A18700	An exhortation to all menne to take hede and beware of rebellion wherein are set forth the causes, that commonlye moue men to rebellion, and that no cause is there, that ought to moue any man there vnto. With a discourse of the miserable effectes, that ensue thereof, and of the wretched ende, that all rebelles comme to, moste necessary to be redde in this seditiouse [and] troublesome tyme, made by Iohn Christoferson. At the ende whereof are ioyned two godlye prayers, one for the Quenes highnes, verye conuenient to be sayd dayly of all her louing and faythfull subiectes, and an other for the good [and] quiete estate of the whole realme. Read the whole, and then iudge.	Christopherson, John, d. 1558.	1554 (1554)	STC 5207; ESTC S117507	113,228	472

and learne a newe lesson And agayne whensoeuer they see one of his cote walke by the strete they wolde whistell and hemme at him say go walke in a mischiefe you bald headed knaue Yea as yet thys maliciouse mockers cease not in many places whē they can spie a prieste to playe the like part But thinke you that suche mockers shal not at length be plaged for their taūtinge of Gods ministers euen as the children were that mocked Heliseus the Prophete These children that I speake of as Heliseus the anoynted Prophete of God went to Bethell came forth of the citie mocked him saying walke vp you bald headed horson walke vp Who loking backe seyng them cursed thē in the name of GOD and by and by came two beeres oute of the foreste and tore in peces two fourtye of them Therefore let all men take hede as they mocke the priestes and ministers of God whome they are bounde to reuerēce both for Christes sake which sayth Whosoeuer dispiseth you dispiseth me and also for their office sake which is so necessarye for al mens helth and saluation And let them remēbre no more but this one example of Chrysostome who wryteth thus If a greate prince wold giue this aucthoritie to one of his seruauntes that he shuld deliuer out of prison whome he lyste whome he lyste shutte vppe in prison wolde not all menne and that not wythout good cause both feare him and reuerence hym to Howe then shuld men honour the priestes which hath aucthoritie by Christ kyng of all kynges committed vnto them to lowse mens sowles out of the fetters of sinne and agayne to bynd them as they see occasiō And the same writer sayeth in the same worke that we can neyther at our comyng into the worlde become Christen wythoute them nor at oure departynge out of the worlde receaue the blessed sacramentes of the aulter and aneyling without thē Whych thynges considered lette no man y e eyther loueth Christe whiche is the hyghe Prieste of all and the authour of priest hode or loueth hys owne soules helth and purposeth to be saued mocke the priestes leste they be worthelye punyshed therfore but reuerence them as Gods shepeherdes here in ●arth to whose cure mens soules are committed And although they see some of them eyther lacke good knowledge and learnynge or to be lyghte and lewde of behauioure yet muste they not contemne the office for the mens euyll lyuynge For yf the officers vnder a Prince be of noughtye conuersation we may not for that say their office is nought and disobeye the officers but as the princes officers humblye obeye them and as euyll lyuers hartely praye God to amende them But to returne to the Lutherans libertie y ● we talked of before was not al thinges through it brought so farre out of order that vice ruled vertue folishnes ruled wisdome lightnesse ruled grauitie and youth ruled age So that the olde mens saying was herein verified that when Antichrist shulde come the rootes of the trees shulde growe vpwarde Was there not beside such deadly dissention for our diuersitie in opinions that euen amōges those that were mooste verye deare frendes arose moste greuouse hatred For the sonne hated hys owne father the sister her brother the wyfe her husband the seruaunte hys mayster the subiect the ruler And in euery house at euery mans table in euery corner in euery strete at euerye tauerne and inne at all tymes was there suche vnreuerent reasonynge of Gods highe mysteries that those that mette together frēdes departed enemyes and sometymes were at daggers drawyng for the matter And then you shulde haue hearde thou Papiste and thou heretike And in a small number of yeares it came to passe that no neyghbour could loue another no man do for another no one agree wyth another Thus was the membres of Christes Churche by such deuelishe discorde miserably rent a sonder Which thinge deepely to thinke vpon wold make anye charitable mans harte to blede For if we shuld se before our eyes a mans bodye first to haue the heade cut of then the fingers and toes then the handes and fete after the legges and armes then the bowelles piteouslye pulled oute of the belye and last of all the rest of the bodye being thus mangled and maimed cut in small gobbets and peces woulde we not thinke it a sorowfull and lamentable spectable to behold and count these folkes very cruell butchers that thus cruelly had handled it How muche then ought we to lament when we se y e churche which S. Paule calleth y e bodie of Christ ▪ thus by debate strife rufully rent so māgled with mischeuous heresye that the beauty therof is in maner vtterly defaced Might not we well say thus with the holy prophete Hieremye Let our eyes neuer cease from wepinge night nor daye because the virgin and doughter of my people is wonderfully brused and al to broken in peces and a mooste miserable plage fallen vpon her But now to make a brefe rehersal of the other noughty fruytes y t came of thys loose libertye begon not the authours of it first with the basest ceremonies in the Churche and abolished them they coulde not tell why and after went forth still euen to the greatest mistery of our fayth and at length made vp their mischiefe with the takinge away of those For first they dyd forbyd holy bread and holy water to be vsed any longer two very godly and liuely ceremonyes thone to put vs in remembraunce that as those peces of breade be all of one loafe so we be all mēbers of one body y e is to say of the catholike churche and kni●●e together in one fayth and one charitie the other to cause vs to call to mynde the passion of Christ with whose blessed bloud we are sprinckled wasshed from the fylthines of synne And then they commaunded Images to be plucked downe in euery churche which put vs in memorye of the holy lyues of confessours martyrs and virgins yea and they were not so contented but they would haue the Image of our sauiour Iesus Christ likewise spitefully to be hurled downe and eyther with fire to be burned or with instrumentes broken all in peces And some sinfull wretches were there that digged vp and ouerthrewe the crosses in highe wayes whiche were sette vp partly to make men that passed by remember Christes death and passion and partly to shewe them the right way that knew not the same Who I pray you would thinke that these folkes bare any good affection to our sauiour Christ which could neither abide his Image nor the holsome Signe of hys crosse For like as if a man shuld come into the kinges palaice and first rashelye pull downe the kinges armes then breake them in peces and after tread them vnder his fete no man woulde suppose that such one loued

another as she loueth vs all care one for another as she careth for vs all loue al godly vertue as she loueth it flye from all vice as she doth to be short fashyon our lyfe to her lyfe in all poyntes
