And where M. Doctor saith / that that which is spoken of the Queens majesties chapel / is worthy rather to be punished then confuted: if so be that these be abuses / the example of them in her majesties chapel / can not be but most dangerous / which with all humble submission and reverence / I beseech her majesty duly to consider.
And where M. Doctor sayth / that that whych is spoken of the Queenes maiestyes chappell / is worthy rather to be punyshed then confuted: if so be that these be abuses / the example of them in her maiesties chappell / can not be but most daungerous / whych wyth all humble submission and reuerence / I beseeche her maiesty duely to consider.
And as for the reasons which M. doctor bringeth to establish them in the 225. page / as that they are necessary (which he doth barely say) and that s. Aug. alloweth of a Dean / and that the authors of the Admonition are instruments of those which desire the spoil of them / and that a man may as well speak against universities & colleges / as against them / I have answered before / saving that it is to be feared / that colleges in universities (if M. doctor may work y• which he goeth about) will shortly be in little better case / then those cathedral churches / which not only by his own example / but with might and main / and all endeavour possible / goeth about to fill and fraught them with Non residences, and such as have charges of churches in other places: which do no good in the university / and partly are such as can do none / only are pernicious examples of riotous feasting and making great cheer / with the prays and spoils which they bring out of the country to the great hurt of the university presently / and utter ruin of it hereafter / onles speedy remedy be therefore provided. And where he saith it is not material / although these deans / vicedeanes / canons / petty canons / prebendaries. &c. come from the pope / it is as if he should say / that it skilleth not although they come out of the bottomless pit. For whatsoever cometh from the Pope which is Antichrist / cometh first from the devil: and where he addeth this condition (if it be good. &c.) in deed if of the eggs of a cockatrice can be made wholesome meat to feed with / or of a spiders web any cloth to cover with all / then also may the things that come from the Pope and the Devil / be good / profitable / and necessary unto the church. And where he sayeth that collegiate churches are of great auncientie / he proveth not the auncientie of the cathedral churches / onles he prove that cathedral and collegiate be all one. But I will not stick with him for so small a matter / & if our controversy were of the names of these churches
