and deliuer frō all errours this kyngdome which was once a Receptacle of all vertue, Religiō, wisedome, and Iustice, disquieted now by the wicked practises of naugh∣ty packes: & woulde also vouchsafe to reclayme it to the Fayth and vniforme consent of most sacred Religiō, into the aūcient boundes of the Churche, & defend the same with the assistaūce of his holy Spirite, that whereas we are now disagreeyng in opinions, we may be conformed to∣gether at the length in vnitie of one Fayth, and one vni∣forme mynde of most vndoughted Religion, and may at∣tayne together that euerlastyng glory, to the vnspeakea∣ble ioy and Reioysing of all the holy Citizens in heauen. [At the Feast of Easter] Alleluya, Alleluya.
In recompence of this your solemne collect Right Reue∣rend Father? what remayneth at the length, but that we all and euery of vs doe with one mouth, one spirite, and one voyce sing as lowd as we can vnto you? Amen. which being but one word wanting onely to ye knitting vpp of the prayer, I doe not a little maruaile, why was forgotten of you, vnlesse perhappes because it was skarse a good Latyne word, and neuer foūd in the bookes of Cicero, therefore it was vnworthy to be inserted in this place as not meéte for your fine phrase of Ciceroes Eloquence. Neuerthelesse it is right well yet, that making intercession for vs poore outcast Englishmen, you skippe ouer all other pelting and petty mediatours and aduocates, and haue thought good to call vpon ye helpe of the most mightye & mercyfull Lord Iesus Christ, without calling for, or inuocating the helpe of any other Gods. Which deuise how well will agreé with the rest of your discourse, I can not well conceaue: for you seéme to pray one way, and to dispute an other way quite contrary: You doe pray as a Lutherane, but you dispute as a Papist. What a contra∣diction is this I pray you, where the Pyper playeth the horne∣pype, and you daunce the Antyck? For if this be true, as we are taught by your example, that we ought to fleé for succour to Christe onely as the most chiefe and highest Soueraigne: and in him onely & alone to repose all our whole shoote ancker of pray∣er & inuocation, without praying to all other perry Saincts, what neéde we then of any other Sollicitours, Patrones, and
