Grosses English Obseruations IF the slauery of Women and Iealousie of Husbands in Italy bee so common as Trauellers tell and the violent beating of Wiues so ordinary as this Particle implies then certainly our English Women may iustly thanke God for that comfortable freedome that they enioy which is such as made Erasmus and other strangers comming hither say That no Women in the World liued so faire liues as ours in England And our Catholike Women may heere see how little they are beholding to the Pope who cares so little for them more then for seruing the filthy lust of him and his lustfull law-lesse Clergie that all the base Iealousies vnworthy vsage and cruell blowes of their imperious Husbands moue not him at all nor holds hee it worthy so much as a poore Purse-punishment vnlesse it cause the death of the Child Haue not our Catholike Dames great cause to runne after Romish Religion as they do If they loue it so well Oh that they would euen runne to Rome and enioy it there where they may haue the Popes dayly blessing to make amends if their Husbands should pay them with dayly and sometimes deadly blowes It is also fit for the Readers obseruation what little account is made in Rome of killing Infants and his Shauelings and vnholy Cloyster-brethren shew themselues children not vnlike their Father amongst whom and their carnall Sisters the Nunnes their Chronicles and all Trauellers and the Visitations of their Abbeyes doe all declare how wickedly hundreds and thousands of Infants doe perish amongst them some newly borne and baptized in their blood and either cast into Ponds or buried in their Gardens Celles Cellers Vaults hollow Walles and sometimes in baser places some slaine and strangled in the Birth many destroyed and neuer suffered to see the light of this Life and those bee held of tender and honest hearts among them who feare to destroy these harmelesse Babes and doe therefore saue them sending them out to be nursed and liue And yet these are the men that condemne holy Marriage as vncleane and vnholy nay as a foule sinfull and punishable fault aboue Whoredome and all Fornication CHAP. XIII VVhoredome or keeping of Concubines The Romish Text. An Absolution for a Priest or Clergie-man that keepes a Concubine as also his Dispensation to saue him from being Irregular which by the generall and Prouinciall Constitutions hee incurres all this together is rated at the price of 7. Grosses And if a Layman will keep a Concubine his Absolution also will cost him the same price euen 7. Grosses English Obseruations SEe the horrible impudencie of this shamelesse Generation they confesse that euen their owne both Generall and Prouinciall Councels doe condemne the keeping of Concubines vnder paine of Irregularity and yet the Pope is not ashamed against them all to set to sale this filthy sinne and to put down so base a price as seauen Grosses But speak you monstrous Whore-maintayners Is not the keeping of Concubines or Whores for what is shee better then a Whore whom a man keeps as a wife and is no wife Is it not I say as well against the expresse Law of God and Gospell of Christ as against Canons of Councels and Constitutions of the Church If it be as euery Child knowes it to be so why doe you then conceale it The reason is plaine enough to them that bee acquainted with your pollicies euen because it little moues you what is commanded or forbidden by God in the Law or in the Gospell But all that you care for is what is forbidden in your owne Constitutions And lest that should breed some scruple of conscience that keeping a Concubine is forbidden in your generall and prouinciall Constitutions you take a course to quench that also euen that little sparke of conscience and feare of sinne and tell the offendor that besides his Absolution from the sinne hee shall also haue a dispensation to deliuer him from the danger of Irregularity that most seuere and most iust punishment which the Canons of the former and better times inflict vpon that sinne See all good Christians marke I beseech you you potent Princes and Kings of Christendome you godly Bishops and faithfull Diuines who all in your seuerall places wish the welfare of Sion and seeke to settle true peace in the Church See to what little purpose it is to haue any generall Councell or to make any wholsome Canons and Constitutions as long as this Man of sinne is suffered to sit in the Chayre of Pestilence seeing all the good and carefull Canons the Councels haue made against that filthy and reigning sinne of whoredome in sixe and sixe hundred yeeres are all cast off cashierd and nullified for the bringing in of scuruie sixe or seuen Grosses into the Popes Coffers See what all your labours tend vnto Kings and Princes in calling learned Bishops and Diuines in managing the proceedings of Generall Nationall or Prouinciall Councels as long as hee is suffered in his exorbitant pride and insatiable couetousnesse and vnmeasurable lasciuiousnesse thus to tyrannize ouer the World And you that bee learned marke heere what good cause had Erasmus the Low-Germane Espencaeus the French-man Ferus the Dutch-man Caranza Oleaster Stella and Viues the Spaniards Sauanarola Mirandula Mantuan and other Italians to cry out vpon the Romish abominations and to call so earnestly for reformation as they did both in Pulpit and Print And because they set so easie a penaltie euen for a Lay-man also that shall keepe his Concubine it puts mee in minde of a memorable example in that kinde whereof I can make report vpon my owne certaine knowledge wherein it is manifest that this villany though hatcht at Rome yet reacht euen as farre as England Mr. William Strickland of Bointon neere Bridlington in the Eastriding of Yorkeshire whose sonne Mr. Water Strickland or else his sonne liues there at this day Lord of that Towne and diuers others in that Countrey can witnesse the same An ancient Gentleman in Yorkeshire told me himselfe neere thirty yeeres agoe that liuing at Yorke in Queene Maries time where hee was one of the Councell of State or else the Queenes Secretary to her Councell there and fearing to be questioned for not comming to the Church to Masse which hee resolued neuer to doe whatsoeuer it cost him and hearing that Cardinall Poole was come from Rome to reconcile England being Legat à latere and came furnisht with these faculties and power of giuing the Dispensations and Licences mentioned in this booke and complayned on by Espencaeus sent to his Sollicitor at London to get him a Dispensation out of the Lord Legats the Cardinals Court not to goe to Church but that hee might exercise his Deuotions at home The Sollicitor going about it found it somewhat difficult because they

Bishops to exact it of the Clergie who bee but their Brethren Thus these men do boldly shew themselues the true Successors of the Jewish Clergie for as we see heere they corporally as well as spiritually lay heauy burthens vpon others but make them most light and easie to themselues Now touching these particulars that a Priest may haue a power or a Licence to say Masses in all places for 27. Grosses is euen cheape enough and yet it had not beene so much but that they well know hee is able to bring that in againe in a weeke nay in a day and happly in halfe an houre But will some say What may it cost him to haue a Licence to preach in all places The Answer is easie There 's no such Licence at all to bee obtain'd on any conditions for preaching of Gods Word is no pillar of the Popes Kingdome but contrariwise for diuers hundreth yeeres hath beene either persecuted or prohibited or at least so limited altered and ordered that the Iesuits and some few such haue a Monopoly of it to themselues so as not one Priest of a thousand gets any Licence at all and they that doe haue their times their matter their Method and order and almost all other circumstances prescribed vnto them and they are all directed to sing this one song that howsoeuer preaching may be of some vse in Lent and now then vpon occasions yet it 's nothing so excellent in it selfe nor so profitable to the people though it be neuer so plaine and powerfull as is the hearing of a Masse though in an vnknowne tongue and if any bee so bold as to make comparison and to say otherwise as Father Lobo did once before Pope Gregory the 13. Vide Recantationem Martini 〈◊〉 he is sure to be silenced for his labour all the dayes of his life as was the foresaid Fryer As to the next point that a Bishop should pay 40. Grosses for a Licence to visit is nothing so strange to vs as that he should pay any thing at all for what 's a Bishop if he haue not power of himselfe to visit euen by his Consecration and admission to bee Bishop But this shewes that to be true we haue often heard and read euen that the Bishops in Popery are indeed and truth no better then slaues to the Pope who as at the first they haue by Romish Rules their very being from him as his Creatures and the worke of his hands so he expects that they should serue him his turns in all things to which end he will not so much as haue them to moue or stirre no not to keepe their Visitation which is their owne proper motion and in their own Orbe vntill first they haue their licence and authority from him It seemes this wicked Antichrist who dare call himselfe a Vice-God vpon earth doth labour herein to be like vnto God of whom Religion teacheth that In him we l ue and moue and haue our being Act. 17.28 But for the third Branch wherein hee giues them leaue for money to take a yeeres profit of euery vacant Benefice therein he shewes his shamefull iniustice and partiality not caring it seemes how so he may enrich himselfe and his Clergye for not to stand vpon the quantity how great a matter this must needs amount vnto that which most amazeth vs is the foulnesse of the meanes and manner by which it is gotten for to keepe a Benefice vacant for a yeere and take the profits to himselfe as it first must needs bee a piece of personall iniustice to the next Incumbent to whom of right they doe belong so can it not but be a farre fouler and more generall iniustice to make the people for his base lucre sake to want a Pastor for so long a time Is this to be a Bishop a feeder a Pastor of Soules yea a Pastor of them that are the Pastors of Soules Alas for that miserable people who are fed w th such Pastors And here we may obserue 1. good reason of that bitter word of learned Espencaeus who speaking of this Book affirmes that it will teach a man to be naught though he were not or would not be of himselfe for verily not one Bishop of ten could be so basely couetous or so presumptuously wicked of himselfe as once to dreame of taking to himselfe a yeeres profit of euery vacant Benefice in his Diocesse But lest hee should want either wickednes or wit to entertain so base a thought his spirituall Master Extra Io. 22. cap. cam ●●●●●m g●● his Lord god the Pope heere takes order to instruct him in it not onely telling him that he may haue a Licence to doe it for money but also lest he should be discouraged by the greatnesse of the price for so great a fauor he tels him aforehand it shall cost him but 50. Grosses though happly he may get by it 50000. in some one yeere Alas what a lamentable case it is to see the Christian World blinded and mis-led by such wicked rauenous Wolues vnder the name and faire title of Pastors of the Church for if this tricke and practice of the Pope and his Clergie be not an euident signe of men giuen ouer to their own lusts and slaues to filthy lucre and such as care not to sell the very soules of men to feede themselues and fill their owne purses wee appeale to the iudgement of all reasonable men yea euen of all honest Papists in the world and so we leaue them to the iudgement of the high and iust God and were it not that we hold them to be the publique enemies of God our soules would grieue to thinke of the confusion which we are sure and the surer by this one practice of theirs doth infallibly wait for them And for the next Branch that for a Bishop to exercise Episcopall Iurisdiction out of his Diocesse must cost him 30. or 40. Grosses we also say the quality of the fauor considered its cheape enough nor doe wee maruell if the Pope deale so tenderly and kindly with them whom hee holds members of his owne body But that which would trouble any honest heart is to consider how hee that pretends to bee and makes the poore Papist beleeue he is the Vicar of Christ the Father of the Church and the great Shepheard of Soules and consequently vnder God the great establisher of all good Order the keeper of all men in compasse and good order should thus in stead of Order make way to all confusion by confounding of Iurisdictions and giuing leaue for one to encroach vpon another which appeares by this that is to be done euery day at Rome for money though in all well gouerned Churches it is neuer done at all but vpon very speciall consideration and neuer at all for money But for the last that a Bishop may haue a faculty to absolue all Delinquents yea and to dispense in the case of irregularity for

Christs passion are granted 32755. yeeres of pardon And lest any should thinke this too little seeing there bee many prayers put in one it is said Pope Sixtus the fourth hath doubled this aforesaid Pardon which amounts to 65410. And of another Prayer the Booke saith that Pope Iohn at the request of the Queene of England granted to all them that deuoutly say this Prayer before the Image of our Lord crucified as many dayes of pardon as there were wounds in the body of our Lord in the time of his bitter Passion which were 5465. And in another place thus of the Aue Maria Our holy Father Pope Sixtus the fourth at the instance of Queene Elizabeth wife to Henry the 7. granted out of the spirituall treasure of holy Church that who so shall say at the 3. tollings of the Aue-Bell 3. Aue Maria's that is at sixe a clocke in the morning three and at noone three and at sixe a clocke at night three shall haue for euery Aue 860. dayes of pardon which amounts in one day to about 8000. daies and in a yeere to diuers hundreths of thousands of yeeres And the Booke saith That this grant of the Popes was strengthened and augmented by the two Metropolitans of England and nine Bishops with them At which we maruell not for certainly our Bishops might as well confirme it as he grant it and to as good purpose adde more as he gaue so much And of another Prayer the Booke saith This Prayer ye shall say in the worship of all the blessed members of Christ deuoutly and yee shall haue 300. daies of pardon for euery Salue Now there be 13. Salue's in that Prayer And of another Prayer containing 5. short petitions the Booke saith These 5. Petitions and Prayers made Saint Gregory and hath granted vnto all them that deuoutly say these 5. Prayers with 5. Pater nosters 5. Aue Maria's and a Credo 500. yeeres of pardon And of another Prayer the same Booke saith This Prayer is made by our holy Father Pope Iohn the 22. and hee hath granted to all them that deuoutly say it beholding the glorious visage of our Lord 10000. dayes of pardon and they that cannot say this Prayer for it is in Latine let them say 5. Pater nosters 5. Aue's and 5. Credo's And of another short Prayer little longer then an Aue Thus Alexander the 6. Pope of Rome hath granted to all them that say this Prayer deuoutly in the worship of Saint Anna and our Lady her Sonne Jesus 10000. yeeres of pardon for deadly sinnes and 20. for veniall totiens quotiens And of another Prayer to bee said as one goes thorow a Church-yard the same Booke saith Iohannes Papa 12. concessit omnibus dicentibus orationem sequentem transeundo per Cemilerium to● antes Indulgentiarum quot fuerunt ibi corpora inhumata à constitutione ipsius Cemiterij Pope Iohn the 12. granted to all that shall say the Prayer following as they passe by any Churchyard as many yeeres of Indulgences as there haue beene bodies there buried since the Consecration of the said Churchyard And no matter though this Iohn the 12. was a most wicked monstrous man as all Stories testifie for no doubt he had for all that as good power to grant these Indulgences as any other of his fellowes And to draw to an end of these endlesse Indulgences take one more good Reader which is an endlesse one indeed namely one that holds hundreds and thousands of yeeres nothing but giues a whole million at once for my part I should not hold my selfe worthy of beliefe in so transcendent a relation if the Booke it selfe and the very words were not extant to all the worlds view for I am sure the Booke was once as common amongst the Papists as is now the office of our Lady and if their later policies haue supprest it it will but redound the more to their shame for it is yet faire and perfect to be seene Ibid. fol. 73. Sacellum sanctae Crucis septem Romanorum The very words are these These 3. Prayers bee written in the Chappell of the holy Crosse in Rome otherwise called the Chappell of the holy Crosse of the 7. Romanes who that deuoutly say them they shall obtaine X.C.M. yeeres of pardon for deadly sinnes Marke good Reader ten hundred thousand yeeres granted by our holy Father John 22. Pope of Rome See you Romish Children the bounty of your great Father you that beleeue this wee maruell not that many goe so fast but that any of you can be kept from going to Rome to enioy the embracements of so bountifull and tender a Father that hath his hundreds and thousand nay a million of yeers ready at hand for them that follow him and whose Exchequer is not like other Kings sometime open and sometime shut sometime full and sometime empty but euer open and neuer empty being Treasurer of such a treasure as is neuer spent Neither stayes his bounty heere but because hee knowes that some are not onely vnlettred and cannot read but dull of vnderstanding and vnfit to learne therefore out of his tender compassion to his Children he hath deuised meanes to helpe their infirmities and supply their defects to which end hee hath deuised and appointed certaine holy Pictures to the very sight and contemplation wherof he hath granted as much grace as to the saying of the forenamed Prayer As namely to one Picture of the Crucifixe in that Booke and to the beholding of the same are annexed no fewer then many thousand yeeres of Pardon the words themselues are these Who that deuoutly beholdeth this Armes of the Lord Iesu Christ Ibid. fol. 75. shall obtaine sixe thousand yeeres of pardon of our holy Father Saint Peters first Pope of Rome and of 30. other Popes of the Church of Rome successors after him And our holy Father Pope John the 22. hath granted vnto all them very contrite and truly confessed that say these deuout Prayers following in commemoration of the bitter Passion of our Lord Iesus Christ three thousand yeeres of pardon for deadly sinnes and other three thousand for veniall sinnes and say first a Pater noster and Aue Maria. Surely heere is an Indulgence cheape enough 6000. yeeres only beholding deuoutly the Picture of a Crucifixe Verily all the Hereticks and Huguenots in the world cannot bragge of such bounties in their Churches Nor are these Jndulgences onely giuen which as they say free them onely from Penance inioyned but they haue others which free them also from their sins and purchase them pardon and remission of them For example the same Booke tels vs that to the saying of 3. Prayers there specified the Pope granted remission of all sinne the words are these Fol. 70. Our holy Father Pope Jnnocentius the 3. hath granted to all them that say these 3. Prayers following deuoutly remission of all their sinnes confessed and contrite Fol. 69. And of another Prayer the
