with a company of strangers for an inuasiō how that Stukeley had beene imployed to the same purpose had he not been as false to the Pope as he was to his Soueraigne These the like considerations at what time I was first committed prysoner into the Counter made me to suspect mine owne cause quarrell that I had taken in hand and God assisting mee with his grace I humbled my selfe and did write a Letter of submission vnto an honorable Counseller of this Realme vnto whom I dyscouered my knowledge of such vile horrible practises as I did knowe to be intended against her Ma. and the state I dislyked the Pope his Religson that noseled men vp in such abhominanable treasons and desired to be better enstructed in matters of faith and saluation and that I might come vnto a more true and godly profession then before I was brought vp in My petition was fauourably accepted I was not only pardoned mine offences but I was also restored into grace and fauour And thys was the first time Thus hauing declared the first principall cause that moued me to forsake the Pope and to exchange my religion I shall in a woord or two set downe the causes that made mee to fall backe againe the which next vnto the prouidence of almightie God that so had appointed it was as I breefly repeated in my recantation my corrupt affection For hauing all the dayes of my life been trayned vp among Papists enstructed in their Schooles and hearing continuallye their Sermons reading their Bookes and giuing my minde little or nothing vnto the studie of holy Scriptures refusing alwayes either to heare or to read any thing that might contrary my first conceiued opinion and hauing all my freendes acquaintance of the Papists parte thinking that I should be left desolate and naked when I were departed from them and hauing more regard vnto the shame obloquie of the world for altering my religion then vnto the testimony of a good conscience for my godly and wel doing and not being so thankfull vnto almightie God for so great a benefit receiued as I ought or so carefull to preserue my selfe from the daunger of falling into the like offence agayne not hauing my soule thorowlye clensed from the dregges of corrupt affection And falling into the companye of such as I could not bee but greatly endangered by them partly by perswasion and partly by flatterie partlye by fayre promises partly by intreaty I was at the length so bewitched as forgetting my dutie vnto God my allegeance vnto my Prince and looue vnto my Countrey I condiscended to returne vnto the Pope agayne and then God with-drawing from me his grace I was not so well minded before as I became nought corrupt afterward nor did not so well acknowledge a truthe shew a repentaunce and make a submission as I endeuoured afterward to heape lye vpon lye in slaundering of my selfe in defending the Pope and in vndooing of all the good which before I had doone In the which minde after that I had framed an Epistle vnto her Ma. for to excuse the Pope his Seminarie Priests and to father slaunders on my selfe other men and had written an Apologie and other Libels to that effect I was speedilie conuaied out of the Realme thinking first to haue trauailed to Rheames and afterwarde to Rome And directing first my course into Scotlande for that I feared to finde anie secure passage at any English Porte I came to Leeth of purpose there to take shypping for Fraunce but finding no passage readie I tooke the next opportunitie offered mee in a Flie-boate to Hamborough in the which after I had sayled fiue or sixe daies and comming neere vnto lande behold there happened such a suddaine tempest storme that neither Maister Mariner or passenger thought euer that hee shold haue escaped drowning I seeing the imminēt perrill and danger I called to memorie the dysobedient fact of Ionas who beeing commaunded of God to goe vnto Nin●uie transported himselfe towardes Tharsis who with the like tempest was punished of almightie GOD for his transgression I applyed the example vnto my selfe I thought I had greeuouslie offended in forsaking my Countrey falsifying my faith vnto GOD and my Prince I vowed that if it would please God to deliuer mee from that present danger and to saue the whole company that they might not perrish for mee I woulde desist my purposed iourney and returne againe into Englande with what perril soeuer To be short it pleased God to heare my petition wee came safe to Hamborough where after I had remained awhile I repayred vnto her Ma. Comissioners that were come thether who can beare witnes of my repentaunce Not long after I came back of mine owne accord into England and submitted my selfe vnto her Maiesties mercie Her highnes graciouslie pardoned mine offence and so was I restored vnto grace againe and this was the second time Good Lord what should be the cause of my fall againe O altitudo diuitiarum sapientiae et scientiae Dei O wonderfull depth of Gods profounde Iustice and iudgments My time was not yet come that I was to bee called effectuallie something yet remained that God would haue perfected and doone for the further aduauncement of his glorie for the which hee permitted me to fall more miserably thē before I had done And like as Peter became worse worse in the denying of his Maister and neuer repented him vntyll Christ looked backe vppon him againe euen so became I worse then euer before I had beene and was past all hope almost of repentaunce had not Christ looked backe vppon me in the very last moment of time for being fallen into the peruersitie of my former opinion neither feare of death shame of the world long imprisonment could once alter mee but if I had beene called vnto my tryall anie time within halfe a yeere after I had I thinke died as obstinatlie as anie before me had doone Howe it pleased God at the last to conuert me I haue set downe in my recantation I neede not heere report it againe thus much I thought good to make a supplie of that which if time had permitted me shoulde haue beene deliuered at such time as I made my publike recantation the which once I had thought altogether to haue concealed but that I remembred that Secretum Regis abscondere bonum est opera autem Dei reuelare honorificum that is To conceale the secret of the King is a good thing but to manifest the wonderfull workes of almightie God is a most honorable thing Now come I to the second cause to giue thee Gentle Reader a fuller satisfaction that my former recantation hath beene doone without all hypocrisie or dyssimulation As my recantation was publicke and before an honourable worshipfull and woorthy assembly so I hope that their harts were so mooued that most of them we●e enclined vnto pittie compassion howbeit
