nedeles it is to credit euerye man These our fell frendes loue well to blowe out not that they knowe to bee true but that they wish to be true bicause our good successe and felicity is vnto them a grieuous eyesore Therfore syr cheare your selfe and set a parte thys sorrow so depely prynted in you brest for our sake Take hede you stryde not out of all pacience cast not your selfe down I say If all be well in Portugall care not for Englād But it is no meruail that you take these paines syth we are of alyaunce and kynred Surelye what knot of kinred so euer is betwene oure kingdome and yours we gladly embrace it and desier hartilye to be nearer cosins knit euen in an heauenlye league But I pray you sir if we be so deare friendes as you saye and I beleue you what toye of frendship is it thus vnto the very crowne to heape vs vp with accusatiōs How dare ye say that through vs men are diuorced frō that ryght auncient pure religion which was ratifyed by christs bloudeshed euer sence hath continued vntill these dayes and led aside vnto an other kinde of relygion both execrable and horrible Do you thinke as you say wythout doubte you doe not For in those auncient and flourishing times their was no Papacy or Popes holynes no leaden graces no purgatory martes no worshippīg of Images no gadding pilgrimages no sacrifyces for the quicke the dead in Masses nor any such trumpery These misshapes of religion what tyme they spronge who begat them you cannot but knowe but that you dissemble speake to please Therefore notwithstandinge the terrours that you thūder in the Quenes eares wyth commemorations of Gods maiestye the latter iudgement your long tale so inflammed with fierye wordes hath not thauthoritye that followeth truth and efficacye For why into a malicious harte entreth no wisdome As for your malice how sauage it is and hartbent it is euident not onelye in euery leafe of your libell but in one place beyonde shame wheras in pestilent wordes you denounce sedicion vprore you cry to weapons blow vp the bloudy trumpet to Ciuill warre You requyre of the Queenes highnes in post-hast to tumble downe the religiō by common consente erected and to make place for yours The way therunto you say is easye redy troden for that the greater number enclineth vnto you y t she shall purchase euerlasting renowne all the world will clap their handes for ioy This is your exhortation vnto the Queene a wicked witles exhortation What no remedy but forth w t must we throw from vs the heauenly doctryne of the gospell wherin sauing one six yeares tēpestuous rage we haue continued aboue xxx yeres wherin the Queenes grace hath led all her life wherein god hath geuen her a blisfull peasible reygne of fiue yeres which was by consent of all estates publyshed whereof haue ishued decrees and lawes of inestimable policy This inculpable state of religion y e true paterne of gods due honour on euery side so circumspectly fensed trenched by the Quenes maiestie shal one worde euen of one Portugall riue in peeces shal the epistle of Hieronimus Osorius breake the rancke of it were you euer in this hope your self or they that craued your helping hand beleue me you were vnwise when you setled your selfe vnto this enterprise they were not well prouided in wyt y t fyrst moued you to so high mattiers Write as manye thousande inuectiues as you please call to counsel al our aduersaries and yl willers whō as it seemes you haue learned by hart God wil preserue our Quene out of their mouthes euē that God that hathe before often times bene her deliuerer God wil strengthen her in the verity of the gospell euen god that geueth her hourely strēgth for the auauncemente of the testamente and laste will of his son our sauiour christ wil endew her with honour that shall neuer perishe As for thys your costly garded theatre wyth vaūting wordes piled vp as high as heauen neyther is it so precyous a pearle for a prince or so wel tuned a songe as to moue her to turne away from the truth euangelicall reuealed vnto her and hir kingedome and to sette vp newe stages for your Popishe brauery Therefore you doe like a naturall orator in the latter wing to place a whyning conclusion fetched frō the depth of your faculty wherin for the loue of all holynes and all halowed thinges you cry out and adiure our Quene to exterminate these newe Apostles and to retire vnto your mother church wherein you painte and set out the blessed beauye of vertues with all fine and farre fetched elegancy of speach and yet the more pity all is not worth one halfe peny Forsoth y t you tearme vpstert errour the Queene certeinelye knoweth it to be olde furrowfaced veritye and for the same offereth vppe in humble wyse her orysons prayers fullye mynded not to forsake it vntil death no not at the houre of death perfectlye knowing that she shall out of the holy gospell of our sauiour christ render streight accompt of her gouernment And you she deemeth but a smatterer in gods worde if these thinges bee straunge vnto you or if you will not knowe them a deepe dissembler which faulte was wont to bee farre from a Philosopher Wherfore in my mind good mayster Hierome you may do muche better in these religious matters to see what diuynes can doe and to take vppe your place againe amonge Philosophers oratours whose misteryes you haue better tasted of Your stile runneth in a good veine to all appearaunce nature hath done her part in you Hereunto is added arte whiche hath set forwarde the dexteritee of nature These good aydes of your studies emploied vpon your vsuall and acquaynted matters wonderful may be your commendation I haue sene your booke entituled of nobilitye fyne wyth the fynest God graunt you to reserue your self vnto such monumētes whiche breede none offence openlye but commoditie and profyte vniuersally Hereafter if you fall vnto bostinge and minde too geue freshe assaulte take it as a forewarninge to come better fensed What mortalitye so euer betyde me you shall fynde a number in Englande not alonelye in the churches and vniuersities but also in the Quenes maiestyes Courte farre surmountynge me in scyence and knoweledge with you in all

Abraham Hartwell GVALTER HADdon Englishe vnto Hieronimus Ossorius a Portugall wysheth healthe I Haue perused your epistle mayster Hieronimus whiche is directed principally vnto the Quenes most excellent Maiestie but in that it is in prynte and walketh cōmonly in euery mans hand towcheth all vniuersally You are I confesse in wordes and sentences a lykely workeman and thervpon haue presumed accordyngly that you a pryuate man disneighboured from vs by sea and lande in our affayres vnacqueynted haue so homelily opened your mouthe vnto the Quenes highnes streyned the aucthoritie of our lawes charged our whole realme with a certaine vngodly lothed newnes Wherfore you must of reason pardon mee that I an Englishe man borne one of the quenes maiesties suppliauntes enfourmed in my countrie fashions do make you aunswere and vse my penne somwhat franckely not so muche vpon an angry pange or a bytter contentious harte as to correcte this your mistakīg of the englishe state sprōge of false surmises and to restore the truethe vnto them whō peraduenture this your letter hath peruerted And to geue you plaine vnderstanding that I am not blowen vppe with anger but of duetie moued I confesse your kynd of writing worthy singular cōmendation and besydes gyue you thankes that beyng so well endewed you haue extolled our renowmed Quene whose excellencie althoughe it farre surmount the heapes of your praise yet a forraine testymonie beautyfied with eloquence no doubte is very plausible Of thestate of a Monarchie you play the Phylosopher handsomly within the bādes of knowledge reason deepely of the choyse of Religion but sir in both you haue a foule fault that is ouercharging beatinge our eares with thynges vulgarely knowne and plentie of proofes where no doubt is This waye fyrst taken your penne by stealthe crepeth on to the purpose namely to rifle such religion as by your saying we haue receyued And lo howe in the very entrance you wittingely trippe or rather take a cleane fall throughe grosse ignorance of our English customes fatherynge vpon the multitude common people the ratefyinge of our Religion authorised by publike decree and feyning the exclusion of the Royall estate from affayres of the Churche Where as with vs it is an vnfallyble custome that no lawe come forthe wherevnto the whole common wealthe shall stande bounde bu● the people fyrst geue their voyces therevnto secondely as well the temporall nobilitie as the clergie do subscribe last of al the prince confyrmeth it The contrarye if any man haue whispered in your eare then are you both in faulte he for his lowde lye and you for swift credit But if you haue builded this out of your own braine to disfygure our lawes as rawe halting inuented of peasauntes I may saye it was doone of small curtesie before you haue geuen vs halfe a tast of your matter to blow out vpon our englishe lawes so heynous a slaunder Then followeth a weyghty and strong supplication to the quenes grace that if you can by sounde reason and open profe lay before hereies in religion what is pure vnleauened that then her grace wolde not be so stif and vnmoueable but yelde her selfe acknowledge the blasing light of the trueth and be contented of you to be guided out of the wyndinge by walkes of errour Herein you speake reason and therfore I require the lyke of you that if I trie this your accusacion to cōteine more wrangling then good argument lesse trueth then stomacke double malice for syngle reason no fryndely conference grounded on religion but a plaine taunt cōpounded of slanderous wordes hereof when I haue made a solemne proofe that then I may geue free sentence of you that you are too busie a seruitour in a forrein Realme vnaduisedly carpynge where no man knoweth lesse then you You step in with a deadly complaint exaggerate with most select and precious wordes how certaine routes of men God knoweth who and where they be haue reuolted frō the apostolike trueth and fetched in a newe fayth a straunger vnto vs craking of lybertie yea suche a one as is moste pestilente swelling with the waues of mischifes out of all number Then fall you vppon the authours therof ouer whom you thunder and lyghten with suche thicke flasshes taunting terrible clappes as though they were in earthe of all other most detestable Where are these your monstrous babes of Religion whiche be they howe longe haue they contynued or howe might I come to the knowledge of them where are such wonders to be founde vnder the shape of mē what do they how do they howe did you fyrst knowe them Certifie vs of the thinges pointe to the persons subscribe the time leaue not out one circūstance that we maye haue some sure grounde to pitche vpon and so to susteine your encountringe You hallowe as loude as you can againste religiō with her capitaines you will fyghte you speake bitterly vnto both and are content to shew vs neither of them what it is wher it is This your accusation is to be pitied which if I dashe in the teethe with one contrary worde must nedes commend it felfe vnto silence You crye naye you make an outcrie and that ful ruthfully that there is a fourine of religion newely admitted accursable detestable abhominable whose authours are vnhallowed persons ruffyans sorcerers vndoers of common wealthes and professed enemyes of mankynde I on thother syde do depose that there is nothinge lesse I credite you not I demaunde your proofe Nowe what saye you what proue you You crye with open mouth there is no wyckednes but you haue y e termes of it which I smell you had gathered together therwith to deface your imagined Religiō and to wounde suche persons as no man knowethe but your selfe Nowe surely to disquiete with suche chaunge of tauntes euen to the princes face the most famous Isle in Christendome to you vnknowne vpon the false ianglyng either of our ilwillers or your parasites and not to determine eyther the cryme or persons argueth in a man small
