vndisposed prayer of the very first infantes and entrers in to the faith in S. Paules time For proufe that certaine Nations had the church Seruice in vulgar and barbarous tonges he alleaged S. Thomas of Aquine and Eckius whom otherwheres he scoffeth at as men of small auctoritie to such streightes for this point is he dryuē And yet that which they saye is farre from prouing his assertion For as concerning that which he brought out of Clemens Alexandrinus Origen S. Chrysostome Hierome and Augustine much lesse perteineth it to this purpose He that being asked the way to Yorke answered a potte full of plummes said as aptly to the question as M. Iuell answered to this direct point out of the forsaid fathers Neither more maketh the decree of Iustiniā for proufe that the seruice was in any other thē the Greke and Latine tong in the East and West church which to that ende he alleaged but only that Bishops and Priestes should pronoūce their wordes at the Masse and other Seruice with an audible and distinct voice Neither is he able to proue that that decree was to be extended to the Latines and to all the people of Christendom to whom in his Sermon he said it to perteine If he would stand to Iustinians decrees he would sone be brought to recant in the chiefe pointes that be in questiō betwixt vs and the Ghospellers as the lerned in the Ciuill lawes do well knowe Item where in the fourth Article of my boke I alleage a testimonie out of Saint Augustine lib. 1. contra 2. epistolas Pelagianorum ad Bonifacium cap. 1. in which that holy and lerned Bishop acknowlegeth the Bishop of Rome his superioritie Englishing his wordes so smoothly as the roughnes of the Latine phrase which in sundry bokes I founde vniforme permitted and there do note in the margent this part of the sentence in Latine so as I founde it in bookes of sundry impressions Quamuis in eo praemineas celsiore fastigio speculae pastoralis Hereat M. Iuell toke occasion to carpe me and to saye his pleasure of me that I had mangled S. Augustines place left out the verbe est placed a nominatiue case without a verbe put communis without a substantiue writtē speculae for specula had made S. Augustine to speake false Latin and had done I can not tell what To all this I answer I alleaged the place faithfully as I founde it And if M. Iuell will trye my truth herein let hym vewe the bokes of sundry Paris printes in folio and of Lions print in octauo and he shall fynde speculae not specula And in tourning the place into English not being so hardy as to alter any worde of the boke wherein I should geue the aduersarye occasion to charge me with the crime of a falsarie for that I thought not to be vpright dealing I englished it so as the wordes semed best to beare Wherein the fault which M. Iuell charged me with is not to be imputed to my falsehed putting the wordes as I foūde them but to the printers ouersight if any were Neither do I make S. Augustine to speake false latine but so as the bookes which I consulted report him to speake But what fault so euer he found with my grammer certaine it is as touching diuinitie that Saint Augustine for all that in the forsaid place to Bonifacius acknowlegeth the Bishop of Rome his superioritie ouer and aboue all other Bishops By this I perceiue whereas M. Iuell to impaire my credite in the opinion of the vnlerned people charged me with incongrue speach in the Latine tong he would if he could also charge me with incōgrue behauioure in Christian life For that is the marke he shooteth at to discredit my person whereas he seeth he is not able to disproue the doctrine that I defend If these be the greatest faultes he could fynde in my boke there is no great cause why his huge booke made against it that now is in printing shold be so much desyred or susteine so great an expectation Which expectation the greater it is the more it shall cause men to contemne it and laugh at it if they shall see so great a hill after so long trauaile brought a bed but of a foolish mouse If greater faultes had ben founde Paules Crosse had rong of them For these foreronning sermons haue set forth the specialst pointes to disproue the doctrine of the Catholike church to discredit me and to gete credite to his owne booke And whereas he vaunted him selffe to haue noted against my boke .97 errours within the compasse of the first .80 leaues of his said booke In case they be of the same coyne that these be of which he hath pyked out for his best shewe in the pulpite as by such coyners they be easely coyned so may they be sone reiected when they come to sight as being light of weight and counterfeites If all were erroneous and faulty that M. Iuell is not ashamed for such to note and reproue then were the whole summe of the Catholike faith and Christian religion erroneous and faulty With the teachinges promptinges of the holy ghoste wherewith the church hath hitherto ben preserued from errour in faith it is small shame my simple doinges by M. Iuelles light report to be named erroneous and faulty I vnderstand by myne informations that he spake of certaine other pointes wherin he sought how to impugne the truth to discredit me as of the secrete pronouncing of the Canon in the West church of th aulters standing in churches of olde time toward the East and such the like matters of smal weight not worthy thanswering But now I intend not by making any answere thereto either to trouble thee or to payne my selfe being otherwise fully occupied This much I thi●●e to be ynough for this time to satis●● thy request to defend the truth and to cleare me of the vntruthes with which I was of M. Iuell vniustly charged Now to ende Reader if thou be setled in the catholike faith there staye thee what so euer thou heare and read to the contrary and thanke God of it If thou be wauering nor yet thoroughly setled but indifferent as it were to the one syde or the other be well assured that the faith of the catholike church of these nyne hundred yeres past be sufficiently disproued and confuted which in dede can not be Christes promise standing and his prayer made to his father for the church performed before thou aduēter theverlasting state of thy soule by thy priuate choise of a newe founde faith in these later perilous times towardes the cōming of Antichrist first preached Antuerpiae 1565. 24.

A BRIEFE ANSWERE of Thomas Harding Doctor of Diuinitie touching certaine vntruthes with which Maister Iohn Iuell charged him in his late Sermon at Paules Crosse the viii of Iuly Anno. 1565. ANTVERPIAE typis Aegid Diest 26. Iulij TO THE READER FOR so muche Gentill Reader as Maister Iuell hitherto hath refused my reasonable request touching his sermon at Paules Crosse of the .27 of Maie last to be imparted vnto me so as he will stand vnto it and hath since that time eftsones doubled his euill demeanour towardes me and his iniurie towardes the truth by his other late sermon of the .8 of Iuly last I trust I shall seme to do neither besydes the dutie of an honest man if I cleare my selfe of slaūder obiected neither besydes that apperteineth to my calling if I defend the truth impugned I confesse in very dede it shold better become my person to bestowe a iust treatise vpō these pointes thē such short pamflets which I wold willingly do after the measure of my simple lerning if I had the said sermons either printed or by M. Iuell hymselfe subscribed But the case standing as it doth and the same being yet denyed I thinke it better thus to write briefly then by silence to seme to acknowledge a gylt to suffer thee to remaine deceiued and the truth iniured If the points whereto now I make answere were mo or fewer or vnder an other forme of wordes vttered then here thou findest them reported therein I am blameles who folow such informations as fresh from Paules Crosse I haue receiued That such thinges were there spokē I am not without cause persuaded seing that the informations by sundry persons aparte made without diuersitie agree in one And because thou art desyrous with many other to be resolued therein to be short thus it is COncerning his sermon of the .27 of Maie there was no great thing said worthy to be answered besydes his disproufe of certaine auncient fathers in the first article of my boke alleaged Of whose good auctoritie I purpose to treate hereafter at large for so the matter requireth Whiche to do at this present the tyme and occasion serueth not Touching his other sermon of the eight of Iuly as the matter he treated of was of more weight so was his dealing therein of more falsehed and shamelesnes First whereas he bare his hearers in hande that in my secōd article for proufe of receiuing vnder one kinde I had belyed S. Paul as though I had said that in the tenth chapter of his first Epistle to the Corinthians he had made no mencion of the cuppe for whiche he triumphed at me not a litle How truly this was said let my boke be triall where vpon occasion of S. Paules receiuing of one only kynde after S. Chrysostomes mynde thou shalt fynde Reader these wordes in the first print fol 41. a. in the later print fol. 61. a. It is not to be marueiled at albeit S. Paul deliuered to the Corinthians the institution of our Lordes supper vnder both kyndes that yet vpon occasion geuen and when condition of time so required he ministred the communion vnder one kynde sith that without doubt he tooke that holy mysterie vnder one kynde for the whole Sacrament as we perceiue by his wordes where he sayeth Vnus panis vnū corpus multi sumus omnes qui de vno pane participamus One bread and one body we being many are all that do participate of one bread where he speaketh nothing of the cuppe Thus there Now iudge who list whether in respect of those wordes of S. Paul I might not saye as I dyd where he speaketh nothing of the cuppe for in those wordes in dede he speaketh not of the cuppe And that my word where hath relation to that sentence of S. Paul only not to the whole chapter For neither coulde I be so blind as not to see mention of the cuppe made in the next sentence before and how absurd had it ben by denying so knowen a trouth to haue geuen such aduantage to the aduersarie Now that S. Paul in that sentence speaketh nothing of the cuppe I will be tried by the most auncient and truest copies both Greke and Latine and by iudgemēt of them of M. Iuelles owne secte them selues yea by thenglish Bibles and new testamentes of best auctoritie Item where I saye in my boke that the blessed sacrament is not called communion because many or as M. Iuell teacheth the whole congregation communicateth together in one place but because of the effect of the sacrament for that by the same we are ioyned to God and many that be diuerse be vnited together and made one mysticall body of Christ which is the church of which body by vertue and effect of this holy sacrament all the faithfuls be members one of another and Christ is the head for profe where of there I alleage Dionys. Areopagita Against this he pretended to haue the auctoritie of Pachymeres of Haimo of Hugo Cardinalis and Gerardus Lorichius For his proufe he alleaged certaine wordes as out of Pachymeres To this I answer First that Georgius Pachymeres in his Greke Paraphrasis vpon Saint Dionysius where only he had cause thereof to treate wrote no suche wordes as according to thinformations Maister Iuell alleaged Neither without doubt hath Haimo Hugo or Lorichius any thing to the contrary of the doctrine which in that behalfe my boke reporteth Now whereas M. Iuell byndeth vs to the auctoritie of the first six hundred yeres after Christ and admitteth none for vs that wrote sithens what reason is it he shuld be heard bringing against vs such as be farre out of the compasse of those yeres and otherwyse in his opinion obscure men and of no fame Lorichius lyueth in our time Hugo Cardinalis lyued Anno Domini 1230. whom M. Iuell doubtles litle estemeth as he who in his replyes to M. D. Cole disgraceth men of greater lerning then this Hugo was of with the contemtible name of the blacke Gard. Yet now he thinketh good to make his most aduantage of them and of who so euer come to hand albeit their wordes that make for his purpose against the doctrine of Saint Dionysius touching this point are not yet brought forth Georgius Pachymeres a Grecian wrote not full three hundred yeres past Haimo long before about the time of Charlemaigne These as the two other notwithstanding their age I esteme as I ought But their bare names without any sentēce alleaged proue no more the contrary of that I affirme thē potecaries empty painted boxes yelde holesome medicines for the sicke Item where in my booke among ther places of holy scripture for proufe of cōmunion vnder one kynde I saye that the place of the .17 chapter of the Actes might be alleaged and adde for better auctoritie of that point the iudgement of S. Chrysostome with these wordes Where Chrysostome and other fathers vnderstand the bread that S. Paull in perill
