not now bee anie meanes to build vp or repayre his Church agayne any manner of waie The Lorde hath all meanes in his handes and both can and will in his good time build his Church by other meanes than by the reliques of Antichrist orrmaenentes of idolatrie and superstition Therefore let vs rest contented with whatsoeuer he doeth knowing let vs rest coytented with whatsoeuer he doth knowing that his wyll is the perfect square rule of all perfection and that he doth all things for his owne glorie and the good of his Church But to returne to the matter in hand so to conclude this point I graunt indeede that the building of Abbies and Monasteries in regarde of the abuses which afterwards insued of them by them was altogether vnlawfull pernitious and execrable yea altogether abhominable and consequentlie intollerable yet in respect of the intentions of the first founders of them and of the end whereto they were erected as namely to the end that God might bee glorified by them and his religion exercised maintained practised in them amongst all generations to the end of the world and the like I saie in respect of these ends they were not altogether so vnlawfull nor intollerable but beeing done to these ends to maintaine superstition and idolatrie to iustifie vs before God to purchase righteousnes to merit euerlasting life the like thē were they abhominable and detestable before God man But whatsoeeuer the building of thē was good or badde as good it could not be these are not such as the papists that liue in this age do greatly accouut of to be good workes And therefore to the end no man may heereafter bee ignorant hereof I will as briefly as I can endeuor my selfe to set down in order some such as the Papists now a daies do account for good workes in deede and such as deserue say they in this life infinit renumeratiō in the life to come euerlasting saluation These such like are they as followe The third Section Wherein is contained a briefe rehearsall of such workes as the Papists doe account to bee good workes and of great merite and desert before God though they bee repugnant and contrarie to the word of God and therefore cā they merit nothing but damnation in the iustice of God THE Papists account it a worke of infinit merite and vnspeakable deserte to persecute the Church of God to murther and kill his Saintes to massacre his children and to shedde innocent bloud That this is true I refer you to the registers and records of all ages and times that haue bene since the beginning of the worlde to this daie but especially in that famous ecclesiasticall cronologie of Actes and Monumentes of the Church made and published by that reuerend Father and learned diuine master Iohn Foxe wherein you shal finde almost infinite millions of blessed martyrs which haue bene murthered and put to most cruell death by these bloud-thirstie Papists yea in fiue yeres space to wit in the daies of Queene Marie you shall finde welneere if not altogether one thousand men women children of all ages degrees and sexes to haue bene some hanged strangled murthered burned racked and otherwise most cruelly tortured and put to death for the testimonie of Iesus and for the word of God If you list to haue further profe I refer you to that most perfidious cruell and more than barbarous massacre of Paris wherein were murthered and put to the swoord aboue fortie or fiftie thousand protestants within the compasse of one month throughout the whole realme of Fraunce And yet was this bloudie crueltie and slaughter of Gods Saintes so much applauded of the Pope that hee not onely dispensed with the murtherers but also graunted them pardon and indulgence of all their sinnes besides large promises of rewardes made to the perpetrators thereof as also bone fires banquettinges and feastinges throughout all the Citie of Rome for ioy as though it had beene the yeere of Iubelie or the creation of a newe Antichrist And heerein they doo but theyr kinde For it is the badge of the Church of Antichrist and the cognisaunce of the synagogue of Sathan to persecute murther and kill the Church of God It hath bene so from the beginning and shall bee so as Iohn in the Reuelation most prophetically speaketh to the end of the worlde Cain was a figure of theyr bloudie Church who persecuted his brother euen to the effusion of his bloud Esau was also a type of theyr Antichristian Church who persecuted Iacob threatning his destruction and which no doubt hee had perfourmed had it not beene wisely preuented by his mother Ishmael was the like who persecuted Isaac Pharao the verie same who persecuted the Israelites And truely this is a notable and an infallible marke to knowe the Church of GOD by from the synagogue of sathan For the badge of the Church of God is to bee afflicted persecuted and to haue theyr bloude shedde Contraryly the marke of the Antichristian church is to persecute to kill to slaie to murther and shed bloud to the end It was neuer read in any age or time that the church of GOD dyd euer persecute or shedde bloud but was alwaies persecuted and had theyr bloud shed by the synagogue of sathan and yet for all that which is myraculous the Church of God hath doeth and euer shall flourishe and increase still more and more maugre the heades and spite of all Papists and schismatikes whatsoeuer Yea by how much the more they goe aboute to suppresse it by so much the more it increaseth dayly much lyke to the Palme tree which the more waight it hath layde vpon it the broader it spreadeth his loppes and branches on euerie side True therefore is that saying of an ancient father Sanguis martyrum semen Ecclesiae The bloude of martyres is the seede of the Church And therfore would I wish all Papists to leaue off from murthering the poore Saintes of God anie longer for this if for no other cause yet for that they shall neuer bee able to preuaile against them no they are so inuinsible through the might of Christ who raigneth in them and strengthneth them that the gates of hell cannot preuaile against them nor death itselfe ouercome or vanguish them but euen in the middest of the raging flames they triumph ouer it The Papists also thinke it a worke of inestimable merite before God to laie violent handes vppon the Lordes annointed to kil and murrher Emperours Kings and Princes when they haue done they are canonized Saintes for theyr labour A fit guerdon for such a facte For as a holy writer sayth Multi adorantur per sanctis in hoc mundo quorum animae in inferno sepeliuntur Many are worshipped for Saintes vppon earth whose soules are buryed in hell Such Saintes are these whom the Pope doeth thus canonize Good king Dauid inspired with the spirit of God was of another mind when he
