vnto vs by God himself to direct al our praiers vnto God All the praiers in the olde Testament and in the newe are wholy and onely made vnto god And so we are commaunded to do Psal. 50. Call vppon me in the day of trouble and I will deliuer thee and thou shalt glorifie me Christ taught his Apostles to pray vnto God Our father c He willeth them To aske in his name and it shal be graunted them S. Paule 1. Tim. 2. That there is one mediatour betweene God and vs 1. Iohn 2. If any man sinne saith he we haue an aduocate with the father Iesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sinnes As for praier to the Saintes departed or to anie Angell we haue neither example nor commaundement in all the scripture The Angell Apoc. 19. refused to bee woorshipped of his felowe seruaunt Augustine de vera religione cap. 55. saith Honoramus Angelos charitate non seruitute We honour the Angelles in louing them not in dooing seruice vnto them And of the Saintes departed he saith Honorandi sunt Martyres propter imitationem non adorandi propter religionem We must honour the Martyrs so that wee make them patterns to imitate and follow we may not woorship them in way of religion Chrisostome commendeth very much the woman of Canaan for that she came not to the Apostles for her daughter but directly to Christ Vide prudentiam mulieris non rogat Iacobum non obsecrat Ioannem non pergit ad Petrum See the wisedome of the woman shee dooth not entreate Iames she dooth not beseech Iohn she goeth not to Peter but directly to Christ And in the same place If thou haue a suite to a man thou askest what he dooth and whether he be at leisure or no And thou hearest that either he is a sleepe or not at leisure and peraduenture the seruant will not vouchsafe to giue thee an answeare But if thou goest to God thou shalt need none of these thinges neither minister nor Porter nor mediatour Christ alone both God and man is the onely Mediatour both of redemption and intercession Augustine lib. 2. cap. 8. contra epist. Parmeniani Pro quo nullus interpellat sed ipse pro omnibus hic vnus verusque mediator est He that praieth for al and none for him he is the onely and true Mediatour Epiphanius contra Colliridianos Ne cōmedas de ligno etsi pulchrum est lignum non tamen ad esum etsi pulcherrima est Maria et virgo et honorata non tamen ad adorationem nobis data sed ipsa adorans eum qui ex ipsa carne genitus est Thou mayest not eate of the tree said God to Adam though the tree bee faire and pleasant to behold yet is it not giuen to be eaten on So though the virgin Marie be most beautifull in al vertue an holy virgin and honorable yet was she not giuen to be woorshipped but she her selfe did woorship him which was borne of her as touching the fleshe He sayth further Sit in honore Maria pater filius et spiritus sanctus adoretur Mariam nemo adoret Let the virgin Marie be had in honour the father the sonne and the holy Ghost must be woorshipped as for the virgin Marie let no man woorship her All the Psalmes of Dauid all the praiers of the godly throughout the whole scripture are directed vnto God alone And in deede this is the olde and safe way warranted by the woorde of god As for the inuocation of Saintes in comparison of this way is a very newe waye though it be found in diuers auncient writers But it is a way found out of verie late tyme to turne all the Psalmes of Dauid into praiers to the virgin Marie and to turne and chaunge Dominus into Domina the Lorde into our Ladye as Bonauentura a schooleman of great estimation among the Papists hath doone As for example Where Dauid saith in the fourth Psalme Heare me when I call O God of my righteousnes c. Bonauentura sayth Cum inuocarem exaudiuisti me domina et e sublimi solio tuo mei dignata es recordari When I cried thou heardest me O our Lady and vouchedstsafe to remember mee from thy highe throne Where Dauid saith in the sixtenth Psalme Preserue me O Lord for in thee haue I put my trust Bonauen saith Preserue me O our Lady for in thee haue I put my trust Where Dauid saith in the 54. Psal. Saue me O god for thy names sake auenge me in thy strēgth Bonau saith Domina in nomine tuo saluum me fac et ab iniustitiis meis libera me Saue me O Lady for thy names sake deliuer me from mine vnrighteousnes Where Dauid saith in the 110. Psalme The Lord said vnto my Lord sit thou on my right hand vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole Bonauentura saith The Lord said vnto our Lady O my mother sit on my right hand c. And not onely the Psalmes of Dauid turneth he thus but also the Song of Moses the praier of Ezechias Te Deum Benedictus Benedicite Quicunque vult and the whole Letanie And yet notwithstanding these blasphemies Pope Sixtus the fourth of that name did canonize this Franciscane Frier for a Saint in the yeare of our Lord 1482. But this is a new way and a great way about to turne our praiers from God most mercifull most mightie most able to helpe vs and most willing to heare our praiers and to poure them out not onely vnto the dead who whether they heare vs or no we can not tell but also to stockes and stones which haue eyes and see not eares and heare not mouthes and speake not handes and handle not feete and walke not But it is true that foloweth in the same Psalme They that make them are like vnto them and so are all they that put their trust in them Let vs therefore stand vpon the wayes and consider c. The old way to minister the Lordes supper is that which our sauiour Christe did goe in himselfe and commaunded his Apostles to walke in also set downe in the 26. cap. of Sainte Matth. the. 14 of Sainte Marke the 22. of Saint Luke and the 11. of the 1. Cor. That Christe in the same night that he was betrayed toke breade and when he had geuen thankes hee brake it and gaue it saying Take eate this is my bodie whiche is giuen for you doe this in remembraunce of me Likewise after Supper he tooke the cup and when he had giuen thankes he gaue it them saying This is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for manie for remission of sinnes doe this as ofte as ye shall drinke it in remembraunce of me for as ofte as ye shall eate of this bread and drinke of this cuppe ye shew the Lordes death vntill he come The Apostles

The masse of the faithfull This I take to bee the true interpretation and occasion of vsinge this woorde Missa For the interpretation that Pope Innocentius maketh is altogether foolishe Ipsum sacrificium id est hostia dicitur missa quasi transmissa primum nobis a patre per sanctificationem postea patri a nobis per oblationem The sacrifice or host is called Missa because it is sente ouer first from the father vnto vs by consecration then from vs to the father by oblation c. Loe he maketh a tenise ball of Christes blessed bodie in one day to bee tossed from heauen to earth from earth to heauen aboue tenne thousand times For in euerie masse it is sent vp and downe and if at one instant some Priestes doe consecrate and some do sacrifice at one instant it is sent vp and downe which is a miracle not much marked of the Papistes themselues But to cease to speake of Nocentius mee thinke I heare a Papist say Is the masse so old in deede And did Saint Ambrose say masse Yea surely S. Ambrose saide masse he confesseth it himselfe it can not bee denied his owne bookes are extant But I adde that that masse which he said was not the Popishe masse worthelie banished out of England but the old masse indeed a communiō As for the late Popish masse it was more hundred yeares in the wombe of the Romishe Church while it was conceiued formed fashioned and perfected than is the Elephant yeares in the dammes bellie or man monethes in his mothers wombe It was not made altogether but patched vp by little and little Celestinus made that part that is called Introitus the beginning of the masse about the yeare of the Lord 430. Gregorie the firste made manie prayers in the masse and appointed Kyreeleson to bee nine times repeated about the yeare of our Lorde 590. Gelasius appointed Graduale to bee sounge about the yeare of our Lorde 500. Pelagius the commemoration of the dead Anno Domini 560. Eutichianus is saide to haue made the Offertorie almost three hundred yeares after Christe And one Adam de sancto victore a Monke of Paris the Sequenties of late time Leo the thirde decreed that in paine of depriuation the Priestes should not say masse no not in the day time without a candle and that the altar shoulde be censed with frankencense 800. yeares after Christ Moreouer the holy Canon as they call it of their masse is not of that antiquitie that some suppose it to be Gregorie seemeth to say that one Scolasticus made it But Fasciculus temporum and Innocentius the thirde say that Gelasius was the principall compilar of it So that by the testimonie of two Popes whose witnesses is good against themselues there was no such Canon in the Church certeine hundred yeares as is vsed nowe in the Popishe masse Polidorus thinketh that no one Pope made it but that a great number of Popes one succeeding an other put to their helpinge handes and made it suche a creature as it nowe appeareth The same Innocentius the thirde is he which in the yeare of our Lorde 1215. concluded in a Councell at Laterane that by the woordes of consecration the breade and wine were chaunged and transubstantiat into the bodie and blood of our Sauiour Christ Which ground being suerly laide they would not stay there but builded vp still the tower of Babel For his successour Honorius the thirde about the yeare of our Lorde GOD 1218. appointed the Sacrament to bee lift vp ouer the Priestes head and the people to fall downe and worshippe it and to set vp their Idoll in the highest throne of maiestie Vrbanus the fourth in the yeare of our Lord GOD 1262. did institute that great solemne and principall feast called Corpus Christi day wherein the Sacrament shoulde bee carried about in processions in a monstrant made for that purpose that the people might see it thoroughe the glasse Hee graunted also that all they that did fall downe and worshippe it shoulde haue pardons for manie dayes And to make all thinges perfect Thomas Aquinas made a peculiar office or masse for Corpus Christi as Platina and Onuphrius doe testifie Loe these are the Authors of the Popishe masse and thus hath it bene patched vp by little and little As for the masse de quinque vulneribus they will neither haue Christ nor his Apostles nor any mortall man to bee the maker of it in earth For the verie masse booke it selfe saith that it came downe from heauen and was sent to Pope Boniface lying sicke vppon his bedde by the Archangell Raphaell with this message from GOD that whosoeuer being sicke of whatsoeuer sicknesse should cause the said masse to bee saide for him fyue times he should recouer his health And if it shoulde bee saide likewise fiue times for anie soule in Purgatorie by and by it shoulde bee deliuered from thence This is sett foorth in print in the masse booke it selfe which was printed at Paris in the yeare of our Lorde one thousand fiue hundred and sixteene If any man haue the booke let him turne to Commune sanctorum and the two and twentith leafe and there he shall finde it But since that time which was 60. yeares agoe the light of the Gospell hath so shined in the worlde and so discouered the darcke cloudes of Poperie that in the later printes for verie shame of the worlde they haue left it out Shall wee thinke that either Christ or his Apostles or Saint Ambrose or anie auncient father did euer say anie of these masses which either were clouted vp by so manie Popes so manie yeares after Christ or sodenlie at once inuented to mainteine and increase superstition and idolatrie Is it not good counsell that the Prophet Ieremie giueth vs in this place To stand vppon the wayes and consider to aske of the olde wayes whiche is best and to walke therein that wee may finde rest vnto our soules That which Christ did and commaunded his Apostles to doe that are wee sure is good But the chiefest pointes of the Popish masse as transubstantiation the deniall of one part of the Sacrament to the lay people sacrifice propitiatorie for the quicke and the deade and priuat masse these thinges were not once dreamed vppon in the primitiue church Is it like that the Apostles at the last supper when our sauiour Christ sitting with them toke breade and after giuing of thankes gaue them saying Take eate this is my bodie which is giuen for you did once imagine of transubstantiation They had bene brought vp in the Lawe of God from their infancie which was openly reade in their synagogues euerie Sabbaoth day They knew no doubt the vsuall phrase of the scripture which giueth to the Sacrament the name of the thinge whereof it is a Sacrament Circumcision was a Sacrament of the couenant that God made with Abraham Isaac and Iacob and is called the Couenant
