Father speakinge froÌ„ the heauens This is my dearely beloued Sonne in whom I am delited heare him whose fidelitie also no lesse passed the faithfullnesse of Moyses then did his honor and dignitie being the Sonne of God and promysed Sauiour doing nothing at all nor teaching any thing which his heuenly Father had not appoynted him to do and to teache Wherfore as the Iewes had the Lawe of God and his commandementes for a sufficient discharge agaynst all contrarie commandementes of what auctoritie so euer they were being no farther bownde to any creature theÌ„ the self same Lawes of God approued euenso all such as beare the Name of Christ and woulde be taken for the people of God thoghe they be of the basest aÌ„d loweste state of subiectes are no farther bownd to any Prince or superior power nor to their commandementes then the coÌ„mandement of the chief kinge aÌ„d Lorde doth approue aÌ„d permitte nor then their promesse agayne to him doth require Nether may it be a sufficieÌ„t discharge for thee to alleadge ignoraÌ„ce because thou art a subiecte and therfore hast nothing to do to inquire of the doinges or to examyne the commandementes of thy superiors or Rulers but wilt say with the multitude If they commaÌ„de well thou art obedient if otherwise thou art excused in doing as thou art coÌ„manded and they onely haue to answer to God by whoÌ„ thou art thus charged Desceaue not thy self deare brother For aswell art thou charged by Gods worde to knowe what they commande thee and not to do it except it be lawfull as they are charged by their office to will nothiÌ„g of thee which Gods worde approueth not For as they in commanding aÌ„d doing euill shall not escape Gods heauy wrathe and iudgmeÌ„tes no more shalt thou being made an instrument of their impietie and vngodlynesse Therfore to be ignorant in these thinges althogh thou be a subiecte is to contemne the commandement of God and to neglecte thine owne saluation for as muche as God hath charged thee beinge one of his people with the same Lawes the Ceremonies except wherwithe he charged his people Israel before and willith thee no lesse to knowe his preceptes and to obeye them then he willed the Isralites Of them he required to haue his Lawes wryteÌ„ vpon their dores and postes to instructe their children in the same to talke of them sitting at home and when they walked in the waye when they went to bed and wheÌ„ they shuld rise But to thee besides all this God hath sent a more shining light our Sauiour Iesus Christe which euery man may clerely beholde excepte he be wilfully blynde with the stubberne Iewes He is the light that shinethe in darknesse and lightneth euery man that commeth in to this worlde He hathe taken away the shaddoues aÌ„d CeremoÌ„ies of the Lawe that thou mayst clerely beholde the will of his Father He hath vncouered Moyses face to the-intent thou mayst fully consider the secrets of God For these are the dayes wherof the Prophet Ioel spake when all shulde be Prophets and see visioÌ„s And it shal come to passe in the latter dayes saith God that I wil powre furth my Spirite vpoÌ„ all fleshe aÌ„d your sonnes aÌ„d daughters shall prophecie your younge men shall see visions and your auntients shall dreame dreames And moreouer vpon my seruauntes and handemaydes in those dayes will I powre my Spirite and they shall prophecie Which prophecie S. Peter affirmeth to be fulfilled in the kingdome of Christe where all thinges are as playne and euident to all sortes of men and women which professe Christe vnfaynedly as before his tyme they were to the Prophets them selues or to such as God appeared vnto in dreames or visions And therfore if ignorance of Gods Lawes coulde not excuse the Iewes before Christes commyng which were contynualy subiecte to the punishment of God for their transgressions thoghe many thinges were obscure as in shadowes and figures how muche lesse caÌ„ it excuse any maÌ„ now in so great lyght of the Gospel Seing then thou knowest thy self bownd to obeye thy Lorde God aboue all others because of the inestimable benefits thou hast receaued of him in Christe Iesus and because he requireth the same of thee and thou hast also promised no lesse to him in thy baptisme and profession and last of all in that thou canest not pretende ignorance in such knowledge â–ª and shyninge brightnesse nor yet escape Gods vengeance which he with out respecte of persones wil powre indifferently vpon all transgressors be they superior powers or inferior subiectes It is thy parte then beiÌ„g a subiecte to learne this lesson of the Apostles wheÌ„ so euer thou shuldest be constrayned by commandement or force of tyrantes to do euill That God must be obeyed before man Which vnto thee will be as sufficieÌ„t a defence and buckler in all assaultes and daungers as it is to all other sortes of men in auctoritie and office as was before declared Art thow then being a subiecte commauÌ„ded to worshipp stockes and stones which this day to our shame are erected agayne in Englande Beholde thou hast Gods commandement for thy defence Thou shalt commit no idolatrie nor make to thy self any grauen image c. Art thou charged to be at the idolatrous Masse wherin Christe thy Lorde is blasphemed Beholde he hath geuen thee an other charge that is to celebrate his Supper according as he left in example sayng Do you this that is which ye se me do aÌ„d not which the powers of the worlde or the pestileÌ„t papistes commande Also do it saith Christe in remembrance of me and not of your frindes alyue or departed as teache the Papistes For none of theÌ„ died for you More ouer do it to shewe forth the deathe of Christe til his coming as witnesseth the Apostle and not to make a new sacrifice for synne as the Papists blasphemously both teache and preache Art thou commanded by men to dishonour the Sabbathe day in worshipping of Sainctes and abstayning vpon their dayes and euens from thy lawfull busines Beholde God thy Lorde chargeth thee no further then onely with his daye of reste saying See thou keepe holie the Sabbath of the Lorde thy God and not of Peter Paule Marie Iames or Iohn Art thou commaÌ„ded to sweare in the name of Marie and all the Saincts in heauen which is the papistical othe Beholde the Lorde saithe Thow shalt onely sweare in the Name of thy Lorde and God Art thou commanded not onely to take the Name of the Lorde in vayne but also to forswere thy self moste shamefully agaynst Gods glorious Maiestie and the honor of our Sauiour Christe as all they haue done which lately haue sworne to acknowledge Antichriste the bloudy butcher of Rome to be their head and gouernour Beholde The Lorde will not suffer his house vnpunished that taketh his Name in vayne muche lesse such periured and forsworen wretches

worshippinge his calues in Dan and Bethel Then shuld that cruell butcher Doeg in killinge Ahimalech with LXXXV Priests or Leuites and the whole towne of Nob at the commandement of vngodlie kinge Saul haue bene preferred to the reste of all his seruantes and souldiars And the souldiars also of cruell Herode shuld be blamelesse in murtheriÌ„g aÌ„d sheading the bloude of so many infantes in Bethlehem at Herods commandement Then shulde the wicked Iewes be gyltlesse of Christes deathe aÌ„d his Prophets whom they consented to murther by the parsuasion of their Rulers And the counterfayte Christians this day which euerie where but especiallie in our miserable countrie imprison famishe murther hange and burne their owne countriemen and deare children of God at the commandement of furious Iesabel and her false Priestes and Prophetes the blouddie Bisshopps and shauelynges shulde be giltlesse in all their doinges But all these doth God who is a Ielious aÌ„d righteous God and cannot abide his honor to be geuen to any other nor suffer the bloude of the innocent longe to crie vnto him for vengeance condemne as blasphemers idolatres and cruell murtherers which saithe Thou shalt haue no other Goddes but me Thou shalt not kill And if God dothe make this disobedience as thou mayst playnely see what commandement of man can aulter his sentence before whom there is no obedience in euil thinges Yea if the whole multitude from the hiest to the lowest wolde agree and consent to do euel yet muste not thou followe them saith the Lorde For if thou do notwithstanding the commandement of thy Prince or example of all others thou art with them a rebell and a rebell agaynst thy Lorde and God from whose wrathe and heauie indignation no man can defende thee in the dreadfull daie of his visitacion which is at hande CHAP. VI. How it is not inough to denye wicked commandemeÌ„ts of all kinde of Rulers except we withstand them also euery man accordinge to his vocation in doing the contrary AS by this answere afore mentioned we haue bene taught not to geue place to the vnlawfull commandemeÌ„tes of Magistrates in what auctoritie so euer they be because it is nothing but rebellion in the iudgement of God euen so may we learne by the same answere and example of the Apostles how God requiereth more at our handes that is to withstande their preceptes in doing the contrary euery man accordinge to his office and estate wherin God hathe placed him For as man thinketh him self not fullie obeyed when we abstayne from those thinges which he forbiddeth except moreouer we do the contrary which he commandeth euenso may we muche more thinke that God is not fullie obeyed when we will not do the vngodlie commandements of men except also we applye our selues with all diligence to do the contrary So did Peter and Iohn make answere denying to do as they were comaunded by the Magistrates And as they denyed in wordes so did they aÌ„d the rest of the Apostles in effecte as the course of the historie doth witnesse Who went all to gether to the Temple after they were dimissed and preached openlie in the face of all the people Iesus Christe crucified not with standing all the afore named threatnynges and menacinges yea afterwarde when they had bene imprisoned and then by the Angel of God deliuered and whipped moste vilely as if they had bene slaues yet were they nothing therby discouraged but continued in one mynde and answere sayng as they did before with one voyce and consent God muste be obeyed before man and boldlie preached their maister Christ contemning all displeasures which they for his Names sake sustened remembring well his sure and confortable promesses who said Blessed are you when men reuile you and sklander you and speake all euill againste you lying for my sake be glad and reioce for greate is your rewarde in the kingdome of heauen For so did they persecute the prophetes before you Thus see we theÌ„ how the trueth of this doctrine is not proued onely by the firste examination of Peter and Iohn but also confirmed the second tyme by the rest of all the Apostels agreeinge therin and suffringe vile scourginge for the same not onely boldlie affirminge it in the presence of all the Magistrates at Ierusalem but as constantly approuinge it in their doinges when contrarie to their commandemeÌ„tes they ceased not more diligentlye to publishe the doctrine of saluation reioysinge and praysinge God who had made them worthie to suffer for his SoÌ„nes sake their Lorde and maister O worthy and manful souldiars O moste trustie and payneful seruantes neither feringe the prowde lokes and malitious threatninges of the whole Senate and power of Ierusalem nor shrinking in their office for all their cruel punishments But the more they were forbidden and the oftener they were punished the stouter stronger and mightier were they to fight against their enemes with the spiritual sworde wherwith they were charged in their maisters quarel beinge assured allwayes of this that he who gaue theÌ„ auctoritie to preach woulde geue theÌ„ strengh also for the performance therof as he had promesed â–ª sayinge I will be with you to the end of the worlde And he beinge with theÌ„ as the Apostle saithe what should they care who were against them A worthie example aÌ„d mirour for all such to beholde as are called of God to be his messengers and disposers of his holie mysteries how faithful they oght to be in the distribution of the same omitting no maner of occasions obeying no contrarie commandements nor fearing the cruel threatninges of men God hath geuen them the charge of moste pretious iewels and inestimable riches not to be hid in a corner or retayned with them selues but rather as the Apostle exhorteth to styrre vp the gyfte of God which is in them and not to neglect it to preache the worde of God and to be instant in season and out of season to conuince reproue and exhorte with all softnesse and learning For this is that sharpe and two edged sworde wherewith God hath not onely armed them agaynste their enimies but to fight also manfullie for others agaynst all powers worldly and spiritual with this mightie and spiritual sworde the worde of God For otherwise if Christe him self had ceased to preache his Fathers will for which cause partly he was sent in to the worlde for feare of threatninges conspiracies commandements and punishments of men where had bene this comfortable doctrine of saluation When shulde he haue suffred death for our redemption and delyuerance How shuld the Apostles and all other faithfull martyrs which by their deathes in all ages haue geuen glorie to Christ haue left behinde them so worthie monumentes and comfortable writinges besides the notable examples of constancie in sealinge vp their doctrine with the sheading of their bloud if they had yealded or shronke in executinge their office
