by a deputy shall goe to heauen by an Attourney Staphilus relates at large a Colliars faith which Colliar at the point of death and tempted of the Deuill to know his Beliefe sayd I belieue and die in the faith of Christs Church vrged againe what the faith of Christs Church was answered That faith that I belieue in Thus the Deuill receiuing no other answer was vanquished This implicite faith rather fancy is that folly which they would haue their laity to loue excluding knowledge from the nature of faith and make a naked Assent sufficient for saluation Thus these Soule-thiefes doe not onely put out the Candle of knowledge the Scripture and put it vnder a Bushell least it should descry them but would extinguish all light of grace their Creede which doth condemne them To belieue as others belieue or as the Church belieues and yet know not the beliefe of the Church a purblind faith to saue the blind They teach the people not to trouble themselues with searching into the misteries of Christian religion or points of faith but say as their Rhemists tutor them that they will liue and dye in that faith which the Catholicke Church teaches and this Church can giue a reason of the things belieued a very quicke way if it were a good way but God requires a distinct knowledge of the points of our faith to be able and ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh a reason of our hope and faith not to haue the particular knowledge of our faith locked vp in the Church-chest but in our owne breast not to send to Rome or the Pope for an answere to ground their faith on for they may be dead before their message be deliuered or an answere returned This implicite faith was in no request in Iustines time who writes that such as could no letter on the booke vnderstood all the mysteries of faith and indeede it is most necessary for all Christians to know and learne the fundamentall points of faith which in the Church of Rome by the vnlearned cannot be attained for how should any know that which is propounded to him in an vnknowne tounge how should he vnderstand his Creed that knowes not a word in English of his Credo It is expounded to them may some say Worthily I doe warrant you when as many of their Priests and some of their Popes could not be Latin expounders Their expositions like their Legends commonly-read by them in the Church to the people full of monstrous lyes as the Virgine Mary came downe from heauen to visite sicke S.

tongue in Diuine prayers Diaboli calliditatem sapit saith their Catharinus sauors of the Deuill rather this speech sauors of the Deuill And truely these Foxes in this chase haue beene so hunted out of all their blinde holes of ignorance and vnable to vphold this Babell of Barbarisme that they are at last brought to a very desperate defence to produce but two of their Champions who haue drawen out their weapons for the defence of this cause Their Iesuite Salmeron and Cardinall Bellarmine Salmeron saith Finis proprius diuinorum officiorum non est populi instructio adificatio sed potius cultus Deo debitus The proper end of Diuine duties is not the instruction and edification of the people but rather a worship due to God I will not vouchsafe an argument but say with that reuerend Deane Hoc est causae perditissimae vltimum refugium desperationis plenissimum omnis authoritatis rationis praesidijs destitutum This is the last refuge of a most wretched cause full of desperation and void of all authority and reason Bellarmine saith almost the same words vsus precum praecipuus non est aedificatio aut consolatio populi sed cultus Deo ab ecclesia debitus the chiefe vse of prayers is not the edification or consolation of the people but a worship due to God from the Church and so that God doe vnderstand the tongue no matter whether men doe or no a strange argument God knowes our wants before we pray why then should we pray at all or make our petitions to him and yet know not the tenor of our petitions Neuer did any Church teach the people to pray for that which they do not vnderstand but the Church of Rome Yet they themselues confesse it were better if the seruice were in the vulgar tongue yet will not suffer it as Bellarmine Est melius ad consolationem orantis It were better for the consolation of him that prayes melius ad instructionem vt preces intelligantur say the Rhemists better for instruction that the prayers should be vnderstood and Caietan better for the edification of the Church ad fructum deuotionis conducibilius saith Aquine more conuenient for the fruit of deuotion and so their Cardinall Contarenus saith The prayers that men vnderstand not want the fruit which they should reape if they vnderstood them Yea themselues confesse That in the time of the Primitiue Church the people in the vulgar tongue did celebrate their diuine seruice In primitiue ecclesia benedictiones caetera communia fiebant invulgari saith Lyranus in the Primitiue Church benedictions and other common duties done in the vulgar tongue nay Bellarmine goes further Longo tempore post tempore Chrysostomi ac Cypriani ac Ieronymi ea consuetudo valuit long after that in the time of Chrysostome Cyprian and Ierome this custome to celebrate sacred things in the vulgar tongue preuailed The cause which the Trent Councell alleadgeth why all diuine seruice should bee in the Latin tongue is this mos generalis ecclesiae habet vt tantum tribus linguis hebraica Graeca latina celebretur The generall custome of the Church hath beene that in these three tongues Hebrue Greeke and Latin it should bee celebrated In the Primitiue Church and long after no such custome by their owne confession and if any tongue rather the Hebrue the most ancient but the Hebrue and Greeke originals of the Scripture are by them little regarded and the vulgar Latin translation of the Scripture is by the Councell of Trent canonized charging all to vse it as the authenticall text in all their readings disputations sermons and expositions and that they doe not reiect it vpon any pretence whatsoeuer Yea the Bishop of Toledo putting forth the Bible in diuers languages printed the Latin betweene the Hebrue and Greeke saying hee had placed them as the two theeues on eyther side but the Romane or Latin put in the midst betweene them as Iesus Christ and yet I thinke neuer did the sunne see any thing more defectiue and maimed then the vulgar Latin thus by them extolled I could with my finger point at grosse corruptions therein but I may spare that labor their own tongues shall tell it Their owne Bishop Lindan saith it hath monstrous corruptions of all sorts scarce one coppy hath one booke of Scripture vndefiled many points translated improperly abusiuely with many other learned Papists who might be named complaining of seuerall additions detractions falsifications deprauations and barbarismes of the vulgar Latine now by them preferred aboue the Hebrue and Greeke coppies Well if the Lay people may haue this Latin Bible read vnto them yet vnderstand neuer a worde of it and other Church prayers they thinke this seruice is sufficient which is but a little better then vox porcorum or mugitus boum then crying of hogges or the bellowing of buls for it is the comparison of Isidorus Quid potest strepitus labiorum vbi cor est mutum oratio sine deuotione est quasi mugitus boum what is the sound of the lips the heart silent Prayer without deuotion is like the roring of oxen what deuotion or feeling is in that minde which is senselesse of the wordes of his mouth a senselesse petitioner who vnderstands not the sense of his petition If a wauering minded man shall receiue nothing of the Lord as Iames what shall a filly sot obtaine who is both inconstant and ignorant how to pray and what to pray for his Pater noster c or Credo indeum will stand him in small flead Sathan in all his shop of fraud hath not a craftier guile to erect his kingdome of iniquity then this accursed pollicy Therefore let all men who feare God and desire his fauour to heare their prayers follow S. Pauls rule Pray with the spirit and vnderstanding also 2 Implicite saith The Church of Rome which rockes her children in the cradle of ignorance tells them implicite faith is sufficient for them which is the faith of Asses as images are fit bookes for Idiots The description of implicit faith I will fetch from themselues who know best the true image of this their false Idoll Implicita fides est credere secundum quod credit Ecclesia vnde non omnis Christianus tenetur illos articulos fidei scire explicite sed tantum clerici saith their owne writer Implicite or infold faith is to belieue as the Church beleeues so that it is not necessary for euery Christian to know those Articles of faith explicitely but onely Priests a strange faith onely deuised to suppresse knowledge and to countenance ignorance so Bellarmine fides melins per ignorantiam quam per notitiam definitur Faith is better defined by ignorance then by knowledge In their Church a Lay-man may belieue by a proctor or by a Priest explicitly but he that thus belieues
