about to peruert theÌ„ And euerye man maye se that some for hope of lucre and promotion some for feare of punishment and losse are redy to retourne as dogs to their vomit and swyne to their former puddell As for sutch as al this time haue dissembled now openly declare their cankred stomackes as redye to tourne with euerye winde as any weathercock No marueil of their incoÌ„stantie in religion for their grouÌ„d is not the sure fouÌ„dation of gods word but the slipperie sand of pleasing meÌ„ Ye shal do doutles a goodlie act to serue sutche mens affections and to rebell against gods truth Dout not but at last ye shal haue some cardinals hat for your laboure Achab with his baall and â—emurius gotte to himselfe thre yeares without taine and wher the dogs licked Nabothes blood ther was Achabs blod licked of dogs also And he that spoiled the poore of his vineyarde by gods iust iudgement loste his kingdome with the destruction of all his children Thincke not but god can raise a Hiehue when his pleasure is and will doo it when Achab least loketh for it Though poore Esaias must be counted an heriticke yet god wil auenge his blod and the blood of al his seruants the prophetes that Manasses hath shedde VVe wolde ye wolde rede Helias letter sent to Ioram and consider that ye walking in Iorams wayes may except ye repeÌ„t haue Iorams reward Mathan the high bishop of Baall for his greate paines takeÌ„ in Baals seruyce was at last offred vpon Baals alter But per chauÌ„ce ye wil righte swetely deride this letter and say as Amasias said to the Prophet rebuking him for his Idolatry and saying whi worshippest thou the Goddes that deliuered not their people oute of thy hande he answered Arte thou one of the kynges councel Holde thi peace that Isse the not So you wil say Hold thi peace thou heretike or come fourth to dispute thi matters If ye wil dispute by the holy Scriptures by the Doctors of the primatiue church it is alredi profred vnto you but ye know ye can haue none aduaÌ„tage that wai for your owne consience accuseth you that ye are not able to stande either with Scriptures or auncient Doctours to preuaile againste the truthe As litle honoure will come therof to you in disputyng as is alredy wonne in writynge therefore your olde argumentes which your preachers now at Poules crosse most earnestly beat into the peoples heades are suresby fyre faggot dispatcheth at once but happie were ye that such argumentes were not made againste you well then marke what the Prophet answerd Amasias at his departing and know certainly it wil come to passe The hande of the Lorde is not shortned Thongh our iniquities at this present haue iustly prouoked his anger ouer vs he will at laste pitie vs for his sonne Christe our lordes sake And we nothiÌ„g doubt but as he his al mightie can deliuer so he his al ful of goodnes and wil saue all that trust in his mercie and call vpon him day and night And thankes to God the people hathe other eyes then they haue had in times past The holy woord of god hathe not been all so baren as you woulde it had been Men haue some knowledge beetwene a latine satisfactori popishmasse and Christes CommunioÌ„ truly ministred according to the ghospel Though you bost chastitie of pristes men know a difference betwene a single lyfe a chast life It is not Vii yeares since some of your vnmaried pristes yea as it said one of your great doctors wer complained on for their hote chastitie that bournt a woman Men remember yet since some pristes were indicted for getting wemen with childe and murdering the childreÌ„ when thei were borne Oh horrible chastitie to be suffered amonge Christians â–ª God doubtles will viset these thinges in due time as he visited the sinnes of the wicked before time Marke how He rod was eaten with wormes Nero slew himselfe Iulianus confessed Christ in death against his wyl Antiochus stanke aboue the earth But to come nerer our daies More aÌ„d Fisher with frier Forest other desperatly died in the conteÌ„pt of the gospel Dudleia disceitful tirant deceiued with hope of pardoÌ„ blasphemed the gospel at the hour of death of whom ye make a piller to staie vp youre Church Beware of the siÌ„ne against the holy gost which shal not be forgeuen in this worlde not in the worlde to come Those that dispise Moses die without redemption vnder two or .iii. witnesses but howe sorer punnishment remaineth for theÌ„ that tread vnder fote the bloud of the newe testament and rayle vppon the spirit of grace Once again we beseche you for Iesus Christes sake and for the hope of the life to come aÌ„d for the iudgement that we all must come afore remember these thinges and think that he that wrote this for your admonishion loketh for no preferment at your haÌ„d but writeth it if perchauÌ„ce ye be not altogether a damnable desperate ye may conuert to God reuereÌ„ce his holi word geue place to his truthe be saued froÌ„ the wrath of god that is to come God grauÌ„t vs al mercie and grace to
