to this idol Magnificet animatua Demmum let thy soule therefore saith he praise the Lord c. Because thine eies haue seene thy saluation which we that is to say the Pope haue prepared before the face of thy people c. By the same meanes he sendeth vnto her Quaternum in in quo officium continetur a scedule or booke of the office which some hold to haue beene composed by Thomas Aquinas a great defender of this new opinion to haue had giuen vnto him therefore for a gift from the Pope a Doue of siluer whereupon it commeth that being painted he is alwaies set forth with the picture of a Doue at his right shoulder And namely he turneth the hymne Pange lingua gloriosi which Fortunatus had framed about the yeare 600. vpon the passion of our Sauiour to the honor of this feast But because as saith the Glose of Decretals In Decret de reliquils ve nerat Sanct. vbi Gloss Clem. l. 3. Pomerius De reliquiis veneratione sanctorum that this constitution was not receiued in euerie place about the yeare 1311. that is to say some 50. yeares after Clement the fift ordained in a Councell holden at Vienna that it should be obserued of all And about the yeare 1360. beganne the Processions and Tabernacles at Pauie the patterne whereof was recommended to all Christendome For in deed in that of Clements there was not as yet any mention made of bringing it forth in procession and offering of it in the streetes to worship for in it there are onely these words That this feast was ordained for the preparing of euery one to the better receiuing of him c. In like manner there is euery where mention made of two kinds But in despight that Berengarius who had striuen against and beaten downe transubstantiation was Deane of S. Maurice of Angiers hee was recommended vnto this same Cittie that he might in most singular and solemne sort celebrate this festiuall day And hence sprung the originall of the solemnities of Angiers more execrable cursed and in derision of our Lord then it was euer in any other place Since Pope Martin the fift and Pope Eugenius the fourth after the yeare 1400. redoubled the pardons againe so far forth as that those of the day of the Octaues calculated and reckned by Pomerius doe amount to fortie foure thousande daies of true pardon and that as well on his part and behalfe that looketh on as on his behalfe that communicateth And this is the goodly diuinitie of Popes vpon the holy Supper of our Lord. The pompe of Rome L. 3. Ceremon eccles Romā Let vs adde hereunto the pompe of Rome for it is yet come in of a later time after the other In the middest of the same a little before the Pope there is ledde a white ambling gelding which beareth the pretended Sacrament shut vp close and fast in a boxe This ambling gelding hath a little bell of a verie good sound hanging at his necke a sumpter-cloth is spread ouer it Lib. Pontifica lis sect 1. 2 5. 12. l. 1. 3. de offic sacrist wrought with the Popes armes twelue lustie cutters or ruffians walking before c. Sometimes also if the Pope go into the fieldes they send it with traine and baggage And hee that is desirous to know yet further let him reade the Pontificall bookes wherein they intreate of Processions through the Cittie of the Pope or of the Emperour his coronation But this is a thing for vs to marke and proue namely what agreement there is betwixt these inuentions and deuises of Popes and the institution of our Lord Take eate do this in remembrance of me c. As also what meanes there are for them to excuse this idolatrie There can no excuse be made for their idolatrie Summ. Angel Euchar. c 26. according to their owne Maximes They hold that If the Priest haue not had an intent and purpose actuall as some say habituall as others to consecrate that then he doth not consecrate That likewise if he had not any further purpose then to consecrate halfe a bread that then the other halfe is common breade Those then that worship if he haue not had any purpose to consecrate what do they worship but the creature And with what faith seeing when as he hath had a purpose they are not able to sound the truth and find it out Thom. Salisburiens de art predican c. 25. Wherefore it will behoue men to haue recourse to Thomas Salisburiensis his consideration as To worship vpon condition that euerie dutie and thing required to the action be well and truely done c. They hold also That the intent of him that consecrateth is not sufficient if his also that did institute the same doe not concurre Bonau in Còpend sacr theol l. 6. rub 11. that is to say that the Priest haue an intent saith Bonauenture if he worke not according to the institution of Christ To worship then in a priuate Masse is it not idolatrie seeing that Hugo of S. Victor Gabriel Biell and Gerardus Lorichius their great Maisters of transubstantiation doe openly hold and maintaine That the priuate Masse wherein there is not made any remembrance or publike Communion is against the institution of Christ And further seeing there is such an infinite number of cases such as are verie ordinarie Thom. p. 3 q 13. Ioh. de Burgo Pupilla c. 3. Gerson contr Florent Extr. de celeb Miss and notwithstanding not perceiued of those that are present wherein the priest doth not consecrate at all As If hee forget to put wine into the cuppe if the bread be made of any other then wheate flower if there be more water then wine if the wine be eager and sharpe if of seuen leaues moe or lesse he did thinke but of sixe if he haue omitted but one worde Of those wordes say I once againe whereupon they are not agreed amongst themselues c. who shall assure their faith that are present thereat of the consecration and by consequent warrant their consciences against idolatrie How that many notable personages of this time haue beene ashamed of the doctrine Pic. Mirand in Thesi● secund Thom. Scot Idem in Apo in disput de Euch. Now it is verie certaine that manie in these our daies and times haue beene ashamed of this doctrine Iohannes Picus Counte of Mirandula durst dispute publikely at Rome against transubstantiation And his Theses are That the true bodie of Christ is locally in heauen and sacramentallie at the Altar That these wordes also Hoc est corpus meum doe not consecrate if the former be not expressed that is Pridié quàm pateretur c. That is to say that the institution lyeth not in certaine wordes but in the institution of Christ That the foure words tenentur materialiter non significatiuè Likewise he deliuereth a particular manner of eating the flesh

neither Canon nor beginning nor any note or marke of any part of this Office and seruice which now they vse more then the bare words of the institution which are repeated in the same Howsoeuer that Hugo de S. Victor Hugo de Sacram altaris Gabr. Biel. lectione 36 Innoc. 3. de celeb missae c. cū Marth et ib. glossae be not ashamed to say that the Canon of the Masse is of like authoritie with the Gospell and that Gabriell Biell haue much enhaunced the same saying That that onely worde Enim which they haue added to the wordes of our Sauiour Christ cannot be left out in that place by the Priest without committing of mortall sinne CHAP. II. That the Masses fathered vpon the Apostles and Disciples of Christ are notorious and meere suppositions WHat shall become then will you say of the Masses or Lithurgies which are so confidently builded founded vpon S. Peter S. Iames S. Mathew S. Andrew S. Marke S. Denis Areopagite S. Clement c. all Apostles Euangelistes or disciples I answere that we will in this Chapter take away whatsoeuer scruple of doubtfulnes or cloude of darknes that may arise to the troubling of any mans minde about the same Onely let the readers beare about them such care and diligent watch and attention as they would do in the receiuing of some paiment least they should be deceiued with false money or as they would vse in some suit for the auoiding of counterfeit writing or false euidence yea rather a great deale more because the sonne is much greater the inheritance of a far higher nature as containing in it our title and interest vnto eternall life Assuredly if these Masses rise from such authors as are the Apostles and Euangelists there is cause for vs to yeeld stoope for they were gouerned by the holy Ghost and the holy Ghost is alwaies like himselfe and so by consequent it must follow that wee giue vnto them the honour which wee vse to giue vnto their Epistles and Gospels But if on the contrarie it will be proued very clearely that they cannot be of the Apostles or Euangelistes then let vs confesse that that which they teach is worthily to be suspected of vs to be the meere seed tares of the enuious man which bestirred himselfe in the night yea and that in most abhominable manner For as there is none so hardie as to falsifie and counterfeit the coine of the Prince but such as in whom the spirit of lying and rebellion raigneth so there cannot any be found so bold and impudent as to counterfeit the spirit of Christ the style hand of his Apostles saue such as in whom the spirit of Sathan beareth rule and sway But I speake not this vpon any conceit of these pretended Masses which can nothing preuaile against vs seeing that our aduersaries themselues dare not auouch them for authentike seeing also that there is neuer a Priest of them all amongst the Latine Churches which can perswade himself to haue made a good consecration by following of their rules seeing also that we can fortifie and strengthen our owne cause diuers sorts of waies by them seeing the confession therein is not made vnto any but vnto God alone seeing the Communion is therein administred vnto all the people and vnder both kindes and for that also that the Canon thereof is farre differing from that of the Latine and finally for that they are said in a language that is commonly vnderstood of all and for many other reasons which shall be handled in their place And that the rather in good sooth for that it is our dutie for that testimonie sake which we do owe vnto the truth to make our selues parties against them and that the more by reason of the horrible hugenes of deceiuing lies so impudently broached in the matters concerning our saluation Then let vs enter into the listes The lithurgie of S. Iames. and trie the strength of that which they pretend make shew of to haue beene done by S. Iames. S. Iames the iust say they the brother of our Lord did first set downe the Masse in writing he hath offred sacrifice after the manner of the Iewes as also after the manner of the Christians and to him alone before all or any one of the rest of the Apostles it was permitted by the Iewes because of his tribe holines of life to go into the most holy place Iudge what apparance of truth is in these assertions when as S. Iames who had seene and learned yea did teach that the onely sacrifice of our Lord Sauior Christ did put an end to all the sacrifices of the law should not yet giue ouer but continue to offer sacrifices according to the Iewish fashion and manner that the Iewes who did abhorre and detest nothing so much as the Apostles persecuting S. Iames vnto the death and Ananias still holding the place of the high Priest wold euer permit suffer him to do any such thing that as they add with the garments of the high priests but principally in cōsideration of his stock and lineage a thing making him to be so much the more suspected of the Romaines who had the gouernment ouer Iudea But still they continue their claime and say Concil Constant 2. in Trul. Canon 32. that it was alleadged in the second Councell of Constantinople against thē who did not mingle water in the Sacrament of the holy Supper Let vs adde then that this was neere vpon seuen hundred years after that Christ was ascended that of all that time it had neuer a tongue to speake Whereas of a truth if it had beene true and known so to be from of old it wold not haue beene forgotten of the former councels seeing the power and authority thereof comming from so great an Apostle would haue beene able to haue put downe and made nothing worth all the controuersies though neuer so great that were moued and raised in the same In the Councels of Ephesus the first and the second where the controuersie was handled against Eutiches and Nestorius and where the Fathers produced no proofe of antiquitie besides a certaine place out of Eusebius and Origene in which the holy virgin is called the mother of God Iudge you and thinke what aduantage they had got against Nestorius if they had had forth comming this Lithurgie wherein fiue or sixe seuerall times she is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the virgine that did beare and bring forth God namely all that which may growe from the saying and testimonie of an Apostle yea all that which the testimonie of the spirite of God is able to afforde to the establishing of the truth of a doctrine of such importance and weight as also to the authorizing of the first and principall Canon of those Councelles And yet notwithstanding some holde that Proclus Archbishop of Constantinople was present at the first and disputed against
