no more danger then to England and euery vvay vvith like good vvil and hourely expectation of death Vvhich for the gaine of one soul they coumpt the greatest vantage in earth They are sent to the Heathen to tell them there is no saluation vvithout Christ they are sent to the English to tell them there is no saluation vvithout the Catholike Church Vvhether they die for the one or for the other al is one matter to them This vvorke then haue they to do and must not cease from the same for any feare of mortal man no danger of death or vvhat distresse so euer may fall vvhich they coumpt in such a case the next revvard to heauen it self and most ioyfully choose to accept it though for to do their dueties the longer they vvill not vvilfully runne vpon it Vve therfore seeing both before and novv these late daies some euen of our Countrie sent to the Indes motion vvas made to their Superiors that those of our Nation might rather be employed vpon their ovvne CouÌ„trie vvhere vnto after good deliberation they did most charitably coÌ„descend much moued by the example and profitable endeuours of the Priests of both the Colleges and other learned men at home and in banishment vvhom they knevv so vvillingly to sustaine both prisonmeÌ„ts and death for the same vvith vnspeakable alteration in fevv yeres of vvonderful numbers to the liking and embracing of the Catholike faith And to tell you al vvhen it vvas once secretly bruted among the Fathers vvhom men call Iesuites that hereafter some of the Order vvere like to be deputed in times and seasons for England it is incredible to tell but before Christ it is true hovv it vvas sued and sought for of diuers principal learned men strangers no lesse then of our ovvne vpon their knees vvith tears and affection exceding extraordinarie that they might haue the lotte either to dispute vvith the Protestants in their Vniuersities or to die for the profession and preaching of their faith in so noble a Countrie vvhich they pitied to see deceiued vvith so improbable and barbarous heresie Yea diuers learned men strangers neither Iesuites nor Priests seing also at the same time the Scholers of the English Colleges giue their promis and profession so promptly and zelously to suffer vvhatsoeuer for their poore Countries and parents saluation and for the same to be made Priests vvith out expectation of vvordly prefermeÌ„t or honour giuen heretofore and novv alvvaies due to that order in al good Commonvveales but vvith certaine knovvledge of hatred disgrace rebuke and perhaps death thereby herevpon I say the said strangers vvere much inflamed to hazard their person in the same spiritual adueÌ„ture and made great sure to certaine that had the doing in those matter vvith manifold persuasions that so it might be And being told that the dealing in EnglaÌ„d in such cases specially for strangers vvas much harder then in the Heathen Countries vvhere there vvere no such exquisite lavves against religion as in the Countries reuolted they replied that they had no feare of dangers nor deaths nor miseries vvhatsoeuer but that they vvould sell their ovvne persons to any seruitude and for vvhat vvorke so euer either in Vniuersities that they so might deale vvith scholers or othervvise to learne the language thereby to practise vvith the people for their saluation for hauing had that intention of long either tovvard Turky or other Pagan places novv our mindes said they are excedingly set vpon English soules vvhom S.

For these late terrours thankes be to God trouble them so litle that diuers straight vpon the arriual here in Rhemes of the late Proclamation of Ianuarie came to their Superiors to desire leaue to go in and being ansvvered that the times vvere not seasonable they said it vvas no Godamercie for a Priest to enter in at other times but that they vvere brought vp and made specially for such daies and nineteene persons the same vveeke folovving tooke holy Orders Such is their desire but for their going in they shal be moderated as reason requireth The principal point is that they be not God be praised much afraid of death or danger in so happie and honorable a quarel and many desire MartyrdoÌ„ if god shal so dispose by vvhich vve euer gaine more to Gods Church then by any office of our life and bloud voluntarily yelded crieth forcibly for mercie tovvard our Countrie Thus the Church stood and increased in most places of the vvorld for some hundred yeres after Christ together the Prophete forvvarning it that it should liue in bloud If our Countrie yeld vs no succour for feare of mans lavves God that hath fedde vs these 20 yeres vvil not forsake vs. If frendes and parentes must giue vs no releefe vve say vvith S.

Church as it is his spiritual and mystical Commonvvealth but are called by the Prophete her foster fathers as Queenes be also named her nources because it belongeth to the earthly povver that God hath giuen them to defend the lavves of the Church to cause them to be executed and to punish rebelles and transgressors of the same The Church then liue she among the Heathens liue she vvith the Christians must haue and hold that forme of regiment and Commonvvealth vvhich Christ immediatly instituted and vvas not chosen made or created by the peoples ordinance and consent vvhich is the origine of al other humane states and formes of Politie the holy Ghost perpetually assisting protecting and propagating the said spiritual regiment in al degrees and functions as in Apostles Bishops Priests and the rest to the end of the vvorld And to these the Apostle said Attend to your self and to your whole flocke ouer which the holy Ghost hath put you to rule the Church Of these he said to vs Obey your Rulers and be subiect to them for they watch as being to giue accoumpt for your soules This regiment is not the right of any earthly crovvne Prince or State they al if they be Christians ovving subiection to the Pastors of their soules and vnto the Church of Christ The Church neuer yelded it nor can yeld it vnto them It is not agreable to them by nature as vve see in the Heathen it can not be chalenged by their Christianitie by vvhich them selues are bound to obey the Church and may not commaund it no earthly Commonvvealth can giue or conferre it to their Prince because they can not giue that vvhich they haue not by any natural facultie The Prince therfore neither taking it of the people nor hauing it by birth or othervvise can not communicate it to Parliament and consequently can not possibly make lavves heare or determine by him self Parliament or any other Court in such sort subiected vnto him of the Churches regiment And strange it is specially in that first assembly of the States hovv they could attempt to bring the Churches spiritual and proper regimeÌ„t into consultation iudicial cognition and deliberation before the Prince or them selues vvere found lavvful iudges in such cases no statute then that stood in force graunting them any such povver nor no such thing any vvay lavvful othervvise then by the false presupposition of the Princes Ecclestastical supremacie vvhich yet vvas not by lavves nor in truth by nature could be agnised before the determination therof in Parliament Vvhich hauing no legal meanes to deliberate of the matter could much lesse giue sentence for it But such knottes vvheÌ„ they caÌ„ not be loosed theÌ„ they are bold to breake theÌ„ as they did an other like insoluble in the next Parliament about creating their Bishops Vvhich being deficient in the foundation can hardly be amended In truth the Prince or Court of Parliament hath no more lavvful meanes to giue order to the Church and Clergie in these things then they haue to make lavves for the hierarchies of Angels in heauen To bring in these nouelties many a hard shift is sought God knovveth and of al absurdities this paradoxe of the Supremacie passeth the Lutherans flatly controvvling it in general and Caluin him self vvith al the PuritaÌ„s at the least much misliking and reprehending the first graunt therof to King Harrie for it is al one to be head of the Church and to be cheefe Gouernour in causes Ecclesiastical And it may be thought that it is for some such quidditie that their B. of Canterburie hath been restrained The truth is novv after they haue flattered the Prince there vvith sufficiently for the establishing of their religion they vvould gladly haue the spiritual souerainty theÌ„ selues the better to establish other nevv deuises of their ovvne vvherein if they might do as they list square should haue been round long since and of al daies in the yere sunday vvere like to be fasting day But hovv so euer such giue or deny the same to the Prince it is plaine against al reason and nature and that much more in a vvoman then a man vvhich is not capable therof by her sexe It giueth povver to the Queene to conferre that to others as to the Priests and Bishops to preach minister SacrameÌ„ts haue cure of soules and such like vvhich she neither hath nor can haue nor do her self It giueth her that may neither preach nor speake in publike of matters of religion to do that vvhich is much more euen to prescribe by her self or her deputes or lavves authorised onely by her to the preachers vvhat to preach vvhich vvay to vvorship and serue God hovv and in vvhat forme to minister the Sacraments to punish and depriue teach and correct them and generally to prescribe and appoint vvhich vvay she vvil be gouerned in
