OF the great subscription vrged from the Pastors and ministers of the worde and Sacramentes in a great part of this land the last yeare yee can not lightlie be ignorant The causes of the same being either secrete I cannot or not conuenient to be published I may not set downe What the euent thereof wil be God he knoweth what it hath beene according to the diuersitie of mans minde diuerslie do men thinke thereof For some are of opinion that much hurt thereby hath redounded to the Church of God and they think not amisse in diuers considerations others again wiselie do suppose that it hath made not a little vnto the glorie of God and comfort of his seruants as whereby a ful and perfect trial of men is had diuers of the godlie notablie be deliuered from the manifold slanders wicked surmises falslie raised of them through the secret and subtil suggestions of Satan and his members For to speake first of her Maiesties authoritie in causes Ecclesiastical and that to offend none of Gods children but to the consolation of manie of al that haue bine examined what one hath denied the same who but most willingly and cheerefully doeth ascribe so much as the lawes of this land in euerie respect do giue vnto her highnes Who but hath offered as to subscribe so to sweare vnto that article Who but would suffer the losse not of goods onely but of life also for the maintenance of the same And although the Papistes do write that to grant this vnto her maiestie is lothsome and base flatterie abominable and blasphemous adulation shameful haeresie and vntruth against nature and is not to make her next to God in her Realme but to make her the God of her people For the next step saie theie vnto diuine adoration is to saie beleeue that a temporal King is aboue the Priest in causes Ecclesiastical or that in a Christian common weale the next dignitie to Christ or God is not the priest but the Prince yet can we not to auoid the aeternal displeasure of God but thinke it and to showe our selues dutiful loial subiects subscribe vnto the same hauing learned so to do out of Gods holie word As for the supremacie chalenged by the Pope whom as heretofore so dailie but most sacrilegiouslie theie cal The general pastor yea The common Father of al Christians specialie of princes yea The chiefe priest and pastor of our soules yea The supreme pastor of Gods faithful people yea The high pastor of Christs vniuersal Church and to omit a number of such blasphemous titles The prince of Gods people as we know no such praerogatiue giuen him by the word of God so we do vtterly renounce and altogether mislike the same And to come vnto another Article concerning the booke of common praier not one that I know hath refused simplie to subscribe vnto that neither Though some denie not onlie that that forme but that anie forme of publique ordinarie praier is to be vsed in the Church and think it papistical and giue out that it doth but mocke the Lorde and the Lorde loatheth and spueth it out of his mouth though some againe write that it hath no part of the catholique seruice and cal it a Caluinistical a schismatical a damnable schismatical an heretical an abominable seruice These be the ●●●●dest and charitable words of them whom theie saie no protestant in England is able to reproue of a●●● vntruth or slander railing immodestie c. yet what is that vnto vs which of al Gods ministers that haue bine tried can iustlie be charged so much as to fauor much lesse to maintaine those vngodlie assertion And the auctors too who are theie Not nightbirds Not light hedded and fugitiue persons Not our professed and knowen enimies It maie not be denied but some do with-hold their pens from approuing that holie booke in euerie point by subscription yet are there none I trust that proudlie contemne it none that disdainfulie despise it none but in the feare of God and in pub Churches alwaies and onely doe vse it and manie haue set their hands there-unto and al I doubt not but so would were that which is offensiue reformed and that which is crooked made streight and that which is doubtful made euident and plaine Which things also are for number but verie fewe and therefore maie the more easilie be remoued and remaine for the most part in the directions and rubricks and therefore with lesse offence may be taken awaie Neither doth anie minister of the word that I heare denie by subscription to allow the booke concerning the Articles summe of our faith but what lawes do exact or enioine most willinglie haue theie offered to performe And no cause is there whie we should not so doe the auctors of the same do moue the soueraigne authoritie whereby it was established and is vpholden doth moue but the necessarie and al Christian doctrine there-in comprised doth most of al moue vs not onlie in heart to like thereof but with mouth also and euerie waie to praise it and to glorifie the goodnes of God for the same Our fore-fathers manie of them desired to see that though it were but secretlie and to the hazarding of their lands goods and liues which in that booke we openlie and publiquelie to our vnspeakable comfort and profit do see maintained Besides it is the badge of Eng. Christians whereby we are knowen to the vniuersal worlde not onlie to agree with al the godlie that haue bine or do liue at this present in the material points of religion but also to disagree from the Iewes Turks Papists Anabaptists and al other prophane men So that

Who thinke that the people of God be regenerate into a pure and Angelical state so that they be defiled with no contagion of sinne The Papistes simplie For though they graunt that the godlie maie rise againe from sinne yet they denie that they can so do without their Sacrament of Penance which is an error Conc.
