our cōtrouersie telling that he marked howe I vsed mine aduersarie reuerentlie and was no worse vsed by him But sayde to the matter Our D. hath turned all against you all of all degrees Then sayde I Your selfe shall turne to me against them presently if you will speake your conscience God forbid quoth he that I should striue against the light Then I Marke the narration whence my demaunde shall arise Daniel prayeth at three a clocke or Euening offering the nineth houre by Iewes Act. 4. when Gabriel fleeth to him and promiseth to teach him wisedome and sayth Seauentie seauens of yeares are pared out to bring in Eternall redemption Herevpon followeth my demaunde Speake before God and his Angels whence must the beginning be taken Doubtles sayeth he from Daniels prayer And where endeth it Doubtles at our Lordes death Then saide I Commende me to your D. and tell him from me that when he hath weyghed all he will iudge that hee may as well denie all Religion as make any other limites Vpon his speach the learned man sayth in his lecture booke That by all argumentes of Scripture the time should begin from the first of Darius or Cyrus as I taught and Septuaginta septimanis cōpletis excisus est Christus So your Lordship seeth that he graunteth my assumption and the whole controuersie My Lords Grace hath seene his wordes in print and may not pleade ignorance Nowe the D. consydering what an infinite cōpanie of bookes he should condemne all the West for two thousand yeares recordes and not seeing the millions of Iewes and all Heathen in particulars to be with me all the Bibles frame sought a kinde of cure and sayde Restat confirmandum per septuaginta septimanas non posse intelligi annos quadringentos nonaginta sed alium aliquem numerum incertum per certum Vpon this commeth a third sequell which I was to fall into by the prouocation of D. R. his deniall A chayning of yeares is from Adam to Cyrus which sheweth that thence it must be propre as no wise goldsmith beginneth a chaine but to make it vp and breaking off in any one place disannulleth the vse of all Then saide he The time is not chayned thither from Adams fall to Babels Vpon that I wrote a booke prouing this proposition He that denieth the Scripture to haue a certen recorde of times from the creation to the redemption may as well denie that the sunne hath brightnes And that booke I sent vnto his Grace which he sawe and sent me great thankes with a promise that what so euer his worde could further me I should haue it Nowe your Lordship knoweth that duetie required him to determine whether I was deceyued or not and to haue taught me better if I had bene deceyued And his Grace knoweth that I stande resolute to defende this that if he saye it is erroneous in an Epistle to the Queene he sawe alreadie a sharpe replie In which Epistle I write these wordes If it please your Maiestie to cause both your Archbishops and both Vniuersities to determine I dare assure your Highnes that while the sunne shineth they will not denie seeing what profe is brought that God hath recorded the time certeinlie from the creation to the redemption Here had bene a place for his Grace to haue foyled me for euer if by learning hee could shewe that I was deceyued But he sawe that D.R. whom Oxford men thinke to be not his Graces inferiour further comparison I will relinquish would full quicklie haue tryed if learning could ouermatch the position set down Thus by the matter your Lordship seeth what his Grace must buckle with And whether he forgate his determination or three commenders of his learned censure honorable speaches towards me mistoke him that little forceth for the Queene to knowe neyther is it trauersable or matteriall for our state This must be holdē the substāce of the matter whether if his Grace deny that God hath recorded in scripture the worldes age from the creation to the redemption I may iustly accuse him for concluding against Christ his Religion For euery mans hart can tell it is good that the recorde were in scripture And seeing nothing is omitted in the perfect booke which is good to be there his Grace should think that there it was though he can not tell where And although it is made easie nowe to see and soone learned yet to cleare euery parcell it was not an easie matter And I knowe a King to whom if I had dedicated such a trauel I should haue had thankes and so I should haue had of the Queene but that the L. Chauncelour and his Grace both disgraced the worke whiche neither vnderstoode Your Lordship promised me that you would cause his Grace to determine the controuersie betwixt D. R. and my selfe But I was sure that you would be deceyued Likewise my Lord Keeper hauing seene the marrowe of all that which cōcerneth the bones of this strife brought into an easie view and tast promised that he also would cause his Grace to determine And I knew that he should be no lesse deceyued The matter was brought past all colour of strife and cōfirmed for euery ioint by ancient vnbeleeuing Iewes testimonie which vnvincible trueth forced to affoord And nowe if it please your Lordships both to vrge his Grace to laye downe in writing the contradictorie to anie position of mine then if I make it not as easie for him to reackon all the tyles in Lambeth euery one as the erroures which will followe his Graces assertion your Lordshippes may affirme that I haue not dew regard of trueth and but small grace in study to marke sequelles and appendances in absurdities This kinde of speach his G. must warrant by a narration whiche may here be fitt M. Mulcaster who caryed the declaration of D.R. his cause and mine with a full anatomy of the matter returned to the right worshipful M. Peter Osborne this message how his G. had determined with what honorable speaches how he said that he knew my studies earnest then twentie yeares in a path vntroden since the Apostles time to cleare the narratiōs of scripture by time place person wherin he that crossed me once would be caught in a thousand absurdities They liue yet in the familie who heard him speake and doe all this well remēber Thus I thought good to defende his Graces censure euen against him selfe as in my Epistle to the Queene I wrote as fearing no replier That I refused not to abide al disgrace if my paynes were not found true for the story and profitable for the quietnes of the Realme And thus your Honour may see that I haue not written of his G. slaunderous nor of the trueth erroneous Neither did I commend him to countenance my cause by his authoritie in learning but to countenaunce her Maiesties high preferred scholler and to shew that I envied not his lot though he hath receyued fiftie thousande pounde more then one whom fiftie thousand thinke to haue honored the originall trueth more then he with bare latin studies could doe possiblie Your Lordships to commaund HVGH BROVGHTON
