famous cities therof ware Axiama Persepolis and Diospolis By the name of Iupiter thei vnderstode the whole heauen Thei chiefely honour the Sonne whom thei calle Mitra Thei worship also the Mone the planet Venus the fyre the earthe the water and the windes Thei neither haue anltare nor temple nor ymage but celebrate their deuine seruice vndre the open heauen vpon some highe place for that purpose

blowe into it or caste in any deade thing or any durte or puddle it is deathe to the doer The Persians beare suche reuerence to their floudes that thei neither wasshe pysse nor throwe deade carcasse into them No not so muche as spitte into theÌ„ But very reuerentlye honour their water after this maner Comminge to lake mere floude ponde or springe thei trenche out a litle diche and ther cut thei

after his deathe how good a husbonde he hath bene for the coÌ„mune wealthe Suche of the subiectes as dwelle vpon the sea coast are taxed to paie money But those that enhabite toward the mydde londe

death Neither is it lawfull for any other of the Persians to execute any thyng against any of his house or stock that maie sieme in any wyse cruelle Euery one of them marie many wiues holde many coÌ„cubines also beside for the encrease of issue The king Proclaimeth rewarde vnto him that within one yere begetteth most children Fiue yere aftre thei are begotten thei come not in the fathers sight by a certein ordenaunce vsed emong theim but are broughte vp continually emong the women To the ende that if the childe fortune to dye in the time of his infancie their fathers grief maie be the lesse Thei vse not to marie but in one tyme of the yere toward midde Marche The bridegrome eateth to his supper an apple of that countrey or a litle of the maribone of a Chamel and so without any

all the Articles of the Christiane faithe And the Godfathers answeryng yea for it the Prieste breathyng thrise vpon his face exorciseth it and cathechiseth it Aftre that doeth he seuen thinges to the childe in ordre Firste he putteth into the mouth hallowed salt Secondely he mingleth earthe and his spattle toguether and smereth the eyes eares nosethrilles of the childe Thirdly giuyng it suche name

in maner of a crosse in the name of the holie Trinitie the father the sonne and holie ghost In the whiche name also all thother Sacramentes are ministred Fiuethly weting his thumbe in the holie ointement he maketh therewith a Crosse on the childes foreheade Sixthly he putteth a white garment vppon it Seuenthly he taketh it in the haÌ„de a Candle brennyng The Iewes before thei be Christened by the determinacion of the counsaile holden at Agathone are cathechised that is to saie are scholers as the enstruction of our beleue nine monethes And are bouÌ„d to fast fourtie daies to dispossesse them selues of all that euer thei haue and to make free their bonde men And looke whiche of their children thei haue Circumcised acording to Moses lawe hym are thei bounde to banishe their companie No merueile therfore if thei come so vnwillingly to christeÌ„dome Bishopping whiche the Latines calle Confirmacion a confirming a ratifieng establishyng aucthorisyng or allowyng of that went before is the second Sacramente And is giueÌ„ of the Bishoppe onely before the Aultare in the Churche to suche as are of groweÌ„ yeres and fastyng if it maie be aftre this maner As many as shal be Confirmed come all together with euery one a godfather And the Bishoppe aftre he hath saied one oraison ouer theÌ„ all wetyng his thumbe in the holie oile maketh a crosse vpoÌ„ eche of their foreheades In the name of the father sonne and holie ghoste And giueth hym a blowe on the lefte chieke for a remembraunce of the Sacrament that he come not for it againe The godfathers to the ende the enoilyng should not droppe awaie or by negligence bee wiped awaie clappe on a faire filette on the foreheade whiche thei iudge to be vnlawfully takeÌ„ awaie before the seuenth daie The holie fathers estemed this Sacrament so highly that if the name giuen to the childe at his Christendome fâ—â—med not good the Bisshoppe at the giuyng hereof mighte thaunge it The thirde Sacramente is holie Ordres whiche in the firste Churche was giuen likewise of the Bishoppe onely in the monethe of Decembre But now at sixe seueralle tymes of the yere that is to saie the fowre Saturdaies in the embre wekes whiche ware purposely ordeined therefore vpon the Saturdaie whiche the Churche menne calle Sitientes because the office of the Masse for that daie appoincted beginneth with that woorde and vpon Easter euen This Sacrament was giuen onely to menne and but to those neither whose demeanour and life dispocisioÌ„ of bodie and qualitie of minde ware sufficiently tried and knoweÌ„ Aftre the opinion of some there ware seuen ordres or degrees wherby the holy fathers would vs to beleue that there ware â—â—ueÌ„ speciall influences as it ware printed in the soule of the receiuer wherby eche one for eche ordre was to be compted an hallowed manne Aftre the mindes of other there ware nine That is to saie Musicens whiche encludeth singing and plaieng Doore kiepers Reders Exorcistes Acholites Subdeacon Deacon Prieste and Bishop And for all this it is coÌ„pted but one Sacramente by the reason that all these tende to one ende that is to saie to consecrate the Lordes bodie To euery one of these did the Counsaile of Tolede in Spaine appoincte their seueralle liueries and offices in the Churche The Doorekepers had the office of our Common Sexceine to opeÌ„ the churche dores to take hede to the churche and to shutte the dores And had therfore a keie giuen vnto theim when thei ware admitted to this ordre The Reader in signe and token of libertie to reade the Bible and holie stories had a greate booke giuen him The Exorcistes serued to commaunde euill spicices out of menne and in token therof had a lesse booke giuen them The Acholite had the bearyng and the orderyng of the Tapers Candelstickes and Cruetres at the Altare and therfore had a Candlesticke a Taper and two emptie Cruorettes deliuered hym The Subdeacon mighte take the offring and handle the Chalice and the Patine caâ—ie theim to the

another full of watre or Chaptres and those againe into Paroches and to set that goodly ordre that yet continueth aswell emong the clergie as the laietie That the parishe should obeie their lawfull Persone the Persone the Deane the Deane the Bishoppe the Bishoppe the Archebishoppe The Archbishoppe the Primate or Patriarche the Primate or Patriarche the Legate the Legate the Pope the Pope the generalle Counsaile the generalle Counsaile God alone For the fourthe Sacramente it is holden that euery prieste rightly priested acordyng to the keies of the Churche hauing an encente to consecrate and obseruynge the fourme of the woordes hathe power of wheaten breade to make the very bodie of Christe and of Wine to make his very bloude Christe our Lorde hym selfe the daye before he suffred kepte it solemply with his disciples and consecrated and ordeined it continually to be celebrated and eaten in the remembraunce of him selfe And about this mattier a man had nede of a great faythe Firste to beleue the breade to be chaunged into the body and the wine into the bloude of Christe Againe thoughe this be done euery daye that yet Christ for all that should growe neuer a whitte the bigger for the making nor the lesse for the eatinge Thirdely that the Sacrament being deuyded into many partes Christ should yet remaine whole in euery cromme Fourthly that thoughe the wicked eate it yet should not it be defiled Fiuethly that it bringeth to as many euyll as receius it death and to the good euerlasting life Sixthly that it tourneth not into the nature of the eater to his nourishemente as other meate dothe but turneth the eater contrariwise into the nature of it selfe And yet being eaten that it is rapte into heauen vnhurte or vntouched Seuenthly that in so smalle a syse of breade and wine the infinite and incomprehensible Christe God and manne shoulde be comprehended Then that one and the self same bodye of

Christe at one very instaunce shoulde be in many places and of many menne receiued at ones and in sondrye parcelles Ninethly that thoughe the bread it selfe be chaunged into the very flesshe of Christe and the wine into his bloude that yet to all the sences thei remaine breade and wine and neither flesshe ne bloud Further that all these coÌ„modities coÌ„teined in these verses folowing should happen vnto those that worthely eate it It putteth in mynde and kindleth encreaseth hope and strengtheneth Mainteineth clenseth restoreth giues life and vniteth Stablissheth beliefe abates the foode of sinne and all vnclennes quencheth Finally to be very profitable for the saluacioÌ„ aswell of those liuyng as deade for whoÌ„ it is specially offred by the priest in the Masse And therefore to haue to name Eucharistia communio In the beginning of the Christiane faithe and yet amonge certeine schismatiques as thei saye one whole lofe was consecrated of suche bigguenesse as wheÌ„ the Priest had broken it in a platter into smalle pieces it mighte suffise the whole multitude that ware at the masse to participate of For in time paste the Christianes came euery day to communicate by a speciall commaundemente and ordenaunce Aftrewarde but ones in a wicke and that on the Sonday But whan it began to be skant well kepte vppon the Sonday neither then was it commaunded that euery manne should receiue it thrise in the yere or ones at the leaste at euery Easter And that euery christian manne when he stode in any daungier of death beynge whole of minde should receiue it as a waifaring viande to staye him by the waye with as good preparacion of bodye and soule as he possibly mighte Matrimonie whiche is the lawefulle coupling of the manne and the woman broughte in by the lawe of nature the lawe of God the lawe of all peoples and the lawe ciuile is the fiueth Sacrament The holy fathers woulde haue but one mariage at ones that not in secrete but with opeÌ„ solemnitie eyther in the churche or in the churche porche and so that the priest be called to the matier Who shold firste examine the man and then the womanne whether thei bothe consent to be maried together Yf thei be agreed whiche is chiefely in this case requisite he taking them bothe by the right handes coupleth them together in the name of the holy and vnseperable trinitie the father the sonne and the holy ghoste And commaundeth and exhorteth them that thei alwaye remembring this their coupling of their owue free wille consent as longe as thei liue neuer forsake one a nother but loue honour one another be debonaire and buxome one to another giuing them selues to procreacion and not to lecherous luste And that thei honestly and diligently bringe vp suche children as God sendeth them of theyr bodies Aftre that he affiaunceth theÌ„ both with one ringe And sprinckling holy water vpon them reacheth them a stole and leadeth them into the churche where yf thei ware not blessed afore he blesseth them knieling before the altare The woman hath on a redde fillet or frontelette and ouer that a white veile withoute the whiche it is not lawfulle for her fro that daye forewarde to go oute of doores abrode or to sitte by any manne Twelue thinges ther be whiche the holy fathers woulde haue to barre persons from contracting of matrimonie and to disseuer them againe yf thei be contracted Errour of person that is to saye mistaking one for another A betrowthing vpon a condicion CoÌ„sanguinitie or kindred An opeÌ„ crime Diuersitie of secte Force or coÌ„strainte Holy ordres a BoÌ„de or former contracte Commune or open honestie Affinitie and Dishabilitie of engeÌ„drure The sixteth Sacramente is penaunce or repentaunce giuen of Christe as it ware for a wracke boorde wherby men are preserued fro drowninge Eche christian oughte vndoubtedly to beleue that this consisteth in foure poinctes To saie in RepeÌ„tauÌ„ce of our sinnes Canonicalle coÌ„fession Absolucion and Satisfaction or amendes Firste let him sorowe not with a lighte forthinckinge but with a moste earneste and bittre repentaunce in the botome of his conscience for the puritie and innocencie that he had gotten eyther by baptisme or the benefite of former repentaunce and nowe hathe eftsones loste and forgone throughe sinne And let him hope with this repentaunce to be reconciled to the fauour of God againe And let him humbly and truly with his owne mouthe confesse to a wise prieste in the steade of God all those offences wherwith he knoweth him selfe to haue loste his innocencie and clennesse and to haue prouoked the wrathe of GOD againste him selfe And let him assuredly beleue that the same prieste hath power giuen him of Christe as beinge his vicare or deputie on earthe to absolue him of all his sinnes Finally for satisfaction or amendes making for the faulte lette him not with grudginge but chierfully and gladly doe what so euer he shal be coÌ„mauÌ„ded Beleuig with vndoubted faith that he is absolued and quyte of all assone as the priest in dewe forme of wordes hath pronounced the absolucion The seuenth and the laste SacrameÌ„t is the laste enoynting by an oyle that is made to this vse by
