there had hee would haue blamed their negligence in them rather then of preaching and this I say by the warrant and president of the Mariale which saith that whereas Salomon writes thus The name of the Lord is a strong Tower the righteous flye vnto it and are helped Salomon saith he knew little of the Virgin Mary for if he had he would haue said The name of our Lady is a strong Tower the righteous flye vnto it and are helped And surely with as good right may I say the Prophet knew little of the dignitie vertue and efficacie of the holy Masse for if he had hee would not haue blamed them for not preaching but for negligence in saying Masse But Salomon and Esay are both to be pardoned because of the times they liued in but as for these Heretickes that liue in these times and cannot but see the great vertue and high price that Masses are at and how beneficiall they bee to the Catholicke Romane Church and consequently how good cause the Church hath to magnifie Masses aboue Preaching they are without all excuse and their fault vnpardonable But though they be so madde to moue it and so malicious to presse it that the Pope and all his Cleargy ought rather to preach then say Masses yet hee is too wise to hearken to it nay though sometime some of his owne Catholicke children are bewitched with this poyson and are harping on this string that preaching is the greater and worthier of the two yet he hath wit enough to discouer and power to suppresse them in time therefore if any of them write so he commands it to be razed out of their bookes that hereafter it may not testifie against them and if any be so bold to preach it his holinesse takes such order with them as few dare follow their example Witnesse Frier Lobo of whom wee spake before whose iudgement was so iust and sentence so sharpe by Pope Gregories owne holy mouth for that his impious presumption in preferring a Sermon before a Masse and that also in Rome where like a foole that he was he might haue remembred that preaching hath been out of season these 500 yeares that from that day we haue not heard of any that durst attempt the like in Rome and if the like course had beene taken in Germany France and England these new heresies had neuer spred as they do For it is nothing but hearing Sermons reading the Bible that hath bred fed and still feeds and disperseth those heresies of the Lutherans and Caluinists as daily and lamentable experience lets vs see and feele For his Holinesse knowes full well that if he could but rid the world of the Bibles in the vulgar tongues and pull downe this talking trade of Preaching we should soone see these Heresies and this new Gospell of Luther and Caluin melt away and come to nothing for take away the meanes and cause and the effect will follow And full well spoke a wise Cardinall to the Pope when in a priuate consultation there was complaint of the growing and spreading of Lutheranisme Wee may thanke our selues saith he and our owne sloth and carelesnesse for this who let the Scriptures flye abroad and become so common for we ought to haue kept them vnder colour of Maiesty and to procure them greater Generation in the learned tongues and laid them vp in safe and secret Libraries so should neither they haue beene corrupted by heretickes and Iewes as they haue beene nor they haue corrupted and made so many Hereticks as they haue done A wise and worthy speech doubtlesse and well beseeming a Cardinall and a full deuout soule I warrant him was he of the Romish Mother Church And from that day forward hath the Pope beene more carefull in this poynt and hath set on worke his darlings the Iesuits who haue done him faithfull seruice in this kinde as may appear to their great honor to al them that wil loose a litle time to reade their bookes for by their bookes their Sermons and their perswasions they haue so preuailed that where euer any of them do remain or but lurk you shall not finde a Romish Catholicke but he can learnedly prate against the Scriptures whereof he heartily thanks his God he neuer read one booke and can tell you what a dangerous booke it is and how many haue beene made Heretickes by it and by this meanes their Disciples bogle at it and auoyd it as snare or a pit in the way or a rocke in the sea Now if this bee true that the Scripture is so dangerous a booke and that preaching must be out of that booke who sees not that therefore in good Popish reason and Pope-holy religion it followeth that it beseemes all men to be wary tender and dainty euen how they make or heare too many Sermons For if the Scripture be a dangerous booke surely preaching cannot but be a dangerous exercise in which regard appeares the wisedome of the holy Romish Church who hath ordained there shall be Sermons daily in the Lent in most great Cities and so by making them proper to Lent she makes them seeme to be out of season all the yeare besides and in most places neuer expected neuer thought of till Lent come againe wheras contrariwise the holy and blessed Masse is alwayes in season and by the strict order of the holy Roman Church is daily to be said without omission nay some dayes two or three and euery day the more the better So then sermons are but the Lent prouision but Masses are the daily bread of the holy Roman Catholikes And howsoeuer the holy fathers the Popes and his Cardinals doe not trouble their heads nor disturbe the peoples mindes with much preaching yet they make them a bountifull amends with the multitude of Masses wherein all good Catholikes know they doe but as if a housholder kept away course bread and gaue his people store of fine Manchets for it for what bee sermons but as course bread but the Masses these bee the fine Manchers they be the dainty feeding for the refined stomackes of all Romish Catholikes Therefore let these bawling heretickes know that because the Popes Holinesse sawe the olde Church in former times surfetted of Sermons and that euery hereticke brought Scripture presently for his heresie therefore in these latter more prudent times they haue made a blessed exchange and for poore homely vestments wodden Chalices and a golden Cleargy haue giuen the people goodly rich Copes and golden Chalices good store to make amends for their leaden Bishops and wodden Priests which we cannot deny but are plentifull in many Catholique countries For the Scripture in the vulgar tongues which thereby was made too common and exposed to contempt haue giuen them the Latine Gospell in the Masse which is read so solemnly so stately and with such glorious ceremonies that all the people stand stricken with admiration and amazement and are oftentimes edified as much by
of Hereticall bookes and rid it of hereticall Kings to restore learning and preserue the truth which without them had perished to make plaine and perfect the Scriptures which till their time lay neglected to compose all controuersies reade all riddles know all secrets heare all confessions and to discouer no more then makes for their purpose censure all questions satisfie all consciences resolue all doubts and in a word to be the very Oracles of the Christian world as holy as true and as infallible as euer was that of Delphos or Iupiter Hamon I say let vs hearken how those reuerend Iesuits and for them all how renoumed Azor one of their most glorious Fathers and founders of that blessed company handles this question It 's moued saith hee and made a question if on one day a Masse and a Sermon doe so concurre as both cannot bee heard whether is to be omitted with lesse losse and sinne The fore-named Doctors and many other more Dunses as they be doe teach that the Masse must yeeld to the Sermon And the good Iesuit ingenuously confesseth which hee doth not for that hee holds Iesuits tied to speake truth who can speake nothing but truth and whatsoeuer they speake is therefore truth because they speake it but because the more and greater his Aduersaries be the more glorious is the victory Therefore he freely confesseth that many of the Popish Doctors be of the same opinion and that they ground this their opinion upon the Decrees and vpon S. Bernard and S. Augustine But what are all these to such sincere learned and iuditious men as the Iesuits euen nothing at all when once the truth comes in question for then downe goe Doctors Fathers Councels Scriptures and all to make roome for the holy Catholique Romish Truth out of the Iesuites holy mouthes In which Catholique zeale the noble Iesuit thus resolues the question But whatsoeuer saith he these or any of these or all these or any other doe thinke It is to bee said Marke yee dull Heretiques with what maiesty a Iesuit concludes against Canon-law Schoole-men and Fathers and tremble when you see what potent aduersaries you haue of them It is saith he to be held without controll That the Masse which is to be heard by the Churches commandement is to be preferred before the hearing of the holy word of God And marke his reason whereby hee proues it for though it bee no reason to expect a reason from so great so graue so godly men as the Fathers of the Society who by their nature and constitution will not thinke speake nor doe any thing without a reason yet is his Father-hood here pleased to giue vs a reason but marke it I say againe for it 's as good as honest and as religious a reason and as well-beseeming a Iesuit as the opinion it selfe The Masse saith he is to be preferred before the Sermon and the Sermon is to be omitted for the Masse for that saith he there is great difference betwixt that that is due by Commandement and that that 's due by Counsell for that that 's due by Commandement may not bee omitted nor can be vnder paine of mortall sinne But it is no sinne to omit that that 's due onely by Counsell Now the Masse is commanded Preaching is but counselled to heare a Masse a man is tied by vertue of the commandement to heare a Sermon he is but counselled or aduised therefore it 's apparant that a man is bound to preferre the Masse before a Sermon and to omit or loose a Sermon for a Masse And thus so learnedly so holily so irrefragably is this question resolued that none but professed foes to the holy Romish Church and open enemies to the Masse and aduancers of that dangerous booke called the Scriptures and who therefore are iustly condemned for Heretickes can or will or dare gainesay it And as for those that durst hold the contrary though they were none of them of these vp-start Heretickes yet it 's not fit that they passe without reproofe and iust censure for this their so grosse ignorance or so foule impiety as to perfer a Sermon before a Masse and therefore saith the Iesuite religiously and learnedly like himselfe If this be so It will bee here demanded whether Angelus and the rest that hold this Detestable Error that a Sermon is to bee heard rather then a Masse bee to bee condemned as holders of a Timerariouse opinion Some saith he absolutely condemne it and them so to be Others hold it to bee a false Opinion but not Temerariouse And thus they excuse them and they glosse it ouer with some shewes and shadows of argument as if it were a hard case for the Church to tye a man for the gazing of a masse to loose so great a matter as a Sermon But this is idle saith the Iesuite and therfore for you shall alwaies see Iesuites take the better part seeing they haue no good reason for their opinion in my iudgement the opinion is to be holden Temerariouse and they to bee condemned to haue spoken Temerariously that is rashly vnaduisedly and without iudgement So then these Heretickes might see if they were not blind that in the holy Romane Church it is so firmely holden that a Sermon is not so good so holy so necessary as a Masse That whoeuer holds the contrary be it Caluinist or Schooleman Father or Councell they are subiect to censure and punishment for it And euen Bernard and Augustine may be glad they had so good hap to bee made Saints by that Romane Church for otherwise for this their impious conceit to preferre a Sermon before a Masse they had beene sure and that very worthily to be condemned for Heretickes But seeing the Church that cannot erre hath vouchsafed to Canonize them for Saints she will therefore deale more mercifully with them then their impiety deserues and at the humble mediation of the charitable Iesuites will onely pronounce them temerariouse but not condemne them for Heretickes If this then bee cleere that by the resolued Doctrine and Definition of the Romane Church A Masse is the principall part if not the whole worship of God and that onely the Masse is strictly commanded and hearing of Gods word preached is but conditionally aduised And that therefore a Masse is farre more excellent in it selfe more auaileable with God more profitable and comfortable to the soule then is the hearing of sermons then who sees not but if the Popes holinesse praies but seldome or not at all Yet doe often and continually say Masse that then he hath stopped the mouthes of all heretickes that like curres doe bawle and barke against him and call him and his great Bishops Dumbe Dogges that cannot barke O silly fooles these Heretickes that bring these words of the Prophet against his Holinesse For doe they not know that when the Prophet complained of those dumbe dogges that could not barke there were then no Masses in the world for if
day of the month of Nouember and there is there vpon that day remission of all sins which was obtained at the supplication of Constantine the Emperor For saith hee after that Constantine the Emperor was healed of his leprosie by receiuing holy Baptisme he said to S. Siluester the Pope holy Father I haue ordained or consecrated my owne house to bee a Church thou therfore infuse and powre vpon this Church thy plentifull blessings for all that shall repaire and come vnto it Hereunto S. Siluester answering said our Lord Iesus Christ who of his own mercy hath healed thee cleansed thee from thy leprosie cleanse purifie from all their sins all that come to this place without mortall sinne 10 This is most vndoubtedly true that whosoeuer comes to that Church without mortall sin shall obtaine all these Indulgences and the very Caluinists and Lutherans will not for shame deny this But if they be so curious as to reply and say that none can come without mortall sin and therefore by this grant none at all shal get any good let them goe like busie heretickes as they are for being Heretickes they are not worthy to be censured but by fire and fagot at what time of the yeare so euer they come to it And we by the authority of S. Peter and S. Paul and our owne do remit pardon them and do grant vnto them remission of all their sinnes Likewise S. Gregory who also consecrated this said Church after it was repaired hauing been defaced by Heretickes confirmed all the aforesaid Indulgences formerly founded by S. Siluester Moreouer Boniface the Pope once said The Indulgences that are to bee had in the Church of Laterane no man can number 11 Here againe the heretickes will laugh say that it is most true they that are not at all cannot bee numbred as no man can number or count the gold in a beggars purse because there is none But these shew themselues bold heretickes indeede that dare suppose holy Pope Boniface especially the 8. would aequiuocate yet I confirme them euery one CHAP. 2.

Of the Reliques in the said Church of Laterane IN this Church of the Laterane there is a certaine Chappell which is called the Sacrist or the Vestry in it there is S. Iohns Altar 12 Here the Heretickes may see how ancient Altars be for as sure as this is true Altars bee as old as since S. Iohn Baptist Now whether this be that very Altar or no whether those vnder-named be not the very Table that Christ supped at and Moses his rod the right Arke of the couenant Heretickes will make question but good Catholicks will as firmely beleeue it and more then they will that the booke of the Reuelation is Canonical Scripture euen that very Altar which he had in the Wildernesse And there is also that very Table vpon which Christ supped with his
in the Church of Saint Paul IN the Church of Saint Paul the halfe part of the bodies of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul which Saint Siluester equally deuided by weight as we heard before vpon a certaine altar which is in the Church of Saint Peter in the yeare from the natiuitie of our Lord three hundred and nineteene and the other halfe was left at the second Church of Saint Peter There is also in this Church of Saint Paul the head of the first Martir Saint Steeuen 6 What if any other place say that they haue Saint Steuens his head No great matter for that the Church of Rome hath power to multiply at her pleasure and to doe many fine trickes besides to the great edification of deuout Catholickes And there is also one of the armes of Saint Anne the mother of Marie the Virgin There is also a Cloyster of Munkes scituated without the wales which hath a Church consecrated to the honor of Saint Eustachius this Cloister is commonly called the Cloister by the three fountaines And there is also in the same Church the piller vpon which Saint Paul was beheaded 7 A very pretious relicke doubtlesse for they that loued Saint Paul cannot but make much of the blocke wh●reon hee was beheaded The Lutherans and Caluinists seely fooles doe make much of Saint Pauls Epistles as being a better Relicke of him let the poore asses alone with their Epistles and them with his Epistles The holy Roman Church where wisdome dwels knowes that it had beene better for her if some of them had neuer beene written and therefore lets them lie in Libraries and commends to her children this holy relicke of the blocke on which his head was striken off for this shee is sure will teach nor breed no heresie as Saint Pauls Epistles haue done too many Indulgences belonging to the foresaid Cloister of the Church of Saint Paul IT is written of the foresaid Church that Pope Vrbane gaue and granted to all men penitent and truly contrite and confessed that shall repaire to the said Church in the vigills of blessed Marie the Virgin the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and of the Apostles and Euangelists and of Saint Marie Magdalen and of Saint Katherine and of Saint Agatha and Saint Agnes and Saint Lucie Saint Margaret and of the holie Martir Saint Laurence Saint Vincent and Saint Anastasius And also in the Octaues of the said feasts or vpon any Sunday through the whole yeare or in the dedication for euery day of the foresaid solemnities three thousand yeares of pardon And as many were giuen by Pope Siluester and as many by Pope Nicholas Also Gregorie the Pope granted as many to all and singular Pilgrims that shall come to the said Church at any time of the yeare or that for the 8 Here a penitent hath 9000 yeares of pardon for once visiting the Church is not here a roiall recompence for so litlit labour Oh thrice blessed Romans that liue so neere reuerence of Paul the Apostle shall come to the Cloister of the salt waters otherwise called the three fountaines either to pray there or as a pilgrim to visite it or for any other deuotion All men so doing shall haue released or forgiuen their sins forgotten the vowes broken their offences against father or mother vnlesse they did lay violent hands vpon them Furthermore vnto the same Church there doe belong of old 9 See how anticent the giuing of Indulgences is for these be giuen of old saith this blessed booke a thousand and fortie yeares of pardon Moreouer it is written and recorded in that Church of Saint Marie at the salt waters aforesaid That vpon the day of the consecration of the said Church there is true 10 Yea certainely as true remission is there of all sinnes as the bread in the Priests hands is the true transubstantiat body of Christ or as the maffe is a true expiatory sacrifice or as the Pope is the true Vikar of Christ But whereas the Caluinists loudly laugh and say that if in other places where it is said there is remission there bee not true remission then the people are deluded and if there bee then this word here is an idle boast No matter what they prace they be heretickes remission of all sins and that is vpon the nine and twentie of the month of Ianuarie Likewise there is a certaine Chappell of the said Church which is called the Ladder of Heauen as it is written in the Chronickles of the Citie of Rome where wee also finde that the said holie Chappell was builded in the honour of blessed Marie the Virgin vnder the High Altar of this Chappell there rest the bodies of tenne thousand holy Martires that were souldiers in the time of Tyberius the Emperor 11 Behold another wonder 10000. souldiers that were Christians in one army in the time of Tiberius immediatly after Christ The Scripture tells vs of no such wonders for there the beleeuers are reckoned in fewer quantities but the Catholicke traditions of the Roman Church supply the defects and wants that be in the Scriptures and the Catholicke cause were in a faire case indeed if nothing might bee beleeued but that is in the scripture or gathered from it as these foolish Heretikes would haue it And what Priest soeuer shall deuoutly celebrate one masse at the said altar for the liuing and the dead with a pure conscience and a contrite heart shall haue remission of all his sinnes both from the punishment the fault and shall deliuer one soule out of purgatorie 12 See what a happy thing it is for a man to liue in Rome for its impossible he should euer come in purgatory if hee list to auoide it for how easie is it to get a Priest say Masse at this altar for him But all the difficulty will bee say the Caluinists in getting a Priest with a pure Conscience for such it is said are not common in Rome Oh idle Heretikes as who say in the holy City and so neere his Holinesse can be suffered any but holy Priests for though they goe at noone day to the Stewes can they not goe afore night to confesse it and so bee made as pure as they were the day they were baptized Certainely if Cardinall Poole and his fellow committees had remembred regarded this they would not in their report they made to Paul the third of the abuses in the Church haue held it so foule a matter that Priests of Rome and Cardinals Chaplaines doe at noone day goe to Whores for as for Cardinals themselues they goe modestly in the night time vnlesse it be in the Carniuall Seeing that a wife being forbidden them as a most vnholy and vnlawfull thing therefore they vse this but as a conuenient remedy to keepe them from that foule sinne of marriage which by the Catholicke teachers Iesuits and others is concluded to bee in them a farre greater sinne
then whoring or Adultery Alasse then who can blame them or rather doth not commend the holy Clergy of Rome if of the two euills they chuse the lesse to auoide the great and if any little fault remaine after that fact how easily may they goe to confession or as soone as they haue done all being Priests may one absolue another and so come out of the Stewes as holy and pure as they went in where as all good Catholikes know that these heretike Priests that haue their owne wiues though they neuer toucht other woman are neuer pure but euer defiled with that pollution that followes them in that damned estate of mariage as whatsoeuer the heretikes prate out of the Scriptures the holy Roman Church hath truely and holily determined Seeing therefore the Clergy in Rome are not wrapt in the sacrilegious bonds of marriage and so not tied to one And for all other scapes haue the holy and happy and present helpe of confession euer at hand and alwaies in season let no good Catholicke doubt but as all that haue trauelled thither doe well know holy Clergy men and Priests with pure Consciences are as common in Rome as post-horses in Venice And this Indulgence thus granted was confirmed by sixe and fortie Popes whose bodies doe all rest in the Church-yard 13 If 46. Popes lie buried in one Church-yard It seemes those daies were not so deuout as these of ours nor the Popes so pompous nor so rich for now it is not agreeable to Catholicke deuotion Nor to the Maiesty of his holinesse to be buried in a Churchyard but in as stately and pompous manner as any of the greatest kings of the earth of Saint Sebastian and namely by Pope Ieruatius Pelagius Vrbanus Siluester Benedict Honorius Leo Clement Innocent c. Who all and euery one of them haue confirmed the foresaid Indulgence for the increase of deuotion Furthermore it is found registred in the same most holy Monasterie that whosoeuer shall drinke the water of these three fountaines where Saint Paul was beheaded shall from thenceforth be deliuer frō whatsoeuer disease he hath 14 The Heretikes will here obiect and aske how it then comes to passe that any in Rome or neere it bee sicke or die of such filthy diseases as they doe for either they may here drinke and bee healed or else this here praemised is but a cosenage and delusion But heretikes are not worthy to be answered let thē go And whosoeuer shall drinke of these three fountaines as afore shall haue from euery fountaine a thousand yeares 15 Here is a sweet a gracious indulgēce when for drinking 3 draughts of 3 sweete fountaines in a hot Sommers day in a hot country a man may gaine 3000 yeares of pardon Is it not pity but so good a mother as the holy Roman Church should haue deuout children of pardon and all this because that when Saint Paul was there beheaded his head being smitten off leaped three times and at euery leape when it fell to the ground forthwith there sprung vp a fountaine of water 16 The Heretikes cauill and say that this is a fable of the three fountaines and that there is no good history for it and say further that he made and digged foureteene better fountaines and left them not for Rome alone but for all Christians and say that whosoeuer drink of these fountaines shall receiue true Indulgence indeed and haue the diseases of his soule healed but they babble and shew themselues true heretikes who alwaies come with Scripture Scripture But contrariwise al good Catholickes know that the holy Roman Church in these later and wiser daies found these fountaines so dangerous to drinke of that prudently she stopt and wald them vp within the wall of the Latine tongue And the wiser sort of Catholickes doe know and some of them are bold and zealous to affirme it had beene better for the Catholicke faith if they had beene better and safer stopt vp then they haue beene But as for these three blessed fountaines that sprange when Saint Pauls head leapt three times after it was smitten off which is as certaine as that Saint Denise tooke vp his head when is was striken off and carried it in his hands three miles as the Breuiary saith in his seruice these the Pope is sure will not infect the drinkers with heresie as those Epistles of Paul haue often done And therefore these fountaines his holinesse stops not vp but lets them be alwaies open that good Catholickes may resort vnto them at all times of the yeare and from all parts of the world to the great honour of Saint Paul at least to the great gaine of his holinesse and of the Roman Citizens who could not well maintaine their City without these good helps and consequently to the great aduancement of the holy Catholicke Roman faith Moreouer in the Chappell there is saphire stone which whē it is laid to the side of a sick-man that hath an Apostem presently the sicke partie shal be healed with onely touching Also in the same Chappell there doe rest the bodies of many holy Martires and Confessors And there is also the sword with which Saint Paul was beheaded and it standeth there in a wall 17 Behold a most pretious relicke the sword that cut off Saint Pauls head And hath not the Popes holinesse good cause to preserue and honour the sword that cut off his head who durst rebuke Saint Peter whose successor he is The Caluinists bragge of a better sword which they say Saint Paul left them Ephes 6. 1. The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God but let them like foolish Cockes take the barley come and leaue vs the Iewell for all good Catholickes know that the sword of the Scripture howeuer Paul commended it in those times is found in these daies to bee a dangerous sword to be vsed and the holy Roman Church had neuer seene so many of her children fall to be Cauinists and Lutherans had it not been that the vse of this sword was too easily and freely premitted vnto them As for this sword that cut off Saint Pauls head that neuer did hurt to the Catholicke Roman Church but hath gained it many a faire million of crownes euen the very shewing of it to people and pilgrimes seeing then the Popes holinesse gaines so well by this sword and hath lost so much by the sword of the Spirit full wisely therefore he prohibits the vse of that sword but allowes the other to bee seene of all men and if Saint Paul bee angry that wee make more account of the sword that cut of his head then that sword of the spirit which vpon his knowledge he commended so earnestly to the Church let him know his holinesse cares not a pin for though he was so bold to reprehend Peter when they were on earth Yet now his holinesse being Peters successor hath made and enacted it for a law

Atheisme and intimates that the world shall neuer haue end Oh shamelesse heretikes that dare call in question the sayings or doings of the Pope as though his holinesse can either speake ought but truth or doe ought but good So there haue beene some heretofore like to these Caluinists that durst be so bold with the Popes as to bring them vnder censure accusing Liberius for an Arrian condemning Honorius for a Monothelite and them and Iohn the 22 for heretikes as did the sixth generall Councell and Occham and many more but what got they some of them are condemned and all of them reproued for their labour by the Popes holinesse as be also the Caluinists who were pronounced heretikes in the Councell of Trent and excommunicate euery passion weeke in Bulla Caenae and therefore no matter what they obiect Church of Saint Sebastian that an Angell of the Lord appeared in that Church to Saint Gregory as he was a saying Masse at the Altar of Saint Sebastian the Martir and said to him these words In this place there is true remission of all sinnes brightnesse and light euer lasting ioy and gladnesse without end This Indulgence did Saint Sebastian merit to the Church and thereupon that glorious Pope did grant and ratifie it Also vpon euery first Sunday or Lords day of the Month of May there is in the same Church remission of all sinnes Likewise from the ascension of our Lord vntill the Kalends of August there be for euery day in that Church a thousand yeares of pardon and as many quarantens and remission of the third part of all a mans sinnes And moreouer all the yeare long there is daily and for euery day seauen and forty yeares of pardon and as many quarantens Furthermore in the Church there is a certaine Vault or hollow passage vnder the earth and it is called the Church-yard of Saint Calixtus the Pope In this the holy Martires of God in times past vsed to hide themselues when they were persecuted by the Romans to this Vault there doe belong so many Indulgences and pardons as none can number but onely God 2 Seeing there belongs to that vault so many Indulgences it seemes that our holy fathers the Abbots of England held vaults to be very holy places and therefore it was doubtlesse that they made at so many Abbaies vaults vnder the ground leading from the Abbay to the Nunnery which was neuer very far off that so the Nuns might meete the Friers get their part of these blessed Indulgences Many of these holy vaults are yet to bee seene in England to the shame and confutation of the Caluinists And though those vaults haue beene deerely loued of the Romish Clergy and so are still where they yet be and are therefore partakers of the Popes Indulgences which made the Nunnes frequent them so willingly yet was there one vault in England which was of greater value and expectation then all these and which if the pouder there laid by those deuout and zealous Catholickes had blowne vp the heretikes according to the minde and desire of them that laid it and the hope of his holinesse and the Iesuites should certainely haue had as many blessings and Indulgences bestowed on it as the bottomlesse treasure of the holy Roman Church could haue affoorded But that worke was too good to prosper as some of themselues said the day before they died Also in the same Church there is the pit or hole wherein the bodies of Saint Peter and Paul laie hid for an hundreth yeares before they were found and at this hole there are three hundreth yeares of pardon Likewise in the same Church there is yet a pit or hole scituate a little without the Church and therein doe rest the bodies of seauen and fortie Popes euery one whereof graunted to this Church Indulgences as great and ample as they could or might To conclude there is in this Church as great and large Indulgence as there is in the Church of Peter the Apostle Relikes in the Church of Saint Sebastian IN the high altar of this Church there is the body of Saint Sebastian himselfe and in another lower altar the body of Saint Fabian and vnder the altar that is at the end of the Church resteth the body of Pope Stephen Also in the backside of the same Church there is another passage which is round hard by the altar vnder which Saint Peter and Saint Paul lay for a hundreth yeares and in the same place to this day there lie the bodies of many holy Confessors Virgins Also in the same Church there is the post or piller at which Saint Sebastian was thrust through with darts There is also the head of Calixtus and many bodies of other Saints Moreouer in the Church-yard of Saint Calixtus so called as afore which is in the same Church there stands a certaine altar and that is the very altar whereat Saint Peter vsed to say Masse 3 The Caluinists say this is an idle tale for say they if Peter had had an altar or said Masse the Scriptures would not haue concealed it But a figge or rather a fagot for these heretikes and their Scripture also for what care Catholikes though it be not it the Scripture as long as the holy Roman Church saith it here and elsewhere at such times as the Romans persecuted those holy Martires that vsed to flie thither and are now there buried Likewise in same Church-yard of Calixtus there is a certaine great stone vpon which is drawne out the length of one of the nailes with which Iesus was nailed to the tree of the crosse 4 This was doubtlesse a great naile for out of one of them haue beene fince made at least a thousand more nailes and which is more strange the first is stil as great as it was Further in the same Church there be yet to be seene the steepes of eleuen foote and they bee vpon an altar that is in a Chappel scituate on one side of the Church what these steppes are how they
came there we are to know that when Saint Peter would haue fled out of Rome Iesus met him at a little Chappel 5 Here againe the Caluinists cauill and say that this is surely a cozn'd tale For Saint Peter say they spake it Acts 3. 21. that the heauens must hold Christ till the end of the world and therefore say they though it might well bee that Saint Peter might see Christ in a vision sitting in heauen as Saint Stephen did Act. 7. 55. yet it s not credible that he saw Christ so really standing by him that the steppes of his feete should remaine in the earth but wee haue a short answere for them and that is this let them and such fooles as they rely vpon that vncertaine rule the Scripture which therefore our Catholicke Doctors Eccius Pighius Hosius c. haue iustly called a nose of waxe and a shipmans hose a dumbe Iudge and a leaden rule we Catholickes will hold the sure certaine and vnfallible rule that can neuer deceiue vs namely the determination of the holy Roman Church that is the rocke that Catholickes rest vpon and therefore though the Scripture say neuer a word of it yet by vertue of that determination wee beleeue that Christ is really and corporally in the Sacrament and that the bread is turned into his body and wee beleeue that this story is true and what euer else the Roman Church shall teach vs. somewhat out of the City then Peter meeting Christ asked him Lord whether goest thou And Iesus answered I goe to Rome to be crucified againe and these steppes of Iesus and Peter as they stood talking there are here to be seene to this day and that Chappel where they thus met is called the Chappell of our blessed Lady Mary of the palme Likewise in the Church of Saint Iohn before the Port Latine where Saint Iohn was boiled in hot scalding oile is euery Saint Iohns day deliuerance for one soule out of purgatory CHAP. 8 Indulgentiae Eccleclesiae sancti Thomae Apostoli IN Ecclesia eius scribitur quotienscunque homo visitauerit illam Ecclesiam videlicet manus ponendo adiutrices ad sustentationem Pauperum liberationem Captiuorum in sancta terra incarceratorum in Ecclesia quae dedicata est in honore sancti Michaelis Archangeli sancti Thomae Apostoli conceduntur per multos pontifices tria millia annorum Indulgent xl dies vota fracta offensa patrum Matrum sine mannuum violentarum iniectione relaxantur illi vt permittitur predictam Ecclesiam visitanti Item summi tres pontifices viz.

but good Catholickes seeing they know not what to say to it they are silent and hope all is well and for the matter doe beleeue as the Church beleeues Also in the same Chappell there is the third part of that pillar at which our Lord Iesus was whipped in Pilats house And in this Chappell there is euery day to bee had remission of all a mans sinnes But into this Chappell women may not enter 6 It seemes strange that still women may not come in the the holy places where remission of all sinnes is seeing the good natured courtizans of Rome are so kinde to the Clergy of Rome that they bid them welcome whether they come by day or by night Or else belike women there need not to goe to these holy places for remission for that the Priests when they goe from them doe giue them absolution as part of their wages I say as part for seeing the poore women doe pay a rent to his holinesse weekely good reason they haue some thing else by which to raise their rents and to liue by their trade But let these goe good Catholickes doe more wonder why honest and godly Matrons may not enter into those places seeing Paul tels vs that in Christ there is no difference betwixt Male and Female But no matter what Saint Paul saith that must not trouble the conscience of a good Catholicke Hee must consider what the Church deliuers and what the Pope teacheth that must hee harken and trust vnto and not trouble his head further with Scripture matters for that is very dangerous But howsoeuer the dames of Rome maynot go in yet it is credibly hoped that if our English Catholicke Ladies would leaue this hereticall dunghill of England and come themselues to the holy City of Rome his holinesse would be so fauourable and gratious to them as to giue them leaue to enter into those most holy places for great is the loue that his holinesse beares to our nation for hee loues our men our women nay for baser things hee loues our siluer and gold and any thing that comes from thence Oh that our Catholicke Ladies would goe thither CAP. 12.
