First in the persecutions ten and in the rest succeeding them In England Scotland in Fraunce and euery place you taught that daunce But when the day of count shall come that you shall answere all and some When Christ the Master of the sheepe shall reckon vs as it is meet Then from the blood of Abelstime vnto the last of such like crime You and the rest shall answere all vnto your sorrow griefe and thrall Unlesse you doe repent with speed your count will fearefull be indeed Till Luthers time you say that we heard not of Christ but you shall see That we not you haue heard of him as onely pardoner of our sinne Thrise happy Luther and the rest except some faults which we detest And ten times happy euery land that hath receiued with strong hand The Gospell pure of Christ on hie and haue put downe all Popery You aske who kept all Scripture then who made our Priests all Church-men We answere that our God of loue did saue and keepe it from aboue As in the time of Ieremy when it was burnt by Iehudy And as the Arke deliuered was from Philistims as came to passe And finally as God can make all creatures serue his Church and quake Now for our Churchmens ordination we know the Scriptures good relation And so were made our Bishops all our Ministers both great and small Salomon made Sadock he Priest in Abiathars roome to be So in the stead of Popish priests our Queene sent Ministers for Christ And though a time some were but weake yet now a number can well speake And where you say you maruell how we did receyue such as did vow Themselues your Priests of Popish order to serue with vs in any border My answere is that you might see what men of mercy Protestants be Which would receiue all to saluation and not condemne them in your fashion You did deuise you know to keepe all men from feeding of our sheepe An ordination may be good though some men guilty of soules blood Unworthy be in Church to serue for punishment that they deserue Some thing tooke ill in hand also at first may yet in time we know Proue good againe and so may this the Church-mens calling is for blisse If yours not so or be not right amend your fault beare vs no spight And to conclude you bragge and say that Austin first did here bewray The trueth of Christ but it 's not so true histories doe name vs moe But graunt that hee first taught this land were all things good came from his hand No no he taught much Popery but not so much as now doth fly Simon Zelotes and Saint Paul are said to teach vs first of all Till you these things doe well disproue I wish all men in tender loue To note what I haue sayd herein to turne to God and leaue their sinne To trust no Popish Iesuite nor yet in Masse-priests to delight For certainely their Hierarchy their kingdome and their policy Shall will and must of force fall downe for Christ abhorres the triple Crowne This Christ in mercy therefore saue our Queene and vs with that we haue Our children and posterity and keepe vs from all Popery His holy Gospell graunt vs still and frame vs to his holy will That we may know and loue the same vnto the glory of his name Pray heare and read continually that from this truth we neuer flye Amen The Epilogue THus good Readers hauing postingly run ouer this Romish Rime as a Priest doeth his Masse and Mattens whē he hath haste another way I will come to an end In this Pamphlet you haue rather seene my loue and good will then my wisdome or great skill but I trust you that are well minded will take the same in good part howsoeuer others doe considering my chiefest purpose herein was that the simple and ignorant might haue benefit thereby whom Papists abuse by sending vnto them such like trumpery by Popish Pedlers men and women The which Pedlers are as ready to do the Papists seruice herein as the women and merchants were of whom we read Ier. 7.16 to 20. 44.15 to 24.
