namque fides affectus eorum quorum est diuersa fides I hasten to an ende with you you Catholiques what is there now then I pray you that may further be thought of or deuised for the pacification of your malcontented stomackes Would you wish that her Maiestie inasmuche as now perhappes you are ashamed to require of her in flatte termes to abandon her owne profession for thr aduauncement of yours and forasmuch also as you are or maie bee stopped to saie there is sauetie in permitting two contrary Religions within this her lande would you now wish I saie that her highnes contenting herself with her owne particuler choyse in Religion and that for her owne gratious person onely should establish a contrary Religion wholy all-only amongst her Subiects Most deuilish would that be to be wisshed but most gracelesse to be thought that euer her Maiestie would be so vnnaturally enclined towards her so deere and louing people Hath her most gratious Maiesty so manie yeres in the highest care of her Subiects sauety and that chiefly in the regarde of their Soules health exposed herself to perilles beyond the compasse and proportion of mannes accompt and hath she for the generall mainteyning of the Gospell of Christ amongst al her whole people throughout her dominions from yere to yere nay almost from moneth to moneth endured the succession of so many so horrible so determined so imminent attempts of Treason against her royall persone her Crowne her life and would she now think you be so satisfied with the loue of her Subiects or rather with louing her Subiects whome her highnes séeith most insatiable in the loue of her and of her life and raigne that now louing or rather seeming to loue her self only shee should so highly neglect in this principall degree of loue and care the sauety of the Soules of her so louing and true harted people The lord forbidde there should be any so wicked as in this sort to think of her Maiestie But I wil abruptly turne my selfe from you you irreligious of the land for you haue tourned your selues from the Lord and haue lifted vp your Hornes againste his annoynted your Prince and Soueraigne Not I therefore but the Lorde shall further expostulate with you the cause of your Ingratitude Of which sort of vnnaturall english I hope there is none here present yet this spech to them as present is not vnnecessarie that if any light in company of any such they may the better arme them selues in thus challenging and reprouing them And now to you my louing brethren who reioyce to see y e daies euen this present daye of her Maiesties prosperity and Peace The chiefe exhortation I haue to commend vnto you is the same of the Apostle Reioyce in the Lord and againe I saye reioyce Let your softnes be knowne vnto all men The Lord is euen at hand be carefull for nothing but in all prayers and supplications let your petitions be manifest vnto god with giuing of thanks The time is spent and it is more then time I had ended And yet if I durst farther presume of your Honourable and worshipful patience I would speake somthing more that should not altogether be vnprofitable for your hearing and sith your coūtenances do promise me attention I wil go to it as briefly as I can For as much as it standeth cleere vnto the view of the whole worlde that this long continued peace of ours with all the other blessings whatsoeuer wherewith our English state gouernment hath for so many yeres now passed bin established as I might say amply enriched hath had none other existencie but in the great power and hand of our God openly manifesting it selfe in the Ministery of her Maiestie and of her prudent and most faithfull Counsailers How great an indignity therefore would it be vnto vs the Subiectes of this Lande if that whereas her Maiestie with her most honourable priuie Counsaile euen from the beginning of her raigne to this day hath gouerned vs by none other rule then by the rule of Gods most holy word nor by any other lawe then by the lawe of this lande nor by any other order or manner of administration then as maie best serue to sustayne and beare vp the common with the particuler and the particuler with the common in a mutuall regard and reciprocation the one to the other We againe for our partes should bee so farre from a dutifull acknowledgment hereof as that in stead of our readines and zeale towards her Maiestie and those her most honorable Counsaylours wee should yeeld them murmuring and repining and in steade of our thanckfulnes wee shoulde yeeld them hard speaking misconceiuing and which worse is bitter detraction O my brethren howe hard a case would this be And least any man being misled eyther by the error of his owne iudgement or by the secrete insinuation of the malicious malecontented in these troblesome times and yet hitherto thankes be to God more troublesome to our eares then to our eyes when as they see that by the déepe foresight of our graue and godly gouernours actions are otherwhiles to be vndertaken whether it be for repelling and resisting of knowne attempts or for the holding far of or keeping aloofe from vs the troubles abroade which otherwise woulde approche vs and that for the performance hereof some charge more then ordinary is betwixt while to be raysed They either little considering or of purpose not acknowledging how in a maner miraculous a thing it is that while the whole world as I mighte say euen the kingdomes and Countries rounde about vs to vs a worlde stand at this day garboiled and oppressed with troubles and sturres we euen we alone here in this our England as it were in a little Goshen neither feeling dint of sword nor hearing sounde of droomme nor fearing either slaughter or depilation of the oppressour sit vs still euery man in his owne home hauing freedome at the full to praise God in his Sanctuary and safety at the full to follow our affaires in the common wealth I say least any ignoraunt or seduced Subiect not so sufficiently pondering these blessinges as he ought to doe and as I would to God euery one of vs did should in the vniust discontentment of his minde eyther murmure and repine or otherwise speake euill of such as be in authority for some charge that may happen vnto him for the continuaunce heereof I would haue such a one to be taught that as he is vnable with all the Substaunce he hath to procure peace vnto himselfe if warre should come vpon him So to preuent war is not y e wroke of a Subiect it is the onely worke of a Soueraign and that by the alone deliberation of a prudent and Honourable Counsaile which may often fall out to bee with the very purchase of peace wherein as a Subiect standeth no further interested but to obey to be ready if neede
