bloudie man thou hast had here before alledged vnto thee the sentence which the spirit of God pronounced against such qualified murderers saying that the weapons of iniquitie are in their tabernacles ●en 19. cursed be their furie for it is impudencie The nobles and valiant Catholikes which thou doest exhort vnto the same cursed furie will answere thee that they wil not giue entertaiment vnto the deuill being a murderer as thy Iacobin companion did when he s●ew the king no otherwise but as the example of Iudas when hee betraied his master Christ vnto the Iewes Luk. 22. And as thou wouldest serue thy selfe with such examples for the execution of such a qualified wickednes so likewise wouldest thou that the name of a Catholike might serue for another hang-man when as thou sayest if the name of a Catholike bee common vnto vs why not weapons also But to better purpose will the nobles aunswere thee and saie that if the name of Christians doeth admonish all French men to one mutuall duetie why then doe not yee rather ioyne with vs then with the Spaniard And vppon thy repeated obiection where againe thou doest accuse them to bee mercenaries they will aunswere thee that they defend theyr king because of theyr duetyes aboue mentioued and not otherwise It belongeth to thee and thy companions to defende that parte which may maintaine your pottage potte Thou repliest againe and saiest But if this be an article of your faith to beleeue in the Catholicke church and leaue out the Romane what shall become of your faith They will answere thee againe for the tenth time that it is enough for them to beleeue the Catholike christian church which hath for obiect Christ Iesus and his promises not the traditions Gal. 5 nor the Bishoppe of Rome The faithfull that bee vnited vnto this church neede not go to visite the monuments of Palestina wherof thou here speakest seeing that they are the children of the Ierusalem from on high Eph. 2.

Rom. 4. which doth deliuer and sette them free frō such other such like seruitude This church is the mother of our king approued of the estates and iustified by the iustice of Fraunce to bee in the princes qualitie hauing right to raigne and commaund there notwithstanding in despite of thy contradictions In summe and for conclusion of this article we say that we obtaine life euerlasting in the christian church by the faith which is builded vpon the only word of God the which doth teach 1. Cor. 1. propose present aswel vnto the noblemen as vnto others the way and means how to be inriched and honored with life eternall in the heauens which trust hope in God and in his promises by the onely meane and benefite of the death passion resurrection Act. 1. and ascention of our Lord Iesus Christ which dyed for our sins and rose againe for our iustification and which hath been giuen to vs by God for wisdome iustice sanctification and redemption and finally which ascended into heauen there to prepare a place for vs and to receiue vs th●ther to the ende that we may liue with him eternally in a perfect estate offelicitie and blessednes These beleefs and promises doe suffice the faithfull without that that there is any need to adioine the inuentions and traditions of the Pope of Rome which are hurtful in stead of profiting vnto saluation All those which do liue in this attention and hope aboue all humane duerie will haue in soueraigne commendation the honor obedience which they owe vnto their soueraigne Magistrates and the duties that they are bound to yeeld vnto their countrey By this meanes the almightie beeing most liberall and mercifull shall giue them the peace of conscience in causing their labour to bee profitable to his glorie and the good of the Realme and of the King to the generall contentment of all those which desire to liue according to the will of God The generall Conclusion ALL which said Articles being approued and verefied do declare the author of the aforesaide false accusations suppositions not onely to be an impudent slanderer but guiltie in all by all the enormeous crimes wherwith hee hath falsly accused his soueraigne prince together with those which acknowledg him as their king S. Iude saith that Michael the Archangell durst not giue any cursed speeches against the deuil but saith the Lord rebuke thee whiles that thou wicked creature like to a brute beast doest miscall Lordshippes the institution and dignitie of the which thou wouldst malitiously stand in doubt of following the destruction of the children of Chore. It would be better for thee to remember that the wrath of the king is as the messenger of death Prou. 16. but the wise man will pacifie it Thou canst not deny but that thy infamous writings wretchedly written brought to a lawfull Monarch such a one as he of France doe declare thee to be the head and chiefe of prophane lyers and deceyuers and so much the more excellent in the art of falsly slandering and euill speaking of Lordships and honors by how much the more like to the example of Satan thou beeing disguised into an Angell of light doest serue thy selfe subtilly malitiously with some true maximes as they are in thēselues the which thou doest diuert and wrest from their true sence and right application to the intrapping by treason desolation and ruine of Fraunce And thus will I shutte vp this present discourse by this briefe conclusion as concerning the abuse brought in by the Bishops of Rome which sheweth your religion being Romish to be infamous vnto all the most religious and learned in Europe 1. Ye make of your high and most worthy ecclesiasticall charge a storehouse of ambition auarice idolatrie and superstition 2 Ye haue in stead of Christ Iesus and his Vicars placed the most corrupt men in all Christendome 3 Ye haue adnihilated the commaundementes of God and haue authorized the traditions which were forged in the Cittie of Rome 4 Ye cause the sgnes of the sacraments to be woorshipped as God and afterwards falling into another errour ye baptize your bels and your ships 5 To witnes your tyranny and falshood ye will not suffer your doctrine to be examined by the word of God 6 In stead of obeying your soueraigne Magistrate ye shew your selues rebels and not so content but also yee seeke to massacre him 7 Your corruption is so farre beyond measure that to speake of regeneration and the truth amongst you is accounted heresie 8 Ye sing your Masses likewise for the helth of beasts 9 Ye do apply to the condition of those the censure of excommunication 10 Ye shew the shamefulparts of your Bishop to princes at the installing of his pontificall office and yee make them to kisse his feet in such sort as was done to Caligula All which patches and infinite others beeing brought together do shew and veresie that there hath neuer beene any Pagan nation or people that haue so much sported with or mocked God his religion as yee doo and then in wiping the mouth Prou. 30. euē as the whore doth of whom Salomon speaketh ye say I haue done no iniquitie And not contente with that yee impute it vnto the iust who neuer thought it I haue no more to say to thee heere at this time but that the passions of the soule do alwaies produce contrary effects to their ends and desires Plut. in mor.

beholde thy second chiefe point discouered and now let vs laie open thy thirde wherewith thou doest so greatly charge thy aduersaries with brutishnes where thou saiest that the Catholiks which defend theyr king and their Countrie are more void of reason than beasts and takest the cranes eagles the hony bee to witnes which wil neuer admit anie to their king but one of the same kinde To this I saie that the example of the Crane beeing a verie dull and hurtfull bird may bee verie well applyed vnto thy selfe First because thou doest exhorte the foolish amongst the French men to be like cranes and so change their condition which is now most free into one that is most seruile and miserable imitating the asse which desireth to serue the Tanner rather than anie other maister Secondly the Cranes doo eate vp the seede from the earth and thou wouldest haue the French men to be eaten vp of the Spaniardes The examples of the Eagles is agreeable vnto the same for they are great gourmandisers of the flesh of beasts and foules which doe not liue vppon anie praie in this thy drift is shewed to bee nothing else but to haue the good people to be deuoured Furthermore the Fagles flic verie farre and so wouldest thou haue the Frenchmens libertie and the Pirence mountaines flie into Spaine Alasse then what should become of our citizens parents wiues and children From whence commeth this that in stead of imitating Bees which are profitable thou doest imitate those droue Bees or rather dragons which doe wound verie sore And if the question bee in this that thou wouldest applie the thing to the imitating of creatures that is altogether agaynst thee because the French men are more bound to follow the Prince of their owne nature and nation than a Spaniard which is their enimie of a contrarie humor to theirs But because here thou wouldest walke more warily with thy treason sale of thy Countrie thou doest heere agayne imploie the difference of religion Whereunto I aunswere that murders and massacres are not the next waies to decide and auoyde the controuersies remember that which is aforesayde and let the promise be mutually discharged without comming anie kinde of way to this madde extremitie in putting vs into the handes of the Spaniardes euen as thy councell doeth aduise beeing drawen from the dungeons of hell But beholde the mischiefe which stoppeth the passage to this ordinarie waie for you euen you doe mocke and scorne maliciouslie and against your conscience because the king doeth offer himselfe to come to that in saying that it is but fayned and altogether contrarie seeing that hee hath promised neuer to chaunge his religion and thou doest adde moreouer that there needeth not anie councell seeing that wee neede neuer call the Catholike Romish religion into anie doubt Finally thou doest conclude that there is no need to attende eppon anie councell because the king doeth nothing else but deceiue the Catholikes with such vaine attentions But because thou shouldest not go vnanswered wee saie that laying aside your lyes excuses and craftie shiftes which tend to no other purpose but to turne backwardes and flie from the listes that the Christian kinges ought to bee carefull for the wholesome religion and to procure conuocations of Synodes and Councels when as they are duely aduertised that there is anie abuse error or superstition brought into the Church Deut. 17. 1. Cor. 14. seeing that God commaundeth them to keepe the whole wordes of his lawe as beeing disposers of the same This duetie was inioyned to Dauid to distribute and giue vnto the successours of Aaron theyr right places and ordinaunces which were before refused in their charges By this same commaundement also 2. Kin. 22. Iosias commaunded Helkiah the high Priest to repayre the temple and to praie vnto the Lorde as well for the king as for the people and to the same ende hee assembled the Prophettes and the high Priestes with the aforesayde people to reade before them all the booke of the Lawe Hee also caused the Passe-ouer to bee celebrated and destroyed the idolatrie amongst the Romane Emperours Theodose the great assembled the Councell of Constantinople agaynste the heresie of the Macedonians In many other places it is apparaunt that diuerse Councells haue bene assembled for such like errour But at this daie it is a question of greate corruption beeing brought into the Church by the pride and couetousnesse of the Bishoppes of Rome in so much as one onely may nowe refuse a synodale conuocation agaynst those that can proue that the infinite nesse of errours in the same haue corrupted and falsefied the true seruice of God Oh what tyrannie and mallice is this but to feare least that your turpitude and filthinesse should be further discouered is the cause of the refusall thereof onely doe but prepare your selues to enter into conference if there bee anie neede and then shall yee finde whether there shall bee anie faining on our partes or not But yee care nothing at all to haue it following the Italian prouerbe which saith Chista ben non si inuoua He that is well let him keepe him so Yee liue at your ease in all delightes and idlenes rather making those beleeue which search out your abuses Quod sunt infideles dubii in fide That they are vnfaithfull and weake of beleefe As thou sayest whilest that in the meane time you doublie cloake your selues with crafte and subtilties for the which cause yee neither require Synode nor councell so fearefull art thou that the king will goe to masse saying that hee ought not to bee trusted although hee woulde saie so Thy English pretended Catholike companion feared likewise the same but thou hast the aun●were vnto it looke therein what hath beene sayd vnto him and for the rest thou shalt finde in Saint Iohn that life euerlasting consisteth in the knowledge of the onely true God and of him which hee hath sent Christ Iesus and the king most Christian-like hath protested to continue in the same profession Thou hast therefore these thirtie times shewed thy selfe to bee an impudent slanderer when as thou doest compare him vnto prophane kinges which haue abused religion in seeking vnder the coulour of the same to instal and bring in their tyrannies Now lette vs see wherefore thou doest accuse the king of periurie After that he had sworne sayest thou that hee woulde not innouate anie thing for the space of sixe moneths incontinentlie hee made a statute at Tours by the which hee dooth dispence with the regulars as concerning their obedience which they owe vnto their superiors if they will aduertise him of those things which they should vndertake against him dooth inioyne the confessors to declare the confessions of the Catholickes in the same behalfe What Diuine or Logitian I praye you is this A king commaundeth his subiectes to declare vnto him those which conspire agaynst his person or against his
