And it was wont indeed to be the title of Luther that great instrument of God, they called him the trumpet of rebellion: and not a new thing therefore is it, that the Ministers of God that first preach the word of Reconciliation, and then seek to show people their danger, no marvel they be accounted the causers of their troubles, because they will not let people go on quietly in their ways, but in the Name of God oppose, and reprove them. But we know where our trouble lies, it lies in those that are most superstitious and idolatrous, they bring the sword: Do not attribute it to this and the other cause, it is the provocation of the most high God that brought these wars in upon us,: If therefore we be weary of war, let us be weary of our sins. I remember Polanus 1upon this text hath this Note, and indeed he hinted it unto me; saith he, The Jesuits they cry out of the Gospel in Hungary; a place which is near the Turks, and the Turks you know have often made incursions upon those Countries, and your Papists and Jesuits they cried out of your Evangelici, of your Gospellers, as if they were the cause of the Turks coming in amongst them. But the Lord knows where to lay the burden right.
