the writings of S. Basil of S. Chrysostome and S. John de Damas. 4. They have a great value likewise for S. Gregorys Morals 5. And addicting themselves much to the study of Schole Divinity they read the writings of Thomas Aquinas with great admiration especially his Sum of Theology 6. Their Liturgy is in the antient Greek language which the most of them doe not understand 〈◊〉 They use S. Basils Lyturgy on Festival days and S. Chrysostomes upon others If their Books and their principal Doctors be well consider'd 't is no hard matter to believe their opinions in Points of Faith and Mysteries cannot be much different from ours unless in three particulars only The first in which they dissent from the Roman ●●is about the procession of the Holy Ghost which they will have proceed from the Father alone For say they it from the Father and the Son he must necessarily have a twofold understanding and a twofold will Yet they forbear not to worship him to acknowledge the equality of the three Persons and to baptize in his Name The second is about the C●libation of Priests who amongst them are allowed to marry once and this opinion is founded upon the fourth Canon of the Councel of Gangra which prononces an Anathema against all such as doe scruple to receive the Sacrament from the hands of a marryed Priest Nevertheess it is to be believ'd they doe not absolutely dis●●pprove of the Celibacy in them seeing as we say'd ●efore those which hold the first ranke in their Church are oblig'd after their Ordination to the ●bservance of all the vows of Religion of which Celibacy is the first The third concerns the state of the Soul after he death of the body They believe not as we ●oe that they go immediately to Heaven to receive the recompence either of their good works or ●ad but they are of opinion they are reserv'd the good in places of pleasure the bad in pain and horrour till the day of Judgement otherwise say they that day would be to no purpose all peop●● being sentenc'd before Upon this score it is they reject Purgatory ye●● the Custome of praying for the dead is receiv●● amongst them as amongst us for an Apostolica●● Tradition and a thing practis'd by all the Saints and the whole Church from age to age and th●● they assert that betwixt two places where the●● suppose the good and the bad to attend th●● is a third for those who had a desire to turn b●● defer'd it too long and that it is those Souls whi●● receive benefit by the prayers and sacrifices ma●● to God for them Which is an opinion not ve●● remote from our Purgatory But if it be consider'd that the Greeks admit o●● the seven first occumenical Councels rejecting 〈◊〉 that succeeded them by reason that in the sever●● call'd by Pope Adrian it was decreed that all th●● Decisions of that Councel should ●●e inviolab●● and perpetual and whoever should call any Cou●● cel after that should be accurst it will be 〈◊〉 hard matter to conceive why the Greeks who di●● so little from the Romans in points of Doctrin●● and Faith should be at that distance notwit●●standing in matters of practice and discipline For the Greeks having no regard to all the alte●●tions in the Church of Rome since the say'd sev●● Councels but looking on them as innovations a●● corruptions they think themselves oblig'd to st●● the closer to their antient discipline by th●● adherency to that upbraiding us as Hereticks T●● Catholick on the other side considering the dis●● pline and Ceremonies of the Church but as things indifferent and changeable in themselves the utility of them depending upon certain circumstances that might be alter'd they doe not think themselves oblig'd to esteem them as indispensible precepts but as practices left wholly to the authority of the Church who having establish'd them at one time for particular reasons may retrench them upon another occasion that they shall think just and substitute new in their places reserving still a veneration for those which they change for the Church may lawfully introduce a new discipline and make the people submit to it without condemning what was practic'd before And this they have done several times as they judg'd it convenient But the Greeks regarding the points of their discipline and the antient practice of their Church as inviolable precepts have retain'd them as firmly as their Articles of Faith And this is the great difference betwixt the Greek Church and the Roman These two Churches have the same Sacraments but they agree not in the forme of administration The Greeks baptize with water like the Latins and ●●n the name of the three Persons of the Trinity but they continue the way of immersion which was ●●he antient way of the Church The Romans on the other side considering very well that sometimes ●t may happen they cannot have water sufficient and sometimes not vessals proper to plunge the whole body of the child they would baptise and that moreover the cold of the water in which it is plung'd did many times alter its health and prevaile with the Parents to defer its baptisme with great danger of their Souls they did conceive aspersion might be as well seeing in the primitive times though rarely it was allow'd upon certain occasions The Greeks have the same opinion of the reall presence of Jesus-Christ in the Eucharist and of the Transubstantiation of the bread into his body They adore the Host as we doe upon their knees and as it is removed from one place to another they prostrate themselves like us But the first difference betwixt us is they think it Jud●ical and contrary to the very institution of the Sacrament to use any bread but bread without Levain the reason they give is from the words Recumbentibus Discipulis for say they if the Disciples were sitting at the Table when Jesus-Christ took the bread and chang'd it into his most adorable Body it is manifest it was not leavened bread for it was the custome of the Jews to eat that standing as in the Geremony of the Passeover Another difference is they give the Communion to the people in both kinds following the antient practice of the Church whereas the Church of Rome believing Christ to be entirely in either have thought fit to administer it seperately and upon consideration of divers inconveniences have chang'd that practice in their ordinary distribution They have another peculiar ceremony and that is to consecrate several Hostes upon Holy Thursday reserving them apart to be communicated to those that are sick during that year Confession Extream-Unction Ordination of Priests and Marriages they doe use in the same manner almost with us Nevertheless the bonds of their Marriages are not so strong as ours seeing they doe breake them frequently upon trifling occasions but this is but in some particular occasions and principally in Moscovy Their fasting and abstinence from certain meats much
