Manna of the Popes Masses As for the Hugenets and Heretikes they are well worthy to want it seeing they hold it not worth their labour and therefore for their penance let them bee enioyned to reade euery day two Chapters of that hard harsh and homely booke cal'd the Bible and to haue three Sermons a weeke and with those Garlike and Onions let these base stomakes bee contented seeing they know not nor care not for the dainty and costly Manna of the Masses of the Romish Catholike Church But what then will these babbling Heretikes say and doth the Pope neuer preach at all What matter if hee doe not seeing hee euery day saith Masse which euery sage Catholike knowes is farre better for what tho Christ being vpon earth and in his glorified body after his resurrection calling together his Apostle gaue them not onely commission but commandement also to goe and teach all Nations and preach to euery Creature Yet the holy Mother Church of Rome knowes that hee spoke it as fir for those times but hee left his spirit to his Vikar who should supply and put downe what hee did not And therefore whereas hee forgot to bid his Apostles say Masses the Pope like a good Vikar addes what hee forgets and commands all his Priests that howsoeuer they preach now and then when they please Yet that they misse not to say Masses daily whilst they liue and for the better satisfaction of their Consciences he hath by his power concluded which Christ neuer did nor it seemes could doe that preaching is but a Counsell and Masse-saying a commandement and therefore Masses be necessary and preaching but voluntary If therefore the Popes Holinesse neuer busie himselfe with the pulpit and preaching that 's no great matter as long as hee euery day deuoutly sings his Masse and offers vp the vnbloudie sacrifice which is a sacrifice propitiatory for the sinnes of quicke and dead as sure as hee is the Vikar of Christ But let them stoppe their mouthes and hold their babling for howsoeuer Preaching is a meere voluntary action and a worke of superogation and the least and last matter of twenty that belongs to a Masse and the least and basest of a thousand that his Holinesse hath to doe Yet let these Heretikes know his holinesse doth not forsweare all preaching for howsoeuer vpon those common occasions of calling conuerting or sauing soules he cannot finde time to preach but leaues that to such of his Friers or Priests as haue such tender and precise consciences as to thinke that preaching onely ordinarily begets faith yet vpon other great and solemne occasions as when some Saint is to be canonized at the mediation of some great Prince who paies roially for it and like a Prince Or when some great King comes home from heresie and honours himselfe and makes himselfe so happy as to kisse his holy foote and be reconciled and pay a round ransome for his former rebellion as Henry the fourth did Or when some such blessed worke is attempted archiued as was that Massacre at Paris and in the most great Cities of France where the Heretikes were kill'd vp like Rats or madde Dogges where euer they could be catcht and so were sent to hell by heapes Or when some yong nouice braue spirit bred and brought vp in the Iesuits schoole and that hath past and practised all their spirituall exercises hath attained to that high perfection as to refuse nothing that is inioyned him and in that holy obedience hath stab'd some Heretike or kil'd some great King that would not stoope to the Vikar of Christ as the Iacobine kil'd Henry the third and the young Iesuite had kil'd Henry the fourth but for a tooth oh cursed tooth that hindered the Iesuites from that honour and made them leaue it for that base Frier and raskall Rauilliacke When such blessed occasions such high and holy occasions as these fall out For these are occasions beseeming his Holinesse then hee will vouchsafe to grace the pulpit and in his owne person take paines to make a Sermon sometime blessing his gods of siluer and gold and thanking his great god Dagon sometime praising the Inuenters Plotters and Prosecutors but especially the actors of such noble facts and stirring vp others to the admiration and imitation of them And if the Heretikes bee so madde to deny this that holy and zealous Sermon made by Sixtus V. vpon the death of Henry the third and in praise of that happy Frier that stab'd him with that holy and See the Sermon it selfe set out in lattin and English by F. Warmington the Priest hallowed knife shall prooue and testifie it for euer to their shame and his euerlasting honour And it s not to be doubted but if the Powder-plot in England had beene so happy to haue taken effect His holinesse would haue beene as willing to haue preached himselfe for ioy and made a Sermon of thankefulnesse for the good successe of so great and glorious a worke as his successors must bee serious and busie and prudent in conceiling it from the ages to come seeing it succeeded ceeded not or in diuerting it from the Catholikes to Puritans or other enemies Or at least in denying it and telling the world that it was but an inuention and a tricke of the State put vpon the poore Papists to make them odious And herein appeares the malice of these Heretikes that care not how they sclander the Popes holinesse saying he neuer hath care nor Conscience to preach when its most certaine neuer Huguenot in France more desired to go to a Sermon nor a Puritane in England to a Faft then his Holinesse did to haue preached vpon that occasion if hee could but once haue heard the ioyfull newes from England that the blow had beene giuen But no matter what these blind and malitious Heretikes say or thinke let it suffice God his heart how earnestly hee desired it and will doubtlesse reward him accordingly and all others that lookt and longed for that ioyfull day And thus I hope wee haue giuen a sufficient Apology for his Holinesse against these curious and carping Heretikes will you haue Masses His Holinesse misseth not a morning but hath a Masse to his breakefast will the Heretikes haue preaching his Holinesse preacheth also when there falls out an occasion that is worthy of his paines Quae est Caput totius Orbis And is the Church of Saint Iohn Lateran the principall and head of all Churches vrbis Orbis not of Rome alone but of the whole world But why is not Saint Peters the head Church seeing hee was the head of the Apostles and the Pope is his successor by being his successor is head of the Church If Peter be head of the Apostles and his successor head of all men why then is not his Church head of all Churches Thus doe idle Heretikes carpe and cauill But all good Catholikes know that seeing Pope Gregory the eleuenth almost 300
