breaking downe an infinite number of Idols and Images as very manfully in Gods cause hee did in the Cittie of Bethell According as himselfe writeth in an Epistle to Iohn Bishop of Ierusalem his words are these And when I entred to pray I found there a sayle or great cloth hanging at the doore figured and painted hauing an Image as of Iesus Christ or some other Saint for I could not bethinke me well whose Image it should bee But when I beheld in the Church of Iesus Christ an Image of a man hanging against the authoritie of the sacred Scriptures Trent it in pieces and gaue councell to the keepers of the place rather to bestow the same cloth on some poore dead body for buriall then to let it so offend the consciences of any What now can your pontificall high Priest of Rome alleadge against so many excellent persons as flourished in those dayes in the Church of God S. Augustine did not forbeare to affirme it constantly that it was an execrable herefie to giue any honour to the Images of Iesus Christ or of the Saints For as hee himselfe sayth In looking vppon Images no man can pray or worshippe as hee ought to doe but hee will bee touched as if his thoughts were carryed thence where his hope is to bee heard and his sute granted All these things beeing duely and religiously considered to the ouerture of your Romane Priests pride wee doe and will conclude with the whole Church of God That according to his commaÌ„dement we ought to honour and worship him in spirit and trueth and not by any inuented visible things commanded without authoritie of his holy word the which wee know and beleeue shall remaine for euer And wee hope shortly to see that thereby the great man of sinne shall be smitten and ouerthrowne euen hee that exalteth himself against God in his Temple Which wee humbly desire for the honour and great glory of his name to the end it may be sanctified and his Kingdome come that so all men on earth may learne the way to life euerlasting which is by knowing and confessing one onely God and him whom hee hath sent his onely Sonne Iesus Christ our Lorde and Sauiour And concerning that false couerture alleadged by our aduersaries that Christ reuealed not all things needfull for our saluation to his Apostles This was true before they had receiued the sanctified Spirit on the day of Pentecost But after they were filled with the holy Ghost and instructed of him the promise of Iesus Christ was accomplished that the holy Spirite should reueale vnto them whatsoeuer hee had sayd and should leade them into all trueth This being done and accomplished they wrote the word of God and haue left the same vnto vs cleane holy and pure sufficient to guide and direct vs to euerlasting life We are not bound then to heare any other but the Apostles For all men else whatsoeuer bee they holy wise or very Angels of heauen they may not declare or command vs any other Gospell but that which is diuinely written in the authenticall Bookes of the holy Prophets and Apostles And no man how wise or learned soeuer he be hath any authoritie after the Apostles as Saint Hierome saith Moreouer albeit wee should bee vniustly reprooued persecuted condemned yea and murdered of men in the quarrell of God yet notwithstanding hauing our onely hope in him who hath called vs to that honour We are to reioyce and be glad when wee are persecuted and hated for his Names sake Not doubting but in his good time and when hee pleaseth his strong and powerfull arme shall free and deliuer vs from all seruitude of our aduersaries As alwayes hitherto hee hath done in fulfilling his promise to his holy Prophets and Apostles Therefore to that euerliuing Lord God bee giuen all honour and glory praise and power world without end Amen Si hoc consilium out opus ex hominibus est dissoluentur Si vero ex Deo est non poteritis dissoluere If this counsell or this worke be of men it will come to nought But if it be of God you cannot destroy it The Pope and his Church Now we haue good and great occasion to render thankes to God who hath made vs victorious ouer our aduersaries whom we doe excommunicate and curse as pernitious and damnable Heretiques because they will not be obedient to our holy ordinances but doe fondly cleaue to and stand vpon the Gospels and the doctrine of the Apostles who are not able to be vnderstood of any man without our holy Glosses and expositions For the rest let vs not forget to speake somewhat in the behalfe of our holy Masse That looke how much our hereticall aduersaries doe labour to confound and ouerthrowit So much the more powerfully will we striue to defend and maintaine it euen vnto blood and death For which cause we haue commanded to publish abroad the great graces vertues and properties of the most holy Masse According to the testimonie of that reuerende man Master Iaques of Spaine solemne Doctour in diuinitie The Copie whereof we will haue exhibited and giuen to euery one that shall continually haue good deuotion to the most holy Masse and shall liue and die in the true faith thereof Amen M. IAQVES OF SPAINE A Copie containing the great graces vertues and properties of the most holy Masse which being well contemplated and considered on are more worthie to be esteemed then an vnualuable treasure MAster Iaques of Spaine solemne doctor in Diuinitie recounteth in his workes that Saint Augustine and other Doctors doe hold this conclusion That if he which heareth Masse deuoutly hath either bought or taken money for so much land as may be walked on during the time a Masse is saying and shall giue that money to the poore yet hee shall not merit so much thereby as by his deuout hearing of that Masse Secondly he that as this day heareth Masse deuoutly and hopeth to heare another to morrow with the same deuotion looke what sinnes hee committeth betweene those two Masses are pardoned him by true confession which our Lord will graunt him before his death Thirdly after a man hath heard Masse his feeding yeeldeth the greater benefit to his bodie nor can he want ought all that whole day but shall be filled with all things needfull to nature Fourthly All veniall sinnes newly committed and false oathes sworne in haste or thorow ignorance hauing a purpose to confesse them they are blotted quite out by the merit of hearing a Masse deuoutly Fiftly euery pace or steppe a man takes in going to heare a Masse are counted and numbred by his good Angell to be rewarded before God Saint Bernard saith that our chiefest Christian vertue is to heare Masse deuoutly For it is of such great efficacie and dignitie as the verie hearing of a Masse is much more worth

thy face is imprinted vpon vs Ergo We must haue Images And after many other good aud memorable verdicts Theodosius Byshop of Mira concludeth thus These testimonies are cleare and euident that not onely Images are to bee had but also that they ought to be adored and honoured For my Archdeacon so thinketh and beleeueth I Theodosius Byshop of Mira doe say that I excommunicate all such as will not worship Images And an other Byshop saith That all the calamities and aduersities which happened to the Grecians and people of the Easte was because they would not worship Images Another Byshop saith Seeing that perfumes and incense is bestowed on the Images of Emperours we ought to bestow much more vpon the Images of Saints Constance Byshop of Constance in Cyprus sayth and deliuereth this great and admirable sentence Concerning my selfe I doe protest that wee ought to giue equall honour and reuerence and in as ample manner to the Images of Saintes as to the holy Trinitie in Heauen And whosoeuer is not of mine opinion I excomunicate and send him among the Manicheans and Marcionites And assuredly all the holy Assembly of the Councell found this opinion to be very good whereupon they concluded with him in the approbation thereof and all together after him sayd Amen Iohn Ambassadour of the Easterne Churches giueth this notable opinion It were much better to haue all the Stewes and Brothell-houses of the whole worlde to bee kept in one Cittie then to reiect the seruice of Saintes Images And it is manifest that the Samaritanes were worse then Heretiques but they that reiect the Images of Saintes are much worse then the Samaritanes And all concluding with this opinion the ende and resolution of the whole Councell was determinatly set downe as followeth Wee beeing assembled in the Name of GOD doe will and command that this holy Councell and Decretall shall bee perpetually obserued in the Church And doe excommunicate all gain sayers as rebels and disobeyers heereof And to enlarge the treasure of our Mother holy Church wee giue full Iubilie of Pardons of all sinnes to all such as shall dayly haue the Image of IESVS CHRIST and doe Sacrifice honour and reuerence thereto Amen Beholde howe these holy Fathers and religious Doctours beeing wholly inspired with the holy Ghost haue gouerned our Mother holy Church whom wee will beleeue and imitate and in her Faith both liue and dye The Apostles and Gods Church LET vs come now and consider a little on the subiect of this Councell May it be called holy Or can it bee said to bee approoued of God Surely nothing lesse For if it were presented to Turkes and Saracines vndoubtedly it would bee highly detested euen of them Therefore wee may well say that neuer was that false Propher and Heretique Mahomet so beastly blinded as these grosse conceited Bishops conclusions were in this Councell to value in equall manner the adoration of Images with the worship of one onely true God in Trinitie of persons O poore miserable world plunged in all errour darknesse and ignorance It was wonderfull that in those times some man was not found in Gods behalfe to whippe those Heretiques those Marchant-sellers of Cockle and Darnell As Iesus Christ did the Marchants out of the Temple that deserued it not halfe so much as these blaspemers did But let them be assured that trueth hath euer preuayled against such impietie practised and warranted in those diabolicall Councels and that our Lorde God will be auenged on the sonnes of men deliuering them ouer in his iudgement to bee led by strong delusions and to beleeue lyes That all they might be damned which beleeued not the trueth but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes Behold what words are written by that vessell of Election proceeding from the spirit of God which should astonish and make them tremble that dare lift vp their hornes against God Against whom there is no wisedome neither vnder standing nor councell Moreouer not to digresse from our purpose if such a Monopolie of Sathan combined with his whole band by Gods secret permission did then get the day for once against Iesus Christ Should it therefore be concluded that the whole Church of God following the doctrine of her master and his Apostles hath erred in forbidding and pulling downe all Images and Idols Which being permitted by an vnchristian Councell to bee adored and worshipped ought neuerthelesse to be gain sayd broken defaced as appeareth by three other holy Councels who in this point differed not froÌ„ Apostolicall doctrine If weread the Councell of Constantinople celebrated by Constantine the fift the second Councell of Toledo and likewise the Elibertine Councell the 36. Decretal it will bee found that all these three did decree as hereafter followeth It is concluded that there shall be no pictures or paintings in Churches to the ende that no reuerence or adoration may be giuen to painted walles And after followeth We are very willing to admonish the Faithfull that so much as in them lyeth they should hinder the hauing of any Images in their houses And if they feared their seruants yeelding to them yet at least they should keepe themselues pure froÌ„ being corrupted by theÌ„ Wherin if they would not be obedient they should be accounted as strangers to the Church of God Thus did these holy Fathers in their Councels maintaine all pure Doctrine in the Church without forging any novell constitutions against the word of God The Pope and his Church COncerning all other differences and questions besides the case before declared wee doe wholly repose our selues vpon the holy Councells Decretals and Canons as more prolixly and cathegorically they are explycated by our Masters of the venerable Colledge of Sorbonne and especially by the graund Master of the Sentences All which together doe very well deliuer to euery vnderstanding the Articles and Questions proposed in that holy Councell With whom wee haue iudiciously and diuinely concluded and resolued to our great honour and glory and to the confusion of our aduersaries Notwithstanding all oppositions what soeuer alleaged on the Apostles behalfe by the Doctours of the Church For among vs we hold it as an indubitable veritie and inuincible according to the Gospels testimonie That all things which were necessarie for our saluation were not reuealed to the Apostles neither haue they written them all Wherefore it hath followed very necessarily that those things which the Apostles omitted and left out wee should afterward obtaine and diuinely finde finished in the supplement of our holy traditions and ordinances Which we will and command to be perpetually obserued and as sincerely regarded as those of Iesus Christ and of his Apostles and that vnder paine of deadly sinne excommunication and eternall damnation The Apostles and Gods Church BVt if holy Epiphanius aman of God and very highly renowned in his time were liuing in these dayes hee should haue worke enough to doe in
