Afterwards when men began to count their Prayers as though God were in our debt for often begging of him there were devised by one Petrus Heremita a Frenchman of the City of Amiens Bedes to say Lady Psalters on the year of our Lord 1090. The same Petrus was occasion that Pope Urbane stirred the Christians to make a Voyage into Asia at which time Jerusalem was recovered The manner of turning our faces into the East when we pray is taken of the old Heathens which as Apuleius remembreth used to look Eastward and salute the Sun we take it in a custome to put us in remembrance that Christ is the Son of Righteousnesse that discloseth all secrets But that was not lawfull for the Hebrews as may seem to us by the setting of the Tabernacle and they must ever look toward the Temple as the story of Daniel declareth Moses when he had received the ten Commandements assembling the people together shewed them the will of God and that was the first Sermon or Preaching and the Prophets had without doubt open collations And afterward John Baptist in the Wildernesse of Jury Preached and so did Christ himself and gave Authority to the Apostles and Disciples by special Commandement to do the same The blessed Sacrament of the Altar was instituted by our Saviour Jesus Christ a little before his Passion in Jerusalem at his Supper when he had ended the Paschal lamb in this wise He took bread and after he had given thanks he brake it and gave it to his Disciples saying Take and eat This is my body that shall be given for you So taking the Cup he gave thanks likewise and delivered it to them Saying Drink ye all of this Cup for this is my bloud of the New Testament which is shed for the remission of sins Thus under the form of bread and Wine he gave to them particularly his body and bloud sanctified in and by the Word And gave commandement that like Sacrifice should be made in remembrance of him Alexander the Bishop of Rome did ordain that this oblation should be made of sweet bread where before it was Leavened bread And he commanded that water should be mixt with Wine in the Cup. CHAP. VIII Who Sacrificed first after Christs Tradition and increased the parts of the Masse EVerything at the first in the Ministery of the Lords Supper was plain sincere and without any mixture of Ceremonies containing more vertue then Solemnity For it is manifest that Peter which either first of all or else with the rest of the Apostles did consecrate often times after the Rite that he had received of Christ and by and by after the Consecration joyned to the Lords Prayer or Pater Noster And I suppose it was not much differing from the Masse that is used in the Church on Good Friday Coelestinus ordained the prayers that the Priest saith when he revesteth himself to Masse or at putting on his cloaths that beginneth Judica me Deus c. Albeit it seemeth by the words of Chrysostome in the 11th Homily on Matthew that it was taken of the Churches of Greece and Asia which used to sing Psalms while the people assembled together Damasus instituted the confession at the beginning of Masse and some refer it to Pontianus Kyrie eleeson was frequented in Greece first and Gregorius caused it to be said nine times in the Latine Church Gloria in excelsis is ascribed of some to Telesphorus of some to Hilarius of some to Symmachus and the Councel of Toletane thinketh that the Doctors of the Church made it Collect Gelasius and Gregory gather'd And the Grail was appointed by them also Alleluya was translated from Jerusalem to the Latine Church in the time of Damasus The Tract Durandus saith was devised by Telesphorus and Sequences were invented first by one Nothgerus an Abbot The Epistles and Gospel were as Hierom writeth used in the East Churches of very ancient time wherefore I suppose we had the manner to read the Epistle and Gospell of those Churches Yet some say Telesphorus ordained them and some suppose that Jerome at the request of Damasus did devide them as we read them now at this day Anastasius commanded that we should stand at the Gospel in token that men should be in a readiness to defend the doctrine of the Gospel The first part of the Creed Marcus ordained to be read after it was made by the Councel of Nicene and the second part Et Spiritum sanctum that the Counsel of Constantinople composed Damasus caused to be read in the Church Eutichianus instituted the Offertory to be sung whilst the people offered such things as went to the relief and comfort of the poor The Offertory remaineth but the poor are forgotten as though they had no part in Christ and were vile abjects of the World Gelasius made the Prefaces howbeit in the beginning they used but one Preface And Secius added the Sanctus out of the Prophet Esay Washing of hands began either of the old Testament where they did nothing with unwashed hands or else of the Gentiles which before their Sacrifices used to wash their hands as Hesiodus witnesseth Burning of Incense that was occupied in the old Testament by Aaron and of the Panims in their superstitious Rites Leo the third ordained to be had in the Latine Church The Privity of the Masse called the Canon was made by divers persons as Gelasius made Te igitur Sâ—titius added Communicantes and Alexander the first that was long before them made Qui pridie and that was the beginning of the Canon before that time For Alexander was 340 years and more before Gelasius Hanc igitur Leo joyned and Gregory annexed three petitions in the same Dies que nostros and so forth Innocencius the first instituted that Priests in the upper part of the Church called the Chancel or Quire should kisse one another and that Pax should be born to the people Blessing with hands and Chalices came out of the Hebrews Ceremonies For Aaron after he had sacrificed blessed the people And Christ at his Ascention blessed his Disciples Sergius ordainâ—d the Agnus dei seven hundred years after Christ to be sung of the Clergy at the time of the Communion The often turning of the Priest to the Altar when he saith Dominus Vobiscum or Orates fraires came of the Hebrews rites where in sacrifice time the Priest turneth him to cast the bloud of the Sacrifice on the people and the Heathens used the same fashion in their superstitions and therefore doubtlesse we had those Ceremonies of them CHAP. IX Why we say Ite missa est Whereof the word Masse and ceremony came The first manner of taking the Sacrament WHen Masse is ended the Deacon turning to the people saith Ite missa est which words are borrowed of the rites of the Pagans and signifieth that then the company may be dismissed It was used in the sacrifices of Isis

that when the observances were duly and fully performed and accomplished then a Minister of the Religion should give warning or a watch-word what time they might lawfully depart And of this sprung our custome of Singing Ite missa est for a certain signification that the full service was finished Masse is an Hebrew word as Râ—â—cline saith and signifieth an oblation or sacrifice with all circumstances concerning the same The Romans called all such service as appertained to their gods in one general name Ceremonies because a certain people named Cerites received the reliques and other observances of the Romans Religions devoutly and preserved them for when the Frenchmen by the valiantness of their Captain Brennus that was a Brittain of this Land had won the City for that benefit all the rites of their gods universally were named Ceremonies Alexander inhibited Priests that they should not sacrifice but once in a day and Telesphorus permitted them to say three Masses on Christmass day First at mid-night what time Christ was born the second in the morning when shepherds visited him The third at further of the day where afore-time it was not lawfull to celebrate before the third hour of the day Felix the first decreed That no Mass might be said but in places consecrated saving in the time of necessity and that none but Priests admitted should intermeddle with the mysteries of consecration because that authority was onely given to the Apostles at the beginning by whom Priests be meant and understood Anacletus ordained That no Masse should be done but in the presence of two at the least lest the Priest should say in vain to the walls Dominus Vobiscum when none were present and therefore they do evill that consecrate in corners alone Albeit Gratianus referreth that to Soterus which perchance did renew that constitution The Sacrament was used of our predecessours in the Primitive Church every day as Luke witnesseth in the Acts of the Apostles and Anacletus caused it to be renewed by a Decree upon pain of Excommunication And Victor denounced That those should be interdicted from all services that when they should receive the Sacrament would noâ— be reconciled to their Neighbours of all grudges hatreds and displeasures Zepherinus an hundred years after Anacletus commanded That all that professed Christ or bare the name of Christians being of the age of 12 or 14 years should at the least once in the year at Eâ—ster receive the blessed Sacrament Fabianus decreed that they should receive it three times in the year Innocentius the third decreed That the Sacrament should be kept in the Churches to the intent to be in a readinesse at all times lest they that were sick should want the spiritual comfort in that troublesome time of death and Honorius the third confirmed the same The End of the Fifth Book Polidore Virgil. The Sixth BOOK CHAP. I. Auricular Confession ALbeit Man redeemed with the precious bloud of Jesus Christ is fully reconciled to GOD and all the heavinesse of his displeasure be appeased yet the poysoned nature of man is such the occasions of sin be so many and so great that in this slippery way of worldly life we must needs our infirmity enforcing us thereto fall into the snares of the Devil and sin But God as he is all mercy willing the death of no sinner but that he convert and live hath left us the comfortable salve of repentance as a present remedy against all such incursions of our enemy of fragility of body whereby we may with a good hope call to our Heavenly Father for the forgivenesse of our offences and trespasses For as the Prophet Ezekiel recordeth What hour soever the sinner doth lament and is repentant for his sins God for his Son Jesus sake will no longer bear them in remembrance Therefore whosoever with concupiscence vanquished or by lust inforcâ—d by errour deceived or by force constrained doth fall to any kind of injustice let him not despair in his own conscience or mistrust the bottomlesse mercy of God but with good courage repair to this medicine repentance and contrition of heart Consequently it should be the Penitent's office and duty after such heaviness taken as it were by a vomit to spue out of his conscience all such unwholsome things as might remain still engender desperation or imbezell his hope in the promises of God For this cause Confession named Auricular that is made to the Priest was at the beginning instituted that men might therein open their hearts to their Curates and receive at their hands the oyl of the Gospel of Christ to supple their raw and young sores It was the institution of Innocentius the third that so many as were by age subject or in danger to commit sin should at the least once in the year be confessed to their Curates to whom it concerneth to know the behaviour of his Parishioners for as much as he must render a straight account of his cure And therefore it is evill in mine opinion to have these common Penitentiaries which be the occasion that Curates give not their counsel where need is and men thereby be more bold to sin seeing they shall not be rebuked by such common Confessors but for their money have ready absolution with small exhortation to amend their sinfulness This Confession is proved in the Text of S. James where he saith Confesse your sins one to another and one pray for another And also in the 20 Chapter of John where Christ saith Receive the Holy Ghost Whose sins soever you remit they are forgiven them and whose sins soever you retain they are retained CHAP. II. Mattins singing of Psalms by course Legends of Saints MAttins with Prime and Hours were appointed first by Hierome for one Eusebius of Cremona and divers others that lived with him to sing in the Churches And the Fathers and old Governours of Congregations received them following the Verse of David in the 119 Psalm Seven times in the day have I given and sung praise to thee Cyprian writeth that the prime and other hours took their original of Daniel Which after the custome of his Countrey thrice in the day Morning Noon and Evening on his knees used to pray It was also the Rite of the Heathen to have morning Prayers for Apuleius saith that they sung salutations of the new light and shewed that it was prime of the day where he meaneth by salutation the morning songs that we call Mattins and there declareth how the hours of the day were sorted and devided for Sacrifices and Prayers Pelagius the second was the first that commanded Priests to say them dayly that like as the just man falleth seven times oâ— the day so by instant and continuall prayer he might as often rise and amend Vrbanus the second ordained the Lady Mattins to be said daily and confirmed them in the Councel which he had at Mounte Clare
