beholde the thing that may to yll encline Besides in Countrie language must he haue a perfite skill And remedie be had if that his wordes he vtter ill Nor onely in the vulgar tongue he must be throughly séene But also in the fountaynes swéete of Latine phrases cléene And taught the best Gramarians that olde or newe haue ben And read the purest wryters first as Cato teacheth him And heare the best least barbarousnesse do him in youth infect Which once a man he must forsake and vtterly reiect The Romane speach doth profite much as openly is séene Which of all other languages in Europe is the Quéene The auncient Romanes as they did their Empire large extende Vnto the frostie Northren pole where earth doth séeme to ende And to the flouds of Euphrates and mightie Parthians raigne To foote of loftie Atlas mount that doth the skies sustaine So was their tongue through all the worlde dispersed here and there And for their scepter and their sworde was reurenst eurye where For in this tongue the subiects all their aunswere euer had And all their prowde Edicts and lawes in this were likewise made And hitherto wheresoeuer the Empire large of Rome doth raigne In estimation is it had and honour great doth gaine Besides it famous is for holy bookes and woorkes prophane Wherein to haue no skill were to our husbandman a shame By this we tread the path that leades to eurye science hie Whereto by vulgar speach we neuer can approch so nie For this same cause and for the learnde and godly wryters sake That long tyme since in teaching Christ did paines and trauaile take Let him the Grecians tongue pervse and for the volumes graue Of Moyses and the Prophets olde the Hebrue let him haue And ioyne thereto the Chaldean speach the water that is shed Thorow many vessels cooles not so as doth the fountaynes hed Eche thing himselfe let him pervse and knowe the speach deuine And not depend on other men to preach as they assigne Therefore let him apply the tongues wherein were first enrolde ▪ The holy lawes that God did giue vnto our fathers olde And weigh the rules and title◠well and what eche worde doth mean◠Know perfitely that in the phrase he may be throughly séene For of the name a knowledge great in matters oft is found And fond it is for men to talke and not to know their ground Wherein a number great of men haue mooude the skilfull sort To laugh to scorne their ignorance whereof they made a sport For as in all things names and wordes doe greatly signifie So most of all in scriptures where both oft and commonly The letters small and little prickes doe misteries containe Which no good man will sleightly way or count as matters vaine The figures and the diuers tropes that in these speaches are Let him beside well vnderstand for oft the sense they marre That are vnskilfull in the same whereby they vtter lyes Vnto the simple common sort in stéede of verities Whence springs such heapes of errors nowe as at this day doe raigne ▪ Or hurly burlyes that do rage among the people vaine But onely that a great sort are so to the letters bounde As can no Metaphor allowe nor any figure sounde Of this must mischiefe néedes ensue no tropes yet I allow Except the text require the same or charitie auow For in the scripture certaintie the people must be taught And one thing still that they may know what good and what is naught Nor méete it is to force the phrase to senses many mo When nothing doth compell thée from the verie wordes to go Least things assurde be doubtfull made and charitie be broke Nor any phrase may iudged be by figure to be spoke Except the same in other place be open told and plaine For else to thinke a mysterie in figure hid is vaine That speach doth most delight the eares and winnes the peoples prayse That sundrie sortes is varied oft and turnde a thousand wayes But thou take héede thou dost not wrest the text out of his kinde Nor play with holy scriptures for to please thy foolish minde Which now is vsde of many men a dreadfull thing to sée Consider thou and ponder well what thing may méetest bée And profite most the common sort and rude vnruly traine Before that thou delight their eares or play with them in vaine Not onely olde Palaemons arte our husbandmen must haue But great Chrysippus cunning to and skill of Zeno graue Not therewithall to scolde or brawle as schoole men vse to play Or to beguile the simple sort and wipe the truth away But better to defend the dartes of deadly enimie Or for to breake the snares and ginnes of such as teach awrie For theirs it is aboue the rest to aunswere all men here That question mooue of faith and hope or doubtes that doe appere To kéepe their doctrine and their flocke agaynst the gréedie woolfe Now if they know the snares and trappes and depth of euery goolfe ▪ And easly can discerne the truth and falshood put away Then still the truth they shall preserue and neuer it betray Nor cause it to be iested at nor for to suffer wrong For if to mortall mysers here destruction doth belong That know not Christ the sauiour hie nor his religion pure What shall we of the teachers thinke whose want of skill procure Not to themselues alone but to a hundred thousand mo By error harme who led to hell by their perswasion go Who doubtes that reading of the workes of famous Cicero Is néedefull for our husbandman and well agréeing tho The art of speaking faire and plaine this méetest is to know The pleasant filed speach that from the learned breast doth flow The quick and well perswading tongue that knowes wel how to deale ▪ What matters secrete for to kéepe and what for to reueale And to obserue the chaunge of time the persons and the place This is the plowe of husbandmen that riddeth worke apace Let children out of order prate and people gape and gale It doth beséeme a preacher well by art to frame his tale Nor any thing against vs heare the minde of Paule doth make Nor yet vnlearned kinde of wordes that Christes Apostles spake Where diuers causes euer be as hath bene alwayes sayde Effects are diuers to be séene and to be thorowly wayde We may not therefore follow them in euery thing aright Since that our causes differ much and case is altred quight Who knoweth not that otherwise we alwayes ought to speake Vnto the learnde and skilfull sort than to the yong and weake The first beginnings of our fayth they did the Gentiles teach Which néeded not a filed phraise and curious tongue to preach But rather of the power of God to mooue them therevnto Wherefore the Lorde did giue them power great wonders for to do That might vnto the worde giue force though learning were away That thus perswaded to the fayth
all other to excell To sée the poore and fatherlesse and Widowes ordred well Lyke as the steppes of olde declare and late decrées haue tought But all things otherwise thou séest and topsie turuie brought Of Princes here the name they take and dreadfull titles hye They looke aloft and vnto worldly things themselues applye Regarding not the worde of Paule who byddes them this beware Great townes they haue and castles placed on Rockes that stately are And Lordships riche in hande they holde reuenewes great beside Which with the sworde they safely kéepe with the sworde they guide Himselfe vpon some loftie hill in Castle strong doth lye Farre of from preaching of the worde of God or peoples eye Whereas he lists he leades his lyfe and lyke a Prince doth raigne Appoynting for his deputies vnlearned men and vaine And graunting powre to bussardes blinde who spredde in euery place The counsels and decrées of Popes and with ill fauoured grace They bawle against all such as put their trust in Christ alone And thinke themselues redéemed by his death and others none While as this Prince and Bishop here all drownde in vaine delight And ouerwhelmde in worldly cares cannot regarde aright Th' affaires of Christ nor if he woulde he dares not busie bée Lest that he shoulde be periurde ralde and staynde with heresie And from his stately seate be cast with great reproch and shame By force of dreadfull oth constrainde in all things here to frame Himselfe according to the Pope and to defende his hedde His stately seate his lawes his fayth and orders publishedde And not a hearebred for to passe the steppes of custome olde By which the holyest father hie doth maintaine here and holde His supersticious vanities his mockries and deceat His foolysh fayth and beastly lyfe of shauen slouens great And all his other gewgawes here and trumpries on a heape Of which within my other bookes hereafter will I speake He knowes that lyes doth him sustaine and all his family And nothing gainefuller vnto the oyled company Then people kept in blindenesse still not knowing good nor right But ready alwayes to beléeue whatsoeuer they resight No Bishop therefore sworne vnto the Pope dare once apply Himselfe to preache the worde of Christ and doctrine perfitely Nor for to shew the people plaine the true vndoubted waye Nor alter supersticions nor take some parte awaye Although he know that many things are horrible and naught Ne will he suffer such as woulde the people well haue taught As late a reuerende Bishop olde began with vertuous minde To breake the darckned mistes of men and path of Christ to finde And saw what mischiefe vnder face of holynesse was wrought Wherefore disordred things to bring to better state he thought And diuers matters to amende that cleane contrarie were To God as worships orders and the guise of teaching here This matter was no sooner knowne but strayte the Monkish route Their lying dartes began to throwe and all the clargie stoute Put pen to booke the schoolemen eke a pace did sharpe their stings The Lawyers also sought to knowe the state of diuers things At length the matter came to Rome before the Popish seat Who seeing the harme might come thereby and what destruction great Vnto his kingdome calleth strayte a councell to him néere And cites the féeble aged man from countrie farre to appéere Whose cruell drift perceyuing hée and knowing well beside Their lewde demeanours and deceytes that earst he oft had tride And how they neuer coulde be brought to good or sober minde His Bishopricke he giueth vp and honours all resinde This thing woulde no man here haue done that had regarded more This worldly pompe and pleasures vaine then Christ and christian lore For eche man feares the Popish force and iudgement aye seuere And most of all applies himselfe with care and trauaile here In worde and déede to shew themselues good seruaunts for to be Vnto the Pope and furtherers of his supremacie And he that giues his minde to this how should he any wayes Assone deserue the truth or séeke of Christ the onely prayse When as he thinkes himselfe not bounde to God nor to his sonne For vnto them he hath not sworne as he before hath donne Vnto the Pope nor thinkes to haue by them commoditie What good vnto the people then or where in profits he That for to please doth teache vntruth and still defendeth it And townes and Cities onely guides and preacheth not a whit Nor suffers others truth to teache nor any thing at all That to a Bishop doth belong but in his princely hall Doth leade a slouthfull easie lyfe we know not perfectly But wonderfull it seemeth sure that holynesse should lye Within such ydle drowsie showes for thus for to excell In pleasures Cities fayre to builde defende and furnish well Great horse to kéepe and many men in liuerie riche arayde To hunt and hawke and looke aloft and make poore men afrayde The Turke and euery worldly Prince as well as they doe this Dost thou suppose that this will serue or else sufficient is That on some Holy dayes they serue the Lord in solemne guise Therein doth passing pompe appeare and hurlyburly rise And for the people goodly game th'unskilfull youth resortes And fast with mazed mindes they runne to sée such goodly sportes The Bishop in the meane time is apparelde gorgiously And fouretéene sundrie garments doth he herein occupy Without the which he cannot doe his sacrifice at all Yea some must fiftéene on them haue beside their costly Pall. His Sandals first he putteth on of silke or veluet new And then his Amias and his Albe that hangeth to his shew Which doth in whitenesse passe the Swan that in the riuer fléetes A slender Gyrdle rounde about his loynes embracing méetes And eke about his necke a â—â—oale doth rounde in compasse sit The greatest part is wrought of silke of length and largenesse fit Which when vpon his blessed brest a crosse is ouerlayde It passeth downe and vnderneath his girdle fast is stayde Then puttes he on his Tunicle of purple colour bright And ouer that his Dalmatik a short sléeude garment light And then vpon his tender handes his Gloues he draweth on And many a costly stone in Kinges he weareth therevpon Then ouer all he puttes his Cope a garment straunge in sight Which lyke vnto the lothsome Tode behinde is shaped right With crosse depainted braue vpon his backe and eke his brest And after this his napkins white he ioyneth with the rest And rounde about his porkish necke his Pall of passing price He casteth on with hanging whoode and knot of fine deuice His forked Myter then he takes with golde and stones arayde From whence two labels hanging out behinde are ouerlayde Now last of all his Crostar staffe in hande he holdes vpright Whose crooked vpper part is deckt with golde and Iewels bright The rest with siluer garnisht is and plaited fine and neat
and worser aye by much They care for no man here beside nor make account of such As painefully doe write or teach especially if hée In any poynt doe swarue and from their maister disagrée Whom onely here they make their God as one that cannot lie Nor be deceyude in any poynt nor euer treade awrie He onely lookes not by the glasse nor shadowes here that lyes But all things openly discernes with more than Lynceus eyes Who if he any thing commend their prayses than excell And looke what he doth here mislike they damne it downe to hell And at an ynche they follow him and iumpe with him they go And euermore as he decrées there mindes are altred tho Of these men canst thou looke for good or faythfull husbandmen Imaginst thou that euer truth can be estéemde of them Or that they can vprightly teach he that from â—â—ftie raigne Of heauen came did not forbid his followers here in vaine No man on earth their maister or their father for to call For why he knewe in euery place were swarmes of doctors all Puft vp with pride by reason of the learning that they had Who chiefly sought for to aduaunce their owne deuices mad And cléerely doe deface the truth and here in euery thing To conquer all mens heartes and them vnto subiection bring Sith cleauing to one maister still doth make men soonest fall We neyther must our parents here nor friendes estéeme at all But onely Iesus as the Doctor chiefe we must obay As one that onely teacheth here the truth and perfite way This was the auncient fathers rule for this the writers newe Haue striuen long and plaine disclosde a lewde and lothsome crewe Of errors blinde wherein great learned men in time did stray Whereat I more doe muse why men should at this present day Allow this rule and vse it boldely towarde euery man When as the workes of writers newe and of the olde they scan Yet as if they in heauen should continually abide Of no man here they will be iudgde nor haue their matters tride But would be thought in euery thing to touch the perfite pinne Whose doings here to bring in doubt or to resist is sinne And taken for a deadly crime that néedeth sacrifice Whatsoeuer they teach must be deuourde with shut and closed eies If that thou doubt and that thy stomacke loth at diuers things Then hatred and defiance straight and hurly burly springs And daungers great doth thée awayte and prison hard at hand And death with cruell torments neare vnto thy head doth stand Thou happie art and eke thy birth hath fortune fauourde right If that thou mayste thy countrie leaue in poore and simple plight And is not this a foolishe rage and madnesse grosse and blinde Yet numbers great of fooles that doe accept this same they finde And binde themselues to all their toyes and farther with them go Estéeming all their dooings here as God had wilde it so Nor any thing herein they doubt and worse than Todes they hate All those that séeme to doubt thereof or speake against their state Euen as a loftie Pine they labour such to throwe to ground And worser than their maisters farre in all things are they found Therefore addict thy selfe to none but gather still the best And things that well agréeing be with worde of God exprest The other to the Doctor leaue or to his foolish bande Nor suffer him in sted of Golde to giue thée durtie sande But though the almightie Lorde hath here deliuered vnto men His holy worde with wryters store and worthie husbandmen Whereby the truth may well be knowne and Christ that doth redéeme And all men ought to learne and reade but chiefly such as méene To take the holy plough in hande and mindes in order bring Yet shalt thou not discerne the truth nor Christ the soueraigne king Except the holy ghost from hie instruct thy féeble minde And teach thée here the perâ—ite path and certaine way to finde Beholde in euery place what store of schooles are to be séene What numbers great of Doctors here whose learning men estéeme What companie of bookes and eke what care to learne and teach Yet emptie standes the Pulpet still and fewe of Christ do preach And fewe regarde to heare of him nothing is pure or cléene Nor of the holy ghost may any steps or path be séene The earthly things are had in price and worldly wisedome vaine But no man séekes the doctrine that belonges to christian raigne From whence procéedes such mischiefe great of God the furie fell It is wherewith he plagues contempt and worlde that doth rebell And doth denie his heauenly deawes to euery studie still And onely leaues the worlde the shell and letter that doth kill Himselfe the kirnell close doth kepe and takes the pith away And lewde dispisers doth dispise and suffers them to stray In worldly trifles fonde and vaine wherewith they féede their flocke Why should he open heauen gates to such as doe not knocke Why should he giue his holy sprite his Christ and giftes deuine To them that neuer aske but with a frowning looke repine Thus men still trusting to their wits while as they séeke to finde The way to heauen with fonde decrees and actes of diuers kinde In sundrie follies drowne themselues and labour all in vaine And hedlong hurle themselues into the flouds of hellish raigne But thou applie thy force and minde and banishe slouthfull ease Spread out the sayles of diligence and trie the learned seas Remember yet the ayde of God and helpe of heauenly light And pray to God continually to giue the heart his spright And to reueale the certaine truth thy minde for to inspire With Christ the sauing health who ought to be thy chiefe desire Thy onely glory and thy talke and in thy minde to lie In setting forth whose honour thou thy learnings must applie These things if that with earnest minde of God thou dost require No doubt but he will helpe thée straight and graunt thée thy desire And fill thy open mouth with foode and precious treasures great Thus hath he promised and likes it well when we entreat Dost thou not sée howe Salomon did greatly him delight In asking neyther goodes
