Cant. On December 1. 1635. Canterbury writ this enâ—uing Letter to the Archbishop of Saint Andrewes concerning Fasts on the Lords day their Booke of Canons The Copy whereof I found in his Chamber at the Tower thus indorsed with his Secretaries hand A Copy of my Letters to the Lord Archbishop of Saint Aâ—drewes for the prohibiting of all Fasts on the Lords day throughout the Kingdome My very good Lord S. in Christo. I Have but one thing at this present to trouble you with but that hath much displeased the King and not without very just Cause For now while the King is setling that Church against all things that were defective in it and against the continuance of all unwarrantable customes â—nknowne to or opposed by the ancient Church of Christ the new Bishop of Aberdene hath given wâ—y to and allowed a publick Fast thorow out his Diocesse to be kept upon the Lords Day contrary to the rules of Christianity and all the antient Canons of the Church I was in good hope that Church had quite layed downe that ill Custome but since it appeares the now Bishop of Aberdene hath continued it and perhaps others may follow his example if this passe without a checke Therefore his Majesties expres will and command to your Grace is that you and my Lord of Glascowe take order with all the Bishopps in your severall Provinces respectively that no man presume to command or suffer any Fast to be upon that day or indeed any publicke Fast upon any other day without the speciall leave and command of the King to whose power it belongs and not to them And further his Majesties will and pleasure is that if the Canons be not allready printed as I presume they are not that you make a Canon purposely against this unworthy custome and see it printed with the reâ—t And that you write a short letter to the Bishop of Aberdene to let him understand how he hath over-shot himselfe which letter you may send together with these of mine if you so please This is all which for the present I have to trouble you with therefore leaving you to Gods blessed protection I rest Your Graces very loving freind and Brother W. Cant. And to justifie himselfe if questioned he procured this Warrant writ with his owne Secretaries hand Master Dell without any date at all to be signed by his Majesty I doubt since his late questioning thus endorsed with his owne hand Warrant for the Scotch Canons Charles R. CAnterbury I would have you and the Bishop of London peruse the Canons which are sent from the Bishops of Scotland and to your best skill see that they be wâ—ll sitted for Church-government and as neare as conveniently may be to the Canons of the Châ—rch of England And to that end you or either of you may alter what you shall finde fitting NOTE And this shall be your Warrant Aprill 20. 1636. the Archbishop writ this Letter to the Bishop of Dunblane concerning the Communion in the Chappell royall the Booke of Ordâ—nation and the Litâ—rgy the Copy whereof is indorsed with his owne hand I Have received other Letters from you by which I finde you have written to his Majesty about the Communion in the Chappell Royall concerning which the King holds his former resolution That he would be very glad there should be a full Communion at all solemne times as is appointed But because men doe not alwayes fitte themselves as they ought for that great aâ—d holy worke therefore his Majesty will be satisfied if every one that is required to Communicate there doe solemnly and conformably performe that action once a yeare at least And in conâ—ormity to this you are to signifie once a yeare NOTE unto his sacred Majesty who have communicated within the compasse of that yeare and who not And of this you must not saile By these last Letters of yours I find that you are consecrated God give you joy And whereas you desire a Coppy of our Booke of Ordination I have heere sâ—nt you one And I have acquainted his Majesty with the two great reasons that you give why the Booke which you had in K. Iames his time is short and insufficient As first that the order of Deacons is made but as a Lay Office at least as that Booke may be understood And secondly that in the admission to Priesthood the very essentiall words of conferring Orders are left out At which his Majesty was much troubled as he had great cause and concerning which he hath commanded me to write that either you doe admit of out booke of Ordination or else that you amend your owne in these two grosse over sights or any thing else if in more it be to be corrected and then see the Booke reprinted I pray faile not to acquaint my Lord of Saint Andrewes and my Lord Rosse with this expresse Command of his Majesty I received likewise from you at the same time certaine notes to be considered of that all or at least so many of them as his Majesty should approve might be made use of in your Liturgie which is now in printing And though my businesse hath of late laine very heavy upon me yet I presently acquainted his Majesty with what you had written After this I and Bishop Wren my Lord Treasurer being now otherwise busied by his Majesties appointment sate downe seriously and considered of them all and then I tendred them againe to the King without out animadversioâ—â— upon them and his Majesty had the patience to weigh and consider them all againe This done so many of them as his Majesty approved I have written into a service booke of ours sent you the book with his Majesties-hand to it to warrant all your alterations made therein So in the printing of your Liturgie you are to follow the
Booke which my Lord Rosse brought the additions which are made to the Book I now sent But if you finde the Book of my Lord Rosses and this to differ in any thing that is materiall there you are to follow this later Booke I now send as expressing somethings more fully And now that your Lordship sees all of your animadversions which the Kings approved written into this booke I shall not need to write largely to you what the reasons were why all of yours were not admitted for your judgement and modesty is such that you will easily conceive some reason was apprehended for it Yet because it is necessary that you know some what more distinctly I shall here give you a particular accompt of some things which are of most moment and which otherwise perhaps might breed a doubtfullnesse in you And first I thought you could not have doubted but that the Magnificat c. was to be printed according to the Translation of King Iames for that was named once for all And that translation is to be followed in the Epistles and Gospells as well as in the Psalmes Where I pray observe in the Title-page of the Psalmes in the booke I now send an alteration which I thinke my Lord Rosses booke had not And if you have not printed those Psalmes with a Colon in the middle of every verse NOTE as it is with ours ordinarily in the English it is impossible those Psalmes should ever be well sung to the Organ And if this error be run into it must be mended by a painfull way by a pen for all such Bookes as the Chappell Royall useth and then by one of them the next impression of your Liturgie may be mended wholly Secondly in the Creed of Saint Athanasius We can agree to no more emendations no not according to our best Greeke Copies then you shall finde amended in this Booke Thirdly though the Bishops there were willed to consider of the Holy Dayes yet it was never intended but that the Office appointed for every of them should be kept in the Liturgie and the consideration was onâ—y to be of the observation of them Fourthly for the sentences at the Offettorie We admit of all yours but Wee thinke with all that diverse which are in our Booke would be retained together with yours As namely the 2d 4th 6th 7 8. 9. 10. 13. 14. 15. Fifthly I would have every Prayer or other Action through the whole Communion named in the Rubrick before it NOTE that it may be knowne to the people what it is as I have begun to doe in the Prayer of Consecration and in the memoriall or Prayer of oblation Fac similiter Sixtly We doe fully approve the Collect of Consecration and Oblation should preceed and the Lords Prayer follow next and be said before the Communion in that order which you have exprest but for the Invitation Consâ—ssion Absolution Sentences Preface and Doxologie We thinke they stand best as they are now placed in our Liturgie and as for the Prayer of humble accesse to the holy Communion that will stand very well next before the Participation Seaventhly I have ordered a Rubrick in the Margin of this Booke according as you desire to direct him that celebrates when to take the Sacrament into his hand Namely to take and breake and lay hands on the Chalice as he speakes the words For certaiâ—ly the practise of the Church of England therein is very right And for the objection that we should not doe it till we expresse our Warrant so to doe which you conceive is in these words Do this c. I Answer 1. That those words Do this c are rather our Warrant for the Participation or Communication then the Consecration 2. That our repeating what Christ did is our Warrant to doe the same being there to commanded 3. That the whole Action is Astus continuus and therefore though in our saying Do this followes after yet it doth and must be intended to that which We did before and comes last to seale and confiâ—me our Warrant for doing so And so t is in the other Sacrament of Baptisme where we take the Child first and Baptise it and then afterwards Wee say We receive this Child c. Which in Actu continuâ— must needs relate to the preceeding act for the Child was actually received into the Church by the very act of Baptisme it selfe And this is but our Declaration of that Reception And Whereas you write that much more might have beene done if the times would have borne it I make noe doubt but there might have beene a fuller Addition But God be thanked this will doe very well and I hope breed up a great deale of devout and religious pietie in that Kingdome Yet I pray for my Farther satisfaction at your best leisure â—â—aw up all those particulers which you thinke might make the Liturgy perfâ—ct whether the times will beare them or not And send them safe to me I will not faile to give you my judgment oâ— them Note and perhaps put some of them to further use at least in my owne particular One thing more and then I have done In his Majesties authourising of the notes in this book preâ—ixed at the begining of it though he leave a liberty to my Lords the Archbishops of St. Andrewes Brethreâ— the Bishops who are upon the plâ—ce upon apparent reason to vary some things Yet you must know and inâ—orme them that his Majestie having viewed all these additions hopes there will be no need of change of any thing and wil be best pleased with little or rather no alteration So wishing all prosperity to that Church and a happy finishing of your Liturgie and health to my Brethren the Bishops I leave you to the Grace of God and rest Lambeth Aprill 20. 1636. Your Lordships very loving Freind and Brother W. Cant. This Letter gives us very much light concerning the proceedings of the Archbishop in the Scottish Liturgie the Scottish Bishops sending all their Notes and alteratioâ—s of it doubts concerning it to him from time to time as to their only Oâ—icle all which I have at large but preâ—ermit in silence and receiving his directions which were punctually observed By which it appeares how vaine and false this excuse of his concerning this businesse is which hee drew up with his owne hand since his imprisonment in the Tower where I founde it thus indorsed and superscribed by him The * * But his own Letters the subsequent passages manifest it to beâ— false true Narrative concerning the Scottish Service Book Doctor Iohn Maxwell the late Bishop of Rosse came to me from his Majesty It was during the time of a great sicknesse which I had Anno 1629 which is 11. yeares since The cause of his comming was to speake with me about a Lyturgie for Scotland At this time I was so extreame ill that I saw him not And had death
better effecting of this I must and doe further require that the Register doe write out severall Copies of these Letters and issue them into the severall Arch-deaconries that none may plead ignorance of their duty in this behalfe as you must look to answer it further if fault be found to rest upon you Thus not doubting of your religious care and duty to the Church and State I leave you all to the grace of God and rest Your loving Friend and Diocesian Gul.

Cant. Lamb. Iuly 4. 1637. After this on the 23. of Iuly the Service Book was to bee read in all Churches of Edenborough the chiefe City of that Kingdom as a president for all the rest where it found such publike generall opposition by the people that the designe of reading it was prevented and the Bishops and others who were to put it in execution were inforced to give the people good words promises nor to bring in the book among them NOTE till further order for feare of being torn in peeces The particulars whereof being at large related by otherâ— I shal pretermit Vpon tydings of this tumultuous opposition the Arch-bishop writ this letter to the Earl of Traquarer Lord Treasurer of Scotland August 7. 1637. concerning Tithes and it August 7th 1637. FOr the Commission of Tithes I was ever against it in my own Judgment and there in I agreed with my Lords of St. Andrews and Rosse since neither of them hath given me sufficient reason why J should change my minde yeâ— if the Commission â—ye a sleepe a while to see what may be said further for it J thinke t is not amisse And then if nothing can be said that shall make it appeare more beneficiall to that Church then yet it doth to me it may be with the better deliberation quite extinguished The truth is at least as it appeares to me in the present use of it it is made a publicke pretence to privat ends My Lord J thinke you know my opinion how J would have Church-businesse caried were I as great a Master of Men as I thanke God I am of things T is true the Church as well there as else where hath beene overborne by violence both in matter of maintenance and jurisdiction Note But if the Church will recover in either of these she her Governours must proceed not as shee was proceeded against but by a constant temper shâ— must make the world see she had the wrong but offer none And since Law hath followed in that King dome perhaps to make good that which was ill done yet since a Law it is such a reformation or restitution would be sought for as might stand with the Law and some expedient be found out how the Law may be by some just Exposition helped till the state shall see Cause to abolish it His Majesty takes it very ill that the businesse concerning the stablishment of the Service booke hath beene so weakly caried and hath great reason to thinke himselfe and his Government dishonoured by the late tumult in Edenborow Iuly 23. and therefore expects that your Lordship and the rest of the honourable Councell set your selves to it that the Liturgy may be established orderly and with Peace to repaire what hath beene done amisse Note For his Majesty well knowes the Clergy alone have not power enough to goe through with a businesse of this nature and therefore is not very well satisfied with them either for the Omission in that kind to advise for assistance of his Lords Councell or for the preparation or way they tooke For certainly the publication a weeke before that on the next Sunday the prayers according to the Liturgy should be read in all the Churches of Edenborow was upon the matter to give those that were ill affected to the service time to communicate their thoughts and to premeditate and provide against it as it is most apparent they did Nor is his Majesty well satisfied wâ—th the Clergy that they which are in authority were not advertised that they might attend the countenancing of such a service so much tending to the honour of God and the King And I am verily perswaded if that accident of the marriage of your Kinsman had not carryed your Lordship out of the City that day some things would not have beene altogether so bad and my Lord privy seale would have had the better assistance Neither was this the best Act that ever they did to send away their letters apart without acquainting the Councell that their advertisements might have come by the same Messenger together with their joynt advise which way was best to punish the Offendors at least the prime and chiefe of them and which to prevent the like disorders And after so long time of preparation to be to seeke who should read the service is more then strange to me unlesse they think such a businesse can do it selfe but his Majesty out of his piety and wisedome gave by the Messenger which the Bishops sent such full directions both to the Lords of the Councell and the Lords of the Clergy as I hope will settle the businesse from further trouble But the Proclamation which you have now sent up to the King I have not yet seene Of all the rest the weakest part was the interdicting of all Divine service till his Majestyes pleasure was further known And this as also the giving warning of the publishing his Majesty at the first reading of the letters and report of the Fact checked at Note and commanded me to write so much to my Lord of Saint Andrews which I did And your Lordship at the Councell Iuly 24. spake very worthily against the inâ—eâ—dicting of the service For that were in effect as much as to disclaime the work or to give way to the insolency of the baser multitude and his Majesty hath commanded me to thankyou for it in his name But the disclayming the Book as any act of theirs but as it was his Majestes command was most unworthy T is most true the King commanded a Liturgy it was time they had one They did not like to admit of outs but thought it more reputation for them as indeed it was to compile one of their own yet as neere as might be and they have done it well will they now cast downe the milke they have given because a few Milke-maids have scolded at them I hope they will be better advised Note certainly they were very ill advised when they spake thus at the Councell boord But my Lord of this there was not one word in the letter So I hope they have done with that W. Cant. Vpon this Letter the designe of imposing the Service-Booke was more strenuously prosecuted then before and divers Ministers were enjoyned to read it by a certain day in their Churches under paine of Horning and the Bayliffes of Edinborow were so terrified and wroâ—e upon by the Lord Treasurer and Councell that they writ this submissive Letter to the Archbishop thus superscribed To the most Reverend Father in God and our very honourable good Lord the Archbishop of Canterbury his Grace Primate and Metropolitan of all England these
Graces hands I have here inclosed them all Thus with my prayers for the long continuance of your Graces health and happy government of this Church I humbly take my leave Your Graces in all due observance Eldard Alvey York Octob. 16. 1640. What else concerns the Archbishops activity and proceedings in the Scottish Troubles and Wars you may read in the Articles exhibited against him to the Lords in Parliament by the Scotch Commissioners and the House of Commons But before I leave this subject I shall onely give you a little more light how active the Papists were to concur with the Archbishop aâ—d Prelates in setting on these Scottish Wars Troubles and what advantages they made of them Not long before the Scottish troubles one Francis Smith a great Iesuit discoursing with Mr. * See the Popish Royall Favourite p. 31.

This war was no sooner resolved on by the King by the Archbishop and his confederations instigations but the Popes Nuncio with the Priests Iesuits and Roman Catholicks of England and Wales all privy to the plot assembled together in a kind of Parliament or generall Counsell of State at London in Aprill 1639.

Right Honourable Sir THe Pope his Catarre arguing a multiplicity of humors dangerous in 74. yeers of age gave occasion to his Physition to suggest so much to Cardinall Barbarino and to him to make serious instance with the Pope for a Creation lest some sudden sicknesse portended by those Catarres prevent him This makes the pretendants expect the complements of their desires about Christmasse and indeed there would not be much improbability in it the creation importing the Pope and Nephew so much if the dispute about the nominated by the Crownes were ended But as yet nor France nor Spaine hath had promise of having Abbot Peretti or Mon Seigniâ—ur Massarini created Mr. Sommerset is come to Florence upon his arrivall here and his Negotiation we shall see what hopes either he or any others WHO AYME AT OUR ENGLISH CARDINALS CAP MAY PROMISE THEMSELVES Note c.

A Postscript The Phisitians having given notice to the Cardinall of the increase of the Popes Catarrs Note the Cardinall thinkes seriously of the new creation of Cardinalls in which it is thought the Kings shall have the Caps they desire This Letter needs no great Commentary but clearely shewes that this Gentleman met both with a Commission and Instructions from hence at Rome and was to doe some speciall service there About May 1640. Con the Popes second English Nuncio returning from England to Rome to be Cardinal the Pope sent a Nephew of his Count Rosetâ— to succeed him who being but yong and unexperienced the Pope commended him by this speciall Bull Note to the old active English lesuit Sir Toby Matthew very intimate with the Archbishop Windebank Wentworth Lord Deputy of Ireland the Earl of Arundel and most great Lords and Ladies about the Court or city as to his Angle Gardian the copy whereof I found among Windebanks papers written with his own hand which intimates that the Pope had very great hopes of reducing England to its ancient vassallage to him in a very short space by the help of those female active Amazons and instruments who laboured day and night to effect this designe of his Dilecto filio Tobiae Matheo Societat Iesu sacerdoti Urbanus Papa 8.

Woman in Scotland and had maried another one Mistresse Wiseman in England with whom he cohabited here in London The Scottish Woman claymed him but she being poore and none to protect her after two yeares suite he was declared to be Wisemans husband money was his Cause for himselfe assured me it cost him in gifts feasting his Advocates and Clerks above 150. pounds What intollerable Injustice was this it being notoriously knowne that the Scottish Woman was his wife The chiefe Extortioners are the Registers of the Court Stephen Knight and his companion Brother in law to Sir Iohn Limbe When his Grace foresawe the Parliament would call them in question he presently deposed them and made the said Knight principall Proctor in his Court who fearing to be questioned for the same misdemeanours fled with his whole Family to Norwitch and there bought of that Bishop the Registers office and so is like to continue his accustomed trade of extortion except this Honourable Court call him coram to answer his innumerable oppressions which are to be seene in the Registers booke of the high Commission He hath two bonds of mine and two letters of Atturney made by me to him His ordinary course was this to take for every one twenty shillings for that he should have had but two shillings sixpence which extended to a great summe in the yeare And out of Terme he had Fees for six Clerkes and so many Promoters which went throughout England plaging the poore and inriching themselves and their Master Knight Likewise the other extortioner was Bonnyragge the greatest Knave in the Country For money he would doe any thing He carried in his Pouch a number of Citations and when he pleased for money dismissed any one A Master Quashet Mr. Smith the Iesuite and Mr. Fisher of the same Order And one Cutbert a lay brother of theirs of whom I spoke before A great number of lay persons Recusants whom I know have beene dismist by him some for forty shillings some for twentie shillings but the least was ten shillings Of a great part of Anabaptists and Brownists some that were poore he imprisoned But the rich for money escaped as themselves will depose It is fit this Bonnyragge and also the Bishop of Londons Pursivants be called in question with many other of his Promoters and under Officers As Arthur Huffe living in Saint Peters street in Westminster I come now to the fourth point concerning the Popes aspiring to the temporall government of these Kingdomes NOTE and the manner how he proceedes which I will clearely set downe You shall be informed what his Ambition was seeing himselfe exalted to Saint Peters Chaire being before Cardinall protector of the Scottish Nation And which is ominous the two former Popes Clement the eight and Paul the fifth his Predecessors having been in minoribus protectors of Scotland He thought to do something more to reduce both under one King to the Romish Church NOTE And as Clement the seaventh had by his miscarriage beene the Cause of this diâ—coriation from the obedience of the sea of Rome he might be the meanes of their reconciliation Wherefore he was no sooner made Pope but the same day with his owne hand a thing not accustomed he writ a letter to King Iames of good memory shewing his election promotion to saint Peters Chaire and offering his correspondency with his Majesty at the same instant he nominated Signiour Georgio Conne a Scottish youth who was Schoole fellow with his Nephew Signior Francisco afterwards Cardinall who should informe him of all important businesse of England and Scotland This Signior George was a very faire youth of some fifteene yeares of age and of a faire disposition having also accesse to his Holinesse you may understand my meaning for in minority being Legat in Pâ—lonia hee was much suspected of incontinency And assoone as any English Scottish or Irish Runagates came to Rome he went to their lodgings in the Popes behalfe and brought them of his Holinesse Bread and Wine and other rarities as Boligman Sauseges and other dainties letting them see all the Antiquities of Rome and their Churches though they were not of their Religion and feasting them on the Popes charge when they visited the seaven Churches as the Lord Craven and others And now the Pope with his politique braine began to excogitate the meanes to have correspondency with the King by fortune there was at Rome a Hollender expert in drayning of Lands to make the Marish grounds pasturable and arrable who having got accesse to his Holynesse Informed him that all the Marish grounds in the champaigne of Rome which was above six miles might be drained and made profitable The Pope for his profit gave a great eare and understanding by this man the meanes to effect if in a short time that he needed great store of men to worke and that of all Nations the English were most expert The Pope presently takes hould thereof apprehending it as a fit occasion to treat with our K. wherefore he sends hither the Hollander in post hast by whom Signior Georgio writ to sundry of his frinds viz. to some of the Queenes Court Note by whose meanes at last he got accesse to his Majesty signifying from whence he came and the great profit which would redouud to this Kingdome if he would permit some two thousand Familyes of his People with their Wives and Children to goe and inhabit there and after successively more For he had gotten promise of the Pope that they should not be troubled but use their consciences without any vexation at all More this Hollander signified to his Majesty the great Commodity it would be to the trade in those parts for transporting from hence Cloth pewter lead and other Commodities and from thence Wines Raysins Oyles Capers and other fruits with a great quantity of Allome The businesse is remited to the Councell to consider if his Majesty might have correspondency with the Pope Note as a temporall Prince as he hath with other Princes and States who are not so potent as Holland Venice Florence c After mature deliberation it was concluded he might for the causes prementioned The Hollander returnes with speed to Rome shewing how well he had dispatched together with His Majesties Declaration and Order of the Councell with Letters and answers of sundry persons to Signior Georgio whom hee had feasted at Rome and knew of the Queenes Court being his Countrymen Then was it thought fit by those about Her Majestie to begin the Treaty and to breake that holy Ice for the Popes honours sake then was nominated Sir Robert Douglas Couzin Germain to the Marquesse Douglas an ancient friend to Father Philips and Signior Georgio a discâ—eet Gentleman who had much travailed and was expert in the Italian French Spanish and Germain languages A Courtier yet modest and discreet But the Cardinall Richleau must be the man Note who should have the honour to direct him
