sir I haue learned of them that that will doo me good I hope Demetri What is that Pandoch I haue learned howe to course our Preacher and hee shall be sure of it and though it cost mee the price of a tunne of wine Demetri Why what dooth he that deserueth coursing Pandoeh What Hee setteth men together by the eares the towne was neuer at quiet since he came he teacheth such doctrine as some doo like and some not and so they fall at variance Demetri I pray you tell me some particulars of the worst of all Pandoch This for one our towne standeth on vittelling because it is a thorow-fare and he preacheth against good fellowship which hee calleth drunkennesse and against playing at cardes and tables wherein if he might haue his will I and my neighbors might go on begging within one twelue-moneths and he hath so preuailed that I take not so much by foure poundes in a weeke as I was woont to doo yea I haue had ten shillings of one man in a weeke for drincke onelie that will nowe scarce spend three but I will looke vnto him Demetri Well mine hoste deceyue not your selfe I perceiue that you and I are in a wrong boxe you are an enimy to the Preacher because hee speaketh against your vnlawfull gaine and so was I yesterday with him that tooke the same course to amend me and I thought he had spoken falsly because hee was a Puritan and when I came to heare my matter debated the bishop disalowed my course and yet tooke my part And why Because I might defend him in his vnlawfull calling But I see their ingling well inough and if the man wyth whome I was so offended be not gone I will talke further with him for I perceiue that hee meant better vnto mee than they did Pandoch I perceiue we shall haue a Puritan of you if you would so faine speake with him hee is but newe gone out at the gate you may ride after him but as for our Preacher I will in hande with him because I cannot tell howe I shall else gaine and maintaine my selfe as heretofore I haue doone Dixi. THE CONCLVSION BRethren ye see by lamentable experience howe iniuriously the church of GOD in England is d●al●e withall by taking away and stopping the mouthes of their faithful teachers and by thrusting vppon vs vnlearned and vnsufficient menne which neither haue wil nor abilitie with wholsome barking to driue away the wolfe but ●ontrariwise dooth giue priuie encouragement vnto the enemie to continue in his wickednesse whereby the churche of God is assailed most daungerouslie and Sathan dooth not cease by all meanes possible to ouerthrowe that good worke which is begunne in England and therefore it behooueth vs brethren to looke about vs and not to suffer the ennemie to growe so strong against vs if by anie meanes wee may let and hinder his wicked enterprises And now my brethren what is to bee doone on our partes Surely I am one of the simplest of a thousand to giue aduise to proceede in any good course in so waightie a matter But this in my iudgement were a good way eueu to ioyne our selues together so manie as feare GOD and to frame our moste humble supplication vnto hir Highnesse shewing vnto hir Maiestie the greate dammage and losse that the Churche dooth sustayne for that they can not haue the voyces of their faithfull pastors which haue diligently and with great paines labored to drawe men backe from superstition and the false worship of God vnto the true and sincere worship of his maiestie and laying downe before vs most purely the doctrine of the Scriptures to the end that we shoulde know what wee ought to doo and what to leaue vndoone leading vs as it were euen by the hand to the true worship of God and our loyall dutie vnto her Maiestie and al hir officers And these men we can not tell by what meanes are letted and stopped from dooing those notable dueties of their calling and are not permitted to speake anie more vnto vs in the name of the Lord whereby we hir poore subiects sustaine great dearth and scarcitie euen to the foode of our soules Therefore wee hir loyall subiects most humbly do entreate her Highnesse that shee would looke vpon the affliction of the poore Church and let vs haue our true teachers restored vnto vs againe And so we hir subiects should yeelde continual thanks vnto hir highnesse praieng vnto GOD alwayes for hir prosperitie And our brethren if this way shall bee thought good when there shal be some aduise taken vpon it Then to choose out some fitte man that can indite and frame our supplication one that feareth God that hath a feeling of this plague in his heart as the Scripture speaketh I meane of the want lacke of these good preachers And this beeing doone then to appoint other godlie and honest men to present our supplication two or three as it shall bee thought good vnto you and the rest to aide them with money or in what other daunger may fall out so that they present it in the name of the whole congregation or otherwise if it shal be thought good first to moue our sute vnto some of the Byshops as Winchester or Salisburie or both or anie other that you shall thinke good I beseech you let vs not sit still when wee are touched so neer but as those good men haue ventured their libertie and liuing for our good so let vs take some paines for them to aduenture some daunger of reproofe or what else may fall out Better is the day of death saith Salomon than the day of birth man that is borne of a woman liueth but a shorte time and is replenished with many miseries but happie are the dead that die in the Lord. Man is borne of woman in trauel to liue in miserie man thorough Christ doth die in ioy and liue in felicitie Hee is borne to die dieth to liue Straight as he commeth into the worlde with cries hee vttereth his miserable estate straight as he departeth with songs he praiseth God for euer Scarce yet in his cradle three deadlie ennemies assault him after death no aduersary can anoy him whilest hee is heere hee displeaseth God when he is dead he fulfilleth his will In this life heere he dieth thorow sinne in the life to come he liueth in righteonsnes thorough many tribulations in earth he is still purged with ioy vnspeakable in heauen is he made pure for euer heere hee dieth euerie houre there hee lyueth continually heere is sinne there is righteousnesse heere is time there is eternitie hecre is hatred there is loue heere is paine there is pleasure heere is miserie there is felicitie heere is corruption there is immortalitie heere we see vanitie there shall wee beholde the maiestie of God with triumphant and vnspeakable ioye in glorie euerlasting Seeke therefore the things that are aboue where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God the father to whom with the sonne and the holie ghost be al honour and glorie worlde without ende Amen
