deuill should ride vpon her ouer craggie mountaines and stony places vnles she would fullfill his fleshly lust This Prieste for that he had fallen out wyth her husband durst not come to his house nor his wife to the priestes house The prieste wantinge no crafte and subteltie when the woman came to confession hee willed her to repaire home and to faine herselfe very sicke and like to die and to crie for master Parson to heare her confe●sion againe for that shee had concealed some notorious crime from him As soone as shée came home she sounded as thoughe the spirite was readie to take her vitimum vale from the bodie Why howe now frowe quoth her husbande what ayleth you to be sicke and so sicke that you are like to die Oh husbande sende spéedelye for master Parson or els I muste saye adue to you all adue to thys worlde before I haue confessed that to master parson which troubleth my conscience and from whome I haue concealed in my confession a thing which I could haue vttered to day Ah my bodye is féeble my harte panteth full sore my strength fayleth me my féete beginne to ware colde my breath is shorte I am readie to geue vp the ghost Oh call for master parson that I may bée shriuen againe The prieste was sente for and as hee entered the chamber hee sprinckled the same with water and then he sayd so his patient how do you neighbour I am come hether to geue you ghostly comfort and to heare your confession and to minister the Sacramente of holye vnction He caused all thē that were in the chamber to depart thence vntill he had played hys feates of actiuitie wyth her but the morning following she being recouered was very merrye and ●ocand The womans husband being a wise man suspected some secrete frendship to haue béene betwéene hys wife and the parson in so much that euer afterwardes hee inuited the parson to dinner and supper twice or thrice a wéeke Vppon a tune he fayned that he would make a iourney to Inghelstatte and remayned at home vnknown to his wife in a counting house of his and then the good wife not mistrustinge any thing made the priest of the parish to bée called and ordained notable good chéere for his entertainement at night as they were merrie had made good chéere her husband tooke them both naked made the priest lighter by both hys stones Oh villaine quoth the husband to the priest hast thou thus vsed me for the great curtesie that I haue shewed thée therfore I am reuenged on thée holde take thy stones and kepe them in thy purse at all times when thou sayest Masse nowe I am out of doubt thou wilte neuer make more kuckoldes Then hée put his wife in a close chamber and gaue her breade and water once a daye for the space of one whole yeare There was an other priest but here in England by reporte in Quene Maries time that heard the confession of a gentlewoman how she vsed the carnall company of a younge gentleman of that parish the priest beeing of a leacherous disposition practised by all meanes possible to obtaine her fauoure and by amorous talke he assayed her many wayes but all in vaine at last there came a maide a seruaunte of that gentlewoman 's to him to shrift and when she had made an ende of her confession hee asked her where she was borne she told him in such a shiere naming Yorkeshire hee asked in what place there and shee told him the place he asked the names of her parentes and shee tolde hym I am glad quoth he that I haue founde a cousin here I came from thence where you were borne and your mother was my aunte You knowe I am parson of this parishe quoth hee and haue some substaunce I haue no kinsfolke here in this parishe besides you good cousin and therfore come often and continualiye to my house for I will make you executrix of all that enioye The poore maide was glad to finde such a cousin but when she came vnto his house hee had boughte a paire of perfumed gloues to be deliuered by his cousin to her mistresse whiche being deliuered her mistresse on a sodaine was wrapte in loue with the prieste so that shée from that tyme forewardes feasted the priest full o●ten and tooke hym for her seconde paramour Thus the Priest by his knauish conceite got hys pleasure on the gentlewoman Popishe priestes wante not their traines of subtelties to bring that to passe which they desire as by manye histories of their liues it plainely appeareth If I shoulde put in writing the abuses of those priests whome I haue partlye knowne and of whome I haue partlye heard then thys booke shoulde grow to a greate volume but the christian reader maye by the historie of the vngodly shauelinges here recited take heede of their hipocrisie and counte them as false Prophetes and wolfes in shepes clothing Their works do testifie that among them there is no God but the Pope and they saye with the fleshly Epicure Geue me that is here presente and let God alone with that is to come If they were true Christians and had regard to their soules health would learne by the sermons of faythfull preachers and vnderstande by the holye scriptures that besides this life besides this world this kingdome these thinges here present there be other things and much greater thinges an other life an other kingdome an other worlde to be looked for doubtlesse they would neuer dissemble with the people as they do What do they thinke that God knoweth not their secrete sodomie their pollution and carnall copulation Will they be named holy virgins sacred priestes and chaste sacrificers because many of them follow the councell of S. Benet Si non caste tamen caute If thou canst not liue chastlie walke closelie They passe not to displease God in his heauenly sight but the displeasure of man they dread and therfore they thinke themselues as happie as any Saintes if the people knowe not of their wickednes Here in this world they hunte for praise vaineglorie opinion of holines and for humble reuerence they will be estéemed before al others and saluted as holy fathers and chaplaines to our Ladie O Englishe men beware of these false Prophetes and you that are infected with the poyson of Popish superstition aske councell in tyme vse some good remedie to purge the infection out of your soule apply the salue of the woorde of God vnto your griefe and you shal be holpen and made whole safe and sound againe repente repente flie from papistrie while it is time ere it be to late for our life is very shorte To write farther of the incontinencye of the Popes holye priestes I thincke it not néedefull for that the whole world knoweth that popish priestes for the moste parte yea in a manner all haue euer liued and doe liue incontinentlye for all their bragges of chastitie they
