THE
SECOND
PART
OF
THE
LATENY
,
OF
IOHN
BASTWICK
,
Doctor
of
Phisick
.
WORTHY
SIR
I
Was
sometime
in
a
demurre
,
whether
I
should
answer
any
thing
or
no
,
vnto
the
exceptions
you
made
against
my
LETANY
:
and
had
I
not
indeed
heard
from
many
,
that
others
also
,
from
your
speeches
conceiued
something
in
it
,
might
well
haue
been
omited
,
who
by
that
meanes
,
began
to
haue
a
preiudicat
opinion
of
my
honest
endeauours
,
I
should
neuer
haue
vouchsafed
to
haue
giuen
a
reason
of
my
proceedings
in
that
behalfe
,
till
I
had
been
called
in
question
.
But
in
regard
of
that
:
I
thought
fit
in
the
meane
time
,
in
a
few
words
to
signifie
vnto
you
,
that
whatsoeuer
you
seeme
to
blame
,
as
either
fauouring
of
rashnes
,
or
not
so
graue
,
was
of
purpose
put
in
by
me
,
and
proceeded
from
no
disguised
distemper
or
vnadvisednes
but
from
mature
deliberation
and
very
good
reason
.
And
whatsoeuer
you
may
thinke
of
it
,
I
hope
among
equall
Iudges
,
it
can
no
wayes
,
hurt
the
cause
of
any
honest
men
,
nor
procure
trouble
to
me
:
my
onely
ayme
and
end
being
the
honour
of
God
and
the
King
and
the
generall
good
of
this
Kingdome
,
Which
I
shall
euer
preferr
before
my
owne
life
and
well
being
.
Nay
had
I
neuer
so
many
liues
,
I
would
willingly
loose
them
all
in
the
cause
of
either
.
Neither
do
I
suppose
any
wise
men
,
to
be
so
shallow
,
that
if
I
should
handle
a
good
cause
neuer
so
weakely
,
or
vnaduisedly
,
that
the
truth
it selfe
should
suffer
for
my
deficiency
,
or
others
fare
the
worse
for
my
temerity
.
God
forbid
,
that
one
mans
fayling
should
any
wayes
proue
fatall
to
all
those
that
are
innocent
.
More
charity
I
do
conceiue
yet
dwels
in
the
world
,
then
that
the
innocuous
should
suffer
with
the
delinquent
.
But
now
breifly
to
summe
vp
what
you
obiect
against
MY
LETANY
,
OBLIGATION
and
EPISTLE
to
the
LADY
.
You
seemd
to
blame
some
three
passages
,
as
not
so
graue
but
comicall
,
others
to
hyperbolicall
,
and
sauouring
of
some
virulency
:
and
in
fine
thinke
,
that
some
others
will
be
questionable
,
as
scandalous
,
and
somewhat
dishonourable
to
the
diuine
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
and
the
holy
ordinance
of
Matrimony
.
To
all
which
,
I
suppose
among
all
rationall
men
,
I
shall
find
no
great
difficulty
to
answer
,
when
I
am
called
thereunto
.
But
in
the
meane
time
,
by
way
of
preface
,
I
haue
sent
you
the
ensuing
lines
,
in
the
which
I
shall
tell
you
,
and
that
vpon
good
grounds
,
there
is
no
iust
cause
why
any
should
blame
mee
for
mingling
ioc●●
serijs
et
seria
iocis
;
all
scurrility
and
prophanesse
being
avoyded
.
For
there
wants
not
presidents
of
this
kind
in
sacred
writ
:
that
in
the
most
graue
and
waightiest
matters
it
pleased
the
Prophets
of
old
to
vse
ironicall
speeches
,
yea
the
holy
Scriptures
are
full
of
them
;
But
not
now
to
enumerat
many
,
let
one
at
this
time
suffice
to
be
specified
.
Where
the
Prophet
deridingly
bids
.
Bals
Priests
cry
alowd
,
for
that
their
God
might
either
be
in
a
iourney
,
or
a
sleep
,
or
talking
with
his
freinds
,
I
pray
was
not
this
as
deepe
an
Irony
as
any
euer
was
,
and
that
in
a
serious
businesse
?
But
to
speak
no
more
of
that
,
let
vs
looke
into
all
the
famous
writers
of
all
ages
,
and
you
shall
find
that
many
of
them
haue
vsed
this
method
,
for
the
discouering
and
confuting
of
error
,
and
haue
more
confounded
the
aduersaries
of
the
truth
in
a
pleasant
and
merry
way
,
then
with
all
the
grauity
they
could
euer
vse
.
I
dare
say
the
Papists
themselues
will
tell
you
that
ALAGVNDE
,
that
noble
Gentleman
did
them
more
hurt
with
his
Beehiue
.
And
two
or
three
other
such
books
,
mixing
and
contempering
mirth
with
seriousnes
,
them
the
profoundest
Doctor
of
that
age
with
all
the
pouderosity
of
Arguments
and
solidest
tractats
.
Such
delight
change
of
writing
brings
,
that
euen
as
the
same
meat
dressed
after
a
common
maner
,
is
not
so
pleasing
,
nor
so
delightfull
to
many
,
that
know
the
diuersity
of
tasts
;
but
cooked
with
some
variety
,
as
some
time
with
tart
,
sometime
with
pleasant
sauce
,
doth
conciliat
an
excellent
appetit
:
so
the
same
truth
,
diuersly
set
out
,
and
comming
forth
in
a
new
fashion
,
and
something
merrily
,
makes
more
gazing
after
it
,
then
if
it
were
in
an
ordinary
graue
matronly
habit
,
which
vsually
is
not
looked
after
.
Neither
was
it
euer
more
seasonable
,
then
in
this
age
,
where
there
is
such
plurality
of
mutations
in
all
things
.
Besides
,
a
Writer
must
looke
at
the
condition
of
the
people
,
whose
benefit
he
aymes
at
,
the
variety
of
humors
,
sexes
and
conditions
,
and
must
so
order
things
,
that
they
may
please
the
most
.
If
grauity
please
not
,
they
may
haue
that
which
may
make
them
merry
.
If
seriousnes
on
the
other
side
&
sobriety
be
prized
,
they
may
find
no
want
of
that
neither
,
there
being
both
the
one
and
the
other
so
mingled
together
,
as
they
may
take
away
nauciousnes
and
recreat
the
readers
.
And
this
indeed
is
the
best
way
of
writing
,
though
nothing
now
a
dayes
can
please
all
mens
phantasies
.
It
was
the
counsell
of
the
Fathers
,
to
write
with
diuersity
of
style
in
the
same
faith
,
that
the
enimies
of
the
Gospell
,
and
errors
might
the
better
be
opposed
,
and
that
the
way
of
truth
might
the
more
easily
be
found
out
and
falsity
discouered
;
an
excellent
meanes
of
which
,
they
conceiued
to
be
the
variety
of
styles
and
writing
.
And
so
dayly
experience
teacheth
vs
.
It
is
with
many
men
in
our
dayes
as
it
is
with
those
that
are
stung
with
the
Tarantula
in
Apulia
,
who
are
cured
by
musick
,
and
that
not
with
euery
sort
of
musick
,
but
such
onely
,
as
at
that
instant
pleaseth
their
humour
,
which
the
Musitian
playes
long
many
times
before
he
can
find
out
,
or
light
vpon
,
and
sometyme
can
neuer
hit
it
;
so
that
many
perish
being
sodainly
stupisied
and
benummed
with
the
poyson
.
But
if
the
fidler
strike
vpon
that
string
that
pleaseth
their
Phantasy
,
then
immediatly
they
dance
and
so
continne
till
they
fall
downe
out
of
wearinesse
,
then
keeping
them
very
warme
&
sweating
them
,
when
they
haue
got
new
strength
that
they
,
begin
to
stirr
againe
,
they
likewise
fall
a
playing
the
same
lesson
,
and
they
dance
afresh
,
and
so
by
fits
continue
this
exercise
,
till
they
haue
sweat-out
all
the
malignancy
and
the
venome
:
and
by
this
meanes
and
this
onely
they
are
cured
.
Euen
so
I
say
,
in
this
age
where
there
are
so
many
stung
with
Popish
Tarantulas
,
all
sorts
of
musick
cannot
please
them
to
make
them
sweat
out
their
Poison
of
errors
;
for
I
playing
formerly
▪
somewhat
grauely
,
it
delighted
not
their
phansies
,
I
haue
endeauoured
now
therefore
with
a
more
merry
lesson
,
to
try
if
there
be
any
way
to
purge
that
venome
&
to
restore
them
to
sanity
of
mind
and
body
.
Our
Sauiour
Christ
compared
the
men
of
his
time
,
to
a
company
of
little
children
sitting
in
a
market
place
,
that
allthough
their
fellowes
had
mourned
vnto
them
,
they
neuer
had
condoled
with
them
:
and
all
though
they
had
piped
yet
they
neuer
had
danced
,
so
attent
they
were
to
their
fopperyes
and
vaine
inuentions
,
that
neither
mercy
nor
indgments
nor
any
thing
could
preuaile
with
them
:
And
yet
our
Saviour
ceaseth
not
still
to
vse
all
meanes
to
the
bringing
them
to
the
knowledge
of
God
and
of
themselues
.
And
now
to
speak
something
to
the
matter
in
hand
,
and
for
my
owne
particular
.
You
cannot
be
ignorant
,
that
for
these
three
score
yeares
and
vpward
there
haue
been
thousands
,
that
haue
writ
with
all
maner
of
grauity
and
humble
lowlines
calling
for
reformation
,
and
yet
nothing
hath
been
listned
vnto
,
but
for
their
paines
they
haue
beene
Seuerely
punished
,
and
miserably
vndone
by
the
PRELATS
.
As
for
my self
,
I
neither
medled
nor
made
with
them
,
nor
their
dignities
,
and
notwithstanding
out
of
their
meere
suspition
,
to
the
dishonor
of
God
and
the
King
,
and
our
holy
profession
,
they
haue
ruined
mee
and
all
mine
,
and
I
haue
now
layn
in
prison
mourning
these
two
yeares
,
and
few
haue
lamented
with
mee
I
must
confesse
I
had
at
this
instant
a
humour
of
piping
,
to
see
if
I
can
put
any
of
my
brethren
into
a
mind
to
dance
out
of
error
,
&
sweat
out
the
contagion
and
poison
of
heresies
that
are
now
drunk
in
;
and
if
I
shall
seeme
to
haue
been
ouer
pleasant
,
they
will
I
hope
dispense
with
it
,
when
they
know
the
occasion
.
You
thinke
that
in
my
Letany
I
am
too
comicall
,
I
conceiue
that
to
be
a
misprision
in
you
,
for
what
I
haue
set
forth
is
most
true
,
and
not
fained
,
most
of
which
I
haue
been
an
eve
witnes
of
,
and
can
produce
thousands
to
witnes
the
same
with
mee
.
And
were
I
a
little
comicall
,
I
hope
the
PRELATS
will
not
blame
that
in
mee
:
For
not
long
since
they
themselues
,
in
an
open
Court
of
iudicature
in
censuring
one
that
writ
against
comedyes
,
testifyed
their
liking
vnto
them
,
affirming
they
allowed
of
Comedies
,
so
the
abuse
were
taken
away
(
which
is
absent
in
mine
)
&
withall
sayd
,
that
some
of
the
ancient
Fathers
made
a
Comedy
,
which
was
renowned
amongst
the
graue
and
learned
.
Now
if
it
be
a
thing
commendable
in
the
Fathers
,
I
hope
they
will
not
blame
it
in
their
children
,
in
the
number
of
which
I
am
filius
Ecclesie
et
patrum
:
and
especially
when
they
allow
them
in
both
their
Vniuersities
,
and
before
the
Kings
and
Qneenes
Maiestie
;
&
them
allso
made
in
the
scorne
of
those
they
brand
with
the
name
of
Puritans
,
to
the
dishonor
of
their
owne
Christian
profession
,
and
to
the
exposing
of
it
,
in
as
much
as
in
them
lyes
,
to
the
scorne
of
the
aduersaries
,
in
so
much
,
(
if
I
haue
not
heard
amisse
)
that
the
Kings
highnes
and
the
Queene
,
to
their
euerlasting
honours
be
it
spoke
,
were
displeased
with
it
:
and
that
the
Queene
should
say
,
that
if
such
affronts
should
be
put
vpon
their
Religion
in
her
Country
,
they
would
not
be
thought
worthy
to
liue
.
This
I
must
confesse
shewed
a
diuine
goodnes
in
that
most
illustrious
Princesse
,
and
doth
withall
sufficienly
demonstrate
.
,
that
her
Grace
knoweth
what
belongeth
,
a
little
better
to
the
honour
of
Religion
then
our
greater
Masters
.
But
be
it
as
you
suppose
,
as
comicall
as
can
be
imagined
,
though
in
truth
there
be
no
such
thing
,
with
them
and
mature
esteemers
of
things
,
I
hope
it
will
deserue
no
blame
,
If
I
should
play
a
little
vpon
them
,
when
they
make
it
their
dayly
sport
to
fill
not
onely
their
stages
,
Courts
of
Iudicature
,
but
their
very
pulpits
with
playes
,
against
the
most
holyest
Christians
,
yea
the
cheifest
of
all
their
pastimes
are
imployed
in
scorning
,
mocking
,
and
telling
one
filthy
tale
or
other
,
which
of
purpose
they
themselues
haue
inuented
against
them
,
and
all
to
make
them
odious
amongst
all
men
:
and
this
is
their
iournall
practice
,
yea
I
say
they
make
their
very
pulpits
stages
to
disgrace
honest
men
,
and
their
most
holy
profession
,
to
the
infinite
dishonour
of
God
,
and
the
ruine
of
their
brethren
.
I
pray
go
to
the
Court
sermons
,
and
you
shall
see
those
SYCOPHANTS
sometime
bringing
into
their
deskes
Christ
and
the
King
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
Iewes
and
the
Puritans
on
the
other
.
The
King
they
compare
to
Christ
in
all
things
.
The
Puritans
(
as
they
terme
them
)
they
compare
to
the
rebellious
,
disobedient
and
persecuting
Iews
:
putting
a
reed
into
the
Kings
hand
,
in
stead
of
a
Scepter
,
a
crowne
of
thornes
on
his
head
and
the
other
accoutriments
of
scorne
,
vsing
all
maner
of
contumelies
to
his
Royall
Maiestie
,
and
crying
haile
Master
,
when
in
the
meane
time
they
make
but
a
scorne
of
his
highnes
,
neither
regarding
him
,
nor
his
lawes
;
and
yeilding
no
obedience
to
either
.
I
beseech
you
Sir
,
what
is
this
,
but
an
interlude
?
If
this
be
preaching
,
then
Haman
was
a
good
Preacher
:
for
he
preached
as
good
doctrine
as
these
doe
against
the
poore
Iews
,
and
sought
not
onely
the
ruine
of
one
or
some
sew
of
them
,
but
the
destruction
of
them
all
,
as
the
Prelats
and
Preists
of
our
age
now
doe
against
their
innocent
brethren
.
For
my
part
I
must
confesse
,
I
haue
often
gone
out
of
the
kings
chappel
with
admiration
at
the
Kings
most
excellent
goodnes
,
and
that
all
the
honest
men
in
the
kingdome
had
not
long
agoe
been
made
a
prey
to
their
enemyes
desire
:
for
if
one
priuat
man
shall
but
conceiue
a
displeasure
against
an
other
,
or
heare
but
a
sinister
report
of
him
,
that
he
is
not
so
well
affected
to
him
as
he
imagins
,
or
that
he
is
his
enimy
,
there
is
forthwith
,
a
violation
of
freindship
betwene
them
,
and
ueuer
a
true
reconciliation
more
to
be
expected
:
now
if
Kings
had
not
more
heroicall
vertues
in
them
of
wisdome
,
patience
,
clemency
,
and
forbearing
,
and
if
our
gracious
King
were
not
a
Prince
of
surpassing
debonerity
,
we
should
be
as
so
many
sheep
vnto
the
slaughter
,
slaine
all
the
day
long
.
Nay
we
haue
all
cause
to
blesse
God
for
our
Royall
King
,
and
to
pray
for
the
continuation
of
his
life
and
happy
raigne
long
among
vs
,
and
withall
,
that
the
Lord
would
put
it
into
his
royall
breast
,
duely
to
looke
into
the
intentions
of
those
enemyes
of
all
goodnes
.
,
who
ayme
not
at
the
flourishing
of
his
crowne
and
dignity
but
the
ruine
of
it
and
the
true
Religion
,
and
to
bring
in
a
confusion
both
in
Church
and
State
for
the
better
effecting
of
those
devilish
purposes
,
that
no
gunpowder
plot
could
bring
yet
to
passe
.
But
that
we
may
a
little
looke
back
to
this
preachment
of
the
Court
Preists
,
and
the
comedy
in
it
.
Whereas
they
compared
their
bretheren
to
the
rebellious
Iewes
,
I
could
earnestly
desire
,
that
his
Highnes
and
the
Nobility
would
but
seriously
a
little
consider
these
mens
proceedings
and
their
Christian
candor
in
it
,
and
that
they
would
examine
them
▪
by
the
rule
of
truth
and
Iudgement
,
and
then
they
should
well
perceiue
,
that
malice
and
enuy
,
and
not
ripe
and
mature
brotherly
reason
had
dictated
this
calumniating
ventosity
to
them
,
by
which
they
make
themselues
preuaricators
against
God
and
men
.
Let
them
not
therefore
say
,
that
those
they
brand
with
the
name
of
Puritans
,
are
like
the
Iews
,
but
proue
it
.
Wherein
I
pray
haue
they
euer
shewne
their
least
disloyalty
to
his
Maiesty
,
or
plotted
any
thing
against
his
life
or
dignity
or
impeached
his
royalty
in
any
thing
?
has
he
not
their
liues
,
liberty
and
purses
to
the
vttermost
,
yea
aboue
their
abilities
at
his
command
?
doe
they
,
or
euer
did
they
resist
his
royall
authority
in
the
least
thing
nay
in
any
thing
?
do
not
his
seruants
hale
them
to
prison
,
take
away
their
goods
,
driue
away
their
cattle
at
any
time
,
vpon
any
pretence
,
without
the
least
reluctation
▪
Let
dayly
experience
then
&
the
prisons
convince
this
notorious
calumniation
!
wherefore
then
,
are
these
abominable
things
acted
against
them
in
their
pulpits
,
before
King
and
Councell
,
the
whole
Nobility
,
and
flower
of
the
Kingdome
?
I
know
there
is
not
one
of
these
poore
men
,
but
would
spend
their
best
bloud
,
abandon
their
wiues
and
children
,
and
hazard
their
estates
,
yea
all
they
haue
,
for
the
honour
of
his
crowne
and
dignity
,
and
that
most
willingly
,
and
although
they
should
be
trampled
vpon
to
death
,
would
neuer
harbour
a
disloyall
thought
against
his
Soueraignty
;
but
as
Iob
sayd
concerning
God
,
if
the
Lord
kill
mee
I
will
trust
in
him
,
so
I
dare
promise
in
the
person
of
them
all
,
if
the
King
should
conceiue
neuer
so
meanly
of
them
,
and
of
their
allegiance
were
it
to
death
it selfe
,
yet
they
would
a
thousand
times
rather
die
,
before
they
would
be
found
disloyal
in
any
duty
,
that
the
King
by
the
right
of
a
King
,
or
the
lawes
of
his
Kingdome
can
either
expect
or
chalenge
at
their
hands
,
or
by
any
autority
or
Prerogatiue
royall
vindicat
.
How
is
it
them
;
I
say
,
that
these
unworthy
Preists
dare
thus
abuse
the
Kings
royall
eares
,
and
so
honorable
an
audience
with
such
dayly
false
accusations
?
What
a
damnable
hight
of
impiety
are
our
profane
Preists
and
Prelats
come
to
,
to
make
the
pulpit
a
stage
and
place
to
vent
most
seditious
lyes
in
▪
and
those
for
the
incensing
of
the
king
against
his
most
loyall
Subiects
?
and
that
to
make
a
diuision
between
the
head
and
the
members
?
the
vnity
of
which
,
is
not
onely
the
glory
,
but
the
safety
of
a
kingdome
,
which
neuer
florisheth
so
well
,
as
when
there
is
a
sweet
harmony
between
the
king
and
his
people
.
This
is
not
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
who
is
the
king
of
peace
,
but
of
the
deuill
and
Antichrist
,
so
to
preach
.
Looke
vpon
the
first
Sermon
that
euer
was
preached
,
after
the
natiuity
of
Christ
,
by
the
Angel
to
the
shephards
,
it
was
a
sermon
of
ioy
and
Peace
,
and
of
good
tidings
.
Listen
also
the
heauenly
host
,
what
a
sermon
they
made
in
the
theater
of
glory
,
in
their
praysing
of
God
,
and
you
shall
heare
them
saying
,
glory
to
God
in
the
highest
and
on
earth
Peace
,
and
good
will
towards
men
.
And
when
the
disciples
,
like
the
Preists
and
Prelats
of
our
age
before
better
information
would
haue
had
fire
come
downe
from
heaven
to
destroy
those
that
would
not
entertaine
Christ
,
he
sayd
vnto
them
,
you
know
not
of
what
Spirit
you
are
,
teaching
all
his
disciples
euer
after
by
that
Sermon
to
preach
peace
and
good
will
,
and
not
to
incite
to
destruction
,
their
auditors
.
And
indeed
the
Gospell
is
a
message
of
peace
,
and
the
Ministers
of
it
should
teach
peace
and
good
will
,
and
not
warre
,
incensing
and
inflaming
kings
against
their
poore
Subiects
,
and
alienating
the
Subiects
from
their
Soueraigne
Lords
and
Masters
.
Sainct
Tiberne
is
a
fitter
Place
&
pulpet
for
such
Preachers
,
then
the
kings
chappell
.
Neither
can
there
be
any
thing
,
writ
,
spake
,
or
done
too
seuerely
against
such
sowers
of
sedition
,
and
especially
those
that
make
the
pulpit
a
place
of
it
.
The
peace-makers
haue
euer
been
blessed
by
Christs
owne
testimony
;
but
for
such
as
are
cause
of
sedition
oppression
and
warre
in
a
common
wealth
,
they
are
accursed
.
Christ
the
blessed
peace
maker
made
peace
between
God
and
men
.
Moses
his
seruant
,
he
stood
vp
in
the
gap
between
God
and
the
people
,
and
made
an
attonement
for
the
people
.
The
Apostles
likewise
were
all
preachers
of
peace
,
and
so
are
all
their
true
Successors
.
But
our
Preists
and
Prelats
,
they
preach
warre
,
and
make
the
Pulpet
a
place
to
act
their
lying
comedies
in
,
to
the
estranging
of
the
king
from
his
Subiects
,
and
breeding
in
his
royall
heart
sinister
surmises
against
them
,
to
the
wounding
of
the
poore
Subiects
hearts
with
greefe
:
when
they
see
their
King
and
ruler
,
the
breath
of
their
nostrils
,
whom
they
honour
and
loue
better
then
their
liues
,
to
be
alienated
from
them
.
And
that
the
Pecres
and
Nobles
of
the
king
dome
,
should
by
their
diabolicall
preachments
harbour
any
evill
thoughts
of
them
.
This
I
say
wounds
the
poore
Subiects
hearts
,
and
of
all
this
lamentable
misery
are
the
Prelats
&
Preists
the
onely
cause
,
by
their
dayly
acts
in
their
pulpits
.
They
haue
diuerse
parts
in
their
sceane
.
Sometime
they
bring
them
in
,
as
most
dangerous
and
pernicious
enimyes
of
his
Highnes
,
making
them
worse
then
the
powder
plotters
.
And
because
forsooth
there
was
a
man
killed
his
mother
and
his
brother
not
long
since
,
there
must
be
a
booke
printed
,
that
he
was
a
Puritan
,
&
that
he
did
that
facinorous
exploit
,
because
they
would
not
kneele
at
the
Sacrament
and
howsoeuer
there
be
sufficient
witnesses
to
the
contrary
;
yet
that
must
goe
for
current
,
there
must
I
say
be
a
rayling
pamphlet
set
forth
against
the
whole
company
of
those
that
feare
the
Lord
,
as
if
they
were
all
of
the
same
mold
.
But
had
it
been
so
,
that
a
distempered
man
had
perpetrated
so
foule
a
crime
,
through
some
deuillish
temptation
,
that
had
made
profession
of
religion
;
must
it
follow
they
are
all
such
?
Because
Iudas
was
a
Traytor
,
must
all
the
Apostles
be
therefore
condemned
?
Because
one
Courtier
may
be
found
disloyall
to
his
Prince
,
therefore
must
all
the
rest
be
accused
of
the
same
wickednes
?
and
because
one
merchant
may
breake
and
play
the
knaue
,
shall
we
say
that
all
are
such
?
good
reason
will
make
no
such
illation
.
And
yet
this
must
be
acted
and
preached
before
his
Maiestie
and
that
by
a
Prelat
,
that
all
Puritans
are
such
:
and
a
thousand
such
impieties
are
dayly
layd
to
their
charge
.
Yea
what
wickednes
is
there
,
that
they
are
not
dayly
accused
of
to
King
and
Nobles
,
both
priuatly
and
publickly
?
I
haue
heard
many
Sermons
at
the
Court
,
yet
neuer
did
I
heare
any
,
wherein
I
saw
not
the
Puritan
brought
vp
,
with
one
scorne
or
other
,
and
some
notorious
lyes
told
of
them
.
So
that
I
wonder
not
that
those
poore
men
are
thought
so
euilly
of
,
though
a
most
innocent
and
harmles
people
,
as
any
liues
upon
the
earth
.
For
when
the
place
of
God
it self
,
from
whence
truth
should
onely
sound
,
is
made
a
theater
of
lying
and
false
accusations
,
no
wonder
that
the
Kings
Maiesty
and
nobles
of
the
Kingdome
,
haue
a
prejudicat
opinion
of
them
they
call
Puritans
,
when
they
expect
nothing
but
truth
and
veritable
narrations
from
that
place
.
In
my
yonger
dayes
(
that
I
may
in
some
thing
relate
my
owne
condition
)
I
was
bred
in
as
great
a
hatred
of
Puritans
,
as
any
tender
yeares
was
capable
of
,
as
it
is
well
knowne
,
and
thought
those
men
not
worthy
to
liue
,
yet
knew
not
any
of
them
,
(
our
Country
hauing
then
scarce
two
in
it
)
neither
was
there
a
sermon
perhaps
in
halfe
a
yeare
thereabouts
,
and
that
read
out
of
a
paper
booke
,
and
halfe
of
it
commonly
was
rayling
against
the
Puritans
.
But
when
it
pleased
God
that
some
of
those
,
that
spake
euillest
of
them
(
through
surfetting
and
excesse
had
brought
themselues
to
languishing
sicknes
,
and
after
to
death
it selfe
)
I
say
,
when
those
men
,
in
their
greatest
extremities
,
chose
rather
to
trust
them
,
yea
and
to
preferre
them
,
before
there
owne
brethren
and
niest
kins-folks
,
and
bequeath
their
children
&
estats
into
their
hands
,
and
then
being
also
demanded
the
reason
of
such
trust
,
and
confidence
in
them
,
whom
they
had
reputed
the
worst
of
men
before
,
and
most
of
all
traduced
and
hated
,
they
then
openly
declared
themselues
,
and
their
opinion
of
them
,
saying
that
they
were
now
dying
men
,
and
that
it
was
now
time
to
speake
the
truth
,
and
that
they
in
their
harts
beleiued
,
they
were
the
true
seruants
of
the
Lord
,
howsoeuer
despised
and
contemned
in
the
world
,
and
withall
they
desired
that
their
soules
might
goe
the
way
that
theirs
went
.
I
say
when
I
saw
such
a
wonderfull
change
in
these
men
,
who
were
men
many
of
them
,
of
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
in
all
religions
,
and
some
of
them
trauellars
and
courtiers
,
and
that
now
on
their
death
beds
,
they
should
giue
such
an
approbation
and
so
honourable
testimony
of
those
men
,
of
whom
they
had
in
their
prosperity
spoken
so
maliciously
,
I
being
then
of
yeares
of
descretion
,
and
better
able
to
discerne
and
iudge
of
things
that
differ
,
began
more
seriously
to
consider
of
that
matter
,
and
soe
much
the
more
studious
I
was
,
because
I
had
in
some
sort
,
seene
the
vanity
of
all
pleasures
,
hauing
indeed
been
bred
in
nothing
else
.
The
right
way
then
to
find
blessednes
,
was
my
onely
ayme
:
which
through
Gods
speciall
fauour
&
benediction
vpon
my
earnest
endeauours
,
dayly
reading
of
the
word
and
holy
scriptures
,
priuat
duties
.
godly
society
and
frequent
hearing
of
the
word
,
which
is
onely
able
to
saue
our
soules
,
I
found
out
,
to
the
prayse
and
honour
of
his
name
be
it
spoken
.
And
I
then
well
perceiued
,
looking
into
the
liues
and
maners
of
men
,
that
those
that
were
comonly
branded
with
the
name
of
Puritans
,
were
the
happiest
,
and
that
if
any
were
eternally
blessed
,
they
were
such
of
them
as
squared
there
liues
in
sincerity
according
to
their
profession
.
And
least
that
I
might
through
an
ouerweening
conceit
of
some
seeming
blessednes
in
them
,
be
mistaken
;
I
contented
not
my self
with
home
comparing
of
men
and
domesticall
experience
,
but
I
resolued
to
seek
out
still
a
more
excellent
way
if
there
were
any
;
whereupon
I
went
into
forraine
nations
and
liued
among
all
sorts
of
men
,
and
in
the
greatest
Princes
Courts
,
conuersing
among
all
ranks
and
orders
of
them
,
and
that
many
yeares
,
and
amongst
all
professions
,
Courtiers
,
Soldiers
,
Scholars
,
citizens
,
merchants
,
and
among
all
sects
,
of
factions
and
religions
,
and
examining
all
those
in
the
ballance
of
Iudgment
,
I
found
none
in
life
and
death
happy
and
truely
comfortable
,
but
those
that
are
branded
with
the
name
of
Puritans
or
at
least
those
that
liue
and
die
in
their
faith
.
And
for
my
owne
particular
,
to
speake
now
my
conscience
,
I
had
rather
goe
the
way
of
the
meanest
Puritans
that
liue
and
die
according
to
their
profession
,
then
of
the
greatest
Prelats
that
euer
liued
vpon
the
earth
;
and
this
I
speake
in
the
presence
of
God
:
for
of
the
ones
happinesse
I
am
as
sure
as
the
word
of
God
is
sure
,
and
of
the
others
I
can
promise
nothing
,
hee
liuing
in
rebellion
to
God
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
,
and
his
repentance
not
knowne
vnto
mee
.
And
notwith
standing
I
say
all
rhis
,
that
these
are
such
an
holy
people
:
yet
are
they
made
but
the
off-scouring
of
the
world
,
and
of
all
things
,
and
brought
vpon
euery
stage
,
and
into
the
pulpit
,
as
fittest
for
ludibry
by
the
Players
Preists
,
and
Prelats
,
yea
and
in
their
Courts
it
is
enough
to
ruine
a
mans
cause
,
if
his
aduersary
can
but
taint
him
with
the
name
of
a
Puritan
;
but
most
especially
are
they
vilely
abused
by
the
Preists
and
Prelats
in
their
Pulpits
.
Now
I
say
,
if
it
be
lawfull
in
them
,
to
make
playes
of
honest
men
,
and
to
faine
what
they
please
against
them
:
I
pray
let
it
be
lawfull
in
mee
,
in
merriment
to
speake
the
truth
of
them
,
which
as
neare
as
I
can
,
I
will
not
transgresse
.
If
some
shall
say
,
they
haue
not
so
great
traynes
nor
so
much
adoe
in
their
marching
;
I
affirme
,
that
at
all
tymes
,
they
goe
more
like
Princes
,
then
humble
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
Successors
,
of
whom
we
neuer
reade
,
they
came
euer
in
coach
or
on
horseback
,
but
when
Paul
was
mounted
by
autority
;
or
that
they
had
euer
a
seruant
to
attend
them
,
much
lesse
such
pompe
and
state
:
&
yet
one
of
them
conuerted
more
soules
in
one
day
,
then
all
the
Prelats
euer
did
that
euer
I
read
of
:
neither
to
speake
truely
,
haue
I
heard
of
any
they
euer
conuerted
,
but
of
many
thousands
they
haue
confounded
.
But
now
to
the
matter
in
hand
because
one
of
their
abetters
sayd
not
long
since
,
that
they
had
not
such
attendance
as
I
accuse
them
of
.
I
say
,
if
they
haue
lesse
company
one
day
,
they
haue
more
an
other
,
and
whether
they
be
their
owne
or
others
Seruants
,
when
they
are
in
their
Company
,
be
they
the
Nobles
themselues
,
they
are
all
their
attendants
,
and
the
best
of
them
most
hartily
glad
if
by
their
seruice
they
can
please
them
,
and
we
know
it
vsuall
,
that
the
denomination
of
the
retinue
is
alwayes
from
the
greatest
,
and
they
are
sayd
to
be
his
followers
.
And
I
haue
heard
the
pursuiuants
themselues
often
brag
of
the
greatnes
of
their
Masters
attendance
,
and
in
such
ample
maner
,
as
I
thinke
the
Kings
Maiestie
hath
not
commonly
greater
:
and
therefore
that
cannot
be
denyed
,
which
is
dayly
practised
.
And
for
their
Seruants
insolency
I
haue
frequently
both
seene
it
and
felt
it
.
Now
whereas
you
thinke
,
that
it
will
not
be
will
taken
,
that
I
call
Bishops
,
Preists
and
Deacons
Antichrists
little
toes
;
and
in
my
LETANY
desire
deliuerahce
from
them
,
and
withall
seeme
to
accuse
them
of
incontinency
,
all
which
you
thinke
will
be
censured
of
vnad
uisednes
at
least
,
if
not
thought
scandalous
and
punishable
.
To
this
I
answer
,
first
,
that
by
Bishops
,
I
vnderstand
the
Prelats
and
by
Preists
their
owne
creatures
,
a
generation
vnknowne
in
the
Church
of
Christ
:
and
by
Deacons
,
the
vnder
Preists
in
this
Kingdome
,
Officers
of
which
the
Scripture
knoweth
nothing
likewise
.
For
the
Deacons
such
as
the
Churches
chose
,
and
were
allowed
by
the
Apostels
,
they
were
men
of
grauity
,
full
of
Faith
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
men
of
wisdome
and
good
gouerment
and
honesty
,
and
were
the
treasures
of
the
faithfull
and
the
Church
of
God
,
and
distributed
the
liberalityes
of
the
Saints
amongst
the
poore
indigent
and
necessitated
brethren
.
Now
,
I
know
neuer
a
Deacon
in
England
either
guilty
of
any
of
those
Vertues
before
specified
,
or
that
was
euer
imployed
in
that
Office
,
or
was
thought
fit
to
be
trusted
,
with
the
treasury
of
the
poore
,
or
tooke
the
least
care
of
them
,
who
ordinarily
they
trample
vpon
and
most
reprochfully
abuse
with
the
name
of
rascality
.
So
that
such
Deacons
as
I
pray
against
,
are
limbes
of
the
Beast
,
and
the
inferior
order
of
shauelings
,
&
such
as
ought
to
be
spewed
out
of
the
Church
,
as
profitable
for
nothing
but
the
increase
of
wickednes
.
And
for
Bishops
such
as
God
appoynted
I
honour
them
,
and
will
mayntayne
their
dignity
to
the
last
drop
of
my
bloud
,
so
far
I
am
from
praying
against
such
.
Neither
did
I
euer
speake
vnreuerently
against
the
Kings
Bishops
,
and
those
that
were
apoynted
as
an
Order
in
the
State
,
till
they
had
in
their
open
court
renounced
his
authority
,
and
run
themselues
by
that
,
and
many
other
notorious
proceedings
into
a
Praemunire
;
and
so
had
made
themselues
enemyes
of
his
Prerogatiue
royall
,
and
delinquents
against
his
Maiestie
,
and
vnder
his
Highnesses
displeasure
,
as
by
the
Statutes
of
the
Kingdome
they
are
proclamed
to
be
,
and
by
the
defenders
of
their
proceedings
in
their
Ecclesiasticall
Courts
:
who
in
a
booke
set
forth
by
their
common
consent
,
doe
conclude
all
those
in
a
Premunire
,
that
challenge
their
authority
Iure
diuino
,
as
the
Pope
and
clergie
of
Rome
,
which
at
this
time
they
doe
.
And
for
your
better
satisfaction
looke
in
the
Apology
for
proceedings
in
Courts
Ecclesiasticall
(
a
booke
made
by
the
Prelats
owne
creatures
)
and
in
the
first
chapter
,
you
shall
see
all
the
Prelats
by
their
owne
witnes
in
a
Premunire
and
delinquents
against
his
Maiestie
in
a
high
degree
of
contumacy
.
And
truely
I
thinke
there
was
neuer
such
an
affront
put
vpon
regall
dignity
,
as
on
that
day
I
was
censured
;
neuer
such
dishonour
put
vpon
the
Scriptures
,
by
such
as
would
be
thought
Ministers
of
the
word
and
the
Bishops
and
Pastors
of
Christ
:
neither
were
the
scriptures
euer
more
blasphemously
abused
,
than
they
were
at
that
time
in
their
open
assembly
.
I
shall
briefly
therefore
tell
you
that
dayes
work
,
of
which
there
is
a
thousand
witnesses
,
as
also
of
their
impious
words
against
the
most
sacred
word
of
God
and
diuine
oracles
of
holy
writ
,
by
all
which
,
you
will
see
,
I
haue
good
reason
to
call
them
ANTICHRISTS
LITTLE
TOES
,
and
to
pray
against
them
:
for
they
are
as
Disperatly
impious
,
&
equally
to
be
detested
of
all
such
as
truely
feare
the
Lord
and
the
King
:
for
if
wee
compare
them
together
,
there
will
no
disparity
appeare
between
them
,
they
being
euery
way
as
malicious
against
the
word
of
God
and
his
deare
seruants
,
and
as
diametrally
opposing
regality
as
Antichrist
himself
.
But
that
all
things
may
the
more
clearly
be
euidenced
vnto
you
,
let
mee
tell
you
that
dayes
proceedings
.
You
must
take
notice
,
that
howsoeuer
,
they
had
fained
some
triuiall
articles
against
mee
;
they
were
all
by
the
generall
consent
of
the
Court
thought
so
poore
,
as
they
openly
auerred
they
would
not
condemne
mee
for
them
;
&
so
much
the
rather
,
because
those
that
had
sworne
to
them
,
were
proued
to
be
my
capital
enimyes
,
and
also
,
in
their
depositions
to
haue
sworne
point
blanck
one
against
an
other
,
and
like
euill
witnesses
could
not
agree
in
swearing
:
therefore
,
they
onely
condemned
mee
for
my
booke
,
which
I
writ
in
defence
of
the
honor
of
Christ
and
his
Kingdome
,
and
of
the
Kings
most
excellent
Maiesties
prerogatiue
Royall
and
Supremacy
,
against
the
Pope
and
Popish
Bishops
,
prouoked
there
vnto
by
a
Papist
;
to
which
duty
I
was
bound
both
by
the
law
of
God
&
the
law
of
the
land
,
&
my
speciall
oath
,
all
which
I
alleged
at
the
barre
:
&
farthermore
added
that
in
writing
against
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
I
intented
no
such
Bishops
as
acknowledge
their
autority
from
Kings
and
Emperors
,
but
onely
those
Bishops
that
vsurp
autority
ouer
Kings
and
Emperors
and
their
fellow
brethren
and
the
Church
of
God
iure
diuino
,
and
so
I
had
prefaced
in
my
book
,
which
also
I
openly
read
there
.
And
to
speake
the
truth
,
I
looked
for
fauour
and
assistance
in
this
combat
,
from
the
Prelats
;
neuer
suspecting
that
they
would
haue
been
my
enimyes
,
for
this
endeauour
,
especially
I
hauing
also
,
in
that
place
alleged
the
Acts
and
Statutes
establyshed
by
the
publick
consent
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
in
which
it
was
ratified
,
that
the
Prelats
haue
all
their
autority
and
iurisdiction
which
they
now
exercise
,
from
the
King
,
as
immediately
deriued
from
him
,
and
to
affirme
the
contrary
,
is
to
be
ipso
facto
an
enimy
of
his
crowne
and
dignity
.
And
as
the
Prelats
,
were
an
order
established
by
the
King
and
state
,
I
was
so
farre
from
opposing
them
,
that
I
neuer
impeached
their
dignity
in
the
least
thing
in
all
the
booke
;
neither
would
I
euer
haue
medled
with
them
,
if
they
had
kept
that
standing
;
but
they
like
the
euill
Angels
out
of
pride
,
not
keeping
their
first
station
,
BVT
OPENLY
RENOVNCING
THE
KINGS
AVTORITY
,
and
affirming
that
Iesus
Christ
made
them
Bishops
,
and
that
the
holy
Ghost
consecrated
them
,
and
that
they
were
Princes
and
had
their
thrones
and
that
before
Kings
,
and
all
this
iure
diuino
,
by
all
which
they
made
mee
their
enimy
,
they
being
delinquents
against
the
King
.
And
because
I
had
retified
,
whatsoeuer
I
sayd
in
my
booke
by
the
word
of
God
;
they
as
they
had
before
renounced
the
Kings
autority
and
barbarously
reuiled
mee
for
my
paines
,
most
impiously
,
likewise
vilified
the
holy
scripture
,
Saying
in
their
Sessions
,
that
they
looked
for
some
great
matter
in
my
booke
,
finding
mee
so
confident
,
but
more
diligently
reading
of
it
,
they
found
nothing
but
scripture
in
it
,
which
was
the
refuge
of
all
Schismaticks
and
Heriticks
:
and
that
the
Scripture
could
not
be
knowne
to
be
Scripture
,
but
by
the
Fathers
:
nor
distinguished
from
the
Apocriphd
,
but
by
the
Fathers
:
nor
the
meaning
of
the
scripture
could
not
be
knowne
but
by
the
Fathers
,
and
because
the
Fathers
as
they
sayd
,
were
in
their
interpretation
diuerse
from
mee
(
which
notwithstanding
is
not
so
)
therefore
they
condemned
me
.
But
I
pray
are
not
all
these
blasphemous
,
popish
,
and
damnable
assertions
?
could
worse
haue
been
forged
in
the
very
conclaue
of
hell
?
Is
not
this
I
pray
you
to
tell
the
Spirit
of
God
to
his
face
he
lyes
?
&
to
teach
an
other
way
to
heauen
then
by
the
Scripture
?
which
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
sendeth
vs
to
,
and
all
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
as
to
the
instructers
of
the
simple
,
and
able
to
make
the
man
of
God
wise
to
saluation
,
and
perfectly
furnished
to
euery
good
worke
,
and
the
which
the
Holy
Ghost
compares
to
a
guide
and
a
Lanthorne
for
direction
,
and
a
light
to
conduct
vs
in
this
our
pilgrimage
and
peregrination
through
the
errors
of
the
world
,
and
to
keep
our
feet
in
the
paths
of
truth
?
and
with
the
Prelats
this
great
and
glorious
light
,
this
Scripture
must
be
so
obscure
,
as
it
must
be
inferior
to
all
things
,
that
haue
a
power
in
themselues
to
declare
&
demonstrate
their
owne
nature
,
as
fire
to
be
fire
,
gold
to
be
gold
,
light
to
be
light
.
But
the
Scripture
onely
that
can
not
be
knowne
but
by
the
helpe
of
others
,
to
be
the
word
of
God
,
it
cannot
be
the
word
of
God
without
the
Fathers
,
and
their
interpretation
of
them
:
for
the
Scriptures
themselues
they
are
the
onely
refuge
of
Schismaticks
,
the
cause
of
all
errors
,
and
that
that
commeth
confirmed
and
proued
onely
from
Scripture
,
is
euer
to
be
suspected
with
the
Prelats
.
O
BLASPHEMY
,
yea
the
booke
that
hath
nothing
,
but
Scripture
,
must
be
adiudged
to
the
fire
,
and
the
author
of
it
giuen
ouer
to
the
Deuill
,
sined
a
thousand
pounds
,
and
censured
to
pay
the
costs
of
sute
,
and
be
debarred
of
his
practice
,
the
onely
support
left
for
the
releife
of
his
distressed
family
,
to
the
vtter
vndoing
of
him
his
poore
wise
and
children
,
and
all
this
forsooth
because
there
was
nothing
but
Scripture
in
it
.
O
HORRIBLE
impiety
!
The
truth
is
,
howsoeuer
they
seemed
to
condemne
it
;
because
it
had
nothing
but
scripture
that
was
not
the
occasion
,
but
the
very
cause
was
,
because
I
writ
against
the
Pope
Father
Antichrist
such
correspondency
there
is
now
betwene
the
Pope
and
the
Prelats
,
that
one
cannot
write
against
him
,
but
the
Prelats
say
by
and
by
that
they
are
meant
by
it
.
The
Grols
!
You
know
that
among
the
Papists
,
if
any
of
them
,
hold
but
any
one
tenent
of
the
Protestents
,
as
that
there
is
no
Purgatory
,
beside
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
:
or
that
there
are
no
sinnes
in
their
owne
nature
veniall
:
or
that
the
Scripture
is
sufficient
of
it selfe
,
with
out
traditions
:
and
ought
to
be
the
sole
rule
of
life
and
doctrine
and
the
onely
Iudge
of
controuersies
:
or
that
the
Pope
is
not
Christs
Vicar
,
nor
Peters
successor
:
or
that
Christ
is
not
corporally
present
in
the
Sacrament
of
the
altar
as
they
call
it
,
for
any
of
these
assertions
,
or
any
other
of
our
tenents
he
is
forthwith
condemned
for
an
heritick
,
and
burnt
at
a
Stake
,
as
dayly
experience
teacheth
vs
.
Nay
it
is
a
common
thing
amongst
vs
here
in
England
,
let
any
man
hold
but
any
one
tenent
,
of
any
sect
whatsoeuer
,
be
it
as
they
terme
them
,
Brownists
,
Anabaptists
,
Antinomians
,
though
in
all
other
things
he
agree
with
the
Church
as
they
call
it
:
yet
he
is
forthwith
adiudged
&
condemned
for
such
an
one
.
Yea
let
a
man
refuse
but
to
eate
bloud
,
or
Swins
flesh
,
though
in
all
other
things
a
good
Christian
:
by
and
by
they
condemne
him
for
a
Iew
:
I
say
then
,
if
for
any
one
tenent
among
the
Papists
a
man
may
be
condemned
for
an
heretick
,
and
suffer
for
it
:
and
if
by
the
Prelats
likewise
,
for
any
one
opinion
differing
from
them
,
that
same
sect
holdeth
,
one
may
be
iudged
and
condemned
to
extremest
misery
as
a
Brownest
,
Anabaptist
&c.
I
say
then
,
by
farre
more
excellent
reason
,
one
may
conclude
,
that
those
that
hold
so
many
damnable
Popish
opinions
,
and
tenents
as
the
Prelats
doe
,
and
defend
them
in
their
open
Courts
,
that
they
are
Papists
;
and
so
they
are
indeed
and
to
be
detested
.
For
they
mayntayne
and
set
vp
Popery
,
and
Papall
Iurisdiction
,
challenging
their
owne
autority
to
be
iure
deuino
;
and
the
Pope
doth
no
more
.
They
likewise
trample
vpon
the
scriptures
,
as
a
thing
of
nothing
,
accusing
them
of
obscurity
and
imperfection
,
and
will
not
admit
the
Scripture
to
be
Iudge
of
Controuersies
.
The
Pope
does
no
more
.
And
withall
hold
the
Synagogue
of
Rome
to
be
a
true
Church
:
and
not
so
much
,
as
to
haue
had
the
suspition
of
error
in
any
fundamentall
points
of
religion
;
and
all
this
I
say
in
their
open
Court
,
and
the
Pope
doth
no
more
,
to
the
making
of
the
King
and
his
Subiects
all
Schismaticks
and
hereticks
,
to
the
infinit
dishonour
of
God
and
the
King
;
and
to
the
eternall
disgrace
of
King
Iames
of
famous
memory
,
a
Prince
for
knowledge
and
wisdome
the
gratest
that
euer
was
,
saue
Salomon
:
and
for
learning
,
renowned
through
the
extremest
parts
of
the
whole
vniuerse
,
of
whom
I
dare
say
thus
much
as
a
Scholer
,
becanse
I
know
something
in
that
art
:
for
which
I
should
excessiuely
haue
honoured
him
,
had
he
been
but
a
priuat
man
,
much
more
a
King
,
and
withall
,
my
Soueraygne
,
whose
dignyty
I
will
neuer
see
trampled
ypon
,
though
I
suffer
for
my
loyalty
the
whole
fury
of
the
Prelats
and
their
Confederats
.
I
say
therefore
I
dare
say
thus
much
of
that
renowned
King
,
that
for
learning
&
Scholarship
,
all
the
Prelats
in
England
shouelled
into
one
heape
,
or
plastered
together
into
one
lump
,
are
not
worthy
to
be
named
the
same
yeare
that
his
excrements
are
mentioned
:
and
yet
notwithstanding
,
these
vnworthy
fellowes
,
do
not
cease
in
their
open
Courts
,
and
in
euery
stinking
pamphlet
set
forth
by
their
autority
to
abuse
this
famous
King
:
WHO
IN
HIS
APOLOGY
,
TO
ALL
CHRISTIAN
PRINCES
(
which
is
well
knowne
to
the
learned
)
as
defender
of
the
faith
,
maintaynes
the
doctrine
of
the
reformed
Churches
in
his
Kingdomes
,
and
dominions
,
to
be
the
onely
true
doctrine
:
&
the
Popish
to
be
erronious
and
abominable
:
and
with
inuencible
arguments
,
and
that
many
,
he
proues
the
Pope
to
be
Antichrist
;
and
exhorts
all
Christian
Kings
and
Princes
his
brethren
to
cast
off
his
yoake
:
demonstrateth
likewise
yea
euidently
euinceth
,
that
Rome
is
the
whore
of
Babilon
:
and
in
many
of
his
learned
writings
,
he
continually
,
like
himself
a
defender
of
the
faith
,
opposeth
all
the
Romish
impious
tenents
.
And
all
that
I
now
say
is
well
knowne
to
all
men
of
vnderstanding
.
Now
I
pray
take
notice
of
the
PRELAT
OF
CANTFRBVRYS
ARROGANCY
,
and
of
all
his
fellowes
.
The
King
as
defender
of
the
farth
,
teaching
vs
both
by
his
life
,
and
doctrine
maintaines
and
proues
,
THE
POPE
TO
BE
ANTICHRIST
,
AND
THF
CHVRCH
OF
ROMF
TO
BE
THE
WHORE
OF
BABILON
,
and
earnestly
exhorts
all
Christian
Princes
to
come
out
of
her
.
And
the
Prelats
in
their
Court
,
affirme
that
the
Church
of
Rome
is
a
true
Church
,
and
neuer
had
so
much
as
a
suspition
of
error
in
fundamentall
poynts
of
religion
;
and
in
putrid
pamphlets
set
forth
by
their
autority
they
confirme
the
same
,
and
that
the
Pope
is
not
Antichrist
.
Is
not
this
damnable
impiety
against
God
and
the
King
,
&
preiudiciall
to
the
saluation
of
thousands
,
&
the
maintenance
of
the
Papists
in
their
diabolycall
doctrins
,
and
the
making
of
many
poore
people
at
their
wits
end
,
not
knowing
which
way
now
to
take
,
for
the
sauing
of
their
soules
?
and
withall
yeilds
and
ministers
(
to
my
knowledg
)
many
arguments
vnto
the
Preists
and
Iesuits
of
seducing
the
Kings
Subiects
and
to
peruert
and
mislead
the
people
;
and
keeping
of
the
seduced
in
error
and
disloyalty
to
their
King
:
when
they
shall
heare
our
Fathers
the
Prelats
to
proclayme
the
synagogne
of
Satan
Rome
it self
to
be
the
true
Chuth
and
that
she
neuer
had
so
much
in
her
,
as
the
appearance
of
error
and
that
saluation
may
be
found
and
had
in
it
.
And
yet
royall
and
learned
KING
IAMES
ABSOLVTELY
ASSEVERS
,
NAY
VNANSWERABLY
PROVETH
,
THAT
THE
POPE
is
ANTICHRIST
,
AND
ROME
THE
WHORF
OF
BABILON
,
AND
that
SALVATION
CANNOT
BE
HAD
IN
THAT
CHVRCH
:
and
in
the
same
faith
he
liued
and
dyed
:
and
in
the
same
our
gracious
King
Charles
was
bred
and
educated
,
and
hath
in
two
seuerall
declarations
after
the
39.
Articles
:
&
of
the
dissolution
of
the
Parlament
pag.
21
,
24
,
Protested
before
God
and
all
his
Subiects
,
that
he
would
neuer
giue
any
way
,
to
the
licencing
or
autorising
of
any
thing
,
whereby
any
innouation
in
the
least
degree
may
creep
into
our
Church
:
nor
euer
conniue
at
any
back
sliding
to
Popery
.
And
that
it
is
his
hearts
desire
to
be
found
worthy
of
that
title
,
which
he
esteemeth
to
be
most
glorious
in
all
his
crowne
,
Defender
of
the
faith
.
Here
the
King
protests
he
is
of
the
same
faith
his
father
was
,
&
defender
of
the
same
,
and
that
he
will
neuer
licence
,
nor
autorize
any
thing
that
tends
to
innouation
,
nor
neuer
conniue
at
any
backsliding
to
Popery
.
And
who
is
he
,
worthy
the
name
of
a
Subiect
,
that
will
not
take
his
royall
word
?
by
which
he
hath
declared
himself
to
be
of
his
royall
fathers
faith
,
and
a
defender
of
the
same
:
and
that
was
that
the
Pope
was
Antichrist
and
the
Church
of
Rome
the
whore
of
Babilon
.
And
yet
the
Prelats
and
their
complices
,
that
vermin
,
to
the
deshonour
of
both
these
famous
Kings
their
Lords
and
Maisters
teach
the
contrary
,
and
punish
those
seuerely
that
defend
and
mayntaine
the
same
faith
,
they
professe
themselues
protectors
and
defenders
of
,
trampling
vpon
regall
dignity
in
their
Courts
,
and
abusing
Princely
clemency
.
It
is
worth
the
looking
on
,
to
see
,
the
pride
of
the
Prelats
,
in
setting
the
Kings
picture
ouer
their
dresser
,
in
the
high
Commission
Court
;
for
,
they
haue
placed
his
Highnes
standing
,
with
his
hat
of
before
their
worships
,
like
a
delinquent
;
his
Crowne
and
scepter
layed
low
,
as
the
poore
Emperors
and
Kings
were
wont
to
stand
before
his
impiety
,
the
Pope
,
when
they
were
cited
to
his
Courts
,
of
which
storyes
,
you
may
reade
many
in
KING
IAMES
HIS
APOLOGY
,
to
goe
no
farther
;
and
in
this
very
maner
,
haue
they
set
vp
the
portrait
of
our
renowned
King
.
And
the
very
intrinsecall
marry
bone
of
the
matter
is
,
they
trample
vpon
his
imperiall
dignity
,
while
they
seeme
to
honour
him
,
with
whom
they
make
themselues
in
the
meane
time
checkmates
:
for
they
say
,
they
were
before
Christian
Kings
,
and
had
their
thrones
,
and
that
they
were
not
beholding
to
him
for
their
honour
and
dignity
of
Episcopality
,
for
they
were
iure
diuino
,
that
they
were
.
Now
,
what
is
it
to
trample
vpon
the
Kings
Crowne
and
Royalty
,
&
stamp
his
lawes
vnder
their
feet
,
and
to
backslide
to
Popery
,
and
to
bring
in
innouation
,
if
this
be
not
?
But
concerning
innouation
afterwards
.
In
the
meane
time
,
by
these
damnable
proceedings
,
they
manifest
sufficiently
,
that
they
are
Antichrists
litle
toes
:
for
they
are
very
Popes
themselues
;
and
whatsoeuer
can
be
sayd
of
the
Pope
,
may
be
spoke
of
them
.
I
will
therefore
,
for
the
more
cleare
elucidation
of
this
matter
,
in
a
few
things
breifly
here
compare
them
together
.
For
howsoeuer
one
may
be
a
greater
Pope
then
an
other
:
as
one
King
may
be
greater
then
an
other
:
yet
they
are
all
Popes
,
and
pernicious
enimyes
,
to
God
,
the
King
,
and
the
whole
Church
of
God
.
But
now
to
the
matter
.
The
Pope
writeth
himself
Father
,
so
do
they
write
themselues
reuerend
Fathers
.
The
Pope
sells
sin
for
mony
,
so
do
they
,
as
the
whole
kingdome
,
and
their
Officers
can
well
tell
;
and
doth
nothing
without
mony
,
so
doe
they
.
The
Pope
forbiddeth
marriage
and
meats
,
and
which
Paul
calleth
the
doctrine
of
deuills
,
so
doe
they
in
the
same
maner
,
whatsoeuer
they
pretend
.
The
Pope
commandeth
superstitious
idoll
dayes
to
be
kept
and
obserued
,
contrary
to
the
commandements
of
God
,
and
punisheth
the
neglect
of
his
Commands
more
seuerely
then
the
breach
of
the
waightiest
lawes
of
God
:
so
do
the
Prelats
;
as
their
Courts
can
witnes
:
yea
and
command
men
and
compell
them
as
the
Pope
himself
,
to
breake
the
commandements
of
God
to
obserue
vaine
and
impious
traditions
.
The
Pope
selleth
Licences
for
meats
and
mariage
,
the
Prelats
doe
the
same
.
The
Pope
selleth
nonresidences
,
pluralityes
,
trialityes
,
totquots
,
the
Prelats
doe
the
same
,
to
the
staruing
and
ruining
of
the
soules
of
men
.
The
Pope
,
ruleth
and
gouerneth
the
Church
,
by
the
cursed
Canon
law
,
and
Popish
excommunications
,
the
scalding
house
of
conscience
,
the
Prelats
doe
the
very
same
;
and
the
breach
of
their
stinkingest
Canons
,
is
more
deeply
punished
in
their
Courts
,
then
the
violation
of
all
the
lawes
of
God
and
the
King
.
The
Pope
preferreth
his
Ceremonyes
,
and
traditions
aboue
the
word
of
God
.
The
Prelats
doe
the
same
,
as
dayly
experience
teacheth
vs
.
The
Pope
maketh
his
Seruants
or
Preists
by
his
owne
power
,
without
the
consent
of
the
people
,
and
intrudeth
them
vpon
the
congregations
without
either
their
knowledge
or
liking
,
the
Prelats
doe
the
same
.
The
Pope
percecuteth
all
godly
Preachers
and
people
,
that
preach
the
Gospell
in
the
purity
of
it
,
and
desire
in
sincerity
to
serue
the
Lord
,
and
would
bring
their
brethren
to
the
knowledge
of
the
same
,
and
to
the
purity
and
truth
of
the
Apostolicall
Churches
:
the
Prelates
doe
the
like
;
as
the
whole
Kingdome
knoweth
well
,
and
the
gaoles
and
prisons
dayly
witnes
and
the
silencing
of
so
many
learned
and
painfull
Ministers
.
The
Pope
appoynts
his
Preists
to
stand
at
the
altar
with
the
Deacon
apperrelled
with
his
foppish
and
player-like
accutriments
,
those
Babylonish
garments
,
and
to
cry
out
Dominus
vobiscum
,
the
Deacon
and
Subdeacon
with
all
the
rest
of
Baals
Preists
answering
him
as
lowd
as
they
can
;
the
Bishops
doe
the
same
,
sauing
onely
that
it
is
in
English
.
The
Pope
commandeth
adoration
at
the
Sacrament
,
crossing
of
children
in
baptisme
,
demanding
of
the
new-borne
babes
,
if
they
will
forsake
the
Deuill
and
all
his
works
&c
and
esteemeth
the
Font
more
holy
then
other
places
;
inioyneth
likewise
purifying
of
women
,
and
a
thousand
such
like
costly
and
chargable
vanities
which
were
tedious
to
relate
:
and
all
these
and
more
then
these
doe
the
Prelats
in
like
maner
,
in
all
which
,
their
Antichristian
autority
with
their
Popish
practices
are
sufficiently
manifest
:
so
that
there
is
little
or
no
difference
betweene
Pope
and
Prelats
.
And
all
autority
of
doing
this
,
they
arrogat
vnto
themselues
iure
deuino
.
Limbes
therefore
they
are
of
Antichrist
,
from
whom
doctor
Pocklington
gloryes
,
that
they
are
lineally
discended
,
in
his
impious
pamphlet
Sunday
no
Sabbath
,
pag:
2
,
and
44.
And
if
it
be
so
,
that
they
be
lineally
descended
from
that
good
race
,
we
may
neuer
promise
vnto
our selues
,
any
comfort
from
them
:
or
to
the
King
or
Kingdome
true
peace
and
security
:
but
may
iustly
looke
for
miseryes
one
after
an
other
,
and
extreme
calamityes
.
For
King
Iames
sayes
of
that
generation
,
that
they
are
the
frogs
that
came
out
of
the
bottemles
pit
,
and
are
of
the
nature
of
amphibia
,
that
liue
in
the
water
and
vpon
the
earth
,
seeming
to
be
Church
men
,
and
yet
are
intermedling
with
States
affayres
,
and
indeed
troubling
the
whole
world
,
and
all
common-wealths
where
they
dwell
,
or
haue
any
place
and
authority
,
as
all
the
Christian
world
can
witnes
,
which
is
now
drowned
in
bloud
,
that
they
haue
been
the
onely
originall
of
:
and
such
a
gender
of
filth
that
great
frog
left
behind
him
here
when
he
was
droue
away
,
that
there
hath
such
a
brood
ofstinking
polwigs
rose
from
that
,
as
euer
since
,
the
very
earth
and
aire
hath
been
so
putrified
with
them
,
and
the
very
fountaines
of
liuing
water
so
corrupted
,
as
Egypt
it selfe
was
not
more
stinched
with
the
noysomenes
of
them
then
we
haue
been
with
the
continuall
bane
of
these
in
our
nostrils
,
insomuch
that
they
are
now
lothsome
to
God
&
men
and
dangerous
to
vs
all
.
So
that
the
duty
I
beare
to
my
Soueraigne
Lord
the
King
,
and
the
loue
I
haue
to
the
happy
flourishing
of
this
Kingdome
and
the
good
of
the
Church
,
hath
made
mee
cast
away
all
feare
,
and
speake
the
truth
,
which
when
I
doe
,
I
cannot
but
say
,
the
Prelats
are
the
most
wicked
,
prophane
and
vnconscionable
men
that
liue
vpon
the
earth
,
and
inferior
to
the
Pope
in
no
impiety
,
but
rather
transcending
him
,
in
regard
of
their
knowledge
,
which
the
Pope
wanteth
,
and
also
in
that
he
neuer
yet
forced
any
man
to
prophane
the
Lords
day
which
they
doe
:
But
more
of
this
afterwards
in
our
farther
paragonating
of
them
together
.
And
truely
in
regard
of
what
King
Iames
hath
taught
his
subiects
in
his
diuerse
books
&
writings
and
of
our
gracious
King
his
Declarations
,
that
he
will
neuer
autorize
any
thing
that
tendeth
to
innovation
in
the
least
degree
,
I
cannot
but
from
my
soule
detest
the
Prelats
,
as
the
greatest
innovaters
that
euer
were
in
the
world
,
of
which
practises
all
men
know
the
danger
,
as
that
they
haue
many
times
been
fatall
to
Kingdomes
and
Republicks
,
and
euer
perillous
,
if
they
were
not
from
worse
to
better
,
which
then
all
reason
doth
allow
of
.
And
therefore
it
hath
euer
been
so
stricktly
looked
to
in
all
Countries
,
&
prouided
so
against
by
as
many
Statutes
and
decrees
and
wayes
of
punishment
as
by
the
wit
of
man
could
be
deuised
,
and
especially
in
this
Kingdome
singular
care
was
had
by
the
Gouerners
,
and
whole
State
,
that
all
occasions
of
revolting
back
againe
to
Popery
might
be
prevented
,
&
euen
as
the
Lord
himselfe
once
tooke
order
,
by
many
caueats
to
the
people
of
Israel
,
and
by
speciall
prohibitions
charged
them
not
to
returne
into
Egypt
,
for
he
knew
well
,
they
had
still
a
lingering
after
the
flesh-pots
&
Onions
,
so
I
say
,
our
rulers
and
the
whole
common
wealth
assenting
vnto
them
(
as
if
the
Statutes
and
records
be
searched
you
shall
find
)
had
such
a
provident
care
neuer
to
returne
backe
againe
to
that
Romish
Egypt
,
that
there
was
speciall
order
taken
,
not
onely
about
greater
matters
,
but
euen
about
thy
very
standing
of
the
Communion
table
,
and
it
was
by
publick
consent
appoynted
to
be
placed
in
the
middest
of
the
Church
,
that
euery
one
might
see
the
whole
administration
of
the
Sacrament
and
the
actions
about
it
:
And
order
likewise
was
taken
,
that
alters
should
be
beat
downe
and
remoued
out
of
all
Churches
.
But
in
this
Age
,
tables
are
turned
againe
into
Altars
in
many
places
,
and
set
alterwise
euery
where
,
a
new
way
of
vshering
in
Popery
being
now
found
out
.
And
howsoeuer
by
the
same
wisdome
,
and
common
consent
,
and
speciall
statutes
and
lawes
it
was
ordered
,
that
no
autority
Ecclesiasticall
should
be
exercised
in
the
Kings
dominions
in
their
owne
names
,
nor
no
Courts
held
but
by
the
Kings
sole
autority
,
and
all
this
for
preuention
of
backsliding
to
Popery
:
yet
the
Prelats
against
these
speciall
decrees
and
statutes
,
keepe
Courts
make
sommons
,
and
alter
all
things
by
their
owne
autority
,
as
if
they
were
absolute
Princes
,
&
without
any
dependency
,
to
the
infinit
dishonor
of
his
Maiestie
,
the
molestation
of
his
subiects
▪
and
troubling
of
the
Church
of
God
.
And
howsoeuer
,
it
was
decreed
that
all
those
,
that
should
iure
diuino
challenge
a
superintendency
in
the
Church
aboue
their
brethren
,
were
ipso
facto
in
a
Praemunire
and
under
the
Kings
indignation
and
high
displeasure
:
yet
the
Prelats
in
their
open
Courts
do
challenge
their
jurisdiction
and
autority
iure
diuino
,
and
punish
those
with
seuere
censures
that
deny
it
.
And
howsoeuer
I
say
againe
there
are
many
more
statutes
,
yet
in
force
,
that
prouide
against
innouations
,
with
the
Kings
declarations
,
yet
our
Prelats
violating
them
all
,
dayly
bring
in
innouation
,
not
onely
to
the
troubling
of
the
Kings
best
subiects
,
but
to
the
putting
of
them
to
infinite
expenses
in
the
execution
of
them
,
and
for
the
bringing-in
againe
of
Popery
and
superstition
and
all
abomination
,
and
in
as
much
as
in
them
lyes
to
the
ruining
of
this
flourishing
monarchy
and
kingdome
.
All
which
wicked
proceedings
,
with
the
bringers
of
them
in
,
we
ought
to
detest
,
as
we
feare
God
and
the
King
,
if
we
will
listen
vnto
Solomon
,
who
in
the
24.
of
the
Prov:
ver.
21.
22.
thus
sayth
.
My
Son
feare
thou
the
Lord
and
the
King
,
and
medle
not
with
them
,
that
are
giuen
to
change
for
their
calamity
shall
rise
sodainly
,
and
who
knoweth
the
ruine
of
them
both
.
So
that
we
see
,
both
diuine
and
human
wisdome
,
haue
allwayes
prouided
against
changes
and
innouations
:
as
being
most
dangerous
and
perillous
to
a
state
and
that
made
our
gratious
King
in
his
declarations
set
forth
his
mind
so
clearly
as
that
he
would
no
way
allow
of
it
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
the
Prelats
are
mightily
taken
vp
with
noueltyes
and
innouations
,
so
as
they
haue
troubled
the
whole
realme
by
them
,
ruined
and
trust
out
all
the
most
painfull
and
diligent
Ministers
,
to
the
vtter
vndoing
of
them
,
their
poore
wiues
and
children
,
and
the
staruing
of
the
soules
of
the
people
,
and
the
perishing
of
multitudes
of
families
of
those
good
subiects
,
that
durst
not
meddle
with
them
in
their
dangerous
and
deuillish
proceedings
,
and
made
many
thousands
fly
the
country
,
and
more
ready
to
depart
,
not
knowing
where
to
liue
free
&
quietly
for
them
in
the
whole
kingdome
.
And
it
is
now
come
to
passe
according
to
that
of
Salomon
Prov.
30
ver.
21.
For
three
things
the
earth
is
disquieted
,
and
for
foure
,
it
cannot
beare
,
for
a
seruant
when
he
raigneth
,
and
a
foole
when
he
is
filled
with
meat
&c.
So
that
the
domineering
of
seruants
hath
euer
been
the
disquieting
of
the
whole
land
where
they
are
:
for
when
they
are
filled
with
meat
,
like
the
euill
seruant
in
the
Gospell
,
because
his
Master
delayed
his
comming
,
fell
a
eating
and
a
drinking
and
then
a
beating
his
fellow
seruants
:
euen
so
the
Prelats
they
liue
of
the
fat
of
the
earth
,
pamper
and
cram
themselues
,
faring
deliciously
euery
day
,
and
then
they
fall
a
beating
of
vs
their
fellow
seruants
,
and
vse
vs
most
vnhumanly
,
more
like
beasts
then
men
;
and
this
is
and
hath
been
the
very
practice
of
Antichrist
,
which
they
now
take
vp
:
and
therefore
in
all
these
respects
I
may
safely
conclude
they
are
limbs
of
the
beast
and
none
of
Christs
Ministers
nor
the
Apostles
successors
,
but
the
very
ofspring
of
Antichrist
,
and
according
to
Poclington
lineally
descended
from
him
:
which
if
you
would
please
with
a
more
serious
deliberation
to
waigh
,
and
parallel
the
Popes
and
their
proceedings
a
little
more
narrowly
together
,
it
would
yet
more
euidently
appeare
:
such
a
sweet
harmony
you
shall
find
between
them
in
all
things
.
Let
vs
looke
therefore
vpon
the
charge
,
that
Christ
in
the
last
of
Mathew
gaue
vnto
his
disclipes
,
and
in
them
to
all
succeeding
Ministers
of
the
Gospell
Ver.
19.
20.
Goe
therefore
(
sayth
hee
)
and
teach
all
nation
baptising
them
in
the
name
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
Teaching
them
to
obserue
all
things
whatsoeuer
I
haue
commanded
you
:
and
lo
I
am
with
you
alwayes
:
euen
vnto
the
end
of
the
world
.
Here
then
we
see
the
whole
office
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
is
to
teach
and
administer
the
Sacraments
,
not
to
domineir
ouer
their
brethren
.
Secondly
the
restriction
and
limitation
of
his
Ministers
teaching
.
They
must
not
teach
the
people
what
they
list
:
but
they
must
teach
to
obserue
all
things
whatsoeuer
Christ
commaunds
,
and
nothing
else
,
not
their
owne
phantisies
and
foppist
superstitions
,
and
vaine
and
idle
ceremonyes
.
And
thirdly
for
their
comfort
in
so
doing
and
teaching
,
he
promiseth
vnto
them
his
perpetuall
assistance
and
blessing
,
and
that
euen
to
the
end
of
the
world
.
I
pray
let
vs
now
se
,
whether
the
Pope
or
Prelats
haue
learned
this
lesson
well
or
no
,
&
whether
they
haue
imitated
the
Apostles
in
so
teaching
-
All
Christs
true
Ministers
are
teachers
,
no
Lords
nor
beaters
,
euer
carefull
to
dispense
vnto
the
people
committed
to
their
charge
,
the
food
of
their
soules
,
the
word
and
Sacraments
,
they
goe
and
teach
all
Nations
.
The
Pope
and
Prelats
they
goe
beat
and
silence
all
Nations
:
they
will
neither
teach
themselues
,
nor
will
let
others
teach
.
And
this
is
their
dayly
practice
,
as
the
whole
world
knoweth
well
.
Neither
can
the
Pope
or
Prelats
deny
it
.
Are
not
these
therefore
Antichrist
little
toes
;
and
to
be
prayed
against
thinke
you
?
but
not
to
speake
now
more
of
that
.
Now
come
to
the
limitation
or
restriction
.
All
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
teach
the
people
to
obserue
that
onely
which
he
hath
commanded
,
neither
ought
they
to
teach
otherwise
:
or
the
people
to
heare
or
obserue
otherwise
,
though
an
angell
from
heauen
should
bring
it
:
for
they
haue
all
a
speciall
command
not
to
be
wise
aboue
that
which
is
written
,
and
not
to
preach
a
diuerse
doctrine
to
that
they
haue
been
taught
.
And
in
the
2.
of
the
Colossians
the
apostle
is
very
large
in
instructing
them
to
beware
of
all
will
worship
,
and
to
take
heed
of
all
such
as
vnder
the
pretence
of
deuotion
,
intrude
vpon
the
people
their
owne
superstitious
inuentions
in
the
worship
and
seruice
of
God
.
And
the
same
Apostle
warnes
the
Corinthians
,
that
in
Gods
worship
they
should
not
become
the
seruants
of
men
,
who
ought
not
to
prescribe
how
to
serue
God
:
in
regard
,
that
hee
himself
by
Moses
,
the
Prophets
,
and
in
these
last
dayes
,
by
his
sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
hath
fully
taught
vs
how
to
worship
him
.
And
Christ
himself
,
rebuked
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
for
bringing
their
owne
deuices
into
his
Seruice
,
openly
teaching
all
his
auditors
,
that
those
serue
him
in
vaine
that
worship
him
after
the
precepts
of
men
:
and
for
our
derection
sends
them
vnto
the
word
,
saying
,
search
the
Scriptures
for
they
testify
of
mee
,
and
in
them
you
thinke
to
haue
eternall
life
.
And
this
word
Paul
commands
,
should
dwell
plentifully
in
vs
,
and
sayes
that
if
we
walk
according
to
the
rule
of
that
,
the
peace
of
God
shall
be
with
vs
:
and
Saint
Peter
for
our
comfort
,
bids
all
Christians
haue
recourse
to
it
,
for
it
is
a
light
to
guide
vs
through
the
darkest
errors
of
this
world
.
And
saint
Paul
,
Ephesians
4
,
ver:
11.
12
,
13.
14.
setting
downe
the
reason
and
end
why
Christ
gaue
some
Apostles
,
some
Prophets
some
Euangelists
,
some
Pastors
and
teachers
,
saith
,
that
we
henceforth
be
no
more
children
tossed
to
and
fro
,
and
carried
about
with
euery
wind
of
doctrine
,
by
the
slight
of
men
,
and
cunning
craftiness
,
whereby
they
lie
in
wait
to
deceiue
.
By
which
place
,
it
is
sufficiently
manifest
,
that
they
haue
giuen
and
left
vnto
the
Church
a
sufficient
rule
of
direction
to
be
guided
by
,
and
that
to
swarue
from
it
,
is
to
be
like
little
children
tossed
to
and
fro
.
Now
then
,
if
Moses
,
the
Prophets
,
Christ
and
his
Apostles
commands
be
to
be
obeyed
,
Ministers
and
people
are
the
one
to
teach
,
and
the
other
to
heare
and
obserue
nothing
,
but
what
Christ
commands
;
and
either
to
teach
or
to
obey
contrary
,
is
open
rebellion
against
God
,
and
pernicious
to
them
both
.
This
you
see
is
the
restriction
.
The
word
and
command
of
Christ
must
be
the
rule
,
and
nothing
els
.
Yea
an
angell
from
heauen
is
not
to
be
heard
,
teaching
otherwise
:
nor
one
rising
from
the
dead
.
Abraham
sends
them
to
Moses
and
the
Prophets
:
the
word
of
God
:
and
that
onely
is
able
to
saue
our
soules
:
and
that
onely
must
be
the
rule
of
teaching
and
obeying
.
Now
I
pray
to
leaue
the
Pope
a
little
to
come
nigher
home
.
Heare
the
Prelats
teach
and
their
shauelings
,
when
they
preach
euen
in
the
Court
it selfe
?
S●imme
of
first
the
froth
of
human
wit
,
I
meane
their
vaine
and
vnprofitable
florishes
▪
take
away
their
superstition
and
will
worship
taught
there
,
to
say
nothing
of
Popery
,
Arminianisme
,
and
Libertinisme
.
Pare
away
their
raylings
against
the
power
and
life
of
religion
,
and
the
generation
of
the
just
.
Remoue
also
,
the
flattery
of
them
,
not
far
many
times
from
blasphemy
,
and
able
to
bring
a
curse
rather
then
a
blessing
vpon
our
gratious
King
.
I
say
remoue
all
these
things
away
:
and
you
shall
see
that
very
little
of
the
word
,
will
be
found
and
the
commands
of
Christ
,
in
their
teaching
or
any
thing
that
tends
to
soules
conuersion
,
the
reprouing
of
vice
,
and
beating
downe
of
sinne
,
or
building
vp
of
men
in
their
most
holy
Faith
,
or
for
the
more
enabling
them
to
the
true
worship
of
God
,
or
for
the
leading
of
a
pious
life
.
And
to
say
no
more
of
them
,
looke
through
the
whole
Kingdome
,
and
in
most
places
you
shall
find
no
sermons
at
all
,
but
deuised
seruice
set
vp
in
place
of
preaching
,
an
absolute
neglect
,
yea
contempt
of
Christs
command
who
sayes
Goe
preach
or
teach
:
they
say
goe
say
Seruice
and
read
prayers
.
Insomuch
,
that
Cholmny
a
Patron
of
Rome
writing
in
defence
of
that
Synagouge
,
against
learned
and
reuerend
Maister
Henry
Burton
:
who
in
his
answer
to
him
againe
,
Babell
no
Bethel
,
gaue
her
such
a
blow
,
and
so
coniured
downe
that
Cacodemon
,
that
Cobler
and
tinker
of
Babell
,
that
she
will
neuer
be
able
to
outgrow
it
,
nor
he
to
rise
againe
or
put
pen
to
paper
,
I
say
Cholmny
,
in
the
magnification
of
the
goodnes
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
setting
downe
her
priuileges
,
affirmes
that
she
was
better
prouided
for
of
teachers
and
for
preaching
then
the
people
of
Wales
here
among
vs
.
A
fine
commendations
I
promise
you
of
England
.
But
let
this
by
the
by
be
spoke
to
the
immortall
honour
of
our
Prelats
,
that
haue
silenced
all
the
preaching
Ministers
in
those
parts
&
diuerse
other
:
&
he
that
sayd
this
may
be
beleued
,
for
he
was
one
of
the
Prelats
Sychophants
.
Lamentable
it
is
I
say
,
to
see
through
the
whole
Kingdome
how
little
teaching
there
is
.
But
I
pray
when
they
teach
,
what
teach
they
?
they
teach
for
the
most
part
,
prophanation
of
the
Lords
day
,
Arminianisme
,
obedience
to
the
Church
falsly
so
called
,
human
traditions
,
obseruation
of
idle
dayes
and
times
,
setting
vp
of
Organs
and
piping
,
abstinence
from
meats
and
marriage
,
whisten
ales
and
May
games
,
Festiual
times
,
the
observation
of
ceremonyes
and
the
canons
af
the
Prelats
,
to
bow
and
cap
and
make
a
curtsy
at
the
name
letters
and
Syllables
of
Iesus
,
to
crouch
to
the
altar
,
and
cringe
to
the
Communion
table
,
to
turne
their
faces
to
the
East
,
to
stand
at
the
Creed
and
Gospell
,
to
kneele
at
the
reading
of
the
ten
commandements
,
to
take
notice
of
all
those
that
pisse
against
Churches
,
and
that
carry
any
burdens
through
them
,
and
to
present
them
,
to
beat
downe
the
pews
and
stooles
to
make
way
to
se
the
altars
,
to
come
vp
with
reuerence
to
the
cage
and
to
worship
the
bread
and
wine
,
to
set
the
table
altarwise
to
see
their
children
be
signed
with
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
,
and
that
women
come
in
decent
carchets
when
they
are
Churched
,
that
the
Surplice
be
cleanly
and
neatly
whashed
,
and
that
it
be
dayly
put
on
,
as
also
the
whood
,
that
they
marry
with
the
ring
,
and
that
they
be
all
reverently
vncouered
in
the
Church
that
holy
place
,
and
that
they
leane
not
on
the
Comunion
table
,
nor
write
on
it
,
nor
lay
their
hats
nor
books
on
it
,
and
a
thousand
such
like
fopperies
and
vaine
inuentions
are
there
vrged
vpon
the
people
,
all
which
things
notwithstanding
Christ
neuer
commanded
,
and
yet
they
are
more
strictly
preached
and
vehemently
insisted
vpon
,
and
vrged
,
then
the
obseruation
of
any
of
Gods
commandements
,
or
of
any
holsome
or
sauing
doctrine
,
and
to
speake
the
truth
,
most
of
their
preachments
are
about
these
fooleries
,
which
Christ
sent
them
not
about
:
and
it
is
well
knowne
,
that
the
neglect
of
the
meanest
of
these
idle
ceremonies
,
is
more
seuerely
punished
in
Minister
&
people
,
in
their
Courts
,
then
the
preuarication
of
the
whole
law
,
as
by
woefull
and
dayly
experience
we
are
taught
.
Neither
can
any
man
deny
what
I
say
to
be
true
.
So
that
religion
now
consists
in
nothing
,
but
in
ceremonies
,
outward
obseruations
,
munchy
tricks
,
and
the
preaching
of
the
Preists
and
Prelats
is
nothing
,
but
downe
with
the
Gospell
and
up
with
Popery
as
fast
as
may
be
:
deplorable
indeed
are
our
times
,
and
great
contempt
there
is
now
of
the
Gospell
,
and
vshering
in
of
nouelties
and
innouations
.
I
beseech
you
what
could
be
done
more
at
Rome
?
But
if
I
should
run
through
all
,
whereas
I
thought
to
haue
writ
but
a
few
lines
onely
,
I
should
make
a
volume
,
and
too
much
weary
you
.
Yet
I
must
now
craue
pardon
,
in
one
thing
more
,
that
you
would
giue
mee
a
little
liberty
,
and
soe
much
the
rather
,
because
it
is
a
matter
of
great
concequence
,
and
the
cause
of
all
superstition
all
most
and
idolatry
,
and
the
occasion
of
the
greatest
breach
of
vnion
amongst
Christians
,
which
was
giuen
and
appoynted
by
Christ
him selfe
,
for
one
of
the
greatest
tyes
and
bands
of
concord
loue
Charity
and
peace
among
them
:
and
that
is
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
,
which
was
the
deuills
craft
and
subtlety
so
to
bring
things
about
.
Let
vs
now
see
in
that
,
what
Christ
and
the
apostles
did
and
taught
concerning
this
mystery
(
whose
example
we
haue
precept
to
imitate
)
and
what
the
Pope
Preists
and
Prelats
in
our
Age
doe
in
it
:
and
what
mischeife
hath
come
vpon
the
Church
of
God
,
by
the
leauing
of
Christs
and
the
Apostles
example
and
following
Antichrist
and
his
disciples
.
First
therefore
to
speake
of
the
gesture
.
It
is
sayd
that
Christ
and
all
his
apostles
in
the
celebration
of
the
supper
sate
;
So
it
is
in
the
originall
,
and
so
in
all
translations
that
euer
I
yet
read
:
and
most
cartaine
it
is
they
vsed
a
table
gesture
,
but
whatsoeuer
it
was
,
that
was
then
in
vse
,
whether
leaning
,
lying
,
standing
,
sitting
,
kneeling
it
was
not
:
and
that
all
men
that
euer
I
conferred
with
about
this
,
or
euer
read
,
accord
to
.
Now
the
Pope
and
the
Prelats
haue
altered
this
gesture
,
and
bring-in
kneeling
,
a
posture
of
adoration
,
a
strange
innouation
,
and
a
gesture
that
neuer
was
vsed
at
the
celibration
of
any
Sacrament
.
And
truely
in
my
opinion
,
it
is
a
great
temerity
among
Christians
,
to
leaue
the
ordinary
examples
of
Christ
and
his
apostles
,
and
follow
extraordinary
of
Antichrist
and
his
disciples
:
especially
when
we
are
commanded
by
Paul
himself
1.
Cor:
chap.
11.
to
be
followers
of
him
euen
as
he
is
of
Christ
.
And
this
in
the
very
chapter
where
he
speaketh
of
the
institution
of
the
supper
of
the
Lord
.
And
in
the
fourth
to
the
Philip
:
the
apostle
sayth
in
these
expresse
termes
,
those
things
which
yee
haue
both
learned
,
and
receiued
and
heard
,
and
seene
in
mee
,
doe
:
and
the
God
of
peace
shall
be
with
you
.
Here
the
example
of
the
Apostle
is
set
before
vs
,
and
peace
promised
vnto
vs
,
if
wee
imitate
him
in
it
.
Shall
we
therefore
leaue
the
example
of
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
in
the
gesture
of
receiuing
and
administration
of
the
supper
of
the
Lord
,
and
take
vp
the
example
of
Antichrist
,
from
whom
we
ought
to
be
vnlike
in
all
things
?
And
to
speake
the
truth
,
kneeling
of
all
other
postures
least
agrees
to
the
action
of
a
supper
or
a
feast
:
neither
was
such
a
gesture
euer
vsed
in
ordinary
or
extraordinary
feastings
.
Let
vs
look
back
to
all
the
Sacraments
likewise
of
the
old
Testament
the
Passeouer
it self
,
which
where
the
same
with
ours
,
for
the
apostle
in
1.
Corinthians
10.
telleth
vs
that
they
in
them
eate
the
same
spirituall
meat
and
drank
the
same
spirituall
drink
,
that
wee
doe
in
ours
,
there
was
in
them
all
,
a
heauenly
holy
banket
and
refreshing
,
and
Christ
was
as
really
there
present
as
in
ours
,
and
as
great
a
preparation
was
to
be
made
there
and
as
great
reuerence
to
be
vsed
as
in
ours
,
and
there
was
but
this
difference
in
them
,
that
the
one
set
forth
Christ
to
come
and
to
be
crucified
,
and
the
other
set
forth
Christ
now
dead
and
rose
againe
and
in
heauen
:
but
I
say
for
the
substance
,
they
were
all
one
,
and
the
beleeuing
Israelits
were
as
really
made
partakers
of
Christ
and
all
his
merits
in
their
Sacraments
as
we
in
ours
:
and
he
as
really
present
there
as
in
ours
;
and
yet
I
say
they
vsed
no
posture
of
adooration
in
it
,
neither
was
that
gesture
euer
vsed
in
the
administration
of
Baptisme
,
where
Christ
is
also
as
much
present
as
in
the
Lords
supper
,
and
that
Sacrament
also
was
honoured
with
the
visible
presence
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
the
voice
of
God
the
Father
the
greatest
miracle
that
euer
was
,
and
the
most
certaine
reall
presence
that
euer
we
reade
of
in
scripture
was
in
that
;
and
this
also
is
such
a
Sacrament
,
and
of
such
necessity
,
as
without
which
the
aduersaries
say
there
is
no
saluation
,
neither
can
they
deny
but
Christ
is
as
really
preseṅt
there
as
in
the
supper
:
yet
this
sacrament
is
administred
by
all
the
aduersaries
themselues
standing
,
without
the
posture
of
veneration
,
and
yet
they
dare
not
say
they
baptise
vnreuerently
:
why
then
I
beseech
you
do
we
vse
a
gesture
of
more
reuerence
at
the
one
Sacrament
then
at
an
other
?
when
they
are
equally
to
be
reuerenced
?
or
why
should
we
leaue
the
example
of
Christ
and
his
apostles
in
the
one
and
follow
Antichrists
?
this
I
must
confesse
I
see
no
ground
of
neither
in
reason
nor
in
Scripture
.
I
haue
read
that
when
Gods
owne
Ordinances
came
to
be
abused
to
Idolatry
they
were
then
abolished
,
and
it
was
well
pleasing
vnto
God
.
And
I
am
fully
perswaded
if
that
kneeling
had
been
the
gesture
in
Christs
time
,
in
their
ordinary
repasts
and
meales
and
that
Christ
himselfe
with
his
Apostles
had
kneeled
in
the
receiuing
of
that
last
Supper
,
yet
if
afterwards
,
it
should
haue
been
abused
to
idolatry
and
haue
giuen
an
occasion
of
much
dishonour
to
God
,
and
scandall
to
the
bretheren
,
I
say
I
am
confident
,
it
would
haue
been
well
pleasing
vnto
the
Lord
to
haue
left
it
and
vsed
an
other
.
But
when
neither
Christ
nor
his
Apostles
vsed
this
gesture
of
veneration
in
receiuing
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
and
it
hath
been
an
occasion
of
great
Idolatry
,
yea
the
greatest
that
euer
was
,
and
is
also
a
cause
still
of
infinite
dishonour
to
God
,
and
scandall
to
the
weake
and
strengthning
to
the
wicked
idolaters
in
their
courses
,
I
affirme
and
that
vpon
most
excellent
reason
that
this
gesture
ought
now
to
be
left
,
and
declined
in
the
celebrating
of
that
holy
Ordinance
.
But
it
hath
indeed
euer
been
the
policy
of
the
deuill
to
corrupt
the
best
things
.
He
laboured
first
to
bring
the
people
to
a
profanation
of
this
ordinance
,
and
whereas
they
met
together
,
to
reioyce
in
remembrance
that
Christ
dyed
for
them
and
was
risen
againe
to
free
and
deliuer
them
from
death
,
they
in
their
reioycing
began
to
exceed
moderation
,
and
to
dishonour
God
in
the
abuse
of
his
creatures
.
Sainct
Paull
therefore
to
preuent
this
,
writes
vnto
them
,
reproues
them
for
this
so
great
abuse
,
and
tels
them
that
such
disorder
brought
a
Iudgment
vpon
them
rather
then
ablessing
,
and
wished
them
to
examine
themselues
▪
and
to
take
notice
that
it
was
an
ordinance
of
God
himselfe
:
setting
forth
the
death
and
passion
of
Christ
and
the
great
deliuerance
they
had
by
it
from
the
captiuity
and
slauery
of
sin
and
Satan
:
and
that
as
they
were
redeemed
by
his
death
and
sufferings
from
that
seruitude
,
to
be
the
seruants
of
Christ
,
and
not
to
be
any
longer
at
the
slauery
of
the
Deuill
and
to
doe
his
workes
,
by
disordering
themselues
,
so
they
should
prepare
themselues
&
remoue
wickednes
out
of
their
hearts
and
actions
,
&
should
come
with
true
thankefulnes
vnfeined
faith
and
true
loue
towards
God
,
charity
towards
their
neibour
,
&
with
all
sanctified
affections
vnto
his
holy
ordinance
,
that
so
they
might
procure
a
blessing
vpon
themselues
by
it
and
not
bring
downe
iudgments
vpon
their
heads
by
their
inordinat
carriage
there
▪
and
this
was
all
the
Apostle
aymes
at
in
that
chapter
,
must
we
therefore
by
and
by
think
,
because
the
apostle
reproues
them
of
irreuerence
and
disorder
,
therefore
he
doth
licence
Idolatry
and
the
worship
of
the
bread
and
wine
?
as
we
say
in
our
common
discourse
there
is
a
difference
between
staring
and
starke
mad
:
so
there
is
a
great
deale
of
difference
betweene
reverence
and
Idolatry
,
the
one
is
by
the
Apostle
indeed
in
this
chapter
commanded
,
the
other
in
the
tenth
chapter
as
highly
displeasing
vnto
God
,
is
abominated
.
But
I
would
very
faine
know
of
our
great
Masters
,
what
they
thinke
of
Christs
and
the
apostles
gesture
of
sitting
,
where
they
reuerent
or
no
,
I
demand
?
I
hope
they
will
not
say
,
vnreuerent
will
they
then
presume
to
be
more
reuerent
then
Christ
and
his
disciples
?
away
with
such
hypocrisy
and
abominable
blasphemy
!
then
we
well
perceiue
that
there
may
be
reuerence
in
the
Sacrament
where
there
is
no
kneeling
.
And
yet
these
hypocrits
call
it
vnreuerent
setting
vpon
their
tayles
,
and
make
it
an
article
in
their
Courts
for
the
vndoing
of
many
thousands
,
a
damnable
wickednes
against
God
and
their
brethren
.
And
without
all
doubt
,
Paul
that
reuealed
the
whole
will
of
God
vnto
the
faithfull
,
and
in
setting
forth
vnto
the
Corinthians
the
institution
of
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
as
he
had
receiued
it
from
Christ
himself
,
&
now
reprouing
them
also
for
their
vnreuerent
comming
vnto
it
,
and
profanation
of
that
holy
ordinance
,
if
kneeling
and
bodily
veneration
had
been
a
gesture
fit
for
that
action
and
would
haue
made
more
for
the
reuerent
receiuing
or
the
honouring
of
God
in
it
,
he
hauing
now
so
good
an
opportunity
,
would
haue
put
them
in
mind
of
it
;
nay
he
would
haue
inioyned
them
to
haue
vsed
kneeling
allwayes
in
receiuing
,
vnles
we
will
thinke
,
Paul
was
not
so
carefull
to
prouide
for
the
reuerent
receiuing
of
the
Sacrament
,
as
Antichrist
and
his
disciples
which
were
rashenesse
to
imagin
.
But
of
kneeling
there
is
altum
silentium
,
not
a
word
,
the
apostle
leaues
them
still
to
their
table
gesture
forewarning
them
onely
of
prophanesse
and
inconsideration
of
those
misteries
.
But
behold
in
this
thing
also
the
deceit
and
craft
of
that
old
Serpent
the
deuill
,
seing
the
Apostle
had
preuented
his
purpose
,
in
bringing
in
the
profanation
of
the
supper
of
the
Lord
,
this
most
excellent
help
for
the
edification
of
them
in
their
most
holy
faith
,
and
well
perceiuing
that
all
his
possibelity
of
working
that
stratagem
,
was
taken
away
and
he
was
now
disappoynted
of
his
purpose
:
he
goes
then
an
other
way
to
worke
:
and
seeing
he
could
not
haue
his
will
that
way
,
hee
resolued
to
haue
it
an
other
,
and
therefore
brings-in
a
contrary
extreme
,
worshipping
of
the
bread
and
wine
for
Christ
himself
,
the
greatest
and
fearfullest
idolatry
that
euer
was
in
the
world
.
But
for
the
vsheringin
of
this
peece
of
Seruice
he
had
no
better
instrument
then
Antichrist
that
opposeth
Christ
in
all
things
,
and
his
shauelings
the
Prelats
:
who
haue
left
Christs
example
,
&
forced
their
owne
idolatricall
one
,
vpon
all
Christians
vnder
their
gouernment
,
a
horrible
contempt
and
neglect
of
Christ
.
We
were
wont
to
say
Reges
ad
exemplum
Kings
examples
were
to
be
their
Subiects
paterns
,
and
so
Christ
and
his
Ministers
teach
all
his
children
and
Subiects
to
doe
,
what
he
their
King
,
by
life
doctrin
and
example
hath
taught
his
Church
which
equally
bind
:
but
Antichrist
and
his
seruants
constraine
the
people
to
leaue
Christs
example
,
and
teach
them
to
follow
his
which
is
the
enimy
of
Christ
.
Which
I
thinke
is
the
duty
of
all
such
as
feare
the
Lord
to
detest
.
But
now
to
goe
forwards
,
in
this
waighty
businesle
Seing
it
is
most
certayne
,
that
the
Pope
and
the
Prelats
are
against
Christ
in
the
gesture
of
receiuing
,
and
doe
not
that
Christ
and
his
apostles
did
.
Let
vs
now
take
notice
in
the
second
place
,
what
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
the
institution
.
I
haue
saith
he
receiued
of
the
Lord
that
also
which
I
deliuered
unto
you
,
that
the
Lord
Iesus
the
same
night
in
which
he
was
betrayed
tooke
bread
&c.
Here
the
Apostle
begins
from
the
time
of
the
institution
,
saying
the
same
night
and
in
the
20
verse
he
calleth
it
the
Lords
Supper
,
and
calls
it
also
bread
and
wine
,
all
which
things
deserue
their
consideration
,
and
are
matters
of
greater
consequence
then
at
first
are
thought
of
,
and
teach
all
men
in
the
reformation
of
any
abuses
,
to
haue
recourse
vnto
the
first
originall
fountaine
and
institution
as
the
Apostle
doth
here
:
and
tells
vs
what
he
hath
receiued
from
the
Lord
.
And
conserning
the
time
of
the
institution
of
the
sacrament
,
which
is
also
to
be
taken
notice
of
;
he
sayth
the
same
night
&c.
and
it
is
therefore
by
the
holy
Ghost
called
the
Lords
Supper
.
Now
for
the
time
of
institution
the
apostle
here
taught
it
to
the
Church
as
receiued
from
Christ
,
and
which
Paul
then
and
the
whole
Church
of
God
obserued
in
the
primitiue
times
,
and
so
it
was
lift
by
the
apostle
to
be
continued
,
for
as
far
as
I
can
perceiue
or
iudge
,
vnto
the
worlds
end
:
neither
can
I
see
any
reason
why
the
time
should
be
changed
:
without
we
will
plainly
confesse
,
that
Christ
hath
done
all
things
out
of
season
and
order
,
and
was
neither
reuerent
,
nor
seasonable
nor
orderly
in
his
proceedings
,
and
especially
in
the
institution
and
celebration
of
the
sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
(
for
his
gesture
pleased
not
before
)
which
were
more
then
a
little
arrogancy
so
to
speake
.
Yet
I
say
except
men
will
so
vilify
the
actions
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
I
know
no
cause
why
the
time
should
be
changed
:
for
as
the
Passeouer
was
instituted
in
the
euening
,
so
the
children
of
Israel
and
the
Church
of
the
Iews
precisely
obserued
the
time
,
neuer
being
so
impudent
and
temerarious
as
to
alter
it
;
but
it
was
continued
so
vnto
the
last
vse
of
it
,
as
by
Christs
owne
example
is
sufficently
manifest
.
And
yet
I
presume
there
might
as
good
reasons
haue
been
giuen
for
the
change
of
the
time
in
the
celebrating
of
that
ordinance
amongst
the
Iews
,
as
can
now
by
any
man
be
giuen
,
and
yet
the
Israelits
were
not
so
foole
hardy
as
to
thinke
any
time
better
or
more
seasonable
then
that
which
God
himself
had
appointed
,
and
contented
them selues
well
with
it
.
But
Antichrist
that
changeth
times
&
seasons
and
all
things
,
and
his
disciples
,
that
oppose
Christ
in
all
his
ordinances
,
they
haue
changed
the
time
,
and
conuerted
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
into
a
breakfast
,
a
great
innouation
,
and
make
it
no
small
offence
to
celebrate
it
in
the
euening
.
So
that
now
to
speake
properly
,
it
cannot
be
called
the
Lords
Supper
,
but
the
Lords
break
fast
:
and
so
it
is
to
them
indeed
;
for
they
eate
vp
the
Lord
at
a
breakfast
,
and
swallow
him
downe
whole
,
and
make
no
bones
of
him
;
he
is
with
them
but
their
mornings
nuntions
:
and
yet
they
eate
him
flesh
bloud
and
bones
as
they
say
and
really
,
and
then
after
that
they
drink
vp
his
blood
,
most
sweet
CANABALS
:
and
after
all
this
they
can
eate
a
sufficeint
dinner
too
.
These
fellowes
must
needs
haue
good
stomacks
.
But
by
all
this
it
is
manifest
,
that
Antichrist
and
his
Apostles
haue
euer
opposed
Christ
in
his
proceeding
be
they
what
they
will
be
.
But
here
now
commeth
a
sucking
obiection
to
be
answered
to
,
which
is
this
,
if
Christs
example
say
some
,
be
to
be
followed
,
so
closely
,
and
so
precisely
adhered
to
,
in
the
administration
of
the
Sacrament
,
as
in
his
gesture
,
and
the
time
of
celebration
,
then
also
,
it
must
be
in
an
vpper
roome
and
but
with
twelue
&c.
This
I
affirme
is
so
poore
a
foppery
as
I
wonder
learned
men
should
make
vse
of
such
wretched
cauils
,
and
yet
I
had
it
from
one
of
great
name
for
Scholarship
.
But
for
answer
I
say
that
the
Sacrament
of
the
Passeouer
,
was
to
be
celebrated
in
euery
priuat
family
:
by
themselues
,
if
they
had
company
enough
within
themselues
to
eat
the
Lambe
,
and
if
they
had
not
,
then
indeed
they
were
to
call
in
as
many
other
families
to
ioyne
together
,
as
would
suffice
for
that
purpose
:
so
that
howsoeuer
there
was
a
community
among
them
,
one
with
an
other
in
that
action
,
as
at
this
day
the
communicants
of
one
church
may
participate
with
an
other
in
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
,
from
this
very
example
:
yet
this
was
to
be
done
in
a
priuat
house
,
so
that
for
their
meeting
place
,
it
was
not
publick
.
Now
very
order
and
nature
required
,
that
it
should
be
a
place
large
enough
to
entertayne
the
company
and
guests
that
were
met
together
,
the
number
being
for
the
most
part
vncertayne
.
But
whether
they
would
eate
it
in
an
vpper
roome
or
a
lower
roome
,
that
was
left
arbitrary
,
no
commandement
giuen
for
either
:
neither
can
it
enter
into
any
vnderstanding
mans
heart
,
to
thinke
,
that
all
the
Israelits
houses
had
variety
of
roomes
in
them
,
though
some
had
both
vpper
and
lower
roomes
,
So
that
for
their
company
it
was
onely
required
,
that
they
should
haue
as
many
as
could
eate
the
Lamb
as
Christ
in
his
family
and
company
had
,
and
that
the
roome
should
also
be
spacious
enough
and
decent
,
which
is
of
all
Christians
now
for
order
and
decency
sake
to
be
obserued
,
that
for
either
priuat
:
or
publick
meetings
for
performance
of
duties
of
religion
if
they
haue
,
not
a
low
roome
fit
for
those
pious
purposes
,
then
they
may
take
an
vpper
roome
that
is
more
convenient
,
all
places
now
in
Gods
seruice
being
alike
,
as
after
I
shall
proue
:
So
that
for
any
man
from
the
certaine
company
of
Christ
and
his
apostles
,
and
from
the
vpper
roome
,
to
conclude
a
necessity
of
this
for
euer
in
the
world
,
and
from
a
priuate
action
,
to
conclude
the
likenes
in
a
publick
,
this
is
no
good
consequence
:
nor
followeth
not
,
as
in
the
two
former
,
and
that
euery
one
that
hath
the
eie
of
reason
may
easily
conclude
.
And
we
haue
many
presidents
in
sacred
writ
,
both
for
the
change
of
the
roome
in
the
celebration
of
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
.
And
also
for
multitudes
of
communicants
:
as
in
the
whole
Church
here
of
Corinth
for
one
:
and
the
Apostle
commands
them
that
they
should
come
together
in
publick
:
but
for
the
changing
of
the
time
and
gecture
,
it
is
no
where
in
sacred
writ
to
be
found
:
but
amongst
the
Apostles
and
primitiue
Christians
they
were
both
obserued
and
kept
.
And
so
much
concerning
that
.
Now
let
vs
looke
into
the
oppositions
of
Antichrist
and
his
disciples
,
and
see
there
other
diuerse
mutations
in
this
diuine
ordinance
:
They
haue
not
onely
changed
Christs
Supper
into
a
breakfast
but
into
a
sacrifice
,
an
other
abominable
imimpiety
and
nefarious
innouation
,
turning
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
owne
appointing
,
wherein
Christ
Doth
graciously
giue
and
offer
himselfe
with
all
his
merits
,
to
the
faithfull
and
beleeuing
communicants
,
into
a
sacrifice
of
the
masse
as
they
call
it
,
Propitiatory
for
the
liuing
and
dead
,
where
they
say
that
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
is
offered
vp
by
a
Preist
after
the
order
of
Melchisedeck
,
for
the
sinnes
of
the
quick
and
dead
,
and
by
vertue
of
this
Sacrifice
,
they
affirme
that
Christ
is
there
corporally
and
really
present
,
and
with
all
adoration
as
the
second
person
of
the
blessed
Trinity
to
be
worshipped
.
In
the
which
action
to
say
nothing
for
the
present
but
this
(
for
the
blasphemies
and
abomination
▪
of
it
are
innumerable
▪
there
is
greater
idolatry
committed
then
euer
was
,
in
the
worshipping
of
Dagon
,
Rimon
,
or
the
God
of
Echaron
:
and
of
all
them
that
loue
the
Lord
Iesus
,
and
looke
for
redemprion
by
him
,
and
hope
for
his
blessed
comming
,
ought
to
be
detested
and
abhorred
as
the
deuill
,
and
hell
it selfe
,
with
all
the
damnable
crew
of
Preists
that
are
agents
in
it
,
and
fauourers
of
it
.
Thus
I
say
Antichrist
and
his
complices
that
oppose
Christ
in
all
things
,
haue
changed
this
blessed
supper
,
a
type
of
our
heauenly
and
spirituall
communion
with
Christ
and
the
faithfull
,
and
the
bread
and
wine
in
that
,
into
a
most
detestable
idol
and
breaden
God
.
And
in
this
fearfull
idolatry
do
our
Prelats
harmonise
with
them
:
and
are
making
as
great
speed
to
their
old
Mistris
as
they
can
:
for
they
haue
brought
in
Preists
and
altars
allready
,
and
they
haue
all
the
wedding
garments
prepared
and
euery
thing
for
the
purpose
,
they
want
but
an
opportunity
to
accomplish
all
things
.
And
howsoeuer
they
seeme
to
vary
,
it
is
but
in
shew
,
for
they
agree
well
enough
among
themselues
.
A
reall
presence
of
Christ
they
both
acknowledg
,
and
a
corporall
adoratoon
and
reuerence
,
in
regard
of
that
,
they
both
inioyne
.
But
before
we
come
to
the
abuses
,
that
follow
,
vppon
the
supposition
of
the
reall
presence
,
let
vs
see
what
Christ
and
his
apostles
teach
concerning
that
:
and
what
the
Pope
and
his
disciples
teach
.
You
shall
see
that
the
Pope
and
Prelats
will
euer
oppose
Christ
and
his
Apostles
in
whatsoeuer
they
doe
or
teach
.
Christ
Iesus
the
Lord
commaunds
his
Apostles
,
and
in
them
all
Christians
in
eating
the
bread
,
and
drinking
the
wine
,
saying
,
do
this
in
remembrance
of
mee
.
Luke
22.
19
And
Saint
Paul
relating
the
institution
as
he
had
it
from
the
Lord
,
commands
them
in
receiuing
the
bread
and
wine
▪
saying
,
case
and
drinke
this
in
remembrance
of
mee
:
farther
adding
,
for
as
oft
as
yee
eatt
this
bread
,
and
drink
this
cupp
.
ye
do
shew
the
Lords
death
till
he
come
.
By
all
which
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
Lord
is
not
there
present
.
The
same
doctrine
he
commendeth
vnto
the
Colossians
in
the
3
chapter
,
hauing
eleuated
their
minds
from
all
terrene
obseruations
and
will
worship
and
trifling
inuentions
of
men
in
Gods
seruice
,
he
bids
them
seeke
those
things
which
are
aboue
where
Christ
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
.
And
Saint
Peter
in
the
Acts
tels
vs
that
the
heauens
must
containe
him
till
the
last
day
.
Infinite
places
to
this
purpose
might
be
produced
,
to
proue
that
Christ
is
now
in
heauen
,
and
there
to
remayne
till
the
consummation
of
all
things
,
as
in
our
Creed
also
we
beleue
.
Yea
the
Scripture
in
many
places
calleth
the
elements
by
the
proper
names
of
bread
and
wine
.
So
that
by
all
these
maner
of
expressions
,
and
by
the
apparent
words
of
the
text
,
the
Lord
Iesus
himself
and
his
Apostles
teach
vs
,
that
there
is
in
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
a
real
absence
of
Christ
.
But
Antichrist
▪
and
his
Apostles
teach
vs
a
real
presence
.
Now
here
is
the
doubt
,
whether
we
shall
beleeue
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
or
Antichrist
and
his
shauelings
.
Christ
and
his
Apostles
teach
vs
a
real
absence
,
&
they
a
real
presence
.
Certainly
one
of
those
most
teach
false
.
But
Christ
and
his
Apostles
they
teach
not
false
▪
ergo
the
Pope
and
Prelats
teach
false
doctrine
and
are
not
to
be
listned
vnto
.
Now
from
this
supposition
and
opinion
,
they
haue
brought
in
damnable
idolatry
,
worshipping
of
a
peece
of
bread
for
the
blessed
Son
of
God
Christ
Iesus
himself
,
the
worshipping
of
the
cup
and
pixe
,
communion
tables
,
Altars
,
temples
,
the
name
and
Syllables
of
Iesus
,
and
infinit
other
trumperies
,
making
of
one
place
more
holy
then
an
other
.
But
as
the
worst
Nutmegs
are
commonly
gilded
ouer
:
so
the
worst
things
are
varnished
ouer
with
finest
names
and
compellations
.
to
say
nothing
of
morall
vices
that
carry
the
name
of
vertues
.
But
to
the
matter
in
hand
:
all
these
abominable
impietyes
of
will
worship
,
superstion
,
human
inuentions
,
idolatry
,
prophanesse
of
the
Lords
day
,
must
be
vshered-in
vnder
the
name
of
lawfull
recreatious
,
reuerence
,
decency
,
obedionce
to
the
Church
,
order
&c
when
indeed
they
bring
in
confusition
and
disorder
both
to
the
Lawes
of
God
and
the
King
,
and
a
profanation
of
his
ordinances
,
and
execrable
wickednesses
,
all
arising
from
the
vaine
conceit
of
a
reall
presence
and
the
incitements
of
the
deuill
that
desires
to
destroy
the
image
and
workmanship
of
God
in
all
his
works
and
ordinances
:
and
therefore
suggests
into
his
sworne
seruants
,
those
rebells
to
the
will
of
God
,
which
they
can
not
obey
thousand
▪
inuentious
,
for
the
peruerting
and
corrupting
of
them
;
because
they
can
not
altogether
abolish
them
.
And
if
they
should
come
which
opon
opposition
,
and
say
let
vs
fall
downe
and
worship
the
bread
and
wine
,
or
the
crosse
or
table
,
or
alter
or
the
Church
,
for
this
is
God
;
they
know
that
all
men
would
then
explode
them
:
and
therefore
being
all
for
the
most
part
not
onely
the
Popes
knights
,
I
meane
fir
Iohns
bachellors
of
wicked
arts
;
but
Masters
of
the
black
and
deuillish
art
of
deceiuing
;
I
say
they
pretend
that
Christ
is
there
really
present
:
and
therefore
in
honour
to
him
they
doe
all
this
reuerence
.
I
know
what
they
haue
alwayes
pretended
for
their
wickednes
,
but
that
must
not
suffice
in
things
of
this
consequence
,
and
in
matters
that
concerne
the
worship
of
God
,
where
we
looke
for
his
expresse
word
,
for
our
rule
,
oboue
and
beyond
which
to
be
wise
,
is
contrary
to
the
will
of
God
.
Therefore
if
any
man
will
propound
vnto
vs
a
way
to
worship
God
,
let
them
produce
his
word
to
conuince
vs
of
his
pleasure
,
otherwise
it
is
but
will-worship
,
which
he
abhorres
,
as
we
see
in
the
2
of
the
Colossians
.
And
to
serue
him
according
to
mens
precepts
is
to
worship
him
in
vaine
.
Matth.
15
If
they
could
once
againe
bring-in
the
twilight
of
ignorance
,
then
perhaps
they
may
make
the
simple
beleeue
that
bladders
are
Lanthornes
:
but
so
long
as
the
light
of
Gods
word
shineth
yet
so
clearly
(
for
which
wee
hartily
blesse
and
praise
his
holy
name
,
)
they
cannot
so
easily
delude
vs
,
and
make
vs
take
apples
for
oysters
.
We
can
yet
distinguish
between
truth
and
error
and
see
all
they
doe
,
is
but
meere
iug
,
lings
and
the
tricks
of
Munntibanks
.
For
we
know
that
Christ
is
in
heauen
really
and
no
where
els
in
his
human
nature
,
neither
are
wee
to
beleeue
them
that
say
Christ
is
here
or
there
.
Wee
know
also
that
Christ
is
no
more
in
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
then
he
hath
been
in
other
Sacraments
in
the
old
testament
,
and
in
the
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
nor
more
in
either
of
all
,
then
in
the
preaching
of
the
word
,
or
in
any
other
of
his
holy
ordinances
;
as
in
priuat
meetings
of
the
Saints
gathered
together
in
his
name
,
and
with
all
priuate
Christians
,
walking
in
faith
and
obedience
to
his
commandements
,
To
all
which
hee
hath
giuen
many
gracious
promises
,
that
wheresoeuer
two
or
three
be
gathered
together
,
there
he
will
be
with
them
.
Calling
them
(
2.
Cor.
6.
)
the
Temple
of
the
liuing
God
,
and
saying
I
will
dwell
in
them
,
and
walk
in
them
,
and
will
be
their
God
and
they
shall
,
be
my
people
,
and
that
he
will
be
a
father
vnto
them
,
and
they
shall
be
his
sons
and
danghters
.
So
that
with
greater
right
they
may
challenge
veneration
then
stocks
and
blocks
and
woodden
things
.
For
they
that
are
indeed
the
temple
of
the
holy
Ghost
▪
and
in
whom
Christ
dwells
except
they
bee
reprobates
,
in
them
there
is
as
much
reall
presence
as
is
in
the
sacraments
,
which
are
but
seales
of
the
promises
and
follow
them
:
insomuch
;
that
a
man
may
be
saued
with
out
the
sacraments
,
but
not
without
the
word
mingled
with
faith
,
of
which
they
are
but
signes
and
seales
.
Againe
,
for
the
word
it self
of
real
presence
,
it
is
the
language
of
the
beast
so
to
speake
:
and
howsoeuer
they
haue
forced
vs
sometime
to
vse
it
,
yet
I
hope
we
shall
in
time
,
abdicate
it
,
and
all
other
solecismes
of
that
animal
:
neuertheles
,
by
that
tearme
when
we
do
vse
it
,
we
vnderstand
no
more
but
that
God
by
his
Spirit
,
which
is
the
Comforter
,
and
which
Christ
sent
in
his
absence
to
illuminat
the
blind
and
direct
the
faithfull
,
and
bring
them
into
the
way
of
truth
,
doth
assist
his
in
all
that
is
good
,
and
in
all
godly
vndertakings
and
holy
meetings
in
his
name
,
and
that
the
blessed
Trinity
doth
approue
of
their
endeauours
seconding
them
in
it
,
goe
along
with
them
to
the
end
,
and
sends
them
away
with
a
benediction
and
comfort
here
,
and
preserues
them
in
all
their
wayes
and
assisteth
them
and
after
crownes
them
which
eternall
glory
,
for
he
is
with
them
to
the
end
,
and
in
the
end
.
And
so
the
blessed
promises
of
God
are
to
be
vnderstood
,
when
he
sayth
he
will
be
with
his
,
and
that
he
is
at
hand
,
and
in
them
,
which
is
all
one
as
to
say
,
that
in
their
will
doings
he
approueth
of
them
and
will
protect
them
and
euer
assist
them
with
his
particuler
preseruation
and
blessing
,
and
doth
allow
of
them
so
doing
in
a
singular
maner
.
According
to
that
of
Paul
writing
to
the
Corinthians
about
the
incestuous
person
,
being
gathered
together
though
absent
.
saith
he
,
I
present
in
spirit
1.
Cor.
5.
as
much
,
as
if
he
had
sayd
,
you
haue
my
warrant
for
what
you
doe
,
I
allow
of
it
as
if
I
were
there
present
,
You
haue
my
approbation
,
I
am
of
the
same
mind
with
you
.
So
that
Paul
saying
,
though
absent
I
present
in
spirit
doth
not
establish
a
real
presence
of
Paul
among
the
Corinthians
,
but
his
approbation
onely
and
liking
of
their
godly
prooceedings
.
And
in
the
very
same
maner
are
the
blessed
promises
now
specified
to
be
vnderstood
conserning
Christs
reall
presence
.
But
to
faine
any
other
reall
presence
▪
that
Christ
should
be
more
on
the
Communion
table
or
alter
,
then
in
the
Font
or
belfore
,
or
other
part
of
the
Church
,
then
in
any
other
place
where
the
faithfull
are
in
his
name
gathered
together
&
therfor
that
more
veneration
is
to
be
giuen
to
those
places
,
or
reuerence
vsed
,
is
mere
superstion
;
yea
palpable
idolatry
,
&
to
worship
the
creature
for
the
creator
,
an
abominable
and
crying
sinne
:
and
therefore
these
impostors
do
egregiously
abuse
the
poore
people
,
in
putting
such
things
into
their
heads
,
as
to
thinke
one
place
more
holy
then
an
other
,
whether
it
be
table
,
alter
,
font
,
Church
or
Church-yard
.
and
very
reason
might
conuince
these
men
of
idlenesse
yea
madnes
if
they
were
▪
not
infatuated
.
For
if
the
Sacraments
of
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
Supper
were
not
to
be
worshipped
,
not
lift
by
Christ
vnto
the
Church
for
that
end
;
then
much
lesse
the
place
where
the
Sacraments
are
or
lye
,
ought
not
to
be
worshipped
:
But
we
know
that
the
Sacraments
were
onely
appoynted
for
seales
and
remembrances
of
absence
and
not
of
presence
as
the
scripture
it self
teacheth
;
therefore
they
most
impiously
delude
the
people
in
making
them
yeild
deuine
veneration
to
senslesse
things
,
because
the
Sacraments
are
celebrated
in
or
vpon
them
.
Besides
,
that
which
is
a
meer
inuention
of
mans
owne
braine
,
and
hath
been
an
horrible
idol
in
Gods
seruice
,
and
is
yet
an
idol
,
ought
not
to
be
tolerated
in
the
Church
of
God
,
but
to
be
abominated
of
all
men
,
that
truely
feare
the
Lord
:
but
all
well
informed
Christians
know
,
that
altars
haue
been
and
are
idols
:
and
therefore
they
ought
euer
to
be
abhorred
and
cast
out
as
idols
out
of
the
house
of
God
▪
and
all
table
worship
,
alter
worship
or
any
creature
worship
is
contrary
to
the
second
commandement
:
and
is
detestable
idolatry
.
Againe
,
to
put
any
holynesse
more
in
one
place
then
in
an
other
,
and
to
think
nothing
holy
,
but
that
which
hath
been
confecrated
with
bell
,
booke
,
and
candle
,
is
great
impiety
against
Christ
,
&
not
far
from
blasphemy
.
For
we
reade
in
the
fourth
of
Iohn
in
the
one
and
twentyeth
verse
,
Christ
himself
taking
away
all
discrimination
of
places
in
the
worship
of
God
,
makes
one
place
as
holy
and
▪
fit
as
an
other
for
his
seruice
and
worship
saying
you
shall
neither
in
this
mountaine
nor
yet
at
Ierusalem
worship
the
father
.
As
much
as
if
he
had
sayd
,
my
worship
shall
be
●yed
now
to
no
place
nor
country
any
more
,
but
all
places
and
countryes
I
haue
now
consecrated
to
my
seruice
,
and
euery
place
shall
hereafter
,
be
as
holy
as
Ierusalem
:
according
to
the
prophecy
of
Malachi
the
1.
ver:
11
for
from
the
rising
of
the
Sun
,
euen
vnto
the
going
downe
of
the
same
,
my
name
shall
be
great
among
the
Gentiles
,
and
in
euery
place
incense
shall
be
offered
vnto
my
name
&c
here
wee
see
now
this
prophecy
accomplished
by
Christ
,
and
all
places
consecrated
to
his
seruice
Ye
shall
neither
in
this
mountaine
,
nor
yet
at
Ierusalem
worship
the
father
.
and
Paul
exhorts
Christians
in
all
places
to
lift
vp
pure
hands
and
hearts
:
sufficiently
instructing
those
to
whom
hee
writ
,
that
all
places
were
made
holy
for
such
purposes
.
Now
I
desire
,
that
any
of
the
Popes
at
home
or
abroad
would
tell
mee
ingenuously
,
what
he
thinks
of
Christs
concecration
here
,
was
it
good
or
bad
:
did
he
consecrate
well
or
not
let
him
answer
mee
in
the
word
of
a
Preist
,
with
out
tergiuersation
,
candidly
—
If
he
shall
say
it
was
not
well
consectated
,
I
will
tell
him
to
his
face
he
is
a
blasphemer
and
proue
him
so
.
If
he
shall
freely
confesse
,
Christs
consecration
to
be
good
and
authentick
,
and
that
all
places
indeed
were
consecrated
by
Christ
himself
,
to
the
worship
of
God
.
then
how
impious
and
arrogant
a
thing
is
it
in
the
Prelats
,
to
vnconsecrate
and
to
make
profane
that
,
which
Christ
hath
consecrated
and
made
holy
.
For
so
they
doe
in
their
consecrations
as
by
and
by
we
shall
see
.
I
will
assure
you
,
there
is
a
greater
piaculum
in
this
thing
,
then
men
at
first
,
can
well
discerne
and
looke
into
.
Mee
thinks
that
of
Saint
Peter
in
the
tenth
of
the
Acts
should
deterre
them
from
such
abominations
,
where
,
when
the
vessels
descended
to
him
like
a
foure
cornered
sheet
,
full
of
all
manner
of
foure
footed
beasts
of
the
earth
and
creeping
things
and
foules
of
the
ayre
,
and
the
voice
also
came
vnto
him
bidding
him
kill
and
eate
▪
And
Peter
answered
not
so
Lord
,
for
I
haue
neuer
eaten
any
thing
that
was
common
and
vnsleane
.
And
the
voice
spake
vnto
him
againe
the
second
time
,
saying
what
God
hath
cleansed
,
that
call
not
thou
common
.
By
which
Peter
as
you
may
in
the
same
place
see
learned
by
that
,
that
Christ
had
taken
away
the
wall
of
difference
,
and
had
consecrated
and
made
all
things
cleane
.
And
fore-warning
him
,
that
he
should
not
make
that
vncleane
,
that
he
had
purified
&
cleansed
.
Mee
thinks
I
say
this
might
something
haue
deterred
our
great
Masters
from
their
dayly
impietyes
.
Nothing
with
them
is
holy
,
and
cleane
,
but
,
that
that
hath
been
washed
,
with
the
Popes
holy
water
,
or
hath
had
their
filthy
greasy
Fingers
of
consecration
vpon
it
:
of
which
procedings
of
theirs
,
there
is
not
a
word
of
warrent
in
all
the
book
of
God
,
without
which
,
there
can
be
nothing
made
holy
:
neither
is
there
any
need
of
such
wretched
fooleryes
:
for
as
I
said
before
,
Christ
the
Lord
both
of
heauen
and
earth
hath
consecrated
it
and
made
all
places
cleane
:
and
so
they
were
all
cleane
,
before
they
had
polluted
them
with
their
greasy
consecrations
,
with
their
idols
and
idolworships
.
Insomuch
that
there
is
no
place
more
vnholy
,
then
their
cathedralls
and
altarchurches
,
and
their
cloicters
,
which
are
so
many
dens
of
theeves
and
cages
of
filthines
and
Idolatry
,
which
I
shall
euer
be
able
to
mayntayne
.
And
from
this
impious
polluting
of
that
,
that
Christ
hath
made
cleane
,
I
had
thought
that
of
Paul
might
some
thing
haue
diuerted
those
vngodly
men
:
for
so
they
are
;
yea
notoriously
wicked
against
God
,
and
vncharitable
all
wayes
towards
the
liuing
temples
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
I
say
I
had
thought
that
of
Paul
in
the
17
of
the
Acts
24.
25
might
haue
restrayned
such
palpable
impiety
:
for
there
he
saith
God
that
made
the
world
and
all
things
therein
seeing
that
be
is
Lord
of
heauen
and
earth
,
dwelleth
not
in
temples
made
with
hands
,
neither
is
worshipped
with
mens
hands
,
as
though
he
had
need
of
any
thing
,
seeing
he
giueth
to
all
life
and
breath
and
all
things
.
What
could
be
sayd
more
manifestly
for
the
ouertrowing
not
onely
their
reall
presence
,
but
also
of
that
fiction
of
theirs
,
that
one
place
is
more
holy
then
an
other
:
when
he
is
the
Lord
of
all
things
,
and
one
place
and
creature
is
as
much
his
as
an
other
,
and
the
seruice
offered
vnto
him
in
one
place
according
to
his
will
,
as
well
pleasing
as
in
an
other
.
It
is
a
prodigious
wickednes
in
deed
and
a
thing
not
supportable
to
compare
the
Creator
of
all
things
to
the
creature
,
or
to
circumscribe
the
incomprehensible
,
or
to
think
with
magnificence
and
statelinesle
of
buildings
,
or
any
presents
to
procure
his
fauour
or
make
him
more
propitious
vnto
vs
.
All
which
base
conceits
haue
euer
been
the
fountaynes
of
all
superstition
and
idolatry
in
all
nations
,
and
come
from
the
deuill
.
And
so
much
the
more
we
should
be
desmayed
from
such
vaine
imaginatious
of
reall
presence
,
which
is
the
source
of
all
other
will
worship
,
if
we
considered
what
Paul
sayth
in
the
5.
of
the
2.
of
the
Corinthians
16.
wherefore
henceforth
know
wee
no
man
after
the
flesh
,
yea
though
we
haue
knowne
Christ
after
the
flesh
yet
now
henceforth
know
we
him
noe
more
.
as
much
as
if
he
had
sayd
,
wee
must
not
think
of
Christ
after
a
carnall
manner
who
hath
now
left
the
world
,
and
is
to
be
thought
of
and
considered
of
vs
spiritually
.
All
those
fictions
therefore
of
the
reall
presence
of
Christ
,
rather
in
one
place
then
an
other
as
at
CRVCIFIXES
,
CROSSES
,
PICTVRES
,
ALTARS
,
TABLES
,
are
the
dreames
of
idolatrous
braynes
,
suggested
by
the
diuill
,
for
the
keeping
of
the
minds
of
men
fixed
vpon
earthly
things
,
and
attent
to
his
seruice
,
making
them
belecue
that
Religion
consists
onely
in
outward
performances
and
by
such
delusions
as
these
,
he
hinders
them
from
seeking
those
things
which
are
ahoue
where
Christ
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
which
is
expresly
contrary
to
the
comand
of
Paul
.
How
outragiously
superstitious
then
yea
diabolically
impious
are
those
men
thinke
you
that
spend
such
mighty
summes
of
mony
in
adorning
and
making
such
sumptuous
buildings
,
as
serue
for
no
vse
,
but
superstition
and
idolatry
and
the
mayntenance
of
LAZY
BELLIGODS
,
AND
PROPHANE
SCORNERS
OF
ALL
TRVE
RELIGION
GODLINESSE
AND
PIETY
:
and
neglect
the
very
liuing
temples
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
that
famish
for
want
of
food
?
Truly
it
cannot
but
be
a
great
occasion
to
prouoke
the
Lord
to
iealousie
,
and
hot
displeasure
against
this
land
,
when
contrary
to
the
light
of
reason
and
apparent
scripture
his
reuealed
will
,
they
set
vp
superstition
and
idolatry
and
will
worship
;
and
think
better
of
their
owne
inuentions
,
and
preferre
their
traditions
before
his
most
holyest
lawes
and
precepts
,
and
by
them
transgresse
the
lawes
of
God
,
scandall
and
offend
their
brethren
:
yea
punish
the
meanest
neglect
of
them
,
or
the
speaking
against
them
,
more
seuerely
then
the
breach
of
all
Gods
comandements
.
I
say
these
things
must
needs
exceedingly
prouoke
the
Lord
,
when
mens
deuices
shall
be
so
aduanced
and
promoted
;
and
when
the
Gospell
and
the
poore
members
of
Christ
,
are
stamped
vnder
foot
,
and
droue
by
vnkind
vsage
both
out
of
the
Kingdome
.
What
may
we
thinke
you
,
now
promise
vnto
our selues
IN
THESE
SAD
TIMES
,
BVT
SPEEDY
PERDITION
:
for
as
our
sauiour
sayd
,
those
that
despise
his
true
messengers
,
despise
him
;
and
those
that
despise
him
,
despise
him
that
sent
him
,
that
is
God
himself
?
As
the
Gospell
hath
euer
brought
peace
,
plenty
,
happy
dayes
and
good
gouerment
,
where
euer
it
hath
become
:
as
all
the
places
in
England
can
tell
,
where
it
hath
been
faithfully
preached
:
&
as
all
England
in
generall
can
witnes
what
good
we
haue
receiued
by
it
:
so
the
contempt
of
it
,
and
the
Ministers
of
the
same
will
bring
desolation
and
ruine
vpon
the
whole
land
.
And
if
we
shall
now
be
contemnes
of
the
Gospell
,
and
the
Ministers
thereof
and
aduancers
of
Superstition
and
make
a
mock
of
it
;
what
I
say
may
we
then
looke
for
,
but
speedy
confusion
and
deplorable
misery
?
Truely
,
it
would
greiue
the
hart
of
any
that
either
loue
God
,
the
King
or
their
Country
,
or
their
religion
,
to
see
the
strange
metamorphosis
of
all
things
in
this
Kingdome
,
to
see
how
idolatry
creepes
up
EVEN
IN
THE
VNIVERSITYES
TO
POYSON
the
WHOLE
REAL
ME
;
&
how
in
all
places
superstition
is
euery
where
preached
vp
,
both
in
Court
and
Country
:
and
what
way
there
is
made
for
subuerting
of
preaching
and
the
bringing-in
of
human
inuentions
and
apish
ceremonyes
,
in
STEAD
of
the
Gospell
and
the
promulgation
of
the
same
which
should
saue
mens
soules
.
What
holinesse
I
pray
,
is
now
a
dayes
placed
in
Churches
and
Chappels
?
what
adorning
of
them
,
to
the
ruining
of
the
parishes
almost
where
they
are
?
what
adoration
,
to
tables
,
altars
,
Syllables
,
all
contrary
to
the
expresse
commaund
of
God
?
who
hath
sayd
thou
shalt
not
make
to
thy selfe
any
grauen
image
,
or
the
likenes
of
any
thing
,
in
heauen
aboue
or
in
the
earth
beneath
,
thou
shalt
not
bow
downe
to
it
,
or
worship
it
.
Yet
all
this
cannot
restraine
them
:
for
they
auerre
notwithstanding
all
this
,
the
place
is
holy
,
and
ought
to
be
venerated
.
What
I
beseech
you
is
contempt
of
God
if
this
be
not
?
It
would
pity
,
and
perplex
the
hearts
of
all
those
that
truely
feare
the
Lord
to
see
what
infinite
costs
haue
within
these
few
yeares
been
bestowed
vpon
chappels
and
Churches
onely
for
the
aduancing
of
superstition
:
and
to
say
now
something
of
Paules
:
how
hath
the
whole
country
for
aboue
these
fifty
yeares
been
made
fooles
about
that
?
there
hauing
been
so
many
gatherings
made
for
it
,
and
Stones
brought
vp
to
it
?
and
preparations
made
for
the
repayring
of
it
?
and
after
they
haue
pursed
the
mony
,
what
haue
they
done
else
but
conuert
it
to
their
owne
vse
?
And
now
of
late
,
what
immense
summes
of
money
haue
been
gathered
for
the
same
purpose
?
I
haue
heard
from
IESVITS
themselues
,
that
are
well
acquaynted
with
those
businesses
,
if
not
principall
sticklers
in
them
,
who
I
know
at
least
,
are
very
ioyfull
at
such
preparations
,
that
it
AMOVNTETH
to
ABOVE
TWO
HVNDRED
THOVSAND
POVNDS
,
that
which
hath
already
been
gathered
,
and
remaynes
yet
to
be
payd
,
which
had
been
almost
sufficient
,
to
haue
built
a
royall
house
for
the
honour
of
the
King
and
Kingdome
,
and
all
this
mighty
masse
of
money
,
must
be
spent
in
making
a
seate
for
a
A
PREISTS
ARSE
to
sit
in
:
for
it
is
cathedra
Episcopi
a
Bishops
chaire
,
and
for
the
Deane
and
subdeane
,
and
for
the
Prebends
Canons
Pety
canons
VERGERS
QVIRISTERS
&c
all
to
keepe
the
POPES
SADDEL
WARME
as
the
Popelins
themselues
bragging
prate
.
The
truth
is
,
the
whole
fraternity
of
that
crew
is
,
but
a
generation
of
vipers
,
whose
imployment
is
nothing
els
,
but
to
mayntayne
the
superstition
allready
retayned
,
to
vsher
in
more
,
and
Popery
it selfe
vpon
the
first
occasion
,
and
to
sing
Credos
and
anthems
,
and
exercise
prophanenes
.
Such
droues
of
those
vnprofitable
Epicures
there
are
through
the
Kingdome
,
as
deuoure
more
reuenues
,
then
all
the
Nobility
of
the
kingdome
,
or
many
mighty
Prince
enioyes
.
And
all
this
they
possesse
for
the
plauge
of
the
Kingdome
,
for
the
bringing-in
of
luxury
,
idlenes
,
superstition
,
Popery
and
Idolatory
:
the
least
of
which
sinnes
,
are
enough
to
moue
the
Lord
to
displeasure
:
and
all
that
I
now
speake
you
know
to
be
true
:
nay
the
whole
Kingdome
knoweth
it
well
:
neither
can
there
any
good
reason
be
giuen
for
the
maintenance
or
vpholding
of
them
:
without
a
pestilence
and
plauge
be
necessary
for
the
honour
of
a
State
and
Kingdome
,
which
all
that
rabble
rout
are
to
ours
,
and
all
Conntryes
where
they
dwell
.
and
the
very
truth
is
,
the
Papists
and
they
are
all
one
,
the
one
as
profound
idolaters
as
the
other
:
and
so
say
the
Papists
themselues
:
that
if
it
were
not
for
the
Puritans
,
they
should
quickly
accord
:
and
so
the
Papists
haue
told
mee
twenty
times
at
home
,
and
abroad
,
and
therefore
they
so
hate
them
they
stigmatize
with
the
name
of
Puritans
.
What
a
lamentable
thing
is
this
then
,
that
this
Kingdome
should
harbour
then
within
it selfe
,
it
s
owne
destruction
?
AND
BESTOW
VPON
THAT
VERMIN
SVCH
MIGHTY
REVENVE
,
and
all
for
the
eating
out
of
the
bowels
of
their
mother
?
Time
doubtles
it
is
,
that
the
King
and
State
should
looke
speedily
to
them
:
yea
it
is
high
time
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
it
concernes
his
Maiesty
,
in
that
they
pretend
his
authoritie
for
all
their
wickednes
,
and
getting
his
hand
,
abuse
his
whole
kingdome
,
in
pillaging
and
poling
of
it
,
and
in
inslauing
his
subiects
,
vpon
euery
slight
occasion
,
and
make
them
vnable
to
yeild
vnto
the
Kings
most
vrgent
necessityes
,
which
when
through
mere
indigency
they
are
found
fayling
in
,
then
they
hauing
the
Kings
royall
eare
,
cry
these
are
the
Puritans
,
that
deny
yon
highnes
their
assistance
in
time
of
your
occasions
,
when
they
haue
been
impouerished
by
their
exactions
and
by
their
wicked
Courts
,
and
thus
they
abuse
both
the
King
and
his
people
,
as
all
the
world
knoweth
well
,
and
therefore
I
say
due
time
it
is
,
that
his
Maiesty
should
looke
a
little
into
these
things
:
And
so
much
the
rather
because
all
these
their
deuillish
plots
,
are
for
the
ADVANCING
OF
POPERY
▪
which
will
be
the
bane
of
him
,
his
,
and
the
whole
realme
,
and
the
ruine
of
all
things
at
last
.
What
impudency
allready
,
the
Prelats
are
come
to
,
the
cry
of
the
whole
Kingdome
can
witnes
.
Their
late
proceedings
in
the
Fast
businesse
can
tell
:
for
howsoeuer
,
it
pleased
his
royall
maiesty
,
out
of
his
pious
zeale
,
to
proclaime
a
Fast
through
the
kingdome
,
for
the
humbling
of
the
people
for
their
sinnes
:
and
commanded
that
the
same
booke
of
prayers
should
be
reprinted
,
which
had
been
set
forth
,
by
publick
authority
in
former
calamityes
of
plague
and
pestilence
;
the
prelats
contrary
vnto
his
royall
proclamation
;
see
out
an
other
:
or
at
least
left
out
many
things
of
purpose
,
that
rended
to
the
beating
downe
of
Popery
and
superstition
▪
and
other
things
,
to
the
dishonour
of
him
and
his
nighest
Allies
:
a
horrible
affront
against
regall
command
:
and
would
haue
cost
any
other
Subiect
as
much
as
he
had
been
worth
,
&
deseruedly
:
that
should
thus
dispise
his
Imperiall
Maiestics
Proclamation
and
often
declarations
:
but
the
PRELATS
may
commit
any
insolency
against
the
King
and
his
people
,
and
no
body
dare
say
why
doe
you
so
:
it
is
enough
that
they
seeme
to
fauour
the
prerogatiue
royall
,
though
by
their
actions
they
conculcate
it
:
which
makes
vs
thinke
now
,
that
it
was
their
inuention
likewise
,
to
silence
all
the
lectures
in
London
and
in
all
infected
places
,
that
in
as
much
as
in
them
lyes
,
they
might
aduance
their
damnable
superstitions
and
idolatryes
.
And
to
what
end
else
,
should
such
preaching
vp
of
ALTARS
in
all
places
meane
?
such
vrging
of
beautifying
of
temples
?
such
bowing
to
altars
,
tables
,
at
the
letters
and
syllables
of
Iesus
?
if
they
had
not
some
great
designe
of
innovation
?
For
,
these
things
vsed
not
to
be
within
these
few
yeares
;
and
cannot
churches
be
comely
mayntained
,
as
they
haue
formerly
been
,
but
the
whole
kingdome
must
be
troubled
about
them
for
their
sumptuosity
,
and
the
furnishing
of
them
with
fopperies
,
fit
for
nothing
but
to
prouoke
God
to
anger
,
and
who
hath
expresly
said
,
he
is
not
pleased
with
such
things
?
There
was
a
wise
Deane
,
not
long
since
,
who
it
seemes
had
been
a
little
before
in
heauen
:
for
he
brought
news
fram
thence
that
Saint
Paul
was
very
merry
and
glad
to
see
their
loue
towards
him
,
and
that
the
King
and
Nobles
were
so
ready
to
yeild
their
helping
hands
towards
his
releife
,
in
bestowing
new
cloths
vpon
him
,
or
rather
mending
his
old
ones
.
and
that
Paules
it selfe
,
and
the
very
stones
did
reioyce
,
that
the
reparations
went
on
soe
prosperously
and
many
a
fine
thing
he
had
to
this
purpose
,
concerning
that
holy
place
for
so
he
termed
it
.
But
I
dare
presume
,
in
saying
that
Paul
was
very
glad
,
to
see
their
loue
to
him
,
in
repayring
that
raw
bond
building
,
he
preached
then
without
his
book
,
which
Deanes
seldome
doe
,
before
the
King
.
I
beleeue
if
Paul
were
vpon
the
earth
to
see
what
they
now
doe
about
that
businesse
,
he
would
giue
them
as
little
thanks
for
that
endeauour
and
for
all
their
paynes
,
as
he
did
at
Lystra
to
the
Preists
of
Iupiter
,
that
would
haue
sacrificed
to
him
and
Barnabas
.
No
without
doubt
,
it
would
exceedingly
trouble
and
perplex
Paul
,
who
hated
all
superstition
,
and
such
like
trumperies
,
as
may
easily
be
seene
in
the
seuententh
of
the
Acts
,
where
be
reprehends
the
Athenians
for
their
superstition
,
and
care
about
temples
,
and
told
them
that
God
dwelt
not
in
temples
made
with
hands
:
nor
had
no
need
of
such
deuices
,
and
earnestly
dehorted
them
from
all
such
doings
:
and
shall
we
now
thinke
,
though
a
Deane
sayes
it
,
that
Paul
would
preach
an
other
doctrin
contrary
to
that
?
No
no
Paul
was
no
temporiser
,
he
stood
allwayes
to
his
principles
,
and
abhorres
all
such
fooleries
and
impietyes
.
His
whole
study
was
how
to
build
vp
the
true
temples
and
Churches
of
God
,
in
their
most
holy
faith
,
and
how
to
preach
and
promulgate
the
Gospell
,
and
how
to
promote
the
honor
of
it
by
his
Sufferings
,
and
by
teaching
and
instructing
the
people
night
and
day
from
house
to
house
.
His
care
was
not
taken
vp
,
in
making
of
houses
and
edifices
magnificent
or
repayring
them
,
fit
for
nothing
but
superstition
and
idolatry
and
the
MAYNTENANCE
OF
IDLE
ALBEY
LVBBERS
,
concerning
which
,
he
giueth
strict
command
,
that
except
they
wrought
and
laboured
with
their
hands
,
they
should
not
eate
.
Paul
indeed
had
the
sollicitude
of
all
the
Churches
continually
lying
vpon
him
,
and
his
whole
study
was
to
build
and
reedify
them
,
but
they
were
the
liuing
temples
,
and
those
indeed
he
built
vp
dayly
in
the
knowledge
of
God
and
of
themselues
,
and
with
all
tooke
speciall
care
for
the
releife
of
the
poore
saints
,
and
how
to
procure
aide
and
comfort
vnto
them
,
in
the
times
of
their
necessityes
.
Yea
so
farr
was
Paul
from
putting
men
to
vnnecessary
expenses
and
burthening
of
them
,
or
any
way
charging
of
them
about
building
of
Churches
,
that
he
would
not
be
beholding
to
them
for
the
repayring
of
his
owne
body
,
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
but
laboured
with
his
owne
hands
for
his
proper
maintenance
,
and
preached
the
Gospell
to
them
gratis
,
and
that
night
and
day
,
and
thought
no
time
enough
for
that
holy
duty
.
And
shall
wee
then
thinke
,
when
Paul
was
such
an
aduancer
of
preaching
,
and
such
a
publisher
of
the
Gospell
,
and
so
great
a
hater
of
superstition
and
idolatry
,
that
hee
now
is
well
pleased
with
the
supperfluous
repayring
of
THAT
IDOL
TEMPLE
,
and
the
prouiding
of
a
place
for
such
droanes
as
he
thought
not
worthy
to
eate
?
Nay
I
dare
maintaine
out
of
Pauls
owne
doctrine
,
that
those
infinit
summes
of
money
,
to
haue
been
bestowed
vpon
the
poore
indigent
brethren
,
would
haue
been
,
farre
more
pleasing
vnto
God
:
for
,
the
poore
are
in
the
world
for
the
exercise
of
mens
charity
,
and
for
the
common
good
of
kingdomes
,
but
of
such
reparations
and
buildings
there
comes
neither
honor
to
God
nor
the
King
,
pretend
Popelins
what
they
will
.
And
all
this
I
say
I
am
ready
to
make
good
.
But
to
such
a
passe
are
times
now
come
,
that
the
Pulpits
,
which
should
be
the
place
of
God
and
his
truth
,
are
now
become
stages
to
make
playes
on
,
and
to
vent
lyes
,
impiety
,
superstition
and
idolatry
.
But
one
of
the
greatest
hypocriticall
mockeries
of
all
the
rest
,
is
their
capping
and
crouching
at
the
name
of
Iesus
and
the
vrging
of
all
men
to
doe
the
same
.
Nay
some
say
,
they
make
the
PRINCE
of
WALES
to
doe
it
.
I
say
in
that
,
their
damnable
hypocrisy
is
seene
,
for
howsoeuer
they
vrge
the
obseruation
of
that
ceremony
and
custome
,
more
then
they
doe
the
keeping
of
any
command
of
God
,
and
punish
the
neglect
of
it
with
more
seuerity
then
the
transgression
of
the
whole
law
:
yet
there
is
not
one
word
of
warrant
for
it
in
all
the
booke
of
God
:
the
very
place
they
pretend
,
no
way
fauouring
them
,
nor
their
procedings
,
being
the
2.
to
the
Philippians
10
,
To
say
nothing
of
the
opinion
of
all
antiquiry
,
that
is
against
them
:
nor
how
that
text
,
by
all
the
torrent
of
moderne
learned
men
is
interpreted
contrary
to
their
opinion
;
and
by
both
ancient
and
neoterick
Expositers
applyed
to
the
confuting
of
damnable
hereticks
,
and
not
for
the
bringing-in
of
apish
tricks
in
the
seruice
and
worship
of
God
.
But
to
come
now
to
the
words
,
let
vs
see
whether
the
Prelats
doe
that
the
text
inioynts
,
which
is
the
thing
they
so
earnestly
vrge
.
The
words
are
these
:
That
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
knee
should
bow
of
things
in
heauen
,
and
things
in
earth
,
and
things
vnder
the
earth
,
and
that
euery
tongue
should
confesse
,
that
Iesus
is
the
Lord
to
the
glory
of
God
the
father
.
If
these
words
conteyne
in
them
a
command
,
not
onely
of
an
inward
but
an
outward
bodily
reuerence
,
as
the
Prelats
and
their
Preists
affirme
.
Then
I
say
this
command
binds
not
onely
semper
but
ad
semper
,
as
all
the
other
Commandements
of
God
do
:
for
it
is
of
the
same
nature
with
them
,
and
the
neglect
at
any
time
or
in
any
place
of
that
seruice
,
is
a
sin
at
all
times
.
As
the
command
that
sayes
,
thou
shalt
loue
the
Lord
thy
God
with
all
thy
heart
and
with
all
thy
soule
,
and
with
all
thy
strength
,
binds
semper
&
ad
semper
,
and
the
neglect
of
our
loue
and
duty
at
any
time
is
a
sinne
,
The
second
command
binds
likewise
,
that
we
should
not
make
to
our selues
any
grauen
image
,
or
the
likenes
of
any
thing
in
heauen
aboue
or
in
the
earth
beneath
,
and
that
we
should
not
bow
downe
to
it
nor
worship
it
.
This
command
also
binds
semper
&
ad
semper
,
and
the
violating
of
it
at
any
time
is
a
great
sinne
against
allmighty
God
and
without
repentance
brings
eternall
misery
.
The
same
may
be
said
of
the
3
and
4
commandements
of
taking
the
name
of
God
in
vayne
and
keeping
holy
the
Sabbath
day
,
and
of
all
the
rest
of
the
commandements
.
Now
I
say
if
these
words
to
the
Philippians
be
a
command
,
as
the
Prelats
would
haue
it
:
then
it
is
of
the
same
nature
with
the
rest
.
So
that
the
worship
there
prescribed
and
set
downe
and
that
worship
onely
is
to
be
performed
,
and
not
such
worship
and
seruice
as
the
Prelats
would
frame
:
For
God
that
requires
worship
from
vs
,
will
haue
it
after
his
owne
way
likewise
,
and
will
not
be
serued
after
mens
phansies
,
which
he
abominates
.
So
that
if
an
externall
and
corporall
worship
be
to
be
giuen
at
the
name
of
Iesus
as
they
say
,
it
must
then
be
bowing
of
the
knees
,
and
the
confession
with
the
mouth
,
for
the
words
are
thus
Set
downe
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euesy
knee
shall
bow
,
and
euery
tongue
shall
confesse
&c.
so
that
the
very
instruments
by
which
this
worship
should
be
performed
are
set
downe
viz:
the
knees
and
the
tongue
.
How
is
it
then
,
when
the
Lord
hath
so
precisely
set
downe
the
instruments
of
this
worship
,
and
the
maner
of
it
,
that
the
Prelats
are
yet
so
blind
,
that
they
see
them
not
in
the
Text
?
or
so
willfull
that
they
will
not
follow
it
?
at
the
name
of
Iesus
saith
the
text
,
euery
knee
shall
bow
:
and
the
Prelats
in
obedience
to
this
command
put
vp
their
fingers
to
their
FOVRE-SQVARE
COWTVRDS
,
and
giue
him
a
nod
with
the
head
;
and
all
this
I
auerre
is
their
owne
worship
,
not
Gods
:
God
doth
not
bid
them
bow
their
fingers
to
their
form
alityes
:
but
the
text
sayes
expresly
that
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
knee
shall
bow
:
this
is
the
seruice
outward
and
corporall
,
and
this
onely
that
is
by
that
text
required
,
if
any
.
And
the
truth
is
,
it
is
a
mockery
of
God
in
the
Prelats
so
to
doe
.
If
a
King
should
command
a
subiect
,
to
yeild
him
his
hand
to
help
him
:
and
if
he
should
giue
his
foot
would
not
such
a
fellow
be
keckt
out
of
the
Court
and
most
worthily
?
Paul
in
an
other
Epistle
bids
men
lift
vp
pure
hands
and
hearts
in
all
places
praying
vnto
God
.
Now
if
one
going
to
pray
should
lift
vp
his
heeles
,
and
kecke
vp
his
legs
,
because
Paul
commands
men
praying
to
lift
vp
pure
hands
and
hearts
,
would
not
this
fellow
be
condemned
of
prophanesse
among
all
men
&
be
thought
.
a
scorner
of
religion
,
&
worthy
of
seuere
punishmeut
,
so
to
abuse
the
Scripture
?
&
in
this
very
manor
doe
the
Prelats
mock
God
for
the
reuerence
that
they
performe
is
redeculous
,
and
such
as
the
text
commands
not
:
For
that
sayth
not
,
put
of
your
hats
or
caps
,
or
nodd
your
head
and
make
a
leg
:
no
such
businesse
I
promise
you
doth
that
require
:
but
explicitly
sayes
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
knee
shall
bow
.
So
that
if
the
Prelats
will
either
doe
that
themselues
,
or
enioyne
others
to
doe
it
,
that
is
commanded
in
that
place
,
they
must
fall
downe
vpon
their
knees
,
or
at
least
make
a
curtsy
as
often
as
the
word
and
sound
Iesus
comes
to
their
eares
,
making
of
a
leg
and
putting
of
their
caps
,
or
nodding
with
the
head
,
is
no
obeying
of
that
command
,
neither
is
it
required
of
them
but
that
their
knes
should
bow
,
not
one
in
making
of
a
legg
,
for
that
is
not
to
obey
the
commaundement
neither
,
but
both
,
for
the
text
sayth
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
knees
shall
bow
:
and
thus
to
obey
Pauls
commaund
,
I
neuer
saw
any
Preist
or
Prelat
to
this
day
:
so
that
as
yet
,
they
liue
and
continue
in
disobedience
to
it
,
and
bring-in
a
commaund
of
their
owne
,
which
they
put
vpon
the
people
,
and
the
neglect
or
transgression
of
the
which
they
punish
with
the
ruine
and
vndoing
of
many
:
a
great
wickednes
,
in
them
to
neglect
the
commaunds
of
God
and
vrge
their
owne
traditions
aboue
them
.
Besides
,
if
this
be
a
command
,
it
is
not
sufficient
onely
in
the
Church
to
doe
this
,
but
it
must
be
done
in
all
places
,
at
all
times
,
without
limitation
,
wheresoeuer
&
whensoeuer
the
name
of
Iesus
soundeth
,
whether
in
Church
or
house
,
court
or
country
,
street
or
feild
,
whether
in
preaching
or
reading
,
whether
in
cursing
or
rayling
,
banning
or
swearing
,
euery
body
must
fall
vpon
their
knees
,
or
make
a
curtsy
:
for
the
text
sayth
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
knee
shall
bow
,
&
so
the
commandement
runneth
with
out
restriction
,
AND
THIS
ALSO
HAVE
NEITHER
PREISTS
NOR
PRELATS
YET
EVER
DONE
;
but
liue
and
dye
in
the
breach
of
this
command
;
which
they
so
vnmercifully
punish
others
for
.
And
were
it
so
,
that
at
the
name
of
IESVS
,
the
Prelats
did
fall
downe
vpon
their
knees
,
or
make
an
humble
curtsy
,
according
to
the
commaund
:
they
had
yet
done
but
halfe
seruice
,
which
is
as
bad
as
none
:
God
calls
for
whole
seruice
,
he
will
not
be
serued
to
the
halues
.
Now
the
text
that
sayth
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
knee
shall
bow
,
the
same
text
also
sayth
▪
that
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
tongue
shall
confesse
that
Iesus
Christ
is
the
Lord
,
to
the
glory
of
God
the
father
▪
So
that
there
is
,
an
outward
,
orall
and
audible
confession
to
be
made
with
the
mouth
,
as
well
as
an
outward
bowing
with
the
knees
:
and
the
one
is
as
necessary
&
as
much
to
be
vrged
as
the
other
:
for
in
the
text
they
are
both
ioyned
together
,
and
that
which
God
hath
joyned
together
,
I
desire
that
the
Prelats
would
not
be
so
bold
as
to
seperate
,
least
they
be
found
guilty
of
the
same
crime
of
which
they
sometimes
insimulat
the
Papists
,
for
they
accuse
them
of
Sacrilege
for
taking
away
the
cup
from
the
people
which
the
Lord
notwithstanding
hath
ioyned
with
the
bread
:
Now
if
it
be
sacrilege
in
the
Papists
to
keepe
the
cup
from
the
people
,
as
damnable
sacrilege
it
is
indeed
,
and
to
be
abhorred
of
all
men
,
It
is
greater
impiety
and
sacrilege
in
the
Prelats
to
rob
God
himselfe
of
a
part
of
his
worship
,
and
which
in
expresse
words
he
challengeth
:
and
therefore
in
them
to
seperat
the
confession
of
the
mouth
,
part
of
the
worship
that
is
there
required
,
from
the
other
of
the
knees
,
especially
when
it
is
sayd
,
with
the
mouth
man
confesseth
to
Saluation
,
is
without
doubt
a
crying
sacrilege
and
impudent
temerity
:
for
what
God
hath
ioyned
together
let
no
man
separat
.
Now
most
cleare
and
euident
,
it
is
that
the
confession
of
the
mouth
and
that
of
the
whole
congregation
,
is
as
much
required
at
the
name
of
Iesus
as
corporall
and
externall
bowing
of
the
knee
;
and
if
the
neglect
of
the
one
be
a
sin
,
and
deserue
punishment
,
the
neglect
of
the
other
is
a
sinne
,
and
deserueth
punishment
also
:
and
for
the
confession
with
the
mouth
,
to
be
ioyned
with
the
bowing
of
the
knee
at
the
name
of
Iesus
it
was
neuer
yet
practised
in
the
world
,
nor
can
possibly
be
without
such
confusion
,
as
neuer
was
brought
into
the
Church
and
such
a
perpetuall
bondage
to
all
Christians
,
as
that
of
the
Iews
was
nothing
to
it
.
For
first
what
an
interruption
of
all
duties
would
there
be
,
if
at
the
name
of
Iesus
as
often
as
it
sounds
,
the
whole
congregation
should
cry
out
a
lowd
in
the
assembly
Iesus
Christ
is
the
Lord
.
I
say
it
would
perturbat
and
interrupt
all
holy
dutyes
,
and
fill
the
world
with
confusion
:
Now
God
is
a
God
of
order
and
not
of
confusion
:
and
therefore
the
holy
Ghost
,
by
those
words
,
neuer
intended
any
outward
bodily
bowing
,
or
orall
confession
at
all
:
which
as
I
sayd
would
not
bring-in
confusion
onely
,
but
vnsupportable
bondage
,
yea
a
continuation
and
an
ineuitable
circulation
of
worship
,
which
may
be
called
the
cyclopedia
of
the
Prelats
:
for
at
the
name
of
Iesus
we
must
bow
,
and
at
the
name
of
Iesus
likewise
we
are
commanded
to
confesse
aloud
that
Iesus
is
the
Lord
,
and
this
orall
confession
calls
for
a
new
bowing
,
and
that
bowing
for
a
new
confession
;
so
that
the
one
,
cannot
be
without
the
other
,
and
hauing
once
made
a
beginning
,
they
must
goe
on
without
cessation
:
and
this
doth
necessarily
follow
from
the
text
,
if
it
be
a
command
,
and
if
the
words
be
to
vnderstood
and
taken
as
they
sound
:
for
if
bodyly
bowing
be
required
,
then
outward
confession
also
at
the
name
of
Iesus
is
required
▪
and
if
the
one
,
then
the
other
;
if
not
both
then
neither
.
So
that
if
it
be
a
command
as
the
Prelats
will
have
it
,
they
haue
euer
liued
in
the
open
breach
of
it
:
for
I
neuer
heard
them
yet
at
the
name
of
Iesus
with
their
mouthes
confesse
alowd
in
the
congregation
,
that
Iesus
was
the
Lord
;
and
therefore
for
them
to
liue
in
the
apparent
breach
of
this
soe
graat
a
commandement
,
it
is
a
great
impiety
;
and
to
serue
God
onely
with
quarter
seruice
,
and
horrible
hypocrisie
and
disobedience
.
Wherefore
I
would
perswade
them
,
for
time
to
come
,
to
leaue
off
,
to
peruert
the
holy
Scripture
,
by
putting
salse
glosses
vpon
it
,
and
laying
burdens
vpon
mens
shoulders
which
they
will
not
touch
with
one
of
their
little
fingers
,
or
els
they
may
surely
looke
that
the
Lord
will
seuerely
punish
their
damnable
hypocrisy
wickednesse
&
cruell
tyranny
they
exersice
ouer
their
brethren
.
For
can
there
be
a
greater
impiety
then
this
?
for
what
God
commands
them
by
example
and
precept
,
as
they
themselues
confesse
,
that
they
will
not
doe
.
What
he
forbids
them
that
they
will
doe
.
He
sayes
at
the
name
of
Iesus
euery
tongue
shall
confesse
alowd
that
Iesus
is
the
Lord
,
to
the
glory
of
God
the
father
,
and
that
they
should
bow
both
their
knees
.
But
this
command
they
haue
neuer
yet
obeyed
.
He
bids
them
feed
his
sheep
as
they
loue
him
,
and
sent
them
for
that
purpose
,
they
neither
feed
his
sheep
,
nor
will
let
others
feed
then
.
He
bids
them
learne
of
him
to
be
humble
and
meeke
,
and
that
they
should
not
seeke
the
first
places
and
highest
roomes
in
assemblyes
.
They
affect
nothing
but
state
,
POMPE
,
GREATNES
,
PREEMINENCE
AND
PRECEDENCY
BEFORE
OTHERS
.
Christ
also
forbids
them
to
be
Lords
of
his
inheritance
,
and
to
exercise
autority
ouer
their
brethren
,
and
tells
then
plainly
,
that
they
must
imitate
him
,
who
came
to
serue
and
not
to
be
serued
:
as
formerly
also
he
by
his
owne
example
had
instructed
them
,
flying
from
those
that
would
haue
put
worldly
dignity
and
honour
vpon
him
:
refusing
,
to
be
a
Iudge
and
diuider
of
the
inheritance
,
and
openly
before
Pilat
renounced
secular
power
and
autority
.
Notwithstanding
the
Pope
and
Prelats
rebelling
against
Christs
commands
and
prohibition
exercise
as
great
yea
greater
autority
and
domination
ouer
their
poore
brethren
,
then
any
secular
Princes
and
Lords
do
,
captiuating
them
at
their
pleasure
,
not
onely
iudging
of
them
dayly
,
and
diuiding
their
inheritances
,
but
giuing
away
all
they
haue
and
their
very
soules
to
the
deuill
,
to
the
vndoing
of
them
their
wiues
and
children
,
and
that
for
doing
their
duty
,
which
is
the
greatest
tyranny
that
euer
was
exercised
in
the
world
.
And
as
,
they
exercise
more
then
a
Lordly
power
and
authority
ouer
their
poore
brethren
,
so
they
are
attended
like
the
Lords
and
Princes
of
the
earth
,
with
mighty
retinues
,
and
are
carryed
in
coaches
with
foure
or
six
horses
a
peece
in
them
,
when
a
wheele
barrow
such
as
they
trundle
white
wine
vineger
about
the
towne
were
a
great
deale
fitter
for
them
I
wosse
▪
so
little
honour
they
deserue
for
their
seruice
towards
God
or
the
King
,
and
for
the
good
to
the
Church
and
State
,
of
all
which
they
are
the
cursed
enemies
who
thinke
nothing
that
Christ
did
,
or
spake
,
reuerent
,
timely
or
orderly
,
but
it
must
be
either
▪
altered
,
or
neglected
,
or
absolutly
reiected
by
them
and
abiured
,
and
howsoeuer
he
inioines
them
to
teach
or
preach
nothing
to
the
people
,
to
be
obserued
but
what
hee
gaue
them
in
commission
yet
neuertheles
they
preach
and
vrge
little
other
,
but
their
owne
conceits
superstitions
and
vainest
and
idlest
ceremonyes
,
and
howsoeuer
Christ
strickly
forbad
them
to
be
Lords
ouer
his
flook
as
I
sayd
before
,
yet
they
boldly
tell
him
to
his
face
,
if
he
should
be
obeyed
in
that
,
there
could
be
no
gouerment
,
and
those
that
would
vrge
the
necessity
of
his
commaunds
vpon
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospell
,
they
labour
to
ouerthrow
Monarchies
and
all
regality
,
and
therefore
they
being
a
little
wiser
,
and
knowing
better
what
belongs
vnto
the
managing
of
the
Church
and
States
,
they
thinke
it
very
fit
to
take
autority
and
domination
into
their
hands
,
and
to
obtrude
their
owne
lawes
vpon
their
brethren
and
with
greater
seuerity
and
rigor
exact
the
obseruation
of
them
:
and
with
more
bitter
seuerityes
punish
the
meanest
neglect
of
them
,
then
the
breach
of
all
Gods
commandements
,
and
this
you
cannot
deny
:
by
all
which
proceedings
of
theirs
,
it
is
more
then
apparent
,
that
the
Prelats
and
their
confederats
are
enimyes
of
Christ
and
of
his
Kingdome
,
and
therefore
by
all
such
as
loue
him
and
his
glorious
appearing
,
ought
to
be
prayed
against
.
And
so
farre
am
I
from
thinking
my self
in
an
error
in
desiring
deliuerance
from
them
,
that
I
desire
that
all
would
ioyne
with
mee
in
the
same
LETANY
feruently
and
vncessantly
praying
From
plague
pestilence
and
famin
,
from
BISHOPS
PREISTS
AND
DEACONS
GOOD
LORD
DELIVER
VS
:
by
the
agony
and
bloudy
sweat
,
by
the
crosse
and
passion
,
FROM
BISHOPS
PREISTS
AND
DEACONS
GOOD
LORD
deliuer
vs
.
By
the
precious
death
and
buryall
,
by
the
glorious
resurrection
and
ascention
,
and
by
the
comming
of
the
holy
ghost
:
FROM
BISHOPS
PREISTS
AND
DEACONS
good
Lord
deliuer
vs
.
We
Sinners
do
beseech
thee
to
heare
vs
good
Lord
.
And
so
after
my
Letany
I
come
to
your
other
exceptions
,
wherein
you
thinke
,
they
will
argue
mee
of
scandalizing
them
in
saying
they
goe
to
their
Venery
in
forma
pauperis
,
by
which
words
I
seeme
to
accuse
the
holy
tribe
of
iucontinency
:
and
this
you
thinke
they
will
make
penall
▪
bnt
for
that
,
to
say
nothing
of
my
owne
experience
,
as
I
AM
A
PHYSITIAN
,
nor
of
what
I
haue
heard
from
the
most
famous
of
that
profession
of
the
incontinency
of
those
followes
,
who
they
haue
had
vnder
their
cure
after
their
venery
,
because
I
will
not
in
any
thing
temerate
our
function
;
nor
be
like
those
beastly
Preists
that
in
their
displeasure
against
a
man
;
will
reueale
whatsoeuer
was
most
secretly
commetted
vnto
their
trust
in
deepest
familiarity
,
and
sweare
to
it
also
and
make
records
of
it
,
to
the
vndoing
of
many
a
poore
man
and
the
violating
of
all
the
lawes
and
iura
Ioues
hospitalis
to
speake
nothing
now
I
say
of
my
owne
knowledg
;
looke
but
a
little
into
their
bawdy
Courts
in
all
the
diocesses
through
the
Kingdome
,
and
there
will
scarce
passe
a
Court
day
wherethere
are
not
two
or
three
Pre●●ts
or
more
presented
for
incontinency
and
either
for
getting
their
owne
mayds
with
child
or
their
neighbours
,
or
it
may
be
more
profound
vncleannes
,
&
then
they
bring
along
with
them
their
compurgators
,
which
doe
that
office
vpon
condition
,
that
they
shall
be
compurgators
,
for
them
an
other
time
,
and
so
they
are
pronounced
rectos
in
curia
and
freed
from
all
crime
:
and
thus
they
harmonise
together
for
the
cloaking
of
one
an
others
knauery
.
Nor
to
say
nothing
of
Chaplins
in
generall
what
base
filthinesse
they
perpetrate
euen
in
the
familyes
of
illustrious
men
where
they
are
entertayned
and
too
much
honoured
,
sometime
with
their
daughters
or
allyes
,
sometime
which
their
seruants
,
or
freinds
,
of
which
the
Kingdome
cryes
shame
,
they
professedly
carrying
kissing
comfits
in
their
pockets
,
and
blush
not
to
publish
their
lesciuiousnes
being
at
any
time
demanded
what
they
smack
;
I
my self
haue
been
an
eare
witnes
of
that
good
confession
.
But
not
to
speake
of
this
,
neither
;
nor
of
their
codpisse
Simony
,
to
vse
their
owne
language
and
dialect
,
nor
of
the
suits
that
for
their
beastlinesse
haue
been
cast
on
t
of
the
HONORABLE
COVRT
OF
STARCHAMBER
:
But
to
come
to
the
High
Commission
Court
,
in
the
which
if
you
please
to
be
present
,
you
shall
heare
sometime
foure
or
fiue
in
a
terme
of
such
base
filthynesse
OF
THEIR
PREISTS
,
as
no
chast
eares
can
heare
them
,
such
things
indeed
as
the
apostle
sayes
expresly
,
they
are
not
to
be
named
amongst
Christians
:
and
such
as
the
very
prophaue
cry
shame
of
:
and
yet
it
is
wonderfull
to
see
,
with
what
grace
and
how
distinctly
and
orderly
the
Registers
will
reade
that
good
stuffe
:
sometimes
three
or
foure
houres
together
and
more
;
and
how
diligently
and
attentiuely
those
reuerend
fathers
a
whole
after
noone
together
will
heare
those
BAWDY
BVSINESSES
,
when
to
be
one
houre
in
the
pulpit
to
teach
the
people
their
duty
towards
God
and
their
neighbour
in
half
a
yeare
,
is
a
thing
very
tedious
vnto
them
.
So
that
they
cannot
take
it
in
ill
part
,
when
their
owne
Courts
do
sufficiently
proue
their
lewd
behauiour
:
which
indeed
now
is
well
knowne
through
the
Kingdome
,
insomuch
that
though
their
incontinency
with
their
debaushednes
be
proued
neuer
so
manifestly
,
they
shall
find
compurgators
and
come
well
enough
of
except
they
be
branded
with
Puritanisme
also
and
that
he
preacheth
diligently
,
then
perhaps
he
may
lose
his
place
for
it
.
But
I
say
let
his
incontinency
be
neuer
so
euidently
proued
▪
and
that
he
is
a
breaker
of
all
the
lawes
of
God
,
suspention
is
all
that
I
euer
heard
was
inflicted
vpon
such
persons
if
they
be
conformable
,
and
if
there
be
any
other
punishment
against
INCONTINENT
PREISTS
,
it
is
more
then
I
know
.
But
this
I
haue
often
obserued
,
that
others
that
haue
been
proued
men
of
an
incontaminat
life
,
of
holy
conuersation
,
diligent
Preachers
,
yet
found
fayling
perhaps
in
some
trifle
of
conformity
,
they
haue
been
depriued
ipso
facto
of
their
ministry
and
of
their
liuely-hood
and
committed
to
prison
without
either
mercy
and
compassion
:
So
much
conscience
is
punished
now
a
dayes
and
incontinency
fauoured
amongst
our
reuerend
Fathers
.
And
therefore
if
they
take
pepper
in
the
nose
for
saying
they
goe
to
their
venery
in
forma
pauperis
,
let
them
do
their
worst
,
for
I
will
neuer
feare
to
speake
the
truth
.
Now
whereas
you
suppose
they
will
make
it
an
hainous
crime
,
THAT
I
INVITE
THE
WHORE
OF
BABILON
to
my
christning
with
the
Prelats
.
I
do
conceiue
no
such
offence
in
that
businesse
:
For
I
hope
all
learned
men
and
good
Christians
are
well
assured
,
that
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
are
not
essentiall
to
baptisme
,
and
that
many
thousands
were
well
christened
in
primitiue
tymes
,
and
euery
day
are
in
many
reformed
Churches
in
our
age
without
either
.
Besides
,
he
that
shall
looke
into
the
first
originall
cause
of
them
,
will
at
this
day
see
no
need
of
them
among
vs
,
at
least
very
little
.
For
Baptisme
succeding
circumcision
,
and
as
vnder
the
old
law
children
were
not
to
be
circumcised
whose
Fathers
and
mothers
were
not
within
the
Pale
of
the
Church
and
within
the
Couenant
:
So
I
say
,
in
the
tyme
of
the
new
testament
,
baptisme
comming
in
place
of
circumcision
,
none
were
thought
fit
in
the
first
Christian
churches
being
children
to
be
receiued
to
that
holy
Sacrament
of
initiation
,
but
such
as
were
the
children
of
Christian
parents
:
for
the
promises
were
made
and
renewed
to
them
and
to
their
children
.
Herevpon
when
children
were
to
be
baptised
,
and
to
receiue
the
seale
of
the
couenant
,
Christians
being
but
few
in
comparison
of
Iews
and
Gentiles
,
and
withall
,
a
persecuted
generation
of
men
,
and
all
forced
to
liue
in
obscurity
and
stragling
one
from
an
other
and
to
haue
their
meetings
very
priuate
:
especially
in
the
great
persecutions
of
the
Church
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
whole
congregation
:
when
they
assembled
together
,
and
when
any
INFANTS
were
there
presented
vnto
them
to
be
baptised
,
there
came
in
some
two
or
three
Christian
neighbours
to
testify
vnto
the
congregation
,
that
those
children
that
were
brought
into
the
assembly
,
were
Christians
children
,
so
that
they
might
without
any
scruple
admit
them
to
the
sacrament
of
Baptisme
:
and
this
was
all
the
end
of
witnesses
in
those
times
,
and
all
,
they
did
at
the
Font
:
which
any
two
either
Iews
or
Pagan●
might
haue
done
as
well
as
Christians
for
ought
I
know
:
for
the
congregation
desired
but
to
know
,
whether
they
were
Christians
children
:
otherwise
they
admitted
them
not
to
baptisme
:
Now
a
Iew
or
a
Gentile
▪
that
was
their
enemy
,
would
not
haue
their
owne
children
incorporated
among
Christians
:
but
would
make
Christians
goe
among
their
owne
fraternity
:
therefore
as
I
suppose
their
witnes
would
easily
haue
been
admitted
among
the
best
Christians
in
this
cause
.
So
that
in
the
ORIGINALL
CHVRCHES
,
this
and
this
onely
,
was
the
vse
of
witnesses
,
which
I
say
in
our
times
,
where
we
are
knowne
all
●o
be
Christians
,
there
is
very
little
need
of
:
for
it
is
a
meere
complement
in
baptisme
:
and
to
speake
truely
and
properly
▪
none
can
better
answer
for
the
faith
and
education
of
the
child
to
be
baptised
,
then
the
father
:
neither
hath
any
better
right
to
giue
the
name
,
then
the
father
and
mother
:
who
if
we
look
▪
into
the
word
of
God
,
euer
gaue
their
owne
children
their
names
;
Abraham
gaue
I
saack
his
name
,
I
saac
gaue
his
children
their
names
;
and
so
we
shall
find
,
that
both
the
Patriarks
and
Kings
of
old
gaue
their
children
their
names
and
answered
for
them
:
neither
can
there
be
any
good
reason
giuen
,
why
Christians
should
be
inferior
in
this
matter
to
the
Iews
.
Withall
,
Baptisme
now
is
become
a
thing
so
chargable
to
Godfathers
,
and
of
so
much
expense
,
that
a
poore
man
can
scarce
get
any
to
christen
his
children
:
and
especially
a
man
as
I
am
,
not
onely
poore
but
of
whom
all
men
are
no●
afrayd
:
so
as
it
was
an
impossible
thing
for
mee
to
get
or
procure
any
GODFATHERS
:
and
therefore
I
was
constrayned
to
sue
at
this
time
,
in
my
wifes
name
,
TO
THE
PRELATS
who
had
been
the
cause
of
all
my
misery
;
to
see
,
of
they
would
now
at
last
,
shew
any
humanity
to
the
oppressed
:
and
true
it
is
.
I
ioyned
the
WHORE
OF
BABYLON
with
them
:
because
they
had
a
very
honorable
opinion
of
her
:
and
so
highly
,
magnifyed
her
,
as
they
sayd
i●
open
Court
,
that
howsoeuer
other
Church●s
had
played
the
harlot
,
yet
shee
euer
had
remayned
a
chast
matron
:
so
that
they
could
not
now
except
against
her
their
old
mistris
:
and
for
witnes
in
things
of
this
kind
;
I
thinke
the
testimony
of
any
,
good
or
bad
will
serue
:
neither
do
I
know
,
what
reason
there
should
be
to
the
contrary
:
for
the
thing
is
apparent
whether
the
sun
shines
or
no
at
noone
day
,
so
that
if
one
should
say
it
did
not
,
thousands
would
witnes
the
contrary
:
and
that
I
am
a
Christian
,
who
can
doubt
?
For
I
was
signed
with
the
signe
of
the
crosse
,
as
all
men
know
;
and
the
Prelats
haue
crossed
mee
euer
since
:
so
that
I
haue
I
thanke
them
crosses
enough
to
witnes
that
.
And
that
cities
also
vse
to
giue
names
vnto
children
,
this
dayly
experience
will
witnes
;
and
therefore
that
may
not
be
taken
ill
by
any
Catholicke
,
when
I
am
,
as
I
sayd
,
a
true
antient
CATHOLICK
AND
APOSTOLICK
ROMAN
,
and
am
resolued
to
liue
and
die
in
that
faith
in
despite
of
the
deuill
nay
in
contemptum
diaboli
et
Praelatorum
●mnium
.
For
the
exception
you
make
against
that
passage
where
I
say
writing
to
my
good
Angell
,
I
will
conclude
hereafter
,
that
we
shall
be
maryed
together
,
and
therefore
for
better
for
worse
I
remaine
his
poore
wife
,
&c.
I
must
confesse
,
I
suppose
there
will
not
be
any
so
vnwise
,
as
to
thinke
,
that
to
vse
a
word
,
that
is
metaphorically
taken
in
all
Countries
and
languages
vpon
the
like
occasion
,
and
merrily
to
expresse
it
,
should
be
blameworthy
in
mee
,
for
what
is
more
commonly
in
vse
,
then
to
say
,
one
,
being
cast
in
prison
by
his
aduersaries
that
are
implacable
,
that
he
is
marryed
to
the
place
and
jaylour
.
If
any
do
not
like
of
the
maner
of
expression
,
‛
let
him
goe
learne
his
granam
to
suck
,
and
not
mee
to
speak
,
for
that
matter
,
for
sure
I
am
,
such
a
fellow
neuer
came
where
good
literature
and
the
liberall
arts
dwelt
,
that
will
take
away
from
any
scolar
the
liberty
of
a
metaphor
,
or
make
it
an
offence
in
one
,
when
it
is
a
vertue
in
an
other
:
but
for
that
,
I
thinke
it
was
not
yours
,
but
an
others
exception
,
&
therefore
I
will
say
no
more
of
it
.
For
the
capitall
and
one
of
the
grand
ones
and
your
last
,
to
speake
a
little
of
that
,
and
so
I
will
conclude
.
You
tell
mee
I
giue
the
Prelats
vnreuerent
titles
and
names
,
which
you
thinke
they
will
make
scandalum
magnatum
and
censure
mee
for
it
.
The
truth
is
;
the
lawes
of
the
Kingdome
proclame
them
enemies
of
the
King
,
and
all
such
as
they
are
,
and
therefore
when
I
haue
authority
from
them
for
my
language
,
I
conceiue
it
may
be
tolerated
among
all
such
,
as
honour
the
King
or
loue
the
lawes
,
which
they
make
a
scorne
of
to
my
knowledg
.
But
you
are
mistaken
in
the
businesse
,
I
was
censured
and
lost
my
eares
,
the
one
at
London
the
other
at
Colchester
,
long
before
I
thought
of
my
Letany
,
as
the
whole
Countrey
can
tell
,
and
therefore
I
made
my
Letany
for
deliuerance
from
them
and
their
cruelty
:
and
in
that
I
call
a
Spade
a
Spade
and
euery
thing
as
it
deserues
,
and
so
much
the
rather
because
as
soone
as
my
apology
was
arriued
NEWCOMIN
the
PREIST
reported
in
the
country
,
that
it
should
cost
mee
my
eares
:
and
the
one
I
should
lose
in
Colchester
,
and
the
other
at
London
,
and
something
more
was
added
of
other
punishments
,
when
notwithstanding
,
I
had
made
onely
a
relation
of
the
Prelats
proceedings
against
me
in
the
high
commission
court
,
of
which
there
were
a
thousand
witnesses
.
And
what
that
Preist
reports
that
ordinarily
hapens
:
for
he
commonly
speaketh
nothing
which
commeth
not
from
the
Prelats
mouthes
:
and
that
they
say
,
they
know
well
,
they
haue
power
enough
to
bring
it
to
passe
.
When
I
was
first
hoisted
vp
into
the
high
Commission
Court
,
by
that
learned
Rector
and
that
the
purs●iuant
was
gone
downe
to
ransack
my
Study
,
and
take
away
my
papers
,
of
all
which
proceedings
I
being
absent
,
was
ignorant
:
he
then
reported
that
I
should
be
fined
a
thousand
pounds
,
which
came
to
passe
:
and
whatsoeuer
besides
he
had
foretold
,
all
that
was
executed
vpon
mee
,
as
if
he
himselfe
had
giuen
the
verdict
,
and
this
that
I
now
relate
,
is
notoriously
knowne
to
the
whole
country
.
And
as
he
then
did
giue
sentence
vpon
mee
before
iudgment
in
their
owne
Court
,
so
hath
he
now
done
in
the
starchamber
;
it
seemeth
that
all
Courts
are
theirs
and
that
all
the
NOBILITY
AND
PEERES
OF
THE
KINGDOME
are
bound
to
put
in
execution
what
euery
prophane
Preist
out
of
insolency
will
haue
,
and
others
out
of
cruelty
enioyne
them
to
do
,
vpon
otherwise
incurring
their
displeasure
:
and
of
this
cruelty
I
haue
heard
not
once
;
So
that
,
so
many
informations
out
of
the
Countrey
of
this
censure
against
mee
,
maketh
mee
dayly
expect
the
extremity
:
all
which
proceedeth
from
the
tyranny
of
the
Prelats
who
indeed
thirst
after
the
ruine
of
all
them
they
loue
not
and
those
that
truely
feare
the
Lord
,
and
this
dayly
experience
teacheth
vs
.
Now
I
say
,
when
they
fight
not
against
men
onely
,
but
God
himself
,
as
I
haue
shewed
sufficiently
;
and
when
they
trample
vpon
the
Prerogatiue
royall
,
(
pretend
what
they
will
)
and
the
lawes
of
the
Kingdome
,
which
they
are
bound
to
obey
and
defend
as
well
as
my self
being
subiects
:
it
is
the
duty
of
all
good
subiects
to
lay
open
the
wickednes
and
vngratitude
of
such
men
,
by
the
most
fittest
termes
,
they
know
how
to
expresse
it
.
Wee
see
the
scripture
is
full
of
expressions
of
this
kind
,
(
malice
and
hatred
to
their
persons
being
layd
aside
,
which
I
harbor
not
in
my
heart
against
them
:
)
I
thinke
it
me
duty
18
set
forth
their
malicious
plots
,
the
best
way
I
can
:
for
to
such
a
hight
is
their
malice
come
,
that
speak
them
faire
or
speak
then
fowle
:
nay
let
them
but
thinke
you
speake
to
them
,
though
you
meddle
not
with
them
,
it
shall
ruine
you
.
Neither
are
they
content
with
their
owne
power
in
destroying
of
poore
men
,
which
no
Court
hath
in
a
greater
measure
,
or
euer
had
,
that
I
remember
:
but
they
call
for
all
aide
still
of
the
Nobility
and
of
the
Kings
maiestie
himself
,
to
help
them
in
their
dayly
oppressings
of
poore
men
;
as
if
any
of
them
resisted
at
any
time
their
autority
:
or
as
if
they
of
themselues
without
any
other
help
could
not
ruine
all
the
honest
men
they
brand
with
the
name
of
Puritans
in
the
Kingdome
,
and
trample
vpon
them
at
pleasure
:
when
the
whol
,
realme
seeth
and
feeleth
dayly
their
tyranny
ouer
their
brethren
,
which
they
groane
most
greiuously
vnder
:
and
vnder
the
which
thy
haue
no
way
to
releiue
themselues
but
by
appealing
to
Caesar
the
Kings
most
excellent
Maiesty
,
which
was
all
the
refuge
of
poore
Christians
and
all
distressed
subiects
in
all
nations
and
ages
,
yea
vnder
heathen
Emperors
,
and
that
now
is
all
the
hope
,
of
releife
they
at
this
day
do
enioy
,
which
if
it
fayle
them
,
they
cannot
expect
from
the
Prelats
,
any
other
but
a
life
far
worse
then
death
:
for
I
haue
credibly
been
informed
,
that
they
dayly
labour
to
incense
his
gracious
Maiesty
against
such
as
complayne
of
their
exorbitant
domineering
ouer
them
,
and
would
make
the
whole
State
beleeue
that
they
are
weary
of
their
liues
,
and
the
onely
persecuted
men
that
now
liue
though
they
liue
in
all
honour
and
pompe
,
and
onely
forsooth
,
because
there
are
some
vnder
others
names
,
and
others
,
without
names
,
set
downe
the
greivances
of
Ministers
&
people
,
which
maner
of
complayning
,
I
could
wish
were
subscribed
euer
vnto
,
with
the
hand
of
the
authors
,
for
that
I
thinke
more
beseemeth
men
,
whatsoeuer
the
issue
be
:
for
they
must
dye
one
day
,
and
to
dye
for
the
honour
of
God
,
the
King
,
their
Religion
and
country
,
or
to
suffer
any
thing
for
either
of
them
it
was
euer
thought
honourable
,
and
I
call
God
to
witnes
,
the
onely
loue
and
honour
of
these
hath
made
mee
abandon
all
loue
to
my self
and
mine
,
in
comparison
,
and
made
mee
lye
downe
in
dust
and
ashes
,
whereas
,
if
I
could
haue
temporised
,
I
might
haue
enioyed
no
small
portion
in
things
of
this
life
.
But
I
say
,
I
would
earnestly
wish
,
that
the
oppressed
would
shew
his
Maiesty
indeed
by
name
and
by
the
effects
,
that
they
groane
under
a
mighty
and
vnsupportable
bondage
vnder
the
Prelats
not
knowing
which
way
euer
to
haue
releise
,
but
by
his
gracious
assistance
.
And
truely
,
if
men
would
goe
playnly
&
simply
to
worke
,
to
justify
vnto
the
Prelats
faces
,
the
things
they
accuse
them
of
,
(
as
I
euer
will
)
if
it
did
themselues
no
good
,
it
would
witnes
to
all
posterity
,
that
there
were
some
willing
,
to
abdicate
all
for
the
honour
of
God
and
the
good
of
the
Country
and
Religion
.
And
who
knoweth
but
as
Benedad
said
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
and
Iuda
,
that
they
were
mercyfull
,
and
therefore
they
might
by
humble
entreaty
find
favour
,
so
our
Christian
Kings
succeeding
them
and
the
best
of
them
in
faith
and
goodnes
,
and
being
more
mercifull
:
who
knowes
I
say
but
humble
suitors
may
happily
find
favour
at
their
princely
hands
at
last
,
and
that
,
they
truely
being
informed
of
the
calamities
their
poore
subjects
sinke
vnder
,
would
send
them
speedy
relief
especially
when
they
consider
their
owne
place
,
and
the
end
of
their
being
,
that
King
and
Princes
are
appointed
by
God
himself
to
be
nursing
fathers
and
nursing
mothers
of
his
people
:
and
therefore
they
haue
their
titles
of
gracious
Princes
,
and
Sauiours
of
their
people
:
for
,
Kings
are
Gods
vicegerents
,
to
doe
that
which
otherwise
he
might
doe
himself
,
which
is
to
releiue
the
oppressed
and
deliuer
them
from
the
mighty
and
help
them
against
their
enimies
,
and
were
wont
to
sit
in
the
gates
to
receiue
their
complaynts
,
and
this
is
the
doctrine
that
God
teachers
Princes
,
the
practice
of
which
in
common
wealths
,
is
far
better
then
Machiauells
:
and
brings
more
security
ever
to
their
crownes
and
dignities
.
And
those
that
teach
Kings
and
Princes
contrary
vnto
that
,
that
God
himself
hath
taught
them
,
are
but
sucking
Polititians
,
(
whatsoeuer
the
world
esteemes
of
them
)
and
haue
been
euer
fatall
to
all
Empires
,
as
if
you
looke
into
histories
you
shall
finde
.
If
God
himself
hath
said
that
for
oppressions
and
cruelties
a
land
shall
be
made
desolate
,
and
giues
in
charge
to
Kings
and
Princes
for
their
owne
preservation
and
the
common
good
to
remoue
those
that
oppresse
the
people
and
cause
them
to
sin
:
if
Machiauell
and
his
disciples
shall
say
the
contrary
,
that
Kings
must
favour
such
as
seeme
to
advance
Princely
dignity
,
by
what
meanes
soeuer
it
be
,
and
by
so
much
the
more
that
the
commons
complaines
against
them
,
and
that
Kings
are
not
tyed
to
any
Lawes
but
by
their
absolute
autority
and
prerogatiue
may
doe
what
they
will
,
I
will
affirme
it
vnto
the
death
,
it
is
damnable
doctrine
,
and
the
teachers
of
it
,
ought
to
be
put
out
of
office
at
least
,
be
they
Bishops
,
Preists
,
or
Deacons
.
But
concerning
such
men
,
heare
what
the
learnedst
King
that
euer
was
,
(
King
IAMES
I
meane
)
said
in
his
speech
to
the
Lords
and
commons
at
whitehall
March
21.
1609.
who
had
more
policy
in
the
paring
of
his
nayles
,
then
all
the
Grollish
Polititians
that
are
now
extant
in
the
whole
body
of
them
,
yet
he
said
,
that
those
that
perswade
Kings
to
doe
contrary
vnto
their
lawes
,
are
vipers
and
pests
,
both
against
them
and
the
common-wealth
.
And
these
are
the
words
of
a
mighty
,
learned
and
prudent
King
,
&
this
doctrine
I
haue
receiued
from
him
.
And
if
it
would
please
his
Highnes
our
renowned
King
whom
God
long
preserue
,
well
to
consider
what
his
father
says
:
his
Majesty
would
better
Perceiue
the
truth
of
〈◊〉
his
speech
for
in
that
he
spake
not
onely
like
a
King
of
wise
dome
:
but
like
an
oracle
from
heauen
.
And
indeed
Monarchies
haue
euer
been
preferred
before
all
populer
gouernments
,
because
there
is
one
euer
ready
to
whom
the
subjects
in
all
their
pressures
by
the
mighty
,
may
haue
recourse
and
from
whom
releife
,
and
whom
to
appeale
to
.
So
that
they
shall
not
need
then
allwayes
to
wayte
for
publick
meetings
,
for
the
redressing
of
greuances
:
For
this
is
a
part
of
Kingly
art
,
to
cure
these
diseases
of
state
in
time
and
obstare
principiis
miseriarum
populi
,
and
the
violation
of
their
lawes
,
for
if
the
people
be
depriued
of
the
benefit
of
the
law
and
the
appeale
to
the
King
that
great
comfort
and
releife
,
they
will
in
time
be
made
a
prey
to
the
cruelty
of
euery
oppressor
,
and
their
liues
become
untolerable
to
them
:
especially
when
it
shall
be
thought
a
State
policy
,
that
he
that
hath
the
best
faculty
of
tyrannising
and
oppressing
the
King
subjects
,
shall
bee
esteemed
the
most
seruiceable
member
in
a
common-wealth
&
the
greatest
Statist
.
And
this
is
policy
from
hell
,
the
authors
of
which
the
Lord
himself
will
confound
,
if
they
repent
not
.
But
in
the
meane
time
,
in
seeking
for
releif
and
ease
vnder
oppression
;
though
it
be
in
the
diseases
of
the
common-wealth
,
as
it
is
in
the
bodies
of
men
,
the
speedier
remedy
to
them
is
euer
the
best
:
for
the
longer
they
continue
the
more
dangerous
they
are
:
yet
as
the
patient
submits
himself
to
the
Physitian
for
the
time
of
the
Cure
:
So
much
more
ought
the
subject
to
leaue
the
Cure
to
Kings
best
opportunityes
,
as
the
onely
Physitians
of
Kingdomes
,
and
who
as
they
are
called
Gods
,
so
many
times
imitate
him
in
long
suffering
conniuing
at
and
patient
enduring
the
insolent
and
domineering
oppressors
,
and
such
as
trample
not
onely
vpon
the
people
,
but
their
owne
lawes
,
yea
vpon
their
crownes
and
dignity
,
and
yet
seeme
in
the
meane
time
,
to
be
their
faithfullest
seruants
,
and
those
that
stand
most
of
all
for
the
advancement
of
their
honour
and
glory
,
as
those
cursed
enimies
of
God
did
in
the
66
of
Isaiah
5.
Let
the
Lord
be
glorified
say
they
,
when
they
persecuted
and
oppressed
his
seruants
,
hated
them
and
cast
them
out
:
So
say
these
sycophants
,
Let
the
Kings
honour
be
mainteyned
,
when
they
meane
nothing
lesse
.
All
which
things
Kings
many
times
know
very
well
and
them
to
be
mere
hypocrites
,
and
to
doe
all
they
doe
for
their
owne
base
ends
:
and
therefore
in
their
fittest
opportunities
purge
the
Church
and
State
of
them
.
And
as
Kings
are
Gods
in
respect
of
health
safety
,
gouernment
and
wisdome
:
So
they
are
likewise
in
respect
of
invocation
onely
to
be
sought
to
and
called
vpon
of
their
subjects
in
all
times
of
the
calamities
of
oppression
next
after
God
himself
:
we
are
not
to
goe
in
our
troubles
and
oppressions
,
to
wizards
of
State
the
Kings
enimies
that
bewitch
men
with
presents
,
or
rebells
,
or
take
indirect
courses
of
insurrections
and
tumultuation
;
this
is
a
remedy
worse
then
the
disease
,
and
more
displeasing
to
God
,
and
dishonorable
to
the
subject
:
and
deserues
a
greater
yoake
of
seruitude
:
but
we
must
continue
our
humble
petitions
to
the
King
and
tell
his
Majesty
how
the
matter
stands
.
We
must
be
like
the
importunat
widow
,
and
allthough
we
meet
with
many
discouragements
,
as
those
that
came
unto
Christ
did
,
yet
we
may
not
surcease
and
be
weary
or
droue
back
;
for
Kings
are
Gods
and
are
exorable
full
of
pity
&
compassion
,
and
neuer
send
away
their
subjects
without
comfort
that
with
lowly
importunity
sollicit
them
▪
and
this
is
the
duty
of
all
good
subjects
and
such
as
will
approue
their
wayes
before
God
and
men
,
in
the
number
of
which
I
shall
desire
euer
to
liue
and
die
,
being
though
but
poore
,
as
rich
in
loyalty
,
as
any
subject
in
the
Kings
three
dominions
.
But
now
to
shut
vp
all
.
Whereas
you
think
many
will
blame
mee
for
that
I
vse
such
coorse
expressions
towards
them
:
and
it
will
fauour
of
some
inward
splene
and
study
of
reuenge
,
and
may
also
scandall
religion
,
for
they
will
say
,
they
are
all
of
this
Spirit
.
In
answer
to
that
,
I
protest
in
the
presence
of
allmighty
God
,
that
I
am
so
farre
from
either
rancour
and
hatred
toward
them
,
for
all
the
wrong
they
haue
done
mee
,
as
I
neuer
thinke
of
any
euill
towards
them
,
because
I
referre
my
cause
to
God
and
vengeance
to
him
and
cast
my self
vpon
his
prouidence
in
a
more
speciall
maner
,
chiefly
at
this
time
when
I
haue
none
other
to
depend
vpon
:
I
being
made
odious
amongst
all
men
and
hatefull
to
them
that
neuer
saw
mee
.
But
this
I
confidently
confesse
vnto
you
▪
that
I
know
more
of
the
wicked
plots
of
the
Prelats
then
any
Subiect
that
is
a
Protestant
with
in
the
Kings
dominions
,
and
you
would
say
there
were
reason
for
it
,
if
you
knew
all
.
And
before
I
haue
done
with
them
,
I
will
make
the
wickednes
not
onely
of
our
Prelats
,
but
of
all
the
Prelats
in
the
whole
world
knowne
vnto
all
Christians
Princes
and
to
al
their
Subiects
,
who
to
speake
the
truth
are
all
infinitly
abused
by
them
;
not
onely
for
the
trampling
vnder
their
feet
all
the
sucular
Peeres
vnder
them
and
the
Nobility
and
flower
of
all
Kingdomes
where
they
dwell
;
and
the
subiugating
of
their
Commons
,
but
in
fine
,
in
regard
of
the
danger
of
hauing
their
necks
brought
vnder
a
greater
yoake
of
bondage
then
euer
it
formerly
was
▪
all
which
I
will
make
appeare
vnto
all
Christian
Princes
and
vnto
all
men
as
clearly
as
the
Sun
shines
at
Noone
day
.
The
mistery
indeed
that
they
are
a
working
is
carryed
closely
,
so
that
Kings
and
Nobles
do
not
see
it
:
for
they
all
buzze
Nobles
and
Princes
in
the
eare
,
that
those
that
are
enimyes
to
the
Hierarchy
,
they
indeed
would
disthrone
Kings
and
haue
no
gouernment
and
they
would
slight
the
nobility
and
dignityes
and
ouerthrow
order
and
states
:
and
then
they
tell
a
thousand
storyes
to
them
all
to
incense
the
King
and
Nobles
against
that
poore
company
of
men
that
more
honour
dignityes
,
and
powers
in
a
Kingdome
then
euer
any
prelat
did
as
shall
be
euidently
proued
in
my
ANATOMY
of
the
pRELATS
which
I
dedicat
vnto
all
Christian
Princes
and
Common-wealths
,
for
it
concernes
them
all
,
but
especially
all
such
as
make
profession
of
the
reformed
religion
.
I
dare
say
by
that
time
you
and
all
men
shall
haue
read
that
booke
,
you
will
see
into
the
mystery
of
their
iniquity
so
clearely
,
that
you
will
affirme
there
are
no
names
bad
enough
for
them
or
sufficient
to
expresse
the
wickednes
and
treachery
of
those
empostors
.
Our
Prelats
writ
books
sometime
against
the
Pope
and
call
him
the
grand
Imposter
:
but
the
truth
is
,
the
Papists
say
that
all
such
Bishops
are
knaues
:
and
that
if
the
Pope
be
an
Impostor
they
are
greater
:
for
they
are
all
Pops
,
and
thus
much
I
haue
often
heard
them
speake
:
and
that
were
it
not
,
for
the
hindering
of
the
Catholick
cause
and
the
vniuersall
Monarchy
,
they
could
make
them
fly
without
gunpowder
,
but
they
hoped
in
time
they
would
leaue
to
write
against
the
Church
of
Rome
.
They
know
one
an
others
kneueries
,
all
which
I
haue
made
knowne
in
the
Anatomy
of
the
Prelats
which
is
in
the
hands
of
some
speciall
friends
.
The
printing
of
which
I
haue
reserued
till
my
censure
in
the
starre-chamber
,
because
I
desire
to
doe
things
methodically
and
vpon
mature
deliberation
,
and
in
such
sort
that
all
Christendome
may
haue
the
greater
cause
to
looke
into
businesses
that
so
highly
concerne
their
well
being
.
You
know
I
haue
been
a
traueller
,
and
liued
many
yeares
abroad
and
in
the
most
florishing
vniuersityes
of
Europe
and
in
many
Courts
of
great
Princes
,
and
haue
been
imployed
in
matters
of
state
and
that
often
:
and
in
all
these
places
where
I
euer
liued
,
I
carryed
my self
as
a
Christian
,
and
had
the
repute
of
them
all
,
for
an
honest
man
,
and
haue
the
publicke
testimonyes
of
all
places
where
I
dwelt
,
both
for
my
honesty
and
learning
:
and
my
bonds
are
famous
now
at
Rome
it self
,
to
my
knowledg
,
and
in
all
the
Christian
world
.
And
all
men
that
know
any
thing
know
also
that
I
suffer
not
as
an
euill
doer
:
&
they
stand
all
in
wonderfull
expectation
what
will
be
the
issue
of
this
businesse
:
for
it
astonisheth
them
,
to
see
that
I
should
be
put
in
prison
for
writing
a
booke
against
the
Pope
,
in
defence
of
Regality
,
and
because
it
had
nothing
but
scripture
in
it
.
Now
in
this
expectation
of
theirs
,
I
heare
the
Prelats
are
plotting
new
mischiefe
against
mee
,
and
haue
desired
power
and
greater
assistance
from
the
King
for
the
prosecuting
of
mee
more
seuerely
yet
,
as
if
they
had
not
enough
before
,
and
withall
that
the
Nobility
joyne
with
them
for
the
censuring
of
mee
in
the
star-chamber
for
the
cutting
of
my
eares
and
worse
:
but
I
hoope
his
Maiestie
and
the
honorable
Lords
will
more
seriously
looke
into
the
businesse
,
which
if
they
doe
,
I
am
confident
they
shall
neuer
find
mee
a
delinquent
,
but
to
haue
deserued
better
from
King
and
state
then
any
Prelat
in
England
euer
did
or
can
doe
.
But
by
the
way
.
Let
mee
tell
you
thus
much
that
whatsoeuer
the
Prelates
pretend
of
seruice
and
loue
to
the
King
and
Nobles
,
they
will
in
the
conclusion
deale
with
them
as
Polyphemus
dealt
with
Vlisses
&
his
soldiers
when
he
had
got
them
in
Antro
:
first
sayes
Vlisses
,
I
will
deuoure
these
(
meaning
the
common
soldiers
)
and
after
I
will
come
to
thee
.
And
euen
so
the
Prelats
,
when
they
haue
deuoured
the
commons
,
and
them
they
stile
by
the
name
of
Puritans
,
they
will
also
deuoure
those
graet
vlisses
and
Heroes
,
and
this
is
as
true
as
the
Sunshines
at
none
day
.
They
haue
made
prety
beginnings
of
that
good
worke
allready
if
men
could
see
it
,
and
they
and
their
creatures
haue
the
breeding
of
all
their
children
,
and
the
tutoring
of
them
at
home
and
abroad
;
and
all
their
whole
endeauour
is
,
that
the
Lords
and
Peeres
of
the
kingdome
may
be
acquaynted
with
no
solid
learning
and
that
which
concernes
either
Religion
or
Gouernment
:
but
that
they
may
haue
some
complementall
way
of
Courtship
for
entertayment
,
and
be
fit
for
pleasure
onely
;
and
this
say
the
Prelats
is
enough
for
Lords
:
so
that
if
any
of
the
Lords
creepe
into
the
knowledg
either
of
religion
or
of
states
matters
,
it
is
through
their
owne
ingenuity
and
industry
,
and
sore
against
the
Prelats
liking
.
And
hence
it
is
,
that
such
misery
at
this
day
is
in
this
kingdome
,
that
there
is
not
one
of
forty
of
the
Lords
that
vnderstandeth
to
the
purpose
an
ordinary
Latin
author
,
which
is
but
the
bark
of
learning
,
so
that
by
this
meanes
they
are
depriued
of
an
excellent
way
of
instruction
,
and
all
this
not
through
their
owne
default
,
who
otherwise
are
as
witty
and
ingenious
as
any
men
,
but
through
their
tutors
,
and
that
indeed
is
their
onely
study
to
keepe
Princes
and
Nobles
ignorant
,
and
take
them
vp
with
pleasure
,
that
they
may
get
the
gouernment
into
their
owne
hands
and
be
thought
onely
fit
to
manage
state
affayres
,
to
the
infinit
dishonour
of
the
Nobility
,
yea
Kings
themselues
,
who
if
they
would
but
set
themselues
a
little
to
their
studyes
,
and
looke
into
matters
of
Religion
and
state
,
they
would
find
little
need
of
such
cattle
as
Prelats
are
either
in
Church
or
state
,
or
if
their
were
they
would
send
them
home
to
preach
as
Ministers
should
,
nay
they
would
command
them
to
follow
that
calling
of
preaching
and
leaue
state-affayres
to
them
.
King
Iames
in
his
Apology
to
Christian
Princes
sayes
that
Churchmen
medling
with
state-affayres
,
are
the
frogs
that
came
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
that
corrupt
and
spoyle
all
things
.
And
truely
till
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
shall
dismisse
that
crew
from
their
Courts
or
send
them
about
their
owne
callings
,
they
can
neuer
promise
vnto
themselues
their
Crownes
and
dignities
any
enduring
security
,
all
which-things
I
will
make
so
euidently
appeare
in
my
Anatomy
of
the
Prelats
,
as
there
is
neuer
Boy
of
eight
yeares
old
but
shall
see
it
:
and
I
hope
by
that
good
work
to
doe
such
seruice
and
so
good
an
office
to
all
Christian
Kings
and
to
all
Common
wealths
,
to
the
whole
Church
of
God
,
and
to
the
generations
of
men
,
that
loue
peace
and
syncerity
,
as
the
very
memory
of
mee
the
miserablest
now
of
creatures
shall
be
gratefull
to
all
posterity
to
the
worlds
end
.
But
this
shall
be
reserued
till
the
sentence
of
the
star-chamber
is
passed
.
For
I
desire
to
print
the
whole
passage
of
that
Court
against
mee
,
as
I
haue
done
of
the
high
Comission
,
that
all
the
world
may
see
how
little
I
haue
deserued
such
censures
as
I
haue
and
shall
vndergoe
,
and
how
well
I
haue
merited
both
from
Church
and
state
:
and
when
the
Censure
of
the
starre-chamber
against
me
shall
come
out
,
with
the
Anatomy
of
the
Prelats
,
you
&
all
men
will
then
see
whether
the
Prelats
are
not
braue
statesmen
or
no.
But
that
I
may
notwrong
any
man
,
I
must
intreat
your
fauour
in
one
thing
,
I
know
you
are
an
eminent
man
,
&
haue
many
freinds
in
the
Court
,
I
shall
therefore
desire
of
You
this
kindnes
,
that
whatsoeuer
speeches
either
the
kings
Attorney
or
Sollicitor
or
any
other
shall
make
in
my
absence
against
mee
,
that
it
may
be
taken
in
short
hand
and
sent
mee
forth
with
,
that
I
may
translate
it
into
Latin
as
it
commeth
,
with
my
answer
to
it
and
replication
,
so
that
I
may
haue
Bill
and
answer
and
all
things
ready
for
the
presse
,
at
the
day
of
my
Censure
:
and
that
at
that
day
,
there
may
likewise
be
as
many
,
as
possible
can
gather
speeches
that
may
take
their
declamations
from
their
mouthes
seuerally
,
for
I
resolue
to
translate
them
all
into
Latine
,
and
to
coment
vpon
them
,
what
Lords
soeuer
they
be
.
And
I
doubt
not
,
but
to
make
it
the
famousest
story
that
euer
was
agitated
in
any
Court
of
iudicature
,
since
Paul
appeared
before
Nero.
But
it
is
time
now
to
draw
to
an
end
.
I
heare
that
the
Attorney
vniuersall
with
the
Kings
Sollicitor
are
now
a
coming
to
examine
mee
,
and
intend
speedily
to
haue
my
eares
.
I
am
onely
sory
I
haue
no
more
eares
,
nor
liues
to
lose
for
the
houour
of
God
,
my
King
and
Religion
:
but
what
should
I
greiue
that
I
haue
no
more
liues
and
eares
to
lose
:
I
know
God
accepteth
of
the
least
things
so
they
be
insyncerity
offered
vnto
him
:
to
whose
gratious
perseruation
I
commend
you
,
and
thinke
this
for
the
present
sufficient
to
haue
answered
to
your
exceptions
against
my
Letany
and
for
the
auoyding
of
others
misinterpretings
of
my
honest
intentions
.
Fare
you
well
.
