B21152	The increase of popery in England, since the reformation made by King Henry VIII shewing the great encouragement that priests, Jesuits, and other promoter of that bloudy religion have had from persons of power and authority, the discouragements and notorious hardships, even to silencing, and banishment from cities and corporations, that have been the portion of many able and faithful Protestant ministers, that have eminently opposed it : with an essay towards what may possibly befall the Churches of Christ from the hellish contrivances and damnable plots of Romish emissaries : with a faithful extract out of the most authentick records of the most memorable things referring to the reformation, viz. Henry VIII, his reasons given in his proclamation for taking away the Popes usurped power, his protestation against the pope, his injunctions to his clergy, Bishop St[e]phen Gardener's oath or protestation, and his reasons against the Popessupremacy in England and the publick agreement of the whole clergy of England, as confirmed and ratified in the book called the Bishops book, published in the year 1534 / by ..

fierceness_n it_o be_v that_o they_o return_v upon_o you_o with_o the_o great_a fury_n when_o you_o shall_v less_o think_v of_o it_o for_o their_o whole_a trade_n be_v deceit_n and_o violence_n though_o satan_n transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n yet_o still_o be_v he_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o these_o his_o follower_n be_v exact_o like_o he_o both_o to_o

deceive_v let_v they_o be_v deceive_v 2._o my_o second_o advice_n be_v that_o none_o either_o plot_n or_o attempt_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o present_a power_n but_o that_o all_o stand_v still_o in_o their_o place_n and_o call_v like_o wiseman_n with_o their_o eye_n in_o their_o head_n quiet_o wait_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o god_n for_o no_o man_n hand_n can_v help_v he_o in_o this_o

moon_n in_o the_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v the_o great_a god_n that_o must_v do_v these_o great_a thing_n it_o be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n that_o reign_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n and_o give_v they_o to_o whosoever_o he_o will_n and_o when_o his_o time_n be_v come_v the_o set_n and_o full_a time_n and_o the_o most_o high_a shall_v utter_v his_o voice_n his_o instrument_n shall_v be_v at_o his_o foot_n ready_a to_o do_v his_o work_n even_o to_o execute_v the_o vengeance_n write_v and_o all_o his_o mighty_a providence_n shall_v concur_v to_o bring_v about_o the_o council_n of_o his_o will._n wherefore_o remember_v that_o man_n rashness_n carry_v ruin_n in_o it_o but_o patience_n perfect_v both_o god_n work_n and_o mans._n in_o patience_n possess_v your_o soul_n wherefore_o all_o that_o we_o will_v do_v if_o we_o may_v be_v hear_v by_o those_o that_o be_v instruct_v to_o help_v at_o this_o needful_a time_n be_v only_o to_o desire_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o
