A01657	A godly inuectiue in the defence of the Gospell against such as murmure and woorke what thei can that the Bible shoulde not haue free passage, veray necessary to be red of euery faythfull Christian.	Gerrard, Philip.	1547 (1547)	STC 11797; ESTC S103091	27,823	80

Byble they that marke well sentences of grauitie and worthy notacion wyl not put reasoÌ„ vnder foote and bee soo madde as to stretche their hand against the promoting of the gospell It is a token of a pestilente and wycked heart to murmure at suche as reade it For the time of them is gloriouse that gloriously spend it and cursed are they that lyue ignoraunte as brute beastes It semeth that suche esteme the hight and supreme wisedom of god to be vanities surely we ought to celebrat those daies with high ioye whan we once here tell that the ignorant sort geue ouer their enuious trauails against the Byble For then thei shall be greatly desired beloued and well named emongest al men theÌ„ shal sedicion and discorde take their leaue and enter no more in place Pitie it is that their yl intentes shuld condemne the Godly thinges that haue ben writen to winne them they ought to yeld and giue greate thankes to God that thei are deliuered froÌ„ Romishe auctoritie If they wold now shake of their old and dusty tradicions abate their depraued malice they mighte restore again their glorious fame and haue estimacion loue and fauour in steade of infamie shame and disdain Surely it were a thyng most pleasaunt in Goddes syght to see theÌ„ and the rude multitude florish in his word for in some places yet as great is the necligeÌ„ce of the people as the ignorance of preistes And that they thus continewe weake wittes be not the cause but very slouthe and malice whiche cause them to folowe the corrupcion of auncient custome and to set their heartes altogyther on pleasure idlenes Thei thus folowyng their owne wilful intentes pulle doune styll the estimacioÌ„ of preistes And yf they would leaue the wyles of the worlde that nowe flocke togither styffely in blyndnesse appliyng their wittes to eÌ„domage other with their restye lyues cause sedicion and sclaunder vnto good ministers then myght Englande auaunce it selfe and saie Now shal I florishe and haue fauoure in goddes syght Nowe shall I be valiaunt in vertues worthy great fame For now there be none to troble and vex the poore sort peceable people bent to the gospell Nowe shal science augmente and men wyll drawe to the byble Truely I could neuer hete Antique historie alledged that men shuld not knowe it Now I shal weaken the hertes of mine enemies and make theÌ„ stande in dreade they wyll feare me more for my knowledge theÌ„ for al my valeaunt conquestes Now the heard hearted that were in credite and spred abroade the traines of supersticiouse doctrine and with blynd flattery begiled the symple sorte wyl do seruice for my common weale They wyll remember that men are but beastly by nature and Godly by their cunnyng knowledge And yet to saie further I haue often desired to haue vyces restrained and vertues augmeÌ„ted that it wil now come to passe I haue a full trust for my drad soueraigne lord and supreme head Kyng Edward the sixt beginneth to be stable in the Lord and couragiouse in his woord and all his people within this his noble realme lyke louing subiectes be obedient vnto his grace perfectly taughte theyr duetie and obeisaunce Often EnglaÌ„d hath been in perill and daungier wheÌ„ the people were weake faint and dull of vnderstandyng by whose meane it somtime hath loste the supreme heade and gouernour to it great sorowe and care But the pytiefull losse of noble Kyng Ihon shoulde perse euery mannes heart most sore and by what traiterous traines through false pretence he was caste awaie it is necessarye to be knowen whose noble and valiaunt vertues worthely to extoll I suppose no tongue is able That noble Kyng was soo broughte vppe in vertuouse and Godly bokes and toke such great trauell in the scriptures that thereby he espyed how the glorie of God was shamefully dusked and defaced with wicked tradicions supersticioÌ„ and Idolatry thinges most intollerable Then he quickely like a prince of courage and noble hearte spake openlye he wold redresse the pompe and glorie of the cleargie the gospell shuld haue free passage let them al saie what thei lust TheÌ„ they like a multitude of traiters turned themselfes from naturall subiectes into beastly rebelles They were soone confederate togyther lyke vile and detestable wretches to bluddie theyr handes on Goddes holy annoynted their deere soueraigne Lorde and gouernour al to mainteine Romysh auctoritie And to their dampnable intentes there wanted no trayterouse traynes for whan they coulde not deuise howe to kyll hym neyther with sword nor dagger they inuented policie Their daily ragyng and maliciouse heartes were neuer at quietnes tyll they had encouraged with theyr pestilent perswasions a sturdy blacke Monke to take saie vnto his grace of a poysoned cuppe when his highnesse valiauntly came into a certain Abbey where he stode in doubte and suspection of no man for al the brethren receaued him lyke Ipocrites fayned theÌ„ selfes mery ioyeouse outward but were sorowefull within They vsed ioyeful wordes but bare wicked heartes Thei sorowed not for repentance but at the sight of his graces presence whiche greued their heartes full sore then the Pryour archetectour of this heinouse treason and father of al mischefe espiyng oportunite of tyme brought in the Monke with his poysoned cuppe Oh Lord I maruel that his intrels dyd not breake to offre so fylthy a draughte to so noble a King I maruayl how his maliciouse hand for terrour sorow could hold the cup from fallyng Wonder it was that feare of god speach of people and shame of the world dyd not restrayn his propensed and wycked heart from that terryble draught deeathly vnto the Kyng and dampnable vnto hymselfe A wickeder deede and a more myserable myschefe hathe not been heard of O maliciouse and vnhappy Monkes O wretches I dare saie

they would haue restreigned their cankerd stomackes froÌ„ consent to murder their kyng If they had read the historye of kyng Dauid and Saul and noted wel what reuerence loyall obeysaunce Dauid shewed vnto Saull although he knewe that he was a kyng vtterly cast of and refused of god If thei had marked also the wonderfull woordes and high displesure that king Dauid toke with his seruaunte whiche came vnto him either lokyng for herty thaÌ„kes orels some great reward and said he had killed Saull The gentle heart of Dauid arose so at his woordes and grudged so sore at that heinouse dede that
