we must beléeue him that he spareth no labour He commeth not into the Pulpit he preacheth not the Gospel he spareth that labor He is a Shepheard but fedeth not the Shéep féedeth not the Lambs he is a Stewarde yet disposeth not the mysteries of God this labour also hée spareth As for some other his trauailes we deny them not He sēdeth his Inquisitours Espies Agnos Dei and Buls He spreadeth rumors styrreth sedition raiseth subiects againste their Princes and forceth Princes to plague their subiects He hath conference with Traytours in Englande wyth Traytours in Irelande with Traitours in Germany with Traitours in Heluetia with Traitours in Denmarke wyth Traitours in Polelande He hath bene cause of all that spoile and waste in the noble kingdome of Fraunce He hath loosed and weakened the state of al Christendome it was neuer so weak as it is at this day And can we thinke al this coulde bée brought to passe without paine and trauel It may appeare he spareth no labour And this doeth he For the Gospels sake and That hee may saue some No but as did Caiaphas to arraigne Christe to crucifie the Lorde of glorie to cutte al those oute of the land of the liuing that their name maye be no more in memorie whose mouthes the Lorde hath opened to publishe the secret of the Gospel by whom the word of trueth is come vnto al the worlde and is fruiteful Hée is childe to them that murdered the Prophets and taketh al trauel and paines to fulfil the measure of his Fathers Sed impiorum numerus tantum potentiae inualuit vt nullus iam in orbe locus relictus sit quem illi pessimis doctrinis corrumpere non tentarint But the number of the wicked hathe encreased so muche that there is now no place in the worlde which they haue not sought to infect with corrupte doctrine Nowe at length it breaketh from thē Here is the matter of al their griefe When the Scribes and Pharisées perceiued the passage and glorie of the Gospell of Christ and could not stay it they said among themselues Perceiue ye how yee preuaile nothing Beholde the worlde goeth after hym And againe What shal wee doe if we lette him thus alone all men will beleeue in him Our credite is gone his doctrine is receiued and ours is forsaken The Priests and Saduces tooke it gréeuouslye that Peter and Iohn taught the people and when they saw the boldnesse of them they conferred among themselues saying What shal wee doe to these men let vs threaten and charge them that they speake henceforth to no man in this name So they called them and commaunded them that in no case they should speake or teache in the name of Iesus So did Annas the chiefe Priest and Caiphas and Iohn and Alexander and as manye as were of the kindred of the high Priestes gather themselues togither to resiste the trueth then so didde the Pharisées then deuise that the light of the glorious Gospel of Iesus Christe might not shine and bée knowen to the world And so doeth Pope Pius nowe for the like cause rage and storme and speake hys pleasure of vs. They are wicked sayeth hée theyr number daylye encreaseth their doctrine spreadeth farre and wide it dothe muche harme it hathe preuailed in moste places they are a wicked rable their doctrine is corrupte it hathe infected the worlde Belike his Holinesse is muche disquieted else hée woulde write more modestlye and make more aduised reports of suche wyth whome hée is not acquainted A manne woulde thinke he hathe to doe wyth Turkes and Infidelles wyth such who neither beléeue in God nor kéep his laws nor dread his Iudgementes That he hathe made out Commission againste Outlawries who rob and spoile and murder and destroy without mercie againste suche who haue no regarde of honestie but being paste shame maintaine Stewes and Harlottes euen as his Holinesse liketh well and suffereth to be done at Rome But where are they and who be they whom he calleth wicked what say they what do they wickedly it is much to bée accused and condemned of wickednesse This he speaketh and writeth of you your children whose eyes the Lord hath opened to espie his errours You are they whome he accounteth wicked euen you and al such who like as you doe know that Iesus Christe is the power of God and the wisedome of God Which confesse that he is the Lambe of God which taketh awaye the sinnes of the worlde Which say with the Apostles Among men there is giuen none other name vnder Heauen whereby we must bee saued And with Paule God forbid that I shold reioice but in the Crosse of our Lord Iesus Christe We reade the Scriptures of God we sende the people to the fountaines there we require thē to examine our doctrine we call vpon the name of the Lorde who liueth for euer we teache the people to make their prayers in a language they vnderstande we administer the Sacraments according to Christs institution we say that Christe is the onely Sacrifice for the forgiuenesse of sinnes and that God hathe appointed him ouer all things to be the head of the Churche we doe not make our prayers to dead Creatures we séeke no helpe at their handes whiche neyther heare vs nor can helpe vs. We moue the people to repentance we rebuke sinne we séeke reformation of life we make it manifeste that the Pope hath shamefully abused the whole world that the man of sinne euen the son of perdition shall be destroyed with the Sworde of the Spirite that euerys Plant which our heauenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted out and that the worde of the Lord shall continue for euer This is our profession this is that doctrine which we receiue frō God and learne by the worde of trueth whiche is able to make vs wise vnto saluation thorough the Faith whiche is in Christe Iesus This doctrine the Pope calleth wicked This doctrine he saith hath done muche hurte Blessed be God For the things that are acceptable to god are declared to vs. The things which eye hath not seene neyther eare hath heard neyther came into mans hearte whiche God hath prepared for them that loue him God hathe reuealed them vnto vs by his Spirite It hathe pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue thē that beleeue The number of them whiche are cōuerted vnto God by this word encreaseth and will more and more encrease in all places It is not the counsell or worke of men for then it woulde come to noughte But it is of God the Pope cannot destroye it Christe came to putte fyre on the Earth it shall not be quenched If wée holde our peace or if we all whome the Pope thus reuileth bée taken oute of the Worlde the stones shall crye oute and gyue witnesse to thys Doctrine For GOD is able of stones to raise vppe children vnto

famine of hearing the word of the Lord. We were driuen to eate those things whiche were loathsome and horrible to beholde we were driuen to féede vpon our owne children euen the phantasies and vanities of our owne heart There was no substance in them they coulde not féede vs. In this case were the children of Israel when they grewe wearie of the word of God and lefte the ordinaunces sette downe vnto them God had no pleasure in them their prayers and sacrifice were not accepted I can not suffer saieth the Lorde youre newe Moones nor Sabbaoths nor solemne dayes Who hathe required this of your handes In such case were the Scribes Phariseis when they forsooke to be guided by the word of God and tooke awaye the key of Knowledge they fedde vpon their own deuises they neglected the commādements and will of God and followed their owne traditions Therefore Christ reprooued them O Hypocrites Esaia● prophecied well of you saying Thys people draweth neare vnto mee wyth their mouth and honoureth mee wyth their lippes but their heart is far off from mee But in vaine they worshippe mee teaching doctrines mens precepts Therefore if wée séeke to knowe the Sacramentes of the Churche what they are if wée woulde bée instructed in the Sacrament of Baptisme or in the Sacramēt of the body and bloud of Christe if wée woulde learne to knowe oure Creatour and to putte the difference betwéene the creatour and a creature if wée desire to knowe what this presente life is and what is that life whiche is to come if we woulde beléeue in God and call vpon the name of God and doe worshippe vnto God if we would be settled in perfect zeale and true knowledge if we woulde haue an vpright conscience towards God if we would know which is the true Church of God it is verye néedeful that we heare the word of God There is no other word that teacheth vs vnto saluation Now it remaineth we speake of the delectation and pleasure which the word of God giueth The worde of God is full of sadde and graue counsell full of the knowledge of God of examples of vertues and of correction of vices of the ende of this life and of the life to come These are the contentes of the worde of GOD. These things saye you are greate and weightie of themselues there is no vanitie or pleasure in them They are greate and waightie I grant and bicause they are so waightie they be the more worthie that we heare them But we muste take a delight and settle our fansie that it maye like of the weight and greatnesse They were vnto the Prophet Dauid more sweete than home and the honie combe If we taste them with suche an affection as hée did wée shall féele and sée the greate and weightie and heauenly pleasure whiche is in them Many are delighted in the stories of Iulius Caesar of Alexander the Greate of mightie and victorious Princes They haue pleasure to reade of their warres of their victories and of their triumphes And many take their pleasure in trauell to far countries to sée the diuerse fashions and behauiour of men If it were possible we mighte stande vpon such a Hill from which we might at once see al parts of the world the Citties and Townes and Mountaines and Forrests and Castels and gorgeous buildings and al the Kings and Princes of the world in their princely estate if we might sée the varietie of the whole worlde how some liue quietly in peace others are turmoyled in war some liue in wealth others in pouerty and miserie some rise others fall To sée and beholde so greate varietie of things it cannot be but it would delight vs. Such a Hill from whence wée maye take view of so great varietie such a story in which we may reade of noble princes of their warres and victories is the worde of God Upon this Hill you may at once behold al the works of his hāds howe he made Heauen and Earth the Sun and Moone the Sea Flouds the fishes in the water the fouls in the aire and the beastes in the fielde Upon this Hill you may stand and sée his Aungels and his Archangels and blessed spirites howe some of them fell and some continued in glorie howe God hath sent them in message howe they haue come downe from Heauen to serue the sonnes of men Here you may reade of the warres of the God of Hostes howe he hath pitched his tentes in the middest of hys people and hath gone before them and foughte for them How the Amorrheans and Canaanites were rooted out howe the Amalekites were ouerthrowen by the lifting vp of Moses hands in prayer howe the wall of Iericho fell downe flat at the sound of a Trumpet and the shooting of the people and howe 185. thousand Assirians were slaine in one night by the hande of one Aungel when God raughte out his hand from Heauen to giue victorie to his people Here may you sée howe God plagued ouercame his enimies how he drowned Pharao in the red sea and his horses and men and Chariots altogither Her● may you sée Nabuchodonosor a mightie Prince so bereft of his wittes that hée forsooke his Palaces and the companye and order of men and liued in the fieldes after the maner of beasts Here may you sée how God stroke King Antiochus and King Herod with filthy diseases caused lice to eate their fleshe Howe he sent downe fire and brimstone from Heauen and destroyed Sodome and Gomorrha for their sinnes Howe he made the earth open and swallowe vppe Dathan and Ab●●am howe King Ozias was stricken with Leprosie and carryed from the Temple and cut off from his kingdom What stories of any princes or people in any age can report vnto vs so strange battels so mightie conquests so wōderfull deliuerance in extremities so dreadfull subduing of the enimies as the hand of God hath wrought and the storie of the Scriptures declareth vnto vs This worde also sheweth the goodnes and mercie of God towardes the people which put their truste in him Howe he made them terrible to their ennimies howe he made their enimies their footestoole how he ledde them safe thoroughe the red Sea how he sent his Aungell to go before them and guide them how he gaue them water out of a rocke and rained downe breade from Heauen howe hée brought them into a Lande that flowed with Milke and Hony and sware vnto them that hée woulde bée their GOD and they shoulde be his people In this worde are to be séene wonderfull and straunge workes of God such as are beyonde the course of nature and passe the reason of man That the Sea parted and stoode on both sides as a high wall that at the worde of Iosua the Sunne stoode still and went not on his course Ezechias spake the word and required it and the Sunne went backe tenne degrées At the word of Elias fire came

the fruit therof appeare but reiect it and make it a reproch and cast it away from vs and therfore is it that the Lord doth cast vs away that we are vnwise that we please our selues with our own deuises and follow our owne imaginatiōs and perish because we haue not vnderstanding to heare y e instruction of the Lords word but like ignorant mē disallow it and cast it behinde the backe The consideration hereof moueth mée to say somewhat of the holy Scriptures whyche are the bright Sunne of God whiche bring light vnto our wayes and comforte to all parts of our life and saluation to our soules In whiche is made knowen vnto vs our estate and the mercie of God in Christe our Sauiour witnessed That we may the better sée the path whiche wée haue to walke in my meaning is truely and plainely and shortly to shewe you what Auctoritie and Maiestie the worde of God beareth then what Profite we maye reape by it also howe needeful it is that we be wel instructed in the holy Scriptures and what Pleasure and Delectation a Christian conscience may finde in them and lastle whether they be darke and doubtfull or plaine and easie for youre vnderstanding that when we know the Maiestie and Auctoritie of the worde and what comforte and profitte GOD giueth vs by it we depriue not our selues thereof by oure vnthankefulnesse nor close vp our eyes that we sée it not but heare it in reuerence and in feare that it may be fruitfull in vs and we receiue it not in vaine The Scriptures are the worde of God What title can ther be of greater value what may be said of them to make them of greater auctoritie thā to say The Lord hath spoken them That they came not by the wil of men but holie men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost At the worde or Proclamation of an earthly Prince we stand vppe and vaile our bonnets and giue good eare to it we are bounde so to doe it is oure duetie such honour belongeth to the powers that are placed to rule ouer vs for they are ordained of God And who soeuer resisteth them resssteth the ordinance of God If we shoulde haue a reuelation and heare an Angell speake vnto vs how carefull would we be to marke and remember and be able to declare the words of the Aungel yet is an Aungel but a glorious creature and not God And what is a King greate and mightie yet mortall and subiecte to death creature and not God And what is a King great and mightie yet mortall and subiecte to death His breath departeth and his name shal perishe Bothe he and his worde his power and his puissance shall haue an ende But the word of the Gospell is not as the worde of an earthly Prince It is of more Maiestie than the word of an Angel The Apostle sayeth If the worde spoken by Aungels was stedfaste and euerie transgression disobediēce receiued a iust recompence of rewarde how shall wee escape if wee neglecte so great saluation whiche at the firste beganne to bee preached by the Lorde and was confirmed vnto vs by them that hearde him God saith by the Prophet Esay My word shal accomplish that whiche I will and it shal prosper in the thing whereto I sent it And the same Prophet saith The worde of God shall stand for euer And It is more easie that Heauen and Earth passe awaie than that one title of the Lawe shoulde faile sayth our fauiour For it is the worde of the liuing and almightie God of the God of Hostes whyche hathe done whatsoeuer pleased him bothe in heauen and in earth By thys worde he maketh hys will knowen I haue not spoken of my selfe sayeth Christe but the Father whiche sente mee gaue mee a commaundemente what I shoulde saye and what I shoulde speake And againe If I hadde not come and spoken vnto them they shoulde not haue had sinne but now haue they no cloake for their sinne No man hath séene God at any time He is inuisible no eie can reach vnto him The onelye begotten sonne whyche is in the bosome of hys Father he hath declared him he hathe shewed vs the throne of grace that wée may seeke for mercie and finde grace in time of néede he hath disclosed vnto vs the will of his father He hath lefte vnto vs and ordained that we should heare his holy worde Thys word the Angelles and blessed spirits vsed when they came down from Heauen to speake vnto the people when they came to the blessed Uirgine and to Ioseph and to others they spake as it was written in the Prophetes and in the Scriptures of God they thought not their owne auctoritie sufficient but they tooke credite to theyr saying and auctoritie to their message oute of the worde of God This Worde the Prophetes vouched and alleadged to the people Albeit they were sanctified in their mothers wombe albeit God had endued them with his heauenly spirite although a Seraphin came vnto one of them and touched his mouth with a hote coale albeit he sawe the Lorde sitting vpon an high throne yet they woulde not speake as of themselues but onelye in the name of the Lord for thus they vsed to say The Lord hath spoken this is the worde of the Lorde Heare what the Lorde saith Sainct Paule albeit hée was taken vppe into the third Heauen and into Paradise and hearde wordes that are not lawefull for man to vtter yet he wrote not his owne words to the Churches of Rome of Corinth and Thessalonica and of other places but deliuered which had receiued and taught them according to the Scriptures This word is the true Manna it is the bread which came downe from Heauen it is the key of the kingdom of heauen it is the sauour of life vnto life it is the power of God vnto saluation In it God sheweth vnto vs hys mighte hys wisedome and his glorie By it he wil be knowen of vs. By it he will be honored of his creaturs Whatsoeuer truth is brought vnto vs contrarie to the word of God it is not truth but falsehoode and errour whatsoeuer honour done vnto God disagréeth from the honor required by his worde it is not honour vnto God but blasphemie As Christ saith In vaine they worship me teaching for doctrines mens precepts By Esay God saith Who required this at your hands And by Ieremie I spake not vnto your Fathers nor commaunded them when I brought them out of the lande of Aegipt concerning burnt offerings Sacrifices But this thing commaunded I them saying obey my voice and I will bee your God and yee shall be my people and walke yee in all the wayes whiche I haue commaunded you that it may bee well vnto you Againe What is the Chaffe to the Wheate saith the Lord What are your dreames to be weighed with the truth of God Search the
