their worthy firiUagems Ijke to come to light, fought by what means they might the flopping of
thefime. And hecatife they coidd not work it pcrbrachiiim fccularc, hfpnblic^ue authority
(the Lord of Heaven tongpreferve jour Noble MMefly) they renewed again an old wonted pra-
iiife of theirs 5 doing in like fort herein, as they did fornetimes with the holy Bible in the dayes
of your renowned Father of famoia memory. King Henry the eighth-^ wUo whenthcy neither
by manifefi reafon coiddgainfl and the matter contained in the Book, nor yet abide the coming out
thereof, then fought they byafubtilldevifed trahtto deprave the tranflation, notes, a,?d pro-
logues thereof, bearing the King in hand, and all the people, thai there were in it .a thoiifand lies.
And I cannot tell how many more. Not that there were in it fitch lyes in very deed ; but that the
coming of that Book flwuld not bewray their lying ftlflwod, therefore they thought befl to begin
firjl to make exceptions themf Ives again f it ; flaying in their flage like its Phormio didin
theoldComedie, who, being mall the fault himfelf , began firfi toqiiarrell )V/>^ DcmJpho,
Tvhen Dcmilphorather hadgoodright to lay Phormio by the heels.

With like facing brags thefe Catholike Phormiones think now to daj]i out all good Books,
and among fl ot hers alfo the I e Monuments of Martyrs. Which godly Martyrs as they could not
abide being alive, fo neither can they now fufer their memories to live aftcrtheir death, leH
the a&'s of them being known might bring perhaps their wicked acts and cruell mimhers to dete-
flatiom and therefore j^urnthcyfo vehemently againfi this Book of H (lories, w.thallkindeof
contumelies and uprores, railing and wondering upo.i it ; much like as I have heard of a coiKpa^iy
cf theeves, who in robbing a certain .true man by the highwayes fide, when they had found a
tiece of gold or two about him more then he would be known of, t hey crjed out of thefalfchood of
the world, marvelling and complaining what little truth w.is to he found in men.

Evenfo thefe men deal alfo with me -, for when they themfelves altogether delight in untruths,
and have repleniflwd the whole Church of Chrifl withfegned filAes, lying miracles, fd'e
'vifons, and miferable crrours contained rnthcir Miffals, Portufes, Breviars, and Summaries,
andalmofl no true tale in all their Saints lives andFeftivals, as now alfo no great truths in our
Lovanian Books, c^rc, Tet notwithfanding, as though they were a people of much truth, and that
the world did not perceive them, they pretend a face and ~eal of great verity; and .ts though
therewere no hi/lories elfe in all the world corrupted, but onelythis hijlory of Acts and Monu-
ments, with tragicall voices they exclaim and wonder upon it, f-ir'^g no cofi of hpycrbolicall
fhrafes to make it appear as full of lyes as lines, ^c. Much aficr the like fort of impudcncy as
Sophiflers tife fornetimes intheir Sophifmcstodo (and fornetimes is ufed alfo inRhetorick) that
when an argument comcth again/} them which they cannot wBllrefohe indeed, they have a rule
to fhift off the matter withfleut words and trAgicall adm'ration, whereby to dajls the Oi'ponent out
of countenance, bearing the hearers in hand the fame to be the we. tkefl and (lender. :(t argument
that ever was heard, not worthy to be anfwered, but utterly to be h (fed out of the Schooles.

With like fophijiicationthefe alfo fare with me, who when they nether can abide to hear their
own doings declared, nor yet deny the fame, which they hear, to be true, for three or foiire
efcapes in the Book committed (andyet fame of them in the Book amended) they neither reading
the whole, mr rightly under fandmg that they read, enveigh andmaUgne fo perverflythe
Jettingout thereof, as though neither any wordinall that flory were true., -nor aty other (lory
falfe in all the world be fides. And yet maccufing thefe my Accufers I do not foexcufe my
felf, mr defend my Book .^ a.s though nothing in it were to be (ponged or amended. Therefore
J have taken thefe f aim, and reiterated my labours in travelling out this flory again- doing
herein as Penelope did with hir web, untwijiing that flic had done before : Or as BuHders da
fometimes, which build andtake down again, either to tran(pofethe fajJiion, or to make the
foundation larger, Soinrecognifing this Hi flory I have employed a littlemoreUwfr , partly
to enlarge the Argument which I took in hand, partly alfo to aSfay, whether by any pains
taking I might pacife the fomackes.^ erto fatisfie the judgements of thefe importune quarrellers :

for this Lberty of peace and iiine which through your peaceable government he hath lent unto ui
. for the gathering both of thii and other like Books, "TraBations and Monuments reqaifite to the
behoof of his church, which hitherto by ini(ju,ity of time could not be contrived in any Kings
raign f nee the Concjueji, before thefe hlcyondayes of yours.

Secondly, as we are aH bound tvith puhltke voices to magnife our God for this happy prefer-

a tejlification of the bounden fervice and good will of one, which by this he here pre fenteth, dc'-
clareth what he would, if he had better to give.

And though thefory being written in the popular tongue ferveth not fo greatly for your own
peculiar reading, norforfuchasbe learned; yet I fl)all defre both you and them to conpderin
it the necefsity of the ignorant Flock ef Chrifi committed to your government in this Realm of
England. Who as they have been long led in ignorance, and wrapt in blindneffe for lack ejjie-
cially of Gods Word, and partly alfo for wanting the light ef hiftory, I thought pitty but that
fuch fhoiild be helped, their ignorance relieved, and ftmplicitie infiruBed. I confdered they
were the flock of Chrifi, and ■^otir Sub']eBs, belonging to your account and charge.^ bought with
thefameprice, andhavingas dear fonles to the Lord as ether . And though they be but ftmple
and unlearned, yet net unapt to be taught if they were applied. Furthermore, what inconve-
nience groweth of ignorancs where knowledge lacketh, both I confdered and experience daily
teacheth.

And therefore hearing of the vertuotts inclination of your Majejfy, what aprovident care
and zeal full of folic itude you have, minding (fpeedily I trufl) to furnifh aH quarters and coun-
tries of this your Realm with the voice of Chrijis Cojpel, and fiithfull preaching of his Word,
I thought it alfo not unprofitable to ad] oyn itnto this your godly proceedings, and to the offce ef

But as it hapnedin that Temple of Solomon, that all which came thither came not to pray,
Itu many to prate, fome to ga&e and fee new es, other to talk and walk, fometo buy and fill,
fome to carp and pnde fudt, and finally fame alfoatthclafitodcflroy and pull down, as they

To rcade my Books I allure neither one nor other. Every man /u he feeth canfe, f« let him like

/tnd all for ignorance of hifiory, not knowing the courfe of times, audtrue defccnt of the Church,
itpittiedwe that part of diligence fo long to have been unfiipplied in this my Coimtrey Church
ef England. Again, confidering the multitude of Chronicles and Story-writers , both in Thepartlaii
England, andoutof England, of whom the mof part have been either Monks or Clients to ''°^''"?°f
the See of Rome, it grieved me to behold how pdrtially they handled their fiories. Wbofepain- °^^'""
full travell albeit I cannot but commend, i)i committing divers things to writing, not uri fruit-
full to be known, nor unpleafanttobe read -, yet it lamented me to fee in their Monuments the
frincipaR points, whichchiefly concerned the fate of Chrifts Church, and were mo(l necejfary
of all Chrifian people to be known, either altogether pretermitted, or if any mention thereof
were inferted, yet were all things drawnto the honor fpeeially of the Church of Rome, or elfe
to the favour of their own feet ef Religion. Whereby the vulgar fort, hearing and reading m
their writings m ether Church mentioned or magnified, but onely that Church which here flour i-
jhed in this World in riches andjfllity, were drawn alfo to the fame per fwafion^ to think no other
church to have (loodin all the earth but onely the Church of Rome.

In the number of this fort ef Writers, be fides our Monks of England (for ever Monafcry
dmefi had his Chronicler ) I might alfo recite both Italian and other Countrey Authors, as
Platina, Sabellicus, Nauclerus, Martious, Antonius, Vincentius, Onuphrius, La-
ziardus, Georgius Lilius, Polyd. Virgilius, withmany rnoe, who taking upon them to
entermeddle with mattei's of the church, although inpart they expre(fe fome truth.in matters
concerning the Bifnops and See of Rome ; yet in fupprefsing another part they play with us, as
hmnhs and Siphym did with their money, or as A'pcllcs did in Pliny, who, painting the
me half 0/ Venus coming out ef the Sea, left the other half unperfect. So thefe Writers, while
they fl>ew us one half ef the Bijhop ef Rome, the other half of him they leave imperfecf, and
utterly untold. For as they paint him out on the one part glt(iering in wealth and glory, in
fhewing what fuccefsien the Popes had from the Chair of Saint Peter, when they fir (I be^an, and
how long they fate, what Churches, andwhat f&motis buildings they erelted, how far their po fi-
fe f ions reached, what lawes they made, what Coimcels they called, what honour they received
ef Kings and Emperors, what Princes and Countries they brought under their authority, with
ether like fratagems ef great pompe and royalty; foonthe other fide, what vices the(e Popes
brought with them te their feat, what abhominations they praBi fed, what fuper(lition they
maintained, what idolatry they procured, what wicked doch-ine they defended contrary to the
expreffe Word of God, to what herefus they fell, into what divifton of fecfs they cut the unity of

This partiall dealing and corrupt handling of Hi (lories when Icmfidered, I thought with
my felf nothing mtrelacking in the Church then a full and a compleatflory, rvhich, being faith-
fully celleSied out of all our Monafiicall Writers^ and written Monuments^ fhoidd contain neither

for that would he too little-, but with amoderate discretion taking thcbeft of every ont fhould
both eafe the labour of the Reader from turning overfuch a number of writers, andalfo jJiould
open the plain truth of times lying long hid in obfrure darkneffeef amiq'tity. Whereby allfiudi-
Primm/fMj^ em Readers^ beholding as in a gla(fethe faie, courfe^ and alteration of Religion, decay of
Tt'"'^'"'^ docirine, andthe controverfies ef the Church, might difcern the better between Antiquitj and
novelty. FoYif the things which be fir(l (after the rule of TcnvXW^n) areto be preferred
before thofe that be later, then is the reading of Hiflories much neceffary in the church, to know
what went before, and what followed after -, and therefore nntw.thout caufe Wifkonz, in old
Authors, is called the Witneffe of Times, ^^^ Light of Ver'.ty, the Life of Memory,
Teacher of Life, WShewer of Antiquity, &c. Without the knowledge whereof mans
lifeisblinde,andfoonmay fall into any kindeof errour, ashy man fefl experience ne have to
fee in thefe defolate later times of the Church, when as the Bijhops of Rome under colour of
antiquity have turnedTruth into Her efte, and brought fiu:h new found devices offtrange do-
£trine andreligion, as in the former age of the Church were never heard of before^ and all
thorow ignorance of times, and for lack of true hifiory .

For to fay the truth, if times had been well fearched, or if they which wrote Hijlories had
without partiality gone aprght between God and Baal, halting on neither fide, it might weH
have been found, the mofl part of all this Catholique corruption intruded into the Church by
the Bifhops of Ro?ne, as Trdnfubfantiation, Elevation and adoration of the Sacrament, Au-
ricular Confefsion, forced vowes of Priefls not to marry, veneration of Images, private and
fatiffactor'j Ma(fes, the Order of Gregories Mafe now ufed, the ufurped authority and Summa
ipoie&SLS of the See of Rome, with all the rout of their Ceremonies and weeds of fuperflition
overgrowing now the church ; all thefe (I fay) to be New-nothings lately ceyned in the mint
of Rome, without any fampe of antiquity, oi by reading ef this prefent hiflory [hallfuffici-
ently ( I trufl) appear. Which hifiory therefore I have here taken in hand, that as other fiory-
Ima e of both '^'^'^^^^^ heretofore have emjileyed their travell to magnife the Church of Rome, fo in this
Churches. Hi fiory might appear to all Chriflian Readers the Image of both Churches, as well of the one
ai ef the other ; ej^ecially of the foore opprejTedand perfecuted Church of Chrifi. Which per.-
fecuted Church though it hath been of long feafon trode» under foot by Enemies, neglected
in the world, not regarded in hiflories, and almofi fcarce vifible or knoivn to worldly eyes ^ yet
hath It been the true Church enely of God, wherein he hath mightily •wrought hitherto, in
prefervii-g the fame in all extreme diftrejfes, continually fiirring up frorri time to time
faithfull Minifl&Sy by whom alwayes have been kept feme Jparkes of m true Bocirint mi
Religion.

T'ne Jefcenc of ^'>^ forafmuch OS the true church ef God goeth not lightly alone, but is accompanied with

cern rightly between the one andthe other. Who beholding the Church of Rome to be fo vi-

the natiere ef Truth j fo is the f roper c'gnditJcn of the true Church , thAt comtmnlj none
feeth it , ttit fuch ewly as be the member i and partakers thereof. Arid therefore thej ,
which require that Cods holy Church Jhould he evident and vifihle to the vhote World ,
feem to defne the gre.it Synagogue of the World , rather thin the true fp/ntuall Church
«f God.

In Chrijls time who would have thought but the congregations and Councels of the Pharifees
had been the right Church F and yet had Chri(l another Church tn earth be fides th.it ; which
albeit It Tv.ts not fomanifefl in the fight of the world ^ yetw.ts it the onely true Church in the
fight of Gad: of this Church meant Chrifi, peaking of the Tetnple which he would raife again
the third day . And yet after that the Lord was rifen , he jliewed not him f elf to the World, but
6nel)to his Elect, which were but few. The fame Church after that encreafed ,Jnd multiplied
mightily among the lews, yet had not the Ien>s eyes to fee Gods Church, b.tt did perfccute it , till
at length all their whole Nation w/ts dcflroyed.

After the lews then came the heathen Emperors of Rome, who^ having the ti^hole power of
the world in their hands, did what the world could do, to ixtinguijh the name and Church of
Chrifl. Whofe violence co»tinifed the fiyace of three hundred yeerj. All which while the true
church of Chrijl was not greatly m fight of the world, but rather was ahhorred every where,
and yet notmithflanding the fame (mall filly Flock fo deJpifediH the world the Lord highly regar-
ded atid mightily pre'erved. For although many then of the Chriflians didfuffer death, yet was
their de.tth'neither leffe to them, nor detriment to the Church ; but the mre they fuffered, the
more of their bloud trier ea fed.

In the time of thefe Emperors Godraifcd up then in this Realm ef Eritdine divers worthy Tbe amiquiiy
Frcachcrs andWitncjfei, as Elnanus, Meduinus, Meltivianus, Amphibolus, Albanus, ^.''^nEn"''**

was fmccrely preached. After their death and Martyrdome it f leafed the Lordto provide a gene- defcent of the
rall'quietneffc to his churchy whereby the number of his Flock began tnore to encreafe. ^"^'

longfeajon ; albeit the Civil Governors for the timewerc then diffolute and careleffe, as Gildas
very fharply doth lay to their charge, andfo at length were fubdued by the Saxons .

All this while about the Jpace of four hundred yeers Religion remaitKd in Britain un-
corrupt, and the Word of Chr I ft tritely preached, till ahout the camming of Augndiae drid of
^(S companions from Rome, many of the faid Britain Preachers were (lain by iheSa.Kons, Af-

yet neither fogroffely, nor fo greatly to be complained ofinre(j>e^ eftheabufcs that followed.
For as yet all this while the error of Tranfuhfiantiation and Elevation, with Auricular Ce}i-> Tianfuhftan-
fefion, was not crept in for apMke doBrine in Chrifis Church, as by their own Saxon Sermon ftancion not
made by Aclfricm, and fet out inthe fecond volume of this prefenthijlery may appear. During l^ll^'^mkc

-^iid yet in this time alfo, through Godsfroviderice, the Church lacked net fome of better
knowledge and judgement , to rvei^ with the darkne([e of thofe dayes. For although King
Edgar with Edward his bafefonne, being [educed by Dunftane, Ofwold and ether Monkijh
Clerks, was then a great Aitther md F autor of much Suferliitten, ereBing atmmy Monafle-
ries AswereSundayes intheyeer-, yet netwithfianding, this continued not long. Foreftfoones
after the death of Edgar came King Ethelrede andg^en Elfchrcd his Mother, with Alfe-
rus Dukeof Merceland, and ether Peers and Nobles ef the Realm, who dij^laced the Monks
again, andrejlorcd the married Priefis to their old Poffef ions and Livings, Moreover, after
that followed alfo the I> tines ^ which overthrew thofe Monkijh Foundations asfafi as King
Edgfir hadfet them up before.

Jnd thus hitherto food the condition eftbe true Church ef chrifi, albeit not without feme
repugnance and dtffculty, yet in feme mean ftate ef the truth and verity , till the time of Pope
Hildebrand called Gregory thefeventh, which was neer about the yeer enethoufand and
eighty, and of Pope Innoccntius the third, in theyar one thoufand two hundred and ffteen.
By whom all together was turned up fide down ^ all order broken, Difcipline difolved, true
DoBrine defaced, Chriflian Faith extinguijbed. Jn flead whereof was fet up ■preaching of
mens Decrees, Dreamt and idle Traditions. And whereas before Truth was free to be diluted
Among (I learned ?nen, now liberty was turned into law, argument imo authority. Whatfoever
the Bifhop of Rome denounced, that flood for an Oracle of all men to be received without oppofi-
tion or contradiction '.^ whatfoever was contrary i^{o iz!ko it tvoi Herefe, tobepunifhcdwith
Faggot and flaming f re. Then began the fmcere Faith of this Englijh Church, which held

darkncjfe, appearing like Sackcloth to the people, which neither could underfiand what ticy

The Utility of this S t o r i e.

fflSuIrttuBc of
ISooig lament'
a.

?,He world being replenifhed with fuch an infinite multitude of Books
of all kinde of matters , I may feem , perhaps , to take a matter in
hand fuperfluous and needleffe , at this prefcnt to fet out fuch Vo-
lumes, efpecially of Hiftorics , confidering now adayes the world
is fo greatly peftered, not only with fuperfluous plenty thereof,but
of all other Treatifes, fo that Books now feem rather to lack Rca-
dcrSjthan Readers to lack Books . In the which multitude of Books,
I doubt not but many do both perceive,and inwardly bewail this infatiable boldneffc
of many now adayes both in writing and printing j which , to fay the truth , for my
part I do as much lament as any man elfe befidc ; and would therefore no man fhould
think that unadvifedly or with raftinefie I have attempted this cnterprife , as one be-
ing not only doubtfull, but alfo both bafiifull and fearfull within my felf for fetting
the fame abroad. And why < Firft I perceived how learned this age of ours is in read-
ing of Books, neither could I tell what the fecret judgements of Readers would con-
ceive, to fee fo weak a thing to fet upon fuch a weighty enterprife,not fufficiently fur-
nifhed with fuch ornaments able to fatisfie the perfe<Sion of fo great a (lory, or f uffici-
ent to ferve the utility of the ftudious, and the delight of the learned. Which ability
the more I perceived to be wanting in me, the lelTe Idurft be bold to become a
Writer.

But again on the other fide, when I weighed with my felf what memorable ads
and famous doings this later age of the Church hath miniftred to us by the patient fuf-
ferings of the worthy Martyrs,! thought it not to be negleded,that fo precious Monu-
ments of fo many matters,mcet to be recorded and regiftred in Books,(liould be buri-
ed by my default, under darkneffe of oblivion. Me thought fomewhat was to be faid
of them for their well deferving,and fomething again of our parts for benefit by them
received. But above all other things , nothing did fo much ftir me forward hereunto,
as the diligent confideration and Ipeciall regard of the common utility whichever/
man plentifully may receive by the reading of thofe Monuments or Martyrologie ;
which Hiftory as I have taken in hand chiefly for the ufe of the Englifli Church , fo
have I framed it in that tongue which the fimple people could beft underftand-

Now if men commonly delight fo much in other Chronicles which entreat only up-
on matters of policy, and rejoice to behold therein the variable events of worldly af-
fairs, the Stratagems of valiant Captains, the terror of foughten fields,the facking of
Cities,the hurly-burlies of Realms and people ; And if men think it fuch a gay thing in
a Commonwealth to commit to Hiftory fuch old Antiquities of things prophanc, and
beftowalltheirornamentsof wit and eloquence ingarnifliing the fame, now much
more then is it meet for Chriftians to conferve inremembrance the lives,adts,and do-
ings,not of bloody warriors,but of milde and conftant Martyrs of Chrift, which ferve
not fo much to delight the ear,as to garnilh the life,to frame it with examples of great
profit, and to encourage men to all kinde of Chriftian godlinefle i As fvrft, by reading
thereof we may learn a lively tcftimony of Gods mighty working in the life of man,
contrary to the opinion of ^theijts, and all the whole neft of Epicures. For like as one
faid of HarpalK< in times paft,that his doings gave a lively teftimony agajnft God, be-
caufe he being fo wicked a man , efcaped fo long unpuniflied ; fo contrariwife in thefe

of the Sahits do not a little avail to the ftabliChing of a good confcicnce, to learn the Compjciftn

of Heavenly comfort. For what man reading the mifery of thefc godly perfons may
not therein, asinaglaffc, behold his own caie, whether he be godly or godlcfl'eC
For if God givcadverlitie unto good men, what may cither the better fort promii'e
theinfelves, orthccvill not fear :■ And as by reading of prophane llories we are
made perhaps morcskilfuUin warlike affairs, fo by reading this we arc made better
in our livings, and befides are better prepared unto tiie likeconfli(!!ts, (if by Gods
pcrmiflionthcy fliall happen hereafter) more wife by their doctrine, and more ftcd-
fall by their example.

To be fliort, rhcy declare t® the world what true Chriftian fortitude is,and what is
the right way to conquer, which ftandeth not in the power of man, but in hope of the
ref .rreflion tocomc,and is now,I trull, at hand. In confideration whereof,me thinks
I have g ood caule to wifh, that like as other fubjeils, even fo alfo Kings and Princes,
which commonly delight in hcroicall ftories,would diligently perufe f.ch Monuments
of Marfyrs,and lay them always in light,not alonely to read, but to foUow,and wsuld
paint them upon their Wals, Cups, Kings, and Gates. FordoubtlclTe fuchas thefe
are niore worthy of honour then an hundred Alexander.'^ HeBors^ Scii>io's^ and vvarlike
Jtilte.r. AndthoLighthc world judgcth prepofteioufly of things, yet with God, the
true Ju^g^) certes fuch are to be reputed, in deed, not that kill one another with a
weapon, but they which being rather killed in Gods caufe do retain an invincible
conflancy againft the threats of tyraiits,iand violence of Tormentors. Such as thefc
arc indeed the true Conquerors of the World, by whom we learn true manhood, fo
many as fight under Chrilt, and not under the World. With this valiantneffe did that
mofl milde Lamb, and inviuciible Lion of it.hc Tribe of Jada firft of all go before us.
Of whole unfpcakable fortitude we hear, this propheticall admiration; ^yho u thi^ iCsi.e^.
(faith he) which rva.lk- thfo in the multitude of ,hif Jirengtii -, Foufooth the high Son of the
high God, once conquered of the World, i and yet conquering the:World after the
fame manner he was conquered.

The like dance did all his other Martyrs follow, to whom the ancient antiquity of
the Church did attribute fb much honour, as never King or Emperour could purchafe
in this world with all their Images,pillars,high fpircs,tnumphs, Tcmples,and all their
folemn feaffs. In probation whereof we fee with what admiration, and almofl fupcr-
flition, not only the memory, but alfo the reliques of thofc good Martyrs were recei-
ved and kept amongft the ancient Chriftians. We have alio for witnclTe the learned
hymnes and fongs of Prudemiu* and A/'tfz,/(««z,e», wherewith Pindarm did never fo much
fet out his triumphs oioiymfia. and Nemca. I need not here rehearfe the learned O^a.-
tionsof eloquent ijp>'2,jK, Chrjfojiome^ Ami/rofi, andjf.wwf, who never fliewed their
cloq'iencc more, then when they fell into the commendations of the godly Martyrs.
Whereby it is manifeft,what ellimation in times part was attributed to martyrs;with
what grat ■Iarion,rejoycc, mirthand common joy the affli^ior.s of tliofe godly, dying
in Chrifts quarrell were iometime received & folcmnizcd^aiid that not without good
reafonable c.iufe. For the Church did well confidcr how much flie was beholding to
their benefits, by whofe death flieunderftood hertrealuicstoincreafe. Now then if
Martyrs are ro be compared with Martyrs, 1 fee no cauie why the Martyrs of our time
deferve any lefle commendation, then the other in the Primitive Church ; which aflii-
redly are inferiour unto them in nopointof praife-, whether we view the number of ecomparfftn
them that lufFered, or greatnefle of their torments, or their conffancy in dying,or alio ^f^'^Jaftit
conhder the fruit that they brought to the amendment of pofterity ,and inci eaie of the ^'"'".''"
Gofpel. They did water with their bloud the truth that was newly fpringing up ; fo of rOtUttw .
thefe by their deaths reftored it again, being fore dccaied and falne down. They ftan- ®*""'''

rage again, like old beaten fouldiers, did wiathe field in ttie rercward of the battel!.
Ttiey like famous husbandmen of the world did fow the fields of che Churchj chat
firft lay unmanured and wafte i there wich fatnefie of their bloud did caufc ic to bat-
ten and fiuftific. Would to God the fruit migbt be fpeedily gathered into the barn,
which only rcmaineth bchinde to come.

Now, if we afcribe fuch reputation to godly Preachers (and worthily) which dili-
gently preach the Gofpel of Chrift, when they live nocwithftanding, by the benefit
of time, without all fear of perfection j how much more reafonable caufe have we
to praife and extoll fuch men as ftoutly fpend their lives for the defence of the lame i
All thefe premifles duly of our parts confidercd and marked, feeing we have found
fo famous Martyrs in this our Age, let us not fail then in publifliing and fctcing forth
their doings, left in that point we fecm more unkinde to them, then the Writers of
the Primitive Church were unto theirs. And though we repute not their alhes ,
chains, and fwords in the ftead of reliqucs ; yet let us yeild thus much unto their
commemoration, to glorifie the Lord in his Saints, and imitate their death (as much
as we may) with like conftancy, or their lives at the leaft with like innoccncy. They
offered theij bodies willingly to the rough handling of the tormentors ; and is it fo
great a matter then for our part to mortifae our flclh, with all the members thereof f
They negledcd not only the riches and glory ot the world for the love of Chrift,
but alfo their lives ; and fliall we thenkeep lo great a ftlrre one againft another for the
'tranfitory tritles of this world f They continued in patient fuffering, when they had
moft wrong done to them, and when their very hearts bloud guihed out of their
bodies i and yet will not wc forgive our poor brother, be the injury never fo fmallj
but are ready for every trifling offence to feek his deftruiiion, and cut his throat.They
wifliing well to all men, did of their own accord forgive their perfecutors ; and
therefore ought we, which arc now the pofterity and children of Martyrs, not to
degenerate from their former ftcps, but being admoniihed by their examples, if wc
cannot expreffe their charitie toward all men, yet at leaft to imitate the fame to our
power and ftrength. Let us give no caufc of offence to any. And if any be given to
us, let us overcome it with patience, forgiving and not revenging the fame. And let
us not only keep our hands from fhedding of bloud, but our tongues alfo from
hurting the fame of others. Bcfides, let us not ihrink, if cafe fo require, by
Martyrdomc, or toffe of life, according to their example, to yeild
up the fame in the defence of the Lords flock. Which thing
if men would do, much lefle contention and bufincffe
would be in the world then now is. And thus
much touching the Utilitie and fruit to
be taken of this Hiftorie.

FOUR

CONSIDERATIONS

Given out

To Chriftian Proteftants , Profeffors of the Golpel,

With

A BRIEF EXHORTATION

inducing to reformation of life.

The fr!i Conjideration,

pS in the Page before foure Queftions were moved totheCatholikePapifts, toanfwer
them at their leifure ; fohave I here to the Chriftian Gofpdlers foure confiderations
for them to mufe upon with ipeed convenient.

The firft confideration is this; That every good manwellweigb with himfelf the
long tranquillity, the great plenty, the peaceableliberty, which the Lerd of his mercy
hath befto wed upon this L^nd during all the raign hitherto of this our Soveraign and
moft happy Queen Elizabeth, in fuch fort as the like example of Gods abundant mercies is not
to be feen in any Nation about as ; fo as we may well fing with the Pialm in the Church, Mb /tcf* taliter
emnznatimi, & <tpes gloria fittnmmanifefiavit eiii Firft in having the true Light of Gods Gofpel fb (hi-
ning amongus, fo publikely received, fo freely preached> with fuchliberty of conlcience without danger
profefled; having withall a Prince fovertuous, a Queen fo gracious given unto us, of our own native
Countreyj bred and born amongft us, fo quietly governing us, fo long lent unto us ; in fiich peace defen-
ding us againft fuch as would elfe devoureus ; briefly, what could we have more at Gods hand, if we
would wifli t Or what elfe could we wi(h in this world that we have not, if this one thing lacked not,
grace to uie that well which we have ?

The Jecond Confideratiott,

AS thefe things firft are to be confidered concerning our felves, fo fecondly let us confider likewife
the ftate and times of other our countrymen and blefled Martyrs aforepaft ; what ftorms of perft-
cutions they (uftained, what little reft they had, with what enemies they were matched, with wbat«roC
fes.prefled,under what Princes, under what Prelatesthcy lived, or rather dyed, in the dayes of K. Hen^,
King Heirry 5. King Heury 7. King Hemj the eight. Queen Mary^ &c. under Bomr Biftiop of London,
Gardiner Bifhop of Winchefter, CbolmUy, Story, Bifliop -Arimdel, Stokejley^ Courtney, Wurham. At what
time children were cauled to fet fire to their fathers; the father adjured to accuie the fon,the wife to accule
the husband, the husband the wife, brother the fifter, fifter the brother, examples whereof are plenty in
this book to be feen.

The third Cmfidcratieiit

THirdly let us call to minde, confidering thus with our (elves, Thefe good men and worthy Martyrs
in thofe dangerous dayes rafting as they did the heavy hand ofGodsfhatp corrcftion, beginning
commonly with his own houfe firft ; if they were alive now in thefe Alcyon daies, under the proteiflion
of &ch a peaceable Ptince, Owhat thanks would they give to God! How happy would they count
themfelves having but half of that we have, with fireedome , only of conicience and iafety of life ? Or if
in cafe we onr lllves bad been in thofe times of theirs, fo troubled anddiftrefled asthey'wfere> fpoiled
ofgoodst hated of the world, cited in Confiftories, pinched in prifons, fequeftred from houfe^ wife,
and children! looking for nothing but death; whatwould wefay ? what would we think? whatwould
we do? Much other wife doubtlefle then we do now ; God grant we may do better) for worfe I think
wecannot if we would. lobn WickUff, W. Sifinderby, Tboife^ Sawtrie, with a number of godly men
more, being then glad in friefegownes, going bare foot, to preach where they could ; if they were now
alive, how glad would they be of thefe dayeSjwhat pains would they take, yea, what paines would they
not take in preaching the Gofpel, not for lucre, nor for money, nor pafTing for promotions or dignities
of the Church? Sir lohti Old^afik Lord Cobham, Sh Eager A^on, with divers worfhipfull Gentfemen
a great number, if they being in our ftate might enjoy with us their houfcsand lands, with the good
favour of their Prince fas then they could not j hew gladly would they have contented themfHves,
though they never raifed their rents andSnes to the undoing of their poor tenaats? Likewifein the time
of John Hm and lerome of Pragc, the Nobilitie and Gentlemen of Bohemia, if they might have had
half this tranquillitie which we have, to enjoy the liberty of Gods Word and trueufeof theSaaaments
without moieftation of Romifh Prelates, what would they have cared how (imply they walked in their
actyre, without any (iich monftrous pompe in pranking up themfelves, as we Englifhmen in thefe refor-
med dayeswalk now, more I ike players on a ftage, then Gods children iu his Church ?

• Four Conjiderations propounded to the Troteflants,

Thefi/irth Cmfiderai'nn .

WHercfore,'welbeIovcd, thefe things being fo, let us call our felvcs to tninde, confidcxing the timca
chat hive been, tlie times that be, and tlie times that may came, how we ftand, and by wlnjm we
Hand. If it be the favour of Godoiily that doth I'upport us in theniiddellof lb many enemies. Ictus
beware that in no wile we provoke his indignation, It it be his Truth and Go/pel that ivcprofelTc, let
uswalkin thelightof his Iruth, and keepour lelves within the conipsffr of his Gofpel, What the
Gofpel reqtiireth, and what it abhorretli , whoknoweth notVandyetwhofolloweth thatheknoweth?
If Saint P<7ft/willeth every one to depart from iniquity , which naineth the LordJcfu9?andif the Lord
(efus himfelf teftificih plainly his Kingdom not to be of this world, how will then the nature of that
kingdom (bSpirituall, and our conditions lb worldly, match well together ? to rip up all our deformi-
ties in particular I miiide not here, neitiier need I, the fame being lb evident to all mens eyes, that who
cannot leeourexcelfivcoutrage in pompous apparell, ourcarnall defires and unchafte demeanors with-
out fear of God, our carelcfTc lecurity without confcience , as though there were no judgement to come,
our ftudies lb upon this world, as though there were no other heaven ? what pride and idlencfle of life,
double dilTembling in word and deed without fimplicity 3 avarice unfttiablc, little regard to hear Gods
Word, k (Te to readit, leaft of all to follow it, every man alpiring to worldly wealth and proraoiionj lit-
lie or no mercy to the poor , racking of rents and fines, bribing and taking unmealurable ? What flioald
I Ipeakof thecontentionsandunbrotherly divifions amongft us , moft lamentable to fee , but more la=
msntable, if all were fccn which may or is like to follow upon the fame. Such ware the times once of the
Church before the horrible perlecution of Pirfc/f/t.m ; for lb we read, fuch hatred and difdain through
much peace and profpcrity of theChurch to creep in amongft theChurch-raen.

Wherefore let us be exhorted, dearly beloved, to reclaim our lelves while time doth ferve. If we finds
the Lord fo gracious in fpar ing us as he dotli,let not that make us woi/c but better. It is a lewd childe that
will not learn without baating. A well minding man will be good, not forced by coaftion,butofvo-
luntaryofficeinduccd. As adverfityif itcomc,oughtnottodilniay us ; fb profperity now preftnt ought
not to pufFeusnpin lecurity, confidering' what commonly is wont to follow, as P/i»» well writeth,
Smnmni atqueejfrenatx lihertatiffewitutem plertim^ajjiclam ejfe. Of immoderate liberty and too much
lecurity, f(»lloweth moft commonly extreme fcrvitude. And as H/ppacrates ftitb, Diffioficions of bo-
dies when they are come to the highefl perfe&ion of health, then are they moft lubjeft to danger of fick-
ncfle, &c. Let us therefore, havinglight given us, walk like the children of light, Otherwile,if wewalk
like children of dilbbedience, God hath his rods to ftourge us ; if we will needs be rebels j be hath his
FhraoSs and Nabacbodonofort to plague us, Or if we will be lb inordinate , and { with reverence be it
ipoken, without offence to God or man _) lb doggifh and currilh one to another, the Lord lacketh
not his dog-ftrikers to whip us. And would God our lives were fiich , that the deftrudion
and ruine here of late leen among us may portend nothing againft us , as
Itruft there isnocaufeforustofear, but rather to fear the
Lord, and walk in his obedience, and amend
that which is amilTe amongft
us. Amen,

The grace of our Lord Jefus blef!e thee gentle Reader, that long thou maift read,
and much thou maift profit. Amen.

Hat here is prcfentcd unto him a compendious Chronologicall

Fox his Method and Computation) digefting them into feverallj

Sixth and largeft of matters, concifely anatomizing the whole body of the ftoiy

Seventh, laftandleaft, pointing to the place in the large volumes, where the con-
tents of all the other columnes are to be found, and filled up with fleih, blood and fpi-
rits of larger difcourfes.

To which we have added this briefe Chronologicall digeft , that it may ferve
the ftudious Reader,cither as a pcrfpeilive,whereby to view what ground he is to tra-
vell,and where the feverall turnings are before he begins to read : or as a Rcgifter or
Note-book, whereby to recoiled his thoughts and obfervations after fo long a travell
in reading fo voluminous a work : And at all times to be both as a Mappe of the limits,
a Sceleton of the limbs,and Pourtraiture of the face of fo rare a Story and a right Mar-
tyr j as alfo a Methodicall Index to finde.and fetch in the maine bulke of any fpeciall
piece of the ftory (outof the heapeofproJix circumftances, wherein it is covered)
when it is to be remembred or perufed. In all which thus projeded,and with extraor-
dinary paines and care effeded , if any Reader from his knowledge of other hiftorics,
coHceive that many touches.of additions or alterations of things, names, or times,
would have done well; let him remember that Mafter Fox his booke of Martyrs was
the copy fet before the pen to write after, both for matter and method. As alfo
that the fcope of the Pen-man was , to aiake this modell a key to the fame ; fo that if

in the iifih page of this volume. After intheincrealeofthe

ancient Councels : Now Scriptures and Councels are fet

creialsjin his Canon h\v,

4. Bindingand loofing. In which whatthe Scripture gives ge-
ne-ally to all theChurchj Rome arrogates to her ielfe, and
(hee on'ly will alone have the keyes. Whereas againe,
the Scriptures give authority to no Chm ch in Ibme things,
there Rome will ailarge her ielfe, and fit the wards of her
keyes, ib as (hee will un?ocke and locke thoie things which
never came into Gods minde to allow. As, to loofe and diC
charge fubjefts from their oath of allegeance to their
Prince ; and any man from perjury for money ; and to bind
with excoramunication peribns for petty matters,as break-
ing parkes, not ringing bels, &c. . '

to pull downe the Chriftian Churches to the ground, to burne the Scriptures,
and difplace all Magiftrates thatwould not abjure Chriftianity.

The ftcond aft was to affay by all polfible torments, to rtiake Biftops and Elders
to Sacrifice to Idols.

In the third aft he comes to thecnmraon Chriftian? ;but firft begins in his Camp,
where many of his fouldiers -laliantly and voluntarily dyed to be fouldiers of
Chrift, under the colours of Martyrdome. An infinite number of others were
martyred. Nay, the very places and torments where and wherewith they
were martyredjarife to a mighty Multitude.

At Nicoraedia, a Chriftian, a noble-man borne,feeing the Edift of the Emperour

London, and the Archbilhop of Yorke.

This Auftin chargeth the faid bilTiops to adift in preaching to the Englifn

Churches, in divers things ; particularly, to change their timeofEafter,
to the cuttorae of Rome : But the Scots and Britaines utterly refilled to
change their cuftorae»

Auftin was fo proud 3 that he vvould not bow to feven Biftiops and one
Archbifhop, comming to a Councell at his command ; whereupon
the (aid Bifhops and A:chb'(hop was lb perverle, that they denyed

About this time was Job; Patri^r;h ot Alexandria: who of a hard (pa-

twice a weeke (it all the day at his doore, to take up matters, and
makeunity where w^sany variance. He lamented much one day be-

K. Edwin being wounded by trealbn with a fword , was thereupon
moved to caule that his daughter (hould b.e baptized, and twelve

promiledto Chrili ., if hee Ihould give hira viftory in battel! over
the King ofthe Weft-Saxons. But when he had the viftory, he neg-
lefted his promile, exculing him(elfe, that hee might not cleerely

But by the preaching ot Paulinus j thefirft Archbilhop oTYorke, he
left his Maometry. Atlaft by Peculinus his earneft prayers to God,
and pre (ling the K. with his promife, he received the faith, and was
baptized , with many of his fiibjefts with him. After this the laid
Paulinus baptized daily many multitudes. And great peace was

the fourteenth day o^ the firft moneth , till the eight and twentieth of
the fame moneth ; whether it were Sabbath or no. The other fide^
as WillrJd thePrieft, who fpake for the reft, as Agiiberc, &c. held
that according to the cuftorae of E.ome, Italy , France, Afia, Alrifee,
EgyptjandGrcece, Eafter (hould not be kepton the fourteenth day,
unleile it were Sabbath ; but to be refprited to the next Sabbach be-
tweenethe fcureteenth.andthe one and twentieth day. The former
fide alleadged for their tenenr, St. John the Evangelifts example.
This latter alleadged St. Peters. Th; King concludeth thus. For fo
much as Si. Peter is the doore-keeper of heaven , I will not giinefay
him 5 but obey his orders , left when I come to the gates of heaven,
he fliut them againft me. To this reafon the multitude ycelded.
But Colman in difpleafiire left the Realme, and went into Scot-
land.

Wolfcrw converting the Southfixons that they had received baptilme, pre-
fently they had rains, which they had wanted three yeeres, cauling
a great famine , infbmuch that the people would go forty together
upon the rockes, and take hands , and throw themielves do wne into
the Sea.

Wilfrid taught the Southfaxons the art of fifhing with nets.

About this lime the detcftablefeft of Mihumct began to take flrength
and plice. Of Mibwnet came the Kingdome of Agarens, whom
he after named Saracens ; to whom he gave fundry lawes patched
of many iefts. He taught t.hem to pray with their faces to the
South. As we keepe Sunday, fb they kcepc Friday ; which they call
the day of Venus. He permitted them to have as many wives as
they were able to maintaine ; and to have as many concubines as
they lifted : toabftainefrom wine, except on fome fblemne dayes of
theyeere : to have and to worfhiponeGod Omnipotent; and to e-
fteeme Mofes and the Prophets great, but Chrift as greater ; as be-
ing borne of the Virgin Mary, by the power of God, without mans,
feed, andatlaft was taken up to heaven, but wasnot flaine, butano-,
ther in his likenefTe, for him ; with many other wicked blafphemies
in his law contained. At length this IClngdomeof the Saracens be-
gan to be conquered of the Turke, and in procefle of time wholly
fubdued unto him, as wefhall declare in the yeeres following j in
which thofefeverall pafTages were done.

This Thcodor was fent from Italy into England , by Vitellianus the
Pope, to be Archbifliop of Canturbury , and divers other Monkes
ofltalyto (et up here in England, Lacine Service, MafTes, and fuch o-
ther Romifti ware. This 1 hecdor playes rex , difplacing Cedda
and Wilfrid, Archbifliops of Yorke, pretending they were not law-
fully con fecratedjnorwithftanding they were Sufficiently authorized
by their Kings, and were placed againft their wills.

In the time this Thiodor , a Synod was held at Tiiecford , ordaining
that Eafter fhould be kept throughout the Realme upon one cer-
taine day, viz. prima 14. luna menfis prirai. That no Biihop fliould
meddle in anothers Diocefle. That Monafterics fliould bee free from
Bifhops jurifdiftion. That Monkes fliould not ftay from their owne
Monaftery to another •" nor a Clergy man from his owne Bifliop to
anothers Diocefle. That Synods Provinci.ill fliould be kept in the
Realme at leaft once a yecre ; with divers other ordinaBces of like
nature.

In the next yeere after that Synod, was held thelixt generall Councell
atConftance; At which wasTheodor under Pope Agatho preient,
where it was permitted that Greeke Priefts fliould have wives,
and forbidden to the Latine.

In the fixt yeere of Iva , beginning to raigne about this time, moft va-
liantly warring againft the Kentifh Saxons , was one Qtthlah a Con-
feffor, who firft was a Monke,and after an Anchorite,

A rchb. In the fixteenth ycerc of Ivc, Ethelred king of Morcia having reigned iliir-
of Cant.' ty ycercs ^ was made a Monke, and afcer Abbot of Bardncy.

ed Bifhop Adelmin.,fix[\ Abbot oi A^a'mtsb«/y ^ after bifliop of Sbir.
boiinic ; which Sec wasafter united to Winton.
John of Beverly, birtiopof Yorke, dieth.

in the time of Jw, who reigned 37. ycers, began firft the right obfervation
ofEafterday by the Pifts and Britaiiies; in whicii oblervation three
things are neaflary:

1. ThefullMooncofthefiiftmoneth, (i)ofMarch.

2. The Dominical! letter.

3. The Equiiioftiall day, which was ivont to be counted , in the Eaft
Church, and e([.iecially among the jigypcians, to bee abjut thelcven-
teenth of March.

So that the full Moone, either on the Equinoftiall day, or after the Equi-
noftiall dayj being ob/ervcd, thenexc Dominicall day following that
fuUMoone, is to be taken tor Ealkr day. But then two "things mult
be no ted,

1. That the fulnefleofthe Moone muft be perfcftly full : So th.irit
be the beginning of the third weeke of the Moon , which is the
fourteenth or fifteenihday ©f the Moone.

2. Thatthefiidperfcfttulneflcofthe Moone, beginning the third
weeke, muft happen either in the very evening of the Equinofti-
all day, or after the Equinoftiall day : For ell'e , if it happen ei-
ther on the Equinoftiall day before the evening, or before the
fquinoftiall, it belongeth tothelaft raoneth of the laft ycere,
andnottothefirft monethofthefirffyesre,' and fo ferveth not
to be oblerved.

This rite in keeping Eafter being received in the Latine Church, began
now among the Pifts and Brictains, through the bufie travell oi Tbcu~
doTitiCttihlacuf, but namely of E/ien the holy Monke, as theyterme
him, and oiCo'.fnd^ Abbot ofSlrrfm.
This Coif rid wrote alfo to Narcanm, or Naho/im the king of the Pifts con-
cerning thefhaving of prlefts crowncs, as neceflary to the vow of a
Monke, or degree of a Prieft, for reftrainr. And thus began this ceremo-
ny.without any proofeof Scripture.
Pope Grcgmy the fecond is mentioned pag.i 6j.^

iCing Ive yet ;eigning, being the thirty (eventhyeereof his reigne , is im-
portunately perfwaded by his QnecncErWiK'jj/ to turne Monke at
Rome: to which,whcn he did not at firltyccld, the king departing to
lbmeotherplace,theQueenecauledall the kings glorious pahcsto be
fmeared and filled with Hogs,and dung,and filth , and in their lodging
chamber was put a Sow with young pigs. Then the Queene brings
the king to that palace, faying, I pray you my lord, behold thishoufe,
where are now all the rich hangings, and clothes of gold, &c. that
were left here th^ other day ? be not all theiegone ? In like manner
(hall we vanifli away, and our bodies,now delicately fed, (hall turne
to the filth of the earth ; wherefore remember' my words, and pur-
chafe that palace that is etcrnall. Thus fliedid win the king to goe to
Piome in thehabiteofapooreman, and become a Monke ^ and fliee
her felfe became the AbbefTe' of Barking Nunnery, feven miles from
London,

This Ive was the firft I read of , of all the Saxon kings , the which did fet
forth any lawes to his people.

Next to 0/*'2czw followed CefeZ/zw-, who was a very learned man, and his
time nourifhed many learned men jjamong whom was Bedj^ who dedi-

but alfo to be amended, as fome Writers affirme.

This Beda (becaufe we have now mentioned him ) was ('as he witneC
feth in his HifVory) a Prieft of the Monaflery of P«cc and PmiI at Wire,
and borne in the territories of the fame Monaftery. He was from feven
yeeres bread up by Bf.-zff, and became a Deacon at nineteaie yeeres,
and at thirty a Prieft : From which time to the nine and fiftieth yeere,

He was exceeding watchfuU and well provided for defence of the
Sea?.

To prevent drunkcnoefle in his Subjefts, he caufed to be made cups with
pinncs to be fet in them ; adding a law^ that he that dtankeac a draught
beyond his marke, was to pay a penny ; halfeto theaccufcr, the reft to
the ruler of the towne. .

Eight Kings called JziZiEfgK/i, did homage to this Ea^jj-, whom in pomps
he made to row him in a boatCj himfelfe holding the helme.

He was given to women, and a great Monke maker, and a detlowrer of a
Nunne. For which i?OTjtj»refuled to take him by the hand, when the
King offered it ; and injoynes the King penance for lev en yeeres, of
wearing no crowne that time, of falling twice intheweeke, of libe-
rality to the poore, and building a Nunnery.

Doting Pk»jJ^« was drowned in fuperftition, if not a Sorcerer too. He

that untill the Emperor promiied the fame, he could not receive his
crowne from the Pope. For the Popes in thoft dayes had the Em-

which would not yeeld it upon any termes, that they were forced to

the Pope had wrefted his power in eleftion of Popes, inveftirig of

Legates to enter into the Empire, without his fending for, and all
appeales to B.ome. Finallyjin his letters he prefixed his name before
the Emperor.

Hereupon the Pope writes a rebuking letter to the Emperor. The Em-
peror writes backe in defence of his doings an apologeticall epiftle.
The Pope replyes with a Bull of excommnnieation. The Emperour
makes anfwer to that with accufatory letters againft the vilenefle, '

Bifhops to worke againft the Emperor .The Bifhops they write their

The King gets viftories againft the Sdadim, got Sdavonia frora the Sara-

The French King not agreeing with King Kic&jr^, returnes home, in vades
Normandy, perfwades John the Kings brother to take upon him the

King Richard hearing this, makes peace with the Turke for three yeerep.,
and returnes homeward ; who, as he was coming, by tempefl was dri-

The King is thus a Captive a yeere and thi-ec moneths.

This while the Vrtncb King warres upon Normandy, and makes Earle John^
King Richardf brother to invade England. But by the Barons he was
made flye into F«wc. Atlaft for 1 00000. pounds to the Emperour,
the King was relealed ; that money beingmade up of Chalices, CrofTes

them away they would undoe him, and his Kingdome. To which the

The next yeere th'e contention betweene the Suffragans and Monkes of
Canterbury about the iaid Eleftion, is brought before the Pope, who
pafled fentence on the Monkes fide,charging the Suffragans and BiCbops
of Canterbury henceforth to meddle no more with that Eleftion, but to

Secondly, that feeing largenefleis to be bound fail to the abbreviatiire,the fe-

ample narrations^this will tell the fame after that , without wearying eyes
or ears. And when this with its Laconicall (hortnefle, leaves the Reader
hungry, ts have feen and heard fbmewhat more, that will be ready to fill
that appetite.

Thirdly, that although the firft volume makes dilpatchin its relations,and fb
fills up its vaftneflTe with variety of ftories,till it brings us beyond the 1 500
yeerjyct the iecond and third volumes confift of few (tories, fivollen to

of themfelves, unlelTe we would turn Chronologizing into Epitoraizine,
Would winde up themfelves into a narrow CompafTe. Befides the firft and

iiEhoId : in the preface of your cpiftle di-
rcitcdto me, ye have ufcd a word of a
proud nanie,calling nie uiiivcrfall Pop ■,
which I pray your holincfft you will
ccafc- hereafter to doe, for that is dero-
gated from you, wliatfoever is attrihu-
xcd to another more than right and rcafon rcquircth. As
for me I fecke not mine advanccmcjit in words, but in
manners :ncithcr doc I account tliat any honour where-
in the iionourof my brethren I fee to be iiiiidred : for
my honour I take to be the honour of the univerfall
Church : my honour is the whole and perf^-'cl vigour ot
my brethren. Then am 1 honoured when to no man is
denied the due honour which to him belon^eth. For if
your hoUnelfe call mc univerfall Pope, in fo doing you
denyyourfelfc tobe that, which ye affirme me to be,
\univ«rfall: but that God forbid. Let thefe words there-
fore goe, which doe nothing but puffe up vanity , md
.wound charity,&c.

and Fathers. For of him ye were lirft of all inftruited,
wherefore you muft not forfake your owne father and
follow others .For he is the head of the whole Church,
to whom the Lord faid : Thou art Peter, and upon tl^is
Rockc I will build my Church, &c. Whofe feate was
firft with you in Antioeh, which afterward by thecom-
mandement of the Lord , was ti'anflated from thence
to Rome, of the which Church of Rome I am this day-
placed (by the grace of God) to be the goyernour.
From the which Church of Roine , neither ought you

to feparate your felves , feeing to the fame Church all
manner of caufes EcclefiafticaU , being of any impor-
tance ( Gods grace fo difpofmg ) are commanded to
be referred : by the fame to be ordered regularly, fi-om
whence they tooke their firfl beginning, &c. ^nO

no other Church elfe that will not fubjefl it felfe to ««l8UH»|!r,
10 our Dominion : to whom all other Bifhops whofo-
ever , as they muft needs doe ( according to the de-
crees of the Apolfles and of their fucceflrors)ought to
flie,as to have their head,and muft appeale to the famej
there to have their redrefle and their prote6lion, from

What fires, what tortures, what kind of torments were

there, but they without refpeft either of ageorfexe

SatleB hemsu Then did the earth,without doubt,her felfe bewaile

all things, being fprinckled and imbrued with their
blood, made doleful! lamentation for them, and the
day it felfe provoked to mourne, was made amazed
for them. But what is this to purpofe ? Now the ve-
ry barbarous nations rejoyce for their fakes which re-
ceived and harboured them, when they were afraid
and fled from us, keeping them, as it were, in moft

ving to the fynagogues of falfe dodfa-ine, they 'may at

that with like participation and common confent,
they may feele with us the fame deledation of minde.

the Chriftians that were of that time wordiily gave
unto them, whenthey by them were baniilied ( as un-

the Heptarchie of the Saxons. Kings of Kent, SoMthfaxifFeflJax.

^^ A Table defcribing the feven Kingddmes of the

Sax&ns^ ramnng here in England.

;N the time of Vortiger above mentioned, beganne the raigne of the Saxons in this Land,lhe which
comming out of three forts of the Germane people (to wit) the Saxons, the lutes and Angles, re-
plenifhed the Land, ofthem called now Anglia. Of whom firfl: Hengiftus raigned in Kent, which
countrey of Kent he had obtained by Rowen his daughter, of King Vortiger, which was about
the yeere of our Lord (as fome doe count) 476,or (as I find)in the computation of our Englifli Tables 455. in
fome469. AfterHengiftcameinOftha, withEoia, or Iffe his kinfman: who afterward fuceeded the faid
HengiftinKent. Not long after came in another company of the Saxons, with EUe their Captaine, which
planted themfelves in Southfax. And after them againe another garrifon of the Saxons, with Cerdice their
Captaine, which did occupy the Weft part of the Land, called by them Weftfaxon. And fo likewife the other
multitude of the Saxons after them, which as yet being unchtiftened and infidels, divided the whole Land
among themfelves into feven kingdomes, as in this Table followeth-

your travcll, therefore wcc have granted to you the

"will fend alio a Bilhop thither, whom you may thinke
mcetc to ordaine. So that if that City with other
places bordering thereby, jTiall receive the Word of
God, he fliall have powerlikewife to ordaine twelve
Bilhops, and have the honour of a Metropolitane : to

Egi &f;iio chariflimo,& in Chrifti amorecateris
, rcgibus Anglorum prsferendo Ethelbaldo, Bo-'
nifecius Archiepifcopus legatus Germanicus Romans
Ecclefia perpetuam in Chriflo charitatis falutem.
Confiftemus coram Deo, qui novit an vere atque ex
animo dicam : quando profperitatem veftram, & fi-
dem, & bona opera audimus, litamur : quando au-
tem aliquid adverfum vel in.eventu bellorum, vel de
periciilo animarum, de vobis cognofcimus, triftamur. 4^
Audivimus enim quod Eleemofynis intentus, flirta &
rapinas -prohibes, & pacem diligis, & defenfor vi-
duarum & pauperum es, & inde gratias Deo aginius.
Quod verb legitimum matrimonium fpernis, \ pro"
caftitate faceres, eflet laudabile : fed quia in luxu &
adulterio & cum fandKmonialibus volutaris, eft vi-
tuperabile & damnabile. Nam & &mam gloris
Vcftrs coram Deo & homiriibus confiindit, & in-
ter idolatras conftituit, quia templum Dei violafti.

Hifpanis contigit, quosSaraceni multis annis infefta- hiAilfitaum,
runt propter peccata priterita ? Prxterea nunciatum jiiod nm fdm
eft nobis, quod muha privilegia Ecckfianun & Mo- \nut.
nafteriorum auferens, ad hoc audendum duces tuos
exempio provoces. Sed recogita qujcfo quam terri-
bilem vindiflam Deus in Anteriores reges exercuit,
ejufdem culpa; cdnfcios, quam in te arguimus. Nam
Celredum prasdeceiTorum tuura ftupratorem fandHmo-
nialium, & Ecclefiafticorum privilegioruni fraftorem,

10 fplendide cum fuis comitibus epulantem fpiritusma-
lignus arripuit : & fine conferfione & viatico, cum
diabolo fermocinanti, & legem Dei deteftanti ani-
mam extorflt. Ofredum quoque regem Deirorum Sc
Bernicorum, earundem culparum reum, ita efFrana-
tum regem egit, ut regnum & juvenilem atatem cob-
temptibili morte amitteret. Carolus quoque prin-
ceps Francorum, Monafteriorum multorura everfor,
& Ecclefiafticarum pecuniarum in ufus proprios com--
mutator, longa torfione, & verenda morte con-

20 fumpms eft. Et mox infra : Quapropter fili cha-
riffime, paternis & obnixis precibus deprecamur/uc
non defpicias confilium patrum tuorum, qui pro Dei
amore celfitudinem tuam appellare fatagunt. Nihil
enim bono regi falubrius, quam fi talia commifli
cum arguuntur, libenter emendentur, quia per Salo-
monem dicitur : Qui diligit difcipltnaiii, diligit fa-
pientiam. Ideb, fili chariffime, oftendentes confili-
um juftum, conteftamur & obfecramus per viven-
tem Deum, & per filium ejus lefum Chriftum, & per

50 fpiritum fanftum, ut recorderis quam fugitiva fit vi-
ta prsfens, & quambrevis & momentanea deleftatio
fpurca carnis : &quam ignomim'ofiim fit ut brevis
vit2 homo mala exempla in perpetuum pofteris re-
linquat. Incipeergo melioribusmoribus vitamcom-
ponere,J& prKteritos crrore? juventutis corrigere, ut
hie coram hominibus laudem habeas & in futuro
Kterna gloria gaudeas. Valere celfitudinem tuam, &
in bonis moribus proficere optamus.

Nobilitas innata tibi probitatis honorem,
Armipotens Alfrede, dedit, probitafque laborers,
Perpetuumque labor nomen, cui mixta dolori
Gaudia Temper erant, fpes feniper mixta timori .
Si modb viflor eras, ad craftina bella pavebas.
Si modo vifhis eras, ad craftina bella parabas.
Cui veftes fudore jugi, cui ficca cruore
Tinfta jugi, quantum fit onus regnare, probarunti
Non fuit immenfi quifquam per climata mundi,
Cui tot in adverfis nil refpirare liceret.
Nee tamen am ferro contritus ponere ferrum,
Aut gladio potuit, viti iinifle dolores.
lam poft tranfaftos vita; regnique labores,
Chriftus ei fit vera quies, fceptrumque peienne.

but becaufe that I had rather paflc over my life, like
j.pilgrimeor private perfon , then for any fame or
glory (;oclinibe up to it; I doe acknowledge ( and ■
that worthily ) all this to come of thy grace, and not
of my merits, that this charge over Chriftian peo-
ple, and this power of binding and loofing is com-
mitted to mee. Whejefore, trufting upon this affii-
ranceforthe dignity aqd tuition of hply Church ill'
the Name of God omnipotent, the Father, the Sonne,
and the Holy Ghofl, I doe here depofe Henrie , the
fonne of Henry once the Emperour , from his impe-
riailfeat, and princely governement, who hath fo
boldly and prefumptuoully laid hands upon thy
Church. And furthermore , all fuch as heretofore
have fworne to bee his fubjedls , I releafe .them of
their oath, whereby all fubjeds are bound to the ^-
legiance of their Princes. For it is meete and conve-
nient that he fhould be voyde of dignity , which
feeketh to diminilTi the Majelly of thy Church.
Moreover, forthathehath contemned my monitions,
tendingto his health and wealth of his people ; and
hath fepdrate himfelfe from the fellow fhip of the
Church ( which he,through his feditions, ftudiethto
deftroy ) therefore I binde himby vertueofexcom--
munication , trufting and knowing moft certainely,
tliat thou art Peter ( in the Rocke of whom as in
the tme foundation ) Chriil pur Kmg hath built his
Church.

The tenor of the Emperours Letter
fcnt through all his Empire.

FOr fo much as the providence of God Cwhereof de.
pendeth all power both in Heaven and Earth) hath

reiem hemiifcute: that is ; Feare God, honoiir your
Kingrtherefore, who fo faith that we have aiwd poflfefle jSetc.
our emperiall Kingdome by the benefit of the Lord
Pope,is contrary both to the ordinance of God, and to
the doftrine of Peter , and alfo Hull be reproved for
a lier.

Therefore as our endevour hath been heretofore
to help and to deliver the fervile captivity of Churches
out of the hani, and from the yoke of the Egyptians,
50 andtoniaintaine the right of their liberties and dig-
nities , we defire you all with your compaffion to la-
ment with us this flanderous ignominy inferred to uS
and our Kingdome , trufting that your 6ithfoll gotsd
will , which hath been ever trufly to the honour of
this Empire(n^ver yet blemi&edfrom the firftbegin-
ningofthisC^ty, and of religion ) will provide , that
itfhillhavenft hurt through the ftrange novelty and
prefumptuous pride of fuch. Which thing rather then
it iTiould aome to pafle, know you this forcertaine; I

committed to us.his annointed . this our regiment and <?0 had rather incurre the danger of death,then fuffer fuch

Empire to be governed^and the peace of his Churches
by our impcriall armes to be protedted ; we cannot but
lament and complaine to you with great Ibrrow of
heart , feeing fuch caufes of difTcnfion the ropte and
fountaine of evils,and the infeftion of peftifcrous cor-
ruption thus to rife from the holy Church, imprinted
with the feale of peace and love of Chriil.

By reafon whereof(except God turne it away) we
feare the whole body of the Church is like to be ppUu-
ted,the unity thereof to be broken , and a fchiflne and 70 f legaoeS ini^ t|e moje gchtleneffe anOmODettp ;

A lenndfr bi(liop,&c. Your brotherhood is not ig- _ , ,
■*-* norant that it hath beene advertifcd us , how that ©0"' ai'iaita"'
upon the occafion of a certaine tranfgreflion or excefle iict to tttomail
of yours , you have determined to ceafe henceforth 'Bsc-Set.
from faying of raaflc , and to abftaine from the eonfe-
Cration of the body and blood of the Lord ; which
thing to doe, how dangerous it is (efpecially in fuch a
perfonage ) and alfo what inconvenience may rife
thereof,! will you advifcdly to confider, and dilcreetly
alfo to ponder. Your wiledome ought not to forget
what difference there is betweene them which sdviled-
ly and willingly doe offend , and thofe which through
ignorance and for neceflity fake doc oflfend.For as you
read, fo much the greater is wilful! finne , as the fame
not being voluntary is a leffer finne. Therefore if
you remember your felfe to have done any thing thas
your owne confcience doth accufe you of, whatfoever
it be, we counfell you (as a prudent and wife Prelate)
to acknowledge the lame. Which thing done, the
merciful! and pitiful! God , who hath more refpeft to
the heart of the doer then to the thing done , will re-
mit and forgive you the fame according to fiis accu-
ftomed great mercy. And we tru{Hng in the merits of
the WeffedApoflles S.Peter and Paul doe abfolve you
from the offence committed,and by the authority apo-
ftolical! we releafe you unto your fa-aternity , counlel-
ling you and commanding you, that henceforth jrou
abftaine not ( for this came ) from the celebration of
the mafle,

A Lthough to me it is unknowne (faith he) which
■^ -* am both unlettered and ignorant, what is that
thefe Bifhops here have laid, neither am I in that
tongue fo able to expreffe my mind as they have done :
yet being fcnt and charged thereunto of my Prince,
neither can nor ought I but to declare (as well as
I may) what the caufe is of our fending hither :
not (trucly) to contsnd or ftfive with aojr perfon.

nortoofFerany injury or harmeuHto any man (espe-
cially in this place ) and in the prcfencc here of
fuch an one unro wiwfc beckc and authority alj the
world doth ftoopc and yecld. But for this time it
our legacy hither dirc^cd, to prcfcnt here before
you, and in the prefence of the n'hole Church of
Rome, the devotion and love of our King and Ma-
(ler, which ever hec hath had, and yet hath ftiU
t«ward you. And that the fame might the better ap-
pcare to your excellency, he hath afligned and appoin-
ted to the furniture of this legacy, not the Icaft, but
the greateft, not the worft, but the beft and chiefell
of all his fubicdLs ; both Archbifhops, Biihops, larles.
Barons, with other Potentates more, of fuch wor-
thinelfe and parentage, that if he could have found
greater in all his Rcalmc, he would have fent them,
both for the reverence of your perfon, and of the
holy Church of Rome. Over and befide this, 1 might
adde more ( wliich your fanftitude hath fufficient-
ly tried and proved already) the true and hearty
fidelity of this our King and Soveraigne toward you^
who (in his firft entrance to his kingdome) wholly
fubmitted himfelfe, with all that is his befides, to
your will and pleafure. And truly, to teftifie of his
Majefty how he is difpofed to the unity of the ca-
tholike Faith : we believe there is none more feith-
fiiU in Chrift than he, nor more devout to God,
nor yet more moderate in keeping the unity of peace
whereunto he is called. And as I may be hold this
to protell for our King and Mafter, fo neither doe
I affirme the Archbilliop of Canturbury to be a man
deftitute or unfurnifhed with gifts and ornaments in
his kind of calling, but to be a man both fage and dif-
creet in fuch things as to him appertaine, fave on-
ly that he feemeth to fome more quicke and fharp
than needeth. This blot alone if it were nor, and if
the breach berweene our King and him had not fo
happened, both the regiments together (of the teni-
poralty and fpiritualty) might quietly have flouriflied
oncwith the other in much peace and concord, both
under a Prince fo worthy, and a Paftorfo vertuous.
Wherefore (the cafe fo ftanding as it doth) our meflage
hither, aid our fupplication to your vigilant pru-
dence is, that (through your favour and wifdome)
the necke of this diffenfion may be broken, and that
reformation of unity and love (by fome good means)
may be fought.

(f Hereby thou haft by the- _Vay ( gentle reader"^ ,
to. note and confider^ among ether things which':
here may be vnderftood, that fince the time the ostH
began to be laid and thruft vpon BJfliops, all gene-
xail councels began to lofe their libertie. For how-
could any freedome remaine for men to fpeate their
knowledge in redrefle of things, being by their oath
10 fo bound to the Pope to Ipeake nothing but on his
fide, to maiiitaine the papacie . and the Church of
Borne in all times and places ? Coniefture by thy
felfe( Chriflian reader ) what is inore hereby to bee
confidered.

As a fulnefle of the otfice,&c .Rather he might fay,the
"alnefleofhis owne piu-fe, when as Archbifhops paid
•Jo fweetly for it .Infomuch that lacobus the Archbiftiop
of Mentz,as isaboue touched a little before in the coun-
cell of Baiill, where the price was wontto be but a thou-
land florens.could not obtaine it without fixe and twen-
tiethoufandflorens,

Vpon certaine dayes,&c.This difiference there was be-
' tweene the Pope and other Archbiihops : for the Pope
' might weare the pall at all times and in all places at his
pleafure .Archbifhops might not weare it but vpon cer-
tainedayes,&in their church only within their prouince^
Moreouerthis pall fhould not be asked but with great
inllance, and within three moneths, without which pall
he is not to be named Archbilhop, but may be depoied,

hauing it not after three raonetlis rand the lame pall muft ^ ^ _^

There hath come of late to our intelligence the
elciftion of a certaine monke named Walter, to bee
cti™;cfJCIalht/^rchbifl)op of Canterbury; whereupon after that
atciWicpcf ^^.e heard and aduifed as well thofe tliincs which the
faid Monke hath faid for himfelfe and for his elefti-
on, as alfo on the contrary fide, the obiedlions and
exceptions ot the Bilhops of England alledging a-
gainft him and againi^ his eleftion, namely of the Bi-
fhop of Cheller, the Bifliop of Rochelkr, and lohn
Archdeacon of Bedford : Wee vpon the lame commit-
ted the examination, touching theperfonoftheman,
vnto our reuerend brethren Lord Cardinall Albanie,
Lord Cardinall Thomas Je Sabina, and mailer Peter,
And when the forefaideleft, coroming before them,
was asked of them , firft concerning the Lords de-
fccndinginto hell, whether he defcended in fleili, or
without his flefli , hee anfwcred not well. Item.
being asked touching the making of the body of
Chrill on the Altar, heanfwertd Tikewife notfound-
ly. Being asked moreouer howRachcU wept for her
children, fhee being dead before, hee anfwered
not well. Item, being asked concerning the fentence
of excommunication denounced againlt the order of
law, hee anfwcred not well, Againe, being required
ofmatrimony, ifoneof the married parties be anin-
fidell, and doe depart, he anfwered thereto not well.
Vpon thefe articles he was {as is faid') diligently ex-
amined of the Cardinalls; to the which wee fay hee
anfwered notonely not well, but alfo very ill. for
fo much therefore, as the church of Canterbuiy is a
noble church, and requireth a noble prelat. a man
difcreete and modeft, andfuch as ought to bee taken
out of the bofome of the church of Rome ; and for
fo much as this new eled C whom not onely heere

Dope^egojje the fame, entring then towards the matter, flieweth
fttnintj, theoccafionof his writing, which was by five obfer-

Wvnjf, vant Friers repairing that wayes, whom he gently re-

ceiving into his houfe , had conference with them
touching this difcord betweeHe the two Churches.
how it might be reduced againe to unitie : and after-
ward perceiving the faid triers to make their journey
towards Rome, he thought therefore by them to write
|p«I5rtWt5t5e his Letters. Wherein he firft lamenting this diviiion
Bl^if'''l!l"' >" the-houfe of God, and reciting the inconveniences
"'•WD' which come thereof, by tire example of luda and Ifra-

laeob, alfo of other fuch like, both private ?nd pub-
like focieties, where brother fighteth againll brother,
likeasamongllfilhesthegreaterdevourcth the leflcri
he proceedeth then further gently to exhort Pope Gre-
gorie to the lludie of unitie .

And forforouch as the Pope had accurfed ([belike)

thofe Churches of the Greckes before, hee therefore

taking his ground upon the words of Saint Paul

€alath.I. r Gal.I. ) where he accurfeth every fuch perfon and

perfons whatfoever they be, either man or Angell of

heaven that fliall preach any other gofpell than hath

beene preached, &c. willeth the Pope to Ibnd with

him upon the fame ground of the Apoftles curfe : fo

that if the ftroke ot that curfe have light upon him

or his churches, he defireth him to {hew the wound.

and to helpe to wipe away the bloud, to miniiler

fomefpirituall implallet.tobind up thefore, and to

favehis brethren from perifhmg which lay in dan-

And as touching this great difcord betweene us,
if either contrarictie of (Toftrine, or Iwarving from
the ancient Canons, ordiverfitie of rites received of
cur forefathers be any caufe thereof, wee here take
heaven and earth to witnelTe, that we tor our parts
are ready, and defire alfo, upon due tryall of pro-
ibund truth by Gods Word, and invocation of the
Holy Ghoft , to joyne hands with you, or you to

yon plaine, thrs we fuppofe, that nuny mighty and
noble Potentates would fooner incline to your obe-
dience, were it not that they feared your unjuft op-
preffions , your infatiable exaftions, and inordinate

and the feats of torments bee fet, that the bloud

your felues as an example to the iiocke : and when
the chiefe Paftor ftiall appeare, you Ihall receiue an
incorruptible Crowne of eternall glory, &c. And
this is the doftrine of Peter, as they fhal! fee, which I pet. I
doe not obey it. As for vs, the other part of the faid
Epjftle is liifficient : wherein hee willtth them to re-
joyce which are in hcauincfle through manifold
temptations, that the triall of their faith being much

4° more pretious than gold that peiifheth, and is tried
in fire, may be their laud, honour, and glorie, at the
appearing of the Lord lefus, &c. But bearc with me
I pray you ( O holy father, and of all your predecef.

be lomething fharpe, for they be fighings of a for-
rowfull heart.

Wherefore gird about your loynes with fotti- 6et)fii»jttt5

And this we know is the iudgement and faying o(^f*^^^.

Efpecially, feeing that all our predecefTours, Kings of
France, late of moft worthy memory (till thefe our
dayes) haue beene fo zealoufly affefted to the moft
high and regall flate of your Empire j and alfo that
wee, whom God hath placed (iicceffiuely to raigne
as king, haue beene no otherwife mmded nor atte-
fted towards the fame. None otherwife alfo on
their behalie haue the ancient and renowned Empe-

20 rors of Rome, our neighbours and your predecel-
fors, iTiewed themfelues towards 'vs (each other e-
fteeming the Empire and Kingdome of Fiance as
one) and faithfully conferuing together the vnity of
peace and concord . Infomuch that there hath not
chanced betweene them thefe many yeeres fo much
as one fparke ofdifcord and diffention. But this ^j,j jj„-j_-(,

you imprifoned, and foftilldeteinc the fame. Where-
at(wedoeyourmajefty towit) wee are notwellplea-

Ihmc your gracfs letter : for that tliL-y thcmfducs be-

torious alio, and to all the world rcucaled, in u hat
fort that aportolicall father hath impugned our in-
nocencie, as well with the one fword , as with the
other i and how that whilcft wcc at his commandc-
mcnt tooke our journey beyond the Seas, the lame
our great enemy and hortilc aducifarie inuaded our
kingdomcofSitilia; andtiiefame, not in one platle
or two, but in diucrs and lundry parts chercot hath
wafted, fpoyled, and dclhoyed. After this, when
with great ii. treaty at our returne from Alia, wcc
had concluded a peace with him, which with vs at
hisowne-plealiirc heC made, and had taken and rc-
ceiued our deuotion tor the fame, which in feruice-
able manner wee granted him ; the faid apoftolicall
father (that notwithftanding ) hath fince that time
rather aggrauated his dilplcafure toward vs , than
anything'at all qualified the fame; and further hath
to our depriuation and fubuerfion , excogitate and
deuifed againll vs all the mifcliiefe hee might or harh
beeneable, no caule in all the world giucn of vs to
prouoke the fame; and further hath promulgated
to our great defamation and (liame (as well by his
letters as legats) the Icntence of excommutiication
againft vs vnto all nations. LaiUy, hee aipiring to
our impcriall Hate , and confpiring our fupplantati-
on, hath made warre againft vs, as againft king Da-
uid Gods aimointed ; and hath vnto a priuate coun-
cell for that purpole called all theprelats he can get,
as one that meaneth to fet all the whole world to-
gether by the eares. But fuch is the niarucllous
wifedome of God, by whom wee line and raigne ;
who beholding the wicked purpofe hee went about:
(confounding the craftie in their craftineflc ) hathgi-
uen into our hands as well your prelates of the realme
of France, as alfo of other regions and prouinces ;
all which wee imprifon and detaine, as enemies and
aduerfaries to ourimperiall crowne andperfon. For
where there defiftcd not to bee a perfecutor, there
hath not wanted alfo a fufficient withftander and
defender. Let not therefore your kingly highncfle
maruell, although Auguftus detaineth in prifonyour
t^r^nch prelates, which haue endeuoured themfelues
toconfpire, and fo to difturbe our imperial! ellate
and regiment.Fare ye well.

good fhepherd from the flieepefold, and placeth
in their ftead Bifliops, to rule, but not to profit Qhis
nephewts, cozins, and parents) fome that know no
letters, and otherfome dumbe and deafe, which vn-
derftand not the plaine voyce of the fheepe, not co-
ring their wounds, that be hurt of the wolues : but
like hirelings, plucking off the fleeces apace, and rea-t
ping that which other men haue fowen, whofe hands
10 moreouer bee alwayeS ready in their basketsand pou-
ches, but their backs are turned from thesr burthens.
By which thine it is manifeft, that the priefthood is
cleans changed at thefe dayes, the feruice of God
decayed, almes diminiihed and brought to naught,
the whole deuotion of Kings, Princes, and ChriftL-
ans, is banifhed . May not this bee thought wonder-
fall in the eyes of all men J that whereas Chrift com-
manded tribute to becpaydto kings for him and for
Peter, hee now goeth about by dominion of hisflilc.

I match thee, O daughter of Sion ? Great is thy per-

out comfort all the day long, thou art confounded
and confumed with heauineffc. Thou art giucn vp
into the hands of him from whence thou canft not
rife without helpe of one to lift thee vp : for the
-Scribes and Pharifes fitting vpon the " '
Moyfes , the enen^ics of the Komans are as thy
Heads and Rulers : irhrping their garded phyla-
fteries, and fceking to be inrichcd with the marrow
cfthy bones, laying heaiiie burthens, and not able to
be borne vpon thy {hou'ders, and of thy mir.ifters,
and they fet thee vnder tribute, (which of old time
hafl beene free) beyond all honefly or meafure. But
fiiaruell not thereat, for thy mother, which is the la-
dy of people, like a widdow hamng married and co-

ming all that which hee in his {lilewriteth to be his?
Alacke, O daughter, what doth he yet niore againft
thee? marke, he draweth from thee whatfoeuer plea-
feth him, and yet hee thinketh not himfclfe content,
to haue tbe tenth partonely of thy goods fiom thee;
except hee haue alio the firft fruits of the benefices of
chaire of 3 ° the miniftcrs, whereby he may get a new patrimony,
as well for himfelfe as for his kindred, contrary to
the godly wils of the firft founders, Ouer and beiides
all this, hee inferreth other execrable taxes and fti-
pends for his legats and meflengers , whom hee fen-
deth into England ; which not onely take away th«
feeding and clothing of thee and thine, but alfo tcare
in peeces like dogges your fieih and skinnes. May
not this Prince bee compared to king Nebuchado-
nofeij which deftroyed the Temple of the Lord, and

pied herfelfe to her fubjeft, hath appointed him to bee 4° robbed away the filuer and golden velfcls there-

Hee magnifleth and extendeth to the vttermoft his

profitable miniftery of the Church is to be exercifed
on the right fide, by the which the deuil is ouer-

chiualry of England well remember, how the French*
men in times paft, diredling their greedy eyes on the
realme of England, labored with all their power bow
to bring the fame vnder their fubjeclion. But i: is to

THe anfwer of blfliop Eduen^in the name of the o-
ther Prclats, to the oration and articles before ob-
jefled by the Lord Peter, confifteth of two parts. Firft,
in declaring thefearedue toGod.Secondly, the honor
due to the King. Whereof the firft is.thc feare of God,
which ( he faith) confifteth in three things, I .In giuing
to God .2.1n honouring his minifiers. ^5 , In reftoring
that which hath bcene taken away, &c. The fecond,
which is.the honouring of theKing, hefaith,confifteth
in a double fort, that is ; in words only, wherein is flat-
ter)' ; and in deed : which againe he diuidethinto fours
members ; Pirft,wheii a man counfelleth a King to that
whereby his dominion is Ioued.2. When the King is
counfelled to that whereby his honor and excellency
is not diminilTied. ^ . When the King is counfelled to
that, whereby his fame and rerwwn is maintained.
4«.Whcn a King is counfelled to that, v^hereby his
confcienccis not wounded, &c. Apd this is the order
of his whole traftation. Now remaineth with like
breuity to recite the reafons and arguments in order,
whereby heproueththe premilTes, with the fubdiuifi-
onofeueiy member and part thereof Wherein the
ftudious Header may note both the fubtilc proceedings
of thefepopilli prelates,andalfo the feeble and impotent
ground whereiipon they buiU, Whofe buikjing ( as . by
this difcourfe and many other may appearc } wholly
and- finally tendeth to ihis.to maintaine their liberties,
pompe.andellimationabouc all other fecular Princes
and perfons,

firft, as concerning feare to be giueii t« God,
which. hee diuideth into three parts,in giuing,in ho-
nouring, and refloring : for the firfl,he proueth that
Pnnces ought to giue largely and without meafure to
the Church by thefe arguments .

By the teftimony of lulHnian : Although nothing is
good whichis too much, yet, &c. pag, 46(5; ccJ I.I
aiifwer, thgt in the time sf lul^iuai), goodsjthw gi»

uen to the Church, were the cfoods of the poore :
wherein was vfcd faithfull diftnbution, voluntary
giuing, and necelfary charity. But now in our popifli
Churches, reuenues and lands giuen are notdiftribu-
ted to the poore : and yetare men compelled againft
their will to giue Hill. And againe, fo little neceffitie
is now to giue to fuch, that the moft wealth ofrealmes
almoll is in their hands and boufes ; infomuch that
they, flowing in fuch wealth, are now waxen fo

10 proud, that kings canfcarce beare any rule for. them,
as was prouedbefore,pag.457.c,I.that lihe popes re-
uenues here in England, mounted to more than three
times double the ftint of the Kings Crowne. Where-
fore by the Counfell of lullinian, is was fo then, and
then might Hand, quodReligio peperit diuitias :Buc
now as the time is altered ,fo that Counlell holdeth
not, pollquam nunc filia deuorauit matrem; that is,
after that the daughter hath deuoured the mother.
Finally, concerning mens gluing to the Church in thefe

20 ourpopiih dales, Foure faults I note :

Firft,that they giuefuperfliioufly more than fufficienc Religiope "■
istoneceffityoflife. ^r ■ ■ P^ltdiuidas:

Secondly, that they giue to fuch as abufe it wic- nuncfiliade

Thirdly, thatin giuing to them that need not, no- matrem.

ble men in meant time defraud their pooje neighbours, ^ JiicommoBia

which need indeed,and yet do not complaine, tieatiatcome i

Fourthly .becaufe of this title of giuing,menhaue vfed waiumatotJt t

and yet doe vfe to put great hope of faluation therein, ''^'"■^*

, Q contrary to the telbment of God in Chrilis death. '

' whereof examples are before.

Pag. 4^5. col. I . Abel oftered of the beft to the jpas,466,»ll,'
Lord, and was bleffed of God. Ergo, euery great man
that would be bleffed of God, muft ofier of the belt
he hath vnto the Church. Anfwer : This argument as
it is Erie fet, fo it is foone anfweted, wherein three
notes are to be obferued .

Firft, that hee, which oflFereth vnto the Chursh of Ei)!ec fti;i0(fa
God, doth not therein offer vnto God immediatly as JfiwttBjmoCi
Abel did, _ ^Moftf™

^ Secondly, neither is this to bee granted, that hee ffijiiiftji,
which ofFereth to all Churchmen, offerefh by and by
to the Church of God: for many times the Church-
men are one; and the Church of God is another. Lau-
rence the martyr, {hewing forth she Church of God,
brought out the poore of the parifh, and not of the
Priefts of the Church.

The third note isj that if noble perfons (hould of-
fer vnto God (by theexample of Abel ) that which is
the beft and facteft of the flocks; thsn fhould they

5'-' offer vnto the Lord of their flock onely, and not of
their lands. Yea, and to note the very truth, they arc
taught thereby to offer to God, neither cattell nor
lands, but that which is the very beft, that is their
ownebodics for aliuely facrificetoGod. Hethat of-_
ferethvp to God a proud heart, and killeth it with "^^'I*-* .
the axe of humility, giuetfa vnto him the belt and
fattcft buUockchehath in all his flock.Withlikcrea^
fonalfoIanfwertheplaceofNum.lS. and of P-nral.

g cap.vlt. tliat to offer vp, or to feparate vnto the Lords 13ag,4t.MJ.I« ■
trcafury, is not now to giue to Priefts and chaplaines of
the Church, which peraduenture haue more than they
doe well occupy : but to giu? liberally to the com-
mumon of Saints, wiiich are needy, and are the true
trcafury of the Church indeed, as Laurence the true
treafuierfaid.

U ., . Secondly, to confider how farre this honour ex-

tcndeth : as no nun doth deny,but thefe pallors are
worthy their double honour, which rule w ell ^ fo if
they adminiller not their office well, they are vnder
the oucrfight of the King bearing the tcinporall
fword, worthy of double punilliment. And yet to
confider this double honour in them that rule well,
how farre it doth extend : if it be compared to the
honour due to our parents, cafe of neccflity will
foone decide it. For be it that our parents on the one
fide, and Pallor of the other, Hand in extrcame need
of the fonnes fupportation, wherein he can heipe but
the one : nature, I fuppofe, will and ought iboncr
run, and the word of Chrift will fooner driue vs to
our father, than tothePriefts Corban, Markey. So
that this dillindtion here may haue place; that as
the one ftandeth vpon merit of vertue, fo the ether
ftandeth vponmeere duty of iieceiTity .
^ii\i^,^9\A Pag. 4.(57. col. 2. Theie jurifdidions temporall 40
and fpirituall are compatible in one perfon. Anfwcr.
I grant pro ratione fubjedi : That is, in the fubieft it
felfe there is no caufc to the contrary, but thefe voca-
;tions may be exercifed both of one perfon, as they
haue been of the Pope, one after the other, i_and fo
may contrary formes alfo) and yet the popes perfon
.hath beene able to fuilainc them both. But now
here is to bee confidered, not what the nature of the
lubjeft is able to beare by Logick, but what order
is taken herein by the will of God, whofe order is , q
!this: That they, which with Peter are called to the '
ifceding of the flock, fhould leaiic their fifcing-nets,
and filh for men; and that they, wliich labour in the
-warfare of the Lord, fhould not intangle themfdues
with the bufinefie of tlois Jife, whereby they may be
.more free to pleafe him, whofe iouldiers they are.

T Sabell by the grace of God, Quecne of EngLtnd, La-

Edward the firft fonne of the King of England, Duke
of Guyan, Earle of Chefter, of Pountif, and of ^{Gun-
ftrell, to the Maior and all thecommunalty of London,
fend greeting.For as much as we have before this time
fenttoyouby ourLetters,and how we come into this
Land in good array, and good manner, for the profit of
Holy Church, and of our right deare Lord and King,
and all theReahne, with all our might and ftrength to
keepe and maintaine the Rcalme^ as all good people
ought to doe : and upon that wee prayed you and de-
fired you that yee would bee helping to us for the
health and profit of the Realme; and wfe have had
noneanfwerof you, nor know not your will in that
part. Wherefore wee fend to you againe^ and pray
you, and charge you, thar yee beare you fo toward us,
that ye have nor make us nocaufe to grieve, but that ye
be helping to us in all the wayes that you may. And
weet ye well in certaine, that wee and alfo thofe that '
come with us into this realme, intend nothing to bee
done, but what fhall be pleafing to God, and the com-
mon profit to all the Realme : nor any thing elfe, but to
deftroy the Spenfers, enemies to the Realme, as ye
well know. Wherefore wee pray and charge you in
the faith that ye owe to our Lord the King, to the
crowne and to us, and upon all that wee may forfeit,
that if Hugh Spenfer, both the father and the fonne
our enemies, come within your power, that yee caufe
them haftily to be taken, and fafely kept, till wee have
Ordained for them our will , as yee defire profitand ho-
nour of us, and of the Realme. Vnderftanding well, if
it befothatyedoe our defire and prayer, we fliall the
more be beholden to you : And alfo wee fliall doe you
profit and worlTiip if that you fend us h*iily word
againeof yourwill. Given at Baldockethe fixth day

calamities and misfortunes before rehearfed, and there-
upon called a parliament : wherein the prtlats nobl-
men and other the faithtull fubjeftsofour dominions*
granted vnto vs a new fublijy of corn'., lambe, wool)
&:c befides the tenth granted by the dergie : whicfj
lubfidie(if It had bccne faithfully colleded and obtai-

contufion of our enemies. Our faid ArchbilTiop pro-
milcddiligcntlytodoehiscndeauour, as veilincoUe-

tofciue to our purpofc. Whereupon trultingvnto thefe
faiiepromifcs,hauini;alltlungsm a readincfTe, both

Flanders, and by the uay vpon the dangerous Seas
buckled with our enemies (fworne to the diflrudlion
of our Englifh nation) of whom wee triumphed and
were viflors, not by our merits (their mukitude I'arre
exceeding ours J but by the merciiull clemencie of
him that ruleth both winde and fea. Which being
done, wee paired from thence with a mightjc power
fortherecouene of our right, and pitched our tents
ncere vnto the puili'ant citie of Tourney : where be-
ing detained for a time in the fiege thereof and wea-
ried with continuall toile , our chaises ftill increa-

fhem, haue malicioufly gone afcout to depraue the
laudable endeauour of Kings. And now that the words
which wee fpeakc may bee more manifcfl vnto our
fubjefts ; wee fuppofe that neither you nor they hauc
forgotten, that wee being cflabliiTicd in our kingly
throne in yonger yceres, and coueting euen then to
guide this our regall charge taken ypon vs with
wholefome counfel's, haue called vpon vs lohn the
bifhop of Winchefler, now Archbifhop of Canter-

melfengcrs and fundry letters, our great necellkie
and perils which wee we re in tor lacke of the laid fub-
fidie granted vntJO vs. We added alfo the vtihtie and
honour, which wee law might be atchieucd, if we had
receiuedmonyintime. All this notwithlhndimj we
rceeiuedfrom them no fuccour at all; for thar,^ pre-
ferring their priuate bufinefle and proper c<»mmcdi-
ties, they cloaked their floth, or rather (as I may call
it,- their fraud and malice with vaine excufcs , and

tion to exceed others : whofe counfell in matters ap- '° paiilted glofing words, like vnto the deceitful].

pcitaining vnto the health of our foule, as in matters
alfo refpefting the augmenting and cpnferuation of
our kingdome both Ijjiritually and temporally wee
vfed,and he was receiued of vs into all familiaritie .

lord Philip of Valois holden from vs : the laid archbi-
Ihopby his importune inllancie pertwaded vs to en-
ter league of amitie with the princes of Almaine a-
gaTnll the faid Philip, and to commit our felfe and
ours vnto the hazaid of warres; promifing and affir-
ming that hee would bring to paile, that the reuenueS
6foarlands,an'dother helpes by himdeuifed, fliould
fuffice aboundantly for the maintenance of our did
wars': Adding mOreoner that our onely care fliould
bee for the furniture of ftrorg and able fouldiers, fuch

with infinite debts, neither had wee in our treafuries
wherewith to difcharge our nccelTities, nor yet to
pay our fouldiers wages : infomuch, that wee were
compelled to enter into the deuouring golfe of vfury,
and to fuftaine on our ihouldcrs great burthens of
debts, heape vpon heape. This beir.g done, ou^taith-
fiill friends, companions in warres, and partaters of
our tribulations came vntovs, with whom we con-
fuked diligently by what meanes wecniight bellde-
liuer our felues from this dangerous ff orme of cuill

that we had leftfo long vncorreited the infolency of
the Bifliops and other officers") that if remedy in thefe
cafes w=re not had with fpeede, they would witli-
draw themfelsies from our allegiance, and the coue-
nant which they had Iworne vnto; to the vtter fub-
uerfion ol our kingdome , and perpetuall ignominy ,
and the euerlafting fhame of our Erglifli Nation ,
which God our moft merciful! father torbid fliould
come to pafle in our dayes, in whom is fixed immo-
ueably the anchor of our hope. Whereupon inten-
ding the due corredion of our officers, wee remooued
from offices (as feemed good to our wifedome) di-
vers perfons, whom wee fufcefted in caufeseuidentj
of euill adminiftration of juffice^ of fubuerfion, and
oppreffionof our fubje£ts, of corruption, of bribes ,
and other hainous offences. Others alfo of inferior
degree offending in the premifles, wee caufed to bee
detained in lafe culfody; left by their liberty, juftice
might be troden vnder foote, and the inquiiition of
the truth concerning the premilTes not to come to
light, Forafmuch therefore as the knowledge of the
truth in thefe cafes might of none more certainely
beknowne, than from the fecretbreft of our fcrefaid
archbifliop, for that nothing pertaining to our in-
formation ought to lye hid from him, vnto whom of
fo long a time had beene committed the adminiilra-
tion of our whole common-weale, and I'umme of
ourbufineife : Wee fent vnto him our faithluU fub-
jedl Nicolas de Cantilupe with fpeciall commande-
ments from vs, that all delayes fet apart hee fhould
forthwith make his perfonall appearance before vs
ac our citie of London. But hee (as one alwayes ti-
morous as well in piofperity as in aduerfit}', and fea-
ring where no feare was ) vntruely alleagetk ih-at
fome of our aflillants had threatned him, and laid
waite for hisHfe, ifatany time he departed from the
ehurchof Cant, which (God wee take to witneiTe
and a pure confcience ) wee neuer meant nor any of
ouraffiftants, i . ■

We luppofe he touched thereby our cofin,although to
all other as well of the clergy as commonalty through
his malicious mifdemeanors he was become cdious.aT

Wherefore, intending the lafegard of our fubjefls.
by letters or otherwife called before vs, .wee appoip-.
ted our tnifty and welbelcued Ralfe Stafford our
harbinger, to offer vnto him fare conduct, and nwre-
ouer to-prefert vnto him our letters patents -visdier
our feale; willing and commanding him thereby ^t
gaine perfonally to come before vs, that wee might
be informed what of fa long a time hee had doiie-pou-
ching the affaires of the kingdome, Whereunto ceii-
temningour commandement and gentle requell:, hee
anfwereth, tliat neither he would in petfon appeare,
neither yet in any matter conferre with vs, except it
were in a full parliament, which fordiuers reafonable
caufes could not then bee called. Thus may you fee
this archbiihop whom our royall benigratie had am-
plified with Urge honors, admitted into all faniiliari-
tj', receiued into the bond of vnanimitie and fnend-
fliip, vpon whom as on a father our whole hope did
cotifift (who,fo long as wee accomplifhed his will in
all things, pretended towards vs a face of counter-
feite loue , cloaked with diffembling beneuolence, e-
uenas though hee had beene a louing father ) how
cruellyagainftreafonhehathnow forfaken vs, requi-
ting benefits with ingratitude, oppreffmg his bene-
fa&or with the arrogancy of feare : and finally (accor-
ding to the vulgar prouerbe) rewarded. vs as a horfe
in a fitchell, a fnakein amansbofome, and fire che-
riflied next the skin, rewardeththeir receiuers. When
wee were firft exalted vnto the throne of our king-
dome , defcended Vnto vs by right of inheritance
(Gods diuine prouidence fo working ) wee thought,
and alwayes chinke it a deteftable thing to abuie fo
high authoritie, but rather defire to gouerne with
clemencic, lenity, and moderation of juiHce, . that
peace, of all men delired, might firmely take place.

and pubhfhing abroad in diuers places, that hee was ^"^'
oppreffed by the kings power contrary to juftice ,
the clcrgie and commonaltie confounded , and the
Church ouercharged with diuers grieuous taxes and
exaaions. Hee lubtilly vfurpcd the name of a good

10 pallor, when indeede he was nothing leffe, butriither
(as it fliould feeme by his owne confeff.on , and the
common opinion had of him) a very hireling. Hee
cloaked his craftie lubtilneiTe with the 2eale of de-
tending the chui-ch,although hee himfelfe in very deed
was the onely caufe, by his euill ccunfell and craftie
dcuiccs.of the tribulation of the fame. He alfo t'ained
that not long agoe, certaine writings were brought
vnto him to bee fealed, containing in effeS the de-
fence and excufation of all fuch in generall that

20 were violaters of the liberties of the Chuich : ho-
ping thei-cby to defame the opinion had of vs and
our faithfull counfellors, to ftirre vp fedition amongft
the people, and finally to withdraw from vs the heartg
of .cur nobditie. Hee gave commandem.ent by his

And on the morrow after the alTumption of our lady„
the king paffed the water of Seane, and marched to-
ward Poifie, which is a toWne of great defence and
ftrongly , immured , and a maruelfous ftrong caftk
within the fame, which our enemies kept. And when
our vandguard was pafled the towne, our rereguard
gaue an affauit thereunto and tooke the fame : where
were flaine more than three hundred men at armes

t)'»of Baia imrnediatly yeelded it felfe of his owne
accord, fearing kft their counlels had beene bewraied .
After this ths" Lord, our. King direfted his progreffe
toward Roane : Who being at the towne of L?xon,
there came ccrtaine cardinals to him, greatly exhor-
tinghim to peace. Which cardinals being courteoufly
entertained of the King for the reuerence of the
Popes Sea, it was thu's anfwered to them againe; That

the King being much defiious of peace, had affaied by 20 of our enemies part. And the next day following ,

the fame; and therefore hath offered conditions and
manifold way es of peace, to bee had tothenofmall
prejudice of his owne caufe. And yet is ready to ad-
mit any reafonable offer of peace, if by any meanes
it may befoughl,&c. With this anfwer the cardinals
going to the French King the Kings aduerfary, -to
perfwa.de with him in like manner, returned to Kiag

the king marched toward graund Villers, aiid while
he was there encamped , the kings vandgard was de-
fcried by the men of armes by the King Bename :

hope alio of obtaining more , i£ intreaty of peace
might be obtained. But forfomuchas that contented
not enough tlie Kings mind,neither did the cardinals
find the French King fo tradable and propenfe to the
ifudy of peace as they looked for, the cardinals re-
turned, leaning the matter as they found it. And fo
theKingfpeeding forward, by the way as his journy

in two leagues of Amiens : of whom wee tooke 8.
and flue 12 . of their bell men at-, armes ; the reft be-

great army, who iiotwithllanding being well man-

towne of Poifie , the day betorc the afliiraption of
our Lady, where was a certaine bridge ouer the wa-

■King tarried there fo long till that the bridge was

] there came "a grea; number ef men at aitnes, and

flew toure hundred men at armes, and kept the towne,
where they found great ftore of viftuals. The fame
night encamped the King of England in the forreft of
Crelfy vpon the fame 'water, for that the French
Kings holl came on the other fide of the towne neere
vnto our paflage : but hee would not take the water
of vs, and fo marched toward Abeuyle, And vpoa

French King, which marched toward vs in foure
great battles. And hauing then vnderftanding of

whichwas fore and cruell, and induredlong, for our

ponder well the tragicall rages, the miferable and raoft forrowfuU perfecutions,murthers,and vexa-

be put out of all doubt, and know that not onely Antichrift is already come, but

T r.fiis Cluift that wa? yborc of the maidc Marie, have
■* oiitliy (Hiorc llivants mercy and ptic, and helpc
tlicniin thtir great need to fight ac;aiMlHinnc, and a-
gainll the divell that is autlior ot finiie.nnd more need •
ncH'e there never was to crie to Chrili for lulpc, than
ii is riglit nov. . Kor it is fulfilled that God faid by IfaV
the Propliet, ycerifethiip earlich to follow drniiken-
nelTe, and lo drinke tillit he evcn.tlieHarpc and other
niinltrellics becth in your fcalh and w inc. But the
workc ot God ye ne beholdeth nor, ne taketh nokcepc
to the workcs ot his hands : And therefore my people
is cake priibiicr, for they ne had no cunning. And the
noblcnien of my people dcyedcn for himgcr, and the
multitude of my people wercn drie for thirfi_, and
thcixforc hell hath drawne abrodc their foulc_, and hath
yopcncd his mouth without any end. And eftfoones
faith Ilay the prophet ; The Word is floten away, and
the highneife of the people is ymadc |ic!:c, and th:
carthisintcflof his woimyers, tor they have broken
mylawcs.and ychangcd my right, and ban deftroycd
mine everlafimg bond and " forward betwccne them
and me. And therefore curfing Ihall devonre tlie earth,
and they that wonncth on the earthly fballen done
linne. And tlieicfoie the earth lilyars fliuUen ware
wood, and few men fjmllen ben yleft upon the earth.
And yet liiith Ifay the prophct.This faith God,Foral-
much as this people nigheth'mc with their mouth, and
glorificth me with their lips, and their heart is fane
trom me ; And they han ydrad more mens commande-
ment, than mine, and more draw to their doiSrines,
than mine ; Therefore w ill I make a great wondring
unto this people, wifedome ihall peiifli away from
wife men, and undcrlhnding of ready men fliall bee
yhid. And ib it feemeth that another laying of Hay is
tulfilled, here as God bad him goe teach "the people,
and faid, Goe forth and lay to this people : Eares have
ye,andunderftaiidyenot,andeyes ye have and fight,
ne know ye not. Make blind the heart of tlijs people,
and make their cares hea\ie, and clofe their eyen, kit
lie fee with his eync, and }'heare with his eares, and un-
derltand with his heart, and be yturncd, and ych hcale
himof hisfickneffe. And Hay faid to God; How long
Lord fliall this bee? And God faid. For to that the ci-
ties ben dcfolate w'ithouten a wonnier, and an houfe
withoutenaman.

Heereismychelhedefdrto make forrow, and to
crie to our Lord lefus Chrilt heartilich for helpe and
tor fuccour, that hce wole forgive us our finhes, and
givcus grace and conning to fervcii him better here-
after. And God of his endlefle mcrtie give us grace
and conning tnilich to tellen which is Chrifts
lawin helping of mens follies ; forwe beth lewd men
and finnill men, and uncunning, and if hee woU bee
our helpe and our fuccour, we ihuUen well pcrioiTne
our purpofe. And bleffedbe our Lord God that hideth
his w ifedome from 'tt'ile men, and fro readie men, and
teachethit to fmall children; as Chrilt tcatheth in the

and Man, borne of the maide Mary, hee taught here
in this world to bring man out of finne, and out of
the divels thraldome and fervice to heaven, that is a
land of blifte and heritage, to all tho that beleeven
onhim,andkeepenhis commandements, and for his
teaching hee was done to the death. But the third day
hee arofe againe from death to life, and fet Adam and
Eve, and many otherfolke out of hell, and afterward
he came to his Difciplcs, and comforted them. After,
hee ftied up to heaven to his father, and tho he lent the
holy Gholl amongft his Dilciples , and in time com-
raing, hee will come and demen all mankinde after
their workes, and after . the words hee fpake upon
earth; fome to blilTe, within body and in loule ever
withouten end ; and fome to paine withouten end,
both i n body and in foule .

Thisisour beleeve and all chriiten mens, and this
beleeveis thefiift point of the new Tciiament, that

rather to fuffer the death, then forfaken thisbeleevc; ^q lawes and their curiings, than Chrift and his lawes

and fo this beleeve is the bread of fpiritualllife, in for-

of life to drinke. And who that drinketh of that wa-

feth feven commandements.

Thefecond commandement is of meeknelfe, in the
which Chrift chargeth us to foifake lordlliip upon

but thou anlwereft them and faideft ; when ye feeth
man Ibone ftiuen vp there he was rather, the fpirit is
that maketh you liue, the words that ych haue fpo-
ken to you ben fpirit and life. Lord, ybleffed mote
thou be, for in this word thou teacheft vs that he that
keepeth thy words, and doth after them, eateth thy
flefh, and drinketh thy bloud, and hath an euerlafting
life in thee. And for we flioulden haue minde of this

en thee but a little and fhortlich, thou wiltthinken jo liuing, thou gaueil vs the facrameht of thy flefli and

on vs, andgranten vs that vs nedeth, for fothou<ibe-
hitcd vs fometime. And Lord I trow, that pray a
man neuer fo many cjuaint prayers, gif hee ne keepe
not thine heib.hee is not thy goodferuant. But git
hee keepe thine hefts, then hee is thy good feraant.
And fome thinkefh. Lord, that praying of long prat-
ers ne is not the leruice that thou defirell, but kee-
ping of thine hefts : and then a lewd man may ferue
God as well as a man of religion ; though that the

blood, in forme of bread and wine at thy flipper, be-
fore that thou fhouldeft fuffef thy death, and took*
bread in thine hand, and laideft; Take ye this, and eats
it, ioritismy body : and thou tookeft wine, and blef-
fedft it, and faid ; This is the bloud of a new and an
euerlafting Teftament, that fliall be fhed for many
men in forgiuenefle of fins: as oft as ye done this, do
ye this in mind of me. '

Lord, Ezechiel the Propiiet faith, that when he
fpake to the people thy words, they turned thy
words into fongs and into tales. And fo Lord men
done now : they fing in merilich thy words, and that

husbandmen that well gouerne their houfliolds, both
V iues and children, and their meiny, they ordeiiied

he that fulfiUeth thy words, he fherieth thee full well,
though hee weepe more than fing : and I trow tliac

words. And would God that men would ferue him

ward feruen thee in mirth. For Chrift laith ; yblefled
ben they that maken forrow, for they fhoulden ben
yconfortcd. And woe to them that ben merry, and
haue their comfort in this world. And Chrilt faid,
that the w orld fhould joycn, and his feruants fhulden
be forryj but their Ibrrow iTiould be turned into joy,

A Lord, hee that clepeth liimfelfe tliy vicar vpon
earth hath yordained an order of Prieils to doe thy
feruice in Church to fore thy lewd people in finging
itiattens, euenfong, and malfe. And therefore hee
chargeth lewd men in paine of curfing, to bring to
his I'riefls tithings and offrings to finden his Priellsj
and he depth that Gods j^t,'and due to Priefts that
feruen him in Church.

But Lord, in the old law the tithings of tlie lewd
people ne were not due to priefts, but to that other
childer of Leui that ferueden thee in the temple, and
the prieft hadden their part of facrifices, and the firft
bygeten bcafts and otlier things as the law telleth.
And Lord S .Paul thy feruant faith, that the order of
the priefthood of Aaron ceafed in Chrifts comming

But all this is turned vpfedowne: for now w+iofo

All thefe things well confidered, now remaineth in
the Church to be marked; that forfomuch as thefe friers

being contented with the tellament of God in his Son
Chrift, began to fpring the fame time, when as Satan
was prophciied to be let loofe, by the order of the
Scripture i whether therefore it is to be doubted, that
thefe frrers make vp the body of antichrift, which is
prophefiedto come in the Chiu-ch.or not: which is
much lefle to be doubted .bccaufe who fo lift to try fhall
finde,thatofall other enemies of Chrift, ofwhom fame

cording to the fentcnce of the Philofopher, by too
much irnmoderatt incqualitic or difparjtic ot Citi-
zen? the commonwcaltli talleth to riiine. Contrary,
where mediocritie, that is, where a mcaiic incquahtie
withfomc proportion is kept, that policic ftandcth
firmc and more furc to continue. Now among all the
politickc jcginicnts of the Gentiles, I thiiikc none is
to be tound m hillorics, wherein is to be fcene fo great
and exceeding oddcs, as in the policic of prielh : Ot
whomibme bcefo high, that rhcy exccede all princes of lo
the earth; lome againc be fo bafc, that they are vn-
dcr all rafcals, fo that fuch a policic or common-
wealth pay well be called Oligarchia.

This may wee piainely fee and learne in the body
of man, to the which Plutarchus (writing to Thraci-
nius) doth femblably compare the commonwealth.
In the v/hich body, if the iullenance rccciucd fhould
all run to one member, lo that that member fhould
be too mych exceedingly pampered, and all the other
parts too much pined, that body could not long con- 20
tipue:Soin the body of the wealth ecclefiallicall, if
fomewlio bee the heads befo cnormely ouergrownein
riches and dignitie, that the weaker members of the
body bpfcantable tobeare them vp, there is a great
token of diffolution and ruine ftiortly. Whereupon
commcth well in place the faying of the prophet Elay;
Eueryheadisfickc, cuery heart is full of forrow : of
the which heads it is alfofpoken in the Prophet Amos, .^
chap.5. Woe beto the fecure, proud and wealthy in ^
Sion, and tofuchasthinkethemlelues fo fecure vpon
the mount ot Samaria, taking thcnafelues as heads and
rulers ouer other, Src. And moreouer in the faid pro-
phet Efay it foUoweth : From the top of the head to the
foleof thefootcthereisnow'holepart in all the body,
to wit,in the inferiors, becaufe they are not able to liue
forpouertic; in the fuperiour, becaufe for their ex-
ccfliue riches, they are left from doing good. And it
foUoweth in the fame place; But all are wounds, and
botches, and ftri pes. Behold here the danger comming,
the wounds of difcord anddiuilion, the botch or fore
©f rancor andenuyj the fwelling ftripe of rebellion and ^
mifchiele.

The fourth figne is the pride of prelates. Somethere
hauebeene which fondly haue difputed ofthepouer-
tie ofChrift,and haueinueycdagaintt the prelats, be-
caufe they line not in pouerty of the faints. But this
phantifie commeth of the ignorance of morall phi-
lofophie and diuinitie, and of the defefl of naturall
prudence : for that in all nations and by common
lawes,prisrts haue had and ought to haue wherewith 5
tgluftaine chemfelues more honeftly than the vulgar
fort,and prelats more honeftly than the fnbjefts. But
yet hereby is not permitted to th;m their great hor-
lc$,their troopes of Rorfemen, their fuperfluous pompe
of their waiting men and great families, which fcarf-
ly can be maintained without pride, neither can bee
fuftained with fafe juftice, and many not without
fighting and injuries inconuenient ; not much vnlike
to that as lulbne the hiftorian writeth of the Car-
thaginenfes : The family (faith he) of fo great empe- °°
rors was intollerable to fuch a free citie. In lemblable
wife, this great pride in the Church of God (efpeci-
ally in thefc daies]) doth moue not fo few to due reue-
rence,as many to indignation; and yet moe to thofe
tlungs aforefaid, which thinke no lefle but to doe fa-
crifice to God if they may rob and fpoile ccrtaine fat
priefts and perfons, namely fuch as neither haue no-
bilitie of blood, and leffe learning to bearc themtlues
vpon/but are llers, feruile and fraudulent, to whom
the Lord fpeaketh by his prophet, Amos 4. Heare
you fatted kine of Samaria, ye that doe poore men yo
wrong.and opprefle the needy, the day {hall come vpon
you,&c.

The lift figne is the tyranny of the prelats and pre-
fidents, which as it is a violent thing, fo it cannot bee
long laftmg. For as Salomon faith. Cap. 1(5 .For it was
requifite that (without anyexcufe) deflruftion fliould
some vpon thofe which cxercifed tyrannie. The pro-

perty ofa tyrant is not tpfeeke the commodJ<ie of hfj

lubjc^, but onely his will and profit. Such were (he 0« iwtemyof

paltorsthat fed not the Lordi flockc, but fed thcm-I'"'*""»WI'

that feed thcmlcluts . Should not the fliepherds feed

the flockcs? With many other thrcatninpi agiinft

them in the laid chapter. Woe bee ynto them which

rcjoyceatthe tranfgicmons of fuch whom itlicthin

thtu powxr to condcmne , neither doc they feeke

what hee is able to pay; to whom crieth Michcas the

prophct.chap.j.Yce hate the good and loue theetiill. ^^'«-l««|»

ye pluck oft mens skins and the flefli from the bones ;

yceatcthcflefliofmypeople, and flay otf their skin ;

ye brcake their bones, yc chop them in petcesas it

wcic into a caldron, and as fltlT-, into tfic pot, &c.

And therefore the forclaid Ezechicl pronounccth :

Behold, I wdlmyfellccomcvpon the fheplierds, and p , . -, ■

require my Ihcepe from their hands, and make them ''^'^<^" if.

ceale from feeding my flieepe , yea the fliepherds

jhall fccdc themfclues no more, for 1 will dcliucr my

fbeepe out of their mouthes, fo that they fliall no:

deuourc them any more.

Thefixt figne is in promoting of the vnworthy f fi.Sijnfc .»
andot neleding them that bee worthy. This, as A- PjoiiMinsef
riftotle faich, is agreatcaufe many times of the diflfo- *!(}„''*-'"'•'
lution of common weales. And oftentimes it (o hap-
peneth in the wars of Princes, that the contempt ahd
Imall regarding of the valiant , and the exalting of
others that bee lefTe worthy, ingcndreth diuers kinds
andkindhngsoffedition. For by the reafon partly of
the fame, partly of the other caufe aboiie recited, wee
haue read not onely in bookes, but hauefccne with our
eyes, diuen flourifhing cities well ncere fubucrted :
Whereas good men be not made ol^ but arc vexed
>\ith forrow and griefe by the euill; the contention
at length bralfeth out vpon the prince, as Haymo re- '^^f*?
citethoutof Origen, This alwayes hath beentheper-
uerfe incrcdulitieofmans hard heart, and that not on-
ly in hearing, but alfo in feeing : yet will they not bc-
leeue that other haue periftied, vnlclle they alfopcrift
themfelues.

The feuenth figne is the tribulation of outward 7''SIS'«-
policy and commotions of the people , which in a
great part is now happened already. And therefore
forafmuchas Seneca faith; Men doe complaine com-
monly that euils onely come fo fart; It is to bee feared

hath put under your power and governance, being fo
famous and renowned in valiancy and fbength , fo a-
tundant and flowing in all kinde of wealth and riches,
but much more glorious , refplendent and fhining

forth men indued with the tnie knowledge and under-
Handing of the holy Scriptures , grave in yeares, fer-
vent in devotion, and defenders or the catholike feith :
The which have not onely direfted and inftrufled their
owne people through their wholefome doftrine and
precepts into the true path of Gods commandements ;
tut alfo we have heard by the report and information
of many credible perfons (to our great griefe and heart
forrow)that lohn Wickliffe parfon of Lutterworth, in
the dioceffe of Lincolne , profeffor of Divinity {\ 6q
would to God he were no authour of herefie) to be fal-
len into fuch a deteftableand abominable madnetTe,
that he hath propounded and fet forth diverfe and fun-
dry condufions full of errours , and containing moft
manifeil herciie, the which do tend utterly to Subvert
and overthrow the ftate of the whole church. Of the
which, fome of them (albeit under coloured phrafe and

the foolifh doftrine of condemned memory of Marfili-

A man cannot be excommunicated to his hurter
undoing, except he be firft and principally excommuni-
cate by himfelfe.

5 No man ought , but in Gods caufe alone, to ex-
communicate, fufpend, or forbid, or otherwife to pro-
ceed to revenge by any ecclefiafHcall cenfure.

10 A curfe or excommunicMion doth not fimplj?
binde, but in cafe it be pronounced and given out a-
gainft the adverfaty of Gods law.

11 There is no power given by any example, eitheC
by Chrift or by his ApofUe,to excommunicate any fub.
je£t, fpecially for denying of any temporalties, but ra-
thercontrariwife.

li The difciples of Chrift have no power to exaft
by any civill authority, temporalties by cenfures .

r; Itisnotpoffible by the abfolute power of Go(3^'
that if the pope or any other Chriftiando pretend by
any meancs to binde or to loofe, that thereby he doth
fo binde and loofe.

14 We ought to believe that the vicar of Chrift
doth at fuch times onely binde and loofe, when as he
worketh conformably by the law and ordinance of
Chrift.

If This ought univerfally to be believed, that every
prieft rightly and duly ordered , according unto the
law of grace, hath power according to his voca-
tion , whereby he may minifter the facraments , an4
«OBfequemly abfolve any ma gsafefficg liis fault.

1" He King to the Vicechancellour and Procurators of
■' the Viiiveifity of Oxford, greeting. Whereas wee
of late undcrllanding by the grievous complaint of
Henry Cronipe, monke, and regent in Divinity ■within
the faid Vniverfity, how that he, being alfifted by the
reverend father in God the Archbifiiop of Canterbury,
and by other clerks and Divines in the City of London ,
to proceed in the condemnation of certaine conclufi-
ons erroneous and hereticall, hath been therefore mo- io
leftedbyyou; and that you thorow fmiHerfuggeftion
of fome adverfaries (pretending the peace of the faid
Vniverfity tohavebeene broken by the faid Henry in
his lall Ledlure ) did therefore call him before you to
appeare and aniwer; and for his not appearing did
therefore pronounce him as obftinate, andconviftof
peace breaking ; and have alfo fufpended the faid Hen-
ry from his Leftures and all fcholafticall atts. And
whereas wee by our Writ did call you up for the fame,
to appeare and anfwer before our Counfell unto the %0
premifles; and, all things being well tried and exami-
ned by the faid Counfell, it was found and determined,
that all your procelTe igainll the faid Henry was void
and ofnoneeffeft, and commandement given, that the
faid Henry lliould bee reftored and admitted againe to
his former Leftures and fcholafticall a6ls, and to his
priftine ilate as you know. To the intent therefore that
this decree aforefaid fkou'.d bee more duely executed of
your part, wee here by thefe prefents ftraitly charge
and command you, that yon fpeedily revoking againe 40
all your proceffe againft the faid Henry in the Vniver-
fity aforefaid, with all other that followed thereofj
do admit and caufe to be reftored againe the faid Hen-
ry to his fcholafticall afts, his accultomedleftures and
priftine eftate, without all delay according to the forme
of the decree and determination aforefaid. Enjoyning
you moreover, and yourcommiflaries or deputies, and
your fucccflors, and all other mafters, regent and not
regent, and other prefidents, officers, minifters, and
fchoUers of the Vniverfity aforefaid, upon your faith 50
and allegiance you owe to us, that you do not impeach,
molcft or grieve, or caufe to bee grieved (any manner
of way, privy orapert) the faid Frier Henry for the
caufes premifed, or Frier Peter Stokes Carmelite, for
the occafion of his abfence from the Vniverfity, or
Frier Stephan Packington Carmelite, or any other re-
ligious or fecular perfonfavouringthem, upon occafi-
on of any either word or deed whatfoever, concerning
the doftrine of Mailer lohn Wickliffe, Nicholas Her-
ford, and Philip Reppington, or the reproofe and cob- £0
demnation of their herefies and errors, or the cor-
reilionof their favourers ; but that you doe procure
the peace, unity, and quiet within the faid Vniverfity,
and chiefly betweene the religious and fecular perfons;
and that you with all diligence nouriih, increafe, and
preferve the fame to the uttermoft of your ftrength.
And that you in no cafe omit to doe it accordingly, up-
on the forfeitures of all and Angular the liberties and
priviledges of the Vniverfity aforefaid.

The letter certificatory of the Viccchnncellor
to the Archbijhof,

To the reverend father in Chrift, lord William,
■* Archbifliop of Canterbury , Primate of all Eng-
land, andlegatof the ApoftolikeSea, Robert Rigges,
profeflbr of Divinity, and Vicechancellor of the Vni-
verfity of Oxford, greeting with due honour. Your
letters bearing the date of the 14. of luly I have re-
ceived : by the authority whereof I have denounced,
and caufed to bee denounced effectually, the forefaid
Nicholas and Philip, to have beene, and to bee excom-
municate publikely »nd folemnlyin the Church of S,
Mary, and in the Schooles, and to bee cited alfo perfo-
nally, if by any meanes they might bee apprehended,
according as you commanded. But after diligent
fearch laid for them of my part, to have them perfo-
nally cited and apprehended, I could not finde nei-
ther the faid M. Nicholas, nor M.Philip : who have
hid or conveyed thcmfelves, unknowne to mee, as here
is well knowne. Whereof I thought here to give fig-
nification to your Fatherhood. Sealed and certified
with the feale of mine office. From Oxford the if.
of luly.

VOur letters with your complaint and requelhin
•*• the fame contained wee have received and well
confidered. For the accomplifliing whereof yee fliall
underibnd, that as wee are readily bent to gratifie and
fatisfie your mindc in this behalieon the one fide ;fo
wee mull beware againe on the other, that our autho- 30
rity bee not abufed either to oppreffe before we know,
or to judge before wee have tried. Wherefore forfo-
much as you in your letters doe excite and fharpen
the fevere difcipline of our fecular fword againft one
JNicolas Herford, for his not appearing before you;
and yet {hewing in the faid your letters no ccrtaiiie
caufe to vs what you have to charge him withall : wee
therefore following the example of Alexander Magnus,
or rather the rule of equity in opening both our eares
indifferently, to heare as well the one part as the other, ^q
doth ailigne both to him, when as hee may bee found,
and to you, when yee {hall bee called, a termctoap-
peare before us. To the intent that the controverfic
betweene you and him, Handing upon points of reli-
gion, being tried by the true touchttone of Gods holy
word, due correftion indifferently may bee miniftred
according as the offence fhall bee found. In the meane
time, this we cannot but fomethingmarvell at in your
faid letters : Firll, to fee you men of the Church, and
angels of peace, to be fo defirous of blood. Secondly, ^q
to confider you againe fo fierce in profecuting the
breach of your law, and yet fo cold in purfuing the
breach of the expreffe law of God and liis comman-
demcnts. Thirdly, to behold the unliable doublenefTe
in your proceedings, who pretending in your publike
fentence to become as intreaters for them to us in the
bowels of lefus Chrift, that wee will withdraw from
them the rigour of our feverity, yet in your letters be
they which moft fet us on. If not appearing before
you bee fuch a matter of contumacy in cafe of youf 5o
law, that it is in no cafe to bee fpared ; what fhould
then our princely difcipline have done to men of your
calling ? Henry Spenler Bilhop of Norwich, being at
Canterbury, was fentfor by our fpeciall commande-
jnent, to come to our fpeech, who denied to come,
and yet wee fpared him : lohn Stratford Archbilhop
your predeceflbr, being required of our Progenitor,
King Edward the third , to come to him at Yorke,
Wou!d not appeare : by the occafion whereof Scot-
land the fame time was loft, and yet was hee fuf&red. 70
The like might bee faid of Robert Winchelfey in the
dayes of King Edward the firll, and of Edmond Arch-
bi{hop of Canterbury, in the dayes of King Henry the
third; Stephan Langtonwas fentfor by King lohn to
come, hee came not. The like contumacy was in Bec-
ket toward King Heniy the fecondt Alio in Anfelme
toward King Henry the firft. All thefe for their not
appearing before their Princes yee doe ejisufe , who

notwithftanding might have appeared without dinger
ot hfe; this one man for not appearing before you,
you thinke worthy of death; whofc lite you would'
have condemned norwithlhnding, if hee had appea-
red. If the Squirill climing to the tree from the Lions
clawes would not appeare, being fcnt for to bee de-
voured, it isnoreafon that the Eagle therefore fliould
feifeupon him without any juft caufe declared againll
the party. Wherefore according to this and to thac
afbrcfaid, when hee iTiall appeare. and you bee called,
and thecaufc julHy weighed, due execution fhall bee
mini fired.

The Epiftle of lohn Wickliffe fent unco Pope

Vthznc the /ixth, Anng 1382.

V^Erily I doe rejoyce to open and declare unto every ^.^^ ^^ („jj ^^
' man the faith which I doe hold, and fpecially unto j.caicklifEtto
the Bifhop of Rome : the which forfomuch as I doe 30OP8 SitlJanf-
fuppofe to bee found and true, hee will moft willingly
confirme my faid faith, or, ifit bee erroneous, amend
the fame.

Firft, I fuppofe, that the Gofpell of Chrift is the
whole body of Gods Law ; and that Chrift, which did
give that lame law himfelfe, I beleeve to bee a very
man, and in that point, to exceed the law of the Gof-
pell, and all other parts of the Scripture. Againe, I
doe give and hold tne Bifhop of Rome, forfomuch as
hee is the Vicar of Chrift here in earth.to buc bound
moft of all other men unto that law of the Gofpell.
For the greatneffe amongft Chrifls difciples did not
confiftin worldly dignity or honours, but in the neere
and exadl following of Chrift in his life and manners ;
whereupon I doe gather out of the heart of the law of
the Lord, that Chrift for the time of his pilgrimage
here was a moft poore man, abjefting and carting off'
all worldly rule and honour, as appeareth by the Gof-
pell of Saint Matthew, the eight chapter, and the fc-
cond of the Corinthians, the 8. chapter.

Hereby I doe fiilly gather, that no faithfull man ■kJjc true Bfftt'
ought to follow, either the Pope himfelfe, or any of jjteJoECEWft
the holy men, but in fuch points as hee hath followed fttftS lis 60110^
the Lord lefus Chrift. For Peter and the fonnes of Ze-
bede, bydefiring worldly honour contrary to the fol-
lowing of Chrifts fteps, did offend, and therefore irj
thofe errors they are not to be followed.

Hereof I doe gather, as a counfell, that the Pope
ought to leave unto the fecular power all temporall
dominion and rule, and thereunto efFeftually to move
and exhort his whole Clerg)' ; for fo did ChriJl, and ef-
pecially by his Apoftles. Wherefore if I have erred in
any of thefe points, I will moft humbly fubmit my felfe
unto correftion, even by death, if neceflity fo require :.
and if I could labour according to my will or defire iri.
mine owne perfon, I would furely prefent my felfe be-
fore the Bilhop of Rome ; but the Lord hath otheiwife
vifited me to the contrary, and hath taught mee rathef;
to obey God than men. Forfomuch then as God hath,
given unto our Pope juft and true evangelical! inftindti-.
ons, we ought to pray that thofe motions be not extin-=
guilTied by any fubtle or crafty device-, •_ ;

hehad nothimfeUe ? That which he had he gave you,
that is to fayjcare over the church; but did he give you
any lordfliip or rule ? Heark what he faith ; Not bear-
ing rule (faith he) as lords over the clergie, but behav-
ing your felves as examples to the flocke. And becaufe
thou (halt not thinke it to be 'fpoken only in humilitie,
and not in veritie,marke the word of the Lord himfelfe
in the Gofpell ; The kings of the people doe rule over
them ; but you fhall not doe fo.

Here lordihip and dominion is plainly forbid-
den to the Apoftles, and dareil: thou then ufurpethe itas'eftl'gloit
fame? If thou wilt be a lord, thou fhalt lofe thine fliipoulfeat
Apoftlefhip; or if thou wilt bean ApoiUe, thou flialt fS'"d„h
lofe thy lordfliip : for truly thou fhalt depart from
the one of th;m. If thou wilt have both, thou fhalt
lofe both , or elfe thinke thy felfe to bee of that num-
ber, of whom God doth fo greatly complaine, fay-
ing ; They have raigned but not through mee ; They
are become princes, andlhavenotknowneit. Now tH^tmamtl
20 if itdoefufflcetheetorule with the Lord, thou hall Ws SpaftlMl
thy glory, but not with God. But if wee willkcepe
that which is forbidden us, let us heare what it faid ;
Heethat is the greateft amongft you (faith Chrift)
fliallbemade as theleaft, andhe which is the high-
eft fhall be as the minifter ; and for example hee fet
a child tn the middeftof them. So this then is the
true forme and inftitution of the Apoftles trade; Lord-
fhip[and rule is forbidden , miniftration and fervice
commanded.

But if any man will objefl: and izy, that to require
a reafon of every thing, is to derogate from Gods di-

doth anfwer himfelfe in his Philofophy, the firlt booke,
almoil at the end; where hee intreatingofthe place,
in the fecond Chapter of Genefis. God made man of
the (lime of the earth, &c. hath thefe words; For in
what point ( fay wee ) are wee contrary to the holy
Scriptures, if we feeke by reafon to declare wherefore

Clergy, if they doe offend, and therein continue. It
is thus proved : The Kings of the old Teftament tooke
away the temporall goods at Gods commandemenc
from the Clei-gy ; that is to fay, from the Pneils of- %,%t(i'»^ri--
fending. Therefore the Kings alio of the new Tefta- p^,ou.a"'4
ment, at Gods commanderaent, may doe the like, acsumcnb.
when as the Priefts of the new law doe offend. The
confeqiiencedependethupona fimilicude. And tlic an-
tecedent is evident. Firli^ it is proyed by Solomon in-

any thing is done, which is faid in the Scriptures to be lo the 3. of the Kings, z. chapter, which Solomon depo-

done ? For if tliat a wife man fhould fay that a thins n
done, and doe nor declare how it is done, and another
man fpeaketh the very felfe fame thing, and declareth
how It is done, what contrariety is there? But forfo
much as they themfelvcs know not the force of nature,
to the intent that they might have all men partakers
with them of their ignorance, they would have no
man to inquire it out. But they would have us beleeve
as ignorant peoiple, neither to feeke any reafon of our

fed Abiathar the high Prieft, becaufe he had taken part
with Adonias the brother of Solomon to make him
King, without the advice either of David, or of Solo-
mon himfelfe, which ought to raigne, andfetupSa-
doc the Prieft in the place of Abiathar, becaufe hee had
not confented with Abiatliar unto Adonias, as it is
written in the 3 . Booke of Kings, i . Chapter, where is
is faid ; Adonias,the fonne ot Agithe, exalted himfelfe,
faying, I will raigne : aad made unto himfelfe cha-

beleefe, that the prophecie might bee fulfilled ; Such 20 riots and horfemen, and fourty men which fliould run

as the people is, fuch fliall bee the prieft. Butweetru
Jy doe fay, that in all things a reafon is to bee fought,
analleiro?^ if^it may by any meanes bee found. But if that any
£?all?iiiw mandoe ftayat any thing which the Scriptures doth
aflirme, let him commit the fame unto faith, and unto
the holy Ghoft. For Mofes faith. If the lambe cannot
bee eaten, let it not bee by and by coufumed in the fire;
but let him firit call his neighbour which dwelleth next
houfe unto him ; and if they alfo bee not fufficient to
eatethe lambe, then let it bee burned in the fire. So
likewife, when as wee goe about to feeke any thing as
touching the Godhead , and that we be not able of our
felveslo comprehend the fame, let us call our neigh-
bour which dwelleth next houfe uoto us; that is to
fay, let us feeke out fuch a one as dwelleth in the fame
catholikefaithwithus; and if then neither we, neither
yet he be able to comprehend the fame, let itthen bee
burned with, the fire of faith.

But thcfe men, albeit they have many neighbours

30

before him; neither, did his father rebuke him at any
time, fayixig. Wherefore haft thou done this ? For hee
was very comely, being fecond fonne, next to Abfo-
Ion, and his talke was with loabthe fonne of Sarvia,
and Abiathar the Prieft, which tooke part with Ado-
nias. ButSadoc the Prieft, and Benaias the fonne of
loiada, and Nathan the Prophet, and Semei, and Se-
rethi, and Felethi, and all the power of Davids holf,
were not on Adonias part.

This was the caufe of the depofing of Abiathar,
becaufe he tooke part with Adomas, that he fhould be
King againft Solomon the cldeftfonne of King David :
wherefore it is written in the third booke, and fecond
chapter of the Kings ; The King faid unto Abiathar the
Prieft, Goe your wayes unto Anathoth thine owne
field, for thou art a man of death; but this day I will
not flay thee, becaufe thou haft carried the Arke of the
Lord before my father David, and didft labour in all
things^ wherein my father laboured. Then did Solo-

dwelling neere unto them, yet for very pride they will ±0 moncaft out Abiathar, that hee fliould be no more the

not call any man unto them, chafing rather to conti-
nufiftill ignorant, than to aske any queftion. And if
they doe know any man to enquire for his neighbour
in fuch cale, by and by they cry out upon him as an
heretike ; prefumjng more upon their owne heads,than'
having confidence in their wifedome. But I eXhort you.
to give no credit unto their outward appearance, for
already it is verified in them which the Satyricall Poet
faith ; No credit is to be given unto the outward (he w

Prieft of the Lord; that the word of the Lord might
be fulfilled, which hee fpake upon the houfe of Heli in
Silo.

Behold, the moft prudent King Salomon, according
to the wifedome which was given him of God, did ex-
ercifehis power upon the faidPriei}, putting him out
of bis priefthood, and fetting in his place Sadoc the
Prieft. This was a greater matter than to take away the
temporalities. If then in the Law of Chrift, which now

for which of them all is it that doth not abound with 50 raigneth over us, a Bifliop fliould likewife rebell a-

moft fhamefiill and deteftable vices ? And in another

place he faith; They are very dainty of their fpeech,

and have great defire to kcepe filence . And thus much

hath M. Wilhelmus. Let all fuch heare whom this

parable doth touch : for I with the reft of the Mafters,

bachelors, and ftudents of our Vniverfity, conlidering

how hard a matter the condemnation of the fourty five

Articles of Wickliffe, without reafon, is, and how

grievous a thing it were if wee fliould thereunto con-

fent, doe call together my neighbours, the Doftors of 60

this Vniverfity, and all others which v/ouldobjedt any

thing againft the fame, that wee might prefently finde

out the reafon of the condemnation of this article,con-

cerning the taking away the temporalities from the

clergy.

tbattljE gacilis whetlier this Article, as touching the taking away of
ace nofm' . temporalities from the Clergy, may have in it any true
to be talma-" ^^"i"*, whereby it may be defended without reproofe.
toaislint fit cure Wherefore this Article, being the feventeenth in the
tiup.Boc allure number of the fourty five, is propounded under this
forme: The Lords temporall may at their owne will
andpleafure, rake away the temporal goods ftom the

iM faint.

gainft the true heire of the kingdome. willing to fet up
another for King ; why fliould not the King or his heire
have power, iriuke cafe, to take away the temporali-
ties from him fo offending ?

Item, it is alfo evident by the king Nabuchodono- 2

2or, which had power given him of God to leade away Nabuchoi
the children of^lfrael, with their Priefts and Levites, nozor,
into the captivity of Babylon, as it is written 4, booke
of the Kings, ij. chapter.

Item, it is read in the 4, booke*f Kings, and ii. 3

chap, how that loas the moft godly King of luda, ac- loas,
cording to the wifedome which God had granted him,
tooke away all the confecrate vefTels which lofaphat,
loram, and OchoCas, his fore-fathers Kings of luda
had confecrated, and thofe which he himfelfe had offe-
red, and all the treafure that could be found in the tem-
ple of the Lord, and in the Kings palace, and fentit un^
to Azahel King of Syria, and hee departedfrom lerufa-

er how they would, and convert them to what ufe they 70 er, notonely in taking away the temporalities of the

Priefts, but alfo thofe things which were confecrate ia
the temple of the Lord, to procure unto the Common-
wealth the benefit of peace.

Item, in the 4. booke, and 18, chapter of the Kings, 4
it is written, how that the holy King Ezecliias tooke all Ezechias
the treafure that was found in the houfe of the Lord,
and in the Kings treafurj^, and brake downe the pil-
lars of the temple of the Lord, and all the plates of

other finnes^ as it appearcth in thefecoiiil booke of
Parahp. jz. chapter, lorfomuch then asin time of nc-
cclfity all things ought to bee in common unrochriiii-
ans, it followeth that the fecular lords in cafe of iie-
celllty, and in many other common cafes, may lawful-
ly take away the moveable goods from the clergy,
wheathey do offend. ' • lo

Itcrti, it is alfo readintht ij. of S.Matthew, that
thedifciples of Icfus, to Hake their hunger, upon the
Sabbath day pulled the cares of corne, and did cate
them, and t)ie Pharifees rebuked them therefore ; unto
whom Chrill anfwcred. Have ye not read what David
did when hee was hungry, and thole that were with
him : how hcc entred into the houfe of the Lord, and
did cat the fhew bread, which it was not lawfull for
him, ueitherfor them that were with him to cate, but
onely for the Prieih ? This ftory is written in the firH ^o
booke of the Kings, and ii. chapter. And thccom-
mandcment in the ii. chapter of Deuteronomie.
Whereby it appeareth, that it is lawfull in time of ne-
ceflity to ufe any thing, be it never fo much confecrate.
Otherwife children by giving their moveables to
the confecration of any temple, Ihould not bee bound
to help their parents ; which is contrary and againft
the Gofpelof Saint Matthew in the fixteenth chapter;
whereas our Saviour iTiarpely reiiuked the Pharifees,
thatfor their owne traditions they did tranfgrefle the 3°
commandement of God.

Item, Titus and Vefpafian fecular princes had
power given them of God, twenty foure yeeres after
the Lords afcenfion, to take away the temporalities
from the priefts which had offended againfl the Lords .
holy one, and thereby alfo bereft them of their lives :
and it feemeth unto many, they did and might worthi-
ly do the fame according to Gods good will and plea-
fure. Then forfomuch as our priefts in diefe oayes
maytranfgrelfe and offend as rjiuch, and rather more 40
againft the Lords anointed, it followeth, that by the
pleafureofGod, the fecular lords may likcwife puniih
them for their offence.

Our Saviour being King of kings, and high Bifhop,
with his difciples, did give tribute untoCxfar, as it
appeareth in the ly.chapter of S.Matthews Gofpel,and
commanded the Scribes and Pharifees to give the like
unto Casfar, S. Matth. 12.. Whereby he gave exatnple
unto all priefts that WQuld come after him to render
tribute unto their kings : whereupon blelfed S. Am- 50
brofe in his fourth booke upon thefe words in the j. of
S.Luke,( Caftout your nets ) writeth thus ; There is
another kind of fifhing amongll the Apoftles, after
which manner the Lord commanded Peteronly to fifli,
faying, Caft out thy hooke, and that fifli which com-
methfirftup, take him. And then unto the purpofe he
faithjit is truly a great and fpirituall document,where-
by all chriftian men are taught, that they ought to
bee fubjedt unto the higher powers, and that no man
ought to thinke that the lawes of a King here on earth 60
are to be broken. For ifthe Sonne of God did pay tri-
bute, who art thou fo great a man, that thinkeft thou
ought'ell not to pay tribute ? Hee payed tribute which
had no poifefTions ; and thou which daily feekell: after
the lucre of the world, why doeft thou not acknow-
ledge the obedience and duty of the world? Why doeft
thou through thearrogancy of thy mind exalt thy felfe
above the world, when as, through thine owne mife-
rable covetoafnelTe, thou art fubjedl unto the world ?
Thus writeth S. Ambrofe, and it is put in the 1 1 . q. i. jq
Mjiniitm<imdv,n. Hee alfo Writeth upon thefe words in
Luke 10.. Shew mee a peny, whofe image hath it?. If
Chrift had not the image of Csfar, why did he pay any
tribute ? He gave it not of his owne, but rendred unto
the world, that which was the worlds : and if thou
wilt not bee in d.anger of Csfar, pofTefTe not thofe
things, which are the worlds ; for if thou, haft riches
thou art in da'ngev of Csefar,

Wherefore ifthou vJt owe nothingunto any earth-
ly Kinc.forfakc all thofe things, and follow Chria. If
then all cccltfiafticall Mimfters, hiving riches, ought
to be under the fubjedtion of kings, and give unto them
tribute : it followeth that kings may lawfully, byths
authority which is given them take away tlieir tcnino-
lalities from them.

Hereupon S. Paul, acknowledging hiinfclfo to bee
under the jurifdidfionofthc Empciour, appealed unto
Carfar, as it appeareth, Aifls ly .
, I ftand, faith he, at Cxfars judgement feat, there!
ought to bee judged. Whereupon inthe 8.diftin6tion,
chapter .Zi'/<.'j/„c, S. Ambrofe alleigcth," that all things
are lawfull unto the Emperour, and all things under
his power. Tor the confirmation whereof it is faid
Daniel fccond chapter; The Cod of heaven hath givcri
unto thee a kingdome, ftiength, empire, and glory,
and all places wherein the children of men doe dwell'
and hath given into thy power the beafts of the ficM,
and f owles of the aire, and fet all things luidcr thyjTub-
jefuon.

Alfo in the i i,qucftion and r. hee faith; Ifthe Em-
pcrour require tribute, wedoenotdeny that the lands
ofthe Church fh.all pay tribute; ifthe Emperour have
need of our lands, hee hath power to challenge them,
let him take them, if he will ; I do not give them unto
the Emperour. neither doe 1 deny them. This writeth
S. Ambrofe. exprcffely declaring that the fecular lord
h|th power at his pleafure to take away the lands of
the Church; and io confequently the fecular lords
have power at their owne pleafures to take away the
temporal goods from the ecclefiafticall Mimfters. when
they do offend .

Item, S. Auguftine writeth; If thou fayell. what
have we to doe with the Emperour ? But now as I l^id.
we fpeake of mans law. The Apoftles would be obedi-
ent unto Kings, and honour them, faying. Reverence
your Kings; and doe not fay, what have 1 to doe with
the King ? What haft thou then to do with polTeflions ?
By the Kings law thy pofleffions are poiTefTed. Thou
haft faid, what have \ to do with the King ? but doe not
fay, what have thy pofleffions to do with the King ? For
then haft thou renounced the lawes of men, whereby
thou diddeft pofTe/le thy lands. Thus writeth S. .Au-
guftine in his 8 . diftinil. by whofe words it is manifefl,
that the King hath power over the Church goods, and
confequently may take them away from the Clercy
tranfgreCGng or offending.

Item, in his three and thirtieth Epiftle unto Boni-
face, hee faith ; What fober man ^vill fay unto our
Kings, Care not you in your kingdome. by whom the
Church of the Lord is maintained, or by whom it is
opprefTed ; it pertaineth not unto you, who will bee
either a religious man, or who will bee a Church-rob-

by their power to punifli the Clergy , by taking a-
Way of their temporalities, if their offence doe fo
deferve.

22 Item, the true and eafie direftion of the Clergy un-

to the life of Chrill and the Apoliles, and moll pro-
fitable unto the laitie. that the clergy fhould not live
contrary unto Chrifts inllitution, feemeth to bee the
takine away of their alraes, and thofe things which
. they had bellowed upon them. Anditisthusprooved:
. That medicine is moft apt to bee laid unto the fore,
whereby the infirmity might fooneftbee holpen, and
were moft agreeable unto the patients : Such is the ta-
king away of the temporalities.: Ergo, this article is
true. The minor IS thus prooved, forfomuch as by the
abundance of temporalities the worme or ferpent of
pride is fprung up, whereupon unfatiable defire and
lull is inflamed, and therefrom proceedeth all kind of
gluttony and lechery. It is evident in this point, for
fo much as the temporalities being once taken away,
every one of thofefinnes is either utterly taken away,
or at the leall diminiflied^by the contrary vertue indu-
ced and brought in . It feemeth alfo moil pertinent un-
to the laity, for fo much as they ought not to lay vio-
lent hands upon theirminillers, ortoabjedltheprieil-
ly dignity, neither to judge any of the clergy in their
open courts. It feemeth alfo by the law of confcience
to pertaine unto the lay people, for fo much as every
man, which worketh anyworke of mercy, ought di-
ligently to have refpeft unto the ability of them that
hee beiloweth his almesupon; leaftthatby nourilhing
or helping loyterers, hee bee made partaker of his
offence. Whereupon, if priefls doe not miniller of
their fpiritualities, as Hoftienfis teacheth in his third
booke, of their tithes, fii'ft fruits and oblations, the
people ought to take away the alms of their tithes from
them.

Item, it is confirmed by the lail chapter of the feven-
teenth quellion, out of the decree of rents appropriate
unto the Church, 4^«'f«/ij«< Whereas the cafe is put
thus, that a certaine man having no children, neither
hoping to have any, gave al his goods unto thi Church,
referving unto himfelfe the onely ufe and profits there-
of; it hapned afterward that he had children, and the
JBifliop rellored againe his goods unto him not hoping
for it. The Bidiop had it in his power, whether to ren-
der againe, or no, thofe things which were given him j
>ut that was by the law of man, and not by the law
of confcience. If then by the decree of the holy Do-
ftor Saint Augulline in his Sermon of the life of the
Clergy, Aurelius the Bifliop of Carthage had no pow-
er by Gods Law to withhold that which is befl:owed
upon the Church for the neceffity of children, by the
which law, the wanton, proud, and unliable Clergy,
-being more then futficiently poflefled and inriched, doe
detaine and keepe backe the temporalities to the de-
triment and hurt of their owne ftate, and of the whole
. militant Church, the fecular patrons being thereby fo
impoverilhed, that they are compelled by penury to
rob and lleale, to oppreffe their tenants, to fpoile and
undo others, and oftentimes by very neceffity are dri-
ven to beggery. ■ _

g^ Item, fuppofe that aprieft and miniller, how grie-

voufly foever hee doe offend, .by what kind or figne
of offence foever it bee, as it was in the cafe of Bifliop
Judas Ifcarioth, of the religious Monke Sergius, of
Pope Leo the heretike, and many other Priells, of
whom the Scripture and Chronicles make mention,
and daily experience doth teach us the fame : it is e-
vident that, ^s it is fuppofed, the Priefls in the king-
dome of Boheme grievoufly offending, it is the kings
part, for fo much as hee is fupreme head next under
God, and Lord of the kingdome 6f Boheme, to cor-
redtand punilh thofe Priefls. And forfomuch as the
gentlefl correiSlion and punilhment of fuchas bee in-
durate in their malice, is, the calling away of their
.temporall goods, itfolloweth, thatitislawfullforthe
King to take away temporalities. Wherefore it fhould
fecmevery marvellous and llrange, if that Priells ri-

;Ki N
(Ric.

ding about fhoiild fpoile virgins, violently corrupt and
defile honeft matrons; if infuchcaie it were not law-
fiiU for them to take away their armours, weapons,
horfes, guns andfwords from them. The like reafon
were it alfo, if they had unlawfiiUy confpired the death
of the King, or that they would betray the King unto
his enemies.

• Item, whatfoever any of the Clergy doth require
or defire of the fecular power , according unto the

lO law and ordinance of Chriff, the fecular power ought
to performeand grant the fame. But the clergy, be-
ing letted by riches, ought to require heipe of the fe-
cular power for the difpenfation of the faid riches.
Ergo, the fecular power ought in fuch'cafe, by tht law
of Chrift, to take upon them the ofBce or duty of get-
ting, keeping, and dillributing all fuch manner of ri-
ches. The minor is hereby prooved, that no man ou^ht
to have riches, but to that end, that they bee helpes,
preferring and helping nhto the office which is ap-

20 pointed of God. Therefore in cafe that fecular pof-
feffion doc hinder the Clergy from their duty, the fe-
cular power ought to take it away, for-fo did the Apo-
ftles, Afts the fixth faying. It is not lawfull for us to
leave the word of God untaught,and to miniiter unto
tables. " .,.,■,,■■

And thus hitherto hath lohn Hus profecuted Wick-
liffes Articles with long arguments and reafons ; and
it were too long a travel!, neither agreeable for this
place, to alleadge all the whole order of his reafons

30 and proofes, whichheeiifedin that difputation, above
the number of twenty more, befides the tellimonies
of all the writers before recited, the which hee allead-
geth out of the Scriptures, Decretals, Saint Ambrofe
in his booke of offices. Saint Augulline in his fift booke
and fiftqueflion, and alfo unto Macedo, Ifidore, the
councel of Nice, Gregory his eleventh queflion, Ber-
nard unto Eugonjus in his third booke, andoutofLin-

other moe. The fumme of "all which" tellimonies tend

40 unto this end, that he might utterly take away all earth-
ly rule and dominion from the Clergy, and to bring
them under the fubjeftion and cenfiire of kings and Em-
perours, as it were within certaine bonds, the which is
not onely agreeable unto equity and Gods word, but al-

■ fo profitable for the Clergy themfelves. Hee teacheth ic
alio to be necelTary, that they fhould rather bee fubjeft
under the fecular power, than to bee above them; be-
caufe that elfeit were dangerous, lefl that they being
entangled with fuch kind of bufinelTe, they fhould bee

i^Q an eafierprey unto S'atan, and fooner trapped in his
fnares. And thereby it fhould to paflfe, that the go-
vernance and principality -of all things being at the
length brought into the hands of the Clergy, the lawfiill
authority of Kings and Princes fhould not onely bee
given over unto them, but in a manner as it were grow
out of ufe ; fpecially for fo much as already, in certaine
kingdoraes and common-wealths, the ecclefiafticall po-
wer is growne unto fuch height, that not onely in Bo-

Lords, but rather liewards and bailitt'es of other mens

And Saint Ierome,writingto Nepotianus/aithjHow
can they bee of the Clergy? which are commanded to
contemnc and defpife their owiie fubftanccjand to take
away from a friend, it is theft, to deceive the Church
it is lacriledgc, and to takeaway that which flioul^ bee
given unto the poore.

And Saint liernard in his Sermon upon thefc words
(Simon Peter faid unto lefus. chap. 17. )f3id ; Tniely
the goods of the Church, are the patrimony of the
poore : and whatfoever thing the niiniftcrs and itew- 20

themfelves more than fudicient for a competent living,
the fame is taken away from the poor by a facrilegioiis
cruelty.

And Eufebius in his treatife upon the pilgrimage of
Saint lerome writeth thus ; If thou doeft poflelfe a gar-

We beleeve that it is not unkno wne vnto your brother-

Richard by the grace of God, King of England, and
of France, and lord of Ireland, To all thofe unto
■whom thefe prefent letters fhall come, greeting. Know:
ye, that whereas lately at the inftance of the reverend
father, William Archbifliop of Canterbury, Metropo-
litane of all England, and Legat of the Apoftolicall
feat. Wee for the redreffe and amendment of all thofe
which would obflinatdy preach or maintaine, pub-
likely or privily, any condufions of the holy Scri-
pture, repugnant to the determination of our holy mo-
ther the Church, and notorioufly redounding to the
fubverfion of the Catholike faith,or containing any he-
refie or error, within the Province or Bifliopricke of
Canterbury, have by our fpeciall letters patents, in the
2eale of the faith, given authority and licence unto the
forefaid Archbifliop, and to all and lingular his Suffra-
gans, to arreft all and every of them that will preach or
maintaine any fuch Condufions, wherefoever they may
bee found, ^nd to commit them either to their owne~
prifons, or iny other at their owne pleafure, and to
keepe theift in the fame, untill they repent them of the
errors and pravities of thofe he'refies; or till that, of
fiich manner of arrefts , by us or by our counfell it
fliould be otherwife determined; that is to fay, to eve-
ry one of them and their minifters throughouttheir ci-
ties and dioceife. And now the reverend fether in God,
lohn Bifliop of Hereford, hath for a certainty informed
us ; that although the fame Bifliop hath according to
jullice convinced a certaine fellow named William
Swinderby,pretending himfelfe to bee a chaplaine, and
one Stephan Bell, a learned man, and hath pronounced
them herctikes and excommunicate, and falfe infor-
mers among the common people.and hath declared the
fame by the definitive fentence of the aforefaid Bifliop,
for that they have prefumed toafJirmeand preach o-
penly , in divers places within the Dioces of Hereford,
many condufions or naughty opinions notorioufly re-
dounding to the fubverfion of the Catholike found
faith, and tranquillity of our kingdome : The fame Bi-
fliop notwithftanding, neither by the ccclefiafticall cen-
fures, neither by the force and ftrength of our Com-
miffion, was able to revoke the forefaid William and
Stephan, nor yet to bridle the malice and indurate
contumacieof them ; for that diey,afterthat they were
upon fuch hereticall pravity convifl: by the fame Bi-
fliop ( to the intent they might delude his judgement
and juftice) conveighed themfelves by and by unto
the borders of Wales, with fuch as were their fautors
and accomplices, keeping themfelves clofe, unto whom
the force of our faid letters doth in no wife extend.
Whereupon the faid Bifliop, hath made fupplicacion
unto us, that wee wiU vouchfafe to provide a fufficient
remedy in that behalfe . We therefore, which alwaycs

( by the helpe of Almighty God) are defenders of the fK I N o)

faith, willingto withltand fuch prefumptuous and per- |Ric 2. (

verfe enterprifes by the moll fafe way and meanes wee

may, give and commit full power and authority to the

forefaid Bifhop and to hisminilleri,by the tenourof

thefe prefents, to arreft or take, or caufe to bee arrefted

or taken, the forefaid William and Stephan, in any

place within the City and Dioceffe of Hereford and

our dominion of Wales, with all the fpeed that may

lo bee ; and to commit them either to our prifon , or elfe
totheprifon of the fame Bifhop, or any other prifon
at their pleafure, if fuch need bee, and there to keepe
them fafe. And afterwards, unleffe they will obey the
commandements of the Church, with diligence to
bring them before us and our Councell, or elfe caufe
them to bee brought ; that wee may determine for their
further punifliment, as wee (hall thinke it requifite and
convenient to bee done by the advice of our Councell.
for the defence and prefervation of the Catholike faith.

20 And that the forefaid William and Stephan, being fuc-
coured by the aid of their fautors or favourers, fhould
not bee able to flie or efcape to their accuftomed flart- Pfeudoca-
ing holes, and that the fharpeneife of their paines fo thohca fides
aggravated, may give them fufficient caufe to returne
to the lap againe oftheir holy mother the Cliurch; we
ftraitly charge and command all and fingular our She-
riffes, Bailiffes,Barons,and all other our Officers in the
City and Diocelfe of Hereford, and in any other places
being within our Dominion of Wales, by the tenour of

30 thefe prefents ; that from time to time ( where they
thinke it mofl meet ) they caufe it openly to be proclai-
med in our name, that none of what ftate, degree, pre-
heminence, kinde, or other condition hee fhall bee, doe
cherifh openly or fecretly the forefaid William and
Stephan, untill the time that they repent them oftheir
herefies and errours, and fhall bee reconciled unto the
holy Church of God : Neither that any perfon or per-
fons, bee beleevers, favourers, or receivers, defenders,
or in any cafe wittingly inftruftors of the faid William

£Q or Stephan, or any other of the refidue of the heretikes
that are to bee convinced, upon the forfeiture of all
that ever they have. And that alfo they giving their at-
tendance bee obedient and anfwerable to the forefaid
Bifhop sndliis deputies in this behalfe, for the executi-
on of the premilfes : and that they certifie us and our
Councell dillinftlyand plainly, from time to time, of
the names of all and fingular perfons, which fhall for-
tune to bee found culpable in this behalfe, under their
feales. In witneiTe whereof, wee have caufed thefe oar

fhall leave the Romifli Church defolate. But God keep
this from the world , that the defire of honour of two
men fliould bring fuch a defolation into the Church of
God :for them that departing away, which the Apoftle
prophefied, fliould come before the comming of anti-
chrift were at hand : which fliould be the laft difpoCti-
on of the world , peaceably to receive antichriil with
honour. Confider therefore the ftate of your moft
excellent holinefle , how yee received the power from 50
God to the building of the Church , and not to the de-
ilruflionofit ; that Chrift hath given you wine and
oyle to heale the wounded ; and hath appointed you
his vicar in thefe things which pertaine to gentlenefle ,
andhath given us thele things which ferve to rigour.
For wee beare not the fword without a caufe to the
punifliment of evill doers, the which power ordained
of God we have received, ourfelves being witnefTe :
beieeching you to receive our counfell effetlually, that

in doing thus, the waters may return to the places from ^o jjjoteflltOIT.

fpccially and uaching of lefus Chrift, and by theli-
ving and teaching of his Apolllcs and Prophets : or
clfe all tlic Popes that have been fince I had any know-
ledge or difcrction , with all the Collcdge ot Cardi-
nals, Archbiihops , and Biiliops, Menkes, Canons,
and Friers, with all the contagious flockc oi the com-
munaltic of prieilhood, which have (all my lifetime,
and mickle longer ) raigned and yet raigne, and in.
creafe damnably from finne into finne , nave bccnc ,
and yet bee proud obftinatc herctikes , covetous (imo-
ners, and defouled adulterers in the miniftring of the
Sacraments, and fpecially in tlie miniftring of the Sa-
crament of the Altar. Toras theirworks fhew where-
to Chrift biddeth us take heedc; the highell priefts
and prelates of this priefthood, challenge and occn-
pie unlefull temporall lordftiips. And for tempo-
rail favour and mcede , they fell and give benefices to
unworthy and unable perfons ; yea, thefe fimoners fell
finne , fuffering men and women in every degree and
eftateto lie andcontinue from yeare toycare, in di-
vers vices flanderoufly. And thus, by evill example of
high priefts in the Church,lower priefts under them are
not only fuftered , but they are maintained to fell full
deare (to the people for temporall meed) all the facra-
ments.

And thus all this forefaid priefthood is blowne fo
high , and borne up in pride and vaine glory of their
eftate and dignitie . and fo blinded with worldly co-
vetoufnefle, that they difdaine to follow Chrift in ve-
ry meeknefle and wil&U povertie , living holily, and
preaching Gods Word trucly , freely , and continu-
ally, takine their livelihood at the free will of the
people of their pure almes, where and when they fuf-
licenot for their true and bufie preachingto get their
fuftenance with their hands. To this true fentence ,
grounded on Chrifts owne living and teaching of his
Apoftlesi thefe forefaid worldly and flefhly priefts
Will not confent effeftually . But as their workes and
alfo their words fliew> boldly and unfhamefaftly thefe
forenamed priefts and prelates covet and enforce them
mightily andbufily, that all holy Scripture were ex-
pounded and drawne accordingly to their manners ,
and to their ungrounded ufages and findings, -For
they will not ( fince they hold it but folly and mad.
nefle ) conforme their manners to the pure and fimple
living of Chrift and his Apoftles, nor will they follow
freely their learning. Wherefore all the Emperours
and Kings, and all other lords and ladies, and all the
common people in every degree and ftate > wiiich have
before time knowne, or might have knowne, and alfo
all they that now yet know.or might know.this forefaid
witneiTe of priefthood and would not, nor yet will in-
force them after their cunning and power, to withftand
charitably the forefaid enemies and traitors of Chrift ,
and of his Church : All thefe ftrive with Antichrjft a-
gainft lefus, and they fliall heare the indignation of
God Almighty without end, if in convenient time they
amend them not , and repent them verily , doeing
therefore due mourning and forrow, after their cun-
ning and power. For through prefumptuoufnefle and
negligence of priefts and prelates ( not of the Church
of Chrift, but occupying their prelacie unduely in
the Church ) and alfo flattering and falfe covetouf-
neffe of other divers named priefts ; Loufengers and
lounderers are wrongfully made and named Heremites,
and have leave to defraud pooie and needie creatures
of their livelode, and to live by their falfe winning
and begging, in floth and in other divers vices. And
alfo of thefe prelates , thefe coker nofes are fuffered to
to live in pride and hypocrifie, and to defoule them-
felves both bodily ancl ghoftly. Alfo by the fuffering
and counfell of thefe forefaid prelates and other priefts,
are made both vaine brotherhoods and fifterhoods ,
fiill of pride and envie, which are full contrary to the
brotherhood of Chrift , fince they arecaufe of'^ mickle
diflention and they multiply and fuftaine it uncharita-
bly ; for unjuftly eating and drinking unmeafurably
and out of time, they exercife themfelves. Alfo this

1

vaine confederacic of brotherhoods is permitted to be
of one clothing and to hold together.

And in all thefe ungrounded and unlefull doings ,
priefts arc partners, and great medlers and counfellcrs:
andovcrthis vicioufneffc , heremites and pardoners,
ankercrs, andftrangc beggers, are liccnll-d and adl
muted of prelates and priefts; to beguile the people
with flatterings and leafings flanderoully againft all
good rcafon and true beliefe ; and fo to increafc divers

10 vices in thcmfei ves,aiid alfo among all them that accept
them, or confent to tliem.

And thus the vicioufneffc of thefe forefaid named
prielb and prelates hath beene long time , and yet is,
and Ihall be caufe of warres both within the reilme and
without. And in the fame wife thefe unable priefts have
beene. andyetare, and fliall bee chicfe caufe of pefti-
loiceof men, and murren of bcafts, and of barrenneffc
of the earth, and of all other mifchiefes, to the
time that Lords and commons able them through

20 grace to know and to keepe the Commandcmcnts of
God, inforcing them then faithfully and charitably
by one afftnt , to redrefle and make one this fore-
faid priefthood , to the wOlfijll , poore, meeke, and
innocent living and teaching,fpedally of Chrift and his
Apoftles,

Therefore all they that know, or might know the
viciouCiefTe thut raigneth now curfedly in thefe priefts,
and in their learning, if they fufEce not tounderftand
this contagious vicioufnefte ; Let them pray to the

30 lord heartily for the health of his Church, abftaining
them prudently from their indurate enemies of Chrift
and of his people, and from all their facraments, fince
to them , all that know them, or may know them,
they are but fleflily deeds and falfe ; as Saint Cyprian
witnefleth in the firft queftion of decrees, and in the
firft caufe. Cap siquis intjuic. For as this faint and Cypr i q i
great Doftor witnefleth there , that not onely vicious cap.Siquis
pnefts, but alfo all they that favour them , or confent inquit.
to them in their vicioufnefte, fliall together perifh with

40 them, if they amend them notduely, as all they pe-
riflied that confented to Dathan and Abiram. For
nothing were more confufion to thefe forefaid vicious
priefts, than toefchew them prudently in all their un-
lawfiill Sacraments, while they continue in their fin-
full living flaaderoully as they have long time done ,
and yet doe. And no bodie needs to bee afraid
(though death did follow by one wife or other) to
die out of this world without taking of any Sacrament
of thefe forefaid Chrifts enemies , fince Chrift will

50 not faile to minifter himfelfe all lefull and heale-
fuU SaCTamen«,and necefTarie at all time (and cfpecial-
ly at the end) to all them that are in true faith, in fted-
faft hope, and in perfect charity.

But yet fome mad fooles fay (to efchew flander ) they
will be fliriven once inthe^yeere, and communed of
their proper priefts , though they know them defouled
with llanderous vices. No doubt, but all they that
thus doe or confent privily or apertly to fuch doing,
are culpable of great finne ; Since Saint Paul witnef-

^ofeth, that not only they that doe evill are worthy of
death and damnation, but alfo they that confent to e-
vill doers. Alfo (astheirflandrous worfceswitnefle)
thefe forefaid vicious priefts , defpife and caft from
them heavenly cunning, that is given ofthe holy Ghoft.
Wherefore the Lord throwethall fuch defpifers from
him, that they neither ufe, nor doe any priefthood to
him.

No doubt then, all they that wittingly or wilfully
take or confent that any other body (hould take any fa-

70 crament of any fuch named priefl, finneth openly and
damnably againft all the Trinitie, and are unable to a-
ny facrament of health .

And that this forefaid fentence is altogether true, in-
to remiffion of all my finfiiU living, tru&ng ttedfaftly
inthemercieof God, I offer to nim my foule.

And to proove alfo the forefaid fentence true , with
the helpe of God, Ipurpofe fully to fuffer meekly and
gladly my moft wr etehfd Body to be totiftsoted where "

ttlftecs* enemy is Satanas, as his name fowneth, that hath put

his hand to all that him liketh . What fmne I pray you,

will the fiend havefow on men, that nis now yufed ?

■ In what plenty is now pride, envy, wrath.and covetifc?

when were they fo great as they bee now ? and fo of all

other iinnes. And why trowell thou ? But for there be

a lawleffe people entred into thy fanftuary.that neither

keepe inthemfelfe the law of God, ne konne teachen

other; and to every fuch faith God by the Prophet,

Ofe 4. Ofe4. For that thou haft put awaycunning, I (hall

put thee away, that thou (ball ufe no priefthood to

mee. Loe that God exprefly here in holy Writ forbid^

deth men to take the ilate of priellhood on them, but

they have cunning that needeth them. Thou then that

canft neither rule thy felfe, ne other, after the law of

God, beware how thou wilt anfwer to God, at his

d'readfull dome, when he Ihall fay to thee, that which

I tooke to my thcame ;

Yeld the reckening of thy baily, how thou haft
entred.

The fecond queftion that every curate and prelate
of holy Church fhall anfwere to, is this : How haft
thou ruled ? That is to fay, the foules of thy fuggets.
and the goods of poore men : Geve now thine ac-
count. Firft, how thou haft governed Gods folke that
, were take thee to keepe ? Whether art thou an herd
oran hired man, that doft all forloveofbodelichhire?
As a father, or as a wolfe that eaten hiSr fheepe, and
keepeth them nought? Say, whom halt thou turned
from his curfed living by thy devout preaching?
Whom haft thou taught the law of God that was earft
uncunning ? There fliall been heard a grievous accu-
iing of fatherleife children, and a hardalledging, that
. priefts have liveden by their wages, and not done a-
way their finnes. Yeld alfo rec^koning how thou haft
tuled, and fpended the goods <jf poore men. Harke
Bernardus. what Saint Bernard faith; Dread clerkes, dread the
minifters of the Church, the which been in the place
of Saints, that they doc fo wickedly, nought holding
them apaid with fuch wages that were luflicient to
them- That overplus that needy men fliould befuftai-
hed by, they bee not afliamed to wafte in the houfe of
their pride and lechery', and withholden to themfelfe
Wickedly and curfedly that which fliould bee the life-
loode of poore men. With double wickednelTe trudy
they fmne. Firft, for they reeven other mens goods,
and faith, they mifufe holy things in their vanities and
in their filths. Every fuch baily therefore beware, for
anon to the laft fartiiing hee fhall recken with Chrift.
Troweft thou not then that thou ne Ihalt be difallowed
of God, ofthat thou haft mifpended in feeding of fat
palfreys, of hounds, of hawkes, and if it fo bee, that
is worft of all, on lecherous women? Hearewhatis
faid of fuch . They had led their d aies in wealths ; And
in a point they ben gone downe into hell. Think there-
fore I rede thee, that thou flialt yeldireekening of thy
baily.

The third queftion that this baily fhall anfwere to,
is this ; How haft thou lived ? What light of holi-
nefie haft thou fhewed in thy living to the people,
or what mirror haft thou ben of holinefle to them ?
Geve now thy reckoning how thou haft lived, as a
prieft, or as a leude man, as a hian, or as a beaft. That
is to wonder truely how the life of priefts is chaun-
ged. They beeclothenas knights, they fpeaken as un-
honeftly as carles ; other of winning as Merchaunts ;
they riden as princes, and all that is thus fpended, is
of the goods of poore men, and of Chrifts heritage.
Therefore faith an holy Doiftor; The clay of Egypt
was tough and ftinking, and medled with bloud.
The dates were hard to bee undone, for they were

luft. In, this travaileth rich man , in this they wake,
awaiting poore men. In thefe travaileth prelates, that
ben too much blent with too much fliining of ri-
ches, that make them houfes like Churches in great-
neffe, that with divers paintries coloren their cham-
bers, that with divers clothings of colors make ima-
ges gay ; buf the poore man, for default of clothes,
beggeth , and with an empty wombe crieth at the
doore. And if I fliall the footh fay, faith this Doftor,

10 oft time poore men bee robbed for to clothe the trees
and ftones. Of fuch fpeaketh the Prophet, How art
thou here, or as who art thou ? Here thou art occu-
pying the place of Peter and of Paul, or of Thomas Efa.ii. quis
or of Martine : But how, as ludas among the Apo- w hie auc
files, as Simon Magus among the Difciples, as a can- quafiquid
dlenewqueint that ftincheth all the houfe in fteadof hie,
a light lanterne, as a fmoke that blindeth mens eien,
in place of cleane fire ? If thou contrary thus the forme
of living that Chrift and his Difciples left to priefts,

20 Lo what faith the Prophet leremy. They have entred, lere,?:;
and they have had, and nought ben obedient. They
haven with falfe title, or with their falfeand corrupt
intention had poore mens goods to their mifufing,
and they have not bee obedient to the law of God in
their owne living. Thereforeitis writ, that the hardeft Sap. <j
dome fliall fall on fuch. An hard dome, for they have
mifentred; An harder dome, for they have mifruled;
And the hardeft dome, for they have fo curfedly lived.
Thinke therefore I rede, how thou wile give reckening i

20 of thy baily. j

The fecond bailiffe, that accounteth at this dome JEi«ga,W''ttCC9
for himfelfe and alfo for other, is hee that keeping ? masfttcate*

andShireves,andIuftices. And thefe fliuU alfo anfwer ^tf^B.
to the fame three queftions. The firft queftion, how
haft thou entred, that is to fay, into thine office .»
Other for heipe of the people to deftroy falflied and
fiirtheren truth ? Other for defu-e of winning of
worldly worfliip : If thou take fuch an office, more

.Q for thine o'ttfne worldly profit than for helpe of the
communite, thou art a tyrant as the Philofopher
feith. For it is to feare left there been too many that
defiren fuch ftates, that they may the rather opprefle >
thilke that they hateth, and take gifts to fpare to pu-
nifli thilke that haven trefpaifed , and fo maketh
them partners of their finnes. And many fuch, when
they been fo high, they recke nought that they beth
poore mens brethren, but they wene to paflTe them
in kinde, as they paffeth in worldly worlhip, that is
but winde : Of which God faith by the Prophet, Ofp g.
They have raigned, but nought of mee, they have been
princes, but I know nought. So wee readeof Reho-
boam, that was the fonne of King Salomon, what time iPva.wJ
hee was firft King, the people of Ifrael comentohim,
and faid. Thy father in his laft dayes put on us great
charge. Wee pray thee fome deale make it lighter,
and wee willen ferve thee . And the King tooke eounfell
of the old wife men, and they counfailden to anfwer
them faire, and that fliould bee for the beft. But hee

60 left thefe old wife niennis counfaile , and did after
the counfaile of children that were his playfeien, and
faid to the people when they came againe ; My left
finger is greater than my fathers riegge ; My father
grieved you fomewhat, but I will echen more there-
to. And the people heard this, and rebeledento him,
and tooke them anothor King; and fith, the king-
dome tame never whole againe : and therefore it is
good, that every ruler of commonalties, that they bee
not lad by follies, ne by none other ears rowner, that

•JO he ne have an eygh of love to the comontythat hee
hath to rule. For were yee well, bee hee never fo high,
that hee fliall come afore higher, to yeeld reckoning of
his baily.

The fecond queftion is, Ho,w haft thou ndedthc l^otoSaajtSaiJi

thty fhuUcth bee opened to all the world to rcdcn
therein both dcdis and thoughts. But the booke of
life is Chrifis living and doitrinc, that is now hid to
men that Ihullcth be damned through theifownema-

10 lice, chat dcemeth men to fcrve the world rather than
God : In the firft book fhall be write all that wc ha-
veth doc, in that other booke Ihall be write that we
Ihuldcn have doc, and then fhullc dedc men bee
dcmyd of thilke thingis that ben written in the bookis:
For if the dedis that we haven doe, the which bccne
writtenin the bookisof ourconfciencc, be according
to the booke of Chrifis teaching and hiis living, the
which is the booke of lite, we ihulle be faved, oreUe
we (huUe be damned, for the doome (hall be given

20 after our workis. Lookc therefore now what thing
is written in the booke of thy confcience, while thou
art here : and if thou findeft ought contrary to Chrifts
life, other to his teaching , with the knife of penaunce
and repentance fcrape it away and write it better, ever-
more hertly thinking that thou (halt yelde rcckening of
thy bayly.

Alio I faid principally that it were to witen, what
reward fhall bee geve on that doome, .to wife ferv'ants
and good, and what to falfe fervants and wicked . For

30 the which it is towite, that our Lord lefus Chrift
(hall Gome to the doome here into this world, in the
fame body that he tooke of our Ladie, having there-
on the woundis that he fuffered for our againebieng.
And all that ever fhuUen be faved, taking againe their
bodyes clyving to their head Chrift , ihull be ravilhed
metyng him in the aire, as Paul faith: They that fhall
be damned lyen upon the earth, as in a tonne of wine
the dreggis dwellen byneth, and the clierewine ho-
veth above. Then fhall Chriff axe reckening of the

^o deedes of mercy, reproving falfe chriften men for the
levying of them, rehei-fing the deedes of the fame
and other truthis by the which his true fervants then
followed him , that (hulle thilke falfe fervants goa
with the devill, whom they have fervedin the earth,
then fwall owing into the endleffe fire. And rightful!
men ihuUen goe into everlafting life , then (hall bee
fuIlfiUed chat is written in the booke of privities ; Woe
woe, woe, to hem that dwellen in the earth. Woe to
the paynym thatgafe that worfhip to dead images

50 wrought of mans hands, and to other creatures that
he (hould have gone to God that him wrought .- Woo

sg The definitive fenrdnee of ibis con-
demnation.

]N the rtame of God ; So bee it, Wie Thomaj by
the fufferance of God , Archbifliop of CantcrburiCj
Metropolitane and Piiretate of all England, and Le-
gate from the Apoftolike See of Rome, will this to bee
knowne unto all men . In a certaine caufe of herefiis and
upon divers articles, whereupon Sir lohn Oldcaftle
knight , and Lord Cobhani, after a diligent inquifiti-
on made for the fame, was detfefted, accufcd. and pte-
fented beforeus in our laft convocation of all our pro-
vince of Canterbury, holden in the Cathedrall Church
of Pauls at London , At the lawful! denouncement and
reque# of our univcrfall clergie of the faid convocati-
on, wee proceeded againll him according tothelSw
( God towitnelTe) with all the favour poffible. And
following Chrifts example in all that we might , ^hich
Willeth not the death of a finner, but rather thathee:
might be converted and live ; wee tookeupon us to
correft him , and fought all other wayes poffible to
bring him agalne to the Churches unitie , declaring
unto him what the holy and Vniverfall Church of
Rome hath faid, holden, determined, and taught in
that bebal fe. And though we found him in the Catho-
like faith farre wide, andfolHffnecked, that he would
not confelle his errour, nor purge himfelfe , nor yet re-
pent him thereof ; Wee yet pitying him of fatherly
compaffion, and entirely defiring the health of his
foule, appointed him a competent time of deliberati-
«n, to fee if he would repent and feekc to bae refor-

med : but fmce that time wee have found him worfe
indworfe. Confidering therefore, that hee is not
corrigible , we are driven to the very extremitie of the
law, and with great heavinefle of heart wee now pro-
ceed to the publication of the fentence definitive, a-
gainfthim.

i! Chrill wee take unto witnefTe, that nothing
elfe we feeke in this our whole enterpj-ife, but his on-
ly glory. Forafmuch as wee have found by divers
afts done, brought forth and exhibited, by fundrjr
evidences , fignes and tokens, and aMb by many moft
manifeft proofes , the faid fir lohn Oldcaftle knight,
and Lord Cobham, not only to be an evident heretike

20 in his owne perfon, but alfo a mighty maintainer of o-
ther heretikes aguinft the faith and religion of the ho-
ly and univerfall Church of Rome ; namely about the
two Sacraments ( of the altar , and of penance ) be-
fides the Popes power and pilgrimages | And that he,
as the childe of iniquitie and darknefle , hath fo har-
dened his heart , that hee will in no cafe attend unto
the voice of his paftor j Neither will hee bee allured
by ttra^ht admonifliments , nor yet bee brought in
by favourable words : The worthinefli of the cauft

30 firfl Waighed on the one fide, and his unworthinefle a-
gaine confidered on the other fide, his faults alfo ag-
gravated or made double through his damnable obfli-
nacy ( we being lothjthat he which is naught Oioold b«

multitude) by thefagecounfeUandaffent of the ve-
ry difcreet fathers, our honourable brethren and
Lords , Bjftiops here prefent , Richard of London ,
Henry of Winchefter, amd Bennet of Bangor, and of
other great learned and wife men here, bothDoftors

40 of Divinitie, and of the lawes canon and civil! . fecu-
lais and rel igious,with divers other expert men affilling
us : wee fentcntially and definitively by this prefent
writing judge, declare Ind condemne the &id iir lohn
Oldcaftle, Knight, and Lord Cobham, for a moR
pernicious and defeftable heretike, convifled upon the
lame, and refufing utterly to otey the Church againe,
committing him here from hencefonh as a condemned
heretike, to the lecular jurifdiiftion, power, and judge-
ment , to doe him thereupon to death. Finthermore,

50 we eicommunicat'e and denounce accurfej, not only
this heretikehere prefent, but fo many elfe befides , as
fball hereafter in favour of his errour either receive
tom or defend him, counfell himorhelpehim,oranjr
other way maintaine him ; as very fautors, receivers,
defenders, counfellors, aiders and maintaiaers of con-
demned heretikes.

And that thefe preraifles may bee the better
knowne of all faithfiill Chriftian men, wee commit
it here unto your charges, and give you flrsflght cob>-

60 mandement thereupon by this writing alfo ; That
yee caufe this condemnation and definitive fentence
of excommunication concerning both this heretike
and his fautors , to bee publiflied throughout all

claration alfo the people may fall from their evill o-

worlliippiilg of Saints, and of the keyes, contrary ro iq appeare befo'rc us the Saturday next after tiitfcaft of

that which the univerfall Church of Rome doth teach
and affirme.

Wherefore , on the behalfc of the faid Prelates
and Cleigie , wee were then required that we would
vouchfafc to proceed againllthe faid Sir lohn Old-
caftlc upon the prcmifl'es. Notwithftanding for the
reverence of our Lord the King, in whofe favour the
faid fir lohn at that prefent was , and no lefle alfo
forhonourof his Knighthood ; wee with our fellow

Saint Matthew the Apoltle and F.vangelift ncTtcom-
ming, to fhcw fome rcafonablc caufe, if he can, why
hee Ihould not proceed againft him, to a more grie-
vous puniihment , as an open heretike , fchifmatike ,
and open enemy of the univerfall Church. And per-
fonally to declare why hee fliould not bee pronoun-
ced fuch an one. or that the aide of the I'ecular po-
wer fhould notbe folcninly required againft him. And
further to anfwer, doe, and receive as touching the

Brethren , and fuffragans then prefent, with a great 20 premifles , whatfoever jullice fliall require. The

part of the Clergie of our Province, comraing per-
fonally before the prefenceof our Lord the King, be-
ing then at his Mannor of Kenington, put up againft
the faid fir lohn a complaint, partly reciting the faults
of the faid fir lohn. But at the requeft of our Lord
the King , we defiring to reduce the faid fir lohn to
the unicic of the Church, without any reproch, we de-
ferred all the execution of the premilTes for a great
time. Butatthelart, forfomuch as our faid Lord the

which time beingcome, that is to fay, the Saturday
next after the feaft of Saint Matthew, being th«
twentie foure day of September. Sir Robert Morley
Knight , Lievtenant of the Tower of London , ap-
peared perfonally before us , fitting in the Chapter-
houfeof the Church of Saint Paul at London, with
reverend fellow brethren and lords. Richard by the
grace of God BilTiop of London . and Henry Bilhop
of Winchefter. and brought with him Sir lohn Old-

King, and his great travels taken about the converfion 2q caftle Knight , andfethim before us (for a little be-

of him , did nothing at all profit, as our faid Lord the
King vouchfafed to certifie us byword and writing;
wee immediately decreed to call forth the faid fir lohn
perfonally to anfwer before us at a certaine time a' re a-
dy paffed , in and upon the premilfes . and fent our
mefiengers -with thefe our letters of citation to the
faid fir lohn , then being at his caflle at Cowling. Vn-
to the which meflenger wee gavecommandement, that
he fliould in no cafe goe into the Caftle , except hee
: b '

fore hee was taken by the Kings fervants , and caft in-
to the Tower : ) unto which Sir lohn Oldcaftle fo
perfonally prefent wee rehearfed all the order of the
procefle.as it is contained in the afts of the day be-
fore pafled , with good and modeft words and gentle
meanes ; That is to fay, how he the faid fir lohn was
detedied and accufed in the Convocation of the Pre- '5^[|cl. Coli-
lates and Clergie of our faid Province , as is aforefaid, ti^J^^^IJit""
upon the articles before rehearfed , and how hee was

Vk 'Eotscc.

■were licenfed. But by the meane of one lohn Butler, 40 cited, and for his contumacie excommunicate. And

porrer to the Kings Chamber , hee fliould require the
faid fir lohn, that hee would either licenfe the faid
Meflenger to come into the Caftle. or that hee would
cite him. or at the leaft, that he would fuffer himfelfe
to be cited without his Caftle . The which fi r lohn o-
penly anfwered unto the faid lohn Butler , declaring
thepremiflfes unto him onthebehalfeofourLordthe
King; that he would by no meanes bee cited , nei-
ther in any cafe fuifer his citation. Then wee be-

when wee were come to that point wee offered our ■^^ctciire? of
felves ready to abfolve him. Notwithftanding , the tS? CcocoDiU-
faid fir lohn , not regarding our offer , faid , that he
would willingly rehearfe before us, and my faid fel-
low Brethren, the faith which hee held and affirmed.
So he having his defire; and obtaining licenfe, took out
of his bofome a certaine fchedule indented, and there
openly reade the contents of the fame, and-delivered
the fame fchedule unto us, and the fchedule of thearti-

tion ntsUct(0>

ing certified of the premifTes, lawfully proceeded «jo cles whereupon he was examined, which was in form*

further.

Firft. having faithfiill repoit made unto us, that
hee could not bee apprehended by perfonall citation ,
Wee decreed to cite him by en Edi6t, to bee openly fet
up in the porches of the Cathedrall Church of Ro-
cnefter next unto him, little more than three Englifli
miles diftant from the faid caftle of Cowling. As we
had thus caufed him to be cited, and our Edift afore-
faid to be publikely and openly fet upon the porches of

ofis this ; That the kings majeity fhould bring to pafle,
that the heretikes which were now lately fprung up in

trull by Gods grace the fame or noife is fprung and
blown abroad 5 it fliall be our part to forefee and take
heed, that neither the kings majefty, neither the noble
kingdome of Boheme,fliould be driven to beare or fuf-
fer any reproch or flander for me. Wherefore now of

great labour and diligence caufed to bee openly fet

eth verity and truth throughout all generations , do-
ing jufticc to fuch as be wronged, being ready and at
hand to all thofe which call upon him in verity and
truth, unbinding thofe that are bound , andfiilfilling
the defires of all thofe which honour and feare him ;
defending and keeping all thofe that love him , and
utterly deftroying and bringing to mine the fliffe-nec-
ked and unpenitent (inner , and that the Lord lefus
Chrift ver)' God and man , being in great anguifh,
compafled in with the Priefts , Scribes andPharifies,
wicked Judges and witnefles , willing by the moft bit-
ter and ignominious death to redeeme the children of
God , chofen before the foundation of the world ,
from everlafting damnation ; hath left behinde him
this godly example for a memorie unto them which
Ihould come after him, to the intent they fliould com-
mit all their caufes into the hands of God , who can do
all things, and knowethand feethall things, faying
in this manner : O Lord , behold my afBidtion , for

jiavcc of my enemy hath prepared himfelf againft me , and thou yo bide the puniihment of the fire to anfwer to allluch

audience unto my advocates /and procurators , which
they ought not to deny , ( no not to a lew or Pagan,
or to any heretike whatfoever he were) neither ycc
would he receive any reafonable excufe , for that I did
not appeare perfonally , neither would he accept the
teftimonials of the whole Vniverfity of Prage with
the feale hangiiig at it , or the witnefTe of the fworne
Notaries, and fuch as were called unto witnefle. By
this all men may evidently perceive, that I have not in-
fo curred any fault or crime of contumacie or difobedi-
ence , forfomuch as that I did not appeare in the court
of Rome, was not for any contempt, out for reafonable
caufes.

And moreover^ forfomuch as they had laidam-
buihmcnts for mee on every' fide by wayes where I
fliould pafte, and alfo becaufe the perils and dangers
of others have made mee the more circuralpeft and
advifed : And forfomuch as my procilrers were wil-

given me underftariding , and I have acknowledged
thee, thou haft opened unto me all their enterprifes^
and for mine owne part, I havebeeneasa meek lamb
which is led unto facrifice, and have not refifted a-

upon me , faying; Let us put wood in his bread, and
let us banifb him out of the land of the living, that

as would' oppofe or lay any riling againft me in the

The Sermon of the Biftiop of Londy,

before the fentenee was given

njon lahn Hhs,

IN' the Name of the Father, the'iSoiilne, and 6i the
Holy Ghoft. Trufting by humble invocation upon
the divine helpeand aid, mofl noble Prince, and moil
Chrittian Emperour, and you moft excellent Fathers,
and reverend Lords, Bilhops, and Prelates, alfomoft
excellent doft<vs and mafters,famous and noble Dukes,
and high Counts, honourable Nobles, and Barons, and
all other men worthy of remembrance ; that the intent
dndpurpofe of my minde may the more plainely and
evidently appeare unto this moft facred Congregation,
I am firft of alldetermined to intreat or fpeake of that
-which is read in the EpiftleonthenextSunday, in the
.Cxt chapter to the Romanes, That is to lay. Let the bo-
dy of fmbedeftroyed, &c.

, It appeareth by the authority of Ariftotle , in his
booke intituled De lalod^-miado, how wicked, dange-
rous, and foolUh a matter it feemeth to be.ndt to with-
ftand perverfe and wicked beginnings. For hee faith,
that a fmall 'error in the beginning is .very great in the
end. It is very damnable and dangerous to have er-
red,but more hard to be correfted or amended.Where-
upo'n that worthy Doftor S . lerome in his booke upon
the expofition of the Catholike faith> teacheth how
neceflary a thing it is that heretikes and herefies {hould
■be fupprefled, even at the firft beginning of them, fay-
ing thus ; The rotten and dead flefli is to be cut off from
the body,left that the whole body do perifli & putrific.
For a fcabbed (heepe is to bee put out of the fold, left
that the whole flocke he infefted . And a little fire is to
bee quenched, left the whole houfe bee confumed and
burned. Arrius was firft a fparke in Alexandria, who
becaufe hee was not at the firft quenched, hee prefumed
and went abont with his wicked and perverfe imagma-
tions, and fhantafticall inventions, to fpot and defile
the Catholike faith, which is founded and etobhflied
by Chrift, defended with the viftorious triumphs of fo
tnany Martyrs, and illuminate and fet forth with the
excellent doftrines and writings of fo many fflen* .Such
therefore muft bee refitted ; fuch heretikes of nsceffir/
muft be fupprefled and condemned.

Whcrcforcl havetruely propounded, « touching
the 'punilhment of every Inch otfthnatc hcrctikc, thac
the body of fmnc is to bee dcllroycd. VVhcrcupon it is
to bee confidcrcd according unto the holy traditi.;
ons of the Fathers.- that fonic finncs arc adverfc and
contrary unto another. Othcrfomc arc annexed or
con;oyncd together; otherfome are, 35 it were bran-
ches and members of others; and forac arc as it were
the rootcs and iiead of others. Amongft all which,

lo thofc are to bee counted the moft dctcltablc, out of
the which the moft and v/orft have their originall
and beginning. Wherefore, albeit that all {Innes and
offences arc to bee abhorred of us ; yet thofc arc fpe-.
cially to bee efchcwcd, which are the head and rootc
of the reft. For by how much the perverfeneftb of
tiicm is of more force and power to hurt , Vith fo
much the more fpced and circumfpeftion ouglit they
to bee rooted out and extinguiflied , with apt prefer-*
vativcs and remedies, Forfomuch then as amongft

20 all finnes, none doth more appeare to bee inveterate
than the mil'chiefe of this moft execrable fchifmc,
therefore have I right well propounded that the bov
die of finne fliould bee deftroyed. For by the long
continuance of this fchifme, great and moftciueU
deftruilion is fprung up amongft the faithhiU , and
hath long continued; abominable divifions of herc-i
fies are growne ; threatnings are incrcafed and mul-
tiplied; the confiifion of the whole clergy is growne
thereupon, and the opprobries and (landers. of the

30 Chriftian people are abundantly fprung up- and in-
creafed. And truely it is no marvell, forfomuch as
that moft deteftable and execrable fchifme, is, as it
wera , a body and heape of diflblution of the trutf
faith of God; for what can bee goodorholyin that
place, whereas fucha peftiferous fchifme hath raign-
ed fo longatime? For as faint Bernard faith. Like as
in the unityandooncordof the feithfuU, there is- the
habitation and dwelling of the Lord , fo likewise iri
the fcliifme and diffipation of the Chriftiansj- there

40 is madethe habitation and dwitling of the Devill. Is
not fchifme and divifioh the originall of all fubverfi-
on, the denne of herefies, and the nouriflier of al
offences ? for the knot of unity and peace being once
troubled and broken , there is free palfage made for
all ftrife and debate . Covetoufncffc is uttered in othes
for lucres fake, luft and will is fet at liberty, 3nd ali
meanes opened unto flaughter. All right and equity is
banilhed, the Ecclefiafticall power is injured; and the
calamity of this fchifme bringeth in all kindeof bon-

50 dage, fword and violence doth rule, the kity have the-
dominion , concord and unity are banilhed , and all-
prefcript rules of religion utterly co.-itenlned and fet ac
naught. - .-;..•._;

Gonfider moft gentle lords , during this moft pe-
ftiferous , fchifme; how many lierefies have appeared
and fhewedthemfelves', how many heretikes have
fcaped unponiflied, how many Churches have beene
fpoyled and pulled downe , how many Cities have
beene opprefled, and regions brought to ruine, what>

£q confufion hath there hapned in the Clergy ? Whas
and how ■ great deftrutlion hath beene amongft the
Chriftian people ? I pray you marke how .the ChurcH
of G O D, the fpoufe of Chriftj and the mo*hex of all
faithfuU, is contemned and defpifed. For who doth
reverence the keyes of the Church, who feareth the
cenfiires or lawes, or who is it that doth defend the
liberties thereof? But rather who is it, that doth nos
offend the fame, or who doth not invade it, .or elfe
what is hee that dare not violently lay hands upon

_Q the patrimony or heritage of lefts Chrift ? . The

' goods of the clergy, and of the pooie; and the reliefe
of pilgrims and ftr,angers , gotten .together by the
blood of our- Saviour . and of many MartjTs, are
fpoiled and taken away : behold the abomination of
the defolation brought upon the Church qf G O D;
die deftruftion of the faith, and the confufion of the
Chriftian people, to tlie ruine of the Lords flocke

as is not to you unknowne. Who if he had firll refor-
ted unto us, and had gone with us up to the Councellj
perhaps it had beene othei-wife with him. And God
knoweth what griefe and forrow it was to our heart, to
fee it fo to fall out,as with no words can be well expref-
fed. Whereof all the Bohemians , which were there
prefent, can beare us witnelle , feeing and beholding
how carefull and folicitous we were in labouring for
him : Infomuch that we many times with anger and
fiiry departed out of the Cour.cell ; and not onely out
of the Councell , but alfo went out of the city of
Conftance talcing his part, unto fuch time as the rulers
of the Councell fending unto us, faid j That if we
would not permit them to profecute that which right
required in the Councell, -what fhould they then doe in
the place? Whereupon thus we" thought with our
felves,- that here was nothing elfe for us more to doe,
nor yet to fpeake in this cafe , forafmuchas tlie whole
Councell othenvife had beene dilTblved. Where is to
be noted moreover, that in Conltance the fame time
there was not oneclerke, or two, but there were Am_
balladours from all Kings and Princes in Chriftendonj,
elpecially, fince the time that (Petrus de Luna giving

1 Defire you yet againe for the love of God , that the
Lords of Boheme joyning together wijl defire the
king for a finall audience to be given me. Forfomuch
as he alone faid to me in the Councell, that they fliould
give me audience fhortly, and that I Ihould anfwer for
my felfe briefly in writing : it will be to his great con-
fiifion , if he fhall not performe that which he hath
fpoken. But I feare that wor<i of his will be as firm.e
and fure, as the other was concerning my fafe conduifl
granted by him. Certaine there were in Bohemia,
which willed me to beware of his fafe conduit. And
other faid , he will furely give you to your enemies.
And the Lord Mikdl Dwakie told me before M, lefle-
nitz, faying, mafier, know it for certaine you Ihall be
condemned. And this I fuppofe he fpake, knowing be-
fore the intention of the King- I hoped well that he
had beene well aft'efted toward the Law of God and
the truth , and had therein good intelligence : how I
conceive that he is not greatly skilfiill,norfo prudently
circumfpeft in hirofelfe. He condemned me before
mine enemies did. Whoif ithadpleafedhim , might inoticrat'c''M

mifed fo to doe, and afterward would not performe it. ^^
Wherefore I have committed my fclfe to the Lord Ic-

you were here at Conftance, ye fliould fee the grievous

have heard it lay the Swechers reponcd. that the City
of Conftance is not able in thirty yearc to be purged of
tfiofe abominations in that Councell committed. And
all bee offended almoft with that Councell, being fore
grieved to behold ilich execrable things perpetrate in
the fame.

_ When I flood firft to anfwere before mine adverfa-
ries, feeing all things there done with no order, and
hearing them alfo outragioufly crying out, I faid plain-

fentence in condemning my bookes. They fhallbce
fcattered hither and thither abroad, like light butter-

They went about to lliake my conftancy from the ve-

of God in me. They would not reafon with the Scrip-

for the truth of God, tookemvpart lloutly ; namely
lord Wenceflaus delDuba, and lord lohnde Clum :
for they were letin by King Sigifmund into the Coun-

how they have overcome me, with no grounded Scrip-

The fixth Part or Sedion, pertainini

to the kil: three hundred yeeres.

A Preface to the Header.

Ccording to the five fundry diverfities and alterations of the Church, fo have I divided hitherto the order of
^ _^this prefent Church ftorie into five principall parts, every part containing 300. yeeres. So that now coming to
ffielaftjoo. yeeres, that is, to the laft times of the Church, counting from the time of WickhfFe : Forafmuch as in
the compafTe of the faid laft 300. yeeres are contained great troubles and perturbations of the Church, with the mar-
veiloiis reformation of the fame through tlie wondrous operation of the Almighty j all which tilings cannot be
comprehended in one Bookc : I have therefore difpofed the faid latter 300. yeeres into divers Bookes, beginning
Eow with the fixth Book at the raigne of King Henry the fixth. In which Book befidethegrievous and fundry perfe-
cucions raifed up by Antichrifl, to be noted, herein is alfo to be obfer\'ed, that whereas it hath of longtime beene
received and thought of the common people, that this Religion now generally ufed hath fprung up and rifen but of
- late, even by the fpace (as many doe think; of ^. or 30. yeeres, it may now manifeftly appeare, not only by the Afts
and Monuments heretofore pafled, but alfo by the Hiftories hereafter following, how this profefiion of Chrifts
Religion hath beene fpread abroad in England of old and ancient time , not onely for the fpace of thefe 200. late
yeeres, from the time of Wickliffe, but hath continually from time to time fparkled abroad, although the flames
thereof have never fo perfetlly burft out, as they have done within thefe hundred yeeres and more ; As by theft
Hiftories here col'.edled and gathered out of RegiftSrs, efpecially of the diocelTe of Norwich, fhall manifeftly ap-
peare : whereinmay befeenewhatmen, andhow many both men and women within the fjiid-diocelTe of Norwich
have beene, which have defended the fame caufe of doflrine which now is received by us in the Church. Wliich
perfons although then they were not fo ftrongly armed in their caufe and quarrel! as of late yeeres they have beene,
yet were they Warners in Chrifts Church, and fought to their power in the fame caufe. And although they gave
backc through tyranny, yet judge thou the beft good Reader, and referre the caufe thereof to God, who revealetft
all things according to his determinate will and appointed time.

King Henry
the fixth.

Councell are not of force, he muft needs grant, that tlie
SUl'onff sxi\e depri\ation of Pope lohn , which was done by the

Pope Martin of any force, which was done he being

the fame yeere.

But forfo.much as words are ci^illy to be under,
flood, this fenfe or underflandiug is too ferre di(a-
grceable. For if any man will fay, then it is com-
manded to be prorogued, that is alfo forbidden in
the Chapter Frfj/CT/f. He that dotlifo argue, doth no:
underlbnd himfclfe, nor the force of the words. It is
not prorogued if it be begun the fecond or third

defend the decrees of that Councell, then your holi-
nefife j for if any decree of that Councell be called into
doubt; by like nieanes may all the reil of the decrees
be revoked. And by like meanes fhall the decrees of
any other Councell be of no force and effcfl : for by
like reafon, as the faith of one Councell is weakned, all

that which is in their power. Forif it were a proro-
gation , then forfomuch as a prorogation doth fa-
vour of the nature of the firft delay, it could not be
begun before the time prorogued; but tfii hapneth
not in our cafe : for albeit Tt were not begun in the
firftmoneth, but in the fecond or third, it is not there-
by concluded that it couM not be begun in the firft :
but if there had beene any prorogation made till the
fecond moneth, then it could nothave beene benin in

Then, faith he, both the faith and all other Sacraments 5° the firft, as for example, Ipromifeto give an hundred

{hallbeputin doubt, if that there be once any doubt
made of the force and power of any Councell lawhilly
congregate. There was a decree made in the Councell
of Conftance, intituled F,cq«ens, Whereby it was
ordained, that the firft Councell after that iliould be
holden within five yeeres, and another within feven
yeercs after that againe. The Councell of Cpnifance
being ended, and the five yeeres pafled, the Councell of
Papia or Scene was holden, after which feven yeeres

pounds after Eafter; afore Eafler it cannot be requi-
red, but by and by sfter Eafter it may be required ;
and albeit that I be not urged for it, notwithftanding
Idoe notceafe tobebound; andif fo be I be demand-
ed it in the fecond or third moneth after,itis not thereby
underfbod that there is any prorogation made ; Nei-
ther doth it follow, but that it might have beene de-
manded in the beginning, which Could not have beene
done if that there had beene any prorogation made.

being alfo runne over,this Councell is begun to be ceJe- 60 Alfo it is the nature of prorogation to be made be-

brate. To what c^d then is it exprefled in the Bull of the
diffolution, amongft other caufes, that the fcventh j'eere
is already paft > When as of neceffity it ought to be paf-
fed before the Councell can be celebrate. For thele
vords, from feven yeere or five yeere, fignifie accor-
ding to the law, that all parts of time fhould be pafled,
and the laft day looked for. Wherefore it behoved that
feven 3'eers to be fully compleat, before this Councell of
Eafil lliould begin. Like as five yeeres were fully ex-

fore the firft terms or day be pafled. For otherwiie
it is no prorogation, but a new appointment. Andal.
beititmaybe laid, that then it niaybelong delayed;
it is anfwered, that in this point we muftfhnd unto
the judgement of the Church, which confidering di-
vers circiunftances would thinke the timemeete. For
the libeity of celebrating of Councells was inftitute
for the profit and favour of the Church. What if it
fhould happen that when the time cometh, in the

pired, before that the Councell of Papia did begin. But yo place where a Councell fhould be kept there be 2

pcradventure fome man willfaj', that it oughtto have
begun the firft day after the feventh yeere was expired,
por otherwife the termc of the Councell is palfed. But
hereunto we may anfwer , that it is not contained in
the Chapter Frcrjmts , that except it Mere holden the
firll:day, it ifiould not be holden at all, neither can it
be gathered cither by the words or meaning. For it
IS onely required that itlTiould beholden after feven

great plague, or fome fiege, which fhould continue
by the fpace of three or foure moneths, and the Pope in
the meane time doth not change the place according to
the forme of the Chapter Frtqu!n<, and that through
fuch impediments the Prelates did not come the ErA
day unto the place, or if any were coming and were
taken by the way, wi..ch if they had not beene taken,

His holy Keys he took and cafl

And afterward into his hand

A Prayer againft the Turkes.

OEternall Lord God, Father of our Lord lefusChrift, Creator and difpofer of all things, juft, gracious, and
wife (jnely; in the name and reverence of thy Sonne lefus, we proftrite our felves, dcfiring thine omnipotent
Majeftietolooke downeupon thefe afflifted times of thy poore creatures and fer^■ants ; relieve thy Church, increale
our Faith, and confound our enemies : and as tliou hafte gi\en thine oncly begotten Sonne unto us, promifing with
himlifeto all that fliallbeleeve upon his name ; fo incline the obedience of our Faith to thy promifcs inhim. that
our hearts may befarre off from all other finfuU additions and prophane inventions, which are beCdci him, and no:
in him, grounded upon thy will and promife. And grant (we befeech thee) to thy Church.morc and more to fee how
terrible a thing it is, to fet up any other meanes ornelp of falvation, but onely in him whom thou only haft fcnt an J
fealcd. Reforme thy Church with perfeil doflrine and faithfiill teachers, fhax we lecing our own^ weaknelTc, mav
put off our felves, and put on him without whom we can doe nothing. So lliall we ftand llrong, when nothing Ihnd-
ethinus, but thy Sonne alone, inwliomthou art onely pleafed. Renew in this thy Church againe the decayed
Faith of thy Sonne lefus, -which may plentiflilly bring forth in us, not leaves oncly, but fruia cif Chriftian life. And
forgive our wretched idolatry and blinde fancafies pad, wherewith we have provoked manifold wayes thy defcrvcd
indignation againft us. For our hearts have beene full of Idols, ourtemplesftiU of Images, our waves full of h>-po-
criiie : thy Sacraments piophaned, and thy religion turned tofuperftition becaufe the Lanthorneof thy Word wenc
not before us,therefore we have ftumbled. Miferably we have walked hitherto, like fonnes not of Sara, but of Agar,
and therefore thefe Turkifh Agarents have rifen up againft us. Many hard and rtraight wayes we ha\e oiiTcd, but th;
V ayes of the Lord we have not found. Much coft we have beftowcd on bread that fwageth no hunger, but that bread
which only feedeth and comcth freely we have not tafted. We have failed ferre and nect in Barkcs of our own bml-
ding, but have not kept wkhin the Arke onely of thy promife, and therefore thefe flouds have taken us. We have
rayed much, but not in thine appointed Temple, and thereforehave not beene heard. We have plowed and tilled,
^ut without thy heifer, and therefore this untidieground of our bringeth forth fo many weeds. We do fifh apace and
thatallnight, but becaufe we fifli not on the right fide ot the Boate, in our filbing we catch never a fin. Our buildings
be fiill of good intentions and great devotions, but becaufe the ground work is not furcly laid upon the rocke of thy
promife, theEaft winde rifeth and Ihakcth themalltofhivcrs. We walk and have walked loncafterthe Pffcep^
anddoarines of men, having a (liew of wifedome, but not a holding the head, where lye* all ourftrcngth and
therefore thefe Philiftian Turkes have hitherto fo prevailed againft us. Briefly, all the parts and bones ot the body be
ihaken out of place. Whereforewe befeech thee fO Lord) put to thy holy hand, andfetthemin thenght joynt
againe. And finally, reduce this fame thy myfticall body agajne to his perfeSand naturallhead which is thine^y

I

S&nne lefus Chrift, and none other. For him only hafte thou annointed and appointed.. Neitheris th^eanyoAer
head that can minifter ftrength and nutriment to this body, , but he alone ; Forafmuchas all other heads be lintuU
ndjn thyfieht, butmakcthis body rather worfe then better. Only this thy w^elbelove.d ^i
