nos inducas in tentationem Sed libera nos a malo Oremus DOmine Jesu Christe qui pro salute humani generis quinque vulnera pati voluisti tribue qua sumus ut ob reverentiam illorum vulnerum tuoorum absolvi mereamur ab omnibus peccatis nostris da praesentem vitam bono fine terminari a tuae dulcissimae visionis contemplatione nunquam sepaparari Oremus DEus qui manus tuas pedes tuos totum corpus tuum pro nobis peccatoribus in ligno crucis posuisti coronam spineam a Judaeis in despectum tui sacratissimi nominis super caput tuum impositam sustinuisti quinque vulnera pro nobis peccatoribus in ligno crucis passus fuisti da nobis hodie quotidie usum poenitentiae abstinentiae patientiae humilitatis castitatis lumen sensum intellectum puram conscientiam usque in finem Per te Jesu Christe Salvator mundi Qui cum Patre Spiritu sancto vivis regnas Deus Per omnia saecula saeculorum Amen We have here added the Profession of our Faith which is often to be read to confirm our selves in the belief of the holy Church to exercise and increase our Faith and obtain the effect of our Prayers the impetration thereof being attributed to Faith A PROFESSION OF THE Catholick Faith Set out according to the Decrees of the holy Council of Trent IAB Do with a stead fast Faith Believe and Profess all and every Point contained in the Symbol of the Faith that the holy Roman Church doth use to wit I do believe in one God the Father Almighty Maker of Heaven and Earth of all things both visible and invisible And in one Lord Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God and born of the Father before all Worlds God of God Light of Light true God of true God begotten and not made of the same substance with the Father by whom all things were made who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven and was Incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary and was made man was crucisied also for us under Pontius Pilate suffered and was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures and ascended up to Heaven sitteth at the right hand of the Father and he shall come again with Glory to judge the quick and the dead of whose Kingdom there shall be no end And in the Holy Ghost our Lord and giver of Life who proceedeth from the Father and the Son who with the Father and the Son together is adored and conglorified who spake by the Prophets And in one holy Catholick and Apostolick Church I profess one Baptism for the remission of sins And I expect the Resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come Amen I do steadfastly admit and embrace the Traditions of the Apostles and of the Church and all other Observations and Constitutions of the same Church I do also admit the holy Scriptures according to that sense which our holy Mother the Catholick Church hath held and doth hold to whom it appertaineth to judge of the true sense and interpretation of the holy Scriptures neither will I ever understand nor interpret the same otherwise then according to the uniform consent of the Fathers I do also profess that there be truly and properly seven Sacraments of the new Law instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord and necessary for the salvation of mankind although all be not necessary for every one to wit Baptism Confirmation Extream Vnction Order and Matrimony and these Sacraments do give Grace and that of them Baptism Confirmation and Order cannot be reiterated without Sacriledge I do also receive and admit all the received and approved Ceremonies of the Catholick Church in the solemn administration of all the aforesaid Sacraments I do receive and embrace all and every of the things which in the holy Council of Trent have been defined and declared touching Original sin and Justification I do profess also that in the Mass is offered up to God a true proper and propitiatory Sacrifice for the living and dead and that in the most holy Sacrament of the Altar there is truly really and substantially the body and blood together with the Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ And that there is made a Conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the Body and of the whole substance of the wine into the Blood which Conversion the holy Church calls Transubstantiation I do also confess that under either form only is received Christ whole and entire and the true Sacrament I do constantly hold that there is Purgatory and that the Souls which be there detained are holpen by Prayers of the Faithful Also that the Saints who raign together with Christ are to be honored and called upon and that they offer up prayers to God for us and that their Reliques are to be reverenced and honoured I do most steadfastly affirm that the Images of Christ of the Mother of God always Virgin and of all Saints are to be had and retained and that due honor and reverence is to be given them I affirm that the authority of Indulgences was left by Christ in the Church and that the use of them is very behoofeful for Christian People I do acknowledge the holy Catholick and Apostolick Roman Church to be the Mother and Mistriss of all Churches And I do promise and swear true obedience to the Bishop of Rome who is the Successor of St. Peter Prince of the Apostles and Vicar of Jesus Christ And all other things also defined and declared by the holy Canons and Oecumenical Councils and chiefly by the holy Council of Trent I do undoubtedly receive and profess And also all contrary things and whatsoever Heresies condemned and accursed by the Church I likewise do condemn reject and accurse This true Catholick Faith without which no man can be saved now I willingly and truly hold the same A.

HEAVEN OPENED And the Pains of Purgatory AVOIDED BY THE Very great Indulgences Of the two most Illustrious Arch-Confraternities The One Of our Blessed Lady called the ROSARY And the Other Of the Seraphical Father St. FRANCIS called The Cord of the Passion Printed in the Year 1663. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE AND MOST REVEREND THE LORD Walter Mountague Great Almoner to the QUEEN Mother And Abbot of St. Martin and Nantheüil in France MY LORD THis little Treatise is due to your Lordship and to none else For it containeth wonderful Priviledges and easie Obligations of Two not onely the most Noble and Excellent but likewise the most Profitable Arch-Confraternities that have ever been in Gods Church viz. The Arch-Confraternity of our Blessed Lady called the Rosary and the Arch-Confraternity of our Seraphical Father Saint Francis Though the whole Church of Somerset-house and the Riches and Ornaments which raise its Splendor publish to the World the Queen Mothers great Piety Yet notwithstanding the Chappel of the holy Rosary is in some sort Yours by a special Grant from Her Majesty It seemes there was an Holy strife between Her Royal Zeal and Your excellent Fervor concerning the Decoration of that most Sacred Place And after so Vertuous a Contest the Queens Humility suffered it self to be overcome by Your Fervour condescending that Your Pious Devotion to our Blessed Lady should cause You even in your absence to adorn and enrich that August Chappel at Your proper Cost Now for us Capucins since we have the Honor to wear the holy Weed of St. Francis to profess his Rule and to be his Children and You my Lord as Her Majesties Great Almoner being our Superiour You are likewise Superiour of the Arch-Confraternity of our Seraphical Father This little Book therefore being in so many respects due to You it would be an act of Injustice to offer it to any other To avoid which I here present it to Your Lordship and with it the hearty services respects and submissions of all the Capucins and particularly of My LORD Your most humble and obedient Servant F. Cyprien Capucin Chaplaine to the Queen Mother THE PREFACE THe Queen Mothers Extraordinary Piety having once more settled the Noble Church of Somerset-House hath also given way to the re-settling of the most Illustrious Arch-Confraternity of our Blessed Lady commonly called the Rosary in which about Thirty years ago She was at her own desire Enrolled her humility being such that She vouchsafed to be called a Sister of the same But this is not sufficient it is moreover requisite that the wonderful Priviledges and easie Obligations of that holy Arch-confraternity should be made known I being resolved therefore to set them forth happily met with a Book concerning that matter written and published by a Pious and Learned Priest of the Order of St. Bennet out of which I have collected what was necessary for our purpose and disposed it as followeth HEAVEN OPENED And the Pains of Purgatory AVOIDED c. The Eminency and Holiness of our Blessed Lady THe Perfections Attributes Priviledges and Prerogatives of our Blessed Lady are such and so great that it is impossible for any one in this world I will not say to express but even to comprehend them Nevertheless that we may conceive something thereof let us consider 1. That She was Appointed Designed and Predestinated by the Holy Trinity from all Eternity to be the Worthy Mother of the Word Incarnate 2. That her Birth was not only praefigured promised and prophesied of but foretold also by an Angel appearing to her sterile Parents immediately before her Conception 3. That being born free from all sin she led a life so full of Sanctity so singular in all Purity so excellent in all Perfections that she deserved saith St. Augustine through Her Creators Mercy to be chosen the Mother of Gods Son 4. That she was a Mother yet remaining a Virgin even the Mother of God which is an Attribute alone containing whatsoever is Great Glorious and Excellent St. Gregory Neocesariensis in his second Sermon of the Anuntiation saith That the sense of this only Word Gods Mother exceeds all other Encomiums which Men or Angels can confer upon Her Being Gods Mother She is United to a term of an Infinite perfection and in a certain manner Elevated to a Divine Order saith St. Thomas par 1. qu. 25. art 6. ad 4. Saint Chrysostome in his Sermon of the Blessed Virgin calleth her the Miracle and the Miracle of Miracles And Saint John Damascen in his first Oration of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin an Abysse of Miracles The Christians Devotion to our Blessed Lady THe Devotion of all faithful Christians towards the Holy Virgin Mary is as Antient as our Faith and Christianity it self She being Constituted our Mother by the bequest of her Blessed Son when on the Cross he uttered these words to St. John and in his person to all Christians Son behold thy Mother whereupon St. Bernard saith If Mary be thy Mother O Christian then is Jesus thy Brother then Christs Father is thy Father then his Heaven is thy Inheritance then Maries Grace is thy Treasure for Mothers usually lay up treasures for their Children then she is sensible of all thy sufferings solicitous to supply thy wants and careful to provide for thy necessities for a Mother is tender over her Children therefore O Christian make choice of Mary for thy Mother I well know saith the antient Father Theophylact that thou O most glorious Queen Mother art the great Protectrix of mankind and who is he that having placed his confidence in thee hath remained confounded Let us therefore to her make our humble addresses in all our necessities since she is so powerful to assist us so merciful to admit us and so ready to relieve us O Beatissima saith S. Anselm Arch-Bp of Cant. sicut omnis à te aversus à te de spectus necesse est ut intereat ita omnis ad te conversus à te respectus impossibile est ut pereat As he O most blessed Mary must needs perish who turneth his back to thee and whom thou rejectest from thy favours so it is impossible that he should perish that is zealous of thy honour and whom thou vouchsafest to behold and countenance I hold saith Origen as an assured verity that the Virgin Mary will never abandon that person that implores her assistance in the time of his necessity for she is full of goodness full of mercy and full of grace and therefore cannot refuse to compassionate him that calleth upon her The Practise of the Rosary is an excellent Devotion to our Blessed Lady IF we consider the holy Rosary Prerogatives we shall find that it far exceeds all other sorts of devotion of this nature Though every zealous Christian may so duly diligently and with such perseverance practise his devotions in his own private Oratory as to arrive at the perfection of vertue and the

quintus Consueverunt Greg. 13. Pastoris aeterni and Sixtus quintus Dum ineffabilia extend to all other Confraternities of the Rosary throughout the world 2. As oft as they shall say cause to be said or are present at the Mass of the Rosary celebrated for that intention they free a Soul out of Purgatory 3. All the Indulgences granted to the living may be applied to the dead by communicating saying Mass of the Rosary reciting the Rosary c. for them Paulus 3.13 Aug. 1537. See John Carthagen homilia 6. de Rosario X. For them who cannot be present SUch Brethren and Sisters of the Rosary who by reason of sickness journey imprisonment persecution service distance danger or any other lawful impediment cannot be present at the processions aforesaid nor visit the Altar of the Rosary may notwithstanding gain all the indulgencies as if they were present 1. By confessing and communicating 2. Or by saying the Rosary 3. Or the seven penitential Psalms before some Altar or devout Picture Greg. 13. Ad augendam devotionem 29. Aug. 1579. Idem in Bulla Cupientes 24. Decemb. 1583. XI Of the Stations of Rome ALl the Indulgences of the Stations of Rome are granted to the Members of the Rosary by visiting upon these dayes five Altars or one only if there be no more and reciting before each Altar five Paters and five Aves or twenty-five before that one Altar Leo 10. Maii 22. 1518. which grant Clement the Seventh recites and comfirms in his brief Etsi temporalium 8. idus Maii 1534. and Paulus 3. Rationi congruit 3. Novemb. 1534. and Pius 5. Inter desiderabilia 28. Junii 1569. XII ANd these are the chief part of that vast Treasure of Indulgences and Priviledges granted to the Arch-Confraternity of the sacred Rosary The rest being of less consequence would we conceive be as tedious to be read as they are indeed needless to be known by them who shall duly consider that besides the particular indulgences which are determined to certain dayes times and places there are others which are general unlimited perpetual and which we shall briefly set before you as a close of this Catalogue of Indulgences I. Every day a Plenary THe first is that they who are of the Rosary in the state of Grace and having a general intention to pray for such ends as are required which are the three conditions absolutely necessary for the obtaining of any of these Indulgences may gain a plenary upon every day in the year and consequently every hour of their whole life by performing any one of these things following 1. Saying the Rosary 2. Celebrating the Mass of the Rosary 3. Causing it to be said 4. Hearing it 5. Visiting five Altars or one if there be no more and saying five Paters and Aves before each Alttar or 25. before the one The Consequence hereof is most clear 1. Because a plenary is annexed to the due performance of these acts of Piety toties quoties how oft soever they are done without any restriction 2. Because at Rome in the Church of St. John Lateran there may be gained a plenary if any one pleases six times every day and in each one of the seven Churches of the Stations all which and all other City Indulgences are granted to all the Brothers and Sisters of the Rosary performing the Devotions aforesaid wheresoever dispersed throughout the whole world by Leo the Tenth 22. Maii 1518. and by the succeeding chief Pastors II. Every day a Soul out of Purgatory THe second is that they may every day praying and being disposed as aforesaid obtain the deliverance of a soul out of Purgatory which directly follows from the former First since all the Indulgences granted to the living may be applyed to the dead Secondly since at Rome there is every day in one part or other of the City the delivery of a soul out of Purgatory The particular grants of all these before recited Indulgences may be seen at large in Peter Louvet Aiphonsus Fernandez Andreas Coppentanius and other Fathers of the Order of St. Dominick who faithfully collected and published them according to their Originals Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo Our grateful hearts O our Eternal King Shall ever of your boundless mercies sing How these Indulgences are to be gained by the Members of the Rosary FIrst these Indulgences are not indifferently obtained by all sorts of persons but by such only as have duly and diligently purified prepared and disposed their souls to receive them by precedent penance or have led their lives in such innocency since their last Confession as that they continue in the state of Grace or have made an act of contrition and detestation of their mortal sins with purpose of confessing them in fit time and avoiding them for the future Secondly that they must obey such other particular commands as the Bulls of Indulgences import that is they must punctually perform the enjoyned actions of Alms-deeds Fastings Prayers Processions Visitations of Altars and all other the works of Devotion and Piety there expressed Thirdly that they must offer up their devotions for these generally recommended ends and intentions in all the concessions of Indulgences 1. For the encrease of Gods honour and glory 2. For the exaltation of the Catholick Church 3. For the prosperity of the Sea Apostolick 4. For the peace of Christian Princes 5. For the re-union of Schismaticks 6. For the Conversion of Hereticks 7. For the Correction of Sinners 8. For the Consolation of the afflicted both living and departed The conditions of this Confraternity FIrst all Christians of whatsoever calling and condition may be received into this Sacred Confraternity without any obligation to pay any thing for their entrance or admittance Leo 10. Pastoris aeterni 1520. pridie nonas Octob. Secondly there is to be a particular book provided wherein the names and surnames of all such as are admitted must be Registred Thirdly whosoever is thus admitted in any one place is made partaker of the prayers and Merits of all them that are of this Confraternity throughout the whole Universe Fourthly not onely the living but also the faithful departed to wit the Souls in Purgatory may be received and enrolled in this Confraternity and made partakers of these spiritual benefits if any of the living Brethren and Sisters shall desire and procure it performing for their deceased friends such pious duties and devotions as the Rules demand Fifthly all the Brothers and Sisters are obliged to recite every week the entire Rosary which they may as themselves please either perform together or divide into three parts for their greater ease and conveniency Sixthly In case of any lawful impediment the Brothers and Sisters causing the Rosary to be recited for them by another satisfie their own obligation Seventhly If through forgetfulness multiplicity of employments or negligence and not out of contempt they omit this weekly recital of the Rosary it is no sin but only for
