עמוד xi - An admonition to the people of England: Wherein are answered, not onely the slaunderous vntruethes, reprochfully vttered by MARTIN the Libeller, but also many other Crimes by some of his broode, objected generally against all Bishops, and the chiefe of the Cleargie, purposely to deface and discredite the present state of the Church, [fan.
עמוד 141 - For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God hath 'chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty...
עמוד 82 - But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
עמוד ix - A contentious retaining of custom is a turbulent thing, as well as innovation." A good husband is ever pruning in his vineyard or his field ; not unseasonably, indeed, not unskilfully, but lightly ; he findeth ever somewhat to do. We have heard of no offers of the bishops of bills in parliament; which, no doubt, proceeding from them to whom it properly belongeth, would have every where received acceptation.
עמוד ix - Again, to my Lords the Bishops, I say, That it is hard for them to avoid blame — in the opinion of an indifferent person — in standing so precisely upon altering nothing. Leges, novis legibus non recreate, acescunt, " Laws not refreshed with new laws, wax sour.
עמוד 117 - ... contention in the Church, but that there were greater things far of more weight and importance, and indeed touching faith and religion, and therefore meet to be altered in a church rightly.
עמוד ix - Is there no means to train up and nurse ministers (for the yield of the universities will not serve, though they were never so well governed) — to train them, I say, not to preach (for that every man confidently adventureth to do), but to preach soundly, and handle the Scriptures with wisdom and judgment?
עמוד 77 - The bishops. . . prohibit marriage at certain times, most contrary to God's word : that is,' say they, ' a papistical practice, to fill the clergy's purse : yea it is a doctrine of Antichrist and of the Devil himself, prohibiting marriage even in laymen. '. . . This must needs be thought a captious and rigorous interpretation, to say that a stay of marriage for certain days and weeks is an unchristian forbidding of marriage. . . . For then it is a popish disorder also, and Antichristian corruption,...
עמוד 7 - 1 call to my remembrance the loathsome contempt, hatred, and 4 disdaine, that the most part of men in these dayes beare, and ' in the face of the worlde declare towarde the ministers of the ' Church of God, as well Bishops as other among vs here in ' Englande ; my heart cannot but greatly feare and tremble at the
עמוד 146 - ... tormentes of hell, and not his riches. By which wordes of Augustine, it may appeare, it is not riches, Landesand possessions, that GOD condemneth in his seruauntes, but the euill vse [of] them. Wherefore the Psai. 51- same Augustine sayeth, When the Lord had sayde, It is easier for a Camell to passe thorowe the eye of a needle, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of GOD : and the Apostles maruailing thereat, answered, Who then can bee saued ? What respected they I pray you ? surely,...
