Afterwards when men began to count their Prayers as though God were in our debt for often begging of him there were devised by one Petrus Heremita a Frenchman of the City of Amiens Bedes to say Lady Psalters on the year of our Lord 1090. The same Petrus was occasion that Pope Urbane stirred the Christians to make a Voyage into Asia at which time Jerusalem was recovered The manner of turning our faces into the East when we pray is taken of the old Heathens which as Apuleius remembreth used to look Eastward and salute the Sun we take it in a custome to put us in remembrance that Christ is the Son of Righteousnesse that discloseth all secrets But that was not lawfull for the Hebrews as may seem to us by the setting of the Tabernacle and they must ever look toward the Temple as the story of Daniel declareth Moses when he had received the ten Commandements assembling the people together shewed them the will of God and that was the first Sermon or Preaching and the Prophets had without doubt open collations And afterward John Baptist in the Wildernesse of Jury Preached and so did Christ himself and gave Authority to the Apostles and Disciples by special Commandement to do the same The blessed Sacrament of the Altar was instituted by our Saviour Jesus Christ a little before his Passion in Jerusalem at his Supper when he had ended the Paschal lamb in this wise He took bread and after he had given thanks he brake it and gave it to his Disciples saying Take and eat This is my body that shall be given for you So taking the Cup he gave thanks likewise and delivered it to them Saying Drink ye all of this Cup for this is my bloud of the New Testament which is shed for the remission of sins Thus under the form of bread and Wine he gave to them particularly his body and bloud sanctified in and by the Word And gave commandement that like Sacrifice should be made in remembrance of him Alexander the Bishop of Rome did ordain that this oblation should be made of sweet bread where before it was Leavened bread And he commanded that water should be mixt with Wine in the Cup. CHAP. VIII Who Sacrificed first after Christs Tradition and increased the parts of the Masse EVerything at the first in the Ministery of the Lords Supper was plain sincere and without any mixture of Ceremonies containing more vertue then Solemnity For it is manifest that Peter which either first of all or else with the rest of the Apostles did consecrate often times after the Rite that he had received of Christ and by and by after the Consecration joyned to the Lords Prayer or Pater Noster And I suppose it was not much differing from the Masse that is used in the Church on Good Friday Coelestinus ordained the prayers that the Priest saith when he revesteth himself to Masse or at putting on his cloaths that beginneth Judica me Deus c. Albeit it seemeth by the words of Chrysostome in the 11th Homily on Matthew that it was taken of the Churches of Greece and Asia which used to sing Psalms while the people assembled together Damasus instituted the confession at the beginning of Masse and some refer it to Pontianus Kyrie eleeson was frequented in Greece first and Gregorius caused it to be said nine times in the Latine Church Gloria in excelsis is ascribed of some to Telesphorus of some to Hilarius of some to Symmachus and the Councel of Toletane thinketh that the Doctors of the Church made it Collect Gelasius and Gregory gather'd And the Grail was appointed by them also Alleluya was translated from Jerusalem to the Latine Church in the time of Damasus The Tract Durandus saith was devised by Telesphorus and Sequences were invented first by one Nothgerus an Abbot The Epistles and Gospel were as Hierom writeth used in the East Churches of very ancient time wherefore I suppose we had the manner to read the Epistle and Gospell of those Churches Yet some say Telesphorus ordained them and some suppose that Jerome at the request of Damasus did devide them as we read them now at this day Anastasius commanded that we should stand at the Gospel in token that men should be in a readiness to defend the doctrine of the Gospel The first part of the Creed Marcus ordained to be read after it was made by the Councel of Nicene and the second part Et Spiritum sanctum that the Counsel of Constantinople composed Damasus caused to be read in the Church Eutichianus instituted the Offertory to be sung whilst the people offered such things as went to the relief and comfort of the poor The Offertory remaineth but the poor are forgotten as though they had no part in Christ and were vile abjects of the World Gelasius made the Prefaces howbeit in the beginning they used but one Preface And Secius added the Sanctus out of the Prophet Esay Washing of hands began either of the old Testament where they did nothing with unwashed hands or else of the Gentiles which before their Sacrifices used to wash their hands as Hesiodus witnesseth Burning of Incense that was occupied in the old Testament by Aaron and of the Panims in their superstitious Rites Leo the third ordained to be had in the Latine Church The Privity of the Masse called the Canon was made by divers persons as Gelasius made Te igitur S●titius added Communicantes and Alexander the first that was long before them made Qui pridie and that was the beginning of the Canon before that time For Alexander was 340 years and more before Gelasius Hanc igitur Leo joyned and Gregory annexed three petitions in the same Dies que nostros and so forth Innocencius the first instituted that Priests in the upper part of the Church called the Chancel or Quire should kisse one another and that Pax should be born to the people Blessing with hands and Chalices came out of the Hebrews Ceremonies For Aaron after he had sacrificed blessed the people And Christ at his Ascention blessed his Disciples Sergius ordain●d the Agnus dei seven hundred years after Christ to be sung of the Clergy at the time of the Communion The often turning of the Priest to the Altar when he saith Dominus Vobiscum or Orates fraires came of the Hebrews rites where in sacrifice time the Priest turneth him to cast the bloud of the Sacrifice on the people and the Heathens used the same fashion in their superstitions and therefore doubtlesse we had those Ceremonies of them CHAP. IX Why we say Ite missa est Whereof the word Masse and ceremony came The first manner of taking the Sacrament WHen Masse is ended the Deacon turning to the people saith Ite missa est which words are borrowed of the rites of the Pagans and signifieth that then the company may be dismissed It was used in the sacrifices of Isis

manners and rules of living confirmed with three vows that is chastity willfull poverty and obedience because they should all together mortify their own will and lusts These three forenamed Vows Basilius Bishop of Caesaria did first institute and publish in the year of our Lord 383. And also assign the year of probation or Trial that Religious persons had before they were professed The Order of Cluniacenses were ordained by one Odon an Abbot at Masticense a Village of Burgundy And William Duke of Aquitane gave them an House the year of our Lord 916. in the time of Sergius the third Not long after the Religion of Camaldimenses was begun by Romoaldus of Ravenna in the Mount Apenninus the year of our Lord 850. They kept perpetual silence every Wednesday and Friday they Fast they eat bread and water they go barefoot and lye on the ground In a part of the same Mountain called Vallis Umbrosa or the shadowed Valley in the year of Christs incarnation 1040. under Gregory the sixth John Gualbert began a new sect of Monks and named them of the place where the Abbey stood the Shadowed-Valley Order The Monks of Olivet sprung up as a fruit of disorder the same year that the variance was among the three Bishops and were instituted by Barnardus Ptolomous the year of Christ 1407. under Gregory the 12th The Faction of Grandimoniensers began by Steven of Avern in Aquitane or Guyen the year of our Lord 1076 under Alexander the second and had their Title of the Mountain where their Abbey stood A little after the same time Robert Abbot of Molisme in Cistersium a Forrest in Burgundy did institute the order of Cistercians albeit some ascribe this to one Ordingus a Monk that perswaded Robert to the same about the year of our Lord 1098. under Urbane the second Of this Religion was that great Clerk St. Bernard Almost an hundred years after this in the year of our Lord 1166. The order of Humiliates was devised by certain persons exiled by Fredericus Barbarussa which when they were restored to their Countrey apparelled themselves in white and lived by a kind of Vow in Prayers Penury and working wool and were admitted by Innocentius the third and other his successours Celestines were founded by Celestinus the fifth of that name Bishop of Rome in the year of our Lord 1198. In England Saint Gilbert at Tirington and Sempringham began an order called after him Gilbertines in the time of Engenius the fourth the year of Christs Incarnation 1148. The Justinians were invented by Lewis Barbus a Re●igious man of Venice in the Abbey of Saint Justine at Padua the year of our Salvation 1412 in the dayes of John the 24th There were also Orders of Nuns devised after the same Rules of Superstition as the other be CHAP. III. Of the Hieronymians Canons Charterhouse-Monks White-Fryers Crouch-Friers with others HIeronymians had their beginning of Saint Hierome which leaving his Native Country went into Jewry and there not far from Bethlehem builded him an house where he lived very devoutely the latter end of his life in the time of Innocentius the seventh the year of our Lord 1405. After his example other counterfeited a resemblance of perfection naming themselves Hieronymians wearing their clothes of white and a cope plaited above over their Coat girt with a lether girdle There were also certain Hermites called Hieronymians of the Foundation of one Charls Granel of Florence which made himself an Hermite of the same Religion in the Mountains of Fessulus Others there be that say one Redo Earl of Mount Granel did institute them in Fessulus in the time of Gregory the twelfth Yet there be some that say that the original of this brother-hood was instituted of Hierome in a Desart and that Eusebius of Cremona with other devout and holy men which kept conversation with him did enlarge and augment the family of that professión As concerning the Channons Reguler there be two opinions for some say that Augustine by and by after he was created Bishop brought his Channons in this rule and form of living wherein they have been so long trained and nusled up other some brag and make their vaunt that it was devised of the Apostles and of this opinion was Thomas Aquinas But Augustine was doubtlesse either the inventour of the Sect or renewer of it and therefore may be justly taken for an Author of that Faction and so was he likewise of Augustine Hermites The Channons cloathing was a white Coat and a linnen rochet under a black cope with a Scapular to cover their head and shoulders The Hermites have a contrary vesture a black coat with a scapular and another coat of white and a Lether Girdle Of these there were divers other orders As the order of St. Saviour of the Scopettines which were ordained by Steven and James two men of Scenes in the time of Urbane the fifth the year of Christ 1370. And Gregory the 11th by his consent confirmed them in their Hypocrisy The Frisonaries is another Order which began among the Hetrurians in the County of Luces that be otherwise called Lateranenses by the device of James Brixian in the time of John the 24th the year of Christ 1412 and they were amplified and increased by Eugenius the 4th The third Order is titled the brethren of St Gregory de Alga This was ordained at Venice by Laurence Justinian in the time of Innocentius the seventh in the year of our Lord 1407. with divers other Orders which forasmuch as they rose suddenly I will omit Bruno of Collen that sometime read the Philosophy Lecture at Paris did institute the Charterhouse Monks in the Diocesse of Gracionopolis at a place named Carthusia in the year of our Lord one thousand and eighty under Gregory the seventh Their life was outwardly full of painted holinesse in forbearing Flesh Fasting bread and water every Friday full of solitarinesse much silence ever pinned in and women were banished out of the house with other semblable Ceremonies The Carmelites or white Friers were as some say begun in Mount Carmelus after the example of Elias the Prophet which lived there long solitary that they were first assembled together by Almericus Bishop of Antioch the year of our Lord one thousand one hundred and seventy in the time of Alexander the third and they were also called our Lady Friers of a Chappel of our Lady that was in the Hill Carmelus Neverthelesse about four hundred years after in the time of Innocentius the third they were reformed by Albertus Bishop of Hierusalem according to the rule of Basilius and the colour of their coat was turned into white by Honorius the third where before it was Russet The other of Premonstratenses was instituted in the Diocesse of Laudune by Northbergus a Priest and the Precepts of that covent were gathered out of St Augustines rules and admitted for good by Calixtus the second in the year of our Lord 1120.

of Mary the Virgin in a Table painted And in the Sixth Council held at Constantinople by the commandment of Constantine and Justinian the second his son it was decreed That Images should be received into the Churches and worshipped with great reverence as a thing whereby the Laity might be instructed as instead of Scripture and that Incense might be burned and Tapers lighted before them This was about the year of our Lord 630 or as some take it about the 703 year or our Lord when Agatus was Bishop of Rome Afterward Constantine Bishop there confirmed that Decree and caused Images in the Church of Saint Peter and pronounced Philip the Emperour an Heretick because he had shaven and scraped away the Imagery that was in S. Sophie's Temple Not long after they were ratified and established in the Council of Nice where were assembled by the procurement of Eirene Mother of Constantine the 6th 350 Bishops The great Prophet of God Moses and his Successour Joshua divided the Land of Canaan among the Israelites assigning no part thereof to the Tribe of Levi because they were the Lord's portion saving that he gave them habitations in every Tribe and a little pasture for their Neat Sheep and other Cattle Therefore because they ministred in the Tabernacle of the Lord and executed such ceremonies as appertained to their Religion he appointed for them the first-fruits and tenths to live on And after this sort began the paying of Tythes by the Institution of Moses And Origen on the book of Numbers affirmeth that this commandement is to be observed of us after the letter without any allegory or mystical interpretation And it appeareth by Christ's words that he alloweth the literal sense of the old Law where he saith in the Gospel Wo be unto you Scribes and Pharisees ye that tythe Mint and Rue and all manner of herbs and passe over judgment and the Law of God these ought to have been done and not to leave the other undone where you may perceive how that as he commandeth one so he would not have the other omitted that be signified there litterally Eutychianus because in the Old Testament the first fruits were offered to the Lord ordained that Corn should be consecrated on the Altar as Oyl and Incense was burned in the Hebrews Synagogue and that Decree remaineth still in effect in some places But the Priests vertue is so old and mens devotion waxeth so cold that instead of the first-fruits now adayes the people use to bring on the Sundayes a few loaves of bread in some places two or three as they be disposed and those the Priest consecrateth and parteth by pieces among the people that whereas in time past they used to receive the Sacrament on those dayes now they eat this bread hallowed in memorial of it And this they do after the pattern of Christ which was ever wont to hallow bread before he either eat it or gave it to his Disciples Other Nations also used to offer their first-fruits and Tythes as the Romans offered to Hercules and Bacchus to Jupiter Mars gave to Jupiter the tenth of his prey of Lydia Urbanus a man of godly living and singular learning about the year of our Lord 222 decreed That it was lawful for Priests to receive such Rents or Lands as were given them albeit there was nothing private to any man but common to all And thus by little and little the spirituall possessions were enlarged and Bishops of Rome were greatly enriched Lucina an holy Maid of Rome made Marcellus Bishop there her Heir and Executor and afterward Constantine did largely endow the same Bishop The End of the Sixth Book Polidore Virgil. The Seventh BOOK CHAP. I. The beginning of the solitary life of Religious Persons THe matter hath been long in controversy who first began to inhabite VVildernesses for some as Saint Jerome witnesseth that have ransacked the uttermost say that Helias and John Baptist were Authors of the life solitary but as the one was more then a Prophet so the other was above the state and condition of Monks Some assign the original of it to Anthony others refer it to one Paul a Thebane surnamed Heremite But for asmuch as every man may speak his fancy in a thing doubtfull I think the institution of this Monastical life to have proceeded of the Essees a Religious brotherhood among the Hebrews that lived after a greater perfection then Monks did in their Superstitious and Fantastical Traditions as appeareth by the Eighth book of Eusebius De preparatione Evangelica Of their proceedings Anthony and Paul the Thebane took example of ordering the Rules and Precepts of their Religious Schollers Albeit it is right to ascribe the original of it to Anthony which although he were not the first yet he did much incourage the indeavours of all other to lead that life and Authorised the Discipline of Monks in Aegypt and afterward Basilius in Greece and Hilarion in Syria did much augment and amplify that purpose For this Hilarion a man of great vertue by calling on the name of Jesus healed at the City or Gaza the sons of a Noble Woman whereupon the brute of him was so noised that many out of Syria and Aegypt repaired unto him and he founded Abbeys in Palestine and instructed them with rules of living As for Anthony he lived in the Wildernesse of Thebais in Egypt and builded there an Abbey where he himself with Sarmatas Amatas and Macarius his Disciples lived in so earnest contemplation and Prayer that they lived onely with bread and water his holinesse was such that Helena mother of Constantine did commend her self and her son to his Prayers He died in the Wildernesse when he was an hundred years old the year of our Salvation 341 his Disciples Amatas and Macarius increased much the Religion after his death and Sarmatus was slain by the Saracens The institution of this state of living came I grant of a good zeal to godlinesse but the Devil perverter of all good things did so impoyson the hearts of men that they had more trust in their works then Faith in Christs bloud and then every man began new rules of works to be their own Saviours which was abominable in the sight of God CHAP. II. The division of Monastical life into s●●dry Sects and factions IN the year 166 after the death of Anthony Bennet an Italian born at Nursi in Vmbria when he had lived long in solitarinesse resorted to a City of Italy named Sabblaque a City of the Latines fourty miles from Rome And because he was greatly delighted with a solitary life and also the people pressed to see and hear his preachings he departed thence to Cassine And in the time of John the first in the year of our Lord 524 he builded there an Abbey and assembled the Monks that were dispersed alone in divers places into one covent and ordered them with instructions of

but not in a Vessel which is called Lacopella or Cupella and they have many other notable inventions Likewise they have found out strong waters wherewith they separate Brasse from Silver and Gold which could not be done in ancient times as Vlpianus the Lawyer affirms in lib. 5. § 3. ff De rei vindicat Where he saith that if Brasse were mixed with Gold it could not be deducted Those strong waters do wonderfully trouble the sight when they separate Gold from Silver For the Silver may be seen to ascend through the middle as if it were some certain Column and it is changed into green red and other colours and at last it is scattered in the water so that the Silver can be seen no more but all is full of water the Gold remaining in the Bottom The Cupella was lately found that admirable vessel is made of a bone of an Oxe In this Gold and Silver is put to be polished and purged of all spots and blemishes wherein nothing but even the very pure refined Gold remaines The Gold or Silver being involved in a thin leaf of Lead is cast into that little Vessel which is put on the fire and then the Cupella or little Vessel consumes all the other mettal which is in it but leaves the true Gold or Silver which lyeth in the bottome without any mixture untouched But there is a doubt whether Alchymy be lawfull or no And truly the interpreters as well of the Civill as spiritual or Canon Law affirm with one consent that though at the first sight it may seem to be concluded negatively forasmuch as it belongs to God alone to change one substance into another because no man though of never so great fame can perform that And therefore the Devill when he tempted Christ as if he were in doubt whether he were the Son of God or no said If thou art the Son of God cause that these stones may be made bread that is Do something which onely belongs to God to do Yet they concluded at last that Alchymy was lawfull And upon this Argument● viz. because all mettals proceed out of Sulphur and Quick-silver which the Alchymists call Mercury which if they receive Ayre Water and Heat sufficient are turned into Gold but if they want a fit temper that they cannot be brought to that perfection then they make Silver Tin Lead or Brasse according to the influence and disposition of the Elements Therefore humane Art doth not turn one substance into another but heat and temperament Sulphur and Quicksilver having the force and power to turn into Gold and if it cannot be done by reason of some defect then the Alchymists do supply that heat and temperament by their Art which will bring the Sulphur into the substance of Gold as well as if it had been natural John Andrea a noted interpreter of the Pontifical Law writeth that Arnoldus de villa nova turned Brass into little Rods of Gold in the Roman Court many Cardinals being present and presently departing he left it to any sort of trial The Art may be true but I believe that there are very few yea scarce one that is expert in it For those that professe it are either Fools or much inclined to poverty Therefore it is an ancient Proverb I never saw a rich Alchymist CHAP. IV. Of Distillation DIstillation was invented after that the Roman Empire was established It is credible that it was found at the same time in the exercise of Alchymy Some say that a certain Physitian having a dish upon the Table full of hearbs being suddenly called to visit a sick person covered that dish with another and then went away but being returned he found the uppermost dish moistned and hence considering that he might easily extract juices he bent his wit so far that thence he made the beginning of Distillation Others having imitated him by practising that Art have made it perfect That Art is profitable because out of it came Aquavitae Oyl of Cinnamon and innumerable other Liquors which are of very great effect By this means it happens that all those waters out of Succocory Capers and other hearbs which are wont to be administred to sick persons are now distilled whereas formerly they were onely boyled and the Decoction given to the Patients FINIS A Table containing most of the speciall Matters or Sentences in this Book A.
