I. FOR the meditation of the first dayes iourney of this second Part of his Pilgrimage the Pilgrime shall fitly take the subiect of the Eucharist for he cannot better begin to honour this holy place then with so holy an action nor more refresh solace the trauaile of his pilgrimage then by this refectiō nor better open the doore of his soule to the light of the Holy Ghost then by the receauing of such a Sacrament and this should be the first meale and the last banquet of euery true Pilgrime he shal make his Meditation early in the morning at the holy house with these partes The prayer preparatory accustomed shal demand grace to direct all his actions to the glory of God and saluation of his soule In the first preamble he shall set before his eyes the history of the two Pilgrimes Luc. 14. Aug. epist 50. ad Paulin. who first of all other Christians receaued at our Sauiours handes after his resurrection in the village called Emaus The second shall demand a speciall light well to penetrate the maiesty and profit of this mystery The first Point Of three figures of the Holy Sacrament CHAP. II. THE first point of the meditation shall containe three old Figures Gen. 14.18 among diuers others of this B. Sacrament The first is the Sacrifice of Melchisedech sometyme King of Salem and high Priest who entertayning Abraham as he returned victorious from the battaile offered to God Bread and VVine in thankes-giuing for the victory blessed him and refreshed him and his companie Our Sauiour the true Melchisedech in figure of the Sacrifice of the Body and Bloud of Iesus Christ the Christian Eucharist which the same Iesus Christ the true Melchisedech the true King of peace and high Bishop did institute and ordaine when in his last supper he did communicate his Apostles giuing them his Body to eat vnder the figure of Bread and his Bloud to drinke vnder the figure of Wine after the order and forme of the Sacrifice of Melchisedech and making them his Vicars and Deputies commanded them and their Successours in their person to do the same Luc. 22 1● and to continue this Sacrifice and Supper in his name remembrance which hath heene alwayes performed hitherto and shall be alwayes heereafter vnto the worldes end For as Iesus Christ is Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedech and not of Aaron whose Priesthood togeather with the sacrifices were ended and fullfilled on the Crosse so his Sacrifice according to this order of Melchisedech shall be perpetual and euerlasting in yielding of thankes to God and in the feeding and refection of Christians the spirituall children of Abraham Psal 109. fighting in the Church heere militant on earth and shall one day triumph altogeather in heauen returning cōquerours from the combat The second Figure is the sacrifice of the Paschall Lambe which was ordayned the night before the deliuerance of the Hebrewes Exod. 12. from the captiuity of Aegypt and continued in remembrance of this great benefit vntill that our Sauiour the true Lambe did institute our Eucharist of his precious Body and Bloud in the euening before his Passion and our Redēption and shall continue as a memoriall thereof vntill he come againe not to be iudged and condemned to death as he was at his first comming but to iudge the world by the weights of their workes to kill death for euer after and to deliuer his children from all euill The third Figure is the Manna Exod. 15.16 giuen from heauen to the Hebrewes whilest they were Pilgrimes in the wildernesse walking towardes the land of promise euen so the Eucharist the true bread of heauen and the true drinke is giuen in the Church of God for the solace and sustenance of our soules in the desert of this world and for our prouision and food vntill we be brought to the land of the liuing in heauen The second point Of the Maiesty of our Sauiour in this Blessed Sacrament CHAP. III. THE second point shall be to meditate in this Sacrament first the power of our Sauiour Power conuerting by his almighty word the Bread into his body and the Wine into his bloud Second y the goodnes of the same Sauiour who hauing giuen himselfe a price and ransome for our Redemption Goodnes hath also vouchsafed to giue himselfe for food and to vnite himselfe with his creature soule to soule body to body in the straitest manner that can be imagined Thirdly the diuine wisedome Wisedome seasoning and tempering this precious food in so familiar and easy a fashion vnder the forme and taste of bread and Wine of the one side facilitating our senses to the taking of his flesh and bloud without horrour and on the other side instructing our fayth to vnderstand and acknowledge the vnion of faithfull Christians made heerby one

Bread one Body one Bloud one Flesh in Iesus Christ to the likenes of materiall Bread which is composed of diners graines and wine made of many grapes as our Doctours doe expound The third point Of the effects of this Holy Sacrament CHAP. IV. The effects of B. Sacrament S. Tho. 3. quest 79. THE third shall be to consider the effects of this diuine mystery which are many The 1. wherof is to Quicken and giue the grace of God the life of the soule as our Sauiour sayth He that eateth me shall liue by me The second to Nourish and increase the same grace euen as corporall meate maintaineth life Ioan. 6. and maketh the body to growe The third to Enlighten the spirit as appeareth by the first Communion which our Sauiour after his resurrection gaue vnto his two Disciples at Emaus by the which their eyes were opened they knew their Maister presently Luc. 24. Aug. epist. 59. ad Paulin. whome before they knew not they belieued that he was risen againe whome they thought had beene still in his graue The fourth to Vnite the soule with God and with our Neighbour and to dissolue all emnity and discord so teacheth our Sauiour He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud Ioan. 6. Act. 4.31 remaineth in me and I in him An effect which did manifestly appeare in the first Christians who receaued euery day of whome it is sayd that they were one hart one soule The fifth to Enkindle deuotion and Charity towardes God and men euen as bread and wine doth increase the vitall spirits and heate the body The sixth to Extinguish quench the concupiscence of flesh and to preserue from sinne as a remedy against the flesh of our first Father Adam by the which men were defyled and made prone to sinne The seauenth to Fortify and strengthen vs against all the stormes and tribulatiōs of this mortall life Dauid prophesying of this effect sayd Thou hast prouided a table for me Psal 22.5 against those that trouble me So we read that the Prophet Elias persecuted by Queene Iezabel and constrained to fly through the desert 3. Reg. 19 sustained the trauaile of fourty dayes and fourty nights with the refection of that bread which the Angell had brought him which was a figure of this our Angelicall bread the flesh of our Sauiour The eight to Contente fill and reioyce the soule which of it selfe cannot be satisfyed or filled or find any firme or solid repose in things of the earth although she had them all alone euen so Christians in the beginning of the Church made no reckoning of riches but reioyced in possessing nothing and in suffering some thing for the name of Iesus The last to Bring to euerlasting glory for this deified Flesh holily and deuoutly receaued breedeth in the soule an insatiable desire of her heauenly Cōtrey and transporteth and carryeth the hart and affection to heauen and giueth to the body a seed of the glorious resurrection which is signifyed by the wordes of our Sauiour Ioan. 6.54 He that eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Bloud hath life euerlasting and I will rayse him againe at the last day After these considerations the Pilgrime shall admire the greatnes of this guift and benefit and in his admiration shall say this prayer following A speach to God and thankesgiuing CHAP. V. O My soueraigne Lord and sweet Redeemer I behould in all thy diuine workes and especially in the Sacramēt of thy Blessed Body that thy power is infinite that thy wisedome is a depth thy bounty a sea without bottome or bounds thou hast made all this visible world of nothing for the vse of man thou hast allied thy selfe to the house of Adam The liberality of our Sauiour and taking thereof a mortall body and matching and marrying it with thy diuinity wast made man to make man God thou hast giuen this body on the Crosse a ransome for our redemption not content with so great a liberality hast also left it in this mystical Table of thy Church for the nourishing of our soules and the resurrection of our bodyes tying thy selfe with this second band of loue and charity neuer heard of with all euery one of thy members What shall I wonder at in this mystery and guift Thy almightines His power Who hast so wonderfully changed this common and mortall bread into thy glorious and immortall Body by the same authority and power wherwith it made the whole world of nothing but with greater meruaile and miracle for this Body is more worth then a thousand worlds Shall I admire thy wonderfull wisedome His wisedome which in the heauēly Table of this thy body dost teach vs Faith Hope and Charity Humility Obedience Prudence Chastity Fortitude Piety Meeknes and all other goodly Christian vertues And whereas other bodyes could not nourish ours but for a tyme this Body duly receaued doth feed and fat the soule with spirituall riches His boūty and powreth into our flesh the seed of immortality Shall I admire thy infinit bounty in making vs this present of thy Body a present that surpasseth the price of al things created a present of thyne owne selfe of infinit valew for with the same Body thou gauest vs thy soule and deity which are inseparable companions and therefore in this holy Table we haue a liuely figure and pledge of the future felicity which shall be to liue in heauen of thy selfe and to enioye the immortall food of thy selfe what shall I then say of this banquet O my Redeemer but only that I am oppressed and ouerwhelmed in the consideratiō of thy infinite power wisedome and goodnes O deere depth O sweet Sauiour what wilt thou worke in them who haue this grace to receaue thee holily Do me sweet Iesus this fauour thus to eate and receaue thee and to see my selfe alwayes drowned in the depth of thy infinite charity How to Heare Masse CHAP. VI. HAVING finished his prayer he shall heare the diuine Office and goe to Confession if he need and shall heare Masse to receaue afterward which to do profitably it is good to know the manner that euery Christian must keep to heare it well Purity deuotion to heare Masse First he must haue his soule not only pure as much as may be from sinne but also prepared with a speciall deuotion for sinne is a generall barre to all blessinges and therefore whosoeuer will fruitfully assist the diuine mysteryes get good by hearing or dealing with them he must be cleansed from sinne by Confession and if he want meanes therto by holy contrition and sorrow for his faults with purpose to confesse at his next commodity as we haue sayd elswhere Attentiō to help deuotiō Secondly he must be attentiue to euery part thereof to enkindle deuotion Our Pilgrime as also any man els that loueth piety shall consider three thinges which he must haue learned in

the Cathechizme schoole Masse the chiefe actiō in the Church The 1. that Masse is the most noble and high Action that is or euer was done in the Church of God for it is the sacrifice of Christians a sacrifice of all sacrifices the verity and vnity of all the old ones in the law of Nature and of Moyses Old sacrifices gaue no grace which were but figures and shadowes heereof In those were only the bodyes of bruit beastes other offeringes of small vertue or valew as which could not forgiue sinne in this is offered an vnbloudy sacrifice after the order of Melchisedech that very body which was offered on the Crosse in a bloudy sacrifice after the order of Aaron Chrys ● c. 6● ad po ●nti●● 〈◊〉 13 in Mat the body not of the creature but of the Creatour the Body of God of inestimable valew the Body whereby the soueraigne Iustice was fully satisfyed the whole world redeemed and wherwith the soules of the faithfull are nourished and their bodyes quickened and in which the world shall be iudged that Body which maketh an offering most highly acceptable to God and most profitable to his Church because it is the body of his Sonne by the which he hath beene most highly honoured as also because it was offered by the same Sonne himselfe whose vicar only the Priest is as in Baptisme and the other Sacraments wherein our Sauiour as the first cause worketh baptizeth confirmeth absolueth by the meanes of the Priest as by an instrument and this being the body of God there is also his soule and deity and all the Court of heauen to honour the body of their King The second thing which the Pilgrime shall consider is the admirable manner whereby this Body is made present vpon the Altar and there remayneth present How the body of Christ is present in the Masse for it is not by any naturall or common cause but as we haue sayd by the almighty word of our Sauiour who made the world of nothing the which word doth transubstantiate the Bread Wine into his Body and Bloud that is make the substance of his Body succeed the substance of Bread which departeth there remaineth notwithstanding the colour tast and other accidents of Bread and Wine vnder the which as vnder a veile the Body and Bloud of our Sauiour are present as long as these accidents remaine in their being which are so many wonders aboue nature as there be sortes of thinges therein The profit which the well disposed soule receaueth of the Masse and so many testimonies of the infinit power wisedome and goodnes of God the worker of such high effects The third is the fruit we may reape by the good disposition wherewith we heare Masse and the danger in hearing it negligently our Pilgrime therefore shall come prouided and instructed in the meditation of these three sayd thinges and thereby shall take occasion to conceaue a profound respect and a great admiration with a like affection towardes this diuine and most admirable mystery Besides this generall preparatiō he shall endeauour also to be attentiue to all the parts of the Masse and to draw particuler profit from each of them following with his eares eyes mouth and hart all the actions of the Priest sacrificing and therefore hauing answeared him to the prayers and the Confession which he maketh at his entrance vnto the Altar he shall accompany him through all the Actions of the Sacrifice which are foure How the Christian should behaue himselfe in euery part of the Masse CHAP. VII IN the first part of the Masse which is from the beginning to the Offertory Foure parts of the Masse he shall heare the Introite or Entry of the masse the Epistle the Ghospell the Creed the Offertory and specially the prayers and if he vnderstand no latin it shall suffice that he know in generall that the Priest readeth Scripture that he prayeth to God and prepareth himselfe to the sacrifice which knowledge is sufficient to giue life and quickening to his deuotion and so for his part shall prepare himselfe saying his owne prayers to God The Masse an abridgemēt of al old Sacrifices and of all actes of deuotio and specially he shall haue regard to the ceremonies of the Priest which are naturall marks and signes speaking in a language common and intelligible to all the world both learned and ignorant and distilling into the soule the Maiesty of this diuine action by all the meanes wayes that a mystery can be carryed to the hart of the beholders For as the Eucharist is an abridgement of all the old Sacrifices so is the Masse of all the ceremonies which man doth naturally vse to confesse Chrys in Psalm 9. Aug. ciuit l 17. c. 20. Leoho 8. de passio Domini Psal 121. ● reuerence and adore the supreme deity and which holy men haue vsed as holy Scripture do teach vs. Therein the Priest employeth the noblest parts and gestures of his body with all the facultyes of his soule his vnderstanding will and memory He hearkeneth what he readeth and what God sayth to him in his Scriptures he lifteth his eyes to heauen in token that there he acknowledgeth God to reigne whome he imploreth he casteth them downe in signe of humility he lifteth vp and ioyneth his handes Luc. 18.13 Psal 13● Phil. ● stretcheth abroad his armes boweth his knees turnes him from the East vnto the West from the West vnto the East from the South vnto the North from the North vnto the South he kisseth the Altar with his mouth he prayseth God with his tongue he speaketh high he speaketh low he keepeth silence he serueth the smelling with Incense he takes giues the refection of the sacrifice Finally he imployeth togeather with his soule all the senses and religious offices of his body to the homage of this mysterious and diuine seruice and affoardeth as many meanes to excite the hart vnto deuotion The Pilgrime then shall note the whole and shall draw profit from the whole conforming himselfe to the mouinges and exteriour ceremonies and performing interiourly according to his power togeather with the Priest that which they signify In the second part The 2. part of the Masse which is from the Offertory to the Consecration where the Priest offers to God the Bread and Wine to consecrate and pronounceth with a low voice sundry godly prayers asking the diuine assistance He shal offer with him the bread and the wine offered by him and shall offer vp himselfe namely when the Priest turneth him exhorting the assistants to pray to God to the end ●e ●●ceaue this sacrifice in a gratefull odour saying Orate fratres Pray Bre●hren c. at which warning he shall say the prayer which he sayeth who serueth in the name of all the people in these wordes Our Lord receaue this sacrifice at thy handes to the prayse and glory of his name
