A06744	The displaying of the Popish masse vvherein thou shalt see, what a wicked idoll the masse is, and what great difference there is between the Lords Supper and the Popes Masse: againe, what Popes brought in every part of the masse, and counted it together in such monstrous sort, as it is now used in the Popes kingdome. Written by Thomas Becon; and published in the dayes of Queene Mary.	Becon, Thomas, 1512-1567.	1637 (1637)	STC 1719; ESTC S115076	56,616	332

taken away from thee and the stinking dung of the Pope most miserable cast upon thee Lament thy sinnes O England lament lament Returne to the Lord thy God and most humbly beseech him once againe to looke upon thee with his mercifull countenance to take away these popish dregs to restore unto thee his lively Word and to blesse thee again with the true ministration of his holy Sacraments that thou maist serve the L O R D thy God in holinesse and righteousnesse all the dayes of thy life This doctrine that the Sacrament of the Altar as you terme it is the true naturall reall carnall corporal and substantiall bodie of Christ is the dream of Antichrist the Bishop of Rome and was never received in the Church till Pope Leo Pope Nicholas Pope Innocent Pope Honorius and Pope Vrban through their tyranny brought it in and compelled the Christians with fire and fagot as the manner of the tyrannicall Papists is to receive their abomihable doctrine and yet in all ages God stored up some to confesse the true doctrine of the Sacrament against Antichrist even unto the death Neither is this popish doctrine so ancient as the Papists bragge For it is not much more than five hundred yeares since their g●osse opinion of the Sa●rament began first to be attempted And although Pope Nicholas the second di● much in the matter yet was it not thorowly received nor agreed upon untill Pope Innocent the third came which about the yeare of our Lord 1215. kept a Councell at Rome called Latronense I would say Lateranense concilium where were gathered together a swarme of Papists about the number of thirteen hundred pild pates of the which number eight hundred and odde were Monkes Canons and Fryers chickens of the Popes owne brood Last of all came Pope Vrban the Monke in the yeare of our Lord 1264. and he made up all the market For he ordained a Feast called Corpus Christi in the honour of the Sacrament so that ever after that time the Sacrament was no more taken for a signe figure and token of Christs bodie but for Christ himselfe God and man and therefore was it reverenced worshipped censed and kneeled unto as yee teach the people to doe at your unsacred Sakerings and so are yee their schoolmasters to learn them to commit Idolatrie against their Lord God but let us goe foorth with our matter After our Saviour CHRIST had delivered the Sacramentall bread to his Disciples for to eat hee tooke the Cuppe and thanked and gave it them saying Drinke yee all of this For this is my bloud which is of the new Testament that is shed for many for the remission of sinnes This doe as oft as yee drinke it in the remembrance of mee Here CHRIST delivered to his Disciples holy wine I call it holy because it was dedicated and appointed to an holy use which hee made the Sacrament of his bloud And they all dranke of it And here is to bee marked by the way that our Saviour CHRIST afore seeing that there should arise false annointed that would take away from the people the Sacrament of his bloud bade them all drinke of it All all without exception even so many as beleeve on him spirituall or temporall as they call them Are not yee Popish shavelings these false annointed Have you not taken away the Cup of the LORDS bloud from the Lay people and reserved it to your selves alone Doe not ye minister the Sacrament of Christs bodie and bloud to the Lay people under one kinde onely cleane contrary to Christs institution O GOD-robbers O spoilers of Christian mens soules Neither can ye abide that the people should touch your Pope-holy Chalice when they drinke the wine but ye your selves holding the chalice in your own hands give them drinke as though they were babes of three dayes old and could not put the Cuppe to their mouth O tender and jealous nurses In the primative Church and many hundred yeares after as we may see in the monuments of learned men the Sacrament according to Christs institution was received of the people under both kindes untill Antichrist the Biship of Rome by his divellish decree determined the contrary at the Councell of Constance not much more than an hundred years past Pope Gelasius made a godly Decree that those people that would not receive the Sacrament under both kindes should receive none at all but be put away from the Lords Table The Greekes and Bohemes with all that be not under the tyranny of the Pope of Rome and of his wicked Lawes receive the Sacrament under both kinds at this day according to Christs institution Where the contrary is used there reigneth the Devill and the Pope and not Christ and his holy Word But now let us behold your doings After that yee have committed Idolatrie with the sacramentall bread if it be worthy of that name ye fall in hand to consecrate I use still your owne termes the wine with these words In like manner after Supper was done hee tooke this noble chalice that is a lye for Christ never handled that chalice into his holy and worshipful hands and after hee had given thankes to the Father he blessed here fall ye to crossing againe and gave it to his Disciples saying Take yee and drinke yee all of this For this is the cup of my bloud a new and everlasting Testament a mystery of faith w ch shall be shed for you and for many for the remission of sinnes So oft as yee shall doe these things yee shall doe them in the remembrance of me How many words have ye put in here of your owne braine ye shall easily perceive if yee compare them with the words which our Saviour CHRIST spake But for as much as they do not greatly disagree frō the truth of Gods word I will not strive with you in this behalfe though I would wish you once to deale faithfully and truely in all your doings but specially whē you have to doe with God seeing it is written Put nothing to the words of God lest hee reprove thee and thou bee found a lyar After the aforesaid words spoken in hocker mocker yee breathe and blow and shake your head over the Chalice and then yee kneele downe lift up your hands and honour it like most abhominable Idolaters After that yee stand up againe like pretty fellowes and well appointed and taking the Chalice in your hands yee hold it up with heave howe above your heathenish heads that the people also may worship it and bee fellow Idolaters with you and fall into the like danger of everlasting damnation This done yee set the Chalice downe againe upon the Altar and yee cover it with your Corporasse cloath for catching of cold Then once againe kneele ye downe and up againe like dive doppers and kisse the Altar and spread your armes abroad as though

they bee here recited was Pope Alexander about the yeare of our Lord 112. Here doe yee not rehearse the words truely as our Saviour CHRIST spake them Some words yee added and some yee have taken away But I much marvell at your grosse ignorance in this one thing Yee put a difference betweene Blessing and Thankesgiving For when yee rehearse this word Be●edixit he blessed you crosse and blesse the bread with your greasie fingers as though Christs blessing in that place were the wagging of his fingers and not rather thankesgiving For where Saint Marke hath Cum Benedixisset When he had blessed Saint Matthew Luke and Paul hath Cum Gratias egisset When he had given thankes So that to blesse after Markes phrase is nothing else than to give thankes to praise and to magnifie And so is it taken in divers places of the holy Scriptures both in the old and new Testament Again ye put to these foure words of Christ Hoc est corpus meum this word Enim and ye say Hoc est enim carpus 〈◊〉 one word more than ever Christ put in because ye may be found still as ye are even abominable liars But for putting in this one word Enim which is of so great vertue say ye that without it there can bee no perfect Consecration and then what is to bee thought I pray you of Christ and of his Apostles of the Primative Church and of the Greekes at this day which never used that word being your owne superfluous addition yee most wickedly leave out these most necessary words that CHRIST spake which is betrayed for you Doe this in the remembrance of mee This joyfull promise that Christs body was betrayed given and broken for us with the residue ye leave out as a thing pertaining nothing to the purpose And yet are they so necessary that without the knowledge of them the Sacrament profiteth nothing at all If I receive the Sacrament a thousand times yet if I know not to what use it was instituted of Christ what profits and benefits I have by the worthy receiving of it If I doe not set before the eyes of my minde the death of Christ and faithfully beleeve to have remission forgivenesse of al my sins by the breaking of Christs body by the sheadding of his most pretious bloud c. it profiteth me no more thā the pretious stone did profit Aesops Cock Again those words which Christ spake openly to his Disciples unto their great joy and comfort you partly leave out and partly whisper in hocker mocker to your selves that no man may bee the better for your doings and that the people may bee kept still in blindnesse Our Saviour CHRIST saith What I tell you in darkenesse that speake yee in light And what ye heare in the eare that preachye on the house tops But ye doe cleane contrary For that which Christ spake openly to his Disciples ye mutter it softly to your selves O cruell soule-slayers and bloudie murtherers But is this your dexterity uprightnes and true dealing with the Word of God So to corrupt and mangle the words of the glorious Testament of the Sonne of God It is not lawfull to alter a mortall mans Testament and dare ye presume O yee Antichrists to alter and change the blessed Testament and heavenly will of the King of Glory Are ye faithfull Ministers which deale so unfaithfully with your Lord and Master Ye that deale so wickedly with God how wil ye deale with man God keepe all faithfull people out of your clawes After ye have once spoken these five words Hoc est enim corpus meum over the bread and have blasted breathed and blowed upon it yee kneele down to it and worship it like abominable Idolaters and afterward ye hold it up above your pestilent pilde shaven shamelesse heads that the people by looking upon it and worshipping it may be partakers also of your abominable Idolatry not being contented with your own damnable estate except ye bring other also into the same danger The Author of your levation lifting the bread above your head was Pope Honori the third about the yeare of our LORD 1 10. which commanded that the Host should bee lifted up above the Priests head at Masse and that all the people should fall downe and worship it O Antichrist Here may all men see how ancient a thing your holy sakering is which is counted the best and chiefest part of your Masse when notwithstanding it is the most wicked and most abhominable part of your idolatrous Masse Verily it is not much more than three hundred yeares old Let the lying Papists therfore bee ashamed to brag that their divellish Masse came from the Apostles seeing it is proved to be a new and late invention of Antichrist And although the whole Masse of the Papists be utterly wicked and abhominable yet this part which they call the Sakering is most wicked and abominable for as much as it provoketh the people that are present to commit most detestable Idolatries For the people take it to be their god They beleeve that bread w ch the Priest heaveth above his head to bee Christ perfect God perfect man Therfore kneel they down unto it knocke their breasts lift up their heads worshippe and honour it When the Bel once rings if they cannot conveniently see they forsake their seats and runne from Altar to Altar from Sakering to Sakering peeping here and tooting there and gazing at that thing which the pilde-pate Priest holdeth up in his hands And if the Priest bee weake in the armes and heave not up high enough the rude people of the Countrey in divers parts of England will crie out to the Priest hold up Sir Iohn hold up Heave it a little higher And one will say to another Stoupe downe thou fellow afore that I may see my Maker For I cannot be merry except I see my LORD GOD once in a day O abomination Ah Woe worth you yee Masse-mongers that are the authors of this abominable Idolatrie and through your wicked massing send thousands to the Devill except the mercy of God bee the greater Better were ●e Masse-mongers to leave your fat Benefices your rich Prebeuds your wealthy Deanries your honourable Chaplainships your long Gownes your Sarsene● Tiopets and your shaven crownes and become watertankard-bearers in London or to cobble a shoo or goe to plough and cart yea to have a milstone tyed about your neck and be cast into the bottome of the sea than your most stinking wicked and vile massing to provoke so many people unto Idolatry and to bring the wrath of God and everlasting damnation upō them except they repent and amend Verily I say unto you it shall bee easier for the Land of So dome at the day of Iudgement than for you But I know what yee will say That we hold up is the very
