THE DISPLAYING of the Popish Masse wherein 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 Psalme 73.

the Popish Masse IF I were not led O yee MASSING Priests with a naturall and fervent affection toward this our common country which as a most tender mother hath tenderly brought me forth and as a most loving nurse hath hitherto sweetly embraced kindly fostered and carefully kept me up whose destruction and utter desolation if provision betimes be not made I see unfainedly to be at hand againe if I were not moved with very pitie and tender compassion towards you my country-men greatly lamenting and even from the very heart bewailing the miserable and wretched state wherein at this present yee stand perceiving also your dreadfull damnation besides the corporall plagues which with other ye shall suffer not to be farre off except yee shortly repent turne unto the Lord our God and leave your abominable Idoll service I would chuse rather quietly to goe forth in giving my minde to the studie of the holy Scriptures according to my profession and in calling on the Name of God by fervent prayer for the redresse of the great abominations which now of late dayes as most fierce outragious flouds have violently burst in overflowed and utterly deformed the Christian Common-weale of this our Realme of England than breaking off my present studies to take upon me at this time to write unto you and especially of such a matter as some brainsicke persons straightwayes will condemne as hereticall but all wil judge it superfluous seeing the matter whereof I entend to write doth but a little agree with the common opinion of religion yea rather superstition that is now received among us against the which to strive who will not count it a thing of great folly being so defenced not onely with Lawes and Statutes but also with the power of the head rulers with the wily subtilties of the fleshly hypocrites and with the consent of the grosse multitude as I may speake nothing of the untowardnesse yea rather frowardnesse and malicious madnesse of a number of you Masse-mongers to whom these my Letters bee directed which have been so rooted from the beginning of your greasie Priest-hood in this wicked kinde of massing taking it for most perfect pure true sound godly and Christian Religion and have found so great ease quietnesse lucre gaine and advantage in it that it shall be more easie except God setteth to his helping hand to make a man of Inde white than to plucke many of you from your old accustomed and cankered trade so hard a thing is it to use an old dogge to the reine or to cure that disease that is bred in the bone But notwithstanding having a good opinion although not of all yet of some of you which sinne not of obstinate malice against the truth but of simplicitie ignorance and blindnesse offend for lacke of better knowledge whom also peradventure God hitherto hath suffered to remaine in errour that he now at the last thorow the riches of his mercy might bring you into the glorious light of his blessed Gospell and make you of Sauls Pauls of ravening wolves faithfull Shepheards of cruell persecutors Christian Preachers of abominable Idolaters true worshippers of God that by this meanes ye may beleeve and be saved I will attempt even for your sakes even to the uttermost of my power as time shall serve to declare unto you my minde concerning the great abuse yea the abominable Idolatry which ye commit in the most wicked and Divellish Masse while yee take upon you contrary to the Word of God to defile the blessed Sacrament of Christs body and bloud to minister it in your Masses unto your selfe alone contrary to Christs institution to offer it for a sacrifice unto God for the sinnes of the quicke and dead to avouch it to bee of no lesse excellencie price dignitie efficacie might vertue and power than the sacrifice which our Saviour Christ offered on the altar of the Crosse and to make a shew of it to the people that they may fall downe and worshippe it as a god yea God himselfe Creator and maker of all things that yee having the knowledge of these your errors may from henceforth cease to offend the Lord our God give over your Idolatrous massing repent you of your former life and become godly Ministers in the Church of Christ unto the glory of God and the profit of his holy Congregation And that wee may the better discerne the truth from the falsehood and the prophanation of the Sacrament from the true ministration thereof I will compare Christs doing in this behalfe and yours together that when ye shall perceive how farre ye dissent and swarve from the truth ye may forsake your errour and follow no more the trifling traditions of Antichrist the Bishop of Rome and of his adherents but rather embrace that Godly and faithfull order which our Saviour Christ hath set and appointed in his holy Word for the due Ministration of his blessed Communion It is not unknowne to you that the Lord Iesus after he had eatē the Paschall Lambe with his Disciples according to the Law of Moses that same night wherein hee was betrayed knowing that the time appointed of his heavenly Father frō everlasting wherein he should offer himselfe a sweet smelling sacrifice to God for the sinnes of the world was at hand and willing to leave behinde him a memoriall of his glorious Passion and precious death to his holy Congregation that the fruits commodities and benefits which the faithfull penitent sinners have by the offering up of his blessed bodie should not be forgotten
Authors For it is an hotch-potch devised made by a number of Popes and by others also It is a very beggers cloke cobled clouted and patched with a multitude of popish ragges And yet the Papists affirme it to bee the holiest part of your Masse And it may soone be For there is not one part of the Masse that can worthily be called good as it is used at this present All things are so far out of order without edifying and contrary to Gods holy ordinance The authors of this their goodly and godly Canon they make Pope Aleâ—ander Pope Gelasius Pope Gregory Pope Sixtus Pope Leo and a certaine man called Scholasticus with other And here beginne yee wonderfully to crosse and to pray for the Universall Church first for our LORD Pope secondly for the Bishop of the Diocesse wherein yee dwell thirdly for your King and Queen last of all for all those that be of the Catholike faith And now come yee to your first Memento which serveth for the living where yee stand nodding like a sort of drunkards and praying yee say for all your good friends and benefactors for all that uphold and maintaine the kingdome of the Clergie and defend our mother holy Church against the assaults of the Gospellers and here ye alledge a sort of Saints and ye desire that for their merits and prayers sake yee may bee saved and preserved from all evill O abhominable blasphemers This done yee fall to crouching and beholding the little cake and chalice speaking a few little good words in Latine yee blesse and crosse wonderfully the cake and Chalice as though they were haunted with some ill spirits While yee are thus blessing the boy or Parish Clerke rings the little Sacry bell which biddeth the people lay all things aside now and lift up their heads behold their maker kneele down and worship their Lord God which Sir Iohn shall straight-wayes make with as much speed as may be and shew him unto them above his head Before it was Sursum corda Lift up your hearts unto the Lord but now is sursum capita come in lift up your heads and looke upon your maker betweene the priests hands with his arse turned towards you because no woman at that present shal be inamored with his sweete and loving face Come off kneele downe looke up knocke your brest behold the apple-maker of Kent and marke well him that killed thy father This is the Lord thy God Let us fall downe and worship him O unsufferable Idolatrie Notable is the doctrin of the Nicene Counsell which commandeth that wee shall not direct our mindes downeward to the bread and cup but lift them up to Christ by faith whith is ascended up into heaven really and corporally and not present carnally in the Sacramental bread as the papists teach Christ while we live in this world is not to be seen with the eyes of this body but of the spirit by faith If we wil see and worship Christ aright we must see and worship him in spirit sitting in his glory and majestie above in heaven at the right hand of God his father and not behold him in the Sacramentall bread with the corporall eyes where nothing is to be seene felt tasted or received with the mouth but bread onely But before wee come to your consecration to your Sacring and to the lifting up of your litle great young old God we will first see what Christ did afterward compare your doings with his Christ sitting at the table tooke bread and after hee had given thankes he brake the bread and gave it to his Disciples for to eat Christ sate at the table yee stand at an Altar Christ tooke bread to make it a Sacrament of his body yee take a little thinne round Cake or rather a thinne piece of starch to make it the naturall body of Christ God and man and to offer it for a Sacrifice for the sinnes of the quicke and the dead Christ delivered the bread to his Disciples to eate it in the remembrance of his death ye take the bread and hold it up above your head and make a shew of it to the people and when yee have once so done ye alone devoure and eate it up Christ brake the bread signifying thereby the breaking of his body on the Altar of the Crosse for the Salvation of the world according to this his promise in the Gospell of Saint Iohn I am that living bread which came downe from heaven If any man eateth of this bread hee shall live for ever And the bread that I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world Ye breake the bread also which yee say is the naturall body of Christ flesh bloud and bone But very fondly ye breake it For yee breake your Host I use your own tearmes in three parts holding it over the chalice while you breake it I thinke because yee would lose none of the bloud that should issue out of the body which ye newly have made and now suddainely yee breake and destroy againe When ye have broken your new formed God in three parts two pieces you keepe still in your hands for flying away and the third yee let fall downe into the chalice to lie there awhile a sleeping or to put you in remembrance of your nappy Ale and Tost which your pretty Parnell hath full lovingly prepared for you against your Masse bee done lest you should chance to faint for taking so great paines at your butcherly altar Many significations have the Papists invented for those 3. broken pieces of the cake which all here to rehearse were too long I will rehearse one and if yee desire to know more enquire of your brethren the Papists and they shall easily teach you The first part say they which is both the longest and the greatest doth not onely signifie but also is a Sacrifice of thanksgiving to God the Father for his benefits declared to mankinde in the death of Christ his sonne The second is a Sacrifice propitiatory for the sinnes of the people that â—ee living in this world but specially for the sinnes of such as have bought the Masse for their money that they may bee delivered a poena culpa toties quoties The third piece which is let downe into the chalice is a satisfactory Sacrifice for the soules that lie miserably puling in the hot fire of Purgatorie to deliver them from the grievous paines and bitter torments that they there suffer and through the vertue and merits of that Sacrifice to bring them unto everlasting glory O intollerable abomination Here is the breaking of your Host with the goodly mysteries thereof Christ say the Evangelists took bread brake it and gave it to his Disciples saying Take eat this is my body which is broken for you Doe this in remembrance of me Yee also take bread and breake it
natural bodie of Christ God and man therefore may we all justly worship it I aske you how prove ye it to be the naturall bodie of Christ Yee answer By the vertue of these words Hoc est enim corpus meum I reply CHRIST spake these words of the bread as the holy Scriptures and all ancient Writers doe witnesse and so then followeth it that bread is Christs body and Christs bodie is bread And by this meanes it must needs be granted that Christ hath two bodies one made of bread and another of flesh which he received of Mary the Virgin But yee answer Christs calling is making Christ called the bread his body therefore is it made his bodie I answer againe Christ called himselfe a Vine a Doore a Shepheard and called his Heavenly Father a Plough-man is Christ therefore made a naturall vine a materiall doore a rusticall shepheard and his Father an husband-man of the country Christ called Iohn Baptist Elias Is Iohn therefore made that Elias the Thesbite which preached in the time of wicked King Achab Christ called Iohn the Evangelist Maries son and called Mary his mother is Iohn therefore made the naturall son of Mary the Virgin Christs mother And is Mary made the very true and naturall mother of Iohn Evangelist I am sure yee will not so say No more is the Sacramentall Bread Christs naturall body although Christ called it his bodie but his bodie in a mystery and in a figure as the old writers testifie Tertullian that most ancient Doctor saith Iesus taking bread and distributing it among his disciples made it his bodie saying This is my bodie that is to say a figure of my body Hereto agreeth the saying of Saint Augustine Christ did not sticke to say This is my body when he gave the signe of his bodie And Saint Hierome saith that Christ did represent the truth of his body and bloud by the bread and wine An infinite number of like sentences concerning this matter are found in the ancient Authors which prove evidently that this saying of Christ Hoc est corpus meum This is my body is a figurative speech Signes or Sacraments in the holy Scripture are called by the names of the things whereof they bee Sacraments and signes as we reade of the Arke of Circumcision of the Paschal Lambe of the Sacrifices of the old Law of Baptisme which Saint Paul calleth the Laver or fountaine of regeneration and the receiving of the Holy Ghost And after this sort is the sacramental bread called by the name of Christs body because it is the Sacrament signe and figure of his bodie Those things which doe signifie saith Saint Cyprian and those things which be signified by them may bee both called by one name And Saint Augustine rehearsing divers sentences which were spoken figuratively numbreth among thē these words of Christ Hoc est corpus meum This is my body whereby he declareth plainly that Christ spake these words figuratively not meaning that the bread was his body by substance but by signification Moreover it is directly against the veritie and truth of Christs naturall body to bee at more places at once than in one as hee must be in an hundred thousand places at once if your doctrine bee true A stinking Sodomite or a wicked whoremonger being dressed in his fooles coat and standing at an altar with a little thinne round cake in his hand shall with these five words Hoc est corpus meum and with blowing and breathing upon the bread make Christ the king of glory to come from the right hand of his father and to touch himselfe in the Accidents of the little cake untill yee have eaten him and then trudge up againe to heaven till Hoc est enim corpus meum fetch him down again if your doctrine bee true O proud Lucifers And oh poore wretched Christ who at every filthy Masse-mongers commandement art compelled to come down from the glorious throne of thy Majestie and to bee handled as the Papish please either to bee torne asunder with their teeth or else to be hanged up with an halter in their popish Pixe But know yee O ye vile and blasphemous Papists that though yee whisper your five words never so oft at your Idolatrous altars and breath blast and blow till yee be windlesse yee shall never plucke the Son of God from the right hand of his Father nor make that thinne cake of yours Christs naturall Body The article of our faith is that Christ is gone up into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty and from thence hee shall come to judge the quicke and the dead Our Saviour Christ told his Disciples full oft a little before his passion that hee should leave the world and goe up againe unto his Father Saint Mark saith that Christ was taken up into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God Saint Luke saith that Christ went away from his Disciples and was carried up into heaven The Angell of God said to the Apostles when Christ did ascend up into heaven yee men of Galile why stand ye gazing up into heaven This Iesus which is taken up from you into heaven so shall hee come as ye have seen him going into heaven Of these words of the Angells wee learne that as Christ went up visibly and was seene with the corporall eyes of men but never man saw him yet comming downe with his corporall eyes therefore never came he downe corporally since his ascension S. Stephen indeed saw Christ even with his bodily eyes as wee reade in the Acts of the Apostles But where Heere on the earth between the Priests hands Nay but in heaven standing on the right hand of God Saint Paul heard Christ speake but from whence from the popish pixe yea rather from heaven Saint Peter saith as blessed Luke testifyeth that Iesus Christ must receive heaven till the time that all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world beganne bee restored againe This time is till the day of judgement If ye will have Christ therefore bodily at your Masses yee must tarry till the day of Iudgement For till that time saith blessed Peter hee must keepe heaven Alasse where is your Hoc est enim corpus meum after your grosse understanding become Moreover S. Paul in divers places of his Epistles declareth that Christ is ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God and maketh intercession for us to God his father So likewise doe the other Apostles in their writings Iesus Christ saith Saint Peter is on the right hand of God and is gone into heaven We have an Advocate with the Father Iesus Christ the righteous saith Saint Iohn All these Authorities of the holy Scripture with many other doe testifie that
