I
IOHN
PENRY
DOO
HEARE
AS
I
SHALL
ANSWERE
BEFORE
THE
LORD
MY
GOD
IN
that
great
day
of
Iudgement
set
downe
sumarily
the
Whole
truth
and
nothing
but
the
truth
which
I
hold
and
professe
at
this
hower
eyther
in
regard
of
my
faith
towards
my
God
and
Dread
Soueraigne
Queene
Elizabeth
unto
whome
only
of
all
the
potentas
In
the
world
I
owe
all
reuerente
,
dutie
and
submission
in
the
Lord
.
FIrst
/
because
my
allegeance
vnto
her
Majesties
:
is
cheifly
called
In
question
/
that
I
am
not
at
this
day
/
nor
yet
euer
was
in
all
my
life
eyther
guilty
or
priuie
in
any
purpose
/
consultation
or
intent
of
any
sedition
against
or
disturbance
of
her
Majesties
Royall
state
and
peaceable
government
.
And
if
I
were
priuie
vnto
any
such
godlese
wicked
and
vndutifull
actions
or
purposes
as
might
any
ways
impayre
or
disquiet
the
peaceaeble
state
of
my
native
prince
and
countrie
I
would
reveale
disclose
/
and
withstand
the
same
to
the
vtmost
of
my
power
in
all
persons
both
foraigne
and
domesticall
of
what
prossession
or
religion
soever
they
be
.
Her
supreance
authorite
within
her
realmes
and
dominions
I
acknowledge
to
be
such
over
all
persons
in
all
causes
/
as
no
person
eyther
ciuill
or
ecclesiastical
/
may
exempt
himselfe
or
his
cause
from
the
power
and
censure
of
her
lawes
and
sword
.
I
doe
also
acknowledge
that
her
Majestie
hath
full
authorite
from
the
Lord
by
hir
Royall
power
to
establishe
and
enact
all
lawes
both
ecclesiasticall
and
ciuill
among
hir
subiectes
:
In
the
making
whereof
the
Lord
requireth
that
hir
eclesiasticall
be
warented
by
his
written
word
/
wich
expressely
conteyneth
whatsoever
belongeth
to
his
worship
:
&
her
ciuill
to
be
gronded
vpon
the
rules
of
common
iustice
and
equitie
/
the
wich
boundes
are
so
farr
from
diminishing
from
the
authoritie
of
kings
and
princes
/
as
they
are
the
onely
inexpugnable
waies
therof
.
This
soueraigne
prerogatiue
authority
of
her
hignes
I
am
most
willingly
reddy
to
deffend
and
maintaine
/
against
all
the
estates
/
persons
/
and
creatures
vnder
heaven
to
the
losse
of
my
life
tenne
tousandes
tymes
if
it
should
be
neefull
.
And
I
take
the
lorde
to
record
that
/
that
day
to
my
knowlege
hath
not
passed
over
my
head
I
am
sure
since
the
first
that
the
lord
vnder
her
gratious
raigne
broght
me
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
/
wherein
I
have
not
or
doe
not
pray
for
the
blessings
of
my
God
both
outoward
&
inward
to
be
powred
with
afull
horne
vpon
hir
right
excellent
Maiesties
Throne
Regiment
&
dominions
for
ever
&
ever
:
And
that
he
would
eyther
conuert
/
or
spedily
overthrowe
In
his
wrath
all
his
and
hir
ennaemies
with
their
entreprises
whether
they
be
home
or
foraigne
Herof
I
cal
the
searcher
of
hartes
as
In
wittnes
of
truth
against
my
owne
soule
if
eyther
I
di●ssēble
/
or
forge
in
the
premises
.
Secondly
touching
my
faith
/
I
doe
beleve
with
my
hart
and
confess
▪
with
my
tongue
that
ther
is
no
God
but
the
true
God
only
which
that
written
word
reacheth
to
be
one
in
substance
and
three
in
person
/
the
father
/
the
sonne
/
and
the
holy
gost
three
distinct
persons
of
one
and
the
selfe
same
substance
.
This
most
high
God
who
also
is
my
God
in
Christ
Iesus
I
veleeve
to
be
the
creator
/
preseruer
maintainner
soueraigne
Lord
and
supreame
commander
of
all
creatures
In
heaven
and
in
earth
men
and
Angels
both
good
and
bad
.
I
doe
beleeve
that
nothing
doth
or
can
comme
to
〈…〉
/
but
by
the
fore anointed
and
determinate
wil
/
purpose
/
〈…〉
onely
by
grace
the
sufferings
and
reghteousnes
of
Christ
Iesus
apprehended
by
true
faith
.
Christ
Iesus
In
regard
of
his
natures
I
beleve
to
be
God
&
man
/
even
God
alone
blessed
for
ever
more
:
And
in
respect
of
his
offices
to
be
the
onely
king
/
Priest
And
Prophet
of
his
Church
/
the
which
offices
he
so
fully
accōp●isshed
In
the
dayes
of
us
flesh
by
the
manifesting
of
the
wholle
will
of
his
father
thorough
his
preaching
&
teaching
the
full
redemption
of
his
Chu●ch
/
by
his
death
and
resurr●ction
:
and
rec●aving
full
absolute
power
in
heaven
and
in
earth
from
his
father
/
in
such
sorte
as
he
is
not
to
reteine
a
successor
in
any
of
these
his
offices
/
but
is
consecrated
alone
to
them
all
for
euer
more
.
True
faith
/
I
beleeve
to
be
the
persuasion
of
the
harte
where
by
the
soule
is
truly
assured
of
remission
of
sinnes
and
Imputation
of
righteo●snes
thorough
Christ
.
This
true
faith
belongeth
onely
to
Gods
elect
/
and
hath
perseuerance
vnto
the
end
▪
with
this
true
faith
also
/
is
vnseparably
ioined
(
as
the
frut
thereof
)
a
dying
vnto
sinne
:
and
a
living
vnto
righteousnes
in
such
sorte
as
the
members
of
Christ
have
a
continuall
battel
in
them
against
sinne
.
the
wich
by
the
power
of
Christs
death
is
so
wounded
and
in
some
measure
decayeth
more
and
more
in
them
/
vntil
at
l●ngth
it
shall
be
vtterly
consumed
when
the
bodies
and
soules
be
separated
/
and
not
b●fore
.
By
the
quickninge
power
of
Christ
/
(
I
do
beeleeue
)
that
his
here
vpon
earth
are
drawne
more
and
more
to
like
his
blessed
will
and
to
practise
the
same
/
yea
to
give
their
liues
rather
then
to
dishonor
their
God
in
the
will
and
voluntary
deniall
of
his
truth
/
and
the
breach
of
his
lawes
and
wil
/
in
any
point
revealed
vnto
them
.
His
revealed
will
I
beleeve
to
be
perfet●y
conteined
in
the
written
word
of
the
ould
and
newe
testament
given
by
the
holy
ghost
for
Instruction
and
confort
of
his
pore
church
as
longe
as
the
same
is
a
pilgrime
here
vpon
the
earth
.
This
Church
I
beleeve
to
be
a
companie
of
those
whom
the
word
calleth
saints
which
do
not
onely
professe
in
word
that
they
knowe
God
/
but
also
are
subiect
vnto
his
lawes
and
ordinance
in
deede
:
with
this
Church
I
do
beleev●
that
the
Lord
God
of
is
meere
fauour
hath
entred
into
couenant
that
he
will
be
their
God
/
&
they
shal
be
his
people
the
seales
of
this
his
convenant
are
only
two
/
Baptisme
and
the
Lord
supper
.
The
Church
here
vpon
earth
/
I
do
beleeve
not
to
be
perfect
/
although
in
regard
of
the
order
wich
the
Lord
hath
appointed
for
the
same
it
be
most
absolute
/
but
to
have
manie
blemishes
and
wantes
in
it
/
yet
I
assuredly
beleeve
that
all
th●
true
menders
thereof
shall
at
the
day
of
judgement
receive
their
perfect
consumation
by
Iesus
Christ
and
be
crowned
in
him
with
eternall
glory
of
his
meere
grace
/
end
not
for
anie
merit
of
theirs
.
Thorough
the
mercies
of
my
God
/
and
therefore
I
am
wilingly
content
to
vndergoe
my
trouble
in
this
life
for
his
name
sake
/
who
be
glorified
of
my
soule
and
body
and
of
his
saintes
for
ever
more
.
Amen
.
I
detest
all
heresies
/
sectes
schimes
/
and
errours
wether
newe
or
ould
by
whom
soeuer
they
have
been
inuented
as
puritinisme
/
donatism●
Anabatisterie
Libertinisme
Brounisme
&
all
the
dreames
and
dotages
of
the
familie
of
one
but
especially
all
popery
that
most
dredfull
religion
of
Antichrist
:
the
great
ennemie
of
the
Lord
Iesus
&
the
most
pestilent
aduersarie
of
all
the
thrones
of
kings
and
princes
.
So
that
I
abhorre
from
my
soule
that
whole
body
and
euery
part
of
that
Romish
religion
called
the
sonne
of
perdition
by
the
Spirit
of
God
/
because
the
Lord
hath
determined
vterly
to
consume
it
by
his
appearinge
in
the
brightnes
of
his
gospell
before
his
second
cominge
.
I
detest
that
proud
superiority
of
this
man
of
sinne
whereby
as
the
Apostle
spake
he
hath
exalted
him selfe
in
his
members
and
power
to
beare
rule
over
the
truth
and
members
of
Christevē
over
all
that
is
caled
holy
:
wholy
opposeth
himselfe
as
most
blodie
aduersary
a
gainst
all
truths
and
seruants
of
the
Lord
which
wil
not
suffer
him
with
his
sard
infernall
power
toreigne
over
them
instead
of
Christ
in
his
blessed
ordinances
.
I
detest
in
regard
of
theyr
offices
(
I
speake
not
of
the
meanes
persones
touching
the
Lords
election
)
the
head
of
that
body
the
Pope
his
cursed
triple
crowne
/
his
vsurped
Iuridiction
of
eyther
of
both
swords

I
det●st

I
detest

wherby

placed
in
their
cursed
offices
/
theyr
devised
workes
wherin
they
are
jmployed
by
reason
of
theyr

/
as
the
false
doctrines
and
false
worship
of
that
kingdome
with
the
livings
and
maintenances
wherby
they
are
maintayned
in
their
offices
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
members
of
Christ
cannot
have
anie
communion
or
fellowshipe
with
anie
of
those
cursed
jnuentions
in
so
much
as
they
can
have
no

communion
of

or
with
anie
of

/
in
so
much
as
they
cannot
lawfullie
be
subiect
vnto
anie
parte
of
the
ecclesiasticall
power
of
these
offices
:
Therfore
it
is
that
I
dare
not

over
which
anie

and
where
anie
of

:
for
I
am
forbidden
to
have
anie

with

vnfructfull
workes
of
darknes
though
it
be
vpon
pr●tence
of

of

/
vpon
payne
of

formente

Ad
if

not

the
ceremonies
of
Moses

as
Circoncision
wich
were

how
dare

the

as

I
acknowledge
from
my
hart
to
be
such
as
if
I
mainteined
not
the
vnitie
&
held
not
the
communion
of
the
same
doctrine
with
them
in
those
points
I
could
not
possibly
be
saved
/
for
out
of
that
communion
of
the
true
profession
which
her
Miestye
hath
established
in
these
and
the

rules
/
there
is
no
hop
of
saluation
:
but
to
joine
not
with
standing
with
the
publicke
worship
of
these
assemblies
of
the
land
/
I
dare
not
for
the
same
reasons
.
I
more
over
willingly
confesse
that
both
of
the
teachers
&
also
of
the
professors
within
these
assemblyes
of
the
land
/
have
so
imbraced
this
truth
doctrine
established
and
professed
in
this
land
/
that
the
Lord
in
his
infinite
goodnes
hath
graunted
them
the
fauor
to
shew
out
/
wherein
regard
of
Gods
election
I
protest
before
men
and
Angels
that
I
iudge
them
members
of
the
body
whereof
the
sonne
of
God
Iesus
Christ
is
the
head
/
onely
herein
the
Lord
be
merciful
vnto
them
as
vnto
my selfe
in
regard
of
my
sinnes
/
that
they
are
not
ordered
in
that
outward
order
which
Christ
Iesus
left
in
his
Church
but
instead
thereof
are
first
subiect
vnto
those
forenamed
offices
/
secondly
/
have
communion
with
ther
false
maner
of
callings
vnto
their
offices
:
Thirdlie
participate
with
a
great
parte
of
theyr
devised
workes
wherin
these
officers
are
imployed
:
fourthlie
with
the
false
maintenance
and
livings
fiftlie
are
mingled
with
the
knowne
profane
/
ignorant
and
disordered
persons
which
are
joint
members
with
them
in
their
assemblies
.
This
is
the
somme
of
my
faith
/
and
allegeance
to
my
God
and
my
Prince
/
here
is
the
some
of
the
wholle
difference
which
is
betweene
me
and
the
clergy
of
this
land
/
and
the
somme
of
the
whole
cause
for
the
which
I
and
divers
other
of
my
poore
brethren
are
judged
to
be
schismatikes
/
felons
/
heretikes
:
If
this
may
come
to
the
Royall
hands
of
my
souueraygne
and
to
the
veiwe
of
theyr
H.
H.
they
will
be
soone
induced
that
neyther
I
nor
any
other
that
hold
the
same
with
me
deserve
the
shortning
of
our
dayes
by
her
Maiesties
sword
for
these
things
And
here
is
all
that
euer
wee
hold
.
As
towching
that
error
/
concerning
the
repeating
of
the
Lords
prayēr
/
wherewith
wee
are
charged
/
far
be
it
even
far
be
it
that
wee
should
deny
the
same
or
anie
the
like
scripture
/
to
be
an
holy
forine
of
prayer
which
conteyneth
not
only
an
e●quisite
paterne
of
doctrine
which
a
Christian
soule
may
not
onlie
lawfully
say
/
but
also
with
great
comfort
have
the
vse
of
the
same
:
In
deed
wee
rather
hold
it
for
a
doctrine
then
prayer
/
the
abuse
in
the
often
repeating
of
it
/
wee
condemne
and
this
I
am
sure
was
the
judgement
in
this
point
of
those
holy
servants
of
God
who
nowe
rest
from
their
labors
.
The
good
which
this
land
getreth
outwardite
by
these
false
offices
afornamed
and
the
livings
belonging
vnto
them
is
/
the
traytors
(
as
Iesuistes
and
Seminary
Priests
are
drawen
by
that
hope
they
have
of
possessing
this
Babilonish
gould
/
to
become
the
vnnaturall
betrayers
of
theyr
naturall
Prince
and
Contrye
into
the
hands
of
strangers
:
wheras
if
these
offices
and
livings
were
by
publique
authority
once
removed
and
converted
to
her
Maiestyes
vse
/
the
Pope
would
have
no
occasion
to
send
over
these
locastes
/
they
would
be
no
baytes
to
alluer
them
hether
and
the
home
Papistes
would
be
vtterly
voyde
of
hope
to
see
their
expected
day
/
so
that
the
maintayning
of
these
offices
and
livings
/
theyr
devised
workes
and
callings
would
fall
:
with
them
is
ioyned
that
there
is
no
small
danger
of
her
Maiesticall
person
and
the
whole
state
of
this
land
/
I
doe
point
but
at
the
inconueniences
which
in
conscience
towards
her
Maiestye
and
my
contrie
/
I
am
bond
to
shew
/
they
that
are
wiser

would
not
I

thinke
me
worthie
to
be
smitten

this
shewing

.
Whatsoeuer
I
hold
in

points
controverted
I
hold
the

of
meere
conscience
towards
God
/
of
that
meere
destetation
which
in
conscience
I
am
boud
to
have
of
all
the
inventions

in

of
that
care
which
I
ought
to
have
of
the
salvation
and
safegarde
of
her
Maiestie
whome
the
Lord
preserve
for
ever
more

of

I
have
for
my
warrant
not
onlie
the
written
word
which
is
sufficient
/

also
in
the
points
of
greatest
moment
/
the
doctrine
of
the

established
by

evinced

I

if
on

I
testify
nothing

verity
in

am
vndoubtedlie
persuaded

:
I
most

crave
that
the
percing
edge
of
that
sword
may
not
in

be
turned
against

Death

I
thanke
God
I
feare
not
in

cause

for
I
know
that
the
sting
of
death
is
taken
away

that
they
are
blessed
which
die
in
the
Lord
for
witnessing
against
the

most
humblie
and
earnestlie
beseech

in

this

whic●
have
ben
in

,

the

they
may

proffesse

by

I
beseech
them
also
to
consider
what
a
lamentable
cause
it
is
that
wee
may
hold
fellowship
with
the
Romish
Church
in
the

thereof
without

canot
without

as

not

you

the

not

breach
in

by
the
taking
awaye
of

yet
to
the
discouraging
of
the

the

I

indeed

reioyce
that
you
are
made
worthy
for
CHRIST
cause
to
suffer

beare
al
these
things
:
And
I
beseech
you
in
the
bowels
of
Iesus
Christ
,
that
none
of
you
in
this
case
loke
vppon
his
perticular
estate

regard
the
generall
state
of
the
Church
of
God
that
the

may
goe

be
kept
together
whethersoeuer
it
shal
please
God

Oh
the
blessinge
wil
be
great
that

First
neglecting

Sion
,
the
Lord
will
sett
his

The

hath
not

to
be
gracious
vnto
Sion
you
shall
yet
finde
dayes
of
peace

This
Stampeing
&
treading
of
vs
vnder
his
feete
this
subuerting
of
our
cause
,
and
right
in
iudgement
is
done
by
him
to
the
end
that
we
should
search
and
trie
our
wayes
,
and
repent
vs
of
our
carelessnes
profannes
and
rebellion
in
his
sight
,
but
he
wil
yet
maintaine
the
cause
of
our
soules
and
redeeme
our
liues
,
if
we
returne
to
him
yea
he
wil
be
with
vs
in
fire
&
water
&
wil
not
forsakevs
if
our
harts
be
only
and
especially
of
the
building
of
Sion
whethersoeuer
we
goe
.
Let
not
those
of
you
then
that
either
haue
stocks
in
your
handes
,
or
some
likly
trades
to
liue
by
dispose
of
your
selues
where
it
may
be
most
commodious
for
your
outward
estate
and
in
the
meane
tyme
suffer
the
poore
ones
that
have
no
such
meanes
,
eyther
to
beare
the
whole
worke
vpon
their
weake
shoulders
,
or
to
ende
their
daies
in
sorowe
and
morning
▪
for
want
of
outward
and
inward
conforts
in
the
land
of
strangers
for
the
Lord
wil
be
an
auenger
of
all
such
dealings
.
But
cousult
with
the
whole
Church
,
yea
with
the
brethten
of
other
places
,
how
the
church
may
be
kept
togeather

built
whethersoeuer
they
go
,
let
not
the
poore
and
the
freendlesse
be
forced
to
stay
behinde
heere
and
to
breake
a
good
conscience
for
want
of
your
support
and
kindnesse
vnto
them
that
they
may
go
with
you
,
and
here
I
humbly
beseech
you
,
not
in
anie
outward
regard

as
I
shall
answer
before
my

that
you

will
accompanie

even
the

the

shall
not

what
they
shal
eate

or
wherwith
they
shal
be
clothed

and
in

time
I
doubt
not

they
wil
be
found
helpfull
&
not
burthensome
to
the
Church
only
I
beseech
you
〈◊〉
I
and
,
where
they
must
be
enforced
,
to
goe
againe

my

there
are

I

of

whoe
may

Be

of

one
of

by

Be

so

that

respects
seeming
good
to
his
wisdome
,
soe
also
that
we
might
learne
to
be

carefull
in

may
spare
