his subiects Caluin lib. 4. cap. 7. § 12. saith that There is no vvord in all Greg. vvritings vvherein he more proudly boasteth of the largenes of his Primacie than this Furthermore S. Greg. lib. 7. epist 69. VVithout the authoritie and consent of the See Apostolick vvhat so euer is done in Councells hath no force And contrariwise lib. 7. epist 115. That reuerence is caried of the faithfull tovvarde the See Apostolick that vvhat is apointed by her decree shall not after be disturbed And the Archbishop of Rauema writing to him lib. 10. epist 36. saith The See of Rome sendeth her lavves to the Vniuersal Church And him selfe lib. 12. cap. vlt. The See of Rome doth looke ouer the vvhole vvorld and sendeth nevve constitutions vnto all And lib. 11. epist 56. writeth that the cause of a Bishop who had no Patriarch or Metrapolitan ouer him vvas to be iudged immediatly of the See Apostolick vvhich saith he is omnium Ecclesiarum caput head of all Churches Which proofe sheweth that he meaneth not head ship in excellency of gifts as Reinolds would Confer pag. 548. but in gouernment In like sort in psal 4. poenit he calleth Rome the head of all Churches and Lady of Nations which Title of the head of all Churches because Pope Boniface 3. who succeded S. Greg. within one yeare or two procured the Emperour Phocas to declare to appertaine to the Bishops of Rome he is accounted of all Protestants generally to be the first true Pope and Antichrist of Rome But if S. Greg. authoritie were not so great in the Church as Ministers are ashamed to account him an Antichrist they would as soone call him Pope and Antichrist as they do Pope Boniface because he auoucheth the same Title which Boniface did 3. Nether did S. Greg. onely claime this Supremacie but also practized it often tymes S. Greg. practizeth the supremacie For. lib. 2. Epist 14. He excommunicated the Archbishop of Salona in Dalmatia lib. 4. Epist 50. He deposed Anastasius Archb. of Corinth in Greece And Epist 15. made the Bishop of Prima Iustiniana his Legat and likwise the Bishop of Arles in France Epist 51. And. lib. 5. Epist 24. When there arose a controuersie betweene a Priest of Calcedon and the Patriarch of Cōstantinople according to the Canons saith he it fel to the See Apostolick and was ended by our iudgement And lib. 10. Epist 30. He maketh a Bishop sweare that he will In all things abide in the Communion of the Bishop of Rome And in Bed lib. 1. cap. 27. Taketh vpon him to commit all the Bishops and Priests of Britany to S. Austins charge and without asking the Prince his leaue apointed him to erect two Archbishoppriks and 24. Bishopricks Finally he tooke vpon him to depose kings and princes For lib. 11. Epist 10. He saith Siquis c. If any king Priest Iudge or seculer person knowing this constitution of ours shall attempt to break it Let him want al Dignitie of his povver and honor And lib. 12. cap. vlt. If any king Prelat Iudg or seculer person of vvhat Degree or highnes soeuer doe violat the priuiledgee of S. Medards Monasterie Let him be deposed And as Baron An. 600 writeth out of the Chronicles of Millan gaue the Bishop of that Cittie authoritie to chuse what king he woulde after the race of Lomburdian kings was ended Protestāts opinion of S. Gregorie about the supremacie For these speeches and acts of Greg. Doct. Reinolds Confer pag. 549 saith of him and of all the Popes for 300. yeares before him that they auouch more of their See than is true and right But now the question is not about right Reinolds but about S. Greg● opinion of Supremacie And pag 545. saith that S. Greg. is somewhat large that waye pag. 550. The primacie which Greg Leo and others giue to the See of Rome doth so exceed the truth that c. And pag 17. he saith that Leo the great who was Pope 130. yeares before Greg. cherished the egge of the Popes Supremacie And pag. 16. saith Leo made Peter a fellow head a partie Rock and half foundation with Christ Which saith he pag. 10. Leo did that he might rise vp with S. Peter And Doct. Whitak VVhitaker Fulke lib. de consil pag. 37. Leo was a great builder of the See of Antichrist Fulkin 2. Thessal 2. Leo and Greg. were great workers and futherers of the See of Antichrist and of the mystery of iniquity And ibid. he doubteth not to say that the mysterie of iniquitie did vvorke in the See of Rome in Peters tyme and did shew it self in Anicetus Victor Cornelius Sozimus Bonifacius Cel●stinus By which confes●ion of Protestant● a man of mean eyesight will easely see what S. Greg. and his Predecessors thought of the supremacie For if they were not of greater authoritie for their learning holines and antiquity they would haue bene as wel accounted Popes and Antichrists as their successors are In vvhat sense S. Gregorie impugned the Title of vniuersal Bishop 4. If any obiect that S. Greg. vehemently impugneth the Title of the vniuersal Bishop which the Patriarch of Constantinople in his time vsurped calling it proude sacrilegious and such like which he would neuer haue done if he had thought him selfe to haue bene head of all the Churches in the world I answer that S. Greg. could not doubt but that the Title of vniuersal Bishop might in some sense agree to the Pope Because the Councel of Calcedon which lib. 1. Epist 24. he professeth to reuerence as one of the fower Ghospells offered it to his Predecessors as him self testifieth lib. 4. Epist 32. Whervnto he addeth Epist 37. That his adduersarie the Patriarch of Constant knew wel that per Calcedonense Concilium huius Apostolica Sedis Antistites Vniuersales oblato honore vo●ati sunt And lib. 4. epist 36. saith that the Patriarch of Alexandria knew it also to be so Which he would neuer haue said vnles it had bene both certain and euident so as his Aduersaries could not deny it Wherto lib. 7. epist 30. he addeth that it was giuen to his Predecessors by Fathers after the Councel And in the said Councel VVhich as Reinolds saith Confer pag. 563. was a Company of 630. Bishops sound in Religion and zealous of the glorie of God although it hath bene falsified by the Gr●cians as witnesseth S. Greg. lib. 5. epist 14. yet thrise is Pope Leo called Vniuersal Patriarch without the gain saying of any one Which so many and so zealous would neuer haue permitted if it had bene altogether vnlawful And the same Reinolds confer pag. 562. professeth that the said Councel named Pope Leo their head And pag. 561. That he was President of the Councel S. Beda calleth S. Gregorie ouer the vvhole vvorld And of Bed lib. 2. cap. 1. S.

Greg. is called high Bishop ouer the whole vvorld Besids that Popes were before that time called Bishops of the Vniuersal Church as it is to be seene in Pope Leo Epist 54. 62. 65. Sixtus 1. epist 2. Victor epist 1. Pontianus and Stephanus epist 2. Which in sense is all one with Vniuersal Bishop if this Title be taken in the proper sense vvhy the Patriarch of Constant vnlavvfully tooke the title of vniuersal Bishop But S. Greg. condemned it in the Patriarch of Constant both bec●use it could no waye pertain to him in the proper sense for that he was not head of all the Church and also because he claimed it in such a sense as is vtterly vnlawful both to the Pope and to any Bishop els and is in deede sacrilegious For as S. Gregorie witnesseth lib. 4. epist 34. 36 38. lib. 5. epist 60. lib. 6. epist 31. 37. and lib. 7. epist 29. and 30. He would be called Vniuersal Bishop in such sort as his brethren being despised he alone might be called Bishop or that he might seeme to haue denyed his brethren to be Bishops That is so as if him self alone were the onely true and proper Bishop and others but his Deputies or Vicegerents and not so formal nor true Bishops as he In which sense that Title is truly sacrilegious as robbing all other Bishops of their Episcopal Dignitie S. Gregorie for Masse 5. And for the second point of Masse S. Greg. him self saith lib. 7. epist 29. thus VVee do the solemnitie of the Masse euery day in honor of them Martyrs Sutclif in his Answer to the Catholick supplication denieth these words to be in the place cited Which who will seeke shall take a taste of his impudencie Doct. Reinolds in his Confer pag. 532. Iuel art 1. diui 31. And art 3. diuis 21. and others saye that S. Greg. Masse was a Communion because in the Canon therof are these words vvho so euer shal receaue of this participation of the Altar the holy body and blood of thy sonne But so they might prooue that our Masse were no true Masse because the sayd wordes are in the Canon therof And they proue no more than that the Church prayeth for all such as shall communicat at masse and there shall receaue not bare bread and wine but the body and blood of Christ That S. Greg masse vvas no Protestant Communion For to say that S. Greg. masse was a Protestantish Communion of very material bread and wine as Iuel speaketh Art 8. Diui. 2. were great impudency First because in S. Greg. Massse is the Canō of our Masse in which the substance of our Masse consisteth And therfore his masse can be no more a Protestant Communion than ours And besides in the same booke of S. Greg is the very forme wherwith our Priests are made to say our Masse vz Take power to offer Sacrifice and to say Masse as wel for the liuing as for the dead Secondly Saint Greg. Masse was a true sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ as appeareth by these his words lib. 4. Dialag which book Bale cent 1. cap. 68. confess●th to be his cap. 58. VVe must sacrifice the daylie hosts of his Christs flesh and blood The hoste sacrificed at Masse saueth the soul according to S. Greg. for this holsome sacrificie doth saue the soule from euerlasting death which mystically representeth to vs that death of the onely sonne who albeit rising from death now dyeth not and death hath now no more power ouer him yet he liuing in him selfe immortally and incorruptibly is sacrificed for vs in this mysterie of the holy Oblation Christ sacrificed at masse vvithout dying For his body is there receaued his flesh is deuided for the saluation of his people His blood is not powred now into the hands of the Infidells but into the mouth of the faithful Christs blood povvred into the mouths of the faithful Loe how he professeth that we daylie sacrifice Christs body and blood and that this daylie sacrifice saueth the soule from eternal death and that though Christ be not killed therby yet is he sacrificed and his flesh and blood distributed to the people when they communicat at Masse which is the verie doctrin which we teach S. Greg. beleued Transubstātiation Again in S. Gregories Masse Transubstantiation was beleeued as appeareth by these wordes of Doct. Humfrey Iesuit part 2. rat 5. pag. 626. 627. Gregorie and Austin brought in Oblation of the holy host Transubstantiation c. How then could his Masse be a Protestant Communion Morouer in the Masse which his scholler S. Austin taught our Forfathers The mystery of the flesh and pretious blood saith Beda lib. 5. cap. 22. of the immaculat lamb is offered to God the Father in hope of redemption And S. Greg. lib. de Sacram. ante Canonem calleth the host of his masse the holesome host of the whole world the vital host The hoste of Masse a vital hoste expelling sinnes which expelleth all sinnes and causeth warines to auoid them for euer Is this likly to be very material bread And again l. cit Dial. cap. 57. he telleth vs that while one was captiue amongst enemies Masse louseth the bonds of a captiue his wife got sacrifice certain dayes to be offered for him who longe tyme after returning to his wife tould her what dayes his bonds were loosed which she knew to be the dayes when she got sacrifice offered for him Masse saueth from drovvning as manie faithful vvitnesses testifie Ibid. VVhen a Bishop saith S. Greg. offered the Sacrifice of the holesome hoste for the soule of him whome he thought was drowned he was saued from drowning as many saith he faithful and religious men haue witnessed to me and doe witnesse S. Greg. apointed 30 Masses to be said for one dead And cap. 55. he telleth of two deliuered out of the paines of Purgatorie by his Masse wherof 30. Masses were sayde for one of them by his owne apointment Thirdly S. Greg. Masse was said in honor of Martyrs as is alredy shewed and offered for the dead as is euident and Reinolds loc cit confesseth but so is not their communion Fourthly Ba● cent 1. cap. 68. saith that Greg. ordered the ceremonies of the Masse and made vp the Canon therof And Ibib. telleth what parts he added to the Masse Again Kemnit in Examen pag. 826. 827. confesseth Masse as it is now to haue bene finished in S. Greg. time But now it is far different from Protestants communion And it is euident that nothing since his tyme is added to the Canon which includeth the substance of the Masse Finally Fox Acts pag. 130. saith that about the yeare 780. Pope Adrian ratified and confirmed the order of S. Greg. Masse At what tyme saith he this vsuall Masse of the Papists began to be vniuersal and vniforme and generally receaued in all Churches Loe he confesseth that our vsual Masse came
