he maye destroye therby his natyue countrey of England being in that behalf incomparably worse than any pagan And besydes his pestylent treason his vnkyndnesse against the kynges maiestie who broughte hym vp of a chylde and promoted both hym and restored his bloude beinge attaynted to be of the peres of this realme and gaue hym money yerely oute of his coffers to fynde hym honourably at study maketh his treason myche more detestable to all the worlde and hym to be reputed more wylde and cruell than any tygre ¶ But for all this thou englyshe manne take courage vnto the and be nothynge affrayd Thou hast god on thy syde who hath gyuen this realme to the generation of englyshemen to euery man in his degre after the lawes of the same thou hast a noble victorious and vertuous kynge hardy as a lyon who wyll not suffre the to be soo deuoured by suche wylde beastes only take an englyshe hart vnto the and mystruste not god but trust firmely in hym And surely the ruine intended ageynst the shall fall in their owne neckes that intende it And feare not though the dyuell and his disciples be agaynste the. for god thy protectoure is stronger than he and they and shall by his grace gyue hym and them a fall ¶ And to shewe vnto the that god is on thy syde consyder that it is written in the vi chapter of the prouerbes that amongest many crimes there rehersed that god hateth chiefly he dothe deteste those persones that sowe dyscorde amonge theyr bretherne As all we christen men be brethern vnder our heauenly father Also it is written in the .viii. chapter of Iohn y t those that do stire men to murder be childern of the dyuell whiche was frome the begynnynge of mankynde a murderer and brought Adam to synne and therby to deathe As the Iewes his childer stirred the people to put Christ to deth saynt Paule also in the last chapiter to the Romaynes warneth thē to be ware of those that do make dissention debate among them ageynste the doctrine that he hadde taught them and byddeth them eschewe their company Wherin the holy gooste wrought in Paule for these many yeres paste lyttell warre hath ben in these partes of Christendome but the bysshop of Rome eyther hath ben a styrrer of it or a nouryssher of it and seldome any compounder of it onlesse it were for his ambition or profite ¶ Wherfore sens as saynte Paule saithe in the .xiiii. chapter of the fyrste epystel to the Corinthians that god is not god of dissension but of peace who commaundeth by his worde peace alwayes to be kepte we are sure that all those that goo about to breake peace betwene realmes and to brynge them to warre ar the chylder of the deuyll What holy names soo euer they pretende to cloke their pestilent malyce withall whiche clokynge vnder hypocrisy is double dyuellisshenes and of Christe moste detested bycause vnder his blessed name they do plaie the deuyls parte And therfore sens Christ is on our syde agaynst them let vs not feare them at all But putting our confidence in almyghtye god and cleauinge faste to the kinges maiestie our supreme hed in erth next vnder Christ of this church of Englande as faithfull subiectes by goddis lawe ought to do Though they go about to stire Gog and Magog all the rauenors of the worlde ageynst vs. we trust in god verily and doubte not but they shal haue such a ruine ouerthrow as is prophecied by Ezechiel in the .xxxix. chapiter ▪ agaynst Gog and Magog going about to distroye the people of god whome the people of god shall so vanquish and ouer throw on the mountaynes of Israel that none of them shal escape but their carkases there to lye to be deuoured by kytes crowes byrdes of the ayre And if they shal ꝑsyst in their pestilēt malice to make inuasyon into this realme than lette vs wyshe that their great capteyne Gog I meane the bysshop of Rome maye come with theym to drynke with theym of the same cuppe that he maliciously gothe about to prepare for vs. that the people of god myght after surely lyue in peace ¶ And nowe that we haue spoken of disobedience done to man agaynste goddis lawe let vs somewhat speake of disobedience dayly done to god by vs al against goddis law which our disobedience is so greate that the tonge of man can not expresse it for Christe saith in the .xix. chapiter of Matthewe to hym that asked what he shulde do to come to euerlastyng lyfe If thou wylt enter into euerlasting lyfe kepe the commandementes whiche he there rehersed vnto hym whan he asked whyche they were they be written in the .xx. chapiter of Exodi tenne in nomber And bycause I doubte not but ye knowe them for brefenes of tyme I shal omytte to reherse them ¶ In the olde lawe whiche expresseth rewardes temporall for the capacitie of the grosse carnall people of Israell manye worldly pleasures and rewardes be promysed to the kepers of those commandementes and meruaylous great troubles and peynes be threttened to the breakers and transgressours of them All whiche be conteyned in the .xxviii. chapiter of the Deuteronomye in soo myche that in the viii chapyter of that boke the people of Israell is thretned by almyghtye god to be expellyd out of the lande promysed vnto them if they shuld not kepe those commandementes and lawes by hym gyuen vnto them The prophete Dauid saythe also in the .lxxxviii. psalme If the chylder of Dauid leaue my lawes and kepe not my commandementes I shall with a rodde vysite their iniquities and theyr synnes with beatynges But our sauior Christe regardynge the forgetfulnes of mannes memorye leste he shulde not remember the hole nomber of tenne hathe brought them all into two cōmandementes comprysynge in effect the hole tenne of the which two expressed in the .xxii. chapiter of Matthewe the fyrste is Thou shalt loue thy lorde god with al thy hart with all thy sowle with all thy mynde This is the fyrst and greattest commandement conteynyng in it .iiii. commaundementes of the fyrste table whyche be these Thou shalte haue no other goddes in my syght Thou shalte graue noo ymage of thinges that be in heuen aboue or in erthe benethe or in the water vnder the erthe nor with adoration worshyppe them Thou shalte not take the name of god in vayne Thou shalte sanctifie thy sabbotte daye No man wylle breake any of these .iiii. commaundementes that loueth god aboue all thynge ¶ The seconde commaundement gyuen there by Christe is lyke vnto the fyrste that thou shalte loue thy neyghboure as thy selfe Whyche comprehendeth all the vi commandementes of the seconde table whiche be these Thou shalt honoure thy father and thy mother Thou shalte not commytte auoutrie Thou shalte not steale Thou shalt not beare fals witnes Thou shalte not luste to haue thy neyghbours hous nor his wyfe nor his seruāt nor his mayde
