Sabellic But soone after the great Bishops of Rome gaue such order that by treason the Emperour Maurice in Constantinople was cruely slaine hee his wife and familie by wicked Phocas who to recompence this detestable murder committed by the aduise of the Church of Rome alwaies contrary to Iesus Christ The yeare of Christ 612. hee declared Boniface the third of that name the generall head of the church of God taking vpon him the authoritie of Iesus Christ the great and euerlasting high Priest the onely spouse and head of his church Who can better describe an Antichrist than hee that doth enterprise a tyrannie in the church of God Marke 26 a poligamie in the church the spouse of Iesus Christ attributing to himselfe that power which Iesus Christ hath reserued to himselfe to bee perpetuall with his church by the vertue of his holy spirite to conduct and gouerne the same May not hee rightly be called Antichrist which doth enforce himselfe directly to goe against the holy gospell of Iesus Christ who commanded his Apostles when he sent them to preach his word that they should not institute a Monarchie in the church as the Princes Kings Math. 23. Luke 11. Marke 2. and tyrants of the earth That none amongst them should enterprise to call himselfe the head or greater then other but all as brethren were humble being assured to haue one head and one heauenly father which will tarrie with them and assist them for euer to inspire and conduct them in his holy will Is not hee of good right Antichrist which will haue himselfe called the successour of Iesus Christ in the great Bishoprick in the high priesthood by him exercised The which dignitie he hath reserued to himselfe abiding a high soueraigne Priest for euermore who hath left no successour in his dignitie as Aaron did and his successours in the dignities of the high Priests of the Iewes But is after the order of Melchisedech a king high priest without any successour in his dignitie Wherfore then O Antichrists of Rome haue you taken vpon you the dignity of the highest Bishops as the heads of the church of God and vsurped also the authority of Iesus Christ causing your selues to be called most blessed most reuerend fathers and Popes hauing instituted a colledge of little purple Bishoppes to choose the great Bishop but onely to the end to renew the auncient Romaine religion of Numa Pompilius the first authour of your Pontificall dignities About the same time that Phocas the cruell murtherer did erect an Antichrist in the Romane Church Mahomet was risen in the Church of Arabia instructed by the Monke Sergius about the yeare 620. for this Apostate Heretike seeing the lawe of God altogether corrupted by the traditions of men and the holy Gospell contemned sectes and diuerse heresies sowed as well by the Iewes Pharisees Esseens Saduces Masbutheans Galileans Hemerobaptists and Samaritans as also by the Christians Simoniaques Nicolaits CerinthieÌ„s MenandrieÌ„s Ebionites ValeÌ„tinians Cerdonians Marcionistes Montanistes Seeke the Church histories Cataphriges Tatians Eueratits Seuerians Artemonistes Porpherians Helchesaites Nouatiens Sabellians Chiliastes Paulianistes Manicheans Automousiastes Arrians Eunonians Macedonians Euuomiotheophroniens Eunomioentichiens Aetians Donatistes Luciferiens Patripassians or Theophatites Photiniens Marcellians Paulosamosetans Apolinaristes Iouinianistes Pelagians Acariens Olimpiens Quaternitaries Monothelites And other Heretikes hauing corrupted the true vsage of the holy Sacraments ordeyned of God Seeing also specially the Messalien secte to prosper in their ceremonies taken partly out of the Iudaicall lawe and partly out of the heathen Idolatrie he inuented the great Alcoran decree wherein he set many chapters articles called Azoares which are as lawes and rules of the Mahomet Religion This preface briefe discourse of the Romane history me thought necessarie to recite before I would begin to discribe the originall of the sacrifice of the Masse Alwaies to bring the Reader to vnderstand the veritie of the fact How the Emperour of Rome hath bin gouerned vntill the decay thereof about the yeare of Christ 410. And how the barbarous Idolators did vsurpe the same for the space of 300. yeares how also the Antichristes did rise and in the end the Emperour of Rome was transferred to the Almaines which keepe it to this day 500. yeares being passed Of the Masse TO begin this our little treatise of the Masse first of all it is conuenient to interprete this tearme Masse The originall of the tearme of the Masse of the ancient Romaines called Missa Some haue honoured this Missal sacrifice to haue taken his beginning of the Hebrewes bringing in the place of Daniel Daniel 11. speaking of Maozin as if they would signifie the Masse by Maozin But this tearme is very strange froÌ„ Missa or Masse And there are other Hebrew words which are more nearer to wit Messa which is as much to say as conculcation or treading downe whereof mention is made in the history of the kinges of Israel 4. Kings 11. Missa Another tearme also is found very comfortable vnto this common tearme Masse namely Messall Iosua 19. Messall that is to say hell or graue But I am well assured that the high Priestes of Rome will not take the originall of their sacrifice of the Masse from the Hebrues acknowledging their Masse and Messall to be a conculcation graue or hell Further to speake the truth the Author of the Romane Religion Numa Pompilius neuer thought of the Hebrues when he first instituted the Masse much lesse this tearme Missa or Masse can haue his originall of the Greekes Messal Hell seeing they haue no sacrifice of that name notwithstanding that some haue made some reason to bring in this terme of Greeke Mizâ—in that is to say in English to whisper or hide in secret As if the Messalian sacrificers had receiued of the Greekes Idolatours to keepe secret the chiefe and principall words of their Masses to the end they should not bee vnderstood of the assistance but haue obserued to murmure and blow betweene their teeth the Canons and other speciall words which neither they vnderstoode themselues nor other which beheld them Neuerthelesse neither the Hebrue termes nor Greeke vocables in no wise can be appropriated to the missall sacrifice Wherefore it behoueth to haue recourse to the true original of the terme Missa or Masse Masse taken of the ancient Latins Romans taken of the auncient Latines the Romanes which were accustomed to vse these termes Missus

ancient Idolators was the Offertory of the first fruits offered to the honour of the Gods in the name of whome the sacrifice was celebrated This Offertorie was for the massing sacrificer which he might freely cary into his owne house for the nourishment of himselfe his familie notwithstanding there were other offerings distributed to those that were needfull After by the couetousnes of the Massalians this vsage was changed into an offertorie or offering of siluer or gold to inrich the coffer Platina which some would haue attributed to Leo Bishop of Rome notwithstanding that the Offertorie was practised more then a thousand yeares before him And to the end to iustifie this by the Romaine histories When Numa had instituted the ministers of the Religion as Bishops Augures Sauliens Feciaux Blond lib. 2. de Rom. trium Curions and others he ordained also the meanes how to nourish and intertaine them he commanded to make of the common reuenues foundations for the nourishment maintenance of the religions Vestales Following his example many particuler persons did the like Sacerdotiorum siue beneficiorum duo erant genera vnum quorum collatio ad reÌ„p aut principem aut ad pontificuÌ„ collegium specta bat Alterum quorum collatio ad aliquaÌ„ familiam eiusque successores pertinebat quae beneficia viris patronatus censebantur Blond lib. 2. de Rom trium So that benefices became rich by foundations The same benefices were of two sortes The one at the presentation bestowing of the Prince or of the common-wealth or of the colledge of Bishops The other were at the presentation of some particuler patrons of the said benefices by whome they were founded and indowed with great riches Of the which benefices the great Bishoppes of Rome haue vsurped authoritie to giue dispensation to haue two at once euen as it is recited in the historie of Liuie of Fabius Maximus who had by dispence two benefices then when hee was created Bishoppe more then two hundred yeares before the incarnation of Iesus Christ This was their first reuenew of the Massalian sacrificers to haue benefices richly founded A dispence for many benefices The second reuenew was the Offertorie Tit.
