Eue had continued in state of grace they should neuer haue had children by any carnal copulatiō but otherwise Yea that there should haue bene no difference betwen the Male and the Female kinde Secondly he saied that the blessed Saintes in heauen doe not see the essence of God Whiche errour he learned of Petrus Abailardus againste whome S. Barnarde writeth and of Arnoldus Brixiensis of whome as I suppose Arnoldistae of whom we spake of be called Thirdly he said that the bodie of Christ is no otherwise in the Sacramente of the Aulter then in other bread and all other things Fourthly he said there was no hell Fifthly he denyed the resurrection of the flesh And yet is this Almaricus a worthy Bisshoppe and an holy Martyr in Maister Foxes madde Martyrologe Neither can he finde any matter why he was condemned but for teaching and holding againste Images whiche if it were true as it is false yet were he but a starke stinking Martyr I will nowe vnfolde and rippe vppe the heresies of some other condemned by Frederike that Maister Horne may see his own iudgement geuen against him and his fellowes especially against their hereticall Articles agreed vppon in their Schismaticall Conuocation and nowe after fower yeares offered to the Parliament to be confirmed and ratified geauen I saie not onely by the moste famouse Generall Councell aforesaied but also by his owne Supreme Head the Emperour Frederike and by his owne wordes and confession And here it shall be sufficient to set before yow the Waldenses onely For as a good fellowe ones said whiche had prouided a feast furnished with manye disshes to his friend maruailing at suche plentie but all was but swines fleshe which he had by his iolie cokerie dressed in suche diuersitie So all this rascall rablement of these huge monstruous names and sectes are in effecte nothing but the swinish secte of the Waldenses otherwise called the poore brethren of Lyons taking there their originall of one Waldo their vnlearned and blinde presumptuouse guide Whiche had in diuerse Countries diuerse names whereof some ye haue heard and were commonlie called in England as appeareth by our Actes of Parliamente and Chronicles and in some other Countries also Lollardes Wil ye then knowe what their Relligion and order was in Churche matters I remitte the Latine and learned Reader to Aeneas Syluius and to Paulus Aemilius and the English Reader to Maister Foxe him selfe Who at large to decke and beutifie his holy Canonisation setteth their errours and heresies foorth to his Reader And to be short there shal ye find that our holy English Cōuocatiō borowed their damnable Articles whereof we haue spoken of them and the whole order beside of this their gaie Gospelling Church Of this secte sprang among other the Albanenses whiche otherwise are called Albigenses of the people called Albij in the Countie of Tholous in Fraunce the whiche we haue before rehearsed Nowe the Arnoldistae can not be the schollers and disciples of Arnoldus de Villa noua being at this time and long after vnborne and so it seemeth that they are so called of Arnoldus Brixiensis and withal that as well Maister Horne as his Maister Illiricus from whome he fetched these Epistles of Arnoldus de Villa noua are out of the waye Maister Horne for imagining this Arnoldus to haue liued aboute the time of King Henrie the first And Illiricus for imagining Arnoldistas to be named of Arnoldus de Villa noua and to be condemned before he was borne Him selfe confessing that he liued aboute suche time as we before haue declared Maister Foxe also as greate an Antiquarie as he is as farre as I can learne confoundeth these two Arnoldus and maketh a great sturre for the auauncing of his newe Ghospel of this Arnoldus de villa noua being a false lying Prophet ▪ as I haue before shewed you And yt may be proued both by him and by Illyricus that he was an Heretique if he mainteyned suche errours as they specifie whereof nothing doth appeare in the foresaied Epistles And therfore I suppose yf any of them both mainteyned these errours yt was this Arnoldus Brixiensis Who for theis errours of the Waldenses as it may seme with his disciples is excommunicated by the generall coūcel as I tolde you before Now for the other secte of the Albanenses or Albigenses springinge of the loynes of the holye brother Waldo beside the cōmon and vsuall errours of the Waldenses they cōdēned matrimony ād lyued lyke brute beastes in most filthie and beastlie bytchery Who not withstanding multiplied in such sort and so desperatly suffred al kind of punishmēt ād death to for the maynteyning of theire heresies that they were set vpon and destroyed with an armie And yet are they preciouse martyrs with M. Foxe thoughe him self cōfesse that the chroniclers make them no better thē Turkes and infidelles and wold fayne for the honesty of his new ghospell and hys newe canonisation that men shoulde thinke yt were not so contrary to all the Chroniclers vpon his owne bare woorde as one that doth not nor euer shal be able to shewe any thinge worthye of any credite to the contrarye The desperate rage of theis wilde wodde Waldenses was suche as I haue sayde that they did not shūne but rather couitte deathe to make they re secte in the eies of the worlde more commendable as M. Foxes holye martyrs haue of late donne in Englande and els where and for this cause bothe the councell and themperour calleth them Patarenos For they so called them selues as in the olde tyme the Messalian heretikes called them selues for the like cause Martyrianos as men glorying that for their secte and heresie had suffred martyrdomme Now let Mayster foxe make an accompte of hys holy martyrs and see howe manie he canne fynde that haue not maynteyned the sayd errours of these Albigenses Paterans or Waldenses and he shall fynde his holie cataloge altogether voyde and empted So that the olde martyrs may take they re olde place in the Kalender againe And because Mayster Foxe doth so highlie esteme these men and so lightlye regardeth what so euer either the forsayde moste famous and lerned councell or the late councell of Trente hathe sayde or donne againste the doctrine of his holye Martyrs and wyll not belieue the catholikes when they truelye call them furiouse and madde martyrs let him at the leaste belieue this Emperour Friderike a newe greate Charles as Mayster Horne sayeth and let hym in fewe wordes heare a rownde and a full answere to all his vglie and madde martyrologe He then speaking of the sect of the folishe frontyke and wood Waldo sayeth In exēplum martyrū qui pro fide catholica c.

This to be so the Authoritie of Canons doth witnesse This the ecclesiastical history proueth This the holie Fathers confirme Lo you see M. Horne what the iudgement of Isidorus was aboue .900 yeres past howe iumpe it agreeth with the assertion of Catholiques now and how directly it ouerthroweth yours This therfore being so sure a Principle on our parte and so clerelie proued bethinke your selfe now M. Horne how your new Primacie wil be proued by this allegation Touching that you saie This Clergie in King Henries daies was not only of Diuines but also of the wisest most expert and best learned in the Ciuil and Canon Lawes that was or hath ben sence as D. Tonstal D. Stokesley D. Gardiner D. Thirlbie and D. Bonner by the euident falsehood whiche you practise in alleaging these witnesses a man may iudge with what fidelitie you haue handled the rest throughout your whole booke Who is ignoraunte that not one of these Reuerent Fathers did sincerely thinke that to be true which you here impute vnto them For whereas all vpright iudgement shoulde come of a mans owne free choise not stained or spotted either with the hope of priuate lucre and honoure or with the feare of great losse the one of those two things which of all other most forceably carieth men away from professing their owne conscience did stoppe those men from saying and vttering that which otherwise they would most gladly haue vttered sithens as they were put in hope of al promotion if they agreed with the Kings will of which they made I iudge the lesse accompte so disagreeing from the same they were certaine to loose bothe goods and life and also their good name in the shew of the worlde as who shoulde haue bene put to deathe by the name of Traitours whiche is the thing that all true subiectes doe chieflie abhorre Yet you knowe in suche sorte suffered a great many notable both for learning and vertue as D. Fisher Bishoppe of Rochester Syr Thomas More a great number of the Carthusians beside diuerse other of all estates You knowe also the matter then was not so sifted and tryed by learning as it hath bene since And we know they were the secrete snakes of your adders broode that induced the King to that minde not any of the Doctours here by you named who all againste their willes condescended therevnto Howe then are they broughte foorthe for witnesses of your heresies who for feare of deathe saied as you doe and that no longer then the foresaid impedimente laie in theyr waye For when the state of the worlde was otherwise that without feare of deathe they might vtter their minde freely who knoweth not that all they who liued to see those daies of freedome in all theire woordes and deedes protested that the Pope and not the King was head of the Churche vnder Christ Neuer hearde you M. Horne that when your owne brethren being arryued before D. Gardiner the Bishope of Winchester and then Chauncelour of England had saied they lerned theyr disobedience vnto the Pope out of his booke De vera obedientia c. then he aunswered that if they had bene good Scholers they would haue folowed theyr Maister in his beste and not in his worste doeinges Againe if they had erred through his Authority whē he was not so wel learned and grounded they should much more repēt and recāt through his Authority being nowe better lerned through longer studie and better grounded through longer experience And this Doctour Gardiner when he was moste of your side in this one matter yet he was so suspected of the Kinge for secrete conference with the Pope by letters to be sent by a straunger in the tyme of his embassye on this side of the Seas that as Master Foxe reporteth for this verie cause Kinge Henrie in all Generall Pardons graunted after that tyme dyd euermore excepte all treasons committed beyonde the Seas whiche was meant for the Bishoppes cause This ys that Doctour Gardiner who at Paules Crosse in a moste Honorable and full Audience witnessed not onely his owne repentaunce for his former naughty doings but also that King Henry sought diuerse tymes to haue reconciled hym selfe againe to the See of Rome as who knewe that he had vnlawfully departed from the vnytie thereof and had made hym selfe the Supreme Heade of the Churche of Englande altogether vniustly This is that Doctour Gardiner ▪ who lying in his deathebedde caused the Passion of Christe to be readen vnto hym and when he hearde it readen that Peter after the denying of his Maister went out and wepte bitterlie he causyng the Reader to staye wept him selfe full bitterlie and saied Ego exiui sed non dum fleui amarè I haue gone out but as yet I haue not wepte bytterlie And is nowe Doctour Gardiner a fitte witnesse for your secular Supremacy M. Horne Marcellinus the Pope being afearde of deathe dyd sacrifice vnto Idolles And the same Marcellinus repenting his vniuste feare dyd afterwarde sacrifice his owne bodie and soule for the loue of Christe suffring Martyrdome for his sake Will you nowe proue Idolles to be better then Christe by the facte of Marcellinus Or shall not the last iudgemente stande rather then the first What meane you then to alleage the iudgementes of Doctour Gardiner Doctour Thirlbey Doctour Tonstall and Doctour Bonner sith you knowe that all those chaunged their mindes vppon better aduise Or whie died Doctour Tonstalle in prisonne Or why lye the other learned godly Bisshops yet in prisonne if they are of your minde But if you knowe that they dissente vtterly from you and yet doe pretende to bring their Authoritie for you this fact declareth that you are not only a fond wrangler but also a wicked falsarie and that you knowe as well Saint Augustine whome you alleaged before so largelye and all the Councels and princes with al other Authours by you producted are none otherwise of your minde then are Doctour Thirlebie and Doctour Bonner whome you so impudentlie make to speake as Proctours in your cause albeit they are readie to shedde their bloude against this your opinion Once in maner the whole clergy of the Realme sinned most greuously by preferring the secular and earthly kingdome before the Magistrates of the heauēly kingdome But that sinne of theirs al those now abhor and haue before abhorred to whō God gaue grace to see the filthines and the absurdty thereof And surelye vntil the rest bothe of the clergy and of the layety do hartely repēt for that most filthy and absurd dede wherein they withdrewe the Supremacy from S. Peters successours and gaue it to the successours of Iulius Caesar vntill I say they repent for it and refourme that minde of theirs as much as lyeth in thē they cā neuer be made partakers of the kingedome of heauen But only they shal inherit the kingdome of the earth in whose Supremacy they put their cōfidence You Mayster Horn haue in dede great
