Iesu did Iesus Christ euer giue them commission thus to vse his name or did he euer make this psalter Lette them shew this by the holy Scriptures If he did not then lette them tell vs if any of his Apostles or disciples did make this psalter or did deliuer this psalter to vs and did tell vs on their creadite that it was the psalter of Iesus If neither Christ Iesus him selfe nor any of his Apostles nor disciples did deliuer this psalter to vs from whom then did it come who did make it who can assure vs that it is as they saye the psalter of Iesu Who was so bolde with the name of the Lord Iesus to put it to this psalter as though it were made by Iesus We know that there haue ben some olde deceauers which haue published their owne forgeries in the name of Iesus as there haue bene also manye double dealers which haue foysted out their falshoodes vnder the name of good men which haue bene of greate creadite in the Church of god Surely our Papistes coulde not haue picked out a more glorious name then is this name of Iesu vnder which they mighte haue sette foorth this their new founde psalter But this to do is to the authors thereof a thing most daungerous For it maketh them guiltie of taking the glorious name of Iesus in vaine and sheweth that they haue no deutifull regarde of the glory due to the Lord Iesus and to his most glorious name S. Paule intreating Philip. 2. how the Lorde of glorie Iesus Christ did for our sake humble him selfe and became obediente to the death euen the death of the crosse sayth also that now God hath highly exalted him and giuen him a name aboue euery name that at the name of Iesu euery knee shoulde bowe of thinges in heauen and thinges in earth and thinges vnder the earth and that euery tonge shoulde confes that Iesus Christ is the Lorde vnto the glorie of God the father Thus doth the holy Apostle teach that God hath giuen to Iesus a name a dignitie and power aboue all names dignities and powers For all power in heauen and earth is giuen vnto him He is so aboue all that they all must bowe the knee at the name of Iesus which as Hierom sayth Non ad genua corporis sed ad subiectionem mentis inclinationem animae cordisque obsequium pertinet doth not pertaine to the bowinge of the knee of the bodie but it pertaineth to the subiection of the mind the bowinge of the soule and obedience of the harte for all must obey him and be subiect to Iesus to the will maiestie power of Iesus Christ Sithence this glorie is due and to be giuen to our Lorde Iesus and to his glorious name howe dare Papistes be thus bolde to vse and abuse it to filthie sectes of their owne setting foorth to brotherhoodes to pardons feastes Masses mattens psalters such like thinges as they deuise them selues vnder that most holy name to gette creadite to their falshoodes and sale to their marchaundise Now we Christians do know by the doings and preachings of Iesus which are sette foorth vnto vs by the most true witnesses of him that is by his holy Apostles and disciples we do by their witnes perceaue that Iesus made no such brotherhoodes feastes Masses mattens howres Euensonges pardons no such psalters for if he had they woulde haue made some mention of them Yea and by the comparing of that which they did truely write of Iesu with these forgeries of Papistes we see the contrariety betwene them so greate that their first most auncient and true writinge doth sufficiently condemne these popish nouelties and this new psalter as a noueltie of falshoode and errour I call it a noueltie as it is If Papistes will disproue me then lette them show what Apostle what auncient apostolique man what approued auncient catholique doctor what auncient generall councell hath commended vnto vs this psalter as the Psalter of Iesu If any shewe vs but if none then is it a noueltie deuised either by that secte of Iesuites or els it may be that Fowler now wanting worke to occupie his presse for his olde maisters which were wont to sette him on worke haue spente their stoare and do not occupie him so freashely as they haue done and him selfe desireth hath deuised with some of his brethren how to make this psalter and so it maye be called Fowlers psalter but not the psalter of Iesus He doth adorne his worke with this braue title Certaine deuoute and Godly petitions commonly called Iesus psalter What deuotion and godlynes is in them shall hereafter appeare But lette M. Fowler tell vs when did this common callinge beginne I saye when did it beginne and among whom It must haue a large compasse that is common Is it ynough to make it common because now the Papistes doe call it common or because M. Fowler doth by his printe call it common Truely this is but a straighte narrow and shorte common but euen such a common is this as is their catholicisme In this their psalter they do as truely name common as they do in the rest of their religion name Catholique for there is no truth in either of thē Neither is this psalter so commonly called nor their religion Catholique but onely so called by them selues It seemeth also that the worke of this psalter did fall out shorter then M. Fowler thought it would and therefore he hath filled vp aboue three score leaues of his booke as in one of his copies is to be seene though it be lefte out in the lesser booke with a certaine new deuised Imagerie so the sithence wordes fayled him he might yet fill vp his booke with some thing to feede the eyes of his simple reader that is with a new stampe of Imagerie This his workemanshippe of Imagerie he doth adorne with this title Godly contemplations for the vnlearned He doth also for confirmation of this his worke adde a sentence out of Basill which he turneth into English meeter yet cannot this his whole worke of Imagerie be warranted by that sentence of Basill For it speaketh of such Imagerie onely as is reported vnto vs by historie But there are among the images made by M. Fowler some whereof we haue no reports by historie In what historie doth he reade that the Lorde God almightie which made both heauen and earth did in the creatiō of them shew him selfe in the likenes of an aged person with a crowne vpon his heade It was wont to be among popish painters a triple Popelike crowne but with M. Fovvler it is nowe but a single crowne not so much as a close crowne such as kinges monarches do weare but euen such a one as it pleaseth M. Fowler to put vpon his head Who taught M. Fowler to be thus bold with the Lorde God to make such a base and earthlie image of his glorious and heauenlie Maiesty Let vs looke
