not the chyldehode of youthe in him to be reproued For so might kynge Iosias haue bene reproued whych began to reigne in the .viii. yeare of hys age iiii Regum xxii and kynge Dauid discommended for being the yongest of his brethrē i. Reg xvii whose prayses are neuertheles habundaunt in the scriptures Ioas beyng but .vii. yeares old was a kyng also and for the tyme of his youth pleased God what though in hys age he ded otherwyse In England here kyng Hēry the vi was but .viii. yeares old king Hēry the third ix yeares olde and kynge Edwarde the third scarse xv yeares of age when they were crowned kynges yet was there neuer chronycle writer nor yet honest faythfull and obedient subiect that euer called them poore chyldren But with reuerence and honour euen from the first daye of their reignes toke them alwayes for whole

on y e vnshamefast face of hys whorysh mother the monstruouse madame of Rome whych is full of the names of basphemye Apo. xvii Hym hath our eternal God most graciously gyuē vnto vs in the latter age of his noble father not without euydent miracle and wyll preserue hym no doubt to his owne glorye and welthe of thys realme in spyght of all hys popysh enemyes if we be not vnthākefull Hys wurthie

abolishing the most shameful idolatries of Antichrist besides his other actes for publyque affayres ye shal find at this day no christen prynce lyke to hym Now foloweth the secōd part of the

y e faithful coūsel of so vertuouse Christen a king Who cā thā deny them to be the tabernacle of God specially whā they wyth all endeuer possyble haue sought and yet daily seketh clerly to bānysh out of thys christen realme the manyfolde abhomynacyons of Antichrist or idolatryes without nombre Which he by his smoky locustes y e mōkes and shauen prestes hathe craftely planted here contynually from tyme to tyme euer sens the dayes of that wycked Emproure Phocas Who can denye them I saye yet ones agayne to be y t seyd tabernacle or chosen māsyon of God eyther that cōgregaciō amonge whome he dwelleth by promesse Luke x et Ioan. xiiii Whan they so earnestly labour to place here in Englād the true relygyō agayne aud to set vp hys true worshippinges as in the primatiue church of the

contrarye wyth lyes after theyr leude lykynges that had it not bene in the feare of God theyr kinges true obedyence agaynst the wycked Antichrist they coulde neuer haue propounded so godly lawes And hauyng God presently assistent vnto thē as all they haue which seketh hys only glory they can not be so far to hys heauenly wyll contrariouse as their vyle report is in the quarel of that horrible monster No they are no suche wauerynge reedes as for a Christen commen welthe are thys yeare of one mynde and the nexte yeare wyll be of an other No truly it standeth not so wyth the vnchaungeable wysdome of Christes sprete wherin they haue earnestly wrought for tyme of the prosperouse raygne of our present Iosias Theyr foūdaciō haue they set vpō so sure a rocke euen vpon Gods wurd that neither winde nor water stormy tempest nor wether can ouerthrowe it Math. vii Neyther shall the great gates of hell nor yet the stronge power of Sathan euer preuayle agaynste it Math xvi Neyther yet the
