Puritane noblemen gentlemen and people as with the ministers because this or the like course goeth not on forward And I can tell thee there would be gotten an hundreth thousand hands to this supplication of knowen men in the land all her Majesties most loyall and trustie louing subjects Thou mayest then well thinke what a stroke so many woulde strike together especiallie in so reasonable and just a suite And heereby our bishoppes shoulde be prooued to be Lord bishoppes in deede that is a A pretie briefe definition of a Lord bishop vngodlie and slaunderous lyars When her Majestie sawe that the Puritanes seeke not any intollerable course for if the foresaide petitions be not to be borne I know not what is sufferable as the bishops woulde pretend And further it should appeare that they are not a fewe and of small reputation but in a maner the strength of our land and the synowe of her Majesties royall gouernement which our bishops do falsely note with the names of Puritanes The consideration whereof I tell thee euen in policie woulde make that this their suite shoulde not be hastely rejected especially in such a time as wherein wee nowe liue in daunger of our ennemies abroad and therefore had neede of no causes of discouragement at home Whie man this were also such a course as it would descrie our bishops English to be plaine slaunder and treacherie against the trueth and the mainteiners thereof as indeede it is The bishops English wilt thou say Bishops English Now I pray you reuerend brother what is that Whie Iacke doest thou not vnderstand what our bishoppes English meaneth I doe not greatly maruell because I my selfe came but latelie vnto the knowledge of it aright But nowe that I haue bestowed a little studie that waie I doe thinke there are but a few in England that see into it as farre as I doe Semper excipio Platonem you know I alwayes gine place to my father for he made the first grammar and lexicon in our time for the vnderstanding hereof Thy small experience then considered I wonder not of thine ignorance in this poynt But to satisfie thy demaunde the bishops English is to wrest our language in such sorte as they will drawe a meaning out of our English wordes which the nature of the tougue can by no meanes beare As for example Receiue the Holy-Ghost I am sure that they woulde not for forty pence that Receiue a bishopricke shoulde be expounded vnto wish thou mayest receiue a bishopricke when they receiue the Holie-Ghost in good bishops English is as much as J pray God thou mayest receiue the Holy-ghost And againe My desire is that J may be baptized in this faith to their vnderstanding and in their dialect is after this sort My desire is not that J my selfe but that this childe vvherevnto J am a vvitnesse may bee baptized in this saith Further to intreate her Majestie and the Parliament that the miseries of the church may be redressed in the Prelates language is to seeke the ouerthrowe of the state and the disquietnesse of her subjects And if a man shoulde goe and aske thine vncle Canturburie but stay boy I meane not that thou shouldest goe and demaunde the question of him what it were in the tongue which he and his brethren doe commonly vse to put vp such a dutifull supplication as before I haue set downe why his answere woulde be presently that to deale in such a suire were to rebell against her Majestie to pull the crowne off of her head to make a faction to wrest the scepter out of her hand and to shake off all authoritie A wonderfull thing in thy conceit I knowe it will bee to thinke that humbly and duetifullie to entreate shoulde in the English tongue signifie by vnbrideled force vnduetifullie to compell and that to seeke the remoouing of vnlawefull callings out of the church should be to threaten that the lawfull magistrate should bee thrust out of the common-wealth but simple boy such English must thou studie to vnderstand or else thou shalt neuer be able to Pistle thine vncle Canturburie so learned lie as my father and I can doe And therefore I woulde wish that of the first money which thou meanest to bestowe in bookes thou wouldest buie thee thy fathers a These bookes act not yet printed Grammar and his lexicon with a briefe thing called his capita concerdantiarum and studie these well but one moneth and out o doubt thou shalt with the pretie skill which thou hast already be able to ouerturne anie catercap of them all I would thou knewest what great light to the vnderstanding of all the bishops treacheries a little time bestowed in these volumes haue affoorded vnto me Wel by this time I thinke thou perceiuest what a braue waie this supplication which I speake of were to prooue our bishops to be treacherous and vile slaunderers For hereby her Majestie should perceiue that the rumors which the bishops raise falsly concerning the great daunger that woulde ensue vnto her crowne by the reformation which the Puritanes seeke and labor for are nothing els but in a cunning and mysticall kind of vnnaturall English to translate The Puritanes by the establishing of the kingdome of Christ seeke the sure vpholding of the crovvne and dignitie of their dread soueraigne ladie Elizabeth into this handsome bishoplike miter The Puritanes by their platforme of reformation seeke the vtter ruine and subuersion of Ladie Elizabeth her Crovvne and d●gnitie I am sure her Majestie woulde welfauouredlie laugh at such a translation as this is and yet beholde such she must be content with if shee will vouchsafe to yeelde her eares vnto a bishops perswasion Yet thus much must I say of them namelie that although they bee not the best expounders of wordes that euer I read yet doe they neuer translate anie thing everbo ad verbum which by learned men is commended as an especial vertue in a translator But O that I as simple as I am might reade a lecture or twoo concerning this bishoplike translation if not before her Majestie yet at the least before some of her nobles I woulde not doubt but to vnfolde such a deale of strange English and yet the verie vernacula viz. the naturall mother tongue of our vnnaturall Prelates as was neuer heard of in this land since the Saxons time Here I knowe that thou arte readie to enquire two points of mee for thine instruction the one how our Prelates can be prooued Antichristes by the church of England the other howe thou mayest come by those bookes of my father before quoted Well thus I will brieflie aunsweare thee in both For the first Maister Tindall in the Preface of his booke called The Obedience of a Christian man pag. 102. prooueth them to bee Antichristes in as much as in their doctrine and their dooings concerning nonresidencie they are directlie against Christ and his worde I charge thee reade the place because

The iust censure and reproofe of Martin Iunior Wherein the rash and vndiscreete headines of the foolish youth is sharply mette with and the boy hath his lesson taught him I warrant you by his reuerend and elder brother Martin Senior sonne and heire vnto the renowmed Martin Mar-prelate he Great Where also least the springall shold be vtterly discouraged in his good meaning you shall finde that hee is not bereaued of his due commendations The reproofe of Martin Iunior by his elder brother WHo then And boyes will now be a Pistle-making either without their fathers leaue or their elder brothers aduise we shall haue our fathers Art brought to a prettie passe within a while I could a told t is long agoe that my father would get him so many sons as Iohn Canturbury woulde haue no cause to sitte quiet at dinner or supper for looking to his young nephewes I thought boyes would be a doing But foolish stripling canst thou tell what thou hast done I weene not if my father should be hurt either at the Groine or at the suburbes of Lisbone is this the way either to cure him or to comforte him to publishe his scrabled and weather-beaten papers in this forte What if hee hadde in purpose to write no more seeing the daunger and trouble that comes of it Will this be any meanes to worke the olde mans quietnes for a foolish and a headie springal to go set abroad his papers Thou sawest wel enough that Martins doings were now almost forgot huisht And the a Beare witnes Reader that I giue my Lordes their right titles men of sinne themselues I meane the Canturburie Caiphas with the rest of his Antichristian beasts who beare his abominable marke were content in a maner to turne his purposes from a serious matter to a point of jesting wherewith they would haue onely rimers and stage-players that is plaine rogues as thou hast well noted to deale So that had not thy vntimely folly bewrayed it selfe it may be that the syllogismes whereby our father hath crackt the crowne of Canturbury should haue had no other answere or he himselfe none other punishment but this I faith lette him go Martin is a madde knaue Whereas now vppon this scrabbling and paltring of thine marke whether Iohn Canturburie will not sende for all the knaue pursuvants that belongs vnto his popedome and set them a worke with the confutation of Martin vsing some such speach as this is in the direction of them for the choice of their Arguments against him An Oration of Iohn Can turburie to the pursuvants when he directeth his warrants vnto them to post after Martin Now sirs is not her Majesties high commission and my selfe also being the chiefe thereof and one of her Majesties priuie counsell wel set vp with a company of messengers as long as we haue you to goe of our busines What thinke you Haue you beene carefull of vs and our places to sinde vs out the presse and letters wherewith these seditious Martins are printed Or haue you diligently soght mee out Walde-graue the Printer Newman the Cobler Sharpe the booke binder of Northampton and that seditious Welch man Penry who you shall see will prooue the Author of all these libelles I thanke you Maister Munday you are a good Gentleman of your worde Ah thou Iudar thou that hast alreadie betrayed the Papistes I thinke meanest to betray vs also Diddest thou not assure me without all doubt that thou wouldest bring mee in Penry Newman Walde-graue presse letters and all before Saint Andrewes day last And nowe thou seest we are as farre to seeke for them as euer we were Nay vnlesse we haue them now they are like to trouble a But not the church of Christ good vncle you doe not so greatly eare though they did our Churche more then euer they did For here is a yong Martin hatched out of some poysoned egge of that seditious libeller Old Martin Why truly it grieues me at the heart that I by her Maiesties fauor hauing more authoritie in mine hande to represse these Puritanes then any bishop else hath had in England these thirtie yeeres yet shoulde be more troubled and molested by them these sixe yeeres then all my predecessors haue beene these six and twentie yeeres And all this commeth by reason of your vnfaithfulnes and negligence whome wee send for them Well I giue you warning looke better vnto your offices or else let mee be damned body and soule b Neuer condition for the matter man for except thou repent thou arte sure of that alreadie if I turne you not all out of your places Therefore looke to it for nowe euery one of you shal haue warrants both for himselfe and as many as you will substitute vnder you besides Bring vs whomesoeuer you suspect your warrants shall serue you to doe it And if you can sinde vs eyther young or olde Martin Penry or Walde-graue so that you bring the presse and letters hee shall haue fortie poundes for his labour who so euer will bring them his charges and all bonie cleare But if you bring vs neither Martin the presse nor those aforenamed neuer looke vs in the face more And me thinkes for your owne good you shoulde be carefull to get in these seditious men for if we that are Lordes of the Cleargie go downe once then shall you be sure to fall for poore men you haue nothing but what you get in c And you haue nothing neither your selues but what you get in the seruice of your Lorde and Master the diuel our seruice that are your Lordes and Maisters And me thinkes if these wayward men had anie conscience in them they woulde not seeke our ouerthrowe with tooth and naile as they doe seoing so many honest poore men yea and manie a good Gentleman too by my troth liue onely by vs and our places Well if euer you meane to do anie good in this matter take mee this course which wee here in commission haue thought meetest let a six or seuen of you or your substitutes that stay heere in London watch mee Paules Churchyard especially haue an eie to Boyles shop at the Rose And let some one or two of you that are vnknowen goe in thither and if there be any strāgers in the shop fall in talke with them of Martin commend him and especially his sonnes last libell and heere hee that will take that course take me this that if need be you may shew it shewing that by great friendshippe you gote one of them saying also that you vnderstoode a man might there helpe his friend to some if he were acquainted with Master Boyle and offer largely for it Now sir if any shall either enter with you vnto any speches against the state and in defence of these libelles or else if any can procure you to the sight of the bookes be sure to bring them before vs. Though you learne not their names yet
