The Reasons why some Traditions of Reliques are forborn in the Translation and why some are published IT is to be granted that this Breidenbach Brocard Pasch Saligniac as also Tyren were Roman Catholicks and that they desired the promoting of their Religion a great part whereof is in visiting of Saints Reliques and they received from their Ancestors many Traditions which they respect and uphold as much as yea more then the Word of God it self Hence several such Passages that were in the Latin are left out by the Translator as that of Veronica's Neckerchere † Or Section 42. of the Book Numb 42 and of Pelagia's House So also this about Helen's finding the Cross by the wonderful smell or odor of the Spices and Oyntments which the Earth sent forth By which miracle that venerable Empress was confirmed say those Popish Authors in Number 240. Which argues That the Women anointed Christs Body with that precious Ointment or Odors upon the Cross For that anointing of Christs feet was six or seven days before Christs death Joh. 12.1 2. Whereas the Scriptures shew most plainly That the Women bought not those Spices for Ointments and Odors to Christs Body until Christ was taken from the Cross and buried Which Odors they brought not to the empty Cross but to the Garden where Christ was buried some way distant from the Cross and there they would have anointed him but did not because Christ was risen before they came Luke 23.53 56. 24.1 Matth. 27.57 28.1 2. Mark 16.1 2 6. Hence the Translator forbears this and divers of such vain Traditions as tend to make the Word of God of none effect Matth. 15.6 9. some of them remain that the Reader may know in what place the Relickmongers will shew such and such things which never were there as the Note added from Holy Scriptures makes evident Which Note being observed in love to the truth may tend to prevent that dreadful doom of the damnable deceivers and deceived denounced in 2 Thes 2.10 12. With all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved And for this cause God shall send them strong delusions that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness I could name one whom I knew noted for miserable covetousness when in sickness he prevailed not to be absolved by a Minister was prevailed with by a Priest that it Ieems absolved him to visit Saint Anne of Buxtons Well which he did and returned a confirmed Papist by this lying strong delusion which he poor wretch believed viz. That he was shewed and saw the very Well it self into which Saint Annes head fell being cut off by a villain that would have abused ber Her Brother hearing of it came after Mass was ended took his sisters head and put it right upon her neck and presently she revived I saw the Well it self where this was done said he This warning is premised That by being forewarned thou maist be fore-armed against the poyson of such Basilisks and maist tread such Serpents under thy feet Remembring 2 Thes 2.10 Many things are here truly recorded from Holy Scriptures and Josephus and Jerom and others cited by those men But can any good come out of Galilee or shall we receive truth from Papists Answ Truth is more precious then Silver or Gold or Rubies Can you be content to take up Silver or Gold or precious Pearls though you espie then on a Dunghil or in the Kennel Then disdain not to own Truth which is far more excellent wheresoever you can espie it Onely look up to the God of all grace who hath given us his own Son to be our Way Truth and Life that he would reveal his Son to us and in us that by him we may savingly know and love the truth as it is in Jesus and may by his light discern and abhor every false way Try all things that are held out for truths hold fast that which is good as the noble Bereans did to their souls everlasting benefit Acts 17.11 and abstain from all appearance of evil And the very God of peace sanctifie you wholly 1 Thes 5.21 22 23.
