Why
doe
the
Gentiles
rage
,
and
the
people
murmure
in
vaine
.
Psal.
2.
IN
the
first
of
our
holy
labors
I
beseech
you
let
vs
consider
that
euery
good
gift
descendeth
from
aboue
,
and
therefore
in
full
perswasion
of
our
heauenly
fathers
loue
towards
vs
through
Iesus
Christ
his
onely
Sonne
,
Let
vs
faithfully
by
earnest
prayer
crye
for
his
holy
spirite
to
his
vniuersall
Church
,
and
euery
part
thereof
:
and
namely
to
this
Church
of
England
and
Ireland
&c.
Why
doe
the
heathen
rage
,
and
the
people
imagine
,
murmure
,
&
meditate
,
with
turbulent
Spirites
vpon
great
mischiefe
,
yet
all
in
vaine
.
For
neither
haue
they
cause
so
to
frette
and
fume
,
or
canne
they
possiblye
bringe
to
passe
,
that
which
so
wickedly
they
haue
in
their
banded
consultations
confirmed
by
conclusion
.
The
words
are
of
Dauid
the
Lords
annoynted
,
king
of
Iuda
,
besette
with
sundry
enemies
,
hatefull
at
his
honour
,
and
hautely
deuising
which
waye
to
distronize
his
excellencye
,
but
for
that
they
were
too
weake
at
home
they
banded
themselues
with
forren
mates
abroade
,
so
as
they
might
the
sooner
attaine
the
ende
of
that
their
wicked
desire
:
Namely
his
home-dwelling
Iewes
,
aswell
of
his
Courte
as
Country
raised
rebellion
,
erecting
an
other
king
against
him
(
euen
Abner
a
Noble
man
in
the
land
set
vp
the
sonne
of
Saule
called
Ishboseth
and
hee
raigned
two
yeares
in
Israell
)
The
Philistines
they
bent
their
sundry
battailes
also
against
Dauid
,
&
both
beset
themselues
to
his
decay
:
But
this
man
of
God
heroically
harted
,
assured
of
his
state
for
his
election
,
and
therefore
of
his
staye
of
Gods
protection
,
penneth
this
Psalme
to
his
comfort
,
and
to
the
Churches
instruction
for
all
times
to
come
,
declaring
his
rest
in
Gods
decree
,
whose
holy
hand
is
euer
stretched
out
which
his
mighty
strength
for
euery
his
annointed
.
The
euent
aunsweared
according
his
expectation
:
Phylistines
,
Ammonytes
,
This
Psalme
is
also
Propheticall
,
foreshewing
the
malice
of
Sathan
,
agaynst
the
Lordes
Christ
,
in
the
action
of
our
redemption
,
by
the
Iewishe
people
,
and
Heathen
Prince
Herode
,
Pylate
and
the
Romayne
power
in
Hierusalem
.
And
it
remayneth
to
signifye
to
all
christian
kinges
,
and
Potentates
,
what
they
are
to
looke
for
at
the
hands
of
wicked
men
,
at
home
and
abroade
,
if
once
they
bende
their
best
,
to
set
forth
Gods
glory
.
Though
many
auncient
histories
in
the
daies
of
Israell
,
and
other
times
,
may
proue
this
,
yet
neede
we
no
other
search
for
testimony
hereof
,
then
the
present
viewe
of
Sathans
endeuour
,
in
the
fresh
traiterous
attempt
of
this
newe
conspiracy
,
by
these
sinfull
Satanistes
the
Popishe
gentiles
(
I
meane
the
Romaine
confederates
and
our
Englishe
Italienated
Papistes
)
part
of
which
the
axe
of
Iustice
,
hath
discerned
and
cut
off
,
and
the
rest
doe
yet
attende
,
as
ready
to
their
deserued
hire
.
Whose
harts
the
Lord
in
mercye
(
according
to
his
good
pleasure
)
alter
,
to
repent
:
whose
heads
and
hands
,
with
the
remenant
of
their
cursed
company
,
here
and
beyond
sea
,
whether
noble
,
or
ignoble
:
I
hartely
pray
to
God
and
his
Magistrates
,
that
they
maye
bee
signes
(
For
they
hung
redde
Ensignes
)
to
the
terrour
of
all
turbulent
Traytours
for
his
holy
names
sake
.
Why
doe
the
heathen
rage
&c.
This
text
doth
offer
vs
this
diuision
:
First
it
declareth
vnto
vs
the
nature
of
their
conspiracy
.
And
Secondly
that
their
attemptes
is
all
in
vaine
.
The
conspiracye
shall
best
bee
seene
,
if
wee
first
looke
vpon
the
persones
that
purpose
so
wicked
an
indeuour
:
and
then
order
will
offer
vs
,
the
viewe
of
their
decree
.
The
persons
were
of
sundry
nations
,
but
one
in
purpose
and
profession
,
that
is
to
saye
,
to
bereaue
good
Dauid
the
Lordes
annointed
,
both
of
kingdome
and
life
.
So
is
the
trayterous
attempt
present
,
against
the
sacred
Maiestie
of
God
and
our
gracious
soueraigne
his
annointed
Elizabeth
,
by
the
Popishe
combineds
,
Romaine
confederates
,
and
our
Englishe
Italienates
(
both
Traytours
to
God
and
her
Maiestye
)
and
in
their
Religion
very
Heathens
,
and
not
other
.
So
as
wee
may
rightly
saye
of
them
,
as
Dauid
sayde
of
those
:
Why
do
the
infernall
Heathen
of
the
West-church
,
rise
vp
in
tumult
,
and
conspiracie
,
against
the
Lorde
and
agaynst
his
Christe
,
our
gracious
Ladye
,
and
onely
Queene
of
England
.
The
Papistes
woulde
bee
counted
Catholiques
in
respect
of
their
mother
that
strumpet
of
Rome
,
but
beeing
her
children
,
they
are
therefore
Heathen
and
not
of
the
common
weale
of
the
christian
Israell
.
It
is
no
hard
labour
to
finde
the
Romanistes
still
to
remaine
heathen
Gentyles
.
And
first
by
the
place
and
Churche
whereon
they
rest
.
Secondly
by
the
practise
in
profession
of
the
auncient
gentles
,
whose
steppes
they
treadde
in
greedy
purpose
.
And
last
of
all
by
the
permanent
accomptes
,
whiche
the
GOD
of
heauen
doth
make
of
such
.
For
the
place
:
Rome
it
is
,
the
roote
of
all
euill
:
the
mother
of
these
men
:
whiche
bragge
to
beare
her
name
:
shee
is
by
the
Scriptures
,
and
approued
fathers
ycleaped
by
the
name
of
Babylon
:
Augustine
,
Hierome
,
Prymasius
,
Bernarde
,
and
others
.
Of
necessitye
therefore
the
Trayterous
Papistes
,
Children
of
this
second
beast
,
must
bee
of
her
:
second
Babilonians
,
not
for
their
scituation
,
but
for
their
gentile
profession
,
which
what
it
is
,
the
Apostle
Paule
,
The
Papistes
ioyne
,
full
,
and
open
handes
with
their
former
fathers
in
the
practise
of
this
gentilitye
,
for
no
Paganisme
,
is
more
pregnaunt
then
Poperye
,
in
the
inuention
of
forraine
Pettye
Gods
,
and
will-worshippe
,
or
more
grosse
Idolaters
,
seruing
either
liuing
creatures
,
or
deade
stockes
,
and
therefore
worthely
(
this
proued
by
demonstration
)
wee
maye
secondly
conclude
them
to
bee
Heathen
gentiles
.
The
Popishe
Churche
doth
ioye
in
this
gentilitye
,
shee
maketh
choyse
therefore
of
creatures
both
sensible
,
and
sencelesse
,
namely
the
spirites
of
Saintes
,
and
the
Images
of
their
earthy
forme
.
For
the
Saints
,
their
worshippe
is
no
lesse
to
them
,
then
if
they
were
our
God
,
they
inuocate
their
names
with
the
perswasion
onely
dewe
,
to
the
eternall
father
,
and
most
wickedly
they
giue
the
grace
of
our
most
louing
Christ
,
to
a
painted
crosse
of
siluer
,
woode
,
or
other
substaunce
.
Doth
not
their
confirmed
Popish
Christianitie
in
the
councels
of
Trident
,
wel
declare
the
same
?
What
meaneth
else
these
manner
of
praiers
to
the
virgin
Marie
,
in
that
blasphemous
Hymne
,
Aue
Maris
stella
,
and
the
lyke
to
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
,
and
in
sundrie
other
places
,
where
contrary
to
their
common
assertion
they
endeuour
to
make
both
that
holie
virgin
,
and
the
prophane
piece
of
wood
,
not
mediators
of
intercession
,
but
workers
and
giuers
of
our
saluation
?
For
thus
you
are
there
taught
to
pray
:
Haile
starre
,
&c.
poure
thou
peace
into
vs
,
so
loose
thou
the
bonds
and
chaines
of
sinners
,
bring
thou
light
to
the
blinde
,
driue
thou
awaye
our
euils
,
and
procure
to
vs
all
goodnes
,
vse
thy
motherly
aucthority
,
shew
thy
motherly
power
,
lette
thy
Sonne
heare
our
praiers
by
thy
mediation
,
O
Virgin
pearlesse
,
the
meek
amongst
all
,
make
thou
vs
meeke
and
chaste
,
giue
thou
vs
a
pure
life
,
prepare
thou
vs
a
safe
passage
,
&c.
Againe
:
Saue
vs
,
and
saue
al
others
with
vs
,
we
beseech
thee
for
euer
.
And
to
euerie
Crosse
in
any
Church
,
Hayle
thou
crosse
our
only
hope
,
this
time
of
the
passion
,
increase
righteousnes
in
the
godly
,
and
giue
pardon
vnto
sinners
.
Again
to
the
virgin
Mary
in
this
blasphemous
praier
.
Gaude
flore
virginali
,
&c.
As
the
Sun
causeth
the
light
of
the
day
,
euen
so
out
of
al
question
doest
thou
(
O
Mary
)
cause
al
the
world
to
shine
,
through
and
with
the
fulnesse
of
thy
light
&
peace
.
O
Mary
mother
of
God
,
bee
thou
vnto
vs
the
right
waye
,
and
eternall
ioy
,
and
euer
bend
thine
eares
to
heare
vs
.
I
suppose
(
beloued
)
sufficient
be
saide
for
this
point
,
by
and
from
the
Papistes
owne
store
,
to
shew
that
they
remaine
resolute
Romanists
,
that
is
meere
Heathen
and
Gentile
Papistes
.
But
what
accompt
can
the
Lord
make
of
such
,
but
as
of
their
elder
parentes
,
S.
Iohn
the
Apostle
:
Whosoeuer
(
saith
he
)
transgresseth
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
&
abideth
not
in
his
doctrin
hath
not
god
:
but
the
papist
(
&
euery
papist
)
doth
transgresse
&c.
&
doth
not
abide
,
&c.
Ergo
the
papist
hath
not
God
:
is
therefore
as
his
fellow
gentile
,
void
of
Christ
,
&
the
promises
of
saluation
in
him
.
That
the
papist
doth
transgresse
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
is
most
apparant
in
our
papists
in
this
Tower
now
worthily
imprisoned
&
in
their
fellowes
gone
to
death
by
them
deserued
.
The
doctrine
of
Christ
is
both
general
&
particular
.
The
generall
doctrine
is
:
they
which
worship
God
,
Giue
vnto
Caesar
that
which
appertaineth
vnto
Caesar
.
But
the
Papist
doth
of
malitious
purpose
transgresse
this
doctrine
:
therefore
hee
hath
not
God
.
To
Caesar
doth
belong
amidst
many
things
,
at
least
his
proper
lands
,
and
naturall
life
:
yet
our
Romaine
Catholikes
will
affoorde
our
soueraigne
Caesar
neither
of
both
:
but
with
bloodie
heartes
bent
against
God
,
meditate
,
conspire
,
bande
,
consult
,
proclaime
,
We
wil
not
haue
this
Woman
to
raigne
ouer
vs
,
she
is
the
heire
,
come
let
vs
kill
her
,
and
lette
vs
take
her
inheritance
,
let
vs
breake
their
bands
of
doctrine
,
and
cordes
of
Imperiall
commaund
,
and
set
vp
the
sonne
of
Tabeall
,
or
the
mother
Athalia
,
and
make
a
breach
in
Ierusalem
for
vs
.
Giue
to
Caesar
&c.
,
the
Catholike
Traytors
say
to
al
theirs
Take
from
the
Queene
your
Caesar
,
both
lande
and
life
.
Secondly
,
neither
doe
they
abide
in
that
truth
,
which
the
auncient
Church
of
Rome
receiued
,
&
a
great
time
faithfully
did
holde
,
Let
euerie
soule
submitte
himselfe
,
&c.
(
for
he
that
refuseth
,
refuseth
to
his
own
condemnation
)
for
their
present
practise
surely
proueth
the
flat
contrary
.
Therefore
we
may
conclude
,
that
these
English
Papists
,
which
would
be
called
Catholikes
,
are
vtterly
without
God
,
as
were
their
Fathers
the
Gentiles
before
them
,
and
wil
do
the
works
〈◊〉
their
Father
Satanas
:
namely
,
to
lie
〈◊〉
murther
▪
English
Italienats
(
as
they
are
professed
Catholikes
)
so
they
are
approoued
Heathens
,
not
for
nation
onely
and
forraine
birth
,
but
also
because
of
their
religion
,
&
deuilish
deuises
,
and
these
bee
onely
they
which
mutter
&
proclaime
,
which
band
with
forraine
foes
,
&
breake
in
and
out
at
home
,
among
their
secret
frends
,
this
traiterous
and
bloody
sound
:
Come
let
vs
goe
kill
this
Elizabeth
,
as
wee
haue
sworne
.
But
Lord
,
blesse
thou
our
blessed
Elizabeth
,
and
giue
her
long
life
ouer
vs
,
and
with
thee
life
for
euer
and
euer
,
we
humbly
(
sweete
Lorde
)
beseech
thee
.
Thus
haue
we
proued
the
papist
to
be
an
heathen
and
fellow
Gentile
with
those
his
Fathers
which
conspired
against
the
Lordes
annointed
.
And
wee
may
boldly
adde
,
that
they
bee
far
worse
then
suche
Gentiles
,
whose
care
is
〈◊〉
walke
in
honest
conuersation
.
For
(
C●cero
saith
)
〈…〉
●eth
all
〈◊〉
men
to
be
〈…〉
weale
,
〈…〉
excuse
for
his
faulte
,
Againe
,
if
question
do
arise
,
and
comparisons
shoulde
growe
,
to
whome
wee
owe
our
best
,
and
most
dutie
is
belonging
:
Surely
(
saith
Cicero
in
his
Offices
)
our
Prince
,
our
Country
,
and
our
Parentes
be
they
,
to
whome
wee
liue
,
or
shoulde
in
all
dutifull
sorte
,
and
to
these
we
are
all
most
bounden
.
But
our
Catholikes
are
degenerate
from
this
ciuill
and
gentile
condition
,
and
are
begotten
by
theyr
Father
Sathanas
,
to
bee
despisers
of
theyr
Wiues
and
Parentes
,
hatefull
to
their
posteritie
,
and
natural
bloud
,
raunging
to
hunt
the
ruine
of
this
their
moste
noble
Countrey
,
and
beeyng
of
worshipfull
race
,
and
gentle
bloud

(
if
none

do
put

and

〈…〉
finde
no

of
oure
most
louing
Lady
and
Empresse
,
the
Lords
annointed
.
They
bend
their
batterie
at
her
tender
bodie
,
whose
Grace
,
by
grace
from
God
,
doth
stay
the
Pope
from
vsurping
his
tyrannicall
power
in
her
Maiesties
dominions
.
Come
good
Catholikes
,
lift
vp
your
harts
,
feare
not
the
attempt
,
it
is
easily
brought
to
passe
,
the
b●nde
of
our
federacie
is
mighty
&
inuincible
,
the
Court
doth
couch
vs

,
the
Country
hath

the

〈…〉
p●osper

〈…〉
by
this
high
attempt
winne
vs
fame
,
and
breake
their
bandes
of
doctrine
,
that
doth
so
much
annoy
vs
,
and
our
Catholike
Church
,
and
lette
vs
cast
away
their
cordes
of
auctority
,
and
restraint
of
our
pleasures
from
vs
:
For
this
Elizabeth
shall
no
longer
raign
ouer
vs
.
Oh
Christian
subiectes
,
&
deare
brethren
,
do
not
your
hearts
bleede
within
to
see
this
prepared
match
without
:
namely
,
the
vtter
desolation
&
finall
destruction
of
your
church
,
your
peace
and
naturall
country
?
Oh
vntimely
borne
babes
,
which
as
swine
of
the
Romish
Bore
,
enter
the
Lords
vineyard
,
to
root
vp
the
vine
,
&
to
make
barren
this
most
fruitful
soile
.
You
fathers
and
country
men
,
beholde
in
these
men

So
euen
in

,
by

,
he
meaneth
the

in

Now
th●

Now
haue

the
matter
of

the

of

.
The
time
doth
nowe
require
,
that
we
speake
also
of
the
seconde
point
before
promised
,
that
is
,
to
shewe
howe
vayne
is
the
attempts
of
al
such
Catholikes
Papistes
,
as

battaile
against
the
Father
of

:
Why
doe
ye
meditate
mischiefe
in

(
sayth
Dauid
.
)
In
this
second
part
of
our
text
,
let
vs
obserue
first
,
howe
inconsiderate
the
aduersaries
of
Dauid
be
,
which
purposing

〈…〉
what

〈…〉
,
with
〈…〉
●●ere
verie
inconsiderate
:
For
the
one
supposed
of
many
frendes
in
Iewry
,
by
reason
they
had
suche
colour
to
crowne
a
king
of
the
former
kinges
line
,
namely
,
Ishboseth
Saule
his
sonne
,
Psalmist
,
Why

whom
they
〈…〉
Lord
God
also
,
who
hath
mercifully
sette
mee
ouer
them
?
Why
doe
they
so
?
This
question
Quare
?
is
not
without
his
double
Emphasis
.
Fyrst
the
question
is
pearcing
,
it
is
much
more
forceable
to
say
?
Why
doe
they
so
?
Then
if
Dauid
had
said
,
but
simply
thus
,
The
enemies
doe
thus
rage
against
mee
,
for
it
rowseth
vp
the
sences
,
and
asketh
the
spirites
of
menne
a
reason
of
their
bodely
endeuours
.
This
figurate
speach
contayneth
first
a
kynde
of
admiration
,
as
thus
:
Is
it
not
a
wonder
to
see
such
menne
so
madde
?
What
cause
haue
I
geuen
them
thus
to
rage
agaynst
me
?
Secondly
it
offereth
the
checke
with
his
inuincible
mate
:
vnto
these
inconsiderate
Catholiques
?
Why
doe
yee

hearts
and

ready
against

&

Queene
,
whensoeuer
you
should
haue
taken
assaye
of
our
preparation
.
For
as
Israell
cryed
against
the
Medianites

his
Gedeon

Ar●

But
yet

:
what
is
your
reason

forsooth
Syr
Preacher
this
it
is
,
your
Queene
is
by
the
holy
father
excommunicated
,
and
all
her
subiectes
by
his
aucthoritie
sette
at
freedome
from
their
othe
of
alleageaunce
,
and
naturall
bond
of
duetye
.
Is
this
the
matter
?
Well
:
we
take
first
that
you
graunt
vs
.
Videlicet
,
that
you
were
borne
her
loyall
subiectes
,
and
that
beeing
further
,
her
seruauntes
,
you
were
sworne
to
bee
faithfull
and
loyall
to
her
Maiestie
,
and
so
by
inference
,
yee
confesse
that
before
this
excommunication
shee
was
your
louing
Mistres
&
your
lawfull
Queene
also
?
Yea
Syr
,
wee
doe
so
:
well
then
lette

that
doth

to

vs
,
of
this
charge
,
and
by
what
aucthority
.
Thirdly
his
discharge
what
it
is
,
and
of
what
importaunce
,
by
which
suruey
we
shall
plainly
see
,
Sathan
to
haue
seated
Antichrist
,
in
the
consciences
of
these
forlorne
Caitiues
,
aboue
the
Almighty
God
.
The
Lord
God
of
Israell
it
is
,
that
commandeth
al
subiects
to
owe
in
hart

performe
in
faithfull
seruice
all
honorable
duety
to
their
superiors
,
in
these
words

Honour

which
word
honor
requireth
inward
reuerence

reuerende
accompt
,
and
harty
affection
from
the
soule
of
the
inferiour

outward
seruice
with
externall
reuerence
and
all
kindes
of
duety
,
according
to
the
bond
of
the
parties
obliged
.
And
the
chiefe

And
the

as
the
Apostle
saith
,
and
the
scripture

,
as
the
plagues
of

:
by

hande
of
God
from

doe
testifie

his
hate
of
disobedience
in
earth
,
to
his
appointed
Magistrates
.
Yea
,
our
fealtye
,
and
allegeaunce
ought
to
be
such
vnto
them

as

For

And

sayth
not

that

sette

till

was

and
tooke
reproofe
as

and
neuer
sette
himselfe

but
ioyned

Not

that

And
when

ye
shall
receiue

.
Note
this
good
brethren
,
Peter
is
but
a
fellowe
Elder
with
his
brethren
,
Iesus
Christ
alone
.
And
to
conclude
this
point
:
if
Christ
gaue
not
any
one
the
preheminence
of
all
:
if
hee
appointed
not
a
Monarchye
,
but
a
Churche
gouernement
Aristo●●●ticall
(
videlicet
:
to
rule
by
sundry
)
〈…〉
no
larger
keyes
then
the
rest
,
if
he
tooke
no
more
vppon
him
then
a
fellowe
Elder
,
if
hee
became
not
a
comptroler
of
the
whole
Church
,
but
was
vnder
the
censure
of
his
brethren
that
did
discerne
him
:
how
canne
it
come
to
passe
,
were
hee
Peter
his
successour
(
as
Symon
Magus
doth
rather
challenge
him
)
that
vnder
the
name
of
Peter
the
Apostle
(
whose
limitation
by
Gods
spirite
was
ouer
the
Iewes
,
and
Paules
commission
,
rather
more
Bishoplike
ouer
the
Gentiles
)
this
Antichrist
of
Rome
,
shoulde
haue
such
aucthoritye
ouer
our
soueraigne
,
so
farre
distant
from
his
territorye
,
or
Bishopricke
,
as
to
excommunicate
her
Maiestie
,
to
discrownize
her
Royall
person
,
and
to
release
her
subiectes
from
the
bondes
of
their
alleageaunce
,
and
(
as
it
fitteth
the
nature
of
that
monstrous
Hydra
)
to
sanctifie
as
saintes
,
all
such
cursed
soules
,
as
woulde
embrue
their
handes
in
her
right
Innocent
bloude
.
The
aunswere

still
,
because

If
he
bee
demaunded
who
hath
endowed
him
with
this
power
,
these
miserable
Traytours
say
,
it
is
giuen
him
by
Christ
Iesus
our
Lorde
,
so
saith
the
Pope
himselfe
in
the
Canon
lawe
:
Pastoralis
cura
&c.
De
nec●ss●t●te
credendum
&c.
It
is
of
necessity
to
be
beleeued
,
that
euery
creature
is
subiect
to
the
Bishoppe
of
Rome
:
A●ayne
the
Pope
is
sette
ouer
all
asw●ll
ouer
all
Nations
as
kingdomes
.
Iesus
Christs
modesty
&
commaundement
to
his
Apostles
,
we
shall
easily
perceiue
,
that
from
him
neither
Peter
,
or
Pope
canne
haue
such
commission
.
The
kings
of
the
nations
raigne
ouer
them
saith
Christ
,
and
they
that
bee
great
exercise
aucthoritye
ouer
them
:
but
it
shall
not
bee
so
with
you
,
but
hee
that
will
bee
chiefe
amonge
you
let
him
bee
your
Minister
,
euen
as
the
sonne
of
manne
came
not
to
bee
ministred
vnto
but
to
minister
.
And
according
to
this
course
,
when
hee
sent
them
to
preache
into
the
worlde
after
his
assention
,
he
made
no
one
chiefe
of
them
,
to
aunswere
his
place
of
Prerogatiue
ouer
the
rest
,
but
reseruing
that
romth
to
himselfe
,
saying
:
beholde
,
Whosoeuer
shall
hunger
after
primacie
in
earth
,
shall
finde
confusion
in
heauen
.
Neyther
shall
he
be
numbred
among
the
seruants
of
Christ
,
which
contendeth
for
supremacie
.
Again
,
the
Bishop
of
the
first
or
chiefe
seat
shall
not
be
called
,
either
the
prince
of
Priests
,
or
the
high
or
chiefe
Priest
,
or
any
such
like
name
:
but
onely
the
bishop
of
Rome
himselfe
be
called
vniuersal
.
And
surely
if
the
holy
scriptures
had
giuen
such
preheminence
to
Peter
,
and
his
successors
,
both
the
first
Church
,
and
Councels
,
aswell
Nyce
as
Constantino●le
,
of
Ephesus
as
Calcedon
,
had
bene
ve●y
iniurious
to
the
holy
Apostle
,
and
his
successors
,
and
further
not
to
the
posteritie
in
the
Church
onely
,
but
also
to
their
owne
deserued
credites
:
all
which
time
and
councels
(
as
knowing
no
such
matter
)
did
giue
prerogatiue
to
euerie
Bishop
in
his
owne
sea
onely
,
Thou
shalt
not
kill
,
but
honour
the
king
,
was
Peters
doctrine
:
but
the
Popes
is
,
Thou
shalt
not
honour
,
but
kil
the
Queene
Elizabeth
if
so
thou
canst
,
as
the
Cardinals
letter
to
that
traytor
Pary
is
most
apparaunt
.
But
if
he
succeede
not
in
doctrine
his
other
succession
is
of
no
value
:
yet
what
other
succession
can
he
haue
?
By
the
cyuill
lawe
it
appeareth
,
that
there
bee
3.
sortes
of
succession
:
Successores
Iuri●
Rei
.
muneris
personalis
.
The
first
sorte
are
called
successors
vniuersall
,
and
these
be
as
heires
.
The
seconde
sorte
are
,
of
matters
or
goodes
acquyred
or
giuen
by
Legatorie
meanes
,
and
these
bee
called
successors
in
part
,
or
particular
.
The
third
sort
are
of
personall
giftes
,
&
these
be
called
successors
in
function
.
They
now
which
be
successors
of
the
first
,
or
second
sort
,
haue
their
right
and
authority
of
those
,
whose
successors
they
be
,
Wherefore
Leo
the
Pope
hath
shamefully
saide
this
blasphemie
,
that
Christ
hath
giuen
to
Peter
,
As
for
the
third
sort
of
succession
,
the
Pope
hath
naught
to
do
therewith
,
for
he
cannot
be
vniuersall
successor
to
him
,
that
hath
no
successour
at
all
,
but
doc●
supply
the
office

〈…〉
extinguished
,
but
remaineth

Non

I
will
not
builde
my
bo●ie
my
Church
vppon
thee
Pete
,
but
I
will
build
thee
vpon
me
.
So
then
the
kepes
by
S.
Augustines
iudgement
,
are
not
giuen
to
Peter
,
as
to
him
onely
or
in
chiefe
,
but
with
him
,
to
the
whole
Church
of
Christ
.
But
this
is
that
Sathanicall
pride
of
Rome
,
which
that
olde
Father
Barnard
,
so
long
since
sawe
,
&
reproued
in
theyr
Bishops
,
saying
:
In
times
past
ye
were
(
contrary
to
Peters
doctrine
)
Lords
ouer
Gods
heritage
,
and
against
his
Coapostle
Paule
his
doctrine
,
ye
beare
the
swaye
ouer
the
faith
of
the
worlde
,
but
nowe
ye●
haue
added
attempt
,
vsurping
mo●●
tyranny
against
〈◊〉
●●ligion
of
Chri●●
And
what
〈…〉
ye
transcend
the
heauens
,
&
presume
to
beare
rule
ouer
the
Angels
.
And
whereas
they
boast
of
Constantine
the
Emperor
,
that
hee
gaue
them
this
prerogatiue
,
to
be
ouer
the
Bishops
and
priests
of
the
earth
,
as
the
king
is
ouer
his
Iudges
&
to
haue
the
temporall
dominion
ouer
his
people
.
Note
I
pray
you
,
that
by
this
challenge
th●y
secretly
confesse
,
that
they
●aue
no
suche
power
for
theyr
Pope
by
Christ
,
but
by
the
grant
rather
of
Con●tantine
the
Emperor
.
And
who
can
bee
ignorant
the
euery
priuilege
is
a
bar
against
the
vniuersall
law
.
If
the
Pope
then
haue
but
now
this
priuilege
to
be
head
,
&c
then
it
sufficiently
appeareth
,
that
before
this
graunt
the
Bishop
of
Rome
had
no
more
right
,
then
by
the
common
cons●nt
of
the
councels
and
Church
,
other
Patriarkes
had
in
theyr
places
.
Which
common
consent
was
,
that
ech
patriarch
should
be
the
gouernor
of
his
owne
Prouince
,
and
not
to
thrust
himselfe
in●●
anothers
territory
.
And
here
obserue
〈◊〉
me
,
that
if
Constantine
could
by
right
〈◊〉
this
vniuersal
Church
power
from
〈…〉
,
it
is
certaine
,
that
at
the
time
of
this
gift
,
the
said
Emperor
was
Lorde
of
that
hee
gaue
,
and
before
this
,
●●d
this
preheminence
in
himselfe
.
For
Constantine
could
not
properly
giue
that
which
was
not
his
to
bestow
.
And
this
Obiection
Marsilius
Patauinus
laide
to
the
Popes
pride
200.
yeare
ago
,
In
decretis
reperitur
priuilegium
,
&c.
In
the
decree
(
saith
hee
)
it
is
saide
,
that
Constantine
gaue
to
Syluester
iurisdiction
vppon
all
the
Churches
in
the
world
,
&c.
that
the
Pope
and
his
cleargy
doth
holde
this
for
certaine
and
sound
,
it
is
by
consequence
certain
to
be
graunted
,
that
the
same
Constantine
,
before
this
graunt
,
had
in
his
power
and
person
,
the
prerogatiue
and
iurisdiction
ouer
the
Pope
,
and
all
his
cleargy
.
And
thus
you
see
by
the
holye
Scriptures
,
the
Popes
Canons
,
their
owne
confession
of
graunt
,
natural
reason
,
and
search
into
t●●
〈◊〉
●●ter
of
chalenge
,
〈◊〉
neither
Pete●
〈…〉
Pope
hath
〈◊〉
God
,
〈…〉
●ther
pow●
〈…〉
alone
wic●
〈…〉
which
is
inough
to
his
condemnation
,
except
hee
better
could
vse
it
.
And
you
see
that
Christian
kings
haue
power
in
them
to
compel
and
gouern
by
the
laws
of
GOD
,
aswell
Priestes
as
others
,
within
their
allotted
kingdomes
,
and
that
from
God
,
neither
can
they
be
discharged
thereof
,
though
they
committe
the
same
to
others
.
Then
let
vs
conclude
thus
,
that
wee
in
this
kingdome
of
England
,
beeing
no
parte
of
the
Romish
Bishoppes
territorie
,
are
not
within
the
compasse
of
hys
commission
,
and
therefore
hee
cannot
,
or
may
excommunicate
the
lowest
subiect
of
this
Lande
,
much
lesse
canne
hee
,
or
ought
to
dare
,
to
excommunicate
the
highest
soueraigne
therein
vnder
God
,
our
Elizabeth
,
the
Lordes
annointed
Queene
.
Then
looke
to
this
you
bewitched
Cath●likes
,
for
as
ye
are
borne
,
so
〈…〉
maiestie
,
〈…〉
you
from
〈…〉
you
,
〈…〉
maie●
〈…〉
For
excommunication
doth
neyther
depose
a
Prynce
of
his
Crowne
,
or
yet
his
Subiectes
of
their
loyaltie
.
Then
where
is
your
warraunt
for
her
murther
?
Christ
Iesus
speaking
of
excommunication
,
saith
thus
of
it
:
Lette
suche
a
one
whome
the
Church
rightlye
,
casteth
out
,
be
to
thee
as
an
heathen
or
as
a
publicane
.
But
it
is
euident
,
that
both
the
heathens
and
Publicans
,
were
admitted
their
possessions
,
continued
their
offices
,
and
were
obeyed
by
the
Church
.
And
Christ
Iesus
spirit
was
so
farre
off
from
killing
suche
,
that
hee
gaue
many
of
them
eternall
lyfe
,
and
chose
a
chiefe
of
them
into
his
Apostleshippe
.
But
was
not
Caesar
an
Heathen
prince
?
What
was
Nero
?
but
the
same
,
and
for
300.
yeares
after
Christ
,
the
rulers
were
no
better

Submit

he

But
〈…〉
Ca●●●likes
,
〈…〉
●elf
,
〈…〉
I
thinke
they
will
say
yes
.
Then
I
wil
offer
them
one
instant
of
a
Prince
excommunicated
by
the
Lorde
himselfe
,
and
yet
therefore
,
neyther
was
he
deposed
his
kingdome
,
by
Priest
or
people
,
or
was
it
lawfull
to
cease
to
doe
him
seruice
:
Saule
I
meane
the
king
of
Israell
.
Samuel
denounced
the
Lords
excommunication
,
saying
:
The
Lord
hath
cast
thee
out
from
being
king
,
&
the
Lord
hath
rent
the
kingdom
of
Israel
from
thee
this
day
,
and
hath
giuen
it
to
thy
neighbour
,
that
is
better
then
thou
.
Here
is
,
if
yee
note
it
,
a
famous
excommunication
by
the
Lorde
decreed
,
and
denounced
by
the
Prophet
Samuel
,
against
Saule
.
Yet
for
all
this
,
God
neyther
commaunded
Samuel
,
or
yet
Samuel
the
Subiectes
of
Saule
,
to
●●ll
backe
their
subiection
from
〈…〉
l●wfull

Fo●
〈…〉
lyfe
the●
〈…〉
And
t●
〈…〉
the
〈…〉
pretended
his
death
,
as
doe
our
present
Catholikes
.
This
assertion
is
confirmed
moste
surely
by
the
holie
annointed
Dauid
himselfe
,
and
that
by
his
oth
to
Abner
the
Counceller
of
Saule
,
and
Captaine
of
his
bande
,
moste
sharplie
reproouing
him
for
his
shamefull
sleepe
in
the
daungerous
Campe
,
saying
:
Abner
hearest
thou
not
?
And
art
thou
a
man
?
And
who
is
like
thee
in
Israel
(
so
trusted
of
the
king
,
or
put
in
suche
aucthoritie
?
)
Wherefore
then
hast
thou
not
kepte
thy
Lorde
the
King
?
Note
(
that
he
confesseth
Saule
,
notwithstanding
his
excommunication
,
still
yet
to
bee
Abner
his
Lorde
and
king
also
:
)
For
there
came
one
to
destroye
the
King
thy
Lorde
.
This
is
not
well
done
of
thee
.
As

Behold
beloued
,
by
how
manye
repetitions
,
Dauid
confirmeth
Saules
authoritie
ouer
his
seruauntes
in
Court
,
his
Subiects
in
Campe
,
yea
,
and
ouer
Dauid
himselfe
,
though
hee
bee
the
heire
apparaunt
to
the
Crowne
,
and
the
successor
to
Saule
,
euen
by
the
Lords
commaundement
,
so
annointed
.
To
Abner
he
saith
:
Saule
is
thy
Lord
,
he
saith
not
he
was
before
he
was
caste
out
,
and
before
my
day
of
annointment
,
but
Saule
is
still
thy
LORDE
and
king
.
Secondly
,
hee
saith
to
the
whole
seruantes
and
subiectes
of
Saule
:
As
the
Lorde
liueth
,
yee
are
guiltye
of
death
,
for
your
vnfaithfulnes
to
your

Prince

,
euen
for
this
,
that

hee
is
(
sayth
Dauid
)
your
Maister
,
your
King
,
and
stil
the
Lords
annointed
.
Wherefore
your
fealtie
in
faithfulnesse
is
still
his
,
giue
Caesar
therefore
his
owne
.
And
though
hee
doth
mee
greate
wrong
,
and
seeketh
my
lyfe
,
and
though
I
haue
in
my
band
Abishay
and
his
fellowes
,
which
as
men
deuoide
of
godlinesse
,
and
bounden
dutie
,
in
hope
of
helpe
by
mee
theyr
future
Prince
,
doe
hunger
the
death
,
and
offer
to
kill
the
Lordes
presente
annoynted
,
yet
neyther
will
I
suffer
mine
to
doe
so
wickedly
,
or
yet
my selfe
to
woorke
his
woe
,
neyther
can
I
with
good
conscience
doe
it
:
For
hee
is
my
Lorde
,
my
mayster
,
and
my
King
.
I
will
therefore
seeke
to
pacifie
hys
fury●
〈◊〉
petition
,
if
so
I
maye
,

〈…〉
my

〈…〉
,
with

aga●nst
my
〈…〉
Lordes
anoynted

〈…〉
I
beseeche
thee
,
heare
the
wordes
of
his
seruant
.
If
the
Lord
haue
stirred
thee
vp
against
me
,
let
him
smell
the
sauour
of
a
sacrifice
,
but
if
the
children
of
men
haue
done
it
,
cursed
bee
they
,
&c.
And
as
wee
see
Dauids
conclusion
for
the
still
continuant
dignitie
,
of
the
excommunicated
Saule
,
so
I
pray
you
,
let
vs
obserue
the
hast
and
hate
of
Abishay
,
who
made
no
bones
to
shed
the
blood
of
the
Lordes
present
annointed
,
in
colour
of
dutie
&
loue
to
the
future
prince
,
as
more
fit
to
raigne
,
and
lawfully
elected
.
But
let
vs
with
holy
Dauid
,
set
the
staffe
of
our
rest
in
this
his
stay
,
and
defende
the
state
and
life
of
our
presente
Prince
,
and
that
so
muche
the
more
,
for
that
our
Elizabeth
is
blessed
of
God
,
as
by
his
myraculous
hand
for
her
wonderfull
deliuerance
,
he
doth
assure
vs

And
〈…〉
Ab●
〈…〉
Deliuer
vs

&
saue
our
gracious
Elizabeth
for
thy
holy

sake
.
Finally
note
this
besotted
,
it
is
not
very
difficulte
to
discerne
Abyshaye
,
whose
course
is
to
counterfeite
obedience
,
in
ciuill
sort
to
the
present
Dauid
,
but
in
the
meane
,
hee
sodainely
selleth
his
former
profession
,
and
hauing
an
eye
to
after
helpe
,
and
present
fauour
,
he
sorteth
his
shewe
with
other
such
,
and
(
that
of
the
sodaine
)
as
euery
way
bend
their
affection
,
to
the
religion
,
and
disposition
of
their
long
hoped
future
Prince
.
If
any
therefore
thus
far
seduced
,
do
feather
their
winge
against
the
present
winde
,
and
sodainly
shoote
with
Romish
shaft
,
though
not
with
cried
aime
,
at
the
proffering
pricke
,
refusing
our

,
or
once
more

that

their

is
firmely

the

,
that
their

and

their

if

But

But

giue

yea
all
the

of
them
,

deadly

at

of

Elizabeth
.
And
further
now
deare
brethren
,
let
vs
call
this
Quare
,
once
againe
into
question
,
so
shall
we
see
as
before
is
said
,
to
our
great
comfort
,
how
vnable
our
papists
be
,
to
perfect
their
proud
attempt
.
Quare
?
Why
doe
you
saith
Dauid
that
so
proudely
,
which
neuer
can
of
your
parts
be
atchieued
?
your
tumultes
must
bee
ouerturned
,
your
meditations
for
murther
,
shal
be
of
no
moment
,
your
banding
shall
sod●inel●
〈…〉
your
consult
,
or
〈…〉
●sion
,
and
〈…〉
our
〈…〉
chris●
〈…〉
whom
the
God
of
strength
hath
set
vp
,
&
decreed
to
maintaine
?
He
wil
therfore
laugh
at
your
destruction
,
wil
speake
to
you
,
by
his
anger
,
&
vexe
you
in
his
sore
displeasure
,
he
will
destroye
all
you
and
yours
,
which
sought
his
ouerthrowe
in
his
annointed
,
&
breake
you
into
yeeces
as
the
potter
doth
his
brittle
&
fiery
clay
.
Wherfore
be
wise
ye
Princes
&c.
Euen
thus
doth
the
Lord
still
speak
,
&
alwayes
hath
against
traytors
hande
,
for
his
annointed
.
The
conclusion
of
your
conspiracy
(
ye
papists
)
is
as
these
traytors
of
old
.
Come
let
vs
break
their
bands
asunder
,
&
cast
their
coards
from
vs
.
But
your
practise
,
is
proud
,
your
presumption
is
perillous
but
ridiculous
for
your
purpose
by
indeuour
appeareth
to
be
no
lesse
,
th●
to
bereaue
our
Dauid
Elizabeth
the
Lords
annointed
of
her
life
our
church
of
〈…〉
his
blessed
gospel
,
〈…〉
possessed
〈…〉
●mpiety
&
〈…〉
more
〈…〉
it
〈…〉
Let
vs
breake
their
bandes
,
let
vs
cast
their
coards
.
First
beloued
these
words
ioyning
iust
with
our
present
Catholiques
purpose
,
doe
offer
vs
the
view
of
their
trayterous
pride
,
and
infernall
confidence
,
which
doth
consist
in
themselues
,
their
furniture
,
and
multitude
,
euen
as
the
heathen
did
of
aid
against
Dauid
,
Some
put
their
trust
in
horses
,
and
some
in
Chariots
,
but
our
trust
is
in
the
name
(
the
power
and
strength
)
of
our
God
.
Secondly
that
their
indeuour
is
,
not
to
better
,
or
to
reforme
the
state
of

To

lette

of

Why
doe
ye

&c.
In

,
in
vain
,
yea
,
and
that
in
a
double
vanitie
,
doe
our
Papists
conspire
and
rage
.
For
neither
shall
they
bee
able
to
hurt
our
gratious
Queene
Elizabeth
,
nor
yet
be
able
to
auoide
Gods
heauie
displeasure
by
the
hand
of

They
shall
neuer
preuaile

The
eternal
decree
is
sette
downe
in
this
Psalme
.
First
,
for
the
Lord
Christ
in
his
Church
,
that
hee
shall
raigne
ouer
the
kinges
of
the
earth
for
euer
,
and
nexte
,
for
his
annointed
Princes
,
that
they
shall
raigne
in
his
Syon
,
vnder
him
their
Lorde
and
king
,
maugre
their
enemies
,
during
his
time
limited
for
them
.
Therefore
neyther
Resyn
,
nor
hys
partner
Romelia
,
nor
yet
the
purposed
sonne
of
Tabeall
,
canne
preuayle
against
Ierusalem
,
(
It
shall
not
bee
)
how
cunning
,
mightie
,
or
Catholike
soeuer
hee
the
conspiracie
:
for
earthlie
councel
cannot
preuayle
against
the
Lorde
.
So
as
to
our
singular
comfortes
,
and
Gods
eternall
praise
(
beloued
in
Christ
)
wee
may
safely
apply
this
saying
of
our
most
louing
GOD
,
to
our
Church
,
and
kingdome
,
because
through
his
greate
mercie
,
All
thy
Children
shall
bee
taught
of
GOD
,
and
much
peace
shall
bee
to
thy
Children
.
In
righteousnesse
shalt
thou
bee
established
,
and
bee
free
from
oppression
and
from
feare
:
For
it
shall
not
come
neare
thee
,
beholde
the
enemie
shall
gather
himselfe
,
but
without
me
.
Whosoeuer
shal
gather
himselfe
in
thee
against
mee
,
shal
fall
:
Beholde
,
I
haue
created
the
Smyth
that
bloweth
the
coales
in
the
fire
,
and
hym
that
bringeth
foorth
an
Instrument
for
hys
woorke
,
and
I
haue
created
the
destroyer
to
destroye
,
but
all
the
weapons
that
are
made
against
thee
shall
not
prosper
,
and
euerie
tongue
that
shall
ryse
against
thee
,
thou
●halt
condemne
.
This
is
the
heritage
of
the
Lords
seruants
,
and
the
righteousnesse
is
of
me
sayth
the
Lord
This
is
the

In

were
