of England Trumpe where euerie coate and sute are sorted in their degree are running to their Ruffe where the greatest sorte of the sute carrieth away the game and to their Mawe where the fiue fingers is a carde of great strength and though the King and the Queene bee in the decke yet the knaue must commande all and beare the swaie And that thou maist knowe them to bee good Dicers too when their Dice are fo cunninglie coggd as though they cast Sinnes for the moste parte yet they maie in the end with a tripsie Tray carrie all awaie smoothe and come once to the sweepe-stake and make a bare boorde and howe they meane than to proceede if they passe shall bee a Mumchaunce for mee that are like as wiser heads no doubte doo see to hazard all For then the Dice are like to rule all bee the caster neuer so cunning and his heape neuer so great before him VVhich point perhappes they will carrie the cleanlier couering it with this cloke that as they pretend in other matters of lesse moment by them to reduce all to the precise forme of the Primitiue Church so for this matter especiallie they being as it were our newe Apostles and verie Apostolique are their writings no doubte and their pistles sauoureth much of the phrase of the Apostles epistles all must be sold and brought to their feete that they may set their feete on the highest head For this generation is like the Iuie that from the roote groweth vp and roundeth it selfe as it were for pure loue about the Elme and neuer leaueth to creepe vp till it ●ath aduanced it self to the highest of all and suckt out the sappe cleane and dried it vp The greene leaues make a faire and a glorious shewe but in the end when it hath clunged close and climbed aloft it marreth al both top and trunke Thus haue I shewed thee gentle Reader a short sight of Martins schoole the degrees of his formes the summe of his lessons and the drift both of the master and schollers and for so much as the olde Martin is dead as streight thou shalt heare were it not that we are bound rather for the quiet of the Church and safetie of the state as well to wish the vtter extirpation of al such vntractable and seditious scisme sowers as to worke withall by all orderlie meanes we may to effect the same in time conuenient before it bee growne to so great a head as will trouble the wisest heads and the highest head perhapps to help it wee might otherwise praie with the old woman of Siracusa for the good health and wellfare of these two yong Slipps his sonnes least after them come out vnto vs the great diuell their grand master Beelzebub himselfe whose next forerunner out of all doubt this race of Martins is And these are the yonkers that wee now vndertake the olde Martins reuerend sonne and heire and his worshipfull Brother who being both but newelie come to their Fathers lands and goods I meane his good and are ful of them and therefore can make no one forme of themselues And this also with manie other as materiall points shall in the next at large be proued These fellowes haue heretofore been answered to their chiefest matters which God knoweth were both fewe and friuolous by 〈◊〉 of the best sorte an vnfit match for these of the basest baggagerie both grauelie and learnedly But as the Ape the more sagelie you looke on him the more he grinneth and 〈…〉 substantiallie you reason 〈◊〉 him the lesse he vnderstandeth so these Panions scorning all modestie and reiecting 〈…〉 delight in nothing but in their most miserable vaine of resting and foolerie It is therefore thought the best way for experience and time tries al things and some wisemen wer● before of that Iudgement and the wise man himself dooth so aduise vs and Martin the foole himselfe is of the same opinion to answere the foole● according to their 〈…〉 For I haue here at this time onelie plaied with their foolish coxecombe purposing in my next to decipher their knauish head also and when they shall put off their fooles coate and leaue snapping of their wodden dagger and betake themselues to a soberer kinde of reasoning which will bee verie hard for such vices to doo to accept of their glorious gloue Till then wee will returne them the Cuffe in stead of the gloue and hisse the fooles from off the stage as the readiest meanes to out-face them though besides that they hide their heads they be most impudent and canot blush For what face soeuer they set on the matter these Iigges and Rimes haue nipt the father in the head kild him cleane seeing that hee is ouertaken in his owne foolerie And this hath made the yong youthes his sonnes to chafe and fret aboue measure especiallie with the Plaiers their betters in all respects both in wit and honestie whom sauing their liueries for indeede they are hir Maiesties men and these not so much as hir good subiects they call Rogues for playing their enterludes and Asses for trauelling all daie for a pennie not remembring that both they their Father playing the fooles without any liuerie are roges indeed by the lawes of this land and that for nothing now two yeares together are the veriest Asses of all the rest And yet shalt thou finde good Reader in this iesting with him but especiallie in the next that the foole is bobbd withall in good earnest and that he is proued a plaine Hermaphrodite that is both a foolish knaue and a knauish foole also and the veriest foole in the world if he be not as very a knaue withall may soone see to what passe both religion the state would shortlie come if Mad Martin his mates marrings and his sonnes shiftings might by such as are of might which the GOD of all might forefend bee made account of These iests that now we deale withal are partlie the old mans monuments but especiallie the elder sonnes censure and the yongers Theses The first occasion indeed grew of this latter published by the dawling Martin Iunior by meanes as himselfe saith of certaine maimed and imperfect Articles which he found dropt out of some mans belike the hangmans budget whereof you shall heare more in the next wherein hee imagineth his Father whose articles they were to be dead that the elder saith also he cā not gaine-fay which is the grounde work and foundation of our building here for this time VVhat hee omitted I haue supplied touching the cause of his death and manner of his buriall for that I would be lothe so memorable matters should be buried with him which is but an Introduction to other matters that shortlie shall followe sit somewhat neerer them vpon the truth wherof thou maist much better build I wis then vpon their fond phroenetical fancies wherupon

they would haue thee if thou were so wise to found thy faith To conclude marke Martins life and his proceedings and thou wilt saie his death and funeralls were answerable vnto it And since he is dead let him bee buried also in thy conceit and so let his vaine works together with his remembrance lie still as he dooth and 〈◊〉 as carrion And as for these yong Martins both the one and the other and all the broode of such beastlie bratts assure thy self they are not long liued that in the noses of all that are not stuft to much with the Pose of preiudice but can smell any thing in the worlde do euen now stinke aboue the ground aliue Fare well And if thou wilt fare well indeede Beware of Martin ¶ A true report of the death and buriall of Martin Mar-prelate Incipit faeliciter GOod newes to England Olde Martin the Marre-all is dead and buried Hee telleth you the tale that knoweth it to bee true I pray GOD neuer worse newes come either to Court or Countrie and all good people say Amen You long I know to heare the cause and manner of his death whose life and doings were so infamous and many I doubt not will thinke and probablie too that it should bee in reason some strange and violent death that is befalne him that was so monstrous and immoderate in all his proceedings and that either in the fire water or ayre that so troubled the earth while he liued vpon it The verie truth I will tell you for pitie it were to belie the dead from point to point without altering so much as a pinnes point as neere as my memoric will giue me leaue and therefore listen Many are the reports scattered abroad of both as commonly in such great accidents is accustomed and all false Some say hee was taken by the Spaniards and burnt in the Groyne and they that report so say that hee brought the cause thereof from hence with him not for religion but some other causes that now I omit Some that he was hanged by his owne companie at Lisbone for a mut●nie which was verie likelie to haue been true also that euer was giuen to factions and mutinies while he liued here Some that comming thence hauing before ouerdronke himselfe with the hot wines of those Countries which he could not but loue wel being so seldome sober for the most part as he was he died of a surfet and was throwne ouer boord so was double drowned both within and without Some that riding in his visitation his horse stumbled and he brake his necke which other some say was in some other sort as that hee wandring to that purpose in the manner of a Gipson for that he would not bee knowne was taken and trust vp for a roge and that onelie knowne to his companions Indeede I denie not anie one of these happes were likelie enough to haue befalne him and not without his iust deserts and most men say it was well enough which way soeuer of these hee ended and worse if worse might bee Howbeit it was not that so well as they do ween for being perhappes reserued for his two sonnes hereafter but neither better nor worse than I will tell you Martin Iunior his sonne who knoweth the truth as no man better yet loath to haue it published for that it toucheth his and his friends credite verie neerelie seeketh to shadowe it with other some-saies and that you may knowe him to be no bastard though perhappes yet base begotten for euen at this Age he doubteth who was his Father and therefore must we take him to bee terrae filius not so much as one word true Some saie quoth he that he died at the Groyne in seruice of her Maiestie and his Countrie But what saith Martin Senior his sonne and heire and this mans brother to that He die at the Groyne nay heele be hanged erthe die there Loe Martin Iunior your bigger brother besides the reuerend remembrance of his deare Father giues ye the flat lie for that he died not there And no maruaile For he neuer liued in the seruice of her Maiestie and therefore who wil beleeue he died in it He neuer carried so good a mind to his Prince and Countrie faithfullie to fight for it that would so spitefullie write against it and seeke so wickedlie to vndermine it whose ouerthrowe he sought in his kinde at home as hotlie with his shot of inke paper as the master of the Groyne did abroad with his of powder and pellet And therefore say no more so Petrie Martin no man will beleeue it neither haue Those others you talke of The man in the moone belike and the carter of Charles waine any iust Motiues inducing them to be of that minde Indeed there died many an honester man and much more profitable members of the Common wealth the greater though our griefe yet their glorie that valiantlie triumphed ouer their cowardlie enemies and constantly rendred their liues in their Princes countries seruice which none of you all will euer either liue or dye in and if Martin your father you two Martins his sonnes and your mates had excused them it had been a great good turne both for the Prince and countrie especiallie there where one trouble State might haue plaied vpon another and so a good riddance made of both together After this as knowing himselfe how ridiculous a suppose that is he requireth in scorne of his N●nkaes the BB. see how like the old Ape this young Munkey pattereth whether they haue not el●selie murdered the Gentleman in some of their Prisons and strangled him knowing him to haue kept himselfe farre enough from their fingers as these youthes themselues minding to be neither valiant Martins though they like lustie Martins talke so much of venturing their liues in the quarrel vaunt them selues to bee the best subiects of the Realme nor constant confessors though they bragge so much of the goodnes of their cause which they gloriouslie guild with the fl●●nting phrase of Sinceritie and damme others to the deepe pit of hell for not aduancing it doo and wil doo I warrant them and they be not caught in the snatch against their will for feare of a Lambathisme which of all things in the world they cannot abide Howbeit pretie youth I must needes confesse the Tippet you talke of as il as he loues them was verie due vnto thē though a much meaner man than any of those might haue fitted his neck withall and you his sonne your faire brother withall as good a gentleman as he may liue to enioy it and that as your right by course of lawe being a portion of the inheritance that your father l●ft vnto you But it seemeth your father was not borne vnto it for that he died not possessed of it the more is the pitie but purchased it since belike by his owne penie Or haue you not
