So is the Bible of false translation , To cut and mangle it , is no damnation . The Register also if so we do serue , We serue it no other , then it doth deserue . For why should new Heretiques be thus enrold , Enrole good Catholiques long dead of old . Out with new Heretiques , hence let them go , Register Catholiques , and register no mo .

In
the
daies
of
King
the
Emperour
made
request
to
the
said
King
and
his
Counsell
to
permit
Lady
to
haue
Masse
in
her
house
without
preiudice
of
the
Law
.
And
the
Counsell
on
a
time
,
sitting
vpon
matters
,
of
policie
,
hauing
that
in
question
,
sent
then
Archbishop
of
Canterburie
,
and
then
Bishop
of
London
,
to
entreate
the
King
for
the
same
:
Who
comming
to
his
Grace
alleadged
their
reasons
and
perswasions
for
the
accomplishing
thereof
.
So
the
King
hearing
what
they
could
say
,
replied
his
answere
againe
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
so
groundedly
,
grauely
,
and
fully
,
that
they
were
enforced
to
giue
place
to
his
replication
,
and
grant
the
same
to
be
true
.
Then
they
after
long
debating
in
this
manner
with
his
Maiestie
,
laboured
politiquely
in
an
other
sort
,
and
alleadged
what
danger
the
denying
thereof
might
bring
to
his
Grace
,
what
breach
of
amitie
of
the
Emperours
part
,
what
troubles
,
what
vnkindnesse
,
and
what
occasions
sundry
waies
it
would
enforce
,
&c.
Vnto
whom
the
King
answered
,
willing
them
to
content
themselues
,
for
he
would
(
he
said
)
spend
his
life
and
all
he
had
,
rather
then
to
agree
and
grant
to
that
he
knew
certainely
to
be
against
the
truth
.
The
which
when
the
Bishops
heard
,
notwithstanding
they
vrged
him
still
to
grant
,
and
would
by
no
meanes
haue
his
nay
.
Then
the
good
King
seeing
their
importunate
suite
,
that
needes
they
would
haue
his
Maiestie
grant
thereto
,
in
the
end
his
tender
hart
bursting
out
in
bitter
weeping
and
sobbing
,
desired
them
to
be
content
.
Whereat
the
Bishops
themselues
seeing
his
zeale
and
constancie
,
wept
as
fast
as
he
,
and
tooke
their
leaue
of
his
Grace
:
and
comming
from
him
,
the
Archbishop
tooke

his
Schoolemaster

said

Ah

WOrshipfull
and
my
louing
brother
in
the
Lord
,
I
haue
receiued
your
louing
aduertisements
by
writing
,
and
I
honour
you
the
more
aswell
for
that
I
see
thereby
your
sincere
affection
continued
towards
me
,
as
also
for
your
singular
zeale
euer
to
maintaine
the
Gospell
.
In
which
respects
I
take
in
good
part
your
seuere
reprehension
and
distast
of
the
aduise
I
lately
gaue
for
a
milder
course
in
matters
of
Religion
,
then
hath
beene
for
many
yeares
in
this
Realme
followed
.
Whereas
you
protest
to
rem●in
still
my
friend
(
notwithstanding
our
difference
in
opinion
touching
this
point
)
therein
appeareth
your
well
grounded
affection
and
loue
towards
me
,
and
I
could
wish
that
all
our
brethren
would
keepe
the
same
course
of
charitie
towards
all
men
,
howsoeuer
they
differ
from
vs
in
sense
or
opinion
.
So
should
we
beare
the
marke
of
true
Religion
,
and
by
this
badge
be
knowen
to
be
Christs
disciples
if
we
loue
our
Enemies
.
Christ
commannded
vs
to
loue
our
neighbour
,
and
declared
,
as
you
know
,
that
the
Samaritan
was
neighbour
to
the
Iewe
,
and
th●refore
not
to
be
excluded
from
his
loue
,
howbeit
otherwise
he
could
not
communicate
with
him
in
diuine
affaires
.
Your
zeale
is
commendable
in
that
you
say
with
Paul
:
for
with
him
you
may
so
pray
that
they
which
withstand
and
hinder
the
course
of
the
Gospell
were
cut
off
and
rooted
out
:
But
in
that
you
wish
them
to
be
cut
off
by
the
sword
,
and
I
contrariwise
by
the
force
of
Gods
word
,
in
this
our
opinions
are
different
.
Wherefore
my
drift
is
in
this
Apologie
and
defence
,
first
to
set
downe
plainely
my
opinion
,
and
then
to
lay
open
the
reasons
that
mooued
me
thereto
.
And
so
to
come
to
the
matter
.
I
wish
with
you
and
pray
as
Christ
himselfe
did
,
that
all
the
Kings
Maiesties
subiects
may
be
made
one
in
Christ
,
to
acknowledge
all
one
God
,
to
embrace
all
one
Faith
,
to
liue
vnder
the
rules
of

,
and
so
to

if
it
may
be
,
in

and
affection
that
we

,
and
this
we
both
agree
to

not

in

to
be
accompted
a
good
gouernour
,
or
right
politician
.
In
our
last
assembly
at
London
it
was
our
prayer
,
as
you
may
well
remember
,
that
the
Kings
Maiestie
(
exalted
to
so
great
a
Monarchie
and
gouernment
of
so
many
diuersly
affected
in
Religion
kingdomes
diuersly
sorted
,
and
affected
in
Religion
)
might
haue
that
gracious
vertue
of
the
Adamant
stone
to
draw
vnto
him
,
and
winne
to
vnity
in
Faith
the
people
of
diuerse
nations
so
committed
to
his
charge
.
For
who
of
vs
all
doth
not
desire
from
his
hart
that
the
Protestants
,
and
Papists
of
England
,
which
are
many
in
number
,
and
the
Papists
of
Ireland
,
where
there
are
fewe
or
none
other
,
and
the
Nobilitie
of
Scotland
,
of
the
which
no
small
number
no
small
number
incline
that
way
,
would
come
with
vs
to
the
pure
light
of
the
Gospell
,
and
to
our
reformed
Churches
.
You
remember
the
Profession
of
Faith
,
which
to
this
intent
and
purpose
we
procured
to
be
set
foorth
in
Print
at
his
Maiesties
first
ingresse
into
this
Realme
,
but
it
preuailed
not
,
and
had
it
not
been
the
respect
was
borne
his
Maiestie
,
it
had
beene
controuled
as
it
was
misliked
both
by
the
Protestant
,
and
Papist
.
And
since
that
to
further
and
aduance
our
cause
,
and
to
proceede
in
the
same
purpose
,
we
haue
in
peaceable
manner
done
what
in
vs
lyeth
.
Let
vs
hold
on
the
same
moderate
course
,
and
striue
to
preuaile
,
not
by
the
temporall
sword
of
his
Maiesties
power
,
but
endeuour
to
ouercome
by
the
eternall
sword
of
Gods
holy
word
.
Which
though
it
be
sweets
,
and
not
violent
,
yet
is
it
a
two
edged
sword
that
cutteth
on
euery
side
and
pierceth
more
deepely
to
winne
the
hart
of
man
and
alter
his
vnderstanding
for
planting
the
Gospell
,
then
any
humane
force
whatsoeuer
.
I
agree
further
with
you
,
that
as
it
is
a
point
of
good
husbandry
to
weede
the
Corne-fielde
before
the
weedes
haue
ouergrowen
the
corne
,
so
likewise
may
his
Maiestie
employ
his
temporall
sword
that
no
Cockle
be
sowen
or
rise
in
the
field
of
the
Lords
Church
vnder
his
protection
,
and
that
such
as
begin
to
spring
vp
may
betimes
be
cut
off
So
did
that
holy
King
Dauid
,
and
pleased
God
highly
therewith
.
Thus
much
your
arguments
do
prooue
sufficiently
.
For
in
this
sense
the
King
beareth
the
sword
to
destroy
all
sinne
,
and
sinners
that
is
to
say
betimes
while
sinne
and
sinfull
errours
are
newly
budding
,
and
may
be
cut
off
without
hurt
,
and
dammage
to
the
state
of
the
good
and
faithfull
.
And
it
is
our
part
to
be
watchfull
to
discouer
them
betimes
,
least
if
we
sleepe
too
long
they
spring
so
high
,
and
spreade
so
farre
that
whosoeuer
should
then
attempt
to
pull
them
vp
,
should
destroy
much
corne
withall
,
and
doe
more
harme
than
good
.
This
then
is
the
point
wherein
we
iarre
.
You
thinke
it
needfull
that
the
Kings
Maiestie
proceede
to
authorize
,
&
establish
our
Religion

,
to
represse
al
other

by

of
Lawes
,
such
as
were
practized
in
the
daies
of
the
late
Queene
against
vs
,
and
against
the
Papists
:
And
I
contrariwise
am
of
opinion
that
such
lawes
,
and
seueritie
are
in
our
case
vnprofitable
,
and
will-hurt
rather
then
helpe
the
aduancement
of
our
case
;
and
I
take
this
my
aduise
to
be
better
grounded
then
yours
in
the
written
word
,
to
approach
neerer
to
the
wisedome
and
course
of
Gods
diuine
prouidence
,
to
be
more
conformable
to
Christian
humanitie
,
to
beseeme
better
our
Prince
for
the
assurance
of
his
estate
and
the
aduancement
of
his
noble
issue
,
and
finally
to
agree
best
with
true
ciuill
policie
for
the
sweet
peace
,
rest
,
and
repose
of
this
our
Republike
&
increase
thereof
,
as
shall
appeare
by
the
experience
we
haue
seene
with
our
owne
eyes
and
in
these
our
daies
,
as
well
in
his
Maiesties
Dominions
,
as
in
all
Nations
round
about
vs
.
That
we
haue
slept
too
long
all
writers
agree
,
and
that
for
many
hundred
yeares
:
for
who
of
vs
doth
not
see
that
the
weedes
haue
ouergrowen
the
good
corne
,
taken
so
deepe
roote
and
so
farre
spred
,
that
amongst
his
Maiesties
subiects
there
are
two
for
one
of
a
contrary
Faith
and
opposite
to
ours
,
and
that
not
in
ceremonies
onely
(
for
then
we
neede
not
sturre
so
much
as
we
haue
done
)
but
in
substantiall
points
of
Faith
yea
as
we
esteeme
in
damnable
errours
,
which
we
haue
notified
in
our
bookes
as
well
against
D.
Whitguift
and
other
Protestants
as
against
the
Papists
.
To
destroy
to
destroy
all
all
these
that
are
in
faith
opposite
vnto
vs
were
ouermuch
crueltie
;
to
compell
them
to
an
externall
worship
against
their
conscience
were
no
lesse
dangerous
and
damnable
for
vs
then
for
them
;
to
impouerish
them
by
statute
lawes
were
to
impouerish
our selues
being
so
linked
to
them
as
many
waies
we
are
,
yea
it
were
a
greate
weakening
to
the
whole
body
of
the
estate
to
the
detriment
of
our
soueraigne
Prince
,
and
of
the
Common
wealth
:
for
the
wealth
of
the
subiect

the
treasure
(

)
of
the
king
,
and
the
multitude
of
his
people
is
his
strength
and
glorie
:
These
be
the
grounds
that
haue
moued
me
to
approue
and
perswade
a
more
temperat
course
in
matters
of
Religion
,
of
which
opinion

;
that
he
should
leaue

in
the
same
sort
as
he
found
it
and
take
vpon
him

title

(
who

was

chief●st
instruments
of

)
and
therefore
neuer
as
yet
receiued
by
any
of
our
reformed
Churches
.
At
his
Maiesties

comming
to
the
Crowne
we
expected
nothing
lesse
then
this
suddaine
calme
towards
the
Papistes

from

King
.
Some
that
lost
their
lands
and
countrey
are
now
restored
to

with
grace
,
which
made
me
wonder
at
the
first
,
and
enter
into
due
consideration
of
the
fact
,
when
(
conferring
with
some
of
knowen
wisedome
and
zeale
)
I
vnderstoode
that
the
Marques
Rosne
Lord
Treasurer
of
France
sent
hither
as
Embassadour
did
amongst
other
points
very
mainly

perswade
his
Maiestie
not
to
force
any
of
his
subiects
in
the
businesse
of
Religion
,
himselfe
being
(
as
you
know
)
a
very
good
Christian
.
And
further
vnderstanding
how
quietly
our
brethren
in
France
liue
together
with
the
Papists
vnder
lawes
prouided
for
that
purpose
,
I
finde
that
this
Nobleman
hath
dealt
honourably
with
his
Maiestie
,
and
giuen
the
same
aduise
by
which
the
King
his
Master
wonne
Fraunce
and
established
his
Crowne
in
peace
No
man

,
but
is
to
be
perswaded
by
the
eternall
sword
of
Gods
holy
word
.
Let
vs
then
examine
whether
this
aduise
agree
with
the
word
,
and
may
stand
with
the
true
zeale
of
the
gospel
.
It
seemeth
to
me
that
without
all
reply
the
case
is
alreadie
ouerruled
and
resolued
by
Christes
expresse
sentence
.
In
the
parable
of

errour
:
his
seruants
had
slept
so
long
that
the
blade
shot
vp
and
ouertopt
the
wheate
before
it
was
espied
:
the
zealous
ministers
of
the
truth
awaking
,
and
seeing
the
field
in
this
case
,
offered
to
go
and
roote
out
the
tares
.
say
they
.
This
is
the
question
betweene
vs
.
Your
answeare
would
haue
beene
to
those
labourers
in
the
lords
haruest
,
Goe
pull
them
vp
by
the
rootes
,
but
the
lords
answeare
was
farre
otherwise
:
Let
them
alone
(
saith
he
)
and
let
them
growe
togeither
vntill
the
haruest
,
Which
by
his
owne
interpretation
is
the
end
of
the
worlde
.
and
he
giueth
this
reason
thereof
.
Least
in
pulling
vp
the
Cockle
ye
roote
vp
also
the
wheate
.
If
Christ
will
haue
it
thus
why
do
you
blame
my
aduise
that
a
Christian
king
should
do
the
same
rather
then
vse
the
sword
of
force
and
violence
vpon
any
the
like
occasions
.
The
reason
that
our
Sauiour
alledgeth
is
in
our
case
most
pregnant
and
weighty
.
For
whereas
in
all
his
Maiesties
Dominions
men
of
all
Religions
are
so
lincked
together
with
vs
in
blood
,
alliance
,
frendship
,
and
otherwise
that
in
pulling
vp
the
one
roote
the
other
combined
therewith
must
necessarily
follow
or
take
some
harme
,
in
wishing
his
Maiestie
to
take
that
course
of
violence
we
sholde
not
only
wound
many
that
are
neere
vnto
vs
,
but
also
greately
preiudise
our selues
as
hath
appeared
by
the
attempt
to
roote
out
the
Papists
in
the
late
Queenes
daies
,
when
many
of
our
owne
brethren
were
brought
with
them
to
extreame
calamity
.
The
father
being
a
Papist
was
throwen
out
of
his
house
,
and
spoiled
of
all
his
goodes
:
his
wife
and
children
vndonne
and
pressed
with
misery
although
they
weare
most
zealous
in
the
Lord
;
and
we
that
had
matched
in
their
families
were
by
these
meanes
defrauded
of
our
expected
succession
to
their
goods
and
liuinges
.
When
for
the
same
cause
any
one
of
calling
lost
his
life
or
his
goods
or
otherwise
was
but
in
disgrace
,
did
not
all
such
loose
their
support
as
were
linked
vnto
him
or
depended
vpon
him
for
their
seruice
,
and
aduancement
whereof
greate
numbers
were
no
weedes
but
very
good
Corne
?
Wherefore
I
cannot
like
the
reuiuing
of
such
a
course
again
,
sith
as
you
see
it
proceedeth
not
from
the
spirit
of
our
Sauior
but
rather
from
passion
,
or
at
the
least
from
vndiscreet
zeale

The
weedes
I
confesse
doe
hinder
the
growth
of
the
good
corne
,
and
are
there
with
no
lesse
damage
,
then
was
the
fruitlesse
figtree
in
the
vineyard
of
the
Lord
.
and
yet
the
Lord
of
the
vineyard
was
easily
intreated
to
deale
not
by
threatnings
to
cut
it
downe
,
but
rather
to
digge
about
it
and
to
dung
it
in
hope
of
fruite
thereafter

What
a
losse
had
it
beene
then
to
haue
cut
them
off
in
their
vnfruitfull
season
?
We
should
rather
in
the
spirit
of
meekenesse
hartely
pray
for
their
conuersion
and
intreate
delay
of
their
confusion
were
they
as
sinnfull
as
Sodome
,
that
so
doing
we
might
be
knowen
to
be
the
true
seede
of

If
you
say
the
trees
in
question
are
not
onely
fruitelesse
but
hurtfull
in
the
vineyard
and
in
his
Maiesties
Dominions
most
dangerous
;
I
answere
that
all
weedes
are
hurtfull
in
the
corne
yet
not
in
all
cases
to
be
rooted
out
.
Were
not
the
Iebusites
hurtfull
when
they
annoyed
the
people
of
the
Lord
with
their
continuall
warres
and
scandalous
idolatrie
?
yet
for
other
respects
the
Lord
would
haue
them
remaine
in
the
Land
of
promise
with
the
Iewes
.
Yea
the
Iewes
(
although
they
crucified
the
Sonne
of
God
)
are
suffered
to
liue
in
Christian
countries
according
to
their
Law
.
We
reade
that
the
Samaritans
were
so
vnkind
to
our
Sauiour
,
that
they
would
neither
receaue
him
in
their
townes
,
nor
yet
giue
him
bread
for
his
money
.
Whereat
Iames
and
Iohn
(
as
they
thought
of
a
good
zeale
)
could
haue
found
in
their
harts
to
haue
seene
them
consumed
with
fire
from
heauen
:
But
the
Lord
rebuked
them
saying
This
meeke
spirit
of
the
Lord
I
wish
were
followed
of
all
in
hart
,
word
,
and
deede
,
and
not
the
ouerthrowe
of
our
aduersaries
in
faith
sought
by
the
arme
of
flesh
.
For
they
being
with
vs
all
members
of
one
body
,
and
subiect
to
one
Soueraigne
,
we
must
accompt
them
as
brethren
&
loue
them
as
our
friends
,
but
much
more
because
we
are
all
children

is

of
God
gift
of
God
alone
,
and
is
not
to
be
beaten
with
hammers
into
the
head
or
heart
of
man
.
It
dependeth
not
of
man
,
but
of
the
election
and

.
None
comes
to
me
(
saith

)

whom
my
Father
draweth
:
who
therefore
Compell

vsed
violence
,
but
by
his
word
and
meeknesse
drew
at
length
all
the
world
to
him
and
his
faith
.
Vpon
these
grounds
of
Scripture
and
Christes
example
,
the
first
and
most
learned
of
our
profession
haue
taught
,
that
none
may
be
compelled
to
the
faith
,
and
therefore
haue
written
bitterly
against
those
who
at
our
first
appearing
sought
by
sword
and
fire
to
root
vs
out
.
And
can
we
for
shame
put
in
execution
our selues
what
we
condemne
in
others
,
or
is
doctrine
to
be
altered
with
the
exchange
of
our
state
and
condition
?
What
may
his
Maiestie
thinke
of
vs
,
if
now
we
recall
the
doctrine
which
we
haue
heretofore
taught
to
be
well
warranted
by
Gods
word
?
Christ
his
words
are
infallible
,
it
is
the
heauenly
Father
alone
that
can
draw
soules
to
Christianitie
,
and
it
is
the
internall
vnction
of
his
spirit
that
teacheth
it
,
and
planteth
it
in
mans
heart
.
And
therefore
in
this
case
let
vs
lay
force
aside
,
and
leaue
it
to
Gods
goodnesse
,
to
draw
those
whom
he
hath
elected
:
and
in
the
meane
time
not
to
repine
at
the
prudence
of
our
Prince
,
if
he
vse
and
employ
all
his
subiects
,
howsoeuer
affected
in
Religion
,
to
the
strengthening
of
his
state
and
benefit
of
the
Common-wealth
.
Faith
is
the
gift
of
God
,
the
gift
of
God
first
Teachers
and
Professours
I
denie
not
,
but
that
he
must
labour
to
draw
all
his
subiects
to
the
trueth
;
but
we
differ
in
the
meanes
,
which
I
holde
to
be
Gods
holy
word
.
haue
taught
to
this
effect
,
that
euery
man
may
reade
the
Scriptures
and
search
the
trueth
of
himselfe
as
God
shall
inspire
him
,
and
we
hoped
that
by
this
meanes
all
might
finde
the
trueth
,
and
come
to
the
vnitie
of
the
same
faith
.
But
we
see
it
hath
not
succeeded
so
well
as
we
expected
:
and
I
feare
the
cause
hath
beene
for
that
in
times
past
the
rigour
of
statute
lawes
hath
as
it
were
fettered
the
Gospell
:
and
the
booke
of
Articles
set
downe
by
a
few
heads
without
conference
with
their
brethren
,
hath
hindred
our
Christian
libertie
in
the
interpretation
thereof
,
with
lesse
shew
of
trueth
than
did
before
the
decrees
of
Generall
Councels
,
and
the
vniforme
consent
of
ancient
Fathers
.
For
in
vaine
doth
a
man
reade
and
search
the
trueth
,
if
he
may
not
as
freely
interpret
scripture
as
reade
it
.
And
why
should
we
forbid
any
to
be
heard
in
his
interpretation
whereas
in
this
time
of
so
many
sects
and
Religions
both
within
the
Realme
,
and
abroad
,
we
may
,
as
Paul
saith
,
better
iudge
of
the
trueth
,
when
we
haue
heard
with
patience
what
euery
man
can
say
and
alledge
in
his
cause
?
He
that
commandeth
vs
to
try
and
examine
the
spirits
whether
they
be
of
God
or
no
,
would
neuer
giue
aduice
to
extinguish
them
,
or
forbid
vs
to
know
them
,
and
vpon
what
ground
they
relie
.
Some
lawes
forbidding
men
to
expound
the
word
,
otherwise
than
it
seemed
good
to
the
Church
established
by
the
late
Queene
,
were
once
in
force
:
which
lawes
howsoeuer
they
might
seeme
tolerable
in
respest
of
her
,
(
whom
the
Apostle
would
not
permit
to
speake
in
the
Congregation
,
for
that
she
was
a
woman
,
and
not
fit
to
iudge
in
such
matters
,
if
a
conference
had
beene
granted
,
she
being
lesse
grounded
in
the
knowledge
of
Gods
law
than
our selues
)
yet
now
in
the
reigne
of
his
Maiestie
,
who
is
profound
in
learning
,
and
mature
in
iudgement
,
free
conference
may
be
permitted
for
the
libertie
of
the
Gospell
,
aswell
in
the
free
interpretation
as
in
free
reading
of
it
,
and
the
contrarie
lawes
repealed
as
ouer
violent
in
such
a
cause
,
and
preiudiciall
to
the
bolting
out
of
the
trueth
,
or
at
the
least
suspended
vntill
a
iust
triall
be
made
by
a
learned
and
amiable
conference
thorow
all
the
points
of
our
controuersies
.
This
were
a
sweet
way
to
come
to
vnitie
,
or
if
any
force
at
all
were
to
be
vsed
in
matters
of
faith
,
it
should
be
rather
to
compell
such
as
seeme
to
be
in
errour
to
be
present
at
such
conference
,
than
to
force
them
without
triall
to
shew
outwardly
to
be
of
another
profession
than
in
heart
they
are
.
how
fruitlesse
a
thing
it
is
,
and
might
be
preiudiciall
to
the
King
and
State
,
the
wise
Gouernour
Constantius
,
father
to
our
Constantine
the
great
,
may
teach
vs
.
Who
desirous
to
know
what
sort
of
Christians
he
might
best
trust
,
set
forth
an
Edict
,
that
whosoeuer
should
refuse
to
doe
sacrifice
to
the
Idols
,
should
be
disarmed
,
dishonoured
,
displaced
,
and
suffer
further
punishment
at
the
Emperours
pleasure
.
Whereupon
some
of
his
Christian
Captaines
and
Souldiers
did
sacrifice
to
the
Idols
:
others
standing
constant
in
the
faith
wherin
they
were
baptized
,
would
neither
change
in
heart
,
nor
yet
in
outward
shew
seeme
other
than
true
and
faithfull
Christians
.
The
wisdome
of
this
Constantius
(
though
then
a
Pagan
)
was
such
,
as
he
iudged
those
Christians
,
that
denied
their
faith
by
this
outward
act
of
Idolatry
,
most
vnwoorthy
to
serue
him
,
who
of
a
base
and
seruile
feare
had
forsaken
the
God
they
serued
:
but
cherished
and
highly
honoured
the
other
,
as
men
that
by
their
Religion
had
learned
to
be
faithfull
to
whomsoeuer
they
had
giuen
their
troth
.
This
point
of
so
deepe
consideration
in
a
Pagan
seemeth
admirable
,
as
it
is
exceeding
comfortable
to
vs
all
to
see
how
the
Lord
hath
giuen
the
like
measure
of
vnderstanding
to
our
King
,
who
among
many
instructions
giuen
the
Prince
his
sonne
,
obserued
the
same
ground
for
triall
of
his
subiects
,
and
confessed
himselfe
,
that
he
neuer
found
any
more
faithfull
to
him
in
all
his
distresses
,
than
such
as
had
beene
faithfull
to
the
Queene
his
mother
,
who
were
not
all
(
you
know
)
of
his
Religion
.
How
certaine
a
triall
this
is
to
discerne
loyall
hearts
,
he
will
easily
perceiue
,
that
looketh
into
the
state
of
our
dayes
,
wherein
as
we
see
more
sects
,
and
more
inconstancie
in
beliefe
,
than
in
any
other
age
since
Christ
,
so
withall
we
finde
lesse
fidelitie
in
friend
,
lesse
trust
in
seruants
,
and
more
dissembling
in
all
states
,
than
euer
heretofore
was
heard
or
practized
.
(
sayth
Christ
and
thinke
you
that
in
those
dayes
he
shall
finde
faith
and
fidelitie
of
one
man
to
another
?
In
the
same
measure
that
faith
is
broken
toward
God
in
heauen
,
it
will
breake
and
faile
assuredly
towards
man
in
earth
.
In
matter
of
faith
(
sayth
Paul
)
the
heart
and
tongue
should
agree
together
And
shall
we
aduise
our

,
who
hath
be●ne

well
brought
vp
in
the
schoole
of

,
to
vse
such
meanes
with
his
subiects

matters
of
their

may
separate
their
outward
behauiour
from
their
inward
conscience
,
or
teach
them
to
be
d●sloyall
to
himselfe
,
by
forcing
them
to
be
false
to
God
in

to
their

damnation
,
because
therein
they
sinne
against
their
owne
consciences
:
yet
sure
it
is
,
that
as
no
man
can
alter
his
opinion
as
he
list
or
at
his
pleasure
,
so

can
neuer
change

The

neuer

,
and
if
we
will
bring
all
to
the
course
of
the
Primitiue
Church
,
we
must
note
that
then
no
violence
was
vsed
to
establish
the
Gospell
.
The
Scriptures
were
searched
,
but
the
interpretations
were
not
restrained
as
you
may
see
and
shall
we
now
stop
mens
mouthes
and
tye
them
with
statute
lawes
to
the
iudgement
of
a
fewe
and
make
their
opinions
as
a
Popish
Decree
,
and
that
too
,
before
due
examination
and
triall
?
In
the
Primitiue
Church
there
arose
a
controuersie
whether
the
Law
of
Moises
were
still
to
be
obserued
together
with
the
Law
of
Christ
,
for
appeasing
whereof
the
Iewes
tooke
one
way
not
much
vnlike
to
yours
,
the
Apostles
an
other
way
such
as
I
now
perswade
.
The
course
of
the
Apostles
was
the
learned
in
both
Lawes
held
a
councell
and
conference
and
resolued
the
question
to
the
contentment
of
all
the
Christians
which
were
before
of
different
opinion
in
the
matter
.
This
course
was
then
taken
,
and
because
Christ
promised
to
be
where
Christians
in
his
name
should
thus
assemble
and
conferre
together
to
finde
out
the
truth
,
the
Christians
from
that
time
in
like
case
haue
taken
the
same
course
.
Pastors
and
Bishops
of
the
whole
world
were
called
together
in
the
first
councell
of
Nice
where
that
blasphemous
Arrius
(
who
denied
Christ
to
be
God
)
was
yet
inuited
to
the
triall
of
his
Doctrine
,
and
was
heard
,
what
he
could
say
for
defence
thereof
;
and
so
from
age
to
age
as
heresies
haue
risen
in
the
Church
like
course
of
conference
hath
beene
taken
to
confirme
the
faithfull
and
conuert
the
misbeleeuers
,
euen
vntill
these
late
daies
as
appeareth
by
those
conferences
which
haue
beene
in
Germanie
not
onely
among
the
Papists
,
but
also
among
the
followers
of
those
notable
reformers
M.
Luther
and
M.
Caluin
by
reason
of
the
diuersities
of
their
opinions
in
matters
of
Faith
.
The
Iewes
thought
by
whippes
and
threatnings
to
stop
the
mouths
of
Christs
Disciples
,
that
they
should
not
perswade
nor
speake
in
the
name
of
Iesus
:
but
the
more
they
were
forbid
the
more
they
spake
as
it
hath
also
fallen
out
among
vs
of
late
yeares
in
England
.
Such
Constitutions
therefore
in
my
opinion
are
not
conuenient
.
and
as
for
my selfe
,
as
I
doe
not
misdoubt
the
truth
of
my
beleefe
or
feare
any
conference
or
disputation
with
any
contrarie
sect
,
so
am
I
not
wedded
in
such
sort
to
mine
owne
sense
,
that
I
altogether
disdaine
other
mens
iudgements
in
the
true
meaning
of
the
Scriptures
,
especially
of
those
most
auncient
and
therefore
most
reuerend
assemblies
from
all
coastes
of
the
earth
where
Christians
liued
,
which
being
neere
to
the
time
of
the
Apostles
could
not
but
giue
great
light
what
doctrine
the
Apostles
had
taught
in
those
Countreyes
,
and
in
what
sense
the
Scriptures
were
deliuered
.
In
this
sort
did
M.
Iuell
openly
at
Pauls
Crosse
confidently
challendge
the
Papists
,
and
in
case
that
they
should
disagree
from
him
in
the
sense
and
interpretation
of
the
Scriptures
,
he
was
content
to
referre
himselfe
to
the
vniforme
Faith
of
the
Fathers
in
the
first
sixe
hundred
yeares
.
For
it
was
not
likely
that
Gods
Church
Gates
of
hell
Gods
Church
was
in
so
fewe
yeares
ouerthrowen
or
that
any
but
the
Apostles
could
haue
that
priuiledge
to
plant
Christian
doctrine
in
all
nations
of
the
earth
as
noteth
Tertullian
.
This
Challenge
of
M.
Iuells
was
accepted
by
his
aduersaries
,
and
many
a
good
Soule
that
had
care
of
saluation
and
desire
of
the
truth
was
much
edified
thereby
,
hoping
that
by
this
meanes
the
truth
would
come
to
light
,
and
which
were
the
primitiue
faith
and
doctrine
of
the
Apostles
be
easily
discerned
.
And
when
some
violent
heades
perswaded
that
M.
Iuells
challendge
should
proceede
no
further
but
that
the
answeares
of
his
aduersaries
should
be
by
Proclamation
repressed
,
many
began
to
stagger
and
thinke
that
the
truth
was
rather
on
their
side
,
for
otherwise
(
said
they
)
why
should
not
the
answeres
be
seene
and
read
,
especially
where
M.
Iuells
replies
were
rife
in
euery
mans
hands
.
For
most
certaine
it
is
that
the
truth
feareth
no
triall
,
and
flieth
not
the
open
pulpits
and
publique
disputations
.
The
learned
writers
tooke
it
then
for
a
disgrace
to
their
writings
to
be
quitte
by
Proclamation
which
thing
once
(
my
selfe
Note
well
being
in
company
at
a
dinner
)
was
cast
in
M.
Iuells
dish
,
and
hence
it
proceede
that
the
answeres
of
the
aduersaries
the
more
they
were
forbid

And
in

kinde

For
as
the
truth
cannot
be
ouercome
,
so
errour
and
heresies
cannot
long
stand
but
will
at
length
of
them selues
perish
,
and
it
is
certaine
that
heresies
,
which
arise
among
Christians
,
are
,
as
Augustine
well
noteth
,
like
the
little
brookes
which
by
great
showers
swell
vp
for
a
time
so
mightily
,
as
they
seeme
to
be
great
riuers
,
and
runne
with
such
violence
that
they
beare
away
or
shake
very
maine
foundations
.
To
passe
ouer
these
torrents
in
their
pride
,
it
were
too
dangerous
and
rash
an
attempt
,
to
seeke
to
hinder
their
current
were
no
lesse
folly
,
In
patience
these
waters
are
with
pleasure
seene
to
fall
,
because
they
proceede
not
from
any
true
spring
as
riuers
doe
.
So
fareth
it
with
all
heresies
,
and
teachers
of
errour
.
They
destroy
themselues
at
length
though
no
force
for
the
time
can
tame
them
,
the
reason
whereof
is
truely
deliuered
by
Christ
in
those
words
.
By
this
then
you
see
that
violence
is
not
the
best
meanes
to
plant
or
conserue
the
truth
,
not
to
destroy
errour
.
I
could
therefore
wish
that
an
easier
hand
were
caried
towards
all
of
what
Religion
soeuer
,
and
the
rest
left
to
God
who
knoweth
best
the
season
and
meanes
to
compasse
that
which
may
be
most
for
his
glory
.
And
if
forraine
examples
may
perswade
aught
,
we
see
how
the
French
King
although
he
be
now
no
more
of
the
Reformed
Religion
findeth
himselfe
bound
in
common
humanitie
not
to
persecute
them
of
the
Religion
,
because
he
found
them
alwaies
faithfull
vnto
him
and
ready
to
maintaine
his
title
to
the
Crowne
.
If
this
course
of
proceeding
be
esteemed
honorable
in
him
,
how
can
any
man
iustly
dislike
that
our
King
should
maintaine
in
their
estate
and
dignitie
such
of
this
realme
of
England
,
as
,
notwithstanding
diuersitie
of

,
were
alwaies
ready
to
make
good
his
Right
,
and
when
time
serued
receiued
him

all
ioy
and
gladnesse
?
And
if
for
the
fault
of
a
fewe
the
whole
number
were
to
be
condemned
,
our
partie
might
exspect
but
small

,
among
whom
some
haue
beene
found
more

may
appeare

was

the
experience
as
well
of
those
that
endure
them
,
as
of
those
that
haue
bent
their
forces
by
violence
to
roote
them
out
;
as
first
for
example
,
our
late
Queene
was
not
of
her selfe
enclined
to
force
or
constraine
the
consciences
of
the
Papistes
her
subiects
,
and
with
that
moderate
course
which
she
held
in
the
beginning
of
her
raigne
she
gained
the
generall
good
liking
of
all
parts
,
and
liued
in
great
securitie
of
her
person
:
But
when
she
was
once
drawne
by
men
of
violent
spirits
to
roote
them
out
by
losse
of
fortunes
,
libertie
,
and
life
,
she
found
by
experience
that
the
more
they
were
afflicted
the
more
their
numbers
daily
increased
,
and
her selfe
put
often
in
feare
as
well
of
insurrections
at
home
,
as
inuasions
from
abroade
vnder
colour
of
relieuing
men
so
grieuously
oppressed
.
The
greatest
force
that
euer
she
vsed
to
roote
them
out
was
about
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
and
inquirie

made
in

yeare
following

of

Towre
and

haue
increased

circuit
of
that
yeare

She
assaied
an
other
way
by
banishment
of
some
,
losse
of
goods
and
life
of
others
,
yet
left
she
at
her
death
more
Papistes
then
when
she
first
began
those
violent
courses
;
besides
huge
numbers
of
close

You
will
perhaps
reply
that
in

our

had
better
successe
when
they
tooke
armes
in
the
daies
of
his
Maiesties
mother
for
the
spreading
of
the
Gospell
yet
you
must
confesse
that
it
was
but
small
discretion
to
set
all
vpon
the
vncertaintie
of
a
battaile
.
Many
like
violent
attempts
haue
beene
practized
in
that
Realme
through
zeale
of
Religion
,
but
by
clemencie
and
moderation
his
Maiestie
hath
not
onely
escaped
the
dangers
,
but
also
made
himselfe
a
peaceable
Master

ouer
them
all
,
imitating

that
most
renouned
French
King
Henry
who
perceiuing
the
fire
of

wars
to
kindle
betweene
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
who
was
of
the
Religion
,
and
the
house
of
Loraine
would
breake
neither
with
the
one
nor
the
other
,
but
fauoured
them
both
so
farre
,
as
in
the
end
he
made
himselfe
peaceably
Lord
Reade
the
Answere
peaceably
head
of
them
both
,

afterwards
wholy
depended

his

To
continue
yet
further
in
the
affaires
of
Fraunce
,
they
that
haue
seene
the
successe
may
witnesse
that
no
violence
could
worke
out
them
of
the
Religion
in
the

and

of

and
since
the
said
King
Henries
death
the
force
of
Spaine
ioyned
with
Fraunce
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Dukes
of
Parma
and
Du
Maine
did
not
so
much
preuaile
in
Fraunce
as
did
the
Bishop
of
Rome
his
courteous
entreating
the
now
King
and
his
adherents
although
of
a
contrary
Religion
vnto
him

If
the
Pope
will
for
his
more
aduantage
yeeld
to
them
in
some
things
who
were
his
greatest
enemies
,
what
neede
we
be
so
straight
laced
against
our
owne
Countreymen
for
matters
of
Religion
?
May
not
his
Maiesties
example
of
clemencie
towards
the
Papistes
heere
,
mooue
some
Prince
abroade
to
be
fauourable
to
our

?
Is
not
the
Masse
suffered
at
Rochell
,
and
other
like
townes
in
Fraunce
in
hope
that
they
of
the
Religion
may
be
like-suffered
in
Paris
and
other
such
townes
in

?
Haue
not
our

so
that

might
haue

libertie
in

If
we
haue
the
truth
why
should
we
feare
that
other
Religions
should
haue
libertie
with
vs
?
and
why
may
not
the
King
doe
as
the
Queene
mother
did
in
Fraunce
who
being
a
stranger
in
the
Countrey
,
and
at
the
death
of
her
husband
the
gouernement
of
the
Realme
falling
into
her
hands
during
the
minoritie
of
her
children
,
did
iudge
it
the
wisest
way
for
the
maintenance
of
her
authoritie
,
to
keepe
still
on
foote
the
oppositions
which
she
found
either
by
diuersitie
of
Religion
or
otherwise
,
and
to
fauour
them
all
in
such
sort
as
still
she
might
be
able
to
curbe
the
stronger
by
supporting
the
feeble
and
weaker
partie
.
Euery
little
gouernour
in
France
that
hath
vnder
his
charge
a
towne
or
prouince
where
men
of
sundry
Religions
liue
,
as
the
Duke
Memorancy
,
the
Duke
Bullion
,
Diguiers
and
the
like
taketh
the
same
course
as
the
Queene
mother
did
,
and
so
keepeth
his
places
or
prouinces
at
his
deuotion
and
in
due
obedience
.
And
at
this
day
in
Fraunce
you
see
no
vndiscreetely
zelous
man
in
great
fauour
with
the
King
or
in

that
by

not

forward
the
insolency
of

(

may
be
repressed

And
thus
the
Countrey
is
kept
in
greater
peace
and
quietnesse
then
hath
beene
seene
in

our
daies
B.
of
Colen
became
a
Lutheran
,
and
desirous
to
bring
the
Countrey
of
his
Electorship
(
and
so
in
time
the
whole
Empire
)
to
Lutheranisme
,
vsed
no
violence
against
his
subiects
that
were
Papistes
,
vntill
Cassimere
gaue
him
contrarie
councell
,
by
which
he
cleane
ouerthrew
himselfe
,
liued
in
banishment
,
died
in
beggerie
,
and
left
the
Countrey
without
all
hope
of
euer
enioying
the
Gospell
againe
.
The
zeale
of
the
Archduke
of
Stiria
was
highly
commended
by
the
Papistes
for
his
religious
minde
,
but
not
for
his
vndiscreete
attempts
in
banishing
them
that
were
of
a
contrary
Religion
out
of
all
his
dominions
except
they
would
become
Papist
like
himselfe
.
and
now
it
is
euident
that
the
moderate
gouernment
of
his
Father
was
much
better
,
who
considering
how
dangerous
a
neighbour
he
had
,
and
the
number
of
those
who
otherwise
would
haue
liued
discontented
in
his
Countrey
,
permitted
them
their
Religion
and
intreated
them
no
worse
then
his
other
subiects
,
whereby
he
ended
his
daies
in
peace
;
whereas
his
Sonne
,
following
a
more
heady
course
of
gouernment
,
was
the
occasion
that
some
of
his
subiects
departed
their
Countrey
and
had
entercourse
with
the
Turke
,
others
stayed
and
dissembled
their
Religion
,
while
Canisia
the
key
and
stay
of
that
countrey
was
deliuered
vp
by
them
to
the
Turke
,
who
the
more
freely
spoiled
all
the
Land
because
the
Archduke
,
hauing
lost
the
harts
of
his
subiects
,
wanted
men
and
meanes
to
resist
him
.
A
worthy
but
lamentable
mirror
for
all
Princes
to
looke
in
,
and
behold
how
perillous
a
thing
it
is
to
vse
violence
against
whatsoeuer
Religion
,
but
especially
for
England
,
that
so
neere
at
hand
hath
such
mightie
Kings
,
who
perhaps
would
be
glad
of
the
like
occasions
.
We
haue
sometimes
supported
their
subiects
against
them
for
zeale
of
Religion
,
and
therefore
we
haue
iust
cause
to
feare
the
like
measure
.
If
Charles
in
Germany
had
not
abated
the
flame
of
ciuill
warres
by
his
conniuence
and
toleration
,
the
French
King
had
made
as
easie
an
entrance
into
other
parts
of
the
Empire
as
he
did
into
those
three
Imperiall
townes
,
Metz
,
Towle
,
and
Verdun
:
but
by
the
losse
of
these
Citties
his
successours
haue
learned
to
take
a
more
milde
course
with
their
subiects
of
whatsoeuer
Religion
,
least
they
should
open
a
more
dangerous
gap
for
the
Turke
the
professed
enemie
of
the
Empire
,
and
all
Christendome
.
The
like
toleration
as
in
the
Empire
is
all
so
permitted
in
the
kingdome
of
Poland
by
reason
of
the
Moscouit
bordering
vpon
them
and
in
Dantzik
(
as
you
know
)
there
is
publique
profession
of
both
Religions
.
In
Zuitzerland
at
the
first
heate
many
a
bloody
battaile
was
fought
for
Religion
,
but
in
time
they
learned
to
ioyne
wisedome
with
zeale
for
conseruation
of
the
state
,
and
now
they
liue
in
peace
with
all
securitie
tolerating
within
their
Cantons
the
one
and
the
other
Religion
.
If
the
King
of
Spaine
had
at
first
permitted
libertie
of
Religion
in
the
lowe
Countries
,
he
had
spared
many
a
million
both
of
men
and
money
,
and
enioyed
with
peace
that
,
which
he
is
neuer
like
to
recouer
.
In
that
glasse
likewise
may
we
see
how
ready
Princes
are
vpon
such
occasions
to
weaken
the
forces
of
other
Princes
their
neighbours
,
whose
puissance
they
feare
or
enuie
their
glory
.
But
now
let
vs
looke
home
,
and
we
shall
see
Ireland
ouergrowen
with
Papistes
,
who
haue
not
dissembled
themselues
as
by
the
late
warres
appeared
but
(
especially
at
the
Queenes
death
when
not
onely
in
the
Countrey
generally
,
but
also
in
the
chiefe
townes
(
where
they
were
most
restrained
)
made
their
publike
processions
after
the
Papisticall
fashion
,
where
the
Right
honourable
the
now
Earle
of
Deuenshire
most
sage
and
wise
in
his
gouernment
,
not
by
force
but
faire
meanes
suppressing
their
feruour
,
conserued
the
Countrey
in
peace
and
obedience
to
his
Maiestie
,
and
we
see
that
the
King
doth
not
dislike
that
course
by
his
singular
fauour
to
Tyrone
and
his
complices
Scotland
for
the
face
of
the
Church
is
generally
of
our
reformed
Religion
:
yet
hath
the
Papist
part
so
great
a
sway
in
the
Countrey
and
so
mightie
a
support
of
the
Nobilitie
,
that
not
many
yeares
since
they
encountred
the
Earle
of
Arguile
in
the
fielde
and
gaue
him
the
ouerthrowe
.
Howbeit
they
fled
before
the
face
of
the
King
when
he
came
in
person
,
leauing
their
houses
and
Countrey
at
his
Maiesties
deuotion
.
England
is
much
more
diuided
into
sects
especially
into
three
,
the
Protestants
only
allowed
by
authoritie
in
the
Realme
,
the
Papists
who
pretend
antiquitie
,
and
thirdly
our selues
who
no
lesse
desire
to
reforme
the
Protestant
abuses
,
then
they
haue
done
the
Papists
.
The
state
of
his
Maiesties
Dominions
standing
thus
then
as
you
see
,
what
wise
man
can
wish
him
to
sturre
much
against
any
?
For
what
man
may
iustly
repine
if
he
but
onely
abstaine
from
violence
?
We
may
very
well
content
our selues
that
our
King
is
of
our
faith
,
and
will
not
suffer
vs
and
our
doctrine
to
be
either
disgrace
or
defaced
.
and
a
temperate
course
with
the
Papistes
may
winne
them
to
be
as
ready
as
others
to
withstande
all
forreine
inuasions
or
home
insurrections
if
either
of
both
vnder
what
pretext
soeuer
should
happen
.
And
in
like
case
as
was
our
Portugall
voyage
,
or
vpon
any
reuolt
of
the
Indians
,
or
tumult
in
Fraunce
,
ten
thousand
Papistes
would
doe
mere
seruice
in
winning
to
them
the
inhabitantes
of
those
parts
(
being
as
they
are
affected
in
Religion
)
then
thrice
tolde
so
many
of
vs
.
Thus
may
you
see
what
wildnesse
will
doe
and
how
lately
Repentance
may
follow
the
greene
and
vnripe
heads
of
Roboams
young
vnaduised
and
violent
councellors
.

I
will
adde
yet
an
example
in
the
Monarchie
of
the
Turke
,
who
(
gouerning
himselfe
only
by
the
light
of
naturall
reason
as
we
may
doe
when
it
is
without
preiudice
to
the
gospell
)
set
doune
as
a
Maxime
in
policie
to
clime
the
better
to
that
greatnes
whereto
he
aspired
,
not
to
force
the
conscience
of
his
subiects
,
nor
euer
to
change
with
violence
the
Religion
in
such
kingdomes
as
he
might
happily
subdue
.
Whereupon
some
haue
more
easily
yeelded
vnto
his
conquest
,
and
others
oppressed
by
theire
owne
Princes
,
and
perturbed
with
ciuill
warres
haue
called
the
Turke
vnto
them
,
and
made
him
Lord
of
the
wholle
land
which
they
would
neuer
haue
donne
,
if
it
had
beene
his
custome
to
force
any
against
his
conscience
in
matters
of
Religion
.
Luther
himselfe
being
pressed
by
the
warres
of
Charles
dealt
earnestly
with
the
Germans
to
call
in
the
Turke
,
hoping
that
vnder
his
guuernement
he
might
more
freely
preach
the
gospell
.
and
for
the
greater
glory
of
their
nation
,
and
theire
Prince
his
aduancement
the
French
doe
best
like
the
same
course
of
toleration
in
Religion
,
and
haue
found
by
practise
that
they
liue
in
peace
with
the
exercise
of
both
religions
allmost
in
all
their
townes
.
not
without
greate
hope
that
in
reuolution
of
tymes
their
King
may
haue
thereby
a
more
easie
accesse
vnto
the
empire
or
to
other
states
as
occasion
falles
.
The
States
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
haue
offered
him
such
an
entry
into
theire
countrey
as
he
should
neuer
haue
obtained
,
if
there
had
beene
the
least
suspicion
of
forcing
their
consciences
,
and
in
vaine
should
he
ayme
at
the
kingdomes
of
Nauarre
,
and
Naples
,
or
the
Dutchy
of
Millaine
,
were
he
an
enemy
to
their
Religion
.
Why
then
might
not
our
King
take
the
like
course
for
occasions
or
pretensions
abroade
,
and
his
safety
at
home
,
it
being
the
readiest
way
to
keepe
all
his
forces
vnited
,
and
all
his
subiects
in
most
dutifull
affection
towardes
him
and
his
royall
issue
.
For
whosoeuer
considereth
the
multitude
of
his
people
and
their
valor
,
how
easily
they
are
leauied
,
how
speedily
imbarked
for
any
shall
finde
that
our
King
may
with
greater
reason
aspire
to
the
election
of
the
Empire
in
case
he
did
affect
it
then
any
other
,
or
some
of
his
noble
issue
be
chosen
Kinges
of
Poland
,
or
be
readie
to
imbrace
any
occasion
offered
for
the
encrease
of
this
Monarchie
.
The
French
King
was
glad
to
see
our
late
Queene
embarked
in
the
warres
of
the
low
Countreies
,
at
what
time
perchaunce
by
reason
of
his
trobles
she
might
haue
recouered
the
Dutchy
of
Normandy
,
and
perhaps
the
better
parte
of
Fraunce
as
she
was
once
resolued
to
haue
donne
by
the
aduise
of
Duke
Cassimer
,
and
she
had
gonne
forwarde
had
it
not
beene
laied
cleerely
before
her
eyes
how
odious
she
had
made
herselfe
vnto
that
nation
by
persecuting
her
subiectes
at
home
with
taxations
and
torture
.
and
to
this
purpose
they
published
in
print
the
seuere
lawes
which
she
had
made
against
the
Masse
and
the
Papists
.
They
that
called
in
the
Spaniard
would
haue
yeelded
more
willingly
to
their
ancient
Dukes
of
Normandy
,
had
they
not
beene
withdrawne
with
feare
of
loosing
the
exercise
of
their
Religion
.
And
if
Fraunce
should
fall
againe
(
as
it
may
)
into
the
like
daunger
vpon
some
new
occasion
,
were
it
not
to
be
wished
that
such
partes
theirof
as
would
seeke
to
be
vnder
the
gouernment
of
a
stranger
,
might
fall
rather
into
our
hands
then
any
other
?
By
this
you
may
perceiue
that
the
Marquis
Rosne
his
conceipt
was
not
to
our
disaduantage
.
For
they
of
the
Religion
in
Fraunce
in
time
of
ciuill
warres
may
giue
vs
an
entry
,
and
the
other
the
rather
for
our
alliance
with
many
of
their
Princes
will
giue
vs
aplancke
to
passe
ouer
for
theire
reliefe
.
I
dwell
not
in
these
examples
as
desirous
of
warre
,
for
I
wish
his
Maiesty
for
his
more
assurance
at
home
to
strengthen
himselfe
abroade
in
ciuill
amity
with
all
,
with
Fraunce
,
with
Spaine
,
yea
with
the
Pope
himselfe
.
for
it
is
no
wisedome
to
make
light
of
any
mans
frendship
.
I
wish
his
Maiestie
likewise
to
entertaine
as
he
doth
all
his
subiests
with
sweete
behauiour
to
cut
of
all
occasions
from
foreine
Princes
to
support
his
subiects
or
disunite
his
Kingdomes
,
which
they
neuer
wisht
to
see
so
vnited
in
one
.
His
Maiesty
therefore
hath
greate
reason
to
cherish
all
indifferently
,
and
to
put
none
out
of
his
English
Arke
,
no
more
then
Noah
did
out
of
his
,
where
as
you
knowe
there
were
beastes
of
all
kindes
.
Ireland
was
a
greate
temptation
to
the
Spainiard
,
and
the
French
take
little
pleasure
at
this
mariadge
with
Scotland
,
whence
they
were
allwayes
wont
to
haue
reliefe
when
our
armies
were
in
Fraunce
.
All
things
are
best
preserued
by
such
meanes
as
they
are
begotten
.
God
hath
made
him
our
king
without
bloodshed
,
and
with
such
peace
he
may
raigne
more
assuredly
then
by
any
force
or
violence
.
The
Turke
as
I
haue
said
got
many
kingdomes
by
tolerating
their
Religions
:
but
when
there
arose
a
newe
secte
in
his
owne
law●
,
passion
and
presumption
made
him
forget
the
Principle
by
which
he
grewe
to
be
so
greate
,
and
so
he
lost
by
one
reuolte
the
halfe
of
his
Empire
(
which
nowe
the
Persian
enioyeth
)
whilest
by
warre
and
force
he
striued
to
gaine
them
.
occasions
and
pretentions
abroad
The
meanes
to
apease
dissentions
are
not
rough
speeches
nor
hard
vsages
,
which
if
in
all
quarells
it
be
true
(
as
Salomon
sayeth
)
then
is
it
much
more
in
matters
of
vnderstanding
as
are
faith
and
Religion
,
wherein
whensoeuer
willfullnes
is
ioyned
,
perswasion
may
perhaps
preuaile
alone
,
but
force
without
reason
force
without
reason
neuer
All
violent
proceedings
engender
grudge
of
hart
in
him
that
is
oppressed
;
and
prouoketh
to
reuenge
,
if
gods
grace
hinder
not
,
and
so
commonly
is
of
small
continuance
because
the
subiect
(
quitting
thereby
the
naturall
affection
due
to
his
Prince
and
countrey
)
seeketh
for
redresse
abroade
,
and
resteth
his
affection
most
commonly
vpon
the
open
and
profest
enimie
of
the
state
.
Queene
Elizabeth
was
highly
blamed
of
all
statesmen
abroade
that
she
being
too
streight
with
her
Papisticall
subiects
at
home
for
the
education
and
bringing
vp
of
their
children
,
gaue
them
thereby
occasion
to
seeke
to
foreine
Princes
,
where
they
might
sucke
from
their
youth
affection
to
her
enimies
.
His
Maiesty
in
my
poore
opinion
may
doe
much
better
to
call
them
home
not
by
threatninge
Proclamations
which
hetherto
we
see
could
neuer
preuaile
,
but
by
permittinge
them
at
home
such
instruction
as
god
shall
inspire
in
their
hartes
according
to
his
eternall
election
,
and
predestination
for
euery
good
guifte
and
faith
especially
is
from
aboue
.
Force
none
to
fly
their
countrey
by
persecution
,
and
fewe
or
none
will
goe
to
be
priested
abroade
Finally
,
in
reason
of
state
,
if
you
will
haue
his
Maiesty
so
streight
laced
that
he
may
not
looke
vpona
Papist
,
nor
abide
a
Masse
within
his
Realme
,
where
shall
you
finde
in
Christendome
a
worthy
match
for
the
Prince
his
sonne
?
No
daughter
of
Fraunce
or
Spaine
will
com
into
England
without
their
chappells
open
after
the
Papistes
fashion
.
Shall
we
let
Flaunders
vpon
this
scrupulous
pointe
befall
to
Fraunce
,
or
shall
not
we
rather
seeke
it
for
our selues
by
the
mariage
of
a
daughter
of
Spaine
?
And
whereas
all
the
Croune
of
Spaine
may
descend
vpon
a
daughter
both
by
their
auncient
lawes
,
and
the
present
probabilitie
,
shall
we
leaue
that
garland
to
others
and
depriue
our selues
by
such
a
nice
poine
nice
points
of
all
possibilitie
to
that
succession
?
I
tell
you
plainely
my
conceipte
,
we
should
doe
his
Maiestie
and
the
realme
herein
greate
wronge
,
and
very
much
hinder
the
propagation
and
course
of
the
gospell
.
Let
vs
therfore
heereafter
vse
a
more
Christian
and
charitable
proceeding
with
them
that
differ
from
vs
in
Religion
if
they
cannot
be
persuaded
by
our
life
and
doctrine
to
be
of
our
felloweshipe
and
communion
,
let
them
remaine
a
gods
name
(
as
they
are
)
Recusants
.
for
to
compell
them
by
penall
lawes
to
our
churches
or
to
receiue
the
supper
of
the
Lord
cannot
be
called
by
any
pretext
an
Apostolicall
reformation
,
for
if
our
treasure
be
pearles
indeede
,
why
shall
we
cast
them
before
swine
and
dispense
them
to
men
vnworthie
?
Paule
saieth
that
in
such
things
we
must
shune
them
and
not
admit
them
so
long
as
they
remaine
faithles
.
for
as
god
and
Beliall
haue
no
participation
,
so
the
faithfull
and
vnfaithfull
may
not
haue
parte
together
nor
eate
of
the
altare
of
god
and
altare
of
Idolles
.
Let
vs
rather
practise
the
meanes
which
we
finde
in
the
world
to
reclaime
such
as
erre
,
and
in
the
meane
time
liue
in
morall
amitie
one
with
an
other
,
for
the
good
and
security
of
our
king
and
countrey
and
the
aduancement
of
his
posteritie
,
and
abstaine
from
all
force
for
pressing
of
mens
consciences
.
And
so
to
conclude
,
since
this
manner
of
proceeding
by
violence
hath
often
donne
much
harme
and
neuer
good
(
as
by
sundry
examples
both
at
home
and
abroade
is
euident
)
it
is
good
we
be
not
singuler
but
conforme
our
appetites
and
opinions
to
the
example
of
our
sauiour
,
the
inclynation
of
our
soueraigne
,
the
wisedome
of
his
most
honorable
Councell
,
and

.
And
thus
much
for
the
defence
of
my
opinion
and
(
as
I
hope
,
at

wise
wish
)

Sale-money
for
conscience
contrary

,
Ha
ha
,
what
els
!
I
should
gainsay
this
Constitution
;
That
you
loose
not
the
things
,
which
you
call
yours
;
and
you
without
feare
spoile
Christ
of
his
.
That
the
Roman
Lawes
should
permit
you
to
make
your
last
willes
;
and
you
with
cauilling
reuerse
that
which
God
bequeathed
our
fathers
.
That
in
buying
and
selling
your
contracts
might
be
good
;
and
you
share
that
among
you
which
Christ
bought
when
he
was
sold
.
That
you
might
freely
giue
what
you
list
;
and
what
the
of
Gods
hath
bestowed
on
his
owne
Children
from
East
to
West
should
be
void
.
That
you
should
not
be
banished
from
the
place
where
your
bodies
rest
;
and
you
driue
Christ
from
the
kingdome
purchased
with
his
bloud

This
punishment
of
Death
is
to
be
inflicted
vpon
all
obstinate
,
wilfull
,
and
relapsed
Seducers
or
Heretiques
:
Vpon
such
as
maintaine
their
pernicious
opinions
,
either
of
meere
perfidiousnesse
,
enuie
and
malice
,
for
the
repulse
of
some
dignitie
or
Bishopricke
,
as
Nicephorus
speaketh
of
after
he
relapsed
to
Montanisme
,
of

Or
of
confidence
that
they
haue
in
their
owne
wit
,
learning
and
eloquence
,
as

Or
of
ambition
and
affectation
of
primacie
,
as
These
men
,
that
are
thus
instructed
with
courage
,
boldnesse
,
hypocrisie
,
learning
,
eloquence
,
do
not
onely
destroy
themselues
,
and
runne
headlong
into
perdition
;
but
also
,
as
a
swift
torrent
or
streame
,
they
draw
others
with
them
into
the
same
pit
.
Wherefore
the
Magistrate
ought
by
death
seuerely
to
punish
their
furie
,
seeing
such
dangerous
monsters
can
not
be
permitted
to
liue
,
without
manifest
and
pernicious
perturbation
of
ciuill
Societie
.
Amen , Praise , and Glorie , and Wisedome , and Thankes , and Honour , and Power , and Might , be vnto OVR GOD for euermore . Amen .
