works of the same we shall not only obtain everlasting life but also we shall deserve remission or mitigation of these present pains and afflictions in this World according to the saying of St. Paul Si nos ipsi judicaremus non judicaremur a Domino Zacharias Convertimini ad me ego convertar ad vos Esajas ●8 frange esurienti panem tuum c. tunc eris velut hortus irriguus Haec sunt inculcanda ecclesiis ut exercitentur ad bene operandum in his ipsis operibus exerceant confirment fidem petentes expectantes a Deo mitigationem praesentium calamitatum The Sacrament of the Altar FOurthly as touching the Sacrament of the Altar We will that all Bishops and Preachers shall instruct and teach our people committed by us unto their spiritual charge that they ought and must constantly believe that under the form and figure of bread and wine which we there presently do see and perceive by our outward senses is verily substantially and really contained and comprehended the very selfe-same body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ which was born of the Virgin Mary and suffered upon the cross for our Redemption and that under the same form and figure of bread and wine the very selfe-same body and blood of Christ is corporally really and in the very substance exhibited distributed and received of all them which receive the said Sacrament and that therefore the said Sacrament is to be used with all due reverence and honour and that every man ought first to prove and examine himself and religiously to try and search his own Conscience before he shall receive the same according to the saying of St. Paul Quisquis ederit panem hunc aut biberit de poculo domini indigne reus erit corporis sanguinis domini probet autem seipsum homo sic de pane illo edat de poculo illo bibat nam qui edit aut bibit ind●gne judicium sibiipsi manducat b●bit non dijudicans corpus domini Iustification FIfthly As touching the order and cause of our Justification we will that all Bishops and Preachers shall instruct and teach our people committed by us unto their spiritual charge that this word Justification signifieth remission of our sins and our acceptation or reconciliation into the grace and favour of God that is to say our perfect renovation in Christ. Item That sinners attain this Justification by Contrition and Faith joyned with Charity after such sort and manner as we before mentioned and declared not as though our Contrition or Faith or any works proceeding thereof can worthily merit or deserve to attain the said Justification for the only mercy and grace of the Father promised freely unto us for his Sons sake Jesus Christ and the merits of his blood and his passion be the only sufficient and worthy causes thereof and yet that notwithstanding to the attaining of the said Justification God requireth to be in us not only inward Contrition perfect Faith and Charity certain hope and confidence with all other spiritual graces and motions which as we said before must necessarily concur in remission of our sins that is to say our Justification but also he requireth and commandeth us that after we be justified we must also have good works of charity and obedience towards God in the observing and fulfilling outwardly of his Laws and Commandments for although acceptation to everlasting life be conjoyned with Justification yet our good works be necessarily required to the attaining of everlasting Life and we being justified be necessarily bound and it is our necessary duty to do good works according to the saying of St. Paul debitores sumus non carni ut secundum carnem vivamus nam si secundum carnem vixerimus moriemur sin autem spiritu facta corporis mortificaverimus vivemus etenim quicunque spiritu dei ducuntur hi sunt filii dei and Christ saith si vis ad vitam ingredi serva mandata and St. Paul saith de malis operibus qui talia agunt Regnum dei non possidebunt Wherefore we will that all Bishops and Preachers shall instruct and teach our people committed by us unto their spiritual charge and God necessarily requireth of us to do good works commanded by him and that not only outward and civil works but also the inward spiritual motions and graces of the Holy Ghost that is to say to dread and fear God to love God to have firm confidence and trust in God to invocate and call upon God to have patience in all adversities to hate sin and to have certain purpose and will not to sin again and such other like motions and vertues for Christ saith Nisi abundaverit justitia vestra plusquam scribarum Pharisaeorum non intrabitis in regnum caelorum that is to say we must not only do outward civil good works but also we must have these foresaid inward spiritual motions consenting and agreeable to the Law of God Of Images AS touching Images truth it is that the same have been used in the old Testament and also for the greater abuses of them sometime destroyed and put down and in the new Testament they have been also allowed as good Authors do declare wherefore we will that all Bishops and Preachers shall instruct and teach our people committed by us to their spiritual charge how they ought and may use them And First that this may be attributed unto them that they be representers of vertue and good example and that they also be by occasion the kindlers and firers of mens minds and make men often remember and lament their sins and offences especially the Images of Christ and our Lady and that therefore it is meet that they should stand in the Churches and none otherwise to be esteemed And to the intent the rude people should not from henceforth take such superstition as in time past it is thought that the same hath used to do we will that our Bishops and Preachers diligently shall teach them and according to this Doctrine reform their abuses for else there might fortune Idolatry to ensue which God forbid And as for Censing of them and kneeling and offering unto them with other like worshippings although the same hath entred by devotion and fallen to custome yet the people ought to be diligently taught that they in no ways do it nor think it meet to be done to the same Images but only to be done to God and in his honour although it be done before the Images whether it be of Christ of the Cross or of our Lady or of any other Saint besides Of Honouring of Saints AS touching the honouring of Saints we will that all Bishops and Preachers shall instruct and teach our people committed by us unto their spiritual charge that Saints now being with Christ in Heaven be to be honoured of Christian people in Earth but not with that confidence and honour which
