but as tyrants are commonlie honoured of their parasites and sycophants Thy brother the pope hath the like honor vnto thine that is an honor whose end will be shame and confusion of face for euer The fearefull and contemptible ende that haue beene brought vppon many of them ought to terrifie thee Nay the message of death which the Lord sent lately euen into thine owne house ought to mooue thee and force thee to confesse that thy yeares also yea and dayes are nombred Doctor Perne thou knowest was thy joy and thou his darling Hee was the dragon from whose serpentine breasts thou diddest first drawe this poyson wherewith nowe thou infectest the church of God and feedest thy selfe vnto damnation Hee liued a persecutour an atheist an hypocrite and a dissembler whome the worlde poynted at and he died thou knowest the death due vnto such a life as he ledde thou knowest hee died suddenly euen at thine owne palace of Lambehith when in thine owne judgement he was likelie in regarde of bodilie strength though not of age to out-liue thee And take thou his death for a forewarning of thy destruction except thou repent And these brother Martin with such like points or some of those positions wherwith I could haue thwacked my vncles about the shoulders I weene an I had beene in thy place There is one question more which I woulde haue propounded for mine vncka Bridges his sake O I loue him thou knowest And therefore thus woulde I haue sette downe my proper-sition on his behalfe I Martin Senior Gentleman doe heere protest affirme propound and defend that if Iohn Canturburie will needs haue a foole in his house wearing a wooden dagger and a cockes-combe that none is so fitte for that place as his brother Iohn a Bridges Deane of Sarum And that he viz. Iohn Bridges is by right to displace the other with whō Lambeth now playes the asse and is him selfe to be after a solemne maner according to the booke of ordayning bishoppes and priestes inuested vnto that roome Hauing for his officers and daily attendants these gentlemen following First and formost D. Robert Some for his confessor who also when his maister Iohn Sarum hath no vse of his seruice may be at my Lordes graces commandement to reade the starue-vs booke in his Chappell at Lambeth Secondly if he were not something touched with the coinquinatiō of the flesh I would appoint none but D. Vnderhill to be his Almoner Thirdly Bancroft and drunken Grauate should be the yeomen of his Cellar Anderson a This chaplein robbed the poore mens box at Northampton played the Potters part in the morrice daunce and begotte his maide with child in Leicestershire and these things hee did since he was firste Priest parson of Stepney should make roome before him with his two hand staffe as he did once before the morrice daunce at a market towne in the edge of Buckingham or Bedford shires where he bare the Potters part His two supporters alwayes to leade him by the armes must be sir Lenard Wright and sir Tom Blan o Bedford the one whereof also must carrie his bable and the other a looking glasse for their Maister to see whether his catercappe doth euety way reach ouer his eares and so stand according to his calling As for Mar-Martin and Iohn Fregneuile they alterius vicibus shall be the groomes of his stoole The rest of his officers I referre to the discretion of my father vnto whose censure also I doe humbly submit this conceit of mine And it may be I am bolde to appoint these men their offices who happily are at my fathers direction to giue their attendance where hee hath appointed thē their places But this I le bide by though my father shoulde say nay that Iohn Bridges deserues to haue his place that weares the wooden dagger the cockescombe and the copper chaine at Lawbehith I se abide by it come what wil of the matter The next thing that we are to consider brother Martin is a more just reprehension of the Puritanes then that wherewith thou blamest them For thou findest fault with the Preachers onely and that justly I confesse because they are no more forward in casting off these our popes But I say that with more equitie thou mightest haue blamed both the gentlemen and people together with the Ministers then the Ministers alone For the Ministers although they be faultie yet notwithstanding thou canst not denie but the Gentlemen and people are as deepe in faulte as they are And I woulde wish them both the one the other to take this or some such course as I heere set downe which also for a great parte of it though not all I sawe in a Puritans hand and so came by a coppie of it thinking if I coulde haue heard of my father to let him haue the vse of my copy but now you see I publish it my selfe I would then haue al the Puritans in the land both lordes knights gentlemen ministers and people to become joint suiters in one supplicatiō vnto her Majestie and the Lords of her honorable priuie counsell in these petitions 1 First that there may be a redresse of the great ignorance wherewith our whole land is ouergrowen by placing able and faithfull teachers ouer euery congregation as neere as may be 2 Secondly that al vnlawful and sinful callings may be remoued out of our ministerie church 3 Thirdlie that the church within her Majesties dominions may bee gouerned by these offices and officers onelie which the Lorde Christ Iesus hath set downe in his worde 4 Fourthlie that for the quiet and orderlie taking vp of these controuersies which are risen in our church concerning the gouernement and ceremonies thereof betweene our Prelates and those learned men which are contrary minded vnto them there might be had a quiet meeting of both the parties and the controuersies determined on their side who shall be found to deale for and not against the trueth Or if this fourth petition cannot take place I would haue this in the steade thereof viz.
