The
Anabaptists
which
vtterly
deny
al

,
affirme
that
the

speaking

doth
signifie
such
heathen
tyrants
as
were
then
the
Romane
Emperours
;
for
them
to
beare
the
sword
to
torment
and
punish
others
they
confesse
is
a
thing
well
sitting
and
beseeming
for
them
:
But
Christians
must
be
all
one
,
for
them
to
haue
or
be
Magistrates
(
they
say
)
it
is
in
no
wise
tollerable
.
If
these
phantasticall
spirites
would
consider
more
deeply
the
doctrine
of
the
Apostle
,
they
should
see
that
hee
alloweth
Magistracie
especially
amongst
Christians
;
for
he
requireth
such
rulers
as
vnder
whome
we
may
leade
a
godly
and
peaceable
life

Were

not

Did
not
they
retaine

as

as

the

?
Had
not
they
the

receiued

Howsoeuer
the
Spaniards
beare
the
name
of
Christians
,
they
are
nothing
lesse
then
what
they
pretend
,
they
may
be
in
the
Church
,
but
they
are
not
of
the
Church
,
and
they
are
so
much
worse
then
the
heathen
Infidels
,
as
a
rebell
and
traytor
within
the
walles
is
more
pernicious
then
a
forraine
or
outward
enemie
:
whatsoeuer
punishment
then
may
be
inflicted
on
our
professed
foes
,
the
same
or
much
greater
may
iustly
be
layd
on
them
:
although
indeede
there
is
no
more
professed
foe
to
the
kingdome
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
then
they
which
by
all
meanes
vpholde
that
man
of

,
Belial
.
We
hold
&
acknowledge
that
our
Lord
Iesus
to
satisfie
the
iustice
of
God
,
took
truelie
flesh
of
the
Virgin
Marie
,
like
vnto
vs
in
all

,
Abraham
:
As
if
hee
should
haue
said
,
it
had
bin
no
iustice
that
God
should
haue
punished
the
sinnes
of
man
in
an
heauenlie
or
angelicall
nature
;
but
as
truely
as
mans
flesh
did
sinne
,
so
truelie
it
was
requisite
that
the
flesh
of
man
should
paie
the
punishment
.
And
therefore
Christ
to
answere
that
iustice
of

,

we
professe
and
are
perswaded
,
that
as
in
all
the
whole
life
of
a
Christian
there
should
be
truth
and
fidelitie
,
so
especially
in
truces
and
leagues
of
kingdomes
and
common
wealths
:
as
the
scripture
teacheth
vs
,
that
loyaltie
and
leagues
are
to
be
kept
euen
with
heathen
men
.
There
was
a
league
made
betwixt
the
Israelites
and
the
heathenish
Gibeonits
,
Iosua
.
9.15
.
aboue
foure
hundred
and
foure
score
yeare
after
the
league
was
broken
,
the
Lord
was
so
offended
at
it
,
Caldees
,
he
brake
his
league
,
the
wrath
of
God
was
so
kindled
against
him
,
that
being
vanquished
he
was
compelled
to
flye
,
in
the
flight
he
was
taken
,
his
owne
sonnes
were
slaine
before
his
face
,
his
eyes
were
after
thrust
out
,
&
he
was
bound
in
chaines
and
led
prisoner
into
Babylon
.
In
truce-breaking
the
Lord
punisheth
euen
the
children
and
ofspring
,
to
testifie
his
wrath
and
seuere
iudgement
;
as
the
French
men

may
haue

▪
Spayne
,
as
he
is
taught
and
doth
professe
,
Fidem
non
esse
seruandam
cum
haereticis
,
that
whomsoeuer
the
Church
of
Rome
doth
condemne
for
heretikes
,
there
ought
no
saith
to
bee
kept
with
them
:
so
he
hath
shewed
it
in
sufficient
proofe
,
both
in
practising
secret
conspiracies
against
out
whole
realme
,
as
was
found
out
by
the
dealings
betwixt
Mendozza
and
Throgmorton
,
and
also
in
his
sending
of
troupes
of
armed
men
to
inuade
Ireland
,
to
bereaue
her
Maiestie
of
a
part
of
her
imperiall
Crowne
and
dignitie
.
And
finally
in
casting
about
to
surprise
and
intrap
the
whole
Fleete
of
the
English
Marchants
,
her
Maiesties
dutifull
subiects
,
when
they
meant
him
no
harme
:
but
vnder
the
hope
of
the
performance
of
his
league
,
did
traffique
without
feare
:
For
I
speake
not
now
of
any
thing
that
he
hath
done
fithence
he
hath
shewed
himselfe
our
professed
enemie
.
But
(
thinke
they
)
the
Bishop
of
Rome
may
dispence
with
all
disloyaltie
,
hee
may
dispose
Kingdomes
at
his
pleasure
,
he
hath
taught
vs
that
no
faith
is
to
be
kept
with
heretikes
,
this
is
our
anchour
,
this
is
our
hold
.
Thus
ye
see
then
how
the
Popes
children
&
sworn
souldiers
in
Spayne
,
first
partly
by
their
Idolatrie
,
and
partly
by
their
damnable
heresies
,
doe
vtterly
deface
the
true
worship
of
God
:
secondly
,
they
wickedly
vsurpe
the
offices
and
dignities
of
our
Messias
,
our
anoynted
King
,
Priest
and
Prophet
:
thirdly
,
they
fight
against
the
truth
of
the
humane
nature
of
Christ
,
and
the
veritie
of
his
ascension
;
the
most
noble
fortresses
of
our
saluation
:
fourthly
,
they
seeke
to
obscure
and
ouerwhelme
the
fruites
,
effects
,
and
merites
of
the
passion
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
.
And
last
of
al
,
they
are
such
as
in
no
wise
may
be
trusted
,
being
not
onely
workers
and
permitters
,
but
euen
professed
patrones
of
all
trecherie
,
falshood
and
disloyaltie
.
And
therefore
greater
seueritie
is
to
be
shewed
vpon
the
confederates
of
this
so
dangerous
a
conspiracie
within
the
walles
of
the
Church
of
God
,
then
is
to
be
vsed
to
any
forraine
foes
of
the
heathen
whatsoeuer
.
To
beate
downe
this
diuelish
pride
and
falshood
of
the
Antichristian
band
,
all
true
Christians
which
are
armed
with
the
authoritie
of
the
Magistrate
,
Reuel
.

.
ought
to
goe
on
couragiously
and
cheerefully
to
tread
the
Winepresse
of
the
Lords
wrath
,
as
S.
Iohn
speaketh
,
1.
Cor.
3.
vers.
vlt.
S.
Paul
sayth
,
That
all
is
ours
as
we
are

and

.
The
world
was
made
for
the
faithful
.
Howsoeuer
the
enemies
of
Christian
faith
doe
painfully
trauaile
in
their
seuerall
trades
of
life
,
yet
are
their
goods
not
so
their
owne
,
but
that
if
they
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
armie
of
the
Lord
vnder
the
authoritie
of
a
lawfull
Magistrate
,
it
may
bee
sayd
of
them
as
it
was
sayd
by
the
Psalmist
,
vers
.
44.
The
Lord
hath
brought
foorth
his
chosen
with
gladnesse
,
and
giuen
them
the
lands
of
the
heathen
,
and
they
tooke
the
labours
of
the
people
into
their
possession
.
The
people
of
Canaan
might
labour
painfully
,
but
the
gaine
and
profite
of
their
labours
was
the
strength
and
maintenance
of
their
princes
and
rulers
,
as
also
now
the
wealth
of
the
Spanish
Merchant
is
the
might
and
power
of
the
King
:
for
as
the
Merchant
groweth
more
and
more
in
wealth
,
so
doth
he
build
and
fortifie
his
ship
stronger
and
stronger
,
and
at
the
last
the
King
commandeth
both
his
ship
and
him
.
And
therfore
as
the
people
of
Israel
did
then
vnder
Iosua
,
so
may
we
doe
vnder
our
Christian
Magistrate
now
,
euen
so
farre
as
God
shall
leade
forth
his
chosen
with
gladnesse
,
weaken
the
powers
of
the
gouernours
,
Amalec

Aegypt

And
remember
we
may
how
the
bloodie
Spanyard
hath
fought
at
sundrie
times
by
most
dangerous
conspiracies
,
to
rent
our
nation
asunder
.
Remember
Amalec
:
Remember
how
many
godlie
English
Merchants
their
Inquisitors
haue
most
cruelly
tormented
and
spoyled

Remember
how
hardly
they
haue
delt
in
euill
intreating

Remember
how

inuade
her
Maiesties
Realme
of

Remember
how
they
attempted
with
their
inuincible
Nauie
at
once
to
swallow

vp

Remember
Amalec

Iosua

who
besieging

placed
thirtie
thousand
strong
men
behind
at
the
West
side
in
a
priuie
ambush
,
making
a
shewe
himselfe
as
though
hee
would
flye
before
the
townesmen
of
Ai
,
onely
to
intice
them
out
,
that
his
men
who
were
priuilie
placed
behind
might
sodainly
oppresse
and
make
hauocke
of
them
.
Neither

our
secret
Papists
to
terme
it
,
yet
is
it
such
a
robberie
as
by
the
mouth
of
the
Spanyards
themselues
is
allowed
:
for
they
haue
a
verse
and
common
prouerbe
in
Spayne
,
Quien
hurta
al
ladron
Cien
dias
gana
de
perdon
.
He
which
robs

Hath

Tingit
,
in

Pillars
of

,
these
wordes
are
grauen
in
the
Phoenician
tongue
:
Nos
Maurusij
sumus
qui
fugimus
a

Iosue
filij
Nun
praedonis
,
we
are
Moores
which
fled
once
from
the
face
of
the
thiefe
Iosua
the
sonne
of
Nun.
Thus
was
Iosua
the
true
seruant
of
GOD
accompted
and
termed
a
theefe
when
hee
did
lawfully
conquer
and
take
spoyle
of
the
Lords
enemies
.
But
here
some
may
say
:

Surely
there
is
nothing
wanting
but
that
which
Augustine
doth
name
as
the
ground
of
all
warres
,
legittma
superior
authoritas
aut
iubens
aut
concedens
,
A
lawful
superior
authority
either
commanding
or
permitting
.
The
Magistrate
onely
must
iudge
who
offend
of
weakenesse
,
and
who
offend
of
wilfull
obstinacie
,
and
without
the
Magistrate
nothing
may
be
done
:
no
not
so
much
as
amongst
the
heathen
men
be
the
subiects
neuer
so
faithful
Christians
,
and
be
their
Princes
and
gouernors
neuer
such
heathens
or
Infidels
,
Iosua
,
whose
warres
the
inhabitants
of
Tingit
accompted
as
theeueries
and
robberies
was
both
an
absolute
gouernour
of
Gods
people
,
and
a
stranger
no
way
in
subiection
to
the
Princes
of
Canaan
:
&
therfore
what
as
a
priuat
man
he
might
not
do
,
that
might
he
lawfully
do
as
a
publike
Magistrate
.
As
to
giue
another
instance
,
it
is
not
lawfull
for
priuate
men
to
curse
,
that
is
,
Dauid
,
and
no
doubt
lawfully
,
pray
for
the
ouerthrow
of
the
publike
enemies
of
the
common
wealth
of
Israel
?
Antonius
Pius
shewed
a
good
minde
when
he
often
vsed
the
saying
of
Scipio
,
se
malle
vnum
ciuem
seruare
quam
mille
hostes
perdere
:
that
hee
had
rather
saue
one
Citizen
,
then
destroy
a
thousand
enemies
.

If
Iosua
and
Iehu
had
not
been
armed
with
the
law
full
authority
of
the
sworde
,
they
might
in
no
wise
haue
politicklie
dissembled
with
the
inhabitants
of
Ai
,
or
with
the
Priests
of
Baal
:
but
now
being
placed
as
publike
persons
for
the
defence
of
the
Church
of
God
,
and
going
agaynst
them
,
as
to
whome
they
are
bound
neither
by
league
of
confederacie
,
nor
by
duety
of
loyalty
,
they
are
no
further
to
bewray
or
proclaime
their
intent
then
best
may
serue
for
the
speedie
and
safe
accomplishing
of
the
lawfull
conquest
of
the
Lordes
enemies
.
But
(
say
some
)
the
hostilitie
and
open
enmitie
betwixt
vs
and
Spaine
ought
first
to
be
proclaimed
before
any
warres
ought
to
be
taken
in
hand
,
Was
not
(
I
pray
you
)
that
huge
nauie
of
Spaine
which
came
euen
to
make
an
end
of
vs
vpon
earth
,
a
sufficient
herald
openly
to
proclaime
the
hatred
and
hostilitie
of
the
Spaniard
against
vs
?
And
I
think
his
ships
and
treasure
houses
doe
meetly
well
tell
him
,
that
out
fleetes
and
ordinance
vpon
the
Spanish
seas
haue
beene
a
reasonable
herald
to
proclaime
to
them
what
they
are
to
looke
for
at
the
English
mans
hands
.
If
our
most
gracious
Soueraigne
(
whom
the
Lord
long
blesse
&
preserue
)
haue
vpon
causes
not
knowen
to
vs
,
thought
good
as
yet
,
no
other
way
to
proclaime
the
warre
,
we
are
not
to
busie
our selues
in
examining
the
sayd
causes
which
perhaps
may
priuately
concerne
her
Maiestie
her self
.
But
as
when
Moses
and
Iethro
mette
together
,
hauing
kissed
each
other
,
Many
thinke
that
they
haue
condemned
these
warres
sufficiently
,
if
they
can
poynt
out
a
fewe
that
haue
been
hindered
or
haue
sustained
losses
thereby
.
But
as
we
may
not
iudge
ill
of
the
sacrifices
and
prayers
which
Iob
made
daily
for
his
children
,
Canaan
,
Numb
.
26.64
.
because
they
so
dropped
away
in
the
voyage
,
that
of
sixe
hundred
thousand
there
came
but
two
into
the
land
of
promise
:
no
more
may
we
condemne
our
practises
against
the
Idolatrous
Spanyard
,
because
amongst
many
,
some
haue
had
but
heauie
and
hard
successe
.
Others
affirme
,
that
they
could
like
of
these
warres
well
enough
,
if
the
aduersaries
were
thereby
pluckt
downe
:
but
these
dealings
(
say
they
)
doe
not
to
any
purpose
weaken
the
enemie
.
I
doubt
not
but
if
the
Lord
doe
still
continue
his
holie
hand
ouer
vs
,
they
will
bee
found
with
the
enemie
shortly
to
be
somewhat
.
Per
lo
primo
colpo
non
cade
la
querria
:
(
sayth
the
Italian
)
An
oake
is
not
fallen
downe
at
the
first
stroake
.
Many
littles
make
a
mickle
.
It
is
something
that
we
haue
all
their
Merchandises
will
they
nill
they
,
as
plentifully
as
euer
we
had
,
and
more
freelie
from
the
clutches
of
the
bloodie
Inquisitors
:
and
something
it
is
that
we
doe
a
little
disease
the
enemie
,
and
trouble
his
patience
in
his
busie
prouiding
for
the
new
inuincible
Nauie
:
and
something
also
it
is
,
that
we
haue
hereby
many
able
and
expert
Souldiers
and
Mariners
to
keep
the
enemie
occupied
at
home
,
which
otherwise
with
greater
danger
of
stirring
vp
rebellions
,
would
attempt
as
he
hath
done
to
make
inuasions
vpon
vs
here
.
Scipio
had
no
better
way
to
set
his
owne
countrey
Italy
free
from
Hannibal
,
but
to
inuade
the
Territories
of
Hannibal
in
Affrica
.
He
sayd
vnto
the
Senate
,
Affrica
,
it
came
to
passe
as
he
expected
,
he
remoued
the
forces
of
Hannibal
out
of
Italy
,
&
he
did
that
by
his
policie
in
a
short
time
,
which
by
all
the
Romane
power
could
not
be
brought
to
passe
at
home
in
many
yeares
.
I
make
not
this
example
of
the
heathen
any
ground
for
vs
to
build
vpon
,
onely
we
may
profitably
consider
how
farre
the
light
of
nature
did
shew
it selfe
for
the
defence
of
natiue
soyle
,
and
we
may
learne
sometimes
wisedome
of
the
children
of
this
world
,
who
are
more
wise
in
their
generation
then
the
children
of
light
.
Iosua

Iabin
the
King
of
Hazor
,
the
King
of
Madon

the
King
of
Shimron
,
the
King
of
Achsaph
,
the
Canaanits
,
Amorits
,
Heth
its
,
Pheresits
,
and
Iebusits
,
who
were
sayd
to
be
like
the
sand
of
the
sea
shore
innumerable
:
yet
when
he
vsed
his
forces
and
policies
in
the
feare
of
God
,
the
Lord
granted
vnto
him
many
most
noble
conquests
.
Zerah
the
Ethiopian
came
against
Asa
with
a
most
huge
armie
,
euen
ten
hundred
thousand
,
Sisera
,
by
the
hand
of
a
weake
woman
Iael
the
wife
of
Heber
.
Goliah
,
Samson
with
a
iaw
bone
slew
a
thousand
.
Achitophel
.
This
Achitophel
was
so
wise
,
so
politike
,
and
so
prudent
,
that
his
counsailes
were
counted
like
the
Oracles
of
God
:
yet
when
he
vsed
his
policies
against
the
good
Prince
Dauid
,
what
became
of
him
?
he
was
intrapped
in
his
owne
deuises
,
and
being
miserably
confounded
,
at
the
last
for
want
of
a
hangman
became
a
hangman
to
himselfe
.
There
is
no
wisedome
,
Hath
the
Lord
so
miraculously
discouered
,
and
in
a
manner
without
any
blood
on
our
partes
,
and
preuented
so
many
and
so
dangerous
conspiracies
and
treasons
,
which
so
treacherously
haue
been
often
deuised
against
her
sacred
Maiestie
?
Ireland
?
Did
the
Lord
confound
their
diuelish
purpose
when
they
had
as
it
were
set
downe
their
staffe
,
and
cast
anker
with
their
huge
Armadoes
,
as
it
were
to
raigne
like
Kinges
and
Lords
on
our
English
Seas
,
driuing
them
that
had
so
richly
furnisht
themselues
into
those
bare
and
barren
coasts
,
where
their
golde
and
siluer
could
nothing
benefit
them
?
when
by
sorceries
and
witcheries
they
haue
attempted
to
annoy
her
Maiestie
hath
the
Lorde
so
happily
discouered
them
and
so
mightily
confounded
them
,
that
as
the
Rebels
haue
had
no
force
,
so
the
Prince
of
rebels
Lucifer
himselfe
,
hath
had
no
power
against
her
?
Hath
the
Lord
made
a
speedy
dispatch
of
all
those
Popes
and
cutte
them
off
Pope
after
Pope
,
which
by
their
bloody
bulles
and
ranging
reconcilers
haue
sought
her
Graces
ouerthrow
,
and
granted
her
still
to
remaine
(
as
many
good
yeares
may
shee
continue
)
a
happy
and
triumphant
Queene
?
Hath
the
Lord
made
our
ships
of
England
such
a
terror
to
that
mighty
kingdome
,
that
on
their
owne
coastes
and
in
the
mouthes
of
their
own
harbours
they
will
not
come
out
tenne
to
one
,
vnlesse
they
may
haue
together
their
whole
inuincible
nauy
?
Let
vs
then
assure
our selues
,
that
if
we
can
be
thankful
vnto
him
,
and
put
our
trust
wholly
in
his
goodnes
,
louing
his
truth
and
liuing
in
his
feare
,
he
will
still
so
succour
and
defend
vs
hereafter
,
that
we
shal
be
safe
for
euer
vnder
the
shadowe
of
his
wings
.
Another
thing
that
did
greatly
comfort
Dauid
in
his
battailes
against
his
enemies
,
was
for
that
his
enemies
were
also
the
enemies
of
God
,
and
therefore
that
the
Lord
would
most
certainly
subuert
&
ouerthrow
them
.
Verse
.
45.
And
afterward
,
Thou
(
sayth
Dauid
)
commest
against
me
with
a
sworde
,
and
a
speare
,
and
a
shielde
;
but
I
come
against
thee
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
of
hoasts
,
the
GOD
of
Israel
whome
thou
hast
blasphemed
.
Surely
GOD
will
wound
the
head
of
his
enemies
,
Consider
then
I
pray
thee
what
enemie
thou
doest
encounter
with
when
thou
goest
against
the
Spaniard
:
First
,
he
is
,
as
ye
haue
heard
before
,
an
Idolater
,
a
pillar
and
prop
of
Antichrist
,
an
open
enemie
to
the
fayth
of
Christ
and
a
professed
patron
of
truce
breaking
,
falshood
and
disloyalty
.
He
is
also
a
greedy
tyrant
of
vnsatiable
couetousnes
,
that
seeketh
nothing
else
but
to
swallow
vp
euen
the
whole
worlde
.
When
the
Soueraigne
dignity
in
the
low
countries
was
offered
to
our
most
Christian
Prince
franckly
and
freely
,
her
Grace
refused
it
,
being
contented
with
those
kingdomes
which
God
,
and
blood
,
and
nature
hath
heaped
vpon
her
:
but
this
monster
of
Spaine
is
neuer
satisfied
:
Nauarre
,
Naples
,
the
Indies
,
will
not
serue
,
but
he
must
gripe
in
also
the
Low
countries
,
and
deuoure
vp
all
their
auncient
liberties
.
The
Lowe
countries
will
not
content
him
,
but
he
must
plucke
in
also
Portugall
.
Portugall
is
nothing
to
him
vnles
he
may
also
obtaine
France
,
and
then
also
he
gapeth
for
England
.
But
I
hope
that
as
the
Larke
being
mounted
to
the
highest
doth
sodainly
fall
downe
,
and
as
the
tyde
when
the
water
is
at
the
furthest
hath
his
recourse
backe
againe
:
So
the
Lord
wil
now
graunt
to
his
swelling
pride
such
a
time
of
downe-fall
,
that
as
swiftly
he
shall
fal
away
as
euer
he
mounted
vp
.
He
pretendeth
the
Catholike
faith
to
be
the
ground
of
all
his
warres
:
but
that
is
nothing
but
as
the
Italians
speake
,
Coprire
con
legiadro
mantello
iniquissimi
dissegni
,
with
a
fayre
cloake
to
couer
most
filthy
pretences
.
Did
the
Earles
of
Eghmont
and
Horne
finde
any
fauour
in
the
Low
countries
for
that
they
were
Romish
Catholikes
?
Were
they
not
put
to
death
bearing
crosses
in
their
hands
and
shriuen
of
the
Priest
?
Haue
the
Portingales
now
any
fauour
for
that
they
professe
the
same
fayth
with
the
King
?
No
truly
,
they
are
made
the
miserablest
slaues
in
al
the
whole
world
.
If
the
poorer
sorte
of
them
bee
taken
captiues
abroad
,
he
wil
not
giue
a
half-penie
for
their
ransome
.
He
will
part
with
great
summes
for
a
Spaniard
,
but
with
nothing
at
all
for
a
Portingale
.
As
for
the
Nobler
and
richer
sorte
hee
suffereth
them
to
bee
murdered
and
spoyled
at
home
.
Hee
is
content
to
be
king
of
them
,
and
to
receiue
the
kingly
reuenewes
:
but
he
will
in
no
case
haue
any
kingly
care
of
them
.
He
suffereth
the
Spaniards
to
come
daylie
amongst
them
to
abuse
their
wiues
and
daughters
,
that
their
children
may
be
doubtfull
:
and
indeede
doth
seeke
nothing
else
but
to
bring
the
same
vpon
them
which
hee
hath
brought
vpon
Naples
and
the
Indies
,
and
other
places
where
he
hath
set
in
foote
,
that
is
,
vtterly
to
dispeople
them
,
to
murder
and
make
hauock
both
of
Nobles
and
Commons
,
and
vtterly
to
make
an
ende
of
them
,
that
they
shuld
be
no
more
a
people
vpon
earth
.
They
pretend
Religion
till
they
can
preuaile
:
but
as
soone
as
they
come
to
beare
rule
,
all
their
doings
declare
what
was
the
marke
that
they
chiefly
aymed
at
.
I
know
the
miscreants
of
the
Popish
crew
doe
terme
the
gouernment
of
our
most
gracious
Soueraigne
,
to
be
bloodie
&
cruel
,
for
that
sundry
(
as
they
say
)
Catholikes
haue
bin
at
seuerall
times
put
to
death
since
the
continuance
of
her
Maiesties
raigne
.
But
there
is
none
,
vnlesse
he
bee
wilfully
blind
,
but
must
needs
confesse
,
that
their
absoluing
of
her
Maiesties
subiects
from
all
loyalty
and
alleageance
,
their
practising
of
secret
conspiracies
against
the
whole
Realm
,
&
their
withdrawing
of
the
obedience
of
the
people
from
their
Prince
,
whom
God
&
blood
,
and
the
law
hath
set
ouer
them
,
to
giue
it
to
a
forraine
prelate
a
Priest
of
Rome
,
were
such
dangerous
treasons
as
might
in
no
wise
be
spared
.
And
yet
of
the
authors
and
procurers
of
such
haynous
trecheries
,
to
some
her
Grace
hath
giuen
their
lands
to
remaine
to
their
posteritie
:
to
some
also
their
liues
,
when
they
haue
deserued
a
thousand
deaths
,
with
such
mercy
&
clemencie
as
was
neuer
heard
of
in
Prince
before
.
Her
lenitie
in
gouernement
hath
not
only
bin
milde
,
but
euen
mildenesse
it selfe
:
the
Lord
grant
that
her
dayes
may
bee
as
the
dayes
of
heauen
,
and
the
Lord
giue
grace
to
those
her
rebellious
subiects
,
once
duely
,
and
to
their
bettering
to
consider
the
kinde
and
bountiful
mercies
of
so
louing
and
gracious
a
Soueraigne
.
The
enemie
may
mutter
what
he
will
,
of
tyrannie
&
cruelty
,
to
obscure
this
her
mildenes
in
gouernement
,
but
the
beames
of
her
glory
in
this
vertue
doe
shine
so
bright
,
that
no
cloud
of
euil
speeches
can
ouerwhelme
or
darken
them
.
As
the
fame
of
Queene
Elizabeth
for
wisedom
is
spred
as
far
as
with
it
she
is
worthy
to
gouern
,
that
is
,
ouer
the
whole
earth
&
as
also
for
knowledge
in
all
the
languages
of
Christians
and
good
literature
,
she
is
,
and
may
be
a
mirror
to
all
Princes
or
euer
:
so
likewise
for
mercie
and
clemencie
,
she
is
,
and
maugre
the
despight
of
all
slaunderous
speeches
,
must
be
renowmed
so
long
as
the
worlde
shall
continue
.
But
the
Spanish
Inquisition
which
is
drunken
with
the
blood
of
GODS
Saints
,
doth
not
proceede
against
rebels
,
but
against
those
that
doe
most
chiefly
abhorre
and
derest
all
rebellion
and
treason
:
for
the
obedient
and
dutifull
Christians
whom
they
torment
,
doe
beleeue
and
professe
,
that
euery
soule
ought
to
be
subiect
to
the
higher
powers
,
euen
euery
soule
,
be
hee
Prophet
,
It
may
be
sayd
of
the
Spaniard
,
setting
all
countries
about
him
on
fire
,
as
the
Spanish
song
goeth
of
Nero
,
Mira

de
Tarpeia
A

como

dan

From
Tarpeia
Nero
doth
behold
Rome
hard
by
burnes
:
Though
cries
be
made
of
young
and
olde
He
nothing
mournes
.
By
dismissing
of
late
many
English
men
francke
and
free
,
he
would
seeme
now
to
make
shew
of
some
fauour
vnto
England
,
that
he
doth
not
beare
that
bloodie
minde
against
vs
as
commonly
is
surmized
.
But
I
hope
wee
shall
trust
him
neuer
the
better
.
Hee
was
a
blacke
diuel
before
,
and
now
he
is
as
white
as
that
diuell
that
doth
turne
himselfe
into
an
Angel
of
light
.
England
,
with
this
poesie
grauen
vpon
them
;
An
absolution
for
the
heretikes
of
England
,
doe
tell
vs
plainly
that
the
mercy
which
they
pretend
nowe
,
is
but
in
iest
,
or
rather
in
deepe
dissimulation
,
and
that
if
wee
come
vnder
their
blessing
,
wee
must
looke
for
no
other
absolution
,
but
cutting
of
throates
.
The
cause
why
he
so
earnestly
seeketh
the
conquest
of
our
neighbours
about
vs
,
is
that
thereby
hee
may
the
better
worke
his
purpose
vpon
vs
:
wee
are
to
assist
them
in
respect
of
themselues
,
or
else
were
we
verie
vniust
:
for
as
sayth
the
Orator
,
Iniustitiae
duo
sunt
genera
,
1.
vnum
eorum
qui
inferunt
,
alterum
eorum
qui
ab
ijs
quibus
infertur
non
propulsant
iniuriam
.
Qui
non
obsistit
sipotest
iniurie
,
tam
est
in
vitio
quam
si
parentes
,
aut
amicos
,
aut
patriam
deserat
.
There
are
two
kindes
of
vniustice
,
the
one
of
them
which
doe
iniurie
,
the
other
of
them
which
doe
not
defend
from
iniurie
.
He
which
doth
not
withstand
iniurie
,
if
he
be
able
,
is
in
as
great
a
fault
,
as
if
he
should
forsake
his
parents
,
his
friends
,
or
his
own
countrey
:
their
houses
can
hardly
burne
,
but
ours
must
be
in
danger
to
smoke
:
and
therefore
especially
we
are
to
labour
to
preuent
the
ende
,
that
is
,
the
slauery
and
bondage
which
they
intend
to
bring
vpon
our
owne
nation
,
〈◊〉

.
Xenophon
,
to
fight
for
the
auoyding
of
bondage
.
And
it
cannot
but
be
as
noble
to
fight
for
the
eschewing
the
Antichristian
yoke
of
popish
Idolatrie
:
for
howsoeuer
the
Spaniard
would
seem
to
be
a
defendour
of
the
Catholike
faith
,
let
his
filthy
Idolatry
,
his
pestiferous
heresies
,
his
truce
breaking
,
his
greedy
couetousnes
,
his
swelling
ambition
,
and
his
bloody
cruelty
be
sufficient
testimonies
to
vs
that
his
fayth
is
not
true
and
Catholike
,
but
diuelish
and
Antichristian
.
Well
he
may
make
a
shew
of
deuotion
and
of
the
seruice
of
God
,
and
of
liberall
contribution
to
maintaine
the
Church
of
God
:
But
all
their
offerings
(
as
ye
haue
heard
)
are
of
goods
wrongfully
possessed
,
and
therefore
they
doe
but
according
to
their
owne
prouerbe
,
Hurtan
el
puer
as
darlos
pies
por
amor
de
dios
,
steale
the
swine
and
bestow
the
feete
for
the
loue
of
God
:
and
all
their
outward
glorious
profession
is
but
to
haue
as
their
owne
by
word
goeth
of
them
,
Vnnas

a
catte
and
a
Saints
weede
,
the
crosse
on
their
brest
and
the
diuel
in
their
deede
.
It
is
but
an
outward
shew
to
cloake
and
couer
their
couetousnes
and
hypocrisie
:
and
therefore
going
against
him
,
wee
goe
against
the
Lordes
enemie
:
and
we
may
conclude
to
our
owne
heart
with
the
confidence
of
Dauid
;
The
Frenchman
that
hath
answered
all
the
Maximaes
gathered
out
of
the
workes
of
Machiauel
,
is
in
this
poynt
too
short
,
who
concludeth
generally
,
that
there
ought
to
be
no
warres
against
Gods
enemies
in
cases
of
religion
,
onely
vpon
this
ground
:
Puis
que
toute
religion
consiste
en
vne
approbation
de
certains
points
qui
concernent
le
seruice
de
dieu
,
il
est
certain
que
telle
approbation
pend
de
la
persuasion
qui
en
est
donnée
aux
hommes
.
Or
le
moyen
de
persuader
vne
chose
a
vne
personne
ce
n'
est
point
de
prendre
les
armes
pour
le
batreny
de
le

&

,
qui

.
Seeing
that
all
religion
doth
consist
in
the
allowing
and
yeelding
to
certaine
poynts
which
concerne
the
worship
of
God
,
it
is
certaine
that
that
allowing
doth
depend
vpon
the
perswading
of
men
.
Now
the
meane
(
sayth
he
)
to
perswade
any
man
,
is
not
to
take
vp
weapons
to
beate
him
,
nor
to
menace
and
threaten
him
,
but
to
make
demonstration
to
him
by
such
reasons
and
good
proofes
as
may
leade
him
to
perswasion
.
What
perswasion
,
I
pray
you
,
can
be
vsed
with
them
which
will
not
suffer
a
perswader
to
liue
amongst
them
?
who
if
a
teacher
come
to
them
,
doe
put
him
straight
to
the
fire
or
sword
:
or
if
the
holy
scriptures
or
any
godly
instruction
be
brought
vnto
them
,
they
burne
both
the
booke
&
the
bringer
,
who
are
not
content
to
liue
vnder
Antichrist
,
but
doe
with
al
tyrannie
and
bloodshed
vphold
the
kingdome
of
Antichrist
,
which
are
not
weake
but
wilfull
,
not
blind
but
obstinate
:
which
are
not
content
themselues
to
beare
the
marke
of
the
beast
,
Reuel
.
13.17
.
but
doe
fight
for
the
beast
,
and
seeke
to
bring
all
nations
vnder
the
yoke
of
his
bondage
.
If
the
Spanyards
were
no
otherwise
enemies
to
vs
then
the
Indians
were
to
them
,
who
were
most
of
them
meeke
and
obedient
,
and
willing
to
be
taught
and
gouerned
:
if
we
should
then
haue
spilt
the
blood
of
so
many
infinite
thousands
,
as
they
haue
done
,
then
might
the
Papist
iustly
haue
opened
his
mouth
against
vs
,
and
we
should
haue
had
great
occasion
to
feare
that
which
now
hangeth
ouer
them
,
euen
the
vengeance
that
the
Prophet
speaketh
of
,
one
stone
to
crye
against
another
,
Another
comfort
and
solace
had
Dauid
in
all
his
troubles
,
that
euen
for
the
Churches
sake
the
Lord
would
destroy
his
enemies
:
and
for
this
cause
he
saith
,
Esay
,
Except
the
Lord
of
hoasts
had
left
a
remnant
to
vs
,
we
had
been
as
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
.
For
that
little
remnant
,
that
number
of
the
elect
which
God
hath
amongst
vs
,
the
Lord
hath
hitherto
extended
so
many
blessings
vpon
vs
,
and
we
hope
that
for
their
sakes
he
will
still
lift
vp
himselfe
againe
.
God
promiseth
for
ten
good
men
to
spare
all
Sodome

,
Generall
of
the
armie
of
Iuda
,
men
(
as
the
scripture
sayth
)
better
then
himselfe
.
This
wicked
Ioab
was
Dauids
Lieuetenant
of
all
his
armie
,
Though
I
say
many
of
them
be
thus
prophane
and
wicked
,
yet
our
hope
is
,
that
as
often
heretofore
,
so
hereafter
still
,
for
the
good
Princes
sake
the
Lord
will
blesse
the
labours
of
Ioab
.

that
so
eagerly
hunteth
for

of
the

;

affections
if

cary

then
no

the

will
so
blesse
our
labours
,
that
liuing

we
shall
be

members
of

away

are
assured

either
in

faith
of
