the newe learnynge many euil mē T. It was most trew brother Eusebius and can not be denyed For there were in hel no veryer deuils thē many of thē were that professed the gospel for otherwyse there could haue ben no couler of these lyes and slaunders that are now spred as is said before For it was Iudas that bare the pouche it was Iudas that betraied hys master and many Iudasses in England vnder the pretence of religiō robbed both Kynge and realme these iudasses filled their own pouches made thēselues riche noble they care not who rule so long as they may geat enioye their possessions E. Well brother Theophilus here are no more but you I I dare be bolde herein to tel you my mind For I know you vnderstād in it as muche as I more to I dare say you do with as great a gref behold it sorow it as any English heart wil doe I heare say the king of Spayne shal at last be crouned kyng of Englād what say you to that T Alas brother Eusebius what should I say to it If god haue determyned who maye wythstande we muste commyt it to his good pleasure and wyll E. But do you not thynke it a plage T. Yes verely and an vtter desolacion of Englishe bloud E. Oh lord what meaneth thys T. I wyll tell you brother Euse The almightie god hath frō the beginning wrytten his wil and law not in tables of stone onely neyther in bokes of paper and ynke but also in the heartes of men as it is wrytten I wryte my lawes in theyr heartes and I wyl be theyr god and they shal be my people But leste any mā should dreame of these lawes and faine other in theyr stede they were written in tabels of stone and after in bokes of paper and inke so that to this day they are deuided and knowē from mens lawes And for our better instruccion herein the onely begotten sonne of God oure Lord Iesus Chryst hath accordyng to the fathers promyse stablyshed and confyrmed a new testament wherin he hath opened playnely the mysteries of Moyses law and the Prophetes not to breake them as the false Phariseis falsly reported of hym but to fulfyl them in executing thys hys new testament The which sound doctryne of health the world alwayes spurned at as they doe yet to thys daye And althoughe it were for a tyme suffered here in Englande by the prouidence of god and most earnestly preached and published yet was there that spurned at it and many abused it for there libertie for couetous lucre and such lyke many warninges we had for both partyes to amende but it woulde not be wherfore seeing we woulde not receaue hym but despise hym stil as the Iewes dyd we shal likewyse be destroyed as they were I se no other remedy E. God be merciful vnto vs but yet I meruayle that our nobilitie suffereth it T Why man ye must vnderstande that your catholykes nowe beare the rule youre prelates of the Churche haue al the doynges of these matters and ye knowe they hauinge none inheritaunce but for their liues beyng without wife and children rather then they would be brought down agayne as they were in king Edwardes dayes they had rather the Turke had the rule and gouernement therof E. I maye saye to you Theophilus they are shroudly suspected in this matter and I feare me not without good cause But yet I meruayle of the councellours who being put in trust with the gouernment and maye let the proceding hereof what shoulde moue them to consente thereunto T. As I may thynke my selfe assured of you as you of me and maye as boldely speake also my mynde to you as you to me and although faythful frendeship be vtterly banished thys Realme so that one brother al most cannot trust another yet frendship lurketh in corners secretely And I thynke my selfe safe with you brother Eusebius Your faythfulnes is to me so wel knowe I wil therfore show you what I coniecture to be the cause of their agrement a lamentable case it is and wyth great so row and grefe must I tel you herein my mind They be men that be louers of themselues yet they are so blinded with this self loue that they neither can foresee the miserable state of theyr coūtry neither yet their owne destruccion they dreame as Pope Iulius dyd who as the fabel telleth commaunded Sainct Peter to open heauen gates dreamyng himselfe to be Pope styll These men dreame that the King of Spaine wil make them alwaye of hys chefe counsel but. c. They haue been of King Harry the eightes coūcel broughte vp of meane men the moste parte Wherby they should be accōpted noble I know not For they excell not in learning and knoweledge they haue showed no greate proues of armes theyr loue to a common wealth is nowe declared But they be so infected with ambiciō that loke what pleaseth the affecciō of the Prince pleaseth also them For in King Henryes daies they were sworne to abolishe the popes supremacy with his vsurped power yea and they prosecuted the matter earnestly as it appered right wel for many lost theyr liues for the same Whē Kyng Henry was deade Kyng Edwarde hys sonne by the meanes of hys vncle then Lorde protectour subuerted al the Popes religion put down masse and altogether wherewithall they were well contented and set forewarde the matter withoute any scruple of conscyence I warrante you And many goodly lawes they lette make as wel for the mayntenaunce of that religion as also for the preseruacion of a commen wealth and before Kyng Edwarde was fullye dead they had concluded also with the Duke of Northumberlande vnder pretence of the stablishing of that religion and other goodly consideracions as it were to make hym Kyng contrary to al right and contrary to all the statutes of parlemente and so woulde haue disheryted the Quene that nowe is agaynste her fathers wil agaynst theyr own lawes agaynst all their othes and promise and without any iust cause at that time And al this notwithstanding whē they sawe how the game would goe they were contented to serue the Quenes wyll and nowe haue they sworne backe agayne to the holy father I heare say now agayne wheras the Quene goeth about not onely to breake her fathers wil and al such lawes statutes as were made for the preseruacion and safegarde of thys realme but is also determined of a selfe wyll to brynge England into the subieccion of a foren Prynce they haue not onely consented and agreed but are also chefe doers and procurers thereof for god hath blynded theyr eyes and theyr vnderstanding so that they cannot see nor perceaue their own destruccion and yet euery child seeth and euery good heart mourneth at it ful heuely E. Now surely Theophilus you haue spokē as trewe as the gospell for if he be once stablished King he may without contradiccion furnishe
