thinges do chyefly assaille inuade this same the catholykes do alwais defend yea and Cesar him self like wise of late was it also defendid in England euen of the nobles being the children of y e chuch in so murch y t thei thought it better to offer ther maked bodyes vnto y e weapons of their enemyes rather then they wold forsake that only fort and strong hold the which being once subdewed ouercome thenemyes of christ myghty haue easy passage to assail ouerthrow the church Notwithstanding they haue vaanquissed and slayne diuerse myghty men children of the church which sought to with stād them The which thing it is no ▪ maruaill though it com so to passe for so much as tehnemys haue a king to bether gwyde and Capytaine As yet in all the great myseries and calamyties which haue happened vnto the church ther was neuer no kinge which had conceiuid anny peruerse or cōtagious opiniō against the same but now it hath so inuadid y e hart of our kinge that he doth defende and mayntaine this his secte euen by thee very same meanes as the turk doth mahumet shewyng shaking his nakid and drawenswerd vnto al such as dare once dissent or disagre from hym Nether doth he so muche desyre any thyng as y t he myght haue tyme and space to confyrme and establyshe hym self that he myght bring a greater myschief and plague vpō the church then hath at any tyme before bene wrought by any turke and suerley he wyll do nolesse yf he obtayne that which he doth desire and goo about Wylt thow then o Cesar which sayest y t thou bereste such a zeale and loue vnto the christiā comon welth that thou wylt do althinges for thee louee therof graunt or gyue hym this time space Seing this parte of the Comō wealthe thus vexed criēg and calling for thy helpe ayd socour seing their ruyne so nere that remedi can not be any more prolonged yf yt shulde any thing at all profit But you couert your hole force and poure another wais so that what thorow your far dystance absence and your doubtfull warres against so myghty an enemye all hope is vtterly takē away that you can by any meanes help or succour vs in sesō as them whome you go now to deliuer out of bondage wylt thou then o Cesar frustrate thexpectacion of all thy frindes especially seing that the truste and confidēce which thy haue in you is thonly cause whye the haue not as yett tryed ther owen force and pouer at home nether haue attēptid to defend them selues by their owne strēgth do not hinke Cesar that all the noble spirytes and Courages ar gone out of the english mens harts nether Iudge that al the loue of sincere pure religiō is vtterlye extinct in them A sure coniectour tryall you maye haue her of by the death of thē which wil nigly haue yeldyd them selues to their enemyeis to be offred vp for relygiōs sake If god in the tyme of helias the prophete preseruide seuē thousād men which had not bowed their knes vnto baal from thee wycked Achab when they shuld haue bene slayn thorough y e perswasiō of his wicked wyfe Iezabel do not think that in this tyme in the which y e grace of the holye gost is muche more spred abrode that this wycked Iezabel though she be neuer so swyft vnto slaughter coulde haue put to death all the trew worshipers of religion Beleue me ther remayn yet hole legions in England of those which haue not bowed their knees vnto Baall whome whollye and altogether yf thou do come God hym self whiche hath preseruid them will bring them vnto you The Englyshmē o Cesar ar euen the very same which for a muche lighter cause euen them selues wihout any external help or ayd haue taken vengeance on their owen kinges for the euil administration of the comon wealth They which also haue called ther kinges to accompt for the wastfull spending of ther mony to thee domage of the comon wealth and whē they could not approue iustify the same they compellid them to resigne both croune and strepter whose coragions and stout stomacks for so much as they do yet remain nothing doth stay nether hath stayd them a great while frō reuenging thinium of their king but only the hope expectation which they had in you vnto whome they thought this matter so muche to pertayn that except you wold defraud your owne nature which by many your worthi actes thei wer persuadid to be most noble or els that you wolde set a syde all loue of religion the which it hath aperid you to be moste studiōs desirous of that they wer assured y t you could not but you must neds take this mater or cause vpon you For they suppose vereley y t throughe you their euell mai much more easili withe lesse trouble and danger vnto the kingdome be remedyed and withstand then yf they them selues shuld haue attemptid it with their owen pouer ther in suerly they Iudge well and worthely do loke for you But whether now o Cesar doest thou fley so fare frō thē what thing doth draw the away so farr from thy frindes leuing so great an ocasiō ministred y e at home and to go wher ther is lesse dāger do thy souldiars draw the that way Or is their willes more bent towarde thee affaires of theast parte wher their aunciēt enemyes are then to ward the west wher new enemys are Rysen What Souldyars bee they o Cesar If thei be the Spaniards to whome of Ryght thou doest much trust whose glory also in dyuerse battaills hath largely apearid Truly yf they hard or sawe that noble progeny or ofspringe of Isabel oppressed with mysery and calamytye in a most Iust cause desyring or requiring their help and ayd I know Cesar that the memory of that most worthy woman is not yet so fare out of their mind that they wold vtterly frustrate the desyres and requestes of her most worthy doughter I know ther is nothing so acceptable vnto them which they wold not wyllingly refuse and Leue of to healp this noble woman whome thonly honor of the knygdome of spayne ▪ which herin is chyefly sought wold sufficyently moue ther vnto yf they dyd but only heare or vnderstand that y e king of spain his doughter being by the space of .xx. yeres coupled in mariage to be thrust out of the kinges palaice for a harlottes cause as though she had bene y e doughter of some light person or of some boure or els had come bi stealth frō the futher parts of barbarye vnto the kinges chamber not to haue had so noble a kinge to her parent Or that she had ryghfully bene geuen him to wyfe out of so noble a kingdome wolde they with a quiet mind suffer so great a iniury which scarsly mā of the basest sort wold beare or suffer And wher as ther cane scarsly

worse then turkes for ther is a bryeff as they call it carted about of paulus the .iii. vnto themperour and king of the Romains in the which the very same thing is affirmed so that who soeuer doeth consider this oratiō shall easily presaeue that that also was made bi the same cardinall The Soules which ar taken out of the lappe and tyranye of the popysh church and restoryd vnto the trew church of Cryst such as ar all they whome thou falsly callest Turkes can be in no maner of perill and danger of Saluation but all such ar in great danger the whiche agre and consent with the popysh sect in so much that all hope of rheir saluation is past except thei be drawen a way frō thence by the myghty power of god Thou callest the preching of the gospell a great myschief by cause you feare that the power and existimation of your popes shuld be theirby be dymynyshed for as touching the Saluation or perdytion of Soules what doth that partain vnto you Art thou not ashamid to call the most noble kinges of england dēmarke and gothia and so manye famous princes of germani both for their byrth auctoryty god lynes so many consulles and rulers of the free cytyes and fynali so many good and learnyd men seruantes of Iesus Chryst and mynisters of the gospel new turkes only vpon this occasion bycause they hauīg reseauid y t pure knowledg and vnderstandinge of the word of God haue forsakē all your superstitions and idolatrys doth the truthe and charytye of the Sōne of god which thou faygnest to be so abundant in thy hart that thou canste not lay it awa teach or persuade the herunto Christ lefte none to be the head of the churche but only hym self vnto whome onely we most sticke and cleaue vtterli reiecte refuse this your fained hed thee pope Albeit thou haddest nat expressid it thy selfe who dyd not plainly se that all those opprobryes and tauntes which in thy rage and madnes thou hast obiectid and cast against the king of england to redounde also to the great ignomyny and shame of the most noble princes of germany the whiche also with him haue withe drawen them selues from the yoke and obedience of thee popes notwithe standinge thou like a most modest and sober Cardinall euen of thaboundance of thy hart woldest also by name taunt and teare this cōtrey of germany darest thou be so bold to afirme the holy gospell of Iesu Chryst the which we preach teach in our churches to be the adulterous and pestiferous turkish sede do you thinke that we haue so much for sakē cast awai the catholike veriti yf these thīges be treue which thou doest falsli affirme then truli the apostles al y e primitiue church had not the catholyke fayth but that pestiferous and adulterous sede Art thou not ashamed to affirme and fett these thinges in thy bokes and wheras thou-saist thou doest hope that this nation wyll abiect and cast of the pure and syncere doctrine of thee gospell and retorne again vnto your coruption and ydolatry thou art muche deceauid or that I think rather trew you do but fain your self so to beleue or thinke I do verely graunt that it is the turkysh maner to answer with the swerd against all such as speke in y e name of chryst I do verely graūt acknowledge that their secte and relygyonis therby agmentyd and incresid but I pray you see how prudent an orator you ar to propoun this mater in your oration seing thee pope hym self doth dayly answer the children of God and such as do professe christ with y e sword galows fyer you your self in your oration go about nothinge els then to moue or styre themperour to warts and to shede the blode of good and holy men haue you not wisely declared herin y e pope to play a ryght turkes parte and you yourself to haue a turkish mynd or stomak The lyk wordes and to the same veri effect we haue Red in the bryeff which I spake of before So that now we do nott dowbt but that you did also sett forth that most cruell sentence the which we once suposid to haue bene done by Cardinall Ceruimus when he was embassador with themperour as tutor of Cardinall farnesius but in the maene tyme thou doest pretend and shew forth such a modesty in those thy foure bokes in thee whiche thou doest bost thye selfe to abhorre all contentions neuer to haue bene at controuersy withe any man and to haue the loue Charity of God abondantly in thy mynd the which thing in dede many haue often supposid thought to be in you but ther is nothinge hiden whiche shall not be opened for thou hast betraied thy self hast vttrid that which thow hast long kept secrct in thy mynd Do you not thus reason that bycause thee turkish emperour doth much regarde the monkes therfore they do truly worshipp God and Christ It is most comely and mete for you to iudge vse thauctority of that tyrant as most holye whose example of cruelty against the Children of God you do not only folow but far surmount Noman doth beleue the that Moore was put to death for his silence for so much as it is euedent that he was punished for a seditiō or cōspirasi raysed bi him but thou veryli art ouerslanderous a person thorough this thy hole boke against the king vnto whom thou art not only ioyned by affinyti or kynred but also dydest confesse thy self most bounden who also was ordeined to be thi prince and hed by god but thou saiest thou woldest correct his errours and vices Admytt that they were vices which had bene comeli for the to correcte where I praie you haue you learnid that they ough to be correctid with such slanderous fierse wordes as is in your booke printyd at Rome y t which not onley this present age but also y e posterity to come shalrede wold you haue done this thing yf that you had the charyty and loue of God so aboundantly shut vp enclosed in your hart or mynd We knowe well ynough that you call the. Cartuslans those most holy and religioꝰ monkes the whiche had enbrased a most diuerse and contrary order from the gospel of Christ and most contaminate and defyled with false kind of worshippings and went about with to the and naill to defend and kepe the same and therfore styrred the people to rebellion against their kinge Thow now goest about to teach and persuade that the sect of the turkes is sprong and Rysen the which wold owerthrow the churche by the refusall and deniall of your head of Rome but harken again what our iugment is here in verely that your worthy head was the cause that Mahomet could not only plant that this most fylthy and wile sect but also bring it to such eficasitie and

force Do you demand the cause whye for so muche as thambytion and couetousnes of this your head was thonli cause of all those discordes and warres out of the whiche this great myschief sprange and burst out Further more we affirme that the popes them selues sitting vnder that shadow and colour in the church of God and exalting them selues as it wer aboue all gods to be more hurtfulle and noysome vnto the trew doctrine and faith of Christ then Mahohomet hym self which is an opē enemy ther vnto wherfore it is not for y e to go about to driu this dreame into mens heads that y e refusall of this most euill and naughty hed hath bred and brought in somani mischiefs into the cristian religiō but we rather thinke that thoze mischiefes which ar alredy roted can by no meanes be taken away excepte that your false head be fyrst abolished as the Rote and spring of all myschief wheras you do strait annexe that Germani was quiet and peasable and aboundant in all thinges So longe as it continwed vnder thobediens of your popes and that since thei haue reiectid and cast of that yoke of obediens all thinges to be torned into a worse estate thorder of the glose doth not suffer vs to answer in mani wordes whiche we will do els where now we wil briefli shew that you popes you cardinalles and you byshoppes which cānot beare nor suffer the lyght of the gospell to be sheuyd or prechid but rather desyre to haue yt vtterly extincte and hiden you I say both haue bene and at this present ar thonly authours and styrrers vp of all sedition dyscorde and mischiefes wherfore lay the faute on your owne neckes and not vpon the doctrine of christ I prai you tel me wher as you rede often in the gospel and actes of apostels y t cytis wer mouid to sedition that ther was great Vprores tumultes amongst the people who wer thauctors or mouers of y e same was Christ or his apostles or the infideles and enemies of the truth Suerly the misbeleuers and not Chryst nor his apostles wherfore you maye be ashamid once to make mention or speke of those warres and myschieffes which you your selues thorough your owne endeuour haue purposeli wrought and causid Further more wher as you say that germani is vexid with many inconueniences and euiles bycause yt hath denied your hedwe answer that hungarye is much more tormentid the whiche natwithstandīg neuer denied or refused your pope but do you not know that thorow the afflictiōs which happen both to the godly and vngodli we can iudge whether we be in the fauour of God or no. Do you not know that the wyckid idolatres in Ieremye dyd vtter euen the lyke wordes that you now do whē as they said since that we haue left of to offer incence and burnt offringes vnto thengine of heauen we haue had nede scartytie of al thīges ar consumid with theswerd honger all these thinges you know well ynough and yett you striue against the plain and euidēt truthe obiectinge those thinges which you now lai befor the people only to diffame and slander the doctrine of our Lorde Iesu Christ as most pestylent and the Rote of all myschief but beleue me thou shalt receue thy reuard for god him self will not suffer this great offence whiche thou hast ministred vnto all Europe to be vnreuēgid few men Iudgid in the that thou haddest such a rancour or madnes in thy mynde as now thow haste vttrid thy selfe to haue by thy fourebokes whiche thou hast set furth for y e defēce of the pope do you not remēber that chryst doth call and say that who soeuer doth offend but one of these litle ones it wer good for him to haue a mylstone hanged about his neck and to be throuen into the bottome of the see we wyll in no wyse suffer our selues to drawē or plucked awai from Christ but ar most fyrmely contentid with this only doctrine and hym to be our onli head and gouernour entending to cleue and styck vnto thee same although you shuld styrre vp a thosād tymes greater warres and myschiefes then you haue hyther to raysed yea although all thee world shulde swarue and fall away we wold wyllyngly beare the crosse with Christ Wher as thou deniest any other king then yours to haue refused this hedd thou art deceauid for I haue alredy remēbrid too other which haue done the lyke euen the most holy and vertuous kinges of denmarke gothia whome thou doest also call turkes I pray you when you dyd write these thinges dyd you not cast in your mynd that there myght happen some man to come forth which might tripe you with a lye wherbi your name and estimatiō myght be grealty hurt but this is verely the work of God that he might destroye the wysdome of the wyse Again thou reprehēdest the turk for shaking his teriblesword vnto all such as dare ones dissentt from him the which suerly you do very well repete renwing in our memory and also reprehending that which your own pope doth euen with much more cruelty and oftener then the turk Here thou blowest thy trumpet saing vnto Cesar conuert thy nauy put on thy armor and transuereat into brytayne and destroi that kingdome with fyer and sword shed the bloode of the king and his people yea and be most seuerely reuengid vpon them for thei haue for saken the pope to be their head Is this acomely saing of so sober holy man as you ar haue you learned this out of the gospell of y e charitie and loue of god which you say is so aboundantly grafted in your mynde wher as christ comandid peter when he drew his sword to put it vp into the sheath agaiē Thou contrary wyse callest vppō Cesar which hath his sword closed in his sheath draw thy sword kill and slea But wotte you what you haue brought to pas by this your oration wyll you that I shall tell you verely that almen may iustli think and Iudge in the that in this embassade whiche thou now art in vnto themperour that vnder the pretence of intreating of peace thow soundest none other thing in his eares then those wordes which I haue before mētioned that thou doest study and go about nothing els but only to moue him and styrr him vp against vs. So that yf it happen warres to be moued at this seasō agaīst vs we will impute all y e calamity and miseri vnto the alone and this eternall praise and glorye thou shall receaue therby O Immortall God how darest thou bee so bold to call that the pure and sincere religion in the which you haue most horribly prophanate and defyled the word of God and the sacramēts whiche wer ordeined by Christ verely you could haue vsid no word which myght worse haue agreed to that your romyshe seat and relygion But
