MERRY
IESTES
of
Popes
,
Munkes
,
and
Friers
:
Wherein
are
discouered
the
Abuses
of
the
Pope
and
his
followers
.
The
first
Apologue
,
in
which
is
shewed
,
not
onely
that
the
Pope
may
erre
in
faith
,
but
also
what
is
the
faith
of
Popes
and
their
Prelates
.
A
Romaine
Courtier
,
in
a
certaine
conference
,
said
,
that
the
Pope
might
erre
in
faith
:
for
which
he
was
presently
apprehended
,
and
sent
vnto
prison
.
And
because
hee
was
a
man
of
great
credit
,
the
Pope
sent
one
of
his
Cardinals
to
cramine
him
;
and
hee
not
only
constantly
maintained
his
former
spéeches
,
but
also
said
againe
in
the
Cardinals
presence
:
that
the
Pope
might
erre
in
faith
;
the
Cardinall
told
him
that
hée
was
as
hereticke
to
beléeue
it
.
But
hee
answering
,
said
,
what
if
I
haue
knowne
wherein
the
Pope
did
erre
in
faith
,
shall
I
be
accounted
an
heretick
for
beleeuing
the
truth
?
wherein
(
said
the
Cardinall
)
haue
you
perceiued
that
the
Pope
did
erre
in
faith
;
Pope
Paul
(
said
he
)
on
a
time
,
as
he
was
at
dinner
,
said
in
my
hearing
,
to
many
yet
liuing
,
whom
I
can
produce
for
witnesses
,
that
he
beléeued
that
he
should
recouer
Placentia
before
he
died
,
but
yet
died
before
he
recouered
it
;
therefore
I
am
perswaded
that
he
did
erre
,
and
was
deceiued
in
faith
.
Then
the
Cardinall
answered
and
said
,
we
thought
that
you
had
spoke
of
the
faith
in
spirituall
things
;
no
(
said
the
Courtier
)
I
spoke
onely
of
faith
in
matters
of
this
world
,
for
as
touching
the
faith
in
things
which
appertaine
vnto
God
,
so
farre
am
I
from
knowing
whether
he
erre
or
not
,
that
I
am
altogether
ignorant
whether
the
Popes
,
or
you
their
Prelates
haue
any
beléefe
at
all
.
The
2.
Apologue
by
which
is
shewed
that
the
Pope
cannot
deliuer
soules
out
of
Purgatory
.
IN
the
time
of
Bourbon
,
Pope
Clement
being
affraid
,
withdrew
himself
together
with
some
of
the
Prelates
which
were
his
friends
,
into
the
Castle
of
the
Holy
Angel
,
&
being
there
as
it
were
shut
up
in
prison
,
a
Romane
Gentleman
said
;
vntill
this
time
I
haue
alwayes
beleeued
that
the
Pope
could
deliuer
soules
out
of
Purgatory
,
but
séeing
that
at
this
present
hée
cannot
deliuer
himselfe
,
and
his
deare
friends
out
of
prison
,
I
am
constrained
to
beleeue
,
that
hee
is
much
lesse
able
to
deliuer
soules
out
of
Purgatory
,
The
3.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
discouered
the
folly
of
Priests
and
Monkes
,
who
pray
vnto
God
singing
.
A
Certaine
Priest
went
vnto
Rome
so
beg
a
Benefice
which
was
void
,
and
such
good
friends
he
had
,
that
he
was
permitted
to
enter
into
the
Consistory
,
the
Pope
and
Cardinalls
being
there
assembled
,
where
deuoutly
falling
downe
vppon
his
knées
hee
began
to
demand
the
Benefice
singing
after
the
same
manner
hee
was
went
to
sing
the
Letanie
:
saying
with
a
loud
voyce
:
Most
holy
Father
,
I
humbly
craue
such
a
Benefice
,
heare
me
I
beséech
you
:
then
turning
himselfe
towards
the
Cardinalls
,
and
naming
them
one
after
another
(
singing
as
hée
did
before
)
he
said
,
Most
reuerent
Lord
(
such
a
one
)
pray
for
mee
that
I
may
obtaine
the
Benefice
,
which
I
desire
of
the
Pope
.
They
hearing
this
began
all
to
laugh
,
being
notwithstanding
very
angry
with
him
,
because
they
thought
that
hee
had
mocked
them
.
Wherefore
the
master
of
the
Ceremonies
went
vnto
him
and
reprehended
him
,
saying
,
that
hée
ought
to
aske
that
which
hée
would
haue
with
greater
reuerence
:
to
whom
he
answered
and
said
,
I
know
not
how
to
desire
a
fauour
of
the
Pope
and
Cardinals
with
greater
reuerence
and
deuotion
,
then
with
the
same
wherewith
the
Popes
(
who
as
we
hold
cannot
erre
)
haue
taught
me
to
begge
things
héedefull
for
mee
,
of
Christ
,
the
Apostles
,
and
other
Saints
.
And
because
,
when
I
would
haue
any
thing
of
Christ
,
or
of
the
Saints
,
I
pray
for
it
singing
(
as
the
Popes
haue
taught
vs
to
doe
in
the
Letanics
)
I
should
neuer
haue
imagined
that
it
had
béene
ill
to
doe
as
I
haue
done
.
At
this
they
all
laughed
,
and
granted
his
request
.
The
4.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
what
force
the
Councils
haue
,
as
also
,
vpon
what
the
Popedome
is
founded
.
POpe
Paul
on
a
time
exhorted
some
of
his
Prelates
to
study
the
holy
Scriptures
,
that
at
the
Councils
they
might
be
able
to
ouerthrow
and
confound
the
reasons
and
arguments
of
the
Lutherans
;
and
one
of
them
said
it
is
needlesse
that
we
should
take
so
much
paines
in
vaine
,
and
to
no
purpose
,
séeing
that
your
Holinesse
may
easily
,
and
with
a
few
words
annihilate
them
all
.
When
the
Pope
asked
him
by
what
meanes
&
hée
answered
,
in
not
accepting
,
but
reprouing
,
and
condemning
,
as
heresie
all
that
they
shall
say
contrary
to
your
profit
.
The
Pope
confessed
that
indéed
that
was
true
,
but
neuerthelesse
hée
thought
it
good
that
they
thence
shewed
some
reasons
which
moued
him
therevnto
,
as
also
that
the
Popedome
and
doctrine
thereof
had
good
foundation
.
It
is
not
best
for
vs
(
said
the
Prelate
)
to
read
the
Scriptures
to
that
purpose
,
for
they
are
contrary
vnto
vs
;
but
wee
must
betake
our selues
to
your
and
our
decrees
.
Decretals
,
and
extrauagants
:
then
the
Pope
answered
and
said
,
although
nothing
may
be
directly
had
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
yet
it
is
,
good
to
study
them
,
that
when
néed
shall
require
,
we
may
be
able
to
cauill
,
and
wrest
them
to
our
purpose
,
and
phantasie
.
The
5.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
that
Simonie
is
a
sinfull
thing
,
and
whose
successours
the
Popes
Prelates
are
.
A
Certaine
Romane
made
his
confession
(
of
some
matters
which
must
not
be
spoken
of
)
to
a
Confessor
in
the
Temple
of
S.
Peter
in
Rome
;
but
the
Confessor
would
not
absolue
him
,
vnlesse
hée
would
giue
him
ten
Crownes
:
wherefore
the
Romane
said
,
Gratis
accepistis
gratis
date
,
fréely
you
haue
receiued
,
fréely
giue
.
To
this
the
Confessor
answered
he
lies
in
his
throat
,
who
either
saith
,
or
will
say
these
words
:
for
I
had
not
this
office
gratis
,
but
I
bought
it
,
and
it
cost
me
more
then
an
hundred
Crownes
.
Then
the
Romane
said
,
do
you
not
know
that
these
are
the
wordes
of
Iesus
Christ
,
will
you
say
that
Christ
doth
lye
?
To
this
the
Confessor
answered
,
although
these
words
are
his
,
hee
spoke
them
not
to
vs
,
for
wée
can
at
no
time
haue
of
the
Pope
the
least
office
,
Benefice
,
or
fauour
that
is
without
mony
:
wherefore
you
must
adresse
your selues
to
the
Apostles
,
to
whom
Christ
spake
these
words
.
It
is
true
said
the
Roman
,
he
spake
to
them
indéed
,
but
he
also
meant
thereby
all
that
should
succéed
them
:
If
it
be
so
(
said
the
Confessor
)
wée
are
not
the
Apostles
successors
,
but
theirs
who
bought
and
sold
in
the
Temple
.
The
6.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
discouered
the
folly
of
those
who
beleeue
in
Reliques
and
worship
them
.
A
Priest
of
Geneua
moued
with
deuotion
,
trauelled
to
visit
certaine
holy
places
,
and
after
a
time
returned
home
againe
,
but
with
much
lesse
deuotion
then
hée
had
before
,
and
with
his
purse
quite
empty
.
And
being
asked
of
many
where
the
Reliques
were
which
hée
had
brought
to
regaine
the
mony
which
hée
had
spent
in
his
iourney
?
after
a
little
deliberation
he
answered
,
that
he
had
brought
two
most
excellent
and
most
holy
Reliques
:
and
began
to
tell
of
them
(
but
secretly
)
to
his
friends
,
intreating
them
that
they
would
not
speake
openly
of
them
,
for
feare
least
they
should
be
taken
from
him
by
the
Signeurie
,
withall
promising
them
that
if
they
would
be
secret
,
he
would
impart
the
sight
of
them
,
so
that
they
would
make
him
some
contribution
towards
his
great
expences
in
procuring
them
;
finally
many
being
desirous
to
see
them
gaue
him
money
:
and
then
he
(
hauing
before
ordered
his
busines
)
drew
forth
a
piece
of
silke
,
a
goodly
paire
of
Dreshornes
,
and
holding
them
vp
,
said
vnto
the
people
,
that
hée
had
brought
them
from
mount
Sina
,
and
that
they
were
the
hornes
wherewith
Moyses
descended
from
thence
,
after
hée
had
ended
his
spéeches
with
God
.
Then
taking
a
viol
in
his
hand
,
he
said
that
therein
was
contained
the
breath
of
Iesus
Christ
reserued
by
his
mother
when
hée
was
a
little
one
;
and
that
hée
had
now
brought
it
from
Bethleem
:
Hée
had
no
sooner
finished
these
things
,
but
all
the
Citty
was
full
of
the
newes
,
so
that
he
was
presently
called
before
the
Seigneury
&
demanded
whether
it
were
true
that
hée
had
brought
with
him
Moyses
hornes
,
and
the
breath
of
Christ
?
and
hée
answered
that
it
was
true
:
then
they
asked
him
if
he
were
not
ashamed
to
make
men
worship
a
paire
of
hornes
:
If
you
(
said
the
Priest
)
are
not
ashamed
to
make
men
worship
and
fall
downe
before
the
taile
of
the
Asse
on
which
Christ
rode
on
Palme
Sunday
;
Ought
I
to
thinke
it
a
shame
to
make
men
worship
these
glorious
hornes
of
Moyses
?
&
dost
thou
beléeue
(
said
one
of
the
Seigneurie
that
these
are
the
very
hornes
of
Moyses
,
and
that
in
this
viol
there
is
the
very
breath
of
Iesus
Christ
Then
he
answered
and
said
I
doe
as
verily
beléeue
that
in
this
viol
is
the
breath
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
that
these
are
the
hornes
of
Moyses
;
as
I
beléeue
that
to
be
the
milka
of
the
Uirgin
Mary
,
which
is
in
your
viols
,
which
you
say
is
hers
,
making
men
reuerence
and
worship
it
as
an
holy
Relique
.
When
hee
had
:
thus
said
,
they
let
him
goe

The
7.
Apologue
,
in
which
is
shewed
the
folly
of
many
,
who
laugh
when
they
should
weepe
,
and
weepe
when
they
should
laugh
.
POpe
Iulius
the
third
,
on
the
day
of
his
coronation
,
made
a
great
feast
,
especially
for
the
Ladies
of
S.
Peters
Palace
;
amongst
which
there
was
one
who
said
,
wee
women
are
the
veriest
fooles
in
the
world
,
and
being
asked
why
?
she
answered
,
because
when
Iesus
Christ
went
to
be
crucified
,
hee
went
to
his
soueraigne
tryumph
ouer
sinne
,
death
,
and
hell
,
to
the
great
glory
of
his
heauenly
father
,
and
to
our
saluation
,
and
perfect
happinesse
,
and
then
we
wept
,
and
made
great
lamentation
:
but
now
on
the
contrary
at
this
mans
coronation
,
whence
will
procéede
the
great
dishonour
of
God
,
and
the
certaine
ruine
and
destruction
of
many
Christian
soules
,
we
passe
the
time
in
feasts
and
merriment
,
The
8
Apologue
,
in
which
is
shewed
plainly
that
there
is
no
Purgatory
.
THere
was
in
Rome
an
excellent
and
learned
preacher
;
of
whom
Pope
Paul
the
third
(
as
of
one
in
whom
hee
put
great
confidence
)
demaunded
on
a
time
secretly
,
whether
he
did
belieue
that
the
Pope
had
(
as
men
said
)
so
great
power
and
authority
ouer
Purgatory
that
hee
could
thence
set
at
liberty
all
the
soules
therein
,
and
cause
that
none
should
euer
come
thither
againe
?
but
the
preacher
durst
not
bouldly
speake
his
minde
herein
,
and
would
by
no
meanes
say
any
thinge
against
his
owne
conscience
,
and
therefore
remained
in
doubt
.
Wherefore
the
Pope
(
perceiuing
it
)
gaue
him
incouragement
,
saying
that
he
would
haue
him
speake
his
mind
freely
,
without
feare
,
or
rather
respect
.
Then
seeing
that
the
Pope
desired
to
knowe
the
truth
,
hee
answered
that
he
had
no
power
at
all
ouer
Purgatory
.
Againe
(
perceiuing
that
the
Pope
did
greatly
wonder
at
his
words
)
he
said
thus
vnto
him
;
Holy
Father
,
had
your
Predecessors
as
great
power
and
authority
as
you
,
or
had
they
lesse
?
the
Pope
made
answer
that
it
was
equall
to
his
:
then
(
replied
the
Preacher
)
if
they
had
as
great
power
as
you
,
and
by
the
same
were
able
at
any
time
to
empty
Purgatory
,
as
you
suppose
your selfe
able
to
doe
,
it
is
fit
we
belieue
that
among
so
many
Popes
,
some
one
was
found
so
ful
of
charity
to
free
al
soules
thence
for
euer
.
The
Pope
answered
that
he
could
not
tell
that
.
But
(
said
the
Preacher
)
I
know
this
well
,
that
Iesus
Christ
the
Soueraigne
Priest
,
hath
of
himselfe
infinite
charity
and
power
;
and
seeing
that
with
his
owne
proper
blood
he
hath
truely
and
for
euer
purged
the
soules
of
his
elect
,
what
need
haue
they
of
any
other
purgation
?
wherefore
I
know
not
what
that
power
is
,
whereof
you
brag
and
boast
so
much
.
The
9.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
great
ambition
of
the
Popes
Prelates
,
&
the
meanes
they
haue
to
come
vnto
dignity
.
POpe
Paul
the
third
,
being
asked
of
his
kinsmen
by
what
meanes
hee
did
ascend
to
the
Papall
dignity
?
answered
and
saide
,
wee
came
vnto
it
by
shewing
that
by
the
course
of
nature
our
time
in
this
life
could
be
but
short
,
and
that
we
with
patience
had
long
expected
it
;
by
exquisit
practises
,
by
liberall
promises
,
by
bragging
what
great
friendes
wee
had
to
terrifie
the
Cardinalls
if
they
did
not
elect
vs
to
be
Pope
:
and
finally
by
subtill
sleights
,
and
a
large
conscience
.
The
10.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
in
part
discouered
the
auarice
and
superstition
of
the
Priests
and
Monkes
.
A
Rich
Seigneur
of
Paris
,
being
very
sicke
the
thiefe
of
all
the
Religious
in
the
citie
went
at
seuerall
times
to
visite
him
,
more
indéede
respecting
the
guiftes
and
rewards
they
hoped
for
at
his
hands
,
then
his
soules
safety
.
And
the
Cordeliers
exhorted
him
to
call
vpon
and
put
his
trust
in
S.
Francis
,
the
Iacobins
in
S.
Dominicke
:
and
the
other
in
those
Saints
of
whose
order
they
were
Monks
The
Priest
likewise
exhorted
him
that
hee
would
commend
himselfe
into
the
hands
of
S.
Peter
,
or
of
the
Saint
to
whom
their
Church
was
didicated
.
The
Noble
man
perceiuing
this
diuersity
▪
caused
them
all
to
be
sent
for
,
and
to
be
assembled
into
his
Chamber
,
and
then
said
thus
vnto
them
.
When
I
first
fell
sicke
,
I
caused
all
the
Phisitians
in
the
City
to
come
vnto
mée
:
and
they
could
not
agrée
among
themselues
to
giue
me
a
medicine
,
because
that
euery
one
of
them
,
to
séeme
more
learned
then
the
rest
,
reproued
all
that
the
other
would
haue
giuen
mée
,
&
counselled
mee
to
take
that
which
he
would
administer
vnto
mee
.
Therefore
calling
them
togither
,
I
said
vnto
them
,
euery
one
of
you
would
haue
me
take
the
Phisicke
which
he
hath
ordained
for
mée
,
now
if
I
should
take
all
,
they
would
bring
my
body
into
worse
estate
then
it
is
already
if
not
kill
mée
,
and
if
I
should
resolue
to
take
but
one
,
I
know
not
which
to
choose
:
wherefore
you
shall
goe
into
this
next
chamber
,
from
whence
you
shall
not
come
,
vntill
you
doe
agrée
to
giue
me
a
medicine
approued
of
you
all
to
be
the
best
;
then
the
Phisitians
,
knowing
that
long
fasting
would
bring
danger
to
their
owne
bodies
,
did
quickely
consent
and
brought
me
physicke
;
assuring
mee
that
it
was
farre
better
,
and
more
agreable
to
my
maladie
then
any
they
would
before
haue
giuen
mée
.
Now
in
like
manner
,
you
being
come
to
medicine
my
soule
,
are
different
among
your selues
;
for
euery
one
of
you
doth
exhort
me
to
call
vpon
such
a
Saint
,
and
I
,
by
reason
of
my
great
sicknes
and
debelity
of
body
,
am
not
able
to
make
prayers
perticulerly
to
so
many
.
Therefore
goe
you
into
the
Phisitians
Chamber
,
and
assure
your selues
that
yée
shall
not
come
forth
thence
vntill
you
tell
mee
all
with
one
accord
,
to
whom
especially
and
onely
I
ought
to
commend
my selfe
for
my
soules
safety
.
Then
the
Priests
,
and
Monkes
,
perceiuing
themselues
likely
to
fall
into
two
inconueniences
,
that
they
must
either
yéeld
one
to
another
,
which
they
would
by
no
meanes
doe
,
or
else
be
opressed
with
hunger
,
which
their
gluttonous
paunches
could
not
endure
,
found
out
a
third
way
to
auoid
both
;
which
was
,
that
seeing
none
of
them
had
made
mention
of
Iesus
Christ
,
they
would
exhort
the
sicke
man
to
commend
himselfe
to
him
aloane
.
Which
when
they
had
done
,
the
noble
man
demanded
of
them
,
whether
they
all
iudged
it
much
better
for
him
to
commend
himselfe
into
the
hands
of
Iesus
Christ
,
then
of
any
of
the
Saints
?
and
they
all
answered
that
it
was
better
.
If
you
are
so
perswaded
(
said
hée
)
why
had
you
not
said
as
much
at
the
beginning
?
Is
it
possible
that
(
when
you
exhorted
mee
to
call
vpon
your
Saints
)
you
should
be
so
ignorant
,
that
you
knew
,
it
not
more
expedient
for
mée
that
I
commended
my selfe
wholly
and
onely
to
Iesus
Christ
?
Get
yée
hence
,
get
yée
hence
,
you
are
a
company
of
murderers
,
théeues
,
and
wicked
fellows
,
fraughted
with
auarice
,
lying
and
hypocrisie
:
and
so
with
great
disgrace
,
hee
commanded
them
to
be
thrust
out
at
the
doores
.
The
11.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
that
the
Pope
ought
not
to
be
Bishop
of
Rome
.
POpe
Iulius
the
third
on
a
day
wrote
vnto
the
Emperour
,
intreating
him
that
hee
would
be
content
to
make
a
King
of
Naples
in
Italy
,
a
king
of
Cicelie
,
and
a
Duke
of
Milan
,
on
this
condition
that
they
should
do
homage
and
pay
trybute
to
his
Maiesty
:
aleaging
this
reason
,
that
he
was
Emperour
and
King
of
Kings
,
and
therefore
ought
not
to
be
besides
a
particuler
King
,
and
Duke
also
.
To
this
Caesar
answered
,
that
he
was
content
to
doe
so
,
if
that
hée
in
like
manner
would
resigne
the
Bishopricke
of
Rome
to
another
,
the
which
,
by
his
owne
reason
hee
ought
to
doe
,
contenting
himselfe
to
be
Pope
,
and
uniuersal
Bishop
of
Bishops
(
as
he
himselfe
said
he
was
)
and
not
to
be
the
particuler
Bishop
of
Rome
also
.
But
hee
was
assured
that
the
Pope
would
neuer
yeeld
thereto
,
knowing
well
,
that
if
he
left
off
to
be
Bishop
of
Roome
,
the
world
would
no
more
hould
him
to
be
Pope
,
and
Soueraigne
ouer
them
as
now
it
did
being
abused
by
his
greatnesse
.
The
12.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
superstition
of
some
of
the
commaundements
of
the
Pope
.
THere
was
a
Bishop
of
Denmarke
,
who
because
he
dwelt
farre
from
Rome
,
and
that
diuers
occasions
might
happen
in
his
Bishoprick
to
cause
him
to
send
to
the
Pope
;
did
for
a
thousand
crownes
buy
the
Popes
whole
authority
,
with
this
prouiso
,
that
hee
should
vse
the
farce
no
farther
then
the
precincts
of
his
owne
Dicresse
:
notwithstanding
he
so
behaued
himselfe
:
that
complaints
of
him
were
brought
vnto
Rome
,
so
that
the
Pope
cited
him
to
make
his
personall
appearance
before
him
,
and
the
Bishop
at
the
day
appointed
was
present
.
Now
because
that
hee
was
a
man
of
great
authority
,
the
Pope
held
the
Articles
whereof
hee
was
accused
in
his
owne
hands
,
and
examined
him
before
all
the
Prelates
,
saying
,
wee
haue
vnderstood
that
you
haue
charged
your
people
with
many
new
fasts
ordained
by
you
,
as
if
ours
were
not
sufficient
,
but
that
you
must
supply
our
imperfections
:
and
you
(
said
the
Bishop
)
haue
grieued
the
poeple
with
fasts
ordained
by
you
,
as
if
that
the
temperance
and
sobriety
giuen
vnto
men
by
God
were
not
sufficient
,
but
vnperfect
,
vnlesse
you
added
somthing
thereunto
.
Againe
said
the
Pope
,
wee
gaue
you
our
authority
,
to
the
end
that
you
should
make
men
obserue
our
ordinances
,
and
not
to
forge
a
new
Christianity
:
so
(
said
the
Bishop
)
Iesus
Christ
hath
giuen
his
authority
vnto
you
▪
to
this
end
and
purpose
,
that
you
should
cause
men
to
keepe
his
commaundements
,
and
not
by
adding
yours
thereunto
,
to
make
a
new
Christian
religion
.
We
should
haue
liked
it
well
(
said
the
Pope
)
if
for
the
good
of
your
Church
,
you
had
made
any
statute
or
ordinance
,
so
that
you
had
not
also
made
the
breach
thereof
a
mortall
sinne
,
but
you
haue
obliged
the
people
thereunto
vpon
paine
of
eternall
death
,
and
which
is
more
,
haue
more
seuerely
punished
the
transgressors
of
your
commaundements
then
the
transgressours
of
ours
.
In
like
manner
(
said
the
Bishop
)
if
you
had
ordained
any
indifferent
thing
for
the
commodity
of
your
Church
,
and
not
tyed
men
to
the
keeping
thereof
vnder
paine
of
damnation
,
it
had
not
béene
displeasing
to
God
:
but
you
on
the
contrary
haue
decréed
that
whosoeuer
will
not
obserue
your
commandements
,
shall
goe
to
hell
;
and
doe
inflict
more
grieuous
punnishment
on
those
which
transgresse
your
ordinances
,
then
on
those
which
break
the
commaundements
of
God
;
wherefore
I
haue
followed
you
,
as
your
good
and
obedient
sonne
.
Then
the
Pope
said
againe
vnto
him
,
but
wherefore
haue
you
commaunded
,
that
in
your
fasts
the
people
shall
drinke
but
once
?
If
you
(
said
the
Bishop
)
haue
ordained
,
that
in
your
fasts
men
shall
eate
but
once
;
why
may
not
I
hauing
all
your
authority
(
so
that
I
can
by
no
meanes
erre
)
commaund
that
they
drinke
but
once
in
mine
?
but
were
it
not
much
better
(
said
the
Pope
)
that
they
dranke
thrée
or
fower
times
,
rather
then
poure
down
so
much
at
once
to
make
their
eies
stare
,
and
their
bellies
cracke
againe
?
So
(
said
the
Bishop
)
they
who
eate
but
once
in
your
fasts
doe
so
gorge
themselues
that
their
bellies
are
euen
ready
to
breake
,
and
were
it
not
much
more
profitable
for
the
health
of
their
bodies
,
if
they
made
thrée
or
foure
moderate
repasts
of
that
which
they
gourmundize
at
once
?
But
what
folly
is
it
of
you
(
said
the
Pope
)
that
in
your
fasts
you
haue
wholly
denied
bread
?
what
would
you
haue
them
eate
?
And
what
I
pray
you
(
said
the
Bishop
)
hath
mooued
you
to
forbid
the
vse
of
flesh
,
and
egges
,
and
milke
in
your
fasts
?
what
would
you
haue
them
eate
in
those
dayes
?
Other
things
(
said
the
Pope
)
ordained
for
their
sustenance
;
men
may
likewise
liue
without
bread
(
said
the
Bishop
.
)
But
if
néede
bée
(
said
the
Pope
)
I
permit
the
vse
of
flesh
,
so
they
pay
me
for
it
.
So
I
(
said
the
Bishop
)
suffer
my
people
to
eate
bread
if
they
will
buy
a
licence
of
mée
.
But
bread
(
said
the
Pope
is
a
creature
ordained
by
God
for
the
sustenance
of
mans
life
;
so
(
replied
the
Bishop
)
is
flesh
created
of
God
for
the
benefite
of
men
,
yet
you
notwithstanding
haue
forbidden
it
.
The
Pope
was
now
at
the
end
of
his
roule
,
and
for
a
conclusion
added
this
.
There
is
one
thinge
more
,
which
indeed
hath
offended
vs
more
then
all
the
rest
,
which
is
,
that
when
any
of
your
subiects
being
grieued
by
your
strange
ordinance
,
doe
flye
vnto
vs
for
succour
and
refuge
,
you
confiscate
all
their
goods
,
yea
and
put
them
to
death
also
,
if
they
fall
into
your
hands
.
That
also
(
said
the
Bishop
)
I
learned
of
you
Holy
Father
;
for
if
any
one
oppressed
by
your
intolerable
impositōs
,
haue
recourse
to
God
,
hoping
through
faith
only
to
obtaine
remission
of
his
sinnes
;
you
cause
him
to
be
burned
,
because
he
did
not
beg
absolution
of
the
Priests
and
Monkes
by
you
ordained
;
accounting
him
an
heritique
,
who
puts
all
his
trust
in
God
onely
through
Iesus
Christ
his
welbeloued
sonne
,
our
onely
sauiour
and
aduorate
.
Well
to
conclude
,
the
Pope
would
haue
punished
him
,
but
that
the
Bishop
shewed
he
could
not
doe
it
,
but
hee
must
much
condemne
himselfe
thereby
,
and
greatly
derogate
from
his
authority
,
for
(
said
hee
)
séeing
I
haue
done
nothing
,
but
I
did
it
as
I
was
Pope
,
and
by
the
authority
which
you
haue
giuen
mee
,
if
you
punnish
mée
,
it
will
follow
,
that
the
Pope
as
hee
is
Pope
may
erre
,
and
by
consequence
the
Popdome
will
loose
much
of
its
credit
and
reputation
.
The
Pope
was
aduised
that
hee
spake
the
truth
.
Wherefore
he
commanded
him
to
renounce
his
presentment
to
the
Popdome
,
and
to
resigne
his
authority
,
which
he
would
not
do
,
aleadging
that
the
Popdome
was
his
,
for
he
had
well
bought
it
,
then
the
Pope
offered
to
restore
his
thousand
crownes
,
which
hee
paid
for
it
:
but
the
Bishop
would
not
accept
of
them
,
both
by
reason
of
the
great
gaines
he
made
thereof
,
as
also
for
the
great
honour
he
receiued
thereby
.
Finally
,
the
Pope
séeing
no
remedy
,
did
earnestly
intreat
him
,
that
he
would
gouerne
himselfe
so
wisely
in
his
affaires
,
that
no
tumult
or
controuersie
might
thence
arise
▪
and
so
after
great
feasting
,
with
many
kinde
and
friendly
farewels
,
hée
sent
him
backe
againe
into
his
owne
countrey
.
The
13.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
shewed
the
originall
of
the
Popedome
.
AS
some
were
talking
of
the
controuersies
betwixt
the
Lutherans
and
the
Pope
:
one
said
that
at
the
Councell
of
Trent
the
Lutherans
would
sure
ruinate
the
Popedome
,
for
they
would
shew
plainly
that
there
was
neuer
any
Bishoppe
of
Rome
rightly
Pope
,
and
proue
not
onely
by
histories
,
but
also
by
the
holy
Scriptures
,
that
S.
Peter
was
neuer
at
Rome
,
and
therefore
could
not
leaue
the
Popedome
to
the
Bishops
of
Rome
,
which
Iesus
Christ
(
if
men
will
belieue
it
)
left
vnto
him
:
but
another
answered
him
,
and
said
,
if
they
haue
no
other
reasons
,
they
can
neuer
bring
their
enterprise
to
passe
,
for
to
ouerthrow
the
Popdome
they
must
prooue
,
not
that
S.
Peter
was
neuer
at
Rome
,
but
rather
that
the
great
Diuell
of
hell
was
neuer
there
:
and
then
it
will
necessarily
follow
,
that
no
Bishop
of
Rome
was
Pope
,
seeing
that
,
not
S.
Peter
,
but
the
Diuell
brought
the
Popedome
thither
:
now
because
they
shall
neuer
be
able
to
prooue
that
the
Diuell
hath
not
beene
at
Rome
,
which
is
the
chiefe
and
principall
Citty
where
the
Diuell
keepes
his
residence
,
it
followes
that
by
this
meanes
,
they
cannot
ruinate
the
Popedome
.
The
14.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
that
the
Pope
as
Pope
,
may
erre
.
IT
happened
on
a
time
as
Pope
Clement
was
at
dinner
,
that
certaine
of
the
Monks
disputed
in
his
presence
,
whether
the
Pope
might
erre
or
no
?
and
after
long
disputations
they
concluded
that
he
might
erre
as
he
was
man
,
but
not
as
Pope
;
and
the
Pope
giuing
eare
vnto
them
said
,
you
are
dissembling
flatterers
,
for
we
erre
dayly
in
many
things
,
&
neuerthelesse
we
are
Pope
still
.
Then
one
of
them
answering
said
,
that
when
he
erred
it
was
as
hee
was
man
,
and
not
as
Pope
;
to
whom
the
Pope
replied
thus
:
when
we
bestow
Bishoprickes
,
it
is
certaine
that
wée
doe
it
as
Pope
,
and
yet
therein
we
often
erre
in
conferring
them
on
wicked
persons
,
estéeming
them
to
bee
honest
men
.
To
this
the
Monks
knew
not
what
to
answere
hauing
not
onely
the
truth
,
but
also
the
Pope
himselfe
against
them
.
The
15.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
that
the
Pope
ought
not
to
haue
dominion
in
the
temporall
estate
.
THe
Emperor
on
a
time
demanded
of
Pope
Paul
,
whether
the
same
man
might
lawfully
be
both
Pope
and
Emperor
?
The
Pope
fearing
least
that
the
Emperor
(
who
was
then
without
a
wife
)
would
make
himselfe
Pope
also
,
said
that
it
could
not
bee
,
alleadging
many
reasons
for
it
,
especially
this
,
that
a
man
could
not
at
the
same
time
well
gouerne
things
spiritual
,
and
temporall
both
.
Then
the
Emperor
said
,
and
why
then
will
you
be
both
Pope
and
Emperor
,
and
in
signe
thereof
not
onely
vse
the
Miter
as
Pope
,
but
also
the
Imperiall
Diadem
as
Emperor
?
Leaue
off
therefore
(
as
it
is
fit
,
the
Dominion
,
and
gouernment
of
the
temporall
estate
,
and
let
it
suffice
you
to
be
Pope
:
this
if
you
will
doe
of
your
owne
accord
,
I
shall
take
it
kindly
,
and
inrich
and
exalt
your
kindred
to
great
dignity
;
and
the
succeeding
Popes
shall
be
so
weake
,
that
they
shall
not
bee
able
to
hurt
them
;
but
if
you
will
not
doe
it
in
kindnesse
,
we
shall
be
constrained
to
make
you
do
it
by
force
.
The
Pope
understanding
this
purposed
to
giue
his
sonne
Peter
Loys
all
the
lands
of
the
Church
,
and
was
about
to
giue
him
Parma
and
Placentia
,
but
his
enterprize
was
hindred
both
by
the
Councell
,
as
also
by
the
losse
of
Placentia
,
and
the
death
of
his
sonne
,
but
especially
by
his
own
death
,
so
that
he
could
not
reuenge
himselfe
of
the
Emperor
as
he
had
determined
.
The
16
Apologue
,
by
which
is
discouered
the
excessiue
pride
and
folly
of
the
Popes
.
CErtaine
men
were
talking
of
Princes
,
Kings
and
Emperors
,
and
one
of
them
said
,
that
their
greatnes
did
cause
that
many
were
found
amongst
them
so
proud
,
that
they
did
forget
themselues
to
bee
but
men
,
and
so
made
their
folly
knowne
vnto
the
world
;
but
I
pray
you
,
said
another
of
the
company
,
was
euer
any
of
them
knowne
so
proud
and
deneid
of
wit
,
and
discretion
,
that
they
perswaded
themselues
,
that
they
were
Gods
,
as
the
Popes
estéeme
themselues
to
bée
.
The
17.
Apologue
,
in
which
is
shewed
the
vanity
and
folly
of
those
which
place
their
Daughters
in
Monasteries
.
THere
was
a
Gentleman
of
Sienes
,
who
(
bring
not
able
to
giue
a
great
dowry
with
his
daughter
)
was
determined
to
place
her
in
a
Monastery
;
and
first
communicating
his
purpose
with
a
friend
of
his
,
he
said
,
I
would
willingly
marry
my
daughter
,
but
without
the
utter
ruine
of
my
estate
,
I
am
not
able
to
disburse
a
thousand
Florins
,
and
therefore
I
am
determined
to
place
her
in
a
Monastery
.
But
his
friend
said
vnto
him
,
you
shall
spend
much
more
in
making
her
a
Nunne
;
for
first
you
must
pay
to
the
Monastery
two
hundreth
Florins
for
her
dowry
,
and
afterward
you
shall
spend
so
much
in
habites
,
surplices
,
mochouirs
,
vailes
,
Images
of
our
Lady
,
ornaments
of
her
Chamber
,
with
many
other
curiosities
,
&
which
is
more
in
a
sumptuous
Banquet
first
when
she
is
inuested
,
secondly
when
she
professeth
,
that
you
shall
find
no
end
;
wherefore
all
being
well
considered
,
you
shall
,
find
that
with
much
lesse
damage
to
your
estate
,
you
may
marry
your
Daughter
to
some
honest
man
,
according
to
the
ordinance
of
God
,
then
contrary
to
the
same
,
prostitute
and
abandon
her
to
those
adultrous
Monkes
,
who
burne
continually
with
the
fire
of
concupiscence
as
they
well
deserue
:
because
they
vow
chastity
which
is
not
in
their
power
,
and
contemme
the
remedy
which
God
of
his
grace
hath
giuen
to
the
humane
kinde
against
this
concupiscence
,
which
is
the
holy
marriage
instituted
of
God
in
Paradice
,
and
honored
by
the
presence
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
in
Cana
of
Galilee
,
where
he
did
his
first
miracle
.
This
counsell
so
well
pleased
the
Gentleman
that
he
resolued
to
marry
his
daughter
.
The
18.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
vs
what
commonly
is
the
pride
of
the
Pope
,
and
faith
of
his
Prelates
.
A
Cardinall
being
sicke
,
and
likely
to
dye
,
made
his
confession
;
and
his
Confessor
amongst
other
things
demanded
of
him
whether
he
had
worshipped
one
God
alone
?
And
he
answered
and
said
,
knowing
wel
that
I
ought
to
worship
but
one
God
and
one
Christ
;
and
seeing
that
the
Pope
is
God
and
Christ
on
earth
,
for
feare
least
I
should
worship
two
Gods
and
two
Christs
,
I
haue
abandoned
the
inuisible
God
in
heauen
,
and
in
his
stead
haue
adored
the
visible
God
on
earth
,
and
therefore
haue
alwayes
worshiped
the
Pope
as
my
God
and
Christ
,
and
on
him
haue
grounded
all
my
faith
and
hope
,
him
haue
I
honored
,
loued
,
feared
,
praised
,
magnified
and
glorified
as
my
God
.
Then
the
Confessor
said
that
there
was
but
one
God
and
one
Christ
,
and
that
the
Pope
was
neither
God
nor
Christ
:
although
indéed
the
abused
world
did
accompt
him
as
his
Vicar
.
When
he
had
thus
spoken
the
Cardinall
cryed
out
vpon
him
,
and
said
thou
art
a
foole
and
a
very
hereticke
too
,
if
thou
beléeuest
that
the
Pope
is
Christs
Vicar
on
earth
,
for
then
it
would
necessarily
follow
that
Iesus
Christ
were
greater
then
the
Pope
;
but
on
the
contrary
I
would
thou
shouldst
well
know
,
that
if
Iesus
Christ
should
come
visibly
to
Rome
,
the
Pope
would
not
entertaine
him
,
if
hee
did
not
first
humble
himselfe
before
him
,
acknowledgeing
him
to
bee
his
superior
,
yea
and
also
kisse
his
Pantosle
.
The
19.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
great
men
of
the
world
,
what
they
ought
to
doe
.
A
Cerretan
,
or
seller
of
pardons
,
ariued
at
a
citty
,
with
authority
to
deliuer
soules
out
of
Purgatory
,
and
many
went
vnto
him
to
obtaine
this
deliuerance
.
Wherefore
the
Gouernour
of
the
Citty
communded
him
to
shew
his
buls
,
and
when
he
perceiued
by
them
that
he
had
all
the
power
of
the
Pope
,
hee
,
demaunded
of
him
how
many
soules
hee
could
deliuer
out
of
Purgatory
?
The
Cerretan
answered
,
that
the
power
of
the
Pope
(
which
he
had
)
was
infinite
,
and
that
by
the
same
he
could
deliuer
as
many
soules
as
were
in
Purgatory
,
although
they
were
in
number
infinite
:
and
moreouer
,
that
hee
could
preserue
all
from
comming
thither
,
which
should
at
any
time
deserue
to
bee
tormented
there
.
Then
the
Gouernour
said
vnto
him
,
for
how
many
crownes
wilt
thou
deliuer
all
the
soules
of
those
which
either
are
dead
or
shhall
hereafter
die
within
my
Iurisdiction
?
And
bée
demaunded
two
hundred
crownes
,
(
contenting
himselfe
to
gaine
foure
hundred
by
the
bargaine
,
for
the
odde
hundred
he
had
disbursed
for
the
buls
,
and
authority
which
he
had
bought
of
the
Pope
)
the
Gouernour
was
contented
with
the
price
and
paid
him
the
money
,
and
caused
him
to
make
a
publike
and
authentike
acknowledgement
of
the
sale
.
Then
presently
he
let
the
Priests
and
Monkes
which
were
his
subiects
vnderstand
how
the
matter
went
:
aduertising
them
that
they
should
no
more
take
paines
to
read
their
Breuíere
,
nor
to
say
Masses
and
prayers
for
those
which
either
were
dead
or
should
at
any
time
dye
within
his
liberties
:
but
that
they
should
praye
onely
for
the
liuing
,
or
if
they
would
pray
for
the
dead
,
that
they
should
pray
for
those
only
which
died
out
of
his
dominions
,
(
but
thee
knew
well
enough
that
they
would
pray
for
none
but
those
they
were
paid
for
.
)
Then
hee
caused
the
yearely
donatiues
and
guifts
which
his
Subiects
had
subiects
had
bestowed
for
saying
of
Masses
,
and
Seruices
for
the
dead
to
be
brought
vnto
him
,
and
therwithall
(
conuerting
it
to
a
good
vse
)
hee
built
an
Hospitall
for
the
poore
and
maintained
a
great
number
therein
for
the
reuenewes
were
very
great
.
The
20.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
the
folly
of
them
who
beleeue
that
the
Councells
cannot
erre
.
CErtaine
Iudges
on
a
day
went
and
visited
their
Bishop
,
and
finding
him
very
busie
in
the
study
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
they
demanded
of
him
why
he
did
so
trouble
and
weary
himselfe
with
study
?
Because
said
he
,
I
must
goe
to
the
Councell
of
Trent
,
where
wee
must
iudge
not
of
things
which
concerne
the
goods
,
life
,
and
honor
of
men
,
as
you
do
in
your
iudgements
,
but
of
things
which
concerne
the
safety
of
mens
soules
.
You
are
unwise
(
said
the
Iudges
vnto
him
)
to
study
for
that
purpose
,
séeing
that
when
you
are
at
the
Councell
,
you
cannot
erre
in
your
determinations
;
(
for
the
Councells
cannot
erre
.
)
If
that
wee
temporall
Iudges
were
as
sure
that
wee
could
not
erre
in
our
iudgements
,
wee
would
neuer
study
the
lawes
,
then
the
Bishop
said
vnto
them
.
Ye
say
true
indéed
,
and
for
that
cause
many
of
vs
Bishops
who
come
to
the
Councels
are
very
ignorant
and
vnlearned
:
but
I
study
that
I
may
be
able
to
conferre
and
talke
with
other
men
of
matters
which
shal
be
presented
vnto
vs
,
or
haue
bin
heretofore
obiected
by
the
Lutherans
for
although
wee
cannot
erre
in
our
publike
determinations
,
it
doth
not
follow
that
we
cannot
erre
in
our
priuate
talks
,
and
conference
:
nay
if
you
were
there
present
,
yée
should
heare
not
only
differences
and
dissentions
amongst
vs
,
but
also
manifest
contradictions
.
The
Iudges
said
vnto
him
,
that
for
all
this
he
did
ill
to
study
,
séeing
that
by
how
much
the
more
learnedly
and
truely
hee
spake
of
Iesus
Christ
,
by
so
much
the
more
he
should
be
estéemed
a
Lutheran
.
The
21.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
the
folly
of
them
who
beleeue
in
the
Pope
.
IN
the
time
of
Pope
Boniface
the
seauenth
who
was
very
wicked
,
as
commonly
the
rest
of
the
Popes
are
)
there
was
in
Rome
a
foolish
and
wicked
fellow
possessed
with
such
a
frenzie
that
he
thought
himselfe
to
bee
the
Popes
Lieutenant
wherefore
going
vp
and
downe
Rome
,
he
would
bragge
that
he
had
all
the
Popes
authority
:
so
that
all
laughed
at
his
folly
,
except
one
Romane
Gentleman
who
beléeued
him
,
and
there
vpon
bought
of
him
diuers
offices
and
liuings
;
which
when
the
Cittizens
vnderstood
they
began
to
mock
and
laugh
at
him
more
then
at
the
foole
,
saying
vnto
him
that
he
had
lesse
wit
then
the
other
,
because
he
belieued
him
;
withall
shewing
him
certaine
reasons
why
he
should
not
giue
credit
to
the
fooles
words
,
as
first
because
he
shewed
no
warrant
,
or
authentike
testimonie
from
the
Pope
;
secondly
,
because
the
Pope
was
then
present
at
Roome
,
so
that
hee
could
well
execute
his
office
in
his
owne
person
,
and
therefore
it
was
not
likely
that
hee
would
ordaine
a
Vicar
in
his
place
:
Lastly
,
that
if
the
Pope
would
make
one
,
hee
would
by
no
meanes
substitute
such
a
wicked
foole
as
this
fellow
was
to
exercise
his
authoritie
in
his
stead
.
But
the
Gent.
answered
them
and
said
,
by
your
owne
reasons
ye
are
better
fooles
then
I
,
in
that
you
belieue
that
this
Boniface
is
the
Vicar
of
Iesus
Christ
:
for
first
yee
haue
no
warrant
or
testimonie
for
it
from
the
holy
Scriptures
,
which
are
the
word
of
God
.
Againe
,
yee
know
well
that
Iesus
Christ
in
spirit
is
alwaies
present
with
his
Church
,
so
that
he
can
well
rule
and
gouerne
it
himselfe
.
Thirdly
,
if
hée
would
haue
another
gouerne
in
his
place
,
without
all
doubt
to
an
office
and
gouernment
of
such
great
importance
,
hee
would
neuer
haue
chosen
such
a
foolish
and
wicked
man
,
as
this
Pope
Boniface
is
.
These
reasons
so
well
pleased
them
all
,
and
were
found
so
sufficient
,
that
presently
they
droue
the
Pope
out
of
Rome
.
But
indeed
men
were
at
that
time
wiser
,
then
any
that
liue
in
these
our
dayes
.
The
22
Apologue
,
in
which
is
declared
the
impiety
of
them
who
commit
the
charge
of
soules
to
vnworthy
persons
.
THere
was
on
a
time
at
Rome
a
Cardinall
of
Germanie
,
who
intreated
a
learned
Doctor
who
then
liued
at
Rome
,
that
hee
would
vndertake
the
charg
of
instructing
his
sons
,
offering
him
for
his
paines
fiue
hundred
crownes
by
the
yeare
.
And
being
asked
by
the
Doctor
when
hee
would
send
them
to
Rome
?
hee
answered
that
he
would
not
send
them
thither
at
all
:
then
(
said
the
Doctor
)
it
is
vnpossible
that
I
should
be
their
maister
,
for
I
haue
determined
neuer
to
leaue
Rome
;
I
care
not
(
said
the
Cardinall
)
whether
you
be
present
with
them
or
no
,
so
that
you
will
onely
beare
the
name
of
being
their
Maister
.
That
condition
the
Doctor
willingly
accepted
:
wherefore
the
Cardinall
,
as
one
very
ioyfull
thereat
,
went
presently
and
recounted
all
to
the
Pope
,
saying
,
hee
now
thought
himselfe
well
eased
of
a
great
charge
;
but
the
Pope
laughing
at
him
,
said
,
what
profit
,
I
pray
you
,
will
arise
to
your
Children
from
such
a
Maister
who
will
neuer
bee
with
them
,
by
this
you
shew
the
small
loue
that
you
beare
vnto
them
.
Then
the
Cardinall
answered
and
said
,
you
shew
much
lesse
loue
to
your
spirituail
Children
,
in
that
you
appoint
Italians
and
other
strangers
to
bee
Pastours
ouer
the
poore
Germanes
,
who
notwithstanding
neuer
come
at
vs
;
insomuch
that
many
of
them
know
not
where
their
Bishoprickes
lie
;
and
yet
things
which
concerne
the
soule
are
of
farre
greater
consequence
then
letters
:
moreover
I
haue
prouided
for
my
children
a
master
who
is
a
learned
man
,
and
well
able
to
teach
and
instruct
them
:
but
you
ordaine
to
be
Bishops
ouer
the
People
,
those
who
are
not
onely
sinfull
,
and
wicked
,
but
also
vnlearned
and
ignorant
beasts
:
wherefore
if
I
in
this
case
haue
not
satisfied
my
duety
,
assure
your selfe
that
you
much
lesse
satisfie
yours
,
in
placing
such
Pastours
(
or
rather
Wolues
)
ouer
the
sheepe
of
Iesus
Christ
:
the
Pope
knew
not
what
to
answer
,
but
being
very
angry
,
bad
him
depart
out
of
his
sight
.
The
23.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
discouered
the
foolish
presumption
of
them
,
who
teach
new
rules
and
manners
of
liuing
like
Christians
.
POpe
Iulius
the
second
,
hauing
caused
the
Church
of
S.
Peter
to
be
pulled
downe
with
an
intent
to
reedifie
it
after
a
more
beautiful
and
stately
manner
,
commanded
a
pourtrait
thereof
to
be
drawne
by
the
chiefest
Architect
and
contriuer
of
buildings
which
was
then
to
be
found
,
which
he
did
so
exactly
that
the
Pope
liked
well
of
it
as
soone
as
hée
saw
it
,
and
gaue
charge
that
the
foundation
of
the
building
should
bee
laid
according
therevnto
.
Now
at
the
same
time
,
there
were
certaine
Maister
Carpenters
,
who
knew
how
to
make
nothing
well
,
vnlesse
it
were
a
Boxe
or
a
Coffir
,
or
such
small
matters
,
yet
notwithstanding
did
so
much
presume
of
themselues
,
that
euery
one
of
them
did
vndertake
to
drawe
a
seuerall
Platforme
of
S.
Peters
Church
;
which
being
compared
with
the
former
,
resembled
rather
little
cottages
then
any
thing
else
.
Finally
euery
one
being
desirous
that
the
Pope
should
approue
his
for
good
,
and
build
the
Church
according
to
it
,
made
such
meanes
that
the
Pope
had
the
sight
of
them
;
but
hee
mocking
at
their
foolish
presumption
said
,
vnto
them
,
our
purpose
is
to
build
but
one
Church
and
therefore
one
platforme
will
suffice
,
and
already
wee
haue
procured
one
,
which
,
wee
thinke
to
be
absolute
;
what
therefore
would
you
haue
vs
doe
with
your
cabbins
?
then
the
Carpenters
answered
and
said
,
Holy
Father
,
you
know
that
there
is
but
one
Church
of
God
,
and
Iesus
Christ
the
Soueraigne
maister
and
builder
thereof
,
hath
giuen
it
an
absolute
and
most
perfect
forme
,
and
rule
of
liuing
as
Christians
ought
to
doe
,
approued
euen
of
you
Popes
to
be
very
good
,
and
neuerthelesse
you
receiue
and
approoue
other
rules
and
formes
of
liuing
,
made
by
Basill
,
Benet
,
Dominicke
,
Francis
,
and
many
other
,
who
haue
presumed
so
far
(
at
least
as
the
Munkes
would
haue
men
beléeue
)
as
to
ad
their
foolish
inuentions
&
humane
traditions
to
the
most
perfect
rule
of
the
commandements
of
our
Lord
and
only
lawmaker
Iesus
Christ
:
why
therefore
will
not
youreceiue
and
allow
of
the
platformes
,
and
portraites
which
wee
haue
drawne
?
But
the
Pope
made
answer
that
theirs
was
nothing
worth
,
because
they
did
not
serue
(
as
the
other
did
)
either
to
the
augmentation
,
or
preseruation
of
the
Popedome
.
The
24
Apologue
,
wherin
are
condemned
humane
rules
and
commandements
touching
spirituall
liuing
,
together
with
a
demonstration
of
the
euil
which
proceedeth
thence
.
IN
the
yeare
of
Iubile
,
two
holy
men
went
vnto
Rome
,
to
see
if
it
were
true
(
as
they
had
heard
)
that
there
were
so
many
hypocrisies
,
superstitions
,
Idolatries
,
and
impieties
?
And
that
they
might
bee
the
better
resolued
,
they
went
vnto
Cardinall
Chietie
,
as
to
the
fountaine
of
all
,
and
demaunded
of
him
what
a
man
ought
to
doe
to
be
saued
?
and
hee
answered
that
hée
ought
to
enter
into
his
religion
.
As
,
said
they
,
there
is
but
one
Christ
one
Gospell
,
one
law
of
God
,
one
Baptisme
,
and
one
faith
:
so
there
is
but
one
true
Religion
,
which
is
that
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Then
the
Cardinall
answered
,
I
would
haue
him
enter
into
my
religion
,
without
departing
from
that
of
Christ
;
that
cannot
bée
(
replied
the
other
)
for
the
Conuentual
Friers
of
S.
Francis
,
the
Friers
of
S.
Francis
,
the
Friers
of
the
Obseruance
,
and
of
the
loue
of
God
,
the
Friers
of
S.
Clare
,
and
the
Boscaines
,
and
the
Cabuchines
,
haue
all
one
same
rule
of
S.
Francis
,
and
yet
the
same
person
cannot
at
the
same
time
bee
of
two
of
these
religions
,
and
then
how
can
one
at
the
same
time
be
of
Christs
religion
and
yours
.
seeing
the
rule
of
yours
is
repugnant
to
that
of
Christ
?
that
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
that
a
Dunke
of
S.
Francis
may
be
at
the
same
time
a
Chartreuse
also
,
which
is
a
thing
vnpossible
,
for
as
much
as
their
orders
are
not
onely
different
,
but
in
many
things
quite
contrary
.
Then
the
Cardinall
said
,
although
the
rule
of
my
religion
be
different
from
that
of
Christ
,
yet
is
it
not
contrary
:
but
(
said
they
)
the
rule
of
Iesus
Christ
is
so
perfect
,
that
nothing
can
be
added
therevnto
,
for
wee
ran
doe
no
good
worke
to
the
glory
of
God
but
we
are
obliged
vnto
it
,
by
the
most
perfect
law
of
God
,
which
commaundeth
vs
to
honour
him
aboue
all
thinges
,
in
all
places
,
at
all
times
,
and
by
all
meanes
possible
:
wherefore
if
your
religion
being
(
according
to
your
owne
speeches
)
different
from
that
of
Christ
,
doe
commaund
any
thing
which
you
are
not
tyed
to
doe
by
the
law
of
God
,
it
followeth
that
it
is
all
naught
,
seeing
that
God
hath
commaunded
all
thinges
which
are
good
.
Now
that
those
things
which
you
commaund
besides
the
commandements
of
God
are
all
bad
,
and
wicked
,
yea
and
contrary
to
those
thinges
which
God
commaundeth
,
it
appeareth
plainely
,
for
you
forbid
your
sect
to
preach
,
and
Christ
would
haue
the
Gospell
preached
in
season
and
out
of
season
:
you
would
not
haue
them
labour
,
and
take
paines
,
and
God
commaundeth
that
wee
should
get
our
bread
with
the
sweate
of
our
browes
:
you
exempt
them
from
their
obedience
to
their
Parents
,
Princes
,
and
other
Maiestrates
,
and
God
commaunds
the
contrary
,
that
wee
honour
our
fathers
and
mothers
,
and
be
obedient
to
the
higher
powers
;
you
forbid
them
to
marry
,
although
they
haue
not
the
guift
of
contineutie
,
but
God
on
the
contrary
inuits
men
to
holy
marriage
;
you
commaund
them
to
abide
alwaies
in
the
Monastery
,
although
they
bee
indued
with
good
guifts
from
aboue
to
do
some
good
and
holy
worke
abroad
:
and
so
of
all
your
ceremonies
,
where
with
men
being
fast
bound
they
are
depriued
of
the
true
spiritual
Christian
liberty
,
and
in
nothing
subiect
and
obedient
to
God
,
and
the
holy
spirit
.
The
Cardinall
knew
not
what
to
answer
,
but
said
,
that
although
their
words
were
true
,
yet
the
Pope
could
dispense
with
all
,
and
so
hee
bad
them
farewell
.

Apologue

are

the
sottish
frenzies
of

Munkes

Nunnes
,
THe
Ambassadour
of
Soudan
being
at
Florence
,
demaunded
on
a
day
of
Lawrence
de
Medicis
,
why
he
could
not
see
fooles
running
vp
and
downe
the
streetes
of
Florence
?
as
hee
had
séene
commonly
in
other
Citties
?
And
he
answered
and
said
because
wee
keepe
all
our
fooles
locked
vp
in
diuers
places
,
according
to
the
aduersity
of
their
frenzies
:
and
then
leading
him
forth
of
Florence
,
hee
shewed
him
diuers
Monesteries
of
Monkes
,
and
Nunnes
,
saying
vnto
him
,
that
therein
dweiled
all
their
hee
and

fooles
:
And
after
the
Embassadour
had
séene
them
and
those
also
which
were
within
the
Cittie
,
hee
did
exceedingly
wonder
at
the
great
number
of
fooles
:
and
especially
that
so
many
,
and
so
different
frenzies
could
enter
into
the
braine
of
man
.
The
26.
Apologue
,
where
in
is
discouered
the
great
ignorance
of
some
of
the
Popes
Prelates
.
THe
Reuerend
Fathers
of
the
Councell
of
Trent
,
disputed
among
themselues
about
Peters
supremacy
of
the
Church
;
indeauoring
to
proue
by
the
words
of
our
Lord
Iesu
Christ
to
Peter
,
when
he
said
,
Thou
art
Cephas
,
that
the
Pope
was
head
of
the
Church
,
but
some
of
them
said
that
it
could
not
be
thereby
proued
,
because
that
Cephas
was
a
Syriacke
word
and
did
signifie
(
firme
)
or
a
(
stone
)
but
there
was
one
,
who
bearing
great
affection
to
the
French
Tongue
,
said
vnto
them
,
you
know
not
what
you
say
,
for
Christ
in
that
place
doth
not
speake
in
the
Synacke
but
in
the
French
tongue
,
wherein
Chef
signifieth
(
a
head
)
and
though
he
said
Cephas
,
yet
is
it
pronounced
Chephas
,
so
that
he
spake
both
French
and
Latine
.

of

be
so
great

ONe
demanded
of

what
was
the
Originall
of
the
Popedome
,
and
how
it
did
increase
to
such
an

And
the
other
answered
and
said
;
the
Emperour
Phoca
planted
it
,
the
Kings
of
France
did
water
it
,
and
the
Diuell
of
Hell
hath
giuen
it
increase
:
but
little
ones
shall
cut
it
downe
,
and
simple
ones
shall
make
it

it

fire
of
his
holy
spirit

The
28.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
great
pride
of
the
Popish
Bishops
.
THere
was
a
Bishop
who
had
beene
a
diligent
and
learned
Preacher
;
hee
being
abroad
in
his
Diocesse
in
the
Lent
,
was
intreated
by
many
,
that
he
would
giue
them
a
Sermon
as
he
was
wont
;
but
hee
answered
and
said
;
these
twenty
yeares
or
there
about
I
haue
taken
great
paines
in
preaching
,
only
that
at
length
I
might
ascend
to
the
dignity
of
a
Bishop
:
wherefore
ye
are
very
simple
and
foolish
people
to
thinke
that
I
will
now
descend
,
and
debase
my selfe
so
much
,
as
of
a
Bishop
to
become
a
Preacher
.
The
29.
Apologue
,
where
in
is
discouered
the
folly
of
the
Pope
and
Papists
.
IN
the
time
of
Pope
Leo
,
there
were
ten
notable
fooles
running
about
the
streets
of
Rome
;
all
which
on
a
day
the
Pope
sent
for
to
make
him
pastime
as
he
was
at
dinner
and
assoone
as
he
saw
them
hee
laughed
exceedingly
at
the
diuersity
of
their
follies
;
now
there
was
one
amongst
them
who
thought
himselfe
to
be
Emperor
of
all
the
world
,
and
as
an
Emperor
did
command
the
other
fooles
and
distributed
amongst
them
the
estates
and
gouernments
of
the
World
;
doing
it
with
such
a
viuacity
and
grace
,
that
the
beholders
iudged
him
to
bee
throughly
perswaded
that
bee
was
an
Emperor
indéede
.
Therefore
the
Pope
saide
vnto
them
about
him
,
this
poore
man
is
maruellous
foolish
,
that
in
so
great
pouerty
,
hee
doth
perswade
himselfe
to
bee
an
Emperour
.
But
the
foole
hearing
it
turned
towards
him
and
said
:
You
are
more
foolish
and
boyd
of
vnderstanding
then
I
,
in
that
(
beeing
a
sinfull
man
)
you
are
made
to
beléeue
,
that
you
are
a
God
on
Earth
:
and
your
followers
are
berier
fooles
then
my
companions
,
for
although
I
giue
them
Kingdomes
and
gouernments
of
the
world
,
yet
they
giue
no
credit
to
me
at
all
:
but
your
followers
do
stedfastly
beléeue
that
you
are
able
to
giue
them
Indulgences
,
Benedictions
,
Iubilées
,
Absolutions
,
Remission
of
sinnes
and
also
Paradice
it selfe
.
Then
the
Pope
said
let
not
a
man
meddle
with
fooles
,
if
hée
would
not
haue
the
truth
told
him
without
flattery
:
and
so
he
departed
from
them
.
The
30.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
discouered
and
condemned
the
Superstition
of
Bells
.
THe
Priestes
and
Monkes
of
a
certaine
Citty
on
a
time
when
a
great
tempest
was
likely
to
arise
,
betooke
themselues
to
the
Church
and
rang
out
the
bells
,
to
turne
away
the
storme
and
tempest
;
wherefore
the
gouernour
of
the
Citty
(
noting
it
)
on
another
time
when
a
tempest
was
likely
to
ensue
,
caused
all
the
Canons
and
great
pieces
which
were
vppon
the
walls
to
bee
shot
off
toward
that
way
,
which
hee
thought
the
tempest
would
come
:
&
the
Bishop
demanded
of
him
why
hée
did
so
:
and
he
said
,
first
I
pray
you
tell
me
why
you
caused
all
the
Bells
to
bee
rung
out
at
such
a
time
?
And
the
Bishop
answered
that
it
was
to
chase
and
driue
away
the
Diuells
,
who
were
the
causers
and
stirrers
vp
of
the
tempest
in
the
Ayre
.
Then
the
Gouernour
said
,
although
I
know
that
the
Deuils
doe
no
more
feare
the
sound
of
the
bells
then
the
Dawes
which
sit
in
the
towne
yet
I
commanded
these
Canons
to
be
shot
off
to
the
end
that
you
might
plainely
perceiue
,
that
if
they
did
not
feare
the
terrible
thunbring
noyse
of
them
,
they
would
much
lesse
be
affraid
of
the
sound
of
your
Bells
.
The
31.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
great
folly
of
those
that
beleeue
that
God
hath
giuen
the
charge
of
beasts
to
Saints
.
A
Certaine
noble
Lady
of
France
being
at
the
point
of
death
,
was
exhorted
by
her
Confessor
to
dye
willingly
;
assuring
her selfe
,
that
without
all
doubt
she
should
go
presently
to
Paradice
,
and
she
answered
and
said
I
could
bee
very
well
content
to
goe
to
Paradice
were
it
not
for
one
respect
:
and
being
asked
by
her
Confessor
,
what
could
hinder
her
from
going
thither
willingly
?
shee
said
,
seeing
that
God
(
as
you
say
)
hath
giuen
the
charge
of
hogges
to
Saint
Anthony
,
of
herses
to
Saint
Elie
,
and
of
many
other
Birds
and
Beastes
to
diuers
holy
Men
and
Women
,
and
hath
not
yet
giuen
the
charge
and
gouernment
of
geese
,
turkes
,
and
hennes
,
to
any
one
:
I
am
afraid
,
if
I
goe
to
Paradice
that
he
will
giue
me
that
office
which
will
much
derogate
from
the
nobility
of
my
stock
;
wherefore
if
it
will
please
God
to
commit
the
tuition
of
any
Beasts
to
mee
,
when
I
come
thither
.
I
would
haue
you
pray
that
it
may
be
of
little
dogs
:
because
it
is
the
custome
of
Ladies
and
Gentlewomen
to
haue
them
alwayes
about
them
.
The
32.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
discouered
the
sottish
superstition
of
them
who
thinke
they
can
deliuer
soules
out
of
Purgatory
,
by
saying
the
Masses
of
Saint
Gregory
.
A
Cerretan
,
(
that
is
a
Pardon-monger
,
or
popish
Marchant
)
told
the
people
,
as
hee
trauelled
about
the
Contrey
,
that
hee
could
say
a
prayer
of
Saint
Gregory
,
which
was
of
such
force
and
vertue
,
that
as
often
as
he
said
it
,
he
fréed
a
soule
out
of
hell
:
(
alwayes
prouided
,
that
hee
had
a
crowne
paid
him
beforehand
)
&
because
many
resorted
vnto
to
him
,
to
obtaine
this
deliuerance
for
their
friends
,
The
Cordeliers
inraged
against
him
,
sought
him
out
and
calling
him
Hereticke
,
and
fountaine
of
all
billanies
,
demanded
of
him
who
had
told
him
,
that
by
saying
a
prayer
of
Saint
Gregory
,
hee
might
free
a
Soule
out
of
Hell
?
Then
the
Cerretan
said
,
and
who
assured
you
that
by
saying
thirty
Masses
you
might
,
deliuer
Soules
out
of
Purgatory
?
the
Cordeliers
answered
that
it
was
reueiled
to
S.
Gregory
(
as
hee
was
saying
Masses
,
to
retire
a
Soule
out
of
Purgatory
)
that
after
the
thirtieth
the
soule
,
was
deliuered
.
In
like
manner
also
,
said
the
Cerretan
,
at
the
prayer
of
the
same
Saint
Gregory
the
soule
of
the
Emperour
Traian
being
in
Hell
,
was
transported
into
Paradice
,
as
hée
vnderstood
by
Reuelation
;
Oh
(
said
the
Cordeliers
)
it
is
no
maruell
if
hee
deliuered
him
,
because
hee
was
Pope
,
and
an
holy
man
,
which
thou
art
not
;
and
moreouer
,
Traian
had
some
feare
of
God
,
but
thou
sayest
,
that
thou
art
able
to
deliuer
all
Infidells
as
well
as
other
:
so
said
the
Cerretan
)
when
S.
Gregory
deliuered
the
soule
out
of
Purgatory
he
was
Pope
and
an
holy
man
,
which
you
are
not
;
beside
that
soule
had
not
beene
any
long
time
there
,
but
you
say
you
can
deliuer
all
indifferently
.
Then
the
Cordeliers
said
,
it
was
by
a
singular
priuiledge
that
hee
deliuered
the
soule
of
Traian
,
which
is
not
giuen
to
thée
,
in
like
maner
(
said
the
Cerretan
)
if
he
did
deliuer
the
soule
out
of
Purgatory
as
you
say
)
it
was
by
an
espetiall
grace
granted
vnto
him
,
and
not
to
you
.
Last
of
all
the
Cordeliers
told
him
that
he
knew
not
what
prayer
S.
Gregory
said
when
he
deliuered
the
soule
of
Traian
out
of
hell
.
And
doe
you
(
said
the
Cerretan
)
know
what
Masses
he
said
when
hee
deliuered
the
soule
out
of
Purgatory
?
Wherefore
doe
yee
say
nothing
against
mee
,
and
I
will
say
nothing
against
you
,
and
let
vs
not
discouer
one
anothers
marchandise
,
but
onely
study
how
we
may
more
and
more
rosen
and
beguile
the
simple
people
,
and
so
they
agréed
.
The
33.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
the
folly
of
them
that
worship
Images
.
AN
olde
man
of
the
third
order
of
S.
Francis
,
hauing
séene
in
the
Temple
Saint
Francis
and
S.
Dominicke
?
at
the
feet
of
the
Crucifire
,
the
one
on
the
right
hand
and
the
other
on
the
left
,
and
not
knowing
what
they
meant
,
demanded
of
his
Confessor
why
one
of
them
was
painted
with
with
wounds
and
scars
and
the
other
without
?
and
the
Confessor
said
,
because
that
S.
Francis
had
those
wounds
imprinted
in
hint
and
not
Saint
Dominicke
Is
one
of
them
(
said
the
olde
man
)
Saint
Francis
,
and
the
other
Saint
Dominicke
?
yes
(
said
the
Confessor
.
)
Then
the
old
man
cryed
out
saying
,
O
wretch
that
I
am
!
I
alwaies
thought
they
had
beene
the
two
théeues
betwéene
whom
Christ
was
crucified
;
and
which
is
worse
,
because
that
in
the
temples
of
Saint
Dominicke
,
he
that
is
without
wounds
is
painted
on
the
right
hand
of
Christ
,
and
the
other
on
the
left
,
and
on
the
contrary
in
your
Temples
he
that
hath
the
wounds
is
on
the
right
hand
,
and
the
other
on
the
left
:
by
reason
that
I
could
not
discerne
,
which
was
the
good
théese
,
I
haue
held
them
both
for
sinners
and
neuer
worshipped
either
of
them
.
The
24.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
discouered
the
folly
of
them
who
thinke
they
may
bee
iustified
and
saued
by
their
owne
workes
.
IT
happened
that
a
Citizen
of
Geneua
had
so
grieuously
offended
the
Prince
Dorie
,
that
he
condemed
him
to
bee
a
Gallislaue
as
long
as
he
liued
;
and
when
he
was
placed
in
the
Gallies
,
he
was
counselled
by
his
friends
to
procure
the
sauour
and
mediation
of
the
Lord
Ianotin
Dorie
;
for
(
said
they
)
hee
is
so
deare
vnto
the
Prince
,
that
he
can
easily
obtaine
pardon
for
you
;
but
hée
answered
that
hee
did
not
beléeue
hée
either
would
or
could
profit
him
therein
at
all
,
and
therefore
hee
would
not
make
suit
vnto
him
;
principally
because
he
did
hope
of
himselfe
,
without
any
other
meanes
to
regaine
the
sauour
of
the
Prince
;
which
that
he
might
bring
to
passe
,
he
busied
himselfe
in
making
tooth-pickers
:
and
although
by
his
continuall
labour
hee
could
not
get
sufficient
to
furnish
himselfe
with
necessaries
;
yet
so
foolish
hee
was
,
that
he
thought
by
his
tooth-pickers
at
length
to
heape
together
such
a
treasure
,
that
by
it
hee
might
bee
able
not
onely
to
pacifie
the
anger
of
the
Prince
,
get
his
fauour
,
and
deliuer
himselfe
from
the
Gallies
,
but
also
with
the
surplusage
to
become
a
rich
and
wealthy
Seigneur
;
and
it
chanced
that
two
Capuchin
Fryers
on
a
time
,
came
to
the
same
Gally
to
passe
there
into
Naples
;
and
séeing
this
poore
man
haue
rest
neither
night
nor
day
(
for
when
hee
left
rowing
he
betooke
himselfe
to
his
making
of
toothpickers
)
they
demanded
of
him
,
what
moued
him
to
doe
so
?
and
he
answered
and
said
.
I
hope
by
the
gaine
which
I
make
by
this
my
labour
to
purchase
the
fauour
of
the
Prince
,
and
to
becom
a
rich
man
;
then
the
Capuchins
said
vnto
him
,
that
hee
was
a
very
foole
to
thinke
to
attaine
vnto
that
,
onely
by
meanes
of
his
tooth-pickers
,
and
that
they
could
more
preuaile
in
procuring
him
fauour
with
the
Prince
,
then
the
Lord
Ianotin
:
But
(
said
he
)
if
yee
well
consider
it
,
see
Capuchins
are
verier
fooles
then
I
;
in
that
you
thinke
and
stedfastly
beléeue
,
that
by
your
good
workes
you
may
be
able
to
free
your selues
from
sinne
,
and
seruitude
of
the
Diuell
,
wherein
you
are
,
pacifie
the
anger
of
God
towards
you
,
purchase
his
fauour
and
become
his
children
,
and
inheritors
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
and
which
is
more
,
that
your
said
workes
can
more
preuaile
with
God
,
then
Iesus
Christ
his
welbeloued
Sonne
,
in
whom
hee
is
well
pleased
.
The
35.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
what
the
Popes
are
and
what
is
their
authority
.
THe
Pope
beeing
dead
,
the
Cardinalls
could
not
agrée
in
the
creation
of
a
new
Pope
:
for
the
Gibellins
,
would
haue
a
Gibellin
,
and
the
Guelfes
would
haue
a
Guelfe
to
be
Pope
;
and
although
they
had
already
béene
some
monthes
in
the
Conclaue
,
yet
were
they
still
so
obstinate
,
that
euery
one
of
both
parts
had
sworne
that
hee
would
much
rather
make
the
Diuell
Pope
,
then
one
of
the
contrary
faction
.
Now
the
Diuell
well
knowing
their
mindes
,
appeared
to
them
in
the
forme
of
a
man
,
and
shewed
them
,
that
by
delaying
the
creation
of
a
Pope
,
they
did
wrong
both
their
Church
and
themselues
exceeding
much
;
and
that
(
seeing
they
could
not
otherwise
agrée
)
they
were
best
to
choose
him
to
be
their
Pope
,
saying
vnto
them
;
If
you
will
elect
mée
I
can
greatly
increase
the
Popedome
,
seeing
that
none
of
the
Counsells
of
the
great
Seigneurs
are
hid
from
mee
:
and
moreouer
being
that
I
haue
no
Children
,
nor
Parents
,
I
will
bestow
all
the
benifices
and
offices
,
and
distribute
all
the
treasure
of
the
Church
;
only
amongst
you
and
your
friends
These
conditions
so
wel
pleased
them
all
,
that
they
agréed
to
elect
him
,
and
called
him
Siluester
the
second
.
After
this
,
it
happened
on
a
time
that
a
Cardinall
returning
from
the
Popes
Pallace
,
was
demanded
of
a
friend
of
his
which
met
him
from
whence
he
came
?
And
hee
answered
that
he
came
from
the
Pope
,
of
whom
he
had
obtained
plenary
indulgence
,
and
remission
of
all
his
sinnes
:
but
his
friend
said
,
what
?
Do
you
not
know
who
is
our
Pope
?
Doe
you
beléeue
that
the
Diuell
is
able
to
forgiue
sinnes
?
Then
the
Cardinall
replied
and
said
;
other
Popes
héeretofore
haue
béene
sinners
not
onely
full
of
vices
,
but
also
the
very
fountaines
of
all
impiety
,
and
oftentimes
worse
then
the
Diuell
himselfe
;
and
do
you
thinke
that
,
being
such
they
had
power
to
giue
indulgence
,
and
remission
of
sinnes
?
Yes
(
said
the
other
)
as
they
were
Popes
,
though
not
as
sinners
.
In
like
manner
(
said
the
Cardinall
)
he
that
is
now
Pope
hath
power
to
giue
remission
of
sinnes
,
as
he
is
Pope
,
although
not
as
Diuell
:
so
that
it
sufficeth
that
they
be
Popes
to
saue
men
;
for
the
rest
it
is
all
one
,
whether
they
be
good
or
bad
,
men
or
Diuells
;
but
I
(
said
the
other
)
beleeue
that
onely
Iesus
Christ
can
forgiue
sinnes
,
and
not
the
Diuell
nor
his
Ministers
,
and
that
God
hath
ordained
the
Diuells
to
be
his
executioners
and
not
his
Apostles
.
The
36.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
folly
of
the
Romans
,
who
yeeld
themselues
to
the
Pope
.
THe
Lord
Duke
of
Melphe
being
sent
for
by
the
Emperor
to
vndertake
the
gouernment
of
Sienes
tooke
Roome
in
his
way
and
visited
Pope
Clement
▪
who
disswaded
him
from
going
thither
,
saying
that
the
Sieniands
were
madbraind
and
furious
people
,
and
that
if
any
toy
should
come
into
their
heads
,
they
would
either
kill
him
,
or
chase
him
thence
with
great
disgrace
;
but
the
Duke
answered
and
said
,
I
beléeue
that
to
be
true
which
your
Holinesse
saith
,
that
if
they
should
become
madmen
they
would
either
kil
me
or
driue
me
thence
;
and
yet
I
hope
I
shall
spéed
well
enough
:
for
the
Romanes
would
doe
the
like
to
you
,
if
they
should
become
wise
men
,
&
yet
you
are
here
at
Rome
without
feare
;
without
all
doubt
(
then
said
the
Pope
)
if
the
Romans
were
well
in
their
wits
they
would
not
indure
me
,
and
therfore
we
kéepe
them
alwayes
drunk
with
the
swéet
Maladeies
of
S.
Peter
.
The
37.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
in
part
shewed
what
and
how
great
the
authority
of
the
Popes
is
.
AN
Astrologer
went
on
a
time
to
Pope
Paul
,
and
foretold
him
that
in
the
yeare
1549
▪
the
heauens
by
reason
of
some
maligne
influences
,
would
threaten
him
a
very
grieuous
malady
,
with
great
danger
of
death
and
the
Pope
demanded
of
[
him
]
whether
he
knew
any
remedy
?
Yes
(
said
the
Astrologer
)
if
you
will
goe
that
yeare
to
Germany
,
and
abide
there
,
you
shall
auoid
the
danger
;
that
is
true
without
doubt
(
said
the
Pope
)
for
the
Germans
will
take
away
my
life
,
and
by
that
meanes
I
shal
be
deliuered
from
all
maladies
:
but
tell
me
,
may
not
I
auoyd
the
danger
,
if
I
continue
still
at
Rome
?
there
is
but
one
way
(
said
the
Astrologer
)
which
is
(
seeing
you
haue
the
Keyes
of
Heauen
)
that
you
kéepe
them
fast
shut
all
that
yeare
,
so
that
the
influences
may
not
descend
vpon
you
.
Is
that
sufficient
(
said
the
Pope
?
)
Yes
(
said
hee
)
for
if
the
Soules
which
are
spirituall
,
cannot
pierce
the
Heauens
,
and
enter
into
Paradice
,
unlesse
you
open
them
with
your
Keyes
:
the
influences
which
are
corporall
can
much
lesse
come
downe
vnto
you
if
you
kéepe
them
well
shut
vp
in
the
heauens
;
but
(
said
the
Pope
)
what
meanes
may
we
vse
to
shut
them
?
the
(
same
said
the
Astrologer
)
which
you
vse
in
opening
them
:
that
is
,
make
a
signe
of
the
Crosse
,
and
command
them
to
remaine
shut
.
At
this
the
Pope
laughed
and
departed
.
The
38.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
discouered
the
cruelty
and
impiety
of
the
Spanish
inquisition
.
THe
Spanish
Inquisitors
(
or
rather
Inquinators
and
defilers
of
the
faith
)
being
desirous
to
extort
and
violently
take
away
the
goods
of
a
simple
(
but
rich
Countriman
,
cited
him
to
appeare
before
them
with
an
intent
subtilly
to
examine
him
in
all
the
Articles
of
faith
;
hoping
,
that
being
hee
was
a
simple
and
ignorant
fellow
,
altogether
void
of
learning
,
they
might
easily
intangle
him
in
some
of
his
spéeches
&
so
put
him
to
death
as
an
hereticke
,
and
lay
hands
on
his
goods
.
Well
the
Countryman
at
the
day
appointed
was
present
,
and
they
with
seeming
graue
,
&
religious
countenances
demanded
of
him
what
he
beléeued
?
and
he
said
,
I
beléeue
that
which
the
holy
Church
belieues
.
Tell
vs
,
said
they
what
the
holy
Church
belieues
?
that
which
I
belieue
said
hee
.
And
though
they
proposed
diuers
questions
vnto
him
,
they
could
not
draw
him
out
of
this
answer
:
for
when
they
said
vnto
him
,
dost
thou
belieue
that
the
Masse
is
a
sacrifice
agreeable
to
the
will
of
God
,
and
that
it
profiteth
the
dead
?
and
that
the
breach
of
the
commaundements
of
the
Pope
is
a
mortall
sinne
?
hée
answered
still
,
I
beléeue
that
which
the
holy
Church
beléeues
.
What
(
said
the
Inquisitours
)
dost
thou
beléeue
nothing
else
,
but
that
which
the
holy
Church
beleeues
?
Is
it
not
sufficient
(
said
the
Countrey-man
)
that
I
belieue
all
which
the
holy
Church
beléeues
?
what
I
pray
you
would
you
haue
me
beleeue
else
?
Then
they
asked
him
of
whom
hee
had
learned
to
answer
in
that
sort
?
and
hee
answered
and
said
,
I
learned
it
of
our
Curate
,
who
visiting
me
that
yeare
I
was
sick
,
said
vnto
mee
take
great
care
of
your selfe
,
and
giue
eare
to
that
which
I
shall
say
:
when
you
are
at
the
point
of
death
,
the
Diuels
will
come
to
tempt
you
,
and
to
examine
you
subtilly
concerning
your
faith
,
to
the
end
they
may
insnare
you
in
some
of
your
words
,
and
so
carry
your
soule
into
hell
,
wherefore
when
they
say
vnto
you
,
what
dost
thou
beléeue
?
doe
you
say
,
that
which
the
holy
Church
beléeues
,
and
if
they
reply
and
aske
what
the
holy
Church
beléeues
?
doe
you
say
that
which
I
beléeue
;
and
take
good
heede
that
you
answer
nothing
else
,
and
then
they
cannot
hurt
you
;
now
since
that
time
I
neuer
forgot
his
counsell
;
wherefore
when
you
cited
mée
,
fearing
I
should
haue
to
doe
with
Diuells
,
who
would
take
away
my
goods
and
life
,
I
thought
good
to
gouerne
my selfe
according
thereunto
;
In
the
end
the
Inquisitors
could
him
that
this
answere
was
not
sufficient
,
but
that
hee
ought
in
perticuler
to
expresse
what
he
belieued
.
Then
hee
said
,
If
this
answer
be
sufficient
to
satisfie
all
the
Diuells
in
hell
,
and
yet
will
not
content
you
,
it
followes
that
you
are
worse
then
the
very
diuels
:
and
so
(
they
not
knowing
what
to
say
to
him
)
hee
left
them
.
The
39.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
discouered
the
auarice
of
them
,
who
desire
to
haue
the
charge
of
diuerse
Churches
.
THere
was
a
young
Iew
at
Rome
,
who
said
on
a
time
to
a
Bishoppe
of
his
acquaintance
;
I
haue
a
wife
betroathed
vnto
mée
,
but
I
will
not
marry
her
,
vntill
I
can
finde
mee
out
another
:
for
wée
Iewes
may
haue
many
wiues
,
after
the
example
of
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
,
Dauid
,
and
many
other
holy
men
:
then
the
Bishoppe
said
vnto
him
,
you
are
vnwise
in
that
first
marry
that
which
you
haue
,
and
if
she
be
not
sufficient
for
you
then
seeke
for
another
.
By
your
owne
reason
(
said
the
Iew
)
you
are
farre
more
vnwise
then
I
,
in
that
hauing
one
Bishopricke
,
one
Church
to
gouerne
)
you
are
not
contented
therewith
,
but
abide
here
at
Rome
that
you
may
get
a
second
;
first
betake
your selfe
to
that
Church
which
you
haue
already
,
and
endeauour
to
discharge
your
duty
therein
,
and
when
that
is
done
,
if
you
finde
your selfe
able
to
satisfie
another
,
then
procure
it
:
but
if
it
be
so
that
I
hauing
two
wiues
in
the
same
house
,
cannot
please
them
both
,
doe
you
thinke
that
you
can
discharg
your
duty
toward
two
Churches
when
one
of
them
is
in
France
,
&
the
other
in
Lombardie
?
doe
you
not
vnderstand
that
if
it
be
a
hard
matter
to
gouerne
one
woman
well
,
it
is
a
thing
harder
(
without
comparison
)
to
gouerne
one
Church
well
?
And
therefore
(
as
it
appeareth
plainely
by
the
words
of
Saint
Paul
writing
to
the
Philippians
)
in
former
time
one
Church
had
many
Bishoppes
,
and
many
husbands
,
and
such
as
were
holy
men
,
so
that
one
alone
could
not
satisfie
it
:
but
now
at
this
day
:
ignorant
and
sinfull
Bishoppes
and
Pastours
,
burne
with
an
inordinate
desire
after
many
Bishopricks
and
Churches
,
whereas
they
are
fit
rather
to
gouerne
an
heard
of
Swine
,
then
the
Shéepe
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
dearely
bought
by
the
effusion
of
his
most
precious
blood
.
The
40.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
rediculous
superstition
of
the
three
knots
in
the
Cord
of
the
Frier
of
S.
Francis
.
A
Certaine
man
demaunded
of
the
Cordeliers
,
whether
it
were
necessary
that
their
corde
should
haue
three
knots
?
and
they
answered
that
it
was
necessary
,
by
reason
of
three
bowes
which
they
had
made
:
for
the
knot
belowe
(
said
they
)
which
oftentimes
trayleth
on
the
ground
,
signifieth
our
obedience
:
that
in
the
midst
(
which
by
reason
of
of
the
often
handling
is
filthier
commonly
then
the
rest
)
doth
signifie
our
pure
and
vndefiled
chastity
:
and
the
third
knot
aboue
,
whereby
we
tye
our selues
very
straightly
(
vnlesse
it
be
when
we
eate
and
drinke
,
for
then
indéede
,
fearing
least
our
bellies
should
burst
,
wee
vntie
it
)
signifieth
our
strict
pouertie
.
The
41
Apologue
by
which
is
shewed
the
superstition
of
them
who
repugne
and
contradict
the
Gospell
.
ON
a
time
the
best
learned
Iewes
of
the
Synagogue
of
Rome
,
went
to
the
Cardinall
of
England
(
being
then
at
Rome
)
and
praied
him
instantlie
,
that
he
would
speake
to
the
Pope
for
them
,
that
without
forsaking
their
Law
,
Customes
and
Ceremonies
,
they
might
be
made
Christians
,
saying
,
that
on
that
condition
they
would
be
Christened
,
or
else
not
:
but
the
Cardinall
answered
,
that
they
sought
for
a
thing
impossible
:
why
(
said
the
Iewes
then
)
a
man
may
well
bee
a
good
Iew
,
and
a
good
Christian
,
séeing
that
Moses
is
not
contrary
to
Iesus
Christ
,
nor
the
Law
to
the
Gospell
:
you
say
true
(
said
the
Cardinall
)
but
Christ
abrogated
the
Law
,
and
all
Ceremonies
,
because
they
were
verified
in
him
,
so
that
at
this
time
they
are
not
onely
annihilated
and
dead
,
but
also
deadly
to
all
that
obserue
them
any
longer
.
To
this
the
Iewes
answered
and
said
,
we
know
well
,
that
whosoeuer
would
now
be
circumcised
in
figure
of
the
spirituall
circumcision
,
which
ought
to
be
made
by
the
Messias
,
as
if
it
had
not
beene
done
already
,
should
doe
ill
,
but
we
circumcise
our selues
in
remembrance
of
the
spirituall
circumcision
already
made
by
Christ
:
in
like
manner
wee
purifie
our selues
in
remembrance
,
that
we
are
already
purified
by
Christ
,
also
wee
offer
sacrifices
for
a
memoriall
of
that
diuine
Lambe
sacrificed
by
vs
an
the
Crosse
:
and
which
is
more
,
wee
vse
the
Sacraments
of
Iesus
Christ
.
But
(
said
the
Cardinall
)
you
thinke
to
be
iustified
and
saued
by
the
obseruation
of
the
Law
,
and
the
Christians
belieue
they
shall
be
iustified
and
saued
by
grace
:
and
therfore
you
cannot
bee
Iewes
and
Christians
.
The
Iewes
replied
and
said
,
this
opinion
(
as
wee
thinke
)
is
of
the
Lutherans
,
and
conformable
to
that
which
of
old
tune
was
held
by
our
Olders
,
who
did
belieue
they
should
be
saued
,
not
by
their
proper
iustice
,
but
by
the
Messias
,
and
therefore
wee
willingly
agree
therrunto
:
then
the
Cardinall
said
,
that
to
be
Christians
they
must
abandon
and
forsake
all
Iudaisme
:
but
the
Iewes
replyed
saying
,
amongst
you
there
are
many
Monkes
,
who
thinke
to
be
iustified
and
saued
not
by
the
obseruation
of
the
Law
of
God
,
but
by
kéeping
their
owne
lawes
,
and
ordinances
,
inuented
and
forged
by
their
owne
braines
:
and
also
there
are
very
many
ceremonies
amongst
them
which
are
not
ionely
without
reason
,
foolish
and
ridiculous
,
but
also
full
of
impiety
,
and
directly
repugnant
to
the
Law
and
Gospell
of
God
:
as
not
to
be
obedient
to
parents
,
or
Princes
,
not
to
marry
although
they
haue
not
the
guift
of
continence
,
not
to
labour
,
not
to
preach
,
and
a
rabble
of
other
fantasies
almost
innumerable
:
and
yet
for
all
this
you
hould
them
for
Christians
.
Now
if
they
may
be
Augustines
,
Iacobines
,
Cordeliers
,
of
the
order
of
S.
Benet
,
Carmelites
,
Basilianists
,
Iesuits
,
Chartreuses
,
Teatines
,
and
Christians
also
,
with
all
these
religions
:
why
may
not
we
well
be
Mosaicks
&
Christians
,
seing
the
Moses
doth
in
nothing
repugne
Christ
but
doth
foretel
him
plainly
,
and
the
law
doth
comprehend
in
it
the
Gospell
?
All
these
reasons
so
wel
pleased
the
Cardinal
that
he
promised
to
speake
to
the
Pope
for
them
,
not
doubting
but
he
would
graunt
their
request
,
on
this
condition
the
they
would
promise
obedience
to
him
,
&
be
his
followers
,
worshipping
him
as
their
God
on
earth
.
The
42.
Apologue
,
wherin
is
shewed
the
authority
of
the
Pope
.
TWo
Romans
on
a
time
,
were
talking
together
of
the
power
of
the
Popes
;
and
one
of
them
said
that
they
as
bicars
of
Iesus
Christ
on
earth
had
all
the
authority
that
Iesus
Christ
had
:
but
the
other
said
vnto
him
,
thou
art
much
deceiued
,
for
as
here
in
Rome
the
deputy
of
the
Pope
hath
authority
onely
to
lay
hands
on
wicked
men
,
to
put
them
into
prison
,
to
binde
them
,
torture
them
,
and
finally
to
lead
them
to
the
place
of
execution
:
so
the
Pope
,
as
he
is
Uicar
of
Christ
,
hath
authority
onely
as
the
Taylor
,
executioner
,
and
very
scourge
of
God
,
to
apprehend
men
which
are
reproued
of
him
,
with
his
external
shew
of
probity
and
hippocriticall
sanctity
,
to
imprison
them
with
vowes
,
to
bind
them
with
his
commaundements
,
to
torment
them
with
his
importable
impositions
,
and
in
the
end
to
put
them
to
death
eternally
with
his
superstitions
,
Idolatries
,
impieties
,
false
indulgences
and
absolutions
:
and
moreouer
he
hath
power
as
the
Taylour
,
executioner
,
and
Uicar
of
the
great
Diuell
,
to
persecute
,
imprison
,
torment
,
burne
and
slay
the
elect
of
God
,
to
the
end
that
passing
through
the
furnace
of
persecutions
they
may
bee
the
more
replendent
,
and
glorious
in
the
sight
of
God
.
The
43.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
discouered
the
folly
of
them
which
place
their
daughters
into
Monasteries
.
THere
was
a
Germaine
Lady
,
who
hauing
many
daughters
,
and
not
wherewithall
to
marry
them
according
to
their
degree
,
bred
them
up
,
and
instructed
them
in
all
kinde
of
honesty
and
vertue
in
her
owne
house
,
and
some
of
her
friends
,
comming
on
a
day
to
sée
her
,
said
that
it
was
small
honour
and
credite
for
her
,
that
she
did
not
vse
meanes
to
place
her
daughters
abroad
,
and
that
it
were
better
to
marry
them
to
Carremen
and
Posters
,
then
to
suffer
them
to
spend
the
flower
of
their
age
in
her
house
:
The
Lady
answered
,
if
my
daughters
were
willing
to
marry
,
I
could
finde
honest
men
to
match
them
vnto
,
although
they
were
not
of
so
noble
an
house
;
but
they
are
contented
to
remaine
vnmarried
.
If
they
will
not
marry
said
her
friends
,
you
were
best
to
place
them
in
a
Monestery
,
both
to
auoid
all
inconueniences
,
as
also
for
the
honour
of
the
world
:
then
the
Lady
said
,
I
am
not
in
that
so
vnwise
as
you
,
who
keep
your
daughters
locked
vp
in
your
houses
,
while
they
be
little
and
young
,
at
which
time
they
might
without
any
danger
goe
all
abroad
,
and
afterwards
when
by
age
they
are
marriageable
(
which
is
the
tune
wherein
they
ought
either
to
bee
well
married
or
else
most
carefully
looked
vnto
)
you
put
them
into
Monasteries
,
and
suffer
them
to
goe
abroad
in
publike
.
Doe
you
thinke
that
strangers
,
Monks
,
Priests
,
and
Abbesses
can
haue
greater
care
of
your
Daughters
then
your selues
?
as
for
mee
,
I
cannot
beléeue
that
any
one
will
keep
my
daughters
more
carefully
and
faithfully
then
I
my selfe
,
and
mine
house
is
a
more
holy
and
honourable
Monastery
for
them
then
al
these
of
the
Priests
and
Monks
,
but
if
my
daughters
doe
change
their
minds
,
and
desire
to
hee
married
,
I
will
prouide
husbands
for
them
,
whereas
yours
not
hauing
the
guift
of
continence
,
doe
commit
such
things
as
turne
to
their
owne
confusion
,
and
your
great
dishonour
.
To
this
her
friends
(
beeing
vanquished
)
with
the
truth
)
could
not
tell
what
to
answere
.
The
44.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
the
folly
of
them
who
would
haue
God
painted
.
A
Certaine
Bishop
,
spake
to
a
painter
to
drawe
the
picture
of
the
Trinity
in
his
Chappell
,
which
the
Painter
promised
to
performe
,
so
that
hee
would
giue
him
a
hundred
Crownes
for
his
paines
,
and
also
pay
them
before
hand
)
alleaging
that
else
he
should
not
be
able
to
buy
colours
,
the
Bishop
hauing
granted
him
that
,
hee
also
added
that
beeing
the
Trinity
was
a
thinge
very
difficult
to
be
painted
,
hee
must
haue
the
key
of
the
Chappell
,
and
haue
none
to
sée
it
(
that
hee
might
haue
no
hindrance
)
vntill
hee
had
finished
the
worke
:
to
this
also
the
Bishoppe
agreed
,
and
caused
couerings
of
boords
to
bee
set
vppe
against
that
place
where
hee
would
haue
the
Trinity
painted
,
to
the
end
that
none
might
see
what
was
done
there
.
All
thinges
thus
ordered
,
the
Painter
with
his
tooles
and
colours
entred
euery
day
for
a
months
space
,
into
the
said
Chappell
,
and
busied
himselfe
secretly
in
painting
,
not
the
Trinitie
,
but
other
workes
of
his
owne
,
which
hée
brought
in
with
him
,
and
after
the
end
of
a
month
,
hauing
carried
forth
all
his
owne
thinges
,
and
taken
downe
the
bordes
,
hee
went
and
deliuered
the
key
to
the
Bishoppe
saying
that
he
had
finished
the
worke
,
and
that
he
had
neuer
in
al
his
life
made
any
thing
so
fayre
and
perfect
as
that
was
;
whereat
the
Bishop
reioyced
so
much
,
that
hee
gaue
him
sire
crownes
more
,
and
as
one
full
of
oftentation
and
vaine
glory
,
inuited
some
of
his
friends
to
goe
with
him
to
sée
thée
said
Chappell
,
and
so
accompanied
,
bee
entred
into
it
,
but
casting
his
eyrs
towards
the
wal
where
the
trinity
should
haue
beene
painted
,
hee
perceiued
that
there
was
no
painting
at
all
,
wherefore
in
a
great
rage
turning
himselfe
to
the
Painter
,
and
said
,
and
where
I
pray
thee
is
the
Trinity
which
thou
didst
bragge
thou
hadst
made
so
fayre
?
why
ur
?
(
said
the
Painter
)
doe
you
not
see
it
painted
in
the
ayre
?
not
I
(
said
the
Bishop
)
but
what
dost
thou
tell
me
of
in
the
ayre
,
or
not
in
the
ayre
,
I
would
haue
had
thée
painted
it
on
the
wall
,
and
not
in
the
ayre
.
At
(
said
the
painter
)
doe
not
you
know
,
that
a
man
can
paint
none
but
visible
thinges
on
walls
,
and
that
it
is
vnpossible
to
paint
inuisible
things
such
as
the
Trinity
is
any
where
but
in
the
ayre
?
the
Bishop
was
constrained
to
laugh
at
this
answer
(
although
not
well
pleased

to
leaue
the
Painter
with
his
hundred
and
sire
crownes
which
he
had
pocketed
.
The
45
Apologue
,
shewing
hew
little
the
reuerence
of
them
is
,
who
belieuing
that
Christ
is
in
the
host
doe
keepe
him
as
it
were
in
prison
.
THere
was
a
certaine
countrey
Curate
,
who
(
being
greedy
of
gaine
)
would
serue
now
at
one
Church
,
and
now
at
another
,
and
leaue
his
owne
cure
void
:
so
that
his
parishioners
oftentimes
could
not
haue
him
to
administres
the
Sacraments
,
nor
to
performe
other
necessary
duties
,
in
their
greatest
necessity
.
Wherefore
after
they
had
often
tould
him
of
it
and
saw
no
token
of
ament
;
by
the
consent
of
the
whole
Parish
,
they
shut
him
vppe
in
a
Chamber
,
and
kept
him
vnder
locke
and
key
,
that
hee
might
bee
present
to
serue
them
at
their
neede
.
But
when
the
Bishoppe
was
certified
of
it
,
hee
was
greatly
moued
thereat
,
so
that
hee
cited
the
Church-wardens
of
the
Village
to
appeare
before
him
,
and
sharpely
reprehended
them
,
but
they
,
excusing
themselues
said
that
,
that
which
they
had
done
to
their
Curate
,
was
not
to
doe
him
harme
,
but
that
they
might
haue
him
present
when
they
stood
in
need
of
him
,
what
(
said
the
Bishoppe
)
are
yee
not
ashamed
to
doe
an
act
so
worthy
of
blame
,
as
to
kéepe
your
Curate
shut
vp
as
it
were
in
prison
?
why
sir
?
(
said
the
Church-wardens
)
you
keeps
not
onely
a
simple
priest
,
but
Iesus
Christ
the
great
Pastour
and
Bishoppe
of
our
soules
,
and
the
onely
Sonne
of
the
liuing
God
,
shut
vppe
(
as
your selues
confesse
)
vnder
locke
and
key
,
in
a
little
chest
or
bare
,
to
serue
you
against
maladies
:
and
if
you
therein
doe
nothing
worthy
of
dispraise
,
haue
wee
done
ill
in
keeping
our
Curate
in
a
faire
and
spacious
Chamber
?
nay
which
is
more
,
that
Iesus
Christ
may
bee
present
at
your
néede
,
yée
kéepe
him
imprisoned
not
onely
in
a
bore
,
but
also
in
the
host
it selfe
,
wherein
hee
is
so
irrately
held
that
hee
cannot
moue
,
and
yet
yee
can
easily
(
namely
with
speaking
onely
fine
words
as
our
Curate
hath
tould
vs
)
make
him
discend
thither
,
when
yee
please
:
but
as
for
vs
,
the
words
,
admonitions
,
and
intreaties
,
which
wee
vsed
to
our
Curate
,
preuailed
nothing
:
for
though
wee
did
call
and
séeke
and
send
for
him
,
yet
oftentimes
hee
would
not
come
at
vs
.
To
conclude
,
the
Bishoppe
,
(
seeing
they
spooke
reason
)
promised
that
their
Curate
should
forsake
them
no
more
.
The
46.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
shewed
on
whom
the
Popes
Church
is
founded
.
IN
a
disputation
concerning
the
foundation
of
the
Ramane
Church
,
it
was
concluded
that
the
Pope
was
the
foundation
thereof
,
because
that
Iesus
Christ
had
said
to
Peter
,
Thou
art
Peter
,
and
vpon
this
rocke
will
I
build
my
Church
:
but
there
was
one
,
who
dissenting
from
the
rest
said
,
I
am
not
of
your
opinion
,
but
I
thinke
that
it
is
much
rather
founded
on
the
King
of
France
,
and
the
Emperour
,
for
if
they
should
become
Lutherans
,
they
would
vtterly
ruinate
the
Romane
Church
,
because
that
all
men
,
following
their
example
would
bee
Lutherans
also
:
but
it
would
not
bee
so
,
if
the
Pope
should
turne
Lutheran
,
for
in
that
case
it
were
to
bee
feared
,
that
they
which
are
Lutherans
(
by
reason
of
the
Antipathie
betweene
them
and
the
Pope
)
would
suddenly
become
Papists
.
The
47.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
shewed
the
foolly
of
them
who
giue
credit
to
the
Indulgence
of
the
Portioncula
.
THe
Capuchin
Cordeliers
,
hauing
vnderstood
that
S.
Francis
had
heretofore
obtained
of
the
Uirgin
Mary
full
remission
of
sinnes
,
for
all
those
who
at
any
time
should
goe
,
or
cause
other
to
goe
and
enter
for
them
into
a
certaine
Chappell
of
hers
,
and
knowing
that
they
could
not
doe
a
worke
of
greater
charitie
then
to
deliuer
soules
from
their
sinnes
,
on
a
day
fiue
and
twenty
of
them
went
to
that
Chappell
:
and
did
nothing
else
but
goe
in
at
one
doore
,
and
out
at
another
:
so
they
thought
by
that
meanes
they
did
euery
day
deliuer
more
then
fiue
and
twenty
thousand
from
their
sinnes
:
therefore
after
a
little
time
,
supposing
that
they
had
deliuere
all
Christians
of
their
sect
,
they
were
determined
to
enter
also
for
Turks
,
Iewes
Gentiles
,
and
Heritiques
:
But
the
Cordeliers
of
the
Obseruance
,
violently
set
vpon
them
,
and
braue
them
thence
,
saying
that
if
they
had
gone
foreward
with
their
enterprise
,
none
would
haue
come
to
the
Portiuncula
,
because
all
would
thinke
themselues
by
their
meanes
fréed
from
their
sins
;
which
would
be
a
cause
of
cooling
the
peoples
deuotion
and
by
consequence
of
withholding
their
almes
from
them
.
The
48.
Apologue
,
which
sheweth
what
the
Pope
and
Popish
Bishops
are
.
ON
a
time
there
was
a
new
Pope
created
while
a
Councell
was
held
,
and
a
friend
of
his
came
priuately
vnto
him
,
and
said
,
holy
Father
vse
meanes
to
dissipate
the
Councell
,
and
doe
not
you
trust
the
Bishops
who
are
all
Traitors
;
for
if
they
were
so
bold
to
lay
hands
on
Iesus
Christ
,
and
cast
him
out
of
the
Church
,
to
set
the
Pope
in
his
place
,
doe
not
thinke
they
will
spare
you
:
but
the
Pope
answered
,
wee
are
not
at
all
afraid
in
that
respect
,
for
wee
know
certainely
that
the
Bishops
are
so
wicked
that
they
doe
not
desire
that
an
honester
man
then
my selfe
should
be
Pope
,
and
a
worse
they
can
by
no
meanes
finde
.
The
49.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
how
great
the
Popes
authority
is
.
THe
Fathers
of
the
Councell
of
Trent
,
desiring
to
increase
the
dignity
of
the
Popedome
,
proposed
whatsoeuer
they
thought
fit
to
accomplish
their
purpose
:
and
one
of
them
said
thus
,
I
thinke
it
fit
to
bee
enacted
that
S.
Peter
be
héereafter
painted
with
three
keyes
in
his
hand
;
and
that
to
those
pictures
,
which
are
already
made
,
there
be
one
added
,
to
shew
and
declare
vnto
the
world
,
that
the
Pope
hath
not
onely
the
key
of
Paradise
,
and
the
key
of
Purgatory
,
but
also
the
key
of
hell
;
and
I
greatly
wonder
,
that
the
Bishops
in
precedent
Councells
had
so
little
wisedome
and
discretion
as
to
neglect
a
matter
of
such
great
importance
.
What
(
said
the
other
Bishops
)
shall
the
Pope
haue
authority
also
in
hell
?
without
doubt
(
answered
he
)
the
Pope
hath
more
authority
there
then
in
Paradice
;
the
other
replied
,
that
the
Pope
could
not
deliuer
the
damned
out
of
Hell
.
As
more
(
said
he
)
can
he
call
backe
those
which
are
saued
out
of
Paradice
,
although
he
haue
the
key
thereof
;
the
other
Bishops
answered
that
it
was
sufficient
hee
could
send
them
thither
,
so
(
said
the
Bishop
)
he
can
send
soules
to
the
Diuells
,
and
much
easier
too
,
then
to
Paradice
:
and
being
asked
by
what
meanes
,
hee
answered
by
his
commandements
,
articles
of
faith
,
excommunications
,
maledictions
and
bad
examples
,
and
principaly
,
(
according
to
the
Lutherans
)
by
his
false
doctrine
.
Of
all
these
things
the
Pope
was
certified
,
and
hee
was
content
to
doe
as
they
should
thinke
conuenient
.
The
50.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
condemned
the
foolish
superstition
of
Confession
.
A
Certaine
Priest
demanded
of
his
Bishop
,
whether
hee
ought
not
at
confession
to
cause
the
sinners
to
shew
the
members
where
with
they
offended
?
saying
that
as
it
was
the
part
of
a
good
Phisition
not
onely
to
heare
of
his
sicke
patient
what
his
disease
is
,
but
also
to
sée
the
soare
(
if
it
bee
possible
)
and
touch
it
with
his
hande
,
for
feare
least
hee
faile
in
the
cure
;
so
hee
thought
it
his
part
being
a
spirituall
Phisition
,
not
onely
to
bee
informed
of
the
sinnes
with
their
circumstances
,
but
also
to
behold
the
Instruments
wherewith
they
were
committed
;
then
being
asked
by
the
Bishop
whether
hee
were
not
ashamed
to
behold
the
secret
parts
of
man
?
he
answered
and
said
,
If
I
ought
not
to
be
ashamed
to
sée
with
the
eyes
of
my
spirit
(
which
are
much
more
precious
then
those
of
my
flesh
)
not
onely
the
villanies
of
men
and
women
,
but
also
their
members
wherewith
they
committed
them
,
and
if
you
haue
obliged
sinners
to
reueale
all
the
wickednes
they
haue
committed
,
why
should
I
thinke
it
shame
to
behold
those
parts
which
God
hath
made
?
It
hath
beene
ordained
(
said
the
Bishop
)
that
they
should
doe
so
,
to
the
end
that
by
the
shame
thereof
,
they
might
merit
remission
of
their
sinnes
;
and
be
moued
to
abstaine
from
the
like
afterward
:
for
the
same
reasons
(
said
the
Priest
)
ought
they
also
to
shew
the
instruments
.
But
where
(
said
the
Bishop
)
doe
you
finde
in
the
Gospell
that
a
man
ought
so
to
lay
open
himselfe
?
doe
you
not
remember
(
said
the
Priest
)
that
Christ
said
to
the
Leper
,
goe
and
shew
they
selfe
to
the
Priest
?
now
the
Priest
would
see
him
naked
that
he
might
iudge
whether
he
were
cleane
or
not
and
I
thinke
that
I
ought
to
do
the
like
,
least
I
should
iudge
amisse
Now
I
beléeue
that
you
cannot
finde
in
all
the
Gospell
any
place
so
fauorable
to
your
confession
as
this
is
to
mine
.
The
Bishop
not
knowing
what
to
determine
in
the
matter
,
carried
it
with
other
Articles
to
the
Councel
of
Trent
,
to
yéeld
the
Bishops
matter
of
disputation
,
and
said
,
that
he
thought
it
sit
to
bee
made
an
Article
of
faith
.
The
51.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
how
easily
the
Popes
followers
deceiue
the
world
.
THere
came
to
Venice
a
Cerretan
or
Pardonmonger
,
who
hauing
bought
of
the
Pope
all
his
authority
ouer
the
dead
,
did
brag
that
he
could
deliuer
soules
out
of
hel
,
and
because
many
fooles
gaue
credit
to
his
words
,
he
got
great
store
of
money
:
but
the
Popes
Legat
vnderstanding
it
,
sent
for
him
and
asked
him
where
he
got
authority
to
deliuer
soules
out
of
Hell
?
and
he
said
,
of
the
Pope
,
and
withall
shewed
him
his
Bulls
,
the
Legat
(
hauing
read
them
)
said
,
the
Pope
hath
giuen
thée
authority
ouer
those
which
are
in
Purgatory
,
and
not
ouer
those
which
are
in
hell
.
Then
the
Cerretan
said
,
you
are
a
very
hereticke
,
who
would
thus
limit
the
power
of
the
Pope
:
tell
mee
I
pray
you
is
not
God
omnipotent
?
may
not
hee
doe
what
hee
will
?
can
any
one
limit
or
bound
the
power
of
God
?
And
the
Legate
answered
no
:
so
(
replied
the
Cerretan
)
in
as
much
as
the
Pope
hath
all
the
power
of
God
,
as
his
Lieutenant
on
earth
,
none
can
bound
or
restraine
his
power
.
But
,
said
the
Legate
,
wee
read
that
out
of
hell
there
is
no
redemption
,
but
that
the
paines
thereof
are
eternall
.
Doe
not
you
know
(
said
the
Cerretan
that
there
is
no
rule
so
generall
but
hath
some
exception
?
that
which
you
say
is
to
bee
vnderstood
thus
.
That
they
cannot
ordinarily
bee
deliuered
thence
:
as
heere
in
the
prisons
of
Venice
the
malefactors
kept
therein
cannot
come
out
when
ther
will
,
notwithstanding
the
Signiory
can
set
them
at
liberty
when
they
please
.
But
(
said
the
Legate
)
what
authority
haue
you
ouer
hell
?
The
same
(
said
hee
)
which
the
Pope
hath
ouer
Purgatory
;
but
I
haue
gained
more
by
Hell
then
by
Purgatory
,
and
therefore
if
the
Pope
would
follow
my
councell
,
hee
might
quickly
fill
his
coffers
with
Treasure
:
the
Legate
asked
him
how
?
And
hee
saide
,
If
hee
would
say
that
hee
would
deliuer
Soules
out
of
Hell
;
which
might
easily
bee
done
,
if
(
only
)
in
that
place
of
his
Bulles
,
where
hee
saith
,
Deliuer
soules
out
of
Purgatory
,
hee
would
also
adde
deliuer
Soules
out
of
Hell
.
But
the
chiefe
and
principall
matter
of
the
businesse
is
,
(
said
the
Legate
)
not
that
hée
onely
say
so
in
wordes
,
but
that
they
bee
deliuered
in
déed
and
effect
.
What
(
said
the
Cerretan
)
neede
the
Pope
care
whether
they
be
deliuered
or
no
,
so
that
the
world
doth
beléeue
they
are
deliuered
?
Is
it
not
sufficient
for
him
,
that
hée
may
fill
his
Chests
with
the
gaine
which
hee
reaps
thereby
?
But
(
said
the
Legate
)
it
is
a
very
hard
matter
to
make
the
world
beléeue
that
hée
can
deliuer
soules
out
of
Hell
:
nay
(
said
the
Cerretan
)
so
much
hath
hée
blinded
and
besotted
the
world
that
it
is
a
very
easie
matter
.
Yea
if
you
well
consider
it
,
you
shall
find
that
the
Pope
shall
haue
much
lesse
labour
to
perswade
the
poore
world
that
he
can
deliuer
Soules
out
of
hell
,
then
that
he
can
frée
them
from
Purgatory
.
For
as
touching
Purgatory
,
hée
hath
two
labours
,
the
first
to
make
men
understand
that
there
is
a
Purgatory
;
the
second
to
make
them
beléeue
that
he
can
deliuer
Soules
thence
:
but
as
touching
Hell
,
whereas
euery
one
is
already
perswaded
that
there
is
one
,
there
remaineth
but
one
labour
for
him
,
which
is
to
make
men
beléeue
that
he
hath
power
to
frée
the
damned
from
their
euerlasting
torments
.
These
things
pleased
the
Legat
so
well
that
he
presently
wrote
thereof
vnto
the
Pope
.
The
52.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
condemned
the
little
reuerence
of
them
who
beleeue
that
Iesus
Christ
is
in
the
Host.
THere
was
a
Pope
,
who
had
loued
his
mother
dearely
,
I
therefore
for
a
remembrance
of
her
kept
her
Picture
alwayes
hanging
in
his
presence
Chamber
;
now
the
Embassador
of
Florence
vnderstanding
of
it
,
as
also
in
what
part
of
the
chamber
it
was
placed
,
hauing
occasion
on
a
time
to
goe
to
the
Pope
,
when
he
entred
into
the
Chamber
hee
presently
knéeled
downe
before
the
picture
,
turning
his
backside
to
the
Pope
,
before
hee
had
done
his
duty
to
him
,
and
the
Pope
very
much
disdaining
at
it
reprehended
him
for
the
little
manners
and
reuerence
he
vsed
towards
him
;
but
the
Embassador
excusing
himself
,
said
,
we
Florentines
haue
a
custome
that
when
we
enter
into
our
great
Church
of
Florence
,
incontinently
we
do
reuerence
to
the
Image
of
the
mother
of
Iesus
Christ
,
turning
our
backs
to
her
sonne
,
who
(
as
they
say
)
is
in
the
host
,
and
the
Monkes
of
that
Church
say
,
that
it
is
the
will
of
Christ
wée
should
doe
so
:
wherefore
I
thought
it
would
likewise
haue
pleased
your
Holinesse
,
that
I
should
haue
done
reuerence
to
the
picture
of
your
Mother
,
before
I
did
reuerence
to
you
.
The
Pope
laughing
at
it
,
said
,
that
indeed
hee
had
shewed
a
good
reason
for
it
.
The
53.
Apologue
,
of
the
Miracles
of
the
Diuell
.
AS
certaine
Romans
were
talking
of
miracles
,
there
was
one
of
them
said
,
when
I
thinke
vpon
Popes
,
Cardinals
,
Priests
,
and
Monkes
,
and
other
of
the
irreligious
,
their
liues
,
their
workes
,
their
credit
,
dignity
and
riches
,
I
am
almost
perswaded
that
the
Diuell
hath
done
more
miracles
then
Iesus
Christ
.
The
54.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
discouered
,
the
impiety
of
them
who
constraine
men
to
worship
Iesus
Christ
in
the
host
.
THere
was
a
Gentleman
of
Venice
,
who
would
neuer
worship
the
host
;
for
the
which
being
on
a
time
reprehended
by
the
Popes
Legate
,
hee
answered
and
said
,
I
haue
not
this
long
time
worshipped
Christ
in
the
Sacrament
,
neither
will
I
euer
doe
it
;
for
if
he
bee
present
there
at
all
(
which
I
will
presuppose
to
ease
you
of
the
labour
of
prouing
it
)
yet
as
your selues
say
hee
is
not
there
vntill
the
Priest
hath
finished
the
words
of
consecration
,
with
an
intent
to
consecrate
it
.
Now
because
hee
alwaies
speaketh
the
words
with
a
low
voyce
,
I
am
neuer
certaine
whether
he
speaketh
them
or
noe
:
againe
,
if
I
did
heare
him
speake
the
words
,
I
am
not
sure
that
hee
doth
it
with
an
intent
to
consecrate
,
especially
,
because
I
find
by
experience
that
the
Priests
are
commonly
lyers
and
dissemblers
.
Therefore
being
vncertaine
that
hee
is
in
the
host
,
and
most
certaine
that
hee
is
in
heauen
,
what
euill
doe
I
,
if
I
worship
him
in
heauen
,
and
not
in
the
host
?
for
knowing
that
the
Masse-priests
haue
very
little
faith
or
none
at
all
;
would
you
haue
me
commit
to
their
credit
a
matter
of
such
consequence
as
to
leaue
off
worshiping
of
Christ
where
I
am
assured
he
is
,
to
worship
him
where
I
altogether
doubt
of
his
presence
?
but
put
the
case
that
I
were
also
sure
that
he
is
in
the
host
,
as
I
doubt
not
that
he
is
in
heauen
:
what
iniury
should
I
do
to
Iesus
Christ
,
if
I
did
worship
him
only
in
heauen
&
not
in
the
host
?
I
doe
verily
beléeue
that
he
would
not
condemme
such
a
fact
;
yet
you
repute
me
an
heretike
for
worshipping
of
him
where
I
know
certainly
he
is
,
and
not
worshipping
him
wher
I
am
perswaded
he
is
not
.
And
an
hereticke
let
me
be
if
I
leaue
off
worshipping
him
in
heauen
,
&
begin
to
worship
him
where
you
would
haue
mee
.
And
hauing
thus
said
he
went
his
way
.
The
55.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
discouered
the
folly
and
arrogancy
of
the
Popes
Prelats
.
THe
Bishoppes
being
assembled
at
Trent
,
with
a
purpose
to
enact
somthing
beneficiall
to
the
Romish
Church
,
one
of
them
said
that
it
was
good
that
euery
one
proposed
his
opinion
therein
,
to
the
end
they
might
adde
somthinge
to
the
dignity
of
the
Popedome
,
as
Bishoppes
in
precedent
Counsels
had
done
;
but
some
answered
the
it
was
sufficient
to
vphould
and
maintaine
it
in
that
scale
of
greatnes
whervnto
it
had
already
attained
,
especially
in
these
times
wher
many
did
endeauour
to
ruinate
&
bring
it
to
distruction
;
besids
being
it
was
already
mounted
to
that
height
of
dignity
,
that
if
they
would
haue
it
vnder
heauen
they
could
exalt
it
no
higher
.
The
other
answered
,
that
it
was
their
parts
not
onely
to
preserue
it
,
but
also
still
to
indeauour
to
augment
and
exalt
it
:
for
as
(
said
hee
)
wee
who
liue
in
this
world
,
are
but
trauellers
and
possengers
,
neuer
,
during
this
life
,
attaining
to
the
wished
end
of
soueraigne
perfection
,
but
aspiring
dayly
vnto
it
:
so
in
like
manner
the
Popedome
is
not
yet
come
to
the
highest
degree
thereof
.
The
Lutherans
say
that
the
holy
spirit
taught
the
Apostles
all
thinges
necessary
to
saluation
:
but
we
hold
on
the
contrary
,
that
the
same
holy
spirit
doth
day
by
day
giue
greater
light
vnto
his
Church
,
by
reuealing
new
thinges
vnto
it
:
wherefore
wee
ought
to
hope
that
hee
will
reueale
vnto
vs
some
hidden
secret
which
may
serue
much
to
the
exaultation
of
the
Popedome
,
Then
one
of
the
most
ancient
among
them
said
,
at
the
beginning
they
who
came
to
visit
the
Bishop
of
Rome
did
kisse
his
mouth
,
as
Iudas
kissed
Iesus
Christ
;
but
after
hee
was
made
Bishoppe
of
Bishops
,
they
kissed
his
hand
in
token
of
greater
reuerence
:
after
that
beeing
made
equal
to
the
Emperour
,
whereas
hee
was
mounted
higher
,
it
was
fit
that
they
should
kisse
lower
,
and
therefore
they
did
kisse
his
knée
:
at
length
when
hee
was
ascended
aboue
the
Emperours
,
they
began
to
kisse
his
foote
(
as
they
doe
at
this
day
)
because
it
was
the
lowest
and
basest
member
of
man
:
but
as
yet
they
kisse
the
vpper
part
,
and
not
the
sole
of
the
foote
,
but
now
seeing
that
the
Pope
is
exaulted
not
onely
aboue
the
Emperour
,
but
also
aboue
Iesus
Christ
himselfe
,
I
think
it
fit
that
the
Crosse
which
hee
hath
heretofore
worne
on
the
vpper
part
of
his
shooe
,
be
hereafter
placed
on
the
sole
thereof
;
and
that
all
henceforth
who
will
doe
reuerence
to
the
Pope
,
euen
to
the
Emperour
himselfe
,
bee
compelled
to
kisse
the
bottome
of
his
foote
;
which
will
bee
a
very
great
exaultation
of
the
Popedome
;
for
wee
shall
thereby
plainly
shew
that
the
Pope
is
so
highly
aduanced
in
glory
,
that
hee
hath
troad
vnder
his
feete
the
Crosse
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
all
holy
thinges
.
Hee
had
scarcely
ended
these
words
,
before
all
the
Bishoppes
(
lifting
vp
their
hands
towards
heauen
,
and
giueing
praise
to
God
for
the
reuelation
of
so
great
a
secret
)
began
to
say
,
that
although
in
that
Councell
they
did
determine
of
nothing
else
but
that
,
and
could
profite
the
Church
by
no
other
meanes
yet
they
thought
that
they
had
well
bestowed
their
cost
and
paines
in
comming
togither
.
Wherefore
in
all
hast
they
made
it
an
article
of
faith
.
But
they
say
that
Pope
Iulius
was
not
well
pleased
with
it
,
because
hee
was
vnwilling
to
take
so
much
paines
as
to
lift
vp
his
foote
to
all
that
came
vnto
him
,
as
also
because
he
feared
that
if
he
did
lift
vp
his
foote
when
hee
was
standing
he
should
fal
downe
backward
;
so
that
the
Bishops
were
very
much
discontented
,
because
they
thought
that
they
had
neuer
made
any
decree
better
,
or
more
profitable
to
their
religion
.
The
56.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
faction
of
humane
religions
.
A
Certaine
Romane
Gent.
caused
an
enigmaticall
discription
of
the
foure
first
facts
of
their
religion
to
bee
made
in
a
fayre
house
which
hee
had
in
the
Countrey
.
And
in
the
first
place
there
was
painted
a
Monke
of
the
order
of
S.
Benet
,
with
scroles
and
writings
in
his
hand
,
and
attournies
,
proctors
,
and
notaries
round
about
him
;
who
taking
Mounsier
Monke
by
the
habite
did
drawe
him
,
one
this
way
another
that
way
,
to
shew
that
they
are
neuer
out
of
strife
and
contention
Next
there
was
a
young
Frier
of
S
Augustine
,
who
hauing
a
faire
beard
did
Kombe
it
with
one
hand
,
and
held
a
looking
glasse
in
the
other
,
wherein
hee
beheld
how
hansome
it
was
.
And
a
little
below
that
there
was
a
Monke
of
S.
Dominicke
sitting
with
a
faire
young
Damsel
on
her
knées
before
him
,
with
her
bosome
all
open
makeing
her
confession
vnto
him
;
and
hee
,
that
he
might
seems
not
at
all
to
regard
that
spectacle
,
had
his
hand
put
before
his
eyes
,
but
with
his
fingers
spread
abroad
.
In
the
last
place
was
a
Cordelier
,
who
held
downe
his
head
,
hauing
his
hood
ouer
his
eyes
,
and
his
armes
a
crosse
within
his
sleeues
,
so
that
hee
seemed
to
bee
a
Saint
;
but
out
at
one
of
his
sleeues
,
there
hung
part
of
a
roasted
Capon
which
he
perceiued
not
.
The
57
Apologue
,
wherein
is
discouered
and
reproued
the
ignorance
of
some
of
the
Popish
Prelates
.
IN
the
Councel
of
Trent
(
as
I
haue
heard
)
the
Fathers
did
discourse
of
faith
and
good
workes
,
wresting
the
Scriptures
to
proue
that
faith
was
not
sufficient
to
iustifie
vs
,
but
that
workes
also
were
thereto
required
;
And
there
was
a
Bishop
amongst
them
of
great
learning
as
they
thought
,
who
said
,
I
meruaile
greatly
that
the
Lutherans
,
dare
say
that
faith
alone
doth
Iustifie
,
seeing
that
there
is
a
text
in
the
Gospell
which
doth
manifestly
beat
downe
this
their
opinion
,
and
I
wonder
much
more
at
our selues
,
that
none
of
vs
heretofore
could
finde
it
out
;
for
by
this
meanes
we
had
long
since
shut
vp
the
mouths
of
all
the
Lutherans
,
and
constrayned
them
to
magnifie
good
workes
,
and
say
with
vs
that
they
iustifie
.
And
willing
to
reueale
it
vnto
them
,
hée
said
,
doe
yee
not
remember
,
that
it
is
written
in
the
Gospell
that
the
Apostles
being
in
a
shippe
tossed
with
a
tempest
.
Iesus
Christ
appeared
vnto
them
on
the
waues
,
and
that
S.
Peter
(
who
was
then
a
Lutheran
beleeuing
that
faith
alone
was
sufficient
to
saue
him
)
said
vnto
Christ
bid
me
come
vnto
thee
on
the
waters
?
and
that
after
Christ
had
commaunded
him
to
come
,
hee
leapt
into
the
sea
with
his
faith
,
and
was
almost
drowned
?
Yea
hee
had
been
drowned
in
deed
,
if
Iesus
Christ
had
not
miraculously
aided
him
,
and
placed
him
againe
in
the
barke
,
making
him
returne
vnto
works
and
rowing
with
the
oare
.
Wherefore
,
let
who
will
do
as
Peter
did
,
&
be
drowned
with
their
trust
in
Iesus
Christ
,
for
my
part
I
am
determined
not
to
abandon
the
little
ship
but
therein
(
for
my
better
assurance
)
to
remaine
rowing
with
the
Dare
,
and
trauelling
with
workes
,
these
his
spéeches
(
as
containing
the
reuelation
of
a
rare
and
excellent
secret
)
were
entertained
with
a
great
applause
by
all
the
other
Bishops
,
except
the
Bishop
of
Caua
,
who
said
thus
,
my
opinion
is
that
whereas
Peter
began
to
sinke
,
it
came
to
passe
not
by
reason
of
his
faith
,
but
of
his
infidelity
and
want
of
faith
.
And
therefore
Christ
reprehending
him
said
,
O
thou
of
little
faith
!
why
didst
thou
feare
?
As
if
he
had
said
,
If
thou
hadst
béene
strong
in
faith
,
thou
mightst
safely
haue
marched
vpon
the
waues
of
the
Sea
.
So
that
if
other
Bishops
héeretofore
did
not
produce
this
text
of
Scripture
to
proue
that
faith
alone
was
not
sufficient
to
saue
vs
,
it
was
because
they
did
plainely
sée
that
it
serued
nothing
to
their
purpose
.
Hée
had
scarce
made
an
end
of
speaking
,
but
a
Bishop
great
in
wealth
and
dignity
,
called
the
Greguetto
,
said
that
he
was
an
hereticke
,
for
his
words
did
sauour
strongly
of
heresie
.
Now
the
first
Bishop
(
who
was
very
angry
that
his
reason
which
hee
thought
inuincible
was
gainsaid
)
when
hée
perceiued
that
his
opinion
was
maintained
by
a
man
of
such
credit
,
hee
ranne
vpon
the
Bishop
of
Caua
which
contradicted
him
and
paid
him
by
the
beard
,
and
had
done
worse
to
him
if
the
rest
had
not
speedily
come
betwéene
them
,
and
parted
them
,
and
also
reconciled
them
one
to
the
other
,
inioyning
them
straitly
that
for
the
honour
of
the
Councell
they
should
neuer
speake
word
of
it
.
The
58.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
what
are
the
foundations
of
the
Popedome
.
IT
is
reported
that
the
Emperor
was
desirous
to
haue
three
questions
disputed
and
agreed
vpon
at
the
Councell
of
Trent
.
The
first
whereof
was
,
whether
Constantine
could
giue
Rome
,
or
did
giue
it
to
the
Bishop
of
Rome
?
The
second
,
whether
it
were
true
as
Platina
hath
written
,
that
the
Emperor
Phoca
was
hee
who
gaue
power
to
the
Bishop
of
Rome
to
be
Superior
and
chiefe
of
other
Bishops
:
and
whether
by
that
it
did
follow
that
the
power
of
the
Pope
did
depend
on
him
?
The
third
,
whether
it
were
consonant
to
reason
,
that
a
Bishop
who
ought
to
be
busied
altogether
in
spirituall
thinges
,
should
also
haue
the
gouernment
of
the
temporall
estate
?
These
questions
(
they
say
)
hee
gaue
to
the
best
learned
of
the
Lutherans
;
that
they
might
study
and
examine
them
well
,
to
the
end
they
might
come
to
the
Councell
armed
and
furnished
with
good
and
sollid
reasons
.
When
the
Pope
heard
of
this
hee
was
very
much
perplexed
with
it
,
and
therefore
proposed
this
enterprize
of
the
Emperor
to
the
Cardinalls
in
the
Consistory
,
to
know
their
mindes
therein
;
and
some
of
them
tolde
him
,
that
hee
had
no
remedys
for
it
,
but
to
hinder
the
Councell
by
mouing
new
warres
and
dissentions
in
the
Christian
Common-wealth
.
But
others
were
of
opinion
that
it
was
more
for
the
Popes
profit
to
agree
secretly
with
the
Lutherans
;
to
which
the
Pope
answered
,
we
would
willingly
yeelde
vnto
them
in
all
thinges
which
concerne
the
soule
,
so
that
they
would
suffer
our
Kingdome
and
Popedome
to
remaine
safe
and
entire

59.
Apologue
,

is
shewed
the
vse
of
the
Popes
Excommunications
.
THe
Emperour
after
the
death
of
the
Lord
Peter
Loys
,
tooke
possession
of
Placentia
as
his
owne
.
Wherefore
Pope
Paul
(
who
was
the
Lord
Loys
his
father
)
being
much
displeased
with
it
,
said
to
the
Emperors
Embassador
that
hee
would
haue
him
certifie
his
Maiesty
,
that
if
he
did
not
out
of
hand
restore
it
to
him
,
hee
would
excommunicate
him
&
publish
his
excommunication
in
the
world
:
but
the
Embassador
answered
&
said
vnto
him
;
As
fathers
to
keep
their
little
Children
in
feare
and
obedience
are
accustomed
to
shew
them
vizards
and
other
strange
sights
,
to
make
them
affraid
;
in
like
maner
your
Holines
to
keep
the
Christians
in
feare
and
subiection
,
haue
found
meanes
to
terrifie
them
by
excommunicating
,
Anathematizing
and
cursing
them
;
causing
them
to
bee
painted
with
fire
and
Diuells
round
about
them
,
and
euen
as
little
Children
when
they
come
to
maturity
and
yeares
of
discretion
,
do
no
more
stand
in
feare
of
their
Fathers
Bug-beares
:
So
the
Christians
,
(
who
thankes
bée
to
God
begin
to
open
their
eyes
)
doe
now
little
regard
your
excommunications
;
wherefore
may
it
please
you
to
vnde
rs
tand
,
that
the
Emperor
is
nothing
affraid
of
any
such
vaine
terrors
,
and
also
that
if
you
thunder
and
lighten
with
your
Excommunications
,
his
Maiestie
will
thunder
and
lighten
with
his
great
Canons
,
and
Engins
of
warre
.
The
60.
Apologue
,
shewing
the
cause
that
moueth
the
Pope
to
persecute
them
that
beleeue
in
Christ
.
ONe
asked
Pope
Iulius
the
third
,
wherefore
hée
did
so
cruelly
persecute
the
Christians
who
did
beléeue
that
faith
did
iustifie
and
saue
,
and
hee
answered
that
it
was
because
he
did
feare
least
they
would
begin
to
beléeue
in
Iesus
Christ
:
and
when
the
other
asked
of
him
,
what
euill
it
was
to
belieue
in
Christ
?
He
answered
,
that
it
would
be
his
ruine
,
and
destruction
:
for
if
they
did
once
beléeue
,
in
Iesus
Christ
,
they
would
no
more
beléeue
in
him
.
The
61.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
that
the
Popish
Absolutions
are
of
none
effect
.
A
Confessor
demanded
of
his
Penitent
(
before
hee
had
absolued
him
)
whether
hée
did
beléeue
that
God
had
pardoned
his
sinnes
?
And
the
Penitent
answered
,
that
hée
did
not
:
for
(
said
hée
)
if
I
assuredly
beléeued
that
God
had
pardoned
me
.
I
would
not
haue
come
to
you
for
your
absolution
:
then
the
Confessor
said
vnto
him
,
vnlesse
thou
doest
stedfastly
beléeue
that
God
hath
forgiuen
thee
,
I
cannot
absolue
thée
.
If
(
said
the
Penitent
I
verily
beléeue
that
I
am
pardoned
,
doe
I
beléeue
true
or
false
?
thou
dost
beléeue
that
which
is
true
said
the
Confessor
.
Then
(
said
the
Penitent
)
you
cannot
absolue
me
vnlesse
God
absolue
me
first
,
and
being
so
,
what
would
you
haue
me
doe
with
your
vaine
Absolution
?
When
hée
had
thus
said
he
departed
from
him
.
The
62.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
that
in
the
Church
of
God
there
ought
to
be
no
Pope
,
nor
Cardinalls
.
POpe
Adrian
was
asked
on
a
time
,
why
S.
Paul
speaking
of
Ministers
ordained
by
God
to
gouerne
his
Church
:
and
saying
that
hée
had
appointd
some
to
bée
Apostles
,
some
Prophets
,
some
Evangelists
,
some
Pastors
and
Teachers
,
had
not
also
added
(
as
it
was
conuenient
&
necessary
he
should
)
that
hée
had
ordained
,
that
there
should
bée
one
Pope
,
and
a
great
number
of
Cardinalls
?
and
hee
answered
that
in
the
Primatiue
Church
,
men
were
so
simple
&
grosse
of
vnderstanding
,
that
if
hee
had
named
such
kind
of
Creatures
,
they
would
not
haue
vnderstood
what
they
had
meant
.
The
63.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
the
folly
of
them
who
beleeue
they
shall
bee
saued
by
the
Masses
of
S.
Gregory
,
and
how
the
world
is
abused
.
A
Cerretan
or
Popish
Marchant
,
trauelled
about
the
Country
to
vtter
his
commodities
,
and
wheresoeuer
he
came
,
he
said
vnto
the
people
,
when
any
of
you
is
likely
to
dye
,
hee
ordaines
by
his
last
Wil
and
Testament
that
his
friends
shall
after
his
death
,
giue
a
Crowne
to
the
Cordeliers
to
say
the
Masses
of
S.
Gregory
for
him
:
but
you
do
not
consider
that
before
they
are
begun
and
ended
many
dayes
doe
passe
away
,
during
which
time
yée
must
néedes
remaine
in
the
fire
of
Purgatory
.
Now
if
yée
will
giue
mee
but
halfe
a
Crowne
for
a
man
,
I
will
assure
you
that
yee
shall
not
come
thither
at
all
;
so
that
yée
will
onely
weare
about
your
necks
continnually
a
little
crosse
which
I
will
giue
you
,
and
die
with
it
about
you
.
And
so
many
of
the
people
receiued
these
crosses
,
that
the
Masses
of
S.
Gregory
lost
their
credit
,
wherefore
the
Cordeliers
made
all
meanes
they
could
against
him
,
calling
him
a
seducer
of
the
people
and
a
preacher
of
lies
;
but
the
Cerretan
excusing
himselfe
,
said
that
hee
had
spoke
nothing
but
the
truth
.
What
?
said
the
Friers
,
will
thou
affirme
that
thou
hast
authority
to
bring
back
Soules
out
of
Purgatory
?
If
I
had
so
said
answered
the
Cerretan
,
I
would
acknowledge
my selfe
the
greatest
sinner
in
the
world
:
I
said
,
indéede
that
I
could
préserue
them
from
going
thither
,
but
I
spoke
not
a
worde
of
bringing
them
backe
thence
.
Dost
thou
presume
then
(
said
they
)
that
thou
canst
send
them
immediately
into
Paradice
?
No
(
said
he
)
then
I
were
a
foole
and
an
hereticke
;
but
I
said
that
if
they
would
weare
my
little
crosses
,
and
pay
mee
halfe
a
Crowne
a
man
,
I
would
assure
them
they
should
neuer
goe
into
Purgatory
;
and
my
reason
why
I
said
so
,
is
,
that
in
such
a
case
they
shall
be
sure
to
goe
to
the
Diuells
in
Hell
,
because
they
beléeue
they
shall
abtaine
remission
of
their
sinnes
,
not
by
Iesus
Christ
but
by
paying
halfe
a
Crowne
,
and
wearing
a
little
piece
of
wood
about
their
necks
:
If
that
you
would
take
as
great
héede
to
those
thinges
which
you
say
when
you
preach
your
Indulgences
,
Suffrages
,
Merits
,
Benedictions
Absolutions
&
Masses
of
S.
Gregory
as
haue
taken
to
my
words
,
so
many
false
and
faigned
thinges
which
would
neuer
procéede
out
of
your
mouths
,
to
the
detriment
and
ruine
of
so
many
simple
people
,
who
giue
credit
to
your
lies
,
after
that
yée
haue
blinded
their
eyes
with
your
hipocrisie
.
The
64.
Apologue
of
the
Cardinall
of
Chiety
.
THere
was
two
men
on
a
time
talking
of
the
Cardinall
of
Chiety
;
and
one
of
them
said
,
that
hee
had
a
braine
so
dry
and
hard
,
that
a
man
could
not
with
mattockes
roote
vp
the
superstitions
which
grew
there
,
much
lesse
imprint
Iesus
Christ
in
it
;
and
the
other
answered
;
It
is
no
maruaile
if
his
braines
be
so
hard
and
dry
,
for
heretofore
the
measure
thereof
did
consume
away
with
his
studying
to
bée
Cardinall
:
and
since
hee
was
Cardinall
,
to
bee
Pope
,
so
that
it
doth
wast
and
consume
continually
.
The
65.
Apologue
,
shewing
why
Pope
Paul
made
the
Bishop
of
Chiety
Cardinall
.
AFter
that
Pope
Paul
had
made
the
Bishoppe
of
Chiety
Cardinall
,
one
of
his
friends
came
vnto
him
,
and
said
that
hee
had
done
ill
,
seeing
that
the
Fishoppe
was
not
so
holy
a
man
as
the
foolish
world
was
perswaded
;
and
the
Pope
answered
,
wee
did
not
make
him
Cardinall
because
wee
iudged
him
an
holy
man
,
but
that
the
world
might
iudge
vs
holy
in
that
wee
exalt
those
which
are
commonly
thought
good
men
.
Then
his
friend
replied
that
the
Bishop
had
taught
some
Venetian
gentlemen
part
of
Luthers
doctrine
;
wee
know
that
said
the
Pope
,
and
therefore
to
bee
reuenged
on
him
wee
made
him
Cardinall
;
is
it
a
reuenge
(
said
the
other
)
to
make
him
Cardinal
?
Yes
,
very
great
said
the
Pope
,
for
whereas
the
world
before
tooke
him
for
a
Saint
,
now
euery
one
will
account
a
Diuell
:
and
wee
will
yet
make
him
more
resemble
a
brast
,
for
wee
will
not
onely
not
esteeme
or
regard
him
at
all
,
but
also
make
him
commit
a
thousand
grosse
and
absurd
errors
.
The
66.
Apologue
,
shewing
how
men
are
abused
by
the
Pope
.
CErtaine
Germanes
beeing
asked
why
they
went
not
to
Rome
as
the
custome
was
?
answered
,
that
it
was
because
they
did
no
more
giue
credit
to
the
Iubilees
and
Indulgences
of
the
Pope
,
but
onely
to
the
indulgences
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
through
faith
are
offred
by
God
,
in
all
places
and
to
all
persons
:
when
the
other
replied
that
it
were
good
to
goe
thither
,
if
for
no
other
cause
,
but
to
see
the
Cittie
of
Rome
,
which
is
so
famous
and
admirable
for
monuments
of
antiquity
:
they
answered
and
said
,
Seing
that
for
a
long
space
,
wee
haue
béene
so
blinde
and
foolish
that
wée
haue
beléeued
that
Antichrist
was
our
God
,
and
vpon
that
confidence
haue
not
spared
our
purses
to
buy
Paradice
,
wee
are
now
much
ashamed
to
goe
abroad
,
&
to
be
seene
and
knowne
to
be
Germans
.
Thr
67.
Apologue
,
wherby
is
declared
the
great
perfection
of
the
Chartreuse
Friers
.
THe
Chartreuse
Friers
doe
in
vertues
excéede
all
other
religious
men
,
which
is
prooued
,
first
,
because
they
keepe
Charity
alwaies
locked
in
their
Cloisters
for
feare
least
they
should
loose
her
,
and
neuer
suffer
her
to
enter
into
the
Hospitall
where
they
lay
their
Sicke
,
least
shee
should
bee
infected
with
their
diseases
.
Againe
,
they
neuer
suffer
dame
pouerty
to
come
amongst
them
,
least
that
being
a
woman
she
should
defile
their
chastity
.
Thirdly
,
because
they
would
not
offend
through
disobedience
,
they
kéepe
themselues
for
the
most
part
in
their
chambers
to
the
end
that
no
man
should
command
them
any
thing
.
Fourthly
,
the
greatest
part
of
their
time
they
spend
in
sléep
,
that
they
may
obserue
the
great
vertue
silence
.
Fiftly
,
they
keepe
patience
alwaie
prisoner
least
she
should
escape
them
,
so
that
there
is
none
among
them
hath
patience
,
but
hee
that
is
in
prison
.
Sixtly
,
they
eate
alone
that
they
may
lay
vp
what
they
leaue
.
Lastly
,
that
they
may
bee
humble
in
the
lowest
degree
,
they
tye
their
humility
at
their
héeles
.
The
68.
Apologue
,
wherein
is
shewed
of
what
sort
the
life
of
the
Monkes
is
.
THe
Monkes
of
S.
Benet
were
in
hand
with
a
young
man
of
a
village
neere
vnto
them
,
to
haue
him
be
their
Gardiner
:
and
he
told
them
that
he
would
speak
to
his
father
about
it
,
and
giue
them
an
answere
on
the
morrow
;
but
when
his
father
vnderstood
of
it
,
although
hee
were
a
very
old
man
,
yet
the
next
morning
hée
went
vnto
the
Abbot
,
and
made
a
great
complaint
vnto
him
,
saying
that
the
Monkes
would
marre
and
corrupt
his
Sonne
.
How
corrupt
him
?
saide
the
Abbot
.
wée
would
haue
him
bée
our
Gardiner
,
and
doe
him
good
,
and
not
harme
;
then
the
old
man
said
,
my
sonne
is
a
verie
carefull
young
man
,
willing
to
take
paines
,
and
hath
so
strong
and
able
a
body
to
endure
labour
,
that
hee
can
worke
night
and
day
,
though
his
fare
bée
but
bread
and
water
:
but
you
would
make
him
a
sluggish
and
sloathfull
fellow
,
yea
and
a
glutton
too
;
wherefore
doe
not
you
thinke
to
haue
him
,
for
althhugh
you
would
giue
him
twenty
Crownes
wages
by
the
yeare
,
and
all
the
shooes
which
hee
should
weare
out
,
yet
hée
should
not
serue
you
.
Then
the
Abbot
said
,
that
they
would
make
him
labour
hard
and
giue
him
but
moderate
dyet
.
As
it
is
vnpossible
(
said
the
old
man
)
to
bée
in
company
with
Millers
,
and
not
be
defiled
with
their
meale
:
so
a
man
cannot
frequent
the
company
of
gluttonous
,
floathfull
and
Idle
persons
,
but
hée
shall
bée
infected
with
their
gurmundizeing
,
and
sluggish
kinde
of
life
.
Moreouer
my
sonne
shall
loose
his
credite
for
euer
hereafter
,
and
neuer
get
him
any
other
Master
,
for
who
will
accept
of
his
seruice
,
when
hee
vnderstands
,
that
hee
hath
liued
with
Monkes
:
nay
,
euery
one
will
say
vnto
him
,
get
hence
,
thou
art
not
for
my
purpose
;
for
all
men
will
perswade
themselues
that
hee
is
become
a
sluggish
and
vnprofitable
person
,
and
so
hee
left
Mounsieur
Abbot
without
a
Gardiner
.
The
69.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
what
good
the
Monkes
doe
in
visiting
the
sicke
.
A
Certaine
man
hauing
learned
the
true
knowledge
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
that
his
souls
safety
did
consist
in
him
alone
,
made
his
onely
sonne
partaker
thereof
.
And
within
a
while
after
it
came
to
passe
that
his
son
fell
sicke
,
and
in
the
extremity
of
his
sicknes
had
a
con●●●t
with
the
Diuels
,
who
tempted
him
,
as
they
who
were
present
might
easily
perceiue
;
wherefore
his
friends
were
very
desirous
to
send
for
the
Monkes
to
driue
them
away
:
but
his
father
withstood
them
saying
,
that
it
was
sufficient
to
pray
vnto
God
for
him
:
notwithstanding
,
when
he
was
gone
abroad
about
some
busines
his
friends
sent
for
the
Monkes
;
who
were
no
sooner
entred
into
the
Chamber
,
but
the
Diuels
left
the
sicke
man
,
as
hee
himselfe
witnessed
;
not
long
after
his
father
returned
,
and
as
hée
was
comming
into
the
Chamber
,
hee
heard
the
Monkes
exhorting
him
to
put
his
trust
in
S.
Francis
,
and
his
meritorious
workes
,
and
in
the
absolutions
and
pardons
of
the
Pope
,
wherefore
béeing
very
angry
,
hée
tooke
the
gentlemen
by
their
frocks
and
haled
them
out
of
the
Chamber
,
as
they
were
well
worthy
:
but
his
friends
said
,
alas
,
what
do
you
meane
in
such
sort
to
thrust
out
those
holy
and
religious
men
?
who
as
soone
as
they
came
into
the
chamber
,
made
all
the
Diuels
flye
away
,
for
they
could
not
abide
in
their
presence
.
Then
the
good
old
man
answered
,
I
do
easily
beléeue
you
,
for
where
these
Diuels
are
,
all
other
are
néedlesse
and
superfluous
.
Did
not
I
heare
them
exhorting
my
sonne
to
put
his
trust
in
their
trumperyes
,
leauing
the
confidence
which
hée
ought
to
haue
in
God
through
Iesus
Christ
?
And
so
shutting
the
do
ore
vpon
the
Monkes
,
hée
exhorted
his
sonne
to
put
all
his
trust
and
confidence
in
God
alone

Apologue

concerning
the
beard
of
the
Capuchine
Friers
.
THere
was
one
maruailled
much
at
the
long
beards
of
the
Capuchin
Friers
,
and
a
man
in
his
company
tould
him
that
the
reason
why
they
did
weare
them
so
long
,
was
that
,
being
they
were
young
plants
,
they
might
through
fained
deuotion
,
and
seeming
grauity
,
take
deepe
roote
in
the
hearts
of

Apologue
,

the
folly
of
them
,
who
doe
almes
to
the
Monkes
.
A
Iacobine
preacher
on
a
time
inueighing
against
the
Monkes
,
amongst
other
thinges
.
said
thus
vnto
his
auditors
,
all
of
yee
deale
very
preposterously
and
foolishly
,
for
if
a
wolfe
at
any
time
bee
séene
in
your
fields
,
yee
presently
set
vpon
him
with
dogges
and
outcries
to
kill
him
,
or
at
least
to
chase
him
away
,
and
yet
hee
commeth
but
seldome
,
and
then
constrained
by
hunger
,
being
not
otherwise
able
to
liue
;
and
if
heedde
escape
vnespied
hee
killeth
but
one
shéepe
at
the
most
:
but
on
the
contrary
yee
kindly
entertaine
and
doe
almes
to
the
Cordeliers
of
the
obseruance
,
worshipping
them
as
Saints
,
and
yet
they
are
domesticall
wolues
,
farre
more
dangerous
then
those
which
are
wilde
:
for
although
they
can
well
liue
(
as
they
ought
)
by
their
owne
labour
,
yet
without
any
necessity
they
are
daily
at
your
gates
,
and
deuoure
not
onely
your
sheepe
,
but
also
your
Calues
,
your
poultry
,
your
bread

,

other
of
your
goods
,
and
finally
your
credit
and

The
72.
Apologue
,
by
which
wee
may
perceiue
what
are
the
Consciences
of
the
Popes
.
POpe
Paul
minding
to
giue
Parma
and
Placentia
to
his
sonne
,
proposed
his
purpose
in
the
Consistory
:
and
some
of
the
Cardinalls
withstood
him
,
saying
,
that
hée
could
not
doe
it
without
danger
of
damnation
,
and
proued
it
by
diuers
reasons
.
But
the
Pope
answered
and
said
:
If
S.
Paul
had
so
great
Charity
,
as
to
desire
to
be
an
Anathema
,
and
seperated
from
Christ
,
for
his
carnall
brethrens
sake
,
why
may
it
not
also
be
permitted
to
vs
,
to
goe
to
the
Diuell
through
charity
,
that
we
may
exalt
our
owne
sonne
?
To
this
the
Cardinalls
(
being
vanguished
by
the
authority
of
S.
Paul
)
could
not
tell
what
to
answer
,
and
therefore
they
suffered
him
to
doe
what
he
would
.
The
73.
Apologue
,
shewing
how
much
authority
the
Pope
hath
ouer
Paradice
.
POpe
Leo
bring
at
the
point
of
death
made
shew
of
great
trouble
of
Conscience
,
and
anguish
of
mind
.
Wherefore
his
Confessor
said
vnto
him
,
what
doe
you
feare
?
you
haue
the
keyes
of
Paradise
,
and
of
all
the
merits
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
there
is
none
hath
such
authority
and
iurisdiction
ouer
them
as
you
;
then
the
Pope
answered
,
do
you
not
know
that
he
which
selleth
any
thing
,
hath
no
right
in
it
after
it
is
sold
?
wherefore
I
feare
least
that
we
,
who
haue
heeretofore
sold
Paradise
,
Iesus
Christ
,
and
his
merrits
to
others
,
shall
now
haue
no
right
nor
interest
in
them
our selues
.
The
74.
Apologue
shewing
a
reason
of
the
common
saying
that
Antichrist
shall
bee
borne
of
a
Monke
and
a
Nunne
.
A
Germaine
asked
a
learned
man
,
whether
it
might
bee
found
in
the
Bible
that
Antichrist
ought
to
bee
borne
of
a
Monke
and
a
Nunne
according
to
the
common
saying
?
and
hee
answered
no
,
and
that
in
all
the
holy
Scriptures
there
was
no
mention
at
all
made
either
of
Monke
or
Nunne
:
whence
then
(
said
the
Germane
)
commeth
it
to
passe
that
this
saying
is
so
commonly
vsed
,
whereas
(
said
the
learned
man
all
men
knew
that
Antichrist
must
néeds
be
a
great
and
extraordinary
sinner
,
it
seemed
likely
and
agréeable
to
the
truth
,
that
hee
should
be
borne
of
such
persons
as
were
notorious
sinners
aboue
all
others
;
now
because
amongst
Woemen
,
none
are
so
bad
as
the
Nunnes
,
and
amongst
Men
,
none
so
wicked
as
Monkes
,
men
iudged
hee
should
bee
borne
of
a
Monke
and
a
Nunne
.
The
75.
Apologue
,
carping
at
the
ignorance
of
the
Papisticke
Bishops
.
A
Certaine
man
being
asked
what
the
two
partes
of
the
Episcopall
Miter
did
signifie
?
answered
that
the
part
before
did
signifie
the
new
Testament
,
and
that
behind
the
old
,
and
that
the
Bishops
did
weare
them
on
their
heades
,
to
shew
they
both
ought
to
bee
well
vnderstood
of
them
and
laid
vp
in
their
hearts
;
being
asked
againe
what
the
two
labels
did
signifie
which
hang
on
the
right
side
,
and
the
other
on
the
left
?
he
answered
that
they
did
shew
,
that
the
Bishops
did
vnderstand
neither
the
one
nor
the
other
of
them
.
The
76
Apologue
,
shewing
where
the
Popes
holines
lies
.
THere
was
a
man
in
Rome
which
did
mocke
at
them
who
did
call
the
Pope
most
holy
,
and
demanded
of
them
whether
hee
were
more
holy
then
Iesus
Christ
,
who
is
the
Saint
of
Saints
,
and
the
holiest
of
all
?
wée
know
well
enough
(
said
hee
)
that
hée
is
a
sinfull
man
as
we
are
,
yea
that
he
is
an
extraordinary
sinner
.
so
that
all
his
holinesse
is
in
his
heeles
;
then
(
said
another
which
was
present
)
that
is
the
reason
that
men
vse
to
kisse
his
feet
,
namely
because
his
holinesse
lies
in
his
heeles
.
The
77.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
in
what
Pope
Leo
was
a
good
Cocke
.
IAmes
Saluiaty
hauing
some
occasion
to
,
speake
to
with
Pope
Leo
,
came
one
morning
very
early
to
the
Pallace
,
and
had
much
adoe
to
get
in
to
the
Pope
,
because
the
Groomes
of
his
Chamber
were
all
asléepe
.
Yet
,
when
at
last
hee
was
got
in
,
hee
found
that
the
Pope
had
béene
vp
a
good
while
before
.
Wherefore
wondring
at
it
,
he
said
,
Holy
father
,
you
were
vp
very
early
this
morning
:
It
is
true
said
the
Pope
wee
are
a
good
Cocke
,
you
are
not
a
good
Cocke
(
said
Saluiatie
)
to
waken
your
Seruants
,
for
I
found
them
all
asleepe
;
you
are
not
a
good
Cocke
to
Crow
,
for
you
haue
a
very
bad
voyce
:
&
as
touching
fighting
you
are
not
a
good
Cocke
,
for
you
are
so
fat
and
grosse
that
you
can
hardly
goe
,
much
lesse
fight
well
:
it
remaineth
then
that
you
bée
a
good
Cocke
in
scraping
in
the
earth
as
hee
doth
,
or
else
in
satisfying
many
women
as
he
contenteth
many
hennes
.
At
this
the
Pope
laughed
heartily
,
and
confessed
that
he
had
said
the
truth
.

that
one
cannot
bee
Pope
and
an
honest
man

AFter
the
death
of
Iulius
the
second
Leo
(
although
he
were
a
very
young
man
)
was
created
Pope
▪
because
all
men
thought
him
to
be
a
holy
and
religious
man
;
but
after
he
had
béene
Pope
a
while
,
he
proued
a
notorious
sinner
,
and
a
dissipator
of
the
Churches
goods
:
wherefore
on
a
time
,
certaine
ancient
Cardinalls
reprehended
and
chid
him
handsomly
for
his
euill
life
.
And
he
answered
and
said
,
If
we
are
wicked
,
let
it
be
imputed
to
you
,
for
you
are
they
which
haue
made
vs
such
as
we
are
;
the
Cardinalls
thought
his
words
very
strange
,
and
asked
him
how
they
had
made
him
wicked
▪
then
he
answered
;
it
was
in
making
me
Pope
;
for
it
is
vnpossible
at
the
same
time
to
bée
both
Pope
and
an
honest
man
.

some
that
had
made
the
Cardinall
of
Lunes
beléeue
,
that
the
eating
of
salt
did
damage
and
impaire
the
health
of
the
body
;
wherefore
that
hee
might
liue
long
without
sicknes
,
hée
would
neuer
eat
salt
in
any
kinde
of
meat
;
when
a
certaine
man
vnderstood
of
it
,
hée
said
it
is
no
maruaile
if
the
Cardinall
of

be
a
foole
séeing

doth
neuer
eat

The
80.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
the
quality
of
the
Monasteries
.
A
Gentlewoman
of
Sienes
on
a
time
méeting
with
a
Sister
of
hers
,
amongst
other
things
,
said
vnto
her
;
I
am
much
grieued
in
mind
by
reason
of
my
Daughter
,
who
is
you
know
already
marigeable
,
and
to
tell
you
the
truth
shée
hath
so
little
wit
,
that
I
am
ashamed
of
her
;
for
so
simple
and
foolish
shée
is
,
that
one
might
easily
make
her
beléeue
that
the
Moone
is
made
of
a
gréene
Chéese
(
as
the
prouerbe
is
)
wherefore
I
am
affraid
to
marry
her
least
she
should
be
a
laughing
stock
to
all
that
come
in
her
company
.
And
her
Sister
answered
place
her
then
in
a
monastery
for
a
time
,
and
you
shall
finde
that
by
frequenting
the
company
of
Nunnes
,
and
other
young
Maides
,
shee
will
bee
changed
;
for
indéede
it
is
no
maruaile
if
she
bee
so
simple
,
séeing
that
you
kéepe
her
alwayes
lockt
vp
in
your
house
,
not
hauing
any
to
kéepe
her
company
;
now
the
Gentle
woman
,
following
the
aduise
and
counsell
of
her
Sister
,
placed
her
in
a
Monastery
,
where
she
had
not
béene
a
yeare
,
but
being
sent
for
home
,
shee
shewed
that
she
knew
more
then
her
mother
.
Insomuch
that
when
shee
met
with
her
sister
againe
,
shée
said
,
I
desired
that
it
might
raine
,
and
not
that
there
might
be
a
deluge
:
but
my
Daughter
is
of
a
little
Angell
become
a
great
Diuel
;
for
I
thinke
that
if
she
had
beene
this
time
among
so
many
Diuells
,
she
could
not
haue
learned
more
wicknednes
then
she
knowes
.
The
81.
Apologue
,
shewing
what
thing
the
Popedome
is
.
POpe
Clement
(
being
very
angry
by
reason
of
letters
which
he
had
receiued
from
England
)
sent
for
the
English
Embassadour
and
said
vnto
him
:
wee
vnderstand
that
your
king
saith
,
that
we
are
not
Pope
nor
Uicar
of
Christ
on
earth
;
then
the
Embassadour
answered
,
surely
,
Holy
Father
it
is
but
your
immagination
:
an
immagination
(
said
the
Pope
)
we
haue
a
letter
to
confirme
the
truth
thereof
.
If
it
be
so
(
said
the
Embassadour
)
it
may
be
that
the
Kings
Secretary
did
misvnderstand
him
.
Hee
that
wrote
this
(
said
the
Pope
)
hath
written
nothing
but
plaine
and
manifest
things
.
Then
the
Embassadour
said
,
it
may
bee
that
the
Secretary
did
of
purpose
write
that
which
was
false
to
bréed
discord
betwéene
your
Holines
and
the
Maiesty
of
the
King
my
Maister
.
But
the
Pope
said
,
hee
that
wrote
these
letters
is
an
honest
man
,
and
one
that
desireth
peace
and
vnity
betwixt
vs
:
perhaps
then
(
said
the
Embassadour
)
the
King
spake
these
words
in
his
anger
,
and
is
now
of
another
mind
:
that
cannot
be
(
said
the
Pope
)
for
hee
spake
them
in
the
presence
of
his
Counsell
,
and
with
good
aduice
,
for
he
added
that
it
was
the
opinion
of
all
the
learned
in
his
Realme
.
If
it
be
so
,
(
said
the
Embassadour
)
that
this
is
no
faigned
thing
,
but
that
it
was
written
by
a
man
fearing
God
,
and
faithfully
executing
the
Kings
command
,
and
that
the
King
spake
them
not
in
his
anger
;
be
you
assured
that
he
hath
spoken
the
truth
;
for
so
well
am
I
perswaded
of
the
Kings
wisedome
,
that
I
know
hée
would
not
publikely
haue
spoken
a
thing
of
so
great
importance
,
if
he
had
not
bin
certaine
that
it
was
true
.
What
(
said
the
Pope
)
will
he
take
the
Popedome
from
vs
?
perswading
his
subiects
that
we
are
not
Pope
:
then
the
Embassadour
said
,
If
you
bée
not
truely
Pope
,
the
Popedome
cannot
bee
taken
from
you
,
because
you
neuer
had
it
:
and
if
you
bee
,
although
all
England
doe
not
hold
you
to
bée
Pope
,
yet
are
you
Pope
notwithstanding
;
withstanding
:
then
(
said
the
Pope
)
wee
will
be
Pope
in
other
places
,
where
they
will
accompt
vs
sa
;
and
not
in
England
whers
they
will
not
haue
vs
Pope
.
It
followeth
then
(
said
the
Embassador
)
that
if
you
be
accompted
Pope
in
no
place
;
you
are
not
Pope
at
all
.
It
is
true
,
said
the
Pope
.
If
it
be
so
(
said
the
Embassadour
)
the
Popedome
in
it selfe
is
no
true
thing
,
but
onely
a
dreame
and
imagination
of
men
.
Wherefore
the
King
my
maister
saying
that
you
were
not
truely
Pope
,
said
the
truth
.
The
82.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
what
kinde
of
men
the
Popes
and
Popish
Bishops
are
.
THere
was
on
a
time
a
Bishoprick
of
Florence
void
;
and
a
young
man
of
the
same
place
well
knowne
to
be
a
very
wicked
man
,
made
all
the
meanes
he
could
both
with
money
and
friends
which
hée
had
at
Rome
,
to
obtaine
it
:
and
indéed
the
Pope
would
very
willingly
haue
bestowed
it
on
him
,
in
regard
that
hée
offered
great
store
of
money
for
it
,
but
hée
was
ashamed
considering
the
qualities
of
the
person
;
notwithstanding
hée
said
to
them
which
did
solicite
him
in
the
matter
,
procure
the
Lord
Duke
to
giue
vs
good
information
of
him
,
and
we
wil
confer
the
Bishopricke
on
him
.
Then
the
young
mans
friends
went
vnto
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
&
desired
him
that
it
would
please
his
Grace
to
write
vnto
the
Pope
,
and
giue
good
testimoniall
of
him
,
for
all
his
preferment
did
depend
thereon
;
and
the
Duke
answered
that
he
would
doe
it
without
lying
,
wherefore
to
satisfie
them
,
and
performe
his
promise
,
hee
wrote
vnto
the
Pope
,
that
the
young
man
was
worthy
,
not
onely
to
be
Bishop
,
but
also
to
bée
Pope
,
meaning
thereby
that
he
did
abound
with
all
kinde
of
wickednes
.
Héerevpon
the
Pope
not
vnderstanding
(
or
rather
faigning
that
hee
did
not
vnderstand
)
his
meaning
,
as
if
the
Duke
had
said
he
had
béen
a
very
honest
,
learned
,
and
religious
man
,
presently
made
him
Bishop
.
The
83.
Apologue
,
shewing
the
great
fault
of
the
Emperour
Phoca
.
THere
were
certaine
learned
men
talking
,
and
reasoning
together
of
faults
,
which
Emperours
of
Rome
had
committed
;
and
in
the
end
they
concluded
that
the
grossest
,
and
most
pernicious
fault
of
all
was
that
of
the
Emperour
Phoca
,
when
he
granted
to
Boniface
the
third
,
that
he
should
bee
Bishop
of
Bishops
;
for
thinking
to
giue
him
the
keyes
of
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
,
hée
mistooke
himselfe
and
gaue
him
the
keyes
of
Rome
,
and
of
the
Empire
.
Wherefore
it
was
Phoca
,
and
not
Constantine
,
who
did
enrich
the
Romane
Church
.
The
84.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
what
are
the
deeds
of
the
Popes
.
WHen
Leo
was
made
Pope
,
the
Florentines
made
a
great
triumph
:
because
hee
was
the
first
Florentine
Pope
;
and
at
that
there
was
a
man
of
Gennes
in
Florence
,
who
making
as
though
hee
did
not
know
the
cause
of
their
reioycing
,
demanded
of
some
of
the
Cittizens
why
they
made
such
a
great
feast
?
and
they
as
it
were
wondring
at
his
question
,
said
,
what
?
Doe
you
not
know
that
wee
haue
a
Florentine
Pope
?
Is
that
then
the
cause
(
said
the
other
)
of
your
feasting
and
reioycing
?
O
foolish
people
!
There
is
no
place
except
Rome
,
which
hath
had
more
Popes
out
of
it
then
Gennes
;
so
that
if
Popes
would
make
their
Countries
happy
,
ours
had
excéeded
others
in
happines
,
whereas
it
is
now
more
miserable
then
any
other
,
and
principally
by
reason
of
Genuan
Popes
,
which
haue
ruinated
it
,
as
Florentine
Popes
wil
ruinate
and
destroy
Florence
.
The
85.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
shewed
what
are
the
exercises
of
the
Monkes
.
A
Certaine
Proctour
of
the
law
,
being
desirous
to
become
a
Monke
of
S.
Benner
,
did
discouer
his
minde
to
some
Monkes
of
the
same
order
;
and
they
promised
him
to
speake
to
their
Abbot
about
it
,
not
doubling
but
they
should
preuaile
.
Now
when
they
did
first
commence
their
suite
,
the
Abbot
enquired
of
them
of
what
profession
the
person
was
?
And
they
answered
that
hee
was
a
Proctour
,
who
did
frequent
the
Courtes
of
Law
,
and
had
béene
exercised
in
pleading
.
Then
(
said
the
Abbot
)
let
him
not
escape
vs
by
any
meanes
,
hee
is
the
man
wee
would
haue
,
for
if
he
knowes
how
to
plead
well
,
he
cannot
choose
but
bee
a
good
Monke
,
and
so
they
receiued
and
inuested
him
.
The
55.
Apologue
,
shewing
of
what
sort
the
Monasteries
are
,
and
what
ought
to
bee
done
vnto
them
.
THere
was
in
times
past
a
Monastery
of
Nunnes
,
which
by
reason
of
factions
and
dissentions
raigning
in
it
(
according
to
the
custome
of
all
other
)
as
also
for
many
other
respects
might
very
well
bee
called
hell
.
The
Abbesse
well
knowing
it
,
on
a
day
called
all
the
Nunnes
together
into
the
Chapter
house
and
said
vnto
them
:
Yée
sée
plainely
how
miserable
our
life
is
,
in
this
place
,
where
wee
liue
as
it
were
in
a
coniinuall
hell
;
and
without
doubt
if
we
perseuere
in
this
kind
of
life
,
wée
shall
one
day
goe
to
the
other
.
Ye
know
well
that
when
wee
came
first
into
this
Monastery
,
wée
were
pure
as
Angells
,
chast
,
humble
,
deuout
,
feruent
to
call
vppon
God
,
charitable
,
and
full
of
all
vertues
:
but
thinking
to
come
hether
,
as
to
the
schoole
of
perfection
,
wee
are
become
crafty
,
proud
,
factions
,
vnchast
,
enuicus
,
disobedient
,
couetous
,
yea
filled
with
all
kind
of
impiety
;
and
yet
euery
day
wee
grow
worse
and
worse
,
so
that
without
all
hope
wée
shall
be
damned
,
if
wee
doe
not
in
time
seeke
some
remedy
.
Wherefore
I
earnestly
intreat
you
that
if
yée
know
any
meanes
to
redresse
it
,
ye
will
impart
it
to
mée
,
and
if
it
bée
good
,
I
wil
very
willingly
put
it
in
practise
.
Then
one
of
them
said
,
I
thinke
it
good
that
we
resigne
our
offices
to
nouices
,
(
who
are
Angels
in
respect
of
vs
)
and
that
wée
choose
out
of
them
,
one
to
bée
Abbesse
,
another
to
bee
Uicaresse
,
and
another
to
be
Mistres
of
the
schoole
,
and
so
,
for
all
other
principall
offices
;
and
this
wee
ought
to
yéeld
vnto
,
because
they
are
not
yet
entred
into
our
factions
,
nor
diuided
among
vs
,
but
are
pure
and
vertuous
,
so
that
wée
béeing
gouerned
by
them
may
procure
our
owne
safety
,
and
after
our
deathes
the
Monastery
will
bee
reformed
.
But
all
the
rest
opposed
themselues
against
her
,
saying
:
Truely
that
were
a
faire
matter
,
that
wee
should
become
nouices
againe
,
and
now
at
length
obey
them
which
yet
sauour
strongly
of
the
world
;
and
it
were
a
great
credit
surely
for
vs
that
the
world
should
know
that
wee
had
so
resigned
our
offices
to
nouices
;
it
is
far
better
(
if
you
would
not
haue
the
nouices
corrupted
)
that
they
gouerne
themselues
,
and
we
our selues
;
the
other
replied
,
that
so
of
one
Monastery
they
should
make
two
,
and
beside
the
nouices
should
haue
none
to
teach
&
instruct
them
in
the
Ceremonies
of
Religion
.
In
the
end
,
the
Abbesse
séeing
they
could
not
agrée
among
themselues
,
said
,
for
my
part
I
thinke
it
most
expedient
for
vs
,
that
wee
burne
the
Monastery
,
and
that
all
of
vs
returne
some
to
our
friendes
,
where
wee
may
liue
peaceably
,
and
honestly
:
this
motion
pleased
them
them
all
,
and
within
a
while
after
they
set
it
on
fire
and
departed
.
The
87.
Apologue
,
shewing
the
pride
,
couetousnes
,
and
foolish
superstition
of
them
that
say
they
can
deliuer
Soules
out
of
Purgatory
.
IN
a
Citty
of
Sicilie
,
the
Cordeliers
in
their
Sermons
to
the
people
,
said
that
S.
Francis
did
euery
yeare
on
his
feast
day
descend
into
Purgatory
,
and
deliuer
the
soules
of
all
that
had
giuen
almes
to
his
Fryers
;
wherevppon
many
men
to
be
in
the
number
of
their
Benefastors
,
gaue
them
almes
continually
,
that
after
death
they
might
be
deliuered
out
of
Purgatory
by
S.
Francis
:
when
the
Fryers
of
Saint
Dominicke
,
or
Iacobines
,
(
who
are
also
called
the
Fryers
of
the
Virgin
Mary
)
perceiued
that
by
this
meanes
,
the
peoples
almes
was
diminished
in
their
endroit
,
they
got
vp
into
the
Pulpits
and
said
,
that
the
Uirgin
Mary
,
hauing
more
charity
and
authority
then
Saint
Francis
,
did
not
suffer
them
which
had
béene
benificiall
to
her
Friers
,
to
lye
a
yeare
in
Purgatory
,
as
hée
did
but
onely
seauen
daies
at
the
most
;
for
(
said
they
)
euery
Satterdaie
(
which
is
dedicated
to
her
)
she
descends
into
Purgatorie
,
&
deliuereth
all
which
haue
béene
benifactors
to
her
Friers
.
After
this
,
many
beléeued
in
them
,
so
that
they
also
had
great
store
of
almes
.
When
the
Friers
of
S.
Augustine
(
called
also
the
Friers
of
the
Crucifixe
because
their
Church
is
dedicated
to
it
)
perceiued
this
,
they
began
to
preach
Iesus
Christ
,
and
say
that
hée
being
charity
it selfe
,
and
far
more
powerfull
then
either
S.
Francis
,
or
the
Uirgin
Mary
,
did
not
suffer
them
which
belieued
in
him
alone
,
to
enter
into
Purgatory
at
all
,
but
sent
them
immediatly
into
Paradise
.
And
after
that
,
many
did
addresse
themselues
to
Iesus
Christ
,
wherefore
the
Inquisitors
(
or
rather
Inquinators
)
of
the
faith
,
approouing
the
oppinion
of
the
Cordeliers
,
and
also
that
of
the
Iacobines
:
but
on
the
contrary
reprouing
&
condemning
of
this
the
Friers
of
S.
Augustine
,
as
false
&
hereticall
,
cited
them
to
appeare
before
them
;
&
said
they
would
haue
them
burnt
,
because
they
were
so
bould
to
magnifie
and
exault
Iesus
Christ
aboue
the
Saints
.
For
(
said
they
)
if
this
were
true
which
yée
say
,
it
would
follow
that
not
onely
the
Saints
but
also
the
Pope
himselfe
,
should
haue
no
authority
in
Purgatory
.
The
88.
Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
what
are
the
fruites
of
the
Confessionals
and
Confessors
.
A
Certaine
man
hauing
many
sons
and
daughters
did
nourish
and
bring
them
vp
carefully
:
not
suffering
them
to
frequent
the
company
of
any
out
of
his
owne
house
,
for
feare
least
they
should
be
lead
aside
into
any
kinde
of
vice
;
and
hée
himselfe
supplied
the
place
of
a
master
,
for
hée
both
instructed
them
in
good
learning
,
and
was
vnto
them
an
example
of
vertue
and
piety
;
But
it
happened
for
all
this
,
that
in
time
they
became
all
very
wicked
,
committing
among
themselues
much
dishonesty
.
When
their
father
perceiued
it
,
hée
much
wondred
and
grieued
at
it
,
and
calling
them
vnto
him
,
hee
sharply
reprehended
them
,
and
demounded
of
them
where
,
and
of
whom
they
had
learned
so
great
wickednes
?
and
they
answered
that
they
learned
it
out
of
the
booke
which
hée
gaue
them
to
studdie
in
,
and
of
the
maister
which
expounded
it
vnto
them
;
then
their
father
said
,
I
am
sure
that
I
suffered
you
to
read
none
but
honest
bookes
,
and
that
you
haue
had
noe
other
matter
then
my selfe
,
and
I
neuer
taught
you
this
dishonesty
.
Then
they
said
,
doe
you
not
remember
,
that
when
wée
were
to
make
our
confessions
,
you
gaue
vs
a
booke
called
the
Confessionall
,
commanding
vs
to
studie
our
sins
therein
?
Out
of
that
booke
wée
learned
all
the
euill
wee
know
,
and
because
wée
did
not
vnderstand
the
one
halfe
of
the
wickednes
contained
therein
,
our
Maister
,
that
that
is
to
say
the
Confessor
,
did
expound
it
vnto
vs
,
when
their
father
heard
this
,
hée
presently
cast
the
booke
into
the
fire
,
charging
and
commaunding
them
,
that
when
they
were
to
make
their
confessions
,
they
should
study
none
but
the
bookes
of
their
owne
consciences
,
and
that
they
should
neuer
after
confesse
their
sinnes
to
any
,
but
God
alone
.
The
89.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
condemned
the
pride
and
ignorance
of
the
Monkes
.
A
Carmelite
on
a
time
spake
much
in
the
praise
of
his
owne
religion
,
and
preferred
it
before
all
other
,
principally
,
by
reason
of
the
antiquity
thereof
,
saying
,
that
the
originall
of
it
was
from
Elias
in
mount
Carmell
,
whence
they
were
called
Carmes
,
or
Carmelites
;
and
also
that
in
the
time
of
Christ
there
were
no
other
Monks
or
Friers
beside
them
.
And
one
which
heard
him
,
said
then
S.
Paul
where
hee
saith
,
Periculum
in
falcis
fratribus
,
speaketh
of
you
,
seeing
that
there
were
no
other
Friers
at
that
time
,
and
consequently
your
religion
is
Iewish
,
and
not
Christian
▪
because
it
began
before
Christ
.
The
Carmelite
,
not
knowing
what
to
reply
,
departed
from
him
ashamed
.
The
90.
Apologue
,
whereby
is
discouered
and
condemned
the
ridiculous
couetousnes
,
and
superstition
of
the
Cordeliers
.
IN
Florence
the
Cordeliers
,
with
many
fayre
words
exhorted
a
Cittizens
to
hyre
them
to
say
the
Masses
of
S.
Gregory
for
a
sonne
of
his
which
was
lately
dead
,
saying
,
that
by
them
he
should
bee
deliuered
out
of
Purgatory
,
and
hee
,
making
as
though
hée
were
perswaded
by
their
words
,
said
vnto
them
,
goe
and
say
your
Masses
,
and
if
my
sonne
be
deliuered
by
them
,
as
your
promise
is
,
I
will
giue
you
a
crowne
;
so
the
Cordeliers
went
to
the
Temple
,
and
quickly
mumbled
vp
their
Masses
,
and
then
returned
to
him
for
the
crowne
,
but
hée
said
first
shewe
mée
some
token
that
yée
haue
deliuered
my
sonne
out
of
Purgatorie
and
then
I
will
giue
it
you
;
for
so
farre
am
I
from
knowing
that
hée
is
fréed
from
Purgatorie
by
your
Masses
,
that
I
cannot
tell
whether
hée
went
thither
or
no
when
hée
died
:
when
the
Cordeliers
saw
hée
would
not
satisfie
their
expectation
,
they
went
vnto
the
Duke
,
humbly
intreating
him
that
hée
would
doe
them
iustice
;
and
hée
presently
sent
for
the
Cittizen
to
come
before
him
,
and
asked
him
why
hée
would
not
pay
the
Friers
the
crowne
which
hee
promised
them
?
Then
hée
said
,
I
did
not
promise
them
absolutely
,
but
in
case
,
that
by
their
Masses
they
did
deliuer
the
soule
of
my
sonne
out
of
Purgatory
:
now
seeing
they
can
shew
mée
no
good
proofe
that
hée
is
deliuered
,
I
see
no
reason
why
I
should
giue
them
the
crowne
;
when
the
Duke
heard
this
,
hée
turned
to
the
Cordeliers
and
said
,
procure
the
soule
which
yée
haue
deliuered
,
to
come
and
tell
mée
that
he
was
deliuered
by
your
Masses
:
or
else
to
send
two
other
soules
to
testifie
vnto
me
that
it
is
true
which
yée
say
,
or
at
least
to
send
me
a
writing
subscribed
with
the
hand
of
Christ
to
confirme
your
words
,
and
yée
shall
presently
haue
the
crowne
,
otherwise
I
cannot
in
iustice
compell
him
to
pay
it
.
When
the
Cordeliers
had
heard
these
words
of
the
Duke
they
went
their
waies
hanging
downe
their
heads
and
very
much
ashamed
,
but
nothing
at
all
amended
.
The

enioy
more
worldly
pleasure
then
all
other
.
THere
were
certaine
men
talking
of
the
felicity
of
this
world
,
and
one
of
the
company
asked
the
rest
whom
they
thought
had
the
happiest
life
of
all
?
and
an
old
man
answered
him
,
that
the
Cordeliers
did
excéede
all
other
in
happines
;
for
first
(
saith
hée
)
as
touching
their
goods
,
they
are
exempted
from
all
tithes
,
impositions
,
taxes
,
charges
,
molestations
,
and
troubles
,
they
may
haue
what
they
will
,
and
yet
they
liue
in
continuall
idlenesse
.
Againe
,
they
néede
not
feare
banishment
,
seeing
that
there
are
Monasteries
euery
where
,
and
that
the
folly
and
superstition
of
the
world
is
such
,
and
so
great
,
that
they
should
bee
sure
neuer
to
want
any
thinge
concerning
their
credite
,
so
grieuous
that
if
the
viless
rogue
,
and
greatest
sinner
aliue
were
of
that
order
,
hée
should
bee
reuerenced
of
all
;
and
for
carnall
pleasures
,
man
and
wife
from
the
first
time
they
fall
in
loue
,
haue
no
greater
delight
and
pleasure
then
they
,
for
they
neuer
marry
,
that
they
may
bée
frée
from
the
trouble
,
and
charge
of
marriage
,
but
as
continuall
louers
,
wholy
apply
their
minds
,
by
pleasant
deuises
and
loue
tricks
to
win
the
loue
and
good
will
of
the
Nunnes
,
deuout
sisters
,
and
other
of
their
spirituall
daughters
,
as
they
tearme
them
.
Finally
,
if
wée
speake
of
their
consciences
,
it
is
certaine
that
they
perswade
themselues
that
they
are
perfect
Saints
,
&
that
they
can
distrbute
an
ouerplus
of
their
own
merits
to
their
benefactors
:
(
&
indeed
they
are
so
ouer
charged
with
them
,
that
if
they
did
not
disburden
themselues
on
other
,
they
were
in
danger
by
reason
of
the
great
and
horible
weight
of
them
,
to
sinke
downe
into
the
déepe
pit
of
hell
)
and
they
thinke
that
they
neuer
offend
God
,
but
iudge
themselues
the
greatest
friends
hée
hath
on
earth
,
so
that
they
passe
all
the
time
of
their
life
without
any
remorse
of
conscience
,
perswading
themselues
that
Paradise
is
their
owne
,
as
sure
as
if
they
had
it
in
their
hands
.
The
92
Apologue
,
shewing
the
superstition
of
them
that
whip
themselues
.
THere
was
on
a
time
a
Tyrant
in
a
citty
of
Italy
,
who
fearing
least
hée
should
bée
staine
by
treason
,
did
strictly
forbid
all
kind
of
Maskes
,
so
that
euery
one
for
feare
of
punishment
did
abstaine
from
them
;
but
it
chanced
that
in
the
wéeke
which
they
call
holy
,
certaine
young
men
apparelled
after
the
manner
of
whippers
,
went
(
as
the
custome
is
at
that
time
in
Italy
)
in
procession
through
the
stréetes
,
whipping
themselues
cruelly
,
to
gaine
pardon
for
their
sins
.
The
Tyrant
being
certified
of
this
,
caused
them
to
bée
aprehended
,
and
brought
before
him
,
and
then
hée
demanded
of
them
how
they
durst
be
so
bould
,
to
goe
masked
contrary
to
his
expresse
commaundement
?
But
they
answered
that
they
were
not
masked
,
but
onely
apparrelled
after
the
maner
of
those
that
whippe
themselues
.
Then
the
Tyrant
said
,
are
yée
not
masked
,
when
ye
are
so
disguised
that
no
man
knowes
you
?
And
the
whippers
answered
,
that
they
so
disguised
themselues
,
not
with
an
intent
to
doe
any
euill
thereby
,
but
to
gaine
remission
and
pardon
for
their
sins
.
If
it
be
so
(
said
the
Tyrant
)
I
hold
you
excused
;
and
that
I
may
not
hinder
but
rather
further
your
good
worke
,
and
bee
partaker
with
you
in
it
,
you
shall
goe
hence
to
all
the
Temples
in
the
Towne
,
to
gaine
pardon
for
your
sinnes
,
and
the
Beadle
shall
follow
you
at
the
héeles
and
whip
you
after
his
best
fashion
to
ease
you
of
your
labour
;
and
so
hee
commanded
that
they
should
bee
our
after
another
well
scourged
.
Thus
they
who
at
the
first
went
forth
whipping
themselues
of
their
owne
accord
,
departed
very
much
discontented
,
and
well
slashed
by
the
Beadle
.

that
the
Popes
doe
nothing
else
but
sucke
and
eat
the
Church
.
IN
the
time
of
Pope
Leo
one
asked
a
Florentine
which
came
from
Rome
,
what
he
brought
thence
?
And
hee
answered
,
good
newes
;
for
the
Pope
hath
giuen
the
Church
to
be
a
nurse
to
his
kindred
.
The

the
liberty
of
a
Councell
.
POpe
Paul
the
third
being
certified
that
the
Councell
of
Trent
was
fled
away
,
did
reioyce
greatly
for
many
reasons
,
but
especially
because
by
that
flight
the
World
might
plainely
perceiue
,
that
the
Councell
was
frée
and
not
tyed
;
for
if
it
had
béene
tyed
,
it
could
not
haue
fled
away
as
it
did
.

THere
were
certaine
men
talking
of
the
Emperors
friends
;
and
one
asked
them
who
they
thought
had
béene
his
greatest
friend
?
And
some
said
the
Prince
Dorie
,
other
the
Marques
of
Pescaire
,
other
Don
Ferrand
:
but
in
the
end
there
was
one
said
,
that
it
was
Martin
Luther
,
because
that
hee
had
opened
him
the
way
,
and
giuen
him
the
occasion
to
make
himselfe
an
absolute
Monarch
,
which
notwithstanding
hee
hath
not
made
vse
of
.
The

Apologue
,
shewing
how
Pope
Paul
repented
.
POpe
Paul
as
hee
lay
on
his
death-bed
fell
into
an
agony
,
&
therefore
was
exhorted
by
his
Confessor
to
haue
patience
,
and
to
bewaile
his
sinnes
,
recommend
himselfe
to
God
,
and
haue
stedfast
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
:
and
after
that
his
Confessor
was
departed
,
a
priuate
friend
of
his
came
vnto
him
and
said
,
holy
father
,
haue
not
these
wordes
of
such
great
importance
,
which
your
Confessor
spake
vnto
you
,
augmented
the
paine
and
griefe
of
your
heart
?
no
surely
,
(
answered
the
Pope
)
for
they
did
not
moue
me
at
all
.
The
97.
Apologue
,
which
sheweth
what
euill
proceedeth
from
bad
examples
.
A
Certaine
Gentleman
reprouing
his
sonne
,
said
vnto
him
,
art
thou
not
ashamed
to
liue
as
thou
dost
?
Thou
dost
not
lead
the
life
of
a
Gentleman
,
no
nor
of
a
Christian
but
of
an
idle
,
leaud
&
wicked
fellow
;
for
thou
dost
nothing
else
but
eate
,
drink
,
sleep
,
&
play
,
and
do
all
the
villanies
which
may
be
inuented
.
And
his
son
answered
and
said
;
Truely
Father
,
I
haue
hitherto
thought
that
I
had
liued
the
holiest
and
most
honorable
life
of
al
,
séeing
that
such
is
the
life
not
onely
of
many
Lords
and
Gentleman
,
but
also
of
Priests
,
Monkes
,
Prelates
,
and
Cardinalls
,
yea
and
of
the
Pope
himselfe
.
The

Apologue
,
shewing
what
maner
of
fellow
the
Pope
is
.
THere
were
certain
men
talking
together
of
the
wickednes
which
was
in
the
world
,
especially
of
whoredome
and
the
Patrons
thereof
:
and
one
of
them
said
vnto
the
other
,
whom
doe
yée
thinke
to
be
the
most
notorious
Band
aliue
?
And
although
for
a
time
their
opinions
were
different
,
yet
at
last
with
one
consent
they
answered
,
that
it
was
the
Pope
;
for
first
,
as
a
Band
hee
is
the
Protector
of
that
Whore
hee
kéepeth
himselfe
,
and
secondly
is
the
safegard
,
and
Defender
,
not
onely
of
one
Queane
,
but
of
more
then
fiftéene
thousands
which
are
in
Rome
;
so
that
hee
punisheth
those
which
offend
,
or
displease
them
,
and
doth
participate
with
them
in
the
gaine
which
they
make
as
appeareth
by
the
yearly
tribute
they
pay
vnto
him
.

riuers
did
runne

a
secular
said

nothing

Bennet

mocking
at

said
,
wée

the
Monks
of

Benet
answered

said
vnto

it

not

The

Apologue
,
by
which
is
shewed
what
benifite
men
receiue
by
the
spirituall
medicines
of
the
Pope
.
THere
was
on
a
time
in
a
city
of
Italie
,
a
Phisician
of
great
fame
,
who
did
not
cure
the
diseases
of
his
patients
,
but
with
certaine
syrups
and
drugges
made
them
stupide
and
sencelesse
,
in
such
sort
,
that
although
they
did
still
remaine
sicke
,
and
worse
then
they
were
before
,
yet
they
felt
no
griefe
,
but
thought
themselues
cured
;
wherefore
certaine
Monkes
reprehended
him
for
it
.
And
hee
said
vnto
them
,
yée
doe
the
like
,
for
so
far
are
yée
from
curing
those
which
are
spiritually
diseased
;
that
on
the
contrary
,
with
your
humane
traditions
,
superstitions
,
and
hypocrisies
,
yée
make
them
inwardly
stupid
,
and
vnsensible
of
their
sinnes
,
and
spirituall
sickenesses
,
so
that
when
they
,
giuing
credit
to
your
lies
,
thinke
themselues
freed
from
them
,
they
are
in
a
far
more
dangerous
estate
then
they
were
before
.
