A10177	A briefe suruay and censure of Mr Cozens his couzening deuotions Prouing both the forme and matter of Mr Cozens his booke of priuate deuotions, or the houres of prayer, lately published, to be meerely popish: to differ from the priuate prayers authorized by Queene Elizabeth 1560. to be transcribed out of popish authors, with which they are here paralelled: and to be scandalous and preiudiciall to our Church, and aduantagious onely to the Church of Rome. By William Prynne Gent. Hospitij Lincolniensis.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1628 (1628)	STC 20455; ESTC S120656	100,630	151

Apostolicall Praecepts and Constitutions praescribed and inioyned by the Churches bare Authoritie which opinion both of the Lent-Fast and of these other Fasting-dayes or Fish-dayes rather all Protestant Authors doe disclaime as a meere Popish Assertion And none but professed Papists doe mainteine Wee keepe our Lent and the fore-recited Fasts by vertue of the Statute of 2. and 3 Ed. 6. cap. 19. and by no Ecclesiasticall or Apostolicall constitutions Wee know no expresse Precepts in our Articles Homelies Canons or Common Prayer Booke of our Church that binde vs to obserue these Fasts but onely the fore-recited Statutes which are the Lawes and Precepts of the State not of the Church Therefore our Authors Doctrine in these points of Lent and Fasting Dayes which differ from the expresse words and Preamble of the Statute of 2. and 3. Ed. 6. cap. 19. from the Doctrine of our Homelies and the receiued Tenent of all our Writers agreeing verbatim with the assertion of Iesuites and Popish writers must needes be Popish For the fourth That the Pictures of God the Sonne and God the holy Ghost may be lawfully made it is couertly and necessarily intimated in his first Diuision of such who doe off●nd against the second Commandement Offenders against the second Commandement saith he are They that fancie to themselues any likenesse of the Deitie or frame for to make any Image either of God the blessed Trinitie or of God the Father who neuer appeared to the World in a visible shape So that he cleerely admits and intimates in these words that the Images and Pictures of God the Sonne and God the holy Ghost may be safely made because they appeared to the World in a visible shape as hee pretends though God the Father and the blessed Trinitie neuer did His applying then of this reason onely to God the Father and the blessed Trinitie His stopping at the Father without any further mention of the Sonne and holy Ghost together with his ensuing words Those that make any other Image be it of Christ and his Crosse or bee it of his blessed Angels with an intent to worship them Doe fully euidence that hee approoues the making of the Images and Pictures of God the Sonne and God the holy Ghost a meere Popish assertion which the Papists onely doe mainteine and which our owne Homelies and Orthodoxe writers doe expressely condemne as Sinfull and Vnlawfull For the fift Position That God the Sonne and God the holy Ghost may be worshipped in their Images which is necessarily collected from these words Offenders against the second Commandement are They that make any other Images or the likenesse of any thing whatsoeuer be it of Christ and his Crosse or be it of his blessed Angels with an intent to fall downe and worship them They that are worshippers of Idoles or representments of false Gods In which passages our Author onely disclaimes the worshipping of meree Pictures Idoles and false Gods which the Papists lik●wise doe condemne or the adoration of the bare Pictures of Christ and the holy Ghost intimating that wee may worship them in their Pictures for why else doeth hee allow men for to make them though we may not Adore the Pictures themselues according to the ancient Popish distinction and euasion which our Homelies and the fore-quoted Protestant Authors doe condemne and vtterly reiect as Popish and Erronious For the sixt That the Persons and Images of Saints and Angels may bee worshipped though not with the s●lfesame worship wherewith wee Adore God himselfe This is euidently inforced from his Exposiotin on the second Commandement God is to be worshipped with the lowly reuerence of our bodies also This to bee religiously done vnto him This also to be done purely without any such outward and solemne worship to be giuen either to the Person or Image of Saint or Angel or any other creature whatsoeuer which being compared with that which followes Offenders against this Commandement They that are worshippers of Saints Images and out of a false opinion of demeriting the protection of the blessed Virgin or any other Saint of God doe giue a religious Adoration to those vsuall representations that are made of them So that hee doeth here euidently and clearely grant as Maister Mountague also in expresse tearmes doeth That there may bee a religious vse of the Images of Saints and Angels and that wee may Worship and Adore either Saints or Angels at least wise with the Worship of Dulia as the Papists hold though not with that outward and solemne worship marke the Emphasis of the words which is due to God alone For hee onely condemnes the giuing of religious Adoration to the bare Images not to the persons of Saints and Angels which his last words doe seeme clearely to admit and the yeelding not of Religious worship and Adoration but of that outward and solemne Worship onely which is due to God alone which is no more then all the Papists doe acknowledge who appropriate the worship of Latria vnto God alone though they giue that of Dulia and Hyperdulia vnto Angels Saints and Images So that in these Points of Images and Prayer to Saints make the best of them that can be hee goes no further then moderate Papists and not so farre as all Orthodoxe Protestant Authors doe so Frozen are his Zeale and hote Deuotions in these points of Saints and Angels which are meerely Popish For the seuenth That Confession to a Priest and Absolution from him especially before the receiuing of the Sacrament are necessary is euident from his fift Precept of the Church to wit To receiue the Blessed Communion of Christs Body and Blood with frequent Deuotion and three times of the yeere at least whereof Easter to bee one And for better preparation there vnto as occasion is to disburthen and quite our Consciences of those sinnes that may grieue vs or scruples that may trouble vs to a Learned and discreet Priest and from him to receiue aduice and the benefit of Absolution Loe here a pregnant proofe for Auricular Confession wherein there are three things obserueable First that the Confession which our Author speakes of is no arbetrarie or voluntarie but a forced and enioyned Confession and that by the Authoritie and Precept of the Church whereas ours and all other Protestant Churches prescribe it onely by way of aduice and that onely in case of necessitie when as mens Consciences cannot else be quieted Secondly that this Confession must be made not to a Minister of Gods word as our Common Prayer Booke renders it but to a discreete and Learned Priest that is to some Popish Massing Priest or other Thirdly that hee must not lay open his griefe that troubles and disquiets his Conscience as our Communion Booke reades it but hee must disburthen his Conscience of those sinnes that may not that doe grieue him and those scruples that may trouble him Fourthly that
