his part A nother property of a false prophet is to be cruell and bloudthursty as Ieremy in the 23. and Ezechiell in the 22. chapter doth beare witnes Haue our prelats nothing to do with murder I thinke if ye will examine them well we shall finde them so bloud thursty that for all that property alone they mighte not vnworthely be called wolues and false prophets For besides that they kill the souls of their parishioners and diocesanes eyther for lacke of the word of God or els with the poysoned breade of heresie and papestry they kill diuers other wayes as in back byting belying and slaundering of the true preuchers and in killing the bodyes of the same The Clergy of England killed Belney Baynam Bayfielde and A●tony Person Mekens Lambert and Phillips with many other whose names come not nowe in my remembraunce But the wolfe of winchester for his parte alone killed Barnes Ierom and Garret The citye of London the townes of Colchester Braintree and Chensfurth can tell howe many hys fellowe bloudy Boner hath killed And nowe of late these olde murdering wolues which haue ben a great while hungrye in their dennes when as they were broken lose euen as great Masties do more harme that are commonly tyed when as they breake lose then other do that commonly run abroad at liberty haue killed a grert sort in their mindes and desires haue casten them into prison that they may kill them in deede as they haue killed them in thoughte for if the casting of them into prison alone might haue killed them there had none of them all bene aliue at this time as perchaunce some shall perish for colde and lacke of good keeping But because the prison can not kill them all as their desire is they laye sedition and treason vnto their charges that they may dispatch them the soner that way as the old priests and pharises handled Christ and his Apostles after him For when as the Maiestrats woulde not kill them for heresie and false doctrine the bloudy Wolues layed sedition and treason vnto their charges as our Wolues doe at this time Now when as Stephen Gardiner and Edmond Bonar with the other nūber of bloud shedding by shoppes and priests haue the very same properties that the old false prophets and worrying wolues had I see no cause but I may lawfullye call them Wolues Deane The moste part of the places which ye haue alledged as yet are taken out of the olde Testament which seemeth not to be of suche force nowe in the time of the newe Testament as they might bee that are taken out of the newe Testamnt because the old Testament speaketh many thinges in figures and tropes which are hard to vnderstand when as the newe Testament declareth the olde and speaketh all things without figurs wherefore if you will proue any thing substantially ye must proue it by the newe Testament and not by the olde Also the Byshoppes haue not killed them that ye speake of but the magistrates and the kings officers Hunter If that the alledging of the newe Testament will bring you to the light of the truth I will alledge it more largely not withstanding that I alledged no trope nor figures out of the olde Testament but morall lawes which shall endure for euer Also I haue alledged diuers places out of the new Testament wherof euen but one alone had ben sufficient ynough to haue gotten credence for that thing that I desired to be beleeued in But to proue it fully that I haue taken in hand to proue I shall proue that Gardiner the bishop of winchester and al his fellowes of that order that he is of haue the properties of the false prophets that are spoken of in the newetestament Christ in the 7. of Matth. saith that false prophets go in Lambes clothing and inwarde are rauening Wolues The massemongers of England go in sheepes clothing that is they shew great holines in their outwart apparel they haue four cornered cappes to sinnifie that they go Este west North and South to preach gods word how be it theire foure corners maye as well signifie that they haue destroyed the foure Euangelistes in the stead of them set vp their owne traditions they haue shauen crownes to signifie that their mind is in heauen and chat they care for no worldly thing They haue syde gownes and them commonly blacke which be tokeneth sadnes of maners and mortifying of theire fleshe they haue tippets about their neckes to betoken that they haue taken vpon them the yoke of chastitye They weare white Ratchetes and surplesses sometime aboue their other clothes to signifie the simplicity of a Lambe and the innocency of the same But I haue proued before that inwardlye they are rauening Wolues therefore these are the false prophets that Christ bad vs beware of Matth the 15. Marke the 7. declare that the property of the pharises which were false prophets is to set vp their owne traditions and therby to breake and tr●ad down the commaundement of God which thing I haue proalready that our Byshoppes and priestes both haue done and yet do stil. Christ in the x. of Iohn maketh all them theeues and mu●●erers that are not sent by him but come in another way I haue proued already that all the vnlearded persons in Englande came in another way then by Christ. And now I saye that all the only massaying prie●●es in Englande and that this kind of elders priestes or Apos●les which take vpon them to be higher in dignity then their fellowe priests and apostles and exercise lordship ouer them are not sent of Christe who made not one Apostle aboue another but gaue them all like auctority as the gospels in diuers places beare witnes namely Mat. the 18. and 20. Mark the ix and x. Luke the 22. and in diuers other places Where haue the massaying priests any word in the new testament ▪ wherwith thei are able to proue that they ar sent of Christ no wher I warrant you in all the new testament The newe testament is in all places against this kinde of priesthoode Then when as neither the masse priestes neyther the proud lordly byshops are sent of Christ it foloweth that they are theeues and robbers and so false prophets and Wolues Christ in the 24. of Matthew describing the salfe prophets that should come in the end of the world sayth that they will say that Christ is here and Christ is there that he is in this pix and in that pix in this bread and in that bread and so doe Gardiner with all his sacramentary sacrificers Therfore they are false prophets that Christ prophecyed of that should come in the end of the world Paule where as hee Prophecyeth in the former Epistle to Timothi of the false Prophets that should come in the latter times of the world sheweth two notable properties wherby ▪ they may be knowen The former is that they should forbid mariage and the Seconde is to
