great wrong To serue and set vp other Gods to runne a whoring long Thou hast for wooden Gods Gods liuelie Image spilde And with the streams of christiaÌ„ blood the streets canels fild Thou hast with Egipt long Gods word in prison pent And wilfullie refusde the light that he to thee hath sent The Mâ—ses that begins this light for to vnfolde Thou seekst to lap him presentlie in chaines and irons colde Thou dost with Amalek with all thy wit assaie To lie in waite that in thy land the truth may haue no waie And thou a cruell nursse to Gods elect hast been To blemish thus the shining light that in thee hath bin seene And with Ierusalem Gods Prophets thou hast slaine That in thy popish ignorance thou mightest still remaine If Iuda shall be fed with wormwood mixt with gall If wilfull Egipt plagued were that kept Gods Church in thral If God no pitie showde and mercie none would haue Vpon the land of Amalek nor man nor beast to saue And if the blinded pride that in Ieruslem dwelt Could not escape Gods heauie wrath but man childe it felt What shall become of thee thou blinde and bloodie land How dost thou think for to escape Gods iust reuenging hand But sith I doo not doubt God will reuenge our case And for his chosen when he list prouide a dwelling place I will no more lament in sad and mourning stile But thanke the Lord that set me safe within this pleasant Ile O happie England thou from God aboue art blest Which hast the truth established with peace and perfect rest God giue thee therewithall a good and thankfull minde That to thy louing God no waie thou shew thy selfe vnkinde But still thou maist remaine as thou hast been of yore A Nurse to Gods afflicted flock that he maie blesse thee more But now will I depart the Lord direct my waie And send me in this pleasant Ile some simple slender staie Till God grant me returne or otherwise prouide But is not that an English-man that I haue yonder spide Wel met my frend tel what thou art that mak'st this mone And whie within these desart woods art thou thy selfe alone I am a stranger wight and France my natiue soyle FroÌ„ which of late by luckles chance need am forst to toyle Such troubles and such warres of late haue there befell That such as feare the Lord aright no suretie haue to dwell Within that wofull Land so God me hether sent To liue with you in happie state which he this Land hath leÌ„t Oh happie then am I my frend I thee desire Come goe with me for of these warres I greatly long to hear And if that thou wilt staie as long as thou wilt craue My house as thine and all therein thou shalt be sure to haue Therefore my frend I praie thy wit and tongue prepare The cause of all these bloodie broiles in verse for to declare And first of all describe the matter and the man The place the time the manner how this Ciuill warre began O Sir but this request doth pierce my wounded hart Which gladly would forget again my woful countries smart For who can well displaie the treasons and the guiles The bloodie murders mercilesse the snares and craftie wiles Which France hath put in vre these thirtie yeeres and more The like of which in Christendome was neuer seene before But sith it is your will to know the wofull state hate Of Christs afflicted Church in France which Antichrist doth Come rest you here a while and marke what I shall tell Great warres broiles I must declare God graÌ„t it may be wel And first to pitch the plot that you doo so desire I will vnfolde the cheefest cause that kindled first this fire ABout the verie yeere of Christ his Incarnation A thousand fiue hundred fiftie seuen by iust coÌ„putation Henrie ware the Crowne the second of that name In whose vnhappie Reigne began this fearfull fierie flame For now in France began Gods truth for to appeere Whose ioiful beames in Germanie at this time shone ful cleer But as the Iewes sometimes Gods Prophets did despise And as the Scribes and Pharisies did set their whole deuise To shade the shining light which God to them had sent So France in furie blindlie set against Gods truth is bent Which truth but latelie sowen and scant appearing greene They seeke by force by fire sword to roote raze it cleene But though proud Pharao did Gods chosen long oppresse Yet still amiddes the fierie broiles his people did increase So now amiddes the flame Gods word a passage found Which did increase his chosen flocke by force of siluer sound VVhich sound in Gods elect did worke such sodaine change In all estates that at the first in France it seemed strange Gods mightie Spirite did worke his mercie still was prest That some of all estates were calde their blindnesse to detest Though riches be a let and noble birth some staie That verie few of these saith Christ do finde the perfect way Yet God to bring to passe the worke he did intend Did also raise some Noble men the poorer to defend So now they fall at square now here began the strife For Sathan could not beare to see a new reformed life That Prophesie is true for Christ did speak the word I came not to giue peace to mine but strife debate sword The sonne against the sire one frend against another The word shal brothers part set the daughter gainst the mother So fel it out in France his word did now deuide His chosen from the rest of those that tooke the aduerse side The Land deuided thus two parts there fell at first Gods people were in number least the greater was the worst Now Sathan was afraid for now he striued sore To keepe the King and chiefest States in blindnes as of yore It pincht him to the quicke to lose his kingdome so It greeude him to the hart that he should let his seruants go He sits not idle now he calls his wits in place Some cunning knacke for to contriue to help him in this case His wilie wilfull craft by long experience bred Hath taught him now an ancient feat to crush the gospels head Now summons he his men and seruants to appeere Now help me at this need quoth he my frends felows deer Now is the time to stirre while matters yet be newe While blinded mindes in doubting hang not knowing what istrue For if the word of God do once begin to shine Then farewell all I shalbe faine my kingdome to resigne But if you will agree and follow mine aduise We shall cut off this sowen word as fast as it shall rise And first we must giue out some vile and leud report Of such as doo professe the truth and such as doo resort Vnto their Sermons so this waie it will be best To
