death and hell eternally And with his bloud our sinnes deface that for his sake alone The father onely fauours vs and blesseth euery one Hath giuen vs life and all our sinnes and faultes forgiuen quight And of his mercie made vs heyres with him of heauen bright This who so constantly beléeues and doth with tongue confesse Is made the childe of God and heyre of euerlasting blesse He neither feareth Deuills force nor death with cruell strife Nor all the raging of the worlde nor daungers of this life But fastning still his eyes on Christ in safetie doth he row Such one is perfite Israel the Church of Christ doth know Such Citizens and such thou mayst call alwayes worthily True Catholikes and members of the blessed company For those that dare not trust in Christ nor in his father hie Doe quake for feare and séeke for holes not knowing where to lie And of their owne they alwayes séeke a righteousnesse to haue Whereby they may content the Lorde their sinfull soules to saue Not satisfied with heauenly giftes nor righteousnesse from hie And fathers fauour here for Christ who gaue himselfe to die For our offences great and made the satisfaction full And from the handes of death and hell did vs for euer pull O Lorde how few doe thus beléeue how euery where in vaine They doe abuse the name of Christ and counterfeytes remaine Being Christians calde and both in life and fayth doe disagree As in this popishe kingdome here thou perfitly mayst sée For marke what things they doe beléeue what monsters they do frame I not denie but euery where of Christ the blessed name Is calde vpon in Churches great and Créede is dayly songue And Christ the true redéemer calde alonely with the tongue And tearmed Lorde but farre from him the heart doth séeme to bée And with the wide resounding mouth it doth no whit agrée Which in so many things appeares so plaine vnto the eye That gracelesse must he counted be that will the same denye And first beholde how earnestly they séeke in euery thing The righteousnesse that of themselues and proper force doth spring Not to th entent to liue a right and please the father great That of his mercie calleth vs vnto his blessed seate Or Christ that all our sinnes and faultes doth cleerely wash away Nor with their life and ayde to helpe their brethren all they may But onely heauen for to winne and to be frée from blame And with deserts to please the Lorde that all the worlde did frame Where now appéeres the hope of life by Christ obtained right And cléere forgiuenesse of our sinnes and Sathan put to flight For who so séekes and searcheth still thinkes yet he hath it not ▪ For no man séeketh for the thing now in possession got Nor any man that hath his wittes by merits séekes to winne The thing that is alreadie giuen but rather thanketh him And merily enioyes the gift of his obtained wealth With gratefull minde set frée from cares in quietnesse and health Therefore since that in euery thing they righteousnesse desire And heapes of merites and desertes they earnestly require And most vngodly vseth them vnto so ill an ende They neyther doe beleeue in Christ that he doth onely sende And fréely giue eternall life nor that he satisfise For all our gréeuous sinnes and faultes they rather doe despise His merites and his fathers giftes while prowdely in their hartes They trust vnto their righteousnesse and to their owne desartes Hereto it tendes whatsoeuer they doe in Church or otherwhere For this such straunge religion haue they framde and paultrie gere And this alone of all their life the marke and ende they made Supposing not to come to God by any other trade A Iewish people sure and such as at this present day No better then the Gentiles are take name of Christ away For in like sorte through all the worlde they doe beléeue as well And lawe of nature doth instruct and reason doth them tell That for good déedes there doth behinde a recompence remaine And that th' almightie father that doth guide the starrie raine Is to be pleasde with worshipping good déedes and righteousnesse And other things whereby we may our louing mindes expresse Herewith they couet euery one to rayse vp mountaines hie As long time since the Giantes did for to assault the skie But sure they shall be ouerthrowne and driuen downe to hell For why the Lorde hath long agone decréede as scriptures tell Not to forgiue th' offences of the worlde but by his sonne By whom the subtile serpents head is broke and ouercome The blinded worlde regardes not this nor séekes to vnderstande Nor trustes the worde of God but in hir owne conceytes doth stande And countes hir fancie still the best and crediteth alway The fonde deuises of hir braine vntill hir dying day Euen so the Turkish multitude doe put there onely trust In liuing as their law commaundes and in their doings iust So likewyse doth the Iewe beléeue saluation for to haue By kéeping of their auncient lawe that Moyses to them gaue And euery kinde of people else the very same confesse Beléeuing to be saued by their lawe and righteousnesse None otherwise the papacie continually beléeues Nor vnderstandes the righteousnesse that fayth alonely géeues Although they reade the scriptures and saint Paule and doe them sift Who of the righteousnesse of fayth and of the Fathers gift Through Christ doth speake so oft who is our righteousnesse alone And raunsome eke But let vs sée the parcelles euery one Christ when he went from hence did leaue two sacraments behind Whereby we might continually his goodnesse kéepe in minde And staye our fayth beléeuing all our sinnes forgiuen quight By him alone and we made heyres of euerlasting light The first is Baptisme wherewithall we washt in water cleane Being buried in the blessed waues and plungde in sacred streame Are made the seruaunts here of Christ with him continuallye To suffer what so euer faules and eke to liue and dye Which as it plaine and simple is so is it most of price And not to be defilde with any toye or mans deuice But this it here defiled hath with wicked doctrine plaine And with a foolish number great of Cerimonies vaine For thus it plainely teacheth that our sinnes forgiuen arre Alonely by the déede hereof not adding any barre Accounting not the giftes of God dealt here without desart Nor sinnes by Christ forgiuen free but by the déede and part Of him that well prepares himselfe vnto this sacrament That merits may haue place and workes may gaine the firmament And that which vnto God is due to vs imputeth aye Ascribing that to déedes that fayth doth onely take awaye And that assuredly before the font thou commest neare And ere thou washt and plunged art amid the waters cleare Nor here through baptising the sinnes of man forgiuen are Nor by the déede thereof as plaine the scriptures doe declare

great and in the villages thereby There are that doe such doltish dreames defende maliciously That quight contrary are to Christ and to religion right Which neyther canst thou easily knowe nor well in verse resight Now when these Popish lothsome limmes by no meanes we can sée In life nor in their trauaile here the limmes of Christ to bée Nor can in anye wise imbrace the fonde religion vaine And shamefull orders to the worlde of God contrarie plaine Nor doctrine of so wicked fayth to Christian people giue But rather as the Apostles teach doe simply seeke to liue Reiecting toyes and mans deuice as which we surely know To be detested of that Prince that lightnings downe doth throw We here are called Heritykes and worthie thought to bée Of halter sworde consuming fire and ech extremitée We punisht are our houses sealde or from our countrie farre We banisht be or else opprest at home with ciuill warre Whereas the dreadfull Souldiour doth consume and cleane deuours The goodes that here hath gotten bene by toyle and paine of ours These things these Catholikes attempt when in so many yeares By scriptures sure they cannot plant this foolish fayth of theirs Nor ours with scriptures ouerthrow that now they séeke to make The Prince of hell and Christ to ioyne in one and partes to take For all ashamde they plaine perceyue that long they cannot stande With this religion and this life if once doe come in hande The worde of God the heauenly light and that abrode doe shine The twelue Apostles doctrine and that blessed court deuine Nor good it séemeth yet to them such is their wisdome hie To graunt that they haue erd in any thing or gone awrie For shame it is that learned men and such as famous bée For Mitars and for Crosiar staues amongst the Christiantée Christ nor the Apostles fayth to know that perfit is and iust But to be ledde with dreames of men whome none may safely trust From hence procéedeth all their griefe and all their cruell hate That with effusion of our bloud they stablish their estate And will not here be pacified by any other meanes Except we do alow and like their lewde and monstrous dreames And altogither runne in one like flockes for company To false and wicked worshippings and vile idolatry And knowledge them for Lordes of fayth and rulers of vs all Although they teache no doctrine of the King celestiall Oft hath it bene agréed that eyther part shoulde fréely vse Their owne religion seruing God as best they list to chuse And neyther part the other for to trouble or molest With warres or bookes that Germany might liue in peace or rest But Papistes can no peace abide continually they write And both with wordes and wretched déedes most cruelly doe bite Not onely vs which might perhaps be well enough endurde But also Gods most holy worde and gospell here assurde If tumults on our partes arise or any great ado Or if our men doe armour take being forced therevnto And by the law of armes doe burne and spoyle their enimie And take the pillage of their foes immediately they crie The wicked Gospell worketh this beholde in what a plight These fellowes liue the Deuill brought this Gospell first to light It Turkish is and not the same that Luke wrought long ago And spightfully they slaunder it with many raylings mo As if that any Preacher here did euer this alow Or any did by worde of Christ such crueltie auow They know full well themselues that none of ours did euer teache To vse such violence nor this vnto the people preache Yet with their vile infectiue tongues and mouthes enuenemde tho With poyson that in hellish lakes and Stygian streames doth flo The Gospell of the Lorde they doe most spightfully defame And herewithall the Ministers and Preachers of the same But who can Princes gouerne here or any meanes deuise To kéepe them in from vsing force against their enimies Why doe they not as well diswade their Catholikes and blame Them for their force and crueltie that doe the very same And boldely euery where destroy and euery man molest Yea euen their very friendes at home that faine woulde liue at rest What kinde of Gospell teache those men that euen openly With bitter wordes and bookes perswade men to such cruelty Are these to any man vnknowne doth Fraunce and Italy Not openly declare the same and plainely testify Do not the pulpettes of the Pope perswade this martiall might And pardons euery man hys sinnes that in their quarrell fight But sure the wallet them beguiles that hanges behinde their backe And better others faultes they sée than what themselues doe lacke Accounting here for catholickes themselues and all their traine And others all as heritickes and wicked people plaine Wherefore the chiefest members of this holy popish state Their cerimonies and their dayes they yearely consecrate Their foolish fayth and beastly life I openly doe showe That all the worlde may vnderstande and euery man may know That neyther Christ nor perfit fayth they any whit doe way But onely séeke to looke aloft and boldely for to say That they the booke of Peter are and holy Catholickes And we vnhappie castawayes and cursed heritickes But wherein are they Catholickes bicause they folow here The truth but what they folow and beléeue doth plaine appere So it is that in number they and countries vs excell So mayst thou both the Turkes and Mores call Catholickes as well Herewith I iudge that euery man that hath an vpright heart Doth vnderstande how iust our cause hath béene for to depart From this their monstrous fayth and from their lewde ydolatrée And for to shonne these popish members all of ech degrée As men that neyther Christ doe know nor euer séeke to finde Nor suffer such as woulde but kéepe them still in darcknesse blinde FINIS A Table of the principall matters

Ne thinkes he méete for him it is to sléepe to drinke to eate Except he do before commit some haynous trespasse greate Thus in the heart of man the prince of hell had sowne his séedes And ouergrowne his precious plantes with his vngracious wéedes And had oppressed godlinesse while it was yet but gréene That scarcely any where the steppes of vertue might be séene And brought vnto the Chaynes of death and misery all their dayes Men first created vnto life and to th' almighties prayse Poore Adam spoyled of his grace in naked plight and bare Perceyued streight this hellish séede and neuer ceassing care Wherefore in Figtrée vesture clad himselfe by flight he hydes Both doubting of the mercy of God and of his life besides Whose sight he shoonnes and eke his voyce he quaketh for to heare As doth the Chicken of the Kyte or Oxe of Lion neare And surely vnderneath the yoke of death and dreadfull sinne Both he and his posteritie for euermore hath béene But that th' almightie Lorde aboue tooke pittie of his case And gaue agaynst the deuils thornes and séede of cursed grace A remedie an other séede his blessed worde deuine And promise of his fauour made how that in after time A holy vertuous man and strong should rise and succour bring And tread vpon the serpents head and ceasse his deadly sting And purge away the sinnes of man though losse he doe sustaine Not voyde of ouerpoyse but with his profite great and gaine Commaunded Adam for to sow this in his sense vnsounde To oppresse thereby if that he could not plucke out of the ground The déepe set rootes that Sathans hand had planted there afore And so become a husbandman for him and others more That after sprang and so resist by all the meanes he may The serpent still with earnest prayer and with a perfite way And for to teach from hand to hand to his posteritie The art and all the whole effect of holy husbandrie The comming of the blessed séede and promises deuine That godlinesse and hope of life might still remaine in time And be preserued in the worlde and that he neuer yéeld And boldly méete the prince of hell and face him in the féeld He ioying in the worde of God and in his happie state Of skilfull perfite husbandman that he receyude of late Withstood the deuill well and drest his heart with tillage due And pluckt out nettles thistles and eche other wéedes that grue And found againe the loue of God whereof he felt the smell And in the vertuous order of his life declarde it well The fruit of righteousnesse he looude and all that in him lay Represt the raging of the flesh and caused it to'bay He hated euery wicked act and euery sinfull lore That was displeasing vnto God and all his sinnes before With prayer and streames of perfite teares he wypte and washt away And all his hope and confidence in Christ doth surely lay This same vnto his wife he taught and to his children deare And all his ofspring euery one vnto his latest yeare And then to Seth he left the plowe who eke committed it To Enock that applyde it well with all his force and wit And sowde the worde and fayth abrode with luckie fruitfull hande And so did all the yonger sort that after ought the lande Olde Sathan hating all this while the séede so promised The chiefe estéemers of the same and faithfull brotherhed And séeking all men for to drawe vnto th' infernall raigne Applyde himselfe with all his force and all his hellish traine To ouerthrow these fathers déedes and all their worke to spoyle And vnder cloke of truth with lyes he poysons all the soyle And in the stéede of Godly feare he sinfull life reuiues With heapes of vice and Godly séedes to spoyle againe he striues And now amid the pleasant corne the pricking thistle flowes And gracelesse cockle lothsome to the eye it ouergrowes Sometime the raging stormes of haile doth beate it to the ground And oft consuming wormes and drake and darnell there is found Or mildewes fowle or stormes of raine or heate or frostie coldes Sometime a sunder crackes the plowe while Camock strongly holdes Not much the plowmen then preuaylde and Cayne did first beginn● To hate his fathers husbandrie and sowe the séedes of sinne Whom all his issue folowed fast as one of greatest skill And better fruite might not be séene than this so lewde and ill Nor godlinesse was to be found in all the world so wide So that th' almightie father drownde both man and earth beside And euery creature hauing life as iustly they deserude Saue one poore Barke that in the flouds of mercie he preserude What should I all things call to minde the world renude againe Not long regarded vertuous wordes but folowed pleasures vaine Eche godly thing was lothde and left as men did fast increase So all things waxed worse and worse and vertue gan to cease Although the guide of heauen and earth did euermore prouide For husbandmen and prophets good and sent his sonne beside In vesture clad of fading fleshe of workemen all the chiefe And author of our life who though he sent for our reliefe His messengers and seruaunts forth abrode in euery place To teach the perfite art and way and sow the séedes of grace Yet of the dreadfull dragon blacke preuayled much the héed To tread and stampe in euery place vpon this sacred séed The séedes of Gods triumphant worde were neuer so largely sowne Nor couered in the heart of man nor vertue better growne Nor in so many places séene such store of goodly graine As when these holy Messengers and their disciples plaine Did teach in euery place abrode the arte of husbandrie And trode the steps of vertuous life for their posteritie But streight the enimie poysoned all and brought it vnto this That godlynesse in few remaynde and most men ranne amisse And put not for eternall life in Christ their onely trust So many wéedes of herisies among the corne he thrust And monstruous droues of rauening wolues such fierce debate strife So many superstitions vaine and such deformed life Now these with raging furious heate he causeth for to start Now those with frostie coldes congeald he nyppeth to the hart And looke how much this wretched worlde to ende doth nearer grow So much the more he striues the raigne of Christ to ouerthrow And with his filthie séede the heart of man to cast away Nor much he forceth them herein that fall by proper sway The olde remaynes of sinfull rocke is vnto him an ayde So is the lusting force of flesh with raigne and hed vnstayde Agaynst these ylles the ruler of the loftie heauens bright Sendes out his learned labourers that ouerturning quight All wickednesse and driuing hence the darkenesse farre away True godlinesse may plaine appeare and vertue beare the sway And euery one with heart and might his holy will obay And follow perfite

righteousnesse and hate the wicked way By whome they may restore the hearts where Sathan had his seat Euen as to let of woonted course the running riuer great And make it passe the mountaynes hie or else to quench the flame That entred hath the dryest woods and rageth in the same The paine is great to labor thus agaynst the sturdie streames Or for to bend the aged bough growne hard with Phoebus beames And as the paynes are great so great rewardes thou shalt enioy When Christ shall shed the stinking Goates that did his flocke annoy When as the dreadfull day of doome and clearest light shall shine That shall reueale how euery man hath wrought and spent his time And therefore shrinke not for no paynes if that thou mindst the skies If that thou séekste to sée the face of God with happie eies But who deserues so great a gaine and such a stately charge Or who is méete to tyll and dresse a soyle so fayre and large As no man takes the Ores in hand nor thrustes the plow in ground Or guides the sayling ship on sea or Captaine may be found Except he wise and actiue be and taught his skill in time So none can out of hande be meete to till the soyle deuine His paterne and his fashion eke my Muses let vs sée And howe from youth in euery poynt he framed ought to bée What kinde of man in all respects and after let vs tell The maner how he ought to teach and order all things well First let the fauour of his face be good and countnance clere Not staynd with lothsome colourde mowle nor speckled here and there Nor mangled any where with cuttes nor let his hed be hie Or pyked like a Sugerlofe not set with hanging eie As lowring Bulles are alwayes markte ne let them hollow bée Déepe setled in their darkned dennes no Cocles let vs sée Nor any blearde or squinteyde mate no hooked hawkish beake Nor short and apish turnde vp nose nor Pypers puft vp choake Nor toothde like dogges who knowes not eke that tillers may not bée Dumbe deafe or lame or stammerers or such as cannot sée Away with broken limping legges and halting hips beside No mowlehill caryed on the backe nor wennes the throte to hide No lynmie nor member let there want but all in order due And in proportion comely framde and pleasant to the vew Least Vulcane with his crooked pace delight the scornefull sort Or with some other fault or maime do make the people sport Resembling Thersit in his looke or else Corites face Or Esope in his lothsome shape or Damon in his grace Ne let him of a harlot be borne of vnhonest fame By common rut as beastes do vse or villaines voyde of shame This also must be lookte vnto what trade his parents vsed If no reprochfull kinde of arte that ought to be refused They liude vpon for trade of life doth often hinder much And let the worde that as it should the heart it cannot tuch Of these things also other causes mayst thou many bring For though it lyes not in our power and though it be a thing We can not doe withall nor helpe what shape soeuer fall By fowle mishap or parents fault yet he that gouernes all Createth nothing here in vaine For if the fashion right Of things be altred here from good and nature chaunged quight It doth declare some great mishap and is a perfite signe Of Gods appoynted punishment and of his wrath diuine If that the same be stainde with blacke against his nature cleare Or that the moone before the full eclypsed doe appeare If in the glistring starrie night a blasing starre doe rise And armed men in clowdes appeare and skirmish in the skies If sodenly the sunne do stay or Planets runnes awrie If dreadfull streames of bloud doe gush and fall from heauens hie Or if amid the market place a sauage Woolfe doe stande Or beast doe speake who can suppose that goodnesse is at hande Who feares not streight the wrath of God or who that hath his wit Will not conceyue some great mischaunce to happen after it Both nature and examples eke perswades vs to the same The Grecians eft the signes of God haue felt of auncient fame The like in many ouerthrowes the Romanes prowde haue knowne Nor rashly séemed the ore to warne that Rome should kepe hir owne Sagunthus sacked and all hir men in cruell order slaine Did shew the infant entred not his mothers wombe in vaine Did not the armyes sworde and cart that God in clowds did sende Foreshow Hierusalems decay and miserable ende And Xerxes might in field before his legges for flight prepare When as a Mare amongst his campe did fole a flying Hare The monstruous foling of a M●yle beside did plainly show The loftie walles of Babilon should haue an ouerthrow We all abhorre these monstrous birthes as nature vs doth mooue And seldome after them is séene doth any goodnesse prooue But most of all if women chaunce such monstrous shapes to beare If nature faile in those that are the worldly rulers heare For sure the outward countnaunce doth declare the inwarde minde And what lyes hid in secret sense of good or yll we finde Of any foule yll fauoured face what lookste thou for but yll And who doth not his talke abhorre and shunne his presence styll For these misshapen folkes vnto themselues or other men Betoken harme or else a signe of froward witte in them Therefore let not our husbandman be shapte yll fauouredly Nor any such whose parents haue bene staynde with infamie And if it might be done I would a thing we seldome sée That in his tender youth he should in vertue trayned bee And from his childhoode learne to loue the Lord and him to dread And euermore commit himselfe to Christ his soueraigne head And worship him with harmelesse hart in déede and worde alwayes And séeke the thing that most may sounde to his most worthie prayse Likewise to pray that from the skies the blessed holy spright On him may fall by whome he may teach Christ to all men right Let him to parents dutie shew and honor learne to giue To eche man as his place requires and as he here doth liue I would beside he should be kept with vertuous companie And shunne the gracelesse sort of youth that vse to prate and lie ▪ Least that his fellowes him infect with maners lewde and yll That hardly after will be le●t for any care or skill The die that wooll doth first receyue will hardly out be got No more than on the Tables newe the first deformed spot And this beside importeth much if that the parents heare The nourse and eke the schoolemaister be good and Christ do feare Thus would I haue him liue with men that good and vertuous bée ▪ In yongest yeares when as you list you bow the tender trée And filthie wordes he may not heare nor vse at any time Nor with his eyes
