and
Protestant

True
levell
laid
to
a
crooked
worke
,
discovereth
what
is
out
of
order
.
The
old
Proverbe
saith
,
It
is
good
to
expect
the
lame
Post
,
and
the
last
newes
are
ever
truest
.
We
ought
not
to
beleeve
every
spirit
,
but
the
spirits
must
be
tried
,
according
to
S.
Iohn
.
For
Truth
is
the
daughter
of
Time
.
It
cannot
bee
denied
but
that
England
hath
beene
gulled
by
a
Dalmatian
Bishop
,
whom
time
hath
discovered
to
be
the
only
Ecebolius
of
our
daies
,
unsavourie
salt
,
a
man
of
no
Religion
,
a
Run-away
from
the
Truth
.
He
came
from
Venice
(
where
hee
had
made
some
time
of
abode
)
into
England
,
Anno
1616.
where
being
arrived
,
hee
pretended
hee
was
sent
from
God
to
judge
,
to
reforme
,
and
to
reunite
the
Christian
world
.
He
likened
himselfe
to
Abraham
,
in
leaving
at
the
voice
of
God
his
house
,
his
parentage
,
and
his
countrey
.
He
familiarly
compared
himselfe
with
S.
Paul
,
in
his
former
zeale
against
the
true
Religion
,
as
he
said
,
in
the
manner
of
his
Conversion
miraculously
effected
,
in
receiving
his
Gospell
,
as
he
would
have
it
seeme
,
not
from
man
,
but
immediatly
from
God
,
in
being
an
universall
Apostle
,
as
hee
pretended
,
and
sent
unto
all
Nations
:
and
lastly
,
in
that
high
degree
of
Love
,
whereby
he
offered
himselfe
to
bee
made
an
Anathema
for
his
brethren
.
By
tongue
and
pen
,
by
word
and
writing
upon
his
afore-said
arrivall
,
he
expressed
all
these
Characters
of
a
miraculous
inspired
Convert
.
But
this
Mountebanke
in
fine
proved
as
a
gilded
pill
composed
of
these
two
Ingredients
,
Dishonesty
and
Dissimulation
.
The
Herodians
,
and
Pharisees
servants
came
to
Christ
with
many
fawning
insinuations
,
telling
him
that
he
was
the
plaine
truth
,
that
he
taught
the
way
of
God
truly
,
that
hee
regarded
no
mans
person
,
when
as
indeed
their
thoughts
were
otherwise
,
their
purpose
was
to
intangle
him
in
their
words
,
that
they
might
catch
advantage
against
him
,
&
so
cut
his
throat
.
This
aforesaid
Dalmatian
Bishop
came
into
our
kingdome
with
infinite
protestations
of
sincere
dealing
,
confessing
that
our
Religion
was
the
Truth
and
none
other
;
professing
that
our
Church
of
England
was
the
most
Orthodox
and
true
Church
in
the
world
.
But
(
saith
Salomon
)
as
if
thou
wouldest
adorne
an
earthen
vessell
with
drossie
silver
,
Pro
.
26.23
.
so
were
his
swelling
lips
joyned
with
a
most
wicked
heart
.
To
bee
the
better
welcome
into
our
kingdome
,
he
bedecked
himselfe
with
the
partie-coloured
feathers
of
all
other
Moderne
Religions
:
yet
before
his
departure
,
some
worthy
and
learned
men
of
our
Church
well
observing
his
pidecoat
,
having
pluckt
him
like
Aesops
Crow
,
shewed
him
to
be
naked
without
any
Religion
at
all
;
apt
enough
,
upon
occasion
,
to
be
circumcised
and
deny
Christ
Iesus
.
Yet
I
wi●l
not
here
passe
by
certaine
Dispositions
of
his
,
which
hee
saith
prepared
his
minde
to
the
change
of
his
former
Religion
,
and
to
become
a
Protestant
.
Secondly
,
the
Reasons
which
hee
laid
downe
,
moving
him
to
a
stedfast
imbracing
of
the
said
Protestant
Religion
.
CHAP.
II
.
Certaine
dispositions
that
prepared
the
Arch-bishop
of
Spalato
his
minde
,
and
strong
reasons
that
moved
him
(
as
he
protested
upon
his
comming
over
into
England
)
to
become
a
Protestant
.
FOr
the
better
unmasking
of
this
egregious
Hypocrite
,
and
(
as
he
after
proved
)
impious
Apostate
,
I
will
not
omit
those
particulars
,
which
he
set
downe
with
his
owne
hand
,
as
occasioning
his
comming
into
this
kingdome
,
and
his
change
of
Religion
.
Somewhat
a
farre
off
(
as
he
said
)
disposed
his
minde
:
As
first
,
that
from
a
Boy
,
hee
was
much
troubled
with
a
vehement
suspition
that
the
Roman
doctrine
was
not
true
,
which
suspition
he
ever
resisted
.
Secondly
,
this
suspition
was
much
increased
in
him
,
because
hee
saw
that
neither
Students
were
permitted
to
reade
such
Writers
,
as
were
contrarie
to
the
doctrine
of
Rome
(
being
inforced
to
beleeve
,
that
the
opinions
of
those
Writers
were
truly
delivered
unto
them
by
their
masters
)
nor
such
as
had
heard
their
Divinitie
,
and
were
preferred
to
Ecclesiasticall
dignitie
,
could
be
allowed
to
reade
any
such
Authors
.
Thirdly
,
he
saith
,
that
from
the
first
yeere
of
his
clergie
,
he
had
nourished
in
himselfe
an
inborne
desire
of
the
union
of
all
Christian
Churches
,
inquiring
what
might
be
the
cause
of
their
Schisme
,
which
did
excruciate
and
torment
his
minde
,
and
did
still
consume
and
waste
him
with
such
griefe
and
sorrow
as
was
wonderfull
.
Fourthly
,
that
being
made
a
Bishop
,
and
falling
to
reade
bookes
of
printed
Sermons
,
Quadragesimals
,
and
others
,
for
the
exercise
of
his
Episcopall
function
in
preaching
,
he
found
great
abuse
of
Scripture
in
them
,
Apocryphall
and
ridiculous
examples
,
Inventions
of
Avarice
and
Ambition
,
not
without
superstition
,
wherewith
the
people
were
deluded
.
Fiftly
,
that
in
reading
the
Fathers
,
he
observed
that
his
Masters
had
taught
him
many
things
against
them
,
and
that
the
Ecclesiasticall
discipline
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
did
differ
verie
much
from
the
ancient
practise
thereof
.
These
considerations
he
called
Dispositions
,
which
somewhat
prepared
his
minde
(
as
well
they
might
)
to
make
mutation
of
Religion
,
because
(
as
he
said
)
they
made
him
to
see
a
farre
off
,
all
was
not
well
with
the
Church
of
Rome
.
It
followeth
to
consider
what
(
he
said
)
moved
him
directly
to
leave
the
abomination
of
the
Romish
religion
.
He
saith
,
that
of
a
Bishop
,
being
made
an
Archbishop
,
two
accidents
fell
out
that
compelled
him
to
studie
these
matters
more
earnestly
and
eagerly
than
before
he
did
,
and
made
him
turne
over
more
than
once
or
twice
the
Fathers
,
the
Canons
,
the
Councels
,
and
ancient
Records
of
the
Catholike
Church
.
The
first
was
,
that
the
Court
of
Rome
and
his
Suffragan
Bishops
that
were
under
him
,
began
to
perturbe
his
Metropolitane
rights
.
The
second
,
that
after
the
Interdict
of
Venice
,
there
came
books
from
Rome
,
strangely
taxing
the
Bishops
of
the
Venetian
state
who
did
not
obey
.
Thirdly
,
Bishops
now
adaies
under
the
Pope
have
but
the
name
of
Bishops
,
all
their
Iurisdiction
is
taken
from
them
,
and
are
subject
not
only
to
the
Pope
,
but
also
to
Cardinals
,
Congregations
,
Legates
,
Inquisitors
,
and
innumerable
Orders
of
Religious
men
,
who
now
have
greater
faculties
than
Bishops
,
and
drowne
their
authoritie
.
Fourthly
,
the
Pope
is
now
a
temporall
Monarch
,
and
the
Church
is
become
a
Vineyard
,
to
make
him
drunke
,
and
a
flocke
to
feed
him
with
her
owne
bloud
.
Fiftly
,
his
eyes
being
opened
,
he
saw
easily
,
plainly
and
perfectly
,
that
the
Churches
whom
Rome
had
made
her
enemies
,
did
differ
little
or
nothing
from
the
pure
doctrine
of
the
ancient
Church
.
Sixtly
,
in
Rome
are
coined
every
day
innumerable
Articles
of
faith
,
without
any
foundation
,
with
extreme
violence
.
Seventhly
,
Rome
hath
puld
out
the
eyes
of
the
Church
of
Christ
by
suppressing
the
sacred
Councels
.
Eightly
,
the
Catholike
Church
is
now
confined
to
be
made
the
Court
of
Rome
.
Ninthly
,
in
the
Church
of
Rome
,
nay
in
the
Pope
alone
,
the
whole
spirit
of
Christ
,
promised
to
the
Catholike
Church
,
is
beleeved
to
reside
.
Lastly
,
whatsoever
hath
beene
spoken
heretofore
in
honour
of
the
universall
Church
,
is
now
most
wrongfully
inforced
upon
the
Court
of
Rome
alone
,
whereof
it
followeth
,
that
the
soules
of
men
being
thereby
miserably
deceived
and
blinded
,
they
fall
together
with
their
blinde
guides
into
the
pit
of
perdition
.
The
aforesaid
Motives
were
forcible
enough
to
have
drawne
his
feet
out
of
the
mire
of
Babylonish
error
,
and
to
set
him
in
the
right
path
and
way
of
godlinesse
.
And
he
began
well
to
consider
thereof
:
Who
hindered
him
that
he
did
not
persevere
?
Praestat
nunquam
incepisse
quam
turpiter
in
medio
defecisse
:
It
had
beene
better
indeed
he
had
never
come
from
the
fen
of
Rome
,
than
to
have
returned
as
he
did
with
the
dog
to
his
former
vomit
,
and
with
the
Sow
to
the
wallowing
in
the
mire
.

)

than
to
remaine
in
a
land
of

.
CHAP.

Containing
the
life
and
behaviour
of
the
said
Archbishop
of
Spalato
whilest
he
remained
in
England
.
THe
Archbishop
of
Spalato
having
after
his
comming
into
England
by
the
aforesaid
pretended
dispositions
and
motives
made
verball
profession
of
his
true
Conversion
,
it
pleased
our
most
gratious
Soveraigne
,
the
incomparable
patterne
and
patron
of
piety
and
religion
,
to
advance
him
to
such
Ecclesiasticall
dignitie
in
our
Church
,
that
his
Adversaries
might
have
no
cause
to
scoffe
at
his
low
dejected
estate
,
or
himselfe
discouraged
for
want
of
competencie
to
maintaine
his
continued
Prelacie
.
Hee
had
therefore
conferred
on
him
the
Mastership
of
the
Savoy
,
the
Deanrie
of
Winsor
,
and
the
Parsonage
of
West-Ilslye
in
Barkshire
;
The
two
former
places
of
great
honour
and
credit
,
and
the
latter
of
no
lesse
benefit
.
The
worst
of
the
three
too
good
for
this
undeserving
Mountebank
;
who
hath
since
proclaimed
himselfe
unto
the
world
a
knave
in
graine
,
a
man
of
cauterized
conscience
,
prostituted
honestie
,
and
meretricious
impudencie
.
As
for
some
turpitude
of
his
(
when
he
lived
here
,
which
was
kept
a
while
very
covert
)
I
had
rather
it
should
be
buried
still
,
than
desile
my
pen
,
my selfe
,
and
the
world
with
the
discoverie
of
it
,
except
I
should
be
inforced
to
it
.
For
alas
,
the
the
judgement
of
God
hath
overtaken
him
,
and
that
which
he
feared
is
come
upon
him
.
Yet
I
will
indite
him
as
guilty
of
these
foure
:
An
arrogant
Impostor
;
an
irreligious
Sycophant
;
a
luxurious
glutton
;
a
perjurd
Apostate
.
Pride
being
linkt
with
Imposture
,
Irreligion
with
Slander
,
Lechery
with
Gluttony
,
and
Periurie
with
Apostasie
.
And
first
I
arraigne
him
for
an
arrogant
Impostor
,
guilty
of
palpable
lying
,
which
was
the
very
foame
of
his
Pride
and
Arrogancie
.
For
proofe
of
his
lying
,
I
alleage
these
particulars
.
He
became
indebted
to
us
,
upon
his
comming
over
,
ten
great
Volumes
to
be
written
by
himselfe
against
the
Romanists
;
yet
he
missed
his
time
of
payment
,
and
hath
since
proved
plaine
bankrupt
.
He
boasted
that
the
revenues
of
his
Dalmatian
Bishopricke
amounted
to
the
value
of
foure
thousand
pounds
per
annum
,
and
yet
since
have
I
conferred
with
one
that
well
knowes
the
place
and
profit
of
that
Bishopricke
,
who
affirms
that
Spalato
might
have
cut
off
from
his
account
three
thousand
&
eight
hundred
pounds
of
his
former
reckoning
.
He
reported
he
heard
with
great
delight
and
content
one
of
the
Canons
of
Windsor
preaching
before
the
Kings
Majesty
,
maintaine
,
that
there
was
no
cause
why
every
man
might
not
turne
himselfe
unto
his
Angell
keeper
,
and
say
,
Holy
Angell
keeper
pray
for
me
,
avowing
that
ridiculous
Romane
doctrine
and
practise
of
praying
unto
Saints
and
Angels
in
time
of
need
:
which
was
as
false
an
Imposture
as
this
lying
Impostor
;
who
professeth
to
have
heard
that
which
he
could
not
understand
.
The
Sermon
was
in
English
,
and
he
ignorant
of
that
language
;
as
much
unskild
in
it
as
in
Irish
or
the
Virginian
Mattoakan
tongue
,
except
carptim
&
sparsim
,
it
may
be
now
and
then
,
here
and
there
a
word
.
Lastly
,
this
idle
Lozell
would
undertake
Reconciliation
betwixt
Protestant
and
Papist
,
Rome
and
England
;
whereas
what
agreement
hath
the
Temple
of
God
with
Idols
?
what
peace
can
be
had
with
wicked
Iebusites
,
prophane
Gibeonites
,
idolatrous
Romanists
,
who
have
no
peace
with
God
?
But
these
and
many
his
like
fabulous
figments
,
which
I
could
name
,
were
nothing
else
but
the
very
froth
and
foame
of
pride
,
which
is
said
to
be
the
Tympanie
of
the
soule
:
Now
it
was
observed
by
divers
,
that
this
Monster
of
men
did
swell
,
and
was
puffed
up
no
lesse
in
heart
and
minde
,
than
he
was
in
bodie
.

may

;
yet
onely
pride
and
envie
is
in
him

affectum
:
and
so
though
this
titular
Bishop
were
guiltie
(
as
is
well
knowne
)
of
many
other
capitall
sinnes
,
yet
this
one
only
of
pride
came
so
neere
his
soule
,
that
it
stirred
up
almost
all
the
rest

But
alas
,
(
Pride
going
before

his
high
aspiring
thoughts
have
since
bred
his
ruine
;
he
being
now
miserorum
miserrimus
,
lower
than
the
lowest
,
as
I
shall
hereafter
shew
.

This
miscreant
as
he
was
guiltie
of
Pride
and
lying
,
so
likewise
of
Slander
and
Irreligion
.
Slander
is
Denigratio
alienae

,
the
smutting
of
a
mans
good
name
,
or
the
wounding
a
man
in
his
good
name
by
a
false
report
.
As
flatterie
dawbes
white
upon
blacke
,
so
slander
sprinkles
blacke
upon
white
.
This
SPALATO
was
observed
to
have
beene
of
a
very
envious
detracting
minde
.
Had
any
learned
man
of
our
kingdome
discoursed
with
him
,
and
began
to
sift
and
sound
of
what
spirit
he
was
of
(
there
being
indeed
alwaies
great
cause
of
jealousie
)
hee
would
smite
them
with
the
weapon
of
his
tongue
,
and
presently
grow
into
passion
,
and
say
,
That
such
a
one
were
obesae
naris
,
nullis
disciplinarum
ornamentis
cumulatus
,
parum
eruditus
,
with
many
the
like
keene
and
cutting
reproaches
.
Soone
after
his
comming
into
England
,
he
made
a
voyage
to
the
Vniversitie
of
Oxford
,
where
hee
was
received
with
much
honour
and
respect
;
his
conversion
gratulated
with
the
tongues
and
phrases
of
the
most
elegant
perpolite
Orators
of
that
famous
Academie
,
saluted
with
the
Stentorian
voice
and
noise
of
Doctors
;
his
great
,
greazie
,
filthie
,
foggie
paunch
cheered
with
the
daintiest
cates
the
time
could
afford
:
yet
after
this
nastie
lubber
his
departure
,
he
shamed
not
to
report
,
that
the
Vniversitie
knew
not
(
forsooth
)
how
to
entertaine
such
a
worthy
Gentleman
as
he
was
:
hee
spake
disgracefully
of
their
Act
,
unworthily
of
those
reverend
Doctors
,
who
as
farre
exceeded
him
for
learning
,
as
a
burning
Torch
outshineth
a
little
candle
,
or
the
light
of
true
fire
,
excelleth
any
false
,
foggie
,
vaporous
Ignis
fatuus
whatsoever
.
As
for
Religion
,
I
thinke
hee
had
never
any
in
him
:
For
one
that
lived
in
the
house
with
him
,
and
tooke
speciall
notice
of
his
actions
,
reported
that
he
knew
not
him
goe
privately
to
his
devotions
in
a
halfe
yeere
together
;
but
said
he
would
often
sweare
and
curse
fearefully
:
one
of
his
oathes
was
,
The
pretious
bloud
of
God
poison
me
,
as
an
Italian
,
who
was
often
in
companie
with
him
,
told
me
:
And
Let
me
never
see
Christ
Iesus
(
he
would
say
)
if
such
a
thing
be
not
true
,
when
oftentimes
it
was
most
false
and
untrue
.
And
before
his
departure
,
Pro
.
18.13
.
being
come
to
the
profoundnesse
of
iniquity
,
he
would
familiarly
speake
Blasphemie
.
Oh
impious
,
irreligious
wretch
!
How
hath
thy
mouth
abounded
with
evill
,
and
thy
tongue
contrived
fraud
?
Sitting
thou
didst
speake
against
thy
brother
,
and
didst
give
scandall
to
the
sonne
of
thy
mother
.
3.
But
I
must
here
likewise
accuse
him
,
and
that
justly
,
for
a
luxurious
Glutton
:
His
Guet
I
must
needs
say
was
a
Gulfe
,
Laert
.
in
vita
Diog
.
Charybdis
,
as
Diogenes
upon
the
like
occasion
spake
very
aptly
.
The
Babylonians
used
daily
to
sacrifice
to
their
Bell
,
he
to
his
Belly
,
making
it
his
god
,
Philip
.
3.19
.
and
his
lungs
the
Temple
,
his
paunch
the
Altar
.
Oh
brutish
Sacrificer
.
I
could
here
speake
much
of
this
Belly-god
;
that
he
would
often
drinke
usque
ad
ebrietatem
,
till
hee
were
drunken
.
So
that
I
cannot
better
compare
him
than
unto
a
furnace
,
whose
mouth
is
Gluttony
,
whose
flame
Pride
,
whose
steame
Luxurie
,
the
sparkles
filthy
words
,
the
smoake
an
evill
name
,
the
ashes
have
beene
Povertie
,
and
the
end
of
all
,
Shame
.
4.
Lastly
,
the
end
of
him
was
a
most
perjured
Apostate
.
Apostasie
is
of
three
kinds
,
Perfidiae
,
Inobedientiae
,
Irregularitatis
,
of
Misbeleefe
,
of
Disobedience
,
of
Irregularitie
.
Whether
with
Iulian
he
were
guiltie
of
the
former
I
know
not
,
but
I
must
and
may
not
without
cause
accuse
him
of
the
two
latter
.
He
read
the
Articles
of
1562.
in
West-Ilsly
Church
in
Bark-shire
,
upon
his
Induction
to
that
Benefice
,
and
in
the
presence
of
divers
witnesses
subscribed
to
them
:
Since
he
professeth
that
he
did
it
against
his
conscience
(
as
also
the
taking
of
the
oathes
of
Alleageance
and
Supremacie
)
the
more
dishonest
,
lewd
,
perjured
knave
he
.
Belike
he
thought
still
to
make
use
of
his
Iesuited
trickes
of
Equivocation
,
Collusion
,
Mentall
Reservation
,
&c.
he
having
beene
once
a
member
of
that
Societie
;
and
as
himselfe
reported
,
he
read
Mathematickes
,
Rhetorick
,
Logick
,
and
Philosophie
to
them
,
preached
often
amongst
them
,
and
did
other
domesticall
service
,
for
the
which
they
were
very
sorie
to
leave
him
.
CHAP.
IV
.
Shewing
how
this
Dalmatian
Mountebancke
,
M.
ANTHONY
,
came
to
be
fully
discovered
by
the
practise
of
the
L.
Gundamar
,
Embassadour
from
the
King
of
Spaine
.
IT
is
an
old
saying
,
Proditoris
proditor
,
one
knave
most
commonly
will
finde
out
another
;
Birds
of
a
feather
doe
not
not
alwaies
flie
together
,
but
Aegyptians
will
be
set
against
Aegyptians
;
Moechus
contra
Moechum
,
Latro
contra
latronem
,
a
theefe
against
a
theefe
,
a
destroyer
against
a
destroyer
,
a
drunkard
against
a
drunkard
,
one
Mountebanke
against
another
.
Right
so
it
fared
with
Spalato
and
Gundamar
,
they
alwaies
fought
one
against
another
,
yet
not
alwaies
after
the
same
manner
:
Sometimes
they
warred
openly
,
sometimes
covert
and
secretly
.
One
while
Gundamar
shoots
at
Spalato
with
the
great
Canon
of
Irregularitie
and
Degradation
,
saying
,
that
the
Popes
Holinesse
had
sentenced
the
Bishop
for
foure
notorious
and
capitall
Crimes
,
to
wit
,
Incest
,
Simonie
,
Drunkennesse
and
Bloud-shed
,
Grandia
quidem
peccata
.
First
,
he
accused
him
for
having
had
three
bastards
with
his
sisters
daughter
;
a
businesse
that
might
well
make
him
(
if
any
thing
)
inegular
.
Secondly
,
hee
charged
him
for
Simoniacally
attaining
to
,
and
leaving
his
two
Bishoprickes
of
Segnia
and
Spalato
.
Thirdly
,
he
vrged
against
him
,
that
the
Religious
men
in
Segnia
,
Dalmatia
,
and
the
Citie
of
Venice
,
had
all
written
unto
his
Holinesse
,
that
he
was
very
scandalous
,
in
regard
of
company
keeping
and
usuall
drunkennesse
.
Fourthly
,
he
accused
him
for
a
most
bloudie
treacherie
against
the
Isocchi
,
many
of
whom
the
Venetians
by
his
meanes
slew
.
The
whole
Information
delivered
under
the
L.
Gundamars
hand
,
translated
into
English
,
followeth
.
GVNDAMARS
Jnformation
against
SPALATO
.
AForlorne
fellow
there
is
of
late
come
into
England
,
one
MAR
.
ANTHONIVS
de
Dominis
,
who
being
adjudged
by
his
brethren
worthy
to
suffer
death
and
to
be
burnt
,
suddenly
and
secretly
fled
to
Venice
,
where
hee
was
impiously
and
unjustly
protected
.
This
said
MARC.
ANTHONIVS
was
first
one
of
the
Order
of
the
Societie
of
Iesus
,
the
most
absolute
Order
of
all
others
the
Iudgements
of
God
have
beene
many
and
wonderfull
upon
those
that
have
Wrought
themselves
out
of
their
Company
,
and
yet
this
Societie
may
fitly
becompared
unto
the
Sea
,
that
casteth
forth
the
dead
bodies
,
or
to
a
vessell
of
new
wine
,
which
purgeth
all
the
trash
and
corrupt
matter
which
is
mingled
with
it
,
and
therefore
they
easily
permit
such
as
are
not
fit
for
them
(
such
as
Mar.
Anthon
.
de
Dominis
)
to
depart
from
them
,
lest
by
staying
amongst
them
,
being
stopt
up
like
corruption
close
with
the
pure
wine
,
they
should
breake
the
vessell
wherein
they
are
inclosed
.
Marcus
Anthonius
was
not
more
willing
to
leave
them
,
then
they
of
the
Societie
of
Iesus
desirous
to
be
rid
of
him
.
For
Hee
having
vowed
Obedience
and
Povertie
,
did
notwithstanding
aspire
to
a
Bishoprick
,
and
by
Simony
he
at
length
attained
to
the
Bishoprick
of
Segnia
.
You
shall
therefore
understand
that
Segnia
is
a
little
Citie
,
but
most
impregnable
upon
the
confines
of
Germany
and
Italy
;
the
people
whereof
(
commonly
called
Isocchi
)
doe
neither
plow
nor
plant
for
their
sustenance
,
nor
card
nor
spin
for
their
clothing
,
nor
trade
with
other
Nations
by
way
of
merchandize
,
but
live
altogether
vpon
spoile
,
either
of
the
Turks
,
which
is
their
profession
,
or
else
of
Christians
,
when
they
please
to
mistake
the
one
for
the
other
.
In
which
respect
it
is
easier
to
finde
those
that
would
refuse
(
if
they
were
either
wise
or
honest
)
then
such
as
would
willingly
accept
the
Ecclesiasticall
government
of
this
Ecclesiastical
people
.
But
howsoever
Marc.
Anthonius
de
Dominis
cared
not
so
he
might
but
get
the
windie
title
of
a
Bishop
,
how
he
came
to
it
,
or
what
it
cost
him
.
Wherefore
the
Bishop
of
Segnia
being
slaine
in
some
enterprise
of
warre
,
amongst
certaine
souldiers
of
the
Emperour
,
with
whom
hee
was
in
company
,
Marcus
Anthonius
de
Dominis
,
who
was
then
a
Iesuite
in
profession
,
though
not
in
purpose
,
but
desirous
to
be
at
libertie
,
forged
letters
from
the
friends
and
kindred
of
the
late
Bishop
to
himselfe
,
as
to
their
kinsman
,
(
which
he
was
not
)
signifying
,
that
the
Bishop
was
not
slaine
,
but
taken
prisoner
,
and
intreating
him
to
come
to
Segnia
,
from
whence
he
might
worke
some
meanes
to
set
him
at
libertie
.
Vpon
the
credit
of
which
letters
,
his
Superiours
being
willing
enough
to
be
rid
of
him
,
gave
him
leave
to
goe
thither
;
where
first
hee
obtained
to
supply
the
place
of
the
late
deceased
Bishop
,
and
afterwards
by
a
great
summe
of
money
which
he
stole
from
the
Iesuits
,
he
came
to
be
made
Bishop
himselfe
.
Which
Episcopall
function
,
as
hee
got
by
Simonie
,
Forgerie
,
and
Apostasie
from
his
owne
Order
;
so
he
behaved
himselfe
accordingly
in
the
Administration
thereof
.
For
he
carried
with
him
to
Segnia
his
Sisters
daughter
,
by
whom
,
within
short
time
,
he
had
no
lesse
than
three
bastards
:
he
became
a
pot-companion
with
them
of
the
Citie
,
and
in
bowsing
and
gormandizing
was
nothing
behinde
any
of
them
.
Being
then
their
Pastour
and
spirituall
Father
,
he
defrauded
them
of
foure
or
five
hundred
crownes
,
which
he
got
from
them
,
under
pretence
of
building
a
Quire
in
their
Church
,
but
converted
the
money
to
his
owne
use
.
And
taking
occasion
to
goe
to
Venice
,
hee
wrote
backe
to
the
Isocchi
,
his
ghostly
children
,
that
he
had
made
their
peace
with
the
Venetians
,
and
that
they
might
safely
faile
in
the
Venetian
Seas
:
vpon
which
assurance
fortie
of
them
sailing
towards
Turkie
,
were
intrapped
and
slaine
by
the
Venetian
souldiers
,
at
a
certaine
Iland
,
where
they
fell
into
the
Snare
,
which
their
Reverend
Father
in
God
had
laid
for
them
.
In
recompence
of
this
his
service
to
the
Venetians
,
the
Church
of
Spalato
was
gotten
for
him
by
the
State
of
Venice
,
though
it
cost
thē
deare
in
some
respects
.
This
said
Bishoprick
was
but
poore
in
revenewes
,
worth
but
about
some
two
hundred
pounds
per
annum
,
yet
in
respect
of
the
Metropolitan
dignitie
,
was
fit
to
satisfie
his
ambition
.
This
Bishoprick
he
kept
but
a
little
while
,
till
he
Simoniacally
parted
with
it
againe
for
a
great
summe
of
money
,
to
a
kinsman
of
his
;
having
had
some
intelligence
that
His
Holinesse
the
Pope
would
proceed
against
him
for
his
lewd
life
,
and
degrade
him
,
which
accordingly
was
done
;
and
if
the
Venetians
had
not
protected
him
,
hee
had
tasted
of
the
fire
according
to
his
desert
.
This
wicked
wretch
is
since
come
into
England
,
where
hee
will
ere
long
begin
to
shew
himselfe
in
the
same
colours
as
hee
did
at
Segnia
,
Spalato
,
and
Venice
.
In
the
meane
while
he
will
serve
for
a
wonder
to
be
shewed
up
and
downe
the
streets
for
fooles
and
children
to
looke
on
.
Here
was
one
volley
of
shot
discharged
against
Spalato
in
this
Information
of
the
L.
Gundamar
.
With
many
other
horrid
and
horrible
enormities
did
the
L.
Gundamar
,
openly
in
every
place
where
he
came
,
charge
the
new-arrived
,
much
admired
Spalato
.
Yet
all
this
was
supposed
to
be
nothing
else
but
Iniquorum
individua
comes
calumnia
,
the
idle
ejaculations
of
Envie
and
detraction
;
and
therefore
Gundamars
word
proved
hitherto
no
Slander
,
though
hee
laid
on
load
boldly
:
but
〈◇〉
was
beleeved
that
only
the
relinquishment
of
Romish
Idolatrous
impietie
had
gained
the
Dalmatian
Bishop
all
these
Reproaches
.
But
as
he
that
layeth
siege
to
a
Citie
,
when
he
findeth
that
one
stratagem
will
not
availe
his
Invasion
,
presently
deviseth
another
,
or
perceiving
that
open
hostilitie
will
purchase
him
nothing
presently
,
practiseth
secret
suffocation
.
So
fared
it
with
L.
Gundamar
(
a
shrewd
Machiavillian
)
when
one
assault
could
not
a
vaile
him
,
he
presently
putteth
in
practise
another
:
when
Martiall
belligerating
thundring
Invectives
served
not
the
turne
,
forth
with
hee
falles
to
secret
undermining
,
and
then
acted
his
part
,
displayed
his
colours
in
manner
following
.
Pope
Clement
the
eight
(
who
Excommunicated
Spalato
)
being
dead
,
Simonaically
succeeded
him
Paul
the
fifth
,
who
in
former
times
had
beene
of
Spalato's
familiar
acquaintance
,
and
from
whom
he
might
hope
for
extraordinarie
favour
and
preferment
if
he
should
returne
to
Rome
.
Gundamar
full
of
diabolicall
craft
and
policie
,
thought
he
might
best
worke
upon
this
advantage
,
saying
to
himselfe
,
(
as
did
sometimes
another
his
Satanicall
brother
)
Plus
lingua
quam
gladius
,
my
tongue
shall
at
length
conquer
,
where
my
sword
could
not
;
and
so
comes
to
Spalato
,
and
telles
him
,
that
though
some
unkindnesse
had
passed
betweene
them
,
yet
at
length
hee
would
be
his
friend
,
and
was
sorie
,
considering
his
Learning
and
uncomparable
deserving
hee
should
live
here
in
England
,
where
bee
assured
him
hee
was
much
maligned
,
and
used
but
as
a
Stale
,
hereafter
to
publish
store
of
books
in
his
name
.
He
said
hee
would
undertake
hee
should
be
made
a
Cardinall
upon
his
returne
into
his
owne
Countrey
,
where
many
his
friends
bemoaned
him
,
and
Paul
,
the
then
Pope
,
would
thinke
it
a
great
happinesse
to
see
him
.
For
saith
hee
)
I
can
shew
you
a
letter
lately
come
to
my
hands
from
his
Holinesse
,
who
writes
unto
mee
,
desiring
to
be
certified
what
is
become
of
you
,
and
if
I
speake
with
you
,
to
signifie
how
much
he
desires
your
Good
,
and
that
hee
will
exceedingly
further
your
preferment
,
if
you
shal
come
unto
him
;
and
for
Gundamar
drawes
out
of
his
pocket
the
pre●e●ded
Letter
sent
him
from
the
Pope
,
and
bids
him
reade
it
;
which
containing
many
sugred
promises
of
preferment
,
if
Spalato
should
come
to
him
to
Rome
:
the
Sun-shine
thereof
presently
dazeled
his
eies
,
and
the
titular
Dalmatian
Bishop
,
who
before
like
another
Leviathan
would
drinke
up
Iordan
,
and
overthrow
the
Popes
Supremacie
,
now
presently
promiseth
to
joine
forces
with
him
:
and
told
the
L.
Gundamar
that
if
he
meant
well
toward
him
,
he
would
returne
ho
me
to
Rome
.
Gundamar
all
this
while
,
like
a
craftie
Hiaena
,
though
he
spake
like
a
friend
,
devoured
like
a
soe
,
and
like
Ioab
the
Captaine
of
the
Hoast
,
though
he
spake
kindly
to
Amasa
,
and
kissed
him
,
yet
presently
stabbed
him
;
like
the
Harpie
,
though
he
carried
a
faire
Virgin
face
,
yet
he
had
Vultures
tallons
.
His
plot
was
to
bring
him
in
disgrace
here
in
England
,
and
then
to
pack
him
over
to
Rome
in
a
cloake-bag
,
where
hee
might
live
neere
the
fresh
aire
of
the
Inquisition
.
So
that
here
was
a
dangerous
Rocke
hid
under
a
calme
sea
,
the
Syrens
song
became
the
Sailours
wreck
,
the
Fowlers
whistle
was
the
birds
death
,
a
hidden
bait
was
the
great
Dalmatian
fish
his
bane
.
Gundamar
,
that
he
might
yet
better
unmaske
this
titular
Bishop
(
who
had
all
this
while
stalked
up
and
downe
in
our
Kingdome
,
with
the
visard
of
Hypocrisie
on
his
face
)
caused
him
to
write
a
letter
to
the
Pope
intimating
his
resolution
to
leave
England
,
and
come
to
Rome
,
which
accordingly
Spalato
did
;
and
no
sooner
had
hee
delivered
his
letter
to
Gundamar
,
to
be
sent
to
Rome
,
but
Gundamar
shewed
the
same
to
such
of
our
kingdome
as
he
thought
fit
the
same
should
be
discovered
unto
.
Thus
it
happened
Episcopo
tepido
,
to
this
luke-warme
Bishop
;
and
thus
,
(
as
I
told
you
before
)
Proditoris

Shewing
how
that
SPALATO
being
discovered
,
he
desired
leave
of
his
Majestie
to
returne
into
Italy
,
upon
pretence
to
reforme
and
reunite
the

.
THe
titular
Dalmatian
Bishop
,
M.
ANTONIVS
de
Dominis
,
after
his
abode
in
England
some
three
or
foure
yeeres
,
though
much
suspected
,
was
not
yet
fully
detected
,
till
by
his
aforesaid
friend
,
the
L.
Gundamar
,
who
warily
laying
his
bait
,
soone
caught
and
intangled
him
like
a
Salmon
in
a
net
,
which
he
would
have
broken
thorow
,
but
wanted
might
and
sleight
.
Perceiving
at
length
how
hee
was
circumvented
,
he
went
unto
his
Majestie
,
desiring
leave
to
returne
unto
his
owne
country
,
assuring
him
hee
was
the
same
in
minde
,
opinion
,
and
judgement
,
as
he
professed
himselfe
to
be
at
his
first
arrivall
in
England
.
His
Majestie
,
prudenti
pectore
&
rerum
usu
longê
maximus
,
being
assuredly
most
wise
,
and
knowing
how
to
carry
himselfe
in
this
businesse
,
without
any
Italian
or
Spanish
complement
of
inviting
him
to
an
Inquisition
,
gave
him
leave
,
so
soone
as
he
pleased
,
to
be
gone
;
and
finding
his
levitie
,
was
willing
to
be
quit
and
freed
of
him
;
yet
asked
him
what
occasioned
his
so
sudden
desire
of
departure
,
and
how
he
durst
(
if
not
altered
in
opinion
)
trust
unreconcileable
Rome
,
(
his
Majestie
in
truth
plainly
perceiving
what
would
be
the
end
of
him
.
)
SPALATO
his
answer
was
thus
,
That
no
unbridled
affection
,
no
temporall
necessitie
,
no
strange
event
,
nor
grievous
mischance
did
compell
him
to
depart
,
but
for
that
the
then
Pope
was
his
former
acquaintance
&
friend
,
he
feared
not
the
Ignatian
furie
,
but
would
venture
to
visit
Rome
,
or
the
Italian
adjacent
parts
;
his
project
being
sage
and
considerate
,
his
designement
of
no
ordinarie
consequent
,
but
of
this
nature
as
followeth
,
viz.
That
he
meant
to
reconcile
and
reunite
the
Christian
world
,
which
hee
was
sure
hee
could
performe
,
having
had
a
naturall
and
inborne
desire
of
Vnitie
from
his
Infancie
:
Herculeum
opus
;
sure
a
hard
taske
.
This
Spirit
of
his
being
so
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
the
Church
,
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
himselfe
,
and
in
fine
contrary
to
the
very
light
of
reason
and
humane
understanding
.
What
union
and
conjunction
can
there
be
of
the
East
and
West
,
North
and
South
?
Our
Mother
Eve
,
out
of
a
vaine
curiositie

.
conferring
with
the
Serpent
,
whom
shee
might
thinke
to
be
an
Angell
,
fell
into
Heresie
;
but
this
man
out
of
a
curiositie
more
than
monstrous
,
Ioh
.
10.3.5
.
would
perswade
the
sheepe
of
Christ
to
heare
the
voice
of
a
stranger
,
and
to
conferre
with
that
Serpent
of
Rome
,
whom
in
his
bookes
hee
said
he
knew
and
confessed
to
be
the
Deuill
:
But
it
appeareth
sufficiently
that
hee
hath
not
followed
those
rules
of
discerning
spirits
,
which
with
a
little
humility
he
might
have
learned
in
Scripture
.
For
the
Spirit
which
giveth
true
faith
,
is
the
Spirit
of
humilitie
;
which
is
testified
by
our
Saviour
,
Matth
.
18.3
.
The
spirit
of
Pride
,
is
the
spirit
of
Heresie
.
The
Fairie
which
led
away
the
Dalmatian
Bishop
,
was
the
spirit
of
Pride
,
which
made
him
undertake
that
taske
which
is
too
hard
for
him
,
or
for
any
the
wisest
man
this
day
alive
.
But
according
to
S.
Bernard
,
Multi
student
plus
alta
,
quam
aptaproferre
.
The
Wise-man
therefore
gives
this
counsell
unto
those
fooles
,
whose
curiositie
transports
their
spirits
after
needlesse
and
unprofitable
Inquisition
:
Altiora
te
ne
quaesieris
,
&
fortiora
te
ne
scruteris
.
Seeke
not
for
things
that
are
too
high
for
thee
,
nor
search
after
things
that
are
too
mightie
.
Many

according
to
that
of
S.
Paul
,

Tim
.
1.17

and
it
may
well
be
applied
to
the
Dalmatian
Bishop
)
will

of
the
Law
,
neither
understanding
what
they
say
,
nor
whereof
they
affirme

Fulbert

In
which
sense
,
true
is
that
of
Fulbertus
Carnotensis
,
that
while
they
refused
to
become
disciples
,
or

,
they
make
themselves
the
Masters
of

Shewing
what
entertainment
MARCVS
ANTONIVS
de
Dominis
,
the
nominall
Bishop
of
Spalato
found
upon
his
late
returne
to
Rome
.
SPALATO
being
on
his
journey
betweene
England
and
Italy
,
was
so
gogged
with
assured
hopes
of
what
supereminent
preferment
hee
should
have
conferred
on
him
by
his
old
acquaintance
,
the
Pope
,
upon
his
arrivall
to
Rome
,
that
lower
than
a
Cardinallship
his
aspiring
thoughts
could
not
or
would
not
descend
.
But
according
to
Aristotles
rule
,
Frustra
est
illa
potentia
quae
non
reducitur
ad
actum
,
Vaine
is
that
hope
which
endeth
in
nothing
.
Oft
over-bold
Ambition
fires
her
nest
,
And
burnes
her
wings
with
shame
,
or
ends
in
jest
.
Whilest
the
tide
of
this
Bishops
Ambition
carried
him
head-long
into
an
Ocean
of
hoped
preferment
,
hee
suddenly
became
drowned
in
a
verie
gulfe
of
distresse
.
For
as
hee
was
about
to
land
,
and
set
footing
within
the
Citie
of
Rome
,
he
was
received
into
a
close
Cell
neere
the
Church
of
S.
Laurence
without
Porta
Esquilina
:
And
there
continued
fourteene
daies
without
receiving
any
message
at
all
from
his
Holinesse
.
A
cold
welcome
it
was
;
but
this
was
done
to
ease
his
heart
after
so
tedious
a
journey
.
If
hee
had
presently
come
amongst
his
old
acquaintance
,
their
many
greetings
might
have
done
as
much
hurt
as
his
trauailes
.
After
this
he
was
sent
to
a
cloister
within
the
Church
of
S.
Sebastian
and
Fabian
,
where
there
was
appointed
to
attend
on
him
for
a
weeke
a
Confessor
,
and
he
had
certaine
Articles
delivered
him
,
which
he
was
advised
to
consider
of
,
and
to
subscribe
to
them
within
three
daies
following
.
Then
was
sent
unto
him
from
his
Holinesse
the
Bishop
of
Ancona
,
who
was
appointed
to
conferre
with
him
about
his
voyage
into
England
,
and
to
signifie
unto
the
Pope
his
sorrow
and
repentance
for
the
same
.
This
Bishop
became
his
great
friend
,
and
soone
after
got
leave
of
the
Pope
that
Spalato
himselfe
might
have
accesse
to
him
,
and
conferre
with
him
.
Spalato
being
brought
before
the
Pope
,
was
not
whispered
in
the
eare
with
another
Arch-bishoprick
or
Cardinall-ship
,
as
hee
expected
,
but
advised
by
his
Holinesse
to
make
his
peace
with
God
and
the
Church
,
and
then
he
should
finde
all
lawfull
favour
at
his
hands
.
And
so
the
Pope
commanded
him
for
a
time
to
live
a
retired
contemplative
life
in
one
of
the
Monasteries
of
Rome
,
and
there
betake
himselfe
to
some
Religious
order
.
Accordingly
,
like
a
brute
beast
or
Swine
they
shut
him
up
in
a
stye
,
and
immured
him
within
the
walles
of
a
Cloister
,
neere
the
Church
of
S.
Iohn
de
Lateran
,
and
injoyned
him
,
as
part
of
his
penance
,
to
write
a
booke
,
wherein
to
give
satisfaction
for
his
former
Apostasie
and
Revolt
from
them
.
Accordingly
he
performed
his
taske
,
and
his
spurious
Pamphlet
hath
(
I
am
sure
)
beene
seene
and
read
by
divers
in
our
Kingdome
:
wherein
,
without
all
modestie
,
he
belieth
our
Church
in
generall
,
which
he
hath
often
publikely
and
privately
commended
and
admired
;
and
like
a
very
loose
Lozell
,
he
causelessely
complaineth
of
divers
of
most
eminent
place
in
our
kingdome
.
Lastly
,
without
wit
or
judgement
,
he
bringeth
a
many
base
Invectives
bumbasted
out
with
foaming
malice
against
himselfe
:
And
hee
graspeth
together
such
an
heape
of
confused
matter
,
spun
out
and
patched
together
in
a
company
of
darke
sentences
,
that
it
will
dazle
any
mans
understanding
to
heare
or
reade
it
.
For
my
part
I
had
compassion
of
the
poore
mans
simplicitie
,
when
I
beheld
his
book
fraught
with
so
many
disadvantages
against
himselfe
,
wherein
without
further
helpe
he
hath
overthrowne
that
phantasticall
tower
of
Babel
,
which
before
he
was
a
building
:
and
no
neerer
is
he
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
from
which
he
is
fallen
by
his
revolt
from
our
Church
,
than
the
fall
of
Lucifer
could
end
in
heaven
.
Besides
the
Penance
injoined
him
,
of
writing
his
said
selfe-accusing-condemning
booke
,
hee
hath
since
endured
many
mortifying
passions
,
flagellant
diseases
which
terminated
in
a
mortall
incurable
consumption
,
he
having
(
as
is
supposed
)
of
late
breathed
his
last
in
the
Castle
of
Saint
Angelo
,
neere
the
Popes
Palace
of
S.
Peters
,
where
he
found
the
case
strangely
altered
,
in
regard
of
what
his
friend
,
the
L.
Gundamar
,
promised
him
here
in
England
.
CHAP.

Shewing
the
manner
of
the
titular
Arch-bishop
of
Spalato
his
commitment
to
the
Castle
of
S.
Angelo
within
the
precincts
of
Rome
,
and
the
reasons
of
his
said
imprisonment
.
I
Could
here
expresse
a
whole
Iliad
of
troubles
that
attended
the
Arch-bishop
of
Spalato
upon
his
comming
to
Rome
,
Mala
malis
succedentia
&
agminatim
ingruentia
,
One
evill
treading
upon
the
heeles
of
another
;
Et
dum

.
But
of
all
terribles
,
the
most
terrible
was
his
Commitment
to
the
Castle
of
S.
Angelo
,
(
a
place
somewhat
worse
than
the
Inquisition
)
of
which
it
may
be
said
in
some
sort
,
as
of
the
Lions
den
.
Multi
te
adversum
spectantes
,
nemo

:
Of
those
that
are
committed
to
this
said
Castle
,
few
or
none
ever
after
see
the
sun-shine
.
They
have
an
old
saying
in
the
Northerne
parts
of
England
,
which
is
this
,
From
Hell
,
Hull
,
and
Holifax
,
good
Lord
deliver
us
;
but
at
Rome
the
common
saying
is
,
From
the
Tower
in
Saint
Angelo
save
us
good
Lord
.
The
Romanists
speake
much
of
their
fained
dreamed
Purgatory
,
but
where
the
place
thereof
is
,
none
of
their
Purgatory
Rakers
or
Proctors
is
able
to
declare
:
But
I
beleeve
if
there
be
any
Purgatorie
any
where
,
it
is
in
the
vault
of
the
Castle
of
Saint
Angelo
,
which
hath
swallowed
up
many
a
man
,
who
shall
never
be
more
heard
of
untill
the
day
of
Doome
.
This
vault
is
reported
to
be
twelvescore
yards
in
depth
,
and
into
it
are
tumbled
many
men
alive
;
there
being
a
roome
over
it
which
hath
a
trap-doore
or
drawing
floore
:
the
person
condemned
to
be
throwne
into
this
Purgatorian
Vault
,
hath
prepared
for
him
,
in
the
roome
over
,
a
kinde
of
little
cage
or
boxe
into
which
he
is
shut
,
and
in
which
he
may
hardly
turne
him
.
Being
once
put
into
this
coope
,
hee
hath
a
Confessor
that
comes
to
him
some
halfe
dozen
times
,
and
then
when
he
little
suspects
or
dreames
of
it
,
the
forged
floore
or
trap-doore
is
let
downe
by
a
device
which
they
have
,
and
then
downe
tumbles
the
poore
prisoner
into
this
almost
on
plummettable
hole
or
gulfe
;
the
boxe
into
which
hee
was
shut
remaining
his
coffin
.
And
of
the
time
when
the
condemned
is
thus
let
fall
,
none
of
his
friends
ever
know
,
nor
once
heare
of
,
but
yet
are
assured
that
ab
eo
Purgatorio
〈◇〉
est
redemptio
,
from
that
not
fiery
,
false
and
fained
,
but
truly
reall
Purgatorie
there
is
indeed
no
redemption
;
and
therefore
I
conclude
,
istinc
ut
ab
inferno
libera
nos
Domine
,
from
hell
and
thence
good
Lord
deliver
us
.
The
Dalmatian
Bishop
hath
(
as
some
say
)
alreadie
had
his
penance
there
:
His
perswaded
assured
hopes
ended
in
a
personall
censure
,
to
sinke
in
that
bottomlesse
,
breathlesse
Vault
or
Gulfe
.
Yet
within
these
few
daies
have
I
seene
certaine
letters
from
Rome
,
wherein
was
signified
,
that
the
Archbishop
of
Spalato
hath
had
(
since
his
former
censure
)
another
sentence
pronounced
against
him
,
which
hath
beene
put
in
execution
,
viz.
to
frie
in
the
fire
,
and
to
be
burnt
flesh
and
bones
to
cinders
,
in
the
sight
of
many
thousands
of
people
.
The
reasons
of
which
condemnation
and
sufferings
of
his
,
were
these
that
follow
.
1.
Spalato
having
beene
for
the
space
of
a
yeere
shut
up
in
a
Monastery
at
Rome
,
petitioned
unto
the
present
Pope
to
have
his
enlargement
,
and
for
his
health
sake
desired
to
travell
to
Naples
.
But
the
Pope
perceiving
how
willing
hee
was
to
slip
coller
,
and
be
ranging
after
his
old
guise
and
fashion
,
by
no
meanes
would
yeeld
unto
his
said
request
,
but
became
jealous
of
him
.
Whereupon
Spalato
full
of
discontent
,
uttered
words
against
the
discipline
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
preferring
the
discipline
and
gouernment
of
the
Reformed
Churches
,
farre
before
that
of
the
Roman
Catholike
Chaire
.
This
newes
came
to
the
Holy
Father
the
Popes
eares
.
2.
Then
the
Pope
sent
unto
Spalato
,
Pater
Lodozasques
,
to
demand
of
him
when
he
would
give
satisfaction
to
the
Church
for
the
bookes
that
he
wrote
in
England
,
in
which
he
accused
his
Mother
,
the
Church
of
Rome
,
for
a
verie
Strumpet
or
Harlot
.
Spalato
replied
that
he
grew
ill
and
sickly
,
and
was
altogether
unfit
,
in
that
regard
,
to
undertake
such
an
hard
taske
,
as
to
answer
those
great
Volumes
of
his
own
,
except
the
Pope
would
give
him
leave
to
travell
to
a
better
aire
than
that
of
Rome
,
(
which
belike
was
too
neere
the
Inquisition
,
which
he
doubted
would
at
length
stiffle
him
,
except
hee
could
by
some
wile
get
further
from
it
.
)
3.
Vpon
these
passages
and
answers
of
his
,
the
Pope
&
Conclave
of
Rome
resolved
they
would
soone
sift
&
finde
out
Spalato's
meaning
,
as
concerning
the
premises
.
To
which
end
they
cunningly
plotted
and
practised
with
one
Camelo
,
a
Monke
,
who
had
beene
with
Spalato
here
in
England
.
They
so
tempered
and
wrought
with
this
said
Camelo
,
that
he
soone
betrayed
his
Master
Spalato
unto
them
,
which
he
performed
in
this
manner
.
First
,
he
discovered
unto
them
certaine
Lutheran
doctrines
,
which
Spalato
persisted
to
maintaine
.
Secondly
,
hee
got
from
Spalato
certaine
papers
of
his
,
lately
written
with
his
owne
hand
since
his
comming
from
England
,
in
which
he
seemed
,
like
a
lustie
stout
valiant
Pugill
,
by
argument
to
maintaine
his
former
Lutheran
quarrell
.
Thirdly
,
Camelo
declared
that
Spalato
had
often
plotted
an
escape
from
Rome
,
and
had
told
him
,
there
could
be
no
safetie
for
him
so
long
as
he
continued
so
neere
the
Popes
nose
.
These
businesses
thus
informed
against
Spalato
,
wrought
his
destruction
,
and
without
more
adoe
,
was
upon
the
six
and
twentieth
day
of
February
last
committed
to
the
Castle
of
Saint
Angelo
,
where
he
remained
till
the
day
that
he
was
brought
unto
the
stake
to
bee
burned
.
Where
,
if
his
last
end
were
no
better
than
his
former
course
and
trade
of
life
;
he
might
well
curse
the
wombe
that
bare
him
,
and
the
pappes
that
gave
him
sucke
.
Surely
the
infamous
shipwracke
whereinto
hee
fell
,
first
of
all
Vertue
,
which
is
the
merchandize
;
and
secondly
of
Faith
,
which
is
the
ship
of
eternall
life
;
and
lastly
of
all
good
name
and
common
honestie
(
without
the
which
this
present
life
is
far
worse
than
any
temporal
death
)
hath
made
him
a
perpetuall
and
a
most
dreadfull
example
for
all
honest
men
,
to
take
heed
how
they
dally
with
God
almightie
,
and
be
but
lukewarme
Gospellers
,
was
this
miserable
titular
Bishop
at
the
best
was
.
Againe
,
let
men
beware
of
Ambition
,
which
was
the
morsell
that
choaked
him
,
when
he
might
have
fared
otherwise
well
enough
here
in
England
.
Lastly
,
let
every
good
Christian
above
all
things
care
to
keepe
a
good
conscience
,
which
hee
neglecting
,
made
shipwracke
of
his
faith
,
and
was
therefore
given
over
by
Almightie
God
unto
impenitencie
and
hardnesse
of
heart
,
to
heape
or
store
up
wrath
to
himselfe
against
the
day
of
wrath
,
and
to
increase
the
weight
of
his
own
damnation
,
against
the
time
of
the
revelation
of
Gods
just
judgement
,
who
shall
render
unto
every
man
according
to
his
workes
.
Though
this
be
a
world
of
shadowes
,
a
theater
of
disguises
,
a
map
of
colours
,
a
shop
of
complexion
,
a
schoole
of
hypocrisie
:
yet
a
time
will
come
when
in
the
court
of
heaven
,
all
maskes
shall
be
put
off
,
save
the
veile
of
righteousnesse
,
no
sucus
shall
stay
on
,
but
the
tincture
of
Christs
bloud
,
no
habit
shall
be
in
fashion
,
but
a
robe
of
Innocencie
,
no
crafts-master
shall
get
in
,
but
a
plaine
Christian
.
And
as
for
Rome
,
whosoever
thou
art
,
having
separated
thy selfe
from
her
,
maist
yet
be
perswaded
with
Spalato
,
to
returne
unto
her
;
assure
thy selfe
that
it
is
most
true
which
Theodoricus
of
Niem
long
since
affirmed
of
her
,
that
she
is
a
cruell
Dame
,
unjust
,
impious
,
unreconcileable
,
to
be
compared
with
Nilus
,
which
bred
monsters
,
and
nourished
Crocodiles
.
