They must all learne to treade the way of al earthes Yea Madams thinke it to be so as I say Red earth black earth and white earth must go Dauids way Yea verely rosiall coulers and cri●…nson chéekes must go Dauids way must go the way of all earthes Thinke vpon your death and vpon the next life for ye must dye ye must dye there is no remedy Dauid and Iob prayed God to remember them because they were earth and ashes God him selfe doth pray and warne this forgetfull world to remember thē selues that they are earth and ashes It is sayd remember thy last end and thou shalt not sinne euerlastingly But I warne men to remember theyr beginning and they shall not sinne euerlastingly For then they shall be burthened with the remembraunce of the basenesse and badnes of their metall they shal be burthened with the remembraunce of the misery in their base and badde mettall and so be driuen for reliefe to Christ the refresher and all that come vnto him he will not cast them out And thus much vpon that poynt who was naked Now let me say a while what it is to be naked It is as I sayd to be without weapon to be without wéede So was Adam in his first state so was Adam in his best state And here the Anabaptistes a people full of frensie and furor would be glad to helpe them selues in their fancie that no man ought to weare weapon because that Adam in state of iunocencie wore not weapon And besides that that they haue this argument lest they should seme to be empty handed they alledge further reasons of this probation as thus out of Esay Mine is the vengeance I will require them Agayne out of the sayd Esay that Christes kingdom is like y waters of Shiloah which wa ters do run quietly and with out hurly burly Againe out of Michah that speres shall be turned into shares and swordes into mattockes Agayne out of our Sauiour Christ If any man geue thee a blow on the right side turne thou the left side Agayne He that smyteth with the sworde must perish with the sword Agayne Let not the cockle be pulled out till the haruest time Agayne out of S. Paul our weapons are spiritual weapons But ye shall haue answer to these argumentes out of Augustine to Marsellinus in the fifth epistle and to Faustus Manichaeus in the 22 ▪ booke and in Chrysostome vpō these wordes do not resist the euill For I can not now my selfe stand vpon them and these reasoners them selues are so vnreasonable and so voyde of all credit that to name them and their arguments is to discredit them and their argumentes And in déede it is easy to proue the contrary doctrine to theyrs For Ecclesiastes sayth Tempus belli tempus pacis A time of warre and a time of peace Dauid sayth in the 144. Psalme Blessed is God which teacheth my handes to fight and my fingers to battayle Dauids fingers were fighting fingers yet Dauids fingers were holy fingers In the booke of Kinges Dauid sayth to Saul thou fightest the Lordes battayles And Abigail sayth to Dauid thou fightest the Lordes battayles If some warres be Gods warres then all warres are not forbidden The Baptist doth seeme to allow of souldiers for he geueth them rules of life as that they should smite no man and that they should be content with theyr owne wages Paul would haue him selfe led to Cesaria by strength of souldiers Our Sauiour doth say Geue vnto Caeser that which is Caesers That which was geuen to Caeser was tribute geuen to finde souldiers as Augustine doth often say Now reasons why there should be weapons there be many But this is the speciall reason which the Cantons where euery man weareth a weapon alledge for theyr so doing that the magistrate and countrey may be assisted and defended And if it be so that euery man do weare weapon and ought to weare weapon for the magistrate and ought not onely to weare it but also to draw it at the magistrates voyce and to do as it is said in the 3. booke and 4. chap. of Esdras If the the king alone say do kil they do kill If he say do forgeue they do forgeue If he say smite they do smite If he say banish they do banish If he say cut vp they do cut vp I say if the people ought thus to doo for the prince and magistrate to draw theyr weapon in his cause and to lay downe their life at his foote how much more ought the magistrate for his owne cause and for all their causes to beare weapon not to beare it in vayne but to purpose For some one stroke at some one time to some one person from the princes hand doth let many thousandes of vuff●…ts and blose which otherwise must be dealt els where beare them of who can But they will tel me which they tell the prince commonly that she hath a goodly amiable name for mildnesse and that now to draw the sword in this sort were the losse of that commondation It is to be hoped that notwithstanding the loue and delight in names and titles that the prince will doo no more then that which by Gods word she can and to the health of her selfe and her countrey she may These great merueilers at mildnesse must remember that mildnes to some is oft times vnmildnes and crueltie to many other And I dare warrant the prince this before God and man that it is both good policie and good diuinitie to punish Gods enemies and her enemies and that her maiestie punishing euen to the vttermost Gods enemies shall neuerthelesse by Gods word reteine the name of a mild and mercifull prince She may be iust seuere and yet she may be mercifull and mild this is it that I will defende It is good policy to punish them as I thinke Vlisses in whom the poetes did fayne to be a whole form●… of policy when Troy was taken and Andromaca mother to Astianax was a great suter that the boys should not be cast downe headlong from the turrettes top that he should not be put to death of truth woman sayd he thy teares do moue me much but yet the teares of al my country women ought to moue me more to whom this boye in time may bring much indamagement In this saying is two argumentes the one the teares of moe ought to moue more the other the teares of countrifolkes then of foriners of true subiectes then of false rebelles Thus thought Vlisses thus thought wise Vlisses It is to be thought that now to her maiesty there wil be mourning moning for husbādes and sonnes for kinsmen and frendes mens eyes will be moysted with teares and wemens chéekes will be bedewed but the prince shall doo well to remember that Vlisses sayd The teares of moe ought to moue more and a greater regard ought to be had to the teares of those

Augustines mother in religion Augustine writeth in the Psalme that the kingdome of ignoraunce is the kingdome of errour Other men may coniecture more But these two causes I thinke to be the speciall two causes why that the world liuing as it were in a warre of ignorance doth call such so much euill peace The one cause is the vulgar translation of the Bible the other the worshipping of God in a straunge toung Touching the vulgar translation that is the matrix and conceptorie place of very errour and ignoraunce Hence Dunce hence Dorbell hence Houlcotte Briccot Tappar Cappar Ecchius Pighius Coclaeus and Hofmiester haue founded and finde out many a fonde argumēt Hence wrangle the Iesuites hence wrastle the Sorbonistes hence the horne of Rome is most loftilie exalted This is thrust vpon the world by the Inquisitors of Spaine dubbed onely good and authenticall by the Councell of Trent and who soeuer will not receaue this he standeth accursed frō the face of the sayd Councell with the fearce thunderbolt of Anathemysation Besides that this translation taketh away and addeth to the text moe then many hundreds of wordes There is no leafe throughout the whole Testament but it hath in this translation some great and greuous errour Whereas the Hebrue translation sayth Melchisedec protulit ●…anē And so sayth Ambrose he brought forth bread Iosephus sayth he ministred bread The vulgar translation sayth He offred vp bread And hereupon they would deuise their Masse offertorie The Hebrue translation sayth Osculemini filium Kisse the sonne The vulgar translation sayth Apprehendite disciplinam Take ye discipline The Hebrue translation sayth Filij hominum vsque quo gloriā meam in ignominiā Sonnes of men how long shall my glory be turned into reproch The vulgar translation sayth Sonnes of men how long will ye be of an heauie hart The Hebrue translation doth say The kinges of hostes are fled are fled the she dwellers in the houses haue deuided the spoyles The vulgar translation sayth The kings of vertues of the beloued of the beloued c.
