MARTIN LUTHER:
"A TREATISE ON THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT IS THE HOLY MASS
1519
JESUS [1]
1. Experience all chronicles, and the Holy Scriptures besides, teach us this truth: the less law, the more justice; the fewer commandments, the more good works. No well-regulated community ever existed long, if at all, where there were many laws. Therefore, before the ancient law of Moses, the Patriarchs of old had no prescribed law and order for the service of God other than the sacrifices; as we read of Adam, Abel, Noah and others. Afterward, circumcision was enjoined upon Abraham and his household, until the time of Moses, through whom God gave the people of Israel divers laws, forms, and practices, for the sole purpose of teaching human nature how utterly useless many laws are to make people pious. For although the law leads and drives away from evil to good works, it is still impossible for man to do them willingly and gladly; but he has at all times an aversion for the law and would rather be free. Now where there is unwillingness, there can never be a good work. For what is not done willingly is not good, and only seems to be good. Consequently, all the laws cannot make one really pious without the grace of God, for they can produce only dissemblers, hypocrites, pretenders, and proud saints, [Matt 6.2] such as have their reward here, and never please God. [Matt. 1 10] Thus He says to the Jews, Malachi i: "I have no pleasure in you; for who is there among you that would even as much as shut a door for me, willingly and out of love?
[1 See above p. 25 as note '1 In the original editions the word Jesus appears at the head of each of the works, and the present editors have retained the use, which was apparently an act of obedience to the command, "Whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus." (Col. 3: 17) ]
[Sects & Divisions] 2. Another result of many laws is this, that many sects and divisions in the congregations [Gemeinden] arise from them. One adopts this way, another that, and there grows up in each man a false, secret love for his own sect, and a hatred, or at least a contempt for, and a disregard of the other sects, whereby brotherly, free, common love perishes, and selfish love prevails. So Jeremiah and Hosea speak [Jer. 2:28,Hos.:11,12] yea, all the prophets lament that the people of Israel divided themselves into as many sects as there were cities in the land each desiring to outdo the others. Thence also arose the Sadducee and Pharisees in the Gospel. ---
[few, human precept rules of obedience to government-over God and man].
---So we observe to-day, that through the Spiritual Law [1] but little justice and piety have arisen in Christendom; the world has been filled with dissemblers and hypocrites and with so many sects, orders, and divisions of the one people of Christ, that almost every city is divided into ten parties or more. And they daily devise new ways and manners (as they think) of serving God, until it has come to this, that priests, monks, [clergy,clerics, ministers] and laity [a.k.a., collective, mass people- segregated from their predetermined conclusions, human precept leaders] have become more hostile toward each other than Turks --
[Saracen, Ottoman v. Kurds, Muslims sharing Mohamed with ISIS/ Iranian proxies, PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, Yemen, Lebanon]
--and Christians [meaning only- "The human precept, body of Christ bible is written for community of collective sinners and not for "Holy Spirit-TRUTH, One God in Three Persons, where an Individual, THIRD PERSON's ETERNAL LIVING SOUL/ HEART/ MIND, CONSCIENCE for WILL
, a Man, a Woman, A Child/ Youth-is any One who Loves, Obeys, Follows PERFECT LOVE of our FATHER, THE ETERNAL LIVING GOD, THE CREATOR, With SECOND PERSON, THE JOY OF THE ETERNAL SON OF GOD, CHRIST JESUS, but ".. learns himSelf-challenge, with inherent choice, wrangling spirit of devil "words and signs"....]. --- continuing
---Yea, the priests and the monks are deadly enemies, wrangling about their self conceived ways and methods like fools and madmen, not only to the hindrance, but to the very destruction of Christian love and unity. Each one clings to his sect and despises the others; and they regard the laymen as though they were No Christians. This lamentable condition is only a result of the laws.
3. Christ, in order that He might prepare for Himself [The Mass Christ's Law] an acceptable and beloved people, which should be bound together in unity through love, abolished the whole law of Law Moses. ----

Though Dr. Luther is reflecting he is a Priest, but of ALL people in "separate and equal station" before God's Universe]
----And that He might not give further occasion for divisions, He did not again appoint more than one law or order for His entire people, and that the holy mass. For although baptism is also an external ordinance, yet it takes place but once, and is not a practice of the entire life, like the mass. Therefore, after baptism there is to be no other external order for the service of God except the mass. And where the mass is used, there is a true service, even though there be no other form, with singing, playing, bell-ringing, vestments, ornaments and postures; for everything of this sort is an addition invented by men. When Christ Himself first instituted this sacrament and held the first mass, there were no patens [plate, cover for chalice], no chasuble, no singing, no pageantry, but only thanksgiving to God, and the use of the sacrament. After this same simplicity the Apostles and all Christians long time held mass, until the divers forms and additions arose, by which the Romans [Papal Authority] held mass one way, the Greeks another; and now it has finally come to this, that the chief thing in the mass has become unknown, and nothing is remembered except the additions of men. [1 Luther's customary term for the law of the Church, or "Canon Law."
[Though Dr. Luther is 1519, doesn't even know Englishman, 1378, John Wycliffe, Luther still, accurately, reflects "Morning Star/ Good Commons-Wycliffe, Peter Walden, Jan Hus, Helvig Zwingli and William Tyndale, both of whom went to Worms, Germany to publish, in the corruption that continues, to repudiate and abrogate God in Christ, exactly as Jesus teaches, i.e., John 8, The Pharisees [not the Jews "who believed n Him -- by the thousands to 10's of thousands as Peter, John, Paul and disciples teach circumcised/ body's 5 senses, human precept-Jews/ uncircumcised-Gentiles, man/ woman, Freeman/ slave-- all are One in Liberty of God, the dialog has moved to inside the temple, Jesus walks through unseen, as they get ready to throw stones] have just called him a [spirit of] d-evil, his saying he knew a "DEAD" Abraham..,"54.Iesus answered, If I honour myselfe, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55 Yet ye haue not knowen him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shalbe a lyar like vnto you: but I know him, and keepe his saying. 56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day: and he saw it, & was glad. ..".]

SATAN, HIS PRIESTS, AND HIS FEIGNED RELIGIOUS.
"On the charge that it is against charity to speak openly against the sins of prelates, and other men, the Reformer expatiates largely. It is argued, that if this charge were true, it would follow that the teaching of Christ and his apostles and not less the teaching of the prophets under the Old Testament dispensation, must be included in it, as nothing is more conspicuous in their preaching than the denunciation of sin, and not only of sin, in general, but of classes and persons. "Almighty God, full of charity, commandeth to the prophet Isaiah, to cry and cease not, and to show to the people their great sins. Sin in the commons is great, sin in mighty and wise men is more, but sin in prelates is most, and most blindeth the people. True men, therefore, are bound by God's commandment to cry most against the sin of prelates, since it is the most, and harmeth most the people." The language of the Almighty to the prophet Ezekiel is cited as showing that the priest who shall fail to warn sinful men of their danger, will be held responsible for the souls which perish through such want of fidelity. Concerning such of the clergy as complained that their faults were exposed in their absence, Wycliffe observes, "Antichrist maketh them so mighty, that in their presence no man dare speak against their open sins, but if he would be dead anon." To prohibit complaint in their absence, accordingly, was to impose the most absolute silence concerning any of their evil deeds.
The following passage will indicate the notion of our Reformer in respect to the materials of which ecclesiastical councils were generally composed. On such occasions, "worldly prelates make a congregation of themselves and of clerks assenting to them; some assenting for worldly favour, some for gold and the hope of benefices, and some for fear of the curse, of losing benefices, of slander ['modern' government of man's devotion to "hypocrisy to destroy all virtuous life, justice..", forbids slander, notably reputation to ever be any form of civil-state, magistrate crime], of imprisoning and burning." The assemblies thus constituted are described as doing their utmost to disparage the word of God, and to prevent the people from taking it as their guide; but it is maintained that everything thus alleged concerning the supposed insufficiency of Scripture, is so much IMPUTATION cast upon the wisdom or benevolence of its Author. In this tract Wycliffe censures the manner in which the religious orders sometimes attempted to recruit their forces from among the young and unwary [Human body's as teachers brainwash -Child/ youth v. all inanimate tools, guns are evil dangers - forbidden, ORAL, COMMON LAW, Truth, Trust, Promise-God]. "It is an accursed fraud, he exclaims, "to draw young children that have but little discretion to these new feigned religious, by gifts, and by promises of worldly lordships, honour, and sureness of bodily welfare, more than by telling them of willing poverty, and penance, and despite, and of the forsaking of all things. All this is simony and heresy, if it be well sought. But it is a more accursed falsehood still to steal young children from their friends, and by false deceits make them to be professed, sometimes against their will, and not to suffer them to go out of their vain order though they know themselves unable thereto."
The following sentiment also, bearing in mind when and where it was uttered, will be seen as one of great force and interest. "Christian men should know, that whosoever liveth best, prayeth best; and that the simple paternoster of a ploughman who hath charity, is better than a thousand masses of covetous prelates and vain religious!" The piece concludes thus: "Almighty God in Trinity, destroy these nests of Antichrist and his clerks, and strengthen all manner of men to maintain the truth of Holy Writ, to destroy falsehood, and openly to preach against the hypocrisy, heresy, and covetousness of all evil prelates, and priests, and feigned religious, both in word and deed, for then shall good life and truth, and peace, and charity reign among Christian men! Jesus Christ! for thine endless mercy grant us this end! Amen." [Robert Vaughn, D.D., Pgs. 54-56]

He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. After his death, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution. Bacon has been called the father of empiricism.[4] His works established and popularised inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or simply the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today. Bacon was knighted in 1603, and created Baron Verulam in 1618 and Viscount St. Alban in 1621;[b] as he died without heirs, both peerages became extinct upon his death. He died of pneumonia, supposedly contracted while studying the effects of freezing on the preservation of meat.”(Wikipedia) WORDS: Person, Establishment, Opinion, Weal, Integral, Conceit, Reason, High, Matter, Averment, Court, Perceive, Quality, Envy, Replacement, Belief, Fix, Skill, Replenish, Race, Sop, Tempt, Preacher, Thought, Confidence, Meet, Perturbation. & -Richard Bentley (/'b?ntli/; 27 January 1662 – 14 July 1742) was an English classical scholar, critic, and theologian.

2. To receive form or shape. Metal will cast and mold. –John Woodward (1 May 1665 – 25 April 1728) was an English naturalist, antiquarian and geologist, and founder by bequest of the Woodwardian Professorship of Geology at Cambridge University. Though a leading supporter of the importance of observation and experiment in what we now call science, few of his theories have survived. At the age of sixteen he went to London, where he was initially apprenticed to a linen draper, but later studied medicine with Dr. Peter Barwick, physician to Charles II. As a leading physician who had never been to university, Woodward was a prominent figure on the "Modern" side in the Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns in early 18th century England, on the medical and other fronts. In 1692 he was appointed Gresham Professor of Physic. In 1693 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, in 1695 was made M.D. by Archbishop Tenison and also by Cambridge,[3] and in 1702 became a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. A celebrated shield, bought by John Conyers from a London ironmonger, was sold after his death by one of his daughters to Woodward.[5] Dr WOODWARD’S SHIELD, now in the British Museum, is today recognised as a classicising French Renaissance buckler of the mid-16th century, perhaps sold from the Royal Armouries of Charles II, but was thought by Woodward and others to be an original Roman work. Woodward published in 1713 a treatise on the shield, provoking a satire by Alexander Pope, written in the same year but not printed until 1733, on the "follies of antiquarianism".[6] Woodward is mentioned twice in Pope's Fourth Satire of Dr. John Donne, and is one candidate for the original of "Mummius" in Pope's The Dunciad.

To judge, or to consider, in order to judge. –.John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse. Milton's poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica (1644)—written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship—is among history's most influential and impassioned defences of free speech and freedom of the press.

For although baptism is also an external ordinance, yet it takes place but once, and is not a practice of the entire life, like the mass. Therefore, after baptism there is to be no other external order for the service of God except the mass. And where the mass is used, there is a true service, even though there be no other form, with singing, playing, bell-ringing, vestments, ornaments and postures; for everything of this sort is an addition invented by men. When Christ Himself first instituted this sacrament and held the first mass, there were no patens [plate, cover for chalice], no chasuble, no singing, no pageantry, but only thanksgiving to God, and the use of the sacrament. After this same simplicity the Apostles and all Christians long time held mass, until the divers forms and additions arose, by which the Romans [Papal Authority] held mass one way, the Greeks another; and now it has finally come to this, that the chief thing in the mass has become unknown, and nothing is remembered except the additions of men.

from Martin Luther, "A TREATISE on the HOLY SACRAMENT of BAPTISM"
1519
[Martin Luther] is confronted with a rite universally found in Christendom
and nowhere else, the one distinctive mark of a Christian the seal of a divine
covenant. What it means is proclaimed by its very external form. But it is more
than a mere object lesson pictorially representing a great truth. With Luther
Word, and Spirit, sign and that which is signified, belong together. Wherever
the one is present, there also is the efficacy of the other. The sign is not
limited to the moment of administration, and that which is signified is not
projected far into the distant future of adult years.
The emphatic preference here shown for immersion may surprise
those not familiar with Luther's writings He prefers it as a matter of choice
between non essentials. To quote only his treatise of the next year on the
Babylonian Captivity [Apocrypha]: "I wish that those to be baptised were
entirely sunken in the water; not that I think it necessary, but that of so
perfect and complete a thing, there should be also an equally complete and
perfect sign." [3] It was a form that was granted as permissible in current
Orders approved by the Roman Church, and was continued in succeeding Orders. [1]
Even when immersion was not used, the copious application of the water was a
prominent feature of the ceremony. .... Nor should it be forgotten that the
immersion which Luther had in mind was not that of adults, almost unknown at the
time, and as he himself says, practically unknown for about a thousand years,
[3] but that of infants. ..." PGS.51-52

XX De Diabolo et Membris [The Devil & Members]
The English title of this piece is----How Satan and his priests, and his feigned religious, casten [c. Contrive---cast about] by three heresies to destroy all good living, and to maintain all manner of sin. It begins thus---As Almighty God in Trinity ordaineth men to come to bliss of heaven by three grounds, by knowing the Trinity, by sad faith, true keeping of God's commandments, and by perfect and endless charity: so Satan and his worldly clerks, and his feigned religious, full of hypocrisy casten to destroy all virtuous life, and justice, and maintain all manner of sin by these three cursed grounds:---the first is, that Holy Writ is false; the second is, that it is lawful and medeful ["Meritorius 3.To deserve, in an ill sense; to have a just title to. Every violation of law merits punishment. Every sin merits God's displeasure"] to lie; the third, that it is against charity to cry openly against prelates' sins, and men's. .SATAN, HIS PRIESTS, AND HIS FEIGNED RELIGIOUS.
"On the charge that it is against charity to speak openly against the sins of prelates, and other men, the Reformer expatiates largely. It is argued, that if this charge were true, it would follow that the teaching of Christ and his apostles and not less the teaching of the prophets under the Old Testament dispensation, must be included in it, as nothing is more conspicuous in their preaching than the denunciation of sin, and not only of sin, in general, but of classes and persons. "Almighty God, full of charity, commandeth to the prophet Isaiah, to cry and cease not, and to show to the people their great sins. Sin in the commons is great, sin in mighty and wise men is more, but sin in prelates is most, and most blindeth the people. True men, therefore, are bound by God's commandment to cry most against the sin of prelates, since it is the most, and harmeth most the people." The language of the Almighty to the prophet Ezekiel is cited as showing that the priest who shall fail to warn sinful men of their danger, will be held responsible for the souls which perish through such want of fidelity. Concerning such of the clergy as complained that their faults were exposed in their absence, Wycliffe observes, "Antichrist maketh them so mighty, that in their presence no man dare speak against their open sins, but if he would be dead anon." To prohibit complaint in their absence, accordingly, was to impose the most absolute silence concerning any of their evil deeds.
The following passage will indicate the notion of our Reformer in respect to the materials of which ecclesiastical councils were generally composed. On such occasions, "worldly prelates make a congregation of themselves and of clerks assenting to them; some assenting for worldly favour, some for gold and the hope of benefices, and some for fear of the curse, of losing benefices, of slander ['modern' government of man's devotion to "hypocrisy to destroy all virtuous life, justice..", forbids slander, notably reputation to ever be any form of civil-state, magistrate crime], of imprisoning and burning." The assemblies thus constituted are described as doing their utmost to disparage the word of God, and to prevent the people from taking it as their guide; but it is maintained that everything thus alleged concerning the supposed insufficiency of Scripture, is so much IMPUTATION cast upon the wisdom or benevolence of its Author. In this tract Wycliffe censures the manner in which the religious orders sometimes attempted to recruit their forces from among the young and unwary [Human body's as teachers brainwash -Child/ youth v. all inanimate tools, guns are evil dangers - forbidden, ORAL, COMMON LAW, Truth, Trust, Promise-God]. "It is an accursed fraud, he exclaims, "to draw young children that have but little discretion to these new feigned religious, by gifts, and by promises of worldly lordships, honour, and sureness of bodily welfare, more than by telling them of willing poverty, and penance, and despite, and of the forsaking of all things. All this is simony and heresy, if it be well sought. But it is a more accursed falsehood still to steal young children from their friends, and by false deceits make them to be professed, sometimes against their will, and not to suffer them to go out of their vain order though they know themselves unable thereto."
The following sentiment also, bearing in mind when and where it was uttered, will be seen as one of great force and interest. "Christian men should know, that whosoever liveth best, prayeth best; and that the simple paternoster of a ploughman who hath charity, is better than a thousand masses of covetous prelates and vain religious!" The piece concludes thus: "Almighty God in Trinity, destroy these nests of Antichrist and his clerks, and strengthen all manner of men to maintain the truth of Holy Writ, to destroy falsehood, and openly to preach against the hypocrisy, heresy, and covetousness of all evil prelates, and priests, and feigned religious, both in word and deed, for then shall good life and truth, and peace, and charity reign among Christian men! Jesus Christ! for thine endless mercy grant us this end! Amen." [Robert Vaughn, D.D., Pgs. 54-56]
X. ON BAPTISM [Pgs.156-158]
Alithia. Let us indulge no more in these vexatious disputes with Pseudis,
but pass at once to the other six sacraments. And as you do not discuss them
according to the order before-mentioned, but according to their comparative
authority in Scripture, next to the eucharist you must treat of baptism.
Phronesis. I agree with you; and in the first place let us observe where the
institution of baptism is established in Scripture. In the last chapter of
Matthew Christ commands his disciples, saying, Go ye, therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost." And accordingly Philip, when about to baptize the eunuch, Acts viii,
first instructed him in the faith, as did the apostles, Acts ii, when they
baptized the people. John the Baptist, however, had no need to instruct Christ,
Luke iii, but, on the contrary, was instructed in humility and other virtues by
our Lord. On account of the words in the last chapter of Matthew, our church
introduces believers, who answer for the infant which has not yet arrived at
years of discretion. Those who have attained years of discretion, while yet
under instruction, are called, before baptism, catechumens.
How necessary this sacrament is to the believer may be seen by
the words of Christ to Nicodemus, John iii., "Unless a man be born again of
water and the Spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God." And such, accordingly,
is the authority from Scripture, on which believers are customarily baptized.
The church requires for baptism, pure water--- no other liquid : nor is it of
moment whether the baptized be immersed once, or thrice, or whether the water be
poured on the head; but the ceremony must be performed according to the usage of
the place, and is as legitimate in one way as another, for it is certain that
bodily baptism or washing is of little avail, unless there goes with it the
washing of the mind by the Holy Spirit, from original or actual sin. For herein
it is a fundamental article of belief, that whenever a man is duly baptized,
baptism destroys whatever sin was found in the man.* Now inasmuch as before sin
can be taken away, satisfaction is required, and satisfaction for sin cannot be
made save by the death of Christ, so therefore the apostle saith, (Rom vi) "We
who are baptized into Christ Jesus, are baptized into his death.
Alithia./ truth verity What you say of the outward appearance pleases me; but tell me
clearly, I pray you how, it is that Christ, who was so greatly opposed to
sensible signs, has made a washing of this nature necessary to salvation? For it
seems to derogate from the Divine munificence and power, that God, with all his
merit and passion, should not be able to save an infant, or an adult believer,
unless an old woman, or some one else, shall perform the ceremony of baptism,
just as for an unbeliever. In the same manner the child of a believer is carried
into the church to be baptized, according to the rule of Christ, and in failure
of water, or some requisite, (the whole people retaining their pious intent,)
the child is not baptized, and meanwhile dies by the visitation of God ; it
seems hard, in this case, to assert that this infant will be lost, especially
since neither the child nor the people sinned, so as to be the cause of its
condemnation. Where is the compassionate bounty of the Divine Christ, if such an
offspring of believers is from this cause to be lost, when God, according to the
common principles of theology, is more ready to reward than condemn men, both
through the obedience and passion of Christ, and his own long-suffering?
Phronesis/Wisdom-Greek. You have urged this point with much subtlety and acuteness. But
you must attend to the distinction of terms on this subject. Some things I state
as absolut assertions, others as suppositions; and in this
last sense I regard the holy doctors of the church to have spoken, even the
greatest of them who came after the writers of Scripture. But I state those
things as absolute assertions, which are either testified by my own senses, or
plain from faith in Scripture ; while others, of which, though lacking of
argument, I feel persuaded as probable, those I suppose to be true. And it is in
this way of supposition that I speak on this subject.
With regard to your first instance, in respect to signs, it
appears to me that Christ approves of the use of signs, though he condemns their
abuse. Thus 1 understand Matthew xii., "An adulterous generation seeketh after
a sign," &c. For Christ, in his own person, is a sensible sign, and as it
seems to me, the sacrament of sacraments, since the definition of a sacrament
applies to him in the highest degree: for as Moses lifted up the brazen serpent
in the wilderness, and all who had been stung by the serpents were healed on
looking up to that serpent, as is said, Num. xxi., so Jesus our living serpent,
having the likeness of sin upon him, though he could not possibly sin, was
suspended on the cross, that those who are stung by the poison of the old
serpent, sin, may become spiritually whole. Christ therefore approves of signs,
both under the new law and in the old, but is opposed to their abuse. You must
mark, then, that the mystical body of Christ, during the time of the old law,
was like a child, to be instructed in many ways by such sensible signs ; but as
the church grew in age under the law of grace, signs of this nature are not so
much to be regarded. Accordingly I think there is in the present day a threefold
abuse of these signs. In the first place, because the signs of the old law
are observed, which, according to the decision of the apostles, should now
cease, as appears from Acts xv. and the epistle to the Galatians. And especially
is this the case with regard to signs denoting objects which have passed away;
for consistency would require that those who observe the signs should look to
the objects of which they are significant.
The second abuse with regard to signs consists in the undue
importance attached to them. Many attend so much to the observance of such
signs, which are not according to the law of God, but have been improvidently
ordained from human fancy, that they would sooner transgress the decalogue than
neglect such observances.
The third abuse is, the burthening of the church with such signs
which Christ hath declared should be free from them, so that the yoke is even
greater than was endured by the church under the old dispensation. Of
these two abuses, our religious generally are guilty. It is plain that signs,
especially those instituted by Christ, may be lawfully used with moderation,
these three abuses being guarded against. Since, then, Christ himself instituted
the sign of baptism, why should we not in a prudent manner observe it,
especially as we are still only pilgrims, and have not yet attained to clear
knowledge; and seeing that it is necessary that we should be led in this way by
some signs of this nature?
[* This language points to a kind of baptismal regeneration, but the reader
will find that this doctrine is considerably modified and guarded by the
language of the Reformer when taken largely.]
JOHN WYCLIFFE:
J. Wycliffe "X. The Great Sentence of Curse Expounded"
[Pg.bottom 33, 34] "...It is said no man should seek it, inasmuch as that would be to
forget the admonition of Scripture---"No man taketh this honour upon himself,
but he that is called of God, as was Aaron." When bishoprics were poor, and to
become a bishop was to be exposed to martyrdom, it might have been well to
aspire to such distinction; but in these later times, when the office is
connected with much temptation to indulge in every sort of worldliness, a devout
man may with good reason avoid, rather than seek such an elevation.
Such persons are said to calumniate Christ and his disciples, as
having failed to present a true pattern of life to their followers, so long as
their own life presents an example so widely different from that which has been
thus placed before them. "It is a great sin to witness falsely against a
poor man; it is a greater sin so to witness against a holy man ; but most of all
to do so with the name of Christ, the Head of all saints, and the Lord of all
lords. Also it is a great sin to lie, and to defraud men of their temporal
goods; much more to deprive them of spiritual goods, of virtues, and good life,
and most of all to deprive them of faith, and of the mirror of Christ's life,
which is the ground of all well being hereafter."
[Pgs.34-36] The following passage expresses Wycliffe's opinion respecting
the middle age usage well known by the name of "the rights of sanctuary
(italics added)," which consisted in extending the privilege of the Hebrew
cities of refuge, to certain ecclesiastical edifices and that not merely in
respect to manslaying, but to offences of all descriptions. The communities of
such places are said to "challenge franchise and privilege, that wicked men,
open thieves, and manslayers, and those who have borrowed their neighbours
goods, and are in power to pay and make restitution, shall there dwell in
sanctuary, and no man impeach them by process of law, nor oath sworn on God's
body; and they maintain stiffly that the king must confirm this privilege, and
such nests of thieves and robbery in his kingdom!" In rude states of society,
some usage of this nature has generally; obtained but in the age of the
Reformer, its abuses had become greater than its uses. Wycliffe regarded all
such obtrusions of the authority of the priest on the province of the civil
magistrate with suspicion, and remarks in this treatise, that a man has better
prospect of justice if cited before "the king or the emperor," than if obliged
to appear before any tribunal called "court Christian."
Hence few things excited more indignation in the Reformer, than that
the clergy, who were generally so much disposed to invade the sphere of the
magistrate, should have set up a claim of exemption from his authority even in
civil matters.
"Worldly clerks, and feigned religious" he writes, "break and
destroy much the king's peace and his kingdom. For the prelates of this world,
and priests, more or less, say fast ,and write in their law, that the king hath
no jurisdiction nor power over their persons, nor over the goods of holy church.
And yet Christ and his apostles were most obedient to kings and lords, and
taught all men to be subject to them, and to serve them truly and skilfully in
bodily works (italics added), and to dread them and worship them before
all other men. The wise king Solomon put down a high priest who was false to him
and his kingdom, and exiled him, and ordained a good priest in his room, as the
third book of Kings telleth.
"And Jesus Christ paid tribute to the emperor, and commanded men to
pay him tribute. And St Peter commandeth Christian men to be subject to every
creature of men, whether unto the king as more high than others, or unto dukes
as sent of him, to the vengeance of evil doers, and the praise of good men.
Also St Paul commandeth, by authority of God, that every soul be subject to the
higher powers, for there is no power but of God. Princes be not to the dread of
good workers, but of evil. Wilt thou not dread the power ---do good and thou
shalt have praising of the same. For he is God's minister to thee for good.
Surely if thou hast done evil, dread thou, for he beareth not the sword in
vain.
"Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered meekly a painful death under
Pilate, not excusing himself from his jurisdiction by his clergy. And St Paul
professed himself ready to suffer death by doom of the emperor's justice, if he
were worthy of death, as Deeds of the Apostles showeth.
And Paul appealed to the heathen emperor from the priests of the
Jews, for to be under his jurisdiction, and to save his life. Lord! who hath
made our worldly clergy exempt from the king's jurisdiction and chastening, for
since God giveth kings this office over all misdoers, clerks, and particularly
high priests should be most meek and obedient to the lords of this world, as
were Christ and his apostles, and should be a mirror before all men, teaching
them to give this meekness and obedience to the king and his righteous laws
(italics added). How strong thieves and traitors are they now to lords and
kings, in denying this obedience, and giving an example to all men in the land
to become rebels against the king and lords. For in this they teach ignorant
men, and the commons of the land, both in words and laws, and open deeds, to be
false and rebellious against the king and other lords. And this seemeth well by
their new law of decretals, where the proud clerks have ordained this---that our
clergy shall pay no subsidy nor tax, nor keeping of our king, and our realm,
without leave and assent of the worldly priest of Rome.
And yet many times this proud worldly priest is an enemy of our land,
and secretly maintaiheth our enemies in war against us with our own gold. And
thus they make an alien priest, and he the proudest of all priests, to be chief
lord of the whole of those goods which clerks possess in the realm, and that is
the greatest part thereof! Where, then, are there greater heretics to God or
holy church, and particularly to their liege lord in this kingdom? To make an
alien worldly priest, an enemy to us, the chief lord over the greater part of
our country!
"And commonly the new laws which the clergy have made are contrived
with much subtlety to bring down the power of lords and kings, and to make
themselves lords, and to have all in their power. Certainly it seemeth that
these worldly prelates are more bent to destroy the power of kings and lords,
which God ordained for the government of his church, than God is to destroy even
the power of the fiend:---for God setteth the fiend a term which he shall do,
and no more; but he still suffereth his power to last, for the profit of
Christian men, and the great punishment of misdoers; but these worldly clerks
would never cease, if left alone, until they have fully destroyed kings and
lords, with their regalia and power."
[Pg 36-39] The next chapter relates to the excommunication commonly
pronounced against all perjured persons: and prelates, and the beneficed clergy
generally, are admonished that to this sentence they are themselves justly
exposed, by reason of the many things in their conduct which are contrary to
their oaths, taken when entering upon their office. Another point against which
this periodical anathema, was directed, was the conduct of men who should in any
way prevent the due execution of the "will of a dead man." But our blessed Lord,
in his testament, is said to "bequeath to his disciples and their successors,
peace in themselves, and in the world persecution and tribulation for his law.
But worldly clerks break shamefully this worthy testament of Jesus
Christ, for they seek the peace and prosperity of this world ---peace with the
fiend, and with their flesh, and will endure no labour for keeping or teaching
God's law, but rather persecute good men who would teach it, and so make war
upon Christ and his people, to obtain worldly muck which Christ forbids to
clerks. In the life of Christ, and in his Gospel, which is his
testament, and in the life and teaching of his apostles, our clerks will find
nothing but poverty, meekness, spiritual labour, and the despisings of worldly
men, because reproved for their sins, and great reward in heaven for their good
life, and true teaching, and cheerful suffering of death.--Therefore Jesus
Christ was so poor in this life, that he had no house of his own by worldly
title to rest his head in, as he himself saith in the Gospel. And St Peter was
so poor, that he neither silver nor gold to give to a poor crooked man, as he
witnesseth in the book of the Apostles Deeds. St Paul was so poor in goods that
he laboured with his hands for his livelihood, and suffered much persecution and
watchfulness, and great thought for all churches in Christendom, as he himself
saith, and as is said in many places Holy Writ. And St Bernard writeth to the
pope, that in this worldly array, and plenty of gold, and silver, and lands, he
is successor Constantine the emperor, and not of Jesus Christ and his disciples.
And Jesus said, on confirming this testament after rising from the dead---As my
Father sent me, so I send you, that is, to labour, and persecution, and poverty,
and hunger, and martyrdom!"
Thus in the judgment of Wycliffe, the church, and especially the
clergy, should be regarded as in the place of executors to the will Christ, that
will being strictly confined to the setting forth of it in Holy Scripture; and
the ecclesiastical persons of the age are charged with grossly violating their
obligations in respect to that testament, both by their teaching and example.
The next anathema was that pronounced on all persons who should "falsify the
king's charter, or assist thereto." But it is alleged that the lands of the
clergy were granted by the king for certain specified purposes, and that
clergymen commonly apply the produce of such lands to purposes the opposite of
those specified, and that in so doing they sin against the charter both of their
earthly and their heavenly sovereign.
"Also they falsify the king's charter by great treason, when they make
the proud bishop of Rome who is the chief manqueller [manslayer, mankiller, a murderer] on earth, and the chief
maintainor [supports, sustains, preserves, vindicates], thereof chief worldly lord of all the goods which clerks possess in
our realm, and that is almost all the realm, or the more part thereof. For he
should be the meekest and the poorest of priests, and the most busy in God's
service to save men's souls, as were Christ and his apostles, since he calleth
himself the chief vicar of Christ. Hereby these worldly clerks show themselves
traitors to God, and to their liege lord the king, whose law and regalia they
destroy by their treason, in favour of the pope, whom they nourish in the works
Antichrist, that they may have their worldly state, and opulence, and lusts
maintained by him." .."
The sixteenth chapter commences with these words: "All those who falsify the pope's bulls or a bishop's letter, are cursed grievously in all churches four times in the year." Here Wycliffe proceeds to ask:--- "Lord why was not Christ's Gospel put in this sentence by our worldly clerks? Here it seems they magnify the pope's bull more than the Gospel; and in token of this they punish more the men who trespass against the pope's bulls than those who trespass against Christ's Gospel. And hereby men of this world dread more the pope's lead [the seal attached to papal documents], and his commandment, than the Gospel of Christ and God's commands; and thus wretched men in this world are brought out of belief, and hope, and charity, and become rotten in heresy and blasphemy, even worse than heathen hounds. Also a penny clerk, who can neither read nor understand a verse of his psalter, nor repeat God's commandments, bringeth forth a bull of lead, witnessing that he is able to govern many souls, against God's doom, and open experience of truth. And to procure this false bull they incur costs, and labour, and oftentimes fight, and give much gold out of our land to aliens and enemies, and many thereby are dead by the hand of our enemies, to their comfort, and our confusion. Also the proud priest of Rome getteth images of Peter and Paul, and maketh Christian men believe that all which his bulls speak of is done by authority of Christ; and thus, as far as he may, he maketh this bull, which is false, to be Peter's, and Paul's, and Christ's, and in that maketh them false. And by this blasphemy he robbeth Christendom of faith, and good life, and worldly goods.
"And if any poor man tell the truth of Holy Writ against the hypocrisy of Antichrist and his officers, nought else follows but to curse him, to imprison, burn and slay him, without answer. It now seemeth that John's prophecy in the Apocalypse is fulfilled, that no man shall be hardy enough to buy or sell without the token of the cursed beast [Rev.xiii.17]; for now, no man shall do aught in the street without these false bulls of Antichrist; not taking reward [not taking regard] to the worship of Jesus Christ and of the Holy Ghost [[Matt. 12, John 17, Holy Spirit Truth]] in men's [[John 14, Eternal Living]] souls, but all to these dead bulls, bought and sold for money, as men buy or sell an ox or beast!" ----continue pg. 38 in the 17th chap...

The lead or bull is impressed on one side with the heads of St. Peter and St. Paul; on the other with the name of the Pope and the year of his pontificate. The writing is in the old, round Gothic letter; and the instrument has about it a cross with some text of Scripture, or religious motto. – Lunier. Encyc. The Golden bull, so called from its golden seal, is an edict or imperial constitution, made by the Emperor Charles V., containing the fundamental law of the German empire. Leaden bulls were sent by the Emperors of Constantinople to patriarchs and princes; and by the grandees of the Empire, of France, Sicily, &c., and by patriarchs and bishops.

He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. After his death, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution. Bacon has been called the father of empiricism.[4] His works established and popularised inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or simply the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today. Bacon was knighted in 1603, and created Baron Verulam in 1618 and Viscount St. Alban in 1621;[b] as he died without heirs, both peerages became extinct upon his death.

2. To receive form or shape. Metal will cast and mold. –John Woodward (1 May 1665 – 25 April 1728) was an English naturalist, antiquarian and geologist, and founder by bequest of the Woodwardian Professorship of Geology at Cambridge University. Though a leading supporter of the importance of observation and experiment in what we now call science, few of his theories have survived. At the age of sixteen he went to London, where he was initially apprenticed to a linen draper, but later studied medicine with Dr. Peter Barwick, physician to Charles II. As a leading physician who had never been to university, Woodward was a prominent figure on the "Modern" side in the Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns in early 18th century England, on the medical and other fronts. In 1692 he was appointed Gresham Professor of Physic. In 1693 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, in 1695 was made M.D. by Archbishop Tenison and also by Cambridge,[3] and in 1702 became a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. A celebrated shield, bought by John Conyers from a London ironmonger, was sold after his death by one of his daughters to Woodward.[5] Dr WOODWARD’S SHIELD, now in the British Museum, is today recognised as a classicising French Renaissance buckler of the mid-16th century, perhaps sold from the Royal Armouries of Charles II, but was thought by Woodward and others to be an original Roman work. Woodward published in 1713 a treatise on the shield, provoking a satire by Alexander Pope, written in the same year but not printed until 1733, on the "follies of antiquarianism".[6] Woodward is mentioned twice in Pope's Fourth Satire of Dr. John Donne, and is one candidate for the original of "Mummius" in Pope's The Dunciad.

3. To warp; to twist from regular shape. Stuff is said to cast or warp, when it alters its flatness or straightness. – Moxon. Note. Cast, like throw and warp, implies a winding motion.

In Dan. et blind kast, is a guess, and to cast is the radical sense of guess. In Norman, gistes signifies cast up, and this seems to be the participle of gesir, to lie down; to lie down may be to throw one's self down. This verb coincides in sense with the W. cothi, to throw off. See Castle.]
