vpon the last string of Malachie and the same tunes as the other two The Sonne of thunder beginneth from before the beginning shewing that by the SON God made the world and harpeth most vpon that string and teacheth the Pope that hee not Peter was the best beloued and needed not a threefold incouragement to feed the sheepe Thus the man Leui the Lion Marke The Oxe Luke Eagle Iohn play all Dauids tunes That mighty Theophilus saw in euery one Man Lion Oxe Eagle as Ezekiel chap. 1. Of the Actes The Actes telleth that S. Luke was full of eyes specially for depth of Ebrew skill Act. 7. and 13. as in his Gospell ch 4. which poinctes I touch in a Latin Epistle to PP of Germany and to our K. Maiestie The Antiochian sheweth how Antiochia first had Christian name to shew that Christ would be great ouer Magog Ezek. 39. and he alone was a miracle of Gods mercy But Nicolaus stood not sound as Antioch by Pride had a fall Though Peter were there and an heauenly company of which if Rome might haue bragged a 1000. Martin Luthers and Zuinglians and Martyrs Bucers should not haue shaken the Popes pride who swelleth that Paul comforteth the small Company who had no Apostles to strengthen that yet their faith was sounded ouer the world And S. Luke endeth in Paules speach vnto Iewes who knew not what the Gospell meant till hee came thither that the Pope might be ashamed to say that S. Peter was there whose writing is all in Iewes veine and if hee had bene there but one day the Synagogue had heard what the Gospell was In that he telleth how S. Paul was borne free in Rome and thereby found great protection and freedome and how Iesus our Sauiour told that he should bee the Apostle to bring his name before Caesar of the famous course by appeale from Festus to Caesar known to king Agrippa by famous nauigation and miracles these shew the Popes badnesse that would put all this out of tune to beg landes to match Emperors by a lye that S. Peter should be at Rome whereof God hath not giuen one syllable of found The Testimonie of Origen Clemens Alexandrine Tertullian Eusebius all vnsound and nothing worth without testimonie from them that should see him there The Pope must cut of all the stringes of S. Lukes harpe on mount Sion and vse Poliphemus musique to Galatea from Aetna if hee will stand in his old forgery Epiphanius would not stay vpon that fable though Latin writers to glory of the West could foster the fable Of the Epistle to the Romanes As the stringes of the Wolfes entralles will neuer haue concordes with the sheepes the musicall so the fable from the Pope that belieueth not that Christ is the only Rocke Psal 18. will neuer agree with the stringes of S. Paules epistle It Catechiseth men as needy of stay and telleth of a long desire that way and giueth expresse Law that euery soule should obey Caesar in matters of gouernement as to Iewes not taught in that And Modestly sheweth his reasons of rules fitt for simple though he was persuaded they could teach one another He had not passed ouer S. Peter if hee had taught them And hee pleadeth for his Bishoprick charge ouer the Gentils from Ierusalem to Illyrico all ready gone ouer and the Romanes to be of his Bishopricke where the name of Christ had not bene sounded by any Apostle And in salutations to fiue and twentie not one syllable soundeth toward that S. Peter had bene or euer should bee at Rome If the Pope had knowen IAH IEHOVAH THE ROCKE OF ALL AGES this epistle had taught him the Ebrews songe and to auoide them that should make sedition and scandala from this doctrine Of the first to the Corinthians This teacheth that the authority of Cephas Paul Apollos the cunning lawyer might not be of auctority But with expresse doctrine of Ceph to Rocke whereupon they that build be Cephae set vpon the Rocke And for excommunication he followeth the Synagogues sage manner That the open Court not Angelus Ecclesiae should practise it Though the Pope will be excōmunicating kings which thing Thal. Ieru in Sanedrin holdeth neuer vsed nor lawfull Other Thalmudique questions he decideth many and for the Lords supper putteth transsubstantiation out of tune and sheweth how all the Church should be as one body full of charitie and goodnesse and exhorteth all to haue skill in the Bible Of the second to the Corinth It continueth in the same tenor and that afflictions be the adiunctes to teachers of saluation not the Popes ease and quietnesse and that the Gospell shineth to all whom the god of this World blindeth not though ignorance be the mother of the Popes holy deuotion Against Purgatorie Where he sayth we know that if this earthly house of tabernack hath an end we haue a building from GOD an house not made with hands euerlasting in the heauens The Rock Leuit. 26. powreth water of that Doctrine to Moyses So Haides to all godly is heauen Of the Epist to Gal. Galatae barbarous Canniballs in Strabo are brought by S. Paul to the Rocke of saluation by faith without workes of the Law and if they stick to any one of them as Circumcision Christ profiteth nothing By this Epistle Martin Luther shewed the Pope to be an enimy to saluation And where he saith after many yeares he found Peter at Ierusalem and that Peter was the Iewes Apostle to saue whom hee could before the nation should be scattred And so he was for Greeks This water from the Rocke should wash away the Popes lies And the whole Epistle might tell him that he might as well repete Circumcision as Priest high Priest Mitre Cope Linen sacrifice Of the Epistle to the Ephesians The Epistle to the Ephesians conteineth a perfect doctrine of all faith penned easie for all to learne and dashing all popery The Philippians Are taught to reioyce in afflictions as the martyrs by Rome Apoc. chap. 1. and 7. and 11. and 12. and 14. and 15. and 17. and Pauls afflictions brought the name of Christ into Caesars pallace Colossians Epaphras brought the Colossians to the Rocke the son of God of whose aeternity and dignity S. Paul speaketh heauenly and to their building into all riches of full vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ about deceit of Philosophie Iewes Ceremonies for meate the Pope in both matters is busie that his Wolfes stringes make no musique but where Lupa gaue milke to Rome builders Of the first to the Thess They in affliction be an example for the Martyrs in Spaine haters of the Popes idolls The last glorious comming of Christ will be their comforts Second Thess They should not looke that the last dayes were come to the World as to the Iewes Common weale in Prophets Genes chap. 49.
