Saint Peter points not to bee questioned by Earthly men or else by the motion of his owne Transcendent and neuer erring Braine wee know not nor matters it much to speake off for Ipse dixit his Godhead will haue it in his reuerend regard vnto these remote Flocks of his sent ouer his Holy Legat to me and my Brother of Yorke to prohibit all Religious Persons of what qualitie soeuer from thenceforth to defile their sacred bodies with those imperfect animals called Women aswell because they might follow their bookes the better not caring for the vanities of this transitorie world as also lest like New Fues they might tempt vs to taste what God had forbidden that is Iealousie Anger Deceit Simony and Pride to compasse meanes for their haughtie minds After much difficultie we executed his Holinesse good will and pleasure Neuerthelesse this Seditious Sectarie not onely openly with opprobrious words but with an infamous Libell hee presumed to taxe our Holy Father of Errour or Heresie if hee durst for this Diuine Ordinance The Contents of his Libell are these That it was a grieuous torment for a Priest to put away his wife because shee was his darling affirming that the Bishop of Rome made an il Decree and wisht him to beware hee dyed not in so great a Sinne. That his Holinesse forbad that pleasure now in his old age which he loued in his youth That Mapes defended his Errour by the authoritie of the Old and New Testament citing Zacharie the Priest to be the Father of Saint Iohn Baptist and that S. Paul allowed a Clergie man to be the Husband of one Wife That it became a Priest better to marrie then to borrow or deflowre his Neighbours daughter Niece or Wife And in Conclusion hee was so impudent as to require all Priests to bestow together with their Sweet Hearts a Pater noster a piece for this his goodly Apish Apologie His Maiestie smiled to heare the Conceit And thereupon caused the Pronotarie to reade the Libell as Walter de Mapes had framed it who with an audible voice did recite as followeth O quam d●l●r anxius quam tormentum gra●e Nobis dimittere quoniam suaue O Romane Pontifex stat●isti pra●e Ne in ta●t● crimine moriaris caue Non est innocentius imo nocens verè Qui quid facto d●cuit studet abolere Et quod olim luuenis voluit habere Modo vetus Pontifex studet prohibere Giguere nos praecipit vetus Testamentum Vbi Nouum prohibet nusquam est inuentum Praesul qui contrarium donat Documentum Nullum necessarium his dat Argumentum Dedit enim Dominus maledictionem Viro qui non fecerit generationem Ergo tibi consulo per hanc rationem Gignere vt habea● Benedictionem Nonne de Militibus Milites procedunt Et Reges à Regibus qui sibi succedunt Per Locum à Simili Omnes Iura laedunt Clericos qui gignere crimen esse credunt Zacharias habuit prolem vxorem Per virum quem genuit adeptus honorem Baptizauit enim nostrum Saluatorem Pereat qui te●eat nouum hunc Errorem Paulus Coelos rapitur ad superiores Vbi multas didicit res secretiores Ad nos tandem rediens i●struensque mores Suas inquit habeat quilibet vxores Propter haec alia Dogmata Doctorum Reor esse meliu● magis decorum Quisque suam habeat non proximorum Ne incurrat odium iram eorum Proximorum Foeminas Filias Neptes Violare nefas est Quare nil disceptes Verè tuam habeas in hac delectes Diem vt sic vltimum tutius expectes Ecce iam pro Clericis multum allegani Nec non pro Presbyteris plura comprobaui Pater Noster nunc pro me quoniam peccaui Dicat quisque Presbiter cum sua Suaui CHAP. VIII Walter de Mapes is commanded by Apollo to defend his Positions against the Pope and Becket who accordingly obeyeth and prooues the lawfulnesse of Clergie-mens Marriage both by the Testimonie of the Scripture and of the Ancient Fathers AFter the Pronotarie had ended Apollo commanded Walter de Mapes to defend his cause who thus began I am glad Most Noble Emperour that my Aduersarie hath cited mee to defend my Cause in this judicious Court where Bribes blindnesse of Affection and Passion cannot wrest the infallible reasons of Truth as oftentimes wee see fall out in worldly Iudgements Heere I need not feare the Popes Thunderbolt of Excommunication And therefore with a resolued countenance and a minde vndaunted I will proue out of the Holy Scriptures and by the authoritie of the Primitiue Church that wee Clergie-men may and ought to marrie as well as others By the Old Testament it is euident that the Leuits as Aaron Phinehes Eleazar Zadock Samuel and Zachary were married men Saint Peter himselfe as we reade in the New Testament was likewise married for our Sauiour Christ cured his Wiues Mother of an Ague Saint Paul aduiseth a Bishop to be the Husband of one onely wife and in another place auoucheth that it is better to marrie then to burne Yea and Christ himselfe auoucheth it to be a very hard matter for any man whatsoeuer to continue chast except it were giuen him from heauen as a special gift as rare a Miracle as a blacke Swan or a white Crow And shall we expect such miraculous and rare sightes in these tempestuous times when the Church it selfe hath much adoe to steale out of Babylon When the purest of vs all doe feele tumultuous Hurliburlies in our members striuing and strugling to ouer-master the faculties of our Soules As we are men we know our vnresistable frailties We must acknowledge our naturall Infirmities or else we are Liers and the Truth dwels not in vs. How much better then were it for vs to ioyne in lawfull Marriage then to stay as stale Batchelers and hypocritically to take vpon vs that taske which our weake Tabernacles cannot support Sometimes wee saue those Soules by Marriage which perhaps might proue lost were they not our wiues By these wee beget children whom we traine vp and graffe into Christ. We enioy this happinesse oftentimes in our wiues and children that by our examples and societie they shine as Starres heere on Earth giuing light to them that sit in darknesse we encrease the Kingdome of Heauen and heere in this World wee leaue no scandall behind vs as the vnmarried Romists doe by their Stewes and stolne pleasures Haue not we power to lead about a Sister aswell as the rest of the Apostles This Tertullian one of the first Latine Fathers auerreth in these words It was lawfull for the Apostles to marrie and to lead their Wiues about with them in their iournies What plainer instance can there be then Saint Pauls aduise to Bishops and Deacons to content themselues with one Wife apiece hauing children in subiection For if a man knowes not how to rule his owne house how shall

hee care for the Church of God Thus in admonishing the Clergie to satisfie themselues with one wife the Apostle leaues the Temporall to their choise who accounted it in those times one of their chiefest felicities to haue many children And therefore in regard of their Custome of their hot Climate being farre more vnfit for procreation of children then the cold Countries as also for that their wiues were busied in giuing sucke themselues two or three yeeres vnto their little Ones Saint Paul meddles onely with the Clergy-mens marriage which laudable custome none contradicted vntill the Manichees and Ebienites first beganne to taxe them for Marriage So we reade that Saint Gregory Bishop of Nazianzen had a Sonne called Gregorie who succeeded him in his Bishopricke Saint Ierome a Bishop of Africke had a Daughter called Leonti● who was martyred by the Arrians Saint Athanasius writing to Dragontius saith that he knew many Bishops vnmarried and Monkes married as also hee saw Bishops married and many Monkes singlemen The sixt generall Councell kept at Trulla did much detest this Antichristian Policie against Priests Marriage and therefore made this Constitution For as much as we are informed that a Canon hath beene lately enacted by the Romane Church that no Priest or Deacon shall haue to doe with a Wife Wee following the Apostles Orders and Discipline doe order that the lawfull Marriage of Priests be for euer vsefull and auaileable And a little after they yeeld the reason why they did it lest say they we bee compelled to dishonour Marriage which was first instituted by God and sanctified by his presence What greater euidence will my friend Becket expect then these Primitiue Lights If these will not satisfie his curious Iudgement but that he yet relies on the Decree of the Romish Church let him belieue the Deuill himselfe out of the heard of Swine confessing the Truth of my allegations euen your famous Canonist Cardinall Panormitane continencie saith hee in clericis Secularibus in Secular Clergy-men is not of the substance of their Order nor of the Law diuine because otherwise the Greeke Church should sinne nor could their custome excuse them It followes and I doe not onely belieue that the Church hath power to make such a Law but I likewise belieue that such a Statute were expedient for the health of their Soules that all that were willing might marrie seeing that Experience teacheth how a contrary effect ensues out of that Law of Continencie seeing they liue not spiritually nor are they cleane but defiled with vnlawfull copulation to their most grieuous sinning whereas they might liue chastly with their owne wiues If this mans authoritie who was one of your principall Darlings seemes but a Conceit in your Saint-like vnderstanding yet me thinkes my Lord the Pope vpon your discreet motion might mitigate his rigour and tolerate with vs to marrie as well as hee tolerates the Iewes and Stewes at Rome What stirres and tumults haue lately ensued vpon this Edict in the Church of Saint Dauid in Wales our friend Giraldus Cambrensis who is our Coaetaneus with many honest Clergy-men can assure you For when you sent this Canon vnder colour of your Metropolitane Visitation that whole Diocesse withstood not onely this Canon but also your owne Prerogatiue pretended from the Romish Church clayming themselues as heeretofore for the keeping of their Easter to liue according to the Rites of the Greeke Church at Constantinople to which place as the Seat of the Romane Empire appointed by Constantine they appealed for the deciding of all doubts Insomuch that our King Henry the Second was faine to intreate for aide from the Lord Rice Prince of South Wales to bring in your Visitation of Canterbury If these cloudes of witnesses serue not to confirme the truth of my Poeme which you terme a Libell let vs then bee dispenced withall to keepe prettie Wenches in corners and these to be dignified with the old Titles The Lords Concubine the Priests Leman and the Kna●es Whore Apollo reuerseth the Popes Canon made against the Marriage of the Clergie and to that purpose sends out a Proclamation APollo well noting the speeches of Walter de Mapes and the great inconuenience which the Prohibition of Marriage to the Clergie had wrought in the Christian Church with the Consent of al his Parliament assembled at Parnassus reuersed that Canon whereof Saint Paul had prophesied that it was the doctrine of deuils to forbid Marriage and withall caused this Proclamation to bee fixed in all places subiect to his populous Iurisdiction Of late there rose a Sect of Caiphas kind Which great renowme with Pen tongue assign'd To Wedlock-bands and with a large extent Confirm'd the same to be a Sacrament Yet ne'rethelesse by quirks and tricks they push As if they found a knot within a rush Forbidding it to all the Clergy-men A doctrine sure come from the Deuils de● But what 's the fruit Their bodies Lust inflames That they doe burne as scorcht in Aetnaes flames Enamoured they wish for cruell death To end their watchfull cares and wearied breath Their mind runnes all on Loue. Loue moues the braine To muse vpon sweet Beauty dy'd in graine This is the vpshot of their rash made vowes Vnlesse the Baudy-house which Rome allowes Like to a lakes doe ease their pampred reines Or like a Horse-leach suck their puft vp veines Returne then Marriage to thy free estate Repent yee Shauelings ere it be too late Vse lawfull meanes and leaue of stolne pleasure Account of Marriage as the Churches treasure Christs easie yoke yee need not stand in awe Dissolues old vowes and for Dianaes Law Christs easie yoke yeelds Priests a freer life That one man be the Husband of one wife CHAP. IX Apollo vpon Information giuen him by the Greek Church of Images erected by the Pope in the Westerne Churches and of Inuocations on Saints confuteth these Idolatrous Traditions both by the Testimony of the Scripture and by the Positions of the Primitiue Church THe Greeke Church seeing that by no perswasions the Pope would condiscend to abolish Idols grauen Images out of the Romane Church but that still he suffered euen in the chiefe Temples at Rome the Pictures of the Virgin Mary and of many other Saints to bee worshiped and called vpon with Prayers and Oblations they resorted to Parnassus on Good Friday last shewing to Apollo that the Popes not satisfied by their cunning practises and treasons to defeat them of the Primacie belonging to Constantinople as to the Head Citie of New Rome but likewise they set vp Charles of France about the yeere 801. to inuest himselfe in the Empire of the West and so by their Confederacie to compel all Christendome to wander after the strange Beast of the seuen hilled Citie which now grew to such a height that his voice stood peremptory as a Law Idolatry he accounted the Mother of Deuotion The Romish Church were summoned to answere these Accusations who made

end of the Second Part. THE THIRD PART OF The Golden Fleece CHAP. I. Orpheus Iunior is required by Apollo to discouer where the Golden Fleece lies Orpheus performes his Maiesties commandement shewes that there be sundry kindes of the Golden Fleece all which after an allusion to the English natures hee reduceth into one maine Trade to the Plantation and Fishing in the Newfoundland The generall cause which moued Orpheus to regard this Golden Fleece APollo secretly informed by the Fraternity of the Rosie Crosse that Orpheus Iunior could well tell where the King of great Britaine might perpetually finde Trading both in time of Warres as Peace to inrich himselfe and his subiects which Trading they stiled the Golden Fleece more certaine then Iasons Fleece transported from Colchos or the Philosophers Stone so much dreamed on by the Chymists because the sheepe which yeelds this pretious Gaine were to be shorne for eight moneths space without intermission and of bodies farre bigger then the Peru sheepe which the Spaniards br●gge to equalize Asses for proportionable greatnesse In May last 1626. he commanded Orpheus Iunior as hee tendred his seruice and the good of his languishing Countrey to discouer where these Golden-coated sheepe pastured and the manner how the noble Britaines might attaine vnto them Orpheus Iunior answered that the Golden Fleece which the fraternity of the rosie Crosse insinuated to his Maiestie was parti-coloured like the Rainebow so produced by the Patriarch Iacobs Art according to the seuerall obiects represented and likewise diuided into the Naturall the Artificiall and the Mysticall sometimes singled out the one from the other sometimes mixt as politike Merchants and Diers know best yet all of them comprehended vnder one generall name viz. Trading That it was necessary for the Common-wealth of Great Britaine to pursue all the kindes of these obiects lest the English Nation who neuer likes any thing how profitable soeuer vnlesse it be diuersified Pragmata non Angli invariata probant might take surfet of one sort of Trading and at length fall to a loathing thereof Whereto he adioyned that by many yeares experience hee had learnt the skill of discerning spirits And that hee found out this quality of the English to delight in varieties of Newes though for the most part false of Apparell though they sold their lands for it of multiplicities of Law suits though oftentimes they knew themselues bought and sold by them which they most trusted of meate and drinke though they felt the euent in grieuous torments And as in their natures they respected choise and change so in their outward senses hee obserued first that their sight receiued more contentment in many colours then in one alone specially those colours of Gold and Siluer they preferred before the pure and simple which they held in contempt as fitter for Hob-lurkins then for generous spirits As for their smelling they approued of sundry sorts as Ciuet Amber-Greece Muske Storax and aboue all of Tobacco though some of them lost their wits and the vse of their senses in the taking of it and though most of them were ready to choake for good fellowship The like he said he could discourse of the rest of their senses outward and inward But these instances would suffice as he conceiued to open the way to many kindes of Trading as well to furnish that Nation with those seuerall Commodities though superfluous as to replenish the Kingdome with more supplies lest in prouiding themselues barely on their Countries charge with all those wares which their newfangled imagination prouoketh them to long for their Countrie might in a small while deuour her selfe or else eate vp her owne tayle like a Munkey Now to explaine what hee had spoken of the mysticall Golden Fleece hee onely at that time offered to declare the nature vse and place where it flourisheth as how he came to the knowledge of it if it pleased his Maiestie to affoord him audience Apollo bad him proceed signifying vnto him that the principall scope of the Meeting at that season was to haue that beneficiall Trade communicated to all his vertuous Attendants in Great Britaine Orpheus Iunior then went forward in this discourse About ten yeares past most mighty Prince musing with my selfe what might be the Psalmists meaning of those words Their sound is gone out into all Nations I happily coniectured at the last that the Word of God should not onely be spread abroad and planted by those which ought of zeale and charity to teach it but by those which like the frogs out of the Dragons mouth might publish it for temporall ends And when I had throughly lookt into these ends the one neglected by the Professors of the Gospell the other begun and continued with prosperous successe by the Spaniards in the West-Indies where within these 120. yeares many thousand Heathen people haue receiued the Christian Religion though not so purely as wee could wish I collected this memorable obseruation that our Sauiour makes vse of our worlaly desires to serue his diuine intentions In this fashion deales an Earthly Father with an vntoward Daughter for whose aduancement in mariage he giues a large portion to counteruaile her imperfections By which meditations of mine I perceiued that nothing but gaine could moue the carelesse minds of our Ilanders to seeke abroad for new habitations I lookt into the Plantations at the Summer Iles Virginia yea into Affrick as farre as the Cape of good hope where for the ease of our East-Indian Fleetes I conceiued at Sancta Helena or Soldana a fit Plantation might be erected But after that I had considered the many difficulties by reason of the tediousnesse of the voyage the charge and aboue all the malice of the Spaniards who being like to the Dogge in the Manger doe want people to plant and yet they will not permit others to plant I saw that God had reserued the Newfoundland for vs Britaines as the next land beyond Ireland and not aboue nine or tenne dayes saile from thence I saw that he had bestowed a large portion for this Countries mariage with our Kingdomes euen this great Fishing that by this meanes it might be frequented and inhabited the sooner by vs. And I verily thinke that his Heauenly prouidence ordained this Iland not without a Mystery for vs of Great Britaine that Ilanders should dwel in Ilands and that wee should ponder on this ensuing Morall Euen as our Sauiour Christ making Fishermen Fishers of men preferred Peter Andrew others his Apostles being plaine persons and simple before the great Lords of the earth as also the Lillies of the field before the Royalties of Salomon so in these latter daies his vnsearchable wisedome preferring necessary maintenance before needlesse superfluity hath allotted Newfoundland the grand Port of Fishing to the Professors of the Gospell And because the depraued nature of mankinde delighteth in appetite and some appearance of profit therefore his sacred Maiestie discouered that plentifull Fishing vnto
