holsome Sacramēt of the body bloud of our Lord Sauiour Iesus Christ euery priest that is duly called ordained according to the rules of the Church and intendeth to consecrate may by obseruing the vsual forme of words vsed in the consecration make the true body of Christ of a peece of wheaten bread and of wine his right and perfect bloud And this Sacrament the same Lord Iesus Christ in the night before he suffered his bitter passion did celebrate with his disciples consecrating it and ordaining that it should euer after be celebrated and eaten in remembrance of him It behoueth euery one that receiueth this Sacrament to bee strong in faith that he may beleeue and credit these thirteene things following First that he beleeue the transmutation or transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the body and bloud of Christ Secondly that though this be done euery day yet is not the body of Christ thereby augmented Thirdly that the body of Christ is not diminished though it be eatē euery day Fourthly that though this Sacrament be deuided into many parts that yet the whole and intire body of Christ remaineth in euery little particle Fiftly that though it be eaten of wicked malicious men yet is not the Sacrament thereby defiled Sixtly that to those which receiue it worthily as they ought it bringeth saluation eternal damnation to those which receiue it vnworthily Seuenthly that when it is eaten it conuerteth not into the nature property of him that eateth it as other meate doth but rather conuerteth the eater into the nature of the Sacrament rightly that being eaten it is taken vp into heauen without hurt Ninthly that in euery little forme of bread and wine is comprehended the great and incomprehensible God and Man Christ Iesus Tenthly that one and the same body of Christ is receiued and taken at one moment in diuers places of diuers men and vnder a diuers forme Eleuenthly that the substance of the bread being turned into the true body of Christ and the substance of the wine into his bloud the natural accidents of bread and wine doe yet remaine and that they are not receiued in forme of flesh and bloud Twelfthly that vnto those that eate it worthily it bringeth twelue great commodities which are expressed in these verses following Inflammat memorat substentat roborat auget Hostin spem purgat reficit vitam dat vnit Confirmat fidem minuit fomitemque remittit The effect whereof is that the hoast inflameth remembreth sustaineth strengthneth and augmenteth our hope It purgeth refresheth quickneth and vniteth It confirmeth our faith and mitigateth and vtterly quencheth in vs all concupiscence Lastly that it is wonderfull good and profitable for all those for whom the priest specially offereth it as a sacrifice be they liuing or dead and that therefore it is called the communion or Sacrament of the Eucharist In the beginning of Christian religion yet in some places there was consecrated at one time such a loafe of bread as being afterwards cut into small mamocks by the priest and laid vpon a sawcer or plate might well serue all the communicants that were present at the sacrifice and at that time did Christians communicate thereof dayly And afterwards they were limitted to receiue it only vpon sundaies but when the Church perceiued that this sacrament was not taken euery sunday so worthily and with such due obseruation as was sitting it was ordained that euery Christian man of perfect reason vnderstanding should with all diligence he could and with his best preparation both of body and soule receiue the same thrice a yeere or at the least euery yeere once at Easter as also when hee found himselfe in any danger of death as a ready preparatiue against al perils by which name it is often called 5 Matrimony which is a lawfull coniunction of man and wife instituted and ordained by the law of God the law of nature the law of nations is the fift Sacrament and the holy fathers in Christian piety haue commanded that but one marriage shall be solemnized at one time and that it shal not be done in secret but publikely either in the Church or Church-porch but most commonly in the Church-porch where the priest meeting the parties that are to be married first asketh of the man and then of the woman whether they be willing to be contracted who answering that they are content and agreed which is a thing most necessary in that Sacrament he taketh them by the right hands ioyning them togither in the name of the blessed and indeuided trinity in vnity the Father Sonne and holy Ghost hee admonisheth and exhorteth them that being euer mindefull of this vnion and holy communion they neuer after forsake one an other but to liue in mutual loue honor and obedience one to an other that they should not desire one an others company for lust but for procreation of children and that they should bring vp their children honestly carefully and in the feare of God this done he marrieth them with the ring and sprinkleth holy water on them and then putting on his stole which is thither brought him he leadeth them into the church and causing them to kneele humbly before the Altar there blesseth them if they were not blessed before the woman when she is married hath her haire tied vp with a red fillet or headband and a white veile ouer it without which veile or head couer it is neuer lawful for her after that time to goe abroad or to be in the company of men There be twelue impediments that hinder marriage before it be solemnized and dissolue it after it is contracted that is to say the error or mistaking of either party the breach of some condition kindred a manifest offence disparity of religion violence or forcible rauishment from their parents holy orders breach of reputation publike defamation affinity and dissability to performe the act of matrimony 6 The sixt Sacrament of the church is penance which is giuen by Christ as a second repaire of our shipwrake and euery Christian man is bound vndoubtedly to belceue that this Sacrament consisteth of these foure things to wit repentance for sins past cannonical confession absolution and satisfaction for he that will be partaker of this Sacrament must first of al repent be sorrowful in his very soule that through his grieuous and heinous sins hee hath lost that purity and innocency which he once had either by the Sacrament of Baptisme or by this Sacramēt formerly

other for that the whole world is the vniuersall Temple and open Sanctuary of God And that those which build and erect Churches Monasteries and Oratories do goe about to restraine and limit Gods power and Maiesty That Preests Vestiments Ornaments for the Altar Palls surplices Chalices Patines and such other like vessells are trifles and trash of no moment and that the Priest hath power to consecrate the body of our Lord at all times and in euery place and to minister it to those which desire it and that it is sufficient onely to prouonce the words of consecration That we ought not to pray to Saints to be intercessors for vs vnto Christ and that it is lost time that is spent in singing or saying the Canonicall houres That no dayes should be kept holy from labour but the Lords day only that no feast daies should bee celebrated in honour of the Saints and that by the institutions of the Church fasting is of no merit The report also is that the Boemian Priests do minister the Sacrament of the body of our Lord vnto infants and to all others indifferently vnder both formes which is a greater sacrifice than that which is vsed in the Church of Rome and one George Poggebratius is saidt o be the Author of this Ministration One Picardus comming out of France infected this nation with this monstrous and abhominable madnesse for hee hauing intised a great number of the baser sort both of men and women to bee his followers instructed them to goe naked and as the author of all licentious liuing called them Addamites by whose instructions venery was openly practised without difference of kindred or allyance and many other most horrible offences some of which sect are said to remayne as yet for there bee some Bohemians which bee therefore called Gruebenhamer which choose out for the excercising of their religion vautes and hollow caues in the ground and when their Priest according to their custome hath pronoūced this part of Genesis crescite et multiplicamini et replete terram that is increase and multiply and replenish the earth instantly they put out all their lights and fall to their lechery in the darke euery man with the woman hee first lighteth vpon without respect of age or kindred and when they haue finished their busiesse they light their lights againe and goe euery one into his owne place and so bee their ceremonies ended This execrable custome of that damnable sect is not much different frō those feasts called Bacchanalia which are first celebrated in Hetruria and afterwards in Rome by women in the night time who hauing pampered them-selues with wine and banketting accompanied with men in secret corners without difference or respect either of kindred or age whereby grew such confusion as oftentimes the mothers were defiled by their owne children and many other enormous villanies were perpetrated and done which they tooke their beginning as from the warehouse of all wickednesse The ringleaders of this preposterous celebration were first cut of at Rome when Quintus Martius Philippus and Posthumius Albinus were consulls as Sabellicus reporteth in his first Aenead and seauenth booke but this irreligious impiety and horrible heresie of the Boemians could not bee extirpated and rooted out in the raigne of foure Kings Veneceslaus Sigismundus Albertus and Vladislaus although they opposed them-selues against it with all their force and power Of Germany and of the customes of the Germaines CAP. 12. GERMANY is the largest nation of all Europ it lieth farre North and is deuided from France with the riuer of Rheyne from Rhetia and Pannonia with the riuer Danubius from Sarmatia and Dacia with certaine hills but more with the feare which one nation hath of the other and vpon all other sides it is inclosed with the ocean But the limits of Germany at this day exceed these bounds extend further comprehending vnder that name Rhetia Vindelitia Norica the vpper Pannonia the Alpes part of Illiria euen to the gates of the Citty of Trent All the country of Belgia in like sort which was heretofore vnder the French gouernment and all about the riuer of Rheyne are vnited to the Germaines imbracing both their law and language and forgetting or not daring or else scorning to call themselues French The Heluetians likewise by little and little haue almost lost both their name and speach and become perfect Germaines Germany challengeth as her own a great part of transalpine France besides all these the souldiers of Germany haue within the space of three hundred yeares brought vnder their subiection the Prutenia barbarous and cruell nation waining them from the worshiping of Idols to their owne language and the Christian religion this country therefore as now it is compared vnto what it was before it will appeare that it hath added more to it selfe from forraine nations then was formerly comprehended in his owne limits All Germany was once deuided into two parts wherof that part which is nearest vnto the Alpes was called the higher Germany the other the lower which lieth northward and towards the Ocean this partition doth yet continue and the higher part is now called Alemania as some thinke of a certaine lake or riuer called Alemanus and each of these parts consisteth of sundry Prouinces for the higher Germany going vpwards from the riuer Moganus which runneth along by Franconia containeth Dauaria Austria Styria Athesis Rhetia Heluetia Sueuia Alsatia and the Prouince of Rheine vnto the citty Mentz in Almania The inferior or lower Germany hath in it Franconia a good part wherof towards the South is held to be in high Germany Hassia Lotharingia Brabant Gelderland Zeiland Holland Frysland Flanders Westphalia Saxonie Dacia Peninsula Pomeranià Liuonia Prussia Sletia Morauia Boemia Mysnia Marchia and Thuringia Germany although some parte thereof seemed better than other was first as Cornelius Tacitus writeth for the most part ether ouer-growne with woods or rouer-flown with waters being more base and barren to wards France and more subiect to stormes and tempests towards Noricum Styria Pannonia so that it yeelded neither fruite nor grayne onely it bred good store of cattell but such as were both little and low gold and siluer it affordeth none and therefore as a poore and base county it was dispised and very little regarded But surely Cornelius was either much deceyued or else the country is much altered from what it then was for Germany at this day is so pleasant and so plentifull of all things so beautified strengthened and addorned with famous Citties strong Castels and stately buildings as it is nothing inferior either to France Spaine or Italy for the heauens smyle vpon them the fields affords them store of fruites the Sunne solaceth him selfe amongst her hills shee hath whole mountaines of vynes woods at wil and all kinde of graine in abundance being watred on all sides with Rhene Danubius Moganus Albis Neccharus Sala Odera and with many
