A08119	Norfolkes furies, or a view of Ketts campe necessary for the malecontents of our time, for their instruction, or terror; and profitable for euery good subiect, to incourage him vpon the vndoubted hope of the victorie, to stand faithfully to maintayne his prince and countrey, his wife and children, goods, and inheritance. With a table of the maiors and sheriffes of this worshipfull city of Norwich, euer since the first grant by Henry the fourth: together with the bishops of that see, and other accidents here. Set forth first in Latin by Alexander Nenil. Translated into English, for the vse of the common people, by R.W. minister at Frettenham in Norfolke, and a citizen borne, who beheld part of these things with his yong eyes.; De furoribus Norfolciensium Ketto duce.

and Countriemen Wherefore you my brethren of the Ministerie let vs not weaken our selues among our selues while we bitterly contend about matters of Circumstance but let the rule of the Apostle take place among vs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not and let not him which eateth not iudge him that eateth for the Kingdome of God standeth not in these things If any man thinke otherwise God shall reucale it vnto him but let vs ioyne together in loue Vis vnita fortior And let the earnest suit of the Apostle be heard and preuaile with vs that nothing bee done of contention or of vaine glotie but follow the truth in loue If any man list to be contentious we haue no such custome neyther the Churches of God Let not the vniust challenge of the P●pists be found true among vs at the last that we agree not among our selues although of all men they might w●rst haue said it that haue so mary Sects among them for how shall wee draw the people to vnitie while our selues or at oddes and one brother smiteth another Againe you my Countrymen and naturall borne English Subiects be not deceiued by the subtiltie of Popish Iesuites and th●●r Fa●ourites which make it no matter of Conscience to set at libertie naturall Subiects from true obedience to their Li●ge Princes and to take vp Armes against them Yea perswade it meritorious to lay violent hands and take away the li●es of the Lords Anointed that they may not bee vnlike themselues a Bl●udie Generation whose Kingdome standeth only by bloud But lo●k● thou vpon tho courtesie of Papists where they preuaile and learne to loue thine owne Coun●rey and naturall Gouernment for truly was it said of Augustus Caesar of one who had ●led from Anthonie and b●●sted much of his great Facts for Caesar at the Table Proditionem amo Proditores non item I loue Treason but I commend not Traytors And let this bee a caueat vnto thee And suffer not a conceit of thy Religion and of Rome to carrie thee against the Commandement of God for God hath not allowed at any time the breach of his Royall Law neyther hath hee giuen any one Commandement to tolerate the breach of another as the Pope would perswade To ioyne with thy naturall Princes enemie is monstrous and against his Commandement yea though they were euil Wherefore feare him that hath power to cast thy bodie and soule into hell and feare not the Bugge of Rome whose Buls are but Lead and his Thund●rb●lts feathered at the wrong end which returneth vpon the Discharger whose cursings are turned into blessings as this Land witnesseth and her Maiestie which neuer prospered better then since he beganne to curse And make vse of this Historie where thou shalt see the end of such as take vp Armes against their Prince and Countrey Moreouer you that are faithfull Subiects to his Maiestie incourage you your hearts and strengthen your hands and furnish your selues willingly for the confidence of a good cause is great as hauing God not an idle Beholder but an effectuall worker which teacheth our hands ●o warre and our fingers to figh● which giueth Victorie to Kings and helpeth his Anoi●ted vnto whom it is all one if we respect himselfe to obtaine Victorie with few or no power And feare not rayling Rabshake nor so●tish Sennacharib for there are more with vs then are with them with them is an arme of flesh but with vs is the Lord of Hosts to fight our Battailes Wherefore be valiant my good Countriemen and fight with your God for his worship for your Countrey your King your selues your Wiues Children and inheritances and make vse of this Booke where you shall see the truth preuaile and Rebels receiue their iust hire And now you Male-contents which desire a change or disturbance of States and watch for such oportunities that you might be ryfling and inuert all order thinking thereby to become Lords and to make the Noble and Honourable vile and care not what come or who come so you might bee scuffling settle your selues in some honest calling that you may liue by the sweat of your owne browes being blessed of God For you that now promise your selues golden hils shall as you may perceiue in this Historie find that you are but in a golden dreame drenched in all filthinesse And you that couet to flie so high with Icarus shall fall shamefully by an Hempen String and take heed lest as you may finde beere by experience being carried with an idle hope and the vaine promises of some you bind not your selues aforehand or enter too far for you cannot get out when you would They that are in Authoritie are to be admonished as they doe to looke vnto the beginnings Sero medicina paratur Dum mala per longas inv●luere horas Thus Gentle Reader lest I should increase the Volume too much I commend thee to God and the guiding of his Grace to establish thy heart in true obedience first towardes his Maiestie next towardes our Soueraigne Lord King Iames in all bodily dutie And if you receiue any fruit of my labour my paines is recompensed Let God haue the whole prayse and helpe me with thy Prayers Who of his infinite mercie conuert or soone confound his Maiesties enemies establish his Scepter in his hand and the Crowne vpon his head that he may triumph ouer all his and our Enemies in this life and may after life remaine and raigne in the Kingdome of his Saints for euer Amen Farewell Gentle Reader thy poore brother in Christ R. W. Minister at Frettenham in Norfolke ALEXANDER NEVILL OF THE FVRIES OF NORFOLKE vnder Captaine Kette I Would haue wished verily that those popular sturres and seditious stormes wherewith our Country in the dayes of King Edward the sixth was smitten and afflicted by the villany and the treacherie of beastly men had either neuer happened or if it could be the remembrance of them were vtterly rooted out of the minds of all men But because things past cannot bee altered or changed and this staine of treason branded in the forehead of our Countrey by pernicious Citizens setteth deeper in the name of the people of Norfolke to the perpetual remembrance of that wickednesse then can be vtterly blotted out or altogether taken away I easily yeeld to the committing this Story to writing that all men may perceiue from what beginning these so great tumults did arise and by what meanes at the length they were suppressed and may perfitly vnderstand those wounds and seditious villanies to haue been brought vpon our Country not by good and valiant persons but printed vpon her by the routs of most desperate and vngratious men This surely is euident to all that an incredible gaine commeth to posteritie by the knowledge of such things and no doubt great fruit shall good men reape if they giue diligent heed to the instructious of these examples and make vse of them in
