practised so many things against vs this many yeeres these are the wicked whome the godlie haue feared these are the disturbers haue disquieted this Realme these are the conspirators haue withholden the hearts of the wicked from their loyaltie these are they that if God had not beene on our side would long ere this haue ouerthrowne vs. VVe know that Papistes were authors of rebellion in the North. We know that as in the Shambles men sell meate so in their priuate assemblies haue these wicked ones bothe bought and solde vs of England We know that many a time the Pope hath sent secrete messēgers hether and haue stolne away many of the Subiectes hearts We know that newes hath very often ben brought ouer how the time hath been appointed that King Phillip should haue eaten bread and giuen his Souldiors drink in Lēd●● We know that multitudes of Papists hauing been taken examined and imprisoned for the fame they haue sayd openlie that they hoped one day to see their golden day It is seene of all men what numbers haue beene taken 〈◊〉 Masse in despite of the Gospell It is seene of all howe many haue for treason not onely beene taken but executed in London It is seene of all men that they haue vsed witchcraft sorcerie inchaūtment to destroy the Lordes annointed It is seene how vnquiet her Maiesties Realme of Ireland hath been and all only thorow them It is seen what signes and Crosses the Papistes haue had brought ouer as is their Agnus Deis and other Tablets which continually they weare about their necks as tokēs to be known by if time serued And it is seene and perceiued of all openlie how that innumerable Bulles and Pardons haue are continuallie sent ouer by the Pope And can or may true and faithfull Christians see all this and not speake Naie the heauens the earth crie out against them and if both these should cast out their slaine and dead bodies which sometimes the Fathers of these men haue killed in this cōmen wealth vve that liue now were neuer able to abide the yelling and crying the sighing and groning of our Fathers our Mothers Sōnes Daughters Kinsfolk neighbors and of all fortes of people some for the vnspeakeable tormentes wherewith these wicked and vngodlie Baalites haue tormented them And now they thinke the time to be at hand in which they may embrew their handes and a freesh againe be dronken with the blood of righteous men which hope which trust which confidence which desire which practise which sight which thirst of theirs cannot be extinguished if God either stay not their pretended purpose or that some speedy reformation and sharpe discipline be not sought after for these Heretiques And albeit we be ready to pawne bothe our liues and ourbodies in the quarell of the Lord yet haue we a care of the Familie and house of God to keepe the wilde Boare of the wood from deuowring it Vndoubtedlie as Achan troubled Israell Iosh 7.21 in taking of the excommunicate and forbidden thinges so haue these Iesuites with their companions that of late came into this Realme greeuouslie prouoked the Lord and moued vs in bringing ouer their whorishe forbidden and Babilonish garmentes with them Gen. 35.4 True it is that all the Trinckettes and rubbishe they haue is nothing else but Ceraphims and the same straunge Gods or some such beggerlie and vnmeete trashe as the Patriarke Iacob tooke from them of his household when as for very shame he buried them vnder a Terebinth Tree in Schechem Their worshippe is all one with the worshippe of Aaron when he offended in making the golden Calfe Of which sinne committed Moses was so afraide Exo. 32.20 as in the same he let fall the Tables of stone and they brake but Moses dealt with them according to their iniquitie for all that and he stamped the golde of which the Calfe was made off to powder and made the Israelites drinke thereof And this was much that Moses did but Asa the King did more then he 1. Reg. 15.12 For he put away the Sodomites and bannished the Idolaters out of the Lande and he remooued Maacha his mother and disinherited her of Crowne and dignitie for that she offered Sacrifice to Priapus Notwithstanding Iehu did more then did he 2. Re. 10.26 for he killed all the Prophets of Baall and suffered not one of them to liue he defaced the Temple of their Gods and made a Drawght house of it for euer And Iehoiada the heigh Priest 2. Reg. 11.4 together with the yonge Kinge Ioas killed the Idolatresse Athaliah as she fled for her life out of the Temple Ezechias did wonderfull thinges in his dayes and he spared not an Idolater in the Lande How Iosiah delte being but a younge Prince and how he visited and went thorowe the Realme in his owne person the booke of the Cronicles and Kings of Iuda doo declare 2. Reg. 22.8 He put the Idolatrous Priestes to death and was so zealous in the behalfe of his God that he burnt their boanes and sacrificed them vp vpon their owne Altars We are not ignoraunt right Honorable of all the Statutes Ordinaunces and decrees from age to age which the primitiue Churches haue bothe made and confirmed against the Idolaters of there time what the Emperour Constantinus did appeareth in Eusebius Euseb in vita Con. lib. 3. and how he delte in Phaenitia and in Cilitia with the Idolaters Theodosius as witnesseth Theodoretus Theod. lib. 5 cap. 20. did referre all his studie to the suppressing downe of the Idolatrous Gratians And I doo remember that Leo in his Epistle Leo.

¶ TWO GODLIE AND learned Sermons appointed and Preached before the Jesuites Seminaries and other aduersaries to the Gospell of Christ in the Tower of London In which were confuted to their faces the moste principall and cheefe poincts of their Romish and VVhoarish religion And all such Articles as they defend contrarie to the woord of God vvere layed open and ripped vp vnto them In Maye 7. and 21. Anno. 1581. By Iohn Keltridge Preacher of the vvorde of God in London Psal 119. verse 128. I esteeme all thy precepts most iust and hate all false wayes Prou. 4.14 Enter not into the vvay of the wicked and walke not in the vvay of euill men ¶ Imprinted at London by Richard Ihones dwelling without Newgate neere vnto Holburne Bridge TO THE RIGHT HONOrable Sir Fraunces Walsingham Knight principall Secretarie to the Queenes moste excellent Maiestie and of her Maiesties moste honorable priuie Councell c. AT such time right Honourable as I at the request of certaine my deere and welbeloued freendes had beene at her Maiesties Towre of London partlie to haue some talke with the Iesuites and other Seminaries deseruedly there imprisoned partlie to see if the Lorde would haue quickened them after great preaching and much conference with manie and verie learned men that came thether I did finde that the trauaile and study of theirs hath to this day taken so small effect as not onely the Iesuites are more and more stiffned in their errors But also they are become so sencelesse in feeling so blunt in attayning so wicked and malicious in resisting so disloy all and spitefull in hearing so sturdie and malaperte in withstanding openlie the teachers of the Gospell as the people are vpon the same dismayed zealous and godly men discouraged and all fortes of people moste pittifully distracted that either heere or see them at any time VVherefore may it please you to vnderstand that for diuers causes I haue giuen vnto your Honour this briefe and shorte Confutation of their Heresies First that their damnable and grosse errors though they may be seene of all may yet especially be knowne vnto you For I doo thinke that the reformation and order to bee taken for these Heretiques dooth lye in especiall on your shoulders and is required at Gods handes of the Lordes of her Maiesties moste Honourable priuie Councell Secondly that it may appeere whensoeuer these wicked men shal be called to an accompte that then they will not be able to denie or dissemble that which they affirme For the moste principall though not all their Articles are confuted in this booke Thirdely I am of opinion that esperiallye your Honour hath to discerne the spirits of these men in as much as you be in the number of those that in Roome togeather with many other of the nobles in this Realme were threatened to be burned by the Pope if he gat you either quicke or dead The laste and the cheefe cause is this As your Honour hath beene alwayes a fauourer of the Gospell and moste forwarde in Religion so I trust that God will now mooue you to haue a more care of his poore Church then euer you had It is not vnknowne how God hath looued this Realme sithence her Maiesties moste gratious and happie raigne among vs. The like rest with such quietnes the like peace with such blessednes the like comfort with such happines was neuer seene vnder any Nation and people as we haue had vnder her Maiestie Now at lengthe after so longe and prosperous and peaceable gouernment to put this Realme in feare and dread of that woonted Tirranie which Antichriste the Pope practised vpon vs. To stirre and mooue vp by way of alienation the mindes of men and the faithfull hartes of Englande to make vs remember the blood that was shed of olde time by the Pope to compell vs againe to sorrow ouer the bodies of our dead and ouer the Sainctes whose blood was shed and ouer the multitude of good men that were taken from vs There are in the steede and roome of those blodie Fathers risen and now in processe of time growne vp their bloodie and vnnaturall sonnes Among these some would haue hathed their hands in the harts of our people as Saunders in Ireland of late was purposed to do and it is not to be thought that he was there alone Some write against vs as though wee were Haereticques and accompt vs worthy to be put to death what would these men doo if they had vs in their handes Of which sort is Iohn Howlet and one Campion who bothe of them haue presented their mindes moste praesumptuously to the right Honourable the Lordes of her Maiesties priuie Councell some also haue spread abroade their damnable and seditious Doctrine thorowe out manie places in this Realme Such bee the Iesuites the Seminaries and other Schollers of the Pope that bee now in her Maiesties Towre of London Now all these are come hether and sente in of late dayes by the Pope to disturbe vs and rayse Tumults in this Common wealth And all these are the children of such Fathers as persecuted the Saints or they be home borne children brought vp in England being the wicked sonnes of wicked Parēts and they all haue beene maintained by that man of sinne Antichriste For all which thinges it cannot be gainsay de but that these practising Heretiques are most woorthy to haue the lawe of God in execution against them which he hath set downe for them in his Booke I doo well remember what our Fathers and Forefathers did Dauid at the hower of his death called to minde the iniquitie of a man of his that shed blood and when he lay on his death bed he sayd thus to his sonne Salomon 1. Reg. 2.5 Thou knowest what Ioab the sonne of Seruiah did to me and what he did to the two Captaines of the hoast of Israel vnto Abner the sonne of Ner and vnto Amasa the sonne of Iether whome he stone shed blood of battaile in peace Doo therefore according to thy Wisedome and let not his hearie haires goe downe to the graue in rest The same also sayde Dauid of the sonne of Gera the sonne of Iemini of Bahurim neither did he accoumpt him innocent It is well knowne what woorthy and warlike fellowes the Papists slewe and how they were cunning men at the Battailes of the Lord and as ready to resist and fight against Sathan in spirituall skirmishes as Abner or Amasa either euer were in defending their Citties for their maister Dauid It is necessarie therfore those good men should be remembred in as much as they were slaine so trayterouslie And now the rather are we all to thinke vpon that treason of olde as there are risen vp disloyall and wicked men to trouble vs Irreuerend disobedient persons to prouoke vs faithlesse and hollowe hearted Papists to disquiet vs foolish and erronious Iesuites to inueagle withdraw vs from the Lord.
