Cobh. Both Christ and his Apostles were accused of sedition making, yet were they most peaceable men. Both Daniel and Christ prophesy that such a troublous time shall come as hath not been been before: this is partly fulfilled in your days and doings; for many have you slain, and more will you slay if God fulfil not his promise: if he shorten not your days scarcely should any flesh be saved. Moreover, though Priests and Deacons, for preaching Gods word, and ministering the Sacraments, with provision for the poor, be grounded in Gods law, yet your other Sects have no ground thereof. Then a Doctor of the law plucked out of his bosom a Writing, wherein was four Articles, and examined him •her•on: the first was touching the Sacrament of the Altar, which he answered as before: the second, whether a man is bound to confess himself to a Priest; he answered, a diseased or wounded man had need have a true and wise Chirurgeon, knowing the ground and danger of the same: therefore it is most necessary to be first shriven to God, which only knoweth our diseases, and can help us. The laws of God are to be required of a Priest which is godly learned: but if he be an idiot or vicious, that is my Curate, I ought rather to fly from him then seek him, for I might sooner get ill then good of him. The third was touching the authority of the Pope: he answered, he that most followed Peter is next him in succession; but your Lordly order esteemeth little the lowly behaviour of Peter, nor the humble manners of them that succeeded him until Sylvester, which for the most part were Martyrs: you let their good conditions go, and hurt not your self therewith. •ll know it, and yet you boast of Peter. Then said one of the Doctors, then what say you of the Pope? He answered, he and you together make an Antichrist: he is the great head, you Bishops, Priests, Prelates, and Monks are the body, and the begging Friars the tail, for they cover the filthiness of you both with their subtle sophistry. Never will I obey until I se you with Peter follow Christ in conversation. The fourth was touching Pilgrimage to Images: he answered, I owe them no service by the commandment of GOD, therefore I will not seek them for your covetousness.
