Paules Churchyarde at which time he had his presse and letters taken away from him and destroyed for the same cause by my Lords grace of Canterbury nowe he workes in corners vp and downe the Country like a vagabond Puritane With a seared conscience did the Bishops that violence to him in regarde both of the cause and also for the greate charge he hath of wife and six smale children and nowe to bereaue his Poore family of him whose labors was their only comfort maintenance Jack Master Vicker how long was it since Walde-graues gooods were destroyed I haue heard of him before nowe but I knowe him not Minist Tushe you knowe him well enough I am sure it is since his goodes were destroied about Ester was a twelue moneth Jacke And hath he bene all this time absent from his family Minist I Sir and if he had bin there he would easily haue bin had for he hath bin watcht wel enough for that Puritane I will tell you Sir howe they deale with him when they haue any suspition that he is at home although he durst neuer come home they sticke not in the deade time of the nighte to breake downe the maine wales of his house and enter in with constables and pursiuants and this is a common thing with them Jacke I am perswaded the Bishops had bin better to haue giuen him freely 2. hundred pounds towards the setting vp of a newe printinge house for himselfe then to haue destroied his as they haue done Minist I thinke so for it may be he woulde haue followed his calling some other way then to be imploied in those things Jacke Yonder comes a man plodding a pace after vs whatsoeuer he be Minist It may be our companie wil increase and so we shall goe the more cheerefull for it begins to to be late and it is dangerous going here abouts late I can tel you Puritane It may be he is one of your coate Master Vicker Minist I cannot tel but if he be he shall be welcome to me Jacke Surely he comes a pace whatsoeuer he be Minist It may be he woulde be glad of company Jacke Well let vs goe on and continue our talke Puritane Master Vicker I thinke be weary of our communication if you be let vs knowe Minist Noe by my faith Sir not I say what you wil a Gods name Puritane Fye Master Vicker will you sweare I thinke you learned that of your Lord Bishop of London for he vseth it often when he is at boules Jacke What wil Bishops sweare Puritane Sweare Sir I that they wil and defende it to when they haue done For in the first booke of Martin there is mention made of the Bishop of Londons swearing when he is at bowles And the Bishop of Winchester in answering the same saith thus in page 62. of his booke That our Sauiour Christ vsually sware by his faith in his sermons For he saide Amen Amen which is as much to say saith he as by my faith by my faith Jacke Why is that a Bishoppe of God that will sweare thus Minist Fo I haue hearde my Lords grace of Canterbury sweare by his faith an hundred times yea and by God to sometimes and what he doth I take it as a good president for such as I am to followe Puritane I le tel you Master Vicker I am of doctor Bridges his minde of our Bishops for saith he page 339.340 That all our Lord Bishops in England are the Bishops of the Diuel And I am sure of it by these two marks vz. by their tyranical dealing against Gods children and by their wicked and vnconscionable liues that they are not of God Jacke I pray you hath Doctor Bridges written any booke that is published to this effect Puritane Yes indeed and the Bishop of Canterbury hath confirmed it by his authorising of the same and also by his continual practise against Gods children Jacke But I pray you Sir howe wickedly hath he wrested the Scripture in saying our Sauiour Christ continually sware in his sermons when he saide Amen Amen Puritane Why the Bishop of Winchester is most impudent in al his actions for very blasphemously in his sermon preached at Mary Overies at London said that a man might as wel finde fault with the holy Scripture as with our corrupt Common booke of prayer Iacke Our vpon him blasphemous wretch he is certainly the Bishop of the Diuel as Doctor Bridges saith Puritane Will you heare some more of his Diuinitie Jacke O Yes I pray you Sir And yet my harte trembleth to heare of such odious blasphemies as these Puritane He saith it the 49. page of his booke against Martine Marprelate That the Creed of the Apostles Athanasius the Nicene c. containe in them many palpable lies Nowe tel me your opinion of this is it not sound and substantial doctrine I pray you tell me Iacke Doctrine yea indede this may truly be saide to be the doctrine of Diuels Why whither will our Bishops runne in time trowe you if the Magistrate suffer them Puritane I wil tel you euen to their father the Diuel For they haue at no time taken in hand to write in defence of their hierarchie but it hath made their eies so to dazle that they run into most dangerous damnable errors as in this booke of the Bishopps will be prooued neere 500. errours yea in correcting and controling the mightie word of God and also haue interlaced their writings with such contrarietie of matter as one parte of their owne books may serue to confute the other with infinite absurdities yea and by your leaue to even flat treason Jack Many good men did neuer judge the bishop of Winchester to be but an hipocrite Puritane He is a most bitter man to all those that feare God and haue to deale with him for he may well be compared to a horse with a galde backe that hath bin so rubd that he winces frets and chafes so that he is ready to throwe himselfe to vtter destruction with purpose to hurt him that rubd him Even so this Bishop takes to himselfe so much libertie in abusing and profaning the holy worde of God against those that write in the Lords cause against their vnlaweful callings and that I feare me to the endangering both of body and soule Iacke I haue heard that when he was at Lincolne he dealt not so hardly with the ministers as nowe he doth and that often in his Sermons at Northampton he woulde confesse that the Discipline was vsed and practised in the Primitiue Churche a long time after the Apostles Puritane It is very true yet he saith in his book against Martin that the holy Discipline is a platform deuised he knowes not by whome And in an other place of the same booke he confesses that it was practised by the Apostles and long time after in the Primitiue Church and vppon the words where he saith it is not denied there is pasted at
