whiche alwayes enforced hym selfe to kepe his hyghnesse and all the reste of his subiectes in seruitude errour and idolatrie God hathe made him as al his noble progenitours of right ought to haue ben a full kyng ▪ that is a ruler and natruled in his owne kyngedome as other were God hath deliuered his highnes from the bondage of the byshoppe of Rome his subiectes from errors his realme from the foule sinne of idolatry Ignorāce a childe that the byshop of Rome lefte here with his monkes and friers to be fostred made strōge is takynge her leaue wolde god her passeport were made and she sente frome whens she came But she hath ben so cherished so made of in this realme that lothe she is to departe She hath many frendes and trustethe by the helpe of them to be made denyzen and soo to chaunge her apparel and to do moche more hurt in parishe churches thā euer she dyd in cloisters But I truste as god hath shewed what hurte commeth of her and hers so he wyll prouide a way to see that she and hers haue lesse to do The people begynne to know what they that be curates oughte to preache and what they arboūd to folowe and yet they do but begynne Wolde god some were appoynted to take them forthe newe lessons They haue longe sithens begon to knowe their duetie toward god their obedience to their prince the loue they ow vnto their neighbours and yet they be styll atte the begynninge For yf they were fully taught but in these .iii. poyntes I dare promyse my lyfe to lye vppon it the fruites of this knowledge shuld be such as wold enforce all christian princis to folowe the steppes of oure noble prince I remember howe kynge Iosaphat sente many of his nobles with prechers that is trewe setters oute of the worde of god throughe all Iurie and howe all the worlde feared his power after that god was preched in his king dome I truste as our moste prudente kynge ceasseth nat to sende his holsome and godly proclamations abrode that so one day men shall be sent after them to se what effecte they take what successe cōmeth of them where they worke where they be ydle where they haue fre passage and where they be stopped But leauyng newe occasions whiche leade me to newe purposes I wol returne and folowe that I toke in hande This laste sedition besyde many other commodities that it wrought in this realme hathe made the people and in especial those where it reigned moste very glad to here very desyrefull to make amendes to God and their Prince for that they offended bothe afore I haue herde dyuers men say that three or foure preachers may doo more good in the northe coūtray in two or thre monethes than hath bene done in these southe parties these two or thre yeres only bicause the people be so redy to take what so euer the preacher shall offer vnto theym soo that if the people be naught styll the faute is no more theirs for they wold fain be good They se god louith no rebellions no disobedience if god had done nothynge for the kynge sythens that tyme was not that one benefyte inoughe to bynde his grace and all theym that loue this his realme euermore to thynke vpon goddis goodnes alwayes to giue hym thākes and yet styl to thinke thankes vngyuen All bokes can shewe no suche sedition so quieted no suche rage soo peasibly asswaged and yet at the fyrste as al men lyked the ende soo was there an other thyng that men whiche fauour the peace and quietnes of our countrey thought somewhat amysse Menne were wonderfull gladde that harneys was put of and weapons layde downe but they were sorie that the deceyuers of the simple pore subiectis had after their pestilent pilgremages pardon It is ofte to be remembred howe god prouided both for the sorte deceyued and also howe vpon newe treason committed he wolde the ranke capitaynes to testifie vpō the gallowes that traitours muste come to shamefulle deathe And yet is there more euen concernynge the same matter to be marked where as it plesed the kyng of his clemency and tender loue that his grace beareth to the lyfe of his subiectes to satisfye the rigor of the lawes with a few of their dethes god hath this last sommer by strange kinde of sycknes welle declared vnto the commons of the northe that he was nat contented so fewe were punished where so many offēded And as the sicknes plagued them sore so I thynke god pycked a greate sorte in other countreys suche as he knew had hartes euyl inough thoughe their dedes were vnknowen It is not to be left vnspokē that a generall plague reignyng in al the north and in many other parties of the realme London a citie for the more parte yerely visited with great deathe hadde in maner no syckenesse in it Lette other menne laye the cause where they thinke beste I do surely suppose that as god punyshed them for their treasons soo he shewed vnto the Lōdoners that the way to haue hym mercyfull and good to theym is that that they are in though not setled yet a great part of theym well entred All be it we be forgetfull and haue styll nede of some to putte vs in mynde of goddis goodnesse toward vs yet I woll not nowe speke of the tresure whiche he gaue this realme what ioye and comforte he sent to all trewe englysshe men whan he sent vnto our soueraigne lord his dere and noble sonne oure deere and noble prince Edward I trust it nedith not I trust there be none of vs either so blynde that we see not howe moch Englande oweth vnto god for his byrth for his preseruatiō for such his towardnes as was neuer sene in chylde by al mens assent the lyke either so vngrate but he herynge of this noble princis growyng and waxing to a kynge to the sceptre of this his right inheritance woll with al his harte desyre god both to kepe hym longe frome the scepter and longer in it than euer was his father before hym I say I wyl nat speake of his grace neither of the goodnes of god powred vpon vs and all ours by his byrthe No I woll make as foule a chaunge as euer ye sawe or herde of I wolle go from hym whome the loue to god and his father reserued we ought to loue aboue all thynges and intreate of theym whome yf they were alyue all Englyshmen ought aboue al creatures to hate And yet I wyl not so gladly talke of theym as of the
