Pighius acknowledgeth herein to be a fault, that many Abuses ⟨p. 456⟩are brought in,1 even into the very Mass, which Mass otherwise he would have se••e to be a most reverend matter. Gerson saith, that through the number of most fond Ceremonies, all the Virtue of the Holy Ghost, which ought to have full operation in us, and all true godliness is utterly quenched, and dead. Whole Graecia, and Asia complain, how the Bishops of Rome with the marts of their Purgatories and Pardons, have both tormented mens Consciences, and piked their purses.
