beate most vpon the remoouing of dumbe dogs I could giue you some examples in Bedfordshire a whole rablement at least A Preacher if his conceipt be any thing swift that he can rolle it in the pulpit must haue his reader at his elbow to fauor his voice A Minister that hath any thing a fat benefice and a full belly will haue his Co-brother to assist him And what must he be but either an halfe-peny boy or an idle craftsman that shall serue for meate drinke and cloth a little tutoring in Diuinitie the reuersion of a benefice when it fauls where his godfathers commendatorie letters may preuaile I could well like that men of some desert and imploiment should haue their assistants so they were Preachers but you shall not take them in that fault Where is the conscience of these criers out on blinde guides become not resident at home now but abroad busie in inueighing against Bishops for their tolerations graunted to such as themselues haue preferred commended presented And by this Leger-demaine hath the Common-wealth béen robd of Tailors Shoomakers and good Artificers and the Church ouercharged with bad Ministers which thanke God I dare saie in their hearts with that firehot Preacher that they are so farre from the Romish Religion as they cannot vnderstand a word of the Latine toong I tell you this is a miserie to heare and a miserie to sée that such eager Callers for Reformation should plant s●ips of their owne gathering supplant Magistrates for wincking at it and make the people beléeue that they would haue it otherwise with all their hearts Now dare these fellowes aspire to further authoritie in Minister-making when they suffer their houses to be the Nourceries of such impotent and impudent encrochers vpon Church-Offices What saie the people to this geare tush let the master alone to speake for the man he will commend him for his great pro●̄ting in knowledge vnder him preferre him for a péece of plaine doctrine praise him that he is not infected with Philosophie or such like Vniuersitie learning but especially that he is an honest man zealous forward in Religion and one that séekes for Reformation This fellow cannot be misliked I warrant you I I that one word of Reformation Martin which hath béen so much in thy mouth so greatly in thy request hath made thy Customers swarme like Bees to the ringing of a Bason but take héed thine owne Cattaile sting thée not when they shall taste what Hemlockes thou hast mingled wherewith thine hiue was annointed But tush thy gossips will stand vpon it that Martins clocke goes true though the Diuell were in the Horologe their rellish is altered so far with the sirope of selfe-loue that Choller is called Zeale and Melancholy Mortification whereupon followes swift iudgement that cuts all other from saluation and some bad sullen conceipt peeuishly taken from their owne humorous imagination that they would haue all stampt vpon that be not of their stampe or will not be strainde to their starke staring madnes You had best saie now I speake against good men quatenus they are good Martin I am their Orator in the state demonstratiue to extoll them but a wart is a wart if it were in the face of Alexander frowardnes is frowardnes if it were in my Father sinne is sinne in holie Dauid himselfe And Socrates had a wanton looke of his owne though his schollers should beat the Phisiognomer for so saying I would they were so good as I could wish them we should haue better fruit and more good déeds which are now both thin sowne god wot thinner growne Yet be they as be may I may be thus bold with their masterships Beware of a heat for so long as a man is warme he cannot féele his owne imperfections but thinketh that euerie man which sweats not is keycold such firie Agues fall soonest into a surfeit and founder themselues with their intemperate behauiour You shal haue a lame Jade bridle and brag it vp and downe Smithfield when he is a little chafde as though hée could stand on no ground for lustines set him vp in a stable till he wax a litle cold and his limbes be so stiffe he can stand on no ground for lamenes Some of thy mates Martin I am afraid be alwaies stirring so busily least standing long still in the open faire they fall to downeright halting and so be disclosed for arrant heldings Such Iadish trickes make a sound horse to be suspected and some hipocrites make earnest professors doubted of yet neither condemned so vnmercifullie as though there were no way but one God forbid But leaue leaue all the sort of you to boulster vp the faults of your own parishioners boult out the skapes ofsuch as are none of your sectaries One spakey Apple will make the whole hourd smel picke him out One Hipocriticall dissembler will bring reproch vpon the whole brotherhood cull him out and although he defie the Surplice which is a point of great valiancie yet let him be put to the choice of a whip or a white shéete if he haue offered in secrecie to defend this position That a woman waking may lawfully graft Dianaes armes vpon the Temples of her husband sleeping You meane vnhappily Perceuall whatsoeuer your wordes be I know a newst what Circuit you are in But is it not a Religious déed to conceale the blemish of a brother least the Gospell be ill spoken of for his misdéeds As who should say the punishment of malefactors were not the fruit of the Gospell which heauenly blameles Oracle none but Atheists and Miscreants will condemne for the shameles action of such a one as speakes of gospels in the day but vseth I knew not what night-spels in the darke Neuer be afraid that any which hath his fiue senses will impute the fall of a brother to the ouergreat knowledge he had in the scriptures but to the slender practise and profite he made in the same for all his great boast Take héed haue an eye to the doore least that that Frierly Caueat créepe in amongst Protestants whereby their ghostly Fathers wished a man to liue Charily though not chastly Whether will Perceuall and this weather holde nay no further Martin thou maist spot in that hole for I le come no more there here I pitch my staffe and stand to vrge thée with these promises aboue named thou begannest ●●st and therefore giue not ouer last Thy beginning was worst let thine ending be best Controuersies be meate and drinke to the people but doo not cramme them with such gobbets as may sticke in their throats least they hang the head on the shoulder like him that was slaine with an arrow at Tiburn prickes That is a new kinde of dict with all my hart Yet sir when the stéele and the flint be knockde togither a man may light his match by the sparkle surely but I thinke tinder be verie danke now adaies and though it
