A13103	A motiue to good workes Or rather, to true Christianitie indeede. Wherein by the waie is shewed, how farre wee are behinde, not onely our fore-fathers in good workes, but also many other creatures in the endes of our creation: with the difference betwixt the pretenced [sic] good workes of the Antichristian Papist, and the good workes of the Christian Protestant. By Phillip Stubbes, Gentleman.	Stubbes, Phillip.	1593 (1593)	STC 23397; ESTC S111359	64,680	234

sayd God forbidde that I should laie violent handes vppon the Lordes annoynted The Apostle Paul was indued with another spirite when he sayde Omnis anima potestatibus supereminentibas subdita sit Let euerie soule hee sayth not one soule or some soules but euerie soule bee subiecte to the higher powers his reason for there is no power but of GOD the penaltie or dannger of those that doo resist and those that doo resist sayth hee the power they resist the ordinaunce of GOD and purchase to themselues eternall damnation Then I woulde aske these murthering Papists if they that doe but resist the power doe purchase to thēselues damnation both of bodie and soule oh then what doo they purchase that not onely doo resist but also murther and kill the Lords annoynted And yet theyr delight is in nothing so much as to imbrue theyr cruell handes in the bloud of kings and princes For example What Emperours haue they poysoned yea in the verie wine of the challice What Kings and Princes what Peeres and Nobles haue they most cruelly murthered in sundrie partes of the worlde Did they not most trayterously murther the good Prince of Orenge with a dagge The late famous King of France with a double poisoned knife by the subornation of a Iacobine Frier Doe they not now also by all meanes possible by all plots and deuises seeke and practise the death of him who at this present is the most lawfull king of France Haue they not murthered two or three of the late kinges of Scotland And to come neerer home Haue they not practised attempted the murthering of our gracious soueraigne Queene Elizabeth by infinite waies meanes and by innumerable plots and deuises As first by sending in a number of Iesuites and seminary priests starke roagues and plaine traytors into her Maiesties realme to withdrawe the heartes of the people from theyr allegeance and to raise vp warres and commotions in euerie place And when these deuises and driftes dyd not take effect according vnto theyr expectation then they suborned and hired a sort of desperate graceles and reprobate villaynes to kill her Maiesties royall person as namely Parry Sommeruile Arden Throgmorton Babington with 13. moe of his collegues and confederates besides many moe which heare to recite were but superfluous All whiche notwithstanding Gods name be praysed for it receyued such condigne punishments for theyr deserts as I pray God all Traytors against their Prince and Cuntrey may do They hould it also for a principall good worke and of great merite to take armor and to rayse vp warres for the mayntenance inlarging and augmenting of their pretenced conterfeite Catholike Church or rather most diuelish antichristian synagogue of Sathan And therefore is the Pope with his Cardinals Abbots Friers Monks and all other consorts of that viperous generation sworne at their creation that they shall to the vttermost of theyr powers defend mayntayne and inlarge as they falssely call it Saint Peters patrimonie And to this end doth the Popes vnholie holynes sende abroade hys bandogges the Cardinalles hys curre dogges the Abbots and Monkes and his spanyels the sneaking Friers into euery cuntrey to perswade Kings and Princes to take Armes agaynst such and such for such and such causes as he hymselfe shall frame in the forge of hys owne brayne And the better to effect hys purpose hee sends them eyther some lowsye indulgence or else some beggerly pardon or other in a Bull of leade and that of all their sinnes for euer or else hee sends them some scalde relique or other and if that wyll not serue sometymes he sends them a goodly oyntment called rubrum vnguentum which wyll worke more then all the rest And when hee hath thus set them together by the eares then commes hee as a rauenous Gripe and deuoures eyther the one or both of them at hys pleasure And thus rageth hee euery where through-out Christendome so that in my conscience the Pope with the rest of hys broode are the very authors of all the warres and bloudshead in all Europe at thys present and that for the inlarging forsooth of Saint Peters Patrimonye What warres hath hee raysed heeretofore in Spayne What warres hath hee and at thys present doeth hee manage and maynteyne in the Kingdome of Fraunce in Flaunders and in the lowe cuntreys in Germany in Italy and sundry other places of the world it is vnpossible to number the infinit millions of Gods saints that he hath murthered and beene author of theyr murthers what warres he hath raysed what tumults he hath caused what rebellions insurrections and commotions he hath stirred vp throughout all Christendome and all to maynteyne his paunch his honor his glory his renowne his dignitie and estimation in the world And yet all will not serue for thanks be to God he cums tumbling downe euery day And the more he striues to be honored and magnified in this world the more is he hated of God and detested of men The Pope and Papists also accoumpt it a good worke to set vp stewes and brothell houses whether euery man may resort at his pleasure and that sana conscientia with a safe conscience as they say and inioy his whore or whores as many as he list and no man may say blacke is his eye or Domine cur ita facis because forsooth the Pope hath dispensed with him in a wanyon And as though this were no sinne but rather a good worke for so he and they all accompt it indeede he tollerateth Buggery Sodometry and other filthy sinnes for money which are not once to be named amongst the children of God And this is his reason Is it not better sayth this vile beast for me to tollerate them receyuing yearely a million or two of gould for them towards the maintenance of the Church or rather his owne carren carkasse than they to commit them secretly without my tolleration I receyuing nothing therfore But how light soeuer they esteeme of whoredome the word of God condemneth both it and the doers thereof to hell Was not Sodoma and Gomorrha consumed with fire and brimstone from heauen for this filthie sinne of whoredome buggery and yet thinke they to escape free The whole world eyght persons only excepted was drowned in that great and vniuersall deluge for the same sinne of whoredome The citie of the Sichemites was wholy destroyed and put to the sword for the same sinne also There were slayne of the Beniamites in one day 25000. for the defiling of a Leuites wife Zimri and Cosbi were both slayne for their whoredome together by Phinehas whose fact so pleased God that hee turned away hys wrath from the rest of the people that they were not destroyed Besides examples the Apostle Paule sayth that neither whoremongers adulterers nor incestuous persons shall enter into the kingdome of heauē The Apostle Iohn saith mariage is honorable amongst all mē and the bed vndefiled but whoremongers and adulterers God
