in his owne cursed deuycis and also fast fetered in the bandes of his offēces and so was this cursed Caine. Thus by disobediēce sinne so much encresed that god repented the creacion of man determining that he for the punishment of sinners woulde destroye the whole worlde and so God dyd eayght persons Noe his wife his thre sonnes their wyues onelye excepted We do reade also that when Loth was commaūded to depart from Sodome with hys wife and daughters he was forbydden of God that he nor any of them shoulde loke behind theym but shoulde go forwarde to that city whych God had a poynted him to euyll in yet Loth his wyfe beīg sumthynge lyke vnto Eue the wyfe of Adam contrary to goddes cōmaundement dyd loke backe vp on the two cityes of Sodome Gomorra and she for her disobediēce was tourned into a pillar of salte and soo remayneth for our example to this daie When Moyses also was sente by God vnto Pharao Kinge of Egipte for the diliueraūce of the peculiar people of God Pharao wold not heare hym wherefore God saide vnto Moyses I wyll harden Pharos hert for that he is dysobedient vnto my voyce and I wyll multiply miracles in the lande of Egipte and so God did ther eate breade nor dryncke water therefore shall not thy bodye come into thy Fathers graue And it came to pas that as he was goinge from Bethelem to Iuda he was deuoured in the wai with a greuous Liō Here mighte somethyng also be spoken of the great foly and disobedience that was in Achab and howe obstinatlye he did refuse to heare the true Prophets of God Doing euyl in the sight of God more then al they whyche were before hym kynges ouer Israel For he thoght it but a small thynge too walke in the sinnes of Ieroboam so that hee dyd more to prouoke God vnto wrathe then all the kinges that before him werein Israel Wee haue also a notable example of the Prophet Ionas who beyng called of God to go vnto Niniue to preach hys worde and also to tel them in what short time their citie if they dyd not repent them selues shuld be destroyed yet Ionas not hauyng the hart of Moises did flee frō the voyce and face of God preparing hym selfe to go another way but god preuenting him in his iorney so ordained that whē Ionas was vpon the Sea there arose such a wonderfull tempest that all y t were in the shyp thoughte that God had forsaken them And vntyll the Prophete Ionas by the mariners was cast into the sea the tēpest seased not and assone as they had throwen Ionas into y e see the weather was fayre and calme Anotable example worthye of all christen mē to be noted for y t it teacheth vs that god doth not suffer anye one sparke of dysobedience in man to skape vnponyshedde althoughe the offence to some man maye seme but small yea euen in those which god tenderly loueth as he did this good Prophete Ionas Nowe as we haue hearde by diuers examples of scripture what dysobediente people were amonge the peculiar people of god So it is to be asked whether the lyke example haue bene in practyse among vs of this realme or no or whether in these oure dayes there hath bene amonge vs suche or rather the same māner of proud and dysobedyente people which as before you haue harde was amonge the peculyar people of God ▪ dyd not our late pretensed bishopes as Lucifer before had done presume to sytte in Godes seate proudly speakinge against god blasphemīg his holy name dispisynge hys tabernacle and holy sainctes that dwell in heauen teaching in the Churche of God the wicked doctrine of Sathan and as the Prophet saith seaced not to vnhallow the saīctuary of truth to put downe the dayely offeringe and to set vppe the abhominable desolacion whyche was the seasinge of the veneration of the body and blod of Christe in the blessed Sacrament of the aulter the takyng awaye oure holye fastynges holye feastes and holye prayinge too Saynctes Thus these dysceytefull Prophetes as sayeth oure Lorde made speedye haste but I appointed theym not they Ranne a greate pase but I sente them not they preached fast but not out of my spirit therfore wyth false title and corrupt entencion they haue entred whose rewarde and Iudgement shalbe euerlasting fier Otherwyse also haue wee not had amonge vs such other lyke tēporal Lucifers as cold not be contented and plesed wyth such estate and honour as theyr drad souerayne had called thē vnto but rather desired as Lucifer did in their heartes to aspyre to the Imperiall state of this Realme Agayne haue we had no Caimes trowe you y ● hath not let to seeke the bloude of iust Able his brother Maye it not be asked howe many iust Ables in oure daies haue suffered for the vnitye of Christes Catholicke Church in this Realme the cruell deathe of Marterdome I meane not here of those late Heretickes that latelye haue beene iustly burned for their heresies as Hoper Rogers Ridlei Latimer Crāmer such lyke but I mene of those which haue suffered for the vnitie of the Catholycke churche of Christe as dyd that holy father Docter Fysher sometyme Byshop of Rochester and Sirre Thomas More sumetyme Chaunceler of thys Relme Docter Powel Fetherstone Reinoldes Rochester Newdigat w t many other notable lerned mē after thē How many Lothes wiues haue wee had in thys Realme that haue not onely tourned their heartes frō the rules of obedience but also haue tourned their hearts from y ● sincere fayth of the vniuersal Catholycke churche of chryste from the true vnderstandyng of hys worde Haue wee not also hadde amonge vs Chore Dathan and Abyram whyche dysobedyentlye haue gathered theyin selfes together agaynste Moyses and Aron taking vpon thē to bring in to the churche of God a newe deuised seruīg of god newly inuēted of thē selues instructinge the multitude to dispise and forsake their trewe Moises and Aron and to folowe them as sent of God to teache O vnhappye and Cursed dyscyples of Antychrist how haue you bewitched y ● people of this worthy realme y t many of vs to cōforme their heresies had rather at this day burne and dye wyth the dyuill then to ryse wyth Moyses and lyue with Christe Heare some wil aske what is meaned by our forsaking Moises I answere y t our forsakinge of Moises was when we by the false perswasiō of Chore Dathā and Abiram disobediently fell from our mother stay coūceller of our faith the Churche of Rome so were deuided frō y e flocke vnitie of y e Catholyke church of god our forsakynge or puttinge Aarō to silence was when oure faythful and obedient bishops were persecuted and imprisoned for the Catholicke faithe as was the good Bishop Athanasius amōg the Arriens whiche was of thē most persecuted for hys constant
