and holesome foode We pray that we may once see euery title destroyed whatsoeuer it be either in ciuill respect or ecclesiasticall that hath or shall any way threaten her Maiesties danger that hath or shall any way clayme the crounerom frm her hed or her power out of her hand that hath or shall seke any dispossession of her estate and the inuasion of her land specially the titles and lewd hopes of Romish Popes that haue by notorius wickednesse excedyng the olde Romane Emperours shewed them selues vnmete to lyue among Christian people much lesse to gouerne them that haue by murrible and vnnaturall murders and hoactise of poysoning and other mischieues shewed that them selues and their Papistes are not to be wonne with kindenesse to be true to the Queene that could not be holden by nature from slaughter of t●eir own as by many euident histories appeareth yea where their treason may be rewarded with a kingdome yea with the kingdome of heauen those fained and wicked titles we say of Romish vsurpation that haue interrupted the blessed yea●e which we haue so long enioyed that haue drawen into conspiracie alliance knottes of fauour those of whom her Maiestie hath well deserued that hath armed the rebell against lour most good swete soueraigne Ladies life croune and dignitie and put weapon in traytors handes to cut true subiectes throtes and vtterly to destroy the wealth safetie and honor of England We pray that we may see when those that shall wrest or procure to change law to erect the courage of any dangerous Viper to such endes or to any aspiring hope of preuenting and vndermining vnder whatsoeuer colour name pretēce or shew in proclamation or otherwise or to the safegard of their persones that haue so attempted may be declared and executed as enemies to this estate and to the Quenes safety We pray that we may se such laws prouided for her highnesses preseruation the same so executed without restraint or slacknesse for any respect as the hope of Papistes such as be enemies to God the Quéene and the realme may if they repent not be cut of for euer We pray to liue to sée that none may haue place office nor accesse into her Maiesties court nor houshold no nor once to her presence that shall not be well knowen to fauour both God and her so far as any circumspection and policie may prouide it We pray God that we may once sée the administration yea and studie of law and iustice wholly taken from those that shall not be knowen to fauour the law of God and to acknowledge her Maiesties right that is head of law and iustice in the realme We pray God that her Maiestie and her Counsell may haue such particular knowledge of men that her enemies may be weakened and her frendes strengthned al auantages vsed for her safetie all neutrall aduises suspected for surtle vnderminings We trust it wil be so for God hath not drawen these late mischiefes into light for nothing But afore all thinges we pray God to send vs true repentance more ioyfull receiuing of his Gospel and more vertuous ensuing it least as we lost our best king with liuing ill so we may lose our best Quene with liuing worse And that therewith it may please him to direct all the doinges of her Maiestie and Counsell to procéede in their good aduauncing his glorie and preseruation of the state which without ielous circumspection for preseruing the Queenes most royall person can not be done and that such good meanes and prouisions as God offereth to that end be not refused or neglected which were to tempt God to forsake his cause to betray our noble Prince and to geue away or rather cast away the realme These be the dayly and nightly prayers of good subiectes And while we busie our selues with these praiers we do after our principall confidence in Godes goodnesse rest our selues vpon the trust of her Maiestie and her most honorable Counsell for whom we prayse God and to them we referre the guiding of vs and ours ready to follow them when we are commaunded with the vttermost of our power and perill knowing how they spare not their vttermost endeuour and perill with susteyning the most vnpleasant life God wot that may be for our sakes for our quiet profite and defense Consider these thinges ye that haue bene and haue not yet ceased to be such Papistes remember how in that state ye be neither true Christian men nor true English men wherby if ye repent not you are not worthy to liue in the kingdome of England and you are sure not to come in the kingdome of Heauen Let euery good thing moue you to truth and to your prefitte Let euery euill thing fray you from treason from eternall vndoing Learne religion of God alone render your allegeance to your prince alone liue in bond of countrey with English men alone Acknowledge how God hath sent his truth to shine vpon you her maiestie hath poured all benefites of her good gouernaunce among you her true subiectes desire euery way both in soule and body to be comfortable to you Put of onely the cankerd affection or rather passion of inhumanitie Doo but once come home from those articles that can not stand with out treason to the prince and state bynde not your selues your soules and fayth to the authoritie of any mortall and sinfull man geue euer infinitly to God resort faythfully to him pray deuoutely to him to shew you his truth by his owne worde And so I dout not but hauing once forsaken foreine subiections and being once so farre vnpapisted that ye may come into the number of true subiectes for the rest God shall accord vs and shall reueale vnto you sinceritie of all truth in time and in such time as shall be the greatest comfort that euer you felt in your liues And so yet till other errors be purged by Gods grace working by the hearing of his word we shall al goe vnder the gentle yoke of our naturall soueraigne there let vs draw louingly together and then saye and sing merily God spede the ploughe of England Amen ¶ God saue our Queene

haue spent theyr bloudes to kepe wrong from hym and hys and dyd serue agaynst Papistrie it selfe till theyr treason and Papistrie was rype to be aduaunced Are not the great doers of thys last rebellion and conspiracie those of whom her Maiestie hath most well and bountifully deserued And yet while they were in her presence they were as desirous as any that be now about her to haue her Maiestie thinke of them as of good and faithful subiectes Yea when they were nere the execution of theyr treasons beyng suspected and examined therof denyed it and made vehement hye protestations with great othes of theyr purpose to the contrarie and theyr readynesse to subdue them that should breake the peace as in her Maiesties proclamation appeareth The successe of whoes doynges so shortly folowyng amounteth to as much as if they had playnly sayd what soeuer viser of faith whatsoeuer promysse of true allegeance what soeuer assurance of wordes what soeuer employeng them selues agaynst theyr owne partes till perfect readinesse what soeuer iudgyng and condemnyng of theyr owne faction beyng not yet strong enough Papistes do pretend it is to no other end but to insinuate them selues into fredome from mistrust and to draw her Maiesties eyes to looke an other way to bryng her into a securitie till the danger be vnauoidable as I trust it neuer shalbe if good subiectes sticke well together to her hyghnesse which shalbe so long as her Maiestie shall as she doeth sticke well to God her good subiectes not to suffer them to be dishabled to defend her Surely when Papistes are come so far that the wyfe can procure the murder of her husband the father of hys sonne the mother of her child the frend of hys dearest frend and so in all degrées of coniunction shall her Maiestie looke to haue clemencie and liberalitie requited with loyaltie at theyr hands that already bost that they receyue no clemencie or goodnesse of her but by theyr owne cunnyng meanes or by a superior enforcement And truly of this theyr great vnkyndnesse there is one great reason while Papistrie remayneth in them Earthly thynges must geue place to heauenlie and transitorie to eternall They esteme the voyce of the Pope as the voyce of the eternall God Whyle her Maiestie actually reigneth ouer them they suppose not them selues to lyue vnder her hyghnesse as subiectes but to be holden as captiues and so with all theyr fained shewe they beare to her a seruile reuerence euen altogether such as the bond Mores haue done to the Spanyardes and as Gardiner and hys fellowes dyd beare to kyng Henry the viij and to kyng Edward and my Lordes of Northumberland and Westmerland and theyr companie with these that haue dropped to them since or shall hereafter shrinke lykewise from her do beare to her selfe They are ready further at theyr God the Popes voyce whensoeuer they may be hable to shake of her yoke and gouernement with opinion of meritoriousnesse as the vyle Monke that tempered a tode for hys naturall kyng and as doctor Mackerell in tymes past and some other both then and since haue openly vttered Agayne where they suppose theyr auncesters and frendes soules for lacke of the helpe which the Quéene kepeth from them to lye in vnspeakeable peynes where also they suppose their owne soules to lacke their ghostly comfortes them selues to be cut from Gods church beyng seuered from the pope the hed thereof chiefly where they thinke not onely them selues but also theyr children and posteritie for euer to be by the settyng forth of this Religion which the Quenes hyghnesse auaunceth drawen into a continuall dangerous streame and vnrecouerable state of damnation And where all this whyle they are further persuaded as they must nedes be if they think the Romane church catholike the Pope the hed therof and the catholike church and the hed thereof to be preserued from possibilitie of error that by force of the Popes sentence and for schismaticall and vnrepentant swaruyng from hys church her Maiestie is not in Gods sight iust Quene of this realme with remembring how farre they thinke they may or ought when they dare to shonne her as a person excommunicate and to withdraw from her all ayde relief seruice and obedience is it trow you to be thought that such benefites as they receiue in clemencie and otherwise which yet they impute to Gods preseruing them for the holynesse of theyr cause or to theyr owne policies in deceiuyng her are hable to weye downe those depe and eternall considerations of miseries which they beleue them selues to sustayne by her meanes It is not possible beyng so persuaded of her right to the croune and of the Popes power ouer her croune and person as they be Whyle they thinke them selues true Israelites the chosen people of God and the Pope theyr Moses or rather Christ what accompt make they of the prince whom they serue other than as of Pharao or make they any more conscience of withdrawyng all duties from the Prince and theyr whole contrey than the Israelites dyd of robbyng the Egyptians how fayre soeuer they spake promysed or bound them selues when they borrowed theyr iewelles Many such examples haue ben seen in her Maiesties most noble progenitors dayes but most chiefely and most euidently in her owne Of lyke truth it is that Papistrie being an heresie or rather a bondle made vp of an infinite nomber of heresies must nedes haue the propertie of heresie to florish with indulgence and lenitie We sée the lyke example in the sect of Arrians which vnder hereticall Emperours excedingly encreasced and beyng ones condemned restrayned by punishment hath worne away to a few So farre as kyng Henry the viij went in reforming religion which was to abolish the primacie of Rome out of this realme a noble conquest with certaine grosse idolatries dyd not the seueritie of hys lawes the awe of hys person the dred of due execution so hold downe those partes of Papistrie which he suppressed that they durst not ones shew them selues in hys dayes and yet in the same tyme the greuous law of sixe Articles made agaynst Gods truth and sinisterly procured by Popish clergie nor yet the earnest inquirie nor cruell executyng of it by Byshops other could hold downe the truth of the Gospell but that it brake out more and more vpon them The reason is that Papistrie and Christian truth haue two seuerall endes truth respecteth heauen and Papistrie the world Wherby theyr aduentures enterprises are commonly diuerse the Papist dare boldly set vpon any mischief where he hath hope to auaunce hys falsehode The Christian dare constantly abyde any torment to geue witnesse of Gods truth And such qualitie of Gods truth haue the auncient fathers described when one of them calleth the bloud of Martyrs the water to water Gods garden an other sayth that they encreace with cuttyng downe and other in other maner haue expressed the same
