Nicholas Belerrian a Minister in Shrop-shire John Adams a Taylor and John Lacels a Gentleman belonging to King Henry the Eighth these beholding the Invincible Constancy and patience of Mistriss Askew were thereby much incouraged in their Sufferings About the same time Sir John Blage of the Kings Privy Chamber was falsly accused to have spoken against the Mass upon which he was condemned to be burnt in Smithfield whereupon the Earl of Bedford begged his pardon of the King who Commanded it to be drawn immediately After his release Sir George coming to the King Ah my Pig said he for so he usually called him Yea said Blage if your Majesty had not been better to me than your Bishops were your Pig had been roasted before this time Presently after Gardiner Bishop of Winchester and his Confederates set forth a Cruel Proclamation in the Kings Name for abolishing the Scriptures and all other English Books that discovered the truth to the people and having obtained this they very much rejoyced therein hoping that they had now for ever suppressed the Gospel so that it should never rise again and to strike the greater terror into mens minds they made a diligent search after the Professors of the Truth of whom they took the Names of some drove away others and hereby doubted not but to attain their ends But it pleased God that in the midst of these subtil Contrivances for the destruction of his Gospel and Servants to take away King Henry the Eighth within four Months after the Proclamation and thereby all their hopes and projects were utterly disappointed King Henry the Eighth being dead his only Son Prince Edward our English Josiah ascended the Throne under whom the Protestant Religion was established and Popery and Superstition abolished for he caused all Images to be demolished and as Idolatrous to be taken out of all Churches within his Dominions the Learned men of his time he encouraged and commanded them to open and expound the Scriptures he abolished the Mass and ordered the Service to be read in the English Tongue and the Sacrament of the Lords Supper to be administred in both kinds to the People But it pleased God in a short time to take him to himself for in the Seventh Year of his Reign and the seventeenth Year of his age he was taken with a lingring sickness during which time a Marriage was concluded between the Lord Guilford Dudley eldest Son to the Duke of Northumbereand and the Lady Jane the Daughter of the Duke of Suffolk whose mother being then alive was Daughter to Marry King Henry the Eighth's second Sister The Marriage being finisht and the King every day more sick than other so that he seemed past Recovery the Duke of Northumberland being ambitious to advance his Family perswaded the King that the Church and the True Religion would be in great danger if he did not chuse a pious Successor and that it was the part of a good Prince to set aside all other respects when the Glory of God and the good of his Subjects were concerned The King partly for his great desire to have the Protestant Religion confirmed and partly for the intire love which he bore to his Cousin the Lady Jane signed Letters Patents under the Broad Seal to appoint the Lady Jane to succeed him in the Kingdom although her Title were excluded by the Lady Mary who was alwaies a zealous Papist and the Lady Elizabeth This was afterwards confirmed by the Nobility and Chief Lawyers of the Kingdom and was subscribed to by all the Kings Council the Lord Maior and Aldermen of Lndon who upon the Death of King Edward which happened in a short time after proclaimed the Lady Jane Queen in London and Westminster The Lady Mary being in Hartford-shire and hearing of it presently sent to the Lords of the Council commanding and requiring them to Proclaim her Queen which if they refused to do she threatned to recover her Right by force of Arms. The Lords returned answer That the Lady Jane was invested and possessed of the Crown by just Right and Title both by the Ancient Laws of the Land and by Letters Patents signed and sealed by the late King before his death and therefore they declared they would adhere to her and to none other requesting the Lady Mary that she would not upon any pretence endeavour to disturb the peace of the Kingdom promising her that if she would carry her self as a dutifull Subject they would be ready to do her any service The Lady Mary having received this answer withdrew further from the City and the Council being sensible of her stout and unquiet disposition they raised an Army which was commanded by the Duke of Northumberland The Lady Mary went into Suffolk and Norfolk gathering such aid of the Commons as she could and kept her self in Framingham Castle to whom the Suffolk men first resorted who being alwayes forward in promoting the Gospel promised her their aid and assistance provided she would make no alteration of the Protestant Religion as it was established by her Brother King Edward To this she readily agreed and confirmed it with such Vows and Ptotestations that none could suspect her whereupon they joined with her and thus by the help of the Protestants she vanquished the Duke of Northumberland and his Army and was settled in the Kingdom but she soon forgot her promises for these very Suffolk men observing that Popery would be re-established they Petitioned to her to perform her word to them at which she was extreamly displeased and told them Forasmuch as you who are Members desire to rule your Head you shall one day find that Members must obey not se k to rule Yea one of the chief of these men Mr. Dob by name she caused for the Terror of others to be set in the Pillory several times and divers others that presented Supplications to her not to set up Popery she caused to be sent to prison Queen Mary being settled in the Kingdom the Lady Jane her Father the Duke of Northumberland and her Husband the Lord Guilford Dudley were soon after Beheaded and the Queen soon discovered her disaffection to the Protestant Religion by displacing all the Orthodox Bishops as Poinet Ridley Scorie Hooper Coverdale and by releasing out of the Tower Stephen Gardiner Bishop of Winchester whom she made Lord Chancellor of England and Bonner who was made Bishop of London Then the Queen publisht a Proclamation that she was resolved to observe and maintain the Catholick Religion wherein she was bred up requiring all her Subjects quietly to embrace the same A while after this Bonner and Gardiner begun a cruel and bloody persecution upon the Protestants and made them fall in heaps For Mr. Hooper Mr. Rogers Mr. Taylor Mr. Bradford Mr. Saunders all famous men were condemned and burned for Heresie In the year 1555.

substantial sign to be used in Baptism Answer Read that of Saint Mat. 3.11 I Baptize you with vvater and Acts 10.47 Can any forbid water that these should not be baptized But the Papists use Salt Oyle Spittle and many other Superstitions and Additions which they have made to the Institution of Jesus Christ in Baptisme King James of Famous Memory in his Apology hath these Words The Queen my Mother at my Baptism although I was Baptised by a Popish Arch-bishop sent him word to forbear to use the Spittle in my Baptism which was obeyed it being indeed a Filthy and Apish Trick Her own words were That she would not have a Pocky Priest to spit in her Childs Mouth Quest What do the Papists mean by the Mass which they so often talk of Answ It is the same which the Protestants call the Sacrament of the Lords Supper and the Papists call it the Mass thereby intimating that the Sacrament of the Lords Supper is made a Sacrifice and offered up to God which as it is used by them is both Vain and Idolatrous 1. Because by the Death of our Blessed Saviour who was Sacrificed for our Sins Divine Justice is sufficiently satisfied and the Sinner who returns and Repents is fully secured as to his everlasting State Heb. 10.12 This man after he had offered one Sacrifice for Sins for ever sate down at the Right-hand of God 2. The Papists Worship their Mass not only as God but trust in it for Salvation instead of Christ our Saviour Neither doth it excuse them to say that they worship not the Bread or a breaden God but Jesus Christ whom they suppose to be present for this Argument cannot free them from Idolatry no more than it will the Heathen Idolaters who though they worshipped the Sun yet supposed it to be God and so they did Jupiter whom they worshipped And therefore if Papists be not Idolaters there never were any such in the world Qu. Are these all the Points wherein the Papists and Protestants differ Ans No for a Volume would hardly contain the Fopperies of that Apostate Church as denying the Cup in the Lords Supper to the people Pardons Indulgences Pilgrimages and Jubilees their seven Sacraments instead of two appointed by our Saviour forbidding Priests to marry Justification by Works Merit Equivocation and abundance more which if truly understood would make every Protestant abhor both their Church and Doctrine Qu. But is the Apostacy of the Church of Rome such as there is no safe union with her or being saved in that Religion Ans If Rome be that spiritual Babylon mentioned Rev. 18.4 as it is there very plain and evident then are we absolutely commanded to come out of her lest being partakers of her sins we be partakers of her plagues Qu. But though the Roman Church in her Doctrine be directly contrary to Scripture yet how can all this demonstrate that the Pope is the Antichrist so expresly foretold in 2 Thes 3.4 Ans To resolve this question let us consider 1. That the Holy Ghost in Scripture hath been very exact in pointing out Antichrist by such notorious marks and characters as after-Ages might easily know him if they do not wilfully shut their eyes 2. Unless we deny our Senses as Papists do in many things we cannot be ignorant that the Popish Church clearly answers all those marks which are given of him in Scripture even him whose coming shall be after the working of Satan with all power signs and lying wonders forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath appointed to be used with thanksgiving who sitteth in the Temple of God and exalteth himself above all that is called God who bewitcheth the Kings of the Earth with his Inchantments and is drunk with the blood of the Martyrs of Christ Jesus yea whose Traffick and Merchandize is not only silver and gold but the Souls of men Rev. 18.13.3 This Mystery began to work in the time of the Apostles and he who for a time did withhold his coming that is the Heathen Emperours of Rome hath been long since taken out of the way And 4. It is undeniable that this Adversary can be no single person or of a short continuance but is a Politick Body or Kingdome united in one Supreme Head and with a succession for many Ages 5. It is apparent that these express characters of Antichrist can be applied to no other Enemy of Jesus Christ or his Church under the New Testament either Pagan or Mahometan Qu. But it is said of Antichrist that the Lord will consume him by the breath of his mouth and how can this be applied to the Pope or Church of Rome Ans 1. We know that the Fall of Antichrist must be by degrees as his Rise was and not all at once 2. How have these last Ages of the World been cleared from Antichristian darkness in England Scotland Ireland France Germany Sweden Denmark the Low-Countries c. Qu. But do we not see Popery prevail now in a more than ordinary way in several Countries where the Gospel has been clearly preached Ans This is not so strange if we consider 1. That where the truth is not received in love God doth many times give up men to strong delusions to believe lies 2. Observe that such as imbrace Popery do not do it from Principles of Reason or Conscience but it is the visible effect of a Licentious Age and from an unusual growth of Atheisme and Ignorance for it is not to be admired if those who never really had any Religion Espouse any Religion that may serve their Interest or Lust 3. There is no such great slavery exercised over the body under Turkish bondage as there is over the Reasons and Consciences of men under the Popish Yoak so that they have no way to be convinced of their Errors since they must not see with their own eyes the most clear discoveries of truth that can be made to them either in the Scriptures or any other Books Lastly though Popery seem to encrease yet it 's clear that they get but little advantage thereby and it seems only to make way for its utter ruine and destruction So that if the Pope be not Antichrist yet we may challenge Antichrist to do worse and wickeder things than he Qu. Certainly there can be but little encouragement for men to turn Papists if they rightly understand what Popery is Ans No question but there is great blindness upon their minds since the whole frame of it is but the driving on of a Politick Interest They shut up the Scripture to keep the people in the dark their Religion not being able to endure the light they set up an Infallibility to hold them under a blind obedience they pick their pockets by their Doctrines of Merit and Purgatory yea notwithstanding their high pretences to Charity it is such a Religion that no man can be damn'd except he be poor neither can any rich
