exhorte all men of eche degre To praye deuoutly for the soules departed With solemne Placebo and Dirige And a masse of Requiem thereunto added Tell them it is very meritorious And a good dede so for the soules to praye Masses and Diriges make them ful ioyous And cause their paynes greatly to decaye Tell them that Christe is not so oure mediatoure But we haue nede of some good saincte also To be vnto God oure intercessoure Or els vnto heauens blysse can we not go Tell them that auriculare confession Deuised by pope Innocent the thirde Is so necessary vnto saluacion That without it sinnes can not be remitted Tell thē that priestes haue power to forgyue syn Whan so euer they saye Ego absoluote Therfore their synnes to confesse let them begyn And from all their synnes they shal sone be fre Tell them that the gylding of images And paynting of tabernacles also Hath bene greatly praysed in all ages And openeth a waye vnto heauen for to go Tell them that pylgrimage goyng likewise Is very profitable for the soule Exhorte them to bring in agayne that gyse And to drincke of s. Edmundes pardon boulle Tell them that to be burried in s. Fraunces coule Is very good for the soules saluacion Though it be neuer so lousy or foule As in their holy rule is made mencion Tell them that workes done of a good insent Auayleth no les vnto saluacion Then thinges appointed by Gods commaundemē● To be done of the Christen congregracion Tell them whatsoeuer holy churche bidde Though to the scripture it be clene contrary That of all men muste be fulfilled And neuer aske any question why Tell them they muste it thincke it sufficient That holy churche hath so ordayned And though it be not Gods commaundement Yet tel them it muste nedes be obeyed As the Idolatrous priestes in tymes paste Cried the temple of the Lord the temple of the Lord So to crye let it euer be your caste The holy churche the holy church with one accord Deface the doctrine of the fore preachers So muche as ye can to the vttermoste By calling them coblers tynckers and taylers And vnlearned asses in euery coste But looke ye call your selfs master doctor And Graduate of the vniuersite Preache in your hoode and set forthe your honor And so declare what learned men ye be As for Dorbel Duns Thomas and Tartar Gabriel Lombarde master of the sentence Gorram Alberte and other of that se●te Sa●e ye haue sene them though many yeares ●ēce Tell them that the doctrine which ye teach nowe Is catholycke olde and olde agayne Holy churche did it alwayes allowe And in their counsails euer it mayntayne Agayn I wolde haue you lyke stoute Nemroth Cryeout at Paules crosse againste the Printers Saye that they are the cause that the worlde goeth So euel with our mother holy churche eue●s Say with their bokes they marre al the market And fyll the whole realme with heresye For to rede those bokes all the worlde is set And to holy churche wil not them selfs applye ●aye that all the bokes that haue bene printed Here in England by the space of syxe year● Are all with great heresyes infected And wel worthie to be set on a fyre The Catechismes and the boke of comm● praye● The Homilies and Articles also With al other bokes intreating of the scripture Are worthie into the fyre for to go Crieout that all suche bokes maye be condemned Eyther by an acte of parliamēt Or elles by proclamacion incalled And so afterwarde to be shortly brent This thing shal auaunce my kingdome greatly And set bothe you and me in a goodly staye Therefore I wolde haue you the matter to applye That it mighte be dispatched out of the waye Furthermore if there do any arise Speakinge againste me and my kyngedome To laye hande on hym streightwayes deuise And cruelly caste him into prysonne Manace him with wordes bothe fearce and fel Threaton him with faggot fyre and halter And to put it in vse ye shal do wel That other thereby maye learne to feare I wolde not haue you dispute with the scripture But rather with halter fyre and faggot For these argumentes are so stronge and sure That none of them all can vndo that knotte By farre means agayne se what ye can do Promise them a benefice or prebend Saye ye will be their hartie frendes also If they wil become conformable and amende Thus by foule or fayre means proue mas●rise Though it be cleane against youre conscience And euermore let this be youre deuise To maintayne me and my magnificence If ye wil do after this myne aduertisement So shal bothe you and I right we● prosper But if ye beginne to be negligent Then shal we sone perish altogether Therfore if ye tender my dignite My worshippe my honour and my excellen●e Looke that in these thinges diligent ye be So shal ye long enioy my presence Otherwise I shall surely be so hunted Of the protestantes my fo●s mortal That to fle agayne I shalbe compelled As a slaue bothe miserable and thraul And then shal ye also come doune doune And ●e had no more in estimacion Laughed to scorne shal ye be with your shauē croune And vtterly broughte vnto confusion The cause why I geue you suche a charge is this It was tolde me of a frende sence my comming That the masse should be dryuē out of Englād twise And the second tyme shalbe past all helpinge The masse at the firste tyme shal recouer Her bannishment righte well quod that my friend● But the seconde time shalbe for euer For bannished shal she be vnto the ende Agayne ye knowe Christes prophecye Euery plante that God hath not planted Shalbe plucked vp by the rootes vtterly And be caste awaye as a thing fayned Of God ceries haue not I my foundacion But of a sorte of popes patched together Therfore muste I nedes come vnto confusion Because my foundacion is so slender I knowe also there are a greate number Whiche come to me with very hollowe hartes Wishing at the deuel bothe me and my masses For playeng suche popishe and iugling partes Suche I tell you are not to be trusted Although outwardely they beare a fayre face They do but looke when I shalbe confounded Then wil they crye doune with her apace Furthermore it standeth you also in hande To looke vpon this matter diligently For I do you all to vnderstande The cause is yours also and not myne onely The papistes quod my frēde shal twise haue a fal In this realme of England certenly The fyrste right wel recouer they shal The second shalbe without remedye They shal then of the people be so hated That none shal vouchsafe to haue thē at their bourde Yea of them selfs they shal so be ashamed That thei shal couer their crouns with a cowtourd And then saide he is their vtter destruccion come For after that time shal theey neuer more ryse But Christes gospel euen vnto the dome Shal in this realme florishe in moste goodly wyse Of oure fyrste fall we haue had experience Of that we may wel iudge what shal folow Let vs therefore takehede with all aduertence For when that come then begynne oure sorow Watche therefore my chaplens chāpions stoute Take tyme whyle the tyme haue ye maye Prye spye and diligently looke aboute For I tell you trueth the tyme wil awaye Remember the lessons that I haue geuen you Profitable they are for my kyngdome Looke that those diligently ye ensue Than to good fortune maye we happe to come We shal yet for a whyle triumphe and raygne We shal beare the rout donn with the Gospellers We shal pleasantly oure estate mayntayne And of al men be counted ioly rufflers You as gentle men shal raygne in all contrise I as a goddesse shalbe of greate renowme And by this means to
