Screuen Robert Salte Walter Pereson and Thomas Reding What nede I els to stay vpon the deathes of the good mē the Abbotes of Colchester Glastonbury and Redyng or els of Powel Fetherstone Abell Germayne Stone Forrest manye others to whome death was nothyng ferefull for the quarell of God and his churche These and a greate number mo died for the cause of the catholyke fayeth that fayeth whiche hath euer cōtinued from age to age with the consente of all kyngdomes christen euen from the begynnyng whose memory shall be magnified tyll the ende of the worlde But the deathes of oure cranke Heretykes lye dead and are buryed in the graue of cankred obliuion couered with perpetuall infamye excepte they be enrolled in a fewe threehalfepennye bookes whiche steale oute of Germanye replete aswell with treason against the Kyng Quenes maiesties as with other abhominable lyes Moreouer in the late kynges tyme Edwarde the syxte wherein heresie expressed her game there were many godly mē which for the defence of the moste honorable ▪ Sacramente of the Altar and the other sacramentes yelded their bodies to pryson As the late worthye Prelate Doctour Stephen Gardiner byshop of Wynchester with other Bysshoppes and men of greate learning Yea if their deathes had bene required they woulde with moste willing heartes haue suffered the same But the proceders then knewe well inoughe that that was not the waye too procede in their doynges leaste they should haue become odious to all sortes of people But they fared lyke VVyat the late rebell of Kent who went aboute to achyue his enterprise not with rapine and spoyle according to the nature of rebellion but with all lenite and gentlenes thereby too allure the peoples hartes the rather to embrace and aide his attemptes but as his cloake was then spanishe so was the others of late time Iewishe Then hauing all these not onely wel learned but also godly men whiche aswell haue suffred paynes of death for their religion as these protestātes haue for theirs what haue they gayned then by this obiection If the stoute death of a man doeth approue his cause good then what cause haue the protestantes to refell the religion nowe vsed But here to finyshe this matter to procede in further explication of the fantasticall feates and abuses of the protestantes let vs learne further of Saint Paule who saith these wordes Knowe this saith he that in the last daies shal come perillous tymes For men shal be louers of thē selues couetous boasters proude cursed speakers disobedient to fathers and mothers vnthankeful vngodly vnkinde truce breakers false accusers Riotors dispisers of them that be good Trayters heddy hygh minded gredy vpon voluptuousnes more thē the louers of God hauing a similitude of godlinesse but deniing the power therof and suche abhorre For of this sorte are they which enter into houses and bring into bondage women laden with sinne whiche women are led with diuers lustes euer lerning and neuer able to come to knowledge of the trut he Nowe lette euerye man weyghe these wordes of s Paule And note if we haue not had amonges vs the like false prophetes with the lyke cōdicions First he sayeth they shall be louers of themselues Christ saieth He that loueth himselfe more then me is not worthy of me Who be they whiche loue them selfes more thē they do Christe Doubtes they that prefer y ◠loue of this worlde before Christ geuing place to the worlde and the lustes thereof Which vice is commen to al men and vsed of to many especially to suche whereof mencion is made before whiche neglectynge the brynging of their affections into bondage liue as their owne sensualitie doth leade them not caringe for the holsome preceptes of goddes moste holy worde but disobeying the lawes of the magistrates constituted too a good purpose to yoke the heauye carcase to thyntent he maye the better obeye the preceptes diuine For if the appetites do rule with out resistance they will soone ouercome y ◠imbecillitie of nature A victory or fielde is soone won if there be none to resiste Then the protestantes beynge maryed priestes yeldynge the seruyce of their bodye to the fraylitie of the fleshe was thereof ouercommed But if they had bene good souldiours and had fought vnder the standerd of continencie no doubt but they had wonne the fielde Thinke you Alexander the great had he geuen his minde too serue his appefites in his first warres had proued so valiant a conquerour ▪ No truely For after his first victory agaynst Darius kyng of Persia hauing alwayes in his hoste the wyfe of thesame Darius whiche incomparably excelled all other women in beautie woulde neuer after he had once sene her haue her to come into his presence albeit that he caused her estate styll to be maynteyned and with asmuche honor as euer it was And to them whiche wondryng at the ladies beautie marueyled why Alexander did not desyre too company with her he answered saying It shoud be to him a reproche to be subdued by the wyfe of him whome he had vanquyshed This was a ryght conquerour worthy to wynne all the worlde whiche in this sorte could haue the victory ouer his owne lustes being a cruel fight for a faint harted souldior This fight fought Scipio surnamed Aphricanus whē he hadde wonne Carthage For emonges diuers women whiche were taken one most fairest emōges the rest was ▪ brought vnto him to do with her his pleasure But when he knew that she was affiaunced to another called Indibilis he caused him to be sent for and perceiuyng the louyng tokens betwene them he deliuered her to Indibilis paying for her raūsome and adding further an honourable porcion of his owne treasure This was another excellente victorye gotten of a famous souldior which would not thoughe he had libertie violate his mynde vpon the beautie of a woman But our protestantes and married preistes neglecting their first fayth cared not vpon whom they had bestowed themselues lytle waying the counsell of saint Paule that he can bee no good souldiour to God which enwrappeth himselfe with secular affaires These be thei which pretended godlynes and vnder the hypocrisie of marrying deceiued the simple begyled their owne selues For when they thought themselues surest of their fained wyues they did the soner

This place of Esay they marueilously reioyce in vsing it as a sure shelde to defende their doctrine But herein they playe their old partes in alleging one truth to confounde another This is the truest fast ergo the other fast is not profitable the argumente is as like as one beyng demaunded whiche is the waye to London he aunswered a poke full of plommes The prophete Esaye alledgeth this as the mooste certen and truest faste And Christe coÌ„mendeth the other as a meane to atteine vnto the same whiche faste if a man do neglecte the other is not profitable as is aforesaid And thus this blocke with the due consideracion of a good christian maye be sone remoued But as this too some is an occasion of stumbling so was Christ in dyuers his sayinges too the sturdie Iewes that wold not be leue in him And as christ in dede ministred no occasion to them no more doth y â— prophet Esay to the stumblers of our tyme whiche stumble at vice and leape ouer al good workes Therfore it is too be wished that men woulde take hede of them and beware howe to taste of their pernicious doctrine as is said in the beginning whiche is the onely cause of oure miserie for our fayeth is so extenuated by their euyll doctrine rooted so in the heades of many that GOD hath iuste cause too plage vs al in general For without faith it is impossible to please God Then where infidelitee is God is not pleased But hereto the protestantes will replye and saye they be no infideles but doe beleue in the same euerlastynge Trinitee wherin we beleue as it doth appere in diuers their libels wherein they extoll fayeth Whiche is true but in their definition of fayeth they made suche a mingle maÌ„gle of the .iii. theologicall vertues Faieth Hope and Charitee that onely fayeth lyke a coÌ„queror had discharged hope and charitee out of office In the whiche their doctrine of onelye fayeth they fared muche lyke to an Orator whiche was brought in before an Emperour to make an oration Whiche Orator when he was placed before the Emperour begynning his Oration he so much liked himselfe for his eloquence that he had forgotten where he was yet as he thought he shuld haue bene greatly praysed His frende asked Themperour howe he liked him Forsoth quod he as I doe my Cooke at home For when he came to me firste he coulde make me a good messe of potage but he hathe sought so manye newe fangled waies that he cannot now make me a good saâ—orie messe Euen so our curious doctors were so fine in settyng forthe of fayeth that they had forgotten their olde catholike fayeth by them professed at baptisme and in the ende they had forgotteÌ„ themselfes to much lyke the vain glorious orator in his oration the Coke ruffian in makinge his potage the one vnsensible the other vnsauerie This faith onely hath wrought so hotlye
