secreatlye for those yeeres wherin Queene Marie raigned within the house off one off his frendes leading a poore life whithout any mans aide or succour and yet so well contented with his lotte that in that pleasant rest and laisure off his studye he wold neuer in respect off him selfe haue desired any other kinde off life the extreame feare off danger onelye excepted wherin he liued with all good men and tha● not without som cause ▪ for from the beginning off the raigne off Queene mary vntill the end ther off very many Good men were burned not for murther ● theft whoredome or any other cryme But onely for ther manifest constancie in the Religion off Christe and ther open professing off the name off Christ against the Pope and all his confederates Whose deathe very gloriouslye to ther praise wil be remembred togither with the crueltye off that tyme off all posteritie for euer But that saynig off the Prophet is full off cōfort that God chideth not allwaies nether kepeth his wrath for euer and that off the Philosophers also is true that nothing violent is perpetuall For at this tyme queene mary died when she had reigned allmost sixe yeeres at which tyme God shewed his iustice to all that were afflicted and his iudgementes to those which had suffred wronge for Elizabeth the sister off Marie a ladie off singulare wisdome and mildnes expelled out off her realme the bondage off Rome restored the pure doctrine off the gospell licensing the people to reade the scriptures and calleth them all home into ther countrye which had willinglye banished themselues before At wich tyme she preferre● hī for whose praise this historie is compiled to the dignitie off tharchbishoprick off Canterbury wh●● he a litell before had crept out off his lurking hole into the open sight off the world with his wife whom he wold not dismisse all the tyme off Queene Marye a womā very chast and well manered and that did greatly reuerence hir husband off whom he begatt three children wheroff those two which are onely aliue his care is to haue them instructed in all liberall lerning partlye in thuniuersitye and sōetymes at home in his house But how vnwillinglye ●e tooke vppon him this whither yow call yt burthen or dignitie off the Archbishoprick refusing yt often times whē yt was profered ther conscience can witnes which haue not least to doo in the gouernment off the common wealth and suche as are in especiall fauor with the Queenes highnes But when he had once taken vpon him this chiefe cure and charge off the Christian flocke how wisely he behaued him therin for thos yeeres that are past with generall allowance consent and fauour off all Good men how discretly also in so great diuersitie and dissention off iudgementes how vprighly and sincerely in other mens matters and controuersies with how great gentilnes and patience in other mens wrath and displeasure with what forbearing and sufferaunce towardes the euill that he might winne them with what godlines in reconciling the stomakes off gentilmen and determining ther controuersies how lothe he was that contumeliously they should drawe eche other into the law lastly how often his voice was hard to sound owt off the holy pulpittes as well off his cathedrall church as the churches off other meane townes and villages especially in this his old age in his weake and crazed state off bodie in the middest off so great busines and in thes contagious and pestilent times ▪ all thes thinges I will leaue as matters vntouched because ther are verie many which without me by the vew off his manners and tried trade off his life are able to report thes and many thinges moo But yt ys impossible that I an howshold witnes occupyinge my selfe in the setting forth off so great praises should obteine credit what soeuer I am notwithstanding that I speake the truth in differently and wold not applie my selfe to gaine the fauour off men by flattery Therfore I will passe to the declaration off thos thinges wherin I may easely auoid the infamous blemishe off flatterie for that ther are many which can witnes with me that he deserued no smale commendation because that after he had visited his diocese through owt by him selfe and not by any substitute and which was more of his owne charges for that he freely remitted to all the parishes the sum̄es off ther procurations which they should haue pa●d him for visitinge the diocese that noble and famous palace off his sea off Cāterbury by long cōtinuance off time decaied rotten consumed with fire and almost laid euen with the ground in all the buildinges theroff he reūed builded ● fully restored and beautified yt with this faire and glorious shew wherin yt now florisheth not feared from this enterprise either by the infinite labour and trauaile neither dissuaded by the want off necessarie thinges which should haue bene left him off his predecessors nor by the dearth off the tyme nor by the wages off the laborers which were merueiloussly increased nor by any other lettes or hinderan̄ces But ●at he fully finished yt in the yeere off the incarnatiō off our lord 1564. the sixt yeere off the reigne off Queene Elizabeth and in the 6● yeere off his age and the fifte off his consecration In the which yeere he also endeuored to repaire the quires off thos churches which were lately come into his possession off which sort he had very many in his diocese partly by the exchaunge off auncient possessions off the Archbishoprick made betwene kinge Henry the eight and Tho. Archbishopp off Canterbury his predesessor partly for an other exchange off the possessions off the Archbishoprick by a statute established for the same purpose in the first yeere off Queene Elizabeth before he obteined the Sea. The charges off which building besides the yerely reparations off other howses grew to the summe off a thousand foure ●ūdreth powndes and somewhat more The which he did the rather for that he had heard that hall off the palaice within his remembrance singular and famous for the largenes theroff to haue bene honored in the yeere off our saluatiō 1519. by the presence as well off Charles the fifft emperour as off Henry the eight king off that name with his wife Katherine whom the Emperor came then to see being his aunt This hall thos princes then occupied with all the troupe off ther garde and retinue so that for all the princes affaires for triumphes and feastes the vpper part theroff was appointed for the Emperor Charles and the nether part for Henry the king But the chefest cause that he coueted to preserue the magnificence off that hall was for the memory off the coronation off kinges and Queenes very offten times celebrated in that place and the installinge off Archbishopps his predecessors which they commonly call inthronization to whose sumptuous feastes ther hath bene very great resort as well

wronge to those other by giuing them a name in any part common with Idolatrous priests them I say who euen at the first were called immediatly to the holy mynistrie off the glad tydinges off our saluacion reuealed nowe againe more cleerlie in these last dayes especyally the profession and institution off that preisthode beinge so contrary to the callinge off this mynistrie as Antechrist to Christ and Baal to the lyuing god Besides this epithete secular how contrarie is it to the function off a spirituall pastor a minister off the worde off God and breaker off the bread off lyfe where out off the Roman clergie shall a man finde suche a title for the minister off the worde as to call him a minister secular What els did cause Demas to steppe from the ministerye but presens seculum And what an heape off iniuries are done to the ministers off the glorious gospell off Iesus Christe to call them Regular Priestes or secular preistes still that haue shaken it off and haue happelye disgraded themselues by takyng vpon them a farre better degree then theroff to call them priestes secular which weare neuer other then ministers off the worde off god And euen he whome he himselfe calleth minister yet because he shoulde not disgrace whearin me thinkes the violence is offred rather to the Gospell then to the minister that ignomimous Priesthoode off Baal and shame there stayned garmentes with his fater garmente that therefore he must also be disguised with this Popishe addition and profaned epithite off secular Perhappes th● spirite which was in Caiphas his monthe ād made hī prophecye vnware was also in his penn that wrote this booke in callinge them secular whome indeade th●s presens seculum and the honors theroff hath made to worldlye and bewitched to the greate ruthe off manye good Christian hartes I beseeche God with his so●rte to open theire eyes that theye maye see and be hartelye sorye so to haue made so manye so sorye Which I yet hoope for and then we shall be gladd togithere I am almoste caryed a waye There lurkeeh yet a further daunger vnder these wordes Minister secular For thoughe in the darke daies or off those men that weare consecrate or rather execrate to that most vile vnholye sacrifice it had some reason to call the Massinge Prieste a priste secular thereby to make distinction betwene him and the onlye spirituall regular yet in this tyme off the Gospell to call one that was godlye called to the blissed and highe office in Godes Church off preachinge the Gospell off the Lorde Iesus who also did neuer vowe to sacrifice that blasphemous oblation and Idoll but was moued onlye to aduance the kingdome off God by preachinge his word to call such one I saye and in these dayes a Minister secular besides the other open euilles this also lurketh dangerouslye that yt maye be probablye thoughte there is nourished some reuerente estimation off the regular and easelye to be implied that it mighte be lawefull enoughe euen in the Church off God to haue Ministers also regulars Elles what need this distinction off secular Minister nowe the other beinge iustly gone and banished And this Church off Englande allowinge no man deuised order off regular ministerie The verye entertayninge off these badde names off Poperye is not good and it is strange that anye gospeller shoulde delighte in them and heere theye are not vsed without further
