¶ A PITHTHY NOTE to Papists all and some that ioy in Feltons Martirdome Desiring them to read this and to iudge not in spite at simple truth to grudge Set foorth by one that knew his life and was with him at the houre of his death which was the viii of August Anno. 1570 at the West end of Paules Churche ouer against the Bishops gate where he set vp the Bul. IMPRINTED AT LONDON at the long Shop adioining vnto Saint Mildreds Church in the Pultrie the xxiii of August by John Allde LOng leuitie abusde at lēgth dooth lend deserued hire whē mercy ouer moou'd with vice gins kīdle Iustice ire ¶ As now may wel discerned be Unto the smart of such As heaped by vnfruteful hope and pitie proou'd to much ¶ But so it is when follyes flud makes wisdom lowe at eb And where for harty looue such doo winde vp foule Treasons web ¶ As Felton fond hath surely felt for fault of treason hye So all wil vouch whose hartꝭ with God and Prince are not awrie ¶ And as the Nortons twain did taste of late for like offence Whom Iustcie paid by portion iust a righteous recompence ¶ Yet Felton past when wilful déed of his was wel descryed For why he neuer blushe for shame nor much the same denyed ¶ The Bul bewitch this caluish braine And Pius his déer god Made him to bolde for his behoof to taste of such a rod. ¶ He durst presume good Catholick t' erect vp forraine power And Subiects faithful hartꝭ now wel by flattery to deuoure ¶ As though at once all Englād would haue shrūk at Pius curse And that the Childe at strangers beck would leaue his painful nurse ¶ Theblessing of the Pope he thought would sure haue take such place That English men with Cap and knée would straight the same imbrace ¶ What ment be els to fix the Bul on Bishops Pallaice gate But that he thought by somes return to mend his owne estate ¶ But English men God haue the praise wish rather his curse stil Then with his blessing to receiue bothe soule and bodyes il ¶ Gods curse dooth light where he dooth blesse as Malachi dooth rel As Felton and and the rest haue tried which seru'd the Pope ful wel ¶ But Papists say they are moste blest for dying in his cause Because he wil their soules redéem from hel and Sathans clawes ¶ And Felton chée fly they commend For his coragious minde Which vnto Pope and holy Church didshew him self so kinde ¶ Wherfore a blessed Martyr they doo rightly him confesse Which mooues me moste for vertues sake to prooue him nothing lesse ¶ For eu'ry kinde of death dooth not deserue a Martyrs name But many sundry deaths doo bring the dyers endles shame ¶ All Theeues and Murderers that dye all Fellons cast by law All Traitors and all Hereticks which GOD nor man doo 〈◊〉 ¶ Are not by death of theirs in count of Martyrs which doo dye Though Papists brag that he is one but giue them leaue to lye ¶ The death dooth not the Martyr make but sure the righteous cause When Tirants force the righteous hart to violate Gods lawes ¶ When Infidelles depraue the truthe and Christians it maintain In giuing of their bloods for it they win the Martyrs gain ¶ Ignatius wan the noble crown of martirdom y tho Cassianus and Laurence they did win the same also ¶ Saint Stephen and Saint Peter they wan Martyrs gain by right So did Maturus and the rest that suffred for the light ¶ whose liues by truthe were soūdly led whose ends did shew no lesse whose māers were vpright whose faith did perfit looue expresse ¶ But Feltons life did shew in fine he did no Martyrs fact For exitus acta probat the exit tries the act ¶ A roisting shifting Prodigall so he his time did spend Which sought of eu'ry one to haue that able was to lend ¶ The Psalmist in his Psalmes dooth paīt out Felton very plain The wicked man borowes saith he and payeth not again ¶ Of modestie in maners he was séen to be ful scant And of Religious minde no dout he had a dayly want ¶ As for deuoutnes in his dayes yea after his owne sorte He neuer moild his sprites with prayer his hart was set on sport ¶ A Papists hart he had not sure for Papists are deuout Although their zele doo knowledge lack in that they go about ¶ For he ne zele ne knowledge had but droue to spend the time He past not with what kinde of men nor of what kinde of cryme ¶ So he by flattering might obtain to liue by others sweat Ne Lands he had ne hands did séek to get the bread he eat ¶ But héer there with Thrasoes brood the simple to deride But chéef a scoffer of Gods woord as often he was tride ¶ A Plesemē right which seru'd the time though fed with Romish hope And now beholde the Saint he seru'd hath blest him with a Rope ¶ A foole bewitcht he was of some who w̄atcht the falling Skies And lookt for Larkes but purpose mist his flesh must féed the Flyes ¶ An irreligious Traitor was this Felton trust me true A fit resembler in our time of Eleazar the Iew. ¶ Companion with Ichocanan nay Schimions equal mate Which sought Iherusalem to spoils by their discentious bate ¶ And as for any signe that was in him of godly feare His moste licencious life did shew his hart came neuer there ¶ That his very end whereas he saw it would not bée But that he must as Traitor rank go scale the Gallow trée ¶ Then fear of death gan prick his flesh whiche wicked men dooth touch Whē their sleause their cōscsēce pricks and burthens them comuch ¶ As Caïn and Iudas ouer fraid with Gods eternal ire Yet some wil say that Felton did Gods mercy then desire ¶ In déed in Popish sort he shewd him self then to telent But who can say he shewd such faith as made him right repent ¶ Of wandring faith he shewd sōe taffe as Papists vse to holde That Christe their sauior is in parte but faith was not be bolde ¶ In him that made him then to say Christe is my sauiour Ne that he trusted only sure saluation by his power ¶ Ne cald he back his sclandero ' woords he spake against Gods truthe Ne did gainsay his traiterous blast before bothe age and youth ¶ Which he had spoke agaist our Queen before in Iudgement hall But only for this fact heer doon her mercy I doo call ¶ said he for this offence of mine héer doon that she forgiue But from the rest against her power and Throne he did not méene ¶ He had before denide her grace our lawful Queen to bée And of her Supreme power he said she ought not haue it shée ¶ Oh traiterous hart oh Martyr vile such Martyrs now a dayes Would fain be made to Morter thin to stop the hollow wayes ¶ He neuer
