THE
PVRITANE
PAMPHLET

(
Humble

)
REPROOVING
IT
OF
SO
MANY
Vntruthes
,
as
there
be
leaues
in
the
same
.
THE
I.
VNTRVTH
.
THAT
my
first
entrance
of
account
,
may
giue
to
all
equal
and
indifferent
Readers
,
some
proportion
to
make
coniecture
,
how
large
and
great
a
number
of
wicked
and
malitious
Vntruthes
,
are
contayned
in
so
little
and
shorte
a
treatise
:
As
I
will
beginne
my
reckoning
at
the
Title
,
and
beginning
it selfe
of
this
Association
:
So
for
euery
worde
which
it
conteyneth
,
being
only
six
(
besides
the
particles
,
&
adiections
of
our
language
)
I
will
assigne
a
seuerall
falsehood
.
And
the
first
six
Vntruthes
,
for
the
first
six
wordes
.
For
although
the
common
decree
of
Philosophers
teacheth
vs
,
that
Verety
and
falsity
,
truth
and
falschoode
,
consist
not
in
particular
dictions
,
and
first
apprehension
,
but
in
Composition
or
Diuision
,
and
in
Iudgment
:
Yet
because
that
first
Title
is
so
copious
,
that
it
may
easely
bee
resolued
into
sixe
seuerall
Compositions
,
Propositions
,
and
Iudgments
,
which
it
vertually
conceyneth
:
that
is
,
that
they
be
Motyues
;
that
the
Motyues
be
Humble
:
that
they
be
for
Association
:
that
the
association
is
to
maintayne
Religion
:
that
the
purpose
of
the
Pamphletor
is
Religion
:
that
their
Religion
is
establshed
:
All
which
assertions
as
they
be
plainly
intended
in
that
glorious
Position
,
and
six
in
number
,
I
challenge
them
to
bee
so
many
slanderous
and
impious
Vntruthes
and
forgeries
.
And
concerning
the
greate
humilitie
either
of
Puritanes
in
generall
,
or
of
this
Associator
in
particuler
,
affirmed
in
the
first
worde
(
Humble
)
I
appeale
for
sentence
to
the
Iudicials
of
al
trials
;
Popes
,
Councels
,
generall
,
prouinciall
,
confirmed
,
not
confirmed
,
all
holy
Fathers
,
and
Doctors
of
the
Church
of
God
,
all
Arguments
diuine
and
humane
,
naturall
,
and
miraculous
,
which
their
proud
and
arrogant
spirit
in
the
basest
Puritane
hath
condemned
:
I
craue
censure
of
all
Emperours
,
Kings
,
Princes
,
their
lawes
,
decrees
,
and
Parlaments
,
which
euery
of
them
as
repugnant
to
their
holy
Ghost
,
haue
censured
and
reiected
:
whether
this
is
humility
the
foundation
of
piety
,
because
hee
pleadeth
it
in
this
first
place
:
or
pride
and
arrogancie
the
mother
of
all
Irreligion
,
rebellion
to
God
and
man
,
and
other
monstrous
offences
which
they
haue
brought
into
the
worlde
,
by
that
most
ambitious
,
presumptuous
,
and
blasphemous
doctrine
:
that
euery
Puritane
is
directed
,
and
infallibly
assisted
of
the
spirit
,
and
may
controle
at
their
pleasure
,
all
Popes
,
Princes
,
Councels
,
Parlaments
,
and
Consistories
of
al
times
and
places
.
Which
hath
caused
the
Puritanes
of
England
,
so
often
by
their
Admonitions
,
Challenges
,
Pamphlets
,
Inuectiues
,
Iabels
,
and
rayling
slaunders
,
to
reprehend
Queene
,
Councell
,
Parlament
,
Clergy
,
and
whatsoeuer
is
of
estimation
in
this
kingdome
.
And
is
the
motyue
which
at
this
present
mooueth
this
humble
Associator
,
to
direct
them
all
,
and
presume
,
that
his
only
deuises
are
worthy
to
sway
the
Scepter
.
THE
II.
VNTRVTH
,
CONCERning
the
second
worde
:
Motyues
.
MOtyues
are
so
tearmed
a
mouendo
,
of
moouing
:
and
motyues
of
the
mind
take
their
denomination
,
because
they
mooue
and
perswade
the
vnderstanding
,
and
will
of
man
to
yeeld
consent
vnto
,
and
assect
such
thinges
as
they
convince
,
the
one
to
allowe
,
and
the
other
to
embrace
:
for
as
in
naturall
and
corporall
motion
,
from
whence
this
tearme
is
deriued
,
the
leuity
&
grauity
of
bodies
are
the
cause
which
mooue
them
,
the
first
to
ascend
,
and
the
second
to
a
lower
Center
.
So
in
the
motions
of
the
reasonable
powers
of
mans
soule
,
that
reason
and
argument
which
conquereth
humane
vnderstanding
,
to
giue
consent
to
that
sentence
which
it
conuinceth
,
and
that
approoued
bonity
and
goodnesse
which
winneth
the
will
to
affect
the
good
which
is
proposed
,
are
iustely
named
,
the
motyues
which
mooue
those
reasonable
faculties
.
And
as
in
ordinary
and
naturall
affaires
,
ordinary
and
naturall
reasons
are
sufficient
,
and
allowed
for
motyues
:
So
in
supernaturall
and
diuine
thinges
exceeding
the
naturall
wit
and
capacity
of
humane
Iudgement
,
supernaturall
and
miraculous
Arguments
are
produced
.
For
which
cause
Catholickes
the
knowne
patrons
and
desendors
of
christianity
against
all
,
both
externall
,
and
internall
aduersaries
,
produce
not
only
the
authorities
of
so
many
and
muincible
testimonies
of
holy
Scriptures
traditions
from
Christ
,
and
his
Apostles
,
decrees
of
Popes
,
sentences
of
so
many
generall
,
and
generally
approoued
Councels
,
and
assemblies
of
the
best
learned
Doctors
and
Professors
of
the
worlde
,
togither
with
the
absurdities
of
all
other
Professions
:
But
to
confirme
diuine
busines
with
the
infallible
reasons
of
God
,
and
to
mooue
men
to
embrace
that
,
to
which
by
naturall
reason
they
can
neyther
ascend
or
assent
;
They
produce
so
many
and
manifest
miraculous
operations
,
works
,
and
wonders
;
so
many
propheticall
predictions
,
and
fore-tellinges
of
future
contingent
euents
,
to
establish
those
misteries
wrought
of
God
to
that
purpose
;
which
no
created
power
of
it
selse
to
any
end
,
or
by
the
power
and
assistance
God
can
bring
to
effect
to
ratifie
any
errour
or
superstitious
falsehoode
.
Nowe
let
vs
examine
the
Motyues
of
this
Moouer
by
these
proportions
,
and
trie
whether
they
bee
worthy
to
bee
the
first
mooueable
or
no.
If
we
consider
what
it
is
,
which
he
laboureth
to
remooue
,
it
is
that
Catholicke
and
vniuersall
Religion
of
Christ
,
which
hath
mooued
the
whole
worlde
to
approoue
it
by
such
irresistable
motyues
as
haue
conuerted
it
.
They
which
should
be
mooued
to
this
,
and
to
bee
drawne
onely
by
his
motion
,
are
our
prudent
and
gratious
Princesse
,
her
wise
and
Honourable
Councell
,
the
reste
of
the
Nobility
,
the
Protestant
Clergy
,
&
whatsoeuer
is
reputed
great
,
and
of
the
highest
iudgment
in
our
Nation
.
Hee
which
would
mooue
them
,
is
endued
with
that
Puritane
spirit
,
which
is
in
continuall
moouing
,
and
neuer
findeth
his
place
of
rest
,
and
who
for
his
dissolute
and
deformed
motion
,
shrowdeth
himselfe
vnder
the
title
of
an
erring
Planet
,
not
daring
to
diselose
his
name
.
He
citeth
not
one
example
or
authority
for
his
purpose
.
Those
which
he
alleasdgeth
for
Motyues
,
be
none
at
all
;
as
her
Maiestie
her selfe
,
Councell
,
Nobles
,
Burgesses
,
Bishoppes
,
and
the
whole
consent
of
Commons
,
which
are
to
be
mooued
by
his
Instince
,
had
giuen
sentence
in
open
Parlament
immediatly
before
.
And
the
meanes
which
he
prescribeth
,
either
in
the
same
,
or
more
forcible
manner
,
had
bene
practised
many
yeares
togither
,
as
will
be
euident
hereafter
,
and
no
man
but
such
a
spirituall
fellowe
can
beignorant
:
And
yet
they
coulde
not
preuaile
to
that
motion
.
Therefore
no
Motyues
.
THE
III.
VNTRVTH
,
ABOVT
THE
third
worde
,
(
for
Association
.
)
THE
name
Association
is
deduced
from
Socius
,
a
fellowe
or
Companion
,
and
being
a
noune
of
Action
and
doing
,
must
needes
fignifie
to
make
fellowes
,
and
companions
.
In
which
,
and
al
such
combinations
there
must
of
necessity
bee
as
well
a
kinde
of
equality
(
otherwise
no
fellowship
but
a
subordination
)
as
also
similitude
,
likenesse
,
and
agreement
,
as
is
euident
in
all
coniunctions
.
For
if
two
or
more
differing
thinges
bee
ioyned
and
vnited
together
,
this
agreeing
matter
must
of
necessitye
be
such
,
that
the
thinges
to
be
reconciled
doe
consent
therein
.
Those
which
bee
of
one
kinred
agree
in
bloude
;
The
domesticalles
of
one
familye
in
cohabitation
.
Those
which
bee
of
the
same
Religion
(
which
is
the
Associators
case
)
to
haue
the
same
Sacrisice
,
Priesthoode
,
Sacraments
and
other
Rites
and
Ceremonies
belonging
vnto
Reuerence
.
If
we
consider
the
quallitie
which
is
required
to
Association
,
I
trust
it
wil
not
be
an
humble
Motiue
,
for
such
people
to
be
fellowes
with
Prynces
,
and
theyr
owne
Soueraigne
:
Some
wright
that
the
Earles
of
England
be
termed
Comites
,
because
by
curtesie
of
our
Kinges
they
haue
both
beene
so
named
,
and
in
some
sorte
so
vsed
;
But
that
Title
was
neuer
giuen
to
inferiour
Nobles
.
Then
it
maye
not
be
yeelded
to
such
vnable
spirits
:
except
(
which
is
the
marke
they
shoote
at
,
and
which
priuatlie
they
beleeue
)
all
things
must
be
in
communitie
,
and
no
Superious
Spirituall
or
Temporall
may
be
allowed
.
How
the
second
cause
of
vnion
betweene
the
protestants
of
England
and
the
Puritanes
thereof
in
Religion
,
can
bee
deuised
,
differing
in
32.
pointes
as
their
admonition
witnesseth
,
I
cannot
conceaue
.
For
this
Puritane
Motor
maketh
no
submision
that
they
wil
refor
me
to
the
Parlament
doctrine
.
Then
either
there
can
bee
no
Association
or
else
the
Queene
and
Parlament
must
reuoke
their
lawes
and
onely
maintaine
Puritanisme
,
which
is
the
second
pricke
of
their
leuell
as
appeareth
by
his
owne
wordes
,
of
which
I
will
speake
more
heareafter
THE
IIII.
VNTRVTH
.
IN
THE
fourth
worde
to
maintayne
.
THE
worde
To
maintaine
as
it
supposeth
the
beinge
of
the
thing
to
bee
maintained
,
soe
it
must
yeelde
sufficient
causes
of
preseruation
and
maintenance
to
the
same
.
Towchinge
the
first
Philosophers
doe
call
Duration
a
continuance
of
beeing
because
at
least
in
prioritie
of
nature
it
supposeth
the
existence
and
being
of
that
,
whereof
it
is
a
duration
or
continuance
.
In
the
seconde
Respect
that
whiche
maintaineth
an
other
,
must
be
more
Noble
and
Potent
,
then
that
which
is
maintayned
and
stronger
then
those
assailing
enemies
which
striue
to
ouerthrow
it
.
The
Master
maintayneth
his
seruant
,
the
Soueraigne
his
subiect
,
&
in
naturall
causes
,
the
more
general
and
powerable
doth
maintayne
&
preserue
the
weaker
.
The
Sun
among
the
Planets
is
called
an
vniuersall
cause
,
in
regarde
ir
preserueth
and
giueth
maintenance
to
these
inferiour
thinges
.
And
all
creatures
are
maintayned
by
GOD
,
without
whose
maintenance
and
assistance
,
all
thinges
would
be
annihilate
.
In
the
first
sence
,
Puritanisme
and
Association
with
the
Professors
thereof
,
cannot
giue
duration
to
Religion
.
For
that
which
this
Pamphletor
laboureth
to
establish
,
was
neither
by
any
kinde
of
Priority
,
or
Simultity
,
which
I
can
finde
now
is
authorized
in
England
;
but
of
this
I
will
make
challenge
in
the
worde
Establish
.
In
the
other
meaning
to
speake
of
maintenance
,
I
thinke
all
Protestants
are
very
farre
from
giuing
credit
,
that
Puritanes
seeke
to
maintaine
their
Religion
.
And
that
they
are
destroyers
and
not
maintayners
thereof
,
THE
V.
VNTRVTH
,
IN
THE
fift
worde
:
(
Religion
.
)
REligion
is
that
due
worship
,
which
man
oweth
and
is
to
render
to
God
his
Creator
,
and
chiefe
omnipotent
Benefactor
;
for
so
many
fauours
wherewith
he
hath
enriched
him
.
And
which
man
is
to
receaue
hereafter
by
his
insinite
&
irrecompensible
bounty
.
This
worship
,
as
it
is
the
Reuerence
of
God
,
in
whose
vnsearchable
will
&
pleasure
it
is
,
by
what
homage
and
offices
hee
will
be
honoured
;
so
the
institution
thereof
,
muste
needes
proceede
from
him
,
and
Reuelation
of
it
to
man
.
In
which
regard
,
it
is
an
impossibilitie
that
any
Article
or
Question
of
duty
by
that
incrrable
power
so
ordeyned
,
and
proposed
,
shoulde
either
be
vntrue
,
variable
,
vnconstanr
,
or
vncertaine
,
as
this
(
so
by
themselues
called
)
Religion
of
Puritanes
,
which
so
daily
altereth
,
Secondly
seeing
this
holy
worshippe
is
that
obligation
and
bond
whereby
(
as
the
name
it selfe
,
Religion
,
teacheth
vs
)
man
is
bounde
and
religed
vnto
God
,
for
so
many
gistes
and
graces
wherewith
hee
is
adorned
,
and
aduanced
aboue
other
creatures
:
the
office
and
execution
of
this
reuerence
must
bee
such
that
it
religeth
and
binde
all
faculties
and
powers
of
man
to
perform
that
dutie
.
Then
if
wee
compare
puritane
profession
which
catholicke
worshipp
it
carieth
no
semblance
of
Religion
.
for
all
articles
of
that
holy
Reuerence
be
affirm
a
tiue
and
teaching
one
point
of
deuotion
or
other
,
as
the
affirmation
of
so
many
sacred
misteries
of
priesthoode
,
Sacrisice
,
Inherent
grace
,
seauen
Sacraments
,
with
their
supernaturall
effects
,
prayer
,
Inuocation
of
Saints
,
prayer
for
the
departed
,
and
other
meanes
to
keepe
man
still
bounde
and
religed
vnto
GOD
.
And
if
by
frailty
or
otherwise
he
chance
to
breake
those
bandes
of
Religation
,
Penance
,
Contrition
,
griefe
and
afflictin
of
minde
and
body
,
to
relige
and
binde
him
againe
.
If
we
resemble
this
Puritane
doctrine
to
the
protestancie
of
England
,
it
likewise
is
a
Negation
of
all
Religion
,
denying
such
affirmatiue
particles
as
they
had
left
.
THE

VNTRVTH
,
IN
THE
sixt
worde
:
(
established

)
IT
is
euident
by
the
whole
discourse
of
this
Religious
Associator
,
(
and
so
hee
rearmeth
himselfe
in
diuers
places
)
that
he
is
a
Puritane
,
and
laboureth
to
settle
that
same
profession
as
he
bewrayeth
in
plaine
tearmes
.
THE
VII
.
VNTRVTH
.
THE
seauenth
foule
and
flattering
Vntruth
,
is
two
leaues
longe
;
as
though
Puritanes
were
the
most
loyall
,
louing
,
and
obedient
subiects
,
which
her
Majestie
hath
:
and
in
respect
of
them
,
neither
Councell
,
Nobility
,
Bishops
,
or
any
other
,
were
dutifully
carefull
of
her
preseruation
.
But
Sr
,
because
you
pretend
you
selfe
so
dutifull
a
Subiect
to
our
Soueraigue
,
and
regardfull
of
reuerence
to
the
English
Protestant
Clergy
,
and
that
Religion
which
they
professe
,
you
will
giue
me
licence
to
vtter
in
a
fewe
wordes
,
the
true
allegeance
and
loue
,
which
your
reformed
Seignorie
and
eldership
beareth
vnto
them
:
For
except
this
affection
be
knowne
to
bee
excellent
in
your
Society
,
you
will

And
in

It

But

And

And
telleth

woulde
bring
your

from

yet
he
desendeth
,
that
the
doctrine
of

is
such
,
that
Puritanes

bound
to
deny
it
,
with
losse
of

as
they
haue
haires
on

And
for
reuerence
and
duty
to
our
Soueraigne
,
denounceth
by
his
Euangelicall
preeminence
,
against
all
Protestant
Princes
,
which
will
not
be
Puritanes
,
and
embrace
their

that
(
to
vse

They
must
submit
their

and
throwe
downe
their

before

of

and
licke

The
highest
cathedrated
sentence
of
your
Admonition
,
written
in
all
your
names
rayleth
at
the
Protestants
,
affirming
your
contentions
to
be
but
Ceremonies
.
But
I
will
alleadge
the
wordes
of
that
holy
worke
,
both
for
your
confusion
in
this
,
and
all
other
your
wicked
practises
in
this
Association
:
These
they
be
.
Lordy
Lordes
,
Arch-bishops
,
Bishoppes
,
Suffraganes
,
Deanes
,
Doctors
,
Arch-deacons
,
Chauncellors
,
and
the
rest
of
that
prowde
generation
,
whose
Kingdome
must
downe
:
Titles
,
liuings
,
and
offices
of
Metrapolitane
,
Arch-bishop
,
Lordes
grace
,
Lordshippe
,
Suffrragane
,
Deane
,
Arch-deacon
,
were
denised
by
Antichrist
,
and
are
plainely
in
Christs
worde
forbidden
,
and
are
vtterly
with
speede
to
be
remooued
.
But
in
a
few
wordes
to
say
what
we
meane
:
either
must
wee
haue
a
right
ministerte
of
God
,
and
a
right
gouernment
of
his
Church
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
set
vp
(
both
which
we
lacke
)
or
else
there
can
bee
no
right
Religion
,
nor
yet
for
contempt
thereof
,
can
Gods
plagues
be
from
vs
any
while
deferred
.
Wee
in
England
,
are
so
farre
from
hauing
a
Churche
rightly
reformed
,
according
to
the
prescript
of
Gods
word
,
that
as
yet
we
are
not
come
to
the
outward
face
of
the
same
.
In
the
booke
of
Common
prayer
,
a
great
number
of
thinges
contrary
to
the
worde
of
God
are
conteyned
.
Except
they
yeeld
,
not
onely
Gods
instice
shall
be
powred
forth
,
but
also
Gods
Church
in
this
Realme
,
shall
neuer
bee
builded
.
The
way
therefore
to
auoide
these
inconueniences
,
and
to
reforme
these
deformities
is
this
:
to
remooue
Aduousons
,
Patronages
,
Impropriations
,
&
Bishops
authority
.
You
must
plucke
downe
without
hope
of
restitution
,
the
Court
of
Faculties
,
remooue
Homilies
,
Articles
,
a
prescript
order
of
scruice
(
the
Communion
booke
)
take
away
the
Lordship
,
the
loytering
,
the
pompe
,
the
idlenesse
,
and
liuings
of
Bishops
,
&c.
In
steede
of
Chauncellors
,
Arch-deacons
,
Officials
,
Commissaries
,
Proctors
,
Doctors
,
Sumners
,
Church-wardens
,
and
such
like
;
you
haue
to
place
in
euery
congregation
,
a
lawfull
and
godly
Seignorie
.
The
Lord
Bishops
,
their
Suffraganes
,
Arch-deacons
,
Chauncellors
,
Officials
,
Proctors
,
Doctors
,
Sumners
,
and
such
rauening
Rablers
take
vpon
them
,
which
is
most
horrible
,
the
rule
of
Gods
Church
.
The
Archbishops
Court
,
is
the
filthy
Quauemire
and
poysoned
Plashe
of
all
the
abbominations
,
that
doe
infect
the
whole
Realme
.
Neither
is
the
Controuersie
betweene
them
and
vs
,
as
they
would
beare
the
worlde
in
hand
,
as
for
a
Cap
,
a
Typpet
,
or
a
Surplesse
,
but
for
greater
matters
,
concerning
a
true
Ministery
,
and
Regiment
of
the
Church
,
according
to
the
worde
.
To
these
three
ioyntly
,
that
is
,
the
Ministers
,
Seniors
,
&
Deacons
,
is
the
whole
Regiment
of
the
Church
to
be
committed
.
Hitherto
be
the
wordes
of
that
holy
Puritane
sentence
.
And
that
it
may
be
manifest
,
what
their
loyalty
and
loue
is
to
our
Soueraigne
,
her
Bishops
,
and
their
proceedings
both
in
temporall
and
Religious
affaires
;
making
no
exception
at
all
,
God
confound
them
,
that
his
peace
may
be
vpon
Israell
,
&
his
saumg
health
vpon
this
Nation
.
Now
let
the
Reader
iudge
whether
these
men
seeke
Associations
to
preserue
her
Maiesty
,
her
State
,
and
Religion
or
no
,
or
whether
they
intende
so
great
loue
and
duety
to
the
Protestant
Bishops
,
as
is
glosed
in
this
Pamphlet
,
or
that
no
kinde
of
Subiect
is
so
carefull
as
they
,
to
preserue
the
honour
and
quiet
of
our
Kingdome
.
Let
vs
now
see
whether
this
be
true
or
no.
Philosophers
and
Diuines
teach
,
that
to
loue
is
velle
alicui
bonum
,
to
wishe
good
to
the
beloued
,
then
by
how
much
more
good
is
wished
,
by
so
much
the
loue
is
greater
:
&
lesse
,
when
lesse
good
is
desired
,
and
where
no
good
but
euil
is
wished
,
Honor
,
Obedience
,
and
Defence
.
Then
who
hath
performed
these
duties
to
our
Soueraigne
?
none
but
Putitaine
call
honour
is
temporal
or
spirituall
,
the
first
is
most
dutifully
yeelded
of
all
,
both
Protestants
and
Catholicks
;
of
spirituall
honour
the
Catholicks
make
distinction
and
are
disliked
chiefly
for
that
opinion
.
But
this
Puritane
friend
absolutely
denyeth
the
second
,
and
speaketh
doubtfully
of
the
first
.
As
for
spiritual
honor
,
the
case
is
euident
in
al
their
assertions
.
And
towching
the
terrene
honour
of
a
Princesse
,
Q.
Mary
a
Geneuean
Puritane
,
and
yet
he
tearmed
the
temporall
regency
of
a
woman
Monstrosum
Regimen
,
A
Monstrous
Regiment
.
And
this
was
the
doctrine
of
his
consorts
,
and
practises
of
their
Disciples
.
Caluin
,
Beza
,
Spiphanius
Othomanus
,
the
Swizerland
&
French
Hugonites
Puritaines
?
yes
,
and
be
so
accounted
in
England
.
And
yet
what
Councels
&
Consistories
did
they
keepe
to
depose
Kings
&
Princes
?
what
base
and
tyranicall
Vsurpers
did
they
erect
?
what
lawfull
Magistrate
in
Fraunce
was
not
deputed
by
them
to
death
.
Who
haue
more
turbulently
behaued
them selues
in
these
times
then
this
deceitfull
and
lying
Sect.
What
Libels
,
Admonitions
,
threatnings
&
chalendges
hath
this
people
made
againste
Queene
,
and
all
kinde
of
magistrates
,
especiallie
the
Protestant
Bishops
and
ministerie
,
with
whom
they
would
now
in
words
be
associated
?
Demande
an
hundred
sooleries
of
Martin
Marprelate
,
this
Writer
and
his
companions
.
This
is
the
honor
and
obedience
,
they
vse
,
and
defence
whiche
I
feare
they
would
exercise
,
if
it
came
to
tryall
.
Let
them
examine
Catholiks
by
theyr
owne
Rule
of
rendring
dutie
,
of
honor
,
obedience
,
and
defence
:
They
were
Catholickes
which
first
crowned
her
with
honor
,
they
were
Catholiks
which
obeyed
her
,
when
they
were
powerable
to
be
disobedient
.
Then
by
all
presumption
Catholickes
will
euer
defend
her
.
And
I
trust
with
our
prudent
Princesse
and
Councell
,
the
malitious
inuentions
&
falsehoods
of
Puritans
to
aduance
them selues
,
nor
the
lewde
slander
of
any
Apostata
,
to
excuse
his
impietye
will
be
admitted
,
against
the
consciences
of
so
many
Religious
Priests
and
Iesuites
,
renouned
in
al
parts
of
the
christian
world
,
protesting
(
euen
with
daylie

and

it selfe
)
theyr

THE
VIII
.
VNTRVTH
.
THIS
Pamphletor
affirmeth
that
the
estate
of
our
Soueraigne
is
dangerouslye
impeached
with
the
Perill
of
her
Person
,
by
the
indeuour
of
Papists
,
to
bring
in
the
Superiority
&
Supremacie
of
a
Forraigne
Prelat
&c.
I
meruaile
where
this
man
learned
his
consequences
.
Is
the
Superioritie
and
Supremacy
of
Pope
,
or
any
forraigne
Prelate
,
only
exercised
in
spirituall
and
ecclesiasticall
causes
,
dangerous
to
the
Temporall
estate
of
any
Ciuill
Ruler
,
or
Magistrate
?
or
perilous
to
their
Person
?
Be
not
those
Regiments
diuers
and
distinct
,
euen
in
the
iudgement
of
Puritanes
themselues
?
then
the
one
is
not
perilous
to
the
other
.
How
many
hundreds
of
yeares
,
were
they
thus
deuided
among
the
Israelites
without
confusion
.
or
perill
one
to
another
?
That
Nation
came
to
moste
calamities
,
THE
IX
.
VNTRVTH
.
BVt
if
we
will
beleeue
this
Puritane
,
her
Maresties
Person
shall
still
remaine
in
peril
,
except
his
coufaile
be
admitted
for
her
deliuery
:
by
which
shee
shal
be
enfranchised
from
such
dangers
.
His
presernatine
and
Antidote
(
to
vse
his
phrase
)
followeth
in
these
words
.
It
would
be
enacted
,
that
all
Gentlemen
,
Magistrates
,
and
Possessioners
within
this
Realme
,
shall
take
the
oath
of
Assmiation
,
for
the
defence
and
perpetuation
,
of
Religion
now
publickely
professed
within
this
Realme
.
And
the
oath
of
Supremacy
be
mimstred
with
like
addition
,
to
all
men
generally
within
this
Realine
,
from
the
age
of
sixteene
yeares
vpwardes
,
twice
euery
yeare
,
by
the
Mayors
,
and
Couernours
of
Cities
,
Townes
,
and
Corporations
,
and
by
Stewards
and
other
Officers
in
Mannors
and
Lordshippes
in
their
Cuntreis
,
and
their
Leetes
,
and
Law-daies
.
And
if
they
refuse
to
enter
into
such
league
or
oath
.
that
eucry
such
person
,
shall
be
holden
and
reputed
as
suspected
,
and
shall
be
thereby
disabled
to
beare
any
office
,
or
authority
in
Common
wealth
,
and
shall
also
be
bound
to
his
good
behauiour
,
sequestred
from
all
his
aronour
and
weapons
,
and
(
if
hee
bee
possessed
of
lands
within
this
Realme
)
shall
yearly
pay
vnto
your
Maieflie
,
the
fourth
part
thereof
.
&c.
This
is
the
sentence
of
this
Solon
:
In
which
,
how
many
vntruthes
and
fooleries
there
be
,
it
is
not
an
easie
account
.
But
because
I
deale
in
liberality
with
this
Doctor
,
I
will
put
them
togither
in
one
.
First
then
I
conclude
by
this
high
Authority
,
that
Puritanes
bee
most
wicked
,
lying
,
and
dangerous
members
in
this
Kingdome
,
and
moste
worthy
by
their
owne
iudgment
,
to
incurre
these
penalties
,
which
they
practise
against
Catholickes
.
For
if
this
inuention
were
put
in
execution
,
Catholickes
shoulde
become
so
impious
(
as
Puritanes
be
)
to
make
no
account
of
oathes
.
This
stratagemme
coulde
take
no
effecte
,
but
the
Queene
would
be
more
endangered
both
in
regard
of
the
perils
pretended
more
vnknowne
,
and
the
offendors
coulde
not
be
distinguished
,
friends
coulde
not
bee
decyphered
from
enemies
.
But
by
this
mans
confession
,
all
Puritanes
be
manifest
aduersaries
to
her
Maiestie
in
this
matter
;
for
they
both
deny
the
Religion
now
publickly
professed
in
the
Realme
,
as
also
her
Maiesties
Supremacy
in
most
vncharitable
tearmes
.
Then
when
Puritanes
(
as
this
man
assureth
)
will
take
these
oathes
,
both
concerning
the
Religion
established
in
England
,
and
her
supreame
Ecclesiastical
power
,
which
they
so
much
condemne
,
they
be
condemned
to
be
the
most
impious
,
irreligious
,
and
disloyall
people
,
vtterly
vnworthy
any
office
,
credit
,
or
confidence
in
common
wealth
:
but
by
their
owne
lawe
to
bee
bounde
to
these
disablements
,
penalties
,
and
payments
,
which
they
inuent
for
Catholickes
,
whose
fidelities
,
wordes
,
&
oathes
,
may
be
admitted
for
security
of
the
greatest
perill
,
as
these
men
acknowledge
by
this
Inuention
.
THE
X.
VNTRVTH
.
BVT
to
manifest
farther
the
folly
&
falschood
of
this
dreame
&
deuice
.
If
any
coulde
be
so
mad
to
imagine
that
so
wise
a
Princesse
,
Councell
,
Nobility
,
Protestant
Clergy
,
and
Commons
(
for
he
desireth
that
his
law
may
be
presently
enacted
)
would
immediatly
after
the
dissolution
of
a
Parlament
,
wherein
these
toyes
were
reiected
,
summon
the
whole
kingdome
againe
to
please
such
people
.
Yet
his
intent
against
Catholicks
would
not
be
obtayned
.
I
will
not
examine
the
particulers
of
his
fooleries
therein
,
but
experience
shall
pleade
against
him
,
for
either
the
same
or
more
grieuous
haue
beene
enacted
,
and
are
daily
executed
against
vs
;
&
yet
he
maketh
these
complaints
of
perilles
by
encrease
of
Catholickes
within
this
kingdome
.
For
first
concerning
his
oathes
of
the
Reltgion
now
established
,
and
her
Maiesties

FOR
Reuerence

ouer

which

bestoweth
vpon
the

And
because
this

is
so
methodicall
in

,
for
he
which
teacheth
so
wise
a
Princesse
,
and
Councell

both
in
diuine

must
needes
be

Absolute

Then
I
will
giue
him
due
in

These
be
the
wordes
of

The

Sr
,
as
I
am
no
computing
writer
,
so
I
haue
bestowed
little
labour
in
them
which
handle
such
employments
:
And
I
thinke
your selfe
to
bee
as
wise
as
the
Orotor
of
Greece
,
which
so
peremptorilie
entreated
such
things
before
Hannibal
that
greatest
Captaine
in
the
worlde
.
But
I
thinke
if
you
had
well
committed
to
memory
,
the
warres
and
battailes
of
Abraham
,
Gedeon
,
Sampson
,
Iosue
,
Dauid
,
and
others
recorded
in
Seriptures
,
wherein
you
and
yours
bee
so
inspired
:
or
with
ordinarily
qualited
Gentlemen
of
England
,
taken
but
a
superficiall
Muster
of
the
warres
of
Alexander
with
Darius
.
Of
the
Christians
,
against
the
Moores
in
Spayne
.
The
Spanyards
against
the
Infidels
in
the
Indies
.
Or
Henry
the
fifte
and
other
English
Kinges
in
France
.
Or
beene
a
little
acquainted
with
Plato
and
Aristotle
which
you
cite
in
the
beginning
of
the
first
page
of
your
Motyues
,
you
would
haue
beene
mooued
to
adde
other
members
to
your
diuision
,
gyuing
it
as
an
instruction
to
so
greate
a
Princesse
.
But
Souldiers
shall
giue
you
this
Reprehension
.
And
I
will
in
this
point
onely
call
to
your
remembrance
,
that
you
displayed
your
Banner
to
farre
,
for
a
Souldier
of
small
experience
,
and
which
neuer
kept
Centinell
before
,
may
easelie
discouer
,
that
according
to
your
skill
,
you
labour
to
possesse
your
parte
of
all
those
meanes
,
by
which
you
thinke
the
power
and
strength
of
any
people
,
or
multitude
,
(
I
vse
your
owne
tearmes
)
is
to
be
augmented
.
Your
first
fortification
is
by
addition
or
number
:
of
this
you
would
easely
bee
owners
,
if
you
might
teach
Queene
and
Councell
,
and
haue
such
stratagems
in
vse
,
which
none
but
your
holy
fraternity
doth
allowe
.
Your
second
embatailement
is
raysed
by
supplic
of
Necessaries
,
of
which
you
woulde
also
be
Masters
,
if
all
Armour
and
weapons
were
brought
into
your
Armouries
.
Of
the
third
,
which
is
aduantage
of
place
,
you
would
haue
aduantage
enough
,
if
none
but
of
your
allowance
lowance
might
be
admitted
to
place
of
Magistracie
,
or
be
placed
in
any
office
or
place
of
defence
.
As
for
the
fourth
and
last
order
of
gouerument
,
in
policy
,
to
prouoke
the
Puritanes
in
the
declyning
of
her
Maiesties
age
and

.

preferreth
to
no

our
gratious
Soueraigne

,
in

Let
me
present
vnto
your

,
the
whol

of
your

What
Logicke
followeth
after
this
diuision
,
is
not
to
be
sounde
in
Aristotle
,
but
so
many
Vntruthes
bee
manisestlie
sounde
in
it
,
that
I
might
make
vp
more
then
my
account
in
this
place
;
but
I
may
not
wholy
neglect
so
many
and
learned
lessons
in
the
rest
of
this
Association
.
But
concerning
this
hacking
and
cutting
the
Subiects
of
England
into
those
4.
quarters
,
I
muste
needes
put
this
Isocrates
in
minde
,
that
he
hath
abused
King
Nicocles
in
this
point
.
For
Religion
(
especially
with
those
which
attribute
so
much
to
saith
)
is
principally
subiected
in
the
understanding
,
then
according
to
Plato
,
and
Aristotle
his
own
Authors
,
it
taketh
specisication
from
such
things
,
as
be
taught
and
beleeued
in
Religion
:
and
diuersities
of
Religions
must
be
named
and
diuided
,
according
to
the
diuersitie
and
multiplicity
of
thinges
beleeued
:
for
as
faculties
are
distinguished
by
their
actes
,
so
these
are
diuided
and
singled
by
their
obiects
,
and
not
by
the
endes
to
which
they
be
referred
,
or
for
which
they
bee
practized
;
for
this
is
the
operation
of
the
will
,
and
not
any
action
of
vnderstanding
.
Then
according
to
that
which
is
prooned
before
,
if
there
be
almost
300.
kindes
of
Protestants
in
other
cuntreis
,
it
is
meruaile
if
only
two
had
traficke
into
England
.
Vigilantians
,
Nestorians
,
Eutichians
,
Arrians
,
Eunomians
,
Grecians
,
Henricians
,
Iouinians
,
Donatists
,
Wicklefists
,
Berengarians
,
Anabaptists
,
Iulians
,
Aerians
,
Manichees

Crue

and
I

not
how
many

,
&
himself

some
more
.
(

is
taken
away
,
and
he
hath
giuen
himselfe
the
contradiction
.
THE
XIII
VNTRVTH

TO
shew
his
cunning
in
conuersions
,
of
Oedipus
.
Mater
me
genuit
,
eadem
mox
gignitur
ex

.
But
his
only
intent
being
to
encrease
the
power
of
his
people
,
of
which
hee
considered
before
,
seeketh
by
all
meanes
,
true
,
or
contrary
,
to
make
Puritanisme
the
first
and
last
:
Alpha
and
Omega
of
all
.
As
Philosophers
teache
,
that
which
is
first
by
order
of
intention
,
is
last
by
execution
.
And
in
this
sence
his
sentence
is
true
,
for
they
wholie
intend
the
setling
of
theyr
Puritane
sect
,
which
is
their
first
and
chiefest
intention
:
But
the
setling
,
and
execution
thereof
,
by
necessitie
must
be
last
:
For
both
Protestants
and
Catholikes
must
be
taken
out
of
theyt
waye
,
before
sufficient
scope
and
place
be
made
for
the
Regiment
of
theyr
spiritte
,
which
as
it
ouer-turneth
all
thinges
except
it
may
rule
the
whole
world
,
as
the
natural
propension
thereof
enclineth
,
will

still
seeking
Innouations
.
THE
XIIII
.
VNTRVTH
,
AFter
he
hath
ended
his
Diuisions
,
in
such
learned
manner
as
I
haue
declared
;
he
giueth
censure
of
the
propertyes
of
the
parts
diuided
.
His
definitiue
sentence
is
this
.
The
first
(
Puritanes
)
are
constant
and
faithfull
vnto
your
Highnes
.
The
second
,
(
Protestants
)
wauerenge
:
The
third
,
(
Papists
)
of
estate
:
(
For
such
he
chargeth
the
Lordes
,
Bishoppes
,
and
others
,
of
the
last
Parlament
)
perilous
.
The
fourth
,
(
Papists
of
Religion
)
Pernitious
.
Than
the
which
nothinge
can
be
more
corrupt
.
I
thinke
this
man
should
meane
,
that
Papists
of
Religion
,
be
pernitious
in
respect
of
a
temporall
Regiment
,
for
which
he
so
much
in
words
contendeth
:
Otherwise
a
false
Religion
(
If
we
should
graunt
our
most
holye
Catholike
Reuerence
to
be
such
)
being
vsed
of
those
professors
,
only
for
cause
of
Religion
,
(
as
his
distinction
is
)
cannot
be
offensive
or
perilous
to
anye
Ciuill
Regiment
against
which
it
teacheth
no
repugnant
thinge
.
Secondlye
,
he
desineth
the
inconuenience
of
these
Papists
of
Religion
,
that
(
to
vse
his
wordes
)
they
bee
in
Darknes
,
False-hoode
,
Error
,
and
Superstition
.
Then
seeing
this
member
(
of
his
diuision
,
Protestants
of
estate
,
and
Papists
of
estate
,
which
often
he
confoundeth
,
because
he
allotteth
them
to
State
affaires
,
must
enter
into
combat
against
him
:
Which
they
will
easilye
performe
,
being
such
by
his
owne
acknowledgment
,
as
bee
neareste
to
her
Maiesties
Person
,
Protestants
of
Religion
,
or
Puritanes
,
as
constant
and
saithfull
to
our
Queene
,
Papists
of
Religion
.
Then
if
there
is
any
constancy
or
faithfulnesse
in
the
first
,
(
Puritanes
)
as
it
must
be
doubled
in
the
second
Protestants
of
estate
,
tripled
in
the
third
,
so
it
must
by
that
rule
of
proportion
,
be
somtimes
as
constant
and
faithfull
,
in
Papists
of
Religion
:
and
by
no
meanes
(
if
this
mans
gradation
be
true
)
can
be
lesse
in
them
,
then
in
the
other
which
proceede
from
them
.
My
reason
is
(
which
this
man
may
reade
in
his
Authors
Plato
and
Aristotle
.
)
there
be
two
kinde
of
causes
,
the
one
vniuocall
,
the
other
equiuocall
:
the
first
although
it
is
not
that
which
is
now
in
question
,
yet
it
must
needes
conteine
so
much
vertue
as
the
effect
which
it
produceth
:
otherwise
some
vertue
in
that
which
is
caused
should
bee
effected
without
cause
,
which
is
a
deceasance
in
nature
.
Of
this
sort
be
all
inferiour
naturall
agents
as
men
,
beastes
,
fowles
,
fishes
,
&c.
which
produce
the
like
in
their
kinde
.
The
second
(
of
which
condition
this
Pamphletors
discent
and
progeny
is
to
be
esteemed
)
is
called
Equiuocall
which
euer
contayneth
more
vertue
and
ability
,
then
that
which
is
effected
;
in
which
sence
the
Sunne
,
Heauens
,
and
God
himselfe
,
are
termed
such
equiuocall
and
vniuersall
or
generall
causes
;
because
their
power
so
much
excelleth
the
faculties
of
their
particuler
effects
:
and
are
able
to
bring
forth
many
and
not
only
one
,
or
few
operations
.
Fourthly
,
by
an
other
free
charter
of
this
Gentleman
,
Papists
of
Religion
are
freed
from
al
suspect
to
bee
pernitious
,
or
any
wayes
dangerous
in
this
busines
:
because
they
want
all
those
helpes
by
which

or

.
2.
supply
of
Necessaries
.
3.
aduantage
of

.
4.
order
of
gouernment
.
All
which
,
be
wanting
in
that
people
,
as
is
before
demonstrated
,
and
Puritanes
be
possessed
of
them
all
.
And
touching
his
addition
,
&
number
,
which
hee
nameth
for
the
chiefest
supplie
,
himself
acknowledgeth
,
that
in
the
beginning
of
her
Maiesties
raigne
,
we
were
many
and
mighty
,
we
were
so
farre
from
contriuing
against
her
,
that
we
honoured
her
with
her
greatest
dignity
and
Diademe
it selfe
.
Then
there
can
be
no
daunger
hereafter
.
For
seing
our
doctrine
is
one
,
there
is
no
such
perill
of
diuersity
in
dealings
in
that
case
.
And
to
auoide
vs
from
all
ielousie
,
for
suture
and
present
times
,
he
maketh
this
threatning
calculation
,
It
is
not
vnprobahle
,
that
of
the
Papists
in
this
Land
,
the
fourth
part
are
not
Papists
of
Religion
.
Then
it
cannot
be
truly
said
,
that
such
people
be
pernitious
,
or
perilous
in
this
Common
wealth
:
which
besides
all
their
positions
agreeable
to
an
honourable
and
ciuill
Regiment
,
their
orderly
,
dutifull
,
&
quiet
conditions
in
Saxonye
,
Denmarke
,
some
cantons
of
Switzerland
,
Greece
,
Hungary
,
Turkic
,
Persia
,
and
other
places
where
they
liue
vnder
Princes
,
enemies
to
their
Religion
,
will
be
an
eternall
euidence
.
When
contrariewise
these
Puritanes
&
Protestants
of
Religion
,
So
constant
and
faithfull
to
her
Maiestye
,
(
if
this
mans
word
be
Gospell
:
)
the
lawes
of
Princes
doe
not
binde
in
conscience
,
that
eucrie
man
is
Lord
of
other
mens
goods
,
the
children
of
faith
,
(
which
bee
onely
Puritanes
in
their
opinion
)
are
vnder
no
lawe
,
all
humane
lawes
must
be
taken
away
,
the
nature
of
the
Gospell
is
to
raise
wars
,
among
Christians
,
there
is
no
Magistrate
,
no
Superiour
:
and
whose
practise
in
action
hath
euer
beene
answerable
to
this
doctrine
,
manifeste
by
all
monuments
of
theyr
proceedings
,
or
rather
to
be
reprooued
for
such
pernitious
and
perilous
people
.
THE
XV.
VNTRVTH
,
BVT
to
shewe
how
high
a
pitch
of
impiety
he
can
mount
,
to
make
a
malitious
stoope
vpon
men
in
misery
,
he
vttereth
this
most
foule
and
vntrue
sentence
.
The
Papists
of
Religion
at
this
present
,
stand
furnished
1.
with
credit
and
authority
,
2.
wealth
and
ability
,
3
weapons
and
furniture
:
So
that
they
may
drawe
followers
by
the
one
,
wage
them
by
the
other
,
and
arme
them
by
the
third
.
Whould
any
man
thinke
,
that
so
holy
,
wise
,
and
well
affected
friend
,
as
this
man
woulde
see
me
to
her
Maiesty
,
durst
present
so
monstrous
and
palpable
an
vntruth
,
to
the
viewe
of
of
so
prudent
a
Priucesse
,
but
that
I
haue
alleadged
his
owne
wordes
.
For
the
first
of
credit
&
authority
,
I
thinke
it
a
difficult
thing
,
for
this
Puritane
to
find
one
Cathohcke
in
England
,
which
hath
any
authority
at
all
.
Let
him
name
any
Presedent
of
Wales
,
or
the
North
,
Warden
of

,
Gouernour
of

,
Captaine
of

,
Lieuetenant
of

,
Lieuetenant
,
Deputy-Lieuetenant
,
Sheriffe
.
Iustice
of
peace
,
or
poore
Constable
,
or
Tythingman
,
which
is
a
Papist
of
Religion
.
I
thinke
it
will
be
a
dissicult
thing
for
him
,
to
finde
in
our
whole
kingdome
tenne
of
the
meanest
authority
which
I
haue
named
.
Of
the
chiefest
no

What
the
wealth
and

of

can
be
,
except
God
doth
miraculouslie
blesse
them
(
then
let
not

repine
at

who
can
imagine

;
and
besides
these

so

by

in

.
As
for

,
which
be
for
them
,
is
a
thing
so
ridiculouslie
vntrue
,
that
none
or
sewe
Catholickes
be
possessed
of
any
at
all
.
Doth
he
not
remember
when
they
were
dispoyled
of
them
.
And
to
this
day
are
scarcely
(
where
such
Muster
Masters
liue
)
admitted
to
haue
vse
of
their
owne
to
serue
her
Maiesty
.
And
at
the
time
of
the
comming
of
the
Earle
of
Essex
out
of
Ireland
,
when
somewhat
more
was
in
hand
then
Catholickes
imagined
,
were
they
not
generally
in
the
West
cuntries
so
dispoiled
by
puritane
Iustices
of
their
ordinary
Armes
,
&
weapons
,
that
they
were
in
danger
to
be
spoyled
of
the
basest
Robbers
for
want
of
sufficient
defence
against
them
.
but
if
these
three
thinges
be
those
that
bee
so
perilous
in
people
apt
for
Innouations
,
let
him
look
into
Puritanes
,
and
howe
many
thoufands
he
may
finde
furnished
with
those
complements
.
(
London
and
good
Townes
,
most
Lordes
,
Gentlemen
,
and
Captames
of
action
and
resolution
)
will
be
sufficient
censure
against
him
.
THE
XVI
.
VNTRVTH
.
AT
the
last
,
this
Associator
commeth
to
issue
,
and
somewhat
vnmasketh
himselfe
,
to
giue
testimony
to
his
spirit
,
to
dispose
of
the
Crowne
,
make
his
Queene
a
Pupill
,
expell
Catholickes
,
roote
out
Protestantes
,
wholly
to
aduance
his
Puritane
Gospell
,
&
to
bring
the
Scepter
and
Regality
of
this
Kingdome
,
The
mightiest
in
succession
(
as
your
Maiestie
knoweth
)
are
they
(
speaking
in
the
plurall
number
)
whose
alliance
,
kindred
,
and
confederacies
,
are
for
the
most
part
with
Papists
:
Who
is
ignorant
this
to
be
a
notorious
Vntruth
,
except
hee
will
aduance
any
Title
from
Spaine
,
and
then
his
plurall
number
wil
except
against
him
:
otherwise
if
al
those
which
be
next
in
succession
,
must
be
esteemed
as
Papists
,
and
worthy
of
disinheritance
from
all
Title
of
a
Kingdome
,
by
the
supreame
sentence
of
their
spirit
,
because
they
be
not
Puritanes
,
either
a
Puritane
whether
hee
hath
any
Title
or
no
must
raigne
.
Or
(
which
is
more
probably
to
be
coniectured
)
where
these
desires
should
be
effected
of
depriuing
true
Titlers
from
their
inheritance
,
and
Puritanisme
shall
haue
superiority
,
England
shall
haue
no
King
,
Queene
,
or
Regent
at
all
.
And
if
her
Maiesty
should
attend
to
such
treacherous
,
and
tyrannicall
suggestions
as
this
spirit
enspireth
,
and
their
purpose
of
planting
their
impiety
be
performed
,
shee
were
like
to
be
rewarded
,
with
the
same
payment
of
their
common
doctrine
which
I
cited
before
,
that
the
children
of
faith
are
vnder
no
lawe
.
That
there
is
no
Magistrate
,
no
Superiour
among
Christians
.
All
humane
lawes
must
bee
taken
away
.
Eueryman
is
Lorde
of
other
mens
goods
,
and
the
like
must
bee
put
in
practise
.
The
presbitery
which
they
would
haue
planted
in
Scotland
to
the
deposing
of
their
King
.
by
scuere
discipline
mightely
encrease
the
first
(
Puritanes
)
daylie
to
deminish
the
second
and
third
(
Protestants
and
Papists
)
and
to
propulse
the
relapses
of
either
.
So
that
the
affections
of
these
fellowes
(
as
themselues
giue
sentence
)
tende
to
the
ouerthrowe
of
Protestant
,
as
well
as
Papist
,
And
the
number
of
the
one
,
equally
as
of
the
other
must
be
diminished
and
propulsed
.
So
that
whatsoeuer
they
are
,
Queene
,
Councell
,
Nobility
,
Lawes
,
Parlament
,
Authority
,
or
any
proceeding
,
not
resined
by
the
spirit
of
Puritanes
,
must
be
thus
diminished
and
ouerthrowne
.
This
(
as
I
saide
before
)
was
their
first
intention
,
and
nowe
is
their
finall
end
.
THE
XVII
.
VNTRVTH
.
ANd
that
these
Pretendors
of
perfection
in
Religion
(
as
this
Associator
calleth
Puritanes
)
might
pretend
a
perfect
and
absolute
neglect
and
reiectment
of
al
order
,
the
most
Reuerend
Arch-bishops
,
and
right
Reuerend
Logd
Bishops
,
to
whome
in
all
former
proceedings
,
they
haue
euer
and
absolutely
denyed
all
Reuerence
,
by
the
Papists
packing
(
to
vse
their
wordes
)
to
make
Burgesses
for
this
Parleament
.
(
long
since
penned
)
both
determined
that
vnnaturall
Bill
,
THE
XVIII
.
VNTRVTH
,
BVT
this
man
is
not
ashamed
to
tearme
all
that
resisted
their
Bill
,
to
be
Papists
.
These
be
his
wordes
.
I
call
them
Papists
,
Hitherto
be
his
owne
wordes
.
Which
how
vntrue
they
be
,
that
those
Lordes
,
Bishops
,
Knightes
,
and
Burgesses
which
reiected
that
Bill
(
which
were
the
whole
Parlament
,
and
all
England
represented
in
that
maior
parte
let
others
censure
.
Onely
I
humblie
wish
such
Papists
,
which
be
all
sorts
and
estates
of
people
in
England
,
Soueraigne
,
and
Subiects
,
which
be
not
Puritanes
,
and
pretendors
of
their
perfection
in
Religion
,
to
beware
of
these
mens
spirit
.
For
although
they
be
not
Papists
,
yet
seeing
it
pleaseth
their
spirit
to
condemne
them
by
the
names
of
Papists
,
Popish
,
and
dangerous
:
they
are
not
vnlike
to
taste
of
the
same
cup
with
Papists
,
if
euer
these
Associators
may
haue
their
will
.
And
although
those
thinges
which
I
now
alleadge
,
be
diuers
and
distinct
vntruthes
to
this
I
haue
cited
,
yet
because
in
reckoning
so
small
a
number
of
this
mans
forgeries
,
I
muste
ouer-passe
many
of
moment
;
and
these
following
make
for
this
purpose
,
that
all
Protestants
,
either
of
the
Lay
or
Clergy
condition
,
Magistrates
of
what
calling
soeuer
,
which
be
not
at
the
becke
of
Puritanes
,
to
aduance
their
pleasures
,
are
in
the
case
of
Papistry
,
and
equally
hated
as
Catholike
Recusants
themselues
:
this
Religious
pretendor
of
perfection
,
acknowledgeth
it
to
be
their
sentence
,
when
he
breaketh
out
in
these
speeches
.
The
Pope
can
dispence
with
Papists
their
beeing
Ministers
in
our
Churches
,
prouided
,
they
maintaine
some
one
point
of
Popery
or
other
.
With
their
being
Magistrates
in
our
Common
wealth
,
prouided
,
they
vnder
hand
,
hinder
proceedings
against
Papists
.
Which
two
sentences
,
the
first
most
false
,
and
the
second
not
needing
dispensation
,
being
a
lawfull
act
,
yet
they
prooue
,
how
Puritanes
esteeme
all
,
both
Arch-bishops
,
Bishops
,
and
others
of
the
Protestant
Clergy
,
as
also
all
Magistrates
(
no
degree
excepted
)
which
in
any
respect
oppose
themselues
to
the
headlong
actions
of
this
people
,
to
be
Papists
and
so
to
bee
punished
by
their
spirit
,
if
euer
it
be
in
their
power
to
performe
it
.
THE

WIll
anye
man
beleeue
him
to
tell
a
truthe
,
when
to
glosse
their
wiched
practizes
,
he
both
denieth
the
Earle
of

to
be
a
Puritane
:
THE
XX.
VNTRVTH
.
NOW
this
holy
pretending
Gospeller
,
is
come
to
disgorge
his
poyson
,
against
the
Reuerend
,
and
Sacred
Priests
of
our
Nation
:
and
principally
,
of
the
most
learned
,
and
holy
Society
of
Iesus
.
Whome
he
doth
not
only
charge
,
with
disloyall
practises
against
the
State
of
this
Kingdome
,
but
(
which
is
moste
impudent
)
inuenteth
shameles
suppositions
,
as
though
such
things
had
bin
both
prooued
against
them
by
some
Priestes
of
England
,
and
themselues
had
voutsased
the
acceptance
of
those
accusations
,
And
Sr
,
Pretendor
of
Persection
,
in
this
place
you
were
deceaued
in
rashe
sentence
,
that
there
was
no
difference
betwene
the
Iesuites
and
some
Priestes
.
And
it
is
neither
sin
,
nor
shame
to
confesse
it
,
being
but
matter
de
facto
,
not
any
question
of
Religion
,
and
such
as
besides
your
daily
chops
and
changes
,
controuersies
,
and
contentions
in
highest
misteries
,
&
matters
of
Reuerence
:
the
Courtes
of
lawe
,
where
perfect
brethren
daily
impleade
one
an
other
,
will
giue
recorde
,
that
at
this
present
,
there
be
many
hundreds
,
and
in
these
times
,
haue
beene
thousands
of
greater
dissention
,
then
that
only
one
in
so
many
yeares
,
when
no
Superiour
or
Consistory
,
for
the
Priests
of
our
Nation
,
was
to
determine
any
contention
.
Your
wisedome
hath
definitiuely
set
downe
in
your
Association
,
that
the
only
reason
why
Iesuites
,
&
Priests
,
be
so
dangerous
people
in
this
Nation
,
is
,
because
they
hope
for
future
aduauncements
by
alterations
:
And
therefore
practise
enen
the
death
it selfe
of
our
Soueraigne
.
Sr
,
to
pleade
experience
(
the
Master
of
fooles
)
her
Maiesty
is
the
eldest
English
Princesse
,
not
to
meddle
in
matters
of
estate
.
Thirdly
,
Italy
,
Spayne
,
Germany
,
Polonia
,
Bohemia
,
the
Indies
,
and
other
nations
where
they
liue
,
you
shall
easely
make
experiment
,
and
(
except
you
leaue
your
will
behinde
wholly
possessed
with
malice
)
acknowledge
,
that
those
Iesuites
which
be
now
in
England
,
when
they
liued
in
such
forraigne
Nations
,
both
were
sreed
from
these
perils
which
they
passe
in
their
owne
countrey
,
and
yet
enioyed
as
much
as
England
Catholickes
would
,
or
can
allowe
them
.
The
estate
of
their
countrey
,
and
fellowe
brethren
left
behinde
in
such
condition
,
will
tell
you
,
what
exchange
from
better
to
worse
,
the
Iesuites
at
home
haue
made
.
Those
Kingdomes
nowe
Catholicke
,
giue
with
security
and
reputation
,
so
much
,
as
with
so
many
dangers
and
reproches
,
any
future
time
can
yeelde
them
hope
,
which
is
nothing
,
but
S.
Pauls
victus
and
vestitus
,
with
which
they
are
,
and
must
bee
content
.
Then
who
can
censure
them
to
be
so
greate
fauourites
to
sorreigners
aduancements
,
and
carelesse
of
their
owne
securities
for
no
greater
gaine
?
Concerning
other
renerende
Priestes
of
this
Kingdome
,
as
you
thunder
not
against
them
with
so
greate
fury
,
so
I
truste
of
many
late
defences
,
some
will
come
to
your
handes
,
and
as
they
be
innocent
,
so
be
an
armour
to
saue
them
harmelesse
,
and
for
that
reason
I
may
,
and
for
other
regardes
I
must
be
silent
.
And
you
may
rest
secure
,
that
the
Monkes
of
S.
Bencdicts
order
,
are
not
yet
multiplied
to
posses
your
Abbies
:
Ten
or
such
like
number
of
them
,
are
not
likely
in
haste
,
to
challenge
and
enjoy
,
so
many
hundreds
of
Monasteries
with
their
reuenewes
,
as
were
their
dowrie
in
England
.
And
so
small
an
handfull
of
other
Priests
,
are
not
likely
to
make
present
entry
to
so
many
thousands
of
Bishoprickes
,
Deaneries
,
and
Ecclesiasticali
liuings
,
as
the
Protestant
Clergy
is
setled
in
.
Many
or
most
of
vs
,
haue
willingly
disinherited
our selues
,
and
embraced
wantes
;
we
which
haue
beene
voluntaries
in
pouerty
so
long
,
cannot
by
probability
,
be
so
sodainely
changed
to
desire
riches
,
with
so
greate
encombers
.
If
England
were
Catholicke
to
morrowe
,
no
Pretendor
of
perfection
euer
heard
,
that
in
any
age
,
such
a
generallity
of
Dualities
,
or
Pluralities
was
grannted
,
which
coulde
endowe
so
litte
a
number
,
with
so
many
thousand
spirituall
maintenances
.
Then
Sr
,
if
you
coulde
bee
but
so
equally
affected
to
them
,
which
were
so
many
hundred
yeares
togither
,
true
Titlers
,
and
owners
,
both
of
Religion
,
and
religious
possessions
in
this
Nation
,
to
let
them
now
,
in
some
poore
disgraced
and
penitentiall
manner
professe
the
first
,
with
such
deuotion
as
they
affect
:
they
should
easely
ioyne
to
leaue
the
second
,
to
them
which
more
desire
,
and
lesse
deserue
it
.
And
I
trust
no
Puritane
should
complaine
of
perill
to
Prince
,
iniury
to
himselfe
,
or
dammage
to
other
subiect
.
Such
seruing
of
God
(
which
is
all
wee
seeke
)
is
not
so
dangerous
eiher
to
Religion
established
,
or
the
temporall
state
of
our
most
beloued
countrey
,
that
any
banding
in
Associations
be
needefull
against
it
.
Being
neither
more
or
so
much
as
the
Pope
himselfe
alloweth
to
the
Iewes
in
all
his
Terrytories
,
euen
in
the
City
of
Rome
,
where
he
is
Resiant
.
And
which
the
protestant
Prines
of
Germany
,
the
Turkish
Emperour
,
Persian
,
and
other
absolute
Monarches
(
which
cannot
be
condemned
regardlesse
of
their
temporall
Regiments
)
allowe
vnto
Iesuites
,
Priestes
,
and
others
both
religious
,
and
Catholickes
of
the
Lay
condition
:
in
which
so
small
a
kindnesse
,
any
man
of
reason
,
woulde
rather
presume
vpon
your
fauour
,
then
feare
your
disfriendshippe
.
And
the
rather
because
(
Sr
giue
mee
leaue
)
in
this
very
Pamphlet
,
so
inuectiue
against
so
little
curtesie
,
your selfe
doe
seeme
to
free
vs
of
all
vnworthines
.
For
if
you
remember
,
there
be
but
two
bars
which
you
put
against
it
,
(
Ielousie
to
concur
with
forreigne
forces
)
(
And
Popes
Supremacy
with
reconciliation
)
and
your selfe
haue
broken
both
,
and
seeme
to
set
vs
at
liberty
from
such
suspects
.
Of
the
former
,
thus
you
doe
discharge
vs
,
when
you
take
away
all
hope
of
aduancements
,
by
such
conspirings
,
(
vpon
which
you
ground
your
wicked
and
vntrue
conceits
)
your
acquittance
in
this
case
is
set
downe
in
these
wordes
.
The
Admirant
of
Arragon
,
spared
the
Papists
no
more
,
then
the
other
in
the
Borders
of
Germany
.
And
the
Duke
of
Medina
said
,
that
if
he
had
preuailed
against
England
with
his
inuincible
Armado
,
he
would
haue
spared
Papists
,
no
more
then
Protestants
,
but
make
way
for
his
Master
.
Concerning
the
second
,
our
Supercedias
from
you
,
(
indeede
)
for
affirming
the
Popes
Supremacy
,
and
reconciling
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
which
are
partes
of
their
Priestly
function
.
Then
Sr
,
if
Supremacy
in
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
and
to
receconcile
to
that
Church
,
be
partes
of
Priestly
function
,
which
is
wholly
spirituall
and
distinct
from
a
ciuill
state
,
and
temporall
affaires
:
by
no
lawe
or
learning
,
that
which
appertayneth
to
that
function
,
&
is
parte
thereof
,
can
bee
preiudiciall
or
dangerous
to
the
second
.
And
your
simple
distinction
following
,
which
you
say
was
made
before
the
late
Earle
of
Huntington
,
(
you
are
well
acquainted
with
that
family
,
watch-wordes
,
ward-words
and
their
appendices
)
that
Priestes
are
not
executed
for
these
partes
,
as
they
are
religious
,
but
as
they
bee
dangerous
to
the
State
,
in
ciuill
consideration
:
is
both
ridiculous
for
my
reason
before
,
and
derogareth
to
the
lawes
of
England
:
because
you
cannot
doubt
but
those
articles
were
maintayned
,
known
,
and
honured
euen
in
this
kingdome
,
by
almost
200.
Kinges
and
their
lawes
,
many
hundreds
of
yeares
togither
,
vntill
these
daies
:
&
at
this
present
,
are
so
reuerenced
in
the
most
florishing
Kingdomes
of
the
worlde
.
And
if
contention
be
betweene
Religions
,
and
ciuill
lawes
(
except
God
be
inferiour
to
man
)
it
is
no
question
who
muste
haue
dominion
.
Temporall
thinges
be
subordinat
to
spirituall
.
Religion
is
the
highest
rule
.
But
to
giue
you
all
contentment
;
that
we
might
speake
English
still
,
and
shall
euer
bee
the
opinion
of
his
sonne
.
And
if
your
Puritane
factions
be
not
greater
hazard
against
it
,
then
any
practise
of
Papist
,
I
trust
we
shall
enioy
it
.
I
haue
bin
more
bolde
to
acquaint
you
with
these
things
:
first
,
because
a
great
number
of
our
English
Priests
,
&
Iesuites
,
haue
vndertaken
those
holy
functions
,
by
occasion
of
your
Puritane
most
vnholy
dealings
and
persecutions
against
them
,
euen
to
their
exilement
into
those
Nations
.
Secondly
,
(
because
I
loue
to
answere
you
with
your
owne
Arguments
)
in
respect
you
graunt
it
a
thing
vniust
,
Popes
Supremacy
,
&
reconciling
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
which
are
parts
of
their
Priestly
function
:
for
if
this
security
(
which
is
all
you
demande
)
were
giuen
,
they
coulde
not
bee
dangerous
to
the
State
,
in
ciuill
consideration
,
though
wee
appeale
to
your
iudgement
.
Thirdly
,
because
(
if
wee
shoulde
graunt
all
your
vntruthes
,
and
slanders
againste
Priests
,
and
Iesuites
,
to
be
the
highest
verity
)
yet
in
your
whole
Pamphlet
,
you
neuer
charge
any
one
Priest
,
or
Iesuite
in
particuler
,
which
is
in
England
,
to
bee
guilty
of
any
such
conspiracy
,
Doctor
Bagshawe
(
whome
with
many
others
the
late
Proclamation
of
her
Maiesty
her selfe
excuseth
)
but
you
loade
the
shoulders
of
such
as
conuersed
in
other
Nations
,
Cardinall
Allen
,
D.
Bristowe
,
D.
Sanders
,
Father
Parsons
,
and
Father
Walpoole
,
to
be
the
Agents
in
such
busines
,
neither
can
I
,
or
any
man
of
equal
sentence
,
perceaue
how
a
priuate
Priest
in
Englande
,
lining
vnder
such
watchfull
cies
,
can
carry
the
least
suspicion
to
conspire
with
externe
Princes
.
Or
what
priuate
Priest
,
durst
broach
such
an
enterprise
to
any
Iesuite
,
Priest
,
or
Catholike
in
this
Kingdome
?
or
who
woulde
harken
vnto
him
,
if
hee
were
so
desperate
to
attempt
it
?
And
if
you
can
,
name
that
Iesuite
,
or
Priest
,
the
Arch-priest
,
Prouinciall
of
the
Iesuites
,
or
any
Priest
of
their
obedience
,
which
haue
delt
in
such
conspiracies
:
why
are
you
silent
only
in
that
,
and
so
prodigall
in
all
other
kindes
of
accusall
.
Good
Sir
,
vtter
your
owne
name
,
and
that
Iesuite
or
Priest
in
England
,
whome
you
haue
most
confidence
to
accuse
,
set
downe
the
fact
and
offence
,
against
this
present
state
in
ciuil
consideration
,
and
I
doubt
not
,
but
he
wil
acquit
himself
to
your
confusion
&
shame
.
Therefore
if
this
lawe
coulde
bee
enacted
by
yoru
intercession
,
our
gratious
Queene
,
Councell
,
and
whole
State
,
might
sleepe
in
securitie
by
your
own
sentence
,
except
the
ruffling
windes
of
your
Puritane
spirit
should
awake
theem
.
And
if
you
should
be
yet
perplexed
,
that
so
small
a
number
of
Iesuites
,
and
Priests
,
liuing
in
so
disgraced
conditions
,
by
their
learning
,
and
example
of
regular
life
,
woulde
win
people
from
your
great
multitude
of
ten
Puritanes
to
one
Protestant
,
and
from
your
pleasant
and
libertine
Religion
,
to
so
Austere
,
and
penitentiall
profession
,
with
so
many
dishonours
,
as
Catholicke
worship
should
be
in
such
tearmes
.
Then
Sir
you
may
be
secured
,
by
all
rules
of
Religion
and
reason
,
that
Puritanisme
is
false
,
and
Catholicke
Reuerence
most
holy
.
And
if
the
whole
state
of
England
it selfe
,
her
Maiestie
our
successor
,
shoulde
be
moued
by
so
many
forcible
,
and
vndeniable
true
Motyues
as
this
worshippe
hath
,
yet
such
common
wealth
men
as
you
neede
not
to
doubt
,
but
Englande
then
would
be
as
mighty
,
and
able
to
defende
it selfe
,
against
Spaine
and
all
forreigners
,
as
England
Puritanes
would
be
.
Reckon
all
hundreds
of
yeares
since
the
conquest
,
examine
the
state
of
those
dayes
,
before
the
reuolt
of
Henry
the
eight
,
and
see
whether
I
am
deceaued
or
no.
Your
sect
hath
offended
many
,
but
not
defended
or
exalted
any
kingdome
.
THE

VNTRVTH
.
BVT
howsoeuer
obedient
and
dutifull
Catholickes
are
,
this
man
proceedeth
in
his
vsuall
vaine
,
and
like
astone
descending
,
by
how
much
nearer
center
,
so
much
more
violent
.
And
beginneth
his
Heralds
office
of
defiance
,
euen
to
the
State
it selfe
,
of
which
he
hath
bin
hitherto
so
kindely
carefull
.
And
because
he
loueth
authority
and
pleadeth
for
it
,
of
such
as
be
placed
therein
,
and
haue
credit
with
her
Maiesty
(
he
meaneth
some
of
her
priuie
Councell
)
he
affirmeth
not
only
that
they
haue
incurred
Premunire
,
by
fauouring
,
comforting
,
counselling
,
or
abetting
an
appeale
to
Rome
,
contrary
to
the
Statute
of
24.
H.
8.
c.
22.
whereby
he
calleth
their
liberties
,
landes
,
and
goodes
into
question
.
But
because
he
will
cast
at
all
,
euen
their
liues
themselues
,
chargeth
them
not
onely
with
Priests
and
Iesuites
,
but
to
haue
receaued
ahsolution
,
indulgence
,
or
dispensation
by
such
meanes
.
Which
,
what
an
vntruth
it
is
,
I
neede
not
vrter
;
and
howe
venimous
against
such
personages
,
I
remit
to
others
censure
.
And
concerning
the
Protestant
Bishops
,
nowe
at
last
he
rewardeth
with
the
offalles
of
the
whore
of
Babilon
.
THE
XXII
.
AND
LAST
Vutruth
.
AND
as
the
nature
of
the
spirit
of
these
pretendors
is
to
rule
,
&
to
gouerne
,
to
be
at
defiance
with
all
,
peace
with
none
;
so
nowe
he
denounceth
wars
,
mustereth
his
men
,
calleth
his
Lordes
togither
,
surueyeth
his
Cities
,
and
Townes
,
men
affaction
and
resolution
,
and
arrayeth
his
whole
Army
in
such
order
&
multitudes
,
ten
to
one
,
that
if
dissembling
,
and
vntruthes
may
not
be
admitted
,
yet
his
confidence
is
,
that
he
may
preuaile
by
armes
.
And
telleth
in
plaine
tearmes
,
that
it
is
not
good
to
prouoke
the
Puritanes
.
And
why
?
forsooth
because
to
vse
his
wordes
.
London
and
good
Townes
,
Lordes
,
Gentlemen
,
and
Captaines
,
(
that
be
of
the
Religion
)
incline
that
way
,
and
be
men
of
action
,
and
resolution
.
And
concerning
his
Chaplaines
,
thus
he
boasteth
:
Setting
by
nonrefidents
and
dumbe
dogges
,
ye
shall
finde
ten
Puritanes
,
for
one
formalist
.
What
the
meaning
of
these
men
is
,
requireth
no
difficulty
to
decypher
.
And
yet
if
his
wordes
were
true
,
I
doubt
notbut
he
would
dispute
in
an
other
manner
(
which
their
spirit
teacheth
)
and
battaile
with
weapons
&
not
with
words
,
as
they
haue
threatned
in
other
Pamphlets
,
and
their
holy
brethren
performed
in
other
place
.
But
for
this
time
,
I
will
put
it
in
the
number
of
his
vntruthes
.
For
if
so
many
in
authority
and
credit
with
her
Maresty
,
&
the
Maior
part
of
Parlamet
,
Clergy
,
and
others
are
this
mans
Papists
,
then
it
cannot
be
true
,
that
most
Lords
,
Gentlemen
,
and
Captaines
,
and
men
of
action
and
resolution
,
London
,
and
townes
out
of
which
those
Papist
Burgesses
were
chosen
,
be
for
them
.
And
although
the
affirmation
or
denyall
of
them
,
which
speake
so
vntruly
,
is
not
to
be
regarded
;
yet
if
we
will
either
consider
their
Religion
in
it selfe
,
what
it
teacheth
,
community
of
thinges
,
warres
,
rebellions
,
spoyles
,
and
vsurpation
of
others
labours
,
fewe
will
be
founde
(
for
I
doe
not
speake
but
some
may
bee
deceaued
)
which
haue
either
wit
,
wealth
,
honour
,
credit
,
authority
or
estimation
,
but
woulde
bee
willing
to
maintayne
them
,
which
in
this
destructine
Religion
,
they
cannot
performe
.
Or
if
we
will
be
measured
by
experience
,
wee
shall
consider
,
that
in
these
London
and
good
townes
(
whereof
they
glory
)
onely
the
meanest
and
most
needy
,
which
hope
by
exhanges
and
innouations
to
be
exalted
,
and
among
their
clergy
,
such
as
want
wealth
,
and
benifices
(
which
they
cannot
get
)
enuying
at
others
substance
,
haue
embraced
this
Religion
.
And
if
they
coulde
be
aduanced
,
&
change
their
debased
estate
,
Caluin
,
Beza
,
Othoman
,
and
others
,
both
in
Switzerland
,
and
Fraunce
,
could
neither
endure
riches
,
or
regiment
,
but
kept
councels
to
depose
Princes
and
Rulers
:
yet
when
themselues
preuayled
,
could
both
approoue
of
riches
,
and
keepe
others
in
subiection
to
their
deuises
.
Thus
we
se
,
by
these
sew
things
wherein
I
haue
exemplisied
in
so
shorte
a
Pamphlet
,
how
falsely
and
corruptly
hee
hath
delt
,
if
the
rest
of
his
vntruthes
shoulde
be
measured
with
like
examine
:
Which
for
many
causes
,
and
not
to
bee
offensiue
,
I
haue
omitted
.
And
therefore
,
when
voluntarily
I
passe
ouer
so
many
sorgeries
,
let
no
man
thinke
,
that
I
haue
allowed
for
truth
,
such
things
as
I
haue
not
here
consuted
.
And
concerning
the
humilitie
,
Motyues
,
loyalty
,
and
loue
of
this
Associator
to
our
gratious
Princesse
,
and
those
Protestant
Bishops
whome
hee
taketh
in
hand
to
teach
,
I
hope
no
man
will
bee
so
moueable
to
be
carried
with
the
motions
of
him
,
which
not
onely
without
any
motiue
at
al
,
would
mooue
so
great
a
Queene
and
Kingdome
,
to
go
about
vtterly
to
remooue
a
Religion
,
which
had
reigned
vnremooued
,
in
her
most
holy
and
renowmed
Ancestors
and
this
Nation
so
many
hundreds
of
yeares
;
and
mooued
by
so
certaine
and
vnfallible
motiues
as
I
haue
recited
,
the
whole
Christian
worlde
to
honour
&
defend
it
:
but
such
as
euery
man
of
iudgment
(
and
such
as
will
not
be
moued
with
euery
blaste
of
such
vnconstant
and
contemptible
men
)
may
suppose
they
were
,
by
which
so
many
prowde
Pagan
Emperours
and
Princes
of
the
earth
,
so
many
wise
and
learned
Philosophers
,
Magicians
,
and
potent
enemies
were
conquered
,
to
professe
so
poore
and
penitentiall
life
,
in
regard
of
those
honours
and
pleasures
they
had
enioyed
.
Neither
is
this
the
ende
and
scope
of
that
Associator
as
I
haue
described
:
But
to
mooue
our
Soueraigne
,
firste
to
establishe
that
Religion
which
she
hath
allowed
,
onely
vntill
such
time
,
as
he
hopeth
the
former
may
bee
ouerthrowne
:
And
then
,
both
that
.
and
the
professors
thereof
,
muste
bee
diminished
and
taken
away
,
as
his
owne
wordes
haue
witnessed
.
And
that
vncertaine
,
vnconstant
,
false
,
and
seditious
profession
which
neuer
hath
ende
,
but
euer
is
in
debate
,
contention
,
disobedience
,
rebellion
,
and
dissentions
wickednesse
must
bee
erected
.
When
the
Vicar
of
Greenewitch
,
or
Deane
of
Winsor
,
or
Parson
of
any
place
,
where
the
Queene
or
King
shall
keepe
their
Court
,
may
depose
them
as
their
spirit
pleaseth
.
Which
vnder
Puritane
correction
,
to
vse
this
mans
phrase
is
far
more
dangerous
to
the
State
in
ciuill
consideration
:
pretended
perfection
in
Religion
admitted
,
whether
any
Queene
,
King
,
or
Prince
,
may
bee
allowed
with
that
submission
.
For
such
Regents
are
incompatible
of
those
brethren
,
vpon
whome
no
lawe
may
be
imposed
.
Then
Nobles
,
and
Councell
,
are
to
cease
where
both
community
of
thinges
must
bee
,
and
so
many
Regalities
and
Regencies
are
,
as
there
be
Parishes
in
this
Nation
,
thousandes
of
supremacies
,
more
then
can
giue
maintenance
to
any
vnity
or
Subordination
.
As
for
Protestant
Bishops
and
al
such
as
depend
vpon
ecclesiastical
dignities
,
Puritanes
,
viz.
such
as
pretend
perfection
in
Religion
.
Howe
the
depending
authorities
of
inferiour
Magistrates
can
haue
place
,
where
the
superiour
to
which
they
are
subordinate
,
is
taken
away
,
it
passeth
my
inuention
.
Or
howe
the
priuate
wealth
wiues
,
or
any
proper
of
Subiects
,
can
be
their
peculiers
,
where
euery
beggarly
,
and
lasciuious
wanton
,
muste
haue
his
will
,
as
his
spiritte
leadeth
,
I
finde
not
in
that
profession
.
And
yet
your
owne
writinges
witnesse
,
this
woulde
bee
platforme
of
holy
Assotiation
