If the Pope may maintain so many thousand adulterers, harlots, Jews, and enemies of the cross of Christ, why may not Queen Elizabeth receive a few ⟨p. 67⟩afflicted members of Christ, which are compelled to carry his cross? If it be no fault in him to receive so many servants of the Devil, why may not Queen Elizabeth receive a few servants of God? Whom when he thought good to bring safely by the dangers of the sea, and to set in at our havens, should we cruelly have driven them back again, or drown them, or hang them, or starve them? Would the Vicar of Christ give this counsel? or, if a King receive such, & give them succour, must he therefore be deprived? they are our brethren, they live not idly. If they have houses of us, they pay rent for them. They hold not our grounds, but by making due recompense. They beg not in our streets, nor crave any thing at our hands, but to breath our air, and to see our Sun. They labour truly, they live sparefully. They are good examples of virtue, travel, faith and patience. The towns in which they abide are happy, for God doth follow them with his blessings.
