Bernards discipline far from the contentions of Martin and Eutydimus he giueth lesse credit and authoritie to his own wit than to the least of all those that he findes to be men of more learning and iudgment then himselfe Martin cryes out as if he had already poysoned the springs head where the whole Realme shold fetch water Let the Court alone he saith he knowes what a wonderfull working the hope of gaine and of gold hath in that place yet Pasquill is resolued that her excellent Maiestie as hetherto she hath doone will continue still her princelie fauour to the Priuiledges of the Church of England and giue the blessing to it that Moses gaue to the Priest-hood of the Tribe of Leui and pray for thē First That the Vrim and Thummim may be among them wisedom and knowledge for the peoples good and that when they offer vnto the Lord The work of their hands may be accepted Next that God in his mercie would Blesse their substaunce and smyte theyr enemies quite through the loynes that they may neuer rise againe MAR.

Where is that PAS Tut I perceiue you know nothing At the signe of the siluer forke and the tosted cheese where the Painter to bewray both his abuse of the Scriptures his malice against the Church hath drawne him his word with a Text-pen Zelus domus tuae comedit me A speeche holy Dauid did vse when the zeale of the Church did eate vp the Court and a speeche now describing the spirit of Penrie that would faine turne the Church of the Lande to a tosted cheese that the zeale of the Court might eate vppe her MAR. You said in the ende of your Countercuffe that you would sende vs a Comentarie vpon Martin Iunior I forgot till now to aske you what is become of that PAS I fell that night into a traunce wherein mee thought I saw a very golden wit performe that matter with so keene a tooth and such a pleasant grace that I gaue ouer to him and farthered The liues of the Saints as much as my leysure would giue me leaue And credit me when I came to the life of the myncing Dame of Rochester with the golden locks whose conceipt was so quick that shee caught a childe whilst her husbande was from her as her clappe was so suddaine that no body knowes how it came or how it went for since she was deliuered passe repasse the childe was neuer heard of so my pen was as swyfte as the post-horse of the Towne I ran a great deale of ground in a litle time about her causes But who commeth yonder Marforius can you tell me MAR. By her gate and her Garland I knowe her well it is Vetus Comaedia She hath been so long in the Country that she is somewhat altred this is she that called in a counsell of Phisitians about Martin and found by the sharpnes of his humour when they had opened the vaine that feedes his head that hee would spit out his lunges within one yere And I promise you she prophecied very truly of him you may see by the Bookes that he set foth last that his strength is spent PAS I haue a tale to tell her in her eare of the slye practise that was vsed in restraining of her In the meane season Marforius I take my leaue of thee charging thee vpon all our old acquaintance and vppon my blessing to set vp this bill at London stone Let it be doone sollemnly with Drom and Trumpet and looke you aduance my collours on the top of the steeple right ouer against it that euery one of my Souldiers may keepe his quarter PASQVILS PROTESTATION VPPON LONDON STONE I Caualiero Pasquill the writer of this simple hand a young man of the age of some few hundred yeeres lately knighted in Englande with a beetle and a bucking tub to beat a little reason about Martins head doe make this my Protestation vnto the world that if any man woman or childe haue any thing to say against Martin the great or any of his abettors of what state or calling soeuer they be noble or ignoble from the very Court-gates to the Coblers stall if it please them these dark Winter-nights to sticke vppe their papers vppon London-stone I will there giue my attendance to receiue them from the day of the date heereof to the full terme and reuolution of seuen yeeres next ensuing Dated 20.

to be verified the Preachers of the faction like Puppets in a motion begin to snappe and to turne and to speake what and when and howsoeuer the people will at whose tables they are fed like Geese in the Capitol to gaggle at euery man that is against them Thirdly Beautie and Bandes the two staues that God vses like a Sheepheard to guide his people are knapt in sunder Beautie is burst for our order is turned into cōfusion Bandes are burst also for our vnitie is fallen into dissention The maine poste whereuppon the Bucklers the Armour the imaginarie Trophes of the faction is hanged vppe for the simple to gaze and wonder at is onely this The Church of England hath committed fornication with the Church of Rome and tript out her foote like a strumpet to euer deuise of mans braine that hath passed by her Heerein I see the Churches case is Susannaes case this accusation of incontinencie is framed against her by such as haue sought to be incontinent with her themselues Had Susanna prostituted her body to the Elders her credit had neuer beene called into Question by her accusers had the Church of England giuen vppe the keyes of her Coffers to bawdes boggers and Banckroupts the reuerend Elders of Martinisme had neuer put vppe any Billes of endightment against her the last Parliament But as the storie saith that Daniell was raysed by GOD to acquite her and conuince euery scatterer of false reports I thinke before I end Signor Pasquill of Englande wyll prooue the man that must sette a gagge in the mouth of Martin the great and cut vp an Anatomie of all his knauerie Me thought Vetus Comaedia beganne to pricke him at London in the right vaine when shee brought foorth Diuinitie wyth a scratcht face holding of her hart as if she were sicke because Martin would haue forced her but myssing of his purpose he left the print of his nayles vppon her cheekes and poysoned her with a vomit which he ministred vnto her to make her cast vppe her dignities and promotions Thys indeede is the marke that Martin shootes at whereby you may see that one cause of Martinisme is a collop that dropt out of Mydas nose a desire of Gold This is the roote of all the mischife by this many men are fast lockt in the deuils snares many soules are thrust through with many sorrowes Thys beeing the ground master Martin hath made his choise of when he castes his accounts and surueighes howe little witte and howe little might hee hath to goe thorough with his building like a furious beast wrapt in the cordes where hee cannot stirre after many a vayne plunge which he giues to breake away when he sees his labour lost transported with a rage he roares and he somes and sets himselfe downe in the Scorners Chayre Though Babies and fooles stagger and stande amazed to beholde their newe pranckes yet almost the meanest in Gods Schoole knowes it is no strange thing that the Church sholde be vexed with such enemies In the time of holy Dauid the King the Church was assaulted by a kinde of people whose mouthes were as Quiuors and theyr tongues as Shafts that did shoote very secretly at the best men Vnto this kinde of people holy men of God haue giuen sundry tytles and thereby as it were clapt many Brandes vppon theyr backes to make them knowne to be rotten Sheepe of the deuils foulde They are termed to be Bulles of Bashan Foxes Serpents Vipers Woolues Spyders Theeues Firie-ouens False-ioyes a great many names more of like honor they haue wonne in the fielde and borne away the prize in euery age A yeere would scarce suffer me to discouer them all at large Yet that I may touch at euery Coast which I haue descried they are called Bulles because they dosse out theyr hornes against the truth Foxes because theyr conspiracies and incontinencies theyr vnchaste and disordered life shewes them to be tied together by the tayles like Sampsons Foxes but their heads be loose they shake off theyr obedience to their natural Prince Serpents because they glide vpon theyr bellies No sin among some of them from the nauell downward Vipers to giue light and estimation vnto themselues they teare open the bowels of theyr owne Damme and liue by the death of her that bred them Woolues In outwarde appearaunce they are like to the dogge and make a shewe to the world they would keepe the Sheepe but all theyr desire is to kill the Sheepe Spyders because they sucke out theyr mallice from very good hearbes and spynne with great studie an vnprofitable webbe good for nothing but to catch Flyes Theeues they breake in by night into Gods house and would spoyle though it were with the bloode of the Saints Firic-ouens they haue a scorching breathe and when they are drawn they deliuer a batch for the deuils tooth And to wind vp their vertues in a word or two they are False-ioyes their substance is brittle and their Bookes be Glasse giue thē but a filop they run to a powder What grounde they haue gotten by their practises among the witlesse I neede not tell you seeing Martin Senior is so forward to tell you himselfe that he hath a hundred thousand in the Lande readie to lift vppe a new Presbitery with priuate hands Though I know that he lyeth loudlie yet it were not amisse Magna componere paruis and to looke to his fingers that he be not as readie when hee spyes his time to lift vp a newe Prince After GOD had once brought his Church out of Egipt by the hand of Moses there wanted neither Iebusite nor enemy a long time to flye in her face and to hinder her passage to the Land of promise And since God led his Church in this Land out of the bondage of Rome by the conduct of her excellent Maiestie there neuer yet wanted Papist Atheist Brownist Barowist Martinist Anabaptist nor Familie of Loue to bid them battaile that their course to Gods Kingdome might be stopt But in all their attempts it fareth with them as it dooth with the Wrastler within the Lystes he winnes now and than not because he is strong or impossible to be ouer-come but because the match that he deales withall is weake Martin hath made some head in some parts of her Maiesties Dominions not because his worshippe is inuincible but because hee hath closde with the clowted shoe and got a little credite by mens infirmites MAR. By your leaue Caualiero they say Martin hath great vpholders PAS It may be so to some few that are as readie as himselfe to rob the church though hee stand in they bosoms like the Grasse vpon the house to scape the Clergies Sickles Pasquill will haue a hooke to pull him down In the mean season his state is as the Grasse vppon the house they that are wise and religious doe passe by him but they neuer blesse him as men doe the croppe vppon the grounde Curses
