EVANS NOwe good Christian Reader iudge thowe with some indifferēcie whether lewde Luther hath most lewdelie abused thee or not nowe vnderstande whether Melancthon Caluine and Zwinglius with the other braweling false bretherne as Bucer and Brentius be the slye styrrers vp of diuisions and gyue occasions of yuell or not and now at the leanght beholde whether they bee to be harkened vnto to be followed and fostered or rather to be worthelie abhorred and aduoyded for here this first Table hathe declared vnto thee the names of good godly and learned men their confession and constancie in the vniforme faythe of Christe with the names and places of their bookes wherein they avowche and affirme the same This Table hathe expressed agayne the names of the noysome carnall companie of heretikes which doe resyste contrarie and gayne say those holie diuines faythefull Fathers and Doctors of the primitiue Churche so that thowe mayst all truelie saye S. Ambrose S. Chrysostome S. Hierome and S. Augustine together with all the whole holye companie of Martyrs preachers Apostles haue taught me in suche their woorkes this perfeicte faythe of the Catholyke church and onelie lecherous Luther with his impes and ietting iesting Iuell wolde allure men vnto the contrary Wherefore seing that you doe see their diuelishe desire to imbrace stryf controuersie and seing that you perceaue their ōspeakeable rage against the doctrine of Christe and his Apostles stand you faste and keepe the ordinaunces wich you haue learned whether it were by the preaching bokes or epistles of those holy fathers for they agree in one vnitie of truthe they haue cōtynewed in the woordes of Christe they are his disciples and haue knowen the truthe therefore the truthe shal make them free But concerning light Luther with his whyning whelpes defyled with whoredome and lustes most lothesome as Iannes Iambres withstoode Moses euen so doe these resiste the truthe when they are of corrupte myndes and lewde as concerning the faythe but they shall preuaile no longer for theyr madnes shalbe vttered vnto all men as theirs was So plainelie then perceauing the peruersenes of heretikes I truste no mans wilfullnes is suche as will not refuse the fayned zeale of Zwinglius the madnes of Melancthon and the cursed crakes and crieng of Caluine for shall Luther leade vs to destruction shall he with his loytering lasse queane laughe at our damnacion shall newe noughtie faytheles folkes sett vs at variance with the very Apostles of Christ Nay let vs rather followe the knowen faythe of our godlie forefathers of learned holye men of the Apostles them selues Theyr fayth is perfect vniforme true and imbraced of all good Christians throughout all Christendome Those holye Fathers neuer iarred but allwaies as with one mowthe they agreede in the acknoweleging and confessing of the same but the faythe of these newe fellowes is bare blinde naked and no where they as yow shall here following perceaue neuer agreede in anye one article or iote by them selfes deuised concerning that their thowsandefolde ymagyned Dame ladye and faythe In this second Table maist thowe see the wicked wanting fancies of the most on faythefull felloweshipp of heretickes with the stryuing spirite and filthie fruicte of the deceaueable doctrine of Antichriste ¶ Of the numbre of Sacramentes Seuean Sacramentes at the first affirmed to be by Luther denied agayne by Luther in his boke entituled Captiuitas Babylonica also by Zwinglius One affirmed by Luther yf wee speake according vnto the phrase of Scriptures denied agayne by Luth. y e .xxxj. yere in his Catechisme in his boke vnto Waldēses and by Melancth in y e Cōfess of Auspurge Twoe affirmed by Luther the .30 yeare in his Catechisme in his boke vnto Waldenses by Melanthō in y e .22

steappes and imbrace the doinges of the deuelish foes of all auncient faithfullnes Those men doe they followe which were enemies vnto Ambrose Hierome Augustine and suche others and against whome those holy fathers haue writen and preched we see howe they haue sclaundered all ancient writers we see howe they haue abused the people and Princes of christendome and thoughe now all their drudgerie be detected made manifest and knowē yeat their impudent foreheades are suche as will receaue no kinde of shame and as will neuer blushe or receaue any maner of grace to repent Well I wolde wishe all men to marke what moued these fonde faytheles men at the first to fall from their godlie forefathers faythe from the Apostles beliefe and that ys from the faythe and religion of Christe Let vs first looke vpon Luther and vnderstande what impelled hym to imbrace this madde mynde and onnaturall heate of heresies And yf wee will waye yt indifferentlie then of trothe we shalbe forced to say yea our owne consciences shall cause vs and truthe it self shall moue vs to speake and saye that filthie desire drawe Luther to lewdnes oh we must exclame and say O Lothsome luste thowe dydst leade Luther to distruction O vnchaste mynde thowe wast the cause of Luthers madnes O carnall desire ouermuche with they filthie flame dydst thowe lurche poore Luther O whoredome abhominable thowe thowe yt was that dydst woorke these lunatike mocions in Luther And fynallie thowe vile Venus with thy craftie boye Cupido hathe puffed vp poore Luther with ouer fearce a fyere with ouer great and dreadefull a desyre withe to muche a long lasting leacherous luste Therefore wee may say o vnhappie Luther o wreached man o most miserable simple soule But wee are happie wee are blessed and entierely beloued of God who by the corrupte rotten and choked fruicte of thee may nowe learne to avoyde all the graffes growen and feadde on thy filthie roote And truelie tenne tymes happie should we and others haue bene yf we had but perceaued the poyson of suche pestilent fruictes when they were greene For then ahlas they infected a great number of the youthe sweete mowthed men of Christendome there was neuer greene fruicte that bread suche a plague that plague caused to perishe bothe bodye and soule and the ayre then I meane mens myndes were so infected and corrupted as a thowsande sowles in one daye were caried headlong into hell at that tyme might fathers weepe in deede for the deathe of their sonnes then parentes might pietiefullie howle at the buriall of their youthe and children and then and at no tyme ells might frendes most bytterlie lament for the losse of their familiars and acquayntaunce For wolde yt not rent the harte of anie honest man to see his deare freende drawen dreadfullie into the bottomeles pyt of hell there in burning coales to broyle for euer Oh yf wee bee men we must morne at this and yf wee haue any kindenes or gentle nature in vs then must wee wayle and sighe at the sorowefull state of suche our acquaintaunce as shall neuer with vs enioye the blessed ioyes of heauen Nay yf we be charitable Christiās and yf wee looke to haue the long lastyng blysse of lyfe euerlasting then must wee weepe at the erroure and wandring of our breathren who throughe the baytes and allurementes of Sathan seeking strange doctrines to defend their filthynes are now as damned Phlegias througheout the darkenes of hell sounding furthe with woeful voice these wordes Discite iustitiam moniti nō temnere Diuos of trothe yt makethe me a frayde to thinke on their woe and I quake when in mynde I conceaue any knowledge thereof But what shall we speake of him which in this litle booke beholding the misrule discorde and most lothesome lyes of heretikes will yeat wallowe with them in beastlines still imbrace nothing els but their blindenes in deade I feare some suche there wil be But not withstanding as often as I do reade ouer this booke me thinkes verelye that there can be none so willfullye madd nor none so voyde of grace and reason As any longer to lye in the beastlie brawlinge beadd of hatefull heresye me thinkes that al the false preachers doe packe vp their bawdie marchandize and me thinkes that with the consent of all good consciences they be at the leanght whipped with their whoores through out al coūtreys Yf this booke I say be read ouer with an indifferent mynde yf partialytie be layd a syde and yf any renouncing shamefull self will and stowbbornes will vse the reason where with God at the first dyd endue him then most certaine I am that he will say fy fy on these mōstrous ministers fy on their fonde doctrine suttel sectes and fy on theyr filthie facing famyshed faythe Wherefore seing we doe so manifestlye perceaue their varieng from auncient holye writers seing wee see their disagreamentes amongst them selfes seing wee behold howe they leane vnto old cancred and condemned heresies and seing we vnderstand at the leangth their lewdenes in alleaging of the Diuines and Doctours Let vs followe the example of the Apostle S. Iohn the Disciple of Christ whoe as I reade entred into a commune bayne to wash him But there beholding one Cerinthus he leapt out immediatlie vnwashed sayng let vs flie hence lest that the baynes them selfes fall downe in the which Cerinthus is washed By which sayng we are admonished to aduoyd yuel companie for Cerinthus was an open enemye of godlynes and all godlie men Therefore let vs I say likwise when wee see these prating false preachers in pulpittes fly from them least the Church fall downe on vs wherein such blasphemies be breathed out and fostered Let all men behold their malice and cancred hatred heaped vpp in their iniurous iniunctions against the true Christiās and imbracers of Christ. And finally let vs all renoūce this newe nowghtines this doting doctrine this self will wantonnes and these shameful lechearous single soule sectes Let vs againe with ioyfull countenaunce byd Christ welcome into our countrie Let vs yelde our selfes vnto his mercye and let vs obey his statutes and followe his will Yf wee doe this wee shall not only be free frō the fire of hell and haue perdon for all our peruersenes and treason but wee also shall in this lyfe be sure of sundry commodities and pleasures and in the lyfe to come wee shal haue lyfe for our soules in deede Wee shall haue the heauens for our habitacion and enioye the sweete cōpaine of the Saintes with the plesaūt felowship of our forefathers louing acquaintāce and deare frendes They with vs and wee with them in the euerlastinge vnspeakable ioyes and most bewtifull blisse to lyue so louingly together for euer In the first Table is manifestlye declared howe that Luther Caluine Zwinglius and Bucer with all the other cursed crewe of heretikes haue doe most wilfullye varie from the Doctors Apostles catholyke faythe
