A07039	Hay any worke for Cooper: or a briefe pistle directed by waye of an hublication to the reverende byshopps counselling them, if they will needs be barrelled vp, for feare of smelling in the nostrels of her Maiestie [and] the state, that they would vse the aduise of reuerend Martin, for the prouiding of their cooper. Because the reuerend T.C. (by which misticall letters, is vnderstood, eyther the bounsing parson of Eastmeane, or Tom Coakes his chaplaine) to bee an vnskilfull and a beceytfull [sic] tubtrimmer. Wherein worthy Martin quits himselfe like a man I warrant you, in the modest defence of his selfe and his learned pistles, and makes the coopers hoopes to flye off, and the Bishops tubs to leake out of all crye. Penned and compiled by Martin the Metropolitane.

know not D. Bridges and Iohn Whitgift Yea but his grace also firmely beleeueth that Christ in soule descended into Hell This is the 3. point of his catholike perswasion but tell him from me that he shal neuer be saued by this beliefe and my finger in his mouth Let him tell what our sauiour Christ should do if he did not harrow Hell Where thou saiest M. Yong had onely the dealing with Thakwel the popish printer without his graces priuitie thou liest in thy throat M. Yong him selfe brought him to his grace who ordered the matter as it is set downe in my Pistle But did not I say truely of thee that thou canst cog face lye as fast as a dog can trot and that thou hast a right seasoned wainscoate face of ti nowne chwarnt tee ti vorehead zaze hard as horne Concerning Walde-graue its no matter how you deal with him heez a foolish fellow to suffer you to spoyle his presse and letters an a had bin my worships printer I de a kept him from your clouches And yet it is pitie to belye the diuell and therefore you shall not belye him and goe scotfree As for the presse that Walde-graue solde he did it by order vz. He solde it to an allowed printer I.C. one of his owne companie with the knowledge of his Warden Henry Denham c. And cal you this fauor in releasing him after long imprisonment But I will giue you a president of great fauour in deede wherein you may see what an vngrateful fellow Walde-graue is to his grace who hath bin so good vnto him from time time There being a controuersie betweene another printer and Walde-graue all matters of printing being committed by the LL. of the Counsell to his grace Walde-graue made one of his company his friende who could do much with his grace to deale for him who brake the matter to his worship being at Croydon in his Orcharde so soone as the partie named Walde-graue he sweetely aunswered him saying if it had bin any of the cōpany saue him he would haue graunted the suite but in no case to Walde-graue Well Walde-graue obtayned the R. H. Lord Treasurers letter in his behalfe to his grace who when he had read it said I wil answer my L. Treasurer with that Walde-graue intreated for his fauorable letter to the Wardens of his companie which in the end through D. Coosins he obtained though late yet went home at night thinking to deliuer it in the morning but before he was readie the Wardens were with him and rested him with a Purciuant vpon his graces commandement Walde-graue telling them there was a letter from his grace which he receiued late the last night at Croidon who answered they knew it well inough but this is his pleasure now so they caried Walde-graue to prison and in this his grace was so good vnto him as to help him with an hundred marks ouer the shulders A new reuenge for an old grudge If this be your fauour God keepe me from you ka M. Marprelate Bishops haue iustly receiued according to their desertes hauing found greater fauour at my worships hands thē euer they deserued being notorious disobedient godlesse persons vnthrifty spenders consumers of the fruits not of their own labors as you say Walde-graue was but of the possessions of the church persons that haue violated their faith to god his church hir maiesty this whol kingdom wittingly bring vs al without the great mercy of god to our vndoing so that our wiues children seruants haue cause to curse al L. Bb. Lo T.C. you see that I haue a good gift in imitation and me thinkes I haue brought your wordes into a marueilous good sense wher as before in the cause of Walde-graue they were ilfauoredly wrested and as for his wife children they haue iust cause to curse Iohn of London and Iohn of Canterburie for their tyrannizing ouer him by imprisoning and spoyling his goods and vexing his poore wife and children with continuall rifeling his house with their purciuants who in Nouember last violently rusht into his house breaking through the maine wall thereof after midnight taking away his goods for some of the purciuants solde his books vp and downe the streats to watchmen and others Ah you Antichristian prelats when will you make an ende of defending your tyrannie by the blood and rapine of her maiesties subiectes You haue bin the consumers of the fruits of Walde-graues labors for haue you not sent him so often to prison that it seemed you made a common occupation thereof For assoon as any book is printed in the defence of Christs holy discipline or for that detecting of your Antichristian dealings but your rauening purciuantes flye citie countrie to seeke for Walde-graue as though he were boūd by statute vnto you either to make known who printed seditious books against my L. Face or to go to prison himselfe and threatned with the racke O the greatnes of his graces fauor And are you not ashamed to say that he euer violated his fayth you know wel inough that he is neither Archb. nor L.B. The case thus stood after he had remained a long time in prison not that time when Hartwell his graces secretary wisht that his grace might neuer eat bit of bread after he released him Nor at that time when you profane T.C. to●● him that all puritans had traiterous hearts Nor at that time Wald-graue tolde his grace that he was worse thē Boner in regard of the time Nor that time when he was straungely released by one of the Lorde of good Londons Swans Neither was it at that time when his grace good conscionable noble man violated his promise in that he told the wardens of the staciouers that if Walde-graue woulde come quietly to him cease printing of seditious bookes he would pardon what was past the wardens promised his wife that if he were committed they would lye at his graces gate til he were released and for al this yet he was committed to the white Lyon where he laye sixe weekes Nor it was not at that time when his grace allowed Watson the purciuant to take of Walde-graue 13. s. 4. pence for cariyng of him to the white Lyon But it was that time when his grace kept him 20. weekes together in the white lyon for printing the Complaint of the comminaltie the Practize of prelats A learned mans iudgment c. Means being vsed for his liverty his freud who was bound for him told him his liberty was obtained in maner following You must be bounde saith he in a 100. pounds to print no more books herafter but such as shal be authorized by hir Maiesty or his grace or such as were before lawfully authorized wherunto he answered that it was not possible for him to containe himselfe within the compasse of that bond Whereby it may appeare he swore not to his friend neither should his consent

euer go to the same the same wil D. Coosins witnes that maidenly Doctor who sits cheek by ioll with you if he will speake a trueth which words Walde-graue vttered to him going in the old pallas at westminster with his keeper before he was released yet he woulde gladly haue his libertie if he might lawfully For saide he I being a poore workeman to my companie cannot possibly obserue it For many bookes heretofore printed had cum priuilegio yet were neuer authorized againe that it were but a folly for him to sue to her Maiestie the office were very base and vnfit for her And he might be wel assured that Caiphas of Cant. would neuer authorize any thing for his behoofe and so it fell out And thus Martin hath prooued you in this as in all other things to be lyars And what is it that you Bb. your hangones will not saye by Walde-graue whom you would hang if you could I will be briefe in the rest but so as reader may perceiue that T.C. was hired to lye by commission I wil stand to it that his grace accounteth the preaching of the word being the only ordinary meanes of saluation to be an heresie doth mortally persecute the same page 46. page 47. his appellation to the obedient cleargie shall stand him in no steed when more worke for Cooper is published And there I will pay thee for abusing M. Wiggington and Master Dauison whose good names can take no staine from a bishops chopps page 47. If his grace reiected Master Euans for want of conformity why is the quare impedit gotten against the bishopp of Worcester by the noble Earl of Warwick his patron I hope he wil see both the quare impedit and the premunire to brought vppon the bones of father Edmond of Worcester page 48. 49. It is a common bragge with his grace his parasites and with him selfe that he is the second person in the land More work shal pay his grace for commending the Apocripha a profane and a lying storye in many places to be vnseperably ioined with the holy word of God 2 Esdras 14.21.37 c. You grant D. Spark to haue set his grace and your selfe T.C. at a non plus page 50 for the septuaginta is contrary to the Hebrew and therefore you maintain contrary translations and require men to aproue both Martin hath marred Richard patriks market for otherwise he was in good hope to haue a benefice at his grace his hand to be made a minstrell Shamelesse and impudent wretches that dare deny Iohn of Cāt. to haue bin at any time vnder D. Perne but as a fellowe of the house where he was master whereas all the world knoweth him to haue bin a poore scholler in that house yea and his grace hath often confessed that hee beinge there a poore scholler was so poor as he had not a napkin to wipe his mouth but when he hadd gotten some fatte meat of O the fellowes table would go to the skrine and first wipe his mouth on the on side and then O the other because he wanted a napkin iudge you whether this bee not a meaner state then to cary a cloakbag which is not spoken to vpbraide any mans pouerty but to pull the pride of Gods enemy an ase lower Although wee cannot beleeue D. Perne in the pulpit yet in this point wee will not refuse his testimony I am gladd Iohn of London you will not deenie but you haue the Diars cloth make restitution then page 51. 52. 53. 54. thou madest the porter of thy gate a minister Iohn and thou mightest do it lawfully Why so I pray thee why man because he was almost blinde and at Paddington being a small people hee could not starue as many soules as his master doth which hath a great charge page 55. 56. I hope M. Madox will thinke scorne to ask Iohn of London forgiuenesse The substance of the tale is true I told you that I had it at the second hand Are you not ashamed to deny the elmes to be cut downe at Fulham Why her maiesties taker tooke them from Iohn of London And simple fellowes are you not able to discern between a plesant frump giuen you by a counsellor and a spech vsed in good earnest Alas poore Iohn O London doest thou thinke that M. Vicechamberlain spake as he thought Then it is time to begg thee for aswagg And so it is if thou thinkest wee will beleeue the turncoate D. Perne speaking vnto vs in his own name who like an Apostatae hath out of the pulpit tolde so many vntruthes And as it is as lawfull to boule O the Sabboth page 57. 58. as it is to eat and for you to make dumbe ministers as it was for Dauid to eat of the shew bread pag. 110. or for the Machabees to fight on the Sabboth or for Moses to grant a bil of diuorcement I perceiue these men will haue the good diuinity if it be to be gotten for money page 62. Yea and our Sauiour Christ sware by his faith very often How so good Iohn I neuer hard that before why saith T.C. he sayd Amen Amen very often and Amen is as much as by my faith page 62. horrible and blasphemous beastes whither will your madnes growe in a while if you be not restrained M. Allen the Grocer is paid all saue 10. pound page 58. for the vse of that the executors haue Iohn O Londons blessing And I thinke they are reasonably wel serued page 59 If the tale of Benison be not true why was Iohn of London alotted by the counsel to pay him I think 40. pounds for his false imprisonment Iohn of London is not dumb because he preacheth somtimes thrise a yeare at Pauls crosse Then we shall neuer make our money of it I see page 6. 61 62. But I pray thee T.C. howe canst thou excuse his blaspeemie of Eli Eli lammasabackthani there haue bin 2. outragious facts amongst others committed in the world by those that professe true religion the on was the betraying of our sauiour by Iudas an apostle the other was the horrible mocking of his agonie and bitter passion by Iohn Elmar a bishop in this speeche If he had bene in some reformed Churches the blaspheemer woulde haue hardly escaped with his life And is it true sweete boy in deed Hath Leicestorshiere so embraced the Gospell without contention and that by Dumb Iohns meanes Litle doest thou know what thou hast done nowe howe if Martin be a Leycester shiere man hast not thou then sett out the praise of thine owne bane For martin I am sure hath wroght your Caiphas Chaire more wracke and misery then all the whole land beside And therefore thou seest a man may be so madd somtimes that he may praise he cannot tel what The bishop of Rochester in presenting him selfe to a parsonage did noe more then lawe
