moouing

doo
earnestly
pray
and
instantly
require
al
true
English
men
of
euery
degrée
as
they
tender
the
safty
of
their
soules
and
bodies
,
to
giue
attentiue

,
and
wel
to
marke
the
whole
discourse
of
this
my
purposed
treatise
the
rather
because
it
is
of
waight
&
of
most
great
importance
,
touching
the
weale
publique
in
this
litle
Isle
of
England
,
and
preseruation
of
our
most
royall
and
gratious
Quéene
Elizabeth
,
and
next
of
vs
all
English
ingenerall
,
our
countrie
,
wherein
we
are
bred
and
borne
,
our
wifes
,
children
,
kinsfoolkes
,
and
posteritie
,
whereof
we
should
haue
a
most
cheefe
and
especiall
care
,
&
regard
,
especially
and
aboue
all
of
religion
,
which
concerneth
our
soules
to
liue
here
,
and
euer
in
the
world
to
come
.
In
al
which
by
God
his
grace
I
intend
to
vse
perspicuity
,
to
be
as
briefe
as
the
vrgent
occasion
of
so
necessary
a
cause
shal
suffer
me
:
yet
pretermitting
many
things
,
which
otherwise
should
haue
bene
touched
,
to
auoid
tediousnes
and
prolixitie
in
matter
now
apparant
already
,
and
many
yéeres
alredy
past
made
manifest
vnto
the
whole
world
.
Consider
O
noble
Eugland
that
thou
hast
enimes
that
hate
thée
deadly
,
that
go
about
as
much
as
in
them
is
to
work
thy
destruction
,
Consider
how
the
professors
of
the
word
of
God
els
wher
in
Europe
,
far
hence
,
and
those
that
dwell
next
almost
vnto
vs
be
manaced
,
vexed
,
and
persecuted
,
&
with
all
rigor
and
crueltie
from
time
to
time
afflicted
,
euen
to
death
:
the
malice
whereof
procéedeth
of
causes
of
long
time
afore
growen
,
hereafter
specified
,
and
fore warned
in
holie
Scriptures
.
Ponder
déeply
and
call
to
minde
with
your selues
,
Nos
incidimus
in
tempora
periculosa
.
We
are
fallen
into
the
perillous
time
.
Nos
sumus
in
quos
fines
Seculorum
deuenerunt
.
We
be
those
vpon
whom
the
ends
of
the
world
be
come
.
The
tokens
thereof
be
plaine
and
manifest
,
told
afore
by
our
Sauiour
and
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
which
be
these
,
Nation
shall
rise
against
nation
,
and
Realme
against
Realme
,
then
shall
they
put
you
to
trouble
,
and
shall
kil
you
,
and
yee
shall
be
hated
of
all
Nations
for
my
names
sake
.
And
then
shall
many
be
offended
,
and
shal
betray
one
another
.
&c.
So
the
time
is
certaine
that
the
day
of
iudgment
is
at
hand
.
But
of
the
day
and
hower
(
saith
Christ
)
knoweth
no
man
,
no
not
the
Angels
of
heauen
,
but
my
father
onely
.
The
Apostle
S.
Paule
in
his
2
Chap.
of
his
Epistle
of
the
Thessalomans
,
Let
no
man
deceiue
you
by
any
meanes
.
For
the
Lord
shall
not
come
,
except
their
come
a
departing
first
,
and
that
the
sinfull
man
be
opened
,
the
sonne
of
perdition
,
which
is
an
aduersary
and
is
exalted
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
or
that
is
worshipped
so
that
he
doth
sit
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
boasting
himselfe
to
be
God
.
Remember
yee
not
that
when
I
was
yet
with
you
I
told
you
these
things
.
And
now
you
know
what
withholdeth
,
euen
that
he
might
be
vttered
&
reuealed
at
his
time
.
For
the
mistery
of
iniquitie
doth
alreahy
work
.
&c.
Againe
in
the
10
Chap.
of
S.
Mathew
,
these
be
Christ
his
words
.
The
brother
shal
deliuer
vp
the
brother
to
death
,
and
the
father
the
sonne
,
and
the
children
shall
arise
against
theic
fathers
and
mothers
,
and
shal
put
them
to
death
,
And
ye
shal
be
hated
of
all
for
my
names
sake
.
But
he
that
endureth
to
the
end
shall
be
saued
.
Now
considering
that
these
be
the
latter
daies
,
&
that
the
end
of
the
world
is
hard
at
hand
,
by
these
tokens
manifest
and
dayly
to
be
séene
euery
where
in
Christendom
before
our
eies
,
let
vs
diligentlie
search
of
whence
this
variance
and
deadly
discorde
sowen
and
sprong
vp
through
all
Europe
is
deriued
,
Rome
,
whom
Saint
Paule
as
ye
haue
heard
now
before
,
couertlie
describeth
to
be
Antechrist
,
the
Son
of
perdition
,
which
is
exalted
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
.
I
beséech
you
gentle
Readers
bée
yee
indifferent
Iudges
,
euen
as
the
trueth
of
God
his
word
shall
leade
you
,
&
as
the
interpretation
vpon
holie
Scripture
,
made
and
set
downe
by
the
ancient
&
approoued
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
euen
from
the
Apostles
time
,
til
1000
yeares
past
shal
direct
you
:
when
the
Pope
rideth
from
his
castle
to
S
Peters
Church
in
Rome
,
and
is
caried
(
sitting
in
a
Chaire
)
aloft
by

Abasso

which
is
to
say
Bow

bend

,
or
knéele
downe
,
not
so
much
to
the
Pix
as
to
the
Pope
.
Is
not
here
the
Bishop
of
Rome
exalted
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
and
aboue
the
God
in
the
box
?
For
the
Popes
doctrine
teacheth
men
to
cal
the
Sacramental
bread
God
,
when
they
term
it
their
Maker
,
&
when
the
make
it
a
Sacrifice
propiciatory
for
the
quick
and
the
dead
,
in
their
Masses
,
when
they
reiterate
day
by
day
on
the
Altar
that
oblatation
once
offered
vpon
the
crosse
once
for
all
,
for
filthy
lucre
and
gaine
,
as
in
trentals
of
Masses
,
&c.
Doth
not
the
Pope
boast
himselfe
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
Rome
,
forgiueth
(
vpon
mony
taken
)
horrible
murders
,
Super

Basiliscum

Thou
shalt
goe
vpon

venemous

and
Adder
,
the
yoong
Lion
and
Dragon
shalt
treade
vnder
thy
feete
:
and
applieth
them
with
a
Sathanicall
pride
vnto
himself
,
and
to
those
that
from
time
to
time
●it
in
his
Chaire
,
which
is
horrible
basphemie
.
But
here
I
will
vse
a
litle
digression
from
the
man
to
the
certaine
place
of
his
habitation
,
Iohn
,
doth
●●te
and
signifie
vnto
vs
the
Cittie
of
Rome
in
Italie
.
First
it
is
vsuall
in
holie
Scripture
to
set
downe
some
word
by
some
Trope
to
signifie
a
thing
turned
away
from
that
which
it
properlie
betokeneth
.
And
it
is
vsed
in
writing
,
when
an
argument
commeth
in
handeling
,
out
of
which
may
grow
either
vehement
suspition
or
feare
of
an
imminent
danger
.
In
this
sort
S.
Paule
.
2.
Tim.

sayeth
himselfe
to
haue
bene
deliuered
out
of
the
mouth
of
a
Lion
:
meaning
by
naming
the
Lyon
,
the
cruel
Prince
Nero.
That
in
this
place
the
sence
is
,
Nero
to
be
taken
for
the
Lion
:
The
ancient
Doctours
of
the
Church
,
as
Hierome
vpon
the
life
of
Paule
,
Chrisostomus
,
Theophilactus
,
Aquinas●
Lyranus
,
Interpreters
vpon
holie
Scriptures
,
doe
agree
&
consent
.
By
like
Trope
our
Lord
Christ
in
the
13
of
Luke
,
calleth
the
King
Herode
,
by
the
name
of
a
For.
Ignatius
an
holie
writer
in
the
Primititiue
Church
,
vsing
this
maner
of
spéech
,
saith
that
he
he
himself
was
compassed
about
with
ten
Leopards
,
which
Ignatius
afterwarde
interpreteth
to
be
ten
cruel
souldiors
to
bring
him
capti●e
to
Rome
.
Thus
as
S.
Paule
couertlie
by
the
name
of
a
Lion
would
haue
to
be
vnderstanded
Nero.
Our
Lord
Iesus
by
the
name
of
For
meaneth
Herod
.
And
Ignatius
by
the
Leopardes
tearmeth
Souldiors
.
So
the
authour
of
the
Reuelation
would
haue
Rome
to
bee
knowen
by
the
vo●able
of
Babylon
.
With
this
also
agreeth
S.
Peter
,
Rome
,
saieth
thus
.
The
Congregation
which
is
at
Babylon
saluteth
you
.
Here
note
that
vpon
this
place
of
Peter
,
as
well
the
olde
and
ancient
Interpreters
,
as
the
newe
doe
agrée
that
the
word
Babilon
is
set
downe
for
Rome
,

testifieth

other
,
which
heere
to
rehearse
,
it
were
to
long
.
And
so
much
the
more
this
hath
a
resemblance
of
truth
,
that
the
Apostles
had
reueiled
vnto
them
many
and
sundry
things
concerning
the
latter
times
:
of
the
falling
of
the
Romaine
Empire
:
of
the
reueiling
of
the
acurssed
sonne
Antichrist
:
of
the
abhomination
,
standing
in
the
holy
place
.
All
which
,
the
Apostles
set
out
as
it
were
shadowed
somewhat
darkly
,
as
it
is
left
vnto
vs
in
writing
,
and
may
be
séene
in
the
24.
of
Mathew
,
2.
Thessalonians
.
In
which
two
places
,
there
is
spoken
of
these
matters
,
as
it
were
by
points
,
and
prickes
,
rather
than
by
any
oopen
speach
.
Againe
,
the
same
Papias
taught
afterward
in
Alexandria
,
and
had
bene
the
scholler
of
S.
Iohn
the
Apostle
,
whervpon
we
should
be
perswaded
that
he
must
néeds
heare
the
same
interpretation
of
his
maister
,
concerning
Rome
to
be
named
by
Babylon
,
and
that
the
same
interpretation
was
as
well
in
the
Churches
of
Asia
,
where
S.
Iohn
preached
as
in
Europa
,
where
S.
Peter
taught
.
And
least
peraduenture
any
might
doubt
,
that
no
good
and
iust
testimony
may
be
brought
out
of
the
ancient
and
approoued
writers
of
the
Primitiue
Church
,
succeeding
next
to
the
Apostles
age
,
you
shal
hear
the
opinion
of
those
which
were
next
to
the
Apostles
.
Tertullian

,
bereth

of
Rome
,
in
that
it
is
great
,
proud
in
force
,
and
a
beater
downe
of
the
saints
.
Who
will
now
doubt
,
but
that
the
said
Tertullian
heard
this
at
the
Apostles
mouthes
.
Also
Origines

an
euident
manifestation
of
this
:

about

of
our
Lord

hee
witnesseth
,
that
many
beside
him
in
his
time
and
age
,
did
interpret
the
daughter
of
Babilon
,
which
should
be
made
humble
,
not
to
be
Babylon
in
Caldea
,
but
to
be
the
city
of
Rome
in
Italie
,
which
is
called
specially
by
the
name
of
Babilon
in
the
Reuelation
of
S.
Iohn
,
and
in
the
Epistle
of
S.
Peter
,
&
all
threatnings
which
be
spoken
by
the
Prophet
against
Babilon
to
be
referred
to
the
distruction
of
the
city
of
Rome
.
Likewise
the
said
Hierom
,
in
a
certaine
Epistle
to
Assella
,
complaining
of
the
corrupt
maners
of
the
city
of
Rome
,
calleth
Rome
by
the
name
of
Babilon
.
Againe
,
the
said

,
in
the
end
of
his
2
▪
booke
against
Iouinian
▪
turning
his
oration
to
the
city
of
Rome
,
I
speake
vnto
thée
(
saith
he
)
which
hath
blotted
out
the
blasphemy
written
in
thy
forhead
,
by
the
confessing
of
Christ
.
O
mighty
city
,
lady
of

,
interpret
thy

by
the

Thou

by
those
that

written
afore

declareth
many
things
to
be
like
in
Rome
and
Babilon
:
for
in
his
booke
De
ciuitate
Dei
,
the
fifth
Booke
,
and
second
Chapter
,
he
calleth
Babilon
the
first
Rome
.
In
his
18
book
,
and
22.
chap.
he
compareth
Rome
with
the
city
of
the
wicked
whi●●h
Cain
builded

The
one
saith
he
was
builded

his

The

was

Againe
Orosius

Spanish
writer

sheweth
that

But
perchance
some
to
this
afore
may
make
obiection
,
alledging
,
that
at
that
time
when
these
ancient
writers
did
write
,
Rome
was
gouerned
by
most
cruell
Emperours
,
which
persecuted
horibly
all
good
Christians
,
inflicting
vpon
them
all
torments
and
most
sharpe
death
.
But
now
Rome
is
no
more
gouerned
by
Emperours
that
be
wicked
,
and
thirst
the
blood
of
the
godly
,
but
Rome
is
vnder
the
iurisdiction
of
the
holie
Pope
,
and
for
that
cause
to
be
reuerenced
and
honored
of
all
.
Therefore
if
any
man
should
now
say
in
these
our
daies
that
Babylon
mentioned
in
the
Apocalips
might
betoken
Rome
,
no
sufficient
cause
or
ground
of
matter
were
to
confirme
or
corroborate
his
assertion
to
be
found
.
But
the
answere
to
confute
this
is
ready
of
great
force
and
validitie
,
and
not
to
be
conuinced
.
Albeit
wicked
Emperors
euen
from
the
Apostles
time
and
long
after
,
Hierom
,
who
liued
about
380
after
Christ
,
and
after
S.
Augustin
and
Orosius
whose
ages
were
during
the
raignes
of
Iouinian
,
Valentinian
,
Gratian
,
and
Theodosius
Emperours
,
who
not
onely
fauoured
,
but
greatly
aduanced
Christian
religion
,
did
in

Rome
,
by
the
name
of
Babylon
,
then
gouerned
rather
by
Popes
and
Bishops
,
as
it
is
knowen
,
than
by
temperall
princes
.
And
here
is
further
to
be
noted
,
that
these
Christan
Emrours
aforesaid
ruled
and
made
their
abode
in
Constantinople
,
and
the
Popes
administred
all
at
Rome
,
by
litle
and
litle
mal
engin
,
deceit
,
sinister
practise
with
hypocrisie
,
counterfeit
humblenes
now
and
then
by
force
enterminled
,
encroched
not
to
bee
onely
equall
,
but
chalenged
to
haue
superioritie
,
not
vpon
the
Cleargie
onely
,
but
ouer
Emperors
and
kings
,
to
make
lawes
at
their
lust
&
pleasure
,
to
wage
war
,
make
battel
,
yea
,
to
tread
down
vnder
their
féet
the
whole
world
,
if
they
might
bring
it
to
passe
.
All
hitherto
said
and
written
doth
the
testimony
of
the
Church
of
Leodia
in
the
low
countries
confirme
,
set
down
.
about
the
year
of
our
Lord
1100
against
Pascalis
the
second
of
that
name
,
then
Pope
.
Rome
,
because
at
that
time
Rome
was
spotted
with
all
kind
of
Idolatrie
,
sin
,
and
filthines
.
And
now
my
sorrow
doth
interpret
vnto
me
that
S.
Peter
terming
with
a
spirit
of
prophesie
,
the
congregation
gathered
together
in
Babylon
,
did
foresée
the
confusion
of
dissention
,
by
the
which
the
Church
is
at
this
day
tornin
sunder
:
for
although
the
Church
be
in
Babylon
of
the
world
,
yet
it
ought
to
be
gathered
by
brotherly
vnanimity
.
And
a
litle
after
Esay
saith
,
Babylon
my
welbeloued
is
turned
to
me
into
a
miracle
:
but
I
say
Rome
my
beloued
is
turned
to
me
into
a
miracle
,
yea
what
is
so
marue●lous
,
yea
what
is
so
miserable
.
Dauid
saw
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
standing
with
a
drawn
sword
ouer
Ierusalem
:
we
,
the
daughters
of
the
Romish
Church
behold
,
we
sée
the
Bishop
there
,
which
is
or
should
be
the
Angell
of
God
,
ready
with
a
drawn

ouer
the

Dauid
praied
that
the

might
not

:
our
Angel
reching
to
the
Earl
of
Flanders
the
sword
,
praieth
that
we
may
be
slaine
:
wher
many
mo
things
touching
the
crueltie
of
Babylon
be
adiected
in
their
place
,
whosoeuer
listest
to
search
and
read
the
history
at

.
About
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1200
,
S.
Barnard
the
Monke
liued
in
great
estimation
with
Kings
and
Princes
,
This
S.
Barnard
in
his
bookes
written
to
Pope
Eugenius
,
doth
rehearse
and
carpe
so
many
and
such
crimes
,
both
of
the
Bishops
,
and
Citizens
of
Rome
,
how
many
and
such
as
none
of
the
old
prophets
is
read
to
haue
obiected
to
the
Babilonians
,
which
to
〈◊〉
tediousnes
here
I
omit
to
rehearse
,
who
so
is
〈◊〉
to
seée
his
words
,
the
books
be
extant
at
this
time
though
written
400
year
past
&
more
.
Likewise
Petrus
Iohannes
Pyranensis
about
1330
did
openly
in
schole
teach
,
that
as
the
Pope
was
Antichrist
:
So
no
other
Church
but
the
Romish
to
be
vnderstood
by
the
name
of
the
whore
of
Babylon
.
Also
Wickliefe
of
England
,
and
Iohn
Hus
,
and
Hierome
of
Bohemia
,
taught
&
affirmed
the
same
doctrine
of
the
Pope
,
and
of
Rome
:
the
first
of
these
thrée
,
his
bones
burned
18
yéeres
after
he
had
bene
dead
:
the
other
two
brent
aliue
,
yet
consenting
in
opinion
to
all
the
godly
Fathers
and
Doctors
in
these
points
that
be
aboue
rehearsed
.
Now
it
hath
bene
sufficiently
spoken
with
the
approoued
testimo-of
euery
age
euen
from
the
Apostles
time
,
and
the
opinion
and
sentence
of
the
best
learned
cited
thereto
touching
the
place
,
that
Rome
is
signified
by
Babilon
.
Now
let
vs
return
againe
to
the
ruler
of
this
Babylon
and
his
tragicall
actions
who
putteth
on
him
the
vizard
of
piety
and
is
altogether
vnder
his
Maske
impiety
it selfe
.
This
impudent
and
shameles
man
of
Rome
,
yea
rather
beast
he
may
be
called
,
which
doth
the
iniuries
afore
rehersed
to
our
Lord
Christ
:
what
presumeth
not
he
to
aduenture
vpon
,
daily
among
his
inferiors
for
equals
hee
will
haue
none
,
and
both
Emperor
and
King
professing
Christ
,
within
Europe
,
he
hath
made
subiect
vnto
him
,
and
ready
at
●all
to
do
his
will
and
command●ment
.
He
maketh
War
himselfe
:
he
prouoketh
one
prince
with
fire
&
sword
to
assault
another
:
he
sheddeth
innocent
blood
,
in
persecuting
those
that
dare
or
wil
open
their
mouth
against
him
.
Hée
maintaineth
Subiects
so
rebell
against
their
Soueraigne
Lords
&
kings
:
he
is
the
firebrand
to
set
an
outrage
of
burning
in
al
parts
of
Christendome
:
he
is
a
deadlie
poison
which
hath
infected
the
church
of
God
with
notorious
dregs
Did
not
the
Pope
stir
&
prouoke
Sigismond
the
Emperor
and
the
noble
Princes
of
Germany
with
force
of
armes
to
inuade
the
realm
of
Bohemia
?
Upon
what
ground
or
occation
?
Truly
because
Iohn
Hus
and
Ierome
of
Prage
,
had
by
preaching
of
the
word
of
God
,
began
to
reueale
the
son
of
perdition
in
the
same
country
of
Bohemia
.
The
Pope
therfore
féeling
himselfe
touched
to
the
quicke
,
endeuoured
as
much
as
in
him
did
lie
to
destroy
,
and
extirpate
all
the
Bohemians
,
First
Hus
&
Ierom
were
cruelly
burned
,
and
yet
the
desire
of
the
people
to
the
knowledge
of
true
religion
thereby
not
quenched
,
but
inflamed
and
kindled
the
more
.
What
ensued
of
this
,
with
huge
power
and
most
puissant
〈◊〉
the
Bohemians
were
inuaded
two
yeares
together
.
And
both
the
times
with
wonderful
courage
&
prowes
of
the
Bohemians
,
the
assault
makers
were
repulsed
,
and
put
back
to
shameful
flight
by
the
miraculous
power
&
mighty
hand
of
God
,
who
fought
for
them
,
&
did
set
them
at
rest
&
peace
,
in
despite
of
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
his
Cardinals
&
cleargie
.
I
omit
here
for
breuities
cause
,
to
inferre
manie
examples
,
how
the
Popes
from
age
to
age
moouing
war
,
haue
procured
by
their
Legates
and
messengers
,
one
Prince
to
wage
battel
on
his
next
brother
and
Prince
adioining
,
and
when
the
Armies
were
readie
to
encounter
and
méete
,
then
would
he
colourably
as
though
no
fault
were
in
hym
,
Friers
and
other
messengers
were
despatched
betweene
,
perswading
peace
and
reconcilement
.
The
Chronicles
in
euerie
Realme
can
sufficientlie
testifie
the
same
.
And
therfore
I
remit
those
that
be
desirous
to
know
further
herein
to
the
said
Chronicles
.
This
I
say
and
affirme
boldlie
,
that
it
was
the
Pope
that
did
animate
and
set
on
Robert
Earle
of
Flanders
against
Henry
the
fourth
Empero●r
.
It
was
he
the
Pope
that
maintained
the
warres
with
ten
thousand
Italians
and
gaue
money
to
pay
them
wages
on
the
behalfe
of
the
Emperor
Charles
the
fift
against
the
Duke
of
Saxony
and
the
noble
Pée●es
of
Germany
,
because
the
said
Pope
would
haue
had
the
light
of
the
Gospell
darkened
,
which
at
that
time
had
sprong
vppe
from
the
first
preaching
of
Luther
,
séeking
to
bring
ignorance
in
place
againe
,
though
it
wer
with
the
shedding
of
Christian
blood
,
and
vtter
vndooing
and
spoile
of
many
both
men
,
women
,
and
children
.
It
is
he
the
Pope
,
that
to
his
great
ignominy
and
shame
for
euer
,
cherished
a
ranke
Traitor
named
Stukeley
a
man
of
euill
life
and
conuersation
,
Ireland
,
God
confoundeth
the
deuises
and
purposes
of
the
wicked
,
and
maketh
them
frustrate
,
contrary
to
their
expectation
.
What
followed
?
Stukeley
when
he
had
sailed
from
Italie
to
the
Bay
of
Portugale
,
and
there
hearing
that
the
King
Sebastian
was
going
ouer
into
Barbary
with
all
royall
preparation
of
warre
,
offered
his
seruice
to
the
said
King
not
for
any
zeale
or
good
will
but
vpon
a
subtill
pretence
,
that
Warres
there
ended
,
hee
woulde
borrowe
a
summe
of
money
of
the
King
,
the
better
afterwards
to
goe
through
with
his
enterprises
in
Ireland
.
In
the
battell
in
Barbarie
,
the
King
of
Portugall
,
the
blacke
King
with
others
,
and
this
Stukley
also
was
slaine
.
This
you
may
sée
that
God
sent
a
curst
Cow
short
hornes
,
and
Ireland
was
deliuered
and
England
also
from
a
most
cruell
enemie
and
Traytor
,
though
he
died
a
fairer
death
then
he
should
haue
done
,
or
had
deserued
,
yet
such
was
the
malice
of
the
Pope
,
this
enterprise
began
by
Stukley
,
was
afterward
prosecuted
by
the
sayd
Antechrist
of
Rome
,
who
first
sent
Buls
full
all
impiety
,
as
it
were
with
a
bayt
to
allure
the
wilde
Irish
to
rebellion
,
and
armed
shippes
and
Souldiors
to
infringe
the
publike
peace
there
,
Gray
,
Lord
Deputie
of
Ireland
,
atchieuing
the
victorie
vpon
the
Pope
,
his
Italians
and
Spaniardes
,
the
fourth
day
after
they
came
to
the
place
where
these
Strangers
had
entrenched
themselues
in
good
order
of
war.
He
remarke
well
gentle
Reader
,
the
great
goodnes
and
mercy
of
God
towards
our
most
gratious
Quéene
Elizabeth
,
and
her
realme
of
England
and
Ireland
.
Note
the
wisedome
,
forwardnes
,
and
diligence
,
of
the
Noble
man
,
chief●
Captaine
,
and
General
of
her
highnes
Armie
.
How
he
spared
not
to
catch
hold
of
oportunitie
,
in
the
colde
and
deepe
of
the
winter
:
according
to
the
saying
:
Principijs
obsta
,
&
arripienda
est
occatio
.
For
if
they
,
with
the
badge
of
the
crosse
Keies
of
their
brests
,
might
haue
bene
suffered
to
harbour
the
winter
time
there
,
this
small
sparke
would
haue
growen
to
a
bigger
flame
,
and
not
so
easilie
haue
beene
quenched
.
But
the
Lords
of
England
,
be
so
hot
with
their
souldiers
vnder
them
,
that
let
the
enemies
make
triall
when
they
will
,
let
them
trust
to
it
,
they
shal
be
fought
withal
,
if
they
attempt
to
come
on
land
,
before
the
swimming
growen
of
the
Sea-sicknes
bee
quite
out
of
their
heads
.
The
Pope
can
and
will
,
Now
take
in
few
woordes
,
Séeke
and
sée
the
writer
Raphaell
Volaterranus
,
Rome
.
A
man
not
caring
(
so
hee
might
haue
his
will
)
whether
it
were
right
or
wrong
,
raising
warre
for
euerie
trifling
matter
,
selling
benefices
and
offices
for
mony
,
rouling
himselfe
middle
among
harlots
.
What
was
Innocentius
the
eight
,
What
was
Alexander
?
Hoc
tumulo
Dormit
Lucretia
nomi●●e
,
sed
re
Thais
,
Alexandrifilia
,
Sponsa
,
nurus
,
In
this
graue
sleepes
Lucretia
,
so
men
her
cal'd
by
name
,
Yet
Thais
she
by
maners
might
,
and
eke
be
clipt
for
fame
.
Daughter
she
was
to
Alexander
the
Pope
,
and
sometime
wife
,
And
married
was
to
bastard
his
,
marke
here
the
fathers
life
.
This
Alexander
created
of
his
bastard
sonnes
,
not
without
great
ignominy
to
true
Nobilitie
,
Earles
,
Dukes
,
and
marquesses
and
did
beare
the
charge
of
the
Armie
,
of
the
which
,
is
sonne
was
generall
.
Of
this
sort
and
facultie
was
Iulius
the
second
,
and
likewise
also
like
to
these
,
And
to
these
is
annexed
,
Rome
,
and
of
his
natiue
soile
,
the
city
of
Florentia
.
And
after
these
,
succéedeth
Paulus
tertius
,
Heere
,
(
the
place
moouing
me
thereto
)
let
such
as
bee
addicted
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
beware
in
season
,
that
they
be
no
longer
seduced
,
and
take
héed
and
learne
to
knowe
the
bad
from
the
good
,
by
that
token
which
our
Lorde
Christ
himselfe
gaue
,
saying
:
Ex
fructibus
eorurn
cognoscetis
eos
.
Ye
shall
know
them
by
their
fruits
.
These
Popes
afore
rehearsed
,
I
am
bere
further
to
vse
a
few
wordes
to
the
Papistes
,
How
holy
the
Romish
Church
is
,
let
indifferent
men
iudge
,
where
such
good
liuers
as
the
Pope●
aboue
mencioned
be
the
chiefe
a●●ors
in
the
plaie
.
So
the
word
Catholike
maketh
quite
against
the
papists
,
who
would
haue
the
true
church
at
Rome
,
&
depending
vpon
the
same
Romish
church
,
as
tied
to
one
certaine
place
,
where
many
of
the
Bishops
of
the
same
church
haue
bin
,
&
at
this
day
be
as
wicked
and
cruell
as
were
in
times
past
.
Phalaris
Dionysius
,
Nero
,
or
Diocletian
.
Nam
vitiato
capite
viti●ntur
&
membra
corporis
.
The
head
being
corrupt
,
No
man
can
make
attonement
for
his
brothers
soule
.
It
is
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
the
son
of
God
,
that
clenseth
vs
from
all
sin
,
as
witnesseth
S
Iohn
,
in
the
first
Chapter
of
his
Epistle
:
Againe
,
he
the
same
Apostle
saith
in
the
same
Chapter
.
If
we
acknowledge
our
sins
,
he
(
that
is
Christ
)
is
faithfull
aend
Iust
to
forgiue
vs
our
sinnes
,
and
to
cleanse
vs
from
all
vnrighteousnes
.
And
our
Lord
himselfe
giueth
vs
this
lesson
:
Venite
ad
me
omnes
qui
laboratis
,
&
onerati
estis
,
&
ego
reficiam
vos
.
Come
vnto
me
all
yee
that
Labour
and
are
heauie
laden
and
I
will
refresh
you
.
It
is
he
our
Lord
Christ
that
hath
borne
our
sinnes
,
and
paied
the
ransome
for
them
vpon
the
Crosse.
Now
brethren
,
wil
you
trust
in
the
Popes
Pardons
,
who
hath
no
more
authority
,
than
any
brother
Bishop
or
Minister
hath
to
forgiue
sins
,
and
to
pronounce
absolution
to
them
that
be
hartely
penitent
,
by
authoritie
giuen
to
the
Apostles
generally
,
Mathew
18.
and
Iohn
10.
Than
Peter
being
but
one
,
had
it
not
alone
.
But
if
if
it
were
spoken
to
him
alone
,
in
Mathew
,
yet
it
doth
not
restraine
the
generall
grant
,
made
to
others
in
the
places
cited
before
.
Quorum
remiseritis
peccata
&c.
Whose
sinnes
yee
shal
forgiue
,
they
shal
be
forgiuen
,
&
quorum
retinueritis
,
retenta
sunt
:
For
those
words
are
spoken
in
the
plurall
number
,
whereby
all
Priests
claime
true
interest
in
absoluing
.
For
will
you
hear
what
the
Priests
vtter
after
auricular
confession
hard
at
any
mans
hand
,
and
iudge
your selfe
.
Dominus
Iesus
qui

:
(
which
is
to
say
)
Our
Lord
Iesus
,
which
is
the
highest
Bishop
absolue
thee
from
all
thy
sinnes
,
and
I
by
the
auctority
committed
vnto
me
absolue
thee
in
the
name
of
the
Father
,

,
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
Amen
.
Where
is
sinnes
reserued
in
the
Canons
to
the
Pope
onelie
to
forgiue
?
Why
practiseth
hee
to
send
abroad
his
pardons
in
parchment
,
with
leaden
seales
for
money
?
where
is
his
warrant
in
holy
Scripture
?
wherevpon
our
Sauiuiour
Christ
saith
in
the
fiftéenth
of
S.
Mathew
.
In
vanum
colunt
me
homines
docentes
doctrinas
&
mandata
hominum
.
In
vaine
doe
they
serue
me
,
teaching
the
doctrines
&
precepts
of
men
.
Here
I
must
put
you
in
remembrance
of
a
fond
fellow
,
who
hath
set
out
a
book
:
intituled
,
Hierarchia
,
It
is
a
rehearsall
by
name
of
the
popes
,
from
Peter
,
which
was
the
first
Bishop
of
Rome
,
(
if
it
so
be
true
)
and
how
one
succéeded
an
other
,
from
time
to
time
,
and
this
was
by
Election
in
diuers
sorts
,
one
whi●e
by
the
voice
or
suffragies
of
the
people
,
as
though
Democratia
were
in
vre
,
sometime
by
the
consent
of
the
better
sort
in
degrée
,
as
when
the
Deane
and
Chapter
elected
,
and
that
doth
adumbrate
Aristocratia
.
And
lastly
and
principally
,
when
the
chiefe
gouernour
maketh
his
choice
of
any
person
,
where
is
the
rule
of
Monarchia
.
But
succession
by
election
is
one
thing
,
and
the
right
of
inheritance
another
.
We
daily
sée
,
that
a
good
father
hath
sometime
an
vngratious
sonne
,
that
godly
parents
haue
a
child
descended
from
them
afterward
to
be
euill
disposed
.
I
haue
found
a
man
according
to
my
hartliking
saith
God
of
Dauid
the
king
.
And
yet
his
son
Salomon
succéeding
him
,
fell
to
women
and
Idolatry
,
insomuch
that
God
being
angry
,
rent
his
kingdome
after
his
daies
into
two
parts
,
viz.
Rehoboam
reigned
ouer
2
tribes
,
&
Ieroboam
ouer
10.
If
this
be
where
state
of
inheritance
claimeth
his
right
,
that
for
sin
God
putteth
downe
one
,
and
setteth
vp
another
,
and
oftentimes
changeth
the
inheritance
from
one
line
of
kindred
in
to
another
,
Rome
.
But
t●ey
with
their
whole
flocke
,
as
they
might
be
caught
for
the
most
part
,
suffered
Martirdome
,
vnder
the
persecuting
Emperors
of
the
same
city
,
as
Nero
,
Diocletian
,
&
others
.
A
body
of
the
best
complection
,
which
is
sanguine
by
continuance
of
time
,
and
disorder
of
diet
in
meats
,
drinks
,
and
other
féeding
draweth
vnto
it
grosse
humors
,
and
so
●alleth
into
diseases
,
that
the
alteration
wil
be
such
,
that
ye
shall
not
know
it
to
be
the
same
.
So
the
See
of
Rome
,
both
during
the
time
of
the
Primitiue
Church
,
and
long
after
retained
a
beautie
of
knowledge
and
holynes
,
but
by
litle
and
litle
,
it
fell
away
and
was
defaced
,
as
rust
créepeth
vpon
yron
and
other
metals
by
contin●ance
,
especiallie
,
when
they
be
not
rubbed
,
scraped
,
and
dried
,
S.
Paule
spake
these
words
in
this
time
,
Etiam
mysterium
iniquitatis
operatur
,
and
now
the
mistery
of
●iquitie
doth
worke
.
And
againe
,
as
is
aforesaid
by
the
said
Paule
,
what
withholdeth
euen
that
the
sonne
of
perdition
might
bee
reuealed
at
his
time
.
Most
true
it
is
where
Christ
saith
,
Ego
sum
vobiscum
vsque
and
consumationem
Seculi
,
I
am
with
you
euen
to
the
end
of
the
world
,
that
the
holy
ghost
hath
bin
,
is
and
will
be
with
his
Church
to
to
the
end
,
and
wil
neuer
leaue
it
destitute
.
As
when
the
Heresie
of
the
Arrians
oue●●●owed
the
worlde
,
the
holy
Spirite
of
God
stirred
vp
Athanasius
,
to
defend
his
truth
,
which
Athanasius
albeit
,
Rome
,
yea
,
and
Antichrist
himselfe
who
exalteth
himselfe
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
therfore
there
is
not
the
true
Church
.
What
monsters
haue
bene
admitted
to
the
Papacie
after
one
thousand
and
od
yeares
after
Christ
,
it
hath
bene
somewhat
afore
touched
,
&
may
séeme
to
such
as
haue
not
read
Histories
almost
incredible
?
What
execrable
practise
was
this
to
enter
and
possesse
the
Popes
chaire
by
Magicke
and
Art
forbidden
both
by
Gods
law
and
mans
,
to
giue
himselfe
to
the
deuill
:
to
gette
worldly
dignitie
and
promotion
,
to
infame
himselfe
for
euer
,
to
purchase
a
momentary
and
transitory
pelfe
:
to
win
wealth
&
glory
on
the
earth
,
to
léese
eternal
ioy
and
heauen
.
Upon
this
monster
last
rehersed
,
&
popes
afore
mencioned
,
iudge
of
this
said
Hierarchia
,
of
this
holy
principality
or
gouernment
of
the
Church
,
which
the
author
of
the
book
wold
onely
apply
to
the
see
of
Rome
,
as
to
the
chiefe
of
the
same
,
where
good
&
bad
popes
are
associated
together
in
the
rehersall
,
as
though
Gods
church
,
were
not
from
the
beginning
guided
&
conducted
in
all
truth
by
the
holy
ghost
,
before
the
Papacy
took
place
,
or
as
if
gods
spirit
could
not
blow
wher
it
listed
,
not
in
one
circuit
of
ground
only
,
but
in
the
church
whersoeuer
dispersed
euen
where
gods
word
is
truly
preched
,
&
the
sacraments
rightly
administred
,
whether
it
bee
in
the
east
of
the
world
,
the
west
,
south
,
or
north
part
of
the
same
.
This
fellow
doth
not
only
sanctifie
the
impurest
monsters
of
the
world
,
but
also
restraineth
and
tieth
the
grace
of
God
&
his
spirit
to
the
Popes
girdle
.
Succession
in
the
See
of
Rome
,
is
of
no
more
force
to
prooue
principalie
in
the
Church
,
then
that
the
Bishopric●es
of
Cullen
in
Germany
,
of
Toledo
in
Spaine
,
may
prooue
the
line
by
discent
by
Regester
Bookes
many
hundreth
yeares
.
O
mad
and
fantasticall
heads
of
such
as
of
selfe
wil
beléeue
him
,
to
wit
,
the
Pope
and
Rome
his
See
to
haue
of
right
the
superioritie
of
the
Church
.
Hierusalem
and
mount
Sion
had
these
wordes
spoken
of
her
that
follow
.
Vespacian
.
For
what
shal
we
now
think
of
Rome
?
whe●
was
there
any
promise
made
to
it
,
which
Rome
by
trope
is
painted
out
,
and
spoken
in
the
14.
and
17.
Chap.
of
the
Reuelation
of
S.
Iohn
,
to
be
Babylon
that
gret
whoore
,
Their
Maister
the
Pope
would
not
haue
them
once
open
or
looke
into
the
holy
Bible
,
translated
into
the
vulgar
tongue
,
And
they
will
not
read
it
,
nor
any
other
booke
that
may
bring
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
they
loue
to
dwell
in
ignorance
.
God
grant
of
his
infinit
mercy
,
that
they
maie
amend
and
waxe
wise
in
time
Amen
.
It
may
séeme
to
some
that
I
haue
bene
somewhat
too
long
in
this
discourse
of
Rome
,
and
of
the
Pope
,
&
I
pray
them
of
patience
,
seeing
the
matter
is
so
far
forth
not
impertinent
,
that
it
touched
and
concerneth
not
a
few
but
all
:
not
one
region
or
countrey
,
but
all
the
partes
of
Christiandome
:
not
the
saftie
of
mans
bodie
only
,
but
the
health
of
the
soule
:
not
temporall
,
but
eternall
life
.
And
no
inuectiue
can
be
sufficient
on
him
,
til
his
name
and
tyrannical
seate
be
raised
vp
from
the
bottome
,
and
his
memoriall
quite
extinct
,
his
pride
thrust
downe
together
with
Lucifers
in
Hell
.
His
doctrine
abolished
,
as
these
few
Latine
verses
following
doo
partlie
declare
.
Papa

Which
verses
may
be
thus
englished
,
not
following
word
for
worde
,
but
the
sence
truely
taken
out
.
The
Pope
fearing
least
his
strong
force
might
him
alone
forsake
,
Doth
fret
and
cast
his
poison
ranke
,
new
shiftes
of

And
first
doth
seeke
with
treacherie
,
Th'
annointed
of
God
to

.
Without
their

or
any

,
His
purpose
to
fulfil
:
Both

and

shall
neuer

,
Nor

Till

and

Be

Ye
mightie
Kinges
of

Vse

expell
away
The
common
plague
of

:
Vse

say
.

,
God

.
For
it
is
the
Pope
that
is
the
●eade
and
C●le●taine
of
the
Confederates
in
Europe
at
this
day
,
England
,
to
molest
&
trouble
our
most
gratious
soueraigne
Lady
&
Quéene
▪
but
in
vaine
(
thanked
be
God
,
they
were
fr●strate
of
their
purpose
)
&
if
they
might
haue
had
any
good
successe
,
they
determined
afterward
to
●lea
and
root
out
all
the
professors
of
true
religion
in
Christendome
.
This
was
the
resolute
determination
,
purpose
and
inintent
of
this
Antichrist
,
Chieftain
,
and
his
confederates
the
Spaniardes
with
their
societie
.
England
:
But
God
,
euen
the
God
of
Abraham
,
Isaac
and
Iacob
:
God
,
the
God
of
Elizabeth
Quéene
of
England
,
whom
she
dayly
and
hourly
honoureth
and
serueth
,
hath
confounded
their
deuises
,
broken
their
cros-bowes
of
stéel
,
shortened
their
armes
,
weakened
their
bodies
which
they
bragged
to
be
so
strong
,
made
faint
their
heartes
and
courages
in
Iulie
,
last
past
,
1588
:
and
in
August
following
and
September
,
that
the
Deb●ra
of
England
may
say
;
God
hath
bin
on
our
side
.
God
fought
for
her
,
God
ouerthrew
her
enemies
.
Thus
it
is
apparant
,
our
deadly
enemies
is
the
Pope
,
that
aduersary
(
as
S.
Paule
tearmeth
him
)
that
is
exalted
aboue
al
that
is
called
God
,
maintaining
the
war
made
vpon
England
this
la●●
yeare
,
O
Sathan
,
transfigured
into
an
Angel
of
light
.
O
false
i●gler
!
O
crafty
Apostle
,
yea
rather
Aposta●a
.
O
bloody
murderer
,
that
vnder
pre●ence
of
holines
,
would
séeme
to
sit
at
home
in
thy
chaire
,
and
y●t
ar●
the
grea●est
slaughter
man
in
the
front
of
the
battaile
.
O
fierce
brother
of
Cain
that
killest
the
innocent
Abels
.
S●rcease
to
animate
&
mainteine
the
Spaniards
thy
partakers
in
war
:
Learne
by
the
euent
of
their
late
enterprise
,
to
sit
stil
to
study
on
gods
booke
and
to
leaue
the
●an●ling
of
war
to
temporal
princes
.
But
religion
is
the
chiefe
occasion
and
ground
of
the
debate
&
breath
of
peace
,
beside
other
quarels
.
The
deciding
of
true
religion
&
false
,
and
iudgement
thereof
consisteth
onely
as
they
say
in
the
Pope
,
and
therefore
pronounceth
vs
English
,
heretiques
.
And
where
he
cannot
consume
vs
with
fagot
and
fire
,
because
he
hath
not
our
Lady
and
Quéene
at
commandement
to
be
his
executioner
,
as
hee
hath
Princes
in
other
regions
〈◊〉
thral
to
his
tyranny
.
This
blessed
man
of
Rome
maketh
vs
a
pray
to
the
Spaniards
or
any
other
that
will
assaile
vs
.
Where
,
note
that
the
Pope
gaue
the
crowne
and
kingdome
of
England
to
the
king
of
Hispaine
.
O
impudent
monster
of
men
.
O
thou
that
hidest
the
commandementes
of
God
in
the
Latin
,
from
the
lay
,
It
is
written
in
the
10
and
last
commandement
.
Thou
shalt
not
cou●t
thy
neighbours
house
,
nor
any
thing
that
is
his
.
These
bee
the
wordes
among
others
in
the
commandement
:
If
to
couet
be
sinne
and
breach
of
the
precept
:
what
horrible
offence
to
God
is
it
,
impudently
to
take
and
giue
away
that
which
is
anothers
,
as
though
the
whole
earth
were
the
Popes
to
bestowe
and
destribute
at
his
pleasure
.
Rome
,
did
giue
or
assigne
Princes
crownes
,
or
kingdomes
:
the
same
Bishop
of
Rome
,
at
the
first
being
a
beggar
,
and
liued
but
of
almes
and
deuotion
of
the
well
disposed
,
who
at
the
first
went
on
foote
as
others
doe
.
And
after
that
Constantines
donations
had
enriched
the
Sée
of
Rome
,
began
to
ride
on
horsebacke
,
Religion
(
as
I
said
before
)
is
laid
to
the
charge
of
vs
English
.
Touching
Religion
,
we
answere
,
that
we
are
in
the
true
,
and
the
Pope
and
his
adherents
in
the
false
.
The
iudgment
whereof
appertaineth
not
to
him
being
an
aduersary
of
Christ
,
a
persecutor
of
poore
innocentes
and
professors
of
true
Religion
,
a
Tyrant
,
a
blood-sucker
.
But
the
t●uchstone
must
be
the
holy
Sceiptures
,
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
hath
〈◊〉
and
taught
in
these
wordes
.
Scrutamini
scripturas
.
Search
the
Scriptures
.
And
againe
thus
,
Erra●is
,
nescientes
scripturas
,
Ye
erre
out
of
the
way
not
knowing
the
Scriptures
,
which
shew
and
declare
who
goe
right
,
and
who
goe
wrong
.
And
we
answere
with
the
word●
of
S.
Paule
in
the
24
Chapt.
of
the
Actes
of
the
Apostles
.
But
this
we
boldly
confesse
with
S.
Paule
the
Apostle
vnto
the
whole
world
,
that
after
the
way
which
the
Pope
and
his
Cleargie
call
heresie
,
so
worship
we
the
God
of
Abraham
,
beléeuing
all
things
which
are
written
in
the
Lawe
and
Prophets
.
&c.
This
is
the
Pope
of
whom
the
Prophet
Daniel
speaketh
of
in
the
7
Chap.
of
his
Prophesie
that
shall
destroy
the
Saintes
of
the
most
highest
:
and
in
the
8
Chapter
,
Hee
shall
slea
the
strong
and
holy
people
.
In
laying
heresie
to
thy
charge
(
O
England
)
which
is
no
heresie
,
but
the
true
worshipping
of
God
,
then
it
is
God
cause
that
thou
art
blamed
for
,
that

The
Spaniards
,
the
Popes
owne
chéefe
Darlinges
,
Europe
,
did
take
in
hand
this
last
yeare
viz.
1588
the
execution
of
the
Popes
malice
and
War
,
adding
thereto
quarels
of
their
owne
:
But
as
the
Spaniard
liketh
his
last
aduenture
made
vpon
England
,
so
let
him
and
his
partakers
come
againe
,
We
English
put
in
God
alone
our
trust
,
they
shall
go
wéeping
away
,
if
any
go
away
or
escape
.
Antè
victoriam
canebant
triumphum
,
that
is
,
They
assured
themselues
of
victory
before
thoy
did
strike
astrcke
for
it
.
And
if
euer
they
come
againe
,
they
shall
bée
recompensed
seuen
folde
in
their
bosom
and
shall
bee
vsed
as
Perillus
was
,
according
to
the
Prouerbe
,
Be
whipped
with
their
owne
whippes
,
and
marked
with
their
owne
Yrons
.
For
they
be
a
people
disdainfull
,
cruell
and
proud
in
heart
aboue
measure
,
euen
from
the
lowest
degrée
of
men
in
their
common
weale
.
Will
you
heare
for
a
proofe
thereof
,
what
I
haue
seene
.
A
poore
Spaniard
Fisherman
,
which
onely
gaineth
his
liuing
by
going
to
Sea
to
catch
Sardines
,
a
kind
of
Pilchard
,
sillie
wretch
in
his
olde
ragges
,
scant
woorth
taking
vp
if
they
were
found
vpon
the
donghill
,
after
he
hath
caught
some
fish
,
and
returneth
with
his
small
Skiffe
,
or
boat
home
,
his
poore
wife
waiteth
at
the
shore
side
for
him
.
The
man
leapeth
out
vpon
the
shore
,
leauing
his
fish
to
b●
solde
by
his
wife
,
and
his
boat
also
to
be
made
cleane
by
her
,
and
going
home
to
his
house
,
putteth
off
his
sea
apparell
,
claddeth
him selfe
with
his
best
doublet
and
hose
,
and
couered
with
his
Spanish
cape
or
cloke
,
with
his
Rapier
and
Dagger
by
his
side
,
walketh
and
●etteth
in
the
place
of
the
towne
whereto
marchantes
,
and
the
wealthiest
of
the
Towne
resort
to
buy
and
sell.
As
the
Spaniard
is
proud
,
so
is
he
crue●l
excéedinglie
:
and
where
hee
can
or
may
ouercome
,
his
tyrannie
is
intollerable
:
what
infinite
slaughters
haue
the
Spaniardes
made
in
the
West
Indians
in
America
,
as
well
of
women
and
children
,
as
of
men
,
silly
soules
of
that
Country
.
It
is
beside
my
purpose
,
here
to
rehearse
:
whosoeuer
is
desirous
t●
knowe
the
trueth
thereof
,
let
them
reade
whole
bookes
written
of
the
same
matter
both
in
French
Latine
,
and
other
tongues
.
And
to
know
the
same
by
reading
it
,
will
make
any
Christians
heart
to
bléede
.
Ouer
and
beside
,
the
crueltie
of
their
Cleargie
in
matters
of
Religion
repugnant
to
Papistrie
,
Superstition
,
and
idolatrie
.
Woe
,
woe
,
yea
thrée
times
woe
to
them
that
shall
fall
into
their
handes
.
It
is
comparable
with
all
the
inuentions
of
punishment
and
forture
of
all
Tyrantes
read
of
in
all
histories
before
this
time
,
if
it
〈◊〉
not
passe
or
surmount
them
.
Consider
what
the
Strapado
Gardiner
,
an
Englishman
borne
in
Bristoll
,
and
suffering
at
Lisbona
in
Portugall
,
was
it
not
equall
with
Phalaris
Bul
?
First
his
right
hand
was
chopped
off
,
and
after
his
left
hand
.
After
this
he
was
hanged
vpon
an
high
gibbit
,
and
fire
so
made
vnder
him
,
that
it
could
burne
but
his
féete
&
shanks
,
then
that
done
a
space
of
time
betwéene
his
knées
and
thighes
:
after
that
his
bellie
,
and
intralles
were
consumed
with
fire
,
so
that
all
this
while
his
breast
,
hart
,
and
head
,
wherin
the
pincipal
seat
of
life
is
,
were
vntouched
:
last
,
by
Gods
mercie
the
rope
wherwithal
he
was
tied
vnder
the
arme
pits
sodenly
,
brake
,
and
so
the
whole
man
fell
into
the
fire
sooner
then
they
expected
or
wished
.
To
hear
this
torture
wil
it
not
make
christian
eares
to
glow
and
any
heart
to
quake
.
I
will
leade
the
Reader
with
no
more
examples
,
for
they
be
so
many
of
this
sort
,
that
will
and
may
make
vp
whole
bookes
.
Now
let
vs
come
to
the
Religion
of
the
Spaniard
.
Pilgrimage
is
vsed
&
frequented
euen
at
this
day
freshly
to
S.
Iames
in
Galitia
,
&
through
all
Spaine
accompted
an
holy
&
meritorious
thing
to
saluation
.
If
any
man
die
of
any
wealth
there
in
that
countrey
,
the
Friers
of
the
four
orders
so
flock
about
and
the
priests
that
it
is
estéemed
but
a
small
funerall
,
the
charges
wherof
doth
not
amount
to
200
Markes
,
which
is
deuided
among
Friers
and
Priestes
for
the
most
part
,
for
saying
of
Masses
,
Diriges
,
and
funeral
Obsequies
,
making
the
people
beléeue
,
that
they
with
their
oblations
and
praiers
can
saue
their
soules
.
Of
whence
commeth
this
,
the
Cleargie
so
perswade
the
people
there
,
they
wil
deliuer
any
mans
soule
from
hell
,
and
send
it
vp
to
heauen
,
applying
their
merites
thereto
,
and
with
their
Sacrifices
of
Masse
auailable
both
for
the
quicke
and
the
deade
.
I
haue
seéene
a
yoong
Priest
in
Spaine
(
for
there
be
many
Priestes
there
belonging
to
one
Chuch
,
which
liue
onely
by
these
means
following
)
coming
to
the
Church
in
the
morring
,
and
hauing
mumbled
to
himselfe
Mattyns
(
as
they
call
it
)
hath
(
standing
at
the
Altar
)
put
on
his
Albe
,
looking
round
about
him
,
and
expecting
who
woulde
lay
downe
and
offer
their
deuotion
vpon
the
Altar
:
I●
there
were
so
many
that
the
summe
offered
or
giuen
did
amount
to
ten
or
eleuen
Royals
of
plate
,
he
would
put
on
his
Palle
or
Cope
,
say
Masse
that
morning
,
otherwise
he
would
put
off
his
linnen
Albe
and
will
the
people
to
come
againe
the
next
day
.
Behold
be
not
Masses
wel
sold
?
be
not
Priests
wel
maintained
?
What
doth
the
Priest
all
the
day
afterwardes
?
He
●etteth
vp
and
downe
not
after
the
maner
that
sad
and
sage
Priests
vse
,
but
like
a
Courtier
in
a
cloake
without
a
cape
down
to
the
ground
.
O
noble
England
,
O
England
thou
maist
by
this
treatise
behold
as
it
were
in
a
glasse
,
That
where
a
Fox
skin
cannot
reach
they
haue
sowed
to
a
Lions
skin
.
And
as
they
haue
done
already
the
yéere
past
,
so
they
wil
perchance
again
vse
force
&
violence
although
they
haue
had
a
faire
warning
already
,
to
leaue
&
surcesse
by
their
harmes
sustained
:
Howsoeuer
it
may
fal
out
,
Ad
Dominum
cum
tribularer
clamaui
&
exaudiuit
me
,
when
I
was
in
trouble
I
called
vpon
the
Lord
,
and
he
heard
me
euen
to
the
granting
of
my
petition
.
Againe
God
himselfe
scholeth
vs
in
this
sort
,
Inuoca
me
in
di●
tribulationis
&
ego
exaudiam
vos
.
Cal
vpon
me
in
the
day
of
trouble
and
I
wil
heare
you
.
Be
ye
therefore
full
of
courage
:
Pugna
pro
patria
,
pro
Principe
,
pro
aris
&
pro
focis
,
Fight
for
thy
Countrey
,
for
thy
Prince
,
for
religion
,
for
thy
house
,
wife
,
and
children
:
Gods
law
commandeth
vs
so
to
doo
.
For
as
they
which
saile
in
a
ship
by
all
meanes
and
force
,
they
can
possiblie
endeuour
to
saue
and
preserue
the
ship
.
If
the
ship
perish
and
sincke
,
or
be
cast
away
,
the
passengers
and
mariners
all
be
lost
and
die
.
So
euerie
man
indewed
but
onlie
with
the
gift
of
reason
,
besides
that
,
he
is
by
duty
bound
thereto
,
and
so
commanded
by
God
,
If
the
land
wherein
thou
dwellest
fall
into
captiuitie
,
then
thou
that
escapest
aliue
shalt
be
in
worse
case
than
he
that
is
dead
.
A
continuall
torment
,
pinching
,
tearing
of
a
man
liuing
,
is
worse
then
any
sharpe
death
.
The
senses
by
death
are
taken
:
the
anguish
on
the
other
liuing
in
torment
in
the
day
time
is
euill
,
and
in
the
night
worse
.
It
fretteth
and
suffereth
still
and
continually
as
is
the
fable
of
Prometheus
his
liuer
,
which
as
it
wasteth
by
féeding
the
gréedis
vultures
mawes
.
So
it
is
renued
,
and
encreasing
againe
,
ministreth
matter
euery
day
of
n●w
and
fresh
torment
and
punishment
.
This
one
chiefe
and
principall
comfort
(

bee
many
mo

)

,
made
Latine
verses
most
learnedly
lamenting
his
vnripe
death
happening
in
the
flower
of
his
age
.
Truly
,
yea
most
truly
,
there
was
nothing
els
sought
,
either
by
the
puissant
Quéene
Elizabeth
&
the
Lords
of
her
Counsell
,
either
by
the
said
noble
earle
,
but
to
preserue
true
and
pure
religion
,
that
it
might
not
be
troden
vnder
the
foot
,
and
to
stop
effusion
of
bloud
,
which
otherwise
would
haue
bene
much
.
And
that
ought
to
be
the
care
and
studie
of
euerie
Christian
king
and
Quéene
,
to
stoppe
and
inhibit
outrage
of
spilling
of
Christians
bloud
.
Finally
,
the
gouernement
of
the
said
Noble
Earle
of
Leycester
,
in
his
abode
beyond
the
seas
,
hath
bene
such
,
that
the
wise
and
well
disposed
euery
where
,
grauely
consindering
vpon
the
same
,
giue
to
it
condigne
praise
to
the
great
benefites
of
the
Countrey
where
he
hath
bene
,
and
to
no
small
strengthening
of
vs
Englishe
at
home
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
Low-Countreis
reaped
thereby
the
benefite
of
quietnes
and
rest
,
from
the
molesting
of
the
enemie
,
which
otherwise
would
haue
assailed
them
most
sharpelie
to
their
vtter
confusion
and
vndoing
.
This
also
haue
wee
English
to
ioy
and
to
comfort
our selues
with
all
,
Charles
Howard
,
Lord
high
Admiral
of
England
,
vpon
and
ouer
the
Spanish
Armado
or
fléet
,
so
huge
,
so
strong
,
so
great
,
so
furnished
with
double
Canons

Culuerins

and
all
other

so

,
and
marriners
to
the
number
of
28000
so
garnished
with
armor
&
all
maner
of
weapons
,
so
laden
and
stuffed
fully
with
euerie
kind
of
victuall
,
to
serue
for
long
time
,
all
which
did
so
farre
passe
,
surmount
▪
and
excéed
,
that
it
was
Vique
ad
mundi
miraculum
,
Euen
to
the
wonder
of
this
age
,
that
the
Spaniardes
vpon
the
confidence
they
had
in
the
same
,
their
owne
strength
,
were
so
puffed
vp
with
pride
that
they
had
denoured
all
England
in
their
hearts
,
whilest
they
were
yet
in
Spaine
,
and
before
they
came
any
thing
néere
our
coast
.
Neither
is
this
here
to
be
vntouched
,
how
the
said
Lord
Charles
Howard
,
Lord
Admiral
,
with
the
nauie
of
England
,
went
to
the
Seas
in
the
moneth
of
December
,
What
watch
,
what
labour
,
what
paines
,
especially
in
winter
.
What
stormes
and
foule
weather
this
noble
man
and
his
company
did
sustaine
and
abide
,
and
indure
out
,
during
these
nine
monethes
.
It
cannot
be
vnknowen
to
al
those
which
haue
experimented
voyages
by
Seas
.
And
in
the
Comming
&
approching
of
the
Spanish
Armado
,
to
the
west
part
of
Cornewall
,
which
was
about
the
19
of
Julie
,
1588.
How
ready
,
desirous
,
&
glad
,
the
said
Lorde
Howard
was
to
méet
and
encounter
with
the
Spaniard
,
it
doth
by

appeare
:
Medina

by

,
night
and
day
,
forbearing
sléepe
and
bodilie
rest
which
nature
of
man
doth
exact
and
require
.
Al
which
time
,
my
Lord
Thomas
Howard
,
my
Lord
Shiefield
,
Sir
Edward
Hobby
knight
,
of
yeares
but
young
,
yet
for
the
gifts
of
the
mind
,
wit
,
learning
,
knowledge
,
boldnes
and
courage
equall
to
the
best
Captaines
,
and
many
other
Gentlem●n
in
this
our
English
Nauie
of
good

ancient
houses
,
for
the
loue
,
zeale
,
and
dutie
they
did
beare
to
the
Quéenes
Maiestie
,
their
Countrey
,
and
my
Lord
Admirall
,
did
voluntarilie
,
not
without
their
great
charges
,
as
it
were
not
onlie
offer
,
but
intrude
them selues
into
the
seruice
of
the
sea
,
in
this
warre
to
winne
honour
and
same
,
and
most
couragiouslie
,
and
with
lyons
hearts
,
did
assault
,
pursue
,
and
terrifie
the
Armado
,
that
where
their
purpose
and
pretence
was
to
inuade
and
land
in
Englande
,
they
durst
not
once
drawe
néere
to
any
shore
,
but
kept
their
course
still
in
the
chanell
and
déepe
streame
,
alwaies
flying
and
seeking
by
night
if
it
might
bee
,
in
the
darke
to
leese
the
sight
of
our
ships
.
On
saterday
night
when
the
enemies
came
to
an
anker
afore
Calis
,
And
it
was
deuised
by
the
Lord
Charls
Howard
the
next
night
following
by
sira●ageme
well
known
,
and
therefore
not
needful
at
large
to
be
here
rehearsed
,
to
fire
all
the
Spanish
ships
,
which
in
part
was
done
and
had
taken
further
effect
,
but
the
enemie
forsaking
the
rode
,
leauing
Ankers
&
cables
behind
them
for
hast
,
set
vppe
saile
and
fled
.
And
the
next
morning
being
Monday
,
my
Lord
Admirals
number
being
augmented
aboue
the
Spanish
with
my
Lord
Henrie
Seimers
fléet
of
warlike
shippes
,
a
feesh
fight
began
:
the
Spaniard
flying
afore
to
the
north
towards
Scotland
,
and
the
English
,
folowing
the
chace
with
most
sharpe
&
bloudy
fight
.
In
all
which
Battaile
of
nine
daies
together
continuing
,
both
great
wisedome
and
manhood
was
vsed
by
the
said
Lord
Charles
Howard
,
by
the
Lords
and
Knights
in
hys
company
,
Mariners
and
souldiours
,
and
marueilous
force
was
bent
against
the
enemy
.
For
one
of
the
ships
of
the
Quéenes
on
Monday
,
the
last
day
of
the
fight
,
shot
in
eight
houres
fiue
hundreth
and
32.
great
pellets
out
of
her
great
ordinaunce
hard
vnder
the
sides
of
the
Spanish
Armado
.
What
number
may
we
thinke
all
the
rest
of
the
great
shippes
did
discharge
that
day
.
They
of
this
great
fléete
of
the
enemies
,
beside
the
great
slaughter
of
their
men
,
made
and
caused
by
our
forces
,
were
constrained
to
cast
ouer-boord
,
their
fine
Iennets
and
horses
,
and
waxed
glad
when
night
with
darkenesse
drewe
on
,
setting
indirect
courses
that
the
Englishe
might
with
more
dificultie
espie
,
finde
,
or
follow
them
in
the
morning
ensuing
.
There
were
from
the
beginning
till
this
time
taken
Prisoners
,
and
Spanishe
shippes
soo●cke
and
spoyled
by
the
English
forces
,
and
brasen
péeces
and
Artillery
taken
,
as
the
true
number
of
them
apeareth
in
books
already
printed
,
by
the
meanes
aforesaid
,
the
pursuit
was
omitted
,
and
the
spaniardes
sought
their
way
furthest
about
by
the
craggie
rocks
and
Sea
shore
of
Scotland
,
to
the
west
of
Ireland
.
Where
God
with
windes
and
soule
weather
so
tossed
the
remain
of
the
Armado
,
that
17
of
the
greatest
ships
there
,
wracked
,
&
were
drowned
with
the
losse
of
some
thowsands
of
their
men
,
beside
artillerie
,
ordinance
,
and
other
lading
that
perished
in
the
water
.
Thus
they
that
came
to
kil
vs
,
were
killed
,
taken
,
or
drowned
,
except
those
that
escaped
by
flieng
and
running
away
:
and
God
fought
for
England
with
his
mightie
hand
and
stretched
out
arme
,
when
the
force
of
the
English
had
ceased
to
pursue
.
Let
any
reasonable
man
or
others
that
haue
any
experience
be
Iudge
.
This
proud
and
haughtie
nation
and
people
that
came
to
conquer
England
,
to
kil
man
,
woman
,
and
child
,
to
make
the
countrie
wast
,
to
take
the
land
into
their
owne
possession
,
if
they
had
not
bene
sore
afraide
,
and
self
also
the
Yron
pellets
and
blowes
of
our
English
ordinance
and
the
forces
of
the
Lord
Charles
Howard
and
his
most
famous
band
of
Mariners
and
souldiers
to
the
losse
of
liues
of
their
men
and
great
spoile
of
their
ships
,
would
haue
returned
home
the
same
way
they
came
;
but
they
durst
not
,
but
sought
Spaine
the
farthest
way
about
.
The
fame
of
this
victorie
,
howsoeuer
the
Spaniardes
may
or
will
colour
it
,
is
spread
ouer
all
Europe
,
Asia
,
and
part
of
Africa
,
insomuch
that
the
heathen
haue

renowmed

admiration
for
her
vertues

princely
qualities
,
royall
hart

euery

man

to

wherfore
was
this
done

Because

against

cast
Pur

that

Let

when
