shamefull massacre and slaughter extreamly raging in Paris and euery where else in Fraunce in the yeare 1572. she reached forth a gratious and helpefull hand for the reliefe of the most afflicted state of many godly persons and amongst others shee receiued and entertained that most religious and worthy teacher maister Daniel Tossanus together with his wife and children and chearfully patronized and defended him in the time of extreame danger Now if wee behold and consider the reformation of the English Churches here commeth to my mind and as a most beautifull and comfortable Starre shineth Edward the sixt the most gratious King of England who being inkindled with an heroicall Spirit and zeale desired those Churches to bee throughly cleansed from Popish Idolatry After also his sister Queene Elizabeth followed his pietie and most religious example both with like affection and successe What did not also Iames Hamelton Viceroy in Scotland first permit and make free to euery one that would the reading of the Bible in the English tongue and the order of prayer By which worthy act the true Christian Religion straightwaies tooke so great increase as that the States in Parliament prouided by publicke lawe in the yeare 1561 that all the people should liue quietly and in peace without reuiling or iniurying one another for any pretence or excuse of Religion Moreouer this is also manifest by certaine proofes that these three Emperours Charles the fift Ferdinando and Maximillian departed out of this life resting vpon the same comfort and faith which Luther taking out of the Scriptures preached and published in that hee shewed and taught that all the hope of euerlasting life consisteth in the death of Christ After these notable personages of the ciuill state let vs now come also and remember the teachers of the Church wherein we may consider that after the Apostles time God raised vp almost in a continuall succession most worthy teachers such as these were Ignatius Policarpus Iustinus Martyr Clement of Alexandria Athenagoras Origen Cyprian Tertullian Athanasius Epiphanius Hilarius Basil Gregory of Nazianzene Ierome Augustine Ambrose Chrysostome and many others by whose worthy seruice labour the worke of the Reformation of the world begun by the Apostles was happily and with great successe proceeded in and furthered And euen so to those first goodly and glorious lights of the Church in Doctrine and Diuinitie Luther Melanchton ZWinglius and Oecolampadius God added adioyned other teachers that were men famous for their pietie and learning who receiuing the Gospell from the former as a lampe and a light deliuered vnto them the fowlest errors of Popery hauing beene discouered haue brought with them a clearer and greater light of vnderstanding and knowledge of the bookes of the Bible In Helvetia and Switzerland who is ignorant that there haue beene many who partly by preaching and partly by writing haue serued the Church with great diligence and profit Amongst whom these men are worthy of immortall praise Henry Bullinger Rodolph Gualter Oswald Myconias Conrade Pellicane Berthall Haller Gasper Megander Leo Iuda Benedict Aretius Iohn Wolfe Lewis Lauater Iosias Simler Bibliander William Stuckius Doe we demaund what teachers they haue had in high Germany Surely in that countrey there hath beene great plenty of notable teachers Such as were these Ambrose Blawrer Iohn Swickius Martin Bucer Malthias Tellius Wolfangus Capito Caspar Hedio Andrew Osiander of Hala in Swevia Erardus Schnepfius and Maâ—tin Frechtius at Tubinga Ambrose Mollerus and Iohn Hesse at Wratislavia or Bresla Conrade Somius at Vlms Wolfangus Musculns at Augusta or Ausborow Francis Lambert Andrew Hâ—perias Iohn Pincer Denis Melander in Hassia and in Wittemberg Iasper Cruciger both the father and the sonne Georg Maior Iohn Bugenhagius Paul Eber Iohn Foster Iohn Auenar Henry Moller Frederick Widebrame and Christopher Pezelius In Livonia or Lief-land there haue beene worthy Preachers as Andrew Cnophius and others and in Borusia Iohn Poliander and Iohn Brismana in the lower Saxonie Vrbanus Regius Hermane Browne and Albert Hardenbergius in Frisia Micronius Menso Altingus and diuers others And who is there amongst vs whom the remembrance of these famous men doeth not moue and effect with singular delight to wit of William Farell Peter Viret Iohn Caluin Austin Marlorate Theodore Beza Antony Sadeel and of Phillip Morâ—y of Plessay and others who partly by teaching and partly by writing haue mightily ouerthrowen Popery and aduanced the Gospell of Iesus Christ Neither hath this fauour of God beene wanting vnto Spaine For what men Spaine hath had teachers of the Euangelicall doctrine the same it hath also most glorious Martyrs to wit Frauncis Drianda Diazius Doctor Constantine Confessor to the Emperour Charles the fift Italy it selfe also hath sent vs ouer from thence most excellent Diuines to the very great benefite of our Churches Peter Martyr Ierom Zanchius Immanuell Tremellius These men also in Scotland haue left vs most ample and large fruites of their seruice for the Gospell Iohn Knoxe Robert Rollock Iohn Iohnston and diuers others But in England God hath set out as vpon a Theater and stage to be seene by all the world very many famous and learned men who haue stoutely defended and maintained the doctrine of the Gospell against the deceitfull impostures of the Antichrist of Rome And such were these Thomas Cranmer Arch bishop of Canterbury Hugh Latimer Iohn Hooper Nicholas Ridley Iohn Rogers Hugh Philpot Iohn Iuell Laurance Humphery with William Whitaker Iohn Rainolds William Perkins William Fulke and an infinite number of others whom it were too long to rehearse How should I bee silent of the land of Denmarke which hath had most famous Preachers of the Gospell to wit Palladius Hemingius Macabaeus c. The Hungarians also speake of Michael Starinus as of their glory who reformed many particular Churches in it and set Ministers of the word ouer them to whom hee himselfe prescribed what order was to bee held for the making of Sermons profitable and fruit full and in what maner the Sacraments were to be administred They will recite in like maner Steuen Szegeden Paul Thurius Iasper Charles Peter Melius Martin Hollopaeus Mathew Scaricaus Thomas Fabricius of Tholna and many others And that I may mention no more the Churches of Poland euen to this day not without a thankefull remembrance they speake of that worthy noble personage Iohn Alaskaw of the Earles of Gorkaw and the Lords Oselinians who in their time were a defence and an ornament to the doctrine of the Gospell So doe they likewise speake of those notable Diuines Erasmus Glisner Georg Israell Iohn Laurence Balthasar Euchner Iohn Turnorius and others who haue fruitfully deliuered the Gospell to the people 5 Now to extend the comparison begun yet further in the beginning God who is most and onely wise spread and propagated the Gospell by meanes which in appearance were directly contrary to the furtherance of it such as was the ouerthrow of Ierusalem and the dispersion of

Christs Disciples into diuers parts of the world And the same course hath God obserued euery wherein our time In the yeare 1522 that noble Gentleman Frauncis Sickingen had gathered so many worthy men into his Castle of Landscale as might seeme to haue beene sufficient to haue furnished some Vniuersitie and famous Schoole For at one and the same time hee had with him Iohn Oecolampadius Martin Bucer Iohn Schwebelius Iaspar Aquila Now no long time after when he was besieged by certaine Princes he left it to the pleasure of those Diuines to goe for their best safety and securitie where euery one of them would By which occasion of that siege of their dispersion Iohn Schwebelius going to the Count-Palatine Lewes Duke of Biâ—ont he laid there the first stone of the Euangelicall reformation Martin Bucer went to Strawsborowe which with what fruit and benifit of the Church he did it is manifest by the common voice and testimonie of all Germanie Iohn Oecolampadius tooke his iorney to Basile to which Citie he so made knowen and apparent his learning and pietie that he was invited and desired with most earnest request to take paines to read and preach vnto them Wherevnto after that he had yeelded in the space of a few yeares he so aduanced the cause of Religion that the said Citie greatly reioyced at the sight of a full reformation procured by him amongst them Iasper Aquila he went to Thuringia and there furthered the edification of the Church of Christ with great zeale and happy successe A like occasion almost about the same time fel out at Treptqaine a place in Pomerland which was this There florished a certaine Colledge that was famous by the learning of certaine men of which Colledge Iohn Bugenhagius was the Rector Now it fell out that Luthers booke of the Babylonicall captiuitie being sent from Lipsia were deliuered there to Bugenhagius to be read ouer who hauing slightly looked vpon it is reported to haue said to his fellowes bretheren the Sun did neuer see a greater Heriticke then Luther But after a few dayes looking more diligently and attentiuely into the said booke he chaunged his opinion and testimony of him openly before the same bretheren and said that all the world had bin drowâ—ed hitherto in most palpable errours Which he aâ—terwards set so clearely before them as that they all consented in iudgement with him Which after that the Bishop of Camintum came to the knowledge of by and by as the manner is he began fiercely to persecute them Wherefore they began all to fly and prouide for the safety of their life And Bugenhagius going to Wittenberg tooke an Ecclesiasticall charge and afterwards reformed the Churches of Hanborow and Lubeck and of all the Kingdome of Denmarke Andrew Cnophius went into Leif land and there brought the Cittie of Riga to acknowledge and to receaue the truth of the Gospell which at the beginning brake out into so great flames that straightwaies Darbetum and Reualia came thither as it were from the brightnesse of it to kindle their light The rest of them flying from Treptum bestowed themselues abroad in the towne of Pomerland and handled the cause of the Gospell so happily with so great successe as that by the authoritie and commaundement of Barnim and Philip Dukes of Pomerania the states of the land being assembled together in that towne by common councell and decree Popish abuses were banished out of all Pomerland Now let vs view France and namely Meaux in France there Bishop Bricomet with great earnestnes vndertooke to maintaine the cause of the Gospell And hauing called together thether very many learned men and amongst them Iohn Faber Stapulensis a man of eminent and great name he commanded them publickely to preach the true doctrine of the Gospell But after when the Bishop being terrified and put in feare fell away from true religion all the ministers also were compelled to forsake the countrye whereof some went into the Kingdome of Nauarre and some to Paris and althougth priuately and in secret places they instruct the people by their Sermons Many of them also in the Citie of Metz whither they had fled began the building of that goodly Church which euen to this day doth continue and flourishe Others also weÌ„t to other places of that Kingdome where they made Christ and the doctrine of the Gospell more famous And is there any man who herein may not acknowledge admire and publish the wisedome of God especially considering that he then sheweth forth his mightie power for the helpe and aduancement of his Church when we thinke it most of all abandoned and forsaken The like thing hapned also in Italy which for the profession of the Gospell banished many godly persons from Naples Luca Pisa and Locarne All which persecutions the wisedome of God directed to that ende that by the seruice of the same men which had beene banished from these places the building vp of the Churches in other countries might be excellently raised vp The same we know to haue beene done at Geneva Zarick London in England and in other places In like maner the small Caldian warre being finished the brethreen and professors which were driuen out of Bohemia and Morauia came to Pole-land where they who had beene refused by King Sigismond found a very gratious patron of Albert Duke of Borussia Yet some of these turning backe againe into Polonia were receiued by diuers noble men in Pole-land And what came of their returne In the space of eight yeares there was so much effected by their industry and labour as that Peter Vergerius hauing ben sometimes Bishop of Iustinopolis and the Popes legate in Germany by the writings of our men which hee had vndertaken to confute was brought to the acknowledging of the truth euen he confessed that hee found in Pole-land forty Churches established in good order by those brethren which they neuer thought would come to passe who had banished them with so great crueltâ—e Moreouer it cannot be denied but that the persecution in the Low-countries furnished the dominion of the Palatine Elector with many teachers and Preachers of the word adorned with all kinde of good learning and knowledge whose godly labours did greatly aduance the worke of reformation begun by Frederick the third Elector The like also fell out in this countrey For when as after the blessed decease of that most worthy pious and vertuous Prince some alteration in Religion had driuen and dispersed Ministers of the word into other places by these ministers in like manner the doctrine of the truth was propagated and spread into other places Furthermore by what meanes thinke we that the most famous Dukedome of Wirtenberg was brought to the acknowledging of the Gospell was it not when the Duke Huldrick himselfe was dispossessed and cast out of his Dukedome for whereas hee liued priuately with Phillip the Landgraue of Hassia and there heard the teachers of the sincere Religion preaching had
