namque fides affectus eorum quorum est diuersa fides I hasten to an ende with you you Catholiques what is there now then I pray you that may further be thought of or deuised for the pacification of your malcontented stomackes Would you wish that her Maiestie inasmuche as now perhappes you are ashamed to require of her in flatte termes to abandon her owne profession for thr aduauncement of yours and forasmuch also as you are or maie bee stopped to saie there is sauetie in permitting two contrary Religions within this her lande would you now wish I saie that her highnes contenting herself with her owne particuler choyse in Religion and that for her owne gratious person onely should establish a contrary Religion wholy all-only amongst her Subiects Most deuilish would that be to be wisshed but most gracelesse to be thought that euer her Maiestie would be so vnnaturally enclined towards her so deere and louing people Hath her most gratious Maiesty so manie yeres in the highest care of her Subiects sauety and that chiefly in the regarde of their Soules health exposed herself to perilles beyond the compasse and proportion of mannes accompt and hath she for the generall mainteyning of the Gospell of Christ amongst al her whole people throughout her dominions from yere to yere nay almost from moneth to moneth endured the succession of so many so horrible so determined so imminent attempts of Treason against her royall persone her Crowne her life and would she now think you be so satisfied with the loue of her Subiects or rather with louing her Subiects whome her highnes séeith most insatiable in the loue of her and of her life and raigne that now louing or rather seeming to loue her self only shee should so highly neglect in this principall degree of loue and care the sauety of the Soules of her so louing and true harted people The lord forbidde there should be any so wicked as in this sort to think of her Maiestie But I wil abruptly turne my selfe from you you irreligious of the land for you haue tourned your selues from the Lord and haue lifted vp your Hornes againste his annoynted your Prince and Soueraigne Not I therefore but the Lorde shall further expostulate with you the cause of your Ingratitude Of which sort of vnnaturall english I hope there is none here present yet this spech to them as present is not vnnecessarie that if any light in company of any such they may the better arme them selues in thus challenging and reprouing them And now to you my louing brethren who reioyce to see y e daies euen this present daye of her Maiesties prosperity and Peace The chiefe exhortation I haue to commend vnto you is the same of the Apostle Reioyce in the Lord and againe I saye reioyce Let your softnes be knowne vnto all men The Lord is euen at hand be carefull for nothing but in all prayers and supplications let your petitions be manifest vnto god with giuing of thanks The time is spent and it is more then time I had ended And yet if I durst farther presume of your Honourable and worshipful patience I would speake somthing more that should not altogether be vnprofitable for your hearing and sith your coūtenances do promise me attention I wil go to it as briefly as I can For as much as it standeth cleere vnto the view of the whole worlde that this long continued peace of ours with all the other blessings whatsoeuer wherewith our English state gouernment hath for so many yeres now passed bin established as I might say amply enriched hath had none other existencie but in the great power and hand of our God openly manifesting it selfe in the Ministery of her Maiestie and of her prudent and most faithfull Counsailers How great an indignity therefore would it be vnto vs the Subiectes of this Lande if that whereas her Maiestie with her most honourable priuie Counsaile euen from the beginning of her raigne to this day hath gouerned vs by none other rule then by the rule of Gods most holy word nor by any other lawe then by the lawe of this lande nor by any other order or manner of administration then as maie best serue to sustayne and beare vp the common with the particuler and the particuler with the common in a mutuall regard and reciprocation the one to the other We againe for our partes should bee so farre from a dutifull acknowledgment hereof as that in stead of our readines and zeale towards her Maiestie and those her most honorable Counsaylours wee should yeeld them murmuring and repining and in steade of our thanckfulnes wee shoulde yeeld them hard speaking misconceiuing and which worse is bitter detraction O my brethren howe hard a case would this be And least any man being misled eyther by the error of his owne iudgement or by the secrete insinuation of the malicious malecontented in these troblesome times and yet hitherto thankes be to God more troublesome to our eares then to our eyes when as they see that by the déepe foresight of our graue and godly gouernours actions are otherwhiles to be vndertaken whether it be for repelling and resisting of knowne attempts or for the holding far of or keeping aloofe from vs the troubles abroade which otherwise woulde approche vs and that for the performance hereof some charge more then ordinary is betwixt while to be raysed They either little considering or of purpose not acknowledging how in a maner miraculous a thing it is that while the whole world as I mighte say euen the kingdomes and Countries rounde about vs to vs a worlde stand at this day garboiled and oppressed with troubles and sturres we euen we alone here in this our England as it were in a little Goshen neither feeling dint of sword nor hearing sounde of droomme nor fearing either slaughter or depilation of the oppressour sit vs still euery man in his owne home hauing freedome at the full to praise God in his Sanctuary and safety at the full to follow our affaires in the common wealth I say least any ignoraunt or seduced Subiect not so sufficiently pondering these blessinges as he ought to doe and as I would to God euery one of vs did should in the vniust discontentment of his minde eyther murmure and repine or otherwise speake euill of such as be in authority for some charge that may happen vnto him for the continuaunce heereof I would haue such a one to be taught that as he is vnable with all the Substaunce he hath to procure peace vnto himselfe if warre should come vpon him So to preuent war is not y e wroke of a Subiect it is the onely worke of a Soueraign and that by the alone deliberation of a prudent and Honourable Counsaile which may often fall out to bee with the very purchase of peace wherein as a Subiect standeth no further interested but to obey to be ready if neede

of this then a moste wofull Realme whose princely persone before had tasted of so greate daunger that the verie walles doe yet recorde her dolefull posie sicut ouis c. The God of heauen whose only hand was then and yet is her helper and ours bee for euer and euer extolled and the name of his mercy be neuer forgotten amongste vs. But now when I should rest my selfe in the performance of this portion namely in the delyueraunce from thraldome and the proclaiming of peace to the whole lande outwarde in the repose of the Lande inwarde in the freedome of Conscience whereas from the woe I should passe on to the welfare and from the mournfull face of calamity I should descend or rather ascende to the ioyfull apparaunce of our blessed felicitye miserably Naye deuilishly nay dampnably am I interrupted with the oppositions of Traytors the ouerthwartinges of Rebells the enchaunting of Witches the charmings of Sorcerers the presagings and foretellings of Sooth sayers the seducings of Iesuites and Seminaries the conspyrings of domesticall Hypocrites and Traitors the bandings of popish foreyne Princes and the cursings of the Pope himselfe that Antychrist most accursed What should I say Swéet peace had no sooner discouered the bountye of her glorious face and the blossomes of godly tranquility were no sooner séen sprouting forth to the gladding of the harts of trew Christians but presently anon these Caterpillers were ingendred presently and anone these Cockaatrices were hatched presently and anone these Tyrantes were prouoked yea presently and anone this Antichriste of Rome the father of all mischiefe and sonne of Perdition was furiously enraged so that now I saye when as by the order of my deuision I shoulde speake vnto you of Ioye and of nothing else but ioye these enemies of our ioye and these enuiers of our happines as much as in them lyeth haue so ministred matter to the clogging vp of my passage that thereby they haue interrupted my proceeding and not a lyttle hindred my discourse But thancks be to God for he againe of his aboundant mercies and endlesse fauour hath so leuelled my way by the ruin of their inuentions and so smoothed my passage by the total confusion of their Stratagemmicall platts as on I may goe and on I will goe by the goodnes of God and your attention to deliuer vnto you some taste of the blessed exchaunge that by and through our Elizabeth hath bin wrought and brought to passe within this lande since her Maiesties gouernment And to begin withall what greater obiect of our ioye can I take vnto me then that which the common enemie hath intended to bee the matter and onelye obiect of our confusion namely and especially the deuine but yet expresse and visible deliuerances of our soueraigne frō time to time since her comming to the Crowne as before from all the deuices all the Treasons and all and euery the plats practizes and attempts whatsoeuer murtherously nay traiterously intended against her royall person so as yet in sauety shee liueth and as yet to the eternall prayses of our omnypotent God she sitteth a Queene a prepotent Quéene mighty and preuayling I saye preuayling againste all and singuler the attempts and attemptates that eyther haue bine or are at this present within the Realme or without at home or abroade And that longe maie shee so sitte the Lorde of his glorious mercie graunte we beseeche him To recken vp vnto you the particulers of the manifolde discouered attempts against her maiestie with the perticuler ouerthrowes of the same since her firste comming to the Crowne time as now will not suffer me What open Rebellions there haue bine begonne who were the ringleaders thereof what were their pretences what their power how farre they proceded and in what sorte they were stopped and that for the moste parte without effusion of bloode and finally howe and in what maner the chiefe attemptaes therof haue bine surprised namely and notably in the Rebellion of the North where the one of the two Leaders was putte as I maie saie into her Maiesties handes to receaue the due rewarde of his Treason and the other when as hee thought by his escape out of the Realme to haue escaped also the punishment of his most vile and trayterous offence was by the iust hande of God taken holde of and euen in the place of his hoped security as I haue heard brought to penury and want Againe to deliuer vnto you how oft and oft and euen nowe of late the murthering of her Maiesties person my hart trembleth and abhorreth to expresse the terme and the deuesting of her from her royall possession hath not onely bene contriued but euen in the instant also dessigned to haue bene performed By whom and in what sorte when and in what place and thereuppon also the moste miraculous discoueries therof somtimes by the parties themselues sometimes by the discouerie of others but alwaies and from time to time by the extraordinary and very expresse hand of God These thinges I say to stand vpon them in discourse to reckon vp vnto you the particulers therof so far foorth as to vs may be knowne considering the time is well spent the generall knowledge therof is rife common to all I should but lengthen the time therin beyond compasse and ouer largely presume of your borrowed patience I will nowe therefore briefely procéede to other benefites By the blessing of this so blessed and miraculous preseruation of her Maiesties royall person howe great and inestimable the blessinges are which we haue receiued and doe enioye by the same would now in a worde be considered First therfore and aboue all we haue and enioy by her Maiesty the most glorious of all glorious Iewels the true and sincere worde of God with the free open and vniuersall preaching and professing thereof By the which the errors of mans life are disclosed the affections of mankinde relieued the knowledge of sin procured the forgiuenes of sinne proclaimed and againste all sin and errour whatsoeuer the assurance of faith ingendered confirmed as by the which and through the which come death come life come what wil or can come in the world the pledge and earnest of our saluation in Christe Ihesus is surely setled and sealed vp in our soules euen vntill the day of Iesus Christ and of our redemption And let all the Justiciaries of workes in the earth magnifie to the vttermost of their power and skil the vertue of whatsoeuer they can or doe blasphemously imagine to be propitiatory for sin I appeale vnto the Consciences of al that haue tasted in any measure of the good word of God and how swéete the lord is whether one dram of true faith in Christ his death and bloodsheading rightly grounded vppon the promise of his word this worde which I speake of be or haue not bin found vnto them more auaileable to the pacifying of their afflicted soules and consciences then any thing in
