Christian

THough
the

euer
wanted
his

Antichrist

,
who
busilie
laboureth
in

death-bringing-darnel
in
the
purest
corne-fields
of

which
they
supposed

he
had
neuer
such

infernal
mansion
with

as
in
this
age
of
ours
,
in
which
whole
swarmes
of
Apostates
,
and
deceiuing
Ministers
,
are
crept
into
the
Church
,
introducing
(
according
to
the
Apostles
prophesie
,
sundrie
sects
of

,
I
present
thee
with
this
ensuing
Treatise
,
in
which
thou
shalt
find
plainly
demonstrated
,
That
Luther
,
Caluin
,
Zwinglius
,
and
other
Prime-doctors
of
Protestancie
,
were
(
by
their
owne
confessions
)
baptized
and
brought
vp
in
the
now
Roman
Catholike
Religion
,
and
only
by
their
apostacie
gaue
life
and
being
to
Protestancie
,
and
that
the
Protestant
Martirologies
,
Callendars
,
and
genialogical
tables
,
consist
either
of
confessed
Papists
,
knowne
Schismatikes
,
detested
heretikes
,
wicked
Atheists
,
accursed
Magitians
,
Sacrilegious
thieues
,
or
notorious
Traitours
.
That
all
the
chiefe
doctrines
,
and
principles
of
Protestancie
,
are
old
condemned
heresies
;
and
that
the
most
damned
heresies
rhat
euer
were
hatched
in
any
age
,
haue
bene
fostered
,
cherished
,
and
defended
by
the
chief
:
doctors
in
the
Protestant
Church
.

That
no
Protestant
,
especially
of
the
Caluinean
sect
(
which
are
commonly
knowne
by
the
names
of
Protestants
here
in
England
,
of
Puritants
in
Scotland
,
of
Caluinists
in
Sauoy
;
of

)
can
be
said
(
if

the
doctrines
of
his
chiefe
doctors
)
to
beleeue
aright
any

Article
of

Apostles
Creede

That
the
God
of
the
Protestants
(
according
to
their
chiefe
doctrines
,
&
the
famous
confessions
of
some
of
the
the
same
fraternitie
)
is
no
other
but
a
diuell
of
hell
.
The
due
consideration
of
either
of
which
heades
or
chapters
,
will
abundantly
fuffice
to
perswade
anie
man
that
is
carefull
of
his
saluation
,
and
hath
not
made
a
couenant
with
death
&
hel
,
to
fly
the
fellowship
of
this
heretical
fraternitie
,
&
hasten
to
the
rock
of
that
true
Roman
Catholike
Church
,
from
whole
top
,
Luther
,
Caluin
,
&
other
their
Cymists
(
by
the
incitements
of
the
flesh
,
the
world
,
and
the
diuell
)
casting
them selues
headlong
,
fell
into
the
sea
of
heresies
in
which
to
be
by
death
drenched
,
is
to
eternally
lost
,
and
certainely
swallowed

Roman
Catholike
Church
,
and
by

(

was
the
first
knowne
Protestant

a

,
with
out
a

without

That
neither

,
FOXE
,
or
White
,
in
their
pretended

,
haue
produced
one
true

but
haue
shamefully
stuffed
their
Catalogues
with
many
knowen

Roman
Catholikes
,
infinite
store

desperate
heretikes
and

of

The
contence
of
the
third
Chapter
.
THat
the
chiefe
Doctors
of
Protestancie
,
teach
a
pluralitie
of
gods
;
cannot
well
brooke
the
word
Trinitie
;
deny
that
Christ
is
God
of
God
;
or
that
the
Essence
of
the
Father
was
communicated
to
him
;
affirme
that
Christ
was
inferour
to
his
Father
,
as
touching
his
diuinitie
;
maintaine
that
Christ
is
his
Fathers
vicar
,
or
vicegerent
as
he
is
God
;
that
he
had
two
persons
;
that
he
was
subiect
to
ignorance
and
vicious
affections
;
that
he
is
not
omnipotent
,
nor
able
to
doe
many
things
;
that
he
cannot
be
adored
with
out
Idolatry
,
because
his
humanity
is
ioyned
to
his
Godhead
;
that
the
blessed
virgin
remained
not
a
Virgin
in
,
&
after
her
child-birth
;
that
she
was
subiect
to
the
infirmities
of
other
women
in
child-bearing
;
that
Christs
natiuitie
and
incarnation
were
no
way
meritorious
;
that
Christs
diuine
nature
was
crucified
,
suffered
and
dead
together
with
his
humaine
;
that
his
corporall
death
was
nothing
auaileable
,
&c.
that
Christ
died
not
for
all
men
,
but
for
some
few
;
that
Christ
descended
not
at
all
into
hell
;
that
his
soule
lay
together
with
his
body
in
the
graue
;
that
he
freed
not
the
Patriarkes

Prophets
in

the
death

owne
power
;

&
Ascention

the
holy
ghost
hath
a
distinct
Essence
from
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
;
that
he
is
vnequal
to
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
,
&c.
that
the
church
may
erre
in
fundamentall
points
;
that
it
was
inuisible
for
a
1000.
years
together
at
lest
,
&c.
that
mens
sins
are
neuer
truly
remitted
;
no
not

,
&c.
The
contence
of
the
fourth
Chapter
.
THat
God
(
according
to
the
Protestants
expresse
doctrines
)
doth
not
onely
permit
,
but
force
men
to
sinne
;
that
some
men
by
naked
decree
of
God
,
without
any
desert
of
their
owne
,
are
Predestinated
to
eternall
damnation
;
that
howsoeuer
God
affirme
that
he
would
haue
all
men
saued
,
yet
he
neuer
meant
so
;
that
the
most
wicked
persons
that
euer
were
,
were
of
God
appointed
to
be
wicked
euen
as
they
were
;
that

TO
THE
RIGHT
worshipfull
Doctors
:
to
the
Worshipfull
Maisters
:
and
to
the
worthie
Students
of
the
Vniuersitie
of
Oxford
.
BEing
admonished
by
a
deare
friend
of
myne
,
that
this
Treatise
was
defectiue
,
in
that
it
wanted
an
Epistle
Dedicatorie
.
I
considered
with
my selfe
,
and
resolued
to
recommend
it
vnto
the
Vniuersitie
of
Oxford
,
in
respect
that
it
was
penned
by
a
Scholler
,
and
sometime
a
student
of
the
said
Vniuersitie
.
And
I
my selfe
in
my
youth
sucked
the
breasts
of
that
Nurse
.
Often
admiring
the
purple
robes
and
decorum
of
the
Doctors
:
accounting
of
them
,
as
of
the
Senators
and
Sages
of
England
.
But
yet
euer
detesting
schisme
and
heresie
in
my
hart
,
being
by
Gods
prouidence
and
goodnes
euen
acunabulis
from
my
cradle
inclyned
to
Catholike
faith
and
Religion
.
Whereupon
I
left
my
natiue
soyle
,
and
trauelled
into
forrayne
Countries
,
where
often
reflecting
with
astonishment
,
that
men
of
that
outward
grauitie
,
eloquence
and
learning
should
be
so
ouer-shaddowed
with
so
darke
a
cloude
of
error
,
schisme
,
and
heresie
,
and
of
so
weake
a
iudgement
as
to
thinke
all
the
world
to
be
ecclipsed
.
and
that
the
light
of
the
Gospel
could
shine
onely
from
Martin
Luther
,
and
Peter
Martir
,
two
Apostata
Fryers
,
or
any
such
rabble
.
Returning
into
my
Countrie
,
especially
since
his
Maiesties
happie
raigne
ouer
Great
Britaine
.
I
ioyed
much
to
see
,
as
it
were
at
our
time
,
the
prime
places
of
Prelacie
occupyed
by
Oxford
men

with

grieuous
painefull
sickenesse
of

stone
.
Oftentimes
afflictio

intellectum
There
was
a
constant
report
,
that
he
desired
a
Priest
before
his
death
,
and
to
die
a
member
of
the
Catholike-Roman
Church
;
If
the
report
were
true
,
a
memorable
note
of
Gods
grace
and
goodnes
;
If
not
true
,
the
worst
to
himselfe
:
wherefore
my
innated
affection
towardes
your
persons
,
and
the
place

vrgeth
mee
to
dedicate
this
Treatise
vnto
you

hoping
that
it

worke

Wherefore
this
liitle
Treatise
is
addressed
vnto
you
,
Maisters
and
students
of
Oxford
,
and
you
who
are
in
purple
robes
,
as
Senators
and
Sages
of
the

,
that
you
may
vncase
your selues

cast
off

expel
the
rauening
Wolfes

And
know

,
and
acknowledge
your
errours

schisme
,
and
heresie
,
and
returne
to
your
mother
Church
,
benigna
mater

,
she
is
a
louing
mother
,
to
receaue
you
.
Hell
gates
cannot
preuaile
against
her
,
she
hath
the
holy
Ghost
to
assist
and
direct
her
in
all
truth
of
doctrine
and
maners
,
and
good
life
.
You
know
the
Arch-bishop
of
Spalata
,
a
learned
Prelate
,
as
you
all
confesse
,
There
is
not
the
meanest
among
you
,
if
he
doe
but
read
the
Annales
of
M.
Iohn
Stowe
,
but
he
shall
clearly
vnderstand
,
how
,
&
when
the
schisme
began
in
K
Henrie
8.
in
auditum
,
and
neuer
by
any
Christian
Prince
practised
before
,
vnlesse
Iulian
the
Apostata
attempted
it
.
After
hee
had
thus
diuided
himselfe
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
established
his
authoritie
of
headsh●pp
,
he
presently
quarrelled
with
the
Cardinal
,
Bishops
,
and
Cleargie
,
and
conuicted
them
of
a
preminire
;
And
to
omitte
other
of
his
good
workes
,
in
the
38
and
last
yeare
of
his
raigne
(
a
thing
worth
the
noting
)
hauing
had
warres
with
France
,
and
peace
being
concluded
,
it
was
proclaimed
by
Harralds
,
with
sound
of
trumpet
the
13.
of
Iune
,
being
Whit
sonday
,
and
the
same
day
a
general
Procession
commanded
.
in
which
were
borne
all
the
richest
syluer
Crosses
in
London
,
of
euerie
Parish
one
,
and
the
Priestes
in
their
richest
Coapes
.
This
Precession
came
from
Paules
Church
through
Cheape
and
Cornehill
,
vp
to
Leaden
Hall
,
and
so
went
backe
to
Pauls
againe
.
This
was
the
last
shew
of
rich
Crosses
and
Coapes
in
London
for
shortly
after
all
those
Crosses
and
Coapes
,
with
other
the
Church
plate
were
commaunded
,
called
for
,
Then
succeeded
Edward
the
sixte
,
a
childe
,
a
boye
of
nine
yeares
of
age
,
who
continued
the
schisme
,
he
had
the
title
of
supreame
head
immediatly
in
earth
vnder
God
,
of
the
Church
of
England
and
Ierland
.
He
had
two
Vnckles
,
the
S●imers
by
the
mothers
side
,
the
one
L.
Protector
,
the
other
L.
Admiral
of
England
,
D.
Ridlie
,
at
Pauls
Crosse
,
&c.
Pride
would
not
suffer
these
two
brothers
peaceably
to
raigne
together
.
King
Edward
being
dead
,
the
Ladie
Iane
by
the
Duke
was
proclaimed
Queene
.
But
God
being
for
the
woman
,
Queene
Marie
obtayned
her
right
,
had
the
Crowne
,
After
her
decease
,
Queene
Elizabeth
succeeded
,
and
she
altered
all
againe
,
and
tooke
to
her selfe
,
Whether
she
did
this
vppon
zeale
of
Protestant
Religion
,
to
be
the
true
way
to
saluation
:
It
is
doubfull
,
because
she
professed
her selfe
a
Catholike
all
Queene
Maries
time
,
and
was
so
brought
vp
in
her
fathers
dayes
.
Therefore
it
is
thought
she
being
a
woman
,
did
it
vpon
policie
feare
and
reason
of
state
.
And
King
IAMES
our
Soueraigne
,
who
now
by
all
right
of
succession
raigneth
,
came
into
this
Kingdome
,
not
with
sword
,
nor
yet
with
gard
of
men
;
Thirdly
,
you
may
vnderstand
,
the
ingresse
and
progresse
of
the
schisme
of
England
,
and
what
will
be
the
egresse
wee
leaue
to
the
prescience
and
protection
of
Almightie
God
,
Qui
omnia
nouit
&
suauiter
disponit
.
Thus
to
returne
vnto
you
the
purple
Sages
,
&
Doctors
of
Oxford
,
Vncase
your selues
,
put
off
your
Maskes
and
Visardes
,
repent
this
schisme
,
dissolue
the
darke
cloud
of
heresie
,
It
is
true
saye
you
,
that
the
Roman
faith
was
the
true
Christian
faith
,
and
first
established
by
S
Peter
,
quia
humanum
est
errore
,
for
that
man
is
subiect
to
error
.
O
dangerous
&
damnable
opposition
,
which
doth
seeke
to
destroy
Catholike
faith
,
If
we
argue
with
the
Protestants
,
If
we
vrge
them
with
the
decrees
of
Popes
,
S.
Ave.
Oblations
of
the
liuing
,
may
profite
the
dead
,
that
he
writ
a
whole
booke
,
De
cura
pro
mortuis
augenda
,
of
the
care
to
be
had
of
the
dead
,
and
that
the
whole
Church
did
supplicat
and
pray
for
the
soules
departed
;
they
will
answere
he
was
a
particular
man
,
it
was
his
errour
,
and
the
errour
of
that
time
.
Aerius
was
condemned
for
an
Heretike
,
in
apposing
against
the
Church
,
inst.
c.
5.
§
,

that
the
auncient
Fathers
,
were
destitute
of
warrant
from
God
,
to
authorize
prayer
for
the
dead
.
Alleadge
S.
Wherefore
in
this
Treatise
wee
haue
excogitated
and
thought
vpon
another
course
,
No
doubt
they
will
crye
out
,
The
Scriptures
,
the
scriptures
onely
shall
be
our
guyde
,
our
Iudge
,
our
gouernour
,
our
warrant
,
in
matters
of
controuersie
.
Although
wee
know
that
some
contrauersies
cannot
be
decided
by
expresse
scripture
,
according
to
the
written
word
,
but
wee
must
haue
our
varrant
from
Tradition
and
the
Church
(
which
we
call
the
vnwritten
wordes
)
as
for
example
the
true
number
of
the
written
scriptures
,
are
these
and
no
more
:
the
Baptisme
of
Children
,
&c.
Yet
we
accept
of
this
condition
of
tryall
,
and
acknowledge
the
true
scripture
to
be
the
word
of
God
,
veritie
it selfe
,
wherein
no
falshood
can
be
hidden
,
the
true
tuchstone
of
trueth
,
dedicated
by
the
Holie
Ghost
,
written
by
the
Prophets
,
Euangelists
and
Apostles
of
Christ
:
therefore
with
all
reuerence
wee
reade
it
;
and
S.
Charles
Boromeus
did
so
reuerently
esteeme
of
the
sacred
scriptures
,
that
when
he
did
seriously
read
them
,
he
did
alwaies
read
them
vpon
his
knees
,
and
bare-headed
:
a
rare
example
of
pietie
.
Let
vs
willingly
enter
into
the
liste
of
this
combate
with
Protestants
or
Puritants
?
We
know
what
will
be
the
ende
of
this
,
for
demanding
of
them
before
hand
,
whether
they
will
be
tryed
by
the
bare
letter
of
the
word
,
or
the
true
sence
&
meaning
of
the
word
?
they
wil
answere
by
both
.
If
wee
aske
how
shall
wee
know
that
wee
haue
the
true
sence
and
meaning
of
the
word
:
they
will
answere
,
that
they
will
make
this
plaine
,
by
conferring
of
place
with
place
,
and
that
the
spirit
within
them
,
doth
tell
them
,
this
is
the
Trueth
,
and
true
sence
and
meaning
.
If
wee
replie
,
wee
haue
the
spirit
as
well
as
you
,
vee
conferre
place
with
place
as
well
as
you
:
where
then
will
be
the
end
of
this
controuersie
?
We
must
beleeue
them
vpon
the
veritie
of
their
spirit
,
and
the
conference
of
places
made
by
them
,
or
else
no
end
;
so
that
their
priuate
spirite
must
end
it
,
or
no
end
at
all
.
But
to
make
an
end
at
this
time
,
I
would
aduise
the
young
students
to
take
this
notandum
and
caueat
from
me
;
not
to
be
credulous
to
the
allegations
of
their
doctors
and
Sages
,
but
to
read
diligently
the
authentike
Authors
,
least
that
be
verified
in
you
.
Si

Thus
wishing
no
worse
vnto
you
Right
worshipful
Doctors
,
Maisters
,
and
worthie
students
,
then
to
mine
owne
soule
,
that
is
vnited
in
Religion
,
peace
in
conscience
and
saluation
in

CHAPTER
I.
That
Luther
,
Caluin
,
Zuinglius
,
and
all
other
prime-doctors
of
Protestanisme
,
were
(
by
their
owne
confessions
baptized
and
brought
vp
,
in
the
now
Roman
Religion
;
and
onely
by
their
apostacies
,
gaue
life
and
being
to
Protestancie
.
And

consist
either
of
confessed
Papists
,

this
praise
they
cannot
take
from
vs
;
that
we
were
the
first
that
brought
light
to
the
world
.
Without
our
helpe
,
no
man
had
euer
learned
one
word
of
the
Gospel
.
So
the
fore
mentioned
Luther
.
If
Luther
had
had
any
predecessors
imbued
with
the
true
faith
and
religion
,
there
had
bene
no
neede
of
a
Lutheran
reformation
,
Hospinia●i
.
Coelius
Secundus
Curio
,
Bucanus
,
Fulke
,
Downham
,
and
infinite
other
Protestants
,
as
shall
be
shewed
in
the
next
chapter
.
And
although
other
Protestants
blushing
at
this
ingenious
confession
of
their
fellowes
(
which
they
finde
apt
to
conuince
them
of
heresie
,
because
tasting
so
deepely
of
noueltie
)
haue
taken
no
small
paines
,
to
make
their
pedegree
smell
of
some
more
antiquitie
;
and
haue
for
this
purpose
composed
very
voluminous
and
large
Catologues
,
in
which
they
haue
most
shamfully
thrust
in
,
not
only
all
such
noble
professors
of
our
Religion
,
who
any
way
reprehended
the
vices
of
those
times
they
liued
in
,
without
any
dislike
of
the
religion
;
but
also
omitted
no
sorte
of
schismatikes
,
lewde
heretikes
,
atheists
,
sorcerers
,
witches
,
thieues
,
or
traitors
,
who
either
consent
with
them
,
or
dissent
from
vs
in
any
one
point
,
yet
such
is
their
hard
happe
,
that
among
all
this
GALLAMAFRY
,
there
is
not
one
true
Protestant
to
be
found
,
as
by
examining
their
Catalogues
,
and
bed-roles
of
witnesses
,
I
will
here
demonstrate
vnto
you
.
First

Secondly
concerning
[
*
](A01858-e15930-b)
*
Of
this
Protestant
Martir
,
Fox
confesseth
,
that
he
not
onely
escaped
burning
,
but
had
neuer
so
much
as
any
sentence
of
death
pronounced
against
him
.
Turmin
,
he
was
in
the
conspiracie
with
Sir
Iohn
Oldcastle
.
&
as
touching
Machiauill
al
men
know
that
he
was
a
true
Atheist
.
And
thus
hauing
exactly
viewed
the
Catalogue
of
the
Protestants
pretended
Ancastrie
,
and
found
them
to
be
no
other
,
then
either
confessed
Papists
,
knowne
Schismatikes
,
detested
Heretikes
,
Athists
,
Magitians
,
Thieues
and
Traitors
,
I
will
conclude
this
chapter
with
this
dilemma
.
Either
Luther
and
his
cope-mates
,
Caluin
,
Zwinglius
and
the
rest
,
had
knowne
,
visible
,
and
eminent
predecessors
,
who
professed
the
doctrines
they
now
teach
in
all
former
ages
,
or
they
had
no
predecessors
.
If
they
had
no
predecessors
(
as
Luther
himselfe
,
and
most
learned
Protestants
confessed
in
the
beginning
of
this
chapter
)
it
must
necessarily
follow
(
to
say
nothing
of
the
calling
of
Protestant
Ministers
,
which
must
needs
befrō
the
diuel
,
because
it
was
neither
[
(a)
](A01858-e16040-b)
(a)
Ordinarie
that
is
,
from
men
of
lawfull
authority
it
could
not
be
,
for
neither
at
that
time
,
nor
long
before
,
there
had
bene
any
knowne
or
visible
Protestant
Minister
or
Magistrate
,
as
they
themselues
confessed
in
the
beginning
of
this
chapter
,
and
as
for
Papists
,
who
then
were
onely
visible
,
as
most
Protestants
acknowledge
,
they
neuer
sent
them
to
Preach
those
new
doctrines
,
neither
will
any
Protestant
indure
to
deriue
any
small
authoritie
from
them
.
We
(
saith
Fulke
in
his
Retentiue
(
p.
67.
)
and
in
his
answere

the
false
Catholike
(
pag.

)
detest
,
abhorre
,
abiure
,
and
spit
at

Antichristian

Orders
;
you
are
deceiued

you

that
we

;
The

,
nor
[

(b)
Extraordinarie
or
immediately
from
God
,
it
was
neither
by
their
own
confessions
,
and
this
for
two
reasons
:
First
,
because
extraordinarie
calling
hath
not
bene
in
vse
since
the
Apostles
time
,
nor
must
euer
be
expected
,
till
the
end
of

contend
.
Secondly
because
extraodinarie
vocation
was
euer
accompanied
with
miracles
,
as
the
said
Luther
(

and
other
affirme
;
Now
that
no
Protestant
euer
wrought
any
miracle
,
is
manifest
in
it selfe
,
neither
will
any
of
them
challenge
so
much
;
we
neither
work
miracles
,
neither
doe
we
hold
,
that
the
doctrine
of
truth
is
to
be
confirmed
by
Miracles
.

,
that
is

:

But

neither

it
cannot
be
denyed
,
but
that
Protestants
are
infamous

,
in
being
descended

from
such
accursed

CHAPTER
II.
That
all
the
chiefe
doctrines
and
principles
of

,
are
old
condemned
heresies
;
and
that
the

THat
all
the
doctrines
which
Protestants
at
this
day
so
eagerly
maintaine
against
Roman
Catholikes
,
are
old
condemned
Heresies
;

Out
of
whom
I
will
here
instance
in
some
few
which
seeme
to
be
as
the
Marrow
,
Essence
,
and
life
of
Protestanisme
.
Setting
downe
the
age
in
which
these
Heresies
were
first
begot
;
the
Fathers
and
Councells
,
who
opposed
and
condemned
them
;
and
the
Protestant
Doctors
by
whom
they
are
reuiued
and
maintained
.
I
will
begin
with
the
first
age
.
In
the
first
age
,
Simon
Magus
one
of
the
first
detested
heretikes
,
was
condemned
of
heresie
by
S.
CLEMENT
and
IRENEVS
,
for
teaching
;
that
men
are
not
saued
by
good
workes
,
but
by
faith
only
;
and
that
man
had
no
free
will
:
both
which
assertions
,
are
now
generally
maintained
by
all
sorts
of
Protestants
,
as
two
principal
and
essential
Articles
of
their
religion
.
That
[

Luther

it
is
not
in
mans
power
to
thinke
either
good
or
euill
,
but
that
all
things
doe
happen
by
absolute
necessitie
,
is
one
of
our
chiefe
Articles
,

Martin
Luther

it

an
Article

we

,

S.
Epiphanius
,
for
teaching
that
children
might
be
saued
without
Baptisme
;
which
is
now
a
plausible
doctrine
,
among
all
the
Caluinian
Protestants
.
Baptisme
is
but
a
seale
of
the
promise
,
and
neither
hindereth
nor
furthereth
in
the
way
of
saluation
;
neither
doth
the
saluation
of
children
depende
on
baptisme
,
but
on
the
promise
which
God
made
to
ABRAHAM
Gen.
27.7
;
therefore
all
the
children
of
beleeuing
parents
,
are
sanctified
in
their
mothers

,
and
are
by
faith
the
heires

which
is
also
a
currant
doctrine
,
among
the
Caluinian
Protestants
:
For
they
generallie
teach
;
that
the
Sacrament
of
the
Eucharist
,
is
but
a
figure
of
Christs
bodie
;
That
S.
IOHN
Baptists
baptisme
,
was
all
one
with
ours
;
that
our
Baptisme
exceedeth
not
in
prerogatiue
the
Iewes
circumcision
;
that
the
schoolemens
distinction
(
teaching
that
the
Sacraments
of
the
Old
law
did
onely
adumbrate
or
shaddow
,
and
the
Sacraments
of
the
new
conferred
grace
)
was
to
be
hissed
at
;
and
that
the
Iewes
in
their
sacraments
had
the
same
substance
of
Christ
that
we
haue
.
Againe
,

For
imposing
a
necessitie
on
mariage
,
which
is
a
doctrine
much
vrged
&
defended
by
Martin
Luther
,
the
Protestants
Apostle
&
Euangelist
.
As
it
is
not
in
my
power
(
saith
he
)
not
to
be
a
man
,
increase
and
multiplie
,
is
not
a
precept
,
but
more
then
a
precept
,
to
wit
,
Gods
worke
which
is
not
in
our
power
to
hinder
or
omit
,
but
it
is
as
necessarie
as
to
be
a
man
,
&
more
necessare
then
to
eate
,
drinke
,
purge
,
sleepe
or
wake
,
&c.
So
Luther
.
And
in
an
other
place
,
exempting
but
three
kinds
of
men
from
the
necessitie
of
marriage
,
viz.
Gelded
men
,
Eunuches
borne
,
and
such
as
haue
made
themselues
Eunukes
,
he
addeth
saying
;
whosoeuer

in

of

of

,

in

and

,
yea

,

and

therefore

neither

Priesthood
in
the
New
Testament
is
spiritual
,
and
common
to
all
Christians
,
for
we
are
all
Priests
in
the
same
manner
that
Christ
was
a
Priest
;
this
sentence
is
vnresistable
,
that
in
the
New
Testament
,
there
are
no
visible
Priests
,
nor
can
be
different
from
lay
persons
,
and
such
as
be
,
are
without
the
warrant
of
Scripture
;
therefore
all
Christians
,
haue
power
and
authorite
to
Preach
though
BEHEMOTH
,
with
all
his
adherents
burst
himselfe
;
when
Paule
saith
,
it
is
not
permitted
for
a
woman
to
speake
in
the
Church
,
he
doth
not
speak
simply
,
as
if
it
were
vtterly
vnlawful
for
a
woman
to
Preach
,
but
only
that
it
is
not
fitting
for
a
woman
to
Preach
,
if
a
man
be
in
presence
,
that
is
able
to
performe
that
office
,
otherwise
it
is
necessarie
that
a

speake

Musculus
also
is
of
opinion
that
Poligamie
was
permitted
in
the
time
of
the
Apostles
;
and
Philip
Melancton
(
though
he
iudge
the
deuorce
of
king
Henrie
the
8.
from
his
first
wife
Catherine
,
as
most
vnlawfull
)
is
confident
,
that
king
Henry
might
with
credit
and
a
good
conscience
(
if
his
end
were
to
haue
issue
)
haue
taken
an
other
wife
&c.
because
(
saith
he
)
Poligamie
is
no
vnusuall
thing
,
nor
against
Gods
Law
;
since
Abraham
,
Dauid
and
many
holy
men
,
had
many
wiues
at
once
.
Thus
Melancton
,
Beza
,
Phinix
,
Zanchies
most
holy
man
,
and
Caluins
true
diuine
.
There
be
yet
liuing
can
well
remember
that
Doctor
Lawrence
,
It
is
also
well
knowne
(
to
omit
others
)
that
D.
Thorneborow
,
now
bishop
of
Worcester
,
had
a
long
time
two
wiues
at
once
,
one
of
which
(
viz.
the
first
his
true
lawfull
wife
)
is
lately
dead
;
whence
it
is
euident
,
that
the
Doctors
of
Protestancie
,
euery
way
equal
Mahomet
in
the
approbation
of
Poligamie
.
Furthermore
as
the
same
Mahomet
heretically
taught
;
Luther
,
Caluin
,
Bucer
,
&
all
other
chiefe
Protestant
Doctors
:
yea
and
in
many
other
cases
also
.
You
shall
heare
them
speake
.
Somtimes
wiues
proue
so
froward
,
If
thou
wilt
not
an
other
will
,
if
the
mistresse
will
not
,
let
the
maid
come
,
dismisse
Vasthi
,
and
take
Hester
,
after
the
example
of
King
Assuerus
.
So
Luther
.
Againe
:
It
is
the
duty
of
Magistrates
(
if
wiues
proue
so
obstinate
)
to
force
them
,
yea
and
punish
them
by
death
;
but
if
the
Magistrate
will
not
doe
it
,
An
adulterer
may
(
after
diuorce
)
goe
into
a
strange
countrey
,
and
there
if
he
cannot
containe
,
he
may
take
a
wife
.
So
Luther
,
and
the
like
is
affirmed
by
Melancton
and
Pomeran
.
Whether
a
woman
be
put
away
iustly
or
vniustly
,
if
she
haue
no
hope
to
returne
to
her
first
husband
,
and
yet
desireth
to
lead
a
godly
life
,
and
wanteth
the
companie
of
a
man
,
he
that
marrieth
her
,
shal
not
offend
.
So
Bucer
.
with
whom
Bucanus
and
Caluin
giue
their
assent
,
and

When
we
committ
murther
or
adultrie
,
it
is
the
worke
of
God
,
who
is
the
moouer
,
author
,
and
inforcer
of
it
.
so
Zwinglius
,
Fox
and
Willets
true
Protestant
confessor
and
martir
:
againe
;
although
a
bull
do
bull
a
whole
heard
of
kine
,
yet
it
is
no
sinne
in
him
but
a
greater
commendation
,
because
no
Law
forbiddeth
him
;
yet
if
the
master
of
the
bull
should
lie
with
more
wiues
then
his
owne
,
he
should
offend
,
since
the
Law
commaundeth
saying
,
Thou
shalt
not
committ
adultry
,
euen
so
God
hauing
no
Law
prohibiting
him
he
doth
not
sinne
,
though
he
worke
those
things
which
is
sinne
in
men
.
&c.
We
say
that
God
doth
not
only
permit
or
suffer
his
creatures
to
worke
or
do
any
thing
,
but
doth
properly
do
all
things
him selfe
,
whether
those
workes
be
indifferent
,
as
to
eat
and
drinke
&c.
or
whether
they
be
euill
,
as
the
adultrie
of
Dauid
.
There
is
no
reason
why
we
should
allow
of
this
cold
glosse
,
That
God
doth
only
permitt
,
and
not
also
cause
euills
,
so
in
effect
Melancton
:
Againe
;
the
abulterie
of
Dauid
,
and
the
treason
of
Iudas
,
are
as
properly
the
workes
of
God
,
as
the
vocation
and
the
conuersion
of
Paule
.
It
is
a
horrible
decree
I
confesse
(
saith
Caluin
)
and
yet
no
man
can
deny
but
that
God
forsaw
,
what
end
man
should
haue
,
and
he
therefore
knew
it
,
because
by
his
decree
he
had
so
ordained
it

there
can
be
nothing
more
plaine
,
then
where
he
so
often
pronounceth
,
that
he
blindeth
the
mindes
of
men
,
and
striketh
them
with
giddines
;
that
he
inebriateth
them
with
the
spirit
of
drowsines
,
that
he
hardneth
their
hearts
,
&c.
(
l
)
behold
he
directeth
his
voice
vnto
them
,
but
to
make
them
the
more
deafe
,
he
sendeth
them
light
,
but
to
make
them
the
more
blinde
,
he
giueth
them
a
remedie
,
but
meaneth
not
to
cure
them
,
&c.
the
impure
spirit
is
therefore
called
Gods
spirit
,
because
he
doth
answere
to
his
becke
and
power
,

is
rather
an
instrument

an

Thus
and
much
more
Caluin
,
in
which
as
you
see
like
a
true
childe
of
darkenesse
,
he
pleadeth
fairely
for
his
Lord
and
maister
the
diuell
,
clearing
him
as
much
as
in
him
lyeth
,
from
being
any
principall
author
of
euill
(
as
all
good
Christians
hold
him

and
layeth
it
wholly

he
maketh
God
(
I
say
)
the
only

absolute

the
