knowe not but surely there is good stoare of sea water betwene these forenamed Ilandes Irelande Sicily and Iselande yet all the water which is in the sea will not quenche that purgatorie which the Pope and his kitchin clarkes haue blowen and sette on fyer to roast their meate Thus much of the beginning and growing of this purgatory haue I shortly wrytten that the reader may knowe out of what forge this purgatory is flowen of which M. Fowler maketh so often mention in his Psalter doth so bitterly pray for the soules which are in it But as I sayd before if there be no purgatory at all thē are there no soules in it nor any thinge else and will M. Fowler teache his schollers to praye to God for nothinge This purgatory hath no grounde of the worde of God We haue neither cōmaundement to pray nor promise to be heard if we do pray for soules in purgatory therefore we can neither doe the one nor beleue the other He then that will praye with M. Fowler for soules in purgatory prayeth without faith which is a faithlesse labor at the least though I say no more But he that wil consider rightly what a faulte it is for a man to present him selfe before the Maiesty of God to make praier to him for nothing for a forgery false thing it wil make him I trow afeard to make such straunge prayers though M. Fowler be very busie with them But nowe will I leaue this purgatory I will in this treatise touche it no more supposing that this which I haue sayd is sufficient to vnfolde the forgerie of this popishe poppet M. Fowler teacheth him which will daunce after his pype to pray That he may execute the workes of vertue whereby he may come to euerlasting ioy and felicitie To exercise vertue to the pleasing of God is a good thinge and our dewtie But if Maister Fowler doth meane to teach his Reader to do this with this minde to hope thereby to come to that is to gaine and to obtayne euerlasting ioye and felicitie this is but to labour vainely and prowdly to get that by our doing which is freely giuen to the elect by the mercie of God in Iesus Christ For life euerlasting is the gifte of God by Iesus Christ as thApostle teacheth Iesus Christ is the onely waye that true way by which that happy theefe of whome we reade Luke 23. went into Paradise Iesus is he only and alone by thorough whome euerlasting life is giuen to the beleeuers The christian reader may wel perceaue therefore wherein this petition fayleth Then followeth a petition in which he teacheth his reader to pray thus Graunt me firme purpose mercifull Iesu to amend my life to recompense for those yeares which I haue mispent to the displeasure of thee in euill thoughtes delectations c. Also in breaking thy cōmaundements wherby I haue deserued damnation thine enimitie To pray for amendement of life is necessary But in that which followeth M. Fowler doth fowly abuse the holy name of Iesus For to pray to Iesus to haue a firme purpose to make recompense for those sinnes whereby we haue deserued damnation is to pray for purpose to deny and forsake the saluation which we haue in Iesus For Iesus is he which doth saue his people from their sinnes And therefore he is called Iesus M. Fowler hath giuen vs as he sayth A Psalter of Iesus he semeth to make great accompt of the often repeating of the name Iesus But now he doth shew him selfe not only not to know what Iesus doth meane but to be willing to draw his reader to deny that Iesus is Iesus in deede which is to deny the Lorde that bought him We haue learned that in that redemptiō which Iesus hath wrought for his elect he onely hath made the full recompense to God by him selfe alone for all their sinnes and therefore he is their Iesus and so is most truely called Iesus Iesus did giue him selfe for vs when we could giue nothing in recompense for our selues he did giue his body to be broken his bloode to be shed for the forgiuenes of our sinnes for which we could make no recompense He did beare the paines due to vs for our sinnes and as the Prophet sayth Isai 53. he hath borne our infirmities carried our sorrowes he was wounded for our transgressions he was broken for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was vppon him with his stripes are we healed Here is the true recompense made for sinne set forth and this recompense verely did Iesus make in his owne blessed body In if he payd the price of our redemption and made that only satis●●cing and fully sufficing recompense for vs wherein his owne self did beare our sinnes to his body on the tree 1. Pet. 2. by this recōpense by him made we are set free for by his wounds are we healed Sithence Fowler is not content with this recompense thus made by Iesus for vs but asketh an other let him tell me wherein that recompense which Iesus Christ hath made for vs is imperfect ▪ if it be imperfect shew wherin If it be not imperfect but most full and perfect then what meaneth M. Fowler to pray for full purpose to make any other recompēse him self for his sinnes Again I would know what it is that he or any childe of Adam can giue to God to make a recompense for his and their sinns What Iesus hath giuē we know Now let vs know what Fowler hath to giue Fowler can giue nothing verely but that which is corrupt but such thinges are not auaileable they are no recompense at all for sinnes And therefore God of his great mercy prouidinge better for vs then we coulde do for our selues hath giuen vnto vs Christ Iesus to make and to be the recompense for vs For we are not as S. Peter sayeth redeemed with corruptible thinges as siluer and golde but with the precious bloode of Christ For Iesus hath with this most precious price made full recompēce for vs thereby hath he so fully redeemed vs that therfore he is become the author prince of our saluation our redeemer our Sauiour to him only do we giue the glory and praise of for this worke of our saluation wrought by him selfe for vs God our heauenly father hath set forth his sonne Iesus to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood Rom. 3. It is Iesus only which did giue his life a ransome for many Our 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is his life which Iesus did giue for the price raunsome and recompence of our deliuerie For Christ onely is he in whom as the Apostle saith we haue redēption through his blood euen the forgiuenes of our sinnes Colo. 1. And Iesus alone is the reconciliation and attonement for our sinnes 1. Ioh. 2. Thus as we are taughte we doe learne of God him selfe that it is Iesus alone which doth

deliuer vs from that dampnation which through our sinnes we doe deserue euē by that recompence which he hath already made for vs in his owne most bitter death and bloody passion It is the blood of Christ which through the eternall spirite offered him selfe without spotte to God which purgeth our conscience from dead workes to serue the liuinge god It is Iesus Christ who hath appeared once to take away sinne by the sacrifice of him selfe Heb. 9. Now as the same Apostle sayth Heb. 10. Where the remission of these thinges is there is no more offeringe for sinne and I say where the recompence for sinne is thus made by Iesus there is no more recompence to be made for sinne How dare Fowler then teache vs to require to haue a firme purpose in vs to make our selues a recompence for this which Iesus only both coulde doe and also did fully sufficiently for vs What is this else but to aske of Iesus a firme purpose to renounce and forsake him It is nothing else verely but to forsake the redemption which we haue in Christ Iesus to repose our selues vppon our owne making of recompēce to pray as Fowler teacheth But what Prophet what Apostle or Sainct did euer so pray or taught vs to pray That which none hath done euer Fowler now dare do Dauid prayeth humbly to the Lorde in his Psalter that he will forget and forgiue the faults of his youth Psal. 25. And he reioyceth that the Lord hath forgiuen him his sins that he hath forgotten thē that he hath remoued them from him as farre as is the East from the West that he hath throwne them into the bottome of the sea Psal. 103. Dauid prayeth not to haue a firme purpose to make recompence for his sins but resteth in the blessed remission of his sinnes giuen him by God of his free goodnes mercy through Christ Iesus And againe Dauid in the Psal. 31. confesseth of him selfe this I acknowledge my sinne vnto thee neither hide I mine iniquitie for I thought I will confesse against my selfe my wickednes vnto the Lorde and thou hast forgiuē the iniquity of my sinne Thus doth Dauid in his Psalter singe an other manner of Psalme then Fowler doth in this his Psalter For the true Prophet Dauid prayeth for forgiuenesse of his sinnes and reioyceth in this that God did forgiue him which is such a thinge to be desired that Dauid sayth immediatly in that Psalme Therefore shall euery one that is godly make his prayer vnto thee c. What accompt then shall we make of Fowler who prayeth not for this but cleane contrarie to this for he will haue a firme purpose to make him selfe a recompence for his owne sinnes Surely neither is this prayer of Fowlers like to that of the godly nor him self godly in this praying For if euery one that is godly prayeth for forgiuenes of sins Fowler is vngodly who prayeth not for forgiuenesse but for a firme purpose to make a recompense for his sinnes The holy children of God are all most holily taught by Iesus our very Iesus and Sauior to pray Forgiue vs our trespasses This is an other manner of thing then to pray for a firme purpose to make our selues recōpense for our sinnes Simple is he that will forsake that forme of prayer which Iesus Christe hath taught and holy Dauid vsed in his Psalter Dauid I say who was that sweete Psalme singer of Israell 2. Sam. 23. will follow this faithles fiddle of Fowler Simple is he that will forsake that recompense which Iesus Christ hath once made for him trust to a recompense of his own making This were fowly to fal from Christ to runne headlong into the dungeon of despaire Al the Angels heauenly spirites in heauen all the men in earth can not make such a recompense Onely Iesus Christ Iesus I say alone was able to make and did make the full recompense for sinne did it fully for the faithfull therfore he hath founde euerlasting saluation for them which shal be saued as the Apostle sayth Heb. 9. which truely he could not haue gayned vnles the recompense which he made for them had bene fully sufficient Now to take this work of making recompense into our owne handes is either to deny or to dout of the fulnes of that recompense which Iesus Christ hath made for vs and this to doe is to robbe Iesus of his glory and the robber doth robbe him selfe of comfort and saluation in Christ so doth but deceaue him self and double his owne sinne damnation Yet thus woulde M. Fowler haue his Reader to pray to Iesu to haue not onely his purpose but his firme purpose to make him self recompense for his sinnes which is to robbe Iesus of his glory to be him self a deceit to him self to make his way to most spedy certein damnation If M. Fowler mistrust the recompense which Iesus hath made and doth desire to make his owne recompense for his owne sinnes then doth he not beleue that Iesus hath made either any recompense at al or not a full recompēse for his sinnes which is a point of plaine infidelitie Such as floweth in the Romish Catholike Church This peece of poyson lyeth in this Psalter of M. Fowlers euen this robbing of Iesus in M. Fowler his Psalter of Iesus An other petition followteh containing these wordes Graunt me the seuen giftes of the holy Ghost the eyght beatitudes the foure Cardinall vertues and in receiuing of the Sacrament deuoutly to dispose me M. Fowler delighteth him selfe greately in sett numbers and yet he is no good Arithmetrician When he speaketh of the seuen gifts of the holy ghost he should haue tolde his Reader what they be and where he learned that there be but seuen Surely we knowe that there are many more giftes then seauen which the holy Ghost doth giue to the elect children of God I say many more Likewise I saye of the Beatitudes of which he speaketh as though there were no more but eight It may be that I am so ignorant that I doe not know to what places of the holy scriptures M. Fowler had his eye in these his set numbers Therefore let him name the places him selfe proue to vs if he can either that they do containe these precise numbers of seauen or eight and no more or that there be no more giftes of the holy Ghost but seauen nor more beatitudes but eight In the meane tyme the Christian Reader which loueth with godly reuerence to searche the Scriptures in searchinge shall finde that there be many more giftes of the holy Ghost then seauen many more beatitudes then eight Let not him therfore be thus abridged of his blessednes by Maister Fowler if he doe loue sanctification and blessednes M. Fowler seemeth also to haue some smattering of Philosophy in telling vs of foure cardinal vertues But some of his Maisters in teaching vertues haue spoken of the
