A13103	A motiue to good workes Or rather, to true Christianitie indeede. Wherein by the waie is shewed, how farre wee are behinde, not onely our fore-fathers in good workes, but also many other creatures in the endes of our creation: with the difference betwixt the pretenced [sic] good workes of the Antichristian Papist, and the good workes of the Christian Protestant.

other_o way_n good_a lord_n i_o can_v not_o but_o wonder_n at_o the_o bountiful_a liberality_n of_o our_o predecessor_n they_o build_v all_o these_o edifice_n and_o building_n from_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o own_o proper_a cost_n and_o charge_n without_o all_o contribution_n or_o collection_n that_o we_o read_v of_o and_o yet_o we_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o maintain_v and_o repair_v they_o except_o we_o have_v contribution_n collection_n and_o gather_n throughout_o the_o realm_n for_o every_o little_a bridge_n and_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o small_a bridge_n to_o be_v build_v from_o the_o ground_n jesus_n what_o a_o piece_n of_o work_n we_o make_v of_o it_o yea_o we_o must_v have_v a_o licence_n to_o beg_v all_o over_o the_o land_n for_o it_o or_o else_o it_o will_v never_o be_v build_v so_o that_o i_o very_o believe_v if_o we_o shall_v have_v but_o even_o one_o such_o a_o building_n to_o make_v as_o we_o have_v some_o in_o england_n build_v by_o our_o ancestor_n oh_o it_o will_v shake_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n nay_o i_o think_v assure_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a but_o for_o that_o we_o be_v wretched_a &_o miserable_a for_o there_o be_v great_a riches_n &_o wealth_n in_o england_n now_o god_n holy_a name_n be_v praise_v for_o it_o than_o ever_o there_o be_v since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n by_o many_o degree_n and_o yet_o we_o will_v part_v with_o nothing_o to_o any_o good_a work_n so_o covetous_a be_v we_o and_o so_o void_a of_o that_o holy_a zeal_n and_o burn_a charity_n which_o our_o forefather_n have_v to_o go_v forward_o be_v it_o not_o a_o good_a work_n to_o build_v college_n and_o university_n to_o erect_v free_a school_n and_o house_n of_o learning_n be_v indeed_o the_o very_a seminary_n of_o all_o wisdom_n learning_n and_o knowledge_n for_o the_o better_a education_n of_o youth_n in_o good_a letter_n whereas_o otherwise_o ignorance_n and_o barbarism_n will_v overflow_v we_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o you_o shall_v have_v some_o giddy_a head_n that_o will_v have_v all_o university_n college_n &_o school_n of_o learning_n to_o be_v utter_o suppress_v and_o overthrow_v which_o be_v even_o to_o pluck_v the_o sun_n out_o of_o the_o element_n the_o star_n out_o of_o the_o sky_n &_o the_o moon_n out_o of_o the_o heaven_n for_o as_o the_o world_n without_o the_o one_o will_v seem_v as_o it_o be_v a_o confuse_v chaos_n &_o palpable_a darkness_n so_o without_o the_o other_o shall_v we_o be_v all_o as_o dizart_n sot_n and_o peasant_n yea_o very_a buzzard_n &_o blockhead_n little_a or_o nothing_o differ_v from_o bruit_n beast_n nay_o to_o wish_v the_o overthrow_n of_o they_o be_v to_o wish_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o religion_n with_o a_o universal_a confusion_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o be_v not_o university_n and_o school_n the_o way_n to_o learning_n and_o knowledge_n be_v not_o learn_v the_o way_n to_o wisdom_n and_o be_v not_o wisdom_n as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a fynewe_n and_o tendon_n that_o hold_v together_o the_o whole_a body_n both_o of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n nay_o to_o say_v more_o be_v not_o wisdom_n the_o very_a life_n of_o they_o both_o and_o therefore_o they_o that_o desire_v the_o decay_n of_o the_o one_o do_v wish_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o other_o but_o yet_o to_o wade_v in_o this_o matter_n a_o little_a further_o be_v it_o not_o a_o good_a work_n to_o erect_v hospital_n spital_n and_o alm_n house_n wherein_o all_o such_o as_o be_v either_o old_a age_a impotent_a blind_a lame_a halt_v or_o otherwise_o decrepit_a may_v be_v relieve_v yea_o i_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a good_a work_n that_o a_o man_n can_v do_v in_o this_o life_n for_o do_v not_o christ_n account_n it_o do_v to_o himself_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v to_o his_o poor_a member_n upon_o earth_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v god_n to_o raise_v up_o more_o such_o man_n as_o may_v erect_v mo_z such_o house_n yea_o if_o it_o be_v in_o every_o city_n town_n and_o village_n then_o shall_v we_o have_v either_o none_o or_o at_o least_o few_o beggar_n as_o we_o call_v they_o among_o we_o than_o we_o have_v according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n who_o say_v let_v there_o be_v no_o beggar_n in_o israel_n that_o be_v amongst_o those_o that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n and_o religion_n of_o god_n while_o those_o that_o be_v old_a halt_v blind_a or_o lame_a shall_v be_v there_o harbour_v and_o other_o lusty_a vagabond_n who_o be_v able_a to_o work_v and_o will_v not_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o work_v by_o severity_n of_o law_n and_o to_o this_o end_n as_o i_o will_v wish_v more_o hospital_n for_o the_o relief_n of_o those_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o work_v as_o i_o have_v say_v so_o will_v i_o wish_v that_o there_o be_v mo_z house_n of_o correction_n in_o every_o sheer_a one_o at_o the_o least_o to_o punish_v and_o chase_v such_o lusty_a knave_n and_o quean_n as_o go_v roague_v about_o the_o country_n not_o labour_v at_o all_o but_o live_v upon_o filch_v steal_v purloin_v and_o pilfer_v from_o other_o i_o remember_v there_o be_v certain_a motion_n of_o late_a for_o the_o erection_n of_o such_o house_n in_o every_o shire_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o effect_v as_o yet_o partur_fw-la montes_fw-la nascitur_fw-la ridiculus_fw-la mus_fw-la it_o be_v too_o good_a a_o work_n to_o take_v place_n with_o we_o we_o have_v many_o good_a motion_n but_o few_o good_a effect_n follow_v god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o us._n but_o here_o a_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v whether_o the_o build_n of_o monastery_n priory_n &_o other_o religious_a house_n be_v good_a work_n or_o no_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o deed_n they_o have_v a_o zeal_n in_o they_o but_o not_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v secundum_fw-la scientiam_fw-la and_o they_o build_v they_o to_o a_o good_a intent_n as_o namely_o that_o the_o service_n and_o religion_n of_o god_n may_v be_v maintain_v and_o continue_v in_o they_o for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v afterwards_o abuse_v as_o they_o be_v in_o deed_n as_o be_v before_o remember_v and_o pervert_v to_o another_o end_n than_o be_v intendend_v by_o the_o first_o founder_n of_o they_o by_o a_o sort_n of_o caterpillar_n and_o idolatrous_a locust_n that_o converse_v in_o they_o and_o poison_v the_o whole_a world_n with_o the_o filthy_a dregs_n of_o their_o fornication_n the_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o abuser_n not_o in_o the_o founder_n and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o justify_v the_o founder_n for_o their_o good_a intent_n sake_n neither_o for_o a_o good_a intent_n be_v no_o good_a intent_n except_o it_o have_v his_o ground_n and_o warrant_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o then_o to_o say_v he_o do_v it_o to_o a_o good_a intent_n saul_n for_o a_o good_a intent_n as_o he_o pretend_v as_o namely_o to_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o lord_n keep_v alive_a the_o best_a of_o the_o cattle_n contrary_a to_o god_n commandment_n but_o notwithstanding_o his_o good_a intent_n god_n cast_v he_o of_o for_o it_o and_o depose_v he_o from_o his_o royal_a dignity_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o delight_v more_o in_o obedience_n than_o in_o sacrifice_n but_o however_o they_o be_v build_v or_o to_o what_o end_n or_o purpose_n so_o ever_o sure_o i_o be_o they_o be_v pull_v down_o to_o a_o better_a purpose_n as_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o den_n of_o thief_n the_o nest_n &_o cell_n of_o viper_n the_o dungeon_n of_o dragon_n the_o harborow_n of_o cockatrice_n &_o the_o cage_n of_o unclean_a beast_n and_o yet_o as_o i_o thank_v god_n for_o the_o overthrow_n of_o they_o for_o that_o they_o have_v almost_o drown_v and_o in_o short_a time_n will_v not_o almost_o but_o altogether_o have_v drown_v the_o whole_a world_n with_o the_o filthy_a puddle_n of_o superstition_n idolatry_n infidelity_n buggery_n and_o sodometrie_n so_o can_v i_o have_v wish_v that_o the_o land_n and_o revenue_n of_o they_o have_v be_v better_o employ_v as_o namely_o to_o the_o maintevaunce_n of_o college_n and_o school_n of_o learning_n to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o preacher_n throughout_o the_o land_n to_o the_o relief_n and_o sustentation_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o defence_n of_o the_o
