or can be And though our good God hetherto hath of his most gratious goodnes disappointed them of all their purposes blessed be his name for it yet they do still biggly breath foorth blood and slaughters and cease not For euen at this day they do by libells and letters threatten our ruine and blowe foorth their owne triumphe And herein they are so forewarde that they do name the persons which shal be they saye their captaines They assigne the time in which they shall reigne ouer vs they shall florishe we shall smoake or else their kalender fayleth them yea they do note the men almost by name whom they haue appointed to the slaughter and thus they do blowe vp the trumpette of their triumphe but before the victory thankes be to god Surely we do not feare them at all but we do feare God whose iust wrath we do prouoke by our vnholy handling of his most holy Gospel This this is it that doth most feare vs for by this we know that we do deserue that he shoulde once againe scourge vs with the whippes of these Popish Philistines But we do pray him that he will haue mercy on vs euen for his owne goodnes sake For he is kinde mercyfull and slowe to wrath yea he sayth of him selfe Isai 27. Anger is not in me May it please him therefore to giue vs the grace to be at peace at one with him we care not then though all the Papistes in the worlde and all the Deuills in hell do sette them selues against vs Whilest they fume freatte at vs we learne to beleeue that goodnes of the Lord which for our comfort he doth laye foorth Isai 48. where he sayth For my names sake I will differ my wrath for my praise I wil restraine it from thee that I cutte thee not of for mine owne sake will I do it And we humbly pray as they did Ier. 14. VVe acknowledge o Lorde our wickednes and the iniquities of our fathers for we haue sinned against thee Doe not abhorre vs for thy names sake cast not downe the throne of thy glory remember and breake not thy couenaunt with vs. And to this also we trust that he will haue an eye now as euer he hath had to his enemies and cutte them shorte of their purpose according to his owne good pleasure that they do not triumphe ouer him so we know that God as he is able so he wil deale against them for vs. He doth bid vs not to feare man whose breath is in his nostrells For wherein is he to be esteemed He biddeth vs not to feare them which can but kill the body but to feare him who when he hath killed the bodie hath power to cast the soule into euerlasting fire Notwithstanding all the bigge braue bragges which Papists make it seemeth that all thinges as yet do not come about to serue the turne so roundly as they woulde and therefore in the meane time they do content them selues to take a lower course and will by cullor of prayer creepe into our bosomes But the Apostle sayeth that the deuill can turne him selfe into the fashion of an Angell of lighte And therefore it is no great thinge though his ministers transforme them selues as though they were the ministers of righteousnes but their ende shal be according to their workes By libells at Oxford and bulls from Rome they breath out the furye of their conceaued malice and sodenly they chaunge their mode into their kind of prayer They do now herein as their kinge the Pope hath done hertofore against vs The last Pope Pius thundred out a bull of his currish censure against our good Queene Elizabeth to turne her out of her royall state and life and after that he sent into England closely a messenger whose name as Doctor Saunders telleth vs is Nicolas Morton by office a priest a meete officer for such a Pope purpose This man was sente to follow that Popish bull and he did it so freashly that thereon did follow a rebellion in the North partes of this lande But God almightie quenched this fire in his most riche mercy The rebells ranne their country Pope Pius by death is picked ouer the pearche Our Queene Elizabeth doth still holde her place thankes be to God reigneth in Godly quietnes O Lord graunt that she may longe so do Pope Gregorie that now is seeing this roughe attempt of his predecessor haue so euil succes chaungeth the course of his Popishe proceading and hath nowe sente by his suppostes certain bulls into England in which he promiseth full remission of sinnes to them which after that dissembled deuotion which he putteth downe shal pray for the conuersion of Englande he sayeth to the Catholicke fayth but he doeth meane the peruertion of Englande from the true Christian faith into that filthe and falsehoode of the Romish error Thus the Popes are cōtēt to fall from armes fighting and cursing to faire promises flattery and praying But I trust English men for whose pleasure the Pope wil seeme to haue brought foorth this bull haue learned more wisedome in the Gospell of God then now to be made calues by such a Popish bull In like manner our Louanistes hauing spente as it seemeth the greatest parte of their common shotte at vs but in vaine thankes be to God beginne to allure vs to like of them by teaching vs to praye But we haue already learned to praye of the best schoolemaister that euer was is or shal be euen of our Lord Iesus Christ And therefore we haue no eare to hearken to these Popish bunglers and corrupters of holy thinges They haue to this ende published in prince of late a thing which they call Iesus Psalter and the author thereof or Master Fowler the printer therof doth tell vs That there be three manner of Psalters the first is called Dauids Psalter which containeth thrise fifty Psalmes the second sayth he is called the Psalter of our Lady cōteining thrise fiftie Aues the third is called the Psalter of Iesu or the inuocatiō of Iesus conteining fiftene principall petitions which tenne times repeated make also thrise fiftie What meane these men so farre to forgette them selues that they do now commend to the Reader but these three manner of Psalters Their forefathers haue ben more liberall to vs as shall forthwith appeare The Psalter of Dauid conteyning 150. Psalmes we do acknowledge to be deliuered to vs by the spirite of God for our comforte and instruction For Christ Iesus himselfe teacheth vs that Dauid in his Psalmes doth speake inspired by the holy Ghost And therfore with all humblenes of harte and reuerēce we do receaue the same as a booke of holy Scripture deliuered to vs as other bookes of the holy Scripture are euen by God him selfe We do not receaue it as a Psalter giuen to vs by the Papistes For it is no Psalter of theirs although it pleaseth them nowe in
Iesu did Iesus Christ euer giue them commission thus to vse his name or did he euer make this psalter Lette them shew this by the holy Scriptures If he did not then lette them tell vs if any of his Apostles or disciples did make this psalter or did deliuer this psalter to vs and did tell vs on their creadite that it was the psalter of Iesus If neither Christ Iesus him selfe nor any of his Apostles nor disciples did deliuer this psalter to vs from whom then did it come who did make it who can assure vs that it is as they saye the psalter of Iesu Who was so bolde with the name of the Lord Iesus to put it to this psalter as though it were made by Iesus We know that there haue ben some olde deceauers which haue published their owne forgeries in the name of Iesus as there haue bene also manye double dealers which haue foysted out their falshoodes vnder the name of good men which haue bene of greate creadite in the Church of god Surely our Papistes coulde not haue picked out a more glorious name then is this name of Iesu vnder which they mighte haue sette foorth this their new founde psalter But this to do is to the authors thereof a thing most daungerous For it maketh them guiltie of taking the glorious name of Iesus in vaine and sheweth that they haue no deutifull regarde of the glory due to the Lord Iesus and to his most glorious name S. Paule intreating Philip. 2. how the Lorde of glorie Iesus Christ did for our sake humble him selfe and became obediente to the death euen the death of the crosse sayth also that now God hath highly exalted him and giuen him a name aboue euery name that at the name of Iesu euery knee shoulde bowe of thinges in heauen and thinges in earth and thinges vnder the earth and that euery tonge shoulde confes that Iesus Christ is the Lorde vnto the glorie of God the father Thus doth the holy Apostle teach that God hath giuen to Iesus a name a dignitie and power aboue all names dignities and powers For all power in heauen and earth is giuen vnto him He is so aboue all that they all must bowe the knee at the name of Iesus which as Hierom sayth Non ad genua corporis sed ad subiectionem mentis inclinationem animae cordisque obsequium pertinet doth not pertaine to the bowinge of the knee of the bodie but it pertaineth to the subiection of the mind the bowinge of the soule and obedience of the harte for all must obey him and be subiect to Iesus to the will maiestie power of Iesus Christ Sithence this glorie is due and to be giuen to our Lorde Iesus and to his glorious name howe dare Papistes be thus bolde to vse and abuse it to filthie sectes of their owne setting foorth to brotherhoodes to pardons feastes Masses mattens psalters such like thinges as they deuise them selues vnder that most holy name to gette creadite to their falshoodes and sale to their marchaundise Now we Christians do know by the doings and preachings of Iesus which are sette foorth vnto vs by the most true witnesses of him that is by his holy Apostles and disciples we do by their witnes perceaue that Iesus made no such brotherhoodes feastes Masses mattens howres Euensonges pardons no such psalters for if he had they woulde haue made some mention of them Yea and by the comparing of that which they did truely write of Iesu with these forgeries of Papistes we see the contrariety betwene them so greate that their first most auncient and true writinge doth sufficiently condemne these popish nouelties and this new psalter as a noueltie of falshoode and errour I call it a noueltie as it is If Papistes will disproue me then lette them show what Apostle what auncient apostolique man what approued auncient catholique doctor what auncient generall councell hath commended vnto vs this psalter as the Psalter of Iesu If any shewe vs but if none then is it a noueltie deuised either by that secte of Iesuites or els it may be that Fowler now wanting worke to occupie his presse for his olde maisters which were wont to sette him on worke haue spente their stoare and do not occupie him so freashely as they haue done and him selfe desireth hath deuised with some of his brethren how to make this psalter and so it maye be called Fowlers psalter but not the psalter of Iesus He doth adorne his worke with this braue title Certaine deuoute and Godly petitions commonly called Iesus psalter What deuotion and godlynes is in them shall hereafter appeare But lette M. Fowler tell vs when did this common callinge beginne I saye when did it beginne and among whom It must haue a large compasse that is common Is it ynough to make it common because now the Papistes doe call it common or because M. Fowler doth by his printe call it common Truely this is but a straighte narrow and shorte common but euen such a common is this as is their catholicisme In this their psalter they do as truely name common as they do in the rest of their religion name Catholique for there is no truth in either of thē Neither is this psalter so commonly called nor their religion Catholique but onely so called by them selues It seemeth also that the worke of this psalter did fall out shorter then M. Fowler thought it would and therefore he hath filled vp aboue three score leaues of his booke as in one of his copies is to be seene though it be lefte out in the lesser booke with a certaine new deuised Imagerie so the sithence wordes fayled him he might yet fill vp his booke with some thing to feede the eyes of his simple reader that is with a new stampe of Imagerie This his workemanshippe of Imagerie he doth adorne with this title Godly contemplations for the vnlearned He doth also for confirmation of this his worke adde a sentence out of Basill which he turneth into English meeter yet cannot this his whole worke of Imagerie be warranted by that sentence of Basill For it speaketh of such Imagerie onely as is reported vnto vs by historie But there are among the images made by M. Fowler some whereof we haue no reports by historie In what historie doth he reade that the Lorde God almightie which made both heauen and earth did in the creatiō of them shew him selfe in the likenes of an aged person with a crowne vpon his heade It was wont to be among popish painters a triple Popelike crowne but with M. Fovvler it is nowe but a single crowne not so much as a close crowne such as kinges monarches do weare but euen such a one as it pleaseth M. Fowler to put vpon his head Who taught M. Fowler to be thus bold with the Lorde God to make such a base and earthlie image of his glorious and heauenlie Maiesty Let vs looke
