selves of 1T. Uncumber. One hundred thou
sand pilgrims visited the tomb Of st. Thomas
a Beckett, at Canterbury, in one year, in or
der to help their souls toward heaven. In
one year, at Canterbury Cathedral, there was
offered at Christ's altar only gS, 2s. Cd;
whilst on the Virgin Mary's there was e6S,
IS. Cd; and one Thomas Becket's, 9ls2,
rs. Sd. The images worshipped were often
gross cheats as well as idols. AT Bexley, in
Kent. there was famous crucifix, on which
the figure Of our Lord would move its head,
hands, and feet, roll its eyes, move its lips,
and bend its brow. 1t would hang its lips
when silver was offered to it, and shake its
head merrily when the ufieEiug was gold.
And all tins was thdA Iculous. At
length it was discove ll2s the image
was full Of springs and wires, and that the
movements we're caused sby priests or their
agents secreted near it. The aeiics worship
ped were as monstraus and absurd as the
images. Al Haies, in Gloucestershire, there
was shown, ina crystal phial. what was call
ed the blood Of Christ. At Reading, there was
shown an angel with one wing, who brought
over the spear that pierced our Lords side.
At Bury, in Suffolk. the Goals that roasted
81. Lawrence, the parings Of st. Edmond's
tOe.nails, and st. Thomas a Becket's penknife
and boots were all reigiously adored. As TO
wood oil the true Cross, enough was found in
the churches, when relics were finally cast
out, to have made two or three crosses. AS
to the bones OF saints, there were whole heaps,
which had been yeneratcd for years which
proved, at length, TO be the bones Of pigs.
These are dreadful things to tell, but they
ought to be known. All these things the
Church Of Rome knew, connised at, sanction
ed, defended, taught, and enforced on her
members. This was the state of religion in
England three hundred and fifty years ago.
when the English Relormers were raised up.
This was English Christianity in the child
houd and youth Of Hugh Latimer.
