whereas the Church of Rome will be known to be the true church by the Visibilitie Antiquitie and multitude thereof and so bee seene and pointed at with the outward eye and finger you shall finde that Visibilitie Antiquitie multitude are not the markes of the true Church but a little flocke few in number and yet of greatest Antiquitie as by these places may appeare For tell me I pray you where the Church was visible when being assembled at Ierusalem there arose agreat persecution against it insomuch as they were all dispersed and ●ca●●red And where or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the church visible when Christ was smitten and all the rest was scattered and hid and concealed themselues Doth not S. Iohn in his Reuelation expresly witnesse that the church of Christ signified there by a woman fled into a desert or wildetnesse where shee had a place prepared for her of God and where she could not for a certaine season be found of the persecutors Where was the Church in the time of Elias the prophe● when he said They haue forsaken thy 〈◊〉 they haue destroyed thine Altar and sla●ne thy Prophets with the sword and I am left alone Agai 〈…〉 That vnder the raigne of Achas there was takē patterne of a the Altar of the Idol●ters of D 〈…〉 sens and Vrias the high-priest remoued the Altar of the Lord. It appeareth thereby that the Priesthood was corrupted the Altar remooued consequentlye the sacrifice ceased I trust then there is no Papist so impudent to ●ay that either the true Church ●as in the Scribes Pharises or in the time of Achas M●●asses and many other Kinges of Israel so visible and populous as they would haue it But that the Church of Christ were in that small number where so●uer dispearsed 2. Secondly the Church of Rome holdes that Ignorance is the mother of de●●tion But Christ saith Ignorance is the mother of ●rr●r saying you ●rre not knowing the Scriptures And Christ ●iddeth the people to search the Scripture Paul commaūded that word of God should dwell p 〈…〉 sly in the people whereby they might themselues and the Bereans examined the Scriptures 3. Thirdly the Church of Rome teacheth that the Scriptures 〈◊〉 to ●●read and prayers to be vsed in a strange tangue Saint Paul faith He that speaketh in a strange tongue speaketh not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but vnto God for no man heareth him howbeit in the spirit hee speaketh secret thinges Hee that speaketh in a strange language edifieth himselfe I would that you al spake strange languages but rather that you prophecied For greater is hee that prophecieth then hee that speaketh diuers tongues except he expound it that the church may receaue edification And now bretheren if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues what shall it profit you c. Morcouer things without life which giue a sound whether it bee Harpe or Pipe except they haue a distinction in the sound how shall it bee knowne what is piped or harped So likewise by the tongue except you vtter wordes which haue signification how shall it be vnderstood what is spokē for you shal speak in the ayre 4. Fourthly The Church of Rome doth teach there is a Purgatorie Christ in the Gospell sheweth onely two places namely heauen and hell Christ said to the good Theefe this day shalt thou bee with me in Paradlce Christ saith verily verily I say vnto you he that heareth my wordes and beleeueth him that sent me hath eternall life and commeth not into condemnation but passeth from death to life Saint Paul saith I co●et to be dissolued and to be with Christ Againe for we know that when this earthly Tabernacle of ours is dissolued we haue a building of God not made with handes but eternal in the heauens Againe Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence foorth they rest from their labours and their workes followe them And Saint Peter telleth the Sa●●tes and Children of God and assureth them of it That the end of their fayth is the Saluation of their soules 5. Fiftly The Church of Ro●e teacheth that since the fall of Adam man hath free-will whereas God saith After that time that the imaginations of mens heartes are onely euill e●er●e day Christ saith No man c●n come vnto me except the Father draw him Againe Conuert thou me and I shall be co●●erted Also There is not one that dooth good 〈◊〉 not one Againe without faith it is impossible to please God And againe whatsoeuer is not of faith is sinne Also except men be ingrafted into him they can bring foorth no fruites c. 6. Sixtly the Church of Rome deliuereth the Sacrament 〈◊〉 in one kind namely bread Christ saith Drink ye all of this Cup. Paul saith Let a man examine himselfe and so let him ●ate of this bread and drinke of this Cup. 7. Seauenthly The Church of Rome holdeth Transubstantiation in the Sacrament and this they would seeme to ground vpon these wordes This is my bodie which they wil haue to be expounded liberally But why then doe they not expound the wordes of Christ literally also concerning the cupp For the Text saith in the 27. and 28. verses that he tooke the Cup and said this is my blood I am sure they wil not say that the Cup was the blood of Christ as the wordes bee but they will graunt a signe in those wordes namely that by the Cup is meant the wine in it If then they will admitte a figure in this why may there not be a figure in the other namely this is my body should be vnderstood thus This bread is a figure of my body which was broken for you circumcision was called the Lordes couenant when indeed it was not the couenant So likewise the Pascall Lamb is called the Passouer when indeed it was but a signe of the Passouer Christ saith Doe this in remembrance of mee And Saint Paul saith plainelye and expresly that the communicants doe eate bread and therefore it remaineth breade after the wordes of consecration For if it were transubstantiated into the bodye of Christ then were there no Breade to eate but the bodye of Christ is the thing that should be eaten But none doe eate the verye bodye of Christ For if euerie Communicant did eate the verie bodie of Christ nturally c●rnally really as they ●●ossely suppo●● Christ should haue a number of bodies ●esides if C 〈…〉 gaue his body to be eaten really by his Disciples at the tim● of the institution of this Sacrament what was it that did hang vpon the Crosse on the morrow● moreuer it is said as touching the bodie of Christ. The heanens mus● contai●● 〈◊〉 to the end of the world Eightly The Church of Rom● hol●●●● the Pope h●th ●oritie to depose King●● and Pri 〈…〉 s.

Aristotle to finde a man which in prosperitie is not proud disdainful arrogāt such are many whome strength whome ritches whome Clyents whom authoritie whome fauour hath exalted for if dignitie and honour which seldome make men better bee oftentimes lincked to this diuelish behauiour what can be looked for else but many prodigious monsters hurtful to men execrable before God according to that Asperius misero nilest dum surgit in altum Yet howe sodenlye they haue consumed and come to fearefull ends there need not be called to minde any long fore-passed remembrance to testifie Many shall this yere haue their eyes so dazeled as they shall not knowe themselues many so pust with pryde as striuing beyond their compasse they shall crye peccaui in the Poultrye for their borrowed brauerie Manye shall bee troubled with that fault which Tully calles Defectum naturae cowardice or weakenes of spirrit that their finger shall no sooner ake but they must straite to the Physition so inrich him impouerish themselues and yet neuer be without diseases This yeare shall be Cares and griefe of minde And alteration of weather some where It shall be hard iudging for men that are blinde As by wandring the wrong way may appeare Of all things true friendship shall be most deare Mercury and Saturne in combust declare That Pick-thankes this yeare shall vtter much ware Great trouble by the heauens impressions Great mischiefe doone by wicked people Some worthy death by their owne confessions Take good heede of Guato and his Disciple Rents shall be raised double and triple Land lordes this yeare some good some bad Young women and Widdowes both wise and mad The poore shall be vext with such paine i' th purse As he that lackes money may also lacke meate The Vsurer shall haue the beggers curse Ambition shall striue for honours seate Mault shall cause many to sell their wheate The Cuckowe in Summer shall temper his throate To pipe mine Hostesse a merrie note Diuers shall be troubled with a defect and imperfection that proceedes from the corruption of nature namelye with Curiositie or a diligent inquisition of other mens faults and an extreame negligence in their owne Moale-hilles in other men shall seeme mountaines and craggye Rocks in themselues smooth rushes Other mens faultes shall bee before their eyes but their owne behinde their backes The reason why men iudge more quickly other mens follies then their own partly proceedes from Selfe-loue which blindeth them in their owne actions partly because they see other mens defects directly and their owne by a certaine reflexion For as no man knoweth his owne face because he neuer see it but by reflexion from a glasse and other mens countenances hee conceaueth moste perfectly because he viewes them dyrectly in themselues So by a certaine circle we winde about our selues whereas by a right liue wee passe into the corners of other mens soules at least by rash iudgements and sinister suspitions Galen to this purpose relateth Aesop who said euery man had a wallet hang'd vpon his shoulders the one halfe vpon our brest the other halfe vpon our backes the former was full of other mens faults which we continually beheld the part behinde loaden with our owne offences which wee neuer regarded Some shall haue too much familiaritie with scoffing gibing the which proceedes from pride and enuie and is hardly continued without dissention for men are not at all times apt to receiue iestes Many that in conuersing are for a time able to discourse wel shal after that time their oyle is spent thrust out all they haue on a sodaine and after become verie barren Such are they that at a Table wil haue all talke when others in place shall be silent that are better able then themselues to vse effectual speech in any matter propounded But these men are commonly neither witty nor humble for wittie men are seldome drawne drie in their conceipts and humble men will distill their knowledge according to their talents not aboue their reach Some shall haue such nimblenes in their choppes as they shall deuoure more at a meale then they are able to pay for in a month Some such a buzzing in their brayne as they shall not admitte good counsaile or admonition but shall esteeme better of their own vnstayed and headstrong resolution then the graue aduice of Time-bought experience To such is assigned a whip of nettles to scourge their Sic volo with Noli poenitentiam tanti emere If that will not serue the turne A pound of Hempe three Standers and three flattes Are very fit to make such mates new hattes Some shall be stopt in their heartes with such an Aconiton of obediencie as they shall bee vtterly obstinate to receiue the Antidote of grace and so be giuen ouer to a reprobate sence that they shal perseuet in vanitie without any touch or feeling of their follie Such without mature Repentance amendment shal neuer attaine that caelestiall land nor inioy that heauenly repast which Nemo nouit nisi qui accipit Many that are wicked and vnlearned impudent in face and egregious Parasites in behauiour shall be exalted to glorie when men famous as well for learning as religion shall be eyther condemned or of Sycophantes defaced or for some small occasion vnworthily disgraded As hapned to Beliserius who lost his eyes by Iustinian Darknes shall not abide the light nor ignorāce through her Impudency refraine to set herselfe against learning and knowledge For as Quintilian doth witnesse Quo quisque minus valet hoc se magis attollere et dilatare conatur The least of power the more vaineglorious And againe Quo minus sapuit minus habēt pudoris The more foole the more impudent Some shall be blinde in their owne and politique in other mens matters some loue a bowling-alley better then a Sermon and suspect their wiues at home because themselues play false abroad Amongst all other euills by my speculation knowledge of this blacke there shall bee none more ri●e then the Mumpsimus which shall so swell some womens lippes as they shall haue a longing desire to kisse others besides their Husbands Many shall haue their cheekes so monstrously swolne as although they be tempted with large fees yet they shall not haue power to speak in a iust cause This yeare shall breede diuers Monsters in our Nation whereof some shall haue such long tongues as they can keepe no counsell But whatsoeuer they heare they shall presently blab foorth often times make a matter worse in telling Some others shall haue such lightnesse in their braines that albeit they know little yet they shall meddle much and thrust themselues so farre into others affayres that for lacke oflooking into their owne they shall eyther daunce a Beggers Galliard or feele the price of such follies as follow Hadiwistes There shal be also such various wonders such strange inundations such miraculous comotions as such as want
