A10191	Newes from Ipswich discovering certaine late detestable practises of some domineering lordly prelates, to undermine the established doctrine and discipline of our church, extirpate all orthodox sincere preachers and preaching of Gods word, usher in popery, superstition and idolatry : with their late notorious purgations of the new fastbooke, contrary to His Majesties proclamation, and their intolerable affront therein offred to the most illustrious Lady Elizabeth, the Kinge onely sister, and her children, (even vvhiles they are novv royally entertained at court) [i]n blotting them out of the collect, and to His Majesty, His Queene, and their royall progeny, in blotting them out of the number of Gods elect.

of impious popish Prelats But is this all No verily For whereas his Majesty commanded that the booke of Common prayer for the fast formerly set forth by his authority upon the like occasion should be reprinted these Romish Inquisitors have miserably gelded it after it was new printed in sundry particulars First they have purged out the prayer for seasonable weather one cause of the shipwracks tēpestuous unseasonable weather ever since its publication Secondly they have dashed the Lady Elizabeth and her children in the old Collect quite out of the new as they have expunged both them with our gracious King Queene and their children out of the catalogue of Gods elect by blotting out this clause who art the father of thine elect and of their seed out of the Collect for them in this and all new Common prayer bookes as if they were all reprobates none of the number of Gods elect either to a temporall or an eternall crowne O intollerable impiety affront and horrid Treason Thirdly they have left out this Collect It had beene best for us c. in the new book though the most effectuall prayer of all because it magnifies continual often preaching of Gods Word and the Scriptures and calls our powerfull Preachers Gods servants A sig●e these Prelates have conspired together like so many execrable Traytors to extirpate our frequent powerfull Preachers and continuall preaching of Gods Word as they have d●ne in many places of late though prescribed by God himselfe c our Homili is Fourthly they have dashed this remarkable clause out of the first Collect. Thou hast delivered us from superstition and idolatry two grand causes both of many former and our present plagues no doubt wherein we were utterly drowned hast brought us into the most cleare and comfortable light of thy blessed Word by which we are taught how to serve and honor thee and how to live orderly with our neighbours in truth and verity the rest of the Collect remaining as before Now what can be the cause of this strange purgation but a resolved professed conspiracy of these Romish Prelates even now againe utterly to drown us in popish superstition and idolatry which have now drowned us in Gods judgements by their stupendious late increase among us and to remove us out of the most cleare and comfortable light of Gods Word by the which we are taught how to serve and honour him the true cause why they now suppresse Lectures preaching and suspend our powerfullest Preachers every where that so we may walke on in romish hellish darknes serving and honouring the Pope and Divell in stead of God and live in all disorder without truth or verity Fiftly in the 6. order for the fast they have pared away this passage To avoide the inconvenience that may grow by the abuse of fasting Some esteeming it a meritorious worke others a good worke and of it selfe acceptable to God without due regard of the end Onely to gratifie the Papists whose doctrine this is and to place some merit in this present fast adding this clause to it in places where Sermons are allowed by the Proclamation of purpose to put downe Wednesday Lectures and preaching in London and other places where any parish is infected If these Prelats then be thus desperatly wicked and popish as to take advantage of Gods judgements to suppresse the preaching and Preachers of his Word when it is most necessary and usefull and to countenance justifie and set up Popery superstition idolatry error and disorder the chiefe causes of our plagues even in these dayes of pestilence that in the very Fastbooke to abuse and mock God to his face to dishonor his Majesty and grieve his peoples soules how transcendently impious popish wil they prove when God shal stay this plague if they bee not now deservedly punished for these their notorious impieties And is it not high time then for his Majesty to hang up such Archtraytors to our faith Church religion such truebred sons to the Roman Antichrist from whom Dr. Pocklington bosts they are lineally descended to execute judgement on them for these strange purgations other their Romish Innovations whereat the whole Kingdom crie shame which breed a general feare of a sudden alteration of our religiō Certainly til his Majesty shal see these purgations rectified superstition idolatry removed Gods Sabbaths duly sanctified the suppressed Preachers preaching of Gods word restored and hang up some of these Romish Prelates Inquisitors before the Lord as the Gibeonites once did the 7. sons of Saul we can never hope to abate any of Gods plagues or draw down any of his blessings on us by such a fast and Fastbook as this but augment his plagu●s and judgements more and more which have strangely increased since this fast begun contrary to al human reason and probability whereas it much decreased before the total number dying of the plague the week before the fast being but 458. 58 parishes infected and the very first weeke of the fast 838 treble the number the 2. last greatest plagues 67 parishes infected Cambridge Norwich Hampton Bath other eminent places cleare before being likewise visited since this fast begun a cleare evidence that God is much offended with these purgations the restraint of preaching on the fastday against which some Prelats are so mad that they have silenced persecuted divers Ministers since the fast proclaimed there being now so many suspended in our Norwich Diocesse only for not yeelding to popish innovations that in sundry Churches they have neither prayers preaching nor fasting which hath brought the plague among them and made the people at their wits ends many Ministers people there having left the Kingdome and thousands more being ready to depart the Land there being never such a persecution or havock made among Gods Ministers since Q Maries daies as a lecherous proud insolent Prelate hath there lately made against all Lawes of God and man to the astonishment of the whole Realme What then can wee expect but plagues upon plagues till such desperate persecurors be cut off Gods Word and Ministers restored unto their former liberty by our most gracious Soveraigne persecution of Gods Ministers and people being one chiefe cause of plagues Wherefore O England England if ever thou wilt be free from pests and judgements take notice of these thy Antichristian Prelates desperate practises innovations popish designes to bewaile oppose redresse them with all thy force and power O all ye English Nobles Courtiers and others who have any love or spark of religion piety zeale any tendernes of his Majesties honour or care for the peoples the Church or Kingdoms safety yet remaining with in your generous brests put to your helping hands praiers to rescue our religion and faithfull Ministers now suspended from the jawes of these devouring wolves and

tyrannizing Lordly Prelates raysed from the dungh●● who make havock of them both O our most pious King Charles as thou hast in two severall Declarations protested before God to all thy loving Sub●ects that thou wilt never give way to the licensing or authorizing of any thing whereby ANY INNOVATION IN THE LEAST DEGREE may creepe into our Church nor ever connive at ANY BACKSLIDING TO POPERY and that it is thy hearts desire to be found worthy of that title which thou esteemest the most glorious in all thy Crowne Defender of the faith to now behold these desperate innovations purgations and Romish practises of thy Prelates in open affront of these thy Declarations now or never shew thy selfe as we all hope beleeve and pray thou wilt a Prince more worthy of this glorious Title than any of thy royal progenitors by rooting all Popery superstition idolatry errors innovations out of this Church and Kingdom by restoring the preaching the Preachers of Gods word and purity of his worship and taking vengeance on these perfidious Prelates who have thus gelded thy fastbook and intend to make an Index expurgatorius upon all other ancient English Writers ere they be reprinted a thing considerable thus openly abused thy onely sister and her children now present with thee oppressed and grieved thy faithfull subjects dishonored thy God betrayed thy religion increased the plague among thy people as much as in them lyeth robbed thee both of thy Gods and peoples loves pulled thy Crowne off thy Royal head to set it on their own trayterous ambitious pates by exercising all ecclesiastical power yea Papal jurisdiction over thy subjects in their own names and rights alone and by trampling all thy lawes and Subjects liberties like Cobwebs thy subjects like Dogs and dirt under their tyrannical Papal feet If thou thus execute judgement on them and ease thy people from their intolerable tyranny no doubt this plague shall be ceased and this fast be pleasing to the Lord else he wil not accept it but proceed to plague us more and more O blessed Soveraigne that thou didst but heare the severall cries and outcries of thy people against these persecuting Prelates in many places especially in our Norwich Diocesse where little Pope Regulus hath playd such Rex that hee hath suspended above 60. of our sincerest painefullest conformable Ministers both from their Office and Benefice so as many of our Churches as the like was never since King Iohns dayes are quite shut up and Lord have mercy upon us may be written on their dores the people cry for the bread of their soules and their Ministers are prohibited to give it them This not onely wounds but breakes their hearts and makes them amazed O therefore gracious Soveraigne helpe now and heare the petitions cries and teares of thy poore people and hang up these Popelings for these and other their innumerable oppressions extortions innovations and harmes who suspend imprison and ruine others for meere toyes and trifles yea for defending your royall Prerogative against their Papall usurpations This is all the newes I shall now impart in this Coranto the next weeke God-willing you shall heare of Mr. Dade his excommunicating of Ferdinando Adams a Churchwarden in our Towne for not blotting out this sentence of Scripture written on Mr. Wards Church wall over his bawdy theevish Court It is written my house shall be called an house of prayer but ye have made it a den of theeves which excommunication is of record in S●archamber of our Bishops commanding Wo is me if I preach not the Gospel out of Mr. Scots Church and of the strange proceedings at Colchester against Mr. Samuel Burrowes for inditing Parson Necoman for rayling in the Communion Table Altarwiso and causing the Communicants to come up to the rayle to receive in a new unaccustomed maner contrary to the Statute of 1. Eliz. c. 2. and his Majesties Declarations this last Michaelmas Sessions which Inditement the Grand-Iury hath found but his Majesty yet can get no judgement In the meane time I shall conclude my Newes with the words of Patricke Adamson Archbishop of St. Andrtwes in his Publike Recantation in the Synod of Fiffe Aprill 8 1591. That the office of a Diocesian Bishop hath no authority at all to support it in ths Word of God that it is only founded on the politicke divise of men that the primacy of the Pope or Antichrist sprung from it that it is worthily condemned and that it hath been for 500. years and more the chiefe originall and instrument of suppressing the preaching of Gods Word in all Kingdomes as all Ecclesiasticall Historians testifie I therefore shall close up all with the Collect on S. Matthias day Almighty God which in the place of the traytor Bishop Iudas didst chuse thy faithfull servant Matthias to be of the number of the 12 Apostles Grant that thy Church being alwaies preserved from false Apostles may be ordered and guided by faithfull and true Pastors through Iesus Christ our Lord. And with the Collect on St. Peters day Almighty God which by thy Sonne Iesus Christ hath given to thy Apostle St. Peter many excellent gifts and commandedst him earnestly to feed thy Flocke make wee beseech thee all Bishops and Pastors diligently to preach thy holy Word and the people obediently to follow the same that they may receive the Crowne of everlasting glory through Iesus Christ our Lord Amen From Ipswich November 12. 1636.
