he saith to this child Iesus Quid me respectas c. Why saith he doest thou frowne on me thou prety child art thou angry with me for desiring thy milke doest thou ch●d me that I dare presume to aske the milke of thy mothers teates this is all the cause hee layeth of Christ his anger what should a man say to this what would a Iew say what will an Atheist thinke of it surely they will deride and laugh at that Religion that allowes it if our Christ bee such a one as is angry at such a cause But say I pray thee thou Romish Iesuite thou wantest neither wit nor learning to giue answere speakest thou in iest or earnest if in Iest then knowest thou with whom thou iestest considerest thou that it is Iesus of Nazareth the great one the holy one of God of whose kingdome there shall be no end hee that is the brightnes of Gods glory the engrauen forme of his person he at whose remembrance the diuels tremble and to whom all knees bow in heauen earth and hell and darest thou exercise thy wit and whet thy stile practise thy poeticall vaine vpon him and vnto him that now hauing conquered sinne death and hel sitteth now at the right hand of Maiesty in the highest places darest thou present such a Petition as this O pretty child doe not enuy mee that I should touch thy mothers paps with which I perceiue thou wilt suffer none to play but thy selfe oh be not angry that I long for that which is thine namly for the milk of thy mothers teates didst thou euer find in Scriptures or sound antiquity that any holy man did euer conceiue of him or speake to him on this fashion no for its rather a sporting speech ●it to be spoken to a playing child then a salutation sit to be tendered to the Son of God and Sauiour of the world But if thou say thou speakest in earnest according to the truth of Religion and soundnesse of diuinity then tell me I pray thee in earnest is this any part of christian faith or is it catholike deuinity that Christ Iesus is offended with that man that shall desire to touch the Virgin Maries paps or to taste of her milke not in this regard that its a thing not possible and therefore indeede not to be wished by a Christian but because they be peculiarly propperly his paps and his milke still as they were when hee was an Infant If this bee Romish diuinity alas for the sheep that are fed in such pastures and ●ild with such doctrine for this is fundamētally both false impious false for if it be true that the holy scriptures teach that Iesus Christ is now no more to be knowne nor conceiued of according to the flesh that is as a meere and mortall man but as a glorified Man a spirituall conquerour of his enemies and spirituall head of his Church If this I say be true that hee is no longer to be knowne as a man as hee was vpon earth then it is false that he is still to bee conceiued of and spoken vnto as a playing child Besides it is impious and irreligious and a step to Atheisme to imagine that Christ our God Sauior is offended for such an imaginary toy as this is to touch his mothers paps or to desire her milke what enemies of our religiō would not loudly laugh at this our Christ whom we so magnifie that we make him the rest and comfort of our soules to be● such a one as hee is heere described namely one that chides him that dare touch his mothers paps for so saith the verse Tune meas Mammas improbe tune meas That is Darest thou desire the teates my foode lies in Alas how shall the mouthes of Turkes and Iewes be stopped from blaspheming and saying Is this your Christ is this the glory of Christianity Is this he whom you make a God are these the sins he is offended withall Surely no wayes can such and fowler blasphemies bee preuented but that the Christian world publikely renounce condemne and curse this damned doctrine as being the priuate and impious blasphemy of the Machiuillian Iesuits but not the Catholike doctrine of Christianity For we cannot deny but there is a generation of vipers bred of the corruption and putrifaction of an old and sinfull world calling themselues Iesuites or Priests of the society of Iesus who as they come neerest to God in their mouthes so are they in their hearts if their courses can discouer them the furthest from him With these fellowes it may bee it is a doctrine or a peece of deuotion that its a great sin for a man to desire from Iesus some of his mothers milk but if they be asked who made this a sin they must answere themselues if what law euen their owne fancies But as for the catholike and christian Church she doth renounce it But to proceede is it not strange that a witty and learned Iesuite should frame such a speech as this vnto Iesus Christ for thus to begin Oh blessed Child why art thou angry at me and offended with me oft hast thou said to me being angry at my sins c. would put a man in hope that some great matter followed for vpon so good a beginning would not a man presume that some good confession of sinnes should follow as this I must confesse O Lord I haue sinned in ignorance in selfe loue in security in hardnesse of heart in incontinency in mallice in hatred in couetousnesse in omis●ion of my duties in commission of euill c. for these O Lord and for any of these thou mightest say vnto mee thou miserable wretch how darest thou thus pollute my name and as farre as in thee lyeth crucifie me againe by these thy sins how darest thou dust and ashes thus vilifie my eternall Law the curse whereof thou hast hereby incurred how darest thou beare my Name or looke mee in the face whom thou hast thus prouoked See Watson the Priest his iudgement of the Iesuit often in his Quidlibets Costerus in Euchiridio cap de ●aleba●u sacerd Sacerdos si forn●catur aut demi concubinam foueat tamet si grau● sacriligio se obitringet Grau●us tamen peccat si mali● monitum contrahat Oh that our eares might haue heard a Iesuite saying thus and then in reason a man would haue expected some good conclusion from such a beginning But why should we looke for either reason or religion from a Iesuit if that be true which their brother Watson the priest hath written of them To haue supposed Christ to be angry with him for breaking the Morrall Law had beene good diuinity and no poeticall immagination but these holy Fathers haue no such faults nay see how innocent Lambes the Iesuits be that when Christ is most angry with a Iesuit and rebukes him for sinne he hath none to lay to his charge nor finde any whereof This is

our society being inlarged from 60. to many hundreds it grew in greatnesse but decayed in goodnesse and then most of them were idle bellies and such whose God was their belly and these are the bellies and thighes of brasse and then still growing line number and falling into more voluptuousnesse and carnalty they were so drowned in pleasures that their hearts were hardned against all good counsell and admonitions these were the legs of Iron and lastly many of vs are such as tho they liue in our golden society yet they are altogether earthly minded men and these be the feete of Clay Hereupon saith he It is out of all doubt that as our society suddenly begun so shall it suddenly come to nought seeing it dayly falls from ill to worse O my brethren saith he such a spectacle are wee made Now therfore least this Image of ours be broken in pieces as that other was we must goe to our father Ignatius that good Alchimist and learne of him how we may be transformed frō clay and yron into gold againe let vs therefor● goe into the furnace and purge our selues Thus farre the Iesuites Sermon But if their liues be lookt at for the 30. yeares since he spake wee shall find that either they could not yet speake with Ignatius or if they did he was no true Alchimist but a quacksaluer and could not direct them or if hee did the furnace is to hot for all the world can witnesse they are not purged from their ambitions couetousnesse treacheries bloud cruelty deceitfulnes all carnalties but haue grown on riper in all rottennes and more fit to be driuen and dasht in pieces but if the Iesuits wil follow their Allegory stil and aske vs how they can be broken for that Image was broken with a stone cut out without hands I answere seeing they haue found the Image I can find the stone a Christ is the great and chiefe corner stone who can and will grind to powder all that exalt themselues against him And was cut out without hands euen made man without the helpe of man But by and vnder him his holy religion setled in this Iland in England vnder a woman in Scotlād vnder a child is a stone cut out without hands for it was the Lords doing was maruelous in the eyes of all the world Morouer his Maiesties comming to vs and setling with vs and vniting of vs with our ancient Brethren and neighbours of Scotland who but God could haue done it in that peaceable and blessed manner as it was Sure it was a stone cut out without hands of man It was the Lords owne worke all the world excepting the mā of sin the Iesuits their wicked adherents reioyced to see it Know therfore you Iesuits that this stone cut out by God euen this true faith professed and setled in this Iland and this gracious King whom God hath sent vs to be the zealous defēder of that faith shal cast down the great excellent and terrible Iesuiticall Image smiting him vpon the feete of yron and clay and breaking them to pieces till your yron and clay and brasse and siluer gold if you haue any left be broken altogether and become like chaffe of the sommer flowers and the winde shall carry you away till there be no place found for you And then the stone that smote the Image euen this holy Religion now professed maintained in England shall become a great mountaine that is shal be enlarged and fill the whole earth which as we are assured will be true of our Religion which is the glory of our land and that which vnites vs to Christ the true corner stone so we doubt not it shall be also true of our Soueraigne and his seede that they after they haue broken the Iesuiticall Image shal against Gog and Magog and Antechrist and all his Adherents become a great and strong mountaine and fill the whole earth with the glory of their renowned deedes and let earth and heauen say Amen with the honorable religious and loyall Citty of London and all good Christians and with Your humbly deuoted seruant in Iesus Christ W.
