c It hath heretofore been said, That the Apostles appointed the Lords prayer, which they call Dominical, to be recited in the supper. And we again ⟨p. 218⟩read, that this was ordained by Gregory the first, and that he added this little preface, which the Priest reciteth before it. Whereupon, there were some that noted him of folly,1 & reprehended him for it. And therefore he was enforced to purge & defend him self of it, as in his register we read: where he, amongest other his reasons allegeth: That it was not likely, that the prayers which the schoolmen collected, and put into the Canon, were to be recited, and therefore much less the Lords prayer. And because there were certain Priests in Spain, which said it not, It was ordained in the fourth Council of Tolete, celebrated about the time of Honourius the first, that what soever Priest, or Clarke, that said it not aswell in the public office, as in the particular, should be deposed from his dignity and office. It is wonder to see how shamefast our young masters are here. For they speak as if they durst not say this prayer, except they were commanded & taught to do it out of the doctrine of Jesus Christ: without which, in truth they ought not do. For they ought not take in hand any divine service, without his ordinance. But why were they not so ashamed, in all the rest of their dealings? And wherefore were they so bold, rash, & arrogant, to thrust in such a number of their doting inventions, dreams, and blasphemies, into the pure & holy ordinance of Jesus, the son of god? Moreover, we might show how well this prayer agreeth with their own doctrine, if we had not set the same forth at large in those our dialogues, wherein we have made an exposition ⟨p. 219⟩of the same: howbeit we will here touch only one point, that greatliest appertaineth to this matter: and that is this, that when our Lord Jesus Christ teacheth us to seek after god our father in heaven, he admonisheth us, that he will be served with a spiritual service, & which alone he accepteth of, as our Lord Jesus Christ him self teacheth us, in the talk which he had with the woman of Samaria,2 about this matter. Now, we must not worship & honour the son, otherwise than we would honour the father, because there is always but one & the self same essential & substantial God.
