A09811	Altare Christianum: or, The dead vicars plea Wherein the vicar of Gr. being dead, yet speaketh, and pleadeth out of antiquity, against him that hath broken downe his altar. Presented, and humbly submitted to the consideration of his superiours, the governours of our Church. By Iohn Pocklington. Dr. D.	Pocklington, John.	1637 (1637)	STC 20075; ESTC S114776	107,710	173

humbly and piously according to the godly and holesome Canons and constitutions of their Mother the Church that so from her and her Governours and from the Kings most sacred Majesty they may to their comfort and commendation receive the commendation of modest and discreet men and such as are farre from any humour of Innovation and let this subtile Innovator with his popular devices goe by who with Iudas of Galile and boasting Theudas seekes with faigned words and deceitfull speeches to beguile simple and well meaning soules and to draw much people after him But by reading of the holy Scriptures which now GOD be praised for it almost every one with Timothy knowes of a childe they understand what befell such seducers and their followers and therefore they have no list either in piety or reason to follow them for they as many as obeyed them were dispersed and brought to nought To conclude I desire to make any sober man and indued with common reason my judge whether he would thinke that the Lords Archbishops and Bishops and the whole Convocation house men of singular wisedome piety and learning as their yeares breeding and education gives them should bee at so much trouble and charge to sit so long together to consider of the state of the Church and to consult with the Kings Majesty about the same as by the words in his Majesties Writ may appeare and then to devise and frame Canons and lawes usefull and necessary for the good pious and peaceable Government thereof and that the Kings Majesty also according to his supreme power in all causes Ecclesiasticall as well as temporall should give his royall assent under the broad seale of his kingdom for confirmation of them as all Princes and Monarchs have done in the first sixe generall Councels if after all this is done all such their Lawes and Canons so made and established should be turned into Tennis Balls for Vicars Parsons and Parishioners to tosse and bandy up and down and question at their pleasure and not to have them executed nor allowed before they be maintained rationibus cogentibus I believe otherwise but that I leave to whom it concernes There is one thing more which I cannot choose but touch upon this Author for For mee thinkes that modesty and discretion which he commended in the Alderman of Grantham he hath not reserved for our commendation in himselfe For thus he twitteth the Vicar The Communion you out of the Booke of fast 1. of the King are pleased to call Second Service In my poore opinion modesty and discretion might have taught him to have forborne such petulant language Surely the man could not but know but that the booke of Fast was not compiled nor ordered to be read publikely in every Congregation without the appointment of the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury nor without his Majesties gracious directions and royall Confirmation thereof and if the Vicar having such authority for his warrant doe call the Communion the second Service me thinkes in common discretion and ordinary civility he ought not to have a Ieere cast upon him by a bettter man than this Secretary can bee for the reflection of the jest and scorne you are pleased transcends the Vicars head quite and cleane and strikes hie and aloft upon the toppes of hills and mountaines from whom hee may bee taught to learne to keepe better distance Well the Vicar is pleased having so good authority to call it the Second Service but this man is not pleased Truly I cannot but pitty the Vicar that has met with a man so hard to please When the poore man did president himselfe in his actions and setting the Lords Table Altarwise by the Kings Chappell and Quires in Cathedralls the man is not pleased hee will upon Vmbrages have it ordered otherwise if this feigned Letter deserved any credite when the Vicar performes the reverence appointed by Canon to that blessed Name of Iesus he is pleased So it bee done So and So with such limitations and hedgings and inclosures as the canon never allowed or thought on except it meant to build with one hand and pull down with another otherwise he is not pleased Now he does but conforme his speech to such language as he heares used by the chiefest and most eminent personage in all our Cathedrall Churches and by the Kings Majesty our supreme Governours in all things belonging or in any wise appertaining to matters of the Church whether they bee Rites or Ceremonies words or actions and yet he is not pleased He wil have his Vicar neither doe nor so much as speak as they doe but he will be displeased and lend him a smart jerke for so doing What trow you has put the mans mouth so out of taste that he can in no sort rellish what was done by the Archbishop that then was and what he did by his Majesties authority that now is whom God of his infinite mercy long preserve I hope he hath more learning than to conceive the Second Service to be a new thing and so to be ashamed of the name For besides the Liturgies of Saint Basil and Saint Chrysostome and others used in the Greeke Church and those that have beene used at all times in the Westerne Churches wherein he sees with his eyes both the First and Second Service distinct one from another He may also observe the use hereof in the Primitive Church if he please to consult with Saint Iustin Martyr Tertullian Origen Saint Cyprian Saint Ambrose Saint Augustine or read a Councell which hee will not deny but hee is bound to read the Nicene Councell and hee shall perceive there the first and second service distinguished one from another Hee shall finde one service wherein there was sola Oratio he shall finde a Second service wherein ●● And I looked and there was none to helpe and I wondred that there was none to vphold Esa. 63.1 But those mine enemies which would not I should raigne over
