So by the gift on the altar, vers. 18. these, they taught, were tied: the other 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for a summe of money be dispensed with, that swore by the Temple, or the altar. Not so those that swore by the gold of the Temple, that is, decicated to the Temple, or by the gift on the altar: for these oaths brought these blinde guides in commodity, which the swearer was forced presently to pay down. The peo∣ple also were hereby made more free and forward to offer gold for the Temple, sacrifices for the altar; because they were made be∣lieve, that those presents were more precious then either Temple or altar. Pretty devices these were to get money; and are they 〈◊〉〈◊〉 still practised by Papists? Philip Brasier was abjured in Henry* 1.1 the eighths time, for saying, That when any cure is done the Priests do noint the Images, and make men believe the Images do sweat in labouring for them. The rood of Grace, and bloud 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Hails is not orious. Our Lady of Loretto hath her Churches so* 1.2 stuffed with vowed presents and memories, that they are fain to hang their cloysters and Church-yards with them. They teach the people, that as they may sooner go to Christ by S. Dominick then by S. 〈◊〉〈◊〉: so to swear by holy reliques, and in swearing to lay hand on them, is a more binding oath, then to swear by God, laying hand on the Bible.
