words Neuerthelesse when the deede was done Martin the fift dispensed with one who had consummated marriage with his own● naturall Sister Angelus de Clau●sio a religious Franciscan fryer Vicar generall of the Cismontim Minor hath these words Wherevppon my L. Archbishop of Florence affirmeth that hee heard men of good credit say that Pope Martin the fift after hee had consulted with many learned Diuines and Canonists dispensed with one who had married his owne naturall sisters Card 〈◊〉 faith Barthol Fumus affirmeth roundly that the Pope can dispence in all the degrees of consanguinitie and affinity saue onely with the Father and his daughter and with the mother and her sonne Martinus Nauarrus a famous popish writer desendeth the opinion of Caietan greatly Yea Caietane himselfe in his Commentary vpon Leuiticus which he dedicated to Pope Clement with the Popes good liking and gratefull acceptance singeth the selfe lame song This doctrine was neuer heard of for the space of 1418. yeeres At which time the Pope brought it from hell Ergo such popish dispensation is nothing els but a rotten ragge of the New Religion CHAP. 15. Of worshipping of Images THe worshipping of Images is this day high●●e esteemed in the Romish church insomuch that the Priestes themselues on Good-Friday are inioyned to salute the Crosse three seuerall times and that both kneeling and with their shooes put off Yea adoration and worshipping of Images and Reliques is this day growne to such excessiue superstition as it is almost incredible to be told Yet Gregory the great in his time sharply reproued the worship done to Images albeit he disliked Serenus the good Bishop of Mas●l●ae for breaking the same in the Church Yea Gabriell Bieto a religious popish Frier and a very learned Schoole-Doctor who liued long after Gregory and Serenus euen one thousand foure hundred eighty and foure yeeres after Christ doth sharply inveigh and reproue the worship done to Images Ergo the worshipping of Images is but a rotten ragge of the New Religion CHAP. 16. Of Church-seruice in the vulgar tongue SAint Iustine S. Ambrose S. Augustine S. Chrysostome S. Cyprian S. Hierom S. Gregory Sozomenus Lyra and many others as I haue prooued in my Suruey at large doe aftirme constantly vniformly that the people in their dayes were not as owles parrets crowes pyes and other birds which were taught to sound they knewe not what but as godly Christians who both knew what the Minister said and made answer to the same Whosoeuer readeth my Suruey of popery cannot stand in doubt hereof Sozomenus sheweth plainely in his Ecclesiasticall H●story that in his time which was 400. yeres after Christ the people and the Ministers of the Church sang psalmes together in the church I therefore cannot but conclude that to celebrate Diuine seruice in an vnknowne tongue is a rotten ragge of the New Religion CHAP. 17. Of the antiquity of popish Masse and the parts thereof THe Canon of the Masse which the late Papists haue in great esteeme rare admiration is both vncertaine variable of young yeres S. Gregory telleth vs that one Scolasticus composed it Platina a famous Papist and Abbreuiator Apostolicall sheweth plainly and cōpendiously both at what time and by whom euery peece of popish Masse began Peter saith Platina vsed only the Lords prayer when he celebrated the holy Mistery Iames the Byshop of Ierusalem increased the holy Mistery Basilius likewise added to them and so did others For Celestine the Byshop of Rome added the Introite Gregory the Kyrie Eleyson Telesphorus glortain excelsis Deo Gelasius the Collectes Hieronimus the Epistle and Gospell Hallelu-ia was borrowed of the Church of Ierusalem the Creed was receiued of the Nicene Counsell Pelagius inuented the commemoration of the dead Leo the the thirde Incense Inuocentius the firste the Pax and Pope Sergius the Agnus dei This beeing so I cannot but conclude that euerie patch and p●ece of the Romish Masse is but a rotten ragge of the New Religion CHAP. 18. Of the profound Misteries of Popish Masse POpe Sergius is the Author of Christs threefold body the body of our Lorde saith Sergius is threefolde the part that is put into the Chalice signifieth Christs body risen againe the part eaten Christ yet walking on earth the part remaining to the end of the Masse Christs body in the graue And that the Reader may the better know the mutability of Popish Masse I giue him to vnderstand that this practise of reseruing one part to the end of the masse is at this day wholy changed for the Priest eateth vp aleuen in the church of Rome O wonderful Nouelties in the disholy popish Masse which for al that are as old as Pope Sergius his nose Ergo popish foolish Misteries are but rotten rags of the New Religion CHAP. 19. Of kissing the Popes feete IVstinianus the Emperor after hee had sent for the Pope Constantinus to come to him at Nicomedia receyued him very honorably and sent him back But first of a certaine fondly conceiued humility hee fell downe and kissed the Popes feet This Emperour reigned about 700. yeares after Christ heere first began the kissing of the Popes feet which kissing as it was then done by the Emperor vpon a fond zeale so is it this day continued with intollerable superstition Ergo it is but a rotten rag of the new religion CHAP. 20. Of praying vpon Beads AFter that the people of God had liued aboue a thousand yeares vsing altogether godly books of prayer one Peter an Eremit a French-man borne perceiuing the Nature of men to bee so desirous of Nouelties was the first that inuented praying vpon Beads From hence sprang their Rosaries their Corones their Lady Psalters and a thousand superstitious kinds of Prayers whereof the rehearsal of the Originall is a sufficient confutation Ergo to pray on Beads is but a rotten ragge of the New Religion CHAP. 21. Of changing the Popes Name POpe Sergius the second being some-what ashamed of his auncient name because it sounded not pleasantly in mens eares for he was called Os Porei Swines mouth or Hogs-snoute If ye will he changed his old name and termed himselfe Sergius He liued aboue 840. yeeres after Christ from which time it hath beene the manner of Popes or Byshops or Rome to change their names so soone as they aspired to the Popedome What a pride is this For the Popish Byshops of Rome to change their names which they had giuen in their Baptisme No maruell if they be ashamed of Christs religion Well I must per●orce conclude Ergo the changing of the Popes name is but arotten ragge of the New Religion CHAP. 22 Of the Paschall Torch THe Papistes vse vpon East●r-Eue to hallow a Torch or Taper of Wax which they call Caerea Pasch. lis into which they instill and sasten Crosle-wise fiue of their hallowed greines To this

therefore seeing the holy councell of Chalcedon acknowledged the authoritie of the Bishop of Constantinople to be equall with the Bishoppe of Rome Secondly seeing Celestine the Bishop of Rome could alledge neither Scripture councell Father or reason for his pretended Primacie but one onely false allegation out of the councell of Nice Thirdly seeing the Fathers of the Affrican councell contradicted and reproued the Pope for his forgery of the Nicene councell concerning Appiarius Fourthly seeing S. Polycarpus S. Policrates S. Iraeneus and S. Cyprian with many Bishops of Europe Asia and Affrica contemned the Bishoppe of Rome his Decrees his supposed Supremacie I cannot but conclude with this inevitable illation Ergo the late pretended Soueraigntie of the Pope is but a rotten ragge of the new Religion as which was neuer heard of in Christ his church for the space of sixe hundred yeres and odde Al● this is proued at large in my Suruey of Popery CHAP. 3. Of the mariage of Priestes and Ministers of the Church MArriage was lawfull for all Priestes in the old Testament For the Prophet Ieremie was the sonne of Helkiah who was one of the Priests at Anathoth Hophni and Phinehas were the sonnes of Eli the Priest Sephora was the daughter of Iethro who was the Priest of Midian Saint Iohn the Baptist that holy precurser of our Lord Iesus was a priests sonne euen the sonne of Zacharias Yea the marriage of Priestes was then so deere in Gods sight that the High-priest was forbidden to marry not simply and absolutely but to marry a Widdow a diuorced or polluted woman and hee was charged to take a Maid of his owne people In the New Testament no prohibition can be found as which is consonant to the Old pronouncing Marriage honorable in all and a bedde vndefiled Marriage as the Apostle teacheth vs was ordayned for a remedy against fornication to be vsed of all such as find themselues grieued with that disease consequently seeing that disease is as well incident to persons Ecclesiasticall as to persons secular and oftentimes more the Medicine is as necessary and as lawfull for the one sort as it is for the other For this respect did holy Paphnutius stand vp in the Councell of Nice at such time as the Fathers then and there assembled thought to haue seuered married Priests and Bishops from their wiues and told them according to Gods word that to forbid mariage to priests was too seuere a Law Hee yeelded this reason because marriage is so honourable in all sorts of men Thus writeth Cassiodorus thus writeth Socrates thus writeth Sozomenus For this respect was it that the Bishops Priestes and Deacons of the East-Church would neuer admit or receiue the Canons of the West and Romish Church For this respect was it that Priestes were euer maried in the East Churches vntill these our dayes and in the West Church generally for the space of three hundred eightie and fiue yeeres at which time Pope Siritius excited by satan prohibited Priestes marriage as an vnlawfull thing Yea Priestes continued still married in Germanie for the space of 1074. yeeres vntill the dayes of the vngracious Pope Hildebrand who termed himselfe Gregorie the seauenth so soone as hee had crept into the Popedome by naughty meanes For this respect was it that the famous Popish Cardinall Panormitanus committed to print to the view of the vvhole World that Priestes marriage was neither of the substance of their Order nor forbidden by Gods Lawe and that therefore it were for the saluation of soules that all such as would might marry Hee addeth the reason Because experience saith hee teacheth vs that the Priests debarred frō marriage liue not spiritually but are polluted in vnlawfull copulation though they might liue chastly with their owne wiues For this respect was it that the great Papist Polydorus could not containe himselfe but pittifully exclaime against the wicked prohibition of Priests mariage affirming stoutly and resolutely that the compelled chastitie of vnmarried Priestes was so far from excelling chastitie in wedlocke as no crime whatsoeuer hath brought greater shame to Priesthood more harme to Religion or more griefe to all good men then the vnchast life of Priests For this respect was it that Pope Pius the second of that name who before his Popedome was named Aeneus Syluius a very learned man famous Writer after he had reproued many vices in the Romish Church concluded very grauely that though there had beene great reason to debarre Priestes from marriage yet was there greater reason to restore marriage againe vnto them For this respect was it that many holy and learned Bishops were married men in the auncient time and florishing state of the Church viz. S. Gregory Saint Clement S. Spiridian S. Chereman S. Philogonius S. Eupsichus and others First therefore seeing Priestes marriage is approued both by the Old and New Testament Secondly seeing all Priests were alwayes married or at the least might haue married in the East Church Thirdly seeing Priestes marriage was holden for lawfull in the famous Councell of Nice and that the holy Bishoppe Paphnutius a man full of miracles in his life time did pronounce openly in the same Councell that the coniugall acts of married Priestes was true chastitie whose sentence was approued of the whole Councell and therevppon the matter was left as indifferent for euery Priest eyther to marry or not to marry at his owne choyce Fourthly seeing priestes marriage was euer holden lawfull and Christian for the space of three hundred eighty fiue yeeres euen vntill the time of the vntimely birth of Siritius then the Bishop or Pope of Rome and in the great country of Germany for the space of 1074. yeeres euen vntill the dayes of wicked Pope Hildebrand whom at that day the whole Clergie of Germany accused of flat heresie for that his most damnable Decree or Constitution against the honest and lawfull marriage of Priestes Fifily seeing the famous popish Abbot and Bishop and Cardinall Panormitanus for he was all the three and seeing withall that the great learned Papist Polydore Virgill did bitterly and pittifully exclaime against the vngodly and vnchristian prohibition of Priestes marriage crying out that it was the destruction of many soules and seeing also that Pope Pius the second cōfessed freely that it was time to restore marriage to their Popish priests again and to suffer thē to liue as they had done in old time all which and much more for the lawfull and honest defence of the marriage of all Bishops Priests Ministers of the Church the indifferent Reader shall finde pithily and copiously prooued in my Suruey of Popery I cannot but perforce I must conclude vvith this ineuitable illation Ergo the prohibition of the marriage of Priests is a rotten ragge of the New Religion CHAP. 4. Of the Popish execrable Pardons THE famous Popish Writer Syluester for his great learning surnamed by the
