not youre heartes as your● fathers did in the wildernes In thys wyse GOD alwaye● did speake vnto his people fro● tyme to tyme by the mouthe 〈◊〉 ●ys holy Prophetes and there●ore the Prophets of the old law ●re properlye called the voice of GOD. And nowe in the time of ●he newe lawe whyche is the ●ime of grace the holye fathers ●nd preachers of Christes Ca●holicke churche are also called ●he Church voyce of God for Christ speaking to the fathers preachers of his visible kno●ē church whiche is his voice ●oth sai who y t hereth you heareth me Thys church the voice of God teacheth all trueth and this churche is builded vpon the stronge rocke whiche is Christ Then for asmuch as we haue a longe tyme tourned oure eyes from the voice of the visible Catholicke churche of God and disobediently haue folowed the cursed and vnknowen churche of Sathan whose prophets prech lies and vanities leading soules into euerlastynge darckenes it is meter therfore that we whyche I feare do muche yet fauour the same shoulde heare what Christe speaketh of that cursed church Take hede sayeth Christ that no man deceiue you for i● the perilous time many fals prophetes shall come in my name sayinge that I am Christe and shal deceiue mani Be ye not cōpanions of them sayeth saynct● Paule whyche throughe Ipocresy fashiō them selues like vnto the Disciples of Christe For they who hath not the spirite of Christ althoughe they preache● Christ be not of Christ therfore good countrey menne whych a long time obstinately and dysobediently haue forsaken our mother the Catholycke Churche let vs beware of that disceytefull and dysobediente churche of Antichrist Which standeth and is sette in the rotten marrysh of disobedience where it maye not be seene by the lyght of the daye but in the misty night of darcknes and obediently abidynge in the feare of God folowe our lo●ynge mother the Catholycke churche for it is wrytten he is ●lessed that obediently walketh ●n the feare of God And agayn The feare of God is the begyn●inge of wisdome and worcketh ●n mans harte humble obediēs The lacke whereof amonge vs ●ath been the only cause of oure ●all from the vnitye of Christes churche deseruing therfore and for oure ingratitude the greate displeasure of almightye God whiche nowe wee finde beynge daili scorged with mani diuers and sundrye plages not nedefull at thys tyme to be named or rehersed Yf wee therefore woulde open our eyes to that ende that wee whyche nowe are noted throughe all the worlde for oure singularitie to be a people of al others most froward against the true knowen churche of god our naturall Kyng Quene and Maiestrates myghte see oure owne fautes who alonge tyme as Dauyd sayeth haue bene a laughing stocke to al other coūtries and nacions which aboue all other haue bene called Most victorious and also a countrie Moste beautifull of all welthy commodites planted wyth ● most cuiyll and obedient people and now called most sedicious rebellous and disobedient These thinges well considered what Englishe harte can but lamente to see howe far we nowe are from the felinge of these our wealthy commodities and also howe farre wee are in these out daies from that faythfull obedience whyche was among vs in the tyme of oure wealth Sence the which time many of vs haue not onely declared our selues in all our actes vnnatural and disobedient subiectes against oure moost vertuous Quene Quene Mary But also as I haue said against oure mother the catholike churche Wickedly deuising Iestynge and railinge againste al the holy Sacramentes of the same Forgettynge that whiche God wold vs to do seasyng not from these worckes whyche are euel as whordome aduoutrye hatred strife dyssencion sectes and suche like Whose reuenue finall rewarde is euerlastynge dethe And therfore the wise mā sayth my sonne auoid euil kepe thy selfe in the feare of God And the profite Dauid sayeth tourne from euell do good But what sayeth our cursed disobediente libertines euē as Lucifer said among the Aūgels in heauen perswadinge vs that they were the worthy pastors that oughte to syt in the seat of theapostels folowing therein the exāple of the proud disobedient Lucifer and gouerner of their cursed church who proudly sayd I wil ascend be equal with the highest For whose presumpcion disobediēt mīd not he only but al those aūgels that to him did consēt wer● cast down in to the dānable hel And if god therfore did not spare his aungels but for their transgression disobedience did caste them forth of heauen what deserueth then man whō god hath made lyke vnto hym selfe for whose sake hee garnyshed the whole earthe wyth all maner of pleasaunte thynges and yet is disobediente against his Lorde God his annointed Sayncte Paule telleth vs the wrathe of God Whiche is an horible sayinge and yet it is most true as by exāple when God had made Adam a parfyte man set hym in the pleasaunte garden of Paradise wherein was planted al manner of fruite delicyous too eate he sayde vnto Adam of all the fruit in the gardē thou shalt eate one onely excepted whiche deth in the middest of the gardē of that thou shalt not eat if thou eate therof thou shalt dy There was laid before Adam the blessing and the curse The blessyng if he were obediente the curse if he were not obediente so y e god did set before hym good euell to chose of thē whiche he would yet Adam for want of grace at fewe woordes to hym spoken by his wife Eue who before hadde conferred with the subtil serpēt chose that was euil and did eat of the fruite whereof God saide he should not eate disobediently brekynge therby the wyl commaundement of his Lord God whereby they bothe lost the original innocency which they had at their creacion they whyche before were most precyous and pure in the sight of god at now become before god hatefull and odious Thus by y e fals suggestion of the wily dysobedient serpent Man whiche was King Emperoure ouer all lost his soueraintie and so being ouerthro wen was caste into thys vale of miserable wrechednes and so became subiecte vnto death sinne and all other miseries and infirmities Sainct Paule therfore not forgetting the fal of Adam writteth to the Romaynes saying through the disobedience of one man many became sinners soo that dysobedience broughte sinne and sinne broughte deathe vnto Adam and hys hole posteritie Lyke wyse Cayne the first sonne of Adam hauinge a priuie hatred against his brother Abel maliciously slewe him contrarie to the will of hys Lorde God And for so doing he was also accoursed of God so that Cayne for hys disobediēce was wrapped by his euyll fact in y ● chaine of his wickednes For it is wrytten the wycked disobedient man shalbe catched
