TO
THE
MOST
MAGnanimious
,
victorious
,
and
inuincible
King
Henrie
the
fourth
,
King
of
Fran●e
and
Nauarre
,
and
to
all
the
Princes
of
the
bloud-royall
,
and
all
others
Ecclesiastical
persons
,
both
noble
and
others
assistaunt
in
the
assemblie
of
States
:
the
royall
French-man
wisheth
grace
,
and
peace
in
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
COnsidering
how
the
body
of
the
Christian
Common
wealth
,
hath
a
long
time
bene
grieuouslie
tormented
with
a
most
dangerous
and
incurable
d●sease
,
which
doth
not
onely
trouble
the
w●ts
of
men
,
with
terrors
and
vexation
,
putting
their
bodies
to
extreame
torments
and
grieuous
trauels
,
but
also
exposeth
the
goods
of
all
in
generall
to
the
pillage
and
purl●yning
of
others
.
For
remedie
whereof
,
a
number
of
good
spirits
pricked
forward
with
a
Christian
and
laudable
zeale
,
haue
indeuored
their
best
,
these
fiftie
yeares
,
to
root
out
the
maladie
by
such
medicines
as
they
suppose
most
conuenient
and
wholsome
,
yet
doe
they
all
what
they
could
:
they
could
neuer
heale
the
wound
perfectly
.
So
that
the
bodie
diseased
,
falleth
downe
still
oftentimes
into
far
worse
case
then
at
the
first
,
and
me
thinke
the
cause
is
,
for
that
they
haue
not
looked
with
the
eie
of
their
vnderstanding
,
to
the
first
causes
and
beginnings
,
from
whence
this
sicknes
should
grow
,
but
went
no
further
then
to
stop
the
course
of
her
effects
,
like
the
Phisition
,
who
seeketh
to
cure
onely
the
paines
&
accidents
of
a
disease
,
neuer
touching
the
root
&
cause
therof
:
the
which
in
space
of
time
,
recouering
newe
force
and
rigour
doth
bud
againe
,
and
is
as
bad
&
worse
then
euer
it
was
,
which
is
not
onlie
true
in
Phisicke
,
but
in
all
other
affairs
of
the
world
.
Wherfore
,
deepe
was
the
iudgement
of
the
Latine
Poet
:
who
reputeth
that
man
happy
who
can
knowe
the
cause
of
thinges
.
For
Aristotle
also
witnesseth
with
him
,
that
the
ignorance
thereof
breedeth
manifolde
errors
.
Seeing
then
the
diuersitie
of
mens
iudgements
concerning
the
cause
and
curing
of
this
maladie
,
comming
nothing
neere
the
truth
;
some
because
they
were
a
muster
of
ignorance
,
which
dimmeth
so
their
sight
,
that
they
cannot
see
well
:
others
,
because
they
suffer
themselues
to
be
caried
away
with
their
own
passion
;
affectionat
only
to
some
one
particular
partie
:
&
other
some
,
because
they
go
no
further
,
but
to
remedie
onely
some
particular
effects
,
and
leaue
the
cause
vntouched
:
I
haue
thought
good
pitiyng
this
languishing
and
sick
bodie
,
so
to
represent
and
liuely
set
down
the
cause
and
cure
of
this
disease
,
that
it
shal
be
long
of
her selfe
,
if
she
recouer
not
perfect
health
.
Neither
let
any
be
afraid
to
take
this
wholsome
medicine
which
I
wil
prescribe
,
being
no
violent
corsuie
,
or
Antimoyne
,
nor
deare
as
is
the
tincture
of
Sol
,
for
I
present
but
a
sweet
decoction
,
to
purifie
the
crooked
sinew
,
gouernor
of
the
sight
of
the
vnderstanding
,
to
purge
the
Septentrionall
and
Occidentall
peoples
of
a
grosse
humour
ingendred
in
them
,
by
reason
of
the
grosnes
,
and
coldnes
of
the
aier
wherin
they
liue
,
which
letteth
them
for
seeing
so
clearly
into
matters
of
state
,
and
the
gouernment
of
this
world
,
as
doe
the
nations
that
are
more
Meridionall
who
being
aware
of
so
great
aduantage
can
so
cunningly
handle
the
matter
,
to
make
vs
fall
togeather
by
the
eares
,
to
weaken
and
ouer-throwe
our selues
by
our
owne
forces
and
armes
,
thereby
to
make
v●
their
slaues
,
to
possesse
and
nicye
our
persons
,
and
to
triumph
ouer
v●
,
hauing
purloyned
our
domination
&
riches
into
their
own
hands
:
but
especially
those
,
who
haue
the
Sea
so
neare
their
noses
,
that
they
can
euery
way
trade
and
trafficke
with
other
peoples
,
as
are
the
Grecians
,
Carthaginians
,
Florentins
,
Venetians
,
&
other
Italians
their
like
:
who
if
they
may
discouer
but
the
least
entrance
to
set
in
foot
amongst
the
Septentrionals
,
they
will
straight
be
able
to
deuise
and
practise
so
great
shifts
and
subtilties
,
that
they
wil
make
them
breake
asunder
all
bonds
of
amity
,
and
flesh
them
to
ruine
one
another
like
cruell
and
sauage
beasts
,
causing
an
alteration
of
bloud
amongst
the
best
of
the
Countrey
by
their
mariages
,
and
so
to
grow
to
make
quarels
and
take
parts
,
when
they
see
them
feeble
and
in
miserie
,
and
then
to
fish
for
their
riches
and
dignities
,
euen
as
in
a
troubled
water
,
men
catch
and
kil
fish
best
,
when
they
cannot
be
discried
.
Wherefore
,
many
of
those
whome
the
heauen
hath
inriched
with
a
clearnes
of
iudgement
aboue
the
rest
,
haue
great
need
to
be
aided
herein
.
Some
attributing
the
spring
of
these
mischiefes
,
to
the
darknes
and
obscuritie
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
wherein
for
all
that
they
are
deceiued
,
seeing
that
it
in
some
requireth
of
vs
,
but
to
loue
God
and
our
neighbour
,
to
fly
from
euill
,
and
to
doe
good
.
And
because
the
corruption
of
man
doth
hinder
him
to
beleeue
in
him
who
hath
absolutely
fulfilled
all
,
and
shed
his
bloud
for
the
purging
of
all
our
sinnes
,
vsing
only
certaine
Sacraments
after
the
holy
institution
of
him
and
his
holy
Apostles
:
some
others
think
that
the
diuerse
interpretations
there
abouts
,
and
about
other
texts
of
Scripture
,
are
the
cause
of
all
this
mischiefe
,
and
are
of
opinion
,
that
to
interprete
and
expound
truely
these
places
and
passages
of
Scriptures
,
is
the
very
best
meane
and
remedy
to
deliuer
all
Christendome
from
all
these
troubles
:
and
thereuppon
do
the
Diuines
fall
out
,
and
backbite
one
another
by
contumelious
speaches
,
euery
where
defaming
one
another
shamefully
:
but
the
expositions
that
they
condemne
,
and
wherupon
they
are
so
at
variance
,
are
but
thrids
spun
by
some
of
the
more
meridionall
nations
:
who
when
they
perceiue
how
they
can
set
vs
together
by
the
ears
,
they
know
how
to
inuent
store
of
such
new
obscurities
and
shifts
to
trouble
vs
,
if
we
will
giue
them
leaue
a
little
to
come
in
amongst
vs
into
our
Countries
:
where
they
will
shew
themselues
alwais
with
prophane
knowledge
to
teach
vs
how
we
shall
goe
to
heauen
,
or
els
inflamed
with
a
burning
zeale
for
the
publi●ke
good
of
all
our
Countrey
.
Although
if
we
be
so
wise
as
to
looke
well
into
them
,
we
shall
soone
discouer
their
mines
,
how
they
doe
but
seeke
to
reape
some
profite
out
of
our
ruines
,
and
to
make
their
hand
by
vs
.
We
must
then
cast
our
eies
vpon
the
good
instruction
,
that
nature
or
rather
the
Authour
therof
doth
set
before
vs
visibly
:
For
he
hauing
laid
and
set
the
Alpes
most
high
mountaines
,
so
firme
and
permanant
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
deepe
Seas
on
the
other
,
for
bars
betweene
vs
and
them
,
that
we
should
not
go
to
one
another
,
teacheth
vs
,
if
we
will
take
his
instruction
,
we
should
dispose
of
all
that
concerneth
our
State
,
apart
:
and
shut
vp
from
them
al
accesse
or
entrance
into
our
Countrey
by
the
reasons
and
experience
of
things
already
past
,
which
shall
more
amply
be
dilated
in
this
d●scourse
,
prepared
for
a
generall
remedy
for
vs
all
,
whether
we
be
Catholiques
or
Protestants
,
to
recouer
full
deliuerance
and
health
of
these
maladies
,
which
so
long
time
haue
oppressed
and
troubled
vs
:
hoping
by
the
grace
and
blessing
of
the
most
highest
,
it
shall
worke
some
great
effects
in
those
,
who
shall
vse
these
preparatiues
,
which
are
first
of
all
presented
vnto
them
,
before
the
taking
of
more
strong
medicines
,
and
harder
phisicke
.
Now
,
for
that
the
gouernour
of
the
whole
world
,
seemeth
to
haue
turned
his
fauourable
countenance
towardes
vs
,
hauing
giuen
the
royall
Scepter
into
your
Maiesties
hands
,
being
extracted
out
of
a
more
Meridionall
quarter
then
your
predecessours
were
,
and
also
in
giuing
vs
,
who
are
neighbours
of
the
great
Ocean-sea
,
a
wiser
and
more
ingenious
King
,
then
those
before
time
haue
bene
:
to
the
end
that
we
being
lightned
by
so
bright
and
glorious
a
starre
,
the
quicke
and
subtill
Italians
may
no
more
abuse
vs
,
so
that
we
shall
no
more
bee
exposed
to
the
lamentable
miseries
,
into
the
which
they
were
woont
to
bring
vs
headlong
,
as
men
altogether
blind
andegrosse-headded
,
at
their
owne
lust
and
pleasure
.
And
this
is
the
cause
why
I
haue
presumed
to
dedicate
this
discourse
vnto
your
M.
hoping
that
it
shal
be
rather
liked
and
approoued
of
you
,
then
of
others
,
who
being
more
Septentrionals
haue
their
spirites
more
dull
and
nothing
so
quicke
and
pliable
,
assuring
also
my selfe
,
that
if
it
please
you
to
receiue
it
with
a
fauorable
countenance
,
that
onely
shall
giue
it
a
far
more
free
passage
to
all
those
,
who
are
your
most
affectionate
seruants
:
Now
,
I
will
pray
the
soueraigne
Lord
and
God
to
inuirone
your
M.
with
his
speciall
protection
in
the
middest
of
all
the
perils
and
daungers
wherewith
you
are
besieged
,
establishing
your
throwne
in
all
iustice
and
godlines
,
according
to
his
most
holie
will
and
pleasure
.
A
discription
of
Italie
,
and
the
causes
of
the
subtilitie
of
that
Nation
.
Cap.
1.
THe
Italians
inhabite
the
right
arme
of
the
continent
of
Europe
,
which
hath
Spaine
in
place
of
the
head
,
France
for
the
stomacke
,
for
the
belly
Germany
,
and
Denmarke
for
the
left
arme
:
From
that
part
of
Italie
which
extendeth
more
to
the
Southward
,
and
from
the
other
bounding
North
,
with
his
two
armes
,
which
are
parts
of
the
maine
,
entring
further
into
the
Sea
then
the
rest
of
the
bodie
,
haue
from
all
times
the
other
principall
partes
of
Christendome
,
sustained
great
ruines
,
cruelties
,
losse
of
goods
and
other
oppressions
:
of
the
first
,
because
it
goeth
farre
beyond
all
Nations
bordering
Northward
,
in
inuention
,
craft
and
worldly
pollicie
,
witnesse
Aristotle
,
Strabo
,
Caesar
,
Plinie
,
&
other
approoued
Authors
:
of
the
second
,
in
respect
of
their
surpassing
streight
and
corporall
puissance
,
by
reason
of
the
colde
situation
of
the
place
.
That
which
produceth
such
effects
in
Italie
,
is
the
moderate
temperature
of
the
clymate
,
situate
in
a
subtill
ayre
néere
vnto
the
sea
euery
where
,
without
any
excesse
heate
or
cold
:
and
beside
,
another
cause
is
,
the
trading
and
great
dealing
that
the
Italians
haue
with
the
people
of
Asia
,
of
Affrica
,
and
Europa
,
as
also
with
the
Ilanders
,
or
a
great
part
of
them
with
whome
they
haunt
,
and
liue
.
By
reason
whereof
,
besides
that
they
are
of
themselues
verie
wittie
&
subtill
headed
,
all
cunning
slightes
,
craftie
conueyances
,
and
deceitfull
cosinages
,
are
so
proper
and
common
to
them
,
whereby
they
can
fetch
vnder
other
people
,
and
are
so
cunning
to
finger
from
them
their
money
,
and
can
moreouer
,
so
closely
couer
their
actions
,
that
of
a
thousand
hardly
one
could
euer
come
within
them
to
perceiue
their
iugling
.
For
as
any
deceit
or
cosinage
finely
handled
,
is
not
perceiued
but
of
those
which
know
it
,
and
looke
verie
néere
vnto
it
,
deceiuing
those
which
haue
their
eye
but
on
the
naturall
and
externall
shew
:
so
there
are
none
but
those
which
curiously
séeke
out
the
beginning
,
the
progresse
and
aduancements
of
the
Romane
and
Italian
gouernment
,
and
the
meanes
whereby
they
haue
drawne
money
from
other
nations
of
the
earth
,
since
the
time
of
Romulus
,
to
this
present
day
,
who
can
finde
out
their
fetches
and
shifts
,
or
discouer
the
maskes
wherewith
they
are
disguised
,
to
aduance
and
enrich
themselues
by
the
ouerthrow
and
pillage
of
others
.
Albeit
,
it
is
not
inough
when
we
haue
gone
so
farre
,
if
besides
we
throw
not
away
the
mufflers
which
depriue
vs
of
sounde
and
true
iudgement
in
things
of
this
world
,
as
are
custome
,
hate
,
loue
,
obstinacie
,
and
enuy
,
which
are
euen
so
many
plagues
&
corruptions
,
ouerthrowing
quite
the
iudgement
and
cleare
vnderstanding
of
man
in
all
things
:
for
if
custome
carry
vs
away
,
the
Italian
may
preuaile
,
not
only
of
an
hundred
,
but
of
more
then
a
thousand
&
fiue
hundred
yéeres
,
which
was
the
verie
time
that
Iulius
Caesar
an
Italian
,
pillaged
and
ruined
,
not
only
France
,
but
also
all
other
parts
of
Europe
.
Therefore
we
should
deserue
to
be
commanded
and
gnawen
to
the
bare
bone
,
for
euer
hereafter
,
as
wel
as
in
time
past
,
that
could
looke
to
these
matters
no
sooner
.
The
cause
of
all
,
haue
béen
but
our
blinde
affections
which
peruert
vs
in
true
iudgement
,
the
which
now
we
must
néedes
cut
off
,
to
haue
only
reason
for
our
guide
,
which
is
the
true
&
essentiall
difference
,
that
separateth
man
from
other
Animals
,
&
maketh
him
iudge
truly
of
all
things
:
otherwise
wee
robbe
our selues
of
the
most
excellent
and
precious
iewell
we
haue
,
to
become
as
bestiall
as
the
bruit
beastes
.
From
hence
springeth
then
also
the
cause
of
so
great
diuersitie
of
opinions
in
our
Continent
,
the
principall
and
chiefest
part
of
the
world
,
for
that
some
suffer
themselues
to
be
gouerned
by
the
cléere
light
of
reason
&
vnderstanding
,
and
other
some
let
themselues
be
caried
away
headlong
with
their
owne
affections
and
customes
,
and
this
is
the
cause
why
the
inhabitants
of
the
Orientall
.
Asia
vnder
the
dominion
of
the
great
Cham
of
Tartarie
,
whose
Empire
is
two
thousande
leagues
in
longitude
,
do
hold
him
for
the
sonne
of
God

How
in
the
persons
of
Romulus
,
and
Numa
Pompilius
,
their
were
two
kindes
of
gouernmentes
prefigured
among
the
Italians
.
FIrst
we
will
consider
,
euen
as
in
the
murther
of
Abell
,
committed
by
Cain
,
God
did
prefigure
vnto
vs
,
that
the
good
should
be
persecuted
by
the
wicked
for
his
seruice
sake
till
the
end
of
the
world
:
so
also
in
the
person
of
Romulus
first
founder
of
Rome
,
&
murtherer
of
his
brother
Romus
and
Tassius
his
companion
,
as
also
in
the
person
of
Numa
Pompilius
,
a
most
subtill
and
ingenious
inuentor
of
a
forged
religion
,
to
establish
his
owne
gouernment
.
God
would
manifest
vnto
vs
,
that
this
nation
should
serue
it selfe
héereafter
,
with
murthers
and
apparance
of
a
counterfet
religion
,
to
laie
hands
on
others
kingdomes
,
and
to
snatch
away
the
substance
of
other
peoples
:
for
we
sée
euen
as
their
first
domination
began
at
the
first
by
effusion
of
bloud
,
and
after
by
cloake
of
religion
:
so
also
it
is
come
to
passe
,
that
the
first
glorie
of
the
great
Empire
of
the
Italians
,
to
the
which
all
Europe
was
brought
in
subiection
and
made
tributarie
,
was
gotten
by
the
great
murthers
so
commonly
committed
in
the
time
of
Marius
and
Sylla
,
contriued
by
Augustus
Caesar
,
and
by
Anthony
,
which
lustre
being
by
long
tract
of
time
dimmed
and
extingnished
,
is
by
a
cleane
contrarie
maner
restored
and
restablished
vnder
a
faire

How
the
subtill
Italian
borroweth
the
name
of
the
Pope
,
to
come
to
his
pretences
with
more
facilitie
.
NOw
I
pray
thée
Reader
,
be
not
persuaded
,
that
I
meane
by
this
discourse
contemptuously
to
blame
the
Popes
of
Rome
in
their
owne
persons
,
or
any
holy
constitution
in
the
Church
of
Rome
:
My
desire
is
only
to
lay
open
the
déep
reach
and
subtiltie
of
the
Romanes
,
who
by
a
great
foresight
and
immutable
order
,
haue
béen
able
so
to
handle
their
affaires
,
and
to
dispose
of
Popes
,
of
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
,
in
such
sort
that
they
haue
got
the
head
and
rule
ouer
them
,
and
fetch
round
summes
of
deniers
out
of
their
cofers
,
and
from
their
commons
besides
.
For
proofe
hereof
,
I
will
maintaine
the
like
preposition
,
that
was
held
to
Augustus
Caesar
,
the
greatest
,
happiest
,
subtillest
,
and
most
pollitike
Monarke
of
the
worlde
.
It
was
this
,
That
he
commanded
indéed
all
nations
,
and
all
the
world
trembled
at
the
excellencie
of
his
nature
,
but
yet
that
his
wife
commanded
him
,
and
his
daughter
her
mother
:
giuing
thereby
to
vnderstand
,
that
it
was
they
that
ruled
only
,
borrowing
his
name
to
authorise
and
establish
what
they
listed
.
So
I
say
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
ratified
,
published
and
receiued
vnder
the
name
and
authoritie
of
the
Popes
,
it
is
but
the
counsell
and
inuention
of
the
Italians
of
Rome
,
who
to
authorise
their
doings
,
couer
them
with
the
name
of
the
Pope
,
and
therefore
must
be
attributed
to
them
,
as
to
the
inuentors
,
persuaders
,
and
contriuers
of
that
which
procéedeth
from
his
holines
.

A

,
and

Counsell
.
FOr
confirmation
of
that
which
goeth
before
,
and
for
demonstration
of
the
matter
,
let
vs
set
before
our
eyes
the
estate
of
France
,
in
the
time
that
Katherine
de

,
Quéene-Mother
liued
,
and
we
shall
sée
,
as
in

cleare
glasse
,
that
she
and
her
Councell
of
Italians
got
betwéen
them
the
whole
gouernment
&
disposing
of
all
the
affaires
in
France
,
into
their
hands
,
and
like
bloodsuckers
sucked
the
bloud
of
the
poore
people
so
dry
,
as
if
it
had
béene
crushed
out
in
a
wine-presse
:
so
that
by
such
crueltie
,
men
perished
in
France
by
famine
,
nakednes
,
&
hearts
griefe
,
by
thousands
and
millions
,
and
neuer
were
there
so
many
died
by
poyson
of
Serpents
and
other
venimous
beasts
,
nor
by
the
crueltie
of
Tygers
,
Lybbards
,
Crocodiles
,
Lynres
,
Beares
,
and
other
deuouring
beasts
,
since
the
creation
of
the
world
,
as
by
their
tyrannous
crueltie
,
shewed
whilest
they
bore
the
sway
.
This
could
not
any
one
French
man
perceiue
to
come
to
passe
,
for
so
smal
a
matter
,
as
to
haue
matched
the
daughter
of
an
Italian
Duke
with
a
younger
brother
of
France
:
But
herehence
procéedeth
it
,
that
this
nation
is
so
ingenious
and
subtill
,
that
vpon
the
least
occasion
which
may
be
,
it
maketh
way
and
meane
to
enterprise
and
effect
the
greatest
matters
in
the
world
,
and
moreouer
,
to
laie
the
blame
and
grudge
that
commeth
by
their
stingings
&
exactions
vpon
other
mens
shoulders
:
fine
workemen
I
warrant
you
:
that
can
so
closely
couer
their
dealings
with
the
name
&
authoritie
of
great
Prelates
,
Kings
or
Princes
,
that
the
hatred
and
blame
may
lie
vpon
their
neckes
,
and
the
profite
be
put
in
their
owne
purses
.
And
sure
this
nation
can
make
so
sure
way
so
far
before
hand
,
and
so
contriue
their
plots
,
that
then
at
the
length
onely
men
can
perceiue
them
,
when
it
is
cleane
past

to
finde
out
any

to

How
of
anie
light
occasion
,
this
Nation
can
deuise
to
effect
great
matters
.
FOr
euident
proofe
hereof
,
this
Italinesse
had
not
remained
long
time
in

,
but
Monseur
le
Dauphin
,
who
was
to
rule
ouer

as
lawfull
heire
to
the

,
vanished
quickly
by

partes
of

of

.
And
this
occasion
béeing
redoubled
by
the
death
of
King
Henry
,
they
tooke
fast

of
her
haire
which

not
letting

likewise
in
the
ignorance
of

in

gouerning

to

end
that

might

THese
two
breaches
being
made
in

the
Italians
persuading
themselues

no

to

which
was
but
in

they
were
able
to
frame
among
them
such
disorder
,
that
Francis
the
first
,
hauing
left
seuentéene
hundred
thousande
crownes
in
his
coffers
,
albeit
he
had
paide
ransome
in

:
the
said
Henry
hauing
raigned
but
a
while
,
had
left
his
heire
behinde
him
indebted
fortie
thrée
Millions
,
which
was
a
most
straunge
and
maruellous
debt
,
considering
the
great
tributes
which
he
had
exacted

subiects
,

there

be

heard
,
notwithstanding
the
best
friendes
and
louers
of

,
made
a
motion
&
were
verie
instant

They
haue
at
this
present
farre
more
abilitie
by
the
authoritie
and
subtilitie
of
their
Italinesse
,
to
prosecute
the
ruine
and
vtter
subuersion
of
this
estate
:
the
which
to
bring
to
a
low
ebbe
:
they
must
fill
full
of
ciuill
warres
,
and
so
ouer
loade
with
such
heauie
burthens
of
subsidies
,
taxes
,
and
new
rereages
,
that
they
poore
people
remained
quite
ruined
and
troden
downe
,
so
that
it
could
neuer
since
recouer
foote
againe
:
and
the
better
to
feare
and
torture
them
thereunto
,
to
locke
them
vp
in
prisons
,
and
there
to
make
them
rot
miserably
,
if
they
did
not
pay
their
intollerable
ransomes
,
excéeding
in
many
partes
of
France
,
more
by
the
third
part
then
the
yéerely
reuenue
of
the
poore
Pesant
did
amount
vnto
:
not
disburdening
him
therby
any
thing
at
all
of
his
charges
in
finding
souldiers
,
of
whom
he
was
daily
sore
gnawen
,
deuoured
,
beaten
,
and
oppressed
,
besides

extremitie
shewed
vnto
him
in
paying
the
fines
of
his
wine
,
without
the
which
he
could
by
no
meanes
be

.
Thus
this
subtill
nation
hauing
gotten
on
their
side
some
Italionate
Frenchmen
,
to
take
their
partes
,
and
to
fortifie
them
somewhat
more

and
to

vtter

which

wherein
many
Florentines
swimme
,
which
came
but
like
poore
snakes
into
France
,
and
now
how
they
haue
altered
their
state
.
But
if
the

they
should
at

they
haue

little
fauour
as

to

bare
bone

and

lower

Italianate
spirits

as
for
those
who
take
paines
daily

diuine
seruice

French
Romans
wil
not
meddle
withal

nor
so
much

to
turne
ouer
one
leafe
of

they
may
haue
a
sore
drowth

but
the
diuell
a
whit
of
drinke
will
they
giue
them
to
coole
their
thirst

Their
Nobles
they
were
saluted
so
oftentimes
with
summonings
to
assemble
themselues
,
who
held
any
landes
of
the
Crowne
,
to
bee
seassed
for
the
affaires

the
warres
and
paiment
of
souldiers

and
withall
put

such
pinches

one

charges
raised
by
the
vaine

Order
,
for

employed
onely
for

As

Officers
,
although
that
their

them
in

Italian
power
,
ten
times
dearer
then
in
the
raigne
of
any
former
Prince

were
so
fléeced
and
pulled
away
by
substitution
of
others
,
that
did
robbe
them
of
all
the
profit
and
honour
that
might
grow
therby
,
who
in
their
turne
also
were
pilled
and
brought
to
nothing
,
by
restoring
the
mony
that
was
sucked
from
them
,
that
first
bought
them
:
so
that
by
that
time
all
their
landes
were
counted
,
there
was
nothing
to
be
laughed
at
on
no
side
:
but
only
the
Florentines
and
their
partners
,
who
might
wel
laugh
in
their
sléeues
,
hauing
so
much
the
more
to
drinke
,
filling
their
purses
,
with
the
emptyings
of
others
,
so
that
by
such
deuises
they
haue
so
well
sucked
out
the
substance
of
the

,
that
since

The
tokens
wherof
most
manifestly
appeare

Oates
and
Pease
like
bruit
beasts
.
The
cause
and
originall
of
all
these
miseries
procéeding
of
the
marriage
of
one
Italinesse
in
France
,
aspiring
to
make
way
for
her
adherents
,
and
to
get
the
Crown
into
her
own
hands
,
making
our
kings
odious
to
the
whole
world
:
and
this
sheweth
well
,
that
they
are
so
ingenious
,
that
of
the
least
occasion
that
may
serue
to
fauour
them
:
they
know
how
to
finde
and
fetch
out
greater
aduantages
,
farre
beyond
the
reach
of
any
nation
in
the
world
beside
.
This
thou
shalt
easily
perceiue
,
if
with
the
consideration
of
that
which
goeth
before
,
thou
cast
but
thine
eye
of
vnderstanding
vpon
the
French
,
to
sée
how
great
a
number
of
the
Kings
daughters
haue
béen
married
into
Italy
,
as
Madame
Renee
daughter
of
King
Lewes
the
twelfth
,
to
the
Duke
of
Ferrara
:
others
to
the
King
of
England
,
&
into
Spaine
,
to
the
Dukes
of
Sauoy
,
and
of
Lorraine
.
By
meanes
of
whom
,
although
they
were
all
descended
of
farre
more
noble
houses
then
her
,
yet
the
French
could
neuer
by
any
such
occasion
tyrannise
and
impouerish
these
people
,
neuer
making
the
least
commoditie
thereby
,
or
get
any
other
preferment
:
but
to
the
contrarie
,
they
still
left
behinde
them
verie
much
of
their
owne
,
as
in
the
marriages
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
and
of
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
where
they
got
to
their
shares
the
fairest
fléeces
and
conquests
of
France
.
And
this
may
verie
well
shew
how
grosse
witted
we
are
in
France
,
and
how
ingenious
and
subtill
the
Italian
is
at
euerie
opportunitie
that
may
happen
.
Sée
wherfore
I
wold
faine
be
able
to
perswade
the
Popes
,
quite
to
forsake
this
nation
to
come
into
Swicerland
,
and
into
France
,
verie
curteous
and
good
people
:
to
deliuer
themselues
from
the
yoake
of
that
nation
which
is
the
most
corrupt
in
the
whole
world
:
for
if
one
onely
Italinesse
were
able
to
chaine
our
Kings
at
Paris
,
and
within
a
litle
therabouts
,
and
with
one
winke
of
her
eye
make
tremble
Constables
,
Marshals
of
France
,
gouernours
of
prouinces
,
and
by
the
least
word
or
letter
alter
the
Parlaments
of
France
,
what
may
ten
1000.
Italians
do
,
enuironing
a
Pope
?
It
is
certaine
,
they
may
force
his
will
by
violence
,
depriuing
him
of
his
libertie
in
his
gouernment
of
the
church
.
Or
if
he
bow
not
that
way
which
they
wold
haue
him
,
they
wil
not
sticke
to
giue
his
holines
some
dramme
of
such
perfume
,
as
they
did
to
the
deceassed
Quéene
of
Nauarre
.
This
is
the
cause
why
commonly
we
sée
foure
or
fiue
Popes
to
die
,
during
the
raigne
of
one
Emperour
.
Wherefore
he
should
do
well
either
for
loue
of
his
life
or
his
libertie
to
retire
and
come
away
from
amongst
them
.

Vpon
what
occasion
the
Romanes
changed
their
Monanarchie
into
a
populer
estate
:
that
is
to
wit
,
vppon
the
rauishment
of
Lucretia
,
committed
by
their
king
Tarquinius
.
BVt
to
make
a
more
liuely
representation
of
the
great
wisedome
of
the
Italian
,
we
must
mount
a
litle
higher
to
the
beginnings
,
progresse
,
and
aduancement
of
this
admirable
domination
,
whether
by
degrées
it
hath
eleuated
it selfe
in
perceiuing
the
Tarquins
their
kings
were
verie
vicious
,
and
nothing
valerous
,
they
spied
out
matter
inough
quickly
against
them
to
be
rid
of
them
,
so
iumpe
at
that
time
fell
out
for
their
purpose
the
rauishment
of
Lucretia
,
perpetrated
by
Tarquinius
their
King
:
wherupon
they
made
a
commotion
against
him
,
by
and
by
to
thrust
him
out
of
his
kingdome
:
not
that
they
meant
to
restablish
any
other
in
his
place
,
but
to
alter
this
forme
of
gouernment
(
although
it
be
absolutely
the
best
,
when
kings
rule
as
they
should
do
,
and
behaue
themselues
well
)
and
to
institute
another
,
which
should
exalt
them
(
as
they
thought
most
likely
)
aboue
all
other
peoples
,
and
make
them
all
tributarie
to
them
.
Now
this
was
their
order
,
to
haue
a
Senate
wherein
men
of
the
greatest
spirites
,
verie
well
learned
and
experienced
were
only
admitted
,
by
whom
euery
yéere
should
two
Consuls
be
chosen
,
who
should
alwaies
haue
the
conduct
of
warres
:
and
besides
if
any
important
affaires
chanced
,
then
was
there
elected
one
to
be
a
Dictator
,
and
such
a
one
as
was
most
worthie
of
all
Italy
to
command
&
to
resist
,
whom
soeuer
came
against
the
Romanes
.
So
that
if
one
Consull
lost
a
battaile
,
the
estate
was
not
thereby
ouerthrowne
,
because
his
fellow
had
mustered
in
a
readines
another
Army
readie
to
fight
and
giue
battell
againe
,
so
that
if
he
also
were
vanquished
,
they
had
for
all
that
good
hope
yet
,
being
the
Dictator
to
come
,
vpon
whose
valour
and
experience
,
they
most
of
all
relied
,
(
as
on
Marius
and
Fabius
,
)
for
he
set
in
incontinent
for
the
third
man
.
This
is
the
reason
,
that
when
the
enimies
of
the
Romanes
had
gotten
two
fieldes
against
them
,
as
diuers
times
did
Pyrrhus
and
Hanniball
,
they
were
not
dismaied
for
all
that
,
and
thought
themselues
thereby
neuer
a
whit
the
more
ouercome
,
whereas
contrariwise
,
if
any
King
,
Prince
,
or
common
wealth
had
once
had
an
ouerthrow
by
a
battell
in
the
field
,
they
could
not
so
soone
recouer
their
losse
,
but
would
iudge
themselues
straightwaies
ruined
,
and
ouerthrowen
.
By
this
meane
,
their
domination
séemed
altogither
inuincible
,
till
by
their
owne
Armies
,
by
ciuill
broyles
and
domesticall
iarres
,
they
conspired
their
owne
ruine
and
destruction
.

How
the
Romanes
by
pretence
of
their
Faith
,
founde
meanes
to
augment
their
Domination
.
ALbeit
,
that
this
so
goodly
order
and
forme
of
gouernment
might
haue
béene
sufficient
to
make
them
surpasse
all
other
people
,
yet
they
perceiuing
that
the
breaking
of
faith
and
promises
,
did
worke
the
ruine
of
all
estates
,
that
made
no
conscience
to
violate
them
:
the
Italians
well
aduised
hereof
,
as
those
that
saw
well
inough
that
Faith
was
the
most
firme
bande
of
humane
societie
:
and
that
where
it
raigned
not
,
euen
did
stand
verie
flipperie
,
and
were
alwaies
staggering
,
tottering
,
and
shakyng
with
feare
,
and
mistrust
:
to
the
end
to
binde
themselues
most
strictly
to
the
obseruation
of
the
same
,
and
to
make
all
the
world
belieue
that
they
would
inuiolably
kéepe
their
promises
,
they
builded
a
Temple
of
FAITH
:
to
the
which
they
gaue
great
honour
and
reuerence
.
Whereupon
euerie
one
assuring
them selues
in
their
fidelitie
,
desired
their
league
and
friendship
,
and
to
couer
them selues
with
their
protection
and
fauour
,
sparing
neither
tribuite
nor
subiection
to
obtaine
the
same
.
This
was
a
most
rare
péece
of
pollicie
and
wisedom
,
found
out
by
them
,
whereby
they
bore
sway
,
and
drew
profit
from
all
other
peoples
:
albeit
otherwise
the
Italians
were
farre
surpassed
by
them
in
number
&
forces
.
Hereby
may
we
then
sée
euidently
,
that
they
haue
a
spirite
more
sublimate
and
ingenious
,
then
any
other
nation
that
liueth
vnder
the

of
the

The

BVt
as
all
earthly
thinges
come
in
processe
of

,
to
faile
in
glorie
and
naturall
force
,
so
this
braue
Signiorie
which
seemed
to
sway
the
whole
earth
,
fell
at
last
to
decay
and
ruine
,
because
at
the
first
beginning
they
did
but
shaue
and
clip
those
which
were
subiugated
and
forced
to
take
hold
on
the
cordes
of
the
empire
,
to
make
them
a
little
gentler
and
tamer
:
afterwardes
they
fell
roundly
to
fleying
of
them
:
besides
the
horrible
and
detestable
cruelties
of
Nero
,
Caligula
,
Commodas
,
Heliagabalus
,
and
other
such
like
monsters
,
made
this
nation
odious
,
and
spited
of
manie
others
,
who
beginning
a
little
to
discouer
,
that
the
Romaines
had
not
brought
them
in
subiection
by
any
greater
power
or
multitudes
,
whereby
they
excelled
them
too
that
waies
,
but
rather
had
gotten
the
vpper
hand
,
by
sowing
quarrels
amongst
them
,
by
supprising
them
vnawares
,
and
establishing
among
them
a
better
order
of
militarie
discipline
,
then
was
before
:
they
resolued
with
hazarde
of
their
liues
to
ouerthrow
their
tirannie
,
and
to
pull
downe
their
intollerable
Domination
to
the
ground
.
Amongst
other
the
people
of
the
North
,
enuironing
the
left
arme
,
I
mean
the
Gothes
,
the
Saxons
,
and
Hungarians
who
hauing
experience
of
their
strength
,
to
bee
farre
passing
that
of
Italians
,
obseruing
a
better
order
in
their
warfare
then
before
,
set
forwarde
and
prosecuted
so
lustilie
,
the
course
of
their
hartie
enterprises
,
that
they
became
in
short
time
maisters
of
the
citie
of
Rome
,
and
many
other
partes
of
Italie
.
In
like
manner
Arthure
a
most
valiant
king
of
England
,
accompanied
with
sixe
hundred
thousand
men
,
victoriously
ouerthrew
Lucius
the
Romaine
Senator
,
marching
with
no
lesse
number
of
souldiours
then
he
,
pretending
to
make
the
English
tributarie
,
as
they
were
before
time
.
The
Gaules
likewise
cast
of
their
yoke
,
and
the
Almaines
got
from
them
the
dignitie
imperiall
,
into
their
owne
handes
,
whereupon
ensued
the
totall
subuersion
of
this
their
first
earthly
violent
,
and
forced
Domination
,
vnder
the
which
,
they
had
yoaked

of

that

was
no

to
be

for
the
reestablishment

the

had
made
proofe
that
the
corporall

How
in
creating
an
vniuersall
Bishop
at
Rome
,
the
Italians
entred
into
possession
of
a
farre
more
excellent
Domination
,
then
that
which
they
had
lost
before
.
THese
two
pointes
being
once
granted
them
,
the
Italians
might
verie
well
dispose
at
their
pleasure
,
of
all
christiandome
,
putting
on
but
the
cloake
and
authoritie
of
their
vniuersall
Bishops
.
This
was
an
easie
way
for
them
to
hold
,
for
the
recouerie
of
a
more
excellent
Domination
(
being
now
spirituall
and
heauenly
)
then
the
first
which
they
had
lost
,
and
by
this
prerogatiue
might
they
make
the
purest
and
most
precions
golde
and
siluer
of
all
christianitie
,
to
flie
to
Rome
.
It
was
most
easie
of
all
to
make
this
currant
among
other
Bishops
:
perswading
them
that
all
this
did
but
encrease
their
dignitie
and
profit
,
and
inuest
them
with
a
power
to
make
heade
against
the
kinges
of
the
earth
,
to
cast
of
their
yoake
,
and
neglect
all
their
magistrates
.
By
reason
whereof
,
this
inuention
was
found
good
,
and
passed
quickly
without
any
contradiction
:
but
there
was
onely
a
little
strife
betwéene
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
and
him
of
Constantinople
,
for
the
superioritie
of
them
two
.
But
yet
on
the
Italians
side
,
there
was
no
meane
to
make
them
forgoe
this
dignitie
,
they
would
in
no
wise
lay
it
downe
,
because
they
foresaw
that
therby
they
could
make
what
doctrin
they
listed
currant
throughout
all
churches
,
and
their
constitutions
to
be
receyued
euerie
where
,
as
the
decrées
of
their
soueraigne
and
heauenly
Court
:
they
could
make
them selues
redoubted
and
feared
of
the
kinges
,
and
princes
of
the
earth
,
as
though
they
were
the
onely
Porters
of
heauen
gates
,
and
that
no
man
coulde
come
in
there
,
but
by
their
leaue
,
meane
,
and
fauour
.
To
make
the
rest
of
the
Clargie
receiue
this
inuention
,
there
was
no
more
adoe
,
but
to
performe
it
with
a
smell
of
the
augmentation
of
their
dignitie
and
profit
,
and
they
straight
waies
embraced
it
,
with
all
ioy
and
gladnesse
:
for
whilest
that
men
are
liuing
here
in
this
earth
,
verie
few
are
found
,
but
will
suffer
themselues
to
bee
infected
with
such
plagues
,
which
(
as
Galen
saith
)
are
Auarice
and
Ambition
,
which
bring
vnto
the
soule
that
which
the
falling
sicknesse
doth
bring
to
the
bodie
.
And
if
there
be
anie
found
anie
found
amongst
the
rest
,
which
haue
the
glorie

How
the
people
follow
none
other
religion
but
that
which
their
Pastors
teach
them
,
and
how
the
Romanes
giue
vs
one
according
to
their
owne
nature
.
TOuching
the
people
(
by
whom
I
comprehend
Nobles
,
Citizens
and
Pesants
)
in
matter
of
religion
,
they
will
embrace
that
which
their
Pastors
shall
preach
vnto
them
,
or
that
wherein
they
haue
béene
brought
vp
,
without
making
any
further
choice
:
So
that
if
a
man
be
of
the
Empire
of
Tartarians
,
he
will
frame
himselfe
to
the
forme
of
diuine
seruice
that
is
there
established
:
in
like
manner
will
hée
doe
that
is
borne
among
Turks
&
Iewes
,
Lutherians
,
and
Catholiks
:
the
worst
is
when
he
is
grounded
in
one
,
he
wil
take
no
knowledge
,
nor
make
none
examination
of
anie
other
,
but
will
haue
them
all
in
detestation
,
and
shall
be
as
glorious
in
his
owne
,
as
if
he
had
found
some
pretious
treasure
of
inestimable
valour
,
especially
when
he
hath
his
eyes
dimmed
by
sensible
,
terrestriall
,
and
humaine
religion
.
The
Italian
is
not
here
to
séeke
how
to
deale
with
him
,
he
can
handle
the
matter
so
well
,
that
he
will
fetch
some
substance
from
him
,
without
any
warre
or
violence
,
and
at
his
owne
pleasure
:
and
to
effect
the
same
,
he
hath
no
more
to
doe
,
but
to
winne
to
his
side
the
Doctours
and
Priestes
,
which
instruct
the
people
,
who
may
teach
them
a
religion
which
is
altogether
agréeable
to
their
owne
nature
.
But
here
is
the
point
of
controuersie
,
which
hath
and
shall
be
euer
betwoone
God
and
men
:
that
God
wil
be
honoured
with
a
seruice
agréeable
to
him selfe
,
and
of
the
qualitie
of
his
owne
nature
,
to
wit
,
spirituall
,
diuine
,
and
heauenly
:
and
wee
humaine
creatures
,
cleane
contrarie
will
serue
him
with
a
seruice
that
is
nearest
and
best
agréeing
to
our
owne
nature
:
for
it
is
his
will
,
that
when
we
adore
and
inuocate
his
holy
name
,
we
should
lift
vp
our
spirits
aboue
the
heauens
:
and
we
desire
to
finde
him
here
below
on
earth
,
in
our
Temples
,
vnder
some
visible
forme
,
which
we
may
sée
and
touch
,
because
that
our
earthly
nature
taketh
farre
greater
delight
,
in
that
which
it
séeth
with
the
bodily
eyes
,
then
to
transport
it selfe
in
spirit
aboue
the
azured
heauens
,
so
farre
distant
from
vs
.
In
like
manner
those
which
will
make
their
prayers
to
the
saintes
of
Paradice
,
take
great
pleasure
to
haue
their
images
here
below
on
earth
,
sauing
a
long
iourney
to
goe
into
the
kingdom
of
heauen
to
séeke
them
.
God
will
haue
his
diuine
seruice
procéeding
from
his
diuinitie
,
and
such
a
one
whereof
he
himselfe
is
the
authour
:
and
we
take
more
delight
in
that
which
is
humaine
,
and
procéedeth
from
our
owne
braine
,
because
it
most
consisteth
in
visible
things
,
to
be
beholded
with
these
our
bodily
eyes
:
as
are
sumptuous
and
goodly
Temples
,
glistering
with
costly
glasse
windowes
,
triumphantinges
,
liuely
pictures
,
images
exquisitely
carued
forth
,
most
precious
clothes
,
of
Arras
,
Chalices
,
Crosses
of
the
finest
Ducket
gold
,
height
of
Piramides
,
Copes
of
crimsin
veluet
,
others
of
cloth
of
gold
and
siluer
,
which
are
thinges
most
pleasant
to
the
eies
to
behold
.
And
to
delight
the
hearing
with
songs
of
Mnsicke
,
noyse
of
Organs
,
and
sound
of
Belles
:
al
these
things
are
delectable
in
déed
,
and
haue
some
shew
of
humane
wisdom
,
for
all
that
haue
they
not
God
for
any
Authour
:
neither
did
Iesus
Christ
nor
his
Apostles
euer
institute
or
occupie
the
like
:
rather
they
taught
vs
to
despise
the
world
,
and
all
that
is
therein
,
to
aspire
vp
to
heauen
,
instructing
vs
to
renounce
our selues
and
all
the
lustes
of
the
flesh
,
to
do
the
holie
and
perfect
will
of
God
,
to
take
vp
our
Crosse
and
wade
thorow
many
tribulations
into
the
glorie
of
God
.
And
this
cannot
we
abide
,
we
must
haue
a
religion
which
wil
helpe
to
augment
our
dignities
and
earthly
riches
,
that
we
may
liue
here
in
all
voluptuousnes
and
securitie
.
And
because
the
Gospell
taken
in
his
puritie
is
quite
contrarie
to
that
,
there
is
nothing
in
the
earth
that
this
nation
hateth
more
,
then
to
heare
speake
thereof
:
farre
preferring
a
worldly
felicitie
present
,
which
by
no
meanes
they
will
forgo
,
vpon
hope
of
any
eternall
,
absent
,
and
hidden
ioyes
which
are
to
come
.
Cap.

A
comparison
of
the
diuine
seruice
inuented
by
the
Italians
,
with
the
counsell
of
some
subtill
Phisition
.
HE
that
would
thorowly
examine
the
forme
of
Religion
planted
by
the
Italians
,
by
the
authoritie
of
their
soueraigne
high
Priest
,
shall
finde
all
these
things
afore
truely
obserued
amongst
them
.
So
that
flying
therby
,
with
wings
swifter
and
stronger
then
the
wings
of
any
Engle
,
they
are
able
to
beate
downe
to
the
ground
those
that
are
so
sawcie
as
to
withstand
in
any
thing
,
or
gainsay
in
any
wise
the
formes
of
their
seruices
,
which
they
haue
introduced
to
fetch
vnder
their
subiection
,
the
greatest
Potentates
of
the
earth
,
and
to
draw
thereby
deniers
and
reuenues
from
them
:
imitating
herein
some
craftie
Phisition
,
who
preferring
a
good
bootie
of
siluer
before
the
health
of
the
sicke
patient
:
will
learne
what
meate
and
drinke
pleaseth
best
his
appetite
,
and
hauing
found
,
that
he
loueth
claret
wine
aboue
all
things
,
and
sugar
to
make
it
haue
a
daintie
taste
,
which
he
taketh
:
imagine
that
he
goe
visit
the
patient
,
who
will
straight
begin
to
tell
him
,
how
he
can
get
no
recouerie
of
his
sicknes
,
albeit
he
hath
vsed
much
blood
letting
,
taken
many
pilles
,
and
other
phisicke
,
which
hath
brought
him
verie
low
,
and
put
him
to
much
paine
:
this
same
impudent
Phisition
that
tell
him
,
that
all
that
serued
but
to
weaken
him
,
&
to
take
away
his
stomacke
:
and
by
mouing
a
question
to
the
sicke
patient
,
shall
aske
him
,
if
he
loue
not
well
good
claret
wine
?
He
answering
,
with
all
his
heart
,
this
Phisition
shall
reply
,
that
he
will
warrant
him
to
recouer
his
health
againe
,
if
hée
leaue
taking
these
hard
medicines
,
and
those
pilles
so
bitter
in
swallowing
,
and
to
get
some
daintie
wine
of
most
delicious
taste
,
if
he
should
send
his
man
ten
miles
for
some
,
to
haue
alwaies
at
the
least
,
thrée
or
foure
good
bottles
in
his
Celler
in
store
.
And
bid
him
besides
,
least
the
vapours
should
sume
too
much
to
intoxicate
his
head
:
to
take
Coriander
comfits
at
the
end
of
his
repast
,
&
assure
him
that
this
wil
make
him
more
lustie
againe
then
all
the
phisicke
in
the
world
.
I
let
you
iudge
with
what
audacitie
the
sicke
shall
dare
to
imbrace
this
counsell
?
But
if
it
chaunce
after
he
hath
béen
verie
ill
,
and
his
sicknes
begin
to
grow
away
,
he
come
to
recouer
straight
here
vpon
,
how
will
he
honour
this
Phisition
?
he
shall
neuer
be
able
sufficiently
to
set
foorth
his
praise
.
But
in
the
seruice
of
God
it
is
otherwise
,
we
must
eate
the
bread
of
affliction
and
sorrow
,
drinke
the
water
of
bitternes
,
which
are
verie
bitter
and
loathsome
drugs
to
swallow
,
as
things
much
offending
our
taste
,
whereas
in
the
seruice
inuented
by
the
Italians
,
there
is
nothing
but
that
which
is
verie
pleasant
to
our
humane
senses
,
and
which
doth
verie
well
agrée
with
our
carnall
nature
:
and
therefore
do
ignorant
men
imbrace
with
a
most
ardent
desire
,
all
that
they
inuent
,
which
when
they
haue
once
receiued
,
is
hard
to
be
rooted
out
of
them
,
because
their
eye
sight
is
not
quicke
inough
to
discouer
the
marke
whereat
they
shoote
,
which
is
only
to
beare
rule
,
and
to
share
and
make
boote
of
the
money
which
they
get
from
them
.
Cap.
15.
That
they
care
not
at
Rome
for
any
diuersitie
of
Religions
,
so
they
tend
only
to
maintaine
their
Domination
.
THis
is
most
manifest
,
for
if
any
man
inuent
any
new
form
of
religion
neuer
knowne
before
in
the
world
,
apparelling
himselfe
after
a
straunge
fashion
neuer
séene
before
,
vsing
iestures
altogither
rediculous
and
foolish
:
liuing
after
a
most
austere
,
to
cruell
and
brutish
maner
,
as
do
the
Capuchians
,
Fucillians
,
and
such
like
foolish
orders
of
Friars
,
all
shall
be
approued
and
receiued
by
the
Italians
with
great
plaudities
,
so
that
such
religions
will
serue
them
for
a
wall
and
defence
for
their
kingdome
and
gaine
:
but
if
any
one
appeare
or
come
neare
them
that
dare
speake
against
such
abuses
,
and
touch
them
to
the
quicke
a
litle
,
leaning
vpon
the
pillar
of
that
doctrine
,
which
hath
béen
giuen
from
the
terrestriall
Paradice
,
they
will
shake
a
heauen
and
earth
,
and
remoue
all
a
world
,
to
stop
his
mouth
and
kill
him
,
with
great
exclamations
,
that
he
went
about
to
sow
new
doctrines
,
and
begin
some
new
sect
of
religion
:
whereby
we
may
cléerely
sée
,
that
vnder
this
cloake
of
religion
,
they
do
but
aspire
to
be
rulers
;
and
to
finger
mony
from
other
peoples
and
nations
:
and
that
all
the
warres
and
ciuill
broyles
which
haue
so
long
troubled
Germany
,
Swicerland
,
all
Flanders
and
France
haue
byn
broched
and
begun
by
them
for
such
matters
,
albeit
,
those
who
had
the
conduct
thereof
,
enterprised
them
for
the
zeale
they
bore
to
their
owne
religion
.
Cap.
16.
That
the
Romanes
are
not
contented
to
staie
themselues
with
that
which
is
spirituall
,
but
would
also
dispose
the
kingdomes
of
the
earth
at
their
pleasure
.
THat
the
Italians
shoote
at
this
marke
also
,
I
bring
euident
proofe
,
that
when
they
had
set
their
matters
in
so
good
forwardnes
that
the
Emperour
and
the
other
Christian
kings
had
graunted
this
title
of
soueraigne
high
Priest
and
vniuersall
Bishop
to
their
Prelate
of
Rome
:
for
to
be
a
greater
staie
and
pillar
of
the
Christian
Church
,
and
to
kéepe
the
other
Bishops
and
Pastours
in
better
order
,
and
within
the
compasse
of
their
dutie
,
they
are
not
content
to
rest
with
that
:
passe
further
,
and
cause
to
preach
and
publish
by
word
and
writing
,
that
their
Bishop
is
Christes
onely
Lieftenant
on
earth
:
to
whom
all
Scepters
and
Crownes
must
yéeld
humble
obeisance
and
be
subiect
,
hauing
full
power
to
take
them
from
whom
he
list
,
and
giue
them
againe
to
others
,
as
it
may
best
please
his
Holines
.
And
touching
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
hée
hath
it
so
at
commandement
,
that
he
hath
power
to
open
it
to
some
,
and
to
shut
it
to
other
some
:
as
he
that
kéepeth
the
keyes
of
heauen
gates
in
his
owne
handes
:
as
for
Hell
,
his
power
serueth
him
as
well
to
send
thither
whole
Cart
loades
of
soules
,
no
man
so
bolde
for
his
life
as
to
aske
him
why
nor
wherefore
.
These
things
made
Kings
&
Princes
so
sore
astonished
,
that
the
Emperours
at
their
Coronation
abase
themselues
so
low
,
as
they
promise
to
serue
the
Pope
,
for
Subdeacon
to
hold
the
stirrope
while
he
get
on
horsebacke
,
and
to
leade
his
Horse
by
the
bridle
a
litle
while
.
A
worthie
péece
of
homage
for
the
Italians
to
remember
,
who
haue
exalted
their
Sea
and
Bishop
to
so
great
preheminence
.
Of
which
act
they
may
be
well
ashamed
,
as
also
of
the
dispossessing
of
Childericke
,
descended
from
Pharamond
,
of
the
Crowne
of
France
,
to
inuest
Pipin
,
great
Maister
of
the
Pallace
,
whome
he
had
sent
with
his
Army
to
succour
the
Romanes
,
against
other
Italians
,
in
recompence
of
his
conquestes
which
hée
forgaue
the
Pope
,
and
the
people
of
Rome
,
which
was
a
reward
out
of
other
mens
purses
,
for
it
cost
Childericke
full
deare
.
He
learned
not
this
by
the
succession
of
the
Apostles
,
neither
did
he
herein
imitate
Iesus
Christ
,
for
he
himselfe
paide
tribute
to
Caesar
:
and
he
(
whose
heire
and
successour
he
saith
he
is
)
teacheth
him
another
lesson
in
his
first
Epistle
,
Feare
God
,
Honour
the
King
.
And
S.
Paul
writing
to
the
Romanes
,
willeth
that
euerie
soule
bee
subiect
to
the
higher
powers
:
and
that
in
resisting
them
,
they
resist
the
ordinance
of
God
.
Likewise
S.
Iohn
Chrisostome
interpreting
this
place
saith
:
that
by
these
words
,
(
Euerie
soule
)
is
meant
Apostles
,
Prophets
,
Euangelists
,
Bishops
&
Monkes
,
none
excepted
.
In
like
manner
the
high
Priestes
representing
the
person
of
Iesus
Christ
,
did
neuer
enterprise
to
make
such
braueries
against
Dauid
,
Salomon
,
&
their
successours
,
kings
of
Ierusalem
.
Is
it
then
likely
that
a
Bishop
or
poore
Monke
should
go
about
such
high
enterprises
of
his
owne
motion
?
wée
may
easily
iudge
that
it
is
the
Italians
of
Rome
,
who
vnder
the
couering
of
their
names
,
and
by
their
subtill
meanes
extort
from
them
such
things
to
make
themselues
rulers
,
and
get
mony
vnder
the
maske
of
their
authorities
from
other
peoples
and
nations
of
the
earth
.
Cap.
17.
That
to
make
the
kings
of
the
earth
vassalles
tributary
to
the
Romanes
:
they
sow
warres
amongst
them
,
and
vse
Censures
.
ALthough
the
Italians
hauing
aduanced
their
capitall
Citie
and
high
Priestes
to
so
high
dignitie
and
soueraigntie
,
ought
to
haue
rested
content
without
encroching
any
further
:
yet
such
is
the
naturall
inclination
of
this
nation
,
that
hauing
an
inch
granted
them
,
they
will
take
an
ell
:
they
begin
now
to
cast
about
and
deuise
some
meanes
to
winde
vnder
their
armes
the
neckes
of
Christian
Kings
and
Princes
,
to
bring
them
to
be
their
tributarie
vassals
.
To
make
way
to
this
,
considering
that
from
the
beginning
the
Popes
were
not
admitted
in
the
election
of
Emperors
or
the
Kings
of
France
,
by
reason
wherof
,
they
could
not
so
well
master
them
,
nor
turne
and
winde
them
at
their
pleasure
,
because
they
durst
not
enterprise
against
them
so
fréely
:
the
Councell
of
Rome
taketh
away
this
obstacle
,
and
worketh
so
wel
in
the
matter
,
that
the
election
is
translated
to
the
Priests
of
Rome
,
who
are
my
Lordes
,
the
Cardinals
.
That
once
dispatched
,
séeing
themselues
greatly
aduanced
thereby
,
they
contriue
other
meanes
which
they
sée
more
fit
to
effect
their
purposes
,
whereof
one
is
to
stirre
vp
warres
and
debates
betwéene
Christian
Kings
&
Potentates
,
wherby
they
may
destroy
and
weaken
them selues
,
by
their
owne
proper
armes
,
and
bow
more
at
ease
their
neckes
vnder
the
Italian
Domination
.
The
other
is
by
the
Popes
censures
to
set
them
together
by
the
eares
with
domesticall
and
ciuill
quarrels
,
and
in
the
meane
time
while
they
iarre
,
to
get
some
prouince
or
kingdom
from
them
into
their
owne
handes
:
it
is
long
since
the
Romanes
vnderstood
this
practise
:
yea
a
good
while
before
the
domination
of
Caesar
.
For
desiring
to
bring
Greece
in
subiection
,
wherein
there
were
two
inuincible
leagues
,
to
wit
:
of
the
Achayans
and
Ethobians
,
who
held
so
fast
together
,
that
it
was
impossible
to
vanquish
them
any
way
by
armes
:
they
found
out
this
hole
to
enter
in
,
to
make
them
fall
to
warres
and
diuisions
among
them selues
,
so
to
ruinate
their
owne
countrie
,
that
they
might
more
easily
set
foote
into
their
prouinces
.
And
if
we
looke
well
vnto
the
violeries
that
Caesar
won
on
this
side
the
mountaines
,
the
Italians
redoubting
the
Switzers
,
more
then
any
nation
in
the
world
,
as
Cicero
saith
in
his
Philippickes
,
we
shall
sée
that
Caesar
charged
them
by
surprise
,
at
great
disaduantage
,
and
against
the
law
of
armes
:
they
hauing
passed
the
one
halfe
of
their
armie
ouer
the
riuer
Soane
,
and
the
other
remaining
on
the
other
side
of
the
riuer
,
could
not
come
to
fight
:
being
as
yet
then
no
declaration
made
of
open
warre
,
betwéene
the
Switzers
and
him
.
Besides
he
tooke
Ariomistius
chiefe
Captaine
of
the
Almanes
,
and
all
his
troupes
at
vnawares
,
and
assailed
them
in
time
of
truce
:
after
to
couer
his
sport
,
and
to
make
the
matter
good
,
he
saide
that
he
had
discouered
,
how
they
went
about
to
surprise
him
.
By
meanes
whereof
hauing
furnished
his
armie
with
two
strong
and
warlike
peoples
,
and
hauing
by
diuisions
that
he
sowed
euerie
where
,
got
most
of
the
Gawles
on
his
side
:
being
beside
verie
skilfull
to
kéepe
good
order
of
militarie
discipline
:
it
was
an
easiie
matter
for
him
to
ouerthrow
all
other
peoples
.
Amongst
the
rest
the
English
withstood
him
most
couragiously
at
the
first
,
and
gaue
him
repulse
,
but
he
went
another
way
about
with
them
,
for
before
he
departed
,
he
kindled
such
quarrels
and
diuisions
among
them
,
in
the
which
they
were
verie
hote
one
against
another
before
he
returned
to
set
vpon
them
againe
:
wherefore
it
was
an
easie
mater
for
him
to
vanquish
and
conquest
them
afterwardes

The

princes
together
by
the
eares
,
and
the
way
how
they
discouer
all
their
counsels
and
enterprises
.
THe
Romane
Councell
hath
got
some
more
aduantage
by
this
their
pollicie
and
deuice
,
since
the
creation
of
their
Pope
:
for
pretending
to
bring
all
kinges
,
peoples
and
princes
of
christianitie
,
Catholikes
,
as
well
spirituall
as
temporall
vnto
their
subiection
,
vnder
cloake
of
their
Bishops
,
they
haue
spunne
the
thred
of
all
the
warres
which
haue
béene
betwéene
the
Emperours
,
and
other
christian
princes
,
so
to
bring
them
on
their
knées
,
and
to
vndermine
them
that
waies
,
that
they
must
still
of
force
haue
recourse
to
them
,
as
to
a
place
of
refuge
and
protection
,
the
onely
meane
to
pull
downe
their
hautie
stomakes
,
and
to
set
the
Italian
farre
aboue
them
.
To
passe
ouer
this
plancke
well
,
they
haue
giuen
the
name
of
Cardinals
to
the
priestes
of
Rome
,
granting
the
sonnes
and
brethren
of
kinges
and
christian
princes
,
to
be
honoured
with
the
same
title
and
estate
:
suffering
them
also
to
remaine
with
their
traine
amongst
them
.
To
the
end
that
by
these
their
creatures
they
might
handle
and
turne
the
other
at
their
deuotion
,
make
them
arme
their
people
,
and
march
against
their
neighbours
at
their
pleasure
,
and
disarme
againe
and
retire
,
their
forces
when
they
should
serue
God
.
Considering
also
that
by
such
persons
,
the
Councels
wils
,
and
determinations
of
kinges
and
christian
princes
,
to
the
which
they
are
called
,
should
thereby
be
reuealed
and
manifested
to
them
.
The
quicke
spirited
Venetians
,
hauing
long
time
since
discouered
this
pollicie
,
being
a
people
of
Italie
verie
subtill
,
and
well
aduised
,
would
neuer
permit
that
any
ecclesiasticall
person
should
be
admitted
into
their
Councell
,
because
they
had
all
taken
the
oth
of
the
Pope
of
Rome
.
Sée
then
it
appeareth
that
the
Romanes
are
priuie
to
all
the
counsels
and
enterpriser
of
the
princes
of
the
earth
,
and
of
their
highest
and
soueraine
courtes
,
they
discouer
all
their
actions
,
as
well
as
if
they
were
present

where
on
the
contrary
,
not
one
of
these
can
come
within
them
to
vnder
féele

,
they
are
so
close
and
secrete
,
whereby
we
may
iudge
clearely

The

magnanimitie
of

.
NOw
I
come
to
another
deuice
of
theires
,
by
the
which
they
haue
so
cunningly
triumphed
ouer
the
kinges
of
the
earth
,
neuer
striking
stroke
for
the
matter
,
and
without
any
daunger
at
al
,
and
yet
they
haue
brought
them
vnder
as
much
or
more
then
euer
the
auncient
Romanes
did
by
their
Trophées
and
great
victories
,
to
wit
:
by
excommunication
,
with
the
which
they
so
frighted
them
,
that
if
they
had
neuer
so
little
displeased
them
:
by
and
by
they
were
threatned
with
rebellion
of
their
subiectes
,
to
haue
their
scepters
taken
from
them
,
and
others
to
be
inuested
therewith
incontinent
,
hauing
no
way
in
the
world
to
resist
or
saue
them selues
,
but
in
humbling
them selues
vnder
the
greatnesse
of
their
Bishops
,
yéelding
them selues
to
be
the
Popes
vassals
,
or
in
paying
them
otherwise
some
great
and
intollerable
tributes
.
By
this
meanes
they
exacted
from
Iohn
king
of
England
,
that
all
his
subiectes
should
pay
him
a
penny
sterling
for
fire
,
for
the
murther
by
him
committed
on
the
person
of
Arthure
Duke
of
Britanie
,
his
owne
Nephew
and
heire
,
which
tribute
the
Italians
mined
from
them
,
more
then
the
terme
of
trhée
hundred
yeares
,
albeit
the
fault
of
this
murther
was
not
in
the
people
,
&
therefore
they
payed
this
tribute
verie
vniustly
,
and
against
all
reason
.
Yet
they
found
meanes
to
augment
this
tribute
verie
much
,
by
the
death
of
the
Archbishop
of
Cauterburie
,
who
was
executed
by
command
of
the
king
.
Yet
had
the
Italians
nothing
to
doe
in
the
matter
,
hauing
no
interest
at
all
therein
,
being
neither
his
heires
nor
children
.
Another
tribute
was
exacted
of
the
Polonians
,
for
the
murther
committed
on
the
person
of
Stauislaus
their
Arch-bishop
,
to
,
which
is
paide
for
S.
Peters
tongue
.
The
Pope
hauing
thundered
by
excommunication
against
the
duke
of
Venis
,
he
was
faine
to
make
him
quiet
,
to
créepe
on
all
foure
like
a
Dog
,
hauing
a
rope
about
his
necke
,
to
be
absolued
.
The
kinges
of
Nauarre
,
and
Granade
for
disobeying
him
,
were
dispossessed
of
their
kingdomes
,
which
were
bestowed
on
Ferdinand
king
of
Spaine
,
yet
the
Italians
did
not
forget
themselues
in
this
match
,
as
in
déed
they
must
neuer
:
for
it
was
vpon
this
condition
,
that
they
should
afterwarde
be
held
of
their
Pope
of
Rome
.
Pope
Nicholas
excommunicated
the
kinges
of
Naples
and
Sicilie
:
and
making
them
turne
ouer
a
new
leafe
,
inuested
the
Duke
of
Aniow
brother
to
Lewes
the
ninth
,
yet
not
forgetting
him selfe
,
as
we
saide
before
:
vpon
condition
to
pay
him
eight
thousand
ounces
of
gold
yearely
reuenue
.
He
excommunicated
also
Philippes
le
Bel
king
of
France
,
because
hee
would
not
hold
his
kingdom
of
him
,
as
his
vassall
:
but
he
being
discended
of
the
race
of
Hue
le
grand
Countie
of
Paris
,
quaked
not
a
whit
at
the
matter
,
but
with
a
magnanimious
courage
,
proper
to
the
kinges
of
this
race
,
constantly
resisted
,
and
neuer
trembled
at
the
hearing
thereof
,
as
other
christian
kinges
did
,
whose
great
magnanimitie
hath
béene
continued
by
his
successours
.
This
was
the
cause
that
the
Italian
Councell
laide
their
heades
together
to
doe
their
vttermost
to
ruine
this
Monarchy
,
by
forraine
forces
,
making
it
to
bee
assailed
on
euerie
side
,
and
hauing
set
the
Armies
of
the
Empire
of
Spaine
and
England
,
to
thrust
this
race
out
of
their
kingdom
,
which
séemed
to
them
inuincible
.
But
perceiuing
all
that
tooke
not
effect
,
as
they
did
wish
,
they
haue
filled
the
State
full
of
ciuill
warres
,
thereby
to
weaken
and
diminish
the
force
of
this
kingdome
,
and
to
make
way
to
inuest
some
other
with
the
Crowne
:
who
should
thinke
him selfe
borne
vnder
an
happie
planet
,
and
greatly
beholding
to
them
,
to
come
by
it
so
easily
,
yéelding
him selfe
therefore
there
vassall
and
homager
,
hauing
purloyned
a
kingdome
by
there
meanes
.
Who
also
would
be
easily
entreated
to
let
slip
the
accords
confirmed
betwéene
our

for

onely
translating
them
ouer
wholy
to
the
Pope
,
and
so
to
enrich
more
and
more
the
citie
of
Rome
.
And
by
this
meane
we
should
sée
this
flourishing
kingdom
parted

as

&

,
betwéene

That
it
is
a
verie
false
pretext
that
they
take
,
to
refuse
the
King
for
his
religion
sake
,
seeing
they
haue
a
spite
at
all
his
race
,
and
wish
them
no
more
well
,
although
they
were
neuer
so
great
catholikes
.
THat
this
hath
béene
the
drift
of
the
Italians
,
the
proofe
is
most
manifest
in
this
,
that
although
Charles
the
ninth
,
and
Henrie
the
third
of
this
name
his
brother
,
were
the
most
religious
obseruers
of
the
ceremonies
of
the
church
of
Rome
,
and
more
precise
then
any
kinges
that
had
béene
before
them
,
sparing
nothing
to
ruine
and
rout
out
the
religion
of
the
protestant
Huguenots
,
not
so
much
as
their
owne
persons
,
life
,
treasure
,
nor
liuings
,
nor
their
faith
and
honour
beside
,
which
is
more
.
Yet
for
all
that
,
could
they
neuer
winne
the
fauour
and
good
will
of
the
Italians
,
nothing
neare
other
princes
,
who
had
wrought
little
in
comparison
of
them
.
And
what
was
the
cause
hereof
but
that
the
Italians
foresaw
that
a
race
of
auncient
,
and
so
long
time
inuested
with
the
Crowne
of
France
:
would
neuer
abide
that
they
should
haue
anie
rule
or
prerogatiue
ouer
them
nor
in
no
waies
permit
that
the
liberties
and
couenants
made
betwéee
their
predecessors
,
the
kinges
,
and
the
Popes
for
the
benefit
of
their
kingdome
should
be
infringed
.
This
is
the
reason
why
the
Councell
of
Rome
hath
sought
all
meanes
possible
to
enstall
other
princes
in
their
roome
,
and
to
bring
it
to
passe
:
haue
emploied
all
their
Preachers
,
begging
Friers
,
and
other
Ecclesiastikes
,
to
vomit
out
all
kinde
of
blame
and
shame
most
opprobriously
against
the
said
King
Henry
the
third
deceassed
,
placing
him
in
the
rancke
of
the
most
abhominable
tyrants
,
&
murtherers
of
the
world
,
whome
by
their
count
,
hee
should
surpasse
in
the
periode
of
all
mischiefe
:
extolling
aboue
the
heauens
with
the
highest
titles
of
praise
which
they
could
deuise
,
some
other
Princes
,
thereby
to
adiure
them
,
and
make
euerie
one
honour
them
,
loue
them
,
and
make
much
of
them
.
But
to
shew
that
the
Italians
and
their
partners
meant
no
good
,
not
onely
to
the
deceased
Kings
person
,
but
also
to
all
his
race
in
generall
,
sée
wée
not
plainly
that
when
they
had
by
treason
caused
him
to
bée
murthered
,
they
continue
their
selfesame
practises
towardes
those
of
the
house
of
Bourbon
,
issued
of
the
last
sonne
of
S.
Lewes
,
called
Robert
Countie
of
Clermont
?
vpon
whom
,
seeing
they
can
laie
no
blame
,
for
that
they
are
the
true
and
lawfull
heires
of
this
Crowne
,
they
thinke
to
disherite
him
who
is
the
eldest
son
and
heire
,
whose
place
he
holdeth
and
representeth
:
vpon
a
coulour
onely
that
he
beléeueth
not
as
much
or
more
in
the
Constitutions
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
as
in
the
word
of
God
,
and
by
this
text
,
they
win
the
good
will
of
the
people
,
and
of
other
ignorant
people
.
But
when
they
contemne
those
of
this
house
,
making
warre
against
them
,
who
haue
béen
most
zealous
and
affectionate
to
their
Constitutions
,
who
haue
also
for
defence
thereof
,
exposed
their
liues
and
goods
to
all
daungers
,
as
haue
done
the
Dukes
of
Mont
Pensier
,
both
father
&
sonne
:
do
they
not
shew
,
that
they
are
thorowly
resolued
to
destroy
this
race
,
and
to
translate
this
Crowne
vnto
some
other
progeny
?
Touching
the
Kinge
,
who
is
at
this
present
:
they
should
neuer
be
able
to
attaint
or
staine
him
with

of
any
crueltie
,
tiranny
,
nor
any
other
insufficiencie
to

for

if
they

not

But
he

that

Wherin

And

of

neither

gone

witnes
sufficient

And
touching
his
wealth
,
he
hath
alway
had
twentie
times
as
much
as
hath
had
any
aduersarie
he
hath
,
hauing
at
the

of
his

more
then
a
million
of

by
his

and
yéerely
reuenue

which
he
might
haue
multiplied
to

much
more

if
hée
would
haue
pinched

sucked
his

by
taxings
,
sales
of

and
rearing
of

as
some
Italians
haue
caused
to
bee
done
in
France

Let
them
then
laie
away
these
false

wherewith
they
disguise
the
truth
of
things
,
and
let
vs
beléeue
for
a
troth
,
as
it
is
true
indéed
,
that
the
Italians
séeke
nothing
els
but
to
translate
the
Crowne
into
some

,
which
will
bow
their
neckes
vnder
their

,
and
suffer
them
to
fish
this
Realme
for

,
to

Inquisition
,
to
admit

Councell

to

The
great
subtilty
of
the
counsell
of
Rome
in
getting
into
their
hands
the
Souerantie
of
the
newfound
world
conquered
by
the
Spaniards
.
BVt
I
cannot
so
often
call
to
minde
the
conquest
of
the
new
world
,
as
I
wounder
at
the
great
subtiltie
of
the
counsell
of
Rome
,
and
againe
at
the
more
then
great
simplicitie
in
the
Spanyards
and
Portingales
behalfe
:
for
the
Italians
perceauing
to
their
great
griefe
their
Domination
and
tributes
,
to
bee
cut
of
in
the
East
and
North
partes
,
as
well
by
the
conquests
of
the
Turke
,
as
by
the
preaching
of
.
Luther
,
as
also
Pope
Alexander
the
sixt
had
set
in
his
foote
at
the
parting
of
stakes
,
and
made
the
diuision
:
geuing
on
halfe
to
the
one
king
and
the
other
to
the
other
,
reseruing
for
himselfe
the
séesimple
,
principall
Iurisdiction
and
Souerayntie
,
making
these
two
Kinges
consent
to
bee
his
vassals
,
and
to
holde
their
countries
of
him
,
although
he
had
neither
right
of
seruice
,
nor
of
possession
,
and
was
not
the
discouerer
neither
.
Yet
sée
,
this
parte
was
handled
with
such
cuning
and
craft
,
that
the
Italian
became
therby
Souerayne
Lord
of
twise
so
much
soyle
and
country
as
all
Christendom
vnder
the
name
of
their
Pope
,
And
by
what
meane
?
you
shall
not
finde
it
to
bee
by
his
great
trauels
,
perils
,
and
expences
,
but
by
the
laboures
bloudshedings
,
and
armes
of
the
Spanyardes
who
venture
bodyes
and
goodes
,
exposing
themselues
to
infinte
perils
,
troubles
and
hazardes
,
to
shipwracks
of
the
sea
,
in
danger
of
many
Pyrates
and
Rouers
before
the
can
come
thether
:
and
when
the
are
once
there
and
entred
into
the
country
,
fainte
to
fight
many
combats
and
battels
,
and
worse
then
all
this
,
to
fall
into
many
strange
and
incurable
diseases
,
which
procéede
of
chaunge
of
ayer
and
habitation
,
when
men
transporte
themselues
into
farre
countryes
,
where
the
clymate
is
of
farre
more
excessiue
heate
and
colde
then
their
owne
was
.
Now
whileste
these
nations
endure
these
trauels
and
sorrowes
,
worse
then
twenty
deathes
,
the
Italians
are
at
whome
in
there
sumptuas
and
braue
pallaces
,
out
of
all
daunger
,
passing
the
time
in
al
voleptuous
pleasure
,
neuerthelesse
they
haue
the
most
pretious
and
fayrest
fléece
of
their
conquestes
reserued
for
them
,
euen
as
well
,
as
if
they
themselues
had
bine
the
onely
attempters
and
atchiuers
of
theise
so
hawty
and
dangerous
exploytes
.
But
let
vs
looke
a
little
yf
there
were
euer
any
Kinges
or
Emperours
,
who
griped
so
easily
whole
countries
and
kingdomes
from
others
,
as
these
doe
:
Cyrus
,
one
of
the
first
,
after
hee
had
sustayned
infinit
turmoyles
and
trauels
,
lost
his
life
and
had
his
head
put
in
a
bole
of
bloud
,
to
quench
it
so
insaciable
desire
of
blood
:
Alexander
the
great
found
himselfe
in
often
Ieoperdies
to
lose
his
also
,
and
was
many
times
ouer
matched
,
and
put
to
the
worst
.
Iulius
and
Augustus
Caesars
,
the
most
politicke
and
wisest
heads
of
the
world
,
neuer
made
any
conquest
but
by
bloody
fightes
and
victories
,
exposing
themselues
to
a
thousand
dangers
both
by
sea
and
land
:
But
now
the
counsell
of
Rome
taking
there
ease
at
thir
owne
home
,
neuer
approching
any
danger
for
the
matter
,
haue
inuested
themselus
with
the
Seigniorie
and
Domination
of
the
greatest
countres
that
euer
haue
bine
conquested
by
the
sword
.
O
subtill
heades
,
more
subtil
and
cawtelous
then
subtiltie
it selfe
.
O
that
the
high
reache
of
thine
inuentions
are
eleuated
many
degrées
aboue
all
other
nations
of
the
earth
.
O
that
thou
forséest
long
before
the
euent
of
things
,
and
canst
choose
the
gaynest
wayes
to
attayne
thy
desires
:
few
or
none
there
be
that
can
discouer
thy
meanning
,
thou
winnest
first
the
heart
of
the
greatest
part
of
those
;
the
third
of
whose
ruine
thou
meanest
to
spin
:
afterwardes
to
vnderprop
thy selfe
against
those
that
refuse
thy
Domination
,
and
will
not
become
thy
tributary
vassals
.
Thou
wilt
knowe
all
things
,
and
yet
thou
wilt
kéepe
other
people
in
such
ignorance
,
that
they
shall
know
nothing
:
thus
thou
vsest
them
at
thy
pleasure
,
lest
they
should
bewray
thée
in
thy
subtill
shifts
,
and
beware
of
them
hereafter
.
This
is
they
reason
why
a
long
time
thou
hast
layd
a
blocke
in
the
way
,
that
all
matters
of
great
consequence
either
concerning
Religion
,
or
otherwise
of
any
other
great
importance
could
not
be
registered
but
in
thine
old
mother
toung
the
Latine
,
and
sore
against
thy
will
it
hath
bine
if
the
haue
bine
written
or
Printed
in
any
other
language
because
that
it
maketh
a
breach
,
and
sheweth
a
readie
way
for
many
to
come
to
discouer
the
fertilitie
of
thy
spirit
,
abounding
with
so
many
subtilities
,
fetches
,
drifts
,
and
deceites
.
Sée
this
is
the
cause
also
why
thou
wilt
not
permit
the
nations
of
the
new
conquested
countries
to
vnderstand
any
thing
concerning
religion
or
matters
of
State
,
that
thou
maist
lead
them
by
the
noses
,
and
handle
them
as
if
they
were
so
many
bruit
Animals
that
had
neither
wit
nor

The
causes
why
the
mony
that
is
transported
to
Rome
,
is
called
by
the
name
of
Quintessence
.
NOw
we
haue
sufficiently
spoken
of
the
Dominations
of
the
Romanes
,
we
will
passe
to
the
next
point
touching
the
extraction
of
the
Quintessence
of
purses
,
where
ye
must
note
that
I
take
purses
,
for
the
gold
and
siluer
that
is
put
in
them
,
speaking
by
a
figuratiue
spéech
,
for
I
borrow
these
termes
by
a
similitude
:
for
euen
as
in
all
liquers
,
be
it
of
Wines
,
Oyles
,
Plants
,
Sulpheres
,
Allums
,
Antymoines
,
and
other
Mynerals
,
they
who
are
skilled
to
draw
out
the
tinctures
or
proprieties
,
and
can
seperate
them
from
the
terrestriall
and
elementall
bodie
,
as
could
that
great
Philosopher
Paracelsas
Gesnerus
,
and
he
that
wrote
the
booke
intitled
,
le
Medecin
Liebant
:
these
haue
the
swéete
fruition
of
the
finest
and
most
precious
part
of
the
bodies
and
naturall
substances
,
whereof
the
more
celestiall
and
spirituall
part
is
called
Quintessence
.
In
like
maner
the
Romanes
hauing
learned
by
incomparable
skil
and
artistry
,
to
draw
vnto
themselues
the
most
noble
portable
,
the
most
desirable
and
fairest
coyne
of
all
Christendome
,
leauing
the
grosser
,
and
more
terrestriall
sort
of
baser
monies
to
the
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
people
of
Christendome
for
their
vsage
,
appropriating
to
themselues
the
more
spirituall
and
celestiall
part
,
which
they
can
tell
how
to
seperate
from
the
temporall
and
earthly
:
are
verie
well
said
to
draw
the
Quintessence
out
of
their
purses

Of
the
excellencie
of
the
mony
which
is
carried
to
Rome
out
of
other
countries
,
and
how
the
Italians
onely
can
fetch
it
thither
.
TO
shewe
this
by
a
familiar
example
,
regarde
but
a
man
that
is
of
base
condition
,
who
hath
onely
but
fiftie
or
sixtie
crownes
of
yéerly
rent
for
a
péece
of
land
that
he
holdeth
by
féefarme
,
lying
within
the
demaines
of
some
Baron
or
Countie
,
he
will
make
more
account
of
that
péece
,
then
of
thrée
or
foure
times
so
much
lying
among
Pesants
,
or
that
he
gathereth
among
country
Farmers
,
bragging
of
it
euerie
where
.
Now
sée
we
some
Bishop
,
or
poore
Monke
comming
to
bée
Pope
,
to
haue
rentes
and
tributes
out
of
the
kingdomes
of
Spaine
,
Portugall
,
Naples
,
Sicily
,
and
Polonia
,
and
as
hée
was
woont
also
out
of
the
kingdome
of
England
,
where
as
all
Christian
Kings
and
Princes
take
no
tribute
:
but
for
the
most
part
of
poore
,
base
and
miserable
people
their
subiects
,
readier
to
take
then
to
giue
,
and
this
must
they
do
by
Taxes
,
Subsidies
,
Fiftéenes
,
and
such
like
paiments
.
Herein
we
may
sée
the
marueilous
excellencie
of
the
Popes
tributes
aboue
those
of
all
our
Kings
.
And
to
shew
how
the
swéetest
mony
and
most
desired
of
all
,
goeth
still
to
the
partes
of
Rome
:
marke
but
the
common
fashion
of
euerie
one
,
that
falleth
into
want
of
mony
:
hée
wisheth
straight
but
to
haue
a
hundred
or
two
of
crownes
out
of
the
Abbots
or
Bishops
purse
,
who
is
next
to
the
place
where
he
dwelleth
,
as
being
such
fellowes
which
haue
least
néed
,
and
yet
haue
the
greatest
plentie
of
all
:
albeit
,
they
may
wish
for
it
long
inough
before
they
haue
it
to
fill
their
purses
,
because
they
can
deuise
no
shift
proper
for
the
obteining
of
their
desire
,
although
they
be
his
verie
next
neighbours
.
But
the
Italians
,
they
can
worke
such
a
way
,
and
handle
their
matters
so
well
,
that
they
can
scrape
&
hooke
to
them
a
thousand
crownes
from
one
place
,
and
twise
as
many
from
another
,
the
distance
of
an
hundreth
leagues
or
more
,
and
the
difficultie
of
passing
ouer
the
mountaines
cannot
hinder
them
a
iote

How
that
this
mony
when
it
is
transported
to
Rome
,
doth
flie
with
an
incredible
swiftnesse
.
YEt
to
prooue
better
that
the
name
of
Quintessence
,
is
properly
attributed
to
the
gold
that
they
share
from
other
people
of
Christendome
,
I
pray
thée
gentle
Reader
,
consider
that
the
substance
of
Quintessence
is
of
so
celestiall
a
nature
,
that
if
it
be
not
verie
closely
kept
,
and
enclosed
within
some
vessell
for
that
purpose
,
it
léeseth
straight
the
vertue
,
and
flieth
away
by
vapours
into
the
ayre
:
so
this
gold
which
they
fetch
so
farre
to
Rome
,
hath
such
an
excellencie
more
then
all
other
money
hath
,
and
hath
both
value
&
vertue
,
none
like
it
,
that
we
haue
:
not
onely
for
that
it
is
leuied
with
such
wonderfull
celeritie
,
and
vnusuall
spéed
.

For
when

they
spare
no
Horse
flesh
to

they

,
and
being
vrged
by
necessitie
,
and
then
the
poore
people
paie
such
summes
sore
against
their
will
,
putting
it
of
as
long
as
they
may
.
Then
must
there
be
straining
of
moueables
,
and
much
heauing
&
shouing
to
haue
them
againe
,
hatred
,
despleasure
,
anger
,
ill
will
,
much
adoo
,
and
great
delaie
on
euery
side
,
so
that
it
will
aske
commonly
thrée
,
or
foure
moneths
at
the
least
,
to
collect
,
and
deliuer
in
these
Deniers
to
the
receipts
,
although
it
might
easily
be
carried
thither
in
thrée
or
foure
houres
:
and
in
verie
déede
may
be
saide
to
march
but
with
wodden
legges
,
in
respect
of
the
swift
course
and
great
celeritie
,
of
that
which
is
transported
to
Rome
.
This
may
verie
well
shew
,
that
the
qualitie
and
nature
thereof
,
is
farre
more
excellent
and
pretious
,
then
of
that
coine
which
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
possesse
.
Yet
some
may
peraduenture
reply
,
that
that
which
commeth
by
the
sale
of
offices
,
approcheth
verie
néere
the
nature
thereof
,
I
will
confesse
so
,
but
I
will
also
answere
,
that
such
trafficke
is
but
an
Italian
tricke
and
inuention
,
for
that
by
all
lawes
and
ordinances
,
both
of
God
and
man
,
all
such
sales
are
forbidden
as
most
pernicious
,
and
greatly
damageable
to
the
common
wealth
,
and
matters
most
vnworthie
&
vnbeséeming
all
good
Christians
,
that
haue
the
feare
of
God
before
their
eyes
.

A
description
made
,
by
learned
men
which
hath
alwaies
feared
the
Councell
of
Rome
,
and
the
causes
why
.
I
Thinke
I
haue
said
inough
of
the
Domination
and
filching
of
mony
,
wherewith
the
Italians
haue
a
great
while
preuailed
to
fill
their
pockets
,
&
to
master
the
world
.
Now
must
I
speake
of
the
meanes
wherwith
they
serue
their
turn
to
maintaine
themselus
in
their
estate
,
&
to
make
it
good
against
al
other
.
And
albeit
,
in
inuention
and
deuising
,
the
yare
so
cunning
,
and
can
passe
and
make
séeme
good
to
euerie
one
,
that
which
they
haue
inuented
and
deuised
:
yet
are
they
farre
more
expert
in
kéeping
their
estate
,
and
can
remoue
and
preuent
all
lets
that
may
endamage
them
to
hold
their
owne
.
Foreséeing
then
that
they
had
intangled
the
people
of
Europe
within
their
Domination
,
vnder
the
pretence
and
cloake
of
religion
,
there
was
no
more
likelihood
that
the
people
might
euer
pull
their
neckes
out
of
their
yoake
,
being
farre
grosser
and
harder
to
receiue
anie
chaunge
,
then
the
people
of
Affrike
:
séeing
also
that
all
that
they
feared
was
,
lest
that
some
,
addicting
themselues
to
the
contemplation
of
Gods
workes
,
to
the
studie
of
Philosophie
,
and
to
the
reading
and
perusing
of
the
holie
scriptures
in
the
language
wherein
they
were
written
,
might
view
all
the
religions
that
are
vsed
vnder
the
scope
of
the
heauens
,
and
séeke
out
the
first
causes
,
principles
,
and
inuentors
thereof
,
and
hauing
curiously
examined
all
,
might
make
these
conclusions
:
viz.
that
all
religion
is
either
diuine
or
humane
:
that
the
diuine
is
procéeded
from
God
,
the
other
from
men
:
that
by
the
diuine
,
there
is
nothing
required
at
our
hands
but
to
offer
our selues
,
soules
,
and
bodies
to
God
,
to
do
that
which
is
his
will
,
which
is
to
follow
vertue
,
and
to
flie
vice
,
to
call
vpon
him
and
adore
his
holie
name
,
and
for
our
sinnes
,
I
haue
recourse
vnto
the
mercie
that
he
offereth
vs
in
Iesus
Christ
,
the
which
he
offereth
vs
fréely
without
our
mony
or
riches
,
onely
enioyning
vs
charitably
to
helpe
and
loue
one
another
.
On
the
other
side
,
casting
their
eyes
vpon
humane
religion
,
they
shall
sée
that
all
religions
that
men
haue
,
whether
they
be
Pastors
of
the
church
,
or
who
soeuer
they
be
:
for
their
authours
,
tend
onely
but
to
get
rule
,
&
to
draw
away
the
substance
of
those
that
embrace
them
,
and
are
fitter
to
tye
men
by
the
féete
to
this
earth
,
then
to
carrie
them
vp
to
heauen
,
where
the
seate
of
God
is
.
Concluding
likewise
this
:
that
,
that
religion
is
best
,
by
the
which
God
is
best
serued
:
then
it
must
néedes
follow
,
that
following
his
will
declared
by
his
word
,
he
is
better
serued
,
then
by
the
traditions
of
men
:
wherefore
we
must
not
go
beyond
that
,
as
being
the
onely
obiect
of
faith
,
and
as
being
the
onely
thing
which
agreeth
with
his
Doctours
and
Preachers
in
all
the
partes
of
the
world
,
to
wit
,
the
Firmament
,
with
his
admirable
greatnes
and
beautie
almost
incomprehensible
:
the
Planets
placed
betwéene
it
and
vs
:
the
ayre
,
and
that
which
is
engendred
therein
,
the
earth
,
the
water
,
and
the
creatures
which
liue
and
moue
in
the
same
,
altogither
setting
forth
from
the
one
ende
of
the
world
to
the
other
,
the
greatnes
,
maiestie
,
wisdom
,
prouidence
,
power
,
and
bountie
of
God
the
Creator
and
preseruer
of
the
same
.
On
the
other
side
,
seruing
to
conuince
vs
of
weakenes
of
spirit
,
of
ignorance
,
of
blindnes
,
and
vncapablenes
to
comprehend
his
essence
,
his
profound
wisedome
,
and
the
meane
wherby
he
hath
created
all
these
things
,
how
he
conserueth
them
in
their
being
,
and
how
he
worketh
euery
daye
in
the
diuersitie
of
so
many
things
which
we
sée
before
our
eyes
,
to
learue
vs
thereby
,
that
it
is
an
intollerable
auragancie
,
and
presumption
in
men
to
thinke
to
be
his
councellers
,
to
make
lawes
,
like
lictle
Kings
,
in
his
Church
,
which
he
calleth
the
Kingdome
of
heanen
,
and
his
Spowse
:
to
there
great
shame
which
name
themselues
seruants
in
the
same
,
by
whome
a
great
ouersight
and
rashnes
(
not
to
be
borne
with
all
,
)
goe
about
to
establish
in
it
certaine
humaine
Constitutons
,
as
though
they
weere
to
command
and
not
to
obay
.
For
séeing
that
it
is
his
Spowse
:
seruantes
must
not
be
so
saucie
as
to
make
Lawes
for
her
to
bee
at
their
checke
.
Séeing
then
that
hée
is
the
soueraigne
King
,
and
him
before
whome
all
things
are
present
,
no
man
may
enterprise
such
things
without
encroching
vpon
his
kingdom
,
reputing
himselfe
of
greater
wisedome
then
hee
,
who
is
his
creatour
,
which
are
greuous
offences
deseruing
very
great
punishments
,
and
cleane
contrary
to
our
dutie
towards
God
,
which
is
to
shew
our selues
,
humble
,
lowly
and
glad
to
bee
taught
by
him
,
and
to
tremble
at
his
words
,
as
this
Dampish
earth
an
insensible
and
deafe
creature
taught
vs
,
at
the
publication
of
the
law
,
when
it
reeled
,
trembled
and
was
readie
to
shake
in
sunder
at
the
voyce
of
God
.
Moreouer
what
fayre
shew
soeuer
they
can
set
on
the
Constitutions
of
Pastors
,
the
shall
alwayes
be
humaine
,
and
whosoeuer
obayeth
them
,
obayeth
but
men
and
there
inuentions
.
But
he
that
woulde
looke
with
a
vigilant
eye
to
the
neere
examination
and
déepe
sownding
therof
:
shal
easily
discouer
,
that
their
only
purpose
is
to
amplifie
there
authoritie
more
and
more
still
,
and
to
drawe
coyne
from
people
secretly
,
selling
that
at
an
hard
and
deare
rate
which
God
geueth
vs
fréely
,
and
offereth
vs
most
gratis
.
And
this
is
the
reason
why
the
Italyans
fearing
lest
the
publications
of
such
doctrine
altogether
heauenly
and
diuine
,
would
make
there
Domination
shake
from
the
top
,
quickly
turne
it
vp
side
downe
,
and
soone
diminish
all
the
profits
that
the
reape
out
of
the
countries
of
all
Christendome
,
by
meanes
of
their
reaching
inuentions
:
they
haue
therefore
by
a
most
subtill
péece
of
prouidence
toke
order
in
the
matter
that
the
Doctrine
and
lessons
of
these
men
come
not
to
light
by
remedies
which
séeme
to
be
the
fittest
in
the
world
for
their
purpose
.
Cap.

The
first
meanes
that
the
Romanis
vse
to
maintaine
their
Domination
.
FIrst
,
to
preuent
lest
any
should
attaine
to
so
great
knowledge
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
that
they
should
finde
out
of
themselues
the
most
perfect
and
onely
wholsome
meanes
of
saluation
to
consist
therein
,
and
to
despise
all
other
humaine
seruices
:
the
haue
caused
all
that
concerneth
the
Diuine
seruice
to
be
written
and
pronounced
in
a
tongue
out
of
vse
with
all
nations
,
the
vnderstanding
whereof
cannot
be
attayned
,
but
in
consuming
many
yeares
great
trauels
,
and
much
cost
,
to
th
ende
to
kéepe
the
people
still
in
ignorance
of
the
true
way
to
serue
God
.
Taking
good
héede
not
to
translate
it
into
Italian
,
lest
by
and
by
they
should
proue
to
lerned
to
suffer
the
councell
of
Rome
,
to
handle
them
as
they
haue
done
.
And
beside
all
this
to
vse
the
matter
so
,
that
the
that
vnderstand
Latine
should
not
learne
to
much
by
the
lecture
of
the
Epistles
and
Gospels
,
the
haue
set
downe
an
order
that
the
shall
sing
them
with
such
a
Note
,
that
those
which
vnderstand
the
tongue
very
well
otherwise
,
shall
not
vnderstand
much
more
in
that
place
,
then
the
ignorant
people
:
for
to
speake
troth
the
councell
of
Rome
vseth
the
word
of
God
no
further
,
but
so
fare
as
it
will
serue
for
there
Domination
and
enriching
in
other
partes
of
Christendome
,
and
would
be
willing
that
whatsoeuer
therin
is
contained
importing
any
disaduantage
to
their
dealinges
,
had
bine
cut
of
fiue
hundred
yeares
since
,
for
that
they
haue
no
néede
of
it
,
obseruing
therein
verie
well
the
saying
of
a
certaine
Philosopher
vsed
in
these
speaches
:
Take
heede
leste
in
seeking
to
much
the
Heauen
,
yee
loose
not
the
earth
.
Which
is
as
much
to
say
:
that
they
must
prefere
earthly
things
before
the
kingdome
of
God
.
As
we
sée
the
Italians
doe
,
interpreting
or
reading
Gods
commandements
when
the
cutof
the
defences
made
in
the
law
of
God
,
againste
Images
:
whereof
one
is
,
not
to
make
Images
,
another
not
to
bow
downe
to
them
,
and
the
third
not
to
worship
them
.
Would
they
euer
do
this
,
thinke
you
,
but
that
they
foresée
that
the
true
vnderstanding
of
this
commandement
,
wold
coole
&
fréeze
the
zeale
of
those
that
bring
offrings
to
the
worshipping
of
their
Images
,
with
the
which
they
licke
their
lippes
full
swéetly
.
But
they
will
not
I
warrant
you
,
peruert
or
misconster
this
article
.
Thou
art
Peter
,
and
vpon
this
Rocke
will
I
build
my
Church
.
All
the
world
shall
heare
,
what
these
wordes
signifie
,
they
will
want
no
Trumpets
for
the
matter
,
that
they
may
therby
be
Dominators
and
Kings
,
and
fetch
in
mony
by
Cart
lodes
to
Rome
:
such
force
and
vertue
haue
those
wordes
,
so
sure
a
staffe
vnto
them
is
the
rocke
of
S.
Peter
.
Sée
then
this
is
one
mean
most
ingeniously
inuented
,
to
containe
the
people
within
the
obedience
of
the
Romane
Councell
.
Cap.
27.
A
second
meane
that
they
haue
to
keep
men
in
their
seruice
still
.
BVt
iudging
that
to
be
a
sufficient
remedy
to
withhold
learned
men
,
who
by
reading
of
the
holie
scriptures
,
by
true
contemplation
of
thinges
created
by
the
handie
worke
of
God
,
and
by
the
great
harmony
of
both
these
,
ioyned
togither
,
should
be
brought
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Creator
,
and
to
the
true
seruice
conuenient
for
his
holie
name
,
and
so
fall
to
be
opinatiue
,
reiecting
the
Italian
Domination
,
and
by
such
meanes
shake
their
so
sure
gouernment
,
&
make
it
totter
a
litle
.
Against
whom
being
men
well
armed
with
sound
arguments
,
it
were
a
most
dangerous
thing
for
the
Italians
and
their
suppostes
to
deale
by
way
of
disputations
:
yet
sée
they
haue
defenses
&
ramparies
to
let
them
,
for
making
any
breach
in
their
Domination
.
First
to
make
them
hold
their
tongues
:
no
more
but
to
giue
them
some
fat
benefice
,
some
Abbey
or
Priory
,
and
to
schoole
them
a
litle
with
this
lesson
,
that
the
veritie
which
they
saie
,
they
know
,
is
but
poore
and
bare
god
wot
,
wearing
but
a
thrid
bare
coate
,
neuer
able
to
make
a
man
rich
:
(
as
it
was
apparant
indéed
in
him
who
was
the
Veritie
it self
,
hauing
no
place
to
hide
his
head
in
:
)
that
beside
it
had
the
world
,
all
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
for
enemy
.
On
the
other
side
,
he
that
wold
be
employed
for
Rome
,
she
had
to
command
all
ouer
the
world
,
and
had
the
bestowing
of
Bishoppricks
,
Abbies
,
Priories
,
and
Parsonages
,
to
aduance
and
make
happie
all
those
that
imbraced
their
part
.
Now
of
a
great
number
few
or
none
stand
out
with
them
,
but
are
ouercome
with
such
temptations
,
&
if
there
be
any
that
will
not
yéeld
to
them
,
we
sée
by
and
by
that
the
Bishops
and
their
Officials
haue
them
in
chace
,
and
do
their
vttermost
to
inflame
the
Magistrate
against
them
,
to
put
them
to
death
,
as
did
the
Priests
of
the
old
law
,
against
Helias
,
Ieremias
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Prophets
,
&
their
successors
,
against
Christ
.
But
if
the
Magistrates
chance
to
wincke
at
them
,
the
Councell
of
Rome
,
hath
caused
Ecclesiasticall
Counsellers
to
bee
admitted
into
all
Courtes
of
Parlament
to
aduise
,
stire
vp
and
inflame
all
Presidents
,
Proctors
of
the
King
,
and
all
other
councellours
to
make
open
warre
with
fire
and
sword
against
such
people
,
not
without
sore
charge
to
the
Iudges
,
to
looke
vnto
them
,
menacing
their
negligence
herein
with
double
punishment
.
By
reason
whereof
,
it
shal
be
heard
for
them
to
escape
their
handes
.
Whereby
appeareth
,
how
great
the
carnall
wisedome
of
this
nation
is
,
to
maintaine
and
hold
fast
their
reuenues
and
Domination
.

The
third
meane
whereby
they
fortifie
themselues

Forces

one
aide
that
might
stand
them
in
stéed
,
they
found
meanes
to
arme
themselues
with
the
greatest
Forces
the
Christen
men
may
yéeld
,
when
they
perceiued
that
by
such
fellowes
as
are
abouesaid
,
Princes
,
Cities
and
common
weales
might
be
puld
from
them
,
which
were
no
fish
for
Prouosts
,
Controllers
,
nor
Sergeants
mouthes
:
they
backed
themselues
better
with
the
most
strong
redoubtable
and
puissant
forces
of
all
Christendome
,
as
with
the
K.
of
Spaine
for
the
head
,
with
the
King
of
France
for
the
stomacke
,
and
the
Emperour
for
the
belly
,
which
are
the
principall
parts
of
Europe
.
So
that
if
a
man
open
his
mouth
to
speake
against
their
Domination
,
you
shall
sée
the
Catholike
straightway
,
thunder
downe
all
with
his
Inquisition
,
&
euerie
man
haue
a
fling
at
him
.
Is
there
any
that
will
set
vpon
them
by
main
strength
for
any
other
matter
?
Be
the
Lombards
,
Venetians
,
Neapolitans
,
or
whatsoeuer
they
be
,
they
will
but
whistle
at
Rome
,
and
by
and
by
ye
shal
sée
marching
to
their
succour
the
Armies
of
these
mightie
Princes
aboue
named
.
But
the
Romans
,
they
will
make
themselues
poore
when
they
should
paie
them
,
and
recompence
their
trauels
:
they
can
abide
nothing
worse
then
that
.
For
Childericke
the
King
of
France
,
for
sending
them
aide
,
lost
the
Crowne
of
France
.
And
as
for
satisfaction
for
any
other
aide
that
other
Kinges
of
France
haue
giuen
them
,
they
neuer
put
their
hand
to
their
treasures
yet
,
to
recompence
them
:
nor
neuer
adioyned
any
Duchy
or
kingdome
to
their
Empire
:
but
haue
alwaies
béen
pulling
from
them
.
But
in
recompence
of
all
their
labours
,
losses
and
expences
,
they
haue
giuen
this
word
(
THRISE
)
which
is
vsed
in
forming
a
superlatiue
,
to
the
King
of
France
:
although
hée
had
as
much
and
more
authoritie
to
take
it
to
himselfe
,
then
the
Romanes
to
giue
it
him
.
And
to
the
King
of
Spaine
they
haue
giuen
this
word
(
Catholike
)
which
he
might
haue
taken
himselfe
if
hée
would
haue
challenged
it
,
no
man
to
say
nay
.
These
names
haue
continued
from
father
to
sonne
,
as
if
they
came
by
inheritance
,
by
which
the
Italians
haue
plaied
and
wrought
vpon
,
as
well
the
one
as
the
other
,
as
though
the
bare
names
had
any
vertue
or
operation
in
them
,
to
transforme
the
persons
,
and
to
make
them
any
other
then
they
were
,
which
should
bee
a
most
manifest
abuse
.
But
when
that
a
man
hath
any
qualitie
of
great
vertue
or
vice
,
he
may
verie
fitly
haue
some
name
of
honour
or
dishonour
attributed
vnto
him
.
As
S.
Lewes
was
so
called
for
his
holines
of
life
.
Philip
le
Bel
,
for
his
excéeding
beautie
:
and
Philip
le
Hardi
,
for
his
hardines
&
valour
.
But
all
this
cannot
be
translated
to
their
heires
and
successors
,
because
they
are
but
qualities
of
speciall
persons
,
and
are
proper
to
them
onely
,
from
whom
they
cannot
passe
.
For
as
it
had
bin
a
most
absurd
thing
to
haue
termed
Commodus
an
Emperour
of
Rome
,
and
a
most
cruell
tyrant
,
a
Saint
and
a
Philosopher
,
because
Marcus
Aurelius
his
father
,
for
his
rare
vertues
,
sagesse
and
eloquence
was
so
named
:
so
also
is
there
none
apparent
reason
why
the
Councell
of
Rome
,
should
denominate
for
flatterie
,
indifferently
all
the
successors
of
this
crowne
,
Kinges
most
Christian
.
No
more
then
with
the
Epitheton
that
was
giuen
to
Charles
le
grand
,
(
1.
the
great
.
)
And
as
for
the
title
of
Catholike
,
it
was
falsly
attributed
to
the
King
of
Spaine
,
because
it
signifieth
as
much
as
vninersall
King
:
that
is
,
King
euer
all
.
Whereas
at
that
time
he
was
King
only
but
of
the
Spaines
;
for
as
yet
then
raigned
the
King
of
Portugall
:
and
beside
he
is
not
so
much
yet
neither
as
King
ouer
all
Christendome
.
Although
that
such
Epithets
haue
béene
verie
vnfit
,
&
falfly
attributed
indifferently
to
all
:
yet
we
sée
by
such
toyes
and
deuises
,
they
haue
with
a
wet
finger
drawen
more
Forces
to
their
succour
out
of
these
kingdomes
,
then
at
this
present
twentie
millions
out
of
any
other
Princes
purse
,
would
do
out
of
all
Germany
.
By
giuing
them
only
these
names
and
titles
,
they
make
them
march
when
they
list
,
vsing
them
like
the
great
Canary
Dogs
,
which
are
tied
fast
with
a
long
chaine
and
a
coller
.
As
for
the
Emperour
to
kéep
him
vnder
,
they
haue
bestowed
on
him
some
kingdome
or
Princedome
,
to
make
him
their
owne
creature
and
vassall
,
yet
vnder
the
name
of
their
Pope
,
to
set
him
forward
,
or
pull
him
backe
as
they
list
,
and
at
their
deuotion
.
And
all
this
to
the
end
,
that
if
any
went
about
to
shake
or
endomage
their
Domination
at
the
head
,
hée
should
straight
assaile
and
bee
shaken
off
by
the
Catholicke
King
,
if
he
came
against
the
breast
,
the
most
Christian
King
should
trownce
him
,
if
he
made
at
the
bellie
,
the
Emperour
should
teare
him
:
so
that
he
should
be
met
withall
what
way
so
euer
he
came
.
Turne
ouer
&
read
the
Histories
of
the
memorable
actes
and
déeds
of
all
nations
in
the
world
,
and
finde
none
that
euer
hath
so
iusteled
Kings
and
Emperours
by
a
voluntarie
Domination
,
to
make
them
march
,
without
any
pay
at
all
,
as
hath
done
the
Councell
of
Rome
.
I
speake
not
only
by
these
but
by
an
infinit
number
of
others
,
so
he
haue
bin
glad
to
obey
and
follow
them
at
all
times
,
whensoeuer
they
stood
in
néed
.

A
Demonstration
how
the
Councell
of
Rome
winneth
to
their
side
,
Princes
,
younger
brothers
,
and
maketh
them
their
voluntarie
slaues
.
BVt
the
sublimation
of
the
Italian
spirit
is
remarked
to
flie
farre
aboue
all
other
nations
of
the
world
,
herein
especially
,
that
perceiuing
a
few
yéeres
since
,
there
were
found
many
men
of
great
spirit
in
the
Councelles
of
these
Monarkes
,
who
discouering
their
drifts
,
began
to
counterchecke
them
a
litle
,
not
stirring
a
whit
at
the
first
sound
of
the
Trumpet
,
comming
from
Italy
,
as
they
were
wont
to
do
in
times
past
,
they
haue
made
a
cunning
prouiso
for
this
matter
,
drawing
into
their
confederacie
and
league
,
certaine
younger
brethren
of
the
best
houses
of
the
Princes
in
Christendome
,
who
being
not
surcharged
with
too
much
reuenues
,
nor
too
great
gouernments
,
to
imploy
themselues
,
runne
like
swift
footed
Greyhounds
at
the
first
call
,
that
is
made
for
them
.
To
make
them
march
with
more
then
humane
expedition
,
they
must
be
charmed
with
praises
up
to
the
heauens
,
far
higher
then
the
praises
of
many
of
those
which
the
Paynims
held
for
Gods
in
this
world
.
Comparing
them
with
the
most
worthy
and
valiant
warriours
which
euer
haue
béen
,
terming
them
the
verie
portraitures
of
Alexander
,
in
diligence
and
hautinesse
of
courage
:
verie
Images
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
in
subtilitie
and
wisedome
,
and
in
zeale
for
the
enlarging
and
glorie
of
the
Romane
Church
:
true
imitators
of
Constantine
the
great
,
resemblers
of
Charlemaine
,
and
as
great
warriours
as
euer
was
the
Romane
Fertorius
,
to
resist
and
stand
out
boldly
against
all
humane
powers
.
And
to
set
a
better
hue
on
these
so
high
commendations
,
if
there
be
to
be
found
any
externall
beautie
or
corporall
force
in
these
Princes
,
that
must
not
be
forgotten
in
no
wise
,
but
extolled
to
the
ninth
degrée
:
likewise
,
for
the
antiquitie
of
their
houses
,
the
great
Alliances
with
other
Princes
,
the
noble
and
famous
acts
of
all
their
predecessours
,
all
this
must
be
curiously
dilated
,
not
one
little
forgotten
.
And
besides
,
to
passe
them
vp
with
the
winde
of
such
vaine
praises
,
and
to
eleuate
their
courage
aboue
al
that
is
vnder
Luna
,
they
forget
not
to
abase
and
disgrace
as
much
as
they
can
,
the
spirit
,
courage
,
and
valour
of
these
thrée
great
ones
,
of
whome
I
spake
but
now
,
as
though
they
had
not
the
wit
to
enterprise
any
great
exploites
of
armes
:
as
though
they
had
no
magnanimitie
,
diligence
,
force
nor
wisedome
at
all
,
to
execute
such
matters
:
notwithstanding
the
place
and
dignitie
they
kéepe
,
and
the
great
meanes
they
haue
in
their
power
:
but
they
if
they
had
their
roome
,
it
were
inough
to
make
them
become
Monarkes
of
the
whole
world
.
The
verie
breath
of
these
so
high
commendations
,
doth
so
set
on
fire
all
the
parts
of
their
soule
and
bodie
,
that
it
serueth
them
for
winges
to
flie
when
they
go
about
any
affaires
for
the
Councell
of
Rome
;
who
for
their
part
,
to
the
ende
to
giue
them
féete
to
staie
and
stand
surely
vpon
,
must
not
forget
to
aduertise
them
,
that
if
they
haue
any
brethren
or
children
,
they
may
promote
them
to
the
dignitie
of
Cardinals
,
so
that
they
shal
be
sure
to
haue
as
much
Ecclesiasticall
reuenue
as
their
backe
will
beare
,
so
they
may
fill
their
houses
full
of
coine
,
which
had
but
in
meane
quantitie
before
.
Now
euerie
one
may
thinke
,
that
whilest
they
go
about
these
things
,
Coursers
of
Naples
,
Damasco
swordes
,
plumes
of
feathers
,
and
precious
stones
,
the
rarest
and
dearest
are
also
presented
them
,
as
those
only
who
are
worthie
to
possesse
them
.
But
aboue
all
,
when
they
vnderstand
that
all
that
shal
be
their
owne
that
they
can
conquest
,
which
is
temporall
,
and
that
the
Italians
passe
not
but
for
the
spirituall
,
then
they
are
set
on
fire
with
an
inextinguible
zeale
.
Then
appeares
there
such
a
sodein
chaunge
,
and
straunge
metamorphosis
in
these
Princes
,
that
a
man
would
thinke
that
some
new
soule
had
entered
into
their
bodie
,
and
dispossessed
and
chased
out
that
which
ruled
there
before
:
for
then
treading
vnder
foote
the
naturall
affection
,
that
they
bore
to
their
countrie
,
their
swéete
mother
,
who
hath
brought
them
vp
tenderly
,
and
nourished
them
more
delitiously
then
all
others
:
then
farewell
the
homage
and
loyaltie
belonging
to
those
whom
God
hath
set
in
place
for
their
superiours
,
and
the
straight
bond
of
amitie
towards
all
their
kindreds
and
auncient
friends
,
without
any
regard
of
those
,
who
haue
béen
their
planke
to
preferre
them
to
so
high
degrée
and
ranke
of
honour
which
they
possesse
,
such
younger
brethren
,
neglecting
the
oath
giuen
to
their
Prince
,
transported
with
a
most
vnquenchable
heate
,
and
zeale
,
without
all
gouernment
of
reason
,
cast
themselues
headlong
to
embrase
the
affaires
and
practises
of
the
Roman
Councel
,
with
so
violent
affection
,
that
all
their
thoughts
,
discourses
,
and
imaginations
,
are
occupied
in
nothing
els
,
but
still
how
to
continue
the
same
.
So
that
the
feruent
zeale
to
aduance
the
Roman
Domination
,
doth
consume
and
gnaw
them
night
and
day
:
falling
into
such
disquietnesse
for
the
furthering
therof
,
that
they
haue
not
so
much
as
the
patience
to
abide
any
good
aduertisements
.
But
like
as
they
were
transformed
into
more
naturall
Romanes
;
set
their
wits
to
deuise
a
thousande
things
for
their
good
and
conseruation
:
refusing
not
to
sustaine
all
perils
and
daungers
of
bodie
and
goods
,
all
watchings
&
trauels
for
their
sake
.
Making
no
doubt
of
conscience
to
set
kingdomes
and
prouinces
any
waies
on
fire
:
either
by
working
their
ruine
by
their
owne
armes
,
or
by
forraine
Forces
,
or
to
do
worse
,
to
stirre
vp
théeues
and
murtherers
,
who
by
treason
and
at
vnawares
,
do
shed
the
blood
of
those
,
who
kéepe
themselues
fast
locked
within
townes
,
causing
all
lawes
and
bonds
(
both
diuine
and
humane
)
of
amitie
and
consanguinitie
to
bée
violated
,
persuading
themselues
that
such
butchery
&
murther
,
may
any
way
aduance
the
Italians
:
or
els
that
such
cruelties
should
be
to
them
onely
sacrificers
of
swéete
sauour
,
and
seruices
most
agréeable
.
Sée
then
the
arrows
that
be
readie
drawne
,
made
by
this
most
ingenious
nation
,
to
the
ruine
and
confusion
of
those
,
who
dare
once
open
their
mouthes
to
speake
against
their
profits
or
Domination
.

Begging

sent
abroad

by
the
Romans
,
to
set
vpon
those
that
dare
open
their
mouthes
against

.
THe
Councell
of
Rome
hauing
long
time
found
that
many
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
and
Colledges
did
not
stir
at
the
first
word
,
that
they
hard
from
Rome
,
to
set
vpon
Princes
and
commonweales
,
although
they
were
their
own
creatures
double
bound
vnto
them
:
first
hauing
ben
aduanced
by
Kings
and
princes
by
their
leaue
,
&
next
,
for
feare
to
loose
the
fairest
fethers
that
they
weare
.
They
inuent
,
or
howsoeuer
giue
place
to
other
kinde
of
fellowes
,
which
they
receiue
into
the
number
of
Cleargy
men
,
that
will
make
no
such
delaie
as
the
other
:
I
meane
their
begging
Friars
,
a
most
laborious
kind
of
people
,
supporting
all
trauel
and
paine
,
and
doing
so
much
good
abroad
,
that
they
will
swell
out
incontinent
,
and
haue
at
a
baie
those
that
do
but
thinke
any
euill
against
the
kingdome
of
the
Romish
Constitutions
.
Let
them
hide
themselues
neuer
so
well
,
they
are
sure
to
be
drawne
out
of
their
dennes
by
this
kennell
,
who
can
open
and
discouer
so
well
,
that
in
the
twinkeling
of
an
eye
,
they
will
set
in
an
vprore
all
Christendome
,
exclaime
against
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
peoples
,
yea
,
against
Bishops
and
all
other
Cleargy
men
,
that
will
not
execute
their
resolutions
and
commandements
.
Greatnes
nor
highnes
cannot
amaze
these
fellowes
,
they
will
speake
their
pleasure
,
and
that
which
is
in
their
heades
,
what
soeuer
come
of
it
.
Neither
feare
they
that
their
Prebends
be
taken
from
them
,
or
that
any
other
fine
be
set
on
their
head
:
for
there
is
no
more
to
be
gotten
of
them
,
then
of
the
shauing
of
an
Eg-shell
.
Besides
,
they

Of
the
seruice
of
Iesuites
,
to
blinde
the
youth
withall
,
to
the
end
to
make
them
adore
the
Italian
inuentions
.
BVt
because
this
great
rabble
had
not
taken
vpon
them
the
instruction
of
youth
,
wherin
certaine
learned
Schoolemaisters
being
emploied
,
discouered
many
things
to
the
great
diminishing
of
the
Romane
authoritie
,
to
make
vp
this
breach
,
the
Italians
brought
in
Iesuites
of
farre
profounder
learning
then
the
begging
Friars
,
and
with
the
same
haue
peopled
the
most
famous
Vniuersities
of
Christendome
,
who
being
so
much
followed
by
studentes
,
take
no
hire
of
them
that
heare
them
,
contenting
themselues
only
with
the
gaine
of
their
pensioners
.
They
hold
opinion
,
that
the
Bishop
of
Rome
is
aboue
the
Consuls
,
by
this
meane
altogither
ouerthrowing
the
authoritie
thereof
.
As
for
their
Disciples
,
they
tie
them
so
fast
by
the
héeles
,
with
the
cords
of
the
Italian
superstitions
,
that
they
put
them
in
such
feare
that
they
tremble
againe
,
if
they
transgresse
the
least
of
them
neuer
so
litle
:
and
the
more
easily
to
strike
this
feare
into
their
hearts
,
they
robbe
the
tender
youth
of
all
iudgement
and
vse
of
reason
.
For
to
iudge
truly
of
anie
question
in
controuersie
,
we
must
diligently
heare
and
weigh
the
reasons
on
both
sides
,
all
affection
laide
apart
.
These
on
the
contrarie
,
hauing
brought
their
Disciples
to
belieue
in
the
Catholike
and
Romane
Church
,
they
conclude
thus
thereupon
,
that
they
stop
their
hearing
,
and
giue
none
eare
to
any
one
,
who
soeuer
dare
speake
against
the
Popes
authoritie
,
nor
against
the
ceremonies
which
he
hath
instituted
,
nor
dare
once
so
much
as
to
reade
any
booke
,
which
may
call
them
in
doubt
,
as
not
altogither
necessary
to
saluation
:
and
that
he
which
feareth
the
plague
,
ought
to
flie
from
such
places
&
persons
which
are
infected
:
so
they
before
all
thinges
must
take
héede
,
not
to
heare
any
,
nor
receiue
any
bookes
which
may
go
about
to
remoue
them
from
their
opinion
in
one
iote
.
These
are
their
propper
foundations
and
grounds
,
whereby
they
do
not
onely
depriue
their
Disciples
of
all
iudgement
,
but
also
of
the
vse
of
all
their
natural
sences
,
wherwith
God
hath
indued
man
to
make
choice
of
things
,
and
to
know
how
to
put
a
difference
betwéen
good
and
bad
:
by
this
meanes
,
they
make
them
not
onely
dull
spirited
;
but
altogither
as
brutish
beasts
in
heauenly
and
diuine
things
,
fighting
directly
against
the
instruction
of
S.
Paul
,
who
teacheth
vs
to
proue
all
things
,
praising
in
this
place
of
scripture
,
the
diligence
of
those
that
did
examine
the
Prophecies
,
to
know
if
Christ
were
the
true
Messias
.
And
whereas
the
Prophets
did
not
cease
to
exclaime
against
the
abuse
of
the
Sacrificators
and
Priests
of
the
olde
law
:
S.
Iohn
Baptist
in
like
maner
:
Christ
also
the
soueraigne
Prophet
,
the
Apostles
who
euer
cried
out
against
the
false
pastors
.
And
S.
Augustin
complaining
of
the
multitude
of
ceremonies
which
were
entred
into
the
Church
at
his
time
:
and
besides
we
haue
séene
heretofore
many
Bishops
,
Doctors
and
Pastors
do
the
same
in
contemning
the
greatest
part
of
them
.
These
on
the
other
side
,
hold
all
good
,
and
maintaine
them
,
not
onely
ouer
&
aboue
the
word
of
God
:
but
further
than
this
,
beside
the
word
of
God
.
By
reason
wherof
,
if
the
Catholikes
looke
not
about
them
,
to
bestir
themselues
otherwise
then
they
haue
done
since
the
entrance
&
creation
of
these
Iesuites
,
to
shake
off
the
yoke
of
the
Italian
Domination
,
it
will
soone
be
restablished
in
the
highest
degrées
of
soueraintie
that
euer
was
since
it
began
.
And
there
shal
be
neither
King
nor
Prince
be
he
neuer
so
strong
nor
mightie
,
but
the
Romans
will
make
him
tremble
at
one
winke
of
their
eye
:
and
will
put
them
in
as
bad
feare
as
the
poore
Israelites
were
at
the
publication
of
the
Law
,
when
they
shall
threaten
them
with
the
thundrings
&
lightnings
of
their
Romish
excommunications
,
to
discharge
all
their
subiects
of
the
oath
of
their
loyaltie
,
to
inuest
others
with
their
kingdomes
and
principalities
,
so
that
the
Italians
shall
triumph
ouer
them
,
as
they
did
ouer
the
Duke
of
Venice
,
trailing
him
with
a
cord
about
his
neck
,
for
his
disobedience
to
their
Romish
Bishop
.

A
brief
refutation
of
the
Iesuites
.
BVt
whosoeuer
would
not
make
himselfe
obstinat
against
his
owne
good
and
saluation
,
might
easily
helpe
himselfe
out
of
these
Iesuits
halters
,
setting
before
his
eyes
how
that
they
alledge
things
contrary
to
that
which
they
professe
&
cause
to
be
executed
indéed
.
For
this
is
the
summe
of
their
Doctrins
,
that
euery
one
most
firmly
abide
in
his
owne
Religion
,
without
hearing
any
thing
to
the
contrary
,
and
neuerthelesse
they
haue
enflamed
the
Spanyards
to
kill
thousands
and
Millions
of
the
new
world
,
because
they
would
not
change
there
Religion
,
to
embrace
another
.
And
as
it
is
proper
to
shifters
,
deceauers
,
and
those
that
haue
not
loyall
Marchandises
,
to
deale
in
secret
,
asmuch
as
they
can
,
and
closely
to
couer
there
action
,
to
sell
there
ware
in
darke
places
,
to
th
ende
to
kéepe
the
truth
of
the
matter
hidden
,
lest
their
abuse
should
bée
discouered
:
so
theise
which
feare
so
much
the
examination
of
their
Doctryne
conuince
themselues
,
that
it
is
not
sownde
,
nor
allowable
.
Whereas
that
man
that
séeketh
but
the
glorie
of
God
,
withont
any
respect
of
any
Domination
,
or
wordly
profit
,
will
take
singular
pleasure
,
séeing
his
Doctrine
examined
by
the
worde
of
God
,
and
with
the
workes
that
he
hath
created
,
and
likewise
be
delighted
to
maintayne
and
defend
it
against
whosoeuer
would
dispute
to
the
contrarie
.
For
all
this
,
this
would
neuer
the
Church
of
Rome
permit
,
her
pollocie
is
so
great
herein
,
albeit
Italy
is
replenished
with
a
great
number
of
verie
learned
men
and
great
Schollers
,
as
well
in
Philosophy
as
in
any
of
the
lawes
:
and
very
desirus
to
maintayne
any
dispute
against
heretikes
,
(
as
the
tearme
them
)
who
are
so
themselues
,
to
giue
them
their
right
title
and
definition
,
and
against
all
those
that
goe
about
to
diminish
or
speake
against
there
kingdome
and
gaines
,
for
that
the
repute
not
others
for
such
.
For
the
are
not
so
grosse
witted
as
the
Almons
,
who
dispute
about
the
Consubstantiation
and
Infinity
of
the
bodie
of
Christ
against
the
confession
of
the
Switzers
and
Frenchmen
,
without
hope
of
any
profit
or
Domination
to
bee
gotten
thereby
:
But
the
Italian
smelling
out
any
profit
or
gaine
in
that
which
is
propounded
,
he
will
agrée
to
all
,
and
repugne
onely
in
that
whereby
he
thinketh
to
receaue
any
dommage
.
Which
is
a
most
cleare
and
manifest
proof
that
there
is
nothing
,
but
worldly
wisedome
in
all
that
he
pretendeth
and
goeth
about
.

to
certaine
Petifogging
layers
,
who
will
not
consent
to
haue
there
causes
disputed

TO
make
this
more
apparent
,
we
must
note
that
when
the
councel

wil
neuer
accord
to
haue
there

defended
in
any

against

what

that

,
nor
so

as
the
Iesuistes
Schollers
of
whome
I
speake
euen
now

but
as
crafty
Layers
of

,
finding
there
low

like
to
goe

,
prolong
the

and
curry
fauour
with
the
Iudges
as
much
as
the
can

yet
séeing
the
plantifes
sue
them
hard
,
they
will
labour
tooth

nayle
to

there
cause
to

hoping
by
fauour
and

of
them
,
they
may
soner

And
if

But
out
of
what

set

Not

Thou

Nor

whereas
this

will
imprinte

all

:
whereby
appeareth
,
that
he
is
a
very
limme

instrument
of
this
olde

subtile
Dragon
,
who
made
Cayne
conceaue
in

this

Prophet
Esaye

to
persecute

of

,
He
sheweth
himselfe
seton
by
a
more
blooddy
spirit
,
then
euer
were
Marius
and
Silla
,
who
shed
so
much
of

owne
Citizens
boodes
:
but
rather
more
like
to

,
and
other
such
cruell
and
saluage
beastes
,
al
together
voyde
of
all
humanitie
towardes
there
owne
countrymen
.
His
shamelesse
impudencie
,
and
his
so
insatiable
thirst
after
blood
,
is
so
apparant
that
it
is
not
to
be
hid
:
for
he
representeth
himselfe
as
a
Standerbarer
of
Christs
catholike
church
,
who
ought
to
here
his
voyce
,
and
doe
after
his
commandements
:
who
pronounceth
in
the
fifth
of
S.
Mathewes
Gospell
that
The
mercifull
,
pittifull
,
and
peace
makers
are
blessed
,
and
that
we
must
forgiue
,
if
we
wil
be
forgiuen
.
And
the
Apostle
S.
Paule
writing
to
the
Romans
teacheth
vs
To
haue
peace
withall
men
,
without
taking
any
vengeance
,
which
belong
onely
to
God
:
And
that
if
our
enimie
hunger
we
shonld
giue
him
to
eate
,
and
if
he
thirst
we
should
giue
him
drinke
,
surmounting
his
malice
,
by
our
mildnes
and
mercy
.
And
last
of
all
S.
Iohn
in
his
first
Catholike
Epistle
,
saith
,
That
he
which
hateth
his
brother
is
in
Darkenes
,
and
cannot
tell
whether
hee
goeth

because
the
Darknes
hath

How
this
false
Catholike
Englishman
voide

transformeth

SOme
were
then
to
examine
this
bloodie

wherewith
he
would
infect
all
Christendome

with
the
rage
and
rancor
that
possesseth
his
furious

,
wherby
he
goeth
about
to

of

togither
by

to
destroy
one
another
,
like
fierce
Dragons

cruell

argueth
his
cowardly

most
dastard

,
for
these
are
things
that
are
neuer
in
a
man
that
hath
any
magnanimitie
or
greatnes
of
courage
in
him
:
Wherein
he
sheweth
that
he
is
the
verie
disciple
and
trumpet
of
the
maligne
spirit
the
diuell
,
that
in
shape
of
a
filthie
and
stinking
hée-Goat
,
vseth
the
like
spéeches
vnto
sorcerers
&
witches
,
who
hauing
forsaken
Iesus

,
go
vnto
his
sabboths
to
do

homage
,
where
he
giueth
them
none
other

,
but
to
put
in
practise
vengeance
,
murthers
,
and
cruelties
,
whose
footesteps
he
followeth
right
,
pretending
to
ouerthrow
in
man
all
the
cléere
light
of
reason
and
vnderstanding
,
&
vtterly
to
extinguish
that
which
maketh
him
foresée
in
his
actions
,
whether
they
tende
to
his
honour
,
profit
,
and
securitie
or
no
,
before
he
vndertake
them
,
to
abse
and
make
him
stoupe
to
blinde
beastlie
and
furious
passions
,
so
to
make
men
flie
one
at
another
like
mad
dogs
&
cruel
beasts
,
when
we
sée
any
aduantage
of
the
side
that
we
take
:
for
his
drift
is
,
to
make
the
Catholikes
roote
out
the
Hugonots
,
as
a
people
not
to
be
tollerated
in
religion
:
yet
there
is
no
people
vnder
heauen
that
agreeth
so
well
with
them
as
they
:
be
the
Iewes
,
Turkes
,
or
Tartarians
,
against
whom
thou
shouldest
rather
scum
of
the
froth
of
thy
furie
and
heate
to
combat
,
and
employ
the
floud
and
force
of
thine
eloquence
,
then
conspiring
the
total
ruine
of
Christians
,
against
those
who
receiue
and
allow
of
all
the
bookes
of
the
Bible
,
&
the
foure
first
Councels
,
with
whom
hauing
none
other
quarrell
but
for
humane
Constitutions
,
thou
oughtest
rather
to
take
part
.
And
furthermore
I
say
,
that
the
truest
and
best
Catholikes
and
Protestantes
,
are
for
the
most
part
the
surest
and
best
friends
that
any
Citie
or
common
wealth
hath
,
&
there
is
but
the
Cockle
which
groweth
among
this
good
wheate
,
and
other
dogs
and
hogs
,
who
smelling
out
any
commodious
profite
by
the
Italians
and
their
supposes
:
much
like
himselfe
,
who
for
rewarde
of
his
forged
crimes
and
lies
:
smelleth
out
some
Crosiers
staffe
,
miter
,
or
Abby
,
vnder
a
false
maske
and
shew
of
religion
,
passing
not
to
be
recognished
for
the
true
sonne
of
the
father
of
lies
,
and
auncient
slaunderer
the
diuell
,
when
maliciously
and
vntruly
he
bringeth
the
mightie
Princesse
Elizabeth
,
for
an
example
of
wonderfull
crueltie
against
Catholikes
,
to
make
our
French
Nation
conceiue
a
great
hatred
and
feare
of
our
King
:
wherein
I
thinke
,
that
his
father
the
diuel
would
haue
béen
ashamed
himselfe
to
haue
published
such
impudent
lies
,
for
as
much
as
this
gracious
Princesse
the
Quéene
of
England
,
and
our
King
of
France
,
whom
he
representeth
as
her
imitator
:
haue
neuer
béen
accused
of
any
blame
and
reproach
,
but
to
haue
béen
too
mercifull
and
pittifull
towards
such
pestiferous
mates
,
and
seditious
spirits
,
as
is
hée
himselfe
,
whom
I
should
haue
made
knowne
for
the
most
pernicious
and
damnable
enemy
of
all
Christendome
,
that
euer
was
on
any
side
whatsoeuer
,
as
him
that
hath
fastened
the
authour
of
his
hope
vpon
a
particular
and
temporall
commoditie
,
caring
nothing
at
all
to
be
cause
of
the
subuersion
of
the
common
weale
,
and
to
depriue
himselfe
of
life
euerlasting
.
But
because
I
am
preuented
by
others
that
haue
answered
the
booke
,
I
will
not
enter
further
to
confute
any
particularitie
thereof
.
I
thinke
now
by
a
most
manifest
and
briefe
description
,
I
haue
set
before
the
face
of
the
Readers
,
as
wel
the
meanes
as
instruments
,
by
the
which
the
Italians
know
how
brauely
to
conserue
and
maintaine
their
Domination
,
to
the
great
shame
and
dishonour
of
those
that
are
subiected
thereunto
as
slaues
:
wherfore
it
is
now
conuenient
to
manifest
and
propound
the
remedies
,
by
the
which
all
noble
and
gentle
spirites
,
louers
of
their
owne
libertie
,
may
easily
deliuer
themselues

The
first
remedy
,
by
ouerthrowing
the
foundation
stone
,
vpon
the
which
the
Romane
Domination
is
builded
.
AS
it
were
a
smal
matter
for
a
Phisition
to
be
able
brauely
to
discourse
of
the
causes
,
beginnings
,
augmentation
and
nature
of
any
disease
,
if
he
should
not
giue
remedies
to
cure
the
same
:
so
it
shal
be
requisite
to
set
downe
the
meane
whereby
men
might
as
well
in
times
past
,
as
also
hereafter
,
throw
away
this
Italian
yoke
,
&
kéep
their
mony
in
their
purses
,
without
enriching
strangers
with
it
:
for
this
matter
,
I
will
begin
at
the
foundation
stone
,
vpon
the
which
they
haue
built
,
augmented
and
eleuated
there
so
great
and
loftie
Dominatious
,
that
it
hath
no
boundes
here
on
the
face
of
the
earth
,
as
haue
the
kingdomes
and
empires
of
Emperours
and
Kings
:
but
being
eleuated
(
if
we
will
belieue
them
)
as
high
as
heauen
gates
,
shutteth
&
openeth
them
euen
as
they
do
the
doores
of
the
Consistorie
at
Rome
.
In
some
this
foundation
stone
is
,
that
Saint
Peter
had
his
Apostles
seate
at
Rome
,
and
there
was
martired
:
whereof
followeth
,
that
the
Romane
Bishop
is
his
successour
,
and
hath
vniuersall
charge
ouer
the
whole
world
.
For
the
first
I
deny
,
séeing
that
neither
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
nor
any
other
of
the
Epistles
of
S.
Paul
,
hath
made
mention
therof
:
&
that
he
himselfe
witnesseth
that
he
was
the
Apostle
of
the
Iewes
,
called
to
those
that
were
of
the
circumcision
.
For
the
second
,
that
he
was
martired
there
I
confesse
,
for
that
those
of
Rome
and
their
Emperours
,
to
make
a
triumph
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
of
his
doctrine
,
&
to
quench
their
insatiable
crueltie
against
Christians
,
had
caused
S.
Peter
to
be
transported
to
Rome
,
from
another
place
where
he
was
detained
first
prisoner
,
to
put
him
to
death
ignonimiously
,
and
make
him
a
publike
spectacle
to
the
world
.
But
for
hauing
by
this
crueltie
and
iniustice
,
depriued
the
world
of
so
famous
&
excellent
seruant
of
God
,
that
they
should
be
reputed
his
successours
,
there
is
no
reason
at
all
:
nay
contrarie
,
I
will
stand
to
it
,
they
ought
therfore
altogither
to
be
disinherited
:
for
was
there
euer
any
man
so
impudent
,
that
for
hauing
murthered
another
,
would
dare
to
challendge
his
succession
?
And
if
he
had
béen
borne
at
Rome
,
and
appointed
Apostle
to
the
same
place
,
which
he
was
not
,
neither
they
haue
made
themselues
vnworthie
of
all
successorie
,
right
and
title
.
For
this
were
a
prettie
matter
,
that
for
vsing
all
crueltie
,
and
committing
bloodie
murthers
against
the
seruants
of
God
,
men
should
get
domination
and
principalitie
,
as
well
in
earth
as
in
heauen
,
it
were
farre
wide
to
say
so
,
and
the
greatest
absurditie
in
the
world
,
that
men
might
imagine
.
Nay
contrarie
,
Christ
menaceth
great
punishment
for
the
like
matter
,
when
he
cried
out
,
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
thou
which
killest
the
Prophets
,
thereby
denouncing
her
ruine
and
ouerthrow
by
the
fire
of
Gods
vengeance
,
foretelling
her
destruction
to
come
,
and
the
miserable
estate
wherein
she
is
at
this
present
houre
.
If
then
this
were
sufficient
to
depriue
Rome
of
her
succession
,
yet
furthermore
,
were
she
worthie
to
be
depriued
for
her
rebellion
against
the
Gospell
,
and
the
doctrine
of
S.
Peter
,
wherein
she
hath
perseuered
since
the
death
&
passion
of
Christ
,
hauing
brought
foorth
the
most
detestable
monsters
for
Emperours
,
as
Tyberius
,
Nero
,
Calligula
,
Commodus
,
and
Heliogabalus
,
which
haue
euer
béen
remarked
to
liue
vnder
the
vaute
of
the
heauens
:
who
as
cruell
beasts
estranged
and
degenerat
from
all
Christian
blood
,
by
reason
of
the
enormitie
of
their
liues
,
could
not
suffer
any
such
cleare
light
to
shine
there
néere
them
,
being
also
set
on
by
their
sacrificing
Priests
,
Pagans
,
and
Idolaters
,
who
only
taught
publikely
at
Rome
,
soone
to
extinguish
the
same
.
But
if
there
were
any
good
Bishops
there
,
they
laie
close
,
and
did
not
openly
discouer
themselues
,
and
were
no
part
of
the
bodie
of
this
people
,
being
indéed
sent
thither
,
from
diuers
other
partes
:
personages
of
great
learning
and
eloquence
,
rather
to
make
residence
there
,
then
in
any
other
part
,
for
that
this
citie
was
stil
replenished
with
learned
men
,
cunning
Philosophers
,
and
Pagan
Oratours
:
against
whome
it
had
not
béen
for
Pastors
meanely
learned
to
haue
disputed
without
ouerthrow
and
conuiction
.
Yet
all
this
hath
nothing
eleuated
the
Italians
,
aboue
any
other
people
of
Christentie
,
for
hauing
Domination
ouer
them
,
but
rather
it
bringeth
lower
and
abaseth
them
,
as
a
testimonie
of
their
great
resistance
and
rebellion
to
the
truth
,
and
the
teachers
thereof
.

so
those
haue
best
deserued
it

who
being
pushed
forward
with
an
holie
zeale
of
Gods
glorie
,
and
of
the
saluation
of
men
,
hauing
abandoned
their
liues
,
kingdomes
,
and
treasures
,
to
make
passage
for
the
Gospel
throughout
the
whole
worlde

in
destroying
the
doctrines
of
Pagans
,
and
all
idolatry
which
had
raigned
before
,
more
then
two
thousand
yéeres
,
all
ouer
the

,
except
only
among
the
Iewes

Now
what
nation
hath
that
béen
,
of
so
hautie
and
magnanimous
courage
,
which
hath
done
God
so
signall
a
péece
of

.
Surely
it
was
England
,
which
hauing
brought
forth
that
great

and
thrise
sacred
Constantine
,
who
of
a
Pagan
that
hée
was
,
making
profession
of
the
Christian
faith
,
and
receiuing
Baptisme
,
straight
began
to
warre
vpon
Maxentius
the
Romane
Emperour
,
a
most
cruell
murtherer
,
and
a
great
persecutor
of
Christians
,
whome
he
vanquished
,
and
planted
the
true
Gospell
and
kingdome
of
Christ
,
not
onely
in
the
Ile
,
his
natiue
countrie
that
bred
him
;
but
also
at
Rome
,
the
receptacle
of
all
Idolatrie
,
and
from
thence
made
passage
for
it
vnto
Alexandria
,
the
capitall
Citie
of
all
Affrica
,
to
Constantinople
,
and
all
that
countrie
bordering
towards
Asia
,
enlarging
the
kingdome
of
the
sonne
of
God
,
farre
and
wide
(
which
séemed
at
that
time
to
be
banished
out
of
this
worlde
,
by
the
continuall
warres
of
the
Romans
)
destroying
and
ouerthrowing
wheresoeuer
he
went
,
that
of
Sathan
,
shewing
himselfe
to
be
the
Executour
of
that
which
Iesus
Christ
had
foretold
in
the
twelfth
of
S.
Iohn
,
saying
:
Now
is
the
iudgement
of
this
world
,
now
shall
the
Prince
of
this
world
be
cast
out
.
O
that
the
wonder
of
thy
holie
and
almost
diuine
enterprises
,
do
make
thée
go
farre
beyond
all
humane
creatures
?
for
the
light
that
thou
madest
to
shine
in
the
world
,
surmounteth
as
much
that
of
the
holie
Kings
of
the
old
Testament
,
as
doth
the
light
of
the
Sunne
,
the
cléernes
of
the
Moone
.
And
as
for
that
which
the
Apostles
and
other
faithfull
Pastors
which
went
before
thée
,
it
was
alwaies
diuined
,
and
entermingled
with
the
darknes
of
superstitious
Idolaters
,
which
had
full
course
among
the
Emperours
and
Kings
of
the
earth
:
but
thou
great
Instrument
of
the
Eternall
,
thou
hast
chaced
farre
out
of
thy
sight
,
all
the
sacrifices
&
seruices
that
men
did
dedicate
vnto
the
diuil
,
according
to
the
witnes
of
S.
Paul
,
who
saith
,
that
the
Gentiles
did
sacrifice
vnto
him
.
And
more
then
this
,
it
is
thou
great
Monarke
,
that
hast
so
firmely
planted
and
established
this
light
in
the
world
,
that
what
assaults
so
euer
haue
béen
made
to
extinguish
it
,
yet
could
it
neuer
altogither
be
put
out
and
defaced
.
If
then
one
so
great
and
diuine
a
benefite
had
procéeded
from
Rome
,
as
is
from
England
,
who
could
imagine
how
great
prerogatiues
and
honours
almost
diuine
,
they
would
challenge
from
other
people
,
whereas
neuertheles
the
Emperour
sprung
out
of
Italy
,
haue
euer
béen
the
most
signall
persecuters
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
of
his
Martirs
:
for
all
that
they
haue
cast
such
cloudes
ouer
the
eyes
&
iudgement
of
other
peoples
,
that
they
made
themselues
onely
déemed
worthie
to
haue
the
Sea
of
the
vniuersall
Bishop
:
and
by
meanes
of
this
prerogatiue
,
haue
made
all
the
Kings
&
Princes
of
the
earth
,
kisse
the
Pantofle
of
their
Prelate
and
Bishop
.
What
would
they
haue
done
,
I
pray
you
,
if
they
had
fought
as
much
for
the
aduancement
of
the
Gospell
,
as
they
haue
done
for
the
suppression
and
extinguishing
thereof
?
It
is
verie
likely
they
would
haue
exacted
honours
and
homages
,
more
then
diuine
of
those
which
should
liue
vnder
the
obeisance
of
their
Domination
.
For
this
nation
craueth
neuer
so
litle
subiect
to
worke
vpon
,
to
make
it selfe
to
be
wondred
at
,
and
to
bring
the
Septentrionall
&
Occidentall
peoples
vnder
their
coram
and
subiection
,
for
that
they
are
people
lesse
ingenious
,
and
nothing
to
compare
so
subtil
as
they
are
,
which
is
a
thing
altogither
straunge
and
wonderfull
.

An
example
of
the
Italians
subtill
dealing
with
the
Admirall
of
Castillon
.
FOr
manifest
proofe
hereof
,
I
shall
not
néede
to
séeke
out
but
one
onely
familiar
example
,
well
knowne
of
all
,
of
the
deceased
Admirall
of
Castillon
,
who
was
reputed
a
man
of
as
great
counsell
&
experience
,
as
was
any
in
France
:
But
the
Quéenmother
and
her
Councel
of
Italians
,
hauing
a
quarrell
at
him
aboue
all
other
,
made
it
well
knowne
,
that
the
best
French
pollicie
and
craft
,
could
hardly
auoyd
the
subtill
snares
and
embuscadoes
of
the
Italians
.
For
séeing
that
by
force
of
armes
,
they
could
neuer
preuaile
to
vanquish
or
ouerthrow
him
,
they
resolued
to
prouide
for
him
,
baites
of
peace
and
truce
:
by
the
first
conclusion
whereof
,
they
seised
into
their
owne
handes
,
all
the
Cities
,
Castles
,
and
all
the
munition
that
was
in
them
,
which
al
the
Forces
of
Italy
,
had
not
bin
able
to
take
in
twentie
yéeres
.
Perceiuing
this
,
they
deuise
to
set
againe
vpon
the
Prince
of
Condie
and
him
,
as
persons
destitute
of
refuge
,
to
retire
themselues
,
with
any
Forces
,
but
yet
the
Lord
De
la
Noue
,
by
his
great
wisedome
and
accustomed
valour
,
stood
in
some
good
steed
here
,
hauing
seised
againe
the
towne
of
Orleans
into
his
handes
:
they
perceiuing
the
Army
of
this
Prince
raunging
almost
in
the
hart
of
France
againe
,
straight
iudged
,
that
they
had
halfe
taken
them
napping
alreadie
by
this
hooke
,
and
that
they
might
hereafter
verie
well
ouertake
them
.
Hauing
cast
this
hooke
to
them
the
second
time
,
they
surprise
them
once
more
:
and
so
dispossesse
them
quite
by
this
bait
of
a
second
peace
,
of
all
their
strong
Forts
and
holdes
once
againe
.
Wherby
many
began
greatly
to
mistrust
them
:
but
to
take
away
all
suspition
,
they
practise
quickly
a
confirmation
of
their
former
peace
,
by
conclusion
of
a
marriage
,
by
this
vtterly
to
ruine
and
cut
the
Admirals
throat
.
He
trusting
to
it
,
was
taken
in
the
net
that
was
laide
for
him
.
So
that
this
may
well
shew
,
that
all
our
subtilitie
is
but
a
sluggish
slight
,
in
comparison
of
the
quicke
carriage
of
the
Italians
,
by
reason
that
their
clymate
is
more
Meridionall
,
and
the
region
of
France
more
Septentrionall
.
True
it
is
,
that
this
great
workeman
of
the
world
,
hathenriched
those
that
inhabite
the
more
Northren
countries
,
with
many
other
goodly
gifts
,
as
to
be
more
strong
,
more
faire
and
lustie
,
witnes
many
great
Philosophers
&
learned
men
,
and
this
might
serue
vs
for
instruction
,
that
séeing
we
are
endued
with
more
strength
,
and
are
the
greater
number
,
we
should
chace
them
out
of
France
,
and
not
suffer
them
to
vsurpe
any
Domination
ouer
vs
at
all
,
nor
to
accompany
any
of
our
Princes
or
great
Lordes
,
that
might
trouble
or
alter
our
state
.
This
is
a
verie
good
preseruatiue
to
saue
and
deliuer
our selues
from
their
wiles
and
subtill
slightes
.
Verie
true
it
is
,
that
it
is
a
great
shame
for
them
who
name
themselues
Christians
,
and
haue
béen
baptized
to
vse
so
much
treacherie
in
their
dealings
,
whereas
their
auncestours
who
were
but
Pagans
,
and
knew
not
God
,
did
kéepe
their
faith
inuiolable
to
all
,
to
bee
a
greater
credite
vnto
them
in
all
their
actions
whatsoeuer
.
Cap.

How
the
Bishop
of
Rome
being
created
vniuersall
,
other
nations
should
not
suffer
the
Italians
to
haue
him
only
to
themselues
.
LEt
vs
come
now
to
the
point
I
spake
of
,
how
that
I
did
not
purpose
to
blame
the
Popes
persons
,
nor
dispute
against
their
title
of
vniuersall
Bishop
,
referring
those
that
would
take
delight
in
such
disputation
to
the
Treatise
of
the
Church
,
made
by
the
L.
of
Plessis
Mormay
.
But
this
is
the
pointe
that
I
proue
,
that
séeing
the
Italians
hold
him
for
the
vniuersall
Bishop
of
Christendome
,
it
must
néedes
follow
by
the
nature
of
contraries
,
that
he
can
be
no
more
particularly
tied
to
Rome
,
but
that
he
is
also
as
well
Bishop
of
France
,
of
Germany
,
and
Spaine
,
who
cannot
be
conuersant
and
particularly
resident
in
all
these
places
at
once
.
Therefore
his
Sea
ought
no
more
to
be
at
Rome
,
then
in
other
places
;
but
he
should
wander
ouer
all
Christendom
,
as
did
the
Apostles
,
séeing
that
they
hold
that
S.
Peter
Apostle
of
the
Iewes
,
came
to
Rome
,
being
six
hundreth
leagues
distant
and
more
,
from
the
place
from
whence
he
came
.
So
that
if
the
Pope
be
resident
any
while
in
Italy
,
hée
ought
to
do
the
like
also
in
other
prouinces
&
countries
:
otherwise
he
should
depriue
them
of
the
right
which
vnto
them
apperteineth
.
Wherefore
they
should
neuer
abide
that
the
Romanes
onely
should
kéepe
to
themselues
the
Bishop
common
to
all
:
to
preuent
them
,
least
by
that
prerogatiue
they
should
rule
the
world
at
their
will
,
and
dispose
and
alter
all
things
at
their
pleasure
.
This
shall
verie
well
shew
,
that
whatsoeuer
we
conceiue
and
persuade
our selues
of
the
subtilitie
and
pollicie
that
is
in
vs
,
they
shall
stil
for
euer
farre
go
beyond
vs
.
Witnes
the
compositions
made
betwéene
King
Henry
the
second
,
&
those
that
inhabite
but
the
néerest
borders
of
Italy
,
who
retain
some
sparkes
and
beames
of
their
subtilitie
hidden
in
them
.
As
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
to
whome
this
King
with
the
assistance
of
those
,
whom
he
déemed
the
best
aduised
and
most
sage
parsonages
of
France
,
yéelded
vp
a
great
country
which
he
and
his
ancestours
had
conquered
with
infinite
charges
,
combats
,
&
victories
.
And
yet
without
any
blow
stroken
by
the
agréement
of
one
marriage
all
was
rendered
:
&
all
Lumbardie
likewise
by
the
same
pollicie
.
Must
not
then
hereafter
all
Forthren
peoples
awake
themselues
out
of
their
so
fluggish
dulnesse
,
&
not
suffer
themselues
to
be
ouercome
with
the
sugered
words
of
this
nation
,
although
they
be
enterlaced
with
the
swéetnes
of
religion
,
or
profit
of
the
common
weal
?
And
aboue
all
things
to
take
héed
how
they
deale
with
them
in
any
case
,
for
they
will
be
sure
to
haue
the
surest
ende
of
the
staffe
.
But
if
euerie
nation
had
practised
this
in
times
past
,
and
taken
resolution
of
that
which
concerneth
either
their
affaires
of
Estate
,
or
of
religion
,
neuer
making
the
Councell
of

priuie
thereunto
:
out
of
how
great
miseries
,
troubles
,
calamities
,
warres
,
quarrels
,
diuisions
,
and
hatreds
,
should
Christians
haue
saued
&
deliuered
themselues
?
But
at
the
least
,
we
shal
be
preserued
in
time
to
come
,
by
experience
of
these
oppressions
that
are
past
,
which
cannot
chuse
but
be
to
our
great
good
and
profit
.
Cap.

That
the
Councell
of
Italy
neuer
made
conscience
to
cut
off
the
authoritie
of
the
Pope
,
when
they
smelt
that
there
was
any
thing
for
them
to
be
gained
.
WHen
we
come
then
to
remember
,
how
they
make
the
people
belieue
that
the
Church
cannot
stand
without
an
vniuersall
Bishop
:
who
without
euer
looking
to
that
which
might
follow
thereupon
,
allowed
verie
well
of
all
that
:
They
incontinent
hauing
this
aduantage
,
made
him
proper
to
themselues
,
&
by
such
deuise
haue
vsurped
a
domination
ouer
all
the
world
:
&
prepared
a
way
to
fetch
great
summes
of
money
out
of
all
parts
of
Christendome
,
vnder
the
name
and
authoritie
of
this
their
Bishop
.
Whose
authoritie
notwithstanding
they
neuer
make
conscience
to
abridge
,
when
they
smell
any
profit
for
themselues
:
how
did
they
practise
in
the
great
Pardons
which
were
sent
abroad
in
the
time
of
Charles
the
eight
,
and
Lewes
the
twelfth
,
by
the
which
generall
remission
of
all
sinnes
was
giuen
,
and
Paradice
opened
to
all
those
,
that
would
go
in
pilgrimage
to
Rome
:
Wherein
I
say
,
that
they
did
limit
and
restraine
the
power
of
their
Bishop
:
for
being
vniuersal
,
as
they
maintain
,
so
also
is
his
power
extended
ouer
all
,
and
not
restrained
or
tied
within
Rome
.
Wherefore
did
they
this
then
?
but
for
a
fine
deuise
,
to
enrich
their
Citie
,
by
the
concourse
of
diuers
straunge
peoples
,
who
flocked
thither
from
all
partes
of
the
world
,
to
go
into
Paradice
,
preferring
by
this
meane
,
the
inuentions
of
men
,
before
the
commandements
and
decrées
of
God
,
and
the
way
that
he
sheweth
them
to
attaine
to
heauen
.
This
is
an
euident
token
,
that
this
nation
being
most
subtill
,
measureth
all
things
,
as
they
sée
they
may
turne
her
to
profite
,
and
augment
her
authoritie
.

That

in
case
hereupon
,
they
should
enter
into
choller
and
storme
at
this
,
they
might
be
answered
,
that
S.
Panl
did
admonish
the
Corinthes
to
follow
him
,
euen
as
he
imitated
Christ
.
And
in
good
faith
,
it
is
honour
inough
for
these
Romish
maisters
,
in
imitating
them
,
to
establish
the
like
order
&
gouernment
,
as
they
allow
best
of
among
themselues
:
for
truth
it
is
,
that
the
true
manner
of
honouring
and
worshipping
of
Saintes
,
consisteth
in
doing
our
vttermost
to
imitate
and
follow
their
footesteps
.
According
to
this
,
euen
as
they
wold
neuer
consent
to
be
depriued
of
their
Pope
,
without
whom
they
cannot
beare
sway
in
the
world
,
and
purloyne
money
from
other
nations
not
so
quick
spirited
as
they
:
so
in
like
maner
,
if
the
French
would
looke
well
into
their
affaires
,
it
were
necessarie
for
them
also
to
make
a
Pope
among
themselues
,
to
serue
their
own
turne
.
And
by
the
example
of
the
Romanes
,
they
should
endeuour
their
vttermost
,
to
raunge
vnder
their
iurisdiction
,
not
onely
a
whole
kingdome
,
but
also
other
nations
more
Septentrionall
,
who
are
lesse
ingenious
then
they
,
and
principally
this
might
be
effected
by
the
Prouensals
or
Gascons
,
being
a
people
more
meridionall
then
the
other
Frenchmen
.
As
for
the
English
,
although
by
reason
of
the
great
trafficke
they
haue
into
all
partes
by
sea
,
they
are
not
a
people
altogither
so
dull
spirited
and
grosse
,
yet
they
confesse
,
that
the
French
haue
subtilly
recouered
that
of
them
,
by
conclusions
of
peace
,
which
they
by
great
victories
had
conquered
from
them
before
.
So
that
it
is
verie
like
by
this
meane
,
that
if
in
imitating
the
Italians
,
there
were
a
Pope
constituted
but
in
France
onely
,
yet
he
should
haue
vnder
his
iurisdiction
,
England
,
Scotland
,
Ireland
,
Norway
,
Friseland
,
and
all
the
Netherland
.
By
this
shift
,
they
might
fetch
in
coyne
from
these
parts
,
after
the
example
of
the
Romanes
and
the
people
of
Italy
,
who
haue
had
a
hand
of
such
people
:
whereas
if
the
French
had
practised
such
conter-pollicies
,
whereas
the
Italians
contemne
them
at
this
day
,
as
grosse
and
barberous
:
they
would
haue
made
as
much
of
them
,
otherwise
as
a
nation
and
people
as
pollitike
,
craftie
,
and
subtill
as
themselues
might
bée
.
All
which
is
to
shewe
,
how
farre
they
excell
vs
in
inuention
and
subtiltie
of
spirit
.

Arguments
in
defence
of
a
Pope
,
if
there
were
any
in
France
against
him
of
Rome
.
BUt
if
any
obiect
,
that
the
Italians
would
neuer
endure
the
,
for
because
he
were
first
in
possession
of
one
only
Pope
:
I
agrée
well
to
that
,
so
they
were
the
stronger
:
but
when
we
sée
that
many
of
our
Kings
haue
passed
cleare
through
the
countrie
of
Italy
,
without
any
contradiction
,
and
gone
as
farre
as
Naples
,
and
that
those
that
at
any
time
went
about
to
withstand
them
,
were
by
and
by
ouerthrowne
,
wee
must
néedes
thinke
,
that
it
were
great
disaduantage
for
them
to
deale
that
way
,
but
if
on
the
other
side
,
they
would
go
to
dispute
and
combat
of
wordes
,
to
discide
whether
the
succession
of
S.
Peter
and
the
lieftenancy
of
Christ
be
tyed
to
Rome
,
or
no
:
we
shall
néede
but
to
sende
them
to
combat
in
this
dispute
with
the
Lutherians
,
who
maintaine
according
to
the
saying
of
Virgil
,
that
the
propertie
and
true
description
of
Rome
is
to
containe
seuen
mountaynes
,
thereby
geuing
vs
to
vnderstand
that
it
is
the
Citye
remarked
in
the
Apocalips
,
to
be
the
seate
of
Antichrist
:
Now
in
the
towne
of
Saint
Dennis
in
France
,
there
is
no
such
matter
,
therefore
such
qualitie
cannot
be
attributed
truely
to
the
Pope
as
the
haue
giuen
him
.
But
some
may
reply
,
the
the
people
would
neuer
beléeue
so
much
in
any
other
Pope
as
in
him
of
Rome
,
to
that
I
answere
:
that
if
they
had
made
one
of
as
subtill
a
preist
as
him
of
Bellouet
,
if
no
man
had
gone
about
to
descrye
his
knauery
(
as
some
did
)
he
might
haue
easily
preuailed
for
that
poynt
:
for
there
was
neuer
any
Pope
of
Rome
,
who
for
his
owne
persons
sake
,
nor
for
his
miracles
,
that
euer
was
so
followed
with
so
great
troupes
,
as
was
he
of
whome
I
now
speake
.
But
if
they
went
about
to
terrifie
the
French
Pope
,
by
excommunications
and
interdictions
,
so
that
he
would
but
practize
the
like
against
theirs
of
Rome
;
it
is
most
certayne
,
that
whosoeuer
would
but
looke
on
the
one
and
the
other
,
should
sée
the
Italians
farre
more
black
in
the
face
and
more
melancholike
,
and
the
French
farre
more
cherefull
and
Iocande
then
they
.
Sée
her
then
in
mine
aduise
are
medy
which
being
put
in
practise
of
vs
as
it
ought
,
will
ruinate
the
Domination
of
the
Italians
and
the
counsellof
Rome
,
in
the
personnes
of
there
Popes
,
which
likewise
would
quit
cut
of
the
way
whereby
the
transport
all
our
siluer
from
vs
,
As
for
those
who
would
not
nor
could
not
away
with
the
Pope
,
shall
by
that
meanes
kéepe
themselues
exemted
from
there
Domination
,
without
paying
them
any
mony
at
all
,
no
more
then
the
protestantes
doe
,
which
will
haue
nothing
at
all
to
doe
with
them
.
And
here
I
will
aduertise
the
Readers
of
a
fine
deuise
to
feare
the
Romans
,
and
to
make
there
Popes
tryple
crowne
shake
on
his
head
,
if
they
had
but
the
newes
carried
them
,
how
that
the
most
Reuerend
Cardinall
of
Vendome
were
elected
Pope
in
France
:
it
would
make
them
all
quake
for
feare
,
and
put
them
in
worser
case
then
if
an
Army
of
ministers
should
goe
thether
to
set
vpon
them
:
But
if
any
Frenchman
should
,
to
make
them
more
certayne
of
it
,
tell
them
againe
that
hée
were
wonderosly
affectionate
to
the
masse
and
to
the
ancient
ceremonies
,
they
would
thinke
him
more
asse
and
sot
then
sottise
it selfe
,
because
that
is
no
part
of
the
greife
that
tormenteth
them
,
but
the
name
of
their
Pope
onely
.
And
if
the
Spanyard
likewise
would
but
follow
this
example
,
the
lead
of
Rome
that
the
haue
sold
for
a
dearer
price
then
the
finest
golde
in
the
world
,
which
men
come
to
séeke
so
curiously
out
of
all
partes
,
shonld
tarie
with
them
at
Rome
,
to
help
them
to
make
there
gutters
of
there
houses
,
cestrenes
to
hold
there
water
,
or
Carracters
to
print
what
they
please
withall

How
the
Roman
Ecclesiastick
knaweth
the
people
of
his
owne
countrye
,
and
teacheth
those
of
other
nations
to
doe
the
like
to
their
countrymen
.
BUt
because
the
Italians
is
so
subtill
and
wary
,
that
hee
will
slip
none
occation
,
but
he
will
take
it
fast
by
the
haire
assone
as
it
is
present
,
and
will
neuer
let
go
his
hold
til
he
haue
made
thereof
all
the
commodityes
that
it
may
yéeld
:
sée
he
deleth
hardly
with
his
owne
countrymen
to
there
great
hinderance
and
losse
.
Now
they
detayne
a
good
peece
of
their
gayne
from
them
,
who
making
vp
part
of
the
body
of
the
commonwealth
,
hold
there
assemblies
a
parte
,
and
neuerthelesse
the
themselues
are
present
at
the
assembles
of
others
,
who
moreouer
can
of
themselues
publish
and
by
there
owne
reasons
confirme
that
which
they
will
haue
established
and
set
downe
▪
no
man
so
hardye
as
to
open
his
mouth
to
speake
to
the
contrarye
,
which
is
the
easiest
meane
to
obtayne
any
thing
whatsoeuer
a
man
would
haue
in
this
world
.
For
look
into
the
Soueraigne
courts
and
other
Iurisdictions
,
where
in
there
are
many
learned
and
eloquent
Lawyers
,
although
they
bee
suspected
to
pleade
the
weaker
causes
:
yet
so
it
is
,
that
if
they
haue
this
aduantage
to
propounde
onely
that
which
concerneth
the
iudgment
of
the
cause
,
being
no
aduerse
partie
or
aduocate
that
dare
speak
any
thing
to
the
contrarie
:
they
wil
be
sure
to
discourse
and
pleade
in
such
sorte
and
with
such
dexteritye
,
that
the
Iudge
and
the
Assistances
shal
be
so
rauished
&
caryed
way
by
there
reasons
that
they
shall
obtayne
victorie
of
the
cause
,
were
it
neuer
so
vniust
.
Now
the
Roman
Ecclesiasticke
hauing
won
this
aduantage
to
himselfe
to
the
great
preiudice
of
the
Nobilytie
and
the
Commons
,
and
hauing
beside
giuen
light
and
instrution
to
those
of
other
Countyes
to
doe
the
like
,
haue
robbed
all
other
Estates
of
there
goods
and
dignityes
;
tryumphing
and
swimming
in
riches
themselues
vp
to
the
chin
:
caring
not
a
straw
to
goe
against
there
profession
which
should
bee
by
contempt
of
the
world
to
afpire
to
heauen
.
For
proofe
hereof
,
there
was
a
president
who
was
verie
curious
to
count
al
the
reuenue
of
the
Kingdome
of
France
,
and
hauing
made
his
computation
,
he
found
that
the
some
did
amounte
to
twelue
thousand
Millyons
and
that
the
Ecclesiasticks
,
who
are
not
the
hundreth
parte
of
the
people
carried
away
seuen
parts
hereof
:
Whereas
in
the
old
testament
they
had
but
a
tenth
:
neuer
speaking
of
any
oblations
that
the
haue
at
Baptismes
,
churchings
,
confessions
,
and
the
great
ransomes
that
thy
extort
after
the
death
of
the
deceased
husbandes
of
poore
widowes
,
orphans
and
pupilles
,
vnder
the
coullour
and
pretense
of
their
long
prayers
:
all
which
ought
in
déede
to
be
employed
to
the
instrution
of
children
and
the
marriage
of
poore
parentles
maydens
:
besides
in
all
the
Churches
of
Cittyes
,
a
man
of
any
honour
cannot
scape
there
nets
,
but
he
must
leaue
behinde
him
some
halfe
Teston
,
a
matter
of
two
groates
if
he
will
not
be
in
disfauour
of
these
Ecclesiastickes
.
Touching
any
charges
,
watchings
and
trauels
that
they
should
be
at
,
to
teach
,
reprehend
and
comfort
the
people
as
S.
Paule
requireth
,
these
great
pillers
of
the
Church
,
the
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
and
Abbots
,
they
draw
back
and
will
not
come
neare
them
,
and
yet
it
neuer
ingendereth
any
remorseof
conscience
,
to
take
fiftie
thousand
crownes
of
yearely
reuenue
,
referring
the
exercise
of
their
charges
to
their
courts
,
who
after
their
example
discharge
themselues
by
their
Vicars
,
and
their
Vicars
,
they
hang
all
vpon
the
begging
Fryers
,
so
that
the
Nobillitie
and
the
people
be
well
serued
betwéene
them
all
by
this
shift
,
which
sheweth
verie
well
that
they
can
deuise
shifts
&

now
for
their
commoditie
in
this

.
Cap.

Verie
fit
meanes
to
hinder
the
Ecclesiastick
for
medling
with
that
which
concerneth
the
Magistrates
.
TOuching
the
Magistrates
to
whom
they
are
bound
to
giue
all
honour
,
and
yéeld
them
all
subiection
,
they
robbe
them
in
part
of
their
Iurisdiction
exempe
themselues
from
their
power
,
and
taking
themselues
the
prerogatiue
of
honour
,
that
they
owe
vnto
them
.
And
further
,
that
which
is
to
bee
noted
more
strange
,
in
stéede
of
supporting
the
poore
Priestes
who
haue
all
the
heauie
burthen
of
their
charges
vpon
there
backs
,
they
still
ouer
loade
them
with
so
many
seruises
,
and
cut
them
out
so
great
quantitie
of
matter
to
sing
,
that
those
of
Cities
,
in
lesse
than
ten
or
twelue
yeares
become
so
hoarse
,
that
they
are
not
able
to
serue
any
longer
,
but
must
be
cast
off
to
goe
séeke
where
they
can
,
by
reason
wherof
,
seing
them
at
some
sollemne
feast
,
surcharged
with
such
quantitie
of
seruices
,
whereas
they
sing
on
their
part
:
for
my
part
I
bewayle
their
miserable
condition
,
estéeming
it
worse
,
then
that
of
poore
slaues
and
captiues
in
the
Romane
Gally
,
and
cannot
chuse
but
argue
those
of
great
inhumanity
,
who
haue
ouercharged
them
with
so
heauie
burthens
:
not
only
against
all
good
reason
,
but
also
against
the
ordinance
of
the
sonne
of
God
,
and
the
briefe
forme
of
praier
that
he
hath
taught
vs
:
but
also
against
all
humane
order
,
obserued
in
tendering
of
petitions
vnto
Kinges
of
the
earth
,
which
are
abridged
with
as
fewe
and
short
wordes
as
may
bée
possible
.
Sée
wherefore
it
were
most
necessarie
to
stop
the
course
of
such
Italian
influences
,
not
to
suffer
our selues
to
be
handled
at
their
deuotion
,
and
not
to
depend
any
longer
of
them
,
as
heretofore
we
haue
done
:
but
to
finde
out
the
remedies
hereof
,
it
is
not
an
easie
matter
amongst
the
Northren
people
,
because
that
such
drugs
do
not
grow
amongst
them
,
no
more
then
do
the
Palme-trées
and
their
Dates
.
But
euen
as
one
countrie
bringeth
foorth
oftentimes
poyson
,
and
the
preseruatiue
far
the
same
,
euen
so
,
he
that
would
preserue
himselfe
from
their
domination
and
draught
of
mony
,
that
they
vse
to
draine
out
of
other
prouinces
,
shall
borrow
a
good
péece
of
wisedome
,
found
out
at
a
time
of
great
néede
by
the
common
people
of
Rome
,
to
restraine
the
course
of
the
domination
of
their
Senatours
,
who
had
them
before
at
aduantage
,
to
villanize
,
abase
,
and
reduce
them
into
bondage
and
slauerie
,
at
their
pleasure
.
The
common
people
perceiuing
that
they
had
their
counsell
apart
,
where
they
might
take
secret
deliberation
,
to
increase
their
authoritie
,
and
to
pull
downe
&
gnaw
the
people
,
which
should
be
hard
things
for
them
to
remedie
,
because
the
Senat
did
consist
of
verie
learned
men
,
great
Orators
,
and
full
of
maiestie
,
aduised
themselues
to
create
Tribunes
for
their
owne
defense
:
which
should
oppose
themselues
to
the
ordinances
of
the
Senate
,
in
case
they
did
any
thing
diminish
their
libertie
,
&
should
kéepe
the
Senators
short
,
that
they
should
not
tirannize
ouer
them
,
nor
draw
their
substance
from
them
,
as
before
time
was
their
common
practise
.
By
this
meane
the
people
was
no
more
exposted
in
pray
to
the
Senate
,
but
maintained
still
themselues
in
their
owne
liberties
:
for
euen
as
the
bodie
of
man
is
verie
well
at
ease
,
when
none
of
the
Elementall
qualities
doth
suffer
it selfe
to
be
ouercome
with
the
contrarie
:
so
that
common-wealth
euermore
flourisheth
,
when
none
of
her
partes
do
suffer
it selfe
to
be
in
subiection
to
the
other
.

That
it
is
verie
requisite
that
the
Magistrate
should
set
his
hand
to
the
reformation
of
Churches
,
because
that
will
neuer
be
done
by
meanes
of
any
Pastors
.
ACcording
to
this
,
there
is
no
more
effectuall
remedie
to
preuent
the
Ecclesiasticke
,
least
he
gnaw
the
rest
of
the
people
:
then
to
chuse
out
in
euerie
towne
some
learned
and
vertuous
man
,
which
is
not
of
the
same
qualitie
,
not
too
much
addicted
to
ceremonies
and
superstitions
,
who
must
haue
an
eye
to
their
counsels
,
constitutions
,
and
preachings
,
and
who
must
also
discouer
their
end
:
to
the
end
they
may
sée
whether
they
go
about
any
thing
to
the
preiudise
of
the
Nobles
,
of
the
Magistrates
,
or
of
the
people
:
and
if
they
do
,
to
withstand
them
therin
,
hauing
power
and
authoritie
to
assemble
the
people
,
to
aduertise
them
by
spéeches
and
Orations
in
their
Temples
,
how
that
they
go
about
to
deceiue
them
.
If
in
the
time
of
Constantine
the
Great
,
such
Protectors
had
béen
chosen
,
they
would
neuer
haue
permitted
the
Ecclesiasticks
vnder
shadow
of
Purgatorie
and
praiers
for
the
dead
,
to
haue
depriued
the
lawfull
heires
of
so
many
Counties
,
Lordships
,
Barronies
,
Féefarms
,
and
other
landes
,
whereof
they
haue
robbed
and
spoiled
them
,
nor
that
the
goods
of
Hospitals
giuen
to
the
poore
,
should
be
eaten
and
swallowed
downe
by
them
:
for
although
that
they
would
not
contradict
such
doctrine
,
yet
perceiuing
that
vnder
the
colour
thereof
,
they
pretended
to
make
trafficke
and
sale
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
to
sell
for
faire
readie
mony
,
life
euerlasting
:
they
would
haue
gainsaid
them
,
and
reproued
such
théeues
,
who
vnder
a
false
apparance
of
bringing
men
to
heuen
,
pretended
to
picke
their
purses
,
&
to
make
them
loose
that
which
they
had
on
earth
:
they
wold
haue
taken
order
at
the
least
,
that
the
poore
should
not
die
for
hunger
,
languishing
and
crying
,
séeing
the
Priors
of
Hospitals
to
deuour
their
good
,
singing
and
making
merry
.
Sée
then
this
is
a
good
remedie
whereby
wée
might
kéep
fasting
the
Italian
and
the
Ecclesiastick
,
and
make
them
content
themselues
with
their
owne
,
and
to
kéepe
within
their
owne
limits
.
For
to
hope
that
euer
they
will
reforme
themselues
,
they
neuer
did
it
yet
,
nor
neuer
will
.
For
if
you
looke
since
the
death
of
Iousa
to
Iesus
Christ
,
betwéene
which
there
is
more
then
a
thousand
yéeres
,
you
shall
finde
that
the
Ecclesiasticks
neuer
ceased
to
corrupt
the
true
seruice
of
God
.
By
reason
whereof
,
he
gaue
them
ouer
into
the
hands
of
their
enemies
.
And
how
to
restablish
them
,
he
raised
vp
Iudges
and
Magistrates
:
how
also
after
they
had
Kings
,
he
inspired
many
to
reforme
and
reduce
his
true
seruice
,
hauing
béen
abastardized
by
the
Ministers
and
ordinarie
Priests
of
his
Church
.
And
why
,
I
pray
you
,
were
Prophets
sent
?
But
to
accuse
and
conuict
the
ordinarie
Pastors
of
their
impietie
,
rebellion
,
and
disloyaltie
.
After
the
maner
of
which
Prophets
,
S.
Iohn
Baptist
termeth
them
a
generation
of
vipers
:
and
Iesus
Christ
calleth
them
,
théeues
and
robbers
.
And
S.
Paul
in
his
time
,
cried
out
against
their
abuses
.
And
in
the
time
of
Constantine
,
they
had
diuided
Christendom
into
more
then
twentie
seuerall
sects
,
all
which
this
holy
parsonage
cut
off
in
his
time
,
reducing
them
all
to
one
vniforme
confession
at
the
Nicene
Councell
.
By
whose
example
,
Kings
and
Magistrates
ought
to
set
to
their
handes
:
and
out
of
the
miserable
dissipation
wherein
we
liue
,
to
restablish
one
true
way
for
the
seruice
of
God
,
as
Moses
did
command
them
:
to
wit
,
that
they
should
meditate
in
his
law
day
&
night
,
to
kéepe
it
themselues
,
and
to
cause
others
to
obserue
it
also
.
And
not
to
expect
till
the
Pastors
reforme
it
:
whereof
a
great
number
séeke
but
to
enrich
themselues
,
and
to
sway
ouer
others
.
Cap.
46.
That
it
is
verie
needfull
to
withstand
the
enterprises
of
Churchmen
,
be
they
Priests
or
Ministers
,
and
to
chuse
protectors
for
the
conseruation
of
the
people
.
ANd
to
take
away
the
doubt
that
some
may
propose
,
to
wit
,
if
such
Tribunes
are
necessarie
among
those
who
haue
cast
off
the
Popes
yoke
and
haue
Ministers
.
It
is
certain
,
that
the
reason
is
all
one
:
for
to
be
persuaded
,
that
they
are
of
better
borne
,
and
of
more
gentle
nature
then
the
sacrificing
priests
,
issued
out
of
the
race
of
Abraham
,
there
is
none
apparance
.
But
to
go
no
further
then
to
the
Apostles
themselues
,
if
we
looke
but
to
the
marke
that
they
leuelled
at
before
the
Ascension
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
before
he
had
sent
downe
his
holie
spirit
vpon
them
,
we
shall
sée
that
they
were
enflamed
with
an
ardent
desire
to
be
promoted
,
to
rule
&
beare
sway
.
So
that
,
if
once
they
be
tollerated
to
set
downe
articles
&
constitutions
in
the
Chnrch
,
euery
one
thinking
himselfe
wisest
of
all
,
and
farre
to
go
beyond
his
predecessours
,
will
endeuour
to
inuent
and
bring
in
some
new
article
,
so
that
they
will
procéed
so
farre
at
the
last
,
that
the
Church
shall
finde
it selfe
replenished
with
humane
traditions
againe
,
in
stéed
of
the
Romish
Ecclesiasticall
constitutions
before
abolished
.
And
so
it
shall
fall
out
as
a
thing
most
naturall
and
common
to
all
Pastors
,
that
they
will
cause
their
owne
inuentions
to
be
obserued
more
strictly
,
then
the
commandements
of
God
,
and
the
preceptes
of
his
most
sacred
wore
,
as
well
by
depriuing
their
shéepe
of
the
Lords
Supper
at
their
pleasure
,
as
also
by
their
publike
exclamations
in
their
Sermons
.
So
that
also
the
violence
that
some
vse
in
séeking
out
curiouslie
,
those
which
had
transgressed
some
articles
of
their
discipline
,
hath
made
men
and
women
by
thousandes
to
reuolt
from
their
Churches
:
and
most
true
it
is
,
that
he
which
too
curiously
séeketh
out
the
doings
of
other
,
often
forgetteth
to
examine
his
owne
,
which
is
quite
contrarie
to
S.
Paules
instruction
,
who
treating
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
commaundeth
Euerie
one
to
trie
himselfe
.
Whereupon
the
leagued
Cautons
of
Swisserland
,
one
of
the
best
peoples
in
the
world
,
haue
abridged
their
Ministers
of
this
power
,
which
they
of
France
labour
to
establish
amongst
them
euerie
where
.
But
if
there
were
Protectors
of
the
Magistrates
,
Nobles
&
Commoners
,
might
not
they
verie
well
stop
the
course
and
progresse
of
these
matters
?
teaching
them
this
lesson
,
that
séeing
they
attribute
to
themselues
none
other
qualitie
or
condition
,
but
to
be
the
seruants
of
the
liuing
God
,
that
there
is
nothing
more
repugnant
to
their
profession
,
then
to
presume
to
make
lawes
in
the
church
,
which
is
the
kingdom
of
God
.
And
that
there
was
neuer
anie
seruant
to
King
nor
Prince
,
that
durst
attempt
to
vsurpe
anie
such
prerogatiue
,
how
well
soeuer
he
was
fauoured
of
the
king
.
And
who
was
euer
so
sawcie
a
seruant
,
that
being
left
to
serue
and
wait
vpon
the
spouse
of
his
Lord
,
forgat
himselfe
so
much
,
that
he
would
rule
ouer
her
by
his
own
lawes
and
ordinances
?
And
what
greater
blindnes
can
there
be
,
then
to
thinke
to
light
by
our
counsels
the
fountaine
of
all
light
and
wisedome
,
which
is
eternally
resident
in
God
?
Who
if
he
would
be
assisted
with
any
other
counsellers
in
the
gouernment
of
his
Church
:
hath
he
not
Angels
and
Archangels
by
legions
?
Hath
he
not
Noe
that
great
Heralt
of
iustice
,
Abraham
the
father
of
the
faithfull
,
Moses
,
Enoch
,
and
Helias
,
the
Prophets
and
Martyrs
,
and
more
then
fiue
hundreth
of
the
faithfull
beside
,
which
rose
from
the
dead
after
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
,
as
witnesseth
S.
Paul
.
All
which
in
knowledge
,
holines
,
and
experience
,
go
a
great
way
beyond
the
best
and
greatest
spirits
that
may
créepe
on
the
face
of
the
earth
,
in
the
prison
of
their
bodies
.
And
by
such
and
such
like
reason
,
to
kéepe
them
within
the
boundes
of
their
vocation
,
which
is
,
that
in
shewing
themselues
faithfull
Embassadours
and
messengers
of
God
,
they
may
in
nothing
goe
beyond
the
commission
that
they
haue
in
charge
.
Cap.

That
it
is
the
dutie
of
Pastours
to
plant
the
Faith
,
and
to
roote
out
vice
and
sinne
,
and
not
to
make
lawes
.
FOr
confirmation
hereof
,
and
to
proue
that
there
is
more
doctrine
and
instruction
in
one
onely
Epistle
of
S.
Peter
and
S.
Paul
,
nay
to
speake
of
lesse
,
in
one
onely
Chapter
,
the
fift
to
the
Galathians
,
then
the
most
perfect
and
holiest
men
in
the
world
could
euer
accomplish
or
fulfill
.
And
to
the
end
that
the
Pastors
should
endeuour
themselues
to
roote
out
the
fruits
of
the
flesh
,
and
to
plant
those
of
the
spirit
,
they
are
at
large
set
downe
.
First
to
wit
,
for
the
fruits
of
the
flesh
these
:
Adultery
,
fornication
,
filthines
,
dissolution
,
idolatrie
,
empoisonings
,
enmities
,
strifes
,
enuies
,
anger
,
quarrelling
,
seditions
,
sects
,
murthers
,
gluttony
,
drunkennes
,
&
such
like
.
Secondly
,
for
the
fruits
of
the
spirit
,
these
:
Charitie
,
Ioy
,
Peace
,
Patience
,
Clemencie
,
Bountie
,
Faith
,
Mercy
,
and
Temperancie
.
Sée
then
here
is
more
worke
cut
out
in
this
one
Chapter
,
then
they
and
their
disciples
will
euer
be
able
to
do
,
and
in
doing
this
,
they
shall
but
do
their
dutie
:
beside
consider
all
the
instruction
of
the
whole
Bible
,
and
you
shall
sée
a
bottomles
sea
of
doctrine
,
wisedome
,
and
good
lessons
to
teach
vs
to
liue
well
,
séeing
that
this
onely
Chapter
doth
teach
vs
more
then
any
man
in
the
world
hath
béen
able
to
performe
and
follow
truly
.
But
he
that
would
in
good
earnest
come
to
the
reformation
of
the
life
of
men
,
here
is
the
soueraine
meane
,
to
pull
vp
by
the
rootes
out
of
their
hearts
,
all
incredulitie
,
the
mother
of
all
vices
,
to
plant
therein
faith
,
the
spring
of
all
vertues
,
as
the
Lord
Du
Plessis
Mornay
,
hath
verie
well
aduised
in
his
booke
,
Of
the
veritie
of
Christian
Religion
:
wherein
he
hath
wrote
a
most
diuine
péece
of
worke
.
For
who
is
he
that
regarding
the
shortnes
and
vncertainty
of
this
life
,
who
firmly
beléeuing
that
there
is
an
euerlasting
ioy
and
felicitie
,
into
the
which
,
all
the
faithfull
and
vertuous
enter
:
and
that
there
are
likewise
eternall
paines
prouided
for
the
vniust
,
and
vicious
,
who
wold
venter
to
wallow
in
all
vice
,
to
be
depriued
of
so
great
a
benefite
.
This
is
the
marke
at
the
which
all
pastors
ought
to
le●●…ll
:
and
not
to
make
traditions
and
lawes
,
séeing
there
are
so
many
in
holie
scripture
,
that
in
examining
our
life
by
the
perfection
of
them
,
we
are
cléerly
conuicted
and
attainted
of
our
owne
imbecilitie
and
insufficiencie
to
fulfill
them
.
For
my
part
,
when
I
sée
an
assembly
of
pastors
congregated
to
make
lawes
,
to
bring
and
conduct
men
more
easily
to
life
euerlasting
,
then
the
Prophets
and
sonne
of
God
,
and
his
Apostles
did
(
although
they
are
taken
for
Angels
in
respect
of
the
rest
of
the
people
)
mée-thinkes
I
sée
as
an
absurd
a
thing
as
if
the
fiftéene
score
blinde
folkes
of
Paris
should
take
vppon
them
to
goe
mend
all
the
ill
highwaies
of
Christendome
,
to
make
them
fairer
and
straighter
then
they
are
:
as
cunninger
and
more
skilfull
to
do
it
,
then
those
that
haue
béen
emploied
about
it
heretofore
.
But
if
you
will
obiect
,
that
Ministers
haue
made
good
lawes
by
their
discipline
,
against
dansing
,
masking
,
and
dicing
.
I
yéeld
,
that
at
the
first
fight
,
it
hath
a
faire
shew
and
apparance
,
but
examining
it
néerer
,
you
shall
finde
that
they
take
away
therein
,
the
authoritie
of
the
Magistrate
,
and
vsurpe
that
which
appertaineth
properly
to
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
:
to
whom
only
it
belongeth
,
to
make
inholitions
vpon
such
things
,
to
cause
them
to
be
obserued
by
penalties
and
by
priuation
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
for
that
is
exprefly
prohibited
by
Gods
word
,
and
so
by
consequent
out
of
their
commission
.
Moreouer
,
the
Ecclestastickes
haue
euer
had
this
deuice
,
subtilly
to
intrude
themselues
to
the
making
of
lawes
,
&
to
haue
matters
of
small
importance
,
still
referred
to
them
,
thereby
to
haue
a
gap
to
matters
of
greater
consequence
,
as
the
Tribunes
may
make
ample
relation
hereof
,
and
proue
it
by
many
sundry
examples
.
Cap.
48.
That
the
controuersies
about
the
Lords
Supper
,
by
which
the
Pastors
trouble
the
whole
world
,
are
easily
to
bee
accorded
and
quieted
,
if
the
Magistrate
would
but
go
about
it
in
good
earnest
.
WHerefore
if
we
do
not
take
some
order
for
the
peace
and
tranquilitie
of
Christendome
,
by
some
such
meane
as
I
haue
set
downe
,
in
vaine
otherwise
shall
we
looke
for
any
firme
and
assured
concord
.
For
those
who
aboue
all
other
,
ought
to
séeke
for
reconciliation
betwéene
God
and
man
,
&
afterwards
,
betwéen
themselues
,
are
nothing
els
but
the
verie
instruments
of
trouble
&
sedition
,
kindling
the
fires
of
discord
euery
where
,
to
set
all
in
flame
and
conclusion
.
For
to
stay
till
of
their
owne
motions
there
fall
out
some
accord
betwéene
the
Councell
of
Rome
and
the
Lutherians
,
and
betwéene
them
againe
and
the
Caluinists
,
touching
our
Lords
Supper
,
that
will
neuer
be
no
more
then
betwéen
Caiphas
and
the
Apostles
of
Iesus
Christ
,
wherefore
if
there
be
none
other
to
step
in
amongst
them
,
moued
thereunto
by
pittying
the
ruine
of
other
Estates
,
which
I
haue
named
,
who
must
craue
aide
of
the
greatest
Kings
and
Christian
Magistrates
,
to
make
them
hold
their
tongues
,
they
will
trouble
heauen
&
earth
about
this
disputation
of
the
Supper
(
a
matter
neuertheles
verie
easie
to
be
accorded
betwéene
them
.
)
For
we
all
agrée
to
this
,
that
the
faithfull
taking
the
bread
&
the
wine
from
the
hand
of
their
Pastors
,
receiue
by
this
meane
the
verie
bodie
and
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
to
be
vnited
with
him
,
and
made
flesh
of
his
flesh
,
&
bone
of
his
bone
.
What
is
it
that
is
yet
in
controuersie
,
but
onely
the
maner
and
forme
how
that
commeth
to
passe
?
Now
the
Capernaits
,
desiring
to
comprehend
the
maner
of
this
eating
,
Iesus
answereth
them
,
that
,
The
words
that
I
speake
vnto
you
are
spirit
and
life
.
As
if
he
should
say
vnto
them
:
there
is
none
but
those
who
vnderstand
the
operation
of
the
diuine
spirit
,
and
how
he
giueth
life
vnto
all
creatures
,
who
can
comprehend
how
that
is
done
.
But
our
soule
which
is
detained
prisoner
in
this
bodie
,
she
cannot
so
much
as
conceiue
how
the
spirite
of
God
being
infinite
and
incomprehensible
,
hath
it
operation
in
all
that
is
in
the
world
:
nay
,
that
which
is
farre
lesse
,
we
cannot
imagine
how
the
Angels
of
heauen
,
and
the
spirituall
Damons
,
employ
their
Forces
to
execute
the
iudgements
of
God
,
nor
the
temptations
of
the
wicked
spirit
against
vs
:
nor
how
a
legion
of
diuels
may
be
in
one
onely
man
,
nor
after
what
maner
they
lodge
in
him
.
And
yet
thinges
farre
lesse
then
all
these
,
cannot
we
comprehend
,
as
the
essence
of
our
soule
:
and
whether
it
be
within
vs
or
about
vs
.
For
how
it
can
so
quickly
stirre
and
remoue
all
the
members
of
the
bodie
:
nor
also
by
what
force
the
Adamant
which
is
in
the
rocks
of
the
North
,
can
draw
vnto
it
yron
,
being
in
a
ship
more
then
ten
or
twentie
leagues
of
.
And
whereas
he
calleth
his
words
Life
:
it
is
to
giue
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
as
our
humane
vnderstanding
cannot
conceiue
,
how
God
inspireth
life
to
all
creatures
,
and
giueth
it
to
some
liuing
creatures
in
the
belly
of
their
dammes
,
giueth
it
to
an
infinit
number
of
litle
Animals
,
Locusts
,
and
little
Flies
,
and
no
man
can
comprehend
the
forme
and
maner
how
he
doth
it
,
nor
so
mnch
as
this
,
how
many
liuing
creatures
being
pend
in
and
depriued
of
all
externall
light
,
for
all
that
sée
most
cléerely
:
so
likewise
must
we
conclude
,
that
God
worketh
in
this
Sacrament
by
a
diuine
operation
,
and
altogither
incomprehensible
,
which
man
cannot
comprehend
,
nor
shall
not
comprehend
whilest
he
is
resident
in
this
Elementall
and
corruptible
bodie
.
It
should
suffice
vs
to
know
what
S.
Paul
teacheth
vs
:
that
,
there
is
in
vs
an
interior
and
an
exterior
man
.
So
that
in
this
Sacrament
,
euen
as
the
exterior
,
receiueth
the
signes
of
bread
and
wine
,
so
the
interior
receiueth
the
bodie
and
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
the
nourishment
of
euerlasting
life
,
without
making
any
déeper
search
of
the
maner
how
it
is
done
.
This
point
so
concluded
vpon
,
it
shal
be
méete
for
the
peace
and
tranquilitie
of
Christendome
,
that
the
Tribunes
should
humbly
entreat
Christian
Kings
and
Potentates
to
imploy
the
power
and
authoritie
that
God
hath
bestowed
vpon
them
,
to
bury
in
perpetuall
obliuion
,
all
these
meanes
deuised
by
the
Ecclesiastickes
,
be
it
of
Transubstantiation
,
Consubstantiation
,
Infinitie
of
Christes
bodie
,
and
many
other
quiddities
,
the
fountain
of
troubles
and
diuisions
in
Christendome
,
by
this
meane
to
preuent
the
Italians
,
least
for
things
wherin
they
haue
none
interest
,
they
ruine
also
other
Estates
of
this
Continent
.
And
if
any
debate
should
fall
out
betwéene
the
Tribunes
and
the
Ecclesiastickes
,
and
that
they
could
not
agrée
,
that
the
King
should
assemble
a
good
number
of
men
of
profound
knowledge
and
great
experience
,
and
especially
those
that
are
best
affectionate
to
the
benefit
and
quiet
of
their
countrie
,
and
without
any
interest
in
this
controuersie
.
The
which
should
not
be
moued
by
the
outragious
cries
,
and
violent
passions
of
mutinous
and
seditious
preachers
.
And
to
séeke
out
such
fellowes
as
Messieurs
Budee
,
de
l'Hospital
,
de
Pibrac
,
and
Monsieur
Groulard
,
who
is
at
this
present
first
President
of
Normandy
.
And
looke
what
the
King
shall
resolue
by
the
counsell
of
these
learned
men
▪
to
cause
thorowly
to
be
obserued
.
And
to
go
about
these
matters
so
secretly
,
that
the
Italians
heare
no
inkling
thereof
,
least
they
by
their
craftie
conueiances
,
hinder
not
the
happie
successe
of
this
busines
.
To
foresée
this
well
,
it
shall
néede
but
to
make
the
world
belieue
,
that
these
assemblies
were
made
for
some
other
purpose
,
and
that
some
new
occurrence
had
fallen
out
,
and
giuen
occasion
to
treat
of
religion
,
all
vnder
one
.
Cap.
49.
That
in
vaine
we
looke
for
deliuerance
out
of
the
miseries
of
France
by
any
Assemblies
of
Pastors
.
IF
we
doe
not
vse
these
or
the
like
remedies
,
our
hope
shal
bee
in
vayne
to
expect
for
any
goodly
effect
of
Synodes
or
Assembles
of
the
Ecclesiastickes
,
because
there
shal
be
alwayes
but
one
or
two
of
the
most
learnedst
and
eloquentest
:
albeit
the
be
all
of
one
nation
,
who
shall
dispose
and
carrie
away
all
things
at
there
lust
,
all
the
rest
seruing
but
to
say
Amen
,
and
to
subscribe
to
there
aduise
.
For
when
any
one
amongst
them
hath
got
aname
to
be
profoundly
learnd
&
to
bemore
subtil
indisputing
then
others
,
no
man
dare
gayne
say
him
,
the
tremble
al
vnder
his
authoritie
:
&
if
he
besome
what
styrring
&
ambitious
,
&
desirous
to
beare
sway
:
he
wil
make
them
receaue
what
Articles
&
lawes
he
list
,
for
that
hauing
studied
matter
ynough
to
defend
himselfe
with
Arguments
to
reach
vnto
his
purpose
,
that
others
shal
litile
think
of
,
and
perfaming
his
matters
with
a
litle
apparant
benefit
for
them
,
they
will
let
him
carry
them
away
so
,
and
subscribe
to
whatsoeuer
hee
would
haue
them
.
For
that
among
them
there
are
few
or
none
,
who
are
accaustomed
at
such
an
instant
readylie
to
contradict
and
resist
.
But
it
goeth
not
so
with
Maiestrates
the
greatest
number
whereof
being
brought
vp
and
exercized
to
plead
in
contradictorie
iudgement
,
will
not
suffer
themselues
so
easily
to
be
caried
away
,
but
can
tell
how
to
withstand
one
another
,
what
studie
soeuer
any
partye
hath
employed
and
come
neuer
so
well
prouided
.
Wherefore
it
is
a
dangerous
case
to
repose
any
confidence
in
the
decisions
of
Ecclesiasticall
Assemblies
,
which
in
the
olde
Testament
,
neuer
wrought
anie
other
effect
but
kindled
the
fire
of
persecutions
,
first
against
the
Prophets
and
afterwards
against
Christ
himselfe
,
his
Apostles
and
infinite
others
of
his
martirs
:
and
so
conclude
,
such
Assemblies
haue
neuer
bine
but
a
plancke
for
the
Italians
to
passe
to
establish
all
there
new
Constitutions
such
as
are
not
yet
altogether
receaued
in
all
parts
of
Christendome
thereby
to
sway
ouer
,
and
gnaw
to
the
bone
all
Christen
people
it
followeth
then
hereby
,
that
to
take
away
the
occasion
of
this
abuse
,
we
must
haue
recourse
to
Soueraigne
Princes
and
to
there
Maiestrates
,
when
it
comes
to
the
question
of
establishment
of
the
Christian
Church
,
for
so
God
did
himselfe
as
we
finde
in
the
olde
Testament
,
and
not
to
rune
to
Pastors
who
being
once
out
of
the
true
way
,
will
alwayes
goe
worse
and
worse
and
euer
come
into
it
againe
.
Cap.
50.
That
all
Christians
are
agreed
of
the
place
of
ioye
and
happines
whether
they
must
goe
,
but
disagree
concerning
the
wayes
that
must
leade
them
thither
.
BVt
because
the
Italian
is
so
quick
and
pliable
,
that
there
is
no
good
order
so
well
established
,
but
hee
can
alter
and
bring
to
confusion
,
either
by
séede
of
diuisions
or
by
corrupting
persons
by
flattery
,
giftes
and
remuneratorie
promises
as
well
Magestrates
as
other
protectors
of
the
people
,
employing
their
vnto
some
Ecclesiastickes
or
others
,
we
must
néedes
séeke
out
and
vse
some
surer
and
perpetuall
Remedy
against
them
,
And
because
as
I
haue
proued
that
there
Domination
and
great
somes
of
mony
they
dreine
out
of
other
countries
hath
no
foundation
but
the
bare
cloke
of
Religion
,
by
reason
wherof
to
preuent
lest
they
surprise
vs
,
we
must
be
very
carefull
and
diligent
to
choose
out
the
truth
,
for
that
the
derill
transformeth
himselfe
into
an
Angell
of
light
,
and
is
an
Ape
to
the
workes
of
God
,
to
rob
and
deceaue
vs
.
But
not
to
bee
deceaued
,
we
must
at
the
first
consider
and
examine
curiously
al
that
is
proffered
and
presented
to
vs
for
the
way
of
saluation
,
of
what
side
soeuer
it
bee
,
to
choose
the
best
,
otherwise
our
choise
shall
alwayes
be
doubtfull
,
hauing
no
knowledge
of
neither
of
the
wayes
which
we
might
take
.
For
in
matter
of
Relligion
all
haue
one
desire
and
shoot
at
one
and
the
same
marke
,
which
is
to
come
the
ioyes
of
heauen
and
in
this
they
all
agrée
,
but
they
disagrée
of
the
waies
and
the
forme
of
seruices
that
they
ought
to
follow
.
And
because
they
Counsell
of
Rome
,
teacheth
one
kinde
of
waie
and
maketh
manie
take
that
roowte
with
a
goodly
forwardnes
,
that
they
set
them
in
thitherward
,
and
an
externall
forme
of
seruice
,
which
with
great
delight
,
féedeth
humane
sences
very
much
,
practizing
all
kind
of
murthers
and
cruelties
,
on
those
that
séeke
to
climbe
to
heauen
any
other
waies
:
There
is
also
an
other
sort
of
men
,
who
by
liuely
reasons
and
great
persuasions
,
go
about
to
fetch
backe
from
them
as
many
as
they
can
,
to
lead
them
thither
by
other
paths
:
but
the
Romanes
,
to
preuaile
in
this
matter
,
say
,
that
that
way
which
they
teach
,
is
the
broad
and
wide
way
,
wherein
the
Fathers
haue
passed
,
the
which
is
also
more
common
to
a
great
number
of
people
.
The
others
they
say
,
that
this
great
way
whereof
they
estéeme
so
much
,
is
that
which
leadeth
to
perdition
,
and
many
there
be
that
enter
in
.
And
that
the
way
of
saluation
is
verie
narrow
and
straight
,
and
few
there
be
that
go
that
way
.
And
if
that
they
which
follow
the
great
and
large
way
,
finde
it
to
be
the
better
,
they
will
not
hinder
them
for
going
that
way
:
but
yet
requisite
at
their
handes
,
that
they
will
suffer
them
peaceably
to
go
by
their
straight
and
narrow
way
,
which
they
take
to
be
the
surer
passage
.
Cap.
51.
That
men
being
contrary
in
opinions
,
concerning
the
way
of
their
saluation
,
they
must
receiue
instruction
of
the
Ecclesiasticall
bodies
.
NOw
in
this
conflict
,
if
we
looke
onely
but
vnto
men
,
and
to
that
which
is
on
earth
,
we
shall
find
our selues
much
troubled
,
and
thinking
to
chuse
the
best
way
,
we
shall
take
the
worst
,
and
neuer
reach
thither
whither
we
minde
to
go
.
And
if
in
this
iudgement
we
depend
vpon
Ecclesiastical
Pastors
,
one
shal
allow
one
way
,
&
others
shal
teach
another
,
grounding
themselues
diuersly
on
places
of
the
scriptures
,
and
the
Doctours
of
the
Church
.
In
such
diuersitie
,
what
should
it
then
be
néedful
to
do
?
we
must
lift
vp
our
eies
,
cogitations
&
thoughts
vpon
on
high
,
to
other
Maisters
&
Preachers
,
who
teach
vs
not
by
the
eares
as
mortall
men
do
:
but
by
the
eyes
of
a
visible
,
certaine
&
immutable
language
:
and
aske
neither
gold
nor
siluer
,
nor
domination
ouer
vs
for
their
paines
:
but
fréely
offer
vs
their
instruction
,
with
great
bountifulnes
and
blessings
towards
vs
,
if
we
take
it
thankfully
,
and
we
neuer
néede
to
make
any
long
and
tedious
pilgrimages
to
finde
them
out
.
But
it
sufficeth
to
but
go
forth
of
our
habytacles
,
builded
by
the
workemanship
of
men
,
to
enter
into
the
great
Pallace
and
Temple
of
the
liuing
God
,
made
with
his
owne
hand
,
in
the
midst
whereof
,
he
hath
placed
vs
:
to
know
and
admire
the
wonderfull
excellencie
of
his
workes
,
and
to
yéeld
him
the
glorie
and
honour
that
he
deserueth
.
In
doing
this
,
to
make
our selues
worthie
beholders
of
the
same
,
when
we
shall
comprehend
with
all
admiration
the
omnipotencie
,
wisedome
and
bountie
of
their
framer
,
who
shineth
in
the
same
most
gloriously
:
and
although
that
vppon
the
earth
and
in
the
waters
of
the
sea
,
his
sagesse
,
vertue
,
power
and
bountie
,
is
most
amply
proued
vnto
vs
:
yet
would
hée
giue
vs
more
ample
testimonies
in
the
concauitie
and
extendue
of
the
heauens
,
to
draw
vs
néerer
vnto
him
,
hauing
set
there
two
great
lightes
,
the
one
lower
,
the
other
higher
,
to
the
ende
that
by
them
as
by
the
Ladder
of
Iacob
,
we
should
go
to
finde
him
out
in
his
heauenly
Tabernacle
,
to
do
him
homage
,
and
to
yéeld
him
all
the
loyaltie
,
wherein
we
are
bound
vnto
him
,
as
holding
our
life
&
al
our
goods
besides
of
him
,
putting
our selues
still
vnder
his
protection
.
And
therefore
to
carry
all
reuerence
and
due
obedience
towardes
his
lawes
and
commandements
,
hauing
our
recourse
vnto
him
when
we
are
oppressed
,
or
that
we
fall
into
any
necessitie
or
sicknes
,
giuing
him
thankes
so
oft
as
euer
he
bestoweth
any
benefits
vpon
vs
,
in
celebrating
the
praises
that
the
greatnes
of
his
workes
deserue
.
By
the
consideration
whereof
,
we
shall
perceiue
our
owne
infirmitie
,
to
learne
thereby
to
humble
our selues
before
his
diuine
Maiestie
,
and
still
to
haue
in
admiration
the
superexcellencie
and
depth
of
his
wonderous
workes
.
Cap.

That
the
lights
of
heauen
do
draw
vs
to
seeke
God
in
heauen
,
and
do
witnesse
,
that
their
Creator
is
infinite
and
incomprehensible
.
ALthough
that
the
lightnings
,
thunders
,
cloudes
,
raine
,
snow
and
haile
,
which
are
engendred
in
the
middle
region
of
the
aire
,
yéeld
such
ample
testimonies
of
the
power
,
bountie
,
and
prouidence
of
God
:
yet
mounting
a
litle
higher
,
to
the
torches
of
heauen
,
whereof
the
néerest
vnto
vs
is
the
Moone
,
kéeping
continually
the
course
that
God
hath
assigned
her
,
to
giue
light
in
the
night
,
and
to
moysten
all
bodies
:
and
from
her
let
vs
mount
higher
by
degrée
and
degrée
,
to
euerie
Planet
,
till
we
come
to
Saturne
,
eleuated
highest
of
all
,
and
from
him
to
the
starry
firmament
,
and
we
shall
sée
a
number
of
those
that
are
farre
bigger
:
for
we
cannot
contemplate
the
firmament
with
his
blazing
torches
,
infinite
almost
in
number
,
may
wée
cannot
behold
at
one
time
the
one
halfe
,
but
we
shall
be
rauished
to
admire
the
force
and
greatnes
of
the
maker
,
who
hath
framed
a
péece
of
worke
so
excellent
,
aboue
al
other
wondrous
things
?
Now
we
haue
béen
ledde
so
high
with
our
bodely
eyes
which
can
go
no
higher
,
we
must
haue
recourse
to
the
eyes
of
our
vnderstanding
,
the
which
being
lightned
and
conducted
by
the
brightnes
and
light
of
Gods
word
,
shal
make
vs
mount
yet
higher
into
two
other
heauens
,
to
come
where
S.
Paul
by
a
traunce
and
rauishment
of
the
diuine
spirit
,
saw
Iesus
Christ
the
sonne
of
Iustice
,
and
many
other
vnspeakable
things
in
the
glorie
of
God
,
hauing
full
confidence
and
beliefe
,
that
in
his
essence
being
diuine
,
infinite
,
omnipotent
,
glorious
,
&
quickning
all
things
,
according
as
Dauid
witnesseth
:
comprehendeth
in
him
all
things
,
without
being
comprehended
of
any
,
and
that
in
his
perfect
light
and
glorie
,
all
Angels
and
blessed
spirits
are
lightned
and
liue
.
But
because
that
his
infinitie
,
maiestie
,
glorie
,
and
brighnes
,
cannot
be
beholded
of
vs
,
for
that
it
would
rauish
all
our
sences
,
and
our
sight
is
not
able
to
endure
so
pure
and
bright
a
light
:
whereof
Eliseus
&
Isaias
being
great
Prophets
,
hauing
beheld
but
one
onely
beame
,
haue
béen
throwne
downe
to
the
ground
,
and
not
able
to
stand
to
behold
it
any
longer
.
But
I
must
returne
from
this
bottomlesse
sea
of
glorious
brightnes
,
and
come
againe
to
the
torches
of
heauen
,
which
hée
hath
set
in
his
great
Pallaice
,
wherein
he
hath
placed
vs
créeping
vpon
the
earth
,
to
receiue
instruction
at
their
handes
:
and
for
breuities
sake
,
I
will
go
no
further
then
the
cleare
and
pure
Sunne
,
as
the
most
perfect
&
accomplished
image
of
his
Creator
and
maker
,
which
representeth
best
vnto
men
,
the
wonderfull
profoundnes
of
his
great
vertues
.
Cap.
53.
Of
the
Sunne
,
the
very
portraiture
of
his
Creator
,
&
what
are
his
workes
and
operations
.
ANd
first
I
say
,
that
euen
as
men
cannot
comprehend
the
quanty
of
his
essence
,
being
a
thousand
times
greater
then
it
appeareth
to
our
eyes
,
as
by
demonstrations
all
Astronomers
proue
,
nor
likewise
the
qualitie
thereof
,
nor
the
manner
how
it
casteth
his
heat
and
light
ouer
the
whole
world
.
So
also
can
we
conceiue
neither
by
our
vnderstanding
nor
exteriour
secnes
,
the
greatnes
or
qualitie
of
the
diuine
essence
;
nor
how
it
hath
produced
it
operations
in
the
creation
of
the
world
,
in
the
conseruation
of
the
same
,
nor
the
manner
how
it
worketh
to
create
in
the
faithfull
the
new
man
,
which
fighteth
against
the
flesh
.
Likewise
as
this
great
celestiall
light
is
in
perpetuall
operation
and
mouing
,
to
runne
his
great
race
about
the
whole
world
,
alwaies
doing
good
,
and
bringing
infinit
commodities
to
other
creatures
:
so
God
is
alwaies
watching
and
in
action
for
the
benefit
and
preseruation
of
his
creatures
.
Moreouer
,
as
when
a
thicke
cloude
hath
depriued
our
sight
of
his
beames
for
a
moneth
togither
or
more
,
and
that
this
let
being
taken
from
vs
,
we
begin
to
sée
his
beames
againe
,
which
bring
a
certaine
ioy
or
gladnesse
vnto
vs
,
and
driue
the
cold
far
from
vs
:
so
the
faithfull
neuer
séeke
to
behold
God
in
his
works
and
vertues
,
but
that
they
receiue
great
pleasure
and
delectation
.
And
besides
,
as
when
this
diuine
image
retireth
back
from
vs
into
Capricorne
,
the
Caldes
comming
from
the
North-parts
,
and
from
the
frozen
sea
comming
to
afflict
all
liuing
creatures
,
spoyling
our
mother
the
earth
of
all
her
trimme
and
good
ornaments
,
and
making
her
naked
and
vgly
to
behold
:
so
when
God
angry
at
our
sinnes
,
taketh
his
holie
spirit
from
vs
,
the
prince
of
this
world
,
of
the
aire
,
the
God
of
this
age
,
the
ruler
of
darkenes
,
which
is
,
the
diuel
commeth
to
assaile
,
and
enuiron
vs
,
to
tempt
vs
and
bid
vs
battell
,
and
to
annoy
vs
many
other
waies
.
But
as
this
great
celestiall
light
goeth
not
from
vs
to
forsake
vs
:
but
to
distribute
his
light
to
the
people
which
liue
vnder
the
North
Pole
,
and
that
by
his
long
absence
,
wée
know
better
the
benefites
that
wée
receiue
by
his
presence
:
so
God
sometime
holdeth
his
face
from
vs
,
to
the
end
that
desiring
him
we
should
séeke
for
him
,
&
shewing
vs
his
countenance
againe
,
we
should
taste
better
what
a
benefit
it
is
to
enioy
alwaies
his
presence
.
For
as
this
blazing
torch
comming
towardes
,
being
leaped
backward
to
approach
vnto
Cancer
,
beginneth
to
renue
the
face
of
the
earth
,
and
to
beautifie
her
with
gréennesse
,
and
with
an
infinit
number
of
hearbes
and
floures
of
diuers
colours
,
giuing
life
to
many
hundreth
thousand
millions
of
little
Annimals
,
to
serue
for
foode
to
birdes
and
fishes
,
to
féede
their
young
withall
,
who
by
an
harmonious
melodie
,
full
of
all
ioy
and
gladnes
,
celebrate
the
bountie
of
their
soueraigne
the
Sun
,
which
they
receiue
by
such
instruments
as
it
pleaseth
him
to
vse
to
heate
againe
that
part
of
the
earth
,
from
whence
he
had
absented
himselfe
so
farre
,
wherein
he
magnifieth
the
omnipotencie
,
bountie
and
wisedome
of
his
maker
,
which
hath
attributed
to
him
so
many
vertues
,
to
the
end
that
we
should
wonder
at
him
in
his
so
beautifull
and
perfect
workemanship
:
so
also
he
pulleth
downe
our
presumption
,
for
that
we
cannot
shew
any
such
like
péeces
of
workemanship
,
nay
,
we
cannot
so
much
as
conceiue
by
our
understanding
,
how
he
giueth
life
to
so
many
liuing
things
,
and
how
one
onely
floure
is
cloathed
with
such
diuersitie
of
colours
.
If
it
be
so
,
then
the
greatest
and
quickest
vnderstandings
are
surmounted
by
the
operations
of
one
of
the
creatures
of
the
Almightie
:
how
shall
wée
comprehend
those
of
the
diuinitie
,
whereas
it
worketh
in
vs
of
it selfe
,
as
in
Baptisme
,
the
water
of
regeneration
,
or
in
the
Lordes
Supper
,
in
the
eating
of
the
bodie
of
Iesus
Christ
,
or
in
the
vnitie
of
the
thrée
persons
in
one
onely
diuine
essence
?
Wherby
appeareth
that
this
celestiall
bodie
is
to
vs
of
it selfe
a
most
excellent
Preacher
,
to
make
vs
leaue
of
the
vaine
disputes
of
the
maner
hwo
God
worketh
in
the
sacraments
,
to
content
our
selus
simply
with
the
ordinance
that
he
hath
giuen
vs
in
instituting
them
,
and
neuer
to
go
further
for
the
matter
.
Cap.
54.
That
this
light
reproueth
those
who
detaine
men
in
worshipping
images
,
and
the
workes
of
their
owne
handes
,
to
seeke
God
by
them
.
THis
same
Preacher
also
reproueth
the
spirit
of
me
,
of
a
most
brutish
errour
,
when
men
being
drawne
by
him
to
the
knowledge
of
the
most
high
God
,
by
an
eleuation
of
their
spirits
towards
the
highest
heauens
,
they
turne
their
backe
to
him
,
séeking
him
here
in
earth
,
in
buildings
made
by
the
handy
worke
of
men
,
forgetting
the
lesson
of
S.
Steuen
,
the
first
Martyr
,
which
was
:
that
God
did
not
inhabite
in
Temples
made
with
the
handes
of
men
.
Which
the
Sunne
can
likewise
proue
vnto
vs
by
an
argument
á
Minore
ad
Maius
.
Thus
,
if
it
be
so
that
all
the
forces
of
men
are
not
able
to
build
an
house
big
inough
to
enclose
and
containe
me
:
how
is
it
then
that
they
are
so
foolish
and
presumptuous
to
thinke
to
lodge
him
that
is
infinite
,
and
hath
his
dwelling
in
the
inaccessible
light
,
of
the
which
I
am
but
a
sparke
?
how
dare
they
thinke
that
he
may
be
contained
nor
comprised
in
houses
made
by
men
,
and
that
the
temples
built
by
them
,
and
that
their
tapers
and
candles
are
more
agréeable
to
him
then
we
his
great
lightes
,
who
without
waxing
old
or
consuming
,
do
distribute
continually
to
the
world
,
so
great
and
admirable
a
light
?
For
as
for
their
temples
they
are
but
earth
:
and
grant
that
they
be
vawted
with
stone
,
couered
with
bricke
,
leade
,
or
state
,
yea
were
it
with
gold
and
siluer
;
all
that
is
taken
out
of
the
bowels
of
the
earth
.
So
that
all
your
buildings
stand
you
in
no
more
stéed
then
earthes
and
holes
do
to
the
Foxes
,
that
is
to
preserue
you
from
the
iniuries
of
the
vehement
heate
,
raine
and
cold
:
but
you
are
not
in
any
wise
by
their
meanes
the
néerer
to
God
,
nay
rather
when
you
are
in
his
temple
of
the
world
,
they
let
you
,
that
you
cannot
behold
his
wondrous
workes
,
putting
as
it
were
a
barre
betwéene
heauen
and
you
.
And
as
for
the
images
that
ye
place
within
them
in
contempt
of
vs
,
by
your
most
detestable
ingratitude
,
séeing
that
God
doth
preserue
you
by
me
and
the
rest
of
the
celestiall
lightes
,
and
doth
bestow
on
you
all
kinde
of
blessings
,
is
it
not
then
a
great
ouersight
in
you
,
that
in
forsaking
vs
who
are
the
workemanship
of
the
Creator
,
ye
will
preferre
before
vs
images
made
by
the
deuise
of
men
,
albeit
they
approach
in
nothing
,
neither
in
matter
,
greatnes
,
qualitie
nor
effects
,
to
those
that
are
the
handie
worke
of
God
.
For
first
they
are
made
of
an
earthly
and
dead
substance
,
which
commeth
nothing
néere
our
greatnes
:
without
any
mouing
or
operation
:
and
without
the
heate
and
light
which
we
haue
.
Moreouer
,
they
are
but
lying
Doctors
,
as
Ieremy
the
Prophet
saith
:
For
they
haue
no
power
,
life
,
wisedome
,
light
,
nor
bountie
,
neither
can
they
sée
any
thing
:
is
it
not
then
falsly
done
to
go
about
to
represent
by
them
Almightie
,
who
is
the
welspring
of
life
&
light
:
and
him
,
who
is
all
goodnes
it selfe
,
&
afterward
to
translate
vnto
them
the
honour
that
appertaineth
vnto
him
?
Further
,
one
is
pictured
that
he
is
thrust
into
the
side
,
and
blood
issuing
out
,
which
was
neuer
so
:
another
sheweth
a
laughing
countenance
,
and
neuer
laugheth
.
Other
are
pictured
with
eyes
,
and
they
sée
not
,
some
with
eares
and
they
heare
not
,
and
others
with
a
mouth
and
yet
they
speake
not
at
all
.
Whereby
appeareth
,
that
there
is
no
veritie
in
their
witnesse
,
and
that
all
that
they
can
do
,
is
but
to
transport
the
mony
aut
of
our
purses
into
the
Italians
handes
,
or
to
some
other
of
their
supposes
emploied
in
their
seruices
onely
.
Nor
we
for
our
parts
,
being
the
true
celestiall
images
,
do
not
represent
any
lye
to
your
eyes
,
and
the
testimonie
that
we
yéeld
to
the
Almightie
is
most
true
:
wée
haue
not
required
any
oblations
of
your
gold
or
siluer
,
nor
any
other
seruice
or
adoration
,
as
the
Italians
haue
done
by
their
dead
images
:
and
nothing
els
do
we
request
at
your
hands
,
but
that
you
will
yéeld
to
the
Almightie
▪
the
glorie
and
honour
of
all
things
as
apperteineth
to
him
,
not
giuing
away
any
part
thereof
,
to
any
creature
that
euer
was
,
or
is
at
this
present
vnder
the
firmament
.
Sée
here
briefly
,
what
is
the
instruction
and
lesson
of
him
who
marcheth
as
King
among
other
Plannets
.
Cap.
55.
How
that
Italians
are
prooued
to
haue
abused
the
world
,
in
making
men
go
to
Ierusalem
,
by
the
forme
of
the
firmament
.
COme
we
now
to
this
great
,
gilden
,
and
azured
Heauen
,
whose
spéech
is
all
one
as
before
,
publishing
from
one
Pole
to
the
other
,
and
ouer
all
the
world
,
that
what
account
soeuer
men
make
of
their
earthly
Temples
,
they
come
nothing
néere
it
in
beautie
,
greatnes
,
long
continuance
and
lust
.
For
the
greatest
tempell
that
euer
was
built
,
was
but
of
halfe
aleague
in
lenght
,
and
the
Astronomers
afferme
that
their
is
fiftie
nine
Millions
of
leagues
from
the
earth
vnto
they
starry
Heauen
,
and
from
they
other
side
as
much
wherby
it
should
follow
that
my
roundnes
should
containe
verie
néere
thrée
hundred
fiftie
and
fowre
Millions
of
leagues
,
and
yet
for
all
that
cannot
containe
the
infinite
essence
of
God
,
How
then
doe
men
suffer
themselues
to
bee
abused
worse
then
brute
beasts
by
the
Romans
and
their
Italian
Councell
,
who
make
them
beléeue
that
they
can
shut
him
into
there
pipes
in
their
Temples
,
to
behold
him
therein
,
and
to
carrie
him
vnder
their
Canapes
to
th
ende
to
rob
you
by
this
meane
of
your
mony
,
and
altogether
to
begiule
you
.
They
same
heauen
being
round
and
equally
distant
in
all
partes
from
they
earth
:
doth
manifest
vnto
men
that
their
is
no
one
place
more
nere
to
him
or
his
heauenly
glorie
,
then
another
.
In
this
he
conuinceth
of
a
shamefastlie
and
falsehod
the
Roman
Counsell
,
and
those
that
mainetaine
it
,
who
to
approch
to
God
,
caused
in
times
paste
great
toupes
of
men
to
trot
so
farre
as
Ierusalem
and
Rome
,
to
goe
the
soner
into
God
almighties
Paradice
,
although
indéede
this
was
but
a
maske
and
shift
found
out
and
practised
by
the
Italians
to
aduance
and
increase
their
Domination
,
and
so
to
fish
mony
out
of
Iudea
Syria
:
notwithstanding
by
this
consinage
they
haue
caused
to
perish
in
these
voyages
,
that
they
made
them
to
vndertake
both
Christian
Kings
and
Princes
,
and
more
then
two
millions
of
men
,
speaking
not
of
their
great
trauels
,
perils
,
maladies
,
and
other
sorrowes
:
besides
that
they
haue
made
them
endure
,
whose
chaunce
it
was
to
returne
from
so
long
a
vyage
.
These
are
then
they
goodly
and
they
Celestiall
lessons
which
are
giuen
vs
from
aboue
,
as
most
excellent
preseruatiues
against
the
craft
and
cautelous
dealing
of
the
Italians
,
by
the
which
if
we
be
not
al
together
out
of
our
wites
,
we
shal
be
by
them
set
at
all
libertie
and
winde
our
neckes
out
of
their
Domination
,
and
by
they
same
meanes
will
kéepe
our
mony
in
our
purses
,
to
helpe
vs
at
our
néede
,

The
harmonie
of
they
holy
Scriptures
of
the
Bible
and
of
the
heauenly
creatures
to
humble
man
to
geue
glorie
onely
to
God
,
and
to
seeke
him
aboue
in
heauen
.
BVt
to
the
one
that
we
may
be
armed
on
euery
side
,
God
hath
not
onely
prouided
for
vs
these
heauenly
instruction
:
but
also
to
instruct
vs
more
familiarly
,
hee
hath
left
vs
his
Apostles
and
Prophets
to
teach
vs
all
after
one
manner
,
and
by
the
same
lessons
,
of
they
number
of
which
if
we
will
take
the
most
heauenly
,
to
wit
,
King
Dauid
in
his
Canticles
,
I
saie
they
Prophet
,
S.
Luke
and
S.
Iohn
in
their
Gospels
,
S.
Paul
to
the
Romans
and
to
they
Galathians
,
and
S.
Peter
in
his
first
Epistle
;
we
shall
finde
they
swetest
harmony
and
goodlyest
Concordance
that
may
be
deuised
to
be
found
amongst
all
the
Preachers
of
his
worde
that
are
in
the
world
.
And
sée
this
is
the
true
touch
stone
,
wherby
we
must
examine
all
they
writings
and
doctrines
of
men
:
that
is
to
wit
:
whether
they
agrée
with
they
testimonies
that
God
giueth
of
himselfe
by
his
creatures
:
which
as
they
publish
that
all
things
are
procéeded
from
a
supreme
and
former
cause
that
doth
maintaine
and
preserue
them
:
so
also
must
hee
giue
him
the
hommage
of
all
his
benefits
,
and
to
haue
recourse
to
him
as
to
a
bottomeles
fountaine
,
to
lade
out
of
him
all
blessings
,
as
well
spirituall
as
temperall
,
confessing
his
greatnes
,
bountie
,
and
excellencie
,
in
respect
of
his
great
and
admirable
workes
,
to
humble
vs
,
and
to
tame
this
pride
growing
in
vs
by
nature
,
in
exalting
him
as
the
giuer
of
all
that
which
wee
haue
,
to
depend
wholy
on
his
good
pleasure
,
and
most
holy
will
:
And
to
make
proofe
of
this
great
concordance
:
the
royal
Prophet
Dauid
speaketh
vnto
the
eternall
to
this
effect
:
Call
vpon
me
when
thou
art
in
trouble
and
I
will
helpe
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
worship
me
.
Wherein
we
see
a
strict
commaundement
to
call
vpon
God
,
and
to
gine
him
thankes
,
as
an
act
properly
due
to
the
diuinitie
and
incommunicable
to
all
the
rest
of
his
creatures
:
as
hee
speaketh
in
another
place
,
To
thee
O
God
,
who
art
aboue
in
the
heauens
,
we
lift
our
eies
.
For
to
shew
vs
the
forme
of
calling
vpon
him
,
which
is
not
to
haue
our
spirites
fixed
heere
in
earth
in
the
workes
of
mens
hands
:
but
to
eleuate
them
towardes
the
heauens
,
as
Christ
himselfe
vsed
saying
:
Our
Father
which
art
in
heauen
,
and
so
foorth
:
And
as
for
faith
,
that
it
onelye
ought
to
looke
vp
to
God
:
this
Prophet
verie
well
prooueth
.
In
God
is
my
soule
well
pleased
,
he
onely
is
my
safegard
,
and
the
rocke
of
my
defence
,
he
is
my
sauing
health
,
and
my
strong
fortresse
,
so
that
I
shall
not
fall
,
for
hee
holdeth
me
vp
.
And
if
we
regard
well
,
a
great
part
of
the
Psalmes
,
and
amongest
the
rest
,
the
104.
and
118
to
what
do
they
tend
but
to
magnifie
the
excellence
,
beuty
,
and
greatnes
of
the
workes
of
God
?
And
surely
,
there
is
no
thing
so
excellent
for
man
to
practise
,
as
to
exercise
himselfe
in
the
contemplation
of
them
,
to
giue
the
praise
and
honour
therof
vnto
his
Creatour
.
And
all
the
rest
of
the
Psalmes
tend
but
to
extoll
the
admirable
vertues
of
the
liuing
God
,
as
his
bountie
,
power
,
mercie
,
iustice
,
liberalitie
and
clemencie
.
Moreouer
,
there
are
certaine
principall
verses
amongst
the
rest
,
which
by
the
riches
of
an
immitable
eloquence
,
do
praise
,
set
forth
,
and
aboue
all
things
aduance
his
holy
and
diuine
lawe
:
shewing
that
the
soueraigne
felicitie
of
man
consisteth
in
the
mediation
therof
day
and
night
:
forcing
himselfe
with
all
his
heart
,
thorowly
to
obserue
the
same
.
But
after
that
hee
hath
thus
spoken
of
God
,
of
his
workes
,
and
of
his
law
:
what
saith
hee
,
I
pray
you
concerning
men
,
and
of
his
owne
person
?
when
he
saith
.
What
is
man
?
hée
is
a
thing
of
naught
,
and
all
that
he
worshippeth
is
but
vanitie
:
&
in
another
place
,
the
same
kingly
Prophet
saith
:
All
are
gone
out
of
the
way
:
they
are
all
corrupt
,
there
is
none
that
doth
good
,
no
not
one
.
And
speaking
of
his
owne
person
,
although
hee
were
the
most
holy
king
that
euer
raigned
ouer
Gods
people
,
he
saith
:
Be
mercifull
to
me
O
God
a
pore
sinner
,
&c.
and
that
his
mother
hath
conceiued
him
in
sinne
,
praying
God
to
wash
him
,
and
to
purge
him
from
all
his
iniquities
,
as
him
onely
that
could
doe
it
.
Now
hauing
thus
much
spoken
of
man
and
of
his
doings
,
to
abate
and
pul
down
his
pride
and
presumption
,
and
not
to
leaue
him
there
,
but
to
prepare
him
to
séeke
all
that
which
he
wanteth
in
the
person
of
his
redéemer
:
imbracing
him
by
a
true
and
liuelie
faith
,
as
being
him
that
to
satisfie
the
diuine
iustice
,
shuld
carrie
all
our
transgressions
and
sinnes
vpon
his
owne
backe
,
as
Dauid
describeth
in
the
22.
Psalme
,
and
the
Prophet
Esay
in
the
53.
Chapter
of
his
prophecie
,
which
they
did
set
downe
before
the
comming
of
Christ
,
and
after
his
death
his
Apostles
,
wel
I
haue
prooued
by
a
most
admirable
consent
and
vnity
.
He
that
wil
then
no
more
submit
himselfe
vnder
the
Italian
yoke
,
to
be
raunged
vnder
their
Domination
:
let
him
read
quicklie
the
aforesaid
bookes
,
and
consider
and
ponder
them
well
in
his
mind
,
weighing
diligently
euerie
word
,
and
euerie
sentence
one
after
another
:
and
conferring
aduisedly
the
beginning
with
the
middle
,
and
the
end
.
Let
him
examine
this
doctrine
with
other
instructions
that
God
doth
giue
vs
particularlie
both
in
heauen
and
in
earth
:
not
to
approoue
and
make
them
serue
to
our
fantasies
and
opinions
,
but
laying
all
them
wholie
aside
,
to
take
their
instructions
,
and
simplie
to
follow
their
lessens
.
In
this
doing
,
he
shall
learne
that
we
are
all
Burgesses
and
felow-Citizens
of
the
great
Temple
and
sumptuous
pallace
of
our
God
,
and
that
by
the
consideration
of
our
vicious
and
poore
nature
,
he
shall
be
taught
to
mount
aboue
the
heauens
,
to
inuocate
vpon
God
,
and
to
obtaine
by
this
meane
,
all
things
wherof
he
shall
stand
in
need
.
And
from
thence
,
comming
vnto
his
most
holy
and
sacred
word
,
magnifiyng
it
as
the
onely
instrument
of
our
saluation
,
and
a
perfect
declaration
of
the
counsell
and
will
of
God
towards
men
:
and
hauing
the
knowledge
of
these
thinges
,
no
man
shall
be
able
to
withdrawe
vs
from
this
way
of
warshipping
GOD
on
high
,
to
séeke
him
in
Temples
,
buildings
,
and
other
places
of
this
earth
,
but
if
we
goe
to
those
places
that
shall
be
onely
to
make
profession
of
our
faith
,
to
bée
assistant
at
publicke
praiers
,
to
heare
the
word
of
God
,
to
examine
whether
the
Doctrine
that
is
taught
vs
be
conformable
to
these
Doctors
,
of
whome
I
haue
now
spoken
:
which
when
we
shall
finde
,
we
shall
imbrace
as
diuine
and
of
God
,
and
putting
vs
againe
in
mynd
,
and
confirming
those
things
which
the
preached
,
we
shall
receiue
it
as
most
heauenly
doctrine
:
but
if
it
tend
to
exalt
men
and
their
works
only
to
please
them
withall
,
we
shall
receiue
it
as
procéeding
from
the
presumption
and
ouer-sight
of
men
,
who
take
themselues
to
be
wiser
then
God
,
and
for
such
stuffe
as
may
entangle
the
people
in
the
nets
of
seruilitie
,
and
fill
onely
the
purses
of
worldlie
Pastors
:
wherefore
,
without
any
regard
from
whence
it
procéedeth
,
whether
from
Coucels
or
Synods
,
or
from
any
other
sort
of
Ecclefiasticall
persons
whatsoener
,
wee
will
reiect
it
,
thinke
our selues
no
more
hounden
vnto
the
obseruation
thereof
,
then
to
the
dreames
and
tales
of
olde
women
.
On
the
other
side
knowing
that
life
euerlasting
is
giuen
vs
by
the
grace
of
God
in
our
Lorde
Iesus
Christ
,
and
is
offered
gratis
to
all
men
:
what
ginnes
soeuer
the
Italians
and
such
like
can
lay
to
drawe
our
money
finely
from
vs
,
we
shall
goe
by
them
well
enough
,
making
as
though
wée
sawe
them
not
,
and
as
though
wee
neuer
heard
talke
of
them
,
These
are
then
the
most
sure
&
certaine
remedies
,
by
the
which
all
true
Christians
may
easilie
winde
themselues
out
from
the
Italian
Domination
,
and
make
a
prouiso
,
that
their
money
be
no
more
transported
to
Rome
,
but
tary
at
home
in
their
owne
purses
.

The

discourse

WHerhfore

Spaniard

of
the
Head
,
which
workest
all
that
thou
canst
to
reduce
vnder
thy
Domination
other
nations
which
should
be
the
eye
of
Christendome
,
thou
oughtest
to
haue
as
much
wit
as
any
other
people
,
It
is
not
then
a
great
blindnes
for
thée
to
behold
thy selfe
in
such
slauerie
to
the
Roman
Counsell
,
that
thou
art
no
more
then
the
executour
and
drudge
of
their
wills
,
and
that
they
make
the
tributarie
to
them
in
huge
&
infinit
sumes
of
mony
,
wheras
thou
diddest
neuer
get
one
penny
from
them
.
And
thou
French
man
which
art
the
hart
of
Christendome
from
whom
should
flow
all
motions
of
vertues
to
encourage
the
other
partes
,
thou
hast
almost
suffered
thy selfe
to
bee
ouercome
vnder
the
spirituall
Domination
of
this
nation
,
by
their
flatteries
and
cautelous
shifts
,
suffering
them
to
put
a
knife
into
thine
owne
handes
to
destroye
thy selfe
,
to
set
all
in
combustion
and
ruine
,
to
th
end
that
they
may
fish
in
thine
ouerthrow
and
destruction

As

the
seat
and
residence
of
the
Empire
,
to
the
which
the
Apostles
and
the
first
Byshops
of

yeelded
all
obedience
and
subiection
,
what
greater
cowardlines
,
shame
and
dishonor
can
there
bee
on
her
syde

in
degenerating
from
their
ancient
Cesars

Emperours

vnder

which
all
the

did
tremble
:
they
are
at

the
slaues

vassals
of
