,protestant ,diuines vpon the place4 ,now the superstitious obseruation is either ,iudaicall or ,idolatricall2 it is apparant that ,paul meant the first hereof especially1 cqbecause the ,galathians

and had their end in him4cr ,are yee so foolish1 that hauing begun in the spirit1 yee would now be made perfit by the flesh8 ,as for ,idolatricall obseruing of times1 it is granted easily that the ,pagans 7in dedicating feasts vnto false gods1 and in making csdifferences of daies dismall and fortunate1 either by curious arts1 or by particular fansies1 or popular obseruations7 are worthily reputed superstitious4 ,and the ct,papists also 7solemnizing holie daies of the ,saints in their ,churches with idolatrous worshipping of the creatures1 and their ,images3 and out of their ,churches with ,epicurelike belly-cheere1 reuelling1 idlenesse7 turn againe to the beggarly rudiments and fashions of the world3 ,but the festiuals of ,england 7celebrated according to the doctrine and

,god the ,sonne1 in the preseruation of both to ,god the holy ,ghost4 ,so likewise that of redemption1 in election vnto ,god the ,father1 in the consummation vnto ,god the ,sonne1 in the application

then ,england1 the preseruation of the most illustrious princesse the ,lady ,elizabeth vnder the fiery triall of her vnkind sister ,queene ,marie was a noble act1 and the seminary of much happinesse vnto this kingdome for many yeares after1 and so much the more noble because ,philip ,king of ,spaine hath often confessed that he spared her life 7when wildy ,winchester and bloodie ,bonner had brought her into the snare7 not out of any pietie or pittie1 but onely out of policie4 ,her exaltation to the ,crowne was another noble act1 so noble that some do,popish ,prelats in their enuie burst

neuer a moneth1 neuer a weeke 7,i thinke ,i might say7 neuer a day1 neuer an houre1 but some mischiefe was intended either against her person or her people3 the resisting of the rebellion in the

noble act3 of ,squires treason1 a noble act4 ,her glorious victories against her fell and insolent enemies the ,spaniards in ,ireland1 in ,flanders1 in ,france1 in their owne dominions of ,portugal1
