a_o warn_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o fowler_n psalter_n give_v by_o th._n samson_n anchora_fw-la spei_fw-la imprint_v at_o london_n by_o thomas_n vautrollier_n for_o george_n bishop_n 1578._o to_o my_o very_a godly_a love_n friend_n and_o brother_n m._n robert_n ask_v goldsmith_n and_o one_o of_o the_o bridgemaister_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n you_o do_v send_v of_o late_a unto_o i_o at_o one_o time_n as_o you_o know_v two_o book_n which_o the_o lovanistes_n have_v send_v into_o england_n the_o one_o be_v a_o primer_n the_o other_o a_o psalter_n the_o primer_n be_v in_o latin_a and_o be_v as_o i_o think_v but_o a_o new_a burnish_n of_o their_o old_a popish_a pelf_n i_o do_v not_o peruse_v it_o neither_o do_v i_o intend_v to_o bestow_v any_o labour_n thereabout_o for_o many_o year_n be_v pass_v since_o i_o do_v leave_v my_o primer_n neither_o have_v i_o any_o pleasure_n now_o to_o look_v upon_o those_o puddle_n of_o popery_n in_o which_o i_o be_v plunge_v in_o the_o day_n of_o my_o youth_n and_o ignorance_n 25._o i_o do_v rather_o with_o the_o psalmist_n humble_o pray_v the_o lord_n not_o to_o remember_v the_o fault_n and_o ignorance_n of_o my_o youth_n but_o according_a to_o his_o own_o kindness_n and_o for_o his_o goodness_n sake_n to_o forgive_v i_o it_o be_v beside_o all_o this_o now_o become_v a_o tickle_a piece_n of_o work_n m._n robert_n to_o meddle_v with_o primer_n will_v you_o know_v why_o the_o old_a primer_n be_v of_o late_a great_o disgrace_v by_o pope_n pius_n v_o for_o he_o say_v that_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o superstitious_a error_n and_o say_v that_o many_o forge_a prayer_n be_v thrust_v into_o they_o under_o false_a and_o feign_a name_n of_o saint_n he_o call_v also_o all_o the_o pardon_n grant_v in_o they_o and_o print_v in_o their_o rubrike_n into_o doubt_n thus_o do_v this_o pope_n dash_n the_o devotion_n of_o papist_n therefore_o let_v old_a papist_n look_v well_o what_o primer_n they_o use_v and_o take_v heed_n which_o of_o they_o they_o do_v trust_v lest_o they_o do_v not_o only_o lose_v their_o labour_n but_o fall_v into_o the_o displeasure_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o by_o the_o do_n of_o late_a pope_n they_o may_v see_v how_o unsavoury_a and_o unsafe_a the_o do_n of_o former_a pope_n be_v for_o that_o which_o one_o allow_v a_o other_o disallow_v one_o promise_v a_o other_o deny_v therefore_o i_o think_v good_a now_o to_o leave_v both_o they_o &_o their_o primer_n and_o because_o the_o psalter_n seem_v to_o be_v some_o strange_a novelty_n with_o which_o the_o author_n think_v to_o make_v some_o fresh_a melody_n i_o do_v take_v this_o their_o psalter_n into_o my_o hand_n i_o do_v but_o touch_v the_o string_n thereof_o to_o taste_v what_o sound_n it_o do_v give_v but_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o in_o it_o which_o the_o name_n seem_v to_o promise_v rather_o i_o find_v in_o it_o unsavoury_a discord_n string_n false_a and_o out_o of_o tune_n &_o other_o such_o jar_n as_o by_o peruse_v this_o little_a pamphlet_n you_o may_v perceive_v which_o i_o do_v not_o send_v to_o you_o my_o good_a brother_n as_o though_o i_o think_v that_o you_o either_o delight_v in_o such_o

they_o shall_v drive_v all_o man_n from_o they_o rather_o than_o allure_v any_o to_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o do_v make_v a_o choice_n of_o goodly_a word_n and_o do_v set_v the_o same_o as_o

so_o many_o old_a heretic_n do_v in_o their_o heresy_n retain_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o under_o that_o most_o holy_a name_n they_o do_v hide_v all_o their_o poison_n they_o do_v

the_o papist_n now_o they_o have_v and_o hold_v for_o the_o cover_n of_o their_o filth_n and_o abomination_n the_o name_n of_o god_n of_o christ_n of_o jesus_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n of_o catholic_a and_o what_o not_o but_o all_o these_o they_o do_v use_v but_o as_o a_o sconce_n to_o deceive_v and_o under_o these_o fair_a title_n to_o draw_v simple_a soul_n into_o their_o filth_n they_o have_v heretofore_o fight_v for_o themselves_o in_o this_o land_n with_o fire_n and_o sword_n fierce_o but_o when_o that_o tyranny_n be_v as_o now_o it_o be_v overturn_v through_o god_n great_a mercy_n towards_o we_o bless_a be_v his_o name_n for_o it_o by_o the_o most_o merciful_a and_o mild_a government_n of_o our_o gracious_a sovereign_a queen_n elizabeth_n who_o

only_o for_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n they_o have_v a_o reason_n for_o this_o their_o assertion_n but_o i_o pass_v it_o over_o because_o that_o m._n fowler_n himself_o do_v seem_v to_o incline_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o his_o master_n for_o in_o the_o petition_n of_o his_o psalter_n he_o make_v mention_v only_o of_o such_o soul_n as_o be_v in_o purgatory_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o purgatory_n at_o all_o then_o be_v there_o no_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n to_o be_v pray_v for_o a_o vain_a petition_n than_o it_o be_v in_o this_o psalter_n and_o a_o needless_a diligence_n when_o m._n fowler_n show_v himself_o so_o diligent_a in_o pray_v for_o the_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n yea_o and_o it_o be_v more_o than_o vain_a to_o abuse_v the_o glorious_a name_n of_o jesus_n and_o of_o his_o bitter_a passion_n to_o this_o his_o vanity_n of_o purgatory_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o purgatory_n in_o which_o soul_n do_v suffer_v as_o they_o say_v the_o pain_n of_o scorch_a broil_v or_o burn_v till_o they_o be_v purge_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o relieve_v by_o the_o charitable_a deed_n of_o the_o live_n yea_o or_o no._n let_v we_o see_v who_o they_o be_v that_o do_v first_o speak_v of_o purgatory_n and_o how_o it_o pass_v from_o they_o to_o some_o of_o the_o old_a christian_n writer_n which_o do_v make_v mention_n thereof_o but_o very_o doubtful_o and_o divers_o in_o their_o write_n so_o shall_v it_o appear_v upon_o what_o faint_a ground_n purgatory_n be_v found_v first_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o purgatory_n can_v not_o be_v prove_v by_o any_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n hy●ognost_n it_o be_v i_o say_v grant_v by_o one_o archepapist_n of_o this_o our_o age_n and_o also_o by_o a_o old_a writer_n of_o good_a antiquity_n but_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n whereby_o our_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v frame_v and_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n which_o do_v true_o teach_v we_o of_o the_o true_a be_v of_o thing_n so_o that_o unless_o god_n in_o his_o word_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o and_o again_o upon_o that_o which_o god_n do_v promise_v we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o must_v ground_n our_o faith_n in_o the_o prayer_n which_o we_o do_v make_v to_o god_n for_o if_o we_o will_v due_o regard_v god_n good_a will_n with_o trust_n that_o he_o will_v hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o grant_v our_o request_n we_o must_v have_v both_o a_o promise_n of_o hear_v and_o a_o rule_n warrantinge_v the_o rightness_n of_o our_o request_n in_o the_o most_o holy_a word_n of_o god_n without_o which_o we_o can_v not_o true_o have_v any_o faith_n or_o assurance_n of_o the_o hear_n of_o our_o prayer_n without_o this_o knowledge_n we_o can_v make_v no_o true_a prayer_n it_o be_v no_o true_a prayer_n therefore_o which_o those_o man_n seem_v to_o make_v which_o have_v no_o understanding_n of_o god_n will_n nor_o trust_v in_o his_o promise_n turk_n jew_n and_o papist_n do_v prate_v in_o their_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n but_o that_o prate_n be_v not_o right_a pray_v now_o then_o let_v we_o admit_v it_o as_o a_o truth_n which_o be_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o holy_a scripture_n no_o word_n of_o god_n to_o warrant_v we_o this_o purgatory_n then_o have_v we_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n no_o assurance_n to_o ascertain_v we_o that_o there_o be_v any_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n nor_o commandment_n of_o god_n give_v to_o we_o to_o pray_v for_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n nor_o promise_v to_o believe_v that_o our_o prayer_n make_v for_o they_o can_v do_v they_o good_a if_o we_o have_v no_o assurance_n nor_o certeinety_n hereof_o we_o can_v not_o pray_v for_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n will_v you_o know_v then_o from_o whence_o this_o opinion_n of_o purgatory_n do_v come_v the_o first_o and_o most_o ancient_a promoter_n thereof_o be_v so_o far_o as_o i_o learn_v not_o god_n but_o plato_n the_o philosopher_n a_o man_n which_o do_v not_o true_o know_v god_n his_o opinion_n of_o purgatory_n as_o eusebius_n do_v report_v it_o euang_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a record_n that_o i_o have_v red_a virgil_n the_o pagan_a poette_n have_v speak_v also_o of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o purgatory_n be_v feign_v to_o be_v but_o from_o plato_n it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v convey_v to_o other_o who_o accord_v to_o their_o fantasy_n lay_v the_o first_o platform_n of_o a_o purgatory_n even_o that_o whereon_o the_o papist_n have_v build_v this_o their_o purgatory_n which_o build_v by_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o handsome_o couch_v together_o but_o that_o their_o own_o father_n assemble_v in_o the_o last_o council_n of_o trent_n think_v good_a by_o way_n of_o correction_n to_o give_v this_o admonition_n to_o they_o of_o their_o foot_n trident_n that_o they_o do_v not_o hereafter_o in_o their_o sermon_n before_o the_o common_a people_n handle_v the_o hard_a and_o dark_a question_n touch_v purgatory_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o such_o uncertain_a thing_n touch_v purgatory_n as_o be_v think_v to_o be_v false_a they_o do_v also_o forbid_v they_o to_o handle_v those_o thing_n touch_v purgatory_n which_o do_v savour_v of_o curiosity_n or_o concern_v superstition_n or_o savour_v of_o filthy_a lucre_n and_o those_o father_n as_o popish_a as_o they_o be_v do_v yet_o command_v they_o who_o they_o may_v command_v that_o they_o let_v these_o thing_n alone_o as_o offence_n by_o this_o forbid_v now_o it_o appear_v that_o before_o this_o time_n the_o purgatory_n proctor_n use_v to_o publish_v such_o thing_n of_o purgatory_n and_o for_o it_o as_o this_o council_n now_o forbid_v else_o why_o do_v it_o now_o forbid_v they_o and_o so_o by_o the_o word_n of_o papist_n themselves_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o they_o have_v have_v among_o they_o such_o proctor_n for_o their_o purgatory_n as_o have_v handle_v it_o so_o corrupt_o that_o they_o themselves_o be_v ashamed_a thereof_o and_o do_v forbid_v the_o like_a and_o yet_o do_v these_o popish_a father_n in_o that_o council_n underprop_v this_o purgatory_n by_o their_o authority_n still_o but_o if_o they_o do_v mean_a in_o good_a earnest_n to_o take_v from_o their_o purgatory_n all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v uncertain_a and_o false_a or_o curious_a or_o

shall_v leave_v to_o their_o pope_n then_o such_o a_o simple_a purgatory_n as_o be_v not_o able_a to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a pinfold_n to_o impounde_v a_o poor_a pig_n but_o as_o be_v say_v they_o and_o their_o father_n will_v needs_o maintain_v their_o purgatory_n for_o they_o have_v take_v in_o hand_n the_o defence_n thereof_o and_o it_o serve_v so_o well_o for_o their_o purse_n and_o purpose_n that_o it_o deserve_v their_o defence_n they_o say_v that_o their_o church_n have_v learn_v it_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o i_o say_v nay_o and_o some_o of_o their_o own_o man_n and_o their_o elder_n also_o do_v say_v nay_o as_o be_v touch_v before_o neither_o do_v they_o themselves_o show_v unto_o we_o any_o one_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v the_o same_o purgatory_n on_o which_o they_o do_v conclude_v this_o now_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n as_o papist_n call_v their_o romish_a church_n in_o their_o
