Againste
the
vnlawfull
insurrections
of
the
Protestantes
of
our
time
,
vnder
pretense
to
refourme
Religion
.
TWo
principall
thinges
in
euerie
Common
weale
haue
at
all
tymes
bene
especially
esteemed
and
taken
for
the
chief
.
both
which
now
in
this
our
age
throughout
al
Christendom
the
desperat
boldnes
of
certaine
most
wicked
persons
hath
disturbed
:
I
meane
,
Religion
,
and
Peace
.
The
question
of
God
allmightie
his
true
Religion
prophaned
,
I
leaue
to
those
men
to
handle
,
to
whose
custodie
and
credite
the
holy
Mysteries
of
Christian
Religion
are
,
by
the
diuine
Authoritie
of
Gods
ordinance
,
committed
:
whose
learning
,
wit
,
and
eloquence
may
further
muche
the
defense
of
so
weighty
a
mater
,
whose
Profession
,
Authoritie
and
vertue
,
ought
to
be
alwaies
emploied
about
such
Godlie
affaires
.
The
other
argument
,
that
is
,
of
Peace
broken
by
Seditions
,
of
Publike
and
good
Order
troubled
,
of
Magistrates
,
vnder
pretense
of
refourmation
,
contemned
,
of
God
and
mans
law
offended
and
transgressed
,
that
cause
and
lamentable
matter
I
had
also
at
this
time
gladly
omitted
,
leauing
it
to
the
handling
of
the
eloquente
and
wise
,
that
are
practysed
in
Publike
affaires
,
grounded
in
knowlege
of
the
lawes
,
and
weightie
Policies
of
Princes
:
had
it
not
bene
,
that
I
was
at
this
present
first
moued
to
take
the
ruefull
Discours
thereof
in
hand
by
the
earnest
request
of
such
,
to
whome
lightelie
,
without
iust
excuse
,
I
may
deny
nothing
:
then
,
lead
(
as
it
were
)
thereto
by
hope
and
regard
of
your
most
courteouse
gentellnes
and
patience
(
right
worshipfull
Audience
)
and
finally
drawen
and
driuen
to
speake
by
force
of
the
hatred
I
bare
to
so
vile
and
villanouse
a
mater
,
least
,
perhaps
as
by
mine
,
so
by
all
other
mens
silence
so
hainouse
a
thing
should
haue
escaped
quite
vnspoken
of
.
For
in
very
deed
when
I
considered
&
weighed
the
matter
with
my self
,
mine
opinion
told
me
thus
,
That
this
right
worthy
Seat
wherin
I
now
stand
,
was
wont
alwaies
to
be
the
place
open
only
to
most
eloquent
Oratours
,
occupied
most
commonlie
by
most
graue
and
auncient
Doctors
,
whose
accustomed
maner
hath
bene
to
bring
hither
,
and
to
poure
into
your
most
learned
cares
nothing
but
such
stuf
as
was
inuented
by
great
wit
,
framed
with
much
diligence
,
archeiued
&
finished
with
grauitie
,
iudgement
,
arte
and
eloquence
.
And
as
for
me
,
were
it
so
that
I
had
al
other
thinges
requisite
to
such
a
one
that
worthely
might
attempt
this
publike
exercise
and
entrie
of
commendation
in
matters
of
learning
:
yet
(
to
saie
the
verie
truthe
)
I
thought
myne
age
scarse
ripe
enough
for
the
graue
rome
of
this
so
worshipfull
a
Place
.
And
withal
,
besides
these
defectes
,
this
also
did
put
me
in
verie
great
feare
,
least
as
somtymes
Demosthenes
,
that
cheife
Pere
of
al
Greke
eloquence
,
framing
hym self
to
speake
in
the
presence
of
Philip
king
of
the
Macedons
,
happened
in
the
very
beginning
of
his
Oration
to
stay
,
to
lack
vtterance
&
wordes
,
being
astonied
with
the
Royall
Maiesty
of
so
great
a
personage
:
so
in
like
sort
I
,
addressing
my selfe
to
talke
in
this
so
great
an
assemble
of
most
learned
Audience
,
shuld
haue
peraduenture
the
very
same
,
or
that
like
chaunce
&
fortune
.
But
this
needelesse
doubt
,
and
feare
,
proceding
of
the
fainte
&
bashfull
shamefastnesse
of
youth
,
was
at
length
somewhat
dissolued
by
the
comfortable
exhortations
of
my
frendes
,
and
is
now
at
last
quite
remoued
and
put
away
by
the
most
chearefull
sight
of
this
your
gentle
presence
and
pleasant
countenances
,
wherewith
I
fele
sensibly
my self
to
be
maruelously
now
refreshed
&
prouoked
,
as
it
were
,
to
speake
boldly
&
with
good
courage
.
For
who
wold
be
afraid
to
speak
of
Seditions
in
the
presence
of
suche
quiet
persons
?
Against
treasons
,
before
moste
faithful
Subiects
?
Who
would
doubt
in
the
hearing
of
Officers
and
Magistrates
,
to
talke
against
tumultes
,
robbing
,
stealing
,
conspiracies
,
cutting
of
throtes
,
spoiling
of
Countreis
,
burning
of
Cities
,
sacking
of
Churches
,
wicked
sacrilege
,
&
most
impiouse
contempt
of
thinges
appertaining
to
God
,
&
finally
against
the
very
bane
and
pestilence
of
all
commendable
alliaunce
and
vnitie
of
Common
weales
,
&
the
vtter
ruine
and
destruction
of
all
Ciuill
Policy
and
good
Order
?
For
what
one
man
of
you
all
(
right
honorable
&
worshipfull
)
wold
gladly
or
willingly
allow
and
beare
suche
&
so
hainous
enormities
in
any
Realme
or
Country
?
I
wil
therfore
go
forward
in
my
matter
&
speake
:
yea
,
&
now
hauing
gathered
courage
by
the
assured
hope
of
your
gentle
patience
,
I
wil
say
boldly
,
that
the
Protestantes
of
our
time
haue
not
done
well
in
putting
them selues
in
armes
vnder
colour
of
refourming
Religion
:
that
they
haue
done
therein
against
all
law
,
right
and
equitie
,
not
without
intolerable
iniury
,
damage
and
wrong
in
euery
respect
to
the
Publike
estate
of
Christendome
.
In
this
poynt
consisteth
the
whole
weight
and
controuersy
of
the
question
that
was
yesterday
(
according
to
the
custome
of
this
schole
)
proponed
to
be
the
argument
of
my
talke
at
this
time
.
I
will
first
open
and
declare
vnto
you
,
that
there
was
no
cause
or
iust
occasion
,
why
these
men
shuld
rise
&
make
insurrection
.
Then
,
Last
and
finallie
,
With
these
limites
and
boundes
I
make
,
as
it
were
,
a
trauerse
and
close
my self
within
a
circle
,
out
of
the
cumpasse
whereof
the
discourse
and
order
of
my
talke
shall
not
straie
:
that
by
these
meanes
both
I
,
out
of
infinite
matter
that
offreth
it self
in
the
handling
of
this
cause
,
may
haue
certen
special
pointes
marked
and
chosen
wherof
I
may
treat
,
and
also
you
,
euen
now
before
hand
,
may
forsee
&
beare
in
mynd
,
in
hearing
what
things
,
your
learned
eares
are
lyke
to
be
emploied
during
myne
Oration
.
I
deny
vtterlie
,
that
there
was
any
good
or
reasonable
cause
,
whie
the
founders
&
brokers
of
this
new
Gospel
shuld
be
driuen
or
prouoked
to
put
them selues
in
armes
against
the
Catholikes
.
This
is
the
first
poynt
wherof
I
promised
to
speake
.
Whiles
in
few
wordes
I
declare
&
proue
this
vnto
you
,
I
humblie
request
you
,
with
diligent
attention
to
mark
and
geue
ear
.
It
behoueth
alwayes
,
that
there
be
very
great
causes
proued
why
,
before
chainge
of
lawes
shuld
be
in
any
common
weale
procured
:
&
in
very
deed
it
ought
to
be
a
maruelouse
occasion
&
the
greatest
cause
of
all
causes
,
whie
the
innouation
of
Religion
(
being
alway
the
very
backebone
of
al
Realmes
both
Christian
and
Heathen
)
shuld
be
attempted
.
But
that
either
this
or
that
should
be
don
by
force
and
armes
,
by
warre
&
rebellion
,
by
fier
&
swerd
,
by
murder
and
bloudshed
of
the
good
and
faithfull
Subiectes
,
there
can
neuer
any
reason
or
sufficiente
cause
be
alleged
or
brought
why
and
wherefore
.
I
remember
,
among
many
other
notable
lawes
,
wherwith
in
times
past
the
Lorrenses
ruled
their
common
weale
,
it
was
with
great
policy
and
wisdom
ordained
,
that
if
any
man
wold
go
about
to
procure
ani
thainge
in
the
publike
affaires
of
that
estate
,
he
shuld
stand
vp
in
a
high
place
,
&
there
hence
speake
his
minde
frely
to
the
people
,
being
then
there
assembled
about
him
:
but
yet
with
this
condition
,
that
all
the
while
he
spake
,
he
should
haue
a
rope
tied
with
a
riding
knot
loose
inough
about
his
neck
,
the
which
rope
should
be
so
long
,
that
the
other
end
therof
might
lie
on
the
ground
betwene
their
feete
that
hard
his
discourse
&
deuise
:
to
this
effect
,
that
,
if
in
that
end
of
his
tale
the
people
wer
perswaded
that
it
was
for
their
common
commodity
and
profit
,
to
make
that
chainge
and
innouation
as
he
had
said
,
then
he
shoulde
come
downe
without
any
harme
,
and
be
dimissed
with
muche
commendation
and
fauor
:
els
the
Audience
out
of
hand
might
pull
the
rope
and
reuenge
with
present
death
the
rash
attempt
and
seditious
enterprise
of
such
a
one
as
wythout
good
cause
,
bestowed
his
busy
braine
about
chainges
and
alterations
.
If
it
had
pleased
the
Princes
and
Rulers
of
the
world
in
this
our
time
to
haue
established
and
practised
this
lawe
,
we
should
haue
no
nede
now
to
sighe
at
the
sight
of
so
miserable
a
confusion
,
disorder
and
troublous
ruffling
of
all
things
.
We
should
not
haue
sene
of
late
,
and
yet
see
this
so
lamentable
an
estate
of
the
world
.
so
many
Warres
,
Tumultes
,
Slaughters
,
Ruines
,
so
many
Churches
suppressed
,
so
many
Townes
ouerturned
.
finally
we
should
not
now
rue
so
many
wicked
Sacrileges
committed
in
prophaning
of
Gods
Mysteries
,
&
sacred
things
appertaining
to
his
Honor
and
Seruice
.
But
alas
it
was
free
,
without
any
feare
of
the
rope
for
these
authors
and
fosterers
of
Sectes
,
frankly
and
boldly
to
perswade
with
the
people
,
and
bestowe
their
wordes
as
they
liste
.
And
would
God
they
had
staied
there
,
and
had
disbursed
nothing
but
vernished
woordes
:
they
wente
further
from
Woordes
to
Woundes
and
Blowes
.
They
hadde
the
Word
in
their
mouthes
,
the
Sword
in
their
handes
:
their
Word
sounded
peace
,
theyr
Sword
coyned
war
:
their
peace
serued
for
a
guylful
cloke
to
couer
crafte
and
deceyt
,
their
war
was
employed
to
execute
violence
,
crueltie
and
murder
.
Was
there
none
other
meanes
to
plant
that
bluddy
Gospell
,
but
to
attempt
Reformation
in
the
state
of
the
Churche
by
ciuil
warres
,
insurrections
and
Rebellion
?
Put
vp
thy
sword
in
the
sheth
,
saied
Christ
to
S.
Peter
:
Oute
with
thy
sword
for
the
Gospell
,
sayeth
the
new
Gospeller
.
There
was
a
Companie
of
desperat
&
wicked
personnes
that
ran
lyke
mad
men
vp
and
down
the
streates
of
Paris
with
glistering
naked
swordes
in
theyr
handes
,
the
Gospel
,
the
Gospell
:
when
they
meant
nothing
els
,
but
to
bring
a
sort
of
cursed
Sectes
and
wicked
Heresies
into
the
Realme
.
It
was
not
(
I
assure
you
honorable
&
worshipfull
)
it
was
not
the
Gospel
they
brought
,
except
they
hold
it
for
a
Gospel
to
cut
in
pecies
,
to
sacke
,
spoile
and
quite
to
ouerthrow
with
blowes
&
naked
sword
all
the
the
Euangelistes
buylded
with
the
Word
.
It
was
not
Gods
quarell
at
all
:
that
bloudy
bickering
was
neuer
taken
in
hand
for
Gods
sake
.
And
in
this
behalf
I
call
to
wittnes
euen
the
self
same
man
,
that
was
our
most
earnest
&
fierce
aduersarie
in
this
question
,
who
was
the
occasion
of
al
our
calāmitie
,
and
was
the
Author
and
maker
of
this
lamentable
Tragedie
.
In
this
matter
,
I
say
,
I
call
thee
,
frier
Luther
to
witnes
.
For
out
of
whose
mouth
(
I
pray
thee
)
fell
that
worthie
saieng
in
the
noble
assemble
of
the
learned
and
honorable
at
Lipsia
:
Neither
was
this
matter
euer
begonne
for
Gods
quarell
,
nother
shal
be
ended
for
Gods
sake
.
O
noble
sentence
,
and
worthie
in
deed
to
come
out
of
his
mouth
,
that
would
be
called
the
heauenly
Prophere
,
the
third
Elias
,
the
fifth
Euangeliste
.
Was
this
matter
,
say
you
,
neuer
begonne
for
Gods
sake
?
I
beleue
it
wel
.
What
was
then
the
cause
,
I
pray
you
good
syr
.
that
ye
made
so
cruel
,
so
long
,
so
deadlie
warre
against
the
Christians
,
that
ye
sticked
not
to
trouble
al
Christendome
with
ciuil
barayle
,
with
insurrections
&
vprores
,
with
tumultes
,
sedition
,
&
rebellion
?
that
ye
could
find
in
your
hartes
,
to
fight
against
your
own
parentes
,
&
your
own
children
,
against
your
Rulers
&
magistrates
,
yea
&
against
the
church
of
christ
?
War
ought
neuer
to
be
made
without
most
waighty
occasion
.
For
it
is
that
part
of
a
wise
man
to
try
all
meanes
&
waies
,
rather
than
to
lay
hand
on
his
weapon
:
but
that
men
shuld
fight
at
home
in
their
own
countries
against
their
own
felows
,
their
own
neighbors
,
their
own
parents
,
there
is
no
reson
nor
cause
that
euer
can
be
found
for
it
:
or
surely
if
any
be
,
it
is
this
,
that
it
be
don
by
Commission
&
lawful
authority
for
Gods
honor
,
for
Gods
sake
only
,
&
for
none
other
respect
:
&
you
,
sir
Luther
,
do
flatly
,
(
and
yet
most
truly
)
deny
,
that
these
your
doinges
were
for
any
suche
reipect
at
all
.
If
I
were
able
to
say
nothing
in
this
matter
,
but
this
that
thou
thy self
saiest
for
me
,
yet
out
of
doubt
,
by
that
verdict
&
iugement
of
al
honest
,
wise
,
&
indifferent
men
,
I
should
preuail
in
this
cause
,
and
proue
al
your
sect
to
be
seditious
,
rash
,
cruel
,
wicked
,
traiterous
against
God
&
man
,
for
that
without
any
iust
occasion
,
ye
haue
so
long
&
so
cruelly
troubled
the
whole
estate
of
Christendom
.
But
you
say
,
the
faith
was
wel
nigh
quite
quenched
,
&
out
of
the
Church
.
It
is
a
wonderous
matter
ye
speake
of
.
Christ
praied
for
S.
Peter
,
that
his
Faith
shuld
neuer
faile
.
And
wil
ye
say
,
he
praid
in
vaine
,
lost
his
labor
,
and
could
not
obtain
his
prayer
?
that
were
iniury
and
reproche
to
the
sonne
of
God
.
The
holye
Ghost
came
downe
from
heauen
into
the
Church
here
militant
on
earth
,
to
teache
her
al
truth
.
Hath
he
not
taught
her
?
you
blaspheme
the
holy
Ghost
,
so
to
say
.
But
goe
to
:
let
it
be
graunted
that
,
as
you
imagine
all
maner
of
fonde
&
absurd
thinges
,
so
you
thought
in
this
poynte
with
no
lesse
madnesse
,
that
the
Christian
Faith
was
lost
,
or
at
least
that
Christian
Religion
being
nigh
outworne
and
spent
before
your
happy
daies
needed
to
be
restored
by
such
excellent
,
graue
,
godly
,
and
wise
men
as
you
were
,
replenished
with
all
maner
of
knowledge
,
vertue
and
heauenly
giftes
of
the
sprite
.
To
be
short
,
your
purpose
was
,
ye
say
,
to
refourme
the
Christian
Faith
.
Howe
then
?
When
you
could
not
therin
preuail
,
nor
perswade
the
people
,
that
was
somewhat
stubburn
and
stiffenecked
perhaps
as
you
iudged
,
did
you
thinke
it
the
best
way
by
and
by
with
gonneshot
,
and
bytels
to
beat
and
driue
the
faith
into
their
heades
?
Who
euer
being
in
his
right
wit
did
thinke
,
that
any
thing
might
be
perswaded
by
force
?
Men
vse
to
perswade
the
minde
and
not
the
bodye
:
but
it
is
moste
certaine
,
that
the
minde
,
as
it
maye
be
bent
,
led
,
and
induced
by
reason
,
so
by
stripes
,
blowes
&
buffets
it
can
neuer
be
compelled
and
constrained
.
But
it
was
a
carnal
Religion
that
these
flesshly
Gospellers
brought
and
taught
,
&
therefore
they
dyd
what
they
could
to
driue
it
into
mens
braynes
with
strokes
,
and
to
prick
it
into
mens
flessh
with
swordes
,
dags
,
and
daggers
.
It
may
be
,
ye
were
muche
offended
with
the
vitiouse
maners
and
ill
liuing
of
men
now
a
dayes
.
In
good
faith
and
so
were
we
.
there
is
no
honest
Catholike
man
that
euer
was
delighted
therwith
.
But
yet
when
we
saw
that
it
was
very
hard
fully
to
cleanse
&
purge
anie
one
familie
or
how
shold
from
all
maner
of
synnes
&
sores
,
we
thought
it
a
matter
of
far
greater
difficultie
&
importance
,
to
amend
the
faultes
&
heale
the
wondes
of
al
the
whole
corps
of
Christendom
together
.
therfore
of
necessity
,
be
cause
we
could
not
remedie
that
desperat
case
by
reason
of
the
multitude
,
we
bore
with
that
common
and
vulgare
Deceases
and
vices
of
al
sortes
of
men
,
the
cure
wherof
was
more
past
hope
,
and
did
take
them
patientlye
,
but
yet
surely
not
without
great
greif
and
sorow
to
see
them
&
open
preaching
continuallie
against
them
.
But
you
(
sowr
Checkmasters
&
most
bitter
Controllers
of
maners
)
went
about
,
lyke
Iudges
sent
from
heauen
or
Physitions
dropte
owt
of
the
skyes
,
to
n
and
cut
of
with
sword
,
&
burn
with
fire
and
gunpowder
all
at
a
pushe
the
faultes
and
folies
of
the
whole
world
together
.
Yf
ye
had
bene
officers
hauing
Commission
and
authoritie
so
to
doe
,
yet
your
Iudgement
and
processe
could
not
be
excused
herein
from
exceding
crueltie
and
raishnes
:
but
where
it
appeareth
ye
were
but
flingbraynes
&
light
Iackstrawes
hauing
no
authoritie
at
al
,
that
toke
vppon
you
,
without
any
examination
,
without
processe
of
law
,
without
any
sentence
,
to
condemne
al
Christendome
,
to
rack
it
,
to
punish
it
,
and
with
most
greuouse
and
painefull
tormentes
to
teare
and
turne
vpsyde
down
the
whole
world
:
what
shall
I
call
this
but
a
bloudy
Butcherie
,
a
haynous
wickednes
,
a
dyuelish
dealing
,
an
impietie
neuer
to
be
pardoned
?
O
but
(
say
you
)
the
Catholikes
did
lyue
vitiously
,
the
Cleargie
were
out
of
order
,
the
Princes
and
Rulers
ruled
not
as
they
should
:
yea
&
there
were
manie
ceremonies
in
the
Churche
that
we
could
not
brook
.
I
assure
you
these
be
greuous
&
weighty
Inditementes
.
Who
laid
them
in
,
I
pray
you
?
Who
but
you
,
the
worst
men
,
&
naughtiest
liuers
that
euer
trode
on

?
What
blames
the
theefe
Verres
his
mate
?
Or
cutthrote
falles
with
Miles
at

The
third
Elias
him self
did
playnlye
confesse
,
that
the
manners
of
men
were
far
more
vitious
vnder
his
Gospel
,
then
euer
they
wer

vnder
the
Popedome

He
hath
said

It

As
for
thy
other
most
wicked
doeinges
afterward
in
Fraunce
I
say
nothinge
at
this
tyme
.
What
shal
I
here
rekon
vp
and
open
to
your
learned
eares
the
vile
behauiour
,
the
leacherous
liuing
,
the
abhominable
adulteries
,
the
filthie
whoordomes
,
the
dubblenes
,
the
robberies
,
the
crueltie
,
the
Sacriledges
,
of
other
of
the
sam●
stampe
,
who
vnder
colour
of
Religion
and
hypocritical
name
and
Title
of
Ministers
and
Gospellers
deceaue
and
beguyle
the
whole
worlde
?
To
make
few
wordes
,
the
abiects
&
outcastes
,
the
most
wicked
and
base
of
all
sortes
of
men
are
gon
to
this
gospellysh
Congregation
like
chaf
winowed
out
of
Gods
floore
,
or
like
as
vile
filth
&
ordure
doth
run
&
flow
in
to
a
stincking
gutter
or
sinke
.
But
especially
if
we
consider
the
Patriarches
of
this
Synagog
,
the
chief
Authors
,
the
makers
and
Masters
of
these
Sectes
:
we
shall
plainly
see
,
as
in
part
I
haue
declared
of
the
thre
forenamed
Captains
,
that
ther
was
neuer
in
the
Church
of
Christ
such
wedes
sprong
vp
,
so
lewd
,
so
lecherous
,
so
proud
,
so
arrogant
,
so
spitefull
,
so
malitiouse
,
so
wicked
.
For
they
are
so
clad
with
al
manner
of
naughtines
,
that
ther
is
nor
hand
,
nor
foote
voied
of
vice
,
nor
any
one
part
of
all
theyr
bodies
vnspotted
,
nor
any
wicked
acte
absent
from
theyr
whole
synfull
carcasses
.
O
ye
vertuous
Refourmors
,
could
ye
beare
with
all
these
abhominations
in
your
owne
manners
,
&
could
abyde
nothing
amisse
among
Catholike
men
?
The
flame
of
your
fyrie
Charitie
was
so
hot
,
that
ye
dydde
your
beste
to
burne
vp
quite
other
mens
faultes
,
yea
,
the
men
themselues
,
theyr
Cities
,
houses
,
dwellinges
and
all
.
But
ye
would
not
so
muche
as
sweale
your
owne
Coates
with
the
leaste
sparkle
of
that
consuminge
fyre
.
If
all
they
that
had
offended
most
,
had
first
suffered
punishement
proportionable
to
their
desertes
,
you
had
gon
to
the
potere
this
:
it
had
bene
your
lot
,
who
euery
one
of
you
haue
moste
wickedly
transgressed
God
and
mans
law
,
to
haue
gon
first
to
the
gallowes
.
Would
God
that
order
of
iustice
had
bene
obserued
:
there
had
bene
by
this
tyme
not
one
of
that
your
wicked
packe
and
Conspiracie
lefte
aliue
to
punish
the
Catholikes
so
cruelly
with
warre
,
fire
,
and
sword
,
liued
they
wel
or
yll
.
But
you
can
spare
your selues
well
inough
,
&
are
in
the
meane
time
so
streight
laced
,
that
ye
cannot
find
in
your
cankered
consciences
to
pardon
any
offense
in
other
men
.
Ye
were
so
inflamed
with
the
zeale
of
the
Gospell
and
of
Godes
house
,
that
ye
cried
out
against
the
Catholikes
and
proclaimed
them
Superstitiouse
,
Adulterers
,
Tirannes
,
Idolatres
&c.
If
all
be
true
,
as
you
say
,
indeed
it
is
a
weightie
mater
worthie
to
be
sharpely
loked
vpon
that
ye
lay
in
against
them
.
But
if
all
these
be
but
lyes
,
fables
,
and
false
surmises
of
your
owne
malitiouse
stomakes
,
as
they
be
in
dede
,
then
you
vncharitable
backbiters
,
you
most
impudent
sclaunderers
,
haue
deserued
to
abide
your selues
the
iust
punishment
due
to
those
faultes
,
Wel
,
if
it
were
so
that
nedes
ye
would
to
it
,
and
caste
your
Vowe
on
the
hedge
:
yea
needed
not
streight
wayes
to
fight
for
the
mater
.
For
ye
had
the
common
Stewes
and
brothell
houses
open
at
all
tymes
,
and
euery
where
at
your
pleasure
.
Lighte
women
maried
,
and
vnmaried
,
yea
and
Nunnes
that
had
professed
Virginitie
,
as
you
had
done
,
were
ready
by
your
lewd
perswasions
(
more
was
the
pittie
)
to
serue
your
filthye
lustes
,
to
keepe
you
companie
,
to
goe
to
the
diuell
arme
in
arme
with
you
.
But
what
if
perhappes
some
of
you
dwelled
among
good
men
in
suche
well
ordered
Townes
,
where
good
Rule
was
so
narowly
loked
to
,
that
by
no
meanes
they
could
be
suffred
to
haue
a
Mistresse
Candida
for
a
vessell
of
easement
,
Some
of
your
side
suffred
for
the
Words
sake
,
for
so
ye
cal
the
cursed
gospel
of
yours
Yea
and
well
worthy
to
,
I
assure
you
.
For
they
neuer
ceased
to
bark
at
Prelats
&
Princes
,
to
worke
al
meanes
to
wring
the
sword
out
of
theyr
handes
,
to
trouble
and
disorder
the
state
of
common
weales
:
Finally
they
neuer
had
theyr
ful
of
theyr
sundrie
wicked
practises
against
God
,
of
theyr
raishe
madnesse
and
furiouse
blasphemies
against
the
blessed
Sacrament
of
the
Altar
.
Yea
,
but
you
saie
it
was
the
very
true
worde
of
God
they
preached
,
they
were
the
men
of
God
,
the
Martyrs
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
Apostels
of
Christendome
.
These
be
high
Titles
.
Will
they
be
any
higher
?
I
wil
speake
for
them
,
to
set
them
vp
one
steppe
more
.
They
were
those
that
labored
to
clyme
vp
to
the
North
,
to
place
theyr
seates
aboue
the
cloudes
of
the
heauens
,
to
be
like
Lucifer
▪
Checkmates
with
God
himself
.
And
what
of
al
this
?
Was
it
meete
that
because
they
could
not
freely
and
frankely
preache
the
worde
,
therefore
by
and
by
they
should
lay
hand
on
the
sword
?
The
Apostles
of
Iesus
Christe
were
wont
to
suffer
,
not
to
geue
blowes
:
to
take
not
to
doe
iniury
.
S.
Paule
was
content
rather
to
leese
his
head
,
and
paciently
to
suffer
the
sword
,
then
to
strike
or
cause
any
to
reuenge
his
quarell
.
S.
Peter
was
wrongfully
crucified
,
and
yet
procured
no
man
to
be
troubled
for
it
.
Why
do
not
the
new
Apostles
folow
the
olde
Apostles
example
?
O
Master
Ministers
,
it
is
a
very
hard
Word
that
ye
bring
vs
.
for
ye
speake
gōnestones
,
your
Gospel
is
to
hot
,
ye
preache
fire
and
powder
,
your
Religion
is
to
cruell
,
it
breedeth
bloud
and
murder
.
Iesus
Christ
was
contented
to
ride
on
an
Asse
,
the
Apostles
thought
it
no
skorne
to
goe
barefoote
:
and
we
embrace
gladlye
,
with
reuerence
their
patience
,
humilitie
,
vertue
,
and
mild
manner
in
planting
the
Gospel
.
But
you
ride
to
preach
on
barbd
horses
,
&
put
on
the
corselet
not
of
faith
,
but
of
iron
and
steele
,
to
set
forward
your
strainge
Religion
.
Al
the
world
may
see
,
that
,
as
the
maner
and
order
of
your
procedinges
is
contrary
to
Christ
,
so
all
the
stuffe
ye
vtter
,
is
likewise
contrary
to
his
heauenly
Doctrine
.
What
?
Could
ye
not
suffer
Martyrdome
gladly
for
the
gospel
?
No
forsoth
:
ye
chose
rather
to
slay
than
to
be
slaine
,
&
no
maruell
.
For
ye
loked
for
none
other
commoditie
by
your
Gospel
,
but
a
losenesse
and
liberty
to
liue
at
your
pleasure
.
And
therfore
such
Gospellers
for
such
a
Gospel
were
very
loth
to
leese
their
liues
.
The
theefe
wil
neuer
gladly
suffer
deathe
and
spend
his
life
in
defense
of
theft
:
for
he
purposeth
to
haue
none
other
frute
and
profite
by
theft
,
but
his
sweete
life
in
this
world
maintained
at
pleasure
.
He
that
loseth
his
life
,
sayeth
Christ
,
preserueth
it
into
life
euerlasting
:
Hold
stil
your
hands
a
little
while
,
lay
downe
your
Swordes
and
priuye
Daggers
,
let
your
fury
coole
,
and
harken
to
reason
,
and
ye
shall
plainly
perceiue
,
that
there
is
great
oddes
betwene
the
order
and
due
Ministration
of
Iustice
,
that
the
Emperoure
and
Christen
Princes
vsed
to
execute
againste
your
wicked
transgressions
:
and
your
impudent
boldnesse
,
Traiterous
Rebellion
,
and
Bloudy
Cruelty
against
Christendome
.
By
the
authority
of
God
allmighty
they
beare
the
sword
,
Marcus
Cicero
did
.
Bondslaues
refuse
to
beare
the
yoke
vnder
their
Maisters
:
Subiectes
disdaine
to
obey
the
Commaundementes
and
Rule
of
their
Magistrates
,
Theues
would
be
Lordes
and
raigne
ouer
all
.
Who
be
robbers
,
if
you
be
Refourmers
?
Yea
,
who
then
shall
be
called
Spoilers
,
Ennemies
,
Traitors
,
Tyrannes
,
and
Cruell
Bouchers
,
if
you
be
Giltlesse
and
Innocentes
?
To
conclude
in
fewe
wordes
,
what
reasonable
cause
doe
ye
alleage
for
your selues
,
why
ye
made
warres
so
wicked
and
so
abhominable
,
why
ye
prepared
fire
and
fagot
to
burne
the
whole
world
?
was
it
because
ye
were
sometimes
burned
for
heresie
?
Truly
ye
suffred
not
so
muche
nor
so
often
as
ye
deserued
:
but
if
perhaps
,
according
to
your
desertes
,
y●
had
gon
oftner
to
the
stake
,
yet
ye
should
haue
suffred
it
patiently
for
the
Gospels
sake
,
if
ye
were
Gospellers
(
for
so
were
the
Apostles
wont
to
do
)
at
least
wise
ye
shoulde
not
haue
resisted
wyth
force
of
armes
,
because
ye
were
subiectes
,
and
were
punished
by
an
order
of
law
at
the
commaundement
of
the
Magistrats
and
superiour
powers
.
Could
not
the
freedome
of
your
Gospell
florishe
and
purchase
you
the
carnall
freedome
and
loose
libertie
of
the
fleshe
by
no
meanes
without
warre
?
In
good
soothe
ye
neded
not
to
repine
for
lacke
of
libertie
.
For
euery
where
ye
were
wont
to
set
the
vsuall
and
accustomed
fastes
of
the
Church
at
naught
,
and
fill
the
Panche
freely
,
to
cary
a
sister
wife
about
with
you
,
to
toule
Nunnes
out
of
Cloysters
,
and
with
filthy
and
sacrilegious
Lechery
to
abuse
them
:
yea
&
most
commonly
euery
Apostate
Monke
had
his
Nunne
at
his
taile
.
And
so
it
agreed
wel
,
if
god
wold
haue
had
it
so
:
for
,
Holy
Kate
her
holy
mate
,
And
like
his
like
must
loue
:
It
was
the
Frier
Apostles
pleasure
,
that
his
Lady
Venus
Court
should
be
franke
and
free
.
If
thy
wife
,
saith
he
,
wil
not
do
it
,
Was
it
to
restore
the
Christen
Faithe
,
(
being
as
ye
thoughte
well
nighe
worne
out
)
that
ye
made
so
great
sturre
?
Your
labor
was
needlesse
:
for
the
Churche
of
God
,
the
Seat
and
sure
Piller
of
Truth
,
hath
allwaies
,
Men
that
professed
Christianity
,
haue
sought
cruelly
and
outragiously
a
longe
time
against
Christen
men
,
haue
sought
their
liues
and
goods
,
haue
bereaued
them
of
house
and
home
;
of
Church
and
Chappell
:
welthy
and
rich
Cities
are
impouerished
,
sacked
&
spoiled
,
Church
Vestries
are
voided
,
rifled
&
robbed
:
And
now
if
a
man
call
them
to
accomptes
,
&
aske
the
cause
of
al
these
their
tragical
&
cruel
doings
,
he
shal
haue
a
short
answer
with
mum
budget
,
except
they
will
peraduenture
allege
this
,
that
the
lofty
Ambition
,
the
gredy
Auarice
,
the
desperat
boldnes
of
certen
w●tō
&
lose
friers
haue
ministred
iust
occasion
of
so
horrible
,
wicked
,
&
hainous
battel
.
Now
I
come
(
most
gentle
Audience
)
to
the
second
parte
of
this
matter
,
It
is
great
pitye
,
When
Kinges
and
Rulers
kepe
ill
rule
,
The
people
paies
for
all
:
The
time
shall
come
,
Oh
,
I
tremble
when
I
speake
it
,
the
time
shall
come
in
deede
,
when
it
shall
repent
them
to
late
,
that
by
their
lightnesse
and
raish
panges
,
so
much
and
so
manie
mens
blood
hath
bene
shed
.
Yet
to
say
the
truthe
in
suche
warres
,
most
commonlie
,
the
souldiours
are
excused
for
that
theyr
part
is
rather
to
obey
,
fulfil
and
accomplisshe
their
lawful
Princes
and
Capitains
commaundement
,
then
deliberate
,
dispute
and
reason
of
the
equitie
of
the
cause
wherefore
they
fight
.
But
in
this
domesticall
insurrection
,
in
this
mostruous
Tumulte
,
and
Sedition
,
that
hath
bene
sturred
vp
these
many
yeres
vnder
pretense
of
refourmation
in
maters
of
Religion
,
wherein
nor
Capitaine
,
nor
Magistrate
,
nor
Prince
,
nor
Emperour
biddeth
any
man
strike
:
Where
without
anie
Lieutenant
general
,
knight
Martial
,
or
deputie
Captaine
all
the
whole
hoste
is
but
an
assemble
of
priuate
men
,
of
common
souldiours
,
or
rather
of
rouers
,
cutthrotes
and
moste
cruell
murderers
,
who
is
voide
of
hainous
offense
?
what
one
is
free
from
maliciouse
treason
?
Who
of
all
this
companie
is
able
to
say
,
that
he
is
in
his
conscience
giltlesse
,
innocent
and
vnspotted
?
Priuate
men
that
had
no
Authoritie
●t
all
,
bad
battaill
them selues
of
theyr
owne
headdes
,
and
styckte
not
,
without
theyr
Kynge
and
Soueraigne
his
commandement
,
to
bringe
and
receaue
into
the
Realme
,
forayners
,
straingers
,
hyred
souldioures
and
enemies
.
I
wyll
aske
them
nowe
no
more
,
what
iuste
Quarell
,
what
reasonable
Cause
they
had
,
to
muster
and
to
proclayme
warre
.
Be
it
,
that
the
Cause
was
moste
iuste
and
sufficiente
,
because
theyr
pleasure
was
so
:
But
this
I
aske
them
,
what
lawefull
Power
,
what
lawe
,
what
Statute
,
what
Right
,
what
Custome
or
common
Example
of
Antiquitie
,
what
Authoritie
and
Commission
they
had
so
to
doe
?
Whereas
they
are
but
mere
Priuate
men
and
Subiectes
,
called
to
no
Office
nor
Authoritie
at
all
,
nor
placed
in
anye
roome
or
Dignitie
in
the
Common
weale
:
yet
they
dare
be
so
bolde
,
as
to
Muster
,
to
Campe
,
to
pytche
a
Fylde
,
they
take
vppon
them
to
mynister
Iustice
,
and
right
(

Rather
may
I
cal
it
moste
vnmercifull

they
wyll
needes
be
Rulers
,
yea
and
rule
al
Rulers
and
the

alone
.
If
a

might
be
so
bold
as
to
aske
you
nowe

right
Honorable

wherehence

Who

By

all
these

either
ye
shoulde

domme
without

(
as
they
were
then
A

)
Or

As
for

or
rather
Luder
,
Sprite
Incubus
(
as
the
common
reporte
goeth
)
who
is
your
chiefe
Apostell
and
Patriarche
:
We
knowe
him
verie
well
,
what
he
was
,
whence
he
came
,
and
what
authoritie
he
had
.
When
he
was
a
yonge
man
he
studied
the
ciuill
law
,
and
afterward
when
for
his
recreation
he
walked
in
the
field
nigh
the
Vniuersitie
of
Erforde
,
This
bragginge
Thraso
telleth
manie
strainge
matters
of
him selfe
more
maruelouse
then
true
.
This
is
more
like
to
be
true
as
he
reporteth
of
him selfe
,
that
he
had
manie
times
familiar
conference
and
talke
with
the
Diuell
.
Ihon
Caluine
borne
at
Nouiodunum
in
Picardie
,
What
neede
I
here
againe
bring
you
in
mind
of
that
Epicure
Beza
the
Burgonion
,
a
Licentiate
in
law
,
who
taketh
so
muche
Poeticall
licence
,
that
in
his
bawdie
and
fylthie
Epigrammes
he
passeth
farre
the
wanton
Pagan
Poetes
Martiall
,
and
Tibullus
?
What
shall
I
speake
of
Bernardinus
Ochinus
the
Italiane
,
who
laboreth
to
plante
the
beastly
Doctrine
of
Polygamie
,
that
is
,
that
more
then
one
wife
at
once
may
ioyne
with
a
man
in
the
state
of
lawful
matrimony
,
willing
therefore
and
perswadinge
men
to
be
Manywiuers
,
as
the
Turkes
are
.
What
shall
I
tell
you
of
Peter
Martyr
the
Renegate
Moncke
,
or
of
Bernarde
Rotman
an
vnlearned
Asse
that
beganne
to
professe
learninge
,
and
by
color
of
only
Scripture
,
whiche
he
vnderstode
not
,
expelled
the
Catholikes
out
of
the
Citie
of
Munster
?
Or
of
Ihon
of
Leid
that
tailor
,
that
furiouse
captaine
of
the
mad
Anabaptistes
,
who
,
within
a
yeare
after
,
got
the
vpper
hand
of
Rotman
,
draue
out
the
Lutherans
,
brought
in
that
Anabaptistes
began
to
raigne
in
the
very
same
Cit
,
hauing
won
&
conquered
the
field
by
the
same
crafte
&
pretense
of
scripture
only
,
as
Rotman
did
before
,
&
so
gaue
him
a
fall
in
his
own
turn
&
serued
him
with
his
own
sance
?
or
of
Osiander
that
Holie
Man
commonlye
called
the
seconde
Enoch
,
a
Goddes
name
,
or
of
Carolostadius
that
rude
maried
Archedeacon
of
Wittemberge
,
who
became
afterwarde
for
mere
foly
a
mad
and
vnskilful
plowghman
,
to
the
wonder
and
laughinge
game
of
all
that
country
.
Or
of
Illyricus
,
Musculus
,
Farellus
,
Virettus
?
Or
of
Bucer
,
Morot
and
Malot
,
the
ringleaders
and
teachers
of
all
mischefe
?
good
God
,
what
a
rable
haue
we
here
,
what
a
noble
ranke
of
vertuous
,
graue
&
renoumed
Fathers
is
here
?
such
as
I
assure
you
,
no
honest
and
discreete
householder
woulde
euer
suffer
by
his
good
will
to
tarie
within
his
doores
.
Such
Champions
are
they
that
professe
them selues
to
be
the
Aduersaries
and
enemies
of
the
Catholike
Churche
:
these
be
the
captains
that
stand
against
the
Bisshopes
of
Christes
Church
,
the
kinges
of
Christendome
and
Rulers
of
common
Weales
.
Such
are
the
Oratoures
and
Preachers
that
vse
to
declaime
,
to
raile
,
to
thunder
againste
the
blood
&
Shrines
of
Martyres
,
against
the
Catholyke
and
vniuersal
Religion
of
the
Christians
,
against
the
mystical
and
holy
Sacramentes
of
the
Churche
:
Yea
and
sticke
not
,
like
madde
dogges
,
to
barcke
and
baye
against
the
very
blessed
and
pretiouse
body
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
These
,
yea
such
fellowes
as
these
be
,
are
they
who
nowe
these
manie
yeres
,
vsurpe
a
Lordly
authoritie
ouer
vs
,
whome
we
are
compelled
to
take
for
our
masters
,
who
take
vppon
them
to
controlle
the
doinges
and
maners
of
all
the
whole
world
:
And
yet
can
we
learn
by
no
meanes
wherehence
came
this
so
Imperiall
a
soueraigntie
,
or
who
gaue
them
so
greate
and
princely
Authoritie
:
except
we
say
they
had
it
of
Satan
,
and
that
they
be
the
very
vndouted
prophets
and
Forerunners
of
Antichrist
.
The
Bysshoppes
and
Prelates
of
Christes
Church
doe
excommunicate
them
out
their
flocke
,
and
seperate
them
from
the
mystical
Society
,
felloship
and
Communion
of
all
Christian
men
.
The
Christen
Princes
and
Rulers
of
the
worlde
do
bannissh
them
,
do
take
them
for
outlawes
,
and
both
by
proclamations
and
force
of
armes
trauaile
with
much
care
and
diligence
,
to
defende
and
saue
themselues
and
theyr
louing
Subiectes
from
them
:
God
allmightie
the
Omnipotent
Lord
and
Ruler
of
heauen
and
earth
neuer
signifyed
to
the
worlde
by
any
miracle
,
Signe
,
or
seely
token
,
that
we
shoulde
take
suche
as
these
are
for
hys
Commissioners
or
Deputies
:
excepte
a
man
will
saye
,
that
this
is
a
Miracle
,
that
these
fellowes
oftentymes
(
whyles
in
the
presence
of
the
People
,
they
faine
that
they
are
able
,
in
the
Vertue
of

,
to
restore
the

doe

Preacher
did
,
one
Mathias
in
Polonia
,
and
the
like
is
crediblie
reported
of
Ihon
Caluine
at
Geneua
.
Howe
then
▪
What
shal
we
take
them
to
be
?
In
fewe
wordes
,
they
are
theeues
that
come
in
by
the
Windowe
,
they
are
Murderers
,
Traytours
,
Heretykes
,
Satans
Ministers
.
For
why
,
theyr
doeinges
declare
no
lesse
.
They
doe
the
Commons
wronge
,
they
conspire
againste
Princes
,
they
diuide
the
Churche
with
Sectes
,
they
prouoke
God
hym selfe
with
horrible
Blasphemie
.
By
flatterie
,
and
bearinge
themselues
a
lofte
like
graue
bearded
goates
they
currie
fauor
with
the
simple
people
,
and
studie
to
be
in
credit
with
the
Commons
&
basest
sort
,
by
clawing
them
where
they
itche
,
and
telling
them
faire
tales
of
liberty
,
loosenes
and
light
burdens
,
such
as
they
know
the
people
are
glad
to
heare
.
Otherwise
in
verie
dede
they
haue
nothing
to
do
with
such
affaires
as
they
meddle
withal
.
They
can
neuer
beare
out
themselues
by
any
law
of
God
or
man
,
for
takinge
vpon
them
the
office
and
profession
of
Refourminge
Religion
,
nor
excuse
them selues
by
any
meanes
from
hauing
don
to
much
amisse
,
and
moste
greuouse
wrong
,
in
that
they
toke
weapon
in
hand
and
made
war
.
For
they
,
being
but
priuate
men
,
yea
&
y●
the
most
vile
,
base
,
&
worste
of
al
men
,
in
raging
choler
&
furiouse
madnes
,
did
stand
vp
,
gainsay
and
resiste
the
lawes
and
magistrats
,
did
sturre
them selues
&
others
against
theyr
Christian
Emperors
,
kings
,
&

,
did
seperat
themselues
from
the
compani
of
al
honest

subiectes
,
did
bid
battail
to
their

did
reioyce

O

howe
many

howe

The

O

to

hast
thou
brought

reserued

What

what

what

what

of

this
?

the

It

that

more
vnrulie

more

Pardon

I

you
(
most

Audience
)
pardon

,
if
perhappes
this
quicke
and
egree

in
your

ouer
bitter
and
lothsome
.
If
I
speake

&
more

,
th●●an
well
agree
with
your
milde
and
gentle
natures
,
it
may
please
your
goodnesse
to
haue
me
excused
,
For
what
can
be
or
spoken
to
bitterly
,
or
don
to
seuerely
against
them
,
These
be
but
trifles
&
light
maters
in
comparison
of
the
rest
of
this
theyr
wicked
&
traiterouse
conspiracie
.
In
the
very
honorable
presence
&
hearing
of
our
Late
soueraigne
Charles
the
fifte
,
&
the
estates
of
the
Empire
at
Wormes
,
the
worthie
third
Elias
,
out
of
those
words
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
in
the
Gospel
(
I
came
not
to
send
peace
,
but
the
sword
)
concluded
,
He
saied
,
that
men
should
waisshe
their
handes
in
the
bloud
of
the
Romish
Clergie
.
He
affirmed
in
his
writinges
,
that
it
was
the
very
true
nature
&
complexion
of
the
gospel
to
moue
and
sturre
vp
war
and
sedition
:
vplandish
men
of
Germanie
,
not
to
obeie
theyr
Princes
,
nother
to
goe
to
warre
with
them
againste
the
Turke
:
With
these
strainge
opinions
and
singular
Paradoxes
the
fundation
of
the
fift
Gospell
was
laied
,
and
hence
consequentlie
the
springes
and
grasses
of
this
wicked
conspiracie
and
treason
,
we
talke
of
,
began
to
budde
.
When
Thomas
Muntzer
,
this
Euangelistes
scholer
,
Oh
wicked
villaine
,
oh
pestilent
monster
▪
oh
cursed
Rakehell
.
Yea
and
the
impudent
Caytif
was
not
ashamed
to
call
it
also
,
the
battaille
of
the
lord
.
For
so
h●
cried
to
his
souldiours
:
fight
good
brethern
,
fight
manfullie
the
lords
battaille
,
sig●
Gods
field
.
For
he
saied
,
he
had
commission
by
Gods
own
mouth
,
to
bid
battaille
against
all
Princes
&
Kinges
.
The
verie
same
saied
Luther
also
,
Well
nowe
,
Muntzer
then
goeth
forwarde
verie
lustilie
and
desperatelie
with
his
Vplandyshe
Souldioures
,
of
whome
he
had
a
meruelouse
greate
number
assembled
about
him
,
and
laboreth
tothe
and
naile
what
he
could
,
to
wring
the
sword
out
of
the
magistrates
handes
,
to
depriue
them
of
al
authoritie
,
power
and
rule
,
to
degrade
and
depose
them
from
all
honor
,
dignitie
and
Princelie
estate
.
Manie
a
notable
Castle
and
Palais
,
manie
a
goodlie
Abbey
and
Churche
was
quite
rased
and
ouerthrowen
by
his
wicked

and
doinge
:
yea
in
onlie
Franconia
,
as
somme
men

,
n●
lesse
then
three
hundred
.
Vpon
this
at
Franckford
two
noble
Captaines
,
a
tailor
and
a
shomaker
,
beganne
to
strike
vp
alarme
to
a
freshe
rebellion
,
to
blow
the
trompet
,
to
call
their
souldiours
to
the
field
.
They
shutte
the
toune
gates
,
appointed
new
companies
and
Aldermen
of
the
wardes
,
made
election
of
new
Senators
and
counsellers
,
somoned
a
parlement
,
and
ordained
new
lawes
,
expelled
th
officers
&
magistrats
out
of
the
toune
,
some
they
butcherlie
murdred
,
sent
their
statute

to

Cities

to

sedition
,
&
to
take
weapon
by
theyr
example
.
Herevpon
at
Mogunce
,
at
Rincauia
,
at
Colen
:
Herevppon
in
all
quarters
of
Germanie
suche
a
tumult
,
suche
an
insurrection
,
suche
an
vprore
is
sturred
vp
,
suche
a
terrible
and
traiterouse
rebellion
is
by
and
by
risen
,
as
neuer
the
traitor
Catiline
attempted
the
like
in
Rome
.
The
whole
world
is
sett
a
fire
with
the
heate
of
this
Gospel
.
manie
puissant
,
renoumed
and
notable
personnes
of
the
nobilitie
are
cruellie
murdred
,
emong
whome
the
honorable
Earle
of
Helfensteine
was
one
.
What
did
our
worthie
Col
Prophet
then
,
who
before
by
his
false
Prophecie
gaue
the
ouerthrow
and
vtter
destruction
to
the
Nobles
,
and
gaue
the
conqueste
and
victorie
to
his
souldiours
of
the
countree
?
It
is
likelie
,
that
here
the
second
Ieremi●
,
(
for
he
can
quicklie
beare
the
persone
of
whiche
Prophete
he
liste
)
sate
solitarie
,
weeping
and
lamenting
the
calamitie
and
miserable
case
of
his
countreie
.
Verilie
and
so
he
did
.
For
then
he
caste
awaye
for
verie
anguyshe
of
mynd
his
friers
cote
,
and
betakes
himself
to
his
nunne
Katherine
Boore
,
This
woman
,
after
she
had
ben
well
broken
&
framed
two
yeres
with
wa●ton
toyes
and
lecherouse
recreations
among
the
scholers
of
wittenberge
,
the
poore
seelie
sorie
man
taketh
in
his
armes
,
&
for
verie
heauinesse
&
griefe
embraceth
her
patientlie
,
&
kisseth
her
deuoutly
&
ful
often
with
al
his
hart
.
Yea
he
toke
it
no
scorne
to
daunce
and
drink
Carou●
and
refuse
not
,
though
he
was
a
Frier
to
marie
a
Nunne
,
which
was
a
strainge
matter
and
neuer
hard
of
before
,
and
all
for
verie
penance
&
sorow
to
see
so
great
murder
and
so
muche
bloudshed
:
where
of
himself
was
the
only
cause
&
Author
.
It
is
without
fayle
a
meritoryouse
deed
,
as
the
Cannons
saye
,
to
take
a
whoore
out
of
the
stewes
and
marie
her
to
make
her
an
honest
woman
:
and
he
toke
an
honest
woman
out
of
a
Nunrie
to
marie
her
&
make
her
a
whoore
.
So
in
doing
his
penance
he
missed
but
a
litle
,
being
ouerseen
in
taking
quid
ꝓ
quo
one
thing
for
an
other
.
And
withall
,
this
Apostolick
point
was
to
be
noted
in
this
Holie
Prophete
,
that
out
of
hand
,
as
the
wind
and
flattering
blast
of
fortune
turned
,
so
he
turned
his
saile
,
chainged
his
style
,
sung
an
other
song
,
and
wrote
bitterlie
againste
the
poore
vplandish
men
when
he
saw
them
ouercomme
,
See
,
I
pray
you
,
the
Euangelical
sprite
of
this
Apostle
,
how
dubble
it
is
,
how
experte
and
readie
in
false
fayning
and
dissimulation
.
All
this
he
wrote
to
make
the
world
beleue
,
that
he
was
none
of
that
pack
and
wicked
conspiracie
of
rebelles
:
wheras
in
deed
he
was
the
Author
and
Grand
captaine
that
did
set
them
on
,
and
clapte
his
handes
and
egged
them
forward
,
We
maye
thank
this
traiterouse
Catiline
of
our
time
,
for
all
these
blouddie
tragedies
.
By
suche
practizes
he
came
in
fa●●or
with
Solimam
the
great
Turke
,
in
whose
Bokes
he
was
highelie
esteemed
:
&
wel
worthie
so
to
be
.
For
by
occasion
of
debate
about
the
Lutheran
Gospell
,
and
so
through
Luthers
meanes
,
he
conceaued
Good
hope
to
ouerrunne
and
conquer
all
Germanie
,
Hist.
Synop.
ad
Sabell
.
when
he
came
to
that
Keye
of
Christendome
the
noble
Citie
Vienna
Austriae
,
with
suche
a
huge
great
host
,
that
he
made
all
Europe
quake
.
Yea
Soliman
wrote
in
plaine
wordes
that
he
wished
Luther
long
life
,
that
he
hoped
the
daie
should
come
,
that
Luther
should
find
him
his
good
master
.
And
in
verie
deed
at
that
time
the
terrible
and
mortall
enemie
of
Christendome
gaue
a
great
puyshe
,
&
missed
but
a
litle
to
subdue
al
Germanie
,
whiles
Christen
men
,
being
at
debate
betwen
them
selues
about
the
Gospell
,
I
can
not
without
great
greif
of
harte
remember
,
that
by
the
wicked
meanes
and
procurement
of
this
Gospeller
,
one
of
the
beste
Christen
Emperours
that
euer
ruled
Christendome
,
was
brought
in
trouble
and
great
danger
among
his
own
subiectes
.
Is
there
anie
man
aliue
,
y●
ene●
saw
,
or
can
anie
of
vs
all
call
to
remembrance
,
that
we
euer
hard
or
read
of
such
a
Noble
&
worthy
Prince
for
wit
,
vertue
▪
prowesse
,
experience
,
courage
,
and
for
al
other
Princely
graces
,
honorable
giftes
,
and
renoumed
actes
,
as
was
our
late
puissante
&
mightie
Emperoure
Charles
the
fifte
?
Ye●
this
Princelie
man
,
this
Lieutenant
general
,
Patrone
,
and
Defendor
of
all
Christendome
,
this
moste
renoumed
Emperour
was
assaulted
and
entrapped
by
this
pestilent
treason
and
Gospelissh
conspiracie
.
And
whereas
it
should
haue
becomme
Germanie
especiallie
to
obey
him
at
a
beck
:
certaine
Germans
mustered
,
made
a
great
hoste
&
all
the
power
they
could
againste
him
,
and
pursued
him
in
open
warre
(
whiche
they
call
Smalcald
Fielde
)
thoughe
,
I
could
here
tell
you
of
the
greate
Sedition
and
insurrection
in
Zuitzerland
whiche
was
sturred
vp
by
Zuinglius
,
I
could
declare
vnto
you
,
how
the
traiterouse
Gospellers
of
England
gathered
a
maine
hoste
againste
their
moste
vertuouse
ladie
Queene
Marie
the
rare
treasure
,
It
were
to
long
to
rehearse
,
how
the
noble
Queene
of
Scotland
that
now
●aigneth
,
was
driuen
a
great
while
to
liue
like
a
poore
priuat
woman
in
her
own
realme
,
to
obey
her
own
subiectes
,
&
todoe
no
more
then
they
gaue
her
leaue
:
yea
,
and
in
the
meane
tyme
was
euerie
daye
and
euery
houre
in
greate
perill
&
danger
of
her
life
among
them
.
I
need
not
tell
,
that
euery
man
knoweth
,
how
the
Gentell
men
that
were
seduced
by
thies
new
preachers
rebelled
againste
their
Prince
in
Sucuia
:
nor
how
the
Comons
made
an
vprore
againste
their
king
in
Denmarck
.
But
I
can
not
omit
,
to
speake
of
th●●
late
treason
and
cruell
conspiracie
of
the
Hugonoes
in
France
,
who
could
without
weeping
teares
abyde
to
tell
,
how
those
naughtie
,
false
&
wicked
subiectes
were
not
ashamed
,
to
stand
in
open
field
againste
their
own
natural
Soueraigne
in
his
own
realme
?
To
bid
war
and
fight
againste
theyr
lawfull
King
,
during
his
Nonage
,
to
make
a
league
and
confederacie
with
the
enemies
of
his
croune
,
to
sell
his
Cities
and
townes
to
forayners
&
straingers
for
mony
?
This
holie
bataille
(
for
the
Gospell
a
Gods
name
)
was
fought
againste
France
by
Frenchemen
themselues
:
that
is
,
first
by
Caluin
the
Dictator
and
General
of
the
field
,
then
by
Beza
the
Lieutenant
,
and
Othomannus
and
Spifamius
the
petie
Captaines
.
These
were
the
cheife
doers
in
deed
,
though
as
they
toke
the
coloure
of
Religion
&
pretense
of
refourmation
for
cloke
of
their
treason
,
so
they
vsed
the
names
&
seruice
of
certaine
of
the
nobilitie
of
France
whome
they
had
seduced
to
beare
out
the
brunte
of
the
Battaille
,
the
smarte
of
the
strokes
,
the
enuie
,
the
infamie
,
&
all
the
outward
face
and
po●●
of
that
busy
mater
.
These
were
the
●naues
that
lay
in
the
stocke
:
as
for
other
,
they
were
but
theyr
trumping
Cardes
.
The
preface
of
their
tragedie
was
verie
calme
and
peaceable
.
They
would
seeme
to
go
verie
orderlie
to
work
.
They
got
an
edict
to
be
made
forsooth
for
the
furtherance
of
theyr
Gospell
,
they
got
a
law
by
force
and
extorsion
against
the
king
and
Magistrats
wil
and
pleasure
.
We
can
not
,
we
wil
not
,
we
ought
not
.
But
afterward
they
were
compelled
to
let
the
bill
passe
,
&
the
Edicte
of
Ianuarie
to
be
made
,
that
these
rakchels
might
preach
without
the
walles
by
permission
,
and
as
it
were
by
vertue
of
a
law
:
whiche
law
to
all
honest
good
men
neuer
seemed
worthie
to
haue
the
name
of
a
law
,
as
the
whiche
was
obtained
by
force
,
was
laied
vppon
mens
neckes
by
the
might
and
violence
of
theeues
and
traitours
that
had
taken
&
bound
the
Common
weale
hand
&
foote
,
was
written
and
penned
againste
all
reason
and
equitie
.
But
yet
a
law
they
would
needes
haue
,
were
it
neuer
so
vnlawfull
,
to
be
a
cloke
to
couer
theyr
outragiouse
sedition
.
And
in
deed
at
the
firste
they
made
them selues
verie
humble
and
meeke
.
When
the
King
and
the
Honorables
of
France
were
assembled
about
weightie
&
greate
affaires
of
the
Realme
at
Poissie
,
thither
came
the
twelue
Apostles
of
that
deformed
Churche
,
of
whiche
number
eight
or
nyne
were
Apostates
,
Munkes
,
and
friers
that
had
caste
of
their
habites
,
broken
their
vowes
,
and
forsaken
theyr
profession
:
suche
smothe
marchantes
,
that
in
outward
talke
and
worde
,
in
the
presence
of
that
honorable
Audience
,
would
speake
of
nothing
,
but
of
peace
and
concord
,
of
good
faith
and
simple
dealing
:
whereas
in
deed
they
meante
,
they
minded
,
they
wrought
nothing
els
,
but
wicked
conspiracie
and
treason
,
but
sacking
of
●●urches
,
burning
of
cities
,
murdring
of
Citisens
,
and
the
vtter
ruine
and
destruction
of
that
Realme
.
Yet
that
they
were
so
earnest
to
haue
a
law
for
theyr
syde
,
and
by
publike
authoritie
to
be
suffred
to
preache
after
their
cursed
fashion
,
their
intent
and
purpose
therein
was
this
:
that
vnder
pretense
of
a
law
they
might
vndoe
the
realme
,
and
turne
the
King
out
of
his
kingdom
,
as
they
did
before
vnder
colour
of
the
word
of
God
,
expell
the
Bisshops
wellnighe
out
of
the
Churche
.
Wold
you
haue
a
law
,
that
refuse
to
liue
vnder
a
law
?
Who
is
so
blind
that
can
not
plainlie
see
,
that
your
crafte
&
practize
is
,
to
driue
out
(
as
it
were
)
one
naile
with
an
other
:
whiles
vnder
the
shadow
of
Religion
and
law
,
ye
labor
what
ye
can
,
to
bannishe
all
law
&
Religion
out
of
the
world
,
to
ouerthrow
the
Churche
,
to
roote
all
ciuill
order
and
policie
of
temporall
affaires
out
of
all
Christen
Realmes
,
countreis
and
Cities
?
But
I
pray
you
,
When
ye
trauayled
vnder
a
pretensed
shew
of
Gods
worde
to
dissanull
and
abolishe
the
Supremacie
of
the
chiefe
Bisshop
of
the
Christians
,
who
according
to
the
commission
and
charge
geuen
vnto
him
by
Christes
owne
mouth
,
vsed
euer
to
feed
&
rule
bothe
the
sheep
and
lambes
of
Gods
flocke
:
then
were
these
wordes
euer
in
your
monthes
,
Honour
the
king
,
obey
the
king
as
the
highest
:
warne
them
to
hearken
and
obey
Princes
and
Rulers
.
But
when
ye
conspired
and
agreed
together
at
Geneua
like
villaines
&
traitours
,
to
find
priuie
meanes
,
when
time
,
place
,
and
occasion
might
serue
you
,
to
rid
out
of
the
waie
and
murder
the
late
vertuouse
and
good
king
of
France
Frauncis
the
second
,
the
Queene
his
wife
(
who
now
,
God
be
thanked
,
hath
gotten
the
vpper
hand
ouer
the
rebelles
and
raigneth
in
Scotland
)
the
Quene
Mother
,
her
children
,
all
the
nobles
,
and
all
the
Catholike
and
good
Officers
of
Fraunce
:
where
was
then
your
scripture
and
that
accustomed
sentence
of
yours
,
Honoure
the
Kinge
?
Out
of
all
doubt
you
meane
nothinge
els
by
these
wordes
,
but
to
thruste
your
sword
through
the
Bisshoppes
body
in
to
the
Kinges
harte
.
It
was
your
Polycie
first
to
vanquish
the
Bishop
by
the
worde
,
that
ye
might
the
more
easely
afterward
kill
the
King
with
the
sword
.
But
here
perhappes
some
one
will
aske
,
howe
I
knowe
all
this
?
To
him
I
make
this
answer
,
The
subiettes
were
not
afrayed
to
write
to
theyr
King
,
that
he
could
not
raign
ouer
them
,
that
they
would
suffer
his
yoke
and
obey
his
commaundement
no
longer
,
excepte
he
would
be
contented
to
rule
his
realme
in
such
sort
,
and
by
such
lawes
and
ordinances
,
as
they
should
appointe
him
.
That
they
plaied
the
very
fooles
,
when
by
his
commaundemente
they
layed
doune
theyr
weapons
:
that
they
woulde
surely
take
them
in
hand
againe
,
excepte
he
woulde
looke
well
to
hym selfe
,
and
putte
out
of
the
Councell
of
Paris
certaine
noble
and
Honorable
men
,
who
as
they
sayed
,
were
theeues
Rouers
,
Butchers
:
and
place
in
theyr
romes
certaine
of
theyr
brethren
in
Christe
.
What
coulde
be
spoken
or
inuented
more
Proudelye
,
more
Impudentely
,
more
seditiouslie
,
and
malitiously
,
then
that
they
vttered
in
this
malaperte
,
stubborne
,
and
traiterouse
Libell
?
The
Printer
of
Orleans
was
kepte
and
feasted
a
fewe
dayes
with
the
Officers
of
that
Toune
in
theyr
houses
,
in
steede
of
a
Prison
,
for
printinge
this
Oration
:
and
that
was
al
that
was
done
to
him
then
for
it
.
With
the
lyke
Sprite
one
Goodman
an
Englisshe
man
,
He
saied
it
was
neither
law
,
nor
right
,
nor
reason
,
that
any
woman
should
be
a
Ruler
and
syt
in
the
Princelie
Seate
of
any
Common
Weale
:
that
it
might
well
seeme
a
monstruouse
rule
,
and
contrarye
to
nature
,
if
men
were
compelled
to
obey
a
woman
:
if
women
were
suffred
to
beare
the
sway
and
gouerne
the
publike
estate
of
any
kingdome
.
If
he
wrote
thus
especially
for
hatred
and
malice
he
bare
againste
women
,
he
swarued
much
from
the
common
and
accustomed
manner
and
fasshion
of
his
fellowes
,
who
doe
atribute
so
much
to
women
,
and
are
of
suche
a
fonde
and
filthie
opinion
,
that
they
thinke
it
impossible
for
a
man
to
liue
one
daye
without
the
companie
of
a
woman
.
Howbeit
in
deed
they
be
naughtie
and
lewde
women
,
fit
and
ready
to
the
game
only
,
that
these
fellowes
loue
so
much
:
but
as
for
good
women
(
emong
whome
this
vertuouse
Queene
might
be
wel
Quene
&
Princesse
in
dede
)
they
can
not
abide
,
but
doe
vtterly
detest
them
,
and
hate
them
as
muche
as
they
hate
all
good
men
.
Out
of
doubt
in
one
thing
this
Gospeller
obserued
iumpe
the
wonted
practise
and
beaten
path
of
his
companions
:
that
vnder
pretense
of
speaking
againste
women
he
endeuored
to
sturre
the
people
to
rebellion
,
and
the
subiectes
to
shrinke
awaye
and
forsake
theyr
liege
and
lawful
Soueraigne
.
And
thys
is
euen
the
very
daily
and
common
custome
of
all
the
packe
of
such
new
Gospellers
&
Refourmers
,
who
caste
theyr
platte
and
are
fully
set
,
be
it
right
or
wrong
,
by
foraine
battayle
abrode
,
or
by
rebellion
at
home
,
to
trouble
and
disquiete
the
peaceable
state
&
good
order
of
al
common
weales
,
when
it
serueth
their
turne
they
are
so
skilful
,
that
they
can
put
in
vre
both
these
mysteries
of
their
Gospell
at
ones
.
When
the
Emperour
of
worthie
memorie
Charles
the
fifte
was
entangled
and
troubled
at
Oeniponte
with
theyr
tumulte
and
rebellinge
,
Soliman
the
Greate
Turke
was
in
the
meane
tyme
requested
in
theyr
behalfe
to
make
war
,
for
the
furtherance
and
Defense
of
theyr
fifte
Gospell
.
It
were
an
infinite
matter
(
gentell
Audience
)
that
might
be
here
alleged
,
if
I
would
reckon
vp
all
these
Gospellers
traiterouse
enterprises
,
and
make
full
discours
of
euery
particular
parte
of
these
haynouse
Conspiracies
.
For
in
deede
they
haue
lefte
nothinge
vndone
that
anie
cruell
Robbers
,
false
Traitours
,
or
wicked
Heretikes
,
could
euer
committe
,
attempte
or
deuise
,
againste
all
good
men
,
against
Princes
,
against
God
allmightie
himselfe
.
They
haue
iniured
and
traiterously
offended
the
Royall
maiestie
of
all
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
Christendome
,
they
haue
disturbed
,
impaired
,
and
broken
all
polityke
order
and
rule
of
all
Common
Weales
.
They
haue
disquieted
,
vexed
and
disordered
the
high
Courte
of
the
Imperiall
Chamber
,
they
haue
abolished
the
auncient
lawes
and
customes
of
the
Emperours
Supreme
Consistorye
,
and
haue
appointed
newe
of
theyr
owne
makinge
,
so
that
Iustice
and
Ryghte
is
bannisshed
from
thence
:
in
suche
sorte
that
there
remayneth
scarse
anye
Signe
or
token
of
Lawe
and
Equytie
in
that
renounted
place
,
de
Haero
,
lib.
2.
and
Imperall
benche
.
for
it
ys
theyr
pleasure
that
all
thinges
be
tried
&
decided
by
fyere
and
and
sworde
.
Yea
and
what
say
ye
by
this
,
that
many
bookes
and
Lybells
of
theyrs
haue
bene
commonly
found
and
seen
abroade
,
wherein
they
vttered
theyr
studie
&
declared
theyr
attempt
&
trauaile
to
alter
and
chainge
al
the
order
of
iustice
&
iudgementes
of
the
Empire
,
to
take
awaye
and
abrogate
all
the
Ciuill
Lawes
,
and
to
make
a
new
Policie
and
Order
of
gouernement
of
theyr
owne
phantastical
deuise
.
And
it
was
not
inough
in
theyr
opinion
,
nor
sufficient
for
the
absolute
perfection
of
theyr
Gospell
to
betraie
euerie
particular
Ruler
,
and
to
worke
treson
against
euery
king
in
his
owne
Realme
:
to
fil
vp
the
measure
of
theyr
malice
&
wickednes
they
became
Traitors
against
the
Pope
,
the
Emperour
,
the
Bisshops
al
at
ones
,
and
fynallie
without
any
respecte
dydde
violate
and
set
at
nought
the
Magestie
and
estate
of
all
Spirituall
and
Temporall
Rulers
assembled
together
in
the
laste
Generall
Councell
at
Trent
.
They
were
not
ashamed
to
raile
at
that
moste
highe
and
honorable
assemble
of
Christendome
(
the
only
name
whereof
should
haue
made
them
tremble
,
whose
only
becke
all
Christen
men
,
euer
sythens
Christen
Religion
begonne
,
reuerenced
and
followed
)
at
Christes
higheste
Vycar
in
earthe
,
at
all
the
Reuerend
Fathers
,
the
Bisshops
and
men
of
God
,
at
al
the
moste
high
&
excellent
Christen
Princes
(
emong
whome
were
the
renoumed
Emperours
,
first
Charles
the
fifth
,
then
Ferdinande
)
and
at
a
word
to
call
them
all
theeues
.
At
what
time
the
Princes
and
temporall
Rulers
did
set
their
heads
together
to
appeare
and
set
at
concord
the
state
of
Christendome
,
and
the
Bishops
did
purpose
and
study
earnestly
to
expound
and
declare
the
Articles
of
Religion
that
were
in
controuersy
,
when
that
most
holy
and
high
Parlement
of
al
Christendom
was
called
&
assembled
together
in
one
place
:
these
new
Gospellish
Refourmers
were
warned
and
warranted
vnder
Publike
assurance
,
to
come
thither
,
to
tell
their
mindes
,
and
then
to
departe
safely
without
any
harme
or
daunger
.
The
general
letters
Patentes
,
the
sufficient
and
lawfull
safeconduct
of
the
Pope
and
the
generall
Councel
were
Wrytten
,
Prynted
,
and
Proclaimed
for
their
behalfe
herein
.
No
man
appeareth
,
not
one
of
them
maketh
any
word
or
mention
of
Refourmation
there
:
the
matter
touching
the
Refourmation
of
the
Churche
is
disputed
in
the
meane
time
,
and
debated
amonge
them
in
the
campe
,
in
the
field
,
in
battaile
in
Fraunce
by
force
&
might
,
by
swordes
&
daggers
,
by
gonnes
and
dubble
Cannons
.
And
as
for
the
Generall
Councell
,
which
was
of
purpose
called
to
redresse
and
refourme
all
that
was
amisse
,
where
the
lawfull
place
,
authority
,
and
meanes
of
Refourmation
was
to
be
found
,
they
passed
not
for
it
:
they
were
called
,
and
refused
to
come
at
it
.
They
despised
and
contemned
,
they
resisted
and
assaulted
,
they
mocked
and
reuiled
with
moste
impudent
scolding
and
railing
that
Generall
benche
and
Court
of
all
the
Churche
of
Christe
,
that
worthiest
and
highest
Consistory
of
Christendome
.
And
the
more
to
shewe
their
spite
and
desperate
malice
,
Montanus
the
Germaine
,
Molinaeus
the
Frenche
man
,
and
many
other
accompted
no
small
fooles
amonge
them
,
haue
set
forthe
openlye
in
Printe
in
the
name
of
all
these
Gospellers
their
cankred
,
malitious
,
wicked
,
and
diuelishe
defiance
.
Whome
shall
we
accompte
for
frantike
,
madde
,
and
furious
men
,
but
suche
as
are
so
farre
beside
them selues
,
so
enraged
,
so
Bedlemlike
,
that
they
knowe
not
men
,
they
know
no
Law
,
no
Magistrate
,
no
common
Weale
,
no
Church
,
no
Religion
,
no
God
?
Ye
haue
hard
(
right
learned
audience
)
how
these
desperat
and
outragious
castawaies
and
Rebels
had
no
Authority
at
all
to
bid
battaile
,
but
conspired
together
like
Theues
,
Cutthrotes
and
Traitors
:
may
it
please
you
now
to
be
aduertised
of
that
,
which
is
by
order
the
third
and
last
part
of
my
talke
,
that
is
,
howe
little
furtherance
,
frute
,
or
profit
touching
Refourmation
,
as
they
call
it
,
they
gotte
by
fighting
,
howe
great
and
hurtfull
losse
,
iniury
,
and
damage
they
did
therby
to
all
the
whole
world
,
howe
fearcely
,
cruelly
,
and
Tyrannically
they
vsed
themselues
in
handling
their
bloudy
weapons
.
And
in
this
poynt
I
assure
you
in
good
Faith
I
wot
not
what
I
may
,
nor
what
I
may
not
faye
,
nor
where
to
begin
,
so
many
and
so
manifold
losses
&
harmes
Christendome
hath
had
euery
waye
,
and
on
euery
side
,
by
the
occasion
of
this
wicked
and
cruell
dissension
whiche
began
first
wel
nigh
fifty
yeares
agoe
in
Saxonie
about
certaine
Articles
and
questions
concerning
Religion
:
but
sithens
the
time
it
hath
bene
maruelously
spred
abrode
and
enlarged
,
and
is
now
come
to
this
lamentable
case
,
and
tragicall
state
as
ye
see
.
It
grieueth
the
very
bottome
of
my
harte
to
call
to
remembraunce
howe
vnluckely
,
how
miserably
the
worlde
hath
gone
with
vs
,
how
pitifully
the
estate
of
Christendome
hath
fallen
to
wracke
,
sythens
the
first
beginning
of
these
dismold
and
deadly
discordes
and
battailes
set
a
broche
and
stirred
at
the
first
vnder
pretense
and
coloure
of
Religion
.
I
can
scarse
abstaine
from
wepinge
teares
,
when
I
remember
and
consider
so
ruefull
,
heauy
,
and
lamentable
a
case
.
And
as
for
the
blowes
,
the
woundes
,
the
smart
,
these
Butchers
bestowed
on
mens
bodies
:
or
the
continuaunce
of
time
may
ease
them
,
or
the
diligence
of
cunning
men
may
heale
them
,
or
the
charitable
patience
of
Christian
hartes
may
forget
them
.
But
that
they
haue
banished
the
Christian
Faith
and
Religion
out
of
so
manye
Realmes
,
that
they
haue
with
deceit
and
craft
,
with
fire
and
Sword
,
beaten
and
driuen
away
all
Iustice
,
Chastity
,
Deuocion
,
all
good
learning
&
good
nurture
,
all
feare
of
God
almighty
,
all
goodnesse
and
godlinesse
from
the
hartes
&
mindes
of
so
many
thousandes
Christen
men
,
that
they
haue
rooted
vp
the
Religion
of
Christ
,
and
planted
in
the
steede
thereof
,
the
Turkish
Sect
of
Machomet
,
the
superstitious
doctrine
of
the
Iewes
,
or
rather
the
Heathennish
&
vnsensible
blindnesse
of
those
that
beleue
in
no
God
at
all
,
in
many
countreis
that
were
sometimes
the
moste
florishing
and
noblest
quarters
of
Christendome
:
these
Isay
,
these
vntollerable
hurtes
and
dammages
are
suche
,
as
neither
may
be
amended
easely
,
nor
restored
quickly
,
nor
euer
be
abolished
&
put
out
of
mennes
remembrance
hereafter
.
They
haue
brought
vs
in
stede
of
Religion
innumerable
errors
and
dreames
,
accursed
Sectes
of
old
doting
heretiks
,
and
monstruous
phansies
of
wicked
and
diuelish
braines
:
their
chiefe
purpose
and
intent
was
quite
to
ouerthrow
the
Ecclesiasticall
order
of
the
Spiritualty
,
and
to
bring
the
temporall
estate
of
the
Empire
and
royall
power
of
Princes
to
ruine
&
decay
.
in
oratio
ne
fune
.
in
exequiis
Lu.
They
were
not
ashamed
most
impudently
to
say
it
.
They
were
not
afraid
most
desperatly
to
attempt
it
.
What
was
he
that
was
wont
whiles
he
was
yet
aliue
to
rehearse
this
verse
,
and
to
saye
it
should
be
the
Epitaph
of
his
graue
?
Thy
foe
,
O
Pope
,
I
was
aliue
,
My
Death
thy
Death
shall
eke
contriue
.
Who
was
so
impudent
to
wryte
to
the
king
of
England
and
say
:
whiles
I
lyue
I
wil
be
the
Popes
enemy
,
and
when
I
die
,
I
wil
be
his
dubble
enemy
.
Do

Hoggishe

ye

finde
Luther

Beare

,
And
touching
their
doinges
,
who
is
able
to
expresse
in
wordes
,
what
cost
and
charges
,
what
paines
and
trauayles
,
what
anguish
and
care
of
minde
the
noble
Emperour
Charles
the
fift
was
put
vnto
,
by
the
occasion
of
these
Pestilent
Sectes
and
outragious
seditions
?
How
many
Cities
?
How
many
Fortresses
and
Casteis
?
How
many
Abbeis
?
How
many
Hospitals
for
poore
people
?
How
many
common
Scholes
and
Colleges
?
How
manye
honorable
Palaices
and
Gentlemens
houses
?
Howe
many
Religiouse
places
and
Cloisters
hathe
this
Gospellishe
Rebellion
quite
ouertourned
and
sacked
?
These
mennes
Religion
is
altogether
Negatiue
and
denying
:
they
denye
in
word
all
thinges
that
appertain
to
Christian
religion
,
to
the
furtherance
of
godlinesse
and
vertue
.
It
is
allso
destructiue
,
and
euer
destroying
:
their
deedes
are
alwayes
employed
in
castynge
downe
and
ouerthrowing
.
They
builde
nothing
,
they
affirme

the
denying
and
marring
of
our
Religion
,
is
the
foundation
and
making
of
their
Sects
.
The
sacking
and
pulling
downe
of
our
Churches
,
is
the
building
and
setting
vp
of
their
Synagoges
.
They
haue
their
purpose
,
if
they
deny
all
and
pul
downe
all
though
they
build
nothing
,
though
they
affirme
nothing
in
place
thereof
.
Their
Religion
wer
made
though
they
taught
nothing
,
if
all
Christian
Faith
were
banished
.
Their
Temples
were
ready
builded

if
all

The
mortal
enemy
of
al
Christen
men
the
Turke
,
by
furtherance
&
help
of
these
tumults
,
hath
gotten
Hungary
,
no
smal
portion
of
Christendome
:
hath
killed
the
king
there
&
many
a
thousand
of
his
men
with
him

I
passe

with
silence
Alba
Regia
,
and
that
noble
Isle
of
Rhodes
,
which
wer
lost
also
by
the
same
occasion
:
yea
and
now
we
might
haue
sure
hope
to
recouer
the
Rhodes
,
Hungary
,
I
may
say
Constantinople
,
&
wel
nigh
al
Grece
again
,
to
the
Christian
Empire
,
if
the
mater
might
be
valiantly
pursued
after
the
great
fal
&
foil
our
enimy
had
of
late
at
Malta
:
but
the
rebellion

sedition
of

heretical
sectes
doth
let
vs
from
this
so
Noble
a
victory

and
doth
as
it
were
depriue
Christendome
once
agayne
of

I
may
boldlie
saie
it
,
that

1524.
A
preacher
in
master
Iewels
diocesse
sayed
it
openlie
at
a
visitation
,
when
he
could
not
answer
being
asked
what
case
was
Decenter
.
that
they
haue
but
a
Reader
or
two
,
and
fewer
●cholers
to
heare
,
then
were
wont
to
be
in
a
Grammar
schole
of
the
co●ntreie
,
before
this
new
Gospell
was
set
ab●oche
,
and
this
grosse
maner
of
Refourmation
with
bowes
,
billes
,
&
gunnes
attempted
:
&
yet
these
impudent
strialls
are
nothing
a
shamed
thereof
.
It
is
theyr
doinge
,
it
was
theyr
meaning
:
they
graunt
it
,
they
reioyce
at
it
,
theyr
ful
purpose
&
intent
is
to
bannish
al
good
learning
and
knowledge
.
Yea
they
haue
set
theyr
heddes
together
and
fully
agreed
among
themselues
,
to
bannish
the
Greeke
&
Latine
tong
quite
&
cleane
out
of
the
countreie
.
And
some
of
them
accompted
earnest
setters
out
of
the
Gospell
and
taken
among
them
for
most
eloquent
preachers
,
affirmed
,
that
they
were
verie
gladde
,
and
thanked
God
highelie
,
that
they
had
neuer
learned
that
Romishe
and
Papistical
Latin
tong
,
as
they
called
it
:
other
,
after
they
had
done
the
best
they
could
to
pull
vp
all
good
learning
by
the
roote
,
and
hadde
euerie
where
robbed
,
disturbed
,
and
distroyed
the
Scholes
,
Pedagogies
and
Vniuersities
,
to
excuse
the
whole
matter
,
they
bore
men
in
hand
,
that
they
hadde
comprised
and
framed
the
whole
corps
and
Treasure
of
al
good
learning
and
knowledge
within
the
compasse
of
theyr
owne
mother
tong
.
They
toke
vppon
them
to
bring
to
passe
,
that
now
a
yong
Scholer
of
fifteen
yeares
of
age
might
easylie
in
three
yeares
space
learne
more
,
Luther
caused
the
Cannon
law
to
be
burned
openlie
in
Wittenberge
.
Carolostadius

Archedeacon
of

,
and
the
very
firste

in

that

,
to

In
deed
Luther
was
not
there
then
present
,
he
was
in
his
Pathmos
solitarie
making
his
fifte
Gospell
,
or
his
second
&
new
Reuelatio●s
:
&
when
he
came
home
,
he
was
verie
muche
offended
with
the
Archedeacon
for
it
,
and
saied
that
by
suche
meanes
the
Papistes
onelie
would
be
learned
,
and
Protestants
should
haue
no
knowledge
nor
learninge
,
to

.
Would

satisfied
with

,
had
staied

At
Orleans
a
good
old
man
,
called
Guiset
,
parson
of
S.
Paterns
Churche
there
,
and
an
Abbote
also
,
one
that
was
somtime
of
the
Frenche
Kings
councel
,
two
Notable
pillers
and
shining
bright
An other
old
Religiouse
man
night
foure
score
yeares
of
age
of
the
Abbey
of
S.
Euuerte
there
,
when
he
had
escaped
out
of
Orleans
,
and
gotten
a
mile
or
two
from
the
Citie
,
was
taken
by
the
souldiours
of
the
Gospell
in
a
certaine
Village
called
Mareau
,
where
he
had
receaued
his
maker
that
morning
preparing
himself
to
die
,
&
out
of
hand
they
strip
him
starke
naked
,
and
caste
a
rope
with
a
riding
knot
about
his
necke
,
and
so
pulled
him
&
drew
him
a
long
the
streate
.
When
they
saw
he
was
now
at
deaths
doore
,
&
geuing
ouer
struggling
gasped
for
breath
they
toke
awaye
death
from
him
leaste
it
should
ease
him
to
sone
of
his
paine
,
they
vntied
and
loosed
the
corde
,
they
toke
his
feble
and
now
wel
nighe
dead
carcasse
,
bownd
hit
to
a
tree
,
and
made
hi●
theyr
marke
to
shoote
at
with
theyr
harquebuzes
and
gunnes
,
for
exercise
sake
and
practice
of
theyr
feates
of
warre
.
An other
bealy
they
opened
,
&
wounde
out
his
guttes
about
a
staffe
softe
and
faire
,
he
being
yet
aliue
and
looking
on
his
own
entrayles
.
They
came
to
an
other
good
parson
of
a
Village
in
the
countree
who
laye
sore
sick
in
his
bedde
,
so
worne
&
spente
with
sicknes
,
that
for
very
weaknes
he
was
not
able
to
stand
on
his
fete
.
They
plucke
him
out
of
his
bedde
by
force
,
they
hale
him
in
his
sherte
bare
headed
,
barefoote
and
barelegd
out
into
the
streate
.
&
after
they
had
sported
and
mocked
like
mad
men
about
him
a
while
,
they
pull
him
in
to
the
Churche
that
was
there
hard
by
,
they
hoyse
him
with
a
rope
vp
to
the
roode
that
stode
a
highe
ouer
the
quiere
doore
,
and
there
hanged
him
vp
vppon
the
crucifix
.
I
haue
yet
fressh
in
my
remembrance
,
yea
my
thinke
I
see
yet
now
before
my
eies
the
teares
of
certaine
honest
men
in
Orleans
,
who
for
weeping
&
snobbing
could
scante
abide
to
tell
me
,
how
miserably
how
cruellie
,
how
vnmercifully
a
certaine
vertuouse
man
a
Priest
,
withe
whome
they
had
been
familiar●
and
acquainted
in
his
life
time
)
was
handeled
&
murdred
by
these
cruel
butchers
.
The
poore
honest
man
(
as
they
told
me
)
got
on
a
beggers
cloke
,
and
a
scripp
full
of
crustes
of
old
vinowed
bread
,
&
scraps
of
meate
such
as
beggars
haue
,
&
being
so
disguysed
had
escaped
,
as
he
thought
,
out
of
all
gunneshot
and
danger
,
when
behold
,
sodenlie
Caluines
souldiours
ouertake
him
on
the
waye
being
now
weerie
and
nighe
out
of
breath
.
And
,
as
these
kind
of
people
are
verie
suspiciouse
,
wel
practized
and
experte
in
al
mischiefe
,
they
aske
and
examine
him
verie
diligentlie
,
what
he
was
,
and
whence
he
came
.
When
by
long
examination
and
muche
threatning
they
vnderstood
at
length
that
he
was
a
Prieste
,
they
brought
the
innocent
poore
man
bound
like
a
theef
into
the
next
Village
,
and
there
in
the
open
market
they
make
an
auction
and
sale
of
him
,
as
if
he
had
bene
a
bondman
,
and
aske
,
if
anie
man
would
geue
readie
mony
for
him
.
The
inhabitants
there
flocked
together
&
were
maruelouslie
amased
&
astonied
at
so
strange
a
case
,
they
beginne
to
intreate
for
him
,
they
praye
them
,
and
holding
vp
theyr
handes
to
heauen
they
beseeche
them
hartelye
,
that
they
would
dimisse
&
let
goe
the
innocent
&
harmelesse
man
,
and
doe
him
no
more
harme
:
that
they
would
consider
,
that
he
was
a
Christian
man
,
the
image
of
God
and
anoynted
priest
.
But
it
had
been
as
good
they
had
told
a
tale
to
a
tubbe
,
or
whispered
in
a
deaf
mans
eare
.
For
all
Heretikes
haue
stonie
hartes
,
they
can
not
be
mollified
.
It
is
the
nature
and
propertie
of
men
,
and
not
of
diuelles
,
to
be
moued
with
mercie
and
pitie
towardes
suche
,
as
are
in
miserie
.
To
be
shorte
,
first
they
pull
out
both
his
eies
,
then
they
cut
of
the
toppes
of
his
fingers
whiche
had
been
sometimes
anoynted
with
holie
oyle
,
and
flea
with
a
knife
the
skynne
of
the
crowne
of
his
head
whiche
was
shauen
(
according
to
the
ancient
Custome
&
Cannons
)
Priestlike
.
After
they
had
thus
mangled
hym
,
to
the
end
the
cruell
butchers
of
the
Gospell
might
haue
some
more
pastime
in
mockinge
and
laughing
at
him
,
they
leade
him
along
the
streat
stark
naked
,
sauing
that
he
had
a
poore
shurte
on
,
to
couer
his
black
,
blew
and
blouddie
bodie
,
and
disioynted
bones
that
were
brused
and
wel
nigh
all
crusshed
with
buffets
blowes
and
wondes
.
At
last
when
euerie
man
had
his
fyll
of
this
vnmercifull
,
cruell
,
and
raging
mad
pastine
,
they
binde
the
constant
Martyr
of
Christe
,
with
a
rope
vpright
againste
a
tree
,
and
with
theyr
gunnes
shot
at
him
so
often
,
that
they
perced
all
his
bodye
throughe
full
of
holes
.
O
God
immortall
,
that
thou
seest
these
so
wonderfull
and
strainge
villauies
,
so
horrible
and
incredible
cruel●ies
,
and
doest
not
out
of
hand
strike
down
&
consume
awaye
Suche
mo●struouse
men
with
fire
and
lightening
from
heauen
,
or
cause
the
earth
to
open
and
sodenlie
swalowe
them
aliue
down
headlong
into
the
bottomelesse
pit
of
hel
?
O
lord
God
most
mightie
and
omnipotent
King
and
Emperour
of
al
heauen
and
earth
,
suffrest
thou
thy
seruants
to
be
thus
dismembred
,
hewed
,
and
mangled
?
But
what
talke

wretched

after

O

it
stood
so
with
thy
heauenly

&
pleasure
,
that
the
might
and
power
of

the
Christians
,
shoulde

that

The
onely
euerlasting
,
and
immortal
sonne
of
God
our
Captaine
lord
and
Emperour
Iesus
Christ
taught
vs
firste
of
all
by
his
own
example
and
Passion
to
treade
this
path
,
Sithens
the
first
houre
that
the
crosse
was
halowed
,
adourned
,
and
●erked
with
his
sacred
&
blessed
bodie
as
with
a
most
pretiouse
and
celestiall
Margarite
.
His
diuine
prouidence
made
the
Crosse
&
all
affliction
in
this
world
light
and
easie
to
true
Christian
men
,
his
example
and
imitiation
hath
made
al
tribulation
and
aduersitie
pleasante
and
sweete
.
This
was
the
cheife
reward
that
our
Master
Christe
gaue
in
this
world
to
his
deare
disciples
,
the
noble
Princes
and
worthy
Prelates
of
his
Church
,
to
al
the
most
vertuouse
,
holy
and
good
men
in
al
ages
,
that
they
should
take
pleasure
&
be
glad
,
that
they
were
accompted
worthie
to
suffer
reproche
&
iniuries
for
his
names
sake
,
that
they
shoulde
willinglye
and
gladlie
take
vp
theyr
Crosse
on
theyr
shoulders
and
follow
him
theyr
master
&
guyde
that
lead
them
the
waye
.
It
is
not
therefore
,
O
happie
soules
,
it
is
not
shame
for
you
,
to
suffer
that
Christe
suffred
:
nor
glorie
for
these
bloudie
trayters
,
O
ye
cruell
Tyrans
,
Gospelspillers
,
and
Messengers
of
all
naughtie
and
wicked
tydinges
,
goe
on
and
fill
vp
the
measure
of
your
cruelty
,
and
impietie
.
Ye
labor
in
vaine
against
the
seruantes
of
God
.
they
are
yet
aliue
,
whome
ye
haue
slaien
.
They
had
the
vpper
hande
ouer
you
,
whom
you
thought
ye
had
ouerthrowen
,
oppressed
and
vanquyshed
.
They
raigne
and
rule
,
whome
you
contemned
,
despised
,
and
trod
vnder
your
fe●te
.
The
pitie
&
compassion
of
this
cruell
acte
hath
lead
me
further
then
I
thought
,
out
of
my
waye
.
But
whyther
was
I
minded
to
trauaile
being
alreadie
weary
?
I
labor
in
vaine
if
I
trauaile
to
recken
vp
all
the
vilanouse
deedes
,
the
wonderful
murders
,
the
cruel
tiranny
of
these
naughty
villaines
.
The
rehersall
of
all
the
Tyrannicall
and
barbarous
actes
of
theese
new
Refourmers
in
this
last
sedition
in
France
,
were
able
to
make
a
good
Orator
weary
,
yea
to
driue
out
of
breath
Fabius
himselfe
,
were
he
neuer
so
well
disposed
to
talke
.
And
I
perceiue
(
right
worshipful
and
learned
,
)
that
it
goeth
against
your
stomakes
to
heare
these
horrible
doinges
,
and
in
very
deede
it
goeth
against
my
hart
also
to
speake
such
thinges
as
the
Gospellers
and
Protestantes
of
our
daies
do
put
in
practise
gladly
,
&
with
all
their
heartes
.
They
thirst
after
bloud
,
and
can
neuer
haue
their
fill
of
it
,
nor
quench
their
thirst
with
it
.
They
would
faine
that
all
good
men
were
rid
out
of
the
way
and
deade
.
nor
they
thinke
it
sufficient
to
haue
them
all
dead
:
they
wold
wish
they
died
a
hundred
times
,
if
it
were
possible
for
a
deade
man
to
reuiue
and
liue
againe
a
hundred
times
.
They
inuent
and
deuise
incredible
fashions
and
meanes
of
cruelty
,
suche
as
neuer
man
hard
of
before
,
they
are
very
witty
and
expert
in
imagining
newe
kindes
of
tormentes
.
There
was
betwene
Paris
and
Orleaus
an
honest
man
a
Curate
of
a
certaine
village
:
this
man
the
Hugono●es
(
as
they
call
them
)
drew
in
by
force
&
might
against
his
will
into
their
Inne
,
where
they
lodged
.
When
they
had
him
there
,
the
most
wicked
butchers
first
cut
of
his
priuie
membrers
,
then
they
open
his
bely
,
he
being
yet
then
aliue
and
loking
on
,
and
with
their
bloudy
hands
pull
out
his
guttes
and
all
his
bowels
,
and
caste
his
entrailes
about
all
the
house
.
If
any
man
suspect
that
I
faine
,
and
imagine
of
my
owne
head
this
wonderful
cruel
deede
,
and
lie
vpon
them
:
I
am
able
to
bring
for
witnesse
of
this
butchery
that
I
tell
you
,
a
substantiall
man
both
honest
&
worshipfull
,
one
of
the
Prebendaries
of
the
goodlye
Cathedrall
Churche
of
S.
Crosse
in
Orleans
.
This
man
,
(
whome
I
woulde
here
name
to
his
worshippe
,
if
I
coulde
call
his
name
to
my
remembraunce
)
all
the
while
this
vile
and
cruell
murder
was
a
doing
,
laye
hid
in
that
house
shut
vp
in
a
cheast
or
benche
,
and
so
eskaped
these
Tyrannes
cruel
handes
,
&
saw
this
sorowfull
&
lamentable
sight
through
the
chinks
of
the
benche
wherein
he
laie
.
But
what
neede
I
bringe
any
witnesse
for
the
profe
of
such
things
as
are
notoriouse
and
manifeste
,
as
being
committed
in
the
presence
and
sight
of
al
the
country
?
Our
aduersaries
are
not
ashamed
to
confesse
it
them selues
,
they
rubbe
theyr
forheaddes
,
caste
awaie
all
shame
and
honestie
,
and
blusshe
not
a
whit
to
graunt
that
they
haue
done
such
things
in
deede
,
yea
they
laugh
,
and
ieste
,
&
make
a
mocking
game
of
it
,
&
do
reioyce
&
triumph
in
theyr
wicked
crueltie
.
And
some
of
them
at
theyr
death
(
and
God
wil
)
do
comforte
them selues
especially
with
such
deedes
of
mercie
and
workes
of
charitie
.
There
was
one
of
these
Butchers
at
Paris
the
laste
yeare
condemned
to
be
hanged
for
murder
in
the
market
place
called
Place
Maubert
,
and
when
the
halter
was
about
his
neck
,
he
beganne
to
reioyce
in
good
earneste
,
and
to
brag
that
sometymes
he
had
worne
about
his
neck
a
coler
made
of
priests
eares
.
and
wisshed
that
other
of
his
brethren
in
the
Lorde
would
followe
that
notable
example
of
his
:
and
because
that
,
dying
in
so
high
degree
he
had
no
authoritie
by
the
lawe
to
make
his
testament
,
this
exhortation
and
counsel
stoode
in
steed
of
his
laste
will
&
testament
.
They
broke
and
burned
the
crosse
,
Now
what
they
did
to
a
notable
vertuose
old
man
,
a
Religiouse
Prieste
at
Mans
the
chiefe
Citie
of
Cenomania
in
Fraunce
,
I
am
afraid
,
yea
I
tremble
and
quake
to
rehearse
.
That
horrible
Act
don
emong
Christian
men
hath
defamed
and
blemished
the
name
,
not
only
of
all
Christians
,
but
allso
of
Heathens
,
Turkes
,
and
all
mankinde
.
Many
excellent
&
graue
wryters
haue
put
in
wryting
manye
a
time
and
often
,
that
there
be
in
some
partes
of
the
world
Anthropophagi
,
that
is
,
suche
people
as
do
eate
mannes
flesh
.
In
the
old
time
he
that
had
killed
his
own
father
shuld
be
sowed
vp
in
a
le●hern
bag
,
And
this
strainge
kind
of
most
shameful
&
ignominious
punishment
&
death
,
was
executed
only
vpon
those
that
had
killed
their
parents
,
for
their
vnnatural
,
vile
and
abhominable
offense
.
But
this
man
,
that
was
put
to
so
strainge
,
filthy
,
&
infamous
kind
of
most
cruel
death
,
who
was
compelled
against
nature
to
eat
his
owne
flesh
,
which
euery
man
spareth
and
cherisheth
,
haue
bene
of
likelihood
giltie
of
such
,
so
great
,
so
vilanouse
a
trespace
,
that
excepte
he
had
bene
rydde
out
of
the
waye
and
put
to
the
moste
cruell
death
that
coulde
be
inuented
,
the
whole
frame
of
all
the
world
must
nedes
haue
fallen
downe
and
perysshed
.
And
yet
to
this
miserable
man
,
who
shal
be
spoken
of
hereafter
to
the
worldes
end
,
and
be
peraduenture
the
rufull
argument
and
lamentable
matter
of
tragicall
stages
,
this
only
faulte
was
laied
,
that
he
was
a
Christian
man
,
a
Catholike
,
a
Priest
.
It
was
againste
theyr
will
that
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospell
punished
him
so
cruelly
,
but
yet
for
Reformations
sake
they
could
not
chuse
but
of
necessity
do
it
.
For
reformations
sake
also
I
doubt
not
(
as
the
Reformed
brethren
in
Christ
doe
fondly
beleue
)
they
sacked
,
The
Englishe
men
,
who
by
the
lawe
of
armes
,
by
manhode
,
princely
prowesse
and
force
of
warre
had
conquered
and
wonne
well
nigh
all
Fraunce
,
could
neuer
ouercome
and
get
the
strong
,
mighty
,
and
most
defensed
walles
and
rampiers
of
Orleans
.
But
this
Gospellish
Refourmation
in
this
last
Insurrection
in
Fraunce
,
hath
filled
vp
the
Ditches
with
earth
,
stones
,
and
rubbell
,
hath
throwen
downe
to
the
ground
,
the
surest
towres
,
the
strongest
Bulwarkes
,
all
the
defense
of
the
Towne
,
and
all
the
stronge
holdes
and
Fortresses
round
about
,
they
haue
made
the
Walles
so
flat
and
plaine
,
that
in
sundry
places
Cartes
and
Horses
may
cas●y
passe
ouer
,
yea
they
haue
brought
al
the
goodly
streates
,
Suburbes
&
Vines
about
the
Towne
to
a
bare
,
barein
,
and
naked
field
.
The
moste
Christian
king
Lewys
the
eleuenth
his
body
was
buried
Honorably
and
princely
,
in
a
goodly
tumbe
richly
garnished
,
with
his
Image
grauen
on
the
outside
,
in
our
Lady
Church
at
Clery
,
foure
leagues
from
Orleans
.
For
reformations
sake
they
did
hew
the
kinges
Image
in
peeces
,
cut
of
his
armes
,
feete
and
head
:
and
when
they
thoughte
they
had
sufficiently
punished
the
Image
,
they
open
the
sumptuous
&
honorable
graue
,
pluck
vp
the
kinges
body
out
of
the
lead
wherein
it
was
enclosed
,
caste
it
into
the
fire
and
burne
it
,
and
at
laste
they
spoyle
the
goodly
Church
that
was
trimly
builded
with
costly
and
faire
worke
,
they
vncouered
the
toppe
of
it
,
and
caste
it
quite
downe
.
For
Refourmations
sake
the
harte
of
good
king
Francis
the
second
(
who
died
lately
poysoned
,
For
Reformations
sake
,
Orleans
,
Roan
,
Lions
,
and
many
other
rich
Townes
in
Fraunce
,
the
whiche
florished
sometime
with
great
traficke
of
marchaundise
,
are
brought
to
extreame
pouertye
and
miserable
lacke
and
scarcitie
of
all
things
necessary
.
And
haue
fewer
occupiers
,
porer
Marchauntes
,
and
are
lesse
hanted
,
then
euer
they
were
before
in
any

remembraunce
.
How
many
parents
bereaued
of
their
children
,
how
many
children
benummed
of
their
Parentes
,
how
many
Widowes
weping

how

,
are
nowe
to

and
all
for

?
S.
Peter
had
neither
golde
nor
siluer
,
They
say
that
the
Cleargie
is
to
riche
,
and
therefore
they
take
away
both
from
them
,
and
from
the
laietie
also
without
respect
or
partialitie
,
such
hindrance
letles
&
impedimentes
of
pietie
,
deuotion
,
and
perfection
:
And
they
them selues
in
the
meane
tyme
,
good
men
,
doe
beare
patiently
vpon
their
neckes
the
synnes
of
the
people
,
and
al
this
traish
&
mucke
and
heauie
burdens
.
They
throw
down
townes
and
Cities
,
ouerthrow
Temples
and
Churches
,
to
get
gold
,
without
the
which
theyr
Gospell
can
not
be
planted
,
the
world
can
not
be
refourmed
,
yea
they
go
into
the
bowelles
and
bottome
of
the
earthe
.
They
robbe
the
dead
to
fill
theyr
owne
purses
,
they
open
and
breake
vp
sepulchres
and
graues
to
haue
the
very
lead
wherein
dead
mens
bodies
,
bones
and
asshes
are
wrapped
.
What
tounge
is
able
to
expresse
in
wordes
the
spoile
,
saccage
and
ruines
,
of
the
Churches
of
Poictiers
,
Lions
,
and
of
other
townes
in
al
quarters
of
France
?
This
is
moste
certaine
,
that
Beza
and
his
companions
,
Theeues
&
curthrotes
like
him selfe
,
stole
out
of
the
Churches
and
Vesteries
at
Tours
two
thousand
markes
in
syluer
,
and
a
thousand
marke
in
gold
,
besides
pretiouse
stones
,
chaines
and
other
Iewels
,
and
ornamentes
of
greate
valew
,
yea
and
that
with
suche
a
rage
,
such
an
vnmeasurable
desyre
and
outragiouse
couetousnes
,
such
a
furiouse
affection
and
thyrste
of
stealing
and
hauinge
,
that
they
scratched
all
that
euer
they
could
by
anie
meanes
,
and
lefte
not
as
much
as
a
naile
or
peece
of
yron
behinde
them
.
And
bysydes
all
this
,
the
Holy
Beza
dubbled
this
myscheuous
robbery
of
his
with
an
other
enormous
outrage
,
so
haynouse
and
greate
,
that
no
condigne
and
worthy
ponisshment
can
make
sufficient
amendes
for
it
.
For
he
toke
away
the
sacred
Relyques
of
the
blessed
Archebysshoppe
of
Tours
,
the
body
and
asshes
of
S.
Martyne
the
Greate
Confessor
,
that

With

at

O

Impietye
and
madnes
of

Heretikes
,
O
beastly
and
more
then
Barbarouse
rudenes
and
crueltie
.
What
Tyranne
euer
in
anye
Lande
was
so
fierce
and
cruell
,
that
woulde
persecute
,
teare
and
mangle
all
good

,
not

in

lyfe
tyme
,
but
also
after
they
were
departed
out
of
thys
world
,
and
buried
in
theyr
graues
?
These
cruell
Graueroo●ers
,
that
labor
to
brynge
a
newe
Religion
into
Christendome
,
can
not
abyde
,
that

shoulde

,
nor
yet
suffer
them
to

in

Heauen
with
theyr
blessed
soules
,
(
whiche
are
there
before
in
peace
,
and
reast
,
and
ioye
with
Christe
)
to
be
in
the
meane
tyme
closed
in
lead
,
or
couered
with
stone
,
or
layed
vnder
earth
and
claye
?
It
is
happy
,
they
can
not
plucke
theyr
holy
Soules
out
of
heauen
to
,
as
they
doe
al
theyr
endeuor
to
destroy
and
vtterly
rydde
theyr
bodies
out
of
the
earth
.
For
if
they
could
gette
them
thence
,
&
set
themselues
in
theyr
places
,
it
appereth
here
by
this
good
wil
of
theirs
in
the
one
,
what
they
would
doe
in
the
other
:
and
that
is
no
more
,
but
euen
to
follow
their
Grand
Capitaine
Lucifer
.
For
as
he
would
haue
done
to
God
himself
,
when
he
sayed
in
his
harte
,
he
would
clyme
aboue
al
the
starres
of
God
,
and
be
Gods
owne
fellowe
and
syt
faste
by
his
syde
:
euen
so
by
al
likelihod
,
these
men
would
doe
to
Gods
fryndes
and
seruantes
.
that
is
,
robbe
them
of
all
glory
,
and
of
theyr
places
both
in
heauen
&
earth
,
if
it
lay
in
theyr
power
so
to
doe
.
But
though
God
geue
them
alitle
leaue
on
theyr
bodies
whiche
is
all
that
they
,
or
the
the
diuell
hath
any
power
vpon
(
For
the
Serpent
feedeth
on
the
earth
and
crepeth
on
his
belie
,
I
cannot
let
passe
,
but
rehearse
and
note
here
vnto
you
surely
a
notable
Hystorie
out
of
Eusebius
,
of
the
persecutions
of
the
very
self
same
places
in
Fraunce
:
This
doth
Eusebius
wryte
&
reporte
out
of
the
very
letters
and
Autentyke
wyttenesse
of
the
Christen
folke
&
Martyrs
there
at
that
tyme
.
The
Paynyms
would
not
only
themselues
not
burie
the
dead
bodies
of
the
Sayntes
,
but
dyd
also
most
cruelly
forbyd
,
and
most
straightly
watche
,
that
none
other
man
,
nor
Christen
nor
heathen
moued
with
pitie
,
should
steale
them
away
and
burie
them
.
What
els
meane
these
Captaine
Protestants
nowe
,
but
that
neyther
they
,
nor
any
good
Christen
man
in
deede
,
shall
see
any
such
holy
bodies
reuerently
buried
and
layed
in
graue
?
The
heathen
Infidelles
cruelly
kylled
the
Christians
,
as
theyr
mortal
enemies
,
and
threwe
theyr
bodies
to
beastes
to
deuoure
:
These
worse
than
Infidelles
take
vp
the
bodies
that
haue
so
long
lyen
styl
,
spoyle
the
graues
and
Sepulchres
,
and
prophane
all
together
most
impiously
.
The
Infidelles
,
to
wreake
theyr
present
anger
,
forbyd
burial
to
their
enemies
,
being
newly
●layen
,
theyr
blood
yet
warme
,
and
the
tormentors
wrath
yet
fressh
and
fierce
:
these
fell
persecutors
denie
them
buriall
,
yea
most
violently
spoyle
them
of
theyr
graues
,
which
they
had
quietly
kepte
and
possessed
so
many
hundred
yeares
.
Whome
if
they
take
for
theyr
fryndes
,
why
order
they
so
cruelly
:
and
if
for
theyr
enemies
,
why
haue
they
not
forgot
all
yre
and
malice
after
so
long
tyme
of
so
many
hundred
yeares
?
The
mysbeleuing
Paynyms
thought
,
Whether
Beza
&
his
fellowes
in
theyr
like
dede
of
burning
the
Reliques
and
holy
bodies
of
Sayntes
,
and
throwing
theyr
bones
and
asshes
into
the
Riuer
,
haue
also
the
lyke
mynde
and
opinion
of
Gods
power
and
Resurrection
:
I
committe
to
the
secrete
iudgement
of
God
,
who
most
certaynly
both
seeth
theyr
thoughtes
,
and
the
most
priuie
corners
&
secretes
of
theyr
hartes
,
and
shall
reyse
vp
his
holy
Sayntes
&
Martyrs
bodies
to
immortal
lyfe
and
glory
,
where
euer
the
cruell
Infidell
,
or
impiouse
Heretike
scatter
and
flyng
them
abrode
in
the
wyde
world
.
But
in
the
meane
tyme
well
may
we
,
(
as
Christen
men
dyd
then
in
those
grea
persecutions
,
when
they
could
by
no
meanes
be
suffred
to
bury
the
dead
bodies
)
lament
to
see
&
heare
of
this
Heathen
&
Myscreant
maner
,
this
more
then
Turkysh
crueltie
of
suche
,
as
would
be
not
only
counted
true
Christians
,
but
also
pretend
&
stoutly
take
vpon
them
to
be
Refourmers
of
the
Catholike
fayth
.
Wel
may
we
rue
,
and
be
sory
to
see
this
daye
.
Well
maye
I
nowe
and
worthely
crye
out
,
and
make
exclamation
:
O
most
mercyfull
lord
,
O
euerlasting
God
of
heauen
and
earth
:
what
a
wycked
and
Barbarous
Religion
,
or
rather
Irreligion
,
what
a
strange
and
rude
Reformation
,
or
rather
Deformation
is
this
,
that
pursueth
with
famine
,
fyre
and
sworde
all
good
men
,
euery
where
,
and
allwayes
,
yea
,
after
they
are
departed
this
lyfe
?
that
encreaseth
,
gathereth
force
,
and
is
strengthened
with
turmoyling
and
troubling
all
Common
weales
and
good
Order
,
with
robbing
&
spoylinge
theyr
owne
contreemen
and
neighboures
,
with
contemning
and
prophaning
all
holie
and
Spirituall
things
,
with
breaking
vp
and
violating
of
Sepulchres
,
Schrines
,
and
Graues
,
with
kylling
&
murdering
all
faythfull
Subiectes
,
with
dasshing
and
huddeling
all
the
affayres
&
good
orders
of
the
whole
worlde
together
,
with
blasphemies
,
madnes
,
furie
,
rage
,
crueltie
,
butcherie
far
passing
the
Turkes
Tyrannie
?
What
els
shall
we
coniecture
&
deeme
to
haue
been
the
marke
and
end
,
intente
and
pourposes
of
suche
Refourmers
as
these
be
,
if
it
were
not
to
abolishe
&
roote
out
quite
all
Christian
Religion
out
of
the
world
?
they
haue
omitted
no
kinde
of
crueltie
that
could
be
deuised
,
they
haue
slayne
and
murdred
the
honorable
and
worshippull
,
the
substantiall
and
vertuouse
subiectes
,
they
haue
spared
noe
state
,
nor
age
.
The
rage
and
furor
of
these
sauage
&
Barbarouse
wretches
hath
extended
it self
and
waxen
fearce
and
cruell
againste
children
,
women
and
old
men
:
who
were
so
weak
,
that
they
were
not
able
nor
to
hurte
other
,
nor
yet
to
defend
and
saue
themselues
.
There
was
a
companie
of
honest
mens
Children
,
The
traytor
by
Angiers
which
kept
a
castle
againste
his
Souueraigne
lord
and
master
the
King
,
and
toke
a
Noble
woman
and
hanged
her
in
a
basket
by
a
rope
ouer
the
Castle
wall
for
a
bullwarke
against
the
force
&
shorte
of
the
Kings
artillarie
and
battering
pieces
,
did
suerlie
a
more
cruell
and
vnmercifull
acte
:
but
yet
not
so
durtie
,
filthye
and
bawdie
,
as
this
fowle
deed
which
nature
abhorreth
.
Theyr
full
po●rpose
and
intent
was
,
to
pille
,
robbe
and
spoile
all
they
could
get
,
&
to
leaue
nothing
vntouched
.
Gabastone
the
master
of
the
watche
or
rather
the
master
of
misserule
at
Paris
seemed
plainlie
to
confesse
and
proteste
,
that
this
was
their
mening
,
at
what
time
he
was
in
the
companie
of
these
Sacrilegiouse
Refourmers
at
the
spoiling
of
S.
Medardes
Churche
there
in
the
firste
beginning
of
the
trouble
,
and
rode
on
his
horse
into
the
quiere
before
the
highe
Aulter
,
and
there
gabbled
and
cried
to
his
mates
in
his
barbarouse
Gascoigne
Frenche
,
Pilla
tout
,
Pilla
tout
,
that
is
,
spoile
all
,
spoile
all
.
Is
there
anie
thing
I
pray
you
,
more
fearce
,
more
cruell
,
more
horrible
,
that
men
should
need
to
feare
at
the
Turkes
handes
,
if
he
had
been
in
place
,
then
that
we
haue
seen
,
to
our
greate
greife
,
smarte
and
dammage
,
attempted
and
committed
by
these
vile
Pages
,
and
Pedlers
of
this
newe
Gospell
?
Truelie
I
beleue
Soliman
the
great
Turke
himself
would
neuer
haue
suffred
Virgines
and
professed
Nunnes
to
be
so
filthylie
defloured
and
forced
by
rape
,
the
Priestes
and
seruantes
of
God
to
be
so
villanouslye
and
spitefullye
handeled
,
all
holye
thinges
consecrate
to
Gods
seruice
and
honoure
to
be
so
wickedlie
defiled
and
profaned
,
finallie
the
verie
blessed
and
pretiouse
bodie
of
our
lord
and
master
Christe
himself
to
be
with
suche
furiouse
and
outragiouse
impietie
,
caste
on
the
grownd
,
trod
vnder
foote
,
hurled
into
the
fire
and
into
the
water
,
and
so
desperatlie
to
be
prickt
with
theyr
swerdes
,
and
caried
vppon
the
toppes
of
theyr
speares
.
Verylie
thus
I
thinke
,
and
thus
my
mynd
geues
me
(
right
worshipfull
and
learned
)
that
except
that
onelye
Noble
man
,
the
right
honorable
Duke
of
Guyse
had
withstood
theyr
furiouse
attempts
,
and
defeated
theyr
moste
cruel
assaultes
and
desperate
enterprises
,
that
most
Noble
parte
of
Christendome
the
whole
common
weale
and
Realme
of
France
had
been
vtterlie
vndone
and
loste
.
And
that
notable
vertuouse
man
,
a
personne
moste
famouse
for
passing
manhod
,
exceading
vertue
,
&
peerlesse
knowledge
&
commendacion
for
warfarre
&
feates
of
armes
,
I
feare
me
leaste
I
seeme
to
passe
the
limites
&
compasse
of
the
time
apointed
for
me
to
speake
by
the
custome
of
this
Schole
,
&
to
abuse
your
gentel
patience
&
suffrance
(
right
worshipfull
)
if
I
trauaille
anie
further
with
longer
discourse
&
to
long
talk
,
to
declare
&
rippe
vp
the
endlesse
and
infinite
desperatnes
crueltie
,
&
madnes
of
these
harishe
Ministers
,
traiterouse
Refourmers
and
brutishe
Heretikes
.
To
be
shorte
,
your
wisdomes
I
doubt
not
doe
plainlie
now
perceaue
,
that
this
theyr
warre
for
Religion
againste
God
and
all
true
Religion
,
hath
been
made
,
nother
iustelie
,
nother
orderlie
,
nother
to
anie
good
effect
or
furtherance
of
Refourmation
.
Ye
see
now
as
clere
as
the
bright
shining
sonne
,
that
the
Protestantes
of
our
time
ranne
raisshelie
together
and
toke
weapon
in
●hand
without
anie
iuste
cause
,
reasonable
occasion
,
or
sufficient
quarell
:
that
they
badde
and
proclaimed
warre
againste
theyr
countrey
,
against
theyr
Souueraignes
,
againste
the
Catholike
Churche
of
Christe
without
anie
commission
,
power
or
Authoritie
:
that
they
fought
that
battaille
to
fearcelie
,
to
vnmercifullie
,
and
to
cruellie
,
to
the
exceding
great
iniurie
,
harme
and
wrong
of
all
good
men
,
to
the
incredible
hindrance
,
and
dammage
of
all
Christendome
,
and
suche
l●sse
as
can
neuer
be
repayred
.
Ye
know
now
these
new
Gospellers
,
the
wicked
Captaines
of
these
moste
traiterouse
and
dangerouse
insurrections
,
ye
vnderstand
what
maner
of
men
they
be
,
how
vprightlye
,
how
honestlie
they
liue
and
behaue
themselues
in
the
Churche
of
God
,
and
what
they
meane
,
what
they
go
about
,
what
they
attempt
.
What
saye
you
,
then
by
them
?
what
p●nisshement
,
thinke
you
,
haue
suche
bloudsuckers
,
suche
cruell
butchers
deserued
to
suffer
?
what
estimation
,
what
degree
,
what
state
among
Christen
men
iudge
you
suche
verlets
to
be
worthy
of
,
whome
neither
shame
could
withdraw
from
dishonestie
,
neither
feare
keepe
of
frome
danger
,
nother
reason
reuoke
from
madnes
,
nor
Religion
stop
from
Sacriledge
,
nor
pitie
staie
from
killing
and
murdering
of
theyr
own
neighbours
?
At
the
firste
for
a
messe
of
potage
certaine
loose
friers
and
fained
dissemblers
of
Monasticall
profession
fell
out
at
debate
betwene
themselues
,
&
afterward
,
they
were
pricked
,
dryuen
and
drawen
by
auarice
,
ambition
,
and
wanton
iuste
of
wicked
libertie
and
pleasure
to
strike
vp
a
larme
and
to
bid
battaille
:
and
at
length
they
fought
in
open
field
againste
theyr
own
contremen
,
neighbours
,
and
followes
,
againste
the
Magistrates
,
Kings
and
Emperours
,
against
the
Bishops
,
againste
the
Churche
,
againste
the
Christian
Religion
,
againste
all
good
men
,
against
the
Sayntes
of
heauen
,
&
finally
againste
God
allmightie
himself
,
as
the
Gyantes
did
,
of
whome
the
Poetes
in
theyr
fables
make
mention
,
meaning
in
deed
such
desperat
,
raging
&
wicked
caytiffes
,
rebelles
&
miscreants
,
as
these
were
.
The
false
traitors
&
desperat
cutthrotes
brought
into
the
Churche
of
Christe
a
cursed
kind
of
Religion
,
framed
,
caste
,
&
made
of
wicked
whoredomes
,
&
bawdie
bitcherie
,
of
innocent
bloud
and
murder
of
true
subiectes
,
of
all
maner
of
troublesome
and
seditious
mischiefe
&
discord
,
and
all
loosenes
and
libertie
to
embrace
and
f●llow
vice
&
sinne
.
They
haue
called
in
,
holpen
,
&
maintained
the
enemies
of
Christendome
,
Forayners
,
Tyrans
&
Turkes
.
They
haue
geuen
to
the
Turke
and
added
to
his
dominion
and
Empire
manie
Noble
and
goodlie
countreies
&
prouincies
of
Christendome
.
They
haue
lead
an
infinite
number
of
Christen
soules
to
eternall
damnation
,
throwen
them
down
hedlong
to
the
deepe
pit
of
euerlasting
fire
,
and
betaken
them
to
the
tyrannie
and
furie
,
of
the
vglie
finds
and
horrible
diuelles
of
hell
.
They
made
the
holie
fonte
stones
the
couers
of
theyr
iakes
:
yea
the
durtie
Helhowndes
(
Oh
abhominable
acte
)
were
not
ashamed
to
laye
the
excrementes
of
theyr
vile
and
wicked
bealies
euen
in
the
verie
sacred
fonte
and
place
where
Christen
men
were
wonte
to
receaue
theyr
Baptisme
.
There
were
slayen
in
Germanie
with
in
three
monethes
space
by
the
wicked
occasion
and
faulte
of
these
Refourmers
an
hundred
and
thirtie
thousande
men
,
and
in
Fraunce
aboue
a
hundred
thousand
,
among
whome
I
recken
not
the
infinite
number
of
suche
as
died
of
the
plague
there
in
the
meane
time
,
of
whome
the
greatest
parte
were
these
Cu●throtes
themselues
,
speciallie
they
of
Lyons
,
who
,
as
it
is
reported
,
did
poison
the
welles
&
common
waters
of
theyr
Citie
for
a
traiterouse
and
wicked
intent
:
So
that
by
the
iuste
iudgement
of
God
it
is
brought
to
passe
,
that
there
scars
remaineth
now
aliue
vppon
the
earthe
the
fourthe
parte
of
those
,
who
for
a
great
number
being
but
beardlesse
yong
men
and
moste
of
them
witlesse
,
&
altogether
desperat
and
destitute
of
the
feare
of
God
,
attempted
to
doe
suche
,
so
strainge
and
villainouse
deedes
.
I
will
not
staie
now
to
make
an
accompte
and
iuste
reckening
of
al
those
that
throughe
this
cursed
Refourmation
were
caried
to
miserable
captiuitie
vnder
the
Turke
,
or
were
slayen
in
the
field
in
defense
of
Christendome
againste
him
and
these
his
adherents
:
and
yet
this
I
am

They

the
Profession
of

eueriewhere

Al

are
besette
,
and
turmoyled
with
madnes
,
rage
,

,
fire
and

The
desperate
crie
of

heretikes
doth
make
all

sprinkled

dawbed
with
the
gore

:
Al

seditions
of

And
now
when

after
al
these
mischeifs
and
Tragical
offenses
,
that
these
mad
Bedlems

cursed
Caines

:
they
blame
the
Catholiks
and
lay

to
theyr
charge
,
that
haue
suffred
all
these
iniuries
,
losses
,
dammages
,
and
murders
at

.
There
came
furth
in
printe
of
late
to
the
sight
of
the

a
verie
fond
foolishe

peuyshe
litle
boke
out

writen
againste
the

of

:
for
so
it
liketh
them
in

to
call
the
Catholikes
.
In
these
and
suche

dangers
of
tumultes
and
insurrections
of
subiectes
,
(
right
learned
Audience
)
in
these
verie

snares
and

of

and

we
also
ourselues
haue
liued

We

Domesticall

of
all

This

this

this

deadlie
plague
,
we
haue
by
the

&
mercie
of

,
and
the

prouision
of

often

If
it
were
writen
in
euerie
mans
forehead
what
he
thought
of
the
Common
weale
,
ye
might
reade

what

what
is
like
to

:
if
(
whiche

)
this
your

also
should
happen
to
be
sette
a
fire
with
this
terrible
flame
of
discord
and
Rebellion
.
There
is
no
hope
of
forgeuenes
,
no
looking
for

,
no
place
left
for
pardon
,
where
the
rage
of
these
Gospellers
beginnes
to
get
the
vpper

,
or
theyr
desperat

to
beare
the

Nother

more

They
will
not
set
a

by
the
weeping
,
wayling
,
and
teares
of
theyr
frendes
&
acquaintance
,
they
will
caste
away
all
feare
,
and
set
naught
by
the
loue
&
frendship
both
of
God
and
man
,
and
breake
as
muche
as
euer
they
may
all

and
moste
desperatlie
cutte

of
euerie
Christen
man

when
they

that
they

Tread
out
therfore
and
quenche

of
this

now
whiles

Doe
not

Do

and
by

these
venemouse
Esopicall
adders
to
your

especiallie
,
and
to
the
destruction
of

.
Ye

heard
,
what
they

where
:
you
vuderstand
therby
what
you
your selues
also
ought
to

For
whiche

or
what
honest
man
in
all
the
world
wil
they
spare
,
think
you
,
who
are
so
malitiouse
&
spiteful
againste
all
good

,
that
they
can
not
find
in

hartes
,
to
let
them
reste
in
theyr

,
nor
pardon
them
when
they
are
dead

buried

There
is
no
honest
man
,
yea
no
Christen
man
(
who
at

remembreth
himself
to
be
a
Christian
)
that
can
abide
to

suche
Gospellers
,

madmen
,
wicked
Church
robbers
,
that
can
abide
to

of
them
:
whose
harte
riseth
not
against

,
and
finallie
detesteth
and
abhorreth
not

and
trem●leth
not
