Cambden who wrote the Annals of those Times The Account that he gives us is this that the Number of Ecclesiastical Promotions was 9400 of all which only 80 Rectors of Churches 50 Prebendaries 15 Presidents of Colleges 12 Archdeacons 12 Deans and six Abbots were turned out in all 175 most if not all of them very likely put in unjustly in Queen Maries Days or else chosen out particularly for their known Obstinacy and Humour in contending for the Errors of the Church of Rome And yet what a poor handful they were to the rest which were above 9200 who did Return to Lawful Settlement of the Church in King Edward's Days and the true Canonical Bishops then remaining who concurred in Ordaining Archbishop Parker and other Bishops restoring and setling the Reformation God Almighty in his due Time put an end to all those immoderate Heats and Contentions and inspire Papists and other Dissenters with that Charitable and Peaceable Temper which always eminently appeared in the true Catholicks of the Church of England And let all those that heartily desire the Advancement of Religion and the Salvation of Mankind consider that the way to promote the Glory of God and the Peace and Unity of the Church is not to carry on secular Designs to impose the private Opinions of the Council of Trent and Roman Schools nor yet the Fanatical Devices of some Modern Reformers but by maintaining the truly Ancient and Apostolick Faith Devotion and Discipline delivered and recommended to us by the Word of God and Example and Authority of the Primitive and Catholick Church which is and can be observed no where in greater Perfection than in the Church of England as is Established by Law.
