Yet a course at the Romyshe foxe .

☞ A dysclosynge ☞ or openynge of the Manne of synne , Contayned in the late Declaratyon of the Popes olde faythe made by Edmonde Boner bysshopp of London . wherby wyllyam Tolwyn was than newlye professed at paules crosse openlye into Antichristes Romyshe relygyon agayne by a newe solempne othe of obedyence , notwythstandynge the othe made to hys prynce afore to the contrarye .

¶ An alphabetycall dyrectorye or Table also in the ende therof , to the spedye fyndynge out of the pryncypall matters therin contayned . Compyled by Iohan Harryson .

SEns the worldes begynnynge ( dere frynde in the lorde ) hath inyquyte had hys frowarde course , and schall so haue styll to the latter ende therof . In Iob. 4. 2. Pet. 2. Iudae . 1. Genes. 6. the verye angels or spretes of heauen ded god fynde an vntowarde stubbernesse and an obstynate crokednesse . what he hath had in the vngodlye chyldren of menne sens the dayes of Cain tyll thys present age , it were moche to wryte . Of that was sumtyme the churche of Christ , hath yt made the Synagoge of sathan euer sens that aduersarye was sett at large after Apoc. 2. Iob. 2. Apoc. 20. Iudae 1. Math. 7. 2. Pet. 2. the thousande years , and sumwhat afore whose malygnaunt members vndre tytle of a spirytualte are alwayes fylthye who remongers , murtherers , theues , raueners , Idolatours , lyars , dogges , swyne , wolues , abhomynable workers , aduersaryes to god , and verye deuyls incarnate .

Of whose cursed cruell nombre one , ys Apoc. 9. Math. 7. Proue . 26 Psal. 143. Edmonde Boner now bysshopp of London , a verye fearce furyouse angell of the bottomlesse pytt , as his dayly frutes declareth him . Specyally this declaration of hys here folowynge , whom he malycyouslye enforced wyllyam Tolwyn the person of saynt antonynes openlye to proclame before the audience at paules crosse the yeare afore thys to the terrour of ther tymerouse conscyences and confusyon of Sap. 17. 1. Thes. 5. 1. Ioan. 4. Apoca. 9. ther sowles . Marke the doctryne therin contayned , and proue the sprete and veyne therof by the scripturs , and ye schall fynde it no lesse than the fylthye fomynge smoke of the insacyable chaos or pytt without bottom . Neyther ys god therin sought , nor yet anye godlynesse . For in God is not herin named ones , but to condemp nation . the whole processe ys not he ones named but to condempnacion . I thynke sens cristes ascencyon was not soche a monstruouse thynge seane as yt ys , thus offred to the peple for a necessarye doctryne of faythe . No , not vndre the most wycked tyrauntes . antichrist is not all out of englande .

In the most pestylent tyme of papystrye was not soche a peruerse professyon made vnto Antichristes ragged rewles , as thys ys here , yf yt be throughly wayed . I haue redde dyuerse recantacyons made in Iohan wycleues tyme of phylyp repyngdon , Thomas waldenus i fasciculo heresium . Iohan puruaye , Rycharde with Nycolas herforde , harrye crompe , wyllyam swynderbye , Robert rigge , walter dashe , Iohan hunteman , Thomas britwell and other , but non soche as thys ys , neyther so folyshe nor yet so deuylyshe . Gala. 1. 1. Cor. 16. Acto . 15. Saynt Paule holdeth hym accursed of god , that techeth any other doct●●ne than the gospell , or the sacred scripturs of the Byble , though he were an angell from heauen . Moche more must he be accursed than which mynystreth nothynge but wickednesse . Math. 15. Gala. 4. Esa. 1. Dani. 14. Amos. 5.

Nothynge ys here taught but the doctrynes of menne , the beggerlye tradycyons and dyrtye dregges of the pope , as holye water makynge , processyon goynge , sensynge of Images , and latyne wawlynge in the temple , wyth other lyke fylthye fantasyes , which are soche vayne worshyppynges as God doth abhorre . No synne ponishe the papystes with soche extremyte . And with tyrannye are they here extorted , by open rebukes and shames of the worlde . Of so many traytours as the bysshoppes and prestes haue knowne , of theues , manquellers , Idolatours , whoremōgers , swearers , and sodomytes , neuer brought they one yet to Paules crosse there to do open penaunce . But for sekyn ge to haue the verite syncerelye preached Enemyes to the glorie of god accordynge to the wholsom commaundement of Christ and the kynge , was thys poore manne ponnisshed before all the cyte and enforced for the same to proclame him selfe an heretyque . sabellicus Platina et Ioan nauclerus .

Euen soche an other part hath my lorde of London played here with Tolwin , as Dioclecianus played wyth Marcellinus the bysshopp . For lyke as he compelled hym openlye to renounce Christ , and to do sacrifyce to the Idols after the heythen maner . So doth my lorde here constrayne Tolwyn to forsake hys verite and swe are to the obseruation of papistrye , which Act. 4. Marc. 8. Ioan. 1. Luce. 12. Math. 10. Apoc. 3. 1. Tim. 5. ys of the same stynkynge leuen . To denye Christ ( which ys all one with hys worde ) before menne , hath he most cruel lye enforced thys poore innocent manne so puttinge him in daunger of his denyal againe before his eternal father , which is euerlastinge dampnacion , be he not the more mercyfull vnto hym . For If he beleueth that denyenge the verite with mouthe on lye , he ys out of that parell of sowle so lō ge as he styll retayneth yt in hys hart , he Eusebius cesariensis et Epiphanius . is sore deceyued as were the helchesaytes Ageynst whom wrote both origene and Epiphanius the bysshopp of salamyne in cypres , confutinge that opynyon oft hers as a most detestable heresye .

Ther couenaunt with God ( sayth saynt Augustinus super psal. 118. Austyn ) do not they obserue , but be cometh therin vnfaythfull , which for auoy dynge persecution goeth backe from hys true testymonyes . Moche after thys sort Antonius auerarius sermo . 34 recanted Theodocyon the ephesiane , con fessynge with the hebyonites and Iewes christ alone to be manne , after that he had ▪ godlye interpreted the scripturs . And in thus doynge he thought himselfe also discharged in conscyence , for that he ded it of feare , and bycause he therin named not god . Manye are now in englande which walke vndre these subtile shaddowes , Lyke conneyaunce nowin englande . but yf they thynke so to auoyde the daunger of gods indygnacion , they sore deceyue themselues . Sebastianus the holy martyr perseuinge Marcellus and Marcus two bretherne at that parelouse poynt of Antonius auerarius sermo . 42 ther sowles destruction , offred himselfe vnto the deathe to holde them still stede fast in the true christen beleue , least they schuld so haue peryshed for euer .

Whan Iames the lesse was settvp at hieru Idem in lib. de virtutibus sermo ne . 18. salem in the common preachynge place by the Pharysees and scribes to reuoke agayne that doctrine of saluacyon which he had taught , he ded not onlye afferme yt a freshe , but also with a moche larger circumstaunce more yt , without feare of deathe . And therfor hath yt bene an honour Eusebius cesariensis vnto him euer sens , besydes hys euerlastynge rewarde with God . where as it is to them that renounce yt , perpetuall shame and confusion . In the primatiue churche Canones concil● niceni & platina . were they putt to penaunce amonge the vnbaptysed beleuers , that had in persecution forsaken the truthe , and were not receyued agayne vnto the christen communion , but after great repentaunce and prayer . Nolesse plage limyteth the scripture vnto than that so cowardlye recanteth Apoc. 3. Luce. 12. Mat. 10. Marc. 8. Luce. 9. Mat. 25. Ioan. 12. than the racinge of ther names out of the boke of life . He that is ashamed of me ( sayth Christ ) and of my worde in this aduouterouse generacion before menne , of him wyll I be ashamed before the mageste seate of my eternall father , what schuld ye feare them that slee the bodye , whan they can do no harme to the sowle ?

Wo be to yow shrynkynge chyldren Esa. 30. Os●e . 7. Abdye . 1. ( sayth the lorde ) whych seketh helpe at the power of Pharao , and confort in the shaddowe of the Egypcyanes . Both schal Pharaos helpe be yowr confusyon , and the shaddow of Egypt yowr vtter shame Hieremie was a stronge wall of stele , yet was he stoned vnto deathe . Iohan Baptyst Here. 1. Luce. 1. Marc. 6. Math. 14. Ioan. 8. Ioan. 15. was great before the lorde , and full of the holyeghost from hys mothers won be , yet was he beheded of Herode . Christ gaue hys owne lyfe for the truthe of hys worde , and promysed hys dyscyples non other rewarde of the worlde but deathe for the same . An honour ys yt to suffre for ryghtousnesse , and a glorye of immortalite . Eccle. 4. Sap. 3. 2. Tim. 2. Non schall be crowned ( sayth saynt Paule ) but he that lawfullye stryueth . The nature ys ( sayth saynt Hierome ) of these wretched tyrauntes , to constrayne Hierom. in quadam homelia . the poore innocent sowles to denye Christes veryte before menne , that they myght lose that crowne and be dampned .

Neuer manne harde anye of them yet 1. Cor. 15. Gala. 1. Ioan. 8. Ephe. 4. recante wyth Paule , though ther generacyon hath for the more part bene murtherers , so hath the lorde geuen them vp into most depe errours of the sprete . Whan iudgement in causes of relygion ys commytted to soche monstruouse mahoundes what godlynesse can folowe ? What a Ceremonyes are the cause and grounde of superstycions mendement of euyls can be loked for ? They saye ther ceremonyes maye stande , the superstitions taken away . And yet haue those ther ceremonies bene the onlye grounde and cause of the superstitions . For had there bene no ceremonyes , neuer had there bene anye superstitions . But ful Neuer is the deuyll with out his craftes false are they and subtyle in ther generacyon . They knowe yt wyll be easye ynough to bringe in them ageyne , yf the other remayne . Master person podypoke and ser saunder slye hys parryshe prest schal haue a commaundement at the seane to do They do but dally and mocke with the kynge ther feates in that behalfe vnder the tytle of deuocyon or els of commendable rytes of holye churche , and the kynge schall neuer knowe of yt . Lete hym commaunde ▪ what he lyst , yet schall yt be as they wyll haue yt , spyght of hys hait . And I trowe they schall fynde iustyces a brode fytt for ther handes , in case the heretyques speake anye thynge ageynst them .

I trowe master Wharton of bongaye Wharton a greatvp holder of trayterose prestes in soth folke will not be behynde wyth hys part now , nomore than he hath bene a fore tyme , wyth hys colege of calkers that calked so longe for Cromwell , and for other more yf the worlde had not changed to ther myndes . The holy ghost thus deluded and the prynces godlye commaundement 1. Thes. 4. Mat. 3. Hiere. 50. 3. Reg. 18. sett all at nought , the lorde wyll not fayle to rayse out from amonge the troden stones in the strete or contenned multitude some ernest Helias or faythfull chylde of Abraham to touche ther abomynacyons . I am ( I knowe wele ) most symple and weake lerned of a great sort . Yet wyll in the quarell of thys poore Israelyte , Hebr. 11. Apoc. 19. Exod. 2. Ephc. 6. Hebr. 4. Apoca. 1. thys naturall cuntre manne of myne , and fellawe seruaunt of Iesus Christ , with Moyses invade thys proude straunger and cruell Egypcyane . Non other weapon wyll I take here , but the swerde of the sprete ( whych ys the worde of the eternall lyuynge God ) with the most auctorysed hystoryes and cronycles , and with them wyll I stryke hym to the grounde , so leauynge hym there in the sande .

An whole yeare haue I tarryed and more , Moche confession , but no true amendement of lyfe . to se yf anye amendement wolde come for thys outragyouse blasphemie age ynst God , he goynge so oft to confession , and I perseyue yt wyl not be . For sens hath he bene moche worse than afore . I se we le now , that do bysshoppes neuerso manye myscheues , in ther Benedicite rekenynges No repentaunce in ther Benedicite rekenynges they haue no place to repentaunce . Neuer haue they conscyence of ther most wycked doynges , and therfore must the worlde knowe them to ther vtter shame . Most deuylyshe wyll hys pontificall actrs apere , come they ones to the true touche 1. Ioan. 4. Math. 7. Iude. 1. Apoc. 18. stone , whych ys Christes doctrine . I doubt not but to please Christ in doynge thys office , and intouchynge thys aduersary of God with hys whoryshe holy churche or blasphemouse spouse of the deuyll

I haue for that purpose geuen myselfe Suffre must he that will lyue in Christ . Psal. 115. Credidi , propter quam locutus sum &c. ouer vnto pouerte , and vnto a peynefull exyle with my wyfe and chyldren , and schall not ( I trust ) refuse the deathe also , yf yt come that waye . For so necessarye ys yt now to suffre for Christes doctryne as in the aposteles tyme . For why , alone veryte ys yt that was than persecuted and now . Manye hath alredye in the stedfast beleue of Dauid , spoken lyberallye and hath bene greuouslie troubled for yt . Wyth stomake haue they rebuked the worlde , and shewed menne of ther fylthye errours . They haue remembred God for hys benefytes and haue bene heauy to se them abused . Wherfor they haue receyued the cuppe of saluacyon , callynge Calicem sa lutaris et c̄ . Preciosa in conspectu . vpon the name of the lorde . Perfourmed haue they ther promes vnto God , in the presence of hys peple . Precyouse in the syght of the lorde was the deathe of those hys holye wytnesses , whych they suffred there for hys sake .

And I trust there be yet manye more 3. Reg. 19. 2. The. 2. Daniel . 11 Apoc. 13. behynde of the same godlye zele and stomake , that neuer wyll cease tyll that wycked one be vttred , whych styll exalteth herselfe in the conscyences of menne aboue all that ys called God . Manye nowe a dayes whych hath bene touched sumwhat with the sprete af Christ , hath begonne The Popes churche is the deuyls Iakes . to smell out the fylthie sauer of that iakes of the deuyll , but they haue not yet brought the verye thynge to lyght . No , some there be abrode in the worlde , walkynge vndre the pretence of the gospell , whych do all they can to hyde the fylthye Nahum . 3. Esa. 47. Apoc. 17. Ezech. 16 partes of that monstrouse madame , that rose couloured whore of Babylon , where as God hath decreed to putt her to shame and confusyon . The bokes whych hath bene putt forth by menne of lernynge Aduersaryes to Gods heauenlye purpose . to discouer her myscheues , do they now gelde , myngle , hacke , cutte , take fro and putt to . Some to gett lucre in the sale of them , some to auaunce ther owne names , and some to please the bysshoppes therwyth .

How shamefullye are the bybles handled , whych now hath neyther annotacyons Soche enemies fyndeth the verite alwayes . nor table ? How the godlye confessyon of the germanes , the common places of Sarcerius , and now of late certen notable treatyses els compyled by sondry lerned menne , with dyuerse other workes more . To se how dyuerslye menne do seke them selues now , yt ys a wondre , not carynge what wyckednesse they mynystre Them selues doth menne seke and not Iesus christ . Easye it is to perseyue , what hath brought these menne to the gospell , and what frutes they seke therof . Nothinge do they els in soche presumptuouse entripryses , but withstande the pleasure of God for ther owne fylthie lucre and dampnable deuyly she pleasure . The tyme is now come , wherin God wyll dysclose the stronge delusyon of antichrist , though all they saye naye to yt ,

Some menne doth loke that the selfe the worldlye iudge mente off diuerse menne . seyd antichrist or bodye of sathan , with all his supersticiouse kindes of Idolatrye schuld be destroyed by the powr of prynces , and therfor wolde they haue men to tarrye ther doinges . But those menne shote at a verie wronge marke . Full barelye haue they serched the scripturs therof , that loke for yt that waye . Cursed Daniel 8. Hiere . 17. Psal. 145. 2. Thes. 2. Esa. 11. Esa. 27. Psal. 1. ys he ( sayth the Prophete ) which trusteth in manne , and appoynteh hys strength vnto fleshe . Onlye schall the lorde with the breathe of hys mouthe , or sprete of 〈…〉 destroye that myghtye leuia than , as he by hys aposteles and prophetes hath specyfyed afore . Lyke dust in the wynde schall he scattre from the earthe that deceytfull generacyon of hypocrites

I denye yt not , but those godlye gouuernours Apoc. 21. Psal. 71. Esa. 61. Hiere. 50 Psal. 117. Apoc. 6. 2. Ioan. 5. of the earthe whych schall in these dayes brynge ther glorye and honour ryghtlye to the newe cyte of God ( as some hath done all redie ) shall shewe themselues faythfull mynysters , and seke hys glorie in that behalfe . But they schall not performe thys . For yt maye be non acte of manne by hys promes . Onlye ys that wonderfull conquest ouer the enemyes of God reserued to hys worde , and so ougth yt only therat to be loked for . The lorde commaunded Iohan hys elect apostle Apoc. 11. Gal. 4. in measurynge the temple , to seclude from yt as no porcyon therof , the chast cell of charmers . Wych ys by the iudgement Lucae . 3. Apoc. 11. Apoc. 22. Ephe. 5. 1. Cor. 6. of hys worde , to separate from hys true congregacyon , those spirituall sorcerers of Sodome and Egypt . Wythout ( sayth he ) are dogges and inchaunters , fylthye wurkers and manquellers , Idolatours and lyars . Than was thys in mystery spoken , now schall yt be actuallye fulfylled , as I haue in more ample wyse vpon the Apocalyps declared yt , whom I haue called the Image of both churches .

For non other cause haue I named thys The man of synne . boke here of Boner , The manne of synne , and the glose ther vpon made , hys dysclosynge or openynge , but for that yt contayneth nothynge els but a spirituall wyckednesse , Ephe. 6. 2. Thes. 2. Dani. 12. and ys therfor so called also of saynt Paule , and for that the other by manye clere manyfestatyons declareth the same . In manye places of the scripture ys manne a name of contumelye and reprofe , of vanyte Psal. 115. Psal. 61. Eccle. 12. Psalm. 38 1. Cor. 3. and falshede . All menne ( sayth Dauid ) are lyars . The chyldren of menne are deceytfull . All ys but vanyte ( sayth Salomon ) all ys but a fyckle vanyte . A vnyuersall vanyte ys euery lyuynge manne . Are ye not carnall ( sayth Paule ) are ye not Psal. 13. Ioan. 1. Gal. 4. beastlye , walkynge after mannys wayes ? Nothynge was manne but a myserye , tyll the lorde loked mercyfullye downe vpon him from heauen , and made hym hys chylde Psal. 3. Ioan. 1. Gala. 4. of adopcyon through faythe . Afore was he nothynge but a fleshlye generacyon , all of the fylthye earthe .

By cause that I therfor tryenge thys boke The cause whye this boke is thus intyteled . by the scripturs , haue founde therin non other frutes than hath rysen of the corrupt fantasyes of menne . I haue here with Paule intytled yt the man of synne , as a thynge offeryng not els of it selfe but synne ▪ who se abhomynacyons I haue here partlye opened to the intent that peple shuld be ware All schall to hell that is not of Gods worde . what churche christ loketh to receyue . of them . And that they whych haue receyued them in faythe , schuld vomete them out ageyne , least in the lordes commynge they peryshe with them . Non other fashyoned churche loketh Christ to receyue ageine of the worlde for hys eternall spouse , than that he left here in persecucyon for hys worde . No thanke are they lyke to haue of hym , whych hath brought into hys clere buyldynge , stubble , haye , or tymber , Mat. 16. 1. Cor. 3. or yet anye other corruptible thynges .

These myters , typpetes , furred amyses , Not off christ but of antichrist are these . and shauen crownes . These crosses , copes sensers , and candel styckes . These mattenses , masses , ceremonyes , and sorceryes , schall not he knowe for hys . For he commaunded no soche thynges to be done . He tolde them he wolde requyre mercye Esa. 1. Math. 9. Marci . 12. Osee . 6. zach. 7. at ther handes and no sacrifice , and therof haue they now nothynge at all . I moche rather desyre mercye ( sayth the lorde ) than offerynge , the knowlege of God than burnt sacrifyce . Thys text of Oseas and Mathew was very farre of from my lorde Boner , whan he sett vp a commaundement in Paules a geynst Byble readinge , for the tyme of ther Romyshe rablementes . Marke the last rekenynge of the indge Herem . 2. Math. 25. Esa. 58. Ezech. 18. 1. Cor. 11. in the. 25 , of Mathew , and ye schall se no soche thynges demaunded , as they loke to haue obserued . Herin ys not Chrystes instytucyon denyed in anie case , but the popes fylthye tradycyons and customes . So farre is hys holye ordynaunce aboue God and the deuyll are not lyke . the popes rustye rewles , as is the pure golde aboue the vyle dyrt of the dongehyll , or the imperiall heauen aboue earthe .

I knowe certenlye I schall for thys be called a thousande tymes heretique , but I waye it nothynge at all , for it is the olde The olde name of true christianes . name of true christianes . I thinke some of owr feble faynt bretherne , which are now neyther whote nor colde , wil dyuerslye saye ther mindes , and haue sentences moche lyke themselues . I knowe I schal be The olde rewarde of Gods true seruaunts . burned yf I maye be caught , but I care no thynge for it . For I doubt not my porcion to be with Christ , which wyll not suffre one heare to peryshe , but will restore it me ageyne at the latter daye . Yea , yf I lose for hym here , I knowe I schall be a Luce. 21. Mat. 16. Ioan. 12. Actu . 5. Math. 10. winner ageyne there . Rather I had to die manye deathes , than to obeye soche myscheues to my sowles condempnation . Neuer schall the lyfe of my synnefull carkas be so dere vnto me ( I hope ) as is the glorye of my eternall father and redemer Iesus Christ .

What is the religion of yowr churche The churche of englande holdeth fast the popes leauynges in englande at thys daye , but the popes dyrtye leauynges , the fylthye dregges of hys rotten vessels , and the cancred rust of hys olde worne pytchers . Surelye he that schall compare yowr churche to the churche that Christ left schall fynde them so vnlyke as chaffe to wheate , and claye to syluer . As in a myrrour is that to be seane in thys most deuylyshe declaration of Boner , to the wonderynge of all christen Iudge what that churche is bi this spum all frute . dome . Is not englande ( thynke you ) most dolorouslye to be lamented , thys beynge an open spectacle of ther christen lernynge , profession , and faythe ? and the wyndynge vp of ther newe gospell after ther churches reformation ? I trowe menne maye what men maye report of ther newe reformacyon . saye abrode , they haue frutefullye sytten vpon the causes of christen relygion so many years , bringinge it to soche a good ende . If it be thus in London the head cyte of the realme and so nygh the kynges presence , it must nedes be moche worse farder of .

Oh most vnshamefast boldenesse of a Esa. 56. Daniel . 8. 3. Ioan. 1. verye shamelesse Antichrist . Ryghtlye hath Daniel descrybed the great master of hys , geuynge hym an vnshamefast face . Thys is a matter not done in sylence , but openlye at Paules crosse , the more menne doth wondre of it , and thynke that not christ haue they sought but themselues . an other thynge hath bene sought there by the gospell preachynge , than Christes kyngdome . Well , I can not tell , the lorde amende all , but I knowe thys is abhominable . If it schuld cost me a score of lyues ( had I so manye ) I wolde not spare to vtter it to hys dyshonour , seynge the lorde thus blasphemed , and hys redemed heritage They ●atche home agyeyn ther pope . so abused . In thys pestylent professy on , is the great Idoll of Rome admytted ageyne vnto hys olde seate . By all crastie meanes seketh Boner here and other more of hys fellawes , to haue hym regne a freshe in the waueringe csōcyēces of menne . By layser will they also fynde the meanes They seke to restore him ageyne to purchase hym hys olde prymacye ageyne , and to haue hym the head of ther churche .

For what other is it to be sworne to hys pilde lawes , but to acknowlege him All one is the deuyll with hys deuylyshnesse . inwardlye for ther master and lorde ? Non canne ryghtlye allowe hys wares , vnlesse they allowe hym also . He and hys creaturs must nedes go togyther , as the worke manne with his worke toles . If holynesse be supposed to be in his vnccyons and blessynges , orders and ceremonyes , moche more in hys gloriouse persone which is the creator of them .
