desire the same light might shine clearely in eyes of all other mens understanding And now I would I were as wel able as willing to make sute to the higher powers that by their lawfull authoritie the unlawfull offices jurisdictions of the Prelates might be abolished The performance wherof as you know would make way for establishing of godly preachers throughout the land and removall of all dumbe dogges and ilde drones which feed their own bodies sterve other mens soules Might this gratious worke be once effected there would be full supply for many painfull and wel deserving preachers out of those fat Bishopricks and ric● revenues which now serve but for a fewe yet too many proud prela●es and their swaggering retinue But some that were fit to be suiters in this worthy cause will surely fainte eyther for feare of mans face or for want of faith in God Miles Yet let all men be comforted in this that God will haue his vvorke done vvhen and by vvhomsoever he shall appoint the performāce therof For strong and Mighty is ●he Lord of Hostes able to doe all things vvhen man is vveak and unable to doe any thing He hath spoken the vvord and it shall stand yea his vvord is ●ure vvord Hab. 3. vvho then shall resist And vvho knowes not that the Aboats and the rest of that generation ●ad as much ●oo●ing in Englād as haue now the Bishops and wer● in their time as much supported by humane authoritie as are they yet being parts of that an i●●ristian synagogue spiritual Babylon which the Lord hath threatned to consume they are consumed rooted out end quite abolished and that with as much detestation as these their brethr●n are now had in admiration who being growne great go ten up aloft are also terrible to the peoples wherein they fitly resemble the Anakims race of the Gi●nts in Canaan for feare of whom the harts of the Israelites melted wherin they ten of the 12 spies greatly sinned but ●aleh Iosuah who were faithful incouraged the Lords people to goe up against them and possesse the good land vvhich the Lord promised them Be you careful to follow the example of the faithful not of the feareful even ●s you desire to haue sinne subdued and the unrighteous ordināces of Antichrist overthrown that the Lords blessed ordinances which he hath promised to his people now under the Gospell may be established and enjoyed among them Labour you as an instrumentall meanes to make the same light appear unto others which you say hath arisen unto your self that both they and you may walk in the light as children of the light of the day forsaking all d●eds of darknes Continue constant in a good testimony and bereave not your self of the fruit that will followe Seeke unto him for your helpe who is Lord of Lords and King of Kings who hath the hear●es of all Kings and Princes of the earth to turne ●hem as it pleaseth him And secundarily s●eke unto higher powers the Prince Peeres and Magistrates with earnest suite according to your place and utmost meanes that you can make for furtherance of a full reformation and freedome from the former abuses which I stedfastly beleeve God wil accomplish at one time or other Therfore when you haue begun well be not weary of weldoing And remember for your exampleing and incouragement the good hand of God that was upon Nehemias when hee sought the wealth prosperitie and reedifying of Ierusalem and what furtherāce he found at the hands even of a heathen King Nehem. 1. chapt which should put you into a strong hope of good successe and gratious grants from our Christian King But where you s●em to desire that the livings of idle and Antichristian Prelates might be converted to the maintenance of painful Christian preachers you aim not aright at the glorie of God which cannot be advanced by seeking to have his Ministery mainteyned by those livings that were formermerly consecrated to idolatrie and yet used to the high dishonour of God in maintenance of part of that great swarme of popish officers whereof some are cast out of the land and many doe yet remaine Wheras if men will be the true Ministers of Christ they should cōtent themselves ●o live by the means that he hath appointed that is by the voluntari● contribution of the Lords free people Sainctes by calling And as for all such idolatrous livings they ought in every Countrey by the Magistrates of the same to be converted to civil uses wherein how much the more that charitie is respected so much the more shall God therein be honoured All such livings are of the stollen goods which Antichrist hath purloigned from the common wealth civil estates of people to inriche his Clergie vvithall and for supporting of his other abominations So as such goods and livings cannot rightly be imployed till they be converted ●o civil uses againe Which vvill be as the taking of the purse from the thieves hand to give unto the true man But whiles you think to beg these idolatrous livings from the Prelates to the Preachers your suite is not worth the suing for neyther will God be pleased therewith The preachers that will depend upon God follow his word are to haue their wants supplied otherwise as is abovesayd But thus though you seeme to forsake the errour that you were in about the Bishops office yet you are in an other errour about their livings which you think ought to be for other Ministers And herein I will put my selfe to new paines to informe you better Desiderius Wee haue lately heard a Bell sound that it is a just judgement of God upon K. Henry the 8. that there is not one of his posteritie left to sit upon his throne for bereaving the Church of the Gleabes Abby lands c. and imploying them to other uses And how then shall the taking away of the Bishops livings from the Clergy to the laitie from the service of God in the Church to the service of the common wealth be esteemed lesse then a sinfull and sacrilegious act Miles Such Bells as you speak of that sound so badly deserve well to loose their clappers or to be hung out of all mens hearing For the work of that worthy King in suppressing those Abbyes Frieries Nunneries and the Vermine living in them was all within the limits of his office and duetie as was also the converting of those livings to his own or other civil uses In which the more he respected the glory of God and charitie the more worthy was his work and deserved the higher praise even as those Kings and Princes shall doe whom God vvill imploy as his instruments for rooting out the remnant of that race the Arch and Lord Bishops with a number of false functions and anti christian offices under them and converting o● their livings likewise to civil uses For these livings and ecclesiasticall offices and Ministeries
the Bishops For they rise up hastily put the other down most hatefully Miles It is then with the Bishops according to the old proverbe evil weeds doe growe apace And Mr. Tindall in the practise of Prelates shewe●h to this eff●ct That as the Ivie comp●sseth the oake and groweth up about it till it is higher then he oake it self so doth the Prelates with their Princes Hereof wee haue seen lamentable experience in the papacie For the Bishop of Rome hath gotten himself aloft advauncing himself above the trees as it is in Iothams parable Iudg. 9.7 c. that is above Princes even Kings and Emperors whō he makes his vassals and kissers of his feete We ●●ad in ●yst of one of those Bishops that 〈…〉 upon the Emperors neck and having s●t on the crowne with his hand hee stroke it off with his foote To shewe that he had power to 〈◊〉 up call downe Kings at his pleasure God grant that such presidents may be a warning for all Kings and Princes to keep downe such climers while power is in their hand to restraine their unnaturall growth But is it not to now that the Arch Bishops grace is come to the Title of a Prince and President in the Right honourable privie counsell And are not also the inferiour Bishops invested with the stile of Barons and Peeres of the Realme Which titles and authorities are in deed fit for Peeres and Magistrates in the common wealth not for ministers of the Church but is forbidden unto them in the sacred Scriptures And yet such titles doe men give and these Bishops presume to take notwithstāding And that not as they are imployed in civil affaires but as they are ministers and spiritual men and are therefore called spiritual Lordes even as the others truely honourable are called the Lords temporall and are so distinguished one from another The abuse ought to be much lam●nted and utterly abandoned And these are of that broode which the learned linguist Mr. Hugh Broughton usually calleth the banned Bishops But tell m● how doe they now behave themselves in their usurped authorities Desiderius It may be answered That that is not usurped which is given But Princes doe give them their authoritie Therefore they usurp it not Miles If the Prince of princes hath not given it them but forbidden it they are usurpers the donation of earthly princes cannot make them to be otherwise seing it is unlawfull for the one to give for the other to receive such authorities and titles But you answer not my demand how they behave themselves therein Desiderius They imprison put to silence degrade at their owne pleasure and to speak the trueth they stand more upon the observation of their ovvne unholy ceremonies then upon Gods most holy oracles And all that refuse to bovv they vvill bend till they break the back of their conscience So that I see no end of their evills neither can I dive into their doings for a suteable discoverie vvithout much sorovve of heart Miles When Iohn Baptist sent Disciples unto Iesus to ask him whether he vvas he that should come or vvhether vve should look for another Our Saviour ansvvered Goe and tell Iohn what thinges ye heare and see The blinde receive sigh● and the halt walk the leapers are cleansed and the deafe heare the dead are raysed up and the poore receive the Gospell Math 11.4 5.6 c. Novv these being the vvorks that the true Christ should doe Iesus doeing them Iohn knevv and taught his disciples to knovv that that vvas in deed the very Christ promised Even so those vvorks that you say the Bishops doe being the vvorks of Antichrist doe tell reach that these Bishops are truely Antichristian And the discoverie of their doings hath been sufficiently performed heretofore by sundry persons in divers manners by some merily by some modestly by some gravely all soundly Therefore take you no care for that service neyther let any be dismayed for their loftynes tyrannicall cariages A lofty sayle with great vvindes vvill soone break dovvne a rotten mast And the higher the Bishops climbe the nearer they are to their fall the greater shall it be Yea vvho can tell hovv soon the vvindes of Gods vvrath shall blovv upon them against vvhich they shall not stand The Axe of Gods vvorde is ready hastily to hevv them dovvn did not humane authoritie hinder the stroke of it to support the Lordlynes of these Prelates for a season But vvhen the time is come vvhich the Highest hath set humane authoritie shall no longer hinder but help to further Gods vvork As it vvas in the dayes of Cyrus King of Persia vvhen the deliv●rance of Gods people came so suddenly as they vvere like those that dreame Psal. 126. which is as if they reasoned in themselves are vve delivered or doe vve but dream of deliverance The first Babylonians had their fail and vvho need make doubt that these vvho are Babylonians spiritual and vvere typed out by the former shall tast of their cup and vvhē they haue drunk then may this race of Anchrists clergie dolefully sing the dovvnfall of their offices and Bishopricks For dovvne they must mauger the Divil deviser and first foun●der of their functiō Though Babel should moun● vp unto heaven and though shee should defend he● strength from on high yet from me shall her destroyers come sayth the Lord. Ier. 51.53 Miles I dare not be so severe to censure them in respect of their office which may be holy though they are unholy but in respect of their harmfulnes in their office which I cō●fess is too too apparant and past all denial Miles If a woulf should forbeare to ravine and cease to doe harme yet is he a Wolfe still and hath in him the same wolvish nature and who then would trust him in a flock of sheep or cōmit the guidance of them to his charge Even so if those Bishop and false ministers should forbeare to doe harme yet are they the same false ministers stil being not sent of God not sanct●fied unto his people and therfore ought not to be trusted with the sheepe of Christ not be a guide unto them but to be thrust out although for the time present they did no harme at all Thus might they bothe please God in doeing his will and put away from themselves all danger and dread which continually do compasse them whiles they are ledd by such guides Yea the perill whereof is much greater then if they were sold to be under the conduct or cōmand of the chief Captaynes under their most mortal and manifestly knowne enemies For such danger is but ●●mporal but this eternall That concerneth 〈◊〉 the body onely this the soule and body ●o Take heed ther●fore what ministers you ●ommit your self unto for the guide of your ●●●e lest whiles they should feed you with the ●holesome milk of Gods word they fill you with the poi●on of their ovvne or other
people ignorant and unable to discern or judge of the gifts fitnes life of the person chosen and presented the Patrō many times being a child a woman yea peradventure a profane or wicked persō a Papist an Atheist an Heretick c. which choice the miserable people rue that are subject to these woefull orders and must endure whatsoever these lords their Patron Ordinary do be the Priest never so bad Neyther can all the learning wisdome these Bps. haue or want their orders laying on their handes or breathing their vnholighoste vpon them make either this trust and callinge of these Patrones good or the Parsons thus called true Ministers of Christ. All that God hath appointed to the Ministry he calleth lawfullie to the ministerie neither can any that want this lawful callinge be lawful Ministers Now then the office of these Patrones beinge found thus cōtrarie to the word of God thus prejudicial and pernici●ous to the Churche ought also by the Prince to be abolished which office being taken away wee see no● how any man can challenge the re●venous belonging therevnto as to their private vse When in the bes● consideration these Patrones wer● but as Deputies or Feffees of trus● to see the Towne furnished of a con●venient Priest in due

same Which sheweth that the Prince hath power to chāge the vse and bestow the Lands as pleaseth her onely to civile vse But as to these tithes which these ravenous Priests extort from all her Majesties subjects thrusting in their sickle into everie field their fleshhooke into every poore bodies kettle without regard of faithful or unfaithfull riche or poore devouring widowes houses and poore succourlesse children under colour of long prayers tithing even to the Mint and Anyse though the Prince ought to take thē out of these greedie harpies hands may of her royall authority assume not onely them but even what part of her subjects goods it shall please her in way of tribute yet if her Majestie of her bounteous disposition shall vouchsafe to give back and restore these tithes to their peculiar owners especially to the poore or to reserve what portion therof shee please to her owne use she shal both inriche and highly content all her subjects and binde them most firmly unto her far surpasse in bounty not onely all her roiall Progenitours but even rather all the Kings and Emperours that ever were in the world and relieve more poore hungrie soules every day then the King Assuerosh did at his long lasting sūptuous feast which shall no doubt be more acceptable be held more pure religion and undefiled before God thus to visite the widow and fatherlesse in their tribulation to smite off this more heavie yoke then ever was imposed by any King of this Land and let the oppressed goe free and to keepe her self unspotted of the world then to make sumptuous feasts unto the rich or to offer store of burnt offrings unto God And as her Majestie shall hereby release the bodies of her oppressed subjects from daily grievous exactions of these greedy Priests so much more shall she relieve many a sorowfull distressed soule yea even the whole Land that long haue beene misled held under these more then Babylonish yoke Egyptian bondage of their Antichristian power ministery and traditions by proclaiming unto al her subjects the joyous heavenly pure gospell of Christ calling all men by all meanes to the holy free and sincere practise therof in all things as God shal give sight prohibiting restreininge and abolishing all contrarie religions practice and by seeing the Law of God in both the Tables daily observed by all estates and degrees within her highnes Dominions And loe how the Lord inviteth and inciteth her highnes herevnto preferring her giving her the preeminence of this glorious work before all the Kings of the world as also how richly he rewardeth all that furder this high service both by putting into their handes the riche spoile of this confused Babylon by bringing them to Sion the Citie of his solemne feasts O what a joy what a Iubile what a happie day were this to the whole Land far surpassing that at Machanajjm to see our heavenly King Christ Iesus thus with one accord received and welcomed into his kingdom his Church How should Gods name our Queenes praise be celebrate for this by every mouth even with a generall applausion and Celeusme The sound whereof should not onely fill this Land but be heard into all others to the giving them example stirring them up unto the like extirpation of all Idolatrie and unto the true practise of the Gospel what Christian yea what stony heart would hinder God from this glorie the Prince from this fame the people from this comfort themselves and all others from this salvation How hainous then is the sinne impietie of the Divines Prophets of these tymes against God their Prince and the whole land that by their uttermost power endevours seeke to stoppe and turne back her Majestie her most honourable Councellors and Nobles from this holy streight course by speaking evill of the Gospell ordinances of Christ and perverting the streight wayes of God by leading and houlding captive them and the whole Land under their false worship and antichristian ministery to the seducing and destruction of all their soules and by accusing reproching slandering persecuting false imprisoning and if they could hanging and burning all such as either in all humble Christian manner stand and plead for the sincere and true practise of the Gospel or by the light thereof discover and eschew the popish corruptions and abominations which they impose and mainteyne contrary to the truth of the Gospel These are the onely meanes wherby these Prelates defend themselves or convince their adversaries which if they were but even a little while plucked out of their hands by her Majestie and the honourable Governours and called to the spiritual sword to defēd their doings by the direct rule of Gods word then were they disarmed discovered and confounded at once then should it soon be seen how wel these timber straw and stubble buildings of theirs would endure that fiery trial of Gods word then should all these controversies soon be be at an end Yet because they bring certaine delusions calumniations and impediments in humane wisdome worldly policie and divillish deceit which may deter trouble and keep back the weak and simple from this holy reformation and sincere conversion to the gospell of Christ wee will in the meane time addresse our selves in all brevitie to remove some of their chiefest stumbling blocks out of the way that an aggest
without all question their injuries haue been more then ynough though Lawes were not wrested against them And this wrong was the greater considering their love and loyalty to Prince Country But their judges must come before the Iudge of all the world that wil doe right In respect wherof I pray for them that their case may be found cleare through repentance which is the right way thereunto if it be done in time And for all the Saintes here combating under the banner of the great Captaine of the Lords Host that is Iesus Christ it behoveth them in patience to possesse their soules looke for their rest when the Lord commeth who will wipe all teares from their eyes give them an inheritance everlasting immortal which fadeth not away reserved in the heavens for them Which shal be enjoyed when others on the left hand shall both heare a contrary sentence and receive a worse reward But as Abigail the wife of Nabal is praised in that she used such wise and good meanes to prevent and stay David from bringing that evill which he intended against Nabal and all his house for his churlish reprochful and evill answer so much more shal it be a praise-worthy work special part of good seruice durie in any that shall perswade withdraw the Magistrates and people from bringing any evill upon the servants of God without a cause For as the Psalmist sayth what hath the righteous done To which every good Christian may answer They haue surely done that which deserves praise and not punishment not imprisonment reproches confiscatiō of goods banishment untimely death or any the like evill intreaty Desiderius They may so answer and that truely but the world vvill not receive it And now I pray you tell me What difference doe you put between those people called Brownists and our sincerest and best professors of the Gospel called Puritans M. Mickelbound The difference is layd downe in few words The former doe both hold and practise the truth and separate themselves from the contrarie The latter haue the trueth in speculation onely and either dare not or at least doe not practise it Neither dare or doe they leave off all the unrighteous ordinances of Antichrist but daily do bend and stoupe unto many of them And for what cause others may well conjencture but their owne hearts can best tell it to themselves Desiderius But those Christians called Brownists are at great difference among themselves For some holdes private communion others of them will at no hand allow it And so there ariseth ill will with decrease of love in one towards another But I pray you which of those persons or opinions doe you like best M. Mickelb For their opinion I would haue my judgement spared at this time Onely this I say that their difference is not such as ought to make any division between them or to breake off the cōmunion and fellowship which they had before And if any doe it is doubtlesse the fault of those that doe it They haue need therefore to take heed of prejudice and preposterous zeale which else will be as a mother nourse to breed and bring up that wicked weed Envie a capitall vice in sted of Christian Love a holy vertue Be they then exhorted to shew forth the fruites of Christian moderation bearing with and supporting one another praying with and for one another enterteyning holy peace between themselves and with the Lord setting against the sinnes in themselves rather then that difference in their brethren so shall they the better carry forth their good cause against their envious Opposites For while they combine togither among themselves they shall be able to push and at last to overthrowe the Antichristian Kingdome and Hierarchy against which they joyntly beare witnes And thus shall they be truely zealous As for their persons there is neither of them doe lose one jote of my love if they continue their love to the Lord and his commandements walking faithfully according to that which he giveth them to see and knowe by his word both in holynes to himselfe righteousnes towards men and sobriety in themselves with abstinence from worldly lusts And if they alike thus walk my love is alike unto them Desiderius Some doe object against them their manner of receiving the Lords supper as being rude unreverent malepert and too too presumptuous sitting upon their seates as if they were Christs Camerades whereas for more reverence they ought to take it kneeling Miles This is no more against the former called Brownists then it is against the latter called Puritans even the best and sincerest of them For they likewise so hold that it ought not to be takē kneeling but sitting and eyther doe or faine would so practise if they could in safetie or durst indure the trouble following after it But for the point it selfe How doe those objecters prove that such manner of receiving is presumptuous c But are not they presumptuous rather that shal make them selves wiser then Christ and give lawes in his kingdome or Church which himself the onely Law giver hath not given Do they think that their good intents will carry out any thing in Gods worship which hath not warrant in his word If that were so then had not Vzzah been slaine for staying the Ark of God from shaking 2 Sam. 6.6.7 Neyther should King Saul haue been rejected for saving alive the fat cattel of Amalek to offer in sacrifice to God 1. Sam. 15. But the point being sufficiently cleared by sundry writers I referre you to them And I what should I need to say more but this that ●ee must in all thinges looke unto the first institution as our Lord Iesus himself also did when men spake unto him of putting away their wives who told thē that Moses for the hardnes of their heartes suffered it but from the beginning it was not so And in like manner to such as plead for kneeling at the receiving of the Lords supper we may answer that for want of love to the Lord and his trueth it hath pleased him to give them over to hardnes of heart strong delusions And as the Papists those grosse idolaters receiving the signes of Christs body and bloud to wit bread and wine thinking it to be the very body and bloud it selfe contrary to their own senses they doe for more reverence to it kneel before it and worship it as their God and Maker even so our formal Protestants at the celebration of the Lords supper do likewise kneele imitating therin those idolaters and so nourishing that popish errour of errours But from the beginning it was not so For at the first institutiō it was received as they sate at the Table But we can no where finde in all the scriptures that ever they received it kneeling or that ever true Christians beleeved those holy signes were transubstantiated into the body and bloud of Christ as the Papists falsely teach
agreeth which in expresse termes avoweth their matrimony to be lawful who are coupled togither so as Gods word doth allowe and declareth moreover that the very thing which maketh mariage is the covenant betwixt the parties themselves when they take one another for man and wife by words of the present time as may be seen in the Booke of Common prayer in the charge given to the parties the parties speeches one to an other 4.

Gaij institut lib. 1. tit 4. 5.

Mick And I wish that by this occasion the● would be stirred up to publish a larger work of the same Argument which I certainely heare they haue amongst them For I doubt not but it would shew you a better light then yet hath or can shine from me in whom remaineth overmuch darknes Desiderius It is like they wil doe it at your motion and be otherwise thankfull unto you for defending them and their cause M.

M. The Almighty can effect what it pleaseth him when and by what meanes he will But by that which I haue seen both in Court and Countrey I haue for the tyme present little hope in man Yet I am assured that the time shall come wherein God will honour some with the work of that good King Iosias in a larger measure for reformation then ever yet was seen in England And as any of these copies shall come into the hands of gratious persons be they humbly intreated conscionably to consider of the matter and accordingly labour to advance the glory of God and to procure the good both of the King and Countrey by effecting through diligent suite holy endeavors reformation in the things before treated on Which so farre as time place and purse wil permit shall be put to the Presse And so because of your hast I cease Desid Fare ye wel Monsieur Miles Dieu vous garde ●al and a thowsands thanks for all you paines c.
