❧ A briefe Treatise Concerning the vse and abuse of Dauncing Collected oute of the learned workes of the most excellent Deuine Doctour Peter Martyr by Maister Rob. Massonius And translated into English by I. K. Ecclesiasti 9. ver 4. ¶ Vse not the company of a vvoman that is a synger and a dauncer neither heare her least thou be taken by her craftinesse ¶ Imprinted at London by Iohn Iugge dwellyng at the North doore of Poules To the ryght worshypfull Maister Alexander Nowell Deane of the Cathedrall Church of Saint Paul Happie health with grace from God HAuing right worshypfull a Treatise sent vnto mee to be Imprinted as touching the vse and abuse of dauncing Collected out of the works of the most worthie and wel learned Deuine Doctour Peter Martir I fancied to present the same especiallie and aboue the rest to your worshyp and worthie person onely enforced thereto by the common brute of your rare zeale singular vertue and godly Religion The partie by whose penne and paine it was translated and chaunged from Romaine robe to English vesture is both vertuous learned and godlie and being stirred as it were stinged foreward of verie zeale seeing these disordred and daly daunsings in the rude Countrey marring mennes manners breeding much beastly behauiour and being desirous to haue such rudenesse reformed in those quarters where he is acquainted requested and wyld me to procure in print the publishing thereof VVhich hauing accomplished I most humbly present the same to your vvorshyppe emboldned the rather vnder your name to haue it published and put forth in print to the vew of the worlde for that it hath bene ouerlooked and lyked of Diuines zealous Religious learned and godly VVherfore desiring you good Master Nowell so it may bee taken as a token of my good wyll to your vvorshyppe I forbeare any farther to molest you with my vnlettered lynes beseching the euer and ouer ruling Iehoua through his Christ Iesus our only ioy to continue his good blessings vpon you and to make perfect the good he hath begunne in you and in vs all Amen ¶ Your vvorshippes to commaund T.K. ❧ To the Christian Reader THat I who am as I am Vndertake this mater good Christian when other of our English Nation wryting both learnedly with iudgement and zealously with knowledge against diuerse and sundry abuses crept in amongst vs nothing or very lytle handle the same may to many perhaps who are lyghtly wayed to the worse parte offer occasion of this common obiection What meaneth he to medle with this thing seeing hee séeth others holde their peace what thinketh he if it were so necessarie and néedefull a thing to bée published in print that among so many Bookes there shoulde bée none or nothing in them set foorth This kinde of cauell because I sée it first most of all others in the mouthes of many it séemed not therefore to mée a mysse at the first to méete herewith aswell to remoue the sinister opinion they conceaue I dare say of the godly as also the preiudiciall verdite this maye bréede vppon this my true though not trimme style of wryting Whether there bée not diuerse that haue writtē fréely franklie against the abuse of Dauncing not onely in the Latin and French but likewise in our mother tongue who wyll plucke the beame out of his eyes maye soone espie But why our late learned men haue not purposely penned some péece of work if it be long agoe or lytle these men forget it or neuer sée it forasmuch as it may be imputed to the want neyther of wyll nor abilitie to what it maye bee I certainly know not for who knoweth what things are in man sauing God and the spirit in him yet to vse a probable coniecture I take the occasion to be in these vertuous persons Because God hath eyther geuen thē the peaceable state of Salomon that they néede not come forth into the fielde or if not the peaceable state yet the ready yéelding of the people vnder EZra that there required no assaulte to be geuen or if not the ready yéelding yet the speedy conquest of captaine Iosua that the onely certayne sounde of the Trumpe the scripture hath ouerthrowne the walles of Iericho and the walles ouerthrown the bright Lamps of the gospell so shined out of their earthē vesselles that the eyes of the aduersaries wer in such sort daseled that Phineas with his speare thrust this Madianitishe woman cleane thorow or if none of all these come to passe as oft times for the aboundaunce of our iniquityes in these latter dayes they doo not yet because God hath sent them a Moyses zelouse in his cause Exo. 32.19 to put downe such outragious pastime that theyr shoulders are eased of this heauye burthen But wyll some Saloms say this comparison you make betwéene vs the chyldren of Israel is odious Farre bée it from vs that our disporte should be lyke or lykened vnto they re Whether there be such dissolute disportes in all places or no I am vtterly ignoraunt and God for byd there shoulde Neyther include I in this my comparison all manner of daunces no more then mine Author doth and so I beséeche thée gentle Reader interprete both our meanings But truely to reporte what I haue hearde with myne eares séene with mine eyes and myne handes haue as it were handled I sée no cause why ours theirs may not iustlye hée coupled together Theyrs who knoweth not tended to the dishonouring of God and to tell thée how many wayes God is dishonored by ours I maye deale with thée as the spyrite of the Lord dealt with the Prophet Ezechiel Sonne of man beholde the abhominations flowing out of this filthy fountaine Math. 12.36 For euerye ydle worde that man shall speake shall he geue accoumpt at the daye of iudgement And whether at this playe there bée any other almost then ydle wordes vttered if man wyll not I call heauen and earth to wytnesse But yet turne thée and thou shalt sée greater abhominatiōs then this That fylthy cōmunication proceede not out of our mouthes Eph. 4.29 5.3 but that whiche is good to the vse of edifying that no vncleannes be once named amongst vs as it becommeth Saints neither fylthines neither foolish talking neither iesting which are things not comely but rather geuing of thanks we are by the Apostle charged And whether at these meetinges these thinges bée not commonly vsed notwithstanding wée finde them forbidden vs by Gods worde if the offendours wyll not geue glorie to the Lord God of Israel by making confession of their faultes I appeale to theyr conscience bearing them wytnesse theyr thoughts accusing one another or excusing But yet turne thée and thou shalte see greater abhominations then these Christe condempneth him of adulterye that looking vppon a woman lusteth after her Mat. 5.28 but quallyfying the condempnation of adulterye because the Lawe of man requyreth so precyse profe yet howe the
