IT
came
to
passe
,
that
(
when
the
people
preassed
vpon
him
,
to
heare
the
word
of
God
)
he
stode
by
the
lake
of
Genezareth
,
and
sawe
two
shyppes
stand
by
the
lakes
side
,
but
the
fishermen
were
gone
out
of
them
,
and
were
washing
their
nettes
.
And
he
entred
into
one
of
the
shippes
(
whiche
pertained
to
Simon
)
and
prayd
him
that
hee
would
thrust
out
a
litle
from
the
land
.
And
hee
sat
down
,
and
taught
the
people
out
of
the
shippe
.
When
he
had
left
speakyng
,
hee
sayd
vnto
Simon
:
launche
out
into
the
deepe
,
and
let
slippe
your
nettes
to
make
a
draught
.
And
Simon
aunswered
and
sayd
vnto
hym
:
Maister
,
we
haue
laboured
all
night
,
&
haue
taken
nothing
.
Neuerthelesse
,
at
thy
commaundement
I
will
lose
forth
the
nette
.
And
when
they
had
so
done
,
they
inclosed
a
great
multitude
of
fishes
.
But
their
net
brake
,
and
they
beckned
to
their
felowes
(
which
were
in
the
other
shippe
)
that
they
should
come
and
helpe
them
.
And
they
came
and
filled
both
shippes
,
that
they
sonke
agayne
.
When
Simon
Peter
saw
this
,
he
fell
down
at
Iesus
knees
,
saying
:
Lord
go
from
me
,
for
I
am
a
sinnefull
man
.
For
he
was
astonyed
,
and
all
that
were
with
hym
,
at
the
draught
of
the
fishes
which
they
had
taken
,
and
so
was
also
Iames
and
Iohn
the
sonnes
of
Zebede
,
whiche
were
parteners
with
Simon
.
And
Iesus
sayd
vnto
Symon
:
Feare
not
,
from
henceforth
thou
shalt
catch
men
.
And
they
brought
the
shippes
to
land
,
and
forsoke
all
,
and
followed
him
.
IT
is
written
in
the
5.
of
Luke
:
and
read
in
the
Churche
this
day
:
It
came
to
passe
,
that
when
the
people
pressed
vpon
him
to
heare
the
worde
of
God
,
he
was
standyng
by
the
lake
of
Genezareth
.
&c.
In
the
ende
of
the
former
chapter
(
Christian
audience
)
Christ
our
Sauiour
being
ill
intreated
in
Nazareth
(
no
Prophet
is
accepted
in
his
owne
countrey
)
came
downe
to
Caphernaum
a
Citie
of
Galilee
,
&
there
taught
the
people
on
the
Sabboth
dayes
,
cast
out
deuils
,
and
cured
Simons
wiues
mother
sicke
of
a
great
feuer
,
and
when
the
sunne
was
downe
,
healed
what
soeuer
sicke
were
brought
to
hym
,
laying
his
handes
on
euery
of
them
.
Deuils
also
came
out
of
many
,
crying
and
saying
:
Thou
art
that
Christ
the
sonne
of
God
.
&c.
There
they
preassed
,
and
here
they
preasse

The

Christ
was

is
an
image
of

It

the

Sinfull

of
those

By

we
be

:
by
his

,
we
be
made

:
by
his

we
are

It
is
honest
and
comely
,
that
the
wayfaryng
man
shoulde
folow
his

:
The
creature
,
his

He

he

Therfore
it
is
good
to
folow
him
,
to
preasse
vpon
him
,
&
with
the
disseased
woman
to
touch
him
.
Consider
the
cause
why
they
preassed
vpon
him
.
The
finall
cause
why
they
preassed
vpon
him
,
was
to
heare
the
word
of
God
:
note
their
feruent
desire
to
heare
the
word
of
God
.
The
worde
of
God
:
not
the
traditions
of
men
,
not
vanities
,
as
vayne
men
of
our
dayes
preasse
to
heare
vanities
,
yea
euen
on
the
Sabboth
day
,
which
is
intolerable
.
The
Sabboth
day
ought
to
be
consecrate
to
the
seruice
of
God
.
The
true
sanctifieng
and
halowyng
of
this
day
,
consisteth
in
the
true
worshippyng
of

Aretius

sayth
:

Aretius

to

to

and
a

alas
to

)
for
the
loue
of
Gods
holy

,
as
this
company
.
And
yet
not
vnlike
but
that
some
of
them
afterward
cried
:
Tolle

By
the
word
of
God
,
I
vnderstand
here
the
word
of
the
Gospell
,
that
is
,
that
Iesus
is
the
true
Messias
,
the
sonne
of
the
woman
of
whom
it
is
sayd

Albeit
the
Sermon
of
Christ
in
the
v.
vj.
&
vij
.
Math.
is
a
true
interpretation
of
the
law
:
yet
notwithstanding
the
law
is
not
the
thyng
,
for
preachyng
whereof
Christ
was
sent
in
to
this
world
.
For
(
as
we
read
in
Esay
.
61.
1.
vers
.
)
The
spirit
of
the
Lord
is
vpon
me
,
for
the
Lord
hath
annoynted
me
,
and
sent
me
to
preach
good
tidynges
vnto
the
poore
.
Christ
came
not
as
a
law
maker
,
or
a
law
teacher
,
as
Moyses
came
before
.
Hereunto
is
added
,
that
the
word
of
the
law
doth
slea
or
kill
,
as
S.
Paule
The
law
is
a
knowledge
knowen
The
law
sheweth
sinne
:
The
Gospell
sheweth
Christ
the
Sauiour
of
the
world
,
teachyng
that
sinnes
are
forgeuen
to
all
that
beleue
in
him
,
&
that
they
are
reconciled
to
God
.
These
The
law
requireth
onely
obedience
,
and
condemneth
the
guilty
:
The
Gospell
giueth
remission
of
sinnes
,
freely
in
the
name
of
Christ
to
the
penitent
:
relieueth
and
comforteth
the
troubled
consciences
,
with
his
sweete
promises
.
The
promises
of
the
law
are
conditionall
:
The
law
proposeth
preceptes
:
the
Gospell
hath
promises
.
The
law
is
a
rule
of
good
workes
:
the
Gospell
is
a
doctrine
of
the
person
The
law
denounceth
the
wrath
of
God
,
eternall
malediction
;
death
and
damnation
to
all
men
for
sinne
:
Maledictus
vlt.
vers
.
omnis
qui
non
permanserit
in
omnibus
his

&c
:
Cursed
be
he
that
continueth
not
in
all
the
woordes
of
this
law
,
to
do
them
,
&
all
the
people
shall
say
Amen
:
The
Gospell
offereth
remission
of
sinnes
to
all
men
:
To
giue
The
law
iustifieth
none
,
saueth
none
,
deliuereth
none
from
sinne
,
but
accuseth
,
bewrayeth
sinne
,
&
condemneth
all
:
the
Gospell
of
Christ
is
the
power
of
God
to
saluation
,
to
all
that
beleue
,
offeryng
to
all
remission
of
sinnes
,
rightuousnes
,
&
eternall
life
.
To
be
short
the
law
is
to
be
terribly
thundered
to
the
wicked
,
negligent
,
and
impenitent
:
the
Gospell
is
sweetely
to
be
sounded
,
to
those
that
acknowledge
their
sinnes
and
hartily
repent
for
the
same
.
The
swéete
proclamation
of
Christ
teacheth
the
same
:
Come
vnto
me
all
ye
that
labour
sore
The
worde
of
God
,
or
doctrine
of
Christ
,
is
called
the
worde
of
God
:
that
is
,
the
doctrine
which
Christ
him selfe
reuealed
to
men
.
Whereof
the
principall
point
,
is
frée
remission
and
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
,
by
fayth
in
Christ
Iesus
.
The
efficient
cause
of
this
Gospell
is
the
whole
Godhead
:
the
eternall
Father
,
eternall
Sonne
,
and
eternall
holy
Ghost
.
The
mouyng
cause
,
is
the
excéedyng
mercy
of
God
,
and
his
passyng
loue
toward
mankynd
.
So
God
loued
The
first
instrumentall
cause
,
is
the
sonne
of
God
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
An other
instrumentall
cause
,
are
the
Prophetes
,
Apostles
,
Euangelistes
&
other
teachers
of
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
.
Therfore
the
Apostle
sayth
,
Let
men
estéeme
vs
as
the
Ministers
The
materiall
cause
,
is
Christ
with
all
his
benefites
.
The
formall
cause
,
is
the
gladsome
message
of
free
remission
of
sinnes
,
purchased
by
Christ
Iesus
.
The
finall
cause
,
is
that
mankynd
beyng
deliuered
out
of
the
handes
of
his
enemies
Death
,
Sinne
,
Hell
,
&
Sathan
,
should
serue
God
in
holynesse
and
righteousnesse
all
the
dayes
of
his
lyfe
.
He
that
is
of
God
,
heareth
Gods
word
,
he
loueth
it
,
beleueth
it
,
&
doth
it
.
These
thyngs
are
included
in
the
word
Heare
.
The
word
of
God
hath
sundry
hearers
:
Durus
est
hic
sermo
:
This
is
a
hard
saying
,
who
can
heare
it
?
Can
this
mortalitie
put
on
immortalitie
?
Can
this
corruption
put
on
incorruption
?
Can
Christ
be
God
and
man
?
Can
God
beget
a
sonne
,
as
of
late
the
deuill
of
Norwiche
deuilishlye
sayde
?
yea
worse
then
a
deuill
was
he
.
For
the
deuils
in
the
former
Chapter
acknowledged
Christ
,
crying
and
saying
:
Thou
art
Christ
the
sonne
of
God
:
but
this
deuill
denyed
Christ
.
The
word
of
God
is
preached
in
vayne
to
many
,
the
hony
is
lost
,
that
is
put
into
vessels
of
gall
:
the
fishe
is
cast
away
,
that
is
cast
into
dry
pooles
:
and
the
séede
perisheth
,
that
is
sowed
vpon
the
sand

heare
your
iudgements

How
should
a
man
make
an
excellent
Sermon
,
either
in
matter
or
forme
?
Som
would
haue
the
matter
Catholique
:
Some
Gospel
like
:
Some
would
haue
altogether
common
places
of
Scripture
decided
:
Some
would
haue
vs
procéede
stil
in
the
treatises
of
fayth
&
iustification
,
with
inuectiues
agaynst
the
Masse
,
Purgatory
,
and
satisfactions
.
Other
would
haue
vs
to
launch
into
the
déepes
of
predestination
,
originall
sinne
,
free
will
,
election
,
and
reprobation
.
Other
would
haue
vices
rebuked
:
but
they
can
not
agree
how
it
should
be
done
.
Some
would
haue
it
generally
and
coldly
:
Some
directly
and
hotely
:
Some
the
vices
of
the
Clergy
and
Magistrates
:
&
some
onely
the
vices
of
the
common
people
and
inferiours
:
all
men
,
other
mens
vices
:
but
no
man
his
owne
vices
.
These
disagrée
in
matter
very
ill
,
&
in
forme
much
worse
.
Some
would
haue
long
texts
:
some
short
textes
.
Some
would
haue
Doctours
,
Fathers
and
Councels
:
some
call
that
mans
doctrine
.
Some
would
haue
it
ordered
by
Logicke
:
some
terme
that
mans
wisedome
.
some
would
haue
it
polished
by
Rheotrique
:
some
call
that
persuasiblenesse
of
wordes
.
And
agayne
in
Rhetoricke
some
would
haue
it
holy
eloquence
,
liable
to
the
Ebrue
&
Gréeke
phrase
:
Some
would
haue
it
proper
and
fittyng
to
the
English
capacitie
.
Some
loue
study
and
learnyng
in
Sermons
:
Some
allow
onely
a
sudaine
motion
of
the
spirite
.
Some
would
haue
all
said
by
heart
:
some
would
haue
oft
recourse
made
to
the
booke
.
Some
loue
gestures
:
some
no
gestures
.
Some
loue
long
Sermons
:
some
short
Sermons
.
Some
are
coy
and
can
broke
no
Sermons
at
all
.
But
we
be
not
to
féede
mens
humours
,
but
to
folow
Christ
:
we
must
folow
Christ
into
the
shyp
,
and
the
crosse
must
be
borne
after
the
example
of
Christ
.
No
man
More
safe
and
sure
is
the
standyng
of
the
hearers
,
whiche
standyng
on
the
land
heare
the
word
of
saluation
.
The
greatest
part
of
hearers
kéepe
them selues
out
of
perill
:
for
when
any
sudaine
storme
of
persecution
ariseth
for
the
Gospell
on
the
sea
of
this
world
:
either
they
hide
them selues
:
or
els
vtterly
forsaken
the
ship
,
chaire
,
teacher
and
all
.
Such
is
the
condition
of
the
most
part
of
hearers
.
These
thyngs
are
clearely
knowne
.
I
neede
not
to
make
long
demonstration
.
Examples
remaine
fresh
in
memory
.
Touchyng
the
shyp
,
the
state
of
the
Church
militant
is
here
excellently
depainted
.
The
Church
of
Christ
is
that
shyp
where
agaynst
Sathan
bloweth
out
so
many
blastes
:
the
woman
clothed
with
the
sunne
,
whom
the
For
that
the
Romish
Catholickes
do
most
shake
the
true
Church
of
England
which
is
the
Church
of
Christ
:
I
purpose
at
this
present
to
proue
against
them
.
They
say
they
shake
not
the
ship
,
but
are
in
the
ship
as
in
the
Arke
of
Noah
:
and
that
we
Protestantes
shake
the
ship
,
and
are
out
of
the
ship
,
and
out
of
the
Arke
.
Farther
they
boldly
say
,
that
without
the
vnitie
of
their
body
,
and
their
head
the
Churche
of
Rome
,
and
their
holy
father
the
Pope
,
no
man
can
be
saued
.
I
will
clearely
proue
the
contrary
:
namely
,
that
they
shake
the
ship
,
that
they
are
out
of
the
shipp
:
and
they
are
not
the
true
Church
.
Their
body
is
a
Sinagogue
of
Sathan
:
their
holy
father
is
not
head
of
the
true
Church
:
(
happy
were
he
if
he
were
a
member
of
the
same
)
he
hath
not
the
keyes
of
heauen
,
but
rather
of
the
bottomles
pit
.
I
proue
thus
:
the
Romish
Church
heareth
not
the
voyce
of
the
shepheard
:
Therfore
the
Romish
Church
is
not
the
true
Church
.
I
wil
prosecute
this
Argument
in
treatyng
of
breakyng
the
net
.
Now
to
proue
that
they
shake
the
ship
,
&
how
.
The
Romish
Church
is
a
persecutyng
Church
,
therfore
it
shaketh
the
shyp
,
&
consequently
is
not
the
true
church
.
For
persecution
is
an
euident
token
of
Antichristes
Church
.
Cayn
persecuted
Abell
:
the
Giantes
Noah
:
the
Sodomites
:
Loth
:
Ismaell
,
Isaac
:
Esau
,
Iacob
:
the
Egyptians
,
the
Israelites
:
Pharao
,
Moses
:
Saul
,
Dauid
:
&
yet
Dauid
would
not
hurt
him
.
Of
whom
we
learne
that
Gods
Church
doth
suffer
,
rather
than
hurt
:
and
pardon
rather
then
persecute
.
The
false
Prophetes
persecuted
the
true
Prophetes
.
The
Priestes
,
Scribes
,
Byshops
,
Annas
,
Herod
,
Pilate
,
and
Caiphas
,
persecuted
Christ
.
The
Iewes

Turkes
,
persecute
the
Christians
:
And
most
of
all
the
tyran
of
Rome
,
persecuteth
Christes

.
The
Church
of
Christ
did
neuer
persecute
,
but
was
alwayes
persecuted

(

)
Meletius
Byshop
of
Thebais
in

Peter
Byshop
of

,
and
diuers
other
godly
men
were
put
in

in

the

Citie

Of
whom
,
some
suffered

:
and
some

:
They
that

whether
they
that

reuolted
through
the
violent
persecution
should
be
receiued
agayne

,
or
no.
The

of

in

Epiphanius

beyng
moued
with
pitie
more
than
with
zeale
and

:
sayd
he
would
refuse
none
immediatly
vpon
their
repentaunce
.
Meletius
moued
with

,
affirmed
that
he
would
receiue
none
,
except
they
shewed
the
fruites
of
true
repentaunce
,
by
long
triall
and
proofe

.
Epiphanius
sayth
farther
:
Contigit

,
&
decessit

ille
:
It
fell
out
that
Peter
suffered
Martyrdome
and
died
a
blessed
man
:
and
they
that
held
with
Peter
were
called
the
Catholicke
Church
:
they
that
dyd

Meletius
were
called

the

:
which
were

Amâsis
a

kyng
of

made

that

euery

that

had

Areopagites
.
The

law
Solon
borowed
from
the
Egyptians
,
&
made
for
the
Athenians
.
I
would
the
same
law
were
made
in
England
.
It
was
prouided
by
the
law
of
Oraco
,
that
he
that
was
found
an
idle
person
should
lose
his
head
.
The
Gymnosophistes
wise
men
of
India
,
had
idlenes
in
so
great
detestation
,
that
when
meat
was
set
on
their
tables
,
they
vsed
to
demaund
of
their
young
men
and
maydens
what
they
had
learned
or
done
,
since
sunne
rising
:
and
if
any
were
found
to
haue
bene
idle
,
they
lost
their
dyner
.
These
wise
men
hated
extremely
all
slouthfull
persons
:
And
all
such
(
for
that
they
had
done
no
good
in
this
lyfe
)
as
though
they
had
neuer
liued
,
they
buried
among
beastes
.
Notable
was
the
custome
among
the
old
Indians
:
for
their
maner
was
euery
night
before
supper
,
to
examine
euery
man
how
hee
had
bestowed
that
day
:
and
if
any
could
not
proue
that
hee
had
bene
about
some
good
exercises
,
their
vse
was
to
expell
him
out
of
their
company
.
Whiche
they
did
by
the
example
of
Bées
,
which
can
abide
no
dranes
,
but
as
soone
as
any
begynneth
to
be
idle
,
they
fall
vpon
him
and
kill
him
.
But
we
suffer
dranes
in
euery
vocation
,
most
of
all
in
the
holy
ministery
.
Then
euery
man
must
labour
:
Euery
man
must
launch
.
Whether
?
into
the
déepe
:
what
to
do
?
to
make
a
draught
:
not
to
deceiue
men
,
not
to
séeke
temporall
profite
,
but
to
edifie
,
to
séeke
the
profit
of
the
church
,
and
glory
of
God
.
It
foloweth
in
the
text
:
and
Simon
aunswered
and
sayd
vnto
him
,
Maister
we
haue
laboured
all
night
,
and
haue
taken
nothyng
:
neuerthelesse
at
thy
commaundement
I
will
cast
forth

net
.
We
haue
laboured
all
night
,
and
haue
not
taken
so
much
as
one
fishe
.
Note
here
the
complaint
of
Peter
,
which
is
the
complaint
of
many
men
and
there
with
all
note
these
wordes
:
at
thy
commaundement
I
will
cast
forth
the
net
:
and
last
of
all
the
successe
:
that
when
they
had
this
done
,
they
enclosed
a
great
multitude
of
fishes
.
&c.
we
haue
fished
all
night
and
haue
taken
nothyng
.
Many
fish
in
the
night
:
such
fish
without
the
commaundement
of
God
,
without
the
presence
of
God
,
without
prayer
,
&
estéeme
more
their
fishyng
then
the
word
of
God
:
therfore
their
fishyng
is
vnlucky
:
many
by
inspirations
of
Sathan
are
moued
and
stirred
to
euill
artes
:
to
theft
,
murther
,
vsurie
and
other
horrible
vices
,
these
labour
in
the
night
.
Many
preach
,
no
man
amendeth
:
no
man
commeth
out
of
the
denne
of
sinne
,
into
the
light
of
faith
.
What
is
the
cause
?
men
labour
in
the
night
.
Peter
and
his
partners
laboured
all
night
,
and
tooke
nothyng
:
Many
with
their
partners
labour
all
night
,
and
take
nothyng
.
What
is
the
cause
?
they
labour
in
the
night
:
They
haue
not
yet
receiued
Christ
into
their
shyp
:
they
haue
not
the
word
of
Christ
to
cast
forth
the
net
.
Doctour
Luther
notabely
sayth
:
Quod
passim
premantur
tanta
miseria
homines
,
sola
incredulitas
in
causa
est
:
Onely
infidelitie
or
vnbelief
is
the
cause
that
men
are
afflicted
with
so
great
miserie
.
At
thy
commaundement
I
will
cast
forth
the
net
.
We
learne
here
an
example
of
faithfull
obedience
in
Peter
,
who
was
prompt
,
&
ready
to
obey
the
commaundement
of
Christ
,
whom
he
knew
not
yet
to
be
the
sonne
of
God
.
We
know
him
to
be
the
sonne
of
God
,
yet
we
shew
no
such
faythfull
obedience
:
how
then
shal
we
excuse
our
selues
?
Simon
declareth
him selfe
accordyng
to
his
name
.
For
Simon
by
interpretation
is
hearing
or
obeyng
.
Obedience
is
an
excellent
vertue
.
Obedience
is
better
then
sacrifice
.
Noah
Whosoeuer
therefore
purposeth
to
haue
good
successe
in
his
affaires
,
must
of
necessitie
launche
out
with
Simon
into
the
déepe
,
and
that
in
the
name
of
Christ
:
he
must
become
Simon
,
a
hearer
,
and
a
Disciple
:
Of
necessitie
he
must
heare
,
read
,
learne
,
&
meditate
the
word
of
God
,
according
to
the
commaundement
:
first
séeke
the
Many
obiect
why
the
indeuours
of
godly
men
often
tymes
haue
ill
successe
,
and
the
indeuours
of
the
wicked
haue
good
successe
.
God
hath
appointed
this
ordinaunce
,
that
all
thynges
to
the
godly
should
prosper
and
come
to
good
effect
,
and
to
the
euill
should
decay
&
come
to
euill
effect
.
But
Sathan
troubleth
this
ordinaunce
,
as
it
is
sayd
:
The
Serpent
shall
byte
his
héele
:
that
is
Sathan
shall
afflict
Christ
,
This
is
the
condition
and
state
of
men
in
this
world
.
Generally
good
men
lyue
in
aduersitie
,
and
wicked
men
in
prosperitie
.
I
say
generally
.
For
it
commeth
sometymes
to
passe
,
that
good
men
lyue
in
prosperitie
and
wicked
men
in
aduersitie
.
But
this
seldome
falleth
out
,
and
among
a
hundred
good
men
,
scarse
one
or
two
lyue
prosperously
in
this
world
.
The
generall
sentence
therfore
standeth
firme
and
infallible
:
good
men
are
plagued
with
aduersitie
:
euill
men
florishe
in
prosperitie
:
accordyng
to
the
Prouerbe
:
Quo
peior
,
eo
fortunatior
:
the
worser
man
the
better
lucke
.
Christ
playnly
And
when
they
had
this
done
they
inclosed
a
great
multitude
of
fishes
,
and
their
net
brake
.
Here
we
learne
the
cause
of
prosperous
suceesse
,
and
blessing
of
the
Lord
which
is
:
if
at
his
commaundement
we
cast
downe
our
nettes
.
Here
Christ
by
a
wonderfull
miracle
proueth
his
Godhead
.
The
circumstaunces
declare
the
miracle
to
be
wonderfull
:
the
labour
of
all
the
night
lost
:
the
breaking
of
the
net
:
the
sinkyng
of
the
shyp
:
the
callyng
of
partners
out
of
the
other
shyp
:
the
astomeng
and
great
admiration
of
Peter
and
others
,
the
sudaine
forsakyng
of
all
their
goodes
,
&
obedience
shewed
to
the
word
of
Christ
.
The
like
miracle
we
haue
in
Iohn
.
21.
The
vse
of
this
wonderfull
miracle
is
:
that
Christ
is
that
Messias
,
that
lambe
of
God
that
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
:
That
Christ
not
onely
is
Lord
of
the
land
:
but
also
of
the
sea
,
and
all
that
therein
is
.
In
an
other
place
touching
What
signifieth
the
breaking
of
the
net
:
who
breake
the
nette
:
how
the
nette
is
broken
:
why
the
nette
is
broken
:
these
thinges
are
to
be
obserued
.
Touching
the
first
:
The
kingdome
of
heauen
is
lyke
to
a
net
,
which
They
breake
the
nette
which
fishe
in
the
night
,
wanting
the
light
of
holye
scripture
,
and
blinded
with
the
darcknes
of
errours
,
and
ignoraunce
.
Euil
men
which
breake
the
vnitie
of
of
the
Church
,
and
fall
into
sectes
&
schismes
,
doe
also
breake
the
nette
,
which
obey
not
,
but
contemne
the
calling
of
God
.
These
are
euill
fishes
which
are
not
taken
:
or
els
breake
the
nette
:
that
is
:
they
fall
from
grace
,
from
fayth
,
and
lose
the
spirite
of
God
.
All
that
were
conuerted
stode
not
in
the
nette
of
fayth
and
vertue
:
for
many
went
forth
and
mightely
brake
the
nette
,
peruerting
fayth
,
vertues
,
and
Sacraments
.
Such
fishes
belong
to
the
kitchen
of
Sathan
.
Arrius
went
forth
:
brake
the
nette
,
&
began
a
most
pestilent
schisme
,
because
he
could
not
obtayne
the
Bishoprick
of
Alexandria
.
Whose
steps
many
doe
follow
.
Sabellius
continued
not
in
the
nette
,
but
went
forth
and
brake
the
nette
.
So
did
Fotinus
,
Manicheus
and
other
innumerable
.
Of
such
S.
Io.
speaketh
,
Haeretici
omnia
habent
in
similitudine
:
Heretiques
haue
all
thynges
in
resemblance
or
likenesse
.
This
familie
is
not
a
familie
of
true
loue
.
It
is
a
familie
of
blasphemy
:
a
familie
of
falshode
:
a
familie
of
pride
:
a
familie
of
idolatrie
:
a
familie
of
ignoraunce
and
follie
:
a
familie
of
mallice
:
&
to
be
short
a
familie
of
all
vice
and
vilanie
.
That
this
is
true
their
fruites
declare
.
The
trée
is
knowne
by
the
fruite
.
For
proofe
I
refer
you
to
the
bookes
,
or
rather
bables
of
H.
N.
whom
they
name
the
true
Prophet
of
GOD
,
where
as
he
is
a
false
and
lying
Prophet
.
I
promised
to
prosecute
the
Argument
that
the
Romish
Catholickes
are
not
the
true
Church
:
as
I
haue
already
proued
that
they
shake
the
shyp
of
Christ
:
so
I
infer
they
break
the
net
of
the
gospell
.
I
argue
thus
:
they
commit
Idolatrye
:
Therefore
they
breake
the
net
.
After
that
the
popish
priest
hath
spoken
these
v.
wordes
:
Hoc
est
enim
corpus
meum
:
Which
is
one
word
more
than
euer
Christ
left
,
and
is
of
so
great
vertue
(
as
they
say
)
that
without
that
word
there
can
be
no
perfect
consecration
:
where
as
notwithstandyng
,
Christ
,
his
Apostles
,
the
Primitiue
Church
,
and
the
Gréekes
,
neuer
vsed
this
word
Enim
.
It
is
a
superstitious
addition
of
the
Papistes
,
most
wickedly
leauyng
out
these
most
necessary
wordes
that
Christ
hymselfe
spake
:
namely
,
Which
is
betrayed
for
you
:
Do
this
in
remembraunce
of
me
.
)
After
the
the
priest
I
say
hath
spoken
the
former
wordes
:
&
hath
blasted
,
breathed
,
and
blowed
,
vpon
the
bread
:
he
knéeleth
downe
to
it
and
worshyppeth
it
,
saying
in
Latin
:
Agnus
Dei
qui
tollis
.
&c.
O
Lambe
of
God
that
takest
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
.
Thrise
doth
he
call
the
bread
which
he
holdeth
in
his
handes
the
lambe
of
God
,
which
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
This
is
abhominable
Idolatry
.
The
authour
of
this
Idolatrous
leuation
or
liftyng
vp
of
the
bread
aboue
the
priests
head
,
was
Pope
Honorius
the
third
,
about
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1210.
He
commaunded
that
the
host
should
be
lifted
vp
aboue
the
priestes
head
at
Masse
,
and
that
all
the
people
should
fall
downe
and
worship
it
.
Antichrist
sheweth
him selfe
.
Here
all
men
may
sée
how
auncient
a
thyng
their
holy
sackeryng
is
,
which
is
counted
the
best
and
chiefest
part
of
their
Masse
:
whereas
in
déede
it
is
the
most
wicked
and
abhominable
part
of
the
patched
paltrye
,
of
their
maskyng
Masse
.
The
lying
Papistes
therfore
may
be
ashamed
to
bragge
that
their
deuilishe
Masse
came
from
the
Apostles
:
seing
that
it
is
proued
to
be
a
new
and
late
inuention
of
Antichrist
.
The
worde
Masse
is
not
in
the
Byble
.
And
(
as
hath
bin
sufficiently
proued
)
there
was
no
tidinges
of
any
Masse
priuate
in
any
doctour
or
Councell
by
the
space
of
six
hundred
yeares
after
Christ
.
Their
oblation
,
they
call
Sacrificium
nouum
:
A
new
sacrifice
.
Their
Masse
booke
hath
these
wordes
:
Acceptum
sit
omnipotenti
Deo
hoc
sacrificium
nouum
:
O
that
this
new
sacrifice
might
be
thankfully
taken
of
almightye
God
.
They
may
truely
call
it
a
new
sacrifice
:
for
it
was
neuer
heard
of
before
,
that
a
wafer
cake
and
a
sponeful
of
wine
mingled
with
water
,
should
be
an
oblation
and
sacrifice
for
the
saluation
of
the
liuing
,
and
for
the
rest
and
quietnes
of
all
the
faythfull
that
are
dead
.
I
know
they
will
say
they
commit
not
idolatre
:
for
that
which
they
hold
vp
is
the
verye
naturall
bodye
of
Christ
,
God
and
man
.
Therfore
may
they
iustlye
worship
it
.
I
aske
them
how
they
proue
it
to
be
the
verie
body
of
Christ
.
They
answere
by
the
vertue
of
these
wordes
:
Hoc
est
enim
corpus
meum
:
a
goodly
profe
.
I
reply
,
Christ
spake
these
wordes
of
the
bread
as
the
holy
scriptures
,
and
all
auncient
writers
doe
witnes
.
It
is
agaynst
the
veritye
of
a
naturall
bodye
to
be
in
moe
places
then
one
at
once
,
as
he
must
be
in
a
hundred
thousand
places
at
once
,
if
their
doctrine
be
true
.
The
article
of
our
faith
is
that
Christ
is
ascended
vp
into
heauen
and
sitteth
on
the
right
hand
of
God
the
father
almighty
,
and
from
thence
shall
come
&c.
Our
sauiour
Christ
tolde
his
disciples
This
doctrine
that
the
sacrament
of
the
alter
(
as
they
terme
it
)
is
the
true
,
naturall
,
reall
,
carnall
,
corporall
,
and
substantiall
bodye
of
Christ
,
is
a

Doctour

sometyme
This
deuelish
doctrine
was
neuer
receiued
in
the
Church
,
til
Pope
Leo
:
Pope
Nicholas
:
Pope
Innocent
:
Pope
Honorius
:
and
Pope
Vrban
Antichristian
prelates
thorow
their
tyranny
brought
it
in
,
and
compelled
the
Christians
with
fire
and
faggot
(
as
the
maner
of
the
tyrannicall
Papistes
is
)
to
receiue
their
abhominable
doctrine
.
It
is
not
much
more
then
fiue
hundred
yeares
,
since
their
grosse
opinion
of
the
Sacrament
began
first
to
be
attempted
,
&
was
throughly
receiued
,
and
agréed
vpon
,
about
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1215.
in
the
Councell
of
Lateran
,
which
was
holden
in
Rome
,
where
were
gathered
together
a
monstrous
swarme
of
Pharisaicall
Papistes
,
about
the
number
of
thirtene
hundred
pildpates
,
of
the
which
number
eight
hundred
were
monkes
,
channons
,
&
fryers
,
a
broode

of
the

.
Last
of

came
pope
Vrban
the
monke
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
a
thousand
two
hundred
thréescore
and
foure
,
and
he
made
vp
all
the
market
:
For
he
ordained
a
feast
called
Corpus
Christi
,
in
honour
of
the
Sacrament
:
so
that
euer
after
that
tyme
the
Sacrament
was
no
more
taken
for
a
signe
,
figure
,
and
token
of
Christes
bodye
:
but
for
Christ
himselfe
God
and
man
.
And
therefore
was
it
reuerenced
,
worshiped
,
honored
,
sensed
,
and
knéeled

as

taught

They

I
aske
the

of

,
what

Christ
gaue
:
whether

I
reason
thus

if

:
he
gaue

or
his

But
he
gaue
not

,
neither
his

Therfore
he
gaue
not

.
I
proue
thus
he
gaue
not

Therfore

Therfore
it
is
a

I
vrge
their
owne
wordes

By
and
by
after
they
haue
confessed
that

is

inuisiblely

Note
I
pray
you
,
how
fitly
these
thynges
agrée
:
how
the
one
is
subuerted
by
the
other
.
For
if
the
true

and
naturall
body
of

Lord
,
which
he
tooke
of
the

Mary
,
dead
,

so
they

assuredly
that

must
haue

&
must
be
contained
in

except
that
body

or
els

Thus
much
concernyng
the

Also
these
men
teach
that
we

This
doctrine
is
false

Therefore
they
breake

They
call

We
may
call
them
Nullifidians

I
argue
thus
:
the
righteous
man
Abraham
was
iustified
by
fayth
:
Therfore
other
are
iustified
by

Abraham
is
the
father
of

antecedent
is
proued
:

Therefore

That
thyng
onely
iustifieth

by
which
the

and
not

:
Therfore
fayth
iustifieth
and
not

The
first
reason
is
proued
by
experience
.
The
Galatians
receiued

These

I

by

obiecteth
thus
:
It

impietie
or
wickednesse
to
add
any

to

:
for
that
it
is
written
Non

Thou

not
add

I
aunswere
it
is
a
false
kind
of

,
settyng
downe
that
thyng
,
for

whiche
is

Albeit

yet

As

in

there

no

not

that

proue
out

Doctour
Fisher
sometyme
Byshop
of
Rochester
sayd
:
There
is
in
Purgatory
great
store
of
water
,
&
that
he
would
proue
by
the
Prophet
Dauid

Psal.

Albertus
sayd
:
The
Executioners
and
Ministers
of
Purgatory
be
holy
Angels
:
Syr
Thomas
Moore
said
:
out
of
doubt
they
be
no
Angels
but
very
deuils
.
So
handsomely
these
dreames
agree
together
.
It
serueth
wel
for
their
purse
&
purpose
,
and
is
the
most
profitable
monster
that
euer
was
whelped
of
the
Babylonicall
strumpet
.
They
maintaine
frée
will
:
Therfore
they
breake
the
net
.
This
word
frée
will
is
not
in
all
the
holy
Scripture
,
but
is
inuented
by
proude
men
:
which
would
set
vp
their
owne
righteousnesse
,
and
put
downe
the
righteousnesse
of
Christ
.
The
frée
will
of
man
is
in
fallyng
,
and
not
in
rising
.
Christ
onely
is
free
:
we
are
Liberati
gratia
,
but
not
Liberi
natura
:
fréed
by
grace
,
but
not
frée
by
nature
:
and
so
likewise
Iustificati
gratia
,
iustified
by
grace
,
&
not
iust
by
nature
.
S
Paule
If
any
man
will
describe
the
will
of
man
not
regenerate
:
he
may
note
it
thus
:
In
naturall
actions
he
may
doe
somewhat
,
but
not
without
the
generall
grace
of
God
:
In
morall
&
ciuill
actions
lykewise
he
may
doe
somewhat
,
but
not
without
the
speciall
grace
of
God
:
In
spirituall
matters
,
before
he
be
borne
agayne
,
and
hath
receiued
light
of
the
holy
spirite
,
he
can
doe
nothing
at
all
.
The
tyme
is
spent
,
euen
in
the
entrye
of
my
third
part
.
I
will
be
short
.
They
inuocate
creatures
,
Ergo
:
they
breake
the
net
.
We
must
direct
our
prayers
to
God
alone
our
heauenvly
father
in
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ

There

No
man
knoweth
the

but
the

,
and
he
to
whome
the
son
will
reueale
him
.
S.
Paule
sayth
:
There
is
one
God
,
and
one
mediatour
betwene
Our
father
which
art
in
heauen
.
&c.
It
is
horrible
idolatrye
to
inuocate
any
creature
,
whether
dead
or
aliue
.
They
are
not
gods
:
for
there
is
one
onely
God
who
is
to
be
inuocated
:
Therefore
creatures
ought
not
to
be
inuocated
.
Creatures
are
not
omnipotent
,
neither
knowe
they
the
hartes
of
men
:
here
is
none
excepted
neither
Mary
,
nor
Peter
,
nor
any
creature
esle
:
Therfore
they
ought
not
to
be
inuocated
,
or
prayed
vnto
.
Prayer
must
be
made
with
fayth
:
But
fayth
onely
must
be
reposed
in
God
:
Therfore
onely
God
is
to
be
prayed
vnto
.
We
haue
no
expresse
commaundement
,
or
example
in
holy
scriptures
concerning
inuocation
of
creatures
:
Therefore
it
cannot
be
done
with
fayth
and
good
conscience
.
God
himselfe
doth
expreslye
prohibite
it
,
and
the
prophets
condemne
it
.
It
is
a
manifest
marke
and
playne
note
of
Antichrist
.
To
beleue
in
other
creatures
beside
Christ
,
is
not
to
beleue
in
Christ
:
But
the
Papistes
beleue
in
other
creatures
beside
Christ
:
Ergo
they
beliue
not
in
Christ
.
The
argument
is
sure
,
and
the
conclusion
must
néedes
folow
.
I
speake
of
a
true
and
a
right
beliefe

These

If

such
wicked
and
blaspemous

:
he
would
surely

There

The

Remember
Thus
you
sée
how
the
nette
is
broken
by
corrupt
doctrine
:
The
same
is
also
broken
by
ill
maners
.
Of
the
first
you
haue
somewhat
heard
:
Now
a
word
touching
the
second
.
The
same
breakers
of
the
nette
:
the
shakers
of
the
ship
still
breake
the
nette
with
their
ill
manners
.
They
shew
intollerable
disobedience
in
refusing
to
come
to
the
Church
:
Some
of
them
maintayne
trayterous
persons
beyond
the
sea
:
and
on
this
side
the
sea
:
and
of
these
,
some
they
make
their
Bailifes
,
some
their
stewardes
:
some
their
Caters
:
some
their
Scholemaisters
:
and
some
their
seruaunts
of
chiefe
trust
to
waite
vpon
my
Lady
.
This
I
know
.
Some
they
suborne
to
vtter
their
dregges
,
by
writinges
and
other
lewd
practises
.
They
are
not
content
to
be
euill
themselues
,
but
they
indeuour
also
as
much
as
in
them
lyeth
to
make
other
partakers
of
their
euill
.
If
you
make
diligent
search
:
you
shall
finde
fat
bulles
of
Basan
of
this
company
in
Cathedrall
Churches
:
dumme
dogges
,
and
hinderers
,
as
farre
as
they
dare
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
Iesu
.
They
are
called
Pastores
a
pascendo
:
Pastors
of
féeding
:
and
féede
not
at
all
:
and
Doctores
a
docendo
:
Doctors
of
teaching
,
and
teach
not
at
all
:
as
also
Mons
a
mouendo
:
a
hill
hath
his
name
of
moouing
,
and
moueth
not
at
all
.
These
truely
are
Caterpillers
deuouring
the
swéete
fruite
of
the
land
.
They
should
be
serued
aright
if
they
were
rewarded
with
Caterpillers
.
All
these
men
thinke
that
they
can
walke
vnespied
,
as
though
they
had
Gyges
ring
vpon
their
finger
to
goe
inuisible
by
.
Non
sic
(
impij
,
)
non
sic
:
not
so
(
honest
men
,
)
not
so
.
Now
they
are
very
bold
:
They
are
in
their
ruffe
,
and
looke
for
a
day
:
God
I
trust
will
mercyfully
kéepe
vs
from
that
day
:
And
yet
I
can
not
sée
if
they
had
their
purpose
,
but
they
shoulde
féele
the
smart
of
that
day
.
They
are
weary
of
their
welfare
.
The
clemencie
of
our
most
clement
Quéene
Elizabeth
,
hath
long
tyme
bin
abused
:
Now
it
standeth
her
Maiestie
vpon
,
with
weapon
of
Iustice
to
bridle
insolencie
.
The
dissease
of
contempt
of
lawes
which
now
attacheth
so
many
,
can
by
no
meanes
be
cured
but
by
the
medicine
of
correction
.
For
all
this
we
are
not
to
iudge
and
condemne
these
men
to
the
pit
of
Hell.
Leaue
iudgement
,
and
condemnation
to
God
.
The
right
hand
of
God
is
mightful
:
he
is
able
of
stones
:
of
hard
&
Idolatrous
hearts
to
rayse
vp
children
to
Abraham
:
He
is
able
to
turne
the
great
Turke
,
&
the
Cane
of
Cathai
.
Lord
if
it
be
thy
will
enlighten
their
dimme
eyes
with
the
influence
of
thy
heauenly
grace
,
that
they
may
sée
the
truth
:
open
their
vncircumcised
eares
,
that
they
may
heare
the
truth
:
mollifie
their
hard
hearts
,
that
they
may
loue
and
embrace
the
truth
:
that
thou
mayest
be
glorified
:
thy
people
edified
:
and
Sathan
confounded
.
A
question
is
proposed
:
Why
is
the
net
broken
?
I
aunswere
:
Oportet
haereses
esse
:
There
must
be
also
heresies
among
you
that
they
whiche
are
approued
among
you
might
be
knowen
.
Many
are
called
,
fewe
are
chosen
.
In
the
true
Church
are
no
sectes
:
But
in
your
Church
are
sectes
:
Ergo
,
your
Church
is
not
the
true
Church
.
I
aunswere
:
Oportet
haereses
esse
:
There
must
be
heresies
&c.
Also
they
went
from
vs
but
they
be
not
of
vs
.
Furthermore
tares
are
among
wheat
.
Secondly
I
say
this
Argument
is
nought
.
Heretiques
are
among
the
elect
:
Sathan
among
the
children
of
God
.
Goates
among
shéepe
.
Tares
among
wheat
:
ill
fishes
among
good
:
thornes
among
lilies
:
false
brethren
,
false
Christians
among
true
Christians
:
vessels
of
dishonour
,
among
vessels
of
honour
.
Ergo
,
heretiques
are
no
heretiques
:
Sathan
is
not
Sathan
:
Goates
are
no
goates
:
tares
are
no
tares
:
and
so
of
the
rest
.
What
wise
kynde
of
reasonyng
is
this
?
Are
not
hypocrites
in
the
Church
you
know
the
man
which
was
among
the
ghestes
at
the
mariage
of
the
kynges
sonne
:
without
a
weddyng
garment
:
The
mariage
was
furnished
with
ghestes
good
and
bad
.
Take
a
Foxe
,
tye
him
vp
with
a
chayne
and
cherish
him
with
bread
&
milke
and
howsoeuer
you
can
whole
vij
.
yeares
,
&
if
the
chayne
breake
the
Foxe
will
get
away
&
runne
into
the
wood
.
A
Foxe
wil
be
a
Foxe
.
Many
false
Christians
,
two
legged
Foxes
now
tyed
with
the
chayne
of
gouernment
,
and
fed
with
the
swéetenesse
of
the
land
,
outwardly
shewe
them
selues
conformable
to
lawes
,
loyall
and
obedient
subiectes
.
Such
Prince
such
subiectes
commonly
for
the
tyme
:
But
if
the
chayne
of
gouernement
,
and
life
of
Quéene
Elizabeth
(
whose
life
God
long
continue
)
should
breake
:
vndoubtedly
these
Foxes
:
these
hipocrites
would
runne
to
Rome
.
He
that
doth
euill
,
let
him
do
euill
Albeit
Goates
féede
with
Shéepe
:
they
shall
not
stand
on
the
right
hand
with
Shéepe
.
Albeit
chaffe
is
thresshed
with
wheat
,
it
shall
not
be
caried
into
the
barne
with
wheat
.
Albeit
ill
fishes
swimme
with
good
fishes
with
in
the
net
of
our
Lord
:
they
shall
not
be
put
into
vesselles
with
good
fishes
but
cast
away
.
Let
no
man
forsake
the
wheat
of
Christ
for
darnell
sake
:
neither
the
flooer
of
Christ
for
chaffe
sake
:
neither
the
great
house
of
Christ
for
vesselles
of
dishonour
:
neither
the

neither
the
lillyes
for

:
neither
true

for

neither
the

Preasse
vpon

with
this
godly
people
to
heare
the
swéet

Beleue
it
