The 10. diuision. Of the Popish Agnus Dei.

THe Popes of late time haue vsed euerie seauenth yeare, and the first yeare that euerie one is made Pope, to conse∣crate solemnely with prayers, chrisme, and manifold ceremoni∣monies,* 1.1 certaine round peeces of waxe hauing the print of a Lambe, and for that cause so tearmed. With this kind of pal∣tery stuffe this world is so bewitched, that infinite numbers do ascribe a great part of their saluation thereunto. He that hath an Agnus Dei about him, beleeueth that he shalbe deliuered by sea and lande, from all tempests, thunder, earthquakes, fire, haile, thunderbolts, sodaine death, and from all euill. If any man will not beleeue me, let him reade a little booke printed at Colonia, containing the order sodalitatis B. Mariae virginis; which is euerie where to be sold; in which booke he shall find, much more then I haue said.
