CHAPTER XXXIII a HEre M. hethethee hothethee standeth like a man in a great amaze b Here in this point is some great matter for he saith the secrete very softly for feare he should be heard and soone after crieth out aloude to no purpose in the world for euer and euer To th' end that the people they which help him at Masse might answer Amen without ether hearing or yet vnderstanding what it was that he said neither yet whereunto he referreth this his Per omnia For this word Amen is an Hebrewe word by which they that speake it declare their consent to that which is said and testifie that they take it to be true and wish it to be so But how can he that so answereth answere in trueth without he do it scoffingly and merily when as he vnderstandeth not that which he affirmeth and testifieth For it is as if a manne should set his hand and seale vnto an obligation or letter hauing neuer read it nor yet knowinge what is within it And therefore the holy Apostle saith How shall he say Amen to thy prayer who neither knoweth what thou sayest nor yet vnderstandeth thee one whit 1. Cor. 14. And if this be to be done in the publique prayers of the Church it is much more requisite in the administration of the Sacraments For sith they are as it were a confirmation of the contract and couenaunt which the Lorde hath made with vs what protestation are we able for our partes to make if we vnderstand not the contents and articles of the couenant whereof the Sacramentes are as it were the seales It is also much like as if men should seale to a couenāt and vnderstood not what it is as if they should beare witnes vnto it yet knew not the contents thereof And therfore the Sacramental words of all Sacramentes are so to be vttered as that they to whom they appertaine might as well as their capacitie were able to beare it vnderstand them c Here he saluteth the people with his tayle towardes them without tourning him selfe about vnto them d Wee haue alreadie elsewhere declared to what end this is said and from whence it was taken and how the contrarie is done in the Masse of this exhortation And therefore the Doctors them selues of the Popish Church do testifie that none can haue part of this Sacrament without he lift vp his hart on high and that manie of them which say they lifte them vp on high doe manie times shamefully lye e Although all that goeth before serueth for a preface they especially call all that which followeth it by the same name vnto the Sanctus We haue somewhat at large spoken in other places of the diuersitie of Prefaces which also haue their seuerall tunes accordinge to the dayes and feasts for which they are properly appointed The Canons which we haue spoken of that forbid no Collectes prayers prefaces proses nor anie other Apocriphaes noranie thing else that is not approued lawfull to be vsed haue yet rehearsed them in diuerse and sundrie Councels as namely in the second Laodicean Councell in the Millaine And therefore it was many times ordained that there should be but one fourme of the Diuine office in one selfe same Prouince and Countrey and especially in the Gerundense first Bracarien Ex lib. Con fourth and eleuenth Tolentane Councelles For which cause they had their diuerse and sundrie vsages giuen them according to the diuersity of the Bishoprickes and Diocesses The forme maner of the Preface which is here set down is ordained to be said euerie day from Christmasse night vnto the Epiphanie It serueth also for Candlemasse and this Corpus Christi day The rest of the feasts haue theirs also by them selues Furthermore I finde no great hurt in that that is herein contayned if it were applied as it should be that is according to the forme of the auncient Church f This aduertisement that is here giuen is because that hitherto M. Rowley Rownsie as a man amazed holdeth out his handes a stroute as if iolie Sainct Frauncis should shew the skarres of his wounds And in the end of his preface he putteth them againe together g Ouer and besides that which hath bene alreadie said of the ordinance of Pope Sixtus cōcerning the Sanctus there is yet a Canon in the second Vasense Councell which commaundeth it to be said in all Masses of what qualitie or conditiō soeuer they be It is a notable thing to see frō whēce this geare it fetcht For there is nothing of it selfe but is to the praise and glorie of God But being applied to this Idoll of the Masse wherfore serueth it but onely for blasphemie For the Lord knoweth what goodly Angelles and Seraphims we haue of these blasphemers to sing praise vnto him They may very wel cal him holy holy

Your L. alwayes to be commaunded in the Lord Iesus THOMAS STOCKER A PREFACE DECLARING ALL SVCH MATTERS AS ARE TO BE handled and treated of within this present hooke SITH we are now growne to an end of that Cronicle which wee were determined to make concerning the Actes and deeds of Popes whereby their holinesse the rest of their ordinances may the better be discerned and iudged I haue not thought it amisse to make some discourse of the Canons and decrees made and established in the Councelles which haue bene solemnelie helde from the Apostles time euen vnto this present I meane of the Canons decrees which touch those matters that we nowe intend to treat of Howbeit there are manie causes which giue me occasion at this time not to deal with thē The first is for that I fear the book will grow to be ouer great as I see it fal out by another booke of mine which I tooke in hand intituled Of the difference and conference of the Supper of the Lorde and the Masse Albeit I did at that time cut of manie thinges which might verie well haue bene set foorth The other is That a great part of the Decrees and Canons of the Councelles appartaining to that matter which we presentlie are to treate of are attributed to the Romish Bishops especiallie to those who at that time enioyed that sea wherein those Councels were solemnized And therefore the greater part of them hath alreadie bene published and set abrode Moreouer I do also consider that these Canons and decrees which are assigned vnto the ancient Councelles are often alotted vnto them vnder a false title as manie other ordinances also are attributed to manie auncient Romish Bishops who neuer once thought of them and were falslie collected euen by the very selfe same men which vpheld the Popish sea all the abuses and superstitions that euer were brought into Christendome Wherefore it is most necessarie that when anie Councelles are spoken of that they which reade thē call to mind that which we haue spoken of in our other booke concerning the witnesses by vs produced for the setting downe of those ordinances attributed to Popes of whom we haue made mention For therein is likewise committed great leasings by the reason of the knowledge and practise of a great number of false witnesses by whom Antichrist hath serued his owne turne that by them he might obtaine a glorious glittering shewe vnto his false religion tyrannie and chieflie vnder the title of antiquitie and auncient Councelles vnder which colour the Suppostes of the Romish Church labour with tooth and naile to quench the truth and word of the Lord. And therefore it is verie requisite that the matter be well looked vnto For as wee must not lightly contemne the authoritie of the lawfull Christian Councelles euen so likewise we must be well aduised how we allow vnlawfull Councelles for lawfull and that errors superstitions and heresies be not allowed receaued vnder the colour of Christian Councelles And besides we must also vnderstand thus much That there was neuer any Councell so pure Christian like sithens the Apostles time wherein som chaffe hath not bene mixed with the Corne yea some notable beginning of superstition also by which meane Antichrist soone after hath not gotten some matter to build an house for his raigne and to work his secrete iniquitie withall Wherefore we are with very sound iudgement to reade whatsoeuer is set downe vnto vs vnder the name of Councelles and auncient Fathers and not lightlie approue any thing vntill such time as we haue

Concil reprehended him for it And therfore he was enforced to purge defend him selfe of it as in his registre we read where he amongest other his reasons alleageth That it was not likely that the prayers which the schoolemen collected and put into the Canon were to be recited and therefore much lesse the Lordes prayer And because there were certaine Priestes in Spayne which sayd it not It was ordeyned in the fourth Councell of Tolete celebrated about the time of Honourius the first that what soeuer Priest or Clarke that sayd it not aswell in the publicque office as in the perticular should be deposed from his dignitie and office It is wonder to see how shamefast our young maisters are here For they speake as if they durst not say this prayer except they were commaunded taught to do it out of the doctrine of Iesus Christ without which in truth they ought not do For they ought not take in hande any diuine seruice without his ordenance But why were they not so ashamed in all the rest of their dealings And wherfore were they so bold rashe arrogant to thrust in such a number of their doting inuentions dreames and blasphemies into the pure holy ordenaunce of Iesus the sonne of god Moreouer we might shew how well this praier agreeth with their owne doctrine if we had not set the same forth at large in those our dialogues wherin we haue made an exposition of the same howbeit we wil here touch only one point that greatliest appertaineth to this matter and that is this that when our Lord Iesus Christ teacheth vs to seeke after god our father in heauen he admonisheth vs that he wil be serued with a spirituall seruice which alone he accepteth of as our Lord Iesus Christ him selfe teacheth vs in the talke which he had with the womā of Samary Iohn 4. about this matter Nowe we must not worship honor the sonne otherwise thē we would honor the father because there is alwaies but one the self same essential substantiall God And therfore if we will worship him as he is to be worshipped we must lift our hartes vp vnto heauen where Iesus Christ as S. Paule telleth vs Coloss 3. sitteth at the right hande of God his father not seeke to worshippe him here below on earth in a peece of bread a round cake a goblet in the handes of my yong M. in a pyxe amongst vermine myse who are alwaies at warre with this poore white God Wherefore we are throughly to consider of those words which the Priest speaketh whē he nameth heauē in the beginning of his praier Where he admoniseth vs to lift vp our hartes after when he cōmeth to say Panē nostrū c. our daily bread he in many places lifteth vp his round cake aboue his shoulders as if he would say let him alone in heauen worship him here in this round cake Or it may be he doth it for this purpose to declare that this round cake is the daily bread of these young masters For they may boldly vaūt that he feedeth them and that he hath many of these praesta quaesumus young masters who would haue very hungry bellies and leane chappes if this iolly litle round shorne God like a Priestes round shorne crowne gotte them not two or three two pences a daye through out the yeare d After that my young maister hath made great sporte with his round cake and his goblet then must his saucer also haue his turne e In other places the Clarkes or els the Angels say Amen But here our maister Martin him selfe sayeth it wherein I tel you are no smal mysteries Howbeit we will not tell what they are because they are aboue our reache And besides After he hath alowd roared out the Pater noster he againe returneth to the mumbling vp of other blasphemous prayers calling vpon others then Iesus Christ Now our young maisters yeeld a very strong and notable reason for the roaring out of the Lordes prayer seeing that all the whole canon is sayd in secrete and besides all the rest of the prayers which followe immediatly after It is say they because this prayer is taken out of the Gospell and because that Iesus Christ commaunded that that which he sayd in secrete and in the eare should be preached aboue in the house tops in the open places and streetes Wherein I can not but take it in good part and greatly thanke them for their so free confessing of the truth Wherevpō we may cōtrarywise conclude that it is no maruell though they mumble vp and buzze all the rest and especially their whole Canon secretly softly as all Coniurers doe which is cleane contrary
