¶
The
Stage
of
Popish
toyes
.
THe
Locretians
had
a
speciall
law
,
worthie
to
be
noted
of
all
good
gouerned
common
wealthes
,
and
chiefely
of
vs
Englishmen
,
in
these
dangerous
times
,
if
euery
one
would
looke
into
his
dutie
as
he
ought
:
For
whosoeuer
presumed
to
call
in
question
,
any
thing
that
passed
,
by
the
decrée
of
those
,
who
were
authorized
by
the
Prince
,
to
deuise
,
publish
and
establish
good
lawes
among
them
,
should
be
fréely
heard
,
so
he
came
collered
with
a
halter
about
his
necke
,
to
the
end
,
that
deliuering
probable
argument
to
maintaine
his
presumption
,
confounding
(
in
reasonable
iudgement
)
the
same
he
argued
on
,
and
approuing
his
Councell
to
stand
more
with
a
common
wealth
:
he
was
vnarmed
of
his
Hempe
,
highly
commended
and
preferred
,
both
by
Prince
and
people
.
But
if
he
were
conuicted
in
his
arrogancie
,
and
found
more
busie
to
reproue
,
than
wise
to
maintaine
:
he
was
straight
trussed
vp
according
to
deserte
,
whiles
his
fault
and
follie
was
in
memorie
.
Socrates
gaue
lesse
libertie
to
his
Citizens
,
for
he
woulde
haue
no
lawe
disputed
of
openly
,
not
of
those
that
had
the
authoritie
to
reforme
them
:
much
lesse
that
any
other
(
eyther
publikely
or
priuately
)
shoulde
dare
maintaine
argument
of
them
:
For
he
considered
how
lawes
are
scanned
,
when
they
come
to
the
discussing
of
the
common
sort
.
If
Englande
(
whose
gouernment
by
Gods
great
blessing
,
executed
in
the
person
of
our
most
sacred
Soueraigne
)
had
the
lawes
of
Locretia
,
or
the
sharpe
preceptes
of
Socrates
,
our
Papistes
durst
not
(
for
the
rope
)
contende
so
openly
,
nor
for
feare
of
due
iustice
,
presume
so
boldly
(
of
their
errours
)
as
they
doe
.
But
such
hath
bin
hir
Maiesties
mercie
to
them
all
,
in
pardoning
,
prolonging
,
bearing
and
forbearing
,
hoping
that
God
woulde
conuert
them
,
or
dutie
reclaime
them
,
couering
with
equal
care
to
confirme
hir
louing
subiects
,
in
one
minde
,
in
one
obedience
,
and
in
one
profession
,
as
they
(
abusing
hir
gratious
clemencie
)
wax
more
indurate
,
and
wilfully
runne
into
all
the
ylles
that
may
be
:
If
they
would
desire
God
to
giue
them
the
true
knowledge
of
his
worde
,
and
stedfastly
perseuer
in
prayer
,
to
be
instructed
by
his
holy
spirit
:
no
doubt
but
his
diuine
Maiestie
would
so
open
the
eyes
of
their
reason
,
as
they
shoulde
sée
what
daunger
they
dwell
in
,
to
the
euerlasting
destruction
of
their
Soules
,
and
what
cunnyng
hath
kepte
them
in
their
errour
from
the
beginning
:
which
true
iudgement
can
no
waye
bee
attayned
vnto
,
vnlesse
wée
constantly
continue
in
prayer
,
till
we
perfectly
féele
and
iustly
finde
(
in
our selues
)
his
heauenly
blessing
confirmed
in
vs
.
Howe
manye
in
all
ages
(
euen
from
the
first
creation
of
man
)
haue
deliuered
(
in
the
testimonie
of
their
bloud
)
the
most
abhominable
abuses
of
that
Romishe
Antichrist
,
on
whome
you
so
much
depende
?
howe
manye
of
all
Nations
,
moste
excellent
and
learned
wryters
(
by
the
authoritie
of
the
sacred
Scriptures
)
haue
published
infinite
volumes
,
shewing
&
approuing
the
most
ioyfull
fruites
of
the
true
&
perfect
profession
of
Christ
crucifyed
,
and
howe
these
two
doe
differ
(
in
all
degrées
)
no
true
Christian
but
knoweth
,
so
farre
as
God
may
excell
man
,
is
not
to
be
doubted
:
But
so
farre
as
his
wickednesse
may
match
with
the
hatefull
sinne
of
Lucifer
,
to
the
malice
of
the
heauenly
Maiestie
,
this
proude
beast
presumeth
on
.
Haue
the
cloudes
of
errour
so
couered
you
as
you
cannot
sée
?
hath
the
mystes
of
ignoraunce
of
meshid
you
,
as
you
will
not
vnderstande
?
or
doeth
the
furie
of
Pharao
so
bewitch
you
as
you
are
become
desperate
?
wyl
not
Moyses
moue
you
,
wyll
not
Gods
worde
wynne
you
,
nor
his
threatnings
reclaime
you
,
excepte
you
haue
myracles
?
can
nothing
but
a
Pope
and
his
Pardons
please
you
:
your
Pilgrimage
to
Saintes
of
both
kyndes
content
you
,
and
a
muster
of
Masses
,
wyth
a
worlde
of
Monkes
make
you
to
séeme
Christians
?
Haue
not
wée
more
good
aduertisementes
,
more
manifest
signes
and
tokens
,
more
sharpe
rebukes
,
more
gentle
warnyngs
,
and
more
mylde
admonitions
than
our
elders
had
?
Is
not
vice
now
better
discouered
,
all
sortes
of
sinnes
reproued
,
and
more
liuely
(
to
the
quicke
)
both
by
worde
and
writing
touched
,
than
euer
it
was
?
yet
what
was
colde
in
them
,
is
frosen
in
you
:
where
they
innocently
halted
,
you
are
willingly
lame
:
where
they
were
(
by
ignoraunce
)
dimme
sighted
,
you
are
(
by
wilfulnesse
)
altogither
blinded
:
&
where
they
were
harde
of
hearing
,
hauing
no
remedie
,
you
are
starke
deffe
in
your
stubborne
obstinacie
.
How
hateful
and
dangerous
it
was
in
those
dayes
,
to
deliuer
the
truth
(
vnlesse
they
woulde
by
fire
alter
into
ayre
)
sundrie
that
suffered
their
tormentes
testifyed
.
But
you
that
haue
the
frée
scope
of
the
Gospell
to
entreate
on
,
whereby
you
are
taught
the
true
waye
to
our
onelye
Sauiour
,
whose
errours
may
bée
eased
,
whose
doubtes
maye
bee
cleared
,
and
(
frée
of
all
feare
)
may
séeke
,
aske
,
knocke
,
bée
resolued
and
receyued
,
doe
stubbornely
stande
on
your
owne
conceites
,
holding
dreames
for
deuotion
,
and
dwel
in
a
moste
hatefull
hope
of
alteration
.
By
Christ
you
are
called
,
by
the
Prince
commaunded
,
and
by
your
brethren
entreated
,
to
enter
into
a
safe
vnitie
among
them
:
the
Banket
is
prepared
,
gods
word
doth
inuite
you
,
&
(
bringing
your
wedding
garments
)
no
guests
more
welcome
:
let
no
shame
withholde
you
from
so
sacred
a
feast
,
grudge
not
to
go
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
will
guide
you
.
There
is
more
comfort
(
saith
Christ
)
in
one
sinner
truely
repenting
,
than
in
many
that
from
their
beginning
haue
continued
constant
.
If
to
yéeld
(
in
worldly
causes
)
be
wisedome
,
profit
,
and
policie
,
howe
much
more
will
it
benefite
the
health
of
our
Soules
,
to
returne
(
in
singlenesse
of
heart
)
to
his
heauenly
Maiestie
,
if
to
bende
,
bée
better
than
to
breake
,
let
●●
plye
and
applye
,
our
liuing
to
his
liking
,
that
hath
power
to
bruse
euerye
bone
,
and
to
consume
vs
as
chaffe
before
fire
:
let
not
our
old
Adam
(
whose
knobbed
and
knotted
braunches
,
will
rather
rende
than
cleaue
)
cause
the
whole
body
to
bee
caste
into
an
euerlasting
and
vnquenchable
flame
.
It
wil
then
bée
too
late
to
saye
with
Diues
,
send
to
my
brethren
that
they
maye
knowe
the
distresse
of
the
paine
and
tormentes
I
am
in
:
you
will
truely
bée
aunsweared
,
they
haue
the
Prophetes
and
Preachers
among
them
,
&c.
You
can
no
waye
excuse
your selues
by
ignoraunte
:
for
as
the
Sunne
(
excelling
all
other
lyghtes
)
doeth
shyne
both
on
good
and
bad
:
so
doeth
the
bright
beames
of
Gods
worde
(
farre
surpassing
the
Sunne
in
clearenesse
)
extende
an
equall
comforte
(
thoughe
the
vse
bée
not
equall
)
as
wel
vpon
the
sinner
,
as
the
iust
liuer
.
Yet
as
the
Ethyopians
doe
curse
the
Sunne
for
scortching
them
:
so
do
the
desperate
,
that
are
giuen
vp
to
their
owne
lust
,
hate
his
heauenly
word
for
rebuking
them
.
I
haue
hearde
sundrye
of
your
coate
saye
,
that
the
loose
lyuing
of
some
our
Prelates
and
Preachers
,
doeth
make
you
the
more
to
mislike
their
doctrine
:
deceiue
not
your
selues
,
it
wyll
passe
for
no
payment
:
They
lyue
as
fleshe

into
are
as
men
:
wee
muste
direct
our
lyues
to
their
sayings
,
and
not
to
their
doyngs
.
And
it
is
also
written
,
if

Heauen

and
denuer

reiect

More

,
from
the

(
founded
on
all

hipocrisie

their

confirmed
their
doctrine
to
their

with
such

so
hatefull
examples
,
as
I
sorrow
to
know
them
,
shame
to
think
of
them
,
&
am
much
more
hashfull
to
write
them
.
Yet
least
you
should
say
,
I
suppose
more
than
I
can
proue
:
I
will
(
in
pardon
of

deliuer
you

impute
it

to
the
imperfection

to
the
basenesse
of

:
whose

I
confesse
)
may
abhorre
any
Christian
to
read
it
,
yet
no
more
than
is
méete
to
be
known
.
And
therfore
first
I
addresse
me
to
theyr
superfluous
excesse
in

the
surse

sinke
of
all
sinne

if

ioyne

that
is

to
compare
the

you
shal
finde

vnder

they
were
as
curious

daintie

as
might

So

all

fed
on
the
Church
?
whose
order
of
liuing
(
besides
their
brutishe
behauiour
)
was
as
carelesse
of
religion
,
as
hogges
are
senselesse
of
reason

One
of
theyr
owne
profession
,
who
knewe
their
nature
by
a
true
measure
,
and
coulde
shape
a
Monke
by
the
shadowe
of
a
beaste
,
or
a
beast
by
the
substaunce
of
a
Monke
,
describeth
them
thus
:
he
must
be
nastie
,
a
glutton
,
slouthful
,
a
whoremonger
,
ill
giuen
,
a
foole
,
blockish
,
a
drunkard
,
and
ignoraunt
of
al
good
Artes
,
drinke
like
a
Pigge
,
and
féede
like
a
Hogge
:
So
that
,
if
he
can
a
little
sing
,
it
suffiseth
to
be
an
Abbot
.
Another
more
abruptly
,
though
as
aptly
,
making
a
similitude
of
a
thrée
footed
stoole
,
by
a
Frier
,
sayth
:
he
is
rounded
like
a
foole
,
clothed
in
graye
like
a
Woulfe
,
and
girded
with
a
corde
like
a
théefe
:
and
yet
is
no
foole
but
a
Frier
.
Our
simple
Priests
,
that
professed
not
so
strict
a
life
,
whose
profits
only
consisted
in
the
merits
of
the
Masse

had
special
care
(
how
good
soeuer

breade
were
)
to
drinke
stil
of
the
best
,
&
good
reason
they
had
,
to
dry
vppe
raw
humours
,
lest
in
celebrating
theyr
Masse
,
some
rumaticke
matter
mighte
drop
from

drowsie
braynes
:
as

And

to
the
opinion

Poets

Therefore
he
that
should
play
so

you

desire

for
the
which
,
they
spared
no
degrée
,
nor
respected
any
person
,
but
Epicure
like
,
liued
only
to
eate
.
Which
truely
was
the
chiefest
cause
,
why
they
entertayned
the
World
in
so
great
abuse
,
and
yet
doe
,
where
their
authoritie
&
antient
credite
hath

for
all
their

Studie
from

,

:
To

Turpe
lucrum
that
which

to

wroughte

readiest

And
all
that
hath

may

contrarie

is

winde
and

lost
,
for
that
it
is
spoken
to

which

no

kepte
this

of

And
truelye
,
notwithstanding
they
carryed
the
onely
countenaunce
of
the
world
,
yet
were
they
mocked
of
sundry
,
but
their
faces
were
so
brasen
as
they
forced
not
of
it
.
As
a
Monke
of

replyed
to

scorned

where
if
he
had
sayd
,
by
abusing
the
name

he
had
spoken
the
truth

For
it
is
incredible
to
consider
what

those
of

did
wallow
in
:

a

For
(
saith
he
)
this
Riarus
was
not

content
to
weare
cloth
of
gold
in
his
house
,
but
his
hangings

couerleds
were
likewise
of

of

also
made

that

with

,
as

All
which

was
nothing
to

aswell
as

here
in
Fraunce
,
In
pardon
of
your
Maiestie
(
replyed
Godon
)
it
may
so
be
,
and
I
beléeue
some
young
Diuell
(
not
skilfull
of
his
crafte
)
woulde
flye
the
holy
Water
:
but
such
a
Diuell
,
as
had
at
any
time
bene
a
Godon
,
all
the
holy
Water
in
the
worlde
,
coulde
not
feare
him
,
wherein
he
pleasantly
touched
the
superstition
of
it
.
A
register
in
Paris
named
Lory
hearing
a
Cardinall
bemone
I
haue
one
pleasant
proofe
more
of
the
ignorance
of
your
lacke
Rome
,
for
a
licence
to
haue
two
Benefices
,
who
desired
his
Bishop
to
write
to
the
Pope
in
his
commendation
,
imagining
vpon
his
comming
what
his
holynesse
would
say
to
him
:
and
as
he
vnderstoode
by
others
(
of
his
owne
marke
)
that
had
bin
there
for
the
like
purpose
,
he
learned
thrée
Latine
wordes
,
sufficient
as
he
supposed
to
serue
his
turne
,
which
for
that
it
hath
the
best
grace
in
Latine
,
I
am
enforced
so
to
deliuer
it
:
for
after
he
had
saluted
the
Pope
,
&
saide
,
Salue
sancte
Pater
,
the
Pope
woulde
aske
,
Vnde
venisti
,
then
he
should
answere
è
Normandia
:
next
his
holinesse
would
demaunde
,
Vbi
sunt
litterae
tuae
,
he
shoulde
say
In
manica
mea
,
and
so
take
his
letters
out
of
his
sléeue
and
deliuer
them
,
for
Priests
in
those
dayes
commonly
carried
al
their
trashe
in
their
sléeues
.
This
gallant
glorying
in
his
learning
,
&
triumphing
of
his
Latine
,
mumbled
so
much
of
it
,
as
he
did
forget
the
first
part
,
which
put
him
into
such
dispaire
,
as
he
ment
to
returne
,
yet
hoping
that
the
image
of
our
Ladie
(
whose
chaplaine
he
was
vowed
)
would
do
him
some
good
,
he
went
into
a
Chappell
to
performe
his
deuotion
,
where
by
the
appointment
of
our
Ladie
(
as
he
after
reported
)
the
Priest
in
his
Masse
recited
,
Salue
sancte
parens
,
which
was
to
our
Norman
the
greatest
ioy
that
might
be
.
For
when
he
came
to
the
Popes
presence
,
he
saide
Salue
sancte
parens
,
the
Pope
amazed
at
this
new
salutation
,
answered
,
Non
sum
mulier
:
the
Priest
(
dwelling
vpon
his
instructions
)
followed
with
his
lesson
è
Normandia
,
the
Pope
thus
crossed
,
said
,
Diabolum
habes
,
the
poore
Priest
replyed
,
In
manica
mea
,
supposing
he
had
said
well
.
If
men
could
be
more
ignorant
than
these
Massing
maies
were
,
let
the
wise
iudge
:
and
no
maruel
,
for
their
onely
studie
consisted
in
a
speciall
care
howe
to
liue
easilye
and
dai●tily
.
Was
it
not
ridiculous
to
sée
those
,
that
séemed
most
prosounde
and
wisest
,
to
vse
in
their
Sermons
so
great
absurdities
.
●or
one
alledging
the
authoritie
of
Seripture
,
to
confirme
the
credite
of
the
Masse
,
enterpreted
,
Inuenimus
Messiam
,
We
haue
founde
the
Masse
.
An
other
to
proue
their
crossing
by
Scripture
,
Signa
autem
eis
qui
crediderunt
,
Make
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
on
those
that
haue
beleeued
.
Among
which
braue
interpretations
,
is
to
be
remembred
a
Curate
in
the
Countrey
of
Artoys
,
that
had
a
processe
against
his
parishioners
for
pauing
of
the
Church
,
who
alledged
this
text
of
Scripture
for
his
purpose
:
Paueant
illi
&
non
paueam
ego
:
Ieremie
the
17.
Chap.
whereby
he
affirmed
that
S.
Hierom
said
,
that
they
shoulde
paue
the
Church
and
not
he
.
Also
what
way
their
glose
had
gotten
,
vpon
this
place
of
Scripture
,
Confitemini
alter
vtrum
,
Confesle
your selues
to
the
Priest
,
all
the
world
doth
knowe
.
Truely
in
this
abuse
consisted
their
greatest
glorie
,
for
althoughe
their
shamelesse
liues
(
séene
to
the
open
viewe
of
the
wise
)
were
sufficient
to
reproue
them
and
confound
them
,
yet
in
this
priuate
confession
,
they
practized
more
villanie
,
than
any
honest
Christian
can
endure
to
heare
or
reade
:
which
shall
be
hereafter
partly
touched
in
his
place
.
Yet
to
shewe
you
in
some
sort
,
their
absurditie
and
vaine
glorie
,
I
will
deliuer
you
two
examples
short
and
pleasaunt
.
A
certaine
Mason
comming
to
be
shriuen
by
his
Curate
,
Auaritious
,
who
answered
no
:
art
thou
(
quoth
he
)
Luxurious
,
he
answered
no
:
art
thou
not
Superbous
he
answered
no
:
Art
thou
not
Inuidus
or
Irous
?
The
poore
man
(
ignorant
of
these
termes
)
still
answered
no
:
the
Priest
in
a
rage
saide
,
what
art
thou
then
?
a
simple
Mason
sir
(
quoth
he
)
as
you
may
sée
by
my
Trowell
.
A
poore
shepheard
being
likewise
asked
by
his
ghostly
father
,
whether
he
had
kept
the
commandements
of
God
,
answered
Mitto
tibi
duodecem
molossos
twelue
degges
:
which
Prat
his
Chauncellor
and
a
great
Sorbonist
Doctor
tooke
to
be
Duodecem
muletos
twelue
moyles
:
and
therefore
desired
his
Maiestie
to
giue
him
him
the
twelue
Moyles
that
King
Henrie
had
sent
.
It
is
straunge
sayde
his
maister
,
that
Moyles
shoulde
be
sent
me
out
of
Englande
,
and
therefore
willed
to
sée
the
letters
:
where
the
king
founde
the
errour
,
and
Prat
perceiuing
it
,
said
he
mistooke
Molossos
for
Mulettos
.
And
séeing
I
haue
occasion
to
call
this
Prat
into
the
play
,
the
more
to
manifest
vnto
you
his
couetous
life
matched
with
tyrannie
,
&
his
miserable
death
ioyned
with
blasphemie
,
being
of
the
Church
of
Rome
a
professor
,
and
of
the
poore
members
of
Christ
a
cruell
persecuter
:
I
will
deliuer
you
the
same
which
is
written
of
him
,
simply
as
I
finde
it
.
This
Prat
after
he
had
bailded
a
faire
Hospitall
(
which

the
king
séeing
saide
it
was
not
large
yn●ugh
,
to
lodge
all
those
that
Prat
had
made
poore
)
fell
sicke
of
such
a
horrible
disease
,
as
the
wormes
did
guawe
and
pearce
throughe
his
stomacke
,
not
without
cursing
&
despiting
of
God
,
both
for
payne
and
extreme
impatience
:
occasioned
aswell
by
the
griefe
he
felte
,
as
of
the
hatred
he
had
,
to
sée
all
his
Cofers
sealed
vp
:
that
he
sayde
,
thus
it
is
to
serue
the
King
both
with
bodye
and
soule
.
This
Prat
was
the
first
in

,
that
brought

presented
to

he

to
execute
those

against

whose
blaspheming
death
confirmed
the
crueltie
of

,
for

did
at

error
,
if

néede
not

that
it
will

is
so

and
therefore
to
confirme

prouerbes
,

I
wil
shewe
you
some
examples
,
what
fruites
followed
the
hatefull
excesse
of
the
Crucifix

,
who
sed
onely
on
their
holy
mother
Church
.
A
certaine
Gentleman
of
Perigourd
in
Fraunce
,
held
in
his
house
a
Frier
,
his
confessor
,
whom
he
fauoured
for
his
councel
,
Apo.
Ste.
Fol.
303.
and
reuerenced
for
his
profession
.
This
Gentleman
(
whose
wife
had
lien
in
childe
bed
the
space
of
thrée
wéekes
)
determined
one
night
to
haue
hir
company
,
which
our
Frier
perceiuing
,
so
vsed
the
matter
,
as
he
preuented
his
maister
,
enioyed
his
place
,
&
(
kéeping
himself
silent
)
●unningly
(
vnknowen
)
departed
from
hir
,
which
done
,
he
hasted
to
his
house
,
called
the
porter
,
&
fled
the
punishment
of
his
fault
.
The
husband
comming
to
his
wife
(
as
he
had
pointed
)
&
she
simply
supposing
he
had
bin
with
hir
before
,
deliuered
such
spéeches
vnto
him
,
as
he
perceiued
the
treason
committed
against
them
both
.
Then
considering
how
none
laye
in
the
quarter
of
house
,
except
hir
brother
&
his
confessor
,
entred
into
suspition
of
him
,
&
went
straight
to
his
Chamber
,
where
he
found
him
not
,
which
greatly
increased
his
ielousie
:
but
when
he
had
spoken
with
his
porter
,
he
was
assured
of
the
villanie
,
&
returning
to
his
wife
,
manifested
the
circumstance
of
the
mischiefe
vnto
hir
,
wherat
the
poore
Gentlewoman
was
so
abashed
,
&
grieued
,
the
it
brought
hir
into
extreme
dispaire
,
as
being
left
alone
(
hir
husband
gone
after
the
Frier
)
hir
innocent
heart
yéelded
to
hir
féeble
hand
,
&
strangled
hir self
,
who
wrestling
with
the
agonie
of
this
cruel
death
,
did
(
with
hir
foote
)
kill
hir
little
infant
that
lay
by
hir
:
and
giuing
a
great
crie
(
at
hir
last
gasp
)
wakened
hir
maide
that
foundly
slept
in
the
same
Chamber
:
when
she
sawe
this
pitifull
spectacle
(
past
all
remedie
)
she
called
hir
Maistresse
brother
,
who
beholdyng
the
lamentable
condition
of
hys
sister
and
hir
child
,
demaunded
of
the
maide
who
it
was
had
committed
this
cruell
Acte
:
she
answeared
she
coulde
not
tell
,
vnlesse
it
were
hir
maister
,
for
she
certainly
knew
none
but
he
had
bene
there
.
This
Gentleman
,
sought
his
brother
in
his
owne
chamber
,
and
finding
him
gone
,
he
exclaimed
against
him
for
the
murder
,
and
with
reuenging
minde
he
tooke
his
horse
to
followe
him
,
supposing
he
had
bin
fled
for
the
horriblenesse
of
the
fact
:
whom
when
he
heard
returning
(
for
the
darkenesse
of
the
nighte
had
taken
from
him
the
author
of
all
his
woe
)
he
violently
flew
vpon
him
(
with
wordes
of
reproch
,
calling
him
most
wicked
wretch
&
tirannous
traitor
)
ran
him
through
with
his
rapier
.
The
gentleman
hauing
no
leasure
to
enquire
the
occasion
of
so
sodaine
assault
,
being
wounded
to
death
,
yéelded
vnto
him
.
But
when
he
vnderstoode
the
villanie
,
with
his
brothers
innocencie
,
he
ouer
late
craued
pardon
for
the
harme
he
had
done
him
,
remount●d
him
aswell
as
he
might
,
and
brought
him
home
to
his
house
,
where
the
next
day
following
he
likewise
dyed
.
By
this
tragedie
we
sée
,
how
the
leud
lust
of
a
Frier
was
the
occasion
of
the
murdering
of
thrée
innocent
persons
.
In
the
time
of
the
Emperour
Maximilian
the
first
,
there
was
in
his
countrey
a
Couent
of
Friers
,
highly
renowned
Apo.
Ste.
Fol.
337.
for
the
opinion
that
euery
one
had
in
their
holy
profession
.
Néere
vnto
which
Abbey
there
dwelled
a
Gentleman
of
great
worship
and
credite
,
who
fauoured
these
Friers
,
wi●h
a
seruent
zeale
of
deuotion
,
and
was
a
speciall
benefactor
vnto
them
Among
which
companie
,
he
chose
to
himselfe
a
confessor
,
to
whom
he
gaue
full
power
and
authoritie
ouer
his
house
and
housholde
.
This
lecherous
lubber
became
so
enamored
on
the
Gentlewoman
,
as
(
resolued
to
put
his
lust
in
execution
,
)
comming
to
hir
house
,
and
finding
not
hir
husbande
at
home
,
he
demaunded
of
hir
whether
hir
husbande
was
gone
,
shée
answeared
,
to
a
Farme
that
hée
had
,
where
he
ment
to
make
his
abode
for
thrée
or
foure
dayes
,
but
if
hée
had
anye
speciall
matter
to
doe
wyth
hym
,
shée
woulde
presently
sende
a
Messenger
for
hym
:
wherevpon
he
taking
occasion
to
performe
his
damnable
pretence
,
walked
vp
and
downe
about
the
house
,
as
one
the
had
some
matter
of
importance
,
or
some
greate
mischiefe
hammering
in
his
head
.
The
gentlewoman
perceyuing
it
(
for
that
his
countenance
argued
,
he
was
not
content
)
she
sent
one
of
hir
maydes
to
know
,
if
any
of
hyr
house
had
offended
him
,
or
that
he
lacked
his
desire
in
any
thing
.
This
mayde
doyng
hir
mistresse
message
,
the
Fatherly
Frier
,
or
rather
Hellish
fiende
,
toke
hir
(
in
signe
of
curtesie
)
by
the
hande
,
and
leading
hir
aside
into
a
corner
of
the
Court
,
he
cut
hir
throate
.
In
the
meane
while
there
arriued
a
Tenaunt
of
the
gentlemans
that
brought
him
rent
,
who
humbly
saluted
the
Frier
,
&
he
embrasing
him
(
with
the
same
knife
he
had
murdered
the
mayde
,
which
was
skant
cold
of
hir
bloude
)
he
likewise
cut
his
throate
,
and
after
closed
the
Castel
gate
vnto
him
.
The
gentlewoman
musing
that
hir
chamber
mayde
returned
not
,
sent
hir
companion
to
cal
hir
,
and
to
know
the
cause
of
hir
stay
,
which
the
Frier
(
in
sort
as
afore
)
toke
hir
by
the
hande
,
and
with
the
same
bloudie
stratageme
,
sent
hir
after
hir
play-fellow
.
Then
when
he
saw
himselfe
alone
in
the
house
,
he
came
to
the
gentlewoman
,
and
deliuered
hir
the
effect
of
his
diuellish
desire
:
shewing
how
long
he
had
earnestly
loued
hir
,
&
that
now
the
houre
was
come
,
that
she
muste
néedes
yéelde
vnto
his
will
.
She
that
neuer
had
any
euil
opinion
in
him
,
and
least
loked
for
any
such
salutation
,
answered
,
my
good
Father
,
I
beléeue
if
you
knew
me
to
be
so
euil
disposed
,
or
that
you
thought
I
had
so
bad
a
conceite
in
me
,
you
would
be
the
first
that
would
either
reclaime
me
,
or
discouer
my
shame
for
it
.
The
Frier
(
to
cut
of
al
circumstaunces
,
and
to
preuent
that
might
follow
)
flatly
perswaded
hir
,
there
was
no
remedie
:
willyng
hir
to
go
into
the
Court
,
where
she
shoulde
sée
the
sum
of
hys
pretence
.
When
the
gentlewoman
beheld
hir
two
maids
and
hir
tenaunt
lying
in
that
pitiful
case
,
she
was
so
astonyed
and
ouerset
with
feare
,
as
she
remayned
spéechlesse
.
This
villaine
(
who
made
no
account
to
enioy
hir
companie
for
one
time
,
but
to
haue
the
abuse
of
hir
body
for
euer
)
woulde
not
force
hir
,
and
therfore
sayde
:
Mistresse
be
ruled
by
me
,
and
doubt
of
no
daunger
,
for
you
are
in
the
handes
of
him
,
that
loues
you
aboue
al
the
men
in
the
world
:
and
so
taking
forth
the
gowne
of
a
Nouice
(
which
he
had
brought
with
him
for
the
same
purpose
vnder
his
long
robe
)
he
willed
hir
to
put
it
on
,
otherwise
she
shold
passe
the
same
paine
those
had
done
,
which
lay
before
hir
eyes
.
The
gentlewoman
séeing
hir
owne
peril
(
as
well
to
saue
hir
life
,
as
to
gaine
time
,
in
hope
that
hir
husbande
woulde
come
to
hyr
rescue
)
she
fayned
willingly
to
obey
him
:
and
at
the
commaundement
of
the
Frier
,
vntyred
hir
heade
,
wherein
she
vsed
as
much
delay
as
she
might
.
But
in
the
end
,
when
she
was
in
hir
haire
,
the
Frier
(
not
regarding
the
beauty
of
it
)
did
hastily
cut
it
off
,
and
further
caused
hir
to
strip
hir selfe
to
hir
smocke
,
and
to
put
on
the
little
frock
he
brought
with
him
:
whych
done
he
made
al
the
haste
away
that
he
could
,
carrying
wyth
hym
his
heauye
and
sorrowfull
Nouice
,
whose
companye
he
had
(
in
beastlye
lust
)
so
long
desired
.
But
it
pleased
God
,
that
hyr
husbande
,
(
who
had
dispatched
hys
businesse
sooner
than
he
supposed
he
shoulde
before
his
going
)
returned
home
by
the
same
waye
,
that
hys
distress●d
wife
and
thys
murder●us
mate
was
comming
.
When
the
Frier
perceyued
him
a
far
off
,
he
sayde
to
hir
:
beholde
where
commeth
youre
husbande
,
who
I
know
,
if
you
make
any
countenaunce
to
discouer
your self
,
hée
wil
take
you
from
me
:
Therfore
go
you
before
me
,
and
sée
that
you
turne
your
face
on
the
contrarye
side
,
that
he
perceiue
you
no●
:
for
if
you
make
anye
signe
or
gesture
vnto
hym
,
I
will
sooner
cutte
your
throate
,
than
he
shall
be
able
to
frée
you
out
of
my
handes
.
In
whiche
discourse
,
the
Gentleman
approched
,
who
,
after
he
had
saluted
him
,
asked
him
from
whence
he
came
:
to
whome
he
boldly
and
shameleslye
aunsweared
,
from
your
house
sir
,
where
my
Mistresse
youre
wise
is
verye
well
,
and
doeth
earnestlye
looke
for
you
.
The
gentleman
rode
on
,
not
perceyuing
anye
thing
:
but
hys
seruaunte
,
who
was
accustomed
to
entertayne
thys
Fryers
companion
(
named
Frater
Iohn
)
supposing
it
hadde
bene
hée
,
called
vnto
him
.
The
poore
gentlewoman
,
perplexed
in
all
the
passions
of
minde
that
might
bée
,
durste
not
turne
hir
heade
towardes
hym
,
nor
aunswere
anye
one
word
:
notwythstanding
,
the
fellowe
to
sée
hys
vizage
,
crossed
the
waye
of
hyr
,
to
whome
(
so
farre
as
shée
durste
)
she
made
a
sorrowfull
signe
,
wyth
hyr
trembling
eyes
,
that
were
ful
of
teares
:
The
seruaunte
supposing
some
mysterie
in
it
,
and
gessing
at
a
glaunce
who
it
shoulde
bée
,
he
hasted
after
hys
Mayster
,
and
tolde
hym
,
that
the
Fryers
companion
was
not
Frater
Iohn
,
but
séemed
to
bée
hys
Mistresse
,
who
hée
affirmed
(
wyth
a
face
all
couered
wyth
teares
)
shée
dyd
caste
a
pitifull
regarde
towardes
him
.
The
Gentlemanne
,
halfe
offended
at
hys
follye
(
as
he
thoughte
)
sayde
hys
manne
was
madde
,
and
made
no
accounte
of
hys
wordes
:
yet
he
still
continewed
in
hys
request
to
hys
Maister
,
desiring
leaue
to
returne
,
and
to
sée
the
trueth
of
that
hée
imagined
.
Wherevnto
the
Gentleman
agréed
,
and
stayed
to
heare
what
newes
his
man
would
bring
him
.
The
Fryer
looking
back
,
and
hearing
hym
call
Frater
Iohn
,
doubted
leaste
he
had
discouered
hys
Mistresse
:
and
therefore
with
a
long
armed
batte
(
a
common
weapon
for
those
mates
to
martch
wi●h
)
hée
so
reached
at
the
fellowe
,
as
he
felled
him
off
his
horse
,
and
straighte
leaping
vppon
hym
cutte
hys
throte
:
hys
maister
,
who
sawe
a
farre
off
hys
man
ouerthrowne
,
supposed
hée
hadde
fallen
by
some
mischaunce
,
and
therfore
hasted
to
helpe
him
vppe
againe
.
But
when
he
came
nere
to
thys
desperate
and
sturdie
Frier
,
with
the
same
blessing
that
he
vnhorsed
the
man
,
he
vnhorsed
the
maister
,
and
cast
himselfe
vpon
him
,
with
al
the
violence
he
might
:
and
if
the
gentleman
had
not
bin
both
bolde
&
strong
,
the
Frier
had
there
ended
the
Tragedie
.
But
by
his
strength
,
he
helde
him
so
harde
in
hys
armes
,
as
he
coulde
doe
him
no
more
hurte
:
And
withall
forced
him
to
forgo
the
knife
wherewith
hée
had
performed
all
this
mischiefe
,
which
his
wife
séeing
it
fall
from
him
,
toke
it
vp
,
and
put
it
into
the
hande
of
hyr
husbande
.
The
case
béeing
altered
,
the
gentlewomans
courage
encreased
:
for
in
the
moste
furious
manner
that
she
myghte
,
she
bestyrred
hyr
to
plague
hym
,
that
hadde
so
muche
punished
hyr
:
And
in
the
meane
tyme
the
gentleman
so
stabbed
in
the
Frier
,
as
he
was
fayne
to
yéelde
,
&
confessed
the
trueth
of
hys
faulte
.
The
Gentleman
would
not
kyll
hym
,
but
kepte
hym
to
discouer
more
,
and
to
receyue
some
sharper
correction
,
for
hys
so
horrible
an
offence
:
and
so
carryed
hym
to
the
Emperours
iustice
in
Flaunders
,
where
he
vttered
the
order
of
the
execution
of
this
mischiefe
,
wyth
the
cause
,
shewing
what
a
number
of
Gentlewomen
and
beautifull
may●s
(
by
the
like
murders
and
treasons
)
were
closely
kepte
in
theyr
Monasterie
,
which
proued
true
,
by
commissioners
appointed
,
they
first
deliuered
for
the
all
suche
women
as
they
found
moste
pitifully
closed
in
theyr
Cloysters
,
and
(
for
an
euerlasting
memorie
to
their
posteritie
)
they
shut
vp
all
the
Friers
in
the
Abbey
,
and
burned
both
the
house
and
those
damnable
wretches
togither
.
Here
you
haue
a
manifest
mirror
of
all
the
mischiefes
that
may
be
,
whiche
sheweth
no
single
sinne
,
and
in
one
priuate
,
but
by
a
moste
bloudy
and
common
consent
of
the
whole
Couent
:
the
like
neuer
heard
nor
redde
off
afore
,
committed
by
any
Barbarian
,
Iew
,
Turke
,
or
Heathen
.
I
shold
(
in
troth
)
do
double
iniurie
to
our
new
found
Iesuites
,
and
depriue
them
of
the
honor
they
deserue
,
if
I
should
not
appoint
them
(
as
guestes
twice
welcome
)
a
speciall
place
in
these
bloudy
banckets
:
for
albeit
neither
Saint
Francis
,
Saint
Dominick
,
nor
Saint
Anthony
,
was
acquainted
wyth
them
:
yet
are
they
cloth
of
the
same
wool
,
and
wil
proue
no
worse
in
the
wearing
though
dyed
into
an
other
colour
,
for
you
shall
finde
them
as
ignoraunt
as
Monkes
,
as
imputente
and
shamelesse
as
Monkes
,
and
as
mischieuous
&
profane
as
Monks
:
and
therfore
,
for
affinitie
,
fraternitie
,
and
societie
,
they
haue
all
vowed
their
deuotion
to
one
Saint
.
And
where
they
be
(
indéede
)
auntient
,
and
can
claime
their
antiquitie
from
the
fall
of
Lucifer
,
yet
as
politicke
children
,
following
the
suttletie
of
their
Father
(
to
deceiue
the
iniquitie
of
time
)
do
maske
vnder
a
straunge
visarde
.
By
whiche
pretext
,
they
haue
promised
,
to
restore
England
to
their
Romishe
mother
holy
Church
agayne
.
And
therefore
to
further
theyr
sayling
,
that
they
may
the
sooner
be
set
a
shore
at
Wapping
,
I
will
shewe
you
a
créedible
example
or
two
(
committed
by
some
of
their
profession
)
as
horrible
as
the
reste
.
A
Gentleman
of
Lymosin
(
Lord
of
Saint
Iohn
de
Lygours
)
abusing
his
wiues
mother
,
and
hauing
children
by
hir
(
vnder
benedicite
,
)
discouered
his
fault
to
one
of
this
fraternitie
:
who
to
proue
their
profession
frée
of
no
sin
,
exercised
the
craft
of
coyning
,
and
now
toke
occasion
(
hauing
this
gentlemans
head
at
his
foote
)
to
perswade
him
to
ioyne
in
making
of
counterfaite
money
with
him
.
After
they
had
practised
this
matter
long
betwéen
them
,
the
Iesuit
séeing
the
in●est
to
presse
the
gentlemans
conscience
(
as
it
dayly
vnquieted
him
)
for
all
the
ordinarie
absolutions
he
had
giuen
him
:
and
finding
,
that
he
toke
greater
pleasure
in
the
mother
,
than
in
the
daughter
,
he
perswaded
him
to
marry
hir
:
shewing
that
the
marriage
was
most
lawful
in
hir
,
in
whome
he
most
delighted
:
confirming
that
the
matrimonie
he
dwelt
in
,
and
all
that
came
of
it
was
accursed
.
And
therfore
hée
toke
in
hande
,
to
frée
him
from
this
care
:
whiche
he
executed
in
the
absence
of
the
gentleman
,
thoughe
his
consente
were
with
him
.
So
,
entring
on
a
night
into
the
Castell
according
to
his
custome
(
hauing
coltes
of
his
owne
coate
with
him
)
wente
straight
to
the
gentlewomans
chamber
,
whose
throat
he
cut
in
hir
bed
,
and
after
murdered
hir
two
little
infants
that
lay
by
hir
:
the
one
of
them
,
calling
him
by
his
name
,
held
vp
his
hands
,
and
leapt
into
his
armes
for
mercie
,
as
he
confessed
at
his
execution
.
Not
satisfied
with
this
(
with
the
helpe
of
his
companions
)
he
massacred
all
that
he
founde
in
the
house
:
and
to
couer
the
fault
,
meaning
to
burne
them
,
he
brought
their
bodyes
togither
into
one
chamber
,
and
set
fire
on
the
whole
Castell
.
But
God
,
whose
prouidence
would
not
suffer
the
fire
to
consume
neither
the
one
nor
the
other
,
they
were
pitifully
founde
,
the
murderers
taken
,
and
the
fault
confessed
,
whiche
the
gentleman
hearing
,
fled
to
Sauoye
,
and
passing
for
Gene
,
was
knowne
vpon
the
way
,
followed
to
Lausanne
,
and
there
executed
.
Oh
wretched
condition
more
than
damnable
,
deuised
without
malice
,
performed
without
mercie
,
and
by
a
Iesuit
of
the
Popes
professors
.
A

yeares
,
whose
beautie
,
and
bodie
(
though
in
bare
tearmes
)
was
not
to
be
mistiked
:
he
taken
in
a
sodaine
lust
to
hyr
,
perswaded
the
yong
thing
that
he
woulde
better
hir
state
,
if
she
woulde
be
ruled
by
him
.
The
Girle
séeing
him
to
séeme
a
holy
Father
,
and
like
a
maister
in
Israel
,
supposed
she
had
founde
good
fortune
,
beléeued
hys
perswasion
,
&
went
to
hys
Cloyster
with
hym
,
where
she
was
for
a
time
closed
in
hys
Cabinet
,
and
in
the
end
,
desiring
to
enioy
a
more
libertie
,
she
was
rounded
,
crowned
,
and
vested
in
Saint
Iesus
habit
,
and
so
continewed
many
yeares
,
in
sort
as
a
Nouice
.
In
Anno.
1569.
a
gentlemans
sonne
of
the
Citie
,
accustomed
to
come
among
them
,
happened
to
breake
a
glasse
Windowe
,
belonging
to
thys
holye
Father
:
who
layde
hande
vpon
him
for
it
,
had
him
in
,
&
hanged
the
poore
childe
by
the
hoeles
,
with
as
many
scourges
,
as
he
and
his
darling
coulde
(
in
charitie
)
bestow
vpon
him
.
Which
known
to
the
Father
,
desirous
to
be
reuenged
of
the
harme
done
to
hys
sonne
(
without
any
threats
)
he
inuited
them
to
supper
:
who
being
arriued
,
and
entertayned
into
sundrye
places
of
the
house
(
attending
in
hope
,
the
time
of
theyr
good
cheare
)
they
were
at
last
brought
into
a
greate
chamber
where
certaine
gallants
wer
ready
to
receiue
them
of
purpose
to
performe
the
pleasure
of
theyr
maister
:
who
after
they
had
vsed
a
long
admonition
,
touching
the
iniurie
done
to
hym
and
hys
Chyld
,
they
did
read
our
Iesuit
such
a
whipping
Chapter
from
the
heade
to
the
héeles
,
and
basted
him
so
on
bothe
sides
for
burning
,
as
they
toke
his
stomacke
cleane
from
hys
supper
.
And
when
they
wente
about
(
wyth
the
same
lesson
)
to
teach
hys
Nouice
to
spell
and
to
put
togyther
:
our
olde
leachor
on
both
hys
knées
entreated
for
hym
,
offering
to
suffer
as
much
more
(
though
it
were
painefull
to
hym
)
so
they
would
spare
him
.
Notwithstanding
,
seeing
hee
was
a
partner
at
the
childes
punishmente
,
they
stripped
hym
,
whereby
the
mysterye
of
hys
lewde
life
was
discouered
:
whyche
being
deliuered
to
iustice
,
he
boldlye
,
and
shameleslye
aunsweared
,
it
is
written
that
it
is
not
good
for
a
man
to
be
alone
,
and
therefore
he
hadde
chosen
hyr
for
his
companyon
.
By
thys
is
shewed
not
alone
the
order
of
theyr
liues
being
a
principle
of
theyr
profession
,
and
a
generall
rule
to
all
of
their
Courte
:
but
also
it
manyfesteth
theyr
shamelesse
doyngs
,
adding
sinne
to
sinne
(
by
blasphemie
)
applying
the
Scripture

For

so
,
as
thys

(
being

the
beste
parte
of
my

)
this
gentleman
moued
by
the

Ghoste

as

came
to

,
and
declared

And
I
that
knowe
hys
house
,
hys
friendes
,
and
himselfe
,
to
be
of
a
fayre
liuing
,
promised
to
speake
vnto
you
of
it
.
This
Iesuit
,
or
this
Sathan
in
the
shape
of
a
man
,
to
auoyde
suspition
,
the
cunninger
to
carrie
at
befo●e
him
,
and
with
the
more
finenesse
to
abuse
this
poore
widowe
:
did
affirme
his
worthinesse
euerye
waye
,
if
one
inconuenience
,
were
not
the
let
to
so
good
a
motion
,
and
that
none
in

Cittie
dyd
knowe
of
it
but
hymselfe
.
Whiche
was
,
where
he
would
haue
succoured
his
friend
,
that
another
soughte
to
murder
,
he
drewe
his
Rapier
,
meanyng
onlye
to
parie
them
,
and
it
happened
his

to
kil
hys
aduersarie
:
wherfore
he
(
although
he
strucke
neuer
a

)
is
fledde
from
hys
Countrey
,
bycause
he
assisted
the
manslayer
.
And
by
the
Councel
of

he
is
retyred
to
this

,
in

vntil

whiche
hée

:
So
that
for
this
reason
,
if
you
like
of
the
partye
vppon
my
faythfull
perswasion
,
the
marriage
muste
be
made
in
as
secrete
sorte
as
maye
●e
:
and
withall
,
you
muste
be
contente
in
the
day
,
to
suffer
hym
to
repayre
to
the
common
Lectures
,
the
more
to
couer
the
suspition
:
And
euery
night
to
the
comfort
of
you
and
your
daughter
,
hée
shall
accompanye
you
to
your
best
pleasure
.
The
good
gentlewoman
,
who
was
easily
bewitched
to
beléeue
these
counterfaite
Gods
,
thought
hir
daughter
better
prouided
for
,
than
she
coulde
otherwise
by
any
mean
deuis●
:
●
therfore
toke
so
great
pleasure
to
heare
the
deuise
(
according
to
the
p●ouerb
:
It
is
easie
to
deceiue
the
simple
and
true
meaner
)
as
vppon
those
conditions
,
thys
Minion
was
brought
,
and
they
fianced
the
same
day
:
and
after
midnight
(
for
the
more
hast
to
receiue
of
the
olde
woman
fiue
hundred
duckats
in
lieu
of
hir
daughters
dower
,
which
like
false
harlots
they
parted
without
any
broker
)
he
saide
Masse
and
marryed
them
:
after
which
marriage
,
they
liued
a
certaine
tyme
together
with
equall
contentment
,
to
the
great
comfort
of
hir
mother
,
who
highly
thanked
God
and
hir
confessor
,
for
the
good
happe
of
hir
daughter
.
But
in
the
end
,
a
Dominus
vobiscum
(
pronounced
by
this
Iesuit
,
and
a
Priest
)
so
discouered
the
matter
,
as
their
knauerie
began
to
appeare
in
their
kinde
:
for
this
newe
married
wife
following
the
deuotion
she
bare
to
this
proude
profession
,
waiting
on
hir
mother
to
heare
Masse
at
their
Couent
,
euen
as
this
companion
turned
to
say
Dominus
vobiscum
,
the
poore
young
woman
,
stoode
more
astonied
than
a
founder
of
Bels.
And
after
she
had
a
little
recouered
the
extacie
that
this
sodaine
sight
brought
hir
into
:
she
shewed
hir
mother
plainely
that
he
which
said
Masse
was
hir
husband
,
or
at
the
least
one
that
resembled
him
muche
.
The
olde
woman
making
very
daungerous
to
heare
it
,
woulde
not
be
persuaded
that
any
such
mockerie
coulde
be
committed
by
those
that
were
so
holy
,
accounting
it
the
greatest
sinne
that
might
bée
,
to
haue
so
harmefull
a
thought
of
them
:
and
therefore
sought
to
remoue
that
damnable
opinion
from
hir
daughter
.
But
the
Ite
missa
est
,
manifested
the
whole
mischiefe
,
for
then
it
did
not
alone
confirme
the
daughters
feare
,
but
it
also
brought
a
doubtfull
imagination
to
hir
mother
:
notwithstanding
she
suspended
hir
earnest
beliefe
,
vntill
she
might
sée
more
proofe
of
it
:
and
therefore
she
concluded
,
that
at
night
when
he
should
come
to
lie
with
his
wife
,
the
mother
should
(
as
it
were
in
a
iest
)
holde
both
his
handes
,
whilest
the
daughter
pulled
of
his
coife
,
which
practized
and
performed
accordingly
,
they
found
his
crowne
faire
shauen
,
that
bewrayed
the
knauerie
.
Then
there
was
no
more
question
whether
he
were
a
Priest
,
but
they
both
bethought
,
how
they
might
be
reuenged
of
so
great
an
iniurie
,
for
she
was
robbed
,
hir
daughter
spoiled
,
&
both
infamed
,
and
all
by
the
lewd
abuse
of
hir
confessor
,
for
whom
she
presently
sent
,
faining
to
haue
some
great
secrete
to
shewe
him
.
And
calling
hir
friendes
vnto
hir
,
they
apprehended
them
both
,
and
deliuered
them
to
iustice
:
who
quitted
them
on
easie
conditions
,
for
Temporall
Iudges
durst
not
lay
violent
hand
vppon
so
sacred
a
profession
,
they
had
so
bewitched
the
worlde
,
and
so
blinded
the
eyes
euen
of
the
greatest
Princes
,
as
they
forced
of
no
fault
,
for
their
superstitious
&
proude
tyrannie
was
euer
a
bulwarke
to
all
their
villanie
,
which
they
onely
presumed
on
,
by
the
authoritie
of
their
Popish
libertie
,
as
this
example
doth
manifest
the
same
.
ACurate
of
Clauenie
,
in
the
Dutchie
of
Guyen
,
did
séeke
to
Apo.
Ste.
Fol.
172.
subborne
the
daughter
of
an
honest
man
of
the
same
towne
,
to
his
lewd
iust
&
pleasure
,
whom
he
haunted
in
all
places
where
she
went
,
notwithstanding
she
still
flatly
&
constantly
denied
him
,
which
bred
the
greater
fire
to
his
beastly
desire
.
And
therefore
one
day
the
maide
going
to
hir
Fathers
Farme
(
somwhat
out
of
the
towne
)
this
Minion
masked
in
blew
sarsnet
,
set
al
ouer
with
little
starres
of
golde
,
hauing
a
fine
Lawne
ouer
his
face
,
&
his
armes
and
legges
bare
,
but
couered
likewise
with
Lawne
,
in
this
atfire
he
appeared
vnto
hir
on
the
way
,
&
(
with
a
counterfeit
voyce
)
shewed
hir
,
that
he
was
the
virgin
Marie
,
declaring
vnto
hir
,
howe
sundry
afflictions
should
fal
on
the
towne
,
for
the
Lutheran
heresie
that
was
entred
among
them
(
against
which
this
Priest
was
a
great
Preacher
)
with
sundry
other
purposes
,
touching
the
same
,
and
further
willed
hir
to
shew
it
to
the
towne
,
that
they
might
celebrate
hir
feast
with
fasting
&
prayer
,
telling
hir
withal
how
she
had
refused
the
friendship
&
loue
of
a
holy
person
,
who
in
the
same
place
(
not
long
before
)
made
sute
vnto
hir
,
for
that
she
denied
him
:
and
therfore
if
he
sought
any
thing
at
hir
hands
hereafter
,
that
she
should
obey
him
,
&
there
would
great
happinesse
followe
hir
by
it
:
charging
hir
that
shée
shoulde
not
discouer
this
laste
parte
to
anye
Creature
.
The
simple
wench
beléeued
all
for
truth
,
and
deliuered
it
as
a
prophesie
,
to
forewarne
them
of
that
shoulde
happen
to
Clauenie
:
for
the
which
cause
(
at
the
first
)
the
inhabitantes
feared
much
:
&
in
the
meane
time
this
poore
soule
yéelded
to
his
villanie
,
which
was
shortly
after
spyed
,
the
practize
discouered
,
and
he
executed
,
as
well
worthie
.
In
a
village
neare
vnto
Coignacke
called
Shernes
,
the
person
Apo.

there
abused
his
owne
Sister
so
long
,
as
in
the
ende
he
gat
hir
with
child
:
which
the
Curate
so
couered
,
as
she
(
being
holden
verie
holy
,
through
hir
déepe
hipocrisie
)
was
taken
to
be
as
chast
a
virgin
as
might
be
:
and
therefore
when
this
fault
was
spied
,
he
shamed
not
to
publishe
,
that
it
procéeded
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
that
she
was
a
second
virgin
Marie
:
the
brute
whereof
comming
to
the
hearing
of
Erle
Charles
of
Angoleme
,
he
sent
of
purpose
to
sée
how
it
was
,
for
that
he
suspected
some
abuse
in
it
:
in
whose
presence
the
supposed
virgin
(
of
the
age
of
.
13.
yéeres
)
being
solemnly
charged
by
hir
brother
vpon
the
damnation
of
hir
soule
,
to
deliuer
them
the
truth
(
repeating
the
second
time
the
same
admiration
)
she
answered
,
I
take
this
holy
Sacrament
to
my
damnation
before
you
all
here
present
,
that
neuer
any
man
did
carnally
knowe
me
,
or
in
that
sort
of
sinne
touch
me
,
no
more
than
you
my
brother
haue
done
:
they
hearing
so
vehement
a
vowe
,
returned
and
confirmed
the
shamelesse
report
that
was
afore
:
but
the
Erle
being
wise
,
and
noting
the
order
of
hir
othe
nearer
than
they
did
,
founde
the
fire
by
the
smoke
,
and
therefore
sent
againe
,
commanding
they
shoulde
be
seuerally
committed
,
and
seuerally
examined
,
whereby
the
truth
was
confessed
,
and
they
both
altred
into
ashes
and
dedicated
to
Vulcan
.

hearing
that

I
maruell
how

went

not
(
in

to
say
,
my
Mistrisses

I
am
so
great
a

in

,
that
you
prattle
of
me
in
euerie
place
,

for
a
matter
that
is
lesse
than
nothing
?
Ah
good

is
it
so
straunge
a
case
,
for
a
holy
Frier
,
to
get
his
Hostis
daughter
with
childe
?
I
am
glad
it
was
no
worse
,
for
I
perceiue
you
would
haue
made
it
a
more
wonder
,
if
she
had
gotten
me
with
childe
.
Oh
shamelesse
sort
of
Sodomits
,
that
would
so
abhominably
abuse
the
place
prepared

but
howe
could
you
deliuer
better
matter
from
you
,
when
there
was
no
better
substance
in
you

will
tell
you
of
an
vnthankful
and
trayterous
Prelate

excéeding
any
spoken
of
before
.
The
Duke
of

deceassing
without

there
Gelderland
,
which
of
them
should
enioy
the
same
,
both
claiming
to
be
next
in
succession
to
it
.
In
the
end
,
fortune
gaue
the
Duke
of
Brabant
the
victorie
,
who
tooke
the
Byshoppe
of
Collen
prisoner
,
(
for
that
he
had
ayded
the
Count
againste
him
)
and
deliuered
hym
in
custodie
to
the
Earle
of
Mounte
in

,
where
he
was
kepte
captiue
seauen
yeares
,
vntill
he
hadde
yéelded
to
all
suche
conditions
as
the
Duke
demaunded
of

After
the
Bishoppe
was
deliuered

he
requested
the

to
accompanie

ioyning

But
as
they
passed
the

the
Counte
mistrusting
no
falshoode
in

was
taken
by

had
appointed
there
for

purpose
.
And
to
acquit
the
Counties
curtesie
,
&
good
entertainment
(
whiche
was
euery
waye
as
honorable
as
might
be
)
he
caused
a
Cage
of

to
be
made
,
and
set
it
in
the
Sunne
:
And
after
,
annointing
the
pore

ouer
with
hony
,
forced
him
naked
to
enter
into

where
hée
long

endured
the
greatest
languor

torment
in

,
with
swarmes
of

that
dayly
fed
on
hym
,

in
this
sorte

with
paine

ended
his

An other
Bishop
of
Collen
named
Henry
,
hauing
Count
Frederike
his
captiue
,
caused
him
to
be
broken
vpon
a
whéele
,
his
legs
,
his
thighes
,
his
armes
,
his
backe
,
and
his
necke
,
Apo.
Ste.

and
after
laid
him
out
to
be
a
pray
to
Rauens
.
There
were
two
Canons
in
Collen
,
that
vnder
the
coulour
of
great
friendship
,
inuited
a
Lorde
of
the
same
Citie
Harman
Grin
)
whom
notwithstanding
they
mortally
hated
.
And
séeming
in
courtesie
to
shew
him
a
lion
(
which
they
norished
for
the
honor
of
their
Bishop
,
)
they
trayterouslye
trained
him
into
the
Cage
,
where
the
beast
was
,
to
be
deuoured
:
But
the
gentleman
séeing
himselfe
brought
into
suche
daunger
,
tooke
courage
vnto
him
:
And
wrapping
his
cloake
aboute
his
lefte
arme
,
thruste
it
into
the
Lyons
throate
,
and
with
his
right
hand
drew
out
his
dagger
,
and
killed
him
:
whereby
he
saued
himselfe
,
and
the
treason
discouered
.
In
the
time
of
the
Emperour
Otton
the
great
,
the
Bishop
of
Magence
séeing
the
famine
that
fell
in
the
Countrie
,
I
had
almoste
forgotten
a
certaine
Iesuite
in
Viena
in
Apo.
Ste.
Fo.
317.
Austrie
,
who
made
it
no
conscience
to
abuse
a
merchantes
wife
(
whome
he
had
vnder
confession
)
before
al
the
Saints
of
eyther
kinde
,
not
simply
in
the
Church
,
but
behinde
the
high
aultar
,
and
on
good
friday
,
who
being
taken
with
the
manner
(
althoughe
the
faulte
deserued
as
vile
a
death
as
might
bée
deuised
)
yet
he
was
only
enioyned
for
penance
,
to
forbeare
the
saying
of
Masse
thrée
moneths
:
which
their
Legate
(
comming
from
Rome
)
thoughte
it
so
sharpe
a
punishment
,
as
he
presently
absolued
him
of
it
.
Whose
ordinarie
Masses
were
after
founde
of
as
good
sauour
,
tast
,
and
digestion
(
to
those
that
willingly
deuoured
them
)
as
if
they
had
bin
said
of
the
moste
maydenliest
Priest
in
the
world
.
So
as
,
if
one
would
search
the
euils
of
all
sortes
,
committed
by
these
rauening
rabble
that
fed
on
the
Churche
,
hée
shoulde
finde
them
innumerable
.
But
,
as
touching
theyr
punishments
,
it
was
seldome
,
or
for
the
most
part
so
light
,
that
it
séemed
(
indéede
)
but
a
mockerie
.
Where
,
on
the
other
side
,
if
any
were
only
suspected
to
couet
the
true
way
to
their
saluation
,
fire
and
sworde
was
layde
vpon
them
,
with
al
the
rigor
and
violence
that
might
be
.
Was
it
not
a
pitiful
condition
,
that
the
pore
members
of
Christe
dwelled
in
,
when
they
were
as
faine
(
and
with
as
muche
feare
)
to
hide
themselues
in
caues
,
corners
,
and
other
desolate
places
,
for
reading
of
the
Bible
and
the
new
Testament
:
as
those
that
carryed
counterfaite
money
,
or
committed
a
worser
crime
.
For
,
whosoeuer
was
taken
with
Gods
Booke
(
the
onely
Pilote
to
the
Porte
of
oure
redemption
)
eyther
in
his
hande
,
or
in
his
house
,
hée
was
sure
to
suffer
death
without
al
fauour
(
specially
)
if
the
holy
Ghost
confirmed
him
in
it
.
But
such
was
the
substance
of
his
blessed
worde
,
and
the
heauenly
fruits
of
the
same
:
as
the
more
they
persecuted
,
the
more
zealous
professors
,
and
faithful
willing
Martyres
encreased
by
it
.
For
,
as
our
Sauiour
Christe
saith
,
they
helde
the
keyes
of
knowledge
from
vs
,
neither
entring
themselues
,
nor
would
suffer
others
to
enter
by
them
:
By
whych
their
willing
and
wilful
blindenesse
,
bothe
the
one
and
the
other
fell
into
the
bottomlesse
Pitte
of
euerlasting
darkenesse
:
yet
in
their
Pulpittes
(
to
féede
the
simplicitie
of
the
tyme
)
they
would
giue
vs
part
of
the
Texte
,
enlarged
by
their
owne
gloses
.
And
therfore
to
approue
their
learning
to
their
lynes
,
and
theyr
liues
to
the
learning
of
those
forefathers
,
vppon
whose
doctrine
the
Papistes
depend
,
although
I
haue
already
saide
sufficient
,
to
terrifie
the
stowtest
,
to
reclaime
the
faintest
,
and
to
winne
the
weakest
in
conscience
,
if
Gods
grace
haue
not
vtterly
abandoned
them
:
yet
I
wil
Oliuer
Maleard
a
Frenchman
,
and
Mychell

an

,
two
of

As

we

in

how

And

This

Martha

And
after
hée
maketh
a
greate
narration
of
the
meanes
that
Martha
made
to
haue

come
to
the
Sermon
of
our
Lorde
:
not
telling

,
or
who
he
was
,
but
vsing
alluring
spéeches
,
said
he
was
a
faire
yong
man
,
&
of
a
goodly
personage
:
O

essetis
valde
foelix
,
si
possetis
videre
vnum

qui

.
Est

omnibus
quos
vnquam
vidistis
,
tam
gratiosus
,
tam
honestus
,
he
hath
so
faire
a
countenance
,
so
good
a
grace
,
&
so
goodly
of
body
,
you
neuer
saw
his
like
.
Credo
firmiter
ꝙsi
videretis
eum
,
essetis

,

.
And
a
little
after
,
illa
coepit
pulchra
indumenta
sua
,
aquam
rosaceam
prolauando

:
coepit

Ipsa
ante

misit

portantes
manye
Cushions
of
Crimoson
veluet
,
vt
disponerent

locum
.
Martha
videbat
haec
omnia
,
fingens
nihil
videre
:
&
sequebatur
eam
sicut
si
fuisset
parua
ancilla
.
Christus
iam
erat
in
media
praedicatione
,
vel
forte
in

.
After
he
sawe
howe
they
dydde
honoure
and
reuerence
to
Magdalena
,
euerye
one
wondering
to
sée
hir
come
to
a
Sermon
,
which
when
Christe
perceiued
,
he
beganne
to
preache
,
that
pompe
,
pride
,
and
brauerie
,
was
a
moste
detestable
matter
.
Tunc
(
sayde
he
)
ipse
coepit
detestare
vitia
,
bragas
,
pompas
,
vanitates
,
&
specialiter
peccatum
luxuriae
:
&
contra

mulieres
,
&c.
After
this
he
reciteth
how
Magdalen
was
touched
to
the
quicke
with
that
she
hearde
in
this
Sermon
,
and
then
thoughte
on
nothing
so
muche
as
on
Repentaunce
:
yet
was
in
daunger
to
be
turned
by
hir
companions
and
customers
,
and
to
be
broughte
to
hir
firste
course
of
life
.

And
a
little
after
habebat
in
suo
armariolo
aquam
of
swéete
smels
,
quae
vendebatur

.
Coepit

Quis

And
then
he
setteth
forth
the
Oration
shée
made
before
shée
kissed
Christes
féete
,
&
in
the
washing
of
them
with
hir
teares
,
and
in
the
ende
,
howe
she
lay
vnder
the
table
like
a
dog
:
and
that
our
Lord
saide
:
O
Mary
,
I
praye
thée
rise
:
And
that
she
answered
,
I
wil
neuer
remoue
from
this
place
,
vntil
thou
haste
giuen
me
remission
for
al
my
sinnes
,
and
your
holy
blessing
.
And
then
he
saide
,
my
loue
,
rise
,
thy
sinnes
are
forgyuen
thée
,
thy
fayth
hathe
saued
thée
.
And
in
the
ende
,
he
concluded
howe
Martha
presented
Magdalena
to
the
Virgine
Mary
:
before
whome
shée
fell
on
hir
knées
,
and
saide
,
good
Madam
pardon
me
if
it
please
you
,
that
I
may
speake
to
you
,
I
haue
bin
of
an
euil
life
,
and
a
great
sinner
,
but
now
by
the
grace
of
God
I
will
doe
no
more
so
.
Your

hath
this

forgiuen
me
:
Lord
,
how
happy
are
you
to
haue
such
a
son
.
Here
you
may
sée
how
this
gentle
preacher
hath
disciphered
this
history
,
making
of
the
Scriptures
a
shippemans

,
or
a
tale
of
Robin
Hood
.
But
now
let
vs
looke
into
the
substance
of

,
who
hath
with
no

paraphrased

that
those
,
who

And
then
he

he
made

hauing

in

,

.
And
in
the
ende
,
Postquam
nihil
amplius
erat

,
when
there
was
no
more
to
spend
:
mittitur

of

and

euerye
one
carryed
away

:
ita
quod
in
breui
tempore
,
oure
gallant
was
made
like
a
gatherer
of
Aples
,
and
apparelled
as
a
burner
of
houses
,
or
a
chimney
swéeper
:
For
hée
was
left
as
naked
as
my
naile
,
and
as
nigh
worne
to
the

as
a

,
hauing

with

whych
was
as
bright
as
a

of

or
like

,
he
had
so
wisely
gouerned
and
vsed
his
prosperitie
by
hys
pride
,
pompe
,
and
glorie
.
And
further
,
to
proue
his
wit
,
as
one
that
was
neuer
without
matter
to
please
his
audience
:
he
courseth
and
discourseth
a
gallant
glose
on
the
euangelist
of
S.
Mathew
Lymosin
,
who
commonly
do
eat
much
,
but
drink
little
.
Then
he
maketh
a
question
,
where
Christ
learned
to
prepare
his
dinner
:
adding
,
that
he
supposed
he
had
not
frequented
the
Banquettes
of
Paris
,
where
they
do
not
forget
to
drincke
with
theyr
meate
.
And
after
he
argueth
whether
it
were
not
in
Lent
,
bycause
euerie
one
did
eate
as
much
fishe
as
he
would
:
and
where
Christ
did
shewe
his
first
myracle
in
a
marriage
to
prouide
wine
and
no
bread
,
so
nowe
he
prepared
bread
and
no
wine
:
wherein
he
commendeth
the
wisedome
and
good
husbandry
of
Christ
,
for
that
he
kept
a
rounde
table
for
all
commers
,
it
is
not
mentioned
that
the
Virgin
Marie
was
there
,
for
I
beléeue
(
sayde
he
)
if
she
had
bin
present
,
she
would
haue
remembred
him
as
she
did
at
the
marriage
,
saying
,
they
haue
no
wine
,
&
séeing
they
féed
with
so
good
a
stomacke
,
it
is
pitie
they
lacke
drinke
to
moysten
their
meate
with
:
and
truely
it
is
not
for
your
reputation
,
credite
,
nor
honor
,
to
call
such
a
companie
togither
and
giue
them
no
wyne
:
but
(
said
he
)
if
any
would
make
question
why
our
Sauiour
prouided
not
drinke
,
aswell
as
meate
,
I
woulde
be
his
Atturney
,
and
answere
:
Propter
aquarum
aproximationem
,
miraculi
maiorem
declarationem
,
Sacramenti
Eucharistiae
praefiguratio
:
that
is
,
For
that
the
water
being
at
hand
,
he
woulde
the
better
declare
the
myracle
,
prefiguring
the
Sacrament
of
the
Eucharist
:
so
it
is
written
,
they
were
by
the
Sea
of
Galile
,
&
sat
vpon
faire
and
swéete
grasse
:
so
as
when
they
had
eaten
their
fil
,
they
might
goe
drinke
as
much
as
they
list
.
I
could
haue
enlarged
this
place
if
I
had
followed
the
grosse
course
of
Maliard
,
but
this
is
more
than
sufficient
,
to
shew
how
they
vsed
both
abrupfly
and
absurdlye
to
iest
with
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
prophaning
them
at
their
doltishe
pleasures
.
And
further
Barrelet
.
Fol.
367.
Barrelet
affirmed
,
that
rather
than
Christ
shoulde
not
haue
bin
crucified
,
Marie
his
mother
would
haue
crucified
him
with
hir
owne
handes
,
for
(
said
he
)
there
was
no
lesse
charitie
in
hir
,
than
there
was
in
Abraham
,
who
was
readie
and
prepared
to
kill
his
onely
sonne
.
And
bycause
it
may
séeme
incredible
that
any
woulde

so
blasphemous

that

their
requests
,
they
sent
women
to
be
petitioners
for
them
.
The
first
was
Madam
Eue
,
who
vsed
these
speeches
:
Thou
hast
condemned
vs
for
our
sinne
,
but
thou
(
O
Lorde
)
hast
no
respect
there
vnto
,
deliuer
me
out
of
this
darke
and
obscure
prison
:
to
whom
God
answered
,
Eue
thou
hast
sinned
,
and
therfore
not
worthy
of
my
Sonne
.
The
second
was
Madam
Sara
,
who
said
,
O
Lord
helpe
vs
:
to
whom
God
answered
,
thou
art
not
worthye
,
for
thou
wast
harde
of
beliefe
,
touching
thy
Sonne
Isaak
.
The
thirde
was
Madam
Rebecca
:
to
whome
God
sayd
,
thou
shewedst
thy selfe
partiall
betwéene
Iacob
and
Esau
.
The
fourth
was
Madam
Iudith
:
to
whome
God
answered
,
thou
wast
a
murtherer
.
The
fifth
Madam
Hester
:
to
whome
he
sayde
thou
diddest
(
by
thy
glorie
)
loue
vanitie
too
much
,
when
thou
so
sumptiously
apparelledst
thy selfe
to
please
Assuerus
.
In
the
end
,
they
sent
a
waiting
maide
of
the
age
of
fourtéen
Yeeres
,
whose
countenance
was
lowly
and
verie
shamefast
,
who
vpon
hir
knées
saide
,
let
my
welbeloued
come
into
his
garden
,
and
eate
of
the
fruite
of
the
Orchard
:
The
garden
,
was
the
wombe
of
the
Virgin
.
The
sonne
hearing
these
wordes
,
sayde
to
his
Father
,
Father
I
haue
loued
this
Virgin
from
my
youthe
,
and
haue
hitherto
searched
the
meanes
to
haue
hir
for

.
At
the
which
instant
,
God
called
Gabriell
,
and
sayd
,
goe
thy
wayes
with
spéede
to
Nazareth
to
Marie
,
and
carrie
hir
this
present
and
these
letters
from
me
:
and
tell
hir
that
I
haue
chosen
hir
for
my
Spouse
.
And
the
Sonne
sayd
,
commende
me
to
hir
,
and
tell
hir
from

,
that
I
haue
chosen
hir
for

and
that
I
will
take
fleshe
of
hir

,
&
I
wil
be
hir
sonne
,
and
delyuer
hir
these
letters
.
After
these
two
the
holye

spake
:
I
will
dwell

shall

sayd

,
Marie
feare
not
,
but
shewe
me
the
cause
of
your

and
I
will
satisfie
you
.
Marie
asked
counsell
of
hir
second
damsell
,
Virginitie
,
who
willed
hir
to
know
of
the
Angell
,
the
meane
howe

The
Angell
answered
,
the
holy
Ghost
shall
come
vppon
thée

&c.
And
after
he
affyrmeth
there
grewe
an
argument
or
disputation
betwéene
the
Father

the
Sonne
,
and
the
Holy

who
shoulde
performe
this

in

ende
,
it
was
concluded
,
that
it
shoulde

If

maye

praye

to

Christe
,
for
thou
mayest
by
chaunce
méete
with
Caine
,
who
will
kill
thée
.
Noe
likewise
presented
himself
to
the
seruice
,
saying
that
that
honor
was
due
to
him
:
to
whome
Christe
answered
,
thou
shalt
not
go
,
bicause
thou
louest
to
drinke
ouer
much
.
Iohn
Baptist
requested
the
credite
of
that
message
:
No
truely
sayde
Christe
,
thy
apparell
is
too
base
,
for
thy
robe
is
only
of
skinnes
,
and
Herode
may
happe
to
knowe
thée
againe
.
The
Thiefe
desired
to
haue
that
office
:
Christe
refused
him
,
saying
,
thy
legges
he
broken
.
So
,
in
the
ende
,
there
was
sent
an
Aungel
,
who
did
sing
:
Regina
coelt
laetare
,
alleluia
,
resurrexit
sicut
dixit
:
alleluya
.
And
immediatelye
Christe
came
with
al
his
Saints
to
the
Virgin
Mary
,
&c.
There
are
many
more
blasphemous
matters
that
were
published
and
preached
by
these
great
Doctours
:
whose
damnable
errors
(
like
vnto
Mahomets
Alcaron
among
the
Turks
)
had
that
credite
then
in
the
worlde
,
as
it
was
death
to
reproue
them
or
controll
them
.
And
as
these
Sorbonists
by
theyr
Romish
authority
,
would
scan
the
Scriptures
to
their
own
lyking
,
Metamorphosing
the
texts
into
what
sense
or
forme
best
pleased
them
,
holding
the
world
in
that
ignoraunce
,
as
they
beléeued
all
they
sayde
to
be
the
onely
true
&
vndoubted
word
of
God
:
euen
so
the
common
sort
,
chosing
the
Pulpit
as
a
place
more
to
sport
in
,
than
to
profit
the
people
,
would
fil
vp
time
with
all
the
vanities
that
might
be
.
As
a
Preacher
in
the
towne
of
Iper
in
Flaunders
(
named
Bonauenture
)
shamed
not
to
saye
in
hys
Sermon
,
that
after
Apo.
Ste
Fol.
441.
Christ
grew
to
some
strength
,
Ioseph
beganne
to
teach
him
hys
occupation
.
And
one
day
among
others
,
he
sette
him
to
,
saw
a
péece
of
Tymber
,
but
Christ
not
regarding
the
mark
he
should
haue
sawed
it
by
,
he
cutte
it
too
short
:
whereat
Ioseph
was
very
angry
and
would
haue
beaten
him
,
if
he
had
not
hastily
taken
vp
the
one
ende
,
and
crauing
hys
Fathers
helpe
to
holde
the
other
,
drew
it
out
to
the
same
length
that
Ioseph
woulde
haue
it
,
whiche
the
Monke
iustifyed
to
bée
true
:
and
that
he
had
read
it
in
the
Euangeliste
of
Sainte
Anne
.
Also
a
Frier
(
named
Bardotte
)
preached
at
Burdeaux
,
the
reason
why
God
gaue
to
the
good
Théefe
Paradice
,
and
the
Ioseph
)
the
same
Théefe
would
not
suffer
his
companions
to
robbe
Christ
,
nor
any
that
was
with
him
:
And
that
he
sayde
to
Christe
remember
this
good
turne
I
haue
done
thée
:
which
was
then
promised
him
,
and
performed
,
when
they
met
both
at
one
execution
.
Whereby
you
may
sée
,
that
these
holye
Fathers
coulde
neuer
lack
good
matter
,
hauing
so
many
and
so
sundry
sorts
of
Euangelistes
,
as
they
listed
themselues
,
taking
out
of
some
,
pleasant
substance
to
make
their
Auditours
merry
:
and
out
of
others
;
some
miraculous
matter
to
bewitch
them
with
wonders
:
hauing
withall
,
a
readie
resolution
for
anye
obiection
shoulde
be
made
vnto
them
.
Yet
such
whose
simplicity
deliuered
the
best
Iewels
they
founde
in
the
Treasure
house
of
theyr
iudgement
,
were
more
to
be
borne
with
in
respect
of
theyr
ignorance
,
than
the
cunning
knauerie
of
those
,
who
not
alone
in
words
,
but
by
shameles
gesture
and
déeds
prepared
themselues
of
purpose
to
abuse
both
place
&
company
.
As
a

in
Bruxels
layde
a

to

one

very
shorte

(
and
without

he
entred
the
Pulpit
vpon
a
good
Friday
:
where
in
the
middest
of
the
Churche
,
he
did
so
vehementlye
set
forthe
the

of
Christ
,
that
the

pitiful

layde

he
bowed

so

discouered

a

A
Monke
at
Bloyse
named
Bastianus
preaching
on
Alhallonday
A
Frier
named
by
Erasmus
Robertus
Liciensis
hauing
a
louer
allowed
him
,
by
the
dispensation
of
Saint
Frauncis
,
Sarasens
,
and
Turkes
and
vpon
all
others
,
that
were
enimies
to
the
Christian
religion
:
affirming
,
that
it
was
great
pitie
,
the
no
person
would
aduaunce
himselfe
,
to
be
a
chiefe
of
so
honorable
an
enterprise
.
But
if
it
rest
(
sayd
he
)
only
on
the
,
behold
how
ready
I
am
to
shake
off
this
garment
of
S.
Francis
,
and
to
serue
either
for
a
Captain
,
or
for
a
simple
souldiour
.
and
therewithal
let
fal
his
Friers
habit
from
of
his
shoulders
,
and
remayned
preaching
halfe
an
houre
after
,
in
the
braue
apparell
of
a
Captayne
.
The
cause
being
asked
him
(
of
certaine
Cardinals
his
friendes
)
why
he
vsed
the
newe
fashion
of
Preaching
?
he
told
them
the
truth
,
as
you
haue
hearde
afore
,
and
it
passed
for
a
pleasaunt
payment
among
them
.
This
Liciensis
preaching
before
the
Pope
,
and
all
hys
Court
of
Cardinals
,
considering
their
pomp
and
pride
,
and
Saint
Peter
and
fie
S.
Paule
,
and
when
he
had
oft
recited
those
words
,
spitting
first
on
the
one
side
,
them
on
the
other
(
as
those
commonly
do
that
haue
some
grief
at
theyr
hartes
)
he
sodainely
departed
the
Pulpit
,
leauing
his
Auditours
wonderfully
astonyed
:
wherefore
some
thought
,
he
had
not
bin
wel
in
his
wits
,
&
other
some
imagined
,
he
was
not
sounde
of
Religion
:
so
as
they
ment
to
commit
him
.
But
one
Cardinal
among
the
rest
,
that
knew
partly
his
humor
:
caused
hym
to
be
called
before
the
Pope
,
who
commaunded
him
to
render
some
reason
for
that
he
had
done
,
&
to
shew
what
he
ment
by
his
horrible
blasphemy
:
he
answered
,
that
(
in
truth
)
he
was
determined
to
entreat
of
another
matter
:
but
considering
(
saide
he
)
that
you
possesse
all
the
pleasures
of
this
world
at
will
,
and
that
there
is
no
state
or
magnificencie
comparable
to
yours
,
and
waying
againe
with
what
pouertie
,
pain
,
and
miserie
,
the
Apostles
liued
:
I
thought
(
with
my selfe
)
that
eyther
they
were
great
fooles
,
to
choose
so
sharpe
a
life
,
to
goe
to
heauen
,
or
that
you
were
in
the
hye
way
to
Hell
:
and
as
for
you
that
holde
and
haue
the
keyes
of
heauen
in
your
hands
,
I
cannot
by
any
opinion
,
but
approue
your
wisdomes
,
commend
your
iudgements
,
and
thinke
wel
of
you
:
marry
as
touching
the
Apostles
,
I
will
neuer
estéeme
them
of
any
value
,
but
disdain
them
for
the
greatest
sots
in
the
world
,
who
might
with
the
like
delicate
course
of
life
,
come
to
heauen
as
you
do
,
and
yet
wold
choose
so
troublesome
,
so
strayght
,
and
so
paineful
a
way
vnto
Rome
,
who
had
made
the
Images
of
Saint
Peter
and
S.
Paule
,
and
a
Cardinal
comming
into
the
working
house
,
found
fault
that
he
had
painted
them
with
too
hie
a
colour
,
for
their
faces
(
saide
hée
)
were
too
red
,
to
whom
the
Painter
aunswered
:
this
rednesse
commes
of
shame
,
for
they
blushe
to
sée
the
proude
state
and
traynes
that
you
haue
,
in
respect
of
the
low
and
poore
countenaunce
they
carryed
.

did
at
(
the

)
wonderfully
amaze
his
Auditors
,
for
they
supposed
he
had
vsed
them
for
horrible
othes
,
considering
the
pause
or
stay
he
made
betwéene
euery

.
Whiche
bringeth
likewise
to
memory
,
the
knauerie
of

Chanons
in

who
Christened
two
children
of
one
Iohn
Gods
(
the
one
a
son
the
other
a
daughter
)
naming
the
son
Death
,
and
the
daughter
Vertue
.
This
hath
a
kynde
of
blasphemy
in
it
,
which
is
hateful
to
the
hearer
,
and
damnable
to
the
speaker
,
considering
with
what
grace
they
deliuer
it
.
But
a
Iesuite
(

at

vsed
his

in
playner
termes
who
made
it
no
conscience
to
sweare
by
God
,
in
despight
of
the
Protestantes
:
affirming
that
he
woulde
proue

how
they
were
worse
than

if

Which
kinde
of
blasphemie
is
not

to
be
attributed
to

One

God
(
by

had
shewed
Steuen

that
we
haue
a
fayre
place
by
the

where
riding
one
Euening
somewhat
late
,
my
Male
horse
stayed
contrarie
to
his
custome
,
and
played
puffe
,
puffe
:
I
commaunded
my
man
to
spurre
him
:
he
answeared
so
I
doe
sir
,
but
surely
he
séeth
somewhat
more
than
I
doe
:
and
then
I
remembred
my
mothers
reporte
,
howe
she
had
shewed
me
that
there
had
bene
séene
at
sundrie
times
,
the
appearance
of
some
spirit
,
therefore
I
sayd
my
Pater
noster

my
Aue
Maria
,
but
my
horse
fearefully
treading
,
would
not
go
forward
,
playing
still
puffe
,
puffe
:
and
then
I
added
to
my
deuotion
,
De
profundis
,
the
vertue
whereof
did
leade
my
horse
a
little
further
,
and
when
the

vsed

I
had
no

taking
his
Theame
against

sayd
,
they
would
haue
vs
ioyne
with
them
to
the
word
of
God
:
by
my
faith
I
sweare
to
you
all
,
I
knowe
not
what
they
meane
by
it
,
but
I
knowe
wel
that
to
mingle
a
little
water
to
a
good
deale
of
Wyne
,
is
a
good
coniunction
:
wherat
his
audience
began
so
hartily
to
laugh
,
that
our
fatherly
Fryer
was
fayne
to
say
,
you
haue
laughed
ynough
:
and
then
after
he
had
taken
a
new
breath
,
he
continued
his
purpose
,
saying
,
I
remember
that
this
great
King
Francis
being
in
his
good
Cittie
of
Roane
,
a
Gentleman
of
his
complayned
,
that
there
were
two
clockes
in
the
towne
of
such
discord
,
that
when
the
one
would
strike
.
8.
the
other
would
strike
.
9.
which
came
by
the
faulte
of
those
that
kept
them
.
And
therefore
the
King
commaunded
that
the
clocke
kéepers
should
be
brought
to
drinke
togither
,
which
done
,
their
clockes
accorded
,
and
their
charge
went
orderly
.
And
so
my
maisters
,
if
the
King
(
at
the
last
méeting
and
conuention
at
Poissi
)
had
brought
vs
and
the
Hugenot
ministers
to
haue
once
drunke
togither
,
I
beléeue
,
by
my
faith
,
wée
had
nowe
bin
friendes
,
and
at
a
good
vnitie
and
agréement
:
which
made
his
audience
to
laugh
more
than
at
the
first
.
But
such
as
desire
to
heare
these
kinde
of
comparisons
,
no
doubt
but
if
he
addresse
himselfe
to
our
aged
men
that
he
of
good
memorie
here
in
England
,
he
shall
finde
of
their
olde
store
,
approued
among
our
foregone
Fathers
as
pleasant
as
these
.
It
was
wont
to
be
a
common
prouerbe
,
It
is
as
true
as
God
is
in
the
Masse
,
which
was
so
generally
vsed
,
as
the
world
thought
there
was
no
article
of
religion
so
certaine
,
nor
that
there
was
any
leafe
in
the
Bible
or
newe
Testament
,
but
it
made
mention
of
it
.
And
some
(
to
proue
the
antiquitie
and
troth
of
the
same
)
shamed
not
to
preache
that
Sauoy
,
vsed
to
admonish
his
Parishioners
,
saying
,
Take
héede
you
followe
not
that
reprobate
wretch
Caine
,
who
would
neuer
pay
his
Tythes
nor
heare
Masse
as
he
ought
to
doe
,
but
rather
followe
his
good
brother
Abell
,
who
did
both
with
a
good
will
paye
of
the
best
,
fairest
and
fattest
,
and
neuer
missed
daye
to
heare
Masse
:
whiche
argumente
if
it
bée
true
,
proueth
that
Massing
Priestes
,
were
then
married
:
for
séeing
there
was
onelye
foure
persons
at
that
time
in
the
world
,
Adam
,
Eue
,
Caine
,
and
Abell
,
it
is
to
be
beléeued
,
that
Caine
saide
no
Masse
,
for
that
he
hated
to
come
to
it
:
and
Abell
could
not
saye
Masse
alone
,
and
therefore
it
must
néedes
followe
that
Adam
was
the
Massing
man
,
Abell
did
help
him
,
and
Eue
held
the
torch
,
whereby
is
proued
that
the
first
priest
was
married
.
Vnto
this
Curate
I
may
compare
as
a
companion
,
the
Marie
,
he
founde
hir
on
hir
knées
,
saying
our
Ladie
Mattins
:
and
also
that
Abraham
,
Isaak
,
and
Iacob
,
and
other
the
Patriarkes
,
neuer
layde
them
downe
,
before
they
blessed
themselues
with
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
,
saying
their
Pater
noster
and
Aue
Maria.
But
if
one
should
demaunde
howe
they
know
this
to
be
true
,
it
must
passe
for
currant
coine
,
to
answere
,
he
heard
it
of
some
great
Doctor
.
Who
doubteth
of
the
great
superstition
,
that
those
dreamed
on
,
who
(
at
the
first
)
framed
the
sundry
partes
&
patches
of
the
Masse
:
which
wrought
&
brought
to
perfect
medley
,
was
made
more
vendible
,
than
all
their
trashe
besides
.
By
what
braines
it
was
deuised
,
by
whose
cunning
augmented
,
&
by
what
persons
performed
,
sundry
auntient
authorities
do
witnesse
:
yet
truly
no
portion
of
their
religion
more
to
be
embraced
for
mirth
than
this
:
it
hath
so
many
pleasant
dumb
shewes
,
so
many
strange
mysteries
,
and
so
gallantly
masked
,
that
during
the
play
,
they
stande
at

gaze
,
and
are
amazed

as
it
were
looking

As
a

(

confessed

knew
not

deuision
of
Masses

soules

But
for

he
coulde
course

loued

not

(

findyng
in
an

Almanack
,
Sol
in

,
written
with
red
letters
,
supposed
it
had
bene
the
name
of
some
solemne
Saint
:
and
therefore
endeuored
to
searche
out
what
Masse
shoulde
serue
for
that
day
.
But
in
the
ende
,
when
he
had
well
turned
and
returned
(
twice
or
thrice
)
his
Masse
Booke
ouer
,
and
coulde
fynde
no
suche
Saint
there
,
he
sayde
,
what
a
Diuell
is
this
for
a
Saint
?
Wherevpon
he
concluded
(
in
choller
)
thus
,
Sol
in
Cancro
,
Sol
in

,
nec
est
virgo
nec
martyrus
,

:
which
bycause
it
hath
no
good
grace
in
the
English
,
I
leaue
it
to
maister
parsons
exposition
,
and
will
for
his
better
credite
accompanie
Dort
,
whose
ignoraunce
was
such
,
as
he
knewe
not
what
was
ment
by
the
name
of
Lutheran
,
whether
it
were
the
name
of
a
man
,
or
of
a
beast
,
or
of
any
thing
else
:
for
beyng
so
called
,
(
bycause
he
sayde
In
nomine
Patria
,
&
filia
,
&
spiritua
Sancta
)
he
so
grieued
at
it
,
as
he
desired
his
friende
to
shewe
him
what
that
name
myght
signifie
,
who
persuaded
hym
,
it
was
a
disease
tenne
times
worse
than
the
Leprosie
:
whereat
hée
tooke
suche
a
conceite
(
supposing
it
to
be
some
vnknowne
maladie
)
as
he
sent
his
water
to
the
Phisitions
,
willyng
him
in
any
wyse
to
sende
him
worde
if
he
were
not
sicke
of
a

,
and
to
shewe
him
the
remedie
.
These
morrow
Masse
mates
(
who
commonly
had
more
good
fellowshippe
in
them
,
than
eyther
witte
or
learning
)
were
endowed
with
one
special
condition
,
worthie
to
be
commended
,
for
they
had
Masses
of
all
sortes
,
for
all
diseases
,
of
all
prises
,
and
for
the
humours
of
euerie
man
:
and
therefore
they
knewe
(
if
they
dyd
not
vnbrydle
it
wyth
spéede
,
to
those
that
loued
a
shorte
grace
)
what
fauour
they
shoulde
haue
of
them
.
As
certayne
Gentlemen
of
Fraunce
,
blessed
their
Chaplaine
,
who
hauyng
hast
of
their
iourney
,
desyred
the
Priest
(
in
lieu
of
a
hunting
Masse
)
to
giue
them
the
Masse
of
a
Souldior
,
supposing
it
to
be
one
of
the
shortest
.
The
Parson
perusing
his
Portas
,
coulde
not
fynde
anye
Gospell
that
made
mention
of
men
of
warre
,
excepte
in
the
Passion
,
where
it
is
written
.
Cum
fustibus
&
armis
,
with
Clubbes
and
other
Weapons
,
&c.
And
therefore
brought
the
whole
Passion
in
his
Masse
:
which
made
his
audience
in
such
a
rage
at
hym
,
as
they
cursed
both
the
sacrifice
,
and
the
sacrifycer
:
for
they
were
booted
and
spurred
,
and
their
horses
readie
to
founder
at
the
Church
dore
,
staying
for
them
.
The
onely
madnesse
that
holdeth
the
world
in
this
Massing
Frensie
,
consisteth
in
the
vaine
hope
they
haue
to
frée
their
friendes
out
of
Purgatorie
:
wherevnto
they
haue
some
reason
,
when
the
Memento
of
one
Masse
alone
(
and
at
one
instant
)
deliuered

99.
Soules
from
thence
.
And
the
Parson
being
asked
why
he
lefte
an
odde
behynde
,
And
if
it
may
be
tollerable
(
among
so
many
bad
matters
)
Fraunce
,
yet
persited
by
an
opinion
of
the
Masse
,
I
wil
shew
you
the
historie
.
This
Magistrate
meanyng
for
money
to
saue
a
notable
Théefe
,
and
to
auoyde
the
slaunder
in
iustice
,
caused
an
honest
poore
man
to
be
brought
before
him
,
whom
he
saide
he
had
long
sought
for
,
and
that
he
had
committed
such
&
suche
sundry
crimes
worthy
death
:
the
poore
soule
standing
vpon
his
innocencie
,
stoutly
denied
al.
But
this
Prouost
resolued
in
his
wretched
purpose
,
persuaded
him
,
saying
,
if
he
did
confesse
it
,
he
would
cause
so
many
Masses
to
be
said
for
him
,
&
so
his
soule
should
be
sure
of
Paradize
:
but
if
he
denied
it
,
he
should
notwithstanding
be
hanged
and
goe
straight
to
the
diuell
,
for
he
would
suffer
no
one
Masse
to
be
said
for
him
:
the
poore
man
hearing
of
hanging
and
going
to
the
Diuel
,
was
greatly
afraide
,
&
supposed
if
he
must
néedes
die
,
it
were
better
to
gaine
those
Masses
and
goe
to
God
:
so
in
the
ende
he
answered
,
that
he
did
not
remember
he
had
committed
any
such
faultes
as
they
charged
him
,
but
if
they
knew
it
better
than
himself
,
&
that
they
were
assured
it
was
true
,
he
would
(
so
the
Masses
might
be
sayd
for
him
)
take
his
death
in
good
part
:
who
had
no
sooner
spoken
that
word
but
he
was
caried
to
execution
in
the
place
of
the
théefe
.
The
persuasion
of
the
Masses
to
kéepe
him
out
of
Purgatorie
led
this
innocent
to
his
death
.
To
the
maintenance
whereof
Erasmus
reciteth
howe
a
All
Soules
night
fastened
to
the
bodies
of
sundrie
small
Creuices
certaine
waxe
lightes
,
scattering
them
among
the
graues
in
the
Church
yarde
(
which
séemed
verie
terrible
to
behold
in
the
dead
of
the
night
as
all
the
lookers
on
were
astonied
at
the
feareful
and
strange
sight
of
it
,
whervpon
this
Priest
in
his
Sermons
published
that
they
were
the
spirites
and
soules
of
such
,
as
sought
to
be
deliuered
from
the
pain
they
endured
in
Purgatorie
,
by
Masses
and
almesdéedes
,
which
craft
was
shortly
knowne
,
for
some
of
those
spirites
were
found
with
their
Candels
cleaning
to
them
:
and
that
vnripped
the
packe
of
this
Popish
knauerie
.
And
the
same
Erasmus
in
the
two
and
twentith
booke
of
his
epistles
,
sheweth
further
how
a
night
ghost
was
consured
:
Erasmus

22.
of
his
Epi.
for
(
sayeth
he
)
there
was
a
certaine
Prieste
that
helde
his
Néece
in
the
house
with
him
,
who
had
good
store
of
money
:
and
to
the
ende
to
drawe
somewhat
from
hir
,
he
lapped
himselfe
in
a
shéete
,
and
towardes
midnight
entred
hyr
Chamber
,
counterfayting
a
spirite
:
the
woman
that
was
wise
,
perceyued
in
part
the
mistery
,
and
therefore
caused
another
of
hir
kinsemen
the
nexte
night
to
come
and
lye
secretlye
in
the
Chamber
by
hir
:
who
in
lieu
of
a
coniuring
booke
brought
a
good
cudgell
,
filling
hys
heade
with
drinke
to
be
the
hardyer
:
the
spyrite
appearyng
(
as
afore
)
beganne
wyth
hys
fearefull
noyse
pitifullye
to
cry
,
when
the
Coniurer
(
who
had
not
yet
disgested
hys
Wine
)
sodainely
sette
vppon
him
,
and
so
basted
hym
on
both
sides
,
saying
if
thou
be
the
Diuel
I
am
hys
Damme
,
as
he
had
vtterly
spoyled
him
if
he
had
not
the
sooner
discouered
himselfe
.
In

1569.

certayne
seruaunts
belonging
to
one
of
greate
worshippe
,
who
made
no
accounte
of
the
suttle
secte
of
the
Iesuites
.
Wherevppon
a
foule
of
the
same
feather
,
promised
theyr
Mayster
hée
woulde
easilye
remoue
that
opinion
from
them
,
to
the
performaunce
whereof
,
he
disguised
himselfe
into
hymselfe
,
and
putte
on
the
habite
(
of
hys
firste
founder
)
the
Diuell
:
And
after
hyding
hym
in
a
corner
of
the
house
,
to
the
whyche
place
one
of
the
mayde
seruauntes
by
hyr
Maysters
appoyntment
was
sent
,
thys
Iesuite
in
the
forme
of
a
diuel
so
feared
hir
,
as
she
had
like
to
haue
gone
oute
of
hir
wittes
:
whiche
she
presently
reported
to
one
of
hir
Masters
men
,
persuading
him
in
no
case
to
come
neare
that
way
.
The
felow
notwithstanding
thought
to
proue
whether
hir
feare
procéeded
of
any
assured
cause
,
wente
to
trye
it
:
vppon
whome
this
Iesuite
diuell
,
or
Diuell
Iesuite
(
in
the
moste
horriblest
manner
he
might
)
fastened
his
counterfaite
tallants
.
The
fellowe
partely
prouided
afore
(
looking
for
some
such
mater
)
drew
out
his
dagger
,
&
wrought
a
myracle
,
by
killing
of
the
diuell
.
Thus
you
may
sée
,
that
the
opinion
whiche
euerye
one
had
in
their
holinesse
,
furnished
them
with
all
diuelishe
inuentions
to
maintaine
the
same
:
And
therefore
we
ought
greatly
to
reioyce
(
in
God
and
our
Quéene
)
that
the
true
profession
of
the
Gospel
hathe
so
opened
the
eyes
of
Englande
,
that
we
may
beholde
all
their
abuses
,
in
their
perfect
kind
.
For
now
God
wil
not
suffer
,
that
such
(
which
purely
(
in
faith
and
sinceritie
)
call
vppon
his
holy
name
in
Iesus
Christe
his
son
)
shall
feare
or
doubt
any
of
those
damnable
deuises
:
where
before
they
were
wont
(
by
their
daily
familiaritie
with
the
Diuel
(
to
haue
him
continuallye
conuersant
among
them
:
)
p●actising
by
spirites
(
his
instrumentes
of
darkenesse
)
to
holde
the
worlde
in
blind
errors
.
Whiche
a
Protestant
alleadging
to
a
Papist
,
for
the
better
signe
and
token
of
our
true
profession
,
sayde
:
You
maye
the
sooner
vnderstande
by
this
,
that
our
re●igion
is
good
and
sound
doctrine
:
For
since
Gods
word
was
preached
among
vs
,
we
haue
not
séene
nor
heard
of
any
night
ghosts
to
trouble
vs
.
The
other
supposing
this
argument
to
serue
beste
for
his
purpose
,
replyed
,
saying
,
it
is
rather
a
token
that
God
hath
taken
his
grace
from
you
,
for
that
nowe
the
Diuell
hath
no
more
to
do
,
considering
he
doth
accompt
you
al
his
owne
.
Alleadging
this
example
,
written
by
Eneas
Siluius
sometime
Pope
Pius
the
2.
whiche
hée
tooke
out
of
the
Legend
of
Saint
Benet
,
and
the
historie
is
thus
:
Saint
Benet
trauailed
to
a
Couent
of
Monkes
,
where
he
founde
a
heape
of
vncleane
Spirites
combatting
with
the
holy
Fathers
of
that
place
:
and
all
to
remoue
them
from
theyr
good
workes
.
Sainte
Benet
at
another
time
returning
to
the
Abbey
,
found
an
euil
spirite
sitting
idlely
wagging
his
legges
,
and
beating
his
héeles
togyther
with
cold
:
whom
he
coniured
to
shew
him
the
cause
of
hys
idlenesse
:
he
aunsweared
,
we
are
to
make
wars
wyth
Cloystermen
and
such
as
be
the
seruauntes
of
God
,
and
not
against
those
whose
dreames
,
trumperies
,
and
blasphemies
do
already
serue
the
Diuel
.
This
was
well
applyed
,
if
Sainte
Benet
had
bene
by
to
haue
paraphrased
further
vppon
it
:
for
none
wil
deny
but
that
the
suttletie
of
the
Diuil
is
suche
,
as
he
séeketh
to
encrease
hys
kyngdome
by
all
the
meanes
he
may
:
and
howe
can
hys
glorie
be
greater
,
than
to
kéepe
that
carefully
which
he
hath
gotten
cunningly
:
And
also
it
is
a
general
rule
,
that
a
conqueror
doth
triumph
in
nothyng
more
than
in
holding
in
due
obedience
,
those
that
are
become
his
vassals
,
which
must
be
by
the
presence
of
him selfe
,
or
by
his
chiefest
ministers
.
And
seing
the
Diuel
wanteth
no
experience
,
hauing
as
much
foresight
as
so
proude
a
Spirite
may
haue
if
we
be
so
assuredly
hys
owne
as
that
Papist
would
make
vs
,
he
woulde
not
be
from
vs
in
person
as
a
friend
to
fauor
vs
,
or
in
power
as
a
iealious
foe
to
lose
vs
,
considering
the
holy
league
(
so
termed
)
by
the
consent
of
so
mightie
Papists
,
haue
promised
to
make
vs
reuolt
(
if
it
be
as
the
petie
Papist
sayeth
)
from
him
.
But
,
as
it
is
only
natural
reason
that
those
grosse
creatures
of
the
Popes
desire
to
be
satisfied
by
,
so
in
reason
they
know
it
is
as
much
wisedome
&
policie
to
kéep
,
as
it
is
prayse
&
glorie
to
get
,
whiche
in
my
opinion
,
the
féend
would
foresée
as
a
principle
,
if
he
held
vs
so
dear
,
as
this
his
darling
(
winning
that
gole
,
in
his
own
conceyt
,
with
one
stroke
)
alleageth
he
doth
:
&
therfore
it
is
to
be
beléeued
,
the
Diuel
wil
not
dwel
but
where
he
hath
some
interest
,
and
may
be
welcome
:
And
the
which
is
most
true
,
the
Pope
his
best
beloued
,
as
he
cannot
forbear
him
,
so
he
dare
not
spare
him
so
far
of
,
séeing
Gods
warriours
are
comming
with
a
rolling
crench
towards
him
.
And
as
in
al
martial
marches
,
there
are
euer
some
straglers
,
who
care
neither
for
Country
,
Captain
,
nor
cause
,
but
follow
only
to
pray
vpon
the
spoyle
of
others
:
so
the
Papistes
of
present
time
,
that
séeme
to
muster
vnder
the
banner
of
true
Christians
(
vexed
with
the
frensie
of
these
forlorne
spirites
in
the
image
of
Englishmen
)
come
rogyng
and
stragling
among
vs
,
(
as
a
newe
founde
Iesuite
of
late
did
)
who
couet
nothing
more
than
the
ruine
of
theyr
Country
,
that
they
mighte
(
with
the
Diuell
theyr
Maister
)
haue
a
part
in
the
bloudye
bootie
.
But
to
proue
indéed
,
howe
Sathan
the
chiefe
Maister
of
sinne
,
dare
not
be
where
the
word
of
God
is
truelye
taughte
,
the
sacred
Scriptures
in
euerye
text
doe
testifye
:
As

&c.
Although
the
inuention
of
man
be
greate
,
whose
proude
iudgement
hath
presumed
on
many
things
:
yet
truely
,
hys
iniquitie
(
in
his
own
nature
)
did
neuer
deuise
a
more
damnable
blasphemie
against
God
and
his
Saints
,
than
that
booke
entituled
Legenda
Aurea
.
Wherein
there
are
many
passages
so
far
from
Decorum
,
that
if
the
reader
be
tender
harted
or
squeamish
stomacked
,
it
wil
make
them
Seasicke
to
peruse
them
.
As
for
a
first
example
:
Frier
Iuniperus
(
whom
Saint
Francis
helde
for
a
very
holy
and
most
perfit
godly
man
)
woulde
to
shew
his
singlenesse
in
deuotion
be
cooke
one
daye
to
the
whole
Couent
:
where
setting
a
great
Caudron
of
water
ouer
the
fire
,
he
put
thereinto
certaine
Pullets
,
neither
plumed
,
drawne
nor
washed
:
and
al
other
kinde
of
flesh
as
wel
freshe
as
saulte
,
with
sundrye
sortes
of
Hearbes
,
and
with
Pease
,
beanes
,
and
al
maner
of
Pults
,
picking
nor
clensing
any
thing
.
And
hauing
boyled
al
this
braue
broth
togither
,
he
serued
it
in
the
same
comely
sort
to
his
company
:
whych
was
taken
for
simplicitie
sake
to
be
the
true
part
of
a
saint
.
The
same
Iuniperus
,
being
(
in
respect
of
hys
deuotion
)
layde
in
a
good
bedde
and
a
fayre
payre
of
Sheetes
,
dyd
so
dungnifie
them
with
durt
,
as
his
hostesse
was
faine
to
take
it
for
payment
,
without
a
farewell
.
These
two
religious
partes
,
were
to
his
singular
praise
(
for
simple
holinesse
)
set
forth
,
in
the
Conformities
of
Saint
Frauncis
,
in
the
62.
and
63.
leaues
.
Whiche
honeste
histories
are
there
recited
,
to
shewe
the
humilitie
of
this
holy
Fryer
.
And
it
may
be
there
was
more
mysterie
in
the
naturall
course
of
those
Crucifire
Cormorants
,
than
in
anye
other
common
creatures
:
For
Fryer
Ruffin
(
mentioned
of
in
the
same
Booke
)
made
the
Diuell
more
afraid
,
by
threatning
that
Where
it
is
shamefully
recited
in
plain●
termes
.
he
would
vntrusse
a
point
in
his
throate
,
than
with
al
the
holywater
he
had
:
which
argueth
,
that
those
grosse
mates
fed
on
some
sacred
substance
:
otherwise
,
the
Diuel
would
neuer
(
with
such
feare
)
haue
fled
so
filthie
a
perfume
.
Pardon
me
good
Reader
,
for
my
vndecent
speeches
,
for
I
muste
accommodate
my
termes
in
parte
to
the
purpose
:
And
it
is
an
o●de
Prouerbe
,
that
it
is
hard
to
apply
honest
words
to
vnhonest
workes
:
and
as
Chaucer
saith
,
a
plaine
tale
muste
haue
plaine
termes
.
Who
can
forbeare
to
laugh
and
reade
the
life
of
Saint
Dominike
,
howe
he
besieged
certain
Diuels
within
the
body
of
a
man
,
from
whence
he
woulde
not
suffer
them
to
departe
,
before
they
had
gyuen
him
pledges
to
returne
no
more
thither
?
And
howe
Saint
Frauncis
to
proue
his
virginitie
did
strippe

starcke
naked
before
the
Bishoppe
of
Assise
,
and
gaue
the
Bishop
his
bréeches
for
a
relique
.
Euen
as
he
was
,
so
were
his
Disciples
:
for
Fryer
Leonard
comming
to
the
gate
of
Viterbe
,
pulled
off
all
his
Saint
Frauncis
should
passe
,
&
be
placed
in
al
quarters
of
the
world
:
and
that
he
shoulde
be
renowmed
on
the
earth
aboue
all
other
professors
.
Also
that
Saint
Frauncis
and
a
Nytingale
did
sing
togither
a
whole
day
the
one
aunswering
Saint
Francis
hand
,
who
commaunded
the
Wolfe
(
as
his
good
brother
)
in
the
name
of
Iesus
Christe
to
goe
with
him
,
which
he
did
.
We
reade
likewise
of
many
other
Saints
that
had
a
speciall
felicitie
to
be
conuersant
&
to
deuise
with
beastes
,
but
I
beléeue
that
the
fraternitie
and
felowship
of
Wolues
,
was
onely
peculiar
to
Saint
Frauncis
.
Is
it
not
a
mockerie
to
reade
,
that
Saint
Macaire
did

yeres
penance
among
thornes
&
bryars
,
for
killing
of
a
flea
?
And
who
can
forbeare
to
laugh
at
an
other
part
of
Saint
Dominike
recited
towards
the
end
of
his
legend
?
which
is
,
that
a
Nunne
named
Mary
,
hauing
a
griefe
in
hir
thigh
,
that
had
greatly
troubled
hir
the
space
of
fiue
months
,
(
&
in
the
end
acknowledging
hir
vnworthines
to
pray
to
God
,
or
to
be
heard
of
him
)
she
prayed
to
Saint
Dominike
,
that
he
woulde
be
a
mediatour
betwéene
God
and
hir
,
that
she
might
recouer
hir
health
.
After
which
deuotions
,
Saint
Dominike
came
to
hir
in
hir
sléepe
,
and
with
an
ointment
that
he
tooke
from
vnder
his
Cope
(
which
was
of
excelling
sauor
)
he
anointed
hir
thigh
&
made
hir
whole
:
And
when
she
asked
the
name
of
so
soueraigne
a
remedy
,
he
answered
it
was
the
ointment
and
balm
of
Loue
.
For
the
further
iudgement
thereof
,
I
leaue
it
to
the
discretion
of
the
reader
,
whose
imagination
,
I
suppose
,
wil
ioine
with
mine
:
which
truly
is
no
worse
,
than
the

that

to
put
in
print
,
the
where
a
Iacobin
named
Alaine
,
did
forge
our
Ladies
Psalter
,
she
,
in
recompence
of
it
,
came
to
his
chamber
,
&
made
him
a
ring
of
hir
haire
,
wherwith
she
married
him
,
&
how
she
kissed
him
,
and
offered
him
hir
paps
to
play
with
,
&
that
she
was
as
familiar
with
him
,
as
any
wife
coulde
be
with
hir
husband
.
In
the
Legend
of
S.
Germaine
is
shewed
how
the
king
of
Denmarke
denying
to
him
and
his
company
lodging
,
he
was
fain
to
séeke
it
at
the
Neatherds
hand
,
who
receiued
him
gently
,
broughte
him
to
his
house
,
and
hauing
but
one
Calfe
did
kil
it
for
S.
Germaine
and
his
company
,
that
were
like
to
perish
with
hunger
&
cold
.
But
after
supper
he
caused
the
skin
&
bones
of
the
Veale
to
be
brought
togither
to
him
,
whervpon
when
he
had
made
his
prayers
,
the
Calfe
did
rise
into
his
first
proportion
of
life
againe
.
And
the
next
morning
he
went
to
the
king
,
vsing
great
&
grosse
spéeches
vnto
him
,
commaunding
him
out
of
his
kingdome
,
&
established
the
cowherd
in
his
place
,
which
he
&
his
successors
enioyed
for
euer
after
.
He
that
desireth
to
heare
more
of
these
fables
,
shall
find
his
fil
of
them
in
the
Legend
of
the
Saints
liues
:
where
this
,
&
much
worse
matter
is
written
for
a
truth
of
them
.
And
also
Nicephorus
reciteth
,
that
manye
yeares
after
S.
Iohn
Chrisostome
,
his
body
did
dayly
speake
,
&
would
both
aske
&
answere
to
questions
.
And
that
the
Emperour
Theodosius
did
write
letters
to
him
.
But
the
Booke
called
the
Conformities
of
S.
Francis
with
Iesus
Christ
,
mentioned
of
so
oft
afore
,
was
neuer
compiled
without
the
aide
and
consent
of
the
Diuell
himselfe
:
For
,
one
of
the
greatest
myracles
that
Christe
héere
on
earth
didde
,
was
the
raysing
of
Lazarus
from
deathe
to
life
:
which
was
as
common
and
easie
to
S.
Francis
and
his
Disciples
,
as
it
was
to
drincke
a
glasse
of
Wine
.
And
S.
Francis
vsed
it
as
a
sporte
,
to
kil
:
to
the
end
he
would
shew
his
power
to
quicken
againe
,
as
is
recited
in
these
proper
wordes
,
in
the
leafe
120.
Locus

The
valor
say
they
of
Christ
,
was
nothing
comparable
to
the
myracles
of
S.
Francis
for
Christ
was
transfigured
but
once
,
S.
Francis
20.
times
:
Christ
changed
water
into
wine
but
once
,
he
thrice
:
Christ
suffred
the
griefe
of
his
woundes
but
a
little
while
,
he
whole
two
yeare
togither
:
And
as
concerning
myracles
to
make
the
blind
to
sée
,
the
lame
to
goe
,
and
to
driue
Diuels
oute
of
the
possessed
,
Christe
cannot
compare
with
S.
Francis
and
his
followers
.
For
they
haue
giuen
sight
to
more
than
a
thou●and
blind
,
they
haue
restored
the
limmes
to
more
than
a
thousand
lame
(
as
wel
men
as
beasts
)
and
they
haue
forced
the
Diuel
to
flye
out
of
more
than
a
thousand
menne
and
women
.
Is
it
possible
that
any
Christian
eare
coulde
heare
them
preach
these
horrible
blasphemies
in
open
Pulpit
,
&
not
spit
in
their
face
,
or
rather
teare
them
in
péeces
?
Yea
,
when
they
were
not
ashamed
to
conclude
,
that
Christe
was
but
a
counterfaite
to
S.
Frauncis
,
and
in
these
damnable
termes
,
that
he
was
not
worthy
to
pull
off
his
hose
:
affirming
with
full
gorge
,
that
he
did
far
excel
&
surpasse
the
Apostles
,
the
Saints
,
&
al
the
Angels
:
And
in
the
17.
leafe
it
is
said
he
was
a
Patriarke
,
a
Prophet
,
a
Postle
,
a
Martyre
,
a
Doctor
,
a
Confessor
,
a
Virgin
,
an
Angell
,
&
a
Saint
most
conformed
to
Iesus
Christ
.
And
in
so
.
49.
they
name
the
12.
Apostles
of
S.
Francis
,
Petrus
Chatanei
,
Iohannes
de
Capella
,
Philippus
Longus
,
&c.
And
as
Iudas
Iscarioth
was
reiected
out
of
the
felowship
of
the
Apostles
,
for
betraying
their
Maister
Christ
:
so
Iohannes
de
Capella
was
deiected
from
S.
Frauncis
,
bicause
he
was
proued
to
detest
his
profession
.
And
further
,
they
do
ascribe
vnto
hym
the
title
of
Iesus
of
Nazareth
King
of
the
Iewes
:
For
firste
they
inuested
hym
wyth
the
title
of
Iesus
,
bycause
he
was
in
nature
,
qualitie
,
condition
,
and
conformitie
,
moste
like
vnto
him
:
And
of
Nazareth
,
for
that
he
was
a
moste
pure
virgin
:
They
called
him
King
bicause
he
kept
both
the
inward
and
the
outwarde
laws
:
And
for
that
he
was
full
of
melodie
and
ioy
,
soliciting
all
the
world
to
the
prayse
&
honor
of
God
,
they
sayde
it
was
a
speciall
signification
of
the
Iewes
.
Beholde
the
conclusion
of
this
most
diuelishe
and
infernall
inuention
of
the
Popes
Saints
,
which
ascended
to
the
highest
degrée
of
most
vngodly
blasphemie
.
It
is
no
maruel
though
they
helde
him
(
and
others
hys
like
)
in
that
curssed
credite
:
when
they
so
bewitched
the
wits
of
all
men
,
as
they
thought
no
reuerence
too
muche
,
to
be
(
with
great
deuotion
)
done
,
to
any
parte
or
parcel
of
them
:
yea
,
and
it
were
but
to
a
patche
of
their
apparell
.
As
at
Tryer
in
the
Abbey
of
S.
Symon
,
they
helde
the
Pantaphles
of
S.
Ioseph
for
a
great
relike
:
And
at
Aix
in
Germanie
his
bréeches
,
and
our
Ladies
smocke
:
The
smocke
greate
ynough
for
a
Giant
,
and
the
bréeches
too
lyttle
for
a
Dwarffe
:
And
in
some
places
they
reuerenced
for
relikes
their
pottes
and
their
spoones
:
And
at
Gennes
they
honored
the
Asses
taile
that
carryed
Christ
:
and
in
Loraine
the
holy
Hay
that
was
in
the
racke
where
Christ
was
borne
:
At
Arles
among
the
Augustines
,
at
Vigand
in
Languedock
,
and
at
Florence
the
stones
that
stoned
S.
Stephen
were
hadde
in
great
price
:
They
also
honored
the
Arrowes
that
were
shot
at
S.
Sebastian
in
Poictiers
,
and
at
Lambeske
in
Prouance
.
And
in
my
opinion
,
séeing
the
Stones
and
arrowes
were
accompted
so
holy
,
the
Archers
and
Stone-casters
were
worthy
some
glorie
.
But
to
the
ende
the
Reader
shal
not
muse
ouer
much
vpon
these
suttleties
,
to
shewe
that
the
world
had
no
eyes
,
neither
in
their
heads
,
nor
in
their
vnderstanding
,
but
as
willingly
or
wilfully
blinde
suffered
themselues
to
bed
led
into
all
absurditie
:
I
wil
recite
a
certaine
historie
,
whereby
you
may
the
better
beholde
their
simple
follie
.
When
Nicodemus
tooke
our
sauiour
Christe
from
the
Crosse
,
he
saued
so
muche
of
hys
bloude
as
filled
one
of
the
Iewes
,
he
was
compelled
in
the
end
to
conuey
it
awaye
by
a
maruellous
meanes
.
For
he
didde
write
in
a
péece
of
parchment
,
al
the
myracles
he
had
done
,
with
the
whole
circumstance
how
the
misterie
shoulde
be
vsed
,
and
closed
the
bloud
with
the
parchment
in
the
bill
of
a
bigge
water
fowle
(
for
my
Author
maketh
no
mention
of
his
name
)
and
hauing
bounde
it
and
trimmed
it
in
the
beste
manner
he
myght
,
he
caste
it
into
the
Sea
,
and
commended
it
to
God
.
Whose
blessed
wil
was
,
that
after
this
Saint
Bill
(
by
the
time
and
terme
of
1000.
or
1200.
yeares
)
had
sayled
through
al
the
Weasterne
and
Easterne
seas
,
it
shoulde
in
the
ende
arriue
in
Normandie
,
where
at
this
day
doth
stande
the
Abbey
of
Bill
:
And
beyng
by
the
boysterous
billowes
caste
ashoare
among
other
baggage
,
on
a
heape
of
bushes
,
it
hapned
a
good
Duke
of
Normandie
(
one
that
was
a
founder
to
such
follies
in
those
daies
)
to
be
hunting
of
a
Hart
in
those
quarters
,
where
sodainely
he
hadde
loste
bothe
Déere
and
Dogges
,
til
at
last
he
spyed
them
before
thys
bushe
all
on
their
knées
,
the
Hart
first
,
and
the
houndes
harde
behinde
him
:
and
as
some
write
,
they
were
at
theyr
prayers
.
This
sight
moued
the
Duke
to
greate
deuotion
,
who
reuerentlye
sought
the
place
,
where
he
founde
thys
pretious
Bill
with
the
contents
thereof
:
whych
caused
him
to
build
an
Abbey
in
the
honor
of
it
,
naming
it
the
Abbey
of
Saint
Bill
,
where
this
beautifull
myracle
is
yet
to
be
séene
,
adorned
wyth
such
sundrye
riches
,
as
this
Bill
doth
now
féede
a
number
of
bellies
.
Here
is
to
be
noted
,
howe
euidentlye
and
impudentlye
they
didde
mocke
the
pore
Idiots
in
that
age
:
For
,
when
they
did
open
the
shop
of
their
shamelesse
relikes
,
how
boldly
would
they
brag
of
their
rotten
merchandize
?
As
behold
here
in
this
viole
the
bloud
of
our
sauiour
Christ
gathered
togither
vnder
the
Crosse
by
the
virgin
Mary
:
And
in
thys
other
viole
,
is
the
teares
of
our
Redéemer
,
that
hée
dydde
shedde
on
the
Crosse
,
when
he
behelde
his
pitifull
mother
:
Here
is
the
milke
of
our
Ladies
breastes
,
the
haire
of
hir
head
,
and
the
sooadling
bandes
wherewith
she
firste
rolled
Christe
at
his
byrth
:
And
in
this
bottle
(
whyche
may
not
in
any
wise
be
opened
)
is
the
very
breath
of
Iesus
Chryste
curiously
kepte
by
his
mother
euer
since
hée
was
a
lyttle
one
.
As
a
Priest
at
Gene
,
returning
from
Iewrie
,
affyrmed
he
brought
wyth
him
of
the
same
breath
,
and
from
Mount
Synay
the
hornes
of
Moses
.
These
shamelesse
shewes
of
theyr
trumperie
,
if
anye
did
finde
faulte
or
speake
against
them
,
be
was
condemned
for
an
heretike
:
For
it
was
(
they
wold
say
)
allowed
and
confirmed
by
the
Popes
Holinesse
,
to
be
most
true
,
and
therefore
damnable
to
thinke
the
contrary
.
I
leaue
to
recite
their
infinite
store
of
trash
,
which
by
their
runnagate
Pardoners
were
made
as
vendible
as
these
.
As
one
that
carried
about
the
relikes
of
Saint
Hubart
(
to
Saint
Hubart
to
be
healed
.
Among
this
rabblement
of
Relickes
,
I
must
néedes
intrude
Iesuite
,
who
,
to
obserue
the
straight
lawes
of
their
religion
,
had
his
Concubine
close
in
his
bed
to
help
him
say
his
Mattins
at
midnight
:
And
his
boy
or
Nouice
comming
vp
in
the
morning
(
by
chance
they
both
asléepe
)
he
saw
foure
naked
féete
hang
out
of
the
bed
,
whereat
he
was
so
amazed
,
as
he
sodainely
put
his
head
out
at
the
windowe
,
and
mainely
cryed
:
ho
,
come
sée
a
myracle
,
for
my
Mayster
hathe
foure
legges
.
And
further
,
to
shewe
their
aucthoritie
for
the
proofe
of
their
Images
,
which
they
honored
with
reuerence
due
only
to
God
,
it
will
euery
way
appéere
to
be
as
bad
&
as
absurde
as
the
rest
.
For
a
Legate
of
the
Popes
to
the
orientall
Churches
,
didde
alleadge
for
Saintes
,
the
texte
of
Moses
:
God
created
Man
to
his
owne
Image
:
and
therefore
hée
affirmed
,
we
ought
to
haue
Images
.
An
other
to
proue
that
Images
muste
be
vppon
the
Aultare
:
brought
in
the
5.
of
Mathewe
for
a
witnesse
:
where
Christe
sayeth
,
that
none
lighteth
a
Candle
,
and
couereth
it
with
a
bushell
,
but
setteth
it
vppon
a
candle
sticke
,
to
light
al
the
house
with
.
An
other
alleadging
,
that
the
sight
of
Images
was
profitable
,
bringeth
the
4.
Psalme
for
proofe
:
The
light
of
thy
countenaunce
,
O
Lorde
,
is
marked
vpon
vs
.
And
Theodorus
brought
in
this
suttletie
,
It
is
written
,
that
God
is
maruellous
in
his
Saintes
:
And
therfore
he
would
haue
vs
to
contemplate
his
glory
in
Images
:
And
one
affirmed
this
similitude
,
that
as
the
Patriarkes
vsed
the
sacrifice
of
the
Infidels
,
so
Christians
ought
to
haue
Images
,
in
lieu
of
their
Idols
.
Here
you
may
sée
their
faire
allegations
,
approued
by
some
of
their
generall
counsels
and
preched
in
their
common
sermons
:
by
which
places
of
Scripture
they
abused
sundrie
of
good
capacitie
and
iudgement
:
And
yet
the
simplest
might
sée
how
farre
they
erred
from
the
true
meaning
of
the
Text.
A
Sorbonist
Doctor
named
Demochares
(
of
late
yeares
at
the
Conuention
of
Poissi
in
Fraunce
)
pleading
in
the
defence
of
Images
,
agaynste
a
minister
of
Gods
worde
,
when
he
was
sette
agrounde
and
sawe
hys
owne
ouerthrowe
,
he
shamed
not
to
take
holde
on
this
allegation
:
gation
:
That
the
Church
of
Saint
Benets
in
Poissi
was
builded
in
the
time
of
Saint
Denise
,
and
there
was
images
in
the
glasse
Windowes
:
Ergo
there
were
Images
in
Sainte
Denise
time
:
you
haue
wel
aunsweared
sayd
the
Minister
,
with
a
good
grace
like
a
Doctour
,
and
with
matter
sufficient
,
pertinent
to
the
purpose
:
but
that
the
best
substaunce
of
your
brittle
authority
is
altogither
of
glasse
.
With
what
sorts
of
superstition
dyd
they
leade
the
world
when
they
made
so
deare
sale
of
these
fantastike
sightes
,
or
rather
infernall
vanities
,
compelling
the
simple
people
sometime
,
to
honor
the
presence
of
hys
image
here
,
whose
soule
was
with
the
Diuell
elsewhere
:
As
an
auntiente
Doctour
writeth
,
Multorum
corpora
adorantur
in
terris
,
quorum
animae
cruciantur
in
infernis
How
were
they
blinded
with
the
filthy
and
most
stinking
sinne
of
Idolatry
,
when
in
time
of
most
peril
,
and
at
the
instant
of
their
deathes
euery
one
had
some
peculiar
Saint
to
call
vpon
:
and
such
they
were
commonly
,
as
in
theyr
liues
they
did
most
deuotion
and
honor
vnto
:
cleane
forgetting
God
in
the
merite
of
hys
sonne
Iesus
Christ
.
As
Erasmus
making
mention
of
a
shipwracke
,
sheweth
,
that
when
the
maister
of
the
shippe
saw
no
remedy
S.
Christopher
to
remember
hym
,
promysing
,
that
he
would
present
him
with
a
Taper
light
,
as
long
and
as
great
as
the
Maste
of
the
ship
:
another
standing
by
&
hearing
his
offer
(
who
knew
his
termes
and
state
very
wel
)
said
,
how
canst
thou
performe
thy
vow
,
when
al
the
welth
thou
hast
is
not
worth
so
much
waxe
as
the
Mast
is
big
:
to
whom
he
replyed
,
speaking
it
softly
(
that
S.
Christopher
shoulde
not
heare
hym
)
saying
,
hold
thy
peace
friend
,
I
wil
promise
much
to
haue
his
helpe
now
,
but
if
I
get
once
to
shore
,
I
will
scant
giue
him
a
Candle
as
big
as
my
finger
.
Not
much
vnlike
vnto
this
was
the
pleasaunt
parte
of
a
Tayler
of
Florence
,
who
had
a
long
time
(
with
great
deuotion
)
Apo.
Ste
Fo.
118.
honored
the
Image
of
Saint
Baptist
,
and
one
daye
on
both
his
knées
,
he
humbly
desired
to
know
whether
his
wife
(
at
any
time
)
had
wantonly
abused
him
,
and
what
fortune
should
folow
his
only
son
.
A
yong
Nouice
(
trayned
vp
to
al
knauishe
toyes
)
happened
to
ouer-heare
his
petition
:
who
stepped
behinde
the
Aultar
,
and
fayning
the
voyce
of
Saint
Iohn
,
aunswered
him
:
My
deare
friend
and
faithfull
folower
,
for
thy
long
reuerent
worshipping
,
&
deuotion
thou
haste
done
vnto
me
,
I
will
truely
tell
thée
:
thy
wife
hath
ofte
horned
thy
head
,
and
thy
son
shal
be
shortly
hanged
:
wherefore
departe
in
peace
,
since
thy
Prayers
be
hearde
:
whereat
our
Florentine
entring
into
a
great
rage
,
did
rise
&
toke
his
leaue
wythout
a
farewel
,
but
when
he
was
a
little
past
from
him
(
vsing
no
reuerence
of
Cappe
or
knée
)
he
turned
and
saide
:
what
art
thou
for
a
Saint
?
the
Nouice
aunswered
,
I
am
thy
Saint
Baptist
:
My
Saint
(
quoth
he
)
thou
art
the
diuel
,
a
lier
,
foule
mouthed
,
and
a
slaunderer
,
which
thou
hast
vsed
from
the
beginning
.
For
that
babling
false
tong
of
thine
,
caused
Herode
worthyly
to
cutte
off
thy
head
.
I
haue
prayed

cha.
to
thée
this
25.
yeare
and
haue
offered
more
light
before
thée
,
than
I
am
worth
:
But
now
holding
vp
his
fist
towards
him
,
&
offring
him

I
wil
sée
thée

about

,
it
fortuned
a
Tilestone
to
fal
from
the
house
vpon
his
childs
head
,
&
wounded
him
to
the
death
,
which
the
Father
perceyuing
,
came
to
hys
yong
S.

,
&
brought
him
a
fayre
waxe
light
for
a
presente
(
where
hée
was
wont
to
offer
only
a
tallow
Candle
)
vsing
this
prayer
:
my
most
swéete
litle
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
I
pray
thée
restore
my
son
to
helth
,
thou
knowest
it
is
now
more
than
xx
.
yeres
since
I
first
faithfully
serued
thée
,
during
which
time
,
I
neuer
desired
any
pleasure
of
thée
,
but
now
,
séeing
my
son
is
in
danger
of
death
,
I
am
come
to
commend
vs
both
vnto
thee
,
desiring
thée
to
helpe
him
,
as
wel
for
the
deuotion
he
bears
thée
(
being
yong
like
thy self
)
as
for
the
continuall
seruice
I
haue
done
thee
.
After
he
had
ended
these
prayers
,
he
wente
home
,
where
finding
his
son
deade
,
he
returned
in
a
furie
to
his
little
Christ
,
to
whom
(
without
anye
knée
or
curtesie
)
&
with
his
cap
on
his

he
said
,
I
do
vtterly
renounce
thée
,
with
assured
promise
,
that
thou
shalt
neuer
sée
me
more
:
I
haue
with
true
deuotion
serued
thée
long
,
and
neuer
requyred
any
good
turne
at
thy
hand
til
now
:
and
thou
hast
bothe
denyed
me
and
deceiued
me
.
I
confesse
I
ouer-late
finde
my
own
folly
,
for
had
I
done
halfe
the

to
the

Roode

that

as
I

done
to
thée
,
I
am
sure
he
wold
not
so
childishlie
haue
refused
me
.
And
one
thing
more
I
will
promise
thée
,
it
shall
be
a
warning
for
me
for
euer
hereafter
,
to
haue

that

vnlike

that
a

vsed
to

in

he
wente

séeing

wyth

hanging

These
Histories
do
witnes
,
that
as
the
Pope
&
his
prelacie
,
brought
all
the
world
into
damnable
Idolatrie
,
touching
the
worshipping
of
Saintes
,
so
it
séemed
that
some
in
all
ages
,
wold
shewe
those
Idolles
their
Lessons
,
when
they
pleased
them
not
.
As
not
long
since
the
inhabitauntes
of
a
village
called
Neutonne
by
Paris
,
for
that
theyr
vines
were
frosen
on
Saint
Seine
,
to
the
end
he
shoulde
be
as
wel
frozen
as
their
Vines
,
which
act
was
so
much
the
more
hardye
,
for
that
they
durst
attempt
it
against
him
,
who
is
a
Mars
among
all
the
Saints
.
And
a
Fryer
in
Artoys
in

,
Preaching
of
the
statue
of

,
that
Nabuchodonozor
caused
to

as
we
may
see
that

so
truely
in

there
were
that
would
touch
their
Hipocrisie
with

apt

them
.
For
Laurence
de
Medecis
who
knew
the
best
honor
due
to
Apo.
Ste

578.
theyr
desart
,
being
asked
by
the
Turkes
Embassadour
how
it
hapned
he
could
not
sée
so
many
mad
men
,
fooles
&
Idiots
,
passe
through
the
stréetes
of
Florence
,
as
were
commonly
to
be
séene
in
Caire
&
other
Cityes
of
hys
Country
,
he
answered
,
we
hold
them
all
enclosed
in
strong
houses
,
euerye
one
according
to
the
qualitie
of
his
madnesse
or
frensie
:
wherevpon
the
next
daye
(
accompanying
him
out
of
Florence
)
he
shewed
him
a
number
of
Monasteries
,
which
he
said
were
the
places
for
their
fooles
and
mad
men
of
all
sorts
,
and
were
called
Monkes
,
Friers
and
Nonnes
.
All
this
is
nothing
,
nor
that
which
hath
bin
published
by
our
predecessors
,
against
the
pettie
sort
of
the
Clergie
,
in
respect
of
the
which
hath
bin
spoken
against
the
Popes
their
owne
persons
.
For
Pasquin
from
the
beginning
and
euen
at
their
dores
would
touch
them
so
to
the
quicke
,
&
descipher
euery
small
Rome
.
This
Pasquin
to
shewe
in
one
word
,
what
the
whole
Etimologie
of
the
Popes
vertue
and
name
did
signifie
,
fained
to
die
in
dispaire
,
of
an
vnkindnesse
,
that
one
had
slaundered
him
.
Why
(
quoth
his
friend
)
haue
they
called
th●●
Théefe
,
murtherer
,
or
poisoner
?
he
answered
no
,
but
they
haue
termed
me
much
worse
:
haue
they
called
thée
a
robber
of
Churches
,
a
killer
of
thy
Parents
,
a
Bouggerer
,
or
an
Atheist
?
Alas
no
said
Pasquin
,
they
haue
touched
my
credit
with
a
worse
report
than
all
this
.
His
friend
grieuing
to
sée
him
in
that
wofull
case
,
deuined
at
all
the
greatest
and
most
infamous
names
that
could
be
deuised
,
he
still
affirming
it
was
worse
,
and
so
bad
,
that
I
knowe
you
can
neuer
gesse
at
it
:
Why
then
said
his
friend
,
I
pray
thée
shewe
me
what
it
is
,
that
hath
brought
thée
into
this
dispaire
?
In
the
end
Pasquin
deliuering
a
déepe
sigh
,
answered
:
alas
&
twice
alas
,
they
haue
called
me
Pope
:
confirming
the
sayings
of
Pope
Leo
the.
10.
before
mentioned
.
For
the
same
Pope
,
reproued
by
certaine
of
his
Cardinalls
Apo.
Ste.
Fol.
457.
for
his
euill
gouernment
,
and
hatefull
life
to
all
men
,
(
as
one
that
was
wonderfully
chaunged
,
after
he
became
Pope
)
answered
:
if
I
be
euill
giuen
now
,
it
is
you
that
are
in
the
faulte
,
for
it
is
your selues
that
haue
made
me
as
I
am
.
They
wondring
at
these
words
,
desired
to
know
how
that
might
be
:
Bicause
(
quoth
he
)
you
haue
made
ine
Pope
,
and
I
haue
in
my
owne
person
by
proofe
tryed
it
,
that
it
is
vnpossible
to
bée
Pope
and
a
good
Christian
togither
,
and
to
dwell
both
in
one
skinne
:
which
is
easie
to
bée
beléeued
by
the
course
of
their
whole

would
prophane
(

)
those
things
they
accounted

What
greater
mockerie
could
there
be
,
or
rather
damnable
blasphemie
(
to
their
owne
profession
)
than
the
same
that
Gregorie

(
first
named

)
did
:
for

,
bicause
his

God
(
called
the

)
would
not
answere
to
the
he
demaunded
,
he
cast
him
into
the
fire
in
the
presence
of
Apo.
Ste.
Fol.
587.
a
number
of
his
Cardinals
,
and
in
great
despight
said
,
there
was
no
substance
in
him
,
that
could
not
doe
as
much
as
Apollo
the
God
of
Infidels
,
who
answered
euery
man
by
Oracle
.
This
your
Pope
and

(
to
obtaine

Papacie
)
gaue
himself
,
his

,
and
all
to
the
Diuel
,
which
appeared
by
his
skill
in
coniuring
,
witchcraft
,
and
sorcerie
.
If
the
Pope
,
with
all
his
companie
of
grosse
creatures
,
had
beléeued
any
heauenly
vertue
to
haue
bin
in
that
misterie
,
where
vnto
they
made
all
the
world
(
with
bowed
knées
)
to
doe
godly
reuerence
,
and
to
beléeue
it
was
God
in
déede
vpon
their
damnation
,
how
could
they
haue
bene
so
full
of
impietie
to
prophane
it
as
they
did
.
For
a
Priest
of
Loraine
holding
in

a

of

,
not

:
shaking

ho
you
prettie

harlottes
which
of
you
shall
be
a
God
to

From
Loraine
I
must
come
to
Prouance
,
where
a
Priest
at
the
eleuation
,
did
hold
the
féete
of
his
God
vpward
&
the
head
downward
,
&
being
asked
the
cause
,
why
he
did
so
?
answered
:
for
that
I
woulde
not
haue
his
bréeches
fall
about
his
héeles
.
Confirming
the
report
of
a
Sacrificer
in
Sauoye
,
who
vaunted
in
his
mirth
,
that
they
vsed
their
God
,
as
the
Cat
vseth
the
Mouse
,
for
when
they
haue
sported
and
played
at
their
pleasure
with
him
,
they
deuour
him
.
A

named
Gotrene
,
saying
Masse
,
&
séeing
his

(
who
then
serued

very
slow
to
answer
Amen
,
he
saide
,
saye
Amen
in
the
name
of

Diuell
,
to
whom
he
answered
Amen
in

name
:
adding

consume
you

for
if
you

so

I
had
taken

which
you
must
suppose
came
either
to
heare
Masse
,
to
be
canonized
,
or
to
séeke
his

,

at

,
&
stale
a
péece
of
his
God
from
him
,
for
the
which
he
was
canonized
,
&
called
Saint
Mouse
.
An other
Curate
being
in
the
best
part
of
his
Masse
(
when
his
Aultar
God
was
aloft
)
spying
a
boy
clyming
his
Therrie
trée
,
he
cryed
aloude
,
come
downe
in
the
Diuels
name
,
come
downe
,
his
Parishoners
supposing
he
had
spoken
to
him
betwéene
his
handes
.
Whereunto
I
must
adde
this
shorte
remembrance
of
a
Viuieres
,
who
saying
hys
high
Masse
in
a
Churche
which
was
not
well
couered
,
by
reason
whereof
the
winde
blew
away
his
Wafer
God
from
him
,
the
Priest
being
badly
sighted
,
sought
him
about
the
Aultar
,
and
patting
with
his
hands
to
féele
him
,
said
,
where
the
Diuell
art
thou
become
,
or
whether
the
Diuell
art
thou
gone
?
Which
argued
there
was
some
affinitie
,
or
else
some
great
league
of
amitie
betwéene
the
Diuell
and
their
Idol
.
And
yet
here
resteth
a
question
:
for
if
they
had
bin
of
such
friendship
,
how
durst
euerie
Priest
at
his
pleasure
,
to
haue
threatened
him
with
the
Diuell
?
As
for
example
,
A
common
mate
hauing
a
good
minde
to
beate
a
Priest
in
Loraine
,
the
first
time
he
mette
him
,
he
was
going
with
his
Wafer
God
a
visitation
.
Well
(
said
this
companion
)
and
it
were
not
for
reuerence
I
owe
to
that
in
your
handes
,
I
woulde
coniure
you
.
The
Priest
standing
in
termes
of
his
valure
,
answered
,
I
am
readie
when
thou
darest
,
and
therefore
forbeare
me
not
for
him
,
for
beholde
my
God
is
on
the
ground
(
which
in
déede
he
had
set
downe
to
be
iudge
betwéen
them
)
and
I
giue
him
to
the
Diuell
,
if
he
take
parte
eyther
with
the
one
,
or
with
the
other
.
By
which
threates
it
should
appeare
he
stoode
in
awe
of
the
Diuell
.
There
was
also
a
Vicar
of
a
village
called
Felniag
(
besides
Bonne
in
Sauoy
)
to
whom
his
Parishoners
came
and
requested
him
to
cease
a
storme
,
for
that
he
had
oft
vaunted
he
could
caulme
the
worst
weather
that
might
be
:
and
therfore
to
approue
his
credite
,
he
first
vsed
certaine
coniurations
,
which
he
had
by
hart
:
then
he
brought
forth
his
Portas
,
and
his
Masse
Booke
,
wherin
he
did
reade
the
most
cursed
sentences
he
coulde
finde
,
himselfe
being
in
the
meane
while
vnder
a
trée
,
which
kepte
him
from
the
force
of
the
storme
.
In
the
ende
,
when
he
sawe
none
of
those
charmes
would
serue
,
he
fet
forth
his
holy
Sacrament
,
wherevnto
he
vsed
these
spéeches
:
Courdi
,
se
te
ne
ple
fort
,
que
le
Diablo
,
ze
te
zetera
de
guen
placo
:
that
is
,
By
the
heart
of
God
,
if
thou
bee
not
stronger
than
the
Diuell
,
I
will
caste
thee
into
the
durt
.
What
horrible
blasphemie
was
this
of
a
Priest
,
and
in
despight
of
that
,
which
they
all
séemed
(
with
diuine
reuerence
)
so
much
to
honour
?
These
examples
(
in
my
opinion
)
are
more
than
sufficient
,
to
proue
that
the
same
whiche
our
Papistes
call
thei●
holy
mother
Church
,
did
not
hid
their
wickednesse
to
our
predecessors
,
but
so
manifested
it
by
their
dayly
doings
,
that
those
which
were
not
willingly
deaffe
or
blind
,
must
néedes
both
heare
and
sée
them
:
shewing
withall
,
how
they
did
specially
prophane
that
which
they
held
for
a
true
,
sound
&
holy
religion
.
Notwithstanding
where
one
found
fault
at
their
false
doctrine
,
a
thousand
were
offended
at
their
wicked
lyuing
,
for
the
whole
world
complained
of
their
ordinarie
crymes
,
being
nothing
to
the
they
otherwise
most
hatefully
committed
against
the
Maiestie
of
God
,
in
their
daylye
blaspheming
him
in
the
horrible
abuse
of
his
holy
word
.
For
the
disordinate
and
cursed
lyues
that
they
continued
and
kept
in
the
Court
of
Rome
,
was
such
,
so
hateful
&
abhominable
,
that
Petrach
spake
of
it
both
in
his
Italian
&
Latine
Epistles
:
affirming
that
Christ
was
banished
from
thence
,
&
Antichrist
receiued
,
&
made
campe
maister
among
them
:
and
that
vnder
the
banner
of
Christ
they
made
wars
with
Christ
:
for
the
Pharaseis
(
saith
he
)
did
neuer
so
muche
villanie
to
him
as
those
dayly
doe
:
shewing
by
their
words
and
workes
,
that
they
holde
the
assured
hope
of
eternall
lyfe
,
for
a
fable
:
for
he
that
was
the
man
of
most
mischiefe
among
them
,
had
for
honour
and
prayse
the
highest
&
chiefest
place
.
And
touching
their
couetous
catching
and
gathering
of
gold
,
it
was
so
vnsaciat
,
as
they
set
to
sale
their
own
soules
:
and
made
vendible
Marchandize
of
the
Church
of
all
the
Saintes
of
heauen
and
of
Christ
himselfe
.
According
to
the
saying
of
Pope
Leo
the.
10.
whose
confessor
in
the
time
of
death
,
persuading
him
to
feare
nothing
,
considering
that
he
had
the
keyes
of
Paradise
,
&
the
managing
of
all
the
meri●es
of
Christ
&
of
the
Saintes
,
at
his
pleasure
:
he
answered
,
you
knowe
that
he
which
once
selleth
any
thing
,
is
no
more
maister
of
it
:
and
I
that
haue
sold
Paradise
&
al
the
rest
,
how
shal
I
acceūt
to
haue
any
part
or
portion
in
them
?
Approuing
the
summe
&
substance
of
these
verses
following
,
which
sheweth
their
monstrous
impudencie
,
ioyned
with
most
abhominable
impietie
:
and
were
grauen
with
Gothicall
letters
in
a
table
of
stone
,
which
not
long
since
did
hang
in
the
Churche
of
S.
Steuens
in
Burgis
,
at
a
piller
harde
by
the
Aultar
where
the
Cardinall
was
wont
to

his
solemne

These
verses
,
for
that
they
be
in
Latine
rime
,
I
cannot
frame
any
good
grace
to
them
in
English
:
but
the
effect
&
substance
consisteth
:
in
that
,
who
so
euer
did
offer
or
giue
to
their
woodden
image
,
should
goe
into
Paradise
:
and
the
more
they
gaue
the
better
place
should
be
prepared
for
than
:
and
those
the
gaue
nothing
should
be
assured
neuer
to
come
there
.
For
Hic
datur
exponi
Paradisus
vendi●ioni
,
is
as
much
to
saye
,
as
here
is
Heauen
or
Paradise
to
be
sold
.
But
to
the
end
the
vnlearned
Reader
shall
not
loose
the
knowledge
of
so
good
a
market
,
(
the
summe
of
all
consisting
in
these
two
verses
)
Crede
mihi
,
crede
,
coeli
dominaberis
aede
:
Nam
pro

,

.
I
haue
translated
them
as
neare
as
I
can
to
the
true
sense
word
for
word
.
Beleeue
me
,
beleeue
me
,
thou
shalt
for
mony
gouern
heauen
,
And
in
recompence
of
that
thou
giuest
,
thou
shalt
command
Christ
to
giue
thee
place
.
Sée
here
the
faire
less●n
these
scholemaisters
of
perdition
would
learne
vs
,
according
to
the
sayings
of
Plutarch
,
that
if
Iudas
came
to
Rome
with
his
.
30.
Pence
(
the
price
of
our
Sauiours
bloud
)
he
should
be
receiued
and
Christ
reiected
,
affirming
further
,
that
truth
could
haue
no
credite
or
countenance
there
,
where
the
aire
,
the
earth
,
the
temples
,
yea
their
Palaces
,
houses
and
buildings
,
was
full
of
treason
,
urther
,
falshood
,
blaspheming
,
and
lying
.
Nowe
oure
Romishe
Catholikes
(
whose
conuersion
to
Christ
in
heart
I
craue
)
that
so
muche
desire
by
wilful
ignorance
to
suppresse
God
and
his
glorye
,
and
to
aduaunce
the
Pope
and
his
Prelacie
,
and
woulde
haue
these
Tragicall
partes
(
beautified
with
gluttonie
,
adorned
with
lecherie
,
&
de●ked
with
all
sinne
and
iniquitie
)
to
triumphe
vppon
our
English
Stage
,
before
the
play
begin
,
consider
the
infamous
falshood
,
&
the
traiterous
trumperie
,
that
those
of
the
Churche
of
Rome
doe
holde
you
in
:
and
gather
into
your
memorie
,
the
summe
&
effect
of
these
examples
,
which
I
haue
rudely
and
disorderly
dispersed
in
this
booke
,
to
the
better
vnderstanding
of
the
simplest
sort
of
you
:
and
looke
into
the
infinite
number
,
that
sundrye
others
(
most
learned
Authors
to
your
behoofe
)
haue
collected
and
published
:
wher
you
shal
sée
(
if
God
haue
not
vtterly
sealed
vp
the
eyes
of
your
iudgement
)
the
manifest
abuses
of
that
Romish
beast
,
how
he
séeketh
your
deathes
in
the
errour
of
your
liues
,
and
would
haue
you
deuour
your selues
,
in
the
wicked
workes
of
your
handes
.
For
is
it
not
a
maruellous
folly
,
&
a
quintessence
of
blasphemie
,
to
honour
fleshe
and
bloud
,
a
man
,
a
sinful
creature
,
one
that
standes
with
vs
all
vnder
the
sentence
and
curse
of
God
(
if
it
were
not
for
the
mercifull
redemption
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
)
with
that
diuine
reuerence
,
that
his
heauenly
Maiestie
hath
reserued
onely
for
himselfe
?
And
to
beléeue
that
so
base
a
person
somtime
procéeding
from
poore
parentage
,
that
after
he
be
once
a
Pope
,
(
which
consisteth
only
in
mans
election
)
to
be
straight
a
God
?
Further
,
to
beléeue
that
he
hath
the
keyes
in
his
handes
of
heauen
and
of
hell
:
how
he
can
place
and
displace
in
eyther
at
his
pleasure
:
and
that
for
money
he
can
sell
both
to
those
that
will
buye
them
of
himselfe
or
of
his
Ministers
?
What
weakenesse
can
be
more
,
than
to
beléeue
,
that
it
is
lesse
sinne
to
kill
a
man
,
than
to
eate
fleshe
on
a
Fryday
or
on
a
fasting
day
,
or
to
breake
any
of
the
least
commaundementes
of
this
earthly
God
:
If
you
also
(
in
the
bowels
of
your
conscience
)
consider
the
substance
of
your
Masse
Sacrifice
,
and
the
great
abuse
that
is
hidden
vnder
the
pretext
of
that
Popish
deuise
:
you
cannot
deny
,
but
that
you
haue
(
from
the
beginning
)
bin
couered
with
the
cloud
of
iniquitie
:
for
how
hath
the
whole
world
bin
strangely
bewitched
(
the
most
part
yet
continuing
so
)
to
beléeue
that
there
was
a
Purgatory
,
from
whence
no
soules
could
be
purchased
or
chased
but
by
the
batterie
and
blowes
of
their
masking
Masses
:
and
to
builde
theyr
saluation
on
the
sentence
of
an
ignoraunt
Idiot
:
that
after
hée
had
pronounced
certaine
Sacramental
wordes
ouer
many
Cak●s
of
one
marke
,
to
make
so
many
Gods
of
them
,
whiche
shoulde
(
in
déede
)
be
holden
the
more
suspected
,
for
that
both
the
flesh
and
bloud
of
them
,
if
anye
were
,
haue
bin
instruments
of
poyson
:
The
bloud
to
William
Archbishop
of
Yorke
,
in
the
time
of
Pope
Anastasius
the
fourth
:
and
the
fleshe
to
the
Emperoure
Henrie
the
seauenth
,
by
a
Iacobin
named
Bernarde
of
Mount
Politaine
,
one
of
the
faction
of
the
Guelphis
?
But
I
haue
too
long
dwelled
in
these
Tragicall
discourses
,
and
therefore
I
will
no
more
remember
them
:
trusting
that
I
haue
to
your
good
contentment
,
performed
(
in
some
part
)
my
first
promise
for
examples
.
Yet
to
the
end
you
shall
not
obiect
(
without
reply
)
that
I
fetch
my
authorities
from
far
,
and
sette
the
honor
of
other
countreys
to
common
sale
of
slaunder
,
as
one
that
mayltaine
on
forraine
nations
what
he
list
:
I
will
openly
confesse
that
more
than
abhominable
abuses
(
remaine
in
record
)
committed
by
our
forgone
holye
fathers
of
the
same
marke
here
in
England
.
For
at
their
first
visitation
of
the
Monasteries
,
Couents
,
Churches
,
Colledges
,
and
other
professed
places
of
thys
Realme
,
theyr
villanies
,
whoredomes
,
aduouteries
,
incest
,
buggeries
and
murders
,
were
found
so
manifest
,
as
they
noted
infinite
numbers
by
name
,
whiche
were
conuicted
in
all
the
sinnes
that
may
be
named
.
And
séeing
the
same
is
already
extant
in
print
,
I
leaue
the
particularities
to
the
searche
of
those
,
that
desire
to
knowe
euerye
one
in
hys
colours
.
At
their
suppression
(
whiche
surely
was
Gods
secrete
iudgement
vpon
them
)
they
were
accounted
foure
hundered
Eouents
,
of
sundry
sorts
of
Monckes
and
Nunnes
,
besides
the
Fryer
beggers
,
neare
in
number
to
two
hundred
houses
,
whose
lewde
,
lubberlye
,
letcherous
and
lazie
liues
,
was
so
hated
and
abhorred
(
of
the
better
sort
of
men
)
as
he
withheld
his
holy
and
heauenly
word
from
vs
,
vntil
Henrie
the
eight
(
of
sacred
memory
)
did
put
his
hands
to
Gods
plough
,
and
stubbed
vp
all
those
rablement
of
most
filthy
and
styncking
wéeds
,
pretending
truely
to
haue
procéeded
,
and
to
haue
tilled
it
with
good
corn
:
but
he
in
whose
iudgement
refresh

euen

late
king
Edwarde
,
(
séeing
the
worthynesse
of
his
Fathers
worke
and
hauing
so
happy
a

prepared
)
entred
on
Christes
husbandry
:
where
finding
the

fayre
and
seasonable

,
be
slacked
no

(
by
hys
heauenly

)
to
put
Gods

into

of

hartes
.
But
,
before

,
the
appoynted
time
of
our
continual
comfort
by
our

not

,
or
our
vnthankful
sin
,
or
both
,
caused
that
careful
husband
,
to
be
taken
from

:
whereby
both
Cockell
and
Darnel
,
wyth
all
other
sorts
of
sowre
wéedes
,
so
ouerlayed
the
corne
,
as

The
field
of
thys
flourishing
realme
(
enclosed
with
the
pale
of

was
made
common
and
cast
open
:
wherinto
entred

of

consuming
all

&
whole

who
digged
déepe
to
turne
vp
the
rootes
of
our
conscience
,
by
altering
our
earthly

into
a

Element
.
Then
the

of

and
who

what

and
what

was
there
of

?
where
no

was

,
to

The

O

Thus
this
Idol
had
once
more
(
with
his
glose
of
golden
shew
)
the
principal
place
among
vs
:
whose
worldly
whelps
crept
out
of
euery

,
and
like
Adders
that
had
long

hissing
in
the

,
came

:
And
who

for

But

So
his

loking
into

(
for

did
cut
off

I

She

not

in

hath
made

about

you

as

all

Wisedome

:
Menot
:
Can
we
be
more
assured
of
saluation
than
Saint
Paule
was
,
who
was
chosen
by
Christe
,
and
rapt
vp
into
the
thirde
Heauen
:
and
that
he
sayde
,
I
desire
to
be
deliuered
,
and
to
be
with
Christ
:
yet
when
there
was
a
question
of
his
death
,
and
that
he
shoulde
dye
,
he
appealed
to
Caesar
:
So
I
doubte
not
if
death
were
offered
you
,
you
would
appeale
to
the
Pope
.
Or
if
any
suche
desperate
humor
should
possesse
you
(
as
God
forbid
)
I
trust
you
would
send
his
Holinesse
the
same
commendation
the
Italian
dyd
to
the
Frenche
King
,
being
●laine
in
his
warres
,
who
vtterly
forgetting
God
,
commended
both
his
bodye
and
soule
to
the
King
,
saying
,
he
had
loste
a
good
seruant
of
him
.
But
to
frée
you
from
any
such
frensie
,
and
the
better
to
perceiue
your
true
duetie
:
In
Christian
Charitie
looke
into
thys
that
foloweth
,
where
you
shall
sée
your

shame
,
which
may
with
spéedie
repentaunce
mollifie
your
Pharaos
heart
,
&
make
you
reclaime
your selues
from

Consider

hir

by

,
beginning
at
the

when
hir
Princely

was
in

:
and
you
shall
finde
howe
shée

bin
preserued

kept
,
continued

called

and
restored
:
more
by
a
heauenvly
prouidence
,
than
by
any
mans
foresight
,
a
or

diligence
.
Who
was
hir
Bulwarke
,
when
(
lyke
a
Lambe
among
Wolues
)
she
was
wrongfully
suspected
,
falsly
accused
,
innocently
committed
,
and
the
houre
of
hir
slaughter
moste
tyrannously
appointed
?
did
they
not
séeke
by
all
secreate
sorte
to
haue
bereaued
hir
blessed
life
from
vs
?
But
shée
(
moste
nobly
)
dwelling
in
teares
,
as
well
for
the
pitifull
persecution
of
others
,
as
for
hir
owne
imminent
perill
,
appealed
with
harte
and
minde
to
him
,
in
whose
heauenlye
handes
rested
the
redresse
of
all
.
She
wofullye
wepte
with
Hester
for
hir
people
,
in
whome
she
knewe
she
hadde
some
interest
.
She
bewayled
with
Ionas
in
the
deapth
of
the
waues
,
and
in
the
forrowe
of
hir
soule
mourned
for
oure
distresse
.
Was
it
the
might
of
man
,
or
the
prouidence
of
God
,
that
(
in
the
middest
of
all
these
miseries
)
deliuered
hir
from
deuouring
?
Was
it
worldly
pollicie
,
or
the
foreknowledge
of
his
heauenly
Maiestie
,
that
wrought
so
mightily
for
hir
?
Your selues
can
witnesse
,
howe
she
was
fréed
from
the
Lions
den
like
Daniel
,
called
like
Dauid
to
kil
Golias
,
and
placed
in
Salomons
seate
,
to
restore
the
liuing

to
his

.
After

receiued

to
take
the
head
from

Holofernes
,
if
you
discipher
all
hir

in
true
order
as
they
are
,
and
make
question
of
euerye
point
and

of
hir
procéedings
,
the
worst
minded
among
you
(
though
he
would
set
aside
al
duty
)
cannot
deny
,
but
that
hir
gratious
gouernement
,
euen
to
this
houre
,
hath
bin
miraculous
.
When
she
first
entred
the
stage
of
hir
triumph
,
did
shée
not
find
euery
corner
of
this
realme
infected
?
some

Nouem.
●●eare
.
some
scorched
,
and
some
smoothered
,
with

of

Martyres
?
were
not
all

men
and
holy
Fathers
(
with
moste
of

)
embrewed
with
the
bl●ude
of

?
did
not
sundry
of
honest
life
and
good
credite
(
in
sorrowe
of
heart
)
abandon
their
Countrie
?
was
any
subiect
in
safetie
,
when
some
were
priuily
pyned
,
some
secretly
strangled
,
and
no
torment
(
openly
)
left
vnexecuted
,
the
glorie
of
God
defaced
,
Christe
(
in
his
chosen
)
continually
crucifyed
,
hys
word
vtterly
banished
,
&
the
Popes
trash
made
the
best
ware
among
vs
?
In
lieu
of
all
these
calamities
,
libertie
for
bondage
,
faynnesse
for
feare
,
solace
for
sorrow
,
life
for
death
,
and
mercye
for

,
entred
with
hir
.
And
where
she
found
the
holy
Sanctuarie
with
sinne
and
pride
p●●luted
,
serued
with
blasphemie
,
decked
with
Idolatrie
,
&
adorned
with
all
kinde
of
Hipocrisie
:
she
beganne
hir
at
the
Church
,
and
ioyning
hyr
manly
indgemente
to
hir
maydenlye
mercie
,
(
ayded
by
the

)
so
purely
purged
it
from
all
degrées
of
superstition
,
and
that
without
persecution
,
bloud
,
fire
,
or
any
other
force
,
as
some
of
your selues
,
then
séemed
greatly
to
reioyce
at
it
.
Was
not
this
a
ioyefull
chaunge
,
to
be
broughte
from
the
bondage
of
Sathan
,
to
the
libertie
of
the
Gospel
?
from
the
feare
of
Hel
,
to
the
faynnesse
of
Heauen
?
from
the
sorrow
of
our
minds
,
to
the
solace
of
our
soules
?
from
the
death
of
the
sworde
,
to
the
life
of
Gods
word
?
&
from
the
tirannie
of
the
Pope
,
to
the
mercie
of
hir
Maiestie
?
And
such
as
dwelled
in
their
obstinate
error
(
confirming
that
Apo.
Ste
Fo.
355.
constancie
of
Cardinal
Andreas
to
his
holy
Vicar
)
who
being
in
the
tearms
of
death
,
and
perswaded
by
his
confessor
,
to
honor
one
only
God
,
aunswered
I
doe
so
,
but
that
is
the
Pope
,
for
séeing
hée
is
our
God
on
earth
,
and
that
it
is
an
absolute
commaundement
for
me
to
honor
but
one
,
I
will
rather
worship
him
that
is
visible
,
than
he
that
is
inuisible
:
his
confessor
replyed
that
the
Pope
was
neyther
God
nor
Christ
,
although
the
world
helde
him
for
hys
Vickar
:
howe
so
sayde
the
Cardinal
?
if
you
account
the
Pope
to
be
onely
Christs
Vickar
,
it
must
then
follow
that
Christ
shoulde
be
greater
than
the
Pope
,
and
that
cannot
be
:
for
if
God
come
visibly
to
Rome
,
the
Pope
will
not
knowe
him
,
nor
receiue
hym
,
before
he
haue
humbled
himselfe
vnto
him
,
and
kissed
hys
Pantophel
.
Accordyng
to
the
Sermon
of
a
reuerende
Father
Apo.
Ste
Fo.

at
Toures
,
who
in
a
brauerye
sayde
,
these
villaine
Protestauntes
,
do
vtterly
reiect
the
Pope
,
and
woulde
haue
vs
to
hold
only
on
Iesus
Christ
:
but
for
my
part
,
I
assure
you
,
if
they
were
both
here
present
to
commaunde
:
it
is
the
Pope
aboue
all
that
I
would
obey
.
Euen
so
,
those
headstrong
Papists
,
who
continued
in
the
like
damnable
determinations
,
and
could
not
by
milde
admonition
be
remoued
from
theyr
wilful
errors
,
were
(
to
the
hoped
time
of
a
more
grace
)
only
committed
,
and
not
by
rigor
of
death
hatefullye
murthered
.
Consider
the
due
course
of
all
,
how
it
was
begun
,
confirmed
,
procéeded
,
and
how
it
is
continued
(
your
secret
conspiracies
,
and
open
treasons
,
practising
to
pull
it
downe
)
you
can
not
otherwise
truely
saye
,
but
that
God
is
the
supporter
and
protector
of
the
one
,
and
the
discouerer
and
ouerthrower
of
the
other
.
Thus
the
glorie
of
the
almightie
established
,
all
offences
pardoned
,
priuate
malice
reconciled
,
and
a
general
vnitie
confirmed
:
to
shew
hir
motherly
care
ouer
vs
,
to
heape
all
hir
blessings
vppon
vs
,
and
to
manifest
the
message
of
hym
that
sent
hir
,
which
is
moste
laudable
peace
:
she
established
a
common

Fraunce
and
this
our

England
,
to
the
vnspeakeable
ioy
and
confort
of

.

The

suffice
to
sinke

Soules
in

to

If

to
be
his
children
of
perdition
,
and
to
become
Butcherly
instrumentes
to
your
brethren
and
Countrey
.
You
denie
to
be
of
Caines
kinred
,
and
yet
persist
in
the
persecutition
of
Abell
,
hath
not
that
triple
Crowned
monster
,
(
to
whose
deuotion
you
are
vowed
)
set
this
Royall
Realme
,
to
the
common
sale
or
rather
sacking
,
of
any
tyrant
that
dare
intrude
vpon
vs
?
Is
it
not
a
manifest
signe
of
suspition
,
and
a
plaine
argument
of
pretexed
Treason
(
and
therefore
a
warning
to
all
faithfull
subiectes
that
loue
our
Soueraine
,
to
holde
you
in
ielousie
)
séeing
your
are
vnder
an
othe
to
suppresse
hir
religion
?
howe
can
you
then
be
true
to
hir
Maiestie
vnlesse
you
be
false
to
your
Maister
?
But
it
may
be
you
are
of
the
poore
womans
opinion
of
Perigourde
,
that
offered
one
Candle
to
S.
Michael
,
to
the
end
he
should
doe
hir
good
,
and
an
other
to
the
Diuel
,
to
the
ende
he
shoulde
doe
hir
no
harme
.
So
you
séeme
to
be
Christians
that
the
Quéene
may
fauour
you
,
and
you
honor
the
Pope
that
his
curses
maye
not
hurt
you
:
for
otherwise
(
I
feare
)
there
is
no
trust
at
all
to
be
had
in
your
duetie
.
Howe
much
you
dishonor
God
,
breake
his
commaundements
,
and
blaspheme
the
blessed
Trinitie
(
by
your
wilfull
dissembling
with
him
,
who
séeth
the
secretes
of
all
heartes
)
your
consciences
doe
accuse
you
,
your
déedes
detect
you
,
and
your
wordes
doe
witnesse
and
bewray
(
so
farre
as
you
dare
vtter
)
the
summe
of
that
you
séeke
.
Is
it
not
hir
Maiesties
person
,
and
(
this
shouell
full
of
earth
as
it
hath
pleased
them
to
terme
it
)
hir
Realme
of
England
,
that
they
haue
vowed
to
correct
and
roote
vp
?
Is
not
the
sentence
of
their
crueltie
concluded
and
pronounced
aswell
vpon
you
as
against
vs
?
how
can
you
then
shun
their
sharpe
tyrannie
,
but
taste
the
edge
of
the
sword
with
vs
,
if
their
Romish
pretences
should
preuaile
?
but
I
doubt
you
would
for
a
shift
say
,
Non
noui
hominem
,
and
denie
both
Prince
and
profession
.
Be
it
that
the
same
would
serue
for
a
vizard
on
the
sodaine
to
maske
your
Hipocrisie
:
in
the
ende
you
shoulde
be
accounted
traitors
,
&
with
the
hatefull
horror
of
your
conscience
be
accompanyed
with
all
cursed
calamities
to
your
graue
.
The
most
eloqu●nt
Cicero
after
he
had
discouered
the
secrete
conspiracies
of
Catelin
,
before
the
body
of
the
Senate
and
in
open
counsell
,
to
his
face
deliuered
him
the
deuises
&
driftes
of
all
his
treasons
,
approuing
his
housed
practises
to
tend
to
encampe
robberies
,
to
the
murthering
of
the
nobilitie
,
&
to
the
burning
of
their
Citie
,
and
shewing
howe
hys
confederates
attended
his
comming
.
What
cause
could
procure
swifter
iustice
?
they
knew
it
they
had
him
in
hand
,
&
yet
then
(
in
Princely
pollicie
)
they
willed
him
to
depart
the
Citie
:
supposing
it
more
perill
to
haue
him
among
them
,
than
in
the
field
with
displayed
banner
against
them
.
Catelin
a
Pagan
,
prouoked
by
pouertie
,
kindled
by
priuate
grudge
,
and
heaued
vp
by
an
Ethnick
hope
,
to
better
his
wretched
state
,
as
a
desperate
man
conspired
against
men
:
But
you
Christians
,
pressed
with
no
penurie
,
wallowing
in
wealth
,
fréed
from
all
cause
of
contention
,
sitting
in
safetie
,
&
dwelling
in
that
happie
condition
as
no
age
did
euer
so
florishe
nor
any
of
your
innouation
can
continue
the
like
for
all
degrées
,
conspire
against
God
,
against
your
louing
&
most
fauourable
Quéene
,
&
against
the
foyle
&
seate
that
first
gaue
you
●ire
and
fustenance
,
which
surely
so
long
as
you
continue
vnder
the
seruitude
&
yoke
of
Papistrie
,
is
a
most
true
principle
of
your
pretence
.
Therefore
(
in
the
bowels
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
)
I
humbly
desire
you
,
as
brethren
by
one
Father
,
seruantes
to
one
Maistresse
,
and
children
of
one
moulde
,
to
searche
the
Scriptures
,
to
looke
into
the
mercie
of
his
heauenly
Maiestie
,
to
remember
hir
Graces
swéete
and
reclaiming
countenance
to
you
all
,
and
in
pittie
to
beholde
your
most
deare
mother
,
on
whose
knées
you
haue
bin
dandled
,
&
at
whose
But
if
you
be
minded
to
persist
in
your
peruerse
opinions
,
and
that
no
milke
or
meate
can
please
your
pallets
,
vnlesse
it
come
from
Rome
:
if
you
cannot
abide
the
blessed
light
of
hir
Maiesties
life
:
if
you
cannot
endure
the
heauenly
countenance
of
hir
ioyfull
regard
:
or
if
you
account
hir
Princely
Person
to
be
the
eye
sore
to
your
sorrow
:
I
say
with
Cicero
to
Catelin
,
flie
to
your
Pope
,
leaue
both
Court
&
Countrey
,
and
shunne
the
light
of
the
Sunne
,
that
so
much
doth
dazell
your
sight
,
and
let
good
subiectes
enioy
the
benefite
of
that
you
are
so
much
vnworthy
of
.
Your
owne
experience
sheweth
that
no
practize
will
preuaile
to
harme
one
haire
of
hir
head
whom
next
God
you
hate
most
:
for
the
Lord
of
hostes
doth
kéepe
hir
,
he
hath
set
legions
of
Angels
about
hir
,
they
houer
ouer
hir
,
they
marche
with
hir
,
they
goe
before
hir
,
and
garde
hir
from
all
treasons
:
they
make
knowne
your
wayes
,
they
deliuer
hir
your
drifts
,
and
they
discouer
your
very
thoughtes
vnto
hir
.
This
you
assuredly
sée
,
that
the
whole
course
of
hir
Maiesties
life
is
myraculous
:
and
yet
your
Pharao
like
wilfulnesse
will
not
obserue
any
parte
of
it
.
When
you
haue
turned
the
houre
Glasse
of
your
owne
errours
,
you
shall
finde
how
many
sandes
of
sorrowe
doth
runne
in
mischiefe
to
the
last
minute
.
But
God
of
his
mercy
make
you
to
know
him
,
to
loue
our
gratious
Quéene
,
and
in
the
duetie
of
true
subiectes
to
honour
hir
and
obey
hir
,
and
to
giue
hir
a
Mathusalems
age
to
gouerne
vs
.
Amen
.
