or can be And though our good God hetherto hath of his most gratious goodnes disappointed them of all their purposes blessed be his name for it yet they do still biggly breath foorth blood and slaughters and cease not For euen at this day they do by libells and letters threatten our ruine and blowe foorth their owne triumphe And herein they are so forewarde that they do name the persons which shal be they saye their captaines They assigne the time in which they shall reigne ouer vs they shall florishe we shall smoake or else their kalender fayleth them yea they do note the men almost by name whom they haue appointed to the slaughter and thus they do blowe vp the trumpette of their triumphe but before the victory thankes be to god Surely we do not feare them at all but we do feare God whose iust wrath we do prouoke by our vnholy handling of his most holy Gospel This this is it that doth most feare vs for by this we know that we do deserue that he shoulde once againe scourge vs with the whippes of these Popish Philistines But we do pray him that he will haue mercy on vs euen for his owne goodnes sake For he is kinde mercyfull and slowe to wrath yea he sayth of him selfe Isai 27. Anger is not in me May it please him therefore to giue vs the grace to be at peace at one with him we care not then though all the Papistes in the worlde and all the Deuills in hell do sette them selues against vs Whilest they fume freatte at vs we learne to beleeue that goodnes of the Lord which for our comfort he doth laye foorth Isai 48. where he sayth For my names sake I will differ my wrath for my praise I wil restraine it from thee that I cutte thee not of for mine owne sake will I do it And we humbly pray as they did Ier. 14. VVe acknowledge o Lorde our wickednes and the iniquities of our fathers for we haue sinned against thee Doe not abhorre vs for thy names sake cast not downe the throne of thy glory remember and breake not thy couenaunt with vs. And to this also we trust that he will haue an eye now as euer he hath had to his enemies and cutte them shorte of their purpose according to his owne good pleasure that they do not triumphe ouer him so we know that God as he is able so he wil deale against them for vs. He doth bid vs not to feare man whose breath is in his nostrells For wherein is he to be esteemed He biddeth vs not to feare them which can but kill the body but to feare him who when he hath killed the bodie hath power to cast the soule into euerlasting fire Notwithstanding all the bigge braue bragges which Papists make it seemeth that all thinges as yet do not come about to serue the turne so roundly as they woulde and therefore in the meane time they do content them selues to take a lower course and will by cullor of prayer creepe into our bosomes But the Apostle sayeth that the deuill can turne him selfe into the fashion of an Angell of lighte And therefore it is no great thinge though his ministers transforme them selues as though they were the ministers of righteousnes but their ende shal be according to their workes By libells at Oxford and bulls from Rome they breath out the furye of their conceaued malice and sodenly they chaunge their mode into their kind of prayer They do now herein as their kinge the Pope hath done hertofore against vs The last Pope Pius thundred out a bull of his currish censure against our good Queene Elizabeth to turne her out of her royall state and life and after that he sent into England closely a messenger whose name as Doctor Saunders telleth vs is Nicolas Morton by office a priest a meete officer for such a Pope purpose This man was sente to follow that Popish bull and he did it so freashly that thereon did follow a rebellion in the North partes of this lande But God almightie quenched this fire in his most riche mercy The rebells ranne their country Pope Pius by death is picked ouer the pearche Our Queene Elizabeth doth still holde her place thankes be to God reigneth in Godly quietnes O Lord graunt that she may longe so do Pope Gregorie that now is seeing this roughe attempt of his predecessor haue so euil succes chaungeth the course of his Popishe proceading and hath nowe sente by his suppostes certain bulls into England in which he promiseth full remission of sinnes to them which after that dissembled deuotion which he putteth downe shal pray for the conuersion of Englande he sayeth to the Catholicke fayth but he doeth meane the peruertion of Englande from the true Christian faith into that filthe and falsehoode of the Romish error Thus the Popes are coÌ„teÌ„t to fall from armes fighting and cursing to faire promises flattery and praying But I trust English men for whose pleasure the Pope wil seeme to haue brought foorth this bull haue learned more wisedome in the Gospell of God then now to be made calues by such a Popish bull In like manner our Louanistes hauing spente as it seemeth the greatest parte of their common shotte at vs but in vaine thankes be to God beginne to allure vs to like of them by teaching vs to praye But we haue already learned to praye of the best schoolemaister that euer was is or shal be euen of our Lord Iesus Christ And therefore we haue no eare to hearken to these Popish bunglers and corrupters of holy thinges They haue to this ende published in prince of late a thing which they call Iesus Psalter and the author thereof or Master Fowler the printer therof doth tell vs That there be three manner of Psalters the first is called Dauids Psalter which containeth thrise fifty Psalmes the second sayth he is called the Psalter of our Lady coÌ„teining thrise fiftie Aues the third is called the Psalter of Iesu or the inuocatioÌ„ of Iesus conteining fiftene principall petitions which tenne times repeated make also thrise fiftie What meane these men so farre to forgette them selues that they do now commend to the Reader but these three manner of Psalters Their forefathers haue ben more liberall to vs as shall forthwith appeare The Psalter of Dauid conteyning 150. Psalmes we do acknowledge to be deliuered to vs by the spirite of God for our comforte and instruction For Christ Iesus himselfe teacheth vs that Dauid in his Psalmes doth speake inspired by the holy Ghost And therfore with all humblenes of harte and reuereÌ„ce we do receaue the same as a booke of holy Scripture deliuered to vs as other bookes of the holy Scripture are euen by God him selfe We do not receaue it as a Psalter giuen to vs by the Papistes For it is no Psalter of theirs although it pleaseth them nowe in

deliuer vs from that dampnation which through our sinnes we doe deserue eueÌ„ by that recompence which he hath already made for vs in his owne most bitter death and bloody passion It is the blood of Christ which through the eternall spirite offered him selfe without spotte to God which purgeth our conscience from dead workes to serue the liuinge god It is Iesus Christ who hath appeared once to take away sinne by the sacrifice of him selfe Heb. 9. Now as the same Apostle sayth Heb. 10. Where the remission of these thinges is there is no more offeringe for sinne and I say where the recompence for sinne is thus made by Iesus there is no more recompence to be made for sinne How dare Fowler then teache vs to require to haue a firme purpose in vs to make our selues a recompence for this which Iesus only both coulde doe and also did fully sufficiently for vs What is this else but to aske of Iesus a firme purpose to renounce and forsake him It is nothing else verely but to forsake the redemption which we haue in Christ Iesus to repose our selues vppon our owne making of recompeÌ„ce to pray as Fowler teacheth But what Prophet what Apostle or Sainct did euer so pray or taught vs to pray That which none hath done euer Fowler now dare do Dauid prayeth humbly to the Lorde in his Psalter that he will forget and forgiue the faults of his youth Psal. 25. And he reioyceth that the Lord hath forgiuen him his sins that he hath forgotten theÌ„ that he hath remoued them from him as farre as is the East from the West that he hath throwne them into the bottome of the sea Psal. 103. Dauid prayeth not to haue a firme purpose to make recompence for his sins but resteth in the blessed remission of his sinnes giuen him by God of his free goodnes mercy through Christ Iesus And againe Dauid in the Psal. 31. confesseth of him selfe this I acknowledge my sinne vnto thee neither hide I mine iniquitie for I thought I will confesse against my selfe my wickednes vnto the Lorde and thou hast forgiueÌ„ the iniquity of my sinne Thus doth Dauid in his Psalter singe an other manner of Psalme then Fowler doth in this his Psalter For the true Prophet Dauid prayeth for forgiuenesse of his sinnes and reioyceth in this that God did forgiue him which is such a thinge to be desired that Dauid sayth immediatly in that Psalme Therefore shall euery one that is godly make his prayer vnto thee c. What accompt then shall we make of Fowler who prayeth not for this but cleane contrarie to this for he will haue a firme purpose to make him selfe a recompence for his owne sinnes Surely neither is this prayer of Fowlers like to that of the godly nor him self godly in this praying For if euery one that is godly prayeth for forgiuenes of sins Fowler is vngodly who prayeth not for forgiuenesse but for a firme purpose to make a recompense for his sinnes The holy children of God are all most holily taught by Iesus our very Iesus and Sauior to pray Forgiue vs our trespasses This is an other manner of thing then to pray for a firme purpose to make our selues recoÌ„pense for our sinnes Simple is he that will forsake that forme of prayer which Iesus Christe hath taught and holy Dauid vsed in his Psalter Dauid I say who was that sweete Psalme singer of Israell 2. Sam. 23. will follow this faithles fiddle of Fowler Simple is he that will forsake that recompense which Iesus Christ hath once made for him trust to a recompense of his own making This were fowly to fal from Christ to runne headlong into the dungeon of despaire Al the Angels heauenly spirites in heauen all the men in earth can not make such a recompense Onely Iesus Christ Iesus I say alone was able to make and did make the full recompense for sinne did it fully for the faithfull therfore he hath founde euerlasting saluation for them which shal be saued as the Apostle sayth Heb. 9. which truely he could not haue gayned vnles the recompense which he made for them had bene fully sufficient Now to take this work of making recompense into our owne handes is either to deny or to dout of the fulnes of that recompense which Iesus Christ hath made for vs and this to doe is to robbe Iesus of his glory and the robber doth robbe him selfe of comfort and saluation in Christ so doth but deceaue him self and double his owne sinne damnation Yet thus woulde M. Fowler haue his Reader to pray to Iesu to haue not onely his purpose but his firme purpose to make him self recompense for his sinnes which is to robbe Iesus of his glory to be him self a deceit to him self to make his way to most spedy certein damnation If M. Fowler mistrust the recompense which Iesus hath made and doth desire to make his owne recompense for his owne sinnes then doth he not beleue that Iesus hath made either any recompense at al or not a full recompeÌ„se for his sinnes which is a point of plaine infidelitie Such as floweth in the Romish Catholike Church This peece of poyson lyeth in this Psalter of M. Fowlers euen this robbing of Iesus in M. Fowler his Psalter of Iesus An other petition followteh containing these wordes Graunt me the seuen giftes of the holy Ghost the eyght beatitudes the foure Cardinall vertues and in receiuing of the Sacrament deuoutly to dispose me M. Fowler delighteth him selfe greately in sett numbers and yet he is no good Arithmetrician When he speaketh of the seuen gifts of the holy ghost he should haue tolde his Reader what they be and where he learned that there be but seuen Surely we knowe that there are many more giftes then seauen which the holy Ghost doth giue to the elect children of God I say many more Likewise I saye of the Beatitudes of which he speaketh as though there were no more but eight It may be that I am so ignorant that I doe not know to what places of the holy scriptures M. Fowler had his eye in these his set numbers Therefore let him name the places him selfe proue to vs if he can either that they do containe these precise numbers of seauen or eight and no more or that there be no more giftes of the holy Ghost but seauen nor more beatitudes but eight In the meane tyme the Christian Reader which loueth with godly reuerence to searche the Scriptures in searchinge shall finde that there be many more giftes of the holy Ghost then seauen many more beatitudes then eight Let not him therfore be thus abridged of his blessednes by Maister Fowler if he doe loue sanctification and blessednes M. Fowler seemeth also to haue some smattering of Philosophy in telling vs of foure cardinal vertues But some of his Maisters in teaching vertues haue spoken of the
