AN
APOLOGIE
OR
DEFENCE
OF
THE
WATCH-WORD
.
Resistance
to
the
first
Encounter
about
the
manifold
blessings
,
from
God
,
through
her
Maiesties
happie
Raigne
,
powred
vpon
this
Land
.
THough
my
intent
is
not
to
make
answere
eyther
to
the
immodest
raylings
,
What
beasts
were
most
perilous
?
And
the
answere
is
,
Of
all
wilde-beastes
a
Tyrant
,
&
of
tame-beastes
a
flatterer
;
and
if
you
can
as
easily
free
such
as
you
seeke
with
might
and
maine
to
defend
,
from
the
iust
imputation
of
tyranny
,
as
I
shall
be
able
to
cleare
my selfe
from
any
the
least
intention
to
flatter
,
you
shall
doe
more
then
euer
any
could
doe
for
them
before
.
Antisthenes
is
reported
to
be
wont
to
say
,
he
had
rather
haue
rauens
resort
to
his
house
then
flatterers
,
yeelding
this
reason
,
that
rauens
do
but
pray
vpon
the
carcasse
being
dead
,
but
flatterers
deuoure
both
bodie
and
soule
aliue
.
To
enterprise
the
enumeration
of
great
States
and
Princes
through
flatterers
vtterly
ruinated
,
were
to
vndertake
an
endles
labour
but
as
the
verse
hath
:
Blanditiae
plusquam
dira
venena
nocent
,
Sugred
and
sweet
flatter●●●●●teth
more
,
Then
deadly
poyson
th●●gh
thou
drink
great
store
.
So
were
it
not
hard
to
●hew
more
seigniories
and
kingdomes
subuerted
by
secret
flatterie
,
then
by
open
hostilitie
:
by
how
much
the
more
earnestly
I
beseech
the
Lord
,
that
if
her
Maiesties
Court
cannot
be
altogether
free
from
flatterers
(
who
as
burres
doe
commonly
hang
vpon
the
sleeues
of
Princes
,
)
yet
by
her
princely
wisedome
she
may
alwaies
espie
them
,
and
finde
them
out
,
saying
as
the
Philosopher
is
reported
that
was
Nephew
to
Plato
.
Define
adulari
,
nihil
enim
proficis
cum
te
intelligam
,
leaue
thy
flearing
and
fawning
,
thou
preuailest
nothing
,
for
I
perceiue
thee
well
enough
.
But
I
pray
you
(
Sir
N.
D.
)
where
learned
you
that
skill
to
take
vpon
you
to
affirme
and
proue
,
that
to
publish
the
commendation
of
Princes
vpon
iust
desert
is
flatterie
?
And
if
I
had
leasure
to
stand
vpon
iust
retortion
of
vniust
accusations
,
Doctor
Raynolds
noteth
that
the
Cardinals
,
and
others
deputed
by
Gregorie
13
to
reuise
,
correct
,
and
purge
out
,
such
things
as
by
errour
had
crept
into
the
Glosses
,
&
annotations
in
the
booke
of
decrees
and
decretals
,
&c.
yet
haue
not
only
not
remoued
this
blasphemie
,
but
not
so
much
as
giuen
the
least
castigation
vpon
it
:
belike
because
they
thought
that
could
not
fit
the
Pope
,
which
the
Apostle
writeth
of
Antichrist
,
that
he
doth
sit
as
God
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
shewing
himselfe
that
he
is
God
,
vnlesse
they
should
suffer
a
place
to
be
extant
,
wherein
he
is
plainely
called
,
Lord
God
,
in
a
popish
worke
,
by
the
Papists
themselues
corrected
,
printed
at
Rome
,
and
that
at
the
Popes
own
speciall
commandement
:
and
so
much
concerning
your
accusation
of
flatterie
.
The
which
yet
you
labour
to
enforce
,
because
I
take
vpon
me
to
speake
of
infinite
blessings
from
Almightie
God
,
I
doubt
not
but
you
are
men
of
wisedome
,
and
can
easily
conceiue
what
dangers
we
stand
in
,
by
that
which
hath
beene
said
before
.
And
againe
,
The
life
of
Religion
,
Queene
,
and
Countrie
is
at
the
stake
.
Verely
if
I
should
speake
of
the
great
blessings
bestowed
vpon
this
land
in
the
happie
establishing
of
true
Christian
Religion
amongs
vs
,
and
should
think
the
contrarie
,
I
should
iudge
my selfe
worthie
to
be
taxed
with
so
odious
a
crime
as
flatterie
is
.
For
I
will
say
as
he
in
the
Poet
:
Odi
etenim
ceu
claustra
Erebi
,
quicunque
loquuntur
,
Ore
aliud
,
tacitoque
aliud
sub
pectore
claudunt
:
I
hate
as
gates
of
hell
,
who
euer
thou
art
That
one
thing
say'st
,
another
think'st
in
hart
.
But
(
good
Sir
)
what
contrarietie
is
there
in
my
words
?
Iesus
Syrach
)
is
like
the
composition
of
perfume
,
that
is
made
by
the
Art
of
the
Apothecary
,
it
is
sweet
as
hony
in
all
mouthes
,
and
as
Musicke
at
a
banquet
of
wine
.
He
behaued
himselfe
vprightly
in
the
reformation
of
the
people
,
and
tooke
away
all
abomination
of
iniquitie
,
he
directed
his
heart
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
in
the
time
of
the
vngodly
,
he
established
Religion
.
Highly
was
Ierusalem
blessed
by
the
raigne
of
good
Iosiah
,
rooting
out
Idolatrie
,
and
restoring
to
the
people
the
booke
of
the
Law
,
(
as
is
this
land
likewise
by
the
like
blessed
Raigne
of
our
gracious
Iosiah
,
)
and
yet
euen
in
his
time
,
for
the
Idolatrie
committed
vnder
his
Father
,
and
Grand-father
,
and
for
their
affections
declining
to
Idolatrie
,
and
not
truly
esteeming
the
blessings
in
Iosiah
their
king
powred
vpon
them
,
the
Lord
threatneth
to
bring
euill
vpon
that
place
,
and
the
Inhabitants
thereof
.
Which
he
did
by
suffering
Iosiah
to
be
slaine
by
the
souldiours
of
the
king
of
Egypt
,
and
within
few
yeares
after
his
death
,
selling
his
owne
people
into
the
hands
of
the
idolatrous
Babilonians
.
For
as
darknesse
naturally
followeth
light
,
and
night
the
day
,
so
do
great
punishments
accompanie
rare
blessings
,
when
they
are
not
duely
esteemed
as
they
ought
.
Blessed
was
Ierusalem
by
the
testimonie
of
the
Lords
owne
mouth
when
he
said
:
My
beloued
had
a
Vineyard
in
a
very
fruitfull
hill
,
and
he
hedged
it
,
&
gathered
out
the
stones
of
it
,
and
he
planted
it
with
the
best
plants
,
and
built
a
Tower
in
the
middest
thereof
,
and
made
a
wine-presse
therein
:
But
when
he
looked
for
grapes
,
and
it
brought
forth
wild-grapes
,
the
Lord
threatned
from
the
height
of
this
blessed
estate
,
to
cast
them
into
the
gulfe
of
miserie
,
to
take
away
the
hedge
from
his
Vineyard
,
that
it
might
be
eaten
vp
,
and
breake
downe
the
wall
thereof
that
it
might
be
troden
downe
,
&c.
The
Lord
hath
not
therefore
been
lesse
beneficiall
to
vs
in
placing
so
gracious
an
head
vpon
the
bodie
of
this
Realme
,
because
you
,
and
some
such
as
your selfe
are
,
doe
yet
remaine
to
God
ingrate
,
and
to
your
Prince
,
and
Countrey
vnnaturall
.
Onely
I
beseech
God
,
that
whereas
by
his
appointment
the
Oliue
is
yet
ouer
vs
with
her
fatnes
,
and
the
Figge
with
her
sweetnes
,
and
the
Vine
with
her
fruitfulries
,
that
(
amongst
many
other
sinnes
of
our
land
)
for
our
vngratefull
contempt
of
so
great
a
blessing
,
a
Bramble
be
not
set
ouer
vs
,
which
is
good
for
nothing
,
but
to
burne
and
consume
vs
:
and
so
much
concerning
my
supposed
contradiction
.
Now
(
Sir
N.
D.
)
it
is
your
pleasure
to
heare
my
manner
of
speech
in
these
words
,
If
I
should
take
vpon
me
to
enter
into
the
enumeration
of
all
the
benefits
and
blessings
that
from
the
Almightie
haue
beene
powred
vpon
this
little
Iland
of
England
,
&c.
And
hauing
thus
vnperfectly
repeated
them
,
you
passe
the
ouer
with
this
sleight
exception
,
saying
:
That
in
mentioning
our
little
Iland
,
I
must
take
Scotland
with
me
,
else
I
erre
in
Cosmographie
,
as
though
England
were
not
deuided
in
gouernment
from
Scotland
,
though
both
rest
vpon
one
continent
,
and
as
though
your selfe
did
not
tearme
this
Realme
an
Iland
,
Lyons
,
Orleans
,
Roan
,
Tolouse
;
in
which
Cities
(
within
the
space
of
one
moneth
)
there
are
numbred
at
the
least
thirtie
thousand
godly
Protestants
to
be
slaine
:
your
holy
father
at
Rome
(
to
shew
with
what
spirit
he
is
led
,
and
with
what
meanes
he
sticketh
to
maintaine
his
Religion
,
which
otherwise
would
fall
to
the
ground
)
so
soone
as
he
heard
of
this
bloudie
tragedie
,
maketh
great
ioy
with
his
Cardinals
,
with
their
procession
,
with
their
gunshot
and
singing
Te
Deum
:
Yea
in
honour
of
that
Act
proclayming
a
Iubile
with
great
indulgence
and
solemnitie
.
For
Flaunders
tell
vs
who
murdered
the
noble
Prince
of
Orange
against
whom
it
was
proclaimed
,
that
who
soeuer
could
bring
him
aliue
or
dead
,
or
slaie
him
should
haue
fiue
and
twentie
thousand
crownes
.
You
shall
finde
that
such
a
Catholike-faith
as
yours
is
,
hath
still
sought
to
maintaine
it selfe
by
such
Catholike
means
as
these
are
,
treasons
,
tumults
,
seditions
,
secret
murders
,
and
such
like
.
As
for
our
true
Christian
Religion
,
it
is
so
cause
of
tumults
,
garboyles
,
and
murders
,
as
Christes
birth
was
of
the
murther
of
the
poore
infants
,
in
which
neither
Christ
nor
the
infants
ought
offended
,
the
madnes
was
in
Herod
and
all
Ierusalem
,
to
be
for
this
cause
in
an
vprore
.
In
a
word
it
is
Herods
Religion
which
seeketh
to
murther
Christ
,
and
the
Christes
,
and
annoynted
of
the
Lord
.
I
proceed

your
aduertisement

And
first
there
hath
beene
in
England
since
this
happie
alteration
&
change
from
popish
superstition
to
Christian
veritie
,
One
God
worshipped
in
spirit
and
truth
,
one
faith
,
one
belief
,
one
forme
of
seruice
in
praier
and
praises
to
God
,
one
number
of
Sacraments
(
which
are
onely
two
by
the
word
of
God
)
one
head
of
the
Church
which
is
Christ
the
Lord
,
as
the
holy
Ghost
testifieth
by
the
Apostle
.
Him
hath
God
appointed
to
be
the
head
of
the
Church
.
And
his
substitute
annointed
,
&
appointed
ouer
vs
is
our
Soueraigne
and
Queene
,
who
is
to
commaund
and
be
obeyed
in
Christ
and
for
Christ
in
all
causes
aswell
ecclesiasticall
as
ciuill
,
and
not
your
proud
vsurping
Priest
at
Rome
;
and
if
you
can
like
to
looke
vpon
the
harmonie
of
confessions
you
shall
find
all
the
Churches
of
Christendome
,
where
the
Gospel
and
truth
of
Christ
Iesus
is
embraced
,
to
be
of

ca.

If
Lactantius
should
iudge
of
your
Religion
he
would
scarce
allow
you
to
worship
God
at
all
,
who
denieth
that
creatures
may
be
worshipped
with
him
:
yeelding
this
reason
,
Si
honos
idem
alijs
tribuitur
,
ipse
omninò
non
colitur
,
cuius
Reltgio
est
,
illum
esse
vnum
,
ac
solum
Deam
credere
:
If
the
same
honour
be
giuen
to
others
,
he
is
not
worshipped
at
all
;
whose
Religion
is
to
beleeue
that
he
is
one
,
and
the
onely
God
.
The
best
that
probablie
may
be
made
of
your
worshipping
is
,
that
it
is
like
the
Religion
,
that
the
Gentiles
learned
,
which
were
brought
from
Assiria
to
inhabite
the
Cities
of
Samaria
;
Likewise
of
your
owne
faith
and
beliefe
might
be
shewed
how
vaine
a
presumption
it
is
,
when
as
you
are
so
miserablie
rent
in
sunder
into
so
innumerable
diuersities
and
sects
of
Friers
,
and
Munkes
,
putting
holines
in
diuers
institutions
of
life
,
some
being
white
,
some
blacke
,
some
wearing
linnen
,
some
wollen
,
some
going
shod
,
some
bare-foote
,
with
infinite
diuersities
more
which
are
by
learned
men
handled
:
It
shall
be
sufficient
for
me
,
onely
to
remember
you
of
the
stirre
betwixt
the
Franciscans
and
Dominicke
Friers
,
about
the
conception
of
the
blessed
Virgin
;
the
Franciscans
or
gray
Friers
affirming
that
she
was
neuer
Subiect
one
moment
in
her
conception
to
originall
sinne
;
the
Dominicke
or
blacke
Friers
teaching
that
she
was
conceiued
in
sinne
,
as
are
all
the
children
of
Adam
,
which
controuersie
occupied
all
schooles
and
vniuersities
almost
throughout
the
whole
Christian
world
,
which
was
at
the
length
doughtelie
decided
by
Pope
Sixtus
the
fourth
,
quite
contrarie
to
that
Word
which
shall
iudge
all
at
the
last
day
.
Of
your
one
head
your
vaunt
is
the
like
,
which
being
the
Pope
,
how
can
you
haue
one
head
,
vnles
you
reiect
Christ
?
If
you
meane
one
visible
and
ministeriall
head
;

Libertie

.
Secondly
,
by
the
establishment
of
true
Christian
Religion
amongst
vs
,
this
great
blessing
we
haue
obtained
,
that
the
Scripture
and
word
of
God
,
which
is
the
incorruptible
seede
whereby
we
are
begotten
to
God
,
the
sincere
milke
that
as
children
nourisheth
vs
with
the
knowledge
of
the
Rudiments
,
and
principles
of
Religion
,
the
foode
of
the
soule
,
which
doth
farther
strengthen
vs
with
increase
of
deeper
knowledge
,
is
no
longer
(
as
of
late
times
)
like
a
sealed
booke
,
which
being
deliuered
to
one
that
can
reade
,
and
he
willed
to
reade
it
,
he
answereth
he
cannot
because
it
is
sealed
:
but
we
haue
it
in
our
owne
mother
language
permitted
vnto
vs
,
that
euery
one
may
priuately
exercise
himselfe
in
the
reading
thereof
,
and
for
the
confirmation
of
his
faith
,
in
the
points
that
he
is
taught
publikely
by
the
mouth
of
the
Preacher
,
may
with
the
men
of
Berrhea
daily
search
the
Scriptures
to
see
whether
those
things
be
so
or
not
;
which
triall
the
doctrine
of
Rome
will
hardly
submit
it selfe
to
.
And
this
dutie
of
searching
the
Scriptures
at
home
priuatly
,
Chrisostome
requireth
at
the
hands
of
his
Auditors
:
de
La●●
.
Idque
semper
hortor
,
&c.
and
this
I
alwaies
exhort
,
and
will
not
cease
to
exhort
that
you
be
not
onely
attentiue
here
to
those
things
which
are
taught
,
but
that
when
you
are
at
home
you
daily
intend
the
reading
of
the
holy
Scriptures
;
and
so
I
take
it
that
Saint
Iohn
setteth
down
three
steps
,
or
degrees
,
whereby
we
are
to
climbe
vp
to
blessednes
:
first
priuat
reading
;
secondly
publike
hearing
;
thirdly
fruitfull
practising
of
those
things
which
by
reading
and
hearing
we
learne
.
Blessed
is
he
that
readeth
,
and
they
that
heare
the
words
of
this
prophesie
,
and
keepeth
those
things
that
are
written
therein
.
Thirdly
,
this
is
also
a
great
blessing
,

Publike

that
we
haue
our
publike
prayers
in

vnderstand

though

By
this
doctrine
of

we
haue
to
vnderstand
,
that
it
is
better
for
the
edification
of
the
Church
that
the
publike
praiers
which
are
made
in
the

of

should
be

common

Exercise
in
true
holines
.
Hence
it
followeth
,
that
we
learne
to
exercise
our selues
in
workes
of
true
pietie
,
such
as
by
the
word
of
God
we
are
assured
are
acceptable
with
him
,
not
putting
holines
in
workes
of
mens
deuising
,
as
superstitious
obseruation
of
daies
,
with
like
difference
of
meates
,
in
gadding
on
pilgrimage
and
such
like
,
of
which
may
be
said
,
that
which
the
Lord
spake
in
Esay
:
Who
hath
required
these
things
at
your
hands
?
Thomas
Becket
,
was
beset
with
Diamonds
,
Carbuncles
,
with
pearles
and
rare
precious
stones
,
Vilissima
pars
erat
aurum
,
the
basest
part
was
gold
.
But
we
(
blessed
be
God
)
haue
learned
to
make
the
will
of
God
reuealed
in
his
word
,
the
Rule
and
Squire
of
our
obedience
,
studying
to
walke
in
his
waies
,
and
to
keepe
his
commaundements
both
of
the
first
and
second
table
,
according
to
that
of
our
Sauiour
,
If
you
know
these
things
happie
are
ye
if
you
doe
them
:
wherein
we
are
taught
to
striue
against
two
extremities
.
First
proud
presumption
before
God
,
that
we
put
no
opinion
of
merit
in
our
workes
,
but
referre
Let
your
light
so
shine
before
men
,
&c.
partly
to
the
assuring
our selues
of
our
election
by
the
fruits
thereof
,
as
Peter
exhorteth
,
Make
your
election
sure
by
good
works
,
acknowledging
that
of
Bernard
,
Bona
opera
sunt
via
regni
,
non
causa
regnandi
:
Good
workes
are
the
way
wherein
we
must
walke
to
the
kingdom
of
Heauen
,
but
not
the
cause
wherefore
we
shall
obtaine
the
kingdome
.
Secondly
,
before
Pharisee
:
O
God
I
thanke
thee
I
am
not
as
other
men
,
extortioners
,
vniust
,
or
euen
as

Freedome
from
persecution
.
Father
,
the
entrance
of
our
peaceable
Salome
to
the
Crowne
,
what
Halcyon
daies
hath
it
brought
to
the
poore
afflicted
Church
of
Christ
●
The
little
barke
of
Christ
Iesus
before
tossed
with
the
waues
and
stormes
of
furious
and
bloodie
persecution
,
hath
now
found
some
repose
and
rest
vnder
her
gracious
and
benigne
protection
:
so
mercifully
hath
Christ
rebuked
the
stormes
and
windes
,
when
the
shippe
was
in
danger
of
drowning
,
and
there
is
followed
a
great
calme
.
Not
onely
they
that
were
openly
knowne
to
abhor
the
Romish
Idolatrie
,
refusing
to
bowe
the
knee
to
their
blocke-almightie
(
as
some
then
called
them
)
and
to
honor
a
peece
of
a
Cake
as
their
Creator
,
were
by
heapes
brought
to
the
fire
:
but
so
violent
was
the
furie
of
that
Wooluish
Sinagogue
,
against
the
poore
Lambes
of
Christs
fold
,
that
through
inforcement
and
by
vertue
of
their
oath
,
were
compelled
to
accuse
,
(
against
the
law
of
nature
)
the
wife
the
husband
,
one
brother
another
,
&c.
as
in
a
table
of
persecution
vnder
Bishop
Longland
of
Lincolne
doth
appeare
,
the
bloody
rage
of
this
persecution
sparing
neither
man
,
woman
,
nor
child
,
wife
,
nor
maide
,
lame
,
blinde
,
nor
creeple
.
But
of
this
what
should
I
say
more
,
of
which
nothing
can
be
said
sufficiently
?
but
as
a
paineful
compiler
of
the
ecclesiasticall
Historie
thinketh
,
all
places
considered
where
the
Romish
Phalaris
hath
intermedled
,
France
Flanders
,
Italy
,
Spayne
,
and
whersoeuer
the
gripes
of
this
greedie
griffin
(
as
Chaucer
compareth
him
)
could
r●ach
:
it
would
be
hard
to
say
,
whether
the
Romane
heathen
Emperors
in
the
prime-daies
of
the
Church
,
or
the
Romish
Bishops
in
the
latter
,
had
caused
more
Christian
bloud
to
be
spilt
.
And
whereas
this
Encounterer
wringeth
out
a
malediction
from
hence
,
pretending
by
this
chaunge
of
Religion
,
the
torturing
,
hanging
,
and
racking
of
so
many
learned
Priests
,
&c.
he
shall
neuer
be
able
to
proue
(
so
farre
as
euer
I
could
learne
)
that
any
one
,
either
Priest
or
Lay-man
,
learned
or
vnlearned
,
hath
in
this
land
these
fortie
yeares
,
beene
put
to
death
onely
for
being
a
Recusant
,
and
of
a
contrarie
Religion
;
as
the
libertie
and
home-dwelling
of
so
many
Recufants
,
without
dread
of
any
such
daunger
,
may
proue
sufficiently
.
The
Wolfe
persecuteth
the
Lamb
,
not
the
Lambe
the
Wolfe
.
As
for
those
fewe
which
haue
suffered
in
these
fortie
yeares
,
not
comparable
to
the
number
of
those
which
were
martyred
in
Queene
Maries
fiue
yeares
,
I
am
so
farre
off
from
reioycing
at
their
death
,
that
with
all
my
heart
I
wish
,
they
had
neuer
sucked
the
poyson
of
treason
from
your
Iesuites
breastes
,
that
so
they
might
haue
preuented
the
due
and
iust
shedding
of
their
owne
bloods
.
To
these

Deliuerance
from
intollerable
exactions
.
among
which
this
is
not
the
least
,
that
the
establishment
of
true
Religion
hath
quite
remoued
from
our
neckes
the
yoke
of
popish
bondage●
How
miserablie
this
poore
land
was
oppressed
and
impouerished
by
the
Popes
dispensations
,
exactions
,
contributions
,
besides
his
continuall
subsidie
of
Peter-pence
(
nothing
being
able
to
satisfie
his
greedie
appetite
,
and
insatiable
auarice
)
our
stories
in
sundry
places
make
lamentable
mention
.
Now
he
must
haue
the
tenth
of
all
the
moueables
in
England
,
Wales
and
Ireland
,
then
foure
markes
of
euerie
able
Church
;
and
where
one
was
not
able
to
reach
,
there
the
other
poore
Churches
must
ioyne
to
make
vp
the
money
:
shortly
by
a
new
Mandat
all
beneficed
men
must
pay
the
first
part
of
their
reuenues
,
then
prouision
of
English
benefices
for
boyes
of
Rome
300.
at
a
clappe
,
and
what
not
?
Poore
England
was
continually
pilled
and
polled
,
and
almost
suckt
drie
,
whereof
(
to
vse
one
example
for
many
)
the
Nobles
ioyntly
with
the
Commons
,
complain
in
the
Raigne
of
Henrie
the
third
;
in
which
their
complaint
hauing
made
mention
of
the
continuall
subsidie
of
Peter-pence
,
And
now
see
,
wee
beseech
you
,
(
which
is
lamentable
to
behold
)
what
iniuries
we
sustaine
by
you
and
your
predecessors
,
who
not
considering
those
our
subsidies
,
and
contributions
before
remembred
,
doe
suffer
also
your
Italians
and
forrayners
(
which
be
out
of
number
)
to
be
possessed
of
our
Churches
and
benefices
in
England
,
&c.
And
immediatly
,
which
forrayners
neither
defending
the
said
religious
persons
,
neither
hauing
the
language
,
whereby
they
might
instruct
the
flocke
,
take
no
regard
of
their
soules
,
but
vtterly
leaue
them
of
wilde
beastes
to
be
deuoured
:
Wherefore
it
may
truly
be
said
of
them
,
that
they
are
no
good
shepheards
,
for
that
neither
they
doe
know
their
sheepe
,
nor
the
sheepe
doe
know
the
voice
of
their
shepheards
;
neither
doe
they
keepe
any
hospitalitie
,
but
onely
take
vp
the
rents
of
those
benefices
,
carrying
them
out
of
the
Realme
,
wherewith
our
brethren
,
our
nephewes
,
and
our
kinsfolkes
might
be
sustained
,
who
could
and
would
dwell
vpon
them
,
and
employ
such
exercises
of
mercy
and
hospitality
as
their
dutie
required
,
whereof
a
number
for
meere
necessitie
now
are
lay-men
,
and
faine
to
flie
out
of
the
Realme
.
And
now
to
the
intent
more
fully
to
certifie
you
of
the
truth
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
the
said
Italians
and
strangers
receiuing
of
yeerely
rents
out
of
England
not
so
little
as
threescore
thousand
markes
by
yeare
,
(
besides
other
auailes
and
exises
deducted
)
do
reape
in
the
said
our
kingdome
of
England
more
emoluments
of
meere
Rents
then
doth
the
King
himselfe
,
being
both
Tutour
of
the
Church
and
Gouernour
of
the
land
,
&c.
they
further
proceeded
in
their
complaint
which
for
breuity
sake
I
omit
.
The
conclusion
is
,
miserably
was
this
land
oppressed
vnder
the
Romish
Pharaoh
,
not
onely
the
skinne
flayed
from
the
flesh
,
but
the
flesh
in
a
manner
rent
from
the
bones
,
from
which
by
this
happy
chaunge
of
Religion
wee
are
deliuered
,
the
Lords
name
be
praised
therefore
.
The
name
of

is

Long

and
the
thing
it selfe
both
pleasant
and
profitable
,
with
which
blessing
the
Lord
hath
also
greatly
blessed
this
land
these
fortie
yeeres
,
that
in
this
respect
her
Maiesties
raigne
hath
beene
as
the
raigne
of
Asa
,
of
whom
it
is
written
,
that
he
had
no
warre
in
those
daies
,
for
the
Lord
his
God
had
sent
him
peace
round
about
.
For
,
as
for
the
late
tumults
and
stirres
of
Ireland
,
it
is
euident
to
whom
they
are
to
be
ascribed
by
the
sending
thither
of
Saunders
and
of
Italian
bandes
by
the
Pope
,
who
is
the
common
Trumpeter
of
Sedition
in
all
Christian
Common-weales
,
which
seeke
to
shake
off
the
yoke
of
his
tyrannie
:
There
kindled
(
vpon
the
like
occasion
)
the
flame
of
Rebellion
in
the
North
,
but
(
blessed
be
God
)
it
vanished
quickly
like
a
smoke
,
Spayne
likewise
attempted
an
inuasion
,
but
with
such
successe
,
as
neither
hath
he
cause
to
boast
of
his
winnings
,
nor
wee
to
complaine
of
our
losses
;
for
as
the
starres
fought
in
their
course
for
Israel
against
Sisera
,
so
did
the
windes
for
England
against
Spayne
:
other
warres
to
speake
of
,
we
haue
had
none
,
but
such
as
we
haue
voluntarily
vnder-taken
,
for
the
reliefe
and
support
of
those
that
were
oppressed
.
And
this
it selfe
is
no
small
blessing
,
that
England
in
the
raigne
of
a
Woman

with

so
that

as

amongst

hereof

What
should
I
speake
of
Suethland
&

?
what
of
Flaunders
,
being
receiued
into
our
tuition

and
societie
?
yea
the
Turke
himselfe
(

her
enterance
she
found

And
if
the
Encounterer
in
his
affected
shew
of
politicke
wisedome
,
shall
scorne
this
blessing
,
and
say
(
as
he
doth
)
that
I
descend
to
very
poore
ones
:
yet
I
will
rather
subscribe
to
the
wisedome
of
Gods
spirit
noting
it
a
great
blessing
vpon
Ierusalem
,
and
the
contrarie
a
great
curse
:
How
doth
the
Citie
remaine
solitarie
that
was
full
of
people
?
In
the
multitude
of
people
is
the
honour
of
a
King
,
and
for
the
want
of
people
commeth
the
destruction
of
a
Prince
.
O●
that

would
therefore
praise
the

Resistance
to
the
second
Encounter
,
about
some
absurd
Principles
of
the
Papists
.
HAuing
proposed
to
my selfe
a
resolute
determination
,
not
to
follow
this
fellow
(
in
mine
answere
)
in
his
vaine
of
Rayling
against
me
:
it
shal
suffice
,
that
such
as
be
wise
,
honourable
,
and
honest
shall
iudge
betweene
vs
,
whose
satisfaction
I
desire
and
doubt
not
of
,
and
to
such
I
appeale
to
iudge
of
the
scantling
he
hath
taken
(
as
he
termeth
it
)
of
my
follie
and
flatterie
,
wherein
he
glorieth
so
much
,
and
I
rest
assured
he
shall
find
that
it
falleth
out
too
s●ant
inproofe
against
me
in
their
iudgements
,
so
as
his
rayling
tearmes
of
folly
and
flatterie
must
returne
to
his
owne
custodie
againe
.
And
here
first
you
except
against
my
speech
of
the
clouds
,
and
darknes
,
that
ouershadowed
this
land
in
Queene
Maries
time
,
and
in
former
times
of
Poperie
,
cyting
these
my
words
.
It
is
not
vnknowne
to
many
yet
liuing
,
neyther
can
it
be
hid
from
the
yonger
sort
that
liue
with
them
,
what
a
darke
misty
cloud
of
Ignorance
(
which
brought
in
popish
Idolatry
and
all
manner
of
superstition
)
did
ouershadow
the
whole
land
,
&c.
And
againe
after
,
In
these
dark
and
cloudy
daies
least
the
sunshine
of
knowledge
should
disperse
the
mists
of
ignorance
,
and
giue
light
to
the
dimme
of
sight
,
&c.
Once
Christian
men
had
blind
Churches
,
and
light
hearts
;
and
now
they
haue
blinde
hearts
,
and
light
Churches
.
But
this
omitted
,
the
very
exercise
of
preaching
,
(
such
as
it
was
)
alas
how
sildome
was
it
?
now
and
then
a
Frier
trotting
sometimes
to
one
Church
,
sometimes
to
another
,
and
scattering
here

there
a
strawberrie
Sermon
.
It
was
no
common
thing
for
Bishops
,
in
times
of
Poperie
,
to
be
Preachers
,
though
they
tooke
vpon
them
to

Boner
Bishop
of
London
,
Thomas
Hawkes
was
before
him
,
and
alleaging
against
the
Popish
manner
of
baptising
,
both
the
addition
of
many
ceremonies
deuised
by
man
,
as
their
oyle
,
creame
,
salt
,
spittle
,
candle
,
coniuring
of
water
,
&c.
as
also
that
they
wanted
the
chiefe
thing
,
meaning
preaching
,
alleaging
the
text
:
Goe
teach
all
Nations
baptising
them
,
&c.
by
and
by
replieth
vpon
Master
Hawkes
,
The
onely
example
of
Doctor
Bassinet
,
a
man
of
great
learning
and
authoritie
in
France
,
shall
suffice
me
at
this
time
,
who
in
his
first
answere
to
the
oration
of
the
Bishop
of
Aix
;
(
perswading
to
set
vpon
the
Merindo●ians
,
The
cause
why
in
conscience
I
am
thus
disquieted
is
this
,
that
now
of
late
,
since
I
haue
giuen
my selfe
more
diligently
to
the
reading
and
contemplation
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
I
perceiue
that
the
most
part
of
those
Articles
which
they
that
are
called
Lutherans
doe
maintaine
,
are
so
conformable
and
agreeing
to
the
Scriptures
,
that
for
my
part
,
I
can
no
longer
gainsay
them
,
except
I
should
euen
wilfully
and
maliciously
resist
and
striue
against
the
holy
ordinances
of
God
:
albeit
hitherto
,
to
maintaine
the
honour
of
our
holy
Mother
the
Church
,
and
of
our
holy
Father
the
Pope
,
and
of
our
Order
,
I
haue
consented
to
the
opinions
and
doings
of
the
other
Doctors
,
as
well
through
ignorance
,
as
also
because
I
would
not
seeme
to
attempt
any
thing
against
the
will
and
pleasur●
of
the
Prelates
,
and
Vicars
generall
.
Against
which
his
confession
;
when
the
Bishop
of
Aix
replied
thus
,
Is
there
any
difference
thinkest
thou
,
betwixt
heresies
and
blasphemies
spoken
and
maintained
against
the
holy
Scriptures
,
and
opinions
holden
against
our
holy
Mother
the
Church
,
and
contrarie
to
our
holy
Father
the
Pope
,
a
most
vndoubted
and
true
God
in
earth
?
Art
thou
a
Master
in
Israel
and
knowest
not
these
things
?
Are
not
they
those
which
haue
forsaken
Iesus
Christ
the
fountaine
of
liuing
water
,
and
haue
digged
vnto
themselues
pits
,
or
Cesterns
which
will
holde
no
water
?
Truly
euen
those
they
are
,
which
vaunt
themselues
to
be
the
salte
of
the
earth
,
and
yet
haue
no
sauour
at
all
,
which
call
themselues
Pastors
,
and
yet
are
nothing
lesse
then
true
Pastors
:
for
they
minister
not
vnto
the
sheepe
the
true
pasture
and
feeding
,
neither
deuide
and
distribute
the
true
bread
of
the
word
of
life
,
and
(
if
I
may
bee
bolde
to
speake
it
)
would
it
not
be
at
this
present
as
great
a
wonder
to
heare
a
Bishop
preach
,
as
to
see
an
Asse
flye
?
Are
not
they
cursed
of
God
,
which
glorie
and
vaunt
themselues
to
haue
the
keyes
of
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
,
and
neither
enter
in
themselues
,
nor
suffer
them
that
would
enter
to
come
in
,
&c.
By
which
and
infinite
other
euidences
may
appeare
,
that
there
is
in
a
manner
as
great
difference
betwixt
kingdomes
professing
the
Gospell
of
Christ
(
as
this
land
now
doth
through
Gods
blessing
)
and
those
that
are
subiect
to
Poperie
,
as
was
sometimes
betweene
Aegypt
and
Goshen
.
England
had
continued
aboue
a
thousand
yeares
vnder
that
darkenes
of
Poperie
,
(
the
vanitie
whereof
is
by
sundry
learned
men
discouered
)
it
is
euident
by
Beda
his
plaine
testimonie
in
these
words
,
Haec
in
praesenti
iuxta
numerum
librorum
quibus
lex
diuina
scripta
est
,
&c.
This
I
,
land
at
this
present
,
according
to
the
number
of
the
bookes
in
which
the
lawe
of
God
is
written
,
doth
search
out
and
confesse
one
and
the
selfe
same
knowledge
of
the
highest
truth
,
and
of
the
true
height
in
liue
tongues
,
namely
of
the
Angels
,
of
the
Brittaines
,
of
the
Scots
,
of
the
Picts
,
and
of
the
Latines
,
which
in
meditation
of
the
Scripture
is
made
common
to
all
the
rest
.
Wherein
he
meaneth
that
the
Latin
tongue
was
common
to
all
the
learned
of
those
foure
peoples
,
as
the
vulgars
were
to
the
vnlearned
.
So
that
in
former
times
this
Iland
had
the
Scriptures
in
their
owne
tongue
,
to
be
a
lanterne
to
their
feete
,
and
a
light
to
their
steps
,
and
delighted
not
in
ignorance
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
in
darkenes
(
as
of
late
)
as
also
the
most
and
chiefest
points
of
your
blinde
errors
haue
been
hatched
long
since
the
time
you
prescribe
,
as
in
the
particulars
of
the
patching
together
of
the
Masse
by
degrees
,
and
successiuely
,
of
the
absurd
doctrine
of
Transubstantiation
,
with
other
like
,
is
by
men
of
great
learning
and
iudgment
manifestly
proued
.
Yet
by
the
way
this
I
note
,
that
by
your
secret
confession
you
yeeld
almost
600.
yeares
to
the
truth
we
professe
,
before
your
Religion
was
hatched
,
seeing
both
your selfe
and
others
commonly
make
claime
for
a
1000.
yeares
.
But
to
passe
by
this
,
And
it
was
accounted
then
as
wise
,
learned
,
valiant
,
noble
,
and
flourishing
a
kingdome
,
as
France
,
Italy
Spayne
,
&c.
An
argument
by
which
the
Religion
of
the
heathens
may
aswell
be
freed
from
darknes
and
ignorance
.
For
was
not
Rome
when
it
had
those
lightes
of
learning
and
eloquence
,
Cicero
,
Crassus
,
Hortensius
,
and
others
;
as
also
those
famous
and
wise
both
Counsellors
,
and
Captaines
Marius
,
Scilla
,
Pompey
,
Caesar
,
Cato
,
Scipio
,
and
such
like
,
was
not
(
I
say
)
Rome
then
accounted
as
wise
,
learned
,
valiant
,
noble
,
and
flourishing
a
kingdom
,
as
France
,
Italy
,
Spaine
,
or
any
other
Christian
kingdomes
be
at
this
day
?
and
yet
it
is
true
,
that
their
knowledge
was
ignorance
,
and
their
light
darkenes
,
vnlesse
the
Apostle
be
deceiued
,
who
saith
of
them
all
generally
,
Their
foolish
heart
was
full
of
darkenes
,
and
when
they
professed
themselues
to
be
wise
,
they
became
fooles
.

But
(
Sir
)
I
haue
granted
onely
by
way
of
supposition
(
that
which
in
truth
is
not
to
be
granted
)
that
your
men
are
so
superiour
to
ours
in
learning
,
Iohn

voluntarily
to

Councell
of

goeth
to

by
disputation
to
defend

Doctrine
,
Againe
vnder
safe
conduct

goeth

,
Simon
Grinaeus
heard
Faber
Bishop
of
Vienna
vtter
sundrie
absurd
errors
in
his
Sermon
:
he
goeth
friendly
to
him
,
and
telleth
him
he
was
sory
,
that
a
man
of
such
learning
and
authoritie
,
should
openly
maintaine
such
errours
,
as
were
both
contumelious
against
God
,
and
might
be
refuted
by
the
manifest
testimonies
of
the
Scriptures
:
and
as
he
would
further
haue
proceeded
to
the
refuting
of
his
errors
,
Faber
breaketh
off
his
talke
,
faineth
as
though
he
had
been
sent
for
by
the
King
,
and
had
now
no
leasure
to
reason
with
him
in
the
matter
,
but
maketh
shew
that
he
was
desirous
of
acquaintance
and
longer
talke
with
Grinaeus
,
and
to
that
end
prayeth
him
the
next
morning
to
come
to
his
Chamber
.
Now
what
was
the
sequele
of
the
disputation
,
or
conference
appointed
by
this
learned
Bishop
?
The
Bishop
complaineth
to
the
King
,
the
Serieants
were
sent
to
apprehend
Grinaeus
and
carrie
him
to
prison
,
whereof
he
being
warned
a
little
before
,
by
a
reuerent
aged
man
,
was
by
his
friends
immediatly
conueyed
ouer
the
Rhene
,
and
so
escaped
;
who
if
he
had
been
taken
(
as
the
Serieants
were
to
search
the
house
for
him
almost
assoone
as
he
was
out
of
doores
)
what
would
further
haue
ensued
of
this
pretended
conference
is
not
hard
to
gesse
.
To
be
short
,
you
may
not
forget
in
what
a
pittifull
taking
your
Cardinall
of
Lorrayne
was
in
the
Colloquie
of
Poissy
,
Vnto
which
clouds
,
mists
,
and
darknes
,
was
added
,
and
wherewith
was
mixed
,
all
bloodie
and
sauage
crueltie
against
those
that
desired
knowledge
,
and
were
any
may
〈◊〉
by
Gods
grace
with
a
glimmering
at
small
insight
into
true
Religion
:
for
though
it
were
but
onely
a
desireth
reade
vpon
the
booke
of
God
,
either
olde
or
new
Testament
,
then
Hereticke
was
his
title
,
heresie
was
his
●ault
,
and
for
this
was
he
called
before
the
Romish
Cleargie
to
receiue
their
censure
,
and
such
neuer
departed
from
their
cloathes
till
they
had
branded
them
to
the
slaughter
.
To
which
after
many
scoffes
he
saith
,
That
he
is
sorrie
the
writer
of
that
booke
calleth
himselfe
Knight
,
to
whom
in
law
of
Chiualrie
a
man
should
not
giue
the
lye
,
but
with
obligation
to
defend
it
in
the
fielde
.
Whereunto
I
brieflie
reply
for
this
time
,
that
if
this
masked
companion
will
put
off
his
vizzard
and
shew
his
face
,
that
I
may
know
who
speaketh
to
me
,
I
will
(
through
the
assistance
of
my
God
)
not
onely
lay
before
him
his
shameles
reprochfull
slaunders
,
against
my
Soueraigne
and
her
gouernment
,
and
words
of
disgrace
to
my selfe
,
but
also
make
him
such
further
answere
,
as
fitteth
his
demerits
and
my
place
:
in
the
meane
time
I
list
not
to
fight
with
a
shadow
,
nor
to
howte
at
the
Owle
that
flieth
by
night
.
To
come
to
the
matter
,
out
of
this
one
period
this
artificiall
Vulcan
forgeth
two
vntruths
properly
called
lyes
(
as
he
saith
)
which
he
imputeth
to
me
:
the
first
,
that
I
say
To
reade
on
the
booke
of
God
,
was
held
to
be
part
of
an
heretike
:
The
second
,
That
for
this
cause
(
onely
)
men
were
called
before
the
Romish
Cleargie
in
England
and
branded
to
the
slaughter
.
But
soft
Sir
,
you
shall
finde
it
harder
to
conuince
me
of
one
lye
,
then
to
charge
me
with
many
,
for
both
in
making
and
giuing
lyes
,
you
haue
a
singular
gift
,
and
rare
dexteritie
.
For
concerning
the
first
,
Iohn
Lambert
as
an
hereticall
opinion
,
that
heads
and
rulers
are
bound
by
necessitie
of
saluation
,
to
giue
the
holy
Scriptures
to
the
people
in
the
mother
language
?
Doe
not
your
Rhemists
in
the
preface
of
their
translation
of
the
new
Testament
say
,
they
doe
not
publish
it
vpon
erronious
opinion
,
of
necessitie
,
that
the
Scriptures
should
bee
alwaies
in
our
mother
tongue
,
or
that
they
ought
or
were
ordeined
by
God
to
bee
read
indifferently
of
all
?
Now
if
to
thinke
the
Scriptures
may
be
read
indifferently
of
all
,
be
in
your
iudgement
an
hereticall
opinion
;
then
for
men
so
to
read
them
is
in
your
iudgement
an
hereticall
action
,
whereof
I
would
wee
had
not
so
many
proofes
.
But
in
any
of
the
three
learned
tongues
,
Hebrew
,
Greeke
,
and
Latine
(
saith
the
Encounterer
)
none
was
euer
deba●red
to
reade
them
:
this
Sir
is
but
a
flourish
to
face
out
the
matter
,
and
a
coppie
of
your
countenance
to
make
as
though
you
were
willing
Scripture
should
be
read
of
all

An
Italian
Bishop
tolde
Espencaeus
a
great
Diuine
of
Paris
,
that
his
Countrimen
were
terrified
from
reading
the
Scriptures
least
so
they
should
become
hereticks
:
Espencaeus
then
demaunded
,
What
studie
then
doe
your
Countrimen
professe
?
The
Bishop
answered
,
The
studie
of
both
the
lawes
Ciuill
and
Canon
,
but
principally
of
the
Canon
law
.
Doe
some
Bishops
amongst
you
iudge
the
reading
of
the
Scriptures
so
dangerous
,
that
they
abstaine
from
it
for
feare
to
be
made
heretickes
,
and
yet
will
you
face
vs
out
with
permitting
laye
men
to
reade
them
in
Hebrew
,
Greeke
,
or
Latine
?
Let
Sorbon
it selfe
be
witnes
,
how
your
Cleargie
men
were
wont
to
be
exercised
in
the
reading
of
the
Scriptures
.
For
amongst
the
many
conflicts
which
Robertus
Stephanus
had
with
diuers
of
these
learned
Sorbonists
about
the
newe
Testament
printed
by
Collinaeus
,
when
he
asked
some
of
them
in
what
place
of
the
new
Testament
it
was
written
,
they
would
answere
they
had
read
in
Ierome
,
or
in
the
decrees
,
but
what
the
new
Testament
was
they
could
not
tell
:
and
againe
another
great
Clerke
of
that
Colledge
was
wont
about
that
time
verie
often
to
say
.
I
wonder
that
these
young
men
alleage
to
vs
the
new
Testament
,
by
this
day
,
I
had
spent
more
then
fiftie
yeeres
,
ere
I
could
tell
what
the
new
Testament
was
.
What
should
I
stand
further
eyther
to
prooue
that
ye
account
it
heresie
for
lay
men
indifferently
to
read
the
Scriptures
(
which
all
men
know
ye
doe
)
or
to
disproue
the
grossenes
of
your
opinion
in
so
forbidding
the
reading
of
the
Scriptures
,
which
out
of
the
Scriptures
themselues
,
and
sundrie
testimonies
of
godly
Fathers
,
as
also
examples
of
ancient
times
translating
the
Scriptures
into
vulgar
tongues
,
is
by
sundrie
euidently
proued
,
ye
ought
not
to
doe
.
To
passe
therefore
to
the
second
supposed
vntruth
which
you
set
downe
to
be
this
,
men
were
called
before
the
Romish
Clergie
in
England
,
and
branded
to
the
slaughter
.
To
iustifying
whereof
before
I
proceed
,
giue
me
leaue
to
tell
you
,
that
this
word
(
onely
)
by
you
thrust
into
my
words
,
is
one
lye
of
your
coyning
,
though
not
the
onely
one
lye
:
for
what
though
to
some
of
their
charges
were
laid
other
like
articles
?
Doth
that
make
that
this
was
not
accounted
a
point
of
an
heretike
to
read
the
scriptures
in
English
?
and
that
for
this
men
were
called
before
your
Clergie
?
As

example

and

accnsed
,
coudemned
,
and
burned
,
onely
because
he
said
his
maker
was
in
Heauen
,
and
not
in
the
Pix
,
no
other
thing
being
laid
to
his
charge
:
If
at
his
iudgement
some
other
articles
had
been
obiected
to
him
,
would
it
not
haue
been
true
for
all
that
,
that
to
say
his
maker
was
in
Heauen
,
and
not
in
the
Pix
,
was
counted
heresie
and
for
that
cause
men
were
called
before
your
Clergie
,
and
branded
to
the
slaughter
?
Our
stories
are
full
of
examples
out
of
your
owne
Registers
,
that
reading
of
Scriptures
,
was
accounted
heresie
,
not
to
stand
vpon
many
,
vnder
Longland
Bishop
of
Lincolne
,
Agnes
Welles
was
conuented
,
and
amongst
other

:
Agnes

for

certaine
sentences
of

,
as
Teend

put

&
such
like
.
To
Robert
Pope

Iohn

obiected
,
that
they

To

obiected

Ienkin
Butler
appeached
Iohn
Butler
his
owne
brother
for
reading
to
him
in
a
certaine
booke
of
the
Scripture
,
and
perswading
him
to
hearken
to
the
same
:
what

any

called

before
whom
many
were
conuented
for
that
holy
heresy
of
reading
the
Scriptures
:
In
number
of
whom
,
one
going
to
be
burned
for
an
heretike
,
and
seeing
the
booke
of
the
Reuelation
bound
to
the
stake
,
to
be
burnt
with
him
(
which
happely
he
had
diligently
read
,
being
thereto
moued
with
that
sentence
:
Blessed
is
he
that
readeth
,
and
they
that
heare
the
words
of
this
prophecie
)
spake
with
a
lowde
voice
these
words
,
O
blessed
Reuelation
,
how
well
is
it
with
mee
,
that
I
shall
be
burnt
with
thee
!
Infinite
such
examples
might
be
shewed
not
onely
in
our
owne
countrie
,
but
in
forraine
kingdomes
.
I
will
alleadge
onely
one
example
of
a
godly
Bookeseller
of
Auignion
in
France
.
Ibidem
pa.
863.
The
Bishop
of
Aix
with
other
Prelates
passing
through
the
streets
,
euerie
one
leading
his
Minion
vpon
his
arme
,
and
buying
vp
such
filthie
pictures
and
rimes
as
were
then
to
be
sold
,
I
renounce
my
part
of
Paradice
if
this
be
not
a
Lutheran
.
So
commaunding
him
to
be
apprehended
,
he
was
by
the
Prelates
attendants
most
despitefully
handled
,
some
crying
out
,
a
Lutheran
,
a
Lutheran
,
to
the
fire
with
him
,
to
the
fire
with
him
:
some
beating
him
with
their
fistes
,
some
pulling
him
by
the
beard
,
others
by
the
haire
,
that
the
poore
man
was
all
embrued
in
blood
before
he
came
to
the
prison
.
The
next
morning
being
brought
before
the
Iudges
in
the
presence
of
the
Prelats
,
the
selling
of
bibles
in
French
was
laide
to
his
charge
,
&
he
was
asked
,
whether
he
knew
not
the
Bible
to
be
forbidden
in
all
christendome
,
saue
onely
in
Latine
.
To
which
he
answered
,
that
he
knew
the
contrarie
,
and
that
he
had
sold
many
Bibles
in
the
French
tongue
with
the
Emperors
Priuiledge
,
with
other
words
reprouing
their
forbidding
of
Gods
most
holy
bookes
,
which
he
ordained
for
the
instructing
of
the
ignorant
,
and
for
the
reducing
againe
into
the
way
such
as
haue
gone
astray
:
the
charitable
Prelates
cried
out
,
haue
him
to
the
fire
without
any
more
words
;
the
Iudge
yet
paused
,
willing
him
to
acknowledge
those
Prelates
to
be
true
Pastors
of
the
Church
,
which
he
denying
that
he
could
doe
with
a
good
conscience
,
sith
they
reiected
the
holy
bookes
of
God
,
he
was
immediatly
condemned
to
be
burned
,
and
the
selfe
same
day
executed
,
and
for
a
signe
and
token
of
the
cause
of
his
condemnation
,
he
carried
to
the
place
of
his
execution
two
Bibles
hanged
about
his
necke
:
and
so
exhorting
the
people
to
read
the
Scriptures
,
he
was
for
this
cause
onely
cruelly
put
to
death
.
Who
then
can
doubt
,
but
that
the
Romish
Clergie
are
the
true
heires
and
successors
of
those
cruell
Tyrants
,
Antiochus
,
Dioclesian
,
Maximinus
,
&c.
Who
like
them
haue
burned
in
the
fire
not
only
the
Scriptures
of
God
,
but
also
the
bodies
of
them
that
read
therein
,
and
that
to
them
it
may
be
applied
,
that
which
is
written
in
the
Machabees
.
The
bookes
of
the
law
which
they
found
,
they
burnt
in
the
fire
and
cut
in
peeces
.
Whosoeuer
had
a
booke
of
the
Testament
found
by
him
,
or
who
soeuer
consented
vnto
the
law
,
the
kings
commandement
(
the
Bishops
may
we
say
)
was
,
they
should
put
him
to
death
by
their
authoritie
.
I
had
thought
this
gentleman
had
runne
himselfe
out
of
breath
in
charging
me
with
lies
and
fictions
:
but
now
follow
foure
more
(
saith
he
)
but
(
I
say
)
his
loude
quadruple
lye
shall
cleare
and
discharge
me
of
all
.
The
first
is
that
I
say
Ignorance
was
held
by
them
to
be
the
Mother
of
Deuotion
:
That
ignorance
of
the
Scriptures
is
the
mother
of
Popish
deuotion
.
For
what
meant
the
so
strict
forbidding
to
laye
men
the
reading
of
the
Scriptures
in
the
vulgar
tongue
?
Search
the
Scriptures
,
for
in
them
you
thinke
to
haue
eternall
life
,
and
they
are
they
that
testifie
of
me
;
where
the
reason
annexed
to
the
Commandement
,
sheweth
to
whom
the
Commaundement
appertaineth
,
euen
to
as
many
as
it
concerneth
to
seeke
after
eternall
life
,
and
to
know
Iesus
Christ
and
him
crucified
,
which
is
the
laytie
no
lesse
then
the
Cleargie
;
contrarie
also
to
the
Apostles
exhortation
to
the
Colossians
being
laye

Let
the

of

dwell
plenteously

And

receiues
the

that
others
thought
to

,
To
examine
a
little
the
state
of
this
Becket
,
who
was
a
traitor
(
as
I
affirme
,
&
not
I
onelie
but
many
before
me
)
against
Henrie
the
second
,
but
(
to
vse
the
words
of
mine
Author
)
taken
vp
and
shrined
for
a
newe
Saint
made
of
an
olde
Rebell
,
fiftie
yeeres
after
his
death
,
which
was
in
the
fourth
yeere
of
Henrie
the
third
.
I
doe
openly
professe
(
to
auoide
all
such
carpers
and
quarrell-pickers
as
this
fellow
is
)
to
separate
betweene
his
punishment
and
death
,
and
betwixt
his
cause
and
carriage
against
his
Prince
.
The
first
being
outragious
against
all
law
and
order
,
by
priuate
persons
,
not
publikely
authorised
therto
:
the
second
traiterous
and
meritorious
of
death
,
the
king
hauing
to
that
end
iust
matter
enough
,
if
he
had
pleased
by
lawe
to
prosecute
the
cause
against
him
,
which
by
sundrie
euidences
may
be
shewed
,
but
some
fewe
shall
serue
.
That
how
much
more
precious
the
soule
is
then
the
bodie
,
so
much
more
ought
he
to
obey
Becket
then
his
terreine
King
:
So
notorious
and
euident
was
the
rebellious
opposition
of
this
Popish
Prelate
against
his
lawfull
Prince
,
that
he
was
openly
by
the
king
,
and
his
Nobles
called
Traitor
,
in
that
he
refused
to
giue
earthly
honour
to
his
King
(
as
he
had
sworne
to
do
)
and
therefore
they
generally
agreed
,
that
he
was
wel
worthy
to
be
handled
as
a
periured
Traitor
and
rebell
,
If
you
please
to
adde
hereunto
,
the
arbitrement
of
this
controuersie
put
into
the
French
kings
handes
,
William
and
Otho
Cardinals
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
to
Alexander
the
Pope
,
&c.
comming
to
the
land
of
the
king
of
England
,
we
found
the
controuersie
betwixt
him
,
and
the
Archbishop
of
Canterburie
,
more
sharpe
and
vehement
then
we
would
;
for
the
King
and
the
greater
part
about
him
,
said
,
that
the
Archbishop
had
stirred
vp
the
French
King
grieuouslie
against
him
,
as
also
the
Earle
of
Flaunders
his
kinsman
;
(
who
was
verie
louing
and
kind
to
him
before
)
he
made
his
open
aduersarie
,
readie
to
wage
warre
against
him
,
as
is
by
diuers
euidences
most
certain
,
&c.
Now
for
a
subiect
to
stirre
vp
forraine
States
to
make
warre
vpon
his
Soueraigne
and
countrie
,
was
at
all
times
high
treason
;
but
that
Becket
did
so
,
(
by
the
Cardinals
confession
)
was
by
diuers
euidences
most
certaine
,
therefore
Becket
(
not
now
his
enemies
,
but
his
bre●hren
,
the
sonnes
of
his
owne
mother
being
Iudges
)
was
a
traitor
.
Who
then
but
such
a
one
as
hath
sold
himselfe
to
all
impudencie
and
shamelesse
gainsaying
the
truth
,
would
seeke
to
couer
Beckets
rebellions
,
Iohn
Baptist
,
Ambrose
,
Hillarie
,
of
Athanasius
,
Chrysostome
,
which
haue
as
much
agreement
with
the
cause
of
Becket
,
as
hath
light
with
darkenes
good
with
euill
,
sweet
with
sower
?
concerning
whose
Saint-being
I
will
say
nothing
,
sith
my
purpose
is
not
to
search
what
he
is
with
God
after
his
death
,
but
what
he
was
towards
his
Prince
in
his
life
,
neither
am
I
priuie
to
his
repentance
,
which
might
be
secret
at
the
last
gaspe
,
or
to
Gods
iudgements
,
into
which
I
presume
not
to
presse
.
Yet
you
may
remember
,
that
long
since
,
it
was
a
generall
Prouerbe
of
your
Pope-made
Saints
,
That
many
are
worshipped
for
Saints
in

,
whose

:

and
that
in

concerning

great

was
moued

is
by

of

Wrought

Or
secondly
,
if
they
were
not
counterfeite
but
done
in
deed
,
they
were
not
wrought
by
God
,
but
by
the
power
of
Sathan
to
draw
men
from
Christ
to
Antichrist
.
Of
these
the
Apostle
foretelleth
vs
(
that
whensoeuer
it
commeth
to
passe
it
might
not
trouble

)
That
the
comming
of
Antichrist
should
be
by
the
working
of
Sathan
,
with
all
power
,
and
signes
,
and
lying
wonders
.
That
there
shall
arise
false
Christs
and
false

and
shall
shew

so
that
if
it

possible
they
should
deceiue

As
namely
,
that
three
daies
after
his
death
he
appeared
at
the
Altar
in
his
pontificalibus
,
commaunding
the
Quire
not
to
sing
,
but
to
say
this
office
of
his
Masse
,
Exurge
quare
obdormis

,
&c.
Againe
that
it
was
shewed
a
Munke
in
a
vision
,
that
Becket
had
his
place
appointed
in
heauen
,
with
the
Apostles
aboue
Steuen
,
Laurence
,
&c.
Also
that
a
Knights
sonne
being
two
daies
dead
,
was
reuiued
againe
,
so
soone
as
he
had
a
little
of
the
water
of
Canturburie
put
into
his
mouth
,
and
had
by
his
parents
foure
peeces
of
siluer
bended
to
be
offred
at
Canturbury
in
the
childs
behalf
:
And
further
most
blasphemously
,
that
Becket
in
a
vision
did
appeare
and
say
that
his
bloud
did
crie
out
of
the
earth
to
God
more
then
the
bloud
of
righteous
Abel
;
as
also
that
Becket
,
appearing
to
a
Priest
named
Thomas
,
told
him
that
he
had
so
brought
to
passe
,
that
all
the
names
of
the
Munkes
of
the
Church
of
Canturburie
,
with
the
names
of
the
Priestes
and
Clerkes
,
and
with
the
families
belonging
to
that
Citie
and
Church
of
Canturburie
,
were
written
in
the
booke
of
life
.
These
and
many
more
absurd
then
these
are
the
miracles
ascribed
to
him
,
to
proue
him
a
Saint
,
dying
in
so
holy
a
quarrell

and
to
fill
the

it

doe
ye
doubt
whether
the
Pope
did
well
therein
or
not
?
consider
the
miracles
hee
wrought
,
A
young
man
that
brake
his
necke
from
his
horse
being
carried
to
Hiacinthus
Tombe
presently
reuiued
,
and
was
restored
whole
and
sound
.
Againe
,
a
mayde
hauing
a
calfe
suddenly
dead
,
runneth
to
his
graue
and
prayeth
him
to
reuiue
her
calfe
againe
:
when
shee
came
home
,
and
found
the
Butcher
skinning
of
it
,
the
calfe
mouing
the
leg
that
was
fleyed
,
lifted
vp
the
head
,
and
was
by
and
by
as
whole
as
a
fish
.
And
that
ye
may
know
it
is
no
great
noueltie
with
these
fellowes
,
to
haue
stockes
and
stones
to
speake●
when
this
Hiacinthus
was
aliue
,
and
at
the
sudden
irruption
of
the
Tartarians
,
was
readie
to
flie
out
of
the
Church
,
the
Image
of
the
Virgine
Marie
being
an
huge
one
,
and
of
Alablaster
called
to
him
.
O
sonne
Hiacinthus
,
dost
thou
flie
from
the
hands
of
the
Tartarians
,
and
leauest
me
,
with
my
sonne
to
be
torne
in
peeces
and
trampled
vnder
their
feete
?
therefore
take
me
with
thee
:
At
which
he
being
somewhat
amazed
,
answered
:
O
glorious
Virgin
,
this
Image
of
yours
is
too
heauie
,
how
can
I
carrie
it
with
me
?
But
she
replied
,
take
it
,
for
my
sonne
shal
lighten
the
burden
.
Whereupon
he
tooke
it
,
and
carried
it
in
one
hand
,
as
if
it
had
been
as
light
as
a
reede
,
through
the
great
riuer
Borysthenes
,
on
drie
foote
.
Here
is
a
tast
of
your
strange
miracles
of
Rome
,
but
it
is
most
strange
that
men
should
bee
so
bereft
of
reason
and
iudgement
to
beleeue
them
.
If
Calphurnius
were
liuing
of
whom
the
Poet
writeth
,
Pleno
ridet
Calphurnius
ore
,
and
should
reade
the
wonderfull
miracles
to
the
Popes
Saints
attributed
,
I
suppose
he
would
not
onely
laugh
with
open
mouth
;
but
euen
breake
his
bellie
with
laughing
at
these
their
ridiculous
follies
.
The
Lord
giue
vnto
vs
grace
to
loue
the
truth
,
that
we
may
be
saued
:
least
otherwise
in
his
iust
iudgement
he
send
vs
strong
delusions
to
beleeue
such
loude
,
and
lewde
lyes
.
And
so
I
leaue
Becket
with
all
his
miracles
(
as
in
stories
I
finde
him
recorded
)
the
Kings
rebell
,
and
the
Popes
Saint
.
The
residue
of
the
exceptions
in
this
Encounter
against
me
are
altogether
to
false
and
friuolous
,
as
I
might
well
spare
the
labour
in
giuing
any
answere
thereto
,
but
that
this
foule-mouthed
fellow
(
who
sayleth
in
a
Sea
of
words
)
painteth
them
out
by
the
name
of
slanders
,
yea
impudent
and
shameles
slanders
,
that
by
such
mightie
words
he
might
blinde
the
eyes
,
and
steale
away
the
affections
of
the
simple
readers
;
therefore
a
word
or
two
of
each
of
them
.
The
next
fained
position
wherewith
he
chargeth
me
is
,
that
I
holde
The
Pope
and
his
Cleargie
are
to
bee
obeyed
though
they
commaund
blasphemies
against
God
and
disloyalties
against
Princes
,
which
though
you
(
Sir
Encounterer
)
without
all
shame
,
and
contrarie
to
your
owne
knowledge
(
if
you
haue
knowledge
in
any
thing
but
in
rayling
)
do
tearme
a
shamelesse
slander
:
yet
to
as
many
as
know
Rome
in
any
measure
,
it
is
well
knowne
and
will
be
found
a
true
accusation
and
iust
charge
.
Nunquam
voluisset
id
quidem
:
Surely
he
would
neuer
bid
me
so
to
do
:
that
the
Pope
likewise
would
neuer
command
blasphemies
against
God
,
or
disloyalties
against
Princes
:
For
proofe
against
the
first
,
I
need
go
no
further
then
our
example
of
Thomas
Becket
,
for
whom
the
Pope
not
only
commanded
a
solemne
festiuall
day
to
be
kept
,
but
in
honour
of
him
,
Then
which
what
greater
blasphemie
can
be
vttered
?
to
make
any
other
Mediatour
betwixt
God
and
man
,
then
the
man
Christ
Iesus
;
and
that
by
the
blood
and
wounds
,
which
is
the
proper
prerogatiue
of
him
,
who
was
wounded
for
our
sinnes
,
and
done
to
death
for
our
transgressions
?
But
as
if
this
were
not
blasphemie
enough
,
behold
yet
a
greater
;
euen
Gods
honour
giuen
to
this

Shall
I
adde
hereunto
another
like
example
which
in
part
I
haue
alreadie
touched
?
Sixtus
the
fourth
taketh
vp
the
controuersie
betwixt
the
●ranciscans
and
Dominicks
,
about
the
conception
of
the
blessed
Virgin
,
and
against
manifest
Scripture
,
plaine
testimonies
of
fathers
,
and
the
streame
of
his
owne
Doctors
,
decreeth
her
conception
without
Originall
sinne
(
so
taking
from
Christ
his
prerogatiue
)
commaundeth
the
solemnizing
of
the
feast
of
her
conception
,
excommunicating
and
condemning
them
for
heretikes
that
did
gainesay
it
,
and
granting
to
as
many
as
would
heare
Masse
deuoutly
,
from
the
first
euensong
of
that
feast
,
to
the
Octaues
of
the
same
,
as
many
daies
of
pardon
,
as
Pope
Vrbane
the
fourth
,
and
Pope
Martin
the
fifth
did
grant
for
hearing
the
seruice
of
Corpus
Christi
day
.
Yet
here
he
staieth
not
,
but
not
only
abusing
that
as
a
praier
to
the
Virgine
,
which
was
onely
the
Angels
salutation
,
and
rather
the
Angels
praier
for
her
,
then
to
her
;
for
the
better
establishment
of
his
new
blasphemie
,
addeth
to
the
expresse
words
of
Scripture
,
commaunding
the
Aue
Maria
to
be
said
with
this
addition
,
and
giuing
release
of
sinnes
to
as
many
as
would
inuocate
the
blessed
Virgin
with
the
same
addition
.
Hayle
Marie
full
of
grace
,
the
Lord
is
with
thee
,
blessed
art
thou
amongest
women
,
&
blessed
is
the
fruite
of
thy
wombe
,
Iesus
Christ
,
and
blessed
is
Anna
thy
mother
,
of
whom
thy
virgins
flesh
hath
proceeded
without
blot
of
Originall
sin
.
Amen
.
From
hence
did
spring
these
&
such
like
points
of
doctrine
offered
to
the
people
,
that
she
was
not
obliged
to
any
punishment
due
for
sinne
no
more
then
Christ
,
that
she
had
no
need
of
remission
of
sinnes
,
that
if
a
Sauiour
be
taken
for
him
,
which
saueth
such
as
haue
merited
condemnation
,
then
was
not
Christ
her
Sauiour
,
but
onely
in
this
respect
might
be
counted
her
Sauiour
,
for
preseruing
her
from
all
sinne
,
and
so
sustaining
her
from
falling
into
condemnation
;
these
and
such
like
new
found
blasphemies
al
men
must
receiue
,
and
hold
her
immaculate
conception
vnder
paine
of
excommunication
.
Kaine
to
kill
Abell
,
then
by
the
spirit
of
God
that
taught
Dauid
to
spare
Saule
.
There
remaineth
now
onely
the
fourth
and
last
charge
against
me
in
this
Encounter
briefely
to
be
discharged
,
Ambrose
,
Hilarie
,
Ierome
,
Augustine
make
no
mention
of
them
.
Thus
your selues
truly
confesse
that
ye
haue
neither
warrant
of
Scripture
,
nor
of
auncient
fathers
for
your
Popes
pardons
,
yet
goe
they

To
which
wee
may
adde
the
complaint
of
the
Princes
of
Germany
against
the
Pope
,
But
especially
the
burden
and
grieuance
of
the
Popes
pardons
and
Indulgences
are
most
importable
.
When
as
the
Bishops
of
Rome
vnder
pretence
of
building
some
Church
in
Rome
,
or
to
warre
against
the
Turke
,
do
make
out
their
Indulgences
with
their
Buls
,
perswading
and
promising
to
the
simple
people
,
strange
and
wonderfull
benefits
of
remission
à
Culpa
&
paena
,
from
the
guilt
of
their
sinnes
,
and
punishment
due
for
the
same
:
and
not
in
this
life
onelie
,
but
also
after
this
life
to
them
that
bee
dead
burning
in
the
fire
of
Purgatorie
.
Through
the
hope
and
occasion
whereof
,
true
pietie
is
almost
extinct
in
all
Germanie
;
While●
euery
ill
disposed
person
promiseth
himselfe
for
a
little
money
licence
and
impunitie
,
to
doe
what
him
listeth
:
whereupon
followeth
fornication
,
incest
,
adulterie
,
periurie
,
homicide
,
robbing
and
spoyling
,
rapine
and
vsurie
,
with
a
whole
stood
of
mischiefes
,
&c.
By
which
what
was
the
generall
and
currant
vse
of
the
Popes
pardons
,
is
euident
to
be
seene
.
from
which
I
am
fully
and
in
good
forme
absolued
.
I
would
the
opinion
conceiued
of
the
Popes
plenarie
pardons
,
did
not
induce
Subiects
to
commit
most
hainous
treason
against
the
Lords
annointed
,
to
satisfie
the
Popes
desire
.
Whereof
an
example
may
be
seene
in
Parry
,
And
to
the
end
you
may
be
the
more
ayded
by
that
good
spirite
,
which
hath
induced
you
to
this
:
his
blessednes
graunteth
you
full
pardon
and
remission
of
all
your
sinnes
,
as
you
requested
:
assuring
you
that
besides
the
merite
you
shall
receiue
in
Heauen
,
his
holines
will
make
himselfe
debter
to
acknowledge
your
deseruings
in
the
best
manner
that
he
may
.
Now
how
ignorant
soeuer
you
presume
me
to
be
of
the
difference
betwixt
the
Popes
pardon
,
and
the
Priests
absolution
,
because
I
make
mention
of
them
both
together
;
I
would
your
wisdome
should
well
knowe
,
that
for
this
deepe
point
of
Catholike
doctrine
,
I
am
as
well
acquainted
with
the
speculation
(
though
not
practise
)
of
it
as
your selfe
.
Howsoeuer
they
haue
some
differences
,
yet
herein
they
concur
as
Simeon
and
Leui
brethren
in
euill
,
that
both
are
vsed
as
inducements
to
most
hainous
sins
,
thereby
to
satisfie
the
Popes
pleasure
.
Sundry
chronicles
make
mention
of
Simon
the
Monke
of
Swinested
,
Iacobus
Clemens
who
murdered
the
King
of
France
,
Iacobus
Clemens
being
also
before-hand
confessed
and
absolued
of
it
.
But
what
neede
I
adde
more
,
when
as
almost
the
whole
world
knoweth
and
crieth
out
,
of
the
horrible
abuses
both
of
your
Pardon-mongers
,
and
absoluing
Priests
,
to
the
strengthning
of
sinne
,
and
decay
of
vertue
?
He
that
reioyceth
,
let
him
reioyce
in
the
Lord
.
Heate
and
light
are
both
inseparable
in
the
fire
,
though
it
be
the
propertie
of
the
heat
onely
to
warme
,
and
not
of
the
light
:
so
are
faith
and
good
workes
coupled
in
as
many
as
are
iustified
,
though
we
be
iustified
through
faith
onely
.
Therefore
we
are
necessarilie
to
exercise
our selues
in
good
works
,
dying
to
sinne
and
liuing
to
righteousnes
,
if
wee
hope
hereafter
to
liue
with
Christ
eternally
.
For
it
is
true
that
Ambrose
hath
,
Sicut
sancti
sunt
membra
Christi
;
sic
impij
sunt
membra
Dioboli
:
As
those
that
are
holy
,
are
the
members
of
Christ
;
so
are
the
wicked
ones
the
limmes
of
Sathan
:
and
so
with
the
words
of
the
Prophet
I
conclude
.
This
is
the
way
,
walke
in
it
,
Resistance
to
the
third
Encounter
,
about
her
Maiesties
marueilous
deliuerances
from
dangers
,
in
Queene
Maries
time
,
and
since
.
IT
is
the
Common
and
vsuall
practise
of
wrangling
and
cauilling
spirits
,
for
the
preuenting
of
iust
accusations
against
themselues
,
first
to
begin
and
challenge
others
of
the
same
crimes
whereof
themselues
are
most
guiltie
.
So
dealt
Sathan
the
accuser
of
the
brethren
with
Iob
,
That
if
he
were
touched
in
all
that
hee
had
,
he
would
blaspheme
God
to
his
face
,
and
yet
there
is
nothing
more
common
with
that
olde
Serpent
,
then
to
curse
and
blashpheme
God
.
In
like
manner
this
parasite
and
slaunderous
Encounterer
,
being
priuie
vnto
himselfe
of
his
guiltines
in
flatterie
,
and
bloud-thirsting
,
of
both
which
he
hath
giuen
sufficient
proofe
throughout
this
his
whole
Ward-word
,
would
yet
notwithstanding
in
the
entrance
of
this
his
third
Encounter
,
How
vniustly
he
hath
charged
me
with
flatterie
and
forging
,
is
made
apparant
(
I
trust
)
to
euery
indifferent
reader
in
my
answeres
before
to
his
two
first
Encounters
:
and
how
farre
I
am
from
a
bloudie
mouth
,
a
poysoned
tongue
,
and
an
earnest
desire
to
haue
all
his
Catholikes
destroyed
(
for
so
he
tearmeth
the
Recusant
Papists
amongst
vs
)
shal
by
Gods
grace
be
made
plaine
&
euident
in
that
which
followeth
.
Let
the
beast
that
hath
two
hornes
like
a
Lambe
,
but
not
of
the
Lambe
delight
in
his
hornes
,
and
let
the
whore
of
Rome
,
that
is
drunken
with
the
bloud
of
Gods
Saints
delight
to
gorge
in
bloud
:
but
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
and
her
children
,
shall
be
alwaies
found
gentle
,
peaceable
,
and
merciful
,
without
either
the
sauage
condition
of
beasts
,
or
the
barking
&
bloud-thirstie
condition
of
dogs
and
hounds
,
how
reprochfully
,
maliciously
&
dishonorably
soeuer
this
Encounterer
doth
write
of
the
house
of
Huntingdon
&
my selfe
.
But
before
I
come
to
the
particulars
handled
in
this
Encounter
,
what
moued
you
(
Sir
Encounterer
)
thus
hastely
and
fiercely
to
charge
me
in
this
place
with
a
bloud-thirstie
humor
,
&
to
paint
your
margent
with
Sir
Francis
his
malignitie
?
doe
you
vncharitablie
suspect
my
thoughts
?
or
doe
you
frowardly
peruert
,
and
misconstrue
my
words
?
the
secret
thoughtes
are
knowne
onely
to
God
;
but
if
my
writings
doe
any
where
bewray
such
a
sauage
disposition
,
why
did
you
not
frame
your
inditement
vpon
mine
owne
words
?
what
,
were
you
moued
because
I
did
truly
and
thankfully
acknowledge
the
maruellous
deliuerance
and
preseruation
of
her
Maiestie
in
the
daies
of
her
sister
Queene
Marie
,
which
is
the
first
thing
in
this
your
Encounter
you
find
fault
with
all
?
Or
were
you
mooued
,
because
I
haue
faithfully
related
the
Popish
practises
of
bloudie
Prelates
,
and
home-borne
Traitors
against
her
Maiestie
both
before
,
and
since
the
beginning
of
her
Raigne
?
Or
was
it
because
in
setting
downe
the
iust
iudgement
of
God
,
and
the
punishment
of
Iustice
iustly
inflicted
vpon
Doctor
Storie
,
I
doe
in
the
ende
thereof
desire
that
al
they
which
wish
to
Queene
Elizabeth
as
he
did
(
for
those
be
my
words
,
pagina
.
27.
)
may
speed
as
he
did
?
Other
matter
I
am
sure
you
can
find
none
from
the
18.
page
vnto
the
49.
of
my
booke
,
which
all
in
this
Encounter
you
take
vpon
you
to
answere
.
And
I
pray
you
(
Sir
)
are
these
such
matters
as
may
iustlie
prouoke
anie
to
such
furie
,
outcrying
,
opprobrious
names
,
and
grieuous
accusations
,
as
in
this
your
Encounter
you
haue
vsed
against
me
?
the
matters
are
all
iustifiable
,
as
shall
after
more
fully
God
willing
appeare
,
and
as
well
might
Cushi
(
who
bringing
newes
to
Dauid
of
the
ende
of
Absolon
said
,
Aug.
in
Psal.
37
Non
oramus
vt
moriantur
inimici
,
sed
vt
corrigantur
,
sie
mortui
erunt
inimici
,
iam

non

:
Wee
pray
not
for
the
death
of
our
enemies
,
but
for
their
correction
and
amendment
;
so
our
enemies
shall
bee
dead
,
for
being
amended
they
shall
bee
no
more
our
enemies
.
But
now
to
the
seuerall
parts
of
your
Encounter
as
they
follow
in
order
with
as
much
breuitie
as
I
may
:
But
I
pray
you
(
Sir
N.D.
)
why
should
this
matter
so
much
displease
you
,
as
to
vrge
you
to
write
so
many
lines
in
seeking
to
disproue
my
saying
?
Is
it
because
you
would
flatter
her
Maiestie
and
perswade
her
,
that
she
was
better
beloued
,
then
she
thought
she
was
?
Or
is
it
because
you
are
vnwilling
to
heare
,
that
God
should
so
honour
the
Gospell
,
as
to
bring
in
the
free
publishing
and
profession
thereof
into
this
our
Land
,
by
one
that
was
marueilously
preserued
to
be
a
Prince
and
nourse
vnto
vs
?
Or
is
it
because
you
would
free
those
daies
from
such
malice
and
crueltie
,
as
her
Maiestie
did
sensiblie
perceiue
?
Or
for
that
you
would
shew
your
skill
in
carping
at
my
sayings
?
Whatsoeuer
occasion
you
did
take
(
for
iust
cause
had
you
none
)
you
might
haue
done
better
to
haue
spared
your
labour●
and
to
haue
said
as
we
doe
with
the
Church
in
Dauids
time
vpon
the
like
occasion
in
preseruing
Dauid
to
be
King
of
Israel
.
This
is
the
Lords
doing
,
and
it
is
marueilous
in
our
eyes
.
Wyat
,
Courtney
,
Carow
,
&c.
and
the
condition
of
the
Queene
of
Scots
,
thereby
endeuouring
(
after
his
cunning
manner
)
both
to
leaue
her
Maiestie
to
be
suspected
at
the
least
of
some
disloyaltie
to
her
Sister
,
as
also
to
cleare
the
chiefe
pillers
then
of
Poperie
from
doing
her
wrong
,
and
the
Queene
of
Scots
from
working
of
treason
against
her
since
that
time
.
But
let
him
write
neuer
so
cunningly
,
Much
suspected
by
me
,
nothing
proued
can
be
:
So
shall
he
neuer
bee
able
to
free
either
the
State
then
from
troubling
and
wronging
of
her
Maiestie
vniustly
,
neither
to
cleare
the
Queene
of
Scots
of
such
treasons
as
she
was
iustly
condemned
for
.
But
how
proueth
he
that
she
was
in
no
danger
of
life
?

because

was

to

her
to

at
home
or
abroad
to
hinder
them
;
if
there
had
been
such
a
seeking
after
her
death
as
I
haue
affirmed
;

.
Alas
poore
fi●●ie
Encounterer
,
must
my
speech
which
onely
accuseth
the
Romish
Cleargie
then
in
place
of
credite
to
seeke
her
life
,
include
the
King
and
Queene
?
Or
must
it
needs
follow
where
there
is
a
soueraigntie
and
outward
strength
(
for
that
I
●●ke
you
meane
by
power
)
ioyned
with
will
,
there
the
matter
must
needs
be
effected
?
If
this
reason
were
good
,
how
was
Moses
preserued
,
there
being
power
and
will
in
Pharaoh
to
kill
him
?
How
was
Dauid
preserued
from
Saule
,
or
the
Prophets
from
Ierob●●●
,
or
the
Israelites
from
Ham●●s
malice
,
Peter
from
Herods
crueltie
,
or
our
Sauiour
Christ
(
for
a
time
)
from
the
conspiracie
of
the
chiefe
Iewes
?
For
in
all
these
there
was
will
ioyned
with
outward
power
for
a
time
;
and
yet
the
things
desired
not
effected
.
Cicero
his
argument
holdeth
where
there
is
nothing
supposed
to
hinder
,
and
where
the
will
is
fully
bent
to
doe
a
thing
:
but
in
all
Soueraigntie
and
inclination
of
the
will
it
holdeth
not
,
because
there
may
want
strength
,
and
continuance
of
the
partie
,
and
the
will
may
not
be
throughly
setled
;
as
that
of
the
Iewes
,
they
would
faine
haue
put
Christ
to
death
,
but
they
feared
the
people
.
God
no
doubt
did
strangely
keepe
Queene
Marie
from
consenting
to
the
bloodie
practise
of
the
Romish
Cleargie
against
her
Sister
;
and
though
some
of
the
Cleargie
did
seeke
her
death
,
yet
it
might
bee
hindered
by
others
,
and
their
desires
by
some
considerations
so
crossed
,
that
though
they
did
desire
her
death
,
yet
they
could
not
effect
it
,
for
which
the
Lord
of
Heauen
onely
is
to
be
praised
.
But
what
a
shameles
forehead
hath
this
Encounterer
,
who
against
so
manifest
a
truth
,
so
plainely
,
and
sensiblie
to
bee
proued
,
doth
not
blush
to
denie
that
her
Maiesties
life
was
at
that
day
earnestlie
and
maliciouslie
sought
after
?
Why
was
sh●e
so
hastelie
sent
for
when
shee
was
sicke
,
to
bee
brought
vp
to
the
Court
,
either
aliue
,
or
dead
,
presently
vpon
Wyats
rising
?
why
was
she
falsly
accused
and
burdened
with
Wyats
insurrection
;
yea
so
far
that
he
was
brought
against
truth
and
conscience
to
accuse
her
?
Why
was
she
committed
to
the
Tower
to
be
a
close
prisoner
?
Why
did
she
say
Tanquam
ouis
,
when
she
remoued
from
the
Tower
to
Woodstocke
?
Why
was
she
in
many
feares
,
and
so
often
enforced
to
bewaile
her
estate
,
and
to
pray
to
the
mightie
God
to
preserue
her
?
Was
there
not
a
report
that
there
was
a
warrant
out
for
her
execution
,
and
did
not
M.
Bridges
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
go
in
haste
to
Queene
Marie
,
and
so
by
certifying
her
preuent
the
bloodie
execution
?
When
the
sword
of
iustice
could
not
by
any
meanes
be
drawne
forth
against
her
,
what
extreame
dealings
were
vsed
,
and
what
secret
conspiracies
plotted
,
for
the
bringing
of
her
to
an
vntimely
death
,
and
the
shedding
of
her
innocent
bloud
?
I
spare
to
write
more
in
so
plaine
a
matter
,
that
reuerent
learned
man
Master
Foxe
hath
at
large
in
his
Monuments
of
the
Church
set
downe
,
the
miraculous
preseruation
of
her
Maiestie
at
that
time
from
extreame
calamitie
and
danger
of
life
,
which
who
so
readeth
,
shall
with
inward
compassion
and
watrie
eyes
rather
lament
her
pitifull
estate
,
then
with
a
hard
heart
and
shameles
face
deny
so
manifest
a
truth
as
this
Encounterer
doth
.
Before
thee
O
God
I
speake
it
,
hauing
none
other
friends
but
thee
alone
:
and
as
certaine
it
is
that
neither
wise
States-man
,
nor
any
other
can
definitelie
say
of
these
,
or
any
other
supposed
causes
,
in
these
respects
,
or
for
these
causes
chiefly
shee
was
preserued
:
what
though
shee
were
gracious
,
amiable
,
and
vertuous
,
and
much
fauoured
of
the
Spanish
King
(
who
in
policie
it
may
be
did
by
that
meanes
seeke
to
win
the
peoples
hearts
vnto
him
,
)
must
it
needs
follow
hereupon
,
that
therefore
her
innocent
behauiour
could
not
bee
called
into
question
,
nor
her
bloud
shed
by
any
wicked
conspiracie
?
The
King
of
Spaine
was
farre
from
her
in
her
greatest
trouble
,
and
neither
you
,
nor
any
other
can
say
that
hee
pleaded
her
cause
or
stoode
openly
for
her
freedome
at
any
time
.
If
hee
sent
the
Duke
of
Feria
to
visite
her
,
or
secretly
did
speake
for
her
to
Queene
Marie
,
as
Master
Foxe
seemeth
to
confesse
,
he
did
that
which
was
seemely
and
honorable
in
a
King
,
and
that
which
her
place
and
innocencie
iustly
deserued
.
As
for
the
generall
hope
which
you
say
most
men
had
of
her
Maiesties
being
a
Catholike
:
if
it
had
been
either
so
vniuersally
conceiued
as
you
imagine
,
or
by
such
outward
tokens
had
appeared
as
you
haue
set
downe
,
how
can
it
be
true
that
she
was
presumed
by
many
to
be
inclined
to
a
different
Religion
from
yours
,
as
you
a
little
before
in
this
Encounter
doe
confesse
?
If
shee
had
been
deuoted
so
earnestly
to
Popish
Religion
,
why
needed
commaundement
to
be
giuen
that
shee
should
haue
Masse
within
her
house
,
within
two
daies
after
her
committing
to
the
Tower
?
and
how
happened
it
,
that
her
men
were
so
vnskilfull
to
helpe
the
Priest
,
that
the
first
day
there
could
be
no
Masse
for
want
of
a
Clerke
,
and
the
next
day
one
of
her
yeomen
at
Kyrieleson
made
a
stop
,
and
set
the
Priest
being
not
able
,
or
not
willing
to
proceede
any
further
?
Her
sound
affection
to
true
Religion
was
the
cause
of
all
her
trouble
and
danger
in
her
Sisters
daies
,
and
her
willing
and
ioyfull
embracing
of
the
true
Christian
faith
,
and
of
God
his
true
worship
and
seruice
,
hath
so
sufficiently
been
witnessed
euer
since
the
beginning
of
her
Raigne
,
that
no
man
of
common
sense
or
Christian
charitie
hath
the
least
cause
to
suspect
that
her
heart
should
bee
vnsound
in
the
present
profession
of
God
his
true
Religion
and
Gospell
.
The
last
cause
which
you
alleage
to
concurre
to
the
preseruation
of
her
Maiestie
,
is
but
a
thing
imagined
by
you
seeing
the
matter
of
depriuing
her
Maiestie
of
life
neuer
came
to
any
such
stately
consultation
as
you
your selfe
in
handling
this
point
,
doe
plainelie
graunt
;
and
seeing
also
that
in
such
a
case
they
could
haue
found
out
other
meanes
,
for
preuenting
such
a
potent
pretender
:
whatsoeuer
you
say
of
the
Spaniards
affection
to
the
Queene
of
Scots
at
that
time
,
I
am
sure
all
England
had
like
to
haue
tasted
by
so
lamentable
an
experience
,
that
this
Lady
of
Scotland
was
so
affected
by
Spaine
,
and
sundrie
of
our
English
Espagniolized
traitours
,
as
(
if
through
Gods
goodnes
shee
had
not
been
cut-off
in
time
)
hardly
could
our
Soueraigne
haue
escaped
with
life
long
,
being
almost
daily
in
daunger
(
whilest
that
Scottish
Queene
liued
)
through
the
practise
of
Rome
,
Spaine
,
and
our
home
Traytors
.
Thus
notwithstanding
all
your
flourishes
and
deuises
,
your
potent
causes
are
too
weake
to
weaken
my
speech
,
the
gracious
worke
of
God
in
preseruing
her
Maiestie
at
that
time
appearing
to
euery
Christian
and
indifferent
iudgement
,
no
lesse
miraculous
and
strange
,
then
I
haue
affirmed
.
God
is
the
onely
proper
maker
of
miracles
,
I
onely
acknowledge
his
worke
in
deliuering
this
my
Soueraigne
from
daunger
with
thankfulnes
,
without
either
flatterie
of
any
person
,
or
ambitions
seeking
after
honour
,
though
you
very
maliciously
and
scornefullie
do
charge
me
with
both
;
but
by
that
time
that
veine
of
your
carriage
in
this
your
rayling
Pamphlet
be
throughly
scanned
and
conceiued
,
neither
your
tongue
nor
pen
will
proue
any
great
slaunder
.
I
will
shut
vp
this
point
with
a
speech
of
Master
Iohn
Hales
vsed
in
his
oration
to
her
Maiestie
at
her
first
entrance
to
her
raigne
,
which
seemeth
〈…〉
fying
of
my
sayings
,
his
words
are
these
.
He
that
sitteth
on
high
and
laugheth
at
their
madnes
;
would
not
suffer
that
the
malicious
purposes
,
and
most
cruell
deuised
Iniustice
should
haue
successe
.
He
did
take
vpon
him
the
protection
of
you
,
he
onely
hath
been
your
Iehosheba
,
that
preserued
you
from
this
wicked
Athalia
:
he
onely
was
the
Iehoiada
that
destroyed
this
cruell
Athalia
:
he
onely
hath
made
you
Queene
of
this
realme
in
stead
this
mischieuous
Marana
:
No
earthly
creature
can
claime
any
peece
of
thanks
therefore
,
no
mans
face
,
no
mans
counsaile
,
no
mans
aide
hath
been
the
cause
thereof
.
The
second
thing
you
finde
fault
with
in
this
your
Encounter
is
my
affirming
,
You
aske
how
it
could
be
that
the
Papists
did
freat
and
chafe
,
seeing
they
as
the
greatest
number
,
and
chiefest
persons
did
freelie
,
and
willingly
place
her
,
crowne
her
,
annoint
her
,
take
her
oath
,
for
preseruing
the
lawes
of
the
Realme
,
and
sweare
fidelitie
to
her
againe
.
To
which
question
I
returne
the
like
for
answere
:
how
could
it
be
that
Haman
commaunded
to
honour
Mardocheus
in
the
sight
of
the
people
,
should
fret
and
chafe
at
his
aduancement
,
But
I
will
proceed
to
peruse
the
examination
of
some
particulars
,
of
the
hostilitie
by
me
alleadged
,
willing
the
Reader
by
the
way
to
consider
deeply
of
your
graue
aduise
,
which
(
vpon
my
vsing
the
words
Sacred
and
Annoynted
,
as
honourable
and
rightly
appertaining
to
her
Maiestie
)
you
offer
to
be
aduisedly
thought
of
,
as
tending
to
the
commendation
of
annointing
Priestes
and
Princes
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
and
Iacob
,
are
called
annointed
,
and
yet
were
neuer
annointed
with
oile
.
In

Cyrus
is
called
the
Lords
annointed
,
and
yet
a
heathen
Prince
:
The
first
particular
of
hostilities
which
you
take
vpon
you
to
disprooue
is
my
speech
of
your
darling
Doctor
Storie
,
Saul
,
Doeg
,
and
others
,
bloudie
men
,
you
charge
me
to
be
light-witted
,
and
foule
mouthed
;
Doctor
Story
to
be
considered
;
the
words
I
charge
him
with
,
my
interpretation
of
them
,
and
the
iudgement
he
receiued
;
in
all
which
if
you
can
either
conuince
me
of
vntruth
,
or
iustlie
condemn
me
for
vncharitably
censuring
the
speech
,
and
his
person
,
we
will
beleeue
you
another
time
,
in
your
proud
boasting
.
The
words
(
you
say
)
were
neuer
sufficiently
proued
to
haue
been
spoken
by
him
,
neither
by
sufficient
witnesses
,
laboured
onely
about
the
young
and
little
sprigs
and
twigs
while
they
should
haue
stricken
at
the
roote
,
and
cleane
haue
rooted
it
out
)
cannot
be
meant
of
any
other
,
but
of
the
Prince
and
chiefe
roote
,
from
whom
by
the
great
goodnes
of
God
,
the
generall
and
open
profession
of
Christian
Religion
,
hath
againe
sprung
vp
in
this
our
land
,
and
with
whom
it
doth
continue
yet
still
,
notwithstanding
that
Bacon
,
Cicill
,
Knowles
and
all
those
that
you
named
are
dead
and
gone
.
The
words
must
needs
aime
at
a
person
,
and
not
an
heresie
;
at
one
,
and
not
at
many
;
at
a
chiefe
,
and
not
at
anie
inferiour
;
howsoeuer
this
glosing
and
cunning
Encounterer
would
perswade
vs
of
our
Queenes
affection
to
Poperie
,
or
denie
that
true
Religion
was
willinglie
and
ioyfullie
without
compulsion
and
constraint
from
others
established
and
maintained
by
her
.
Rishton
one
of
your
Masters
,
speaking
of
her
before
she
was
crowned
,

,
&c.
1.
she
presentlie
shewed
her
mind
in
Religion
,
both
by
silencing
Catholike
preachers
(
as
he
calleth
them
)
as
also
by
suffering
all
those
that
had
liued
in
exile
for
Religion
,
to
returne
home
:
and
by
charging
a
certaine
Bishop
readie
to
celebrate
before
her
,
that
he
should
not
eleuate
the
consecrate
host
.
For
which
respects
(
as
he
confesseth
)
the
Archbishop
of
Yorke
and
the
rest
refused
to
crowne
her
,
The
iudgement
which
Doctor
Storie
receiued
by
the
Iustice
of
our
land
,
was
most
iust
,
not
being
iudged
to
death
for
these
words
(
as
you
craftily
,
yet
verie
foolishlie
,
and
falsely
haue
set
downe
)
but
for
that

Maiesties
Supremacie
in

but
obserue
the
blasphemie
of
this
Pope-holy
Encounterer
against
Christ
,
and
his
heinous
accusation
out
of
a
trecherous
heart
against
the
Magistrates
,
and
Iustice
of
our
land
,
in
comparing
such
a
traitour
as
Storie
was
,
with
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
and
our
Iudges
with
Pilate
.
Leaue
your
blind
zeale
(
Sir
Romanist
)
which
carrieth
you
so
violently
to
such
impieties
,
and
begin
at
length
to
imbrace
true
Religion
with
vs
,
in
the
feare
of
God
,
and
in
all
loyaltie
,
and
dutie
,
reuerence
and
commend
the
true
Iustice
of
your
Countrie
.
Whatsoeuer
your
Catholikes
doe
imagine
Storie
to
be
worthie
of
,
hauing
made
him
a
Martyr
,
who
indeed
was
a
traitour
,
howsoeuer
your selfe
blinded
with
partiality
&
heresy
cannot
find
out
any
trespasse
of
moment
committed
by
him
,
(
though
he
denied
our
Prince
to
be
his
Soueraigne
and
Queene
)
yet
to
euerie
Christian
and
in
different
reader
his
iudgement
will
appeare
to
be
iust
,
and
his
offence
no
lesse
then
treason
.
Doctor
Saunders
indeed
hath
made
him
a
Martyr
in
his
booke
of
the
visible
Monarchie
of
the
Church
,
and
it
may
be
you
haue
a
purpose
to
canonize
him
for
a
Saint
,
if
there
might
be
found
a
Suriu●
that
by
his
Legions
or
Legend
of
lies
would
faine
vnto
him
a
better
life
,
&
some
strange
miracles
;
but
it
being
true
that
the
cause
,
&
not
the
punishment
doth
make
a
Martyr
,
and
that
some
things
had
in
great
estimation
with
men
,
may
be
abominable
in
Gods
sight
,
your
traiterous
Story
shal
be
no
better
a
Martir
,
then
the
Martirs
of
Montanus
,
Marcion
,
Nouatus
heresies
of
whom
Eusebius
maketh
mention
.
And
so
leauing
your
traiterous
Doctor
:
let
vs
come
to
the
second
hostilitie
,
wherwith
you
find
fault
,
&
that
is
the
Bull
of
Pius
Quintus
with
the
excommunication
of
her
Maiestie
:
And
because
in
this
place
(
before
you
consider
further
of
this
Bull
)
you
take
exceptions
against
a
proposition
of
mine
which
you
terme
ridiculous
,
&
to
proceede
from
deepe
ignorance
and
a
base
breast
,
I
will
a
little
fortifie
my
saying
,
and
make
it
apparant
to
the
indifferent
reader
,
either
your
grosse
mistaking
,
or
wilfull
and
malicious
peruerting
of
my
said
speech
:
as
for
your
Lucyfer-like
pride
it
is
more
then
apparant
alreadie
:
my
words
are
these
,
As
though
it
were
in
the
power
of
any
one
mortall
childe
of
man
,
to
dispose
of
Kingdomes
,
to
depose
Princes
,
or
to
dispense
with
subiects
for
not
,
onely
disobeying
,
but
rebelling
against
their
lawfull
Soueraignes
,
&c.
Is
this
such
a
ridiculous
proposition
(
Sir
Encounterer
)
or
doe
these
words
either
make
temporall
Kingdomes
matters
of
Godhead
and
immortalitie
,
or
necessarily
conclude
that
wicked
Princes
,
such
as
Nero
and
Caligula
,
must
bee
obeyed
in
all
things
,
with
which
flourishes
,
and
false
gloses
you
seeke
to
discredite
my
sayings
?
Your
malice
did
master
your
reason
,
and
your
will
did
ouerrun
your
wit
in
this
your
lewde
construction
.
That
which
I
said
I
may
lawfullie
still
vphold
,
that
Princes
are
not
depriuable
by
any
mortall
man
,
neither
can
any
man
dispense
with
subiects
for
refusing
to
yeeld
that
obedience
which
the
Lorde
requireth
them
to
yeeld
.
The
Prophet
Daniel
acknowledgeth
that
it
is
God
,
He
putteth
down
the
mightie
from
their
seate
,
and
exalteth
the
base
:
reade
ouer
the
bookes
of
Kings
,
none
euer
disposed
of
kingdomes
,
but
the
Lorde
of
Lordes
;
neither
were
any
throwne
from
their
thrones
,
but
by
the
Lords
speciall
appointment
,
as
in
the
deiection
of
Ieroboam
,
Baasa
,
Elah
,
Achab
and
Ioram
is
apparant
.
But
it
may
be
you
thinke
,
because
the
Prophets
denounced
Gods
iudgements
,
annointed
some
to
be
Kings
,
and
some
others
by
speciall
commandement
and
authority
did
execute
Gods
iudgements
,
as
Iehu
vpon
Ioram
and
Achabs
children
,
that
therefore
my
proposition
is
infringed
;
which
cannot
be
(
Sir
Encounterer
)
for
it
was
done
by
Gods
speciall
appointment
,
as
Iudge
and
superiour
ouer
Princes
,
and
not
by
their
owne
motions
,
or
in
their
owne
name
:
No
Priest
,
no
Prophet
,
no
Apostle
,
no
Bishop
euer
had
authoritie
to
depose
Princes
.
Hee
that
saith
,
By
mee
Kings
raigne
,
doth
challenge
this
power
to
himselfe
,
and
it
is
plaine
blasphemie
to
giue
it
to
any
other
.
Saint
Augustine
expressely
resolueth
that
Kings
neede
not
to
feare
to
lose
their
Kingdomes
,
or
that
their
Kingdome
shall
bee
taken
from
them
,
as
wretched
Herod
feared
,
and
therefore
out
of
all
question
,
August
.
in
Psalm
.
47.
there
is
no
such
authoritie
giuen
to
any
mortall
child
of
man
to
depose
Princes
.
But
although
I
thus
confidently
and
vpon
good
grounde
doe
pleade
against
the
Popes
vsurped
authoritie
,
yet
I
am
neither
so
seruily
sottish
,
or
so
superstitiouslie
conscienced
,
as
either
to
adore
earthlie
Princes
,
or
to
denie
that
any
Prince
established
may
be
touched
or
disobeyed
in
any
matter
:
for
as
I
haue
learned
to
giue
to
Caesar
that
which
is
Caesars
,
and
to
God
,
that
which
is
Gods
,
worshipping
the
Lord
onlie
with
Religious
worship
:
so
I
know
vsurpers
may
be
suppressed
by
rightfull
inheritance
,
as
Athalia
by
Iehoiada
,
and
in
our
land
Richard
the
third
,
by
Henrie
the
seuenth
:
and
to
our
Princes
wee
must
yeeld
such
obedience
as
the
Lorde
alloweth
,
obeying
them
in
the
Lord
,
chusing
rather
with
the
Disciples
to
obey
God
then
man
,
when
man
commaundeth
wicked
and
vnlawfull
things
.
And
so
leauing
you
(
Sir
Pope-Idolater
)
to
your
palpable
flatterie
,
and
to
please
and
defend
your
Nero
and
Caligula
,
as
a
more
fit
fellow
to
flatter
seriouslie
,
and
to
adore
such
saints
then
my selfe
,
I
stand
as
becommeth
me
in
loyaltie
for
my
Christian
,
and
religious
Soueraigne
,
and
so
will
doe
(
by
Gods
grace
)
whilest
I
liue
to
my
last
breath
.
Your
three
points
which
you
would
haue
to
bee
considered
vpon
my
speech
of
the
Bull
come
next
to
be
handled
,
by
which
you
would
gladlie
proue
,
that
not
the
malignitie
of
the
Pope
and
Papists
against
our
Prince
brought
forth
this
roring
Bull
,
but
some
dealings
of
ours
,
and
that
the
Popish
Recusants
are
not
to
be
accused
for
it
,
or
inforced
by
meanes
thereof
to
change
their
olde
beleefe
about
the
Popes
authoritie
.
Calend.
Martij
,
what
conclude
you
hereupon
?
Must
it
therefore
needes
follow
that
the
Bull
proceeded
not
from
any
malignitie
of
the
Pope
,
and
Papists
?
but
of
some
other
cause
,
as
out
of
mine
owne
words
you
would
seeme
to
proue
.
Your
argument
is
verie
weake
,
your
conclusion
cannot
bee
inforced
vpon
such
slender
premisses
.
The
malignitie
of
the
Papists
is
most
apparant
by
their
consulting
to
excommunicate
her
Maiestie
,
as
before
I
shewed
out
of
Cardinall
Allyn
,
by
Doctor
Stories
words
,
by
informations
giuen
against
her
,
which
you
confesse
,
whereupon
the
Pope
in
his
Bull
chargeth
her
with
many
things
most
vntruely
and
falselie
.
The
hatred
of
the
Pope
is
most
euident
,
calling
her
a
pretended
Queene
and
an
vsurper
,
euen
in
the
title
,
and
beginning
of
the
Bull.
And
though
the
Bull
was
not
published
till
the
12.
yeare
,
being
yet
concluded
vpon
about
two
yeares
before
,
as
the
date
sheweth
,
yet
both
the
Pope
and
his
adherents
might
as
well
fret
and
storme
at
her
enioying
of
the
Crowne
,
as
at
her
Christian
and
Religious
gouernment
.
Buls
are
not
hastelie
procured
,
your
Pope
must
be
sued
vnto
,
and
false
informations
must
be
giuen
,
and
it
might
be
as
they
had
vaine
hopes
for
a
time
to
feede
themselues
with
,
so
(
those
hopes
fayling
)
the
fittest
season
for
publishing
of
the
Bull
,
was
thought
to
be
when
others
were
prepared
to
raise
rebellion
.
The
second
point
is
a
matter
of
as
deepe
consideration
The
third
point
which
you
would
haue
considered
,
is
that
it
was
an
acte
of
iurisdiction
from
an
Ecclesiasticall
superiour
,
as
also
an
auncient
kinde
of
proceeding
against
Princes
in
our
land
,
as
well
as
in
other
places
without
any
trouble
to
the
people
for
the
same
,
and
therefore
you
would
not
haue
your
Catholikes
to
be
charged
with
it
,
or
troubled
for
it
.
For
answere
thereunto
this
I
affirme
,
that
as
wee
acknowledge
not
your
Popes
superioritie
,
or
Ecclesiasticall
iurisdiction
ouer
vs
,
he
playing
the
vsurping
Tirant
,
in
censuring
our
Prince
;
so
we
neither
yeelde
that
this
his
proude
and
malicious
cursing
and
excommunication
of
Princes
hath
been
of
long
continuance
;
or
that
those
his
adherents
,
who
iustifie
his
proceedings
are
to
bee
freed
from
blame
.
We
acknowledge
that
Princes
the
annointed
of
the
Lord
,
Submit
your selues
vnto
all
manner
ordinance
of
man
for
the
Lords
sake
,
whether
it
be
vnto
the
King
,
as
to
the
Superiour
,
&c.
he
speaketh
of
one
not
of
many
superiours
,
where
a
Monarchie
is
established
.
The
time
was
when
your
Bishop
of
Rome
was
far
from
hauing
a
superioritie
euen
in
Rome
and
his
dominions
;
for
both
Charles
the
great
,
and
Otho
the
great
,
had
right
soueraigntie
,
and
royaltie
of
the
Countries
giuen
to
your
Popes
,
with
acknowledgement
to
bee
their
Soueraigne
Lordes
,
in
regarde
of
which
they
yeelded
tributes
,
and
other
seruices
vnto
them
:
as
also
in
former
times
,
the
Emperours
had
their
Lieutenants
and
deputies
in
Rome
,
Valentinian
Theodosius
.
euen
to
Gregorie
the
seuenths
time
;
and
your
Popes
obtained
not
the
Soueraigntie
which
now
they
challenge
,
till
it
was
almost
1200.
yeares
after
Christ
,
in
the
daies
of
Alexander
the
third
,
and
Innocentius
the
third
,
both
Bishops
of
Rome
.
Your
vsuall
engine
of
excommunication
,
and
depriuing
of
Princes
of
their
Crownes
,
is
likewise
far
short
of
that
antiquitie
,
by
which
you
would
seeme
to
mitigate
the
rigour
and
crueltie
thereof
.
For
as
there
was
neuer
any
Romane
King
or
Emperor
excommunicated
and
depriued
of
his
kingdom
by
any
Bishop
of
Rome
before
Henry
the
fourth
Emperour
of
Rome
,
who
was
excommunicated
&
cursed
by
Gregory
the
seuenth
,
the
brand
of
hel
,
who
being
a
Necromancer
,
a
periured
person
,
and
a
most
wicked
man
,
confessed
at
his
death
to
a
Cardinall
that
he
was
set
on
by
the
Diuell
to
raise
vp
discord
,
and
warres
in
Christendome
:
so
in
England
from
the
conquest
vnto
King
Henrie
the
eight
,
there
was
no
Prince
of
this
land
deposed
by
your
pope
,
but
onely
King
Iohn
.
Sigebert
.
in
Anno
1088.
It
is
a
noueltie
(
Sir
N.D.
)
and
not
a
matter
of
antiquitie
(
as
Sigebert
telleth
you
,
)
to
teach
that
people
owe
no
subiection
to
euill
kings
,
&c.
As
for
that
you
say
that
Subiects
heretofore
in
our
land
haue
not
beene
troubled
,
or
forced
to
alter
their
beliefe
concerning
the
Popes
power
,
notwithstanding
his
cursing
and
depriuing
of
Princes
is
more
then
you
know
,
and
it
maketh
no
great
matter
whether
it
were
so
or
no
,
seeing
that
your
vse
of
excommunication
hath
not
been
so
frequent
in
our
land
,
and
your
dealings
were
neuer
so
treacherous
and
desperate
as
they
haue
been
of
late
.
Our
English
Nation
did
neuer
at
any
time
since
the
first
receiuing
of
the
faith
vnto
this
day
,
acknowledge
the
vsurped
power
of
your
Pope
to
depose
Princes
,
much
lesse
hath
it
been
anie
matter
of
our
faith
:
your
Pope
Nicholas
,
and
Boniface
the
eight
,
may
put
in
transubstantiation
to
be
an
Article
of
our
beliefe
,
and
make
your
popes
supremacie
of
the
necessitie
of
saluation
;
but
wee
haue
learned
to
ground
our
faith
vpon
the
Scriptures
of
God
,
which
teacheth
no
such
absurd
and
diuellish
points
.
The
lawes
of
our
land
haue
heretofore
in
King
Richard
the
seconds
time
,
and
Edward
the
thirds
time
,
made
it
treason
to
bring
in
any
excommunication
from
Rome
,
to
impugne
the
lawes
of
the
Realme
for
benefices
and
patronages
,
to
compasse
or
imagine
the
death
of
the
King
,
to
leuie
warre
against
the
Prince
,
or
to
be
adherent
and
fauourers
of
the
Kings
enemies
,
all
which
lawes
doe
verie
neerly
concerne
such
amongst
you
,
as
vouch
the
Popes
wicked
claime
to
depose
Princes
,
and
are
perswaders
,
aiders
,
and
comforters
of
inuasion
and
rebellion
:
Your
affections
wee
deale
not
with
,
but
with
your
confessions
,
wee
punish
you
not
,
for
your
faith
,
but
for
your
works
.
What
punishment
did
the
lawes
of
our
Realme
in
the
first
twentie
yeeres
of
her
Maiesties
raigne
inflict
vpon
anie
Recusant
for
his
recusancie
,
but
either
imprisonment
,
or
amercement
?
If
your
aduentures
had
not
been
most
audacious
,
and
your
attempts
most
dangerous
,
being
as
men
perplexed
and
enraged
to
see
her
Maiestie
liue
,
and
gouerne
in
so
long
happines
,
you
might
haue
been
stil
vsed
with
as
much
mercie
and
clemencie
,
as
it
is
possible
for
a
Christian
Prince
to
offer
to
vnrulie
,
and
vndutifull
subiects●
Princes
for
their
safetie
,
and
repressing
of
rebellions
,
may
temper
their
lawes
with
seuerity
,
and
make
that
treason
which
to
some
seemeth
a
matter
of
Religion
;
as
wee
see
in
Augustines
time
,
Aug.
contraliterai
Petil.

●
.
ca.
92.
it
was
treason
to
say
that
Emperours
perished
for
persecuting
,
which
yet
Petilian
and
his
companie
thought
they
might
say
trulie
and
zealously
.
You
desire
a
reconciliation
betweene
your
Pope
and
our
Prince
,
longing
to
see
the
daie
when
you
might
againe
imbrue
your
handes
in
the
bloud
of
Gods
Saints
;
but
as
wee
know
there
can
be
no
agreement
betweene
light
and
darknes
,
so
wee
doubt
not
but
the
powerfull
and
mightie
God
will
continue
our
Prince
all
her
daies
to
be
a
true
defender
of
the
faith
;
and
will
preserue
his
poore
flocke
from
the
sauage
crueltie
and
bloudines
of
woluish
tirants
,
and
Romish
Prelates
.
Our
sinnes
indeed
doe
hasten
vpon
vs
the
seueritie
of
Gods
iustice
;
but
our
hope
is
,
that
the
God
of
heauen
will
for
his
mercies
sake
be
fauourable
vnto
his
Sion
,
and
continue
his
truth
,
and
true
worship
amongst
vs
,
wherein
standeth
our
chiefest
happines
:
Dauids
was
.
Let
not
the
vngodly
haue
his
desire
ô
Lord
,
let
not
his
mischieuous
imaginations
prosper
,
least
they
be
too
proud
.
It
may
be
the
Lord
himselfe
will
correct
vs
in
mercie
,
Why
is
his
Chariot
so
long
in
comming
?
Why
tarry
the
wheeles
of
his
Chariot
?
So
let
thine
enemies
O
Lord
,
&
the
enemies
of
thine
annointed
perish
,
but
let
them
that
loue
thee
,
and
thy
truth
continue
as
the
Sunne
when
he
riseth
in
his
might
,
&
as
Oliue
plants
in

house
of

that
flourish

Amen

The
third

in

Encounter
you

Babington

that
with
violent
hands
sought

abridge
our
Soueraignes
life

Are
not
these
open
hostilities
,
and
open
and
actuall
proofes
that
there
is
in
you
a
resolution

That

procuring

matched
with
Christ
from
point
to
point
,
and
his
miracles
with
Christes
miracles
:
of
whom
it
is
there
also
written
,
that
he
repented
him
for
deuising
of
his
habite
,
because
God
had
reuealed
to
him
,
that
out
of
his
order
Antichrist
and
his
sect
should
come
:
and
so
Sir
Francis
leaueth
you
to
honour
your
Saint
Francis
at
your
pleasure
,
as
a
fit
Saint
for
you
to
adore
in
your
Pope-holie
worship
.
As
for
the
two
next
Traytors
by
you
mentioned
,
Francis
Throgmorton
,
and
Charles
Paget
,
whom
you
labour
likewise
to
excuse
;
the
first
receiued
his
iust
censure
by
the
course
of
Iustice
,
and
that
is
a
iust
proofe
to
all
honest
men
of
his
treasons
;
yet
seeing
you
seeke
so
shameleslie
,
and
vnhonestlie
to
extenuate
his
fault
,
I
heartilie
praie
the
reader
to
way
your
owne
confession
against
him
:
You
say
he
had
the
description
of
certaine
Portes
found
in
his
Chamber
,
that
hee
had
some
intelligence
with
the
Queene
of
Scots
,
&
with
Barnardin
Mendoza
,
the
King
of
Spaines
Ambassadour
.
Why
(
Sir
Encounterer
)
haue
you
forgotten
that
Mendoza
in
steede
of
performing
the
honorable
parts
of
a
well
accepted
Ambassadour
,
did
most
treacherouslie
seeke
to
betraie
both
the
Queene
and
State
,
by
practising
all
that
he
could
to
set
vp
the
Queene
of
Scots
?
and
doe
you
not
remember
,
that
it
was
high
time
to
cut
off
this
Scottish
Queene
,
who
ceased
not
dailie
to
practise
the
death
of
our
deere
Soueraigne
?
and
doe
you
thinke
there
could
bee
any
good
meaning
in
Throgmorton
to
collect
Plots
,
and
descriptions
of
our
Portes
,
hauing
intelligence
with
the
Queene
of
Scots
and
Mendoza
,
and
an
Inuasion
being
plotted
and
purposed
against
vs
from
Spaine
?
And
if
nothing
else
had
been
proued
against
him
,
can
the
height
of
your
wit
,
and
iudgement
in
State
matters
(
whereof
you
so
much
glorie
)
cleare
him
from
being
a
Traitor
?
But
it
is
well
known
to
the
Honorable
of
our
land
,
and
those
whom
they
employed
to
examine
him
,
that
his
owne
confession
conuinceth
him
of
more
then
it
pleaseth
you
to
set
downe
:
and
by
this
all
the
world
may
see
and
perceiue
your
disloyall
,
and
dishonest
meaning
both
to
Queene
and
State
,
in
thus
colouring
treasons
,
and
defending
Traitors
.
But
you
will
needes
free
Charles
Paget
also
another
traitour
,
and
whose
fault
you
say
was
nothing
,
but
that
he
went
beyond
the
Seas
,
for
that
he
could
not
liue
with
his
Conscience
at
home
:
But
(
Sir
Encounterer
)
you
shall
finde
that
with
more
conscience
he
might
haue
kept
home
,
for
whereas
you
say
hee
went
ouer
to
free
his
Conscience
,
you
shall
well
perceiue
that
at
his
being
beyond
the
Seas
,
hee
made
shipwracke
of
Conscience
and
common
honestie
.
Caelum
non
animum
mutant
qui
trans
mare
currunt
.
They
change
the
ayre
that
Seas
doe
passe
,
But
minde
remaines
the
same
it
was
.
I
will
not
stand
vpon
that
hath
been
reported
of
his
stealing
ouer
hither
for
little
goodnes
,
changing
his
name
(
which
is
seldome
the
note
of
an
honest
man
)
and
calling
himselfe
Mope
:
but
bee
it
knowne
to
you
(
Sir
N.D.
)
he
was
at
the
consultation
when
Yorke
and
Williams
had
their
dispatch
to
goe
kill
her
Maiestie
,
and
againe
hee
and
Thomas
Throgmorton
should
haue
furnished
Michael
Moodie
with
money
to
come
ouer
to
the
same
wicked
ende
:
This
sheweth
a
worthie
Conscience
,
and
yet
no
man
knoweth
what
conscience
meaneth
but
your selfe
,
although
you
shew
very
little
conscience
or
none
at
all
in
this
your
traiterous
Apologie
for
them
.
The
other
two
Earles
you
will
also
defend
,
Richard
Hun
,
and
not
ours
in
this
or
any
the
like
,
and
iniurie
to
the
other
for
being
iustlie
proceeded
against
,
for
whom
you
blush
not
to
affirme
,
that
nothing
could
bee
laide
against
him
but
flying
for
his
conscience
,
and
either
hearing
or
causing
a
Masse
to
be
saide
in
the
Tower
:
when
as
hundreths
can
witnes
that
(
besides
diuers
other
dangerous
conferences
by
letters
and
speeches
)
it
was
directlie
proued
,
that
he
made
a
prayer
for
the
prosperous
successe
of
the
King
of
Spaine
and
his
forces
,
being
raised
against
her
Maiestie
,
who
were
thought
to
be
vpon
the
Sea
,
comming
on
to
attempt
an
Inuasion
,
and
to
conquer
our
Land
,
and
tendred
the
same
to
be
said
by
other
prisoners
as
well
as
himselfe
;
and
therefore
his
fault
was
more
then
flying
for
Conscience
,
or
hearing
a
Masse
,
which
also
hath
ioyned
to
it
a
reconciliation
to
the
Chruch
of
Rome
:
Yet
this
in
your
Romish
and
traiterous
vaine-glorie
,
you
recken
to
bee
a
glorious
and
holie
treason
,
which
is
not
strange
in
men
of
your
sect
,
who
often
thinke
you
doe
God
good
seruice
,
when
you
commit
great
wickednes
and
impietie
;
yet
in
this
you
might
haue
shewed
your selfe
more
wise
and
honest
to
suspend
your
iudgement
,
when
ignorance
doth
conceale
from
you
the
faultes
for
which
by
course
of
Lawe
and
Iustice
men
are
condemned
(
if
you
were
in
deede
ignorant
of
them
)
and
not
to
be
ouer
hastie
to
iustifie
the
wicked
.
But
you
are
so
forward
to
be
a
patron
for
such
actors
,
and
actions
,
traitors
and
treasons
,
as
it
is
not
vnlike
you
would
proue
your selfe
a
very
sound
man
to
Queene
and
State
,
if
you
were
in
place
to
be
throughlie
sifted
.
We
recken
little
to
bee
iudged
of
you
,
&c.
You
continue
to
impute
to
me
to
haue
a
rayling
and
slaunderous
tongue
;
but
as
I
haue
sufficientlie
cleared
my selfe
from
wrongfull
charging
of
any
,
so
I
had
rather
in
your
account
to
be
so
deemed
for
speaking
sharplie
against
Traitours
and
treason
,
then
out
of
a
disloyall
heart
(
as
you
doe
)
to
darken
and
smoothe
both
the
one
and
the
other
.
And
so
neither
feeling
any
of
your
blowes
giuen
(
whereof
you
proudelie
and
vainely
brag
)
nor
regarding
your
threatned
bastinadoes
so
long
as
you
dare
not
appeare
&
shew
your
face
I
rest
assured
,
that
(
whatsoeuer
your
railing
tongue
writeth
of
me
,
or
your
malicious
heart
iudgeth
of
me
)
the
Honorable
and
wise
of
the
Land
will
iudge
mee
to
haue
more
truth
and
Charitie
,
then
you
loyaltie
or
common
honestie
:
for
it
cannot
stand
with
loyaltie
to
smooth
the
faultes
of
traitours
,
or
with
honestie
to
rayle
at
any
that
giueth
warning
to
Subiects
to
take
heede
of
their
treasous
.
Resistance
to
the
fourth
Encounter
,
concerning
Bishop
Gardiner
,
and
Cardinall
Allen
.
I
Haue
been
the
longer
in
my
resistance
to
the
three
former
Encounters
,
because
they
are
most
materiall
,
and
of
greatest
importance
:
the
first
concerning
the
blessings
of
almightie
God
powred
vpon
this
land
,
through
the
happie
raigne
of
his
handmaide
and
our
Soueraigne
Elizabeth
:
the
second
about
the
absurd
Popish
positions
which
this
wrangler
saith
(
but
saith
onely
without
iust
proofe
)
are
falselie
imputed
to
them
:
the
third
touching
the
person
of
her
Maiestie
,
and
her
marueilous
deliuerances
from
many
daungers
,
both
before
her
obtaining
the
Crowne
,
and
since
her
establishment
in
the
same
.
The
rest
that
follow
in
his
other
Encounters
are
of
smaller
moment
,
and
of
all
that
are
indifferent
and
not
partiall
amongst
vs
,
generallie
knowne
and
acknowledged
,
and
therefore
shall
neede
the
lesse
my
labour
and
paines
to
laie
them
open
.
But
for
orders
sake
to
take
a
short
view
of
them
,
as
they
are
by
him
headed
out
:
In
this
Encounter
hee
bringeth
in
a
yoake
of
Popish
Prelates
,
Bishop
Gardiner
and
Cardinall
Allen
,
like
will
to
like
,
(
you
know
what
followeth
)
and
in
deede
milke
is
not
liker
milke
,
nor
one
egge
another
,
then
were
these
two
statelie
Prelates
,
each
of
them
being
brides
of
the
Popes
owne
hatching
,
and
as
it
is
in
the
Prouerbe
,
Mali
corui
,
malum
ouum
,
and
both
of
them
for
the
Popes
sake
being
false
and
treacherous
against
their
Soueraignes
.
Cardinall
Allen
against
her
Maiestie
(
as
hereafter
shall
bee
shewed
)
Bishop
Gardiner
against
her
renowmed
Father
,
when
he
was
Ambassadour
for
the
King
to
the
Emperour
,
hauing
secret
intelligence
with
the
Pope
,
then
the
Kings
open
and
professed
enemie
,
in
so
much
that
the
King
in
euery
generall
pardon
that
he
graunted
by
Parliament
after
this
practise
,
he
did
still
except
all
treasons
committed
beyond
the
Seas
:
meaning
thereby
(
as
it
was
supposed
)
that
the
Bishop
should
not
take
any
benefite
by
any
generall
pardon
,
if
his
Maiestie
would
at
any
time
call
him
to
account
:
and
further
minded
(
as
it
seemeth
)
to
haue
vsed
extremitie
of
lawe
against
him
,
(
if
the
Lord
had
lent
his
Highnes
longer
life
)
vpon
iust
matter
not
taken
away
by
any
pardon
,
commaunding
thereupon
often
the
Lorde
Paget
(
being
then
his
Secretarie
)
to
keepe
safe
certain
writings
which
he
had
against
him
.
But
the
parities
,
or
disparities
of
your
two
Prelates
by
you
compared
together
,
I
passe
ouer
as
matter
impertinent
,
and
come
to
your
exceptions
against
my
speeches
vttered
of
them
in
particular
.
And
first
concerning
Bishop
Gardiner
he
setteth
downe
these
my
speeches
.
Gardiner
that
most
proude
and
bloodie
monster
,
left
no
corner
of
his
wit
vnsought
,
to
shorten
her
Maiesties
daies
,
and
preuent
her
by
the
bloodie
slaughter
of
her
sacred
person
,
from
being
our
Queene
.
And
againe
,
The
Recusants
of
our
age
cannot
professe
,
nor
make
greater
shew
of
loyaltie
and
loue
to
our
dread
Soueraigne
,
neither
,
&c.
Iohn
Lambert
as
he
did
:
O
Lord
,
what
will
my
Lord
doe
?
will
his
Lordship
compell
me
to
accuse
men
,
and
wote
not
wherof
?
After
this
the
Bishop
himself
talketh
with
him
,
&
asketh
him
whether
he
wil
cast
away
himself
?
To
whom
he
answering
,
no
my
Lord
,
I
trust
:
yes
quoth
the
Bishop
,
thou
goest
about
it
,
for
thou
wilt
vtter
nothing
.
What
a
diuell
made
thee
meddle
with
the
Scriptures
,
thy
vocation
was
another
way
;
&c.
and
why
the
diuell
diddest
thou
not
hold
thee
there
?
Sith
thou
art
so
wilfull
and
stubborne
,
thou
shalt
goe
to
the
diuell
for
me
.
And
so
,
whereas
Sir
Anthonie
Wingfield
Captaine
of
the
Guard
,
had
before
sent
word
to
the
keeper
of
the
Marshalsey
,
that
it
was
the
Counsels
pleasure
,
he
should
intreat
Marbecke
gently
:
this
charitable
&
tender
hearted
Gardiner
sent
word
to
the
keeper
,
to
lay
yrons
vpon
him
,
to
keepe
him
fast
shut
in
a
chamber
,
alone
that
(
when
he
came
to
meat
)
he
should
speake
to
no
man
,
nor
no
man
to
him
;
and
further
that
he
should
suffer
no
manner
of
person
(
no
not
his
own
wife
)
to
come
to
him
,
or
minister
anie
thing
to
him
,
and
in
this
streight
and
hard
sort
continued
he
about
three
weekes
.
His
wife
made
often
sute
to
the
Bishop
to
be
permitted
to
visite
her
husband
,
but
his
bowels
wanted
compassion
,
till
at
length
she
meeting
him
at
the
Court
,
was
bold
to
pul
him
by
the
Rochet
and
said
to
him
:
O
my
Lord
these
eighteene
daies
I
haue
troubled
your
Lordship
,
now
for
the
loue
of
God
,
and
as
euer
you
came
of
a
woman
,
put
me
off
no
longer
,
but
let
me
goe
to
my
husband
:
One
of
the
kings
seruants
,
and
her
next
neighbour
standing
by
,
besought
him
to
be
good
Lord
to
her
;
which
had
her
owne
mother
lying
bedredde
vpon
her
hands
,
besides
fiue
or
six
children
.
I
promise
you
(
quoth
the
Bishop
)
her
husband
is
a
great
heretike
,
In
Queene
Maries
time
when
he
was
now
Lord
Chancellor
,
&
ruled
the
rost
,
how
far
not
onely
from
tender
pittie
,
but
euen
from
ciuill
humanitie
,
hee
shewed
himselfe
to
bee
,
the
examples
are
too
many
,
and
experiments
too
plaine
;
and
therefore
needlesse
here
to
be
inserted
.
But
a
taste
must
be
giuen
to
the
Reader
,
for
which
this
may
suffice
:
when
that
reuerent
learned
man
,
(
and
afterwards
a
most
constant
Martyr
of
Iesus
Christ
)
D.
Rowland
Taylor
,
His
dealing
with
Master
Philpot
Archdeacon
of
Winchester
,
Boner
,
Gardiner
died
,
Now
ye
thinke
because
my
Lord
Chancellour
is
dead
,
we
will
●●●●e
no
moe
.
Which
wordes
what
doe
they
argue
else
?
but
that
howsoeuer
some
Bishops
and
other
Clergie
Masters
were
the
inferiour
executioners
,
yet
Gardiner
the
Lord
Chancellour
was
the
Arch-Dedalus
and
chiefe
master
of
the
worke
,
and
he
that
did
blow
the
bellowes
to
kindle
all
the
fires
wherein
the
bodies
of
so
many
Martyrs
were
consumed
to
ashes
.
The
which
will
appeare
more
plainly
,
if
we
consider
a
memorable
storie
set
downe
by
Master
Foxe
of
him
,
reported
by
two
credible
persons
of
worship
in
the
house
of
a
worshipfull
Citizen
bearing
then
office
in
the
Citie
of
London
,
from
Master
Mundaie
secretarie
sometime
to
the
old
Lord
Thomas
Duke
of
Norffolke
;
namely
,
that
the
same
day
Master
Ridley
and
Master
Latimer
were
burnt
at
Oxford
,
the
olde
Duke
of
Norffolke
with
this
reporter
his
secretarie
attending
on
him
,
came
to
Bishop
Gardiners
house
;
the
olde
aged
Duke
wayting
there
for
his
dinner
,
the
Bishop
was
not
disposed
to
dine
,
till
at
length
about
foure
of
the
clocke
commeth
in
his
seruant
in
all
post
haste
from
Oxford
,
assuring
the
Bishop
most
certainly
that
he
saw
fire
put
to
them
.
Then
commeth
out
Gardiner
reioycing
to
the
Duke
,
But
not
to
stand
vpon
the
deuotion
of
this
your
milde
Bishop
,
who
would
not
eate
till
he
were
sure
of
the
death
of
these
two
worthies
(
a
deuotion
matchable
with
that
of
the
Tyrant
Richard
the
third
,
then
but
Protector
,
who
sware
by
Saint
Paule
that
he
would
not
dine
till
the
Lord
Hastings
head
were
off
,
and
would
needs
stay
so
long
for
his
oathes
sake
)
nor
vpon
the
great
ioy
this
Bishop
conceiued
at
the
certaine
report
of
their
deaths
,
as
if
the
shedding
of
Christian
bloud
had
been
to
him
as
the
obteyning
of
great
treasures
;
nor
yet
vpon
the
fearfull
iudgement
of
God
,
so
vpon
the
present
,
and
on
the
suddaine
inflicted
vpon
him
:
I
will
remember
this
one
thing
,
how
that
the
Dutches
of
Suffolke
espying
him
in
the
Tower
,
(
being
the
prisoner
)
inking
Edwards
raigne
:
said
it
was
merrie
with
the
Lambes
,
now
the
Wolfe
was
shut
vp
:
which
speech
,
this
your
gentle
natured
Bishop
,
and
nothing
vindicatiue
(
as
you
terme
him
)
well
remembred
in
Queene
Maries
time
,
and
therfore
in
the
first
lent
of
her
raigne
,
studied
an
holie
practise
of
reuenge
,
first
by
touching
this
Dutches
in
the
person
of
her
husband
Master
Bertye
,
for
whom
he
sent
an
attachment
to
the
Sherife
of
Lincolneshire
,
with
a
speciall
letter
,
commaunding
him
most
strictly
to
attach
him
,
and
without
Bale
to
bring
him
vp
to
him
to
London
,
whereas
he
had
no
cause
at
all
to
send
for
him
.
Afterwards
examineth
him
of
the
Dutches
his
wiues
Religion
,
whether
she
was
now
as
readie
to
set
vp
the
Masse
,
What
should
I
stand
vpon
any
further
matter
to
lay
open
the
nature
&
disposition
of
this
your
milde
Prelate
?
Boner
who
knew
him
better
then
you
(
Sir
Encounterer
)
doth
more
then
iustifie
me
in
that
large
description
of
Gardiners
nature
,
&
disposition
,
After
this
flourish
to
make
shew
in
generall
of
the
Bishops
milde
mature
(
whereof
by
these
fewe
)
It
was
so
farre
off
from
Gardiners
condition
and
nature
(
saith
this
forward
Proctor
)
that
he
dareth
say
I
doe
him
apparent
and
wilfull
wrong
.
What
(
Sir
)
if
for
malice
he
might
be
compared
to
the
diuell
,
(
as
Boner
witnesseth
)
what
could
be
more
agreeable
to
his
nature
,
then
to
seeke
the
bloud
of
so
gracious
and
innocent
a
Ladie
?
And
seemeth
not
(
trow
ye
)
his
case
to
be
verie
good
which
so
wooddie
,
yea
so
hot
,
and
fierie
a
Patrone
seekes
to
maintaine
with
so
slender
and
cold
a
defence
,
as
I
dare
say
he
doth
him
apparunt
and
wilfull
wrong
?
But
he
addeth
,
she
was
an
obiect
rather
of
loue
and
compassion
,
then
of
enuie
,
and
hatred
:
But
what
loue
could
proceede
from
him
that
was
of
an
hard
heart
,
and
cancred
malicious
stomacke
?
what
compassion
could
he
shewe
whose
verie
bowels
were
cruell
?
As
for
the
misterious
bracelet
of
which
this
brabler
talketh
,
in
which
all
the
secrecie
of
Wyats
conspiracie
was
said
to
lie
hidden
,
which
Gardiner
farther
pierced
then
any
other
,
but
neuer
vsed
or
vrged
the
knowledge
gotten
thereof
,
to
the
Ladies
perill
:
I
answere
,
that
the
misterie
of
this
Shemeis
treacherie
against
that
innocent
Ladie
,
Then
hath
your
Grace
the
aduantage
of
me
,
and
other
of
the
Lords
,
for
your
long
and
wrong
Imprisonment
.
As
for
his
concealing
of
any
thing
that
hee
might
finde
against
her
,
or
desire
to
free
her
from
daunger
:
who
knoweth
not
how
farre
both
hee
and
the
rest
of
the
Clergie
were
from
any
such
inclination
?
For
when
Wyat
at
his
death
cleered
the
Ladie
Elizabeth
,
Doctor
Weston
cried
,
Beleeue
him
not
good
People
,
&c.
Which
being
related
to
Sir
Thomas
White
then
Lord
Maior
,
he
was
moued
at
the
bloudie
humour
of
this
Popish
Doctor
,
and
said
of
him
with
indignation
,
In
sooth
I
neuer
tooke
him
but
for
a
knaue
.
But
was
your
Bishop
more
mildlie
affected
then
the
Doctor
?
Nay
hee
was
so
vnwilling
to
haue
her
cleered
,
as
hee
chafed
exceedinglie
at
a
poore
Apprentise
in
London
,
for
saying
that
Wyat
had
cleered
her
,
and
the
Lord
Courtney

A

She

as

Yet
brings
no

euen
so
the

Philip
a

married

then
leaues
her
with

speede
;
A

,

th'
attempts

Papists

Which

their

Countrie
seele
the
ruine
and

fall
.
Now
I
come
to
the
great
fume
and
chafe
of
this
hot
Encounterer
,
for
that
I
say
the
Recusants
cannot
professe
more
loue
and
loyaltie
to
the
Queene
that
now
is
,
then
did
Gardiner
,
Boner
and
Tunstal
to
her
noble
Father
and
Brother
,
which
they
did
confirme
by
Printed
bookes
:
for
Gardiner
in
his
booke
de
vera
obedientia
,
&c.
where
like
a
graue
States-man
,
AWake
ye
ghostlie
persons
,
awake
,
awake
,
Both
Priest
,
Pope
,
Bishop
,
and
Cardinall
:
Consider
wiselie
what
waies
that
ye
take
,
Daungerouslie
being
like
to
haue
a
fall
:
Euery
where
the
mischiefe
of
you
all
,
Farre
and
neere
breaketh
out
very
fast
,
God
will
needes
be
reuenged
at
the
last
.
How
long
haue
ye
the
world
captiued
?
In
sore
bondage
of
mens
traditions
,
Kings
and
Emperours
you
haue
depriued
,
Lewdly
vsurping
their
chiefe
possessions
.
Much
miserie
you
make
in
all
Regions
,
Now
your
fraudes
be
almost
at
the
last
cast
,
Of
God
sure
to
be
reuenged
at
last
.
Poore
people
to
oppresse
you
haue
no
shame
,
Quaking
for
feare
of
your
bloudie
tyrannie
,
Rightfull
Iustice
you
haue
put
out
of
frame
,
Seeking
the
lust
of
your
God
the
Bellie
;
Therefore
●●d●re
you
holdlie
ce●tifie
,
Very
little
though
you
be
thereof
agast
,
Yet
God
will
be
reuenged
at
the
last
.
But
to
looke
backe
a
little
vpon
this
famous
Sermon
,
in
the
long
narration
that
you
set
down
by
occasion
of
this
Sermon
,
I
must
examine
some
few
points
,
wherin
either
this
Proctor
belieth
the
Bishop
,
or
the
Bishop
the
King
.
And
first
if
it
be
true
that
he
affirmeth
that
King
Henrie
the
eight
appointed
Gardiner
to
be
one
of
the
sixteene
Counsellors
in
his
testament
to
gouerne
his
Sonne
,
and
the
Realme
:
how
happened
it
that
Sir
Anthonie
Browne
was
so
earnest
and
importunate
a
sutor
to
the
King
,
to
haue
Gardiner
put
into
his
Will
againe
when
he
was
put
out
?
A
third
thing
in
this
discourse
you
alleadge
,
that
Bishop
Gardiner
was
wont
to
say
of
King
Henrie
,
that
after
he
left
to
loue
that
person
which
by
Gods
law
,
and
mans
law
,
he
was
bound
to
loue
aboue
all
others
(
to
wit
his
first
wife
and
Queene
)
he
neuer
loued
anie
person
heartilie
,
and
constantlie
after
.
Whereunto
I
shortly
answere
,
that
concerning
his
often
changes
of
his
wiues
putting
som
to
death
,
Sith
there
is
commaundement
that
a
man
shall
not
marrie
his
brother's
wife
,
what
could
the
King
:
excellent
Maiestie
〈◊〉
otherwise
then
he
did
?
by
the
consent
of
the
people
and
iudgement
of
his
Church
,
that
is
,
be
diuorced
from
vnlawfull
marriage
,
and
vse
lawfull
and
permitted
●●●●●●tion
:
and
obeying
(
as
〈◊〉
it
〈◊〉
)
conformablie
〈◊〉
commaundement
,
cast
off
her
whom
neither
law
,
nor
right
permitted
him
to
haue
,
and
take
him
to
chast
and
lawfull
marriage
?
Wherein
although
the
sentence
of
Gods
word
(
whereto
all
things
ought
●●s●oupe
)
might
suffice
:
yet
his
Maiestie
was
contented
,
to
haue
the
assisting
consents
of
the
most
notable
graue
men
,
and
the
censures
of
the
most
famous
Vniuersities
of
the
whole
world
:
and
all
to
the
intent
,
that
men
should
see
he
did
both
that
he
might
,
&
ought
to
do
vprightly
,
seeing
the
best
learned
,
&
most
worthy
men
haue
subcribed
to
it
,
shewing
therein
such
obedience
,
as
Gods
word
requireth
of
euerie
good
and
godly
man
;
so
as
it
may
be
said
that
both
he
obeyed
God
,
and
obeied
him
truly
,
&c.
Hitherto
Gardiners
words
.
Who
reading
this
discourse
of
Gardiner
,
concerning
the
kings
first
vnlawful
,
&
his
second
lawful
mariage
,
would
euer
haue
suspected
such
mutability
in
the
man
?
so
suddainely
to
turne
the
Cat
(
as
the
Prouerbe
is
)
in
the
panne
,
approuing
that
which
before
he
openlie
condemned
,
and
condemning
that
which
before
he
publikely
approued
?
or
who
noting
this
his
inconstancie
,
and
not
this
onely
,
but
the
other
of
condemning
and
abiuring
the
Popes
Supremacie
,
and
earnest
maintaining
of
it
againe
;
will
not
thinke
him
a
verie
Proteus
,
which
can
change
himselfe
into
all
shapes
,
serue
all
times
,
sooth
all
Princes
affections
,
with
,
●it
,
aio
,
negat
,
nego
?
And
so
I
leaue
,
your
wauering
Bishoppe
,
and
come
to
your
constant
Cardinall
.
About
whom
you
professe
to
be
verie
briefe
;
Puis
Quintus
his
Bull
against
her
Maiestie
:
yet
he
both
affirmeth
,
that
these
two
learned
men
,
of
great
zeale
,
and
excellencie
,
had
their
speciall
reasons
to
doe
so
.
And
in
another
treatise
,
Viz.
his
defence
of
Sir
William
Stanlies
act
in
giuing
ouer
Deuentre
to
the
King
of
Spaine
,
he
doth
as
fully
approue
the
Bull
,
as
anie
of
the
other
:
which
though
I
condemne
(
as
good
cause
I
should
,
being
a
point
of
so
high
treason
,
as
that
the
Queene
being
by
the
Pope
deposed
,
is
no
longer
Queene
no●
to
bee
obeyed
)
yet
you
answere
for
him
smoothly
,
that
he
must
needs
be
of
like
iudgement
,
with
Saunders
and
the
rest
:
and
that
he
might
speake
his
mind
plainely
,
(
being
in
the
place
and
dignitie
that
he
was
)
when
occasion
should
be
offered
.
For
a
further
defence
yet
of
your
Cardinall
,
you
alleadge
the
example
of
childrens
sorrow
,
sort
are
fitter
to
weepe
and
mourne
,
then
to
determine
the
controuersies
,
and
that
the
elder
sort
may
speake
more
freely
,
and
interpose
their
iudgements
also
,
(
but
euer
with
due
reuerence
to
both
parents
,
&c.
)
All
which
by
way
of
similitude
you
apply
to
our
Queene
as
a
mother
,
and
your
Pope
as
a
father
;
and
to
your
Saundrs
,
Allen
,
Bristow
,
Stapleton
,
&c.
as
elder
brethren
,
and
to
the
Priestes
and
lay
men
in
England
as
yonger
brethren
,
&c.
which
similitude
consisteth
of
nothing
but
dissimilitudes
.
For
first
the
Pope
is
no
way
our
father
,
and
therfore
our
obedience
,
reuerence
,
&
loue
,
not
to
be
deuided
betwixt
the
Queene
and
him
,
[

](A02797-e15310-b)
1
The
Pope
no
way
our
father
.
as
the
childrens
betwixt
the
father
and
mother
:
the
Queene
is
our
mother
,
both
nourishing
vs
as
a
tender
parent
in
things
temporall
,
as
also
in
taking
care
for
the
Church
of
Christ
in
this
land
,
in
things
spiritual
,
according
to
the
Lords
promise
by
the
Prophet
to
his
Church
.
Kings
shall
be
thy
nursing
fathers
,
and
Queenes
thy
nurses
:
So
did
Iehosaphat
,
Ezechias
,
Iosias
,
amongest
the
Iewes
;
Constantine
,
Iustinian
,
Charles
the
great
,
with
other
like
Princes
amongst
the
Christians
,
commaund
and
make
lawes
in
causes
ecclesiasticall
,
and
acknowledged
no
vniuersal
father-hood
of
your
Pope
.
I
wish
he
did
discharge
the
dutie
of
a
true
spirituall
father
within
his
owne
Diocesse
and
Bishopricke
,
but
it
is
an
hard
testimonie
that
Laurentius
Valla
giueth
him
.
Papas
dici
nomine
Patres
,
re
Parricidas
,
that
the
Popes
are
called
fathers
in
name
,
but
in
deed
they
are
Parricides
.
[

Your
elder
brethren
yeeld
not
due
reuerence
to
the
Queene
their
mother
.
Againe
,
if
the
elder
brethren
interpose
their
iudgement
betwixt
their
Parents
,
by
your
own
confession
it
must
euer
be
with
due
reuerence
to
both
partes
:
this
reuerence
your
elder
brethren
haue
not
shewed
towards
the
Queene
,
(
too
good
a
mother
for
so
vngracious
Impes
,
)
whom
they
not
onely
call
heretike
,
pretended
Queene
,
vsurper
,
&c.
but
haue
by
all
meanes
sought
the
murthering
of
her
sacred
person
.
Thirdly
,
the
yonger
children
(
you
say
)
must
holde
their
peace
and
mourne
for
the
contentions
,
but
not
intermeddle
:
[

](A02797-e15390-b)
3
Your
yonger
brethren
are
the
elders
agents
against
the
Queene
.
But
(
Sir
)
your
elder
brethren
,
(
whom
you
allow
to
speake
)
are
farre
enough
from
reach
,
they
may
safely
define
what
they
will
against
the
Queene
,
and
cast
abroad
their
iudgements
in
railing
bookes
to
yonger
brethren
,
to
settle
in
them
a
consent
therto
:
Which
being
done
,
they
must
yet
make
shew
not
to
intermeddle
,
to
the
end
they
may
the
better
auoide
perill
to
their
persons
,
&
secretly
hearten
the
people
against
her
Maiestie
.
Take
an
instance
hereof
,
from
one
of
your
yonger
brethren
,
one
Paine
a
Priest
:
Besides
this
,
your
Cardinall
Allen
,
Doctor
Worthington
and
others
(
as
elder
brethren
)
sent
Richard
Hesketh
a
Gentleman
of
Lancashire
and
a
younger
brother
,
To
ende
with
this
Cardinall
,
who
(
thanks
be
to
God
)
ended
his
life
before
he
could
attaine
the
expected
end
of
his
traiterous
dessignments
:
doth
he
not
perswade
that
it
is
not
onely
lawfull
,
but
honorable
to
murther
Princes
for
Religion
?
for
(
saith
hee
)
There
is
no
warre
in
the
world
,
so
iust
,
or
honorable
,
be
it
ciuill
,
or
forraine
,
as
that
which
is
waged
for
Religion
:
euerie
word
in
it
was
a
warrant
to
a
prepared
mind
:
Resistance
to
the
fift
Encounter
,
concerning
the
Iesuites
.
THe
sundrie
occurrents
in
his
last
Encounter
about
Bishop
Gardiner
and
Cardinall
Allen
,
I
doe
not
heare
that
the
Popes
holines
is
so
purged
from
ambition
,
or
so
reconciled
to
Religion
,
as
he
meaneth
not
to
continue
his
clayme
for
the
Supremacie
,
or
will
cease
to
settle
the
dregs
of
his
poysonfull
and
superstitious
doctrine
amongst
vs
.
I
cannot
perceiue
that
the
thirst
of
Parsons
and
his
Pew-fellowes
is
yet
quenched
,
for
seeking
the
bloud
of
our
deare
Soueraigne
,
and
in
her
the
destruction
of
vs
all
,
the
cause
remaining
still
,
for
which
heretofore
they
haue
sought
it
,
&c.
And
here
first
like
a
right
Hicke-scorner
(
as
in
deed
scorning
and
rayling
are
the
flowers
wherewith
hee
doth
garnish
all
his
speech
)
hee
noteth
the
fond
and
ridiculous
manner
of
my
fantasticall
writing
(
as
it
is
his
pleasure
to
censure
it
)
and
because
his
note
,
if
it
were
not
worth
noting
,
men
would
thinke
it
worth
nothing
:
therefore
hee
also
painteth
his
margent
therewith
,
that
ye
might
not
faile
to
remember
it
,
in
these
words
[
Sir
Francis
ridiculous
.
]
Festus
called
Paul
a
madde
man
,
who
yet
spake
the
words
of
truth
and
sobernes
,
the
madnes
was
in
Festus
himselfe
:
euen
so
(
gentle
Sir
)
I
doubt
not
,
but
to
sober
men
I
shall
appeare
to
write
soberlie
,
howsoeuer
you
iudge
me
ridiculous
,
and
the
follie
shall
rest
in
your
owne
bosome
.
And
therefore
I
say
againe
,
that
I
doe
not
heare
,
(
nay
more
then
that
,
I
doubt
I
shall
neuer
heare
)
that
the
Popes
holines
is
so
purged
from
ambition
,
Honorio

Anathema
;
Cursed
be
Honorius
the
heretike
:
Creatura
Papae
nouissima
&
nequissima
,
The
last
and
worst
creature
of
the
Popes
making

In
rouling
vp
the
stone
he
takes
great
paine
:
But
all
for
naught
,
it
tumbles
downe
againe
.
Your
tedious
and
irkesome
prolixitie
,
I
will
recompence
with
all
conuenient
breuitie
.
You
run
a
long
course
about
the
contradictors
of
the
Iesuites
,
which
you
acknowledge
to
be
not
onely
those
whom
you
account
heretikes
,
but
sundrie
Pope-Catholikes
,
and
to
them
you
applie
the
saying
of
the
Iewes
against
the
Christians
:
That
the
sect
of
the
Christians
was
euery
where
spoken
against
,
with
a
long
idle
discourse
to
the
same
purpose
.
But
(
Sir
)
all
this
is
besides
the
purpose
,
and
it
is
apparant
that
all
this
while
you
doe
extra
chorum
saltare
.
If
you
had
first
by
Scripture
proued
,
and
strengthned
the
originall
of
your
Iesuiticall
societie
together
with
their
doctrine
and
institute
of
life
;
these
places
might
haue
seemed
to
serue
some
turne
:
but
to
seeke
to
raise
vp
a
building
without
a
sure
and
sound
foundation
,
is
to
climbe
high
for
a
certaine
,
and
dangerous
downefall
.
Therefore
vnles
you
can
fetch
their
foundation
from
the
word
of
truth
,
these
places
of
Scripture
shall
neuer
be
proued
to
concerne
them
any
thing
at
all
.
A
worthie
sect
it
must
needes
be
that
was
so
lately
sounded
by
Ignatius
Loiola
,
a
lame
Souldiour
,
who
when
hee
would
tricke
vp
these
Nouices
(
as
the
Beare
licketh
her
deformed
whelpes
)
and
send
them
abroade
into
the
world
,
offered
by
himselfe
and
his
friends
3000.
hoastes
or
propitiatorie
sacrifices
to
God
(
so
many
horrible
blasphemies
against
that
alone
true
propitiatorie
sacrifice
of
Christ
Iesus
,
which
was
offered
once
,
and
onely
once
for
our
sinnes
)
thereby
to
obtaine
grace
and
fauour
to
his
new
erected
societie
.
Concerning
the
profession
of
these
Iesuites
,
their
doctrine
,
their
life
,
name
,
and
conuersation
,
what
is
to
be
obiected
against
them
,
whether
they
be
seditious
troublers
of
Common-wealths
,
and
seekers
of
Princes
deaths
,
I
neede
not
say
any
thing
,
since
they
are
by
so
many
,
so
plainelie
handled
,
and
laide
open
,
and
almost
all
the
Christian
world
seeth
,
and
abhorreth
their
treacheries
.
The
Sorbonists
of
Paris
will
tell
you
,
Iulio
Palmio
a
Iesuite
,
to
put
in
execution
his
intended
treason
against
her
Maiestie
.
And
besides
this
,
Edmund
Yorke
,
and
Richard
Williams
(
who
being
apprehended
confessed
the
same
)
were
by
Iberra
the
King
of
Spaines
Secretarie
,
hired
to
murther
the
Queene
,
the
assignation
for
the
payment
of
40000.
Crownes
for
the
performance
of
this
notable
exploite
,
was
deliuered
(
as
in
deposito
)
to
one
Holte
a
Iesuite
an
olde
English
Rebell
:
Patricke
Cullin
an
Irishman
,
And
to
leaue
forraine
matters
,
and
to
ende
with
our
owne
(
because
to
prosecute
all
particulars
in
this
kinde
were
infinite
)
Wal-poole
a
Iesuite
did
by
oath
latelie
binde
Squyre
,
Stanley
,
Humfreyes
Iesuitismus
,
to
Kemnicius
,
&c.
The
profession
,
practise
,
and
vertues
of
this
sect
was
so
fully
sifted
,
and
tried
by
the
Catholikes
of
France
(
that
it
may
not
be
thought
to
be
done
by
enemies
)
that
the
vniuersity
of
Paris
wholy
opposed
it selfe
against
them
,
and
by
the
mouth
of
their
aduocate
,
pronounced
them
worthy
of
Banishment
;
and
after
that
,
vpon
farther
search
into
them
,
the
Parliament
of
Paris
by
a
publike
decree
condemned
them
and
cast
them
out
of
the
whole
Kingdome
of
France
into
perpetuall
Banishment
.
A
worthy
example
of
the
wise
and
politike
Kingdome
of
France
,
to
try
out
their
treacheries
,
which
I
wish
all
Christian
Kingdomes
would
follow
,
that
so
all
Iesuites
might
be
perpetually
banished
,
into
Terra
Virginea
,
or
Terra
Florida
(
with
which
this
fellow
in
the
entrie
of
his
libell
disporteth
himselfe
)
from
whence
no
daunger
of
them
might
redound
to
any
Christian
Monarch
.
That
in
him
they
must
acknowledge
Christ
to
be
present
(
as
it
were
,
)
and
if
Iesus
Christ
should
commaund
to
goe
kill
,
they
must
doe
so
.
In
which
vow
to
omit
the
intollerable
blasphemie
,
that
they
make
a
sinfull
man
equall
with
God
:
for
Gods
will
is
the
Rule
of
Iustice
,
and
God
doth
not
commaund
things
,
because
in
themselues
they
are
good
;
but
they
are
therefore
good
and
lawfull
,
because
he
commaundeth
them
;
so
that
if
God
commaund
Abraham
to
kill
his
owne
sonne
,
he
must
yeeld
simplie
obedience
,
and
be
content
to
doe
so
:
Resistance
to
the
sixt
Encounter
about
Recusants
.
TRue
is
the
saying
of
Tully
,
Qui
semel
modestiae
limites
transilijt
,
&c.
He
that
hath
once
broken
the
bounds
of
modestie
,
must
be
lustily
and
outragiously
impudent
:
so
fareth
it
with
this
masked
and
disguised
companion
(
who
being
vizoured
cannot
blush
)
he
hath
runne
a
strange
veine
of
immodest
and
impudent
rayling
in
the
whole
course
of
his
processe
,
Herodian
,
without
conscience
,
and
readie
to
pawne
my
soule
for
pleasing
the
Prince
and
State
.
He
chargeth
me
with
a
diuellish
and
detestable
disposition
against
Catholikes
,
that
either
I
haue
plaied
the
part
of
Iudas
to
betray
and
take
them
,
or
of
Caiphas
to
condemne
and
afflict
them
.
And
not
content
herewith
(
because
happely
he
knoweth
no
step
of
anie
bloudy
action
can
be
shewed
in
me
,
that
I
euer
whipped
,
stocked
,
fettered
,
or
sought
to
bring
any
to
death
,
yea
when
one
Hanse
a
Priest
was
by
authoritie
committed
to
me
,
it
is
well
knowne
,
I
vsed
him
withall
humanitie
,
and
courtesie
,
letting
him
fare
no
worse
then
my selfe
,
and
lodge
as
might
haue
seemed
a
better
man
then
himselfe
)
he
chargeth
not
onely
my selfe
,
but
also
my
honourable
brother
that
dead
is
,
with
a
supposall
of
wishes
against
her
Maiesties
safetie
,
hauing
perfectlie
learned
the
olde
lesson
of
the
schoolemaster
of
rayling
,
Calumniare
audacter
,
&c.
Rayle
and
slaunder
boldlie
;
for
though
the
wound
may
be
cured
,
yet
a
blemish
or
scarre
will
remain
.
But
it
is
well
written
of
Plinie
,
that
the
nature
of
the
Loadstone
is
to
draw
Iron
to
it
,
but
an
Adamant
set
against
it
doth
withstand
it
that
it
cannot
draw
:
so
though
this
intemperate
&
vnbridled
tongue
,
would
draw
vpon
me
ignominie
,
reproach
,
and
hatred
;
yet
against
all
his
calumniations
I
will
oppose
the
cleerenes
and
freedome
of
a
good
conscience
,
and
that
shal
be
as
a
fenced
Tower
and
wall
of
Brasse
,
to
breake
and
blunt
the
forces
of
all
the
sharpe
arrowes
,
that
this
vnrulie
tongue
hath
or
shall
shoote
against
me
.
And
so
bequeathing
all
his
rayling
in
his
whole
libell
to
the
diuell
from
whence
it
proceeded
,
(
as
Saint
Iames
teacheth
vs
,
speaking
of
such
a
tongue
as
his
,
that
it
setteth
on
fire
the
whole
course
of
nature
,
and
is
set
on
fire
of
hell
)
and
commending
his
person
to
the
Lords
mercie
,
if
it
may
please
him
at
anie
time
to
indue
him
with
a
better
spirit
:
to
the
substance
and
matter
of
his
exceptions
against
mee
,
I
will
shape
a
short
,
yet
(
I
hope
)
a
sufficient
answere
.
The
first
exception
or
rather
meere
cauill
is
against
these
my
words
that
I
direct
to
the
common
sort
.
That
though
some
Papistes
doe
shew
a
good
outward
ciuill
carriage
in
ciuill
matters
;
yet
let
not
that
possesse
you
with
too
great
a
regard
of
them
,
tearming
it
afterward
a
deceitfull
bayte
.
Whence
you
gather
,
or
rather
wring
out
two
things
,
first
that
I
make
little
account
of
good
life
in
Catholikes
:
secondly
,
that
I
leaue
good-workes
to
Catholikes
,
and
reserue
onely
threed-bare
faith
to
our selues
.
But
(
good
Sir
)
there
is
no
such
matter
,
you
misse
your
ayme
verie
much
:
as
I
know
&
grant
that
not
the
hearers
of
the
law
but
the
doers
shal
be
iustified
,
and
that
if
we
be
not
doers
of
the
word
,
but
hearers
onely
,
we
deceiue
our
owne
selues
,
hauing
no
interest
in
those
three
benefits
specified
in
our
Creed
by
Christ
purchased
to
the
faithfull
,
Forgiuenes
of
sinnes
,
Glorious
resurrection
of
our
bodies
,
Eternall
life
:
so
I
did
neuer
so
much
as
by
dreame
imagine
any
the
least
forwardnes
to
good
workes
in
Papistes
aboue
vs
,
to
whom
(
God
forbid
)
that
herein
we
should
be
inferiour
.
It
seemeth
you
are
possessed
with
Narcissus
folly
,
to
fall
in
loue
with
your
owne
shadowe
,
take
heede
of
his
end
.
But
I
pray
you
are
not
the
vulgar
and
common
sort
easilie
deceiued
by
and
outward
ciuill
carriage
of
men
?
Who
when
they
see
a
man
keepe
good
hospitalitie
,
giue
almes
to
the
poore
,
performe
his
word
,
and
such
like
;
(
which
are
all
commendable
vertues
)
they
pronounce
such
a
man
,
without
further
enquirie
to
be
a
good
Christian
,
and
a
religious
man
:
whereas
many
times
they
that
doe
such
things
,
not
onelie
are
not
true
Christians
,
Beware
of
false
Prophets
,
by
their
fruites
ye
shall
know
them
,
&c.
I
gladly
agree
and
subscribe
to
them
,
as
also
to
the
testimony
of
Saint
Iames
:
Thou
hast
faith
,
and
I
haue
workes
,
shew
me
thy
faith
without
workes
,
and
I
will
shew
thee
my
faith
by
my
workes
.
For
as
wee
see
not
the
soule
of
man
(
it
being
a
spirituall
substance
)
yet
whom
we
see
to
walk
,
to
speake
,
to
haue
sense
and
feeling
,
wee
know
the
soule
to
be
in
that
man
:
so
faith
being
an
inward
qualitie
of
the
soule
,
cannot
be
seene
of
anie
but
by
effectes
,
namely
good
workes
.
And
as
a
painted
fire
is
no
fire
,
because
it
wanteth
heate
,
and
an
Image
is
not
a
man
,
because
it
wanteth
sense
:
so
no
more
is
that
faith
indeed
(
but
onely
in
name
)
which
doth
not
fructifie
by
good
workes
;
as
the
Church
of
Sardi
had
a
name
that
it
liued
,
but
indeed
it
was
dead
,
it
was
called
spirituall
,
but
was
carnall
.
The
true
iustifying
faith
must
be
accompanied
with
an
holy
conuersation
:
Iustification
,
and
sanctification
cannot
be
seuered
.
But
being
my selfe
in
the
ranke
of
learners
,
I
confesse
it
becommeth
me
to
referre
you
,
for
a
full
answere
to
your
blasphemy
against
our
true
doctrine
of
iustifycation
to
those
that
haue
both
learnedlie
and
diuinelie
handled
it
,
to
the
true
comfort
of
all
Gods
children
.
Now
to
bring
you
out
of
your
wonder
,
for
my
speaking
so
much
of
deceipt
and
dissimulation
in
your
Catholikes
,

The
hurt
Recusants
do
.
for
the
first
,
I
onely
insist
in
this
one
hurt
,
that
when
the
Gentleman
recuseth
,
and
is
borne
withall
,
the
meaner
sort
receiue
infection
and
draw
backe
also
:
Likewise
though
the
husband
come
to
the
Church
,
if
the
wife
refufe
,
the
danger
redoundeth
to
the
whole
household
,
and
wiues
of
the
meaner
sort
are
by
them
likewise
infected
.
Of
which
you
make
light
,
but
it
ought
to
be
of
more
moment
to
vs
;
and
therefore
more
heedfully
to
be
seene
vnto
,
then
you
desire
to
haue
it
.
For
how
shall
the
child
,
the
seruant
,
the
tenant
,
be
forward
to
know
the
truth
,
when
the
Parent
,
the
Master
,
the
Land-lord
refuse
knowledge
?
The
wifes
recusancie
was
not
so
common
,
till
men
infected
with
popery
were
perswaded
,
that
they
could
not
be
drawne
by
law
to
pay
the
penaltie
for
the
wiues
:
and
the
Popes
holines
had
a
dispensation
readie
for
the
husband
to
goe
to
Church
.
Now
that
the
meaner
and
poorer
sort
of
women
are
infected
by
these
of
the
wealthier
,
and
that
they
when
they
come
home
,
labour
also
to
peruert
their
husbndes
,
it
neither
need
seeme
strange
to
you
,
and
we
that
liue
to
serue
in
the
countrie
,
finde
too
lamentable
experience
of
it
.
For
commonlie
and
for
the
most
part
,
men
proue
to
be
such
,
as
are
they
whose
companie
they
frequent
:
and
daily
experience
doth
teach
vs
the
tiuth
of
the
old
saying
:
Cum
boni
,
cum
malis
conuer
santur
,
&c.
When
the
good
conuerse
and
keepe
companie
with
the
euill
,
sooner
are
the
good
by
the

then

Heresie
is
by
sundrie
writers
compared
to
the
plague
,
as
for
sundry
other
respectes
;
so
for
this
,
that
as
the
plague
doth
spread
it
infection
to
manie
,
oftentimes
infecting
the
whole
house
,
and
reaching
the
venome
thereof
to
neighbour-houses
,
so
that
it
sometimes
filleth
the
whole
Towne
or
Citie
with
dead
corpses
:
so
heresie
seeketh
to
infect
manie
,
and
to
spread
the
poyson
of
it
from
one
to
another
.
Now
those
that
are
sicke
of
the
plague
,
by
a
laudable
policie
,
we
seclude
from
companie
,
that
so
they
may
not
infect
others
:
greater
care
ought
(
in
my
opinion
)
to
be
taken
of
heretikes
,
that
they
may
not
raunge
whither
they
wil
,
and
keepe
companie
with
whom
they
please
,
for
that
the
danger
is
greater
of
heresie
,
then
of
the
plague
:
for
the
plague
killeth
but
the
bodie
,
heresie
killeth
the
soule
;
the
plague
threatneth
temporall
death
,
heresie
eternall
.
But
you
aske
from
what
these
wiues
,
children
,
seruants
,
tenants
,
and
husbands
doe
fall
?
and
I
answere
,
as
manie
of
them
as
become
Papists
,
fall
from
true
Religion
,
and
manie
of
them
also
from
loyaltie
and
sound
loue
to
their
countrie
.
But
you
say
conscience
is
cause
of
this
fall
,
and
not
euill
will
or
rebellion
?
and
I
answere
,
it
is
fancie
that
leadeth
them
rather
then
conscience
;
for
conscientia
must
be
cum
scientia
,
conscience
must
be
grounded
vpon
knowledge
,
and
knowledge
is
to
be
fetched
not
from
your
traditionall
doctrine
of
Rome
,
and
vnwritten
verities
,
but
from
the
written
word
of
God
,
which
is
able
to
make
a
man
wise
to
saluation
,
through
faith
which
is
in
Iesus
Christ
.
They
will
not
conferre
with
anie
,
they
are
setled
:
)
then
moderate
punishment
we
hold
fit
to
be
inflicted
,
by
the
Christian
Magistrate
,
thereby
to
reclaime
them
from
their
Idolatrie
,
by
which
God
is
dishonoured
,
and
to
bring
them
to
the
true
honour
and
worship
of
God
.
Moderate
correction
of
heretikes
,
accompanied
with
due
instruction
,
was
neuer
accounted
consciencelesse
,
and
vnmercifull
dealing
,
but
alwaies
practised
in
the
Church
.
Augustine
commendeth
it
by
experience
,
Cùm
doctrinae
vtili
,
disciplina
salutaris
adiungitur
,
&c.
When
wholesome
discipline
,
is
ioyned
to
godlie
doctrine
,
that
not
onely
the
light
of
truth
,
may
expell
the
darkenes
of
errour
,
but
the
force
of
feare
may
breake
the
bands
of
euill
custome
,
we
reioyce
at
the
conuersion
of
manie
.
This
point
the
same
father
in
sundrie
places
teacheth
.
But
what
punishment
is
laid
vpon
Recusants
,
by
the
rare
clemencie
of
her
Maiestie
,
any
way
comparable
to
those
that
Christian
Emperours
haue
made
against
Recusants
,
or
such
as
refused
to
communicate
with
the
Church
of
Christ
?
They
were
discommoned
from
buying
and
selling
,
from
bequeathing
their
goods
or
lands
to
others
,
or
receiuing
anie
Legacies
from
others
,
yea
they
might
not
inioy
their
fathers
inheritaunce
,
&c.
What
like
thing
is
done
to
English
Recusants
?
Albigenses
,
Calabrians
,
Merindolians
,
&c.
May
your
Prelates
whip
and
scourge
those
that
refuse
to
come
to
your
Idolatrie
,
as
Boner
did
diuers
with
his
owne
hand
?
May
you
torture
,
and
torment
men
,
because
they
will
not
beleeue
your
vnwritten
verities
,
as
Boner
burnt
Tomkins
hand
,
and
Tirrell
a
Iustice
of
peace
did
Rose
Allens
hand
?
May
you
put
men
to
death
for
refusing
to
acknowledg
a
peece
of
bread
to
be
their
maker
?
contrarie
to
the
iudgement
of
the
ancient
fathers
,
as
Augustine
testifieth
:
It
neuer
pleased
anie
good
man
in
the
Catholike
Church
,
that
heretikes
should
be
put
to
death
:
nay
may
you
kill
both
young
and
olde
without
difference
,
(
as
in
the
former
Massacres
)
without
euer
perswading
them
,
or
giuing
them
respite
to
aduise
vpon
your
doctrine
?
and
may
not
your selues
be
punished
?
may
not
moderate
corrections
be
inflicted
vpon
you
?
shall
it
be
sacriledge
to
touch
the
hemme
of
your
garments
?
but
God
giue
you
grace
to
repent
your
owne
bloudie
murthers
,
and
to
take
benefit
by
her
Maiesties
gentle
correction
,
who
sucketh
not
your
bloud
,
but
seeketh
your
benefite
and
endlesse
saluation
.
Touching
the
hurt
Recusants
would
do
,
[

](A02797-e17610-b)

The
hurt
Recusants
would
doe
.
I
say
,
who
doubteth
but
they
would
haue
vp
their
Masse
againe
&c.
And
here
he
fareth
like
a
mad
man
,
saying
:
That
the
Turke
,
nor
any
Prince
in
the
world
,
vrgeth
men
vpon
vaine
points
of
inward
wishes
,
&
secret
cogitations
,
&
that
I
,
contrary
to
al
reason
&
humanity
,
would
haue
it
vrged
vpon
Catholikes
in
England
;
what
they
wish
,
&
what
they
desire
.
But
I
pray
you
of
what
secret
wishes
speake
I
?
Do
I
presume
to
sit
in
the
consistory
of
mens
harts
,
&
to
iudge
their
inward
thoughts
?
or
rather
folowing
the
rule
of
our
sauiour
,
by
their
fruits
shal
ye
know
them
,
do
I
only
speak
of
such
as
are
by
outward
actions
openly
discouered
?
or
what
vrging
would
I
haue
of
these
wishes
?
of
punishment
for
their
smart
?
or
of
prouidence
for
our
own
safetie
?
when
he
hath
answered
me
this
,
then
let
him
tell
me
,
whether
not
only
Turkes
,
but
all
christian
Princes
in
the
world
,
wil
haue
an
eie
to
such
subiects
,
as
are
by
their
masters
abroad
,
&
by
new
Inmates
&
intruding
Iesuits
at
home
,
taught
that
it
is
not
only
lawful
,
but
honorable
to
rebel
against
the
prince
,
vpon
the
Popes
command
;
and
from
whom
the
forraine
enemy
&
inuador
,
doth
openly
professe
that
he
expecteth
aide
.
This
needeth
no
further
answer
because
he
hath
no
further
mattter
to
build
his
calumnious
inuectiue
vpon
.
This
is
a
point
of
rare
&
most
insolent
barbarity
,
that
condemning
my
few
words
of
the
hurt
Recusants
would
doe
(
though
by
open
effectes
bewraied
)
as
more
then
Turkish
,
he
doth
himselfe
(
and
I
am
perswaded
contrary
to
his
own
conscience
,
onely
vpon
an
innate
and
naturall
engrafted
inclination
he
hath
to
be
mouthed
like
the
diuell
)
burst
forth
into
such
a
malignant
presumption
of
inward
thoughts
,
against
my
honourable
dead
brother
and
my selfe
,
as
no
barbarous
Scythian
would
euer
offer
the
like
.
We
will
examine
it
in
a
word
.
He
is
not
onely
contented
to
hold
on
his
rayling
fit
at
me
,
I
like
better
the
honest
wisedome
of
those
that
studie
how
the
Queene
may
stand
and
not
fall
,
then
the
reaching
pollicie
of
those
,
that
deuise
how
themselues
may
stand
,
when
the
Queene
is
fallen
:
And
from
such
reaching
Polititians
,
God
deliuer
and
disburthen
her
Maiesty
,
and
her
kingdome
,
and
increase
the
number
of
such
religious
honest
hearts
to
her
,
as
will
pray
daily
to
God
for
the
prolonging
of
her
daies
,
employ
their
wits
wholy
to
preserue
her
person
,
and
put
backe
all
perils
that
may
come
towards
her
,
and
will
not
thinke
their
liues
too
deere
to
stand
in
the
gappe
to
withholde
daunger
from
her
.
The
third
imputation
against
the
Papistes
is
their
dissimulation
,
[

Dissimulation
in
sundrie
Papists
.
of
which
somewhat
hath
been
alreadie
shewed
:
but
here
you
proceed
againe
to
raile
,
cauill
,
and
misconstrue
my
words
:
your
railing
I
still
passe
ouer
,
in
which
kind
I
list
not
to
contend
with
you
:
your
cauilling
and
misconstruing
shall
briefely
be
laid
open
.
My
words
you
set
downe
;
These
ciuill
honest
men
that
vnder
pretence
of
Conscience
rebell
against
God
in
religion
,
and
refuse
to
yeeld
a
loyall
obedience
to
their
Liege-Ladie
,
seeme
to
carrie
a
most
lamentable
resolution
lurking
in
their
bosomes
against
Queene
,
Countrie
,
and
vs
all
,
&c.
And
if
this
be
conscience
,
I
know
not
what
conscience
meaneth
,
and
yet
this
conscience
they
fetch
from
Rome
,
&c.
You
beginne
with
the
last
wordes
,
from
which
you
pike
out
this
conclusion
against
me
,
that
I
know
not
what
conscience
meaneth
,
either
in
nature
and
definition
,
or
in
practise
and
feeling
;
the
first
you
say
is
past
my
vnderstanding
,
by
reason
my
bringing
vp
hath
hnot
been
in
schooles
;
the
other
you
take
vpon
you
to
make
plaine
I
am
voide
of
,
by
my
manner
of
writing
against
Catholikes
,
&c.
Surely
I
willingly
confesse
my
wants
in
learning
to
be
verie
great
,
and
doe
bewaile
my
losse
of
time
in
that
behalfe
,
yet
this
I
hope
I
may
say
without
suspition
of
vanitie
or
ostentation
,
that
I
laid
the
grounds
of
learning
in
one
of
the
best
schooles
in
this
land
,
namely
Winchester
,
and
added
some
further
building
in
one
of
the
best
Vniuersities
in
Christendome
,
namelie
Oxford
,
studying
there
in
Magdaleine
Colledge
vnder
that
worthy
Doctor
Humfrey
,
where
besides
my
priuate
study
,
I
wanted
not
such
furtherance
,
as
the
conference
with
sundrie
of
the
best
learned
in
the
Vniuersitie
could
afford
me
;
and
since
I
left
the
Vniuersitie
,
I
haue
not
spent
so
much
time
in
hunting
&
hawking
,
as
you
presume
,
although
I
hold
them
for
lawfull
recreations
moderatelie
vsed
in
the
feare
of
God
.
And
therefore
I
did
long
since
know
(
I
praise
God
)
that
Conscience
is
a
part
of
our
vnderstanding
,
determining
of
our
particular
actions
,
either
with
them
or
against
them
:
I
knowe
also
that
of
this
Conscience
God
onelie
is
Lorde
,
and
his
words
and
lawes
,
doe
onely
binde
the
same
properlie
;
and
from
hence
must
we
fetch
the
direction
and
warrant
of
our
practise
of
Conscience
which
will
not
admit
vs
to
depose
,
and
set
vp
,
and
to
obey
&
disobey
Soueraignes
at
our
pleasures
,
yea
and
to
kill
Princes
(
as
your
Pope
giueth
warrant
to
doe
)
and
then
to
say
we
doe
it
of
Conscience
,
but
will
giue
me
a
sufficient
warrantise
,
to
condemne
all
such
Schoolemasters
and
Schollers
;
and
so
Sir
(
not
as
a
teacher
in
our
Israel
,
but
as
a
Scholler
)
I
haue
tolde
you
what
Conscience
is
,
and
by
that
touch
I
haue
giuen
of
the
practise
and
feeling
of
Conscience
(
which
must
bee
warranted
by
the
word
of
God
,
and
not
by
mens
dreames
,
and
traditions
)
I
haue
cancelled
the
warrant
you
would
take
to
your selues
,
to
disobey
and
resist
the
authoritie
,
giuen
to
her
Maiestie
from
God
.
The
rest
that
you
snarle
at
in
these
words
,
or
in
those
that
follow
,
concerning
my
speeches
against
Recusants
,
or
any
thing
materiall
thereto
belonging
,
I
will
briefelie
answere
:
First
my
tearmes
of
falsehoode
;
disloyaltie
,
wicked
treasons
,
and
lurking
resolutions
against
Queene
and
Countrie
,
calling
them
the
Catilines
of
our
time
,
&c.
This
doth
moue
your
patience
much
,
and
for
this
I
must
vndergoe
the
bitter
biting
of
your
venemous
and
slaunderous
tongue
,
and
bee
called
a
monstrous
lyer
,
and
calumniatour
,
which
by
a
bricke
wall
will
hazard
to
light
vpon
your selfe
.
For
why
should
I
be
blamed
to
charge
them
with
falsehoode
,
disloyaltie
,
treason
,
and
lurking
resolutions
against
Queene
and
Countrie
,
and
to
bee
the
very
Catilines
of
our
age
,
when
your
Popes
doctrine
teacheth
nothing
else
,
and
they
frame
themselues
in
all
things
to
obey
him
?
When
Rebellions
haue
been
raised
within
our
owne
bowels
?
When
her
Maiesties
life
hath
so
many
times
been
shot
at
,
and
her
Kingdome
attempted
to
be
inuaded
?
And
in
the
first
two
,
sundrie
of
your
Recusants
false
fingers
haue
been
set
on
worke
,
and
in
the
third
the
Inuaders
haue
promised
to
themselues
(
and
so
published
)
great
assistance
from
them
,
and
both
for
Inuasion
,
Rebellion
,
and
taking
away
of
her
Highnes
life
;
who
haue
been
the
very
Catilines
of
our
Countrie
,
but
they
?
Doth
not
your
Captaine
and
Cardinall
Allen
,
Iohn
Bishop
a
Recusant
Papist
,
prouing
that
the
Pope
cannot
depose
her
Maiestie
,
or
release
her
subiectes
of
their
alleageance
to
her
:
In
which
After
this
iangling
railer
hath
vngorged
his
malicious
stomacke
against
me
,
That
euerie
Christian
man
ought
to
striue
to
keepe
these
three
things
sound
within
his
breast
,
his
conscience
before
God
,
his
loyaltie
to
his
Prince
,
and
his
loue
to
his
countrie
:
Which
after
he
hath
frowardly
and
peruersely
wrested
to
his
owne
fantasticall
sense
,
he
breaketh
forth
into
this
exclamation
,
what
Atheist
would
euer
say
so
?
and
I
say
,
who
but
a
wretched
wrangler
would
euer
cauill
so
?
for
may
not
men
be
loyall
to
their
Princes
,
except
they
obey
all
their
commaundements
?
Or
can
they
not
be
louing
to
their
countrie
,
except
they
obey
all
the
lawes
therof
?
Inward
loyaltie
differeth
from
outward
obedience
,
the
first
we
owe
alwaies
,
the
second
in
all
things
we
may
not
yeeld
.
I
hope
(
Sir
)
you
will
not
accuse
the
Apostles
of
disloyaltie
,
who
yet
obeied
not
all
the
commaundements
of
their
Princes
?
nor
of
want
of
loue
to
their
countrie
,
though
they
yeelded
not
to
all
the
lawes
thereof
?
Oh
that
my
head
were
full
of
water
,
and
mine
eies
a
fountaine
of
teares
,
that
I
might
weepe
daie
and
night
for
the
slain
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
!
For
who●e
deliuerance
he
so
often
&
so
heartily
praied
,
and
was
forbidden
by
the
Lord
to
praie
any
more
for
them
:
whose
destruction
,
after
it
happened
,
he
bitterlie
bewailed
in
his
mournful
lamentations
?
do
these
things
proue
he
loued
not
his
country
?
Or
because
the
Lord
himselfe
did
rent
the
kingdome
out
of
the
hands
of
Salomon
,
&
gaue
ten
Tribes
to
Ieroboam
from
Rheboam
Salomons
sonne
?
I
neuer
resisted
the
commaundements
of
your
highnesse
(
saith
he
)
no
,
no
,
God
forbid
I
should
.
That
we
must
subiect
our selues
to
all
manner
ordinance
of
man
for
the
Lords
sake
,
whether
it
be
vnto
the
King
,
as
to
the
superiour
,
&c.
And
first
he
exclaimeth
,
all
obedience
is
due
to
Princes
,
yea
all
obedience
,
&c.
crying
out
of
the
conscience
of
an
Atheist
,
or
of
a
seruile
minde
,
&c.
If
I
had
said
we
must
obey
our
Princes
in
all
things
,
I
had
vsed
the
Apostles
phrase
,
concerning
the
obedience
of
children
towardes
their
parents
,
Children
obey
your
parentes
in
all
things
:
shall
anie
Atheist
then
crie
out
against
the
Apostle
;
Children
must
obey
their
parentes
in
all
things
,
yea
in
all
things
;
a
conscience
of
an
Atheist
,
a
seruile
mind
?
&c.
But
as
the
Apostle
by
all
things
,
meaneth
all
such
things
as
are
not
contrarie
to
Gods
commaundement
,
as
he
elsewhere
expoundeth
himselfe
:
Children
obey
your
parents
in
the
Lord
:
so
is
my
meaning
as
cleare
as
the
light
,
that
we
must
obey
Princes
in
all
things
,
that
imply
not
disobedience
to
God
:
generall
and
vnlimited
obedience
,
we
teach
not
to
vow
and
performe
to
anie
man
,
it
being
due
onely
to
God
,
who
cannot
erre
in
the
things
he
commaundeth
.
Wee
neuer
held
our selues
in
that
sort
bound
to
any
King
or
Emperour
,
though
your
Iesuites
vow
such
obedience
to
their
Superiours
.
The
very
Poet
may
teach
,
that
Omne
sub
Regno
grauiore
Regnum
est
,
Each
kingdome
here
,
a
greater
hath
aboue
.
Therefore
sith
earthlie
King
,
are
vnder
the
King
of
Kings
,
wee
must
so
obey
the
inferiour
,
as
wee
disobey
not
the
Superiour
.
The
highest
King
hath
set
downe
his
law
to
earthlie
Kings
,
as
well
as
others
,
in
the
two
tables
:
if
they
presume
to
make
a
law
,
contrarie
to
this
lawe
,
therein
we
are
not
to
obey
.
It
was
not
disloyaltie
in
the
AEgyptian
Midwiues
,
in
forbearing
to
murther
the
male-children
of
the
Israelites
at
Pharaohs
commaundement
;
nor
in
Obadiah
in
hiding
the
Lordes
Prophets
,
contrarie
to
Achabs
will
;
neither
in
the
Apostles
in
not
forbearing
to
preach
in
the
name
of
Iesus
,
at
the
Rulers
commaundement
;
they
did
(
as
they
ought
)
preferre
obedience
to
God
,
before
obedience
to
man
,
when
they
cannot
both
stand
together
.
By
all
obedience
then
,
it
is
plaine
that
I
meant
,
true
and
sincere
obedience
from
the
heart
,
not
dissembling
obedience
onlie
for
feare
;
as
the
Apostle
when
he
perswadeth
the
Philippians
to
walke
worthie
of
the
vocation
whereunto
they
are
called
,
with
all
humblenes
of
minde
,
meaneth
by
all
humblenes
,
true
,
sincere
,
inward
humilitie
,
not
counterfeite
,
and
hypocriticall
.
And
if
mallice
had
not
here
lost
both
her
eyes
,
and
her
wits
,
this
scoulding
cauiller
might
haue
seene
that
in
the
very
entrie
to
this
point
of
obedience
,
I
doe
manifestlie
affirme
it
;
for
I
say
these
three
things
euery
man
ought
to
keepe
sound
within
his
breast
,
first
,
his
Conscience
before
God
;
secondly
,
his
Loyaltie
to
his
Prince
;
thirdly
,
his
Loue
to
his
Countrie
:
Now
how
is
it
possible
a
man
should
keepe
sound
his
Conscience
before
God
,
which
I
set
in
the
first
place
,
if
hee
obey
his
Prince
in
things
against
God
?
nay
,
that
I
place
first
,
because
it
must
be
the
director
of
vs
in
our
Loue
and
Loyaltie
both
to
Prince
and
Countrie
.
If
the
Lawes
of
the
Prince
or
Countrie
commaunde
any
thing
contrarie
to
it
,
wee
ought
in
such
things
not
to
obey
our
Prince
,
and
for
such
things
we
may
flie
our
Countrie
;
but
yet
not
rebell
or
fight
against
them
,
as
you
seeke
to
perswade
,
saying
that
Christ
alloweth
greatlie
of
them
that
despise
Father
,
Mother
,
Countrie
and
Kinred
,
yea
they
are
willed
to
hate
them
and
make
warre
against
them
,
for
his
sake
;
and
consequentlie
also
the
like
is
willed
against
Princes
in
the
same
cause
,
That
all
obedience
is
due
to
Ciuill
Magistrates
for
the
Lords
sake
,
is
not
worth
the
answering
:
he
cauilleth
first
because
I
translate
to
euerie
ordinance
of
man
,
where
hee
would
haue
it
,
to
euerie
humane
creature
,
which
I
thinke
would
affoorde
but
a
colde
sense
:
But
he
saith
I
translate
it
to
euery
ordinance
of
man
,
because
it
serued
more
to
my
purpose
:
what
purpose
?
forsooth
a
purpose
that
I
detest
more
then
himselfe
,
and
those
of
his
sect
,
that
we
should
obey
euerie
decree
of
man
.
Master
Beza
translateth
it
Ordinationi
,
that
is
,
ordinance
,
shewing
that
by
humane
ordinance
is
ment
that
forme
of
policie
and
gouernment
which
is
in
euerie
Common-wealth
:
and
that
this
policie
or
forme
of
a
Common-wealth
is
called
an
humane
ordinance
,
not
because
it
was
inuented
by
men
(
for
it
is
the
gift
of
God
)
but
because
it
is
proper
and
peculiar
vnto
men
,
to
liue
vnder
Magistrates
and
Lawes
.
The
next
exception
hath
lesse
colour
,
that
I
transtate
to
the
King
as
to
the
superiour
,
and
leaue
out
,
or
vnto
gouernours
,
as
vnto
them
that
are
sent
of
him
,
&c.
by
calling
the
King
the
Superiour
,
he
dreameth
that
I
meane
the
King
to
be
absolute
,
and
all
obedience
due
to
Superiours
,
which
I
haue
alreadie
answered
.
But
(
Sir
)
if
Saint
Peter
doe
adde
(
in
the
leauing
out
of
which
words
you
suppose
a
mysterie
)
or
vnto
Captaines
,
and
vnder
Magistrates
sent
from
him
(
as
you
translate
)
is
not
the
King
rightlie
termed
Superiour
,
in
regard
of
the
Inferiour
,
and
vnder
Magistrates
sent
by
him
?
I
suppose
that
Saint
Peter
doth
first
set
downe
a
generall
proposition
,
to
liue
obedientlie
to
that
pollicie
vnder
which
wee
are
,
whether
in
Monarchie
,
Aristocracy
,
&c.
and
then
commeth
to
the
speciall
forme
vnder
which
the
Iewes
did
then
liue
,
vnder
the
Romane
Emperours
,
and
their
deputies
.
Therefore
I
referre
to
the
indifferent
reader
to
iudge
either
of
the
falsehoode
and
treacherie
(
he
saith
)
I
haue
vsed
in
corrupting
and
translating
this
little
peece
of
Scripture
,
or
else
of
his
vntemperate
humour
of
rayling
and
cauilling
;
his
long
digression
about
Spirituall
Magistrates
,
and
formall
speeches
to
Catholike
Recusants
,
I
let
passe
.
But
if
you
please
to
resolue
all
Recusants
,
that
they
are
bound
in
conscience
to
yeelde
all
ciuill
obedience
to
her
Maiestie
as
to
their
lawfull
Soueraigne
,
though
the
Pope
send
forth
neuer
so
many
Buls
to
depose
her
;
you
shall
deserue
thankes
of
them
,
in
teaching
them
so
godlie
a
lesson
,
and
free
your selfe
from
no
small
suspition
giuen
,
that
you
are
of
a
flat
contrarie
minde
,
which
will
sticke

conscience
(
if
you
continue
that
mind
)
then
any
prophane
flatterie
(
wrongfullie
vrged
by
you
against
me
)
shall
euer
doe
to
mine
;
for
God
be
blessed

truth
of
his
Gospell
hath
taught
me
a
farre
better

Resistance

FRedericke
the
good
Duke
of
Saxonie
,
requested
earnestly
that
great
learned
Clarke
Erasmus
,
that
hee
would
plainelie
and
truelie
tell
him
what
he
thought
of
Luther
and
his
writings
;
to
whose
request
Erasmus
answering
,
and
that
sincerelie
,
and
with
great
iudgement
,
yet
began
his
answere
merilie
,
saying
,
that
in
Luther
were
two
great
faultes
,
the
one
that
he
spake
against
the
Monkes
fat
panches
;
the
other
,
that
he
presumed
to
touch
the
Popes
triple
Crown

Yet
all
this
winde
shaketh
no
corne

I
doubt
not

the
wise

discreete

will
follow
the
counsell

that

and
the
plaine

naked
narration
of
truth
,
to
the
Muses
:
which
bare
narration
I
will
in
verie
few
words
here
set
downe
,
and
oppose
it
against
all
his
Rhetoricall
amplifications

furious

:

The

After
that
Peter
had

Bishoplike
authoritie
gaue
the
definitiue
sentence
.
The
rest
of
the
Apostles
did
not
acknowledge
in
him
anie
such
preeminence
of
iurisdiction
,
they
shewed
themselues
to
haue
power
to
dispose
of
Peter
,
as
of
anie
other
,
for
the
good
of
the
Church
;
and
therefore
when
they
heard
that
Samaria
had
receiued
the
word
of
God
,
they
sent
vnto
them
Peter
and
Iohn
:
Yea
one
Apostle
Saint
Paule
,
publikelie
reproued
and
withstood
Peter
to
his
face
,
because
he
was
to
be
blamed
:
and
to
take
away
all
occasion
of
stumbling
from
those
that
doe
not
wilfully
blinde
their
eyes
,
the
same
Apostle
without
tainte
of
pride
,
saith
of
himselfe
,
that
he
was
nothing
inferiour

If
then
neither

nor
the

would
tell

suruey

the
Popes
in
his
time
that
they
were
called
Fathers
in
name
,
but
in
deede
were
murtherers
,
that
the
Pope
maketh
warre
vpon
people
that
liued
in
peace
,
and
soweth
discord
amongst
Christian
Princes
.
Iulius
the
second
plaied
the
gallant
warriour
in
his
owne
person
,
and
casting
aside
Peters
keyes
,
did
betake
himselfe
to
Paules
sworde
.
Sundrie
Popes
haue
sent
their
Cardinals
to
be
generall
of
their
Armies
,
and
to
shed
Christian
bloud
:
Pope
Adrian
set
Pipine
and
Charles
Kings
of
France
against
them
of
Lombardie
:
Boniface
setteth
the
King
of
England
against
the
French
King
,
and
another
time
they
haue
set
the
French
against
the
English
.
The
examples
of
this
bloudie
humour
in
sowing
dissention
betwixt
Kingdomes
are
so
many
,
that
the
Popes
owne
Secretarie
Platina
confesseth
,
Pontifices
Romanos
inimicitias
non
secus
ac
saeuissimos
Tirannos
exercuisse
.
i.
That
the
Popes
of
Rome
did
exercise
hostilitie
and
hatred
no
lesse
then
the
most
cruell
Tirants
?
What
should
I
speake
of
his
bloudie
trecheries
?
The
Emperour
Fredericke
being
in
warre
against
the
Turke
,
the
Pope
did
take
from
him
his
lands
in
Apulia
,
and
Lombardie
,
perswadeth
the
Turke
by
letters
not
to
yeelde
vp
the
holy
land
to
him
,
but
to
kill
him
,
gaue
a
pardon
to
whosoeuer
would
fight
against
him
.
The
Hospitalers
and
Templaries
by
letters
shewed
the
Turke
how
Fredericke
might
be
betrayed
;
which
treason
the
naturall
honest
Turke
detested
(
in
this
point
honester
then
the
Pope
)
sent
the
letters
to
the
Emperour
,
and
said
in
contempt
of
Christ
and
Religion
,
Eccefidelitas
Christianorum
.
i.
Beholde
the
fidelitie
of
Christians
.
Gregorie
the
seuenth
,
how
many
waies
sought
hee
to
destroy
Henrie
the
fourth
Emperour
,
and
namelie
once
when
the
Emperour
was
at
his
Prayers
at
Saint
Maries
Church
in
Rome
,
hee
appoynted
by
a
Nouice
hired
to
that
purpose
,
to
haue
the
Emperour
murthered
,
by
throwing
downe
a
great
stone
vpon
him
?
Henrie
the
sixt
Emperour
was
,
by
a
Frier
hyred
thereto
,
poysoned
in
the
Sacrament
;
how
barbarouslie
Stephanus
dealt
with
his
predecessor
Formosus
after
his
death
;
how
many
Popes
Gregorie
the
seuenth
poysoned
to
get
the
Popedome
;
how
Vrban
the
sixt
sowed
diuers
Cardinals
in
sackes
,
and
drowned
them
in
the
Sea
;
generallie
of
how
many
massacres
the
Popes
haue
been
authors
,
and
how
they
haue
reioyced
at
the
effussion
of
Christian
bloud
;
these
things
to
set
downe
,
were
either
to
write
Iliades
after
Homer
,
or
at
the
least
chiliades
after
Erasmus
.
In
a
word
,
Alexander
the
sixt
,
the
Papists
themselues
condemne
for
a
bloudie
monster
,
of
whome
after
his
death
these
verses
were
publikely
scattered
.
Mirum
cur
vomuit
nigrum
post
fata
cruorem
Borgia
?
quem
biberat
,
concoquere
haud
poterat
.
Borgia
dead
much
bloud
did
vomit
from
his
brest
,
What
maruaile
that
?
the
store
he
dranke
,
could
not
digest
.
But
these
happilie
were
the
faultes
of
olde
times
,
Sixtus
Quintus
then
Pope
,
in
that
fittest
opportunitie
of
time
did
Canonize
Didacus
a
Spaniard
,
and
placed
him
in
the
number
of
Saints
,
in
whose
merites
the
Spanish
King
did
so
greatlie
trust
.
And
that
no
propertie
of
a
bloudie
monster
might
bee
wanting
in
him
,
hee
suborned
Parrey
,
and
armed
him
with
full
remission
of
all
his
sinnes
,
besides
other
promises
,
murtherouslie
to
kill
her
Maiestie
and
to
shed
her
guiltles
bloud
.
If
these
euidences
cannot
make
this
popish
Sycophant
to
see
and
abhor
the
Popes
bloudie
humour
:
I
can
yeelde
no
other
reason
in
his
excuse
,
but
that
which
a
Poet
of
their
owne
setteth
downe
;
AEthiopes
vna
quoniam
nigredine
sordent
,
Ille
color
nulli
vitio
datur
,
omnibus
idem
Vultus
,
&
alterius
si
quis
reprehenderet
ora
,
Et
sua
damnaret
,
&c.
i.
Blacknes
for
that
it
dyes
each
AEthiops
face
,
Blacknes
with
them
,
is
held
for
no
disgrace
:
All
are
like
faced
,
who
so
doth
others
blame
,
His
proper
visage
he
perforce
must
shame
.
If
this
fellow
were
not
an
horseleach
,
that
is
,
bloudie
minded
himselfe
,
he
would
easilie
acknowledge
the
bloudie
humour
of
the
Pope
.
Whether
the
Pope
be
that
special
Antichrist
,
Rome
:
Guildas
testifieth
that
Britanie
receiued
the
Gospell
in
the
time
of
Tiberius
the
Emperour
,
and
that
Ioseph
of
Arimathia
was
sent
by
Philip
the
Apostle
from
France
hither
,
where
he
remained
till
his
death
.
And
Beda
(
our
countriman
likewise
)
doth
testifie
that
in
his
time
this
land
kept
Easter
after
the
manner
of
the
East
Church
:
by
which
may
be
gathered
:
that
the
first
preachers
came
hither
from
the
East
parts
of
the
world
,
and
not
from
Rome
:
more
proofes
might
be
set
downe
,
but
I
spare
Resistance
to
the
eight
Encounter
,
touching
the
Spanish
Nation
,
and
the
King
.
CHrist
Iesus
our
supreame
Soueraigne
and
Lord
,
that
hath
the
Key
of
Dauid
which
openeth
and
no
man
shutteth
,
shutteth
and
no
man
openeth
,
hath
made
the
Ward
of
his
truth
so
strong
,
as
neither
papisticall
nor
satanicall
force
can
preuaile
against
it
;
so
that
your
counterfaite
Ward
is
too
weake
to
keepe
in
safetie
,
and
strength
your
Romish
Babell
or
the
Bishops
thereof
,
being
not
onely
shaken
by
the
wisedome
of
our
watchman
,
who
keeping
our
Israel
,
doth
neither
slumber
nor
sleepe
,
but
beaten
downe
by
the
power
of
his
might
:
Therefore
you
vaunt
before
the
conquest
,
and
triumph
before
the
victorie
.
As
for
the
bickering
you
begin
now
about
your
Spanish
King
(
placed
as
your
second
great
Monarch
before
spoken
of
)
it
consisteth
rather
of
the
ordinary
blowes
of
your
biting
and
rayling
tongue
,
then
of
anie
sound
matter
of
defence
for
your
Kings
clearing
,
which
your
foule
mouthed
Rhetoricke
I
haue
spared
hitherto
to
encounter
,
and
so
will
I
still
,
carrying
the
same
mind
that
Cato
senior
did
,
who
being
abused
by
one
of
a
like
intemperate
spirit
with
slaunderous
and
reprochful
tearmes
,
made
this
answer
:
Impar
mihi
tecum
est
certandi
conditio
,
nam
vt
malè
audire
,
&
malè
dicere
tibi
facillimum
simul
&
promptissimum
est
;
sic
&
mihi
malè
dicere
&
insuaue
est
,
&
insuetum
:
i.
My
encountring
with
you
is
not
on
euen
ground
,
for
as
to
you
it
is
verie
facile
and
prompt
both
to
be
euill
spoken
of
,
and
to
speake
euill
:
so
to
me
to
speake
euill
,
is
both
vnpleasing
and
vnusuall
.
This
second
Monarch
of
yours
I
acknowledge
of
farre
more
regarde
in
his
place
then
your
former
without
comparison
,
Notwithstanding
this
iust
and
important
occasion
drew
mee
to
set
downe
that
short
admonition
or
cautele
of
the
Spaniards
nature
,
and
Spanish
Kings
intention
:
this
Encounterer
(
whom
all
men
may
see
to
carrie
a
Spanish
heart
in
an
English
bodie
)
not
onlie
seeketh
to
holde
the
Spaniards
credite
vpright
,
Non
semper
feriet
quodcunque
minabitur
arcus
.
The
marke
forsooth
whereat
your
ayming
is
,
You
hit
not
still
,
but
shoote
full
oft
and
misse
.
And
therefore
whereas
the
wiser
sort
of
our
nation
haue
learned
by
the
lawes
of
morall
ciuilitie
,
that
a
man
must
speake
moderatelie
of
his
enemie
(
a
lesson
which
Papists
haue
not
learned
,
no
though
it
be
their
naturall
Prince
whome
they
account
their
enemie
)
yet
he
that
speaketh
truly
,
speaketh
moderately
,
especially
where
the
enemies
carriage
is
so
immoderate
and
outragious
,
as
if
a
man
had
an
hundreth
tongues
,
hee
were
neuer
able
sufficiently
to
set
it
sorth
.
That
this
moderation
I
haue
kept
in
speaking
truly
that
I
haue
said
,
and
saying
farre
lesse
then
the
enemie
deserued
,
I
will
shew
with
all
conuenient
breuitie
:
first
in
the
Spanish
Nation
generally
;
then
particularly
in
the
Spanish
King
himselfe
.
It
needeth
not
to
be
so
strange
to
you
,
to
haue
your
Spanish
nation
noted
to
be
proude
,
France
,
Italie
,
Germanie
,
the
Low-Countries
,
Portugale
,
England
,
and
the
very
Indiaes
are
by
experience
witnes
;
and
of
this
many
proofes
might
be
yeelded
,
but
for
a
taste
(
so
as
it
may
not
offend
your
taste
)
take
these
fewe
.
Rowland
Yor●e
,
(
who
betrayed
the
Sconce
of
Zutphen
to
them
)
by
putting
him
besides
the
gouernment
of
Deuenter
,
doubting
what
might
ensue
thereof
,
by
reason
of
his
great
stomacke
,
they
found
the
meanes
at
a
dinner
to
requite
him
for
all
his
seruices
with
a
Spanish
figge
,
killed
his
Lieutenant
,
and
ransacked
all
that
they
had
:
when
the
poore
Souldiours
had
their
Captaine
and
Lieutenant
murdered
,
and
had
no
meanes
of
reliefe
,
they
made
an
humble
suite
to
Verdugo
and
humblie
besought
his
helpe
,
who
for
a
gentle
rewarde
charitablie
cashiered
them
all
,
not
giuing
them
one
peny
.
You
shal
also
reade
there
,
that
when
there
had
been
a
great
slaughter
of
the
English
at
Rosendale
without
pittie
,
or
mercie
(
which
was
more
then
enough
)
they
did
deale
most
barbarouslie
with
the
English
that
were
prisoners
to
the
Italians
and
Burgognians
,
who
being
led
quietly
by
those
that
had
taken
them
,
towards
their
quarter
,
the
Spaniardes
spying
them
cried
kill
,
kill
,
and
drawing
their
Rapiers
,
ranne
furiously
vpon
these
naked
poore
soules
,
and
killed
them
euerie
man
.
Further
it
is
worth
the
noting
that
which
is
written
of
the
west
Indian
people
(
though
not
without
remorse
,
and
griefe
)
who
by
the
fawning
and
flattering
of
the
Spaniard
were
drawne
to
accept
his
gouernment
,
and
for
a
time
(
the
poore
soules
)
did
honour
them
like
Gods
,
but
when
they
had
tasted
of
their
insolent
customes
,
humors
,
and
cruelties
,
they
did
so
deepely
and
despairefully
detest
them
,
as
men
might
see
the
poore
wretches
goe
by
companies
together
vp
to
the
rockes
,
and
throwe
themselues
downe
into
the
sea
.
Now
(
Sir
)
I
pray
you
tell
me
,
whether
this
will
not
satisfie
you
for
sufficient
instances
to
proue
your
Spaniards
proud
,
ambitious
,
bloudie
,
tyrannicall
,
rauening
,
and
voluptuous
?
if
not
,
then
call
to
mind
one
example
more
of
their
barbarous
crueltie
executed
by
Don
Iohn
,
after
the
battell
of
Ieblours
,
where
hauing
taken
neere
2000.
Wallons
,
he
caused
them
to
be
tied
by
two
and
two
,
and
to
be
tumbled
headlong
ouer
the
bridge
of
Namures
into
the
riuer
of
Mewse
.
If
neither
this
doe
suffice
you
,
(
for
to
a
partie
so
partiall
what
proofe
can
seeme
sufficient
)
for
the
satisfying
of
the
indifferent
Reader
,
I
will
onely
adde
the
testimonie
of
Paulus
Iouius
both
a
Papist
,
and
therefore
one
that
will
not
slaunder
them
,
especially
when
he
compareth
them
with
Protestants
,
&
who
was
an
eie
witnes
of
the
thing
he
writeth
,
and
therfore
could
not
be
deceiued
through
other
mens
information
.
He
writing
of
the
taking
of
Rome
,
by
the
armie
of
Charles
the
5.
(
consisting
of
Spaniards
and
Italians
,
Papistes
,
and
the
Germane
Protestants
)
saith
,
that
the
Germanes
after
the
slaughter
of
their
armed
enemies
at
the
first
Encounter
,
laid
aside
their
swordes
,
with
so
calme
a
carriage
,
that
they
set
their
prisoners
at
libertie
for
a
verie
small
ransom
:
their
rage
they
turned
against
the
Churches
and
Images
,
defacing
them
because
they
were
Protestantes
;
and
did
deride
the
Popes
lawes
:
then
speaking
of
the
Spaniards
he
addeth
;
Hispani
autem
astuta
&
implacabili
crudelitate
acerbiores
,
vt
abdita
arcanáque
familiarium
eruerent
,
tormentis
atque
supplicijs
in
nobilissima
corpor
a
graffabantur
,
tanta
auri
cupiditate
vt
Iulij
Pontificis
Cadauer
,
multa
exesum
carie
,
eruere
,
&
anulo
spoliare
non
dubitarent
:
But
the
Spaniardes
being
more
bitter
with
a
subtile
and
implacable
crueltie
,
did
assaile
the
bodies
of
honourable
personages
with
tortures
and
tormentes
,
to
get
their
secret
and
hidden
treasures
,
though
they
had
beene
before
that
,
their
familiars
,
with
so
great
desire
of
gold
,
that
they
doubted
not
to
dig
vp
the
bodie
of
Pope
Iulius
almost
consumed
with
rottennes
,
and
to
spoile
it
of
his
ring
.
Is
this
the
dealing
of
Spaniardes
with
men
of
their
owne
Religion
?
and
that
in
the
seat
of
the
holy
father
himselfe
,
whom
they
professe
so
highlie
to
reuerence
?
Then
(
Sir
)
though
you
wash
them
with
nitre
,
and
take
to
you
much
soape
,
yet
their
crueltie
is
marked
,
and
their
bloudie
staine
will
not
be
done
away
.
But
,
what
a
bad
bird
is
this
that
so
defileth
his
own
nest
where
he
was
hatched
and
bred
?
The
English
(
saith
he
)
did
abuse
themselues
intollerablit
in
offering
most
inhumane
and
barbarous
iniuries
to
the
Spaniardes
,
whiles
they
were
here
in
Queene
Maries
time
,
villanous
words
were
ordinarie
Salutations
both
in
streets
and
Churches
,
our
victuals
we
solde
to
them
at
a
double
price
;
their
water
they
did
drinke
,
we
did
not
onely
make
them
buy
,
but
diuers
wels
we
poysoned
of
malice
to
destroy
the
Spaniardes
:
that
our
men
sent
their
wiues
and
daughters
of
purpose
to
allure
them
by
that
meanes
to
spoile
them
of
their
money
;
and
a
number
of
such
other
heroicall
actes
and
honourable
histories
,
which
(
he
saith
)
Spaniards
and
others
doe
recount
of
our
ciuility
,
&c.
If
the
Spaniardes
speake
so
euill
of
our
Nation
,
Lex
talionis
lex
aequa
,
and
like
shall
haue
like
,
why
should
they
complaine
,
if
the
measure
they
haue
mett
to
others
,
the
same
be
remeasured
to
them
againe
?
And
yet
it
is
not
altogether
the
same
measure
:
they
speake
of
our
land
vntrulie
,
and
wee
of
them
report
nothing
but
knowne
truth
.
And
if
affection
to
Spaine
preuailed
not
more
with
you
then
truth
,
you
might
remember
and
report
,
that
manie
outrages
were
by
the
Spaniardes
at
that
time
committed
against
our
countriemen
;
as
namely
,
that
great
tumult
at
Westminster
betwixt
our
men
and
the
Spaniards
,
whereof
great
mischiefe
was
like
to
haue
ensued
.
What
was
the
ground
of
it
?
in
whom
was
the
fault
?
was
it
not
about
two
harlots
?
and
was
not
the
fault
wholie
in
the
Spaniardes
?
for
whiles
some
Spaniardes
committed
wickednes
with
those
strumpets
,
others
with
dags
and
other
weapons
kept
the
entrie
of
the
cloistures
;
some
of
the
Deanes
men
came
in
the
meane
space
into
the
cloyster
,
at
whom
the
Spaniardes
discharged
their
dagges
and
hurt
some
of
them
,
whereof
great
busines
was
like
to
follow
:
But
you
shew
your selfe
worse
then
one
of
the
broode
of
Cham
,
who
was
cursed
for
vncouering
his
fathers
shame
,
for
you
seeke
to
lay
shame
vpon
your
mother
England
before
she
deserue
it
,
to
please
a
forreiner
,
and
a
sworne
enemie
to
her
.
Now
let
all
men
of
conscience
,
yea
of
common
reason
iudge
,
whether
of
vs
two
hath
the
malignant
spirit
by
you
named
,
I
in
discouering
the
daungerous
humours
of
the
Spaniardes
for
my
countries
good
,
or
you
in
not
onely
concealing
them
,
but
seeking
to
cleare
them
,
for
your
countries
harme
,
and
hazard
of
ruine
,
yea
in
labouring
in
your
censure
to
lay
so
odious
a
blot
of
disgrace
vpon
your
natiue
countrie
?
Concerning
their
late
King
,
and
that
before
alleaged
and
proued
by
me
in
my
former
booke
against
him
out
of
the
letter
of
discouery
which
I
cited
,
this
Encounterer
promiseth
himselfe
great
aduantage
against
me
,
the
vanitie
of
whose
conceite
shall
appeare
by
that
which
followeth
for
all
his
great
paines
taken
,
and
his
leauing
no
stone
vnmoued
whereby
he
might
discredite
either
me
in
cyting
such
a
letter
,
or
the
discouerer
in
writing
it
,
or
both
.
Sometimes
hee
seemeth
to
doubt
whether
there
were
any
such
letter
of
discouerie
sent
,
or
whether
the
tale
bee
not
wholy
forged
by
my selfe
;
nay
he
perswadeth
himselfe
to
discouer
both
treacherous
cogging
,
and
shameles
forgery
in
my
heart
and
hand
.
Concerning
which
obiection
of
forgerie
,
I
doubt
not
but
to
all
men
indifferent
it
might
bee
sufficient
for
me
to
answere
,
as
one
AEmilius
Scaurus
did
,
who
being
by
one
Varius
accused
of
treason
,
made
this
short
and
plaine
answer
,
Varius
dicit
,
Scaurus
negat
;
vtri
creditis
?
Varius
saith
it
,
Scaurus
denieth
it
,
whether
doe
you
beleeue
?
In
like
sorte
if
I
should
answere
concerning
this
odious
crime
of
forging
and
inuenting
this
letter
,
N.D.
a
Iesuiticall
scholler
and
sworne
Spanish
obiecteth
it
,
Francis
Hostings
a
Christian
and
true
hearted
Englishman
denieth
it
;
whether
doe
you
credite
?
The
iudgements
of
as
many
as
were
not
more
then
halfe
Spanish
would
acquite
mee
.
But
yet
for
further
euidence
I
adde
,
that
this
discouerie
was
written
in
nature
of
a
letter
from
a
true
hearted
Englishman
,
dwelling
at
that
time
with
a
great
man
in
Spaine
,
the
name
of
the
writer
was
one
Iohn
Bradford
(
not
Bradford
whom
Boner
put
to
death
,
but
Bradford
a
Papist
;
)
the
Nobles
to
whom
this
letter
was
directed
,
were
the
Earles
of
Arundel
,
Shrewsbury
,
Pembroke
with
other
Nobles
,
and
these
named
I
trust
you
will
cleare
them
from
being
infected
with
the
humour
you
imagine
to
be
fed
by
him
.
Hauing
little
hope
to
perswade
the
indifferent
reader
that
I
forged
this
letter
of
mine
owne
head
,
hee
proceedeth
to
seeke
to
discredite
the
certificate
in
it selfe
.
For
short
answere
whereto
,
there
be
two
things
materiall
of
which
I
must
say
somewhat
,
the
marriage
it selfe
of
this
King
to
Queene
Marie
,
with
the
conditions
thereof
insisted
vpon
by
this
English
Spaniard
,
and
made
a
speciall
colour
to
crush
the
credite
of
Bradfords
aduertisement
,
and
the
secret
intent
of
the
King
by
this
letter
discouered
.
By
the
first
,
viz.
the
conditions
of
the
marriage
together
with
the
Kings
vsage
,
towards
the
English
for
a
space
,
hee
would
ouerthrow
the
second
,
namely
the
certificate
of
the
Kings
secret
meaning
.
But
(
Sir
)
your
inference
hereupon
is
very
feeble
and
weake
,
in
taking
vpon
you
hereby
to
controule
the
aduertisement
of
Iohn
Bradford
to
be
false
.
The
world
hath
not
found
it
strange
for
some
politike
men
to
make
semblance
of
loue
when
they
meane
nothing
lesse
;
I
will
not
hunt
far
for
proofe
touching
the
argument
in
hand
,
or
for
disproofe
of
this
Encounterers
wrongfull
exception
against
me
:
Let
the
Anti-Spaniard
and
Mercurius
Gallo-Belgicus
both
Papists
,
and
Emanuel
Lewis
a
Portugal
,
in
his
open
confession
at
the
Guild-hall
,
and
sundrie
others
suffice
for
my
clearing
,
not
to
haue
written
that
I
did
without
ground
of
proofe
in
my
former
booke
.
It
were
not
amisse
to
remember
and
consider
,
what
moued
your
Popish
Prelates
and
others
to
bee
so
busie
in
hand
to
haue
Ladie
Elizabeth
,
now
our
most
worthie
and
happie
Queene
,
married
to
some
Spaniard
,
and
to
bee
posted
ouer
with
her
portion
much
about
the
time
,
that
it
was
said
,
Queen
Marie
was
with
childe
,
and
when
your
Catholike
King
was
concluded
to
bee
Protector
and
gouernour
to
the
issue
hoped
for
.
I
dare
not
say
(
for
offending
your
Worship
)
that
I
feare
it
should
haue
been
the
best
of
our
sweet
Queenes
fortune
,
(
if
that
match
had
gone
forward
)
to
haue
liued
with
her
husband
in
Spaine
,
whilest
your
King
Catholike
enioyed
by
vsurpation
the
possession
and
gouernment
of
her
Kingdome
in
England
,
to
the
killing
of
all
true
English
hearts
:
but
I
dare
boldlie
say
that
many
thousands
in
England
doe
praise
God
from
their
hearts
,
that
she
so
happelie
escaped
so
daungerous
and
base
a
match
,
and
that
we
so
happelie
enioy
so
worthie
and
blessed
a
Queene
.
The
conditions
of
the
Marriage
and
vsage
of
the
King
for
a
space
being
too
weake
an
inference
to
disproue
the
certificate
concerning
his
secret
meaning
,
But
to
fill
vp
the
discredite
you
desire
to
lay
vpon
Bradford
for
this
his
aduertisement
so
honestlie
giuen
to
the
Nobles
of
England
,
you
aske
How
he
could
in
Spaine
discouer
so
great
a
secret
that
lay
in
the
Kings
breast
in
England
?
For
answere
I
must
tell
you
,
that
I
hope
it
is
not
vnknowne
that
there
was
some
intermission
of
time
betweene
the
Kings
marrying
of
Queene
Mary
and
her
death
;
besides
that
,
when
the
King
was
in
England
I
trust
he
had
not
all
his
Nobles
and
Counsellors
with
him
:
if
this
were
consulted
on
,
and
concluded
before
the
marriage
,
he
might
then
get
notice
of
it
;
if
it
were
concluded
on
after
the
marriage
,
why
might
not
this
be
brought
to
his
Master
and
others
into
Spaine
,
by
letters
from
some
of
the
Nobles
that
were
with
the
King
here
?
So
that
this
is
but
a
poore
shift
to
discredite
Bradfords
aduertisement
,
and
the
circumstances
considered
that
I
did
set
downe
before
of
his
being
a
Papist
in
profession
,
in
dwelling
a
Spaniard
,
and
in
place
not
to
write
this
without
perill
,
I
doubt
not
but
to
euery
one
in
whom
reason
ruleth
and
not
passion
,
it
will
proue
probable
enough
that
there
might
bee
a
iust
cause
of
such
an
aduertisement
.
When
Lewis
the
French
King
his
sonne
was
by
our
nobles
called
into
England
,
and
set
vp
for
their
King
against
King
Iohn
,
the
Vicount
Melun
(
falling
deadly
sicke
)
vpon
remorse
of
conscience
,
secretly
confessed
to
diuers
of
the
Barons
,
what
was
the
purpose
of
Lewis
to
doe
when
he
had
once
obtained
the
Crowne
,
namely
that
Lewis
with
sixteene
of
his
Counsellors
(
whereof
this
Vicount
was
one
,
)
had
compacted
after
possession
of
the
Crowne
obtained
to
depriue
our
chiefe
Nobles
of
their
lands
and
possessions
,
and
driue
them
into
perpetuall
exile
.
And
so
farther
proceeding
,
and
with
many
teares
pittying
the
extreame
miserie
this
land
was
like
to
come
vnto
,
he
brake
out
into
these
words
:
My
friendes
,
I
counsaile
you
earnestly
to
looke
to
your selues
,
and
to
prouide
the
remedie
in
time
,
least
it
come
vpon
you
vnwares
;
your
King
for
a
season
hath
kept
you
vnder
,
but
if
Lodowicke
preuaile
he
will
put
you
from
all
.
&c.
Had
Lodowicke
so
treacherous
an
intent
when
our
Nobles
so
highly
fauoured
him
,
and
shal
it
seeme
strange
that
King
Philip
should
haue
such
a
secret
meaning
?
did
a
Frenchman
and
an
enemie
vpon
very
remorse
of
conscience
bewray
this
secret
?
and
might
not
Bradford
an
Englishman
(
though
a
Papist
)
hazzard
his
life
to
discouer
King
Philips
daungerous
plot
against
his
countrie
?
Or
may
our
Chronicles
recorde
this
purpose
of
Lodowicke
and
publish
it
to
posteritie
?
and
may
it
not
be
lawfull
for
me
to
set
downe
the
discouerie
of
your
Catholike
Kings
secret
determination
,
to
admonish
my
countrie
men
,
to
take
heed
how
they
lend
aide
to
bring
in
a
forraine
ruler
into
the
Realme
,
least
perhaps
it
follow
that
they
be
displaced
themselues
,
and
be
made
straungers
in
their
owne
land
?
childish
toyes
,
such
as
one
would
not
imagine
that
a
man
of
Sir
Francis
name
,
house
,
and
calling
,
would
euer
publish
:
But
such
childish
toies
they
are
,
as
euerie
sound
&
true
Englishman
,
hearing
of
the
seruile
gonernment
of
Spaine
,
and
feeling
the
freedome
we
liue
withall
in
England
,
will
from
his
heart
praise
God
for
the
blessed
freedome
we
liue
vnder
,
and
pray
to
God
for
euer
to
deliuer
vs
from
Spaines
bondage
,
and
this
doe
many
other
Nations
besides
vs
,
wherof
some
haue
been
so
miserably
taxed
,
that
they
haue
been
forced
(
as
one
doth
crediblie
report
)
to
sell
their
beds
they
lie
vpon
to
pay
taxations
imposed
vpon
them
.
In
the
cloze
of
this
,
when
I
set
downe
what
you
say
of
your
kings
determination
concerning
the
Ladie
Elizabeth
,
as
well
as
the
rest
after
,
you
haue
referred
vs
to
that
you
haue
set
downe
before
of
his
kindnes
to
her
,
when
she
was
prisoner
(
to
which
I
haue
made
you
alreadie
a
full
answere
:
)
you
runne
into
your
common
place
of
railing
againe
,
and
adde
;
That
no
modest
man
can
cease
to
wonder
how
so
infamous
a
libell
could
be
suffered
to
passe
to
the
print
,
especially
containing
diuers
personall
,
reprochful
,
contemptuous
calumniations
against
so
great
&
potent
a
Prince
.
&c.
I
like
you
wel
(
sir
)
you
are
fast
to
your
friends
,
I
wish
I
could
find
you
as
faithfull
to
your
Soueraigne
;
then
should
I
find
you
as
hot
(
if
not
more
hot
)
in
raging
against
those
of
your
side
that
haue
most
wretchedlie
railed
against
her
Maiestie
your
rightful
Soueraigne
,
Hercules
furens
in
the
tragedie
raged
,
and
threatned
to
be
reuenged
of
those
that
had
slaine
his
children
,
himselfe
indeed
hauing
slaine
them
,
in
his
mad
moode
:
so
these
good
fellowes
crie
out
against
those
that
vtter
opprobrious
speeches
against
Princes
,
whereas
themselues
are
the
peerles
and
matchles
men
of
all
Christendome
,
in
whom
the
saying
of
Saint
Iude
is
verified
:
Which
despise
gouernment
and
speake
euill
of
them
which
are
in
authoritie
.
I
protest
I
am
abashed
and
my
pen
trembleth
to
set
down
those
intolerable
calumniations
that
not
onely
forreiners
,
but
home-borne
Papistes
haue
vttered
against
her
Maiestie
.
I
know
not
how
to
compare
them
herein
,
but
to
the
diuell
the
father
of
all
slaunder
and
calumniation
,
for
as
it
is
written
in
the
Reuelation
,
Bartholomaeus
de
miranda
master
of
the
Popes
Pallace
,
behaueth
himselfe
towards
your
Soueraigne
,
and
with
how
villanous
reproches
he
doth
load
her
in
his
admonition
set
before
the
Epistle
of
Osorius
directed
to
her
.
Remember
how
he
raileth
at
her
that
wrote
the
cononization
of
Didacus
,
who
being
a
Spaniard
,
was
of
speciall
purpose
sainted
by
the
Pope
to
further
the
King
of
Spaine
in
his
intended
conquest
of
England
.
And
though
the
wiser
sorte
of
our
Nation
haue
learned
euen
by
the
lawes
of
morall
ciuilitie
(
as
your selfe
confesse
)
that
a
man
must
speake
moderately
also
of
his
enemie
,
yet
the
learned'st
of
our
English
Papistes
haue
not
learned
to
speake
moderatelie
of
their
Soueraign
,
whom
they
ought
not
to
reckon
their
enemy
:
you
know
how
immoderatly
&
immodestly
Station
,
Saunders
,
and
Rishton
(
to
omit
others
)
doe
raile
against
her
,
as
against
the
Turke
himselfe
they
could
not
doe
worse
.
Now
(
Sir
)
how
should
that
which
vpon
vrgent
occasion
(
if
to
inuade
,
and
seeke
to
conquer
the
land
,
and
to
make
way
thereunto
by
seeking
the
shortning
of
my
Soueraignes
life
through
treasons
may
be
reckoned
an
vrgent
occasion
)
I
say
how
should
that
I
haue
set
downe
against
your
Catholike
King
,
anger
you
,
if
so
manie
opprobrious
and
contumelious
reproaches
(
as
you
know
)
vttered
against
your
Soueraigne
;
and
that
not
alone
by
forrainers
,
but
by
such
as
should
be
subiects
,
doe
not
moue
you
?
I
write
against
a
straunger
,
truly
;
these
against
their
Soueraign
,
falsely
:
I
,
to
confirme
subiects
hearts
,
in
loyaltie
and
obedience
to
their
lawfull
Soueraigne
;
they
,
to
corrupt
Subiectes
heartes
,
and
to
make
them
disloyall
and
disobedient
to
their
Soueraigne
:
I
,
to
free
my
countrie
from
all
vsurpers
,
they
,
to
fill
their
countrie
with
forraine
gouernment
:
I
,
to
preserue
vnto
vs
the
sincere
truth
of
Gods
Gospell
;
they
,
to
thrust
vpon
vs
a
false
worship
by
Poperie
and
superstition
.
And
this
shall
suffice
to
shield
and
deliuer
me
from
being
harmed
,
or
grieued
by
your
slaunders
,
and
for
all
your
malice
to
me
,
I
am
sorie
you
should
carrie
so
vilde
and
villanous
a
mind
,
as
not
to
be
vexed
to
see
your
Soueraign
so
dispitefully
and
disloyally
dealt
withall
.
But
I
haue
now
so
good
cause
to
guesse
the
vnsoundnes
of
your
heart
to
my
Soueraigne
,
by
this
your
wrangling
,
and
wicked
Ward-word
,
as
I
cannot
expect
or
hope
for
anie
good
fruit
of
a
loyall
heart
towardes
her
Maiestie
from
you
.
And
to
confirme
me
and
all
true
Subiectes
in
this
opinion

Lopus
did
vndertake
to
doe
the
abominable
fact
,
for
which
he
was
profered
and
promised
fiftie
thousands
crownes
(
which
I
hope
cannot
be
taken
to
be
the
gift
of
anie
Subiect
:
)
fourthly
for
this
purpose
,
Lopus
sent
Andrada
ouer
to
Callis
to
conferre
with
Counte
Fuentes
about
this
practise
;
and
caused
Stephano
Ferrera
de
Gomo
another
Portugale
to
write
letters
to
Stephano
Iberra
the
Kings
Secretary
at
Bruxels
,
to
assure
him
&
Fuentes
,
that
the
detestable
fact
should
be
performed
if
the
50000.
crownes
were
paid
,
which
letter
Lopus
himselfe
sent
by
one
Gomes
Dauila
a
Portugale
.
But
Andrada
not
being
thought
fit
to
follow
so
great
a
cause
,
Ferrera
was
chosen
to
manage
it
,
by
whom
the
Doctor
did
againe
assure
the
performance
of
this
villanie
;
and
then
there
were
bils
of
exchaunge
for
the
mony
deliuered
by
the
Counte
Fuentes
,
the
one
from
Gonzalo
Gomez
to
Pedro
de
Carreras
,
the
other
from
Gomez
to
Iohn
Pallacios
:
And
if
(
through
the
merciful
prouidence
of
almightie
God
)
these
had
not
been
lingered
,
and
that
in
the
meane
time
by
the
diligence
and
carefulnes
of
one
of
the
Lords
of
her
Maiesties
priuie
Councell
the
matter
had
not
been
discouered
,
the
villanie
had
been
attempted
and
acted
,
and
so
brought
out
of
doubt
(
as
this
Espaniolized
champion
seemeth
to
haue
wished
)
to
the
vnauoydable
hazard
of
ruine
in
mans
iudgement
to
our
Countrie
and
State
.
So
haue
you
here
vpon
honorable
credence
plainely
proued
,
that
Lopus
should
haue
been
the
Actor
of
this
villanie
,
that
Andrada
,
Ferrera
Gomez
Dauila
,
and
Manuell
Lewes
(
all
Portugales
)
were
Agents
and
Messengers
to
him
about
it
;
that
Mendoza
your
Kings
Embassador
in
France
,
Christofero
de
Moro
,
Count
Fuentes
,
and
Secretarie
Iberra
(
all
Councellors
to
your
King
)
were
Directors
to
these
Agents
and
Messengers
,
and
how
farre
your
King
himselfe
did
direct
herein
,
let
the
booke
tell
you
:
And
therefore
haue
you
no
cause
to
doubt
of
Lopus
his
bloudie
meaning
in
this
bloudie
busines
.
To
returne
to
your selfe
(
Sir
)
I
make
no
doubt
but
you
desire
to
be
beleeued
in
all
that
you
haue
scattered
in
your
Libell
,
and
not
least
in
this
last
part
;
for
if
you
could
creepe
into
the
secret
bosomes
of
our
English
Nation
,
and
winne
credit
to
be
beleeued
,
that
all
that
you
say
is
Gospell
,
you
might
then
hope
of
some
likelihood
to
preuaile
in
your
shameles
sute
for
toleration
,
Pius
Quintus
his
Bull
,
the
perill
of
which
curse
you
will
not
incurre
;
and
such
is
the
force
of
your
Catholike
Religion
and
Spanish
Crownes
,
as
you
will
rather
worship
Dagon
,
then
serue
the
liuing
God
,
and
giue
your
faith
to
an
vsurping
stranger
,
then
keepe
yours
giuen
,
and
due
to
your
lawfull
Soueraigne
.
Yet
for
all
this
you
doubt
not
to
tender
a
remission
of
your
whole
answere
to
the
iudgement
of
the
Lords
of
her
Maiesties
Councell
,
by
which
your
answere
,
and
remission
(
if
it
bee
well
scanned
in
matter
and
manner
)
you
will
bee
found
iustlie
to
deserue
all
the
titles
contained
in
this
one
verse
,
Vafer
,
detractor
,
mendax
,
elatus
,
iniquus
.
A
subtile
,
railing
,
lying
,
proud
,
&
treacherous
man
.
And
thus
much
haue
I
aduentured
to
offer
to
the
view
of
my
Christian
Countrymen
in
defence
of
my
former
Watch-word
,
collected
by
me
out
of
my
Christian
affection
to
them
for
their
benefite
,
that
they
may
know
I
stand
still
constant
,
and
confident
to
defend
the
truth
of
my
God
,
against
Poperie
and
all
other
heresies
,
to
performe
my
Loialtie
to
my
Soueraigne
against
all
Popish
Espaniolized
Traytours
,
and
treason
,
and
to
stand
for
the
libertie
of
my
Countrie
against
Rome
and
Spaine
,
and
all
forraine
Potentates
whatsoeuer
;
as
also
that
my
silence
should
not
cause
them
to
conceiue
,
that
this
masked
Champions
rayling
tongue
hath
any
way
distempered
me
,
or
his
threatning
brauadoes
any
whit
dismaied
me
,
the
first
whereof
I
passe
ouer
,
with
little
regard
,
according
to
the
Counsell
of
wise
Salomon
:
It
is
the
glorie
of
a
man
to
passe
by
offences
:
the
second
I
scorne
,
being
sent
out
by
a
cowardlie
Companion
that
speakes
big
,
and
dares
not
shew
his
face
.
To
conclude
,
And
now
to
knit
vp
this
my
Resistance
to
euery
of
your
rayling
Encounters
,
(
Sir
N.D.
)
I
assure
my selfe
you
shall
finde
all
the
Protestants
and
Professors
of
Gods
truth
in
England
,
as
also
many
of
those
that
are
infected
with
the
Romish
Religion
,
so
well
resolued
from
your
owne
pen
of
your
want
of
ciuilitie
in
rayling
beyond
measure
,
and
your
want
of
a
found
heart
to
your
Soueraigne
and
Countrie
,
in
so
highly
extolling
your
two
greatest
Monarches
of
Rome
and
Spaine
,
to
the
preiudice
and
touch
both
of
Queene
and
Countrie
(
so
farre
forth
as
the
power
of
your
wicked
wit
and
words
can
deuise
,
and
perswade
)
as
your
glosing
shall
gaine
little
credite
to
worke
my
condemnation
in
any
of
their
iudgements
,
either
for
any
thing
that
was
in
my
former
booke
,
or
for
any
thing
contained
in
this
latter
:
For
I
meane
none
other
in
all
that
is
said
,
but
a
desire
of
confirmation
to
the
one
in
a
holy
profession
,
and
a
reformation
to
the
other
of
their
being
any
longer
seduced
,
and
misled
by
Romes
inchantments
,
and
a
care
in
both
to
stand
firmelie
and
faithfullie
to
defend
their
Soueraigne
and
Countrey
,
against
forraine
malice
and
home
Treason
;
whereunto
if
way
should
bee
giuen
,
God
should
be
dishonoured
,
our
Queene
endaungered
,
our
Countrie
depriued
of
it
auncient
and
most
comfortable
liberties
,
and
then
what
can
either
one
or
other
looke
for
but
miserie
,
and
desolation
.
For
what
befell
both
to
Guelphes
and
Gibellines
when
the
Gibellines
brought
in
a
friend
of
theirs
called
Facinus
Canis
,
who
was
to
haue
the
goods
of
the
Guelphes
for
his
paie
?
He
was
no
sooner
gotten
in
,
but
that
without
sparing
of
either
,
both
sides
were
spoyled
;
whereof
when
the
Gibellines
complained
,
saying
that
their
goods
were
spoyled
contrarie
to
agreement
,
this
their
friend
by
them
brought
in
answered
,
That
themselues
were
Gibellines
,
and
they
should
bee
safe
;
but
their
goods
were
Guelphes
and
they
must
pay
for
it
:
Your selues
can
make
the
application
;
and
so
to
your
wisdomes
I
leaue
it
,
beseeching
God
to
continue
his
wonted
mercie
towards
our
Queene
and
land
,
and
to
giue
to
this
my
aduersarie
and
all
of
his
faction
a
better
minde
,
if
it
stand
with
his
good
will
and
pleasure
.
Amen
.
