doo the same things which the firste hath done Therefore let all good men labour all that they can to plucke vp these wicked weedes of Poperie the remmenauntes of superstition and Idolatrie For Christes garden can neuer bee purged cleane inough from such poyson For if anie little twiste of Antichristes inuentions bee lefte the bodie will growe afterwarde It did so creepe vp at the beginning like a little Iuie stalke eating out the hartes of the great Oakes Kings and Emperours and destroyed the Christian congregations We Christians are commaunded to absteyne from al shewe of euil and we are straitlie charged to haue no parte with the whore of Babylon neither to haue anie fellowshippe with the fruitlesse workes of darknesse but to reprooue them And if they will not do so which will be counted the Pastours the Doctours and leaders of the flocke God can and will rayse vp others to pitie his cause and to purge his Temple as he hath done many times heretofore For in the cleare light of the Gospell God will haue Bishoppes or Ministers that shalbe discerned from the people by doctrine and conuersation and not by garmentes of straunge fashion The people are nowe to be instructed and no longer with ragges to be mocked Neither must a Priest of clowtes any longer be set before their eyes but the messengers of God must be sought to powre Gods worde into their harts the course wherof whosoeuer stoppeth or hindereth hee shall beare his iudgement what soeuer he be Playe you therefore the parte of Cornelius as you haue done heretofore Call your seruauntes and souldiours to the knowledge of Christes Gospel Chearishe the true Preachers of whome this worlde is vnworthie and though they should be murdered as they are nowe robbed and imprisoned yet let vs with honor burie their bodies as Ioseph did their Maisters From LONDON The x of May 1566. Miles your olde Seruaunt A pleasaunt Dialogue conteining a large discourse betweene a Souldier of Barwick and an English Chaplain who of a late souldier was made a Parson and had gotten a pluralitie of Benefices and yet had but one eye and no learning but he was priestly apparailed in al points and stoutely maintained his popish attire by the authoritie of a booke lately written against London Ministers This Dialogue was written almost seuen yeares ago but because there was hope of reformation soone after therefore was it of charitie by the writer suppressed But now that no hope remayneth it is thought good that the follie of the persecutors bee made knowne vnto all that will see it or read it The Speakers Miles Monopodios the Souldior lame of one foote Sir Bernarde Blynkarde a formall Priest and a Lords Chaplaine Miles WHat Bernard mine olde companion Well met I skarce knew thee thou art so disguised and chaunged Thou didst iette vp and downe so solemnely in the Churche and so like an olde popishe Prelate that a great while I doubted of thee what man art thou so strange hast thou forgotten me Thou haste a good marke whereby I must needes know thee and if I had not bin thou shouldest haue had none eye this daye to see withall Bern. Yes Miles I knewe thee and remember that thou wast euer an honest fellow towardes me and thou sauedst my life then I confesse Mil. But Bernarde I pray thee tell mee of thine honestie what was the cause that thou haste bin in so many chaunges of Apparell this forenoone nowe blacke nowe white now in silke and golde and nowe at the length in this swouping blacke gowne and this sarcenet flaunting tippet wearing moe hornes also vpon thy heade than euer did thy father vnlesse he were a man of the same order I pray thee of good fellowship tell me how thou art come to this chaunge since thou leftest our companie for surelie I haue gotten nothing by my long seruice but stripes and woundes and nowe I must needes leaue of this trade because I want my legges and ashamed I am to begge I would therefore verie fayne enter into this thy glorious trade wherein thou art so well trimmed and apparailed if I might doe it safelie Belike thou wantest none other thing for one quarter of thy gowne woulde make me a coate and a sleeue of thy surples would make me a shirt There must needes be plentie where there is so great superfluitie And I that haue liued in scarsitie in perill and labour all my life long would nowe in my old age finde some ease and safetie as for our learninges they are both like thou knowest vnlesse of late thou hast bin at some Vniuersitie Bern. No I haue bin at no Vniuersitie but in my Lordes house a yeare only and I know that thou hast more learning then I. But I must admonish thee of two thinges the one touching me the other thee in thy talke thou must vse me more reuerently and tye a Sir by your girdle whē you speake to me Mil. What in the weinyard are you entred into the order of Knighthoode you were of late in the order of the foure and twentie amongst the number of other good fellowes Bern. You may not thus ieast with me I am with in the holy orders of Priesthood Mil. Is it euen so Sir Then will I pose you Of what order I pray you of the order of Aaron or of Melchisedecke or of the Popish order There was but one after the order of Melchizedeck and the other ceased at Christ his comming so that it were a deniall of Christ to renew that order Therfore I suppose you are of the thirde euen of the Popish order and so me thought by your attire Bern. Nay I would thou knewest it I defie the Pope I am none of his order I know not what he is whether a man a woman or a beast No nor I care not for I had none orders at his hande Therefore I am no popish Priest if thou list to take it so Mil. Why sir where the Deuill then gate you your orders hauing so small learning Bern. Where Of my Metropolitane my Lord of Caūturburies good grace God saue his grace for he helpeth many such as I am forth of the brieres with his licences and dispensations Mil. God sende him better grace and pardon him of his manifolde sinnes that promoteth you and such companions to this state Bern. Why man thou knowest not what a state this is for though hee finde vs neuer so very dolts yet can he and the other Bishops by the laying on of their handes giue vs the holy Ghost for so sayde they to me and my fellowes Holde take the holy Ghost So that I am no more of the lewde laitie but of the holy spiritualtie and I haue gotten a good Benefice or twaine and am called maister Parson and may spend with the best man in our towne and doe keepe company with Gentlemen of the countrey in hauking hunting dicing carding and take my pleasure all the day long so that

suche as are well instructed in Christ Iesus alreadie And the Lorde our GOD without them and their trashe can furnish his Churche whiche is his owne house and familie if wee coulde turne to him vnfeignedlie by Godlie prayer as oure Sauiour Christe teacheth That we should praye the Lorde of the Vyneyearde to thrust forth labourers into his Vineyeard Whiche hee graunte of his great mercies and turne their hartes or staye theyr enterprises that striue agaynst Gods businesse eyther of malice or of ignoraunce AMEN AMEN But nowe fellowe Bernarde that thou mayest know that the London Ministers and other their Brethren in the Countrie haue iuste cause to speake and preache as they doe againste the Popishe trashe that yet remayneth here mayest thou reade in this Table following moe than an hundred poyntes of Poperie vnreformed in Englande So that poperie hauinge yet so manie sprowtes and braunches amongst vs will surelie spreade agayne if these and such like faythefull Ministers bee put to silence They were godlie men and are so coūted nowe after their deathe that heawed downe the great trees of Poperie And shall these bee iudged euill men that would digge vp the rootes and sprowtes of Poperie to cause it neuer to growe agayne if it be possible It is not onelie for the Cappe the Surplesse that they contend but agaynste all these poyntes of Poperie wherevnto they are vrged to subscribe by generall tearmes So that the Gospell shoulde bee tyed by their Subscriptions to spreade no further neyther for the reformation of the Ministerie nor for the recouering of true Discipline nor for the abolishing of such wicked superstitions as these be which do followe ¶ An hundred pointes of Poperie yet remayning which deforme the Englishe reformation 1 FIrste the Popishe names and offices The Archebishop or Primate of Englande whose office stādeth not so much in preaching as in graunting of Licenses and Dispensations according to the common lawe c. 2 Secōdlie that he is called Lords grace or Gratious Lorde contrarie to the commaūdement of Christ Luc. 22. 25. 3 Thirdlie that the other Bishoppes are called Lords haue dominatiō and exercise authoritie ouer their Brethren contrarie to the commaundement of our Sauiour Christ Mat. 20. 25. 1.
