Temporis Filia Veritas A mery devise called the Troublsome travell of Tyme and the daungerous delivery of her Daughter Trueth Equity is gone asyde and Righteousnes standeth farre of the Trueth is fallen downe in the streets and the thing that is playne may not be shewed The Trueth is layde in prison and he that refrayneth himselfe from evill must bee spoyled Esa 59. a.

Interlocutours BENNION the Button-maker and BALTHESAR the Barber Anno 1589. BENION WEll ouertaken neighbour BALTHASAR where haue you bin this longe tyme for I haue not seene you in your shoppe these 3. or 4. dayes BALTHASAR I have bin washing shauing and triming in the Countrye Ben. Then I trust you can tell vs of some good newes for men say all newes are to be heard of at a Smyths Forge a Barbers shopp or at a mill Balt. Verely I can heare of little or no good newes in the Contry to be had wherefore I pray you neighbour Benion tell me in sadnes what doe you heare Ben. Suerly neighbour I can tell you of very good newes wherat I trust to God we all shall reioyse this is the matter I came no sooner into the Citty and had gotten a Chapman for my buttons but in comming by a Smiths Forge I heard say there was a worthy Parlament appoynted and a gratious day set wherin euery man conserning his religion should be permitted freely to speake without any lett or interruption and also heard without any perceality And then whosoeuer hath the best on his syde in the Trueth it was concluded that his religion should take place he preferred of the Kinge and the Trueth set vp aboue all Balt. But tell me is that possible Ben. Yea truly but what would you saye if I were there present and hearde all the same parley euen from the beginning to the end Balt. Suerly I would say then that this Realme should be most happy of all nations vnder the Sonne yea and moreouer that the Lord would blesse and prosper such magistrates in all things that they tooke in hand Now therefore I pray thee tell me more of this matter but wast thou in deed from the beginning to the end of this parley Ben. I heard al that was there spoken and concluded amongst them Balt. What were the company there assembled canst thou tell Ben. Yea For there was none that sate in Iudgment vnlesse they were of great dignity honour or worship Videlicet 1. The Kinge which executeth true judgment without percealety and he sate vppermost in his royall seate 2. The Counsell which are good aduouching alwayes therunto they sate next vnto him 3. The Lords Spiritual who are zelous for the trueths cause and were placed next them 4. The Lords Temperall who are redy to defend the Trueth and they were placed next them 5. And lastly the comons who are redy to liue therin euery one of these aforesayd so much as they may attayne grace therto of the Lord and they sate in the nethermost roome Balt. This was doubtlesse a ioyfull sight To● beholde the Lord blesse them all and geue them of his grace to haue all men speake whithout perseality to judge vprightly and also to establish those things that may redounde to Gods glory Amen but what speaker was appoynted to the same parlament Ben. Such a one as in lyke maner feared the Lord and is desyerous that all things mought be done for the best according to Gods will Balt. Then first of all I pray thee let me heare what the speaker sayd and what matters were their cheifly handled by him conserning the effect o● principall causes of theyr assembly for it should seeme by this thy saying that there were matters handled of great importance Ben These or the lyke so farre as my memory would serve me were the words of the speaker SPEAKER For as muche as I at this tyme although vnmeet therunto am appoynted to speake before the Kings highnes as also before you all Right high Honorable an● worshipfull here assembled in matters appertayning to a common welth sowell for soule as body Therefore must I first of all in most humble wise craue perdon of his Majestie and also of all you Honorable and worshipfull in this audience that if any thing chaunce for the want of skill audacitie or wisdom to escape my mouth it may be taken to the best according to my good meaning Thus it is ò most renoumed Prince and you Honorable Lords Spirituall temperall together whith you worshipfull and commons of this present Parlament here assembled also be it knowne vnto you all That the cheif and principall thing wherethrough all Nations Kingdoms Princes People and commonwelths are vphoulden kept and preserved from harmes and destruction is God which God therefore ought of all Nations Kingdoms and People most cheifly and aboue all other things to be feared loued obeyed honored served And seeing that your calling is cheifly to that end also that all your cares and Industryes is now gratiously bent therunto in somuch as this honorable assembly is come together there about I beseech you therefore in the name of the same liuing God to heare me For as-much as it is not vnknowne vnto the Kings highnes as also to the honorable and worshipfull here assembled that although the scriptures haue bin to the same effect aforsayd most plentifully read vnto the People these many yeres according to the Kings appoyntment and good intention yet not-withstandinge we see that the liues of the People for the most part are become worse and worse sowell among the learned as among the layhood and the cause is for that the Preachers themselues doe not desyer to become such as they would frame theyr hearers to be And not that alone but also by thAt meanes and for the want of obedience there are spr●ng vp sondry sect and sortes of religions here among vs at this daye so thatt euery one being notwithstanding contrary mynded one towards an other will haue his owne for the best yea although they must all needs graunt that there is but one onely trueth it would be to long to resyte how many haue bin deceiued and are yet through superstition and Idolatry likewise how many in these haue taken to their selues A freedom and liberty of lyfe in comitting wickednes out of their miscōrstuing of holy scriptures And more ouer how m●ny haue bin expulced the vniuersities for their dissobedience forsaken heir benefice and exhibition gathered together their conventikles Pr●ached false and sedicious
