A04923	The appellation of Iohn Knoxe from the cruell and most iniust sentence pronounced against him by the false bishoppes and clergie of Scotland, with his supplication and exhortation to the nobilitie, estates, and co[m]munaltie of the same realme.	Knox, John, ca. 1514-1572.; Gilby, Anthony, ca. 1510-1585. An admonition to England and Scotland.; Kethe, William, d. 1608?	1558 (1558)	STC 15063; ESTC S106719	70,824	162

Prophetes with the sayinges of Dauid or of this holy sainct of God Iohn the Baptist but with our sauiour Christs two most swete parables of the two sonnes and of the tilme to whome he set his vineyard I will labour to set before your eyes your rebellion hypocrisie and crueltie if so I caÌ„ bring any of you to repentance Our sauiour Christe putteth furth this parable A certaine man had two sonnes aÌ„d he came to the first and said soÌ„ne go aÌ„d worke to day in my vineyard Who answered I will not but afterward repeÌ„ted and went Then came he to the second and said likewise and he answered I will syr but went not Wherein a wonderful comforte first is to be coÌ„sidered how the Lord our God maker of heaueÌ„ aÌ„d earth doth huÌ„ble him selfe not only to be called a maÌ„ a husbaÌ„d man a housholder aÌ„d such like but he abaseth hiÌ„selfe of mercie to vs vile earth and asshes that his sonne becometh maÌ„ to make mankynd glorious in his sight to make all those that do not refuse his grace offred of the slaues of Satan his sonnes by adoption You are his sonnes you are his vineyard you are as dear vnto hym as the apple of his eye as Moses speaketh if you can beleue it he sweareth that you shall be his inheritaÌ„ce and he will be yours if ye will only receiue his grace and beleue hym when he sweareth Will ye call his trueth into doubt his glorie into shame by your misbelefe Better it were that all creatures should perish heauen man and angels then that God should not haue credit or that his glorie in the least iote should be diminished He hath called you by his worde now many a tyme to worke in his vineyard I aske what you haue answered your conscience can witnesse and all the world seeth it SoÌ„me of you haue said plaine lyke rebellious childreÌ„ that ye would not do it that ye would not worke in your fathers vineyarde Shall I applie this part to Scotland I may right well do it and also to a greate parte in England But Scotland in dede called most plainely and euidently through the mercies of God both by their own faithfull countrie men and also by earnest trauail of our English nation to comme to the Lords vineyard in the tyme of king Edward hath to the domage of both coÌ„tinually refused as the coÌ„science of many this day beareth witnesse That tyme as ye know the vineyarde in EnglaÌ„d by the children of God was not all togither neglected and theÌ„ most earnestly were ye O Brethren of Scotland required to ioyne haÌ„des with vs iÌ„ the Lords worke but Satan alas would not suffer it His old fostred malice and Antichrist his sonne could not abyde that Christ should grow so strong by ioynynge that ile togither in perfect religioÌ„ whome God hath so many waies coupled aÌ„d streÌ„gthended by his worke in nature the papistes practised all theyr fyne craftes in England Scotland and in France that the Ghospellers should not with so strong walles be defensed lest this one iland should becoÌ„me a safe sanctuarie as it began to be to all the persecuted in all places They moue sturdie stomackes they dispens with periuries they worke by theyr craftie coÌ„fessions they raise vp warre in the end whereby ye deare Brethren of Scotland were sore plaged Of all these traiterouse sleghtes ye can not be ignorant For yet it is not passed the memorie of man that your king made promisse to haue mett king HeÌ„rie the eght att Yorke â–ª whose purpose albeit in other things I do not alow him in that case was most godlie and praise worthie For it was to make an end of that vngodlie warre and cruell murther which loÌ„ge had coÌ„tinued betwixt the two realms Your king I say made promisse to mete him the breche whereof as it was the occasion of much trouble so is it euidently knowen that your Cardinal and his clergie laboured and procured the same For it is not vnknowen to somme amongest you how many thousand crownes the churchmen did promisse for maintenance of the warre which king Henrie did denouÌ„ce by the reason of that breche Superfluous it were to me to recite all the causes mouing your pestilent preestes to solicitat your king to that infidelitie But this is moste euident that they feared nothing but the fall of their glorie and the trouble of their kingdome which then in England beganne to be shaken by suppressing of the abbaies This moued your preestes ernestly to labour that your kinge should falsly breake his promisse But what affliction ye sustained by that and other their practises your selues can witnesse For your borderrs were destroyed your nobilitie for the most parte were takeÌ„ prisoners and your king for sorowe sodenly died But these your miseries did nothing moue your preestes to repentance but rather did inflame them against God and against the ê“pfit of their natiue realme For when againe after the death of your kiÌ„ge your freÌ„dship and fauours were soght first by king HeÌ„rie and after his death by king Edward his sonne aÌ„d by him who theÌ„ was chosen Protectour how craftely I say did theÌ„ your preestes vndermine all ye are not ignoraÌ„t When your Gouernoure with the consent of the most part of the nobilitie had soleÌ„nely sworne iÌ„ the abbay of Haliroode house syr Raphe Sadler theÌ„ being embassadour for EnglaÌ„d to perfurm the mariage coÌ„tracted betwixt king Edward and your yonge quene and faithfully to stand to euerie point coÌ„cluded and agreed ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ perfurmaÌ„ce of that vnioÌ„ when seales were interchanged and the embassadour dimissed what sturr tumult and sedition raised your Cardinal in that your realme it is not vnknowen To witt how that by his craft and malice the realme was deuided the Gouernour compelled to seke his fauour to violate his oth and so to becomme iÌ„famous for euer And finally by the pride of the papistes was that leage broken But what did thereof ensue Edinburgh Leith DuÌ„die yea the most part of the realme did fele Your shippes were stayed your gooddes were lost your chefe townes were burned and at the end the beautie of your real me did fall in the edge of the sworde the hand of God manifestly feghting against you because against your solemne oth ye did feght against them who soght your fauours by that godlie coÌ„iunction which before was promised But still proceaded your ennemies the clergie and theire adhereÌ„tes in theyr purposed malice WoÌ„der not that I terme them your ennemies For albeit they be your countrie men yet because they seke nothing more then the maiÌ„tainaÌ„ce of their owne kiÌ„gdome which is the power of darckns aÌ„d the king dome of Antichrist they are becomme coÌ„iured ennemies to euerie citie nation or man that labour to comme to the knolledge of the trueth That pestilent generation I say did not cease till they obteined their purpose by deliueringe your yonge quene to the handes of the French king assuredly

mindinge by that meanes to cutt for euer the knot of the frendship that might haue ensued betwixte England and Scotland by that godlie coniunction What the papistes feared is manifest For then Christe Iesus being more purely preached in England then at any tyme before would shortly haue suppressed their pride and vaine glorie and therefore they raged that he should not reigne aboue them also But what is like to apprehend you for because ye did not betymes withstaÌ„d their most wicked couÌ„sils wise men do coÌ„sider How heauie and vnpleasant shall the burthen and yock of a Frenchman be to your shoulders aÌ„d necks God graunt that experience do not teach you But to returne to my former purpose by all those means rehersed by his messeÌ„gers by the blood of his saincts shed amoÌ„gest you by fauours aÌ„d frendship by warre and the sword yea by famin aÌ„d pestileÌ„ce aÌ„d all other meaÌ„s hath God your mercifull father called you to labour in his vineyard but to this day alas we heare not of your huÌ„ble obedience but stil ye say with stubburn faces we will not labour we will not be bouÌ„de to such thraldome to abide the burthens of the vineyard Ye think perchaÌ„ce I am to sharpe and that I accuse you more then you deserue For amoÌ„gest you many do know the will of your father and many make profession of his Ghospel but coÌ„sider BrethreÌ„ that it is not enoug he to know the coÌ„mauÌ„demeÌ„t and to ê“fesse the same in mouthe but it is necessarie that ye refuse your selues your owne pleasures appetites and your owne wisdome if ye shall be iudged faithfull labourers in the Lordes vineyard aÌ„d that ye beare the burthens togiter with your brethren and suffre heate and sweate before ye taste the frutes with them God will not stand content that ye loke ouer the hedge and beholde the labours of your brethreÌ„ but he requireth that ye put your haÌ„des also to your labours that ye trauail continually to pluck vpp all vnprofitable wedes albeit in so doing the thornes pricke you to the hard bones that ye assist your brethreÌ„ in theyr labours thoghe it be with the icopardie of your lifes the losse of your substance and displeasure of the hole earthe Except that thus ye be minded to labour the Lord of the vineyarde wil not acknolledge you for his faith full seruantes And because this matter is of weight and greate importance I will speake soÌ„what more plainely for your instruction It is bruted to the greate comfort of all godlie that heare it that somme of you deare Brethren of Scotland do desire Christ Iesus to be faithfully preached amoÌ„gest you which thing if froÌ„ the heart you desyre and with godlie wisdome and stowt courrage folow your purpose and enterprise ye shall be blessed of the Lord for euer But in the begynnyng ye must beware that ye folow not the exaÌ„ple of your brethreÌ„ of EnglaÌ„d in whose handes albeit the worke of the Lord appeared to prosper for a time yet because the eye was not single we see to our grief the ouer throw of the same They began to plante Christ Iesus in the heartes of the people aÌ„d to baÌ„nish that Romish Antichrist they did driue owt the fylthie swyne froÌ„ theyr dennes and holes I mean the monkes and other such papisticall vermin from their cloisters aÌ„d abbayes This was a good be ginning but alas in the one and the other there was great faulte For the banishiÌ„g of that Romish Antichrist was rather by the feare of the lawes pronouÌ„ced against him by actes of parlameÌ„t theÌ„ by the liuelie preachiÌ„g of Christ Iesus aÌ„d by the discoueriÌ„g of his abominatioÌ„s And the suppressioÌ„ of the abbaies did rather smell of auarice theÌ„ of true religioÌ„ Those venemous locustes which before were holdeÌ„ within their cloisters were then set abrode to destroy all good aÌ„d grene herbes For superstitious freers ignoraÌ„t moÌ„ks aÌ„d idle abots were made archbishoppes bishoppes persons vicars aÌ„d such as oght to fede the soules of men â–ª who thus set at libertie did coÌ„tinually wrootup the Lords vineyard And one crafty Gardener whose name was Stephen hauiÌ„g wolflik coÌ„ditioÌ„s did maiÌ„taiÌ„ many a wolfe did sow wicked seed in the gardeÌ„ aÌ„d cherished many weedes to deface the vineyard And his maid Marie who after was his mastres now maried to Philip waÌ„tiÌ„g no wil to wickednes wheÌ„ she was at the weakest norsto make to do euill when she gatt the mastrie did cherishe many weedes Those two I say haue so broken the hedges of the same vineyarde God so punishing the sinnes of those that oght to haue made better prouision for the same that the husbandmen are hanged vp the diggars dressours and planters are banished prisoned and burned Such hauock is made that al wilde beastes haue power to pollute the sanctuarie of the Lorde O heauens beholde her crueltie o earthe cry for vengeance o seas and deserte mountains witnesses of her wickednes break furthe against this monster of England But whether do I runne by the bitternes of my grefe I must nedes leaue the o Scotland after that I haue aduertised the of this that thou folow not the example as I haue said of EnglaÌ„d but in the bowels of Christ Iesus I exhorte the that if thou preteÌ„dest any reformatioÌ„ in religion which is the chefe labour of the vineyarde that thou do it at the first with a single eye and all simplicitie that from yeare to yeare thou be not compelled to change as was England but let thy reformation be full and plaine according to goddes holie will and worde without addition Let all the plaÌ„tes which thy heauenly father hath not planted be rooted owt at once let not auarice blind the neither yet wordlie wisdome discourage thy hearte let none beare the name of a teacher that is knowen to be a fosterer of superstitioÌ„ or any kynde of wickednes And thou so doing shalt moue God of his greate mercie to send vnto the faithfull worke men in abundaÌ„ce to blesse the worke that thou preteÌ„dest in the vineyarde aÌ„d to preserue the to the glorie of his own name and to thy euerlasting comforte Thus must thou Scotland repent thy former inobedience if that thou wilt be approued of the Lord. And now do I return to the O EnglaÌ„d I do liken the to the secoÌ„de sonne in the parable which answered his father with flattering wordes saying I go father but yet he went not at all For sence the time that I had any remembrance our heaueÌ„lie father of his great mercies hath not ceased to call the in to his vineyard and to these late daies thou hast said alwayes that thou woldest enter and be obedient In the tyme of king Henrie the eght when by Tyndale Frith Bylnay and other his faithfull seruantes God called EnglaÌ„d to dresse his vineyard many promised full faire whome I could name But what frute folowed nothing but bitter grapes yea breeres and brambles the wormewood of auarice the

EnglaÌ„d vnto such a noÌ„bre I say it is Laufull to punish the idolatours with death if by anie meanes God geue them the power For so did Iosua and Israel determine to haue done against the childreÌ„ of RubeÌ„ Gad aÌ„d Manasses for their suspected apostasie aÌ„d defectioÌ„ from God And the hole tribes did in verie dede execute that sharpe iudgemeÌ„t agaiÌ„st the tribe of BeÌ„iamin for a lesse offeÌ„ce then for idolatrie And the same oght to be done whersoeuer Christ Iesus aÌ„d his EuaÌ„gill is so receaued iÌ„ any realme ê“uince or citie that the Magistrates aÌ„d people haue solemnely auowed aÌ„d promised to defeÌ„d the same as vnder king Edward of late dayes was done in EnglaÌ„d In such places I say it is not only lawful to punish to the death such as labour to subuert the true religioÌ„ but the magistrates aÌ„d people are bouÌ„d so to do onles they wil prouoke the wrath of God agaiÌ„st theÌ„ selues And therfor I fear not to affirm that it had bene the duetie of the nobilitie iudges rulers aÌ„d people of EnglaÌ„d not only to haue resisted and againstanded Marie that Iesabel whome they call their quene but also to haue punished her to the death with all the sort of her idolatrous Preestes together with all such as should haue assisted her what tyme that shee and they openly began to suppresse Christes Euangil to shedd the blood of the saiÌ„cts of God ad to erect that most diuellish idolatrie the papistical abominatioÌ„s aÌ„d his vsurped tyrannie which ones most iustly by coÌ„mune oth was banished from that realme But becaus I caÌ„ not at this present discusse this argument as it appertaineth I am coÌ„pelled to omitt it to better opportunitie and so returning to your Honours I say that if ye confesse your selues baptised in the Lord Iesus of necessitie ye must confesse that the care of his religion doth appertaine to your charge And if ye know that in your haÌ„des God hath put the sworde for the causes aboue expressed theÌ„ caÌ„ ye not denie but that the punishement of obstinate and malepert idolatours such as all your bishoppes be doth appertaine to your office yf after admonition they coÌ„tinew obstinat I am not ignoraÌ„t what be the vaine defeÌ„ses of your proude prelates They claime first a prerogatiue and priuiledge that they are exempted and that by consent of Councils and Emperours from all iurisdiction of the temporaltie And secoÌ„darely when they are coÌ„uicted of manifest impieties abuses and enormities aswell in their maners as in religion neither fear nor shame they to affirme that thinges so longe established can not suddenly be reformed althogh they be corrupted but with processe of tyme they promisse to take order But in few wordes I answer that no priuiledge graunted against the ordenance and statutes of God is to be obserued althogh all Councils and men in the earth haue appointed the same But against goddes ordenance it is that idolatours murtherours fals teachers and blasphemers shall be exeÌ„pted from punishement as before is declared and therefore in vaine it is that they claym for priuiledge when that God sayeth The murtherer shalt thou riue from my alter that he may die the death And as to the order and reformatioÌ„ which they promisse that is to be loked or hoped for when Satan whose children and slaues they are can chaÌ„ge his nature This answer I doubt not shall suffice the sober aÌ„d godlie reader But yet to the end that they may further see their own confusion and that your Honours may better vnderstaÌ„d what ye oght to do in so manifest a corruption and defectioÌ„ from God I aske of them selues what assurance they haue for this their immunitie exemption or priuiledge who is the auctour of it and what frute it hath produced And fyrst I say that of God they haue no assurance neither yet can he be proued to be auctour of anie suche priuiledge But the contrarie is easie to be seen For God in establishing his orders in Israel did so subiect Aaron in his preesthode being the figure of Christ to Moses that he feared not to call him in iudgement and to constrain hym to giue accomptes of his wicked dede in consenting to idolatrie as the historie doth plainely witnesse For thus it is written Then Moses toke the calf which they had made and burned it with fier and did grind it to powder and scattering it in the water gaue it to drink to the children of Israel â–ª declaring herebie the vanitie of their idol and the abomination of the same and thereafter Moses said to Aaron what hath this people done to the that thou shouldest bring vpon it so great a syn Thus I say doth Moses call and accuse Aaron of the destruction of the hole people and yet he perfectly vnderstode that God had appointed hym to be the high Preest that he should bear vpon his shoulders aÌ„d vpoÌ„ his breast the names of the 12. tribes of Israel for whome he was appointed to make sacrifice praiers aÌ„d supplications He knew his dignitie was so great that only he might entre within the most holie place but neither could his office nor dignitie exempt hym from iudgemeÌ„t when he had offended Yf any obiect Aaron at that tyme was not anointed aÌ„d therefore was he subiect to Moses I haue answered that Moses being taught by the mouth of God did perfectly vnderstaÌ„d to what dignitie AaroÌ„ was appointed and yet he feared not to call hym in iudgement and to coÌ„pell hym to make answer for his wicked fact But if this answer doth not suffice yet shall the holie Ghost witnesse further in the matter SalomoÌ„ remoued from honour Abiathar being the high preeste and coÌ„maunded him to cease from all function and to liue as a priuate man Now if the vnction did exempt the preest from Iurisdiction of the ciuile Magistrate Salomon did offend and iniured Abiathar For he was anoynted and had caried the ark before Dauid But God doth not reproue the fact of Salomon neither yet doth Abiathar claime anie prerogatiue by the reason of his office but rather doth the holie Ghost approue the fact of Salomon sayinge SalomoÌ„ eiected furth Abiathar that he should not be the Preest of the Lord that the word of the Lord might be perfurmed which he spake vpon the house of Eli. And Abiathar did think that he obtained great fauour in that he did escape the present death which by his conspiracie he had deserued Yf anie yet reason that Abiathar was no otherwise subiect to the iudgement of the king but as he was appointed to be the executour of that sentence which God before had pronounced as I will not greatly denie that reason so require I that euerie man consider that the same God who pronounced sentence against Eli and his house hath pronounced also that idolaters hooremongers murtherers and blasphemers shall neither haue portion in the kingdome of God neither oght to be
