A07039	Hay any worke for Cooper: or a briefe pistle directed by waye of an hublication to the reverende byshopps counselling them, if they will needs be barrelled vp, for feare of smelling in the nostrels of her Maiestie [and] the state, that they would vse the aduise of reuerend Martin, for the prouiding of their cooper. Because the reuerend T.C. (by which misticall letters, is vnderstood, eyther the bounsing parson of Eastmeane, or Tom Coakes his chaplaine) to bee an vnskilfull and a beceytfull [sic] tubtrimmer. Wherein worthy Martin quits himselfe like a man I warrant you, in the modest defence of his selfe and his learned pistles, and makes the coopers hoopes to flye off, and the Bishops tubs to leake out of all crye. Penned and compiled by Martin the Metropolitane.

know not D. Bridges and Iohn Whitgift Yea but his grace also firmely beleeueth that Christ in soule descended into Hell This is the 3. point of his catholike perswasion but tell him from me that he shal neuer be saued by this beliefe and my finger in his mouth Let him tell what our sauiour Christ should do if he did not harrow Hell Where thou saiest M. Yong had onely the dealing with Thakwel the popish printer without his graces priuitie thou liest in thy throat M. Yong him selfe brought him to his grace who ordered the matter as it is set downe in my Pistle But did not I say truely of thee that thou canst cog face lye as fast as a dog can trot and that thou hast a right seasoned wainscoate face of ti nowne chwarnt tee ti vorehead zaze hard as horne Concerning Walde-graue its no matter how you deal with him heez a foolish fellow to suffer you to spoyle his presse and letters an a had bin my worships printer I de a kept him from your clouches And yet it is pitie to belye the diuell and therefore you shall not belye him and goe scotfree As for the presse that Walde-graue solde he did it by order vz. He solde it to an allowed printer I.C. one of his owne companie with the knowledge of his Warden Henry Denham c. And cal you this fauor in releasing him after long imprisonment But I will giue you a president of great fauour in deede wherein you may see what an vngrateful fellow Walde-graue is to his grace who hath bin so good vnto him from time time There being a controuersie betweene another printer and Walde-graue all matters of printing being committed by the LL. of the Counsell to his grace Walde-graue made one of his company his friende who could do much with his grace to deale for him who brake the matter to his worship being at Croydon in his Orcharde so soone as the partie named Walde-graue he sweetely aunswered him saying if it had bin any of the cōpany saue him he would haue graunted the suite but in no case to Walde-graue Well Walde-graue obtayned the R. H. Lord Treasurers letter in his behalfe to his grace who when he had read it said I wil answer my L. Treasurer with that Walde-graue intreated for his fauorable letter to the Wardens of his companie which in the end through D. Coosins he obtained though late yet went home at night thinking to deliuer it in the morning but before he was readie the Wardens were with him and rested him with a Purciuant vpon his graces commandement Walde-graue telling them there was a letter from his grace which he receiued late the last night at Croidon who answered they knew it well inough but this is his pleasure now so they caried Walde-graue to prison and in this his grace was so good vnto him as to help him with an hundred marks ouer the shulders A new reuenge for an old grudge If this be your fauour God keepe me from you ka M. Marprelate Bishops haue iustly receiued according to their desertes hauing found greater fauour at my worships hands thē euer they deserued being notorious disobedient godlesse persons vnthrifty spenders consumers of the fruits not of their own labors as you say Walde-graue was but of the possessions of the church persons that haue violated their faith to god his church hir maiesty this whol kingdom wittingly bring vs al without the great mercy of god to our vndoing so that our wiues children seruants haue cause to curse al L. Bb. Lo T.C. you see that I haue a good gift in imitation and me thinkes I haue brought your wordes into a marueilous good sense wher as before in the cause of Walde-graue they were ilfauoredly wrested and as for his wife children they haue iust cause to curse Iohn of London and Iohn of Canterburie for their tyrannizing ouer him by imprisoning and spoyling his goods and vexing his poore wife and children with continuall rifeling his house with their purciuants who in Nouember last violently rusht into his house breaking through the maine wall thereof after midnight taking away his goods for some of the purciuants solde his books vp and downe the streats to watchmen and others Ah you Antichristian prelats when will you make an ende of defending your tyrannie by the blood and rapine of her maiesties subiectes You haue bin the consumers of the fruits of Walde-graues labors for haue you not sent him so often to prison that it seemed you made a common occupation thereof For assoon as any book is printed in the defence of Christs holy discipline or for that detecting of your Antichristian dealings but your rauening purciuantes flye citie countrie to seeke for Walde-graue as though he were boūd by statute vnto you either to make known who printed seditious books against my L. Face or to go to prison himselfe and threatned with the racke O the greatnes of his graces fauor And are you not ashamed to say that he euer violated his fayth you know wel inough that he is neither Archb. nor L.B. The case thus stood after he had remained a long time in prison not that time when Hartwell his graces secretary wisht that his grace might neuer eat bit of bread after he released him Nor at that time when you profane T.C. to●● him that all puritans had traiterous hearts Nor at that time Wald-graue tolde his grace that he was worse thē Boner in regard of the time Nor that time when he was straungely released by one of the Lorde of good Londons Swans Neither was it at that time when his grace good conscionable noble man violated his promise in that he told the wardens of the staciouers that if Walde-graue woulde come quietly to him cease printing of seditious bookes he would pardon what was past the wardens promised his wife that if he were committed they would lye at his graces gate til he were released and for al this yet he was committed to the white Lyon where he laye sixe weekes Nor it was not at that time when his grace allowed Watson the purciuant to take of Walde-graue 13. s. 4. pence for cariyng of him to the white Lyon But it was that time when his grace kept him 20. weekes together in the white lyon for printing the Complaint of the comminaltie the Practize of prelats A learned mans iudgment c. Means being vsed for his liverty his freud who was bound for him told him his liberty was obtained in maner following You must be bounde saith he in a 100. pounds to print no more books herafter but such as shal be authorized by hir Maiesty or his grace or such as were before lawfully authorized wherunto he answered that it was not possible for him to containe himselfe within the compasse of that bond Whereby it may appeare he swore not to his friend neither should his consent

these lawes vnles by vertue of them you meane eyther to enforce the supremacie of the prince to go again to Rome or to come to Lambeth It is treson by Statute for any subiect in this land to proceed doctor of the Canō law and dare you professe your church gouerment to be ruled by that law As though one statute might not refer all matters of the Canon law vnto the temporall common law of this Realme and is this all you can say T.C. Yes sayth he the gouernment of Christe would bring in the iudiciall law of Moses As much as is morrall of that law or of the equitie of it would be brought in And do you gainesay it But you sodden headed Asse you the most part of that law is abrogated Some part thereof is in force among vs as the punishment of a murtherer by death and presumptuous obstinate theft by death c. Hir Maiesties prerogatiue in ecclesiastical causes should not be a whit diminished but rather greatly strengthened by Christs gouernment And no lawe should be altered but such as were contrary to the lawe of God against the profit of the common wealth and therefore there can be no danger in altering these The ministers maintenance by tythe no puritane denieth to be vnlawfull For Martin good M. Parson you must vnderstand doth account no Brownist to be a puritane nor yet a sottish Cooperist The inconuenience which you shew of the gouerment which is that men would not be ruled by it is answered afore And I praye you why should they not be better obedient vnto Gods law if the same also were established by the lawe of the lande then to the Popes lawe and his Canons You think that all men are like your selues that is like bishops such as cannot chuse but breake the laws and good orders of God and her Maiestie The lawes of Englande haue bene made when there was neuer a bishop in the Parliament as in the first yere of her Maiestie And this reason as al the rest may serue to maintaine poperie as well as the hierarchie of Bb. The gouerment of the church of Christ is no popular gouernement but it is Monarchicall in regarde of our head Christ Aristocraticall in the Eldership and Democraticall in the people Such is the ciuill gouernement of our kingdome Monarchicall in her Maiesties person Aristocraticall in the higher house of Parliament or rather at the Councell table Democraticall in the bodie of the commons of the lower house of Parliament Therefore profane T.C. this gouernment seeketh no popularity to be brought into the Church much lesse entendeth the alteration of the ciuill state that is but your slaunder of which you make an occupation And I will surely paye you for it I must be brief now but more warke for Cooper shall examine your slaunders They are nothing else but prooffes that as by your owne confessions you are bishops of the Diuell so you are enemies vnto the state For by these slaunders you go about to blinde our state that they may neuer see a perfect regiment of the Church in our dayes I saye that by your owne confession you are bishops of the Diuell I will prooue it thus You confesse that your Lordly gouernment were not lawfull and tollerable in this cōmonwealth if her Maiesty the state of the land did disclaime the same Tell me doe you not confesse this Denie it if you dare For will you say that you ought lawfully to be here in our commonwelth whether her Maiesty and the Counsell wil or no Is this the thankes that her Maiestie shall haue for tollerating you in her kingdome all this while that nowe you will saye that you and your places stand not in this kingdome by her curtesie but you haue as good right vnto your places as she hath vnto her kingdome And by this meanes your offices stande not by her good liking and the good liking of the state as do the offices of our L. high Chancellor high Treasurer and high Steward of Englande But your offices ought to stand to be in force in spight of her Maiestie the Parliament Counsell and euerie man els vnles they woulde doe you iniury Soe that I know I you dare not deny but that your offices weare vnlawfull in our common wealth if her Maiestie the Parliament and the Counsell woulde haue them abollished If you grant this then you doe not hold your offices as from God but as from man Her maiestie she holdeth hir office and her kingdome as from God and is beholding for the same vnto no prince nor state vnder heuen Your case is otherwise for you hold your offices as from her Maiestie not from god For otherwise you needed not to be any more beholding vnto her Maiestie for the same in regarde of right then she is bounde to be beholding vnto other states in regarde of her right and so you in regarde of your Lordly superioritie are not the bishops of god but as Ierom sayth the bishops of man And this the most of you confes to be true and you see how dangerous it woulde be for you to affirme the contrary namely that you holde your offices as from god Well sir if you say that you are the bishops of man Thē tell me whether you like of Dean Iohn his booke T.C. 38. O yes sayth T.C. For his grace did peruse that book we know the sufficiencie of it to be such as the Puritans are not able to answere it Well then whatsoeuer is in this booke is authenticall It is so saith T.C. otherwise his grace would not haue alowed it What say you then to the 140. page of that booke where he saith answering the treatise of the bishop of God the bishop of Man and the bishop of the Diuell that there is no bishopp of man at all but euerie B. must be either the Bishopp of God or the Bishop of the Diuel He also affirmeth none to be the bishop of god but he which hath warrant both inclusiuely and also expresly in gods word Deane Iohn lib. 4. page 340. line 7. Now you Bishops of the Diuell what say you now are you spighted of the Puritans because you like good subiects dofend the lawes of her Maiestie or els because like incarnate Diuells you are bishops of the Diuells as you your selues confesse Here againe let the Magistrate once more consider what pestilent and daungerous beasts these wretches are vnto the ciuill state For either by their owne confession they are the Bishops of the Diuell and so by that means will be the vndoing of the state if they be continued therin or else their places ought to be in this commonwealth whether her Maiestie and our state will or no because they are not as they say the bishops of man that is they haue not their superioritie and their Lordly callings ouer their brethren by humane constitution as my LL. Chancellor Treasurer and other
