our Priestly Orders shall enioyne vs. But first answere me who enforced you thereto either to leaue your country or to take that order Did Queene Elizabeth doth King Iames doe you not that of your owne voluntarie wils contrarie to your own known countrie lawes Secondly whether that single sinnefull I may say Oath bee of sufficient authoritie to dissolue that treble bond of allegeance in which by being his Maiesties borne subiects you are bound by lawe diuine naturall and nationall Thirdly if you before knowing the daunger thereof will yet voluntarily take such oaths where then is the fault in the Prince that vppon good and warrantable grounds shall in a religious policie to preuent the hazard of his owne and his subiects states and liues cause such a lawe to bee enacted or in the Priestes that shall wilfully and in a resolute determination of working their countries ouerthrowe take such an oath And here for a shutting vp of all giue me leaue because the Papists hold so much of the Popes authoritie against Princes by him excommunicated to insert two questions with their answeres propounded by the right reuerend father in God the late Lord Bishoppe of London vnto Thomas Garnet Aliàs Roockwood Aliàs Sayer a Seminarie Priest at the time of the saide Garnets arraignement at the Sessions-house without Newgate in London vpon Thursday the 16. of Iune 1608. The first question was this Whether the saide Garnet had euer read any authors whatsoeuer vntill some hundreds of yeares after Christs time that did hold that the ende of Excommunication tended to a depriuation of life The second question was this Whether if the saide Garnet himselfe helde lands which by lawfull and lineall inheritance had descended from his auncestors vnto him it were lawfull for the Pope Garnet being by him excommunicated to giue the lands vnto whom hee pleased Garnets answere vnto the first was vncertaine for saide hee I remember not well what I haue reade concerning this point But vnto the second question hee answered directly Noe. Why then mildely replied the Bishoppe what reason haue you Maister Garnet to hold that the Pope hath more authoritie ouer the Kings Maiestie being your Soueraigne then ouer you being but a priuate person and his Subiect Garnet reioynder was silence hauing first by a concession in his owne case graunted that the Popes authorities was of no force herein Thus much for satisfaction in this point vnto all men out of the mouth of Thomas Garnet Seminarie Priest To this purpose see also Iohn Hart Seminary Priest his wordes in his Preface before his conference with Doctor Reignolds Nor may I here neglect that offer which Pope Paulus the fourth made vnto Queene Elizabeth in the beginning of her Raigne who when he perceiued that his vsurped authoritie and Primateship grew in England contemptible condicionally that hee might hold that power here that vniustly hee had before done when this land was drowned in Poperie would haue beene contented and caused the Queenes Maiestie to vnderstand that hee would be pleased that all matters for religion should be administred in the same manner that then they were being the very same then per omnia that now it is onely his Supremacie must bee acknowledged for that indeed not Religion not godlinesse not any thing but pride and ambition to be in the eyes of the world aboue all both was and is the cause of his raging madnesse But that noble spirited Queene whose religion was founded vpon a rock Christ Iesus being the chiefe corner stone by whom all her building was ioyned together scorned to be beholding to that Italian Priest for the exercise of that religion which were it lawfull by his dispensation she would and could by the power of God and her owne authoritie maintaine against him and all the power of darkenesse and hell it selfe without being beholding to him Let those Princes whose either Pusillanimitie or weaknes of their estates or small assurance of their subiects loues or want of courage to withstand his yoake of intrusion or whose vnlawfull mariages and thereby illicite issue and succession must bee legitimated by a more illegitimate dispensation from his vnholinesse that the power and sword of the one may vphold the authoritie of the other that his authoritie may reciprocally helpe to keepe that Crowne vpon the head of him and his successors who otherwise were thereof by their owne and Gods lawes vncapable verifying thereby that olde Prouerbe Clawe me and I will claw thee Let they vsurped authoritie maintaine my illicite mariage and my power and purse shall maintaine thy vsurped authoritie Let such as expect Donations of other Princes Kingdomes from their grand trāslator of Empyres the Pope the diuels substitute as Philip the second of that name King of Spaine did vpon whom Pius Quintus or rather Impius intus the diuels vicegerent then at Rome conferred the Kingdome of England but all the craft was in the catching instanced and approued as an act lawfull by Azorius the Iesuite in his morall institutions part second booke eleuenth chapter the fist circa medium capitis Let such Princes I say adhere to the Pope subiugate their neckes to his trampling but let those whose cause is good succession lawful spirits more magnanimous and of a better mettall their subiects hearts generally firmely assured the word of God which is trueth it selfe on their side power and abilitie to withstand and offend him and all his vnholy confederates free Princes next vnder God in their owne Dominions Let these I say all learne of that renowned Queene Elizabeth this resolute saying rare amongst men but not to be paralleld by any woman If my religion be allowable if my mariage lawfull if my succession rightfull by the Popes Dispensation then is it so also without it and God willing I will maintaine it without him who of his power can make it no more lawfull or vnlawfull then of it selfe it is without him for against the word of God there lieth no Dispensation And let great Great Brittaines King make it known for an honour to him and his posteritie that great Elizaes spirit lodgeth in his Brest Though happie she in peace with God doth rest Thus holding Poperie to be an hotch-poch of new religion coyned in the mints of the Babylonish whore who contendeth to aduance her Kingdome aboue the Kingdome of Christ by all meanes that themselues or hell it selfe can inuent by crueltie by blood by deceit by abusing the word of God by equiuocation by what not yea she hath so taught her brats the Priestes and Iesuites and infinite others by them seduced to sweare and forsweare to promise and protest by whatsoeuer can bee named although they haue no purpose to make good any of their vowes in this kind as that they haue almost left no means whereby a man may be assured of anothers intentions although he vowe it neuer so seeming seriously Call to minde

feruent desire to doe my Country some publique seruice in helping as much as in me lyeth to stop the mouths of our common aduersaries the Papists whose lauish tongs haue spit out aboundance of venome and their pennes stung like Scorpions not onely our late most gracious and woorthy Queene Elizabeth of euer-blessed memorie for the many vnspeakeable blessings that God with and through her bestowed vpon this and other Kingdomes But also our present Soueraigne Lord and King with both their state Ministers by charging them as falsely so maliciously with cruelty breach of promise bloud and bloudy persecution for conscience hath mooued mee to jmploye the best talent of my small ability to convince them of jmpudent and lying malicious slaunders and reproachfull vntruths First in a few following lynes directed vnto all Romish fauorites clearing my present gracious Soueraigne of breach of promise with Recusants for toleration of Popery wherein also I haue touched the ground of that slaunder with the occasion and Authors thereof with some other matters of speciall moment Secondly in a tabular computation by a comparatiue collection of all such Martyrs as were burned in Queene Maries days with all such Priests Iesuites popish Recusants as their Pseudomartyrologist I. W. Priest pretends but pretends to haue byn executed in England Religionis ergò since the beginning of Q. Elizabeths raigne vntill this present yere 1608. I haue cleared the second accusation of cruelty bloud and bloudy presecution for conscience evidently proouing by their owne account vnto the vnderstanding of the most simple that is not wilfully blind that many more of the first sort suffered death and were in fire consumed onely for their conscience within the lesse then six yeares raigne of Queene Marie then of the second third and fourth sort to wit Priests Iesuites and Recusants in 52. yeares since and that not for Religion but Treason Whereby it appeareth how vnjustly our late woorthy Queene our present gracious King their State-ministers haue been and are most jmpudently falsely of bloud cruelty accused taxed Nor haue I ought herein written to giue satisfaction to any such for let them sincke in their owne sinnes as being ouer deeply bewitched with Romes jdolatry doe hold that all Treasons all Rebellions all Attempts vi aut fraude against the persons and states of our late Queene Elizabeth and our now present King both were and are not only lawfull but meritorious But to enforme such of them as being of a milder temper and yet looking that way willingly confesse and acknowledge that all such as haue beene or are guilty of such crimes haue deseruedly been punished but yet doe or at least seeme to conceaue that their Priests and Iesuites haue suffered onely for their Consciences and therefore their persecution they being many in nomber is in their judgement great and lamentable Which were it graunted or could as it neuer can bee prooued that they all dyed for their conscience onely which yet is a conscience mis-enformed yet doth the nomber of our true Martyrs in lesse then 6. yeres of Queene Maries raigne although it should be permitted vnto them to take also into their number those fifty and two lay persons for so many I thinke there are registred with the Priests and Iesuites in their owne Martyrologe not onely equallize but exceed the number of theirs in full fifty yeares since by the number of almost 100. persons Insomuch that if the numbers of persons suffering and the number of yeeres of both sorts wherein they suffered bee compared and the cause of all their sufferings admitted to be alike just or vnjust of which there is no comparison yet did the cruelty of Queene Marie and her popish Clergie out-strip Queene Elizabeth and king Iames conjoyned more then tenne for one and therefore learne you that haue any sparke of grace remaining in you to be good subiects to your King and cease now at last to taxe your soueraigne any more of persecutiō whose heart bleeds that he is forced to draw bloud from others for their jntollerable demerits As for the truth of these collections whereat perhaps and not vnlike some popish spirits will take exception vnderstand that M r. Foxe that sometime reuerend Father of our Church is my Author whome for the number of such professors of the Gospell as were burned in Queene Maries dayes I haue soly followed who albeit happily for it is almost jmpossible to bee otherwise in some things in so large a volume hee might commit some small errour in some particular cicumstances because no Historian can possibly be present euery where with his owne eyes and eares but must of necessity giue credite vnto the relations of others in many poynts Yet the granity of his person his excellent learning his great reading his worthy and sober cariage his sound judgement and therein his wise choyce of Authours and the generall report of his honest and religious mind by an vniforme consent of all such as knew him freeth him from taxation of any wilfull and grosse errour or willing mistaking and from any malicious aslertion against the Papists without a probable ground throughout his worthy woorke in whose behalfe I thinke it needlesse to bestowe much paines because the honester and greater sort are honestly already of him perswaded and for the rest as they are for number fewer and their honesty little worth so ate they many of them wilfully obstinate and will not bee perswaded As for the other sort to wit popish Priests Iesuites and Recusants such as haue beene executed since the beginning of Queene Elizabeths raigne as I. W. pretendeth for religion vntill the yeare 1608. they are coppyed word for word out of a booke called The English Martyrologe by the authority of the popish supervisors as it should seeme allowed vnles the nameles author thereof I. W. Priest doe belye them Wherin I haue dealt as truely with them to a letter as I could saue onely that I haue left out one person and in steed thereof added two to wit William Watson and William Clarke both Priests executed at Winchester Novemb. 29. 1603. I know not how by the Pseudomartyrologist omitted for he might as well haue enrolled them as those which he hath done being all alike traytors to their Prince and Country Noram I disposed to cauill for that I find diuers of their Priests noted in that his Martyrologe by one name which yet I find set downe in our Chronicles by an other name as for example in An. 1585. Ianuary 21. Edward Transam and Nicho. Wodfine so by this our Martyrologist noted are by others named Edmund Barbar and Nicholas Deuorax which I note chiefly for this end that none might be deceiued in thinking that more haue been executed then in deed haue been because one and the same persons are in their and our writings noted by different names for they haue so many false names that amongst them all I find
