Quieunque fecerit voluntatem patris mei Whosoever shall doe the will of my Father he is my brother sister mother For tell me why should not a cobler under a stall or a poore woman selling her bunch of radish about the streetes who have a care to live in the feare of God assume these stately honorable stiles as well as either Carmelise or Iesuite Albeit I confesse it would nothing become them so to do Our Saviour bids us when we have done our best endeavours say we are unprofitble servants The Pope calls him selfe servum servorum dei the servant of Gods servants The Publican is commended for not lifting his eyes to Heaven but knocking his brest and calling himselfe a sinner The Prodigall Child hold it too much to be called his fathers son The invited Guest is commanded to take the lowest place at the table And we know who said to the Apostles contending which of them should be the greatest Quicunque voluer is inter vos maior fieri sit vester minister c. Math. 23. He that would be the greatest among you he shall be your servant And he that exalteth himselfe shal be humbled and he that humbleth himselfe shal be exalted And albeit it pleaseth our Saviour sometimes to grace his followers with high stiles and termes full of love honour as he who knoweth the worth and merit of all his servants as for example to call them his friends his brethren his fellow-heires his children his disciples his servants Yet it becomes not poore silly wretched man who either knowes his own misery in this valley of teares or is more miserable in being ignorant thereof to approach nearer unto his Creator then the Portall of Pulvis cinis Shall I speake unto my Lord being but dust ashes not knowing whether in this life he be worthy of love or hatred a vessell of honour or dishonour but that whatsoever good he hath is by grace from Heaven not of himselfe And so much for the power of the Carmelites Scapular in matters of Purgatory The summe of all whose doctrine in this point is That the blessed Virgin the Mother of God descends from Heaven every Saturday but whether before noone or after it is uncertaine to deliver all such as have dyed in the Scapular the week before The occasion of which supposed priviledge as far as I can conjecture was this The Carmelite Friars hearing that the Franeiscans did preach and publish unto the people That S. Francis every yeare upon his feast day which falls upon the 4. of Octob. comes down from Heaven and descending into Purgatory carryeth away with him all those who the yeare before dyed in his habit and desiring by all meanes that their Scapular might not be inferiour but rather in greater request estimation then the habit thinking a yeare too long a time for poore soules to be tormented in those flames they obtained a priviledge as they tell us but most falsly from the Sea Apostolick that their scapularists should stay no longer then a week at the most but every Saturday should be delivered thence So as I do not a little wonder wherfore the Friars of S. Francis Order in Limericke of late should with so great vehemency and as it were with a new heat set on foot that former pre●ended indult of a yearely manumission upon S. Francis day of all such as dyed in their habit be●o●e The particulars of which history curious Reader if thou desire to under stand I will not spare to impart unto thee and that in such manne as was related unto me by them who were eye and c●re-witnesses of the whole businesse with all the circumstances thereunto belonging Philip Horrow Parish Priest of S. Iohn Baptists in the South part of Limerick second Vicar generall unto the Bishop of Limericke whose name is Ri. Arthure preached upon S. Francis his day the 4 of October namely 1633 in the house of the Franciscans and among many other prayses of S. Francis said that the Saint did every S. Francis day descend from heaven to Purgatory and deliver from thence all the soules of such as have taken S. Francis habit in their life-time This was contradicted by the Dominitans and the Iesuites of Limericke thereupon the Vicar generall Philip Horrow was called before the Bishop before his adversaryes being questioned about that doctrine which he had delivered He said for his part he did not firmely believe it but yet he cited two authors of the Franciscans for it These were Onuphrins Mariscal Bartholomens Pisanus whereupon he and his adversaryes were reconeiled by the Bishop enjoyned not to speak any more of that opinion But the Guardian of the Franciscans in Limericke Friar Francis Wolf hearing this prepared himselfe to preach of that subject on the 29 of December last which is the Sonday infra oc●avan● Nativitatis Domini but the Bishop hearing therof being most vigilant carefull of the peace concord of his flock sent his Arch-deacon Father Iordan Bourk Father William Sauvegan his Chantor first to intreat the said Guardian not to speak any word of that controversie next to command him not to preach thereof The which message they delivered unto the said Guardian upon Saturday night before his Sermon and he with some coloured speech made them believe he would obey yet the next morning he preached the same opinion with great vehemency cum sale mordicante against the other Regulars Heereupon the Bishop called all his Clergy of the Citty and the Regulars together the 15. of Ian. very late at night there the Regulars especially Friar Terence O Brian Prior of the Dominicans in Limerick and Friar William Crah superiour of the Iesuites also in Limerick accused the said Guardian of the Franciscans aswell for that opinion as also for his unseemely language against others that gainsayd that doctrine whereupon the said Guardian after some frivolous excuses given by him was commaunded by the Bishop not to preach any more within his Diocesse without his especiall license He cited no moe Authors for the same opinion but those which were cited by the Vicar Philip Horrow And thus have you the true relation of such troubles as hapned among our Church-men of Limerick this last Winter about the priviledges of the Franciscan habit in which as in a map you first behold the venters broachers of false doctrines in the person of the Vicar general the Guardian of the Franciscans In the second place is presented unto you the office of a good Pastor the carefull performance of his duty in the Bish of the Diocesse Thirdly you are to observe the còmendable obedience of the Vicar general unto his Ordinary being admonished of his fault Fourthly you may note detest the intollerable pride schismaticall disobedience of Friar Francis Wolfe Guardian of the Franciscans who being praadmonished by the Diocesan not to preach such
