In the fift part they make their humble sute vnto your Grace that they may obtaine freedom to vse the Romish religion freely without molestatioÌ„ though not openly yet secretly alledging two reasons the first is that because they be restrained of that liberty your kingdomes is abhorred of all kingdomes that professe the Romish Religion The second reason is that it would bee a ioyfull thing to all the said Kingdomes to graunt them their said sutes And to the end to induce your Grace to graunt their requests they alledge two arguments The first is that the now French King yeelding to the Papists to secure the vse of the Romish religion they honored him with these venerable titles Pater patriae et pacis restitutor If it be true that he now deserueth these honorable titles why then since that time hath not that honorable King been freed from the dangerous conspiracie of the Papists who haue diuers times since sought to murder him If it please your renowmed Maiesty to peruse the trecheries of the Papists you shall find that they haue greater murdering harts then cursed Caine who murdered his own brother For to omitte the many and continuall treasons and conspiracies of the Papists against our disceased Queene did not a gracelesse Monke poison King Iohn did not a cursed Friar of France murder with a poysoned Pen-knife the last diseased French King In vita Pii quintÃ did not the Bishops Monkes Friars Iesuites of Spaine cause the kings eldest sonne of Spaine to be murdered in letting him blood did not the Papists of France vrge the King of France to coÌ„mit a tragicall Butcherly massacre at Paris in poysoning the Queene of Nauarre and in a brutish butcherly order to murder the most part of the peerlesse Nobilitie in France their wiues and children with a great number of the common people in diuerse parts of his realme So that in one yeare by one meanes and others they did massacre a hundred thousand as by their owne histories it doth appeare But why should I stay vpon recitall of particularities doth not the bloudy InquisitioÌ„ at this day testifie that this tyrannie is still continued in Spaine in Rome and amongst other their confederates Beholde the fruites of the professors of the Romish Religion The second argument is drawne from the graue and wise counsell of Salomons Counsellors vnto Roboham si loquaris eis bona verba c. This Text is as rightly alledged as the deuill alledged the Scripture vnto our Sauiour Iesus Christ when he tempted him for there was no request made vn to Roboham as concerning religion but onely for a mitigation of greeuous exactions And the Counsell of Salomons counsellors in that behalfe was both wise right and good But in causes of religion O most renowmed King let the sacred Scriptures be your direction and preferre them before and aboue all worldly policies royalties dignities and honours whatsoeuer for therein consisteth your true honor your true wisedome your true authoritie and royall dignitie Moses teacheth from the mouth of God Deutero the 15. chapter 6. verse that if thy brother the sonne of thy mother or thy owne sonne or the daughter of thy wife that lyeth in thy bosome or thy friend that is as thy soule shall intise thee secretly saying Let vs goe serue other gods thou shalt not consent to him nor heare him neither shall thy eye pittie him nor shew mercie nor keepe him secret but thou shalt kill him thy hand shall be first vpon him to put him to death And our Sauiour Iesus Christ hath assured vs that if we confesse him before men he will confesse vs before his heauenly Father And if we denie him before men he will denie vs before his heauenly father And whosoeuer loueth Father or Mother brother or sister wife or children or any worldly honour riches dignitie or regalitie more then him is not worthy of him for we cannot serue two Maisters for we shall eyther loue the one and hate the other or els we shall hate the one and loue the other And to this effect serueth the perswasion of Eliha vnto the Israelites If God be God serue him c. Therefore let the feare of God and his sacred word be your direction Let it be a Lanthorne to your feete and a light vnto your pathes that God may bee with you and blesse you in all your actions And then as the Apostle saith If God bee on your side who can be against you But if God be against you who can bee with you For most gracious King if all the Kings and Potentates in the world did loue fauour and honour you what is it to the purpose if God be against you And therefore the Lord blesse you with his grace and holy spirite that no wordly thing may seperate you from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesu our Lord Amen 6. In the sixt part they imploy their wittes to perswade your most gracious Maiesty that their religion is venerable for antiquity constant for continuance irreprehensible for doctrine inducing to all vertue and piety maintained by the first Christian Emperours sealed with the bloud of millions of Martyrs c. We doe not a little maruell that they be not ashamed to auouch so great vntruthes But it is truely said amisso pudore omnis virtus ruit for if their ascertions were true why hath one Pope caused the dead corpes of his predecessor to be digged out of his graue and to be dismembred and haue condemned him for an heretique and all his workes for heresie And the next successor hath ratified the first dismembred Pope to be good and Catholique and all his workes Catholique wee must needs be here in a Labyrinth not knowing how to iudge which is the Catholique Pope the condemnor or the condemned haue not some Popes beene condemned and depriued by generall
