A08197	The oration and sermon made at Rome by commaundement of the foure cardinalles, and the Dominican inquisitour, vpon paine of death. By Iohn Nichols, latelie the Popes scholler. Which sermon and oration was presented before the Pope and his cardinalles in his Consistorie, the xxvij. day of Maie. 1578. and remaineth there registred. Now by him brought into the English tongue, for the great comfort and commoditie of all faithfull Christians. Heerin also is aunswered an infamous libell, maliciouslie written and cast abroad, against the saide Iohn Nichols, with a sufficient discharge of himselfe from all the Papists lying reports, and his owne life both largelie and amplie discouered.	Nicholls, John, 1555-1584?	1581 (1581)	STC 18535; ESTC S105660	86,257	238

passing ouer the water into the Weste partes of Englande I became a Minister Which is as true as thou art a true subiect to the Quéenes Maiestie which is nothing so for thou art an enimie to her Maiestie and to her procéedinges It is well knowne that none of my fréendes are Papistes or that they should bring me vp in Papistrie It is not doubtfull to a hundred and not so fewe that before I went to the West countries I studied at Oxenford remained in White Hall otherwise called Iesus Colledge one yéere and from thence I wēt to Brazen-nose Colledge from the which Colledge I departed came to my fréends and there in myne owne Countrey I taught a certayne Gentlemans chyldren for the space of one yéere a halfe and afterwardes I was made a Minister and so passed ouer the waters and serued a Cure which is named Withiecombe vnder one Maister Iones Vicar of Tauntone and from that place I went to Whitestauntone and there continewed vntyll the tyme I passed ouer the Seas And where as thou writest That by learning three or foure of Maister Northbrookes sermons without booke I got mee some credite for preaching With Maister Northbrooke I neuer had conference neyther receyued any Sermon that euer he or any other made Neyther were my wordes such at any time that the people tooke me for a young Tobias and a second Ionas Neyther spake I at any time that by meanes of simmony I got me two Benefices Your Religion consisteth on lyes and you followe that Religion whereof the Deuill is Author the father of all lyes You haue Letters Patents and you haue the Popes dispensation to doo with an Hereticke for this name you attribute to euery Christian what your lyst and what your pleasure is to discredite him if you may or to hurt him if it lyeth in your power or to subuert and ouerthrow the trueth of the sacred Gospell you wyll not cease I know what you be I haue liued amōgst you you can not further one good word to him that meaneth vprightly speaketh truely Call to remembrance haue you not vsed the lyke rayling spéech and the lyke slaunders against a godlie and learned defendour of Christ his trueth Iohn Iuell Bishop of Salisbury you were not ashamed so impudent you are to say that béeing mad he preached at Salisburie and was commaunded to come downe from the Pulpit for that he rayled on the people Moreouer that he wrote against his conscience and dyed a Papist that his man had told him that he cited a wrong place of the Doctours notwithstāding he lightly setting by his words would néedes cite a thing which was not expressed in the Doctours What they speake of others with silence I passe ouer and how falsely they accuse them all the world may iudge reade theyr bookes against the lyues of faithfull and learned Ministers of God his holy word I am not gréeued verie much for that they haue vniustly reported of me I arme my self with patience I know their canckred stomacks is ready to doo me what displeasure they may they are not able to prooue the least iote of theyr Lybell How can they prooue that I haue had two Wiues héere be some in London and not fewe in number that lyued in that Towne where I lyued and was borne And besides that knewe me wheresoeuer I dwelt in England But neyther they nor any other knew that euer I was maried if they can prooue that I was maried once I wyll be theyr bond man as long as I liue If they can prooue that I had two Wiues I seeke but the extremitie of the lawe yea requyre death it selfe I wyll tell them the places where my chéefest abode was in Wales or England In the common Schooles that were in that Sheere where I was borne I was brought vp vntyll I was of the age of sixtéene yéeres and at that age I went to Oxenford and from thence I returned backe againe to my Countrey and abode at a place called Dunreuen and from thence I went to Summerset and stayed at Withiecombe from the which place I departed and came to Whitstantone and from thence I departed and came to London tooke shipping and arriued at Antwerpe where part of your Company abydeth I lodged at an Inne not farre from the gate that goeth to Macklin In lying he procéedeth farther He sayth that I became a Souldiour against the King and vttered to the Prince of Orainge part what possiblie I could deuise or what I heard in England against the King and attempted many most malicious thinges that waye And that I reported not so of my selfe mine Hostesse who is an Englishe woman may remember that there was a Scholer at her house but not a Souldiour such a one that gaue her Daughter a thymble in siluer which I found in a Church there I stayde not aboue fiue or six dayes but dyrectly tooke my voyage to Dowaie And whereas you say That I found releefe at Cambraie in deed of certayne Flemmish Prelates I receiued some bountifulnesse but of English men found no reléefe for scarse they were able to reléeue them selues so lytle estéemed they were of Citizens who for the greater part were Christians And for that you falsely say That I fell into the hands of the Kinges side That is as true as you saye that you pray for the Quéene of England where as you pray rather for the Quéene of Scottes as héereafter it shall appeare And where as you saye that I reported at Rheimes That I was driuen out of Englande for my conscience sake Who would thinke that I reported thus where as before some of the Scholers I feared not to pronounce our Quéene supreame head of England and béeing examined of what Religion I was I aunswered a Protestant for speaking the which wordes I was banished the Towne And Doctor Allen with the whole Seminarie were commaunded to appéere before the Consuls and Captaines of the Towne and were like to be banished out of the Towne onely for that they thought that the English men had succoured me beeing a Christian As for reléefe I found not as much as a farthing except a dinner amongst certaine English Préestes who kept such a rayling against my Lord Bacon who is dead and whome they sayd should frit in hell and against Sir Frauncis Walsingham and against my Lord Burley and against diuers others whome they sayd God would condempne and iudge to euerlasting paine This dinner dyd me but lyttle good for they were in a pelting chafe against the wise and faithfull beleeuers of Christ his Gospell they were angrie also with me for that I had sworne by the Masse and had spoken a worde or two in defence of Christian Religion From this Cittie I went to Granoble and there stayde with an Archbishop thrée monthes and from him I trauelled to Italie and dwelt with the Bishoppe of Vigeuena whose name is Alexander
