holie Gospell witheth increase in Christ our Lord and much honour by him multiplyed ALthough Right Honorable it seeme much better to heare yea euen to the best learned rather thē to write of suche argument as by rugged enemies hardly can bee wel digested whose sharpened toongs inable to further hurte as burning coales doe seeke to scorch the godly yet considering that in so honorable a place I had pronounced the Sermon following and by so manye earnest and godlye persons eftsoones desired to penne the same I rather consented at last to abide a presente brunt sheltered vnder mightie protection and to discouer in part the Popish aduersarie for the benefit of many then cowardly for feare of some Romish storme to thrust so bright a cādle vnder a darkening bushell And bethinking as conueniency asketh on whō to craue a second shield for this my so spent time your Honour first came vnto minde to whose goodnes I am not smally bounde for that benefite which earst by your honourable meanes I did attaine In regarde whereof though farre vnable to render satisfaction or approching measure thervnto I rest not debarred of former purpose to present such short pay in parte of aunswere to further debt allured the rather by the well knowne godlinesse in your lowly brest which can and doe content your selfe many times with a Mite from a well minded Widowe though muche store of treasure cannot ballaunce your desert My will is much but my wealth is small yet sometimes small pearles for their purenes are accoūted worth some greater stones of more glorious shewe A twofolde suite to your Honour I haue for this to say that your wisedome woulde not onely accompanye your good liking of this my bold enterprise but also to vouchsafe your godlye ayde against such Romish Riots as may percase conspire by consulte against this simple truth For though their shows be not all vnseem lie yet their deedes do approue those of them which that way be absolute to bee in this most horrible murther and sacrylege by such Sauage Treason more then Resolute And therefore ought to bee censured with Esay the Prophets sentence Esay 26.10 Shewe mercie to the wicked yet he will not

yet heere is comfort Hatred maye bee coueredly deceite but the Malice thereof shall bee discouered in the congregation No better witnes can be of Gods truth for this amongst so many honourable Co●ncellors then your Honor as to whom for the discouerie of the present dissembling hate in the Catholike Romaines bent against the sacred state and person of the Lordes annointed our Soueraigne Elizabeth the Lorde from aboue hath allotted you the height of such honour and the paine of this Pleasure to sound the depth by seasonable search surely to finde out aswell the chiefe of the deepest
