long ago Brought forth and eke their monstrous pride wherewith prouoked the They much despisde the common sorte and making them to gaze They founde out first these foolish toyes the simple eyes to daze Lyke cerimonies doth he vse while as he doth repayre The shauen sort and fine yong impes doth plant in kingdome fayre As euery one by name is calde togither stande they theare Clad all in Albes for so they terme the vesture that they weare The Bishop doth demaunde if that they good and vertuous bée And whether they are learnde and méete to take this great degrée The Officer doth aunswere strayte with playne and open voyce That learnde and worthy both they are and men of perfite choyse Whom earst before he neuer saw nor of their names hath thought Then strayte vnto the Acoluth from th'aultar downe is brought A Candle and a Candlesticke and here they doe resight How in the Church his office is the Candles still to light And beare about an emptie Cr●●●t put they in his handes Wherewith to giue the Priest his wine whilst at his Masse he standes Yet doth he it not nor place there is where this is lookte vnto Besides eche lay man when he list this holy thing may do Yet for the same his crowne is shorne and heare is cut away Nor weare it in that place of length he euer after may The Coniurer receyues the booke and is commaunded there To learne the thinge conteynde therein and well away to beare And for to cast out Deuils by his powre and force deuine He mindes it not nor of the same doth euer sée a line For claspt it is deliuerd him and claspt from thence againe Vnto the aultar is it borne whereas it doth remaine He driues no Deuils out of men nor dare the matter proue So that this great authoritie doth serue to no behoue The reader then perhaps doth take the Testament in hande To teach the people plaine the word of God to vnderstande He readeth not nor h●ble is sometime nor seekes to be No certaine place appoynted is nor howre him to se The Dorekéeper instructed than what things he ought ●o do When as this office great of waight he there doth come vnto The Church doore keyes in hande he takes and to the doore doth bere A hempen rope with laughter great of all that sée him there Hereby he lea●nes his duetie is to shut with diligence The doores to kéepe the halowed things and driue the wicked thence Yet none of all the same he doth nor suffered thus to stande Yet is there sturre as if there were some wondrous thing in hande When as the new made Priestes cannot their laughter here restraine But most of all the common sorte and foolish people vaine What should I speake of all things now I am ashamed here To weare my pen and spende the time about such foolish gere For all their holynesse consistes in vestures and in bookes And putting stoa●es about their neckes with lewde and apish lookes On all their left handes euery one a labell hangeth downe The Priestes their fingers grease the Bishops hāds thumbs crowne But here there is a great a doe a waightie matter plaine To sée the oyntmentes drop not downe nor on theyr heades remaine Ech Priest with rubbing dryes his handes and after that with sande Or ashes skouring throughly cleane ech finger of his hande Then breade vnto the aultar from the Ouen whote is brought And cut in sundry sippets small in order there is wrought Which on the Bishops greasie pate in solemne sorte they lay And thus dry vp the oyntment there and take it cleane away So carefull are they for these things that are not worth a strawe That neuer an hower doe they leaue for fayth and christian lawe When as they christen belles that man hath sure a brasen minde That can forbeare to laugh and doth not thinke them Asses blinde Who grudgeth not with all his heart that wickednesse of time For gaine hath brought it vnto this that that most blessed signe Which shewes how we receyued are as seruaunts here of Christ And prest to fight against the worlde as souldiour of the highest Shoulde with a senselesse creature be defilde before our face With such adde and by a man of such a solemne grace The people rounde about resorte on euery side that bée Togither mo●de with one desire this wondrous sight to sée And warned by the wardens of the Church before the day The Godfathers are present in their best and chiefe aray And some there are that so desire this honour for to haue That of themselues they chalenge it and earnestly doe craue Of these the number is not small a hundred shalt thou sée Two hundred yea thrée hundred if the bell so worthy bée Then foorth at last the Bishop comes in all his wonted geare And praying fast he halloweth first with salt the water cleare For without this he hath no powre though in the day time bright A number great of Tapers stande aboute him alwayes light When as he long hath prayed here he willes them downe to fall Vpon their knees and vnto God to praye in generall That he vouchsafe to graunt this bell a happie christendome A lustye sounde to driue away the daungers all that come Annoynted then it is in places such as needefull bée And where the Priest is pleasde for in all partes they not agrée Then biddes he them declare the name for as they children name So name they belles in euery poynt and when he knowes the same He poures on water lustily and thrise he doth it wet And then with holy Chrisme he doth his crosses thereon set ▪ Then straytwayes therevpon he puttes a lynnen Crysome white A vesture such as children weare when first they come to light And now the Godfathers begin to stirre about and toyle To touch and plucke it vp a loft from out the sacred soyle But with their handes they cannot all come néere it now by much Therefore with ropes they hale and hoyse and so farre of doe touch And thinke they haue done sufficiently then giftes they offer all Vnto their christen daughter golde and siluer therewithall Ech one woulde then séeme riche and striues the other to excell Hangde vp in stéeple hie they feast and ioye that this same bell Hath thus receyude hir christendome and all that day throughout They celebrate with drinke and playe and daunsing rounde about With vomiting and oftentimes with brawling and with fight And wanton iestures herewithall and ech vnséemely sight What thing more foolish canst thou tell or hast thou séene before Of great and small committed thus and with religious lore In fine regarde this Suffragan in all his matters hie What thing soeuer he doth it may be laught at worthilie For take from him hys sprinckle and his oyle and iesturs all And that which in the Grecian tongue they Crisma vse to call Thou hast vnarmde him vtterly

great and in the villages thereby There are that doe such doltish dreames defende maliciously That quight contrary are to Christ and to religion right Which neyther canst thou easily knowe nor well in verse resight Now when these Popish lothsome limmes by no meanes we can sée In life nor in their trauaile here the limmes of Christ to bée Nor can in anye wise imbrace the fonde religion vaine And shamefull orders to the worlde of God contrarie plaine Nor doctrine of so wicked fayth to Christian people giue But rather as the Apostles teach doe simply seeke to liue Reiecting toyes and mans deuice as which we surely know To be detested of that Prince that lightnings downe doth throw We here are called Heritykes and worthie thought to bée Of halter sworde consuming fire and ech extremitée We punisht are our houses sealde or from our countrie farre We banisht be or else opprest at home with ciuill warre Whereas the dreadfull Souldiour doth consume and cleane deuours The goodes that here hath gotten bene by toyle and paine of ours These things these Catholikes attempt when in so many yeares By scriptures sure they cannot plant this foolish fayth of theirs Nor ours with scriptures ouerthrow that now they séeke to make The Prince of hell and Christ to ioyne in one and partes to take For all ashamde they plaine perceyue that long they cannot stande With this religion and this life if once doe come in hande The worde of God the heauenly light and that abrode doe shine The twelue Apostles doctrine and that blessed court deuine Nor good it séemeth yet to them such is their wisdome hie To graunt that they haue erd in any thing or gone awrie For shame it is that learned men and such as famous bée For Mitars and for Crosiar staues amongst the Christiantée Christ nor the Apostles fayth to know that perfit is and iust But to be ledde with dreames of men whome none may safely trust From hence procéedeth all their griefe and all their cruell hate That with effusion of our bloud they stablish their estate And will not here be pacified by any other meanes Except we do alow and like their lewde and monstrous dreames And altogither runne in one like flockes for company To false and wicked worshippings and vile idolatry And knowledge them for Lordes of fayth and rulers of vs all Although they teache no doctrine of the King celestiall Oft hath it bene agréed that eyther part shoulde fréely vse Their owne religion seruing God as best they list to chuse And neyther part the other for to trouble or molest With warres or bookes that Germany might liue in peace or rest But Papistes can no peace abide continually they write And both with wordes and wretched déedes most cruelly doe bite Not onely vs which might perhaps be well enough endurde But also Gods most holy worde and gospell here assurde If tumults on our partes arise or any great ado Or if our men doe armour take being forced therevnto And by the law of armes doe burne and spoyle their enimie And take the pillage of their foes immediately they crie The wicked Gospell worketh this beholde in what a plight These fellowes liue the Deuill brought this Gospell first to light It Turkish is and not the same that Luke wrought long ago And spightfully they slaunder it with many raylings mo As if that any Preacher here did euer this alow Or any did by worde of Christ such crueltie auow They know full well themselues that none of ours did euer teache To vse such violence nor this vnto the people preache Yet with their vile infectiue tongues and mouthes enuenemde tho With poyson that in hellish lakes and Stygian streames doth flo The Gospell of the Lorde they doe most spightfully defame And herewithall the Ministers and Preachers of the same But who can Princes gouerne here or any meanes deuise To kéepe them in from vsing force against their enimies Why doe they not as well diswade their Catholikes and blame Them for their force and crueltie that doe the very same And boldely euery where destroy and euery man molest Yea euen their very friendes at home that faine woulde liue at rest What kinde of Gospell teache those men that euen openly With bitter wordes and bookes perswade men to such cruelty Are these to any man vnknowne doth Fraunce and Italy Not openly declare the same and plainely testify Do not the pulpettes of the Pope perswade this martiall might And pardons euery man hys sinnes that in their quarrell fight But sure the wallet them beguiles that hanges behinde their backe And better others faultes they sée than what themselues doe lacke Accounting here for catholickes themselues and all their traine And others all as heritickes and wicked people plaine Wherefore the chiefest members of this holy popish state Their cerimonies and their dayes they yearely consecrate Their foolish fayth and beastly life I openly doe showe That all the worlde may vnderstande and euery man may know That neyther Christ nor perfit fayth they any whit doe way But onely séeke to looke aloft and boldely for to say That they the booke of Peter are and holy Catholickes And we vnhappie castawayes and cursed heritickes But wherein are they Catholickes bicause they folow here The truth but what they folow and beléeue doth plaine appere So it is that in number they and countries vs excell So mayst thou both the Turkes and Mores call Catholickes as well Herewith I iudge that euery man that hath an vpright heart Doth vnderstande how iust our cause hath béene for to depart From this their monstrous fayth and from their lewde ydolatrée And for to shonne these popish members all of ech degrée As men that neyther Christ doe know nor euer séeke to finde Nor suffer such as woulde but kéepe them still in darcknesse blinde FINIS A Table of the principall matters
