alone XXXIIII Our Sauiour Iesus Christ calleth that which he gaue to his Apostles the fruit of the vine ¶ On the contrary side in the Church of Rome they teach that it is not the fruit of the vine but bloud XXXV S. Paul saies that hee brake bread in the Lords Supper 1. Cor. 10. 16. In the 10. chap. 11. with these words the bread which wee breake and himselfe fiue times together saith that we eate bread ¶ On the contrary side in the Church of Rome they teach that it is not bread but Iesus Christ as great and as tall as hee was vpon the Crosse and moreouer in breaking him with their teeth they breake him not but remaineth whole in euery part peece of the host or Sacrament 1. Cor. 10. 20. They call the Supper the washing of the Poores feet XXXVI S. Paul calleth the Sacrament which Christ ministred to his Apostles the Supper of the Lord but in the Church of Rome at this day there is a number of Masses different in ceremonies different in the end and purpose for which they S Geneviefue the Patronesse of Paris are made which are high or low dry or current there haue you a Masse for S. Geneuiefue S. Michael and others XXXVII Beside these doctrines and many more contrary directly to the word of God and besides those which are not contained in the holy Scriptures but inuented by men vnder the name of Traditions there remaineth as yet a meruailous abuse committed in the ceremonies of the Romane Church of the which some are superfluous and ridiculous other some contrary and repugnant to the honour of God and his word all in general excessiue in number yet held more necessarie then doctrine it selfe The superfluous and ridiculous ceremonies amongst others are those which the Priest obserues in the Masse in the which hee maketh a thousand turnings faigneth to sleepe mutters out his words softly makes his taile to be lifted vp causeth a bell to be sounded c. Item the salt and spettle in baptisme the blowe and the band which the Bishop giueth in the confirmation In like maner those which the Pope obserueth in the Procession causing God to be caried vpon a Hackney with a Lanterne before him to giue him light together with many such like absurdities The ceremonies contrarie to the word of God are no fewer in number as when the Priest turneth his backe to the people lifteth vp the Host behinde muttereth out the words of Consecration for feare to be vnderstoode speaketh in an vnknowne tongue c. For Iesus Christ hath done the quite contrary vnto this as also the adoration of the Host is cleane contrary to that which the Apostles did who sate at the Table not adoring it acknowledging as it were that it was not God which they receaued and eated and that they offered not any sacrifice propitiatory of this kind are so many feasts which fight with the law of God the which saith Sixe dayes shall thou labour c. But the wont is that these ceremonies Exod 20. and humane intentions are placed aboue the word of God and his Commandements for he that hath blasphemed the name of God shal not be so abominable vnto them as he that eateth flesh on good Friday which neuerthelesse is the day on the which Christ ordinarily did eate the Paschal Lambe and holy dayes with them are celebrated and reuerenced with more solemnity then Sunday and at Rome it is a lesse matter to be a despiser of God and be giuen to vnnaturall vices then to detract from the Popes holinesse For this latter point a man is burned quicke and the people are instructed to talke of Procession Chapelots or Beades Images Reliques Iubilies ornaments of Altars c but of the mysteries of our redemption of the sauing grace in Iesus Christ and the whole doctrine of the holy Scriptures they are wholly ignorant and are to them as clasped bookes XXXVIII To conclude I abhorre the pride of the Pope and do not see that he doth any thing that S. Peter did of whom he stiles himselfe successour neither that S. Peter did any thing which the Pope now doth For S. Peter preached the Gospell with patience zeale and pouerty ¶ On the contrary side the Lib. de ceremonijs Sacris cap. de receptione regis et cap. de fest Papal Pope preacheth not at all but giueth and taketh away Kingdomes causes himselfe to be carried vpon the shoulders of men makes Kings hold his bridle Emperours kisse his Pantable nay he maketh his houshold seruants and Cardinals goe before Kings he neuer saluteth any man nor doth euer reuerence to any man hee pulleth soules out of Purgatorie absolueth and dispenseth with Oathes promises made vnto God he weareth a triple diademe and giueth pardons for Lib. 1. de cerem Sac. can Satis in distinct 96 can nos iusticiā de immunit in 6.
