him at his return he would pay him againe Yet consider they not that in that Parable our Sauiour exhorteth vs to mutuall loue neighbourly charitie and that euery man is bounde to doo good vnto his neighbour in time of néede They denie that faith is sufficient to iustifie vs in Gods sight without our owne merits 8 Good woorkes contrary to the doctrine of the Apostle in his Epistles to the Romaines and Galathians For good works are indeede required at our handes not as the cause but as the effect of our iustification And for this cause workes are required at our hands to be a testimonie of our Faith and a cause that other men may giue the glorie vnto God for our Sauiour saith Math. 5. Sic luceat lux vestra coram hominibus vt videant opera vestra bona et glorificent Patrem vestrum qui est in caelis So let your light shyne before men that they may see your good works and glorifie your Father which is in heauen Then is it consequent that our iustificatiō commeth no waies of our selues but onely by faith in Christ Iesus After this followeth a most ridiculous doctrine 9 Indulgences and pardons of the Popes Indulgences and pardons wherein he dooth most insolently arrogate to himself the dispensations of Christ his passion applying that to the forgiuenes of sins the forme of which hath an arrogant kind of spéech as thus If a man fast one Friday with bread and water he shal haue plenarie indulgence and if he fast so on another day his pardon shal be limitted for certaine yéeres as 10000. c. or some such like or els a pena et culpa I alwaies thought these trifles vaine but now I sée the blasphemie of them For it is scant possible to get these great Indulgences but by wearing a paire of Beades or a Graine Medall Crucifixe Picture Agnus Dei or such like tromperie It would be too tedious to set downe the manifold kinds of these Indulgences which al tend to one ende that is to the lessening of the vertue of Christ his passion 10 Images Exo. 20. The seconde commaundement plainly forbiddeth vs to make or to haue any grauen Image or the likenes of any thing to worship it But the aduersarie excommunicateth them that denie the necessitie of Images in Churches as it is to be séene in dyuers of their Counsels For say they it is lawfull not onlie to retaine them but also to worship thē The which if it be not against the seconde commaundement let them looke vnto it I for mine owne part doo sée it and am ashamed that euer I was so blockish as to thinke a block or a stone to bee necessarie or godlie I thought it so once but nowe I cannot be so perswaded For he that hath any reason in him to discourse or sence to perceiue cannot be so void of reason or so sencelesse as to exhibit honor or reuerence to a senclesse Image when the same Image if it had sence would not onely refuse that worship but also would willingly fall downe to worship or adore the workman that made it 11 Communion in both kinds They hold and defend that the Laye people may not receiue the Communion vnder both kinds which doctrine is repugnant to the institution of Christ For he said vnto thē that were present with him at hys last Supper Take and eate and drinke ye all of this For though the aduersary say that the Laye people haue not the priuiledge to receiue the Cup because the Apostles who onely were present at that supper were Priestes and not Laye men it holdeth not for by the same reason a man may also barre the Laye people from receiuing of either kinde for the Apostles were Priests and only present at the Supper ergo it is vnlawful for any to be pertaker of that Supper but onlie Priests And yet Christ himselfe in another place saith Ioh. 6. Vnles you eate my flesh and drinke my blood you shall haue no life in you And these words he spake not only to the Apostles but Turbis Iudeorum to the company of the Iewes and therfore I count their dealings iniurious to the people their doctrine blasphemous their proofe to no purpose Finallie all such Articles 12 Dyuers other Articles which are repugnaunt to the word of God I vtterly refuse as in speciall the Seruice in an vnknowne tongue the prohibition of the reading of Scriptures to the Laye people the forbidding of the translation of the same into a vulgare tongue Pylgrimages Vowes and to conclude all such Articles as are contrarie to the Articles of Religion set downe by publique authoritie I doo vtterly renounce and abiure and on the other side I doo willingly and without compulsion and gladly with reuerence receiue embrace and fréelie professe the sayde Articles set forth by publique authority as doctrine without superstition and most agréeable to the word of God Thus haue I generally recanted mine errours in matters of Religion and nowe will I accuse my selfe and my dealings touching my disobedience towards my Soueraigne the Quéenes most excellent Maiestie I haue most stubbornly and wilfullye transgressed her Maiesties Lawes Knowing first the offence of going beyond the Seas and yet caring not for that I procéeded further and willinglie was priested at Rome Thirdly maliciously I came into my Countrey with a will to seduce her Ma. Subiects from the true and sincere Religion and make thē subiects to that tyranny vnto the which I was my selfe subiect Then being banished I returned againe into my Countrey with the same intent that I came in first and for these great faultes of myne I am most hartily sorrie and in the bowels of Gods infinite mercy I desire all them that any waies by my meanes haue béene deceiued doo nowe repent to forgiue me Likewise those that haue not as yet their harts mooued by my example to forsake theyr errours and amend their opinions Thus first of all I aske forgiuenes of almightie God whom like a most ingratefull wilful wretch I haue most gréeuously offended First in abusing his gifts which of his fatherly goodnes he had bestowed vpon me Secondly in refusing and reiecting his holy inspirations And lastly by prouoking others to offend by my example And all this haue I doone not like vnto them vnto whom our Sauiour promiseth a milder iudgment in the latter day but like vnto them of whom S. Paule speaketh Rom. 1. Which when they knew God did not honor him as GOD was to be honoured and therfore my damnation had béene the greater if I had persisted But séeing that it hath pleased him which hath preserued mee from my Mothers wombe to call mee to his wonderfull light I desire you all that are héere present to giue him thankes for the same for there is more ioy in heauen before the Angels of God Luk. 15. for the conuersion of one sinner then for
