fall to the ground it is pitty they should be so they are such notable Pulpit men There is a neighbour of ours an honest Priest who was sometimes simple as he now stands a vice in a play for want of a better his name is Gliberie of Hawstead in Essex hee goes much to the Pulpit On a time I thinke it was the last May he went vp with a full resolution to doe his businesse with great commendations But see the fortune of it A boy in the Church hearing either the Summer Lord with his May game or Robin Hood with his Morice daunce going by the Church out goees the boye Good Glibery though he were in the pulpit yet had a mind to his old companions abroad a company of merry grigs you must thinke them to be as merry as a vice on a stage seeing the boy going out finished his matter presently with Iohn of Londons Amen saying ha ye faith boy are they there then ha with thee and so came downe and among them he goes Were it not then pitty that the dignity of such a Priest should decay And I would gentle T. C. that you would take the paines to write a treatise against the boy with the red cap which put this Glibery out of his matter at another time For Glibery being in the pulpit so fastened his eyes vpon a boy with a red ●…ap that he was cleane dasht out of countenance in somuch that no note could be hard from him at that time but this Take away red cap there take away red cap there it had beene better that he had never beene borne he hath marred such a Sermon this day as it is wonderfull to think●… The King and the Counsell might well have heard it for a good Sermon and so came down An admonition to the people of England to take heed of boyes with red caps which make them set light by the dignity of there Priests would doe good in this time brother T. C. you know well Reverend T. C The cause why we are so spighted is because we doe endeavour to maintain the lawes which his Majestie and the whole state of the Realme have allowed and doe not admit a new platforme of government devised I know not by whom Reverend Martin Why T. C. say Eulojin for Eulogein as often as you will and I will never spight you or the Bishop of Winchoster eyther for the matter But doe you thinke our Church government to be good and lawfull because his Maiestie and the 〈◊〉 who maintain the reformed religion alloweth the 〈◊〉 Why the Lord doth not allow it therfore it cannot be lawfull And it is the Fault of such wretches as you Bishops are that his Maiestie and the state alloweth the same For you should have otherwise instructed them they know you not yet so thorowly as I doe So that if I can prove that that the Lord disliketh our Church government your endeavours to maintaine the same shew that thereby you cannot chuse but bee traytors to God and his word whatsoever you are to his Maiestie and the State Now T C. looke to your selfe for I will presently make all the hoopes of your Bishopricks fly assunder Therefore Our Church government is an vnlawfull Church government and not allowed in the sight of God Because That Church government is an vnlawfull Church government the Offices and Officers whereof the civill magistrate may lawfully abolish out of the Church marke my craft in reasoning brother T. C. I say the Offices and Officers for I grant that the Magistrate may thrust the Officers of a lawfull Church governmēt out of the Church if they be Diotrepheses Mar●…elmes Whitgifts Simon Magustes Coopers Pernes Renoldes or auy such like Iudases though the most of these must be packing Offices and all but their Offices must stand that the same may be supplyed by honester men But the Offices of Archbishops and Bishops and therefore the Officers much more may be lawfully abolished out of the Church by his Maiestie and our state And truely this were brave weather to turne them out it is pitty to keep them in any longer And that would do me good at the hart to see Iohn of London and the rest of his brethren so discharged of his businesse as hee might freely run in his cassocke and hose after his bowle or florish with his two hand sword O t is a sweet trunch f●…ddle But the Offices of Archbishops and Bishops may be lawfully abolished out of the Church by his Maiestie and the state as I hope one day they shall be Therefore marke now T. C. and cary me this conclusion to Iohn of Lambehith for his breakefast our Church government by Arohb Bishop●… is an vnlawfull church governmēt You see brother Cooper that I am very courteous in my minor for J desire therein no more Offices to bee thrust out of the Church at one time but Archbs. and Bishops as for Deanes Archdeacons and Chancellors I hope they will be so kind vnto my Lords grace as not to stay if his worship and the rest of the noble clergie Lords were turned out to grasse I will presently prove both maior and minor of this syllogisme And hold my cloake there some body that I may goe roundly to worke for I le so bu●…eg the Cooper as it had beene better to have hooped halfe the tubs in Winchester then write against my worships pistles No civill Magistrate may lawfully either maime or deforme the body of Christ which is the Church but whosoever doth abolish any lawfull Church Officer out of the church government he doth either maime or deforme the Church Therefore T. C. no civill Magistrate no Prince no state may without sinne abolish any lawsull Officer together with his office out of the government of the Church and p●… consequens the Offices of Archbishops and Lordbishops which his Maiestie may without sinne lawfully abolish out of the Church are no lawfull Church Officers and therefore also the Church government practised by Iohn Whitgift Iohn Mar-●…lme Richard Peterborow William of Lincolne Edmond of Worcester yea and by that olde stealecounter masse priest Iohn of Glocester with the rest of his brethren is to be presently thrust out of the Church And me thinkes this geare cottons indeed my masters And I tould you T. C. that you should be thumped for defending Bishops Take heed of me while you live The minor of my last syllogisme that whosoever doth abolish the Office of any lawfull Church Officer out of the church he either maimeth or deformeth the church I can prove with a wet finger Because every lawfull Church Officer even by reason of his Office is a member of the body of Christ Iesus which is the church and being a member of the body if the Magistrate doth displace him by abolishing his Office and leaveth the place thereof voide then the Magistrate maimeth the body if hee put another Office vnto an Officer in stead

He sold it to an allowed Printer I. C. one his owne company with the knowledge of his Warden Henry Denham c. And call you this favour in releasing him after long imprisonment But I will give you a president of great favour indeed wherein you may see what an ungratefull fellow Waldegrave is to his grace who hath bin so good unto him frō time to time There being a controve●…e betweene another Printer and Waldegrave all matters of Printing being committed by the Lords of the Counsell to his grace Waldegrave made one of his Company his friend who could do much with his grace to deale for him who brake the matter to his worship being at Croydon in his Orchard so soone as the party named Waldegrave he sweetely answered him saying if i●… had bin any of the company save him he would have granted the suite but in no case to Waldegrave Well Waldegrave obtained the K. H Lord Treasurers Letter in his behalfe to his grace who when he had read it said J will answer my Lord Treasurer with that Waldegrave intreated for his favourable Letter to the Wardens of his Company which in the end through D. Coosins hee obtained though late yet went home at night thinking to deliver it in the Morning but before he was ready the Wardens were with him and rested him with a Pursivant upon his graces Commandement Waldegrave telling them there was a letter from his grace which hee receiued late the last night at Croydon who answered they knew it well enough but this is his pleasure now so they carryed Waldegrave to prison and in this his Grace was so good unto him as to helpe him with an hundred marks over the shoulders If this be your favour God keepe mee from you ka M. Marprelate Bishops have justly received according to their deserts having found greater favour at my Worships hands then ever they deserved being notorious disobedient and godlesse persons unthrifty spenders and consumers of the fruits not of their owne labors as you say Waldegrave was but of the possessions of the Church persons that have violated their faith to God his Church his Majesty and this whole Kingdome and wittingly bring us all without the great mercy of God to our undoing so that ou●… wives children servants have cause to curse all L. Bp. Lo T. C. you see that I have a good gift in imitation and me thinkes I have brought your words into a marvailous good sence where as before in the cause of Waldegrve they were illfavouredly wrested and as for his wife and children they have just cause to curse Iohn of London and Iohn of Canterbury for their tyrannizing over him by imprisoning and spoiling his goods and vexing his poore wife and children with continuall rifeling his house with their Pursivants who in November last violently rusht into his house breaking through the maine wall thereof after midnight taking away his goods for some of the Pursivants sold his bookes vp and downe the streets to Watchmen and others Ah you Antichristian Prelates when will you make an end of defending your tyranny by the bloud and rapine of her Majesties subjects You have bin the consumers of the fruits of Waldegraves labours for have you not sent him so often to prison that it seemed you made a common occupation thereof For assoone as any booke is printed in the defence of Christs holy Discipline or for the detecting of your Antichristian dealings but your ravening pursivants flye city and country to seeke for Waldegrave as though he were bound by statute unto you either to make known who printed seditious bookes against my L. Face or to goe to prison himselfe and threatned with the racke And are you not ashamed to say that he ever violated his Faith you know well enough 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 never eat bit of bread after hee released him Nor at that time when you profane T. C. told him that all Puricans had trayterous hearts Nor at that time Waldegrave told her grace that hee was worse then Bo●…er in regard of the time Nor that time when hee was strangely released by one of the Lord 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 Stationers that if Waldegrave would come quietly to him and cease printing of seditious bookes he would pardon what was past and the Wardens promised his wife that if he were committed they would lye at his graces gate till he were released and for all this yet hee was committed to the white Lyon where he lay 6 weeks Nor it was not at that time when his grace allowed Watson the Pursivant to take of Waldegrave 13●… 4 pen●…c f●…r carrying 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 Comminalty the practise of Prelates a learned mans judgment c.

thereof he deformeth the same Because the Magistrate hath neither the skill nor the commission to make the members of the body of Christ Because hee cannot tell to what vse the members of his making may serve in the Church Doe you thinke T. C. that the Magistrate may make an eye for the visible body of the Church For you must vnderstand that we all this while speake of the visisible body can he make a foot or a hand for that body I pray you in what place of the body would you have them placed If our Saviour Christ hath left behind him a perfect body surely he hath left therein no place or no vse for members of the Magistrates making and invention if an vnperfect and maimed body I am well assured that the magistrate is not able to perfect that which he left vnfinished But I hope T. C. that thou wilt not be so mad and wicked as to say that our Saviour Christ left behind him heere on earth an vnperfect and maimed body If not then where shall these offices namely these members invented by the Magistrate be placed therein Would you have the naturall eyes put out as your brethren the bishops have done in the church of England euer since Iohn of Canterbury vrged his wretched subscription and vnnaturall squint gogled eyes put in their stead when the body cannot see with any eyes but with the naturall eyes thereof displace them howsoever you may seeme to helpe the matter by putting others in their stead yet the body shall be still blind and maimed What say you T. C. may the Magistrate cut off the true and naturall legges and hands of the body of Christ under a pretence to put woodden in their stead I hope you will not say that he may How then commeth it to passe T. C. that you hold Iohn of Canterbury his office and Iohn Mar●…elmes to be true and naturall members of the body that is true officers of the Church and yet hold it lawfull for his Majesty to displace them out of the church J cannot tell brother what you hold in this point Me think J have disturbed your sences Doe you thinke that the magistrate may displace the true members of the body of Christ and place woodden in their stead Why this is to hold it lawfull for the Magistrate to massacre the body Doe you thinke he may not Then may not his Maiesty displace Iohn of Canterburies office out of our church if hee may not displace his office then either he by vertue of his office is a lawfull Pope aboue all civill magistrates or else the Church government is so prescribed in the word as it is not lawfull for the magistrate to alter the same But Iohn of Canterbury as the Puritans themselves confesse is no Pope Then either the church government is so prescribed in the word as it may not be altred or else the maiestrate may abolish a lawfull church government and place another in stead thereof If the Church government be so prescribed in the word as it cannot be altered then either our government is the same which was therein prescribed or our Church government is a false Church government If ours be the same which is mentioned in the word Then Paul and Peter were either no true Church governours or else Paul and Peter and the rest of Church governours in their time were Lords for all our Church governours are Lords But Paul and Peter c. were no Lords and yet true church governours Therefore our church government is not that which is prescribed in the word and therefore a false and vnlawfull church government If you thinke that the Magistrate may displace the lawfull Offices of the body then as I said before you hold it lawfull for the Magistrate to maime or deforme the body Because what soever hee putteth in the roome of the true and right members must needs be a deformitie and what place soever he leaveth vnfurnished of a member must needes bee a maime And this is the onely and sole office of Christ onely to place and displace the members of his body to wit the Officers of his Church he may lawfully doe it so cannot man And therefore the sots of which number you T. C. and you Iohn Whitgift and you Deane Iohn and you D Coosins and you D. Copcot with the rest of the ignorant and wretched defenders of our corrupt Church government are to be accounted which thinke that the Offices of Pastors Doctors Elders and Deacons or the most of them may be aswell now wanting in the Church as the Offices of Apostles Prophets and Evangelists doe notably bewray their vile ignorance but the cause they doe not hurt For the beasts doe not consider that the Offices of Apostles Evangelists and Prophets were removed out of the church not by man but by the Lord because he in his wisdome did not see any vse of such members in his body after the time of the first planting of the Church I say they were removed by the Lord himselfe and not by man because partly the gifts wherewith they were endued partly the largenesse of their commission with certaine other essentiall properties to them belonging were by him abrogated and taken away which no man could doe againe the Apostolicall Evangelicall and Propheticall callings were either lawfully or vnlawfully abolished out of the Church if lawfully then they were abolished by the Lord and therfore they are neither to be called backe vntill he sheweth it to be his pleasure that it should be so neither can the church be truly said to be maimed for want of them because he which could best tell what members were fit for his Church did abolish them If vnlawfully then those callings may bee lawfully called backe againe into the Church and the Church without them is maimed that is wanteth some members For if their callings were injuriously abrogated they are as iniuriously kept out of the Church and being members of the church the church is maimed without thē vnlesse the Lord hath shewed that the time of their service in the body is expired But they are not injuriously kept out for so his Maiestie should be said to injury the Church vnlesse hee would see Apostles prophets and Evangelists planted therein neither can the church be said to bee maimed for want of them because the Lord by taking them away hath declared that now there can be no vse of them in the body therefore the Lord abrogated them Therefore also they may be wanting and the Church neither maimed nor deformed thereby Whereas the keeping out of either of the former offices of Pastors Doctors elders and Deacons is a maiming of the Church the placing of others in their stead a deforming Now reverend T. C. I beseech you entreat mistresse Cooper to write to M D. Day sometimes of Magdalins that he may procure D. Cooper to know of him that was the last Thomas of Lincolne whether
