in the time of your great outrage When no man myght your malice intreate So wilfull were ye of minde and corage Christ and his lawes sone to forget His electe to kyll malice and threate Of very constraint inforced to flee So cruell and merciles that time were ye ¶ Helpe or redresse none could they finde Their carefull life for to assure Their inspyred heartes their constant minde Inforced were lacke of recure To seke abrode their harde aduenture Where that they might with pure intent Christes religion for to augment ¶ Then into Wales they dyd approche Through Goddes prouidence his myght to Under many a stroÌ„g mighty roche shewe Builded their Chappels in desertes lowe In sondry places as men doth knowe As at this day plainely doth appere The places olde euident and clere ¶ This is no fayned inuencion Neither yet no curious fable Who lyst to loke without suspection Shall fynde it trewe and veritable Written by fathers honorable For a more concordant of Godly fame Our Churches at this day â—…reth their name ¶ Loke vp your stories and sentence olde Accompiyng the tyme yeares and season I dare affyrme Beyng so bolde To make herein a comparison With any Christen religion For lengthe of time bearyng good name Concernyng out fayth for any infame ¶ A thousand 300. fowre score twayne Sithen it floryshed fyrst with vs In the time of many a proude Romayne Martered was holy Euleutcrius In whose tyme raigned Lucius In Britaigne the famous region Then entered forth Christes religion ¶ This was in the yere of our Lorde An hundred six and fiftye playne After his byrthe stories doth accord Sithin the faythe came fyrst into Britaygne Among vs Brutes there to remayne As at this day ye may well see Neuer accused of Infidelite ¶ What place so constant sure and stable As at that tyme myght there be founde Like vnto Wales none so veritable No tiranny with vs there did abounde The Faith remayned full hole and sounde Accordyng to Christes religion Without spot or gall of infection To what place shuld they haue resorted To haue had redresse in this misery Or where shuld they haue ben supported Nether in Rome neither in Italy Nether in Spaine Fraunce or Germany Brefely to conclude this is manifest From the sonne risyng doune to the Weste Such tirantes that time had the gouernauÌ„ce That no man durste Christ to confesse Dispysed his lawes and in that instaunce In. xxx daies as Scripture doth witnesse Twenty thousand slayne this is doutlesse By Dioclesian raigning in the Easte And Maximinian do wne in the west ¶ Who euer harde of suche a sorte So vngracious and so vntrewe As were the Romaynes in their report To blaspheme our Lord Christ Iesu Affirmyng plaine this to be trewe That Rome neuer ioyousely prospered Sithin the faith among them entered ¶ Loke in the time of Arcadius There may ye se their false opinion Beyng Emperour with Honorius Unto their Idolles hauyng affection As sainct Austine maketh relacion In his boke called Ciuitate Dei Where he confoundeth their false Heresy ¶ My hand quaketh for fere and drede My heart of truthe beginneth to shrinke When I beholde this story to rede The teares weate distilleth my incke Oh Lorde to remember and thincke The crueltie mischefe and endles paine Among the Romains that time did raigne ¶ Who shuld but morne lament and wepe Consideryng all thynges of ryghte The vertuous with grace then replete Put in exile cleane out of syght The tirauntes great by force of myght Persecuted the innocent bloudde Thus with the Romains that time it stode To brefe my sentence the truthe to tel With vs in Wales none were opprest No tirauntes great with vs did dwelle There was the place of peace and rest Christ and his lawes for to degest None durst approche that to deny Agayne our faithe once to reply ¶ How may ye then with vs compare Or why do ye Welshmen defame Let your owne storâ—…es the truthe declare Ye are defectiue euen in the same As in reproche worthy of blame Innocentes gyltlesse to accuse In that your selfe most dothe abuse ¶ Of your nobles and Emperours all With Constantine make no comparison For his magnificence Imperiall Borne in Britaygn that famous region He was the fyrste of hearty affection That dyd decree al men to dye Christ and his lawes that wolde denye ¶ Unto the Churche for Christes sake Excelled all other before his time The Romayne Temples newely did make Dedicated them by sentence deuine To the honor of God and the orders nynâ—… With most mere and pure deuocion Gaue to the Church the fyrst possession ¶ To that intent from all indigence The ministers shuld stande at reste God for to serue with due reuerence All worldly thoughtes to be represt Uertue to increace this is manifest All solitary there for to abyde For the loue of Chryst this did he prouide Gaue goodes treasure with ornameÌ„ts large Amplifyde all thynges with great expence Made a decree and gaue in charge That all men shuld with due reuerence To Christes crosse kepe his obedience And was the fyrst in Banner and Shylde Crosses to peynt that bare in felde ¶ Oh most famous Coustantine To whom no Romayne might attayne Whose goodnesse the worlde did inlâ—…ine Borne in England then called Brytaygne Sonne of S. Helin the story is playne From Troy linially downe discended In Christes Churche most to be commeded ¶ But nowe a lacke all is reuersed Onely through fayned perfection For doubtles vertue was repressed When Constantine first of affection To Peters Churche gaue such possession Then obedience beganne to rebell Whiche caused pride Humilitee to expell ¶ O Rome Rome chaÌ„ge thi soil remoue thy BarreÌ„ bare fruteles is thy grouÌ„d place Yet vnto this day for lacke of grace Littell vertue in the there doth abound I dare alledge this world so rounde May not suffyce this present houre So satisfye thy head and gouernoure ¶ The cruell Emperours by force of warre Myght neuer suche ryches attayne Kingdomes to spoile countreis to marre As at this time the cause is playnâ—… With so smal trauayl and so great gayne Suche Policie there is inuented By seale and wax and parchment indented ¶ Solles for to saue ded gone and past But God alone no wight can tell Whether they be free or in payne caste In Paradice Heauen or in Hell Yet for money those solles wil they sell By auctoritee of Peter and Paule Pardon forgeue and release them all ¶ Thus Lord thy might thei wold â—…draw To whom mercy onely doth appertaigne As though they might in heuen make a lawe At their pleasure solles to detayne Some to release and some to remayne Like as they wolde for mede or hyre Some to acquite some leaue in the fire ¶ Oh Lorde aboue a damnable offence Among thy people suche erroures to bryng Against all trewthe and godly reuerence To haue a trust in any other thyng There is
