Martin Marprelate Tracts (in chronological order).
(i) The Epistle.
Oh read over D. John Bridges, for it is a worthy worke: Or an
epitome of the fyrste Booke, of that right worshipfull volume, written
against the Puritanes, in the defence of the noble cleargie, by as wor-
shipfull a prieste, John Bridges, Presbyter, Priest or elder, doctor of
Divillitie, and Deane of Sarum. Wherein the arguments of the puritans
are wisely prevented, that when they come to answere M. Doctor,
they must needes say something that hath bene spoken. Compiled for
the behoofe and overthrow of the Parsons, Fyckers, and Currats, that
have lernt their Catechismes, and are past grace: By the reverend and
worthie Martin Marprelate gentleman, and dedicated to the Confoca-
tionhouse. The Epitome is not yet published, but it shall be when the
Bishops are at convenient leysure to view the same. In the meane time,
let them be content with this learned Epistle. Printed oversea, in
Europe, within two furlongs of a Bounsing Priest, at the cost and
charges of M Marprelate, gentleman. [Secretly printed at East Mole-

reverend and worthie Martin Marprelat gentleman, and dedicated by
a second Epistle to the Terrible Priests. In this Epitome, the foresaide
Fickers, &c. are very insufficiently furnished, with notable inabilitie of
most vincible reasons, to answere the cavill of the puritanes. And lest
M. Doctor should thinke that no man can write without sence but his
selve, the senceles titles of the several pages, and the handling of the
matter throughout the Epitome, shewe plainely, that beetleheaded
ignoraunce must not live and die with him alone. Printed on the other
hand of some of the Priests. [Secretly printed at Fawsley, by Walde-
grave, in Nov. 1588, and issued before 6 Dec. ] Rptd, John Petheram,
op. cit. , 1843.
(ii) The Minerall Conclusions (a broadside).
Certaine Minerall, and Metaphisicall Schoolpoints, to be defended by
the reverende Bishops, and the rest of my cleargie masters of the
Convocation house, against both the universities, and al the reformed
Churches in Christendome. Wherin is layd open, the very Quintessence
of al Catercorner divinities. And with all, to the preventing of the
Cavels of these wrangling Puritans, the persons by whom, and the
places where these misteries are so worthely maintayned, are for the most
part, plainly set downe to the view of all men, and that to the ternall
prayse of the most reverend Fathers. [Secretly printed by Waldegrave
at Coventry, and issued about 20 Feb. 1589. Copy at Lambeth. ]
(iv) Hay any worke for Cooper.
Hay any worke for Cooper: Or a briefe Pistle directed by waye of
an hublication to the reverende Byshopps, counselling them, if they
will needs be barrelled up, for feare of smelling in the nostrels of her
Majestie & the State, that they would use the advise of reverend
Martin, for the providing of their Cooper. Because the reverend T. C.
(by which misticall letters, is understood, eyther the bounsing Parson
of Eastmeane, or Tom Coakes his Chaplaine) hath shewed himself in
his late Admonition to the people of England to bee an unskilfull
and beceytfull tubtrimmer. Wherein worthy Martin quits himselfe
like a man I warrant yon, in the modest defence of his selfe and his
learned Pistles, and makes the Coopers hoopes to flye off, and the
Bishops Tubs to leake out of all crye. Penned and compiled by Martin
the Metropolitane. Printed in Europe, not farre from some of the
Bouncing Priestes. [Secretly printed by Waldegrave at Coventry, and
issued about 20 March 1589. ] Rptd, under the title : Reformation no
enemie. Or a true Discourse, betweene the Bishops and the Desirers
of Reformation: Wherein Is plainely laid open the present corrupt
government of our Church, and the desired forme of Government
plainely proved by the word of God. Printed in the yeare, 1641; John
Petheram, op. cit. , 1845.
(v) Theses Martinianae, or Martin Junior.
Theses Martinianae: That is, Certaine Demonstrative Conclusions,
sette downe and collected (as it should seeme) by that famous and
renowmed Clarke, the reverend Martin Marprelate the great: serving
as a manifest and sufficient confutation of al that ever the Colledge of
Catercaps with their whole band of Clergie-priests, have, or canbring
for the defence of their ambitious and Antichristian Prelacie. Pub-
lished and set foorth as an after-birth of the noble Gentleman himselfe,
by a prety stripling of his, Martin Junior, and dedicated by him to his
good neame and nuncka, Maister John Kankerbury: How the young-
