❧ CERTAIN Articles, collected and taken (as it is thought) by the Bishops out of a title book entitled an Admonition to the Parliament/ with an Answer to the same. Containing a confirmation of the said Book in short notes.  Esay. 5.20. 
Woe be unto them that speak good of evil/ and evil of good/ which put darkness for light/ and light for darkness/ that put bitter for sweet/ and sweet for sour.  

The printer to the Reader.  

This work is finished thanks be to God/  
And he only will keep us from the searchers rod.  
And though master Day and Toy watch & ward/  
We hope the living God is our safeguard.  
Let them seek/ look/ and we now what they can/  
It is but inventions/ and policies of man.  
But you will marvel where it was finished (ended/  
And you shall know (perchance) when domes day is.    

Imprinted we know where/ and when/  
judge you the place and you can.   
I T.I.S   

TO THE Prelacy.  

IF men be dumb/ sure stones shall speak/  
God will his truth prevail/  
Let men resist/ it forceth not/  
It stands when they shall quail.   

When it of men is most oppressed/  
Then God doth set in foot/  
You Prelates know how true this is/  
Think than what best may boot.   

You that can council other men/  
Yourselves be counseled/  
God will correct you know it well/  
where it is well deserved.   

Yield reason why (none good you have)  
God's church/ Gods order's lack?  
Not God the cause/ he them requires/  
Your Lordships keep them back.   

Think on the time reformed to be/  
Yourselves which chief aught/  
You may else kick/ you wots who saith/  
It's hard availing naught.   

Repent/ amend/ show forth your love/  
You which afflict your own/  
And we your best/ wholeantichrist  
May quite be overthrown.   

By help of God/ by help of Prince/  
Whom God long save and bless/  
With prosperous life/ and earnest zeal/  
At last heaven to possess.    

¶ A view of the Church/ that the Authors of the late published Admonition would have plauted within this realm of England/ containing such Positions as they hold against the state of the said Church/ as it is now.  
A Reprouse of this view/ made as it is thought/ by the Bysheps/ and a Confirmation of the book in short notes.  
WE are charged by the apostle to speak truth/ every one to his neighbour/ which precept I take to extend to the whole life of man/ as well in matters concerning the worship of God and his religion/ a in them that cencerne the common life 〈◊〉 use of man. And to be faulty in it/ as it is a thing worthy reprehension in all men/ so especially in the ministers of God/ and such as are/ or aught to be by their calling/ leaders and conductors of other. I speak not this to carp/ or maliciously to bite any man/ but to warn them brotherly of their fault/ that they may amend which have erred/ and committed a escape in this behalf. Some when they saw these Articles said in this wilt: As they are in all their doings shifters/ so have they in the Collection of these Articles/ showed themselves to be no less untrue dealers/ then their causers vain & nought: both for vouching things out of the Book/ which are not in the book/ and also in purting for the most true propositions as paradoxes.  
Fol. 3. li. 1. pa. 2. First they hold and affirm/ that wein England/ are not yet come to the outward face of a church agreeable to God's word.  
In this first Allegation there lacketh this word scarce/ which is in both copptes/ first and last/ wherein if they had meant plainly and truly to have dealt with the world/ they might have put it downs/ as it is in the book. Let then think of them as they list/ but to make a lie in the beginning/ is foul & shameful.  
2. lin. vlt. They will have the ministers to be called/ allowed/ and placed by the people.  
This Article is utterly falsthed. For it is in the Admonition/ the election was made by the Elders with the common consent of the whole church. And so if they condemn the making of ministers/ what do they else/ but open their mouth against God/ and against the truth. Act. 14.23.  
3 Fol. 4. li. 7. pa. 13. They will have none made minister/ unt the minister of some one certain parish.  
A perilous crroure. Look Paul ad Tit. 1.5. I think we have no Apostles made now a days/ but pastors only: but if you think the contrary/ I pray you show me/ whether such as you make/ be bound in conscience to go unto Turcia/ Barbaria and such like places or no: or why rather they should be bound to England/ more then to those places: and take hed● here o●a Pope's reason.  
4 lin. 9 They hold that a bishop at no hand/ hath authority to ordain ministers.  
Not/ not alone/ but as part of the consistory/ and eldership and member of the church/ as Act. 1. And a bishop as ours are/ that is Romish bishops/ creatures of the Canon law by no means.  
5. lin. 17. They say for a bishop to say to the minister/ Receive the holy ghost/ is blasphemous and ridiculous.  
Is this put down as an error? in deed it is erroneous if the holy ghost proceed from them: but the let them consider of Caluu:. Io. 20.22.  
6 lin. 28. They will have the ministers at their own pleasure to preach without licence.  
This is also falsified/ the book hath it/ if any be so well disposed to preach in their own charges/ they may not without my lords licence. A shameful corruption. Any reasonable man would have known by the second Article/ that no man can be a preacher at his own pleasure/ but by the admission of the congregation/ but as afore/ so say we again. A Romish bishop hath naught to do/ to give licence/ and his is as good to preach by/ as the Pope's calf was that Felton set up.  
7 lin. 13. Fol. 17. li. 6. pa. 1. They will have the ministers discerned from others by no kind of apparel/ and the apparel appointed/ they term antichristian/ & the apparel appointed by the Prince/ disobedience against the Prince.  
This also is falsified/ they speak of the simple kind of setting for the the sacraments of Christ/ and afterward in the purer churches/ & compare it with the pelf of beaurifying it (as they would have it seem) only found out and appointed by pope's from Pagans: The words are these/ they ministered the sacraments plainly/ we pompously/ with singing/ piping/ surplice/ and cope wearing/ so I find it in Fol. 4. pa. 2. lin. 15. Whether the appeared be Antichristian or no/ it is no time here to debate/ but let them show from whence they had it? and le● them not be ashamed to profess his name/ whose cognisance they wear. Either let them speak as they are appareled/ or let them apparel themselves as they speak. But I cry them mercy/ they do so now/ and never so plainly/ I am sure they have put forth here articles/ which they shall never be able to show any ground for/ unless they take it from the Pope. And this I say to all good Christians/ let them take heed that they have not the supremacy of the Pope maintained here/ whilst a few white coats stand for hundred pounds/ I say not thousands. For this view which they put forth/ drawing so many articles out of that small book/ absurd as they seem to put them forth/ containeth in it/ so many false articles clean against the truth and the book/ as are by them put down.  
8 Fo. 4. li. 1. pa. 2. They will have all archbishops/ bishop's/ archdeacon's/ chaunceilors/ and all other ecclesiastical officers together with their titles/ jurisdictions/ courts/ and livings clean taken away/ and with speed remoned.  
falsified in part. They have slily left out that/ that they could nor/ but be ashamed of/ if they had any shame/ as Lords grace/ justice of ●eace & Quorum/ which have no ground nor warrant in God's book. But I doubt not when they come to 〈◊〉 the book/ or put ●owne the confirmation of their 〈◊〉 to continued these absura●●c● we shall see good 〈◊〉.  
9 lin. 9 They will 〈◊〉 have the ministers 〈◊〉 (as they term i●) to any iourn●● of 〈…〉 ●●●ted by man/ but as ●he spirit moveth them/ so to make their prayers/ and there●● as they 〈◊〉 be un●●o n● pr●●●pt other of pray●●●/ so ●●●l they have the book of 〈…〉.  
Utterly 〈…〉. There is 〈…〉/●hut there s●●●ld be 〈…〉/ but that this of th●●rs aught nor 〈…〉. A 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 ●hey deny not. Nay we do use 〈◊〉 ●ure congrega●●●/ and the same that all re●●●●ed churches 〈◊〉 but their patched Por●●●● is 〈◊〉 to be allowed/ the causes ●an not be denied there are ●pan● vil●●h●ngs.  
10 Fo. 4. lin. 〈◊〉. They 〈◊〉 have 〈…〉▪ sons/ patronages/ ●pan●/ and ordaining o● the ministers to be r●●●ned.  
A fore matter & great error. It is to be thought that any reaso●●●● m●n would 〈◊〉 for ●●ese/ as though it were a● absu●●●e to say they aught to be taken away/ why not a Card●●ll at ●●●er●●burye/ as well as an ab●●●onage 〈…〉 place. As for the bishops making of ministers/ other wise then refore/ when they can 〈…〉/ we will yeede this is absurd.  
11 Fol. ●. li. 15.16.21.17. They will have no honour's read in the Church/ no● articles/ nor inlet: o●● set out nor used/ ●or in no wise Sacraments muustred in any house/ nor in no wise the word red/ but preached only.  
A hamous error. ●te predicate. Math. 28. go and preach. Et quo●●●●que con●●●●●s ali●● alium expeca●te. 1. Cor. 11. So often as ye come together/ tarry one for another. Private houses are not m●●e for sacraments to be ministered in/ when there is an open congregation. They have no cause to think of our most gracious Queen so wickedly/ as that they should be driven to maintain that absurb and disorderous order. Thanks be to God/ all church doors are open/ and god long preserve her majesty among us/ by whose intants they are open. Why should that be tolerated/ which is a confirming of their popish hoasling/ and the private midwives baptizing.  
12 They will not have the Epistle and Gospel read/ and whatsoever is said before/ they utterly mislike/ and call it a Pope's entrance.  
Where else had yet it? and such patching was never taken but fro Rome/ show authority if they can.  
13 pa. 2. li. 17.10. They cannot abide to have the Crede read at the Communion.  
Not/ not as a piece of your mass/ yet we use it in all our churches in every sermon/ it is not done for the contempt of the Crede I would ye knew it.  
14 Pa. 1. lin. 20. They will have the Communion received at the table sitting/ without further reverence/ kneeling they say/ is utterly unlawful.  
Christ used it sitting/ antichrist kneeling/ whether is better to have Moses or a Calf?  
15 lin. 14. They mislike of these words/ the body of our Lord jesus Christ. etc.  
Why content you not yourselves with Christ's words and the Apostles? Either foolish Paul and wise you/ or foolish you and wise the Apostles.  
16 lin. 15. They mislike of Gloria in excelsis.  
Not every thing that is good/ is to be patched into the Communion/ because that christians aught not to make quidlibet ex quolibet of a read a rams horn.  
17 lin. 12. They will have no other words/ nor circumstance made/ then christ used.  
17 lin. 12. falsified/ the words are/ we sinfully mixed with man's inventions. Speak truth if thou can/ and shame the devil.  
18 Fol. 6. pa. 1. lin. 12. They will have no Papist/ neither with his will/ nor constrained to receive the Communion.  
Ah Paul what meantest thou. Probet seipsum homo. 1. Cor. 11. Let a man examine himself. I tell you/ the sacraments are too much abused by men willingly. Add not more sins to 'cause the Lords wrath to be more hot against us.  
19 line. 16. They will have no Godfathers nor Godmothers.  
Utterly falsified.  
20 Fol. 6. lin. 6. pag. 1. They will have all ministers equal.  
Christ in deed erred in this/ therefore we recant/ inter vos autem non sic. It shall not be so among you. Luke. 22.  
21 lin. 10. They mislike all collectors for the poor.  
And would have Deacons placed/ whose office it is. Act. 6. Rom. 12.  
22 Fol. 8. in fine. They say that there may be yet a more perfect form & order of a church drawn/ and that this is but an entrance to a further matter/ promising that they will yet go further therein.  
falsified. Sed audin? verbum unum cave de pleniore Christo/ ne ad morbum hoc etiam. Yet see how these men are troubled/ even as legio was to hear of Christ's coming. It grieveth them to hear that Christ should be full amongst us/ and not by patches and pieces.  
Out of the second treatise called a view of popish abuses remaining.  
Note three Articles omitted.  
And why these more than the rest? if it be for that you are ashamed of your ungodly dealing/ with your fellow brethren/ whom you and the rest of the high Commissioners at Lambeth put from their livings and ministery for refusing to subscribe to your traditions it is well: if it be for that you see them so sufficiently confuted/ as you have nothing to reply/ you are to be borne withal in hope of amendment.  
1 Fol. 10. pag. 1. lin. 33. Reading of service or homilies in the Church they say/ is as evil as playing on a stage/ and worse too.  
falsified/ and yet mark I pray you their reason and comparison/ not for the thing itself/ but for the persons themselves. For the players can say their parts without book/ these for the most part can but read theirs/ and that scarce too.  
2 Fol. 12. pa. 2. lin. 10. Touching marriage/ they A mislike the wedding ring/ they are angry with B taking of it up/ and laying of it down. They will not have she Trinity named therein. They say we make the man to make an idol of his wife/ because he saith/ with this ring I the wed/ with my body I thee worship.  
A In deed they are pretty juggling casts/ taken out of the Pope's Mass book/ as the most part of all their trash. Rub. manu trahendo. Tit. Benedictio sponsi & sponse.  
B It is plain abusing of the name of God borrowed from thence too. You might have foun● better reason to have condemned this for a superstitious thing/ then a grey ammisse/ for you have these wicked words put to it. Et proficiat illi ad eternam salutem. And that it may profit him to eternal salvation. Ca Cretor. This were as good an occasion to cast it away/ as Ezechias had to break the serpent/ and for your pretty using of it/ let the Reader look upon the Rub. Tune aspergatur.  
3 lin. 3. Confirmation they mislike/ and call it superstitious/ popish/ and peevish.  
far over seen in so doing. It was a Sacrament/ and may be still if it please you. For you certify the child of God's grace.  
A 4 Fol. 13. pa. 1. lin. 1. Touching burial of the dead/ they will have no prescript service for it.  
B They will any man indis●erently to bury the dead/ and not to be tied to the minister.  
C They mislike of this prayer there used/ that we with this our brother. etc.  
D They will have no sermons at burials/ because they are put in the place of Trentals/ not so much E as lying of the corpse in the place of burial/ the fetching to the Church/ the meeting of the minister. etc. they cavil at.  
A What needeth it? why should the priest say, meeting the corpse/ even just at the church style (for so the Rubric saith/) I am the resurrection and the life. etc. to whom speaketh he? to the living? why then at the Church style/ rather then in any other place? why at that time more than any other/ if it be for the living? If it be for the dead/ O vile papists but thence it came/ look unto that stinking porteous. All that whole tract was spoken/ and is spoken in most places in the person of the dead. See the blindness and mischief of an adulterous nation. This for the church style. See those popish apes. when he cometh to the grave/ what then? forsooth this must be said or sung. Man that is borne of a woman. etc. O mourning joyful gospel spillers/ when we be at the graves side/ we be in the midst of life/ when w● be put in/ we be in death. And I beseech you/ when had you the prayer that followeth: where you show a patching of Antichristes' inventions with the word● of God. Beside the great and vile abusing of th● scripture/ in using that for a dead man/ which bless●● job spoke in anguish of his heart/ for the afflictions which he sustained/ whilst he was alive. To b● short/ if thou dost it for a piece of God's service/ she●● thy warrant/ especially seeing thou abusest the scripture to thy purpose. It is never read or found either in the old testament or the new/ that God either appointed/ or that there was used any service for/ 〈◊〉 at/ and in the burial of the dead.  
B why? Because it is a piece of charity/ which concerns every man/ and not any part of the ministry/ that it should be bound & appropriate to them. Therefore we say/ and that by the scripture/ that it belongeth to them as to every private man/ and not otherwise. For who played the priest/ when Abraham buried his wife/ and jacob his? what priest was it/ that took Stevens body/ and Ananias and Saphira/ and who preached at any of these burials?  
C If you look well upon your old porteous/ and confer it with yours now/ you can not well excuse it from being a prayer for the dead.  
D we make not that a reason/ but we show you how they came in/ and how they came to have that place. And if you be not minded to take away the folly and abuse/ yet I pray you take order for your ravens/ that will take no cracked French crowns for their Trental sermons/ seeing you will have it so.  
E To take his leave of the bells with three peals/ according to my Lord of Canterbury's last pervertisements.  
5 Fol. 13. pa. 2. lin. 1. They find fault with saying the Psalm/ I lifted up mine eyes. etc.  
Especially in summer for son burning/ and if she come late at night/ from being a moon calf/ for she must be whoded. And I beseech you why should the prayer the is for the delivery of the church/ or any member thereof from the tyranny of the enemy of God/ be used in a thanks giving of a woman after childbirth. There is not one word in it for a thanks giving/ but the whole Psalm runneth upon the miseries that the poor captives are in/ and yet they entitle their service a thanks giving/ & will needs have this Psalm used to that purpose. Now tell me/ if this be not abusing of scripture.  
6 lin. 4. They mislike that we pray in the Litany/ that all men may be saved.  
Because we know that Cain/ judas/ and all the inventors of this gear/ the Pope's are the children of perdition.  
7 lin. 5. They mislike that we pray to be delivered from thunderings and lightnings/ because when we so pray/ there is often times no danger near.  
Put in too/ from sparrewe blasting.  
8 Fol. 13. pa. 2. lin. 7. They find fault with singing of Benedictus/ Nunc dimittis/ Magnificat. etc. in the common prayer/ calling it/ the profaning of the scriptures.  
In deed we have a new Christ in some man's belly/ and some john Baptist to go before him/ and Simeons' good store/ that will gladly die so soon as he is borne/ but I think there be no pope jones.  
9 lin. 13. In all our order of service/ they say/ there is no edifying but confusion/ they say the interchangeable saying of Psalms/ is tossing of tennis balls.  
Experience of these. 14. years/ proveth what edifying hath come by it/ and the Psalms would not be handled in greasy alehouse chanters mouths.  
10 Fol. 14. pa. 11. lin. 18. The regiment of the Church/ they call Antichristian and devilish/ and say they may as safely subscribe to allow the dominion of the pope over us/ as to subscribe to it.  
No the Canon law is good scripture/ and the pope Antichrist/ a meet man to set an order in Christ's house. And why not antichristian? they say truly/ & they have great reason so to say/ for the you have no scripture to prove the contrary/ for you stand only upon the laws of man/ whom you have caused for your behoof to confirm the laws of Antichrist therein. But is it therefore not Antichristian/ because that civil laws of earthly princes'/ have confirmed the canon law/ & take it now as their own? As who shield say/ the translating of a law from one realm to an other/ and from one prince to another/ letteth or causeth that the law may not/ & is not rightly to be said to be his/ who first invented it? Because that princes have taken this into their laws/ that whosoever committeth wilful murder/ shall die the death/ is it ●●●fore God's law? Because the laws of the Greeks were translated into the Roman Empire/ therefore were they not the laws of the Grecians? because the a●●s of justinian be come now to be practised in France/ Germany & other places/ therefore are they not justinians laws? But be it the because Papitius hath gathered all the laws together/ the whole be called Ius Papirianum/ yet are the laws theirs/ & so shallbe called whose they were/ if in this it be so/ why should the Canon law loose his name/ to be called the Pope's law? because that princes have confirmed it? As who should say/ the changing of the name ●●tereth either the nature of the law/ or else of other thing whatsoever? It is not said or thought/ the because Adrianus or Bonif●cu●s/ or whosoever was called Pope of Rome/ therefore whatsoever law he ●●●●e was nought/ & to be rejected? but because he/ 〈◊〉 apope/ that is as antichrist made it/ having no ground in God's word/ but rather the contrary/ therefore it is said to be popish/ and therefore devilish/ wholename ●o ever it put upon it.  
But there is a further matter in it. How may any ●●●ce give one man authority to be bishop over a province or a diocese/ more than the Emperor may give it to any priest/ to be over all Chriscendome/ either by himself/ or by the content of other princes. For so some write that his supremacy came by the donation of Constantine and see then how far this differeth from Antichrist. From Antichrist I say/ in taking that/ which they know/ cannot be so given/ and they condemn the taking of it in the bishop of Rome/ for therefore they call him antichrist. They have said and we say/ that iure divino by the law of God/ he hath no more authority and higher place/ ●●en any other bishop/ & they say true. And because ●t taketh it upon him iure humand/ they call him ●●tichriste. It can not be then/ but that they she●ee ●●●selues herein to follow the trace of antichrist/ especially seeing they have it vire humano/ and that ●ure pontificio.  
11 pag. 2. clin. 14. They will have every minys●● to have full jurisdiction in his own parish.  
It were a tyranny if he had it alone/ I say in 〈◊〉 parish/ but forsooth not so in a diocese.  
12 lin. 28. They hold that the ministers at th●● day enter not in by christ/ but by a poppy she a●● unlawful vocation.  
Absurd/ for Antichrist is Christ/ and the Canon la● scripture. It will be hard for you to show the contrary  
13 lin. 28. They hold it is unlawful for one m●● to preach in another man's Church/ or any m●● to preach out of his own Church.  
Tanquam ex officio/ ut cordigeri & Iacobita● It is true he ought not as of his office and duty as the Cordigers and jacobites/ and when it may showed out of the scriptures/ we will say as you sa● 14 Fol. 18. pa. 1. lin. 13. They will have all cathedral churches pulled down who Deaneries a●● Prebendaries. etc./ clean taken away/ and call t●●● dens of leytering lubbers.  
A dangerous matter if men stood under t●● walls/ and seeing the statute of vagabonds why●● is so strait. And I pray you what are they el●●● but loitering lubbers. Show what profit co●meth by them to the Church of Christ/ and how a●● they occupied for the place of clerk/ which th● wrongfully keep.  
The state of the church at this day/ they call t●● reign of Antichrist.  
It is spoken of the romish jurisdiction befo●● mentioned. They have just cause to say so/ for wh●● is it else? No ground can be given out of god's wo●● for any of those positions which they put dow● here/ as reprehending and reproving the book. 〈◊〉 the adversaries of the book think to strive with weapons of antichrist against them/ we ha●● to behold the conflict with patience/ for we shall 〈◊〉 their fall to their shame and smart. If it wer● 〈◊〉 thing to be tolerated in the service of God/ and th●● ●●re is/ in the whole government of his house/ to ●●rowe advise of the ennenyes of God/ why was 〈◊〉 so precise with his people of Israel by Moses ●●s servant/ in appointing his service/ and every ●●●e pertaining to the priesthood and temple/ that he ●ould not have the lest rag that might be from the ●aganes his enemies? was it not because he would ●●t have that to be any means or occasion of fami●●ritye with them/ or any likeness/ whereby they ●yght be moved to follow them? Comunitie of mā●●rs/ and likeness of conversation in matters of re●●yō especially/ is a great cause of further acquaintance and familiarity. Therefore that they should not ●●eme to allow/ as from him and by his means ●●eyr manner of doings/ and that should not be done 〈◊〉 him/ that was done to strange God's/ he invented and appointed an order apart/ whereby he word 〈◊〉 worshipped. The same trace did Christ follow. ●e neither read nor find/ that he borrowed aught 〈◊〉 the Gentiles/ and that more is/ because no doubt 〈◊〉 would have us leave of all jewish ceremonies/ 〈◊〉 commended not his own/ and his father's for●er laws/ to his Apostles to be observed. And ●●y then should we take aught from his enemy/ ●●e child of perdition and sin/ the antichrist of ●ome/ who hath been and is/ the greatest waster of ●●s church. Nay/ they should rather take that way/ ●herby it might be hardly heard amongst our posterity/ what manner of beast that was. They should ●ake away both from the eyes and ears of all men (as well as from their hearts) all signs and to●●ens/ whereby that child of sin/ might come in●● remembrance. O that we must still hold up the ●●ead of that beast/ which is worthily by God's spi●●ie and judgement cast down into hell. O that brethren/ our brethren I say/ which have already been persecuted/ and are like again to be persecuted (if God do not in mercy look upon his poor afflicted Church) should stand is stoutly with their brethren/ in whom they can find no reproof/ but the hatred of antichrist/ in this overflowing of the blood o● our brethren in France/ which is yet green befo●● our eyes/ and yet lieth upon the face of the streater and fields of that cursed land/ should stand I sa● so stoutly for that/ wherefore all those their brethren have been so cruelly and against all godliness an● nature murdered and which all their other brothers else where/ have justly condemned and cast away and the godly here groan with the burden of it. Ma● it please thee O Lord/ to open their eyes/ that th●● seeking thy glory/ may see to the safety of this po●● Church/ yet standing as a little branch/ but looking daily by thy just judgement/ for our not upright walking to be spoiled of those blood thirsty and deceitful men. give them hearts O Lord/ that the● may foresee the day of their destruction/ nay our destruction/ Good Lord pluck of the veil of they understanding/ that they be not taken in their sin and we with them be cut of in thy displeasure Truth it is Lord/ that we have well deserved th● contrary/ and our sins we confess/ have been som●● occasion of the cutting of of our brethren/ yet for thy name sake be merciful unto us/ that the ennemy● and blood thirsty man may not triumph and say/ where is now their God. Faults escaped.  
Pre. lin. 4. not/ to much/ pag. 63. lin. 25. or/ to much/ pag. 41. lin. 29. after Ashwedensday service should follow good Friday's service. And in this other Treatise (in some books) pa. 13. lin. 14. read it is not said/ for it is said/ pag. 14. lin. 4. so is/ for so in/ the cause of which faults (good Christian reader) and some other things not published/ which we meant and mind to publish God willing/ is the importunate search of Day the Printer/ and Toy the Bokebinder/ assisted with a pursyvaunt/ and some other officers at the appointment of the bishops/ wherein they are very earnest of both sides/ the one sort belike/ hath Demetrius the silver Smiths disease/ they would be loath to loose their own profit/ for the churches profit/ and the other side would be loath we had such a mean to publish any thing against them or their answer.
