he might instructe our Cambrydge men in the sincere doctryne of the Chrysten religion being spēt with age and his strengthe vtterlye decayed forsoke his owne countreye refused not the tedyousnesse of the lōg iourney was not afrayed to aduenture hym selfe vpon the sea but had more regarde of the dilating and amplifyeng of the church of Chryst than of all other thinges So in conclusion he came euerye man receyued and welcomed him afterward he liued in suche wyse as it might appere he came not hither for his owne sake but for oures For he sought not to driue away the syckenesse that he had taken by the troublesome trauayle of his longe iourney and albeit his strength were weakened and apalled yet he regarded not the recouerye of his healthe but put him selfe to immoderate labour and intollerable paine only to teache and instructe vs. And yet toward this so noble worthy a persō while he liued were shewed all the tokens of humanitie gentlenesse reuerence and courtesie y ● coulde be and when he was deade the most horrible cruelty and spight that might be ymagined For what can be so common as to graunte vnto the liuinge house and abidinge place and to the deade buriall Or what is he that will finde in his harte to geue enterteinment and to cherishe that person in hys house wyth all kinde of gentlenesse that he ●an deuise vpon whom he coulde not vouchesafe ●o to bestowe buryall when he is dead Agayne what an inconstancye is it with great solemnitie and with much aduauncement and commendacion of his vertues to burye a man honorablye and anon after to break vp his tombe and pul him out spitefully and wrongfullye to slaunder him beynge deade who duryng his lyfe tyme alway deserued praise Al these thinges haue happened vnto Bucer who whyles he lyued had free accesse into the moste gorgeous buyldings and stately palaces of the greatest Princes and when he was dead could not be suffered to enioye so much as his poore graue Who being layd into the grounde noblye to his eternall fame was afterward to his vtter defacing spitefully taken vp and burned The whych things albeit they did no harme to the dead for the dead carcases feele no paine neyther doth the fame of godly persons depende vpon the report of vulgar people and the lyghte rumours of men but vpon the ryghtefull censure and iust iudgement of God yet it reproueth an extreame crue●nesse and vnsaciable desire of reuēgement in them whych offer suche vtter wrong to the dead These persons therfore whō they haue pulled oute of theyr graues and burned I beleue if they had ben aliue they would haue cast out of house and home they woulde haue driuen out of al mens company and in thende wyth moste cruell tormētes haue torne them in pieces being neuerthelesse alientes being straungers being fetched hither by vs out of suche a countrey wherethey not onely neded not to feare anye punishement but contrary wise wer alwaies had in much reputacion as well amonge the noble honorable as also among the vulgar common people But yet howe muche more gentle than these men was Byshop Gardener otherwise an earnest defendour of the popyshe doctryne Who agaynste his owne countreymen let passe no crueltye whereby he mighte extinguyshe wyth fyre and sword the lyghte of the Ghospell and yet he spared forreyners because the ryghte of theym is so holye that there was neuer nation so barbarous that woulde violate the same For when he had in hys power the renoumed clerke Peter Martyr then teachynge at Oxforde he would not kepe him to punishe him but as I haue heard reported when he should go his way he gaue him wherewith to beare his charges So that the thing which he thought he myghte of ryghte do to his owne countreymen he iudged vnlawfull to do to straungers And whom the lawe of God could not withhold frō the wicked murtheringe of his owne countreymen him did the lawe of man bridle from killynge of straungers the which hath euer appeased all barbarous beastlynesse and mitigated al crueltye For it is a poynte of humanitye for man man to mete together one to come to another though they be neuer so far separated set a sūder both by sea by land without the which accesse there can be no entercourse of merchaundy se there can be no conference of wittes whyche fyrste of all engendered learninge nor any commoditye of society long to continue To repulse thē that come to vs and to prohibite thē our countreyes is a poynt of inhumanitie Now to entreat thē euil that by our sufferance dwel amongest vs and haue encrease of household household stuffe it is a poynt of wickednesse Wherefore this crueltye hathe farre surmounted the crueltie of all others the whyche to satisfye the vnsaciable greedinesse therof drewe to execution not only straungers broughte hither at our entreatance and sēding for but euen the wythered and rotten carcases digged out of theyr graues to thentente that thun measurable thurst which coulde not be quenched wyth sheading the bloude of theym that were alyue myght at the least be satisfyed in burning of dead mennes bones These my brethren these I say are the iust causes which haue so sore prouoked the wrath of God against vs. Bicause that in doing extreame iniurie to the deade we haue bene prone and readye but in puttinge the same away we haue bene slowe and slacke For verelye I beleue if I may haue libertye to say freely what I thynke ye shal beare w t me if I chauce to cast forth any thing vnaduisedlye in the heate and hasty discourse of my oration that euen this place in the whiche we haue so oftentimes assembled beyng defyled wyth that newe kinde of wickednesse suche as man neuer heard of before is a let hinderaunce vnto vs when we call for the helpe of god by meanes wherof our praiers are not accepted whych we make to appease the godhead to winne him to be fauorable to vs againe The bloude of Abell shed by Cain calleth crieth frō y t earth y t sucked it vp lykewise thundeserued burninge of these bodyes calleth vppon God almighty to punishe vs and crieth that not onelye thautoures of so great a wickednesse but also the ministers therof are vnpure the places defiled in whiche these thinges wer perpetrated thaire infected which we take into our bodyes to thentent that by sundrye diseases and sickenesse we maye receyue punishement for so execrable wickednesse Looke wel about ye my dere brethren and consider with youre selues the euelles that are past and ye shal se howe they tooke their beginning at Bucers death following one in anothers necke euē vnto this day Fyrst and formost when we were euen in the chiefest of our mornīg scarcely yet recomforted of our sorow for his death the sweatinge sickenesse lyghted vpon vs the which passing swiftly through al Englād and as it wer in
