❧To heare of suche thynges ye be not wont

Nam horum contraria verissima sunt

AS verily as Adam created firste his God,

So verily he tasted not, the fruite that was forbod

As verily as Abell, dyd kil his brother Kayn

So verily the shippe made Noe, this is playne

As verily as Isaac, his father did begette

So verily the Sodomites remayne vnburned yet

As verily as the Isralites, the Egiptians dyd oppresse

So verily did Moyses gyue God the law doubtles

As verily as Sampson was, slayne, of the lion rampinge

So verily dyd Goliath distroye Dauid the Kynge

As verily as in Babilon the meates were eate of Bell

So verily the dragone of brasse deuoured Daniell

As verily as Christe dyd crucifye the Iewes

So verily the Apostles the Gospel dyd refuse

As verily as Simon Magus the Apostles dyd confute

So verily the Apostles dyd princes persecute

As verily as the deuel hath perfecte loue and hope

So verily goddes worde doeth constitute the pope

As verily as Isicles within be hote and holowe

So verily proude prelates our maister Christe do folowe

As verily as breade doeth make and bake the baker

So verily these thefes the priestes can make their maker

☞If Leighton wyll neades his maker make

That these are true he can not forsake

[Page]A Papiste he is and the popes owne knyght

That preacheth falshed in stead of ryght

He knoweth not howe to paye his dettes

But wyth catchinge his creditors in the Popes nettes

A thefe, a robber, by preachinge sedicion

Is better regarded then the Kinges commission

Amonge Papistes.

¶ Antigraphium

Heare of suche true thinges,

As ye haue ben wont

Nam ea audite verissima sunt

AS verely as Adam was create by God

So verely he tasted the fruite was forbode

As vere [...]y as Abel was killed of Cayn

So verely made Noy the ship, this is plaine

As verely as Isaac was of his father gotte

So verely was the Sodomites consumed by fire hot

As verely as the Egiptians God did opresse

So verely gaue God Moyses the lawe doubteles.

As verely as Sampson killed the lion rampinge,

So verely was Golias killed of dauid the Kinge

As verely as in Babilon the meates were not eatē of Bell

So verely the dragon of brasse deuowred not Daniel

As verely as Christe was crucified of the Iewes

So verely y• Apostles taught vs gods word & true newes

As verely as the deuel hath not perfecte loue and hope

So verely consente not I to the falsenes of the pope

As verely as the Isickelles with in be not hot and hollow

[Page]So verely meke prelattes oure master Christe do folowe

As verely as breade is made of the baker

So verely by gods worde we consecrate our maker

As verely as gods worde did tourne Moyses rod

So verely gods word consecrates the body of God

As verely saynt Paulle with me doth well accorde

Who makes no difference is giltie of ye body of our Lord.

☞Leiton can neuer of his owne pore his maker make

But only gods word no christian can this forsake

No papiste he is nor yet the popes knight

That preacheth the trueth and abhorreth the vnright

He willeth to paye his creditors his dettes

Desiringe God to kepe him frome the popes nettes

No thefe nor robber but voide of sedicion

A man well regardynge oure soueraignes commission

¶The writer.

☞And you that call you Gospellers that in Ire do swell

You are as fare frome the Gospell as heauen is from hell

Amende your liues and folowe charitie

Leaue your presumptuouse and folishe vanitye

The misteries of God ye knowe thys is playne

Ye cannot conceyue in your fantas [...]icall brayne

Commite your selfes to God, and the Kynge

And folowe holy churche to your endynge

For vnto these three I wyll sticke

And neuer regarde no flalse hereticke

But praye vnto God that I maye se hym burne

If he from heresy wyll not tourne

❀Of the Sacrament.

The breade▪ which I wyl gyue, so cleane▪ so pure

Christe sayeth is very fleshe stedfaste and suer

[Page]I thinke him a beast and a moste vile noddy

That wyl not beleue Christ that sayth it is hys body

I beleue it with stedfaste herte and mynde

As gods owne wordes doth me commaunde and bynde

So as I beleue he made althinges of nought

So I beleue it is the body yt on the crosse me boughte

And the verye bloude as scripture maketh mention

Was shed on the crosse for mankinde redemption.

FINIS.

¶Apologia Antipi,

❧To speake false latine, I perceyue ye be wont

By your writinge, ea audite verissima sunt.

RIght rougheli and rashli, and wel ouer sene

With ruggid reason, vnclerkly conueied

Ye cowcher of stones, reproued I wene

The proper antipus, that truly had saide

Without lyne or leuel, foundacion ye laide

Wherfore it apereth, your worke muste decaye

For thinges euill grounded, will moulder awaye.

☞To builde your baggage, on an other mans grounde

As it hath ben the costome, so wil ye stil vse

But the trade of your trechery, shall sone be confounde

Wher with ye were wont, the trueth to abuse

Your doctryne and order, are bothe but confuse

To maynteyn your errours, the scripturs ye frame

So that ye muste be ouerthrowe with the same.

[Page]

☞To comende your diligence more then your wyt

It is my parte, I can it not denaye

Your learning and connyng, I will not omyt

For thoughe it be not muche, it is not very gaye

Paraduenture ye will thinke, this is but homly play

So hastily your wit and learnyng to reproue

But ther be suche occasions, as me therto moue

☞How chaunced you to stomake at Antipus the littel

Sythen he taxed none, but such as papistes were

But it most nedes be so, a fooles brayne is shittil

And alwaies dothe showe, which way the hert doth bere

And euyn so did you nowe, without wisdom or feare

That ye haue ben and be? Right earnestly expresse

A papist most pestilent, no man will Iudge lesse.

❧And in your antigraphe, you shew your selfe full wise

Which ye wrote to antipus, whose contraries be iust

And yet, I thinke ye toke some other dawes deuise

As of some smoky Smyth, and other that ye truste

To the which antigraphe, an answere make I muste

Wherin I trust the lorde, wilbe my helpe and ayde

To proue you an heritique, I am nothing afrayde

❧In all your hole Antigraphe, ye vary nothing fro

The antipus: but the contrayes do declare

A boy of twelue yere olde, as well coulde haue done so

Wherfore ye showe your wyt, to be but weake and bare

To inter in correction, of thinges that perfect are

But in the latter lines, greate grieffe, ye seme to take

Because he sayd such theues, could not their maker make

☞Ye bryng a pece of scripture, your heresy to maintaine

That as gods worde in Egipt, made a serpent of the Rod

[Page]So goddes worde maketh God, ye haue a peuish brayne

Knowe ye not ye Romayne, that the very word is god?

Then howe can he make him selfe, thou heretical clodd [...]?

Art thou not ashamed, suche poison to spewe yet?

Christe is not made, nor create, but onely was beget.

❀I knowe full well they shifte, & what thou wylt obiect

I knowe well thou wilt saye, it is by concecration

For that is al the holde, of thy most cursed sect

And by that worde consecrate, came all the abhominacion

For as ye haue abused it ye made it execration

A worde I saye it is inuented but by man

Serch all the euangely and find it if ye can

❀As verily saint Paule with your sayinges doth accorde

As light doth with darcknes whiche easely maye be spied

For where he speaketh of differēce of the body of the Lorde

He meaneth not as you flesh flies do, and that shalbe tried

The christians the bodye, [...]o Christ the heade, he applied

Prouinge the pore his menbers as well as the riche to be

The whiche when ye regarde not no difference make ye

¶ As whē the congregatiō to the lordes supper shal come

To eate the breade worthely the Lordes death to betoken

They must accept al lyke and not some more then some

For all they be partakers of Christes body broken

This is the very meaning of that saint Paul hath spokē

Because this bread doth signifie ye lords dath in our p̄ [...]ēce

Betwen ye bread & other neades must we make a differēce

¶ To eate christes fleshe & eke to drynke hys bloud

Is so to dwel in Christ as he maye dwell in vs

Lo here ye maye se playne it is a spirituall foode

Beleue and thou hast eaten saynte Augustine sayde thus

[Page]Christe when he gaue the breade, wyth handes so glorious

Sayde when ye shall, do this do it remembringe me

He sayde not when ye do it, my body shal it be

¶Thys is my body sayde he, which for you shalbe geuē

What thinke ye, dyd he meane a body made of bread?

No, but it that was present and was betrayed that euen,

He sayde for them and many, sone after shoulde be dead

He created not an other, no such thinges shal ye reade

The death of that one body, for all men is sufficient

So wyth his holy memory, let al men be contente

¶He toke the cup and sayde, this is the testament newe

In my bloud. How thinke ye, made he his bloud of wine?

He gaue it for a witnesse, of his bloude shedynge true

Why should you any otherwise, his holy wordes define

Or as men nothinge spirituall to fleshelynes incline

And take his wordes grosly after their Iwishe wayes

As saint Iohn the euangeliste in the sixt Chapter sayes

¶But O thou grosse pharisey, for go thy fleshely mynde

Let scripture the Illuminate, thy Iudgment is but crasse

A man God made the, reasonable by nature in thy kynde

And y• by thyn vnthankefulnes wilt make thy self an asse

Treadinge within the trade, of the moste wicked Masse

Wherin thou kepest compasse, as a blind horse in the myl

God graunte the to se better, when it shalbe his wyll

FINIS.

NOwe where as ye stande in Leytons defence,

Papisticall actes, ye seme to commence

For standing by him stowtly as a chāpiō cheife

It is foly to axe you, and your felowe be a thefe

Ye haue vnder take he shall his dettes paye

But that shalbe the morowe after domes daye

[Page]Ye saye the kinges commission, full well he doeth regarde

Regarde ye it better boeth, or ye shall haue rewarde

With papistes.

Your other wordes also intituled the writer

A man maye sone perceyue sprange from some shepebiter

Ye cal men Gospellers, and saye they swel in Ire

But you be full of charitie, ye wishe them in the fire

Ye wyl teache men their duitie, to God and to the Kynge

Which knowe their duitie, better then you in that thyng

Ye wil folowe holy church, ye saye to your endynge

The holy church of Rome, no dought is your meaninge

Ye saye in your Antigraphe that you forsake the Pope

But no thanke to you, grauiercy gentyll Rope.

In your writing of ye sacramēt, ye playe sir hoddy doddy,

In vnderstanding the scriptures as crafty as a calfe

He that beleueth not as you, ye call him a vile noddy

But you proue more a dawe, thē I wold take ye by halfe,

I leaue ye as ye be, and make no more a do.

Nothinge haue you written, but ye be answered there to.

FINIS.

¶A Mason, a Smyth, and a Paynter fyne

Wyth a Mugge, and a Gray, and a Perkens grosse

Be fooes to Antipus, at whom thei repine,

And hym with great anger, thei turne and thei tosse.

As cruel as Iewes, that dyd Christ on the crosse,

To put hym to rebuke, [...]hei do what they may,

But they mysse of their purpose, and go the wrong way.

¶The Mason first at Babilon began,

Byldyng of the towre, that men cal Babel,

Though he be a Babilonite, Nemprothes owne man.

That nowe raineth in Rome, it is no great maruaile

Thubalkaim the first smyth, and grauer of metell,

[Page]For antiquitie and frendshyp, must nedes stande hym by

To forge him his toles, to buylde Idolatrie.

☞An other ther is, that hyght master Mugge

An ayder and adbettour, with all his hole power

As nymble in cariyng, as is my spaniell rugge,

He wyll catch a lye by the ende, & wythin halfe an hower

Bear it a myle of, for feare it shoulde be sower,

The Paynter shal go wyth hym, to painte ye matter faire

Whoso lacketh papistes, here he may haue a paire.

Then is there one Perkens, with a belly somwhat large

Of kin to Perken Warbeck, as by his name appereth

Which for his good conditions, maye rowe in the barge,

At good he stoppeth hys eares, but euyl he sone heareth,

And al such as are papistes, full earnestly he chereth,

And Gray that badgerd, maye not be lefte behynde

Nor their sword bearer of s. Mildredes who knoweth all their mind

In knauery.

In heresy

In baudry.

In popery.

[...] cetera.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
