the potter dothe not make all his vessels for one vse or purpose but diuerse vessels to serue for diuerse vses according to the will of the maker And therfore it is Gods will and also the counsell of the Apostle that euery man should abide and walke in hys vocation and calling And nowe good syr to conclude for that I haue euer hearde well dothe knowe that you haue bene faythfull in your office and iustelye hath walked in your vocation I haue therfore dedicate this my simple worke in your name therby declarynge my good wyll towardes the maynteynaunce of the true religion and also to do some thing to pleasure you yf it were in my simple power But to conclude as I haue sayde I beseche you good syr consider my good wyll and lette it stande for a iuste facte Iesus preserue you AS I laye musing in my bedde alone My pyllowe remouinge For slepe was gone So troubled was my spirite by greuous agonye Consideryng the state and staye of our beleue The ofte chaunging therof christen hartes doth greue Which standeth in no staye it is the more pitie God geue vs grace our lyues to amende And true fayth in Englande agayne sende For lacke of grace we haue gone astraye Ensuing the steppes of wickednes alwaye Our soules and bodyes by synne is corrupted The thinges that of olde to God was begonne We fondely agayne haue them fordonne The badde for the good vnsemely placed Experience hath taught vs it is well knowen That euil men haue reped that good men haue sowen When Adam dyd lyue with Eue his wyfe The serpent begonne to sowe some stryfe Betwene our lorde and the soule of man Perswadyng the woman of the appell to eate Promysyng her wysedome therby to gette Where sinne was vnknoweÌ„ there then it began Thus by the breakyng of Gods coÌ„maundement Mans soule was caught captyue by death to shent When Abell and Cayne fyrst dyd begynne Of their fruites to offer y t then were growinge On the earth to the lorde in worthy sacrifyce Cayn slewe Abell there in that stede With the Iawe bone of an Asse as we reade Because the lorde dyd hys oblation despyse When oblation and sacrifice here first beganne The deuill set stryfe betwene man and man As the people beganne to encrease in number With vnclennes theyr soules they dyd incuÌ„ber That God dyd repent that euer he made man And for that they would not repent amende The rayne from heauen to y e earth dyd ascende Wherwith was distroyed all creatures than Thus was the worlde destroyed for synne But Noye hadde an Arcke to saue hym in When the floude was ended then Noye gods preacher Beganne fyrst to buylde to God an Iultare Whereon he dyd offer swete incense sacrifice Which was so well accepted to God in heauen That he sayde he would neuer dystroye agayne All creatures from the earth by glage or otherwise Then aultares was vsed as the bokes doth tel Of the Leuites patriarkes prophetes gospel The Aungell to Abram from the lorde was sent That Isaac his sonne in sacrifice should present Vnto the lorde for so was his wyll Abram then stode not this message to reason But went with his sonne wyth all expedition Vnto the mounte there Isaac to kyll To sacrifice his sonne Abram was content As the lorde him selfe had geuen coÌ„maundemeÌ„t Here maye you se thoughe some will prate The aulter and sacrifice was not deuised of late As the stories olde dothe truely tell When Hanna the baren dyd fast and praye And sacrifice to the lord as the storye doth saye He gaue hyr a sonne that hyte Samuell With prayer and oblation God was pleased The troubled hart he therfore hath eased When the Citezins of Niniue wickedly did liue Ionas was sent them warning to geue Within fortye dayes there subuersion to be The Kyng in all the hast sent commaundement then That all shoulde repent both woman and man Their clothes not rendinge but their hartes inwardely Thus by repentaunce the Citie was saued By prayer and fastynge their paynes released Israell beynge plaged with mortall Pestilence Bauyd it knew it was for his insolence From numberyng the people from Dan to Bersaba Then Dauid did cause to reare vppe an aultare Wherevnto the lord he did sacrifice and offer To cesse the plage of Israell and Iuda When the people of olde the lorde had offended By sacrifice acceptable their sinnes they clensed Salamon the kyng and most wise of fame Builded a temple to Gods honour and name With ryches aboundant he dyd it beautyfye Ceder Oliue palme tree there was not skant Tynne Copper Syluer nor Golde did there wante Neyther stones precious or ornamentes costely Of sockes and lauers there was many a one All of bryght brasse they were made eche one An aultare of Golde vnto the lorde he made A tabell of the same where the swete bread was layde And Candelstickes ten on the aulcare standing The lampes and flowers of golde were pure Boules peces spones and euerye masure Rychely was wrought for no coste sparinge Here may you see that the good fathers of olde Destroyed no Aultares but made some of golde Many very fondly in argument doth stande That God doth not dwell in temple made with hande As though the scripture ment so playnely The heauens whole earth are insufficient God to attayne or kepe a tyme or moment But where his will is there will he be Yet is the churche an house to God buylded A place for his name there euer to be praysed Some thyng it is but labour loste To bestowe on the churche one peny of coste In Cope crosse or vestiment or any other iewel For sacrifice or offeringe God doth not care To fede the hungrye and the oppressed to spare Of suche good workes the scrypture doth tell This do they surmyse deuotion to oppresse Counterfeyting holynes and meaning nothing lesse Christ hym selfe at his byrth was contente To receaue of the kynges their offerynge and present That they in the stable to hym dyd offer And when he was of twelue yeares of age He came with his mother and his father sage To offer in Ierusalem accordyng to the maner Thus our lorde Iesus would not in no wise Offend the lawe thoughe we it despyse Christ knowyng ryght well his death to drawe neare He sent for an Asse as it doth well appeare Theron for to ryde to Ierusalem wyllingly Some cutte downe bowes and before him they strawed Some put of their garmentes in the way theÌ„ layed Syngynge altogether Osanna God on hye God was contente the people shoulde adore With Body and goodes he gaue it therfore In all tymes past suche was the Conclusion When scysmes hathe bene then true Religion Was falsely peruerted as the booke sayes Since the time that Peter in Rome dyd rayne There hath bene scysmes twenty and twayne This now excepted

begonne in oure dayes Lyke to this scysme in this Realme neuer was With so great destruction to sone now alas Fiftene hundred yeares past we in writing find Synce Lucy was Kyng of Englande by kynde Whyche sent to the Pope called Elentherius That he woulde send or els sone come This Realme to coÌ„uerte to holy Christendome Which sent Damian with his fellow Forganus Then was this Realme to Christ conuerted Which we agayne hath falsely subuerted Although froÌ„ Rome these preachers were sent To Christen this Realme by y â— Kinges consent Shoulde we therfore our fayth agayne denye Christ in BethleeÌ„ Iurie a poore citie was borne In stable amoÌ„g beastes y t fedde were with corne Should this dimynyshe his power or his glorie To gods pleasure wil huÌ„ble soules shuld ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ To his

ordeined by y e Apostles whole coÌ„sent According to the auctoritie that God them sent Many nowe dothe muse and fondely can chatte Where Rome this auctoritie fyrst them gatte Synce thay are but men euen as we be This auctoritie to y e place forsoth was not geueÌ„ The holy gost to y e Apostles was sent froÌ„ heaueÌ„ Them to ende we with power and auctorytie Whych ordeined by lotte the Apostle Mathias To be on the stede of the traytoure Iudas Thus had the Apostles power as you may see To ordeine in y e churche ministers of eche degre The people to gods lore and rules for to call In al publike weales wher good order is skant There loue rest and ryches doth euer want And sodenly are trapped in daungerous thrall That realme or monarche can not long endure Where good order doth want you may be sure The shyppe without guyde longe can not saile Neyther can the puisantes of men preuayle Withoute good rule and order decente In tyme all thynges hadde their begynnyng And so in tyme
