if they be dishonoured how are they Christs 5. They celebrate Masse in the morning a time not appointed by the Catholicke Church 6. One and the same Priest celebrateth Masse twise or thrise a day either on the same Altar or on another and againe many Priests successiuely vpon the same Altar 7. They contemne the Liturgie made by Saint Chrysostome 8. In the Lent they say Masse euery day The thirteenth Article is Confirmation as the words of the Index beare reiected by the Greciās The words are these When the Baptized is come to age and is now subiect to actuall sinne they annoynt him with Oyle for remission of sins and so they seeme to baptize twice The fourteenth Article is in Baptisme they Baptize with once dipping pronouncing these words In the Name of the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost They baptize onely with water and they annoynt him that is to bee baptized with Spittle powred out vpon the palme of the left hand and againe taking it in the right hand they anoynt the baptized with it neither receiue they from the Catholike Church the appoynted oyntment The fifteenth Article is concerning Ordination Bishops at euery occasion consecrate not the Cleargie and Bishops but seldome in the yeare and superstitiously keepe set dayes in the weeke at the Equinoctialls and Solstices that is in the Spring Summer Haruest and Winter in March and September Iune and December and that in the first weeke of March but in the rest of the moneths on the fourth day they ordaine Priests and Deacons with others of the Clergy but vpon Saterday they ordaine Bishops and others of the higher Orders The Successour of the dead Pope is chosen after this manner The Synod chooseth him and bringeth him to the dead the * The liuing is the whole the dead the halfe viz a carkase Calumnie whole to the halfe and taking the dead Popes hand they put it vpon the necke of the liuing Pope and this they thinke to bee the Vnction and Consecration of the Successour who incontinent offereth sacrifice for the safetie of the dead Pope and thereafter hee stoutly and couragiously taketh the pontificall Offices vpon him as if hee were lawfully annoynted The sixteenth Article is Marriage they make vnlawfull marriages for two brethren marry two sisters and when one in the Latin Church giueth his Daughter in marriage to any man he againe asketh the daughter of him * Consoceri that is Father in Law to his Daughter for his Sonne brother or kinsman 2. They shut vp all Priests and Deacons from marriage by their Lawes and they hold it an abomination to receiue the Sacrament from a married Priest 2. If any married man be initiated in Priest-hood or Deaconship he must quit his wife and leaue her and this by a very strict Law they command to be kept in all the prouinces subiect vnto them but many were amongst them who vilipended this Law and married a second wife after the death of the first and so some married the third and yet they remained still in their sacred Office 4. There are many Churchmen amongst them who commit whordome and all kind of vncleanesse most securely without punishment taking their whores in the night time to their chambers and letting them againe depart being vailed neither doe they account this to be an act of vncleanesse but only an idle dreame or apparition Thus farre they accuse the Latines doctrine and Sacraments now follow the errours which they impute to them in their manners 1. The first errour in manners and ceremonies not so essentiall to the substance of Religion as they hold the rest is this Their Priests vse a certaine purging and washing which serues as they say for remission of sinnes and yet it is meerely Iudaisme 2. Their principall Bishops entring to their Masse in a Procession haue little naked children going before them whom they sprinckle with water affirming that this maketh them inuincibly strong in warrs 3. They vse the holy Eucharist most negligently Here there is some Calumny for going to the fields or countrey they carry it without light and giue it to the people without light and those fellowes that follow the warres carry it in their burse or put it vp after such a fashion 4. In the summer solstice they gather the bones of impure beasts as Asses Dogges and such like they burne them and put the ashes of them in water affirming that they serue for the purging and expiation of those persons whom they sprinckle with them In the beginning of Lent which is the fourth day called Wednesday with these ashes mingled with water they sprinckle all the Priests that come on the forehead and face thinking thereby to giue aide and helpe to their fast It is reported that they mingle these ashes with the bread that they eate O how great and how strange an abhomination is this 5. Vpon Easter day being the Lords day they kill a Lambe and roast it they bring it vnto the Altar and then to their Table Which Ceremonies being finished they eate the flesh of the Lambe and burne the bones and keepe the ashes all the yeare long to sprinckle those whom they would haue to be blessed They kill and are killed they commit murther how then can their Priests with those bloody hands offer the mysticall body and blood of Christ 6. Vpon the Lords passion day they build the Lords Tombe within the Church with common and base cloathes ordained for quotidian vse and running to this Tombe they worship it no lesse than if it were that same Tombe wherein the Lords body was laid Afterwards euery man pulleth to him his owne cloathes againe and vseth them for couering of his body sanctifying a prophane thing and prophaning that which is holy and so pull downe that Tombe like a prophane Stage which a little before was so worshipped by them sporting with things which are not matters of ieasting like little children building cabinets of straw which a little after they beate downe 7. They vse the Altar in stead of their common Table and the linnen belonging to the same which from the sacrifice they bring to their supper and from their supper to the Sacrifice againe 8. Any man that pleaseth may approach to the Altar yea when the action is in hand and that without regard of Sexe Age or Order and Layicks sit with Priests and other holy Orders yea they plead Actions at the Altar Sometimes the same Layicks carry Spurres vpon their heeles and carrying rods in their hands they keepe a foule noise Yea before the Altar they are bold euen to doe those things which they doe in the commonest Court in all the Country Sometimes women sit in the Chaire of a Bishop for those that among the Latins are most eminent in piety can no bettter discerne holy things from prophane Yea which is worse they suffer Dogges to enter into the Church and when the Priest is a sacrificing and celebrating the
