have heard my many Sermons on this Subject in London and else where but especially to my Book called TRUTH MAINTAINED made against Mr. Saltmarsh wherein I have heartily to place that first largely and to my power strongly vindicated Non licet Populo renuente Magistratu Reformationem moliri Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 54. This Parliament being very active in matters of Religion the Convocation younger Brother thereunto was little imployed and less regarded Our Author follows this Design of putting matters of Religion into the power of Parliaments though he hath chosen a very ill Medium to conclude the point This Parliament as active as he seems to make it troubled it self so little with matters of Religion that had it done lesse it had done just nothing All that it did was the Repealing of some Acts made in the time of Queen Mary and setling matters in the same State in which she found them at her first coming to the Crown The Common Prayer Book being reviewed and fitted to the use of the Church by some godly men appointed by the Queen alone receiv'd no other confirmation in this present Parliament than what it had before in the last years of King Edward The Supremacy was again restor'd as it had been formerly the Title of Supreme head which seem'd offensive unto many of both Religions being changed into that of Supreme Governor nothing in all this done de novo which could intitle this Parliament to such activity in matters of Religion but that our Author had a minde to undervalue the Convocation as being little imployed and lesse regarded I grant indeed that the Convocation of that year did only meet for forms sake without acting any thing c. Fuller Yea God hath done great things for us already whereof we rejoyce And although the Animadvector is pleased to say That if this Parliament had done lesse it had done just nothing these truly were MAGNALIA so farre as the word is applyable to humane performances Dr. Heylin In the mean time I would fain know our Authors Reason why speaking of the Convocation and the Parliament in the notion of Twins the Convocation must be made the younger Brother Assuredly there had been Convocations in the Church of England some hundreds of years before the name of Parliament had been ever heard of which he that lists to read the collection of Councels published by that learned and industrious Gentleman Sir Henry Spelman cannot but perceive Fuller I confesse Convocations in their general notion more ancient and regular and completely constituted than Parliaments Yet of these Twins I called the Convocation the younger Brother properly enough First Because modern Convocations as modelled since the submission of the Clergy to Henry the eighth are many years junior to Parliaments Secondly The Convocations alwaies began the day after the Parliament the Archbishops and Bishops alwaies attending the King the first day in Parliament Lastly The Parliament hath made a younger Brother of the Convocation And there being a priority in Power he in effect is the Heir and elder Brother who confineth the other to a poor pittance and small portion as our Age can well remember Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 71. This year the spire of Poles steeple covered with lead strangely fell on fire More modestly in this than when he formerly ascribes the burning of some great Abbeys to Lightning from Heaven And so this steeple was both reported and believed to be fired also it being an ordinary thing in our common Almanacks till these latter times to count the time among the other Epoches of Computation from the year that St. Paul-steeple was fired with Lightning But afterwards it was acknowledged as our Author truly notes to be done by the negligence of a Plummer carelesly leaving his Coles therein since which acknowledgement we finde no mention of this accident in our yearly Almanacks But whereas our Author finds no other Benefactors for the repairing of this great Ruine but the Queens bounty and the Clergies benevolence I must needs tell him that these were onely accessories to the principal charge The greatest part hereof or to say better the whole work was by the Queen imposed on the City of London it being affirmed by Iohn Stow that after this mischance the Queens Majesty directed her Letters to the Major willing him to take order for the speedy repairing of the same c. Fuller Non est tanti all this Note The Queen and Clergy are onely mentioned by way of eminence not exclusion of others The Animadvertor commonly layeth it to my charge that in my writing I am injurious to the Church and Clergy and now he is offended with me for giving them too much honour Sure I am Mr. Camden speaking of the repairing of S. Pauls on this occasion ascribes it to the great bounty of the Queen and money gathered of the Churchmen and others where his particular nomination onely of the Queen and Church-men making them paramount Benefactors Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 72. In the Convocation now sitting the nine and thirty Articles were composed agreeing for the main with those set forth in the Reign of King Edward the sixth though in some particulars allowing more liberty to dissenting judgements This is the active Convocation which before I spake of not setâ—ing matters of Religion in the same estate in which they were left by King Edward but altering some Articles expunging others adding some de novo and fitting the whole body of them unto edification Not leaving any liberty to dissenting judgements as our Author would have it but binding men unto the literal and Grammatical sense Fuller But the literal and Grammatical sense is worded in so favourable and receptive terms that two opposite parties both wellâ—skilled in Grammer have with great assurance of successe pleaded them in their defence In such Cases when the Controversie is admissive of a latitude as not necessary to salvation the pious and learned Penners of the Articles though they did not purposely use Cheverel expressions to afford shelter to equivocation yet prudently seeing that all things in the Articles were not of equall concernment and politickly â—ore-seeing men would be divided and differ in their judgements about them selected phrases Grammatically admissive of several senses all consistent with Salvation and would draw their words no closer for fear of strangling tender Consciences Hence is it that in the Question Whether Concupiscence be properly a sin in the Regenerate both parties appeal unto the Article equally perswaded there so finde favour in their several Opinions as indeed like a well drawn Picture it seemeth to Eye them both and yet frown on neither And one may read in the works of King Iames that on this account he highly commendeth the discretion and moderation of the Composers of our Articles Dr. Heylin They had not otherwise attained to the end they aimed at which was ad tollendam opinionum
Wife to King Henry the eighth being then actually in the bed of another Henry c. Fuller Margaret who shall be amended Dutchesse of Alanzon was Here I mean not just in this year but in this businesse afterwards designed by Wolsy for a Wife to King Henry Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 178. Yet had he the whole Revenues of York Archbishoprick worth then little lesse than four thousand pounds yearly besides a large Pension paid him out of the Bishoprick of Winchester And a large Pension it was indeed if it were a Pension which amounted to the whole Revenue c. Fuller For quietnesse sake he shall have the whole Bishoprick though I have read that after Wolsey fell in the Kings displeasure his revenue in Winchester which he kept in Commendam was reduced to a Pension Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 184. The Clergy of the Province of Canterbury alone bestowed on the King One hundred thousand pounds to be paid by equall portions in the same year say some in four years say others and that in my opinion with more probabily Here have we three Authors for one thing some others and our Author himself more knowing than all the rest in his own opinion But all out alike This great summe was not to be paid in one year nor in four years neither but to be paid by equall portions that is to say by twenty thousand pound per annum in the five years following c. Fuller Not reckoning the first summe which was paid down on the Nail that had just four years assigned them for the payment of the remainder Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 186. But he might have remembred which also produced the peerlesse Queen Elizabeth who perfected the Reformation Either our Author speaks not this for his own opinion as in that before or if he doe it is an opinion of his own in which he is not like to finde many followers The Puritan party whom he acts for in all this work will by no means grant it comparing that most excellent Lady in their frequent Pasquils to an idle Huswife who sweeps the middle of the house to make a shew but leaves all the dirt and rubbish behind the door The grand Composers of the Directory doe perswade themselves that if the first Reformers had been then alive they would have joyned with them in the work and laboured for a further Reformation And what else hath been clamoured for during all her Reign and the Ring leaders of the Faction endeavoured ever since her death but to carry on the work of Reformation from one step to another till they had brought it unto such a perfection as they vainly dreamt of and of which now we feel and see the most bitter consequences And as for the Prelatical party the high Royallists as our Author calls them they conceive the Reformation was not so perfected in the time of that prudent Queen but that there was somewhat left to doe for her two Successors that is to â—ay the altering of some Rubricks in the Book of common-Common-prayer the adding of some Collects at the end of the Letany the enlargement of the common Catechism a more exact translation of the Bible than had been before the setling of the Church upon the Canons of 603. and finally a stricter and more hopefull course for suppressing Popery and for the maintenance both of conformity and uniformity by the Canons of 640. Fuller I have the company of many honest and learned men going before with or after me in the same opinion Perfection in relation to the Church is two-fold Absolute or Exact Gradual or Comparative The former is onely Christs work to perform for whom alone the honor is reserved to present the Church without spot or wrinkle to his father The latter viz. Gradual and Comparative Perfection may be attributed to particular militant Churches Queen Elizabeth did gradually perfect the Reformation leaving it in a farre better condition than she found it in in the reign of King Edward the sixth Yet doe I not deny but that her Successors made commendable additions thereunto notwithstanding all whose endeavors I doubt not but still something did remain to be amended So that it will be perfectio perficienda as long as the Church is militant The Animadvertor must not strain up perfection when appliable to any Church on Earth too high to the Pin with which the spirits of just men are made perfect For as long as the Church hath a FORME on Earth it will be subject to deformities and consequently will need reformation Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 187. And now I cannot call King Henry a Batchelor because once married nor a married man because having no wife nor properly a Widower because his wife was not dead Our Author speaks this of Henry the eighth immediatly after his divorce but is much mistaken in the matter King Henry was so averse from living without a Wife that he thought it more agreeable to his constitution to have two Wives together than none at all To that end while the businesse of the Divorce remained undecided he was married privately to the Lady Anne Bullen on the 14 of November c. Fuller It will rectifie all if I change those words having no wife into as yet publiquely owning no wife which shall be done accordingly Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 208. Though many wilde and distempered Expressions be found therein yet they contain the Protestant Religion in Oare which since by Gods blessing is happily refined Our Author speaks this of a Paper containing many erronious Doctrines presented by the Prolocutor to the Convocation some few of which as being part of Wickliffs Gospel and chief ingredients in the Composition of the new Protestant Religion lately taken up I shall here subjoyn 1. That the Sacrament of the Altar is nothing else but a piece of bread or a little predie Round-Robin 2. That Priests have no more Authority to minister Sacraments than the Lay-men have 3. That all Ceremonies accusâ—omed in the Church which are not clearly expressed in Scripture must be taken away because they are Mens inventions 4. That the Church commonly so called is the old Synagogue and that the Church is the Congregation of good men onely 5. That God never gave grace nor knowledge of holy Scripture to any great Estate or rich man and that they in no wise follow the same 6. That all things ought to be common 7. That it is as lawfull to Christen a child in a Tub of water at home or in a Ditch by the way as in a Font-stone in the Church 8. That it is no sin or offence to eat White-meats Egges Butter Cheese or Flesh in Lent or other Fasting dayes commanded by the Church and received by consent of Christian people 9. That it is as lawfull to eat flesh on Good-Friday as upon Easter-day or other times in the year 10. That the
makes no Truce but a perfect peace never hereafter to let the least disgracefull drop of Inke to fall upon it Dr. Heylyn From the Arch-bishop of Canterbury I should proceed to Dr. Williams Archbishop of York but that I must first remove a Block which lyes in my Way Our Author having told us of the making and Printing the Directory is not content to let us see the cold entertainment which it found when it came abroad but lets us see it in such tearms as wee did not looke for Fuller This Block is no bigger then a Straw so that a flea may leap over it but the Animadvertor is pleased to see all things thorough a Magnifying-Glasse as will appear hereafter Dr. Heylyn Fol. 222. Such saith our Author was call it constancy or obstinacy love or doting of the generality of the Nation on the Common prayer that the Parliament found it fit yea necessary to back their former Ordinance with a second Assuredly the generality of the people of England is much beholding to our Author for making Question whether their adhering to the Liturgy then by Law established were not to be imputed rather to Obstinacy and Doting than to Love and Constancy Fuller It is no Question in my Iudgement or Conscience when it is out of all Question as either never started or soon decided therein but a Question it is in the practise of our distracted age which I behold like the Citty of Ephesus Some cryed one thing some another for the Assembly was confused Till this Tumult be appeased I desire to stand by in silence and give every Man his own Words Some call Constancy and Love which side I doe seem secretly to favour for giving it the upper hand and naming it in the first place Others call it Obstinacy and Doting as they are severally perswaded What is my Offence or where is the Block the Animadvertor complaineth of as if he needed to call for Leavers to remove it Dr. Heylyn The Liturgy had been lookt on as a great Blessing of God upon this Nation by the Generality of People for the space of fourscore years and upwards they found it established by the Law seal'd by the Bloud of those that made it confirm'd by many Godly and Religious Princes and had almost no other forme of making their addresses to Almighty God but what was taught them in the Book of Common Prayer And could any discreet man think or wise man hope that a Form of Prayer so universally receiv'd and so much esteem'd could be laid by without Reluctancy in those who had been so long accustomed to it or called Obstinacy or Doting in them if they did not presently submit to every New Nothing which in the Name of the then disputable Authority should be laid before them And though our Author doth professe that in the Agitating of this Controversie pro and Con he will reserve his private opinion to himselfe yet he discovers it too plainly in the present passage Quid verba audiam cum facta videam is a good rule here He must needs shew his private Opinion in this point say he what he can who makes a Question whether the Adhesion of the People generally to the publick Liturgy were built on Obstinacy and Doating or on Love and Constancy Fuller I concurre with the Animadvertor in his Encomiastick Expressions on the Common Prayer Otherwise nothing new occurs in this which was not in the former Paragraph And therefore the Blow being the same onely layed on with a little more eagernesse I conceive the same Guard will serve to defend it without any further repetition Dr. Heylyn But if it must be Obstinacy or Doating in the generality of the People to adhere so cordially to the Book of Common Prayer I marvell what it must be called in Stephen Marshall of Essex that great Bell-Weather for a time of the Presbyterians who having had a Chief hand in compiling the Directory did notwithstanding Marry his owne Daughter by the forme prescribed in the Common-Prayer-Book and â—aving so done paid down â—ive pounds immediately to the Church-Wardens of the Parish as the Fine or Forfeiture for using any other forme of Marriage then that of the Directory The like to which I have credibly been informed was done by Mr. Knightly of Fawsley on the like occasion and probably by many others of the same Straine also Fuller All this is Nothing to me who am not bound to answer for the Actions of other Men. I know there was in England a Juncture of Time which in this point may be compared to the Evening TWILIGHT so called from TWALIGHT or double Light the one of the Day not wholly gon down the other of the Candle but newly set up Such the Crepusculum vespertinum in our Land when the Day of the Liturgy yet dimly shined and the Candle of the Directory was also lighted a short Candle which presently burnt down to the Socket It is possible that in this Coincidence some in Majorem Cautelam twisted the Liturgy and Directory together as since some have joyned to both Marriage by a Iustice of Peace that so a Threefold Cable might not be broken Let them which best can given an account of their own Carriage herein Dr. Heylyn With the like Favour he beholds the two Universities as he doth the Liturgy and hard it is to say which he injureth most Fuller I injure neither of them But in this passage the Animadvertor onely whets his Sword and I scoure my Shield preparing against his deadly blow in the next Paragraph Dr. Heylyn And first beginning with Oxford he let us know that Fol. 231. Lately certain Delegates from the Univesity of Oxford pleaded their priviledges before the Committee of Parliament that they were onely visitable by the King and such who should be deputed by him But their Allegations were not of proof against the Paramount power of Parliament the rather because a passage in an Article at the rendition of Oxford was urged against them wherein they were subjected to such a Visitation Our Author here subjects the University of Oxford to the power of the Parliament and that not onely in regard of that Paramount power which he ascribes unto the Parliament that is to say the two Houses of Parliament for so we are to understand him above all Estates but also in regard of an Article concerning the surrendry of Oxford by which that University was subjected to such Visitations Fuller When I see a Corslet shot thorough with a Musket bullet and the Person wounded that wore it I may safely say that Corslet is not of proof against the Musket So when I behold the Pleadings of the Delegates neglected and null'd I may say that de Facto they were not of proof against Parliamentary power A passage possibly written by me such my affection to my Aunt Oxâ—ord with more griefe then it is read by the Animadvertor with anger but Truth is truth whether it be
ancient evidence we must take his word which whether those of Cambridge will depend upon they can best resolve For my part I forbear all intermedling in a controversie so clearly stated and which hath lain so long asleep till now awakened by our Author to beget new quarrels Such passages in that History as come under any Animadversion have been reduced unto the other as occasion served which the Reader may be pleased to take notice of as they come before him Fuller Because omitted by Arch-Bishop Parker I have the more Cause and Reason to insert it Otherwise had he handled the Subject before the Animadvertor would have cryed out Crambe that there was nothing novel therein Call it I pray The FRINGE of my Book be it but for the Subjects sake whereof it treats my dear Mother the University of Cambridge I live in the same generation with the Animadvertor and I hope shall acquit my self as honest which truly is as wise as himself CHURCH-ROMANCE parciùs ista As I tell the Reader of the burning of those Original Charters so in the same place I charge my Margin with my Author Dr. Caius and thereby discharge my self Doth the Animadvertor now forbear all intermedling therein in this Controversy Why did he not forbear before when setting forth his last Geography some five years since And is it not as lawful for me to defend as for him to oppose my Mother When where and by whom was this Controversie so clearly stated Was it by the Animadvertor himself Such a Party is unfit for a Iudge Or was it stated by the Parliament mentioned by him 1 mo Iacobi when as he telleth us the Clerk was commanded to place Oxford first But it plainly appears it was not then so clearly decided but that the question was ever started again in the late long Parliament with Arguments on both Sides Witness the printed Speech of Sir Simonds D'EWES on that occasion Dr. Heylyn All these extravagancies and impertinencies which make up a fifth part of the whole Volume being thus discharged it is to be presum'd that nothing should remain but a meer Church History as the Title promiseth But let us not be too presumptuous on no better grounds Fuller The Animadvertor's Words mind me of a Memorable passage which hereafter he hath in his Animadversions on my Sixth Book or History of Abbeys The Intruder payeth to the Sequestred Minister but a NINETEENTH part in stead of a FIFTH But if the FIFTH-PART in relation to my Book be here stated to the same proportion for the NINETEENTH yet will not the Animadvertor's measure be reconciled to the Standard of Truth Dr. Heylyn For on a Melius inquirendum into the whole course of the Book which we have before us we shall find too little of the Church and too much of the State I mean too little of the Ecclesiastical and too much of the Civil History It might be reasonably expected that in a History of the Church of England we should have heard somewhat of the foundation and enlargement of Cathedral Churches if not of the more eminent Monasteries and Religious Houses and that we should have heard somewhat more of the succession of Bishops in their several and respective Sees their personal Endowments learned Writings and other Acts of Piety Magnificence and publick Interess especially when the times afforded any whose names in some of those respects deserv'd to be retain'd in everlasting remembrance Fuller I doubt not but the Reader who hath perused my Church-History will bear me witness that therein there is a competent Representation of all these particulars so far forth as the Proportion of the Book will bear Dr. Heylyn It might have been expected also that we should have found more frequent mention of the calling of National and Provincial Synods with the result of their proceedings and the great influence which they had on the Civil State sparingly spoken of at the best and totally discontinued in a manner from the death of King Henry the fourth until the Convâ—â—â—tion of the yeer 1552. of which no notice had been taken but that he had a mind to question the Authority of the Book of Articles which came out that year though publisht as the issue and product of it by the express Warrant and Command of King Edward the sixth Fuller All Councels before the Conquest with their Canons are compleatly and the most remarkable after it represented in my History With what face can the Animadvertor say that I have discontinued the Acts of the Convocation till the year 1552 The Acts of one critical Convocation in the 27 of Henry the eighth 1535. taking up no less than eight sheets in my Book and another in the same Kings Reign imploying more than a sheet Dr. Heylyn No mention of that memorable Convocation in the fourth and fifth years of Philip and Mary in which the Clergy taking notice of an Act of Parliament then newly passed by which the Subjects of the Temporality having Lands to the yearly value of five pounds and upwards were charged with finding Horse and Armour according to the proportion of their yearly Revenues and Possessions did by their sole authority as a Convocation impose upon themselves and the rest of the Clergy of this Land the finding of a like number of Horses Armour and other Necessaries for the War according to their yearly income proportion for proportion and rate for rate as by that Statute had been laid on the Temporal Subjects Fuller I am confident that this is the self-same Convocation which is thus entered in my Church-History Book 8. p. 39. Anno 1557. quinto Mariae The Clergy gave the Queen a Subsidie of eight shillings in the pound confirmed by Act of Parliament to be paid in four years In requital whereof by Poole 's procurement the Queen Priviledged them from shewing their horses with the Laily yet so that they should muster them up for the defence of the Land under Captains of their own own chusing I cannot therefore be justly charged with no mention of the Acts of this Convocation Dr. Heylyn And this they did by their own sole Authority as before was said Ordering the same to be levyed on all such as were refractory by Sequestration Deprivation Suspension Excommunication Ecclesiastical Censures all without relating to any subsequent confirmation by Act of Parliament which they conceiv'd they had no need of Fuller I took the less notice of and gave the less heed to the transactions of the Clergy therein because then they were in their Hufte and Height furious with Fire and Fagot so that all done by them de facto cannot be justified for Legal who sometimes borrowed a point of Law even with intent never to repay it in their proceedings It may be proved out of Mr. Fox that some at that time by a cruell Prolepsis antedated the burning of some Martyrs before the Writ de Haeretico Comburendo came unto them Wherefore all their actions
any in valour behind none of the three Christians Yea as Sapho is adjected by some to the nine Muses and made a Tenth so let there be ten worthyes rather than Constantine should be excluded But enough hereof Poets and Painters being the most staple Authors in this point THE SECOND BOOK Of the Conversion of the Saxons and that which followed thereupon till the Norman Conquest Dr. Heylin IN order to the Conversion of the Saxons our Author begins as he had done before in that of the Britans with the unhappy condition of that People in the state of Gentilism Fuller Here is an intimation as If I had mistook my Epoches in my Church History of Britans or Saxons or both beginning them too soon or too late I avouch it done in due time and so passe from the Animadvertors snarling to his biting Dr. Heylin In the description whereof he omitteth that which was indeed their greatest unhappiness that is to say their barbarous and inhumane sacrifices of men and women unto two of their Idols For Camden telleth us of their god called Wooden that they used to procure his favour by sacrificing unto him men alive And I have read in Verstegan if my memory fail not a man inferiour to none in the Antiquities of this Nation that at their return from any conquest they us'd to sacrifice the noblest of their Captives to their Idol Thur. In this not much inferior to the Palestinians in their sacrifices to Moloch or to the Carthaginians in the like abominable sacrifices to Saturn or to the Scythians in the like to Diana Taurica or finally to the Galls in theirs to Haesus and Teutateâ— their own National Deities But not to lay at our Authors charge these small sins of Omission we must next see whether he be not guilty of some sin of Commission also Fuller See here the signal Charity of the Animadvertor After he had layed the charge as heavy as he could and heavier than he should he candidly comes off he will not lay to my charge such small faults of Omission I was not bound to particularize in all the Saxon prodigious impieties all being included in that my general expression ABOMINABLE the proper Scripture-word in this case in the Rites and Ceremonies of their Adoration Dr. Heylin For making a general muster of the Saxon Gods and shewing how they were dispos'd of in relation to the dayes of the week he concludes it thus Fol. 55. And thus we see the whole week bescattered with Saxon Idols whose Pagan gods were the God-fathers of the dayes and gave them their names Not the whole week though the greatest part thereof was thus bescattered Sunday and Munday being so call'd in reference to the Sun and Moon or else in correspondence to the names of Dies Solis and Dies Lunae which they found given by the Romans at their entrance here For either the Sun and Moon were worshipped by the ancient Saxons and then might think themselves neglected in having no place assigned them amongst the rest or else the Saxon Pagan Gods were not the Godfathers to all the dayes of the week as our Author telleth us Fuller It is harsh that I must be indicted to justifie every metaphorical expression but know That the word bescattered properly importeth some empty intervalls or naked distances betwixt the things scattered which otherwise would be covered all over and not be scattered If therefore two dayes in the seven have escaped nomination from Saxon Idols the week notwithstanding may be said bescattered by them Dr. Heylin As much he seems to be mistaken in their god called Woden of whom thus he telleth us Fol. 54. Woden that is wood fierce or furious giving the denomination to Wednesday or Wodens-day armed cap a pe with military Coronet on his head he was the god of Battail by whose aid and furtherance they hoped to obtain Victory correspondent to Mars But Camden sings another song telling us that Wooden was not worshipped for Mars but Mercury Above all other gods saith he they worshipped Mercury whom they called Wooden whose favour they procured by sacrificing unto him men alive and to him they consecrated the fourth day of the week whereupon we call it at this day Wednesday Thus also in another place Wansdike in the Saxon tongue called Wodenepoic that is to say the Ditch of Wooden or Mercury and as it should seem of Woden that false imagined god and father of the English Saxons And herein I shall rather subscribe to Camdens than our Authors judgement For certainly had the Saxons worshipped Wooden as the god of Battail or correspondent to Mars they would have given him the third day of the week or the day of Mars and not the fourth day of the week or the day of Mercury as they gave Sunday and Munday unto Sol and Luna and Thursday unto Thur whom they worshipped in the place of Iupiter ascribing unto him as the Greeks and Romans did to Iupiter the power of bearing rule in the Air governing Thunder Lightnings Windes Showers fair weather c. as Adam Bremensis a good Writer doth inform us of them And though it may be true which our Author telleth us that by his aid and furtherance they hoped to obtain Victory yet this entitleth him not to the place of Mars as many victories being gotten by wit and stratagem the known arts of Mercury as by strength and valour Fuller In describing the Saxon Idolatries I followed Verstegan as the best in this kind as who Data opera had written on that subject and who lately by the Animadvertor was styled and that very deservedly a man inferiour to none in the Antiquities of this Nation However finding a difference betwixt him and Mr. Camden in this particular I fairly entred this plain note in the margin of my book So Verstegan pag. 72. but Camden Brit. pag. 135. makes him to be Mercury Now either the Animadvertor did not or did take notice of this marginal note If he did not being there tendered so conspicuously to the Reader it is high time for him to leave off writing of books and turn his penne into prayers otherwise such omissions by those who read unto him will every day more and more inevitably betray him to and involve him in more inconveniences If he did take notice of this note which is most probable alwaies consulting my margin when making for his advantage he discovered much superfluity not to say of naughtinesse Actum agere that what I had done before he must doe again and also finde fault with me who had done it before in this his unnecessary Animadversion I will onely add that the fierce and furious aspect of Woden the evidence of his wild and wood nature whence He had his Name better countenanceth his correspondency with Mars than Mercury the latter being concerned to carry a more meek and mild countenance as who being of a tamer kind
