Who vpon small examination sent them some vnto the kinges Benche and others vnto the Marshalsea where they remained almost all the whole yere vntill the death of the sayd Bishop of Winchester and had during that time nothing said vnto them Wherupon after that Doctor Heath Archbishop of Yorke was choseÌ„ to the office of Lord Chauncellorshippe foure of these persecuted brethren being now wery of this theyr long imprisonmeÌ„t made theyr supplication vnto the said D.

Amen This Supplication was sent as is sayd and subscribed with the names of these 4. vnder folowing Richard Spurge Thomas Spurge George Ambrose Iohn Cauell * Richard Spurge VPon the receipt and sight hereof it was not long after but Syr Richard Read Knight then one of the Officers of the Court of the Chauncery 16. day of Ianuary was sent vnto the Marshalsea to examine the sayd foure prisoners therefore beginning first with Richard Spurge vpon certaine demaundes receiued his answeres therunto the effect whereof was that he with others were complayned vpon by the Parson of Bocking vnto the Lorde Rich for that they came not vnto theyr Parish Church of Bocking where they inhabited and therupon was by the sayd Lord Rich sent vnto the late Lord Chauncellour about the xxij day of March last past videl an 1555. And farther he sayd that he came not to the Church sithens the first alteration of the English seruice into Latin Christmasse day then a tweluemoneth only except that because he misliked both the same and the Masse also as not consonant and agreing with Gods holy word Moreouer he required that he might not be any more examined vpoÌ„ the matter vnles it pleased the Lord ChauÌ„cellour that then was to know his fayth therein which to him he would willingly vtter * Thomas Spurge THomas Spurge being then next examined made the same aunswere in effect that the other had done confessing that he absented himselfe from the church because the word of God was not there truely taught nor the Sacramentes of Christ duely ministred in such sort as was prescribed by the same word And being farther examined of his beliefe concerning the sacrament of the aultar he said that if any could accuse him thereof he would then make aunswere as God had geuen him knowledge therein ¶ George Ambrose THe like answere made George Ambrose adding moreouer that after he had read the late Byshop of Winchesters booke intituled De vera obedientia with Boners preface thereunto annexed inueying both against the authority of the Bishop of Rome he did much lesse set by theyr doinges then before ¶ Iohn Cauell IOhn Cauell agreyng in other matters with them aunswered that the cause why hee did forbeare the comming to the Churche was that the Parson there had preached two contrary doctrines For firste in a Sermon that hee made at the Queenes first entrye to the crowne he did exhort the people to beleue the Gospell for it was the truth and if they did not beleue it they shoulde be damned But in a second Sermon he preached that the Testament was false in forty places which contrariety in him was a cause amongest other of his absenting from the Church ¶ Robert Drakes ABout the fourth day of Marche next after Robert Drakes also was examined who was ParsoÌ„ of ThuÌ„dersley in Essex and had there remayned the space of three yeares He was first made Deacon by Doctour Taylour of Hadley at the commaundement of Doctour Cranmer late Archbyshop of CauÌ„terbury And within one yeare after which was the thyrd of the reigne of kyng Edward he was by the sayd Archbyshop and Doctour Ridley Bishop of London admitted Minister of Gods holy word Sacramentes not after the order then in force but after such order as was after established was presented vnto the sayd benefice of Thundersley by the Lord Rich at the
Mayster Berty writing his letters to the Lantgraue and to the Erle of Erbagh the next day early in the mornyng the Erle of Erbagh dwellyng within 8. miles came to the towne whether the Duchesse was broughte with her wagon M. Bertie also beyng in the same towne vnder custody The Earle who had some intelligence of the Duches before after hee was come and had shewed suche curtesie as hee thought to her estate was seemely the Townesmen perceyuyng the Earle to behaue hymselfe so humbly vnto her beganne to consider more of the matter and further vnderstandyng the Capitayne to bee alyue both they and especially the authors of the sturre shrunke away and made all the friendes they could to maister Bertie and his wife not to report their doyngs after the worst sorte And thus Mayster Bertie and his wife escaping that daunger proceeded in their iourney toward Polelande where in conclusion they were quietly entertayned of the king and placed honourably in the Earldome of the sayd king of Poles in Sanogelia called Crozā wher M. Berty with the Duchesse hauing the kings absolute power of gouernement ouer the saide Earldome continued both in great quietnesse and honoure till the deathe of Queene Mary ¶ Thomas Horton Minister AS yee haue heard of the daungerous troubles of the Duchesse of Suffolke in time of her exile for religion sake whom notwithstanding the Lordes present protection still deliuered in all distresses as well from her enemies in England as in Dutchland frō the Launceknightes there so haue we no lesse to behold and magnifie the lords mercifull goodnes in preseruing of Thomas Horton frō the like perilles of the same Countrey Whiche Thomas Horton what a profitable instrument hee was to the Church of Christ in Queene Maries time all our Englishmen almost beyond the seas then did both know and feele This good Thomas Horton as he vsed oftentymes to trauayle betweene Germany and England for the behoofe and sustenaunce of the poore English exiles there so he iournying vpon a time betweene Mastricke and Collē chaunced to bee taken there by certayne Rouers and so being led by them away was in no little daunger and yet this daunger of his was not so great but the present helpe of the Lord was greater to ayd and deliuer him out of the same ¶ Thomas Sprat of Kent Tanner VNto these afore rehearsed examples of Gods blessed prouidence towardes his seruauntes may also be added the happy deliueraunce of Thomas Sprat and William Porrege his companion now Minister Whose story briefly to course ouer is this This Thomas Sprat had bene seruaunt sometimes to one M. Brent a Iustice and a heauy persecutour and therefore forsaking his Mayster for religious sake he wēt to Calice from whence he vsed often with the sayd William Porrege for theyr necessary affayres to haue a recourse into England It so happened about the fourthe yeare of Queene Maryes raygne that they landing vppon a tyme of Douer and taking theyr iourny together toward Sandwich sodenly vppon the way within three myles of Douer met with the foresayd M. Brent the two Blachendens and other Gentlemen moe with theyr seruaunts to the number of x. or xii horses Of the which two Blachendens being both haters and enemies of Gods worde and people the one had perfect knowledge of William Porrege the other had not seene him but onely hadde heard of his name before Thus they being in the way where this Iustice wyth his mates shuld meete them directly in the face Thomas Sprat first espying M. Brent was sore dismayde saying to hys companion yonder is M. Brent William Porrege God haue haue mercy vpon vs. Well quoth the other seing now there is no remedy let vs go in our waye And so thinking to passe by them they kept themselues aloufe as it were a score off from them Thomas Sprat also shadowing his face with his cloke Notwithstanding one of M. Brentes seruauntes aduising him better then his mayster did yonder sayd he to his Mayster is Thomas Sprat At whiche wordes they all rayned theyr horses and called for Thomas Sprat to come to them They cal you sayd William Porrege Now here is no remedy but we are takē and so perswaded him to go to them being called for that there was no escaping from so many horsemen in those playnes and downes where was no wood neare them by a myle nor hedge neyther but onely one which was a byrdbolt shot off All this notwithstanding Sprat stayed and woulde not go Then they called agayne sitting still on horseback Ah sirra quoth the Iustice why come ye not hether And still his companion moued him to go seyng there was no other shift to flee away Nay sayd Sprat I will not goe to them and therwithall tooke hys legges running to the hedge that was next him They seeyng that sette spurres to their horse thinking by and by to haue hym and that it was vnpossible for him to escape their hands as it was in deede they beyng on horse backe and he on foote had not the Lorde myraculously deliuered his seely seruant frō the gaping mouth of the Lyon ready to deuour him For as God would so it fell out that hee had got ouer the hedge skrawling through the bushes when as they were euen at his heeles striking at him with theyr swords out of the Blachendens crying cruelly cut off one of hys legges Thus Sprat had scarsely recouered the hedge from hys enemies when one of M. Brentes seruaunts which had bene fellow sometymes in house with him followed him in hys bootes and certayne rode vp at one side of the hedge and certayne at the other to meete him at the vpper end Now while they were following the chase after Thomas Sprat onely one remayned with William Porrege who was one of the Blachendens not he whiche knewe him but the other who began to question with hym not asking what was hys name as God would for then hee had bene knowne and taken but from whence hee came and how he came into Sprats company and whether he went Unto whome he aunswered and sayd from Calyce and that Sprat came ouer with him in the passage boate and they two were goyng to Sandwich and so wythout any more questions he let him depart Anone as he kept along the hedge one of the horsemen which rode after Sprat returning backe and meeting with the sayd W. Porrege demaunded the very same questions as the other had done to whome he made also the like answere as afore and so departed taking an other contrary way from the meeting of the other horsman And thus W. Porrege escaped Now concerning Thomas Sprat he being pursued on the one side by horsemen on the other side by his own fellow who followed after hym in his bootes crying you were as good to tarry for we will haue you we will haue you yet notwithstanding he still kept on
like order or I will neuer depart hence So answeared maister Sanders and the rest of the preachers being there prisoners After that doctor Sands had bene 9. weekes prisoner in the Marshalsea by the mediation of syr Thomas Holcroft then Knight Marshall he was sette at libertye Syr Thomas sued earnestly to the Bishop of Winchester doctor Gardiner for his deliuerance after many repulses except doctor Sandes woulde be one of their secte and then he coulde want nothing He wroong out of him that if the Queene coulde like of his deliueraunce he woulde not be against it for that was Syr Thomas last request In the meane time he hadde procured two Ladies of the Priuie chamber to mooue the Queene in it Who was contented if the bishop of Winchester coulde like of it The next time that the Bishop went into the priuie Chamber to speake wyth the Queene master Holcroft followed and had his warrant for doctor Sandes remission readye and prayed the two Ladies when as the Bishoppe shoulde take hys leaue to put the Queene in minde of doctor Sandes So they did And the Queene sayde Winchester what thinke you by D. Sandes is he not sufficiently punished As it please your Maiestie sayeth Winchester That hee spake remembring his former promisse to M. Holcroft that hee woulde not be against D. Sandes if the Queene shoulde like to discharge him Sayeth the Queene Then truely we would that he were set at libertie Immediately M. Holecroft offered the Queene the Warrant Who subscribed the same and called Winchester to put too hys hande and so he did The Warrant was geuen to the Knighte Marshall againe Sir Thomas Holcroft As the Bishop went foorth of the priuie Chamber dore he called M. Holcroft to him Commaunding him not to set D. Sandes at libertie vntill he had taken suerties of two Gentlemen of his countrey with him euery one bounde in 500. pounds that D. Sands should not depart out of the realme without licence Master Holcroft immediatly after mette with two Gentlemen of the North friendes and cousins to D. Sandes who offered to be bounde in bodye goodes and landes for him At after dinner the same day M. Holcroft sent for D. Sandes to his lodging at Westminster requiring the Keeper to company with him Hee came accordingly fineding M. Holcroft alone walking in his garden Maister Holcroft imparted his long sute wyth the whole proceeding and what effect it had taken to Doctor Sandes muche reioycing that it was his good happe i◠to doe him good and to procure hys libertie and that nothing remained but that he would enter into bonds with his two suerties for not departinge oute of the Realme Doctour Sandes answeared I geue God thankes who hath mooued your heart to minde me so wel and I thinke my selfe most bounde vnto you God shall requite and I shall neuer be founde vnthankful But as you haue dealt friendly with me I will also deale plainly wyth you I came a free man into prison I will not goe foorth a bondman As I cannot benefite my frendes so will I not hurt thē And if I be set at libertie I will not tarie 6. dayes in this Realme if I may get out If therefore I may not goe free foorth sende mee to the Marshalsea againe and there you shall be sure of me This answeare much misliked M. Holecroft He told Doctor Sands that the time woulde not long continue a chaunge would shortly come the state was but a cloud would soone shake away And that his cousin sir Edward Bray woulde gladly receiue him and his wife into house where he should neuer nede to come at Church and how the Ladie Braye was a zealous Gentlewoman who hated Poperie Adding that he would not so deale with him to loose all his labour When D. Sandes coulde not be remooued from his former saying maister Holcrofte sayde Seeing you can not be altered I will chaunge my purpose and yeelde vnto you Come of it what will I wil see you at libertie And seeing you minde ouer Sea get you gone so quickely as you can One thing I require of you that while you are there you wryte nothing to come hether for so ye may vndo me He frendly kissed D. Sands bad him farewell and commaunded the Keeper to take no fees of him Saying let me answere Winchester as I may Doctour Sandes retourned with the keeper to the Marshalsee taried all night There on the morow gaue a dinner to all the prisoners bad his bedfellow and sworne stake fellowe if it had so pleased God maister Saunders farewell with manye teares and kissings the one falling on the others necke and so departed clearely deliuered without examination or bonde From thence hee went to the Benche and there talked with M. Bradforde and M. Farrar Bishop of Dauids then prisoners Then he comforted them and they praised God for his happie deliueraunce Hee went by Winchesters house and there tooke boate and came to a frends house in London called William Banks and taried there one night On the morrow at night he shifted to another frendes house and there hee learned that searche was made for him Doctor Watson and M. Christopherson commyng to the Bishop of Winchester told hym that hee had set at liberty the greatest heretike in England and one that had of all other most corrupted the Uniuersitie of Cambridge D. Sandes Whereupon the Bish. of Winchester beyng Chancellor of England sent for all the Constables of Lōdon commanding them to watch for D. Sands who was then within the Citie and to apprehend hym and who so euer of them should take hym and brin◠him to hym hee should haue v. pounds for his labour D. Sandes suspectyng the matter conueighed hymselfe by night to one M. Barties house a straunger who was in the Marshalsee with him prisoner a while he was a good Protestant and dwelt in Marke lane There he was sixe dayes and had one or two of his friends that repaired vnto hym Then he repaired to an acquaintance of his one Hurlestone a Skinner dwellyng in Cornehill hee caused hys man Quinting to prouide two geldings for hym mindyng on the morrow to ride into Essex to M.

Knight M. of the Rolles Iustice Weston Iustice Welch Iustice Southcotes Iustice Carowes IT is geuen to the Queenes Maiestye to vnderstand that certayne of her Subiectes by theyr euill dispositions do sow and spread abroad diuers sedicions to the derogation and dishonor first of almighty God in the state of Religion stablished by the lawes of this Realme and also to the dishonor of her highnesse in disprouing her lawfull right of supremacy amongest her subiectes And this that they doe is not done as in secrecy or by stealth but openly auouched in all companyes disputed on And thus by theyr bold attemptes seme not to obey or regard the authority of lawes nor the quiet of her subiectes As for example by bringing in and spreading abroad diuers leud libels and sedicious bookes from beyonde the seas and in suche boldnes that they do commend those writers in their sedicious bookes conteining manifest matter agaynste the estate established Which boldnesse of men so Vniuersally and euery where seene and heard cannot be thought to be done but by the comfort and ayd or at the least way winckt at by theÌ„ whoÌ„ the Queenes highnes hath placed in authority to repres these insolencyes And the Queenes highnes can not more iustlye charge any for this disorder then such who be in commissioÌ„s chosen to represse these disorders If it be aunswered me that they cannot see such opeÌ„ boldnes factious disorders I must say that they haue no eyes to see if they heare not of suche contemptuous talke and speeche I may say that they haue no eares I would haue those men iudge what will come of these vnbridled speeches in the end if reformatioÌ„s be not had therof What coÌ„meth of factions seditions we haue bene taught of late yeares what the fruites be which I beseech God long to defend vs from If such disorders be hot redressed by law then must force violence reforme Which when they take place may fortune fall assoone on theÌ„ that seeme to haue least consideration in this matter If force and violence preuayle then ye know that law is put to silence and cannot be executed which should onely maynteine good order If it be replyed agaynst me that to the suppressing of these open talkes there is no law which by speciall letter can charge any man offender I must say that whatsoeuer the letter of the law be the meaning of the law was and is cleane contrary to the liberty of these doinges If it be sayd that no man can be charged by the law except it can be proued agaynst him that his speeche and deedes be done maliciously what ye call malice I can not tel But if the bringing in of these sedicious bookes make meÌ„s mindes to be at variance one with one another destruction of mindes maketh sedicions seditions bring in tumults tumults worke insurrections and rebellion Insurrections make depopulations and desolations and bringeth in vtter ruine destruction of mens bodies goodes landes And if any sow the roote wherof these men come yet can be sayd that he hath no mallice or that he doth not maliciously labour to destroye both publicke priuate wealth I can not tell what act may be thought to be done maliciously And further if it be sayd to me that the man which should be charged with offeÌ„ce must be proued to haue done his acte aduisedly To that I answere If any bring in those hookes distribute them to others commend defend them yet can not be charged to haue done aduisedly I haue no skill of their aduisednesse If it be sayde that the law intreateth of such actes as be directly derogatory and of none other what is direct ouerthwarting the Law when the contrary thereof is playnely treated holden and defended and the truth by argumentes condemned It maye be sayd agayne that the worlde doth not now like extremitye in lawes penal and calleth them bloudy lawes As for extreme and bloudy lawes I haue neuer liked of them But where the execution of such lawes touching halfe a dosen offenders and the not execution may bring in daunger halfe a hundred I thinke this law nor the execution therof may iustly be called extreme and bloudy In such like comparison I may vtter my meaning as to make a difference betwene whipping hanging In deed though whipping may be thought extreme yet if by whipping a man may escape hanging in this respect not whipping bringeth in this bloudinesse and extremity and not the execution of the law And better it were a man to bee twise whipped then once hanged The paynes do differre but wise men will soone consider the diuersity The truth is to suffer disobedient subiectes to take boldnes agaynst the lawes of God their prince to wincke at the obstinate minds of such as be vnbridled in theyr affections to mainteine a forraigne power of the Byshop of Rome directly agaynst the Princes prerogatiue stablished by lawes is not this to hatch dissentioÌ„ to chearish sedition To extoll the writinges of such who by all their wittes deuise to supplant the princes lawfull authority If these doinges be not meanes to the disturbance vtter ruine of the Realme I know not what is good gouernance If these be not the sparkes of Rebellion What be they Thus much hauing spoken to your wisedomes I doubt not

Ghost as he did by the bread thys is my body Then mayster Ridley recited saynct Austen whiche conferred both the sacramentes the one with the other but the Byshoppe of Lincolne notwithstanding therevpon recited the third article and required a directe aunswere To whom Ridley sayd Rid. Chryst as saynct Paule wryteth made one perfecte sacrifice for the sinnes of the whole worlde neyther can anye man reiterate that sacrifice of his and yet is the Communion an acceptable sacrifice to God of prayse and thanksgeuing but to say that thereby sinnes are taken away whiche wholy and perfectly was done by Christes passion of the whiche the Communion is onely a memory that is a great derogation of the merites of Chrystes passion for the sacrament was instituted that wee receyuing it and thereby recognising and remembryng hys Passion shoulde be partakers of the merites of the same For otherwise doth this sacrament take vpon it the office of Christes Passion whereby it might follow that Christe dyed in vayne ¶ The Notaryes penned this hys aunswere to be affirmatiuely Then sayd the Byshop of Lincolne Lin. In deede as you alledge out of Sayncte Paule Christ made one perfecte oblation for all the whole world that is that bloudy sacrifice vpon the crosse yet neuerthelesse he hath lefte this sacrifice but not bloudy in the remembraunce of that by the whiche sinnes are forgeuen the whiche is no derogation of Christes Passion ¶ Then recited the Byshop of Lincolne the fourth article To the which M. Ridley aunswered Rid. That in some part the fourth was true in some parte false true in that those hys assertions were condemned as heresies although vniustly false in that it was sayde they were condemned scientia scholastica in that the disputations were in suche sorte ordered that it was farre from any schole acte ¶ This aunswere penned of the Notaryes the Byshop of Lincolne rehearsed the fift Article To the whiche he aunswered Rid. That the premisses were in suche sorte true as in these his aunsweres he had declared Whether that al men spake euill of them he knew not in that hee came not so much abroad to heare what euery man reported ¶ This aunswere also written of the Notaryes the bishop of Lincolne sayde Lin. To morow at eyght of the clocke you shall appeare before vs in S. Maryes Churche and then because wee cannot well agree vpon your aunswere to the first article for it was long before hee was vnderstoode if it wyll please you to wryte youre aunswere you shall haue penne inke and paper bookes suche as you shall require but if you wryte any thing sauing your aunswers to these Articles wee will not receaue it so hee charging the Maior with him declaryng also to the Maior that he shoulde suffer hym to haue penne and inke dimissed M. Ridley and sent for Master Latimer who being brought to the Diuinitie Schole there taryed tyll they called for hym ¶ Maister Latimer appeareth before the Commissioners NOw after M. Ridley was committed to the Maior then the Bishop of Lincolne commaunded the Bailyffes to bring in the other prisoner who eftsoones as he was placed sayd to the Lordes Lati. My Lordes if I appeare agayne I pray you not to sende for mee vntyll you bee ready For I am an olde man and it is great hurt to myne olde age to tary so long gazyng vpon the colde walles Then the Byshop of Lincolne sayd Linc. M. Latimer I am sory you are brought so soone although it is the Bailyffes fault and not myne but it shall be amended Then Master Latimer bowed his knee downe to the ground holdyng his Hat in his hand hauing a kerchefe on his hed and vpon it a night cap or two and a great cap such as Townes men vse with two broad flaps to butten vnder the chin wearyng an olde thred bare Bristowe fryse gowne gyrded to his body with a peny leather gyrdell at the which hanged by a long string of leather his Testament and his spectacles without case depending about his necke vpon his brest After this the Byshop of Lincolne began on this maner Linc. M. Latimer you shall vnderstande that I and my Lordes here haue a Commission from my Lord Cardinall Poles Grace Legate a latere to this Realme of England from our moste reuerent father in God the Popes holynesse to examyne you vpon certayne opinions and assertions of yours whiche you as well here openly in disputations in the yeare of our Lorde 1554. as at sundry and diuers other tymes dyd affyrme mayntayne and obstinately defende In the whiche Commission be especially two poyntes the one whiche we muste desire you is that if you shall nowe recant reuoke and disanull these your errours and togeather with all this Realme yea all the worlde confesse the trueth we vppon due repentance of your part should receiue you reconcile you acknowledge you no longer a strayed sheepe but adioyne you agayne to the vnitie of Christes Church from the which you in the time of schisme fell So that it is no new place to the which I exhort you I desire you but to returne thyther from whence you went Consider M. Latimer that without the vnitie of the Church is no saluation and in the Church can be no erroures Therefore what shoulde stay you to confesse that whiche all the Realme confesseth to forsake that whiche the Kyng and Queene their Maiesties haue renounced and all the Realme recanted it was a common errour and it is nowe of all confessed it shall be no more shame to you then it was to vs all Consider M. Latimer that within these .xx. yeares this Realme also with all the worlde confesseth one Church acknowledged in Christes Church an head and by what meanes and for what occasion it cut of it self from the rest of Christianitie it renounced that whiche in all tymes and ages was confessed it is well knowen and might be now declared vppon what good foundation the sea of Rome was forsaken saue that wee must spare them that are dead to whom the rehearsall woulde be opprobrious it is no vsurped power as it hath bene termed but founded vppon Peter by Christe a lure foundation a perfect builder as by diuers places as well of the auncient fathers as the expresse worde of God may be proued With that M. Latimer which before leaned his head to his hand began somewhat to remoue his cap and kerchef from his eares The Byshoppe proceeded saying for Christe spake expresly to Peter saying pasce oues meas rege oues meas the whiche worde doth not onely declare a certayne rulyng of Christes flocke but includeth also a certayne preeminence and gouernment and therefore is the king called Rex à regendo so that in saying rege Christe declared a power whiche he gaue to Peter whiche iurisdiction and power Peter by hand deliuered to Clement and so in all ages hath
Boner What De competente Iudice I will go fet thee my bookes There is a title in deed De officijs Iudâ—cis ordinarij Phil. Uerely that is the same De competente Iudice whiche I haue alledged With that he ran to his study broughte the whole course of the law betwene his hands which as it might appeare he had wel occupied by the dust they were embrued withall Boner There be the bookes finde it now if thou canst and I will promise thee to release thee out of prison Phil. My Lorde I stand not here to reason maâ—ters of the Ciuill law although I am not altogether ignorant of the same for that I haue bene a Student in the same sixe or seuen yeares but to aunswere to the Articles of fayth wyth the which you may lawfully burtheÌ„ me And whereas you go about vnlawfully to proceede I chalenge according to my knowledge the benefite of the law in my defence Boner Why thou wilt aunswere directly to nothing thou art charged withall therefore saye not hereafter but you might haue bene satisfied here by learned meÌ„ if you would haue declared your minde Phil. My Lorde I haue declared my minde vnto you and to other of the Byshops at my last being before you desyring you to be satisfied but of one thing wherunto I haue referred all other controuersies the whiche if your Lordships now or other learned men can simply resolue me of I am as contented to be reformable in all thinges as you shall require the which is to proue that the church of Rome wherof you are is the Catholicke Church Couen Why do you not beleue your Creed Credo Ecclesiam Catholicam Phil. Yes that I do but I cannot vnderstaÌ„d Rome wherwith all you burden vs to be the same neither like to it S. Asse It is most euident that S. Peter did builde the Catholicke Church at Rome And Christ sayd Tu es Petrus super hanc Petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam Moreouer the succession of bishops in the sea of Rome can be proued from time to time as it can be of none other place so well which is a manifest probation of the Catholicke Church as diuers Doctors do write Phil. That you would haue to be vndoubted is most vncertaine that by the authority which you alledge of Christ saying vnto Peter Thou art Peter and vpon this rocke I will build my Church vnles you can proue the rocke to signifye Rome as you would make me falsly beleue And althogh you can prooue the succession of Bishops from Peter yet this is not sufficient to proue Rome the catholicke church vnles you can proue the profession of Peters fayth wherevpon the catholick church is builded to haue continued in his successors at Rome and at this present to remayne Bon. Is there any mo churches theÌ„ one catholicke church And I pray you tel me into what faith were you baptised Philpot. I acknowledge one holy Catholicke and Apostolicke Church wherof I am a member I prayse God and I am of that catholicke fayth of Christ where into I was baptised Couen I pray you can you tell what this word Catholicke doth signify shew if you can Phil. Yes that I can I thanke God The catholicke fayth or the Catholicke Churche is not as now a dayes the people be taught to be that which is most vniuersall or of moste part of men receiued whereby you do inferre our fayth to hang vpoÌ„ the multitude which is not so but I esteme the Catholicke Church to be as S. Austen defineth the same Aestimamus fidem Catholicam a rebus praeteritis praesentibus futuris i. We iudge sayth he the catholicke fayth of that whiche hath bene is and shal be So that if you can be able to prooue that your fayth and Church hath bene from the beginning taught and is and shal be then may you couÌ„t your selues Catholicke otherwise not And Catholicke is a Greeke word compounded of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifieth after or according and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a summe or principle or whole So that catholicke Church or Catholicke fayth is as much to say as the first whole sound or chiefest fayth Boner Doth S. Austen say so as he alledgeth it or doth he meane as he taketh the same How say you M. Curtop Curtop In deed my Lord S. Augustine hath such a saying speaking agaynst the Donatistes that the Catholicke fayth ought to be estemed of thinges in times past and as they are practised according to the same and ought to bee through al ages and not after a new maner as the Donatistes began to professe Phil. You haue sayd well M. Curtop and after the meaning of S. Austen and to confirme that which I haue said for the signification of Catholicke Couen Let the booke be sene my Lord. Bon. I pray you my Lord be coÌ„teÌ„t or in good fayth I will breake euen of let al alone Do you thinke the Catholicke Church vntill it was within these few yeres in the which a few vpoÌ„ singularity haue swerued froÌ„ the same haue erred Phil. I do not thinke that the Catholicke Church can erre in doctrine but I require you to prooue this Churche of Rome to be the Catholicke Church Curtop I can proue that Ireneus which was within an hundred yeares after Christ came to victor then bishop of Rome to aske his aduise about the excoÌ„munication of certayne heretickes the which he would not haue done by al likelihood if he had not taken him to be supreame head Couent Marke well this argument How are you able to aunswere to the same Aunswere if you can Phil. It is soone aunswered my Lorde for that it is of no force neither this fact of Ireneus maketh no more for the supremacy of the Bishoppe of Rome then mine hath done which haue bene at Rome as well as he and mighte haue spoken with the Pope if I had list and yet I would none in England did fauor his supremacy more then I. S. Asse You are the more to blame by the fayth of my body for that you fauor the same no better since all the Catholicke Church vntill this fewe yeares haue taken him to be supreame head of the Church besides this good man Ireneus Phil. That is not likely that Ireneus so tooke him or the primatiue Church for I am able to shewe seauen generall Councels after Ireneus time wherin he was neuer so taken which may be a sufficient proofe that the catholick primitiue church neuer tooke him for supreme head The other Bish. This man will neuer be satisfied say what we can It is but folly to reason any more with him Phil. O my Lordes would you haue me satisfied with nothing Iudge I pray you who of vs hath better authority he whiche bringeth the example of one manne going to Rome or I that by these many generall councels am able to proue that he

from him went to my prison felowes took my leaue of them desiring theÌ„ to pray for me for I thought verely to come no more to them For I supposed I should haue gone before the Counsell because the Marshall sayd he would tary for me himselfe and especially because he sayd it was reported that I had spoken seditious words it made me to think it is possible that there may be some false things imagined vpon me to bring me to my end I remembred that Christ sayd The seruant is not aboue his Lord. Seyng the Iewes brought false witnes agaynst Christ I thought they would do much more or at the least doe so to me â—â— God would suffer theÌ„ which made me cast the worste But I was and am sure I prayse my Lord God that all the world is not able to accuse me iustly of any such thing Which thing considered made me mery and ioyfull and I was surely certified that they coulde do no more against me then God would geue them leaue And so I bad my prison fellowes farewell and went into the Porters Lodge to the Marshall and he deliuered me to one of his owne men and to one of my Lord Mountagues men and bade me go with them and they caryed me to my Lord Mountagues place in Southwarke not farre from S. Mary Oueries and brought me into a chamber in my Lord Mountagues house and there was one Doc. Langdale chapleine to my Lord. My keepers sayd to the Doctoâ— this is the man that we went for Lang. Is your name Woodman Wood. Yea forsooth that is my name Lang. Then hee beganne with a greate Circumstaunce and sayd I am sory for you that you will not be ruled but stand so much in your owne conceite displeasing your father and other iudging that all the Realme doth euil saue a few that doe as you do with many such wordes whiche be too long to rehearse but I will declare the substaunce of them Lang. What think you of them that died long agone your Graundfather with theyr fathers before them You iudge them to be damned all other that vse the same that they did throughout all Christendome vnlesse it be in Germany and here in England a few yeares and in Denmark yet they are returned againe Thus we are sure this is the truth and I would you should do well Your father is an honest man and one of my parish and hath wept to me diuers times because you would not be ruled and he loueth you well so doth all the country both rich and poore if it were not for those euill opinioÌ„s that you hold with many such like tales of Robin Hood Wood. I pray you geue me leaue to speake a fewe wordes to you Lang. Yes say your mind Wood. You haue told a great tale and a long as it were agaynst me as you thinke saying I hold this and that I iudge my Father and my Graundfather and almost al the world without it be a few that be of our sect But I iudge no manne But the xij of Iohn declareth who it is that iudgeth and shall iudge in the last day The father shal not beare the sonnes offences nor the sonne the fathers offences but that soule that sinneth shall dye as sayth the Prophet And agayne we may not folow a multitude to do euill as sayth the Prophet For the most goe the wrong way And Christ sayth in the xij of Luke that his flock is a litle flock Here be places enough to discharge me although I do not as the most doe But can any man say that I do not as I ought to do where be my accusers Lang. What you be full of scripture me thinke and call for your accusers as though you were afrayde to vtter your mind to me But I woulde haue you not to be afrayde to talk with me For I meane no more hurt to you then I do to my selfe I take God to my record Wood. I cannot tell It is hard trusting of fayre wordes when a man cannot trust his father nor brother nor other that haue bene his familiar frendes but they deceiue him A man may lawfully follow the example of Christ towardes them that he neuer saw before saying Be as wise as Serpentes and as innocent as doues Beware of men for they goe about to betray you And it maketh me suspect you much because you blame me for answering with the scriptures It maketh me to doubt that you would take vauntage of me if I should speake mine owne wordes Wherefore I will take as good heede as I can because I haue bene deceiued already by them I trusted most Wherefore blame me not though I aunswere circumspectly It shall not be sayd by Gods helpe that I will run wilfully into mine enemyes handes and yet I prayse God my life is not deare to my selfe but it is deare with God Wherfore I will do the vttermost that I can to keepe it Lang. You be afrayd where no feare is for I was desired of Mayster Sheriffe and his brother and of other of your frendes to talke with you and they told me thot you were desirous to talke with me and now ye make the matter as though you had nothing to doe with me as though you were sent to prison for nothing for you call for your accusers as though there were no man to accuse you But if there were no man to accuse you your own hand writing did accuse you enough that you set vpon the Church doore if you be remembred and other letters that you let fall abroad some at one place and some at an other Wherefore you need not to cal for your accusers Your own hand wil accuse you enough I warrant you it is kept safe enough I would not for two hundred pounde there were so much agaynst me Wood. I will not deny mine owne hand by Gods helpe For it cannot be lightly counterfayted I doe not deny but I wrote a letter to the priest and other of the parish declaring to them theyr folly and presumption to come into my house without my loue or leaue and fet out my childe and vse it at their pleasure Which moued me to write my mind to them and because I coulde not tell how to conuey it to them I set it on the Church doore Which letter my Lorde of Chichester hath for he shewed it me wheÌ„ I was before him wherin is conteined nothing but the very scriptures to theyr reproch Let it be layde before me when you or hee will I will answere to it by the helpe of God to all theyr shames that I wrote it to And as for any other letters I wrote none as you say I did neither had I wrote that if they had done like honest neighbours Wherfore if they be offended with me for that I wil aunswere theÌ„ with Christes wordes in the 18. of Math. woe vnto themselues
parties I thought here to communicate to the Reader for him to iudge thereof as God shall rule hys mynd The matter is this The day before thys Simson was condemned he being in the stockes Cloney his keeper commeth in with the keies about 9. of the clocke at night after his vsuall maner to view hys prison and see whether all were present who when he espyed the sayd Cutbert to be there departed agayne locking the dores after him Within two houres after about eleuen of the clocke towarde midnighte the sayd Cutbert whether being in a slumber or beyng awake I cannot say heard one comming in first openyng the outwarde dore then the seconde after the thyrd dore and so looking into the sayd Cutbert hauing no Candell or Torche that he could see but geuing a brightnesse and light most comfortable and ioyfull to hys hart saying Ha vnto him and departed agayne Who it was hee coulde not tell neither I dare define This that he saw he hymselfe declared foure or fiue tymes to the sayd Mayster Austen and to other At the sight whereof hee receiued suche ioyfull comfort that he also expressed no little solace in telling and declaring the same Articles seuerally ministred to Cutbert Simson the xix of March with his aunsweres also to the same annexed FIrst that thou Cutbert Simson art at this present abidinge within the Cittie and Dioces of London and not out of the iurisdiction of the bishop of Rome Item that thou within the Cittie and Diocesse of London hast vttered many times and spoken deliberately these wordes and sentences following videlicet that though thy parentes auncestours kinsefolkes and friendes yea and also thy selfe before the time of the late schisme here in this realme of Englande haue thought and thoughtest that the fayth and religion obserued in times past here in this Realme of Englande was a true fayth and religion of Christ in all poyntes and Articles though in the Churche it was set foorthe in the Latine tongue and not in Englishe yet thou beleuest and sayest that the faythe and religion now vsed commonly in the Realme not in the Englysh but in the Latine tongue is not the true faythe and religion of Christ but contrary and expressely agaynst it Item that thou within the sayde Cittie and Dioces of London hast willingly wittingly and contemptuously done spoken agaynst the Rites and the Ceremonyes commonlye vsed here tbrough the whole realme and obserued generally in the Churche of England Item that thou hast thought and beleued certaynlye and so within the Dioces of London hast affirmed and spoken delyberateâ—y that there bee not in the Catholicke Churche seuen Sacramentes nor of that vertue and efficacie as is commonly beleued in the churche of England them to be Item thou hast likewise thought and beleeued yea and so within the Cittie and Dioces of London spoken and deliberately affirmed that in the sacrament of the aultar there is not really substantially and truely the very body and bloud of our sauiour Iesus Christ Item that thou hast beene and to thy power arte at this present a fauourer of all those that eyther haue beene here in this Realme heretofore called heretickes or els conuented condemned by the Ecclesiasticall Iudges for heretickes Item that thou contrary to the order of this Realme of Englande and contrary to the vsage of the holy Churche of this Realme of England hast at sundry tymes and places within the Citye and Dioces of London beene at assemblyes and conuenticles where there was a multitude of people gathered together to hâ—are the Englishe seruice sayed which was set forth in the late yeares of King Edward the sixte and also to heare and haue the Communion booke reade and the Communion ministred both to the sayd multitude and also to thy selfe and thou hast thought and so thinkest and hast spoken that the sayd Englishe seruice and Communion booke and all thinges conteyned in eyther of them was good and laudable and for such thou diddest and doest allowe and approue eyther of them at this present * The aunswere of the sayd Cutbert to the foresayd articles VNto all which articles the sayd Cutbert Simson aunswered thus or the lyke in effecte To the 1 2 3.4 5. and 6. article he confessed them to be true in euery parte thereof To the 7. article he sayd that he was bounde to aunswere vnto it as he beleeueth ¶ A letter of Cutbert Simson written to his wyfe out of the Colehouse DEarely beloued in the Lorde Iesus Christe I can not write as I doe wishe vnto you I beseeche you with my soule committe your selfe vnder the mighty hande of our God

Iohn Hales sent and deliuered to the sayd queene Elizabeth in the beginning of her reigne the copy wherof is this ¶ An Oration of Iohn Hales to the Queenes Maiestie and deliuered to her Maiestye by a certayne Noble man at her first entrance to her reigne ¶ To the Noble Queene Elizabeth ALbeit there be innumerable giftes and benefites of almighty God whereof euery one would wonderfully comfort any person on whome it should please his goodnes to bestowe it yet is none of them either separate by it self or ioyned with any other or yet al mingled together to be compared to this one that it hath pleased God of his mercy to deliuer this Realme our Countrey from the tyranny of malicious Mary to commit it to the gouernemēt of vertuous Elizabeth For if a man had all the treasure of Salomon and might not be suffred to haue the vse therof in what better case were he then miserable Tantalus ouer whose head the apples continually hung yet being hunger sterued could he neuer touch them If a man had as strong a body as had Sampson and besides were as whole as a fish as the prouerbe is yet if he were kept in bandes what should it auayle him Yea rather if it bee well considered it is a hurte to him if continuance of tormentes and paynes may be a hurt If a man had as manye children as had Gedeon the Iudge and might not be so suffered to bring them vpp in the feare of God good knowledge maners had he not bene more happy to be without them then to haue them If a man had as much knowledge of God as had Saynt Paule and durst not professe it openly with mouth as he is commaunded but for feare of death shoulde declare the contrary in deede sclaunder the word of God and deny Christ which is forbidden shoulde it not rather be a furtherance to his damnation then otherwise And to be short if any one man had all these giftes together or generally all the giftes of Fortune the body the minde and of grace yet if hee mought not haue the vse of them what should they profite him Ueryly nothyng at all For felicitye is not in hauing but in vsing not in possessing but in occupying not in knowledge but in doing But alas our naturall Mother Englande whiche hath bene counted to be the surest the richest and of late also the most godly Nation of the earth hath bene these whole fiue yeares most violently by Tyrauntes forced to lacke the vse of all the giftes and benefites that GOD and nature had endued her Her naturall and louynge children could not be suffered to enioy theyr right inheritance whereby they might relieue and succour her or thēselues but whatsoeuer they had was eyther by opē force or by crafty dealing pulled from thē And surely this had bene tollerable if none other mischiefe had bene therwith intended He is a gentle theefe if theeues may bee counted gentle that onely robbeth a man of his goodes refrayneth violent hands from his parson For suche losse with labor and dilligence may be recouered He may be called a mercifull murtherer that onely killeth the aged Parentes vseth no force on the children For nature hath made al men mortall and that in like space and to kill the parentes is as it were but a preuention of a shorte tyme if it were to the vttermost enioyed But these Tyrantes were more vngentle then common thieues more empty of mercy then common murtherers For they were not onely not contented to haue the goods of the people but they would haue it deliuered to them by the owners own handes that it might be sayd to the world they gaue it with the hart and were not therwith pleased but they would haue theyr
to the feare of euill doers to the cōfort of the well doers Prouoke no more my wrath ye see what will follow it be hereafter more prudent and wyse then ye were before Ye may if ye will be more circumspect in tyme to come then ye haue bene in tyme past ye may if ye list put me to lesse trouble and keepe your selues in more safetie I haue not onely discouered myne yours and my land of Englands enemies all the crafts subtleties and pollicies that haue bene or may be vsed by them or any like hereafter but I haue also taken away their head and captaine and destroyed a great number of them that ye should not be troubled with them and some of them haue I left that ye may make them spectacles and examples to the terrour and feare of their posterity Loue me and I will loue you seeke my honour and glory and I will worke your commoditie and safetie walke in my wayes and commaundements and I wil be with you for euer Surely if we consider the wonderfull mercy that it hath pleased God to vse towards vs in the deliueryng of this Kealme and vs his people out of the handes of these most cruell tyrants as we cannot but do vnlesse we wyll declare our selues to be the most vnthankefull people that euer liued we must needs iudge it not onely worthy to be compared but also farre to exceed the deliueraunce of the children of Israell out of Egypt from the tiranny of Pharao and from the powers of Holofernes and Senacherib For it is not read that either Pharao or the other two sought any other thing then to be Lords of the goods and bodies of the Israelites they forced them not to committe Idolatry and to serue false Gods as these English tyrāts did But besides if we will note the wonderfull works of God in handling this matter we shall well perceiue that farre much more is wrought to his glory and to the profite of his church and people then perchance all men at the first do see For he hath not onely dispatched the Realme of the chiefe personages and hed of these tyrants but also as it were declareth that he mynded not that eyther they or their doynges shoulde continue For albeit that all actes done by tyrantes tyrannouslye bee by all Lawes reason and equitie of no force yet because no Disputation shoulde follow on this what is tyrannously done and what is not tyrannouslye done hee hath prouided that this question needeth not come in question For hee vtterly blinded their eyes and suffred them to builde on false grounds which can no longer stande then they bee propped vp with rope sword and fagot For her first parliament whereon they grounded and wroght a great part of their tyrannie and wherein they ment to ouerthrowe whatsoeuer king Edward had for the aduauncement of Gods glory brought to passe was of no force or authoritie For she perceiuing that her enemies stomacke coulde not be emptied nor her malice spued on the people by any good order she committeth a great disorder She by force and violence taketh from the Commons their libertie that according to the auncient lawes and customes of the Realme they could not haue their free election of knights and Burgesses for the Parliament For shee well knew that if eyther Christian men or true English men should be elected it was not possible to succeed that she intended And therfore in many places diuers were chosen by force of her threats meet to serue her malicious affectiōs Wherfore the parliamēt was no parliamēt but may be iustly called a conspiracy of tyrantes and traytors For the greater part by whose authority and voyces thinges proceeded in that Court by their actes most manifestly declared themselues so the rest being both Christians and true English men although they had good wills yet not able to resist or preuayle agaynst the multitude of voyces and suffrages of so many euill false to God and enemyes to their countrey Also diuers Burgesses being orderly chosen and lawfully retorned as in some places the people did what they could to resist her purposes were disorderly and vnlawfully put out and others without any order or lawe in their places placed Doctour Taylour Bishop of Lincolne a Christian Byshop and a true English man being lawfully and orderly called to the Parliament and placed in the Lords house in his degree was in his robes by vyolence thrust out of the house Alexander Nowell with two other al three being Burgesses for diuers shyres and Christian men and true Englishe men and lawfully chosen retorned and admitted were by force putte out of the house of the Commons for the which cause the same Parliament is also voyde as by a President of the Parliament holden at Couentry in the 38. yeare of K. Henry the sixt it most manifestly appeareth And the third Parliamente called in the name of her husband and of her euill grace wherein they would haue vndone that her noble Father and the Realme had brought to passe for the restitution of the libertie of the Realme and for extinguishment of the vsurped authoritie of the Bish. of Rome is also voyd and of none authoritie For that the title and stile of supreme head of the church of England which by a Statute made in the 35. yeare of the raigne of the sayd K. Henry was ordeined that it should be vnited and annexed for euer to the imperiall crowne of this Realme was omitted in the writs of summonyng Wherefore as a woman can bryng foorth no chyld without a man so cannot those writs bring forth good and sure fruit because this part of the title which was ordeined by the Parliament for the forme to bee alwayes vsed in the kings stile was left out For greater errour is in lacke of forme then in lacke of matter And where the foundation is naught there can nothing builded thereon be good There is no law spirituall nor temporal as they terme them nor no good reason but allow these rules for infallible principles And if any man will say that it was in the free choise libertie and pleasure of the king of this Realme and the Queene whether they would expresse the said title in their stile or not as that subtile serpent Gardiner beyng Chancellor of the realme and traiterously sēdyng out the writs of Parliament without the same stile perceiuing he had ouershot himselfe in calling the Parliament and hauing committed many horrible murthers most mischieuous acts would haue excused it as appeareth by a piece of the Statute made in the same Parliament in the 8. chap. and 22. leafe it may be iustly and truly answered that they could not so do For albeit euery person may by law renounce his own priuate right yet may he not renounce his right in that which toucheth the common wealth or a third person And this title and stile more touched the common wealth and
