glorye O Henry the seuenth a ful worthy king was he Whose noble workes in Cambrydge you may se And eke in Westminster both suÌ„ptuouse costlie As the good tree by the fruite is euer tryed So are good men by their workes espied Thus noble kynges in olde time were content To builde Abbeyes and to endue theÌ„ with rent There to remaine while y e world should endure Prayer almose and fastyng they ordeined there to be And in indifferente of good hospitalitie That the penylesse man of meate may be sure And though he there taried dayes two or thre No man would demaund from whence came he O cursed Germany woo be vnto the That first nowe began to skowre the old heresie Of the Caphernites and Arians with other diuerse mo With the was harbored the cursed Luther Decolampadius Melancton and Bullingere Carolstadious Stalbrydge and wicked Otho Marke to what ende their learning is come By warre and sedition their Realme vndone These cursed men and wicked teachers Where cleane contrarie to gods holy preachers that taught false libertie deuout vertue to hide Downe with the churche y e Masse the grayle Prayer and fasting naught doth preuayle That thing y t was good they myght not abide That good men of olde study to maynetayne Nowe Antichristes preachers hathe destroyed agayne Then Cupido and Venus in England beganne As gods for to gouerne bothe woman and man And auarice was ordeyned then puruior to be Their lust and their will to supporte vpholde With aboundaunce of treasure of siluer golde Tyll weale and welth was turned to pouertie Then be thought treason some rule to beare Which sodenlie was caught and takeÌ„ in a snare Yet chansed in England as I shall you tell Nowe kyng Edbaldus from the sayth fell And gaue his beleue to false maumentry Milletus the byssshoppe then to flee was fayne Tyll the kynge vnto Christ was turned agayne Which theÌ„ was restored to his see in CaÌ„terbury The citezins of London would not in no wise Leaue their infidelitie and to Christ agayne rise Helias made prayer to God agaynst Israell Which slewe their prophetes their aultares downe fell And I am lefte alone and they my life seke God aunswered and sayd there be yet left some That by the adoption of grace to heauen shall come With me to dwell and my seruauntes meke Thoughe some haue their faith by folye defiled Yet some remayne constant and neuer chauÌ„ged This storie doth resemble y e people in these daies That grinne at the ministers against y e aultare sayes Vtteryng out lyes couered with Ipocrisie Yet some men did espye their deuillishe intent And woulde in no wyse therevnto consent Perceauing it was newe skowered heresie Euen for the heresies y t many hath bene burned Fooles hath beleued and there vnto turned All the olde heresies that heretofore were Were put in vse by Iohn Wyckeleffe here And were confuted by William Wylford He was a famous clarke an english man borne Whose workes containe those heresies eche one Which he dyd confute as the bokes recorde Hony and poyson of swete floures are sucked So truth and falshode on scripture is gathered Some men there be that wil not beleue No writing or storie except scripture it proue As thoughe al were false but the wryting there The succession of kynges and eke lordes by hest The scripture dothe not tell of ciuill warre or conquest Yet are they true and in wryting do appeare If you wil not beleue but what scripture sayeth Then chaunge not the truth to peruerse waies The Phariseis doubted Christ gods soÌ„ne to be Desiringe from heauen some wonderouse to see By the proue thereof y e truth they might know Euen so our Perselites doth as fondlye denye The bread to be gods bodie by his word verely Vnlesse they see bloude in their tethe when they chowe O you vipers byrdes and adulterous nation Your dulnesse of faith hasteth faste your damnation Reade out the stories and marke to what ende To the church destroyers god dyd ofte sende The bibell in diuerse places doth well testifie What myserye and myschiefe hath bene in this lande What penurie and plages haue we here founde Synce we began fyrst the churche to destroye That plage neuer in no Realme hath bene But we in these dayes hath it felte or sene Yet is but in vayne herein to enterdyte What care theÌ„ befel y t at the church had despite Wittenesseth well Cromwell as you wel know Duddely the stoute with his felowes Aye Their parte on the skaffolde full well did playe That then were on hye and nowe are full lowe These men are to vs example and warning To serue our lorde God and obeye the Kynge To saye all Amen and to geue God the glorye We her subyectes are bound for the state of her maiestie For surely she is Gods chosen vessell Lyke to our Quene â–ª we may not well compare Neither y e wydowe Iudith or yet quene hester Whose worthy factes the bybel dothe tell To eche of this women God shewed ones his mercy As he hathe diuerse times to our Quene Mari Iudyth with wyne eke with fayre promise Holofernes ouercame slewe him in his dronknesse Wherby she y e citie of Bethulia hath preserued But Mary our Quene by prayer deuoute Ouercame her enemies beinge neuer so stoute Withoute fayre promyse or any gifte profered God right wel heard her chast humble praier That sodenly stroke her enemies caused theÌ„ retier Hester made her prayers for the Iewes onlye Which a man wente about by enuy to destroye Whose prayer god heard the Iues deliuered But Mary our Quene prayed in generallye That no bloude myght be shedde of her frende or enemy God heard her praier and the matter so ended A wonderfull myracle euer to be remembred That God wrought for our Quene he euer be praysed The fayth of Christ and all trewe religion Wyth prayer and fasting and eke good deuotioÌ„ Was almoste gone oute of euery mans harte The Churche the aulter Gods sacred bodye They robbed spoiled and their faith did denie Lyke desperate wretches thus played they their parte All was forlorne tyll good Quene Mary Restored them agayne to gods honor glorye The sacrameÌ„tes of y e churche was new to begin Adulterie sacrilege was counted for no sinne Nor y â— selling of oâ—fices to mayntayne briberye The belles they plucked downe by subtil pretence To coyne therof testers grotes and eke pence Thus al came to nought til good quene Mary Began for to raygne as we ryght well se That Iesus preserue her graces maiestie The churche Goddes spouse was brought vnder trybute With lawes vniust and paymentes greate The churche the coÌ„mons was greued yerely The catholyke fathers y t are good men in dede Wrongfully were oppressed and euill placed in their stede That vsurpplie did rule til good quene Marie Deposed the prowde the good men in chayne She iustely vnlosed and restored agayne The noble lyon that of colour is whyte Gyltelesse they helde captyue by enuy spyte Their purpose to coÌ„passe they thought it so best For this they wel knew that if he were at large he wold sone haue teÌ„pered their madnes rage Brynging the vprorers agayne some to rest O Englande reioyce at our good quene Mary That iustely hathe losed the lion not gylty Let vs al praie God bothe more and lesse that hath sent vs a quene our thralles to relesse Wher w t we were captyue bothe in soule body We may be right glad y e god hath now chauÌ„ged A lambe for wolues y e vnsatiably deuoured The realme the coÌ„mons wtout pitie or mercye God saue and preserue our noble Quene Mari Ouer vs longe to raygne let vs al pray hartlie God saue the Quene Prayse be to god that a noble quene hath sent Ouer vs for to raygne if we canne be content That wel hath begonne to call thinges agayne The which were before by falsehead subuerted Agayne to Gods glorie she hath them coÌ„uerted Amonge vs Christians euer to remayne Sithe we were before deceaued with heresie Let vs nowe be faythful geue God the glorie AMEN Coelum terra transibunt uerba autem mea non praeteribunt ¶ Excusum Londini in aedibus lohannis Cawodi Typographi Regiae Maiestatis The first letter of euery of these
