Wherunto is adioyned a breif reiection of an insolent, and vaunting minister masked with the letters O.E. who hath taken vpon him to wryte of thesame [sic] argument in supply of the knight.

any reason of state or gouernment at home and if in the tyme of her Maiesties raigne there hath byn lesse actual home warre then in her Fathers brothers and sisters tyme for matters of religion much may be attributed to her owne moderation especiallie at the beginning in not yeilding to the furious humors of some hoate sectaries that would easely haue put all in combustion had not other counsel bene folowed to transfer the fyre rather to other mens houses then to haue it in her owne but the most especial part in this may trulie be geuen to the mylde and bearing natures of Catholikes that haue passed so many yeares vnder the heauie yoke of persecution rather with muttering then mouing Patience of Catholykes and yet what peace we may truelie be said to haue at home when such diuision of harts iudgments and wils is discouered as this knight in this very encounter doth affirme I cannot determyne but do leaue it to other men and himselfe also to consider But as for forayne warres vnder her Maiesties raigne whom most this fleering knight would flatter in this behalfe I would aske but himselfe hath it not bene almost perpetual with all our neighbours round about vs at one tyme or other and that for religion it selfe which this man braggeth to haue brought sweet peace haue not our armes byn seene in France for many yeares together against diuers kings therof for the same quarrel Foraine vvaâ—res let Newhauen speake by vs held if the knight wil not answere let Lithe also in Scotland tel vs if our armes were there against their lawful Prince in fauour of heresie and as for Spayne and Burgundie our eldest and surest allies in tymes past I thinke no denyall can be made but with greater impudency then this brag of peace is asserted and now what great treasures haue bene spâ— in those continual forayne warres whaâ— numbers of men consumed both by sea and land in this action for maintenance of thiâ— cursed new Pandora so is heresie termed by old Irenaeus it is hard to count â—enzus li. 2. cap. 19. 53. but easie to ghesse and yet telleth vs this man of his long sweet and profitable peace as though warres maintayned in Holland Zealand Ireland France Spayne Portugal Indies and other places by English armes English money English blood and all for maintenance of Geneua religion were no warres but all peace all sweetnes all profit all felicitie wherfore to obey Aristotle and not to reason any further when sense conuinceth so notorious a flatterie and vntruth I wil say no more hereof There ensueth the eyght and this no smal blessing as this knight sayth of power in foraine countryes â— Blessing of povver in forrayne countryes which what it may be we hauing no one foote of our owne beyond the seas since Calis by heretical treason was lost I do not wel see and yf we compare it with the great large prouinces we had before vnder Catholike Religion and especiallie with the change of our old mighty and honorable allyes and confederated Princes to our new gotten frends we shal soone discouer the fayntnes and fondnes of this blessing which is seene also by the qualitie of those persons and their cause which our K. braggeth to haue had their refuge in England vnder a womans gouernment out of France Flanders Swethland Scotland and other countryes who yf they haue bene none commonlie but open rebels to their true and lawful Princes their cause heresy or Atheisme then hath their refuge to England as also the Turkes familiarity wherof this prophane K t. vaunteth by name bene certayne effectes of the new ghospel litle honorable to our country or her Ma tie though by necessarie consequence of a course thrust vpon her she hath bene enforced to entertayne them whom otherwise of her most honorable and princelie disposition she could not but contemne and in her hart detest And so much of them not worthy the memory Next this cometh the nynth blessing which is as he sayth great wealth of the land encreased by this change of religion Blessing vvealth of the land Pag. 27. much riches plentie and aboundance such as hath not lightlie bene knowne before Wherabout I must tel our K t. first that it shal be reason that in this poynt we stand not only to his relation but that we aske our people of England them-selues what they feele at home in their countryes and not what pleaseth him in his chamber to imagin and to set downe â—t home with his pen sitting more at ease perhaps then many others especiallie since the match with the ritche widdow Hannâ—â—â— who hath eased wel the blow receyued before by the â—urchasing Yeoens-baron Yeoens repayred much he ruinous walles of his Cadburie Ierusalem And trulie where this so blessed aboundant encrease of riches should ly in particular which this our K. so greatlie boasteth of I do not see for yf we consider the nobilitie and gentrie of our Land at this day and compare them with that wealth which was wont to be in former tymes Old nevv riches of our nobilitie I meane power with power riches with riches multitude of seruaÌ„ts with multitude of seruaÌ„ts house-keeping with house-keeping and other such like effectes of wealth and riches I doubt me much how S. F. can verifie this blessing And for him-selfe though I wil not enter to feele his purse yet for so much as publike fame telleth I may say without slaunder that hauing sold all or the most parte of his owne landes and spent his goods vpon enterteynment of Ministers or other like ministerial minions he may better brag of good fellowship and liberalitie then of great blessing of riches and in the same case take I the most part of his fellow ghospelling knightes to be notwithstanding their daylie feeding vpon Catholikes goodes and that their Almes extend not to buyld Monasteries Colledges Churches or hospitals as their Ancestors did before them that were of an other religion so as to the nobilitie and gentry of our land the participation of this great blessing seemeth to be but litle And as for the commonalty we ought as I said to heare them-selues speake in their owne case VVealth of the commonaltie and not this seelie procter only which intrudeth him-selfe without proxie or commission and perhaps also not so wel informed in the case as he might be or not so faythful in relating as were conuenient for sure I am this cannot be denyed that when her Ma tiâ—s tributes and other duetyes are to be exacted of the coÌ„mon people though otherwayes they pay them willingly to their power yet heare I great difficulties and complaintes of penurie and where then consisteth this extraordinarie blessing of so great riches plentie and aboundance brought in by change of religion which yet is so exceeding great by this maÌ„nes vaunt as it is able ready to susteyne such

try out truth among them after loÌ„g proof that Scripture alone wil not do it yf O. E. and his compagnions wil accept of his offer to go and pray with them in the feilds of Holland to stay the Sunne they may chance to agree together at the next new moone to whose wanes and changements I leaue both them and the progresse of their religion and meane only to say a fewe words more about the fruits of good works and temporal benedictions and so to end this first encounter wherin I haue byn ouer long already OF THE FRVITES OF vertue and good workes praetended to haue followed by change of religion as also of eyght temporal inconueniences which may be called curses or maledictions insued by thesame and how O.E. behaueth him selfe in this controuersye CAP. XVIII THow wilt not forget good reader I hope how in the tenth chapter of this Encounter we examined the fourth blessing of the new ghospel assigned by S.F. to be good lyfe En. 1. cap. 10. and holy woorks of Protestants aboue other men for otherwise it could be no special blessing of their ghospel where I shewed first that seing this blessing was testified only by them-selues not by their neighbours that liued with them and ought to feele the effectâ— of this blessing it was vayne and rather to be esteemed a brag then a blessing which I confirmed for that the warder comming to thâ— immediates and particulars wherin and bâ— what meanes good workes might be tryed discerned whether protestants or Catholykes abound more in them the K t. slippeth a syde and letteth passe the whole declaration of the warder without so much as a beck or nod at it for which respect I haue thought conuenieÌ„t to repeat thesame agayne in this place in the Warders owne words for that they are not many and to see at least what the Aduocate minister supplyeth for his ClieÌ„t the K t. in this behalf thus then wrote the warder After assurance stabilitie and vnion in beleef the next greatest spiritual benedictions that can be expected of any doctrine Pag. 6. VVhat effectes of vertue nevv religion hath vvrought are the good effects of vertue which it worketh in mennes mynds manners as it was foretold by Esay the Prophet that Christs doctrine should so alter mens conditions and natures that such as were most fearce sauadge and wicked before should by this doctrine become most humble Esa 11. kynd and gentle The wolfe sayth he shal dwel with the lambe and the parde shal lye with the goate the calfe lyon and sheep shal abyde together and a litle chyld shal be able to gouerne them all Wel then hath the protestants doctryn wrought these effects of peace meeknes manâ—uetude and agreement I haue touched beâ—ore the bloody tragedyes raysed in France â—landers Scotland and other places vpon the â—â—rst rising therof I might ad Switzerland and â—ermany where their owne stories do testifie â—â—at aboue a hundreth thousand people were â—ayne within one yeare by the rebellion and warres of the couÌ„trymen against their lordes Sledan for the controuersie of religion such humilitie obedience and meekenes of hart imprinted presentlie this new doctrine when it came But let vs see other effects Christs doctrine exhorteth to penance to mortification of the flesh to continency virginity fasting praying almes voluntarie pouerty renouncing of the world and the lyke Are there more of these effects now adayes in England or before or are their more in Syr. F. and his men then in ours doth he and his ghospellers pay their debts better then Catholykes doe or keep better houses or more hospitalitie or rayse their rents lesse or take lesse fynes or vse their tenants better or lend their neighbours more money without vsurie or do they help to marrie more poore mennes daughters and other such lyke good works of charitie Is pryde in apparel gluttony dronkennesse lecherie swearing and forswearing couetousnes crueltie falshood deceipt theeuerie lack of conscience oppressing of poore men more or lesse now adayes in vre or before when yet this change was not made Let S. F. answere me to this and not he only but the whole country round about him and then let him tel me with witnesses whether they be spiritual blessings or curses that haue ensued vpon this change of religion so much commended by him and so I shal passe to weigh his temporal benedictions which perhaps he esteemeth farre more theÌ„ these spiritual Thus he To all this treatie of the fruits of vertue vertuous lyfe in Protestants S. F. answereth not so much as one lyne and therfore his prating Proctor to helpe out his maister must needs bestyrre him-selfe to say som-what but how fit to the purpose and state of the question his owne words shal shew for thus he beginneth Pag. 23. I answere sayth he that the doctrine of the ghospel hath wrought good effect in all true Christians and albeit euery one do not so square their liues according to Gods lawe as they should yet compart our people with the Papists nay with the Priests and Popes them-selues whom they call most holy * For his office and not for his person I make no question but they do sarre excel them Loe heere this fellow is quick and resolute he maketh no question of that which is most in question or rather which is all the question whether protestants in all countryes where they lyue be of better lyues generally then Catholykes or that which is the same in effect but yet more easie to be discerned whether the world since the rising of Luther and Caluins new doctrine which this man calleth the ghospel Sup. cap 17. nu 10. though before he haue coÌ„demned the same in diuers poyntes as yow haue heard the manners of men haue byn generally better or worse for that according to the warders discoursâ— Christs owne words true religâ—on and reformation bringeth euer with it better lyfe and behauiour of men this then is the true state of the question whether protestants religion haue done this or no wherof we haue shewed the negatiue part before out of their owne wryters and the meanest man woman or chyld that lyueth at this day yf they haue heard of things past or can behold matters present with any iudgement wil easely discerne Yet this resolute Minister as yow see maketh no question to the contrarie and so from this general assertion passeth on to prayse exceedinglie the clemencie and vertue of protestant Princes and then turneth he to the contrarie which is his only plausible common place to dilate and delight him-selfe I meane against Rome and her Popes But the whorish synagoge sayth he of Rome yow must not maruaile of the speech for that whores and knaues in his ministerie do ofteÌ„ meet shee is red with the blood of saincts no tyger was euer more fearce and cruel Thus in general and then layeth he load vpon Popes Card.

Henry Kings of FraÌ„ce the States of the low countreys the people of Portugal who haue fallen into diuers troubles warres and disasters not-withstanding they contynued the masse and were Catholyks in religion But I would aske O. E. whether these troubles came by their chauÌ„ge of religion or noe For yf they did not then are they impertinent to our purpose which is to shew that by change of religion commonly do ensue troubles but not that only by this meanes disasters are incurred as though there were no other for that Catholyke Princes people also may incurre troubles by other meanes then by change of religion but they auoyd those which this change doth bring with yt Change of religion in France and Flanders Wherfore this noddy is discouered to speake nothing to the purpose in bringing in those fiue examples wherof foure not-with-standing are wholy against him-selfe for that all the troubles which he mentioneth to haue happened to Catholyke Princes and people in France and Flaunders haue byn occasioned by change of religion inforced vpon them by others as the world knoweth and not by â—heir owne willes and so hauing seene what â—his minister hath answered to the Warders â—reface of temporal hurts we may imagine â—ow substantially he wil satisfie afterward â—o the points them-selues wherof the first â—ower are those that follow And first saith the warder yf religion had not byn chaunged her Ma tie at this day had had a most fâ—orishing Kingdome VVarnvvord Pag. 8. vnited both to her and amonge them-selues in religion 1 Strength and felicity by vnion iudgment affection fidelity and frend-â—hip as other realmes Cath. of the world are seene to bee as ours for aboue a thousand yeares togeather with much honour and felicity is knowne to haue remayned 2 Security Heerof had ensued that none of these feares and terrors of conquests inuasions assaults treasons conspiraties the lyke which this VVach-man endeauoreth to lay before vs had euer come in conâ—ideration for that England vnited in yt selfe hath euer synce it was a monarchy made other Kingdomes and prouinces round abouâ— yt to feare her forces as by matters happened in France Ireland and Scotland for many ages is euident and she neuer greatly feared any Thirdly England had had her Ma tie at this day by all likelyhood a ioyful mother of many faire and princely children 3 Issue of her Maiestie for that the principal cause of her graces not marrying is to be presumed to haue proceeded of the differenâ— religion of forrayne princes who desired thâ— same on the one side and one the other thâ— inequality of blood in her owne subiects for such aduancement For to attribute this great resolution of heâ— Ma tie to the only loue of sole lyfe and maydâ—-head I doubt how yt can be iustifiable seinâ— that amoÌ„g Catholyks where such profesioâ— is more praysed and practised they vse sometymes to draw out euen vowed nunnes from â—heir cloysters to marriage for so weightie a â—ause as is the sauing of succession in so great a â—rowne as England is knowne to be And â—mong Protestants virginity is not of that neâ—essity or meryt as for yt to incurre so great â—â—conueniences notwith-standing the base â—nd seruile flattery of this crouching Knight â—ho casteth in now and then the memory of ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ mayden Queene without respecting the â—eadly wound which his countrey receyueth â—â—erby Foorthly of this had followed the sure estaâ—â—ishment of the succession of this imperial â—â—owne in the blood and race of the vnited â—â—yal houses of York and Lancaster 4 EstablishmeÌ„t of successioÌ„ and of ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ lâ—ne of the noble K.
