A
briefe
discouerie
of
Doctor
Allens
seditious
drifts
,
contriued
in
a
Pamphlet
written
by
him
,
Concerning
the
yeelding
vp
of
the
Towne
of
Deuenter
(
in
Ouerissel
)
vnto
the
King
of
Spaine
,
by
Sir
W.
Stanley
.
SInon
the
subtil
Greek
,
(
in
whose
Whose
president
Doctor
Allen
seeming
verie
rightly
to
haue
imitated
,
as
well
in
the
matter
,
as
in
the
methode
of
this
his
politike
Pamphlet
,
first
because
he
will
haue
it
seeme
to
proceede
of
an
occasion
offered
,
and
not
of
his
owne
voluntarie
motion
,
least
his
intent
therin
might
be
suspected
,
and
S.
W.
Stanleys
and
Captaine
Yorkes
action
,
in
rendring
vp
the
Towne
of
Deuenter
and
Fortes
of
Zutphen
vnto
the
Duke
of
Parma
:
and
thereupon
taketh
occasion
in
his
answere
thereunto
,
to
fall
(
as
it
were
by
the
way
)
into
a
further
matter
,
whereto
in
truth
the
whole
purpose
of
his
treatie
was
from
the
beginning
intended
.
A
sorie
shift
of
so
cunning
a
Clerke
,
in
an
Apes
skin
to
couer
a
Foxe
,
whom
euen
his
verie
taile
may
bewraie
.
As
though
men
were
so
simple
,
or
of
so
slender
iudgement
,
as
that
they
could
not
discerne
by
the
stile
,
the
letter
and
answere
to
bee
both
S.
William
Stanley
and
Capt.
Yorke
,
and
other
like
Romain
Catholikes
,
touching
the
lawfulnes
of
the
yeelding
vp
of
Deuenter
and
Zutphen
Fortes
,
if
this
were
not
a
sufficient
argument
thereof
,
that
the
parties
themselues
neuer
made
conscience
or
question
of
the
matter
,
either
before
the
yeelding
of
them
,
or
since
,
and
therefore
needed
no
such
resolution
as
D.
Allen
will
needs
intreat
himselfe
to
offer
them
,
which
were
and
are
still
as
resolute
as
himselfe
in
disobedience
:
the
verie
plaine
dealing
of
D.
Allen
himselfe
generally
throughout
the
whole
Pamphlet
,
but
particularly
in
the
latter
and
greater
halfe
of
it
,
maketh
the
thing
more
then
manifest
,
as
shal
be
laide
open
vnto
you
more
at
large
,
when
wee
come
to
the
particular
handeling
of
that
point
.
I
am
sorie
that
I
should
haue
such
occasion
giuen
mee
,
euen
in
the
verie
first
entrance
to
vse
a
D.
Allen
is
,
or
should
be
,
as
to
liken
him
to
one
,
in
whom
the
verie
Prince
of
Poets
emploied
his
best
witte
and
skill
,
in
liueliest
colours
,
to
expresse
the
true
shape
and
substance
of
a
most
subtil
and
malicious
dissembler
:
for
in
truth
I
doe
naturally
and
inwardly
hate
all
immodestie
,
bitternes
,
and
violence
of
speech
,
generally
in
all
actions
of
life
and
conuersation
,
and
especially
in
these
of
controuersie
and
confutation
,
where
the
trueth
is
to
bee
defended
,
not
our
owne
passions
displaied
,
the
aduersarie
with
reason
conuinced
,
not
with
railing
defaced
,
his
sinister
and
lewde
dealings
orderly
reprooued
,
not
his
person
in
any
wise
vndecently
outraged
.
But
D.
Allen
haue
in
this
Pamphlet
both
in
manner
and
matter
so
rightlie
resembled
Sinon
,
as
that
hee
hath
not
left
mee
the
choice
of
anie
man
to
whom
I
may
so
rightly
resemble
him
,
as
to
Sinon
,
it
is
hee
himselfe
(
and
not
I
)
that
hath
made
himselfe
comparable
to
Sinon
.
Nay
,
if
it
appeare
further
by
this
Pamphlet
,
that
he
hath
the
verie
minde
,
meaning
,
intent
,
and
counsell
of
Sinon
,
by
like
solemne
protestations
and
subtill
persuasions
,
vnder
colour
of
Religion
to
intice
you
(
I
meane
such
as
are
wholie
deuoted
to
his
Religion
,
or
haue
been
affected
to
his
doctrine
,
or
can
be
allured
by
his
enchantments
)
to
prostrate
and
laie
open
your
Countrey
,
by
your
armes
and
assistance
,
to
bring
in
the
Spanish
and
other
forreine
forces
,
to
the
certaine
ruine
,
destruction
,
and
ouerthrow
both
of
your selues
and
your
Countrey
:
I
thinke
I
may
lawfully
without
iust
touch
of
malice
or
immodestie
,
bee
bold
to
shew
you
his
shadow
in
a
glasse
,
that
hideth
his
bodie
from
you
vnder
a
glosse
,
and
by
the
example
of
his
doings
whom
this
man
so
liuely
resembleth
,
laie
before
your
eies
the
verie
marke
,
which
hee
so
cunninglie
aimeth
at
:
to
the
ende
that
beeing
once
warned
,
you
may
bee
euer
armed
against
his
pernicious
practises
.
But
I
know
it
will
bee
a
matter
of
great
labour
and
difficultie
for
mee
to
persuade
you
that
are
of
D.
Allens
religion
,
to
see
or
acknowledge
anie
errour
,
falshood
,
or
malicious
intent
in
him
,
because
you
are
alreadie
setled
in
persuasion
of
his
learning
,
sinceritie
,
and
goodnes
of
his
cause
,
and
carrie
the
contrarie
opinion
of
mee
,
because
you
esteeme
mee
to
bee
of
a
contrarie
Religion
both
to
him
and
your selues
.
Albeit
my
purpose
is
not
particularly
either
to
drawe
him
into
discredit
with
you
,
or
to
withdraw
you
from
the
Religion
you
professe
(
though
I
could
bee
content
(
nay
most
willing
and
desirous
)
to
hazarde
mine
owne
life
in
trauelling
to
winne
you
to
the
true
waie
of
eternall
life
:
)
but
onelie
to
laie
open
his
errours
and
abuses
to
the
worlde
indifferentlie
,
that
such
as
haue
eares
to
heart
,
maie
heare
,
and
such
as
are
not
wilfullie
blinde
maie
see
,
and
satisfie
themselues
accordinglie
:
yet
if
either
by
example
or
persuasions
,
I
maie
stirre
you
vp
to
the
straighter
examination
of
your
consciences
,
and
better
consideration
of
the
groundes
of
your
religion
,
togither
with
more
aduised
deliberation
,
how
you
giue
credit
to
mens
counsailes
,
or
enter
into
their
confederacies
,
and
consequentlie
into
your
owne
destructions
,
I
shall
thinke
my selfe
,
of
all
thinges
that
euer
happened
or
can
happen
to
mee
,
most
happie
in
this
,
that
it
hath
pleased
God
to
make
me
the
meanes
of
so
happie
an
effect
to
you
.
Of
whom
I
will
therefore
thinke
it
no
skorne
to
craue
I
will
not
in
truth
(
neither
can
I
if
I
would
)
denie
my selfe
to
bee
of
that
religion
,
wherein
I
haue
been
bred
and
brought
vp
euen
from
mine
infancie
,
that
is
,
the
true
ancient
,
Catholike
,
and
Apostolike
religion
professed
in
the
Church
of
England
,
which
the
Romanists
do
so
much
impugne
,
and
so
earnestlie
endeuour
to
supplant
.
But
as
I
doe
confesse
my selfe
most
stedfastlie
to
holde
that
Religion
,
and
therein
to
stand
fullie
resolued
:
so
do
I
vnfainedlie
protest
,
that
since
I
came
to
the
yeares
of
reason
and
discretion
to
conceiue
what
Religion
was
,
I
neuer
held
anie
opinion
obstinatelie
,
as
one
that
beeing
in
an
errour
should
hate
to
bee
reformed
,
but
came
first
to
the
reading
and
consideration
of
those
thinges
which
it
behooued
I
beleeue
as
the
Queene
beleeues
:
But
I
thinke
it
the
duetie
of
a
Christian
still
to
endeuour
to
informe
himselfe
how
hee
ought
to
serue
God
,
and
not
to
pinne
his
soule
on
another
mans
sleeue
.
Such
a
reuerend
regard
haue
I
alwaies
had
,
and
euer
will
haue
of
Religion
,
as
a
matter
of
saluation
,
not
as
euerie
common
action
of
mans
life
,
as
a
thing
to
bee
measured
not
by
opinion
,
but
by
trueth
,
to
bee
chosen
not
by
example
,
but
by
iudgement
,
to
bee
holden
not
for
companie
,
but
for
conscience
.
If
you
also
haue
the
same
measure
,
choice
,
and
grounde
of
your
Religion
,
as
in
reason
you
ought
to
haue
:
it
maie
happlie
fall
out
,
that
the
discouerie
of
the
weakenes
of
D.
Allens
arguments
,
and
of
his
deceitfull
and
malicious
dealing
in
this
his
Pamphlet
,
as
it
hath
confirmed
in
mee
the
Religion
I
hold
,
so
it
maie
alter
in
you
the
opinion
you
haue
hitherto
persisted
in
:
and
not
without
great
cause
,
knowing
that
the
naked
trueth
seeketh
neither
cloake
nor
corner
,
nor
a
simple
and
good
cause
,
anie
subtill
,
or
bad
conueyance
.
Let
not
then
anie
preiudicate
opinion
of
my
Religion
differing
from
yours
,
withdraw
you
from
the
patient
reading
and
considering
of
my
simple
discourse
,
no
more
then
the
like
opinion
of
D.
Allens
Religion
hath
withdrawen
me
from
the
diligent
perusing
and
perpending
of
his
subtill
pamphlet
,
a
greater
learned
and
farre
more
cunning
allurer
then
myselfe
:
especially
seeing
,
that
it
is
no
part
of
my
meaning
herein
,
either
to
impugne
your
Religion
,
which
is
nothing
at
all
fortified
by
this
pamphlet
:
or
to
strengthen
mine
owne
,
which
is
as
little
weakened
thereby
:
for
those
pointes
I
leaue
to
Diuines
,
if
there
be
any
that
thinke
it
worth
the
reading
,
or
answering
.
For
mine
own
part
I
find
nothing
in
it
,
for
which
I
would
haue
cast
away
so
much
paper
and
inck
,
sauing
onely
a
cunning
conueiance
of
pernicious
driftes
,
tending
to
the
practise
of
sedition
&
mischiefe
,
which
I
thought
fit
to
be
displayed
and
laied
open
to
the
world
,
that
the
simple
and
such
as
giue
too
much
credit
to
his
doctrine
,
might
not
be
therewith
deceiued
,
and
thereby
drawne
to
their
owne
vtter
destruction
:
and
on
the
other
side
,
that
such
as
are
of
more
capacity
,
and
iudgement
,
either
better
affected
in
religion
,
or
men
indifferent
,
seeing
the
monstrous
shiftes
vsed
by
such
a
principall
Romaine
Catholike
,
as
D.
Allen
is
,
might
thereby
take
a
Caueat
,
to
be
the
more
wary
,
how
they
yeeld
themselues
to
be
seduced
by
such
Catholiks
perswasions
.
But
let
vs
now
come
to
the
examination
of
this
pamphlet
,
and
see
what
it
is
that
maister
Doctor
vndertaketh
therein
,
and
how
well
he
perfourmeth
his
taske
.
He
pretendeth
vpon
occasion
of
the
former
counterfeit
letter
(
which
I
mentioned
to
you
before
)
to
resolue
the
consciences
of
those
English
men
which
were
the
yeelders
vp
of
Deuenter
and
Zutphen
fortes
to
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
touching
the
lawfulnes
of
their
action
:
Wherof
though
he
had
alreadie
by
his
letters
to
Sir
William
Stanley
,
giuen
his
opinion
,
as
he
saith
,
yet
he
will
,
for
better
clearing
of
the
cause
,
set
here
downe
his
mind
more
largely
and
distinctly
.
BEfore
I
runne
into
the
particulars
,
I
must
note
vnto
you
a
thing
in
generall
,
which
is
not
to
be
omitted
.
I
assure
you
though
I
be
farre
from
the
profession
of
Diuinity
,
yet
can
I
not
but
blush
to
see
a
thing
written
by
way
of
a
Resolution
for
the
satisfying
of
mens
consciences
(
being
a
matter
of
Diuinity
)
a
treatise
of
60.
pages
,
and
not
so
much
in
all
as
halfe
6.
textes
of
Scripture
cited
for
confirmation
of
the
matter
proposed
,
either
directly
or
indirectly
:
especially
being
done
by
an
ancient
D.
of
Diuinity
,
by
estimation
singularly
well
read
and
learned
,
and
the
onely
man
of
name
among
all
the
English
Catholikes
.
Rome
,
should
vndertake
to
resolue
mens
consciences
in
a
matter
of
Christian
duty
(
yea
whereon
he
pretendeth
saluation
or
damnation
to
depend
)
only
with
a
Chaos
of
wordes
,
a
confusion
of
arguments
,
drawne
from
morall
philosophie
,
the
law
of
Nature
,
and
heathen
constitutions
,
and
with
definitions
,
distinctions
,
and
authorities
fet
from
Plato
,
Aristotle
,
Cicero
,
&c:
leauing
vtterly
all
proofes
,
arguments
,
and
authorities
of
holy
Scripture
,
yea
skarce
so
much
as
alleadging
one
text
by
way
of
exhortation
?
In
mine
opinion
men
are
in
common
sense
to
iudge
,
that
either
the
matter
is
very
bad
,
and
not
iustifiable
by
Gods
word
,
which
yeeldeth
not
sufficient
argument
or
authority
(
nay
none
at
all
)
for
the
defense
of
it
:
or
that
such
Diuinity
;
or
els
plaine
Atheists
&
Hypocrits
,
in
carying
onely
the
bare
name
of
Religion
on
their
backes
,
for
a
cloake
to
their
disguised
practises
,
and
neglecting
wholly
the
ground
and
substance
thereof
,
in
their
cogitations
,
doctrine
,
and
perswasions
.
But
the
lesse
M.
D.
hath
vsed
the
proofes
of
Scripture
and
Diuinity
in
this
argument
,
though
it
be
nothing
the
more
for
his
owne
commendation
,
or
for
the
credit
of
his
Doctrine
,
yet
haue
I
the
lesse
cause
to
be
displeased
with
it
,
considering
that
he
hath
thereby
made
it
the
fitter
for
so
meane
a
scholler
as
my selfe
(
no
Diuine
at
all
)
to
deale
with
,
and
the
easier
for
any
man
to
ouerthrow
.
Albeit
my
purpose
is
not
(
in
truth
)
so
much
to
enter
into
the
particular
confutation
of
his
arguments
(
which
are
indeede
none
at
all
,
or
not
The
maine
proposition
and
ground
of
his
first
That
euery
thing
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
from
the
true
owners
,
whether
they
be
by
fraud
or
violence
come
by
,
according
to
all
Diuine
,
and
humane
lawes
,
&
by
the
very
rule
of
nature
,
ought
to
be
restored
to
them
to
whom
they
duely
perteine
.
M.
Doctor
would
seeme
by
speech
to
drawe
his
argument
from
Diuinity
,
and
yet
not
so
entirely
from
Diuinity
,
but
that
he
can
be
content
with
Diuine
lawes
,
to
mingle
both
humane
lawes
,
and
the
rule
of
Nature
:
how
be
it
his
maner
of
prosecuting
it
,
togither
with
his
authorities
which
he
alleageth
,
do
argue
it
rather
to
bee
deriued
principally
from
the
rule
of
Morall
iustice
,
which
That
euery
thing
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
,
ought
to
be
restored
to
the
true
owners
,
without
adding
by
whom
it
ought
be
restored
,
and
concludeth
(
as
he
must
needes
,
if
he
conclude
to
his
purpose
)
definitely
,
that
is
,
That
it
ought
to
be
restored
by
Sir
William
Stanley
&c.
Whereby
he
maketh
his
argument
consist
of
foure
termini
(
as
the
Logicians
terme
it
)
which
is
a
foule
fault
in
logike
,
termini
.
as
euery
wrangling
sophister
of
halfe
a
yeares
standing
in
the
Vniuersity
can
tell
you
.
Therefore
good
M.
D.
set
downe
your
proposition
certaine
,
and
reason
ad
idem
,
and
then
we
will
yeelde
it
to
be
true
:
that
is
,
That
euery
thing
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
,
from
the
true
owners
ought
to
be
restored
to
them
againe
,
that
is
,
by
them
that
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
it
:
(
for
there
is
no
man
bound
to
satisfaction
,
neither
by
Diuine
nor
humane
lawes
,
nor
by
the
rule
of
Nature
,
but
he
onely
that
hath
done
the
wrong
:
)
and
so
will
I
agree
with
you
,
that
,
whatsoeuer
Sir
William
Stanley
and
the
rest
had
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
did
vniustly
deteine
from
the
king
of
Spayne
,
ought
to
be
by
them
restored
vnto
him
againe
.
But
you
know
well
inough
,
and
all
men
know
that
Deuenter
,
&
Zutphen
fortes
were
neither
obteined
,
nor
deteined
wrongfully
by
Sir
William
Stanley
and
his
complices
,
but
quietly
,
peaceably
,
iustly
and
by
lawfull
authority
deliuered
vnto
them
in
charge
and
custodie
,
vnder
her
Maiestie
,
by
my
L.
of
Leicester
her
Lieutenant
there
:
and
therfore
were
not
they
any
way
bound
to
the
restitution
of
them
(
sauing
only
vnto
those
of
whom
they
had
receiued
them
)
being
neither
obteiners
,
nor
deteiners
of
them
,
but
onely
ministers
of
their
Princes
commandement
.
For
howsoeuer
the
towne
and
fortes
were
obteined
,
yet
the
subiect
being
tyed
to
his
Prince
by
allegeance
and
oth
,
and
hauing
vpon
that
othe
receiued
from
his
Prince
,
or
her
lawfull
deputy
,
any
place
of
charge
to
keepe
and
hold
to
her
vse
,
is
not
to
iustice
,
which
giueth
vnto
euery
man
his
owne
,
and
in
such
case
tyeth
her
to
restitution
of
whatsoeuer
she
wrongfully
Iustice
,
whose
foundation
,
(
as
your
owne
Author
Cicero
affirmeth
)
is
Faith
,
tieth
them
to
the
performance
of
their
faith
and
oath
giuen
vnto
their
Prince
:
which
oath
how
litle
authoritie
your
Popes
Bull
hath
to
dispense
withall
,
as
learned
men
as
yourselfe
M.
Doctor
(
without
offence
of
comparison
)
haue
alreadie
discussed
.
And
therefore
let
them
,
whose
consciences
you
vndertake
to
satisfie
,
examine
their
consciences
better
touching
the
lawfulnes
of
this
their
action
.
Thus
you
see
M.
Doctors
subtil
Sophistication
,
and
how
litle
his
principall
Basis
,
whereon
he
buildeth
his
whole
argument
,
serueth
his
purpose
.
But
,
that
you
may
see
the
weakenes
of
the
rest
of
his
consequences
,
as
well
as
of
this
foundation
,
let
vs
for
good
fellowship
grant
him
this
proposition
euen
in
such
sort
as
hee
putteth
it
(
that
wee
maie
haue
more
of
his
custome
)
and
suffer
him
to
proceed
,
that
wee
maie
see
how
he
will
conclude
.
Euerie
thing
(
saith
hee
)
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
from
the
true
owners
,
whether
it
be
by
fraude
or
violence
come
by
,
ought
to
be
restored
to
them
,
to
whom
it
duely
perteineth
.
What
inferreth
he
hereupon
?
But
the
Towne
of
Deuenter
&
the
Forts
of
Zutphen
were
both
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
from
the
true
owner
(
viz.
the
King
of
Spaine
)
beeing
by
fraude
or
violence
come
by
,
by
the
Queene
of
England
.
Ergo
,
The
Towne
of
Deuenter
and
the
Forts
of
Zutphen
ought
to
bee
restored
(
and
therefore
were
lawfully
and
iustly
restored
)
to
the
King
of
Spaine
,
by
S.
W.
Stanley
and
Capt.
Yorke
,
who
had
the
charge
and
keeping
of
them
for
and
vnder
the
Q.
of
England
.
Here
may
you
now
(
by
the
way
)
more
plainely
discerne
the
fault
of
his
argument
,
whereof
I
told
you
before
,
which
he
himselfe
hath
not
so
laied
togither
nor
reduced
into
streight
forme
,
in
his
pamphlet
,
least
the
fault
should
too
easily
be
espied
,
but
to
colour
his
fallacie
,
hath
gone
about
the
bush
with
a
circumstance
of
words
,
creeping
slilie
by
degrees
to
the
top
of
his
intent
,
thinking
by
that
meanes
to
steale
it
away
vndescried
,
as
in
truth
he
might
easily
from
plaine
simple
men
,
and
such
as
are
no
schollers
,
which
might
well
haue
suffised
his
turne
,
for
he
seeketh
no
more
:
But
let
a
man
of
anie
meane
iudgement
marke
it
,
and
lay
it
together
,
and
it
is
presently
discouered
.
For
the
argument
is
euident
inough
,
and
cannot
be
otherwise
framed
to
his
purpose
,
as
any
man
of
reason
maie
plainely
perceiue
,
and
he
himselfe
(
I
am
sure
)
will
not
denie
.
Now
to
examine
his
Minor
,
marke
,
I
pray
you
,
of
how
manie
partes
it
consisteth
.
-
1.
First
:
that
the
towne
of
Deuenter
,
and
Zutphen
fortes
were
both
wrongfully
obteined
and
vniustly
deteined
from
the
k.
of
Spaine
by
the
Q.
of
England
.
-
2.
That
the
k.
of
Spaine
is
the
true
owner
of
them
.
-
3.
That
they
were
by
fraude
,
or
violence
come
by
,
by
the
Queene
of
England
.
All
these
three
seuerall
pointes
ought
D.
Allen
to
proue
,
or
els
he
proueth
not
his
argument
:
&
yet
of
the
two
latter
hath
he
not
spoken
a
word
,
more
then
a
bare
affirmation
:
of
the
first
he
hath
spoken
much
,
and
proued
iust
nothing
.
But
because
his
manner
of
reasoning
is
not
close
and
well
knit
togither
,
but
in
a
declamatorie
kind
,
which
is
fitter
for
his
purpose
to
perswade
,
though
not
so
forcible
in
reason
to
proue
,
I
will
endeuour
to
seuer
his
Logike
from
his
Rhetorike
,
and
gather
his
arguments
aparte
,
that
we
may
see
what
,
and
how
directly
he
proueth
.
Whatsoeuer
(
saith
he
)
is
obteined
by
vnlawfull
warres
,
and
so
deteined
,
is
both
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
.
But
the
Queene
of
Englands
warres
in
the
low
countries
,
whereby
she
obteined
Deuenter
and
Zutphen
fortes
,
and
so
deteined
them
,
are
altogither
vnlawfull
.
Ergo
,
The
towne
of
Deuenter
&
Zutphen
fortes
were
both
wrongfully
obteined
,
and
vniustly
deteined
by
the
Q.
of
England
(
from
the
true
owner
,
the
k.
of
Spaine
.
)
For
this
must
also
be
added
to
his
conclusion
,
otherwise
doth
he
not
fully
proue
the
Minor
,
of
his
former
argument
,
which
he
is
to
proue
:
Wherein
if
a
man
would
stand
with
him
vpon
euery
strict
point
,
he
might
iustly
say
this
argument
is
euen
as
good
as
the
former
,
for
there
is
Conclusion
,
then
is
conteined
in
both
the
Praemisses
.
But
let
that
go
,
and
let
vs
graunt
him
also
his
Maior
,
and
come
directly
to
his
Minor
,
viz.
That
the
Queene
of
Englands
warres
in
the
low
countries
,
whereby
she
obteined
Deuenter
and
Zutphen
fortes
,
and
so
deteined
them
,
are
altogither
vnlawfull
.
What
if
we
should
deny
,
first
that
the
Queenes
Secondly
,
and
if
she
did
,
yet
that
she
obteined
not
Deuenter
by
warres
?
D.
Allen
is
able
to
proue
neither
of
them
,
and
Deuenter
,
neither
did
her
Maiestie
obteine
it
by
warres
(
for
the
towne
did
voluntarily
of
itselfe
receiue
,
nay
,
they
earnestly
desired
our
garrison
:
)
neither
did
her
Maiestie
obteine
it
at
al
,
for
it
was
neuer
hers
,
neither
did
she
euer
claime
it
,
or
accept
it
as
her
owne
,
but
onely
was
content
at
the
request
of
the
better
sort
of
the
towne
,
for
their
safety
,
to
put
her
soldiours
into
it
,
to
defend
it
.
So
is
M.
But
I
know
he
will
say
these
are
but
cauils
,
for
tryall
whereof
,
I
referre
them
to
the
iudgement
of
any
man
of
reason
and
indifferencie
,
which
hath
bene
rightly
informed
therein
:
howbeit
,
because
,
if
I
will
stand
vpon
them
,
he
is
able
to
go
no
further
,
I
am
therefore
content
to
ouerpasse
them
and
suffer
him
to
proceede
.
I
pray
you
let
vs
see
how
hee
proueth
The
English
warres
in
the
low
countries
(
seeing
so
it
pleaseth
him
to
terme
them
warres
)
to
be
altogither
vnlawfull
.
His
rule
whereby
he
measureth
the
lawfulnes
of
warres
,
is
fet
from
Cicero
,
who
saith
in
his
books
De
Republica
,
as
Isidorus
citeth
it
:
The
warre
is
iust
,
which
is
denounced
for
recompence
or
reuenge
of
iniuries
,
and
annoyance
,
or
for
defence
against
enimies
.
This
position
being
laied
,
because
the
Queens
Marshall
not
iustifie
her
doings
vpon
anye
title
she
hath
to
the
low
countries
(
which
is
without
the
compasse
of
his
diuision
)
he
presupposeth
that
all
the
world
knoweth
that
shee
can
make
no
iust
claime
to
Holland
,
Zeland
,
or
any
other
of
those
parts
which
she
hath
(
as
he
saith
)
by
armes
seised
on
:
all
those
prouinces
being
confessed
to
〈◊〉
his
Catholike
Maiesties
ancient
and
vndoubtfull
inheritance
.
These
matters
concerning
Princes
titles
are
fitter
for
other
men
then
M.
D.
&
me
to
decide
:
therfore
I
wil
not
take
vpon
me
to
say
any
thing
touching
her
Maiesties
right
to
the
low
countries
,
or
any
part
of
them
,
howsoeuer
D.
Allen
dares
affirme
them
all
to
be
the
king
of
Spaines
ancient
and
vndoubtfull
inheritance
,
by
what
authority
I
know
not
:
but
how
ancient
and
vndoubted
soeuer
hee
maketh
it
,
I
am
sure
men
better
acquainted
with
those
causes
then
he
,
do
not
onely
doubt
of
the
kings
title
to
sundry
of
the
prouinces
,
but
are
flatly
resolued
the
contrary
.
But
it
is
beside
my
purpose
,
and
therefore
I
leaue
it
.
Now
let
vs
see
how
he
proueth
the
English
warres
(
as
he
termeth
them
)
in
the
low
countries
to
be
neither
for
recompence
or
reuenge
of
iniuries
and
annoyance
,
nor
for
defence
against
enimies
,
&
therefore
not
iust
,
according
Cicero
.
The
defence
(
saith
he
)
of
the
kings
rebels
against
their
most
iust
Lord
&
Souereigne
is
no
lawful
nor
honorable
quarrell
of
war
;
neither
haue
the
said
Traytors
and
rebels
any
authority
to
yeelde
vp
their
Souereignes
townes
,
and
portes
into
his
enimies
handes
,
or
themselues
to
the
English
protection
or
subiection
.
All
this
is
but
a
bare
affirmation
,
which
being
[

](A19742-e2660-b)
1
Besides
,
in
this
assertion
he
doth
petere
principium
,
assume
that
which
is
all
the
matter
in
question
.
plaine
petitio
principij
,
which
is
a
grosse
error
in
Logike
,
whe●…e
groundeth
his
argument
vpon
that
which
is
itselfe
in
question
.
For
he
presumeth
the
people
of
all
the
low
countries
to
be
the
k.
of
Spaines
rebels
,
&
him
their
most
iust
Lord
and
Souereigne
:
which
is
the
whole
matter
in
controuersie
.
So
you
see
this
argument
is
cleane
cut
off
by
the
roote
.

point

In
the
latter
part
of
this
pamphlet
,
where
he
goeth
about
to
perswade
her
Maiesties
subiects
to
reuolt
from
her
,
he
doubteth
not
to
affirme
,
that
it
is
lawfull
for
the
subiects
for
religions
sake
not
only
to
reuolt
from
their
souereigne
,
and
to
deliuer
vp
his
cities
&
countries
into
other
mens
hands
,
but
also
to
beare
armes
against
him
,
being
in
such
case
clerely
discharged
from
all
bond
of
othe
and
fidelitie
to
him
.
Whereupon
I
inferre
,
first
,
that
those
of
the
Spaine
,
yet
might
they
for
Religion
(
if
there
were
no
other
cause
)
lawfully
reuolte
from
the
k.
and
yeeld
vp
his
cities
,
and
countries
to
the
Queenes
Maiesty
,
or
any
other
.
Secondly
,
that
if
it
be
lawfull
for
the
subiect
,
for
religion
to
beare
armes
against
his
souereigne
:
then
is
it
much
more
lawfull
for
an
absolute
Prince
,
for
Religion
also
to
yeeld
succours
to
her
distressed
neighbors
,
against
a
Stranger
.
The
argument
followeth
verie
well
,
à
fortiori
.
I
am
content
M.
Doctor
to
vse
your
owne
arguments
against
yourselfe
,
albeit
I
doe
neither
allow
of
them
,
nor
thinke
them
in
truth
to
be
sound
;
yet
since
you
thought
it
no
iniurie
to
vs
,
to
make
vnlawfull
weapons
for
your
owne
aduantage
against
vs
,
you
must
thinke
it
no
iniurie
to
yourselfe
to
be
beaten
with
your
owne
rodde
.
Yet
must
I
be
so
bold
as
to
borrow
another
argument
from
you
,
for
the
iustifying
of
her
Maiesties
dealings
in
the
low
Countreys
to
bee
lawfull
by
your
owne
rule
,
as
being
for
defence
against
enemies
.
In
your
Inuectiue
against
our
vniust
dealings
,
thinke
it
cause
of
warre
good
inough
to
hinder
our
neighbours
greatnes
,
and
to
disturbe
other
mens
quietnes
,
to
procure
our
owne
peace
and
safetie
.
Let
vs
see
what
English
is
to
be
picked
out
of
this
.
Why
should
we
seeke
to
hinder
our
neighbours
greatnes
?
are
we
anie
thing
the
lesse
,
by
his
being
greater
?
no
:
vnlesse
he
make
himself
greater
,
by
making
vs
lesse
:
what
need
we
then
to
feare
his
greatnes
?
Belike
it
is
to
bee
feared
,
that
,
if
he
be
greater
,
he
will
make
vs
lesse
.
What
neede
I
,
nodum
in
in
scirpo
quaerere
?
what
neede
I
so
to
hunt
out
the
cause
why
wee
should
seeke
to
hinder
his
greatnes
,
when
D.
Allen
himselfe
hath
set
it
downe
in
plaine
termes
,
to
procure
our
owne
peace
,
and
safety
?
Whereby
he
giueth
vs
a
good
caueat
to
prouide
for
both
,
giuing
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
if
D.
Allen
thinketh
he
should
in
deede
,
if
he
were
once
quietly
possessed
of
the
Low
Countries
,
then
should
not
we
long
enioy
either
peace
,
or
safety
.
Which
in
trueth
hath
bene
vpon
good
cause
long
suspected
by
vs
,
but
may
now
better
be
beleeued
,
when
D.
Allen
(
though
I
thinke
in
trueth
vnaduisedly
,
and
against
his
will
)
doth
so
plainely
assure
vs
of
it
.
Now
where
he
saith
,
that
We
thinke
it
cause
of
warre
good
inough
to
hinder
our
neighbours
greatnes
,
and
to
disturbe
other
mens
quietnes
,
to
procure
our
owne
peace
&
safety
,
Let
vs
see
whether
no
man
els
thinketh
so
,
besides
our selues
.
What
saie
you
if
his
owne
Author
Cicero
thinke
so
as
well
as
we
?
Suscipienda
quidem
bella
sunt
(
saith
hee
)
ob
eam
causam
,
vt
sine
iniuria
in
pace
viuatur
▪
Warres
are
to
be
taken
in
hand
,
that
is
,
may
&
must
be
taken
in
hand
for
that
cause
,
&
to
that
intent
,
that
men
may
liue
in
peace
without
iniurie
,
that
is
all
one
as
if
hee
should
say
,
in
peace
and
safetie
.
Whereupon
I
frame
my
argument
thus
:
Those
warres
which
are
taken
in
hand
,
to
the
Syllogisme
.
end
that
the
vndertakers
thereof
may
liue
in
peace
and
safetie
,
are
taken
in
hand
vpon
iust
cause
,
&
consequently
lawfull
.
But
our
warres
against
the
K.
of
Spaine
(
if
wee
hold
any
warres
against
him
)
are
taken
in
hand
,
to
the
end
that
we
may
liue
in
peace
and
safetie
.
Ergo
,
Our
warres
against
the
King
of
Spaine
are
taken
in
hand
vpon
iust
cause
,
&
consequently
lawfull
.
The
Maior
I
take
out
of
Cicero
:
the
Minor
out
of
D.
Allens
own
words
:
the
Argument
cannot
be
denied
,
for
it
is
a
good
and
true
Syllogisme
,
and
the
consequence
necessarie
.
Wherby
you
may
euidently
perceiue
,
that
not
only
our
wars
in
the
low
countries
,
but
those
also
by
Sea
,
which
D.
Allen
so
defameth
(
if
we
did
mainteine
any
such
warres
)
or
anie
other
warres
which
wee
should
vndertake
against
the
K.
of
Spaine
,
are
both
iust
and
lawfull
,
euen
by
his
owne
allowance
,
beeing
for
our
owne
defense
,
and
the
procurement
of
our
own
peace
and
safetie
.
Further
,
because
D.
Allen
shall
haue
no
shew
of
M.
Allens
mouth
with
his
owne
words
,
that
he
may
(
I
saie
)
haue
nothing
to
cauill
vpon
,
I
will
onlie
set
himselfe
to
answere
himselfe
in
this
behalfe
.
The
defense
(
saith
he
)
of
the
kings
rebels
against
their
most
iust
Lord
,
&
Souereigne
,
is
no
lawfull
,
nor
honorable
quarrel
of
warres
:
neither
haue
the
said
traitors
and
rebels
any
authority
to
yeeld
vp
their
Souereigns
Townes
and
Ports
into
his
enemies
hands
,
or
themselues
to
the
English
protection
,
or
subiection
.
Here
D.
Allen
termeth
vs
the
K.
of
Spaines
enemies
,
a
Relatiuis
.
and
if
wee
bee
his
enemies
(
as
D.
Allen
affirmeth
)
then
must
he
necessarily
bee
our
enemie
in
like
sort
,
for
it
is
a
word
of
Relation
,
which
beeing
rightly
pronounced
of
the
one
,
must
also
necessarily
bee
pronounced
of
the
other
.
For
a
Prince
can
not
bee
said
to
bee
the
confederate
of
him
that
is
his
enemie
:
but
they
must
bee
both
as
the
one
is
,
either
both
Socij
,
or
both
hostes
,
both
Confederates
,
or
both
enemies
.
This
a
very
meane
scholler
,
nay
euerie
man
of
anie
reason
or
common
sense
may
perceiue
to
be
true
.
And
I
doe
not
doubt
but
D.
Allen
himselfe
,
when
he
termed
vs
the
K.
of
Spaines
enemies
,
knew
him
well
inough
to
bee
our
enemie
.
Thus
you
see
not
only
that
D.
Allen
hath
failed
in
the
proofe
of
the
one
part
of
his
diuision
,
that
is
:
That
our
warres
are
not
for
defence
against
enemies
,
and
therfore
vnlawfull
:
but
also
that
we
haue
prooued
the
contrarie
against
him
,
both
according
to
his
owne
diuision
,
that
is
:
That
our
warres
are
for
defence
against
enemies
,
&
therefore
lawfull
:
&
also
by
other
reasons
of
our
owne
,
that
is
:
That
our
warres
are
for
the
procurement
of
our
owne
peace
and
safetie
,
and
therefore
most
iust
,
and
lawfull
.
Wherein
our
proofes
&
arguments
(
though
they
be
strong
inough
of
themselues
against
anie
man
)
yet
are
they
strongest
against
him
of
all
men
,
beeing
drawen
euen
from
his
owne
Allegations
,
reasons
,
and
assertions
:
and
therefore
the
more
to
be
credited
.
Now
come
we
to
the
other
part
,
and
let
vs
see
Cicero
.
D.
Allens
assertion
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
hath
done
vnto
her
Maiestie
no
iniurie
.
&c.
how
hee
prooueth
The
English
warres
in
the
low
Countreys
not
to
be
mooued
for
reuenge
of
iniuries
or
annoyance
.
The
Kings
Maiestie
(
saith
he
)
hath
done
to
the
Queene
or
her
Realme
no
such
iniuries
,
for
redresse
or
reuenge
whereof
shee
should
by
hostilitie
enter
into
his
Dominions
,
and
surprise
his
Townes
and
Castles
,
and
bring
his
people
into
her
subiection
.
This
is
a
point
wherein
I
am
loth
to
meddle
in
vttering
what
I
thinke
,
or
haue
heard
,
yea
scarcely
would
I
touch
that
which
is
commonly
bruted
abroad
in
the
mouthes
of
all
men
,
considering
that
the
matter
concerneth
Princes
,
&
is
not
fit
for
priuate
men
to
deale
in
:
therfore
would
I
rather
refer
the
iudgement
therof
to
euery
mans
own
particular
knowledge
,
opinion
,
&
conscience
.
Yet
bicause
it
is
a
part
of
D.
Allens
argument
,
which
hee
must
not
so
clearly
carry
away
,
least
it
should
seeme
to
be
yeelded
vnto
him
,
as
true
:
I
will
craue
pardon
and
leaue
,
only
to
remember
some
particulars
either
knowen
,
or
commonly
beleeued
and
reported
.
And
first
I
know
men
of
iudgement
think
it
no
great
kindnes
in
a
Prince
to
harbour
(
much
lesse
to
enterteine
&
mainteine
)
within
his
Dominions
the
fugitiue
Rebels
or
Traitors
of
another
Prince
,
his
confederate
,
vnderstanding
how
vnduetifully
(
nay
how
lewdly
and
impiously
)
they
haue
dealt
with
their
naturall
Souereign
.
But
these
(
you
wil
saie
)
are
but
actions
of
vnkindnes
,
not
such
hainous
iniuries
.
Well
:
I
would
they
were
lesse
,
offences
I
am
sure
they
are
at
the
least
,
&
such
as
fall
within
one
of
the
kinds
of
Iniustice
and
Iniurie
.
For
greater
,
it
is
not
fit
for
me
to
speake
of
.
[

a
A
touch

of
some
parts
offered
the
Q.
Maiestie
by
the
K.
of
Spaine
,
which
may
well
be
deemed
Iniuries
,
yea
in
the
highest
degree
.
Yet
I
doubt
not
but
D.
Allen
himselfe
(
whatsoeuer
he
saith
here
)
and
a
great
number
of
Romish
Catholikes
more
besides
him
,
know
somewhat

I
saie
?
nay
most
bloodie
,
abhominable
,
&
butcherly
minded
traitors
,
both
before
&
since
.
The
verie
bowels
and
secrets
whereof
although
they
haue
been
happely
kept
from
our
knowledge
,
(
I
meane
from
the
knowledge
of
the
meaner
sort
:
)
yet
their
owne
confessions
haue
discouered
more
then
is
meet
for
me
to
rehearse
:
and
so
much
as
hath
bred
a
general
opinion
&
rumor
yea
euen
in
the
verie
common
people
of
England
,
that
the
K.
of
Spaine
hath
been
not
onlie
priuy
to
them
,
but
a
principall
Author
&
Actor
in
them
all
.
I
will
not
speake
of
the
secret
practises
conspired
for
the
deposing
of
her
Maiestie
,
and
aduancing
England
:
which
whether
,
or
how
iustly
they
may
touch
the
K.
of
Spain
,
it
is
no
part
of
my
duetie
to
deale
with
.
I
am
sory
to
haue
had
occasion
to
saie
so
much
,
in
a
thing
so
litle
apperteining
to
me
:
but
I
am
the
more
to
be
pardoned
,
in
that
the
argument
hath
inforced
me
thereunto
,
&
in
that
I
haue
mentioned
nothing
more
then
is
knowen
&
common
to
the
multitude
,
and
I
could
not
haue
said
lesse
,
vnlesse
I
should
haue
said
nothing
at
al.
But
I
hope
this
that
hath
ben
said
,
S.
W.
Stanley
,
Capt.
Yorke
,
&
to
all
the
English
Romanists
,
to
whom
D.
Allen
doeth
especially
direct
his
Pamphlet
.
For
I
know
there
is
not
any
of
that
sort
of
any
account
,
but
is
so
wel
acquainted
with
the
priuities
of
these
actions
,
as
that
he
can
picke
out
of
these
inough
to
assure
him
,
that
D.
Allen
hath
but
dissembled
with
them
in
this
point
.
Which
being
so
,
they
must
also
know
&
confesse
,
and
all
men
els
may
plainly
perceiue
,
that
this
other
part
of
his
diuision
serueth
not
his
turne
,
no
more
then
the
former
,
to
prooue
her
Maiesties
dealings
in
the
low
Countries
vnlawfull
,
being
grounded
vpon
a
false
supposition
,
that
is
,
That
the
K.
of
Spain
hath
done
vnto
her
Maiestie
no
such
iniurie
,
wherof
shee
should
seeke
reuenge
.
Thus
haue
you
heard
his
argument
brought
to
an
end
,
for
here
he
resteth
euen
in
simple
affirmations
,
which
I
hope
haue
been
sufficientlie
conuicted
both
by
substantiall
reasons
and
instances
:
so
that
there
remaineth
not
now
anie
thing
to
be
further
answered
,
his
whole
argument
and
euerie
part
thereof
,
being
confuted
in
order
from
the
first
proposition
to
the
last
.
And
,
besides
this
which
you
haue
heard
,
hath
he
not
anie
argument
in
his
whole
Pamphlet
,
either
to
iustifie
the
rendering
of
Deuenter
and
Zutphen
Forts
,
or
to
disprooue
her
Maiesties
doings
against
the
K.
of
Spaine
anie
way
;
which
I
haue
heere
both
by
the
authorities
of
his
owne
Authours
,
and
by
reasons
deriued
euen
from
himselfe
,
most
euidently
declared
to
bee
iustifiable
euerie
waie
,
if
they
were
greater
then
they
are
:
which
I
could
with
further
&
more
infallible
reasons
also
confirme
,
if
it
were
requisite
,
or
apperteining
to
my
purpose
.
But
I
must
now
bestow
a
word
or
two
in
noting
vnto
you
some
errours
or
ouersightes
(
at
the
D.
Allen
,
euen
in
the
verie
entrie
almost
of
his
argument
:
where
in
the
circumstance
he
vseth
,
to
induce
a
probabilitie
and
credit
of
his
first
proposition
,
he
setteth
downe
a
generall
Thesis
flat
contrarie
to
that
which
he
goeth
about
to
prooue
.
For
after
manie
speeches
touching
the
necessitie
of
Restitution
,
how
thinges
wrongfullie
gotten
and
deteined
,
ought
to
bee
restored
,
in
the
ende
hee
concludeth
with
these
verie
wordes
:
Yet
whatsoeuer
is
done
against
military
discipline
and
Iustice
,
is
sinne
and
punishable
by
Gods
lawes
.
What
can
there
bee
saide
more
directly
against
the
action
of
S.
W.
Stanley
,
and
the
rest
?
For
there
is
none
of
them
,
nor
anie
soldier
els
of
any
knowledge
or
experience
,
but
knoweth
,
that
to
yeeld
a
Towne
,
Fort
,
or
holde
,
wherewith
a
man
is
put
in
trust
,
to
the
enemy
(
yea
besieging
it
)
so
long
as
there
is
within
it
sufficient
strength
and
meanes
to
defend
it
,
yea
though
it
were
not
defensible
,
yet
to
yeeld
it
before
due
summons
,
is
death
by
the
law
of
Armes
:
much
more
to
render
a
Towne
freely
,
without
either
force
or
demand
;
or
rather
corruptly
and
traitorously
to
sel
it
for
money
:
but
the
law
of
Arms
doth
not
punish
anie
fact
with
death
,
which
is
not
done
against
the
Zutphen
Forts
is
against
military
discipline
,
and
consequently
(
by
D.
Allens
own
position
)
sin
,
and
punishable
by
Gods
lawes
.
What
a
resolution
call
you
this
for
the
satisfying
of
mens
consciences
touching
the
lawfulnes
of
their
action
,
to
lead
them
about
with
a
circumstance
of
other
meaning
,
and
in
conclusion
to
tell
them
in
plaine
termes
,
that
that
which
they
haue
done
is
sin
,
&
punishable
by
Gods
lawes
?
Yet
are
there
two
other
errors
,
though
not
so
euident
,
And
this
I
say
euen
in
lawfull
warres
,
or
such
as
to
the
common
people
may
be
vpon
their
Princes
credit
so
deemed
.
Where
though
they
may
offend
th'
enimy
in
life
,
goods
,
liberty
,
&
otherwise
:
&c.
Wherein
first
he
maketh
no
difference
betweene
D.
Allen
,
which
would
admit
the
lawfulnes
,
or
vnlawfulnes
of
warres
,
to
be
measured
by
the
opinion
of
the
common
people
,
who
(
God
wot
)
are
furthest
from
the
knowledge
of
State
matters
,
and
the
secret
dealings
which
passe
betweene
Princes
,
and
from
the
consideration
of
the
iniuries
and
occasions
of
warre
,
and
therefore
the
vnmeetest
of
all
men
to
be
iudges
of
the
lawfulnes
thereof
.
But
howsoeuer
it
be
deemed
lawfull
,
whether
by
the
common
people
,
or
by
the
better
and
wiser
sort
,
and
such
as
are
most
priuie
to
the
secrets
of
the
State
,
vpon
the
Princes
credit
,
or
otherwise
,
if
it
be
in
trueth
vniust
;
neither
can
the
ignorantia
non
excusat
peccatum
.
You
see
what
a
foule
error
in
Diuinity
this
is
;
yet
is
there
as
bad
euen
in
the
next
wordes
following
:
where
though
they
may
offend
th'
enimy
in
life
,
goods
,
liberty
,
&c.
Hauing
shewed
before
that
restitution
ought
to
be
made
of
all
things
vniustly
gotten
and
deteined
,
vpon
paine
of
damnation
,
and
that
euen
in
lawfull
warres
,
or
such
as
to
the
common
people
may
vpon
the
Princes
credit
be
so
deemed
,
he
now
maketh
it
lawfull
notwithstanding
,
euen
in
the
same
warres
,
to
offend
th'
enimy
in
life
,
goods
,
and
libertie
.
As
though
it
were
not
as
great
an
offence
,
vniustlye
to
take
awaye
Diuinity
,
humane
reason
,
and
lawes
politike
,
yea
euen
vnto
themselues
?
For
what
can
bee
more
contrarye
to
it selfe
,
then
first
to
say
that
restitution
of
thinges
wrongfully
obteined
and
vniustly
deteined
,
is
to
be
made
,
vnder
paine
of
mortall
sinne
and
damnation
(
wherein
is
plainely
implyed
by
himselfe
that
both
wrongfull
obteining
,
and
vniust
deteining
,
For
better
distinction
of
the
actions
,
let
vs
suppose
them
to
be
in
distinct
and
seueral
persons
.
Is
not
he
that
robbeth
a
man
,
and
taketh
away
his
goods
,
in
as
great
fault
,
both
by
Diuine
and
humane
lawes
,
as
he
that
receiueth
and
possesseth
Now
if
the
taking
away
of
goods
be
a
greater
offense
,
or
but
as
great
,
as
the
deteining
of
them
,
what
is
then
the
taking
away
of
libertie
,
yea
of
life
?
Vndoubtedly
,
vnlesse
we
will
hold
with
Illyricus
the
opinion
of
the
Stoiks
,
omnia
peccata
esse
aequalia
,
which
opinion
the
holy
church
hath
condemned
,
and
Illyricus
himselfe
for
an
heretike
Diuinitie
,
to
take
away
life
,
goods
,
and
liberty
,
What
man
then
,
that
is
of
any
iudgment
,
reason
,
or
sense
,
will
giue
credit
to
his
doctrine

him
to
be
an

Note
the
honest
and
Syncere
dealing
of
D.
Allen
.
which
hauing
expressely
taught
,
that
the
greater
sinne
is
no
sin
at
all
,
goeth
about
to
perswade
him
that
the
lesse
sinne
is
a
sinne
mortall
and
damnable
,
and
thereupon
groundeth
his
whole
argument
?
It
is
an
olde
rule
for
such
as
will
practise
the
trade
of
lying
,
that
Mendacem
oportet
esse
memorem
,
A
lyer
must
haue
a
good
memorie
,
least
he
be
entrapped
in
his
owne
tale
:
but
it
seemeth
D.
Allen
presumed
so
much
vpon
his
continuall
exercise
in
the
art
,
and
thought
himselfe
so
much
his
crasies
maister
,
as
that
he
neuer
minded
the
precept
made
for
Schollers
.
But
so
it
fareth
euer
with
a
badde
cause
,
which
haue
it
neuer
so
stout
a
patrone
and
truth
,
which
confoundeth
falshood
,
Magna
est
veritas
,
&
praeualet
:
Great
is
the
truth
,
and
preuaileth
:
yea
it
breaketh
out
vnwares
,
euen
out
of
the
mouthes
of
those
that
labour
most
to
obscure
and
suppresse
it
,
that
God
(
the
authour
of
Truth
,
yea
the
very
truth
itselfe
)
may
be
glorified
euen
by
his
enimies
.
Diuers
other
thinges
could
I
note
vnto
you
out
of
this
pamphlet
,
euen
as
grosse
,
and
absurd
,
and
as
directly
against
D.
Allens
purpose
,
as
any
thing
may
be
:
But
it
were
vaine
to
spend
time
in
the
further
confuting
of
that
,
which
is
skarce
worth
the
looking
on
:
and
besides
,
it
is
not
my
speciall
purpose
,
as
I
told
you
before
,
neither
would
I
haue
said
so
much
concerning
this
parte
of
his
pamphlet
,
but
only
to
th'
intent
to
make
my
way
plainer
to
the
rest
,
by
laying
first
euen
with
the
ground
this
dead
rotten
hedgerow
of
his
disordered
,
dissolute
,
and
scattered
argument
:
wherin
you
see
not
onely
euery
part
therof
,
in
order
(
as
wel
as
it
might
be
gathered
&
put
togither
)
clean
dissolued
,
answered
,
&
confuted
,
with
substantial
reasons
&
authorities
produced
therupon
at
large
,
so
far
forth
as
the
matter
required
;
but
also
sundry
ouersights
&
errors
(
committed
in
the
handling
therof
)
so
manifestly
discouered
,
and
retorted
vpon
him
,
as
most
effectuall
against
himselfe
:
In
somuch
as
I
do
not
a
litle
maruell
how
he
durst
aduenture
to
write
so
slender
&
superficiall
a
thing
vnto
them
,
&
so
patched
togither
&
stuffed
vp
with
so
many
&
so
apparant
contrarieties
,
&
falshoods
,
vnlesse
he
either
presumed
of
their
ignorance
(
which
is
the
vertue
that
he
,
&
the
cunning
clarkes
,
&
learned
sort
of
his
sect
,
do
somuch
commend
D.
Allen
haue
brought
his
Catholikes
so
much
to
the
bent
of
his
bow
,
he
may
be
bold
to
tell
them
that
the
soule
which
was
in
the
Coblers
cocke
,
after
many
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
is
crept
at
the
length
into
his
body
.
But
in
matters
of
conscience
,
saluation
,
or
damnation
(
as
he
saith
these
are
)
let
such
as
haue
a
conscience
,
looke
to
their
consciences
,
&
not
hazarde
their
saluation
,
or
damnation
vpon
his
word
,
but
leane
vnto
reason
&
seek
to
informe
themselues
rightly
of
the
truth
.
For
if
it
be
true
(
as
it
is
most
true
)
that
Christ
saith
,
If
the
blind
lead
the
blind
,
they
fall
both
into
the
pit
,
which
he
meaneth
of
those
that
are
blind
indeede
of
ignorance
;
much
more
shall
it
be
true
,
being
meant
of
them
that
are
wilfully
blinde
,
of
obstinacie
,
and
desire
not
to
see
,
that
both
the
leader
,
&
the
follower
shall
fall
into
the
bottomlesse
pit
of
euerlasting
destruction
.
BBut
let
vs
now
come
to
the
very
point
and
D.
Allens
appeareth
wholy
to
tend
:
for
he
were
very
simple
&
of
a
shallow
reach
,
that
woulde
thinke
that
D.
Allen
had
not
a
further
meaning
herein
,
then
to
satisfie
the
consciences
of
Sir
William
Stanley
and
his
complices
,
touching
the
lawfulnes
of
their
giuing
vp
of
Deuenter
,
especially
when
he
had
before
(
as
he
saith
himselfe
)
deliuered
his
opinion
by
his
letters
to
Sir
W.
Stanley
therevpon
,
(
and
therefore
needed
the
lesse
to
go
about
to
resolue
them
againe
,
which
were
neuer
vnresolued
in
that
point
:
)
&
besides
,
euen
in
this
pamphlet
which
he
pretendeth
to
write
onely
for
their
resolution
,
spendeth
least
part
of
his
time
,
excommunication
,
&
deposition
by
the
Pope
,
&
from
thence
to
a
perswasion
of
her
liege
people
to
reuolte
from
their
obedience
and
allegeance
vnto
her
.
Whereby
he
plainely
bewrayeth
(
euen
more
cleere
and
manifest
then
the
light
of
the
Sunne
)
to
all
men
of
any
meane
vnderstanding
,
yea
to
him
that
hath
but
halfe
an
eie
,
that
his
verie
direct
ende
and
purpose
was
wholy
to
prepare
Romish
Recusants
(
such
as
are
apt
hearers
,
&
readie
followers
of
his
doctrine
)
for
the
furtherance
and
assistance
of
all
seditious
practises
,
that
maie
bee
mooued
and
attempted
against
her
Maiestie
by
the
malicious
Associates
of
that
wicked
confederacie
,
and
especially
of
the
most
iniurious
inuasion
,
long
since
conspired
,
and
complotted
,
and
now
presently
prouided
to
bee
put
in
execution
against
her
Maiestie
and
her
Realme
,
by
the
K.
of
Spaine
,
the
Pope
,
and
their
Adherents
.
And
to
this
purpose
wholy
was
this
Pamphlet
of
D.
Allens
intended
,
and
the
other
Theme
(
touching
the
rendring
of
Deuenter
)
enterteined
onlie
for
an
introduction
therunto
.
Wherin
Sinon
,
whom
he
hath
so
truely
represented
herein
,
I
referre
to
the
iudgement
of
the
Romish
Catholikes
themselues
,
that
hold
him
in
greatest
reuerence
.
Who
,
how
soeuer
they
are
affected
towardes
him
for
Religions
sake
,
yet
if
there
be
anie
sparke
of
true
honor
,
English
valour
,
or
loue
of
their
Countrie
in
them
(
as
I
trust
and
assure
my selfe
there
is
)
I
doubt
not
but
looking
into
,
and
well
foreseeing
the
end
of
his
purposes
,
they
will
vtterly
abhorre
his
vnnaturall
practises
.
But
marke
I
praie
you
the
order
hee
obserueth
First
to
drawe
her
Maiestie
into
discredit
and
disliking
with
all
men
,
and
consequently
with
her
subiects
,
whereby
they
maie
bee
the
more
easilie
incited
against
her
:
hee
defameth
all
her
most
noble
,
publike
robberies
,
and
sacrilegious
warres
against
God
and
his
Church
.
Secondly
,
to
giue
them
some
encouragement
Pope
,
shee
hath
no
iust
title
or
interest
vnto
her
Crowne
and
Kingdome
,
nor
anie
power
or
authoritie
ouer
them
,
to
command
them
,
but
that
they
are
euer
since
that
time
,
freelie
discharged
from
all
duetie
and
allegeance
vnto
her
Maiestie
:
nay
further
,
that
no
act
done
by
her
authoritie
,
since
the
publication
of
that
Excommunication
&
Deposition
,
hath
beene
,
or
can
be
lawfull
by
the
law
of
God
,
or
man
:
and
therefore
that
no
man
may
lawfully
serue
her
in
any
action
,
be
it
otherwise
neuer
so
iust
.
Whereupon
he
runneth
into
an
earnest
persuasion
Romish
Catholike
partie
,
and
her
enemies
.
What
blasphemous
slanders
,
prodigious
affirmations
,
impudent
lies
,
and
deuilish
persuasions
are
these
?
and
how
farre
vnbeseeming
the
name
,
profession
and
calling
of
a
Diuine
?
But
what
is
there
so
honest
and
godlie
,
that
D.
Allen
will
not
defame
?
what
so
false
and
incredible
,
that
hee
will
not
affirme
?
what
so
wicked
and
abhominable
,
that
hee
will
not
perswade
?
It
had
been
far
fitter
D.
Allen
to
haue
dealt
with
his
Portis
,
and
let
alone
the
names
and
doings
of
Princes
.
If
hee
had
been
as
busie
in
his
booke
,
and
as
carefull
of
those
thinges
which
belong
to
his
vocation
,
he
might
haue
sought
out
more
Diuinitie
to
satisfie
the
Consciences
of
his
Catholike
Soldiers
,
and
with
more
credit
(
or
probabilitie
at
the
least
)
defended
their
action
,
then
he
hath
done
.
And
as
vnfit
as
it
was
for
him
,
to
call
in
question
the
names
and
dooings
of
Princes
,
so
vnmeet
were
it
for
mee
,
and
repugnant
to
all
good
discretion
,
to
presume
to
enter
into
their
defense
,
of
whose
actions
I
am
neither
able
,
nor
worthie
to
speake
,
sufficiently
for
their
worthines
:
whose
sacred
Maiestie
and
authoritie
deriued
from
the
high
Gouernor
of
the
world
,
is
as
the
brightnes
of
the
Sunne
shining
in
his
greatest
perfection
,
not
to
bee
gazed
on
by
our
dazled
eies
,
&
ought
to
be
a
shield
of
protection
to
all
their
dooings
,
against
the
curious
scanning
,
and
venimous
detraction
of
malicious
monsters
.
Wherefore
I
wil
not
dare
to
meddle
,
so
much
as
with
the
mention
of
their
names
Now
then
I
praie
you
M.
Allen
(
for
to
you
will
I
now
addresse
my
speech
,
to
you
,
which
are
the
defamer
of
vertue
it selfe
,
and
the
detracter
of
all
godlines
)
what
publike
robberies
are
those
you
obiect
vnto
vs
(
for
her
Maiesties
name
is
not
fit
to
be
defiled
by
your
impure
lippes
)
?
what
sacrilegious
warres
against
God
and
his
Church
?
If
you
meane
the
defense
or
reliefe
of
the
low
Countries
,
which
is
the
onelie
thing
that
galleth
you
,
in
respect
of
the
K.
of
Spaine
your
chiefe
Patrone
,
and
the
onlie
matter
that
ministred
you
the
argument
assumptions
,
to
defame
those
actions
,
which
you
could
not
disprooue
,
nay
which
your
owne
assertions
haue
prooued
most
lawfull
.
This
only
should
bee
sufficient
to
stoppe
your
mouth
,
though
there
were
nothing
more
to
be
said
in
that
behalfe
.
But
because
I
thinke
it
more
expedient
to
satisfie
other
men
(
such
as
wil
with
reason
be
satisfied
)
then
necessarie
to
answere
your
slanders
,
I
will
not
stand
wholy
vpon
those
aduantages
.
Wherefore
if
anie
man
doubt
either
of
the
reason
,
intent
,
or
Iustice
As
for
the
iustice
and
lawfulnes
of
the
action
,
albeit
the
reason
and
intent
thereof
being
before
declared
,
and
allowed
,
must
needes
make
the
action
also
iustifiable
,
vnto
such
as
shall
allow
of
the
causes
,
yet
because
D.
Allen
shall
not
runne
cleare
away
with
an
opinion
of
his
conceit
,
I
Offic.
lib.
1.
wil
thinke
it
no
great
labor
to
iustifie
also
the
action
,
by
arguments
drawen
from
his
own
authors
.
Iniustitiae
duo
sunt
genera
,
(
saith
Cicero
)
:
vnum
eorum
qui
inferunt
:
alterum
eorum
,
qui
ab
ijs
,
quibus
infertur
,
si
possint
,
non
propulsant
iniuriam
.
There
are
two
kinds
of
iniustice
:
the
one
,
in
them
that
doe
wrong
,
themselues
:
the
other
in
them
that
doe
Iniury
,
or
Iniustice
,
not
to
defend
the
iniuried
.
not
reskue
and
defend
other
men
,
from
the
iniuries
offered
them
,
if
they
be
able
.
Now
of
these
two
kinds
of
Iniustice
,
the
one
was
exercised
by
the
K.
of
Spaine
vpon
the
people
of
the
low
Countries
(
as
they
saie
themselues
,
for
I
,
for
my
part
,
will
not
imitate
the
example
of
D.
Allen
in
charging
Princes
with
Iniustice
)
:
whereupon
the
said
people
crauing
her
Maiesties
aide
and
assistance
,
the
other
kinde
(
saith
Cicero
)
should
haue
been
offered
them
by
her
,
if
shee
should
haue
denied
them
her
helpe
and
succours
,
to
defend
them
Qui
autem
non
defendit
(
saith
hee
)
nec
obsistit
,
si
potest
,
iniuriae
,
tàm
est
in
vitio
,
quàm
si
parentes
,
aut
patriam
,
aut
socios
deserat
.
But
hee
that
doeth
not
defend
,
nor
withstand
,
if
hee
can
,
the
wrong
done
to
others
,
is
as
much
in
fault
,
as
if
hee
should
forsake
his
parentes
,
Countrie
,
or
friendes
:
which
is
the
most
vnnaturall
iniustice
.
Now
if
it
be
a
principall
point
of
Iniustice
for
a
man
not
to
defend
and
succour
them
that
are
iniuried
,
if
he
be
able
,
and
so
farre
foorth
as
hee
is
able
to
doe
it
:
then
it
followeth
a
contrarijs
,
Iustice
,
to
defend
the
iniuried
.
that
it
is
a
principall
part
of
Iustice
,
to
assist
and
defend
them
that
are
wronged
.
By
which
argument
her
Maiesties
most
gracious
and
Princely
action
,
in
yeelding
aide
and
defense
vnto
the
poore
oppressed
people
of
the
low
Countries
,
is
effectually
prooued
to
bee
most
iust
,
lawfull
,
and
honourable
,
and
hee
a
lyer
,
a
slanderer
,
and
an
abuser
of
men
,
that
hath
wickedly
sought
to
dishonour
it
.
I
will
not
(
though
well
and
iustly
I
might
)
iustifie
the
action
vpon
Religion
,
(
as
beeing
for
the
defense
of
the
true
Catholike
and
Apostolike
Religion
,
which
we
professe
)
because
I
will
not
runne
into
the
same
fault
,
which
I
reprehend
in
him
,
that
is
,
Petere
principium
,
to
ground
mine
argument
vpon
that
which
is
in
question
between
him
and
me
:
no
more
then
I
wil
allow
him
to
impeach
it
vpon
the
authoritie
of
his
former
assumption
,
That
all
the
Prouinces
(
of
the
low
Countries
)
are
confessed
to
bee
his
Catholike
Maiesties
ancient
and
vndoubtfull
inheritance
:
which
is
in
question
of
armes
euen
at
this
day
,
and
therefore
not
necessarie
to
bee
disprooued
by
mee
:
neither
might
I
doe
it
,
vnles
I
would
offende
in
the
same
fault
,
which
I
also
reprooue
in
D.
Allen
,
that
is
,
in
dealing
with
Princes
titles
,
which
is
no
part
of
his
duetie
and
mine
.
with
entring
by
hostilitie
into
the
K.
of
Spaines
Dominions
,
&c.
Now
how
vniustly
and
falsly
he
chargeth
her
Maiestie
with
entring

the
King
of

Dominions

subiection
:
let
all
men
iudge
,
that
haue
in
them
either
reason
,
discretion
,
or
indifferencie
.
First
,
it
is
(
as
hath
been
alreadie
said
)
a
thing
in
question
&
controuersie
,
whether
those

of
the
low

,
where
her
Maiesties
forces

bin
,
be
the
K.
of
Spaines
Dominions
,
or
no
:
and
if
they
bee
not
,
then
is
this
a
most
euident
and
manifest
slander
,
euen
before
the

of
the
whole

.
But
suppose
them
to

as

yet
is
it
not
vnknowen

that

of

that

,
with

both
of

to

she
hath
care
of

,
and
of
the
charge
committed
vnto
her
by
him
,
to
whom
onely
she
is
to
giue
account
thereof
:
she
respecteth
not
her
own
profit
or
pleasure
,
but
the
puritie
and
syncerity
of
religion
,
and
the
true
worship
of
God
:
&
therefore
she
reiecteth
all
frendship
,
fauour
,
and
countenance
of
the
Pope
.
She
thinketh
not
kingdomes
to
be
rightly
theirs
that
can
catch
them

nor
practiseth
by
Machiauelian

If
D.

had
bene
there
,
I
beleeue
hee
would
haue
bene
in
an
other
humour
,
skarce
so
pleasant
,
though
happely
more
ridiculous
.
I
would
you
had
bene

your selfe
either
in

at

I
am
perswaded
you
would
not

haue
skorned

And
if

thinke

an

you
do
greatly
abuse

[

](A19742-e6540-b)

The
fault
of
the
losse
of
Sluys
,
not
to
be
imputed
to
the
Earle
of
Leicester
,
which
was
in

mens
negligence

For
it
is
very
▪
well
knowne
to
all
men
(
especially
of
those
countries
)
where
and
in
whom
the
fault
of
that
default
lay
.
For
if
those
preparations
which
my
L.
of
Leicester
commanded
,
and
made
sure
account
of
,
had
bin
duely
accomplished
,
as
they
were
certainely
promised

assured
by
them
that
had
the
charge
thereof
:
the
towne
had
(
with
Gods
helpe
)
vndoubtedly
bene
relieued
.
But
howsoeuer
the
matter
fel
out
either
by
the
negligent
or
treacherous
dealings
of
other
men
,
that
were
put
in

therein
:
I
say
with
Ouid
:
careat

Quisquis

Ill
may
he
chieue
,
that
measureth
the
fact
by
the
euent
:
and
little
reason
hath
he
,
that
will
impute
another
mans
fault
,
as
a
dishonour
to
my
L.
of
Leicester
.
But
herein
may
you
plainely
see
the
intemperancie
of
D.
Allen
,
and
how
he
dealeth
by
affection
,
that
when
he
hath
nothing
that
he
can
iustly
obiect
in
particular
to
so
honorable
and
worthy
a
noble
man
,
yet
he
will
in
a
general
sort
glaunce
at
him
,
only
to
bring
his
name
in
question
with
the
multitude
.
But
all
the
worlde
may
easily
know
the
cause
why
the
Earle
of
Leicester
D.
Allen
,
that
is
,
onely
because
he
is
one
of
the
greatest
,
&
principall
patrons
of
true
religion
,
which
D.
Allen
so
much
hateth
.
And
for
this
cause
also
haue
there
bene
sundry

other
infamous
libels
heretofore
secretly
cast
out
and
spred
abroad
,
against
this
most
noble

by
Allen
himselfe
,
or
by
Persons
,
or
at

some
one
of
that
viperous
backbiting
generation

Wherein
,
the
authors

not

raked
their

wherewith
to
exasperate
and
empoison
their
most
outragious
slaunders

breathed
out
against

Which
euen
vpon
the
very
first
view
haue
appeared
vnto
all

so
manifestly
false

monstrous
,
and
farre

this
meanes
to
make
his
Lordship
odious
amongst
men
,
they
haue
not
onely
failed
of
their
purpose
,
but
haue
thereby
also
made
themselues
hatefull
vnto
God
,
and
infamous
to
the
worlde
,
and
fallen
themselues
into
the
pit
which
they
digged
for
him
:
So
haue
they
contrarie
to
their
reuiled
,
persecuted
,
&
falsely
slandered
for
his
sake
.
Which
may
be
,
and
(
no
doubt
)
is
a
singular
comfort
to
the
most
honourable
,
zealous
,
and
godly
minded
Earle
,
not
onely
to
despise
and
contemne
their
despitefull
slanders
,
but
so
much
the
more
hartily
to
reioyce
and
triumph
ouer
their
malice
,
as
he
seeth
him selfe
the
more
impudently
,
and
furiously
assailed
with
their
iniurious
reproches
.
It
were
too
much
labour
,
and
too
ill
bestowed
,
either
to
reply
vpon
,
or
to
repeate
all
the
railing
and
slanderous
speeches
,
which
D.
Allen
belcheth
out
against
his
Soueraigne
,
her
ministers
,
and
countrey
:
for
therein
onely
(
in
mine
opinion
)
he
seemeth
to
himselfe
to
haue
best
grace
.
But
he
that
will
defile
his
owne
nest
(
as
they
say
)
the
countrey
wherein
he
was
borne
and
bred
,
calling
it
the
Buckler
of
all
rebellion
and
iniustice
,
and
an
enimie
of
lawfull
Dominion
and
Superioritie
,
yea
,
he
that
will
not
sticke
to
rippe
vp
the
wombe
,
and
to
teare
and
take
out
the
bowels
of
his
owne
mother
,
he
that
will
endeuour
to
bring
in
an
inuasion
,
to
the
vtter
spoyle
,
ruine
,
and
depopulation
of
his
deare
countrye
:
what
iniurie
,
what
wickednesse
,
what
impietye
,
will
hee
leaue
vnattempted
?
But
now
will
I
come
to
the
second
step
of
his
that
since
her
Maiestie
was
excommunicate
and
deposed
by
the
Popes
authoritye
,
there
is
no
subiect
that
neede
or
ought
,
or
may
lawfully
serue
her
in
any
case
,
be
it
otherwise
neuer
so
lawfull
.
A
very
good
doctrine
(
no
doubt
)
and
well
agreeing
with
the
word
of
God
.
The
holy
Ghost
saith
,
Let
euery
soule
be
subiect
to
the
higher
power
:
and
whosoeuer
resisteth
the
power
,
resisteth
the
ordinance
of
God
,
and
they
that
resist
shall
receiue
to
themselues
iudgement
.
And
further
:
Submit
your selues
,
whether
it
be
to
the
king
,
as
vnto
the
superiour
,
or
vnto
Gouernours
,
as
sent
by
him
:
for
so
is
the
will
of
God
.
&c.
But
these
are
matters
out
of
my
profession
,
and
meeter
to
be
argued
by
Diuines
,
and
so
is
all
this
whole
question
touching
the
excommunication
and
deposition
of
Princes
.
Yet
because
I
see
litle
Diuinitie
vsed
by
D.
Allen
for
the
proofe
of
Diuines
,
for
entring
into
their
profession
,
which
D.
Allen
doeth
not
of
Princes
,
for
entring
into
their
possession
.
But
the
lesse
maruell
is
it
that
hee
is
so
bold
with
Princes
in
that
point
,
when
he
toucheth
their
Priest
.
freeholds
so
much
neerer
,
in
making
both
them
,
their
persons
,
and
kingdomes
subiect
to
the
Commandement
,
and
disposing
of
a
man
of
as
meane
qualitie
(
in
a
maner
)
as
himselfe
.
But
we
see
God
hath
giuen
vnto
Princes
authoritie
and
commandement
ouer
their
Subiects
,
and
hath
willed
all
sorts
of
people
,
as
well
Ecclesiasticall
,
as
Temporall
(
and
consequently
both
D.
Allen
and
the
Pope
himselfe
)
to
submit
themselues
vnto
Princes
,
to
be
subiect
vnto
them
,
to
obey
,
and
not
to
resist
them
,
vnder
paine
of
iudgement
:
let
vs
see
then
by
what
authoritie
D.
Allen
can
release
and
discharge
the
Subiect
from
his
obedience
,
duetie
,
and
allegeance
vnto
his
Prince
.
His
first
authoritie
is
taken
from
Hildebrand
the
Prince
▪
Hildebrand
a
Pope
of
Rome
,
otherwise
called
Gregory
the
seuenth
.
(
whom
hee
calleth
Gregory
the
seuenth
)
who
taking
vpon
him
more
like
a
king
of
kinges
,
or
lord
of
the
whole
world
,
then
like
a
true
scholler
and
follower
of
Christ
,
pronounceth
his
decree
with
a
great
Maiestie
in
the
plurall
number
,
We
(
saith
he
)
according
to
our
predecessours
Decrees
,
doe
assoile
&
discharge
all
them
that
by
obligation
of
oath
,
or
fidelitie
,
are
bound
to
persons
excommunicate
:
and
that
they
doe
not
obey
such
,
we
do
expresly
forbid
.
His
second
authoritie
(
which
is
euen
the
like
)
he
Pope
Vrban
the
second
.
fetcheth
from
Vrbanus
the
second
,
who
vseth
this
inhibition
:
forbid
(
saith
hee
)
the
sworne
soldiers
of
Conte
Hugh
,
that
they
serue
him
not
so
long
as
hee
standeth
Excommunicate
:
And
if
they
pretende
their
former
oath
made
vnto
him
:
admonish
them
that
God
is
to
be
serued
before
men
,
and
that
the
oth
which
they
made
to
him
when
hee
was
a
Christian
Prince
,
is
not
now
to
be
kept
towards
him
,
being
an
enemy
to
God
and
his
Saints
,
and
a
breaker
and
contemner
of
their
commandements
.
A
faire
paire
of
authorities

who
had
euen
as
good
authoritie
to
giue
these
discharges
and
inhibitions

D.

Is
this
the
best

haue

release

to

of
his
oath
and
obedience
to
his
Prince
,
because
two
Popes
of
your
owne
pack
(
whose
whole
practise
hath
been
for
these
foure
or
fiue
hundreth
yeeres
,
to
bring
the
heads
of
Princes
vnder
their
girdles
)
haue
,
to
that
intent
,
pronounced
it
to
be
lawful
for
the
subiect
,
to
renounce
his
allegeance
to
his
Prince
,
whensoeuer
it
should
please
his
holines
(
forsooth
)
vpon
any
displeasure
or
priuate
occasion
(
vnder
pretence
of
some
hainous
crime
)
to
Excommunicate
him
?
What
if
we
should
deny
that
these
Popes
,
or
any
other
Pope
euer
had
,
or
hath
any
authoritie
to
Excommunicate
a
forrein
Prince
,
no
way
subiect
to
his
charge
?
D.
Allen
hath
not
prooued
it
in
his
Pamphlet
,
nor
anie
where
els
,
neither
is
hee
able
to
prooue
it
with
the
helpe
of
all
the
Cardinals
in
Rome
(
yea
and
of
the
Pope
himselfe
too
)
while
he
liueth
.
But
such
as
are
Romanists
,
are
of
another
minde
,
and
will
happely
beleeue
D.
Allens
bare
affirmation
in
this
behalfe
,
and
so
may
be
persuaded
,
not
onely
that
the
Pope
hath
authoritie
to
Excommunicate
and
depose
Princes
at
his
pleasure
,
but
also
that
the
subiects
of
Princes
so
Excommunicate
and
deposed
by
the
Pope
,
may
lawfully
,
and
ought
in
duetie
to
disobey
and
reuolt
from
their
seruice
.
How
they
may
bee
seduced
by
erroneous
doctrine
,
I
know
not
:
but
for
other
men
,
that
are
either
of
sounder
Religion
,
or
men
indifferent
,
or
not
so
throughly
,
and
obstinately
(
as
vpon
a
meere
Pope
,
ought
to
haue
any
credit
,
being
directly
contradictorie
to
the
expresse
word
of
God
.
selfewill
)
addicted
to
that
faction
,
I
doubt
not
but
they
will
be
better
aduised
,
then
to
giue
credit
vnto
the
affirmation
of
anie
man
,
or
the
authoritie
of
anie
Pope
(
though
hee
make
himselfe
more
then
a
man
)
beeing
directly
contradictorie
to
the
expresse
word
,
and
will
of
God
,
as
hath
been
shewed
by
the
places
of
Scripture
aboue
rehearsed
,
and
by
manie
more
may
be
.
But
because
they
also
shall
not
haue
anie
colour
of
defense
left
them
,
whereby
to
excuse
themselues
so
much
as
vpon
ignorance
in
this
behalfe
,
I
will
(
since
I
am
entred
into
it
)
laie
before
them
,
in
as
few
words
as
I
can
,
the
abuses
of
D.
Allen
whereby
hee
goeth
about
to
deceiue
them
in
this
point
,
and
prooue
directly
and
manifestly
vnto
them
,
that
neither
the
Pope
hath
any
authoritie
to
depose
Princes
from
their
thrones
,
which
is
the
ground
whereon
he
buildeth
his
warrant
of
reuolt
:
and
further
that
it
is
vtterly
vnlawfull
for
the
Subiect
,
for
any
such
occasion
to
deny
the
Prince
the
obedience
,
subiection
,
and
seruice
due
vnto
him
,
much
more
in
traitorous
manner
to
rebell
against
him
;
which
D.
Allen
so
alloweth
and
commendeth
.
First
therefore
,
as
concerning
the
Popes
authoritie
God
?
Of
himselfe
I
know
he
will
not
say
,
for
that
were
as
great
arrogancie
,
as
absurditie
in
him
to
saie
.
And
if
he
would
(
as
perhaps
he
could
be
content
to
take
it
vpon
himselfe
,
if
hee
thought
it
might
go
for
currant
)
yet
can
hee
not
yeeld
any
colour
or
shew
of
reason
to
mainteine
it
,
being
God
.
For
There
is
no
power
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
but
of
God
,
and
the
powers
that
be
,
are
ordeined
of
God
.
Then
can
the
Pope
haue
no
power
or
authoritie
of
himselfe
,
vnlesse
he
will
affirme
himselfe
to
be
God
.
[
a
](A19742-e8050-b)
a
Againe
,
No
man
hath
power
of
himselfe
to
frustrate
the
ordinance
of
God
,
Ergo
the
Pope
hath
no
power
of
himselfe
to
depose
Princes
,
which
are
ordeined
of
God
.
And
the
Prince
being
a
power
,
and
consequently
ordeined
of
God
,
it
were
great
presumption
in
him
to
affirm
,
and
greater
blindnes
in
men
to
beleeue
,
that
the
authoritie
of
man
can
frustrate
or
take
away
the
ordinance
of
God
.
It
resteth
therefore
,
that
the
Pope
,
if
he
haue
anie
God
.
[
a
](A19742-e8120-b)
a
If
he
haue
it
from
God
,
he
must
haue
it
by
some
warrant
out
of
his
word
.
And
if
he
haue
it
from
God
,
them
is
there
some
warrant
in
his
word
to
authorise
the
Pope
thereunto
:
[
b
](A19742-e8150-b)
b
But
no
place
of
Scripture
giueth
him
warrant
to
depose
Princes
.
But
there
is
not
anie
place
of
Scripture
that
giueth
the
Pope
any
expresse
power
to
depose
Princes
:
[
c
](A19742-e8180-b)
c
Ergo
,
he
hath
no
authoritie
from
God
.
and
therfore
hath
he
no
such
authoritie
from
God
.
For
the
proofe
of
my
Minor
:
First
it
is
likely
,
that
[
d
](A19742-e8220-b)
d
If
any
place
of
Scripture
had
warranted
the
Pope
to
depose
Princes
,
it
is
likely
D.
Allen
would
haue
alledged
it
:
but
he
alledgeth
none
.
if
there
were
any
such
place
of
Scripture
,
as
giueth
the
Pope
expresse
power
to
depose
Princes
,
D.
Allen
would
vndoubtedly
haue
alledged
it
,
for
the
more
credit
of
the
cause
,
and
not
haue
passed
it
ouer
with
a
bare
affirmation
,
beeing
a
matter
heretofore
by
many
and
manifest
arguments
and
proofes
of
Scripture
,
cleerly
disprooued
,
and
conuinced
against
him
.
Secondly
,
for
further
confirmation
thereof
,
I
reason
thus
:
Besides
the
obedience
and
subiection
which
God
hath
commanded
in
the
Scripture
to
be
done
vnto
Princes
,
hee
hath
further
forbidden
all
men

to
speake
euill
of
the
ruler
of
the
people
,
or
to
curse
the
King
,
yea
so
much
as
in
thought
.
Whereupon
I
frame
this
argument
.
[
f
](A19742-e8360-b)
f
God
forbiddeth
all
men
to
speake
euil
of
Princes
,
so
much
as
in
thought
:
Ergo
much
more
to
hurt
them
in
deed
,
and
to
depriue
them
of
their
kingdomes
,
and
liues
too
,
which
the
Pope
seeketh
to
doe
,
and
D
Allen
mainteineth
,
may
lawfully
be
done
.
God
forbiddeth
all
men
to
curse
the
King
,
yea
so
much
as
in
thought
,
Ergo
:
he
forbiddeth
the
Pope
to
curse
the
King
,
so
much
as
in
thought
;
And
he
that
forbiddeth
to
doe
the
lesse
,
much
more
forbiddeth
to
doe
the
greater
:
But
it
is
far
greater
to
curse
the
K.
indeed
,
&
openly
,
and
to
depriue
him
of
his
kingdome
,
then
to
curse
him
in
thought
only
,
or
to
speake
euill
of
him
:
Ergo
,
God
forbidding
the
Pope
to
speake
euill
of
the
King
,
or
to
curse
him
in
his
thought
,
much
more
forbiddeth
him
to
curse
the
King
openly
,
or
to
depriue
him
of
his
kingdome
:
wherupon
it
followeth
by
good
consequence
,
that
God
doth
not
in
any
place
of
Scripture
authorise
the
Pope
to
depose
Princes
:
for
so
should
he
allow
and
warrant
that
in
one
place
,
which
he
hath
forbidden
in
another
:
whereof
you
see
what
inconuenience
should
follow
,
that
God
should
command
contraries
,
and
the
Scriptures
should
bee
repugnant
to
themselues
,
which
were
plaine
Atheisme
to
affirm
.
Whereby
it
maie
be
cleare
and
manifest
vnto
euerie
man
,
that
hath
any
sense
of
Christianitie
in
him
,
that
God
hauing
in
these
former
places
of
Scripture
expresly
forbidden
all
men
to
curse
in
thought
,
or
to
speake
euill
of
the
King
,
much
more
to
curse
him
openly
or
to
bereaue
him
of
his
kingdome
,
doeth
not
therefore
in
anie
place
of
Scripture
admit
or
authorise
anie
man
(
contrarie
to
this
inhibition
)
to
curse
,
excommunicate
,
and
depose
Princes
Scripture
,
he
doth
not
countermand
in
another
:
neither
are
the
Scriptures
contrarie
one
to
another
.
out
of
their
kingdomes
.
For
that
were
to
countermand
his
owne
commandements
,
and
to
shew
himselfe
variable
,
inconstant
,
&
repugnant
to
himselfe
,
which
were
high
impietie
for
anie
man
to
imagine
.
Thus
you
see
(
beside
the
presumption
,
which
is
to
be
gathered
out
of
D.
Allens
own
dealing
,
in
that
hee
alledgeth
no
place
of
Scripture
to
warrant
the
Popes
depriuing
of
Princes
,
that
it
is
therfore
likely
that
no
place
of
Scripture
doth
authorise
him
thervnto
)
you
see
it
(
I
say
)
directly
proued
by
sound
and
substantiall
argument
,
(
as
by
many
more
also
might
be
verie
aboundantly
,
if
either
the
cause
required
proofe
,
or
if
it
were
my
purpose
to
stand
vpon
the
confirmation
of
that
,
which
is
of
itselfe
so
manifest
)
that
the
Pope
neither
hath
,
nor
can
haue
anie
expresse
authoritie
,
giuen
him
directly
by
the
word
of
God
to
depose
Princes
:
which
is
the
thing
that
God
reserueth
wholy
to
himselfe
:
for
it
is
he
(
not
the
Pope
)
that
deposeth
the
mighty
from
their
seat
,
&
exalteth
them
that
are
low
:
it
is
he
(
not
the
Pope
)
that
putteth
downe
kings
,
&
setteth
vp
kings
,
and
giueth
kingdomes
to
whomsoeuer
he
will
.
For
God
hath
ordeined
God
(
not
the
Pope
)
putteth
downe
and
setteth
vp
Kings
.
Princes
to
rule
his
people
,
and
to
represent
his
own
Maiestie
amongst
them
,
which
cannot
be
subiect
to
any
earthly
creature
:
&
as
he
hath
put
all
men
in
subiection
vnder
them
(
as
his
own
Vicegerents
on
Earth
)
so
hath
he
subiected
them
vnto
none
,
but
onely
and
immediatly
to
himselfe
.
Which
supreme
God
,
howsoeuer
D.
Allen
doth
maliciously
and
wickedly
impugne
,
yet
the
Church
of
Christ
hath
euer
confessed
&
confirmed
it
,
as
appeareth
by
the
sentences
of
the
holie
Fathers
and
Doctors
of
the
Church
touching
that
point
.
Colimus
imperatorem
(
saith
Tertullian
)
vt
hominem
a
Deo
secundum
,
&
solo
Deo
minorem
:
we
worship
the
Emperour
,
as
a
man
next
vnto
God
,
&
inferiour
to
God
only
.
And
againe
,
Deum
esse
God
onely
,
in
whose
power
alone
Princes
are
,
to
whom
they
are
second
,
and
after
whom
they
are
first
,
before
all
,
and
ouer
all
both
Gods
and
men
.
Optatus
in
like
Super
Imperatorem
non

There
is
none
aboue

onely

,
who
made

Emperour
.
Parem

The
Emperour
hath

And
Gregory
affirmeth
further
,
That
power
is
giuen
to
Princes
from
heauen
ouer
all
men
,
not
only
soldiers
,
but
Priests
.
If
Princes
then
(
by
the
iudgement
of
the
old
learned
Fathers
and
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
whose
names
D.
Allen
doeth
more
boast
of
,
then
alledge
their
testimonies
)
bee
in
authoritie
next
vnto
God
,
inferior
to
him
only
,
&
superiors
to
all
men
;
and
if
there
be
none
aboue
the
Prince
,
but
onely
God
God
,
els
can
he
not
be
aboue

who
made
the
Prince
:
the
Pope
must
of
necessitie
either
presume
himselfe
to
be
God
,
els
can
he
not
be
aboue
the
Prince
,
or
at
the
least
make
himselfe
no
man
,
but
a
monster
,
otherwise
must
he
needes
be
inferiour
to
the
Prince
.
And
if
the
Prince
haue
no
equall
on
earth
:
the
[

*
The
Pope
,
whatsoeuer
he
be
,
Ecclesiasticall
or
temporall
person
,
must
needes
be
subiect
to
the
power
of
Princes
.
And
if
power
be
giuen
vnto
Princes
from
heauen
ouer
all
men
,
not
only
soldiers
,
but
Priestes
also
:
then
cannot
the
Pope
(
whether
hee
bee
soldier
,
or
Priest
,
or
whatsoeuer
hee
be
,
so
hee
be
a
man
)
exempt
himselfe
from
that
power
,
which
God
hath
giuen
vnto
the
Prince
ouer
him
:
much
les
can
he
take
away
from
Princes
that
power
,
which
Princes
,
peculiar
to
God
alone
.
God
hath
giuen
vnto
them
.
For
the
power
of
setting
vp
and
putting
downe
Princes
(
being
in
Maiestie
the
greatest
on
earth
,
and
proper
to
God
himselfe
alone
)
hath
he
not
imparted
vnto
anye
earthly
creature
,
either
absolutely
from
himselfe
,
or
iointly
with
himselfe
,
but
hath
reserued
it
wholy
to
himselfe
.
But
because
D.
Allen
is
so
much
more
deuoted
God
.
vnto
the
Pope
then
to
God
,
as
that
he
can
bee
content
to
pull
out
of
Gods
hand
his
peculiar
authority
and
prerogatiue
,
to
draw
the

the
authoritie

I
will
lay
before
you
also
the
indirect
meanes
he
vseth
in
this
pamphlet
,
to
accomplish
his
intent
,
and
how
litle
D.
Allen
cannot
proue
directly
by
sentence
of
Scripture
,
he
endeuoureth
indirectly
to
induce
by
example
.
Athalia
.
Ahab
.
Iesabell
.
they
also
serue
his
turne
.
What
he
cannot
proue
by
sentence
of
Scripture
,
he
laboureth
(
by
the
way
)
to
induce
by
example
:
as
namely
by
the
mention
of
the
vsurping
Queene
Athalia
,
the
wicked
King
Ahab
,
and
cursed
Iesabell
,
who
were
all
(
as
he
seemeth
to
intend
)
deposed
from
their
kingdomes
and
slaine
:
because
the
Priestes
and
Prophets
of
God
did
therein
giue
assistance
,
counsell
,
or
direction
,
he
woulde
hereupon
faine
inferre
,
that
the
Pope
may
by
these
examples
take
away
both
the
crownes
and
liues
of
princes
.
An
argument
farre
fet
,
in
truth
,
and
sauouring
Prophets
,
is
vnfitte
and
vnequall
.
Wherin
I
must
note
vnto
you
by
the
way
an
euill
spirite
in
D.
Allen
,
that
seeketh
(
or
rather
snatcheth
)
D.
Allens
cankred
mind
.
all
opportunities
to
spit
forth
his
venim
against
so
gratious
a
princesse
.
But
let
vs
leaue
his
vice
vpon
himselfe
,
and
looke
in
to
the
vertue
of
his
argument
.
Athalia
,
was
lawfully
deposed
from
the
kingdom
,
D.
Allens
argument
drawne
from
the
example
of
Athalia
.
and
slaine
,
by
the
authoritie
of
Ioiada
the
high
priest
:
Ergo
the
Pope
hath
authority
both
to
depose
,
and
procure
the
death
of
the
Queenes
Maiestie
:
(
For
that
is
it
,
that
D.
Allen
doth
as
earnestly
labour
to
iustify
,
as
the
Pope
doth
diligently
endeuour
to
atchieue
:
)
but
I
trust
the
Pope
shall
faile
asmuch
of
his
wicked
intent
,
as
the
Doctor
faileth
in
his
weake
argument
.
Whereof
,
to
speake
first
of
the
whole
,
I
doe
consequent
.
For
neither
is
it
to
be
graunted
him
,
that
the
Popes
authority
is
Athalia
:
neither
is
her
Maiesties
case
like
to
Athaliaes
:
of
both
which
I
will
make
plaine
demonstration
.
First
concerning
Ioiada
,
as
he
was
high
priest
,
Athalia
,
she
was
an
vsurper
,
who
came
to
the
crowne
by
killing
the
kinges
children
,
all
sauing
one
,
whom
Ioiada
kept
secret
and
saued
from
her
furie
,
vntill
he
had
the
meanes
to
restore
him
to
his
kingdome
,
by
suppressing
the
vsurper
.
But
it
is
very
well
knowne
,
that
the
Queenes
Maiestie
is
no
vsurper
,
but
a
lawfull
Queenes
Maiestie
knowne
to
be
a
lawfull
prince
,
no
vsurper
.
Prince
,
neither
came
to
the
crowne
by
any
such
wicked
meanes
,
but
by
due
right
of
inheritaunce
:
So
is
there
as
great
oddes
betwixt
her
case
and
Athaliaes
,
as
betweene
the
authority
of
Ioiada
,
and
of
the
Pope
:
And
the
cases
being
vnlike
,
the
consequent
cannot
be
good
.
For
though
an
vsurper
may
lawfully
be
deposed
,
and
slaine
,
yet
it
followeth
not
therefore
that
a
rightfull
Prince
may
:
and
though
the
chiefe
Princes
and
States
of
a
countrey
vnited
together
,
may
aide
and
assist
the
lawfull
King
to
place
him
in
his
throne
,
and
to
put
downe
the
vsurper
:
yet
doth
it
not
follow
,
that
a
priest
,
which
is
a
meere
straunger
to
the
countrie
,
may
therefore
thrust
a
lawfull
Prince
out
of
his
kingdome
.
And
as
little
reason
as
there
is
in
his
consequent
,
he
caused
to
come
vnto
him
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
and
made
a
couenant
with
them
,
and
tooke
an
oth
of
them
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
&
shewed
them
the
kinges
sonne
,
After
which
consent
and
couenant
accorded
amongst
them
,
hauing
disposed
an
order
for
the
proclaiming
and
State
.
establishing
of
Ioash
(
the
young
&
rightfull
king
)
whom
he
had
so
saued
from
the
massacre
,
hee
brought
him
forth
(
as
the
text
saith
)
and
put
the
Crowne
vpon
him
,
and
gaue
him
the
testimonie
,
and
têhy
made
him
king
:
And
when
Athalia
hearing
State
,
not
by
Ioiada
alone
,
nor
by
his
authority
.
the
noise
of
the
running
of
the
people
,
came
in
,
and
cryed
treason
,
treason
:
the
text
saith
,
thêy
layd
handes
on
her
and
she
went
by
the
way
,
by
which
the
horses
go
to
the
house
of
the
king
,
and
there
was
shee
slaine
.
So
it
appeareth
by
the
very
text
itselfe
,
that
Athalia
was
neither
deposed
nor
slaine
by
Ioiada
,
nor
by
his
authority
,
but
by
the
Nobles
&
whole
state
of
the
countrey
,
and
by
the
authoritye
of
the
rightfull
king
,
whom
they
firstcrowned
,
annointed
,
and
proclaimed
:
neither
did
Ioiada
any
thing
in
the
matter
,
more
then
duety
,
nature
,
and
conscience
moued
him
vnto
,
to
present
vnto
the
nobles
and
fathers
of
Israell
,
the
kinges
sonne
whom
he
had
saued
,
and
to
further
the
restoring
of
him
to
his
right
,
being
the
king
his
maisters
sonne
,
and
neerest
allyed
vnto
him
,
and
(
especially
)
right
heire
to
the
kingdome
:
None
authoritie
did
hee
take
vpon
himselfe
therein
,
especially
in
respect
of
his
priesthood
.
Thus
you
see
how
little
this
example
of
of
the
vsurping
Queene
Athalia
serueth
D.
Allens
turne
to
proue
the
Popes
authority
to
depose

And
for
the
other

&

,
they

meane

touching
his

:
he
was
neither

and
was

in

against
the
king
of

,
about
Ramoth

.
But
if
he

which
were
destroyed
by
Iehu
,
D.

abuseth
both
himselfe
and
you
very
much
,
to
tell
you
that
they
were
deposed
and
destroyed

and

Kings

by
Priest
or
Prophet
:
for
it
was
Iehu
(
the
king
of
Israell
)
that
slue
Iehoram
,
and
smote
the
house
of
Ahab
,
and
caused
Iesabell
to
be
cast
out
of
the
window
.
But
(
saith
D.
Allen
)
Iehu
receiued
authority
and
commission
so
to
do
,
from
Eliseus
the
prophet
:
&
therefore
the
Pope
may
giue
(
and
consequently
hath
himselfe
)
authoritie
to
depose
and
kill
Princes
.
I
deny
your
antecedent
(
M.
Doctor
:
)
For
it
is
most
false
that
Iehu
receiued
authority
from
Eliseus
(
as
you
seeme
to
intend
he
did
from
Elias
,
mistaking
either
the
man
,
or
the
matter
,
in
your
defense
of
the
English
Catholike
)
to
put
downe
the
sonne
and
whole
house
of
Ahab
:
for
the
Prophet
which
was
sent
by
Eliseus
vnto
Iehu
to
annoynt
him
,
neuer
spake
word
of
Eliseus
to
him
,
much
lesse
deliuered
him
any
authority
from
Eliseus
,
but
deliuered
his
message
expressely
from
God
,
beginning
with
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israell
,
&c:
not
,
Thus
saith
Eliseus
.
So
was
it
the
authority
of
God
(
and
not
of
a
Ahab
,
and
Iesabell
,
deposed
and
slaine
by
the
authority
and
expresse
commandement
of
God
,
not
of
a
priest
,
or
prophet
.
Prophet
)
wherby
the
house
of
Ahab
,
and
Iesabel
were
put
downe
&
slaine
;
neither
was
priest
or
prophet
the
doer
,
but
Iehu
the
king
of
Israell
,
whom
God
had
by
speciall
commandement
appointed
to
depose
and
smite
them
,
being
himself
before
annoynted
king
in
their
place
by
the
same
commandement
.
Now
if
D.
Allen
will
hereupon
gather
any
argument
to
mainteine
the
same
authority
in
the
Pope
,
to
depose
&
destroy
princes
,
he
nust
needs
make
him
equall
in
authority
with
God
:
which
neither
Christian
,
Iew
,
nor
Pagan
,
will
in
reason
allow
vnto
any
mortall
creature
.
Now
for
his
other
example
of
k.
Saul
,
wherby
Saul
,
so
the
Pope
may
depose
Princes
:
it
doth
not
onely
make
nothing
at
all
for
his
purpose
,
but
is
also
most
forcible
against
himselfe
,
as
shall
bee
most
plainely
declared
vnto
you
.
For
whereas
first
he
assumeth
it
as
a
thing
most
true
and
certeine
,
that
Samuel
deposed
Saul
,
he
vtterlye
Samuel
.
mistaketh
,
or
rather
most
wickedly
belyeth
the
holy
historie
in
this
,
as
he
hath
done
in
the
others
:
For
the
Scripture
saith
,
that
God
rebuked
Saul
,
that
God
had
reiected
him
from
reigning
ouer
Israel
.
Whereby
it
appeareth
manifestly
,
that
although
Samuel
in
this
place
(
as
the
rest
of
the
prophets
in
other
places
)
did
by
Gods
expresse
commaundement
denounce
the
sentence
of
deposition
;
yet
was
it
not
Samuel
but
God
himselfe
,
that
deposed
Samuel
.
Saule
from
his
kingdome
,
to
the
great
griefe
of
Samuel
.
So
is
D.
Allens
argument
cleane
ouerthrowne
in
this
example
aswell
as
in
the
former
,
vnlesse
he
will
conclude
,
that
the
Pope
God
,
or
man
,
so
that
he
may
bring
his
purpose
to
effect
.
But
let
vs
look
further
into
this
example
,
and
D.
Allen
.
we
shall
see
how
farre
it
setteth
him
beside
the
saddle
.
Albeit
Saule
was
thus
deposed
by
God
himselfe
,
and
Dauid
annointed
king
in
his
place
by
Gods
owne
precise
commandement
,
yet
did
Samuell
thereupon
euer
go
about
to
depriue
him
of
his
kingdome
,
or
encourage
the
people
to
reuolt
from
him
,
and
disobey
him
?
Or
did
the
people
themselues
stir
against
him
so
long
as
he
liued
?
Or
did
Dauid
which
was
the
annointed
king
in
his
place
,
euer
offer
to
thrust
him
out
of
the
kingdome
,
or
seeke
his
life
?
No
:
Saul
reigned
many
yeares
after
that
,
and
the
people
both
obeyed
and
serued
him
.
Yea
and
Dauid
himselfe
when
he
might
haue
slaine
him
in
the
Caue
,
and
so
haue
gotten
also
the
present
possession
of
the
kingdom
to
himselfe
,
yet
he
would
not
,
nay
he
thought
it
a
sinne

was
stroken
,
and
trembled
at
the

,
because
hee
had

the

And
in
th'
end
when

was
brought

of

how
rewarded

I
pray
you
,
for
his
tydings
,
and
for
the
Crowne

hee
brought

How
wast
thou
not

saying
,
I
haue

Thus
you
see
Saul
a
wicked
King
deposed
,
not
by
a
Pope
,
nor
by
a
Priest
,
nor
by
a
Prophet
,
but
by
D.
Allen

God
himselfe
,
and
Dauid
chosen
and
appointed
by
God
,
and
anointed
in
his
place
:
and
yet
neither
the
Prophet
euer
counselled
or
mooued
the
people
to
disobey
Saul
,
being
so
deposed
,
nor
the
people
euer
offered
to
reuolt
or
to
deny
him
their
obedience
&
seruice
,
nor
Dauid
(
the
true
and
rightfull
king
appointed
by
God
in
his
place
)
euer
sought
or
consented
to
depriue
him
of
the
kingdome
,
though
due
vnto
himselfe
,
but
(
notwithstanding
he
knew
him
to
be
his
deadly
enemy
and
to
hunt
after
his
life
)
yet
hauing
him
twice
in
his
hands
,
where
he
might
safely
haue
slaine
him
,
and
therby
inuested
himselfe
of
the

,
neuerthelesse
wold
he
neither
touch
him
himselfe
,
nor
suffer
any
other
to
touch
him
,
calling
him
the
Lords
annointed
,
and
esteeming
it
a
high
sin
to
laie
his
hand
on
him
,
though
hee
were
deposed
by
God
himselfe
:
[

a
Howsoeuer
D.

intendeth
Saul
to

:
yet
the
learneder
Diuines
take
the
sentence
of
God
pronounced
by
Samuel
touching
his
reiecting
of
Saul
,
not
to
extend
to
the
present
deposing
of
Saul
himselfe

(
which
is

)

Conclusion

which
D.

hath
cited
to
prooue
the

authoritie
to
depose
Princes
,
doe
shew
that
anie
of
those
Princes
,
whom
he
mencioneth
,
was
deposed
either
by
Priest
or
Prophet
(
as
hee
falslie
assumeth
)
but
by
God
himselfe
:
how
can
hee
then
inferre
vpon
these
examples
,
that
the
Pope
hath
anie
such
authoritie
,
vnlesse
hee
attribute
(
as
I
said
before
)
as
much
authoritie
vnto
him
,
as
to
God
himselfe
?
And
if
(
Saul
being
deposed
by
God
himselfe
)
yet
neither
the
Prophet
did
thereupon
disswade
the
people
from
obeying
him
,
nor
the
people
once
offered
to
reuolt
from
him
,
but
continued
in
all
duetie
and
obedience
towardes
him
as
long
as
he
liued
,
which
was
manie
yeeres
after
his
deposition
:
and
if
Dauid
,
beeing
the
lawfull
annointed
King
in
his
place
,
yet
neither
sought
to
put
him
out
of
the
kingdome
,
but
yeelded
him
obedience
and
seruice
(
calling
him
Lord
&
maister
)
during
his
life
,
&
thought
it
sin
to
laie
his
hand
on
him
,
notwithstanding
he
was
deposed
:
&
lastly
,
in
token
of
the
misliking
and
displeasure
he
tooke
at
the
death
of
Saul
,
caused
the
messenger
that
brought
him
the
tidings
thereof
,
to
be
slaine
:
how
can
D.
Allen
by
this
example
induce
men
of
anie
reason
or
sense
to
beleeue
,
that
either
the
Pope
maie
lawfully
authorise
,
encourage
,
or
exhort
subiects
to
disobey
,
or
to
laie
hands
on
the
Lords
annointed
,
or
that
anie
subiect
may
lawfully
renounce
his
allegeance
,
reuolt
,
from
,
and
beare
armes
against
his
Souereigne
,
beeing
a
lawfull
Prince
,
onelie
vpon
a
colourable
warrant
of
deposition
,
by
a
man
,
a
Priest
,
a
stranger
,
who
hath
no
authoritie
in
the
worlde
to
depose
anie
Prince
from
his
kingdome
(
no
,
though
hee
were
an
Infidel
)
but
is
himselfe
euen
by
Gods
ordinance
a
subiect
to
Princes
?
With
what
face
can
hee
vtter
such
manifest
vntruthes
?
with
what
confidence
can
hee
persuade
himselfe
to
bee
beleeued
,
when
his
lies
are
so
monstrous
,
and
his
impostures
so
euident
?
But
most
of
all
,
with
what
conscience
can
hee
presume
to
force
the
word
of
God
to
his
purpose
,
which
is
so
directly
against
him
?
But
hereby
may
all
men
plainely
perceiue
how
small
regard
that
sect
hath
vnto
religion
,
but
onlie
to
serue
their
turnes
,
which
are
not
ashamed
to
make
such
impudent
and
vngodly
shiftes
,
to
maintein
their
vsurped
authoritie
.
Call
you
this
holines
,
M.
D.
to
abuse
the
people
with
false
doctrine
,
to
belie
the
scriptures
,
&
to
peruert
the
most
sacred
word
of
God
,
&
to
rob
him
of
his
own
peculiar
authoritie
and
prerogatiue
,
for
the
defence
and
furtherance
of
your
owne
rebellious
practises
?
In
trueth
it
resembleth
D.
Allens
holie
thiefe
,
whom
hee
mentioneth
in
his
Pamphlet
,
as
in
himselfe
.
much
the
holines
of
your
holie
thiefe
,
whom
it
pleaseth
you
somewhat
merrily
in
your
Pamphlet
to
compare
vnto
vs
,
but
in
truth
a
righter
patterne
of
your
own
profession
:
which
(
to
speake
truely
what
I
thinke
in
my
conscience
)
is
much
discredited
by
your
owne
double
dealing
.
You
your selfe
,
to
further
your
owne
purpose
(
as
you
supposed
)
could
prefixe
before
your
Pamphlet
euen
in
the
first
page
,
as
a
sentence
vnder
the
title
thereof
,
the
resolution
giuen
by
Christ
,
vpon
D.
Allen
prefixeth
before
his
Pamphlet
the
sentence
of
Christ
,
which
notwithstanding
in
the
same
Pamphlet
he
doth
wholy
courtermand
in
his
doctrine
.
all
men
to
giue
vnto
Caesar
(
that
is
to
the
King
and
Ciuill
Magistrate
)
whatsoeuer
is
due
vnto
him
,
that
is
feare
,
honor
,
subiection
,
and
tribute
:
And
how
dare
you
then
,
euen
in
the
same
Pamphlet
countermaund
this
commandement
of
our
Sauiour
,
bending
all
your
forces
,
craft
,
and
cunning
to
persuade
the
subiect
to
resist
his
Souereigne
,
and
thereby
to
break
this
high
and
peremptorie
commandement
?
But
you
saie
the
Pope
hath
authoritie
to
discharge
the
subiect
of
this
duetie
and
obedience
,
which
is
here
commanded
.
Shew
me
then
,
I
praie
you
,
some
Text
of
Scripture
,
that
giueth
the
Pope
so
large
Commission
as
you
speake
of
:
nay
,
shew
me
anie
dispensation
out
of
Gods
word
,
that
may
exempt
you
,
or
the
Pope
himselfe
out
of
the
compasse
of
this
commandement
.
For
the
precept
is
generall
,
and
therefore
extendeth
to
all
men
,
and
besides
,
was
expresly
giuen
by
Christ
vnto
his
Disciples
,
to
whom
hee
spake
in
presence
.
And
if
the
Pope
and
you
bee
the
Disciples
of
Christ
,
as
you
would
seeme
to
bee
,
then
must
you
also
(
as
well
,
or
rather
then
others
)
yeeld
obedience
and
subiection
to
your
Ciuill
gouernours
,
or
els
fall
into
the
breach
of
Christs
commandement
.
And
if
you
bee
subiect
to
the
ciuill
Magistrate
,
as
you
are
by
this
rule
of
Christ
:
how
can
you
take
that
authoritie
from
them
,
which
Christ
hath
giuen
them
ouer
you
?
If
you
saie
there
is
no
subiection
due
vnto
them
,
longer
then
they
continue
in
the
truth
of
Religion
:
Heretikes
,
Turkes
,
or
Heathens
,
yet
is
there
subiection
due
vnto
them
.
Rom.
13.
I
pray
you
tell
mee
first
,
how
prooue
you
them
to
be
heretikes
,
vnlesse
you
your selues
may
be
Iudges
?
Will
you
then
both
condemne
and
punish
them
,
before
they
bee
conuicted
of
crime
?
and
will
you
that
are
parties
,
bee
both
iudges
,
and
executors
of
your
owne
will
and
pleasure
?
Secondly
,
suppose
they
were
(
as
you
vniustly
condemne
them
to
be
)
heretikes
,
)
yea
suppose
they
were
Iewes
,
Turkes
,
Heathens
:
yet
is
there
neuertheles
obedience
and
subiection
due
vnto
them
.
For
what
was
Caesar
himselfe
,
but
a
Heathen
?
what
were
the
Princes
in
the
Aposties
times
(
of
whom
it
is
said
,
Let
euerie
soule
be
subiect
vnto
them
:
and
whosoeuer
resisteth
them
,
resisteth
the
ordinance
of
God
)
what
were
they
all
,
but
Heathens
?
If
Christ
himselfe
then
hath
confirmed
the
authoritie
and
power
euen
of
Heathen
Princes
:
how
can
the
Pope
dissolue
and
take
away
the
authoritie
,
power
,
kingdom
,
yea
&
life
too
,
of
Christian
Princes
?
And
yet
he
claimeth
his
authoritie
from
Christ
,
Christ
,
as
his
Vicar
.
as
his
Disciple
,
and
Vicar
here
on
earth
:
by
which
title
he
maketh
all
Princes
subiect
vnto
his
authoritie
.
In
truth
so
is
the
greatest
Prince
liuing
,
subiect
vnto
the
meanest
Preacher
and
Minister
of
God
,
to
Scriptures
,
and
to
receiue
his
instruction
,
exhortation
,
admonition
,
and
reproofe
:
yet
is
hee
not
(
though
he
should
reiect
his
instructions
)
to
be
therefore
deposed
from
his
kingdome
,
or
resisted
and
disobeyed
by
him
.
And
greater
authoritie
hath
not
the
Pope
himselfe
ouer
anie
Prince
,
then
the
meanest
Minister
and
messenger
of
God
.
I
finde
not
in
all
the
Scripture
that
euer
Christ
gaue
vnto
his
Disciples
anie
Commission
to
depose
Princes
,
although
they
should
disobey
his
word
:
but
I
finde
that
he
gaue
them
Commission
God
.
to
Preach
:
And
whosoeuer
shuld
not
receiue
them
,
nor
heare
their
words
,
he
bad
them
,
that
when
they
should
depart
out
of
that
house
or
Citie
,
they
should
shake
the
dust
of
their
feete
,
reseruing
the
punishment
of
them
vnto
God
.
As
for
the
superioritie
which
the
Pope
challengeth
ouer
Princes
,
as
the
Successor
of
Peter
,
&
disciple
Peter
,
from
whom
the
Pope
claimeth
authoritie
,
as
his
successor
,
was
commanded
by
Christ
to
feede
his
sheepe
,
but
expresly
forbidden
to
vse
the
sword
.
of
Christ
:
I
finde
no
such
Commission
giuen
vnto
Peter
himselfe
,
to
authorise
him
in
such
sort
ouer
Princes
:
but
I
finde
that
Christ
said
vnto
him
three
times
,
[
a
](A19742-e12580-b)
a
Ioh.
21.
Feede
my
sheepe
.
As
for
the
swoord
(
wherby
is
signified
the
Ciuil
Authoritie
)
Christ
expresly
forbad
Peter
to
vse
it
,
commanding
him
to

put
it
vp
into
the
sheath
.
To
the
same
effect
also
spake
he
not
only
to
Peter
,
but
to
all
the
rest
of
his
fellowes
the
Apostles
,
when
there
was
some
contention
risen
amongst
them
about
superioritie
:
Ye
know
(
saith
hee
)
that
the
Lords
of
the
Gentiles
haue
domination
ouer
them
,
and
they
that
are
great
,
exercise
authoritie
ouer
them
:
But
it
shall
not
be
so
among
you
:
But
whosoeuer
will
be
great
among
you
,
let
him
be
your
seruant
.
And
if
the
Pope
bee
Christs
Disciple
,
hee
must
learne
this
lesson
of
his
Maister
,
to
be
a
seruant
to
his
fellows
,
not
a
Commander
of
Kings
.

how

peruerted
,

belied
,
hath
been
(
I
hope
)
alreadie
sufficiently
declared
vnto
you
,
so
far
forth
as

gaue
occasion
,
and
farther
should
haue
been
,
but
that
this
question
is
handled
at
large
,
and
all
that
D.
Allen
can
say
therein
,
abundantly
confuted
by
a
learned

whereof
it
seemes
D.
Allen
will
take
no
knowledge
.
Diuine
,
a
man
of
as
great
sufficiencie
,
and
of
more
sinceritie
then
himselfe
,
in
the
answere
to
his
Defense
of
English
Catholikes
.
Now
to
come
to
the
matter
,
and
to
the
prosecuting
of
D.
Allens
purpose
,
you
see
that
hee
hath
not
onlie
failed
in
the
proofe
of
the
Popes
authoritie
to
depose
Princes
,
and
consequently
of
his
warrant
for
the
subiects
reuolt
:
but
also
his
own
examples
and
arguments
retorted
against
himselfe
,
and
the
contrarie
part
prooued
both
by
them
,
and
by
diuers
other
reasons
,
and
authorities
of
Scriptures
:
out
of
which
Doctor
Allen
bringeth
not
so
much
as
one
Text
(
in
trueth
,
I
must
confesse
,
because
he
cannot
,
vnlesse
hee
should
coyne
it
himselfe
)
to
proue
directly
his
prophane
assertions
.
So
that
no
man
can
be
so
blind
,
but
he
must
needes
perceiue
and
acknowledge
,
that
the
Pope
hath
neither
power
of
himselfe
,
nor
authority
from
God
,
to
depose
Princes
from
their
kingdomes
:
neither
can
giue
to
the
subiect
any
commission
,
or
licence
(
sauing
only
that
licence
which
D.
Allens
owne
examples
.
he
hath
himselfe
,
that
is
,
that
licence
qua
sumus
omnes
deteriores
)
so
much
as
to
disobey
their
Souereignes
,
much
lesse
to
reuolte
from
them
to
their
enimies
,
to
lay
handes
on
them
,
&
to
beare
armes
against
them
.
Whereby
it
cannot
but
bee
most
apparant
that
D.
Allen
respected
wholye
herein
the
subtilty
of
his
drifte
,
not
the
soundnes
of
his
doctrine
,
and
for
the
obteinment
of
credit
,
D.
Allen
respecteth
the
cunning
conueiance
of
his
purpose
,
not
the
sound
teaching
of
the
truth
.
and
attainment
of
his
purpose
thereby
,
affied
him selfe
altogither
vpon
the
smoothnes
of
his
perswasions
,
and
the
affectionate
mindes
and
inclinations
of
his
adherents
.
ANd
sithens
we
haue
alreadie
discouered
the
D.
Allens
perswasions
.
foundation
of
his
perswasions
to
bee
weake
,
false
,
and
rotten
:
it
shall
not
be
amisse
to
bestowe
a
little
labour
,
to
trie
if
a
small
wind
will
not
ouerthrow
the
building
it selfe
,
which
I
doubt
not
but
we
shall
find
to
be
patched
togither
of
as
rotten
stuffe
,
and
of
as
slender
substance
as
the
foundation
is
,
and
to
haue
nothing
in
it
to
withstand
the
weather
,
but
onely
the
bare
outside
and
colour
of
religion
.
The
ende
whereunto
this
perswasion
of
Spaine
,
and
the
other
forreine
forces
inuasion
,
nowe
presently
intended
,
and
prepared
against
our
countrey
.
Let
vs
then
next
see
to
what
persons
D.
Allen
principally
purposeth
and
addresseth
his
persuasions
.
First
for
Protestants
,
and
such
as
are
of
sound
Religion
(
as
I
trust
the
greatest
parte
of
England
,
Protestants
.
by
great
ods
,
is
)
D.
Allen
cannot
be
so
madde
as
to
hope
,
that
his
perswasions
can
haue
any
authoritie
,
or
worke
any
effect
with
them
,
but
to
confirme
them
rather
in
her
Maiesties
seruice
and
obedience
,
for
the
better
mayntenaunce
of
their
Religion
,
and
defence
of
themselues
and
their
goods
:
which
they
know
,
if
the
contrarie
faction
should
preuaile
(
which
God
I
trust
will
neuer
suffer
)
not
onely
th'
estate
of
Religion
were
cleane
ouerthrowne
,
but
themselues
also
,
and
all
theirs
prostrate
to
the
sword
,
rapine
and
spoile
,
which
it
sitteth
them
neerest
,
with
all
their
force
,
might
,
&
maine
,
to
defend
.
Newters
,
or
men
indifferent
.
As
for
such
as
are
neither
Protestants
,
nor
Papists
,
but
men
indifferent
,
or
of
no
religion
at
all
,
and
(
as
D.
Allen
termeth
them
)
plaine
Atheists
,
into
which
estate
he
most
slanderouslye
in
his
pamphlet
reporteth
our
countrey
to
bee
Rome
,
though
the
scope
be
far
larger
:
his
perswasion
(
in
mine
opinion
)
shoulde
doe
but
litle
good
(
or
harme
)
with
them
:
First
,
by
his
owne
reason
,
being
drawne
from
Religion
,
how
can
it
worke
with
them
that
are
of
no
religion
,
and
therefore
regard
not
Religion
?
And
if
they
be
men
indifferent
,
and
such
as
maye
by
reading
,
instruction
,
and
exhortation
bee
drawne

of

religion
:
D.
Allen
to
thinke
,
that
his
perswasions
should
rather
draw
them
to
his
religion
,
then
the
continuall
preaching
&
teaching
of
a
great
number
of
our
godly
ministers
(
men
as
learned
and
more
zealous
then
D.
Allen
)
should
winne
them
to
ours
?
Or
why
should
hee
imagine
,
that
they
shoulde
more
easily
bend
vnto
a
blind
and
superstitious
religion
grounded
vpon
ignorance
,
then
to
a
cleere
and
perspicuous
religion
,
grounded
vpon
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
vnlesse
he
presume
vpon
the
corruption
of

nature
,
which
is
more
inclined
to
euil
,
than
to

?
But
neither
of
these
sorts
of
men
are
the
persons
,
vnto
whom
D.
Allen
purposely
intended

Is
this
then
so
easie
a
matter
thinke
you
,
M.

to

your

vnto
?
For
mine
own

I
am
of

,
&
so
shal
you
find
them
also
,
I
doubt
not
,
if
euer
the
matter
come
to
triall
.
For
,
admit
they
bare
so
malicious
minds
towards
her
Maiestie
,
as
you
giue
good
cause
to
suspect
,
yet
they
are
English
men
,
and
if
they
beare
English
hearts
in
their
bodies
,
they
wil
neuer
endure
a
stranger
,
much
lesse
an
enimy
,
especially
so
insolent
,
cruell
,
and
intollerable
an
enimy
,
to
tyrannise
ouer
their
countrey
.
And
if
they
were
so
void
of
al
duety
,
piety
,
humanity
,
good
nature
,
&
manhood
,
as
to
betray
their
liege
Souereigne
,
abandon
the
defense
of
their
deere
countrey
,
&
to
abiect
their
minds
,
honor
,
&
reputation
,
&
subiect
their
names
to

infamie
:
yet
that
inward
working
of
naturall
loue
,
affection
,
&
care
of
themselues
,
their

,
their
children
,

,
and

,
yea
of
their

,

,
(
which
lye
al
vpon
the

)
wil
be
continually
knocking
at
their
bosomes
,
at
their

,
&
at
their

,
to
stir
them
vp
to
the
withstanding
of
their

But
as
we
haue
considered
somewhat
of
the
D.
Allen
chiefely
goeth
about
to
perswade
by
this
pamphlet
:
so
let
vs
now
examin
a
litle
the
force
and
weight
of
his
persuasions
.
After
a
long
dehortation
of
the
Q.
Maiesties
liege
subiectes
from
her
seruice
in
these
warres
,
(
which
it
pleaseth
him
to
terme
vniust
)
and
persuasion
to
them
to
reuolt
vnto
the
other
side
,
for
Religions
sake
,
with
diuers
circumstances
tending
wholy
to
that
purpose
,
wherein
he
vseth
onlie
his
owne
authoritie
for
reason
:
amongst
the
rest
,
to
mooue
them
thereunto
the
rather
by

,

citeth
out

,
How
for

D.
Allens
examples
cited
out
of
Eusebius
,
to
persuade
the
Papists
to
reuolt
for
Religion
.
by
sacrificing
vnto
Idols
,
and
in
particular
for
disobeying
the
Emperour
Maximinus
his
commandement
therein
,
the
famous
Colonell
S.
Maurice
with
the
whole
legion
of
Thebes
,
susteined
most
glorious
martyrdome
.
As
diuers
others
did
vnder
Iulian
the
Apostata
,
and
the
like
:
And
many
noble
soldiers
,
for
that
they
could
not
exercise
their
Christian
vsages
,
partly
were
driuen
to
abandon
their
profession
in
displeasure
of
their
Princes
,
and
partly
were
licenced
to
depart
:
&c.
Marke
,
I
praie
you
,
the
force
of
these
examples
,
Heathen
Princes
,
nor
from
Iulian
the
Apostat●
himselfe
.
and
how
well
they
serue
the
purpose
,
for
which
D.
Allen
citeth
them
.
We
see
not
by
them
,
that
anie
of
all
these
valiant
Christian
Soldiers
,
whom
he
mencioneth
,
did
euer
reuolt
from
the
Princes
whom
they
serued
,
or
take
armes
against
them
;
which
is
the
purpose
whereunto
they
are
cited
:
but
rather
,
that
to
auoide
superstition
,
and
the
abhominable
seruice
of
Idols
,
they
forsooke
their
profession
,
their
Countries
,
yea
and
their
liues
also
,
before
they
woulde
offer
to
reuolt
to
their
Princes
enemies
.
Yet
see
the
oddes
betweene
the
persons
&
cases
.
They
were
Soldiers
,
and
were
vrged
to
forsake
the
true
God
&
to
commit
Idolatry
,
yet
rather
endured
death
then
they
would
offer
to
reuolt
from
a
Heathen
Prince
,
notwithstanding
hee
would
haue
enforced
them
to
renounce
Christ
:
And
yet
M.
Allen
goeth
about
by
these
examples
,
to
persuade
subiects
,
to
Rebell
against
their
naturall
Prince
,
beeing
Queenes
Maiestie
doth
not
driue
anie
from
the
seruice
of
God
,
but
endeuoureth
to
draw
all
men
from
Idolatrie
to
the
true
knowledge
&
worship
of
God
.
a
Christian
,
neither
compelling
,
nor
commanding
them
to
forsake
God
,
but
endeuouring
by
all
good
&
godly
means
to
draw
them
to
the
true
knowledge
and
worship
of
God
,
from
the
blindnes
of
superstition
and
Idolatrie
.
Is
not
this
a
straunge
thing
,
to
see
a
man
so
learned
,
as
hee
is
esteemed
to
be
,
so
much
to
ouershoote
himselfe
,
in
offering
such
euident
abuses
,
to
seduce
those
with
whom
his
credit
may
preuaile
?
Yet
hath
he
another
argument
as
fit
for
his
purpose
D.
Allens
,
to
encourage
the
Papists
to
reuolt
.
as
this
,
wherein
hee
encourageth
the
English
Catholikes
,
and
such
as
are
pliable
to
his
persuasions
,
to
reuolt
from
her
Maiesties
seruice
vnto
the
pretended
Catholike
partie
,
by
mention
of
the
great
victories
and
happie
successe
,
which
God
giueth
vnto
those
,
that
with
their
armes
vphold
Religion
,
declaring
also
that
God
fighteth
himselfe
for
the
defense
of
his
owne
cause
and
of
the
right
,
which
(
in
mine
opinion
)
can
bee
no
encouragement
,
but
ought
rather
to
be
a
great
terror
to
the
English
Romanists
,
for
enterprising
to
take
armes
against
their
gracious
Souereigne
.
For
first
looking
into
home
examples
of
the
Northumberland
,
and
Westmerland
:
like
sort
,
within
their
owne
memorie
,
they
know
what
befell
vnto
the
two
late
Earles
of
Northumberland
,
and
Westmerland
,
and
the
rest
of
that
rebellious
faction
:
who
hauing
entred
into
the
like
conspiracie
,
and
for
the
like
cause
that
D.
Allen
now
so
much
recommendeth
vnto
his
Catholike
Countreymen
,
and
hauing
made
D.
Allen
here
so
much
commendeth
.
The
Rebels
by
Gods
power
and
assistance
ouerthrowen
.
a
verie
strong
partie
,
in
seuerall
partes
of
the
Realme
,
and
sodeinly
raised
a
great
power
of
the
greatest
strength
of
the
North
of
England
,
were
notwithstanding
by
the
prouidence
and
assistance
of
God
(
for
it
is
hee
onelie
that
giueth
victorie
,
not
the
strength
of
man
,
or
of
Horse
)
within
verie
short
time
ouerthrowen
,
dispersed
,
and
scattered
,
the
most
and
principallest
of
the
Ring-leaders
taken
,
and
executed
according
to
their
desert
,
and
the
rest
driuen
to
abandon
their
Countrey
,
and
to
liue
abroad
like
outcasts
and
vagabonds
.
They
remember
likewise
since
that
time
what
Ireland
,
Anno.
1580.
vpon
the
same
cause
&
quarrell
.
became
of
the
Romish
Catholike
Forces
(
whom
I
before
mencioned
)
which
landed
in
Ireland
in
the
yeere
1580
:
who
as
they
came
in
defense
of
the
same
cause
,
and
of
the
same
Religion
,
so
found
they
euen
the
same
encounter
,
in
so
much
as
few
of
them
(
I
thinke
)
returned
home
,
to
boast
or
make
report
of
their
victorie
.
If
then
this
position
of
D.
Allens
persuasion
bee
Rebels
and
Inuaders
doth
)
by
D.
Allens
own
argument
)
both
shew
the
cause
to
bee
naught
,
and
warneth
our
English
Papists
,
for
the
like
cause
not
to
enter
into
the
like
action
.
true
(
as
it
is
most
true
)
that
God
fighteth
for
the
defense
of
true
Religion
,
and
of
the
right
:
the
English
Catholikes
,
and
all
men
els
,
may
see
by
these
examples
,
that
the
cause
was
naught
and
vniust
,
and
the
Religion
corrupt
and
false
,
in
the
defense
whereof
these
armies
were
so
discomfited
:
&
may
likewise
bee
warned
by
their
successe
,
to
take
heed
how
for
the
like
cause
they
enter
into
the
like
action
.
Secondly
,
the
examples
which
D.
Allen
reciteth
of
the
ouerthrows
,
which
haue
happened
vnto
the
K.
of
Spaines
Rebels
(
as
hee
termeth
them
)
in
the
Spaines
Rebels
(
as
D.
Allen
saith
)
ought
to
terrifie
all
men
from
Rebellion
.
low
Countries
:
what
doe
they
els
but
admonish
all
English
men
to
beware
,
how
they
rebell
or
stirre
in
armes
against
their
lawfull
Souereigne
;
seeing
ouerthrow
and
confusion
threatened
as
a
iust
recompence
of
rebellion
?
And
if
our
English
Romanists
,
or
anie
other
whosoeuer
,
her
Maiesties
naturall
subiects
,
will
but
duely
and
vprightly
consider
of
these
arguments
,
though
brought
by
D.
Allen
to
a
contrarie
purpose
:
I
doubt
not
but
they
may
bee
thereby
sufficiently
dissuaded
and
discouraged
,
from
all
such
wicked
and
vnnaturall
attempts
.
But
,
because
this
Pamphlet
of
D.
Allens
(
is
as
we
politike
.
haue
shewed
you
)
altogither
politike
,
tending
not
so
much
to
the
defense
of
the
action
which
he
pretendeth
,
as
to
a
further
purpose
,
which
I
haue
also
discouered
herein
:
it
shall
bee
no
great
labour
to
me
,
but
some
reproofe
to
him
,
to
note
in
a
word
or
two
,
before
I
make
an
ende
,
some
ouersights
euen
in

,
escaped
this
great
politicien
,
euen
in
this
small
Pamphlet
,
which
is
nothing
els
but
a
packet
of
politike
driftes
,
composed
for
a
preparatiue
vnto
mischiefe
.
And
first
to
beginne
with
the
whole
argument
of
his
persuasion
,
affirming
it
to
be
lawfull
Religion
,
a
warrant
for
the
reuolt
of
the
low
Countreymen
,
and
consequently
for
all
that
assist
them
,
against
the
K.
of
Spain
for
the
subiect
in
cause
of
Religion
to
reuolt
from
his
Souereigne
:
what
doeth
it
els
but
giue
warrant
and
defense
to
the
people
of
the
low
Countries
in
resisting
the
King
of
Spaine
,
(
though
he
were
,
as
D.
Allen
supposeth
him
to
bee
)
their
lawfull
and
vndoubted
Souereigne
,
and
consequently
to
the
actions
of
all
such
,
as
hitherto
haue
,
or
hereafter
shall
yeeld
them
anie
succours
or
assistance
against
him
?
For
it
is
well
knowen
,
that
the
first
and
principall
matter
,
wherewith
they
founde
themselues
agreeued
,
was
the
restraint
Religion
.
of
Religion
,
for
that
they
might
not
freely
vse
and
enioy
the
libertie
of
their
consciences
vnder
him
.
Which
beeing
the
true
ancient
Catholike
,
and
Apostolike
Religion
,
clensed
from
the
dregges
and
superstition
of
the
Romish
Church
,
it
was
and
is
lawfull
for
the
people
of
those
Countries
(
by
Doctor
Allens
position
)
for
defense
of
that
Religion
to
take
armes
against
the
King
of
Spaine
,
though
hee
were
their
rightfull
king
,
and
consequently
for
vs
,
or
anie
other
,
in
that
lawfull
quarrell
to
assist
them
.
Thus
the
policie
which
D.
Allen
contriueth
to
impeach
vs
one
way
,
is
not
only
a
defense
vnto
vs
in
the
principall
cause
,
which
he
impugneth
,
but
as
great
an
impeachment
to
his
owne
Patrone
.
Another
ouersight
in
policie
,
which
I
note
D.
Allens
wordes
may
be
preiudiciall
to
the
K.
of
Spaine
,
his
Patrone
.
in
Doctor
Allens
Pamphlet
,
is
,
that
in
the
whole
discourse
throughout
,
wheresoeuer
he
speaketh
of
the
people
of
the
low
Countreys
,
hee
termeth
them
Rebels
and
Heretikes
:
which
termes
,
as
they
cannot
but
bee
verie
scandalous
to
the
people
,
so
may
they
bee
verie
preiudiciall
to
the
K.
of
Spaine
,
whose
partie
he
so
much
fauoureth
.
For
where
the
Duke
of
Parma
hath
long
endeuoured
,
and
still
doth
,
by
such
factors
and
secret
practisers
,
as
he
hath
among
the
States
of
the
countries
,
to
win
them
by
faire
meanes
and
inticements
to
the
obedience
&
subiection
of
the
K.
of
Spaine
:
what
a
hindrance
may
this
be
to
that
practise
,
when
the
people
shall
see
themselues
reputed
&
published
Rebels
&
Heretikes
by
so
great
a
man
as
D.
Allen
,
a
Cardinall
,
&
professed
Aduocate
to
the
K.
of
Spaine
,
whom
they
may
imagine
,
for
his
credit
,
calling
,
and
adherencie
with
the
King
,
to
know
better
then
themselues
,
what
opinion
is
held
of
them
,
&
what
minde
towards
them
,
by
the
King
,
and
not
to
cast
low
Countreymen
may
make
of
it
,
that
D.
Allen
openly
termeth
them
Heretikes
and
Rebels
.
out
such
words
at
randon
,
of
his
owne
meere
intemperancy
?
What
may
they
gather
of
it
?
or
what
construction
may
any
man
in
reason
make
of
it
?
This
onelie
may
they
well
thinke
with
themselues
.
All
is
not
gold
that
glistereth
,
and
within
a
faire
bait
,
may
bee
hidden
a
foule
hooke
.
And
howsoeuer
the
Duke
of
Parma
in
the
behalfe
of
the
King
(
his
Maister
)
allureth
vs
with
curtesie
and
faire
promises
(
as
it
standeth
with
good
policie
for
him
to
doe
)
if
hee
may
by
that
meanes
draw
vs
home
to
his
obedience
,
yet
hauing
once
gotten
vs
vnder
his
hand
,
it
is
doubtfull
how
hee
will
intreat
vs
.
For
the
wound
which
wee
haue
made
him
by
these
long
warres
and
infinite
troubles
,
charges
,
and
expenses
,
is
so
great
,
as
it
can
neuer
bee
so
cleane
healed
,
but
there
will
still
remaine
a
foule
skarre
,
which
will
put
him
alwaies
in
remembrance
of
the
hurt
hee
hath
receiued
by
vs
:
so
that
though
it
bee
for
the
present
in
shew
forgiuen
,
yet
wee
may
well
assure
our selues
,
it
can
not
in
heart
bee
for
euer
forgotten
:
neither
is
it
wisedome
to
trust
a
reconciled
friend
,
much
lesse
a
scarce
reconciled
Lorde
,
that
hath
our
liues
and
all
at
commandement
.
Besides
,
this
may
also
be
a
caueat
vnto
vs
to
be
the
more
circumspect
how
we
trust
him
,
that
we
see
euen
whilest
he
is
yet
seeking
to
win
vs
,
his
deuote
fauourers
,
&
such
as
for
their
credit
with
him
,
are
priuy
to
the
estate
of
his
dealings
,
&
opinion
of
vs
,
doe
not
sticke
openly
to
call
vs
Rebels
&
Heretikes
:
how
much
more
then
may
we
assure
our selues
,
that
we
are
in
inward
account
so
esteemed
by
him
?
And
if
hee
Papists
,
That
there
is
no
faith
to
be
kept
with
Heretikes
.
hold
vs
for
Heretikes
,
what
faith
or
promise
wil
he
keep
with
vs
,
when
we
are
once
fast
in
hand
?
If
Rebels
,
what
other
thing
are
wee
to
expect
at
his
hands
,
then
the
flat
reward
of
Rebels
?
Thus
may
D.
Allens
termes
(
and
not
without
great
reason
)
kindle
,
or
at
the
least
encrease
such
a
suspition
,
in
a
subtill
,
ielous
,
and
wauering
people
,
alreadie
doubtfull
of
their
securitie
,
as
may
frustrate
all
the
Duke
of
Parmaes
earnest
endeuours
,
and
secrete
practises
for
the
reclayming
of
those
Countreys
,
and
greatly
endomage
the
King
of
Spaine
,
his
owne
Patrone
.
For
in
truth
,
that
people
is
verie
apt
,
and
hath
good
cause
vpon
former
experience
to
bee
suspicious
in
this
case
,
by
how
much
the
more
likely
it
is
,
these
verie
termes
may
drawe
them
into
a
further
ielousie
of
the
Kinges
meaning
towardes
them
:
which
occasion
Doctor
Allen
should
not
in
policie
haue
ministred
,
to
the
preiudice
of
this
Catholike
Protector
.
3
Now
for
the
whole
latter
part
of
his
Pamphlet
conteining
the
persuasion
of
reuolt
,
iudge
,
I
pray
you
,
what
policie
it
was
for
him
to
enter
into
that
argument
,
in
such
open
sort
,
and
in
so
dangerous
a
season
.
For
where
his
purpose
and
whole
intent
therein
is
,
to
stir
vp
his
Catholike
countreymen
against
her
Maiestie
,
to
the
aide
and
assistance
of
those
forrein
forces
,
which
are
prepared
for
the
inuasion
D.
Allen
vseth
to
effect
his
purpose
,
is
a
most
likely
occasion
to
preuent
and
defeat
his
purpose
.
of
her
&
her
Realme
:
see
if
the
very
meanes
which
he
vseth
to
atteine
vnto
his
purpose
,
do
not
giue
sufficient
occasion
to
preuent
and
cleane
cut
off
the
accomplishment
and
ende
of
his
purpose
,
for
which
he
vseth
them
.
For
when
her
Maiestie
shal
see
an
open
persuasion
vsed
publikely
vnto
her
subiects
(
especially
those
that
are
of
the
Romish
Religion
)
inciting
them
to
reuolte
from
her
obedience
,
to
ioyne
with
her
enimies
against
her
,
and
to
employ
their
vttermost
forces
to
the
bereauing
of
her
both
of
kingdome
,
and
of
life
,
with
a
iustification
of
the
action
,
drawne
from
the
authority
of
their
holy
Father
the
Pope
(
which
their
ignorant
and
superstitious
deuotion
hath
by
all
likelyhood
perswaded
them
,
that
it
were
damnable
for
them
to
disobey
:
)
and
published
by
a
principal
piller
of
their
Church
,
the
credit
of
whose
Cardinalship
,
is
likely
inough
to
preuaile
with
them
,
euen
against
their
owne
knowledge
,
nature
,
and
spirite
:
when
her
Maiestie
(
I
say
)
shall
in
so
perillous
a
time
and
expectation
of
inuasion
,
see
so
great
a
danger
her
Maiestie
to
loke
straightly
to
the
Papists
.
imminent
ouer
her
,
by
her
Romish
Catholike
subiects
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
a
plaine
denuntiation
and
threatening
of
the
vtter
ruine
&
ouerthrow
,
both
of
her selfe
and
her
whole
state
,
to
be
doubted
(
or
rather
certainly
expected
)
at
their
hands
,
will
it
not
make
her
looke
better
to
her selfe
,
and
streighter
to
those
Catholikes
?
Nay
,
being
thus
her
Maiestie
to
take
a
seuere
course
with
the
papists
,
&
not
for
Religion
,
but
for
the
better
establishment
and
assurance
of
her selfe
and
her
estate
,
especially
considering
her
great
dangers
past
,
and
seeing
the
perils
imminent
,
and
dayly
threatened
vnto
her
by
them
:
but
Clemency
hath
euer
preuailed
with
her
,
which
God
continue
till
,
so
that
it
may
be
with
her
safety
.
warned
,
as
she
may
well
be
,
by
this
perswasion
of
D.
Allens
,
what
can
she
do
lesse
(
if
she
wil
do
but
that
,
which
in
reason
&
in
all
good
policie
she
may
,
and
is
by
this
pamphlet
admonished
and
whetted
on
to
do
,
for
the
preseruation
of
her selfe
and
her
kingdome
)
then
prouide
speedily
to
cut
such
Catholiks
cleane
of
,
and
to
roote
them
out
of
her
countrey
,
and
not
to
nourish
any
longer
so
manye
and
so
venimous
serpents
,
yea
such
pestilent
hydraes
in
her
bosome
,
by
whom
such
assured
daunger
and
mischiefe
is
portended
and
threatened
towards
her
?
At
the
least
,
if
her
princely
nature
and
clemencie
,
which
hath
euer
hitherto
but
too
much
preuailed
with
her
in
the
like
cases
,
will
not
suffer
her
to
vse
that
meanes
,
which
in
reason
were
most
fitte
and
necessarie
for
her
best
assuraunce
:
yet
the
naturall
and
due
care
of
her
owne
safety
,
and
the
weale
publike
,
must
of
necessity
inforce
her
,
at
the
least
to
disarme
,
and
vtterly
disable
them
from
doing
harme
.
By
which
meanes
D.
Allen
(
I
trust
)
shall
at
the
least
be
disappointed
of
his
purpose
(
for
any
assistance
his
Catholike
brethren
here
,
shall
be
able
to
yeelde
vnto
his
Catholike
king
,
against
their
liege
Souereigne
)
her
Maiestie
by
his
pamphlet
,
to
deale
hardlyer
with
them
,
then
any
protestant
would
wish
.
euen
by
occasion
of
his
Religious
perswasions
:
which
,
if
her
Maiesties
mercie
were
not
greater
then
his
wisedome
and
foresight
in
this
point
,
might
bee
a
meane
of
more
displeasure
and
harme
vnto
the
English
Romanists
,
then
either
D.
Allens
counsell
,
or
the
king
of
Spaines
forces
,
or
the
Popes
blessing
,
will
euer
be
able
to
repaire
.
And
for
this
might
they
thanke
D.
Allen
,
whose
prophane
policies
turne
to
the
confusion
of
his
own
frends
and
folowers
.
Now
,
to
growe
towardes
an
end
,
and
to
giue
you
a
briefe
remembrance
of
that
which
hath
bene
alreadie
spoken
:
you
haue
herein
seene
,
1
First
,
all
D.
Allens
arguments
,
brought
in
his
pamphlet
for
the
iustification
of
the
deliuering
vp
of
Deuenter
,
particularly
answered
and
confuted
,
the
fact
of
Sir
William
Stanley
and
Yorke
(
by
his
owne
position
)
proued
plaine
treason
,
and
all
her
Maiesties
actions
in
the
low
Countreys
(
or
otherwise
)
towards
the
k.
of
Spaine
(
by
D.
Allens
owne
arguments
,
assertions
,
and
authors
)
proued
most
lawfull
,
iust
,
and
honorable
:
2
Secondly
,
his
most
wicked
and
malicious
mind
and
practise
,
against
her
most
Excellent
Maiestie
,
and
the
whole
State
and
Countrey
,
most
plainely
and
euidently
discouered
;
togither
with
his
cunning
order
,
methode
,
and
meanes
he
vseth
to
atteine
vnto
his
trecherous
purpose
:
his
slanderous
defamations
of
her
Maiesties
most
princely
and
godly
actions
,
and
of
her
ministers
and
countrey
,
most
truely
and
iustlye
refuted
,
and
rebanded
vpon
himselfe
and
his
partie
:
and
his
holy
fathers
authoritie
to
depose
Princes
,
togither
with
his
warrant
for
the
subiectes
disobedience
,
vtterly
disproued
&
ouerthrowne
,
not
onely
by
sundry
authorities
,
both
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
and
of
the
ancient
fathers
and
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
but
also
by
those
very
examples
,
which
D.
Allen
himselfe
produceth
,
for
his
best
confirmation
thereof
:
Thirdly
,
his
seditious
and
vngodly
perswasions
vnto
her
Maiesties
naturall
borne
subiectes
,
shewed
to
be
most
deceitfull
,
corrupt
,
malicious
,
and
such
as
ought
to
haue
no
force
,
being
grounded
vpon
such
examples
and
arguments
,
as
doe
rather
inforce
the
contrarie
:
and
his
policies
so
prophane
,
absurd
,
and
vnaduised
,
as
(
being
measured
by
the
line
of
right
consideration
)
they
turne
wholy
to
the
aduantage
of
them
,
against
whom
they
are
intended
,
and
to
the
great
preiudice
of
himselfe
,
and
his
associats
.
Wherin
,
that
you
may
the
better
perceiue
by
Cardinall
,
you
are
in
the
first
to
consider
the
lawdable
and
high
renowmed
Aduocate
▪
and
broacheth
his
best
vessels
of
Rhetorike
,
with
his
ruinous
and
decayed
eloquence
to
solemnise
,
&
proclaime
their
veluetheaded
vertue
and
deuotion
.
Touching
the
fact
,
I
neede
not
by
bitternes
D.
Allens
owne
assertions
also
proued
,
most
traiterous
,
dishonorable
,
and
infamous
.
For
the
persons
,
I
rather
remember
them
with
pitie
,
then
pursue
them
with
malice
:
that
the
one
of
them
being
of
an
ancient
&
noble
house
,
a
man
well
frended
and
greatly
fauored
,
and
W.
Stanley
.
then
euen
in
the
ready
way
of
aduauncement
,
should
(
of
a
meere
discontented
mind
)
deceiue
the
expectation
and
good
opinion
of
his
gratious
Souereigne
and
honorable
frendes
,
and
preuent
his
owne
good
happes
:
the
other
Treason

most
odious
and
shamefull

of
Ingratitude

of
whom
he
had
receiued
sundry
fauours
and
great
benefits
,
and
by
whose
speciall
meanes
he
had
receiued
his
life
:
both
of
them
in
betraying
their
Generall
,
which
had
trusted
them
both
,
aboue
their
desert
:
both
of
them
in
preferring
the
present
gaine
of
some

crownes
,
before
the
respect
of

their

it

lesse
pleasure
it
is
to
me
,
to
oppresse
them
with
reproches
,
whom
their
own
doings
haue
already
cast
downe
to
the
lowest
dungeon
of
discredit
.
I
will
therefore
onely
bewayle
their
want
of
grace
,
not
afflict
their
persons
,
by
rubbing
ouer
the
rawe
skarres
of
their
freshe
woundes
,
not
yet
fullye
skynned
.
And
these
(
forsooth
)
are
the
famous
facts
,
which
D.
Allen
so
highly
commendeth
:
these
the
honorable
persons
,
whose
Orator
he
maketh
himselfe
,
to
declaime
of
their
praises
.
And
no
maruell
if
an
Archtraytor
defend
Treason
:
for
if
Treason
Treason
.
should
haue
no
defense
,
his
owne
fact
were
the
more
infamous
:
and
if
the
inferiour
Traytors
be
so
highly
extolled
,
how
much
the
greater
is
his
own
glory
?
In
the
second
,
you
are
to
obserue
the
actions
,
The
persons
so
sacred
,
so
religious
,
so
vnspotted
,
so
far
aboue
all
blemish
of
detraction
,
as
Malice
D.
Allen
is
by
Gods
owne
worde
expressely
forbidden
,
not
onelye
to
speake
,
but
so
much
as
to
imagine
euill
of
,
in
thought
.
Yet
such
is
the
corruption
of
his
mind
,
the
disobedience
of
his
heart
,
the
neglect
and
contempt
he
hath
of
Gods
commandement
,
as
no
regard
of
vertue
,
no
respect
of
ciuility
,
no
feare
of
God
or
man
,
can
restraine
his
outragious
intemperancie
.
But
herein
hath
he
obserued
Decorum
,
and
shewed
himselfe
in
all
pointes
like
himselfe
:
for
he
that
vice
,
must
needes
be
an
open
enimy
to
vertue
.
hath
professed
himselfe
an
open
patrone
of
vice
and
trecherie
,
and
a
cannoniser
of
disloyall
traytors
,
it
fitteth
best
his
person
and
quality
,
to
obiect
himselfe
as
a
sworne
aduersarie
to
all
honorable
,
godly
and
religious
actions
,
and
a
malicious
and
slanderous
defamer
of
all
true
noble
,
vertuous
,
and
renowmed
personages
.
In
the
third
,
you
are
to
note
the
nature
of
the
thing
,
whereunto
he
goeth
about
to
perswade
you
,
that
is
,
to
reuolte
from
the
due
obedience
and
seruice
of
your
Souereigne
,
to
rebell
and
to
take
armes
against
her
,
&
your
countrey
:
a
thing
first
,
in
it selfe
,
God
,
and
repugnant
vnto
his
word
,
as
hath
bene
by
sundry
arguments
,
and
expresse
authorities
of
Scripture
,
manifestly
declared
vnto
you
:
secondly
,
for
the
effects
,
vnnaturall
,
odious
,
and
infamous
throughout
the
A
fit
perswasion
for
such
an
author
,
wherein
Lastly
,
for
a
full
consummation
and
accomplishment
of
his
prayses
,
you
are
in
all
and
euery
Scripture
,
to
his
seditious
and
wicked
purposes
.
Which
if
any
(
vpon
the
good
opinion
they
haue
conceiued
of
D.
Allens
integrity
&
zeale
in
religion
)
do
thinke
not
to
be
intended
by
him
to
the
deceiuing
of
them
,
they
do
God
.
But
herein
hath
he
(
I
saie
)
duely
and
orderly
accomplished
his
course
,
with
such
equalitie
,
proportion
,
and
vniformitie
in
all
points
,
as
the
middle
D.
Allens
vniformitie
in
all
points
of
his
Pamphlet
.
appeareth
in
each
respect
answerable
to
the
beginning
,
and
the
ende
vnto
both
:
insomuch
as
the
Authour
hath
effectually
shewed
himselfe
not
to
haue
degenerated
in
anie
point
,
from
his
first
humour
&
disposition
:
but
that
you
may
rightly
say
of
him
(
forsomuch
as
he
hath
declared
in
this
pamphlet
,
)
that
if
there
be
one
good
zeale
,
motion
,
or
affection
in
him
,
there
is
neuer
a
bad
.
If
anie
man
thinke
mee
to
haue
been
more
earnest
and
bitter
in
speeches
against
the
man
,
then
I
D.
Allen
,
but
against
his
malicious
&
wicked
dealings
.
heretofore
promised
and
professed
,
let
him
impute
it
to
the
bitternes
of
the
argument
and
occasion
,
for
I
protest
I
haue
not
in
any
thing
inueighed
against
the
person
,
but
against
his
wicked
,
malicious
,
and
pestilent
practises
:
which
I
know
no
subiect
well
affected
could
with
patience
endure
to
think
vpon
,
and
I
my selfe
haue
beene
enforced
to
command
my selfe
temperancie
,
in
repeating
and
answering
them
,
labouring
in
no
wise
to
discredit
him
,
but
endeuouring
wholy
to
discouer
his
double
and
deceitfull
dealings
,
his
irreligious
and
prophane
policies
,
and
his
euident
abuses
and
impostures
:
Antichristian
Monarchy
.
which
hath
been
euer
hitherto
the
onlie
meanes
,
that
not
hee
alone
,
but
all
the
rest
of
the
same
sect
haue
vsed
,
to
seduce
men
from
the
Truth
to
the
following
of
their
faction
,
for
the
setting
vp
of
their
Antichristian
Monarchy
.
For
that
is
the
verie
marke
they
shoote
at
,
to
make
themselues
Lordes
,
and
Rulers
of
the
world
,
and
to
draw
as
well
the
authoritie
of
the
swoord
,
as
the
custodie
of
the
keyes
,
into
their
owne
handes
,
and
to
bring
all
Kinges
,
Princes
,
Emperours
,
and
all
Ciuil
powers
,
vnder
their
subiection
and
obedience
.
Which
knowing
at
the
first
that
they
could
not
by
anie
meanes
bring
to
passe
,
if
the
word
of
God
,
(
which
is
directly
against
their
purposes
,
and
beateth
downe
their
intolerable
pride
,
and
ambitious
desire
of
Souereigntie
)
should
once
bee
made
publike
and
common
to
the
people
,
whereby
they
might
be
able
to
discerne
their
doctrine
,
and
finde
out
their
errors
and
abuses
:
to
keepe
and
restraine
men
from
that
knowledge
,
they
endeuoured
first
to
Scriptures
,
by
prohibiting
them
to
be
published
in
those
languages
,
wherin
the
people
might
read
and
vnderstand
them
:
teaching
the
people
,
that
it
was
not
conuenient
for
them
to
meddle
with
the
Scriptures
,
but
that
it
was
sufficient
for
them
to
relie
wholy
vpon
their
doctrine
,
and
necessarie
for
their
saluation
to
beleeue
what
they
taught
,
and
to
fulfill
what
they
commanded
.
So
by
this
meanes
might
they
teach
whatsoeuer
they
would
,
for
who
could
controll
them
?
and
whatsoeuer
they
taught
,
the
people
were
bounde
to
beleeue
,
vpon
paine
of
damnation
;
for
who
durst
offende
his
Ghostly
Father
?
If
anie
true
member
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
stirred
vp
by
the
spirite
of
God
,
and
an
earnest
zeale
of
his
word
,
to
encounter
their
wicked
proceedings
,
and
to
hinder
the
kingdome
of
Antichrist
,
did
put
himselfe
forwarde
to
reprooue
their
errors
,
rebuke
their
abuses
,
and
sincerely
to
teach
the
word
of
God
,
and
due
administration
of
the
Sacraments
,
according
to
the
true
institution
Gospell
,
&
free
vse
of
the
Scriptures
,
was
proclaimed
by
the
Papists
for
an
Heretike
.
of
Christ
,
and
the
doctrine
of
the
Apostles
and
the
Primitiue
Church
,
endeuouring
to
communicate
vnto
all
men
the
knowledge
of
the
trueth
:
they
forthwith
condemned
him
for
an
Authour
of
new
doctrine
,
a
sower
of
sedition
,
and
(
to
make
him
the
more
odious
vnto
the
world
)
proclaimed
him
for
an
Heretike
,
thundring
out
their
Bulles
,
excommunications
,
and
curses
against
him
,
and
all
to
the
ende
that
men
might
not
incline
to
him
,
nor
giue
anie
credit
or
regard
to
his
teaching
,
whereby
Scriptures
,
and
to
the
discouering
of
their
Popish
abuses
,
and
impostures
.
Now
,
when
they
see
these
policies
no
longer
auaile
them
,
but
that
mighty
Princes
&
whole
Nations
,
mooued
by
the
inward
working
of
the
holie
Spirite
,
haue
caught
hold
of
,
and
embraced
the
light
of
the
Gospel
,
and
thereby
haue
begun
to
descry
their
iugling
and
tromperie
,
and
to
fall
away
from
their
Catholike
,
and
Apostolike
Faith
,
only
to
the
intent
to
reduce
them
to
their
former
subiection
and
obedience
,
and
to
establish
their
owne
Antichristian
Monarchie
.
And
what
other
meanes
vse
they
to
drawe
them
to
the
accomplishment
of
their
vngodly
,
and
woorse
then
barbarous
designements
,
but
euen
their
ancient
and
accustomed
policie
and
practise
of
deceit
,
seducing
them
with
false
doctrine
,
and
persuading
them
,
those
thinges
to
bee
most
lawfull
,
honourable
and
necessarie
to
bee
done
,
vpon
paine
of
damnation
,
which
are
expresly
forbidden
by
the
word
of
God
?
And
can
anie
man
then
bee
so
senseles
as
to
bee
mooued
by
their
persuasions
,
seeing
how
first
they
haue
noozled
them
in
ignorance
,
and
barred
them
the
meanes
,
whereby
they
might
haue
come
Scriptures
,
only
to
binde
men
(
by
ignorance
)
to
the
beleeuing
of
their
traditions
.
to
the
knowledge
,
to
bee
able
to
discerne
of
trueth
,
and
falshood
,
only
to
the
intent
to
binde
them
wholy
to
the
beleeuing
of
their
traditions
:
and
now
(
hauing
so
Captiued
their
vnderstandings
and
iudgements
with
blindnes
,
as
either
they
haue
not
the
knowledge
to
descry
their
abuses
,
or
at
the
least
haue
it
wholy
restrained
to
the
credit
of
their
doctrine
,
)
forbeare
not
to
impose
vpon
them
anie
falshood
,
that
may
further
their
ambitious
purposes
?
There
is
no
man
but
knoweth
that
the
plaine
Truth
,
which
is
euer
able
to
iustifie
it selfe
,
craueth
no
credit
,
nor
feareth
to
be
sifted
to
the
vttermost
:
but
it
is
falshood
,
that
seeketh
corners
,
and
vseth
policie
to
creepe
into
credit
,
and
refuseth
to
come
to
open
triall
.
And
why
should
then
the
Romish
Church
recommend
ignorance
vnto
the
people
,
and
leade
them
on
in
blindnesse
with
their
own
traditions
,
restraining
from
them
the
reading
and
knowledge
of
the
Scriptures
,
which
is
the
true
touchstone
of
Religion
,
if
their
doctrine
were
pure
and
sounde
,
and
able
to
abide
the
touch
?
Christ
biddeth
all
men
search
the
Scriptures
;
why
should
they
then
forbid
or
hinder
anie
man
to
reade
the
Scriptures
,
but
that
they
know
the
Scriptures
condemne
both
their
doctrine
and
dooings
,
and
therefore
feare
to
haue
their
falshood
and
wickednes
discouered
?
Wherein
they
doe
most
of
all
,
and
most
the
children
of
darkenes
,
not
of
the
light
,
The
blinde
,
leaders
of
the
blinde
,
Wolues
in
Sheepes
cloathing
:
And
what
better
marke
seeke
ye
to
know
them
by
,
then
the
same
verie
marke
,
whereby
Christ
himselfe
hath
notified
them
vnto
you
,
that
is
,
by
their
fruites
?
their
pride
,
their
Atheisme
?
And
can
you
(
notwithstanding
all
these
notes
of
them
(
giuen
you
by
Christ
)
beleeue
them
,
or
suffer
your selues
to
be
seduced
by
them
?
But
mee
thinkes
I
doe
euen
see
D.
Allen
himselfe
proceeding
on
with
the
rest
of
Dauus
his
part
,
D.
Allen
is
neuer
weery
of
an
ill
worke
.
and
saying
to
the
Pope
(
his
Maister
)
Deceptus
sum
,
at
non
defatigatus
:
Hac
non
successit
,
alia
aggrediamur
via
:
I
am
disappointed
of
my
purpose
,
but
not
weary
of
my
worke
:
Since
this
trick
hath
not
serued
our
turne
,
let
vs
trie
another
.
In
trueth
I
doubt
nothing
of
his
good
will
,
nor
of
his
endeuour
,
neither
yet
of
the
readines
of
the
rest
of
that
crue
,
to
pursue
this
argument
:
for
neither
is
this
the
first
assault
,
that
D.
Allen
hath
giuen
to
the
subiects
fidelitie
and
obedience
,
neither
is
D.
Allen
the
first
and
onely
Champion
,
that
hath
striken
the
first
blow
in
so
bad
a
quarrell
,
though
none
of
them
euer
yet
answered
the
encounter
.
But
the
best
hope
is
,
let
him
,
or
anie
other
giue
the
assaie
againe
,
when
,
and
as
often
as
they
lust
,
I
trust
they
shall
bee
still
disappointed
,
and
in
the
ende
weery
,
or
cleane
worne
out
:
and
when
they
haue
attempted
all
the
waies
they
can
,
they
shall
bee
as
wise
,
as
they
were
in
the
beginning
,
and
in
the
beginning
,
midst
,
and
ending
,
neerer
to
their
owne
ende
,
then
to
the
ende
of
their
purpose
.
For
God
will
neuer
giue
successe
to
so
godles
an
enterprise
.
As
for
this
slender
push
of
D.
Allens
Pamphlet
,
I
hope
there
is
not
the
holowest
hart
of
all
her
Maiesties
subiects
,
in
whom
there
is
either
feare
of
God
,
sense
of
reason
,
or
regard
of
his
owne
safetie
,
but
that
hauing
seene
his
weake
forces
,
his
brittle
weapons
,
his
false
fiers
,
and
counterfeit
engines
,
is
sufficiently
armed
in
himselfe
with
his
owne
honestie
,
faith
,
and
loyaltie
,
to
abide
and
withstand
and
this
feeble
and
forcelesse
batterie
.
But
what
shall
I
now
saie
to
M.
Allen
,
and
the
rest
of
our
fugitiue
Countreymen
,
that
haue
left
their
Souereigne
,
their
Countrie
,
and
their
duetie
altogither
,
especially
such
as
haue
not
onelie
left
them
,
but
doe
maliciously
stirre
vp
all
the
meanes
they
can
to
ouerthrow
,
destroy
,
and
vtterly
English
Fugitiues
seditious
dealings
deserue
more
then
to
be
inueighed
against
,
of
euerie
true
subiect
.
deface
them
?
Shall
I
whet
my selfe
wholy
to
inueigh
against
them
?
I
know
their
deedes
haue
not
only
deserued
it
,
but
doe
iustly
prouoke
me
and
euerie
good
subiect
vnto
it
.
But
I
will
vse
Charitie
,
euen
where
it
is
not
to
bee
shewed
.
Shall
I
then
in
Charitie
reprooue
them
?
I
would
they
were
as
willing
to
heare
reproofe
,
and
as
readie
to
bee
reformed
,
as
they
haue
been
charitably
,
friendly
,
and
brotherly
admonished
.
Shall
I
labour
to
exhort
and
perswade
them
to
the
&
conuertimini
,
Be
wise
and
turne
,
their
eares
are
so
close
stopped
,
their
hearts
so
ouerhardened
,
their
mindes
so
maliciously
bent
against
her
Maiestie
,
their
Countrey
,
and
vs
all
.
What
shall
I
then
say
further
to
them
?
Alas
,
in
so
desperate
a
case
,
I
can
say
no
more
,
then
Doctor
Allen
in
his
Pamphlet
saieth
to
his
Countrey
(
but
with
a
better
minde
and
meaning
towards
them
,
then
he
doth
towards
vs
,
)
Alas
for
them
,
and
thrice
Alas
for
them
:
for
I
doe
euen
from
the
bottome
of
my
hart
pitie
their
errour
,
I
enuie
not
their
Religion
:
I
doe
euen
from
the
bottome
of
my
heart
bewaile
their
obstinacie
,
I
hate
not
their
persons
▪
I
doe
euen
from
the
bottome
of
my
heart
lament
their
their
miserable
estate
,
I
malice
not
the
men
:
I
wish
better
to
them
,
then
they
doe
vnto
vs
:
I
desire
neither
the
spilling
of
their
blood
,
nor
the

I
pray

&
pray
hartily
for
them

God
amend
them
,
God
lighten
their
eies
,
if
they
be
blinde
and
doe
not
see

open
their
eares
,
if
they
bee
deafe
and
cannot
heare
,
turne
their

if
they
bee

neither

God
(
if

giue
them
grace
to
know
his
will
,
to
acknowledge
his
will
,
and
to
conforme
themselues
to

D.
Allen
hath
attempted
by
his
perswasions
to
corrupt
you
,
&
withdraw
you
from
them
?
Why
,
you
see
his
perswasions
are
of
litle
force
,
grounded
vpon
falshood
,
and
contrarye
to
the
word
of
God
.
But
were
they
neuer
so
forcible
,
why
should
you
be
corrupted
by
them
?
An
honest
faithfull
mind
may
well
be
assaulted
,
but
But
why
should
you
disobey
,
and
reuolte
from
your
princes
seruice
,
and
take
armes
against
her
and
your
countrey
,
as
D.
Allen
exhorteth
you
to
do
?
Whether
vpon
iust
cause
,
or
vpon
discontentment
?
If
vpon
discontentment
,
you
shewe
yourselues
rebels
▪
not
to
your
Souereigne
onely
,
but
to
God
himselfe
,
in
that
you
are
not
contented
with
his
ordinaunce
,
but
will
striue
to
put
it
downe
,
and
set
vp
a
new
ordinance
of
your
own
.
This
motion
cannot
proceede
but
of
the
deuill
himselfe
,
the
rebellious
spirite
,
and
mouer
of
all
sedition
.
If
you
saie
vpon
iust
cause
,
you
deceiue
your
But
(
you
will
say
)
your
Souereigne
is
a
partie
also
,
aswell
as
you
,
in
the
cause
.
So
may
she
be
,
&
yet
a
iudge
.
But
to
whose
iudgement
then
will
you
appeale
?
there
is
none
to
be
iudge
ouer
her
,
but
God
.
Will
you
then
be
iudged
by
him
?
Indeed
he
is
the
highest
iudge
,
and
by
him
the
whole
world
is
to
be
iudged
.
And
will
ye
be
content
to
stand
to
his
iudgement
?
I
know
you
will
not
call
him
out
of
heauen
,
in
person
to
iudge
betwixt
you
:
for
you
neede
not
:
because
he
hath
left
his
lawes
and
iudgements
amongst
you
,
here
on
earth
,
recorded
in
his
owne
bookes
of
the
old
&
new
testament
,
which
may
be
sufficient
to
determine
this
cause
,
without
any
further
assistance
,
seeing
that
by
them
the
whole
world
is
to
be
iuged
.
Looke
then
into
his
booke
for
his
iudgement
in
this
case
,
and
you
shal
finde
that
he
forbiddeth
you
absolutely
(
without
exception
of
any
cause
)
to
laye
your
handes
vpon
the
Lordes
annointed
:
and
commaundeth
you
as
absolutely
(
without
all
manner
exception
)
to
submit
your selues
aswell
to
your
Prince
,
as
to
her
ministers
and
inferiour
gouernours
,
to
obey
her
,
and
not
to
resist
her
,
for
if
yee
resist
her
,
he
telleth
you
that
yee
resist
his
ordinaunce
,
and
shall
thereby
receiue
to
your selues
iudgement
.
You
heare
now
,
how
God
in
his
holy
Scriptures
But
,
if
it
were
lawfull
for
you
(
as
it
is
not
)
for
any
cause
,
to
rise
in
armes
against
the
Queens
Maiestie
,
your
liege
&
drad
Souereigne
,
what
cause
(
I
pray
you
)
would
you
pretend
for
your
so
doing
?
will
you
say
Religion
?
Indeed
Religion
is
the
cause
,
for
which
D.
Allen
teacheth
you
,
that
it
is
lawful
&
honorable
for
you
to
take
armes
against
your
prince
,
&
laboureth
earnestly
to
perswade
you
therunto
,
such
as
are
of
his
religion
.
But
what
kind
of
Religion
call
you
that
,
that
stirreth
you
vp
Religion
,
that
stirreth
vp
subiects
to
Rebellion
.
to
Rebellion
?
You
haue
receiued
no
such
religion
from
Christ
,
nor
from
his
Apostles
:
for
they
teach
you
the
contrary
,
both
by
their
doctrine
,
and
examples
.
They
tell
you
that
you
must
submit
your selues
to
your
Souereigne
,
obey
,
and
not
resist
her
.
They
,
when
they
were
imprisoned
,
tossed
,
and
Truth
:
which
is
cleane
contrarie
to
this
Religion
,
which
you
professe
.
From
whom
then
receiue
you
your
Religion
?
from
your
holy
father
the
Bishop
of
Rome
?
It
may
very
well
be
;
for
it
sheweth
it selfe
from
whence
it
cometh
.
And
is
this
the
Religion
,
for
which
you
will
take
armes
against
your
Prince
?
Why
,
you
see
it
is
a
Religion
taken
from
man
,
and
not
from
God
,
and
therefore
cannot
stand
.
You
see
it
is
a
Religion
contrarie
to
the
doctrine
and
Religion
of
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
,
and
therefore
not
the
true
Religion
.
Will
you
then
take
armes
against
your
Prince
in
the
quarrell
and
defense
of
a
false
Religion
?
you
know
not
what
you
do
,
and
that
is
also
the
fault
of
your
Religion
.
For
if
you
had
giuen
your selues
to
the
reading
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
studie
of
knowledge
,
whereby
you
might
haue
bene
able
to
giue
an
account
of
your
faith
,
and
knowne
the
ground
of
your
Religion
,
and
not
leaned
so
much
,
nor
giuen
so
great
trust
vnto
mens
traditions
:
you
might
(
with
Gods
grace
and
assistance
)
haue
found
out
a
sounder
Religion
.
But
then
should
you
haue
fallen
from
the
precepts
of
your
Popish
teachers
▪
But
yet
should
you
haue
followed
the
commaundement
of
Christ
,
who
biddeth
you
Search
the
Scriptures
.
What
fault
find
you
with
our
Religion
?
Wee
teach
nothing
,
but
what
we
learne
out
of
the
Scriptures
:
we
hold
constantly
the
doctrine
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
and
of
the
holie
Apostles
in
all
pointes
vnchanged
,
and
by
them
we
offer
our selues
to
bee
tried
,
and
our

And
do
you
condemne
the
Scriptures
,
the

of
Christ

his

?
If
you
do
,
the

will
condemne

how
can

No

no

if
you
doe
,
you
deceiue
your selues

you
take

your

and

and
(
in

,
vnder
pretense

you
seeke
to
ouerthrow
the

wherein

against

but
against
God
himselfe
,
who
is
the
authour
and
defender
of

Christ
teacheth
you
not

he

But
you

for

are

yee

ye
are
punished
for

not

for

teacheth
you
to

to

Christ
saith
,
My
sheepe
heare

:
whose
sheep
are
you
then
?
for
you
are
none
Christes

If
ye
wil
be
of
Christes
flock
,
you
must
renounce

which
withdraweth
you
from

for

you
cannot

Do
you
call
th'

of

against

persecution
for

?
You
do
either
ignorantlie
mistake
it
,
or
slaunderouslie
misreport
it
.
For
none
was
euer
executed
Treason
,
not

for

,
but
for
expresse
Treason
against
her
Maiesties
person
,
as
hath
bene
sufficientlie
declared
and
published
to
all
men
.
But
(
you
will
say
)
they
did
nothing
but
what
Religion
moued
and
bound
them
in
conscience
to
do
.
I
beleeue
it
,
and
affirme
asmuch
as
you
saie
:
&
this
is
the
fault
,
I
warned
you
of
before
,
in
your
Religion
.
A
good
Religion
(
ywis
)
that
moueth
and
bindeth
men
to
the
committing
of
Treason
against
their
Christian
Rulers
.
Can
you
confesse
so
much
your selues
,
and
yet
are
ye
so
blinde
,
that
you
will
not
see
the
impietie
of
your
Religion
?
Yet
see
your
owne
daunger
,
how
in
professing
that
Religion
,
you
condemne
treason
.
If
your
Religion
tie
them
necessarily
to
treason
,
that
hold
it
,
as
in
truth
it
doth
,
(
for
they
must
either
disobey
her
Maiesty
,
or
not
obey
the
Pope
:
)
how
can
you
acknowledge
your selues
professors
of
that
Religion
,
and
not
condemne
your selues
for
traitors
to
your
souereigne
?
Leaue
,
leaue
therefore
that
erroneous
and
vngodly
profession
,
and
terme
it
not
by
the
holie
name
of
Catholike
Religion
,
but
meere
blindnes
and
Superstition
,
being
grounded
vpon
the
vaine
inuentions
and

of
men
,
so
directly
opposite
vnto
the
word
of
God
,
so
contrarie
to
the
doctrine
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
so
inseparably
combined
and
linked
with
Treason
,
as
you
cannot
be
either
true
Catholiks
,
Christians
,
or
loyall
subiects
,
so
long
as
you
persist
in
it
.
Pretend
not
the

of

against
your

for
(
assure
your selues

if

in

from

I

there
is

how
often

sundrie
times
her

your

namely
the
Insurrections
in
the

of
the
late
most
vertuous
Prince
of
famous
memorie
,
Edward
the
sixt
,
against
whom
a
rabble
of
rebellious
subiects
in
sundrie
partes
assembled
themselues
,
some
pretending
the
quarrell
of

,
some
of

,
and
gathered
mightie
forces
of
manie
thousands
,
to
the
great
amazement
of
the
whole
Countrey
,
and
the
Prince
a
Child
,
yet
what
(
I
pray
you
)
was
the
ende
of
their
Rebellion
,
but
The
histories
are
ful
of
the
like
examples
of
all
ages
for
what
age
hath
not
brought
forth
of
both
sorts
,
as
well
disobedient
Rebels
and
miscreants
,
as
honest
and
duetiful
subiects
?
but
how
different
soeuer
the
causes
and
quarrels
haue
been
(
as
there
was
neuer
anie
such
action
so
bad
,
but
had
the
pretence
and
colour
of
some
good
intent
)
for
which
the
Rebels
Rulers
,
resist
God
,
Whose
ordinance
they
are
,
and
those
that
resist
God
,
God
will
confound
them
,
&
(
which
is
most
wretched
and
miserable
)
their
infamie
shall
remaine
vpon
perpetuall
record
,
for
a
spectacle
to
all
posteritie
.
What
hope
haue
you
then
left
,
to
encourage
you
to
so
godlesse
an
action
,
to
take
armes
against
your
gratious
Souereigne
?
Doe
you
expect
redemption
(
as
you
pretend
Religion
)
through
the
meanes
and
assistance
of
forreine
Forces
?
Nay
rather
assure
your selues
of
certeine
Captiuitie
or
destruction
.
For
,
if
forreine
powers
should
preuaile
ouer
your
countrie
,
do
you
hope
for
aduancement
at
their
hands
in
your
countrie
?
No
,
no
,
your

A
iust
reward
for
your

:
And
this
is
the
best
issue
you
are
to
expect
of
so
bad
an
action
.
For
,
if
your
forreine
auxiliarie
forces
goe
to
the
ground
,
as
I
trust
they
shall
,
if
euer
they
giue
the
attempt
against
her
Maiestie
and
this
Realme
,
looke
you
to
goe
with
them
also
for
companie
(
as
you
are
well
worthie
)
if
you
goe
not
before
them
;
euen
when
soeuer
you
shal
first
offer
to
stir

For

I
know
)

especially
against
a
forreine
Enemy

English
men
,
how
soeuer
some
few
of
the
skumme
and
dregges
of
them
(
as
of
other
Nations
)
may
either
of
a
discontented
minde
,
or
desire
of
alteration
for
hauock
and
spoiles
sake
,
or
through
the
lewde
inticements
of
others
,
be
stirred
vp
to
sedition
,
yet
they
are
all
generally
by
nature
most
faithfull
vnto
their
Prince
and
Countrie
,
and
especiallie
against
forreine
enemies
,
in
a
case
of
Inuasion
,
whereupon
they
shall
see
,
lieth
the
hazard
of
the
vniuersal
ouerthrow
of
themselues
and
their
Countrey
.
And
therefore
whatsoeuer
you
bee
,
that
beare
a
Rebellious
minde
against
your
Prince
and
Countrey
,
and
an
vnnaturall
affection
to
the
partaking
and
furtherance
of
a
forreine
enemie
,
make
sure
account
of
Seeing
then
the
assured
issue
of
your
rebellious
attemptes
(
if
anie
of
you
should
be
so
wickedly
inclined
)
and
the
present
danger
and
destruction
hanging
ouer
your
heads
,
mee
thinks
you
should
haue
but
litle
courage
,
or
comfort
to
stir
in
such
a
cause
against
your
Prince
&
Countrie
.
But
let
not
terror
in
these
outward
respects
either
onlie
,
or
principally
,
driue
you
from
disobeying
or
resisting
of
your
Souereign
,
whom
you
are
expresly
commanded
by
God
to
obey
,
not
for
feare
,
but
for
conscience
:
but
if
God
,
comfortable
to
your
Prince
,
and
healthfull
to
your
owne
soules

NOw
to
such
as
are
faithfull
&
true
harted
subiects
to
her
Maiestie
(
as
I
trust
all
are
)
I
shal
not
neede
to
vse
anie
exhortation
at
all
,
because
I
know
you
are
already
so
wel
affected
in
hart
towards
your
gracious
Souereigne
,
and
so
throughlie
confirmed
in
your
obedience
and
duetie
,
as
there
cannot
bee
more
added
thereunto
by
anie
mans
persuasions
.
Therfore
will
I
onelie
giue
you
in
a
word
such
You
haue
plainly
vnderstood
by
this
discourse
,
the
malicious
minde
&
purpose
of
D.
Allen
and
his
partie
,
against
our
Queene
&
countrey
,
&
the
seditious
practises
,
and
persuasions
vsed
by
him
in
his
Pamphlet
,
to
the
furtherance
therof
:
which
though
(
I
know
)
they
can
take
no
hold
of
any
of
you
,
yet
let
vs
take
this
benefit
of
our
enemies
,
to
make
their
doings
our
warnings
,
to
arme
our selues
against
their
malice
.
That
they
wish
ill
to
vs
,
we
need
not
doubt
:
their
owne
writinges
bewray
it
.
That
they
intend
il
towardes
vs
,
wee
must
needes
suppose
:
their
practises
haue
declared
it
.
That
they
meane
to
attempt
ill
against
vs
,
wee
may
well
assure
our selues
:
their
preparations
doe
certeinlie
confirme
it
.
How
then
?
shall
wee
bee
dismaied
at
it
?
that
were
not
manlike
.
Shall
Romish
and
Spanish
forces
appall
vs
?
That
were
dishonourable
for
English
men
.
Shall
we
be
daunted
with
the
feare
of
a
forrein
enemy
?
Then
should
we
degenerate
from
the
courage
of
our
forefathers
.
Their
forces
are
great
:
ours
greater
.
Their
threatnings
are
terrible
:
our
valour
is
tried
.
Their
pride
vnmatched
:
our
courage
vnmated
.
Their
malice
deadly
:
our
mindes
vndaunted
.
Their
furie
Pope
,
we
for
God
,
and
our
Prince
.
And
what
is
hee
,
nay
,
what
is
shee
,
that
will
not
take
armes
,
that
wil
not
fight
,
that
will
not
die
in
this
quarrel
?
Our
fathers
haue
vanquished
forreine
Princes
:
Prince
,
degenerate
Children
of
so
generous
Parentes
,
and
infamous
Inhabitantes
of
so
famous
a
Countrey
?
Let
vs
therefore
all
of
vs
(
seeing
the
quarrell
is
generall
and
common
to
vs
all
,
for
the
defense
of
true
Religion
,
our
Prince
,
and
our
Countrey
,
)
let
vs
all
prepare
our selues
cheerefullie
to
th'
encounter
,
let
vs
not
respect
the
crie
of
wife
,
or
childe
,
let
vs
respect
their
defense
:
let
vs
plucke
vp
our
hartes
,
take
vp
our
armes
,
and
march
hardilie
to
meete
with
our
enimie
;
let
vs
fight
with
him
,
let
vs
die
vpon
him
,
yea
let
vs
seeke
him
,
if
he
seeke
not
vs
.
We
do
all
owe
God
a
death
:
how
shall
we
better
pay
it
,
then
in
hîs
quarrell
?
Our
liues
are
all
at
our
Princes
commandement
:
how
can
they
be
better
spent
,
then
in
hêr
seruice
?
We
are
all
borne
for
our
countrey
:
why
should
we
then
refuse
to
die
for
our
countrey
?
If
we
die
in
Gods
quarrell
,
we
shall
liue
in

kingdome
:
If
we
die
in
our
Princes
seruice
,
we
shall
liue
in

memorie
of

:
If
we
die
in

of
our
countrey
,
our

shall
liue
for

A
Heathen
Poet
could
saie
to
his
heathen
countreymen
in
his
age
,
Dulce
&
decorum
est
pro
patria
mori
:
It
is
a
sweete
and
honorable
death
,
In
countreys
cause
to
spend
our
vitall
breath
:
And
shall
not
we
Christians
thinke
it
most
dishonorable
for
vs
,
to
feare
to
die
in
the
common
cause
of
our
God
,
our
Prince
,
and
our
countrey
?
Why
,
D.
Allen
himself
,
in
his
pamphlet
,
where
he
goeth
about
to
discourage
vs
,
by
admonishing
vs
not
to
be
emboldened
by
the
Memory
of
our
old
English
notorious
battailes
and
victories
,
which
in
olde
time
were
comparable
to
what
prouinces
or
peoples
were
most
famous
,
nor
by
th'
esteeme
or
opinion
(
either
true
,
or
partiall
)
of
our
present
strength
and
courage
in
England
:
what
doth
he
but
adde
comfort
and
courage
vnto
vs
,
in
stirring
vs
vp
aswell
by
the
examples
of
our
forefathers
victories
,
to
imitate
their
vertues
,
as
by
the
knowledge
of
our
own
strength
and
courage
,
to
take
hart
and
courage
vnto
vs
?
Let
vs
then
not
cast
away
that
encouragement
which
he
giueth
vs
,
rather
let
vs
augment
it
by
our
own
constancie
of
mind
,
and
resolution
.
If
the
strength
of
our
Realme
were
great
in
our
Englishmen
,
like
true-harted
Englishmen
.
Let
vs
all
and
euery
one
of
vs
shew
ourselues
forward
in
aduauncing
this
seruice
of
the
common
cause
,
with
our
substance
,
with
our
forces
,
and
with
our
bodies
also
to
the
vttermost
,
as
a
great
number
of
our
faithfull
countreymen
in
diuers
partes
of
the
realme
,
yea
,
whole
countyes
,
cities
,
and
townes
,
and
London
,
haue
done
most
duetifully
,
louingly
,
and
honorably
.
Which
I
do
the
more
willingly
remember
,
not
onely
for
the
comfort
of
my selfe
,
and
them
▪
and
euery
good
subiect
,
and
to
their
great
honor
and
commendation
,
but
also
for
an
incitement
vnto
others
by
their
example
to
be
stirred
vp
vnto
the
like
duetie
and
forwardnes
.
Wherein
if
we
ioyne
all
,
our
hartes
,
armes
,
and
forces
togither
,
like
true
and
faithfull
subiects
,
I
am
fully
perswaded
our
,
forrein
inuadors
,
whensoeuer
they
come
,
shall
find
England
the
hotest
countrey
that
euer
they
set
foote
in
:
We
are
likely
inough
to
measure
their
Spanish
Cassocks
with
our
English
bowes
,
and
their
shoulders
with
our
browne
billes
,
before
they
measure
our
broad
cloth
with
their
long
pikes
.
And
before
it
come
to
that
,
I
doubt
not
but
some
thousands
of
them
(
God
being
our
guide
)
shall
cary
their
last
message
vnto
their
great
grandfathers
,
the
next
way
by
water
.
But
what
do
I
vse
encouragement
to
them
,
that
If
God
bee
with
vs
,
who
can
bee
against
vs
:
And
that
God
is
with
vs
in
this
quarrell
,
let
vs
stedfastly
assure
ourselues
,
howsoeuer
D.
Allen
perswade
the
contrarye
:
and
let
him
and
his
partakers
knowe
that
God
is
against
them
,
and
will
bee
,
so
long
as
they
oppose
themselues
against
the
obedience
of
his
word
,
the
knowlddge
of
his
Truth
,
&
the
light
of
his
glorious
Gospell
.
And
that
God
may
be
with
vs
still
,
and
continue
with
vs
for
euer
▪
let
vs
humble
ourselues
vnto
him
dayly
and
duely
,
with
earnest
▪
and
hartie
prayer
and
repentance
,
let
vs
serue
him
continually
with
a
zealous
feare
and
obedience
,
let
vs
glorifie
him
incessantly
with
a
liuely
faith
and
constancie
:
lastly
,
let
vs
giue
ourselues
wholy
to
him
,
that
we
may
winne
him
wholy
vnto
vs
.
So
we
being
his
,
and
he
ours
,
let
vs
all
,
and
euery
one
of
vs
,
comfort
ourselues
vpon
his
assurance
,
let
vs
fortifie
our
mynds
vpon
his
assistance
,
and
adde
our
endeuour
to
his
encouragement
:
assuring
ourselues
,
that
fighting
in
so
godlie
,
so
iust
,
so
honorable
a
quarrell
,
the
successe
cannot
be
but
most
happie
,
most
prosperous
,
most
glorious
:
that
,
if
we
defend
our
countrey
,
we
shall
remaine
free
and
safe
;
if
wee
ouerthrow
our
Enimies
,
we
shall
abide
victorious
:
if
we
die
in
this
quarrell
,
we
shall
liue
eternally
.
To
which
assurance
of
freedome
,
safety
,
victorie
,
&
life
,
what
comfort
can
be
comparable
?
