The B. of Sarisburie.

The former parte of this Conclusion is already answeared. But for the Se∣conde parte, If they, that haue refourmed the horrible Abuses of the Masse, be the Forerenners of Antichriste, what then may we thinke of them, that haue wil∣fully, and of purpose inuented, and erected al those Abuses? That haue taken from the people of God, not onely the Holy Communion, but also the vnderstandinge, and swéetenes, and comforte of the same? That haue spoiled Goddes Children of the Breade of Lyfe, and haue feadde them with the Breade of Confusion, that is, with Ignorance, Superstition, and Idolatrie? That haue mangled, and cor∣rupted Christes Blissed Mysteries, and haue wickedly defiled the Campe of the Lorde? And hauinge thus donne, yet notwithstandinge, haue faces to mainteine, and vpholde al their wilful doinges? What maie Goddes people thinke of them? And before whome doo they renne? Uerily Gerardus Lorichius M. Hardinges owne Doctour saithe thus,* 1.1 Missae priuatae, quae absente populo Catholico fiunt, abomi∣natio veriùs, quàm Oblatio, dicendae sunt. Priuate Masses, whiche are saide without pre∣sence of the people, are rather an Abomination, then a Sacrifice. And S. Augustine saith,

Si Iohannes ita diceret,* 1.2 Si quis peccauerit, me habetis Mediarorem apud Patrem, & ego exoro pro peccatis vestris, Quis eum ferre•• bonorum, & fidelium Christiano∣rum? Quis sicut Apostolum Christi, & non sicut Antichristum intueretur? If S. Iohn woulde saye thus, If any man finne, ye haue me your Mediatour with the Father, and I obteine pardon for your sinnes, what good, and Faithful Christian man coulde abide him? who woulde looke vpon him, as vpon the Apostle of Christe, and not rather as vpon Antichriste?
