in

the

of
those

not

to

that

by
his

prouidence
,
hath
framed
so
good
a
gift
in
your

and
to
illumine
your

with
his

knowledge
,
wherby
your

and
can
be
able
thereby
to
discerne
falshood
from
truth
,
light
from
darkensse
,
pure
religion
from
vnwritten
verities
,
and
Gods
Euangely
from

:
so

may
increase

multiplie
the

in

Knowyng

Estate
,
to
be
suche
,
as
scarsly
I
might
for
want

CALLINGE
TO
MINDE
(
Good
Reader
)
the
estate
of
this
oure
myserable
tyme
,
knowing
that
CHRISTE
in
his
Gospell
hath
geuen
vs
knowledge
therof
,
forewarnyng
vs
therfore
to
th'
intent
that
our
mindes
should
not
be
troubled
or
caried
aboute
,
as
the
weather
Cocke
is
commonly
with
euery
puffe
and
smal
blast
of
Winde
.
Let
this
therefore
aduertise
thee
,
that
thou
looke
not
backe
from
that
Canonicall
and
heauenly
doctrine
,
Which
our
maister
Christe
hath
taught
,
and
confirmed
as
his
blessed
will
and
Testament
,
with
the
price
of
his
precious
death
and
bloudshedding
on
the
Crosse
:
with
which
he
hath
sealed
the
same
,
and
left
it
vnto
vs
and
our
posterities
,
that
we
and
they
which
shal
come
after
vs
might
teache
it
vnto
our
Children
,
as
a
law
giuen
by
him
to
be
obserued
for
euer
:
Then
sith
he
hath
so
mercyfully
and
louingly
delt
with
vs
,
shall
we
rewarde
his
good
will
,
with
ingratitude
?
or
shall
we
in
recompence
of
so
greate
benefites
yelde
or
quit
him
with
disdaine
?
No
,
rather
like
obedient
and
louynge
children
,
let
vs
indeuer
to
obey
his
commaundements
,
and
to
show
our selues
followes
of
his
worde
,
not
only
in
talke
but
in
deede
:
for
deedes
to
confirme
our
profession
are
required
,
not
that
by
them
we
may
merit
ought
at
all
:
for
faith
and
not
workes
are
our
iustificacion
,
yet
I
condemne
not
workes
,
for
they
are
the
fruites
of
faith
and
testefie
the
same
:
sundry
causes
haue
mooued
me
,
though
vnworthy
to
take
this
labour
in
hande
:
the
one
,
the
mutteringe
of
Papistes
,
whiche
mutter
there
and
here
,
as
oportunitie
seruith
their
turnes
,
strange
lies
and
newes
far
distant
from
truth
.
Another
cause
is
,
that
the
mindes
of
many
men
are
disquieted
and
brought
out
of
frame
by
the
vngodly
meanes
of
suche
▪
as
not
only
rebell
against
God
and
his
worde
,
but
also
agaynst
the
estate
of
this
Realme
,
our
Queene
and
dignitie
of
her
Crowne
:
and
so
through
the
meanes
and
actions
of
a
few
vnnaturall
braunches
,
stande
halfe
in
doubt
whether
they
may
turne
to
the
right
hande
or
the
left
:
this
therefore
may
be
to
comfort
the
one
,
to
discourage
and
vtterly
deface
th'
other
:
Whiche
not
only
purpose
the
ruine
and
spoyle
of
their
naturall
Nourse
and
countrie
,
but
also
as
their
vniust
dealynges
,
their
craftie
attempts
,
and
subtill
pretences
plainly
showe
and
demonstrate
the
domage
and
decay
of
our
moste
gratious
and
excellent
Princesse
,
whose
high
renowne
of
maiestie
euery
true
and
faithful
subiect
as
far
as
life
and
goods
wil
stretch
▪
ought
to
defend
,
support
and
maintaine
,
as
hir
Maiesties
person
is
the
lawfull
heire
of
the
famous
Prince
Kinge
Henrie
the
eight
(
who
was
)
a
suppresser
and
ouerthrower
of
all
superstition
and
Idolatrie
,
so
our
Delbora
doth
not
only
studie
to
vanquish
and
confounde
the
same
:
but
followeth
the
trace
of
hir
most
excellent
Father
,
a
wise
and
prudent
Salomon
,
as
did
that
yonge
and
godly
Ezechias
the
sixt
EDWARDE
hir
maiesties
valiant
brother
,
who
▪
as
she
planted
the
Lords
Vineyarde
,
and
repayred
the
walles
of
Sion
againe
,
Till
such
time
as
our
God
seing
our
ingratefulnesse
deliuered
vs
into
the
hands
of
the
Bulles
of
Basan
,
who
no
only
defaced
the
buildinge
substancially
framed
and
begon
:
but
more
then
this
,
gaue
the
greedy
Boare
of
Rome
free
libertie
to
enter
therunto
:
whose
spoiling
Tuskes
did
spoile
and
roote
vp
such
good
and
godly
Braunches
,
as
therin
did
beautifie
and
cause
the
same
increase
:
and
after
in
their
steads
planted
Dernell
weedes
and
stinking
Brambles
,
which
fruict
was
vnsauery
and
vnpleasaunt
before
GOD
,
who
for
the
greeuous
grones
,
the
Teares
,
and
plaintes
,
most
bitterly
throwne
forth
of
his
litle
flocke
and
Churche
,
restored
vs
againe
from
the
yoke
of
Cruell
and
bloudy
Pharo
,
and
in
place
of
CYSERA
or
DIOCLESIAN
,
who
alwayes
were
bente
,
to
worke
the
destruction
of
his
people
and
Churche
▪
shortned
their
rage
,
abated
their
pride
,
and
gaue
vs
a
wise
and
wittie
HESTER
,
a
godly
IVDITH
,
a
valiant
DEBORA
,
or
rather
a
chaste
SVSANNA
,
to
rule
,
to
gouerne
,
and
raygne
ouer
vs
,
whose
clemencie
we
can
witnesse
,
whose
loue
,
wee
coulde
neuer
want
,
but
euer
hath
abounded
towarde
hir
subiectes
:
and
as
for
the
loue
she
hath
to
GOD
wee
are
able
sufficiently
to
witnesse
:
hir
mercie
,
the
verie
obstinate
and
blinde
bluddringe
BALAMITS
can
sufficientlie
recorde
;
Why
then
doo
wee
so
disdainefully
recompence
hir
,
whom
we
are
bounde
by
GOD
and
nature
to
loue
and
obey
?
as
it
becometh
good
and
godly
subiects
to
do
.
Therefore
to
put
those
in
minde
that
be
negligent
,
of
their
duties
,
whiche
though
they
know
,
yet
they
neglect
to
execute
,
and
to
confirme
those
that
are
waueryng
:
as
to
condemne
the
whisperinges
of
Papistes
and
other
,
as
a
man
may
say
,
Iackes
of
both
sides
,
I
haue
framed
this
worke
,
called
A
freindly
Larum
,
or
faithfull
warning
to
the
true
harted
Subiects
of
Englande
:
Wherin
is
discouered
and
plainelie
set
forth
vnto
all
faithfull
people
,
as
well
the
obstinate
and
malicious
mindes
of
the
Papist
and
Rebels
here
in
England
:
as
also
the
cruel
murthers
and
shamelesse
persecution
latelie
done
in
other
places
by
the
consent
of
their
patron
the
monstrous
Pope
,
the
onely
cause
of
this
whurly burlie
,
and
disquietnesse
of
all
Christendome
:
the
verie
Antechrist
or
Babilonicall
strompet
▪
that
S.
Iohn
speaketh
of
in
his
Reuelation
,
whose
Sorcerie
and
craftie
iuglinges
haue
bewitched
and
disceaued
the
Princes
of
the
Worlde
,
and
blinded
their
externall
eyes
from
beholdinge
the
light
of
Gods
profounde
and
endelesse
wisedome
:
Whiche
when
thou
hast
Read
,
then
I
pray
thee
iudge
according
to
my
plaine
and
simple
meaning
▪
and
not
vnto
knowledge
:
for
if
thou
looke
for
any
Eloquence
or
fine
Phrases
of
Rethorike
,
thou
art
deceaued
:
and
thus
lothe
to
trouble
or
molest
thy
minde
with
tediousnesse
,
or
to
wearie
thy
minde
with
reading
,
so
grose
and
rude
Letters

deuoyde
of

I
commit
the
to
