and Sodomie The third office the mundayne occupation Was commaunded to Adam in Genesis we may sée And by the holy ghost and his inspiration The influence thereof hath muche diuersitie For the profite of man and his vtilitie And in Moyses law commaunded was the same And Chryst of his goodnesse and benignitie This office and power did not correct ne blame He commaunded not to care for meate drinke and cleth As who say our minds on such things should not be But to prouide it and haue it he hath confirmed both For he vsed it him selfe in his cathedralitie Paule sayth worse than an Infidell in cenositie Is he which will not for his housholde prouide Peter and Paule to seruaunts for industrie Commaunded to obey their maisters for their guide Muche Scripture recordeth this office not prophane If they be wrought in fayth they be good works no doubt These shuld be always operous mens nedes to sustaine And not inprōpt but assiduous their works to bring about As to delue to dike to spin to grinde or boulte For their housholde charges and their reparation Be it Tinker or Cobler which setteth but on a clout They may worke when they nede hinder no saluation For necessitie Paule wrought and made diuers tentes And for error of the weake as I suppose and gesse But our Prelates should not so hauing léefull stipends For feare of filthy lucre and hindring their office Artificers and laborers should worke this businesse And Iusticiers do iustice with all their might puissance Here the hande and the foote can not well expresse Nor the foote to the loynes I néede not thy assistance This churche or body muste haue a head generall Which is Chryst God and man our Lorde essentiall And his generall minister for gracious influence Is the holy ghost promised by his magnificence And I am with you sayd he vnto the worlds ende That is with vs say the prelates for his churche can not erre That is not so say I marry God defende For of all creatures there is no men werre Was the holy Ghost in him that deceiued Celestinus With a trumpe in his eare and so got the Papasie Or with him that tooke out of his graue Formosus And dight him in a chayre in his pontificalitie And stroke of his head to reuenge his olde iniurie And one depriued another without any fayle And made him ride to Rome to his incommoditie With his face reuersed spectant to the tayle One bequest him selfe long life by the spirit of prophesie And soone after brake his necke without incolumitie And through discorde in seuen yeres there were puppets nyne And one through strife put out anothers eyne And Semachus and Laurence and many mo did come To the Romane Sée with great abhomination And fortie mo then these in Catholico pontificum Their déedes are not described for their great detestation Thrée at once was a trifle for the roume to compare Or with the Arians opinion Liberius infecte Their vice in ten volumes one can not well declare As Ioane English a woman their puppet elect Which trauelled in procession which is an ill respecte That the holy Ghost with them shuld gouerne domine For let their déedes be wayed vnto a true effecte And by al gracious vertue their works hath lost the signe I maruell by what signes they do thus inherite By thrée crownes or by crosses or pillers principall Or orders deuised should thus haue the espirite Or Myters Crochet or Crownes or hattes Cardinall With ●ippets or rochets or garments Pharisaicall Chryst vsed not this nor his Apostles deare But were prudent as Serpents and simple as doues all With pouertie and payne to make their fayth appeare They spake with new tongs without humane instructiō Some reuiued the dead and maladies mortiferous To palpe Serpents ne venime to them was destruction Some Disciples prophesied with many signes vertuous And said not master master and vsed things sumptuous For whē Christ said I am with you vnto the worlds end That was with you with such elect to faith prosperous My grace by instinction wil I euer send Of the supreme head of the Church in earth Now to punishe not procéeding vpon the holy Ghost Within realmes politike there must be heads capital And to commaund those things to be done to the vttermost With all humane businesse and iustice terrestial Our prelates shuld not their works shuld séeme temporal Christes kingdom was not héere then who shuld haue the power But the owners of the soiles to kéepe truth legal Be he Marques or Duke Prince king or Emperor All power in heauen earth quod Christ is giuen to me Our prelates can chalenge by this no domination For they must follow Chryst in his humilitie And not in the power of his glorification Who would be maister must serue to do ministration And the disciple aboue his master should not bée It is inough to be equall by Chrystes declaration Now our Prelats by this shuld haue no gret souerainty When Chryst sayd all power that is to vnderstande Both kings power and euery power by my father constitute As now corroborate and put into my hande Their offices vnder me to do and execute For he came to lose no lawes by his father institute But to make that perfect which should giue life perpetual And that should those ministers alway execute And preache to all creatures the truthe euangelicall In the same Chapter it foloweth apparant His precepts should be obserued before which he had said And which is Gods giue it God these words are illustrāt And which is Cesars giue Cesar no mā can this persuade And Peter for Christ and him tribute to Cesar paide some wil say like gentils they shuld haue no king ne lord This maketh not for their purpose by no reason made But against their Romaine Uiper al scripture to record When Christe said there shal be no king ouer you That was your rightuousnesse all other shuld transcend Yee shuld néede no law for vice yee shuld eschue For Christe came to minister all vertue to amend And not to haue a minister for that he would offend But for obedience and vnder gouernance When he payed the tribute that doth the truth pretend And Peter proueth it plaine Gods diuine purueyance Some wil say in the Actes and by Paule we may sée That the Apostles to Princes were not obedient In election ne vsage but among them selues frée To them I put the case by way of argument If the kings grace shuld send by his minde beneuolent Twelue discrete persons to the regions of Asia To the Turks lāds or Sophies to preach Christ omnipotēt And to Prester Iohns and the great Canis of Catha These wold elect those which in faith were constant To minister and preach and make predication And cleane abiecte those in faith which were variant And of the Turke and the Sophie make no reputation
