Again, the Church of Rome, maketh Mary the Mother of Jesus to be as God. In the Breviary reformed & published at the commandment of Pius, ashe is called A Goddess, in express words: and she is further termed the Queen of heaven, the Queen of the world, the gate of heaven, the mother of grace and mercy: Yea she is far exalted above Christ, and he in regard of her is made but a poor underling in heaven: for Papists in their service unto her they pray on this manner saying: Show thy self to be a mother: and cause thy son to receive our prayers: set free the captives and give light to the blind. bLastly the very Cross is made as a God. For they salute it, by the name of their only hope, and pray it to increase justice to the godly, and to give sinners pardon. Wherefore ⟨p. 217⟩the Church of Rome beside the one true God distinguished into three persons, the father, the son, the holy Ghost, maketh also many other, and so in truth hath repealed this first commandment.
