had beene since that time kindled by the Pope in all the Kingdomes of his dominion the same were at last somewhat moderated especially in England when Henry the eighth had banished the h Pope from thence who though he continued the said persecution yet was it not so hot as before But after his raigne they were altogether extinguished in Edward the sixt his time though they were kindled againe by Marie who succeeded the said Edward yet the great heate thereof was within few yeares after so quenched in Queene Elizabeths time and by her meanes that the Church was then in great hope that it should have bin altogether delivered that they might then without any great difficulty have come to the end of their so much desired journey for in the very beginning of her raigne shee following the example of her said brother Edward who as another Moses had begun the said reformation with her Princes Peares and heads of Peoples assembled in Parliament abolishing all false Antichristian Idolatrous doctrine * digged with their staves of authoritie with the lawgiver a well of cleare doctrine as it is noted before wherby she did refresh as with cleare coole water of life her thirsty people giving also by this meanes a fit opportunity to prepare tune the harpes of God that they might be ready to sing the song of Moses the servant of God the song of the Lamb when they should have bin passed over And therby did shee in a very little space of time conquer unto Christ the whole Kingdome of England a most glorious conquest indeede yea much greater then that of William surnamed the Conqueror At which change all Christendome stood amazed saith the Historie that it could so easily be effect ed without sedition though it was not suddenly made but by little and little by degrees for the Roman Religion saith hee continued in the same state it was first a full moneth and more after the death of Queene Mary The seven and twentieth of December it was tolerated to have the Epistles and Gospels then the ten Commandements the Symbole the Letany and the Lords Prayer in the vulgar tongue The two and twentieth of March the Parliament being assembled the Order of Edward the sixt was reestablished and by the Act of the same the whole use of the Lords Supper was granted under both kinds The foure and twentieth of June in the yeare following by the authority of that which concerned the uniformity of publique Prayers and administration of the Sacraments the Sacrifice of the Masse was abolished and the liturgie in the English tongue more and more established In the moneth of July the Oath of Allegiance was proposed to the Bishops and other persons and in August Images were thrown out of the Temples and Churches and broken and burned The like being done also by her meanes and assistance the very same yeare in Stotland Now as God had given the two forenamed Kingdomes of Sihon and Og to Israel as the first fruits of their inheritance in like manner doth hee give these two to his Christian Israel and both of them were to bee incouraged thereby against the residue of their enemies beyond the river so that that which Moses said then to the one may truely be said to both * That they had seenewhat the Lord their God had done unto these two Kingdomes and the like should the Lord doe unto all the Kingdomes whether they should passe that therfore they should not feare them because ●ehovah their God would fight for them do unto them ●●●e had done to those two their land for which also both of them were to be thankfull unto God and to sing his praises as it is said in the hundred thirty sixe Psalme * Confesse ye to Jehovah for hee is good for his mercy endureth for ever Sihon King of the Amorites for his mercy endureth for ever And Og the King of Basan for his mercy endureth for ever and gave their land for an heritage even an heritage unto Israel his servant for his mercy endureth for ever Thus did that most triumphant like Queene conquer those two kingdomes in a spirituall manner putting the last hand to the stripping of the Popes Authority in the said Kingdoms h which was begun even from the time of the forementioned Wickleff when hee did teach against the Supremacie of the Pope temporaltie of the Cleargie Monks pardons affirming likewise that the Church of Rome was the Synagogue of Hell and his Clergie heretickes whose doctrine was even then much favored by King Edward the third and many of his Nobles who withstood with great courage the exactions of Pope Clement the sixth Neither could it bee extinguished ever since that time in the said kingdome though it was most miserablie persecuted in the most part of the professors thereof by the Bishops there even till Henry the eight who banishing the Pope as is already said out of the land stripped him by this meanes of his Hierarchichall power there In which worke his said sonne Edward the sixt continued during his time but Queene Mary seeking to reinvest him againe in the same shee was cut short by God who then raised that Heroicall Virago forenamed Queene Elizabeth in whose time and by whose meanes under God the said Hierarchicall authority of the Pope himselfe dyed as it were or fell there downe to the ground But yet herein these worthy Princes did but in some manner even as Moses when he stripped Aaron the High Priest of his Pontificiall ornaments which presently after he * did put upon Eleazar his sonne i And so did they when after the stripping of the said Pope they did invest the Bishops his true right progenie and that by the authority of their Parliaments of the said Hierarchicall power which hath continued hitherto and since become the right Nationall Euphrates forementioned or glassie Sea mingled with fire And though in the said time of Queene Elizabeth the said renewed or rather changed and as it were new shifted Hierarchie did assume but a little power being but as in its infancy and daring not to shew the hornes of the Beast whereupon this Hierarchicall Harlot was most gloriously mounted yet gathering strength by little and little as the rivers doe commonly which though neere their source or spring their streames be but small and weake yet in the continuance of their course by the gathering together of many rivolets or small streames they become at length broad deepe and strong yea able to beare the greatest trading ships even as the Thames it selfe or rather that literall Euphates as we see it described by the Holy Ghost in the Prophesie of Isa●as chap. 8. 7. in that threatning of the people of Judah saying unto them that because they had refused the waters of Shiloah which ran softly c. therefore the Lord would bring up upon them the waters of the river
