THE DOCTRINE of the Mass book, concerning the making of holy Water, Salt, Bread, Candles, Ashes, Fire, Incense, Pascal, Pascal Lamb, Eggs, and Herbs, the Marrying king, the Pilgrims Wallet, staff. & Cross, truly translated into english. Anno. Domi, M. D. liv. the xx. of May.  
¶ From Wyttonburge by Nicholas Dorcastor.  
Lord increase our faith.   

To the Christian Reader.  
HEre hast thou (gentle Reader) the making of holy water, and such other of their superstitious trumpery, faithfully translated into thy mother tongue, whereby thou mayest see, what a derogation it is against our only Saviour jesus Christ. They have, & do yet make me believe, that they do it in remembrance of the shedding of Christ's blood, but when they make it upon Sundays, than they can say, they make it to drive Devils away. If this be not blasphemy against Christ, & his precious blood, I know not what is blasphemy. They say to Salt, I 〈◊〉 the, thou creature of Salt. etc. that all such as receive thee, thou may est be to them health both of soul and body. Came Christ into this world, and took out nature upon him for any other purpose, but to heal both our bodies & souls: Ye a, hath he not done it in ●ede. If the scripture be true (as it is most true) what riede hath our shamen nation to desire God that Salt may be health both of soul and body, when Christ hath done it already, for all such as believe in him: Have we need of an other Saviour: Hath not God the father given us him to be our sufficien●ic, to be our atonement maker, ours buckler, our shield, our strong fortress and helper in all needs▪ Doth he not make daily intercession for us unto God his father: Yea, hath not he declared unto us, that whatsoever we ask the Father in his name, he will give it us, meaning for our help and comfort, in all our troubles and necessities: There is no name under heaven wherein we must be saued, but onli by the name of jesus. It is no marvel (christian Reader) that they be so loath that their service should be in English, for whose heart would not melt (if he had any spark of knowledge in gods truth) to hear such charming against God and his truth. For god hath commanded, whatsoever he biddeth us do, that observe and do, and not out own imaginations, contrary to his word. But O you Priests that be learned, with what conscience can ye say these shameful blasphemies every sunday? Do ye believe that that ye say is true? then have you no part in Christ. For if ye may make at your pleasure such chinges to drive devils away, & to heal both body and soul, what need have ye of Christ, of his death, of his resurrection, in which consist our whole salvation.  
And you that are unlearned priests, that understand not what ye read, when ye make your holy water, this is partly set furth for you, that ye should take heed what ye do, for ignorance shall not excuse you, nor yet your Ordinaries commandment, which ye●●ane so much to. You have been taught God's truth, ye have consented unto it, ye need say for fear (for thanks be to God) in the time of the gospel, ye were handled gently, almeane● possible sought to bring you to the truth. You were not turmoiled and persecuted, as now the most part of you, seek all means possible ●o hurt your poor brethren, that do but once look a wry upon your Teremonies, If he speak one word of the Scripture to you, Lord what rage at ye in? how swell ye then? then out goth your two arguments Fire & halter, strait to chapter corte with him, & how poor men are shamfulli handled there, it shallbe in another book (god willing) openly showed. In Christ's Church, there was no tyranny used, as is now in England among the stout sturdy bishops, & charming priests. There is no stone but is removed of them to set up themselves again▪ But they daub in vain. When God shall pour● down his showers of rain upon their daubed walls, it will fall spite of them all. Yet on the other side, I am not ignorant, but that a great sort of pristes that be simple men for whose cause (I say) thy● is partly set forth, forasmuch as they cannot understand it in Latin, that when they read it in English, they may be a frayed of God's vengeance to do that his holy word doth not warrant. For without dought, God hath blessed all his creatures, and possible it is not to make them better than he hath made them. He hath made them to serve us, for our necessaries, and we ought to give him all the thanks for them, and not to make Gods of them For God saith, I will give my glory to none other. Therefore let us leave the abusing of God's good creatures, and use them to his honour & glory. In all our trouble's and necessities let us call upon God the Father, that is able and will help, even for jesus Christ's sake, who ever keep the and all those that love the Lord unfainedli, and those that be ignorant to bring them to his truth, that as me have one shepherd: so we may be one flock to his praise and honour. Amen.

¶ Every sunday throughout the year, let there be a benediction of Salt and Water after the first Chapter, made by the Priest at the step of the Chancel, after this manner.  I Conjure thee, thou creature of Salt by the ✚ living god: by the ✚ true God: by the ✚ holy God: even by the God that through that Prophet Elizeus commanded the to be cast in the water, that the baroness of the Water might be healed: To the intent that thou mayest be made a conjured Salt to the salvation of them that believe: and that unto all such as receive thee, thou mayest be health of

LEt thy blessing (O Lord) come down upon this kind of incense and presume, like as in it whereof David thy prophet hath song (saying: Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight) Let it be unto the savour of consolation, sweetness and grace, that thorough this smoke every fantasy of the enemy of mind and of body, may be driven away, that we after the voice of the Apostle Paul may be a good odour unto God. Le● every assault of devils fly away from the preséce of this incense or perfume as the dust from before the wind, & smoke from the face of the fire. And grant O most gracious father this incense of good odour, to the work of thy church because of Religion continually to remain, that by the mystical signification, the pleasant savour▪ may declare unto us the sweetness of spiritual virtues. We beseech the therefore O almighty god, vouchsafe with thy right hand of thy infinite majesty to ✚ bless this creature, made together of the commirtion of divers things. that wheresoever the perfume of the spices thereof shall breath, it may be able wonderfully in the virtue of thy holy name, to drive away all fantastical assaults of unclean spirits, and (health being restored) to expel all diseses, and in most pleasant odour to smell unto the with perpetual sweetness.
