your royall vertuous selfe to bee their righteous king millions of thousands in your England liues whose spirites by the instinct of nature giues themselues to loue the lawfull exercise of Armes they with ioyfull willingnes will waite vpon the summons of their kinges commaund and spend their liues their lands their goods in the performance of faithfull and obedient seruice your England hath for these many yeares obserued the maner of your neighbor bordering kingdoms gouernment with what prudeÌ„t wisedom your maiesty did protect the safety of your land the continued true report of your renowned vertues fed your Englands people with delightfull ioy and to their hearts it did a comfort giue when as they thought vpon that blessed hope which built it selfe vpon the well known right of your succession though in christian policie A publike note was taken from the vulgar view yet all the world may witnes that our late Queenerenownde Elizabeth did with her Lordes and honoured Councellers long ago decree to yeeld vnto your Maiestie the proper right of your inheritance and that the people of your kingdom did expect no lesse was certainely approued by that ioyful general applause whichal your Englands subiects gaue when as they heard king Iames proclaimde to be their Soueraigne And now most mightie Prince sith that in despite of Rome the God of heauen hath established your name on earth and made you greater then euer yet was any Christian king and hath in peace confirmed the regall seate of your imperiall throne I make no doubt but your Maiestie with a Christian constancie and religious care will confirme the strength thereof by the inuisible force of a prudent wise godly gouernment which doth vnto two speciall poynts direct it selfe which is vnto the well ordering of diuine and humane things wherein the obedience vnto God belonging doth challenge to it selfe a title Capital the celestiall dignitie whereof is first before all other things in the chiefest place to be preferred Diuine regiment doeth therefore take vnto it selfe the matter of Religion onely and the ordinaÌ„ces to be vsed in the church which in the time of the Law were commanded by God himselfe vnto his seruant Moses and hee by the appointment of God committed the principall charge thereof vnto Aaron and his sonnes and the tribe of Leui but now in the time of the Gospell they were taught and commaunded by Iesus Christ himselfe and by him left vnto his Apostles and from them the principall charge thereof is committed vnto the Bishops and Pastors of the Church And as in the time of the Law Aaron though he were the high priest vnto God and had chiefe authoritie in diuine things yet was not he the king Prince or supreme Magistrate ouer the people of God but that supremacie of kingly honour was giuen vnto Moses who was vnto Aaron in the stead of God and therefore next vnder God Aaron and his sonnes were accounted subiects vnto Moses So in the time of the Gospell though Bishops and Pastors haue the chiefe authoritie to deale with the administration of diuine and holy things yet they nor any of them are the kings princes or supreme Magistrates ouer the people of God and Church of Iesus Christ. But that supremacie of kingly honour is giuen vnto Kings and Princes in their seuarall kingdomes who are vnto Bishops and Pastors in the stead of God And therefore all Bishops and Pastors are to be accounted subiects vnto their seuerall Kings and Princes And as Moses in the diuine ordinances concerning the law of God did commaund nothing vnto Aaron and the tribe of Leui but that he had expresly receyued from the mouth of God So Kings and Princes in the diuine ordinance of the Gospel of Iesus Christ are not to commaund vnto their Bishops and Pastors any other thing then can bee expressely warranted by the doctrine of Christ himselfe or his Apostles Lastly as in the time of the Law the Kings and Princes of Israel and their Priests and Leuits did bring on them and their posterity the eternall curse of God when they fled from the obedience of the Law written by Moses in the old testament of God Euen so in the time of Gospel shall Kings Princes with their Bishops Pastors bring vpoÌ„ themselues their posteritie the eternall curse of God when they shall flie from the obedience of the Gospel written by the Apostles and Euangelifts and left vnto vs in the new Testament of Iesus Christ in which is contained the freedome libertie and iustification of our best esteemed and most blessed peace And from the obedience therevnto hath proceeded the long continuance of Englands peacefull quietnes and by the meanes thereof most mightie soueraigne your royall person and your Scotlands kingdome from euery threatned danger haue vntill this time most safely beene preserued And for from hence must spring the firme continuance of your royall state and kingdomes blessednesse your righteous soule no doubt will most desire that things diuine be chiefly lookde vnto and because there neuer was a church so rightly ordered but that some errors were therein remaining the reformation whereof did belong vnto the kings vnto whose charge the gouernment thereof in their seuerall kingdoms was principally committed it now therefore remaineth euident that your religious vnderstanding wise diuine and sanctifyed heart will in the beginning of your most happie raigne looke first amiddest your Englandes kingdome with godly care to beautifie the Spouses of Iesus Christ. My Soueraigne Lorde I doubt not but your highnesse will be pleased to obserue the order giuen vnto your princely son the happie comfort of your Englands hope and account it for your greatest honour to see the Church of God well gouerned I am a souldier my most mighty king and my dutie is when iust cause requires to fight for God and for his Church and for you my soueraigne next vnder God within the compasse of your kingdomes confines the onely supreme heade and gouernour Be then most mightie Prince vnder your captaine Christ a glorious instrument as to that ende you were ordained and aboue all things chiefly see his Church to be well ordered O then let your Maiestie vouchsafe with Salomon To walke downe into the Garden of Nuts The Sinagogues congregations in England and see the fruit of the valley see if the Vine buddeth and looke if the Pomegranets flourish Beholde what profite hath proceeded from the doctrine of the Law the Prophets and in many Congregations see nothing that your highnesse can take knowledge of but onely ignorance disobedience and rebellion The fearefull daunger of whose desperate estate is principally occasioned by the want of Pastors able to teach them to vnderstand that peace in whome the lawe and the Prophets is fulfilled and then from the loue of those vngodly guides which taketh vp the place bequeathed to better men let your diuine and heauenly soule as

MAY it please your Maiestie when I consider my owne vnworthines I checke my selfe for my presumption in that I haue aduentured to write vnto a Prince of so great power and wisedom as is your kingly selfe but when I do remember that your Highnes desireth to be approued a good poore mans King then in the hope of your gratious acceptance I not repent the little labour that I haue bestowed in which the clearenes of my conscience beares me vp and makes me hope that in my vpright course I shall not in the least sort displease the mightines of your great maiestie I haue like a Soldier hent my selfe against your publike enemies and the foes of Christ in the iustice of which course my resolution hath resolued in life and death to doe your Highnes faithfull and obedient seruice your poorest subict my renowned Soueraign humbly entreateth that you would be pleased gratiousely for to accept this his trifeling gift and with your mercies eye to view the lines vnto your princelie selfe directed and if they shall procure your content your seruant then receiues the fulnes of his ioy and gaines vnto himselfe his most desired recompence with all submission he referreth himselfe and this his worke to be censured by your Maiestie vnto whome he wisheth Salomons wisedome Dauids heart and Ioshuas courage with al the best coÌ„mended vertues which did attend on them that Englands king may be a mirror to the world and that the nations of the earth may wonder at the long continuance of your most happy and princely gouernment Your Maiesties poorest Subiect ROBERT PRICKET A SOVLDIERS Resolution MOst mightie Prince the Angelicall graces wherewith your kingly spirit is indued the diuine excellencie of whose vertues worthinesse your royal hand hath in heauenly lines vnto the worlde commended as an apparant testimonie of your sound belief arightly grounded vpon the corner stone Christ Iesus by the grace of whose asistance your sacred Maiestie is made to be the worlds chiefe Christian king so that in all the kingdomes of the earth that doth homage to the name of Christ there is not any Prince of so absolute a power being arightly incorporated in the proper strength of his owne inheritance that can coÌ„pare with the greatnes of your Magnificence nor is their any king vnder the heauens great Canopie that standeth like your royall selfe so clearly sequestred from the Romane Antichristian leprosie the demonstration of which apparant truth doeth vndoubtedly prognosticate that God hath raisde your highnesse vp vnto the throne of royall dignitie that by the happines of your godly gouernment you may encrease beautifie the glorious kindgom of his blessed Son And that your Maiestie like a most valiant victorious and triumphant captaine vnder the banner of the worlds Redeemer Christ should with maiesticke power confront and vnderneath your princely foote treade downe all oppositions that by secret plots of diuelish treacherie or publike force of hostile armes dares but presume by their tirannicall aspiring menaces to threaten the ruine of the house of God And as the Church in Englande hath for these last precedent foure and fortie yeares beene ruled by a godly religious maiden Queene renownde Elizabeth of famous memorie vnto the glorie of whose vertuous gouernment may with a Christian consideration be ascribed the long-agoe prophetical wonder seene in heauen Of a woman cloathed with the Sunne in whome the Church was figured compassed about with the illustrate and shining beames of the Gospell of Iesus Christ. And vnderneath her feet the wauering and vnconstant Moone was put For by her meanes from forth the Church was cast the vaine inconstant mutabilities of Romes inuented straunge traditions And vppon her head a crowne of twelue starres stoode which did foreshew as was by her made manifest that from the doctrine of the twelue Apostles should deriued be the forme and order of her gouernment the brightnesse of whose illuminating light shoulde with an vncontrolled power from forth her kingdome driue the loathsome darknesse of that soules poysoning contagious smoke which flies from forth that hell-borne pit the gulfe of Antichrist And in despite of that great red Dragon hauing seuen heades and ten hornes seuen crownes vpon his heades By which is mentioned the diuel the Pope Spaine Monkes Friers Iesuites and Seminaries with the rabblement of that Antichristian power burning with furie agaynst the Spouse of Christ hauing made themselues red with the effusion of those streames of bloud which their cruelties caused to gush forth from the innocent bodies of thousaÌ„d martired Saints yet maugre the force of al their hellish tyrannising rage diuine Eliza during all the time of her most happy blessed peaceful and victorious raigne trauelled in the desire of her religious care to be a gratious mother and a tender nurse vnto the children of the Church of God and in the continuance of her now out dated and yet datelesse time her subiects being fed with the Nectar and Ambrosia of a heauenly diet by the ministry of that euer-enduring truth contained in the canonicall Scriptures of the olde and new testament many thousandes were begoten vnto Christ and taught arightly how to ground their faith vpoÌ„ the al and onely sufficient sure foundation of their redeemers loue That plain and simple people in her land could with diuine and godly wisedome maintaine the argument of their faithes beliefe against the cunning coosening sophistry of a pernicious Popish Priest But now that our late mayden Queene whose sanctified soule vnto her God brought forth so many Saints hath left this earth to bee a Saint in heauen whither should my eyes returne themselues with ioy vnlesse to looke vpon your Maiestie And in this thought my soule is rauished with a priuate meditation my Countrey England hath stoode as a glorious Cittie built vppon a Mountaines toppe whose beautie wealth strength and gouernment hath lifted vp it selfe with admiration to the world the temple of the house of God was from mount Sion brought and placed in the midst of Englandes territories And since this Island first conuerted was from Pagan Athisme it neuer stoode so dignified by the true profession of a sound religion as now it did by the instrumentall

swiftly flie as did the Princes of Salomon in their Chariots and them remouing commaund that in their place be set the siluer-sounding voyce of godly reuerend learned wise and preaching Ministers who by the power of their ministerie may cause the true vnderstanding of the peace of Iesus Christ to shew it selfe vnto the ignorant people of your land and that the onely light procuring beames of the most glorious Gospell may with a sweete reflexion beautifully shine and goldlike richly gilde all your poore and desolate darke and desart townes and villages that thereby all your English people may with ioy behold the beautie of Zion and glorie of Ierusalem shining in the Church This defect in Englands ministrie hath long go beene seene but not amended and our late godly Queene was in her time a straunger vnto this corruption that which in the Church did chiefly holde the too long continuance of some things amisse was the worde Improprio from whence Impropriations were deriued which were they backe returnd vnto their proper forme your Maiesty should quickely see a glorious Ministrie and till in this poynt reformation bee that men of godly knowledge and honest life may go before the flocke vnto their charge committed and by example teach the true performance of a Christian doctrine your Englands people will neglect the duties due vnto their faythe 's profession For though I know good workes can claime no merit yet as faith onely doth iustifie vs before the God of heauen so good works should serue to iustifie the soundnesse of our faith on earth agaynst all tongues that would desire to frame obiections against the puritie thereof And vndoubtedly most mightie Soueraigne in your Englande there is nothing of more strength that giues a powerfull libertie vnto the exercises of sin then the vilde example of vngodly Ministers Begin therefore most mighty Prince at the first with them and purge the Sanctuarie let it please your highnes not to suffer prophane and irreligious men in the place of Ministers to haue to deale with the administration of diuine and holy things nor once with their vncleane handes to touch the seales and Sacraments of our saluation For indeed they are no other then wormeaten trees clouds without raine dumbe dogges foxes wolues deceiuers destroiers which haue thrust theÌ„selues into the church by some vnlawfull means their owne consciences can beare them witnes that in them their resteth no sufficient power to teach the church the way vnto the bridegromes loue for they rather make deuorcement betwixt the bridegroome his spouse they haue no right no vnderstanding no knowledge nor wisdoms skil to marry them togither in the vnitie of peace themselues are of all others merely strangers thereunto they are in deed the vngodly number of those intrusiue flocks which proudly and vniustly haue made themselues to seeme as if they were the brides companions but did the Church arightly know them as they are she would not then of theÌ„ enquire the way which leads vnto the place where her souls beloued feedeth nor would she endure any longer to be led by their deceiuing dissembling and destroying painted ignorance she would not assuredly be as one that turnes her selfe aside vnto the wickednes of their vngodly coÌ„pany But whither am I led with such like words as these to speake against their grosse impieties Strange thing it is that such should be the watchmeÌ„ in the house of God that better knoweth what an Alehouse meaneth and more delighteth to watch whole nights at dice and cardes then to spend one houre in the studie of diuine and heauenly things a paire of true ruÌ„ning bowles are more esteemd with them then all those truth teaching bookes which should be the weapons for men of their profession Come honest neighbors and my good friends in such like wordes consisteth all the smoothnesse of their eloquence Let vs in a merry humor go drinke halfe a doozen pots of Beare this is the pith of their perswasion at the signe of the Cocke or some other place directly knowne vnto them There is say they as good heart-warming liquor as a man would desire to drinke and in this is comprehended the whole argument of their diuinitie Whereupon being once at their place appointed togither met they set them downe and fall to reasoning and all their bare-barly proofs being brought in pots they vse of them so many that at last growing all togither reasonlesse they are plainly ouerthrowne in the dust by the force of their owne argument in as modest order as I can most mightie soueraigne I haue described the manner of their immodest brutishnesse I will forbeare to speake of worse vncleannesse done by many of them But it would make a Christian heart to rend it selfe with griefe in the consideration of that iniurious wrong which is done by them vnto the church of god but now in the loue your Maiestie beareth vnto Iesus Christ let theÌ„ all be turned out that they may learne to vse their seuerall occupations find some means to liue without feeding vpon the soules of men For my owne part mighty soueraigne I affect not Browne Barrow Penry nor the schismes by them inuented I am a Protestant pro Deostans and do in my heart accord vnto your Englands gouernment by our late godly Queene established and doe account that the reuerend Bishops in your land are worthy instruments for the glorie of God and benefite of his Church so farre forth as they will with a religious care striue in their places to beautifie the Spouse of Christ by a conscionable and religious gouernment to which ende they are vndoubtedly ordained and there authorities approued lawfull for the Apostle Peter which commandeth that men of their calling should not rule as Lords ouer Gods heritage doeth not say neyther shall you accept of any such titles nor indure to be called Lordes ouer the flocke of Christ no though the Church of God shal in the loue and reuerence that they beare vnto you for their masters sake cal you their Lords their gouernors and teachers in diuine and heauenly things Surely out of the Apostle Peters words to me appeareth no such kinde of doctrine For I haue reason to resolue that the Apostle could not teach it to be a thing vnlawfull for himselfe or any other of the apostles or minister after theÌ„ to receiue liuing or honor at their handes vnto whom they should administer in the Lord. For the Apostle Paule in his Epistle to the Corint and 9. chapter doth plainly approue the lawfulnes thereof And howsoeuer he did forbeare to exercise his power for the good of the Church then being in her infant age yet notwithstanding it appeareth euidently that hee left that libertie of power to bee vsed in the Church And therefore if the Bishoppes since the time of the Apostles haue by their lawfull libertie of power wherof Paul speaketh receiued as giuen vnto them by the
