TO
THE
MOST
Reuerend
father
in
God
,
Iohn
,
bishop
of
London
,
long
health
and
felicity
in
Iesus
Christ
.
BEing
stirred
vp
,
(
most
Reuerende
father
in
God
)
with
the
sweete
exhortation
of
Paul
,
who
sayth
,
in
spirituall
thinges
I
would
not
haue
you
ignoraunt
,
but
couet
spirituall
giftes
,
and
most
chiefely
for
to
prophesie
,
which
doth
edefie
,
exhort
and
confort
:
I
thought
it
good
,
seeing
the
church
of
God
tossed
with
stormes
,
through
the
depenes
of
Sathan
,
who
roreth
like
a
deuouring
Lion
,
and
worketh
the
spirit
of
error
in
mens
harts
,
&
soweth
tares
among
the
wheat
of
the
Lord
,
to
laboure
in
the
vineyard
of
spirituall
vnderstanding
,
by
the
goodnes
of
the
vnspotted
Lambe
,
who
openeth
the
booke
with
the
seuen
seales
,
wherein
the
whole
state
of
his
Church
is
reuealed
,
in
what
case
it
shall
stand
,
from
his
assention
,
till
his
comming
in
glory
.
Touching
which
Reuelations
,
with
all
the
misteries
of
the
Scripture
,
I
hauing
written
a
booke
at
large
,
called
the
golden
closet
,
and
Key
that
vnlocketh
heauenly
misteryes
,
and
another
called
the
glorious
garland
of
mans
glorification
,
thought
it
good
,
in
the
meane
time
,
hauing
sent
this
epistle
and
others
to
diuers
Papists
in
England
(
touching
whom
a
good
worke
by
the
grace
of
God
is
wrought
)
to
dedicate
this
same
vnder
your
protection
,
hopyng
that
as
it
hath
done
good
to
others
by
writing
,
so
by
Print
it
may
doe
much
more
,
if
it
shall
please
you
of
your
good
fauoure
and
Heauenly

,
wherewith
you
are
knowen
to
bee
fruitfull
among

of

consolation
of
Soules
,
and
to
the
reward
of
your
Heauenly
calling
in
Iesus
Christ
:
to
accept
it
.
Thus
I
doe
commend
your

MY
desired
to
the
truth
of
the
Gospell
.
When
I
considered
how
great
a
wishe
Paul
doth
insinuate
towarde
hym selfe
,
as
to
bee
Anathemy
touching
his
body
,
in
respect
to
winne
his
brethren
:
I
am
,
or
else
I
ought
to
bee
,
so
much
thereby
stirred
vp
,
vpon
the
tendernes
of
loue
,
as
to
offer
some
porcion
to
you
and
others
,
of
that
good
gift
,
and
tallent
,
which
the
Lord
hath
gieuen
me
:
If
by
the
grace
of
God
,
it
may
please
you
to
accept
it
sincerely
and
meekely
,
that
by
that
meanes
the
spirite
of
adoption
standing
at
the
doore
of
your
heart
,
may
enter
into
your
inward
man
,
and
worke
more
redely
,
that
sweete
motion
in
you
as
not
to
harden
your
heart
,
when
tha●
you
heare
the
voice
of
Gods
holy
truth
I
write
not
to
molest
your
conscience
an●
minde
,
but
to
walke
with
you
in
the
way
of
persuasion
,
trusting
by
the
powred
Gods
word
(
which
is
sharper
then
a
tw●
edged
sword
,
Heb.
4.
and
parteth
the
bone
from
the
marrow
,
&
the
spirit
from
the
soule●
to
persuade
you
,
by
the
intercession
o●
hym
,
(
beyng
a
true
mediator
for
euer
who
sitteth
in
heauen
,
on
the
right
han●
of
the
Father
,
before
whom
we
must
appeare
in
Iudgement
to
make
an
accomp●
at
the
great
and
feareful
day
of
the
Lord
that
you
will
be
so
much
contented
,
b●
the
will
of
God
,
as
to
deliberate
with
beter
aduisement
,
touching
that
sentence
of
S.
Paul
,
Philip.
2.
who
sayth
,
worke
out
thy
saluation
with
feare
and
trembling
.
And
also
touching
the
sentence
of
Peter
,
Pet.
2.
which
sayth
:
Vse
all
diligence
to
make
thy
election
sure
.
Wherein
we
are
sufficiently
counselled
,
how
much
it
standeth
euery
man
in
hand
,
to
looke
to
the
sauing
health
of
his
soule
,
which
is
so
sweete
and
preciouse
;
considering
that
there
is
a
way
to
saluation
,
and
a
way
to
perdition
.
Timoth.
2.2
.
Therefore
we
ought
deepely
to
consider
of
that
sentence
of
Paul
,
which
sayth
,
that
if
a
man
striue
for
a
maistry
,
hee
is
not
crowned
,
except
hee
striue
lawefully
.
For
which
cause
I
am
moued
in
the
tender
kindnes
,
which
my
soule
beareth
toward
all
soules
,
to
desire
you
,
in
the
springling
of
Christ
his
bloud
,
that
you
will
looke
so
carefully
into
your selfe
,
as
that
you
may
bee
sure
(
by
grace
)
so
to
striue
and
ron
,
as
that
you
may
win
the
crowne
of
eternall
life
.
Cor.
1.10
.
For
S.
Paul
willeth
vs
to
bee
most
vigilant
,
when
hee
sayth
,
you
that
seeme
to
stand
take
heede
you
fall
not
.
So
that
let
not
presumption
or
stifnes
stop
your
eares
from
the
truth
,
and
cary
you
away
to
vnknown
ceremonies
,
but
first
proceede
with
sincerity
of
hea●e
and
pure
praiers
offred
vp
to
god
,
intreating
him
to
geeue
you
his
wisedome
,
according
to
S.
Iames.
Iames.

If
any
man
lacke
wisedome
let
him
aske
it
of
God
,
and
he
geueth
it
:
ask
in
fayth
&
wauer
not
&c.
And
with
this
order
,
in
heart
examine
your selfe
,
for
God
knoweth
the
secrete
motions
of
all
mens
heartes
,
and
then
ponder
what
I
write
to
you
,
and
I
am
persuaded
in
my
fayth
,
that
you
shall
presently
feele
the
spirite
of
adoption
to
moue
your
spirite
,
and
to
leade
you
into
all
truth
;
alwayes
prouidyng
,
in
the
examining
of
your
owne
conscience
,
agaynst
the

and
the

which
striue
agaynst

to
holde

of

,
by
contrary
resistance
of
minde
,
through
the
spirite
of
error
,
which
is
busy
in
all
mens
thoughtes
.
Whereupon
it
standeth
you
and
all
vs
the
more
in
hand
,
to
looke
to
the
foundation
of
our
Saluation
,
Cor.

lest
that
wee
buyld
vpon
a

doe

and
so

Wherefore
●et
me
persuade
with
you
,
to
vse
no
other
●yne
,
then
the
golden
rodde
of
the
Gospell
to
measure
your
religion
with
all
,
●est
that
you
leaning
to
much
to
traditions
,
doe
decline
from
the
measure
of
the
Gospell
,
when
as
God
sayd
streightly
to
Moses
,
Heb.
8.
(
buildyng
the
tabernacle
)
see
that
thou
doest
all
thinges
according
to
the
pattern
which
was
geuen
thee
.
And
therfore
,
Christian
wisedome
doth
moue
vs
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
to
follow
the
very
patern
of
the
Gospell
,
if
wee
minde
to
walke
as
children
of
the
day
,
professing
the
good
and
true
profession
.
In
consideration
whereof
,
I
hope
that
you
will
accept
this
my
wryting
as
a
sweete
motion
,
with
examining
the
deepenes
thereof
to
your
consolation
,
in
a
confirmed
verity
of
a
better
profession
then
as
yet
you
holde

And
now
to
proceede
the
grounde
of
the
matter

Whereas
o●
heauenly
Sauiour

being

〈◊〉
vpon

how
much
he

For

I
co●●
now
to

,
to
shew
by
euide●●
scripture
(
by
the
holy
will

〈◊〉
is
that
great
Beast
in
the

and
who
is
that
sinfull

that

as

:
according
to
the

and
which
Citty
is
the

with
whome
the

of

haue
committed
spirituall
fornication
,
Reu.

according
to
the
18.
of
the
Reuelation
.
To
the
confirmation
whereof
that
the
truth
may
bee
truly
extracted
,
I
wyshe
that
all
mens
hearts
were
opened
:
Fyrst
by
prayer
,
and
then
to
consider
the
deepenes
of
these
reasons
which
ensue
.
Of
the
which
,
first
and
principally
,
I
thus
declare
and
proue
by
introduction
,
The
Turk
that
the
Turke
is
not
that
Beast
nor
sinfull
man
,
for
the
Turke
hath
beene
an
enemy
,
from
his
first
vprising
,
manifested
to
all
Christians
,
whereby
it
appeareth
playnely
,
that
hee
is
not
the
sinfull
man
exalted
in
the
Temple
of
God
.
For
S.
Paul
.
sayth
that
the
sinfull
man
must
bee
opened
at
this
time
,
Thess.
2.
●
who
commeth
by
the
delusion
of
Sathan
:
But
the
Turke
hath
bene
alwayes
an
open
aduersary
,
&
therfore
can
not
bee
sayd
to
be
opened
.
For
what
soeuer
is
manifest
,
can
not
be
say●
to
be
opened
;
but
he
which
is
a
close
,
priuy
,
secret
&
coulored
aduersary
is
say●
to
be
opened
,
so
that
the
Turke
is
not
th●
sinfull
man
,
and
Beast
named
in
the
13
of
the
Reuel
.
but
hee
is
the
very
imitate●
of
Antiochus
,
who
did
alwayes
shew
hym selfe
an
open
tyrant
to
the
Israelites
.
Presbiter
Iohn
.
Next
to
this
,
Presbiter
Iohn
of
the
South
of
Affrica
,
can
no
way
bee
say●
to
bee
the
Beast
in
the
13.
of
the
Reuelation
,
or
exalted
man
in
the
Temple
,
fo●
as
he
doth
dwel
beyond
the
middle
Sea●
so
he
hath
little
or
no
conference
in
religion
with
other
kingdomes
,
but
is
knowen
to
meddle
little
with
Europe
or
Asi●
and
besides
the
state
of
his
Kingdome
〈◊〉
such
,
that
neither
Asia

with
whom
the
Nations
of

ha●●
committed
spirituall
fornication
,
according
to
the
18.
of
the
Reuelation
.
Also
tha●
Beast
and
sinfull
man
,
or
Whoore
of

,
Great

can
not
bee
applyed
to
great
Cham

his
Cittyes
in
the
North
East
of

for
hee
was

Monarchy
of

did
discend
into
his
Countrey

or

and
therefore
neither

it
can
not
bee
the
Emperours
,
Emperour
.
for
they
were
also
open
persecutors
of
the
truth
,
and
therfore
being
manifest
aduersaries
,
could
not
be
said
(
according
to
S.
Paul
)
to
bee
opened
.
Thess.
2.2
.
Neither
is
it
the
high
King
of
Persia
,
or
any
temporall
King
of
the
Earth
.
For
Christ
to
discide
this
whole
controuersy
,
and
to
make
the
truth
hereof
to
bee
knowne
to
his
congregation
,
doth
manifest
to
Iohn
by
Reuelation
,
that
hee
is
a
Starre
fallen
to
the
Earth
,
that
hath
the
Keyes
of
the
bottomles
pit
,
according
to
the

Reu.

of
the
Reuelation
,
and
that
he
burneth
like
a
blasing
lampe
,
and
not
like
a
pure
candell
to
bee
sette
vpon
a
Candelsticke
,
Reu.
8.
according
to
the
.8
.
of
the
Reuelation
.
&c.
Whereby
it
being
euident
,
by
all
the
places
of
the
Scriptures
,
that
a
Starre
doth
represent
a
prelate
and
spirituall
pastoure
of
the
Church
,
as
in
Daniel
.
12.
and
Reuelations
.
1.
And
this
being
apparent
,
that
there
is
no
Prelate
in
the
World
,
that
doth
so
much
exalt
hym selfe
as
the
Pope
doth
;
therefore
by
true
consequence
I
affirme
the
Pope
to
be
this
Beast
in
the
.13
.
of
the
Reuelations
,
Thess.
2.2
.
the
sinfull
man
in
the
Thessa

and
his
seate
and
Citty
the
whoore
of
Babilon
in
the
.18
.
of
the
Reuelations
,
with
whom
all
nations
haue
committed
spirituall
fornication
.
Thess.
2.2
.
And
now
that
the
mistery
of
the
Reuelations
and
the
prophesie
of
Paul
,
doe
agree
with
the
beginning
,
proceeding
,
opening
,
and
darkening
of
the
Popes
auctority
,
and
his
seat
▪
and
also
that
his
Citty
by
succession
and
inheritaunce
triumphant
is
the
onely
heyre
of
the
first
Babilon
,
inioying
the
fourth
Monarchy
,
whereupon

doe
euidently
to
any
spirituall
minde

shew
it selfe
to
bee
a
case
most
playne
,
that
the
Pope
is
the
foresayd
Beast
:
and
further
to
proceede
effectually
to
proue
this
matter
,
that
you
may
bee
rooted
in
the
truth
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
Reu.

that
first
after
the
ascention
of
Christ
into
Heauen
,
that
then
his
Church
proceeded
pure
,
his
word
sincerely
preached
,
by
his
Apostles
,
and
so
proceeded
vnder
the
coloure
of
a
white
Horse
,
Reu.
6.
according
to
the
opening
of
the
first
seale
.
After
their
time
it
proceeded
in
the
coloure
of
a
red
Horse
,
representing
bloudy
persecutions
,
as
in
the
Emperours
dayes
,
as
in
the
second
seale
openning
.
And
after
the
diuision
of
time
it
proceeded
in
the
coloure
of
a
blacke
Horse
,
being
contrary
to
the
first
white
Horse
,
which
was
pure
religion
,
for
then
did
arise
the
ceremonies
of
the
Romise
Church
,
and
the
exaltation
of
the
Pope
and
his
seate
.
Whereupon
,
his
vprising
being
in
the
fiue
hundred
yeare
after
Christ
,
is
aunswering
rightly
to
the
thir●
seale
opening
of
the
blacke
Horse
.
&c.
And
to
the
mistery
of
Iohn
measuring
the
Temple
,
Reu.
11.
where
he
is
commaunded
to
ca●●
out
the
quire
or
outward
court
,
which
by
computation
commeth
to
foure
hundred
cubites
,
which
represent
yeares
meaning
thereby
,
that
whereas
the
Gentyles
and
vnbeleeuing
Emperours
haue
persecuted
the
Church
openly
for
fow●
hundred
yeares
after
Christ
,
that
h●●
should
not
measure
that
,
because
it
manifest
,
but
measure
the
Temple
and
the
Aulter
,
and
them
that
worshipp●
therein
,
meaning
that
secrete
treading
downe
of
the
Temple
and
truth
of
Gods
word
,
that
as
the
measure
of
the
Temple
and
Aulter
doth
contayne
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
threescore
Cubites
,
(
which
represent
yeares
)
that
so
long
shall
the
Pope
(
being
the
foresayd
Beast
and
sinfull
man
,
euidently
shewed
and
proued
)
tread
downe
the
verity
of
Gods
truth
,
which
number
of
yeares
doth
pricke
fast
to
his
ende
.
And
therefore
seing
that
the
introduction
of
the
seates
of
Kingdomes
,
the
euent
of
the
cause
,
and
the
mistery
of
the
Reuelations
,
doth
shew
the
Pope
to
bee
that
Beast
in
the
.13
.
Thess.
2.2
.
Reu.
11.
of
the
Reuelations
,
and
doth
shew
his
seate
to
bee
of
great
antiquity
,
and
his
continuance
to
bee
till
Christ
come
in
the
Cloudes
:
it
is
then
an
heauy
and
wretched
bragge
,
to
boast
of
his
antiquity
,
or
to
cleaue
to
his

For

that

because
they
beleued

had
pleasure

Thess.
2.2
.
And
that
sinfull
man
that
so
exalteth
hym self
in
the
Temple
of
God
as
God
,
shal
be
destroied
euen
with
the
very
appearaunce
of
God
.
Wherfore
,
I
am
to
beseech
you
,
and
all
of
your
profession
,
to
way
deepely
this
that
I
do
write
in
short
,
which
in
an
other
worke
I
haue
comprehended
at
large
,
for
it
is
the
very
truth
of
Gods
word
and
his
Reuelations
.
Wherein
if
occasion
seru●
vpon
your
partes
,
to
haue
mee
in
conference
,
I
doubt
not
but
that
you
will
yel●
to
the
spirit
of
God
,
which
will
worke
it
you
an
effectuall
worke
of
grace
,
touching
which
,
I
pray
God
that
so
it
may
bee
.
And
now
touching
the
supremacy
consider
that
you
deceyue
not
your
selues
,
for
her
Maiesty
,
is
an
Anoynte
Prince
,
Cron.
2.
and
hath
the
Scepter
of
Iuda
i●
her
hand
,
as
well
in
euery
respect
as
kin●
Dauid
,
Salomon
,
Asa
,
Ezekiah
,
and
Io●ah
:
For
did
not
Salamon
a
temperol
kin●
build
the
Tempell
?
Did
not
Iosiah
an●
the
rest
of
the
good
Kinges
,
correct
an●
order
that
in
their
Realme
that
was
t●
the
glory
of
God
,
and
abolish
that
whic●
was
to
the
contrary
?
The
very
like
pow●●
doth
her
maiesty
take
vpon
her
,
as
h●
maiesty
may
lawfully
and
truely
.
An●
therefore
take
heede
of
that
coloured
●●●sure
of
the
Popes
presumptuous
authority
,
for
it
is
not
of
God
,
but
of
the
Dragon
.
Thus
praying
that
your
heartes
may
bee
opened
vnto
all
truth
,
I
commend
you
to
Mount
Sion
,
there
to
search
with
prayer
,
that
you
may
make
your
election
sure
,
and
become
to
professe
a
good
profession
.
Fare
you
well
,
and
Christ
feede
you
,
leade
you
,
and
speede
you
.
I
am
yours
to
doe
you
good
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Gospell
,
as
to

Dij
A
coppy
of
an
aunswere
to
the
foresaid
letter
,
by
the
Author
.
I
Reioyse
in
that
you
haue
graunted
in
writing
,
as
otherwise
by
consent
in
conference
,
to
be
so
carefull
in
making
your
election
sure
,
as
not
to
condemne
,
nor
to
contemne
the
spirituall
giftes
,
which
God
hath
geuen
me
,
and
the
writinges
,
admonitions
,
and
instructions
,
which
I
haue
sent
you
.
For
whereas
you
did
not
conceiue
the
mistery
of
the
Reuelations
,
touching
the
antiquity
of
the
Romish
Churche
and
the
Beast
in
the
13.
of
the
Reuelations
,
so
you
did
litle
regard
the
difference
of
the
priesthod
of
Melchisedech
,
Heb.
7.
which
is
euerlasting
,
according
to
endles
life
.
The
want
of
the
deepe
vnderstanding
thereof
,
did
hold
you
in
error
,
and
doth
cause
multitudes
to
ron
still
after
beggerly
ceremonies
and
Romish
traditions
.
And
besides
the
want
of
vnderstanding
the
misteries
of
the
Reuelations
,
and
of
Daniel
,
hath
with-holden
many
in
bon●age
of
papisme
,
whereas
the
truth
her
of
being
liuely
described
(
as
I
trust
haue
performed
it
,
through
the
grace
of
God
)
will
strengthen
you
in
a
grounded
fayth
to
renounce
the
Pope
and
is
traditions
.
Thus
intending
to
satisfie
you
with
word
of
mouth
,
at
●he
day
of
your
expectation
,
I
will
declare
to
you
the
deepenes
of
all
the
Reuelations
,
in
such
ample
manner
and
with
such
fortitude
of
reasons
(
by
Godes
grace
)
as
that
I
hope
I
shall
●e
yours
,
and
you
shall
bee
myne
,
and
●e
shall
be
both
one
in
Christ
.
A
dehortation
.
ANd
now
whereas
Dan●
prophesing
of
th'
extre●
abhomination
,
saith
,
th●
the
time
shall
come
th●
the
great
Prince
,
Mich●●●
which
standeth
on
the
peoples
side
,
sh●●
arise
vp
:
for
there
shall
come
a
time
trouble
,
such
as
neuer
was
,
since
there
●●gan
to
be
people
,
vnto
the
same
tyr●●●
Which
Christ
doth
also
affirme
in
24.
of
Mathew
,
saying
,
that
then
th●●
shall
be
great
tribulation
,
such
as
was
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
to
〈◊〉
time
,
that
except
those
dayes
should
〈◊〉
shortened
,
there
should
no
fleshe
bee●ued
,
but
for
the
chosen
sake
those
da●●
shall
be
shortened
.
Touching
the
wh●●
Christ
declareth
the
occasion
and
rea●●
of
such
tempestuous
dayes
of
daunge●
that
there
shall
be
such
false
Christes
〈◊〉
false

,
that
shall
doe
such
m●●●cles
and
wonders
,
that
if
it
were
poss●
the
very
elect
should
be
deceiued
.
So
〈◊〉
it
appeareth
plainly
,
that
before
the
end
of
the
world
,
shall
great
stormes
of
troubles
vniuersaly
happen
,
answering
rightly
to
the
6.
of
the
Reuelation
,
that
when
●he
two
Prophets
or
witnesses
of
God
haue
ended
their
testimony
,
which
is
the
preaching
of
his
glad
tidinges
of
his
testamentes
throughout
all
the
world
(
according
to
the
24.
of
Mathew
,
that
then
the
time
is
come
,
that
the
Beast
in
the
13
of
the
Reuelations
,
shall
arise
to
heale
his
wound
by
making
warre
against
the
gospellers
:
for
by
that
great
meanes
of
tribulation
spoken
by
Daniel
and
by
our
Sauiour
Christ
shall
his
wound
which
he
hath
receiued
by
the
preachers
of
the
Gospell
)
be
healed
vp
agayne
,
and
that
through
the
meanes
of
that
two
horned
Beast
like
a
lambe
,
whom
Sathan
will
and
shal
raise
vp
at
this
his
last
loosing
before
the
end
of
the
World
,
to
doe
such
magi●all
miracles
,
that
if
it
were
possible
the
●lect
should
be
deceiued
.
For
then
commeth
it
,
that
Daniel
sayth
,
hee
shall
be
grimmer
then
all
his
fellowes
&c.
Fo●
then
is
the
time
come
,
that
he
shall
mo●●
highly
exalt
hym selfe
in
the
Temple
〈◊〉
God
as
God
,
according
to
the
Thess.
●
and
2.
whom
the
Lord
shall
destroy
wi●●
his
owne
appearaunce
,
when
he
comme●●
in
the
Cloudes
,
and
this
aunswere
to
th●
13.
of
the
Reuelations
,
that
there
shall
b●
an
Image
made
vnto
the
Beast
,
by
t●●
meanes
of
that
two
horned
Beast
like

,
that
is
the
great
false
Prophet
that
shall
make

come
downe
fro●
Heauen
,
in
the
sight
of
the
Beast
and
t●●
people
,
and
then
shall
the
dayes
bee
daungerous
and
cruell
,
that
whosoeue●
riche

high
or
low
,
that
doe
〈◊〉
take
the
marke
of

,
can
not
b●
suffred
to
liue
.
By
which
meanes
it
is

,
that
if
the

ten

of

it
would
goe

they

be
inforced
either
to

or

So
that
then
is
that
performed

that

shall
bee
purified
,
clensed
,
and

;
but
the
wicked

Daniel

12.
and
then
happy
are
they
that
shall
fight
the
good
fight
,
and
so
put
on
the
shield
of
fayth
,
as
to
waite
vntill

for

to

,
there
to
be
fed
with
his
holy
word
,
as
Elias
was
.
And
now
when
this
tribulation
shall
begin
,
shall
three

in
prosperity
,
and
no
harme
happened
vnto
vs
:
but
since
we
left
to
offer
,
many
stormes
of
troubles
and
euills
haue
greued
vs
:
Then
answered
Ieremie
,
saying
forasmuch
as
your
sinnes
were
so
greate
in
such
sacrifices
,
the
Lord
could
no
longer
suffer
you
,
and
so
this
is
the
cause
of
your
misery
,
because
you
forsake
the
truth
.
The
like
wounde
hath
the
Lord
geuen
to
you
and
your
whole
kingdome
of
Papisty
,
because
of
your
superstitious
offerings
to
Saints
,
and
pilgrimages
,
when
you
say
that
you
had
all
plenteousnes
.
But
now
the
daies
are
not
so
agreeable
in
cheapenes
.
〈◊〉
therefore
beware
that
you
being
forewa●●
of
the
truth
of
the
Gospell
,
by
many
a
true
remie
,
do
not
harden
your selues
,
and
say
,
wil
doe
as
our
fathers
did
,
we
wil
pray
to
S●●tes
,
and
goe
on
pilgrimage
to
such
a
Sain●
goe
offer
at
such
a
m●sse
,
for
then
we
ha●
things
cheape
;
lest
that
you
so
cutting
off
truth
from
you
,
doe
perish
with
them
of
●gipt
.
And
furthermore
,
whereas
you
〈◊〉
sent
among
vs
many
of
your
smal
writing●
gloses
,
like
sugred
pills
,
which
hauing
an●
ward
feeling
of
sweetnes
,
are
notwithstā●
in
the
full
taste
thereof
as
bitter
worm●
in
that
you
turne
the
word
of
the
Gospell
lawe
to
wormwood
,
by
inducing
reasons
o●
the
ceremonial
lawe
of
Aron
.
to
prooue
〈◊〉
superstition
which
is
abolished
by
Christ●
therfore
search
the
scriptures
more
thē●●●ditions
,
that
you
may
gyrd
your selues
with
verity
,
and
not
hurt
by
your
writings
and
amples
the
tender
sheepe
of
Christ
.
But
e●
deepely
into
the
bottom
of
your
heart
,
and
c●●sider
that
you
ought
not
to
bring
straunge
〈◊〉
●pon
the
altar
,
as
Abihu
&
Nadab
did
:
no
●ore
ought
yee
to
make
other
worship
then
the
●ospell
doth
commaund
you
,
contrary
to
the
●hich
,
your
traditions
and
superstitions
bee
●any
;
from
which
wash
you
and
make
you
●leane

and
then
your
sinnes
though
they
were
〈◊〉
redd
as
skarlet
,
shall
be
made
whiter
then
●owe
.
Wherefore
measure
not
the
pure
reli●●●n
and
truth
of
the
Gospell
,
by
looking
to
the
●ife
and
sin
of
the
people
:
but
try
the
truth
by
●he
very
Word
it selfe
:
For
wickednes
will
●rowe
vp
among
the
true
professors
,
in
that
●athan
doth
there
beare
greatest
spight
,
to
●rawe
them
into
sinne
.
Therefore
thou
people
of
England
,
make
thee
ready
to
mete
thy
God
,
●nd
let
not
thy
houses
be
ful
of
voluptuousnes
,
●nd
thy
Citties
full
of
wickednes
:

For
Eze●hiel
sayth
that
God
wil
powre
out
his
indig●ation
vpon

Therefore
,
O
England
,
●uffer
not
wilfulnes
to
wax
greene
,
malitious●es
to
growe
vp
,
vngodlines
to

For
