the common welth to thentente y ● wyth his owne beames with y ● clere light of true religion he myghte haue illumined his vniuersitye now putting vp her head out of the depe night of darkenesse Agaynst the which wyshe forasmuch as the common vtility did repugne by the which the moste holy legate of the sea apostolicke was letted from beinge present himselfe he had wisely appoynted thē his deputies whose natures for their wisedome whose personnes for theyr worthinesse whose willes by reason of theyr education he thought most metest for this purpose Wherefore he sayd he was able to auouche this one thing according to the truth according to y ● thoughts of all that were there presente thei were euen y e very same men whose religion they all loued whose vertues they honoured whose good wil fayth and aduice they all called vpon to the common sauegard of them all For after the time that through the singular and moste excellent vertue of the Cardinall Poole we had ones in the common welth begonne out of the misty darkenesse of the times past to behold the clere lyghte agayne therwithal began we to fele also the most greuous euils of our age with the which being vndoubtedlye both infinite most miserable although we were before tymes ouerwhelmed yet thignoraunce of our calamitye was farre greater calamity thā the calamity it selfe To the augmentacion whereof we were in his iudgement to be compted so muche y ● more miserable in that being tossed in so troublesome a tempest we perceyued not that we were ones moued and that beinge oppressed wyth so greuous a malady of the conscience and of heresye we felte not our mindes one why● diseased For nedes must that disease be very daungerous which wythout feling of payne wasteth and consumeth nature oftentimes bringeth men to theyr graues ere they thinke thē selues sicke Wyth suche a kynde of dysease the vniuersitye was striken For whereas to other affayres and businesses it was perchāce pollitique and witty ynough yet in this case of Religion by reason the head of the church from whence al power of feling commeth was maymed it was become dul without perseuerāce vntil that about thre yeres past the Godly clemency of our most holy father Iulye the thyrde hauinge compassion vppon Englande almoste starke deade had engraffed vs againe into the Churche and restored vnto vs both lyfe and feelynge By whose helpe Britayne growing stronge and lustye agayne doth nowe easely vnderstande howe it hath escaped the vnauoydable peril of hell fyre The whych the Uniuersitye doth nowe also clearely see assuredlye beleuinge that there was neuer plague that lyghted vpon anye place with the whiche this realme in this spoyle of religion schisme hath not bene moste miserablye punyshed and afflycted For it were a longe matter to rehearce what a noumber of Monasteryes had bene rased what a sorte of Goddes houses had bene spoyled what pryestes had bene murthered what noble men had bene put to death what commotions and tumultes had bene raysed by the Comminaltye and howe sore the whole realme had bene empouerished the which although they myghte happen vpon some other occasion yet notwythstandynge for as muche as they were so greuous that they were able to oppresse it was to be thoughte they were caste vpon euell persons and offenders rather as a punyshement and vengeaunce than as a tryall But by the way if these thinges were graunted to be the dalyance of fortune they had abiden more greuous hurts both of religion and conscience as namelye that the feare of god and reuerēce of his saintes together w t theyr altars were vtterly banished the virginal vow of priests brokē into lust and lecherie the mindes of mē cast īto such a dead slepe that no Ceremonies were able to wake them agayne the hartes of mē through variety of opinions so diuersly drawen so disagreable wyth thē selues that they were wrapped in innumerable errours Among the which there were chiefelye two welspringes of

thought theym selues to haue brought no smal matter out of the scholes of Epicures to the lyght of the Ghospell For those wordes that Chryste had spoken preciselye and without any exception as cōcerninge the true and continuall presence of his body the verye same they wrested y t they iudged Christes wordes to be maymed not of his owne speaking if this word as it were being proper and peculyar to Epicures were not added thereunto And whereas Christen men should say playnly the body and bloud they beynge now Epicures must say figuratiuelye as it were the body as it were the bloud Yet notwithstanding forasmuche as it was no time as then to make manye wordes of thinges paste he wished they mighte ones be condēned to eternal forgetfulnesse to thētent that such as shold come after
