from death to life and that hee shall not enter into condemnation Did he send vs to Rome or any other place Doth he not say if wee cate his fleshe and drinke his bloud which he had preposed before in these termes if we come to him and if we beleeue in him he dwelleth in vs and wee in him Can there be any charity to expose so many persons to infinite paines trauailes and daungers to put them in great charges to leaue their houses and vocations to goe a long iourney to seeke that which they may haue at home at their own dores if they haue a true faith working by charity But I pray you doth not the holy Father and his supports shew a manifest contradiction in their opinions and by consequent what spirit of error lying speaketh by their mouths and not the spirit of truth They proclaime with hewe and crye that in their Masse the Sacramentall wordes being pronounced the substance of bread is transubstantiated into the body of Christ and the wine into the bloud Now Iesus Christ ordaining the holy Supper would there by assure vs that if wee communicate worthily and examine our owne consciences we communicate his body which was deliuered for vs and his bloud which was shed for the remission of our sins To be short wee are participants of the efficacy vertue of his death and passion If then it be so that Iesus Christ very God and very man is there as they pretend yea in corporall presence Is it not a great folly and indiscretion to goe so far to seeke that which they may haue among themselues Wherefore should Iesus Christ present himselfe there vnto vs and should not haue so much power in his corporall presence as men are made beleeue that the bones sepulchers Temples and Images of S. Peter and S. Paul haue Is it not to make lesse account without comparison of the Master then of the seruaunts Yea is it not a despising of the Lord who is alwaies liuing to adore and worship the putrified carkasses of his seruantes If then it bee true that they are his seruants who will deny it to be a manifest blasphemy Wherefore all these goodly exhortations by the Pope made both to the Prelates and to Kings and Princes are like to Suger and other Spices wherewith he seeketh to sweeten his venomous drinke thereby the easier to impoyson all the world We must not stay nor attend the 100. yeare of the Romaine Iubile to amend our liues correct our vices to dispose our selues to doe good and to be intentiue to the word of God to read the holy Scriptures to exercise charity to giue honor to whome honor belongeth and tribute to those that ought to haue tribute and to pray to God one for an other and namely for Kings Princes and such as are in authority Such holy exercises are necessary for all the faithfull and at all times and seasons And also such as are called to feede the Lords flocke ought not to attend vntil that time to teach and instruct the people committed to their charge Act. 20. but they are alwaies to doe it as S. Paul writeth to the Bishop of Ephes yea in time and out of time according to the instruction by him giuen to his Disciple Timothy For that following their Masters example they must trauel in his Vineyard the 12. houres in the day without staying till euening comes Wherfore you my maisters of the church of Rome if you desire to be participants of saluation harken rather to the voyce of the great Pastor of al Pastors our only Sauiour redeemet Iesus christ Math. 11. who so sweetly inuiteth you vnto his word Come vnto me all you that are laden and I will comfort you Also If any man haue thirst let him come vnto mee and I will refresh him Ioh. 7. Then vnto these false Prophets which make you runne from place to place binding your consciences cause you to doubt of your saluation And the better to empty your purses set before your eyes a fire of purgatory wherein after you haue bin tormented in this world by fastings abstinences pilgrimages and other corporall exercises you must as they make you beleeue passe through and therein remaine to be as it were new boyled and refined before you enter into Paradice But the Sonne of God maketh one selfe same promise vnto all those who by a true faith shall seeke their saluation in him as he did vnto the poore theefe when hee said vnto him this day shalt thou be with me in Paradice that is to say if we commit our soules into his hands he will receiue them and place them in ease and rest attending the moste happy resurrection by meanes whereof he will leade vs all both in body and soule into his Paradice which is the heritage prepared for vs before the foundation of the world This great eternall and vniuersall Iubile whereunto God calleth and summoneth vs euery day hath bin written by the precious bloud and signed by the death and passion of our Lord Iesus Christ the eternall Sonne of the eternall God our great King and onely soueraigne Sanctifier Vnder written by the holy Apostle that Preached and declared it vnto all the world to be indifferently receiued and celebrated in all places where the name of God is called vpon and sealed with two great seales of his Maiesty Baptisme and the holy Supper Ga. 1. Whosoeuer Preacheth any other Gospel let him be accursed 1. Cor. 16. If there be any man that loueth not the Lord Iesus Christ let him be accursed Maranatha FINIS
