THE
SVPPLICATION
OR
PETITION
IT SELFE
.
Most
gracious
Lords
,
WHen
Paul
came
to
preach
at
Ephesus
,
and
bring
as
it
were
the
Arke
of
God
into
the
Temple
of
Dagon
,
that
hee
might
breake
his
necke
,
it
is
said
,
the
whole
Citie
was
moued
,
and
Demetrius
a
siluer-smith
,
who
got
his
liuing
by
making
of
Images
,
raised
such
a
hurliburly
amongst
the
people
,
that
they
would
not
endure
any
motiue
for
their
conuersion
to
Christianitie
,
but
cried
out
,
Great
is
Diana
of
the
Ephesians
.
Whereupon
the
Apostle
afterward
exclaimed
vpon
them
,
that
he
had
fought
with
beasts
at
Ephesus
.
Thus
is
it
with
all
kingdomes
and
setled
gouernments
,
though
neuer
so
many
thornes
and
thistles
grow
vp
to
choke
the
good
seed
,
yet
if
there
be
a
desire
to
set
a
crowne
of
gold
on
the
Priests
head
,
and
take
away
his
rags
and
deformed
garments
,
to
bring
some
leprous
offender
to
publicke
view
,
that
it
may
be
discerned
whether
he
be
vnclean
or
no
;
to
make
the
Priests
to
cleanse
the
Temple
of
filth
and
pigeons
dung
,
as
you
reade
of
Hercules
who
let
in
the
riuer
to
cary
away
the
ordure
of
Angens
stable
;
to
search
the
vnswept
corners
of
vicious
mens
soules
;
and
in
a
word
to
reforme
the
abuses
of
a
Common-wealth
;
then
shall
some
Amasiah
tell
Amos
,
Bethel
is
the
Kings
Court
,
and
the
Kings
Chappell
,
there
is
no
preaching
there
:
then
shall
some
Prince
or
Lord
tell
Zedechiah
that
Ieremy
weakens
the
kingdome
,
and
disheartens
the
souldiers
:
then
shall
Sandolet
and
the
rest
affright
Nehemiah
,
when
hee
attempts
the
discouery
of
foule
enormities
:
in
a
word
,
then
shall
your
great
men
and
officers
,
for
feare
some
charming
arme
of
Hecate
turne
their
inside
outward
,
crie
out
of
innouation
,
sedition
,
turbulencie
,
or
some
hare-braind
spirit
.
But
,
most
gracious
Lords
,
we
beseech
you
remember
how
worthily
King
Philip
of
Macedon
entertained
a
petitioners
presumption
,
when
a
certaine
woman
kneeled
before
him
to
deliuer
a
supplication
,
he
reiected
her
suite
,
and
turned
away
in
scorne
from
her
:
the
woman
amazed
,
yet
boldly
answered
,
Then
cease
to
be
a
King
,
if
thou
deniest
to
heare
thy
subiects
petitions
.
The
King
hearing
her
voice
,
but
not
vnderstanding
what
she
said
,
returned
againe
,
and
askt
her
what
she
meant
.
The
vndaunted
woman
repeated
the
words
againe
;
and
the
magnanimous
Prince
,
not
onely
pardoned
her
,
but
tooke
her
vp
in
his
armes
,
and
as
you
shall
reade
that
Dauid
blessed
Abigail
for
keeping
him
from
shedding
of
blood
,
so
did
King
Philip
blesse
the
woman
for
telling
him
his
dutie
,
and
chid
all
the
rest
for
being
flatterers
and
parasites
.
Thus
doe
we
say
to
you
,
seeing
our
great
and
considerate
Prince
hath
now
condescended
to
call
this
high
Court
of
Parliament
to
heare
his
subiects
grieuances
,
and
redresse
the
enormities
of
the
Commonwealth
;
either
cease
to
sit
,
and
come
not
there
at
all
,
or
entertaine
our
petitions
,
and
relieue
our
discontents
.
But
because
we
will
not
affright
Israel
,
as
the
ten
explorators
of
the
land
of
Canaan
did
,
with
talking
of
Enachims
and
giants
,
of
iron
walls
and
high
towers
,
that
is
,
with
medling
with
the
Church
and
gouernment
of
the
Clergie
,
either
by
finding
fault
with
the
setled
state
,
or
proposing
vnto
you
our
maner
of
discipline
,
according
to
other
reformed
Churches
of
Europe
,
the
Confession
of
Auspurgh
,
the
Harmonie
of
Confession
,
or
other
fearfull
petitions
which
in
the
dayes
of
Queen
Elizabeth
were
presented
to
the
Councell
;
we
will
at
this
present
contract
ourselues
,
and
insist
onely
vpon
three
things
.
1.
First
concerning
Non-residents
,
and
the
ill
example
which
the
Clergie
giue
by
their
ill
liues
to
weake
and
ignorant
soules
.
2.
Concerning
the
mixtures
of
Papistrie
in
your
kingdome
,
or
conniuing
at
the
impudencie
of
such
men
,
that
with
Bels
priests
eate
vp
the
Kings
prouision
,
and
make
him
beleeue
the
Dragon
did
it
.
3.
Last
of
all
,
not
to
giue
eare
to
the
Syrens
incantations
,
but
tie
yourselues
close
to
the
mast
of
true
Religion
and
Christian
policie
,
that
you
be
not
seduced
and
brought
within
the
Panthers
reach
,
whose
sweet
sauours
and
persumes
intoxicateth
many
innocents
and
ignorants
.
First
concerning
Non-residents
,
Formalists
,
and
other
abuses
of
the
Clergie
;
if
it
please
you
to
remember
,
in
the
Law
of
Moses
,
the
malefactor
or
delinquent
in
any
kind
,
saued
his
life
if
he
could
once
take
hold
of
the
hornes
of
the
Altar
;
yet
when
the
case
was
against
King
Salomon
,
it
could
not
serue
Ioabs
turne
,
but
hee
perisht
immediatly
:
so
is
it
amongst
you
,
if
you
can
but
name
the
orders
of
gouernment
and
constitutions
of
the
Church
,
you
are
able
to
stop
any
disputants
mouth
,
to
silence
any
Preacher
;
but
this
shall
not
serue
your
turne
in
any
cause
against
the
maiestie
of
heauen
,
but
the
sentence
of
our
Sauiour
shall
be
denounced
against
any
hypocriticall
Formalist
vnder
the
Sunne
,
He
that
knowes
his
masters
will
,
and
doth
it
not
,
shall
be
beaten
with
many
stripes
.
If
againe
he
be
an
ignorant
,
oh
reade
the
prophesie
;
the
flying
booke
came
to
one
,
and
he
could
not
open
it
,
it
was
too
fast
sealed
;
it
came
to
another
opened
,
and
hee
could
not
reade
it
;
and
it
came
to
a
third
,
and
hee
could
not
vnderstand
it
.
Thus
out
of
ignorance
or
wilfulnesse
you
haue
silenced
many
worthy
spirituall
stones
of
Gods
building
,
and
traduced
those
that
could
not
endure
the
prophane
mixtures
in
religion
,
with
the
termes
of
heretiks
,
schismatiks
and
sectaries
,
termes
more
affrighting
then
Iewes
,
Turks
and
Infidels
:
for
their
misunderstanding
themselues
may
be
excused
ex
magno
inscitia
bello
,
yet
Corasim
and
Bethsaida
shall
answer
the
matter
more
fearfully
.
But
,
most
gracious
Lords
,
notwithstanding
these
calumniations
,
or
the
brand
of
malice
by
intemperate
humours
;
the
crime
of
heresie
is
not
to
be
imputed
to
any
,
whose
faith
doth
wholy
rely
vpon
the
sure
rocke
of
Gods
word
;
they
are
no
Schismatiks
who
runne
for
shelter
vnder
the
comfortable
shade
of
the
tree
of
the
Church
of
God
,
such
as
the
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
and
primitiue
Church
describe
,
or
such
as
all
the
Reformed
Churches
of
Europe
take
vpon
them
to
defend
:
nor
are
they
to
be
reputed
Sectaries
which
embrace
the
truth
alwayes
one
and
itselfe
,
and
so
impregnable
,
that
all
the
assaults
of
Satan
shall
not
preuaile
against
it
:
and
therefore
,
Right
honorable
Lords
,
we
do
here
exhibite
a
petition
vnto
you
,
so
to
order
the
matter
,
that
neither
we
be
thus
scandalized
,
nor
any
seruant
of
God
put
from
his
estate
&
maintenance
,
for
making
a
conscience
against
some
friuolous
ceremonies
,
which
are
not
things
indifferent
(
as
now
is
the
phrase
)
if
you
compell
men
to
the
obseruation
;
and
therefore
to
affright
them
with
losse
of
liuing
,
maintenance
or
imprisonment
,
is
no
brotherly
punishment
,
nor
charitable
discipline
,
doe
rather
,
as
Augustus
did
by
his
Senator
,
we
beseech
you
.
There
was
a
Romane
dwelling
in
the
great
city
,
named
Ouidius
Pollio
,
who
determining
to
invite
the
Emperour
to
supper
,
made
a
great
preparation
;
but
in
the
washing
of
his
christall
glasses
,
the
slaue
broke
one
of
them
;
for
which
he
was
condemned
the
next
day
to
be
cut
in
peeces
,
and
throwne
into
his
fish-ponds
.
The
Emperour
comming
to
supper
,
and
hearing
of
this
most
cruell
doome
for
so
triuial
an
offence
,
commanded
all
the
glasses
to
be
brought
into
his
presence
,
and
so
brake
them
to
peeces
:
This
I
doe
(
quoth
Augustus
)
to
preuent
further
mischiefe
which
may
happen
vpon
so
slight
occasions
.
Wee
will
not
apply
,
but
leaue
all
to
be
throughly
searched
and
discussed
,
and
that
for
two
causes
:
1.
The
one
,
for
that
wee
are
confident
,
you
are
able
in
respect
of
your
singular
knowledge
in
the
Scriptures
,
and
hope
you
are
willing
in
respect
of
your
honours
and
sincere
pietie
toward
Religion
,
to
convince
our
errors
by
Gods
word
,
and
discouer
our
wandrings
,
if
in
any
thing
we
be
out
of
the
way
.
2.
Secondly
,
that
if
you
find
the
testimony
&
confession
of
faith
of
honest
religious
men
agreeable
with
the
word
of
truth
,
you
will
also
agree
either
to
convince
vs
by
writing
,
or
giue
vs
leaue
to
liue
without
obloquy
or
infamous
characters
in
our
poore
and
despised
estates
,
or
not
to
clog
our
consciences
(
as
we
said
)
with
ceremonies
and
devices
of
men
.
For
,
what
said
Stephen
King
of
Poland
,
Princes
might
command
the
bodies
and
liues
of
their
subiects
,
but
not
their
soules
and
consciences
.
And
who
,
I
pray
you
,
are
our
greatest
enemies
,
but
such
as
liue
in
pomp
,
state
,
glory
,
feasting
,
with
much
aboundance
and
affluencie
;
such
as
haue
pluralitie
of
Benefices
,
are
resident
at
none
of
them
,
and
scarce
preach
once
in
a
yeare
;
such
as
are
Prebends
in
Cathedrall
Churches
,
whose
liuings
are
inordinatly
spent
vpon
a
number
of
Drones
and
deuouring
panches
,
Singing-men
,
Organists
,
Queristers
,
and
diuers
superfluous
officers
,
which
otherwise
might
be
extended
toward
the
reliefe
of
poore
schollers
and
the
true
seruants
of
God
;
and
all
this
is
the
more
lamentable
,
because
many
times
the
place
of
preaching
is
vnsupplied
,
and
when
it
is
supplied
,
you
shall
finde
at
least
a
dozen
Ministers
walking
in
your
most
frequented
Churches
without
hearing
the
word
of
God
at
all
:
to
be
briefe
,
such
are
our
enemies
,
as
neither
know
what
true
zeale
or
deuotion
meanes
,
nor
once
thinke
vpon
the
propagation
of
religion
,
or
purity
of
a
sincere
life
.
Iudge
,
most
gracious
Lords
,
whether
our
soules
are
truly
vexed
or
no
,
at
the
enormities
and
grosse
wickednesse
of
Clergie
men
;
when
amongst
you
there
are
such
couetous
and
ambitious
Preachers
that
retaine
divers
Benefices
,
offices
and
Church-liuings
in
their
hands
,
and
growing
rich
,
are
able
to
purchase
Lordships
and
Mannors
,
when
yet
you
reade
the
Levites
might
haue
no
lands
,
nor
any
sordide
commutations
of
rents
,
keep
princely
houses
and
diet
with
song
and
minstrelsie
,
their
wiues
and
children
coached
in
the
streetes
,
and
equalling
your
best
Ladies
in
habit
and
fantasticall
attire
,
feathers
,
frisled
haire
,
masks
,
fans
,
bodkins
,
and
in
a
maner
vsing
all
those
fashions
for
which
Isaiah
reprehendeth
We
could
tell
you
,
that
when
Cardinall
Woolsey
was
made
Legatus
alatere
,
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
,
Archbishop
of
Yorke
,
and
had
a
Bull
read
in
publicke
of
all
his
temporall
and
spirituall
liuings
,
there
was
such
murmuring
and
repining
among
honest
ciuill
men
,
that
they
durst
publikly
presage
his
downfall
,
and
the
Courtiers
themselues
were
amazed
at
his
wealth
.
The
like
was
spoken
of
Gardiner
,
and
Cardinall
Poole
.
And
many
in
those
dayes
shed
teares
againe
to
thinke
that
such
as
had
the
cure
of
soules
should
affect
other
offices
,
dignities
and
temporall
honors
;
and
wee
pray
God
there
be
not
the
like
corruptions
still
.
As
for
the
vanities
of
the
world
,
yea
life
it selfe
,
what
are
they
but
bubbles
and
balls
raised
out
of
a
little
niter
and
●ope
,
as
boyes
in
their
pastimes
blow
vp
with
their
quils
,
and
ere
they
be
tossed
three
times
,
they
burst
of
themselues
.
Wee
must
say
yet
further
,
that
there
are
such
Formalists
,
Temporisers
,
flatterers
,
and
meere
parasites
,
in
imitation
of
the
Courtly
priests
in
the
times
of
Israels
and
Iudahs
Kings
,
that
sundry
Chaplins
lie
watching
ouer
Gods
true
Ministers
indeed
,
and
if
they
preach
according
to
their
consciences
and
the
word
of
God
,
or
be
examined
before
hand
how
they
meane
to
dispose
of
themselues
,
they
shall
be
told
to
their
faces
that
the
text
serueth
not
for
the
times
;
nor
are
men
to
be
endured
that
dare
put
their
rude
hands
vnto
the
raw
wounds
of
the
gouernment
:
but
wee
will
be
bold
to
say
,
that
all
this
Courtly
pomp
,
large
reuenues
,
abundance
of
wealth
,
and
maintaining
of
pleasures
,
are
the
diuels
clogs
to
presse
their
minds
and
meditation
to
the
earth
and
corruptible
drosse
,
so
that
they
cannot
looke
vp
to
heauen
,
nor
affect
such
things
as
are
aboue
.
To
end
,
lest
we
neuer
end
,
many
of
these
temporising
Clergie
men
are
so
curious
,
trim
and
neate
in
their
apparel
,
with
garters
,
roses
and
shoo-strings
,
with
bootes
and
spurres
,
with
velvet
,
sattin
and
damask
cassocks
and
tippets
,
with
horse
and
coach
,
and
in
a
word
with
all
worldly
pomp
and
brauery
,
that
except
the
colour
,
no
man
can
discouer
them
from
Knights
and
Gentlemen
;
when
yet
a
Prophet
was
knowne
in
those
dayes
by
the
habit
of
a
Prophet
;
and
he
that
reades
shall
finde
that
Eliahs
leather
girdle
,
Isaiahs
nakednes
,
Ieremies
dungeon
,
Amos
neat-heards
staffe
,
Iohn
Baptists
camels
haire
,
Christs
coate
without
a
seame
,
Peters
fishing
net
,
and
Pauls
labouring
with
his
hands
,
did
far
exceed
the
proud
Priests
miters
,
or
the
Pharises
philacteries
.
Here
wee
might
adde
the
frequenting
of
publicke
Theaters
,
vsing
all
maner
of
exercises
,
gaming
,
tauernes
,
wantonnesse
,
and
such
like
,
insomuch
that
the
Apostles
,
especially
Iude
truly
presaged
what
maner
of
men
they
would
be
,
and
what
corruptions
should
creep
into
the
Church
;
yea
our
Sauiour
Christ
prophesied
,
that
for
these
and
other
grosse
impieties
,
at
his
second
comming
hee
should
scarce
find
faith
vpon
earth
.
And
thus
much
for
the
corruptions
of
your
Clergie
,
and
our
expostulation
,
that
you
will
remember
Iethro's
counsell
to
Moses
:
Moreouer
,
prouide
thou
among
all
the
people
,
men
of
courage
,
fearing
God
,
men
dealing
truly
,
hating
couetousness
.
Secondly
,
concerning
Papists
,
or
the
conniuencie
at
superstitious
Popery
,
or
coming
so
neare
the
chariot
wheeles
of
the
Strumpet
,
to
be
dashed
with
the
flingings
of
her
dirt
and
filth
;
what
is
it
but
to
bring
in
the
Syrian
idolatry
to
be
mixed
with
Samarias
bloody
husband
.
Oh
how
angry
and
incensed
was
God
at
Aarons
calfe
,
insomuch
that
Moses
in
a
great
rage
broke
the
tables
of
stone
all
to
fitters
;
and
God
himselfe
would
haue
destroyed
Israel
Would
it
not
make
a
mans
heart
to
tremble
to
heare
the
fearfull
epithites
and
characters
wherewith
the
holy
Ghost
hath
branded
Papistrie
?
and
is
not
the
Pope
proued
to
be
that
Antichrist
,
not
one
man
,
as
the
diuell
would
deceiue
weake
Christians
,
but
the
Conclaue
of
Cardinals
,
and
the
gouernment
of
Rome
,
as
it
is
now
exalted
.
Oh
reade
,
reade
,
reade
for
Gods
sake
,
There
must
come
a
departing
,
and
that
man
of
sin
be
disclosed
,
euen
the
sonne
of
perdition
,
which
is
an
aduersary
,
and
exalteth
himselfe
against
all
that
is
called
God
,
so
that
he
sitteth
in
the
temple
of
God
,
shewing
himselfe
that
he
is
God
:
and
therefore
neither
Iew
nor
Turke
,
nor
Idolater
,
but
a
meere
Christian
Prelate
,
and
should
be
a
Preacher
of
Gods
word
:
then
he
followes
with
the
mystery
of
iniquitie
,
the
reuealing
of
the
wicked
man
,
the
consuming
of
him
with
the
spirit
of
Gods
mouth
,
his
comming
by
the
working
of
Satan
,
with
all
power
,
and
signes
,
and
lying
wonders
,
in
all
deceiueablenesse
of
vnrighteousnesse
,
with
many
other
things
to
the
end
of
the
Chapter
.
What
think
you
of
Pauls
instructions
to
Timothy
,
concerning
the
doctrines
of
diuels
,
speaking
through
hypocrisie
,
hauing
their
consciences
burned
with
a
hot
iron
,
forbidding
meates
and
mariages
,
and
giuing
heed
to
the
spirit
of
errors
to
be
seduced
:
so
that
you
see
there
must
be
a
doctrine
amongst
professors
of
Gods
word
,
prescribing
things
abominable
to
the
truth
,
and
it
shall
be
perspicuous
to
the
world
,
and
plainly
reuealed
,
and
when
it
is
discouered
and
made
knowne
,
the
conclusion
followes
,
without
distinction
or
exception
,
that
it
is
the
doctrine
of
the
diuel
:
answer
then
a
Gods
name
,
you
that
must
answer
before
the
throne
of
the
Lambe
;
is
not
this
Papistrie
?
and
who
would
be
thus
defiled
?
Oh
marke
the
goodnes
of
God
when
the
guests
made
excuses
,
and
would
not
come
to
the
feast
,
the
Master
sent
about
into
the
high
wayes
and
hedges
for
the
poore
,
the
blind
,
the
halt
and
the
lame
;
yea
hee
compelled
some
to
come
,
that
knew
not
what
that
hospitalitie
meant
;
and
yet
for
all
this
,
when
hee
discouered
a
man
in
the
bride-chamber
that
had
not
on
his
wedding
garment
,
he
cast
him
forth
,
and
his
ministers
threw
him
into
vtter
desolation
:
what
then
will
become
of
Papists
?
can
you
conceiue
that
the
Popes
triple
crowne
,
his
vestments
embrodred
with
pearle
and
gold
,
the
Cardinals
bloody
scarlet
gownes
,
the
Priests
stately
and
pompous
copes
,
the
altar-hangings
of
rich
arras
,
with
all
those
proud
and
pompous
attires
,
are
wedding
garments
fit
to
come
into
Christs
bride-chamber
?
No
,
no.
It
is
true
humiliation
and
the
washing
of
our
sins
with
his
precious
blood
must
make
vs
fit
for
admission
.
What
is
Calamus
,
Benimmi
,
or
Storax
,
says
the
Prophet
,
or
a
thousand
riuers
of
oile
to
make
vs
delicately
cleane
,
and
smell
of
perfumes
,
except
the
Lord
purge
and
cleanse
vs
,
and
by
the
operation
of
his
holy
Spirit
wipe
away
our
leprous
spots
of
iniquitie
,
and
purifie
vs
by
a
new
sanctification
,
not
by
the
Purgatory
of
Papistry
,
the
intercession
of
Saints
,
the
Masses
of
Priests
,
the
merits
of
works
,
the
Indulgences
of
the
Pope
,
the
trentals
&
dirges
of
cozening
Friers
,
nor
in
a
word
the
trumperies
and
fooleries
of
processions
and
puppet
playes
.
Now
come
to
the
hammer
that
strikes
all
home
,
to
the
stone
that
pushed
the
golden
image
in
peeces
,
to
the
iron
rod
that
bruiseth
Gods
enemies
to
powder
,
the
Apocalips
I
meane
,
and
he
that
hath
eares
to
heare
,
let
him
heare
.
I
saw
vnder
the
altar
the
soules
of
them
that
were
killed
for
the
word
of
God
and
for
the
testimonie
which
they
maintained
.
Oh
the
bloody
massacres
of
France
,
and
the
crueltie
of
the
Romane
Bishops
!
oh
the
tyrannie
of
the
Inquisition
,
and
the
searches
of
Iesuites
and
Priests
all
ouer
Europe
!
oh
the
fiery
trials
&
persecutions
in
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
and
those
blood-thirsty
enemies
of
God
,
Gardner
and
Bonner
,
with
the
rest
of
Satans
instruments
,
worse
then
Adonibeseck
the
tyrant
,
who
cut
off
the
hands
and
feet
of
70
Kings
.
But
vnderstand
what
followes
both
to
them
and
all
the
rest
that
forget
God
:
And
the
Kings
of
the
earth
,
and
the
great
men
,
and
the
rich
men
,
and
the
chiefe
Captaines
,
and
the
mightie
men
,
and
the
bond-man
,
and
euery
freeman
hid
themselues
in
dens
and
among
the
rocks
of
the
mountaines
,
and
said
to
the
mountaines
and
rocks
,
Fall
on
vs
,
and
hide
vs
from
the
presence
of
him
that
sitteth
on
the
throne
,
and
from
the
wrath
of
the
Lamb.
And
he
opened
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
and
there
arose
the
smoake
of
the
pit
,
and
the
smoake
of
a
great
fornace
,
and
the
Sunne
and
the
aire
were
darkned
by
the
smoake
of
the
pit
;
And
there
came
out
of
the
smoake
Locusts
vpon
the
earth
,
and
vnto
them
was
giuen
power
,
as
the
Scorpions
of
the
earth
haue
power
.
What
is
all
this
,
and
much
more
that
followes
,
but
Popish
Priests
,
false
teachers
,
hereticks
indeed
,
and
such
as
would
eclipse
and
darken
the
glory
of
Gods
word
,
and
peruert
the
doctrine
of
holy
Scripture
.
Marke
the
rest
,
we
beseech
you
:
And
when
they
haue
finished
their
testimonie
,
the
Beast
that
cometh
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
shall
make
warre
against
them
,
and
shall
ouercome
them
and
kill
them
:
and
their
corpse
shall
lie
in
the
streets
of
the
great
Citie
,
which
spiritually
is
called
Sodome
and
Egypt
,
where
our
Lord
also
was
crucified
.
And
there
appeared
another
great
wonder
in
heauen
,
for
behold
a
great
red
Dragon
hauing
seuen
heads
and
ten
hornes
;
and
there
was
a
battell
in
heauen
,
Michael
and
his
Angels
fought
against
the
Dragon
;
And
the
great
Dragon
that
old
Serpent
,
called
the
Diuell
and
Satan
,
was
cast
out
,
which
deceiueth
all
the
world
.
And
I
saw
a
Beast
rise
out
of
the
Sea
,
with
seuen
heads
and
ten
hornes
,
and
he
opened
his
mouth
vnto
blasphemy
against
God
.
And
I
saw
three
vnclean
spirits
like
frogs
come
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Dragon
,
and
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Beast
,
and
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
false
Prophet
.
And
great
Babylon
came
in
remembrance
before
God
,
to
giue
vnto
her
the
cup
of
the
wine
of
the
fiercenesse
of
his
wrath
.
Come
,
I
will
shew
thee
the
damnation
of
the
great
Whore
that
sitteth
vpon
many
waters
,
with
whom
haue
committed
fornication
the
Kings
of
the
earth
.
And
I
saw
a
Woman
sit
vpon
a
scarlet
coloured
beast
,
full
of
names
of
blasphemy
.
Oh
reade
the
whole
Chapter
with
all
that
followeth
concerning
Romes
prophesie
,
and
then
consider
with
your selues
,
who
would
either
be
a
Papist
or
allow
of
Papistry
in
any
Christian
gouernment
:
for
either
you
must
discredit
this
prophesie
,
or
think
the
holy
Ghost
very
vnmannerly
in
these
epith●tes
and
titles
,
or
be
ashamed
of
your
profession
,
and
so
turne
to
the
Lord
(
if
be
possible
)
by
true
contrition
and
reformation
of
life
.
But
,
most
gracious
Lords
,
we
will
come
nearer
home
to
you
,
you
know
what
letters
haue
passed
from
your
Bishops
to
inferiour
Ministers
,
concerning
what
and
how
they
shall
preach
,
with
certaine
limitation
of
handsome
language
toward
the
Papists
,
that
none
of
these
fearfull
characters
in
Scriptures
shall
be
once
mentioned
against
them
:
you
know
how
the
Lord
Keeper
would
faine
haue
moderated
the
charges
of
the
Iudges
of
Assise
at
their
solemne
Sessions
and
Assemblies
,
as
if
there
were
a
full
determination
in
the
gouernment
to
repeale
all
the
Statutes
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
yea
the
King
himselfe
against
Papists
,
Priests
and
Iesuites
.
You
know
how
audacious
they
haue
been
euen
of
late
dayes
to
iustifie
their
bad
dispositions
toward
the
State
,
and
make
a
publicke
protestation
of
their
inficious
wilfulnesse
,
insomuch
that
some
of
them
dared
to
say
,
when
we
reioyced
with
bonfires
at
the
Princes
returne
,
that
they
were
sory
to
see
so
much
wood
spent
in
vain
,
for
there
would
not
be
fagots
enough
left
to
burne
the
Hereticks
in
London
.
What
then
hath
our
gracious
Soueraigne
gotten
by
this
partiall
charitie
or
conniuencie
at
Papists
;
but
at
home
a
generall
feare
lest
the
Diuell
should
lay
hold
vpon
the
latch
of
the
doore
,
and
so
take
aduantage
of
no
bodies
watching
without
;
or
their
negligence
within
,
and
politikly
enter
,
and
then
who
knowes
not
,
what
a
subtil
Serpent
,
raging
Lion
and
watching
Dragon
hee
is
?
And
abroad
,
iniurious
reports
,
that
hee
was
afraid
of
the
Popes
and
Spaines
mightinesse
,
or
durst
not
trust
his
owne
greatnesse
against
the
factious
Papists
of
England
,
if
they
should
vnite
themselues
to
any
forrein
Prince
;
when
yet
he
hath
had
experience
of
his
owne
preseruation
,
and
the
many
deliuerances
of
his
predecessor
that
famous
Queene
of
euerlasting
memory
:
for
the
hand
of
God
is
not
shortned
,
and
he
hath
still
a
cloudy
pillar
by
day
,
and
a
fiery
pillar
by
night
to
conduct
his
Israel
through
the
wildernesse
.
If
there
were
no
more
to
make
you
abhorre
Papistrie
,
then
the
martyrdome
of
the
Saints
in
Queene
Maries
dayes
,
it
were
sufficient
:
Oh
horrible
crueltie
to
haue
men
and
women
burnt
for
saying
the
Lords
prayer
in
the
vulgar
tongue
,
and
instructing
their
families
in
the
word
of
God
.
The
bloody
Bishop
Bonner
in
his
owne
person
burnt
a
poore
seruants
hand
with
a
flaming
linke
for
saying
a
part
of
a
Catechisme
:
and
to
make
the
spectacle
the
more
vgly
,
he
whipped
a
man
with
rods
in
his
garden
,
till
his
fury
made
his
owne
blood
spurt
out
of
his
paunch
.
The
rest
were
not
inferiour
vnto
him
:
for
by
a
Bishops
commandement
a
woman
with
childe
was
put
to
death
,
and
when
the
infant
burst
out
of
her
womb
,
one
of
the
guard
pitcht
him
backe
againe
into
the
fire
vpon
the
point
of
a
halbert
.
To
name
the
rest
,
were
to
write
out
the
whole
booke
;
but
for
this
and
the
rest
,
wee
end
with
the
Poet
,
Horresco
referente
.
Shall
we
step
into
France
,
and
remember
those
fearfull
times
of
Guisean
massacres
,
especially
Henry
of
Bourbons
mariage
,
when
the
Admirall
was
slaine
,
of
which
one
writes
,
that
there
was
more
blood
spilt
then
wine
drank
.
Shall
we
name
the
Leagures
Oligarchy
,
and
holy
conuention
of
Catholiks
,
when
they
had
like
to
haue
expeld
their
Prince
out
of
the
kingdome
,
and
draue
him
to
a
nooke
of
Normandie
,
the
towne
of
Deep
,
and
onely
because
he
was
or
seemed
a
Protestant
.
In
these
warres
and
times
of
wickednes
,
so
many
outrages
&
cruell
blood
sheddings
were
committed
,
that
Nero's
opening
his
mothers
wombe
was
not
comparable
.
You
reade
of
a
battell
in
heauen
,
betweene
Michael
and
his
Angels
,
and
the
Dragon
;
wherein
at
last
the
Diuell
and
all
his
complices
were
discomfited
:
if
euer
this
might
be
rightly
applied
,
it
was
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
of
whom
it
may
well
be
said
with
the
Poet
,
—
Namque
haud
tibi
vultus
Mortalis
,
nec
vox
hominem
sonat
ô
dea
certe
.
For
if
euer
the
Cherubins
spread
their
wings
ouer
the
Arke
,
the
God
of
heauen
tooke
a
charge
of
her
person
;
else
could
she
not
haue
escaped
so
many
attempts
,
so
many
enemies
,
so
many
mischiefes
,
pistols
,
poniards
,
poisons
,
threatnings
,
insurrections
,
invasions
,
curses
,
excommunications
,
hate
,
&
deadly
malice
,
all
which
arose
from
the
poisoned
spring
of
the
Papists
inventions
,
and
flowed
into
streames
of
monstrous
impietie
,
and
Popish
absolutions
for
murder
.
If
there
were
nothing
in
the
world
to
be
a
motiue
to
the
abhorrencie
of
their
religion
and
actions
,
the
Catastrophe
of
Henry
the
4.
of
France
,
surnamed
the
Great
,
would
dissolue
an
heart
of
adamant
,
and
make
men
wonder
that
some
exorbitant
vengeance
did
not
fall
vpon
the
contriuers
:
for
when
was
this
done
?
when
he
had
condescended
to
their
owne
conditions
,
the
Popes
Legat
,
and
the
Papists
intercession
;
but
Satan
hath
his
instruments
;
and
when
the
Lord
giues
vs
ouer
,
or
we
giue
ouer
the
Lord
,
we
must
endure
a
strange
alteration
.
Who
can
forget
,
or
who
can
euer
be
reconciled
to
any
adherents
of
Popery
,
when
the
Gun-powder
plot
shall
be
questioned
,
and
the
memory
of
that
Satanicall
machination
be
renewed
,
of
which
I
wil
say
no
more
,
but
answer
with
Solon
,
when
there
was
a
motion
made
for
a
law
against
parricides
,
You
see
(
saith
he
)
how
murder
is
to
be
punished
;
but
no
man
can
beleeue
that
any
dare
attempt
to
kill
his
father
:
so
treasons
,
massacres
,
slaughters
,
and
villanous
attempts
may
be
proiected
,
but
it
is
impossible
that
there
should
be
such
a
forge
in
hell
it self
,
to
hammer
out
so
vile
a
work
,
as
the
destruction
of
a
whole
kingdome
at
once
,
and
the
blowing
into
the
aire
the
Nobilitie
and
principall
wise
men
of
a
Commonwealth
.
Why
Neros
wish
was
not
comparable
to
this
,
to
haue
all
the
Senators
heads
set
on
one
necke
,
that
he
might
diuide
it
asunder
at
a
stroke
.
If
it
be
thus
,
most
gracious
Lords
,
be
iudges
your selues
of
our
poore
supplication
,
whether
it
is
not
high
time
to
roote
out
Papistrie
,
and
crie
with
Sara
,
that
the
sonne
of
the
bondwoman
should
not
dwell
with
Isaac
,
and
so
neuer
left
till
Hagar
and
Ismael
were

that

Thirdly
,
concerning
Spanish
practises
,
and
the
hate
that
all
the
nations
of
the
world
beare
vnto
them
:
for
the
generall
(
most
gracious
Lords
)
wee
refer
you
to
the
seuerall
tractates
of
many
Historiographers
,
and
the
great
experience
of
iudicious
trauellers
;
but
especially
to
Paragone
and
Nouita
Pernasso
written
in
Italian
,
to
a
letter
to
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
and
a
treatise
of
Figuira
a
Portingal
Gentleman
concerning
the
conquest
of
Portingall
,
written
in
Spanish
to
the
Figre
of
France
,
the
Cheualier
of
France
,
the
Leaguers
Oligarchy
,
and
the
Spanish
Monarchy
compiled
in
French
;
and
for
our
owne
language
,
to
Sir
Francis
Hastings
works
,
and
a
well
composed
treatise
concerning
English
fugitiues
,
with
diuers
of
this
sort
,
wherein
you
shall
see
,
quasi
digito
demonstrata
,
as
in
a
table
well
deliniated
,
the
1.

,
2.
irreligion
,
3.
tyrannie
,
4.
treasons
,
5.
ingratitude
,
and
6.
inhumanitie
of
the
Spanish
nation
,
wherein
we
hope
one
day
to
satisfie
vnderstanding
men
,
and
according
to
the
prouerb
of
Dies
dabit
quod
dies
negat
,
make
you
partakers
of
such
truths
,
that
the
best
friends
which
Spaine
hath
,
shal
confesse
the
Castilian
comes
of
goatish
barbarous
blood
,
and
all
the
rest
are
polluted
with
Mahumetan
mixture
,
and
Moorish
affinitie
.
And
although
it
may
be
obiected
against
such
an
attempter
,
Non
tu
plus
cercis
,
sed
plus
temerarius
aeudes
;
yet
iuuante
Deo
it
may
be
performed
,
and
we
will
rely
on
Mordechais
answer
to
Hester
,
that
if
she
will
not
go
in
to
the
King
to
saue
her
people
,
God
will
raise
them
vp
meanes
of
preseruation
from
some
other
part
of
the
earth
.
But
to
come
nearer
home
,
and
to
your selues
,
as
the
present
stands
;
Who
knowes
not
,
since
the
treaty
with
Spaine
,
with
what
insolency
the
Papists
haue
proceeded
both
at
home
and
abroad
;
at
home
they
haue
dared
to
publish
and
copy
deuised
pardons
,
scorned
the
lawes
of
the
Land
concerning
Recusancie
,
boasted
of
publicke
assemblies
,
set
vp
printing
Presses
in
priuate
houses
,
and
iustified
their
idolatrous
meetings
,
as
if
the
Masse
meant
to
outface
the
Gospel
of
Iesus
Christ
,
frequented
the
Embassadours
houses
with
much
immodest
iustification
of
their
Conuenticles
,
threatned
zealous
Ministers
for
their
inuectiues
against
Antichrist
;
continued
priuate
inhibitions
that
no
man
should
speake
,
write
,
preach
,
or
practise
any
thing
against
their
designes
,
insomuch
that
diuers
haue
beene
imprisoned
for
discouering
the
Spaniards
pride
and
hypocrisie
,
and
many
put
out
of
countenance
for
inuectiues
against
the
Kings
friends
,
as
the
terme
went
.
Abroad
,
I
am
ashamed
to
name
the
sundry
pictures
they
haue
published
both
in
Antwerp
and
Brussels
(
for
all
the
peace
,
and
treaty
with
Spaine
)
against
the
King
and
his
children
,
against
our
Countrey
and
Religion
,
against
God
and
his
Annointed
;
yea
it
is
wonderfull
to
reade
the
infamous
and
scandalous
lies
they
haue
exposed
,
as
if
his
Maiesty
had
gone
with
his
Councell
to
Masse
to
please
the
Pope
and
the
King
of
Spaine
,
as
is
apparant
in
Gallo
Belgico
.
What
say
you
to
●oron●
Regi●
,
a
booke
printed
in
Brussels
against
his
Maiesties
royall
person
;
an
Invectiue
against
Holland
,
by
laughing
at
her
neer
nosse
vnto
hell
,
as
being
low
ground
;
and
traducing
the
vertuous
Queene
Elizabeth
most
maliciously
;
Iohn
Kings
Legacle
Bishop
of
London
;
the
Gag
for
the
Gospell
;
the
vneasing
of
heresie
,
with
diuers
others
,
all
which
though
they
be
hellish
and
damnable
,
yet
are
sold
by
the
Diuels
factor
,
or
a
Spanish
Iohn
,
and
in
a
maner
winked
at
in
the
State
;
whereas
other
relations
tending
onely
to
the
discouery
of
errors
and
abuses
in
the
Church
,
are
not
onely
suppressed
,
but
the
authors
punished
and
imprisoned
,
to
no
other
purpose
,
but
to
discouer
our
feare
that
wee
should
be
found
guilty
in
Gods
sight
:
so
that
one
hath
beene
imprisoned
for
writing
a
letter
to
the
then
Marquis
of
Buckingham
against
the
Spanish
march
;
another
for
making
or
publishing
a
booke
,
wherein
Gondomar
apprehended
himselfe
mockt
&
derided
;
a
third
for
preaching
a
Sermon
,
Be
not
vnequally
yoked
with
Infidels
;
a
fourth
for
discouering
the
incestuous
mariages
of
the
house
of
Austria
;
a
fifth
for
reuealing
the
secrets
of
that
tyrannous
Inquisition
in
Spaine
;
a
sixt
for
applying
to
the
present
Ezechias
folly
in
shewing
the
Baby
lonish
Embassadours
the
treasures
of
the
Temple
and
the
riches
of
the
Pallace
;
a
seuenth
for
making
a
prayer
to
be
deliuered
from
all
infectious
Spanish
sheep
,
by
reason
you
had
once
a
great
rot
of
sheep
in
England
,
by
an
infectious
Ewe
brought
out
of
Spaine
;
and
diuers
others
for
putting
the
axe
to
the
roote
of
the
tree
,
and
applying
other
texts
contrary
,
to
your
Bishops
minds
,
and
some
other
Lords
who
affected
Spaines
greatnesse
.
But
such
is
your
misfortune
(
〈…〉
p●o●●●nely
abuse
Gods
prouidence
with
such
●
cha●●cte●
)
or
the
malignitie
of
time
,
that
hauing
two
fac●t●
and
befitting
pictures
,
as
your
aduersaries
deserued
,
they
were
both
suppressed
,
the
plates
cut
in
p●eces
,
and
the
sellers
imprisoned
;
one
was
of
the
Kings
holding
the
Pope●
nose
to
a
grind
stone
▪
with
the
two
Archbishops
turning
the
same
▪
another
was
made
by
Mr
Ward
of
Ipswich
,
concerning
88.
and
the
powder
treason
,
and
both
for
Gods
glory
and
Englands
honour
;
yet
neither
they
nor
any
thing
else
against
the
Pope
or
Spaine
would
be
to
era●ed
:
yea
when
your
reuerend
and
honorable
Archbishop
▪
whose
Statue
deserues
to
be
set
vp
in
gold
,
proued
the
Lords
Champion
against
some
Papisticall
motiues
,
and
mixtures
to
be
made
amongst
you
,
some
prophane
tongue
calld
him
Puritan
Bishop
,
and
wicked
stomacks
belched
contradiction
in
his
face
:
but
we
will
vrge
this
matter
no
further
,
onely
pray
that
God
will
protect
such
as
protect
true
Religion
;
and
assure
your
Honours
,
that
the
Spirit
of
God
will
make
them
of
the
synagogue
of
Satan
,
which
call
Wee
could
name
other
seuerall
conferences
and
disputations
since
this
treaty
with
Spaine
,
of
which
with
diuellish
arrogancie
they
haue
boasted
that
Fisher
the
Iesuite
so
preuailed
against
Doctor
White
,
that
many
hearers
turned
Catholicks
;
and
how
the
illuminations
of
the
Priests
were
diuine
from
heauen
,
and
the
Papists
Preachers
had
an
Euangelicall
spirit
:
oh
horrible
impudencie
,
and
Spanish
blasphemie
!
Wee
will
not
be
preiudicate
(
most
honorable
Lords
)
and
say
,
it
was
a
iudgement
of
God
in
that
fatall
Vosper
of
the
Blackfriers
,
to
kill
a
hundred
people
with
the
fall
of
a
loft
,
and
giue
you
all
warning
,
that
God
will
not
be
mocked
,
that
blasphemies
shall
be
reuenged
,
that
there
is
no
such
enemy
to
God
and
his
Church
as
apostacie
:
but
wee
will
be
bold
to
tell
you
,
that
this
disaster
is
turned
vpon
your
owne
heads
;
for
at
Rome
there
hath
been
solemne
Procession
,
and
from
Rome
letters
of
discouery
,
that
in
England
God
hath
beene
so
angrie
with
the
hereticks
,
(
meaning
the
Protestants
)
that
Churches
and
lofts
haue
ouerwhelmed
many
of
them
in
their
ominous
falls
.
If
the
diuell
now
be
the
father
of
lies
,
who
could
inuent
such
vntruths
?
You
had
a
tempest
of
lightning
and
thunder
in
Iuly
last
,
and
it
spared
not
the
gate-house
in
the
Pallace
of
Saint
Iames
,
we
will
not
say
,
it
was
to
chide
you
for
building
a
Chappell
to
Idolatry
,
and
swearing
to
strange
articles
for
the
pleasure
of
the
Spaniard
;
but
may
affirme
,
that
if
any
Bishop
was
consenting
to
such
a
worke
,
is
it
any
other
then
when
the
Leuite
became
Priest
to
Micha
,
and
consecrated
his
idoll
.
Come
,
come
,
be
not
deceiued
;
if
God
be
God
let
him
be
God
;
if
Baal
be
God
,
serue
him
:
and
if
Spaine
will
match
with
England
,
let
it
be
done
without
fearfull
conclusions
;
and
be
not
ouermatched
with
a
prodigious
treaty
.
We
are
the
bolder
(
most
gracious
Lords
)
to
enter
into
these
termes
with
you
,
and
to
prostrate
our selues
before
the
throne
of
our
dread
Soueraigne
,
with
teares
in
our
eyes
and
drops
of
blood
from
our
heart
,
because
we
desire
that
he
would
but
consider
the
many
and
sundry
inconveniences
the
Country
hath
endured
since
the
peace
with
Spaine
;
and
with
what
particulars
of
disgraces
and
scorne
,
wee
haue
all
been
branded
since
this
last
treaty
about
a
mariage
:
let
vs
then
craue
pardon
,
great
Lords
,
if
we
make
a
mixture
of
triuiall
and
solid
businesse
together
,
or
are
carelesse
of
method
,
precedencie
of
time
,
or
not
ranking
the
most
eminent
things
in
the
first
place
;
shall
wee
begin
with
the
complaints
of
the
whole
Land
,
the
swarming
and
increase
of
the
poore
,
the
decay
of
trades
,
insomuch
that
in
London
there
are
at
least
a
thousand
seuerall
houses
to
be
let
,
and
in
the
principal
streets
inferiour
occupations
are
intruded
,
to
the
disgrace
of
that
great
and
famous
Citie
;
the
exportation
of
our
gold
,
the
carying
away
of
our
ordnance
,
the
anticipation
of
the
benefit
of
our
Virginia
commodities
,
by
selling
vnderhand
Spanish
Tobacco
,
and
such
like
;
and
the
slack
eventing
of
our
cloth
and
cottons
,
by
reason
Spaine
and
Italy
haue
proclaimed
inhibitions
for
bringing
in
any
English
cloth
or
woollen
clothes
amongst
them
?
Shall
wee
follow
with
the
losse
of
the
Palatinate
,
the
slighting
of
our
Embassadours
in
Germany
,
the
hazard
of
the
Kings
children
in
Prague
,
the
bereauing
them
of
their
inheritance
,
the
bestowing
the
Electorship
vpon
Bauaria
,
and
all
those
perils
and
indignities
wee
haue
endured
about
that
warre
,
when
yet
we
were
made
to
beleeue
there
should
be
a
more
tractable
composition
or
orderly
course
taken
,
if
we
would
defist
from
the
prosecution
?
Shall
wee
continue
with
your
disgraces
at
home
?
how
euer
many
gracious
things
haue
been
published
to
reconcile
the
peoples
opinion
to
the
affecting
the
Spanish
match
,
all
which
haue
yet
had
the
misfortune
of
diuerting
them
from
it
,
either
as
disallowing
the
pamphlets
that
haue
been
that
way
written
,
or
esteeming
them
too
triuiall
,
and
onely
common
tricks
to
get
mony
.
With
what
scorne
did
a
supposed
Spanish
mad
man
aduance
himselfe
into
the
Chaire
of
Estate
in
the
presence
at
White-hall
,
and
was
onely
dismist
with
a
iest
from
Gondomar
,
and
a
shipping
out
of
England
?
Was
there
euer
such
an
abuse
offered
to
a
Kings
house
,
as
the
cutting
of
his
pictures
in
the
princely
gallery
,
when
certaine
Spaniards
were
so
kindly
entertained
to
be
admitted
into
such
priuat
rooms
?
Who
could
haue
had
better
welcome
then
that
counterfet
fugitiue
the
Archbishop
of
Spalato
?
and
yet
in
requitall
he
preached
publickly
in
the
Mercers
Chappell
,
that
the
Church
of
Rome
was
a
true
Church
of
God
;
and
in
priuate
conference
argued
as
if
the
Ecclesiasticall
gouernment
of
England
was
but
a
mongrell
Papistry
.
How
did
Gondomar
couzen
our
hospitalitie
,
and
abuse
his
Maiesties
fauor
?
for
after
he
and
his
Priests
had
been
welcomed
to
many
noble
houses
in
England
,
and
discouered
the
Ladies
humors
or
dotage
vpon
their
Iesuites
,
after
he
had
fraughted
himselfe
with
the
knowledge
of
our
kingdome
,
and
diued
(
as
it
were
)
into
the
arcana
regni
;
after
he
had
drawne
on
the
net
of
political
enforcement
,
concerning
the
profit
and
honour
of
both
Nations
by
this
match
,
with
the
iocundity
of
the
Princes
in
their
vnion
;
and
penselled
out
the
excellencies
of
the
Infanta
Maria
:
after
,
we
say
,
that
hee
had
as
it
were
made
a
faction
in
England
,
and
knew
by
name
who
were
Hispaniolized
,
and
for
their
priuate
ends
(
as
all
temporisers
do
)
neglected
the
publicke
good
either
of
Church
or
Common-wealth
.
With
what
a
iollitie
did
hee
returne
into
Spaine
,
and
boasted
there
how
easie
it
was
to
deceiue
your
simplicitie
,
insomuch
that
wee
in
Scotland
heard
more
particulars
then
you
in
England
,
that
his
arguments
were
but
Elo●chi
,
and
wished
in
our
hearts
his
wisedom
might
proue
Ahitophels
,
and
his
deuices
like
Perillus
bull
,
of
whom
Phallaris
for
his
inuention
made
the
first
triall
.
Shall
we
prosecute
other
matters
?
was
it
well
done
,
thinke
you
,
to
compose
that
booke
of
Rosa
Hispanioa
,
and
Anglicum
punicum
,
and
expose
it
to
publike
view
,
with
an
idolatrous
and
blasphemous
frontispeece
,
Christ
comming
from
heauen
to
marrie
them
,
when
he
himselfe
had
cursed
Israel
if
they
matched
with
the
Canaanites
,
and
Nehemiah
with
pulling
their
haire
from
their
heads
,
made
the
people
put
away
their
idolatrous
wiues
;
and
for
the
booke
it selfe
,
the
wiser
and
iudicious
sort
not
onely
derided
it
for
the
phrase
and
fantasticall
title
vnto
as
fantasticall
a
man
,
but
for
the
substance
and
examples
which
might
be
euery
way
,
and
euery
one
retorted
against
the
other
:
and
for
the
frontispeece
,
the
very
women
in
Edenborugh
haue
made
good
sport
to
heare
of
the
iests
that
haue
beene
contriued
vpon
it
.
At
the
first
,
when
a
certaine
man
demanded
whom
those
pictures
did
personate
,
and
answer
was
made
,
that
the
one
was
Charles
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
the
other
,
the
Lady
Maria
Infanta
of
Spaine
;
and
the
third
,
Iesus
Christ
come
from
heauen
to
marry
them
.
Not
too
fast
,
(
replied
the
fellow
)
but
yet
I
am
glad
that
Christ
is
between
them
,
for
then
sure
he
wil
neuer
suffer
them
to
ioyn
together
,
except
God
giue
her
so
much
grace
,
which
seldome
happens
to
a
Spaniard
,
to
come
out
of
Babilon
,
and
not
be
partakers
of
her
Idolatries
.
After
this
,
the
book
lying
long
on
their
stalls
,
and
the
man
ouen
angred
againe
at
such
lukewarme
gospellers
and
trades-men
,
that
care
not
by
what
for
did
meanes
,
and
superstitious
filthinesse
they
enrich
themselues
,
he
asked
once
againe
what
those
pictures
meant
?
and
they
once
againe
answered
,
the
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
Princesse
of
Spaine
,
with
Christ
between
them
.
Oh
,
said
he
,
that
s
impossible
!
For
if
Christ
meant
any
such
matter
,
he
would
haue
dispatcht
it
before
now
:
and
questionlesse
there
would
neuer
haue
been
such
delayes
,
and
rediculous
pride
amongst
them
.
Then
followed
the
Princes
iorney
into
Spaine
,
with
rigging
out
a
Nauy
,
and
selecting
the
Commanders
to
please
the
King
of
Spaine
,
as
was
interpred
of
some
of
the
principall
Catholike
Lordes
of
England
,
who
apparrelled
their
followers
honorably
,
and
did
all
things
befitting
the
dignitie
of
the
nation
;
but
what
followed
vpon
Brunswicks
ouerthrow
?
Spaine
with
Ixion
bosted
,
he
must
lie
with
Iuno
:
and
the
house
of
Austria
swelled
so
big
,
that
if
the
tumor
of
pride
be
not
pricked
downe
,
it
will
burst
with
her
own
greatnes
and
presumption
,
that
they
are
not
able
to
raise
another
Gigantomachia
,
and
with
Typhon
cast
the
mountaines
against
heauen
:
for
presently
the
noble
Prince
found
a
kind
of
remisnes
and
relaxation
concerning
his
first
entertainment
,
&
peraduenture
being
a
pathick
to
some
indignities
,
he
and
the
Navy
were
all
dismist
without
the
Lady
or
any
dispatch
of
the
businesse
:
so
that
we
in
Scotland
did
wonder
how
so
great
and
so
wise
a
King
could
either
be
misinformed
,
or
rely
on
any
Temporiser
to
go
forward
with
vncertainties
;
and
yet
for
all
this
you
in
England
printed
more
books
of
the
Princes
royall
entertainment
in
Spaine
,
and
like
childrens
wormseed
it
was
trimmed
ouer
with
gold
and
put
into
candid
stuffe
,
that
is
,
it
had
braue
phrases
and
oratory
,
with
some
things
that
sauored
of
impossibilitie
.
A
second
booke
told
you
of
a
second
entertainment
which
the
Prince
had
in
Spain
,
and
for
Spanish
businesse
had
such
an
exotik
phrase
,
that
when
it
came
amongst
vs
,
we
reputed
it
a
very
Rhomantidos
indeed
:
for
the
author
inuented
words
neuer
in
any
author
before
,
and
bestowed
as
much
paines
about
killing
of
buls
and
beasts
,
ioco
de
cuno
,
and
other
sports
,
like
our
countrymen
in
times
past
,
who
ran
at
S.
Quintine
,
as
Homer
did
in
describing
the
Troian
wars
,
Curtius
in
Alexanders
conquests
,
and
Lucan
in
his
Pharsalia
.
Then
followed
a
third
booke
of
the
Princes
farewell
,
and
reciprocall
gifts
bestowed
betweene
Spaine
and
vs
;
and
this
was
as
vineger
to
the
teeth
and
smoake
to
the
eyes
of
the
subiect
:
for
had
not
their
hearts
been
seasoned
with
the
ioy
and
gladnes
for
his
returne
,
their
mouthes
had
cursed
outright
,
and
wished
such
deceiuers
the
womans
reward
,
that
for
golde
betrayed
her
countrey
,
and
so
had
so
much
layd
vpon
her
,
that
they
pressed
her
to
death
.
These
collections
(
most
gracious
Lords
)
wee
haue
made
,
not
to
intercede
against
the
will
of
our
great
King
,
or
pleasure
of
the
Prince
,
if
hee
haue
taken
any
pleasure
in
his
iourney
to
Spaine
,
but
to
put
you
in
mind
,
what
you
must
trust
vnto
,
if
you
merchandize
for
any
Babylonish
trumperies
,
or
meane
to
trafficke
with
Spaine
or
Rome
for
mens
traditions
and
policies
:
nor
are
wee
presumptuous
in
any
aduice
,
but
onely
to
remember
you
,
how
the
blood
of
the
Saints
lies
crying
for
vengeance
,
and
mourning
for
their
redemption
before
the
throne
of
the
Lambe
,
what
Rome
hath
done
to
Gods
seruants
:
wherefore
Spaine
hath
abused
most
of
the
countries
of
Europe
,
and
with
what
enforcements
the
whole
world
complaines
of
them
all
;
and
then
no
doubt
the
God
that
hath
bin
so
merciful
to
you
and
vs
in
these
discoueries
,
will
be
as
mercifull
in
opening
the
doores
of
your
hearts
to
preuent
future
mischiefes
,
by
exposing
vnto
you
present
inconueniences
,
and
assuring
you
according
to
that
Machiuilian
position
of
fides
non
est
conseruanda
cum
haereticis
;
the
Pope
and
all
that
be
his
adherents
and
louers
of
his
Holines
,
will
take
the
first
opportunitie
and
aduantage
of
any
of
your
weaknesses
;
but
let
them
know
from
Gods
owne
mouth
,
there
is
a
feast
proclaimed
for
the
birds
of
the
aire
and
beasts
of
the
field
to
come
and
prey
vpon
the
carkeises
of
Emperors
and
Kings
,
and
gorge
themselues
with
the
daintie
food
of
the
flesh
of
Princes
.
As
for
the
supposed
causes
(
gracious
Lords
)
of
your
now
Assembly
,
at
this
high
Court
of
Parliament
,
we
gesse
they
may
be
to
redresse
the
publike
grieuances
of
the
people
,
to
reforme
the
enormities
of
the
gouernner
,
to
rectifie
the
disordred
liues
of
particular
persons
,
and
to
supply
the
Kings
wants
as
is
great
reason
;
For
as
the
honor
of
a
King
consisteth
in
the
multitude
of
his
subiects
:
so
the
glory
of
a
nation
appeareth
in
nothing
more
,
then
in
the
Maiestie
&
Magnificence
of
a
Prince
,
which
cannot
be
done
without
contributions
of
the
subiect
:
and
so
by
consequence
,
where
the
people
are
rich
,
the
Prince
cannot
be
poore
;
we
pray
the
God
of
euerlasting
happinesse
so
to
direct
and
prosper
all
your
proiects
and
consultations
,
that
they
may
extend
to
the
glory
of
God
,
the
honor
of
the
Kings
Maiestie
,
the
propagation
of
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
benefit
of
the
Common-wealth
,
the
flourishing
of
this
great
and
happie
Iland
,
the
reformation
of
sin
and
enormitie
,
and
the
confusion
of
Antichrist
with
all
his
adherents
.
And
the
same
God
that
gaue
Lawes
vnto
his
people
,
comming
in
power
of
feare
,
threatning
&
iudgment
,
when
Mount
Sinai
did
shake
like
an
earthquake
vnder
him
,
spread
his
wings
ouer
your
house
,
like
the
Cherubins
ouer
the
Arke
,
&
keepe
you
safe
from
any
more
Powder
plots
,
especially
the
Ar●ados
,
and
Spanish
inuasion
of
88
,
which
must
neuer
be
forgotten
:
and
would
to
God
it
would
please
his
Maiestie
as
he
hath
done
by
the
5
of
No●e●be●
,
to
to
make
a
festiuall
of
that
day
of
their
dissipation
,
and
set
vp
a
Pillar
of
brasse
vpon
Dover
peere
,
with
insculping
the
whole
occurrences
as
they
chanced
,
that
the
first
worke
which
strangers
vndertook
after
their
landing
,
might
be
to
run
to
the
monument
,
to
vnderstand
how
God
protected
you
from
the
Spanish
pride
and
oftentation
.
And
the
same
God
that
appeared
to
Salomon
with
a
blessed
donation
of
wisdome
,
whereby
he
prostrated
himselfe
before
the
Brasen
Alter
,
praying
both
for
himselfe
and
the
people
,
so
gouerne
,
guide
,
and
preserue
the
heart
of
his
Maiestie
,
in
finishing
the
worke
he
now
begins
,
&
opportunity
sets
forward
,
●●
at
Europe
it selfe
take
a
pattern
of
great
Brittaines
Royalty
,
&
be
driuen
to
admiration
,
that
true
Maiestie
,
religion
,
pietie
,
loue
,
vnion
,
peace
,
plentie
,
and
strength
of
men
are
met
together
in
one
Island
,
and
corner
of
the
world
.
And
the
same
God
that
made
the
sea
his
instrument
of
vengeance
vpon
Pharoah
,
the
heauens
to
raine
downe
stones
vpon
the
head
of
Sisera
,
the
stars
to
fight
in
their
order
,
the
Angel
to
destroy
the
host
of
the
Assirians
,
the
fire
to
consume
the
Captaines
of
fifties
,
hell
to
open
and
swallow
vp
Corah
and
Abiram
,
the
Lions
to
destroy
the
idolaters
of
Samaria
,
the
Beares
to
tear
in
peeces
the
mockers
of
Eliah
,
and
the
inferior
creatures
to
serue
his
turne
vpon
his
enemies
;
keepe
you
from
forreine
and
domesticke
aduersaries
,
especially
outlandish
women
,
who
if
they
haue
power
to
tempt
Salomon
to
Idolatrie
,
are
sure
to
bring
a
fearefull
iudgement
vpon
him
,
and
his
posteritie
