harme I wish them is that they would leaue off this thred-bare trade of Calumny especially towards the Dead grow better acquainted with speaking and writing the Truth and not conuersing with her at such a distance as now they doe Or if they will needs be Architecti mendaciorum still hammering vntruths I would aduize them to lay probable foundations and chuse such Materials as are more malleable and in the worlds esteeme not so impossible for them to worke vpon as He they haue heere selected For euery wood will not make a Mercury nor is euery good man a fit mould to cast Them a Conuert in Farewell H. K. THE EXAMINATION OF THOMAS PRESTON taken before the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Decemb. 20. 1621. BEing asked Whether he hath not heard by report and bruite abroad that it hath been said of him that hee was with Doctor King late Lo. Bishop of London a little before his death and that he reconciled the said Bishop to the Church of Rome and therein performed vnto him the office and function of a Priest And being further asked Whether he hath not heard of a Book not long since published which is intituled Protestants Plea and Petition for Priests and Papists and that in the same Booke it is said that the fore-named Bishop did humbly at the feet of a Priest confesse his sinnes receiue Sacramentall absolution at his hands and was reconciled to the Catholike Roman Church And being hereupon charged vpon his conscience and his Priesthood to speake the truth whether hee were the person spoken of by report or designed by the said booke to performe such an office Hee answereth That it is true that hee hath often heard that such a Report was spredde abroad concerning him and many both Protestants and Catholikes haue come vnto him to inquire whether that report and bruit were true or no. And that hee hath heard that in the booke before named some such thing is deliuered and vpon the day of this his examination hee was shewed the booke by the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury wherein hee found those things afore mentioned to bee contained For the declaring of truth in all which he protesteth before God and vpon his conscience as he shall answere at the dreadfull Day of Iudgement that the said Bishop of London did neuer confesse himselfe vnto this Examinate nor euer receiued Sacramentall absolution at his hands nor was euer by him reconciled vnto the Church of Rome neither did renounce before him the Religion professed and established in the Church of England nor did performe any other circumstance tending that way as is in the said booke of the Protestants Plea deliuered Yea he addeth further that as he hath hope to be saued by Christ Jesus he this Examinate to his knowledge was neuer in company where the said Doctor King late Lord Bishop of London was neither did he euer receiue letter from him nor did write letter vnto him neither did he euer to his knowledge see the said Bishop in any place whatsoeuer nor could haue knowne him from another man and therefore affirmeth that this bruit and report is raised concerning this Examinate and the said late Bishop without any true ground and foundation Being asked what hee should thinke to bee the cause wherefore any person should raise this fame or report hee saith that from the beginning hee did conceiue it to be nothing else but that some who did maligne him were willing to disgrace him or vndoe him by bringing him in obloquy with the King or State where he remaines a prisoner Being demanded whether euer hee hath probably or credibly heard that any other Priest did repaire to the said late Bishop did take his Confession gaue him absolution or reconciled him to the Roman Church hee protesteth that he did neuer credibly or probably heare of any such thing Being asked whether he hath heard that Masse hath been said for the said Bishop in any part beyond the seas hee answereth that he hath heard such a report but doth not know any thing of certainty concerning the same Examinatur coram G.
