✚ A short treatyse of certayne thinges abused In the Popysh Church longe vsed But now abolyshed to our consolation And Gods word auaunced the lyght of our saluation Matthew vii Euery tree that bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewen downe cast into y e fyre Psalm cxxiii Our soule is escaped euen as a byrd out of the snare of the foular the snare is brokē and we are delyuered Mat. xv All plantes y t my heauenly father hathe not planted shall be plucked vp by the rofes Psal. cxviii It is tyme O Lorde to laye to thyne hande for they haue destroyed thy lawe Cum Priuilegio ad Imprimendum solum Preserue me O god for in the do I truste Psalm xv GRace whiche is the mercy fauor and acceptation Of God our heauenly father be geuen to this audience Peace from Iesu Christ our helth and satisfaction Whiche is the true tranquilite of a quiet conscience Be ministred vnto you with a more relyced sentence Than all tonges be able to make declaration My intente is to declare yf a while ye will kepe scilence How goddes worde is florisshed the light of our saluatiō We haue bene drowned with dreames as our forefathers haue bene Lyuinge in wilfull ignorance not searching for y e verite Beleuing to haue syght whan we haue not sene But heapinge synne vpon synne committing iniquite For lacke of godly knowledge brought into captiuite So y t y e blind leade y e blind as Christ maketh demonstratiō And bothe fell in y e lake of vtter darkenes or tenebre But now goddes word is florisshed y e light of our saluation The shepeheardes that should fede the flocke as Ezechiel doth say And hath famysshed them for fode wo vnto them all That thus suffereth y e shepe to perisshe going a stray From y e handes of suche blind guydes y e lord doth vs call The sicke haue they not healed y e weake haue they let fall But chuclishly and cruellye be they had in estimation Come away good people from their doctrine diabolicall For now goddes word is florisshed y e light of our saluatiō A gret colour of holines in y e Popes church hath ben vsed The which is playne wickednes as goddes word proueth ryghte To mainteyn the old customes of most men now refused The verite cleane banisshed truth put to flight yf god had not bene mercyfull all men had lost the light Blynde was the cerimony for all the sainctification But now it is euident to euery christen wight How goddes word is florisshed the light of our saluation In y e stede of goddes word we had holy bread water Holy palmes holy asshes holy candles holy fyer Holy bones holy stones holy crewittes at the aulter Holy censars holy bannars holy crosses holy atyer Holy wax holy pax holy smoke holy smyer Holy oyle holy creame holy wyne for veneration Holy coope holy canepy holy reliques in y e quier Thus gods word could not florissh y e light of our saluatiō We haue had belles christened vestimentes consecrated Chalices anointed high altares wasshed and halowed Images tabernacled dead mens bones shryned Coniured Crosses censed spittled and spattled With turne and half turne the people was deceyued Seist me or seist me not and moche more abhominacion Feattes of legerdemayne by these iugglers inuented That goddes worde shulde not florysshe the lyght of oure saluacion Upon the high holy euennes as they do them call They range all the belles a solempne noys to heare There had we euensong complyne salue w t all Of y t was song or sayd them selues were neuer the nere For it was in a foren tonge as it doth well apere Nother to them nor vs was there edification For it was all lippe labor song they neuer so cleare Syldome preache they christ to be the light of our saluatiō The nexte day folowing we had matynes with prime and howres holy Many a deus in adiutorium all in the latten tonge Coniuring of holy water folowed then immediatly Procession after ydolles all the churche yarde long Hygh masse with deuout sensinges ruffling it in priksong Then ranne we to take holy bread withoute signification These plantes be pluct vp be they neuer so stronge They were not graffed on goddes worde the light of our saluation With these old customes such lyke god is displeased sore As in the first of Esay ther is demaunded playne Who required these of you suche thinges I do abhor your Sabothes and your solempne dayes your fastinges are in vayne Newe holydayes fastinges from my hart I do disdayne God saith he is wery both of you and your oblacion He byddeth you labour in his vyne yarde and therin take payne To teach the people Gods word the light of our saluacion Sone it is sene what paynes in this vyneyarde they dyd take For euery quicke sprynge that brought forthe the frute of Gods verite They cryed out on him heretike burne him at a stake He speaketh againste oure Ceremonyes and therfore shall he dye Throwe suche wretches in prison and let the caytyfes lye And yf they be not willinge to make their recantation Famysh them for fode or murther them pryuely They speake agaynste tradycions the lyght of oure saluacion Than scourged they the simple soules with their whyp of correction And there on hanged .vi. strynges surely fastened with a lawe This whyp was very mete for their pestilent complection For thorow suche tyranny the peoples hartes were rawe Thus many faithfull membres frome the truth dyd draw Untyll our noble kynge of his mercy and compassion Brake this cruell whyp that kept the people in awe And hath aduaunced Goddes worde the lyght of our saluacion Bewayle doth our Balamytes disclosynge their owne nature Euen as vnshamefaste shauelynges threteninge Christes pore shepe Saynge yf the sworde were on our sydes be ye sure As it hath bene before than wolde ye not ones pepe But now that ye thinke all good ordre is layde downe to slepe ye make a braggynge and a boastinge of your exaltation Now who but ye gospellers that Christes flocke dothe keape ye teache the people gods worde the lyght of our saluatiō Thus was their handes defyled with bloud their fingers with vnrightuousenes Deuouringe vp the gospellers in euery towne and citye From their lyppes proceded lyes their tongues aduaunced wyckednesse Without respecte to the trewth they iudge nothing treuly Thei hatched Coccatrice egges as we haue sene it plainly And weaued spyders webbes by their cruell consultatiō Now he that eateth of their egges shal not escape but dye Or be an ennemy to the truthe the light of our saluacion The chiefest thinge they set by is almost fallen awaye I meane their masking Masse by so many Popes deuysed For thorow it the Lordes supper hath bene in great decay And the right institution blasphemously blemysshed Thus in the Popysh churche it hath bene longe abused But
