haue your will now shall you do your worst Now shal ye haue out guiltles blood for which ye lōg did thirst We feare not of this death we know that al must die Yea happie are those sillie soules whō thus the Lord doth trie O welcome ioifull daie ô welcome happie paine A crowne immortall with this flesh we shall receiue againe Now hath the Lord here brought and placte vs in this death Not for because he hates his truth but for to trie our faith The counsell of the Lord hath sent what we receaue And you to vs shal doo no more than God shall giue you leaue And you that are our foes beware the deadlie signe Which showes you none of Gods elect while thus ye doo repine Against his knowen truth for which we vndertake To spend our blood in his defence and suffer for his sake The blood of Abel cride for vengeance to the Lord Which fell on Cain al his seed whō men earth abhord From which the Lord defend both you and eke our land O Lord reuenge not this our wrong but stay thy furio●s hand And giue them yet some space for to repent this thing And for our death we doo forgiue both them eke our King Whose life the Lord preserue in health and perfect peace And grāt that vnder him the truth may haue some ioiful ease And though you haue some power this flesh for to destroy Yet cannot vs your rage deuide from Christs immortal ioy And though our breakfast seeme to flesh and blood some paine Yet shall we sup with Iesus Christ and ease receaue againe Into thy blessed hands ô Lord our soules receaue For of this earth and earthlie trash ô Lord we take our leaue Thus on the Lord they cride which was their onelie trust Till that the flame had staid their voice bodie burnt to dust Now we that doo remaine our parts are yet to plaie But when ô Lord our time shall come grant vs like happy daie And when our triall drawes no matter where nor when That God will giue like constant faith let vs crie all Amen The iudgements of the Lord shewed vpon these bloodie persecuters in this first outrage by the example of manie the like out of the Scriptures BVt let vs heere behold Gods iudgements iust and true Which neuer faile to follow them which doo his truth pursue As wicked Caine did long poore Abels blood to haue So did the Lord marke him to be a vile and vagrant slaue When Esau did intend his brother for to kill The Lord did blesse good Iacob so he could not haue his will When Pharao followed fast Gods people to haue slaine Amiddes the flouds then iustlie fell both he and all his traine As Miriam grudgde against the truth which she did know So did her fault soone finde her out a leaper white as snow When Korath and his mates good Moses did depraue The earth did gape and they went all aliue into the graue And whil'st at Bephidim Gods people did remaine The Amalecks of Esaus brood poore Iacob would haue slaine But God did not forget this foule and filthie thing Which after smote with fatall sword both them and eke their King Though Saul did persecute Gods chosen Prophet long Yet did the Lord at length reuenge poore Dauid his wrong For now the hand that itcht this Dauids blood to spill Was it that framde the deadlie blade his master for to kill That Nabal which refusde his helpe to Dauid send Was striken so that there he made a short and wofull end And Shimei that reuilde King Dauid to his face It was not long but that he died in poore and wofull case And as Achitephel great mischiefe did intend So did the Lord from traitors all his chosen still defend Whose counsell being quasht for so the Lord assignde He got him home hangd himselfe to case his careful minde So Ierebeam felt Gods iudgements sharpe and colde Whē he thrust out his wicked hand his Prophet for to hold So Iezabel which did Elias once pursue VVhen Iehu came to Iezrael her faithfull seruant threw Her carcasse headlong downe from window high to streate VVhere trāpled down the greedy dogs her cursed flesh did eat Gainst Christ the Pilate which wrong iudgement erst did giue Did kill himselfe as one that was not worthie for to liue And when against the truth proud Herodes hand was bent He killed Iames and Peter was in prison closelie pent The Angel of the Lord of pride did show the price That in a while his cursed corpes was eaten all with lice As Iudas was content his master to betraie So guiltie conscience did consent to worke his owne decaie Like as in former age to rebels stout and strong Gods iustice hath been plainlie seene in lieu of cursed wrong So all this faithlesse troope which leudlie did conspire This murder in S. Iames his streete haue likewise felt his ire For first the Praetor which Munerius had to name For iust desert in publike view receiued open shame And yet besides all this they straightlie did proclaime That he should voide his natiue soyle not returne againe But whil'st he was in holde his conscience did confesse This plague was iust for that he sought Gods chosen to oppres A Iudge that sentence gaue against his knowen faith An angel strake him from the Lord with sharp sodain death Another Iudge that was now sicke and like to die Cride out I see my iudgement iust for that vile caitiffe I By mallice haue been faine Gods people for to kill Who praie and liue most godlie bent according to his will Two others being cheefe in murder that was past By sodaine death in view of all like vengeance now doo tast And other two which now of blood had dronke their fill As they came from this murther they did one other kill Now let vs learne by this Gods truth for to imbrace That we feele not by due desart his anger in like case The notable famous and constant Martirdome of Annas Burgeus which being one of the Kings Counsell was burnt for the Gospel of Iesus Christ ABout this verie time by force of sodaine iarre Betweene the Kings of Spaine and France was likelie to be warre But Herode to agree with Pilate was content And for to murder Iesus Christ they both doo ioyne consent So now there was a league where both did giue their word To roote and rase Gods sowen truth by fagot fire and sword The graffe that Sathan greeues did yet begin to spring The tree of life some ioyfull frute as now did seeme to bring Whose bud enameld greene and blossome sweete to see Inraged Sathans fierie moode with mallice so that he In furie headlong runnes he

false and bloodie fact this place shalbe abhorde What answere canst thou make to this vnhappie towne Which for thy traitrous act shall loose his glorie renowne What answere canst thou giue to manie a weeping childe To manie matrones husbandles what reason canst thou yeeld And deemst thou not that God will plague this sinfull land For this our blood fearst thou not Gods iust reuēging hand Yes though at this our greefe thou proudlie now doo iest Yet God will not forget the blood of them that be opprest Did Ioab die in peace that had by treason slaine Two noble men Did not his blood requite the same againe Did Abs●lom likewise that wrought his brothers death By treason vnder frendlie show and falsing plighted faith Thus prosper long No no for God did quicklie send To this rebellious wicked wretch a swift and fearfull end Be sure therefore of this and marke what Pilles hath said That this our blood by shedding of thy blood shalbe repaid Which said from off his backe he put a costlie cloke And to a frend among the presse the same thus saying toke Take this and let the same a token still remaine That Pilles thy frend by treason was here most vniustlie slaine With that he did commend his soule vnto the Lord Vpon his knees with lifted eies still waiting for the sword Then one of Princes gard to end this bitter strife Thrust thorough Pilles with partisan who yeelded ther his life This was the cruell ende of that most famous man To read the same without remorse I thinke no creature can This Rout in Paris streates which posted vp and downe Foure hūdred houses sacked haue within that wicked towne The King therewith directs his letters out in post To Cities all his message flies in hast to euerie coast That they as Paris had with murder should oppresse As manie in their townes as did the Gospell there professe Which leaud and bloodie charge a wonder is to see How glad and willing to obaie most townes and Cities be But one among the rest a place of ancient fame Did Lion-like behaue her selfe as Lions was her name For though in other townes by murder manie fell Yet Lions for her cruell hart all others did excell Where then vnhappie then a Lion as the chiefe One Mandelot was Gouernor a blacke and bloodie theefe Vvho hauing once receiude these letters from the King Vvith greedy mind he sets abroach this vile vnworthie thing Vvho caused out of hand his Crier to proclaime That al within the towne which did the Gospel then maintain Should presentlie resort vnto a certaine place Vvhere Mandelot would haue them al appeere before his face This message being done the godlie doo obay And to the place appointed them they came without delaie Vvhere Mandelot they found with visage pale and sad Vvho nothing said but bids them all to prison to be had The godlie trapped thus and thus to thraldome sent As sheepe vnto the slaughter they to prison meeklie went Vvhere lying in the Clinke their feete and hands were bound And by the cruell Iailors were laid prostrate on the ground Then Mandelot commands the hangman for to call Vvhom he enioynes to enter in with axe to kill them all But this so fearfull fact the hangman did refuse And bad him for so wicked act some fitter man to chuse For I will not defile my hands with guiltlesse blood Nor giue consent said he to doo the thing that is not good On such as are condemnde by Iustice and by law I onelie am in publicke place my deadlie blade to draw The man repelled thus inuents another waie He wills the souldiers of the towne these prisners for to slaie But they likewise replide that they would not distaine The glorie of their martial feates with fame that they had slain Poore simple naked men bound prostrate at their feete It is a seruice sir saie they for souldiours farre vnmeete And therefore if you haue this murder thus decreed Chuse out some other men that list performe so hard a deed Yet if in Rebell sort their banners were displaide To put them all vnto the sword we would not be afraid But now sith that we know no fault that they haue done Let them for vs proceed heerein that haue the same begun Againe refused thus the man with furie bent For all the butchers of the towne he straight his message sent To whom in sauage sort his minde he did vnfolde And had them goe kill them all whom he had laid in holde These beastlie butchers then no conscience made at al But with their blodie butchering kniues like tigers they do fall Vpon these sillie soules in murder fiercelie bent Not like to men but rather as some furies had been sent From hell to stop the course of Gods afflicted word So quicklie did these helhounds put these people to the sword Here some that prostrate were and did for mercie crie And other some vnto the Lord that lift their voices hie They killed not but did their hands cut off at first And after chopt in sauage sort with blood to quēch their thirst Such shrikes and wailing cries from prisons did rebound That euerie corner of the towne might hear their woful soūd The mournfull mothers wept whom nature did compell To see these hoūds before their face their louing babes to quel The tender infant doth for help to father crie The wofull father cannot helpe his childe before he die The husband to his wife the frend to frend doth call With heauie sighes lamenting this their most vnhappie fall And they that strongest are to weake doo comfort giue That so they may be sugred words their fainting harts relieue Of these captiued soules such was the piteous plight That verie Papists did lament to see this cruell sight And some that loude the Pope these dealings did detest Who for their credit did not thinke this rigor to be best And manie women of the towne deuoide of crime With horror of this sodain feare had child before their time For from the common Gaole in sight of shining Sunne The smoking bloud from streat to streat with grief was seen to runne But one amongst the rest an old aged man Calde Francis Collute for his faith a lasting credit wan To whom with bloodie axe when butchers did resort Vpon his Sonnes with teares he fell and did them thus exhort You know quoth he my Sonnes what pain tender care Your louing Father from your youth hath had for to prepare Your hearts to know the Lord his truth to intertaine Which farre surmounteth fading wealth hope of worldlie gaine Now is our haruest in now must our fruite appeere Now wil the Lord require accompt how we haue liued here The finall axe is laid to roote of falling tree And how we hav the truth imbrac't the world forthwith must see Be

Dilated by the sentence of God in the lawe against murder by examples both out of the Scriptures other Authors concerning the horrible end that hath fallen vpon wilfull murderers and lastlie the bloodie death of this blood-sucking King himselfe NOw let vs see the ende of this periured King And let vs weigh in future time what fearfull fruite did spring From falsed faith And first I brieflie will repeate The sentence of the mightie God gainst murder and deceate Then shall we plainlie see how that in euerie land The Lord according to his law with iust reuenging hand The bloodie tyrants strikes with all their faithlesse crue As by examples we maie see of such as shall ensue Vvho so saith God shall shed the blood of man in vaine Shall with the shedding of his blood requite the same againe And he that by deceite his neighbour shall betraie Or shall with guile presumptuouslie his brother seeke to slaie He shall not scape although he to the altare flie But drawen foorth he iustlie shall without all pitie die Such cursed bloodie men Gods plague doth follow still For wicked King Abimelech who was content to kill His seuentie brothers all the kingdome for to haue From iust reuenge he could not long his cursed carkasse saue For from a womans hand a milstone downe was sent Frō off a wall which with the weight his brain pan al to rent And after by his Page was thrust vnto the heart With sword lest that a womās stroke his glory shuld subuert As Triphon did intrap with face of frendlie cheere Good Ionathan to whom he did a faithfull frend appeare So did he quicklie feele the weight of falsed word Who shortlie was by Simon slaine and iustlie put to sword I read also of one Aristobolus by name Who hath for murder left behinde a blacke bloodie fame For first he did consent with famine for to pine His mother for because she would the kingdome not resigne And also was content by death to make away Antigonus his brother deere which was his owne decaie For when the deed was done he felt a present griefe In conscience for so cruell act which then without reliefe Did dailie so torment his sore afflicted hart That fresh remorse did often giue new cause of greater smart At length from grislie corse his blood by peacemeale came For brothers blood frō earth did call his blood to quit the same And thus in fearfull wise he yeelded vp his breath So was his fierce wicked life repaide with worthie death Our Charles like vnto this from Gods reuenging hand By bloodie death repaies the blood he shed within his land From eares from nose frō mouth from hart that was so stout Frō euery part his blood was seen wher blood might issue out The man that would not yeeld when men did mercie craue For mercie cries vnto the Lord but mercie none can haue For he that will not help the poore when they dooth call Shall call himselfe when he hath need not be heard at all The heart that was so proud now feeles the bitter paine Whereat he iested when he saw his faithfull subiects slaine The eares that would not heare the poore afflicted crie But greedelie to sucke their blood would credit euerie lie With blood are stopped vp that they shall heare no more Such heauy plagues for wicked men the Lord hath stil in store The mouth that would not speake to doo his brother good Insteed of words doth vomit out the clotts of filthie blood The nose that did detest of Truth the pleasant smell From filthie heart doth willinglie the stinking blood expell So that we plainlie see that blood for blood doth craue And he shall not escape that seekes his brothers blood to haue Then cursed be the mouth and man that did perswade This wretched King that he was in a good and godlie trade In that he did by guile the godlie so allure And afterwards by treason did their wished death procure Much like said he you be to Lewes which heretofore Said in the Latine that he knew one sentence no more Which was That he which Truth in words will alwaies bring And not dissemble knoweth not the skill to be a King Naie this was rather like the red and cruell raigne Of Mithridates who did cause of Romanes to be slain A hundred fiftie thousand once by message that was sent Whē outwardlie there did appear nothing but frendship mēt The King of Arragon like mate of cursed crue By like deceit in Sicill once eight thousand Frenchmen slew To Philip once it was his ruine and his death In that he often brake his oath and vow of
