This charme following is taken out of the Primer aforesaid. _Omnipotens ✠ Dominus ✠ Christus ✠ Messias ✠_ with 34. names more, & as many crosses, & then proceeds in this wise; _Ista nomina me protegant ab omni adversitate, plaga, & infirmitate corporis & animæ, plenè liberent, & assistent in auxilium ista nomina regum, Gasper, &c: & 12 apostoli (videlicet) Petrus, &c: & 4 evangelistæ (videlicet) Matthæus, &c: mihi assistent in omnibus necessitatibus meis, ac me defendant & liberent ab omnibus periculis & corporis & animæ, & omnibus malis præteritis, præsentibus, & futuris, &c._ The tenth Chapter. _How to make holie water, and the vertues therof. S. Rufins charme, of the wearing and bearing of the name of Jesus, that the sacrament of confession and the eucharist is of as much efficacie as other charmes, & magnified by L. Vairus._ If I did well, I should shew you the confection of all their stuffe, and how they prepare it; but it would be too long. And therefore you shall onlie have in this place a few notes for the composition of certeine receipts, which in stead of an Apothecarie if you deliver to any morrowmasse preest, he will make them as well as the pope himselfe. Marie now they wax everie parlement deerer and deerer; although therewithall, they utter many stale drugs of their owne. If you looke in the popish pontificall, you shall see how they make their holie water; to wit, in this sort: I conjure thee thou creature of water, in the name of the father, and of the sonne, & of the Holie-ghost, that thou drive the divell out of everie corner and hole of this church, and altar; so as he remaine not within our precincts that are just and righteous. And water thus used (as _Durandus_ saith) hath power of his owne nature to drive away divels. If you will learne to make any more of this popish stuffe, you may go to the verie masse booke, and find manie good receipts: marrie if you search _Durandus_, &c; you shall find abundance. ♦_In ecclesiæ dedicatione._♦ ♦_In rationali divinorum officiorum._♦ I know that all these charmes, and all these palterie confections (though they were farre more impious and foolish) will be mainteined and defended by massemongers, even as the residue will be by witchmongers: and therefore I will in this place insert a charme, the authoritie wherof is equall with the rest, desiring to have their opinions herein. I find in a booke called _Pomœrium sermonum quadragesimalium_, that S. _Francis_ seeing _Rufinus_ provoked of the divell to thinke himselfe damned, charged Rufinus to saie this charme, when he next met with the divell; _Aperi os, & ibi imponam stircus_, which is as much to saie in English as, Open thy mouth and I will put in a plumme: a verie ruffinlie charme. ♦_Pom. sermon. 32._♦
