T. C. Page. 53. Lin. 5.

And let it be obserued that throughout the realme there are none that make such clamours, and outcries, and complaints for these ceremonies, as they and those, that they suborne. They pretende I confe〈1 line〉〈1 line〉se, the Queenes maiestres Imunctions, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vnto them, but who is so blinde as seeth not that they haue another meaning. For I appeale vnto the consciences of all that knowe them, whether they do it for any obedience towards hi〈1 line〉〈1 line〉 maiestie, whose death should be a thousand times better newes vnto them, than hir graces mariage.

Io. Whitgifte.

The more is the pittie, that they should haue suche i〈1 line〉〈1 line〉st cause of clamoring, and that those which should teach them obedience to God and their Prince, be examples to the contrary. A subtill and craftie Papist wil be glad of any cause of quarelling: the more circumspect therefore ought the minister to be, in taking héede lest he giue iust cause of the same. But there be honest, godly, and zelous men also that cannot abide s〈1 line〉〈1 line〉che disorder and contempt, whome peraduenture you would gladly straine with the note of Papistrie, as your manner is: and for my part I thinke it to be the part of all duti∣full subi〈1 line〉〈1 line〉cts to kéepe lawes and orders appoynted, and to sée other kéepe them also, if they be therevnto called.

Surely he that is a Papist indéede, cannot wish well to hir 〈◊〉〈◊〉, but if he com∣municate with vs in the sacraments, heare the word preached, and come to our Chur∣ches, I will thinke and hope the best of him. But if he refuse so to do (as there be di∣〈1 line〉〈1 line〉ers such) so long as he so continueth, I must count him an enemie to religion, to the

Churche, and to the Prince, be he Papist, Anabaptist, or whatsoeuer. For he that in hart and in déede misliketh the religiō, cannot like wel of such as mainteine the same.
