A13025 A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion. By Thomas Stoughton minister of the word Stoughton, Thomas. 1598 (1598) STC 23316; ESTC S113794 180,055 360

man_n can_v hardly_o discern_v whether_o they_o worship_v god_n according_a to_o any_o of_o his_o own_o precept_n yea_o to_o speak_v yet_o more_o plain_a they_o make_v so_o many_o image_n cross_n relic_n of_o saint_n they_o make_v so_o many_o prayer_n to_o saint_n and_o offer_v so_o many_o gift_n unto_o they_o they_o have_v so_o many_o pilgrimage_n in_o their_o honour_n they_o repose_v so_o

only_o worship_v these_o thing_n but_o also_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n which_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v adore_v go_v into_o the_o mouth_n from_o their_o mouth_n into_o the_o stomach_n from_o the_o stomach_n into_o the_o paunch_n and_o from_o the_o paunch_n out_o again_o of_o the_o body_n all_o man_n know_v whither_o that_o this_o be_v so_o whatsoever_o the_o ignorant_a be_v persuade_v to_o the_o contrary_a be_v manifest_a because_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v drive_v to_o that_o necessity_n that_o he_o have_v no_o other_o meat_n to_o eat_v then_o their_o consecrate_a host_n as_o they_o call_v it_o as_o sometime_o david_n be_v force_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o shewbread_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o their_o host_n so_o eat_v for_o a_o week_n or_o a_o month_n together_o will_v nourish_v the_o natural_a man_n as_o well_o as_o other_o bread_n so_o as_o that_o their_o shall_v be_v as_o good_a digestion_n and_o egestion_n of_o that_o as_o also_o of_o

this_o natural_a life_n and_o the_o more_o blasphemous_o in_o say_v that_o that_o go_v into_o the_o draught_n again_o in_o such_o a_o case_n i_o demand_v also_o whether_o a_o man_n force_v to_o live_v only_o by_o such_o mean_n for_o a_o time_n or_o so_o live_v voluntary_o by_o get_v some_o way_n or_o other_o all_o the_o host_n to_o himself_o in_o a_o country_n can_v live_v by_o they_o alone_o without_o drink_n certain_o by_o their_o doctrine_n for_o the_o administer_a of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o one_o kind_n only_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o they_o say_v that_o one_o kind_n only_o be_v sufficient_a because_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v always_o with_o the_o body_n per_fw-la concomitantiam_fw-la so_o then_o by_o this_o reason_n a_o man_n that_o shall_v have_v nothing_o but_o their_o host_n for_o a_o week_n or_o month_n or_o long_a time_n to_o live_v upon_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v meat_n but_o also_o drink_v for_o they_o must_v as_o well_o grant_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o quench_v thirst_n as_o his_o flesh_n to_o satisfy_v hunger_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o let_v one_o of_o they_o try_v but_o so_o little_a a_o time_n to_o live_v in_o this_o manner_n i_o mean_v only_o feed_v upon_o nothing_o but_o upon_o bread_n consecrate_v by_o some_o papist_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o he_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o ask_v his_o

try_v this_o way_n to_o live_v but_o a_o little_a while_n he_o shall_v quick_o find_v the_o knavery_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o consequent_o also_o the_o impiety_n of_o all_o popery_n 3_o now_o to_o return_v from_o whence_o we_o have_v make_v this_o digression_n the_o papist_n do_v not_o only_o worship_v the_o cross_n relic_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n but_o such_o as_o be_v no_o relic_n of_o the_o saint_n &_o piece_n of_o wood_n in_o stead_n of_o piece_n of_o the_o cross_n whereon_o christ_n be_v nail_v for_o if_o so_o many_o church_n shall_v have_v such_o large_a thong_n of_o the_o very_a cross_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o papist_n say_v they_o have_v all_o gather_v together_o will_v load_v the_o best_a ship_n in_o england_n then_o no_o marvel_n indeed_o though_o christ_n be_v weary_a of_o bear_v his_o cross_n &_o what_o a_o giant_n be_v simon_n of_o siren_n who_o they_o compel_v to_o bear_v such_o a_o burden_n o_o say_v they_o you_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o mystery_n for_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o heavy_a as_o all_o the_o piece_n now_o lay_v together_o will_v be_v how_o so_o because_o ever_o as_o one_o piece_n be_v cut_v off_o the_o remainder_n do_v grow_v to_o the_o former_a greatness_n and_o be_v never_o a_o whit_n less_o than_o at_o the_o first_o but_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o piece_n cut_v off_o it_o still_o remain_v whole_a let_v he_o that_o listen_v believe_v this_o my_o name_n be_v thomas_n and_o i_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o till_o i_o see_v it_o therefore_o i_o shall_v never_o believe_v it_o touch_v their_o worship_n of_o relic_n he_o that_o will_v have_v sport_n let_v he_o read_v m._n caluin_n of_o that_o matter_n i_o mean_v his_o little_a book_n of_o relic_n where_o among_o other_o relic_n he_o shall_v find_v christ_n his_o foreskinne_n cut_v off_o when_o he_o be_v circumcise_v his_o shoe_n the_o earth_n that_o lie_v under_o his_o foot_n when_o he_o raise_v up_o lazarus_n from_o the_o dead_a the_o title_n set_v over_o his_o head_n at_o his_o crucify_a his_o thorny_a crown_n the_o dish_n wherein_o he_o do_v eat_v the_o paschal_n lamb_n the_o napkin_n about_o his_o head_n when_o he_o be_v bury_v yea_o the_o very_a tail_n of_o the_o ass_n whereon_o he_o ride_v and_o many_o such_o morsel_n 4_o by_o these_o thing_n hitherto_o speak_v we_o see_v how_o contrary_a popery_n be_v unto_o the_o religion_n commend_v in_o the_o scripture_n both_o in_o matter_n and_o also_o in_o form_n who_o therefore_o that_o know_v the_o constant_a immutable_a and_o spiritual_a nature_n of_o god_n can_v be_v persuade_v in_o any_o reason_n that_o popery_n shall_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n if_o out_o of_o one_o fountain_n can_v come_v both_o sweet_a and_o sour_a water_n can_v two_o religion_n so_o contrary_a come_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n if_o god_n approve_v that_o religion_n which_o be_v commend_v in_o the_o scripture_n than_o he_o must_v needs_o disallow_v of_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o or_o if_o he_o allow_v of_o that_o religion_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n than_o he_o must_v also_o disallow_v of_o the_o religion_n commend_v in_o the_o scripture_n if_o therefore_o no_o man_n dare_v think_v that_o god_n disallow_v of_o the_o religion_n commend_v in_o the_o scripture_n let_v no_o man_n dare_v to_o think_v that_o he_o allow_v popery_n so_o contrary_a thereunto_o now_o as_o touch_v our_o religion_n both_o matter_n and_o form_n agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n we_o commend_v knowledge_n we_o commend_v and_o teach_v all_o that_o the_o
