Their wepoÌ„s armor was lost by gods puruciaÌ„ce They did I assure you behaue themselues nobly To requite the kings grace they had good perseuerance Pondeâ—ing the preferment by his magnanimitie This notwithstanding the commons besides Doncaster Ascribed a Carter to a King coequall in degrée With coshe Crommoke coshe I would we had thée here Like sauage beastes loosed and put to their libertie Enioying in the splendent after obscuritie Deuising and inuenting Articles presumptuous Euery one discording from other verily Two Gentlemen did open their quarel contentious But one lanterne of Englande and patrone of defence A shield for vs Borials and floure of audacitie The Duke of Norfolke with all his violence To the kings armie Royall to Doncaster came he With the noble prince Pere of the kings consanguinitie The Marques of Exeter nigh to the bloud Royall With the auncient Lord th therle of Shrewesbury Whose truthe in decrepitie approueth the tryall Their veritie to their Prince my hart hath enrachened Like a woman rauished with the rase of loue esprised And many nobles mo them selues so well demeaned That of me their worthynesse it can not be deuised As Th erle of Surrey with these Earles comprised That is to say of Huntington and Rutlande also With many other nobles which was there surmised And as for Lords honorable there was many mo Thus lay they in Doncaster with Curtall Serpentine With Bombard Basilisk with men prone vigorous The Commons knew it not to them it was claudestine That made them more malapart and also more rigorous For they sent home for money their harts was so furious Purposing openly at London to holde a Parliament But the king herauld came to know their minds furious Uiewing them twise or thrise with faire words diligeÌ„t But ere the Battell was ready procincte and proponed Sir Arthure Darcy knight with the coÌ„mons was segregate And fled to the kings grace and by the way commoned With the duke of Norff. where promtly he promulgate All the Commons priuitie and I suppose effugate He was by the consent of his brother confiducion For at the first rising sir George with letters ornate Aduertised all gentlemen to leaue that ill conclusion But wheÌ„ the duke of Norf. of the Barons had intelligeÌ„ce And so many knights squires with the coÌ„mons in defeÌ„ce It incrampished his hart that they should make pretence Weying his fathers honor by their magnificence Their antique zeale amitie he thought to recompence Bringing both the parts to a communication So diuers of the principals met with diligence Concluding a purpose with good deliberation So sir Rafe Ellerker and Robert Bowes Esquire With the articles intitled went to the kings maiestie The battels both prorumped and went euery where For the duke behight to intercéede in their sedulitie In causes reasonable but not in their cecitie And so within a moneth according to promission An answere correspondent to their secularitie Was made by the kings grace to their whole petition The firste Article To the first article Fayth the kings grace replied It was a terme to general that which they did present But if they meaned christes faith he was the prince the certified That the sincere puritie therof was his intent And like a valiaunt prince he spake these words vrgent Who dare set his foote to ours the contrary to proue And said he reckned learned he was what the faith ment Marueling that the ignorant in this thing shold him moue To the Article To know which fayth was prudeÌ„ce perceiuing we Christians He hath herd of such heresies as of the Selcucians Of Sabelline and Neotus with the Patrispassians The Origenistes the Ebionites and the Donacianes The Epicures the Iacobites with the Nestoriens Of Seuerus of Menander and eke of Valentine The Antropomorphites and also the Spalmeniens The Ariens and Manacheis of Pallas and Scotine Also of Marcio Basillid es and Saturnius Of Carpocrates of Photyne and of Macedonius Of Chiliastes of Corinthius and of Heluidius Of Eutiches Galanus and also Seleucius Of Eunonius Elsesates with many a secte mo Of Montanus of Apelles and also Nouatus And Samosatenses and Appolinarius also With Antichrist the Romane the Idoll monstruous This is the groue image which the sinful world Manasses Put in the congregation the house perpetuall This is the Idoll shepheard which Zachary doth expresse And also the deuourer the false God Baall An vnshamefull King with faces Daniell doth him call This is the Iudge in earth in the xviij of Luke expressed For wée haue lost our Husband Chryst with his bloud royal And Sathan our enimie he is not yet oppressed This is the childe of perdition prophesied of by Paule In our conscience sitting Gods Temple verament The Apocalips fysgyg the whoore Babilonicall Of whom Prophets Apostles rehearseth words tâ—rgâ—t Nowe to this particle fayth was it not expedient They to haue recognised what fayth was their intention For besides Christs faith there reigneth faithes negligeÌ„t As Turke Iew Pagane with Mahâ—mites inuention As touching Christes faith sithence Christes incarnation Neither Emperour nor king nor prince of nobilitie Was like to the kings grace for in his conuocation The Anabaptists and Pelagians confuted hath he And permitted shadowes positiue of olde antiquitie For error of the people by a new altercation And also shewed like Gods knight elect in fidelitie Chrystes bloud and his death with the true iustification Of Fayth But to the misbeléeuers I put this proposition By way of interrogatorie if one of them should dye And know no refuge nor no propiciation But in Mormet in fistill they should euer lye And the prince they offended should fortune come theÌ„ by And say loue my friends and forgiue as I will thée And when thou can not repent my sonne shal for thée die And doo but this to day and rewarded shalt thou bée For to morrow thy riches shal abounde like to Croesus Thy force â–ª like Hercules thy sapience like Salomon Thou shalt haue meates delicate far aboue Vitellus In fame like Alexander thy fortune like Gedeon The luste of Augustus the pulchritude of Absolon The science of Aristotle and his Philosophie As facunde in Rethorike as was king Amphion With the health of Galen and age of Methusalie What man liuing considering this gratitude But for loue of this Prince feare of this miserie And for hope of this ioy but with his fortitude He would one day labour and suffer aduersitie And passe for no riches nor yet of iocunditie Nor of no fortune dolorous nor yet of no payne Nor of meate drinke ne cloth ne no felicitie But would fayne haue to morrow this glory to obtayne Then may we consider Adams disobedience By whose transgression equitie hath giuen death eternal And as for Moyses law it gathered more offence To the highe deitie and Plasmator potentiall Tooke pitie and mercy to make his sonne carnall And Sathanas hath loste him for all his temptation
battels by Otho was magnified But pouertie at the length was the diffinition Rose not Maxencius with Knights of the Pretorie Against Seuerus and Galerius Augustus And Seuerus Knightes betrayed him by Trecherie And then came assistaunce of noble Herculius Which was onely father to the saide Maxentius Prouoking Dioclesian for to take the dignitie But in my coniecture this was to them dolorous Pondring this mutable and sodeine diuersitie There Marcus the Consull in Italie confounded Three score thousand Riotors of that domination And also Metredas in force which abounded Contrarie to alegiance made great litigation Aboue twentie yeares with great confutation But in the sequele as Fortune did execute Destroyed was he and his procreation His posteritie slaine his Regions destitute The Bible is euident how Sichem congregation By slaying of Abimeleck them selues made fatigate And the storye Iudicum maketh cleare declaration How a Concubine was wrapped with lecherie insatiate Whose husband in twelue her members mutilate Sending to the Tribes with great lamentation Wherefore Israell had almost abrogate The whole tribe of Beniamin for their abomination In the seconde booke of Samuell it is playne expressed How Absolons disobedience and false peruersitie Made himselfe to be slayne and Israell oppressed With great effusion of bloude by his dualitie By the doughtinesse of Dauid and his nobilitie And eke Achitophell the counseller sapient Was so dispaired and in perplexitie That he hanged himselfe the traitor negligent Fiue hundred thousand of Israell were slaine necated Of the house of Ieroboam their king and principal In Paralipomenon it is cleare dilated How Abia of Iuda destroyed them for beliall And Iehu slew Achab and his sonnes collaterall Uanquished his bloud his stocke and Genealogie And also Ochosias of Iuda most royall Was slaine and his bretherne by Iehues conspiracie Sundry ingratitudes amongs the Iewes haue bene As Saul against Dauid and Ioab with Abnere And the séede of Ochozias with Alathia the Quéene With deuiding of Kingdomes as plainly doth appéere Of Iuda and Israell which was the cause cléere Of their captiuitie and the transmigration For diuers heades made diuers Gods seyre Wherefore God gaue them vp to their great damnation The bookes of Machabes discribeth the perturbance Of the male Caliditie that came by Alcinous To them pestiserous and to their great doliance Besides the destruction of noble Machabeus And eke the discorde of yong Antiochus Against Phillip the Traytor disloyal With the treason of Triphon against King Demetrius With the vniustnesse of Iason the théefe most vnnaturall In Iosephus we may sée that the Iewes for Rebellion Were conquered of Titus the sonne of Vaspasian And other stories say ther was slayne a Mylion With a hundreth M. moe and C. thousand tane And afterward contempt oppressed them by Adrian And cleane deiect them from their habitation Making in Ierusalem Foreners remayne And now pay they tribute in euery other Nation What should I recounte the Rebellion of Cresius With a thousand such moe to make macrologie My matter to prolong it were but superfluous But yet I will rehearse to touch somewhat briefly As concerning England our owne natiue Countrey For why the Auctors do wonderously dissent Therefore I will rehearse to this antilloquie But only the cognisaunce which appéereth verament This Region was maculate and put to rapacitie With the force of the Danes by Buerne contention And slaine was King Edmund King Osbridge and Ellée And ouer this one Mordred he made false preuention With Arthur his Soueraigne with such great dissention That only it caused not greate desolation But also perturbed the Royall intention From the Romaine Diademe with the Coronation Iulius Caesar for all his audacitie Was twice expulsed of Cassibolanus And made to recuile for all his Artillerie To the maledict conflict of one Andragius The Earle of London a Traitour contagious Whose ayde procurement and false introduction Foundred al Britaine from the estate prosperous And made vs be subiect to our great destruction Sithens the Conquest hath ben mischiefe inestimable As against king Stephen Maude the Empresse excitation But Henry the yonger an acte more myrable Contended with his Father with strife and mination What sapience was héere in this procuration To subdue his Father by his conuexitie Was not the Deuill in this inclination To make such discorde amongst the commontie The well redoubted king in act as most martiall Richard Curedelion from his Conquest ineffable Was made to recule by his brother naturall Pretending the Crowne with wayes inexecrable But alas for sorowe this Prince inexpugnable Was taken by the way but yet difficulate At the last was he with Raunsom innumerable And his enimies were taken and cleane exuperate I am ashamed to pronounce to publish and declare The Baronage commotion against Iohn their King And how to extringe his Sonne they did compare It museth my mynde suche naughty demeaning But what was the finall that came by transgressing Murder and death to the Realme right exial Destroying of Fortresses which yet is remayning Subduing of Townes to vs all preiudiciall Thomas Earle of Lancaster was hanged and decollate With sixtene Barrons moe in Edward the secoÌ„ds days The filthy demeanor

a corrosie alwayes For Mortimer was slaine for all his pompositie Iacke Straw Wat Tiler that Chiestains of Essex Kent Against Richard the seconde began to make pretence But after a little rumour on Gallous were they hente By fortie by fyftie this was their best defence And the Earâ—â— of Ratcot bridge which had the preheminence By processe were slaine with doth enterlarded For iniquitie by Iustice of very congruence Against true alegiance is oft thus rewarded The Dukes of Surrey and Exeter with treason infect With the Earle of Glocester the Earle of Salisburie Pretended in a mumming like traitours detect To â—lea their liege Lorde the noble fourthe Henry But headed were they with all their affinitie By the Commons purveyance and the diuine regiment In likewise with battell was

Bardolfe with the Earle of NorthumberlaÌ„d Was instigate to insurge their Prince to illude To their intermission the veritie to conclude For by the Commons they were hanged and inquinate Here may be perceyued how that a small valitude Wyll reskue a Prince from subiects insaciate In the dayes of the sixth Henrie Iacke Cade made a brag With a multitude of people but in the consequence After a
