A04923	The appellation of Iohn Knoxe from the cruell and most iniust sentence pronounced against him by the false bishoppes and clergie of Scotland, with his supplication and exhortation to the nobilitie, estates, and co[m]munaltie of the same realme.	Knox, John, ca. 1514-1572.; Gilby, Anthony, ca. 1510-1585. An admonition to England and Scotland.; Kethe, William, d. 1608?	1558 (1558)	STC 15063; ESTC S106719	70,824	162

hear_v thy_o cause_n and_o decern_v in_o the_o same_o the_o controversy_n stand_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n thou_o be_v accuse_v as_o a_o apostatat_fw-la from_o the_o law_n as_o a_o violator_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o transgressor_n of_o the_o tradition_n of_o be_v father_n in_o which_o matter_n i_o be_o ignorant_a and_o therefore_o desire_v information_n by_o those_o that_o be_v learn_v in_o the_o same_o religion_n whereof_o the_o question_n be_v and_o yet_o do_v thou_o refuse_v so_o many_o godly_a father_n to_o hear_v thy_o cause_n and_o doestappeale_v to_o the_o emperor_n prefer_v he_o to_o all_o our_o judgement_n of_o no_o purpose_n belike_o but_o to_o delay_v tyme._n thus_o i_o say_v it_o may_v have_v appear_v that_o paul_n do_v not_o only_a injury_n to_o the_o judge_n and_o to_o the_o preeste_n but_o also_o that_o his_o cause_n be_v great_o to_o be_v suspect_v partly_o for_o that_o he_o do_v refuse_v the_o judgement_n of_o those_o that_o have_v most_o knowledge_n as_o all_o man_n suppose_v of_o god_n will_v and_o religion_n and_o partly_o because_o he_o appeal_v to_o the_o emperor_n who_o then_o be_v at_o rome_n far_o absent_a from_o jerusalem_n a_o man_n also_o ignorant_a of_o god_n and_o enemy_n to_o all_o virtue_n but_o the_o apostle_n consider_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o what_o thing_n they_o have_v intend_v against_o he_o even_o from_o the_o first_o day_n that_o he_o begin_v free_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n cause_n do_v not_o fear_v to_o appeal_v from_o they_o and_o from_o the_o judge_n that_o will_v have_v gratify_v they_o they_o have_v profess_v then selue_o plain_a enemy_n to_o christ_n jesus_n and_o to_o his_o bless_a euangill_n and_o have_v soght_v the_o death_n of_o paul_n yea_o even_o by_o faction_n and_o treasonable_a conspiracy_n and_o therefore_o by_o no_o mean_n will_v he_o admit_v they_o either_o judge_n in_o his_o cause_n either_o auditor_n of_o the_o same_o as_o festus_n require_v ground_v but_o ground_v himself_o upon_o strong_a reason_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o have_v not_o offend_v the_o jew_n neither_o yet_o the_o law_n but_o that_o he_o be_v innocent_a and_o therefore_o that_o no_o judge_n oght_v to_o geve_v he_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o enemy_n ground_v i_o say_v his_o appellation_n upon_o these_o reason_n he_o neither_o regard_v the_o displeasure_n of_o festus_n neither_o yet_o the_o brute_n of_o the_o ignorant_a multitude_n but_o bold_o do_v appeal_v from_o all_o cognition_n of_o they_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o emperor_n as_o say_v be_v by_o these_o two_o example_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o your_o honour_n do_v understand_v that_o lawful_a it_o be_v to_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n oppress_v by_o tyramnie_n to_o seek_v remedy_n against_o the_o same_o be_v it_o by_o appellation_n from_o their_o sentence_n or_o by_o implore_v the_o help_n of_o civil_a magistrate_n for_o what_o god_n have_v approve_v in_o jeremie_n and_o paul_n he_o can_v condemn_v in_o none_o that_o likewise_o be_v e●●reated_v i_o may_v allege_v some_o history_n of_o the_o primative_a church_n serve_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n as_o of_o ambrose_n and_o athanasius_n of_o who_o the_o one_o will_v not_o be_v judge_v but_o at_o milan_n where_o that_o be_v doctrine_n be_v hard_o of_o all_o his_o church_n and_o receive_v and_o approu●d_v by_o many_o and_o the_o other_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a geve_v place_n to_o those_o councile_v where_o he_o know_v that_o man_n conspire_v against_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n shall_v sit_v in_o judgement_n and_o consultatione_n but_o because_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n be_v my_o only_a fundation_n and_o assurance_n in_o all_o matter_n of_o weight_n and_o importance_n i_o have_v think_v the_o two_o former_a testimony_n sufficient_a aswell_o to_o prove_v my_o appellation_n reasonable_a and_o just_a as_o to_o declare_v to_o your_o honour_n that_o with_o safe_a conscience_n you_o can_v not_o refuse_v to_o admit_v the_o same_o if_o any_o think_v it_o arrogancy_n or_o foolishness_n in_o i_o to_o compare_v myself_o with_o jeremie_n and_o paul_n let_v the_o same_o man_n understand_v that_o as_o god_n be_v immutable_a so_o be_v the_o verity_n of_o his_o glorious_a euangill_n of_o equal_a dignity_n person_n whensoever_o it_o be_v impugn_a be_v the_o membre_n suffer_v never_o so_o weak_a what_o i_o think_v touch_v my_o own_o person_n god_n shall_v reveal_v when_o the_o secret_n of_o all_o heart_n shall_v be_v disclose_v and_o such_o as_o with_o who_o i_o have_v be_v conversant_a can_v partly_o witness_v what_o arrogancy_n or_o pride_n they_o espy_v in_o i_o but_o touch_v the_o doctrine_n and_o cause_n which_o that_o adulterous_a and_o pestilent_a generation_n of_o antichrists_n seruamt_n who_o be_v call_v byshoppe_n among_o you_o have_v conden_v in_o i_o i_o neither_o fear_v nor_o shame_n to_o confess_v and_o avow_v before_o man_n and_o angel_n to_o be_v the_o eternal_a truth_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n and_o in_o that_o case_n i_o doubt_v not_o to_o compare_v myself_o with_o any_o menbre_n in_o who_o the_o truth_n have_v be_v impugn_a sense_n the_o beginning_a for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n which_o jeremie_n do_v preach_v in_o these_o word_n the_o preeste_n have_v not_o know_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n but_o the_o pastor_n have_v traitorous_o decline_v and_o fall_v back_o from_o i_o 2._o the_o prophet_n have_v prophesy_v in_o baal_n 1_o and_o have_v go_v after_o those_o thing_n which_o can_v not_o help_v my_o people_n have_v leave_v the_o fontaine_n of_o live_a water_n and_o have_v dig_v to_o themselves_o pit_n which_o can_v contain_v no_o water_n as_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o the_o pastor_n and_o watchman_n in_o the_o day_n of_o isaie_n be_v become_v dumb_v dog_n blind_a ignorant_a 56._o proud_a and_o avaricious_a and_o final_o as_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o preeste_n be_v murderer_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 4._o and_o cruel_a persecutor_n of_o his_o apostle_n so_o likewise_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n and_o that_o most_o infallible_a that_o those_o that_o have_v condemn_v i_o the_o hole_n rabble_n of_o the_o papistical_a clergy_n have_v decline_v from_o the_o true_a faith_n 4._o have_v give_v ear_n to_o deceavable_a spirit_n and_o to_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n be_v the_o star_n fall_v from_o the_o heaven_n to_o the_o

further_o as_o that_o visible_a church_n have_v no_o crime_n where_o of_o just_o they_o can_v accuse_v either_o the_o prophet_n either_o the_o apostle_n except_o their_o doctrine_n only_o so_o have_v not_o such_o as_o seek_v my_o blood_n other_o crime_n to_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n except_o that_o i_o affirm_v as_o always_o i_o offer_v to_o prove_v note_v that_o the_o religion_n which_o now_o be_v maintain_v by_o fire_n and_o sword_n be_v no_o less_o contrarious_a to_o the_o true_a religion_n teach_v and_o establish_v by_o the_o apostle_n then_o be_v darkness_n to_o light_n or_o the_o devil_n to_o god_n and_o also_o that_o such_o as_o now_o do_v claim_v the_o title_n and_o name_n of_o the_o church_n be_v no_o more_o the_o elect_a spouse_n of_o christ_n jesus_n then_o be_v the_o synagoge_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n what_o time_n it_o crucify_v christ_n jesꝰ_n damn_v his_o doctrine_n and_o persecute_v his_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o see_v that_o my_o battle_n be_v against_o the_o proud_a and_o cruel_a hypocrite_n of_o this_o age_n as_o that_o battle_n of_o those_o most_o excellent_a instrument_n be_v against_o the_o false_a prophet_n and_o malignant_a church_n of_o their_o age_n neither_o ought_v any_o man_n think_v it_o strange_a that_o i_o compare_v myself_o with_o they_o with_o who_o i_o sustain_v a_o common_a cause_n neither_o ought_v you_o my_o lord_n judge_v yourselves_o less_o addet_v and_o bind_v to_o i_o call_v for_o your_o support_n than_o do_v the_o prince_n of_o juda_n think_v then selue_o bind_v to_o jeremie_n who_o for_o that_o time_n they_o delive_v red_a notwithstanding_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n ꝓnounce_v against_o he_o by_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o right_n of_o my_o
