A18440	An answeare for the time, vnto that foule, and wicked Defence of the censure, that was giuen vpon M. Charkes booke, and Meredith Hanmers Contayning a maintenance of the credite and persons of all those woorthie men: namely, of M. Luther, Caluin, Bucer, Beza, and the rest of those godlie ministers of Gods worde, whom he, with a shamelesse penne most slanderously hath sought to deface: finished sometime sithence: and now published for the stay of the Christian reader till Maister Charkes booke come foorth.	Charke, William, d. 1617.	1583 (1583)	STC 5008; ESTC S107734	216,784	212

had that same foule disease vpon him that he should haue stunke that no bodie could haue abidden him how could that be true that is written of him which yet was most true that he should be visited by so notable excellent personages For he was visited in the time of his sicknes not onlie by y e 4. Syndiques which are 4. chief lords magistrates of the towne to whō M. Cal. made a graue a notable exhortation that they should continue faithfull in that place wherein God had set thē but also by al the Ministers who according to the custome of that Church met at his house in token of that vnitie loue that was betweene thē tooke their repast together at a supper Among whō M. Caluin was brought forth sitting in his chaire to take of them as it were his last farewell in this life and notwithstanding that he were very sick yet he conceaued prayer himself as wel as he coulde cheered vp his guestes and before supper was ended withdrawing himselfe hee tolde them that a wall could not sunder them but that hee woulde bee ioyned with them in spirit After which time going to bed his sicknes grewe to be such as lying vpō his back he neuer rose againe till God had put an ende to all his miseries and receiued him into that euerlasting ioy whiche hee had from before the foundations of the worlde prepared for him Now therefore though Caluine had beene teinted and touched with as sore plagues and diseases as euer was 〈◊〉 and that in his ende the anguishe of his flesh had made him to speake as foolishly as euer Iob did if his bones had beene putrified and corrupted as Dauid confesseth his were he had had all the diseases in himself that many holy men haue cōplained to haue felt yet forasmuch as y e end of a mā simplie in it self is not enough for a mā to be iudged by God exercising his childrē as he seeth to be best for thē and seeing y e breastes bones of the wicked are as full of milke and marrow as the breastes and bones of the godly that neither outward prosperitie nor aduersitie in the ends either of the godly or of the wicked simply in thēselues are iust measures to measure y e fauor or displeasure of God by I cōclude y t thogh M. Caluine had had suche a disease yet hee dying in the Lorde and in the constant profession of his truth this growing vpon him by his great labours and studies taken against such helhoundes and enemies as you are I conclude that he dyed a glorious and an honourable death And besides the reasons before alleadged that he died not any such horrible death with any such discontentment and rage against God hereby it may bee prooued that hee was continually occupied in prayer in writing and ouerseeing sundrie bookes and writings that hee had in hand to finish that hee vttered many golden and excellent sentences made such a solemne and a godly wil died with such peace quietnes ha uing neither clogged himself with trāsitori things not being in loue with the world so as he yelded most willingly neither stirring hād nor foot as by the testimonie of them that were present is declared wheras Bolseck this heretike was both his enemie and also absent and therefore vnfit to giue any testimonie of him But nowe if a man shoulde turne ouer the leafe and looke to the life and death of Papists which as their doctrine is wicked and idolatious so their liues and their deaths are abhominable and hideous hee shoulde enter into such an argument as hee coulde not tell where to begin nor where to ende so copious and plentifull are examples of the iudgements of God vpon them And what peace and honour can bee in the death of them whose life and death is without God Diues in outwarde shewe and to the iudgement of the worlde dyed as a man blessed and Lazarus as a cursed man vpon whose liues and deaths yet if Bolseck and Parsons might haue sate as Iudges Diues shoulde haue been iustified and Lazarus condemned But those wicked ones whose doctrines and liues haue beene wicked and whose death therewithall haue beene marked with some notable iudgement of Gods wrath these indeede are examples vnto vs to make vs to feare So died Steeuen Gardiner a wicked and a wretched man very horriblie with his tongue swolne out of his mouth with such a hideous and fearefull countenance with suche stincke and dispaire as his owne side did loath him for it So likewise dyed Thomas Arundell Archbishop of Canturburie Cardinal Wolsey Latomus Francis Spira and diuers others Euen like as in the old time God brought strange iudgements vpon his enemies that were 〈◊〉 and mercilesse persecutors as vpon Antiochus Herode Iulian the Apostata Valerian Decius Maxentius and infinite others So also vpon men euen in our times whose liues were wicked hee made their deaths notorious and infamous by setting vpon them as it were visible signes of his wonderfull and vnsupportable iudgementes I referre the Reader for breuitie sake vnto a speciall booke written in the Frenche tongue wherein there are gathered together as into one summe the wonderfull iudgements of God that haue byn executed vpon wicked men declared both in their life in their death To which also may be added a speciall treatise which M. Foxe hath set downe in his booke of Actes and Monuments in the second part Nowe concerning the life of M. Beza and his maners which Parsons saith this worshipfull writer hath set downe during M. Beza his life and dedicated to the honorable Magistrates Councellours and other 〈◊〉 of the Citie of Geneua c. Although I shoulde not 〈◊〉 much to wearie myself seeing M. Beza is thanks be to God aliue both of sufficient age abilitie in Christ to answere for himself and may perhaps haue seene the booke if it bee deliuered there where it is dedicated yet because I know y t M. Beza will not file his handes vppon suche a shamelesse wretche and also because as Parsons in Englande so also another of the same fether in Scotlande haue been so eger to spread these sclaunders to the discredite of this reuerende and honorable person in Christe I haue thought it my dutie to examine his groundes and to weigh the circumstances of this as I haue done in 〈◊〉 life of M. Caluin First therefore where hee saith that hee hath doone it during his life that if it bee false hee may refute it this maketh no whit to the iustifiyng of his fact Hee that hath shewed himselfe suche a varlet against the truth and M. Caluin for it is it like beeing a bored and branded witnesse that hee will deale with any more 〈◊〉 towards M. Beza Shall wee thinke that his purpose is to finde out the truth or beeing confuted for falshood that hee
