Truth doth abide and is strong for ever and liveth and raigneth for ever and ever At Oxford Printed by Ioseph Barnes printer to the Vniversitie 1608. TO THE HONORABLE S r EDWARD COOKE Knight Lord Chiefe Iustice of his Maiesties Court of Common Pleas. My very good Lord it is not loÌ„g since It was my happe to see a Booke published quo iure quÃ¡ue potius miuria against your Lordships Fift booke of Reportes Intituled de Iure Regis Ecclesiastico by one that if he had not tearmed himselfe a Catholik Deuine I should haue takeÌ„ him for any thing els So far is he in this lying Libel froÌ„ being a Deuine much lesse Catholik vnlesse it â—â—e in the sence vniuersal being indeed nothing els but an vniuersal HistoriaÌ„ I haue also read an other book wherin your Lordship is most vniustly produced or rather traduced for an egregious falsarie a crime which that Libeller hath made common to others of your ranck and of higher mark by imputing the same most scandalously vnto one of the most Honorable and religious Peeres of this land Farthermore I haue hard of diuerse others whose fingers doe itch to be dealing with your Lordship according to the grounds of your Honorable profession By al which I perceaue that your Lordship hath so mortally wounded the hayrie scalp of that man of Rome which would faine bee accepted for head of this Church that our aduersaries doe striue with noe smale adoe whoe shal be most forwarde to salue this sore though it be neuer so incurable But amongst all others who so aduenturous as our pretended Catholike surnaming himselfe the Deuine which hath spared no cost no labour for the effecting thereof in his late aunswere Seely disputer that where the question is de Iure produceth testimonies de facto and being by profession a Deuine the questioÌ„ of law bringeth his proofs out of Hisstorie Doubtles the Deuine is much beholding vnto your Lordship though hee doe craftily dissemble it for giuing him so good an occasioÌ„ both to shew his great reading and withal to purg so much choller being of liklyhood of that cholericke bilious disposition Quod si non aliquÃ nocuisset mortuus esset I gather so much by his writings for I am verily perswaded that this is not the first book that hath come out of thâ—s mans forge â—here bee diuerse books I should haue said Pamphletts cast abroad which sauour of the same stile and file so finely smothed and framed for the nonce that a man maie knowe him to bee his crafts Master in this black Art though he transfigure himselfe into an Angel of light professe al manner of Candour and Chariâ—ie in hiâ— writings but the contrary is too too manifest in his lyeing Pamphlets To saie nothing of his slaunderous reports against the late religious Queene of blessed memorie against the reuerend Sages and Iudges of the Common law in general and your Lordship in particular because he takes vpon him to be so great a Clearke in the question about the Kings Crowne and dignitie I haue endeauoured in this Apologie which I haue framed in defence of that famous writer and preacher of Gods word Iohn VVickliff to oppose against his slaunderous Libel his answere as the answere of a most ancieÌ„t Catholike and learned Deuine Ancient for hee liued in the time of K Edward the 3. Catholike for he maintained the same doctrine then which the Church of Eng 1 and now being guided by the Holy Ghost and sacred writings of Scripture Fathers doth professe learned in al kind of good knowledge needfull for a Divine for the maine question touching the kings Regaltie the Popes Supremacie hee delivereth in other termes the very same argumeÌ„ts reasons which I finde written in that your said fift Booke of Reports proving the truth of your assertioÌ„s by the Iawes Civill Canon Common Wherein because I professe little knowledge it being not my element and as your Lordship hath well obserued Perito in sua arte credendumest I haue presumed to submit the whole Apologie vnto your iudicious learned censure quatenus de Iure If your Lordship finde him not in this Apologie where I haue as neare as I could truly related his words most iudicious religious temperate learned altogether conformable vnto the doctrine and discipline of this preseÌ„t Church which this libeller so much impugneth and agreeing with the laws of God and of this Realme let me beare the fault of presumption and vndergoe your heauiest Censure whom I professe I doe honour and reuerence as farr as anie of my profession and as it becometh me to doe in al Christian dutie knowing your Lordship to be a zealous professor of the truth a worthy maintainer of the Cleargie a louing Patron of both our Vniuersities and lastly a great furtherer of al good learning which that you may liue for to doe maugre the opposition of our aduersaries I shal neuer cease to pray vnto the Almighty long to continue your Lordship in health wealth and prosperitie with encrease of spiritual gifts for the benefit of both Church and Common wealth From the Library in Oxford Feb. 10. 1608.
