An admonition to Doctor Story beeing condemned of high Treason, sent to him before his death, but because it came to late to his hands: it is now put in print t [...] be a warning to all other papists where by they may repent and [...] mercy, cleue to his holy woord and liue ac [...] Doctrine of the same.

Math. 6.
Remember wel your crueltye, in killing of Gods Saints:
whose blood for vegean̄ce stil dooth cry, & god hearth their cōplaīte.
& you haue now your iust reward, which you haue wel deserued:
Because from God & princes lawes, so tratorously you swarued.
As I hear say you doo appele, vnto your God the Pope:
But his Pardons cannot preuaile, to saue you from the rope.
Nor yet his Masses many folde, they cannot you defend:
From Tiburn neither yet from hel, except you doo amend.
but whē these newes are brought to Rome, how yt you are attaīted
Of high treason and hangd therfore, no dout you shalbe Sainted.
These names & titles shall you haue, in Rome when you be dead:
The Pope no dout wil you inrole, vnder his bulles of lea [...]
A Doctor and a Confessor, thus shall you be extolds:
A Martyr and a Saint also, but yet a traitor bolds:
That day that you hanged shal be, it shall be holy day:
And so ordained by the Pope, that men to you may pray.
Thus shall you be canonized, as Saint as I haue said:
Then to be hangd for high treason, what néed you be afraid?
For you shall haue Trentalls great store, of Masses said & sung:
And all the belles that be in Roome, for your soule shal be rung.
If some good popish catholike, of your hart could take holde:
And bring it to the Pope in Rome, it should be shrinde in golde.
Because that in the Popes defence, you dyed so bolde and stout:
If that your soule doo go to bel, the Pope wil Masse it out.
The popes [...]ouē next house to hel.
And place you by his owne white side, where all ye saints doo dwel
In that heauen which him self hath made, not very far from hel.
Where you shall haue such plesāt ioyes, Masse & mattens by note
These are the Popes Saints.
Saint Pluto there sings Masse him self, in a red strye cote.
Saint Dunstone is one of his clarkes, Saint Hildebrand another
There shall you sée Saint Dominick, and S. Erancis his brother.
Saint Fryer Forest is the Préest, to hear the Saints confession:
Loke in Legend au [...]a and there shall you finde what S Remege tras.

You shall be made the chéefest Saint, and sit abooue [...]
Higher then euer Dunstone was, or any Préest of Ba
You shalbe iudge of all the Saints, and highest in C [...]ion:
Euen as you héer vpon Earth were, to maintain superstion.
But yet I dout you shall not shape, the Purgatory flame.
[...] Masses and Diriges doo not help, to saue you from the same,
[...]f whiche I knowe you shall lack none, for many wilbe fain:
[...]o haue a thousand for your sake, to fetch you out again.
[...]ut you shall Masses great store haue, in ye heauen where you go:
[...]hat wil keep you from Purgatory, if that the Pope say no.
[...]hus maister Doctor haue I tolde, your ioyes after this life:
[...]ecause with Gods woord & your Prince, you dye so far at strife.
[...]hese be the ioyes yt you shall haue, in ye Popes heauen to reign:
But in Gods heauen where true ioyes be, no traitor shall remain
No Papist nor Idolater, that doo refuse gods woord:
No worshipper of Images, shall stand before the Lord,
Nor yet Rebellious Massemonger, that dooth his Prince despise:
Against all Popish blood suckers, the Lord wil turn his eyes.
No witch nor wicked whoremōger, which your pope dooth defend
No Coniurer nor yet such like, to Gods heauen shall ascend.
No Buggerers orels yet haudes, in Gods heauē shal haue place:
No Briber nor Simoniack, nor Periurer past grace.
No supersticious Hereticks, nor mainteners of whores:
No Sectaries nor Sodomits, shall come within heauen doores.
All wilful virgins with their vowes, professing to liue chaste:
That godly mariage doo contemn, from Gods heauē shall be cast.
And such were all your popish Saints, that I before haue named:
with all these sinnes moste horible, the moste of thē were blamed
But in such filthy stincking Saints the Lord hath no delight:
And from the toyes celestiall, he wil excluds them quite.
But these Saints that in Gods heauen, shall haue their habitatiō:
Who by true faith in Christes blood, doo séek their whole saluation
And such as doo vnfainedly, beléeue Gods holy woord:
Whose life and good profession, together doo accord.
And liue like subiects to their prince, obeying godly lawes:
Not thus to hang like traitors stout, as doo you popish dawes.
Lo maister Doctor these be they, whom we good Saints doo call:
One of these Saints doo plese God more, thē doo ye popes saints all
And if you be vnhangd as yet, God graunt you may repent:
That you may be one of these Saints, of Christe omnipotent.
But if you be all redy hangd, I leaue you to your iudge:
And let the Papistꝭ by you take héed, how they doo spurn & grudge
Against God and their lawful Quéene, I would not wish thē run
It is ti [...].
Lest that they drink of that same cup, as you before haue doon.
God be thanked that our Quéene, begins to look about:
To draw the sword out of the shethe, to wéed such trators out.
Therfore you popish traitors all, forsake your Roomish sects:
Obey your Quéene like subiects true, or els beware your necks.
Take héed how you prouoke your Prince, at any time to wrath:
Pro. 20.
Whose angre is saith Salomon, the messanger of death.
The Kings displeasure is euen as, the roaring Lions voice:
Then to prouoke the Quéene to wrath, papists doo not reioice.
Abuse not the Quéenes lenity, that shée to you dooth showe:
What small vantage is got therby, some papists late doo knowe.
Consider what great benefits, we haue of her good grace,
[...] tiborne tippets.
Shée dooth maintain Gods holy woord, to shine in euery place.
How godly hath she ruled vs, by wise councels aduice:
Of such a precious iewel you, papists knowe not the price.
Shée séeketh to doo harme to none, but to doo all men good:
Yea, to her foes yt sought her death, she hath not sought their blood
Til now of late they did rebel, high treason to conspire:
Then was it time to cut them of, and hang them somewhat hier.
To end, God saue her maiestye, from boody papistꝭ vain:
And Lord send her olde Nestors yéeres, wt vs to liue and reigne.
FINIS.
