benedictione Similiter Evangelium legitur 5 5 Sacerdos maiore digito facit in libo quinque signa tanquam stigmata The Priest with his greatest finger maketh five signes or prickes upon the Cake 6 6 Consecrat in sualinguae iisdem verbis quibus et nos et non sublevat He doth Consecrate in the vulgar tongue in the same words that we doe and doth not elevate it 7 7 Id ipsum quoque facit in calice et no● elevat The same he doth with the Cup but not elevate it 8 8 Sacramentum panis in manibus acoipiens partitur per medium Taking the sacrament of the bread in his hands he divideth it in the midle 9 9 Ex summitate partis paululum detrahit quam particulam pro se accipit Of the uppermost he taketh a little for himselfe 10 The dish with the Sacrament 10 Lancem in̄ sacramento porrigit ei qui evangelium legit he delivereth to him that readeth the Gospell 11 The Cup with the Sacrament 11 Calicom cum sacrumento porrigit ei qui legit Epistolam he delivereth to him that readeth the Epistle 12 12 Qui continuo dant communionem sacerdotibus qui astant altari Then he giveth to the Priests that stand at the Altar 13 The Deacon taking the Sacrament out of the dish 13 Diaconus sacramentū ex lance sumens manuquo dextra tenens minutim distribuit and holding it in his right hand doth distribute it in parts 14 In the meane season the subdeacon delivereth the blood in a golden silver or wodden spoone 14 Interea Subdiaconui pauxillum de sanguine cochleari aureo argenteo vel ligneo sumptum porigit illis qui sumpserunt sacramentum corporis to them that have received the sacrament of the body 15 In the same manner 15 Eodem modo datur communio illis qui stant ante primam cortinam et aliis qui stant iuxta alteram cortinam the communion is given to them that stand neere the other Cortin 16 Last of all 16 Postea fecularibus qui stant inxta portam princi palem tam viris quam mulieribus to the lay people both men and women 17 Whilst the communion is administring 17 Dum datur communio aut altud quippiam officii sit amnes stant erecti or any other service is doing in the Church all the people stand upright 18 To the Communion all come 18 Ad communionem omnes veniunt sublatis complicatisque manibus lifting up their hands and folding them together In these Liturgies before named although some of them seeme to be corrupted and expurged as they plainely confesse the expurging of the Jndian Liturgie yet the Eucharist is administred in both kinds There is no privat Masse There is mention made of a spirituall sacrifice I finde not Transubstantiation in them There is no elevation of the Sacrament Maried Priests administer And Mans merit is renounced in them as before c. And the like will also appeare in the other old antient Liturgies attributed to St. Peter St. Matthew St. Ambrose St. Andrew St. Dennis St. Clement c. And for the Masse now used in the Roman Church fathered upon St. Gregorie although it hath beene purged and purged againe yet therein still appeareth some footing of truth and Antiquitie As the bread and wine are called Dona and Munera And after Consecration they are called Creatures per quem haec bona semper Creas commaund thy Angells to carry up these to thy high Altar in heaven whereas the Preist would have us beleeve that after he hath gone over them that they are no more Creatures but the Creator that made all things One thing more I note by the way that there is a Liturgie attributed to Saint Peter set downe in Bibliotheca veterum Patrum used in some part of Calahria Now who can beleeve that the Church of Rome holding so much of Saint Peter that under his name shee exalteth her selfe over the whole world would offer Saint Peter so much wrong as to drive his Liturgie out of Rome and suffer a few Preists to use it inhabiting the Mountaines of Basilica in Calabria Also whereas the Romish writers call all these Liturgies Masses as the Masse of Saint Basill the Masse of Saint Chrysostome the Armenian Masse the Aethiopian Masse There is a difference betweene the Romish Masse and their Liturgies for the Church of Rome in their Masse intendeth cheifely a Sacrifice but these Churches a Communion The Aethiopians call the Communion Codash and the bread Corban The Greekes call it the Liturgie as the Liturgie of Saint Basill the Liturgie of Saint Chrisostome As these Liturgies before named agree with us in many things so also there are some things in them which I doe not Iustifie as before and in viewing them and comparing them with our service booke I have great cause to magnifie Gods great goodnesse and mercie to us and this section I will conclude with the words of the Reverend and holie Martir Docter Rowland Tailor vnto Bishop Gardiner and others There was saith he Ecclesiast hist 3. Volum fol 171. Printed 1631. set forth by the most innocent King Edward for whom God be praised everlastingly the whole Church service with the best advice of the learned men of the Realme and authorised by the whole Parliament and received and published gladly by the whole Realme which Booke was never reformed but once said my author in his time and yet by that once reformation it was so fully perfected according to the rules of our Christian Religion in every behalfe that no Christian Conscience can be offended with any thing therein conteined I find that these Churches are not hereticall but Orthodox for the maine Wheras these Churches are charged by some to be heretiques you shall find divers good Authors to have written to the contrary As first for the Greeke Church Azorius thinketh them to be no heretikes and sheweth a reason therefore Azorius Instit moral lib 8. cap. 20. quest 10. because in those articles wherein they are thought to erre they differ verbally onely and not really from those that are undoubtedly beleevers and giveth instance in the question touching the proceeding of the holy Ghost wherein he thinketh they differ in the forme of words only Lomb lib 1. div 10. And the like saith Peter Lombard The Craecians affirme that the holy Ghost proceedeth frō the Father only and not from the Son yet they doe acknowledge the Holy Ghost to be the Spirit of the Son as well as of the Father because the Apostle saith that he is the Spirit of the Sonne and in the Gospell Gal. 4● He is called the Spirit of Truth and now seeing it is no other thing Iohn 10. to be the spirit of the Father and the Sonne then to be from the Father and the Sonne they

Priest 10. That Infidels and impious persons yea ratts and mise may eate the body of Christ 11. That the Laiety are not bound by Christs institution to receive the Communion in both kindes 12. That private Maffes wherin the Priest saith Eat drink ye all of this yet eateth drinketh himselfe only is according to Christs institutiō 13. That extreme Vnction is a Sacrament properly so called 14. That the publique service of God in the Church ought or may be celebrated in an unknowne tongue 15. That wee may worship God by an Image c. These and other new Tenets and Doctrines defide of the now Church of Rome cannot be shewed to bee the Doctrines of faith of the old ancient Church of Rome To conclude this point as there is Antiquity of Time so also of Truth and Doctrine for a people to receive Christianity the true faith from the Apostles or Christ himselfe profiteth nothing except they doe still retaine the said Faith Doctrine as our Lord told the Pharises boasting of antiquity that they had Abraham to their Father That they were of their father the devill not doing Abrahams workes So it may be said of them Iohn 8. that boast only of Antiquity of Time without Antiquity of Truth Doctrine The succession of Bishops CHAP.
