As their shauing of Priests which the ancient Idolatrous Romanes vsed after the forme of the Babylonians or of the Herculean Priests called for the same cause Stephanophores as bearing a crowne vpon their heads these were by the Heathenish Romanes tearmed Curiones from whence our Romish Priesthood haue borrowed the name of Curate Next the vestment of the Priest which Numa Pompilius ordained to be White called by the Latins Alba and with the Vestment hath continued to this day wherein the Priest celebrateth Masse But our Romanists scorning to bee beholding to their Idolatrous Predecessours will haue this Aulbe to figure the conuersation of Christ in his flesh or the purity of his body incarnate in the wombe of the Virgin Others interpret the white colour to signifie chastity and continency Others signifie by the Aulbe the White garment presented by Herod vnto Christ when he was sent backe as a foole to Pilate Aboue this the old Roman Idolators vsed an ornament for the breast of brasse or copper which is by the Church of Rome now turned into gold or siluer tearmed the Cheasuble They vsed also a vayle to couer their heads called an Amice first inuented by AEneas which also our Masse Priests vse and they will haue it to represent the vayle wherewith Christ was couered when the Iewes mocked him in the house of Caiphas Or the Diuinity of Christ hid vnder the humanity Adde vnto these the Stole the Manuple and the Zone which three saith one do represent the three cords wherwith Christ was bound and led before the High Priest Or by the Zone saith Biel were figured the rods wherewith Christ was whipped by the Stole laid a crosse the crosse that Christ carryed on his shoulders The Manuple carryed on the left arme represents the band of loue wherwith Christ was holden Another interpreteth the Zone or Girdle wherwith the Aulbe is trussed or tyed together to signifie the band of the charity of God The Stole put vpon the Amice on the necke of the Priest in forme of the crosse to figure the obedience of Iesus Christ vnto the death of the Crosse. The Manuple carryed vpon the left hand to figure the eternall felicity of Iesus Christ. Another saith the Amice figureth Faith the Stole humility of obedience and the Manuple the watchfull and hearty deuotion of the Massing Sacrificer Thus are they vncertaine among themselues of the figuratiue representations of their Sacrificall Vestments The next ceremonie was Holy-water borrowed from the ancient Idolaters of Rome and inuented by Numa who ordained that the people should bee sprinkled with sea or salt water because that salt was of a fierie nature which is apt to purifie hereby they purged and cleansed the faults of the people especially lying and periury Pope Alexander the first of that name and one of the first corrupters of the holy sacraments following the Idolatry of Pompilius commanded this coniuring and consecrating of holy water to driue away diuells But to colour this 〈◊〉 hee vseth this comparison If it be so saith Pope Alexander that the ashes of a red cow offered vp in sacrifices mingled with water of the fountaine purified the people of the Iewes by greater reason the water sprinkled with salt should purifie Christians and chase away 〈◊〉 Thus haue they continued that Idolatrous vse of Holy water still in the Church of Rome which the Heathens did vse 360. yeares after Christ as appeares by that story of Valentinian After the sprinkling of Holy-water followes the Procession which Platina ascribes to Agapetus Bishop of Rome but I find it well nigh a 1000. yeares before him practised by the ancient Idolatrous Romanes called Supplication The order of Procession instituted by Numa either to appease the wrath of their gods or to obtaine peace or the fruits of the earth was this First before the Procession went young children then the Priests clad in white Vestments singing hymnes prayses and songs vnto their gods after followed the High Bishop called by them Pontifex Maximus which title was after giuen to all the Emperours of Rome that were not Christians as appeares by their coynes and Sculptures then the ancient Senators of Rome and their wiues and children with crownes on their heads In the Procession was carryed commonly the Pagent or shrine of Iupiter or Anubis oy some of the Priests clad in white Vestments their heads beeing shauen and hauing a crowne vpon their heads This crowne was in such repute that the Emperour Antonius Commodus himselfe being the High Bishop caused his head to be shauen and to be crowned to beare the shrine of the god Anubis Before the shrine went a Torch-bearer carrying a taper light
