A

suruey
of
Ireland
.
CHAP.
I.
A
description
of
the
Countrey
,
with
the
maners
,
customes
and
dispositions
of
the
people
.
IT
could
not
be
impertinent
in
this
my
suruey
of
Ireland
to
make
my
first
entry
with
the
discription
of
the
countrey
,
the
fertilitie
of
the
soile
,
the
nature
,
disposition
and
maners
of
the
people
.
All
which
if
I
should
expresse
according
to
a
trueth
,
I
might
write
a
more
admirable
history
,
and
speake
of
greater
wonders
,
then
either
sir
Iohn
Mandiuyll
in
his
trauell
,
or
any
other
that
haue
passed
the
most
vncouth
places
of
the
world
are
able
truely
to
report
.
And
here
is
the
matter
especially
to
bee
admired
,
that
a
countrey
scituate
and
seated
vnder
so
temperate
a
Climate
,
that
is
neither
oppressed
with
extremitie
,
either
of
cold
in
the
winter
,
or
with
heate
in
the
summer
,
that
is
inuironed
with
England
,
Scotland
,
France
and
Spaine
,
that
hath
had
continuall
entercourse
,
trade
and
trafficke
,
and
hath
beene
daily
conuersant
with
the
people
of
these
nations
,
and
the
country
should
yet
remaine
as
it
doth
▪
more
vnciuill
,
more
vncleanly
,
more
barbarous
,
and
more
brutish
in
their
customes
and
demeanures
▪
then
in
any
other
part
of
the
world
that
is
knowne
.
If
I
should
speake
what
affiance
they
haue
of
Saint
Patricks
purgatorte
,
of
the
Holy
Crosse
,
and
of
many
other
places
of
pilgrimage
frequented
by
Irish
,
I
might
deliuer
ridiculous
matter
,
not
onely
of
the
blinde
zeale
,
and
sometimes
of
the
vnciuill
demeanure
of
the
pilgrimes
them selues
,
but
also
how
they
are
cheated
,
cousined
,
and
deceiued
by
their
ghostly
fathers
,
that
for
their
owne
lucre
and
gaine
,
doth
delude
themwith
voices
,
with
visions
,
and
with
strange
deuises
,
more
fitter
to
be
laughed
at
,
then
to
be
beleiued
.
It
were
strange
to
deliuer
the
maners
which
they
vse
in
the
buriall
of
their
dead
:
and
he
that
were
at
Dublyne
it selfe
,
and
should
see
a
dead
corps
brought
to
the
graue
,
would
say
,
that
there
could
not
bee
a
more
heathenish
demeanure
,
no
,
not
amongst
a
people
that
had
neither
knowne
nor
heard
of
God
.
For
the
blessing
which
it
hath
pleased
GOD
to
vouchsafe
to
that
countrey
,
in
purging
it
from
all
sorts
of
wormes
that
are
venimous
or
poisonable
:
this
benofite
onely
they
ascribe
to
saint
Patricke
,
and
will
in
no
wise
acknowledge
it
to
be
the
blessing
of
God
.
I
might
speake
here
of
their
Irish
customes
,
strange
to
be
deliuered
,
and
of
their
Brehon
lawe
,
&
their
lawes
Tamestry
,
and
of
their
Lord
&
Captaine
called
Tamest
,
chosen
for
diuerse
considerations
:
and
how
amongst
them
euery
great
mans
will
&
commandement
is
a
lawe
(
especially
amongst
their
owne
tenants
:
)
for
Ireland
hath
euermore
striued
to
runne
into
all
lawlesse
and
irregular
courses
,
whereby
they
are
growne
into
such
a
habite
of
sauage
tyranny
,
that
nothing
is
more
pleasing
to
the
greatest
number
of
them
,
then
ciuill
warres
,
murthers
and
massacres
,
whereunto
as
they
are
commonly
inclined
,
so
there
wants
not
those
amongst
them
to
pricke
them
forward
,
and
to
stirre
them
vp
to
Treason
and
rebellion
against
their
Prince
,
that
are
still
conspiring
,
still
practising
,
and
still
indeuouring
to
draw
them
into
that
mortall
plague
of
rebellion
,
which
is
not
to
be
cured
but
by
the
sword
,
by
common
slaughters
and
spilling
of
blood
.
And
although
the
greatest
part
of
the
people
of
that
kingdome
hath
been
from
time
to
time
thus
drawne
and
stirred
vp
by
these
seducing
spirits
:
yet
for
a
number
of
others
of
that
Country-birth
,
to
whom
it
hath
pleased
God
to
vouchsafe
the
grace
of
his
holy
spirit
,
that
I
know
are
daily
laboured
and
importuned
by
this
viperous
broode
,
aswell
to
shake
off
the
loue
to
their
God
,
as
their
dutie
to
their
Prince
,
for
their
sakes
it
is
that
I
haue
endeuoured
these
lines
,
to
giue
them
a
Caueat
to
beware
of
these
fire-brands
of
Rebellion
,
the
which
because
I
haue
deciphered
in
their
proper
colours
,
I
will
referre
them
to
this
sequell
,
as
it
hereafter
followeth
.
CHAP.
II.
The
Diuersitie
in
opinions
what
Antichrist
should
be
.
THere
is
no
man
(
I
thinke
)
if
he
haue
but
very
slenderly
indeuoured
himselfe
in
the
reading
of
the
holy
scriptures
,
but
he
hath
found
it
testified
both
in
the
old
and
new
testaments
,
that
towards
the
latter
daies
and
end
of
the
world
,
Antichrist
should
come
,
who
with
false
doctrine
and
lying
mitacles
should
seduce
the
kingdomes
and
nations
of
the
earth
.
What
,
or
who
this
Antichrist
should
be
,
there
are
diuerse
suppositions
,
and
as
many
fabulous
coniectures
haue
beene
deuised
of
the
person
of
Antichrist
,
which
doe
rather
seduce
,
then
giue
any
certaine
testimonie
whereby
we
may
know
him
.
Some
doe
say
that
he
should
be
a
Iewe
,
of
the
tribe
of
Dan
,
and
some
would
haue
it
that
hee
should
bee
borne
in
Babylon
,
some
that
he
should
bee
bred
vp
in
Bethsaida
and
Corazin
,
some
that
he
should
bee
raised
in
Syria
,
some
that
he
should
be
conceiued
of
the
mixture
of
man
and
woman
in
sinne
,
because
Christ
was
borne
of
a
woman
and
conceiued
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
some
say
that
he
shall
be
of
an
ill-fauoured
personage
,
because
it
is
written
of
Christ
,
comely
and
beautifull
is
he
beyond
the
sonnes
of
men
:
some
say
that
he
shall
preach
some
certaine
yeeres
where
Christ
preached
,
and
that
he
shall
circumcise
him selfe
,
&
say
that
he
is
Christ
,
and
the
Messias
that
was
promised
to
bee
sent
for
the
saluation
of
the
Iewes
,
some
would
perswade
that
Mahomet
was
Antichrist
,
some
hold
the
like
of
Nero
,
some
say
that
he
should
build
vp
the
Citie
of
Hierusalem
,
some
that
he
should
ouerthrow
Rome
,
some
doe
say
that
hee
should
bee
borne
of
a
Frire
and
a
Nunne
,
and
that
he
should
worke
wonders
,
&
make
trees
to
grow
with
the
rootes
vpward
,
and
then
should
fly
vp
into
heauen
and
fall
downe
and
breake
his
necke
:
and
there
bee
other
some
haue
said
,
that
he
shall
fight
with
the
two
witnesses
of
Christ
,
Enoch
and
Hely
,
and
shall
kill
them
,
and
he
himselfe
shall
finally
be
slaine
with
lightning
.
These
tales
and
many
others
haue
beene
craftely
deuised
whereby
to
beguile
vs
,
that
whilst
we
are
thinking
of
these
imaginations
,
and
so
occupy
our
eies
in
beholding
a
shadowe
or
a
surmised
coniecture
what
Antichrist
should
be
,
he
that
is
Antichrist
(
indeede
)
may
vnawares
deceiue
vs
.
CHAP.
III.
What
it
was
that
deceiued
the
Iewes
in
the
expectation
of
Christ
.
THis
was
it
that
deceiued
the
Iewes
in
the
knowledge
of
our
sauiour
Christ
:
for
when
man
had
by
his
owne
sinne
drawne
Gods
wrath
,
&
the
decay
of
the
whole
world
vpon
his
owne
head
,
the
almighty
yet
,
of
his
wonderfull
mercie
and
goodnesse
,
promised
vnto
Adam
that
Christ
should
come
&
breake
the
serpents
head
.
This
promise
was
deliuered
ouer
from
hand
to
hand
,
and
still
conueyed
from
the
father
to
the
sonne
,
solemnely
declared
to
Abraham
Isaach
&
Iacob
,
committed
as
a
pawne
by
Moses
to
the
people
of
Israell
,
celebrated
by
Dauid
in
his
psalmes
and
songs
,
renued
and
continued
from
time
to
time
by
many
excellent
and
worthy
Prophets
,
which
pointed
out
the
time
,
the
place
,
and
the
maner
of
his
comming
,
&
set
downe
plainly
and
expresly
his
stock
,
his
parents
and
his
birth
many
hundred
yeares
aforehand
,
the
scriptures
are
full
and
the
Prophets
doe
make
often
mention
of
this
promise
:
old
men
and
young
men
and
all
the
people
waited
for
the
fulfilling
thereof
,
euery
eie
was
bent
vpon
him
,
and
euery
heart
attended
and
wished
for
his
comming
:
but
when
the
fulnes
of
the
time
was
expired
,
&
that
he
was
come
into
the
world
indeede
,
they
to
whom
this
promise
was
made
,
euen
those
that
had
so
longed
and
wished
for
him
,
and
made
all
their
common
talke
of
the
hope
of
his
comming
,
when
he
came
they
knew
He
came
into
the
world
,
and
the
world
knew
him
not
,
he
came
into
his
owne
,
and
his
owne
receiued
him
not
:
Light
came
into
the
world
and
men
loued
darkenesse
better
then
light
:
they
reuiled
him
and
said
,
Behold
a
glutton
and
a
drinker
of
wine
,
a
friend
vnto
publicanes
and
sinners
:
they
called
him
a
false
Prophet
and
a
seducer
of
the
people
,
they
persecuted
him
,
betrayed
him
,
scourged
him
and
crucified
him
.
Such
was
the
receiuing
of
Christ
:
but
this
they
did
to
him
through
ignorance
,
for
if
they
had
knowne
him
,
they
would
not
haue
killed
the
Lords
annointed
,
nor
haue
laid
violent
hands
on
the
onely
sonne
of
GOD
.
But
what
was
now
the
mistaking
?
verily
nothing
but
this
,
they
looked
for
him
after
a
carnall
maner
,
and
not
according
as
the
Scriptures
had
testified
of
him
,
for
they
could
not
imagine
any
likelyhoode
that
Christ
(
by
whom
they
thought
all
Israell
should
haue
beene
so
renowned
)
should
be
so
base
and
abiect
a
person
in
the
sight
of
the
world
,
but
they
looked
that
their
Messias
should
haue
come
in
triumph
,
to
haue
contented
their
ambition
and
pride
:
but
hee
was
promised
to
come
in
humilitie
,
and
to
humble
him selfe
euen
vnto
death
:
they
looked
to
haue
had
him
prince-like
,
but
hee
was
fore-promised
poore
:
they
looked
for
a
great
Captaine
that
should
haue
performed
the
conquests
of
Alexander
,
when
it
was
told
them
that
he
should
be
both
beaten
and
wounded
:
they
looked
for
one
that
should
haue
come
with
feasting
and
banquetting
,
when
it
was
told
them
aforehand
that
his
bread
should
be
steeped
in
vinegre
,
and
his
cup
should
be
mingled
with
gall
and
bitternesse
.
Here
was
now
the
mistaking
,
this
was
the
stumbling
blocke
▪
and
from
hence
grew
the
errour
,
that
in
stead
of
beleeuing
they
fell
to
crucifying
the
Lord
and
sauiour
of
the
world
.
CHAP.
IIII.
What
it
is
that
hath
deceiued
vs
in
the
looking
after
Antichrist
.
NOw
as
the
comming
of
Christ
was
,
such
shall
be
the
comming
of
Antichrist
:
the
Prophets
of
the
old
lawe
prophesied
that
Antichrist
should
come
:
the
Apostles
,
Peter
,
Paul
,
Iohn
,
yea
Christ
himselfe
foretold
vs
of
him
,
the
auncient
fathers
and
Doctors
do
often
make
mention
of
him
,
there
is
no
man
sosimpleeither
old
or
yong
,
either
learned
or
vnlearned
,
but
he
hath
heard
of
Antichrist
,
they
know
that
he
shall
be
a
false
Prophet
,
a
seducer
,
an
enemy
to
Christ
,
and
such
a
one
as
shall
set
himselfe
directly
both
against
Christ
and
his
doctrine
,
they
shall
therefore
hate
his
name
,
and
detest
him
before
they
know
him
,
they
shall
looke
after
his
comming
,
&
he
shall
not
faile
to
come
,
and
euery
man
shall
cary
hatred
against
him
,
and
reckon
him
abominable
:
but
as
the
Iewes
that
longed
so
much
for
the
comming
of
Christ
,
yet
when
he
was
come
they
knew
him
not
,
but
accounted
him
amongst
theeues
and
robbers
,
because
they
did
not
looke
for
him
accordingly
as
the
Scriptures
had
prophesied
,
but
according
to
their
owne
imaginations
as
they
had
grosly
conceiued
:
euen
so
shall
bee
the
comming
of
Antichrist
:
for
he
shall
couer
himselfe
with
such
a
cloake
of
holinesse
,
That
if
it
were
possible
the
very
elect
should
bee
deceiued
:
for
men
shall
not
know
him
,
their
eies
shall
be
blinded
,
they
shall
hate
his
name
,
but
imbrace
his
doctrine
,
they
shall
thinke
they
doe
good
seruice
vnto
Christ
,
but
shall
in
trueth
doe
seruice
vnto
Antichrist
.
From
whence
shall
this
errour
spring
from
that
very
occasion
that
deceiued
the
Ie●es
in
the
looking
after
Christ
,
they
looke
for
him
still
,
but
hee
is
come
many
hundred
yeares
agoe
and
they
are
not
aware
of
it
:
wee
also
haue
looked
for
Antichrist
,
and
he
hath
almost
raigned
as
long
,
and
we
are
not
aware
of
it
,
and
that
because
either
of
vs
haue
looked
carnal●y
for
him
,
and
not
in
those
places
where
we
ought
to
haue
sought
him
:
the
●ewes
had
found
Christ
v●●ily
and
truely
,
if
they
had
sought
for
him
in
the
scriptures
,
according
to
the
law
and
the
Prophets
.
Wee
also
had
spyed
out
Antichrist
long
agoe
,
if
wee
had
looked
in
the
doctrine
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
:
for
this
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
Antichrist
is
not
one
man
onely
that
shall
sodainly
appeare
with
strange
signes
and
wonders
as
our
ancestors
haue
talked
and
dreamed
of
:
but
a
relation
to
one
State
&
kingdome
,
and
a
continuance
of
some
one
power
and
tyranie
in
the
Church
for
so
Christ
him selfe
hath
prophesied
,
not
speaking
of
one
man
singulerly
,
but
saith
,
Many
shall
come
in
my
name
,
and
shall
say
,
here
is
Christ
,
&
there
is
Christ
,
and
shall
deceiue
many
.
CHAP.
IV.
Where
Antichrist
is
to
be
sought
for
,
and
how
to
be
knowen
.
WEe
are
now
likewise
to
thinke
that
Antichrist
shall
not
apparantly
manifest
him selfe
to
be
a
tyrant
,
a
robber
,
a
spoyler
:
hee
shall
not
say
I
am
Antichrist
,
I
am
that
man
of
sinne
,
I
am
that
childe
of
pe●dition
,
I
am
that
aduer●asie
▪
and
am
contra●ie
to
Christ
:
nay
he
shall
not
lay
him selfe
so
wide
open
,
for
then
who
would
be
deceiued
by
him
?
and
he
shall
deceiue
●any
.
And
in
like
maner
if
hee
should
expresl●
say
that
him selfe
were
Christ
,
what
christian
could
he
then
seduce
?
so
that
he
must
neither
shew
himselfe
to
be
an
open
enemie
to
Christ
,
as
was
Mahomet
,
and
as
the
Turke
is
,
neither
must
he
take
vpon
him
to
bee
Christ
,
for
then
euery
man
would
be
warie
enough
of
him
.
It
should
follow
then
that
Antichrist
must
come
disguised
,
he
must
put
on
him
the
cloake
of
simplicitie
,
of
trueth
,
of
holinesse
,
perhaps
of
prayer
,
perhaps
of
fasting
,
perhaps
of
giuing
almes
,
he
shall
come
with
fatherly
lookes
,
with
holy
countenance
,
he
shall
alledge
the
Doctors
and
Fathers
,
he
shall
alledge
Peter
&
Paul
the
holy
Apostles
of
Christ
,
he
shall
alledge
Christ
and
God
himselfe
.
Thus
vnder
a
pretence
of
seruing
Christ
,
hee
shall
performe
all
his
practises
against
Christ
,
hee
shall
de●oure
the
sheepe
and
people
of
Christ
,
he
shall
deface
what
Christ
hath
built
,
and
shall
roo●e
vp
that
which
Christ
hath
planted
,
he
shall
be
contrary
to
Christ
in
faith
,
contrary
in
life
,
contrary
in
doctrine
,
contrary
in
sacraments
,
and
in
effect
contrary
in
all
things
.
Thus
shall
he
walke
craftely
,
and
handle
the
word
of
God
deceiptfully
,
hee
shall
mingle
his
lies
with
the
trueth
of
God
,
he
shall
mix
his
poison
with
the
wholesome
foode
of
our
soules
,
so
closely
and
subtilly
,
that
it
shall
hardly
be
espied
:
he
shall
conuey
him selfe
into
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
and
shall
so
settle
him selfe
in
their
consciences
,
that
they
shall
admire
him
and
haue
him
in
reuerence
.
They
shall
say
,
who
is
like
vnto
the
beast
,
who
so
wise
,
so
learned
,
so
vertuous
,
so
holy
,
or
so
like
vnto
God
himselfe
?
Thus
shall
they
honour
Antichrist
vnawares
,
when
they
shall
say
we
de●ie
him
,
and
yet
they
shall
fall
downe
and
worship
him
.
And
as
it
was
with
Christ
at
his
comming
,
he
was
in
the
world
,
he
did
the
workes
of
his
father
,
yet
the
fewest
part
knew
him
:
euen
so
must
it
be
with
Antichrist
,
he
shall
be
in
the
world
,
he
shall
doe
the
workes
of
his
iniquitie
,
and
yet
fewe
shall
know
him
.
But
let
vs
now
more
particularly
fall
to
examination
who
this
Antichrist
should
be
:
we
haue
already
said
he
must
not
be
an
infidel
or
heathen
,
one
that
shall
apparantly
set
himselfe
against
Christ
,
but
he
shall
come
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
perhaps
shall
preach
Christ
counterfeitly
,
for
the
scriptures
haue
so
prophesied
of
him
,
and
as
S.
Hillary
saith
,
He
shall
be
contrary
to
Christ
vnder
the
colour
of
preaching
the
Gospell
,
so
that
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
shall
then
bee
denyed
,
when
a
man
would
think
he
were
preached
,
so
couertly
,
so
closely
,
and
so
subtilly
shall
Antichrist
behaue
himselfe
in
the
sight
of
the
world
.
Was
there
euer
man
then
that
came
in
the
name
of
Christ
with
the
shew
of
holinesse
,
with
the
countenance
of
the
church
,
and
hath
shewed
himselfe
in
all
his
life
and
doctrine
contrarie
to
Christ
?
if
there
haue
euer
beene
any
such
,
without
doubt
the
same
is
Antichrist
.
CHAP.
VI.
An
antithesis
betweene
Christ
and
the
Pope
.
LEt
vs
here
call
the
Pope
a
little
into
question
,
let
vs
examine
his
proceedings
,
comparing
his
doings
with
our
vndoubted
sauiour
Christ
,
&
we
shall
finde
him
so
directly
contrary
in
sacraments
,
in
sacrifice
,
in
prayers
,
in
life
,
in
religion
,
in
doctrine
,
in
the
whole
forme
and
order
of
the
church
,
how
hee
hath
shutwhat
Christ
hath
opened
,
and
hath
opened
what
Christ
hath
shut
,
he
hath
cursed
where
Christ
hath
blessed
,
and
hath
blessed
where
Christ
hath
cursed
:
finding
him
then
to
be
so
repugnant
,
and
to
set
himselfe
so
directly
opposite
,
it
must
needes
follow
,
that
if
Christ
be
Christ
,
the
Pope
must
needes
be
Antichrist
.
But
let
vs
come
to
some
particulars
to
see
what
light
they
will
giue
vs
concerning
the
premises
.
Christ
came
into
the
world
to
seeke
the
glorie
of
his
Father
,
the
Pope
is
come
into
the
world
,
and
onely
exalteth
himselfe
.
Christ
spared
not
his
owne
life
,
that
we
might
raigne
in
an
other
world
,
the
Pope
spareth
not
our
lines
,
that
he
may
raigne
in
this
world
.
Christ
fulfilled
the
lawe
and
the
Prophets
,
the
Pope
maintaineth
his
owne
lawes
and
traditions
.
Christ
forsooke
the
kingdomes
of
the
world
that
were
offered
him
by
the
diuell
,
the
Pope
hath
receiued
them
,
and
thinketh
them
all
too
little
.
Christ
would
neither
be
Iudge
nor
deuider
in
the
world
,
the
Pope
iudgeth
and
deuideth
all
the
world
.
Christ
was
obedient
to
the
temporall
maiestrates
,
the
Pope
holdeth
Emperours
and
Kings
in
subiection
.
Christ
would
wash
the
feete
of
his
owne
disciples
,
the
Pope
giueth
his
feete
to
Emperours
and
Kings
to
be
kissed
.
Christ
had
a
crowne
o●
thornes
thrust
vpon
his
head
,
the
Pope
hath
three
crownes
wrought
with
precious
stones
●et
vpon
his
head
.
Christ
carried
his
owne
crosse
of
affliction
,
in
token
of
his
hu●ilitie
,
the
Pope
carrieth
his
crosse
of
〈◊〉
and
gold
in
token
of
his
paid
.
Christ
saith
,
Peter
put
vp
thy
sword
,
for
he
that
striketh
with
the
sword
,
shall
perish
with
the
s●ord
,
the
Pope
saith
,
Kings
and
Princes
dra●
your
swords
,
and
●ut
them
downe
before
ye
that
will
not
obey
me
.
Christ
and
his
disciples
ouercome
by
suffering
,
the
Pope
and
his
d●sciples
doe
ouercome
by
persecuting
.
Christ
humbleth
his
dis●iples
,
and
bringeth
them
low
,
the
Pope
exalteth
hi●
disciples
and
lifteth
them
vp
on
high
.
Christ
saith
blessed
bee
the
peace-makers
,
the
Pop●
saith
blessed
are
they
that
can
s●t
the
world
together
by
the
●ares
.
Christ
saith
blessed
be
the
poore
in
spirit
,
for
to
them
belongeth
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
the
Pope
saith
,
blessed
are
the
proud
and
high
minded
,
that
will
resist
and
rebell
against
their
Prince
.
Christ
saith
it
is
as
easie
for
a
Cammell
to
passe
thorough
the
eie
of
a
needle
,
as
for
a
rich
man
to
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
the
Pope
saith
,
heauen
gates
shall
stand
wide
open
to
him
that
hath
money
to
purchase
Masses
,
Trentales
,
Dyrges
,
and
to
buy
pardons
.
Christ
whipped
the
buyers
and
sellers
out
of
the
Temple
,
the
Pope
maintaineth
such
as
make
daily
port-sale
of
Masses
and
Dyrges
in
the
Temple
.
Christ
sendeth
his
about
the
world
to
preach
glad
tydings
,
the
Pope
sendeth
his
about
the
world
to
●ell
pardons
.
Christ
when
hee
forgiueth
,
hee
remitteth
freely
of
grace
,
the
Pope
●emitteth
nor
forgiueth
any
thing
withou●
money
.
Christ
faith
,
come
vnto
me
thou
that
art
laden
,
and
I
will
ease
thee
,
the
Pope
saith
,
come
vnto
me
thou
that
hast
murthered
thy
father
,
and
I
wil
giue
thee
a
pardon
,
if
thou
wilt
giue
me
money
.
Christ
commandeth
marriage
,
and
onely
forbiddeth
whoredome
,
the
Pope
admitteth
whoredome
,
and
only
forbiddeth
marriage
.
Christ
faith
,
that
a
righteous
man
maketh
righteous
workes
,
the
Pope
saith
,
that
righteous
workes
do
make
a
righteous
man
.
Christ
sendeth
the
Scribes
and
pharises
to
search
the
Scriptures
,
the
Pope
forbiddeth
that
christian
menne
should
so
much
as
looke
on
them
.
Christ
hath
giuen
his
the
light
of
the
Gospell
wherby
to
guide
their
steps
,
euen
at
midnight
,
the
Pope
hath
giuen
his
a
candle
to
light
them
with
,
because
they
are
still
groping
in
the
darke
,
euen
at
midday
.
To
be
short
,
Christ
being
God
,
became
man
,
for
the
saluation
of
the
world
,
the
Pope
being
man
becommeth
God
to
the
destruction
of
the
world
.
Infinite
might
I
be
in
this
comparison
,
if
I
should
prosecute
it
according
to
a
trueth
:
and
Christ
saith
,
we
shall
know
them
by
their
fruits
.
Iudge
of
them
now
but
as
they
deserue
,
if
Antichrist
is
to
be
vnderstood
one
against
Christ
,
tell
me
where
shall
we
finde
him
that
is
more
contrary
then
the
Pope
?
Furthermore
,
and
for
the
better
confirmation
of
this
matter
,
I
might
here
set
downe
many
probable
authorities
,
manifestly
expressing
the
seare
of
Antichrist
to
be
at
Rome
,
yea
and
further
testified
by
seuerall
antient
writers
,
that
he
should
be
aduanced
in
the
Apostolike
sea
:
but
left
it
might
bee
thought
that
all
such
authorities
might
rather
be
tearmed
partiall
opinions
(
as
the
Papist
careth
not
what
he
saith
)
we
will
therefore
pretermit
all
priua●e
obiections
,
and
will
onely
make
search
in
the
holy
scriptures
,
and
see
what
testimonies
are
there
left
vnto
vs
,
for
those
are
the
markes
that
cannot
deceiue
.
CHAP.
VII
.
The
first
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
,
taken
out
of
S.
Iohn
.
1.
Epist.
2.
SAint
Iohn
in
his
first
▪
Epistle
and
second
chapter
,
giueth
vs
this
Item
,
Who
is
a
lyer
but
he
that
denyeth
that
I●sus
is
Christ
?
that
same
is
Antichrist
,
that
denyeth
the
Father
and
the
sonne
.
Let
vs
now
examine
these
words
,
&
see
if
we
cannot
fashion
out
Antichrist
by
the
substance
of
the
Pope
,
or
frame
a
Pope
by
the
shadow
of
Antichrist
.
Antichrist
and
Christ
are
two
contraries
,
and
the
studie
of
Antichrist
is
,
to
quench
the
name
of
●esus
Christ
:
why
then
Antichrist
:
for
he
doth
both
professe
and
preach
Christ
,
yea
and
would
be
Christs
high
Vicare
here
on
earth
,
but
it
is
said
before
that
Antichrist
must
so
doe
,
he
shall
turne
himselfe
into
an
angel●
of
light
,
and
must
come
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
otherwise
he
could
not
deceiue
.
But
he
shall
deceiue
many
,
and
the
Pope
abusing
the
name
of
Christ
,
by
that
meanes
setteth
vp
himselfe
,
and
gathereth
offerings
,
tythes
and
rents
,
and
bestoweth
them
to
his
own
profit
,
and
not
the
honour
of
Christ
,
but
bringeth
the
consciences
of
the
people
vnder
him
through
suspitious
feare
▪
●s
though
he
had
such
authoritie
giuen
〈◊〉
of
Christ
:
and
euery
sillable
that
hath
but
a
sound
as
though
it
made
for
his
purpose
,
that
he
expoundeth
falsely
,
and
therewith
he
so
●●gleth
and
bewitch●●h
the
eares
of
the
people
(
but
especially
of
that
simple
&
ignorant
sort
,
that
haue
yeelded
themselues
to
become
slaues
to
his
suggestions
)
those
(
I
say
)
he
make●h
them
beleeue
what
himselfe
lif●eth
,
for
it
is
●nough
for
them
to
beleeue
what
the
church
beleeueth
,
although
they
know
not
what
the
Church
beleeueth
,
nor
the
greatest
part
of
them
,
what
the
tr●e
catholike
church
meaneth
.
He
that
beleeueth
not
to
be
saued
through
Christ
,
the
same
denyeth
christ
,
but
the
Pope
beleeueth
not
to
be
saued
through
christ
,
for
he
teacheth
to
beleeue
in
holy
workes
for
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
the●eby
to
a●●aine
saluation
,
as
in
the
workes
of
penance
inioyned
in
vowes
,
in
chastitie
,
in
pilgrimages
,
in
other
mens
praiers
,
in
Friers
and
Friers
c●●es
,
in
Saints
merits
,
in
the
deeds
of
ceremonies
,
and
a
thousand
other
such
superstitious
follies
●etteth
he
before
vs
to
beleeue
in
,
and
all
of
them
destroying
christ
,
and
most
iniurious
to
his
precious
blood
.
He
that
denyeth
Iesus
Christ
(
●ai●h
the
Apostle
)
the
same
is
Ant●christ
,
can
any
man
deny
him
more
directly
then
he
that
seeketh
his
saluation
in
his
owne
merits
,
&
his
owne
deseruings
?
The
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
cleanseth
vs
from
all
sinne
:
i●
the
blood
of
●e●us
christ
cleanseth
vs
,
why
then
out
owne
workes
doe
not
cleanse
vs
,
for
they
are
not
christ
.
But
let
our
good
workes
bee
examined
after
the
iudgements
of
God
,
and
wee
ought
rather
to
feare
punishment
for
the
faults
that
be
euen
in
our
best
deseruing
,
then
to
looke
for
any
reward
.
The
Prophet
doth
liken
our
righteousnes
to
a
filthy
clout
,
such
as
would
abhorre
any
mans
eies
to
behold
it
;
and
therefore
saith
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Enter
not
into
iudgement
with
thy
seruant
,
O
Lord
,
for
no
flesh
is
righteous
in
thy
sight
:
what
maner
of
merit
may
this
be
then
,
which
cannot
abide
the
censure
of
Gods
iudgement
,
nor
be
deliuered
from
condemnation
but
by
mercie
onely
?
CHAP.
VIII
.
The
good
workes
prescribed
to
the
Pope
.
BVt
let
vs
see
what
good
workes
these
same
should
be
which
the
Pope
hath
prescribed
,
&
the
papists
doe
so
much
talke
of
.
First
they
teach
vnto
the
ignorant
,
to
heare
Masses
euery
day
deuoutly
,
to
prostrate
themselues
before
dead
Images
,
to
mumble
vp
a
number
of
prayers
vnto
Saints
,
to
go
on
pilgrimage
,
to
build
vp
Chaunteris
,
to
cause
Trentales
of
Masses
and
Dirges
to
be
said
for
the
dead
,
to
giue
large
summes
to
idle
Priests
,
Monkes
and
Friers
,
to
giue
gold
and
siluer
to
make
crosses
,
chalyces
,
cuppes
and
restiments
,
to
say
ouer
Ladies
Psalter
,
to
pray
vppon
B●ades
,
to
receiue
Holy
bread
,
holy
water
,
holy
palme
,
holy
ashes
,
holy
fire
,
holy
creame
,
holy
candle
,
holy
oyle
,
with
a
number
of
other
holy
toyes
,
and
those
are
the
good
works
allowed
and
commanded
by
the
Pope
:
&
these
are
expresly
iniurious
to
the
precious
blood
of
Christ
,
and
therefore
the
workes
of
si●ne
,
and
the
very
ins●itutions
of
Antichrist
.
By
the
workes
of
the
lawe
shall
no
flesh
be
iustified
in
his
sight
,
whosoeuer
shall
keepe
the
Lawe
,
yet
faile
in
one
point
,
is
guilty
of
all
.
And
who
is
,
or
euer
was
able
to
keepe
the
law
?
(
christ
onely
excepted
)
but
are
all
vnperfect
,
and
the
most
righteous
man
sinneth
seuen
times
a
day
.
But
to
cleanse
those
sinnes
,
the
Pope
hath
deuised
a
purgatory
,
still
excluding
christ
,
making
him
of
lesse
authoritie
then
he
doth
attribute
to
himselfe
,
for
he
will
in
no
wise
but
that
christ
shall
be
an
vnperfect
sauiour
,
for
if
the
Pope
will
giue
christ
leaue
to
forgiue
the
sin
,
yet
he
will
in
no
wise
giue
him
leaue
to
forgiue
the
paine
,
but
we
must
to
purgatorie
to
be
plunged
there
,
and
if
there
bee
not
good
store
of
money
left
to
the
priests
,
and
to
pay
well
for
their
Dyrges
Trentals
and
●oule
Masses
:
but
the
Pope
himselfe
,
he
hath
full
powre
and
authority
to
graunt
pardons
for
all
sins
,
euen
a
pena
,
and
a
culpa
,
aswell
for
the
offence
as
for
the
punishment
:
and
not
onely
of
sinnes
that
are
actually
committed
,
but
likewise
of
sinnes
before
they
are
done
,
as
to
the
holy
Frier
that
kild
the
king
of
France
,
to
a
second
againe
that
murthered
the
prince
of
Oranges
,
&
to
sundry
others
to
whom
he
had
in
like
manner
giuen
full
pardon
and
free
absolution
aforehand
to
haue
attempted
the
like
against
our
late
gracious
Queene
Elizabeth
.
Thus
we
do
see
the
Pope
taketh
vpon
him
a
greater
power
to
forgiue
sinnes
then
christ
:
for
christ
forgiueth
no
sinne
but
vpon
vnfeigned
repentance
,
and
yet
the
Pope
will
not
then
suffer
him
to
forgiue
any
more
then
the
bare
crime
,
for
if
we
will
giue
him
no
money
,
the
paine
must
not
be
remitted
but
in
the
scorching
flames
of
purgatory
:
if
this
be
not
directly
the
doctrine
of
Antichrist
,
I
referre
me
to
their
iudgements
that
are
not
too
partiall
,
nay
,
that
are
not
wilfully
blinde
.
CHAP.

.
The
fraits
of
the
Popes
doctrine
,
and
what
it
draweth
after
it
.
BVt
let
vs
see
farther
what
this
doctrine
draweth
after
it
.
If
I
may
get
to
my selfe
satisfacti●n
by
suffering
in
pu●gatorie
for
my
sinnes
,
then
I
haue
gotten
more
by
my
sins
in
suffering
paine
,
then
I
ha●e
done
by
christs
death
,
and
so
consequently
paine
was
more
effectuall
and
strong
for
me
to
obtaine
heauen
,
then
was
christs
passion
:
this
is
the
Popes
doctrine
.
The
reward
of
sinne
is
death
,
and
the
paine
that
dependeth
of
euery
sinne
(
excluding
Christ
)
is
eternall
damnation
:
then
what
shall
purgatorie
doe
,
vnlesse
for
the
vngodly
,
that
should
first
go
to
purgatorie
,
and
after
to
hell
?
There
is
no
remission
of
sinnes
without
blood
,
saith
S.
Paul
.
and
christ
speaking
to
the
theefe
on
the
crosse
,
said
.
This
day
thou
shalt
be
with
me
in
paradise
,
not
in
purgatorie
,
and
Marie
Magdalen
had
her
sinnes
freely
forgiuen
her
by
christ
without
going
to
purgatorie
.
But
to
say
the
trueth
,
there
was
at
that
time
no
such
place
at
all
,
nor
any
one
word
spoken
of
purgat●rie
,
either
in
the
Old
or
New
Testaments
:
and
it
was
many
yeares
after
christs
death
,
before
the
Pope
could
kindle
it
,
but
after
it
once
began
to
burne
,
it
grew
so
hot
,
that
it
melted
more
treasure
out
of
ignorant
mens
purses
,
then
the
King
of
Spaines
west
Indies
did
then
afford
:
but
the
extreame
heat
is
now
well
allayed
,
and
as
men
begin
to
wax
wise
,
so
the
scorching
fire
doth
daily
more
and
more
abate
.
Thus
you
may
see
,
the
Pope
and
his
sects
are
content
to
giue
Christ
his
name
,
but
they
rob
him
of
the
effect
,
and
take
the
signification
of
his
name
to
themselues
,
and
they
make
of
him
but
an
Hypocrite
,
as
they
themselues
be
,
as
though
he
forgaue
vs
our
sinnes
,
but
not
the
paine
due
to
our
sinnes
,
and
then
who
shall
be
saued
?
for
the
paine
due
to
euery
sinne
,
is
eternall
damnation
.
These
therefore
(
as
the
Apostle
saith
)
are
right
Antichrists
,
and
deny
both
the
father
and
the
sonne
,
for
they
deny
the
witnes
that
the
father
bare
vnto
his
son
,
and
depriue
the
sonne
of
the
power
and
glorie
that
his
father
hath
giuen
him
.
CHAP.

The
second
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
.
Antichrist
,
is
likewise
left
vs
by
S.
Iohn
,
as
followeth
.
Hereby
know
ye
the
sp●rit
of
God
,
ener●
spirit
that
confesseth
that
Iesus
is
come
in
the
flesh
,
is
of
God
,
and
euery
spirit
that
confesseth
not
that
Iesus
Christ
is
come
in
the
slesh
is
not
of
God
,
and
the
same
is
that
spirit
of
Antichrist
of
whom
you
haue
heard
that
he
should
come
.
Whatsoeuer
opinion
any
member
of
Antichrist
holdeth
,
the
ground
of
all
his
doctrine
is
to
destroy
this
article
of
our
faith
,
That
Christ
is
come
in
the
flesh
:
for
though
the
most
part
of
all
heretikes
confesse
that
Christ
is
come
in
the
flesh
,
in
their
maner
,
yet
they
deny
that
he
is
come
as
the
scriptures
testifie
,
&
the
Apostles
preach
him
to
become
:
for
the
whole
studie
of
the
diuell
and
all
his
members
is
to
destroy
the
hope
,
and
trust
that
we
should
haue
in
Christs
flesh
,
and
of
those
things
that
he
suffered
for
vs
in
his
flesh
,
and
of
the
Testament
and
promises
of
mercie
which
are
made
vs
in
his
flesh
:
for
the
scriptures
testifie
,
that
Christ
hath
taken
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
in
his
flesh
,
and
that
the
same
houre
that
he
yeelded
vp
his
spirit
into
the
hands
of
his
father
,
he
had
fully
purged
,
and
made
full
satisfaction
for
all
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
But
that
Christ
hath
done
this
seruice
in
the
flesh
,
all
the
members
of
Antichrist
doe
deny
,
and
hereby
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
thou
shalt
know
them
.
All
doctrine
that
buildeth
thee
vpon
Christ
,
to
put
thy
trust
and
confidence
in
his
blood
,
is
of
God
,
&
true
doctrine
:
and
all
doctrine
that
withdraweth
thy
hope
,
and
trust
from
Christ
,
is
of
the
diuell
,
and
the
doctrine
of
Antichrist
.
Let
vs
now
examine
the
Pope
by
this
rule
,
and
wee
shall
finde
that
all
that
he
doth
is
the
destruction
of
this
article
,
he
wresteth
all
the
scriptures
,
and
setteth
them
cleane
against
the
hai●e
,
to
destroy
this
article
,
he
ministreth
the
very
sacraments
,
to
the
destruction
of
this
article
,
and
all
his
other
ceremonies
,
as
his
absolution
,
penance
,
purgatorie
,
dispensations
,
pardons
,
vowes
,
with
all
his
other
disguisings
is
to
that
purpose
.
The
Pope
preacheth
that
Christ
is
come
to
doe
away
sinnes
,
yet
not
in
the
flesh
,
but
in
water
,
salt
,
oyle
,
candles
,
ashes
,
Friers
coates
,
and
Munkes
cowles
,
and
in
the
vowes
of
them
that
forsweare
matrimonie
to
keepe
harlots
,
and
sweare
beggerie
,
to
possesse
as
much
riches
,
wealth
,
ease
,
and
pleasure
,
as
this
world
may
afford
them
,
and
haue
vowed
obedience
to
disobey
,
by
authoritie
,
all
lawes
both
of
God
and
man
,
and
these
hypocriticall
and
false
sacrifices
teacheth
he
vs
to
trust
vnto
for
the
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
,
and
not
in
Christs
flesh
.
CHAP.

The
third
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
.
S
.
Paule
againe
in
his
second
epistle
to
the
Thessalonians
,
giueth
this
third
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
:
where
he
saith
,
that
Antichrist
shall
sit
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
shewing
himselfe
that
he
is
God
.
By
this
it
may
euidently
appeare
,
that
Antichrist
shall
come
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
shall
be
a
counterfeit
christian
:
for
otherwise
he
should
haue
beene
an
open
and
expresse
enemy
vnto
Christ
,
A
Turke
,
a
●ewe
,
an
infidell
o●
heathen
,
whose
temples
are
the
temples
of
Idols
,
and
therefore
not
to
be
called
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
so
S.
Augustine
doth
vnderstand
the
Apostles
words
,
for
saith
he
,
The
Temple
of
an
Idoll
or
a
diuell
the
Apostle
would
neuer
call
the
Temple
of
God
.
But
Antichrist
shall
sit
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
hee
shall
not
defy
the
name
of
Christ
,
but
he
shall
call
himselfe
Christs
v●car
,
the
most
catholike
father
,
the
seruant
of
Gods
seruants
,
by
these
meanes
he
shall
be
exalted
in
the
eie
of
the
world
,
he
shall
win
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
he
shall
sit
in
the
consciences
of
men
,
he
shall
make
Kings
and
Princes
to
become
his
subiects
,
he
shall
deceiue
the
learned
and
wise
,
he
shall
cast
himselfe
into
a
colour
of
holinesse
,
he
shall
fast
,
he
shall
pray
,
he
shall
giue
almes
,
hee
shall
walke
as
if
hee
were
a
disciple
of
Christ
,
he
shall
go
before
,
and
the
world
shall
follow
him
,
they
shall
run
to
him
out
of
all
parts
of
the
earth
,
they
shall
fall
downe
before
him
,
they
shall
say
vnto
him
,
thou
art
the
comfort
of
the
Church
,
thou
art
the
light
of
the
world
,
thou
art
most
holy
,
all
law
and
all
knowledge
is
hid
in
thy
breast
,
we
beseech
thy
holines
shew
vs
thy
way
,
expound
thou
the
scriptures
vnto
vs
,
teach
vs
how
wee
may
bee
saued
,
thou
hast
the
key
of
knowledge
,
thy
word
is
the
word
of
truth
,
thou
canst
not
erre
.
Thus
shall
Antichrist
deceiue
the
world
,
thus
shall
he
dwell
in
the
consciences
of
the
people
,
thus
shall
he
sit
in
the
temple
of
God
,
but
the
Apostle
saith
further
,
that
he
shall
shew
him selfe
that
he
is
God
.
The
Apostle
doth
not
say
that
he
shall
call
him selfe
God
,
for
that
were
too
broad
,
and
euery
man
would
then
beware
of
him
,
and
would
say
this
is
but
a
mortall
man
,
borne
as
other
men
be
of
father
and
mother
,
and
they
likewise
both
mortall
,
and
againe
he
shall
die
and
returne
to
the
earth
from
whence
he
came
:
but
God
had
no
beginning
neither
shall
haue
ending
,
Antichrist
him selfe
knoweth
all
this
,
and
therefore
will
not
dea●e
so
openly
to
call
himselfe
God
,
but
yet
will
shew
himselfe
a
GOD
,
and
will
be
contented
that
other
men
should
so
repute
him
,
as
Pope
Nicolas
saith
,
It
is
well
knowne
that
the
Pope
(
of
the
godly
Prince
Constantine
)
was
called
God
.
Againe
in
the
Extrauagantes
,
in
the
same
Canon
Lawe
,
it
is
written
,
Dominus
Deus
noster
Papa
,
Our
Lord
God
the
Pope
.
And
Christofer
Marcellus
in
the
counsaile
of
Laterane
,
said
to
the
Pope
,
Thou
art
another
God
vpon
earth
.
CHAP.
XII
.
How
the
Pope
doth
shew
himselfe
that
he
is
a
God
.
BVt
he
shall
shew
himselfe
that
he
is
a
God
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
he
shall
receiue
all
reuerence
as
if
he
were
God
.
The
Pope
hath
done
this
you
see
,
he
hath
compared
his
lawes
with
the
lawes
of
God
,
hee
hath
said
that
his
word
is
the
word
of
God
,
and
whatsoeuer
he
saith
,
it
must
be
said
it
is
the
voice
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
of
the
same
authoritie
as
is
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
no
man
may
breake
it
,
no
man
may
touch
the
credit
therof
,
if
any
man
withstand
it
,
he
must
be
accursed
,
he
must
thinke
hee
doth
sacriledge
,
committeth
blasphemy
,
sinneth
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
must
be
counted
an
heretike
:
his
authoritie
reacheth
vp
into
heauen
,
it
stretcheth
downe
into
hell
,
nay
hee
hath
one
kingdome
proper
to
himselfe
more
then
euer
God
knew
of
,
and
that
is
purgatorie
,
there
he
raigne●h
,
there
he
ruleth
,
there
he
rosteth
,
there
he
broyleth
,
and
there
he
commandeth
how
he
list
,
there
is
no
bodie
else
to
controule
him
.
Thus
doth
Antichrist
sit
on
the
Temple
of
God
:
thus
doth
the
Pope
shew
himselfe
that
he
is
God
.
Nay
what
hath
God
proper
to
himselfe
,
but
that
the
Pope
is
either
a
sharer
with
him
,
or
at
the
least
can
command
the
like
?
God
hath
heauen
and
hell
,
the
Pope
can
command
them
both
,
and
send
to
either
the
soules
of
whome
hee
list
.
God
hath
his
Angels
that
be
his
ministers
,
the
Pope
may
command
their
seruice
,
and
may
imploy
them
about
his
busines
as
often
as
it
pleaseth
him
,
or
else
hi●
vpholders
haue
shamefully
mistaken
.
God
hath
his
Saints
,
the
Pope
maketh
saints
,
both
he-saints
and
she-saints
,
at
his
owne
will
and
pleasure
.
God
hath
his
scriptures
,
&
the
Pope
hath
his
Counsels
,
his
decrees
and
his
canons
.
God
hath
his
Church
,
a
poore
sillie
one
,
the
Pope
hath
his
Church
a
braue
lustie
one
.
God
hath
his
sacraments
,
the
Pope
maketh
sacraments
two
for
his
one
.
God
hath
his
lawes
,
whereby
to
rule
his
Church
,
the
Pope
maketh
lawes
whereby
to
rule
his
Church
.
God
commandeth
the
sabboth
day
to
be
kept
holy
,
the
Pope
maketh
holy
daies
and
halfe
holy
daies
,
sometimes
two
or
three
in
a
weeke
.
Can
a
man
shew
himselfe
more
like
a
God
then
doth
the
Pope
?
if
any
man
can
name
him
,
l●t
him
bee
Antichrist
.
Nay
yet
to
shew
himselfe
more
like
a
God
,
the
Pope
will
vndertake
to
make
a
God
,
a
poore
sillie
God
,
that
is
not
able
to
defend
himselfe
from
the
malice
of
a
mouse
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
The
fourth
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
.
AN
other
reason
to
proue
that
the
Pope
is
Antichrist
is
this
,
who●oeuer
beleeueth
in
Christ
,
consenteth
that
Gods
lawe
is
good
:
the
Pope
consenteth
not
that
Gods
lawe
is
good
,
for
he
forbiddeth
holy
wedlock
commanded
by
God
:
but
wedlocke
(
saith
the
Pope
)
defileth
holy
Priesthoode
more
then
whoredome
,
he
hath
notwithstanding
made
a
sacrament
of
Matrimony
.
And
is
not
this
a
diueli●h
doctrine
to
say
that
sacraments
can
defile
?
what
can
be
more
contrary
to
the
doctrine
of
Christ
?
the
Pope
forbiddeth
wedlock
,
which
God
commandeth
,
and
licenseth
whoredome
which
God
forbiddeth
:
but
this
is
an
other
euident
token
of
Antichrist
,
and
noted
by
S.
Paul
to
be
a
Now
the
spirit
speaketh
euidently
,
that
in
the
latter
times
some
shall
depart
from
the
faith
,
and
shall
giue
heede
vnto
spirits
of
errour
,
and
doctrines
of
diuels
,
forbidding
to
marry
,
and
commanding
to
absteine
from
meates
,
which
God
hath
created
to
be
receiued
with
thanksgiuing
,
of
them
which
beleeue
and
know
the
truth
.
The
Pope
againe
,
directly
opposeth
himselfe
against
Christ
,
and
seeketh
to
drawe
vs
from
the
mercie
of
God
,
and
telleth
vs
we
haue
other
friends
to
whom
we
are
beholding
,
and
haue
done
many
good
things
for
vs
:
it
was
that
Saint
that
tooke
pittie
of
our
griefes
(
saith
he
)
at
such
a
time
:
and
our
Ladie
hath
wrought
many
myracles
at
such
a
place
:
but
Saint
Patricke
is
the
good
Saint
,
that
hath
done
marueilous
things
in
Ireland
,
and
as
euery
Saint
hath
his
peculiar
property
to
worke
more
in
one
place
then
they
can
doe
in
an
other
:
so
euery
Saint
hath
his
seuerall
office
,
some
better
for
one
thing
,
and
some
worse
for
an
other
:
one
is
very
good
for
the
falling
sicknesse
,
an
other
is
excellent
good
for
the
tooth-ache
,
one
is
a
present
remedy
for
a
burning
,
an
other
is
as
precious
for
him
that
hath
the
chine
▪
cough
.
If
a
woman
be
barraine
and
would
faine
haue
a
childe
,
let
her
go
on
pilgrimage
to
S.
Thomas
of
Canterburie
,
or
in
Ireland
to
the
Holy
Crosse
,
or
to
S.
Clen●cks
well
:
and
she
that
cannot
make
her
pulline
to
prosper
,
or
that
her
chickins
bee
troubled
with
the
pip
,
seeke
helpe
from
S.
Reuen
.
Thus
euery
Saint
hath
his
seueral
charge
:
euery
man
hath
his
seuerall
Saint
:
and
euery
Saint
is
full
of
miracles
,
and
euery
myracle
full
of
lies
.
The
Papists
doe
alledge
many
vngodly
reasons
,
wherby
they
would
maintaine
a
necessite
in
praying
to
Saints
:
and
to
auoide
Idolatrie
,
they
would
make
certaine
distinctions
betweene
the
worship
of
God
and
the
worship
of
Saints
:
but
let
them
distinguish
how
they
can
,
this
is
certaine
,
Come
vnto
me
all
you
that
be
laden
and
I
will
ease
you
:
if
hee
of
himselfe
hath
louingly
called
vs
vnto
him
▪
why
then
to
seeke
to
any
other
,
is
vpon
some
distrust
we
haue
of
him
,
and
that
is
as
much
as
to
make
God
alyer
,
and
not
to
thinke
him
true
in
the
promise
he
hath
made
vs
.
Againe
,
if
we
will
giue
credit
to
S.
Paul
,
there
is
no
other
mediator
for
vs
to
secke
vnto
,
but
onely
Christ
,
There
is
one
God
,
and
one
mediator
betweene
God
and
man
,
which
is
,
the
man
Iesus
Christ
:
and
for
that
foolish
distinction
that
grose
headed
Papists
will
make
betweene
worshipping
and
seruing
,
our
sauiour
himselfe
hath
decided
,
Thou
shalt
worship
thy
Lord
thy
God
,
and
him
onely
shalt
thou
serue
.
I
will
conclude
,
whosoeuer
seeketh
any
other
mediator
then
our
Lord
Iesus
,
is
iniurious
vnto
Christ
,
and
therefore
of
Antichrist
:
and
whosoeuer
kneeleth
and
prayeth
to
blocks
,
stones
,
Images
,
or
the
pictures
of
Saincts
,
the
same
expresly
breaketh
the
commandement
of
God
,
and
deserueth
to
haue
his
portion
amongst
the
wicked
.
CHAP.

The
fifth
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
.
ONe
other
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
,
our
Sauiour
himselfe
hath
giuen
vs
:
Fals●
Christs
and
false
Prophets
shall
arise
,
and
shat
shew
signes
and
wonders
,
to
deceiue
(
if
it
were
possible
)
the
very
elect
.
This
speech
thus
spoken
by
our
Sauiour
is
not
directed
to
the
heathen
or
to
infidels
,
but
to
such
as
shall
professe
Christ
;
and
therefore
concludeth
vndoubtedly
,
that
Antichrist
shall
be
a
christian
in
profession
,
&
that
he
shall
not
be
one
man
onely
,
but
a
continuance
of
many
;
for
he
speaketh
in
the
plurall
number
:
False
Christs
,
and
false
Prophets
shall
come
with
signes
and
wonders
,
&c.
S.
Paul
giuing
vs
a
light
what
those
signes
and
wonders
should
be
that
Antichrist
should
come
with
all
,
in
his
second
epistle
to
the
Thessalonians
,
calleth
them
lying
signes
,
and
lying
wonder●
.
This
is
now
to
be
gathered
,
False
Christs
shall
come
,
that
is
,
they
shall
come
co●nter●eitly
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
they
shall
shew
their
wonders
before
the
Lord
,
and
bee
a
●ore
temptation
vnto
them
,
to
bring
them
out
of
the
way
:
but
the
Elect
shall
be
kept
by
the
mightie
hand
of
God
against
all
naturall
possibili●ie
,
so
that
the
elect
and
chosen
of
God
shall
neuer
be
without
persecution
and
temptation
of
their
faith
(
not
as
those
that
are
vnder
the
Pope
,
for
they
present
but
suffer
not
)
and
those
which
the
Pope
calleth
heretikes
,
shew
no
myracles
by
their
owne
confession
,
neither
ought
they
,
in
as
much
as
they
bring
no
new
learning
,
nor
any
other
thing
,
then
only
the
scripture
,
which
is
already
receiued
,
and
hath
beene
confi●med
by
Christ
&
his
Apostles
,
with
wonderfull
myracles
many
hundred
yeares
sithence
.
This
is
then
to
be
noted
,
that
euen
as
Christ
at
his
comming
,
altered
the
state
of
the
Church
,
from
the
corruption
of
the
pharises
,
and
confirmed
his
doctrine
with
myracles
,
so
Antichrist
at
his
comming
,
seeketh
to
alter
the
Church
from
that
puritie
which
Christ
and
his
Apostles
had
left
it
in
,
and
worketh
myracles
to
o●erthrow
the
Gospell
:
new
doctrine
must
be
confirmed
with
new
mytacles
,
Antichrist
seeke●h
to
deface
what
Christ
hath
builded
long
agoe
,
Christ
hath
fortified
his
building
with
miracles
,
Antichrist
seeketh
to
vndermine
the
whole
foundation
which
Christ
hath
laid
,
and
to
build
a
new
for
himselfe
by
my●acles
:
and
this
was
prophesied
of
aforehand
by
Christ
,
and
this
was
prophesied
on
a
forehand
by
Paul
.
Christ
saith
,
Antichrist
shall
come
with
signes
and
wonders
to
deceiue
:
S.
Paul
saith
,
He
shall
come
with
lying
signes
and
lying
wonders
to
deceiue
,
and
what
miracles
be
those
that
the
Pope
hath
brought
to
confirme
his
doctrine
withall
?
looke
through
their
golden
legend
,
and
tell
me
how
many
true
myracles
be
in
the
whole
booke
:
what
apparitions
of
Saints
,
and
isions
of
angels
haue
beene
forged
to
come
from
heauen
?
what
yelling
of
spirits
,
and
crying
of
soules
haue
beene
faigned
to
come
from
purgatorie
?
these
be
myracles
,
signes
and
wonders
wrought
by
Antichrist
&
his
ministers
:
but
as
S.
Paul
saith
,
lying
miracles
,
both
themselues
deceiptfull
and
pretending
to
deceiue
:
deceiptfull
in
themselues
,
for
that
they
were
but
lies
and
popish
practises
counterfeitly
forged
whereby
to
deceiue
the
simple
and
ignorant
people
,
to
leade
them
into
errours
,
and
to
cosin
them
of
their
money
,
in
purchasing
of
pardons
,
dyrges
and
masses
.
And
were
not
these
miracles
to
heare
it
told
that
Roodes
could
speake
,
Belles
could
ring
alone
,
Images
could
come
downe
and
light
their
own
candles
,
Blocks
could
turne
their
eies
and
wag
their
lips
,
shake
their
heads
,
moue
their
hands
,
and
some
of
them
could
knit
sinues
,
sette
bones
,
heale
the
sicke
,
giue
sight
to
the
blinde
,
make
the
lame
to
goe
,
but
are
not
these
practises
discou●red
long
agoe
,
and
●ound
out
to
be
no
other
then
slights
and
meere
deceipts
?
These
are
called
miracles
,
and
are
indeede
but
lies
,
and
there
are
none
but
Papists
that
would
be
mocked
with
them
.
CHAP.
XV.
What
signes
and
wonders
they
should
be
that
are
brought
in
by
Ant●christ
.
SAint
Paul
saith
,
The
comming
of
Antichrist
shall
be
by
the
working
of
Sathan
,
with
all
power
and
Can
any
thing
be
spoken
more
plainely
?
these
shall
be
the
workes
of
Antichrist
which
hee
shall
bring
to
passe
,
that
is
to
say
,
lying
wonders
:
this
shall
he
worke
with
all
deceiueablenesse
,
that
is
,
he
shall
come
with
all
kinde
of
shifts
and
deceipt
:
and
with
whom
shal
he
preuaile
,
and
who
be
they
that
shall
bee
deceiued
?
Those
that
perish
because
they
loued
not
the
truth
that
they
might
be
saued
:
and
therefore
God
shall
send
them
strong
delusions
to
beleeue
lies
.
This
text
must
also
pertaine
to
a
multitude
gathered
together
in
Christs
name
,
which
for
lack
of
loue
vnto
the
trueth
,
shall
be
led
into
all
errour
,
to
beleeue
in
crosses
,
to
beleeue
in
visions
,
to
beleeue
in
welles
,
and
to
giue
credit
to
all
maner
of
fables
,
but
the
truth
they
shall
not
beleeue
,
That
they
might
be
damned
for
not
beleeuing
,
but
had
pleasure
in
vnrighteousnes
.
If
these
things
had
not
beene
thus
sensibly
foretold
vs
long
agoe
by
the
holy
ghost
,
it
might
haue
beene
thought
a
strange
matter
,
that
so
many
should
be
thus
still
led
away
from
the
pure
and
vndefiled
word
of
God
,
and
to
giue
themselues
ouer
to
follow
dreames
&
fantasies
,
but
it
is
an
euident
token
,
that
their
harts
are
not
marked
with
the
spirit
of
God
,
but
are
led
by
strong
delusions
to
beleeue
lies
.
CHAP.
XVI
.
The
sixth
marke
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
.
YEt
one
other
note
is
giuen
vs
by
Saint
Peter
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
:
and
(
saith
hee
)
There
shall
bee
false
teachers
amongst
you
,
which
shall
secretly
bring
in
damnable
sects
,
denying
the
Lord
that
bought
them
,
and
many
shall
follow
their
damnable
waies
,
by
w●om
,
the
way
of
truth
shall
be
euill
spoken
of
,
&
with
faigned
words
they
shall
make
marchandice
of
you
:
now
saith
S.
Paul
,
The
lawe
speaketh
to
them
that
are
vnder
the
lawe
:
and
euen
so
,
this
is
spoken
to
them
that
professe
the
name
of
Christ
.
There
shall
be
false
teachers
that
shall
bring
in
damnable
sects
.
Histories
make
mention
of
one
Anthony
,
who
liued
in
the
wildernesse
of
Thebais
in
Egypt
in
maner
of
a
Hermer
,
Anno
361
:
he
had
three
disciples
,
Darmatas
,
Amat●s
and
M●charius
,
these
liued
solitarily
,
and
in
strictnes
of
life
,
but
it
was
in
the
time
of
persecution
,
whereby
to
shift
them
from
the
hands
of
tyrants
,
and
proceeded
at
the
first
of
a
good
zeale
to
godlinesse
:
but
the
diuell
the
peruerter
of
all
things
,
did
so
impoison
the
hearts
of
them
that
followed
,
that
they
had
more
trust
to
their
owne
workes
then
faith
in
Christs
blood
,
and
after
that
,
men
began
new
rules
of
works
to
be
their
owne
sauiours
.
Benet
.
he
succeeded
Anno
,
524
,
and
in
the
time
of
Iohn
the
first
,
and
he
pre●cribed
institutions
to
a
certain
order
of
Monkes
.
In
Anno
,
850
,
and
in
the
time
of
Sergius
the
third
,
sprung
vp
a
new
sect
of
Camaldimenses
,
a
holy
company
that
kept
perpetuall
silence
,
they
fasted
,
went
barefoote
,
and
vsed
to
ly
on
the
ground
.
In
Anno
,
1060
,
vnder
Gregorie
the
sixth
,
there
sprung
vp
a
new
sect
of
Monkes
,
calling
them selues
the
order
of
the
shadowed
valley
.
The
Monkes
of
Oliuet
sprung
vp
as
a
fruit
of
disorder
,
ina
time
o●
strife
betweene
three
Bishops
,
in
Anno
,
1047
,
vnder
Gregorie
the
twelfth
.
The
sect
of
Grandmontensis
sprung
vp
vnder
Alexander
the
second
,
in
Anno
,
1076.
Innocentius
the
third
,
admitted
the
Humilitates
in
Anno
,
1166
▪
and
a
little
before
that
,
in
Anno
,
1098
,
vnder
Vrbane
the
second
,
began
the
order
of
the
Cistercians
.
Celestinus
the
first
,
founded
the
Celestines
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
,
one
thousand
,
one
hundred
eighty
eight
.
Here
followeth
now
such
a
●abblement
of
others
,
as
Gilbertines
,
Lustinians
,
Hieronimians
,
Augustins
,
the
order
of
Saint
Sauiour
,
Scopeteines
,
Frisonaries
,
brethren
●f
S.
George

Alga
,
Charterhouse

,

,

,
Frauncis
Fryers
,
Minorites
,

,
Obseruants
,
the
order
of
Trinitte
,
Bouhomes
,
&
now
lately
viperous
broode
of
Iesuites
.
Then
were
their
women
lectaries
,
as
Penitenciers
,
Brigidians
,
Magdaline
sisters
,
with
other
Nunnes
of
diuerse
sortes
.
Yet
I
might
speake
of
graue-keepers
,
called
knights
of
the
Sepulcher
,
knights
of
S.
Iohns
,
knights
of
S.
Mary
,
Temple
knights
,
Iesus
knights
,
and
such
a
rabblement
of
sundry
other
sects
by
me
ouer
slipped
,
of
which
if
I
should
vndertake
to
set
downe
,
their
obseruations
,
their
dissimulations
,
their
abominations
,
together
with
their
hypocrisie
,
and
filthy
liuing
,
I
might
write
for
euery
letter
a
line
,
for
euery
line
a
leafe
,
and
for
euery
leafe
a
whole
quire
of
paper
,
and
it
would
yet
be
too
little
to
discipher
out
their
abominable
practises
.
These
sects
haue
beene
all
of
them
,
instituted
,
ratified
,
confirmed
and
allowed
by
Antichrist
the
Pope
,
&
yet
not
founded
all
by
one
Pope
,
but
by
sundry
Popes
:
according
to
the
words
of
the
Apostle
,
There
shall
bee
false
teachers
,
which
shall
bring
in
damnable
sects
:
the
Apostle
speaketh
in
the
plurall
number
,
and
wee
see
it
is
fulfilled
:
and
these
sects
as
they
were
infinite
,
so
they
were
as
diuerse
in
their
opinions
,
yet
all
of
them
of
one
assent
in
this
,
they
all
denyed
Christ
,
and
they
all
preached
the
Pope
,
they
deny
that
Christ
is
sufficient
for
their
saluation
,
but
they
must
atteine
it
by
working
,
by
fasting
,
by
going
on
pilgrimage
,
with
a
number
of
other
ceremonies
,
too
foolish
to
be
set
downe
.
Here
againe
are
the
words
of
the
Apostle
verified
,
They
shall
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
them
,
and
follow
their
damnable
waies
,
by
whom
the
way
of
trueth
shall
be
euill
spoken
of
.
Now
what
trueth
in
Christ
doth
not
the
Pope
and
his
shauelings
rebuke
?
and
in
setting
vp
their
workes
,
and
following
their
owne
waies
,
deny
altogether
the
truth
of
Christs
waies
?
And
with
faigned
words
they
shall
make
marchandice
of
you
,
can
any
thing
be
more
directly
spoken
?
and
to
proue
that
they
come
with
faigned
words
,
where
find
we
in
any
place
throughout
the
whole
scriptures
that
maketh
mention
of
purgatory
,
of
shrift
,
of
the
sacraments
of
confirmation
,
of
penance
,
of
pardons
,
and
such
other
trash
,
all
of
their
owne
faining
,
and
by
this
meanes
doe
they
make
marchandice
of
our
soules
.
These
lights
and
many
others
whereby
to
discerne
Antichrist
,
are
left
vnto
vs
in
the
holy
scriptures
,
where
the
Beast
seeing
himselfe
to
be
sought
for
,
he
roareth
,
and
therefore
to
hide
himselfe
the
more
closely
,
he
persecuteth
the
word
of
God
,
and
seeketh
with
all
wilynes
to
driue
the
people
from
it
,
and
with
false
and
sophisticall
reasons
,
would
make
vs
afraid
of
it
:
he
curseth
and
excommunicateth
those
that
would
reade
it
:
perswading
them
they
are
damned
,
if
they
doe
but
looke
on
it
,
but
let
not
this
dismay
vs
to
seeke
our
soules
:
health
,
for
there
we
shall
finde
the
sweete
promises
of
God
,
to
the
great
comfort
of
poo●e
distressed
sinners
.
Whatsoeuer
is
written
,
is
written
for
our
learning
,
saith
saint
Paul
,
but
the
Pope
would
perswade
they
are
written
to
deceiue
vs
,
and
hee
is
contented
to
sanctifie
vs
with
holy
oyle
,
holy
bread
,
holy
salt
,
holy
candles
,
holy
water
,
holy
blessings
,
holy
ceremonies
,
and
what
other
holynes
a
man
himselfe
would
wish
for
,
sauing
the
holinesse
of
Gods
word
for
that
he
will
in
no
wise
have
vs
to
deale
with
all
,
&
this
is
the
doctrine
of
Antichrist
,
and
these
be
the
markes
whereby
to
know
him
.
CHAP.

Speciall
notes
whereby
to
●onfirme
the
Pope
to
be
Antichrist
.
THe
scriptures
haue
hitherto
furnished
vs
with
sufficient
notes
whereby
to
know
Antichrist
,
and
there
are
diuerse
testimonies
yet
to
bee
gathered
,
and
all
of
them
confirming
the
Pope
to
bee
that
man
of
sinne
that
hath
set
himselfe
against
Christ
,
but
let
vs
here
examine
some
fewe
examples
.
Christ
was
humble
and
meeke
,
and
the
Apostle
He
humbled
himselfe
and
became
obedient
euen
vnto
the
death
,
euen
the
death
of
the
crosse
:
and
our
sauiour
himselfe
commanding
his
disciples
to
follow
his
example
saith
,
Learne
of
me
that
am
meeke
and
lowly
in
heart
,
&
ye
shall
finde
rest
vnto
your
soules
:
but
is
this
humilitie
to
be
found
in
the
Pope
?
behold
his
estate
,
his
doctrine
,
his
disciples
,
his
life
,
you
shall
see
nothing
but
pompe
and
glorie
,
he
ruleth
ouer
nations
and
kingdomes
,
he
maketh
euery
knee
to
bowe
downe
vnto
him
,
hee
maketh
Emperours
and
Kings
to
bring
him
water
,
to
carry
his
traine
,
to
leade
his
horse
,
to
hold
his
stirrop
,
to
kisse
his
●eete
,
he
will
needes
rule
ouer
all
the
world
,
and
saith
,
I
am
Lord
of
lords
,
and
King
of
kings
,
the
whole
world
is
my
dyocesse
.
If
Christ
,
when
the
diuell
profered
him
the
kingdomes
of
the
world
and
the
glorie
thereof
,
refused
them
as
things
impossible
to
stand
with
his
kingdome
,
of
whom
is
the
Pope
that
hath
receiued
them
?
the
diuel
said
to
Christ
,
Fall
downe
and
worship
me
,
and
I
wil
giue
thee
all
,
the
Pope
saith
to
the
Emperour
,
fall
downe
and
kisse
my
feete
,
and
I
will
giue
thee
thine
Empire
,
he
saith
to
kings
in
like
maner
,
sweare
to
defend
me
and
my
prescriptions
,
and
I
will
vphold
thy
crowne
,
&
will
giue
thee
this
or
that
kingdome
.
And
as
Christ
commanded
his
to
be
lowly
,
so
hee
commanded
them
to
all
obedience
:
but
the
Pope
will
none
of
that
,
but
as
he
setteth
himselfe
at
liberty
,
and
will
be
tyed
to
no
lawe
,
neither
of
God
nor
man
,
so
hee
that
will
obey
neither
father
,
mother
,
neither
Lord
nor
master
,
neither
King
nor
Prince
,
let
him
but
take
the
marke
of
the
Beast
,
let
him
but
shaue
himselfe
a
Monke
,
a
Fryer
,
a
Priest
,
or
some
any
one
of
those
sects
formerly
rehearsed
,
and
the
matter
is
dispatched
,
he
is
exempted
from
all
seruice
and
obedience
due
vnto
man
:
and
the
more
disobedient
he
sheweth
himselfe
vnto
the
ordinances
of
God
,
the
more
apt
and
meete
he
is
for
the
seruice
of
the
Pope
:
neither
is
the
professing
,
vowing
,
and
swearing
obedience
vnto
their
ordinances
,
any
other
thing
▪
then
the
denying
,
defying
,
and
foreswearing
obedience
to
the
ordinances
of
God
.
Doth
not
the
Popes
doctrine
flatly
teach
disobedience
,
rebellion
and
insurrection
,
commanding
the
people
to
armes
,
and
to
send
his
tradition●
with
sword
and
fire
,
and
neither
to
obey
father
,
mother
,
master
,
Lord
,
King
nor
Emperour
,
but
to
inuade
whatsoeuer
land
or
nation
that
will
not
obey
his
godhead
?
how
bestirreth
he
himselfe
at
this
day
,
that
seeing
his
excommunications
and
cursings
are
so
little
regarded
,
that
men
doe
eate
their
meate
with
neuer
the
lesse
stomacks
,
hee
now
falles
to
blowing
vp
the
coles
of
rebellion
,
of
sedition
,
of
treason
,
he
raiseth
subiects
against
their
Princes
,
and
setteth
Princes
vpon
their
subiects
,
and
thus
vnder
the
tytle
of
Seruus
seruorum
,
hee
sheweth
himselfe
to
bee
Tirannus
,
tirannorum
.
This
is
the
Popes
doctrine
,
this
is
his
humilitie
,
this
is
his
obedience
,
and
this
is
all
his
pietie
that
is
so
cloked
vnder
that
great
shew
of
holinesse
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
The
Pope
taketh
vpon
him
to
bee
the
head
of
Christs
Church
.
THe
Pope
further
chalengeth
to
be
the
head
of
Christs
church
,
but
what
can
be
more
contrary
both
to
Christ
and
his
Church
?
for
the
church
beeing
compact
of
many
members
,
is
made
one
bodie
,
whereof
Christ
is
the
head
:
God
hath
appeinted
Christ
euer
all
things
to
be
head
of
the
Church
:
now
if
the
Pope
will
chalenge
to
be
the
head
of
this
Church
,
what
doth
he
then
but
make
two
heads
of
one
body
,
deforming
altogether
,
and
making
a
monster
of
the
Church
of
Christ
?
Againe
in
seuerall
places
of
the
Scriptures
,
the
Church
is
called
the
spouse
of
Christ
,
as
S.
Iohn
in
his
Reuelation
saith
,
The
true
Church
,
the
sponse
and
wife
of
the
Lamb
:
and
an
honest
wife
can
haue
but
one
husband
&
one
head
at
one
time
▪
the
which
when
she
forsaketh
,
and
committeth
her selfe
to
an
other
,
she
playeth
the
Harlot
,
as
that
whori●h
Church
of
Rome
hath
already
done
.
And
as
Antichrist
hath
thus
sought
to
disfigure
the
Church
of
Christ
,
so
hath
he
likewise
defaced
the
Sacraments
left
vnto
the
church
by
our
sauiour
:
for
where
christ
and
his
Apostles
haueleft
the
sacrament
o●
Baptisme
,
to
be
ministred
with
water
and
with
the
holy
Ghost
,
Antichrist
hath
added
oyle
to
grease
them
,
spittle
to
poison
them
,
and
salt
to
stifle
them
:
for
the
sacrament
of
christs
body
which
he
hath
left
vnto
vs
as
a
signe
of
his
blood-shedding
,
and
to
be
kept
as
a
memoriall
till
his
comming
againe
,
Antichrist
hath
made
it
a
most
abominable
Idoll
,
commanding
it
to
be
worshiped
,
and
the
people
thereby
to
commit
Idolatrie
.
Thus
hath
he
broken
the
first
institution
.
And
where
christ
saith
,
Take
ye
,
and
eate
ye
:
hee
saith
,
kneele
yee
downe
and
worship
.
And
where
christ
saith
,
Drinke
ye
all
of
this
cup
,
the
Pope
saith
,
it
serueth
onely
for
the
Priests
,
and
that
those
words
Drinke
ye
all
of
thy
cup
,
were
onely
spoken
to
the
disciples
,
as
though
the
former
words
,
Take
ye
and
eate
ye
,
were
not
in
like
manner
spoken
to
the
disciples
:
but
this
is
still
the
condition
of
Antichrist
,
to
secke
to
ouerthrow
what
christ
hath
instituted
.
CHAP.
XVIIII
.
Of
the
fiue
Sacraments
instituted
by
the
Pope
.
TO
those
two
Sacraments
left
vs
by
christ
,
the
Pope
hath
added
fiue
others
spicke
and
spanne
new
of
his
owne
making
,
and
not
one
word
throughout
the
whole
scriptures
,
making
any
mention
of
them
,
nor
neuer
heard
on
;
nor
receiued
in
the
church
,
till
Antichrist
began
to
preuaile
:
the
first
of
the
fiue
is
the
sacrament
of
Confirmation
,
and
this
consisteth
of
two
parts
(
as
they
say
)
the
matter
and
the
forme
.
The
matter
is
holy
Chrisme
,
confect
and
made
of
oyle-oliue
and
balme
consecrated
by
a
Bishop
,
an
excellent
receipt
to
scoure
a
rusty
corslet
.
The
forme
is
,
when
any
one
is
confirmed
,
the
Bishop
saying
certaine
words
,
must
make
a
crosse
on
the
forehead
of
the
party
,
with
this
inchanted
ointment
,
and
then
(
be
it
man
or
woman
)
they
are
made
as
holy
,
as
a
paire
of
old
bootes
when
hen
they
come
new
trimmed
from
the
currior
:
here
is
now
to
be
noted
,
what
themselues
doe
attribute
to
this
sacrament
,
and
these
bee
their
owne
words
,
The
sacrament
of
confirmation
is
said
to
be
greater
then
the
sacrament
of
baptisme
,
because
it
is
giuen
by
worthier
persons
,
&
in
the
more
worthier
part
of
the
body
.
Is
not
this
a
sound
doctrine
that
a
drop
of
grease
,
coniured
and
inchanted
,
should
be
preferred
&
made
of
better
worth
then
the
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
left
vnto
vs
by
our
Sauiour
himselfe
:
if
this
be
not
the
doctrine
of
Antichrist
,
let
any
man
iudge
that
is
not
partiall
.
The
Sacrament
of
Penance
is
the
second
,
instituted
likewise
by
the
Pope
,
and
consisteth
of
three
parts
,
Contrition
,
Confession
,
and
Satisfaction
.
Iudas
,
after
he
had
betraied
Christ
,
had
Contrition
,
and
when
he
knew
they
had
condemned
him
,
he
repented
:
he
had
Confession
,
I
ha●e
sinned
in
betraying
the
innocent
blood
▪
he
had
Satisfaction
,
he
went
to
the
high
Priests
,
&
deliuered
backe
againe
the
money
▪
Now
if
Iudas
be
not
a
saint
in
heauen
,
the
Pope
is
Antichrist
in
the
seate
of
Rome
.
They
haue
a
third
Sacrament
of
Extreame
vnction
,
and
this
is
to
be
minis●red
to
sicke
persons
,
the
matter
is
oyle-oliue
,
hallowed
by
a
Bishop
,
wherewith
the
sicke
is
anoyled
,
vpon
the
eies
,
eares
,
mouth
,
nose
,
hands
and
feete
.
And
if
it
be
a
man
,
he
is
farther
anoyled
vpon
the
reines
of
his
backe
,
but
if
a
woman
,
then
they
doe
it
vpon
her
belly
,
they
shew
a
filthy
reason
why
,
because
(
they
s●y
)
concupiscence
raigneth
most
in
th●se
parts
,
but
for
offending
of
godly
eares
,
we
will
let
this
passe
amongst
other
of
their
vncleane
stuffe
whereof
their
doctrine
is
full
.
Their
fourth
Sacrament
is
the
sacrament
of
Order
,
and
this
serueth
onely
for
the
consecrating
of
Priests
:
there
b●●
diuerse
ceremonies
pertaining
to
this
sacr●ment
,
and
(
I
thinke
)
both
the
institution
and
the
obseruation
,
at
the
first
drawne
from
the
foure
&
twentie
orders
,
and
therefore
this
Sacrament
is
better
applyed
then
any
of
the
rest
that
were
founded
by
the
Pope
.
Matrimonie
is
the
fifth
and
last
which
the
Pope
would
haue
to
be
a
Sacrament
,
and
hauing
thus
dignified
it
with
so
holy
a
tytle
,
he
then
prohibits
it
from
his
cleargy
for
feare
of
inf●cting
them
.
Be
not
these
holy
Sacraments
,
that
can
defile
a
man
and
make
him
vnclean●
?
or
is
not
he
a
shamelesse
creature
,
that
will
teach
such
doctrine
?

What
hauocke
the
Pope
keepeth
in
the
Church
of
God
.
SVch
hanock
keepeth
the
Pope
in
the
Church
of
God
,
he
defac●th
the
Sacraments
,
he
peruert●th
the
Scriptures
,
he
corrupteth
the
w●rd
of
God
with
his
traditions
,
he
raceth
out
the
second
commandement
out
of
the
law
of
the
liuing
God
,
he
burneth
the
Bible
,
hee
excommunicateth
,
he
cu●●eth
,
he
persecuteth
,
yet
all
this
will
not
serue
,
but
Antichrist
must
fall
,
his
kingdome
is
of
this
world
,
and
here
he
takes
the
pleasure
thereof
,
which
is
the
diuels
wages
,
and
the
earnest-peny
of
his
euerlasting
damnation
.
Christ
sought
our
profit
and
not
his
owne
,
the
Pope
se●keth
his
owne
profit
,
and
not
ours
,
Christ
became
bound
to
make
vs
free
,
&
le●t
with
his
di●ciples
the
lawe
of
the
loue
,
the
Pope
keepes
all
bound
,
and
himselfe
onely
free
,
and
hath
commended
to
his
shauelings
,
onely
the
loue
of
their
owne
bellies
,
and
let
any
bodie
offer
to
feede
them
,
and
such
persons
shall
be
father
,
mother
,
sister
or
brother
vnto
them
,
they
will
say
he
is
a
good
man
,
he
is
a
father
vnto
vs
▪
and
to
our
whole
fraternitie
,
we
are
bound
to
pray
for
him
,
for
he
doth
much
for
our
religion
,
and
such
a
woman
is
a
good
sister
of
ours
,
nay
,
she
is
a
mother
to
our
Couent
,
for
we
are
more
bound
to
pray
for
our
good
benefactors
,
then
we
are
for
those
that
doe
nothing
for
vs
.
This
is
the
loue
of
the
Popes
disciples
,
the
Monks
,
the
Friers
,
the
Ies●utes
,
and
the
rest
of
those
popish
Pri●sts
,
to
them
that
giue
them
much
,
them
they
loue
much
,
&
to
them
that
giue
little
,
them
they
loue
a
little
,
but
to
them
that
giue
them
nought
,
them
they
loue
nought
,
so
that
al
their
loue
is
b●lly
loue
,
al
their
prayer
bellie
prayer
,
al
their
brotherhood
,
bellie
brotherhood
,
&
for
him
that
will
not
pamper
them
,
there
is
no
loue
,
noprayer
,
no
brotherhod
,
no
kindred
nor
knowledge
:
and
herein
are
still
expressed
the
markes
of
Antichrist
.
O
let
vs
then
open
our
eies
,
God
hath
giuen
vs
eares
to
heare
,
eies
to
see
,
and
hearts
to
vnderstand
,
let
vs
iudge
vprightly
,
it
is
Gods
cause
,
and
we
doe
see
who
it
is
that
hath
carried
himselfe
so
long
time
vnder
the
colour
of
holinesse
,
this
is
he
which
hath
beguiled
and
blinded
the
world
,
this
is
he
that
man
of
sin
,
that
hath
set
himselfe
against
Christ
,
and
vnder
the
pre●ence
to
be
the
vicare
of
Christ
,
hath
sought
to
confound
the
light
of
the
Gospell
which
is
left
vs
by
Christ
.
His
holinesse
is
contented
,
euen
at
Rome
it selfe
,
to
●ollerate
with
any
religion
,
e●cepting
this
of
the
Go●pell
,
he
is
contented
to
suffer
the
Turke
there
to
haue
a
Temple
,
and
the
Iewes
there
to
haue
their
Sinagogues
,
but
hee
can
in
no
wise
admit
so
much
as
a
little

As
there
is
but
one
true
God
,
so
there
is
but
one
truereligion
.
ANd
as
there
is
but
one
God
almightie
,
who
will
haue
no
other
Gods
but
hims●lfe
,
so
there
is
but
one
vndoubted
trueth
(
which
is
holy
&
giuen
by
the
same
God
)
and
will
admit
of
no
other
religion
but
it selfe
:
for
wheresoeuer
it
becommeth
,
it
confoundeth
all
other
doctrines
,
that
is
or
may
be
inuented
by
the
subtiltie
of
Sathan
,
or
any
of
his
ministers
,
and
this
is
the
cause
that
the
Pope
is
so
hatefull
vnto
it
,
and
seeketh
so
much
as
in
him
lyeth
vtterly
to
suppresse
it
.
Histories
make
mention
,
that
in
those
daies
when
the
Romanes
had
brought
the
greatest
part
of
the
world
vnder
their
subiection
:
wheresoeuer
they
became
victors
,
amongst
other
spoiles
they
neuer
failed
to
bring
away
the
Gods
of
the
heathen
,
which
were
still
conueied
to
Rome
,
aswell
in
token
of
their
conquests
:
as
themselues
in
those
daies
being
likewise
Infidels
,
carried
this
opinion
,
that
the
more
Gods
they
had
amongst
them
,
the
greater
trust
they
had
to
preuaile
in
all
their
enterprises
whatsoeuer
they
attempted
.
In
the
honour
of
those
Gods
,
Marcus
Agrippa
edified
a
Temple
called
Panthion
,
wherein
these
Idols
were
altogether
placed
.
We
do
further
reade
,
that
after
the
Romanes
had
subuerted
the
Citie
of
Ierusalem
,
it
was
thought
good
amongst
them
,
that
a
picture
should
be
made
in
the
representation
of
Christ
,
because
he
had
there
beene
reputed
for
a
God
(
although
a
very
simple
one
)
and
a
very
fewe
there
were
at
that
time
that
did
so
esteeme
of
him
,
yet
being
very
loth
that
any
God
,
great
and
small
should
escape
them
:
but
they
would
haue
them
all
in
Rome
in
this
Temple
of
Panthion
.
The
matter
being
thus
in
question
,
in
the
end
they
got
vnderstanding
,
that
Christ
in
his
doctrine
,
would
admit
of
no
more
Gods
but
one
,
whereupon
they
thought
him
not
a
necessari●
or
fit
companion
to
bee
brought
to
their
Temple
,
where
they
had
so
many
Gods
,
that
could
stand
altogether
,
&
could
agree
quietly
amongst
themselues
,
which
they
had
thought
he
would
neuer
haue
done
if
hee
should
bee
once
brought
amongst
them
:
they
therefore
resolued
themselues
,
thinking
it
not
conuenient
to
meddle
with
him
at
all
,
that
would
so
much
disturbe
their
quiet
,
and
so
they
left
him
.
Tell
me
now
,
is
not
our
holy
father
directly
of
this
humour
,
he
can
agree
quietly
with
the
Turkes
and
the
Iewes
,
and
they
likewise
with
him
,
and
hee
can
haue
his
Masse
in
one
Church
,
and
they
can
vse
their
Ceremonies
in
an
other
fast
by
,
all
at
one
instant
,
and
all
within
Rome
:
but
let
any
man
come
there
that
should
but
offer
to
preach
the
Gospell
of
Christ
purely
,
and
should
speake
against
Idolatry
,
and
the
worshipping
of
Images
made
with
mens
hands
,
and
all
Rome
would
be
in
an
vprore
,
the
Pope
himself
would
be
out
of
his
wits
,
and
he
would
neuer
be
in
quiet
,
till
he
had
tormented
him
,
and
put
him
to
cruell
death
.
This
Temple
of
Panthion
in
Rome
,
is
now
called
by
the
name
of
All
halous
,
first
builded
by
Marcus
Agrippa
,
for
all
the
Idols
of
the
heathen
,
and
after
consecrated
by
Bonifacius
the
fourth
,
to
all
the
whole
company
of
Saints
,
whereby
it
appeareth
as
well
in
that
as
in
other
matters
,
that
the
Pope
hath
well
furnished
his
Church
with
many
heathenish
presidents
.

The
Citie
of
Rome
is
a
continnall
persecuter
of
the
children
of
God
.
THat
Citie
of
Rome
,
hath
beene
from
the
beginning
,
the
greatest
persecuter
that
euer
was
amongst
the
Christians
,
for
as
it
is
trueth
,
that
the
Church
of
Christ
hath
bin
there
established
,
and
that
very
faithfully
and
truely
,
so
this
is
as
certaine
,
that
before
it
could
be
so
established
,
it
was
many
yeares
in
performing
,
and
cost
the
liues
of
an
infinite
number
of
Martyrs
and
Saints
,
neither
had
it
after
any
long
continuance
,
but
that
Antichrist
began
to
creepe
in
by
little
,
&
preuailed
so
much
in
the
end
,
that
he
quite
excluding
Christ
,
hath
in
his
place
set
vp
himselfe
,
and
hath
fithence
beene
a
greater
persecuter
of
Christians
,
then
all
the
Tyrants
that
were
there
before
the
first
establishment
.
Now
if
God
were
their
father
,
then
would
they
loue
Christ
his
sonne
,
and
seeke
to
set
forth
his
glorie
:
if
they
were
of
the
sheepesold
of
God
,
then
would
they
heare
●is
voice
:
but
they
are
of
their
father
the
Diuell
,
and
the
lusts
of
their
father
they
will
doe
,
they
are
in
name
the
seruants
of
Christ
,
but
in
their
workes
they
shew
themselues
to
bee
the
members
of
Antichrist
,
they
change
peace
into
warre
,
they
tume
iudgement
into
gall
,
and
the
fruit
of
righteousnesse
into
wor●ewood
,
they
resist
the
trueth
of
God
,
to
establish
the
deuises
and
doctrine
of
men
,
they
pretend
shew
of
holinesse
,
through
the
which
they
drawe
to
themselues
credit
,
they
haue
onely
a
painted
visard
,
and
carrie
an
emptie
name
of
the
Church
:
what
is
their
wilfull
chastitie
,
but
an
obedience
condemned
in
the
scripture
,
to
giue
God
that
which
he
hath
not
giuen
vs
,
and
so
to
make
sinne
where
there
was
none
at
all
,
the
fruits
whereof
,
is
daily
corrupting
of
other
mens
wiues
,
and
to
liue
in
open
and
common
whoredome
,
with
other
abominations
,
filthy
to
be
spoken
of
.
Vnder
the
pretence
of
their
vowed
pouertie
,
they
haue
robbed
the
whole
world
of
their
wealth
and
treasure
,
not
suffering
Emperours
nor
Kings
to
liue
in
quiet
,
that
will
not
be
sworne
to
doe
them
seruice
,
&
to
vphold
their
pride
and
ambition
.
The
fruit
of
their
wilfull
obedience
,
is
to
exempt
themselues
both
from
the
lawes
of
God
and
man
,
in
so
much
that
if
any
Prince
begin
to
punish
their
disobedience
,
they
curse
him
immediately
to
the
bottomlesse
pit
of
hell
,
and
will
proclame
him
no
rightfull
King
,
setting
both
his
owne
subiects
,
and
other
nations
against
him
.

The
Popes
practises
whereby
to
deceiue
the
simple
.
THey
teach
vs
to
fly
from
Christ
,
and
worship
Saints
,
who
as
the
Papists
themselues
suppose
,
are
most
cruell
and
mercilesse
tyrants
,
wreakefull
and
vengible
,
if
their
euins
be
not
fasted
,
their
Images
visited
,
saluted
and
worshipped
with
a
pater
noster
,
with
a
candle
,
with
incense
or
other
offerings
,
in
that
place
which
they
themselues
haue
chosen
to
heare
sutors
,
with
their
supplications
and
petitions
.
They
fray
and
terrifie
vs
with
their
painfull
purgatorie
:
the
scorching
heate
whereof
is
such
,
that
it
hath
not
onely
consumed
infinit
treasure
both
of
gold
and
siluer
out
of
ignorant
mens
purses
,
but
it
hath
likewise
melted
Castles
,
buildings
,
Lands
and
tenements
innumerable
,
to
the
profit
of
Monkes
Friers
,
Canons
,
Priests
reguler
and
seculer
,
and
many
men
haue
robbed
their
heirss
,
to
giue
perpetuities
to
these
hypocrites
to
buy
perpetuall
prayre
(
but
rather
we
may
say
to
buy
perpetuall
paine
)
for
they
neuer
appoint
any
time
of
deliuerance
,
fearing
that
the
Lands
should
returne
back
againe
to
the
right
heires
.
There
be
some
that
haue
giuen
them
large
perpetuities
to
bee
prayed
for
,
of
whom
they
haue
made
saints
,
receiuing
offerings
in
their
names
,
and
teaching
other
men
to
pray
vnto
them
that
haue
giuen
great
reuenues
to
be
prayed
for
them selues
,
&
yet
the
Pope
for
monie
can
emptie
Purgatorie
when
he
will
:
but
if
a
man
should
aske
them
by
what
authoritie
the
Pope
giueth
such
pardon
,
they
answere
that
it
is
out
of
the
merits
of
Christs
passion
,
and
so
at
the
last
they
are
driuen
to
confesse
against
themselues
,
that
Christ
hath
not
onely
deserued
for
vs
the
forgiuenes
of
the
crime
,
but
also
of
the
paine
:
and
then
if
Christ
hath
deserued
all
for
vs
,
who
giueth
the
Pope
authoritie
to
reserue
a
part
of
his
deseruing
from
me
,
and
to
sell
me
Christs
merits
for
money
?
His
holynes
sends
them
to
heauen
with
Scala
Celi
,
that
is
with
a
ladder
to
scale
the
walles
of
heauen
,
for
by
the
doore
Christ
,
they
will
not
suffer
you
to
enter
,
but
they
haue
stopt
vp
that
way
,
because
they
would
haue
you
to
buy
their
scaling
ladders
.
They
refuse
the
precious
blood
of
Christ
,
making
themselues
aprons
of
Pope
▪
holy
workes
,
as
Adam
did
of
fig
leaues
to
hide
his
sinne
:
an
vniust
righteousnes
,
that
will
iustifie
it selfe
before
him
,
where
the
Angels
doe
finde
no
other
buckler
then
grace
.
And
what
are
our
workes
,
but
a
deformitie
&
filthinesse
in
the
sight
of
God
?
our
▪
sinnes
are
great
,
for
they
are
against
a
great
God
:
they
are
infinite
,
because
they
are
committed
against
him
that
is
infinite
,
and
therefore
we
may
not
thinke
to
couer
them
with
merit
,
nor
to
repaire
them
with
satisfaction
for
our
owne

we
are
able

merit

BVt
let
vs
looke
into
our
deseruing
,
or
did
wee
but
keepe
a
reckoning
of
our
life
,
how
small
a
part
thereof
doe
we
bestow
vpon
God
,
how
few
of
our
steps
we
doe
treade
in
his
trace
,
how
few
are
the
thoughts
that
we
direct
to
his
se●uice
?
Our
reason
that
should
further
vs
vnto
all
goodnes
,
it
is
in
nothing
more
vnreasonable
,
then
in
the
knowledge
of
things
belonging
vnto
God
:
and
the
b●st
vse
we
make
of
it
,
it
se●ueth
to
couer
our
naughtines
▪
and
wherein
consisteth
our
vertue
,
but
in
concealing
our
vices
?
so
that
those
that
haue
most
wit
,
haue
commonly
least
honesty
.
Thy
sences
,
to
what
other
vse
dost
thou
put
them
then
to
the
marring
of
the
sences
:
thy
tongue
,
how
much
more
ready
is
it
to
speake
euill
,
then
to
speake
good
:
if
we
doe
any
good
,
it
is
but
to
the
end
it
might
bee
seene
,
whereby
to
attaine
a
little
popular
praise
,
for
in
secret
we
will
doe
nothing
at
all
:
if
we
forbeare
to
do
euill
,
it
is
but
feare
lest
the
world
should
know
it
,
and
were
that
feare
away
,
we
would
sticke
at
nothing
.
But
let
vs
come
to
our
best
perfections
,
and
looke
into
our
prayers
and
what
are
they
but
continuall
offences
,
when
in
the
middest
of
our
greatest
vehemencie
,
our
minds
are
by
and
by
carried
away
with
one
vanitie
or
other
so
that
when
we
haue
prayed
,
we
had
then
neede
to
pray
againe
that
God
would
forgiue
vs
the
imperfections
of
our
praiers
.
Is
this
our
righteousnes
wherin
we
haue
such
trust
,
an
vnrighteous
righteousnes
,
which
will
not
acknowledge
his
good
to
come
from
God
,
&
his
euill
to
come
from
himselfe
.
The
Pharisie
abased
the
most
highest
by
lifting
vp
his
owne
merit
and
worthinesse
,
spoyling
God
of
his
dignitie
,
by
aduancing
himsslfe
,
and
Christ
rebuked
nothing
so
much
amongst
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
,
as
their
fasting
,
their
praying
,
their
washing
,
and
their
cleansing
,
wherein
consisted
the
hope
of
their
holines
,
for
in
open
sinne
,
their
is
hope
of
repentance
,
but
in
holy
hypocrisie
,
there
is
none
at
all
:
and
as
there
is
no
way
better
for
vs
to
loue
God
,
then
by
hateing
our selues
,
so
there
is
no
righteousnes
in
vs
to
bee
accounted
greater
,
then
by
confessing
our
vnrighteousnes
,
for
we
then
exalt
God
,
when
we
cast
downe
our selues

when
we
bowe
our

vnder
his

,
treading
our selues
vnder

euen
then

A
friendly
admonition
to
the
Irish
,
to
beware
of
th●se
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
that
haue
so
blinded
their
vnderstanding
,
and
abused
their
Zeale
.
S.
Paul
,
Try
all
things
,
and
keep
that
is
good
.
God
hath
giuen
you
the
spirit
of
discretion
,
be
wise
therefore
,
and
make
triall
to
know
what
is
good
:
learne
of
those
of
Berea
,
who
hearing
Paul
preach
,
made
daily
search
of
the
scriptures
whether
those
things
were
so
which
hee
had
taught
them
,
and
finding
them
to
bee
true
,
many
of
them
beleeued
:
do
you
in
like
case
make
triall
,
and
receiue
nothing
without
good
proofe
and
testimony
,
and
when
you
shall
finde
that
they
are
not
contrary
to
the
holsome
doctrine
of
the
word
of
God
,
Then
keepe
that
which
is
good
,
settle
your selues
then
,
and
be
not
caried
away
with
euery
blast
of
doctrine
.
Beleeue
not
these
Iesuites
and
Seminaries
,
that
doe
so
bestirre
themselues
amongst
you
in
Ireland
,
to
perswade
a
religion
that
cannot
abide
the
light
of
the
Scriptures
:
would
not
any
man
that
were
wise
,
suspect
him
that
would
set
a
Iewel
to
sale
,
and
would
not
suffer
the
buyer
to
looke
vpon
it
in
the
light
,
but
he
must
buy
it
in
the
darke
,
keepe
it
in
the
darke
,
weare
it
in
the
darke
,
and
neuer
bring
it
to
any
place
where
it
might
be
perfectly
seene
and
examined
?
Now
who
would
not
suspect
him
for
a
cousening
companion
,
that
would
offer
such
a
thing
?
and
can
there
be
a
greater
suspition
of
cosenage
,
then
for
men
to
offer
a
kinde
of
religion
,
that
cannot
abide
the
light
of
Gods
word
,
and
would
inforce
men
to
receiue
such
a
doctrine
as
they
might
not
examine
by
the
scriptures
,
to
see
how
it
would
stand
with
the
doctrine
of
Christ
?
who
but
cosening
wretches
would
offer
it
?
but
what
ignorance
in
those
men
that
would
receiue
it
?
Beleeue
not
euery
spirit
,
but
try
the
spirits
whether
they
are
of
God
.
At
what
time
Achab
would
not
beleeue
the
answere
which
the
Prophet
Micheas
made
him
,
there
came
forth
a
spirit
and
stoode
before
the
Lord
,
and
said
,
I
will
go
out
and
be
a
false
spirit
in
the
mouths
of
all
his
Prophets
.
Take
heede
you
bee
not
deceiued
by
any
of
these
spirits
,
which
shall
seeke
to
abuse
you
,
by
pretence
of
reuelation
,
by
visions
,
by
dreames
,
by
shew
of
holinesse
:
such
spirits
are
walking
and
daily
conuersant
amongst
vs
in
Ireland
.
Woe
be
to
you
Scribes
and
Pharises
,
hypocrites
(
saith
Christ
)
for
you
deuoure
widowes
houses
,
vnder
the
colour
of
longe
prayers
:
but
our
hypocrites
rob
not
widdowes
onely
,
but
they
spoile
married
wiues
,
&
make
hauocke
of
Esquires
,
Knights
and
Lords
:
they
spoile
all
men
,
women
and
children
,
arming
them
with
grudge
,
with
murmure
,
with
contempt
,
&
sometimes
setting
them
in
open
rebellion
against
their
Prince
.
And
who
are
the
inducers
of
these
and
many
other
mischiefes
,
but
your
Iesuites
,
your
seminaries
,
&
your
vngodly
massing
Priests
?
these
are
they
that
are
the
common
disturbers
of
the
Countries
quiet
,
that
haue
stirred
vp
and
set
on
foote
many
rebellions
:
these
are
they
that
haue
blinded
your
vnderstanding
,
abused
your
zeale
,
and
led
you
into
ignorance
vnder
A
counterfeit
pretence
of
holinesse
.
They
will
you
to
pray
,
and
they
teach
you
to
trust
in
your
prayers
,
they
bid
you
to
fast
,
they
say
you
shall
merit
by
your
fasting
:
but
be
no
longer
deceiued
,
look
into
the
fruits
of
this
prayer
and
this
fasting
,
that
they
haue
so
long
taught
,
and
wherewith
they
haue
almost
infected
the
whole
realme
of
Ireland
,
(
but
especially
in
the
most
remote
places
)
&
letting
slip
persons
of
greater
worth
)
whose
eies
I
hope
God
wil
open
to
see
their
owne
faults
)
in
beholding
other
mens
follies
,
we
will
take
but
for
our
example
,
the
base
&
barbarous
Kearne
,
the
very
drosse
and
scum
of
the
Country
,
&
yet
what
Iesuite
,
what
Seminarie
,
what
Priest
,
or
what
other
member
of
that
rascall
rabble
,
that
are
more
precise
in
their
popish
obseruations
,
more
abstinent
in
their
prescribed
fasting
daies
,
and
that
are
more
scrupulous
in
any
point
of
Poperie
then
they
bee
:
and
yet
that
very
day
,
houre
or
minute
,
when
they
will
nor
touch
any
flesh
,
butter
,
cheese
egs
,
milk
or
such
other
like
,
for
defiling
of
themselues
,
they
will
make
no
conscience
,
to
murther
,
to
kill
,
to
rob
,
to
rauish
,
to
spoile
,
or
to
commit
any
other
villany
whatsoeuer
.
You
know
this
to
be
true
:
be
not
then
any
longer
enemies
to
your
owne
discretions
,
let
these
Balam●tes
no
longer
deceiue
you
,
with
their
lies
,
with
their
visions
,
with
their
wonders
and
myracles
:
Christ
hath
prophesied
that
there
shall
many
false
Prophets
a●i●
,
&
shall
shew
signes
and
wonders
,
and
shall
deceiue
(
if
it
were
possible
)
the
very
elect
.
Many
will
say
v●to
me
n
that
day
,
Lo●d
,
ha●●
we
not
in
thy
name
prophesied
,
and
by
thy
name
cast
out
Diuels
,
and
by
thy
name
done
many
good
workes
,
and
then
will
I
professe
vnto
them
,
I
neuer
knew
you
,
depart
from
me
you
that
worke
●●iquitie
.
And
Paul
hath
long
agoe
foretold
vs
,
that
which
at
this
day
we
may
behold
with
our
eies
.
In
the
later
time
,
same
shall
giue
heede
vnto
spirits
of
errou●
:
take
heede
ther●f●re
,
and
when
thou
hearest
tell
of
visions
,
or
myracles
(
for
by
these
delusions
the
poore
people
of
Ireland
●re
most
deceiued
)
bring
them
to
the
touchstone
,
compare
them
with
the
word
of
God
,
if
thou
findest
they
intend
nothing
but
the
aduancemet
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
and
the
glorie
of
God
,
thou
maist
receiue
them
as
sent
of
God
:
if
otherwise
they
pretend
the
aduancement
of
creatures
,
or
of
superstitious
workes
or
working
,
beware
of
them
,
for
without
doubt
they
are
either
lies
or
delusions
of
the
Diuel
,
or
some
of
his
ministers
,
practising
to
deceiue
thee
:
for
open
the
Bible
,
and
in
the
very
first
lease
it
is
written
,
In
the
beginning
,
God
created
heauen
and
earth
,
and
all
that
is
contained
therein
,
immediately
excluding
all
other
Gods
made
or
deuised
by
man
,
onely
to
keepe
man
to
the
true
God
,
that
first
created
him
:
open
the
Booke
still
further
forth
at
all
aduentures
,
and
so
peruse
from
line
to
line
,
euen
to
the
latter
end
of
the
whole
booke
,
and
you
shall
meete
with
nothing
but
the
praises
of
that
God
,
or
with
fearefull
denunciations
,
thundrings
&
threatnings
against
those
that
follow
strange
Gods
,
or
giue
his
glory
to
creatures
,
stocks
,
blocks
,
or
stones
.
Let
vs
take
heede
then
and
beware
of
these
deceipts
,
we
haue
tasted
the
word
of
God
a
long
time
,
we
haue
receiued
the
comfort
of
the
gospell
,
let
vs
not
despite
it
,
or
be
wearie
of
it
,
but
let
vs
build
our selues
of
that
corner
stone
,
which
the
builders
haue
cast
off
:
let
vs
lay
our
counsels
to
the
square
of
his
truth
,
let
vs
measure
them
with
the
plummet
of
his
righteousnes
.
What
eie
would
not
behold
the
brightnes
of
that
sun
?
what
eare
would
refuse
to
heare
GOD
speake
?
Despise
not
then
the
wisedome
of
the
spirit
,
refuse
not
his
helpe
,
but
seeke
the
same
that
we
may
be
strengthened
:
let
vs
comfort
our selues
in
the
testimonies
of
our
adoption
,
let
vs
not
quench
the
light
he
hath
kindled
in
our
hearts
:
let
vs
not
slenderly
account
of
his
mercie
,
nor
abuse
the
time
of
our
saluation
.
God
giue
vs
his
holy
spirit
,
that
wee
may
discerne
the
trueth
from
falshood
,
and
know
the
blessed
and
gratious
will
of
God
:
that
we
may
feele
our
darke
and
clowdie
vnderstanding
,
which
shineth
not
,
but
as
it
pleaseth
him
to
inlighten
:
that
we
may
walke
in
his
waies
,
and
serue
him
in
reuerence
and
feare
,
all
the
daies
of
our
life
.
