FIrst vpon Wednesday, beyng the 18. of October,* 1.1 at af∣ter noone, M. Weston the Prolocutor certified the house that it was the Queenes pleasure,* 1.2 that the company of the same house beyng learned men, assembled, should debate of matters of Religion, and constitute lawes therof, which her grace and the Parliament would ratifie. And for that (sayd he) there is a booke of late set forth, called the Cate∣chisme (which he shewed forth) bearing the name of this honorable Synode, & yet put forth without your consents as I haue learned, beyng a booke very pestiferous, and ful of heresies, and likewyse a booke of Common prayer very abominable (as it pleased hym to terme it) I thought it therfore best, first to beginne with the articles of the Cate∣chisme, concernyng the sacrament of the aultar, to confirm the naturall presence of Christ in the same, and also tran∣substantiation: Wherfore (sayd he) it shall be lawfull on Friday next ensuyng, for all men freely to speake their con∣science in these matters, that all doubts may be remooued, and they fully satisfied therein.
Actes and monuments of matters most speciall and memorable, happenyng in the Church. [vol. 2, part 1] with an vniuersall history of the same, wherein is set forth at large the whole race and course of the Church, from the primitiue age to these latter tymes of ours, with the bloudy times, horrible troubles, and great persecutions agaynst the true martyrs of Christ, sought and wrought as well by heathen emperours, as nowe lately practised by Romish prelates, especially in this realme of England and Scotland. Newly reuised and recognised, partly also augmented, and now the fourth time agayne published and recommended to the studious reader, by the author (through the helpe of Christ our Lord) Iohn Foxe, which desireth thee good reader to helpe him with thy prayer.
