Tim. 1.6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir vp the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands Loe how playne the holy Scripture is against them But they reply that laying on of hands is not needfull to them who haue already in them the spirit of God and inward annointing of the holy Ghost To which very question Theodoret maketh answere that God commanded Moyses Numb 27. to lay his hands vpon Iosue wheras by the testimony of God himselfe Iosue had already in him the spirit of God S. Paul althogh he were called immediatly from heauen yet was afterward sent with laying on of hands Acts 13.3 Heb. 5.4 And no man taketh this honour vnto himselfe but he that is called of God as was Aaron Heere our Aduersaries reply agayne that Aaron had no externall vocation But this is easily solued for Aaron was the first of his Order and therefore could not haue his calling by succession and whose case is farre vnlike to our Reformers vnles they will confesse also that they are the first or their order wherein they shall be easily belieued See more Act. 13.2 Tim. 1.6.1 Tim. 5.22.2 Tim. 1.8 Nūb. 27.23 ¶ See also the Fathers S.

Tim. 5.11.12 But the younger widdowes refuse for when they haue begun to wax wanton against Christ they will marry hauing damnation because they haue cast off their first fayth All the auncient Fathers that write vpon this place expound these words of the Apostle of the vow of Chastity or of the faith and promise made to Christ to liue continently as is abundantly proued in the Rhemes Testament vpon this place 1.

XLV That fasting and abstinence from certaine meates is not grounded on holy Scripture nor causeth any spirituall good COntrary to the expresse wordes of their owne Bible Ierem 35.5 And I set before the sonnes of the house of the Rechabits pots full of wine and wine-cups and I said vnto them drinke yee wine But they said we will drinke no wine for Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our Father commanded vs saying Yee shall drinke no wine neither yee nor your sonnes for euer Thus haue we obeyed Ionadab our Father in all that he hath charged vs. Therfore fasting is grounded in holy scripture Luc. 1.15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drinke neither wine nor stronge drinke Loe abstinence not only foretould but also prescribed by the Angell which plainly proueth that it was both a worthy thing and also an act of Religion in S. Iohn Baptist as it was in the Nazarites and Rechabits afore-mentioned Actes 13.3 And when they had fasted and prayed and laid their handes on them they sent them away Hence the Church of God hath sufficient ground and warrant for the vsing and prescribing of publique fastes which was not fasting from sinne as our Reformers forsooth pretend for such fasting they were euer bound to keep and that at such times or seasons as the Church pleased to prescribe as in Lent or the like and not when euery man lists or the toy takes him in the head as Aerius and other Hereticks did teach testified
Priuate which euery man sayes by himselfe alone The other Publique which the Priest sayth in the name and person of the whole Church As concerning priuate prayer no Catholique denies but it is very expedient that euery man pray in his owne tongue to the end he may vnderstand what he sayes But for the Publike praiers of the Church it is not necessary that the common people vnderstand them because it is not they who pray but the Priest in the name of the whole Church For as it was inough for the people of the old Law to know and vnderstand that in such a Sacrifice consisted the worship of God although they had not so cleare an vnderstanding of euery thing that was done therein as hath bene said euen so in the new Law when the people assist at the sacrifice of the Masse acknowledging thereby that God is worshipped and that it is instituted for the remembrāce of Christs death and passion although they vnderstand not the Latin tongue yet are they not destitute of the vtiltty and fruit therof besides the help of the Godly Ceremonies therein which do instruct them in the whole And indeed this place by them alledged serueth nothing to the purpose but rather agaynst them seeing it proues that the common seruice of the Church was not then in a tongue which euery man vnderstood but in another language which was not so common vnto all For S. Paul saying How shall he that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned say Amen at the giuing of thanks seeing be vnderstandeth not what thou sayest shewes that such giuing of thankes was not accustomed to be made in the vulgar tongue and requires or rather supposes that in the seruice of the church there should be some other to supply the place of the vnlearned that is one that should haue further vnderstanding of that tongue in which the seruice of the Church is said But had the Seruice bene in the vulgar tongue there needed no man to haue supplied the place of the Idior that vnderstandeth not So that S. Paul shewes most clearly that such seruice was not exercised in a vulgar tongue but in another which was not common to the whole people such as the Latin tongue is now in England as also throughout the whole East and yet was not in the contrary extreme that is to say wholy strange or vtterly barbarous And seeing our Aduersaires haue this place continually in their mouthes and thereby deceyue the simple people I would haue them to know that this text of S. Paul is greatly peruerted by the Reformers themselues For whereas the Greeke and Latin text hath He who supplies the place of an Idiot how shall he say Amen the Ministers of Geneua in many of their Bibles haue turned the same most deceitfully and maliciously thus He that is an idiot how shall he say Amen As if there were no differēce betwixt an Idiot he who supplyes the place of an Idiot Moreouer the thankesgiuing to which S. Paul sayth Amen should be answered is not at all practised in many of our Reformed Churches where neyther Idiots nor those that supply the place of Idiots do answere Amen as S. Paul willeth seeing they haue altered Amen into So be it which is plainly repugnant to his meaning as also to the practice of the whole Church For they can not say for their excuse that S. Paul wrote to those who spake in the Hebrue tongue for Amen is Hebrue since he wrote to the Corinthians who had their publike seruice in Greek and not in Hebrue A mayne argument that the word Amen ought to be retayned in all languages as it hitherto hath euer been amongst all Christians before the dayes of our Reformers in so much that the most learned S. Augustin writeth that it is not lawfull to turne Amen into any other vulgar language without the scandall of the whole Church Aug. epist 118. 2. de Doct. c. 20. To conclude I cannot but much meruaile at the simplicity of the common people who notwithstanding the great light of their reformed Ghospell see not the loosenesse and vanity of this their Leaders cauill For neyther the maysters or schollers are so senselesse I hope as to say that their own seruice consisting partly of the Psalmes of Dauid the hardest part of all the Bible and partly of lessons taken out of the old and new Testament is vnderstood of all the people present thereat since the greatest Diuines that euer were durst neuer say so much of themselues How wrongfully then do they wrangle with vs about this matter But perhaps they will say that thogh the simple people vnderstand not the hard places contayned in the psalmes and Seruice yet to their great comfort they vnderstand at least some part thereof euen so say we of our Masse and of our simple people who assist therat And so conclude as I began in the title of this Booke By thyne owne mouth I iudge thee naughty seruant A TABLE OF THE CONTROVERSIES handed in this Booke 1.
