AN
HVMBLE
MOTION
WITH
SVBMISSION
TO
THE
Ll.
OF
THE
COVNSELL
CONCERNING
THE
NECESSITY
of
Christs
discipline
in
our
Land
.
WHO
so
calleth
to
minde
the
wofull
estate
of
this
land
,
before
the
happye
entrance
of
the
gracious
raygne
of
our
deare
Soueraigne
,
Queene
Elizabeth
,
(
whom
God
long
continue
&
preserue
,
)
in
what
sort
the
forrain
and
vsurped
power
of
the
Romish
Antichrist
,
was
injurious
to
the
common-wealth
,
and
cruell
to
the
true
members
of
Christs
church
:
and
compare
it
with
the
joyfull
liberty
and
godly
tranquillity
of
all
sortes
and
degrees
of
people
,
in
the
midst
of
so
many
most
apparant
dangers
,
most
mildlye
and
sweetly
begunne
,
and
through
so
strange
,
so
secrete
,
so
mighty
,
so
continual
,
mischeuous
and
monstrous
platformes
,
constantly
&
firmely
seated
and
established
:
he
shall
see
great
cause
that
we
Englishmen
haue
,
both
to
admire
the
wonderful
prouidence
of
our
mercifull
God
,
&
to
magnify
the
high
glory
of
his
vaspeakeable
goodnes
;
not
onelye
for
his
rich
blessings
both
heauenly
and
earthly
,
with
aboundance
of
peace
:
but
also
for
his
rare
kindnes
of
great
long
suffering
and
miraculous
deliuerance
.
Surely
we
may
be
truly
said
to
be
the
vineyard
of
the
Lord
,
Esay

and
his
pleasant
plante
set
in
the
fruitfull
hill
,
dressed
and
fensed
by
God
himself
.
And
this
hath
hee
done
this
thirtie
yeare
,
looking
we
should
haue
brought
foorth
fruit
accordingly
.
Now
I
would
to
God
that
it
were
not
true
of
vs
,
as
of
Israel
,
that
God
looked
for
judgement
&
behold
a
leaper
fore
,
for
righteousnes
but
behold
a
crying
.
Many
good
lawes
for
maintaining
of
a
quiet
and
dutifull
ciuill
life
,
are
very
wisely
&
prouidently
prouided
;
I
pray
God
it
bee
notlaide
to
our
charge
,
that
they
are
negligently
and
corruptly
executed
:
yea
,
the
aboundance
of
sutes
,
quarrels
,
complaints
appeales
,
presentments
,
indightments
and
supplications
do
argue
apparantly
the
cruelty
,
extortion
,
contention
,
deceit
,
oppression
,
murders
,
thefts
,
whordoms
,
and
manye
other
strange
villanies
wherewith
the
vnthankfull
people
of
this
land
be
guilty
.
And
how
swearing
,
lying
,
idlenes
,
drunkennes
,
excesse
of
meat
,
wantonnes
,
excesse
by
pryde
,
and
an
vnmerciful
and
cunning
gripping
of
the
poore
by
many
strange
reatches
,
&
Machiauelian
plottes
,
ar
left
almost
without
check
or
controlement
,
it
grieueth
them
who
weep
ouer
Sion
,
and
maketh
good
men
to
feare
very
much
,
seeing
that
for
these
things
God
hath
punished
many
people
and
caste
off
them
that
were
moste
neerest
and
dearest
vnto
him
,
as
it
is
written
:
Hierem
.

.

for
the
transgression
of
the
land
there
are
many
princes
thereof
.
And

the
wickednes

This
latter
we
haue
felt
in
some

whiche
mighte

What
is
then
to
be
done
?

answereth
very
wisely
:

Ease

foolish

&

prosperity
of

destroieth
them
,
Very
sober
and
wise
were
those
priests
,
Levites
,
chiefe
fathers
,
and
auncient
men
,
who
having
seene
the
first
temple
of
Salomon
,
wept
in
the
daies
of
Ezra
,
when
they
sawe
the
foundation
of
the
Temple
,
Ezra
.
3.12
.
which
was
after
the
captiuity
of
Babilon
,
notwithstanding
that
many
others
shouted
aloud
for
joy
.
And
in
the
time
of
Nehemiah
,
the
people
in
the
daye
of
their
joyfull
solemnitye
,
wept
and
mourned
,
Nehem
.
8.
&
9.
&
10.
and
with
one
consent
joyned
vnto
their
feast
,
wherein
they
covenanted
with
God
to
amend
their
liues
,
and
make
statuts
for
themselues
to
follow
his
Law
.
So
I
am
verely
perswaded
,
that
many
graue
and
prudent
Christians
haue
their
reioicing
mixed
with
griefe
,
when
the
want
of
things
yet
not
attained
vnto
,
maketh
them
to
feele
the
lesse
comfort
in
that
which
they
haue
,
and
the
feare
of
Gods
anger
for
the
abuse
of
that
which
we
possesse
,
&
for
the
refusing
of
other
more
graces
offered
,
doeth
daunt
their
courage
;
while
other
men
think
all
is
well
,
and
follow
the
pleasures
of
their
hartes
:
and
this
is
of
all
other
moste
lamentable
,
that
neither
mercye
nor
threatnings
,
corrections
nor
comforts
,
feares
nor
deliuerances
,
though
the
warnings
of
God
bee
neuer
so
apparant
,
can
yet
moue
our
hartes
to
goe
one
degree
forward
in
the
reedifiing
of
the
decaied
places
of
gods
churches
,
but
we
say
with
the
people
in
the
dayes
of
the
Prophet
Haggai
.
The
tyme
is
not
yet
come
,
Haggea
.
1.2
.
that
the
Lords
house
should
be
built
:
but
wee
marke
not
what
God
saieth
againe
:
The
reason
of
this
booke
Is
it
time
for
your selues
to
dwell
in
your
seeled
hou2es
,
&
this
house
lye
waste
:
Consider
your
owne
waies
in
your
heartes
,
you
haue
sowen
much
,
and
bring
in
little
,
&c.
you
looked
for
much
,
and
lo
it
came
to
little
:
and
when
you
brought
it
home
,
I
did
blow
vpon
it
,
and
why
saith
the
Lorde
of
hostes
?
because
of
my
house
that
is
wast
,
&c.
For
this
cause
(
Right
H.
)
I
haue
taken
in
hande
this
treatise
,
that
I
might
shew
a
way
for
the
continuance
of
our
happy
estate
,
which
I
take
to
be
,
by
establishing
the
church
government
according
to
Gods
apointment
,
by
which
al
the
former
enormities
,
and
al
other
being
taken
away
,
the
glory
of
God
may
florish
the
more
among
vs
,
the
honour
of
hir
Maiestye
more
highly
advanced
,
and
by
the
favor
of
God
our
ioyes
may
be
exalted
.
Which
work
as
an
humble
motion
,
I
do
with
all
duetifull
submission
present
vnto
your
honorable
wisdomes
,
desiring
no
further
to
be
esteemed
herein
,
than
the
deuine
wisdom
of
Gods
word
which
cannot
erre
,
&
good
reason
(
not
contrary
to
the
same
)
do
warrant
that
which
I
say
,
and
perswade
that
which
I
speake
.
The
proposition
which
I
take
in
hande
to
proue
is
this
:
The
Proposition
It
is
the
best
and
surest
policy
for
the
maintenance
of
peace
,
&
the
good
estate
of
this
land
every
way
,
to
reforme
the
disorders
of
the
church
according
to
the
holy
Scriptures
of
God
,
and
to
haue
no
other
church-government
,
than
that
which
Christ
hath
ordained
&
the
apostles
practised
.
The
reason
why
I
frame
my
proposition
after
this
order
,
to
mak
it
a
matter
of
very
good
policye
to
set
vp
discipline
in
England
according
to
gods
word
ariseth
vpon
this
:
that
I
heare
in
many
places
,
and
lately
haue
read
publikelye
set
forth
,
as
à
defense
of
L.
Bb.
that
it
is
esteemed
(
by
the
abuse
of
the
true
rules
of
policy
)
to
bee
dangerous
to
the
state
,
no
invectiue
.
full
of
many
inconveniences
,
&
not
fit
,
yea
vnpossible
for
a
maine
country
or
region
as
ours
is
.
Which
when
I
considered
to
be
in
reason
and
truth
far
otherwise
,
and
that
the
vnseated
wisedome
of
mens
frailty
and
ignorance
do
greatly
stumble
at
it
,
I
thought
it
my
duty
to
God
,
to
hit
Majesty
,
and
my
natiue
country
to
vnfold
the
secrete
meditations
and
observations
of
my
hart
:
which
as
I
submit
to
the
consideration
of
the
wiseand
godly
learned
,
so
I
referre
it
wholly
to
the
maister
of
the
house
(
which
is
a
God
of
knowledge
,
1.
Sam
.
2.3
.
by
whome
enterprises
do
come
to
passe
)
to
giue
that
succes
which
his
good
pleasure
thinketh
best
.
In
the
next
place
my
humble
desire
is
,
that
this
my
proposition
and
whole
treatise
,
be
vnderstood
,
not
as
any
invectine
against
the
present
state
,
or
that
either
I
disanulled
the
churches
of
England
to
be
the
churches
of
God
,
Churches
of
England
true
visible
churches
or
that
the
true
doctrine
of
the
gospell
were
not
preached
,
or
the
true
sacramentes
administred
,
which
ar
the
infallible
tokens
of
the
true
visible
church
:
but
that
certaine
things
of
very
good
moment
for
the
due
and
right
administration
of
the
church
&
the
holy
thinges
thereof
(
whereof
God
hath
lefte
as
straight
commandement
as
for
the
rest
)
haue
not
yet
obtained
their
due
authoritye
,
but
for
lacke
of
that
good
entertainment
which
God
looketh
for
of
his
churches
,
may
argue
a
change
and
a
smal
continuance
of
our
present
welfare
.
After
this
I
pray
that
my
meaning
may
be
knowne
touching
the
disorders
of
the
church
:
that
I
tak
them
to
be
of
two
sortes
:
namely
,
of
Ceremonies
which
ar
variable
according
to
time
,
place
,
&
occasions
,
which
come
vnder
this
generall
rule
,
Disorders
1.
Cor
.
14.
Let
all
things
be
done
honestly
and
orderly
.
Whereby
the
church
is
authorized
to
consider
and
ordaine
in
smal
matters
,
not
particularly
determined
in
the
worde
,
touching
the
tyme
&
manner
of
doing
such
or
such
a
thing
,
which
thing
is
prescribed
in
the
worde
,
that
there
be
no
confusion
or
vnseemlines
in
the
time
and
manner
of
doing
.
The
other
sort
of
disorders
whereof
I
especially
speake
&
meane
to
stande
in
,
is
a
thing
of
greater
importance
:
namely
,
where
the
church
presumeth
to
adde
,
diminish
or
take
away
any
of
those
things
which
God
hath
ordained
to
be
obserued
,
or
to
bring
in
other
of
their
owne
,
whereof
God
hath
giuen
hir
no
authoritye
by
his
word
:
as
in
the
administrations
,
giftes
,
and
works
of
the
church
:
that
where
1.
Cor
.
12.
the
administrations
are
vnder
one
Lord
,
the
giftes
of
one
spirit
,
&
the
workes
of
one
God
:
if
the
church
do
take
vpon
hir
to
make
new
administrations
,
apointing
vnto
thē
giftes
and
works
,
wherof
the
Lord
,
the
spirit
,
and
god
haue
made
no
assignment
to
hir
,
that
this
is
a
great
disorder
:
and
so
I
vnderstand
the
church
governement
or
discipline
,
not
to
be
in
small
and
trifling
ceremonies
,
(
such
as
are
howres
,
places
,
garmentes
,
seates
,
tables
,
&c.
which
yet
in
their
kindes
are
necessary
,
being
ordered
after
the
former
rule
of
comelines
and
order
:
)
but
in
the
very
swaye
and
frame
of
the

,
the

&

In
the
last
place
that
I
say
no

of
the

ought
to
be
suffered
but
that
which
Christ
hath
ordained

although

men
the

hath
beene
learnedly
and
truly
described
,
yet
because
it
is
the
thing
wherwith
only
in
all
this
treatise
I
binde
my selfe
to
medle
,
I
will
briefly
set

thereof

Euerye
thing
being
thus
constituted

ordered

is
a
well

right
gouerned
Churche
of

.
Now
in
this
government
wee
may
obserue
diuers
sorts
of
persons
,
and
their
proper

,
in

two
things

For

Nowe
these
persons
are
the
maister
of

the
houshold

And
heere
first
we
ar
very
reverently
and
wisely
,
to
acknowledge
the
maister
and
chief
gouernour
,
Christ
heade
of
his
Church
.
Gal.

who
is
Lord

this
is
the
only
sonne
of

who
by
his
wise
and
powerful
administration
,
ordereth
and
establisheth
his

and
defendeth
it
against

deliuer
vp
his
kingdome
to
his
father
in
the
day
of
glory
,
1.
Cor

15.24

and
so
the
scripture
speaketh
saying
:
Vnto

borne

&
vnto
vs
a
sonne
is
given
,
Esay

and
the

is
vpon
his
shoulder

and
hee
shall
call
his
name

counseller
,
the
mighty
God
,
the
euerlasting
father
,
the
prince
of
peace

the
increase
of
his
gouernment

peace
shal
haue
no

he
shal
sit
vpon

vpon

order
it

These
censures
are
of
two
sorts

according

the
party
which
offendeth

either
to
heale

reform

els
to

Where
admonition
will
not
serue
,
according
to
the
qualitye
of
the
offense
and
disposition
of
the
person
,
there
are
two
degrees
in
seeking
his
reformation
.
First
suspension
,
when
a
man
is
cut
off
from
some
of
the
holy
exercises
in
the
fellowship
of
Saints
.
Mat

5.23.24
.
as
namely
the
lords

,
1.
Cor

11.28

For
the
greater
offenses
and
greater
contumacy
followeth
excommnnication
,
whiche
is
a
casting
of
them
out
of
the
church
,
and
deliuering
them
to
Sathan
,
in
which
state
they
are
to
bee
holden
of

as
heathen

and
all
these
vpon
their
true
repentance
ar
to
be
forgiuen
and
comforted
of
the
churche
,
2.
Cor
.
2.6
.
The
other
censure
which
cutteth
off
is
spoken
of
in
1.
Cor
.
16.22
.
If
anye
man
loue
not
the
Lord
Iesus

let

bee

There
is
a
sinne
vnto
death

I
say
not
that
thou
shouldst
pray
for
it
:
and
Christ
saith
,
that
he
which
speaketh
against
the
holy
ghost

it
shal
not
be
forgiuen
him
,
neither
in

The
things
of
Christs
kingdome
,
not
lyke
to
the
things
of
earthly
rulers
.
These
are
then
far
distant
from
the
thinges
whiche
earthlye
princes
vse
to
rule
their
subiectes
with
:
the
one
medleth
with
the
outwarde
man

afflicteth
the
bodye

thinges
of

this
toucheth

reformeth

In
the
next
place
are
the
other
persons
to
be
considered
which
are
vnder
Christ

and
these
are

are
partly
superiors

The
subiects

officers
of

partly
inferiours

the
first
ar
such
as

In

some

for

did
moderate
the

not
by
any

for
order
to
see
al

according

the

by

&
therefore
I
take
that
no

can
stand
with
the
safty
of

They
which
oppugne
this
doctrine
do
not
simplye
denye
,
that
such
a
thing
is
taught
and
commanded
in
the
word
,
(
for
it
is
so
cleare
that
no
man
can
but
with
a
shameles
face

seared
conscience
open
his

but
they
partly
cavill
at
some
places

but
especially
affirme
,
that
it
was
not
commaunded
as
vnchangeable
,
that
it
was
of
force
when
the
civill
magistrate
was
not

but
now
it
is
determinable
according
to
the

as
being

Whome
I
defire
in

feare
of
God
to
consider
these
few
things

if
they
bring
in
such
an

,
they
muste
shewe
some
reason
out
of

For
can
any

which

hath

,

be
altered
by
man
,
without
his
authoritye
whiche
ordained
it
?
If
God
haue
set
Elders
to
bee
gouernors
in
his
church
as
1.

Man
cannot

Who

If
the
question
were
touching
the
officer
of
an
earthly
prince
,
men
would
keepe
silence
waiting

pleasure
of

then
muste

consider
this
order
of
Christ
is
not
limited
to
be
only
when
the
civill
magistrate
is
no
freind
,
and
that
the
civill
government
supplyeth
nothing
in
the
roome
of
any
thing
here
spoken
off
:
for
these
are
(
as
is
shewed
)
for
the
spiritual
and
heauenly
administration
,
&
theirs
is
carnall
and
earthly
.
And
howe
can
an
earthly
king
thruste
into
the
house
of
God
,
an
officer
,
a
gifte
,
or
a
worke
,
which
he
knoweth
not
whether
it
will
be
fitte
,
or
wil
be
accepted
as
agreing
with
the
heuenly
pattern
These

there
the
wisdome
of
the
wise
shall
perish

Esay
.
29.2.13.14
.
Thirdly
we
haue
heard
that
Christ
is
head
vnto
the
churche
in
all
things
,
and
that
princes
and
judges
should
learn
to
be
wise
,
and
kisse
the
sonne
least
he
be
angry
:
if
thē
the
churche
take
vpon
hir
to
alter
his
ordinance
,
or
a
king
doe
keepe
out
that
which
hee
commandeth
,
and
maintaineth
other
thinges
diuers
or
contrary
,
Christs
discipline
ar
they
wise
and
learned
?
do
they
kisse
the
sonne
?
may
they
not
feare
his
anger
?
If
it
appeare
by
the
gospell
,
that
all
these
officers
are
members
of
the
body
of
Christes
church
,
&
are
admistrations
vnder
one
Lorde
;
if
they
haue
giftes
by
one
spirit
,
and
operations
by
one
God
for
the
aedifiing
of
the
churche
:
who
louing
Christe
,
and
knowing
Christ
,
Christs
members
ought
not
to
be
changed
.
wil
readily
disfigure
Christs
bodye
,
by
mangling
the
members
,
changing
the
giftes
of
the
spirit
,
altering
the
works
of
God
.
Againe
,
if
all
this
be
appointed
to
endnre
for
the
worke
of
the
ministry
,
to
the
aedifiing
of
the
body
of
Christ
,
till
we
all
meete
together
in
the
vnity
of
the
faith
,
and
the
knowledge
of
the
sonne
of
God
,
vnto
a
perfect
man
,
&
vnto
the
measure
of
the
age
of
the
fulnes
of
Christ
.
Ephes
.
4.11.12
.
And
this
commandement
of
church-governement
is
to
be
kept
without
spot
,
and
vnrebukeable
vntill
the
appearing
of
our
Lord
Iefus

who
is
he
?
or
where
is
he
whose
arme
is
fleshe
,
that
will
not
tremble
to
speake
against
them
?
Last
of
al
,
it
is
against
the
duty
of
the
church
,
(
who
as
the
pure
and
chast
spouse
of
Christ
should
alwayes
be
obedient
to
hir
head
and
lord
)
to
limit
the
authority
,
Psal
.
78.41
.
and
check
the
wisedome
of
hir
king
:
ought
she
not
rather
to
hearken
&
consider
,
and
incline
hir
eare
(
being
swift
to

,
Psal

and
slow

)
forgetting
also
hir
owne
people
&
hir

house
:
so
shall
the
king
haue
pleasure
in
hir
beauty
,
for
he
is
hir
Lord
,
and
she
ought
to
reverence
him
.
Bunt
can
this
be
reverence
to
his
maiesty
,
Christs
church
ought
to
obey
him
or
taking
him
to
be
Lorde
:
when
she
submitteth
hir selfe
,
to
the
lawes
of
gouernement
which
she
hath
receaued
of
his
greatest
enimy
,
even
Antichriste
,
or
can
she
be
saide
to
forsake
hir
fathers
house
and
to
hearken
:
vnchangeable
.
who
punisheth
&
afflicteth
as
a
stepmother
those

,
that
meeklye
putteth
hir
in
minde
of
the
husbande
of
hir
youth
,
and
the
oathe
of

:
detecting
and
bewraying
the
filthinesse
of

when

hath
defiled
hir self

&

even

brickle

?
And
who
I
pray
you
can
say
(
except
hee
will
tell
a
lye
for
his
mother
,
and
that
against
God
his
father
)
that
she
doth
not
limit
his
power
and
controll
his
prudencye
,
Mat
.
28.20
.
when
hee
giveth
hir
charge
to
obserue
all
things
whatsoever
he
hath
commanded
hir
,
affirming
most
amiably
and
comfortably

2.

that

&
yet
shee
leaning

and

and

for
my
people
haue
committed
two
evils
:
they
haue
forsaken
mee
the
fountaine
of
living
waters
,
to
digge
them
pittes
,
even
broken
pittes
that
can
holde
no
water
.
In
this
last
place
,
for
clearing
of
my
proposition
,
&
that
my
reasons
for
the
policye
of
our
countrey
maye
plainly
be
seene
:
I
am
further
to
shewe
in
parte
,
what
these
disorders
be
,
smal
or
great
,
and
howe
neare
wee
come
to
the
ordinance
of
Christ
.
First
wee
holde
the
head
Christ
Iesus
and
renounce
al
other
heads
of
the
church
,
giuing
vnto
the
royall
person
of
the
Queenes
highnesse
,
the
due
and
lawfull
supremacy
ouer
al
persons
within
hir
dominions
,
and
in
all
causes
to
vse
the
sworde
of
justice
,
for
the
maintenance
of
well
doing
,
and
punishing
of
vice
:
renouncing
all
forraine
power
and
potentate
to
haue
any
interest
or
title
of
any
suche
supremacy
.
Secondly
,
we
receaue
the
scepter
of
christ
the
gospel
of
truth
,
holding
and
teaching
the
doctrine
of
faith
&
loue
according
to
the
same
:
the
Sacraments
also
as
seales
of
the
doctrine
in
their
true
nature
,
are
taught
&
administred
with
prayers
,
singing
of
psalmes
and
reading
of
holy
scripture
:
We
allow
also
pastors
in
every
church
,
and
some
teachers
:
and
by
these
ministeries
the
word
is
taught
ordinarily
in
many
churches
,
by
meanes
whereof
the
church
of
England
,
our
mother
hath
brought
forth
many
notable
children
to
God
the
father
,
and
notable
members
of
Iesus
Christ
:
Heere
one
steppeth
in
and
saith
:
Is
not
this
wel
?
you
woulde
haue
bene
glad
in
Queene
Maries
dayes
with
lesse
liberty
,
can
you
not
bee
content
?
Truth
,
this
is
well
indeed
,
and
I
pray
God
we
may
bee
thankfull
as
we
ought
to
bee
thankfull
.
Yet
as
I
take
it
,
and
they
confesse
,
all
is
not
well
.
And
if
a
man
haue
the
foundation
of
his
house
laide
,
and
many
parts
of
the
building
framed
,
he
will
not
content
himself
till
all
be
fastened
together
,
and
the
roofe
couered
.
And
shal
we
content
our selues
to
see
the
house
of
God
ful
of
breaches
,
and
vncouered
,
because
some
principall
parte
is
well
begonne
?
Let
vs
then
see
those
breaches
.
Surely
,
surely
,
I
would
your
good
Hh.
should
vnderstand
,
that
of
all
other
,
I
am
loathest
to
speake
of
those
thinges
:
neither
would
I
,
if
I
thought
the
truth
of
this
question
might
appeare
without
it
:
therefore
I
humbly
craue
your
favorable
patience
,
submitting
all
that
I
speake
(
as
before
)
to
your
Hh.
wise
considerations
,
not
willingly
doing
anye
thing
that
might
giue
juste
occasion
of
offence
.
The
imperfections
of
our
churches
are
of
two
sortes
,
either
in
matter
of
ceremonies
,
or
in
thinges
substantiall
presrcibed
of
God
.
Of
the
firste
I
will
say
onelye
this
,
that
it
is
well
knowen
,
that
some
of
our
ceremonies
,
are
part
of
the
character
of
the
beast
,
and
therefore
not
comely
for
Christs
vndefiled
spouse
:
but
if
the
other
greater
things
were
reformed
,
they
would
fall
away
of
themselues
,
lyke
vntempered
morter
,
after
a
hard
frost
.
The
other
,
ar
eyther
in
the
holy
things
,
or
holy
offices
.
The
first
holy
thing
is
the
word
,
here
some
part
of
the
holy
scripture
is
commaunded
to
be
left
vnread
,
the
Apocripha
are
appointed
to
be
read
,
and
that
vnder
the
name
of
holy
scripture
,
for
instruction
of
manners
:
and
homelies
in
steed
of
preaching
:
this
I
take
to
be
an
abuse
to
the
scepter
of
Christ
,
which
is
before
shewed
to
be
perfect
The
other
holy
things
are
the
censures
,
and
namelye
excommunication
,
which
is
made
a
ciuill
ordinaunce
committed
to
a
civill
judge
in
matters
of
heritage
,
in
a
quarrell
often
groates
,
for
not
appearing
the
partye
may
be
absolved
by
his
proctour
.
A
ministers
name
is
vsed
in
the
forme
,
but
he
hath
nothing
to
do
to
judge
or
determine
,
or
to
receaue
againe
.
And
besides
all
this
,
the
pennance
maye
bee
changed
into
money
or
some
other
thing
.
Heere
the
Elder-ship
is
despised
,
the
congregation
looseth
hir
right
,
and
earth
and
heaven
are
mingled
together
:
no
small
disfigure
vnto
Christs
church
,
if
you
remember
howe
God
woulde
haue
it
ordered
and
adorned
.
The
disorders
in
the
holy
offices
are
either
by
mingling
or
mangling
.
Mingling
is
of
two
sorts

the
reasons

more
readilye

and

more
apparantly

My
reasons
are
either
generall
or
speciall
-
Generally
I
first
consider
the
author
of
church-discipline
,
on
the
one
side
Christ
furnished
with
authority
from
God
:
on
the
other
side
,
mans
wisdome
and
Antichriste
,
aduersarye
against
GOD
,
whose
comming
is
by
the
effectuall
power
of
Sathan
:

Thes

2.4.9
.
The
first
proofe
from
the
autor
of
discipline
.
seing
that
it
is
already
shewed
,
that
God
is
the
author
of
that
we
want
,
the
consideration
of
his
person
may
teach
vs
that
his
is
beste
and
surest
for
our
estate
:
for
he
is
wonderfull
in
counsell
,
and
excellent
in
works
,
Esa
.
28.29
.
the
foolishnes
of
God
is
wiser
then
men
.
&
the
weakenes
of
God
is
stronger
then
men
,
1.
Cor
.
2.25
.
If
God
than
in
counsel
be
wisest
,
&
in
works
most
perfect
&
stable
:
Geueral
reasons
shewing
that
Christs
howe
should
not
all
state-men
thinke
that
to
reform
our
churches
after
his
counsell
,
&
to
practise
his
workes
were
safest
for
the
estate
of
our
lande
.
Look
we
vpon
man
,
Antichrist
,
&
Sathan
,
what
are
these
to
the
almighty
?
&
their
wisdom
to
his
?
Can
they
teach
a
church-government
more
certain
for
our
safety
,
than
he
?
Is
not
the
wisdome
of
this
world
foolishnes
with
God
?
1.
Cor
.
3.19
.
Doth
he
not
take
the
wise
in
their
craf
tines
,
&
make
the
coumsel
of
the
wicked
foolish
?
Iob
.
5.13
.
And
concerning
Antichrist
:
oght
we
not
to
hearken
to
him
,
who
calleth
vnto
vs
from
heaven
,
and
saith
:
Go
out
of
hir
my
people
,
Revel
.

4.
that
ye
bee
not
partakers
in
hir
sinnes
,
and
that
ye
receaue
not
of
hir
plagues
:
for
hir
sinnes
are
come
vp
vnto
heauen
,
and
God
hath
remē
bered
hir
iniquities
.
As
for
Sathan
,
his
wiles
are
but
to
deceaue
,
euen
as
he
deceaued
Euah
,
to
the
misery
of
all
mankinde
:
and
as
hee
seduced
Ahab
to
his
destruction
.
Therefore
I
think
it
best
,
and
the
surest
policy
,
to
be
ruled
by
God
.
And
this
reason
wil
be
the
more
euident
,
Our
profession
is
to
serue
God
in
al
he
teacheth
vs.
if
we
consider
our selues
:
what
we
haue
done
,
and
nowe
doe
.
We
haue
entred
into
couenant
with
God
,
by
submitting
our selues
to
the
scepter
of
his
word
,
and
taking
vpon
vs
his
sacramentes
as
badges
of
our
profession
.
Heere
peradventure
a
wise
Politian
doth
not
see
,
that
it
is
not
safe
to
serue
two
maisters
:
though
the
Lorde
saith
,
Luk
.
16.13
.
2.
Cor
.
6.15
.
You
cannot
serue
God
&
Mammon
.
And
what
concord
hath
Christ
with
Belial
.
The
next
generall
reason
is
from
the
thing
it selfe
,
I
meane
the
church-government
which
is
of
Gods
commandement
:
first
,
The
second
general
reason
from
the
thing
if
wee
consider
that
the
same
being
Christs
,
and
we
christians
,
what
can
be
better
for
vs
?
the
same
is
from
heauen
,
heauenly
,
and
spirituall
:
and
we
professe
the
Lord
from
heauen
,
Discip
.
is
for
our
safety
.
what
then
can
bee
safer
for
vs
?
What
do
we
(
fuppose
you
)
if
wee
judge
any
thing
vnfit
for
vs
,
when
he
saieth
:
Pro
.
3.8
.
All
the
wordes
of
my
mouth
are
righteous
,
there
is
no
lewdnesse
nor
frowardnes
in
them
,
If
the
commandement
of
God
by
Moses
the
servant
was
such
,
that
no
nation
was
comparable
to
Gods
people
,
because
no
nation
had
lawes
and
ordinances
so
righteous
,
as
all
that
law
which
hee
set
before
them
:
and
if
those
lawes
shoulde
bee
their
wisdome
and
vnderstanding
before
al
people
:
Deut
.
4.6.8
.
so
that
they
which
should
heare
,
should
be
forced
to
confesse
only
this
people
is
wise
and
of
vnderstanding
:
Shall
we
think
,
that
the
Lawes
of
the
sonne
,
Lord
and
maister
of
the
house
,
would
make
vs
lesse
righteous
,
wise
,
Christs
discipl
.
maketh
a
nation
honorable
.

and
honorable
before
al
people
?
If
Salomon
for
the
wisdom
which
he
had
of
God
,
was
admired
&
sought
to
of
all
people
,
&
the
glory
,
wealthe
,
and
peace
of
his
kingdome
,
was
herein
especially
,
in
that
hee
builded
the
materiall
temple
after
the
patterne
giuen
him
of
God
?
Is
there
not
a
greater
than
Salomon
with
vs
,
and
shall
not
the
glory
of
our
Queene
and
countrye
,
be
as
great
,
if
we
in
the
building
of
the
spirituall
temple
,
vse
no
other
platforme
,
but
that
which
God
doth
send
vnto
vs
?
Ioine
herevnto
the
vse
and
end
of
Christs
governement
:
namely
,
why
god
appointed
Christs
kingdom
:
the
kings
of
the
earth
,
and
civill
states
,
being
ignorant
of
the
mystery
of
Christs
ruling
,
are
many
times
troubled
,
when
they
heare
that
a
king
is
borne
:
Mat
.
2.1.2
.
and
when
they
perceaue
,
that
the
neuer
fay
ling
worde
of
the
Almighty
,
doth
set
down
that
it
must
be
so
,
where
,
and
how
,
they
lay
priuie
netts
&
engines
to
prevent
him
:
but
wise
men
are
contrary
minded
&
doe
come
from
their
owne
country
,
The
end
of
Christs
discipline
to
seeke
him
out
:
&
are
exceding
glad
when
they
see
the
tokens
of
his
comming
,
reioicing
to
do
homage
before
his
holy
Majesty
,
for
they
know
plainly
that
hee
came
not
to
dissolue
the
Lawe
,
Mat
.
5.17
.
as
to
teach
subiectes
to
disobey
their
naturall
princes
,
but
to
fulfill
it
:
and
to
make
men
of
conscience
,
even
without

of

that
when

is

as
it
ought
to
bee
done
,
and
by
those
persons
and
orders
,
which
the
ordainer
thereof
hath
appointed
:
that
it
shoulde
hurte
the
estate
,
and
diminish
the
happines
of
a
Christian
nation
?
Therefore
well
said
the
Prophet
Esay
of
this
government
.
Esay

Hee
shall
not
make
to
smok
nor
bruise
,
till
he
haue
set
judgement
in
the
earth
,
and
the
Yles
shall
wait
for
his
Law
.
By
which
he
meaneth
that
the
government
of
Christ
is
such
,
that
of
it self
in
his
proper
nature
,
it
disquieteth
&
troubleth
no
man
,
no
not
to
the
bruising
of
a
reed
,
or
quenching
of
smoking
flaxe
:
but
it
peaceably
bringeth
men
to
good
order
,
yea
,
saith
he
,
the
nations
shall
attend
vpon
him
to
be
ruled
by
his
Law
.
See
how
God
hath
determined
the
good
of
the
nations
by
his
sonnes
government
:
can
it
be
good
policy
to
refuse
it
?
And
we
haue
great
experience
of
this
thing
since
wee
submitted
our selues
vnto
Christ
by
receauing
the
gospell
so
far
as
we
haue
done
.
to
help
the
civill
Magist
.
What
works
of
righteousnes
God
hath
wroght
among
vs
?
Howe
is
our
Queene
become
an
helper
of
the
oppressed
,
and
a
succour
,
&
a
nurse
to
the
bannished

Howe
hath
our
peace
vnder
hir
flourished
?
What
age
can

And
what
praise
hath

lande
,
and
glorye

Royall
Majesty

If
wee
forget
all
the
mighty
deliuerances
,
yet
this
laste
yeares
ouerthrowe

enemies
may
testifie

being
strange
to

admired

an
astonishment

the
enemy

and
triumph
to

what
would

when
the
mouthes
of
Gods
faithfull
servants
were
stopped

and
very
many
of
hir
Majesties
moste
faithfull
subiectes
fearing
God
,
grieued
and
molested
,
it
may
be
it
were
good
policie
for
vs
to
besturre
our selues
to
set
vp
reformation
:
for
we
know
that
one
feare
or
plague
hath
euer
since
followed
an
other
:
firste
in
that
very
yeare
,
howe
manye
wayes
was
hir
Majesties
sacred
person
indangered
by
the
diuelishe
and
traiterous
Papistes
,
then
followed
a
deare
yeare
of
corne
,
and
after
manye
were
punished
with
penury
:
besides
this
,
we
haue
sent
forth
souldiers
kept
watch
&
ward
,
&
lastly
forced
to
forsak
al
to
wait
vpon
the
enimye
,
whome
God
brought
even
in
our
sight
before
our
dores
,
and
at
this
houre
wee
are
still
busie
in
labour
and
study
,
to
keepe
the
sworde
out
of
the
land
.
If
vnto
Iuda
and
Israell
such
thinges
as
these
were
warnings
,
threatnings
,
and
corrections
:
let
vs
take
heed
,
that
we
go
not
to
far
in
flattering
our selues
molesting
Gods
servants
,
refusing
Christs
ordinance
,
till
it
be
too
late
,
and
there
be
no
remedy

O
Lord
for
christs

,
bow
thou
our
harts
,
that
we
may
not
leane
too
much
,
vnto
the
vncertaine

An

now
it
is
easie
to
establishe

whether
it
bee
possible

safe
,
to
plante
discipline
in

that
Gods
holy

bee
soundlye
both
taught
and
receaued
:
and
that
there
be
fit
church-men
and
people
to
execute
the
discipline
.
I
am
sory
that
by
publik
authority
such
a
boke
should
be
allowed
,
that
hath
no
better
reason
against
discipline
,
then
that
which
standeth
with
the
accusation
of
the
whole
state
and
dispraise
of
the
whole
land

For
what
can
be
greater
shame
to
our
state
which
professe
the
true
&
sound
doctrine
of
the
gospell
,
then
that
the
same
should
not

taught

and
what
greater
dispraise
,
then
after

Churchmen

Paule
was
but
one
,
Rom.
15.18.19
and
yet
in
verie
few
yeares
he
caused
the
gospell
to
abound
from
Ierusalem
,
An
easie
matter
to
set
vp
and
rounde
about
vnto
Illiricum
:
The
Apostles
in
a
short
time
planted
very
many
churches
with
the
discipl
.
of
Christ
.
So
that
hee
durste
not
speake
of
any
thing
,
which
Christ
had
not
wroughte
by
him
,
to
make
the
gentiles
obedient
in
word
and
deede
:
&
we
haue
diuers
L.
Bishops
throgh
all
the
shieres
in
England
,
dispersed
in
several
charges
,
and
haue
not
all
they
done
as
much
in
one
countrye
,
as
hee
did
in
many
?
Hee
had
the
ciuill
power
against
him
,
these
haue
it
for
them
:
he
was
many
times
troubled
,
imprisoned
,
these
haue
nothing
to
feare
that
might
amongest
men
discourage
them
:
he
was
poore
and
laboured
for
his
liuing
diuers
times
,
these
haue
great
liuings
:
he
had
no
humiane
help
,
but
the
simple
&
sincere
teaching
of
the
truth
;
these
haue
very
large
authority
:
and
haue
they
not
yet
prevailed
so
farre
,
as
that
Gods
holy
truth
,
is
soundly
taught
and
receiued
,
but
that
the
lacke
hereof
must
hinder
the
good
course
of
discipline
?
In
a
very
small
time
did
Pauland
Barnabas
preach
,
and
teach
,
many
in
Derba
,
Listra
,
Iconium
,
and
Antiochia
:
Act.
13.
&
.
14.20
21.23
.
and
ordained
them
Elders
in
euery
church
.
At
Ephesus
Paule
continued
three
yeare
in
whch
space
he
taught
them
al
the
counsell
of
god
,
Act.
20
,
17.27.28.31
.
and
left
them
Elders
to
looke
to
themselues
and
to
all
the
flock
.
It
may
be
some
man
will
object
,
that
Paules
calling
being
extraordinary
,
and
his
blessing
extraordinary
,
to
blame
our
Bb.
may
not
be
fit
.
I
aunswere
,
if
they
will
take
vpon
them
an
office
and
charge
of
many
congregations
as
Paule
,
&
claime
authority
in
ordering
of
churches
and
church
men
,
as
Paule
:
why
should
it
not
bee
looked
for
,
that
they
shoulde
doe
as
much
good
in
their
place
,
as
he
did
in
his
,
having
many
more
helpes
,
then
he
.
But
this
commeth
to
passe
,
by
no
other
reason
,
but
by
the
want
of
Gods
church
governement
.
Discipline
in
England
.
For
when
they
take
a
calling
whereof
they
haue
no
warrant
as
Paule
had
,
how
can
they
bee
blessed
as
Paule
:
when
they
meddle
with
civill
causes
which
Paule
did
not
:
how
can
they
,
or
do
they
attend
vnto
preching
in
themselues
,
&
promote
it
in
others
,
as
Paule
did
:
when
they
by
articles
and
deuised
plots
make
daylie
trappes
to
entangle
good
preachers
,
and
thrust
many
out
because
they
teach
all
the
counsell
of
God
,
as
Paule
did
:
and
maintain
,
&
beare
with
some
which
preach
against
the
counsell
of
God
:
and
more
,
which
preach
neuer
a
whit
of
gods
counsell
,
whiche
Paule
did
not
:
when
they
haue
in
their
mouthes
the
waye
of
preferment
,
and
in
their
labours
the
care
of
honour
,
and
giue
dispensations
to
Non-residensy
,
tollerations
to
naked
Readers
,
which
all
were
farre
from
Paule
:
how
can
wee
look
for
the
fruit
of
their
loyterings
,
which
came
of
his
labours
:
or
that
such
as
striue
against
the
gospel
,
should
do
good
,
as
he
which
stroue
for
it
.
Let
all
men
consider
by
this
,
what
it
is
to
bee
L.B.
(
jure
humano
)
by
mans
lawe
,
and
to
bee
a
poore
minister
and
true
servant
of
Christ
,
(
jure
diuino
)
by
gods
Law
.
But
it
should
seeme
by
this
question
,
that
if
the
holy
truth
of
God
wer
soundly
taught
,
&c.
then
it
were
possible
and
safe
to
plant
discipline
in
this
land
,
and
surely
I
thinke
so
too
.
But
herein
I
differ
,
that
I
am
perswaded
that
gods
truth
is
soundly
taught
in
this
land
(
which
he
seemeth
secretlye
to
denye
,
Gods
truth
is
soundly
taught
in
England
.
or
else
his
question
were
no
question
)
and
so
I
thinke
all
men
that
speake
aduisedly
,
and
all
the
churches
of
god
will
witnes
with
me
:
so
that
I
think
in
a
matter
so
cleare
,
I
neede
not
to
vse
many
vnnecessary
reasons
:
therefore
it
followeth
by
his
own
judgement
,
that
it
is
possible
and
safe
to
plant
discipline
in
England
,
where
the
holy
truth
of
god
is
soundly
taught
.
As
touching
fit
church
men
and
people
(
god
be
thanked
for
it
)
there
be
more
knowen
then
be
accounted
of
,
and
more
vnknowen
than
we
are
worthy
of
,
and
more
woulde
haue
beene
if
the
resisting
of
discipline
,
and
maintening
of
popish
disorders
,
had
not
discouraged
some
,
and
prevented
very
many
.
But
I
would
faine
be
taught
either
by
the
scripture
of
God
,
or
by
sound
reason
;
howe
in
manye
places
of
this
Land
the
holy
truth
of
God
,
can
bee
(
as
it
ought
)
soundly
taught
and
receaued
,
and
fit
church
men
and
people
:
Christs
orders
and
discipline
,
maketh
fit
churchmen
and
people
.
till
the
rule
and
law
of
Christ
be
obserued
.
For
see
you
not
,
that
the
orders
nowe
keepe
them
out
,
which
would
like
kynde
shep-heards
feede
the
flocke
,
and
that
it
feedeth
and
fostereth
the
Idle
&
proud
Prelacy
,
who
lye
lurking
in
their
warme
nests
,
having
manye
easie
impedimentes
,
and
sweete
silver
coardes
to
pull
them
back
from
their
duty
,
they
are
so
invested
into
offices
ciuill
,
and
so
preferred
to
the
honour
of
the
high
commission
,
that
their
leasure
is
smal
,
some
dwelling
in
Cathedrall
churches
,
are
so
pestred
with
consultations
about
leases
,
&
changing
of
church
lands
,
with
feasting
and
flattering
one
an
other
,
with
rhewmes
and
stitches
,
and
the
farnes
of
the
places
,
or
vnholsomnes
of
the
aire
,
where
their
charge
is
:
that
they
commend
that
busines
to
their
curate
.
Some
having
bene
put
to
learne
their
Catechisme
,
&
to
make
exercises
now
thirtie
years
,
are
as
fitt
church-men
for
knowledge
and
vtterance
,
as
a
childe
of
eight
yeres
of
age
.
No
marvell
then
,
thoughe
the
people
in
all
places
be
not
so
fit
as
they
should
be
:
when
by
the
order
of
our
disorderly
church
government
,
such
wicked
&
blinde
guides
may
bee
suffered
and
defended
.
But
if
according
to
the
law
of
Christs
church-governement
there
were
diligent
searche
made
in
all
places
of
the
lande
,
for
wise
,
learned
and
stayed
men
of
all
degrees
to
bee
called
to
the
office
of
Pastors
and
teachers
:
and
that
by
the
wise
circumspection
of
these
,
discreet
and
sober
men
,
with
the
consent
of
several
churches
were
adjoined
as
helpers
:
think
you
that
there
woulde
bee
many
places
voide
of
able
and
godlye
teachers
.
And
if
there
should
some
be
,
could
it
long
so
continew
,
seing
that
the
power
and
spirituall
authoritye
of
these
,
would
soone
breed
such
a
light
,
and
bring
forth
such
a
harvest
,
as
the
beauty
and
glory
of
such
churches
as
were
established
and
furnished
,
would
soone
draw
on
the
other
,
and
cause
them
like
wise
to
bee
prouided
.
Now
men
thrust
in
themselues
,
then
they
should
be
called
by
other
.
Nowe
men
seeke
(
like
journey
men
)
a
curatship
,
and
(
like
farmers
afore
hande
)
get
an
advowsen
before
the
incumbents
lease
(
I
should
say
life
)
be
out
:
then
should
such
as
be
good
men
and
of
fitte
giftes
be
sought
for
,
not
only
in
the
vniversity
,
but
in
the
countrie
,
court
cittie
,
and
gentlemen
and
noblemens
houses
,
whersoeuer
any
might
be
found
worthy
of
so
high
a
calling
.
Now
many
are
violently
thruste
out
,
because
they
do
their
duty
:
then
shoulde
manye
be
set
in
,
who
would
tremble
of
themselues
,
to
enter
into
that
calling
,
for
feare
they
should
not
discharge
it
Now
many
change
their
studies
from
diuinity
,
many
after
study
go
to
other
trades
,
many
parentes
are
discouraged
from
bestowing
coste
on
their
children
,
because
they
see
how
little
they
be
esteemed
,
if
they
will
not
yeelde
to
the
corruption
of
our
disorders
.
Then
many
would
change
their
studies
from
law
,
phisicke
,
musick
,
schooling
,
&c.
and
many
woulde
leaue
their
trades
,
and
parents
would
think
their
cost
well
bestowed
,
&
be
diuers
wayes
comforted
,
to
prefer
their
children
to
the
study
of
divinity
.
Againe
,
many
who
now
are
dumb
,
if
they
saw
Christ
comming
but
a
fair
of
with
the
scourge
of
discipline
,
would
soone
finde
their
tongues
,
and
the
vniting
of
smal
parishes
would
make
vs
need
fewer
than
be
:
and
the
sending
of
bish
,
and
non-residentes
(
suche
I
meane
as
are
meete
)
to
a
charge
,
woulde
supplye
some
that
want
:
and
some
of
their
curates
,
(
being
as
learned
,
as
they
)
woulde
serue
to
fill
a
gappe
:
and
diuers
other
things
would
God
offer
,
if
we
would
go
about
it
.
If
the
Apostles
in
a
short
time
found
fitt
men
to
place
for
Pastors
,
Teachers
,
Elders
,
and
Deacons
in
euery
church
:
how
much
more
would
it
appeare
easy
among
vs
,
if
so
be
now
after
30.
yeares
of
peace
,
and
increase
of
all
kinde
of
learning
,
there
were
liberty
for
Christ
;
orders
,
and
authority
to
further
the
same
.
The
worthy
example
of
Iehosaphat
,
in
this
place
,
might
both
teach
this
thing
,
and

prince
of
noble
memory
,
by
the
meanes
of
one
man
the
true
right
of
the
King
being
revealed
:
how
soone
,
&
how
easily
was
the
Popes
supremacy
cast
out
of
Englande
,
in
a
time
of
great
danger
,
when
the
Realme
had
very
little
acquaintance
with
the
gospell
,
and
the
Pope
did
rule
in
mens
hearts
as
God
.
And
without
the
realm
(
for
the
most
part
)
the
whole
world
on
the
contrarye
:
yet
did
that
worthy
King
prevaile
and
keepe
his
right
.
King
Edward
the
sixte
,
that
rare
young
prince
,
being
tender
for
yeares
,
how
did
he
set
vp
the
Gospell
in
the
midst
of
darknesse
?
What
fitt
church-men
and
people
was
there
,
if
he
had
taried
till
they
had
come
of
themselues
,
howe
long
mighte
hee
haue
stayed
.
Or
if
the
Quenes
Majesty
had
cast
al
perils
that
in
reason
might
haue
fallen
out
in
restoring
the
churches
at
hir
joifull
entraunce
into
the
seate
of
hir
rightfull
throne
:
shee
might
haue
said
it
was
impossible
,
and
not
safe
to
alter
the
state
of
religion
.
How
much
more
woulde
it
bee
easy
now
to
ouercome
and
turne
out
the
remnants
,
&
taile
of
the
Pope
,
when
there
was
no
hurt
to
this
land
nor
great
matter
in
the
doing
of
the
thing
,
to
subdue
&
bannish
his
head
.
The
easines
of
this
,
may
farther
appeare
if
we
consider
,
Maintainers
of
mens
traditions
despised
.
first
how
the
maintainers
of
mens
traditions
against
Christs
church-gouernment
by
the
juste
judgement
of
God
,
Malach
.
2.4
.
(
as
he
telleth
them
in
the
Propher
)
are
made
to
be
despised
&
vile
before
al
people
:
because
they
kept
not
his
wayes
,
but
haue
beene
partiall
in
the
Lawe
.
So
that
a
poore
simple
minister
that
handleth
the
worde
of
God
aright
,
though
all
his
liuing
peradventure
be
not
worth
fourty
markes
the
yeare
,
is
hard
with
more
reverence
,
&
resorted
vnto
with
more
diligence
,
than
one
of
those
that
imagineth
that
the
dignity
of
ministers
consisteth
in
outward
things
,
though
he
haue
the
great
bell
rung
,
and
men
to
helpe
him
to
the
pulpit
.
Men

for
lack
of

Againe
,
who
is
ignorant
howe
men
crye
out
for
able
ministers
in
euery
place
:
what
sutes
and
supplications
in
time
of
Parliament
,
what
meanes
hath
bene
made
to
counsellours
?
In
the
next
place
consider
,
that
the

which

and
the
Cathedrall

There

if
it

before
it
be
too
much
scambled
,
how
well
woulde
it
serue
to
redeeme

,
and

and
with
the

warres
,
&
increase
of

:
how
easily
might
two
or
three
,
or
more
small
congregations
bee
vnited
into
one
,
when
there
is
law
already
to
do
the
same
.
Againe
,
some
of
themselues
will
say
in
some
places
,
that
if
it
pleased
hir
Majesty
they
would
bee
willing
,
but
we
must
not
go
before
a
law
.
But
I
cannot
be
perswaded
,
but
they
slander
hir
godly
&
christian
minde
:
for
if
they
would
deale
faithfully
with
hir
,
&
by
themselues
,
&
by
suffering
others
,
make
this
holy
trueth
of
Christs
Ecclesiastical
government
,
The
Queenes
Majesty
abused
by
the
Bb.
plainly
knowen
to
hir
royall
and
princely
vnderstanding
:
it
is
impossible
that
so
zealous
and
godly
a
prince
,
hauing
so
manye
yeares
in
so
many
perils
of
hir
life
,
againste
so
manye
mighty
men
abroad
,
and
false
harts
at
home
,
so
wisely
&
constantly
maintained
the
gospell
of
Iesus
christ
,
and
comfortably
receaued
so
many
blessings
,
deliuerances
,
and
aduancements
of
honor
,
so
that
hir
name
is
great
and
terrible
to
al
lands
,
would
be
so
negligent
of
hir
duty
,
so
vnthankfull
to
God
,
so
fearefull
of
any
danger
,
or
any
way
so
backward
:
that
in
hir
onely
,
so
holy
,
so
worthy
,
so
hye
and
necessarye
a
thing
,
moste
profitable
to
hir
subjects
,
most
certaine
for
hir
safety
,
should
be
withstood
&
resisted
.
Do
not
they
preach
?
do
they
not
perswad
?
do
not
they
sue
for
commissions
?
Do
not
they
suspend
,
imprison
,
and
keep
back
al
they
can
from
the
courte
and
Paules
crosse
,
whiche
might
detect
their
vnfaithfulnesse
to
God
,
and
abusing
of
hir
Maiesty
.
Furthermore
,
if
we
weigh
how
the
Papistes
courages
are
wel
alayed
,
their
nets
broken
,
and
many
fallen
into
their
own
pits
,
and
their
long
wouen
spiders

,
their
filthy
plots
,
by
Gods
merciful
providence
made
voide
,
No
hard
thing
to
cast
out
&
that
the
zeale
of
many
hath
bene
lately
sturred
vp
,
and
made
more
desirous
to
serue
God
,
&
follow
his
law
:
were
it
not
easie
now
to
plant
discipline
?
and
would
not
all
men
thinke
,
that
the
mercifulnes
of
God
calleth
vnto
it
?
and
would
not
his
mercies
bow
thousands
to
like
of
it
?
how
redily
did
the
people
leaue
their
work
without
all
constraint
,
and
with
very
small
and
slight
warning
in
many
places
,
when
they
kne
we
that
hir
highnesse
was
desirous
that
God
shoulde
bee
solemnly
praised
of
hir
people
,
howe
did
this
pearce
the
peoples
harts
towards
hit
?
how
much
more
wold
the
Lord
frame
the
peoples
harts
towardes
hir
,
if
this
noble
worke
were
enterprised
,
and
the
fruite
thereof
would
be
a
thousand
fold
doubled
.
Lastly
,
The
Pope
in
a
consumption
.
consider
that
since
the
time
of
Luther
,
the
Lord
hath
breathed
vpon
the
Pope
,
and
stroken
him
in
a
mervelous
consumption
:
and
that
is
a
sure
worde
of
prophesy
,
3.
Thes
2.8
.
that
by
preaching
he
shal
be
consumed
,
and
the
people
of
God
haue
commission
to
rewarde
him
,
Renel
.
18.16
.
and
giue
him
double
,
according
to
his
workes
:
think
you
it
wil
be
a
hard
thing
to
cast
out
of
England
,
some
reliques
and
scattered
remnantes
of
the
raile
of
the
beaste
,
when
wee
haue
experience
that
these
prophosies
are
true
,
in
the
great
and
most
substantial
frontiers
of
his
power
.
Let
vs
not
feare
then
,
as
an
harde
thing
,
when
God
and
man
,
heaven
and
earth
,
tyme
&
place
do
fauor
the
worke
,
and
warrant
good
successe
.
Out
of
this
followeth
the
second
part
of
my
reason
,
for
if
the
Pope
must
consume
,
and
that
by
the
breathe
of
Christs
mouth
,
3.
Thes
.
2.3
.
then
surely
Christs
meaning
is
,
that
his
owne
kingdome
shall
preuaile
.
This
is
the
stone
that

Now
seing
we
craue
no
other
governement
but
his
,
and
his
cannot
bee
withstood
:
let
all
state-men
judge
,
whether
it
bee
not
harde
,
and
contrary
to
safety
,
to
stand
against
him
.
And
if
we
knew
what
the
Prophet
meaneth
,
Esay
.
49.23
.
when
he
saieth
:
that
Kings
shal
be
the
nursing
fathers
of
the

,
and
Queens
hir
nources
,
that
they
shal
worship
with
their

and
licke

&
that

shal
be
judge
among
the
heathen
.
Hee
shall
fill
all
with
deade
bodies
,
and
smite
the
head
ouer
great
countries
.
We
might
soone
perceaue
that
it
wil
be
hard
kicking
against
the
prick
,
and
as
the
Apostle
said
to
the
Corinthians
,
for
mingling
themselues
with
the
table
of
the
Lord
,
and
table
of
Deuils
.
So
it
may
be
considered
of
vs
for
mingling
the
holy
things
of
Christ
,
with
the
prophane
thinges
of
Antichrist
.
Do
we
provoke
the
Lord
to

are
we
stronger
than
he
?
When

set
forth
his
vnaduised

of

,
Subscription

trouble
the
church

commom-wealth
it
seemed
as
a
strong
pot
of
brasse
that
would
soone
haue
broken
in
pieces
all
the
power
of
poore
ministers
,
and
made
discipline
in
vtter
contempt
.
But
marke
what
followed
by
distur
bing
Gods
servants
and
many
churches
,
the
cause
of
discipline
is
better
known
and
more
favored
,
&
their
Hh.
and
Lordly
presumptions
,
by
a
contemptible
&
very
base
and
strange

,
not

of
by
a

To

that
the
more
they

against
the

of

,
the
more
shall
they
fall
before
the

of
his

and
the
glory
of
his
truth
.
And
in
them
is
fulfilled
that
which
the

what
hard

was
against
the

,

,
and
howe
God
made
them
to
see
their

It
may
be
considered
that

there
was
an
injunction
by
the
noble
king
Henry
the
eight
,
that
the

be
set
in
churches
to
bee
reade
of

the

articles
followed
.
These
two
,
lyke
vnto
the
arke
of
God
,
and
Dagon
in
the
verye
temple
of
Dagon
,
had
their
conflict
,
no
eafie
matter
.
but
where
was
the
victory
?
we
this
day
see
.
So
can
it
not
be
possible
to
keepe
out
discipline
,
seeing
we
haue
the
scepter
of
Christ
,
not
only
read
,
but
preached
among
vs
?
For
in
the
dayes
of
King
Henry
,
Dagon
fell
down
vpon
his
face
on
the
ground
before
the
arke
,
and
his
head
and
hands
were
cut
off
in
King
Edwards
time
:
he
was
set
vp
in
a
patching
manner
in
the
dayes
of
Queene
Mary
:
he
hath
receaued
the
second
wound
by
Queene
Elizabeth
.
And
I
pray
God
,
that
by
the
emrodes
sent
from
God
,
those
which
maintain
the
stomp
that
remaineth
,
be
not
forced
with
homage
and
honour
to
Christ
,
to
giue
the
Arke
of
God
his
free
passage
.
I
would
wish
rather
,
&
I
desire
God
most
hartily
,
(
that
now
they
are
in

rage
,
&
furnished
with
commission
for
their
priuat

,
)
the
Lord
would
stryk
them
as
he
did

,
when
he
went
with

to

,
and
make
them

their

full

of

and
that

of

Seing

that

the

calleth

thereunto
;
and
the
very
tyme
of
Antichristes
consumption
,
and
that
there
is
living
sufficient
,
and
men
,
and
meanes
to
accomplish
it
.
And
lastly
,
seeing
it
is
harde
,
dangerous
,
and
impossible
to
stand
against
it
:
I
moste
humblye
beseech
,
and
moue
your
Hh.
to
consider
,
whether
it
be
not
the
beste
and
surest
policy
for
this
realm
,
that
it
may
continue
quiet
and
happy
,
to
reforme
al
disorders
in
the
church
,
after
the
scriptures
of
God
,
and
to
suffer
no
other
churchgouernment
,
but
that
which
Christ
ordained
,
and
the
Apostles
practised
.
The
speciall
reasons
are
nowe
to
follow
,
More
speciall
proofes
of
the
proposition
,
from
the
church
or
commom-wealth
which
are
such
as
specially
concerne
,
either
the
common-wealth
or
the
church
,
for
these
are
two
twinnes
which
are
vnited
together
,
and
remaine
distinct
in
euerye
nation
fearing
God
,
for
the
double
benefite
of
the
inhabitants
thereof
,
whereby
God
hath
that
which
is
his
,
Mat
.
22.21
.
and
Caesar
that
which
is
his
:
and
some
are
put
a
parte
in
the
church
,
for
the
matters
of
God
,
and
some
in
the
common
wealthe
haue
civill
offices
for
the
affaires
of
the
King
.
When
these
two
are
rightly
ordered

and
being
joyned
together
,
and
remaining

,
doe
in
their
severall
natures
and
proper
places
worke
together
,
they
make
a
happy
state
and
people
.
Which
two
things
,
if
it
may
appeare
that
the
establishing
of
discipline
after
Gods
worde
,
will
bring
to
passe
:
I
hope
it
wil
be
graunted
that
the
true
rules
of
policy
will
challenge
Christs
church
government
for
this
Land
,
and
bannish
the
vsurped
and
Antichristian
hierarchy
.
In
the
common-wealthe
,
there
are
the
persons
and
times
to
be
considered
:
the

for

the
times

Concerning
the

and
common
Lawes
and

of
this

,
The
civil

of
England
worthy
great
commendation
.
so
far
as
I
can
see
,
there
can
be
few
nations
preferred
before
vs
,
and
for
the
wise
fore
cast
of
thinges
in
the
sway
of
the
common-wealth
,
both
for
the
main
tenance
of
peace
,
and
strength
for
warre
,
as
my
purpose
is
not
to
meddle
with
it
,
so
I
cannot
but
admire
,
&
giue
god
thanks
for
the
rare
and
honorable
vertues
of
wisedome
and
magnanimity
,
The
orders
of
Christ
in
hir
most
excellent
Majesty
,
and
the
constant
,
faithfull
,
and
diligent
prouidence
and
labour
of
hir
most
honorable
and
graue
counsellors
:
praying
God
alwaies
for
the
blessed
continuance
of
the
same
.
The
thing
which
I
endeuour
,
is
onely
to
shew
how
this
happy
tract
of
time
,
vnder
so
wise
,
both
lawes
and
gouernours
may
be
best
and
surest
kept
and
enlarged
,
either
by
that
church
gouernment
which
is
borrowed
and
left
as
the
smoaking
taile
of
Antichrist
,
or
by
the
ordering
of
the
churches
,
after
the
word
of
God
.
If
wee
speake
of
the
persons
in

,

special
reason
for
the
execution
&

of
good
lawes
,
Christs

best
.
howe
the
good
and
wholsome
lawes
should
take
good
effecte
both
in
them
,
and
for
them
:
&
we
consider
the
loose
handling
of
holy
things
,
whiche
is
in
the
very
nature
of
the
bastard
discipline
,
&
the
great
occasions
which
the
church
governours
and
church-men
haue
,
to
be
drawen
away
from
the
juste
and
due
practise
of
their
offices
,
you
shal
easily
perceaue
,
that
the
matter
is
cleared
by
the
experience
of

for

on

one

where

it
is
hindred
with

:
how
can
the
word
of
God
enter
into
the
conscience
of
all

,
as
it
were
necessary
to
breed
a

,
either
in
the
Magistrates
to
execute
the

in

then
in
waighty
matters
changed
for

thirdly
by
persons
which
in

nature

thing
ought
not

meddle

such
ho
ly
matters
;
and
in
regarde
of
distance
of

cannot
deale
so
justly
as
a

would
and
should
,
(
for

or

Queens

excomunicated
before

not

)
Verely
all
these
things
which
lye
in
the
very
nature
of
our
disordered
government
,
&
not
in

of

together

in

of

(
for
I

not

alwaies

you
shall
perceaue

the
one
is
like
the

rule
of
Lesbos
,
which
wil
bend
where
the
partie

be

not

the
other
is
the

of
a

Cherubins
,
to
keep
the
way
of
the
tree
of

.
Tell
mee
then
I
pray
you
,
which
most
agreeth
with
policy
(
if
we
were
desirous
to
haue
al
good
lawes
duly
executed
)
a
thing
contemptible
and
vile
,
which
is
far
from
true

that
which
hath

pearceth

soule

The
discipl

And
surely
this
may
easilye
bee
obserued
,
that
the
most
part
of
such
as
are
against
the
orders
of
god
,
are
a
people
that
delight
in
licentiousnes
,
Wicked

not
Christs
discipline

which
cannot
abyde
to
heare
of
their
sinne
,
and
hate

By
whiche
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
other
is
of
no
powerfull
nature
to
keepe
men
in
good
order
,
&
that
which
of
all
other
is
a
very
waighty
matter
,
the
nature
of
these
disorders
is
such
,
that
they
keep
out
&
thrust
out
of
the
ministery
,
such
worthye
men
as
of
all
other
,
are
knowne
most
diligent
and
wise

in

it

that

which
is
a
manifest
vntruth

as
for

it

no

it

presumed

than

as

and
to
speake
generally
to
all

rest
,
what
hurt

,
The

of

altereth
not
to

alter
a
little
,
No
danger
to
go
forward
in

seeing
that
when
indeede
the
whole

of

were
altered
,
at
the
entrance
of

happy

,
in

of
more
danger
as
is
aforesaid
,
the
Lord
gaue
a
contrary
euent
and
happy
blessing
.
And
though
it
seeme
a
matter
of
great
waight
,
to
alter
one
of
the
three
estats
,
by
which
the
lawes
haue
stood
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
by
the
ministry
of
your
honorable
wisdomes
,
effected
more
greater
and
difficult
matters
than
this
.
Howbeit
(
as
the
Lawiars
reporte
)
the
L

Bb
.
are
not
one
of

in

,
The

not
one
o
the
three
estates
by
which
the
lawes
do
stand
.
but
are
mingled
with
the
Lords
of
the
vpper
house
,
whiche
Lords
are
one
of
the
three
estates
.
For
they
describe
the
state
and
body
of
a

,
&
the
members
it
consisteth
of
,
in
this
order
:

that
it
doth
consist
first
of

chief
:
secondly
,
of

body
:
thirdly
,
of

that
is

the
inferiour
members
,
&
al
this
make
the
body
of
the
Parliament
by
whiche
the
lawes
doe
stand
.
Whereby
I
gather
,
that
as
before
the

of

brought

.

be

,
joined
to

the

if

Come

then
it
is
a
point
of
great
policy
that
you
labour
wisely
,
to
set
vp
Gods

in
his

,
if
you
desire
the

of

Good

to

the
spriggs
of

,
that
he
grow
no
more
to
hurt
the
state
.
in
al
historics
it
is
found
to
be
most
agreeing
to
policy
,
when
thou
hast
subdued
thy
capitall
enemy
,
or
bannished
him
,
to
roote
out
al
his
friendes
,
and
whatsoeuer
may
minister

of
his
returne
:
and
in
your
bookes
of
policy
,
you
shall
finde
diuers
princes
for
their
safety
,
haue
both
taken
away
the
heads
of
the
men
that
might
haue
beene
dangerous
to
their
estate
,
and
as
conveniently
(
as
possible
they
could
)
altered
the
forme
of
government
.
But
seeing
wee
haue
sufficient
in
Gods
word
,
1.
King
.
2.26
.
I
wil
not
lade
you
with
other
.
Salomon
was
a
wise
king
as
euer
liued
,
he
vsed
this
policye
towardes
Adonijah
,
Ioab
,
and
Shimei
:
and
the
text
saith
,
after
he
had
slaine
these
three
,
the
kingdom
was
established
in
the
hande
of
Salomon
.
Nowe
this
king
needed
not
to
change
the
law
,
because
comming
to
his
crowne
by
lawfull
succession
,
he
might
safelye
continue
the
olde
.
And
yet
in
the
matters
of
God
,
he
went
farther
then
his
father
,
in
building
the
temple
,
and
setting
foorth
the
true
seruice
and
worship
of
Almighty
God
therein
:
which
when
he
swarued
from
,
and
followed
the
lawes
of
the
nations
rounde
about
him
,
which
were
enemies
by
nature
vnto
him
,
his
estate
was
troublesome
,
and
his
ende
not
so
glorious
.
For
this
cause
God
gaue
his
people
when
they
should
enter
into
the
lande
of
Chanaan
this
lawe
,
that
they
should
vtterly
destroy
those

make
no
covenant
nor
haue
compassion
of
them
;
nor
make
any
mariages
with
them
:
and
secondly
,
is
for
the
Queenes
Maiest
,
safety
that
they
shold
destroy
their
Idoles
,
and
all
monuments
of
Idolatry
,
so
that
the
very
names
of
such
should
not
be
heard
of
among
them
.
Which
when
they
did
not
carefully
followe
,
they
were
pricks
in
their
sides
,
and
snares
to
their
feet
,
Iudg
.
2.3
and
greatly
to
their
wo
and
misery
.
So
I
doe
seare
,
and
very
much
beleue
,
that
one
great
cause
of
many
scourges
and
feares
,
and
flights
that
wee
haue
bene
put
vnto
,
commeth
by
a
contrary
policy
which
fostereth
the
enemies
of
hir
Maiesty
,
and
giueth
occasion
of
manie
mischiefes
.

and
that
he
came
even
to
the

of

,
even
the
supremacy
of
the

,
which
is
the
maine
breach
of
this
discipline
.
But
when
&
how
was
hee
stayed
?
even
then
when
Luther
had
detected
the
disorder
of

Antichristian
Prelacy
,
Anno
1529.
and
at

where

of

The

of

discipl

hath
ouer
throwen
many
kingdomes
,
and
namely
the
Romain
empire
,
he
had
his
first
stoppe
,
and
a
very
great
ouerthrow
:
&
why
prevailed
he
so
farr
into
Hungarye
,
but
onely
because
they
which
shoulde
haue
given
rescue
,
as
vassals
to
the
Pope
,
were
so
busy
in
healing
the
wound
which
the
triple
crowne
had
receaued
in
Saxonye
:
and
that
they
neglected
the
true
duty
to
their
country
.
Anno
604.
When
Phocas
to
get
fauour
after
the
murthering
of
Mauritius
his
Lorde
and
maister
,
had
graunted
to
the
B.
of
Rome
,
to
be
B.
of
Bb.
and
head
of
all
Christian
churches
:
did
not
the
authoritye
of
the
Empire
decay
and
the
power
of
the
Empire
waxe
weake
euer
since
?
haue
not
the
seruants
benelords
ouer
their
Lord
?
Consider
I
pray
you
what
difference
there
is
betweene
the
B.
of
Rome
vnder
the
Emperor
,
to
be
made
chiefe
B.
of
all
Bb.
in
the
Empyie
:
and
that
the
B.
of
Canter
.
should
be
chief
,
or
Archb.
Primate
and
Metropolitan
ouer
all
the
Bb.
&
churches
in
England
.
Discipline
after
Gods
word
If
that
were
dangerous
to
the
empyre
&
Emperour
,
how
can
this
be
fafe
for
England
and
the
Queene
thereof
?
If
Thomas
Becket
his
predecessour
,
coulde
wrestle
with
the
King
,
who
then
was
Henry
the
second
:
peradventure
this
man
(
if
occasion
were
offred
)
by
his
place
(
I
speak
not
of
his
person
)
might
be
made
strong
to
doe
some
thing
.
If
king
Henry
the
eight
had
not
beene
wise
&
stout
,
it
is
to
bee
doubted
that
the
wiles
of
Stephen
Gardiner
,
&
the
pride
of
Cardinall
Woolsey
(
as
one
of
them
in
diuers
things
did
crosse
him
,
and
the
other
many
wayes
ledd
him
)
might
haue
very
greatly
endangered
him
and
his
countrey
.
If
you

,
The

What

that
the
Pope
hath
his
horse
readye

and
brydled
,
watching
but
the

to

.
For
if
Allin
that
filthy
traitor
,
and
such
lyke
,
had
not
bene
set
on
fire
with
the
loue
of
the
Sea
of
Canterbury
,
and
other
lyke
places
,
&
that
the
cannons
were
not
so
fit
for
popish
purposes
,
would
there
not
bee
a
great
deale
lesse
stomacke
in
those
men
,
to
venture
their
liues
,
and
very
vnhand
some
sitting
for
the
deadly
man
of
sinne
.
These
seas
and
Cathedrall
cloisters
,
are
fit
for
their
pompous
dwellings
,
and
the
cannon
lawe
is
the
foundation
of
his
throne
.
What
policye
can
there
bee
to
leaue
anye
thing
in
the
lande
which
might
either
encourage

or

,

the

and
howe
can
wee
long
hope
that
our

shall
stand
before
our

in

(
though
for
a
while
God

)
as
long
as

,

vs.
But
let
vs
goe
a
little
neerer
,
may
wee
not
see
that
these
offices
are
fitt
for
Papistes
,
whome
no
reward
(
if
we
beleue
D.
Parry
)
can
make
true
subiects
:
Read

of

Popish

,

Queens

.
may
they
not
be
civilians
,
and
doctors
of
the
cannon
law
?
may
they
not
be
Chancelors
,
and
L.
bishops
chief
counsellours
?
may
not
they
in
their
courtes
,
nay
doe
wee
not
see
them
daily
to
spare
and
wink
at
open
recusants
and
trouble
honeste
poore
men
,
and
especially
those
which
are
readiest
,
to
detecte
and
bewraye
their
disobedience
to
hir
Maiesty
?
So
the
very
order
and
nature
of
these
vnnatural
disorders
,
is
against
the
safety
of
hir
Maiestye
.
For
whatsoeuer
fostereth
the
fittest
instrumentes
,
to
obey
the
bulles
in
the
great
day
they
look
for
,
that
must
needes
bee
against
the
Queenes
Maicsties
safety
.
But
besides
that
before
said
,
there
is
an
other
thing
in
the
being
of
this
corrupt
church-gouernment
:
first
the
lack
of
teaching
of
youth
:
secondly
,
by
these
couloured
offices
a
man
may
haue
a
popish
schoole-maister
,
especially
if
he
can
semble
a
little
:
thirdly
,
when
some
are
secretlye
intised
and
wauereth
;
who
shall
resolue
them
?
the
vanity
of
some
,
and
the
ignorance
of
so
many
,
(
though
a
fewe
no
doubt
,
bee
well
able
and
meet
)
doth
so
driue
them
back
,
and
make
them
stumble
,
Christs
discipl
.
preventeth
revolters
from
his
Maiesties
obedience
.
that
hardly
can
you
heare
,
that
by
these
anye
bee
drawen
to
their
due
and
true
obedience
.
But
on
the
other
side
,
the
whole
frame
of
Gods
order
is
cleane
another
way
.
First
,
al
the
officers
and
cannons
,
horse
,
sadle
,
Discipline
after
Gods
word
and

is
taken
awaye
.
Secondly
,
a
learned
ministry
,
euery
way
to
write
obedience
in
their
heart
is
heere
seated
.
And
as
he
that
planteth
a
right
&
true
catholick
Papist
,
cannot
plant
any
other
,
but
a
traitor
in
hart
&
conscience
:
so
he
that
by
preaching
frameth
a
true
christian
,
cannot
but
frame
a
true
subject
in
hart
and
conscience
,
when
the
preaching
is
the
right
waye
to
make
true
Christians
,
many
revolters
may
bee
prevented
,
which
otherwise
swarme
and
grow
into
great
nombers

is
[

,
]
a
wrong
cause
,
that
for
lacke
of
preaching
the
euill
of
reuolting
hath
hapned
:
seing
it
was
not
so
,
or
so
much
in
King
Edwards
dayes
,
or
in
the
firste
ten
yeares
of
hir
Maiesties
raigne
,
when
we
had
not
half
so
much
preaching
and
a
thousande
lesse
preachers
:
but
the
true
cause
is
the
euill
hart
of
men
,
who
heare
the
word
of
God
vnreuerently
,
the
schisme
of
the
church
,
and
the
Diuel
taking
occasion
by
scisme
.
Whome
I
meekely
desire
to
consider
,
that
the
merciful
providence
of
God
,
might
,
did
,
and
doth
wonderfully
stay
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
when
it
pleaseth
him

even
without
&
contrary
to

yet
by
al
reason
,
seing
it
is
written
,
that
without
knowledge
the
minde
is
not
good
,
and
that
the
people
perish
,
where
the
vision
faileth
,
and
the
ordinarie
means
of
God
to
instruct
and
bring
into
the
way
of
truth
,
is
the
preaching
ministery
,
it
must
needs
followe
that
the
lack
heereof
is
some
cause
of
their
reuolting
and
backsliding
.
For
inquire
we
into
all
men
,
and
they
will
answere
,
so
we
did
,
because
so
we
wereledd
and
taught
.
And
though
the
wicked
hart
of
man
and
schisme
,
and
the
Diuell
be
great
occasions
,
and
sometimes
causes
of
suche
thinges
,
yet
the
power
of
preaching
&
the
due
administration
thereof
,
is
for
the
Queenes
Maiest
.
safety
is
the
means
to
preuent
and
bridle
al
these
:
as
may
appeare
,
in
that
the
preaching
is
ordained
to
open
the
eyes
of
the
people
,

that
they
may
turn
from
darknes
to

,
&
from
the

of

.
And
how
can
any
man
in
reason
thinke
,
that
teaching
men
obedience
&
truth
should
not
more
draw
them
to
obedience
and
truth
,
than
not
teaching
.
And
if
God
haue
ordained
it
to
do
it
,
why
should
not
the
want
of

bee
a
cause
,
that
it

out
at
random
for
lack
of
them
both
.
For
if
by
Gods
order
things
were
squared
,
where
were
the
scisme
,
and
the
dore
for
the
Diuell
:
where
doth
the
wolf
prevaile
,
but
where
the
shepe-heard
sleepeth
,
and
the
dogg
doth
not
bark
,
and
why
should
we
pray
the
lord
of
the
haruest
,
to
thrust
in
labourers
into
his
haruest
,
Mat
.
9.38
.
if
the
want
of
such
laborers
,
could
be
no
cause
of
harm
.
For
tryall
heereof
,
looke
on
the
country
and
parishes
where
preaching
is
by
a
standing
ministery
,
and
compare
them
with
other
,
I
could
name
some
place
of
two
thousand
communicantes
,
where
there
is
not
a
suspected
papist
,
and
hardly
shall
you
see
such
a
one
tary
in
such
a
place
,
except
it
be
in
hope
,
through
the
popish
disorders
,
to
driue
away
him
who
is
the
meanes
of
the
good
subiects
faithfull
hartes
.
Secondly
,
if
there
had
beene
an
Eldership
joined
with
such
a
ministery
,
think
you
that
there
could
haue
beene
so
manye
seduced
as
there
are
,
and
so
many
hanged
,
drawen
and
quartered
as
there
are
?
When
the
nature
of
our
disorders
doth
so
negligently
prouide
a
remedy
,
no
maruell
thoughe
the
Iesuites
preuaile
as
they
do
.
Add
hereunto
,
that
by
these
disorders
,
those
men
are
broughte
into
contempt
,
which
haue
written
most
for
hir
Maiesties
right
and
labored
with
most
profit
,
for
the
increase
of
good
harty
subiects
.
Heere
an
other
steppeth
foorth
and
saieth
,
that
in
stead
of
those
you
finde
fault
withall
,
you
would
haue
a
Pope
in
euery
parish
,
and
the
Queene
should
be
subiect
to
your
Pastor
,
and
that
by
the
discipline
,
the
just
power
of
hir
royall
magnificence
shal
be
abridged
,
&
in
that
sense
slaunder
vs
with
the
abuse
of
the
wordes
of
Esaye
,
Esay
.
49.23
.
that
Kings
and
Queenes
shall
worship
with
their
faces
to
the
earthe
,
and
licke
vp
the
duste
of
the
churches
feete
.
First
consider
,
that
to
be
a
Pope
ouer
one
Parish
,
Christs
discipl
.
diminisheth
not
the
Queenes
supremacy
.
is
farther
from
the
crowne
and
power
of
a
kingdom
,
than
an
Archb.
or
L.B.
ouer
many
parishes
and
shieres
,
yea
,
Metropolitane
of
all
England
:
And
yet
the
Pastour
hath
no
Papall
authority
to
doe
as
hee
listeth
,
but
hath
his
voyce
only
as
the
rest
,
1
Tim
.
4.14
.
Act.
20.28
.
1.
Cor
.
5.4
.
and
is
subiect
to
the
Eldership
.
Neither
can
he
excommunicat
without
the
consent
of
the
churche
:
but
as
Peter
and
Iohn
were
sent
by
the
Apostles
from
Ierusalem
,
Act.
8.14
.
&
cap
.
15.2.22
.
and
Paule
and
Barnabas
from
Antiochia
,
and
Iudas
&
Silas
to
Antiochia
were
sent
by
the
church
:
so
euery
pastor
is
subject
to
the
churche
and
censure
,
as
well
as
other
men
,
saue
onely
that
he
hath
an
office
that
euerye
man
cannot
haue
.
Then
it
is
a
slaunder
also
to
saye
,
that
we
make
hir
subiect
to
the
Pastor
,
for
whatsoeuer
authority
any
prince
can
haue
ouer
their
subiects
,
that
we
giue
vnto
hir
,
teaching
euery
soule
to
bee
subiecte
to
the
higher
power
,
neither
is
it
to
bee
feared
whiche
some
men
dreame
of
,
for
we
affirme
not
(
as
god
knoweth
)
that
the
homage
that
Esay
speaketh
of
,
is
of
anie
such
nature
,
that
hir
royall
crown
and
dignity
shoulde
bee
subiect
to
any
man
whatsoeuer
,
but
onelye
vnto
Christ
,
which
I
am
perswaded
hir
most
excellent
Majesty
most
freely
,
and
of
godlye
zeale
doeth
imbrace
:
Namely
,
that
Iesus
Christ
the
Lord
of
life
,
is
Lord
of
Lordes
,
and
King
of
Kings
,
and
that
his
lawes
are
to
bee
preferred
,
before
all
Princes
lawes
,
and
that
they
ought
to
bee
obedient
vnto
them
,
and
not
contrary
.
Heere
of
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
hir
Maiestye
counteth
it
no
subiection
to
kneele
down
in
the
presence
of
a
minister
in
prayer
to
God
,
to
heare
him
preach
,
and
admonish
hir
of
hir
duty
,
to
deliuer
to
hir
as
from
god
the
sacramentes
,
and
by
hir
royall
authoritye
to
command
and
enforce
all
hir
subiects
to
doe
the
like
,
and
in
all
other
things
to
submit
them selues
to
the
ordinance
of
Christ
:
and
in
doing
this
,
hir
royall
Maiestie
doth
greatly
honour
the
church
,
after
the
meaning
of
Esay
,
who
speaketh
in
a
borrowed
speech
from
earthly
potentates
,
to
shewe
the
obedience
and
honour
of
Princes
to
Christ
in
the
churche
,
and
their
care
to
aduance
his
church
.
So
then
,
heerin
hir
highnesse
worshipping
God
after
his
owne
Lawe
,
and
thereby
making
hir self
as
a
member
of
the
church
and
not
head
,
and
reputing
Christ
onely
for
heade
,
to
whome
in
all
things
she
giueth
homage
,
and
taking
hir self
only
vnder
him
as
chiefe
governour
ouer
all
hir
people
,
to
see
euery
man
,
aswel
church-officers
as
others
,
to
do
their
duty
according
to
Gods
law
,
hauing
the
lawful
sword
to
punish
them
that
do
it
not
,
&
to
defend
their
churches
in
their
right
,
doeth
leese
no
one
little
iote
of
hir
princely
supremacye
,
Rom.
13.1.2
.
for
she
hath
the
honour
of
the
building
of
the
Temple
with
Salomon
,
2.
Chron

:
1.
Chron
.
28.11
,
12.39
.
to
see
by
hir
royall
authority
euery
thing
done
according
to
the
paterne
of
God
,
and
the
Priests
and
Leuites
to
take
their
courses
as
God
hath
appointed
,
2.

and
with
Ioash
to
command
the
Priestes
to
looke
to
the
repairing
of
the
temple
,
and
to
proclaime
in
hir
dominions
,
that
men
shal
do
after
the
law
of
Moses
,
and
by
hir
authoritye
with
Iehosaphat
to
set
the
Priestes
and
Leuites
,
2.
Chron
.
19.8
.
and
of
the
chief
of
the
families
,
for
the
judgement
and
cause
of
the
Lord
:
&
for
the
establishing
of
hir
supreame
magnificence
aboue
all
persons
,
the
Lorde
will
giue
vnto
the
harts
of
al
sorts
of
people
to
do
hir
commandement
,
&
of
the
rulers
vnder
hir
,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
as
he
did
for
the
aduancement
of
the
throne
of
Ezechias
:
2.
Chro
.
30.6.12.16
.
so
that
by
his
direction
and
commission
,
the
Priestes
and
Leuites
did
sanctifie
themselues
,
to
stand
in
their
places
after
the
manner
according
to
the
lawe
of
Moses
the
man
of
God
.
Out
of
all
which
I
gather
,
that
the
discipline
hindreth
not
,
but
that
by
hir
supreame
authoritye
she
may
compell
all
the
people
to
keepe
the
commandement
of
God
,
and
the
ministers
to
be
,
and
do
,
after
the
law
of
Christ
his
sonne
.
And
by
hir
commission
she
may
haue
,
as
she
hath
already
,
rulers
and
officers
in
euery
shire
and
great
towne
,
as
commissioners
in
causes
Ecclesiastical
,
to
be
as
it
were
,
hir
eyes
,
eares
,
and
hands
,
to
hearken
after
the
due
and
orderly
proceedings
of
the
ministers
,
Elderships
,
and
Synods
:
to
compell
them
to
doe
euerye
thing
after
Gods
word
,
by
ciuil
authority
:
and
if
need
be
,
to
punish
them
which
handle
Gods
holy
thinges
out
of
order
,
and
to
force
the
people
to
bee
obedient
vnto
the
ordinance
of
Christ
Iesus
:
so
that
she
still
shall
remaine
ouer
all
persons
,
in
all
things
supreame
gouernesse
,
(
and
hir self
,
vnder
none
,
but
God
in
his
sonne
Iesus
Christ
)
in
that
full
and
royall
authority
,
superiority
,
preeminence
,
supremacy
&
prerogatiue
,
which
the
Lawes
already
established
do
nowe
giue
vnto
hir
,
and
hir
Maiesties
iniunctions
,
and
the
articles
of
the
Convocation
house
,
&
other
writings
Apologeticall
of
hir
royall
authority
and
supreame
dignitye
,
doe
declare
and
explane
.
Now
I
say
,
seeing
hir
highnes
doth
acknowledge
Christ
to
be
hir
heade
,
and
renounceth
the
Pope
,
is
it
not
for
hir
safety
,
by
hir
authority
to
set
vp
that
which
remaineth
of
Christs
moste
holy
lawes
,
and
to
bannish
all
the
Popes
cannons
?
May
not
hir
princely
minde
perceaue
it
to
bee
so
,
if
she
remember
that
it
is
said
of
Christ
:
By
me
Kings
raigne
,
Prou.
8.15.16
.
and
princes
decree
justice
:
by
me
princes
rule
,
and
the
nobles
and
all
the
judges
of
the
earth
.
An
other
reason
may
be
drawen
from
the
common
effectes
of
the
church
gouernment
.
For
if
it
be
true
,
Christs
discipl
.
maketh
learned
and
good
men
,
therefore
it
is
best
for
a
monarch
or
king
.
that
a
certaine
Politick
counsellour
gaue
to
a
heathen
Emperour
,
Omnes
imperiti
&
vitiosi
,
bono
Principi
suspecti
esse
debent
:
that
a
good
Prince
may
suspecte
&
stand
in
feare
of
al
ignorant
and
wicked
men
:
then
seing
that
both
heauen
and
earth
do
witnesse
,
that
our
soveraigne
is
a
good
prince
,
that
church-government
which
breedeth
moste
learned
and
good
men
is
best
,
and
surest
for
hir
safety
.
What
our
disorders
do
breed
all
the
world
seeth
,
it
maintaineth
blinde
guides
,
how
can
it
make
a
learned
people
?
and
howe
wicked
men
doe
shrowde
them selues
vnder
them
,
this
one
thing
may
stande
in
stead
of
many
:
that
partly
by
colour
of
Law
,
they
can
so
molest
a
good
man
that
would
teach
them
and
make
them
good
,
and
partly
by
commutation
of
pennance
,
licenses
,
dispensations
and
tollerations
,
any
euill
man
especially
if
hee
be
rich
,
can
tell
howe
to
escape
their
slender
cob-webs
well
enough
,
that
men
are
discouraged
from
presenting
or
dealing
any
way
against
wicked
men
.
And
let
a
good
minister
once
suffer
a
harlot
to
be
presented
,
she
is
so
reformed
that
she
wil
haue
two
or
three
bastards
on
in
an
others
neck
,
doe
the
minister
and
the
parish
what
they
can
to
the
contrary
.
But
how
such
should
or
might
be
scourged
out
,
with
the
through
preaching
of
the
Gospel
in
euery
church
,
&
the
good
vse
of
the
disciplin
of
Christ
,
and
knowledge
and
wisedome
planted
in
mans
heart
,
it
may
appeare
by
this
,
that
for
ciuill
,
wise
,
and
good
behauiour
,
compare
them
which
are
vnder
continual
teaching
of
Pastors
,
with
them
that
be
further
remoued
,
you
shall
finde
a
great
difference
.
And
how
can
it
choose
but
nourish
learning
,
when
the
wisdome
of
the
word
shineth
in
euery
church
,
by
a
standing
Pastor
,
and
Teacher
?
Will
it
not
inflame
mens
heartes
,
with
the
bewty
thereof
?
There
shall
you
see
yong
&
olde
called
from
blindenes
to
light
,
from
wickednesse
to
vertue
and
piety
:
must
it
not
needs
turne
a
great
manye
more
,
where
it
wanteth
?
Consider
what
M.
Fox
saieth
of
M.
Thomas
Bilney
of
Hadley
,
Booke
of
mart
.
pag
.
445.
that
the
same
churche
seemed
in
his
time
,
rather
to
bee
lyke
an
Vniversity
,
than
a
poore
towne
of
clothing
.
Tel
me
whether
a
Non-resident
,
or
idle
&
dumb
minister
can
or
hath
done
the
lyke
?
and
verely
when
men
know
their
duties
to
hir
Maiesty
,
it
is
the
waye
to
make
them
doe
it
:
but
if
they
be
not
taught
,
how
shall
they
know
.
But
of
all
others
,
Christs
discipl
.
an
enemy
to
flat
terers
,
who
spoile
good
rulers
.
I
finde
that
flatterers
are
reported
of
some
to
be
most
dangerous
to
the
safty
of
a
prince
,
as
in
the
life
of
Alexander
the
great
,
when
hee
delte
hardly
with
them
that
tolde
him
the
truth
,
&
yeelded
to
flattery
,
to
beare
the
reputation
of
lupiters
sonne
,
he
was
neuer
without
one
treason
,
or
tumult
or
another
,
and
in
the
ende
,
(
as
some
esteeme
)
poysoned
.
Now
the
disorders
of
our
church
,
what
are
they
,
but
a
very
masse
of
flattery
,
and
a
pit
that
casteth
out
flatterers
:
for
while
men
contrary
to
their
own
knowlege
say
all
is
well
,
and
there
is
nothing
contrary
to
Gods
word
,
and
that
by
subscription
and
other
means
,
they
would
driue
men
to
allow
of
euery
thing
,
&
that
this
by
order
is
so
,
that
a
man
were
better
to
sweare
or
lie
,
(
which
are
manifest
breaches
of
Gods
morall
Lawe
)
then
to
breake
one
of
these
traditions
,
is
not
this
to
make
vs
,
not
onely
secure
,
but
to
thinke
that
even
the
law
of
God
is
not
comparable
to
ours
.
How
may
this
indanger
a
vertuous
Prince
;
if
the
Lorde
by
his
grace
did
not
vphold
hir
?
Againe
,
if
it
bee
suspected
that
a
man
doe
meane
to
speake
plainly
,
and
truly
before
hir
Maiesty
,
is
there
not
order
prouided
by
our
disorders
and
for
their
maintenance
,
that
if
it
bee
possible
suche
shall
not
come
in
place
?
Lastly
,
those
great
dignities
and
spirituall
promotions
may
easilye
beget
flatterers
.
Mee
thinketh
I
see
a
further
sore
heere
,
than
I
can
handsomely
expresse
.
I
praye
God
to
deliuer
hir
Majestie
from
all
flattering
,
lying
,
and
deceatfull
tongues
.
One
thing
more
there
is
which
maketh
for
the
honour
and
safety
of
our
noble
Lady
&
mistresse
:
namely
,
that
by
this
meanes
when
al
thinges
shall
bee
reformed
by
Gods
word
,
Christs
disciplin
furthereth
the
league
with
religious
Princes
.
as
it
is
certain
that
she
cannot
haue
more
hatred
than
she
already
hath
of
the
wicked
,
so
the
Christian
princes
of
al
parts
wil
be
a
great
deale
the
surer
,
and
the
league
with
them
the
more
certaine
,
and
that
which
is
more
,
many
wil
be
drawne
by
hir
example
,
being
a
monarch
,
and
a
mighty
people
,
to
go
forwarde
in
religion
:
Christs
holy
Discipline
for
all
wise
and
good
potentates
,
must
needs
think
,
that
this
christian
Lady
and
Queen
increaseth
much
in
zeale
,
wisedome
&
courage
,
and
her
people
growe
in
the
feare
of
God
,
and
constancie
in
religion
:
therefore
is
it
our
best
to
make
much
of
her
and
her
people
,
&
it
is
a
shame
for
vs
if
we
should
not
be
as
forward
in
zeale
,
and
as
valiant
in
the
cause
of
God
,
as
a
woman
&
mayden
Queene
.
Howe
much
wil
these
and
such
like
thoughts
and
speches
turne
to
her
immortal
fame
,
&
present
safty
?
for
if
it
were
honorable
to
king
Iosias
,
from
age
to
age
,
more
&
more
to
establish
religion
in
the
purity
thereof
:
and
that
Solomon
was
noe
longer
honorable
and
safe
,
then
he
kept
the
same
rule
:
howe
much
more
shal
it
be
for
her
renown
and
safety
,
to
deale
more
wisely
then
Solomon
the
wisest
,
and
to
be
as
zealous
as
Iosias
,
who
was
for
zeale
as
highly
commended
as
euer
any
.
And
here
fal
down
two
vayne
&
fond
reasons
,
Christes
discipline
no
hazard
to
her
majestie
,
nor
Argument
of
inconstancie
if
she
set
it
vp
.
that
if
she
shoulde
reforme
the
Church
,
she
should
be
reputed
inconstant
,
and
purchase
greater
hatred
:
for
hatred
,
can
there
be
greater
then
to
seeke
her
life
,
and
to
robbe
her
of
her
crowne
and
dignitie
?
this
hath
bin
sought
after
(
al
the
worlde
knoweth
)
by
hatred
,
and
can
there
be
greater
by
discipline
?
al
wise
men
wil
alsoe
thinke
that
inconstancie
is
in
going
backwarde
,
&
not
in
going
forwarde
.
Luk

.
It
is
inconstancie
to
begin
abuilding
and
not
to
make
an
end
if
one
be
able
:
and
not
to
finish
a
good
worke
well
begone
is
inconstancye
,
but
this
is
the
very
nature
of
a
christian
,
to
growe
from
faith
to
faith
from
strength
to
strength
,
and
from
vertue
to
vertue
,
that
we
may
appeare
before
GOD
in

.
Concerning
the
nobillitie
and
comminaltye
of
this
land
,
is
good
for
Nobil

&
Com
.
The
third
special
reason
.
there
is
a
greate
cause
both
for
the
one
and
the
other
,
to
seek
after
discipline
as
God
commandeth
it
:
first
the
one
leseth
a
right
in
ciuil
offices
,
&
functions
,
Christes
disciplin
giueth
the
right
to
the
nobilitie
&
cominaltie
.
for
when
it
appertaineth
not
to
the
ecclesiastical
functions
to
medle
with
workes
meere
ciuill
,
as
is
before
declared
,
then
doe
they
vsurpe
vppon
the
temporall
estate
,
to
medle
with
these
callings
,
which
must
needs
be
an
injury
,
and
therefore
in
times
past
(
as
lawyars
say
)
there
haue
bin
diuers
lawes
made
to
bridle
this
insolencie
,
and
it
is
a
matter
punishable
at
the
sessions
,
if
they
medle
with
any
subject

to

him
before
them
or
to
put
him
to
an
oth
,
otherwise
then
in
causes
matrimonial
,
and
of
restament
,
but
if
they
do
not
onely
beare
vppon
their
shoulder
the
commission
of
peace
and
other
great
commissions
,
but
also
in
their
spiritual
courts
against
lawe
,
call
her
majesties
subjects
before
them
in
matters
which
pertain
to
the
ciuil
judges
,
then
it
doth
appeare
that
such
disorderly
gouernment
is
not
to
be
suffered
,
as
a
thing
plainly
injurious
to
the
nobillitie
,
and
comminaltie
:
besides
,
that
howsoeuer
peraduenture
some
godly
Princes
haue
reposed
greate
trust
in
such
persons
,
yet
is
it
a
greate
dishonor
to
the
nobilitie
and
gentillitie
of
this
land
,
that
there
coulde
not
be
wise
and
honest
men
ynoughe
founde
out
amongest
them
to
deale
in
ciuil
causes
,
but
that
ministers
must
be
taken
from
the
studye
of
diuinitye
wherwith
they
ought
to
beautifie
the
Church
,
to
the
studie
of
lawe
and
executing
of
commissions
,
for
they
which
by
the
nature
of
their
calling
,
and
manner
of
bringing
vp
,
they
are
most
vnfit
.
Christs
discip
.
affordeth
to
al
sortes
godly
&
lerned
techers
.
And
how
can
a
christian
man
delight
in
that
gouernment
,
which
by
the
nature
thereof
,
wil
take
out
of
his
chappel
a
learned
wise
and
zealous
minister
,
whome
he
knoweth
to
be
honest
and
of
good
conuersation
,
Christs
holy
Discipline
is
good
and
mainteine
in
other
places
such
as
are
cleane
otherwise
,
may
not
al
the
cominaltie
haue
litle
delight
in
that
dissipline
,
which
in
one
yeare
coulde
stop
the
mouthes
of
a
hundreth
godly
and
faithful
preachers
,
and
not
in
thirty
yeares
to
roote
out
thirty
blinde
guides
,
otherwise
then
nature
it selfe
and
the
meere
blessing
of
God
hath
afforded
?
Christes
discipline
excomunicateth
none
for
trifles
.
Can
they
delight
in
that
which
contrary
to
lawe
can
cal
them
for
euery
trifle
,
&
excommunicat
them
,
which
is
to
deliuer
them
to
the
Diuel
,
if
they
doe
not
appeare
?
I
will
not
here
vse
such
tearmes
which
my
matter
and
proposition
requireth
,
because
I
see
the
people
in
their
wound
,
and
it
is
not
good
to
stirr
and
cherish
an
il
sore
,
but
rather
to
heale
it
,
in
as
much
as
God
hath
appointed
an
other
way
.
Therefore
we
lye
here
at
her
majesties
feet
,
crauing
,
begging
,
&
humbly
suing
,
that
shee
woulde
looke
wel
vnto
her selfe
,
tender
the
honor
of
her
nobillitie
,
and
haue
compassion
vpon
her
poore
people
,
who
for
lack
of
Christes
holy
dissipline
,
haue
greate
cause
to
doubt
of
her
safetie
,
and
to
feare
their
own
miserie
,
and
to
suspect
the
present
happines
.
What
a
godly
thing
were
it
,
Christes
discipline
good
for
children
,
and
most
equal
and
just
for
al
persons
.
that
the
nobility
&
cominaltie
had
some
helpe
in
every
place
by
a
learned
ministerie
,
euen
in
the
infancie
of
their
children
,
to
breede
that
feare
of
god
,
which
might
preuent
worse
matters
,
which
we
see
come
to
passe
when
the
raines
are
layed
loose
in
their
neckes
,
and
there
hath
bin
litle
dissipline
?
What
a
comforte
were
it
that
a
man
might
be
sure
,
no
licenses
could
steale
away
his
daughter
,
&
what
ease
were
it
for
the
people
,
and
readines
to
find
out
the
truth
and
perfection
for
justice
?
that
in
causes
ecclesiastical
a
man
might
be
censured
in
the
Church
where
he
liueth
:
for
Nobilitie
and
Commi
.
the
wicked
coulde
not
beare
it
out
with
chaunging
or
perjurye
,
neither
woulde
the
innocent
be
so
soone
oppressed
(
as
touching
the
nature
of
the
thing
,
I
speake
not
of
the
person
)
but
euery
one
shoulde
haue
occasion
to
be
delt
withal
according
to
sight
,
rightly
and
honestly
.
Now
we
are
to
consider
of
the
times
of
peace
&
war
,
here
one
speaketh
soughtly
&
sayth
,
The
4.
speciall
reason
.
if
your
majestie
shoulde
set
vp
dissipline
,
you
shoulde
haue
present
rebellion
.
What
might
this
man
haue
sayd
vnto
Luther
,
a
poore
simple
Fryar
,
1518.
that
set
vppe
the
Gospel
almost
vnder
the
Alpes
of
Itallie
,
which
remaineth
so
steady
,
that
al
the
power
of
princes
cannot
take
it
away
:
and
when
diuers
Popes
who
sought
his
life
,
and
that
with
strong
hand
,
died
,
he
liued
an
olde
man
and
ended
his
dayes
peaceably
.
No
reason
to
feare
rebellion
by
setting
vp
of
discipline
.
In
the
entrance
of
her
highnes
gratious
raigne
,
there
was
more
pollicy
in
reason
,
to
haue
soe
objected
against
the
setting
vp
of
the
Gospel
,
but
nowe
God
be
thanked
,
the
case
is
altered
,
as
I
haue
before
shewed
,
I
doe
not
doubt
but
that
the
liuely
fayth
,
which
her
good
&
princely
hart
hath
in
Christ
Iesus
,
and
that
royal
magnanimitie
which
she
hath
alwayes
shewed
,
if
she
might
be
let
to
see
the
certaine
truth
of
the
venerable
doctrine
of
Christs
discipline
,
would
easily
perswade
her
that
she
could
not
doubt
,
but
haue
as
good
successe
with
this
,
as
with
the
first
,
&
the
long
experience
of
Gods
merciful
and
assured
protection
,
nowe
in
a
time
lesse
dangerous
,
woulde
make
a
matter
of
so
great
necessitie
,
to
be
cheerefully
sought
for
,
and
spedilye
put
in
practise
.
Moses
first
brought
the
people
out
of
Egipt
,
after
he
declared
the
lawe
,
and
lastly
erected
the
tabernacle
,
so
I
doe
not
doubt
,
but
as
God
hath
mightely
blessed
her
in
the
two
first
,
The
Church
gouernment
of
Christ
hee
will
as
greatly
honour
her
in
the
last
.
But
mee
thinketh
this
man
in
this
case
misseth
the
true
rules
of
pollicie
,
The
Papistes
looke
for
achaunge
soe
longe
as
we
want
Christes
holy
discipline
.
for
where
the
Papists
are
so
full
of
plots
,
is
it
not
because
they
are
in
hope
that
things
will
change
?
and
why
do
they
hope
?
but
because
they
beholde
the
image
of
their
father
the
Pope
and
hys
markes
:
they
thinke
he
is
not
so
gone
,
but
that
if
they
did
their
duty
,
he
might
returne
.
Therefore
they
are
busie
,
and
many
nets
are
spread
for
the
feet
of
our
inno
cent
Princesse
(
whom
God
blesse
and
maintaine
)
and
engins
of
diuers
forts
are
made
to
breake
in
sunder
our
peace
.
Will
you
bee
without
feare
?
With
all
speed
,
and
yet
with
wisedome
and
vnderstanding
,
set
vp
Discipline
&
reformation
that
is
amisse
after
Gods
booke
,
Psal
.
122.3
.
&
48.5
.
and
you
shal
see
their
hope
wil
be
turned
into
feare
,
they
will
see
Ierusalem
so
to
be
built
,
as
a
Cittie
at
vnitie
in
it selfe
,
that
when
they
behold
it
,
they
will
marueill
and
be
astonied
,
and
suddenly
driuen
backe
.
Thus
was
it
with
the
people
of
God
after
their
captiuitie
:
they
neuer
had
quietnes
till
Nehemias
that
worthie
Prince
arose
,
who
though
hee
were
neuer
so
much
put
in
fear
,
that
he
was
driuen
to
cause
the
people
to
work
with
one
hand
,
&
hold
the
weapon
with
the
other
,
Nehem
.

.
yet
he
neuer
ceased
til
he
had
finished
the
wal
,
&
made
all
things
in
his
order
about
Ierusalen
.
Wherof
,
when
al
the
enemies
did
hear
,
euen
all
the
heathen
that
were
round
about
,
they
were
afraid
,
and
their
corage
failed
them
,
for
they
knewe
that
this
worke
was
wrought
by
God
,
and
shall
wee
,
who
by
her
gracious
and
godly
gouernment
,
are
brought
out
of
the
spirituall
Babilon
,
into
the
fellowship
of
the
Citizens
and
saints
of
God
,
doubt
more
of
his
blessing
,
if
we
should
striue
to
garnishe
gods
Citie
with
this
goodlye
wall
of
Ecclesiasticall
Discipline
?
maintaineth
peace
.
should
not
all
Papistes
be
forced
to
say
,
that
the
Lord
hath
done
this
?
especially
now
,
when
he
hath
so
wonderfully
driuen
backe
our
enemies
.
Iehosophat
after
that
hee
had
escaped
in
the
battaile
where
Ahab
was
slaine
,
and
had
bene
admonished
by
Iehu
the
sonne
of
Hananie
the
Seer
,
for
taking
part
with
the
wicked
,
gaue
himselfe
to
reformation
,
and
not
onely
in
Iuda
,
but
euen
from
Beer
sheba
to
mount
Ephraim
,
hee
brought
the
people
againe
to
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers
.
What
folowed
?
could
there
any
preuaile
against
him
?
No
no
:
It
is
written
,
that
the
feare
of
God
was
vpon
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
earth
,
when
they
had
hard
that
the
Lord
had
fought
against
the
enemies
of
Israell

so
the
kingdome
of
Iehoshaphat
was
quiet
,
and
his
God
gaue
him
rest
on
euerie
side
.
Shall
wee
thinke
that
the
Lordes
hand
is
shortned
,
if
we
be
as
zealous
as
he
?
Exod

10.26
.
Moses
would
not
leaue
a
hoofe
behind
him
in
Egypt
:
did
he
speed
any
whit
the
worse
in
the
end
?
and
shall
we
thinke
that
if
some
Achitophel
shoulde
fortifie
some
wicked
Absalom
,
to
resist
his
liege
Ladye
and
peaceable
mother
;
that
God
woulde
not
stir
vp
a
thousand
Hushais
to
ouerthrowe
all
his
counsailes
?
Let
vs
remember
wherein
our
peace
consisteth
,
and
the
strength
thereof
:
is
it
not
in
seruing
of
God
,
and
walking
in
his
commandements
,
and
putting
our
trust
in
his
mercy
?
Then
must
wee
take
heede
of
all
those
Baalamites
,
who
vnder
pretence
of
preuenting
rebellion
,
giue
craftie
counsail
for
the
diuell
:
to
make
vs
carelesse
,
in
our
dutie
towards
God
,
that
when
wee
refuse
to
goe
forward
,
wee
might
fall
backward
:
and
then
God
proclaime
warre
against
vs

,
if

then
will
I
vtterly
destroy
and
plucke
vp
that
nation
.
And
againe
,
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked
saith
my
God
.
So
was
it
with
Ieroboam
,
who
to
establishe
his
kingdome
ouer
the
ten
tribes
to
himselfe
and
his
posteritie
:
he
altered
the
precepts
of
God
and
made
two
Calues
,
the
one
in
Dan
,
and
the
other
in
Bethell
,
least
the
people
going
vp
to
worship
at
Ierusalem
after
Gods
lawe
,
should
rebell
and
fall
away
from
him
:
but
this
turned
to
bee
such
a
sinne
,
that
it
rooted
out
his
house
,
&
many
other
houses
after
him
,
and
in
the
end
,
the
whole
ten
tribes
,
whereof
hee
was
king
,
were
spued
out
of
that
land
,
soe
dangerous
athing
it
is
to
chuse
that
pollicie
,
which
is
against
gods
lawe
and
commaundement
.
Nowe
in
peace
as
one
saith
,
Christs
Discipline
is
for
the
wealth
and
honour
of
the
realme
.
small
things
are
made
great
,
riches
&
honour
are
multiplied
.
Let
vs
see
whether
these
disorders
doe
not
maintaine
the
contrary
,
I
cannot
say
but
God
hath
blessed
vs
in
our
peace
with
both
,
and
yet
I
must
say
,
that
the
state
of
our
churches
and
church
gouernement
is
rather
a
hinderer
.
First
there
lacketh
that
orderly
seeing
to
the
poore
which
were
expedient
,
and
men
for
the
most
part
are
left
to
them selues
,
so
that
by
idlenes
and
libertie
,
great
pouettie
are
among
vs
,
which
fal
into
many
noisome
thinges
,
which
might
very
well
be
amended
by
Christes
discipline
.
Secondlye
there
are
among
vs
,
suffered
&
nourished
by
order
in
Cathedral
churches
a
cloister
of
idle
men
,
who
liuing
vpon
the
goods
of
the
Church
and
Common
wealth
,
do
litle
or
no
seruice
for
the
same
.
It
is
a
heauy
burthen
in
a
common
wealth
to
suffer
men
to
liue
in
pleasure
and
ease
like
oxen
in
a
stall
,
to
doe
almost
no
labour
.
For
most
of
these
(
I
wil
not
say
all
)
doe
litle
or
nothing
,
as
by
the
nature
of
this
order
they
are
occasioned
:
Is
not
this
to
be
amended
?
they
wil
say
they
are
rewardes
of
learning
,
but
it
is
scarce
good
pollicy
(
as
I
take
it
)
that
when
men
haue
learning
,
they
shoulde
be
maintained
to
idlenes
,
and
put
their
learning
to
no
vse
.
But
they
do
preach
,
that
is
to
saye
,
some
of
them
sometimes
doe
preach
,
and
some
do
hier
others
to
preach
for
them
.
But
to
looke
neerely
to
the
thing
,
one
man
may
do
as
much
as
all
the
orders
of
the
house
(
in
the
place
of
the
house
)
do
require
.
Then
if
one
of
necessitie
should
be
there
,
all
the
rest
of
the
liuings
might
well
bee
spared
for
the
helping
of
churches
which
haue
smal
liuings
,
and
to
further
the
encrease
of
learning
.
But
as
touching
honor
,
it
may
be
that
they
would
say
,
that
wee
should
loose
one
estate
,
and
so
the
Common-wealth
decaied
in
wealth
and
honour
.
The
honour
of
a
Common-wealth
standeth
,
not
in
an
estate
which
is
of
an
other
nature
,
but
in
the
honourable
and
wise
cariage
of
true
Common-wealth
men
,
counsellours
,
Iudges
,
Iustices
and
Captaines
.
Now
when
their
liuing
should
bee
imployed
to
better
vses
,
it
would
bee
a
greater
honour
,
and
riches
of
more
profitable
encrease
.
This
would
(
say
they
)
turne
to
the
domage
of
the
common
treasure
,
which
by
first
fruits
in
the
remooue
of
L
.
Bb
.
and
Cathedrall
Prelates
,
is
somewhat
augmented
.
Not
a
whit
:
for
if
it
were
so
that
the
money
should
be
caried
out
of
the
land
,
as
in
times
past
it
hath
bin
to
that
powling
Citie
of
Rome
,
then
it
were
something
that
were
said
,
but
seeing
it
is
to
bee
bestowed
in
the
land
,
it
can
be
no
losse
.
For
in
the
conuaiance
,
that
benefite
might
be
reserued
:
yet
I
pray
you
,
how
did
out
treasure
hold
out
,
when
that
a
great
deale
more
was
wanting
,
which
hath
come
in
within
these
80.
yeares
.
If
our
forefathers
in
blindnes
,
thought
nothing
to
much
for
the
Churches
aduauncement
,
neither
almost
had
any
ende
in
giuing
their
lands
and
goods
that
way
,
shall
wee
thinke
that
God
cannot
another
way
blesse
vs
as
much
,
if
we
parted
from
alitle
,
for
the
competent
and
decent
erecting
of
his
ministery
?
but
God
be
thanked
,
the
Common-wealth
(
as
I
hope
)
may
the
rather
be
encreased
:
for
if
things
be
wisely
handled
,
the
Ministery
may
bee
well
and
decently
maintained
,
and
yet
there
wil
arise
such
a
portion
of
good
lands
,
to
be
bestowed
at
her
Maiesties
pleasure
,
as
may
make
a
large
recompence
by
a
yearely
certaintie
,
and
this
will
be
a
great
deale
more
honor
to
our
Common-wealth
,
to
haue
Gods
house
well
and
rightly
built
,
and
his
seruants
comely
entertained
,
then
for
the
making
of
one
L.B.
vnnecessarily
,
there
should
be
a
hundreth
Bb.
beside
to
the
realme
,
1.
Tim
.

.
as
poore
almost
as
beggers
.
It
would
be
more
honor
&
wealth
to
the
realm
,
then
to
maintain
a
sort
of
idle
,
red
or
blew
coats
,
to
haue
in
euery
parish
,
an
honest
,
&
learned
B.
who
in
a
competent
liuing
would
feed
the
poore
,
and
by
giuing
and
lending
,
keepe
many
a
good
Subject
in
heart
,
that
he
might
be
able
to
serue
his
Prince
in
time
of
need
.
In
time
of
peace
,
Christes
discipline
cutteth
of
contention
.
a
great
waster
of
prosperity
is
contention
and
strife
,
and
many
houses
lie
wast
by
such
inordinate
iarring
and
suites
of
lawe
:
here
to
let
passe
howe
many
suits
are
bred
and
fed
by
these
disorders
,
as
about
aduowsons
,
priuiledges
and
presentments
.
This
one
thing
wil
shew
the
excellency
of
discipline
,
for
the
wealth
of
the
Realme
and
quiet
of
subiectes
,
that
the
Church
is
to
censure
such
a
party
,
who
is
apparantly
troublesome
and
contentious
,
and
without
reasonable
cause
,
and
vpon
a
meere
will
and
stomack
doth
vex
and
molest
his
brother
,
&
trouble
the
countrie
.
And
the
daily
showring
dew
of
the
preaching
of
peace
,
will
bring
foorth
many
counsellours
of
peace
,
and
many
,
when
they
see
that
such
a
thing
is
vncomlie
,
and
to
bee
answered
before
the
Church
,
will
bee
well
aduised
what
suits
they
take
in
hand
.
Thus
when
the
authoritie
of
the
Churche
and
good
preaching
,
cutteth
asunder
the
cords
of
discord
,
men
must
needs
increase
in
wealth
,
and
so
at
all
times
shall
bee
able
to
beare
any
burthen
that
the
Common-wealth
shal
require
,
and
this
will
bee
a
great
deale
better
,
then
if
the
treasure
lay
vnprofitably
and
without
vse
in
Coffers
,
and
to
the
honor
of
the
Realme
farre
more
excellent
,
when
men
shall
be
in
all
places
,
found
able
to
relieue
themselues
and
other
.
Now
as
concerning
warres
,
The
5.
speciall
reason
.
wee
may
learne
of
the
children
of
this
world
,
that
it
is
the
best
pollicy
to
aduaunce
the
Lords
holy
Discipline
,
and
that
as
well
in
the
preparation
for
warre
,
as
in
the
time
of
war
it selfe
.
This
doth
altogether
further
our
estate
.
The
Bb.
of
Rome
haue
Seminaries
erected
,
for
the
training
vp
of
yong
men
in
their
abhominable
errors
,
out
of
which
,
as
out
of
the
dragons
mouth
,
there
go
these
vncleane
frogs
the
Iesuits
and
Seminary
Priests
,
who
go
about
as
it
were
,
by
night
closely
and
secretly
croking
,
at
the
consciences
of
her
Maiesties
subjectes
,
to
bring
them
from
their
dutifull
obedience
and
subjection
.
Now
in
warre
it
is
an
ordinarye
pollicye
to
haue
a
countermine
,
because
the
enemie
most
commonly
vseth
to
vndermine
where
he
cannot
wel
come
nere
in
fight
.
So
if
we
had
Discipline
,
and
euery
Parish
his
learned
Pastor
,
these
creeping
crokers
would
be
so
narrowlie
looked
vnto
,
Discipline
after
Gods
word
Christes
disciplin
forest
aleth
all
sedition
and
rebellion
.
that
they
could
not
haue
any
hole
to
hide
their
heads
:
and
the
people
,
would
be
so
wel
instructed
in
the
knowledge
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
,
and
of
their
duty
to
their
true
Soueraigne
,
that
al
the
frogs
in
those
moorish
Seminaries
,
should
not
be
able
once
to
moue
them
,
and
by
this
meanes
,
so
prepared
for
war
,
if
neede
be
,
that
whereas
nowe
there
go
a
great
many
only
with
their
bodies
,
and
some
only
of
a
naturall
loue
to
their
Countrey
,
then
would
they
goe
with
a
resolute
iudgement
,
and
of
conscience
to
God
,
they
would
willingly
do
any
seruice
,
and
that
,
which
in
this
case
is
not
small
,
they
would
not
so
easily
bee
drawen
after
any
great
man
,
or
meane
man
,
to
sedition
and
rebellion
.
For
how
ignoraunt
men
,
are
like
children
carried
with
euery
winde
,
all
state
men
do
vnderstand
.
Therefore
,
seeing
as
is
already
prooued
,
and
al
men
by
too
too
lamentable
experience
may
knowe
,
that
the
nature
of
our
Church
gouernement
,
as
it
is
now
vnperfect
,
doth
very
slowly
bring
forth
,
true
resolute
christian
men
of
knowledge
:
we
may
easily
perceiue
,
that
it
is
dangerous
for
the
state
to
suffer
it
in
the
Common-wealth
,
and
to
let
the
church
bee
ouer
run
with
such
carelesse
and
blind
guides
.
Besides
this
,
Quietnes
in
charges
for
war
commeth
by
Christes
holy
discipline
,
and
wiling
soldiers
.
when
men
haue
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
,
what
is
fit
for
Gods
glory
,
and
their
duty
at
such
a
time
:
they
will
not
murmure
and
grudge
at
euery
trifling
charge
,
which
commeth
to
passe
,
for
the
supplie
of
the
warres
,
but
willingly
and
cherefully
,
do
any
thing
that
may
become
good
Subiectes
,
in
cases
of
necessity
:
But
what
I
see
both
in
this
,
and
in
the
other
for
lacke
of
good
teachers
,
maketh
my
heart
to
bleede
,
and
my
pen
cannot
vtter
.

Who
went

as
he
sought

vnderstood

but
when
his
heart
was
lifted
vp
,
&
he
presumed
to
break
the
order
that
God
had
appointed
in
his
Church
,
hee
became
a
pittifull
leaper
,
and
so
for
his
transgression
,
lost
his
great
honour
,
which
he
had
of

See
then
,
that
it
is
good
pollicy
,
for
prouision
of
good
and
faithfull
souldiers
,
and
all
manner
of
store
of
munition
,
for
honorable
seruice
in
war
,
to
folow
gods
word
,
and
his
ordinances
in
the
gouerning
of
our
churches
.
In
war
it selfe
,
there
is
nothing
more
needfull
,
Christes
discipline
best
to
make
soldiers
obedient
.
then
faithfull
obedience
,
which
where
can
it
be
more
truly
found
,
either
in
Captain
,
or
common
souldier
,
then
where
the
conscience
is
catechised
in
the
waies
of
the
Lorde
:
which
if
it
bee
wrought
by
this
,
in
the
things
of
preparation
,
it
will
be
also
as
firme
in
the
very
time
of
warre
it selfe
:
I
will
not
say
,
but
some
thing
is
,
and
may
be
done
,
as
the
state
of
the
Church
nowe
standeth
,
for
God
be
thanked
,
there
bee
diuers
good
Preachers
:
but
the
question
is
,
of
the
best
and
surest
pollicie
:
If
now
then
by
a
fewe
,
much
good
is
done
,
what
would
it
be
,
if
euery
congregation
were
rightly
informed
,
and
truly
reformed
?
a
thousand
to
one
.
In
warre
vnto
obedience
,
Cotage
&
patience
,
by
Christes
discipline
.
there
is
to
be
linked
courage
and
patience
,
courage
to
beare
the
assault
of
the
enemy
,
his
force
and
terror
of
warlike
weapons
,
and
patience
to
endure
all
distresses
,
pennury
and
scarcity
.
Now
if
men
be
not
wel
resolued
by
good
knowledge
of
their
dutie
,
they
will
flie
,
for
feare
of
the
one
,
&
fall
to
mutinies
,
for
griefe
in
the
other
.
Therefore
if
there
be
in
euery
congregation
,
a
worthy
teacher
,
hee
will
be
able
so
to
prepare
theit
hearts
,
that
they
shall
stand
immooueable
,
with
liuelines
of
spirit
,
to
goe
through
the
one
,
and
with
modest
quietnes
to
go
vnder
the
other
:
which
thing
,
is
not
possible
to
bee
,
where
the
order
of
the
Church
,
suffereth
or
fostereth
so
many
vnfit
and
rawe
schollers
,
which
haue
more
neede
to
bee
taught
,
then
to
teach
others
.
Againe
,
the
presence
of
an
honest
,
wise
,
and
graue
Minister
(
the
Captaines
can
tel
)
doth
more
then
many
fresh
water
souldiers
do
think
,
especially
in
extremity
,
for
he
shall
sweetly
comfort
them
in
grief
,
mightily
imbolden
them
in
feare
,
meekly
stay
them
in
rage
,
and
prudently

the

gaue
a

and
the

fled
before
them

were

it

best
for

there

that

marueilously
stand

for
the

of

Antichristian

,
and
vsurpation
of
Church
gouernment
:
the
dignitie
of
the
Ministery
,
and
the
vnity
of
the
Church
:
two
thinges
of
very
great
waight
,
whereof
the
one
is
so
great
,
that
euery
minister
ought
to
looke
very
carefully

the
other
is
such
,
that
if
it

the

thereof

the

written
:
if
you
bite

deuoure

,
take

least
you
be
consumed
,
one
of

.
Now
say
they
,
if

were
not
L

the
pore

would
be
borne
downe
,
and

they
are
a

defence
vnto
them
,
and
whereas
,
euery
one
would
be
maister
,
and
doe
as
they
list
,
by
them
,
men
are
kept
in
awe

are

therefore
you
know
not

you
do

when
you
go
about
to
pull
them
down

Surely
,
a
goodly
shew
at
the
first
sight
,
but
not
such
as
will
abide
the
breath
of
God

Is
not
Christ
sufficient
,
that
hath
promised
to
be
with
his
seruants
vnto
the
worlds
end
,
to
countenance
and
defend
his
ministery
,
as
wel
as
he
did
three
hundreth
yeares
together
,
when
al
the
power
of
earthly
authoritie
was
against
it
,
and
shall
he
need
now
a
deuise
which
hee
long
since
forbad
:
saying
,
it
shall
not
beso
with
you
,
but
he
that
will
be
gretest
,
let
him
be
your
seruant
,
Luke
22.25
.
especially
,
when
hee
hath
reared
vp
the
christian
magistrate
,
to
bee
a
nurse-mother
to
his
church
,
and
to
defend
all
the
ministers
for
well
doing
,
be
best
for
the
churches
safty
.
as
she
doth
all
other
subiectes
in
their
callings
:
and
is
not
Christ
by
his
owne
order
,
as
wel
able
to
keepe
his
church
in
vnity
,
as
by
that
which
hee
abhorred
:
and
may
not
also
the
ciuill
sword
(
if
need
require
)
helpe
to
bridle
the
insolent
and
vnruly
?
But
in
very
deed
,
these
men
are
greatly
deceiued
,
who
thinke
,
that
either
vnity
,
or
good
ministers
,
are
furthered
by
their
lordships
:
for
as
their
callinges
are
not
of
God
,
so
they
countenance
such
as
are
like
them selues
,
corrupt
offices
and
workes
,
Cathedrall
churches
,
non-residence
,
pluralities
,
dumb
Idoll
ministers
,
&c.
These
,
if
they
subscribe
,
and
shewe
them selues
conformable
,
though
they
slay
neuer
fo
many
soules
,
shall
be
borne
out
and
countenaunced
to
the
vtmost
.
I
would
we
had
not
too
lamentable
experience
:
what
a
countenance
is
this
?
that
though
a
man
liue
neuerso
honestly-preach
Christ
neuer
so
soundly
,
wisely
,
and
profitably
,
yet
if
he
answere
not
their
expectation
,
in
that
bastardly
gouernement
,
and
canonicall
obedience
,
he
shall
be
as
much
regarded
,
as
though
he
were
the
vilest
man
aliue
:
and
I
would
it
were
not
true
,
that
very
wicked
men
are
maintained
,
while
good
men
are
put
out
,
and
can
any
thing
bee
more
to
the
contempt
of
the
Ministery
&
rent
of
the
church
,
and
making
of
seisme
,
then
when
men
are
quiet
,
and
follow
their
calling
,
with
great
care
of
the
peace
of
the
church
,
they
should
be
called
forth
to
subscribe
,
to
humain
constitutions
,
as
vnto
the
boke
of
God
:
&
without
due
time
of
examination
,
consideration
,
&
resolution
,
to
be
suspended
or
depriued
,
and
tossed
from
court
to

,
what
can
make
the
gospel
more
hated
,
then
to
see
bad
fellows
,
&
dumb
Idols
to
be
set
free
,
with
credite
and
commendacion
,
&

that
haue

euen
against
the
law
of

and
man
,
to
be
intangled
with
troubles
,
torne
and
turmoiled
with
diuers
molestations
.
And
is
this
the
fruit
of
vnity
,
that
is
pretended
?
to
beginne
the
quarrell
with
the
quiet
,
and
to
pursue
it
with
all
violence
,
to
make
them
,
who
in
towne
and
country
were
very
greatly
at
vnity
,
tooke
sweet
counsell
togither
,
for
the
profiting
of
the
church
,
to
be
now
sundred
as
strangers
?
O
Lord
deliuer
my
soule
from
such
honour
and
vnitie
,
and
deliuer
thy
pore
seruants
from
such
bondage
and
contempt
,
and
thy
Churches
from
such
reptoches
and
disturbance
.
But
if
these
disorders
were
remooued
,
and
Christs
Discipline
planted
,
where
were
all
these
mischiefes
?
they
would
be
throwen
into
the
bottome
of
the
Sea
:
then
would
be
the
glory
and
beauty
of
the
ministery
,
in
the
true
worke
of
euery
calling
,
and
the
power
of
the
spirit
,
Christs
Discip
.
taketh
away
the
causeof
contention
,
&c.
which
accompanieth
the

:
then
would
be
the
vnity
of
the
Church
,
when
their

of

should
be
taken
away
,
and
the

ioyned

built
with
the
right

of

Then

I

,
you
are
to

whether
it
be
equal

iust
,
for
you
to

by

,
they
haue
learned
to

or
what
comfort
you
can
haue
in
your
consciences
,
(
if
God
should
but
a
little
call
you
to
account
)
to
stand
so
stiffe
for
that
,
you
cannot
but
confesse
to
bee
of
mans
custome
,
against
that
which
was
of

institution
.
And
lastly
,
whether
you
can
be
sayd
to
haue
a
care
of
the
safety
of
her
Majestie
,
and
the
good
florishing
estate
of
this

,
especially
now
,
when
God
calleth
vs
vnto
repentance

,
when
you

that
they

could
see
what
it
is
,
to
bee
so
highly
commended

,
and
that
the
worser
sort
of

vnder

,
begin
to
make

to

if

which

beholde

whither
it

,
which
is
prophecied
against

that

I
pray
God
giue
vs
all
grace
,
that
we
be
not
wayward
conceited
,
and
opiniate
by
contention
&
vaine
glory
,
prouoking
one
another
,
and
enuying
one

,
but
that
our
care
may
be
vnited
to
tender
the
yong
lambes
,
for
whome
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
,
did
shed
his
most
precious
bloud
.
Seeing
then
,
The
end
of
the
speciall
reasons
.
that
the
Discipline
of
Christ
,
doth
most
properly
teach
euery
soule
to
execute
and
practise
good
lawes
,
both
for
the
constant
doctrine
,
continually
taught
,
&
also
for
the
Eldership
being
at
hand
,
without
charge
of
penaunce
,
reforming
the
disobe
dient
,
and
that
the
other
gouernment
ministreth
lesse
able
men
,
and
practiseth
the
censures
a
far
of
,
by
a
person
vnfit
,
with
chaunge
of
penaunce
,
and
that
wicked
men
,
loue
this
,
and
hate
that
,
and
that
this
kepeth
out
good
men
,
and
that
helpeth
them
in
:
seing
,
by
the
orders
of
Christ
,
the
Queenes
safty
is
best
prouided
for
,
being
a
thing
of
obedience
vnto
prosperity
:
and
by
it
,
al
the
helpes
of
Antichrist
be
remooued
,
and
the
other
orders
,
haue
alwais
hurt
the
lawfull
authority
of
princes
,
and
to
be
chiefe
B.
in
one
countrey
,
is
all
one
,
as
to
be
chief
Bishop
in
one
Empire
,
and
these
haue
hurt
kings
,
as
well
as
our
Popes
the
Emperour
:
and
that
by
the
common
law
and
these
offices
,
there
is
a
hope
left
,
for
the
deadliest
enemy
to
her
Maiesty
to
enter
in
,
&
that
papists
(
who
in
conscience
can
neuer
be
true
,
nor
by
rewards
bee
made
faithfull
)
are
fit
for
such
offices
,
to
couer
themselues
and
others
,
that
for
lacke
of
teaching
,
and
by
licenses
,
the
breed
of
Papists
is
not
hindred
,
neither
can
the
doubtfull
be
euery
where
resolued
,
and
that
Christs
lawes
do
take
away
all
these
,
and
make
faithfull
and
obedient
subiects
,
keeping
out
the
recusants
,
and
bewraying
the
Iesuits
,
and
that
the
ill
orders
do
hardly
intreat
the
doers
of
such
good
works
and
that
Christs
Discipline
,
doth
giue
all
kings
their
iust
titles
,
prerogatiues
,
and
dignities
ouer
all
persons
in
their
dominions
,
and
that
in
all
causes
,
keeping
out
al
ignorant
,
wicked
,
and
flattering
men
,
making
strong
that
league
with
christian
Princes
,
to
her
immortal
fame
,
and
feare
to
the
enemy
,
seeing
that
by
this
holy
discipline
of
GOD
,
the
Nobility
and
Comminalty
haue
their
right
:
are
freed
from
diuers
wrongs
and
disturbances
,
receiuing
comfort
to
themselues
,
&
their
children
,
being
terrible
to
the
wicked
,
&
easie
to
the
godly
:
seeing
that
by
Discipline
,
there
can
be
no
feare
of
rebellion
,
but
a
sure
confirmation
of
peace
,
when
all
hope
shall
be
taken
away
from
the
knowne
aduersary
of
recouering
strength
in
this
Lande
,
beholding
the
Lords
hand
to
prosper
this
worke
,
and
that
the
Lord
shal
not
be
prouoked
against
vs
,
for
our
disobedience
:
and
that
by
this
,
the
wealth
and
honour
of
the
realme
are
increased
,
and
contentions
,
and
brawles
,
and
vnnecessary
pleas
preuented
and
alaied
:
&
that
idle
men
,
of
all
sorts
,
might
be
set
in
order
,
and
poore
men
greatly
comforted
.
Seeing
that
this
maketh
best
for
war
,
as
in
the
preparation
to
preuent
all
seducers
of
the
dutiful
subiect
,
and
by
instruction
,
to
make
men
resolute
,
in
the
right
,
so
that
they
wil
not
be
drawen
after
great
or
small
,
nor
murmure
at
any
paines
,
or
charges
reasonable
,
but
be
alwaies
willing
,
ready
,
and
cheerefull
to
serue
her
Maiesty
:
and
that
GOD
hath
giuen
them
great
store
of
munition
,
and
faithfull
souldiers
,
who
followed
his
ordinaunce
,
and
punished
the
contrary
,
and
that
in
the
war
it selfe
,
it
maketh
courage
to
fight
,
and
patience
to
beare
extremities
,
vnited
to
iust
obedience
of
the
Magistrate
,
Church-gouerne
.
after
gods
word
making
Princes
in
time
of
danger
bold
and
confident
,
and
in
the
end
victorious
.
Lastly
,
seeing
that
Christ
hath
ordained
all
manner
of
offices
and
workes
of
his
Church
,
for
the
right
ordering
and
establishing
thereof
:
and
therefore
it
is
vnnecessary
,
and
an
vngodly
thing
,
prouoking
Gods
anger
to
defile
it
with
the
things
of
Antichrist
,
and
that
Christ
doth
call
vs
to
repentaunce
,
and
that
hee
hath
promised
sufficiently
to
defend
his
Church
in
honour
and
vnity
,
by
his
owne
order
and
meanes
by
him
appointed
,
and
hath
added
for
that
purpose
,
the
ciuill
Magistrate
,
and
that
by
these
disorders
,
all
dishonor
to
the
good
Ministerie
,
and
disturbaunce
to
the
Church
hath
bene
broched
,
and
neuer
any
dishonor
,
confusion
,
or
disquietnes
,
did
or
can
come
to
the
Church
,
by
the
members
thereof
,
but
by
violating
the
sacred
lawe
of
Christ
.
I
beseech
,
and
humbly
mooue
your
honors
to
consider
,
whether
it
be
not
the
best
and
surest
pollicie
,
for
our
estate
in
England
,
to
reforme
all
disorders
after
the
worde
of

,
and
to
set
vp
that
Church
gouernment
which
Christ
hath
ordeined
,
and
the
Apostles
practised
and
no
other
.
Nowe
,
The
last
proofe
taken
from
the
iudgement
of
Christ
.
if
in
ciuill
pollicie
,
all
that
I
sayd
were
nothing
,
(
which
I
am
verily
perswaded

Nowe
,
The
second
part
of
the
booke
answering
the
obiection
,
of
prouision
for
the
learned
ministerie
.
while
wee
of
good
and
single
meaning
,
open
the
necessitie
of
reformation
,
other
which
neuer
peraduenture
deserued

stand
gaping
to
run

with
the
spoiles
,
of
such
goods
as
may
bee
well
bestowed
,
vpon
the
great
need
of
many
churches
.
I
haue
thought
good
therefore
,
partly
,
because
it
may
appeare
,
that
in
this
stile
,
I
shout
not
against
any
mans
person
,
or
enuy
or
desire
his
goods
:
and
partly
,
because
it
seemeth
amongest
many
,
to
be
a
great
obiection
:
how
sufficient
liuings
should
arise
,
How
liuing
may
be
had
for
a
leathed
ministery
is
a
great
obiection
for
the
maintenaunce
of
a
learned
Ministerie
:
and
especially
,
that
it
is
high
time
to
consider
of
it
,
before
that
by
leasing
,
chopping
,
and
changing
of
such
things
as
might
supply
the
want
,
it
be
made
in
deed
a
hard
matter
,
which
as
yet
,
may
very
well
and
easily
be
done
.
I
haue
thought
good
(
I
say
)
and
appertaining
to
this
treatise
,
to
shew
a
way
how
,
the
Churches
,
may
haue
sufficient
liuing
for
an
able
ministery
,
wherin
as
in
the
rest
:
I
only
make
an
humble
motion
,
&
as
it
were
,
the
light
opening
of
a
window
,
put
your
wisedomes
in
minde
of
this
thing
,
which
I
take
to
bee
one
principall
matter
,
worthy
consideration
,
knowing
that
with
farre
more
deepnes
of
iudgement
,
and
soundnes
of
counsell
,
you
are
able
to
enlarge
,
either
where
it
wanteth
,
or
to
cut
of
where
it
aboundeth
.
Two
thinges
in
this
,
I
hope
I
shall
not
neede
to
stand
vppon
,
that
is
,
first
to
shewe
that
there
are
many
mean
liuings
for
ministers
,
partly
by
impropriations
,
and
partly
by
the
littlenes
or
situation
of
the
parishes
,
Many

for

for
this
is
in
the

of

cleare

that

,
that

,
some
twenty

,
which
come
nothing
neer
that
competency
,
that
were
fit
for
the
man
of
God
:
who
in
this
last
age
,
not
hauing
gifts
extraordinary
,
is
driuen
to
study
much
,
and
thereby
his
charges
be
increased
,
by
buying
of
books
and
order
of
diet
&
some
thing
for
the
decensy
of
that
calling
,
would
be
considered
in
the
comlines
of
aparrell
and
householde
,
that
it
bee
not
contemptible
,
and
lastly
,

it

,
that

all
which

by
many
degrees
cannot
come
so
low
as

it
may
appeare

there
shall

find
,
that
for
the

not
onely
the

but

might
not

:
yetin
al
these
,
and
many
mo
charges
,
they
prospered
,
though
it
seemed
neuer
so
chargeable
,
so
long
as
they
willingly
serued
God
after
his
order
,
and
for
so
much
as
our

,
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
may
well
be
accounted
among
the
fertile
and
rich
soiles
of
the
world
:
I
hope
we
are
not
so
vngratefull
,
as
to
recompence
God
,
with
a
vile
and
base
entertainement
of
his
seruaunts
,
vnderstanding
very
well
,
1.

that
it
is
a
small
matter
,
that
the
Minister
should
reape
carnall
things
of
them
,
vpon
whome
they
sowe
spirituall
things
.
The
other
thing
,
which
I
trust
I
shall
not
neede
to
stand
vppon
is
this
:
that
seeing
there
is
neede
,
and
that
very
great
,
that
the
ministery
should
be
better
pro
uided
for
:
It
were
the
dutie
of
the
Common
wealth
,
to
conuert
those
thinges
(
which
by

were

ment

in
the
time
of
reformation
,
shuld
be
kept
for
that
very
vse
,
that
the
reforming
of
things
be
not
thought
rather
a
bait
to
feede
our
bellies
,
then
to
proceed
of
any
godly
zeale
,
or
loue
of
religion
,
for
who
would
not
thinke
it
a
plain
mockery
of
God
,
and
a
scorne
of
godlines
,
that
men
going
about
to
beautifie
the
Church
,
should
rob
and
ransacke
the

and
pretending
to
further
the
seruice
of

,
should

This

the

&
the

because

I
hope
rather
we
will
hearken
vnto
Solomon
,
who
saith
:
Honour

.
and
with

:
so
shall

,
and

Be
it
far
from

in
so
cleare
light
of
the
gospel
,
we
should
be
flower
in
this
duty
,
then
our
forefathers
,
who
did
they
know
not
what
.
The
matter
then
I
will
stand
vpon
,
is
the
thing
which
may
thus
be
imployed
,
what
it
is
,
and
how
it
is
to
be
ordered
:
The
first
point
what
it
is
,
may
partly
bee
vnderstood
by
that
which
is
already
spoken
:
What
may
scrue
to
make
sufficient
liuing
for
a
learned
ministery
in
England
.

liuings
,
and
al
the
Cathedral
churches
,
houses
and
lands
,
&
whatsoeuer
profits
adioyned
excepting
the
free
schools
,
&
alms
houses
,
or
such
like
,
which
vnto
some
of
them
belong
.
The
nature
of
reformation
,
as
may
appeare
by
that
which
is
already
declared
,
and
the
good
of
our
land
requireth
,
that
these
dignities
or
spirituall
promotions
,
which
are
not
of
Gods
planting
,
should
be
pulled
vp
by
the
rootes
,
&
the
men
of
those
places
(
such
as
are
fit
for
learning
and
reuerend
behauior
)
applied
and
tied
to
some
congregation
,
where
they
should
labor
to
feed
soules
:
then
would
there
be
many
a
faire
pallace
voyd
of
a
maister
,
and
goodly
houses
,
churches
,
and
lands
voyd
of
owners
.
Here
I
take
it
to
bee
the
duty
of
the
common
wealth
to
keepe
these
liuings
still
for
the
maintenance
of
the
Ministery
,
seeing
there
is
a
very
great
need
of
them
,
and
to
chaunge
onelie
the
order
and
manner
of
the
applying
:
that
whereas
before
they
serued
to
vpholde
a
lordly
pompe
,
idlenes
and
brauerie
in
some
fewe
:
they
might
nowe
by
a
wise
and
godly
distribution
,
be
communicated
vnto
many
:
for
the
benefite
of
many
Churches
.
The
lands
,
houses
,
and
pallaces
may
be
sould
,
and
the
money
bestowed
to
the
redeeming
of
impropriations
and
increase
of
small
liuings
:
and
surely
,
this
is
of
all
other
most
equall
,
that
where
the
people
do
pay
their
tenthes
vnder
the
name
and
proprietie
of
the
Churches
vse
,
they
should
bee
so
applied
indeede
.
And
againe
:
seeing
the
corruption
of
our
time
,
hath
made
impropriations
,
as
fee
simple
landes
,
they
which
haue
reasonable
recompence
for
the
value
of
them
they
possesse
,
should
by
no
meanes
thinke
them selues
iniured
.
It
is
no
reason
that
seeing
the
people
do
already
stand
burdened
with
such
a
great
charge
,
that
they
should
bee
oppressed
with
a
second
,
especially
when
there
is
a
meanes
to
releeue
them
.
And
it
is
against
all
conscience
,
that
the
Ministerie
should
be
left
without
iustand
comely
prouision
&
maintenance
.
But
of
all
other
,
Forslow
not
the
time
till
the
Bb.
and
Cathedrall
Prelates
haue
wasted
all
.
it
were
most
vnwise
,
and
vngodly
,
to
foreslowe
the
occasion
,
especially
when
the
Commonwealth
was
neuer
so
rich
,
by
yearely
fruits
and
commodities
.
And
it
is
yet
more
horrible
wickednes
,
that
priuate
men
(
although
peraduenture
some
of
them
haue
done
seruice
)
should
preuent
the
Church
,
and
commit
so
great
sacriledge
.
For
if
they
deserue
,
there
is
sufficient
besides
to
reward
them
.
There
is
no
good
Christian
,
or
man
,
either
of
valure
for
fortitude
,
and
wisedome
,
or
of
estimation
for
religion
and
honestye
,
or
of
any
good
name
for
iustice
and
clemency
,
can
bee
of
so
base
and
seruile
a
mind
,
as
to
grope
after
the
spoile
and
hauocke
of
the
Churche
,
or
to
suffer
himselfe
to
bee
rewarded
with
those
goodes
,
which
should
by
all
reason
and
conscience
,
A
good
man
will
not
enrich
himselfe
,
with
that
which
should
serue
to
the
soule
benefit
of
many
.
be
imployed
to
the
seruice
and
immediate
honour
of
almightie
God
.
But
I
hope
these
speaches
shall
not
neede
,
and
that
the
example
of
Nehemiah
that
honourable
and
zealous
Prince
,
will
bee
followed
in
this
case
,
he
hauing
the
feare
of
God
before
his
eies
,
being
twelue
yeares
gouernour
ouer
the
people
that
returned
from
Babell
:
Nehe
.
5.10.14
.
when
his
labour
was
to
builde
the
wall
of
Ierusalem
,
and
to
set
vppe
the
puritie
of
religion
:
that
hee
might
giue
good
example
to
the
Princes
and
Rulers
,
and
that
the
people
might
no
way
bee
ouer
charged
,
that
so
the
businesse
of
the
Lord
might
go
chearefully
and
prosperouslie
forward
,
as
it
did
indeede
.
Hee
not
onely
tooke
nothing
to
him
,
which
was
due
vnto
him
,
as
hee
was
chiefe
Gouernour
,
but
also
spent
of
that
which
he
had
of
his
owne
,
for
the
common
charges
of
the
wall
,
and
fedde
many
at
his
table
,
lent
his
money
to
the
poore
,
redeemed
them
that
were
captiue
,
and
caused
his
seruaunts
to
doe
the
like
in
their
place
,
and
that
all
of
them
came
to
helpe
forward
the
worke
.
The
example
of
Iehoash
King
of
Iuda
,
is
very
memorable
for
this
purpose
,
2.
Kings
12.
when
the
priests
had
neglected
the
repayring
of
the
decaied
places
of
the
Temple
(
notwithstanding
the
Kings
commandement
)
till
the
three
&
twentieth
yeare
of
his
raigne
.
The
charge
and
money
for
that
businesse
was
committed
to
others
,
who
were
so
farre
from
gaining
by
it
,
that
they
shewed
such
faithfulnesse
in
doing
of
it
,
that
it
was
not
thought
needfull
that
they
should
giue
any
accounts
of
their
dooing
.
If
euer
it
please
GOD
to
giue
reformation
amongest
vs
,
I
pray
God
that
this
mercy
in
framing
of
the
heartes
of
al
sortes
and
degrees
,
after
the
good
of
these
examples
,
may
bee
also
a
blessing
vpon
vs
,
as
I
hope
that
through
his
tender
compassion
and
bounty
it
will
.
Now
as
great
a
matter
standeth
in
the
second
point
,
how
this
shal
be
ordered
:
one
saith
that
it
would
be
very
good
,
that
it
should
be
all
,
and
all
the
other
church
liuings
likewise
taken
out
of
the
ministers
hands
,
and
that
they
should
haue
their
seuerall
pensions
or
stipends
of
a
reasonable
sort
,
To
put
al
the
ministers
to
their
pensions
were
not
good
.
for
this
saith
he
,
would
be
easiest
and
quietest
,
so
that
they
should
be
troubled
with
nothing
,
but
to
follow
their
bookes
,
and
looke
to
their
charge
:
if
it
might
be
so
indeed
,
as
these
words
do
roundly
beare
vs
in
hand
in
very
good
shew
,
it
were
the
best
,
and
euerie
minister
would
be
glad
of
the
quietest
way
,
and
most
benefit
to
the
church
.
Another
peraduenture
is
of
a
diuers
mind
,
&
thinketh
it
very
inconuenient
,
especially
at
this
time
,
when
there
is
a
settled
prouision
for
most
places
,
and
that
by
such
a
meanes
,
as
is
no
great
trouble
to
the
minister
,
that
wil
not
wilfully
be
a
loyterer
.
It
is
better
to
keepe
a
good
way
which
we
haue
,
then
to
follow
a
new
,
and
change
for
the
worse
:
and
truly
this
latter
,
agreeth
most
with
pollicy
for
the
state
,
and
with
benefite
for
the
church
:
for
the
state
,
it
is
found
a
point
of
tryed
policy
to
alter
as
few
things
as
may
be
,
(
especially
when
they
are
good
and
well
)
wherein
the
people
haue
had
a
long
custome
or
interest
,
for
this
is
a
way
vnto
murmurings
,
discontentment
,
stirs
and
sedition
,
and
the
people
will
quickly
suspect
,
that
for
the
priuate
gaine
of
some
fewe
,
such
thinges
are
inuented
,
when
they
see
plainly
that
it
is
very
well
already
.
I
doubt
it
will
bee
found
a
hard
measure
to
some
,
an
vnluckie
peece
of
worke
to
begin
,
heauy
in
the
carriage
,
and
a
day
of
blacknes
vnto
posteritie
.
Secondly
,
there
must
bee
offices
erected
and
augmented
,
and
a
great
many
men
must
haue
leases
or
some
other
authoritie
and
office
to
gather
the
fruits
:
and
what
will
come
of
this
(
which
requireth
many
deuices
)
a
man
cannot
tell
at
the
first
fight
,
neither
shall
he
see
all
the
mischiefs
till
it
be
practised
:
but
this
must
needs
fall
out
,
that
many
men
for
gathering
the
fruites
,
for
receauing
and
paying
againe
,
must
haue
a
fleece
,
and
so
the
church
shal
be
shortned
&
shorne
of
her
right
,
by
a
needles
occupation
:
when
the
people
shal
pay
peraduenture
well
the
more
,
for
he
that
hireth
must
liue
by
it
:
againe
,
when
the
right
&
property
is
out
of
the
churches
hold
:
it
may
offer
occasion
in
time
,
that
it
shall
bee
taken
away
altogeather
,
and
then
there
will
be
iniury
to
the
church
and
oppression
of
the
people
.
But
the
other
is
euery
way
better
:
First
,
it
is
easier
to
be
done
when
there
remaineth
no
more
but
the
due
examinations
of
the
liuinges
,
The
ready
way
to
prouide
for
ministers
.
and
to
redeeme
the
impropriations
,
and
to
augment
the
smaller
liuings
:
it
is
without
all
suspicion
,
for
we
see
the
practise
,
we
know
it
to
be
good
,
and
neede
not
feare
any
ill
to
come
of
it
:
and
it
is
more
iust
,
for
then
the
whole
liuing
goeth
that
waye
it
should
,
and
the
people
wil
the
better
away
with
it
,
partlye
,
because
they
see
it
is
bestowed
according
to
their
mind
,
&
partly
,
because
they
are
likely
to
be
better
vsed
and
the
minister
for
his
part
shall
be
better
able
to
keepe
hospitality
,
&
to
feed
the
pore
by
the
vse
of
such
things
as
arise
by
that
meanes
,
and
that
which
is
no
small
commodity
,
hee
may
let
out
part
or
all
,
as
hee
shall
find
most
for
his
ease
,
and
best
for
his
profite
,
and
if
there
doe
any
benefit
arise
,
this
openeth
the
doore
to
him
,
wheras
the
other
way
penneth
him
in
to
one
certaine
place
,
bee
it
good
or
be
it
bad
:
and
it
may
be
,
that
his
neighbours
of
good
will
for
his
ease
,
will
gather
his
fruits
for
him
,
and
he
shal
saue
al
,
that
by
the
other
way
should
be
lost
,
both
to
him
and
the
people
:
Briefly
,
the
more
one
looketh
in
the
comparison
of
these
two
wais
,
the
more
he
shal
perceiue
,
that
the
order
nowe
established
,
is
the
best
:
if
the
impropriations
were
redeemed
,
and
the
small
liuinges
increased
.
Now
for
the
furthering
of
this
good
worke
,
there
are
two
things
to
be
added
,
which
will
helpe
this
matter
very
well
:
Vniting
of
smal
liuings
one
help
to
the
ministery
First
,
the
vniting
of
diuers
little
parishes
in
one
,
a
thing
of
common
practise
,
out
of
which
commeth
this
commodity
,
the
liuing
is
increased
:
and
by
the
number
of
the
people
,
there
are
the
more
wise
men
to
bee
chosen
for
Ecclesiasticall
officers
:
and
the
church
shal
be
the
more
cumly
,
and
as
easily
taught
in
a
maner
.
Benefices
without
cure
may
be
some
helpe
,
vnited
to
the
smaller
liuinges
.
The
next
is
,
there
are
certaine
thinges
scattered
heere
and
there
without
cure
,
these
may
bee
ioyned
to
helpe
the
smaller
liuings
.
Then
as
touching
the
impropriations
:
in
some
there
is
great
ease
,
Resigning
and
redeeming
of
Impropriations
by
Bb.
&
Cathedrall
liuings
wil
be
a
good
meanes
to
main
taine
a
learned
ministery
.
&
in
some
there
is
no
great
hardnes
.
Those
which
be
in
L.
Bb.
hands
,
and
pertaining
to
these
great
churches
,
may
easily
be
redeemed
,
if
they
be
sent
from
whence
they
came
:
there
need
be
no
charge
:
and
I
dout
not
,
but
the
third
part
will
bee
thus
redeemed
:
but
if
there
bee
any
in
the
Queenes
possession
,
or
of
any
temporall
man
,
or
in
Colledges
,
the
landes
and
houses
and
other
temporalities
of
the
L
.
Bb
.
and
other
great
Churches
may
be
imployed
to
redeeme
them
:
If
the
consideration
and
account
of
these
things
,
bee
committed
to
wise
and
godly
men
,
inhabiting
in
euery
shire
,
Iosh
.
18.4
.
where
such
liuings
&
churches
are
(
as
Ioshua
appointed
3.
of
euery
tribe
to
walke
through
the
land
to
describe
it
)
it
wil
easily
be
found
out
,
that
the
liuing
of
the
ministery
will
be
brought
to
a
good
and
cumly
measure
:
and
that
euery
Church
would
haue
at
the
least
two
hundreth
markes
yearly
for
the
Pastour
and
teacher
,
and
some
aboue
two
hundred
pound
,
Tith
wood
me
dowe
,
&c.
might
helpe
in
some
places
.
which
might
also
bee
holpen
in
some
places
by
tithe
wood
and
medowe
,
and
a
greater
sise
of
pasture
,
where
such
things
are
either
not
paied
,
or
not
according
to
the
value
of
the
tenths
by
much
.
But
here
groweth
a
question
:
The
overplus
of
Bb.
and
Cathedral
liuinges
may
pay
first
fruites
,
tenthes
,
subsidies
&c.
What
if
the
L
.
Bb
.
and
the
Cathedrall
churches
come
to
more
then
will
serue
for
the
redeeming
of
the
impropriations
,
or
lesse
:
If
more
,
(
as
I
am
verely
perswaded
it
will
)
it
may
serue
to
recompence
the
wonted
first
fruites
and
tenthes
,
which
were
from
these
seas
and
churches
,
it
may
serue
to
erect
in
all
shires
,
a
Lecture
of
al
sciences
,
that
such
as
cannot
put
their
sonnes
to
Cambridge
and
Oxford
,
may
haue
them
in
the
free
Schooles
,
and
after
by
those
Lectures
brought
through
all
arts
:
which
would
greatly
increase
learned
and
wise
men
in
this
land
,
and
make
a
florishing
time
.
But
if
it
should
fall
short
of
our
reckoning
,
If
Bb.
and
Cathedrall
liuings
be
too
little
:
a
general
beneuo
lence
will
make
it
vp
.
there
is
yet
an
easie
helpe
,
that
is
,
a
free
beneuolence
,
and
as
it
were
an
offring
of
all
sortes
of
people
,
yong
and
old
through
this
land
:
this
way
hath
the
church
of
God
beene
verie
much
holpen
and
aduanced
,
and
who
is
it
that
will
not
be
willing
to
further
such
a
worthy
,
honorable
and
holy
worke
.
In
the
time
of
Moses
,
Exod
.
36.5.6
.
when
hee
built
the
Tabernacle
,
&
made
the
altars
&

wonderfull
great
charge
,
for
gold
,
siluer
,
silke
,
pretious
stones
,
incense
and
all
costly
thinges
:
The
people
came
so
willingly
,
and
offered
so
plentifully
,
that
there
was
to
much
,
so
that
Moses
proclaimed
that
they
shuld
offer
no
more
.
2.

.
31.4
.
And
when
Hezekiah
commaunded
to
bring
a
part
to
the
priests
and
leuites
,
to
incourage
them
in
the
lawe
,
they
brought
in
such
abundance
,
that
they
did
eat
and
were
filled
,
and
yet
there
remained
plentie
in
heapes
that
they
had
made
.
And
in
Dauids
time
for
the
building
of
the
Temple
,

.
29.6
.
the
Princes
of
the
families
,
and
the
Princes
of
the
tribes
of

,
and
the
captains
of
thousandes
,
and
of
hundrethes
,
with
the
rulers
of

worke
,
offered
willingly
,
and
gaue
for
the
house
of
God
,
fiue

of

they

were

reioyced
when

offered
willingly
vnto
the
Lord
,
with
a
perfect

,
and
Dauid

also
reioyced
with
great
ioy
.
And
there
is
no
reason
to
feare
the
contrary
in
our
time
,
of
which
it
is
written
:
the
people
shall
offer
willingly

.
Psalm
.
110.3
.
I
doubt
not
therefore
of
Gods
mercie
and
blessing
,
if
wee
were
as
forward
to
go
about
such
a
matter
,
with
singlenes
of
heart
,
and
simplicity
of
Godly
wisedome
,
and
would
follow
after
it
with
earnestnes
of
zeale
,
and
painfulnes
of
knowledge
,
forgetting
our
own
ease
,
pleasure
,
wealth
and
will
,
to
preferre
the
true
worship
of
God
,
the
benefite
of
our
soules
,
the
glory
of
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
,
vnto
the
praise
of
God
the
father
,
and
this
would
bee
the
glory
of
our
land
.
For
thus
speaketh
God
vnto
his
owne
people
,
whom
he
honoureth
with
his
word
.
Bring
ye
all
the
tithes
into
the
storehouse
,
Mal
.
3.10
.
that
there
may
be
meat
in
my
house
,
and
prooue
me
nowe
herewith
,
if
I
will
not
open
the
windowes
of
heauen
vnto
you
,
saith
the
Lord
of
hoastes
,
if
I
will
not
open
the
windows
of
heauen
vnto
you
,
and
power
you
out
a
blessing
without
measure
,
&
I
will
rebuke
the
deuourer
for
your
sakes
:
and
he
shall
not
destroy
the
fruit
of
your
ground
,
neither
shall
your
vine
be
barren
in
the
field
,
saith
the
Lord
of
hoasts
.
If
I
should
stay
here
,
I
might
be
accused
either
of
vnjustice
or
cruelty
,
of
vniustice
,
bicaus
I
haue
but
sleightly
spoken
of
her
Majesties
due
,
in
the
first
fruits
,
tenths
,
and
subsidie
of
the
Cleargy
(
as
they
call
it
)
and
of
presentations
neuer
a
word
.
The
first
of
these
is
the
greatest
doubt
:
for
if
the
common
wealth
stand
in
need
(
as
it
is
likely
in
this
troublesome
time
)
then
there

then
the

may
stop
the
gap
for

that
the

remaine

vse
of
buying
out
of
the
said
first
fruits
,
which
wold
be
a
great
ease
to

and
the
burden
would
not

,
at

to
giue

euery

a

to

As
touching
Presentations
,
it
would
be
a
very
good
and
commendable
thing
,
Of
presentations
.
if
they
were
contained
in
the
free
gift
of
Prince
and
people
,
to
bee
resigned
to
euerie
church
,
which
by
the
laws
of
Discipline
,
ought
to
haue
their
free
choice
of
their
ministers
.
It
will
be
no
losse
to
the
patrons
,
except
a
man
wil
stand
vpon
a
dignity
.
For
euery
man
holdeth
it
Symony
,
for
patrons
to
take
anie
rewards
or
gaine
,
and
men
are
sworne
against
it
.
But
if
it
shal
not
be
thought
good
so
to
do
,
the
order
that
now
is
of
presenting
of
able
and
sufficient
Clearkes
may
remain
,
so
there
be
sufficient
caution
that
the
Cannon
of
Christ
be
not
broken
,
the
order
of
his
Discipline
violated
,
nor
the
church
wherto
he
shal
be
presented
robbed
of
their
right
in
election
.
Yet
in
all
these
things
I
prefer
not
mine
owne
iudgement
or
wisedome
,
An
humble
caution
of
the
Author
.
neither
doe
I
set
it
down
as
the
iudgement
of
al
or
many
of
them
that
seeke
the
reformation
:
but
as
I
haue
often
sayd
,
I
submit
this
my
priuate
motion
,
to
your
honorable
wisedomes
,
and
to
all
godly
learned
men
,
that
if
a
better
and
easier
way
may
be
found
,
this
may
bee
reiected
,
onely
I
craue
that
the
thinges
and
my
reasons
,
first
and
last
,
may
bee
rightly
waighed
,
and
that
if
a
better
cannot
bee
found
,
this
may
be
wisely
considered
and
not
neglected
.
Now
in
the
second
place
it
were
cruelty
(

som

to
put
down
these
spirituall
lords
,
and
great
men
of
the
church
,
and
to
turne
them
into
small
liuings
,
but
especially
to
turne
out
the
vnfitte
men
:
it
were
pittie
to
see
them
,
their
wiues
and
their
children
to
be
put
to
misery
and
begging
.
If
a
man
should
make
comparison
with
their
doinges
,
what
pitty
eought
there
to
bee
shewed
vpon
them
,
which
iustly
for
breaking

turned
out

Delay
is
dangerous
,
and
cursed
is
hee
that
doth
the

loosely

negligently
.
But
what
should
I
run
through
euery
thing
:
I
knowe
your
honorable
wisedomes
can
doe
a
great
deal
more
sufficiently
in
the
consideration
,
searching
,
&
applying
,
of
euery
thing
to
his
proper
place
,
that
God
hath
raised
vp
at
your
hands
,
very
notable
men
which
are
endued
with
giftes
:
Exod
.
35.30.34

which
like
vnto
Bezaleel

are
filled
with
an
excellent
spirit
of
wisedome
and
vnderstanding
,
and
knowledg
in
al
the
worke
of
God
,
and
to
teach
other
likewise
.
Therefore
as
this
is
euery
way
the
fittest
time
for
such
a
holy
and
honorable
purpose
,
so
I
thought
I
was
in
conscience
to
make
known
,
that
which
hath
diuersly
and
many
times
bene
aduised
of
in
my

as
it
were
by
an
humble
motion
to
bring

that
which
I
hope
you
cannot
be
ignorant
of
:
and
in
some
sorte
to
enter
you
in
that
,
which
I
trust
you
are
willing
and
forward
vnto

and
to
drawe
that
out
with
a
coal
,
as
it
were
rudly
,
which
you
by
good
aduise
and
mature
judgment
,
may
bring
forth
&
make
perfect
with
great
profit
,
beuty
and
glory
.
And
I
referre
al
that
I
haue
done
,
vnto
your
honorable
wise
and
godly
censure
,
that
if
I
haue
swarued
any
thing
from
the
word
of
God
,
or
good
reason
agreing
to
the
same
,
it
might
be
reiected
,
protesting
that
I
meddle
not
with
any
mans
person
,
but
with
the
cause
,
and
vnderstand
&
meane
when
I
reprehende
some
mens
doinges
in
the
naming
of
the
persons

onely
by
the

of
their
place

the
thing
which
is
the
ground
and
occasion
of
such
doings
:
which
being
taken
away
,
I
suppose
the
euil
of
such
persons
wil
be
purged
.
And
thus
in
all
humblenesse
,
desiring
your
Honours

and
all
wise
menne

to
consider
in
the
feare
of
