ANSWER. [ E]
It is needlesse to make many words, for if your heart and pen accord, testifie the same by taking the Oath of Allegiance, and by renouncing the pestilent opinion of Equiuocation. Page 579 therwise your Insinuations and Blandishments, are but Maskes [ A] and Tectures of latent perfidiousnesse: and they which are ac∣quainted with Romish guile, must still suspect that you play the Foxe.
Now concerning this precedent passage, let it bee obserued, how the Iesuit hath not answered, but declined his Maiesties Question. And we must hold him to stand mute, as one not da∣ring to put himselfe to his Countrey, lest he be found guiltie. For the question is, What ought the subiect to doe, in case a Pope de∣pose [ B] the King? The Iesuits answere is, I pray for peace, I exhort o∣thers, I would rather die, &c. Hansome complements, but no secu∣ritie. If his Holinesse send another wind, you which haue vowed strict obedience to the Pope, must turne your sailes, your Votes and Prayers must bound another way, you must exhort others to execute the Popes pleasure, and if they and you perish in the Popes quarrell, you die Martirs, and goe to heauen in a string.
