Booke saith Our holy Father Sixtus the fourth hath granted to all them that be in the state of grace saying this Prayer immediatly after the eleuation cleane remission of all their sinnes perpetually induring Nor doe these Indulgences onely deliuer those that purchase them but also others euen the soule of the deceased out of Purgatory for thus saith the same Booke of certaine Prayers called Saint Bridgets Oo's Ibid. fol. 59. There be the 15. Oo's the which the holy Virgin Saint Bridget was wont to say dayly before the holy Rood in Saint Pauls Church at Rome who so say this a whole yeere he shall deliuer 15. soules out of Purgatory of his next Kindred and conuert other 15 sinners to good life and other 15. fifteene righteous men of his kind shall perseuere in good life And whatsoeuer ye desire of God ye shall haue it if it bee to the saluation of your soule Nor is this all but they haue Indulgences annexed to certaine Prayers which shall deliuer them also from bodily dangers for thus saith the Booke of another Prayer Ibid. fol. 69. This Prayer was shewed to Saint Augustine by reuelation of the holy Ghost and who that deuoutly say this Prayer or heare read or beareth about them shall not perish in fire nor water neither in battell nor in iudgement and he shall not die of sodaine death no venim shall poyson him that day Nor is this yet all but they haue other Prayers whereunto are annexed such powerfull Indulgences as hee that saith them cannot be damned nor goe to Purgatory but must needs goe to Heauen immediately when hee dyes let the Reader iudge for these bee the words This Prayer made Saint Augustine affirming Ibid. fol. 65. who that say it daily kneeling shall not dye in sinne and after this life shall goe to the euerlasting ioy and blisse And the Conclusion of the former Prayer is this VVhatsoeuer he who saith this Prayer asketh of God Fol. 69. hee shall obtaine if it bee to the saluation of his soule and when thy soule shall depart thy body it shall not enter to Hell Nay they haue one Prayer which shall do more then all these witnesse the words for saith the Booke This Prayer is written in a Table that hanged at Rome in Saint Peters Church neere to the high Altar Ibid. fol. 78. there as our holy father the Pope is wont to say Masse and who that deuoutly with a contrite heart dayly say this Orizon if hee bee that day in the state of eternall damnation then this eternall paine shall bee changed him into temporall paine of Purgatory and if he haue deserued the paine of Purgatory it shall bee forgotten and forgiuen through the infinite mercy of God Of the infinitnesse of Gods mercy we are well assured and doubt not but by that mercy all sinne may bee forgiuen and this we know to be good Diuinity but that God forgiues sinnes by that meanes as by the saying of that Prayer is new Diuinity coynd in Rome but shall neuer be currant in Gods Church And yet this is not all but as the former Prayer makes a man happy when he dies so they haue also a Prayer that shall make a man happy all his life long and prosper in what hee goes about for thus saith the Booke The Prayer of Lot Iacob and Moses Ibid. fol. 10● for them that haue taken any new great thing vpon them that the would haue brought to good end VVe neuer knew till now that Lot Iacob and Moses did vse the same Prayer but when they made this Booke they might say any thing for they knew not one of a thousand had a Bible and so there was none that but either would not or could not controll them And that our English Papists may know the better what a Iewell they haue of this Booke and for that there bee diuers if I mistake not which beare this same title therefore that they may the better know it when they haue it and make account of it as it deserues I will let them know that there bee other precious Romish Iewels in this Cabinet there is a Prayer bearing this title Ibid. fol. 101. Ista nomina Regum videlicet Jasper Melchior Balthasar 12. Apostoli quorum nomina sunt haec Petrus Paulus c. Mihi assistant in omnibus necessitatibus meis ac me defendent liberent ab omnibus periculis tentationibus angustijs corporis animae ab vniuersis malis praesentibus praeteritis futuris me custodiant nunc in aeternum Amen Ibid. fo 101. Prou. 18.10 A deuout Inuocation and Prayer of all the blessed names of our Lord Jesu Christ as wee find them written in holy Scripture then followes a Prayer beginning thus and thus adorned OMNIPOTENS DOMINVS ✚ CHRIST VS ✚ MESSIAS ✚ SOTHER ✚ EMANVEL ✚ c. And so it goes on with 43. names and as many red Crosses and betwixt euery name a Crosse after all which the Prayer is that those names may defend and blesse him that saith it Nay not onely these names of Christ but euen the same Prayer is made of the VVise-men that came from the East to worship Christ whom they call Kings and the Prayer is this These names of the three Kings Jasper Melchior and Balthasar and the 12. Apostles whose names are Peter Paul c. Assist me in all my necessities defend me and free me from all dangers temptations and extremities of soule and body and keepe me from all euil past present and to come now and for euermore Amen Salomon told vs that The name of the Lord is a strong Tower and the Righteous flying to it are helped But it seemes Salomon was short in his Diuinity for heere bee names of men not one but many that can doe it as well Moreouer you Romish Catholickes know to your speciall edification This is the Booke wherein you haue that rare piece of Deuotion which I dare say Gods Church neuer had namely a Prayer which the Diuell taught Saint Bernard for saith the Booke VVhen Saint Bernard was at his Prayers Ibid. fol. 125. the Diuell said to him I know certaine Verses in the Psalter who that say them dayly shall not perish and shall haue knowledge of the day that hee shall die but the Fiend would not shew them to him who then said I shall say dayly the whole Psalter and so I shall be sure to say those verses but rather then hee should doe so the Fiend shewed him those Verses And so follow 12. Verses of the Psalmes taken for the most part our of the 119. Psalmes and there is a Title ouer them in these words Precor te 〈◊〉 Princeps egregi● Gabriel fortissimè agonista certantium exurge mihi in adiutoriu● aduersus malignantes Esto mecum contra aduersarios meos omnes operantes iniquitatem deleg● versuros busies ●●●na violentes omnes aduersantes mihi
