THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF QUEEN MARY. - 5 - VOLUME 9 240. The Abominable Blasphemy of the Mass. ORASMUCH as we are come now to the time of Queen Mary, when so many were put to death for the cause especially of the Mass, and The Sacrament of the Altar, (as they call it,) I thought it convenient, upon the occasion given, in the ingress of this foresaid story, first, to prefix before, by the way of preface, some declaration collected out of divers writers and authors, whereby to set forth to the reader the great absurdity, wicked abuse, and perilous idolatry, of the popish mass; declaring how, and by whom, it came in, and how it is clouted and patched up of divers additions: to the intent that the reader, seeing the vain institution thereof, and weighing the true causes why it is to be exploded out of all churches, may the better thereby judge of their death, which gave their lives for the testimony and the word of truth. in Hebrew, or תסם First concerning the origin of this word Missa, whether it came of non nee which signifieth "oblation;" or whether it came of sending away the catechumens, and persons unworthily out of place of ministration, (as certain writers suppose,) or else, "Of gifts and oblations, wont to be offered before the communion." Or whether Missa is derived of Remissa, which in the former writers was used Pro remissione, that is, forgiveness; or whether Missa is taken for sending away the congregation by the words of thedeacon, Ite missa est: or whether Missa hath its denomination of what the Grecians call αφεσις του λαου [Aphesis tou laou], "dismission of the people" (alluding to the story of the Hebrews, licensed of Pharaoh to depart out of captivity after the eating of the paschal lamb, as I read in an old popish book, entitled De Sacramentis Sacerdotalibus); or what term soever it be else, either Latin, Syrian, Dutch, or French, or howsoever else it taketh its appellation, as there is no certainty amongst themselves who most magnify the mass, so it is no matter to us that stand against it. To my judgment or conjecture, this latter exposition of the word seemeth more probable, both for that it is joined with the word ite, which signifieth "departing," and also the time and order in speaking the same agreeth well thereunto. For, as the old Hebrews, after the supper of the lamb, and not before, were set at liberty straightway to depart out of captivity, so, belike, to declare our mystical deliverance by Christ offered and slain for us, first goeth before the action of the holy supper: that done, then the priest or deacon saith Ite missa est, meaning, thereby, the deliverance and liberty which is spiritually wrought in us, after that the body of Christ hath been offered for us. Or else, if Missa otherwise should signify the celebration or the action of the supper, it would not be said Ite, but Venite missa est, &c. Moreover, besides other arguments, there be certain places in Cassianus which seem to declare that Missa signifieth the dismission of the congregation: as where he writeth of him which cometh not in time to the hours of prayer, saying it not to be lawful for him to enter into the oratory, that he ought, standing without the doors, to wait for the miss of the congregation. And again in the next chapter following, he inferreth the same vocable Missa, in like sense: "contented with so much sleep as served, us for the miss, or breaking up of the night vigil, -6- FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS unto the coming of the day," &c. But, to let pass these conjectures, this by the way I give the reader to note and understand: that as this word Missa never yet entered into the church nor usage among the Greeks, so it is to be observed among our Latin interpreters, (such as have translated of old time the ancient Greek authors,) as Eusebius, and the Tripartite History, (and others that were the Greek writers,) have these terms, "to call the congregation," "to convent assemblies," and "to frequent together;" the old translator of Epiphanius, and others, translate upon the same Missas facere, collectus agere, missas celebrare, &c. Whereby it is not obscure to be seen, that this word "mass," in the old time, was not only and peculiarly applied to the action of consecration, but as well as to all Christian assemblies collected, or congregations convented, according as in the Dutch language this name Masse signifieth any solemn frequency, or panagery, or gathering together of the people. But of the name enough and too much. To (express now) the absurdity of the said mass, and the irreligious application thereof, unseemly and perilous for Christians to use, I will bring two or three reasons of the worthy servant and martyr of God, John Bradford, to which many more may also be added out of others. First, the mass, saith he, is a most subtle and pernicious enemy against Christ; and that, double ways: namely, against his priesthood, and against his sacrifice. Which he proveth by this way: for the priesthood of Christ, saith he, is an everlasting priesthood, and such an one as cannot go to another; but the mass utterly putteth him out of place, as though he was dead for ever, and so God were a liar which said, that Christ should be "a Priest for ever;" which, briefly,

    ‘All wemen in thar degree shuld to thar men subiectit be’: The controversial court career of Elisabeth Parr, marchioness of Northampton, c. 1547-1565 Helen Joanne Graham-Matheson, BA, MA. Thesis submitted to UCL for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration I, Helen Joanne Graham-Matheson confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis reconstructs and analyses the life and agency of Elisabeth Parr, marchioness of Northampton (1526-1565), with the aim of increasing understanding of women’s networks of influence and political engagement at the mid-Tudor courts, c. 1547- 1565. Analysis of Elisabeth’s life highlights that in the absence of a Queen consort the noblewomen of the Edwardian court maintained and utilized access to those in power and those with political significance and authority. During the reign of Mary Tudor, Elisabeth worked with her natal family to undermine Mary’s Queenship and support Elizabeth Tudor, particularly by providing her with foreign intelligence. At the Elizabethan court Elisabeth regained her title (lost under Mary I) and occupied a position as one of the Queen’s most trusted confidantes and influential associates. Her agency merited attention from ambassadors and noblemen as well as from the Emperor Maximilian and King Erik of Sweden, due to the significant role she played in several major contemporary events, such as Elizabeth’s early marriage negotiations. This research is interdisciplinary, incorporating early modern social, political and cultural historiographies, gender studies, social anthropology, sociology and the study of early modern literature.

    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station Ecosystems General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 6 Fire and Nonnative Invasive Plants September 2008 Zouhar, Kristin; Smith, Jane Kapler; Sutherland, Steve; Brooks, Matthew L. 2008. Wildland fire in ecosystems: fire and nonnative invasive plants. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 6. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 355 p. Abstract—This state-of-knowledge review of information on relationships between wildland fire and nonnative invasive plants can assist fire managers and other land managers concerned with prevention, detection, and eradi- cation or control of nonnative invasive plants. The 16 chapters in this volume synthesize ecological and botanical principles regarding relationships between wildland fire and nonnative invasive plants, identify the nonnative invasive species currently of greatest concern in major bioregions of the United States, and describe emerging fire-invasive issues in each bioregion and throughout the nation. This volume can help increase understanding of plant invasions and fire and can be used in fire management and ecosystem-based management planning. The volume’s first part summarizes fundamental concepts regarding fire effects on invasions by nonnative plants, effects of plant invasions on fuels and fire regimes, and use of fire to control plant invasions. The second part identifies the nonnative invasive species of greatest concern and synthesizes information on the three topics covered in part one for nonnative inva- sives in seven major bioregions of the United States: Northeast, Southeast, Central, Interior West, Southwest Coastal, Northwest Coastal (including Alaska), and Hawaiian Islands.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

  • Under the Eye of Gorgo: Apotropaic Acts in Macbeth and King Lear
    22 Under the Eye of Gorgo: Apotropaic Acts in Macbeth and King Lear François-Xavier Gleyzon University of Liverpool f the theme of Medusa has not ceased—from Antiquity throughout the Renaissance to the present day—to inspire I and to act as a catalyst for a whole mass of studies in the domain of arts, literature and social sciences, it is astonishing to note that Medusa has been largely neglected in the realm of Shakespearean Studies. Indeed, in my investigating work for this paper, I found that there is only, to my knowledge, one study in which the theme of Medusa is directly treated and analysed in the context of a Shakespeare tragedy: “Macbeth, the Male Medusa,” by Marjorie Garber.1 Macbeth lends itself both relevantly and opportunely to a study relating to the myth of the Medusa when one recalls the words of Macduff, who on discovering the corpse of his king, Duncan, exclaims horrified, O horror, horror, horror! Tongue nor heart Cannot conceive nor name thee! Approach the chamber, and destroy your sight With a new Gorgon: do not bid me speak; See, and then speak yourselves. (2.3.71-73 [my emphasis]) If Garber offers a brilliant reading of the Medusa complex in Macbeth2—to which I shall return later to look at more closely so as to propose alternative and complementary points of analysis— this reading constitutes, as I have pointed out, a rarity, even an exception in Shakespeare annals. For, generally speaking, and (almost) with one voice, Shakespeare critics have tended to describe and research artistic and literary techniques in what I could call the forces of movement and/or the animated—i.e., allowing statues of stone to take on life/flesh—rather than the opposite—i.e.

Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • Holy Communion
    The Book of Common Prayer, as printed by John Baskerville This document is intended to exactly reproduce The 1662 Book of Common Prayer as printed by John Baskerville in 1762. This particular printing appears in David Griffiths' “Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer” as 1762/4; and is #19 in Phillip Gaskell's bibliography of Baskerville's works. The font used is John Baskerville, from Storm Foundries, which is very close to the original and includes all the characters used in this book.

  • THE REAL PRESENCE of CHRIST's BODY and BLOOD in the LORD's SUPPER: Contemporary Issues Concerning the Sacramental Union
    THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST'S BODY AND BLOOD IN THE LORD'S SUPPER: Contemporary Issues Concerning The Sacramental Union The great importance of the Lord's Supper is indicated by the fact that it is one of the few events of our Savior’s ministry which is recorded four times in the Holy Scriptures. Literally translated, these passages read: Matthew 26:26-28 jEsqiovntwn de; aujtw'n labw;n oJ jIhsou'" a[rton kai; eujloghvsa" e[klasen kai; dou;" toi'" maqhtai'" ei\pen: lavbete favgete, tou'to ejstin to; sw'ma mou. kai; labw;n pothvrion kai; eujcaristhvsa" e[dwken aujtoi'" levgwn: pivete ejx aujtou' pavnte", tou'to gavr ejstin to; ai|ma mou th'" diaqhvkh" to; peri; pollw'n 1 ejkcunnovmenon eij" a[fesin aJmartiw'n. While they were eating, Jesus, after he had taken bread and blessed [it], he broke [it] and, after he had given [it] to the disciples, he said, "Take, eat.

  • The Host in the Toad PDF
    Cor Hendriks The Host in the Toad The Development of a Fairytale Motif (V34.2) In Thompson’s Motif-Index of Folk-Literature we find under V34. Miraculous working of the host as subdivision V34.2. Princess sick because toad has swallowed her consecrated wafer. Thompson refers for this to Tale Type 613 and the study of this type by Christiansen. Other motifs he refers to are B177. Magic Toad; C55. Tabu: losing consecrated wafer; C940.1. Princess’s secret sickness from breaking tabu; D2064.1. Magic sickness because girl has thrown away her consecrated wafer. At this last motif Thompson remarks: H1292.4.1. Question (propounded on quest): How can the princess be cured? Answer: She must recover consecrated wafer which rat has stolen from her first communion. 1 This question of how the princess can be cured is treated by Christiansen in his study of AT 613 and he remarks that the list of the different remedies is long, and that it is difficult to settle a tradition. A certain feature though he finds in some of the variants, more fully worked out or simply suggested: it is the incident that the princess’s disease was due to a mishap at her first communion, where she lost the consecrated wafer. A toad took it, and is sitting under the floor with it in its mouth, and it has to be given back to the princess (also a rat is found). This episode can be seen in 4 Norse, 1 Swedish, 4 Danish, 2 Icelandic, 2 German, 1 Dutch, 2 Belgian, 2 Czech, 1 Hungarian, 1 Bask, 1 Rumanian, 1 Slovak, 4 Finnish, 2 Russian, 2 White- Russian; and 6 Polish versions.
