What a toy was it that S. Martins boy should procure a Church to be built in the place where his Master stood when he cured a lame Priest? A strayed Bull, got a Church to be erected for S. Michael the Archangell in mount Garganus. And S. Denis tels Charles the Great, that the sinnes of all the Spaniards were forgiven at his request, who had beene contributers to the building of a Church for his Saintship. Vpon any dreame, or conceit, or vow, or report of a relique, or any other mistaken accident, vp must straight-way a Church. And Popes to foster the humour, for their owne gaine and glory, and maintenance of their dependants, must sometimes priviledge them with many yeares indulgences, to get custome to their trade; and for the robbing (as they were wont to say) of the Egyptians; to the deluding of simple people, and scandall of Christian religion. This made way for superstitious processions, idle Pilgrimages, sottish vowes and oblations; whereby the Priests grew fat as the Buls of Basan, but the people leane as Pharaohs kine. Golden Chalices had wooden Masse-mongers; empty skonces, precious Miters. There were divers S. Maries for one Christ-Church. And no marvaile; |
